Dime Composer(s): José Luis Perales Performer(s): José Luis Perales
Dime, por qué la gente no sonrie Por qué las armas en las manos Por qué los hombres malheridos, dime
Dime, por qué los niños maltratados Por qué los viejos olvidados Por qué los sueños prohibidos, dime
Dimelo Dios quiero saber Dime por que te niegas a escuchar Aún queda alguien que tal vez rezará Dimelo Dios quiero saber dónde se encuentra toda la verdad Aún queda alguien que tal vez lo sabrá
Dime, por que los cielos ya no lloran Por qué los rios ya no cantan Por qué los has dejado solos, dime
Dime, por que las manos inactivas Por qué el mendigo de la calle Por qué las bombas radiactivas, dime
Dimelo Dios quiero saber Dime por que te niegas a escuchar Aún queda alguien que tal vez rezará Dimelo Dios quiero saber dónde se encuentra toda la verdad Aún queda alguien que tal vez lo sabrá
Pero yo, no
Dime, por qué la gente no sonrie Por qué las armas en las manos Por qué los hombres malheridos, dime
Dime, por qué los niños maltratados Por qué los viejos olvidados Por qué los sueños prohibidos, dime
Dime, por que los cielos ya no lloran Por qué los rios ya no cantan Por qué los has dejado solos, dime

Are you lonesome tonight Do you miss me tonight Are you sorry We drifted apart
Does your memory stray To a bright summer day When I kissed you And called you sweetheart
Do the chairs in your parlor Seem empty and bare Do you gaze at your doorstep And picture me there
Is your heart filled with pain Shall I come back again Tell me dear Are you lonesome tonight
Is your heart filled with pain Shall I come back again Tell me dear Are you lonesome tonight

Versions In Other Languages: 1976 - Er Du Langsom I Nat (by Bamses Venner) 1981 - Ben Je Eenzaam Vannacht (by Will Tura)
È finita così senza un vero perchè ma ogni notte ti sento con me E mi chiedo se tu anche tu come me resti sveglia e mi pensi con te
Sono lunghe le ore se tu non sei qui non ha senso la vita vissuta così Se sei sola anche tu anche tu come me vuoi che torni che torni da te?
Ti senti sola, stasera ti senti sola come me? Questa stanza sembra buia senza il tuo sorriso Guardo la tua poltrona vuota e sento tutta la solitudine del mondo Se mi hai amato, dovresti desiderare di essere ancora fra le mie braccia
Se sei sola anche tu anche tu come me vuoi che torni che torni da te?

Winter In America ((Dutch Version: Winter Hier In Holland Is Zo Koud (by Gerard Cox) - 1987)) Composer(s): Doug Ashdown - Jim Stewart First release by: Doug Ashdown - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists
The harbour's misty in the morning love, oh, how I miss December The frangipani opens up to kiss the salty air I know you're gettin' ready for the office I suppose he's still there, with you Sharing our morningsun
Winter in America is cold And I just keep growing older I wish I could have known Enough of love to leave love enough alone
I've learned something of love I wish I'd known before you left me But it's funny how you don't know what you've got untill it's gone And I hope you're getting all the love you ever wanted But I wish I was there with you Sharing our morningsun
I wake into the sadness of the rain And making love to strangers And wishing I could have known Enough of love to leave love enough alone
Winter in America is cold And I just keep growing older I wish I could have known Enough of love to leave love enough alone
Winter in America is cold And I just keep growing older I wish I could have known Enough of love to leave love enough alone

Composer(s): Gilbert Bécaud - Pierre Delanoë
Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud; Gilbert Sigrist
À l'escalier 6, bloc 21 J'habite un très chouette appartement Que mon père, si tout marche bien Aura payé en moins de vingt ans On a le confort au maximum Un ascenseur et un' sall' de bain On a la télé, le téléphone Et la vue sur Paris, au lointain Le dimanche, ma mère fait du rangement Pendant que mon père, à la télé Regarde les sports religieusement Et moi j'en profit' pour m'en aller
Je m'en vais l' dimanche à Orly Sur l'aéroport, on voit s'envoler Des avions pour tous les pays Pour l'après-midi... J'ai de quoi rêver Je me sens des fourmis dans les idées Quand je rentre chez moi la nuit tombée
À sept heures vingt-cinq, tous les matins Nicole et moi, on prend le métro Comme on dort encore, on n'se dit rien Et chacun s'en va vers ses travaux Quand le soir je retrouve mon lit J'entends les Bings chanter là-haut Je les aime, mes oiseaux de nuit Et j'irai les retrouver bientôt
Oui j'irai dimanche à Orly Sur l'aéroport, on voit s'envoler Des avions pour tous les pays Pour toute une vie... Y a de quoi rêver Un jour, de là-haut, le bloc vingt et un Ne sera qu'un tout petit point

