Devil Wind


Devil Wind
Composer(s): Bob Welch
Performer(s): Bob Welch



Well hello little girl, welcome to this big town
I´ve been patiently waiting, let me show you around
Did you bring lots of money, do you have nerves of steel
And are you ready to gamble, put your heart on the wheel

Chorus:
Oh oh, the devil wind
Big town claims another win
Is this how it all begins
How the innocents have changed
Oh oh, the devil wind
Breaks another young heart again
So this is how it always ends
How the innocents have changed

I was born in this city, I destroyed my old man
But he came to this city from an innocent land
Now I should know better, I´d be a fool if I got hurt
But you do what you have to, let me be the first

Chorus

After the devil wind stops blowin'
Wake up and find your heart´s been broken

Don't Fight It (Feel It)


Don't Fight It (Feel It)
Composer(s): Sam Cooke
Performer(s): Ike & Tina Turner; Sam Cooke



Feel it, feel it

Baby when the band is playing and that solid beat
O, make you wanna move, make you wanna groove
make you wanna pat your feet
Don't fight it, don't fight, feel it

No, now when we dance close together
with your cheeck close to mine
and you begin to feel, a funny little thrill
moving up your spine
Don't fight it, don't fight, feel it

Baby, when the swinging music, makes you wanna flip
Don't be in pain, trying to restrain
go ahead and move your hips
Baby when you're dancing near me
and I feel I wanna tease
And when I do, the feeling gets you
when you feel you wanna squeeze
Don't fight it, don't fight, feel it
feel it (many times)

Baby, when the swinging music, makes you wanna flip
Don't be in pain, trying to restrain
go ahead and move your hips
Baby when you're dancing near me
and I feel I wanna tease
And when I do, the feeling gets you
when you feel you wanna squeeze
Don't fight it, don't fight, feel it

Devil Or Angel?


Devil Or Angel?
Composer(s): Blanche Carter
Performer(s): The Clovers



Devil or angel, I can't make up my mind
Which one you are I'd like to wake up and find
Devil or angel dear, whichever you are
I miss you, I miss you, I-I mi-i-iss you

Devil or angel please say you'll be mi-i-ine
Love me or leave me, I'll go out of my mind
Devil or angel dear, whichever you are
I need you, I need you, I need you

You look like an angel
Your smile is divine
But you keep me guessin'
Will you ever be *mi-i-i-ne*?

Devil or angel please say you'll be mi-i-ine
Love me or leave, I've made up my mind
Devil or angel dear, whichever you are
I love you, I love you, I-I lo-o-ove you

Devil or angel please say you'll be mi-i-ine
Love me or leave, I've made up my mind
Devil or angel dear, whichever you are
I love you, I love you, I love you

Après La Fête (Jésus)


Après La Fête (Jésus)
Performer(s): Joe Dassin & Marcella



Et voici un nouveau jour qui se lève
Pour notre amour
La fête continue après la fête
Et la vie reprend le cours de son rêve
Pour notre amour
Tout commence et pourtant je tremble
Pour toi, pour toi.
N'aie pas peur, n'aie pas peur
Du nouveau jour qui se lève
Sur notre amour
N'aie pas peur de la nuit
Quand elle viendra je serai là

J'ai si peur, peur que demain
Tout s'arrête pour notre amour
J'ai peur de ce qui vient après la fête
C'set voilà qui tourne loin
C'est peut-être pour notre amour
Je peux vivre si ...... de la peur, de ma peur
Et voici un nouveau jour qui se lève
Pour notre amour
La fête est bien finie
Mais pas la vie
Après la fête

Devil May Care


Devil May Care Composer(s): Johnny Burke - Harry Warren First recording/First release by: Bing Crosby - 1940 Covered by multiple other artists



Here goes, looks like I'm falling
Call me "Devil May Care"
I know it shouldn't be
But you know me, pal
I`ll take a dare

Who knows, but this time
I may be lucky
This may be on the square
Here goes, it's an adventure
Just call me "Devil May Care"!

