Una tristezza così
non la sentivo da mai
ma poi la banda arrivò
e allora tutto passò
volevo dire di no
quando la banda passò
ma il mio ragazzo era lì
e allora dissi di si
e una ragazza che era triste
sorrise all'amor
ed una rosa che era chiusa
di colpo sbocciò
ed una flotta di bambini festosi
si mise a suonare come fa la banda
e un uomo serio il suo cappello
per aria lanciò
fermò una donna che passava
e poi la baciò
dalle finestre quanta gente spuntò
quando la banda passò
cantando pace ed amor
Quando la banda passò
nel cielo il sole spuntò
e il mio ragazzo era lì
e io gli dissi di si
La banda suona per noi
La banda suona per voi
la..la..la..la..la..la..la
la..la..la..la..la..la..la
E tanta gente dai portoni
cantando sbucò
e tanta gente in ogni vicolo
si riversò
e per la strada
quella povera gente marcia felice
dietro la sua banda
Se c'era uomo che piangeva
sorrise perché
sembrava proprio che la banda
suonasse per lui
in ogni cuore la speranza spuntò
quando la banda passò
cantando cose d'amor
La banda suona per noi
La banda suona per voi
la..la..la..la..la..la..la
la..la..la..la..la..la..la
La banda suona per noi
La banda suona per voi
la..la..la..la..la..la..la

Je n'faisais rien de ma vie
Quand mon amour m'appela
Lorsque la banda passa
J'entends des chansons d'amour

Je voulais lui dire non
Pourtant je lui ai dit oui
Lorsque la banda passa
J'entends des chansons d'amour

L'homme sérieux qui comptait son argent s'est arrêté
Le ventard qui ne pensait qu'à bluffer s'est arrêté
Des amoureux qui comptaient des étoiles par là
Se sont écartés quand passa la banda
La fille triste oublia son chagrin et puis sourit
La rose triste qui vivait fermée bientôt s'ouvrit
Et les enfants ont couru comme toujours
Lorsque la banda passa
J'entends des chansons d'amour

Je n'faisais rien de ma vie
Quand mon amour m'appela
Lorsque la banda passa
J'entends des chansons d'amour
La banda a joué pour moi
La banda a joué pour toi
La banda a joué toujours
Toujours des chansons d'amour

L'homme âgé a oublié qu'il était très fatigué
Il s'est senti des ailes et bientôt s'est mis à danser
La fille vilaine est soudain devenue belle
En pensant que la banda jouait pour elle

La marche gaie dans Coppacabana s'éparpilla
La pleine lune qui vivait bien cachée se montra
La ville entière dansait sur son carrefour
Lorsque la banda passa
J'entends des chansons d'amour

Pour mon désenchantement
Bientôt se fut terminé
Tout redevint comme avant
Lorsque l'été fut passé
La banda jouait pour moi
La banda jouait pour toi
la la la...

La banda s'en est allée
J'entends des chansons d'amour
La banda s'en est allée
J'entends des chansons d'amour
la la la...

La Bambola
Composer(s): Bruno Zambrini - Franco Migliacci - M. Jourdan
Performer(s): Dalida



Une Bambola c'est une poupée
C'est fragile une bambola
Tous les garçons qui te surnomment ainsi
Fillettes se moquent de toi

A leurs yeux tu n'es qu'une poupée
Ton cœur pour eux est qu'un jouet
Qu'un jour ils vont briser

Comme une poupée désarticulée
Se retrouve une bambola
Je le sais crois-moi
J'étais avant toi
Moi aussi une bambola

Ceux qui vont te serrer dans leurs bras
Et te mentir plus que tu crois
Ne les écoute pas

Non, fillette, non
L'amour c'est mieux que ça
C'est plus grand, plus fort crois-moi
Et tu le reconnaîtras
Quand il viendra

Ça danse en riant
Mais comme une enfant
C'est fragile une bambola
Fillette crois-moi
N'oublie surtout pas
Que ça pleure une bambola

Ceux qui vont te serrer dans leurs bras
Et te mentir plus que tu crois
Ne les écoutes pas

Non, fillette, non
L'amour c'est mieux que ça
C'est plus grand plus fort crois-moi
Et tu le reconnaîtras
Quand il viendra

Non, fillette, non
L'amour c'est mieux que ça
C'est plus grand, plus fort crois-moi
Et tu le reconnaîtras
Quand il viendra

Your lips are warmer than a fire
Just on burning kiss fills me with desire
And it would drive me mad if you should stop it now
'Cause I never ever had a girl like this before

