Ne plus écrire enfin attendre le signal Celui qui sonnera doublé de mille octaves Quand passeront au vert les morales suaves Quand le Bien peignera la crinière du Mal
Quand les bêtes sauront qu'on les met dans des plats Quand les femmes mettront leur sang à la fenêtre Et hissant leur calice à hauteur de leur maître Quand elles diront: "Bois en mémoire de moi"
Quand les oiseaux septembre iront chasser les cons Quand les mecs cravatés respireront quand même Et qu'il se chantera dedans les hachélèmes La messe du granit sur un autel béton
Quand les voteurs votant se mettront tous d'accord Sur une idée sur rien pour que l'horreur se taise Même si pour la rime on sort la Marseillaise Avec un foulard rouge et des gants de chez Dior
Alors nous irons réveiller Allende Allende Allende Allende
Quand il y aura des mots plus forts que les canons Ceux qui tonnent déjà dans nos mémoires brèves Quand les tyrans tireurs tireront sur nos rêves Parce que de nos rêves lèvera la moisson
Quand les tueurs gagés crèveront dans la soie Qu'ils soient Président ci ou Général de ça Quand les voix socialistes chanteront leur partie En mesure et partant vers d'autres galaxies
Quand les amants cassés se casseront vraiment Vers l'ailleurs d'autre part enfin et puis comment Quand la fureur de vivre aura battu son temps Quand l'hiver de travers se croira au printemps
Quand de ce Capital qu'on prend toujours pour Marx On ne parlera plus que pour l'honneur du titre Quand le Pape prendra ses évêques à la mitre En leur disant: "Porno latin ou non je taxe"
Quand la rumeur du temps cessera pour de bon Quand le bleu relatif de la mer pâlira Quand le temps relatif aussi s'évadera De cette équation triste où le tiennent des cons Qu'ils soient mathématiques avec Nobel ou non C'est alors c'est alors que nous réveillerons
Alléluia Composer(s): Jean Ferrat Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Ils ont déjà mis leur costume Et leurs plus beaux souliers cirés Quand selon les us et coutumes Les cloches se mettent à sonner Chacun procède à sa manière Pour faire son vin ou ses enfants Mais c'est une toute autre affaire De réussir un enterrement
Alléluia alléluia alléluia alléluia
Il faut savoir devant l'église Battre en retraite prudemment En direction de Marie-Louise Qui vous démarre au petit blanc Voilà Pierrot et l'oncle Eugène La casquette comme étendard Le petit blanc devient douzaine Avec Léon Jules et Gaspard
Alléluia alléluia alléluia alléluia
Pour peu que le De Profundis Arrive un quart d'heure en retard On est au huitième pastis A la sortie du corbillard Et sur la route cahoteuse Comme il n'est pas loin de midi On se sent bientôt la dent creuse La mort vous met en appétit
Alléluia alléluia alléluia alléluia
Les saucissons fondent à vue d'oeil Les langues claquent avec entrain Souviens-toi du bois du cercueil Du frère de la tante au cousin Souviens toi des temps mémorables Qu'on n'a jamais pu égaler Où l'on resta trois jours à table A cause de trois macchabées
Alléluia alléluia alléluia alléluia
Mais dans ce monde de misère Le bonheur est vite enterré Il faut regagner sa chaumière Retrouver sa femme atterrée En voyant l'état du costume Et du bonhomme et des souliers A la maison comme de coutume Les cloches se mettent à voler
Winds Of The Old Days Composer(s): Joan Baez Performer(s): Joan Baez
The lady's adrift in a foreign land Singing on issues both humble and grand A decade flew past her and there on the page She read that the prince had returned to the stage Hovering near treacherous waters A friend saw her drifting and caught her Unguarded fantasies flying too far Memories tumbling like sweets from a jar
And take me down to the harbor now Grapes of the summer are low on the bough Ghosts of my history will follow me there And the winds of the old days will blow through my hair
Breath on an undying ember It doesn't take much to remember Those eloquent songs from the good old days That set us to marching with banners ablaze But reporters, there's no sense in prying Our blue-eyed son's been denying The truths that are wrapped in a mystery The sixties are over so set him free
And take me down to the harbor now Grapes of the summer are low on the bough Ghosts of my history will follow me there And the winds of the old days will blow through my hair
Why do I sit the autumnal judge Years of self-righteousness will not budge Singer or savior, it was his to choose Which of us knows what was his to lose Because idols are best when they're made of stone A savior's a nuisance to live with at home Stars often fall, heroes go unsung And martyrs most certainly die too young
