A Fallen Star
Composer(s): James Joiner
Performer(s): Jimmy C. Newman
and multiple other artists
A star fell from heaven, right into my arms The brightest star I know I've ever seen Then I found out that it was only you with all your charms Who came into my life to fill a dream
A fallen star (a fallen star) that's what you are The twinkle in your eye came from the sky You must have been from the Milky Way A fallen star that's what you are
A fallen star (a fallen star) that's what you are The twinkle in your eye came from the sky You must have been from the Milky Way A fallen star that's what you are
Pondré Flores En Tu Lecho Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Pondré flores en tu lecho y una nube en tu almohada todo el tiempo que me queda aventura imaginaria junto al muro de tu carne y tu puerta más pagana
Pondré un río transparente y la espuma que lo araña en tu vientre confundido para que no temas nada ni la estúpida estrategia que hay detrás de estas palabras
Pondré soles en tus ojos con la luz de la mañana y el latido de mis labios cuando tiemble tu mirada a lo largo del trayecto que tus lágrimas señalan
Pondré el aire que respiro encerrado en una jaula construida por tus brazos que son mi única morada y seré como ese polvo que has pisado y aún arrastras
Most Of The Time Composer(s): Jim Reeves Performer(s): Jim Reeves
I just burned the picture that you gave me I burned all your love letters, too I know that won`t tear you from my mem`ry But tell me what else I can do
I gave away the things that remind me I hardly ever mention your name Our friends never see you beside me But I know you`re there just the same
Most of the time you`d think I`m happy Most of the time there`s someone new But most of the time I feel like cryin` And most of the time that`s what I do
Most of the time you`d think I`m happy Most of the time there`s someone new But most of the time I feel like cryin` And most of the time that`s what I do
Pomme Et Cie Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Pomme, elle s'appelait pomme Et je trouvai ça mignon Car, à part le trognon Car, à part les pépins
Oh, oh, oh, Pomme Tout est bon dans la pomme Vitamines pour le cur Ça se digère en douceur Et ça vous donne bon teint
Oh, oh, oh, Pomme Avec ses petits chaussons Je lui doit bien une chanson Mais il y avait Prune
Elle était jolie, Prune Délicieuse amoureuse Aux yeux poissons de lune Frileuse comme aucune
Car la petite Prune Était une vraie brune Brune à longueur d'année Brune de la tête aux pieds En passant par ses dunes
Mais la petite Prune Avait une copine Du nom de Clémentine Et Clémentine
Clémentine je vous dis pas Un amour de rouquine C'était comme si le soleil Se promenait à mon bras
Oh, Clémentine Oh, fruit de ma passion S'en ai fallu d'une bêtise D'un rien, d'une cerise Et c'était pour de bon
Oh, oh Cerise Vous avez deviné J'ai pas pu résister Oh, oh, Cerise Cerise t'aime Elle me disait tout le temps Avec son petit accent Qui était tout un poème
Oh, oh, Cerise Son sourire m'électrise Mais il y a eu la méprise Cette horrible nuit Où tous les chats étaient gris
Et moi, aussi Alors je confondis Cerise et Myrtille Myrtille, Myrtille Me parlez plus de Myrtille
Trêve de littérature C'est l'heure des confitures La pire des avanies
Car la Myrtille S'est collée pour la vie Avec un drôle de gibier Dont j'aurai dû me méfier Qu'a juste dit : "Permettez"
Myrtille, Myrtille Je l'ai pris en pleine poire La fin de notre histoire C'est bien fait pour ma pomme, pomme, po-pomme Pomme, pomme, po-pomme
Oh, oh, oh
Non, j'ai pas connu de courgette Et peut-être bien que je regrette J'aurai connu le gratin Dans les cours du jet-set
Mais là je fabule Ma raison fait des bulles Vaut mieux que je récapitule
Oh, oh, oh, Pomme Oh, oh, oh, Prune Oh, Clémentine Oh, oh, Cerise Oh, oh, Myrtille Quelle salade de fruits
Where We'll Never Grow Old Composer(s): James Cleveland Moore Performer(s): The Carter Family and multiple other artists
I have heard of a land on a faraway strand 'Tis a beautiful home of the soul Built by Jesus on high, there we never shall die 'Tis a land where we'll never grow old
Never grow old, never grow old In a land where we'll never grow old Never grow old, never grow old In a land where we'll never grow old
In that beautiful home where we'll never more roam We shall be in the sweet by and by Happy praise to the king through eternity sing 'Tis the land where we never shall die
Never grow old, never grow old In a land where we'll never grow old Never grow old, never grow old In a land where we'll never grow old
When our work here is done and the life crown is won And our troubles and trials are o'er All our sorrow will end and our voices will blend With the loved ones who've gone on before
Never grow old, never grow old In a land where we'll never grow old Never grow old, never grow old In a land where we'll never grow old
Polvo Enamorado Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
No le temo a la vida ni a la muerte cuando siento en mi pecho palpitar tu corazón no hay poder en el mundo que consiga doblegarme por la fuerza a su razón cuando eres tierra cuando soy agua No hay misterio que oculta su secreto cuando siento en tu cuerpo que el principio es el final que la vida es el sueño que me acuna Por tu vientre más allá del bien y el mal cuando eres tierra cuando soy agua Y si al fin no somos mas que polvo seamos polvo, seamos polvo nada mas... mas polvo enamorado No hay becerros de oro suficientes ni perfumes de incienso ni coronas de laurel Que consigan sembrarme ni lo duda De alejarme un sólo instante de tu piel cuando eres tierra cuando soy agua No me importa instalarme en la locura ese infierno divino donde Dios y Lucifer inventaron al ángel y al demonio que conviven en tu cuerpo de mujer Cuando eres tierra cuando soy agua Y si al fin no somos más que polvo

