Te Contro Me ((French Version: Toi Contre Moi (Charles Aznavour)) Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Te contro me, che figura da idioti Quella dei genitori feriti Te contro me, due carri armati Vuoti e telecomandati,da uno stuolo di avvocati Te contro me, contro tutti si va' Senza avere rispetto e pieta' Muore l'amore, e ciascuno per se E i figli in mezzo perche'... Cos'hanno fatto mai di male, e perche' dovran pagare Questo bel capolavoro, perche' loro Che cos'e' che ne sanno dei problemi Loro e' il poco di buono si e' fatto io e te...
Te contro me, e risposta non c'e' Al perche' dei bambini smarriti So' che vorresti a me negarli Io dovrei come affittarli, ritirarli e riportarli Te contro me, questo gioco e' incosciente Non avra' vincitori ne' vinti Tiriamo i conti, sono loro i bambini Che perderanno di piu' No, alle uscite comandate Allegrie cronometrate, che la legge accordera' No, non mi va', ed i tuoi alla noia farmi guerra Buon pero' cielo e terra, ma da me non li avrai...
Te contro me, e' l'inferno e pazzia E pensare che era poesia... Te contro me, per la vita la tua favola infinita Nel mio letto accanto a te Te contro me, ci accomuna un passato Da salvare per quel che ci ha dato Noi faccia a faccia, un giorno in tribunale Fara' soltanto del male Vieni, mettiamoci d'accordo Non facciamo a chi e' piu' sordo Evitiamo il punto di... Non ritorno Perche' un giorno superato questo scoglio Ci ritorni il desiderio di te contro me...
My Baby's Arms Composer(s): Joseph McCarthy; Harry Tierney Original Dixieland Jazz Band and various other artists
I call my sweetheart "Baby" She calls me "Baby" too When there's anyone near us We never let them hear us But for embraces I know just where my place is
It seems my own sweet baby Just loves to baby me Tho' we both are grown up We refuse to own up She's like a mother How we do love each other
My baby's arms Hold all my charms My baby's eyes of blue Just seem to thrill me And fill me with a new sensation My baby's smile There all the while And if she'd tell me to stay I'd like to snuggle away And dream forever In my baby's arms
Feel the pressure rise Hear the whistle blow Found a ticket of her own accord Yeah I don't know Packed ya heart in her travelling bag And never said bye bye Something missing in the neighbourhood All the cryin' eyes I stirred my coffee with the same spoon To her favourite tune Gone shootin' My baby's gone shootin' Wrap herself around Like a second skin Backed her favourite nag But she could never win I took her number in another town She took another pill She was 'runnin' in' on overdrive A victim of overkill She never made it past the bedroom door What was she aiming for? Gone shootin' She's gone, gone gone gone (solo)
Toi Contre Moi ((Italian Version: Te Contro Me (Charles Aznavour)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Jaques Plante Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Toi contre moi, il est bête à pleurer cet orgueil des parents déchirés Toi contre moi c'est un combat, on se déchire on se bat aidés par nos avocat! Toi contre moi, contre le monde entier sans répit, sans merci, sans pitié Quand l'amour meurt, ça devient chacun pour soi mais les enfants dans tout ça? Quel est leur tort, quel est leur crime pourquoi seraient-ils victimes de notre échec à nous deux, pourquoi eux? Qu'ont-ils fait pour souffrir de nos problèmes eux qui sont ce que quand même nous avons fait de mieux?! Toi contre moi, quelle raison donner au pourquoi des enfants étonnés? Toi tu voudrais me les ôter, je devrais les emprunter les prendre et les rapporter! Toi contre moi, à ce jeu sans issue il ne sort ni vainqueur ni vaincu Au bout du compte, il n'y a que les enfants qui pour finir sont perdants! Non aux sorties à la sauvette, aux dimanches et jours de fêtes que peut accorder la loi chaque mois! Tes amis auront beau dire et beau faire Je remuerai ciel et terre tu ne les auras pas! Toi contre moi, c'est l'enfer, c'est l'horreur et pourtant hier, c'était le bonheur! Toi contre moi, c'était la vie, ses merveilles et ses folies dans tes bras et dans ton lit! Toi contre moi, ce passé qui nous lie il faudrait le garder à tout prix Se retrouver face à face au Tribunal ne nous ferait que du mal! Viens! Faisons amende honorable, évitons l'irréparable et le point de non retour, pour qu'un jour affleurant de ce drame pitoyable il ne reste plus que toi contre moi, mon amour!
