Half-way Down The Street
Half-way Down The Street
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
Just a-halfway down the street is where we used to meet, to do our dreaming
It was just a vacant lot, but what a lovely spot when stars were gleaming
There wasn't too much room there, and roses weren't in bloom there
But it still was mighty sweet, just halfway down the street
By a sign that says For Sale, we wove a fairy tale, but kept it quiet
We were dreaming of the day, we could step right up and say
We'll buy it
Just by way of showing you that fairy tales come true
We'll show you one that all came true
If you'll visit us someday, in our cottage halfway down the street

Když jsem já byl tenkrát kluk
to znely písne líp a sladší mely zvuk
a hráli jsme je tak, co stacil dech a hlas
já tehdy ješte žák - v ten požehnanej cas...
To ryby braly víc, byl veselejší smích
a v léte vetší hic a v zime cistší sníh
i stromy rostly vejš k tem bílejm kaderím
a v sen jsem veril, v nejž kdy sotva uverím
Když jsem já byl tenkrát kluk
to znely písne líp a sladší mely zvuk
a reky byly cistý, tak jak jsem je znal
a zelenejší listí, tráva a tak dál...
A delší bejval den a závaznejší slib
a ruce krásných žen me hladívaly líp
a kde je dneska asfalt, tam byl tehdy jíl
škoda, že jsem, co jsem a kluk, že jsem už byl...
A delší bejval den a závaznejší slib
a ruce krásných žen me hladívaly líp
kam odnes bílej šíf cas moruší a slív,
co bejval drív...
Když jsem já byl tenkrát kluk
to znely písne líp a sladší mely zvuk
a hráli jsme je tak, co stacil dech a hlas
já tehdy ješte žák - v ten požehnanej cas...
A delší bejval den a závaznejší slib
a ruce krásných žen me hladívaly líp
a tam, kde je dnes asfalt, tam byl tehdy jíl
škoda, že jsem, co jsem a kluk, že jsem už byl...

Keith Don't Go (Ode To The Glimmer Twin)
Keith Don't Go (Ode To The Glimmer Twin)
Composer(s): Nils Lofgren
Performer(s): Nils Lofgren
This is a right-away letter, I've got to mail it today
Straight to my main inspirer, says urgent from the USA
Its got this heart inside it, the postage is my soul
Contains a message from millions, says Keith don't go
10000 guitars wailin', but it ain't quite the same
You've got a knack for sailin', and it's stamped with your own brand name
We's all sailors, as captain you must know
You bring a message to millions, says Keith don't go
I said Keith don't go; Don't take my fun
Keith don't go; Keith don't go
We miss our father Jimi, it's hard to breathe with that loss
But I still got you brother, don't nail yourself to a cross
I watch you lead the pack, you put the drive into my soul
You bring a message to millions, says Keith don't go

Watermelon Weather
Watermelon Weather
Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael - Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): Perry Como
and multiple other artists
It's watermelon weather
That summer kind of weather
When people get together and sing
It's the time of year
The stars seem to dance with laughter
And the moon's so big and ripe
It can hardly climb
So, why don't you meander
To your best gal's veranda
And sorta, kinda, hand her the ring?
For it's the sweetheart kissin' season
And all the world's in rhyme
When it's watermelon sweet love tellin' time
This is the time to sing this kind of purdy little ditty
A walkin' along an' singin' a song and clinging to someone purdy
The type of a tune to go with the moon
That's sailin' along a way on high
After strollin' a while, for maybe a mile
Remember to stop and pop the question
If your timin' is right, your future is bright
As bright as a watermelon sky
And then when you found a bench for two
You found your cue to linger
The chance you sought to show what you bought
You happily thought to bring her
To cinch the thing, you give her the ring
You purchased from the five and dime
Take her in your arms and whisper
That you are mine all mine
And with that line to sell, I'm here to tell
That you'll do well in watermelon time
For it's the sweetheart kissin' season
And all the world's in rhyme
When it's watermelon sweet love tellin' time

Svijet, nas je svijet
bio plavo nebo cisto
poslije tebe
nista nece biti isto
Jos trenutak sa mnom budi
drugi dani, drugi ljudi
vec sutra bice tu
nijemi, pored nas.
Dan, nas je dan
bio samo luda igra
poslije tebe
na mom licu prva briga
Ti jos nista nisi rekla
ali suza vec je pekla
i sutra bices ti sama
k'o i ja.
Juce jos, juce jos
nismo znali sta nas ceka
jer je nosila nas rijeka
juce jos, ja i ti
Juce jos, juce jos
kako godine prolete
ti si bila samo dijete
juce jos, juce jos
Juce jos, juce jos
nisam znao sto su suze
al' mi ljubav neko uze
juce jos, ja i ti
Juce jos, juce jos
ali blizila se zima
pramen magle, pramen dima
juce jos, juce jos.....

