Wait For Me


Wait For Me Composer(s): Daryl Hall Performer(s): Hall & Oates



Midnight hour almost over Time is running out for the magic pair I know you gave the best that you have But one more chance couldn't be all that hard to bear Wait for me please Wait for me Alright, I guess that's more than I should ask Wait for me please Wait for me Although I know the light is fading fast You could go either way Is it easier to stay I wonder what you'll do when your chance rolls around But you gotta know how much I want to keep you When I'm away I'm afraid it will all fall down Love is what it does and ours is doing nothing But all the time we spent It must be good for something Please forgive all the disturbance I'm creating But you gotta lot to learn if you think that I'm not waiting for you

À Santiago


À Santiago
((Dutch Version: Carnaval Naar Santiago (by Herman van Veen) - 1969))
Composer(s): Jean Ferrat
First release by: Jean Ferrat - 1967



À Santiago de Cuba
À Santiago de Cuba

Le carnaval nous entraîne
Quatre nuits sans perdre haleine
L'orgue oriental se déchaîne
Et moi qui danse comme un troène

À Santiago de Cuba

Le rhum qui coule du tonnerre
La serviette en bandoulière
J'avais l'air de quoi ma mère
Moi moi qui danse comme une soupière

C'était dur
À Santiago de Cuba

Un sombrero fantastique
Un cigare astronomique
La musique la musique
Et moi qui danse comme une barrique

C'était très dur
À Santiago de Cuba

Les petits seins des métisses
Du miel et du pain d'épice
Je côtoie des précipices
Et moi qui danse comme une saucisse

Allez mon vieux, faut tenir, hein
À Santiago de Cuba

Carnaval Naar Santiago


Carnaval Naar Santiago ((Adapted from: À Santiago (Jean Ferrat) - 1967)) Composer(s): Jean Ferrat - R. Smit - Arno Guldemond Performer(s): Herman van Veen - 1969



Het carnaval is reusachtig
vol met kleuren, klanken, prachtig
mensenmassa's hossen jachtig
en ik, ik dans als een toerist

Meisjes dansen opgetogen
zwarte haren, schitterogen
zoeken dingen die niet mogen
en ik, ik dans als een pastoor

De rum die stroomt overvloedig
maakt de bange minnaars spoedig
opgewekt en doldwaas moedig
en ik, ik dans als een kanon

Wait A While


Wait A While Composer(s): Jon Lord; Sam Brown Performer(s): Deep Purple; and various other artists



Wait before you go So you will know, what I am feeling as you leave I understand, your need for some time Some solitude Wait a while, before you go You should know by now, my heart belongs to you I know that you must leave And I can see, that it's not easy for you, no Buy I'll be here and know that my soul Is always near you Wait a while before you go You should know by now I love you and so I will wait a while Shake the vow and the leaves start falling Spill the wine and our dreams come tumbling down All around The sand of time is slipping through my fingers You and I, still the memories linger on And on Now I know that if I can only let go And wait a while, you'll be here again with me The same old friends we've always been Wait a while before you go You should know by now I love you and so I will wait a while Wait a while Wait a while For you

A Salty Dog


A Salty Dog
((Italian Versions: Il Marinaio (by Massimo Ranieri) - 1970; Un Marinaio (by The Beans)
Un Angelo In Più (by Oro) - 1995; Nel Così Blu (by Zucchero) - 2006))
Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid
First release by: Procol Harum - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists



'All hands on deck, we've run afloat!' I heard the captain cry
'Explore the ship, replace the cook: let no one leave alive!'
Across the straits, around the Horn: how far can sailors fly?
A twisted path, our tortured course, and no one left alive

We sailed for parts unknown to man, where ships come home to die
No lofty peak, nor fortress bold, could match our captain's eye
Upon the seventh seasick day we made our port of call
A sand so white, and sea so blue, no mortal place at all

We fired the gun, and burnt the mast, and rowed from ship to shore
The captain cried, we sailors wept: our tears were tears of joy
Now many moons and many Junes have passed since we made land
A salty dog, this seaman's log: your witness my own hand

Il Marinaio


Il Marinaio
((aka Un Marinaio (by The Beans); Un Angelo In Più (by Oro) - 1995; Nel Così Blu (by Zucchero) - 2006))
((Adapted from: A Salty Dog (by Procol Harum) - 1969))
Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid - Mogol
Performer(s): Massimo Ranieri - 1970



Seduto qui
io guardo il mar
sono quasi già le sei
la nave è là
in fondo al mar
lentamente se ne va...

