Niin Kaunis On Taivas First performance by: Jasmine - 1996
Niin kaunis on taivas, kaunis on maa Me tähtien loisteessa yö kuljetaan Rannalle kun käsikkäin saavutaan Luonas olla tahdon vaan
Joka sekunnin, jonka kanssas olla saan Joka minuutin, tunnen yhä varmemmin Rakkaus ikuinen, kohtalomme yhteinen Se uni suloinen, kuin on
Niin kaunis on taivas, kaunis on maa Me tähtien loisteessa yö kuljetaan Rannalle kun käsikkäin saavutaan Luonas olla tahdon vaan
Joka sekunnin, jonka luonas olla saan Joka minuutin, tunnen yhä paremmin Voima tunteiden, meille sykkii rakkauden Se uni suloinen kuin uni on, on
Niin kaunis on taivas, kaunis on maa Me tähtien loisteessa yö kuljetaan Rannalle kun käsikkäin saavutaan Luonas olla tahdon vaan
Niin kaunis on taivas, kaunis on maa Me tähtien loisteessa yö kuljetaan Rannalle kun käsikkäin saavutaan Luonas olla tahdon vaan Luonas olla tahdon vaan Luonas olla tahdon vaan
Lord, I Hope This Day Is Good Performer(s): Don Williams
Lord, I hope this day is good I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood I should be thankful Lord, I know I should But Lord I hope this day is good
Lord have you forgotten me I've been prayin' to you faithfully I'm not sayin' I'm a righteous man But Lord I hope you understand
I don't need fortune and I don't need fame Send down the thunder Lord, send down the rain But when you're plannin' just how it should be Plan a good day for me
Lord, I hope this day is good I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood I should be thankful Lord, I know I should But Lord I hope this day is good
You've been the king since the dawn of time All that I'm asking is a little less cryin' It might be hard for the devil to do But it would be easy for you
Lord, I hope this day is good I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood I should be thankful Lord, I know I should But Lord I hope this day is good
Sossity, You're A Woman Composer(s): Ian Anderson Performer(s): Jethro Tull; Wayne Krantz
Hello you straight-laced lady Dressed in white but your shoes aren't clean Painted them up with polish In the hope we can't see where you've been The smiling face that you've worn To greet me rising at morning Sent me out to work for my score Please me and say what it's for Give me the straight-laced promise And not the pathetic lie Tie me down with your ribbons And sulk when I ask you why Your sunday paper voice cries Demanding truths I deny The bitter-sweet kiss you pretended Is offered, our affair mended Sossity: you're a woman Society: you're a woman
All of the tears you're wasting Are for yourself and not for me It's sad to know you're aging Sadder still to admit I'm free Your immature physical toy has grown Too young to enjoy at last your straight-laced agreement Woman, you were too old for me Sossity: you're a woman Society: you're a woman

