Parce Que


Parce Que
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Gaby Wagenheim
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour; Ilona Knopfler



Parce que t'as les yeux bleus
Que tes cheveux s'amusent à défier le soleil
Par leur éclat de feu

Parce que tu as vingt ans
Que tu croques la vie comme en un fruit vermeil
Que l'on cueille en riant

Tu te crois tout permis et n'en fait qu'à ta tête
Désolée un instant prête à recommencer
Tu joues avec mon cœur comme un enfant gâté
Qui réclame un joujou pour le réduire en miettes

Parce que j'ai trop d'amour
Tu viens voler mes nuits du fond de mon sommeil
Et fais pleurer mes jours

Mais prends garde, chérie, je ne réponds de rien
Si ma raison s'égare et si je perds patience
Je peux d'un trait rayer nos cœurs d'une existence
Dont tu es le seul but et l'unique lien

Parce que je n'ai que toi
Le cœur est mon seul maître et maître de mon cœur
L'amour nous fait la loi

Parce que tu vis en moi
Et que rien ne remplace les instants de bonheur
Que je prends dans tes bras

Je ne me soucierai ni de Dieu, ni des hommes
Je suis prêt à mourir si tu mourrais un jour
Car la mort n'est qu'un jeu comparée à l'amour
Et la vie n'est plus rien sans l'amour qu'elle nous donne

Parce que je suis au seuil
D'un amour éternel je voudrais que mon cœur
Ne portât pas le deuil

Parce que
Parce que
Parce que

Sidewalks Of New York


Sidewalks Of New York
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Mel Tormé



East Side, West Side, all around the town
The kids sang "ring around rosie", "London Bridge is falling down"
Boys and girls together, me and Mamie O'Rourke
We tripped the light fantastic on the sidewalks of New York

East Side, West Side, all around the town
Sweet Mamie grew up and bough herself a sweet little Alice-blue gown
All the fellas dug her, you should have heard them squark
When I escorted Mamie round the sidewalks of New York

East Side, West Side, riding through the parks
We started swinging at Jilly's then we split to P.J.Clark's
On to Chuck's Composite, then a drink at The Stork
We won't get home until morning 'cause we're going to take a walk
On the sidewalks of New York

Paratodos


Paratodos
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque; Laurent Korcia



O meu pai era paulista
Meu avô, pernambucano
O meu bisavô, mineiro
Meu tataravô, baiano
Meu maestro soberano
Foi Antônio Brasileiro

Foi Antônio Brasileiro
Quem soprou esta toada
Que cobri de redondilhas
Pra seguir minha jornada
E com a vista enevoada
Ver o inferno e maravilhas

Nessas tortuosas trilhas
A viola me redime
Creia, ilustre cavalheiro
Contra fel, moléstia, crime
Use Dorival Caymmi
Vá de Jackson do Pandeiro

Vi cidades, vi dinheiro
Bandoleiros, vi hospícios
Moças feito passarinho
Avoando de edifícios
Fume Ari, cheire Vinícius
Beba Nelson Cavaquinho

Para um coração mesquinho
Contra a solidão agreste
Luiz Gonzaga é tiro certo
Pixinguinha é inconteste
Tome Noel, Cartola, Orestes
Caetano e João Gilberto

Viva Erasmo, Ben, Roberto
Gil e Hermeto, palmas para
Todos os instrumentistas
Salve Edu, Bituca, Nara
Gal, Bethania, Rita, Clara
Evoé, jovens a vista

O meu pai era paulista
Meu avô pernambucano
O meu bisavô, mineiro
Meu tataravô baiano
Vou na estrada há muitos anos
Sou um artista brasileiro

Die Ganze Welt Braucht Liebe


Die Ganze Welt Braucht Liebe Composer(s): Günther Leopold - Kurt Werner First performance by: Liane Augustin - 1958



Die ganze Welt braucht Liebe, wer ist schon gern allein
Ein kleines bißchen Liebe, soll's bei mir anders sein

Im großen Weltgetriebe hat selbst der kleinste Stein
Ein kleines zweites Sternchen, soll's bei mir anders sein?
Nein

