Concerto For Two


Concerto For Two
Composer(s): Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky; Jack Lawrence
Performer(s): Anne Shelton; Ted Heath; Claude Thornhill



And when we meet, music starts
Upon the strings of our hearts
And we don't keep to the song
For words are weak when love is strong
And when we kiss there's a sound
Like violins all around
And then the moment when
We kiss again
Our song becomes a thrilling
Concerto for two
For me and you

Roses Blue


Roses Blue
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
Performer(s): Joni Mitchell



I think of tears, I think of rain on shingles
I think of rain, I think of roses blue
I think of Rose, my heart begins to tremble
To see the place she's lately gotten to
Gotten to, gotten to

She's gotten to mysterious devotions
She's gotten to the zodiac and Zen
She's gotten into tarot cards and potions
She's laying her religion on her friends
On her friends, on her friends

Friends who come to ask her for their future
Friends who come to find they can't be friends
Because of signs and seasons that don't suit her
She'll prophesy your death, she won't say when
Won't say when, won't say when

When all the black cards come you cannot barter
No, when all your stars are stacked you cannot win
She'll shake her head and treat you like a martyr
It is her blackest spell she puts you in
Puts you in, puts you in

In sorrow she can lure you where she wants you
Inside your own self-pity there you swim
In sinking down to drown her voice still haunts you
And only with your laughter can you win
Can you win, can you win

You win the lasting laurels with your laughter
It reaches like an arm before you sink
To win the solitary truth you're after
You dare not ask the priestess how to think
How to think, how to think

I think of tears, I think of rain on shingles
I think of rain, I think of roses blue
I think of Rose, my heart begins to tremble
To see the place she's lately gotten to
Gotten to, gotten to

(Theme From) Valley Of The Dolls


(Theme From) Valley Of The Dolls
Composer(s): André Previn - Dory Previn
Performer(s): Dionne Warwick; King Curtis



Gotta get off, gonna get
Have to get off from this ride
Gotta get hold, gonna get
Need to get hold of my pride

When did I get, where did I
How was I caught in this game
When will I know, where will I
How will I think of my name

When did I stop feeling sure, feeling safe
And start wondering why, wondering why
Is this a dream, am I here, where are you
What's in back of the sky, why do we cry

Gotta get off, gonna get
Out of this merry-go-round
Gotta get off, gonna get
Need to get on where I'm bound

When did I get, where did I
Why am I lost as a lamb
When will I know, where will I
How will I learn who I am

Is this a dream, am I here, where are you
Tell me, when will I know, how will I know
When will I know why?

Quand l'aurore vient éclore
Mais je suis bien loin de vous

Je pense à vous...
Je pense à vous...
Je pense à vous

Beyond the rim of starlight
My love is wand'ring star flight
I know he'll find in star clustered reaches
Love, strange love a star-woman teaches

I know his journey ends never
His star trek will go on forever
But tell him while he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me

Concerto


Concerto Composer(s): Morelli - Rossi Performer(s): Alunni Del Sole



Da dove sei venuta, io non so
la voce del tuo cuore
sarà magicamente discesa da lassù
dal mondo dell'amore
ricordo di una notte
che non finiva mai
Concerto, di un mare senza te
che suona e ti riporta a me
Giorni sul lungomare insieme a te
bruciavi più del sole
e gli occhi tuoi nel vento come i miei
in cerca dell'amore
ombre di una pineta
e un prato per sognare
Concerto, di un mare senza te
che suona e ti riporta a me
L'estate senza fine poi finì
e si gelò il mio cuore
la terra che girava intorno a noi
si allontanò dal sole
ricordo di una notte
che non finiva mai
Concerto, di un mare senza te
che suona e ti riporta a me

Roses Are Red (My Love)


Roses Are Red (My Love)
Composer(s): Al Byron; Paul Evans
Performer(s): Bobby Vinton;
and various other artists



Roses are red, my love ... doo, doo, da, doooo ...