Sotto Il Segno Dei Pesci Composer(s): Antonello Venditti Performer(s): Antonello Venditti
Ti ricordi quella strada eravamo io e te e la gente che correva e gridava insieme a noi Tutto quel che voglio - pensavo - e' solamente amore ed unità per noi che meritiamo un'altra vita più giusta e libera se vuoi...
Corri amore corri non aver paura...
Ti chiedevi che ti manca? una casa tu ce l'hai hai una donna una famiglia che ti tira fuori dai guai
ma tutto quel che voglio - pensavo - e' solamente amore ed unità per noi che meritiamo un altra vita più giusta e libera se vuoi nata sotto il segno nata sotto il segno dei pesci...
Ed il rock passava lento sulle nostre discussioni diciott'anni sono pochi per promettersi il futuro ma tutto quel che voglio dicevo e' solamente amore
ed unità per noi e meritiamo un altra vita violenta e tenera se vuoi nata sotto il segno nata sotto il segno dei pesci...
E Marina se ne e' andata oggi insegna in usa scuola vive male e insoddisfatta e capisce perché e' sola
ma tutto quel che cerca e che vuole e' solamente amore ed unità per noi che meritiamo un altra vista violenta e tenera se vuoi nata sotto il segno nata sotto il segno dei pesci...
E Giovanni e' un ingegnere che lavora in una radio ha bruciato la sua laurea vive solo di parole ma tutto quel che cerca e che vuole e' solamente amore ed unità per noi stretti in libera sorte violenti e teneri se vuoi...
Lord Protect My Child Composer(s): Bob Dylan First recording/First release by: Bob Dylan - 1983/1991 Covered by multiple other artists
For his age, he's wise He's got his mother's eyes There's gladness in his heart He's young and he's wild My only prayer is, if I can't be there Lord, protect my child
As his youth now unfolds He is centuries old Just to see him at play makes me smile No matter what happens to me No matter what my destiny Lord, protect my child
While the world is asleep You can look at it and weep Few things you find are worthwhile And though I don't ask for much No material things to touch Lord, protect my child
He's young and on fire Full of hope and desire In a world that's been raped, raped and defiled If I fall along the way And can't see another day Lord, protect my child
There'll be a time I hear tell When all will be well When God and man will be reconciled But until men lose their chains And righteousness reigns Lord, protect my child
Den Vilda Composer(s): Peter Grönvall - Nanne Grönvall First performance by: One More Time - 1996
Vintern, den sänker sin slöja och bäddar in husen Härden i värdshuset värmer och maten och krusen Där dansar han med den vilda De dansar som virvlar i ett vattenfall Fyllda av stolthet och vilja Dansar som virvlar i ett vattenfall Men rykten i stugorna sprids medan snöflingor faller Stjärnorna gnistrar mot isen som klara kristaller Där flyr han bort med den vilda Dom rusar som virvlar i ett vattenfall Fyllda av stolthet och vilja Rusar som virvlar i ett vattenfall Droskan försvinner i natten Och snön blir till drivor utmed vägens kant Hovslagen ekar bland bergen än Lekande sorglöst som ett vattenfall Natten den sänker sin slöja och suddar ut spåren Var de än är har de styrkan som forsen om våren Där dansar han med den vilda De dansar som virvlar i ett vattenfall Vilda av stolthet och vilja Dansar som virvlar i ett vattenfall

Sotto Il Tiglio Composer(s): Angelo Branduardi Performer(s): Angelo Branduardi
Sotto il tiglio là nella landa là dov'era il nostro letto voi che passate potete vedere come rompemmo fiori ed erba Davanti al bosco cantava l'usignolo e di fiori lei fece un giaciglio Riderà chi passi per di là guardate com'è rossa la sua bocca Sotto il tiglio là nella landa noi rompemmo fiori ed erba voi che passate potete vedere dove io posai la testa Se saprete che lei era con me questo non sarà certo mai vergogna era lei la donna che volevo per essere chiamato col mio nome Sotto il tiglio là nella landa la radica si abbraccia al giglio voi che passate potete vedere come son cresciuti insieme Lei con me rimase solo un anno ma con oro poi intrecciò le chiome e se ne andò, io amavo uno sparviero in alto si levò e volò via Sempre va a caccia di nubi il vento e non può mai fermarsi ma la bellezza è ancor più veloce troppo lento è per lei il vento Così è la nostra vita e il mondo come vento e nube fugge via

Lord Of The Manor Composer(s): Terry Slater Performer(s): The Everly Brothers
The lord of the manor loves the upstairs maid And I tend the flowers of the seeds he lays His collar is velvet, his hands are real soft She sleeps with the master, I'm awakened above I wish in the bedrooms the sheets were all torn I wish that the flowers would only grow thorns
The lord of the manor has a wife of gray He pays the chauffeur to drive her away The lord & my baby are upstairs alone The one who could stop them is physically gone I wish in the bedrooms the sheets were all torn I wish that the flowers would only grow thorns
Sotto Le Lenzuola Composer(s): L. Beretta - Adriano Celentano - Mike DelPrete Performer(s): Adriano Celentano
Io l'altra notte l' ho tradita e so tornato alle cinque Pian piano sotto le lenzuola non la volevo svegliar ma l'abat-jour che è vicino a lei s'illuminò come gli occhi suoi lei mi guardo, io non parlai io non parlai e come Giuda la baciai ehi, ehi, ehi io non giocai quella notte a poker ma sono stato insieme alla sua amica Guardando me sembrava che lei mi leggesse la verità e con la mano accarezzandomi le labbra mi perdonava quel che lei non saprà mai Io amo lei, soltanto lei ma perché mai l'avrò tradita
La sera dopo sono uscito per fare il solito poker avrei voluto che venisse ma lei mi ha detto di no "vai pure, vai, io rimango qui gli amici tuoi son tutti la sveglia sarò quando verrai quando tu verrai" e poi mi disse sorridendo "ehi, ehi, ehi al poker sai, non si gioca in tre e non giocare più con la mia amica" Dagli occhi suoi cadeva giù un lacrimone tinto di blu e con la mano accarezzandole le labbra le dissi "grazie amore mio" e la baciai
Io amo lei, soltanto lei ma perché mai l'avrò tradita oh oh oh... Io amo lei, soltanto lei ma perché mai l'avrò tradita Io amo lei, soltanto lei ma perché mai l'avrò tradita

