L'incendie À Rio Composer(s): Maurice Tézé - Gérard Gustin Performer(s): Sacha Distel
En pleine nuit une sirène Appelle au feu tous les pompiers Et tout Rio qui se réveille Voit brûler l'usin' de café Il n'y a pas de temps à perdre Sinon tout l'quartier va brûler Oui mais voilà Pendant c'temps là à la caserne On entends les pompiers crier
Qu'est-c'qu'on a fait des tuyaux? Des lances et d'la grande échelle Qu'est-c'qu'on a fait des tuyaux? Pas d'panique il nous les faut
Mais l'incendie là-bas fait rage Et le ciel est noir de fumée Et tous les gens dans les étages Se dis'nt: "Mais que font les pompiers?" Il n'y a pas de temps à perdre Sinon tout l'quartier va brûler Oui mais voilà Pendant c'temps là à la caserne On entends les pompiers crier
Qu'est-c'qu'on a fait des tuyaux? Des lances et d'la grande échelle Qu'est-c'qu'on a fait des tuyaux? Pas d'panique il nous les faut
Au p'tit matin on le devine Tout le quartier avait brûlé Il ne restait que des ruines Sur des centain's de mètr's carrés! Quand tout à coup dans le jour blême On vit accourir un pompier Qui s'écria : "Je viens d'la part du capitaine Vous dir' de n'pas vous énerver"
On a r'trouvé les tuyaux Les lances et la grande échelle Mais on est en panne d'auto Et on cherch' la manivelle
La la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la
MacArthur Park Composer(s): J.L. Webb Performer(s): Richard Harris
Spring was never waiting for us, girl It ran one step ahead As we followed in the dance Between the parted pages and were pressed In love's hot, fevered iron Like a striped pair of pants
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no!
I recall the yellow cotton dress Foaming like a wave On the ground around your knees The birds, like tender babies in your hands And the old men playing checkers by the trees
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no!
There will be another song for me For I will sing it There will be another dream for me Someone will bring it I will drink the wine while it is warm And never let you catch me looking at the sun And after all the loves of my life After all the loves of my life You'll still be the one
I will take my life into my hands and I will use it I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it I will have the things that I desire And my passion flow like rivers through the sky And after all the loves of my life After all the loves of my life I'll be thinking of you And wondering why
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no! Oh, no No, no Oh no!!

Adesso arriva lui apre piano la porta poi si butta sul letto e poi e poi ad un tratto io sento afferrarmi le mani le mie gambe tremare e poi e poi e poi e poi spegne adagio la luce, la sua bocca sul collo ha il respiro un po' stanco ho deciso lo mollo ma non so se poi farlo o lasciarlo soffrire l'importante finire adesso volta la faccia questa è l'ultima volta che lo lascio morire e poi e poi ha talento da grande lui nel fare l'amore sa pigliare il mio cuore e poi e poi e poi e poi ha il volto sconvolto io gli dico ti amo ricomincia da capo è violento il respiro io non so se restare o rifarlo morire l'importante è finire

Secretos Entre Tú y yo Dejas la puerta abierta, te sorprendo en mi cama Ya voy, ya voy
Se me escapa tu muslo como un pez en la mano Si te muerdo en el labio, me voy, me voy, me voy Me voy
Son tus pechos nodrizas que amamantan mis sueños Tus pezones espías que recorren mi cuerpo Yo no sé si dejarme Y empezar a ser libre Qué importante Qué imposible
[Aah...]
Gacela (gacela) Despierta ya Con un ansia de bosque una sombra se acerca Ya voy, ya voy
Entre besos furtivos yo me adentro en tu noche Y en la raya del alba, me voy, me voy, me voy Me voy
El ombligo de arena, el sendero de fuego Me conducen jugando hasta el monte de "Venus" Yo no sé si quererte Y empezar a ser libre Qué importante Qué imposible
[Aah...]
Son tus pechos nodrizas que amamantan mis sueños Tus pezones espías que recorren mi cuerpo Yo no sé si dejarme Y empezar a ser libre Qué importante Qué imposible
L'important, C'est La Rose ((Danish Version: Bare Gi' Mig En Rose (by Grethe & Jørgen)) Composer(s): Louis Amade - Gilbert Bécaud First release by: Gilbert Bécaud - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
Toi qui marches dans le vent Seul dans la trop grande ville Avec le cafard tranquille du passant Toi qu'elle a laissé tomber Pour courir vers d'autres lunes Pour courir d'autres fortunes L'important...
L'important c'est la rose L'important c'est la rose L'important c'est la rose Crois-moi
Toi qui cherches quelque argent Pour te boucler la semaine Dans la ville tu promènes ton ballant Cascadeur, soleil couchant Tu passes devant les banques Si tu n'es que saltimbanque L'important...
L'important c'est la rose L'important c'est la rose L'important c'est la rose Crois-moi
Toi, petit, que tes parents Ont laissé seul sur la terre Petit oiseau sans lumière, sans printemps Dans ta veste de drap blanc Il fait froid comme en Bohème T'as le cur comme en carême Et pourtant...
L'important c'est la rose L'important c'est la rose L'important c'est la rose Crois-moi
Toi pour qui, donnant-donnant J'ai chanté ces quelques lignes Comme pour te faire un signe en passant Dis à ton tour maintenant Que la vie n'a d'importance Que par une fleur qui danse Sur le temps...
L'important c'est la rose L'important c'est la rose L'important c'est la rose Crois-moi