Wayne Gibson & The Dynamic Sounds;
Tony Kelling & The Graduates; Daniel O'Donnell
Kelly and I meet secretly
We stay out of sight
When we're in each others arms
We know it isn't right
We are so in love
But he loves you too
How can I tell my best friend
That I'm in love with you
He's told me of your sweet caress
And of your lovely eyes
Just how long can we go on
Telling him all these lies
We are so in love
But he loves you too
How can I tell my best friend
That I'm in love with you
Oh, Kelly, please, please tell me
We gotta find a way
Tell me what can we say
Oh, Kelly
He's coming home tomorrow
He's been gone so long
We could get away tonight
To run would be so wrong
We are so in love
But he loves you too
How can I tell my best friend
That I'm in love with you
Oh, Kelly, please, please tell me
We gotta find a way
Tell me what can we say
Oh, Kelly
Oh, Kelly
Oh, Kelly
Oh....... Fade

Alone At Last (Jackie Wilson)
Alone At Last
Composer(s): John Lehman
Performer(s): Jackie Wilson
Alone at last, you and I
Together locked in a sigh
The musics soft, lights are low
The mood is one all lovers know
Oh, my darling at last we are one
The trip to heavens begun
I kiss your fingertips, your eyes, your lips
Oh what exciting moments we share when were
All alone at last
Oh, my darling, at last, you and I
Together locked in a sigh
The music's soft, lights are low
The mood is one all lovers know
Oh, my darling at last we are one
The trip to heavens begun
I kiss your fingertips, your eyes, your lips
Oh what exciting moments we share when were
All alone at last

Gestern war das Leben neu
Der Blick ins erste Licht
der Welt noch ohne Scheu
Die ersten Schritte leicht
An meiner Mutterhand
Die Märchen waren wahr
Am Weg durchs Kinderland
Ja, gestern noch, da war
Die Nacht für uns so blau
Der erste Kuss war frisch
Wie junger Morgentau
Wie Süsse wirklich war
Wir wussten nichts davon
Wir trampen in die Wand
Und ohne Illusion
Gestern war die Welt noch weit
Wir wollten so viel tun
Und waren so bereit
Die Lieder, die wir sangen
Schienen uns so neu
Die Wege, die wir vor uns sahen
Ein Spiel im Mai
Wir hatten noch ein Ziel
Wir wollten nur weit fort
Die Angst war uns noch fremd
Und Heimweh nur ein Wort
Die Fragen und die Träume
Sagten wir dem Wind
Und dachten nicht daran
Wie schnell die Zeit errinnt
Gestern noch war alles leicht
Wir konnten nichts verlieren
Denn es war nichts erreicht
Wir waren nie allein
Das Herz lag vor uns her
Ein bunter Schmetterling
Im Sommersonnenschein
Und jeder neue Tag
War nur ein neues Spiel
Brach dann und wann ein Herz
So fragten wir nicht viel
Wir fingen vieles an
Und glaubten fest daran
Und liessen es dann sein
Ein Spielzeug und nicht mehr
Doch plötzlich sehen wir uns
Erschreckt im Licht
Das Leben scheint vorbei
Wir zahlen mit Verzicht
Und denken still dabei
Das ist der Preis für das
Was gestern war
Gestern war die Welt noch weit
Wir wollten so viel tun
Und waren so bereit
Die Fragen und die Träume
Sagten wir dem Wind
Und dachten nicht daran
Wie schnell die Zeit errinnt

Ken Je Dat Land
Ken Je Dat Land
Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot
Voor een land zonder strijd
Voor een hemel zonder wolken
Voor een nieuwe tijd
Zou ik de stad willen bevolken
Met mensen zonder haat of nijd
Ken je dat land, m'n allerliefste
Met z'n hemel van kristal
Zon op wijde groene velden en iedere avond bal
Waar wij dansen
Ken je dat land, m'n allerliefste
Ken je dat land zo ver van hier
En een leven van goud
Zonder leugens, zonder tranen
En jij die van mij houdt
Zou ik voeren door groene lanen
'k Had m'n huis van glas gebouwd
Ken je dat land, m'n allerliefste
Geluk en vrede voor altijd
Waar we samen kunnen dwalen
Zonder tijd voor tijd, samen dwalen
Ken je dat land, m'n allerliefste
Ken je dat land zo ver van hier
Voor de zoemende zee
Voor een glimlach zonder tanden
Voor een nieuw idee
Daar zou ik jou op bei mij handen
Voor willen dragen met me mee
Ken je dat land, m'n allerliefste
Met dat altijd groene bos
Waar altijd de vogels zingen
En wij slapen op het mos
Zonder wapens, zonder strijden
Zonder zonden, zonder lijden
Ah, zonder haat, zonder nijd
Ken je dat land, m'n allerliefste
Ken je dat land zo ver van hier
Ken je dat land, ken je dat land
Oh, ken je dat land zo ver van hier
Ken je dat land, m'n allerliefste
Ken je dat land
Oh, ken je dat land zo ver van hier
Ken je dat land, m'n allerliefste
Ken je dat land, ken je dat land
Ken je dat land zo ver van hier