My Baby Said Yes (Yip Yip De Hootie) Composer(s): Robin; Walters Performer(s): Bing Crosby & Louis Jourdan
I feel so happy, I wanna shout (Well, tell me Bing Tell me what its all about?) I found my one idea And this time Im sure its real
Yip yip de hootie Got me a beauty She sure is a dream My baby said yes She said yes, she said yes She didnt say no
(Cock cock-a-doodle Youre off your noodle Youre way off the beam Cause baby said yes She said yes, she said yes She couldnt say no)
Knock me a daisy (Now what would I do with a daisy, old thing?) You wear it and bear it (There, you sound kinda crazy) Im happy that way
Hi diddle diddle March down the middle And now were a team Cause baby said yes She said yes, she said yes Yes, she couldnt say no
Yip yip yip de hootie Got me a beauty She sure is a dream My baby said yes She said yes, she said yes She didnt say no
Cock-a-doodle off my noodle Off the beam Cause baby said yes She said yes, she said yes She didnt say no
Knock me a daisy That sure was a daisy That one was hazy But Im happy that way
Hi diddle-diddle March down the middle And now were a team Cause baby said yes She said yes, she said yes Yes, she couldnt say no She couldnt say no No, no
Gone Girl Composer(s): Jack Clement Performer(s): Tompall Glaser & The Glaser Brothers; Rex Allen; Johnny Cash; Jack Clement
She is deliciously tall sort of a long girl She is delightfully small sort of a song girl She freely admits to the world that she was a wrong girl That's nothing compared to the fact that she is a gone girl
Gone like a knock on the door Gone with yesterday and before Gone with the wind for ever more
She'd never laid claim to the fact that she was a strong girl So why should I loudly proclaim that she was a wrong girl I'd rather think of her name as some sort of song girl And think poetical things to think of my gone girl
Gone like a knock on the door Gone with yesterday and before Gone with the wind for ever more
De niño te conocí entre mis sueños queridos por eso cuando te vi reconocí mi destino Cuando pensaba que ya no iba ser lo que soñaba de pronto vino Tanto que yo te busqué y tanto que no te hallaba que al cabo me acostumbré a andar con tanto de nada Cuánto nos puede curar el amor cuánto renace de tu mirada
Te conozco te conozco desde siempre desde lejos te conozco te conozco como a un sueño bueno y viejo es por eso que te toco y te conozco Te conozco
El lago parece mar el viento sirve de abrigo todo se vuelve a inventar si lo comparto contigo La única prisa es la del corazón la única ofensa es tener testigos
Te conozco te conozco desde siempre desde lejos te conozco te conozco como a un sueño bueno y viejo es por eso que te toco y te conozco Te conozco
My Baby Packed Up My Mind And Left Me Composer(s): Dallas Frazier; Arthur Leo Owens Performer(s): Dallas Frazier
I didn't hear the engines of a jet-plane I didn't hear the whistle of a train I didn't hear the taxi-driver knockin' on my door I didn't hear her walkin' cross the floor But my baby packed up my mind and then she left me She knew when I woke up that I'd be lookin' for my mind She knew she'd leave a crazy man behind But my baby packed up my mind and then she left me
I never thought this big ole king size bed would find her gone I never thought she'd leave here alone I never saw the distance or the leavin' in her eyes I never thought my babe would wave goodbye But my baby packed up my mind... Yes my baby packed up my mind and then she left me
Gone Fishin' Composer(s): Nick Kenny; Charles Kenny Performer(s): Louis Armstrong; and various other artists
I'll tell you why I can't find you Every time I go out to your place...
You gone fishin' (well how you know) Well there's a sign upon your door (uh-huh) Gone fishin' (I'm real gone man) You ain't workin' anymore (could be) There's your hoe out in the sun Where you left a row half done You claim that hoein' ain't no fun (well I can prove it) You ain't got no ambition
Gone fishin' by a shady wady pool (Shangrila, really la) I'm wishin' I could be that kind of fool (should I twist your arm?) I'd say no more work for mine (welcome to the club) On my door I'd hang a sign Gone fishin' instead of just a-wishin'
Papa Bing (yeah Louis) I stopped by your place a time or two lately And you aren't home either Well, I'm a busy man Louis. I got a lotta deals cookin' I was probably tied up at the studio You weren't tied up you dog You was just plain old...

Gone fishin' (keep it shady, I got me a big one staked out) Mmm, you ain't workin' anymore (I don't have to work, I got me a piece of Gary) Cows need milkin' in the barn (I have the twins on that detail, they each take a side) But you just don't give a darn (give 'em four bits a cow and hand lotion) You just never seem to learn (man, you taught me) You ain't got no ambition (you're convincin' me)
Gone fishin' (bah-boo-dah-do-dah-do-dah-do) Got your hound dog by your side (that's old Cindy-Lou goin' with me) Gone fishin' (mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm) Fleas are bitin' at his hide (get away from me boy, you bother me)
Mmm, folks won't find us now because Mister Satch and Mister Cros We gone fishin' instead of just a-wishin' Bah-boo-baby-bah-boo-bah-bay-mmm-bo-bay Oh yeah!
