Mother-In-Law Composer(s): Allen Toussaint Originally performed by: Ernie K-Doe Covered by various other artists
Mother-in-law, mother-in-law Mother-in-law, mother-in-law The worst person I know Mother-in-law, mother-in-law She worries me so Mother-in-law, mother-in-law If she leave us alone We would have a happy home Sent from down below Mother-in-law, mother-in-law Mother-in-law, mother-in-law Sin should be her name Mother-in-law, mother-in-law To me they are about the same Mother-in-law, mother-in-law Everytime I open my mouth Then she tries to put me out How could she stoop so low Mother-in-law, mother-in-law Mother-in-law, mother-in-law I come home with my pay Mother-in-law, mother-in-law She ask me what I made Mother-in-law, mother-in-law She thinks her advice is a constitution If she would leave that should be the solution And don't come back no more My mother-in-law, mother-in-law..
Gitano Composer(s): M. Gómez Vao; R. Lizo Performer(s): Raphael
Cuando se pone alegre el sol Sobre los campos del trigal Por el camino van los gitanos Llevando como el caracol su casa a cuestas Y al azar van los gitanos todos los dias Ellos no saben del dolor Y en cada pena hay un cantar Y a gritos dicen sus alegrias
Cuando se pone alegre el sol Sobre los campos del trigal Por el camino van los gitanos Y al pasar se oye una voz Entonando esta cancion
Gitano soy Corro el mundo y no se donde voy Gitano soy Lo que gano lo gasto o lo doy No, no se llorar Ni en la vida deseo triunfar No tengo norte, no tengo guia Para mi todo es igual
Gitane Composer(s): Maurice Robin; Charles Dumont Performer(s): Dalida
Gitane, gitane, gitane Devant le grand café aux tables ennuyées Tout c'est ensoleillé quand elle est arrivée La gitane Fille d'Esmeralda tu déroules tes bras Et tes yeux noirs défient les hommes Et leurs envies
Lorsque tes reins se cassent tes longs cheveux ramassent Le soleil en pépite et ton ventre palpite Bourgeois et va-nu-pied te regardent danser Mais les femmes voudraient bien que tu ailles plus loin Tu ris à pleine dent et continue le bal Comme un jeune animal qui ce saoul en tournant
On ne sait d'où tu viens On ne sait ou tu vas Poussez sur le chemin Comme une fleur des bois
Gitane, gitane, gitane Dans le feu de la danse lorsque le voile glisse De tes seins qui frémissent y a de drôle de silence Oh gitane Tes jambes nues piétinent les regrets qui cheminent Dans les yeux de bado qui caressent ta peau
Fini le tourbillon tu passes et fais la quête Frôlant de ton jupon Les spectateurs honnêtes "Sois généreux senor la jeunesse de mon corps Sa vaut bien un peu d'or même un peu plus encore"
Et riant aux éclats déjà sous les platanes Déjà sous les platanes Est partie la gitane
Take Me Away/Let's Love ((French & Italian Versions: Si Tu M'emportes (Charles Aznavour); Se Tu Mi Porti (Charles Aznavour)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Al Kasha - Joel Hirshhorn Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Take me away to magical fountains As fresh and young and still unsung as you are now And I will swim forever there The tide of pure white water is you, beautifully new
Take me away to whispering mountains Well climb the peak until were weak, but satisfied Your Spring is just beginning now You're like a flower growing free, growing for me
Make me see your world Come love me and make me see your world Just love me and let me be your world Sharing all your highs, looking through your eyes
Take me away to worlds of seclusion We'll stay afloat aboard the boat of all your dreams The coast may be a crazy one Until we find that secret shore we're searching for
Take me away in clouds of illusion Through all the burning hills and deserts of your mind Show me where all your thoughts exist And teach me what I've missed without you in my life
Make me see your world Come love me and make me see your world Just love me and let me be your world Sharing all your highs, looking through your eyes
Take me to the hills, valleys and mountain tops Your boat of dreams, the raging streams you're sailing on It doesn't matter where we go if I can hold you close today So lock the door, take me away
Mother Of Mine, I Still Have You Composer(s): Louis Silvers; Grant Clarke; Al Jolson Performer(s): Al Jolson
Mother, I'm sorry I've wandered away Breaking your heart as I did Now that I've grown up, I've come back to say Things that I felt as a kid, Dear
Mother of mine, when friends all doubt me I still have you, somehow you're just the the same Mother divine, with your arms about me I know I'm not to blame
Gee, ain't it funny, when skies are sunny That's when my pals all want me When things go wrong and they don't want me Mother, I still have you
Mother of mine, when friends all doubt me I still have you, somehow you're just the same Mother divine, with your arms about me I know I'm not to blame
Gee, ain't it funny, when skies are sunny That's when my pals all want me And when things go wrong and they don't want me Mother, I still have you
Gitana, Gitana Composer(s): Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Femme de feu, femme de flammes Couleur de sang d'un coeur ouvert Comme un poignard entrant dans l'âme Ton regard transperce la chair A peine enfant et déjà fille Et mûre avant d'être pubère Quand tu marches sous ta mantille Les hommes voient Naître avec toi Tous leurs enfers.
