Mooning


Mooning
Composer(s): Warren Casey; Jim Jacobs
Performer(s): Louis St. Louis
and various other artists



I spend my days just mooning
so sad and blue
so sad and blue I spend my nights just mooning
all over you (all over who?)
Oh I'm so full of love, as any fool can see
Cause ages up above, have hung the moon on me
(Why must you go) why must I go on mooning
so all alone (so all alone)
There would be no (there would be no) more mooning
if you would call me (I've found a phone)
I'm lying by myself in bed, I cry and give myself the red eye
Mooning over you I'll stay behind
(you'll stay behind) you mooning forevermore (forevermore)
Someday you'll find (someday we'll find)
me mooning at your front door (at my front door)
Oh, everyday at school I want ya, always will until I got ya
Mooning too (there's a moon up tonight)

L'uomo E La Nuvola


L'uomo E La Nuvola
Performer(s): Angelo Branduardi



Lui l'amò come la vide
così bianca e inafferrabile
"Lontana sei ed io non ho
la scala per il cielo"
Lei serena lo guardò
ed al vento si distese ...
e lui seguì sospirando
lei che, per gioco, navigava per il cielo
Lunghi anni lui l'amò
sempre bianca e inafferrabile
"Crudele sei e il tuo candore
nasconde solo gelo"
Lei turbata lo guardò
e al suo pianto poi si arrese ...
Ed una tenere pioggia
lei gli donò
consumandosi d'amore

Moonglow


Moonglow
Composer(s): Eddie De Lange; Will Hudson; Irving Mills
Originally performed by: Eddie De Lange
Covered by various other artists



It must have been moonglow, way up in the blue
It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you
I still hear you sayin', "Dear one, hold me fast"
And I keep on prayin', "Oh Lord, please let this last"

We seemed to float right through the air
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere

And now when there's moonglow, way up in the blue
I'll always remember, that moonglow gave me you

It must have been moonglow, way up in the blue
It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you
I still hear you sayin', "Sweet child, hold me fast"
And I keep on prayin', "Oh Lord, please let this last"

We seemed to float right through the air
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere

And now when there's moonglow, way up in the blue
I'll always remember, that moonglow gave me you

Autant Chercher À Retenir Le Vent


Autant Chercher À Retenir Le Vent
((Adapted from: Catch The Wind (Donovan) - 1965))
Composer(s): Donovan - Richard Anthony
Performer(s): Richard Anthony - 1965



Dans les moments sans espoir
Où l'on ne sait plus qu'être perdu
On a peur de la nuit qui descend
Je voudrais, près de toi, attendre le matin
Mais je sais bien
Autant chercher à retenir le vent

Sur des plages mouillées
Nous irions tous les deux et dans tes yeux
Je verrais le feu du soleil se couchant
Je voudrais te garder bien loin du monde entier
Mais je le sais
Autant chercher à retenir le vent

Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

Quand la pluie pend des larmes aux fleurs
C'est dans ton coeur, dans sa chaleur,
Que je voudrais pleurer comme un enfant
Il faudrait que tu m'aimes au moins quelques instants
Mais je le sens
Autant chercher à retenir le vent

Autant chercher à retenir le vent

Moondreams


Moondreams
Composer(s): Norman Petty
Performer(s): Buddy Holly



Strange things take place in my moondreams
as the lonely and loveless hours go by
your face takes its place in every moonbeam
moondreams bring thoughts gentle as a sigh
Moondreams can be a sensation
moondreams may be fascination
love can be our destination
you and I can share this dream
Wishing for you in my moondreams
as the lonely and loveless hours go by
will do until you can share all my dreams
moondreams - moondreams
moondreams brought by moonbeams in the sky

L'uomo Che Si Gioca Il Cielo A Dadi


L'uomo Che Si Gioca Il Cielo A Dadi
Composer(s): Roberto Vecchioni
Performer(s): Roberto Vecchioni



Chi guarda dalla strada
non ci crederebbe mai
io vado a letto adesso
e tu sei in piedi dalle sei
tu stai pescando ed io
sta notte ho amato chissà chi
ho la camicia fuori e sono qui

Ti leggo dentro gli occhi
"Figlio mio come ti va?"
E come vuoi che vada
come sempre, siamo qua
ti vedo così poco
ma soltanto tu sei tu
con quelli là non se la faccio più