Crazy 'bout you baby (mad about you darling)
Keep on giving it to me
'Cause I'm mad about you darling
Don't stop it now
Give me give me all you can
'Cause I need you now much more than I ever had
And I want more and more if I can get it
Baby your sweet sweet kind of love I've got to have it
Keep on giving it to me...
Darling-mad about you darling don't stop it now
This night must last forever and if you leave me now
You'll only break my heart don't stop it now

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feeling
Streetlight people
Oh-oh-woah
Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlight people
Oh-oh-Woah
Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin', somewhere in the night
Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win
Some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin', somewhere in the night
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights, people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlights, people

Well you bit my lip and drew first blood
And warmed my cold, cold heart
And your wrote your name right on my back
Boy your nails were sharp

Don't stop
Honey don't stop
Don't stop
Baby don't stop

Well I love your screams of passion
In the long hot summer night
But you pepper me with poison darts
And twisted in your knife

Don't stop
Honey don't stop
Don't stop
Baby don't stop

Well the only thing I ask of you
Is to hand me back some pride
Don't you dump me on some dusty street
And hang me out to dry

Ah, don't stop
Honey don't stop
Baby don't stop
Baby don't stop
Ah Honey

I'm losing you
I know your heart is miles away
There's a whisper there where once there was a storm
And all that's left is that image that I'll find a way
And some memories have tattered as they've torn

Don't stop
Don't stop
Baby don't stop
Baby don't stop
Honey Honey (don't stop)
Baby don't stop
Baby don't stop
Come on honey don't stop
Play on baby
Don't stop
Baby baby don't stop
Ah honey don't stop
Don't ya stop

I know I got ya some picture that I filed away
Honey don't stop 
Don't you stop

Era partito per fare la guerra
per dare il suo aiuto alla sua terra
gli avevano dato le mostrine e le stelle
e il consiglio di vender cara la pelle
e quando gli dissero di andare avanti
troppo lontano si spinsero a cercare la verità
ora che è morto la patria si gloria
d'un altro eroe alla memoria
era partito per fare la guerra
per dare il suo aiuto alla sua terra
gli avevano dato le mostrine e le stelle
e il consiglio di vender cara la pelle
ma lei che lo amava aspettava il ritorno
d'un soldato vivo, d'un eroe morto che ne farà
se accanto nel letto le è rimasta la gloria
d'una medaglia alla memoria

If you wake up and don't want to smile
If it takes just a little while
Open your eyes and look at the day
You'll see things in a different way

Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be, better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone

Why not think about times to come
And not about the things that you've done
If your life was bad to you
Just think what tomorrow will do

Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be, better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone

All I want is to see you smile
If it takes just a little while
I know you don't believe that it's true
I never meant any harm to you

Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be, better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone

Don't you look back
Don't you look back

La Ballata Del Michè
Composer(s): Fabrizio De André - Clelia Petracchi
First release by: Fabrizio - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists



Quando hanno aperto la cella
era già tardi perché
con una corda al collo
freddo pendeva Michè
tutte le volte che un gallo
sento cantar penserò
a quella notte in prigione
quando Michè s'impiccò
stanotte Michè
s'è impiccato a un chiodo perché
non voleva restare vent'anni in prigione
lontano da te
nel buio Michè se n'è andato sapendo che a te
non poteva mai dire che aveva ammazzato
soltanto per te
io so che Michè
ha voluto morire perché
ti restasse il ricordo del bene profondo
che aveva per te
vent'anni gli avevano dato
la corte decise così
perché un giorno aveva ammazzato
chi voleva rubargli Marì
l'avevan perciò condannato
vent'anni in prigione a marcir
però adesso che lui s'è impiccato
la porta gli devono aprir
se pure Michè
non ti ha scritto spiegando perché
se n'è andato dal mondo tu sai che l' ha fatto
soltanto per te
domani alle tre
nella fossa comune sarà
senza il prete e la messa perché d'un suicida
non hanno pietà
domani Michè
nella terra bagnata sarà
e qualcuno una croce col nome la data
su lui pianterà
e qualcuno una croce col nome e la data
su lui pianterà

Don't Stay Too Long
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb - Don Whitney
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



Don’t Stay too Long cause I’m too lonesome
Don’t Stay too Long cause I’m too blue
When you’re away I’m so down hearted
Don’t Stay too Long cause I love you

When you are here I’m so contented
Each minute is a joy for me
But when you go my heart starts crying
My darling wont you heed my plea

(Ah Billy Byrd now)

Your letters come but I’m still so lonely
Cause letters can’t erase my tears
In dreams I have my arms around you
The days and nights now seem like years

I walked the floor and think about you
I just can’t think a thing to do
But when you’re near my life’s a pleasure
I can’t get by if I can’t have you