Quoi que tu me dises quoi que tu me fasses et même si par moment je sais me mettre à ta place toutes les choses que je comprends sont celles qui me cassent et je ne peux rien vraiment je suis dans l'impasse c'est bien un enfer c'est bien une impasse chaque fois que je te perds en allant chercher ta trace dans tes longs, désespérants silences de glace et je ne peux rien vraiment je suis dans l'impasse comment sortir de là? c'est une drôle d'angoisse d'être dans l'impasse alors j'aime tomber au fond d'un Chivas car je me mets à rêver que c'est toi qui me ramasses que tu veux bien me parler et que tu m'embrasses pour m'aider à supporter d'être dans l'impasse comment sortir de là? c'est une drôle d'angoisse d'être dans l'impasse

Rosie: Eight years, eight years That's how long I've wasted on him! That's all, I'm through Albert dear, to put it sweetly To hell with you! What did I ever see in him? How did I ever get evolved that way? Now that it's over I can smile and say What did I ever see in him? Boy, I was way out on the limb Now that my feet are on the ground again Now that my senses have been found again What did I ever see in him? Is he tender? No, he's not! Is he thoughtful? No, he's not! Am I crazy? What's he's got that I found so damned appealing? What did he ever do for me? Well, to be honest he was sometimes nice But still it wasn't worth that awful price It was rough from the start Broken dates, broken nails, broken heart How did I ever? Why did I ever? What did I ever?
Rosie and Kim: Do we need them? No, we don't! Do we want them? No, we don't! Will we leave them? No, we won't! Tell me what did I say that for? What did we ever see in them? How could we ever think that they were nice? Take it from us we pay an awful price It was rough from the start Broken dates, broken nails, broken heart What did I ever see in him

Hand in hand we'll mosey Me and little Rosie We will be so cozy By a fire built for two Oh! I once heard a poem that goes "A rose is a rose is a rose" Well I don't agree Take it from me There's one rose sweeter than any that grows! That's my Rosie, I'm so glad she chose me Life is one sweet beautiful song to me Now my life is rosy (Oh, we'll be happy, I know) Since I found my Rosie (Off to the preacher we'll go) With a girl like Rosie (So how could we be blue?) How could I be blue?
Rosie: Oh we'll have us a home out west A nice little split-level nest And in ev'ry room roses in bloom...
Albert: But there's on rose sweeter than all of the rest! Then that's my Rosie

Rings on your fingers And tears for your crown That is the story Of old Chinatown
How Lovely To Be A Woman Composer(s): Charles Strouse; Lee Adams Performer(s): Ann-Margret and various other artists
When you're a skinny child of fourteen Wide with braces from ear to ear You doubt that you will ever be appealing Then Hallelujah! You are fifteen And the braces disappear And your skin is smooth and clear And you have that happy grown-up female feeling How lovely to be a woman The wait was well worth while How lovely to wear mascara And smile a woman's smile How lovely to have a figure That's round instead of flat Whenever you hear boys whistle You're what they're whistling at It's wonderful to feel The way a woman feels It gives you such a glow just to know You're wearing lipstick and heels! How lovely to be a woman And have one job to do To pick out a boy and train him And then when you are through You've made him the man you want him to be! Life's lovely when you're a woman like me! How wonderful to know The things a woman knows How marvelous to wait for a date In simply beautiful clothes! How lovely to be a woman And change from boys to men To go to a fancy nightclub And stay out after ten How lovely to be so grown-up and free! Life's lovely when you're a woman like me!