Te Busco Composer(s): Victor, Victor Performer(s): Celia Cruz; Ana de la Reguera
Al cielo una mirada largaa buscando un poco de mi vida mis estrellas no responden para alumbrarme hacia tu risa
Olas que esfuman de mis ojos a una legion de tus recuerdos me roban formas de tu rostro dejando arena en el silencio
Te busco perdido entre suenos el ruido de la gente envuelvelo en un velo te busco volando en el cielo el viento te ha llevando como un panuelo viejo y no hago mas que rebuscar paisajes conocidos en lugares tan extranos,que no puedo dar contigo
En cualquier huella te persigo (voy tras de ti) en una sombra te dibujo (al recordar) huellas y sombras que se pierden (de la soledad) la suerte no vino conmigo
My Baby Must Be A Magician Composer(s): Smokey Robinson Performer(s): The Marvelettes
You are under my power It is the power of love
Eyes that hypnotize And all it takes is just once glance Just one look at him Puts me in a lover's trance
Now listen No rabbits in his hand No pigeons up his sleeve But you better believe When I prove he can do so much My baby must be a magician 'cause he's sure got the magic touch
Oh my morale was low Then he appeared just like a genie His love has the power He's my private great Houdini
No reading decks of cards No cords that disappear No special gear Like Alladin's lamp and such But my baby must be a magician 'cause he's sure got the magic touch
Whenever I'm feeling bad My baby simply kisses me And then Presto, Chango, Alakazam I'm alright again oh yes I am Yes I am alright
No mystic crystal ball No long black flowing cape But I can't escape From his tender loving touch Oh my baby must be a magician 'cause he's sure got the magic touch Say my baby must be a magician 'cause he's sure got the magic touch
Gone Dead Train Composer(s): Jack Nitzsche; Russ Titelman Performer(s): Nazareth; and various other artists
It's a gone dead train Yes, it's a gone dead train
My engine was pumpin' steam And I was grindin' at you hard and fast Burnin' down the rails, tryin' to heat the way Haulin' ass and ridin' up the track And I laughed at the conductor who was tellin' me my coal It would never last
But then the fire in my boiler Up and quit before I came Ain't no empty cellar Like a gone dead train
Once was at a time when I could Mama shave 'em dry And raise a fever ice-down chill Waitin' at the station With a heavy loaded sack Savin' up and holdin' just to spill Shootin' my supply through my demon's eye Instead of holdin' my time, I hope I will
But then the fire in my boiler Up and quit before I came There ain't no empty cellar Needs a gone dead train
Yes it's a gone dead train I'm gonna teach it to learn now, now It's a gone dead train Yes it's a gone dead train I'm gonna teach it to learn now, now It's a gone dead train Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to learn
There ain't no easy day When your daily run's a downhill pull And there ain't no easy way Wishin' for some jelly roll There ain't no switch been made To make your juicy lemon find A spring to run a dry well full
But then the fire in my boiler Up and quit before I came Ain't no empty cellar Needs a gone dead train
Yes it's a gone dead train I'm gonna teach it to learn You know it's a gone dead train Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn It's a gone dead train It's a gone dead train, you gotta learn It's a gone dead train Gonna teach it, gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn
Dime porqué hoy te apratas de mí dime porqué tú me tratas así dime si ya se acabó aquel amor que aquella vez me juraste tener dime si es que hay otro amante a quién quieras más que a mí
Si sabes que te quiero con toda mi alma que tuyo es mi cariño que mi vida es para tí, mi bien Porqué me martirizas, negándose tus besos devuélveme la calma que un día le robaste a mi fiel corazón
My Baby Loves Lovin' Composer(s): Roger Cook; Roger Greenaway Originally performed by: White Plains Covered by various other artists
My baby loves love My baby loves lovin' She's got what it takes And she know how to use it
My baby loves love My baby loves lovin' She's got what it takes And she know how to use it
I was lonely once in this great big world
Just a nowhere man without his girl
When she came my way
She smiled at me as if to say
My baby loves love
My baby loves lovin'
She's got what it takes
And she know how to use it
My baby loves love
My baby loves lovin'
She's got what it takes
And she know how to use it
She's the only one makes me feel so good
Believing in my lovin' so I'm all gone good
All my sorrows and fears seem to fly away
She looks at me as if to say
My baby loves love
My baby loves lovin'
She's got what it takes
And she know how to use it
For me
No more lonely nights waiting for the phone to ring
No more lonely days my baby's taken care of everything
I'm telling you people
My baby loves love
My baby loves lovin'
She's got what it takes
And she know how to use it
My baby loves love
My baby loves lovin'
She's got what it takes
And she know how to use it
She's the only one makes me feel so good
Believing in my lovin'
All my sorrows and fears seem to fly away
She looks at me as if to say
My baby loves love
My baby loves lovin'
She's got what it takes
And she know how to use it...