So thank you for writing the best songs Thank you for righting a few wrongs You're a savage gift on a wayward bus But you stepped down and you sang to us
And get you down to the harbor now Most of the sour grapes are gone from the bough Ghosts of Johanna will visit you there And the winds of the old days will blow through your hair
La jeunesse est turbulente Insolente Mais souvenez-vous Vous les gens devenus sages Qu'à votre âge Vous étiez comme nous Tout comme nous pressés de vivre Et de suivre Le chemin de vos joies Alors pourquoi jeter la pierre Laissez faire Tout ça se calmera
Alléluia! Alléluia! Nos vingt ans N'ont qu'un temps Laissons-les brûler Alléluia ! Alléluia ! Le ciel donne Ce qu'il nous donne Pour en profiter
Nous avons l'âge où l'on crève Pour des rêves Peut-être insensés L'âge ou l'on refait le monde Que l'on fonde Sur de vagues idées On se voudrait invulnérable Intraitable Toujours le plus fort Faisant tout avec frénésie Notre vie Devient un corps à corps
Alléluia! Alléluia! Nos vingt ans N'ont qu'un temps Laissons-les brûler Alléluia! Alléluia! Le ciel donne Ce qu'il nous donne Pour en profiter
Le passé qui règne encore On l'ignore Pour vivre au futur On se forge des idoles Et l'on colle Leurs photos sur nos murs C'est pour se prouver qu'on existe Qu'on résiste Aux lois établies Et pour que l'on s'extériorise On se grise De vitesse et de bruit
Alléluia! Alléluia! Nos vingt ans N'ont qu'un temps Laissons-les brûler Alléluia! Alléluia! Le ciel donne Ce qu'il nous donne Pour en profiter
Et nos passions sont de même Quand on aime Tout est bouleversé Nos sentiments nous dépassent Et l'on passe Notre temps à rêver La vie prend une autre tournure On murmure Des mots simples et doux Car au fond on est romantique Ça explique Que l'on soit un peu fou
Alléluia! Alléluia! Nos vingt ans N'ont qu'un temps Laissons-les brûler Alléluia! Alléluia! Le ciel donne Ce qu'il nous donne Pour en profiter
Winds Of Change Composer(s): Vic Briggs; Eric Burdon; Barry Jenkins; Danny McCulloch; John Weider Performer(s): Eric Burdon & The Animals
There are winds of changes blowing Gathering leaves up in its path And the people who are the leaves Will remain in our hearts With love, till eternity
King Elmore was born So was Duke Ellington Jelly Roll made love Bessie Smith was created in heaven above Robert Johnson sang the blues Shick Webb did those things that only he could do Charlie Christian started a new thing And, oh my, how Billie Holiday could sing Alan Freed rock and rolled, Joe Turner's voice was very low B.B. King wailed Charlie Parker cried Louis Jordan smiled Ray Charles moaned Chuck Berry rock and rolled Fats Domino made me feel good Elvis Presley did things that no one thought he could
Then came the Beatles, Rolling Stones Whole new thing was going on Frank Zappa zapped Mamas and Papas knew where it was at They all listened to Ravi Shankar Now that we got Jimi Hendrix We know where we are (and Louis Jordan smiled ) And the winds of change go on blowing, blowing Gathering more and more leaves in its path As time goes past
Winds of change keep on blowing Winds of change keep on blowing Bob Dylan sang about the winds of change Blowing, it's all blowing, the winds of change
One early Christmas Eve, before Santa came A mouse snuck out of his little hole and licked a candy cane Before he could escape, he heard the sound of little hooves It was Santa's little reindeer, prancing on the roof
Down the chimney Santa came and stood before the mouse And asked him if he was the owner of the house The mouse was very pleased and held himself up tall Said, "I am the little mouse, who lives inside the wall"
And I scurry "round by night, looking for a bite A little scrap of food, to take home to my wife Who lives with me inside the wall, with my children all Oh, I am the little mouse, who lives inside the wall
Well, Santa laughed so hard, a tear fell from his eye To see a mouse so proud, and not the least bit shy He said I can't recall, meeting one so brave and small As the little mouse, who lives inside the wall
Santa wiped a joyful tear from his twinkling eye Then Santa asked the mouse, with what he could supply A fire truck, a tricycle, or a big red ball Anything at all for the mouse inside the wall
Oh, it would be so nice, if I could have a slice A little piece of pie, to take home to my wife Who lives with me inside the wall, with my children all Said the little mouse, who lives inside the wall
