Lessons In Love (Pierde El Amor) Composer(s): M. King - W. Badarou - R. Gould Performer(s): Raphael
Dónde está nuestro amor No sé bien cual fue el error Y aunque duela la verdad Nunca tiene vuelta atrás Lifeboat lies lost at sea Ive been trying to reach your shore Waves of doubt keep drowning me All the dreams that we were building We never fulfilled them Could be better, should be better Lessons in love For restless eyes egos burn And the mold is hard to break Now we've waded in too deep But and love is overboard Tú por mí, yo por ti Intentando descubrir Qué lección se nos pasó All the homes that we were building We never lived in Could be better, should be better Lessons in love If we lose the time before us The future will ignore us We should use it, we could use it Lessons in love Lost without love Lessons in love Me duele la verdad Lessons in love Y busco una señal Lessons in love Me dices que te vas Lessons in love Y yo no sé olvidar
Bravo Monsieur Le Monde Dutch Title: Bravo Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë; Michel Fugain Originally performed by: Michel Fugain Covered by: Ann Christy
Bravo, Monsieur le monde Chapeau, Monsieur le monde Même quand les gens diront Que vous ne tournez pas toujours très rond
Bravo, pour vos montagnes C'est beau, c'est formidable Compliment pour vos saisons Qui nous donnent des idées de chansons
Bravo, la mer On n'a jamais trouvé un vert plus bleu Un bleu plus vert Aucune symphonie N'est riche d'autant d'harmonie Qu'un merveilleux tonnerre Qui fait l'amour avec la pluie
Bravo, le vent Qui fait ramper les blés Qui fait trembler les océans Bravo pour le soleil Et la colère du volcan Bravo pour l'arc-en-ciel Qui met de la joie dans le cur d'un enfant
Bravo, Monsieur le monde Chapeau, Monsieur le monde Nous vous demandons pardon Pour tous ceux qui vous abîmerons
Bravo, Monsieur le monde Bravo, pour la colombe Si vous lui laissez la vie Nous vous dirons simplement merci

Mes cheveux blonds sont blonds Depuis bien trop longtemps Et mon frère est parti là-bas en Italie Boulevard des Capucines L'Olympia tombe en ruine L'an 2000 est venu personne ne chante plus Il n'y a plus en radio que des mots et des mots Mais il n'y a que moi que ne m'habitue pas
Bravo Donnez-moi un bravo comme on donne un baiser juste un petit dernier Bravo Donnez-moi un bravo comme au temps des rappels Si quelqu'un se rappelle
Bravo Donnez-moi un bravo côté cur côté cour C'est mon seul mot d'amour Bravo Donnez-moi un bravo que je puisse partir Que je puisse dormir
Je n'ai eu pour histoire que vos yeux dans le noir Et pour tout nid d'amour qu'un rideau de velours Comme des italiens qui parlent avec les mains Vos applaudissements c'était un peu mon sang Des hommes ont essayé eux aussi de m'aimer Mais aucun n'est resté c'est vous qui avez gagné
Bravo Donnez-moi un bravo comme on donne un baiser juste un petit dernier Bravo Donnez-moi un bravo comme au temps des rappels Si quelqu'un se rappelle
Bravo Donnez-moi un bravo côté cur côté cour C'est mon seul mot d'amour Bravo Donnez-moi un bravo que je puisse partir Que je puisse dormir
Mes robes de lumière dorment sous la poussière Mais on fera semblant qu'elles m'aillent comme avant Je vais me maquiller attendez vous verrez que je peux être belle comme au temps de Bruxelles Ne partez pas encore je vais faire un décor Deux ou trois projecteurs j'entends quelqu'un... Qui pleure
Bravo Donnez-moi un bravo Comme on donne un baiser juste un petit dernier Bravo Donnez-moi un bravo Comme au temps des rappels si quelqu'un se rappelle Bravo Donnez-moi un bravo côté cur côté cour C'est mon seul mot d'amour

Bravo French Title: Bravo Monsieur Le Monde
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë; Michel Fugain; P. Els Performer(s): Ann Christy
Bravo Voor deze aarde Een toast Op al die jaren Vol van eindeloos geduld Op de pracht waarmee jij 't leven vult
Bravo Voor deze bomen Die staan en steen intomen Voor de bloem Die fier en fraai Elke dag een nieuw lied doet ontstaan
En voor de zee Die ongestoord en speels de buien op het strand vergeet En voor de wind die plagend in het hoge koren speelt Of uitgelaten met de regen dolle pret beleefd
En voor de zon Die alle kleuren van je regenboog nieuw leven geeft Voor elke ster die fonkelend door je hoge hemel zweeft Bravo voor elk seizoen waar jij een lied voor schreef, een symfonie
Bravo Voor moeder aarde In ruil voor al die jaren Doet de mens je zoveel pijn En vervangt je kleur door zwart en grijs
Bravo Voor moeder aarde Geen dank voor al die jaren Heeft de mens geen tijd voor jou En dan dat elk kind veel van je houdt
Less Of Me Composer(s): Glen Campbell First release by: Glen Campbell - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists
Let me be a little kinder Let me be a little blinder To the faults of those about me Let me praise a little more Let me be when I am weary Just a little bit more cheery Think a little more of others And a little less of me
Let me be a little braver When temptation bids me waver Let me strive a little harder To be all that I should be
Let me be a little meeker With the brother that is weaker Let me think more of my neighbor And a little less of me
Let me be when I am weary Just a little bit more cheery Let me serve a little better Those that I am strivin' for
Let me be a little meeker With the brother that is weaker Think a little more of others And a little less of me

