Moon Love Composer(s): André Kostelanetz; Mack David; Mack Davis Performer(s): Al Donohue
Will this be moon love Nothing but moon love Will you be gone when the dawn comes stealing through? Are these just moon dreams Grand while the moon beams But when the moon fades away Will my dreams come true? Much as I love you Don't let me love you If it must pay for your kiss with lonely tears Say it's not moon love Tell me it's true love Say you'll be mine When the moon disappears
Luna De Otoño Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Luna de otoño, dulce mirada dime que escondes, tras esa sonrisa vacía y callada Quizá una pena, que hirió tu alma por eso vuelas, perdida en la noche queriendo olvidarla A través de ti, descubro mi vida también llevo escrita una pena en el corazón a través de ti, me acuerdo de ella por eso regreso en las noches buscando su amor A través de ti Porque andas triste, luna de plata si las estrellas, perfuman la noche como rosas blancas Quiero decirte, adiós para siempre porque cansado, me marcho a otra parte detrás de otra suerte A través de ti, descubro mi vida también llevo escrita una pena en el corazón a través de ti, me acuerdo de ella por eso regreso en las noches buscando su amor Pero hoy me voy Pero hoy me voy Pero hoy me voy
Moon Country Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Hoagy Carmichael Performer(s): Hoagy Carmichael and various other artists
I long for that moon country That possum and coon country That sycamore heaven back south Ill lose my mind till I get there I long for that old country That good for the soul country With folk cooking things that melt in your mouth Mm-mm when my cousin Cindy Lou Plays a twilight hymn to you She makes that old piano Sound exactly like brand new I long for that moon country Thats where I should be cause that old moon country is home to me

Moon Above Malaya Composer(s): Jimmy Kennedy; John Turner Performer(s): Eve Boswell and various other artists
Moon above Malaya Shine down on my sweetheart Sing song girl of the eastern star Down in a town by a native bazaar She's all that I adore From here to Singapore
Soon she'll hear me calling From my drifting sampan Then we'll dream in a bamboo hut No one to care if I'm kissing her But the moon above Malaya
Soon she'll hear me calling From my drifting sampan Then we'll dream in a bamboo hut No one to care if I'm kissing her But the moon above Malaya
Luna Caprese ((Italian Version: Luna Caprese (Peppino Di Capri)) Composer(s): Cesare Augusto - Enrico Ricciard - G. Gosset - J. Grelbin Performer(s): Dalida
Ohé cumme cantate 'sta canzone Vuie ça suffrite 'e pene de l'amore Capri ve po 'ncantà cu 'na parola
Tu luna luna tu luna caprese Tous les amants d'un soir toujours se plaisent Ces jours des amoureux prennent en vacances Chantent sous les étoiles une romance Berçés par les accents de la guitare C'est avec un regard que se déclare Son fou désir d'aimer son impatience Les plus tendres aveux sont des silences
Luna caprese fa innamorare Pierre du temps passé vieille dentelle Témoin de tout l'amour des curs fidèles Tu luna luna tu luna caprese Résonne dans tes murs toujours le même Sous la luna caprese en Italie Avec toi je voudrais finir ma vie
Ohé, comme cantate 'sta canzone Vuie ça suffrite 'e pene de l'amore Capri ve po 'ncantà cu 'na parola
Moon Composer(s): Michael Caleo; Jack Miles Performer(s): Sam Browne
Moon, tell me about my love Tell me, Oh Moon, who is she thinking of Does she belong to me Or is she fancy free While you are gleaming, beaming, oh let me know
Moon, are we to be apart Tell me, Oh Moon, has she another heart Though it would hurt me so Still I would like to know Oh Moon, Oh Moon
Luna Composer(s): Tom Petty Performer(s): Tom Petty
White light cut a scar in the sky Thin line of silver The night was all clouded with dreams Wind made me shiver Black and yellow pools of light Outside my window Luna come to me tonight I am a prisoner Luna glide down from the moon
The clouds are all silver and black Floating around me Luna come into my eyes Luna surround me With black and yellow pools of light Fall by my window Luna come to me tonight I am a prisoner Luna glide down from the moon
The clouds are all silver and black Floating around me Luna come into my eyes Luna surround me With black and yellow pools of light Fall by my window Luna come to me tonight I am a prisoner Luna glide down from the moon
Moody's Mood For Love Composer(s): Dorothy Fields; Jimmy McHugh; James Moody Performer(s): King Pleasure
(He:) There I go, there I go, there I go There I go.. Pretty baby, you are the soul who snaps my control Such a funny thing but every time youre near me I never can behave You give me a smile and then Im wrapped up in your magic Theres music all around me, crazy music Music that keeps calling me so very close to you Turns me your slave Come and do with me any little thing you want to Anything baby, just let me get next to you Am I insane or do I really see heaven in your eyes? Bright as stars that shine up above you in the clear blue skies How I worry about you Just cant live my life without you Baby come here, dont have no fear Oh, is there a wonder why Im really feeling in the mood for love? So tell me why stop to think About this weather, my dear? This little dream might fade away There I go talking out of my head again, oh baby Wont you come and put our two hearts together? That would make me strong and brave Oh when we are one, Im not afraid, Im not afraid If theres a cloud up above us Go on and let it rain Im sure our love together will endure a hurricane Oh my baby Wont you please let me love you And give a relief from this awful misery?
