Tant Que L'on S'aimera Composer(s): Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Tant que l'on s'aimera Le ciel portera nos joies Tant que nous sourirons Et que nous serons Tous deux enchaînés Aux mêmes chaînes Viens donne-moi la main Viens ne pensons plus à rien Et nous aurons vingt ans Ô, mon amour tant Que l'on s'aimera
Par ton pouvoir Tu peux ruiner ma vie Embellir ma vie Tour à tour D'un seul regard Tu fais crier ma vie Et mon amour Qui brûlera
Tant que l'on s'aimera Tant que nous survivront nos joies Et nous aurons vingt ans Ô, mon amour tant Que l'on s'aimera
Muffin Man Composer(s): Frank Zappa Performer(s): Frank Zappa
The Muffin Man is seated at the table In the laboratory of the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen ... Reaching for an oversized chrome spoon He gathers an intimate quantity of dried muffin remnants And, brushing his scapular aside, Proceeds to dump these inside of his shirt ... He turns to us and speaks "Some people like cupcakes better I, for one care less for them!" Arrogantly twisting the sterile canvas snoot of a fully charged icing-anointment utensil He poots forth a quarter-ounce green rosetta Near ... (Let's try that again ...) He poots forth a quarter-ounce green rosetta Near the summit of a dense-but-radiant muffin of his own design Later he says "Some people ... some people like cupcakes exclusively While I myself say there is naught, nor ought there be Nothing so exalted on the face of God's grey earth As that Prince of Foods ... The Muffin!"
Girl, you thought he was a man But he was a muffin He hung around till you found That he didn't know nuthin'
Girl, you thought he was a man But he only was a-puffin' No cries is heard in the night As a result of him stuffin'
Girl, you thought he was a man But he was a muffin No cries is heard in the night As a result of him stuffin'
God Must Be A Cowboy Composer(s): Dan Seals Performer(s): Dan Seals; Crowe Brothers; Chris Le Doux
Campfire coffee from a tin cup in my hand Sure warms the fingers when it's cold Playing an ol' guitar a friend I understand It sure smooths the wrinkles in my soul Sleeping in the moonlight a blanket for a bed It leaves a peaceful feelin' in my mind Wakin' up in the morning with an eagle over head Makes me long to fly away before my time And I think God must be a cowboy at heart Cause he made wide open spaces from the start He made grass and trees and mountains and a horse to be a friend And trails to lead ol' cowboys home again
The night life in big cities is alright for a while It sure makes you feel good when you're there But the country's so pretty it goes on and on for miles And it takes away my troubles and my cares And I think God must be..
Mucuripe Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner; Antonio Carlos Belchior Performer(s): Fagner and various other artists
As velas do Mucuripe Vão sair para pescar Vou levar as minhas mágoas Pras águas fundas do mar Hoje à noite namorar Sem ter medo da saudade E sem vontade de casar Calça nova de riscado Paletó de linho branco Que até o mês passado Lá no campo inda era flor Sob o meu chapéu quebrado O sorriso ingênuo e franco De um rapaz novo e encantado Com vinte anos de amor Aquela estrela é dela Vida, vento, vela leva-me daqui
God Loves Laughter Performer(s): Damon Leigh & Larry Ramos
Now if you want to see the sunshine Then you've got to have the rain And if you want to make laughter Then you've got to feel some pain Yes if you want to be happy You've got to know how to cry Don't you know that God loves laughter Because it makes His children high Don't you know that God loves laughter Because it makes His children high
There is a reason for the pain that makes the children cry That makes their teardrops fall like rain there is a reason why A reason why hard times go down and the good times come after A reason why things turn around because God loves laughter
So if you want to see the sunshine Then you've got to have the rain And if you want to make laughter Then you've got to feel some pain Yes if you want to be happy You've got to know how to cry Don't you know that God loves laughter Because it makes His children high Don't you know that God loves laughter Because it makes His children high
You cannot know what life's about until you've walked alone Until you've had to do without what made you feel at home And you cannot have the sunshine without the rainfall after All those tears fall from your eyes because God loves laughter
So if you want to see the sunshine Then you've got to have the rain And if you want to make laughter Then you've got to feel some pain Yes if you want to be happy You've got to know how to cry Don't you know that God loves laughter Because it makes His children high Don't you know that God loves laughter Because it makes His children high
Tant De Temps Composer(s): Philippe Soupault Performer(s): Michael Mantler
Le temps qui passe Le temps qui ne passe pas Le temps qu'on tue Le temps de compter jusqu'a dix Le temps qu'on n'a pas Le temps qu'il fait Le temps de s'ennuyer Le temps de rêver Le temps de l'agonie Le temps qu'on perd Le temps d'aimer Le temps des cerises Le mauvais temps Et le bon et le beau Et le froid et le temps chaud Le temps de se retourner Le temps des adieux Le temps qu'il est bien temps Le temps qui n'est même pas Le temps de cligner de l'oeil Le temps relatif Le temps de boire un coup Le temps d'attendre Le temps du bon bout Le temps de mourir Le temps qui ne se mesure pas Le temps de crier gare Le temps mort Et puis l'éternité
Muchas Veces Me Pregunto Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro Performer(s): Raphael
Muchas veces me pregunto si merecerá la pena Trabajar toda una vida por un pedazo de tierra Por un pedazo de tierra que te dan aunque no quieras Para que tu cuerpo no estorbe, para que tus huesos no muelan Muchas veces me pregunto si merecerá la pena Muchas veces me pregunto si merecerá la pena Amasar tanto en la vida si estamos de paso en ella Si no será más feliz el pobre con su miseria Que Dios le guarda una aguja para que pase por ella Muchas veces me pregunto si merecerá la pena Muchas veces me pregunto si merecerá la pena Intentar darle a la vida lo que el hombre justo sueña Si todo sucede igual pero con distintas fechas Y el hombre sigue ladrando y sigue las mismas guerras Muchas veces me pregunto que si merecerá la pena
God Give Me Strength Composer(s): Elvis Costello; Burt Bacharach Performer(s): Elvis Costello; and various other artists
Now I have nothing, so God give me strength 'Cause I'm weak in her wake And if I'm strong I might still break And I don't have anything to share That I won't throw away into the air That song is sung out This bell is rung out She was the light that I'd bless She took my last chance at happiness So God give me strength, God give me strength I can't hold onto her, God give me strength When the phone doesn't ring And I'm lost in imagining Everything that kind of love is worth As I tumble back down to the earth That song is sung out This bell is rung out She was the light that I'd bless She took my last chance at happiness So God give me strength God if she'd grant me her indulgence and decline I might as well wipe her from my memory Fracture the spell as she becomes my enemy Maybe I was washed out like a lip-print on his shirt See, I'm only human, I want him to hurt I want him I want him to hurt
Since I lost the power to pretend That there could ever be a happy ending That song is sung out This bell is rung out She was the light that I'd bless She took my last chance at happiness So God give me strength, God give me strength
Tant De Monnaie Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Pierre Roche Performer(s): Charles Aznavour and multiple other artists
Je suis releveur d'appareils automatiques À toutes les heures j'ai des pièces métalliques Je les entends qui sonnent, écoutez-les sonner Quand elles s'entre choquent c'est moi qui suis choqué Je dois vous avouer ce que j'ai Tant de monnaie que cela m'exaspère Tant de menu monnaie avouez que c'est une mauvaise affaire Tant de monnaie m'alourdit m'aigrit le caractère Voyez Tant de monnaie dit le commerçant qu'a le sourire Tant de menu monnaie, vous avez cassé votre tirelire Tant de monnaie et je ne sais pas quoi lui dire Avouez Chez moi J'en ai rempli trente six bouteilles Parfois Ça bourdonne dans mes oreilles Je crie: assez! J'en suis obsédé Tant de monnaie a déréglé ma vie tranquille Tant de menu monnaie que j'entends teinter m'horripie Tant de menu monnaie m'enverra un jour à l'asile Dans un asile d'aliénés
J'ai changé de métier car je me faisais trop de bile Et j'ai accepté celui de livreur à domicile On me donne des pourboires ça fait plaisir je l'avoue Mais quand vient le soir je crois devenir fou Car tout comme avant J'ai tant
Tant de monnaie que cela m'exaspère Tant de menu monnaie avouez que c'est une mauvaise affaire Tant de monnaie m'alourdit m'aigrit le caractère Voyez Tant de monnaie dit le commerçant qu'a le sourire Tant de menu monnaie, vous avez cassé votre tirelire Tant de monnaie et je ne sais pas quoi lui dire Avouez Oh! non Ce n'est pas moi qui ai de la chance Ce sont Ceux qui ont de la banque de France De beaux billets Tandis que moi Tant de monnaie que les gens m'en font le reproche Tant de menu monnaie me dit-on abîme les poches Tant de monnaie Fait que mon complet paraît moche Mon complet paraît tout usé Et ça me rend fou Toutes ces pièces de dix sous Ces petites pièces de vingt sous Venues de n'importe ou Et je vous le dis entre nous Toutes mes poches ont des trous De minuscules trous Et même d'immenses trous
Tant de monnaie que les gens m'en font le reproche Tant de menu monnaie me dit-on abîme les poches Tant de monnaie Fait que mon complet paraît moche Mon complet paraît tout usé Tout usé

