Sing A Little Song About Anything Composer(s): Smiley Burnette Performer(s): Roy Rogers
Just sing a little song about anything I wonder why I feel so happy Words should rhyme but whos got time Just sing a little song about anything I wonder why I feel so happy
I know lots of things worth knowing But you wont have a need of an education where youre going I am haunted You mean wanted Sing a little song about anything I wonder why I feel so happy
What do you think of a crazy geek who feels so cheerful And he a guy whos never cried Oh how fearful! Sing a little song about anything I wonder why I feel so happy
Would you ever think the fellow knows the meaning of worry One of you whos never blue or in a hurry Sing a little song about anything I wonder why I feel so happy
Ill be singing You mean swinging Sing a little song about anything I wonder why I feel so happy
Pensée Des Morts Composer(s): Alphonse De Lamartine; Georges Brassens Performer(s): Georges Brassens
Voilà les feuilles sans sève qui tombent sur le gazon voilà le vent qui s'élève et gémit dans le vallon voilà l'errante hirondelle qui rase du bout de l'aile l'eau dormante des marais voilà l'enfant des chaumières qui glane sur les bruyères le bois tombé des forêts
C'est la saison où tout tombe aux coups redoublés des vents un vent qui vient de la tombe moissonne aussi les vivants ils tombent alors par mille comme la plume inutile que l'aigle abandonne aux airs lorsque des plumes nouvelles viennent réchauffer ses ailes à l'approche des hivers
C'est alors que ma paupière vous vit palir et mourir tendres fruits qu'à la lumière dieu n'a pas laissé murir quoique jeune sur la terre je suis dejà solitaire parmi ceux de ma saison et quand je dis en moi-même "où sont ceux que ton cur aime?" je regarde le gazon
C'est un ami de l'enfance qu'aux jours sombres du malheur nous preta la providence pour appuyer notre cur il n'est plus: notre âme est veuve il nous suit dans notre épreuve et nous dit avec pitié "Ami si ton âme est pleine de ta joie ou de ta peine qui portera la moitié?"
C'est une jeune fiancée qui, le front ceint du bandeau n'emporta qu'une pensée de sa jeunesse au tombeau Triste, hélas! dans le ciel même pour revoir celui qu'elle aime elle revient sur ses pas et lui dit: "ma tombe est verte! sur cette terre déserte qu'attends-tu? je n'y suis pas!"
C'est l'ombre pâle d'un père qui mourut en nous nommant c'est une sur, c'est un frère qui nous devance un moment tous ceux enfin dont la vie un jour ou l'autre ravie enporte une part de nous murmurent sous la pierre "vous qui voyez la lumière de nous vous souvenez vous?"
Voilà les feuilles sans sève qui tombent sur le gazon voilà le vent qui s'élève et gémit dans le vallon voilà l'errante hirondelle qui rase du bout de l'aile l'eau dormante des marais voilà l'enfant des chaumières qui glane sur les bruyères le bois tombé des forêts
Home Composer(s): Roger Miller Performer(s): Jim Reeves
Well, I've been a traveler most of my life Never took a home, never took a wife Ran away young and decided to roam Wanna see my mama and my daddy back home
Home, where the river runs cold The water tastes good, the winters ain't cold Home, where the trees grow tall The home fires burn, the whippoorwills call
I remember stories that my daddy used to tell My eyes would get big, and his chest would swell I could sit for hours and listen with glee As he'd tell of how he lived when he's a boy like me
Home, where the river runs cold The water tastes good, the winters ain't cold Home, where the trees grow tall The home fires burn, the whippoorwills call
Well, mama dear, mama do you still love your boy After all my roamin' can I still bring you joy Mom sent a letter, got it not long ago She said "come home, I'm missin' you so
Pense À Moi Composer(s): Jacques Datin; Robert Gall Performer(s): France Gall
{Refrain:} Ne prends pas cet air là Quand tu n'es pas avec moi Et si tu t'ennuies pense à moi Ton chagrin s'en ira Quand je serai dans tes bras Mais en attendant Pense à moi
Pense à nos vacances Au ciel bleu Pense à notre plage À nous deux A ce grand soleil Sur toi et moi Et pense à la neige A l'hiver Au chalet Sous le sapin vert À nos soirées Près du feu de bois {au Refrain}
Pense à tous les mots Que l'on dit Quand tous les amis Sont partis Qu'il ne reste au monde Que toi et moi Alors on devient Silencieux Tu me caresses Avec les yeux En disant tout bas "Je t'aime toi"
Je l'entend déjà Au matin Le train qui partira Demain Et qui te ramène enfin Vers moi Tu sais bien Que je serai là Avec tant d'amour Dans la voix Ne pense pense pense Qu'à ça {au Refrain}