Een Roze-Rode Appelboom


Een Roze-Rode Appelboom
Composer(s): Fred Weyrich - Hans Blum
Performer(s): Truus



Een roze-rode appelboom
Vol rijpe gouden vruchten
Groeit in de boomgaard van mijn levensdroom
Een roze-rode appelboom
Vol rijpe gouden vruchten
Is van mijn ware liefde het symbool

Ik ben verliefd als nooit tevoren
Zo blij, omdat een nieuw bestaan voor mij begint
Een liefdeslied klinkt in mijn oren
Het is alsof de hele wereld om me zingt
'k Droom dag en nacht
Al doe ik geen oog meer toe
'k Ben zo verward
'k Weet niet meer wat ik doe, doe, doe, doe
Doe, doe, doe, doe
Doe, doe, doe, doe, doe

Een roze-rode appelboom
Vol rijpe gouden vruchten
Groeit in de boomgaard van mijn levensdroom
Bom, bom, bom, bom
Een roze-rode appelboom
Vol rijpe gouden vruchten
Is van mijn ware liefde het symbool

De grootste schok van heel mijn leven
Kreeg ik toen ik je onverwachts voor mij zag staan
Mijn rustig hart begon te beven
Jouw eerste kus, daar ben ik nu nog duizelig van
En sinds die dag
Wuift geluk me vrolijk toe
Ik zing en lach
Bij alles wat ik doe, doe, doe, doe
Doe, doe, doe

Een roze-rode appelboom
Vol rijpe gouden vruchten
Groeit in de boomgaard van mijn levensdroom
Bom, bom, bom, bom
Een roze-rode appelboom
Vol rijpe gouden vruchten
Is van mijn ware liefde het symbool
Is van mijn ware liefde het symbool

She's got the devil in her heart
But her eyes they tantalise

I can't believe that she'll ever ever go
Not when she hugs and says she loves me so
She'll never hurt em

She's got the devil in her heart
oh, no, no, no, this I can't believe
She's gonna tear your heart apart
no no nay will she deceive

Don't take chances if your romance is
So important to you
She'll never hurt me

She's gonna tear your heart apart
no, no nay will she deceive

She's got the devil in her heart
No she's an angel sent to me
She's got the devil in her heart
No she's an angel sent to me

Approximately Infinite Universe


Approximately Infinite Universe
Composer(s): Yoko Ono
Performer(s): Yoko Ono



In this approximately infinite universe
I know a girl who’s in constant hell
No love or pill could keep her cool
’cause there’s a thousand holes in her heart

And the wind of the past blows through her heart
Reminding her of the people she killed
Wind of now blows off her cool
Telling her there’s something she’s missed

You know the town of sapporo, she says
Where the men talk rough and never sing
Two bottles of loneliness
Patching the holes in her dream

In this approximately infinite universe
I know a girl who’s raising constant hell
No love or bottle could fix her good
’cause there’s a thousand holes in her head

And the wind of the future blows through her head
Saying there’s no point of return
The wind of the universe blows off her soul
Telling her there’s nowhere to go

I wanna sleep, wanna sleep, she says
And take her fix to bed
Two bottles of loneliness
Patching the holes in her dream

Must have been the devil, believe that woman has gone mad
Must have been the devil, believe that woman has gone mad

Must have been the devil, believe that woman has gone mad
Must have been the devil, believe that woman has gone mad

Woman I love, woman I love took off with my best friend
Woman I love took off with my best friend

Approaching Lavender


Approaching Lavender
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot



If you'd like to spend the afternoon approaching lavender
You'll feel just fine but one thing's sure
You'll never be the same
If you'd like to try your hand at understanding lavender
Then you must be very sure
That life is not a game

You might even learn a thing or two approaching lavender
You'll soon be on a one night tour
Forgetting your own name
You won't need a reason just to be alone with lavender

For the light so warm and pure
Will draw you like a flame

The colors that surround you there will be the shade of lavender
Shadows dancing everywhere
Like flowers in the rain
You will find your tongue's on fire while lying next to lavender
With words you never spoke before
And will not speak again

Oh sweet lavender I understand you perfectly
There is no way that I can see
You living by yourself
Oh sweet lavender I must be with you constantly
Your presence means so much to me
Much more that life itself

Oh sweet lavender as fragrant as the name you bear
Please cast away the clothes you wear
And give your love to me
Oh sweet lavender your smile is like the golden sun
I'd love to see you laugh and run
As naked as the sea

If you'd like to spend the afternoon approaching lavender
Don't try and get the best of her
She will not share the blame
If you'd like to try your hand at understanding lavender
Then you must be very sure
That life is not a game
There is no shame

