Restera-T-Il Un Chant D'Oiseau
Restera-T-Il Un Chant D'Oiseau
Composer(s): Claude Delecluse
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Que restera-t-il sur la terre
Dans cinquante ans
On empoisonne les rivières
Les océans
On mange des hydrocarbures
Que sais-je encore
Le Rhône charrie du mercure
Des poissons morts
Pour les enfants des temps nouveaux
Restera-t-il un chant d'oiseau
Le monde a perdu la boussole
Qu'a-t-il gagné
Des plages noires de pétrole
Pour se baignier
L'atome va régner sur terre
Comme un Seigneur
Qu'en ferons-nous c'est une affaire
Qui me fait peur
Pour les enfants des temps nouveaux
Restera-t-il un chant d'oiseau
A peine le malheur des hommes
Est-il moins grand
Que déjà pourrissent les pommes
Des nouveaux temps
Enfants enfants la terre est ronde
Criez plus fort
Pour que se réveille le monde
S'il n'est pas mort
Pour les enfants des temps nouveaux
Restera-t-il un chant d'oiseau

The River Of Jordan
The River Of Jordan
Composer(s): Hazel Houser
Performer(s): The Louvin Brothers
and multiple other artists
To the River Of Jordan our Savior went one day
And we read that John The Baptist met Him there
And when John baptized Jesus in Jordan's rushing waters
The mighty power of God filled the air
I'm on my way to the River Of Jordan
Gonna wade right in to the rushing waters
I'm going down to the River Of Jordan
And let the cool waters cleanse my soul
King Naaman was stricken with dreaded leprosy
And he sent for the man of God to pray
But Elisha said to Naaman "go dip yourself in Jordan"
And let the cool waters wash your spots away
So he went right down to the River Of Jordan
He waded right in the rushing waters
He dipped himself in the River Of Jordan
And the cool waters made him whole
Oh the River Of Jordan is many miles away
And this mighty river I may never see
But I'll find myself an alter in an old fashioned church
And my River Of Jordan that will be

Cleopatra
Cleopatra
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Resbalando los dedos por el agua
al pie de su ciudad vieja y caída
sin esclavos ni antonios, junto al Nilo
vi un día a Cleopatra compungida
Qué puede hacer un trovador entonces
sino inmediatamente enamorarse
cantar una canción, hablar un poco
tratar de hacerse ver: fingir ahogarse
Por más que quise hacer menos salía
canté y hablé quizas exagerando
pero ningún sonido le alzó el rostro
y comprendí lo que estaba pasando
Sucedía que la reina y el paisaje
que yo creía ver, había sido
la húmeda versión que me dio el rio
puesto que me encontraba sumergido

The River Of Dreams
The River Of Dreams
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To a river so deep
I must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And its too hard to cross
And even though I know the river is wide
I walk down in the evening and I stand on the shore
And try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
And I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I would never lose
Something somebody stole
I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesnt take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is that I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To a river so deep
I know I'm searching for something
Smething so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night
I'm not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That runs to the promised land
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night

Cleo
Cleo
Composer(s): Lee S. Roberts - J. Will Callahan
Pale moonlight!
A wondrous night!
My fancy takes its flight to Rainbow Isle
Swaying trees a truant breeze
All bring you to me just for a while
Some June night love's magic light
May guide your boat a right to Rainbow Isle
O'er the sea of memory
Some time, in the golden
After while
Cleo, I see only you
And the dream makes me lonesome and blue
Brings back that moment divine
When I fancied your heart answered mine
Cleo, 'twill be only you
And I'd give all this world if you knew
Just how I'm yearning, and wait for your returning
Come back to me
My Cleo, do!

Reste Encore Avec Moi
Reste Encore Avec Moi
Italian Title: Non Mi Dire Chi Sei
Composer(s): G. Calabrese;
U. Bindi; P.Delanoë
Performer(s): Dalida
Reste encore avec moi le temps de te dire un dernier je t'aime
Après tu partiras mais tu te souviendras
De nos anciennes joies quoi qu'il advienne
Reste encore avec moi le temps de pleurer mes dernières larmes
Après je sourirai, après je le promets
Je ne t'ennuierai plus jamais
Je voudrai tant que tu gardes en toi
Le souvenir de l'amour qui meurt
Je voudrai tant que viennent parfois
Danser mon ombre dans l'ombre de ton bonheur
Reste encore avec moi le temps de te dire un dernier je t'aime
Elles ont pour moi tant de prix les secondes
Où finit ma vie ou dans mon cœur tout s'effondre
Reste encore avec moi le temps de te dire un dernier je t'aime
Tu l'emporteras dans ton cœur dans tes rêves
Ce mot de bonheur qui vient mourir sur mes lèvres
Tu le sais ton départ c'est la fin de ce monde
De ce monde
Pour moi