Auch mein Herz hat Sehnsucht und braucht ein zweites Herz
Das mich zu versteh'n sucht in Freuden, doch auch im Schmerz

Die Welt wär' kalt und trübe, küßt sie kein Sonnenschein
Und jedes Herz braucht Liebe, soll's bei mir anders sein?
Nein 's kann gar nicht anders sein

Die Wange will umschmeichelt sein, der Mund braucht Zärtlichkeit
Die Hand, sie will gestreichelt sein, so ist es heut' und alle Zeit

Die ganze Welt braucht Liebe

Auch mein Herz hat Sehnsucht und braucht ein zweites Herz
Das mich zu versteh'n sucht in Freuden, doch auch im Schmerz

Die Welt wär' kalt und trübe, küßt sie kein Sonnenschein
Und jedes Herz braucht Liebe, soll's bei mir anders sein?
Nein 's kann gar nicht anders sein

Paranoid (Grand Funk Railroad)


Paranoid
Composer(s): Mark Farner
Performer(s): Grand Funk Railroad



Did you ever have that feeling in your life
that someone was watching you?
He don't have no reason, that's right
But, still he's there watching you
Someone is waiting just outside the door, to take you away
Everybody knows just what he's there for, to take you away

But, you don't know why he's been waiting

But, you don't know why he's been waiting
Spent too much time anticipating
Spent too much time anticipating

Did you ever think it could be you, that's just outside the door?

There's just one way to find out if it's true
So, what you waiting for?
Oh, get yourself together now, my friend, and step outside the pad
If there's no one waiting for you there, my friend, I think you should be glad

But, who wasn't there that you should look out for?

But, who wasn't there that you should look out for?
Get back inside your wall, and shut the door
Get back inside your wall, and shut the door

You don't have nobody, don't need nobody, can't love nobody

You're better off by yourself
You ain't feelin' too bad, you're driving me mad, and say you're bad
You're better off by yourself

You don't have nobody, don't need nobody, can't love nobody

You're better off by yourself
You ain't feelin' too bad, you're driving me mad, and say you're bad
You're better off by yourself

Ahhhhh ...

(Skateboard with me, why don't you skateboard me?) Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me ... (Skateboard with me, why don't you skateboard me?) Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me ... (Skateboard with me, why don't you skateboard me?) Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me ... (Skateboard with me, why don't you skateboard me?) Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me ...

Paranoid (Black Sabbath)


Paranoid
Composer(s): Geezer Butler;
Tony Iommi; Ozzy Osbourne; Bill Ward
Performer(s): Black Sabbath



Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time

All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah

I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I can not feel and love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life, I wish I could but (it's/I'm) too late

Für Zwei Groschen Musik


Für Zwei Groschen Musik
First performance by: Margot Hielscher - 1958



Für zwei Groschen Musik, für zwei Groschen Musik
Und der Alltag versinkt wenn froh Musik erklingt
Für zwei Groschen Musik, für zwei Groschen Musik
Und für so wenig Geld gehört euch eine Welt

Wollt ihr leise Musik? Wollt ihr heiße Musik?
Oder findet ihr Moll einfach wundervoll?
Für zwei Groschen Musik, für zwei Groschen Musik
Und für so wenig Geld gehört euch eine Welt

Für zwei Groschen Musik, für zwei Groschen Musik
Und der Alltag versinkt wenn froh Musik erklingt
Für zwei Groschen Musik, für zwei Groschen Musik
Und für so wenig Geld gehört euch eine Welt

Darf es Dixiland sein, oder Lieder vom Rhein?
Oder liebt irgendwer Verdi's Opern mehr?
Für zwei Groschen Musik, für zwei Groschen Musik
Und für so wenig Geld gehört euch eine Welt

Für zwei Groschen Musik, für zwei Groschen Musik

Für zwei Groschen Musik, für zwei Groschen Musik
Und für so wenig Geld gehört euch eine Welt

Hier der Mann am Klavier, hier der Marsch, so sind wir
Hier der Förster der singt wenn die Heimatglocke klingt
Für zwei Groschen Musik, für zwei Groschen Musik
Und für so wenig Geld gehört euch eine Welt

Paranoia Blues


Paranoia Blues
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Paul Simon



I got some so-called friends
They'll smile right to my face
Oh, when my back is turned
They'd like to stick it to me
Yes they would
Oh no no, oh no no
There's only one thing I need to know
Whose side are you on?