Fille du vent et du soleil Lorsque tu chantes et que tu danses Avec une fleur à l'oreille Tu assassines l'assistance Gitana, Gitana, Gitana Et quand les machos Espagnols Claquant des mains rythment tes jeux Des talons tu frappes le sol Gitana, Gitana, Gitana Et fais l'amour Et fais l'amour avec les yeux
Cheveux noirs et regard de braise Le teint mat de vivre au grand air Roulant des hanches très à l'aise Tu te fais vagues sur la mer Tes seins dansent sous ton corsage Et tout en toi devient charnel Et quand tu les frôles au passage Les hommes meurent De ton odeur De poivre et miel
Fille du vent et du soleil Lorsque tu chantes et que tu danses Avec une fleur à l'oreille Tu assassines l'assistance Gitana, Gitana, Gitana Et quand les machos Espagnols Claquant des mains rythment tes jeux Des talons tu frappes le sol Gitana, Gitana, Gitana Et fais l'amour Et fais l'amour Et fais l'amour avec les yeux
Take Me As I Am Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant Performer(s): Bob Dylan
Why must you always try to make me over? Take me as I am or let me go White lilies never grow on stalks of clover Take me as I am or let me go You are trying to reshape me in a mould, love In the image of someone you used to know But I won't be a stand-in for an old love Take me as I am or let me go
You've tried to change me ever since you've met me Take me as I am or let me go If you can not overlook my faults, forget me Take me as I am or let me go
You are trying to reshape me in a mould, love In the image of someone you used to know But I won't be a stand-in for an old love Take me as I am or let me go
Mother You, Smother You Composer(s): Brian Holland; Lamont Dozier; Edward Holland Jr.; R. Dean Taylor Performer(s): The Supremes; Christine Schumacher
I wanna mother you, smother you with a love you've never known I wanna talk to you say sweet things to you Let you know that I'm yours alone Now, you need a lot of loving and my darlin', you need it now You've been alone for so long You've forgotten what love is all about Let me rock you in the cradle of my arms let my love protect you from all harm I'll be your shelter when you want me to I'll be your comfort when you need me to

Ooh, mother you, smother you with a love you've never known I wanna talk to you say sweet things to you Let me know that I'm yours alone
Giros existe un cielo y un estado de coma cambiar en torno de persona a persona giros dar media vuelta y ver que pasa allá afuera no todo el mundo tiene primavera
Flaco donde estas? estoy imaginándome otro lugar estoy juntando información estoy queriendo ser otro, otro tipo mi necesidad se va modificando con las demás así mi luna llega a vos, así yo llego a tu luna
Giros todo da vuelta como una gran pelota todo da vueltas casi ni se nota giros fotografía de distintos lugares fotográficamente tan distantes
Suena un bandoñon, parece el de otro tipo pero soy yo que sigo caminando igual silbando un tango oxidado
Take Me Around Again Composer(s): Ed. Rose - Kerry Mills
Said Sammie to Annie, "close up the pianie, let's go thro' the park for a stroll" But Annie told Sammie "You're off your nanny, that park proposition is old" Said he, "I know somewhere There's nothing but fun there It's Coney, we went there before" Then Annie grab'd Sammie, said "That will be dandy, I'm dying to go there once more"
Said Sammie, "I'm going, we've seen all worth showing" but Annie just clung to his arm "I've spent all my money So don't be a dummy, and act like you just left the farm" But Annie just pouted "Get tickets," they shouted, and Sam look'd at Annie and sigh'd "My bank roll's a quarter, and if it gets shorter We'll have to walk back" he replied
"Take me all around again, 'round again, 'round again What's the odds how much we spend Pa's rich and Ma don't care Let's go down the chutes again, off again, on again Refuse me, you'll lose me Come on and amuse me And take me around again
Mother Of Violence Composer(s): Jill Gabriel; Peter Gabriel Performer(s): Peter Gabriel
Walking the street with her naked feet So full of rhythm but I can't find the beat Snapping her heels, clicking her toes Everybody knows just where she goes
Fear, Fear, she's the mother of Violence Making me tense to watch the way she breed Fear, she's the mother of Violence You know self-defense is all you need It's getting hard to breathe It's getting so hard to believe To believe in anything at all
Mouth all dry, eyes bloodshot Data stored on a microdot Kicking the cloud with my moccasin shoes TV dinner, TV news
Fear, Fear, she's the mother of Violence Don't make any sense to watch the way she breed Fear, she's the mother of Violence Making me tense to watch the way she feed The only way you know she's there Is the subtle flavor in the air Getting hard to breathe Getting hard to believe in anything at all But Fear
Que tu as de beaux champs d'orge! Giroflé - girofla Ton verger de fruits regorge le bon temps est là... Entends - tu ronfler la forge? Giroflé - girofla L'canon les fauchera, l'cannon les fauchera!
