Deux Enfants
Composer(s): M. Fontenoy
Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan
Deux enfants allongés silencieux les yeux au fond des yeux croient être heureux c'était comme ça pour nous aussi t'en souviens-tu?
Tout au début Deux enfants luttant contre la vie qui rend le ciel plus gris couvert d'ennuis c'était comme ça pour nous aussi t'en souviens-tu?
Tout au début Deux enfants, la peine au fond des yeux les illusions loin d'eux sont malheureux c'était comme ça pour nous aussi rappelle-toi et c'est fini
Apple Tree Man Composer(s): Tim Bricheno - Andy Cousin - Julianne Regan Performer(s): All About Eve
The tree gives me shade The shade turns to shadow He turns to speak The apple tree man lives in a secret garden And I held the key
He may be alone with himself Living in his mind He may be in love with himself But what will he do when he finds he left someone behind Maybe he let me down
Lullaby baby to sleep and charm away Sleep turns to dream The apple tree man See him become the sandman See the cradle fall (I watch it fall)
Deux Colombes Composer(s): Gianni Esposito Performer(s): Dalida
Pareil à deux colombes que le désir appelle Et qui s'en vont hautes les ailes Et déployées, vers la douceur du nid A travers l'espace Par leur vouloir porter Ainsi que le chantait Le poète, dans sa divine comédie
Quali colombe dal desio chiamate Lali spiegate e ferme al doce nido Vienan per l'aere dal voler portate Quali colombe dal desio chiamate
Ainsi nos âmes peut être un jour S'en iront-elles deux par deux à l'infini Dans l'espace et le temps Divinement réunies Comme jamais nous ne le fument sur terre
Quali colombe dal desio chiamate Lali spiegate e ferme al doce nido Vienan per l'aere dal voler portate Quali colombe dal desio Chiamate
Laat Je Hoofd Op Mijn Schouder Performer(s): John Larry
Je kwam hier zeker nooit voorheen Want anders had ik jou bemerkt En ogen zoals die van jou Hadden belangstelling gewekt Mag ik je vragen hoe je heet Of vind je mij soms indiscreet En is je hart nog altijd vrij? Dan is t geluk misschien dichtbij
Laat je hoofd op mijn schouder Droom van liefde wonderzacht Laat je hoofd op mijn schouder En dans met mij heel de nacht
Weldra gaan al de lichten uit Die avond is bijna voorbij Als je wilt, breng ik je naar huis Dan heb ik jou nog wat bij mij Mijn wagen staat vlak voor de deur Ik stuur voorzichtig, wees niet bang En niet te snel, begrijp me wel Zo duurt het reisje eens zo lang
Laat je hoofd op mijn schouder Droom van liefde wonderzacht Laat je hoofd op mijn schouder En dans met mij heel de nacht
Laat je hoofd op mijn schouder Droom van liefde zo wonderzacht Laat je hoofd op mijn schouder En kus me, liefste, goede nacht En kus me, liefste, goede nacht
Deux Amis Pour Un Amour Composer(s): Roger Dumas Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
On avait grandi ensemble Et maintenant tu es là Tu dors entre quatre planches Et moi je ne comprends pas Tu étais plus que mon frère Sauras-tu me pardonner Durant ma vie tout entière Je ne pourrai plus aimer
Deux amis pour un amour Pour un impossible amour Deux amis pour un amour Tu es parti pour toujours
On aimait la même fille Et toujours on s'était dis C'est pas grand-chose une fille Lorsque l'on a un ami On s'était fait la promesse Tous les deux de l'oublier Mais j'ai trahi ma promesse Je n'ai pas su m'en aller
Deux amis pour un amour Pour un impossible amour Deux amis pour un amour Tu es parti pour toujours
Tu étais plus que mon frère Mais quand elle m'a embrassé Tu es parti sans colère À la mort tu t'es donné Depuis je vais par les routes Je n'aurai plus de repos Je n'aimerai plus sans doute Ma vie est dans ce tombeau
Sans ami et sans amour Pour un impossible amour Sans ami et sans amour Je reste seul pour toujours

Performer(s): Enrico Macias