Pensar En Nada Composer(s): León Gieco Performer(s): León Gieco; Los Piojos
Justo ayer me di cuenta que solo es cuestión de plata mientras diez ventanillas cobran una sola es la que paga
De como piensa la gente a veces la diferencia es tan grande que parecen seres de alguna otra tierra
Y que me dicen de esa casa sola que se ve desde un avión quizá en la soledad no haya dolor de pensar, oh dolor de pensar de pensar en nada, oh en nada, en nada oh en nada
En la oficina del trabajo llegando el año nuevo todos se pelean por ese maldito ascenso
Con la cuota de frustración algunos la viven de rosa la ciudad se pone grande y cada vez mas peligrosa
I'm Beginning To Forget You Composer(s): Willie Phelps Performer(s): Jim Reeves; Elvis Presley
I'm beginning to forget you That old heartache is gone I'm beginning to sleep at night No more crying 'till dawn I can hear your name mentioned now And it brings no misery I'm beginnin to forget you Like you forgot me I'm beginning to smile again After crying for so long I can hear the tune we loved, so well And it's just another song I'm so happy that it's over I'm so thankful to be free I'm beginnin to forget you Like you forgot me
I can hear the tune we loved, so well And it's just another song I'm so happy that it's over I'm so thankful to be free I'm beginnin to forget you Like you forgot me...
Pensami Composer(s): Giovanni Belfiore; María Mendez Grever Performer(s): Julio Iglesias
Se nessuno crede ancora che ti amo è perché non mi han mai visto innamorato Io ti giuro che io stesso mi sorprendo di come d'improvviso son cambiato Pur di star vicino a te farei pazzie e vorrei poter fermare i tuoi pensieri Quei silenzi misti di malinconie mi fan sentir geloso di chi non ami più
Pensami tanto, tanto e intensamente con il corpo e con la mente come se io fossi lì
Guardami con quegli occhi azzurro mare che mi sanno anche ingannare ma mi piaci anche così
Sognami con la forza di un'amante che è lontana, e non distante ma che arriva dentro qui
Baciami bacia tutta la mia pelle... Si può arrivare alle stelle dicendo un semplice sì
Se nessuno crede ancora che ti amo è perché non mi han mai visto innamorato Quei silenzi misti di malinconie mi fan sentir geloso di chi non ami più
Perdido em meus pensamentos É que me encontro tão só Na boca um sabor de veneno No peito, aquele nó Esperando em qualquer caminho Um dia, te encontrar Peito a peito, frente a frente Meu amor, o que é que há? Ai meu amor A vida pode se acabar Que queres mais que eu faça Além do grito no ar? A ilusão, do tempo a esperar por mim Te quero o tempo todo, perto de mim Não sei o que é de direito Mas tudo em mim é você Quando é pra falar de amor Já começo a enlouquecer... Ai coração Faz o teu fogo arder Naquele abraço amigo Na noite que vai chover Naquele abraço amigo
Ho lavorato tutto il giorno però quando arriva la notte, nel cielo restano sempre le stelle Nel fiume vedo galleggiare una foglia portata via dalla vita, ma so che naviga verso le stelle Sincerit , questo è il nome che vorrei dare a te sincerit , questo è il nome che vorrei io da te Nel fiume vedo galleggiare una foglia Portata via dalla vita, ma so che naviga verso le stelle Ho perso tutto lavorando però ritorno nella tua vita, nel cielo restano sempre le stelle Sincerit , questo è il nome che vorrei dare a te sincerit , questo è il nome che vorrei io da te Ho perso tutto lavorando però ritorno nella tua vita, nel cielo restano sempre le stelle Vorrei poterti dare tutto di me i giorni e tutte le notti polvere,sogni e luci di stelle Sincerit , questo è il nome che vorrei dare a te sincerit , questo è il nome che vorrei io da te
Penny Serenade Composer(s): Melle Weersma; Arthur William Hallifax Performer(s): Al Bowlly; and various other artists
Once I strayed neath the window Of a lovely, lovely lady And she smiled while I softly played My penny serenade
Si si si, you can hear it for a penny Si si si, just a penny serenade
In her eyes shone the tender dawn of love And sweet surrender As for me, in my heart I played a lovers serenade
Si si si, hear my love song for a penny Si si si, just a penny serenade
In a dream so divine, she was mine No word had been spoken When I woke from my dreams, she was gone No word had been spoken
Still I pray that wherever she may be She will remember In her heart, she will always hear My penny serenade
(Si si si) Si si si (You can hear it for a penny) You can hear it for a penny (Si si si} Si si si (Just a penny serenade) Just a penny serenade Just a penny serenade
Sol De Inverno First performance by: Simone de Oliveira - 1965
