La Baya Composer(s): Marcel Heurtebise - Henri Christiné Performer(s): Suzy Delair and multiple other artists
Un jeune officier de marine Un soir rencontra dans Pékin Une petite Chinoise divine Qu'on promenait en palanquin En l'apercevant la toute belle Arrêta bien vite ses porteurs "Mon gentil petit Français, dit-elle Veux-tu connaître le bonheur!"
Chin', Chin', Chin', Chin' Viens voir comme en Chine On sait aimer au pays bleu Chin', Chin', Chin', Chin' Je serai câline Si tu veux bien m'aimer un peu Tous deux nous ferons un joli duo Oh! Oh! Oh! Timélou, lamélou, pan pan timéla Paddy lamélou, concodou la Baya! Timélou, lamélou, pan pan timéla Paddy lamélou, concodou la Baya!
Dans une tour de porcelaine Se rendirent les amoureux Et pendant toute une semaine Ils vécurent des jours heureux! La petite Chinoise folichonne Savait très bien charmer son amant Et de sa voix la plus polissonne Elle répétait au bon moment
Chin', Chin', Chin', Chin' Voilà comme en Chine On sait aimer au pays bleu Chin', Chin', Chin', Chin' Extase divine Qu'il est charmant ce petit jeu Répétons encore ce joli duo Oh! Oh! Oh! Timélou, lamélou, pan pan timéla Paddy lamélou, concodou la Baya! Timélou, lamélou, pan pan timéla Paddy lamélou, concodou la Baya!
Avant de partir pour la France Le marin dit à la mousmé "Je suis ravi de ta science De ton amour je suis charmé! Dis-moi maintenant chère petite Qui donc aussi bien t'apprit l'amour? Est-ce un Japonais, un Annamite? "Mais non" fit-elle sans détour
Chin', Chin', Chin', Chin' Je n'suis pas d'la Chine Je suis née au quartier latin Et j'ai fait La danse serpentine Pendant six mois à Tabarin C'est là que j'ai appris mon petit numéro Oh! Oh! Oh! Timélou, lamélou, pan pan timéla Paddy lamélou, concodou la Baya! Timélou, lamélou, pan pan timéla Paddy lamélou, concodou la Baya!
Don't Take Your Guns To Town Composer(s): Johnny Cash Originally performed by: Johnny Cash Covered by various other artists
A young cowboy named Billy Joe Grew restless on the farm A boy filled with wanderlust Who really meant no harm He changed his clothes and shined his boots And combed his dark hair down And his mother cried as he walked out
Refrain: "Don't take your guns to town, son Leave your guns at home, Bill Don't take your guns to town"
He sang a song as on he rode His guns hung at his hips He rode into a cattle town A smile upon his lips He stopped and walked into a bar and laid his money down But his mother's words echoed again
Refrain: "Don't take your guns to town, son Leave your guns at home, Bill Don't take your guns to town"
He drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hand And tried to tell himself at last he had become a man A dusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down And he heard again his mother's words
Refrain: "Don't take your guns to town, son Leave your guns at home, Bill Don't take your guns to town"
Bill was raged and Billy Joe reached for his gun to draw But the stranger drew his gun and fired before he even saw As Billy Joe fell to the floor the crowd all gathered 'round And wondered at his final words
Refrain: "Don't take your guns to town, son Leave your guns at home, Bill Don't take your guns to town"
Don't Take Me Alive
Composer(s): Walter Becker - Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan
Agents of the law Luckless pedestrian I know you're out there With rage in your eyes and your megaphones Saying all is forgiven Mad Dog surrender How can I answer A man of my mind can do anything
Chorus: I'm a bookkeeper's son I don't want to shoot no one Well I crossed my old man back in Oregon Don't take me alive Got a case of dynamite I could hold out here all night Yes I crossed my old man back in Oregon Don't take me alive
Can you hear the evil crowd The lies and the laughter I hear my inside The mechanized hum of another world Where no sun is shining No red light flashing Here in this darkness I know what I've done I know all at once who I am
La Barca Composer(s): L. Beretta - Adriano Celentano - Vito Pallavicini - G. Santercole Performer(s): Adriano Celentano
Mattino di sole sulla barca sperduti nel mare io e lei la scema e' li' che si riposa io remo pensando ai fatti miei sarebbe il momento proprio giusto rovescio la barca e lei va giu' ma dopo da solo cosa faccio io senza di lei non vivo piu'

oh oh oh oh oh...
due piccole onde la svegliano piano non parla mi guarda coss'ha? se certo non fossi che lei mi vuol bene direi che la pelle mi vuol far son cose nanche da pensar son bravo a nuotare e lei lo sa non so cosa ho fatto piu' che remare stasera se vuole la porto anche al nigh
Don't Take It So Hard Composer(s): Mark Lindsay Performer(s): Paul Revere & The Raiders
I've tried to let you down so easy I'd like to still be just a friend We shared such memories together But all good things come to an end
You should not take it so hard You should not take it so hard You should not take it so hard You should not take it so hard You should not take it so hard You should not take it so hard
You wonder when you are going to see me I might just pass this way again Until then don't you wait up for me Cause now I'm getting in the wind Don't you remember what I told you from the start When people fall in love too much It can cause a broken heart that won't mend easy But if you just wait sometime I may come walking to you in the sunshine