Il sole tarda
il vento è freddo
e frusta gli occhi miei
i miei ricordi
il viso tuo
non mi ha lasciato mai

Un marinaio vicino a me
anche lui guarda il mar
a cosa pensa
io non lo so
c'è sale negli occhi suoi...

Il suo fantasma
chissà chi è
certamente non sei tu!
Il vento è freddo
anche per lui
ma lui non piange più...

Un marinaio vicino a me
anche lui guarda il mar
a cosa pensa
io non lo so
c'è sale negli occhi suoi...

Il suo fantasma
chissà chi è
certamente non sei tu!
Il vento è freddo
anche per lui
ma lui non piange più...

Un Angelo In Più


Un Angelo In Più
((aka Il Marinaio (by Massimo Ranieri) - 1970; Un Marinaio (by The Beans); Nel Così Blu (by Zucchero) - 2006))
((Adapted from: A Salty Dog (by Procol Harum) - 1969))
Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid - Alibani
Performer(s): Oro - 1995



Come sarà amore mio
La tua vita senza me
Non basterà la compagnia
Dei miei ricordi in te
Se me ne andrò dai giorni tuoi
E come un angelo in più
Io pregherò per te se vuoi
Da una casa in mezzo al blu
Come sarà amore mio
La tua vita senza me
Aspetterai che ci sia anch’io
Poi mangerai da te
Lavorerai ti piegherai
Dietro una scrivania
Ma non potrai buttarti via
Perché amore eterno è
E piangerai davanti a un film
Che parlerà di noi
Di me di tedi quelli che
Non si perderanno mai
E se lassù fra il cielo e Dio
C’è un’eterna casa blu
Vivrà lassù amore mio
Il tuo angelo in più
Come sarà amore mio
La tua vita senza me

You're looking nervous at the dealer Money goes like sand Slipping through your hands You're leaving everything behind you Wave it all goodbye I can hear you cry Wait - don't think about it Wait - it's never too late Wait - don't worry 'bout it Wait - leave it all to fate Wait Oh no this game is like a nightmare There can be no doubt Luck has dealt me out I'm only searching for the right time Money on the line I can hear you cry

Nel Così Blu


Nel Così Blu
((aka Il Marinaio (by Massimo Ranieri) - 1970; Un Marinaio (by The Beans); Un Angelo In Più (by Oro) - 1995))
((Adapted from: A Salty Dog (by Procol Harum) - 1969))
Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid - Pasquale Panella - Zucchero
Performer(s): Zucchero - 2006



In testa ho
La frase che
Incendia un bosco in testa a me
La frase che
Ho in testa è

"E allora la baciai"
E immaginai
Cobalto il cielo
D'amore immenso intorno a lei
E me ne andai
E navigai
E non lo so se più tornai
In testa ho
La frase che
Fa la tempesta in testa a me
E se la neve
Non fa rumore

"Allora lei mi amò"
Di vento e dune
Di notti intere
E bianche in mare insieme a lei
E me ne andai
Nel così blu
E non lo so se più tornai
In testa ho
La frase che
Lei disse, resta in testa a me
E mi estasiai
E dissi anch'io

"Per sempre amore mio"
Abbiamo insieme
Ingoiato il sole
Dipinto d'infinito il mare
E me ne andai
E navigai
E non lo so se più tornai

A Sailor's Not A Sailor ('Til A Sailor's Been Tattooed)
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Ethel Merman & Mitzi Gaynor



Merman: I'm an old salt
Gaynor: I'm a young salt
Both: In the Navy we've been working very hard
Merman: I was part of the Flotilla with Dewey in Manila
Gaynor: I'm a new recruit at the Brooklyn Navy yard

Both: Tonight we're on a spree and feeling flow'ry
Both: We've got a date with gals and drink and food
Gaynor: Across the Brooklyn Bridge and to the Bow'ry
Merman: And I'm gonna get the kid tattooed
Gaynor: Tattooed?
Merman: Tattooed!
Both: A sailor's not a sailor 'til a sailor's been tattooed

Merman:
Here's an anchor from a tanker
That I sailed upon when first I went to sea
Here's another of my mother
Takes me back to when I sat upon her knee
Here's a crimson heart with a Cupid's dart
Here's a Battle Cruiser and when I sit down
On that, too
There's a tattoo
Of my home town