Deux ailes et trois plumes Dans son blanc costume On dirait une mariée Voici la colombe La jolie colombe Avec son brin d'olivier Enfants de ce monde Oubliez vos frondes Vous risquez de la blesser Voici la colombe La jolie colombe Qui voudrait bien se poser On apprend bien trop tôt À faire la guerre à tous les oiseaux À salir la terre le ciel et l'eau À détruire ce qui est beau On s'habitue ainsi À penser que tout nous est permis Et à ne plus respecter la vie Pourtant qu'elle est jolie
Deux ailes et trois plumes Dans son blanc costume Voici la colombe La jolie colombe Avec son brin d'olivier Vous les grands du monde Pour quelques secondes Laissez lui sa liberté Voici la colombe La jolie colombe Qui a peur de se poser On l'a tellement chassée Dans tous les pays du monde entier Tant de fois tant de milliers d'années Elle ne sait plus où aller Si l'on ouvrait son cur Si l'on savait donner le meilleur Il ne serait pas loin le bonheur Et elle n'aurait plus peur
Deux ailes et trois plumes Dans son blanc costume On dirait une mariée Voici la colombe La jolie colombe Avec son brin d'olivier Vous tous dans ce monde Ce monde qui gronde Avec moi si vous voulez La jolie colombe Dans le soir qui tombe Nous allons l'apprivoiser
Apple Scruffs Composer(s): George Harrison Performer(s): George Harrison
Now Ive watched you sitting there Seen the passers-by all stare Like you have no place to go But theres so much they dont know about apple scruffs
Youve been stood around for years Seen my smiles and touched my tears How its been a long, long time And how youve been on my mind, my apple scruffs
Apple scruffs, apple scruffs How I love you, how I love you
In the fog and in the rain Through the pleasures and the pain On the step outside you stand With your flowers in your hand, my apple scruffs
While the years they come and go Now, your love must surely show me That beyond all time and space Were together face to face, my apple scruffs
Apple scruffs, apple scruffs How I love you, how I love you
Deus Lhe Pague Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Chico Buarque; Os Paralamas; Elis Regina
Por esse pão pra comer, por esse chão pra dormir A certidão pra nascer e a concessão pra sorrir Por me deixar respirar, por me deixar existir Deus lhe pague
Pelo prazer de chorar e pelo ``estamos aí'' Pela piada no bar e o futebol pra aplaudir Um crime pra comentar e um samba pra distrair Deus lhe pague
Por essa praia, essa saia, pelas mulheres daqui O amor malfeito depressa, fazer a barba e partir Pelo domingo que é lindo, novela, missa e gibi Deus lhe pague
Pela cachaça de graça que a gente tem que engolir Pela fumaça, desgraça, que a gente tem que tossir Pelos andaimes, pingentes, que a gente tem que cair Deus lhe pague
Por mais um dia, agonia, pra suportar e assistir Pelo rangido dos dentes, pela cidade a zunir E pelo grito demente que nos ajuda a fugir Deus lhe pague
Pela mulher carpideira pra nos louvar e cuspir E pelas moscas-bicheiras a nos beijar e cobrir E pela paz derradeira que enfim vai nos redimir Deus lhe pague
Apple Of Your Daddy's Eye Composer(s): Peter Cetera - Jack Conrad - Michael Gore Performer(s): Peter Cetera
I remember when you were born I felt like one lucky Son of a gun
And when you turned into two I was so happy When you said I love you
Held you in my arms so tight I'd never forget The best years of my life
Apple of your daddy's eye Wanna be the one to hold you in the night Apple of your daddy's eye Oh, oh sleep tight Don't you worry gonna be alright
I remember when you were three You were so lovely So very pretty
And when you turned into four I finally realized What God put her here for
Apple of your daddy's eye Wanna be the one to hold you in the night Apple of your daddy's eye Oh, oh sleep tight Don't you worry gonna be alright
If I had my way Time would stand still You'd stay as sweet as you are But time waits for no one It never will Your gonna leave me soon enough I'm just sad 'cause you're growing up
Held you in my arms so tight I'd never forget The best years of my life
Apple of your daddy's eye Wanna be the one to hold you in the night Apple of your daddy's eye Oh, oh sleep tight Don't you worry gonna be alright
Don't stop ever lovin' me because You're the apple of your daddy's eye
