Autant D'amour Autant De Fleurs
Composer(s): Henri Bassis
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



Il y a dans Harlem
À se manger des yeux
Un couple d'amoureux
Qui dansent et quand ils s'aiment
La nuit moule leurs corps
Leurs gestes et leurs phrases
Et leur rire est sonore
Comme un sanglot de jazz

Autant d'amour autant de fleurs
Y'en a de toutes les couleurs
De flamme ou d'ombre
De neige ou miel
Toutes les roses se confondent
Tous les amours qui sont au monde
Font comme une arche d'arc-en-ciel

Il y a dans mon coeur
Un cocktail d'amoureux
J'invente les aveux
Je mêle les liqueurs
Il est noir elle est blanche
Elle est jeune il est beau
La main le long des hanches
Glisse comme un oiseau

Autant d'amour autant de fleurs
Y'en a de toutes les couleurs
De flamme ou d'ombre
De neige ou miel
Toutes les roses se confondent
Tous les amours qui sont au monde
Font comme une arche d'arc-en-ciel

Qu'importent au long des rues
Les regards qui s'attardent
Qu'importent les échardes
Aux amours défendues
Il y a dans mon coeur
Libres comme les dieux
Un couple d'amoureux
Qui croise ses couleurs

Autant d'amour autant de fleurs
Y'en a de toutes les couleurs
De flamme ou d'ombre
De neige ou miel
Toutes les roses se confondent
Tous les amours qui sont au monde
Font comme une arche d'arc-en-ciel

When your hand, I squeeze it tight
I'm putting my trust in you
If you take your time and love me right
There ain't nothing that I won't do

Take me higher and higher
Baby, let's have a ball
(Let's have a ball)
Take me higher and higher

Don't drop my love
Baby, handle me with care
(Handle me, handle me)
Don't drop my love
Don't drop my love
I'll follow you anywhere
(Anywhere you want now, baby)

Heaven knows you're good for me
So I'm letting myself go
In your arms is where I wanna be
Come on and hold me close

Take me higher and higher
Baby, let's have a ball
(Let's have a ball)
Take me higher and higher
Baby, don't let me fall

Take me higher and higher
Baby, let's have a ball

Take me higher and higher
Don't you let me fall

Baby, baby, don't drop it
Baby, baby, now don't you drop it

[repeat Chorus 2 3x]

[repeat Chorus]

Now don't you drop
Now don't you drop

[repeat Chorus 2 5x]

[repeat Chorus 2x]

Australia Land Of Today
Composer(s): Judith Durham
Performer(s): Judith Durham



Australia land of today, every way
We'll sing your praise as a country far and wide
We'll sing of loving and living here each day
We'll tell the world of endless beauty
And the sun that warms our way

Australia land of today, every way
We'll take the cares of the world within our stride
When there are troubles we'll always lend a hand
And we will love you because you are our land

And in days of strife and woe
There's no better way to show
That Australia is great among them all
Than to care for everyone
Every colour, we're all one
We're Australian - so never let them fall

Australia land of today, we will pray
That there could always be peace within your shores
The Aussie spirit's riding high and our voices fill the sky 
That Australia's a great place to be 
And Australian are we, you and me

Don't Drop Inn/Workin' On My Attitude
Composer(s): Judy Freudberg - Tony Geiss - Van Dyke Parks
Performer(s): Ronnie Milsap



"Meanwhile everyone from Sesame Street
was trying to find Big Bird
Even me; I love a wild goose chase
One night we ate at a real grunge café
with grunge food and grunge..."
Here I really feel great
When I sing the blues and make you cry
Bye bye
Guess I was born to be
A dark cloud in a sunny sky
...
If I can't make it rain on your parade
I shouldn't be so rude
And I'm workin' on my attitude
Anti-sociable, unemotional, insensitive
Right down to the bone
My personality has possibility
Only a flaw or two
So I'm workin' on my attitude
There's nothing like a friend
Who'll... for hours on end and never smiles
... affection
... and disrespect in style
Say, life's a piece of cake
And I don't watch my weight at all
Lessee
I approach you somewhat rude
But I'm workin' on my attitude
Anti-sociable, unemotional, insensitive
Right down to the bone
My personality has possibility
Only a flaw or two
And I'm workin' on my attitude

