She (Adapted from: Tous Les Visages De L'amour - 1974) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Herbert Kretzmer Performer(s): Charles Aznavour - 1974 and multiple other artists

She May be the face I can't forget A trace of pleasure I regret May be my treasure or the price I have to pay She may be the song that Solomon sings May be the chill that autumn brings My be a hundred tearful things Within the measure of the day
She May be the beauty or the beast May be the famine or the feast May turn each day into heaven or a hell She may be the mirror of my dream A smile reflected in a stream She may not be what she may seem Inside, a shell
She Who always seems so happy to crow Whose eyes can be so private and so proud No one' s allowed to see them when they cry She may be the love that can and hope to last May come to me from shadows of the past That I remember till the day I die
She May be the reason I survive The why and where for I'm alive The one I'll care for through the rough and rainy years Me I'll take her laughter and her tears And make them all my souvenirs For where she goes I got to be The meaning of my life is

Mi madre lloraba y mi madre reia Y el tiempo pasaba y ella envejecia Cogido a sus faldas aprendi a quererla Pero ella lloraba su cama vacia No tuve mas padre que un simple apellido Y fue mi madre, padre y madre, todo sola Y luego triste en su cama sentada, mi madre cantaba
Yo quiero un amante Quiero un amante Quiero un amante Quiero un amante Quiero un amigo Quiero una vida De la que no pueda avergonzarme Del panadero o del portero De todo el barrio que quiere espiarme Quiero un amor, quiero cualquier cosa De la que no tenga que ocultarme
Tal vez ahora es tarde para comprenderla Pero me doy cuenta, no debi acusarte No supe entender que te sintieras sola En las noches frias al ir a acostarte Perdona, perdona Tu cancion es buena, es limpia y la debi cantar contigo
Yo quiero un amante Quiero un amante Quiero un amante Quiero un amante Quiero un amigo Quiero una vida De la que no deba avergonzarme Del panadero o del portero Y de mi hijo que quiere juzgarme Quiero un amor, quiero cualquier cosa De la que no pueda ocultarme De la que no deba avergonzarme Del panadero o del portero Y de mi hijo que quiere juzgarme Quiero un amor para no ocultarme Que quiero un amante Yo quiero un amante Necesito un amante Quiero un amante Quiero un amor Quiero una vida

Lei il viso che non scorderai Lorgoglio ed il coraggio lei Come un tesoro loro dentro gli occhi suoi Lei l'estate che ricanterai il giorno che ricorderai e mille cose che non sai che può insegnarti solo lei
lei la tua ragione il tuo perché il centro del tuo vivere la luce di un mattino che che non perderai lei lo specchio dove tornerai dove ti riconoscerai semplicemente come sei, uguale a lei
Lei l'estate che ricanterai il giorno che ricorderai e mille cose che non sai che può insegnarti solo lei
lei regala i suoi sorrisi senza mai svelare al mondo quando non ne ha privando il suo dolore libertà lei forse è l'amore che non ha pietà che ti arricchisce con la povertà di un gesto semplice che eternità
lei la tua ragione il tuo perché il centro del tuo vivere la luce di un mattino che che non perderai lei lo specchio dove tornerai dove ti riconoscerai semplicemente come sei esattamente come lei lei....lei.....lei.....

Titles In Other Languages: 1974 - She 1987 - Waar Ik Voor Leef
Lei, forse sara' la prima che Io non potro' dimenticar La mia fortuna o il prezzo che, dovro' pagar Lei, la canzone nata qui Che ha gia' cantato chissa' chi L'aria d'estate che ora c'e' Nel primo autunno su di me.. Lei, la schiavitu' la liberta' Il dubbio la serenita' Preludio a giorni luminosi oppure bui Lei, sara' lo specchio dove io Riflettero' progetti e idee Il fine ultimo che avro', da ora in poi
Lei, cosi' importante cosi' unica Dopo la lunga solitudine Intransigente e imprevedibile Lei, forse l'amore troppo atteso che Dall'ombra del passato torna a me Per starmi accanto fino a che vivro' Lei, a cui io non rinuncerei Sopravvivendo accanto a lei Ad anni, combattuti ed avversita' Lei, sorrisi e lacrime da cui Prendono forma i sogni miei Ovunque vada arriverei A passo a passo accanto a lei Lei, lei, lei
Quiet Composer(s): Paul Simon Performer(s): Paul Simon; Christine Collister
I am heading for a time of quiet When my restlessness is past And I can lie down on my blanket And release my fists at last
I am heading for a time of solitude Of peace without illusions When the perfect circle Marries all beginnings and conclusions
And when they say That you're not good enough Well the answer is You're not But who are they Or what is it That eats at what you've got With the hunger of ambition For the change inside the purse They are handcuffs on the soul, my friends Handcuffs on the soul And worse
I am heading for a place of quiet Where the sage and sweetgrass grow By a lake of sacred water From the mountain's melted snow