The River Is Wide (The Kingston Trio)
The River Is Wide
Composer(s): Nick Reynolds
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio
The river is wide, I cannot see
Nor do I have light wings to fly
There'll be a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
My love is like the lofty tree
It shudders fears and then sways free
If it should fade when the summer's through
She'll bloom again when Spring shines through
When love is young, then love is fine
Just like a gem when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like the morning dew
The river is wide, I cannot see
Nor do I have light wings to fly
There'll be a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I

Clémentine
Clémentine
Composer(s): Jean Rougeul - Christiane Verger
Performer(s): Yves Montand
Sous un léger corsage qui fait des plis
Deux petits seins bien sages
Comme c'est joli
J'allais vers la colline
Sous un grand ciel tout bleu
Et je voyais briller les yeux
De Clémentine, de Clémentine
Elle descendait sur le chemin
Disait bonjour avec sa main
J'avais seize ans comme elle
Je la trouvais si belle
Que je n'osais pas lui parler
Et sur le bord de la rivière
Je la regardais s'en aller
Ses cheveux blonds comme une crinière
Et son jupon flottant si haut
Qu' on voyait ses jarretières
Elle a trébuché sur une pierre
Elle est tombée dans l'eau
Sous un léger corsage qui fait des plis
Deux petits seins bien sages
Comme c'est joli
J'allais vers la colline
Sous un grand ciel tout bleu
Et je voyais briller les yeux
De Clémentine, de Clémentine
Quand je l'ai vue tomber dans l'eau
Moi j'ai couru dans les roseaux
J'avais seize ans comme elle
Je ta trouvais si belle
Que j'ai plongé pour la sauver
Mais j'ai coulé dans la rivière
Car je ne savais pas nager
C'est elle qui m'a ramené à terre
Toute mouillée contre mon corps
Sa poitrine était douce
Nous étions couchés sur la mousse
Elle m' a serré très fort
Un peu beaucoup et même
À la folie
La première fois qu'on aime
Comme c'est joli
Les amours enfantines
Quels secrets merveilleux
Je vois toujours briller les yeux
De Clémentine, de Clémentine

Reste (Edith Piaf)
Reste
Composer(s): Pierre Bayle; Jacques Simonot
Performer(s): Edith Piaf
On s'était quittés tous les deux
Et, brusquement, là, c'est curieux
On se retrouve face à face
On croyait ne plus se revoir
Puisqu'après une scène, un soir
Je t'ai dit: "Pars! Que tout s'efface!"
Maintenant que tout est bien fini
Et que nos cœurs se sont repris
Ne pensons plus qu'aux jolis gestes
Causons en amis, simplement
Non! Ne pars pas! Rien qu'un moment...
Allons, voyons, je t'en prie...
Reste...
Reste, que nous parlions un peu
Du temps où nous étions heureux
Car nous le fûmes, j'imagine
En cet instant mon cœur ému
Vraiment, ne se rappelle plus...
Que de nos minutes divines
Le mal que nous nous sommes fait
Petit à petit, disparaît
Lorsque j'évoque tout le reste
Ta main frémit entre mes doigts...
Tu te rappelles... alors pourquoi
Vouloir t'en aller déjà?
Reste...
Reste! A moins qu'au fond de ton cœur
Plus rien existe, j'en ai peur
Ta vie serait-elle à une autre?
...Oui? Alors, tu ne me m'aimes plus!
Un nouvel amour est venu
Remplacer la trace du nôtre
Ah! Tu vas la retrouver ce soir...
Aussi, quel désir, quel espoir
En toi soudain se manifestent
Oh non! Pas encore! Je ne veux pas!...
Tu n'iras pas entre ses bras!
Tu n'iras pas, entends-tu?
Reste!
Reste! Oh pardon!... Je souffre trop!
Je suis là et je dis des mots
Qui te laissent voir ma détresse...
Sans toi, chaque nuit je pleurais
Et, te retrouvant, j'espérais
Au moins un élan de tendresse...
Mais quoi? Des larmes dans tes yeux?
Est-ce un remords, est-ce un adieu?
Vois, je n'ai plus qu'un dernier geste
Et c'est de t'offrir mon pauvre cœur
Où survit tout notre bonheur...
Oh! Chéri!... Tu restes!... Tu restes...