Dim, Dim The Lights (I Want Some Atmosphere) Composer(s): Julius Edward Dixon - Beverly "Ruby" Ross First recording/First release by: Bill Haley and His Comets - 1954
Oh, what a crazy party all the gang's here, too The beat is really jumping like a kangaroo I'm full of cherry soda and potato chips But now I want to get a taste of your sweet lips
So, dim, dim the lights!! - dim, dim the lights... Dim, dim the lights!! - dim, dim the lights... Turn down the lights... ...I want some atmosphere!! The furniture is bouncing round the room with glee And rocking like a boat upon a stormy sea But, dig the crazy pockets on the pile tonight But still I haven't had a chance to hold you tight
Look at Annie's earrings bouncing off her backs Look at Suzie kissing and a-hugging Jack Looking Nancy dancing in her stocking feet... ...we're all going crazy with the mambo beat!!! But, everybody's really having lots of fun But, honey as for me the night has just begun 'Cause now I want to tell you things and hold you tight But, how can I do it with the room so bright?
Bij De Winter Hoort De Sneeuw Composer(s): Pierre Kartner Performer(s): Corry en de Rekels
Bij de winter hoort de sneeuw 't Water hoort toch bij een meeuw Bij de lente hoort de mei Maar jij, jij hoort bij mij
Sterren horen bij de nacht Een kindje hoort bij klein en zacht Een veulen hoort toch in de wei Maar jij, jij hoort bij mij
Duizenden jaren is dit al zo gegaan Niets kan alleen en zonder elkaar bestaan Maar 't mooiste van alles is, dat ik van je hou En daarom past eeuwig toch altijd 't beste bij trouw
Een moeder hoort toch bij een kind 't Einde komt als je begint Tranen horen bij de rouw Maar ik hou van jou
Bij de winter hoort de sneeuw 't Water hoort toch bij een meeuw Bij de lente hoort de mei Maar jij, jij hoort bij mij
Duizenden jaren is dit al zo gegaan Niets kan alleen en zonder elkaar bestaan Maar 't mooiste van alles is, dat ik van je hou En daarom past eeuwig toch altijd 't beste bij trouw
Bij de winter hoort de sneeuw 't Water hoort toch bij een meeuw Bij de lente hoort de mei Maar jij, jij hoort bij mij Maar jij, jij hoort bij mij...
So Fängt Es Immer An

Composer(s): Christian Petzold - Denny Randell - Sandy Linzer
Performer(s): Alma Cogan
So fängt es immer an Ein Boy will nicht mehr so allein sein Er schaut dich fragend an und hält deine Hand so wie im Roman
So fängt es immer an Er spricht nur von der großen Liebe Erst glaubst du nicht daran, später kommen dann rote Rosen an
So fängt es immer an Er wird dich immer wieder küssen Dein Mund sagt nicht mehr nein, du wirst selig sein, weil er dir gefällt
So fängt es immer an Auch du willst nicht mehr so allein sein und wartest Tag und Nacht, bis er endlich sagt, was dich glücklich macht
So fängt es immer an Ein Boy will nicht mehr so allein sein Er schaut dich fragend an und hält deine Hand so wie im Roman
So fängt es immer an Er spricht nur von der großen Liebe Erst glaubst du nicht daran, später kommen dann rote Rosen an
So fängt es immer an Er wird dich immer wieder küssen Dein Mund sagt nicht mehr nein, du wirst selig sein, weil er dir gefällt
So fängt es immer an Auch du willst nicht mehr ...