Sneakin' Around Composer(s): Dolly Parton Performer(s): Burt Reynolds
I like fancy, frilly things High heeled shoes and diamond rings Rag time bands and western swingin' Sneakin' around with you
Well I like beer and rodeos Detective books and dominos Football games and Cheerios And sneakin' around with you
Sneakin' around with you Goin' around or two Doin' what lovers do Whenever they're sneakin' around
I like lots of cash on hand And dirty jokes about the fuller-brush man I like stuff I understand Like sneakin' around with you
You know, I like a thrill that has no strings Friendship that don't ever change And laughter from the joy of things And sneakin' around with you
Sneakin' around with you Goin' around or two Doin' what lovers do Whenever they're sneakin' around
I like drive-in picture shows Kissin' long and lovin' slow Secret places lovers go Whenever they're sneakin' around
Ooh I like the crazy things we try And the sexy things we fantasise Just makin' out in the broad day light And sneakin' around with you
Sneakin' around with you Keepin' it all brand new Gettin' the best of you Whenever we're sneakin' around
Sneakin' around, that's all I'm gonna lay down the law Watchin' her rise and fall An' lovin' our sneakin' around We're just sneakin' around Aw, we're just sneakin'

Libera di parlare, libera di cercare Di fare e di disfare, di esser soltanto me Libera di capire, libera di sentire Realizzare un fine e di sbagliare da me So bene quel che voglio, quello che non voglio Ho il mio orgoglio, cosa c'entri tu Scoprirmi innamorata, ma non a te legata Donna abituata a camminar da sé (Libera di pensare, libera di mostrare) Di pensare... libera di mostrare (Di dare e di non dare), quello che piace a te Libera di provare, libera di esser madre Peccare o non peccare e di pagare da me Libera come il sole, libera come il mare Noi come due persone, libera io e te (Libera come il sole, libera come il mare) Come il sole... (Noi come due persone, libera io e te) Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na... (Libera come il sole, libera come il mare) Come il mare... (Noi come due persone), libera io e te (Libera come il sole, libera come il mare) Come il mare... (Noi come due persone), libera io e te (Libera come il sole, libera come il mare) Na na na na na na na... na na na... come il mare...

Polka Dots And Moonbeams Composer(s): Johnny Burke; James Van Heusen Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
A country dance was being held in a garden I felt a bump and heard an Oh, beg your pardon Suddenly I saw polka dots and moonbeams All around a pug-nosed dream
The music started and was I the perplexed one I held my breath and said May I have the next one In my frightened arms, those polka dots and moonbeams Sparkled round a pug-nosed dream
There were questions in the eyes of other dancers As we crowded over the floor There were questions but my heart knew all the answers And perhaps a few things more
Now in a cottage built of lilac and laughter I know the meaning of the words ever after And Ill always see those polka dots and moonbeams When I kiss my pug-nosed dream
There were questions in the eyes of other dancers As we crowded over the floor There were questions but my heart knew all the answers And perhaps a few things more
Now in a cottage built of lilac and laughter I know the meaning of the words ever after And Ill always see those polka dots and moonbeams When I kiss my pug-nosed dream

