Destination Terre
Composer(s): Claude Moine - Pierre Papadiamandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell; Los Angeles
Le bris de glace d'un coup de cristal est crispant
Mais demeure élégant
Le cri du bar qui ferme est déchirant
Tout comme un son "dolby surround"
Quelle que soit la ville, le lieu, l'endroit ou l'heure
Y a toujours l'instant où y' a un blues qui pleure
Pourquoi les gens qui s'aiment aiment s'faire du mal
Même à titre expérimental?
Les larmes sont peut-être plus salées
Dans les yeux des amours blessés
Ah quelque soit la nuit, le p'tit jour est là à l'heure
Les brèves de comptoir s'terminent sur des rancurs
... Faut décoller
Destination Terre
Faut r'tomber
Mais sans planer
Et surtout réapprendre à s'aimer
Destination Terre
Essayer
De r'trouver
Just' un zest, un semblant de dignité
Affronter l'temps réel
Cett' planète, Destination Terre
Pourquoi les gens sensibles sont souvent
Considérés comm' des mutants?
Ils ressent' trop d'courants, de sentiments
Là où les autres ne font semblant
Quelles que soient leurs vies, le meilleur est ailleurs
Ce monde impossible n'existe que dans leurs curs
... Faut pas rêver
Destination Terre
Faut r'tomber
Mais sans planer
Et surtout réapprendre à s'aimer
Destination Terre
Essayer
De r'trouver
Just' un zest, un semblant de dignité
Affronter l'temps réel
Cett' planète, Destination Terre
Apesar De Você Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Chico Buarque
Hoje você é quem manda Falou, tá falado Não tem discussão A minha gente hoje anda Falando de lado E olhando pro chão, viu Você que inventou de inventar Toda a escuridão Você que inventou o pecado Esqueceu-se de inventar O perdão
Apesar de você Amanhã há de ser Outro dia Eu pergunto a você Onde vai se esconder Da enorme euforia Como vai proibir Quando o galo insistir Em cantar Água nova brotando E a gente se amando Sem parar
Quando chegar o momento Esse meu sofrimento Vou cobrar com ljuros, juro Todo esse amor reprimido Esse grito contido Este samba no escuro Você que inventou a tristeza Ora, tenha fineza De desinventar Você vai pagar e é dobrado Cada lágrima rolada Nesse meu penar
Apesar de você Amanhã há de ser Outro dia Inda pago pra ver O jardim florescer Qual você não queria Você vai se amargar Vendo o dia raiar Sem lhe pedir licença E eu vou morrer de rir Que esse dia há de vir Antes do que você pensa
Apesar de você Amanhã há de ser Outro dia Você vai ter que ver A manhã renascer E esbanjar poesia Como vai se explicar Vendo o céu clarear De repente, impunemente Como vai abafar Nosso coro a cantar Na sua frente
Apesar de você Amanhã há de ser Outro dia Você vai se dar mal Etc. e tal

Come and take a trip in my rocket ship We'll have a lovely afternoon Kiss the world goodbye and away we fly Destination moon
Travel fast as light 'til we're lost from sight The earth is like a toy balloon What a thrill you get ridin' on a jet Destination moon
We'll go up, up, up, up, straight to the moon, we two High in the starry blue, I'll be out of this world with you So away we steal in a space mobile A supersonic honeymoon
Leave your cares below, pull the switch, let's go! Destination moon Into the milky way we'll wander while we watch the folks down yonder Oh, we're gonna have a lovely afternoon
Up on the highest constellation we'll look out across the nation 'Cause the earth is like a tiny toy balloon
So away we steal in a space mobile A supersonic honeymoon Leave your cares below, pull the switch, let's go! Destination moon

I think I'm sophisticated 'cos I'm living my life like a good homosapien But all around me everybody's multiplying Till they're walking round like flies man So I'm no better than the animals sitting in their cages In the zoo man 'cos compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees I am an apeman I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized 'cos I'm a strict vegetarian But with the over-population and inflation and starvation And the crazy politicians I don't feel safe in this world no more I don't want to die in a nuclear war I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an apeman I'm an apeman, I'm an ape apeman I'm an apeman I'm a king kong man I'm ape apeman I'm an apeman 'cos compared to the sun that sits in the sky Compared to the clouds as they roll by Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies I am an apeman In man's evolution he has created the cities