Ballade Irlandaise (Un Oranger)
Composer(s): Eddy Marnay - Emil Stern
First release by: André Bourvil - 1958
Covered by multiple other artists
Un oranger sur le sol irlandais On ne le verra jamais Un jour de neige embaumé de lilas Jamais on ne le verra Qu'est ce que ça peut faire? Qu'est ce que ça peut faire? Tu dors auprès de moi Près de la rivière Où notre chaumière Bat comme un coeur plein de joie
Un oranger sur le sol irlandais On ne le verra jamais Mais dans mes bras, quelqu'un d'autre que toi Jamais on ne le verra Qu'est ce que ça peut faire? Qu'est ce que ça peut faire? Tu dors auprès de moi L'eau de la rivière Fleure la bruyère Et ton sommeil est à moi
Un oranger sur le sol irlandais On ne le verra jamais Un jour de neige embaumé de lilas Jamais on ne le verra Qu'est ce que ça peut faire? Qu'est ce que ça peut faire? Toi, mon enfant, tu es là!
Lady Composer(s): Graham Goble Performer(s): Little River Band
Look around you, look up here Take time to make time, make time to be there Look around, be a part Feel for the winter, but don't have a cold heart
And I love you best You're not like the rest You're there when I need you You're there when I need I'm gonna need you
A long time ago I had a lady to love She made me think of things I never thought of Now she's gone and I'm on my own A love song has come into my mind A love song, it was there all the time
So lady let me take a look at you now You're there on the dance floor, making me want you somehow Oh lady, I think it's only fair I should say to you "Don't be thinkin' that I don't want you, 'cause maybe I do"
Look around, come to me I have no answers, but know where I wanna be I look around, play a part I was born in the winter and cooled by a warm heart
And I love you best You're not like the rest You're there when I need you You're there when I need I'm gonna need you
So lady, let me take a look at you now You're there on the dance floor, making me want you somehow Oh lady, I think it's only fair I should say to you "Don't be thinkin' that I don't want you, 'cause maybe I do Don't be thinkin' that I don't want you, lady I do"
En blanc Les Rois du ciel sur terre Qui parlent d'Amour En s'interdisant de la faire... Blanc Les chèques du prix de la guerre Du matériel et des misères...
En blanc Les mariages et les chimères Les trahisons, les adultères... Blanc Le chat qui méprise les gris Les tigres, les insoumis...
Blanc Qui envahit et qui détruit L'Amérique en quelques nuits... Blanches Les tuniques sévères Des gardes Blancs de cette terre
Blanche Blanche la mort qui sort De la bouche du fusil... Voilà peut-être pourquoi Mon Amour, certains soirs Il fait bon d'être un peu noir Mon Amour, certains soirs Il fait bon d'être un peu noir
Lady Composer(s): Lionel Richie First release by: Kenny Rogers - 1980 Covered by multiple other artists
Lady, I'm your knight in shining armor and I love you You have made me what I am and I am yours My love, there's so many ways I want to say I love you Let me hold you in my arms forever more
You have gone and made me such a fool I'm so lost in your love And oh, we belong together Won't you believe in my song?
Lady, for so many years I thought I'd never find you You have come into my life and made me whole Forever let me wake to see you each and every morning Let me hear you whisper softly in my ear
In my eyes I see no one else but you There's no other love like our love And yes, oh yes, I'll always want you near me I've waited for you for so long
Lady, your love's the only love I need And beside me is where I want you to be 'cause, my love, there's somethin' I want you to know You're the love of my life, you're my lady
Ballade Des Dames Du Temps Jadis
Composer(s): Georges Brassens - François Villon
Performer(s): Georges Brassens
Dites moi où, en quel pays Est Flora la belle Romaine Archipiades, né Thaïs Qui fut sa cousine Germaine Echo parlant quand bruyt on maine Dessus rivière ou sus estan Qui beauté ot trop plus qu'humaine Mais ou sont les neiges d'antan? Qui beauté ot trop plus qu'humaine Mais ou sont les neiges d'antan?
