Performer(s): Youssou N'Dour



Boul ma sene, boul
Ma guiss madi
re nga fokni mane

Khamouma li neka
thi sama souf ak thi guinaw

Beugouma kouma khol oaldine yaw li neka si yaw
Mo ne si man, li ne si mane moye dilene diapale
Roughneck and rudeness,
We should be using, on the ones who practice wicked charms
For the sword and the stone
Bad to the bone
Battle is not over
Even when it's won
And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept
Of the tone the skin is living in
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting
J'assume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout,
J'aimerais qu'on oublie leur couleur pour qu'ils esperent
Beaucoup de sentiments de race qui font qu'ils desesperent
Je veux les portes grandements ouvertes,
Des amis pour parler de leur peine, de leur joie
Pour qu'ils leur filent des infos qui ne divisent pas
Changer
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting
And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept
Of the tone the skin is living in
And there's a million voices
And there's a million voices
To tell you what she should be thinking
So you better sober up for just a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting

Mariposa Tecknicolor


Mariposa Tecknicolor
Composer(s): Fito Paez
Performer(s): Fito Paez;
John Dennis; Nicho Hinojosa



Todas las mañanas que viví
todas las calles donde me escondí
el encantamiento de un amor, el sacrificio de mis padres
los zapatos de charol...

Los domingos en el club
sólo que Cristo sigue allí en la cruz
las columnas de la catedral
y la tribuna grita gol el lunes por la capital

Todos yiran y yiran
todos bajo el sol
se proyecta la vida
mariposa tecknicolor

Cada ves que me miras
cada sensación
se proyecta la vida
mariposa tecknicolor

Vi sus caras de resignación
los vi felices llenos de dolor
ellas cocinaban el arroz, el levantaba sus principios de
sútil emperador
todo al fin se sucedió, solo que el tiempo no los esperó
la melancolía de morir en este mundo
y de vivir sin una estúpida razón

Todos yiran y yiran
todos bajo el sol
se proyecta la vidav
mariposa tecknicolor

Cada ves que me miras
cada sensación
se proyecta la vida
mariposa tecknicolor

Yo te conozco de antes
desde antes del ayer
yo te conozco de antes
cuando me fui no me alejé...
llevo la voz cantante
llevo la luz del tren
llevo un destino errante
llevo tus marcas en mi piel
y hoy sólo te vuelvo a ver...

70's Scenario

70's Scenario
Composer(s): Daryl Hall
Performer(s): Hall & Oates



In bed sittin’
and reading by the t.v. light

Stay away from the window,
thunder and lighting

And the rain,
the rain keeps fallin’ down

That’s something that hasn’t changed
Yeah, there’s something inside me,
it’s quiet when it rains

At the end of the rainbow, there ain’t no pot of gold
And the light in the morning, hardly ever shows
Ain’t no easy living, everybody knows
And it’s all around us ........
70’s scenario
She called me a prisoner, in a prison of the mass
She said acceptance from the future, is freedom from the past
And I laugh, and say that’s alright
Things really ain’t that tough
As long as I’m still able, to turn the t.v. off
At the end of the rainbow, there ain’t no pot of gold
And the light in the morning, hardly ever shows
Ain’t no reason living, everybody knows
And it’s all around us ........
70’s scenario
At the end of the rainbow, there ain’t no pot of gold
And the light in the morning, hardly ever shows
Ain’t no reason living, everybody knows
And it’s all around us ........

Marions-Les


Marions-Les
Composer(s): Robert Nyel; Gaby Verlor
Performer(s): Juliette Gréco



Dans les bras de celle qui dort
Qui dort enfin confiante et bête
Parce qu'elle croit que tu es son maître
Moi je sais bien que tu t'ennuies
Comme tu sais que je m'ennuie
Dans les bras de celui qui dort
Orgueilleux, confiant et bête
Tu sais bien que l'on s'aime encore
Alors ces deux qu'on n'aime pas
Qu'on aime un peu

Marions-les, marions-les
Je crois qu'ils se ressemblent
Marions-les, marions-les
Ils seront très heureux ensemble!

Ils nous offrent la guérison
D'être le salut de nos vies
De briser la mélancolie
À la source de leur amour
Mais que font-ils de notre amour
Ceux qui ont pris la succession?
Ils nous offrent que l'on oublie
C'est possible, on s'aime encore
Alors ces deux qu'on n'aime pas
Qu'on aime un peu

Marions-les, marions-les
Je crois qu'ils se ressemblent
Marions-les, marions-les
Ils seront très heureux ensemble!

