Baby Doll
Composer(s): Jerry Crutchfield - Don Earl
Performer(s): Barbara Fairchild
Mama's smile, Daddy's knee Bedtime stories that they'd read No long and lonely sleepless nights No wondering who was wrong or right When I was Baby Doll
Merry-go-rounds and puppet shows Cigar rings and frilly ribbon bows No talk of you all over town Or my heart in pieces on the ground When I was Baby Doll
Baby Doll Back when I was Baby Doll Full of smiles and make-believe I wish now I was still a baby doll And you weren't all I'd ever love or need
High heel shoes and dress-up things No grown up blues, no waiting games My teddy loved me all the time And never once changed his mind When I was Baby Doll
Baby Doll Back when I was Baby Doll Full of smiles and make-believe I wish now I was still a baby doll And you weren't all I'd ever love or need
La Nuit Crie Au Secours ((Adapted from: Every Time I Think Of You (by The Babys) - 1979)) Composer(s): Ray Kennedy - Jack Conrad - Georges Terme Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday - 1981
Quand la nuit crie au secours Qui pourrait l'écouter Son cur bat comme un sourd Mais personne ne le sait
Une fille passe dans le noir Belle et fragile Elle sait bien que tout espoir Est inutile
Je voudrais maudire Tous ceux qui ne l'ont pas aimé Je voudrais lui dire Ce que nul ne dira jamais
Quand la nuit crie au secours Quand la nuit crie au secours Quelqu'un a besoin d'amour
Le temps passe et la nuit meurt Avec le petit jour Au matin il a toujours Une fille qui pleure
Elle attendra jusqu'au soir Pour revenir La nuit est seule à pouvoir La retenir
Je voudrais maudire Tous ceux qui ne l'ont pas aimé Je voudrais lui dire Ce que nul ne dira jamais
Quand la nuit crie au secours Quand la nuit crie au secours Quelqu'un a besoin d'amour
Quand la nuit crie au secours Qui lui répond Ceux qui ne vivent que le jour Sont sans pardon
Je voudrais maudire Tous ceux qui ne l'ont pas aimé Je voudrais lui dire Ce que nul ne dira jamais
Quand la nuit crie au secours Quand la nuit crie au secours Quand la nuit crie au secours Quelqu'un a besoin d'amour
Baby Doll
Composer(s): Bernie Hanighen - Kenyon Hopkins
Performer(s): Andy Williams
(That baby doll) Oooohh!!
(Look out for her) Ba-a-a-aby doll
(Especially) Hmmmmmm!!
(The amateur)
There's many a guy who'll sing you these blues
His dream was a lie, his heart's in his shoes
He wasn't so green, in ways he was smart
Till she hit the scene and she took him apart
He'll tell you as plain as day
"Keep away from ba-a-a-a-a-a-aby doll"
(That baby doll)
(Look out for her)
You'll see in her eyes the warning you should
You oughta be ooh-eyed, she'll lose you but good
As long as she's warm, the livin' is sweet
Then she'll raise a storm, an' you're back on the street
You might as well know, my friend, that's the end
You're cooked, you're through
(My friend, you're through)
(You're cooked, you're through)
She was my baby doll and she'll do the same to you
(That baby doll)
(Look out for her)
La Nuit À Paris Composer(s): Michel Berger Performer(s): France Gall
Le monde est sans souci Dit un financier averti Entre un cognac et un whisky Et son portefeuille le grossit La chance me sourit Se dit une fille plutôt jolie Qui comme tous les soirs se choisit Un endroit où passer la nuit
La nuit à Paris On s'amuse et on rit Sur des airs d'aujourd'hui La nuit à Paris On boit et on oublie Le monde d'aujourd'hui
Moi je vous parie Dit un écrivain réussi Que si l'on veut mettre le prix On peut tout avoir dans la vie Je suis sûr que oui Dit un faiseur de mélodies Qui tut ce qu'il avait en lui Pour des airs qui l'ont enrichi
La nuit à Paris On s'amuse et on rit Sur des airs d'aujourd'hui La nuit à Paris On boit et on oublie Le monde d'aujourd'hui
Allons-nous-en d'ici Dit une femme à son mari Qui dévore de ses yeux vert-gris Les filles avec mélancolie Oui, j'ai raté ma vie Se dit un journaliste aigri Renvoyé pour avoir écrit Ce qu'il devait garder pour lui
La nuit à Paris On s'amuse et on rit Sur des airs d'aujourd'hui La nuit à Paris On boit et on oublie Le monde d'aujourd'hui

La Noyée Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg; Anna Karina
Tu t'en vas à la dérive Sur la rivière du souvenir Et moi, courant sur la rive Je te crie de revenir Mais, lentement, tu t'éloignes Et dans ma course éperdue Peu à peu, je te regagne Un peu de terrain perdu
De temps en temps, tu t'enfonces Dans le liquide mouvant Ou bien, frôlant quelques ronces Tu hésites et tu m'attends En te cachant la figure Dans ta robe retroussée De peur que ne te défigurent Et la honte et les regrets
Tu n'es plus qu'une pauvre épave Chienne crevée au fil de l'eau Mais je reste ton esclave Et plonge dans le ruisseau Quand le souvenir s'arrête Et l'océan de l'oubli Brisant nos curs et nos têtes À jamais, nous réunit

