La Regina Dell'ultimo Tango Composer(s): Andre Amati - Paolo Amati Performer(s): Gianni Morandi
Canto stasera Canto e sei sola Canto e ho nel cuore voglia di te Canto e il rumore Un po'se ne va Da questa stravolta e sorda città
Settimo piano Settimo cielo Senza ascensore senza l'altare Ti voglio qui Ti voglio guardare Voglio sentimi dentro di te
Canta che canto con te Solo e soltanto con te
Amami come in quel mitico film Io sono Brando e tu sei la regina dell'ultimo tango Amami soli e più spinti che mai Io sono il sole e tu ombra non puoi più scappare lo sai
Ballo che ballo con te Solo e soltanto con te
Amami come in quel mitico film Io sono Brando e tu sei la regina dell'ultimo tanto Ammami soli e più spinti che mai Io sono il sole e tu ombra non puoi più scappare lo sai
Baby's House
Composer(s): Nicky Hopkins - Steve Miller
Performer(s): Steve Miller Band
Inside her silver house, alone She sings a song Of water turned to sand She waits, her time is her own Inside her looking glass Black is the color she sees While waiting for the sun She lives, so patiently Young man travelling along Passes by a window Singing a song Feel the wind blow As my blood flows Through the shadows Of my soul, today See the rainbows As my love grows My heart knows What my mind won't say The living is easy I'm born to be free The living is easy There's no reason to explain Sitting in her sitting room, patiently She waits for a change, suddenly Oh, the changes come Hearing a song, her blood begins to flow She no longer is alone Lying in her sitting room, silently He touches her hand, joyfully And so love has begun With joy in her heart She receives his flowing soul And love grows And it grows And it grows Inside her purple house Oh Lord, filled by her man A child begins to grow Oh Lord, who can understand

C'est la récréation Rangez les livres et les crayons Sortez les billes et les ballons C'est la récréation
Finis les règles et les plumiers Plus de dernier ni de premier On est selon sa valeur Gendarme ou bien voleur
On n'est plus payé en bons points Mais faut savoir jouer des poings Quand un grand de neuf ans et demi Devient notre ennemi
On ne doit plus marcher en rangs On fait ce qu'on veut comme les parents C'est un peu une répétition C'est la récréation
C'est la récréation Rangez les livres et les crayons Sortez les billes et les ballons C'est la récréation
Les filles tracent des marelles En bas la terre, en haut le ciel Déjà dur d'y arriver En poussant un pavé
Déjà les filles à la vanille Sont plus coquettes que gentilles Déjà les gars en chocolat Se gonflent un peu les bras
On fait ce que l'on a envie On fait ce qu'on n'a pas appris C'est le début des illusions C'est la récréation
C'est la récréation Rangez les livres et les crayons Sortez les billes et les ballons C'est la récréation
Et puis un jour, l'enfance qui Semblait un jouet bien acquis Crève comme un gros ballon À la récréation
Baby's Gotten Good At Goodbye
Composer(s): Tony Martin - Troy Martin
Performer(s): George Strait
What a rotten day this turned out to be
I still can't believe she'd leave so easily
She just got all her things, threw `em into a pile
Then she loaded her car and said after a while
She'd done this before, but this time she didn't cry
That's why I'm sittin' on the front steps
Staring down the road, wond'rin' if she'll come back
This time I don't know
After she packed, when she looked back
There were no tears in her eyes
And that's got me worried thinking
Maybe my baby's gotten good at goodbye
All the times before she'd break down and cry
She'd make her threats, but her heart wasn't set on goodbye
She just wanted me to hear what she had to say
Now I'm lost for words, since she went away
She may not return for this time she didn't cry
That's why I'm sittin' on the front steps
Staring down the road, wond'rin' if she'll come back
This time I don't know
After she packed, when she looked back
There were no tears in her eyes
And that's got me worried thinking
Maybe my baby's gotten good at goodbye