(She:) What is all this talk about loving me, my sweet? I am not afraid, not anymore, not like before Cant you understand me? Now baby, please pull yourself together, do it soon My souls on fire, come on and take me Ill be what you make me, my darling, my sweet
(He:) Oh baby, you make me feel so good Let me take you by the hand Come let us visit out there In that new promised land Maybe there we can find A good place to use a loving state of mind Im so tired of being without And never knowing what loves about... James Moody, you can come on in man And you can blow now if you want to
L'un Vers L'autre Composer(s): Alain Boublil - Claude-Michel Schönberg
Éponine Deux anges qui se découvrent n'ont rien à expliquer deux âmes qui se retrouvent ont tout dit sans parler j'ai souvent rêvé dans les bras de Marius d'être à sa place devant ce bonheur d'un autre monde la jalousie s'efface
Ils marchaient sans savoir l'un vers l'autre comme la chance quand elle cherche le hasard deux enfants mis au monde l'un par l'autre pour jouer les héros d'une histoire
Ils descendent des nuages rayonnants de mystère pour faire un long voyage d'amour sur cette terre
À peine se sont-ils vus qu'ils se sont reconnus avant de se connaître
Le bonheur leur va bien l'un à l'autre un aveugle en son cur pourrait le voir le bonheur ça fait mal chez les autres quand on n'a pas de rôle dans l'histoire
Mais dans une pièce a deux les autres n'ont pas d'réplique ils sont dans le public
Ils marchaient sans savoir l'un vers l'autre et la chance a trouvé le hasard on n'peut plus les aimer l'un sans l'autre sans trahir la morale de l'histoire
Moody River Composer(s): Gary D. Bruce Originally performed by: Chase Webster Covered by various other artists
(Moody river, moody river)
Moody river, more deadly than the vainest knife Moody river, your muddy water took my baby's life
Last Saturday evenin' came to the old oak tree It stands beside the river where you were to meet me On the ground your glove I found With a note addressed to me It read "Dear love, I've done you wrong" "Now I must set you free" "No longer can I live with this hurt and this sin" "I just couldn't tell you that guy was just a friend"
Moody river, more deadly than the vainest knife Moody river, your muddy water took my baby's life
I looked into the muddy water and what could I see? I saw a lonely, lonely face just lookin' back at me Tears in his eyes and a prayer on his lips And the glove of his lost love at his fingertips
Moody river, more deadly than the vainest knife Moody river, your muddy water took my baby's life
L'un D'entre Eux Inventa La Mort
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë - Gilbert Bécaud
Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud
Il y a des millions d'années
Il y a des millions d'années
Quand le diable n'était pas né
Quand le diable n'était pas né
Tous les hommes étaient immortels
Mais l'un d'entre eux, qui était plus fort
L'un d'entre eux inventa la mort
Ce fut une révolution
Jusque-là, les filles étaient belles
On ne se battait pas pour elles
On ne se battait pas pour elles
Jusque-là, les hommes étaient forts
Mais l'un d'entre eux qui était plus fort
L'un d'entre eux inventa la mort
Et l'on vit les cheveux blanchir
Et l'on vit les dos se courber
Et l'on vit la vie s'envoler
Et l'on vit la vie s'envoler
Des curs, des âmes et des corps
Mais l'un d'entre eux qui était plus fort
L'un d'entre eux inventa la mort
Alors lui, le petit malin
Devint le Dieu, le souverain
Il régnait comme un vrai tyran
Il régnait comme un vrai tyran
Sur la pluie et sur le beau temps
Sur la pluie et sur le vent du Nord
Il avait inventé la mort
Il avait inventé la mort
Il avait inventé l'enfer
Les voleurs et les assassins
La pneumonie et le cancer
La pneumonie et le cancer
La guerre et les conquistadors