Tracké dans un désert de solitude Par un ange que l'obsession brûle Armé d'amour La passion ton seul recours
Victime de tes fantaisies La moindre résistance est impossible Tes jours sont comptés La passion poursuit ses habitudes Rien ne rattrape le temps perdu Ton âme est ailleurs Tu es l'esclave de ton coeur
Et tu dis All I want to do Is to be with you Et tu dis All I want to do Is to be with you
Perdu dans l'underground Les jours se suivent et se ressemblent Rien n'est plus fort La fin trouve toujours son homme Prisonnier de tes illusions Tu risques le danger à chaque instant Tout part en fumée Sous les flammes de ton baiser
Et tu dis All I want to do Is to be with you Et tu dis All I want to do Is to be with you
Sur les boulevards des rêves brisés Personne ne peut s'échapper Tout sombre dans l'oubli Le jour tourne à la nuit La mise en scène est sans rappel L'amour est la seule raison d'être Jusqu'à la dernière heure Tu seras l'esclave de ton coeur
Et tu dis All I want to do Is to be with you Et tu dis All I want to do Is to be with you Et tu dis All I want to do Is to be with you Et tu dis All I want to do Is to be with you
Brave Sir Robin Composer(s): Eric Idle; Innes; Neil Performer(s): Monty Python
Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot He was not afraid to die, O brave Sir Robin He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away And all his limbs hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin His head smashed in and his heart cut out And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged And his nostrils raped and his bottom burnt off and his penis... He is brave Sir Robin, Brave Sir Robin who... To fight and............... Brave Sir Robin ran away Bravely, ran away...away... When danger reared its ugly head He bravely turned his tail and fled Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about And gallantly he chickened out Bravely talking to his feet He beat a very brave retreat Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin
L'espérance Folle Composer(s): Guy Béart Performer(s): Guy Béart
C'est l'espérance folle Qui nous console De tomber du nid Et qui demain prépare Pour nos guitares D'autres harmonies
S'élève l'espérance Dans le silence Soudain de la nuit Et les matins qui chantent Déjà enchantent Nos soirs d'aujourd'hui
Viens C'est la fête en semaine viens Je t'attends, tu ne sais plus rien Plus rien ne nous sépare viens Viens Si les larmes t'ont fait du bien Ce sourire est déjà le lien Avec les beaux jours qui viennent Reviennent
C'est l'espérance folle Qui carambole Et tombe du temps Je vois dans chaque pierre Cette lumière De nos curs battants
La mort c'est une blague La même vague Nous baigne toujours Et cet oiseau qui passe Porte la trace D'étranges amours
Viens C'est la fête en semaine viens Je t'attends, tu ne sais plus rien Plus rien ne nous sépare viens Viens Si les larmes t'ont fait du bien Ce sourire est déjà le lien Avec les beaux jours qui viennent Reviennent
C'est l'espérance folle Qui danse et vole Au dessus des toits Des maisons et des places La terre est basse Je vole avec toi
Tout est gagné d'avance Je recommence Je grimpe pieds nus Au sommet des montagnes Mâts de cocagne Des cieux inconnus
Serenade (Overhead The Moon Is Beaming) Composer(s): Sigmund Romberg; Dorothy Donnelly Performer(s): Howard Marsh and multiple other artists
Overhead, the moon is beaming White as blossoms on the bough Nothing is heard but the song of a bird Filling all the air with dreaming Would my heart but still it's beating Only you can tell it how, beloved From your window give me greeting Hear my eternal vow
Soft in the trees lies the echo of my longing While all around you my dreams of rapture throng My soul, my joy, my hope, my fear Your heart must tell you that I am near List from above while I pour out my love For you know through my life you are love'd Oh, hear my longing cry, oh, love me or I die
Overhead, the moon is beaming White as blossoms on the bough Nothing is heard but the song of a bird Filling all the air with dreaming Would my heart but still it's beating Only you can tell it how, beloved From your window give me greeting I swear my eternal love
Un azur constellé Pour y finir ses rôles Des plages un peu privées Pour de vieux polissons La misère pittoresque La misère si drôle Qu'on écoute chez soi Sur son microsillon
Des étudiants vivants Qui sentent la potence La vérité qui ne tiens jamais qu'à un fil Et puis la peur du feu et de la délivrance 36 ans de cachot vous font les yeux fragiles Je parlais un peu de l'Espagne
Y'a un ruisseau de sang Derrière ton parasol Un rebelle anonyme Glisse sous les arcades Palomita mia del mi corazon Sur tes cartes postales Claquent des fusillades
Des condamnés à morts Qui roulent dans tes vagues Des poètes affamés Qui saignent leurs chansons Des touristes fleuris Comme des promenades Bronzent, bleus et poilus Comptent leurs aditions
Et le français moyen Se sentant enfin riche Achève son décor Rustique et ses galops Sur la desserte horrible Il clous entre ses biches Un vilain Christ noir À tête de taureau
Les âmes exilées Qui crèvent en exil Les prêtres défroqués Qui finissent au cachot Ne dérangeront pas Ces sinistres débiles Aux cerveaux ramollis Coulants sous les chapeaux

