Dettagli
((Adapted from: Detalhes (Roberto Carlos) - 1971))
Composer(s): Roberto Carlos - Erasmo Carlos - Bruno Lauzi
Performer(s): Ornella Vanoni - 1973
E' inutile tentare di dimenticare
per molto tempo ancora nella vita
dovrai cercare
dettagli cosi' piccoli che tu
non sei ancora pronto per capire
ma che comnunque contano per dire
chi siamo noi
se vedi un'altra donna camminare
nella tua via
e ti ricordi quando c'ero io
la colpa e'tutta sua
il ritmo bilanciato del suo passo
sono ritagli di dettagli
se no perche'
ti stai immediatamente ricordando
proprio di me
io so che un'altra donna
sta inventando una frase fatta
di parole come quelle che ho gia' detto
mi sembra matta
non credo che ti voglia
cosi'tanto bene
errori di grammatica
lei non ne fa
e senza errori non si ha mai felicita'
e se farai l'amore con qualcuno
fallo tacendo
perche' se dici a un'altra
il nome mio
ti stai sbagliando
non tutti hanno piacere di sentire
parlare di qualcuno che non c'e'
sono dettagli che fanno capire
che pensi a me
non dirmi che nel cuore non ti resta
piu' quasi niente
a furia di dettagli stai cambiando
e gia' si sente
la piccola scintilla
fa il grande incendio

Raven In The Snow
Raven In The Snow
Composer(s): Bill Miller; John Flanagan
Performer(s): Bill Miller
With the wings of sorrow, I have taken flight
Cloaked in the darkness like a thief in the night
I have watched the farmer planting in his field
And known that what he sows, is there for me to steal
I take what I need, never more, never more
In the art of survival, there's no rich there's no poor
Time passes by, kingdoms come and go
I've seen it all, I'm a raven in the snow
I have watched the seekers searching for their gold
The rape of the land, generations unfold
Nations of the world, their rise and their fall
I've watched it all, I'm a raven in the snow
I have heard the crying, wailing in the wind
Empty words and broken promises, time and time again
Song of the sparrow, call of the crow
Echo in the mountain and the valley's below
The scarecrow and the hunter, can't keep me away
The winter winds a blowin' couldn't lead me astray
You can separate the flock still my colors would show
I will stand out, like a raven in the snow

The Maker
The Maker
Composer(s): Daniel Lanois
First release by: Daniel Lanois - 1989
Oh, Oh deep water
Black, and cold like the night
I stand with arms wide open
I've run a twisted mile
I'm a stranger
in the eyes of the maker
I could not see
for fog in my eyes
I could not feel
for the fear in my life
From across the great divide
In the distance I saw a light
Jean Baptiste
walking to me with the maker
My body is bent and broken
by long and dangerous sleep
I can't work the fields of Abraham
and turn my head away
I'm not a stranger
in the hands of the maker
Brother John
Have you seen the homeless daughters
standing there
with broken wings
I have seen the flaming swords
there over east of Eden
burning in the eyes of the maker
burning in the eyes of the maker
burning in the eyes of the maker
burning in the eyes of the maker
Oh river rise from your sleep...

À sa façon de nous app'ler ses gosses
On voyait bien qu'ell' nous aimait beaucoup
C'était chez ell' que notre argent de poche
Disparaissait dans les machines à sous
Après les cours on allait boire un verre
Quand on entrait Laurette souriait
Et d'un seul coup nos leçons nos problèmes
Disparaissaient quand ell' nous embrassait
C'était bien, chez Laurette
Quand on faisait la fête
Elle venait vers nous.. Lau - rette
C'é tait bien, c'était chouette
Quand on était fauché
Elle payait pour nous.. Lau - rette
Et plus encore afin qu'on soit tranquille
Dans son café y avait un coin pour nous
On s'y mettait pour voir passer les filles
Et j'en connais qui nous plaisaient beaucoup
Si par hasard on avait l'âme en peine
Laurette seule savait nous consoler
Ell' nous parlait et l'on riait quand même
En un clin d'œil ell' pouvait tout changer
C'était bien chez Laurette
On y retournera
Pour ne pas l'oublier Iaurette
Ce s'ra bien ce s'ra chouette
Et l'on reparlera,
Des histoir's du passé