Ell's nous font rire leurs colères
Wt leurs rires nous font pleurer
Et leurs peines nous indiffèrent
Marions-les, marions-les, marions-les
Mais nous deux
Rentrons chez nous

720 In The Books

720 In The Books
Composer(s): Harold Adamson;
Jan Savitt; Johnny Watson
Performer(s): Mary Ann McCall;
and various other artists



When the rhythm gets to
rockin' on the swing side

And the cats condescend to lend an ear
When the beatniks start to gather 'round the ringside
There's a certain thing they always want to hear
Seven-twenty, seven-twenty in the books

What's the tune they like the best
When the jive becomes de-luxe
What's the number one request
Seven-twenty in the books

When the band begins to play
You should see the dirty looks
If the leader doesn't say
Seven-twenty in the books

It's something that you'll approve
Gets you right in the groove
To keep in step
You really gotta be hep

Just be like the kangaroo
Or the fishes in the brooks
Ev'rybody's jumpin' to
Seven-twenty in the books

(Instrumental Break)

It's something that you'll approve
Gets you out o' the groove
To keep in step
You really gotta be hep

Just be like the kangaroo
Or the fishes in the brooks
Ev'rybody's jumpin' to
Seven-twenty in the books

Seven-twenty
Seven-twenty
Seven-twenty
Let's keep jumpin' to seven-twenty in the books

Marinette


Marinette
Italian Titles: La Milena; Marinetta
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
Originally performed by: Georges Brassens
Covered by various other artists



Quand j'ai couru chanter ma p'tit' chanson pour Marinette
La belle, la traîtresse était allée à l'opéra
Avec ma p'tit' chanson, j'avais l'air d'un con, ma mère
Avec ma p'tit' chanson, j'avais l'air d'un con

Quand j'ai couru porter mon pot d'moutarde à Marinette
La belle, la traîtresse avait déjà fini d'dîner
Avec mon petit pot, j'avais l'air d'un con, ma mère
Avec mon petit pot, j'avais l'air d'un con

Quand j'offris pour étrenne un'bicyclette à Marinette
La belle, la traîtresse avait acheté une auto
Avec mon p'tit vélo, j'avais l'air d'un con, ma mère
Avec mon p'tit vélo, j'avais l'air d'un con

Quand j'ai couru tout chose au rendez-vous de Marinette
La bell' disait: "J't'adore" à un sal' typ' qui l'embrassait
Avec mon bouquet d'fleurs, j'avais l'air d'un con, ma mère
Avec mon bouquet d'fleurs, j'avais l'air d'un con

Quand j'ai couru brûler la p'tit' cervelle à Marinette
La belle était déjà morte d'un rhume mal placé
Avec mon revolver, j'avais l'air d'un con, ma mère
Avec mon revolver, j'avais l'air d'un con

Quand j'ai couru lugubre à l'enterr'ment de Marinette
La belle, la traîtresse était déjà ressuscitée
Avec ma p'tit' couronn', j'avais l'air d'un con, ma mère
Avec ma p'tit' couronn', j'avais l'air d'un con

75 Septembers

75 Septembers
Composer(s): Cheryl Wheeler
Performer(s):
Peter, Paul & Mary; Cheryl Wheeler;
D.C. Anderson; Meadowlark



In the year of the yellow cab
In the shadow of the great world war
The third kid grandmom had
Came into this world
On a rolling farm in Maryland
When Wilson was the President
And summer blew her good-bye through the trees

A child of changing times
Growing up between the wars
The Fords rolled off the line
And bars all closed their doors
And I imagine you back then
With snap brim hat and farmer's tan
Where horses drew their wagons through the fields

chorus:
Now the fields are all four lanes
And the moon's not just a name
Are you more amazed at how things change
Or how they stay the same
And do you sit here on this porch and wonder
How the time flies by
Or does it seem to barely creep along
With 75 Septembers come and gone

Were the fields all gold and fawn
Was the spring house dark and cool
Did the rooster crow at dawn
When they got you up for school
And would you tell me once again
The tales of grandad's hired men
And how they drove the old road to town

Marine's Hymn


Marine's Hymn
Composer(s): Jacques Offenbach
Performer(s): Henry C. Davis



From the Halls of Montezuma
To the Shores of Tripoli
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land and sea
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean
We are proud to claim the title
of United States Marine

Our flag's unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun
We have fought in every clime and place
Where we could take a gun
In the snow of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes
You will find us always on the job
The United States Marines

Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve
In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven's scenes
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines

Marina (Polish Version)


Marina
Composer(s): Rocco Granata

(Originally performed by: Rocco Granata)



