    The Rose Of Tralee
    Composer(s): Charles Glover - Mordaunt Spencer
    Performer(s): Webster Booth
    and multiple other artists



    The pale moon was rising above the green mountain
    The sun was declining beneath the blue sea
    When I strayed with my love to the pure crystal fountain
    That stands in the beautiful vale of Tralee

    She was lovely and fair, as the rose of the summer
    Yet t'was not her beauty alone that won me
    Oh no, t'was the truth in her eyes ever dawning
    That made me love Mary, the Rose of Tralee!
    The cool shades of evening their mantle were spreading
    And Mary, all smiling, was listening to me
    The moon through the valley her pale rays was shedding
    When I won the heart of the Rose of Tralee

    Though lovely and fair, as the rose of the summer
    Yet t'was not her beauty alone that won me
    Oh no, t'was the truth in her eyes ever dawning
    That made me love Mary, the Rose of Tralee!

    Close to you, I will always stay

    Close to me, sharing you're caress
    Can't you see you're my happiness?

    Wherever you go, my heart will go, too
    What can I do?
    It only wants to be close to you
    Wherever you go, my heart will go, too
    What can I do?
    It only wants to be close to you

    The Rose Of The Mountain Trail
    Composer(s): Jack Caddigan - Charles A. Brennan



    Far away on a mountain trail way down in Mexico
    Every day when the sun is sinking low and the tropic breezes blow
    There I stray to a flower bower near a bungalow
    To my Rose who is waiting there

    Moon shines bright on that mountain trail way down in Mexico
    Its love light shining like a beacon there on the blackness of her hair
    Wondrous sight in among the cactus of the mountain trail
    Just one Rose growing all alone

    On the Mountain Trail, there's a Rose that grows so wonderful
    It's the only Rose that the Mountain knows
    It was placed there
    Just for me and I will take her soon on a saddle back
    Honeymoon I'll strike a golden claim
    when I change the name of the Rose of the Mountain Trail

    Close To The Edge
    Composer(s): Jon Anderson; Steve Howe
    Performer(s): Yes



    I. The Solid Time Of Change


    A seasoned witch could call you from the depths of your disgrace
    And rearrange your liver to the solid mental grace
    And achieve it all with music that came quickly from afar
    Then taste the fruit of man recorded losing all against the hour
    And assessing points to nowhere, leading ev'ry single one
    A dewdrop can exalt us like the music of the sun
    And take away the plain in which we move
    And choose the course you're running

    Down at the edge, round by the corner
    Not right away, not right away
    Close to the edge, down by a river
    Not right away, not right away

    Crossed the line around the changes of the summer
    Reaching to call the color of the sky
    Passed around a moment clothed in mornings faster than we see
    Getting over all the time I had to worry
    Leaving all the changes far from far behind
    We relieve the tension only to find out the master's name

    Down at the end, round by the corner
    Close to the edge, just by a river
    Seasons will pass you by
    I get up, I get down
    Now that it's all over and done
    Now that you find, now that you're whole



    II. Total Mass Retain


    My eyes convinced, eclipsed with the younger moon attained with love
    It changed as almost strained amidst clear manna from above
    I crucified my hate and held the word within my hand
    There's you, the time, the logic, or the reasons we don't understand

    Sad courage claimed the victims standing still for all to see
    As armoured movers took approach to overlook the sea
    There since the cord, the license, or the reasons we understood will be

    Down at the edge, close by a river
    Close to the edge, round by the corner
    Close to the end, down by the corner
    Down at the edge, round by the river

    Sudden call shouldn't take away the startled memory
    All in all, the journey takes you all the way
    As apart from any reality that you've ever seen and known
    Guessing problems only to deceive the mention
    Passing paths that climb halfway into the void
    As we cross from side to side, we hear the total mass retain

    Down at the edge, round by the corner
    Close to the end, down by a river
    Seasons will pass you by
    I get up, I get down



    III. I Get Up, I Get Down


    In her white lace
    You can clearly see the lady sadly looking
    Saying that she'd take the blame
    For the crucifixion of her own domain

    I get up, I get down
    I get up, I get down
    Two million people barely satisfy
    Two hundred women watch one woman cry, too late
    The eyes of honesty can achieve
    How many millions do we deceive each day?