I fly into J.F.K.
My heart goes boom boom boom
I know that customs man
He's going to take me
To that little room
Oh no no
Oh no, no
There's only one thing I need to know
Whose side are you on, whose side are you on?

I got the paranoia blues
Fnom knockin' around in New York City
Where they roll you for a nickel
And they stick you for the extra dime
Anyway you choose
You're bound to lose in New York City
Oh, I just got out in the nick of time
Well, I just got out in the nick of time

Once I was down in Chinatown
I was eating some Lin's Chow Fon
I happened to turn around
And when I looked I see
My Chow Fon's gone
Oh no, no
Oh no, no
There's only one thing I need to know
Whose side are you on, whose side are you on?
Well, there's only one thing I need to know
Whose side, whose side, whose side?

Sidewalk Blues


Sidewalk Blues
Composer(s): Walter Melrose; Jelly Roll Morton
Performer(s): Jelly Roll Morton
and multiple other artists



I got the blues and I sure have got 'em bad
Meanest old blues that I ever, ever had
My mind is weary, and ev'rything is wrong
Ev'ry day seems just nine years long
That's just why I sing and cry this mournful song

When I arise in the morning for the day
Heartbreakin' blues say good morning right away
They haunt me just like a shadow haunts a tree
Even taste 'em in my coffee
That's just why I sing and cry this mournful song

My baby's gone, and I got the blues
It sure is awful to be lonsesome like me
Worried, weary up in a tree
That's why you can hear me say, night and day

"Where can my baby be?"
I roam the streets ev'ry where, look here and there
Wond'ring why she gave me the air
Good Lawd, I've got the sidewalk blues

My baby's gone, and I got the blues
She went away on the sly, didn't say why
Never even kissed me goodbye
That's why you can hear me say, night and day

"Who took my woman away?"
I roam the streets like a tramp, feet in a cramp
Searching for my two timin' vamp
Good Lawd, I've got the sidewalk blues

My baby's gone, and I got the blues
She flew away like a crow, why, I don't know
Vanished like a migratin' bo'
That's why you can hear me say, night and day

"What will become of me?"
If I could find an old boat, one that would float
I'd baptize my blues makin' goat
Good Lawd, I've got the sidewalk blues

Paralyzed


Paralyzed
Composer(s): Otis Blackwell; Elvis Presley
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



When you looked into my eyes
I stood there like I was hyp-notised
You sent a feeling to my spine
A feeling warm and smooth and fine
But all I could do were stand there paralyzed
When we kissed, ooh what a thrill
You took my hand and, ooh baby, what a chill
I felt like grabbin' you real tight
Squeeze and squeeze with all my might
But all I could do were stand there paralyzed

Oh yeah lucky me, I’m singing ev'ry day
Ever since that day you came my way
You made my life for me just one big happy game
I'm gay ev'ry morning
At night I’m still the same
Do you remember that wonderful time
You held my hand and swore that you'll be mine
In front of preacher you said
"I do" I couldn't say a word for thinking of you
All I could do was stand there paralyzed

Ma Petite Chatte


Ma Petite Chatte
Composer(s): André Dohet
First performance by: Fud Leclerc - 1958



J'étais dans un jour de cafard
ça peut vous arriver demain
J'allais dans les rues au hasard
Sans but et ne pensant à rien

Quand je l'aperçus, elle s'avançait vers moi
C'est à n'pas y croire mais voilà..
Elle avait tous les atouts dans son jeu
Et du chic jusqu'au bout des doigts
Des arguments en veux-tu, en voila
Qui m'mettaient dans tous mes états
Elle avait un drôle de p'tit air
De ne pas en avoir l'air
Elle me souriait sûre de son p'tit effet
Je ne croyais pas qu'il pouvait y avoir
Sur la terre des joujoux comme ça
C'était in rêve de voir cette petite chatte-la
Pas plus haute que ça, avec des yeux frippons
Comme on te dit dans les chansons
Et tout ce qu'il faut pour plaire aux garçons

Et ce fut un roman d'amour
Une histoire qui finit bien
Et comme cela se fait boujours
Je l'ai épousée un beau matin

Et le soir venu, je n'ose pas y penser
C'est à n'pas y croire, mais sachez....

