La Fan Composer(s): Claude Lemesle - Joe Dassin Performer(s): Joe Dassin
Pendant que le chanteur chantait ses pacotilles enviolonnés La fille en coulisse écoutait, émerveillée, abandonnée Mais comment faisait-il sans la connaître pour savoir sa vie par cur? Est-ce qu'il s'était penché à sa fenêtre une nuit en spectacteur?
Pendant que le chanteur dansait ses quatre pas de dérision La fille en coulisse pensait qu'elle était las de ses chansons Oh, si tu savais combien de vrais chagrins Se raccrochent au ciel artificiel de tes refrains
Apres l'après-dernier appel il est allé se rhabiller Dire qu'il était là tout près d'elle derrière la porte verrouillée Savait-il seulement qu'aux heures grises c'est lui qui tenait sa main Qui l'empechait de faire des bêtises en disant: "C'est beau demain"
Pendant que le chanteur rentrait, accompagné d'une imprévue La fille en coulisse rêvait que c'était lui qu'elle avait vu Oh, si tu savais combien de vrais chagrins Se raccrochent au ciel artificiel de tes refrains
Meet me on the corner when the day is through There is such a lot Ive got to say to you Want to tell you all the little things Ive planned And I can do it better if you hold my hand So meet me on the corner when the lights are low We can talk with no one else in sight Though its just an ordinary street Well be in heaven if you meet me on the corner tonight Under the lamp post Meet me on the corner tonight
La Familia, La Propiedad Privada Y El Amor Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
El derrumbe de un sueño algo hallado pasando resultabas ser tú Una esponja sin dueño un silbido buscando resultaba ser yo
Cuando se hallan dos balas sobre un campo de guerra algo debe ocurrir que prediga el amor de cabeza hacia el suelo una nube vendrá o estampidas de tiempo los ojos tendrán
Fue preciso algo siempre y no fue porque tú tenías lazos blancos en la piel tú, tenías precio puesto desde ayer tú, valías cuatro cuños de la ley tú sentada sobre el miedo de correr
Una buena muchacha de casa decente no puede salir que diría la gente el domingo en la misa si saben de ti que dirían los amigo los viejos vecinos que vienen aquí Qué dirían las ventanas tu madre y su hermana y todos los siglos de colonialismo español que no en balde te han hecho cobarde qué diría Dios sin amas sin la Iglesia y sin la ley Dios, a quien ya te entregaste en comunión Dios, que hace eternas las almas de los niños que destrozarán las bombas y el napalm
El derrumbe de un sueño algo hallado pasando resultaba ser yo Una esponja sin dueño un silbido buscando resultabas ser tú
Busca amor con anillos y papeles firmados y cuando dejes de amar ten presentes los hijos no dejes tu esposo ni una buena casa y si no se resisten serruchen los bienes que tienes derecho también porque tú tenías lazos blancos en la piel tú, tenías precio puesto desde ayer tú, valías cuatro cuños de la ley tú sentada sobre el miedo de correr
Dream Police Composer(s): Rick Nielsen
First release by: Cheap Trick - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists
The dream police, they live inside of my head The dream police, they come to me in my bed The dream police, they're coming to arrest me, oh no
You know that talk is cheap, and those rumors ain't nice And when I fall asleep I don't think I'll survive the night, the night
'cause they're waiting for me They're looking for me Ev'ry single night they're driving me insane Those men inside my brain
The dream police, they live inside of my head (live inside of my head) The dream police, they come to me in my bed (come to me in my bed) The dream police, they're coming to arrest me, oh no
Well, I can't tell lies, 'cause they're listening to me And when I fall asleep, bet they're spying on me tonight, tonight
'cause they're waiting for me They're looking for me Ev'ry single night they're driving me insane Those men inside my brain
I try to sleep, they're wide awake, they won't leave me alone They don't get paid to take vacations, or let me alone They spy on me, I try to hide, they won't let me alone They persecute me, they're the judge and jury all in one
'cause they're waiting for me They're looking for me Ev'ry single night they're driving me insane Those men inside my brain
The dream police, they live inside of my head The dream police, they come to me in my bed The dream police, they're coming to arrest me
La Fabrique ((Adapted from: Millworker (by James Taylor) - 1979)) Composer(s): James Taylor - Francis Cabrel - Suzy Gelspen Performer(s): Francis Cabrel - 1984
Mon grand-père était un marin Il a dû mourir sur une île Mon père avait une ferme Et moi je suis sa seule fille Je me suis enfuie avec ce voyou D'un village des alentours Aujourd'hui il s'étouffe dans son alcool Et me laisse seule Avec nos trois gosses à nourrir À la fabrique c'est pas facile C'est pas non plus très dur Mais ce sont ces heures qui défilent Et puis cette horloge sur le mur Le premier rêve qui passe L'aide à tenir jusqu'à midi Où j'ai quelques minutes d'espace Pour prendre un sandwich Boire un café, et m'asseoir Autrement c'est moi et la machine Jusqu'à ce que la sirène le décide Jusqu'au bout de l'après-midi Jusqu'au bout de ma vie Malgré moi mon cur s'en retourne Vers cette maison dans les terres Où j'ai passé tant d'années d'amour À danser sur les bras de mon père Ces histoires de marins perdus Ces orages sur le lac Erié Ces navires à jamais disparus Avec leurs voiles grandes Comme des morceaux de ciel Oui mais c'est ma vie qui a été gâchée Et c'est moi qui ai eu tort De laisser cette fabrique Pour bien utiliser mon corps Moi je vais rentrer chez moi ce soir Je vais regarder mes mains Je vais me dire qu'au moins une fois J'aurais aimé avoir la chance D'aller plus loin Mais je vais travailler ici Et oublier tout ce que je souhaite Peut-être ne jamais rencontrer L'homme dont le nom Est sur l'étiquette Ce sera moi ou la machine Jusqu'à ce que la sirène le décide Jusqu'au bout de l'après-midi Jusqu'au bout de ma vie