Don’t Stay too Long cause I’m too lonesome
Don’t Stay too Long cause I’m too blue
When you’re away I’m so down hearted
Don’t Stay too Long 'cause I love you

La Ballade Des Gens Qui Sont Nés Quelque Part
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
Performer(s): Georges Brassens; Tarmac



C'est vrai qu'ils sont plaisants tous ces petits villages
Tous ces bourgs, ces hameaux, ces lieux-dits, ces cités
Avec leurs châteaux forts, leurs églises, leurs plages
Ils n'ont qu'un seul point faible et c'est être habités
Et c'est être habités par des gens qui regardent
Le reste avec mépris du haut de leurs remparts
La race des chauvins, des porteurs de cocardes
Les imbéciles heureux qui sont nés quelque part
Les imbéciles heureux qui sont nés quelque part

Maudits soient ces enfants de leur mère patrie
Empalés une fois pour toutes sur leur clocher
Qui vous montrent leurs tours leurs musées leur mairie
Vous font voir du pays natal jusqu'à loucher
Qu'ils sortent de Paris ou de Rome ou de Sète
Ou du diable vauvert ou bien de Zanzibar
Ou même de Montcuq il s'en flattent mazette
Les imbéciles heureux qui sont nés quelque part
Les imbéciles heureux qui sont nés quelque part

Le sable dans lequel douillettes leurs autruches
Enfouissent la tête on trouve pas plus fin
Quand à l'air qu'ils emploient pour gonfler leurs baudruches
Leurs bulles de savon c'est du souffle divin
Et petit à petit les voilà qui se montent
Le cou jusqu'à penser que le crottin fait par
Leurs chevaux même en bois rend jaloux tout le monde
Les imbéciles heureux qui sont nés quelque part
Les imbéciles heureux qui sont nés quelque part

C'est pas un lieu commun celui de leur connaissance
Ils plaignent de tout cœur les petits malchanceux
Les petits maladroits qui n'eurent pas la présence
La présence d'esprit de voir le jour chez eux
Quand sonne le tocsin sur leur bonheur précaire
Contre les étrangers tous plus ou moins barbares
Ils sortent de leur trou pour mourir à la guerre
Les imbéciles heureux qui sont nés quelque part
Les imbéciles heureux qui sont nés quelque part

Mon dieu qu'il ferait bon sur la terre des hommes
Si on y rencontrait cette race incongrue
Cette race importune et qui partout foisonne
La race des gens du terroir des gens du cru
Que la vie serait belle en toutes circonstances
Si vous n'aviez tiré du néant tous ces jobards
Preuve peut-être bien de votre inexistence
Les imbéciles heureux qui sont nés quelque part
Les imbéciles heureux qui sont nés quelque part

Don't Stay Away Too Long
Performer(s): Peters & Lee



It’s time that you were going
And there’s no way of knowing
How long we’ll be apart
Wherever life may lead you
Remember how I need you
Keep our love locked in your heart, wo-oh, wo-oh

Jet plane flying high above me
Don’t stay away too long
Come back darling, say you love me
Don’t stay away too long
Tell me you’ll be thinking of me
Each time you hear this song

We’ll love again, some other day
Don’t stay away too long

I miss you every minute
My world without you in it
Is such an empty place 
When days bring rainy weather
As long as we’re together
There is nothing we can’t face

wo-oh, wo-oh

Jet plane flying high above me
Don’t stay away too long
Come back darling, say you love me
Don’t stay away too long
Tell me you’ll be thinking of me
Each time you hear this song

We’ll love again, some other day
Don’t stay away too long

wo-oh, wo-oh

Jet plane flying high above me
Don’t stay away too long
Come back darling, say you love me
Don’t stay away too long
Tell me you’ll be thinking of me
Each time you hear this song

We’ll love again, some other day
Don’t stay away too long

Aan alle mensen hier op deze aarde
Geniet een lach, kijk niet zo bedrukt
Ik zing voor jullie de ballade
De ballade van het geluk

Ik hou van koren en kathedralen
Van chansonniers, zittend op een kruk
Ik zing met hen graag de ballade
De ballade van het geluk
Ik zing met hen graag de ballade
De ballade van het geluk...

Don't Stand So Close To Me
Composer(s): Sting
First release by: The Police - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists



Young teacher the subject of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly, knows what she wants to be
Inside her there's longing
This girl is an open page
Book marking she's so close now
This girl is half his age
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
Her friends are so jealous 
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes its not so easy
To be the teachers pet
Temptation, frustration so bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop she's waiting
His car is warm and dry
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
Loose, talk, in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staff room
The accusations fly
It's no use he sees her
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in that book by Nabakov
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