A long, long time ago
On graduation day
You handed me your book
I signed this way

"Roses are red, my love
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, my love
But not as sweet as you"

We dated through high school
And when the big day came
I wrote into your book
next to my name

"Roses are red, my love
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, my love
But not as sweet as you"

Then I went far away
And you found someone new
I read your letter dear
And I wrote back to you

"Roses are red, my love
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, my love
But luck may god bless you

"Is that your little girl?
She looks a lot like you
Someday some boy will write
in her book, too

"Roses are red, my love
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, my love
But not as sweet as you"

When there's danger all about?

Shut your mouth!

He's a complicated man
But no one understands him but his woman

Con Un Poco De Amor


Con Un Poco De Amor
Performer(s): José Feliciano



Con un poco de amor sobrevivo
sobrevivo, pecado, castigo
Con un poco de amor yo me salvo
solo un poco de amor y soy algo

Con un poco de amor tanto me enriquecí
que gastaba y siempre quedaba
Mi poco de amor

Con un poco de amor me levanto
a mi diario de sed y de espanto
con un poco de amor yo progreso
canto himnos, me odian voy preso

Con un poco de amor tanto me enriquecí
que gastaba y siempre quedaba.....

Con un poco de amor fue tejida mi piel
y el cincel de mis huesos
fue un poco de amor
con un poco de amor
soy yo mismo, soy tu, soy aquel

Con un poco de amor deberé continuar
a pesar de que sumo mil pocos de amor
con un poco de amor
trabajando por un poco más.....

Con un poco de amor sobrevivo.....

://Que gastaba y siempre quedaba//:
Mi poco de amor

Roses Are Blooming


Roses Are Blooming
Composer(s): Doc Williams; Ed McCurdy
Performer(s): Don Williams;
and various other artists



The bright moon was shining, the night that we parted
I held you and kissed you and called you my own
With words sweet and tender you said that you loved me
And that you'll return when the roses bloom

Roses are blooming, come back to me, darling
Come back to me, darling, and never more roam
Robins are singing, church bells are ringing
Roses are blooming, so come back my own

The days have been long dear, the nights have been dreary
I've missed you my darling since you went away
But I still keep hoping that you will remember
That you will remember and come back someday

Roses are blooming, come back to me, darling
Come back to me, darling, and never more roam
Robins are singing, church bells are ringing
Roses are blooming, so come back my own

Ti Guarderò Nel Cuore


Ti Guarderò Nel Cuore
((English Version: More (Kay Winding) - 1963))
Composer(s): Nino Oliviero - Riz Ortolani
First release by: Riz Ortolani - 1962
Covered by multiple other artists



Se tu mi guardi in fondo al cuor, vedrai
un nome scritto con le nuvole
che ombre disegnano di favola
con la magia di un incantesimo

E se quel nome leggerai
una voce sentirai
la mia voce che ti dice
"T'amo, t'amo, t'amo"

Sulle parole che si spengono
cadono mille note tenere
e per la tua felicità
per la mia felicità
questo incanto resterà

E se la mia felicità
è la tua felicità
questo incanto resterà!

Con Un Beso Por Fusil


Con Un Beso Por Fusil
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



No se me ocurre otra manera
de seguir en pie de guerra
que cobijarme entre tus brazos
practicando el cuerpo a tierra...
y camuflarme con tu carne
en su pasión mas incivil
para hacer frente a la jauría
cuando escape del redil
No se me ocurre otra manera
de seguir en la trinchera
con en beso por fusil...
No se me ocurre otra manera
de seguir no sé hacia dónde...
que ir tras el humo que señala
el fuego que tu cuerpo esconde
para encontrar la luz fugaz
de algún relámpago de abril
que me descubra un claroscuro
una silueta algún perfil
No se me ocurre otra manera
de seguir en la trinchera
con un beso por fusil
No se me ocurre otra manera
de vencer la eterna duda
que someterme a la verdad finita
de tu piel desnuda
más poderosa que la tiranía
de cualquier reptil
encaramado a las basuras
de su torre de marfil...
No se me ocurre otra manera
de seguir en la trinchera
con un beso por fusil...