La Notte ((French & Spanish Versions: La Nuit (by Salvatore Adamo); La Noche (by Raphael)) Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo; Mina
Se il giorno posso non pensarti la notte maledico te e quando infine spunta l'alba c'e' solo il vuoto intorno a me La notte tu mi appari immensa, invano tento di afferrarti ma ti diverti a tormentarmi, la notte tu mi fai impazzir La notte mi fai impazzir, mi fai impazzir
E la tua voce fende il buio, dove cercarti? Non lo so!... Ti vedo e torna la speranza, ti voglio tanto bene ancor Per un istante riappari, mi chiami e tendi le mani ma il mio sangue si fa ghiaccio quando ridendo ti allontani La notte mi fai impazzir, mi fai impazzir
Il giorno splende in piena pace e la tua immagine scompar Felice tu ritrovi l'altro, quell'altro che mi fa impazzir La notte mi fai impazzir, mi fai impazzir

La Nostalgie Camarade Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Qu'est-ce qui t'as pris bordel de casser la cabane De ce panoupanou, puis sortir ton canif Ouvrir le bide au primitif Qui débarquait de sa savane
La nostalgie camarade, la nostalgie camarade
Qu'est ce qui t'as fait prendre cette fille diaphane Contre son gré et sous ses griffes Des regrets tu réponds négatif Mieux encore tu ricanes
La nostalgie camarade, la nostalgie camarade
Qu'est-ce qui te prend mon sucre de canne De te klaxonner la gueule sombrer sur les récifs De ta mémoire et revoir ton passif En respirant la colophane
La nostalgie camarade, la nostalgie camarade
Il s'en passe des choses sous ton crâne Rasé c'est plein de tristesse et de kif Tu te vois encore en tenue léopard bourrée d'explosifs Sauter de ton aéroplane
La Bastille Composer(s): Jacques Brel Performer(s): Jacques Brel
Mon ami, qui croit que tout doit changer Crois-tu le droit d'aller tuer les bourgeois Si tu crois encore qu'il nous faut descendre Dans le creux des rues pour monter au pouvoir Si tu crois encore au rêve du grand soir Et que nos ennemis, il faut aller les pendre
Dis-le toi désormais Même s'il est sincère Aucun rêve jamais Ne mérite une guerre On a détruit la Bastille Et ça n'a rien arrangé On a détruit la Bastille Quand il fallait nous aimer
Mon ami, qui croit, que rien ne doit changer Te crois-tu le droit de vivre et de penser en bourgeois Si tu crois encore qu'il nous faut défendre Un bonheur acquis au prix d'autres bonheurs Si tu crois encore que c'est parce qu'ils ont tort Que les gens te saluent plutôt que de te pendre
Dis-le toi désormais Même s'il est sincère Aucun rêve jamais Ne mérite une guerre On a détruit la Bastille Et ça n'a rien arrangé On a détruit la Bastille Quand il fallait nous aimer
Mon ami, je crois que tout peut s'arranger Sans cris sans effroi même sans insulter les bourgeois L'avenir dépend des révolutionnaires Mais se moque bien des petits révoltés L'avenir ne veut ni feu ni sang ni guerre Ne sois pas de ceux-là qui vont nous les donner
Hâtons-nous d'espérer Marchons aux lendemains Tendons une main Qui ne soit pas fermée On a détruit la Bastille Et ça n'a rien arrangé On a détruit la Bastille Ne pourrait-on pas s'aimer
Baby Come Back
Composer(s): Copp - Harders - Appleyard
Performer(s): The Hollies
There are times when I envision I could almost be like you
And I love your disposition everyday there's something new
And I always find you playing where I never venture to
All these things drive me crazy
And I love you when you're mad
Now it seems you've gone away now
Are you lost or coming back
Baby come back
know that it's wrong
Baby come back
Shouldn't be alone
Baby come back
Baby come back
There are times no words are spoken still I know just what you meant
'Cause my heart is always open to your every sentiment
And the urgency to see you has my mind a little bent
All these things drive me crazy
And I love you when you're mad
Now it seems you've gone away now
Are you lost or coming back
See how she runs
Life can be rough when you need a little love
Ain't it good to have a place called home
If there's not what you need but you need some room to breathe
Now you shouldn't go so far
'Cause there's room here in my heart
All these things drive me crazy
And I love you when you're mad
Now it seems you've gone away now
Are you lost or coming back
{My baby's a cat baby's a cat
Listen to me I miss you so
Run run it's everybody's fun
Run run run she runs away
Baby come back}
repeat
La Non-Demande Au Marriage Composer(s): Georges Brassens Performer(s): Georges Brassens
Ma mie, de grâce, ne mettons Pas sous la gorge à Cupidon Sa propre flèche Tant d'amoureux l'ont essayé Qui, de leur bonheur, ont payé Ce sacrilège...
