Ik Neem Je Vanavond Mee ((Adapted from: Emmène-Moi Danser Ce Soir (Michèle Torr) - 1978)) Composer(s): François Valéry - Jean-François Maurice - Jan De Vuyst Performer(s): Willy Sommers - 1993
Ontroerd keek ik naar jou terwijl je naast me ligt Ik streel het klamme haar uit jouw gezicht Er speelt een dromerig glimlachje rond je mond Ik wou dat ik wist wat je droomt
De eerste zachte lijntjes geëtst in jouw gelaat Vertellen ons verhaal, dat van tederheid De minder goede dagen die we deelden met elkaar Sindsdien begrijp ik jou met één gebaar
Ik neem je vanavond mee Naar een gezellig donkerbruin café Laten we dansen tot de zon opgaat Ik wil dat jij me nooit, nee nooit verlaat
Ik neem je vanavond mee Naar een gezellig donkerbruin café Ik wil genieten van die mooie vrouw Waar ik zo waanzinnig veel van hou
Soms betrap ik je wel terwijl je voor de spiegel zit Dan lees ik jouw gedachten en de angst voor wat je ziet Je hand strijkt door je haren, houden stil bij jouw gezicht En dan opeens, door de juiste inval van het licht
Dan zie ik plots het meisje waarop ik stapel was Onhandig en bedeesd, onze eerste kus De jaren hebben jou veranderd in een mooie vrouw Waar ik zo waanzinnig veel van hou
Ik neem je vanavond mee Naar een gezellig donkerbruin café Laten we dansen tot de zon opgaat Ik wil dat jij me nooit, nee nooit verlaat
Ik neem je vanavond mee Naar een gezellig donkerbruin café Ik wil genieten van die mooie vrouw Waar ik zo waanzinnig veel van hou
Ik neem je vanavond mee Naar een gezellig donkerbruin café Laten we dansen tot de zon opgaat Ik wil dat jij me nooit, nee nooit verlaat
Ik neem je vanavond mee Naar een gezellig donkerbruin café
Quando penso em você Fecho os olhos de saudade Tenho tido tanta coisa Menos a felicidade Correm os meus dedos longos Em versos tristes que invento Nem aquilo a que me entrego Já me dá contentamento Eu só queria ter, do mato Um gosto de framboesa Pra correr entre os canteiros E esconder minha tristeza Pode ser até manhã Sendo claro feito dia Mais nada do que me dizem Me faz senti alegria Ainda sou bem moço Pra tanta tristeza Deixemos de coisa Cuidemos da vida Senão chega a morte Ou coisa parecida E nos arrasta moço Sem ter visto a vida
Fino Alla Fine Del Mondo Composer(s): Alessandro Blasetti; Max Minoia; Gianni Morandi Performer(s): Gianni Morandi
Quando non c'e' più un perché ne' una strada dove andare e a letto solo non ti addormenti più
E il silenzio fa rumore mentre cerchi di capire quale ragione la porta via da te
E andresti fino all'inferno cercando soltanto lei fino alla fine del mondo gridando perché la vuoi e' che ho bisogno di te e' che ho bisogno di te sento il bisogno di te di te che esisti dentro me
Quando manca quel sorriso e non riesci a ripartire anche il passato ormai non ti basta più
E andresti fino all'inferno cercando soltanto lei fino alla fine del mondo gridando perché la vuoi e' che ho bisogno di te e' che ho bisogno di te sento il bisogno di te di te che esisti dentro me
Fino alla fine del mondo gridando perché la vuoi e' che ho bisogno di te e' che ho bisogno di te sento il bisogno di te di te ed io ti cercherò fino alla fine del mondo
Emmène-Moi Danser Ce Soir ((Dutch Version: Ik Neem Je Vanavond Mee (Willy Sommers) - 1993)) Composer(s): François Valéry - Jean-François Maurice First release by: Michèle Torr - 1978
Aujourdhui ça fait six ans que nous sommes mariés Tu mas donné de beaux enfants tu sais Et depuis ce ptit bal ou lon sest rencontré Je nai cesser de taimer Mais ce soir jai envie de déposer mon tablier De me faire belle pour toi comme par le passé Ton fauteuil, ton journal, tes cigarettes et la télé Ce soir laisse les de coté
Emmène moi danser ce soir Joue contre joue et serres dans le noir Fais-moi la cour comme aux premiers instants Comme cette nuit ou tu mas pris mes dix sept ans Emmène moi danser ce soir Flirtons ensemble enlacés dans le noir Timidement dis-moi Michèle je taime amoureusement Je suis restée la même
Il ny a plus que tes amis et le football qui comptent pour toi Et jai limpression que tu ne vois plus en moi que le mère de tes enfants Je ne te demande pas de moffrir des fleurs tous les jours Mais de faire de temps en temps un geste damour
Et ce soir je voudrais encore une fois te retrouver Rentrer au petit jour et puis tembrasser Ton fauteuil, ton journal, tes cigarettes et la télé Ce soir laisse-les de coté
Emmène moi danser ce soir Joue contre joue et serres dans le noir Fais-moi la cour comme aux premiers instants Comme cette nuit ou tu mas pris mes dix sept ans Emmène moi danser ce soir Flirtons ensemble enlacés dans le noir Timidement dis-moi Michèle je taime amoureusement Je suis restée la même
Can'tcha Say (You Believe In Me) Composer(s): Tom Scholz Performer(s): Boston
Can'tcha say you believe in me? Can'tcha see what you mean to me?