How can I get your love When you keep on snatching it back Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me girl
How can I get your love When you keep on snatching it back That's what I wanna know right now girl
How you expect for me to get it When you keep on, doing like that
You want me, and I want you But you're afraid, that I won't be true I get your love, in the palm of my hand You change your mind, and snatch it back again
So tell me How can I get your love When you keep on snatching it back Oh, you wanna tell me now, girl
How can I get your love When you keep on snatching it back That's what I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
How you expect for me to get it When you keep on, doing like that
Some other man, before my time Must have loved you, and left you behind
Now you're afraid, that I'll hurt you But I won't do anything, you don't want me to
So tell me How can I get your love When you keep on snatching it back Oh, I wanna know right now, right now girl
How can I get your love When you keep on snatching it back You don't have to do me like that, baby
I wanna do How can I get your love When you keep on snatching it back Oh you know I love you baby
How can I get your love When you keep on snatching it back ...
Well, I went for a drive in my pickup truck I picked up my girl, 'cause I wanted to Show her my gloves, 'cause she had on her mitts And I blushed brightly when she showed me her Perfume that she buys whenever Avon calls So I took off my pants, and I showed her my Polka-dot undies! My polka-dot undies!
Yeah, my polka-dot undies from Miracle Mart I said, "Look, be careful, I think I'm gonna Turn a sharp corner, and go up on the grass" She leaned out the window, and I thought I saw her Pointing to something that flashed by real quick She said, "Hey, look at that! It looks just like your Polka-dot undies!" Polka-dot undies!
Yeah, my polka-dot undies that I wear back-to-front She smiled and she said, "Have you seen my Brother's new car? The one that he stole?" Then she asked me to look up her Whole damn family, and I went into shock When I found out it was her sister who really liked Polka-dot undies! Polka-dot undies! Yeah!
Well, I took her out to dinner, but on one thing she was firm She'd swallow almost anything, except for Stories that her brother didn't like birds But hung around leather bars, and liked to eat Fish and chips, and he still sucked his thumb I said, "I don't mind!" And she kissed me on my Polka-dot undies! My polka-dot undies!
I kissed her softly, and I said, "I'll tell you what Let's roll up the windows, and I'll eat your Last bar of chocolate - the one that's in the parcel" She said, "No, no, no", and she called me a Taxi And I said, "I beg your pardon! But get me home real fast before I lose my Polka-dot undies!" Polka-dot undies!
The moral of this story, like a jewel it is gleamin' But you'll never find it in a glass of warm Milk or tea, 'cause it will not fit And you probably already think I am full of Vague innuendos and double-meanin' rhymes But I'll tell you that obscenity is all in your Polka-dot undies! Your polka-dot undies! Yeah, your edible undies! Your polka-dot undies! Yeah!

Snart Tystnar Musiken Composer(s): Tomas Ledin Performer(s): Tomas Ledin
Om du tror på det första ögonblicket Om du vågar lita på det Då finns det ingen anledning att gå ensam härifrån Tänk på det som hänt mellan oss ikväll
Snart tystnar musiken Vi kan gå långsamt genom stan Vi kan stanna till ibland Vi kan drunkna i varann Och om sanningen skall fram Jag vill att vi skall älska, inatt
Om du vågar lita på vad du känner Om du säkert vet att det är så Då får du inte tveka, du kan inte bara gå Efter vad som hänt mellan oss ikväll
Snart tystnar musiken Vi kan gå långsamt genom stan Vi kan stanna till ibland Vi kan drunkna i varann Och om sanningen skall fram Jag vill att vi skall älska, inatt
Det finns tillfällen i livet, Som aldrig kommer igen Man känner det på sig Av nån anledning vet man att det är så
Snart tystnar musiken Vi kan gå långsamt genom stan Vi kan stanna till ibland Vi kan drunkna i varann Och om sanningen skall fram Jag vill att vi skall älska
Snart tystnar musiken Vi kan gå långsamt genom stan Vi kan stanna till ibland Vi kan drunkna i varann Och om sanningen skall fram Jag vill att vi skall älska