    [Thru the duty she would coil their said
    amusement of her story asking only interest
    could be laid upon the children of her domain]

    I get up, I get down
    I get up, I get down

    In charge of who is there in charge of me
    Do I look on blindly and say I see the way?
    The truth is written all along the page
    How old will I be before I come of age for you?
    I get up, I get down
    I get up, I get down
    I get up, I get down



    IV. Seasons Of Man


    The time between the notes relates the color to the scenes
    A constant vogue of triumphs dislocate man, so it seems
    And space between the focus shape ascend knowledge of love
    As song and chance develop time, lost social temp'rance rules above
    Ah, ah

    Then according to the man who showed his outstretched arm to space
    He turned around and pointed, revealing all the human race
    I shook my head and smiled a whisper, knowing all about the place
    On the hill we viewed the silence of the valley
    Called to witness cycles only of the past
    And we reach all this with movements in between the said remark

    Close to the edge, down by the river
    Down at the end, round by the corner
    Seasons will pass you by
    Now that it's all over and done
    Called to the seed, right to the sun
    Now that you find, now that you're whole
    Seasons will pass you by
    I get up, I get down
    I get up, I get down
    I get up, I get down

    Retrospectiva
    Composer(s): Pedro Guerra
    Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



    Pasé por ese lugar
    que la lluvia mojó alguna vez con los dedos
    del suelo cayo hasta sus ojos
    de alli resbaló hasta el suelo

    Tanto que pudo pasar
    y no fue mas que luz que escapó de algun sueño
    que se puede hacer si esta escrito
    que te quiere amar, a quien tienes que amar
    Ya nunca vuelve a llover
    en el mismo lugar donde ayer hubo vuelos
    y hoy pasa un recuerdo, la lluvia
    el amor que mojó tu pelo

    Tanto que pudo pasar
    y al final no pasó mas que nada, y el tiempo
    Que se puede hacer si esta escrito
    que te quiere amar, a quien tienes que amar
    Pasé por ese lugar
    donde dije el amor y rogue por un beso
    pense que debia morir o correr
    hasta golpeo tu silencio

    Tanto que pudo pasar
    y ahora busco el amor y me nacen recuerdos
    Que se puede hacer
    si esta escrito
    que te quiere amar
    a quien tienes que amar

    The Rose Of No Man's Land
    Composer(s): Jack Caddigan - James A. Brennan
    Performer(s): William Thomas
    and multiple other artists



    I've seen some beautiful flowers
    Grow in life's garden fair
    I've spent some wonderful hours
    Lost in their fragrance rare
    But I have found another
    Wondrous beyond compare...

    There's a rose that grows in no-man's land
    And it's wonderful to see
    Though its sprayed with tears, it will live for years
    In my garden of memory

    It's the one red rose the soldier knows
    It's the work of the Master's hand
    'Neath the War's great curse stands a Red Cross nurse
    She's the rose of no-man's land

    Out in the heavenly splendour
    Down to the trail of woe
    God in his mercy has sent her
    Fearing the World below
    We call her Rose of Heaven
    We've longed to love her so...

    There's a rose that grows in no-man's land
    And it's wonderful to see
    Though its sprayed with tears, it will live for years
    In my garden of memory

    It's the one red rose the soldier knows
    It's the work of the Master's hand
    'Neath the War's great curse stands a Red Cross nurse
    She's the rose of no-man's land

    I'm so close to Cathy
    I know just what she's dreamin' of
    She always calls me up to tell me
    Every time she falls in love

    Oh, I'm so close to Cathy
    I know her every tender sigh
    She loves to cry upon my shoulder
    Always for some other guy

    Oh, why can't she see
    The one true, lasting love in her life should be me?

    I'm so close to Cathy
    As close as anyone can be
    And I'll stay close to Cathy
    Hoping some day she'll feel close to me

    I'm so close to Cathy
    As close as anyone can be
    And I'll stay close to Cathy
    Hoping some day she'll feel close to me

    Composer(s): Rodger Rogério; Fausto Nilo
    Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



    Ai meu coração sem Natureza
    Vê se estanca esta tristeza
    Que ilumina o escuro bar
    O nosso amor é um escuro bar
    Suspiro azul das bocas presas
    O medo em minha mão
    Que faz tremer a tua mão
    Traspassa o coração
    Joga fumaça em meu pulmão
    Silente esquina do Brasil
    Nos verdes mares calma lama
    Um desespero sem canção
    Guarda o teu olhar de ave presa
    Na toalha de uma mesa
    Sem mirar a luz do sol
    Não há calor na luz do sol
    O fim da festa é uma certeza
    Te vejo em minha vida
    Como um retrato marrom
    São lembranças perdidas
    De um passado e tudo bom
    Brilha um punhal em teu olhar
    Sinto o veneno do teu beijo
    Era moderno o meu batom...