Australia
Composer(s): Ray Davies
Performer(s): Steve Howe



Play the halls
See the stalls tonight
Open roads the like
Across the dateline change will never strike

Australia lies ahead
Australia, we head for the mainland
Clutching our gifts from the East
Only to find out

Planes and the highways
Strain the paths and the by-ways
Remain, still it's leading me
Closer to you

Australia, we're leaving you behind
Australia, we're taking the easy way out
From now on

"Come to," can't get away from ya still
"Come to, we'll take good care of ya"

Australia, you save your face while fashions slip
Australia, you're balanaced between
The powers' tightening grip
I've been to, it's a long way for ya still
"Go via, they'll take care of ya"

Don't Do Me Like That
Composer(s): Tom Petty
First release by: Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - 1979



I was talkin' with a friend of mine
Said a woman done hurt his pride
Told him that she loved him so, then
Turned around and let him go
Then he said "you'd better watch your step"
Or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to size...
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Girl I love you baby
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Someday I'll need ya baby
Don't do me like that
Listen honey can you see, baby you'll bury me
You're in the public eye, give someone else a try
And you know you'd better watch your step, or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to size...
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Girl I love you baby
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
'Cause somewhere deep down inside, someone is sayin'
Love doesn't last that long...
I have the feeling inside, Lord I don't need it
I know I can't take it no more....
Someday I'll need ya baby
Don't do me like that
Listen honey can you see, baby you'll bury me
You're in the public eye, give someone else a try
And you know you'd better watch your step, or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to size...
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Girl I love you baby
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that

Aussi Vivant
Composer(s): Carla Bruni - Julien Clerc 
Performer(s): Julien Clerc



Sans vouloir vraiment
Sans intention
Sans poser l'ombre d'une question
Comme en passant

Sans qu'il soit trop tard
Sans déraison
Sans s'inquiéter de n'pas savoir
Sans se dire non

Se laisser glisser très tendrement
Se chavirer tout simplement
Le corps brûlant
Rien de la vie
Rien ne me laisse
Aussi vivant
Aussi vivant

Sans se dire pourquoi
Et sans comment
Sans s'envelopper de faux-semblants
Et sans contrat

Se laisser aimer très doucement
Et s'emmêler obstinément
À leurs tourments
Rien de la vie
Rien ne me laisse
Aussi vivant
Aussi vivant

Se laisser glisser très tendrement
Se chavirer tout simplement
Se laisser aimer très doucement
Et s'emmêler obstinément

Sans vouloir toujours tellement frémir
Sans se convaincre de l'amour sans s'éblouir
Se serrer tout contre cet instant
Se laisser jouer tout simplement
Comme des enfants

Rien de la vie
Rien ne me laisse
Aussi vivant
Aussi vivant

Rien de la vie
Vaut qu'on se lasse
D'être vivant

Se laisser glisser très tendrement
Se chavirer tout simplement
Se laisser aimer très doucement
Et s'emmêler obstinément

Don't Do It
Composer(s): Johnny Burnette
Performer(s): Johnny Burnette



If I had a girl that loved me 
Just as much as she loves you 
I'd stay in her arms every doggone day 
And never would be untrue 
You can't win (you can't win) 
Don't do it, my friend 

Well you told her lies and alibis 
You tried to make her think you care 
But when she wants the little bit of love you promised 
She can't find it anywhere 
You can't win (you can't win) 
Don't do it, my friend 

One of these days you're gonna find yourself 
All alone and oh so blue 
Don't come to me for sympathy 
'Cause it'll be too late 
There won't be a thing I can do for you 

Well you'd better take her in your lovin' arms 
And tell her that you're so ashamed 
Don't try to be smart and break her heart 
'Cause you're gonna play a loser's game 
You can't win (you can't win) 
Don't do it, my friend 

One of these days you're gonna find yourself 
All alone and oh so blue 
Don't come to me for sympathy 
'Cause it'll be too late 
There won't be a thing I can do for you 

Well you'd better take her in your lovin' arms 
And tell her that you're so ashamed 
Don't try to be smart and break her heart 
'Cause you're gonna play a loser's game 
You can't win (you can't win) 
Don't do it, my friend

(repeat): 
You can't win (you can't win) 
Don't do it, my friend

Aussi Dur Que Du Bois
((Adapted from: Knock On Wood (by Eddie Floyd) - 1966))
Composer(s): Eddie Floyd - Steve Cropper - Georges Aber
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday - 1967