Devil Eyes


Devil Eyes Composer(s): Larry Beckett - Tim Buckley Performer(s): Tim Buckley



I got so tired of meaningful looks
I got so tired of comin' up tame
I was so bothered by those balmy breezes
I was side swiped by smoke fever
They was a crawlin'
Oh down beneath my skin
'Til mama come a runnin'
A mama came a runnin'
Mama came a runnin'
Lord said she got a recipe
Oh and she don't need no fancy sauce
Yah those devil eyes
Lord they stare right through me
Those devil eyes
Look right through me
Aww melt my soul down
Long for those devil eyes

Devi Sapere


Devi Sapere ((Adapted from: Il Faut Savoir (Charles Aznavour) - 1961)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Luciano Beretta Performer(s): Gino Paoli - 1962

Versions In Other Languages: 1962 - Mijn Hart Bemint Teveel (Conny Vandenbos) 2005 - You've Got To Learn (Charles Aznavour) 2007 - Debes Saber (Charles Aznavour)



Devi sapere ancor sorridere
Quando il bel tempo se ne va'
E resta solo la tristezza
E giorni di infelicita'
Devi sapere, che in questa angoscia
La dignita' devi salvar
Malgrado il male che ti senti
Devi partir senza tornar
Preghi il destino, che ti disarma
Per pieta', non mi far morir
Devi sapere, celare il pianto
Ma il mondo e' nato per soffrir...

Devi sapere, lasciar la tavola
Quando all'amor non servi piu'
Alzarti con indifferenza
Mentre in silenzio soffri tu
Devi sapere, celar le pene
E mascherare il tuo dolor
Tenere l'odio in te nascosto
E aver l'inferno in fondo al cuor
Devi sapere restar di ghiaccio
Pur se il cuor, brucia di rancor
Devi sapere, lasciar la vita
Ma l'amo troppo ancor
E dirle addio non so'
Devi sapere...ma non lo so'...

Apprendre


Apprendre
Composer(s): Yves Duteil
Performer(s): Yves Duteil



Sous le soleil la terre se fend
Pour cet homme et pour son enfant
Après le puits qu'il faut creuser
Il reste un sillon à tracer...
Sans attendre...

Apprendre ...
À lire, à écrire, à compter
Ouvrir les portes encore fermées
Sur ce savoir accumulé
Qu'on lui en donne un jour la clé
Il a le monde à sa portée...

Lire... Apprendre à lire entre les lignes
Découvrir la magie des signes
Et les trésors inépuisables
Qu'on emporte dans son cartable

Comprendre...
C'est comme un mur que l'on traverse
C'est la brume qui se disperse
Une promesse encore plus belle
La connaissance universelle

Compter...
Apprendre à compter sur soi-même
À compter pour ceux qui vous aiment
Pour faire aussi partie du nombre
Pouvoir enfin sortir de l'ombre

Comprendre...
Combien la vie peut être belle
Et se mettre à compter pour elle
Faire la somme de sa différence
Et se soustraire à l'ignorance

Écrire...
Apprendre à écrire son histoire
À la plume et au crayon noir
En appliquant son écriture
Raconter sa propre aventure...

Surprendre...
Cueillir ses mots comme des fleurs
Semer des graines au long des cœurs
Confier son âme et sa mémoire
À celui qui viendra plus tard

Pour cet enfant à son pupitre
Tirer la langue sur le titre
Écrire son nom sur son cahier
C'est plonger vers sa liberté

Però sei tu che voglio
Gli altri sono niente

Niente di te
Sei solo tu che mi hai fatto soffrire ma
Sevi ritornare
Sei solo tu tutto quello che ho allora tu
Devi ritornare
Vorrei poter scordare te
Ma è più forte ancor di me
Il bene che ti voglio
Devi ritornare

Io non so scordare niente di te
Niente di te
Vorrei poter scordare te
Ma è più forte ancor di me
Il bene che ti voglio

Romeo Und Julia


Romeo Und Julia
Composer(s): Hans Bradtke - H. Mayer
Performer(s): Peggy March



Wir, wir beide sind nicht Romeo und Julia
die beiden, die man vom Theater kennt
Wir, wir beide sind nicht Romeo und Julia
bei uns gibt es bestimmt ein Happy End