Everyday I think of you You're on my mind Some things in the past Are better left behind Every night I dream of you The images as clear as day Can'tcha say you believe in me? Can'tcha say you believe in me? You know that where there's a will there's a way Can'tcha say you believe in me? Can't you see what it means to me? Don't leave me alone tonight 'Cause I still love you We've had our time apart And I knew right from the start I could never change The way I feel about you baby We can sit here all night long And separate the right from the wrong But love won't wait Can'tcha say you believe in me? Can'tcha say you believe in me? You know that where there's a will there's a way Can'tcha say you believe in me? Can't you see what it means to me? Don't leave me alone tonight 'Cause I still love you Ooohh, still in love with you You know I need you baby, to stand by me Can't you see I need you, baby Oooh, I'm still in love with you Can'tcha say you believe in me? Can'tcha say you believe in me? You know that where there's a will there's a way Can'tcha say you believe in me? Can't you see what you mean to me? Don't leave me alone tonight 'Cause I still love you I love you
Finnegan's Wake (Traditional) Performer(s): The Irish Rovers; and various other artists
Tim Finnegan lived in Walkin' Street A gentleman, Irish, mighty odd He had a brogue both rich and sweet And to rise in the world he carried a hod Now Tim had a sort of the tipplin' way With a love of the whiskey he was born And to help him on with his work each day He'd a "drop of the cray-thur" every morn
Whack fol the darn O, dance to your partner Whirl the floor, your trotters shake Wasn't it the truth I told you Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake!
One mornin' Tim was feelin' full His head was heavy which made him shake He fell from the ladder and broke his skull And they carried him home his corpse to wake They rolled him up in a nice clean sheet And laid him out upon the bed A gallon of whiskey at his feet And a barrel of porter at his head
His friends assembled at the wake And Mrs. Finnegan called for lunch First they brought in tay and cake Then pipes, tobacco and whiskey punch Biddy O'Brien began to bawl "Such a nice clean corpse, did you ever see? "O Tim, mavourneen, why did you die?" Arragh, hold your gob said Paddy McGhee!
Then Maggie O'Connor took up the job "O Biddy," says she, "You're wrong, I'm sure" Biddy she gave her a belt in the gob And left her sprawlin' on the floor And then the war did soon engage 'Twas woman to woman and man to man Shillelagh law was all the rage And a row and a ruction soon began
Then Mickey Maloney ducked his head When a noggin of whiskey flew at him It missed, and falling on the bed The liquor scattered over Tim! The corpse revives! See how he raises! Timothy rising from the bed Says,"Whirl your whiskey around like blazes Thanum an Dhul! Do you thunk I'm dead?"