Sluchajcie opowiesci o Marinie
Smarkula w calej okolicy slynie
Z jej ust nie schodzi usmiech czy wierzycie
Choc my ze zlosci rwiemy wlosy z glów
Ktos spoi osla winem - to Marina
Wybije wszystkie szyby - to Marina
Umaze maslem szyje - to Marina
Ach z ta dziewczyna klopot jest za dwóch

Marina, Marina, Marina
Nie spotkasz dziewczyny jak ta
Marina, Marina, Marina
Jest szybka i zwinna jak wiatr
Jesli nie ucieknie, zgrabnie sie wykreci
Zawsze ma najlepsze checi - o nie nie nie nie
Nawet kto na prosby, zwykle bywa gluchy
Tego ona jednak wzruszy - o nie nie nie nie

Marina, Marina, Marina

Po wielu latach mówia o Marinie
Ze pieknosc jej juz w calym kraju slynie
Choc nie przystepna jest jak zadna inna
To wszyscy chlopcy sie kochaja w niej
Matrony urodzily by Mariana
Na zawsze swe miasteczko opuscila
Niech lepiej jedzie chocby do Paryza
By wreszcie chlopcy chcieli zenic sie

78th Avenue
Composer(s):
T. Hurts; C. Koerts; H. Ziech
Performer(s): Earth & Fire



Life started with you
Seven-eight avenue
The sun was just comin’ through
And brightened the morning dew
When will you ever return again?

Don’t let me down
‘Cause I’m sure, the summer
Will make us feel like new
It’s the only change that we can get together
Just me and you
On seven-eight avenue
On seven-eight avenue
On seven-eight avenue

Love took us away
Every summer night
The chasing crazy world of today
Was getting out of sight
When will you ever return again?

Mi sono innamorato di Marina
una ragazza mora ma carina
ma lei non vuol saperne del mio amore
cosa faro' per conquistarle il cuor
Un girono l'ho incontrata sola sola
il cuotre mi batteva mille all'ora
Quando le dissi che la volevo amare
mi diede un bacio e l'amor sboccio'...

Marina, Marina, Marina
Ti voglio al piu' presto sposar
Marina, Marina, Marina
Ti voglio al piu' presto sposar

O mia bella mora
no non mi lasciare
non mi devi rovinare
oh, no, no, no, no, no...

Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan



Toi qui t'en vas toujours
aux quatre coins du monde

À tes départs j'ai trop souvent
pleuré de ton retour

J'attends que l'ennui dans sa ronde s'arrête
À l'heure où je vais te trouver
À 8 heures 20
Je sais bien tu me reviendras demain oui
À 8 heures 20
Je vais te retrouver enfin demain
Oui, j'attends ton retour en rêvant
Et tous les gens qui comme moi souvent attendent
L'avion, le train qui leur ramènera un être aimé
Ma joie ils doivent la comprendre
Quand l'heure du retour enfin sonnera
À 8 heures 20
Je sais bien tu me reviendras demain oui
À 8 heures 20
Je vais te retrouver enfin demain
Oui, j'attends ton retour en rêvant
Pour ton retour j'attends que l'ennui dans sa ronde
S'arrête à l'heure où tu vas m'embrasser
À 8 heures 20
Je sais bien tu me reviendras demain oui
À 8 heures 20
Je vais te retrouver enfin demain
Oui, j'attends ton retour en rêvant

Bei Tag und Nacht denk ich an dich Marina
du kleine zauberhafte Ballerina
Oh wärst du mein du süsse Caramia
aber du gehst ganz kalt an mir vorbei
Doch eines Tages traf ich sie im Mondschein
ich lud sie ein zu einem Glase Rotwein
und Liebling wie ich frage willst du mein sein
gab sie mir einen Kuss und das hiess ja

Marina, Marina, Marina
dein Chic und dein Charme der gefällt
Marina, Marina, Marina
du bist ja die Schönste der Welt
Wunderbares Mädchen
bald sind wir ein Pärchen
komm und lass mich nie alleine
Oh no, no, no, no, no.........