Roses And Rainbows


Roses And Rainbows
Composer(s): Carole Bayer Sager; Marvin Hamlisch
Performer(s): Julie Budd



So here I am, alone again
Not at all like I thought that it would be
Guess I lost my way
Seems like yesterday
Somebody promised me the sunshine
Somebody promised me the moon
Somebody told me there'd be roses and rainbows
I only hope they'll get here soon
Seems I've been waiting here forever
Thinking that love would come for free
Someone's still waiting for those roses and rainbows
I hope that someone won't be me
So let go now, you're on your own
It's okay to be lonely now and then
Open up your eyes
You are much too wise
If someone promises you sunshine....
You better know there'll still be rain!
If someone says he'll bring you roses and rainbows
You'd better take a look again
You'd better find out who you are girl
Before you run to someone else
instead of waiting for those roses and rainbows
You'd better give them to yourself
Somebody promised me the sunshine
Somebody promised me the moon
Somebody told me there'd be roses and rainbows
And now I know they're coming soon!
And now I'm ready for the sunshine
And I'm as happy as can be
And all my days are filled with roses and rainbows
My life belongs to me!
My life belongs
To me!

Theme For An Imaginary Western


Theme For An Imaginary Western
Composer(s): Pete Brown - Jack Bruce
First release by: Jack Bruce - 1969



When the wagons leave the city
For the forest and further on
Painted wagons of the morning
Dusty roads where they have gone

Sometimes traveling to the darkness
Met the summer coming home
Fallen faces by the wayside
Looked as if they might have known

Oh, the sun was in their eyes
And the desert that dries
In the country town
Where the laughter sounds

All the dancing and the singing
All the music when they played
All the fires that they started
And all the girls with no regrets

Sometimes they found it, sometimes they kept it
Often lost it along the way
Fought each other to possess it
Sometimes died in sight of day

Con Todo Y Mi Tristeza


Con Todo Y Mi Tristeza Composer(s): Juan Gabriel Performer(s): Raphael and multiple other artists



¡Ay! que bonito, pero que bonito es que te quiera
Y el estar de veras locamente enamorado
Pero que tristeza, siento que ya no me quieras
Que por otro amor tan pronto me hayas olvidado

Aunque tu no sepas nunca, nunca, nunca, ya mas de mi vida
Que me estoy muriendo sin tus besos poco a poco de tristeza
Que me estoy muriendo por volverte a ver mi vida
Pero tu me has olvidado tanto que no te interesa

Y con todo y mi tristeza me enseñe a no olvidarte
Me enseñe a vivir sin verte pero sin acostumbrarme
Y ya que muero cada dia por tu ausencia que es dolor
Morire con la conciencia tan tranquila por tu amor

¡Ay! pero ¡ay! que maravilloso y que final tendra mi vida
Que hasta en ese momento sin querer te diga adios
Como eres hoy mi vida, mañana seras mi muerte
Tu vas a ser la culpable de que yo muera de amor

Rosemary Lane


Rosemary Lane
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Bert Jansch;
and various other artists



When I was in service in Rosemary Lane
I won the good will of my master Amberdine
Till a sailor came there, one night to lay
And that was the beginning of my misery

He called for a candle to light him to bed
And likewise a silk handkerchief to tie up his head
To tie up his head,
as sailors will do,
And then said “My pretty Polly, will you come too?“

Now, this may be young and foolish, she thought it no harm
To lie into bed, for to keep herself warm
And what was done there, I will never disclose
But I wish that short night had been 7 long years

Next morning this sailor so early arose
And into my apron 3 guineas did throw
Saying “This I will give, and more I will do
If you’ll be my Polly wherever I go“

Now if it’s a boy, he will fight for the king
And if it’s a girl, she will wear a gold ring
She will wear a gold ring and a dress all aflame
And remember my service in Rosemary Lane