    Rose Of Allendale
    (Traditional)
    Performer(s): Mary Black
    and multiple other artists



    The moon was bright, the night was clear
    No breeze came over the sea
    When Mary left her highland home
    And wandered forth with me
    The flowers be-decked the mountainside
    And fragrance filled the vale
    But by far the sweetest flower there
    Was the Rose of Allendale

    Oh the Rose of Allendale
    Sweet Rose of Allendale
    By far the sweetest flower there
    Was the Rose of Allendale

    Where e'er I wandered east or west
    Though fate began to lour
    A solace still was she to me
    In sorrow's lonely hour
    When tempests lashed our lonely barque
    And rent her quivering sail
    One maiden's form withstood the storm
    'Twas the Rose of Allendale

    Oh sweet Rose of Allendale
    Sweet Rose of Allendale
    One maiden's form withstood the storm
    'Twas the Rose of Allendale

    And when my fever'd lips were parched
    On Afric's burning sands
    She whispered hopes of happiness
    And tales of distant lands
    My life has been a wilderness
    Unblessed by fortune's wheel
    Had fate not linked my love to hers
    The Rose of Allendale

    Oh sweet Rose of Allendale
    Sweet Rose of Allendale
    Had fate not linked my love to hers
    The Rose of Allendale

    Close The Door Composer(s): Ebb; Klein Performer(s): The Stargazers



    Bah-dah-bah-dah-bah-dah Look out! Bah-dah-bah-dah-bah-dah Close the door, they're comin' through the window Close the door, they're runnin' up the stairs Close the door They're hangin' off the ceiling Those (Bah-dah-bah-dah-bah-dah) are everywhere He was watering the flowers by the window sill And then he saw them comin' over yonder hill Why, there must have been a million of every shape and size And so I yelled to everyone "You'd better get inside" Close the door, they're comin' through the window Close the door, they're runnin' up the stairs Close the door They're hangin' off the ceiling Those (Bah-dah-bah-dah-bah-dah) are everywhere He ran into the playroom, grabbed a cricket bat And every time he met one, he gave him this and that That's how it drove me crazy and had me mystified The more and more I knocked 'em down, the more they multiplied Close the door, they're comin' through the window Close the door, they're runnin' up the stairs Close the door They're hangin' off the ceiling Those (Bah-dah-bah-dah-bah-dah) are everywhere They got into the kitchen, they got into the sink They went into the cellar and poured themselves a drink They got on the piano, ran up and down the keys And soon I was a-standin' in 'em right up to me knees Close the door, they're comin' through the window Close the door, they're runnin' up the stairs Close the door They're hangin' off the ceiling Those (Bah-dah-bah-dah-bah-dah) are everywhere Now that all the fuss is over, I sink into my chair This house is all a shambles, but really I don't care I'm going to take it easy, try not to think of them (Bah-dah-bah-dah-bah-dah-bah-dah) Here they come again! Close the door, they're comin' through the window Close the door, they're runnin' up the stairs Close the door They're hangin' off the ceiling Those (Bah-dah-bah-dah-bah-dah) are everywhere Close the door, close the door Those (Bah-dah-bah-dah-bah-dah) are everywhere (Bah-dah)

    Já conheço os passos dessa estrada
    Sei que não vai dar em nada
    Seus segredos sei de cor
    Já conheço as pedras do caminho
    E sei também que ali sozinho
    Eu vou ficar, tanto pior
    O que é que eu posso contra o encanto
    Desse amor que eu nego tanto
    Evito tanto
    E que no entanto
    Volta sempre a enfeitiçar
    Com seus mesmos tristes velhos fatos
    Que num álbum de retrato
    Eu teimo em colecionar

    Lá vou eu de novo como um tolo
    Procurar o desconsolo
    Que cansei de conhecer
    Novos dias tristes, noites claras
    Versos, cartas, minha cara
    Ainda volto a lhe escrever
    Pra dizer que isso é pecado
    Eu trago o peito tão marcado
    De lembranças do passado
    E você sabe a razão
    Vou colecionar mais um soneto
    Outro retrato em branco e preto
    A maltratar meu coração

    The Roots Of My Raisin'
    Performer(s): Merle Haggard



    I left the four lane highway to flatop seven miles
    Down by the old country school I went to as a child
    Two miles down a gravel road I could see the proud old home
    A tribute to a way of life that's almost come and gone