Santa reached inside his pack, brought out a pie so small That it would even fit, within the mouse's tiny paw And every time you took a bite, it came back to it's all And gave it to the little mouse, who lives inside the wall
Then Santa quickly filled the stockings hanging in a row And with a merry Christmas, up the chimney he did go The mouse then sang a song, as he ran off down the hall Sang, I am the little mouse, who lives inside the wall
And I scurry 'round by night, looking for a bite A little scrap of food, to take home to my wife Who lives with me inside the wall, with my children all Oh, I am the little mouse, who lives inside the wall Oh, I am the little mouse, who lives inside the wall
Windows Composer(s): Kerry Livgren Performer(s): Kansas
Windows, to the world are what we're looking through Who knows, if what we find is true Seeing, is believing as some people say Knowing, is to get a better view
(Chorus) For the windows of the world Are never open all the way And the voices of the past Are not forgotten Till you leave it all behind you You will never see the day 'Cause your life is on the line
Tasting, of the wine of some forbidden fruit Reaping, the sorrows that we sow Reaching, to the stars will never bring us home Teaching, what we really could not know
(Chorus)
Touching, we are moving to the things we feel Trying, to be what we could never be Turning, if we'd only open up our hearts Yearning, for the things we cannot see
Er drang mir in die Seele, weiß Gott, wie er mich traf der Spott der guten Kinder, ich war das schwarze Schaf im Pausenhof, die Tränen niederkämpfend, stand ich stumm der Inhalt meines Ranzens lag verstreut um mich herum wie wünscht' ich mir beim Aufsammeln eine helfende Hand ein Lächeln, einen Trost, und da war keiner, der sich fand und ich hatte keinen Freund, und schlechte Noten, ist ja wahr und unmoderne Kleider und widerspenstiges Haar
Allein - wir sind allein wir kommen und wir gehen ganz allein wir mögen noch so sehr geliebt, von Zuneigung umgeben sein die Kreuzwege des Lebens gehen wir immer ganz allein Allein - wir sind allein wir kommen und wir gehen ganz allein
Wir waren uns alle einig in dem großen Saal wir hatten große Pläne und ein großes Ideal ich war der Frechste und der Lauteste und hatte Schneid ich wusste unsere Stärke war unsere Geschlossenheit doch mancher, der von großer gemeinsamer Sache sprach ging dabei doch nur seiner kleinen eigenen Sache nach und als ein Held sich nach dem anderen auf die Seite schlich stand einer nur im Regen, und der eine, der war ich
Und noch ein Glas Champagner und sie drückten mir die Hand und alle waren freundlich zu mir, alle waren charmant und mancher hat mir auf die Schulter geklopft, doch mir scheint es hat wohl mancher eher sich als mich damit gemeint die Worte wurden lauter und sie gaben keinen Sinn das Gedränge immer enger und ich stand mitten drin und fühlte mich gefangen wie ein Insekt im Sand je mehr es krabbelt desto weiter rückt der Kraterrand
Nun, ein Teil meines Lebens liegt hinter mir im Licht von Liebe überflutet und gesäumt von Zuversicht in Höhen und in Tiefen auf manchem verschlungenen Pfad fand ich gute Gefährten und fand ich guten Rat doch je teurer der Gefährte, desto bitterer der Schluss dass ich den letzten Schritt des Wegs alleine gehen muss wie sehr wir uns auch aneinander klammern, uns bleibt nur die gleiche leere Bank auf einem kalten leeren Flur

Allegheny Composer(s): Chris Gantry Performer(s): Johnny Cash
How she got that junk car runnin' guess I'll never know It never ran but once and set to winters in the snow Well imagine runnin' out on me when I lay sound asleep Allegheny Well my big mistake was thinkin' she was something I could keep She stole my winter's food supply and something else I fear My savin's in the mattress have strangely disappeared Now those who know me best knows he who robs me best beware Allegheny I'm gonna call up the dogs and hunt you down drag you back here by the hair
Oh Allegheny something tells me you're dis-satisfied Well could it be because I've been your mail-order bride There's a half of you that's French yeah and I need to crave a better style And a half of you is Cherokee yeah and I've gone wild Allegheny
She's got a head start on me as a crow flies half a day And unless I miss my guess she'll stop to rest in Monterey But if I take the Knoxville Highway thirteen hours it will be Allegheny Well she forgot I knew the shortcut I'll be there in less than three
Oh Allegheny something tells me...
