Ce jour-là pour la première fois En voyant tes yeux devant moi J'ai compris soudain d'où venait l'amour Et pourtant tu ne disais rien, mon coeur Et pourtant tu ne disais rien
Ce jour-là pour la première fois Le coeur me battait dans les doigts Comme on est jeune au premier amour Ce jour-là, j'ai prié pour toi, mon coeur Ce jour-là, j'ai prié pour toi
Je savais que la première fois Serait la dernière pour moi Et j'ai envie de parler au ciel Dites-lui de m'aimer toujours, mon Dieu Dites-lui de m'aimer toujours

The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave To the night and the empty skies my love To the night and the empty skies
The first time ever I kissed your mouth I felt the earth turn in my hand Like the trembling heart of a captive bird That was there at my command my love That was there at my command
The first time ever I lay with you And felt your heart beat close to mine I thought our joy would fill the earth And would last 'till the end of time my love And would last 'till the end of time
The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave To the night and the empty skies my love To the night and the empty skies
Baby, Obey Me
Composer(s): Jay Livingston - Ray Evans
Performer(s): Dean Martin, Corinne Calvet, Jerry Lewis
(Dean) From the boulevards of Paris to the corners of Siam Lovers know they must behave, the very way that I am Regardless of the language or the custom of the land They all have the very same demand
When I say give me love, don't be meagre Gee, can't you see I'm overeager Oh baby, oh baby, obey me
And when my lonely arms need a build-up Get in my arms and keep 'em filled up Oh baby, oh baby, obey me
Facts are facts While I'm mad about your caress So relax, there's only one word for yes
My love just lives for you Why be lonely, I want you for my one and only Oh baby, oh baby, obey me do
(Corinne) I'll take you through Paris, be your dolly Oh what I'll show you in Pigalle Oh baby, hey baby, obey me
(Dean) I never like to kiss like the highbrows I want the kind that curls my eyebrows
(Corinne) Oh-ho, like this
(Dean) Oh, baby
(Corinne) You will be my gift from the Marshall Plan
(Jerry) And I will be the king of the French Can-Can
(Corinne) My sweet, when I do this, don't be gentle I want you close and continental Oh baby, je t'adore Tu es un homme merveilleux, viens près d'moi
(Jerry) I don't know what you're saying, but it should happen to me
(Dean) Crêpes Suzettes Why, that's all the French I know
(Corinne) No my pet, you learn every word, but "No!"