Love is like a butterfly As soft and gentle as a sigh The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings Love makes your heart feel strange inside It flutters like soft wings in flight Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing I feel it when you're with me It happens when you kiss me That rare and gentle feeling that I feel inside Your touch is soft and gentle Your kiss is warm and tender Whenever I am with you I think of butterflies
Love is like a butterfly The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings Love makes your heart feel strange inside It flutters like soft wings in flight Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
Your laughter brings me sunshine Everyday is spring time And I am only happy when you are by my side How precious is this love we share How very precious, sweet and rare Together we belong like daffodils and butterflies
Love is like a butterfly As soft and gentle as a sigh The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings Love makes your heart feel strange inside It flutters like soft wings in flight Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
Baby's Got Her Blue Jeans On Composer(s): Bob McDill Performer(s): Mel McDaniel; Sammy Kershaw
Down on the corner, by the traffic light Everbody's lookin' as she goes by They turn their heads and they watch her till she's gone... Lord have mercy, baby's got her blue jeans on
Up by the bus stop, and across the street Open their windows, to take a peek While she goes walkin', rockin' like a rollin' stone... Heaven help us, baby's got her blue jeans on
She can't help it if she's made that way She's not to blame if they look her way She ain't really tryin' to cause a scene It just comes natur'lly.... (No the girl can't help it)
Well up on main street, by the taxi stand There's a crowd of people, and a traffic jam She don't look back, she ain't doin' nothin' wrong... Lord have mercy, baby's got her blue jeans on
She can't help it if she's made that way She's not to blame if they look her way She ain't really tryin' to cause a scene It just comes natur'lly.... (No the girl can't help it)
Down on the corner, by the traffic light Everbody's lookin' as she goes by They turn their heads and they watch her till she's gone... Lord have mercy, baby's got her blue jeans onLet's get away, you say, find a better place Miles and miles away from the city's race Look around for someone lying in the sunshine Marking time, hear the sighs, close your eyes...
Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da...
Stepping from cloud to cloud passing years of light Visit the frosty stars in the backward flight Star becomes a vision, never mind the meaning Hidden there, moving fast, it won't last...
Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da...
Time passes all too soon, how it rushes by Now a thousand moons are about to die No time to reflect on what the time was spent on Nothing left, far away, dreamers fade
Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da...
Strange visions pass me by, winging sweetly close inside O-ver the wa-ter, ah....
Swirling, the waters rise up above my head Gone are the curling mists how they all have fled Look, the door is open, step into the space Provided there
Da do da, da, do da... Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da ...

Mijn liefde is zo licht zo zacht en zoet ja, als een zucht ik dompel haar in nectar fijn zo moet liefde zijn
Want liefde hoeft niet zwaar te zijn benauwend als een boemeltrein laat haar vliegen als een bij laat de liefde vrij
âk ben bij je en ik voel het zo zwevend licht, bedoel ik zo zeldzaam zo te leven wat angstig tegelijk
Als ik jou even aanraak maak jij op mij geen aanspraak ik mag mezelf dus blijven dat maakt ons extra rijk
onze liefde is zo licht ik dompel haar in nectarfijn zo moet liefde zijn
Want liefde hoeft niet zwaar te zijn benauwend als een boemeltrein laat haar vliegen als een bij laat je liefde vrij
Jij geeft mijn liefde leven daardoor kan ik zweven daardoor horen wij beiden als bij en bloem bijeen wat kostbaar hoe we samen zijn ât is als een eeuwenoud geheim daarom horen wij beiden als bij en bloem bijeen
Mijn liefde is zo licht zo zacht en zoet ja, als een zucht ik dompel haar in nectar fijn zo moet liefde zijn
Want liefde hoeft niet zwaar te zijn benauwend als een boemeltrein laat haar vliegen al een bij laat de liefde vrij laat haar vliegen als een bij ja, laat de liefde vrij

Sittin' on the front porch, tryin' to keep still Date is workin' fine, I got a $50 bill Pretty blue eyes & it isn't hard to see My baby's got a hold on me
Long blond hair down the middle of her back She got the keys to her Daddy's Cadillac Got every little thing that I'm ever gonna need Baby's got a hold on me
Got a hold on Got a hold on me Got a hold on Baby's got a hold on me
We got a full tank of gas, lookin' for a thrill 3-day weekend, a lot of time to kill Put the top down but we're never gonna freeze 'Cause baby's got a hold on me
Got a hold on Got a hold on me Got a hold on Baby's got a hold on me
Hold on!
There's a full moon shinin' on a Carolina night 5 o'clock girl 'cross the interstate line Gotta catch her waitin' and that's how it's gonna be 'Cause baby's got a hold on me
Got a hold on Got a hold on me Got a hold on Baby's got a hold on me
Got a hold on Got a hold on me Got a hold on Baby's got a hold on me
Baby's got a hold on me Baby's got a hold on me Hold on, baby's got a hold on me Hold on, hold on Baby's got a hold on me Hold on, ooo hold on Baby's got a hold on me Hold on, hold on Baby's got a hold on me Hold on ...
La Recette De L'amour Fou Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg and multiple other artists
Dans un boudoir introduisez un cur bien tendre Sur canapé laissez s'asseoir et se détendre Versez une larme de porto Et puis mettez-vous au piano Jouez Chopin Avec dédain Égrenez vos accords Et s'il s'endort Alors là, jetez-le dehors
Le second soir faites revenir ce cur bien tendre Faites mijoter trois bons quarts d'heure à vous attendre Et s'il n'est pas encore parti Soyez-en sûr c'est qu'il est cuit Sans vous trahir Laissez frémir Faites attendre encore Et s'il s'endort Alors là, jetez-le dehors
Le lendemain il ne tient qu'à vous d'être tendre Tamisez toutes les lumières et sans attendre Jouez la farce du grand amour Dites "jamais" dites "toujours" Et consommez Sur canapé Mais après les transports Ah ! s'il s'endort Alors là, foutez-le dehors

