J'entends Siffler Le Train Composer(s): Jacques Plante; Hedy West Performer(s): Anthony Richard; Franco Battiato
J'ai pensé qu'il valait mieux Nous quitter sans un adieu Je n'aurais pas eu le coeur de te revoir... Mais j'entends siffler le train Mais j'entends siffler le train Que c'est triste un train qui siffle dans le soir...
Je pouvais t'imaginer, toute seule, abandonnée Sur le quai, dans la cohue des "au revoir" Et j'entends siffler le train Et j'entends siffler le train Que c'est triste un train qui siffle dans le soir...
J'ai failli courir vers toi, j'ai failli crier vers toi C'est à peine si j'ai pu me retenir! Que c'est loin où tu t'en vas Que c'est loin où tu t'en vas Auras-tu jamais le temps de revenir?
J'ai pensé qu'il valait mieux Nous quitter sans un adieu Mais je sens que maintenant tout est fini! Et j'entends siffler ce train Et j'entends siffler ce train J'entendrai siffler ce train toute ma vie...
Lady With The Spinning Head Composer(s): Adam Clayton - Bono - Larry Mullen Jr. - The Edge Performer(s): U2
Here she comes Lady luck again Figure of eight Six and nine again
My lady with the spinning head
Whatever the deal She won't let me down Wherever I go She's always hanging 'round
My lady with the spinning head La la la la la la la la la la la Lady with the spinning head La la la la la la la la la la la Lady with the spinning head
She's been gone But I knew she'd be back She's got the rent She put me in the black
The lady with the spinning head
Took my mind Took away my car Do you dare to ask What I'm talking about
I'm on top When she's around She's my ticket Out of town
La la la la la la la la la la la Lady with the spinning head La la la la la la la la la la la Lady with the spinning head
El Bandolero Stanco Composer(s): Roberto Vecchioni
Performer(s): Roberto Vecchioni
Sarà forse il vento che non l'accarezza più sarà il suo cappello che da un po' non gli sta su sarà quella ruga di ridente nostalgia o la confusione tra la vita e la poesia non assalta treni perché non ne passan mai non rapina banche, perché i soldi sono i suoi vive di tramonti e di calcolati oblii e di commoventi, ripetuti lunghi addii struggenti addii...
El bandolero stanco col cuore infranto stanotte va va, su un cavallo bianco col suo tormento lontano va dov'è silenzio dov'è silenzio, dove... dov'è silenzio, dov'è silenzio dov'è silenzio, dove...
Ha una collezione insuperabile di taglie molte, tutte vuote già da tempo, le bottiglie dorme sul cavallo che non lo sopporta più e si è fatto un mazzo per la pampa su e giù Ogni notte passa e getta un fiore a qualche porta rosso come il sangue del suo cuore di una volta poi galoppa via fino all'inganno dell'aurora dove qualche gaucho giura di sentirlo ancora cantare ancora...
Ah bandolero stanco stanotte ho pianto pensando a te c'è un po' della mia vita nella tua vita che se ne va dov'è silenzio dov'è silenzio, dove... dov'è silenzio dov'è silenzio, dove...
Se chiudo gli occhi, dentro gli occhi sei di nuovo quello vero quando sorridevo, quando ti credevo ascoltami, guardami, sta' fermo è ancora vivo questo amore tutto questo amore, tutto il nostro amore e tu lontano non ci vai a morire come una puttana prima del mio cuore al posto del mio cuore non mi lasciare solo in questa notte che non vedo il cielo torna bandolero! torna bandolero! torna bandolero! Dov'è silenzio dov'è silenzio, dove... dov'è silenzio dov'è silenzio, dove...
Lady With The Lamp Composer(s): Jerry Garcia Performer(s): Country Joe McDonald
I don't mind, please don't misunderstand I know the score of war A soldier's life is give and give And then they ask for more Walking on the picket line Where my comrades fell Holding up the thin-red-line In the shot and shell
The lady with the lamp You know she understands The lady with the lamp She's the soldiers' friend
I don't mind the blistering heat I think I can endure It's freezing cold and I can't feel my feet Well, that's the hell of war I never thought about the big red wound When I saw my comrades fall Now I'm in this cold and lonely room Wondering if I'll live at all
The lady with the lamp You know she understands The lady with the lamp She's the soldiers' friend
First they use us And then they throw us away Only Miss Nightingale Knows the price that we pay The lady with the lamp
Excuse me please, a cup of tea I've such a terrible thirst Would you please come and sit with me I feel it's come to the worst Write my mother that I love her so I can't seem to hold the pen Take this keep-sake and send it home To those I'll never see again
The lady with the lamp You know she understands The lady with the lamp She's the soldiers' friend
She will hold his hand Stay with him to the end You know she understands She's the soldier's friend
Werkeloos Composer(s): Pierre Kartner Performer(s): Jacques Herb
Morgen zouden zij gaan trouwen Samen naar het altaar gaan Morgen zou het jawoord klinken Klokken zouden voor hen slaan Maar 't geluk kon niet lang duren Op z'n werk kreeg hij ontslag Zo heeft hij zijn bruid verloren Omdat hij niet werken mag
Werkeloos, kan toch geen schande zijn Maar brengt veel leed en pijn Voor hen die trouwen gaan Werkeloos, maakt hem een eenzaam man Omdat hij voor dagelijks brood Niet werken kan
Zij nam toen voor hem een ander Hij werd een gebroken mens Omdat hij voor geld wil werken Dat is nog z'n laatste wens Hij is toen uit nood gaan stelen Voor z'n bruid waar hij van houdt Jaren moet hij daar voor boeten Voor die ene kleine fout
Werkeloos, kan toch geen schande zijn Maar brengt veel leed en pijn Voor hen die trouwen gaan Werkeloos, maakt hem een eenzaam man Omdat hij voor dagelijks brood Niet werken kan
Lady Willpower Composer(s): Jerry Fuller Performer(s): Gary Puckett & The Union Gap
Lady Willpower, it's now or never Give your love to me and I'll shower Your heart with tenderness endlessly I know you want to see me but you're afraid Of what I might have on my mind One thing you can be sure of I'll take good care of your love If you will let me give you mine Lady Willpower, it's now or never Give your love to me and I'll shower Your heart with tenderness endlessly Did no one ever tell you the facts of life? Well there's so much you have to learn And I would gladly teach you if I could only reach you And get your lovin' in return Lady Willpower, it's now or never Give your love to me and I'll shower Your heart with tenderness endlessly Lady Willpower, it's now or never Give your love to me and I'll shower.....