La Première Fille Composer(s): Georges Brassens Performer(s): Georges Brassens
J'ai tout oublié des campagnes D'Austerlitz et de Waterloo D'Italie, de Prusse et d'Espagne De Pontoise et de Landernau
Jamais de la vie On ne l'oubliera La première fille Qu'on a pris dans ses bras La première étrangère À qui l'on a dit "tu" Mon cur, t'en souviens-tu? Comme ell' nous était chère Qu'ell' soit fille honnête Ou fille de rien Qu'elle soit pucelle Ou qu'elle soit putain On se souvient d'elle On s'en souviendra D'la premièr' fill' Qu'on a pris dans ses bras
Ils sont partis à tire-d'aile Mes souvenirs de la Suzon Et ma mémoire est infidèle À Julie, Rosette ou Lison
Jamais de la vie On ne l'oubliera La première fille Qu'on a pris dans ses bras C'était une bonne affaire Mon cur, t'en souviens-tu? J'ai changé ma vertu Contre une primevère Qu'ce soit en grand' pompe Comme les gens "bien" Ou bien dans la rue Comm' les pauvr's et les chiens On se souvient d'elle On s'en souviendra D'la premièr' fill' Qu'on a pris dans ses bras
Toi qui m'a donné le baptême D'amour et de septième ciel Moi, je te garde et, moi, je t'aime Dernier cadeau du Pèr' Noël
Jamais de la vie On ne l'oubliera La première fille Qu'on a pris dans ses bras On a beau fair' le brave Quand elle s'est mise nue Mon cur, t'en souviens-tu? On n'en menait pas large Bien d'autres, sans doute Depuis sont venues Oui, mais, entre tout's Cell's qu'on a connues Elle est la dernière Que l'on oubliera La premièr' fill' Qu'on a pris dans ses bras
Io son partito poi così d'improvviso che non ho avuto il tempo di salutare istante breve ma ancora più breve se c'è una luce che trafigge il tuo cuore
L'arcobaleno è il mio messaggio d'amore può darsi un giorno ti riesca a toccare con i colori si può cancellare il più avvilente e desolante squallore
Son diventato se il tramonto di sera e parlo come le foglie d'aprile e vivrò dentro ad ogni voce sincera e con gli uccelli vivo il canto sottile e il mio discorso più bello e più denso esprime con il silenzio il suo senso
Io quante cose non avevo capito che sono chiare come stelle cadenti e devo dirti che è un piacere infinito portare queste mie valige pesanti
Mi manchi tanto amico caro davvero e tante cose son rimaste da dire ascolta sempre e solo musica vera e cerca sempre se puoi di capire
Son diventato se il tramonto di sera e parlo come le foglie d'aprile e vivrò dentro ad ogni voce sincera e con gli uccelli vivo il canto sottile e il mio discorso più bello e più denso esprime con il silenzio il suo senso
Mi manchi tanto amico caro davvero e tante cose son rimaste da dire ascolta sempre e solo musica vera e cerca sempre se puoi di capire ascolta sempre e solo musica vera e cerca sempre se puoi di capire
La Première Femme De Ma Vie Composer(s): Alain Goraguer - Claude Lemesle - Pierre Delanoë Performer(s): Joe Dassin
La première femme de ma vie Je ne l'ai pas vu tout de suite Je n'ai vu qu'elle était petite Qu'après avoir un peu grandi Elle m'emmenait dans les musées Quelques fois au concert Colonne Où son gentil petit bonhomme Faisait semblant de s'amuser
Elle chantait ma mère Elle chantait souvent Des chansons d'hier Des chansons d'avant
La première femme de ma vie Un jour m'a conduit à l'école Emmitouflé dans un cache-col Armé d'un cartable verni J'ai connu les bons, les méchants Les points sur les i, sur la gole Il était quelques fois bien seul Le deuxième homme de maman
Elle chantait ma mère Elle chantait souvent Des chansons d'hier Des chansons d'avant
La première femme de ma vie Je l'ai quittée pour être un homme C'est toujours un matin d'automne Que les enfants s'en vont du lit C'est toujours un matin de pluie C'est souvent pour une autre femme
Elle chantait ma mère Elle chantait souvent Des chansons d'hier Des chansons d'avant
Baby It's Cold Outside
Composer(s): Frank Loesser
First performance/First recording: Esther Williams & Ricardo Montalbán - 1949/Dinah Shore & Buddy Clark - 1949
Covered by multiple other artists
I really can't stay - but baby it's cold outside I've got to go away - but baby it's cold outside This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry - Beautiful words you're humming And father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry Well, maybe just a half a drink more - Put some records on while I pour
The neighbours might think - But baby it's bad out there Say, what's in this drink? - No cabs to be had out there I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now To break the spell - I'll take your hat, your hairs looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no sir - Mind if I move in closer? At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense of hurting my pride? I really can't stay - Oh baby don't hold out Ah but it's cold outside - Baby it's cold outside
I simply must go - But baby it's cold outside The answer is no -But baby it's cold outside The welcome has been - How lucky that you dropped in So nice and warm - Look out that window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious - God your lips look delicious My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Gosh your lips are delicious Well, maybe just a cigarette more -Never such a blizzard before
I got to get home - But baby you'd freeze out there Say, lend me a coat - It's up to your knees out there You've really been grand - I'm thrilled when you touch my hand Why don't you see - How can you do this thing to me?
There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Think of my lifelong sorrow At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died I really can't stay - Get over that hold-out Ah but it's cold outside - Ah but it's cold outside
(Only the man:) Where could you be going When the wind is blowing And it's cold outside?
La Première Étoile Composer(s): Alix Pascal - Paul Mauriat Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu
Si grand soit le monde, si loin que je sois à chaque seconde, moi, je pense à toi à ce coin de France où tu est resté avec mon enfance et mes oliviers Mais quand tout se voile, quand meurt le soleil Il y a notre étoile là-haut dans le ciel
La première étoile qui se lèvera La première étoile nous protégera Dis-lui que tu m'aimes en la regardant je dirai "je t'aime" à ce même instant
Elle est si fragile perdue dans le soir pourtant elle brille comme notre espoir À travers nos peines, par dessus les jours elle dit que l'on s'aime comme au premier jour
La première étoile qui se lèvera La première étoile nous protégera Dis-lui que tu m'aimes et puis pense à moi je ferai de même et tu m'entendras te dire "je t'aime" au creux de tes bras
La première étoile nous portera bonheur la première étoile, elle est là dans nos curs dans nos curs, dans nos curs...

She is like a doll, she says: 'No, no, no, no' And though she likes to fall for me, she says: 'No, no, no, no'
She says: 'You are just a friend to me' 'You're no more than a friend to me'
She is like a doll who says: 'No, no, no, no' And though she tries to fall for me, she says: 'No, no, no, no'
I know she tries to fall for me And hopes that I won't see
Without even hearing, she says: 'No, no, no, no' Without even looking, she says: 'No, no, no, no'
I know, I know she is afraid with me Afraid she might say 'yes' to me
Yes, she is like the doll who says: 'No, no, no, no' And though she might fall for me, she says: 'No, no, no, no' 'No, no, no, no' 'No, no, no, no' She says: 'No, no, no, no'

La Poupée Qui Fait Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
C'est une petite poupée qui fait pipi caca Une petite poupée qui dit papa Elle a des petites socquettes blanches Une culotte à trou trous Une petite chaînette autour du cou Elle a des petites socquettes blanches Une culotte à trou-trous Quand elle remue du croupion ça m'rend coucou
C'est une petite poupée qui fait pipi caca Une petite poupée qui dit papa Faut la rattraper par la manche Sinon elle part en arrière Elle bascule en gardant les yeux grands ouverts Faut la rattraper par la manche Sinon elle part en arrière Elle se couche sur le dos les pattes en l'air
C'est une petite poupée qui fait pipi caca Une petite poupée qui dit papa Je lui réponds d'une voix blanche Je t'aime petit mannequin Avant de la balancer sur les coussins Je lui réponds d'une voix blanche Je t'aime petit mannequin Et je désarticule le pauvre pantin
C'est une petite poupée qui fait pipi caca Une petite poupée qui dit papa Et je fais gaffe avec mes hanches De n'pas trop la bousculer Il est si facile de la faire pleurer Oui je fais gaffe avec mes hanches De n'pas trop la bousculer Car j'ai bien peur de déchirer ma poupée