Wir, wir zwei sind keine Kinder von Hern Shakespeare
wir werden alle Sorgen überstehen
Komm, komm her zu mir, mein Darling überleg's dir
wann wir Verlobungsringe kaufen geh'n

Die Leute in unserer Straße, die reden von dir und mir
Wenn wir uns verliebt umarmen vor der Tür
Die Leute, sie werden denken, die kriegen sich nie, die zwei
Doch ich weiß, das geht im Leben nie vorbei

Wir, wir beide sind nicht Romeo und Julia
und sind auch nicht zu Hause in Florenz
Wir, wir beide machen Romeo und Julia
In Puncto Tränen keine Konugrrenz
Wir , wir sehen Blumen blühen an allen Wegen
Für uns ist diese Welt so wunderschön
Wir, wir haben Eltern, die sind nicht dagegen
dass wir uns seibenmal die Woche seh'n

Wir, wir beide sind nicht Romeo und Julia
die beiden, die man vom Theater kennt
Wir, wir beide sind nicht Romeo und Julia
bei uns gibt es bestimmt ein Happy End

Devant Le Juke-Box

((Adapted from: If I Didn't Have A Dime (To Play the Jukebox) (Gene Pitney) - 1962))
Composer(s): Phil Medley - Bert Russell - Claude Carrère - Jacques Plante
Performer(s): Sheila & Akim - 1965

Versions In Other Languages:
1963 - Un Soldino (Gene Pitney)
- Que Inhumano (Los Hermanos Carrión)



Près de chez moi l'autre soir
Je me trouvais par hasard
Devant le juke-box
Devant le juke-box
Quand j'entendis tout à coup
Une chanson que j'aimais
J'aimais beaucoup

Pour l'écouter à nouveau
Je cherchais son numéro
Devant le juke-box
Devant le juke-box
Mais sans m'en laisser le temps
Une fille voulu me passer
Passer devant

Permettez c'est à moi - à moi
Pourquoi - pourquoi
Parce que - parce que
Allons - allons
Voyons - voyons
Mais non - mais non
Mais si
Vraiment c'est un peu fort - oui fort
Alors - alors
Que faire - que faire
Misère - misère
Tant pis
Et puis on s'est souri

Je me suis donc effacé
Et je l'ai laissée passer
Devant le juke-box
Devant le juke-box
Sans hésiter un instant
Nous avons en même temps
Choisi la même chanson
Que justement nous aimions
Et comme nous étions heureux
On a dansé tous les deux
Devant le juke-box

Comme on se connaissait mieux
On a bavardé un peu
Devant le juke-box
Devant le juke-box
Et l'on voulu tour à tour
Se choisir une jolie chanson d'amour

Permettez c'est à moi - à moi
Pourquoi - pourquoi
Parce que - parce que
Allons - allons
Voyons - voyons
Mais non - mais non
Mais si
Vraiment c'est un peu fort - oui fort
Alors - alors
Que faire - que faire
Misère - misère
Tant pis
Et puis on s'est souri

Nous ne pouvions nous quitter
Longtemps nous sommes restés
Devant le juke-box
Devant le juke-box
Et comme on s'entendait bien
Nous nous sommes dit à demain
Et c'est depuis cet instant
Que l'on s'est revus souvent
Nous nous souviendrons toujours
Que l'on s'est connu un jour
Devant le juke-box!

Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie


Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie
Composer(s): Maurice Irby Jr.
Performer(s): Jay and The Techniques; Odds & Ends; Foster Sylvers



Ready or not here I come
Gee that used to be such fun

Apples peaches pumpkin pie
Who's afraid to holler I?
That's a game we used to play
Hide and seek was its name
Oh ready or not, hear I come
Gee that used to be such fun
I always used to find a hiding place
Times have changed
Well I'm one step behind you, but still I can't find you
Apple peaches pumpkin pie
You were young and so was I
Now that we've grown up it seems
You just keep ignoring me
I'll find you anywhere you go
I'll follow you high and low
You can't escape this love of mine anytime
Well, I'll sneak up behind you
Be careful where I find you
Apple peaches pumpkin pie
Soon your love will be all mine
Then I'm gonna take you home
Marry you so you won't roam
Marry you so you won't roam
Right now I'll find you anywhere you go
I'm gonna look high and low
You can't escape this love of mine anytime
Well, I'll sneak up behind you
Be careful where I find you
Ready or not here I come
Gee that used to be such fun

(repeat)