J'ai l'honneur de Ne pas te demander ta main Ne gravons pas Nos noms au bas D'un parchemin
Laissons le champs libre à l'oiseau Nous seront tous les deux prisonniers sur parole Au diable les maîtresses queux Qui attachent les curs aux queues Des casseroles!
J'ai l'honneur de Ne pas te demander ta main Ne gravons pas Nos noms au bas D'un parchemin
Vénus se fait vielle souvent Elle perd son latin devant La lèchefrite À aucun prix, moi je ne veux Effeuiller dans le pot-au-feu La marguerite
J'ai l'honneur de Ne pas te demander ta main Ne gravons pas Nos noms au bas D'un parchemin
On leur ôte bien des attraits En dévoilant trop les secrets De Mélusine L'encre des billets doux pâlit Vite entre les feuillets des livres de cuisine
J'ai l'honneur de Ne pas te demander ta main Ne gravons pas Nos noms au bas D'un parchemin
Il peut sembler de tout repos De mettre à l'ombre, au fond d'un pot De confiture La jolie pomme défendue Mais elle est cuite, elle a perdu Son goût "nature"
J'ai l'honneur de Ne pas te demander ta main Ne gravons pas Nos noms au bas D'un parchemin
De servante n'ai pas besoin Et du ménage et de ses soins Je te dispense Qu'en éternelle fiancée À la dame de mes pensées Toujours je pense
J'ai l'honneur de Ne pas te demander ta main Ne gravons pas Nos noms au bas D'un parchemin
Baby Come Back
Composer(s): Peter Beckett - John Crowley
Performer(s): Player
and multiple other artists
Spending all my nights, all my money going out on the town Doing anything just to get you off of my mind But when the morning comes, I'm right back where I started again Trying to forget you is just a waste of time
Baby come back, any kind of fool could see There was something in everything about you Baby come back, you can blame it all on me I was wrong, and I just can't live without you
All day long, wearing a mask of false bravado Trying to keep up the smile that hides a tear But as the sun goes down, I get that empty feeling again How I wish to God that you were here
Baby come back, any kind of fool could see There was something in everything about you Baby come back, you can blame it all on me I was wrong, and I just can't live without you
Now that I put it all together Give me the chance to make you see Have you used up all the love in your heart Nothing left for me, ain't there nothing left for me
Baby come back, any kind of fool could see There was something in everything about you Baby come back, listen, you can blame it all on me I was wrong, and I just can't live without you
I was wrong, and I just can't live
Baby come back, any kind of fool could see There was something in everything about you Baby come back, you can blame it all on me

La Noche Me Gusta Composer(s): Miguel Bosé Performer(s): Miguel Bosé
La noche se anuncia caliente Me tienta y a ver que me da Me vende a buen precio el peligro Me reta, me vence y se va La noche no apaga el infierno No teme la furia de Dios No esconde venganza en sus ojos Y no tiene palabra de honor La noche me gusta Me gusta lo bueno Lo bueno es pecado Y el resto no es malo Lo bueno es tan malo que E gusta lo bueno y Me gusta lo malo, sí Me gusta No pacto, no escucho, no acepto Y a cambio de nada te ví No quise, no pude, no supe no no no no Y te dije que sí Pero un sí irresistible Grande como una casa Con ventanas y vistas Muy cerquita del cielo De una vida tan corta Que no sabe que le va a pasar Una vida que busca, que respira Y que no olvida lo que es bueno De una vida tan libre Que no entiendo adonde quiere ir Y unas alas tan tercas tan audaces Tan osadas tan ligeras ....¡y a volar! Camino con pasos ligeros No sé cuantos doy, los que doy Me lleva palante la historia No estando, ni estuve, ni estoy A lo puro y lo casto Se los come un te quiero Y me voy vida abajo Caminito al infierno De una vida tan corta Que no sabe que le va a pasar Una vida que busca, que respira Y que no olvida lo que es bueno De una vida tan libre Que no entiendo adonde quiere ir Y unas alas tan tercas, tan audaces Tan osadas, tan ligeras ...¡ y a volar!