Qu'elle avait tous les atouts dans son jeu
Et du chic jusqu'au bout des doigts
En moins de temps qu'il ne faut pour le dire
Elle me mit dans tous mes états
Elle avait un drôle de p'tit air
De ne pas en avoir l'air
Elle me souriait sûre de son p'tit effet
Je ne croyais pas qu'il pouvait y avoir
Sur la terre des joujoux comme ça
C'était un rêve de voir cette petite chatte-là
Blottie dans mes bras aves des yeux fripons
Comme on le dit dans les chansons
Et tout ce qu'il faut pour plaire aux garçons
Et tout ce qui peut vous faire perdre la raison
Et tout ce qu'on n'peut pas dire en chansons

Paraíso Ahora


Paraíso Ahora
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero



Tu cabeza está llena de bicicletas blancas
tu corazón un tren desbocado y oscuro
Por tus venas galopan caballos alarmados.
Amas el sol y el riesgo, el fuego y el futuro

Islas hay en el tiempo donde vivir querrías
y pueblos donde son las tareas comunes
En la escuela se aprende a manejar cometas
y a vivir que es lo mismo lo mío que lo tuyo

Y sales a la calle y la ciudad te niega
y dos y dos son cuatro y mañana hace frío
y hay una chimenea debajo de tu cama
y alguien dictando normas dentro de tu bolsillo

Y en la pared escribes tu granada de sueños
tu estallido de nuevos horizontes auroras
Y tu imaginación contra la gris costumbre
pide la vida es nuestra, paraíso ahora

See the sideshow in town for only fifty cents

There's got to be no sadder show to see

So many tears

See the girl who's collected broken hearts for souvenirs
It's more exciting than a one man band
The saddest little show in all the land

So let the sideshow begin
Hurry, hurry
Hurry, hurry, step right on in
Can't afford to pass it by
Guaranteed to make you cry

Let the sideshow begin
Hurry, hurry, step right on in

Jeg Rev Et Blad Ud Af Min Dagbog


Jeg Rev Et Blad Ud Af Min Dagbog
First performance by: Raquel Rastenni - 1958



Dengang du gik i vrede, så fortrød jeg
Fejlen var min - fornuften, tja... den snød mig
Det, vi havde sammen, var smukt og stort
Ved du, hvad jeg nu i dag har gjort?

Jeg rev et blad ud af min dagbog
Hvert lille ord har jeg fortrudt, du kære
Hvad nytter det, at jeg er bagklog
Hvis du syn's, alt skal være slut?

Prøv på at tilgi' mig, om også det er svært
Så vil jeg love dig, det aldrig hænder mere

Jeg rev et blad ud af min dagbog
Gør du li'sådan, min ven

Hader du mig, forsåvidt er der grund nok
Min jalousi, der var jeg mer end ond nok
Prøv dog på at tilgi', at jeg var slem
Og hvis du er stor nok, ja så glem

Jeg rev et blad ud af min dagbog
Hvert lille ord har jeg fortrudt, du kære
Hvad nytter det, at jeg er bagklog
Hvis du syn's, alt skal være slut?