They Don't Make 'Em Like That Anymore
They Don't Make 'Em Like That Anymore
Performer(s): Bobby Borchers
They don't make 'em like that anymore
Stopped makin' that model 'bout fourty-four
Skin as soft as kitten's fur
Lord, I remember makin' love to her
Warm July night, cold December dawn
She was the someone you could rely upon
Yes, she's still walking, talking to my memory
I wonder does she ever wonder, oh, what's become of me
'Cause you know, they don't make 'em like her anymore
They still make 'em like me by the score
Fools livin' in a hindsight world
Keepin' the oyster, throwin' away the pearl
Warm July night, cold December dawn
She was the someone you could rely upon
She's still walkin', talkin' to my memory
And I wonder if she ever wonders, oh, what's become of me
But you know, they don't make 'em like that anymore
Stopped makin' that model 'bout fourty-four
Skin as soft as kitten's fur
Lord, I remember makin' love to her
But they don't make 'em like that anymore
Stopped makin' that model 'bout fourty-four
Skin as soft as kitten's fur...

Iemand
Iemand
Performer(s): Ann Christy
Iemand
die met mij wil leven
die om mij iets wil geven
is er niet
Een jongen
waar is er een jongen
die zijn hart aan mij schenken wil
meer dan zomaar een kind
om een ware liefde te vinden
Iemand
die met mij wil leven
die om mij iets wil geven
is er niet
Voor die ene
alleen maar voor die ene
bewaar ik diep dat gevoel
dat groot is mijn doel
Liefde
daar leef ik voor
ik weet
ooit komt iemand die om mij geeft
iemand die voor mij leeft
Die alleen maar voor mij leeft
ja, die komt

Kentucky...
You are the dearest land outside of Heaven to me
Kentucky
I miss your laurels and your redbud trees
When I die...
I want to rest upon your graceful mountains so free
For that is....
Where God will look for me
Kentucky
I miss the old folks singing in the silvery moonlight
Kentucky
I miss the hound dogs chasing coons
I know that....
My Mother, Dad, and sweetheart are waiting for me...
Kentucky
I will be coming soon

They All Start Whistling Mary
Composer(s): R. Leslie - C. Keyes
Performer(s): Debroy Somers & His Band
and multiple other artists
Every night at half past eight
Swinging on her garden gate
Oh, they all start whistling Mary
Round the back there's Mike and Bill
Hanging on her window sill
And they all start whistling Mary
Has she got the boys all dizzy
Giving them the runaround
Love affairs have kept them busy
She's the biggest flirt since Cleopatra
Butchers, bakers, ice men too
Gay young sparks of ninety two
Oh, they all start whistling Mary

Iedereen Wil Je
Performer(s): Ramses Shaffy
Iedereen helpt jou van alles af
Iedereen helpt jou van wieg tot graf
Iedereen helpt jou tot je straf
Iedereen helpt jou, je bent bekaf
Iedereen legt z'n eigen leven op je schouder
Iedereen legt jouw eigen leven naast zich neer
Iedereen maakt jouw eigen jeugd weer een dag ouder
Iedereen maakt jouw eigen vreugde tot verweer
Iedereen houdt jou van alles voor
Iedereen houdt jou in eigen koor
Iedereen houdt jou aan z'n eigen oor
Iedereen houdt jou in z'n eigen spoor
Iedereen zegt altijd eerlijk wat-ie vindt
Iedereen zegt alles heel eerlijk in vertrouwen
Iedereen vlecht je haren want je bent een kind
Iedereen strijkt jouw hemd en broek in eigen vouwen
Iedereen wil jou op eigen grond
Iedereen wil jou mond op mond
Iedereen wil jou als een eigen hond
Iedereen wil dat je niet bestond
Kom, leg je eigen leven nu maar op m'n schouder
Kom, leg je eigen leven nu maar bij mij neer
Kom in m'n armen want het wordt een dagje kouder
Kom, want de anderen krijgen mooi het heen en weer
Iedereen wil jou voor zich alleen
Iedereen wil jou om zich heen
Iedereen wil jou in 't algemeen
Iedereen gooit jou als een dobbelsteen
Kom, leg je leven nu maar op m'n schouder
Kom, leg de buitenwereld nu maar naast je neer
Kom, leg je eigen leven nu maar op je schouder
Kom, leg de buitenwereld nu maar eens een keer naast je neer!

