Stormy Horizons Composer(s): Frank Iris - Ira Louvin Performer(s): Jim & Jesse; Donnie "Dobro" Scott
I scarcely hear the wild wind's cry or feel its sudden blast A greater storm just swept my world apart Today you're with someday new my hopes are gone at last There's stormy horizons in my heart
Rain swept and tattered like the rose in the wind Stormy horizons without and within You were all that mattered but you wanted to be free Now stormy horizons wait for me
Of things as fragile and as sweet as roses dreams are made And dreams we had you held so carelessly They fell like petals round my feet I saw my rainbow fade Now stormy horizons wait for me
Y'Avait Donc Pas De Quoi Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Je suis sorti pour aller nulle part Et le plus fort c'est que je suis allé Je n'y ai rencontré personne Alors bien sur il ne m'est rien arrivé C'était un jour sans soleil ni brouillard Je n'étais pas triste et n'étais pas gai Les rues n'étaient pas monotones Et rien n'était particulier
Y'avait donc pas de quoi Pas de quoi En faire une chanson Mais j'avais rien à faire
Alors j'en ai fait une, ai fait une Ai fait une Et ça vaut bien mieux dans le fond Que de faire la guerre
Personne ne m'a offert un pont d'or Je n'ai pas non plus rencontrer l'amour Je ne me sentais pas malade C'était un jour, comme un million d'autres jours Je n'ai pas bu à en être ivre-mort Aucun malheur n'est venu me frapper J'ai fait une simple balade Sans aucune arrière-pensée
Y'avait donc pas de quoi Pas de quoi En faire une chanson Mais j'avais rien à faire Alors j'en ai fait une, ai fait une Ai fait une Et ça vaut bien mieux dans le fond Que de faire la guerre
Sans trop savoir ni pourquoi ni comment Tandis que la nuit remplaçait le jour Mes pieds ont emprunté de même Tout benoîtement le chemin du retour Arrivé chez moi pour trompé le temps Je n'ai rien fait que des ronds de fumée Et comme j'étais sans problème Dans mon lit je me suis coulé
Y'avait donc pas de quoi Pas de quoi En faire une chanson Mais j'avais rien à faire Alors j'en ai fait une, ai fait une Ai fait une Et ça vaut bien mieux dans le fond Que de faire la guerre
My Heart Is Yours Composer(s): Fredrik Kempe - Hanne Margrethe Fredriksen Sørvaag First performance by: Didrik Solli-Tangen - 2010
You are like a sunset behind a mountain somewhere And when I cannot see you, I know you're still there
Because my heart is yours, I'll never leave you Though we are far apart, I'm by your side My love is never gone, I feel it rise again Through it all, now my heart is yours
You say I am the moonlight, I watch you at night And when you cannot see me, I'm still there in the sky
Because my heart is yours, I'll never leave you Though we are far apart, I'm by your side My love is never gone, I feel it rise again Through it all, now my heart is yours
Because my heart is yours, I'll never leave you Though we are far apart, I'm by your side My love is never gone, I feel it rise again Through it all, now my heart is yours
Yann Et Les Dauphins Composer(s): Étienne Roda-Gil; Julien Clerc Performer(s): Julien Clerc
Savez-vous ce que racontent Les dauphins des grandes mers Une histoire de ce monde Mais d'un autre univers Tout près d'un port des Flandres Il y a bien longtemps Yann avait un navire Mais n'avait pas seize ans
{Refrain:} N'est pas pirate qui veut Sur la grande mer du Nord N'est pas heureux qui veut Dans la grande course au trésor
Yann fit son équipage De fuyards encerclés De forbans les plus louches Et de filles damnées Quand ils furent au large Toutes voiles dehors Yann et son équipage Proclamèrent l'Age d'Or
{Refrain}
Sur le pont du navire Toujours il y avait bal On buvait sans être ivre On aimait sans carnaval Vingt vaisseaux de dix empires Coulèrent Yann un soir On entendait claquer des rires Parmi les voiles noires
Avec son équipage Il partit lentement Vers d'autres rivages Chevauchant les grands dauphins blancs C'est l'histoire que racontent Les dauphins à leurs enfants Yann avait un navire Mais n'avait pas seize ans
Algo Pequeñito First performance by: Daniel Diges - 2010
Algo pequeñito, algo chiquitito Una rosa blanca, una caricia, un beso dulce y un perdón Algo pequeñito, algo chiquitito Un gesto tierno, una mirada, un abrazo o una flor
Algo pequeñito, algo chiquitito Un simple te quiero, con dulzura, con cariño y con pasión Es lo que te pido amor, mi vida se derrumba, me partes el corazón Trata pronto de cambiar, el tiempo se termina ahora de verdad
Algo pequeñito Algo chiquitito Cosas simples que ahora no me das Que te pido con locura si no quieres terminar
Algo pequeñito Algo chiquitito En tus manos tienes la ocasión Hoy decides si quererme o romperme el corazón
Algo pequeñito, algo muy bonito Tu pelo al viento que se enreda entre mis manos al calor Has sabido comprender que las pequeñas cosas son las que hacen esto arder Ahora trata de cambiar que el resto de las cosas ya se arreglarán