Gone At Last Composer(s): Paul Simon Performer(s): Paul Simon; and various other artists
The night was black, the roads were icy Snow was fallin', drifts were high And I was weary, from my driving And I stopped to rest for a while I sat down at a truck stop I was thinking about my past I've had a long streak of bad luck But I'm praying it's gone at last
Gone, gone at last, gone at last Gone at last, gone at last I had a long streak of that bad luck But I'm prayin' it's gone at last 0o, oo, oo, oo, oo
I ain't dumb I kicked around some I don't fall too easily But that boy looked so dejected He just grabbed my sympathy Sweet little soul now, what's your problem? Tell me why you're so downcast I've had a long streak of bad luck But I'm praying it's gone at last
Gone, gone at last, gone at last Gone at last, gone at last I had a long streak of that bad luck But I'm prayin' it's gone at last 0o, oo, oo, oo, oo
Once in a while from out of nowhere When you don't expect it, and you're unprepared Somebody will come and lift you higher And your burdens will be shared Yes I do believe, if I hadn't met you I might still be sinking fast I've had a long streak of bad luck But I'm praying it's gone at last
Gone, gone, gone at last Gone at last, gone at last I had a long streak of that bad luck But I'm prayin' it's gone at last Gone, gone, gone gone gone gone Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone I had a long streak of that bad luck But I'm prayin' it's gone at last
Tu Me Quittes English Title: My Baby Left Me Composer(s): R. Bernet; Arthur Crudup Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday (Originally performed by: Arthur Crudup)
Ce soir, tu me quittes, pourtant, dans mon coeur Je n'ai pas de peine, je n'ai pas de peur
Si tu me quittes, si tu me quittes Entre nous, ce n'était qu'un jeu J'en suis bien heureux
Tout seul à ma fenêtre, oui, je te vois partir Et mon coeur ne regrette pas un souvenir
Si tu me quittes, si tu me quittes Entre nous, ce n'était qu'un jeu J'en suis bien heureux
De ces promesses vaines que tu me faisais De les entendre, je peux bien m'en passer
Si tu me quittes, si tu me quittes Entre nous, ce n'était qu'un jeu J'en suis bien heureux
Tout seul à ma fenêtre, oui, je te vois partir Et mon coeur ne regrette pas un souvenir
Si tu me quittes, si tu me quittes Entre nous, ce n'était qu'un jeu J'en suis bien heureux
Entre nous, ce n'était qu'un jeu J'en suis bien heureux
Gone Again Composer(s): Jesse Oris Farrow Performer(s): Quicksilver Messenger Service
You ask me why my mind goes to wanderin' And how can I be so many people in the meantime I try to tell you, but words can't find my way All I can tell you is, believe me, I really understand It goes round and round after round, I'm gone again My mind gets lonely and my heart starts of ramblin' With my sweet life, my crazy heart starts to gamblin' The saddest of winds blow in my mind, stealing my time, o no, there I go again I go round and round after round, I'm gone again Some people tell me I think they hold on forever I don't know, I don't know, I don't know if I could ever hold on forever Lettin' go, lettin' go feels so groovy now, oo feels so groovy now Sweet summer falls on my mind like the dawning I watch the witches casting spells in the morning Sing the stranger, the brewing, the sweet of the brew To know what you're doing is so hard to do It goes round and round and around, I'm gone again Something tells me that maybe I can maintain forever I don't know, I don't know, I don't know if I could ever hold on forever Lettin' go, lettin' go feels so groovy now, oo feels so groovy now I see a lady, my crazy heart starts to question Can't we lay by here a while and love this one? Then my sweet life comes dancing by, takes me by the hand The sweetest romancing to the stranger will never never end And I go with her, round and round and around, I'm gone again

My Baby Left Me French Title: Tu Me Quittes Originally performed by: Arthur Crudup Covered by various other artists
Yes, my baby left me, never said a word Was it something I done, something that she heard? You know she left me, my baby left me My baby even left me, never said a word
But, I stand at my window, wring my hands and cry I hate to lose that woman, hate to say goodbye You know she left me, I say, she left me My baby even left me, never said goodbye Help me, boy!
And now, one of these mornings, Lord, it won't be long You'll look for me and, Baby, Daddy he'll be gone You know she left me, I say she left me My baby even left me, never said a word
Now, I stand at my window, wring my hands and moan All I know is that the one I love is gone My baby left me, I say she left me My baby even left me, never said goodbye My baby even left me, never said goodbye