Dream On Composer(s): Dennis Lambert - Brian Potter
Performer(s): The Oak Ridge Boys; The Righteous Brothers
Lay your head down on my shoulder
I won't let the night get colder
I'll protect you, I'll be keeping
Trouble far from where you're sleeping
Until you wake in the morning
You've got the world to yourself
Dream on
Dream about the world we're gonna live in one fine day
Dream on
Spend the night in heaven
I'll be here to light your way
Someday tomorrow we'll smile
But little girl in the meanwhile
Dream on
You're a princess, chains around you
I'm the hero who just found you
'Til a brand new day must wake you
Let imagination take you
Go where the music is playing
I'll be along in a while
Dream on
Dream about the world we're gonna live in one fine day
Dream on
Spend the night in heaven
I'll be here to light your way
Someday tomorrow we'll smile
But little girl in the meanwhile
Dream on
Dream on
Dream about the world we're gonna live in one fine day
Dream on
Spend the night in heaven
I'll be here to light your way
S61o una lágrima lame el cristal el sexo frío de la soledad todas las hachas de un trozo de pan lanza David una estrella a Goliat dame tu mano y echemos a andar Dios se retrata contra Satanás Siempre lo mismo pero con distinta voz siglo tras siglo es la eterna canción... Nunca se olvida la primera vez «quieres helado de fresa o café» bebe Caín de la sangre de Abel el mal a veces se lo hace muy bien el tiempo escapa para no volver tuvo la suerte de huir de sus pies Siempre lo mismo... Me falta el aire si me faltas tú de tus pupilas tomaba la luz una muñeca desnuda de azul pájaro dulce de la juventud una canción puede ser un obús o la caricia de un viento del sur Siempre lo mismo...

Every time when I look in the mirror All these lines on my face getting clearer The past is gone it went by, like dusk to dawn Isn't that the way Everybody's got the dues in life to pay
I know nobody knows where it comes and where it goes I know it's everybody sin You got to lose to know how to win
Half my life is books written pages live and love from fools and from sages You know it's true,OH All these things come back to you
Sing with me, sing for the years Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears Sing with me, just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away
Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year sing for the laughter, sing for the tear sing with me, just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Sing with me, sing for the year sing for the laughter, sing for the tear sing with me,just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away Sing with me, sing for the year sing for the laughter, sing for the tear Sing with me, just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Dream Of Olwen Composer(s): Charles Williams - Winifred May
Performer(s): Reggie Goff
and multiple other artists
Olwen, I hear you call to me At moonrise across a golden sea Softly the waves make melody To wake all my song of memory Olwen come to me I implore Tell me where shall I find you Olwen till the stars shine no more True unto you I shall be
Deep is the blue that veils the night The light in the west has faded But I must pursue till dawn breaks through The dream I am dreaming of you, beloved
Olwen in the wings of the wind Fondly your voice is calling Calling from a world far apart And strangely you seem To answer the dream in my heart
Pedro The Fisherman Composer(s): Harold Purcell - Harry Parr Davies Performer(s): Gracie Fields and multiple other artists
Pedro the fisherman was always whistling such a merry call Girls who were passing by would hear him whistling by the harbour wall But his sweetheart, Nina, who loved him true, always knew That his song belonged to her alone And in the evening when the lights were gleaming and they had to part As he sailed his boat away, echoing across the bay Came the tune that lingered in her heart
But days of dreaming quickly pass and life goes rushing on And one day from the harbour wall she found his boat had gone He'd sailed away to find the gold the sea could never bring To buy a dress, a cuckoo clock, a saucepan and a ring She kept her eyes on the blue horizon, but he didn't return She stopped her sighing and left off crying but he didn't return
One day her father said to her "Oh dearest daughter mine You'll never make a lot from fish, you make much more from wine Tho' Miguel is rather fat, his vineyard's doing well So marry him and let your dreams of Pedro go to hell" The organ peals, the choir boys sing The priest is ready with the book and ring So small and white here comes the bride And stands by the swarthy Miguel's side
Will you have this man to be your lawful wedded spouse eternally? And suddenly the church is still; they wait to hear her say "I will" When through the open doorway there a far off sound disturbs the air
Suddenly she found her man; from the church out she ran There he was upon the harbour wall Down rushed the wedding guests upon the quayside, but the bride had gone As with love she sailed away, echoing across the bay Came the happy ending to her song