Il était vraiment le plus fort
Il avait inventé la mort
Il avait inventé la mort
Il restait quand même l'amour
Pour les hommes, c'était l'opium
Ils s'aimaient tant qu'ils le pouvaient
Ils s'aimaient tant qu'ils le pouvaient
Puis un jour ils se détestaient
Et l'amour devenait la mort
Et l'amour devenait la mort
Ils mouraient de n'importe quoi
De misère, d'un bobo au doigt
En marchant, volant ou nageant
En marchant, volant ou nageant
Dans un lit, dans un guet-apens
Ils étaient condamnés à mort
Ils étaient condamnés à mort
Pour se concilier les faveurs
De l'impitoyable seigneur
On brûla quelques inventeurs
On brûla quelques inventeurs
Des poètes et que sais-je encore
Mais la mort demeurait la mort
Mais la mort demeurait la mort
De l'encens, des cierges et des fleurs
Pour fair' plaisir à leur Seigneur
Pour fair' plaisir à leur Seigneur
Des Credo, des Confiteor
Des Pater et que sais-je encore
Mais la mort demeurait la mort
Mais la mort demeurait la mort
Alors les hommes se sont dit
"Que peut-on attendre de lui?
"Que peut-on attendre de lui?
Il faudra travailler longtemps
Il faudra travailler longtemps
Peut-être pendant cent mille ans
Peut-être plus longtemps encore"
Peut-être plus longtemps encore"
Alors les hommes
Ont pris un cur qui ne battait plus
Et puis
Lui ont redonné la vie que l'on croyait perdue
Les hommes
Ont visité les planètes une à une
D'abord
La vieille Lune et Mars et Jupiter et Neptune
Les hommes
Se sont envolés droit vers les étoiles
Et puis
Sont revenus tout raconter dans leurs cathédrales
Les hommes
Après avoir longtemps, longtemps cherché
Enfin
Ont découvert le secret de
L'immortalité
Fous de joie d'avoir découvert
Le grand secret de l'Univers
Ils ont mis leurs plus beaux habits
Ils ont mis leurs plus beaux habits
Et sont partis vers celui qui
Et sont partis vers celui qui
Leur avait inventé la mort
Leur avait inventé la mort
Ils avaient vraiment bonne mine
Là-haut dans leurs super machines
Mais en arrivant au Palais
Mais en arrivant au Palais
Ils avaient les mains qui tremblaient
Et le cur qui battait très fort
Et le cur qui battait très fort
Une grande porte s'ouvrit
Et puis d'autres à l'infini
Ils suivirent de longs couloirs
Ils suivirent de longs couloirs
Un huissier en costume noir
Leur dit: "Messieurs vous venez tard, vous venez tard
Depuis ce matin à l'aurore
Depuis ce matin à l'aurore
Dieu est mort"
Dieu est mort"
Lumberjack Song Composer(s): Terry Jones - Michael Palin - Fred Tomlinson Performer(s): Monty Python
Barber: I wanted to be ... a lumberjack!
Leaping from tree to tree, as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia The Giant Redwood The Larch The Fir! The mighty Scots Pine! The lofty flowering Cherry! The plucky little Apsen! The limping Roo tree of Nigeria The towering Wattle of Aldershot! The Maidenhead Weeping Water Plant! The naughty Leicestershire Flashing Oak! The flatulent Elm of West Ruislip! The Quercus Maximus Bamber Gascoigni! The Epigillus! The Barter Hughius Greenus!
With my best buddy by my side, we'd sing! Sing! Sing!
I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay I sleep all night and I work all day
Mounties: He's a lumberjack, and he's okay He sleeps all night and he works all day
Barber: I cut down trees I eat my lunch I go to the lavatory. On Wednesdays I go shoppin' And have buttered scones for tea
Mounties: He cuts down trees He eats his lunch He goes to the lavatory On Wednesdays he goes shopping And has buttered scones for tea
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay He sleeps all night and he works all day
Barber: I cut down trees. I skip and jump I like to press wild flowers I put on women's clothing And hang around in bars
Mounties: He cuts down trees He skips and jumps He likes to press wild flowers He puts on women's clothing And hangs around in bars?!
