Si quelques filles aux yeux d'ange
D'aventure vous demande
Comment sont nées les étoiles de mer
Faîtes-lui croire cette belle histoire
Un petit clair de lune
Amoureux fou d'une étoile
Sur trois planches de fortune
Chaque nuit tissait des voiles
Et sur cette caravelle
S'en allait voir sa belle
Le petit clair de lune
Lui offrait ses beaux mirages
Et ses joies l'une après l'une
Pour l'inviter au voyage
Mais malgré tout son beau zèle
Lui répondait la belle
Tin tin tin doux clair de lune
Tin tin tin même si tu étais pleine lune
Jamais ne t'aimerai
Le petit clair de lune
Emporté par un nuage
En pleurant son infortune
Dans l'océan fit naufrage
Et regardant la cruelle
Il se noya pour elle
Tiens tiens tiens se dit l'étoile
Tiens tiens tiens je n'ai pas d'amoureux
Qui le vaille c'était donc si sérieux
Le petit clair de lune
La voyant frôler les vagues
Lui proposa sans rancune
Tout son cœur contre une bague
Alors elle pour lui plaire
Se jeta dans la mer
Alors elle pour lui plaire
Se jeta dans la mer
Alors elle pour lui plaire
Se jeta dans la mer

Blackheart Man
Blackheart Man
Composer(s): Bunny O'Riley
Performer(s): Bunny Wailer
Tikya the Blackheart Man, children
I say, don't go near him
Tikya the Blackheart Man children
For even lions fear him
For even lions fear him
Growing in a neighbourhood for such along time
That is filled with fear
I can't go here, can't go there
And I ain't supposed to go anywhere
When I ask my Mom if she could let me go out and play
She said be careful of the stranger
Giving candies to children
And then take them away
He lives in the gullies of the city
He's the Blackheart Man (The blackheart Man)
Even in the lonely parts of the country
He's the Blackheart Man, Blackheart Man
Got no friend, no home, no family
He's the Blackheart 'Man, The Blackheart Man
He is famed to live just like the Gypsy
He's the Blackheart 'Man, The Blackheart Man
Growing and learning and gathering, for myself a little more
experience jumping over the fence
Curiousity has brought me yes it's brought me, a little common-sense
Trodding the road of life, I've come to this one conclusion
That everything is equal under the sun, all that is createdby Jah's mighty hand
And he said knock and it shall be opened
Seek and Ye shall find that wisdom is found in the simplest of places
In the nick of time, knock and it shall be opened
Seek and ye shall find that wisdom is found in the simplest of places, in the nick of time
and now I trod the same road of aflictions
just like the Blackheart Man, just like the Blackheart Man
Getting my share of humiliation just like the Blackheart Man
Just like the Blackheart Man
You'll find me even in the prison of the dungeons
just like the Blackheart Man, just like the the Blackheart Man
I even get blamed without a reason just like the Blackheart Man
Just like the Blackheart man yau
No cross, no crown, no sorrow, no trial and crosses In-a-I way
But the hotter the battle is the sweeter Jah Jah victory
Ancient children use to say if you want good
Your nose got to run run run
How could the world go free, and let Jah bear the cross alone
And them that drink of the old wine hath no place for the new
For the new and the stones that are head of the corner
are the same ones that the builders refused
Now, it's the Blackheart Man, children
Who've become the wonder of the city
Who've become the wonder of the city

Black-Eyed Susan
Black-Eyed Susan
(Traditional)
All in the dawn the fleet was moor'd
The streamers waving to the wind
When Black-eyed Susan came on board
Oh where shall I my true love find?
Tell me, ye jovial sailors, tell me true
If my sweet William, if my sweet William
Sails among your crew?
Oh William, who high upon the yard
Rocked with the billows to and fro
Soon as her well-known voice he heard
He sigh'd and cast his eyes below
The cord slides swiftly thro' his glowing hands
And as quick as lightning, and as quick as lightning
On the deck he stands
So sweet the lark, high poised in air
Shuts close his pinions to his breast
If, chance, his mate's shrill voice he hear
And drops at once into her nest
The noblest captain in the British fleet
Might envy William, might envy William's
Lip those kisses sweet
'Oh Susan, Susan, lovely dear!
My vows shall ever true remain
Let me kiss off that falling tear
We only part to meet again
Change as ye list, ye winds, my heart shall be
The faithful compass, the faithful compass
That still points to thee
'Oh, believe not what the landsmen say
Who tempt with doubts thy constant mind
They'll tell thee sailors when away
In every port a mistress find
Yes, yes, believe them when they tell thee so
For thou art present, for thou art present
Wheresoe'er I go
If to fair India's coast we sail
Thy eyes are seen in diamonds bright
Thy breath is Afric's spicy gale
Thy skin as ivory so white
Thus every beauteous object that I view
Wakes in my soul, wakes in my soul
Some charm of lovely Sue'
Though battle call me from thy arms
Let not my pretty Susan mourn
Though cannon roar, yet safe from harms
William shall to his dear return
Love turns aside the balls that round me fly
Lest precious tears, lest precious tears
Should drop from Susan's eye
The boatswain gave the dreadful word
Her sails their swelling bosom spread
No longer can she stay on board
They kissed, she sighed, he hung his head
Her lessening boat unwilling rows to land
'Adieu,' she cries, 'Adieu,' she cries
And waved her lily hand