I signaled for my dogs to wait outside the hotel door I described her to the desk clerk he said try the second floor And then he mentioned she's got company And that marks the stranget's doom Allegheny I wish I was her so I could see my face when I bust into the room
Oh Allegheny something tells me... Allegheny Allegheny come back here Allegheny Allegheny
Windekind Composer(s): A. Muhren; P. Els Performer(s): Ann Christy
Al lijken al je dagen Zo vreselijk monotoon Al gaat je droom vervagen En voel je je lui en loom Toch schijn je te herleven Bij het horen van de wind Als een blad dat plots gaar zweven In bekoring voor z'n lied
Windekind, windekind Welk geheim schuilt er in z'n lied Windekind, windekind Fluistert hij zacht een liefdeslied Al bekoord hij je met z'n verhalen Die je hartje eentonigheid huilen
Al vind je heel de wereld Zo hopeloos dekadent En al lijken alle mensen Je lichtzinnig en zo verwend Toch vind je troost en vrede In de woorden van de wind Al je zorgen en problemen Gaan verloren in z'n lied
Windekind, windekind Welk geheim schuilt er in z'n lied Windekind, windekind Fluistert hij zacht een liefdeslied Al bekoord hij je met z'n verhalen Die je hartje eentonigheid huilen
Windekind, windekind Welk geheim schuilt er in z'n lied Windekind, windekind Fluistert hij zacht een liefdeslied
Windekind, windekind Fluistert hij zacht een liefdeslied
Alle Prese Con Una Verde Milonga Composer(s): Paolo Conte Performer(s): Paolo Conte
Alle prese con una verde milonga il musicista si diverte e si estenua... E mi avrai verde milonga che sei stata scritta per me per la mia sensibilità per le mie scarpe lucidate per il mio tempo per il mio gusto per tutta la mia stanchezza e la mia mia guittezza Mi avrai verde milonga inquieta che mi strappi un sorriso di tregua ad ogni accordo mentre mentre fai dannare le mie dita... Io sono qui sono venuto a suonare sono venuto ad amare e di nascosto a danzare... e ammesso che la milonga fosse una canzone ebbene io, io l'ho svegliata e l'ho guidata a un ritmo più lento così la milonga rivelava di se molto più molto più di quanto apparisse la sua origine d'Africa la sua eleganza di zebra, il suo essere di frontiera una verde frontiera ... una verde frontiera tra il suonare e l'amare verde spettacolo in corsa da inseguire... da inseguire sempre, da inseguire ancora fino ai laghi bianchi del silenzio fin che Athaualpa o qualche altro Dio non ti dica descansate niño che continuo io... ah ...io sono qui sono venuto a suonare, sono venuto a danzare e di nascosto ad amare ...
Wind Of Change Composer(s): Klaus Meine Performer(s): Scorpions
I follow the Moskva down to Gorky Park Listening to the wind of change An August summer night soldiers passing by Listening to the wind of change
The world is closing in and did you ever think That we could be so close like brothers The future's in the air I can feel it everywhere Blowing with the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night Where the children of tomorrow dream away In the wind of change
Walking down the street distant memories Are buried in the past forever I follow the Moskva down to Gorky Park Listening to the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their dreams) With you and me (with you and me) Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night Where the children of tomorrow dream away In the wind of change (wind of change)
The wind of change blows straight into the face of time Like a storm wind that will ring the freedom bell For peace of mind let your balalaika sing What my guitar wants to say
Take me (take me) to the magic of the moment On a glory night (glory night) Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their dreams) With you and me (with you and me) Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night (glory night) Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away) In the wind of change (wind of change)
Wind Of Change Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Robin Gibb Performer(s): Bee Gees
In the streets of New York City ev'ry man can feel the cold And I don't want no pity but I want my story told
When the lights shine down on me they shine on the little boy Is this way to make him pay be'ng born in a world of joy
But like me he don't know where he'll go wrong he won't cry so many tears till he finds out why he don't belong like me
there's no room for us out there you can lose your hope and pride When it comes to broken dreams you'll get your share Sometime a man breaks down and the good thing he is looking for are crushed into the ground
Get on up, look around can't you feel the wind of change? Get on up, taste the air can't you see the wind of change
Don't you understand what I'm sayin' we need a god down there A man to lead us children take us from the valley of fear
Make the lights shine down on us show us the road to go Help us survive, make us arrive teach us what we need to know
But like me he don't know where he'll go wrong he won't cry so many tears till he finds out why he don't belong like me
there's no room for us out there you can lose your hope and pride When it comes to broken dreams you'll get your share Sometime a man breaks down and the good thing he is looking for are crushed into the ground
Get on up, look around can't you feel the wind of change? Get on up, taste the air can't you see the wind of change
Wind Beneath My Wings Composer(s): Larry Henley; Jeff Silbar Performer(s): Bette Midler; and various other artists
It must have been cold there in my shadow To never have sunlight on your face You were content to let me shine, that's your way You always walked a step behind So I was the one with all the glory While you were the one with all the strength A beautiful face without a name, for so long A beautiful smile to hide the pain
Did you ever know that you're my hero And everything I would like to be If I can fly higher than an eagle You are the wind beneath my wings It might have appeared to go unnoticed but I've got it all here in my heart I want you to know I know the truth Of course I know it I would be nothing with out you
Fly, fly, fly away You let me fly so high Oh, fly, fly So high against the sky So high I almost touch the sky Thank you, thank you, thank God for you The wind beneath my wings