    The roots of my rasin' run deep
    I've come back for the strength that I need
    And hope comes no matter how far down I sink
    The roots of my rasin' run deep

    I pulled into the driveway, Lord, it sure was good to be there
    and I could see through the open door that Dad was asleep in his favorite chair
    In his hand was a picture of Mom and I remembered how close they were
    So I just turned away, I didn't want to wake him and spoil his dreams of her

    A christian who had the strength to lie the way she did
    Then to pull that apron off and do the Charleston for us kids
    Dad, a quiet man, who's gentle voice was seldom heard
    Who could borrow money at the bank simply on his word

    The roots of my rasin' run deep
    I've come back for the strength that I need
    And hope comes no matter how far down I sink
    The roots of my rasin' run deep
    The roots of my rasin' run deep

    Girl it's me and you now
    I've waited all day long just to hold you in my arms
    And it's exactly like I thought it would be
    Me loving you and you loving me

    Close the door
    Let me rub your back where you say it's sore
    Come on get closer
    So close to me
    Let's get lost in each other
    Come here baby

    I've waited all day long just to hold you in my arms
    And it's exactly like I thought it would be

    Dans la salle des pas retrouvés
    Terminus de l'aéroport
    Où des cœurs battent un peu plus fort

    C'est toute la force de la vie
    Qui fait les hommes et les fourmis
    Il en reste toujours assez
    Pour survivre et recommencer

    On ne peut réduire au silence
    Les voix qui chantent une espérance
    On ne peut vaincre un idéal
    Avec des chars ou bien des balles

    Des maisons basses aux toits de palme
    Au bord d'un canal aux eaux calmes
    Le temps glissait comme un bateau
    Sur les hommes et sur les roseaux

    Des enfants nus dans l'eau du fleuve
    S'éclaboussaient avant qu'il pleuve
    Au pied d'un temple au toit doré
    Sous les yeux du Bouddha couché

    Que reste-t-il de cette Asie
    Qui s'écoulait en harmonie
    Entre les barques du marché
    Les épices et les orchidées?

    Où sont les bronzes et leurs ombrelles
    Fleurs de safran sur la ruelle
    Avançant à pas mesurés
    Vers le seuil de l'éternité?

    Les odeurs de poudre et de sang
    Ont chassé les parfums d'encens
    Assombri la boue des rizières
    Et brisé les hommes et la terre

    Du haut du temple abandonné
    Le sourire du bouddha figé
    Ne contemple les yeux baissés
    Que des ruines et du temps gâché

    Où s'en vont les pensées fleuries
    Qui s'envolaient vers les esprits
    Des colliers de fleurs des autels
    En offrande aux âmes immortelles

    Les éclats de rire se sont tus
    Avec les enfants disparus
    Les bonheurs enfouis dans la terre
    Sous les cendriers et sous la poussière

    Et pourtant gravé dans l'ivoire
    Du silence et de la mémoire
    Se transmet à mots défendus
    Tout l'espoir qui semblait perdu

    Le courage et la volonté
    De se battre et de résister
    À la peur et à la souffrance
    À la mort et l'indifférence

    C'est toute la force de la vie
    Qui fait les hommes et les fourmis
    Il en reste toujours assez
    Pour survivre et recommencer

    On ne peut réduire au silence
    Les voix qui chantent une espérance
    On ne peut vaincre un idéal
    Avec des chars ou bien des balles

    Dans un avion venant d'Asie
    Quatre bébés sont endormis
    Un bracelet dit leurs prénoms
    Sur du tulle

    À l'encre marron...

    The Roof Is Leaking
    Composer(s): Phil Collins
    Performer(s): Phil Collins; The Matthew Show



    The roof is leaking and the wind is howling
    Kids are crying 'cause the sheets are so cold
    I woke this morning found my hands were frozen
    I've tried to fix the fire, but you know the damn thing's too old

    It's been months now, since we heard from our Mary
    I wonder if she ever made the coast
    She and her young man, they both moved out there
    But I sure hope they write, just to let us know

    And me, I'm getting stronger by the minute
    My wife's expecting, but I hope she can wait
    'Cause this winter looks like it's gonna be another bad one
    But Spring will soon be here,
    Oh God I hope it's not late

    Ma and Pa lived here, and theirs before them

    Tried their hardest to make it a home
    Seems so long now since they passed over
    Hope my children will try to make it their own