Que tu as la maison douce! Giroflé - girofla L'ombre y dort, la fleur y pousse l' bonheur y viendra... Voit la lune qui devient rousse... Giroflé - girofla L'avion la brûlera, l'avion la brûlera!
Que tu as de belles filles! Giroflé - girofla Dans leurs yeux, où le soleil brille l'amour descendra... Sur la plaine on se fusille... Giroflé - girofla L'soldat les violera, l'soldat les violera!
Que tes fils sont forts et tendres! Giroflé - girofla C'est plaisir de les entendre à qui chantera! Dans huit jours on vients les prendre... Giroflé - girofla L'corbeau les mangera, l'corbeau les mangera!
Tant qu'y aura des militaires Giroflé - girofla soit ton fils, soit le mien on n'verra par toute la terre jamais rien de bien... On t'tuera pour te faire taire par derrière comme un chien... Et tout ça pour rien! Et tout ça pour rien!
Take Me Along ((Adapted from: Emmenez-Moi (Charles Aznavour) - 1973)) ((Dutch Version: Neem Me Toch Mee (Bart Kaëll) - 1998)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Dee Shipman Performer(s): Charles Aznavour - 1978
On the docks where the boredom of life Is all that I own I see boats coming in with the fruits Of places unknown
I watch as they come from the world in the sun And I see in my mind That there is farewell to this cold golden hell They can leave far behind
Let me go where they go Let me fly the winds that they fly For to stay in this place Will destroy a man's certain life
Take me along, a long way from here Take me along to a far away shore When you're poor it's easy to bare With sunshine and soft summer air
At the end of the day In a bar, with sailors I stand And I talk about girls, about love A glass in my hand
Then in my dreams, I can travel at seas On a float, southern-bound There I can hold all the magic in gold Of the love I have found
When the bars on the quayside are closed Alone I remain I continue to dream And each night the dream is the same
Take me along, a long way from here Take me along to a far away shore When you're poor it's easy to bare With sunshine and soft summer air
Very soon I will take any troubled chance That I can Though I dream like a child For my dreams I'll work like a man
I'll work and reprive for my to ticket-to-ride Where the sun shines for me Surviving any storms, and be wild to be warm That's the way I must be
I'll be leaving behind no regrets And hold my past And I'll go to the sea As I'll sail to freedom at last
Take me along, a long way from here Take me along to a far away shore When you're poor it's easy to bare With sunshine and soft summer air
Take me along, a long way from here Take me along to a far away shore When you are poor it's easy to bare With sunshine and soft summer air
Mother Of Us All Composer(s): Doug Phillips; Ed Whiting Performer(s): Petula Clark
Hope, is the common ground we walk upon And peace, is the lamp that lights the way Faith, is believing in it all Though trouble may arise And cause some tears to fall
Turn on your light, that other souls may see And, offer some comfort when you wait Open your heart, and lend an ear For when the door is open You're standing near So very near To all the sadness And the laughter in the world We've all been strangers through
This very year let's bring our sadness And our laughter to the world Before the storm is through
Hope, is the light that shows in all mankind And peace, as a child for all to see Faith, and it soon will come to be That we may walk together Like little children Back to the mother of us all Back to the garden, we've come away from Back to the mother of us all
Faith, and it soon will come to be That we may walk together Like little children Back to the mother of us all Back to the garden, we walked away from Back to the mother of us all
Let's walk together Like little children Back to the mother of us all Back to the garden, we turned away from Back to the mother of us all
Let's walk together Like little children Back to the mother of us all Back to the garden We turned away from
Girls, Women And Ladies Composer(s): Ed Bruce; Ron Peterson; Patsy Bruce Performer(s): Ed Bruce
There was only me and her and him The bar was taking last call So I thought I'd move on in I was slick and feeling like a man So I took the stool between them And ordered one more round For me and her and him
I laid my arm across the back of her bar stool Don't remember what I said But at the time it sounded cool She just pushed her drink away and never looked at me She paid her tab, tipped the man And left me sitting there Alone with him