Dream Of A Child Composer(s): David Forman
Performer(s): Burton Cummings
When I was a boy I dreamed of Phillip Marlowe He took me as his partner took me as his friend Gave me his fedora gave me shotgun fever Took me as his partner to the end
When I was a boy I dreamed I was a jeweler With a family business that was free and clear Selling golden earrings to Mrs Mickey Mantle Trying to be gentle while I stuck it in her ear
The dream of a child, the song of a man The key and the time are at his command The dream of a child the song of a man The key and the time are at his command
When I was a boy I dreamed I saved my sister From the Rosicrucians for the love of God I threw myself among them slaughtering their numbers Striking at their laughter crying so hard
The dream of a child the song of a man The key and the time are at this command The dream of a child the song of a man The key and the time are at his command
When I was a boy I dreamed that Elvis Presley Was standing on the corner kissing Brenda Lee Mama always told me love was made in Heaven Tell me how my best friend could steal my love from me I love Brenda Lee - Brenda Lee loves me
Nobody's Darlin' But Mine Composer(s): Jimmie Davis Performer(s): Jimmie Davis and multiple other artists
Be nobody's darlin' but mine, love Be honest and faithful, be kind And promise me that you will never Be nobody's darlin' but mine! (but mine)

Come sit by my side, little darlin', (oh my darlin') Come lay your cool hands on my brow I'm taking a long weary journey, (oh my darlin') So give your last kiss to me now! (oh my darlin')
So this is goodbye little darlin' My heart breaks to leave you behind And promise me that you will never Be nobody's darlin' but mine (mine, all mine)
A New Love Is Old Composer(s): Jerome Kern - Otto A. Harbach Performer(s): Jerome Kern; Georges Metaxa
She brings you a new smile For new lovers do smile She tends you a new smile A new love is told She brings you some new thrills Some tender and true thrills but after a few thrills Your new love is old!
When she makes signs at you and you realise that you adore her And when you understand sweet arms full of wonder stand before you Take what she offers and be gay Love hates a man who runs away! Hearts ache and lips can smile At thoughts that recall another day
She brings you a new smile For new lovers do smile She tends you a new smile A new love is told She brings you some new thrills Some tender and true thrills but after a few thrills Your new love is old!
She brings you some new thrills Some tender and true thrills but after a few thrills Your new love is old!
Dream Lover ((French Version: J'ai Rêvé (Dalida))
Composer(s): Bobby Darin
First release by: Bobby Darin - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists
Every night I hope and pray A dream lover will come my way A girl to hold in my arms And know the magic of her charms 'Cause I want a girl to call my own I want a dream lover So I don't have to dream alone
Dream lover, where are you With a love, oh, so true? And I hand that can hold To feel you near as I grow old? 'Cause I want a girl to call my own I want a dream lover So I don't have to dream alone
Someday, I don't know how I hope she'll hear my plea Some way, I don't know how She'll bring her love to me
Dream lover, until then I'll go to sleep and dream again That's the only thing to do Till all my lover's dreams come true 'Cause I want a girl to call my own I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone
Please don't make me dream alone I beg you don't make me dream alone
I used to think that I was just a no-count I used to think that I would get nowhere But then I learned that when I'm feelin' low down I'm back up on my feet if I remember all my dreams
I used to get to feeling so downhearted I used to even hate the color green But every time I think I can't get started I think of all my dreams and then I'm right back on the beam
You've got to dream for your inspiration Dream of what you can do Cause with your dreams and some perspiration Anything within your dreaming is within your reach
I used to think that I was nothing special That I was just another pretty face But now I know that I will be successful If I always do just what I really want to do
Dream of your secret wishes Dream of your highest hopes 'Cause if you dream You can make your dreams come true
When you've fin'lly decided Things aren't as bad as they seem You just can't deny it Where there's a will there's a dream
Dream for your inspiration Dream of what you can do 'Cause if you dream You can make your dreams come true You've got to dream, dream, dream
La Escalera Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Iba silbando mi trino por una calle cualquiera cuando a un lado del camino me encontré con la escalera Era una escala sencilla de rústico enmaderado desde la calle amarilla hasta el rojo de un tejado
¿Qué se verá desde el techo? dijo la voz de un extraño y sin meditar el trecho le puse afán al peldaño La brisa me acompañaba en el ascenso del alma y mi camisa volaba junto al sinsonte y la palma
Mientras más ganaba altura la calle me parecía más pequeña, menos dura como de juguetería Y sucedió de repente que después de alimentarme con la visión diferente sólo quedaba bajarme
Dejé la altura en su calma dejé el cielo en su horizonte siguió batiendo la palma siguió volando el sinsonte Me encontré con la escalera cuando a un lado del camino por una calle cualquiera iba silbando mi trino
