Vito marie sa fille et dans parc ils sont tous là Des plus grands aux petits, ils font partie de la Mafia On s'embrasse et l'on oublie ses rancoeurs On donne en cage son honneur
Savez-vous ce qu'il y a derrière les murs de la villa Des hommes en smock avec une mitraillette à chaque bras Des hommes pour garder les voitures et protéger toutes les parures Voilà
On l'appela Vito Corleone Le jour où il franchit l'Atlantique Lui, l'exilé, le Sicilien à New-York Il va découvrir comme on pratique La pègre dans les arrières-boutique En une rafale, tombe son rivale Il devient le Parrain Capable du bien comme du pire Les politiciens craignent son empire Trafic d'alcool Père de famille Quelle est loin la Sicile
Constance au bras, le padrano ouvre la tarentelle Parmi les corbeilles de fleurs, tourbillonne les dentelles Soudain Johnny pousse la cancionnetta Sous les bravos de la Mama
Vito est mort, tué dans la rue Par un gang inconnu Il a laissé trois fils et la légende continue

Speak Low Composer(s): Ogden Nash - Kurt Weill First performance by: Mary Martin & Kenny Baker - 1943 Covered by multiple other artists
Speak low when you speak, love Our summer day withers away Too soon, too soon Speak low when you speak, love Our moment is swift, like ships adrift We're swept apart too soon Speak low, darling speak low Love is a spark lost in the dark Too soon, too soon I feel wherever I go That tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here And always too soon Time is so old and love so brief Love is pure gold and time a thief We're late darling, we're late The curtain descends, ev'rything ends Too soon, too soon I wait darling, I wait Will you speak low to me Speak love to me and soon
Bien, bien, je suis si bien que ma joie deviens complète Près de toi le temps sarrette, dans tes bras je perd la tête Serre moi jusqu'au jour, danse danse danse mon amour Dansons car dans les granges le blé se range C'est le dernier jour des moissons Dansons sur cette terre fertile et fière Qui reverra d'autres sillons Dansons sans plus penser au mal qu'on c'est donné Pour faire levé ce grain qu'on vendra demain Dansons cheveux au vent et si de temps en temps Ton corps serre mon corps juste un peu plus fort
Energy Composer(s): Matja Vlaic - Ura Vlaic - Lucienne Loncina
First performance by: Nua Derenda - 2001
Energy Oh, what you do to me Your rhythm runs right through me You're my destiny My whole life is one big fantasy And yet the closer that I get, you're further away
Energy I feel such energy Electric runs right through me I'm in ecstasy Your caress, the sweetness on your lips But the closer that I get, you're drifting away
With every heartbeat, I'm electrified With just one look Your body moves me, moves me If for one second you'd remember me Then I would break free From these chains that are wrapped around me
Energy I feel such energy Your rhythm runs right through me I'm in ecstasy Your caress, the sweetness on your lips But the closer that I get, you're drifting away
Oh, energy I feel such energy Electric runs right through me You're my destiny, oh... My whole life is one big fantasy, oh... And all I am means nothing till you're here with me

You ride on the swing in and out of the bars Capturing moments of life in a jar Playing with children, acting as stars Guiding your visions to heaven and heaven is in your mind Take extra care not to lose what up feel The apple you're eating is simple and real Water the flowers that grow at you heel guiding your visions to heaven and heaven is in your mind
Haunted River Composer(s): Brian Setzer Performer(s): Brian Setzer
With that he cold New England wind Blowin' through my hair As my blood and whisky run through me as one didn't anybody hear her silent scream didn't anybody see his twisted grin
All the neighbours wept and cried By her shallow grave and her momma prayed the lord her soul to take and her daddy stood alone he swore revenge and the haunted river flowed with blood again
Late one night he crossed The river by himself The waters surged to reach for him through the night And the storm raged on and on on and on and on and on
Everybody wondered what ever happened to The old reverend Brown who preaches Sunday mess and the sea turned calm and blue by the oceans door and the haunted river flowed with blood no more

Just moved in my new house today Movin' was hard but I got squared away Bells started ringin' and chains rattled loud I knew I moved in a haunted house
Still I made up my mind to stay Nothin' was a-gonna drive me away When I seen somthin' that give me the creeps Had one big eye and-a two big feet
I stood right still and I did the freeze He did just stroll right up to me Made a noise with his feet that sound like a drum Said "You be here when the mornin' comes?"
Say yes I'll be here when the mornin' comes I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run I bought this house and you know I'm boss Ain't no haint gonna run me off
In my kitchen my stove was a-blazin' hot Coffee was a-boilin' in the pot The grease had melted in the pan Had a hunk a-meat right in my hand
From outer space there sat a man On the hot stove with the pots and pans "Say that's hot I began to shout" He drank a-hot coffee right from the spout
He ate the raw meat right from my hand Drank the hot grease from the frying pan Looked at me said "You better run" "And don't be here when the mornin' comes"
Say, yes I'll be here when the mornin' comes I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run I bought this house and you know I'm boss Ain't no ain't gonna run me off