and The motor traffic rumble, but give me half a chance And I'd be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle 'cos the only time that I feel at ease Is swinging up and down in a coconut tree Oh what a life of luxury to be like an apeman I'm an ape, I'm an ape apeman, I'm an apeman I'm a king kong man, I'm a voo-doo man I'm an apeman I look out my window, but I can't see the sky 'cos the air pollution is fogging up my eyes I want to get out of this city alive And make like an apeman Come and love me, be my apeman girl And we will be so happy in my apeman world I'm an apeman, I'm an ape apeman, I'm an apeman I'm a king kong man, I'm a voo-doo man I'm an apeman I'll be your tarzan, you'll be my jane I'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane And we'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day Just like an apeman I'm an apeman, I'm an ape apeman, I'm an apeman I'm a king kong man, I'm a voo-doo man I'm an apeman I don't feel safe in this world no more I don't want to die in a nuclear war I want to sail away to a distant shore And make like an apeman
Destination Love
Composer(s): Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller
Performer(s): Wynonie Harris
and multiple other artists
Quart of oil, a gallon of gas Baby, I sure do hope it'll last Destination love, destination love If I get stuck give me a shove Destination love I can't wait to see her smile Only got about ten more miles Destination love, destination love If I get stuck give me a shove Destination love Well, I passed a truck, passed a bus I must be doing fine I'm so close I can almost feel Her sweet lips on mine If the front tire blows, I got a spare If that one goes, I'll still get there Destination love, destination love If I get stuck give me a shove Destination love
Well, I crossed the bridge, climbed the hill It only steamed up twice If this old car goes one more mile I'll be in paradise She'll be waiting there, I know Left turn, right turn, here I go Destination love, destination love If I get stuck give me a shove Destination love
Ich Zähle Täglich Meine Sorgen (English Version: Heartaches By The Number (by Ray Price) - 1959)) Composer(s): Harlan Howard - Jean Nicolas Performer(s): Peter Alexander
Ich zähle täglich meine Sorgen, denn ich sorg mich sehr Wenn ich denk du liebst mich nicht, lieb ich dich umso mehr Ich zähle täglich meine Sorgen, und lieb dich wie zuvor Wenn ich nicht mehr zähle, weiss ich, dass ich dich verlor
Sorge Nummer eins in meinem Leben das ist die Sorge, dass du von mir gehst Und Sorge Nummer zwei ist, dass es bald 'nen andren gibt den besser du verstehst und der dich liebt
Ich zähle täglich meine Sorgen, denn ich sorg mich sehr Wenn ich denk du liebst mich nicht, lieb ich dich umso mehr Ich zähle täglich meine Sorgen, und lieb dich wie zuvor Wenn ich nicht mehr zähle, weiss ich, dass ich dich verlor
Sorge Nummer drei, das ist die Frage Wie halt ich dich und wie gefall ich dir Und wenn du wirklich bleibst ja, was erwartest du von mir Ja, das ist meine Sorge Nummer vier
Ich zähle täglich meine Sorgen, denn ich sorg mich sehr Wenn ich denk du liebst mich nicht, lieb ich dich umso mehr Ich zähle täglich meine Sorgen, und lieb dich wie zuvor Wenn ich nicht mehr zähle, weiss ich, dass ich dich verlor
Destination Inconnue
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Pierre Roche
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Un jour de mai ou l'ennui me pesait Pour vivre ma vie laissant ce qui m'oppresse J'ai tout quitter sans chagrin ni regret Puisque les voyages forment la jeunesse Aux gens curieux j'ai répondu "Destination inconnue"
J'ai pris le premier train Qui partait le matin Par hasard dans le train Y'avait une file très bien Comme le destin veille sur moi gentiment Elle était justement dans mon compartiment Le train en roulant faisait un vacarme infernal Sur la banquette en bois on était plutôt mal Et quand j'ai pris sa main, parlant avec douceur Plus vite que le train allaient mes battements de coeur D'un ton charmant un peu moqueur En un instant j'ai pris son coeur Puis proposai fort galamment: "Venez avec moi au wagon-restaurant" Sous le premier tunnel très fort je l'ai serrée Sous le second tunnel un baiser fut volé Puis nous sommes descendus dans une gare inconnue Pour cacher notre amour dans un petit coin perdu