The Entertainer (Oscar Brown)
The Entertainer
Composer(s): Scott Joplin - Oscar Brown Jr.
Performer(s): Oscar Brown Jr.
Were there any who cared a cuss
The day the ragtime piano man died
Were there many who sobbed and sighed
As they carted him on his final ride
Was there much of a damn they gave
About this talented son of a slave
When the brother passed on, another coloured man gone
Without a marker to put on his grave
Were there any who truly knew
What made the black entertainer so blue
The depression he fell into
Over dreams that were never comin' true
Was there much of a damn they gave
About this talented son of a slave
When the brother passed on, another coloured man gone
Without a marker to put on his grave
He played his ragtime tunes in honky-tonk saloons
Piano music that the public loved to hear
Its syncopated beat got them to tappin' their feet
Made all their cares and troubles disappear
He had such happy sounds that as he made the rounds
The entertainer fin'ly saw his talent pay
There for a little while he was livin' in style
Makin' the music of the day
Out of his ragtime themes he built ambitious dreams
In which his music turned to opera on the stage
A mighty work of art he felt with all his heart
Ragtime music was the classic of its age
But then a change of taste laid all his dreams to waste
The fickle punblic found itself another craze
There for a little bit he was a pretty big hit
But it was just a passin' phase
Were there any that felt the pain
That drove the black entertainer insane
A frustration that racked his brain
Just to think all that work had been in vain
Was there much of a damn they gave
About this talented son of a slave
When the brother passed on, anotrher nigger just gone
Without a marker to put on his grave
Born ahead of his time, died while yet in his prime
From a chronic condition caused by the lack of recognition
Born ahead of his time, died while yet in his prime
Beaten by an ambition for which he couldn't raise a dime
Born in eighteen-sixty-eight, died in nineteen-seventeen
Scott Joplin, whose music won a Motion Picture Academy Award
Fifty-six years after he was layed in an unmarked grave
Ahead of his time, died while yet in his prime
Beaten by an ambition for which he couldn't raise a dime
Where were all the mans, he was an entertainer
Multitude of fans, what an entertainer
Those who clapped their hands to hear the entertainer
Play the ragtime dance
Tell me where were they, he was an entertainer
When he passed away, oh, what an entertainer
There for a while he was livin' in style
Makin' the music of the day
Where were all the mans, he was an entertainer
Multitude of fans, oh, what an entertainer
Those who clapped their hands to hear the entertainer
Play the ragtime dance
Tell me where were they, he was an entertainer
When he passed away, oh, what an entertainer
There for a bit he was really a hit
But it was... what can I say

Idylle Philoménale
Idylle Philoménale
Composer(s): René Rivedoux
Performer(s): Yves Montand
Quand j'ai croisé la martine
C'était par un beau matin
J'allais ach'ter des bottines
Et lui trouvais très beau teint
Nous partîmes en limousine
Visiter le Limousin
Après comme on le devine
Ma p'tite femme elle devint
Ma concierge qui est amène
Tous les matins m'serr' la main
Mêm' qu'au moment des étrennes
Dans ses bras elle m'étreint
Cela m'attire des scènes
Que je suppose à dessein
Pour ne pas qu'ma Philomène
Un beau jour ne m'file aux mains
Son manteau de ballerine
Gentiment lui bat les reins
Sa robe de percaline
Lui vient de son père câlin
Pendant que je me surmène
Dans un travail surhumain
Elle arpente l'av'nue du Maine
En t'nant son fichu d'une main
Comm' j'ai un chien et une chienne
Qui me vienn'nt d'un autrichien
Ma p'tit femm' qui est vosgienne
Me dit: "Pour él'ver vos chiens
Vous aurez beaucoup de peine
Car au pays transalpin
J'ai connu un' helvétienne
Qu'a jamais pu él'ver l'sien"
Et voilà!

German Title: Kleine Treue Nachtigall
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David
Performer(s): Lou Johnson
and various other artists
(Originally performed by: Jerry Butler - 1964)
Spread your wings for New Orleans
Kentucky bluebird, fly away
And take a message to Martha, message to Martha
She sings each night in some café
In her search to find wealth and fame
I hear Martha has gone and changed her name
It's a year since she was here
Kentucky bluebird, fly away
And take a message to Martha, message to Martha
Tell her I love her more each day
As the train pulled out down the track
Martha promised she'd soon be coming back
Oh, tell her how my heart just breaks in two
Since she journeyed far
And even though her dreams of fame fell through
To me she will always be a star
Spread your wings for New Orleans
Kentucky bluebird, fly away
And take a message to Martha, message to Martha
Tell her to start for home today
When you find her please let her know
Rich or poor, I will always love her so
Fly away, Kentucky bluebird
Fly away, Kentucky bluebird
Fly away, fly away, fly away.........Fade