Où est très sage Hélloïs Pour qui chastré fut et puis moyne Pierre Esbaillart à Saint Denis? Pour son amour ot ceste essoyne Semblablement, où est royne Qui commanda que buridan Fut geté en ung sac en Saine? Mais ou sont les neiges d'antan? Fut geté en ung sac en Saine? Mais ou sont les neiges d'antan?
La royne blanche comme lis Qui chantoit à voix de seraine Berte au grand pié, Bietris, Alis Haremburgis qui tient le Maine Et Jehanne la bonne Lorraine Qu'Englois brûlèrent à Rouen Où sont ils, ou Vierge souveraine? Mais où sont les neiges d'antan? Où sont ils ou Vierge souveraine? Mais où sont les neiges d'antan?
Prince, n'enquérez de sepmaine Ou elles sont, ne de cest an Qu'a ce refrain ne vous remaine Mais où sont les neiges d'antan? Qu'a ce refrain en vous remaine Mais où sont les neiges d'antan?
Lady Composer(s): Larry Kusik - Charles Singleton - Bert Kaempfert - Herbert Rehbein Performer(s): Jack Jones
Lady, you're in love today but what about your broken heart tomorrow? Why waste all your loveliness on someone if he really doesn't care? Let me take you in my arms and let me love you tenderly, and you'll see All the joys of life you never found before you'll find with me Lady, take my love today and let me give you happiness forever Ev'ry day you wait, a little love we could be sharing slips away Why find out too late that what you thought was love was just a brief fantasy? I'm in love with you, so lovely lady, won't you fall in love with me
Jij Komt Steeds Weer Dichterbij French & English Title: Butterfly Composer(s): (Danyel Gérard) Performer(s): Jo Vally (Originally performed in French & English by: Danyel Gérard)
Als je zegt Uit het oog, is uit het hart Als je zegt 't is niet goed, 't is ??? Ondanks wat jij beweert hou ik van haar alleen Zij is als een vlinder om me heen
Butterfly my butterfly Jij komt steeds weer dichterbij Butterfly my butterfly Ooit vlieg jij terug naar mij
In haar hoofd Is ze vrij, altijd vrij en de zon went haar steeds dichterbij Ondankst wat jij beweert Komt zij altijd naar mij Vlindert ze, heel vrolijk dichterbij
Butterfly my butterfly Jij komt steeds weer dichterbij Butterfly my butterfly Ooit vlieg jij terug naar mij
Heel haar hart Is zo groot en intens Daardoor ziet ze graag ieder mens Ondanks wat jij beweert Houd zij alleen van mij Straks dan vliegen wij nog allebij
Butterfly my butterfly Jij komt steeds weer dichterbij Butterfly my butterfly Ooit vlieg jij terug naar mij
L'adresse Du Bonheur Composer(s): Henri Gougaud - Jean Ferrat Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Le jour ouvre un oeil froid un arbre échevelé Emerge de la brume en ébrouant ses branches Les trottoirs de Paris rechaussent leurs souliers On rêve encore un peu d'une aube toute blanche Les gares grises s'ouvrent aux regards exilés
Dis-moi l'adresse du bonheur
Je sors les yeux gonflés d'un rêve éblouissant Sur la rumeur du monde à peine je surnage J'étais dans les nuées je descends je descends Un transistor me crache une bordée d'orages Dans mon regard se noient des millions de passants
Dis-moi l'adresse du bonheur
J'aimerais me saouler d'une goulée d'air pur Droit sous des palmeraies que le soleil parfume Boire loin de Paris l'alcool de l'aventure Là-bas dans l'or du sable et l'argent de l'écume Là-bas tellement loin qu'on dirait le futur
Dis-moi l'adresse du bonheur
Je marche malgré l'ordre et le poids du travail Et je vis midi sonne aux clochers des usines Hors des chemins battus je cherche mon bercail L'enfant-fraternité dans les rues sans vitrines Court tout illuminé d'un rire de corail
Dis-moi l'adresse du bonheur Enfant Dis-moi l'adresse du bonheur

Ça c'est l'histoire De Melody Nelson Qu'à part moi-même personne N'a jamais pris dans ses bras Ça vous étonne Mais c'est comme ça
Elle avait de l'amour Pauvre Melody Nelson Ouais, elle en avait des tonnes Mais ses jours étaient comptés Quatorze automnes Et quinze étés
Un petit animal Que cette Melody Nelson Une adorable garçonne Et si délicieuse enfant Que je n'ai con- Nue qu'un instant
Oh! Ma Melody Ma Melody Nelson Aimable petite conne Tu étais la condition Sine qua non De ma raison
Jeanne Moreau: Dis, où est l'amour Le grand amour Que j'attendais? Est-il, dans une ville Ou dans une île Qu'on a perdu?
