Windows
Composer(s): Kerry Livgren
Performer(s): Kansas



Windows, to the world are what we're looking through
Who knows, if what we find is true
Seeing, is believing as some people say
Knowing, is to get a better view

(Chorus)
For the windows of the world
Are never open all the way
And the voices of the past
Are not forgotten
Till you leave it all behind you
You will never see the day
'Cause your life is on the line

Tasting, of the wine of some forbidden fruit
Reaping, the sorrows that we sow
Reaching, to the stars will never bring us home
Teaching, what we really could not know

(Chorus)

Touching, we are moving to the things we feel
Trying, to be what we could never be
Turning, if we'd only open up our hearts
Yearning, for the things we cannot see

(Chorus)

Allein


Allein
Performer(s): Reinhard Mey



Er drang mir in die Seele, weiß Gott, wie er mich traf
der Spott der guten Kinder, ich war das schwarze Schaf
im Pausenhof, die Tränen niederkämpfend, stand ich stumm
der Inhalt meines Ranzens lag verstreut um mich herum
wie wünscht' ich mir beim Aufsammeln eine helfende Hand
ein Lächeln, einen Trost, und da war keiner, der sich fand
und ich hatte keinen Freund, und schlechte Noten, ist ja wahr
und unmoderne Kleider und widerspenstiges Haar

Allein - wir sind allein
wir kommen und wir gehen ganz allein
wir mögen noch so sehr geliebt, von Zuneigung umgeben sein
die Kreuzwege des Lebens gehen wir immer ganz allein
Allein - wir sind allein
wir kommen und wir gehen ganz allein

Wir waren uns alle einig in dem großen Saal
wir hatten große Pläne und ein großes Ideal
ich war der Frechste und der Lauteste und hatte Schneid
ich wusste unsere Stärke war unsere Geschlossenheit
doch mancher, der von großer gemeinsamer Sache sprach
ging dabei doch nur seiner kleinen eigenen Sache nach
und als ein Held sich nach dem anderen auf die Seite schlich
stand einer nur im Regen, und der eine, der war ich

Und noch ein Glas Champagner und sie drückten mir die Hand
und alle waren freundlich zu mir, alle waren charmant
und mancher hat mir auf die Schulter geklopft, doch mir scheint
es hat wohl mancher eher sich als mich damit gemeint
die Worte wurden lauter und sie gaben keinen Sinn
das Gedränge immer enger und ich stand mitten drin
und fühlte mich gefangen wie ein Insekt im Sand
je mehr es krabbelt desto weiter rückt der Kraterrand

Nun, ein Teil meines Lebens liegt hinter mir im Licht
von Liebe überflutet und gesäumt von Zuversicht
in Höhen und in Tiefen auf manchem verschlungenen Pfad
fand ich gute Gefährten und fand ich guten Rat
doch je teurer der Gefährte, desto bitterer der Schluss
dass ich den letzten Schritt des Wegs alleine gehen muss
wie sehr wir uns auch aneinander klammern, uns bleibt nur
die gleiche leere Bank auf einem kalten leeren Flur

Window Shopping

Performer(s): Hank Williams;
and various other artists



You`re Window Shoppin`
Just Window Shoppin`
You`re only lookin` a-round
You`re not buyin`
You`re just tryin`
To find the best deal in town

You give away your kisses
But you never give your heart
To anyone who`s fool enough to fall ...
You don`t feel love
You don`t want real love
You`re Window Shoppin` that`s all

You`re Window Shoppin`
Just Window Shoppin`
You`re only lookin` a-round
You`re not buyin`
You`re just tryin`
To find the best deal in town

You give away your kisses
But you never give your heart
To anyone who`s fool enough to fall ...
You don`t feel love
You don`t want real love
You`re Window Shoppin` that`s all

Allegheny Moon I need your light
To help me find romance tonight
So shine, shine, shine

Window Cleaner No 2


Window Cleaner No 2
Performer(s): George Formby



You've heard about my capers when windows I've to clean
Now I'd like to tell you of a few more things I've seen

I've seen Miss Thompson in her flat take off her shoes her coat and hat
I've seen her take off more than that, when I'm cleaning windows

At a ladies school I call, one girl flirts with me and all
I'm insured in case I fall, when I'm cleaning windows

All day up this ladder I'm as happy as can be
It's not my fault I see a lot of things I shouldn't see

To overcrowded flats I've been, sixteen in one bed I've seen
With a lodger tucked up in between, when I'm cleaning windows

Old soldiers never die they say, now I don't want to pass away
I kick the bucket every day when I'm cleaning windows