The Maid With The Bonny Brown Hair
The Maid With The Bonny Brown Hair
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Cathal McConnel & Boys From The Lough
As once I roved out very early
To view the green meadows in Spring
It was down by the side of a river
I heard a fair damsel did sing
And I stood in completest amazement
I gazed on that maiden so fair
She appeared to me brighter than Venus
That maid with the bonny brown hair
Her eyes they did shine like diamonds
Her cheeks like the red rose in June
Her skin was as white as the lily
And her breath had the rarest perfume
And a dress of the best speckled velvet
This charming wee lass she did wear
And chains of bright gold and pure silver
Were twined in her bonny brown hair
For a long while we courted together
Till at last we named the wedding day
And one day while conversing together
Very kindly to me she did say
"O, it's I have another far kinder
My land and my fortune to share
So farewell to you now and forever"
Said the maid with the bonny brown hair
As I walked down by the river
I spied a ship from the proud land of Spain
They were singing and dancing with pleasure
But mine was a heart full of pain
And as the ship sailed down the river
I espied my old sweetheart so fair
Quite content in the arms of another
Was the maid with the bonny brown hair
So farewell to my friends and relations
Perchance I shall see you no more
And when I'm in far distant nations
Sure I'll sigh for my dear native shore
When I'm in some far distant nation
My land and my fortune to share
I hope I'll get someone more kinder
Than the maid with the bonny brown hair

Cheyenne (Shy Ann)
Cheyenne (Shy Ann)
Composer(s): Harry H. Williams; Egbert Van Alstyne
Performer(s): Billy Murray
Way out in old Wyoming long ago
Where coyotes lurk while night winds howl and blow
A cowboy's lusty voice rang out "Hello"
And echoed through the valley down below
Then came back a maiden's answer sweet and clear
Cowboy tossed his hat up in the air
Said he, "I've come to take you right away from here
Cheyenne they say is miles away, but they've a preacher there"
Then she just drooped her eye, she was so very shy
So shy, oh my!, and then he made reply
Oooh-oooh-oooh
Shy Ann, shy Ann, hop on my pony
There's room here for two, Dear
But after the ceremony
We'll both ride back home, Dear, as one
On my pony from old Cheyenne
They rode that night and nearly half the day
Cheyenne was sixty-seven miles away
But when at last they galloped up the street
The cowboy's pride was really hard to beat
On his arm, his future bride a-carrying
But beneath the little church's dome
Said she, "I feel like turning back, not marrying"
His face got red and then he said, "You will or you'll walk home
If you ride back today, you honour and obey"
"I will" she cried, then he was heard to say
Oooh-oooh-oooh
Shy Ann, shy Ann, hop on my pony
There's room here for two, Dear
But after the ceremony
We'll both ride back home, Dear, as one
On my pony from old Cheyenne

Duck, the way to least is less
Tea craving of the metal west

Love an empty son and guess

pimples dangerous and blessed
Heaving, arriving, tinkling
mingling jets and statuettes
seething wet we meeting fleck
seething wet we meeting fleck
lines and winds and crib and half

of each fair day I give you half
I look into your eyes and you,
flathe in the sun for you...
Bam, spastic, tactile engine
heaving, crackle, slinky, dormy, roofy, wham

and if you think you're un-loved
then we know about that...
rats, rats, lay down flat!
yes, yes, yes, yes, lay down flat!

The Maid Of Tottenham
The Maid Of Tottenham
(Traditional)
As I came down from Tottenham
Upon a market day
'Twas there I spied a bonny lass
Her clothing was so gay
Her journey was to London
With buttermilk and whey
So we both jogged on together, my boys
Sing fal the dal diddle al day
God speed fair maid, says I to her
You are well overtook
At that she cast her head aside
And gave to me a look
That was as full of lechery
As letters in a book
And we both jogged on together, my boys
Sing fal the dal diddle al day
And as we walked along the road
Together side by side
This pretty maid of Tottenham
Her garter came untied
For fear that she might lose it
Look out sweetheart, I cried
Your garter's coming down my love
Sing fal the dal diddle al day
O now you've been so venturesome
So venturesome and free
O now you've been so venturesome
Will you tie it up for me?
O yes, o yes, if you'll come
To the undergrove with me
So we both jogged on together, my boys
Sing fal the dal diddle al day
I took her to the undergrove
Among the grass so green
The fair maid spread her legs so wide
That I fell in between
Such tying of a garter
You have but seldom seen
And we both jogged on together, my boys
Sing fal the dal diddle al day
O now you've had your will of me
Pray tell to me your name
Likewise your occupation
From where and whence you came
My name is Johnny the Rover
From Dublin town I came
And I live alongside of the Ups and Downs
Sing fal the dal diddle al day
So when she came to Tottenham
Her butter was not sold
By losing of her maidenhead
Which made her blood run cold
He's gone, he's gone, he's gone
He's not the lad for me
For he lives alongside of the Ups and Downs
Sing fal the dal diddle al day