Siempre vuelve a amanecer y al ayer sigue un nuevo día de luz como al vendaval y a la tempestad le sigue la quietud Siempre vuelve a amanecer y después de unas lágrimas de amor detrás de un adiós, tras la soledad de nuevo brilla el sol Deja de llorar, deja de llorar, que la vida no se acaba y haz que brote la sonrisa, nuevamente de tu cara Deja de llorar, deja de llorar, muchachita de ojos tristes que la vida no se acaba, deja de llorar Siempre vuelve a amanecer siempre hay algo nuevo que alcanzar y en tu corazón, duerme un nuevo amor dispuesto a despertar Deja de llorar, deja de llorar, y que estalle tu alegría con la fuerza de la vida, como nace un nuevo día Deja de llorar, deja de llorar, muchachita de ojos tristes que la vida no se acaba, deja de llorar Deja de llorar, deja de llorar, que la vida no se acaba y haz que brote la sonrisa, nuevamente de tu cara Deja de llorar, deja de llorar, muchachita de ojos tristes que la vida no se acaba, sólo por amor

Tant d'amour du printemps Meurt en hiver Que j'ai peur de moi Que j'ai peur de tout Tant d'amour du printemps Meurt en hiver Que j'ai peur de moi et de nous

God Blessed America For Me Composer(s): Woody Guthrie
This land is your land, this land is my land From the Californias to the Staten Island From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf stream waters God blessed America for me
As I went walking that ribbon of highway And saw above me that endless skyway And saw below me the golden valley, I said God blessed America for me
I roamed and rambled and followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts And all around me, a voice was sounding God blessed America for me
Was a high wall there that tried to stop me A sign was painted said: Private Property But on the back side it didn't say nothing God blessed America for me
When the sun come shining, then I was strolling In wheat fields waving and dust clouds rolling The voice was chanting as the fog was lifting God blessed America for me
One bright sunny morning in the shadow of the steeple By the Relief Office I saw my people As they stood hungry, I stood there wondering if God blessed America for me