Through working at such dizzy heights, I dream about my job at night
I polish my wife's thin gummy tights, when I'm cleaning windows

All day up this ladder I'm as happy as can be
It's not my fault I see a lot of things I shouldn't see

The newlyweds at number six, somehow the curtains they can't fix
They play some lovely parlour tricks, when I' m cleaning windows

Now lots of girls I've had to jilt, for they admire the way I'm built
It's a good job I don't wear a kilt, when I'm cleaning windows

At the coronation I'll commence to work where crowds are very dense
And let me stand for eighteen pence, when I'm cleaning windows

All day up this ladder I'm as happy as can be
It's not my fault I see a lot of things I shouldn't see

At eight o'clock a girl she wakes, at five past eight a bath she takes
At ten past eight the ladder breaks, when I’m cleaning windows

Allegheny


Allegheny
Composer(s): Chris Gantry
Performer(s): Johnny Cash



How she got that junk car runnin' guess I'll never know
It never ran but once and set to winters in the snow
Well imagine runnin' out on me when I lay sound asleep Allegheny
Well my big mistake was thinkin' she was something I could keep
She stole my winter's food supply and something else I fear
My savin's in the mattress have strangely disappeared
Now those who know me best knows he who robs me best beware Allegheny
I'm gonna call up the dogs and hunt you down drag you back here by the hair

Oh Allegheny something tells me you're dis-satisfied
Well could it be because I've been your mail-order bride
There's a half of you that's French yeah and I need to crave a better style
And a half of you is Cherokee yeah and I've gone wild Allegheny

She's got a head start on me as a crow flies half a day
And unless I miss my guess she'll stop to rest in Monterey
But if I take the Knoxville Highway thirteen hours it will be Allegheny
Well she forgot I knew the shortcut I'll be there in less than three

Oh Allegheny something tells me...

I signaled for my dogs to wait outside the hotel door
I described her to the desk clerk he said try the second floor
And then he mentioned she's got company
And that marks the stranget's doom Allegheny
I wish I was her so I could see my face when I bust into the room

Oh Allegheny something tells me...
Allegheny Allegheny come back here Allegheny Allegheny

Windekind


Windekind
Composer(s): A. Muhren; P. Els
Performer(s): Ann Christy



Al lijken al je dagen
Zo vreselijk monotoon
Al gaat je droom vervagen
En voel je je lui en loom
Toch schijn je te herleven
Bij het horen van de wind
Als een blad dat plots gaar zweven
In bekoring voor z'n lied

Windekind, windekind
Welk geheim schuilt er in z'n lied
Windekind, windekind
Fluistert hij zacht een liefdeslied
Al bekoord hij je met z'n verhalen
Die je hartje eentonigheid huilen

Al vind je heel de wereld
Zo hopeloos dekadent
En al lijken alle mensen
Je lichtzinnig en zo verwend
Toch vind je troost en vrede
In de woorden van de wind
Al je zorgen en problemen
Gaan verloren in z'n lied

Windekind, windekind
Welk geheim schuilt er in z'n lied
Windekind, windekind
Fluistert hij zacht een liefdeslied
Al bekoord hij je met z'n verhalen
Die je hartje eentonigheid huilen

Windekind, windekind
Welk geheim schuilt er in z'n lied
Windekind, windekind
Fluistert hij zacht een liefdeslied

Windekind, windekind
Fluistert hij zacht een liefdeslied

Windekind, windekind

Alle Prese Con Una Verde Milonga


Alle Prese Con Una Verde Milonga
Composer(s): Paolo Conte
Performer(s): Paolo Conte



Alle prese con una verde milonga
il musicista si diverte e si estenua...
E mi avrai verde milonga che sei stata scritta per me
per la mia sensibilità per le mie scarpe lucidate
per il mio tempo per il mio gusto
per tutta la mia stanchezza e la mia mia guittezza
Mi avrai verde milonga inquieta che mi strappi un sorriso
di tregua ad ogni accordo mentre mentre fai dannare le mie dita...
Io sono qui sono venuto a suonare sono venuto ad amare
e di nascosto a danzare...
e ammesso che la milonga fosse una canzone
ebbene io, io l'ho svegliata e l'ho guidata a un ritmo più lento
così la milonga rivelava di se molto più
molto più di quanto apparisse la sua origine d'Africa
la sua eleganza di zebra, il suo essere di frontiera
una verde frontiera ...
una verde frontiera tra il suonare e l'amare
verde spettacolo in corsa da inseguire...
da inseguire sempre, da inseguire ancora
fino ai laghi bianchi del silenzio fin che Athaualpa
o qualche altro Dio non ti dica descansate niño
che continuo io... ah ...io sono qui
sono venuto a suonare, sono venuto a danzare
e di nascosto ad amare ...