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay He sleeps all night and he works all day
Barber: I cut down trees I wear high heels Suspendies, and a bra I wish I'd been a girlie Just like my dear Papa
Mounties: He cuts down trees He wears high heels Suspendies, and a bra?!
What's this? Wants to be a girlie?! Oh, My! And I thought you were so rugged! Poofter! ...
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay He sleeps all night and he works all day
He's a lumberjack, and he's okaaaaay He sleeps all night and he works all day

Lumbered Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse - Anthony Newley Performer(s): Anthony Newley and multiple other artists
I've been trapped, lumbered!
I have been lumbered! I've been L-u-m-b-e-r-e-d lumbered But, I'm never gonna get lumbered again
I've been L-u-m-b-e-r-e-d lumbered And I don't L-i-k-e it one small bit I'm too young to be a father There are lots of things I'd rather be Like working down a coal P-i-t pit!
When I ought to be completely unencumbered I've been forced to buy a ring and say Amen I've been L-u-m-b-e-r-e-d lumbered But, I'm never gonna get lumbered again
I've been L-u-m-b-e-r-e-d lumbered I'm completely C-h-o-k-e-d choked! Bang, all my lovely visions I've been forced to make decisions Wish I had a quid for ev'ry fag I've smoked
When I think of all the birds with whom I've slumbered Now I'll only ever see them now and then At the weekends and whenever the wife's not around! I've been L-u-m-b-e-r-e-d lumbered But, I'm never gonna get lumbered again
If I ever get my hands upon the idiot that wrote "Into ev'ry life a little rain must fall" I shall take his book of poems And I'll stuff 'em up his ... throat 'Cause it seems to me as though I get it all!
I've been L-u-m-b-e-r-e-d lumbered And the idea doesn't please me very much I was not prepared for marriage I would catch a boat from Harwich But I don't speak any D-u-t-c-h Dutch
Though I know it's true a bachelor's days are numbered I think I should have the choice of saying when I've been L-U-M-B-E-R-E-D lumbered, But, I'm never gonna get lumbered again.
I've been L-u-m-b-e-r-e-d lumbered It's enough to drive a fellow M-a-d! I am scarcely past my childhood I still play the games a child would I'm still playing mums and dads, as you can see
When I think of all the chicks with whom I've rumba'd For the wedding march, I'm lumbered with a hen! (Quack, quack!) I've been quite unduly, well and truly lumbered But, I'm never gonna get Never gonna get, never, never Never gonna get, never gonna get, never never Never gonna get lumbered again!
(Refrain) J'ai oublié le jour et l'nom d'la rue J'ai oublié mes bagues sur ton piano Mais jamais j'oublierai comme c'était beau, comme c'était chaud J'va toujours me rappeler qu't'as pas essayé d'm'impressionner T'étais pas le plus beau ni le plus doux Mais on a rie ensemble des autre fous Qui font l'amour comme on apprend des livres Ou dans les vues J'ai oublié le jour et le nom d'la rue J'ai oublié le jour mais jamais j'oublierai T'étais là quand j'ai eu besoin de toi T'étais pas là pour me rassurer T'étais pas là pour me consoler Mais m'écouter Comme j'en avais besoin
(Refrain) T'étais pas là pour me consoler T'étais pas là pour me rassurer Mais m'écouter Comme j'en avais besoin
(Refrain) J'va toujours me rappeler qu't'as pas essayé d'm'impressioner J'va toujours me rappeler qu't'as pas essayé d'm'impressioner

Montgomery In The Rain Composer(s): Steve Young Performer(s): Steve Young; Hank Williams
Well here I am again down in Montgomery Alabam My luck ain't never been up but I'm used to it down So all you people don't look at me and frown I don't want to stay here and I'm just passing through your town And I just came back here to see an old stained window pane Before you tear it all down and bring out your crane I did want to see Montgomery in the rain......
Around these streets and old houses alot of changes I been through From the top of the town to washing cars, being down out and blue And I once met a woman here with ways like I never had seen We used to rambel between here and old New Orleans So I've just come back here to remember a joy and a pain To look back to a year through a tear in an old window pane And I did want to see Montgomery in the rain.....
So you don't have to hide your baby you don't have to go get no gun I know I look funny to you all honey but I'm just one Who was once from here and now whose come back again And I'm not asking for nothing but my song a cemetary wind And if its all right with you before I get back on the train I want to go out by Hank's tombstone and cry up a thunder storm chain 'cause I did want to see Montgomery in the rain.......