Yves Duteil: Il est dans le berceau des destins À la croisée des chemins Sous les rameaux de jasmins Dans la chaleur de l'été Caché dans le creux des mains Tout près de la vérité
Jeanne Moreau: Dis, c'est quoi l'amour Le grand amour Que j'attendais? Est-il un oiseau fou Un chien, un loup Qui s'est perdu?
Yves Duteil: Il est un voyageur étranger Un solitaire messager Qui vient pour tout déranger Dans la chaleur de l'été Il est la peur du berger Qui garde la vérité
Jeanne Moreau: Dis, qui est l'amour Le grand amour Que j'attendais? Est-il fort comme le vent Blond comme le temps Le temps perdu?
Yves Duteil: Il est, comme le trajet de la fronde Comme la course du monde La mélodie de la ronde Dans la chaleur de l'été Comme les fleurs qui abondent Tout près de la vérité
Jeanne Moreau: Oui, c'est toi l'amour Le grand amour Que j'attendais Tu es l'ange, le fou L'oiseau, le loup Jamais perdu
Ballade Comestible
Composer(s): Jacques Dutronc
Performer(s): Jacques Dutronc
J'crois bien que j'l'ai dans l'dos
Une heure que j'fais l'poireau
Les cent pas sur la berge
Attendant cette asperge
Asperge, asperge
Déjà dix heures tout rond
À l'aiguille de mon oignon
Mon oignon
J'avais d'autres candidates
J'en ai gros sur la patate
Moi qui m'suis fait tout beau
Elle m'court sur l'haricot
Haricot, haricot
Mais si elle vient pas du tout
Demain j'lui rentre dans le chou
Dans le chou
On d'vait aller au théâtre
Balancer des tomates
Et après au ciné
On s'rait tapé un navet
Un navet, navet
Si j'la vois j'lui dirai tu
Peux être fière de toi, l'es-tu
L'es-tu?
Si comme ça, j'vais solo
Dépenser mon artiche au
Café écluser au bar
Les pastis et les pinards
Les pinards
Ladies Of The Road Composer(s): Peter Sinfield - Robert Fripp Performer(s): King Crimson
A flower lady's daughter As sweet as holy water Said: "I'm the school reporter Please teach me", well I taught her
Two fingered levi'd sister Said, "Peace", I stopped I kissed her Said, "I'm a male resister" I smiled and just unzipped her
High diving chinese trender Black hair and black suspender Said, "Please me no surrender Just love to feel your Fender"
All of you know that the girls of the road Are like apples you stole in your youth All of you know that the girls of the road Been around but are versed in the truth
Stone-headed Frisco spacer Ate all the meat I gave her Said would I like to taste hers And even craved the flavour
"Like marron-glaced fish bones Oh lady hit the road!"