Sabe deus que eu quis Contigo ser feliz Viver ao sol do teu olhar Mais terno Morto o teu desejo Vivo o meu desejo Primavera em flor Ao sol de inverno Sonhos que sonhei Onde estão Horas que vivi Quem as tem De que serve ter coração E não ter o amor de ninguém Beijos que te dei Onde estão A quem foste dar O que é meu Vale mais não ter coração Do que ter e não ter, como eu Eu em troca de nada Dei tudo na vida Bandeira vencida Rasgada no chão Sou a data esquecida A coisa perdida Que vai a leilão. Sonhos que sonhei Onde estão Horas que vivi Quem as tem De que serve ter coração E não ter o amor de ninguém Vivo de saudades, amor A vida perdeu fulgor Como o sol de inverno Não tenho calor

Penny Lane Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney Performer(s): The Beatles
Penny Lane there in a barber showing photographs Of every head he's had the pleasure to know And all the people that come and go Stop and say "Hello" On the corner is a banker with a motorcar And little children laugh at him behind his back And the banker never wears a mac In the pouring rain - very strange Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes There beneath the blue suburban skies I sit, and meanwhile back In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen He likes to keep his fire engine clean It's a clean machine Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes A four of fish and finger pies in summer Meanwhile back behind the shelter in the middle of the roundabout The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray And though she feels as if she's in a play She is anyway In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim And then the fireman rushes in From the pouring rain - very strange Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes There beneath the blue suburban skies I sit, and meanwhile back Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes There beneath the blue suburban skies... Penny Lane!
Since You've Asked Composer(s): Judy Collins First release by: Judy Collins - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
What I'll give you since you asked Is all my time together Take the rugged sunny days The warm and Rocky weather Take the roads that I have walked along Looking for tomorrows time Peace of mind
As my life spills into yours Changing with the hours Filling up the world with time Turning time to flowers I can show you all the songs That I never sang to one man before
We have seen a million stones lying by the water You have climbed the hills with me To the mountain shelter Taken off the days one by one Setting them to breathe in the sun
Take the lilies and the lace From the days of childhood All the willow winding paths Leading up and outward This is what I give This is what I ask you for Nothing more
Penny Arcade Composer(s): Sammy King Performer(s): Roy Orbison
A light shown in the night some way ahead Blue turned into green then it was red And stirring the night love music played the light I saw in the night was a penny arcade
Hey step up and play each machine seemed to say As I walked round and round the penny arcade Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle And youll make all those colored lights cascade And music played at the penny arcade Yes it played and it played, played all the time Roll up and spend your last dime
At first I thought it a dream that I was in Lost, lost in a sea of glass and tin But no, so dipping my hand in the back of my jeans I grabbed a handful of coins to feed the machine
Repeat chorus
Oh! (repeat chorus)
Roll up and spend your last Roll up and spend your last Roll up and spend your last dime
Absent Friends
First performance by: Ingvar Wixell - 1965
A night of spring is a lovely thing But I feel sad in this night of spring For this is the time the sloe gets bright And this is a most bewitching night And I am lonely and you are far And you can't hear what I sing
I wish I knew where you are tonight I wish you're thinking of me tonight Where are you tonight? I wish you feel how I long for you And I wish you're missing me too And I wish I knew where to go Knowing you Knowing you
We ought to walk where the cowslips grow Behind the hedge of candescent sloe And you ought to smile and look at me And I ought to kiss you tenderly But I don't know if you still are mine This lovely evening of spring
I wish I knew where you are tonight I wish you're thinking of me tonight Where are you tonight?
I wish you feel how I long for you And I wish you're missing me too And I wish I knew where to go Knowing you Knowing you