80 Days

80 Days
Composer(s): John Helmer;
Steve Hogarth; Mark Kelly;
Ian Mosley; Steve Rothery;
Pete Trewavas

Performer(s): Marillion



Staring down from this high window
At the faces in the line
Cold from hours of waiting
How many people can you love?
When you're black and blue with bruises
From collisions on the road
The friction grind of traveling
This is the never ending show
All over the world in eighty days
Head in a blur of information
What kind of a man could live this way
I do what I can
I do OK
But right now
All I want to do is
Get real
If that's allright with you
Woke up last night under the mountains
Driving from Zurich to Milan
I lay there listening to the echos
Thinking of Iceland and Japan
So many smiles So many faces
And my home so far away
I lose some of me in all these places
And I can't help the way I'm changed
All over the world in eighty days
Memories turn like magazine pages
What kind of a man could live this way
I do what I can
But I can't escape it
Right now
All I want to do
Is get real
If that's allright with you
Right now
All I want to do
Somehow
Be myself with you
All over the world in eighty days
Alcohol haze of information
What kind of a man could live this way
As long as I have
And stay the same
Right now
All I want to do is
Get real
If that's allright with you
Right now
All I want to do
Get real
If that's allright with you
For just one night with you
Get real somehow

The whole wide world is wild about Marina
In Italy they call her La Carina
If you see her you never will forget her
And you can tell the world I'm gonna get her

Marina, Marina, Marina
You're lovely, you're sweet, you're divine

I won't rest until you are mine

All my love is for you
How I do adore you
Oh my darling I emplore you
Please listen to my plea

When we go out dancin'
You are so entrancin'
You've got all the others glancin'
I'm filled with jealousy

(The whole wide world is wild about Marina
In Italy they call her La Carina
If you see her you never will forget her

You're lovely, you're sweet, you're divine

I won't rest until you are mine

(All my love is for you

You filled me with desire
Now there's one thing I aspire
To hear you say, "Si, Si"

You're lovely, you're sweet, you're divine

80 Proof Bottle Of Tear Stopper

80 Proof Bottle Of Tear Stopper
Composer(s): Darrell Staedtler
Performer(s): George Strait



You ain't never fell as far
as when you fall in love

Except the fall you take
when you've been loved
and given up

When you have your heart and soul
rubbed into the dirt

An 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper will take away the hurt

Give me an 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper
And I'll start feeling I forgot her
Get a little loose and lose her memory
And I won't think I'm close to dying
Because it dries up all my crying
An 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper always sets me free

It ain't easy losing love although it's turned out bad
All at once you're turning off old feelings you once had
But I found a helping hand right here in my hand
And 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper will help me take 'em out

Give me an 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper
And I'll start feeling I forgot her
Get a little loose and lose her memory
And I won't think I'm close to dying
Because it dries up all my crying
An 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper always sets me free

Marina, Marina, Marina
Je sais qu'il est bon d'être aimé
Mais ne vas, ne vas, ne vas pas
Courir au devant des baisers

Sans être certaine
Que l'on t'aime, que l'on t'aime
Que l'on t'aime autant que toi même
Oh non non non non non non

Si l'amour t'invite
Ma petite, t'invite
Ne réponds pas tout de suite
Oh non non non non non non

L'amour n'est pas toujours ce que l'on pense
Et quand on a le coeur plein d'impatience
On sait très très bien quand ça commence
Mais on oublie comment ça peut finir

Marina, Marina, Petite
Ecoute la voix de ton coeur
Mais ne vas, ne vas pas trop vite
Courir au devant du bonheur

Ne vas pas trop vite, trop vite, trop vite
Effeuiller la marguerite
Oh non non non non non non

Sois tendre et coquette
Coquette, coquette
Mais ne perds jamais la tête
Oh non non non non non non

853-5893
Angela can't make it to the 'phone

If you care to leave
your name and number

She'll give you a ring
when she is home

Everytime I called her I got the message
I listened to the voice coming down the line
I couldn't speak to a tape recording
I re-dialled it a number of times
853-5937 Angela can't make it to the 'phone
If you care to leave your name and number
Please speak clearly after the tone
She'll give you a ring when she get's home
I rang her this morning so very early
The same old message coming down the 'phone
I should go and see if her house is empty
Maybe she's poorly perhaps she's not home
She's in Mill Hill I'm in Bermondsey
It's the end of the earth on the northern line
It makes it so hard for me to see
The one that I love but can never find
I called up a close friend who lives right by her
I got the message he was out too
I was suspicious are they together
I've got to find out that that isn't true

Mi arde enamigis al Marina
tre carma kaj tre gaja brunulino...
Sed amon mian tute si neglektas
kiel konkeri sian koron do?

Sin iam mi renkontis tute sola
rapida igis mia bato kora
Kaj kiam audis si la amdeklaron
si kison al mi donis kun fervor'...

Marina, Marina, Marina
mi volas edzigi al vi
Marina, Marina, Marina,
mi estas frenezo pro vi!
Brunulino kara
ho belajo rara
vi ne devas min forlasi
ho ne, ne, ne, ne, ne...
Brunulino kara
ho belajo rara
vi ne devas min forlasi
ho ne, ne, ne, ne, ne...