Quand j'étais enfant on disait
Que j'étais un vaurien
Et je traînais
Dans les rues tout le temps
Avec les mêmes copains
Oui, je m'en souviens
On se cognait, frappait
J'avais la tête aussi dure
Aussi dure que du bois
Je crois

Plus tard dans la vie
J'ai donné
Mon amour aux filles
Quel temps perdu
À les aimer pour rien
Tous mes ennuis, chagrins
Oui, je m'en souviens
Et j'ai souffert l'enfer
Et j'ai le cœur aussi dur
Aussi dur que du bois
Je crois

Je cherche encore un amour
Qui peux tout sauver
Amour d'un jour
J'en ai plus qu'assez
Ils m'ont fait du mal
Le voilà mon secret
Ne cherchez pas pourquoi
Si j'ai le cœur aussi dur
Aussi dur que du bois
C'est ça

Aussi dur que du bois
C'est ça
Aussi dur que du bois
Aussi dur, dur, dur que du bois
Aussi dur que du bois...

Don't Dilly Dally On The Way ((aka My Old Man (Said Follow The Van))
Composer(s): Charles Collins - Fred W. Leigh
Performer(s): Mary Lloyd



We had to move away
'Cos the rent we couldn't pay
The moving van came round just after dark
There was me and my old man
Shoving things inside the van
Which we'd often done before, let me remark
We packed all that could be packed
In the van, and that's a fact
And we got inside all that we could get inside
Then we packed all we could pack
On the tailboard at the back
Till there wasn't any room for me to ride
My old man said: "Foller the van
And don't dilly-dally on the way"
Off went the van wiv me 'ome packed in it
I walked be'ind wiv me old cock linnet
But I dillied and dallied
Dallied and dillied
Lost me way and don't know where to roam
And you can't trust a "Special"
Like the old-time copper
When you can't find your way home
I gave a helping hand
With the marble wash hand-stand
And straight, we wasn't getting on so bad
All at once, the car-man bloke
Had an accident and broke
Well, the nicest bit of china that we had
You'll understand, of course
I was cross about the loss
Same as any other human woman would
But I soon got over that
What with "two out" and a chat
'Cos it's little things like that what does you good
My old man said: "Foller the van
And don't dilly-dally on the way"
Off went the van wiv me 'ome packed in it
I walked be'ind wiv me old cock linnet
But I dillied and dallied
Dallied and dillied
Lost me way and don't know where to roam
Oh! I'm in such a mess
I don't know the new address
Don't even know the blessed neighbourhood
And I feel as if I might
Have to stay out here all night
And that ain't a goin' to do me any good
I don't make no complaint
But I'm coming over faint
What I want now's a good substantial feed
And I sort 'o kind 'o feel
If I don't soon have a meal
I shall have to rob the linnet of its seed!
My old man said: "Foller the van
And don't dilly-dally on the way"
Off went the van wiv me 'ome packed in it
I walked be'ind wiv me old cock linnet
But I dillied and dallied
Dallied and dillied
Lost me way and don't know where to roam

Ausencia

Me duelen las sombras que ocultan el alma
si el alma es la mente y la sombra, distancia
Me duele la ausencia de mentes más claras
que nunca por claras tuvieron morada

Don't Cry Wolf
Composer(s): Brian James
Performer(s): The Damned



You don't have to listen
To what your parents say
They don't understand us
Their laws we don't obey
You can wear what you want
There ain't no uniform
Go where you want to go
Don't stay locked at home

Don't be a fool
Don't cry wolf
Don't be a fool
Don't cry wolf

You stand stand around now
Looking like fools
But there's a lot you could do
There ain't no rules
No point in getting bored
That won't help if you fail

So come and have some fun now
Help us smash it all

Don't be a fool
Don't cry wolf
Don't be a fool
Don't cry wolf

It's no good for you kids
Being told what to do
There's a lot of kicks for you
If you find something new

You don't have to listen
To what your parents say
They don't understand us
Their laws we don't obey
You can wear what you want
And there ain't no uniform
Go where you want to go
Don't stay at home

Don't be a fool
Don't cry wolf
Don't be a fool
Don't cry wolf

Aurore
Composer(s): Pierre Rapsat
First release by: Pierre Rapsat - 1992



Il y a dans les yeux d'Aurore
À l'encre des années écrites sur un livre d'or
Toute une histoire qui brille
C'est tout simplement sa vie
Et les souvenirs
Que je peux lire
Vous emmène danser
Dans son passé

