La Colombe (Judy Collins)
La Colombe
((Adapted from: La Colombe (by Jacques Brel) - 1959))
Composer(s): Jacques Brel
Performer(s): Judy Collins - 1966
Why all these bugles cry
These squads of young men drilled
To kill and to be killed
Stood waiting by the train
Why the orders loud and hoarse
Why the engine's groaning cough
As it strains to drag us all
Into the holocaust
Why crowds who sing and cry
And shout and fling us flowers
And trade their rights for ours
To murder and to die
The dove has torn her wings
So no more songs of love
We are not here to sing
We're here to kill the dove
Why must this moment come
When childhood has to die
When hope shrinks to a sigh
And speech into a drum
Why are they pale and still
Young boys trained over night
Concripts payed to kill
And dressed in gray to fight
These rainclouds massing tight
This train load battle bound
This moving burial ground
Goes thundering to the night
The dove has torn her wings
So no more songs of love
We are not here to sing
We're here to kill the dove
Why statues towering grave
Above the last defeat
Old words and lies repeat
Across a new made grave
And why the same still birds
That victory always brought
These hours of glory bought
By men with mounds of earth
Dead ash without a spark
Where cities used to be
Where guns probe every spark
And crush it into dust
The dove has torn her wings
So no more songs of love
We are not here to sing
We're here to kill the dove
And while your face undone
With jagged lines of tears
That gave in those first years
All the peace I'd ever want
Your body in the gloom
The platform fading back
Your shadow on the track
A flower upon a tomb
And why these days ahead
When I must let you cry
And live prepared to die
And to....
The dove has torn her wings
So no more songs of love
We are not here to sing
We're here to kill the dove

Down Forget-Me-Not Lane
Down Forget-Me-Not Lane
Composer(s): Bud Flanagan - Al Nicholls - Morgan Chester
Performer(s): Flanagan & Allen
Rainy days don’t worry me
There’s a rainbow that I can see
And it’s waiting for me
Down forget-me-not lane
Fortune never comes that way
I’ll keep singing a song each day
Keeping troubles away
From forget-me-not lane
It’s just a heaven they made
And if you’re a stranger there
You’ll find a table well laid
And you’re welcome to a chair
There’s no high-brow etiquette
Just plain people and once you’ve met
They will never forget
Down forget-me-not lane
(Allen)
Rainy days don’t worry me

And if you’re a stranger there

There’s no high-brow etiquette
Just plain people and once you’ve met

They will never forget

La Colombe (Jacques Brel)
La Colombe
((English Version: La Colombe (by Judy Collins) - 1966))
Composer(s): Jacques Brel
First release by: Jacques Brel - 1959
Pourquoi cette fanfare
Quand les soldats par quatre
Attendent les massacres
Sur le quai d'une gare
Pourquoi ce train ventru
Qui ronronne et soupire
Avant de nous conduire
Jusqu'au malentendu
Pourquoi les chants les cris
Des foules venues fleurir
Ceux qui ont le droit de partir
Au nom de leurs conneries
Nous n'irons plus au bois la colombe est blessée
Nous n'allons pas au bois nous allons la tuer
Pourquoi l'heure que voilà
Où finit notre enfance
Où finit notre chance
Où notre train s'en va
Pourquoi ce lourd convoi
Chargé d'hommes en gris
Repeints en une nuit
Pour partir en soldats
Pourquoi ce train de pluie
Pourquoi ce train de guerre
Pourquoi ce cimetière
En marche vers la nuit
Nous n'irons plus au bois la colombe est blessée
Nous n'allons pas au bois nous allons la tuer
Pourquoi les monuments
Qu'offriront les défaites
Les phrases déjà faites
Qui suivront l'enterrement
Pourquoi l'enfant mort-né
Que sera la victoire
Pourquoi les jours de gloire
Que d'autres auront payés
Pourquoi ces coins de terre
Que l'on va peindre en gris
Puisque c'est au fusil
Qu'on éteint la lumière
Nous n'irons plus au bois la colombe est blessée
Nous n'allons pas au bois nous allons la tuer
Pourquoi ton cher visage
Dégrafé par les larmes
Qui me rendait les armes
Aux sources du voyage
Pourquoi ton corps qui sombre
Ton corps qui disparaît
Et n'est plus sur le quai
Qu'une fleur sur une tombe
Pourquoi ces prochains jours
Où je devrais penser
À ne plus m'habiller
Que d'une moitié d'amour
Nous n'irons plus au bois la colombe est blessée
Nous n'allons pas au bois nous allons la tuer