Papà, lasciamo tutti e andiamo via
Papà, lasciamo tutto e andiamo via

Tu li hai giocati tutti
senza avere in mano i re
pien e cavalli o niente
tutto il resto che cos'è?
Ti sei giocato donne
che impazzivano per te
eppure un giorno hai pianto in un caffè

Ci sono stati giorni
da piantare tutto lì
eppure li hai giocati
sorridendomi così
per te l'estate non comincia
e non finisce mai
è vivere la vita come fai

papà, lasciamo tutti e andiamo via
papà, lasciamo tutto e andiamo via

E quando verrà l'ora
di partire, vecchio mio
scommetto che ti giochi
il cielo a dadi anche con Dio
e accetterà lo giuro
purché in cielo, dove sta
se non ti rassomiglia che ci fa?

Moondance


Moondance
Composer(s): Van Morrison
Originally performed by: Van Morrison
Covered by various other artists



Well it's a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
You know the night's magic
Seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight
Seems to shine in your blush...

Can I just have one a' more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with a' you, my love?

Well I wanna make love to you tonight
I can't wait till the morning has come
And I know now the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you're never alone
There and then all my dreams will come true dear
There and then I will make you my own
And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know how much you want me that, you can't hide...

Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?

Well it's a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
You know the night's magic
Seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight
Seems to shine in your blush...

One more moondance with you
In the moonlight
On a magic night
la, la, la, la, there's a moonlight
On a magic night
Can't I just have one more dance
With you my love?

L'uomo


L'uomo
Performer(s): Francesco Guccini



Senza l'ultima parola
frase saggia da citarsi
piegò il capo sul cuscino
quasi per addormentarsi
senza un grido, senza un nome
senza motti, senza un suono
né rumori di battaglie era morto un altro uomo
Restò solo qualcosa che volò
nell'aria calma e poi svanì
per dove non sapremo mai
C'era buio nella stanza
di malato un greve odore
e una lieve pazza danza di mosconi in amore
Lievi ronzan le preghiere
poi qualcuno se n'è accorto
si alzò atroce nella sera
solo un chiaro grido "E' morto!"
Restò solo qualcosa che volò
nell'aria calma e poi svanì
per dove non sapremo mai
Svelti accorrono gli astanti
"Com'è morto? Com'è andata?"
sfrigolava ormai sui pianti
la candela già bruciata
Gli composero le braccia
si riavviò la rada chioma
ondeggiava sulla faccia
del rosario la corona
Restò solo qualcosa che volò
nell'aria calma e poi svanì
per dove non sapremo mai
Si frugò dentro ai ricordi
di una vita ormai finita
si guardò dentro ai cassetti
colmi di carta ingiallita
Questa foto è per la figlia
l'orologio qui a chi tocca?
meglio gli chiudiate gli occhi
meglio chiudergli la bocca
Restò solo qualcosa che volò
nell'aria calma e poi svanì
per dove non sapremo mai
Si riuniscono i parenti
si rincorrono i ricordi
già si parla delle spese
già si senton pianti sordi
Qualche spicciolo lasciato
provocò parole accese
che volarono sul letto
e copriron le candele
Restò solo qualcosa che volò
nell'aria calma e poi svanì
per dove non sapremo mai
Uno schiaffo fa tacere
anche i giochi dei bambini
sono calate le serrande
neri sfilano i vicini
Le ghirlande hanno gettato
la tristezza sulle scale
fra i parenti addolorati
se ne scende il funerale
Restò ...
Una vita, quante cose
dice il prete in due parole
Lo ringraziano gli astanti
via l'inverno, c'è già il sole
Chiacchiere, risate lievi
vanno per il cimitero
restan fiori con le scritte
resta al vento un drappo nero
Restò ...

Moonchild


Moonchild
Composer(s): Robert Fripp; Michael Giles;
Greg Lake; Ian McDonald; Peter Sinfield
Performer(s): King Crimson



Call her moonchild
Dancing in the shallows of a river
Lonely moonchild
Dreaming in the shadow
of the willow

Talking to the trees of the
cobweb strange
Sleeping on the steps of a fountain
Waving silver wands to the
night-birds song
Waiting for the sun on the mountain

She's a moonchild
Gathering the flowers in a garden
Lovely moonchild
Drifting on the echoes of the hours

Sailling on the wind
in a milk white gown
Dropping circle stones on a sun dial
Playing hide and seek
with the ghosts of dawn
Waiting for a smile from a sun child