The River Is Wide (The Grassroots)
The River Is Wide
Composer(s): Baker Knight - Billy Admire
Performer(s): The Grassroots; Forum
The sky was clear on that windy day
'Til the clear blue sky began to turn to gray
The lightning flashed, the thunder roared above
Then fell a drop of rain to start our love
Let the river get wide, the river gets long, now
The water runs deep as our love gets strong now
So baby don't you fight and say you belong now to me...
Upon the roof we heard the gentle rain
Wth the rhythm of our heartbeats down it came
As it hit each rock our hearts could feel the pain
No one on earth can stop a drop of rain
And the river get wide, the river gets long, now
The water runs deep as our love gets strong now
So baby don't you fight and say you belong now to me...
Let the river get wide, the river gets long, now
The water runs deep as our love gets strong now
So baby don't you fight and say you belong now to me, yea
Let the river get wide, the river gets long, now
The water runs deep as our love gets strong now
So baby don't you fight and say you belong now to me
Let the river get wide, the river gets long, now

Clementine
Clementine
Composer(s): Woody Harris
Performer(s): Bobby Darin
In a cavern down by a canyon
Excavatin' for a mine
There lived a miner from North Carolina
And his daughter, chubby Clementine
Now every mornin', just about dawnin'
A'when the sun begins to shine
You know she would rouse up, wake all a dem cows up
And walk 'em down to her Daddy's mine
A'took the foot bridge, way 'cross the water
Though she weighed two-ninety nine
The old bridge trembled and disassembled
(Oops!) dumped her into the foamy brine
Hey, crackle like thunder, (ho, ho) she went under
(ho, ho) blowin bubbles (bubble sound) down the line
Hey, I'm no swimm'a but were she slimm'a
I might'a saved that Clementine
(Ho) broke the record, way under water
I thought that she was doin' fine.
I wasn't nervous ya until the service
That they held for Clementine
Hey you sailor (ho, ho) way out in your whaler
With a harpoon, your trusty line
If she shows now, yo, there she blows now
It just may be chunky Clementine
(One more time)
Oh my darlin', oh my darlin', oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin', oh my darlin' sweet Clementine
You may be gone
But!
You're not forgotten
Fare thee well
So long, Clementine
(Bubble sound) Bye!

The River
The River
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
Performer(s): Bruce Springsteen
I come from down in the valley
Where mister, when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
When she was just seventeen
We'd drive out of this valley down to where the fields were green
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we'd ride
Then I got Mary pregnant
And, man, that was all she wrote
And for my 19th birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
And the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle
No flowers, no wedding dress
That night we went down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we did ride
I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse,
that sends me
Down to the river
though I know the river is dry
That sends me down to the river tonight
Down to the river
My baby and I
Oh down to the river we ride

I wanna go ahead until I just run out of gas
We gotta beat the road with four-wheel thunder
There's a Cadillac dealer in Kansas City counting money
And the highway patrol ain't going nowhere
Don't say no, don't say no, don't make me grieve
Don't say no, don't say no, you gotta feel the breeze
On a clear night yeah, moonlight yeah
You and me and the car
Under a thousands stars
Clear night yeah, moonlight yeah
That's all the magic we need
So, don't you go turnin' my dream into a nightmare
Come on honey, let's ride right out of here
Imagine you and I, leavin' it all behind
Find another world, beyond the turnpike
There'll be lots of people uptight
Maybe some FBI, and your daddy screamin' bloody murder
Don't say no, don't say no, don't make me grieve
Don't say no, don't say no, you gotta feel the breeze
On a clear night yeah, moonlight yeah
You and me and the car
Under a thousands stars
Clear night yeah, moonlight yeah
That's all the magic we need
So, don't you go turnin' my dream into a nightmare
Come on honey, let's ride right out of here
Picture the two of us, we're so happy, so much in love
You know how the story goes
At the end of the rainbow
There's a bag of gold

The Ring Fell Under The Sofa
The Ring Fell Under The Sofa
Composer(s): Barnett - Fain
Performer(s): Billy Cotton
We would have been married for twenty two years
But the ring fell under the sofa
With her finger held high, I proposed with a sigh
But then nervously I missed the mark
We have our own house now all paid up in full
But the ring fell under the sofa
I’d have found it no doubt, but the lights were all out
And I can’t get about in the dark
A parlour search is now our game
The chairs are like new, no one’s sat in ‘em (sat in ‘em)
But when we’re through it’s always the same
No, no, no, no, no platinum
I lost the deposit but what do I care
We’re the best of sweethearts today
Yes the ring fell under the sofa
But maybe it’s better that way
That is the tale of a fellow
Who’d like to unburden his mind
Never was romance so hampered
By fate so severe and unkind
His story has yet to end
So pay strict attention, my friend
I fully intended to make her my wife
But the ring fell under the sofa
She’d have stood by my side, such a beautiful bride
While the clergyman tied up the knot (tied the knot)
By now I’d be hen-pecked and love might have died
But the ring fell under the sofa
And I’m happy to say when I found it next day
I just hid it away on the spot
A parlour search is now our game
The chairs are like new, no one’s sat in ‘em
But when we’re through it’s always the same
No, no, no, no, no platinum
We might have been married for better or worse
But I’m still a bachelor gay
For the ring fell under the sofa
And I like it better, and I like it better
Yes I like it better that way

Absolutely free
No rats aboard the magic ship
Of perfect harmony
Now it begins, let it begin