Lady Sunshine Und Mister Moon Performer(s): Conny Froboess
Lady Sunshine und Mister Moon können gar nichts dagegen tun daß sie am Himmel sich niemals trafen denn wenn er aufsteht, dann geht sie schlafen
Lady Sunshine und Mister Moon können gar nichts dagegen tun wenn sie auch träumen von einem Märchen ein Pärchen werden sie nie
Da sind wir beide besser dran, viel besser dran weil mich dein Mund so oft ich will am Tage küssen kann Hier unten ist das Leben schön für dich und mich dein Mund sagt mir so oft ich will: 'Mein Schatz, ich liebe dich!'
Doch Lady, Lady Sunshine und Mister Moon können gar nichts dagegen tun wenn sie auch träumen von einem Märchen ein Pärchen werden sie nie
Lady Sunshine und Mister Moon würden gern was dagegen tun dass sie so einsam dort oben wandern dass sie noch träumen, verliebt vom Andern
Lady Sunshine und Mister Moon können gar nichts dagegen tun wenn sie auch träumen von einem Märchen ein Pärchen werden sie nie Nie! Nie!
Band On The Run
Composer(s): Paul McCartney - Linda McCartney
First release by: Paul McCartney & Wings - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists
Stuck inside these four walls
Sent inside for ever
Never seeing no one, nice again
Like you, mama
You, mama... you...
If I ever get out of here
Thought of giving it all away
To a registered charity
All I need is a pint a day
If I ever get out of here
(If I ever get out of here)
Well the rain exploded with a mighty crash
As we fell into the sun
And the first one said to the second one there
I hope you're having fun
Band on the run; band on the run
And the jailer man, and sailor Sam
Were searching everyone
For the Band on the run...
Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh
Seeing no one else had come
And the bell was ringing in the village square
For the rabbits on the run
Band on the run...
Well the night was failing
As the desert world began to settle down
In the town they're searching for us everywhere
But the never will be found
Band on the run; band on the run
And the country judge, who held a grudge
Will search for ever more
Lady Starlight Composer(s): Andy Scott Performer(s): Sweet
Looking for starlight The lady made it alright She was the lady And I knew right from the start Sweet lady starlight Come on and make it tonight You turn it on so easy And the lady is my lady starlight
Sing the song that should be sung And your love can be the voice The tears in my eyes I'm crying tears of joy When you say I'm your boy

Looking for starlight The lady made it alright She was the lady And I knew right from the start Sweet lady starlight Come on and make it tonight You turn it on so easy And the lady is my lady starlight
Dance she dances the valley And Rudi is the king I laugh when she's happy The powers in my hands And I must be a man
Band Of Gold
Composer(s): Ronald Dunbar - Lamont Dozier - Brian Holland - Eddie Holland
First release by: Freda Payne - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
Now that you've gone All that's left is a band of gold All that's left of the dreams I hold Band of gold And the memories of what love could be If you were still here with me
You took me from the shelter of my mother I have never known or loved another We kissed after taking vows That nigh on our honeymoon We stayed in separate rooms
I wait in the darkness of my lonely room Filled with sadness, filled with gloom Hoping soon That you'll walk back through that door And love me like you tried before
Now that you've gone All that's left is a band of gold All that's left of the dreams I hold Band of gold And the memories of what love could be If you were still here with me
Don't you know that I wait In the darkness of my lonely room Filled with sadness, filled with gloom Hoping soon That you'll walk back through that door And love me like you tried before
Since you've been gone All that's left is a band of gold All that's left of the dreams I hold Band of gold And the memories of what love could be If you were still here with me
I wait in the darkness of my lonely room Filled with sadness, filled with gloom Hoping soon That you'll walk back through that door And love me like you tried before

Uma fazenda Com casarão Imensa varanda Dá gerimum Dá muito mamão Pé de jacarandá Eu posso vender Quanto você dá
Algum mosquito Chapéu de sol Bastante água fresca Tem isca pra anzol Mas nem tem que pescar Eu posso vender Quanto quer pagar?
O que eu tenho Eu devo a Deus Meu chão, meu céu, meu mar Os olhos do meu bem E os filhos meus Se alguém pensa que vai levar Eu posso vender Quanto vai pagar?
Os diamantes rolam no chão O ouro é poeira Muita mulher pra passar sabão Papoula pra cheirar Eu posso vender Quanto vai pagar?
Negros quimbundos Pra variar Diversos açoites Doces lundus Pra nhonhô sonhar À sombra dos oitis Eu posso vender Que é que você diz?
Sou feliz E devo a Deus Meu éden tropical Orgulho dos meus pais E dos filhos meus Ninguém me tira nem por mal Mas posso vender Deixe algum sinal