Listen downchild, please take a fool`s advice
Don`t newer let no one woman, Man misuse you twice
Every time she smiles, says she don`t love no one but you
Everytime she smiles, says she don`t love no one but you
You better watch out buddy boy, little girl love to drop a chunk on you
I tried so hard to not even think about my past life
I tried so hard even think about my past life
Because I don`t want to ever ever make a mistake in life
Baby, I and you could be so happy, we can be so lovin` tonight
From now on darling, we can be so happy be so loving from now on
Because if I ever make a mistake in life, I know I`d ruin my happy home

La Collina Dei Ciliegi
La Collina Dei Ciliegi
Composer(s): Lucio Battisti
Performer(s): Lucio Battisti; Mogol Audio 2
E se davvero tu vuoi vivere una vita luminosa e più fragrante
cancella col coraggio quella supplica dagli occhi
troppo spesso la saggezza e' solamente la prudenza più stagnante
e quasi sempre dietro la collina è il sole!
ma perché tu non ti vuoi azzurra e lucente?
ma perché tu non vuoi spaziare con me
volando intorno a una tradizione
come un colombo intorno a un pallone frenato
e con un colpo di becco ben aggiustato
forarlo e lui giù, giù, giù...
e noi ancora ancor più su
planando sopra boschi di braccia tese
un sorriso che non ha ne' più un volto ne' più un'età
e respirando brezze che dilagano su terre
senza limiti e confini
ci allontaniamo e poi ci ritroviamo più vicini
e più in alto, e più in là
se chiudi gli occhi un istante
ora figli dell'immensità
Se segui la mia mente, se segui la mia mente
abbandoni facilmente le antiche gelosie
ma non ti accorgi che e' solo la paura
che infine uccide i sentimenti
le anime non hanno sesso nei sogni
e no, non temere, tu non sarai preda dei venti
ma perché non mi dai la tua mano perché
potremmo correre sulla collina
e dai ciliegi veder la mattina...è già là!
E dando un calcio ad un sasso residuo d'inferno
farlo rotolar giù giù giù e poi ancor più su
planando sopra boschi di braccia tese
un sorriso che non ha ne' più un volto ne' più un'età
e respirando brezze che dilagano su terre
senza limiti e confini
ci allontaniamo e poi ci ritroviamo più vicini
e più in alto, e più in là
ora figli dell'immortalità

Covered by multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages:
1965 - Una Ragazza In Due (I Giganti)
1966 - Pan! V'la La Pluie! (Henri Salvador)
She walked like a dream from another world
I'd never seen such a lovely girl
She smiled as we stood on the sand
But just as I reached for her hand
Down came the rain
It's happened again
The thunder and lightning
Down came the rain
We walked by the sea for a long, long time
I knew somehow she was nearly mine
The look in her eyes told me this
But just as we stopped for a kiss
Down came the rain
It's happened again
The thunder and lightning
Down came the rain
She whispered to me she would be my bride
She'd always be standing by my side
I'd come to the end of my search
But just as we got to the church
Down came the rain
It's happened again
The thunder and lightning
Down came the rain
Down came the rain
Down came the rai-hai-hain
(The rain came down!)

La Colina Sobre El Terciopelo
Composer(s): León Gieco
Performer(s): León Gieco
Aunque venga el invierno y se robe las hojas y la flor
siempre habra un lugar donde descansar
y eso sera en la coli--i--na de sol, sobre el terciopelo marron, te llevare
Aunque siga la ciudad con sus gritos y sus quejas
siempre habra un lugar donde descansar
y eso sera en la colina de sol, sobre el terciopelo marron te llevare
Aunque vendan flores de papel sin perfumes ni color
siempre habra un lugar donde descansar
y eso sera en la colina de sol, sobre el terciopelo marron te llevare
Nota: La version original se toca con dos guitarras, estos acordes
fueron adaptados para acompañar la melodia basica solamente

Down By The Zuiderzee
Down By The Zuiderzee (aka In A Little Dutch Kindergarten)
Composer(s): Herre De Vos - Al Bryan - L. Rosenstock
Performer(s): Barron Blue; Bobby Breen
In a little Dutch kindergarten
By the little old Zuiderzee
There was started the sweetest romance
That anyone could see
She was dimpled and round and rosy
There was mischief within his eyes
But the teacher was never nosey
So the teacher never got wise
They would share their sweets
Each day in the sweetest way
That was twenty years ago
And they do the same today
Now they're married and they're so happy
And they're sending their children three
To that little Dutch kindergarten
Down by the Zuiderzee