The Cheap Seats Composer(s): Marcus Hummon - Randy Sharp Performer(s): Alabama; Marcus Hummon
This town ain't big, this town ain't small It's a little of both they say Our ball club may be minor league but at least it's triple A
We sit below the Marlboro man, above the right field wall We do the wave all by ourself Hang ump, a blind man could've made that call
We like beer flat as can be We like our dogs with mustard and relish We got a great pitcher what's his name Well we can't even spell it We don't worry about the penant much We just like to see the boys hit it deep There's nothing like the view from the cheap seats
The game was close, we'll call it a win Go off to toast the boys again That local band is back in town They got a kinda minor league sound
They're not that bad, they're not that good But all in all it's understood We wanna dance, they wanna play We wouldn't have it any other way
We like beer flat as can be We like our dogs with mustard and relish We got a great pitcher what's his name Well we can't even spell it We don't worry about the penant much We just like to see the boys hit it deep There's nothing like the view from the cheap seats
Cheap seats
Now the majors called up oh what's his name And one more buildin' rises tall And suddenly we're all grown up And this old town's not quite so small But I'll always miss the middle size town In the middle of the middle-west With no name pitchers and local bands, And mustard and relish and all the rest.
We like beer flat as can be We like our dogs with mustard and relish We got a great pitcher what's his name Well we can't even spell it We don't worry about the penant much We just like to see the boys hit it deep There's nothing like the view from the cheap seats
Ya viene la galbana por aquel cerro venga o no venga yo ya la tengo Una viuda va a misa y va diciendo ¿Quién me compra esta viña que ha muerto el dueño? Ventanas a la calle son peligrosas pa los padres que tienen niñas hermosas El ermitaño un buen día por beber agua enfermó y la Virgen le decía "Bebe vino y agua no" Por la sierra de Lares vienen bajando veinticuatro mil frailes tras un pan blanco
Finland Composer(s): Chi Durang; Eric Idle; Michael Palin Performer(s): Monty Python
Finland, Finland, Finland The country where I want to be Pony trekking or camping Or just watching TV Finland, Finland, Finland It's the country for me
You're so near to Russia So far from Japan Quite a long way from Cairo Lots of miles from Vietnam
Finland, Finland, Finland The country where I want to be Eating breakfast or dinner Or snack lunch in the Hall Finland, Finland, Finland Finland has it all
You're so sadly neglected And often ignored A poor second to Belgium When going abroad
Finland, Finland, Finland The country where I quite want to be Your mountains so lofty Your treetops so tall Finland, Finland, Finland Finland has it all
Finland, Finland, Finland The country where I quite want to be Your treetops so tall Finland, Finland, Finland Finland has it all

Fini La Comédie Composer(s): James "Cookie" Palmer; Karel Ricanek; Angelo La Bionda; Carmelo La Bionda; Pierre Delanoë Performer(s): Dalida
C'est fini, c'est fini la comédie Tout avait commencé comme une pièce à succès Dans le décor tout bleu d'un théâtre de banlieue Nous n'étions que nous deux
On s'est aimé longtemps au point d'oublier le temps Qui tout au long des scènes transformait les joies en peine Il a gagné le temps, il est content Quand il nous voit chacun de son côté comme des étrangers Nous n'avons plus en commun que les mots quotidiens Le décor n'a pas changé mais les acteurs n'ont rien à jouer Il faut baisser le rideau
C'est fini, c'est fini la comédie On était bien parti éternité garantie On était seuls au monde devant nous la route longue Pas de sens interdit
Il a gagné le temps, il est content Quand il nous voit chacun de son côté comme des étrangers Nous n'avons plus en commun que les mots quotidiens Le décor n'a pas changé mais les acteurs n'ont rien à jouer Il faut baisser le rideau
C'est fini, c'est fini la comédie Tout avait commencé comme une pièce à succès Dans le décor tout bleu d'un théâtre de banlieue Nous n'étions que nous deux C'est fini C'est fini la comédie
The Charm Of You Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Jule Styne Performer(s): Frank Sinatra and multiple other artists
The charm of you is comparable to a Christmas tree with toys With little girls and boys when first they see the tree The thrill of you is comparable to the thrill I felt when I first learned the heart could sigh And you were the reason why, and yet, and yet if we two have never met I'd know your grace that warms a face that only the angels get, and So comparing you with all of these things, is all that I can do Because they add up to the charm of you