All of you know that the girls of the road Are like apples you stole in your youth All of you know that the girls of the road Been around but are versed in the truth
Ladies Of The Chorus Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Alan Hale
Ladies of the chorus That's what we are, it appears We were inducted and we took a vow We joined the Army, but look at us now We're ladies of the chorus Don't we look lovely, my dears In corsets and dresses And cute golden tresses To hide the dirt behind our ears
I was a plumber I quit work last summer My number come up at the start
I was a printer I quit work last winter They okayed my lungs and my heart
I was a farmer Potato embalmer They took me away from the plow
I was a packer I chewed plug 'terbaccer' I wish I had some of it now
Oh, now we're in the chorus Dressed up in girdles that squeeze We're here to romance with To sing and to dance with A bunch of nerdy guys like these
Guys: Pardon me, but aren't you the country maiden? Gals: Pardon me, but aren't you the city chap?
Guys: Cuddle closer, won't you please I'm about to take a squeeze
Gals: If you do then I will give your face a slap
Guys: I would love to take you home to meet my mother I would like to meet my mother, but I can't She will treat you like a queen
Gals: But I'm Only Seventeen Guys: If you are seventeen, then so's my aunt
Gals: Hi-ho! I want you to behave Guys: Hi-ho! I think you need a shave
Gals: Do you think that you can get me into pictures? Guys: If you're nice to me I'll get you on the screen Gals: How about a movie test? Guys: Not with hair upon your chest Gals: And now it's time to dance but keep it clean
Ladies Of The Canyon Composer(s): Joni Mitchell First release by: Joni Mitchell - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
Trina wears her wampum beads She fills her drawing book with line Sewing lace on widows' weeds And filigree on leaf and vine Vine and leaf are filigree And her coat's a secondhand one Trimmed with antique luxury She is a lady of the canyon
Annie sits you down to eat She always makes you welcome in Cats and babies 'round her feet And all are fat and none are thin None are thin and all are fat She may bake some brownies today Saying, you are welcome back She is another canyon lady
Estrella circus girl Comes wrapped in songs and gypsy shawls Songs like tiny hammers hurled At beveled mirrors in empty halls Empty halls and beveled mirrors Sailing seas and climbing banyans Come out for a visit here To be a lady of the canyon
Trina takes her paints and her threads And she weaves a pattern all her own Annie bakes her cakes and her breads And she gathers flowers for her home For her home she gathers flowers And Estrella, dear companion Colors up the sunshine hours Pouring music down the canyon Coloring the sunshine hours They are the ladies of the canyon
Ballad Om Censuren Composer(s): Cornelis Vreeswijk Performer(s): Cornelis Vreeswijk
För erotikens faror bevare barnen små som inte har en aning om hur illa det kan gå Nej, låt dom hoppa hage och leka militär och skjuta på varandra med leksaksgevär Låt barnen kriga lugnt och snällt så glömmer dom allt sexuellt som hotar dom från alla håll Och nog är det väl tur att vi här i landet har ordning och censur I Sodom och Gomorra var disciplinen svag och den som kritiserade blev hängd samma dag Poliserna var busar, borgmästarn en kanalj och den som drack mest öl och brännvin, fick guldmedalj Moralen var det uselt med för tiden hade gått ur led Det syndades båd' natt och dag, i ur som i skur I Sodom och Gomorra fanns det ingen censur
Ivan den förskräcklige han var en märklig man Han gjorde som han ville Gör om det om ni kan! Han hade vilda vanor Han ställde höga krav På dem som kritiserade höggs huvudet av Och ingen tordes göra nåt för Ivan kunde höra nåt Och han var inte god att tas med, när han blev sur Ivan den förskräcklige var svag för censur
Damer utan kläder ska man inte titta på Fy skäms på sig, medborgare, som tittar ändå! Det är onaturligt att se en kvinna bar Det kan man bli förstörd av, den saken är klar Hon skulle haft på sig något lätt och dansat klassisk rysk balett Då hade det varit konst och befrämjat vår kultur Det här är väl ingen konst: Censur! Censur!
Kanhända att ni anser att sådant inte stör men lita på kritiken, den vet vad den gör Dom ser vad som är bra och tillåtet för publik Dom ser vad som är dåligt och skriver kritik Medborgare, så fort ni ser att något omoraliskt sker eller ni får syn på nåt som inte är kultur Vänd blicken bort och blunda och skrik på censur!