Lune Rouge


Lune Rouge
Composer(s): J.P. Blanc - H. Grant
Performer(s): Nicoletta



Dans ton ventre arrondi, tu m'as appris
À ne pas m'effrayer dans le noir
Tu murmurais des mélodies
Des berceuses prémonitoires
Plus personne ne venait sur tes genoux
À la maison, même les chats filaient doux
Avec mon père, vous dormiez serrés ensemble
Afin que je grandisse et que je lui ressemble

Tu mangeais du poisson de rivière
Pour que je puisse me glisser
Avec vivacité
De l'eau vers la lumière

Lune Rouge, Lune Rouge, Lune Rouge
Ma naissance a eu lieu à la pointe du jour
Lune Rouge, Lune Rouge, Lune Rouge
Petits pieds nus langés d'argile, langés d'amour

Mes frères ont attendu chez les voisins
Mon père caressait doucement ton ventre
Mammie conjurait l'incertain
La sage femme était patiente
Aussi tendue qu'un cheval sauvage
Des mains tentaient de te maintenir sage
Comme un rubis qui, de sa gangue, jaillit
Je suis venue au monde en poussant un long cri

Avec un canif à faire les flûtes
T'as coupé, en ancienne
Pour que je sois musicienne
Le cordon d'un coup brut

Lune Rouge, Lune Rouge, Lune Rouge
Ma naissance a eu lieu à la pointe du jour
Lune Rouge, Lune Rouge, Lune Rouge
Petits pieds nus langés d'argile, langés d'amour

Quoiqu'il arrive, enroulé dans mon cœur
Un grand chemin d'amertume, en douceur
M'amènera toujours vers la même maison
Où le ciel et la terre sont le sang de ton nom

Lune Rouge, Lune Rouge, Lune Rouge
Ma naissance a eu lieu à la pointe du jour
Lune Rouge, Lune Rouge, Lune Rouge
Petits pieds nus langés d'argile, langés d'amour

Lune Rouge, Lune Rouge, Lune Rouge
Ma naissance a eu lieu à la pointe du jour
Lune Rouge, Lune Rouge, Lune Rouge
Petits pieds nus langés d'argile, langés d'amour

Moonburn


Moonburn
Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael; Edward Heyman
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and various other artists



Now, if you're thinkin' that I'm lookin' somewhat tanner
Don't go blamin' it on the sun
It's the moonlight and the sweetness in your manner
That's makin' me the healthy one
When the moon hangs low, I begin to glow
And my day has just begun

I'm gonna get a moonburn when I'm with you tonight
So very soon, I'll moonburn when you hold me tight
I'll ask the glowing stars up above me
What your lips will impart
And when they flash the word that you love me
You know it's gonna warm my heart
I'll get a brand new moonburn with every kiss from you
And if I have my way, get my say, you'll get a moonburn, too

Oh, I'm catchin' me some moonburn, when I getcha alone with me tonight
So very soon, I'll moonburn when you hold me tight
I'll ask the glowing stars up above me
Tell, me what your lips will impart
And when they flash the word that you love me
Ooh, it'll warm my heart

I'm get me a brand new kind of a moonburn
With ev'ry kiss I get from you
And if I get my way, get my say, you'll get a moonburn, too
Keep under cover, you'll get a moonburn, too

Lunch Break: Peak Hour


Lunch Break: Peak Hour
Composer(s): John Lodge - Peter Knight
Performer(s): The Moody Blues; London Festival Orch.; Peter Knight



I see it all through my window it seems
Never failing, like millions of bees
Pull out the drawer, no time to be won
Only to do, what can be done?

Peak hour, peak hour, peak hour

Minds are subject to what should be done
Problem solved, time cannot be won
One hour a day, one hour a night
She's trying to be, ooh
Home, in full flight

Peak hour, peak hour, peak hour

It makes me want to run out
And tell them, they've got time
Take a step back out and look in
I've found out, I've got time

Minds are subject to what should be done
Problem solved, time cannot be won
One hour a day, one hour a night
She's trying to be, ooh
Home, in full flight

Peak hour, peak hour, peak hour

Moon Song


Moon Song
Composer(s): Sam Coslow; Arthur Johnston
Originally performed by: Kate Smith
Covered by various other artists



It came from nowhere the night that we met
Was like a melodious plea
Sweet moon song
That wasn’t meant for me

Why is it always reminding me of
A love dream that never could be
Sweet moon song
That wasn’t meant for me