Cheyenne
Cheyenne
Composer(s): William Lava - Stanley D. Jones
Cheyenne, Cheyenne, where will you be campin' tonight?
Lonely man, Cheyenne, will your heart stay free and light?
Dream, Cheyenne, of a girl you may never love
Move along, Cheyenne, like the restless cloud up above
The wind that blows, that comes and goes, has been your only home
But will the wild wind one day cease and you'll no longer roam
Move along, Cheyenne, the next pasture's always so green
Driftin' on, Cheyenne don't forget the things you have seen
And when you settle down where will it be, Cheyenne
Cheyenne!

Ration Blues
Composer(s): Antonio Casey;
Collenane Clark; Louis Jordan
Performer(s): Louis Jordan
Baby, baby, baby
What's wrong with Uncle Sam?
He's cut down on my sugar
Now he's messin' with my ham
I got the ration blues, blue as I can be
Poor me, I've got those ration blues
I got to live on fourty ounces
Of any kind of meat
Those fourty little ounces
Gotta last me all the week
I got to cut down on my jelly
It takes sugar to make it sweet
I'm gonna steal all your jelly, baby
And rob you of your meat
I got the ration blues, blue as I can be
Poor me, I've got those ration blues
I like to wake up in the morning
With my jelly by my side
Since rationing started, baby
You just take your stuff and hide
They reduced my meat and sugar
And rubber's disappearing fast
You can't ride no more with poppa
'Cause Uncle Sam wants my gas
I got the ration blues, blue as I can be
Poor me, I've got those ration blues

The Maid Of Amsterdam
The Maid Of Amsterdam
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Paul Clayton
In Amsterdam there lived a maid
Mark you well what I say!
In Amsterdam there lives a maid
And this fair maid my trust betrayed
I'll go no more a roving, with you fair maid
A roving, A roving, since roving's been my ru-i-in
I'll go no more a roving, with you fair maid
Her eyes are like two stars so bright
Mark you well what I say
Her eyes are like two stars so bright
Her face is fair, her step is light
I'll go no more a roving, with you fair maid
A roving, A roving, since roving's been my ru-i-in
I'll go no more a roving, with you fair maid
I asked this fair maid to take a walk
Mark well what I do say
I asked this maid out for a walk
That we might have some private talk
I'll go no more a roving, with you fair maid
A roving, A roving, since roving's been my ru-i-in
I'll go no more a roving, with you fair maid
Then I took this fair maid's lily white hand
Mark well what I do say
I took this fair maid's lily white hand
In mine as we walked along the strand
I'll go no more a roving, with you fair maid
A roving, A roving, since roving's been my ru-i-in
I'll go no more a roving, with you fair maid
Then I put my arm around her waist
Mark well what I do say!
For I put my arm around her waist
And from her lips snatched a kiss in haste!
I'll go no more a roving, with you fair maid
A roving, A roving, since roving's been my ru-i-in
I'll go no more a roving, with you fair maid
Then a great big Dutchman rammed my bow
Mark well what I do say
For a great big Dutchman rammed my bow
And said, "Young man, dis bin mein vrow!"
I'll go no more a roving, with you fair maid
A roving, A roving, since roving's been my ru-i-in
I'll go no more a roving, with you fair maid
Then take warning boys, from me
Mark well what I do say!
So take a warning, boys, from me
With other men's wives don't make too free
I'll go no more a roving, with you fair maid
A roving, A roving, since roving's been my ru-i-in
I'll go no more a roving, with you fair maid
For if you do you will surely rue
Mark well what I do say!
For if you do you will surely rue
Your act, and find my words come true
I'll go no more a roving, with you fair maid
A roving, A roving, since roving's been my ru-i-in
I'll go no more a roving, with you fair maid