Deuces Wild
Composer(s): Ray Barr - Frankie Laine - Mike Oatman
Performer(s): Frankie Laine
(Deuces wild, deuces wild) He came my way to play the game (Up and down the river, lookin' all the while) For a man who plays poker with deuces wild (He's the man who plays poker with deuces wild)
When I was just a lad, before I turned bad No more than the age of ten I heard my poor Ma, pleading with my Pa "Please don't go gamblin' again"
Well-known in New Orleans, and along the river streams As destiny's gamblin' child And tattooed on his arm he had a good luck charm The words were deuces wild
Deuces wild, deuces wild He came my way to play the game (He's the man who plays poker with deuces wild)
Soon he disappeared, and then through the years My ma slowly died in shame And so as I was leavin', I swore that I'd get even With him who gave me my name
So I began to deal on the Memphis Keel Who's captain sure liked my style Revenge was in my will, I had to find and kill The man with deuces wild
Cut a card, played it hard Makin' myself a name (He's the man who plays poker with deuces wild)
Many years had past, and I lived 'em fast My search set my soul on fire They knew me up and down in every levee town As one with a crazy desire
And with my own two hands, I had to break the man Who gambled with such a smile I would put a bullet through the man with that tattoo Who sure loved deuces wild
Up and down the river Looking all the while For a man who plays poker with deuces wild (He's the man who plays poker with deuces wild)
One day I played a hand with killer Fitzy Dan Who came up from Mobile way When he saw he was beaten, he said that I was cheatin' His gun quickly pushed the cards away
As I heard the bullets scream, an old Jim stepped between He looked up and smiled, then died And tattoed on his arm, I saw a good luck charm The words were deuces wild
Deuces wild, deuces wild He came my way to play the game Cut a card, played it hard Makin' myself a name
Up and down the river Lookin' all the while For a man who plays poker with deuces wild
Waar m'n wiegje heeft gestaan 't Is niet ver hier vandaan Heeft geluk me omringt al die jaren Tussen bloesem en bomen Kon ik zorgeloos dromen En geluk kon ik daar al gaan sparen 't Was op een heel klein station Waar m'n leven begon 'k Leerde daar van m'n ouders toen lopen Daar vertrok toen m'n trein 'k Moet er dankbaar voor zijn Nu ben ik groot, maar eens was ik klein
Bedankt liever ouders Bedankt voor 't leven Bedankt lieve ouders Voor wat u mij hebt gegeven Ik begrijp nu pas goed Wat u voor mij hebt gedaan Bedankt dat mijn wiegje In uw huis eens mocht staan
U had om mij wel eens verdriet Maar dat weet een ander niet Toch bleef u van mij altijd houden Ik kreeg van God een lieve vrouw En een kind wara 'k veel van hou Waar ik samen m'n leven mee bouwde Ik denk weer terug aan 't station Waar m'n leven toen begon Waar de trein voor 't eerst toen ging rijden We kenden vreugde en pijn Ik zal er dankbaar voor zijn Nu ben ik groot, maar eens was ik klein
Bedankt liever ouders Bedankt voor 't leven Bedankt lieve ouders Voor wat u mij hebt gegeven Ik begrijp nu pas goed Wat u voor mij hebt gedaan Bedankt dat mijn wiegje In uw huis eens mocht staan
Bedankt liever ouders Bedankt voor 't leven Bedankt lieve ouders Voor wat u mij hebt gegeven Ik begrijp nu pas goed Wat u voor mij hebt gedaan Bedankt dat mijn wiegje In uw huis eens mocht staan
Deuces Are Wild
Composer(s): Steven Tyler - Jim Vallance
Performer(s): Aerosmith
Ahhh, I love to look into your big brown eyes
They talk to me and seem to hypnotize
They say the things nobody dares to say
And I'm not about to let you fly away
My lover with no jet lag
We're stayin' up all night in my sleeping bag
You got a heart beatin' rhythm
From the subterranean
I really love you little girl
I don't need to explain
I love you 'cause your Deuces are Wild girl
Like a double shot of love is so fine
I been lovin' you since you was a child girl
'Cause you an' me is two of a kind