Don't Take Away The Music
Composer(s): Freddie Perren - Keni St. Lewis - C. Yarian - Fred T. Tavares
Performer(s): Tavares; The Eurobeats
Don't take away the music
It's the only thing I've got
It's my piece of the rock
I knew you were always there
You were my song
How am I suppossed to bear it
Now that you've gone
Would you separate the words
Memories from a sweet melody
Baby would you take away
The music from a symphony
Don't take away the music
It's the only thing i've got
It's my piece of the rock
Don't take away the music
Everything else is gone
Don't strip my world of it's song
Everytime you whispered low
My heart would sing
Now it's silent like the phone
The phone that never rings
Memories of love's refrain
Memories keep haunting me
What are we doing to the song we sang
What happend to our sweet harmony
Don't take away the music
It's the only thing I've got
It's my piece of the rock
Don't take away the music
Everything else is gone
Don't strip my world of it's song
Don't take my music (uh, uh, uh)
Don't take my music (uh, uh, uh)
Don't take my music (uh, uh, uh)
Don't take my music (uh, uh, uh)

Don't Sweetheart Me
Composer(s): Charles Tobias - Cliff Friend
Performer(s): Donald Peers
and multiple other artists
Don't sweetheart me if you don't mean it Don't talk sweet words if they're not true Don't tear my heart like it was paper Because my heart loves only you
You can't go round sweethearting others And then pretend that I'm yours exclusively Love must be true, mean what you're saying Unless you do, don't sweetheart me
Sweethearts a word you use too lightly Its more than just a word to me And darling I resent it slightly So hold that kiss, remember this
Don't sweetheart me if you don't mean it Don't talk sweet words if they're not true Don't tear my heart like it was paper Because my heart loves only you
You can't go round sweethearting others And then pretend that I'm yours exclusively Love must be true, mean what you're saying Unless you do, don't sweetheart me
You can't go round sweethearting others And then pretend that I'm yours exclusively Love must be true, mean what you're saying Unless you do, don't you ever sweetheart me
Quisiera olvidar tu forma de amar quedarme solo y volver atrás para saber si puedo comenzar
Con la bandita de jazz me iré yo a viajar y en muchos pueblos nos van a esperar La carretera ayuda a olvidar
Ya no quiero más tu forma de amar pequeña bruja de la gran ciudad Ahora no podrás reír porque yo voy con mi banda de jazz de aquí para allá haciendo todo lo que me gusta más cantando en plazas o en un carnaval
Y si tú quieres venir no lo pienses más toma tu escoba y deja la ciudad La carretera ayuda a olvidar
Podremos soñar podremos viajar Serás la estrella que viene a alumbrar las noches cuando va a tocar nuestra bandita de jazz

La Bande À Bonnot Composer(s): F.T. Thomas - J.M. Rivat - Joe Dassin Performer(s): Joe Dassin
À la Société Générale Une auto démarra et dans la terreur La bande à Bonnot mit les voiles Emportant la sacoche du garçon payeur Dans la De Dion-Bouton qui cachait les voleurs Octave comptait les gros billets et les valeurs Avec Raymond-la-Science les bandits en auto C'était la bande à Bonnot
Les banques criaient "Misérables!" Quand s'éloignait le bruit du puissant moteur Comment rattrapper les coupables Qui fuyaient à toute allure à trente-cinq à l'heure Sur les routes de France, hirondelles et gendarmes Etaient à leurs trousses, étaient nuit et jour en alarme En casquette à visière, les bandits en auto C'était la bande à Bonnot
Mais Bonnot rêvait des palaces Et du ciel d'azur de Monte-Carlo En fait il voulait vite se ranger des voitures
Mais un beau matin la police Encercla la maison de Jules Bonnot A Choisy, avec ses complices Qui prenaient dans sa chambre un peu de repos Tout Paris arriva à pied, en tram et en train Avec des fusils, des pistolets et des gourdins Hurlant des balcons, les bandits en auto C'était la bande à Bonnot
Et menottes aux mains Tragique destin Alors pour la dernière course On mit dans le fourgon la bande à Bonnot

So don't stop the music I don't ever wanna say goodbye I'd never thought That I could hold her Though many times I tried I never thought I would see that look in her eyes

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 la..la..la..la..la..la..la la..la..la..la..la..la..la 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...