It came gliding into my heart riding
on a moon beam from above
Sorrow ended and the whole world blended
In a rhapsody of love; then

I heard her singing to somebody else
What I thought was my melody
Sweet moon song
That wasn’t meant for me

Lunatic Asylum
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg



Le petit lapin de Playboy ronge mon crâne végétal
Shoe shine boy
Oh Marilou petit chou
Qui me roulait entre ses doigts comme du caporal
Me suçotait comme un cachou
Et savait le dialecte chou
Poupoupidou
Tu sais ma Lou
Dans cette blanche clinique
Neuropsychiatrique
A force de patience et d'inaction
J'ai pu dresser un hanneton
Sur ma tête héliport
L'hélicoléoptère
De ses élytres d'or
Refermant l'habitacle
Incline ses antennes
Porteuses d'sos
Mais merde les phalènes
Frémissantes de stress
Interceptent en vol ...
Mes signaux de détresse
Manque de bol
Les parasites de Radio Pou
On brouillé mes messages fou
Que j'étais de toi Marilou

Moon Shadow
Composer(s): Cat Stevens
Originally performed by: Cat Stevens
Covered by various other artists



Yes I'm bein' followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Leapin' and hoppin' on a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow

And if I ever lose my hands
Lose my plough, lose my land
Oh if I ever lose my hands
Oh if
I won't have to work no more

And if I ever lose my eyes
If my colors all run dry
Yes if I ever lose my eyes
Oh if
I won't have to cry no more

Yes I'm bein' followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Leapin' and hoppin' on a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow

And if I ever lose my legs
I won't moan and I won't beg
Oh if I ever lose my legs
Oh if
I won't have to walk no more

And if I ever lose my mouth
All my teeth, North and South
Oh if I ever lose my mouth
Oh if
I won't have to talk

"Did it take long to find me?"
I asked the faithful light
"Did it take long to find me?
And are you gonna stay the night?"

I'm bein' followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Leapin' and hoppin' on a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow

Moon shadow, moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow

Yo quisiera contar una historia de amor
la historia de la luna que nos hace soñar

Luna, luna, luna mi compañera fiel
luna, luna, luna esfera de papel

Mira lunita querida mi vida no es vida
si está sin amor
Piensa que tú en el olvido
también has sufrido
desdenes del sol

Luna, luna, luna en donde está mi amor

Mira lunita querida mi vida no es vida
si está sin amor
Piensa que tú en el olvido
también has sufrido
desdenes del sol

Luna, luna, luna en donde está mi amor

Luna Tucumana


Luna Tucumana
Composer(s): Atahualpa Yupanqui
Performer(s): Mercedes Sosa
and multiple other artists



Yo no le canto a la luna
porque alumbra y nada más
le canto porque ella sabe
de mi largo caminar
Ay lunita tucumana!
tamborcito calchaquí
compañera de los gauchos
en las sendas de Tafí

Perdido en las cerrazones
¿quién sabe, vidita, por dónde andaré?
Mas cuando salga la luna
cantaré, cantaré
a mi Tucumán querido
cantaré, cantaré, cantaré

Con esperanza o con pena
en los campos de Acheral
yo he visto a la luna buena
besando el cañaveral

En algo nos parecemos
luna de la soledad
yo voy andando y cantando
que es mi modo de alumbrar

Perdido en las cerrazones ...

Moon River, wider than a mile
I'm crossin' you in style someday
Old dream maker, you heartbreaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waitin' round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon River and me

Luna Rossa (Blushing Moon)


Luna Rossa (Blushing Moon)
Composer(s): Kermit Goell
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



Oh luna rossa, you're out tonight
A moon of red in a sky of white
Because I'm selling a lie tonight
And blushing moon, you know of it
Oh luna rossa, you're smart at love
You know I'm playing the part of love
I try my hand in the art of love
Just for the thrill and glow of it
Luna rossa, forgive me, luna rossa
For the vows I made tonight that are untrue
What else am I to do?
But blushing moon, there's a reason why
The love I longed for has passed me by
And so I play at the game but I
I am lonely, luna rossa
Luna rossa, forgive me, luna rossa
For the vows I made tonight that are untrue
What else am I to do?
But blushing moon, there's a reason why
The love I longed for has passed me by
And so I play at the game but I
I am lonely, luna rossa
I am lonely, luna rossa