Ahhh, like déjà-vu I feel like I been here
Or somewhere else but you been always near
It's you that's in my dreams I'm beggin' for
But I woke up when someone slammed the door
So hard I fell outta bed
Screamin' mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread
And the moral of the story I can testify
I get stoned on you girl
That's the best reason why
I love you 'cause your Deuces are Wild girl
Like a double shot of love is so fine
I been lovin' you since you was a child girl
'Cause you an' me is two of a kind
Apple Of My Eye Composer(s): Pete Ham Performer(s): Badfinger
Oh, I'm sorry, but it's time to move away Though inside my heart, I really want to stay Believe the love we have is so sincere You know, the gift you have will always be
You're the apple of my eye You're the apple of my heart But now, the time has come to part
Oh, I'm sorry, but it's time to make a stand Though we never meant to bite the lovin' hand And now, the time has come to walk alone We were the children, now we've overgrown
You're the apple of my eye You're the apple of my heart But now, the time has come to part
Oh, I'm sorry, but it's time to move away Though inside my heart, I really want to stay Believe the love we have is so sincere You know, the gift you have will always be
You're the apple of my eye You're the apple of my heart But now, the time has come to part
Now, the time has come to part Now, the time has come to part

Composer(s): Kevin Gordon - Gwil Owen
Performer(s): Scotty Moore & D.J. Fontana; Keith Richards; Kevin Gordon
Buy a bottle get to feeling good World's lookin' like you think it should Happy hour, Honey everyone's your friend Closing time shut her down again Up in the morning and your facing town Walk the same streets up and down A fire burning in your worn out shoes Every day you got something to prove
A curb feelers and fender skirts Scrub the chrome 'till your elbow hurts A pinstripes and cherry packs grass stains on your second hand slacks Keep on bettin' think you gonna win You can dress it up and try to pretend a car's a car and that's a fact A deuce and a quarter aint no cadillac
Uncle Johnny has a country act His headache is a heart attack Honey bring me down a couple more pills Call the lawyer up and change my will
Ham sandwich and a glass of tea Lunch is cheap but never free Shaking hands and scratching backs Grease stains on your second hand slacks Keep on bettin think you're gonna win You can dress it up and try to pretend A car's a car and thats a fact A deuce and a quarter ain't a cadillac Got a date gotta dress with care Wash the gray right outa my hair
Clean the car and when I'm through Wax it up till it looks brand new
A curb feelers and a fender skirt Scrub the chrome 'till your elbows hurt
Pinstripes and cherry packs grass stains on your second hand slacks
Keep on bettin' think your gonna win You can dress it up and try to pretend
A car's a car, and that's a fact but a Deuce and a quarter aint no cadillac
A car's a car, and that's a fact but a Deuce and a quarter aint no cadillac

Covered by multiple other artists
I want to go home, I want to go home Oh Lord, I want to go home
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit city And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sister and brother And I dreamed about that girl, who's been waitin' for so long
I want to go home, I want to go home Oh Lord, I want to go home
Home folks think I'm big in Detroit city From the letters that I write they think I'm fine But by day I make the cars, and by night I make the bars If only they could read between the lines
I want to go home, I want to go home Oh Lord, I want to go home
You know, I rode a freight train north to Detroit city And after all these years I find I've just been wasting my time So I think I'll take my foolish pride, put it on a southbound freight and ride Go on back to the ones I left, who've been waitin' for so long
I want to go home, I want to go home Oh Lord, I want to go home