Wind Of Change (Scorpions)


Wind Of Change
Composer(s): Klaus Meine
Performer(s): Scorpions



I follow the Moskva down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change

The world is closing in and did you ever think
That we could be so close like brothers
The future's in the air I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

Walking down the street distant memories
Are buried in the past forever
I follow the Moskva down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their dreams)
With you and me (with you and me)
Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change (wind of change)

The wind of change blows straight into the face of time
Like a storm wind that will ring the freedom bell
For peace of mind let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say

Take me (take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their dreams)
With you and me (with you and me)
Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night (glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change (wind of change)

Alle Blumen Dieser Welt


Alle Blumen Dieser Welt
Composer(s): A. Alstone - Eddy Marnay - P. Buchenkamp
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri



Alle Blumen dieser Welt
Alle Blumen bringst du mir
Doch mir ist ein Tag mit dir
Ohoh lieber als alle Blumen dieser Welt

Violette Orchideen
Möchte ich nicht mehr
Bald schon müssen sie vergehen
Dann wird es so leer

Alle Blumen dieser Welt
Alle Blumen bringst du mir
Doch mir ist ein Tag mit dir
Ohoh lieber als alle Blumen dieser Welt

Weiß erblüht der junge Flieder
Rot erblüht der Mohn
Doch die Schönheit welkt auch wieder
Ist nur Illusion

Alle Blumen dieser Welt
Alle Blumen bringst du mir
Doch mir ist ein Tag mit dir
Ohoh lieber als alle Blumen dieser Welt

Ohoh lieber als alle Blumen dieser Welt

Wind Of Change (Bee Gees)


Wind Of Change
Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Robin Gibb
Performer(s): Bee Gees



In the streets of New York City
ev'ry man can feel the cold
And I don't want no pity
but I want my story told

When the lights shine down on me
they shine on the little boy
Is this way to make him pay
be'ng born in a world of joy

But like me
he don't know where he'll go wrong
he won't cry so many tears
till he finds out why he don't belong like me

there's no room for us out there
you can lose your hope and pride
When it comes to broken dreams
you'll get your share
Sometime a man breaks down
and the good thing he is looking for
are crushed into the ground

Get on up, look around
can't you feel the wind of change?
Get on up, taste the air
can't you see the wind of change

Don't you understand what I'm sayin'
we need a god down there
A man to lead us children
take us from the valley of fear

Make the lights shine down on us
show us the road to go
Help us survive, make us arrive
teach us what we need to know

But like me
he don't know where he'll go wrong
he won't cry so many tears
till he finds out why he don't belong like me

there's no room for us out there
you can lose your hope and pride
When it comes to broken dreams
you'll get your share
Sometime a man breaks down
and the good thing he is looking for
are crushed into the ground

Get on up, look around
can't you feel the wind of change?
Get on up, taste the air
can't you see the wind of change

Get on up ...

Allá Tu Si Me Olvidas


Allá Tu Si Me Olvidas
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): Chelo



Allá tu si de veras me dejas
si estás decidida
a cambiar en tu vida
mi noble querer

Allá tu si te encuentras con alguién
que llegue y que te hable
de cosas que a tu alma
le puedan doler

Yo diría que pensaras las cosas
que no decidieras
así de momento
dejarme de amar

Ya lo ves que este mundo es ingrato
que habiendo de todo
en un triste rato
se puede acabar

Porque yo te diré que en la vida
una vez que te alejes de mí
ya podrás regresar de rodillas
nunca más volveré a ser de ti

Yo quisiera que tú me miráras
en estos ratitos
que estoy suspirando
por neustra pasión

Yo quisiera que tú me encontraras
cuando con la luna me quedo solito
borracho de amor

Allá tu si te olvidas de todo
las cosas de amores
después se recuerdan
con mucho dolor

Y aunque quieras volver al pasado
yote aseguro
que no has de lograrlo
ni hablando con Dios

Porque yo te diré que en la vida
una vez que te alejes de mí
ya podrás regresar de rodillas
nunca más volveré a ser de tí

Wind Beneath My Wings


Wind Beneath My Wings
Composer(s): Larry Henley; Jeff Silbar
Performer(s): Bette Midler;
and various other artists



