Gitans


Gitans
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel



Quand t'es parti gitan
Tu as laissé seulement
Une voiture en morceaux
T'as pris tes chaises de bambou
Ta guitare de rien du tout
T'as mis le vent sous ta peau
T'as caressé les oiseaux, t'as caressé les oiseaux
T'as mis des pierres sur le feu
Les femmes aux longs cheveux
Ont tout lavé dans des seaux
Séché la linge sur les buissons
Rentré les gosses dans les camions
Sur les paniers de roseaux
Et caressé les oiseaux, caressé les oiseaux
Où allais-tu?
À part les flaques de boue
Et quelques traces de roues
Tu n'as rien voulu laisser
T'as mis ta fierté gitane
Aux rideaux des caravanes
Comme des drapeaux pliés
T'as caressé les oiseaux, t'as caressé les oiseaux
Où allais-tu?
J'ai peur des lumières des villes
Des grandes maisons immobiles
Des jardins bâtis tout autour
J'ai peur qu'on emmène d'office
Au bout du fusil des milices
Les enfants de notre amour
Ils traitent nos filles de voleuses
Du fond de leurs maisons peureuses
Pleines de chiens de combat
Ils attachent leurs volailles
Ils surveillent leurs ferrailles
On ne se ressemble pas...
Y a des panneaux depuis
Emplacement interdit
Comme s'il y avait eu la peste
T'as plus qu'à chercher ailleurs
Des gens qui auront moins peur
En espérant qu'il en reste
Et caresser les oiseaux! Et caresser les oiseaux!

Take Me Back To Dear Old Ireland


Take Me Back To Dear Old Ireland
Composer(s): Morrison
Performer(s): Cavan O’Connor



There’s a spot called dear old Ireland that is always calling me
An exile from my native land so far across the sea
And every time I see a vessel waiting in the bay
I feel I want to go aboard, and then I want to say

Take me back to dear old Ireland, anywhere at all
The lakes of Connemara or the hills of Donegal
When I get home no more I’ll roam to any foreign strand
Here’s my fare, oh! Take me there to dear old Ireland

Sure it’s many years since I have seen that land so dear to me
The scenes of happy childhood treasured in my memory
The longing in my heart is growing stronger day by day
To be once more on Irish soil, and that is why I say

Take me back to dear old Ireland, anywhere at all
The lakes of Connemara or the hills of Donegal
When I get home no more I’ll roam to any foreign strand
Here’s my fare, oh! Take me there to dear old Ireland

Mother's A Redneck Too


Mother's A Redneck Too
Composer(s): John Evans
Performer(s): Roger Creager



Hey I'm a redneck Mother I must confess
I wear tight blue jeans not a tie-dyed dress
I got a tattoo of Texas on my chest;
hey I'm a redneck mother a redneck at best
I'm a redneck mother and my mother's a redneck too

I'm a redneck mother I must concede
I wear a red and blue hat it reads "Lonestar Feed"
I raised a cross bred chicken it goes "Quakity-cluck"
I got a kicker bumper sticker on the back of my truck
I'm a redneck mother and my mother's a redneck too

I can fish all night and sleep until noon, romance a case of beer under the Texas moon
There's only one thing that will set me back and that's a long legged lady in a pink Cadillac

I'm a redneck mother I must reply
I built a beer can fence nearly 10 foot high
Yonder on my front porch, it's my guard dog Blue
He's a Mississippi leg hound with some legging to do
I'm a redneck mother and my mother's a redneck too

I can fish all night and sleep until noon, romance a case of beer under the Texas moon
There's only one thing that will set me back and that's a long legged lady in a pink Cadillac

John why don't we head down to New Orleans?
Could we try to find a bowl of them rice and red beans?
Before we hit the road could you explain what this means?
Sing it for me one more time

Hey I'm a redneck Mother I must confess I wear tight blue jeans not a tie-dyed dress
I got a tattoo of Texas on my chest; hey I'm a redneck mother, a redneck at best
I'm a redneck mother and my mother's a redneck too

Oh Lord you're a redneck mother and your mother's a redneck too

Gitanos En Caravana


Gitanos En Caravana
Composer(s): Quintero; León; Gordillo
Performer(s): Raphael



Gitanos por la carretera
Que fatigan tienen que pena me dan
Errantes sin saber si quiera
Ni de donde vienen ni pa donde van

Gitanos en caravana
Gitano muerto de sed
Ni piedad samaritana
Ni pozo donde beber

Cantando por el mundo entero
Con la voz morena del rey faraon
Lunares, bronces y panderos
Y un rosal de pena en el corazon