La Raccolta Composer(s): Angelo Branduardi Performer(s): Angelo Branduardi
Calde notti l'estate con sè ci ha portato già rossi fuochi hanno acceso su ogni campo per ballare... Della raccolta è il dolce tempo da domani il grano cadrà e curiosa anche tu ti chiedi chi ti coglierà... Son tornati sui campi in lunghe file per ballare fino all'alba hai spiato i loro fuochi da lontano... Della raccolta è il dolce tempo la calda estate finita è già... e curiosa anche tu aspetti chi ti coglierà... Sei la spiga più bella che hanno scordato di tagliare sei la mela più alta che nessuno mai raggiungerà... Passato è il tempo della raccolta la calda estate finita è già e curiosa ancora tu ti chiedi chi ti coglierà...

Babylon time has caught up on you

La Quiero A Morir Composer(s): Francis Cabrel Performer(s): Raphael and multiple other artists
Yo que hasta ayer sólo fui un holgazán Y hoy soy guardián de sus sueños de amor La quiero a morir Podéis destruir todo aquello que veis Porque ella de un soplo lo vuelve a crear Como si nada, como si nada La quiero a morir Ella borra las horas en cada reloj Y me enseña a pintar transparente el dolor Con su sonrisa Y levanta una torre desde el cielo hasta aquí Me cose unas alas y me ayuda a subir A toda prisa, a toda prisa La quiero a morir Conoce bien cada guerra Cada herida, cada ser Conoce bien cada guerra De la vida y del amor también Me dibuja un paisaje, me lo hace vivir En un bosque de lápiz se apodera de mí La quiero a morir Y me atrapa en un lazo que no aprieta jamás Como un hilo de seda que no puedo soltar Que no quiero soltar, no quiero soltar La quiero a morir Cuando trepo a sus ojos me enfrento al mar Dos espejos de agua encerrada en cristal La quiero a morir Sólo puedo sentarme, sólo puedo charlar Sólo puedo enredarme, sólo puedo aceptar Ser sólo suyo, tan sólo suyo Es que la quiero a morir

Drive west on Sunset To the sea Turn that jungle music down Just until we're out of town This is no one night stand It's a real occasion Close your eyes and you'll be there It's everything they say The end of a perfect day Distant lights from across the bay
Babylon sisters shake it Babylon sisters shake it So fine so young Tell me I'm the only one
Here come those Santa Ana winds again
We'll jog with show folk on the sand Drink kirschwasser from a shell San Francisco show and tell Well I should know by now That it's just a spasm Like a Sunday in T.J. That it's cheap but it's not free That I'm not what I used to be And that love's not a game for three
Babylon sisters shake it Babylon sisters shake it So fine so young Tell me I'm the only one
My friends say no don't go For that cotton candy Son you're playing with fire The kid will live and learn As he watches his bridges burn From the point of no return
Babylon sisters shake it Babylon sisters shake it So fine so young Tell me I'm the only one
La Quiero Composer(s): Emilio del Guercio Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
La quiero porque es como el sol que sale de noche y de dia la quiero porque es compañia de mi en las noches de luna vacia La quiero porque es para hoy me quiere empezando de ahora yo quiero su aurora de grito y sudor que me cambia segundos por horas
La quiero porque es como mia y tal vez nunca sepa del todo si es mía La quiero porque es la canción que canta a travéz de mi canto la quiero por tanto deleite de amor en las noches de sed y de llanto La quiero porque ella es así la quiero porque es imposible yo quiero su mundo sensible y audaz que atrapó con sus sueños mi vida La quiero porque es como mia y tal vez nunca sepa del todo si es mía

Baby You've Been On My Mind
((Adapted from: Mama, You Been On My Mind (by Bob Dylan) - 1964))
((Swedish Version: Jag Har Tänkt På Dej (by Mikael Wiehe) - 2004))
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Linda Ronstadt - 1969
It might be the color of the sun cut flat
And covering the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
'Cause baby you've been on my mind
I don't mean trouble, please don't put me down
Don't get upset, I am not pleading
Or saying I can't forget you
Well it don't even matter who you awaken with tomorrow
'Cause baby you've been on my mind
When you wake up in the morning baby look inside your mirror
Oh you know I won't be next to you
You know I won't be near
I'll just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on her mind
It might be the color of the sun cut flat
And covering the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
'Cause baby you've been on my mind
Baby you've been on my mind
Baby you've been on my mind
