J'ai reçu une lettre

Rossignol


Rossignol
Composer(s): Francis Lopez; Raymond Vincy
Performer(s): Luis Mariano



Il était une fois une fille d'un roi
Au cœur plein de tristesse
Enfermée nuit et jour
Au sommet d'une tour
Elle pleurait toujours
Un jour, prenant son vol
Un gentil rossignol
Vint dire à la princesse
"Je t'apporte l'espoir"
C'est pour le revoir
Qu'elle chante le soir

Rossignol, rossignol de mes amours
Quand ton chant s'élèvera
Mon chagrin s'envolera
Et l'amour viendra peut-être
Ce soir, sous ma fenêtre
Reviens gentil rossignol

Le rossignol revint se poser
Sur la main de sa belle princesse
Elle le caressa puis elle l'embrassa
Et il se transforma
En un prince charmant
Qui devint le galant
De sa jolie maîtresse
Et c'est pourquoi depuis
Les filles du pays
Chantent toutes les nuits

Rossignol, rossignol de mes amours
Dès que minuit sonnera
Quand la lune brillera
Viens chanter sous ma fenêtre

Rossignol, rossignol de mes amours
Quand ton chant s'élèvera
Mon chagrin s'envolera
Et l'amour viendra peut-être
Ce soir, sous ma fenêtre
Reviens gentil rossignol

Then You've Never Been Blue


Then You've Never Been Blue
Composer(s): Joe Young - Sam M. Lewis - Ted Fio Rito
Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald
and multiple other artists



If you've never had to count a million sheep
Then you've never been blue, never been blue
If you've never had to cry yourself to sleep
Then you've never been blue, never been blue

I know I could go on laughing
At trouble, plain trouble
But when it concerns the heart
The pace is double

Never worry 'bout a little hurt or two
There's nothing at all bothering you
If you've never had a pal who stole your gal
Then you've never, no you've never been blue

Some think that this life of mine
Is plain honey, that's funny
When you're miles away from home
It's not so sunny

No one ever knows what I go through
While someone at home is babying you
If you've never had to to miss a goodnight kiss
Then you've never, no you've never been blue

Confessin' The Blues


Confessin' The Blues
Composer(s): Walter Brown - Jay McShann
Performer(s): B.B. King



Baby here I stand before you
With my heart in my hand
I put it to you mama
Hoping that you'll understand

Oh, baby
Mama, please don't dog me 'round
Yeah I, I would rather love you, baby
Than anyone else I know in town

This is my confession, Mama
And it's sung by all your song
It proves that I'm in heaven, Mama
When you hold me in your arms

Well, baby
Can I have you for myself
Yeah, if I can't have you, baby
I don't want nobody else

Well, baby
Don't you want a man like me
Well, baby
Don't you want a man like me
Yeah, think about your future, baby
Forget about your used to be

In Mijn Ogen Kun Je Zien Wat Ik Bedoel


In Mijn Ogen Kun Je Zien Wat Ik Bedoel ((aka Droomdans (Liliane Saint-Pierre) - 1998))
((Adapted from: Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (Nina Simone) - 1964))
Composer(s): Bennie Benjamin - Sol Marcus - Gloria Caldwell - Frank Houtappels
Performer(s): Ton Kas - 2011

Versions In Other Languages:

Liefste, luister es goed naar wat ik zeg
Want ik zeg het geen tweede keer
Een kerel als ik is nou eenmaal geen engel
Meestal weet ik het zelf ook niet meer
En al zeg ik niet vaak wat ik eigenlijk voel
In mijn ogen kun je zien wat ik bedoel

Als ik eens naar doe wil ik dat je weet
Dat ik nou eenmaal snel mijn manieren vergeet
En als ik weer aanneem dat jij me wel kent
Vergeet ik soms dat jij ook maar een vrouw met gevoel bent

Liefste, ik weet dat ik geen prins ben
Niet bepaald een lot uit de loterij
Maar laat ik je zeggen dat je mijn koningin bent
Ook al ben ik niet goed in vleierij

En al zeg ik niet vaak wat ik eigenlijk voel
Ik hoop dat je wel begrijpt wat ik bedoel

Ik hoop dat je ziet wat ik bedoel
Ik kan niet zeggen wat ik voel
Snap je nou wat ik bedoel
Ik kan niet zeggen wat ik voel

Rosie's Cantina


Rosie's Cantina
Composer(s): Benny Hill
Performer(s): Benny Hill



When I met you, in Rosie's Cantina
You looked so lonesome and sad
I bought you a drink, and I said with a wink
Maybe things won't be so bad

You ordered... a large champagne cocktail
Then vodka and wine from Jerome
And as I bought it I suddenly thought it's
No wonder that you're on your own

You took me... across town to your place
My eagernes I could not hide
When we reached your floor, you closed the front door
Tell me... why did you leave me outside...?

So I went... and sang 'neath your window
From midnight 'til turned half past three
Oh tell me sweet lady, sweet lady pray tell me
What was it you emptied on me...?

I hoped... when I met you Maria
You'd be the love of my life
I gave you my heart, but you tore it apart
So I think I'll go back to the wife....