    The roof is leaking and the wind is howling
    Kids are crying, 'cause the sheets are so cold
    I woke this morning found my hands were frozen
    I've tried to fix the fire, but you know the damn thing's too old

    And me, I'm getting stronger by the minute
    My wife's expecting, but I hope she can wait
    'Cause this winter looks like it's gonna be another bad one
    But Spring will soon be here
    Oh God I hope it's not late

    Close The Door
    Composer(s): Joe Tex
    Performer(s): Joe Tex



    Baby now I've got to go and leave you
    But I'll be back
    Hey hey hey
    Close your door
    Now I trust you to be a good baby
    You know how to act
    Hey hey hey
    Close your door

    But it's your so-called friends
    Especially the men
    That I don't trust at all
    So keep your friends outdoors
    Keep both doors closed
    Because nobody knows who comes and goes
    When the doors ain't closed
    Hey hey hey
    Close your door

    I don't mind you and your girlfriends
    Playing some cards
    Hey hey hey
    Close your door
    Just as long as you play cards
    Out in the yard
    Hey hey hey
    Close your door

    Now you can even fix lunch
    And bore the whole bunch
    And make them feel at home
    But keep your friends outdoors
    Keep both doors closed
    Because nobody knows who comes and goes
    When the doors ain't closed
    Hey hey hey
    Close your door

    Yeah, the next house ideal
    Won't have but one latch
    Hey hey hey
    Close your door
    So the way that you go in
    That's the way you come out
    Hey hey hey
    Close your door

    Now, it's such a shame
    We have no window pane
    And one door is bad enough
    So, keep that one door closed
    And keep our friends outdoors
    `Cause nobody knows who comes and goes
    When the doors ain't closed
    Hey hey hey
    Close your door
    Alright

    Hey hey hey
    Close your door
    Hey hey hey
    Close your door
    Hey hey hey
    Close your door ...

    Retour
    Composer(s): J. Heyne; G. Masset
    Performer(s): Edith Piaf



    Tu retournes au pays, camarade
    Et la paix va renaître pour toi
    Laisse-là ton fusil, tes grenades
    On t'espère en te tendant les bras
    Pense à nous, qui restons à la guerre
    Les soirs calmes où ton cœur aimera
    Et va dire à mon père, à ma mère
    Qu'à Noël, peut-être, on reviendra...

    Ne leur dit rien du front
    Ne parle pas du feu
    Et mens quand il faudra mentir
    Dis-leur que nous chantions
    Quand tu as dû partir
    En buvant tous le verre d'adieu

    Tu retournes au pays, camarade
    Et la paix va renaître pour toi
    Laisse-là ton fusil, tes grenades
    On t'espère en te tendant les bras
    Pense à nous, qui restons à la guerre
    Les soirs calmes où ton cœur aimera
    Et va dire à mon père, à ma mère
    Qu'à Noël, peut-être, on reviendra...

    The Roof Comes Tumbling Down
    Performer(s): The Riverboys



    Well I'm a bip-bop daddy, when I get mad
    The roof comes tumbling down
    Yeah I'm a bip-bop daddy, when I get mad
    The roof comes tumbling down
    'Cause you see me baby when I get home
    I take it out on you
    You wind me up, my hands come up and bang!
    Your head is too
    I'm a bip-bop daddy, when I get mad
    The roof comes tumbling down
    I'm a bip-bop daddy, when I get mad
    The roof comes tumbling down
    (Oh, Rock!)

    Well I love you baby, but you hate me
    You know that's what you said
    You wind me up, my hand comes up and bang!
    Your gonna end up dead
    I'm a bip-bop daddy, when I get mad
    The roof comes tumbling down
    I'm a bip-bop daddy, when I get mad
    The roof comes tumbling down

    Close Friends
    Performer(s): The Poni-Tails



    Close friends
    Ahh, ahh
    I hope that you don't tell
    Close friends
    Ahh, ahh
    I think we're doing well

    I love you darling
    More than I can say
    I need you darling
    Every minute of the day
    I'm sorry now
    For the things I didn't do
    But must we spend our lives
    Just being close friends

    Ahh, ahh
    I ask you not to say
    Ahh, ahh
    Don't think of us that way

    So baby, please come back
    To me, someday
    You went away
    You left me all alone and blue
    You won't believe this
    But I'm still in love with you

    I'm sorry now
    For the things I didn't do
    Or must we spend our lives
    Just being close friends