Prøv på at tilgi' mig, om også det er svært
Så vil jeg love dig, det aldrig hænder mere

Jeg rev et blad ud af min dagbog
Gør du li'sådan, min ven
Gør du li'sådan, min ven

Side By Side (Nick Lucas)


Side By Side
Composer(s): Harry MacGregor Woods
Performer(s): Nick Lucas
and multiple other artists



See that sun in the morning
Peeking over the hill?
I'll bet you're sure it always has and sure it always will
That's how I feel about someone
How somebody feels about me
We're sure we love each other
That's the way we'll always be

Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money
Maybe we're ragged and funny
But we'll travel along
Singing a song
Side by side

Don't know what's comin' tomorrow
Maybe it's trouble and sorrow
But we'll travel the road
Sharing our load
Side by side

Through all kinds of weather
What if the sky should fall?
Just as long as we're together
It doesn't matter at all
When they've all had their quarrels and parted

We'll be the same as we started
Just a-traveling along
Singing a song
Side by side

We're all hunting for something
Something we don't know what
'Cause none of us are satisfied with things we know we've got
We all forget about moonlight
As soon as we've given our vow
But we'd all be so happy if we'd start and sing right now

Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money
Maybe we're ragged and funny
But we'll travel along
Singing a song
Side by side

Don't know what's comin' tomorrow
Maybe it's trouble and sorrow
But we'll travel the road
Sharing our load
Side by side

Paradise By The Dashboard Light


Paradise By The Dashboard Light
Composer(s): Jim Steinman
Performer(s): Meat Loaf



I. Paradise

Boy:
I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night

And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing the the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! Hold on tight!
C'mon! Hold on tight!
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light

Girl:
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed

Ain't no doubt about it
Baby got to go and shout it
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed

Boy:
'Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed

Baby doncha hear my heart
You got it drowning out the radio
I've been wating so long
For you to come along and have some fun

And I gotta let ya know
No you're never gonna regret it
So open up your eyes I got a big surprise
It'll feel all right
Well I wanna make your motor run

And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing the the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! Hold on tight!
C'mon! Hold on tight!

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Paradise by the dashboard light

You got to do what you can
And let Mother Naure do the rest
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
and we were barely

we're gonna go all the way tongiht
we're gonna go all the way
and tonight the night....

Radio Broadcast:
Ok here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here
two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth
there's the wind-up, and there it is, a line shot up the middle, look at him go
This boy can really fly!
He's rounding first and really turning it on now, he's not letting up at all
he's gonna try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center
and here comes the throw, and what a throw!
He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out!
No, wait, safe - safe at second base, this kid really makes things happen out there
Batter steps up to the plate here's the pitch - he's going, and what a jump he's got
he's trying for third, here's the throw, its in the dirt - safe at third!
Holy cow, stolen base!
He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost daring him to try and pick him off
The pitcher glances over, winds up, and it bunted, bunted down the third base line
the suicide squeeze is on!
Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close, here's the throw
here's the play at the plate, holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!

Let me sleep on it!!

Girl:
Will you love me forever?


III. Praying for the End of Time

Boy:
I couldn't take it any longer
Lord I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me
Like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my God and on my mother's grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore that I would love you to the end of time!

So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!!!

Boy:
It was long ago and it was far away
And it was so much better than it is today

Girl:
It never felt so good
It never felt so right
And we were glowing like
A metal on the edge of a knife

Side By Side (Earth, Wind & Fire)


Side By Side
Composer(s): Maurice White; Wayne Vaughn; Wanda Vaughn
Performer(s): Earth, Wind & Fire



One year ago, love was touch and go
Time made me see, solved the mystery
Taught me that love and time
Will change your mind and make it right
Bring your darkness to the light
My hearts sings in the night
My love I bring to you

With this lovin' I dedicate to you
For believing in me, I will make you mine
Side by side, for love we waited
Side by side, we're dedicated
Side by side, now we can make it
Side by side, we gonna shake it on down
Get down, get down, get down, get down, tonight

I can hardly wait, to pick you up at eight
For this rendezvous, candlelight and you
It took ma a long time, to see it clear
That love will last, for many years
Dreams can come true
So I bring my heart to you

With this lovin' I dedicate to you
For believing in me, I will make you mine
Side by side, for love we waited
Side by side, we're dedicated
Side by side, now we can make it
Side by side, we gonna shake it on down
Get down, get down, get down, get down, tonight

We finally found our sunny day
And your love lights up the way
So, I thank you today, for
You believed in me