- Chorus - He said, "There's girls, there's women and there's ladies There's yesses and nos and maybes There's teasing and pleasing They start learning when they're babies There's girls, there's women and there's ladies"
He pushed his old straw hat back and he grinned "Ain't they all mysteries And, sonny, it's a sin They're all sitting on the world We're trying to win But, Lord, I love a mystery So let's drink another round To me and you and them"
Neem Me Toch Mee ((Adapted from: Emmenez-Moi (Charles Aznavour) - 1973)) ((English Version: Take Me Along (Charles Aznavour) - 1978)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Johan Verminnen Performer(s): Bart Kaëll - 1998
In het dok waar de verveling weegt op mijn bestaan Komen schepen, hun ruimen gevuld met vruchten en graan Hun namen doen me altijd dromen over plaatsen waar ik nooit zal komen Zo heel mooi, zo heel ver Waar de zomers eeuwig duren, waar het zand je huid zal schuren Zo heel ruw, zo ver weg
Ik ken enkel een hemel vol wolken zo grijs Hier eindigt m'n wereld, ik ging nooit op reis
Neem me toch mee naar het land van de zon Zeg nu niet nee, maar zeg me nu 'kom' Ik weet, er is op de wereld een plaats voor mij in de zon
In de kroeg maken de zeelui altijd plezier In een dronken bui roepen zij 'breng ons meer bier' En dan grijpen ze hun kans, ja de poppen gaan aan het dansen Want ze zijn nu op zwier En ze drinken nog veel meer, zo veel meer dan die andere keer Het wordt vroeg, nooit genoeg
Als de kroeg dan sluit en ze duiken in hun kajuit Dan benijd ik hen en ik neem dan een besluit
Neem me toch mee naar het land van de zon Zeg nu niet nee, maar zeg me nu 'kom' Ik weet, er is op de wereld een plaats voor mij in de zon
Op een dag een sloep zo verroest, een heel ouwe schuit Met een motor die hoest maar toch vaar ik het zeegat uit En dan vaar ik naar die hete stranden van die verre mooie warme landen Weg van hier, met plezier Waar de zon m'n bleke huid zal branden en m'n ouwe schuit voorgoed mag stranden Ver van hier, met plezier
Ik verdwijn uit jouw zicht zonder spijt en voor altijd Want ik stuur geen bericht en mij ben je nu kwijt
Neem me toch mee naar het land van de zon Zeg nu niet nee, maar zeg me nu 'kom' Ik weet, er is op de wereld een plaats voor mij in de zon
Neem me toch mee naar het land van de zon Zeg nu niet nee, maar zeg me nu 'kom' Ik weet, er is op de wereld een plaats voor mij in de zon
Lalala... Ik weet, er is op de wereld een plaats voor mij in de zon
Mother Of Pearl Composer(s): Brian Ferry Performer(s): Roxy Music
Turn the lights down Way down low Turn up the music Hi as fi can go All the gang´s here Everyone you know It´s a crazy scene Hey there just look over your shoulder
Get the picture? No no no no .......(Yes) Walk a tightrope Your life-sign-line Such a bright hope Right place, right time What´s your number? Never you mind Take a powder But hang on a minute what´s coming round the corner? Have you a future? No no no no .......(Yes) Well I´ve been up all night again Party-time wasting is too much fun Then I step back thinking Of life´s inner meaning And my latest fling It´s the same old story All love and glory It´s a pantomime If you're looking for love In a looking glass world It's pretty hard to find Oh mother of pearl I wouldn't trade you For another girl Divine intervention Always my intention So I take my time I´ve been looking for something I've always wanted But was never mine But now I've seen that something Just out of reach - glowing - Very Holy grail Oh mother of pearl Lustrous lady Of a sacred world Thus: even Zarathustra Another-time-loser Could believe in you With every goddess a let down Every idol a bring down It gets you down But the search for perfection Your own predilection Goes on and on and on and on Canadian Club love A place in the Country Everyone's ideal But you are my favorita And a place in your heart dear Makes me feel more real Oh mother of pearl I wouldn't change you For the whole world You're highbrow, holy With lots of soul Melancholy shimmering Serpentine sleekness Was always my weakness Like a simple tune But no dilettante Filigree fancy Beats the plastic you Career girl cover Exposed and another Slips right into-view Oh looking for love In a looking glass world Is pretty hard for you Few throwaway kisses The boomerang misses Spin round and round Fall on featherbed quilted Faced with silk Softly stuffed eider down Take refuge in pleasure Just give me your future We'll forget your past Oh mother of pearl Submarine lover In a shrinking world Oh lonely dreamer Your choker provokes A picture cameo Oh mother of pearl So so semi-precious In your detached world Oh mother of pearl I wouldn´t trade you For another girl