Toi, par tes mille et un attraits Je ne sais jamais qui tu es Tu changes si souvent de visage et d'aspect Toi quelque soit ton âge et ton nom Tu es un ange ou le démon Quand pour moi tu prends tour à tour Tous les visages de l'amour
Toi, si Dieu ne t'avait modelé Il m'aurait fallu te créer Pour donner à ma vie sa raison d'exister Toi qui est ma joie et mon tourment Tantôt femme et tantôt enfant Tu offres à mon cur chaque jour Tous les visages de l'amour
Moi, je suis le feu qui grandit ou qui meure Je suis le vent qui rugit ou qui pleure Je suis la force ou la faiblesse Moi, je pourrais défier le ciel et l'enfer Je pourrais dompter la terre et la mer Et réinventer la jeunesse
Toi, viens fais moi ce que tu veux Un homme heureux ou malheureux Un mot de toi je suis poussière ou je suis Dieu Toi, sois mon espoir, sois mon destin J'ai si peur de mes lendemains Montre à mon âme sans secours Tous les visages de l'amour Toi! tous les visages de l'amour
Quiet Life Composer(s): Ray Davies Performer(s): Ray Davies
Something's happenin' but I'm just gonna turn a blind eye. If I see no evil, ask no questions, and I hear no lies Can't communicate with minds that are small With some people it's like talkin' to the wall And a fellow who walks away lives to battle another day And I've really got no appetite for a fight Not tonight
All I want is a quiet life Anything for a quiet life No ambition to rock the boat When I can just stay afloat
Be content with a quiet life All I want is a quiet life Anything for a quiet life Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil at all Confidentially, between these walls I'm on top of it all
I'd rather have 'em think I'm deaf, dumb, and blind Than aggravation every time I speak my mind Keep schtum and have a quiet life Anything for a quiet life
I could easily blow my top Start a row But why start now?
Give your daddy a quiet life Give your mother a quiet life Anything for a quiet life
(instrumental section)
Give your daddy a quiet life Give your mother a quiet life Anything for a quiet life Confidentially, between these walls I'm on top of it all

Quiet Love French Title: Mon Émouvant Amour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour & Liza Minnelli
Charles: Tu vis dans un silence éternel et muet Je traduis tes regards et lis dans tes sourires Interprétant les mots que tes mains veulent dire Dans ton language étrange qui semble être un ballet
Un émouvant ballet que tu règles pour moi De gestes fascinants qui sont jamais les mêmes Et quand du bout des doigts tu murmures je t'aime J'ai l'impression parfois comme entendre ta voix
Liza: You see, my lover makes no sound His language is his hands I watch his fingers dance and try to understand I try to understand his elegant ballet In my heart I can hear the words he longs to say
And so I've learned to speak a language he can hear To tell him how I feel whenever he his near He lives around the block, it's just a little walk We'll meet tonight at eight At eight tonight, we'll talk
Oh my love, oh my love Quiet love, quiet love I am calm whenever you are near And somehow I can hear what your heart wants to say
Both: Comme pour te parler I have a small surprise Je manquais de moyens To spring on you tonight Me trouvant près de toi I'm learning how to sign Comme en terre étrangère Please God I get it right Ne pouvant me servir It's something that you do D'aucun vocabulaire With confidence and ease À mon tour j'ai appris I'm clumsier than you Le langage des mains This might come out Chinese Tu ris un peu de moi But come and fill my heart Quand tu vois mes efforts Its never danced this way Car je suis maladroit I'm nervous and it's hard Et fais souvent des gaffes I have so much to say Je n'ai jamais été I've always been afraid Très fort en orthographe My dream seemed so unreal Mais j'ai tant à te dire But now I bless this world Et je t'aime si fort For how you make me feel
Mon amour Oh, my love Mon amour Oh, my love Mon amour You are shy Mon amour So am I Mon amour But if you would tell me that it's true Mon émouvant amour You feel the way I do Mon merveilleux amour Then tomorrow can start Mon déchirant amour As we are, together we'll grow old Mon amour, mon émouvant amour For wise men always say Mon merveilleux amour That in silence Mon déchirant amour There's gold

Quiet nights and quiet stars Quiet chords from my guitar Floating on the silence that surrounds us Quiet nights and quiet dreams Quiet walks by quiet streams And the window lookin' on the mountains and the sea how lovely This is where to be Here with you so close to me Till the final flicker of life's ember I who was lost and lonely Believing life was a only a bitter tragic joke Have found with you the meaning of existence oh, my love This is where to be Here with you so close to me Till the final flicker of life's ember I who was lost and lonely Believing life was a only a tragic joke Have found with you the meaning of existence oh, my love