Algo pequeñito Algo chiquitito Cosas simples que ahora si me das Que te quiero con locura y siempre yo te voy a amar
Algo pequeñito Algo chiquitito En tus manos tienes la ocasión Decidiste tú quererme y no romperme el corazón Y no romperme el corazón
Algo pequeñito Algo chiquitito Cosas simples que ahora no me das Que te pido con locura si no quieres terminar
Algo pequeñito Algo chiquitito En tus manos tienes la ocasión Hoy decides si quererme o romperme el corazón
Farewell and adieu to you Spanish ladies Farewell and adieu to you ladies of Spain For we've received orders to sail from New England And we hope in a short time to see you again
Chorus: We'll rant and we'll roar like true Yankee Whalermen We'll rant and we'll roar on deck and below Until we sight Gayhead off old Martha's Vineyard And straight up the channel to New Bedford we'll go
We hove our our ship to with the wind from the sou'west, boys We hove our our ship to deep soundings to take 'Twas 45 fathoms with light sandy bottom We squared our main yard and up channel did make
Chorus
I went to a dance one night in Tombaz There were plenty of girls there as fine as you wish There was one pretty maiden a chewin' tobacco Just like a young kitten a chewin' fresh fish
Chorus
Then the signal was sent for the grand ship to anchor And all in the downs that night for to lie Let go your shank painter, let go your cat stopper Haul up your clew garnets, let tacks and sheets fly
Chorus
----------
Alternative Version: Spanish Ladies (aka Farewell And Adieu To You) (Traditional English Shanty)
Farewell and adieu to you fine Spanish ladies Farwell and adieu all you ladies of Spain For we've received orders to sail for old England And perhaps we shall never more see you again
Chorus: We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors We'll range and we'll roam over all the salt seas Until we strike soundings in the Channel of old England From Ushant to Scilly 'tis thirty-five leagues
Then we hove our ship to, with the wind at sou'-west, my boys Then we hove our ship to, for to strike soundings clear Then we filled the main topsail and bore right away, my boys And straight up the Channel of old England did steer
Chorus
So the first land we made it is called the Deadman Next Ram Head off Plymouth, Start, Portland and the Wight We sailed hy Beachy, by Fairly and Dungeness And then bore away for the South Foreland light
Chorus
Now the signal it was made for the Grand Fleet to anchor All on the Downs that night for to meet Then stand by your stoppers, see clear your shank-painters Haul all your clew garnets, stick out tacks and sheets
Chorus
Now let every man drink up his full bottle Let every man drink up his full bowl For we will be jolly and drown melancholy With a health to each jovial and true-hearted soul

Storm In A Teacup (French Version: Dans La Vie Tout S'arrange - 1976) Composer(s): Lynsey De Paul - Ronald Ernest Alfred Roker First release by: The Fortunes - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists
Pitter, patter, pitter, patter
One drop of rain on your window pane Doesn't mean to say there's a thunderstorm coming The rain may fall For an hour or more But it doesn't matter No, it doesn't matter
One gentle breeze blowing softly through the trees Doesn't mean to say there's a hurricane humming So don't start running Every time you hear it coming Cuz it doesn't matter You know it doesn't matter
One little word that you may have overheard Doesn't mean to say that my love for you is dying So don't start crying over second-hand lying Cuz it doesn't matter No, it doesn't matter
It's a storm in a teacup Brewing up double All those tiny little troubles It's a storm in a teacup It really doesn't matter If it pitter, pitter, patters all the day

Y'All Come Back Saloon Composer(s): Sharon Vaughn Performer(s): The Oakridge Boys
She played tambourine with a silver jingle and she must have known the word to at least a million tunes but the one most requested by the man she knew as cowboy was the late night benediction at the y'all come back saloon
In a voice soft and trembling she'd sing her song to cowboy as a smokey halo circled round her raven hair And all the fallen angels and pinball playing rounders stopped the games that they'd been playing for the losers evening prayer
Faded love and faded memories how they linger in her mind miles and years played the cowboy like and old melody out of tune and out of time
Every night in the shadows thinking back on Amarillo he'd dream of better days and ask for faded love lifting high his glass in honor of the lady and her song he paid his check then lonely walked the broken cowboy home
Faded love and faded memories how they linger in her mind miles and years played the cowboy like and old melody out of tune and out of time
Faded love and faded memories how they linger in her mind miles and years played the cowboy like and old melody out of tune and out of time