So comparing you with all of these things, is all that I can do Because they add up to the charm of you
Cantar, Cantar, Cantar Composer(s): J. Ordaz Aguilera Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
¡Qué bueno ha sido regresar a la cosecha después que el tiempo mejoró las madrugadas! ¡Qué bueno ha sido el despertar sobre la almohada que soñé cuando el amor y la canción nos esperaban Hay que cantarle un homenaje a la sonrisa de aquel ancestro soñador que, en la garganta dejó su pétalo mejor para que hiciera florecer, alguna vez el corazón y la esperanza
Cantar, cantar, cantar con la necesidad de la primera vez Cantar, cantar, cantar para llegar a ser como una sola voz
Cuando sabe a realidad la maravilla de aventurarse a ser canción y a ser guitarra late la prisa por amar y el corazón se vuelve un mágico volcán que arranca el grito de esperanza Cantar, cantar, cantar con la necesidad de la primera vez Cantar, cantar, cantar para llegar a ser como una sola voz Cantar, cantar, cantar con la necesidad de la primera vez
Cantar, cantar, cantar para llegar a ser como una sola voz

J'ai laissé mon chagrin, ça y est j'ai compris C'est un mal pour un bien, rien n'est jamais fini J'ai fini de pleurer, j'ai besoin d'aimer Pour moi tout recommence Quelle chance, tout recommence, quand je dans, danse Fini de pleurer
Pour garder cet amour je suis prête à tout Pour le garder toujours au bonheur je prends goût J'ai fini de pleurer mes amours passées J'ai oublié mes peines puisqu'il a dit "Je t'aime" Adieu ma peine, quoi qu'il advienne, j'aime Fini de pleurer, fini de pleurer, fini de pleurer

Cantando No Toro Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Chico Buarque
Sambando na lama de sapato branco, glorioso Um grande artista tem que dar o tom Quase rodando, caindo de boca A voz é rouca mas o mote é bom Sambando na lama e causando frisson
Mas olha só Um samba de cócoras em terra de sapo Sapateando no toró
Cantando e sambando na lama de sapato branco, glorioso Um grande artista tem que dar lição Quase rodando, caindo de boca Mas com um pouco de imaginação Sambando na lama sem tocar o chão
E o tal ditado, como é? Festa acabada, músicos a pé Músicos a pé, músicos a pé Músicos a pé
Sambando na lama de sapato branco, glorioso Um grande artista tem fazer fé Quase rodando, caindo de boca Aba de touca, jura de mulher Sambando na lama e passando o boné
Mas olha só Por fora filó, filó Por dentro, molambo Cambaleando no toró
Cantando e sambando na lama de sapato branco, glorioso Um grande artista tem que dar o que tem e o que não tem Tocando a bola no segundo tempo Atrás de tempo, sempre tempo vem Sambando na lama, amigo, e tudo bem
E o tal ditado, como é? Festa acabada, músicos a pé Músicos a pé, músicos a pé Músicos a pé
Sambando na lama de sapato branco, glorioso Um grande artista tem que estar feliz Sambando na lama de salvando o verniz
Mas olha só Em terra de sapo, sambando de cócoras Sapateando no toró
Cantando e sambando na lama de sapato branco, glorioso Um grande artista tem que estar tranchã Sambando na lama, amigo, até amanhã
E o tal ditado, como é? Festa acabada, músicos a pé Músicos a pé, músicos a pé Músicos a pé

The Chamber Of 32 Doors Composer(s): Mike Rutherford - Peter Gabriel - Phil Collins - Steve Hackett - Tony Banks Performer(s): Genesis
At the top of the stairs, their's hundreds of people running around to all the doors They try to find themselves an audience their deductions need applause
The rich man stands in front of me The poor man behind my back They believe they can control the game but the juggler holds another pack
I need someone to believe in, someone to trust I need someone to believe in, someone to trust
I'd rather trust a countryman than a townman You can judge by his eyes, take a look if you can He'll smile through his guard Survival trains hard I'd rather trust a man who works with his hands He looks at you once, you know he understands Don't need any shield When you're out in the field
But down here I'm so alone with my fear With everything that I hear And every single door, that I've walked through Brings me back here again I've got to find my own way
The priest and the magician Singing all the chants that they have ever heard They're all calling out my name Even academics, searching printed word
My father to the left of me My mother to the right Like everyone else they'er pointing But nowhere feels quite right
And I need someone to believe in, someone to trust I need someone to believe in, someone to trust
I'd rather trust a man who doesn't shout what he's found There's no need to sell if you're homeward bound If I chose a side He won't take me for a ride
Back inside This chamber of so many doors I've nowhere to hide I'd give you all of my dreams, if you'd help me Find a door That doesn't lead me back again - take me away