Danse, danse, dansait Aurore
Avec ton fiancé
Danse, danse, dansait Aurore
Et vive les mariés

Mais il y a dans les yeux d'Aurore
Elle et ses enfants qui fuirent l'Espagne à l'aurore
Ils sont venus lui prendre
Celui qu'elle aime, Franco
Sombre souvenir
Que je peux lire
Gravé dans le passé
Dans son passé

Danse, danse, dansait l'Aurore
C'est la fin de l'été
Danse, danse, dansait l'Aurore
Elle n'a plus jamais dansé

L'histoire est souvent cruelle
Elle a quitté le soleil
Pour arriver dans ce plat pays
Pour que ses enfants grandissent ici

Pour que les siens survivent
Pour qu'un jour je puisse lui dire
En 1900 est né quelqu'un d'épatant
Et même si longtemps elle est restée belle
Elle est à jamais fidèle
Aux souvenirs
Qui l'emmènent danser dans son passé

Danse, danse, danse Aurore
Avec ton fiancé
Danse, danse, danse Aurore
Et vive les mariés

Danse, danse, danse Aurore
Et vive les mariés

Don't Cry Out Loud
Composer(s): Peter Allen - Carole Bayer Sager
First release by: Peter Allen - 1976
Covered by multiple other artists



Baby cried the day the circus came to town
'Cause she didn't want parades just passin' by her
So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown
While she danced without a net upon the wire
I know a lot about 'er 'cause, you see
Baby is an awful lot like me
Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside, learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all

Baby saw that when they pulled that big top down
They left behind her dreams among the litter
The different kind of love she thought she'd found
There was nothin' left but sawdust and some glitter
But baby can't be broken 'cause you see
She had the finest teacher-that was me-I told 'er

Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all

Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost made it 

Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all

Aurora Borie Alice
Composer(s): Walter Peirson Jr. - Samuel K. Stinger Jr.



Little Eskimo, in your house of snow 
Way up by the Polar Sea

Yet there is no light the long Artic night
And I must soon go away

Sweet Aurora Borie Alice 
In your snowy crystal palace
There's no girl in all the world compares to you
And although your skin is yellow
Yet I want to be your fellow
Underneath I know your heart is true

Don't Cry Joni
Composer(s): Conway Twitty
Performer(s): Conway Twitty & Joni Lee



Joni was the girl who lived next door
I've known her, I guess, ten years or more
Joni wrote me a note one day
And this is what she had to say

Joni:
(Jimmy, please say you'll wait for me)
(I'll grow up someday you'll see)
(Saving all my kisses just for you)
(Signed with love forever true)

Slowly I read her note once more
I went over to the house next door
Her teardrops fell like rain that day
When I told Joni what I had to say

Joni, Joni please don't cry
You'll forget me by and by
You're just fifteen, I'm twenty-two
And Joni, I just can't wait for you

Soon I left our little home town
Got me a job and tried to settle down
But those words kept haunting my memory
The words that Joni wrote to me

Joni:
(Jimmy, please say you'll wait for me)
(I'll grow up someday you'll see)
(Saving all my kisses just for you)
(Signed with love forever true)

I packed my clothes and I caught a plane
I had to see Joni, I had to explain
How my heart was filled with her memory
And ask my Joni if she'd marry me

I ran all the way to the house next door
But things weren't like they were before
My teardrops fell like rain that day
When I heard what Joni had to say

Joni:
(Jimmy, Jimmy please don't cry)
(You'll forget me by and by)
(It's been five years since you've been gone)
(And Jimmy, I married your best friend John)

Auprès De Mon Arbre
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
First release by: Georges Brassens



J'ai plaqué mon chêne
Comme un saligaud
Mon copain le chêne
Mon alter ego
On était du même bois
Un peu rustique un peu brut
Dont on fait n'importe quoi
Sauf naturell'ment les flûtes
J'ai maint'nant des frênes
Des arbres de judée
Tous de bonne graine
De haute futaie
Mais toi, tu manque à l'appel
Ma vieille branche de campagne
Mon seul arbre de Noël
Mon mât de cocagne