Le Petit Cheval
Le Petit Cheval
Composer(s): Georges Brassens - Paul Fort
Performer(s): Georges Brassens; Maxime le Forestier
Le petit cheval dans le mauvais temps
Qu'il avait donc du courage
C'était un petit cheval blanc
Tous derrière et lui devant
Il n'y avait jamais de beau temps
Dans ce pauvre paysage
Il n'y avait jamais de printemps
Ni derrière ni devant
Mais toujours il était content
Menant les gars du village
A travers la pluie noire des champs
Tous derrière et lui devant
Sa voiture allait poursuivant
Sa belle petite queue sauvage
C'est alors qu'il était content
Tous derrière et lui devant
Mais un jour, dans le mauvais temps
Un jour qu'il était si sage
Il est mort par un éclair blanc
Tous derrière et lui devant
Il est mort sans voir le beau temps
Qu'il avait donc du courage
Il est mort sans voir le printemps
Ni derrière ni devant

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see

You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Le Petit Brouillard
Le Petit Brouillard
Composer(s): Francis Lai - Jacques Plante
Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Toujours ce sale petit brouillard
Toujours ce sale petit cafard
Qui vous transperce jusqu'aux os
Et qui se colle à votre peau
Il me semble le voir encore
Le soir où son copain du port
Lui apporta le faux passeport
Et son visa pour Buenos Aires
J'ignore ce qu'il avait fait
Je n'avais compris qu'une chose
Que sa dernière chance était
Qu'il prenne ce navire à l'aube
Et quand vint l'heure du départ
Je reçus son dernier regard
Dans le petit matin blafard
Déchiré par les sirènes
Toujours ce sale petit brouillard
Toujours ce sale petit cafard
Qui nous transperce jusqu'aux os
Et qui se colle à votre peau
La passerelle était levée
Et c'est quand je l'ai cru sauvé
Que des hommes sont arrivés
Et l'on fait redescendre à terre
J'ignore ce qu'il avait fait
Mais, pour ne pas me compromettre
Il passa menottes aux poignets
Sans avoir l'air de me connaître
Et depuis qu'ils l'ont emmené
Je pense à lui des jours entiers
En regardant les longs courriers
Diminuer et disparaître
Toujours ce sale petit brouillard
Toujours ce sale petit cafard
Toujours ce sale petit brouillard
Toujours ce sale petit cafard
Toujours ce sale petit brouillard
Toujours ce sale petit cafard...

Italian Title: Tutta Mia La Città
Composer(s): Roy Wood
Originally performed by: The Move
Covered by various other artists
Blackberry way, absolutely pouring down with rain
It's a terrible day, up wih the lark
Silly girl I don't know what to say
She was running away
So now I'm standing on the corner
Lost in the things that I said
What am I supposd to do now
Chorus
Goodbye Blackberry Way, I can't see you, I don't need you
Goodbye Blackberry Way, syre to want me back another day
Down to the park, overgrowing but the trees are bare
There's a mmory there
Boats on the lake unattended
Now the laughter's drowned I'm incredibly down
Just like myself they are neglected, turn with my eyes to the wall
What am I supposed to do now
Chorus
Oooh-la Oooh-la oo Ooh
Oooh-la Oooh-la oo Ooh
Run for the train look behind you for she may be there
Said a thing in the air
Blackberry Way se the battle field of careless sins
Cast to the winds so full of emptiness without her
Lost in the words that I said
What am I supposed to do now
Chorus
(repeat)