It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You were content to let me shine, that's your way
You always walked a step behind
So I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength
A beautiful face without a name, for so long
A beautiful smile to hide the pain

Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I would like to be
If I can fly higher than an eagle
You are the wind beneath my wings
It might have appeared to go unnoticed
but I've got it all here in my heart
I want you to know I know the truth
Of course I know it
I would be nothing with out you

Fly, fly, fly away
You let me fly so high
Oh, fly, fly
So high against the sky
So high I almost touch the sky
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you
The wind beneath my wings

Alla Mia Età


Alla Mia Età
Composer(s): Rossi - Robifer
Performer(s): Rita Pavone



Alla mia età si incomincia a capir l'amore
si incomincia a cercar con chi poter sognar...
Alla mia età si finisce così di giocar
si incomincia pian piano a parlar con la voce del cuor...
Anche per me è arrivata così questa età
ho capito cos'è la realtà di un pensiero d'amor...
Alla mia età si incomincia a capir l'amore
si incomincia a cercar con chi poter sognar...

Winchester Cathedral
Je chante ce succès
Winchester Cathedral
Je l'chante sans arrêts

Je n'suis pas le seul
A aimer cette chanson là
Hier soir dans la rue
Une fille la chantait aussi a coté de moi

Winchester Cathedral
Elle allait partir
On s'est regardés
En éclatant de rire

Dans la rue a droite
Je l'ai entraînée
Dans une petite boite
On est allés danser

Arrivés la bas, devinez
Quel disque on passait
C'était justement ce p'tit air
Chanté par un groupe anglais

Winchester Cathedral
Je l'ai embrassée
Winchester Catheral
Tout a commencé

C'est comme ça qu'un jour
J'ai connu l'amour
Merci Winchester Cathedral

Alla fiera dell'est, per due soldi, un topolino mio padre comprò
Alla fiera dell'est, per due soldi, un topolino mio padre comprò
E venne il gatto, che si mangiò il topo, che al mercato mio padre comprò
E venne il gatto, che si mangiò il topo, che al mercato mio padre comprò
Alla fiera dell'est, per due soldi, un topolino mio padre comprò
E venne il cane, che morse il gatto, che si mangiò il topo
che al mercato mio padre comprò

E venne il bastone, che picchiò il cane, che morse il gatto
che si mangiò il topo che al mercato mio padre comprò

Alla fiera dell'est, per due soldi, un topolino mio padre comprò
E venne il fuoco, che bruciò il bastone, che picchiò il cane
che morse il gatto, che si mangiò il topo che al mercato mio padre comprò

Alla fiera dell'est, per due soldi, un topolino mio padre comprò
E venne l'acqua che spense il fuoco che bruciò il bastone che picchiò il cane
che morse il gatto, che si mangiò il topo che al mercato mio padre comprò

Alla fiera dell'est, per due soldi, un topolino mio padre comprò
E venne il toro, che bevve l'acqua, che spense il fuoco
che bruciò il bastone, che picchiò il cane
che morse il gatto, che si mangiò il topo che al mercato mio padre comprò

Alla fiera dell'est, per due soldi, un topolino mio padre comprò
E venne il macellaio, che uccise il toro, che bevve l'acqua
che spense il fuoco, che bruciò il bastone, che picchiò il cane
che morse il gatto, che si mangiò il topo che al mercato mio padre comprò

Alla fiera dell'est, per due soldi, un topolino mio padre comprò
E l'angelo della morte, sul macellaio, che uccise il toro, che bevve l'acqua
che spense il fuoco, che bruciò il bastone, che picchiò il cane
che morse il gatto, che si mangiò il topo che al mercato mio padre comprò

Alla fiera dell'est, per due soldi, un topolino mio padre comprò
E infine il Signore, sull'angelo della morte, sul macellaio
che uccise il toro, che bevve l'acqua, che spense il fuoco
che bruciò il bastone, che picchiò il cane, che morse il gatto
che si mangiò il topo che al mercato mio padre comprò

Alla fiera dell'est, per due soldi, un topolino mio padre comprò

Winchester Cathedral
You're bringing me down
You stood and you watched as
My baby left town

You could have done something
But you didn't try
You didn't do nothing
You let her walk by

Now everyone knows just how much I needed that gal
She wouldn't have gone far away
If only you'd started ringing your bell

You stood and you watched as
My baby left town

But now all I can do is hope & pray that you'll come to me tomorrow

And whenever I look at you, my heart beat like a tom-tom
If you'd only come to me, this torch I wouldn't have to carry
And if everything goes right, to the church we will go to marry