Gaynor: To the Bow'ry
Merman: To the Bow'ry
Gaynor: 'Cross the Brooklyn Bridge and I'm just in the mood

Merman:
He'll be filled with diff'rent mixtures
And covered up with pictures

Gaynor:
I can't wait to be, 't will be great to be tattooed

Merman: Tattooed?
Gaynor: Tattooed!
Both: A sailor's not a sailor 'til a sailor's been tattooed

A Sad Song


A Sad Song Performer(s): Alvin Lee



The love that you gave me - has gone with the rain The joy that just filled me - has turned into pain My face in the mirror - reminds me of you It's the one that you lied to - when you said you'd be true The tears in my eyes - are all that you'll find The scars on my face - just deepen my mind

A Russian Love Song


A Russian Love Song Composer(s): Spike Milligan - Stephens Performer(s): The Goons; Spike Milligan



There were two Russian lovers walking hand in hand On the banks of a river in a snow covered land. A boy and a girl with starlight in their eyes They kiss and caress as he tenderly sighs Oh! Oh! Oh! Comrade! All right comrade that's enough! We meet each night by the silvery light of our dear old fashioned Russian satellite moon It shines so bright -- turns Americans white at the sight of our dear old fashioned Russian satelite moon And over here in England I saw it at my flat I ran into the cellar And put on my old ARP hat Don't be silly! Comrades! Just dance with joy, while we are all still alive by the light of our glorious Russian satelite moon Gentleman! Look up in the skies -- I can't believe my eyes! It's that dear old fashioned Russian satelite moon! What, what, where? Hand me get my gun -- we're going to have some fun (bang) Oh I missed that naughty Russian satellite moon I'll have to run you in there for a very legal reason Shooting at Russian moons when they are out of season Stand aside -- my reply to that is this rocket driven hat England's answer to that Russian satellite moon...The President. Gentleman the President of the har-har-har of the har-har-har There is a Russian satelite moon over Arkansas, Mr President Thank heaven it is not over America Don't worry, we are prepared for this Mr Presley: hit 'em heavy Now listen here! I'll make it clear just what we intend to do I'm gonna rock around that Russian satelite moon I'm gonna rock around that Russian satellite moon (mumbles - fades - to replaced by a Russian) That's right, comrade Elvis Go on, shake your hips while we listen to the blips Of our glorious Russian satellite moon (Various strange words getting faster until the Russian explodes!)

Roll along Wagon Train Rollin' over prairie where there ain't no grass Rollin' over mountain where there ain't no pass Sittin' on a board, eyein' the weather Prayin' to the Lord, we stay together Side by side on the Wagon Train Wagon Train, roll along Pickin' up a passenger in every town Wonderin' if he's ever gonna shoot you down Lookin' for a pal, ain't it a pity Lookin' for a gal, needn't be pretty If she'll ride on the Wagon Train Wagons ho! Gotta keep em on the run Time to go and follow the sun Roll along Wagon Train Never had a cabin near a general store Only had a wagon and a forty-four Sittin' on a board, eyein' the weather Prayin' to the Lord, we stay together Side by side on the Wagon Train

A Runner With The Pack


A Runner With The Pack
Composer(s): Pete Bellotte
Performer(s): Donna Summer



He’s got a second side he’s got sixth sense
He got everything
He got what it takes
He got what it makes to be everything
Seems to know all there is to know
I took him there
He steals the show
He’s so astute he’s so acute he’s gold sure he is
He’s eloquent he’s intelligent and benevolent
He’s the epitome of ability with his expertise
He’s versatile with a lot of style
He’d mess my heart every time he’d smile
So unpretentious a warm and gentle soul

A runner with the pack, no he’s not like that
A runner with the pack, no he’s not like that
Cause he’s inventive, attentive, protective, selective
Perceptive, receptive, affective, reflective
A runner with the pack, no he’d never do that

He got tolerance he got confidence he’s significant
And he’s a connoisseur and a social stir he’s magnificent
So fair and square he reciprocates
And every way he stimulates
His quality of voracity is great

A runner with the pack, no he’s not like that
A runner with the pack, no he’s not like that
Cause he’s inventive, attentive, protective, selective
Perceptive, receptive, effective, reflective
(you know the he’s)
A runner with the pack, no he’d never do that