Auprès de mon arbre
Je vivais heureux
J'aurais jamais dû
M'éloigner d' mon arbre
Auprès de mon arbre
Je vivais heureux
J'aurais jamais dû
Le quitter des yeux

Je suis un pauvr' type
J'aurais plus de joie
J'ai jeté ma pipe
Ma vieill' pipe en bois
Qu'avait fumé sans s' fâcher
Sans jamais m'brûlé la lippe
L'tabac d'la vache enragée
Dans sa bonn' vieill' têt' de pipe
J'ai des pip's d'écume
Ornées de fleurons
De ces pip's qu'on fume
En levant le front
Mais j'retrouv'rai plus ma foi
Dans mon cœur ni sur ma lippe
Le goût d'ma vieill' pipe en bois
Sacré nom d'un' pipe

Auprès de mon arbre
Je vivais heureux
J'aurais jamais dû
M'éloigner d' mon arbre
Auprès de mon arbre
Je vivais heureux
J'aurais jamais dû
Le quitter des yeux

Le surnom d'infâme
Me va comme un gant
D'avecques ma femme
J'ai foutu le camp
Parc' que depuis tant d'années
C'était pas un' sinécure
De lui voir tout l'temps le nez
Au milieu de la figure
Je bas la campagne
Pour dénicher la
Nouvelle compagne
Valant celles-là
Qui, bien sûr, laissait beaucoup
Trop de pierr's dans les lentilles
Mais se pendait à mon cou
Quand j'perdais mes billes

Auprès de mon arbre
Je vivais heureux
J'aurais jamais dû
M'éloigner d' mon arbre
Auprès de mon arbre
Je vivais heureux
J'aurais jamais dû
Le quitter des yeux

J'avais un' mansarde
Pour tout logement
Avec des lézardes
Sur le firmament
Je l'savais par cœur depuis
Et pour un baiser la course
J'emmenais mes bell's de nuits
Faire un tour sur la grande ourse
J'habit' plus d' mansarde
Il peut désormais
Tomber des hall'bardes
Je m'en bats l'œil mais
Mais si quelqu'un monte aux cieux
Moins que moi j'y paie des prunes
Y a cent sept ans qui dit mieux
Qu' j'ai pas vu la lune

Auprès de mon arbre
Je vivais heureux
J'aurais jamais dû
M'éloigner d' mon arbre
Auprès de mon arbre
Je vivais heureux
J'aurais jamais dû
Le quitter des yeux

Don't cry, Joe
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Don't cry, Joe
Let her go, let her go, let her go

You got to realise this is the wind-up
You're gonna feel much better once you make your mind up
Don't cry, Joe
Let her go, let her go, let her go

So you lost your gal, it's happened many times before
So you sit and mope like a dope, what's that good for
Get a hold of yourself, forget her, you lived long before you met her
There're lots of other girls, so I say
Don't cry, Joe
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Don't cry Joe
Let her go, let her go, let her go

You got to realise this is the wind-up
You'll feel much better once you make your mind up
Don't cry, Joe
Let her go, let her go, let her go

Take a look around and see just what you're missing
You'd soon forget your troubles if you'd only listen
So don't cry, Joe
Let her go, let her go, Joe, let her go

Just turn your big brown eyes in her direction
You'll find the one that loves you has a real affection for you
Don't cry, Joe
Let her go, let her go, let her go

Listen to me, Joe
Let her go

Au soir de notre amour
Quand tu seras bien vieille
Et quand j'aurai aussi
Des rides autour des yeux
Je sais qu'au fond de moi
Au plus près de ma tombe
Je souffrirai du mal
De ne plus faire l'amour

Au soir de notre vie
Quand nous serons deux ombres
Et quand nos corps flétris
S'endormiront encore
Je sais qu'au fond de moi
Au plus près de ma tombe
Je souffrirai du mal
De te vouloir encore

Et quand, les mains croisées
Je serai seul et sombre
A compter les années
Que je n'ai pas dormi
Je sais qu'au fond de moi
Au plus près de ma tombe
Je souffrirai surtout
De ne plus être un homme...
Un homme

1996 - Non Piangere Per Me Argentina (Madonna)



It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all I've done
You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen, I had to change
Could'nt stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around trying ev'rything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world
They were all I desired
They are illusions
They're not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

Have I said too much?
There's nothing more
I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me
To know that ev'ry word is true

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep my distance