Vous êtes fous, c'est pas moi, je n'ai pas volé l'orange J'ai trop peur des voleurs, j'ai pas pris l'orange du marchand

L'orage Composer(s): Georges Brassens First release by: Georges Brassens - 1960 Covered by multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages: 1969 - L'uragano (by Beppe Chierici) 1985 - The Thunderstorm (by Graeme Allwright) 2004 - Il temporale (by Nanni Svampa)
Parlez-moi de la pluie et non pas du beau temps Le beau temps me dégoute et m'fait grincer les dents Le bel azur me met en rage Car le plus grand amour qui m'fut donné sur terr' Je l'dois au mauvais temps, je l'dois à Jupiter Il me tomba d'un ciel d'orage
Par un soir de novembre, à cheval sur les toits Un vrai tonnerr' de Brest, avec des cris d'putois Allumait ses feux d'artifice Bondissant de sa couche en costume de nuit Ma voisine affolée vint cogner à mon huis En réclamant mes bons offices
"Je suis seule et j'ai peur, ouvrez-moi, par pitié Mon époux vient d'partir faire son dur métier Pauvre malheureux mercenaire Contraint d'coucher dehors quand il fait mauvais temps Pour la bonne raison qu'il est représentant D'un' maison de paratonnerres"
En bénissant le nom de Benjamin Franklin Je l'ai mise en lieu sûr entre mes bras câlins Et puis l'amour a fait le reste Toi qui sèmes des paratonnerr's à foison Que n'en as-tu planté sur ta propre maison Erreur on ne peut plus funeste
Quand Jupiter alla se faire entendre ailleurs La belle, ayant enfin conjuré sa frayeur Et recouvré tout son courage Rentra dans ses foyers fair' sécher son mari En m'donnant rendez-vous les jours d'intempérie Rendez-vous au prochain orage
À partir de ce jour j'n'ai plus baissé les yeux J'ai consacré mon temps à contempler les cieux À regarder passer les nues À guetter les stratus, à lorgner les nimbus À faire les yeux doux aux moindres cumulus Mais elle n'est pas revenue
Son bonhomm' de mari avait tant fait d'affair's Tant vendu ce soir-là de petits bouts de fer Qu'il était dev'nu millionnaire Et l'avait emmenée vers des cieux toujours bleus Des pays imbécil's où jamais il ne pleut Où l'on ne sait rien du tonnerre
Dieu fass' que ma complainte aille, tambour battant Lui parler de la pluie, lui parler du gros temps Auxquels on a t'nu tête ensemble Lui conter qu'un certain coup de foudre assassin Dans le mill' de mon cur a laissé le dessin D'un' petit' fleur qui lui ressemble
Suddenly There's A Valley (French Version: Soudain, Une Vallée - 1956) Composer(s): Biff Jones - Chuck Meyer First release by: Gogi Grant - 1955 Covered by multiple other artists
When you've climbed the highest mountain When a cloud holds the sunshine in Suddenly there's a valley Where the earth knows peace with man
When a storm hides the distant rainbow And you think you can't find a friend Suddenly there's a valley Where friendships never end
Touched only by the seasons Swept clean by the waving grain Surveyed by a happy bluebird And kissed by the falling rain
When you think there's no bright tomorrow And you feel you can't try again Suddenly there's a valley Where hope and love begin
Suddenly there's a valley Where hope and love begin