Ojos de tiniebla, piel aceitunada
Cintura delgada de palma y jazmin
Cruzan como sombras ya de madrugada
Por una vereda que no tiene fin

La luna lunera les sale al encuentro
Por montes y valles y orillas del mar
Mientras se les clava corazon adentro
Un cuchillo en copla que empieza a cantar

Take Me Back To Chicago


Take Me Back To Chicago
Composer(s): Daniel Seraphine - David "Hawk" Wolinski
Performer(s): Chicago



Take me back to Chicago
Lay my soul to rest
Where my life was free and easy
Remember me at my best

Take me back to Chicago
Where music was all I had
I tried to be good as I could
And sometimes that made me sad

Take me back to Chicago, to Chicago
Why don't you take me back
Take me back, take me back
To Chicago

I still dream of the Lake of peacefulness
The warm summer breeze
'Cause my life was so much simpler then
Street corners and Tastee Freeze

Take me back to Chicago
'Cause hustlin's not my style
L.A. was just a bit too hard
I wish I could be a child

Livin' back in Chicago, in Chicago
Why don't you take me back
Take me back, take me back
To Chicago

Take me back to Chicago
Lay my soul to rest
Where my life was free and easy
Remember me at my best

Take me back to Chicago
'Cause hustlin's not my style
L.A. was just a bit too hard
I wish I could be a child

Livin' back in Chicago, in Chicago
Why don't you take me back
Take me back, take me back
To Chicago

Take me back, take me back ...

Mother-In-Law


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


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

Take Me Back


Take Me Back
Composer(s): Andrae Crouch - Little Walter - Teddy Randazzo
Performer(s): Little Anthony & the Imperials



Take me back I'm begging please
Take me back I'm on my knees
For you to scold me, hurt me, hold me
Darling take me back

When you belonged to me
I had a jealous mind
Too late I learned that you
Were not the cheating kind

Take me back I'm begging please
Take me back I'm on my knees
For you to scold me, hurt me, hold me
Darling take me back

My jealous eyes have learned
To take a look or two
They were to blind to see
That I was losing you

Take me back I'm begging please
Take me back I'm on my knees
For you to scold me, hurt me, hold me
Darling take me back

They say you live and learn
And though I've tried before
I promise never to
Be jealous any more

Take me back I'm begging please
Take me back I'm on my knees
For you to scold me, hurt me, hold me
Darling take me back

Mother, What'll I Do Now?


Mother, What'll I Do Now?
Composer(s): George Formby; Cliffe
Performer(s): George Formby



Mother you give good advice
Always you mean well
Now I need it more than ever
I'm inside this cell

I'm behind a prison wall
The bed's so hard and much too small
There's no pyjamas here at all
Oh, Mother what'll I do now

They told me they would treat me swell
Tucked inside my little cell
But up to now it's been like h...!
Mother what'll I do now

We're parted from each other
And that's too bad
You're my favourite Mother
Oh, the best I ever had

Tonight I've got a date, you see
But they won't let me have a key
And the warder's won't wait up for me
Oh, Mother what'll I do now

It's hard to pass the time away
I'm in a dangerous mood, I say
I've smoked two cigarettes today
Oh, Mother what'll I do now

First I stand and then I sit
Then I sit and stand a bit
But I can't stand much more of it
Oh, Mother what'll I do now

We're parted from each other
And that's too bad
You're my favourite Mother
Oh, the best I ever had

I got such an awful shock
I asked the time, for there's no clock
And the warder said, "Six months Old Cock"
Oh, Mother what'll I do now

I ordered lunch from soup to sweet
But they forgot the fish and meat
And since the soup there's nowt to eat
Oh, Mother what'll I do now

I've had such a tummy ache
All night long I've been awake
Some castor oil they made me take
Oh, Mother what'll I do now

We're parted from each other
And that's too bad
You're my favourite Mother
Oh, the best I ever had

I've played Peter-fly-away-Paul
I've played tiddlywinks and all
I've written rude words upon the wall
Oh, Mother what'll I do now

Gitane


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


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
We’ll climb the peak until we’re 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


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


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


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


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

I wanna mother you, smother you
with a love that's gentle and true
I wanna talk to you
say sweet things to you
and my love will see you through
Put your head on my shoulder
Put your hand, darling, in mine
Just let me take you in my arms
and love away the loneliness you hide
And when life sometimes gets you down
and you need to cry
Oh, I'll be standing by your side
To be your strength and be your guide

I wanna mother you, smother you
Show me what love is about
I wanna talk to you
say sweet things to you
Take away all of your doubt

Just let me 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

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

Mother you
smother you

Giros
Composer(s): Fito Paez
Performer(s): Fito Paez



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

Giros

Take Me Around Again


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


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!

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

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


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