La Colina De La Vida
La Colina De La Vida
Composer(s): León Gieco
Performer(s): León Gieco
Casi, casi nada me resulta pasajero, todo prende de mi sueños
y se acopla en mi espalda y asi subo, muy tranquilo la colina de la vida
Nunca me creo en la cima o en la gloria, eso es un gran fantasma
creado por generaciones pasadas, atascado en el camino de la vida
La realidad duerme sola en un entierro y camina triste por el sueño del mas bueno
la realidad baila sola en la mentira y en un bolsillo tiene
amor y alegrias un Dios de fantasias la guerra y la poesia
Tengo de todo para ver y creer, para odiar o no creer
y muchas veces me encuentro solitario, llorando en el umbral de la vida
Busco hacer pie en el mundo al reves, busco algun buen amigo
para que no me atrape algun dia, temiendo hallarla muerta a la vida
La realidad duerme sola en un entierro y camina triste por el sueño del mas bueno
la realidad baila sola en la mentira y en un bolsillo tiene
amor y alegrias un Dios de fantasias la guerra y la poesia

Down By The Station (Early in the Morning)
Down By The Station (Early in the Morning)
Composer(s): Bruce Belland - Glen Larson
Performer(s): The Four Preps
Down by the station early in the morning
Met a little girl about as cute as she could be
I turned on my charms and told her that I loved her
I said that she would always be the number one for me
She'd always be my number one girl
I said there'd be no number two or three
Down in the malt shop shortly thereafter
Met another girl about as cute as she could be
I looked for number one and when I didn't see her
I told number two she was the only girl for me
Went to the drug store and nearly lost my life
There I saw my girlfriends, one and two
Standing there together, I knew I was in trouble
But I'm a clever guy I knew what to do
I went on down by the station early in the morning
I was wooing women as cute as they could be
But then I saw another girl lookin kinda pretty
I said I'm through with one and two
I love you number three
I said I love you number three
And here's what she said to me
Just head on down by the station early in the morning
Catch yourself a trolley car that goes into the sea
I want a love that's true sir, not a love like you sir
You weren't true to one and two
You won't be true to me
Down by the station early in the morning
See the little puffer-bellies all in a row
See the station master pull the little handle
Chug, chug, woo, woo, off they go

Down By The Seaside
Down By The Seaside
Composer(s): Jimmy Page - Robert Plant
First release by: Led Zeppelin - 1975
Down by the seaside, see the boats go sailin'
Can the people hear, what the little fish are sayin'?
Oh, oh, the people turned away, oh, the people turned away
Down in the city streets, see all the folk go racin', racin'
No time left, to pass the time of day
The people turned away, the people turned away
So far away, so far away
See how they run, see how they run, see how they run, see how they run
Do you still do the twist?
Do you find you remember things that well?
I wanna tell you, some go twistin' every day
Though sometimes it's awful hard to tell
Out in the country, hear the people singin'
Singin' 'bout their progress, knowin' where they're goin'
Oh, oh, oh, oh, the people turned away
Yes, the people turned away
Sing loud for the sunshine, pray hard for the rain
And show your love for Lady Nature, and she will come back again
The people turned away
The people turned away

La Cloche
Composer(s): B. Bower
Performer(s): France Gall
Deux guitares, un banjo une cloche
Deux guitares, un banjo une cloche
Je tape à tour de bras
On se moque des doubles croches
Quand mes deux frères jouent avec moi
On met tous les disques à succès
Puis on essaie de les imiter
Ma cloche donne la cadence
Croyez-moi une cloche ça balance
Deux guitares, un banjo une cloche
Oui ça fait du bruit
Pour faire danser tous les amis
Toutes les chansons qu'on joue ensemble
Ont toutes un air qui se ressemble
On n'est pas toujours modestes
On est fiers fiers, de notre orchestre
Deux guitares, un banjo une cloche
Nous, ça nous suffit
Pour faire danser tous les amis
Pour faire danser tous les amis

Ya se va la clave azul
se va el sol de Marabú
Ya se va, no volverá
jamás, pero jamás la clave azul
Ya se va la clave azul
se va el sol de Marabú
Ya se va, no volverá
jamás, pero jamás la clave azul
Yo te dejo mi canción arrulladora
y me llevo tu mirar de gran señora
Tu mirada fascinante y misteriosa
a través del antifaz color de rosa
Si recoges el rumor de mis querellas
temblarán en nuestro idilio las estrellas
Mis alondras a tu voz despertarán
y mis noches de dolor con tus ojos se iluminarán
Ya se va la clave azul
se va el sol de Marabú
Ya se va la clave azul
se va el sol de Marabú
Se va la clave azul
se va la clave azul
Ya se va la clave azul
se va el sol de Marabú
Ya se va la clave azul

First release by: Neil Young & Crazy Horse - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
Be on my side, I'll be on your side
There's no reason for us to hide
It's so hard for me staying here all alone
When you could be taking me for a ride
She could drag me over the rainbow
And send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead
You take my hand, I'll take your hand
Together we may get away
This much madness is too much sorrow
It's impossible to make it today
She could drag me over the rainbow
And send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead
Be on my side, I'll be on your side
There's no reason for us to hide
It's so hard for me staying here all alone
When you could be taking me for a ride