Le P'tit Bonheur
Le P'tit Bonheur
((Italian Version: Il Piccolo Amore (by Dalida))
Composer(s): Félix Leclerc
Performer(s): Félix Leclerc
and multiple other artists
C'est un petit bonheur
Que j'avais ramassé
Il était tout en pleurs
Sur le bord d'un fossé
Quand il m'a vu passer
Il s'est mis à crier
Madame, ramassez-moi chez vous, amenez-moi
Mes frères m'ont oublié je suis tombé, je suis malade
Si vous n'me cueillez point je vais mourir quelle ballade
Je me ferai petit, tendre et soumis je vous le jure
Madame, je vous en prie délivrez-moi de ma torture
J'ai pris le p'tit bonheur
L'ai mis sous mes haillons
J'ai dit faut pas qu'il meurt
Viens donc dans ma maison
Alors le p'tit bonheur
A fait sa guérison
Sur le bord de mon cœur
Y avait une chanson
Mes jours, mes nuits, mes peines , mes veilles, mon mal, tout fut oublié
Ma vie de désœuvrée j'avais dégoût d'la recommencer
Quand il pleuvait dehors ou qu'mes amis amis m'faisaient des peines
J'prenais mon p'ti bonheur et j'lui disais c'est toi que j'aime
Mon bonheur a fleuri
Il a fait des bourgeons
C'était le paradis
Ça s'voyait sur mon front
Or un matin joli
Que je sifflais ce refrain
Mon bonheur est parti
Sans me donner la main
J'eu beau le supplier, le cajoler, lui faire des scènes
Lui montrer le grand trou qu'il me faisait au fond du cœur
Il s'en allait toujours la tête haute, sans joie sans haine
Comme s'il ne pouvait plus voir le soleil dans ma demeure
J'ai bien pensé mourir
De chagrin et d'ennui
J'avais cessé de rire
C'était toujours la nuit
Il me restait l'oubli
Il me restait l'mépris
Enfin que j'me suis dit
Il me reste la vie
J'ai repris mon bâton, mes deuils, mes peines et mes bagages
Et je bats la semelle dans des pays de malheureux
Aujourd'hui quand je pars à l'aventure et en voyage
Je fais un grand détour ou bien je me ferme les yeux
Je fais un grand détour ou bien je me ferme les yeux

Black, Brown And White
Composer(s): Big Bill Broonzy
Performer(s): Big Bill Broonzy;
Brownie McGhee; Faith Nolan
This little song that I'm singin' about
People you know it's true
If you're black and gotta work for a living
This is what they will say to you
They says if you was white, should be all right
If you was brown, stick around
But as you's black, m-mm brother, git back git back git back
I was in a place one night
They was all having fun
They was all byin' beer and wine
But they would not sell me none
They said if you was white, should be all right
If you was brown, stick around
But if you black, m-mm brother, git back git back git back
Me and a man was workin' side by side
This is what it meant
They was paying him a dollar an hour
And they was paying me fifty cent
They said if you was white, 't should be all right
If you was brown, could stick around
But as you black, m-mm boy, git back git back git back
I went to an employment office
Got a number 'n' I got in line
They called everybody's number
But they never did call mine
They said if you was white, should be all right
If you was brown, could stick around
But as you black, m-mm brother, git back git back git back
I hope when sweet victory
With my plough and hoe
Now I want you to tell me brother
What you gonna do about the old Jim Crow?
Now if you was white, should be all right
If you was brown, could stick around
But if you black, whoa brother, git back git back git back

Black Velvet Band
Black Velvet Band
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Dubliners
and various other artists
In a neat little town they call Belfast
Apprentice to trade I was bound
Many an hours sweet happiness
Have I spent in that neat little town
A sad misfortune came o'er me
Which caused me to stray from the land
Far away from my friends and relations
Betrayed by the black velvet band
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair, it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band
I took a stroll down Broadway
Meaning not long for to stay
When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid
Come a tripping along the highway
She was both fair and handsome
Her neck it was just like a swans
And her hair it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair, it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band
I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid
And a gentleman passing us by
Well I knew she meant the doing of him
By the look in her roguish black eye
A gold watch she took from his pocket
And placed it right into my hand
And the very first thing that I said
Was bad luck to the black velvet band
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band
Before the judge and the jury
Next morning I had to appear
The judge he says to me
"Young man, your case it is proven clear
We'll give you seven years penal servitude
To be spent faraway from this land
Far away from your friends and companions
Betrayed by the black velvet band"
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band
So come all you jolly young fellows
A warning take by me
When you are out on the town, me lads
Beware of them pretty colleens
For they feed you with strong drink, oh yeah
'Til you are unable to stand
And the very next thing that you'll know is
You've landed in Van Diemens Land
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band