Chose bizarre Un matin par hasard Elle dû se lever du mauvais pied Elle m'a dit: "pars!" Moi d'un seul Coup d'un seul J'ai bondi du lit, je me suis habillé J'ai tout quitté, J'ai tout perdu Destination inconnue
J'ai pris le premier train qui partait le matin J'avais envie de pleurer je ne me sentais pas bien Comme le destin veille sur moi gentiment Elle était face à moi dans mon compartiment Le train en roulant faisait un vacarme infernal Sur la banquette en bois on était plutôt mal Et quand elle prit ma main pour se faire pardonner Tout contre mon épaule elle s'est appuyée J'étais si bien, je ne disais rien Intéressé me laissant griser Je l'écoutais Et je goûtais Les mots très doux que tout bas elle disait Sous le premier tunnel très fort je l'ai serrée Sous le second tunnel un baiser fut volé Puis nous sommes descendus dans une gare inconnue Pour cacher notre amour dans un petit coin perdu
Depuis ce jour nous ne nous sommes jamais quittés Elle devint si gentille qu'elle a su me garder
Después Que Canta El Hombre Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Después que canta, el hombre queda solo solo en la soledad de su cabeza solo en la soledad de las butacas y una mortaja de aire hace silencio Sabe que ahora, de pronto, se hace luego aunque después que cante quede ciego
Se mira entonces la guitarra y se le guiña un ojo Qué no sabrá del abandono la guitarra
Después que canta el hombre queda solo pues cada uno regresa a sus pisadas Le dejan las palabras en la alfombra La hora de la palabra fue la escena Sabe que ahora, de pronto, se hace luego aunque después que cante quede ciego
Se mira entonces la guitarra y se le guiña un ojo Qué no sabrá del abandono la guitarra
Después que canta, el hombre queda solo sobreviviendo a igual incertidumbre Pero de nuevo ordena sus conciertos como un ágel postizo que insistiese Sabe que ahora, de pronto, se hace luego aunque después que cante quede ciego
Se mira entonces la guitarra y se le guiña un ojo Qué no sabrá del abandono la guitarra
Después De Las Rupturas Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Después de las rupturas iniciada la tibia mansedumbre que sobrevive brasas primeras del atardecer premonitorio en el hervor de las memorias Ahora en horas de escasos segundos empiezan las piedras a ser mortales y el viento, como insultos cansados debilita el paisaje
Después de las rupturas exánimes, se rompen ellas mismas una a una
I'm not trying to teach you how to live But I've got something, I guess you'll like to know Now listen
Try a little love It's what mama used to say Son try a little love And things will go your way Try a little love In everything you do Try a little love 'Cause love will do
Papa used to say The same came to me Son try a little love Listen and you will see Try a little love In everything you do Try a little love 'Cause love will do
Try a little love Try a little love Try a little love 'Cause love will do
Después de hacerte el amor sólo puedo escribir una bella canción que me hable de ti Que me hable de ti que hable de los dos Después de hacerte el amor sólo me queda escribir
Después de hacerte el amor casi puedo alcanzar el vuelo de un gorrión y un silencio otoñal Después de hacerte el amor sólo me queda la paz y el deseo de vivir en un beso que se va
Después de amarte sólo queda una canción y un deseo interminable que se duerme entre los dos como un niño allá en el fondo que nos pide más amor Después de amarte Nace el sol
Después de hacerte el amor no queda nada más que esa vieja ilusión de amar por amar y un cigarro entre dos compartido al final Después de hacerte el amor sólo puedo callar Y después de amarte hay un tiempo que pasó Que viajaba entre los dos como un niño allá en el fondo que nos pide más amor Después de amarte nace el sol
Después De Amarnos Composer(s): Antonio Valdéz Herrera Performer(s): Javier Solís
Qué fue lo que pasó con el cariño que nos prometimos tan poco así duró que aquél amor se convirtió en suspiro No fuiste tú ni culpa tuve yo de separarnos de decirnos adiós después de amarnos
Tal vez ni tú ni yo comprenderemos nunca qué fue lo que pasó con nuestras ilusiones Seguiremos pensando no volver a encontrarnos y el porqué de ese adiós después de amarnos
Tal vez ni tú ni yo comprenderemos nunca qué fue lo que pasó con nuestras ilusiones Seguiremos pensando no volver a encontrarnos y el porqué de ese adiós después de amarnos y el porqué de ese adiós después de amarnos