Hey fellow with a million smackers And nervous indigestion Rich fellow, eats milk and crackers I'll ask you one question You silly so and so With all your dough....
Are you havin' any fun? What y'gettin' out o' livin'? What good is what you've got If you're not havin' any fun?
Are you havin' any laughs? Are you gettin' any lovin'? If other people do, So can you, have a little fun
After the honey's in the cone Little bees go out and play Even the old grey mare down home Has got to have hay....HEY!
You better have some fun You ain't gonna live forever Before you're old and gray, feel okay Have your little fun, son! Have your little fun!
Why do you work and slave and save? Life is full of ifs and buts You know the squirrels save and save And what have they got.....Nuts!
Better have a little fun You ain't gonna live forever Before you're old and grey, still okay Have your little fun, son! Have your little fun! Are you havin' any fun?
Ich Liebe Das Leben Composer(s): Leo Leandros; Klaus Murro Performer(s): Vicky Leandros; Rabaue
Dein Koffer wartet schon im Flur du Iäßt mich allein Wir sehn uns an und fühlen nur es muß wohl so sein Noch stehst du zögernd in der Tür und fragst was wird aus dir?
Nein, sorg dich nicht um mich, du weißt ich liebe das Leben und weine ich manchmal noch um dich, das geht vorüber sicherlich Was kann mir schon geschehn? Glaub mir ich liebe das Leben Das Karussell wird sich weiterdrehn auch wenn wir auseinandergehn
Mag sein daß man sich selber oft viel zu wichtig nimmt Verzweifelt auf ein Feuer hofft wo es nur noch glimmt Wenn so was auch sehr weh tun kann man stirbt nicht gleich daran
Nein, sorg dich nicht um mich, du weißt ich liebe das Leben und weine ich manchmal noch um dich, das geht vorüber sicherlich Was kann mir schon geschehn? Glaub mir ich liebe das Leben Das Karussell wird sich weiterdrehn auch wenn wir auseinandergehn
Vielleicht gefällt's mir wieder frei zu sein vielleicht verlieb ich mich auf's neu man wird ja sehn Die Welt ist schön wie's kommt ist einerlei La la la Du weißt ich liebe das Leben La la la la la la ...
Ich frag dich: Was kann mir schon geschehn? Glaub mir ich liebe das Leben Das Karussell wird sich weiterdrehn auch wenn wir auseinandergehn auch wenn wir auseinandergehn Du weißt ich liebe das Leben
My Broken Souvenirs Composer(s): Werner Theunissen Performer(s): Pussycat; Demis Roussos
For each moment of tears I still had my souvenirs Cherished in a pocket full of dreams I could hold I could feel Kept pretending they were real Long time after lovers stayed away Now a picture of you I had cherished so true Even kissed 'till I'd seen you again But when
I've been crying today Threw my memories away Something died as I cried For my broken souvenirs Can I reach for the sun Find a place I belong Now you're one of my broken souvenirs If you'll need me again There's no way you really can Pasted pieces never make a whole And if you leave your room On some windy afternoon Try to see where all the pieces flew It was hard to get on Since my memories were gone But if you'll ever see me again I can

Dim all the lights sweet darling

Turn up the old Vitrola
Gonna dance the night away
Love just don't come easy

When you find the perfect love
Let it fill you up

You know the moments are right

Come let's dim all the lights
Dim all the lights sweet darling
'Cause tonight it's all the way
Turn up the old Vitrola

Tu es numéro 1 au hit-parade de mon cur Tu es mon doux succès, mon petit amour enchanteur Et lorsque tu me donnes tes baisers si parfumés J'ai la tête qui commence à tourner
Tu as monté sans bruit la douce échelle de l'amour Comme un joli refrain que l'on fredonne tous les jours Je ne me lasse pas de te voir, de t'écouter Car tu es ma chanson préférée
Quand je t'ai connue Fragile et menue Tu ne m'as pas fait Tellement d'effet Mais tu as grimpé, grimpé au sommet de ma vie Tant et si bien qu'à l'heure d'aujourd'hui
Tu es numéro 1 au hit-parade de mon cur Et de toutes les filles, c'est toi qui as ma faveur Je voudrais maintenant que tu restes mon grand amour Mon doux numéro un pour toujours
Cette histoire vécue Ressemble, vois-tu À une musique Tendre et romantique Qui pénètre doucement au fond de notre esprit Puis qui nous obsède jour et nuit
Tu es numéro 1 au hit-parade de mon cur Et puisque tu me donnes ce qu'on appelle le bonheur Je voudrais maintenant que tu restes mon grand amour Mon doux numéro 1 pour toujours

I can't see you, but you can see me waiting along the road Thumbing a ride to get into town hey where'd you get your automobe See you around the corner, waitin' for my flame to burn My eyes are dim, I cannot see But I know there's a good time waiting for me Making my scene just groovin' around, making what chicks I can I drink what I like and I dance what I do, I'm getting right through to the band See you in the corner, wait for my flame to burn My eyes are dim, I cannot see I'd sooner feel you babe, feeling me Think I'll leap around a bit, and sow my seed somewhere Go on around to the 46, gonna do the things that I dare See you in the corner, wait for my flame to burn My eyes are dim, I cannot see You'd better not take that thought from me