After Sweet Memories, play Born To Lose again I'm here most every night until the music ends I know you know my story, I hear it now and then So after Sweet Memories play Born To Lose again

L'escale Composer(s): Jean Marèze - Marguerite Monnot Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Le ciel est bleu la mer est verte Laisse un peu la f'nêtre ouverte
Le flot qui roule à l'horizon Me fait penser à un garçon Qui ne croyait ni Dieu ni diable Je l'ai rencontré vers le nord Un soir d'escale sur un port Dans un bastringue abominable L'air sentait la sueur et l'alcool Il ne portait pas de faux col Mais un douteux foulard de soie En entrant je n'ai vu que lui Et mon cur en fut ébloui De joie
Le ciel est bleu la mer est verte Laisse un peu la f'nêtre ouverte
Il me prit la main sans un mot Il m'entraîna hors du bistro Tout simplement d'un geste tendre Ce n'était pas un compliqué Il demeurait au bord du quai Je n'ai pas cherché à comprendre Sa chambre donnait sur le port Des marins saouls chantaient dehors Un bec de gaz un halo blême Éclairait le triste réduit Il m'écrasait tout contre lui Je t'aime
Le ciel est bleu la mer est verte Laisse un peu la f'nêtre ouverte
Son baiser me brûle toujours Est ce là ce qu'on dit l'amour Son bateau mouillait dans la rade Chassant les ombres de la nuit Au jour naissant il s'est enfui Pour rejoindre ses camarades Je l'ai vu monter sur le pont Et si je ne sais pas son nom Je connais celui du navire Un navire qui s'est perdu Quant au marin je ne l'ose plus Rien dire
Le ciel est bas la mer est grise Ferme la f'nêtre à la brise
Brave New World Composer(s): Steve Miller Performer(s): Steve Miller Band
We're driving fast From a dream of the past To the brave new world Where nothing will last That comes from the past It's a brave new world Put a smile on your face As we walk with space In the brave new world Now as you begin You're born once again With the rising sun
Something new, nothing old Something true, something gold No spirit of the past Can hold you back From the brave new world
The direction to start Is inside your heart To the brave new world If you're free in your heart You can make a new start It's a brave new world There's nothing to hide Leave your troubles behind It's a brave new world I told you, my friend And I'll tell you again Your trip has begun
Something new, nothing old Something true, something gold The direction to start Is inside your heart To the brave new world
Lesbian Seagull Composer(s): Tom Wilson Weinberg Performer(s): Engelbert Humperdinck
Over rocks and trees and sand Soaring over cliffs And gently floating down to land She proudly lifts her voice To sound her mating call And soon her mate responds by singing Caw Caw Caw Come with me
Lesbian Seagull
Settle down and rest with me
Fly with me lesbian seagull
To my little nest by the sea With me that's where you belong with me I know I can be strong when you're with me She skims the water At the new time to seek Her fish and she emerges With one squirming in her beak
She plays among the waves And hides between the swells She walks the beach at twilight
Searching for some shells Come with me
Lesbian Seagull
Settle down and rest with me
Oh fly with me lesbian seagull
To my little nest by the sea
With me that's where you belong with me I know I can be strong when you're -- you're with me
And in the evening As they watch the setting sun She loooks at her as if to say The day is done It's time to find their shelter
Hidden in the dunes
And fall asleep the Music of the moon You and me
Lesbian seagull
You just watch the world oh my
Just you and me lesbian seagull
Side by side with me 'till we die ('Till we die) You and I We can make it if we try Our love will keep us flyin' high
Brave New World Composer(s): Robert Calvert Performer(s): Robert Calvert
See that fine full fresh river that's a flowin' like the place that I'll be goin' on the day I die That red-wood tree growing higher than a masthead won't allow no force to blast it 's branches from the sky This morning dew, don't it take like wine to you in this brand-new world so brave and true This golden corn is gleaming like it's just been born in a brave new world, a brave new world ... out of the blue See that fat salmon swimming in the water has anybody ever caught a fish like that at all? There's herds of deer and droves of Buffalo a roamin' it's enough to do your dome in it's A merical! This morning dew, don't it take like wine to you in this brand-new world so brave and true This golden corn is gleaming like it's just been born in a brave new world, a brave new world ... out of the blue Feel that sun like a great gold gong that's beating like a brass-bell fanfare greeting summoning the day And hear that bird unfurls its song and hoist it flying like a flag that's testifying more than words can say This morning dew, don't it take like wine to you in this brand-new world so brave and true This golden corn is gleaming like it's just been born in a brave new world, a brave new world ... out of the blue