Aon Focal Eile Composer(s): Richie Kavanagh Performer(s): Richie Kavanagh; Celtic Harvest
When I was just a lad I used to go to school I'd sit down there in the seat, feeling like a fool The teacher taught us everything, everything we know She had a great big lump of a stick that was bent into a bow
She'd go "Aon focal dar, focal two, focal eile And I not knowing no focal at all She'd go "Aon focal dar, focal two, focal eile And I not knowing no focal at all
She taught how to say all our A.B.C. She showed us how to make little men out of plasticine She taught us how to say our prayers, she taught us right from wrong The only thing about it, we didn't go to school too long
She'd go "Aon focal dar, focal two, focal eile And I not knowing no focal at all She'd go "Aon focal dar, focal two, focal eile And I not knowing no focal at all
She taught us about the history, the Battle of the Boyne And how to play a game with the chestnut and the twine She says "Open up your catechism, learn all that information If you don't get it in your big thick head, you won't get your conformation
She'd go "Aon focal dar, focal two, focal eile And I not knowing no focal at all She'd go "Aon focal dar, focal two, focal eile And I not knowing no focal at all
Well, the days we spent going to school, were the best years of our life Tho' at the time we thought they were full of trouble and strife Now when I'm home on holiday, I'd pass the old school gate I think of the time I spent in there, them times were surely great
She'd go "Aon focal dar, focal two, focal eile And I not knowing no focal at all She'd go "Aon focal dar, focal two, focal eile And I not knowing no focal at all

Dicen que soy despreciado pero no le aunque
Me voy a llorar al destino de los olvidados donde se pierden los seres más desgraciados tú no supiste quererme por eso voy a perderme adiós del mundo ilusiones adiós crueles corazones nací despreciado Dios sabe por qué
Despreciado me voy despreciado vilmente por ti cuando quieras volver no hallarás un recuerdo de mí
Dios ha de mandar tu castigo para mi venganza para que ruedes perdida sin esperanza después te mande la muerte para que vengas a verme y pagues bien tu pecado y borrando tu pasado nos junte pa' siempre pa' siempre mujer
Despreciado me voy despreciado vilmente por ti cuando quieras volver no hallarás un recuerdo de mí
Mijn Stil Verdriet Composer(s): Pierre Kartner Performer(s): Corry en de Rekels
Mijn stil verdriet, dat weet een ander niet Mijn stil verdriet, omdat hij mij verliet Waar ik ook ben, ik hoor nog vaak z'n stem In al m'n dromen, denk ik nog aan hem
We waren gelukkig, toch wilde je meer dan mij alleen Ik voel me zo eenzaam en heb toch zo'n pijn zonder jou om me heen Toch hoop ik dat jij zonder mij toch gelukkig zal zijn met haar Al zie ik nog steeds in m'n dromen ons vaak bij elkaar
We waren gelukkig, toch wilde je meer dan mij alleen Ik voel me zo eenzaam en heb toch zo'n pijn zonder jou om me heen Toch hoop ik dat jij zonder mij toch gelukkig zal zijn met haar Al zie ik nog steeds in m'n dromen ons vaak bij elkaar
Mijn stil verdriet, dat weet een ander niet Mijn stil verdriet, omdat hij mij verliet Waar ik ook ben, ik hoor nog vaak z'n stem In al m'n dromen, denk ik nog aan hem
Desperation
Composer(s): John Kay
First release by: Steppenwolf - 1968
Rain-drops fall and you feel low Do you ever feel it's useless Do you feel like letting go Well do you ever stop and do you wonder Will the world ever change Yes, well just how long Will it take to have it all re-arranged
Tell me why these things are still the same Tell me why no one can seem to learn from mistakes
Take my hand if you don't know where you're goin' I'll understand--I've lost the way myself Oh, won't you, oh don't take that old road, it leads to nowhere We must return before the clock strikes twelve
Oh, it's so easy to do nothin' when you're busy night and day Take a step in one direction, ooh yeah Take a step the other way So, don't quit tryin' when you stumble Don't give up should you fall Oh, won't you keep on searchin' for the pathway That leads you through the wall
Don't look back or you'll be left behind Don't look back or you will never find peace of mind
Take my hand if you don't know where you're goin' I'll understand, you know I've, I've lost the way myself Now listen here, I don't want to, I don't want to take that old road it leads to nowhere We must return before the clock strikes twelve