When I was in service in Rosemary Lane
I won the good will of my master Amberdine
Till a sailor came there, one night to lay
And that was the beginning of my misery

Theme For A New Love (I Saw You Only Once)


Theme For A New Love (I Saw You Only Once)
Composer(s): Hank Levine
Performer(s): David Jones



I saw you only once, and I knew
There could be no one for me but you
Yours was the face I wanted to see
Wanted to touch, so tenderly
You smiled and took me by surprise
And you captured my heart with your eyes

The way you walk
The tilt of your head
The sound of your voice
And the things you've siad
For you've so many secrets
So much mystery to everyone else
But you share them with me

You're so much like a kitten
That I hold in my arms
When we laugh and you tease
I'm taken by your charms

You're lovely and charming
And loving and sweet
You captivate everyone you meet
Your laughter's like music
You're always such fun
You're all of my dreams rolled into one

Then there are times when you're moody
Times when you're blue
When the deepest, dark
Black of night is you
Yet, all of these moods
Love, helped you to see and
Understand what's inside of me

You're so soft to my touch
And our love is so new
How can I tell you how much I love you
You're the raindrops that fall
And refresh everything
For when I am with you
It is eternally spring

I love you
I love you
I love you

Quando sono solo
Sogno all'orizzonte
E mancan le parole

Si lo so che non c'è luce
In una stanza
Quando manca il sole

Se non ci sei
Tu con me

Su le finestre
Mostra a tutti il mio cuore
Che hai acceso

Chiudi dentro me
La luce che
Hai incontrato per strada

Con te partirò
Paesi che non ho mai
Veduto e vissuto con te
Adesso sì li vivrò

Con te partirò
Su navi per mari
Che io lo so
No, no, non esistono più
Con te io li vivrò

Quando sei lontana
Sogno all'orizzonte
E mancan le parole

E io sì lo so
Che sei con me
Tu mia luna tu sei qui con me

Mio sole tu sei qui con me
Con me, con me

Con te partirò
Paesi che non ho mai
Veduto e vissuto con te
Adesso sì li vivrò

Con te partirò
Su navi per mari
Che, io lo so
No, no, non esistono più
Con te io li rivivrò

Con te partirò
Su navi per mari
Che, io lo so
No, no, non esistono più
Con te io li rivivrò

Con te partirò

Io con te!

Je L'Attends (Dalida)


Je L'attends
((English & German Versions: King Of Clowns (Neil Sedaka); Hello Boy (Dalida))
Composer(s): Neil Sedaka - Howard Greenfield
Performer(s): Dalida



Je l'attends en pleurant
Mes amis dites-lui que je l'attends
Je comprends maintenant
Dites-lui que je m'ennuie en l'attendant

En rêvant nuit et jour
Revivant les doux instants de notre amour
Des regrets pleins le cœur
Oui j'en ai et c'est pour ça que moi je pleure

Pourra-t-il me pardonner?
Je n'en sais rien
Le mal que je lui ai fait s'il me revient
Quelle folie c'est trop tard
Dans mon cœur il n'est resté que des espoirs

La la la la la lay lo
La la la la la lay lo
Dites-lui que je l'attends
La la la la la lay lo
La la la la la lay lo
Dites-lui que je l'attends

Je l'attends mais j'ai peur
Je comprends que j'ai du lui briser le cœur
Pourra-t-il oublier
Viendra-t-il un de ces jours je ne le sais

Dites-lui que je l'attends
Qu'il peut venir
Dites-lui que je comprends il doit souffrir
Quelle folie d'esperer
Et je crie dans ma douleur pour l'appeler

La la la la la lay lo
La la la la la lay lo
Dites-lui que je l'attends
La la la la la lay lo
Oh La la la la lay lo
Dites-lui que je l'attends
La la la la la lay lo
La la la la la lay lo
Dites-lui que je l'attends
La la la la la lay lo
La la la la la lay lo
Dites-lui que je l'attends