Rat Trap
Rat Trap
Composer(s): Bob Geldof
Performer(s): The Boomtown Rats
There was a lot of rocking going on that night
Cruising time for the young bright lights
Just down past the gasworks, by the meat factory door
The five lamp boys were coming on strong
The Saturday night city beat had already started
And the pulse of the corner boys sprang into action
And young Billy watched it all under the yellow street light
And said "tonight of all nights there's gonna be a fight"
Billy don't like it living here in this town
He says the traps have been sprung long before he was born
He says "hope bites the dust behind all the closed doors
And pus and grime ooze from its scab crusted sores
There's screaming and crying in the high rise blocks"
It's a rat trap Billy but you're already caught
But you can make it if you want to or you need it bad enough
You're young and good looking and you're acting kind of tough
Anyway it's Saturday night time to see what's going down
Put on the bright suit Billy, head for the right side of town
It's only 8 o'clock but you're already bored
You don't know what it is but there's got to be more
You'd better find a way out, hey kick down that door
It's a rat trap and you've been caught
In this town Billy says "everybody tries to tell you what to do"
In this town Billy says "everybody says you gotta follow rules"
You walk up to the traffic lights
Switch from your left to right
You push in that button, and that button comes alight
It tells you
Walk don't walk, Walk don't walk
Talk don't talk, Talk don't talk
Walk don't walk, Walk don't walk
Talk don't talk, Talk don't talk
Hey Billy take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Billy take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Billy take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Billy take a walk with me
Little Judy's trying to watch "Top of the Pops"
But mum and dad are fighting don't they ever stop
She takes down her coat and walks out on the street
It's cold on that road, but it's got that home beat
Deep down in her pockets she finds 50p
Now is that any way for a young girl to be
"I'm gonna get out of school work in some factory
Work all the hours God gave me get myself a little easy money"
Now, now, now na na
Her mind's made up, she walks down the road
Her hands in her pockets, coat buttoned 'gainst the cold
She finds Billy down at the Italion cafe
And when he's drunk it's hard to understand what Billy says
But then he mumbles in his coffee and suddenly roars
It's a rat trap Judy and we've been caught!

The Maharajah Of Magador
The Maharajah Of Magador
Composer(s): John Jacob Loeb - Harris
Performer(s): Vaughn Monroe & Ziggy Talent
There's a rich Maharajah of Magador
Who had ten thousand camels and maybe more
He had rubies and pearls, and the loveliest girls
But he didn't know how to do the rumba
He could afford... a big reward
So to his people one day he said
Ah ha hahahahahahahahahahah
(Ah ha hahahahahahahahahahah)
Which means...
Take my rubies and take my pearls
Take my camels and take my girls
Rumba lessons are wanted for
The rich Maharajah of Magador
Ah hahahahahahahahah
So a slick little chick answered, "That's for me"
Through the ad he had placed in Variety
When she saw his expanse, she could tell at a glance
That he'd never learn how to do the rumba
He had his wealth, he had his health
So he looked in her eyes and said
Ah hahahahahahahahahha
(Ah ha hahahahahahahahahahah)
Take my rubies and take my pearls
Take my camels, I'll keep my girls
From now on you'll be working for
The rich Maharajah of Magador
Ah hahahahahahahaha
He was anxious to learn, so she taught him right
But she taught him the thrill of a moonlight night
He discovered the bliss of a half promised kiss
But he never learned how to do the rumba
And on the day... she went away
You could hear all the people say
She took his rubies and took his pearls
Took his camels and all his girls
Took his money and what is more
She made the rich Maharajah the poor Maharajah of Magador
Ah hahahahahahahah

Chewing Gum
Composer(s): A.P. Carter
Performer(s): The Carter Family
and multiple other artists
Mama sent me to the spring
She told me not to stay
I fell in love with a pretty little girl
And could not get away
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
First she give me peaches
Then she give me pears
Next she give me fifty cents
Kissed me on the stairs
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
Mommy don't 'low me to whistle
Pappy don't 'low me to sing
They don't 'low me to marry
I'll marry just the same
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
I wouldn't marry a preacher
I'll tell you the reason why
He hollers when he preaches
Makes the people cry
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
I wouldn't have a lawyer
I'll tell you the reason why
Every time he opens his mouth
He tells a great big lie
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
I wouldn't have a doctor
I'll tell you the reason why
He rides all over the country
And makes the people die
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
I wouldn't have a farmer
I'll tell you the reason why
Because he has so plenty to eat
'Specially pumpkin pie
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
I took my girl to a dance last night
All the folks was there
She took out her chewing gum
And left it on a chair
A nice young man came up and sat
And asked my girl to dance
When he tried to rise, he couldn't budge
He was stuck fast by his pants
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
I took my girl to church last night
How do you reckon she done?
She walked right up in the preacher's face
And chawed her chewing gum
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
I took my girl for a buggy ride
And to watch the setting sun
Just as I bent to kiss her
She chawed her chewing gum
I turned the buggy right around
And straightaway home we come
I might have been a married man
If it hadn't been for gum!
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum

Human-race in a rat race, rat race
You got the horse race
You got the dog race
You got the human-race
But this is a rat race, rat race