Quiet Storm Composer(s): Rose Ella Jones; Smokey Robinson) Performer(s): Smokey Robinson; CrossTown; Johnny Hammond; Chip Shelton; Gerald Veasley; Mobb Deep
Soft & warm, a quiet storm Quiet as when flowers talk at break of dawn, break of dawn A power source of tender force Generatin', radiatin', turn me on, turn me on Ah you short-circuit all my nerves Promisin' electric things You touch me & suddenly there's rainbow rings Quiet storm blowin' through my life, uh huh Quiet storm blowin' through my life, ah Blow, baby
A windy sigh, weak am I Butterfly caught up in the hurricane, hurricane Lucky me, I'm barely free Suddenly I'm caught up in your somber rain Ah shower me with your sweet love I will bathe in every drop through all the seasons Let it pour & never stop Quiet storm blowin' through my life, through my life You're just like a Quiet storm blowin' through my life
(instrumental)
Ah shower me with your sweet love I will bathe in every drop through all the seasons Let it pour & never stop Quiet storm blowin' through my life, through my life You're just like a Quiet storm blowin' through my life Blow, baby

Sharkey's Day Composer(s): Laurie Anderson Performer(s): Laurie Anderson
Sun's coming up Like a big bald head Poking up over the grocery store It's Sharkey's day It's Sharkey's day today
Sharkey wakes up and Sharkey says There was this man... And there was this road... And if only I could remember these dreams... I know they're trying to tell me...something. Ooooeee Strange dreams (Strange dreams) Oh yeah
And Sharkey says I turn around, it's fear I turn around again And it's love Oh yeah Strange dreams
And the little girls sing Oooee Sharkey And the manager says Mr. Sharkey? He's not at his desk right now Could I take a message? And the little girls sing Oooeee Sharkey He's Mister Heartbreak They sing Oooeee Sharkey Yeah He's Mister Heartbreak
And Sharkey says All of nature talks to me If I could just figure out what it was trying to tell me Listen! Trees are swinging in the breeze They're talking to me Insects are rubbing their legs together They're all talking They're talking to me And short animals They're bucking up on their hind legs Talking Talking to me Hey! Look out! Bugs are crawling up my legs! You know? I'd rather see this on TV Tones it down
And Sharkey says I turn around, it's fear I turn around again, and it's love Nobody knows me Nobody knows my name
And Sharkey says All night long I think of those little planes up there Flying around You can't even see them They're specks! And they're full of tiny people Going places
And Sharkey says You know? I bet they could all land on the head of a pin And the little girls sing Ooooeee Sharkey! He's Mister Heartbreak They sing Oooeee That Sharkey! He's a slow dance on the edge of the lake He's a whole landscape gone to seed He's gone wild! He's screeching tires on an oil slick at midnight on the road to Boston a long time ago
And Sharkey says Lights! Camera! Action! Timber! At the beginning of the movie, they know they have to find each other But they ride off in opposite directions
Sharkey says I turn around, it's fear I turn around again, and it's love Nobody knows me Nobody knows my name
You know? They're growing mechanical trees They grow to their full height And then they chop themselves down
Sharkey says All of life comes from some strange lagoon It rises up, it bucks up to it's full height from a boggy swamp on a foggy night It creeps into your house It's life! It's life! I turn around, it's fear I turn around again, and it's love Nobody knows me Nobody knows my name
Deep in the heart of darkest America Home of the brave Ha! Ha! Ha! You've already paid for this Listen to my heart beat
And the little girls sing Oooeee Sharkey He's a slow dance on the edge of the lake They sing Ooooeeee Sharkey He's Mister Heartbreak Paging Mr. Sharkey White courtesy telephone please
And Sharkey says I turn around, it's fear I turn around again, and it's love
And the little girls sing Ooooeee Sharkey Yeah On top of Old Smokey all covered with snow That's where I wanna, that's where I'm gonna That's where I'm gonna go
Qu'il Est Loin L'Amour Composer(s): Claude Lemesle; Alain Goraguer Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri
Qu'il est loin loin loin l'amour Quand tu marches à sa rencontre Et qu'il marche à ton secours Mais à l'autre bout du monde Qu'il est loin loin loin l'amour Tout au bout de ce voyage Parsemé de carrefours De prénoms et de visages
{Refrain:} Mon vieux monde joli renom Quelle blonde est pour ce blond Quelle brune pour celui-ci Toi pour l'une, moi pour lui Mon vieux monde joli renom Quelle blonde est pour ce blond Quelle brune pour celui-ci Toi pour l'une, moi pour lui Qu'il est loin loin loin l'amour Et pourtant parfois si proche Même Rue du Vieux Faubourg Même immeuble même porche Qu'il est loin loin loin l'amour Quand tu t'endors solitaire Demain est un autre jour Elle arrive la lumière