Je sais, j'ai mes jours de colère
Mes heures de désespoir
Je sais qu'à ces moments-là
J'en veux au monde entier
Et je voudrais fuir, même ton regard

Mais toi, tu m'en veux
Tu ne comprends donc pas
J'ai peur
Je n'ai à t'offrir que mon amour

Devant les vitrines illuminées
Quand je vois tes yeux s'allumer
Je te crie "Allons ! Viens, ne perds pas ton temps"
Et je t'entraîne en bousculant les gens

Mais toi, tu m'en veux
Tu ne comprends donc pas
J'ai peur
Je n'ai à t'offrir que mon amour

La nuit, dans mes rêves, je laisse éclater
La rage qui depuis longtemps bouillonne en moi
Et dans ces vitrines, sans rien demander
Je charge mes bras de cadeaux pour toi

Je t'aime tant, oh, oh, mais le matin
En ouvrant les yeux, je vois mes mains
Et je les retrouve là si vides
Que je n'ose plus les tendre vers toi

Mais toi, tu m'en veux
Tu ne comprends donc pas
J'ai peur
Je n'ai à t'offrir que mon amour

Mais toi, tu m'en veux
Tu ne comprends donc pas
J'ai peur
Je n'ai à t'offrir que mon amour

Mais toi, tu m'en veux
Tu ne comprends donc pas
J'ai peur
Je n'ai à t'offrir que mon amour

Confesiones Frente Al Espejo


Confesiones Frente Al Espejo
Composer(s): Alejandro Lerner
Performer(s): Alejandro Lerner



Dime lo que pasa
En tu corazón
Dime donde duele
Donde se rompió
Como sucedió
Dímelo

Dime si ha cambiado
Tu imaginación
Tu sueño anhelado
El sonido de tu voz
Dime si cambio…
Dímelo

Dime si serás el mismo hasta mañana
Dime si será lo mismo el día de hoy, si…
Dime si en cada respuesta
Hay una pregunta interior
Dime si ese que me mira, sigo siendo yo

Dime lo que pasa
En tu corazón
Dime lo que falta
Donde se perdió
Como sucedió
Dímelo

Dime si serás el mismo hasta mañana
Dime si será lo mismo el día de hoy
Dime si en cada respuesta
Hay una pregunta interior
Dime si ese que mira sigo siendo yo…

Dime si serás el mismo hasta mañana
Dime si será lo mismo el día de hoy
Dime si en cada respuesta
Hay una pregunta interior
Dime si ese que mira sigo siendo yo

Rosie (Jackson Browne)


Rosie
Composer(s): Jackson Browne; Donald Miller
Performer(s): Jackson Browne



She was standing at the load-in
When the trucks rolled up
She was sniffing all around
Like a half grown female pup
She wasn't hard to talk to
Looked like she had nowhere to go
So I gave her my pass
So she could get in and see the show

Well I sat her down right next to me
And I got her a beer
While I mixed that sound on stage
So the band could hear
The more I watched her watch them play
The less I could think of to say
And when they walked off stage
The drummer swept that girl away

But Rosie you're all right -- you wear my ring
When you hold me tight -- Rosie that's my thing
When you turn out the light -- I've got to hand it to me
Looks like it's me and you again tonight Rosie

Well I guess I might have known from the start
She'd come for a star
Might have told my imagination not to run too far
Of all the times that I've been burned
By now you'd think I'd have learned
That it's who you look like
Not who you are

But Rosie you're all right -- you wear my ring
When you hold me tight -- Rosie that's my thing
When you turn out the light -- I've got to hand it to me
Looks like it's me and you again tonight Rosie

Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye


Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye
Composer(s): John D. Loudermilk
Performer(s): Don Cherry
and multiple other artists



Kiss me each morning for a million years
Hold me each evening by your side
Tell me you love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss
Soften my dreams with your sigh
After you've loved me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

If you must go I won't grieve
If you just wait a life-time before you leave
If you must go I won't say "no"
Just so we can say that we tried

Tell me you love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

Performer(s): Miguel Mateos



Si acaso ella volviera...
volviera..
mañana junto a mí

Yo moriría por ella
por ella...
y si me pidiera
mataría por ella
sin ella
no hay nada para mí

Es que ella y yo somos los dos
la misma cosa
y no me resigno a admitirlo...
pero fue bueno mientras duró

Yo moriría por ella
por ella...
y si me pidiera
mataría por ella
sin ella
no hay nada para mí

Es que ella y yo somos los dos
la misma cosa
y no me resigno a admitirlo...

Rosie (Francis Cabrel)


Rosie
Composer(s): Jackson Brown; Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel



Elle était déjà là bien avant
Que les camions ne viennent
Elle tournait comme une enfant
Une poupée derrière la scène
C'était facile de lui parler
On a échangé quelques mots
Je lui ai donné mon passe
Pour qu'elle puisse entrer voir le show

Elle s'est assise à côté de moi
Sur des caisses de bière
Pendant que je mixais le son pour le groupe
Sur la scène en arrière
Elle les fixait à s'en brûler la peau
Moi, je la trouvais tellement belle
Après le dernier morceau
Le batteur est parti avec elle

Oh Rosie, tout est blanc
Tes yeux m'éclairent
De t'avoir eu un instant
J'étais tellement fier
Tout ce qu'il me reste à présent
L'envie de tout foutre en l'air
Et de recommencer la nuit...
...Rosie

Je suppose j'aurais dû deviner
Qu'elle venait pour les stars
Et m'empêcher de l'imaginer
Dans mes bras plus tard
Depuis tout le temps que j'en tremble
Ce soir quand même j'ai compris
Faut pas dire à qui je ressemble
Faut dire qui je suis

Oh Rosie, tout est blanc
Tes yeux m'éclairent
De t'avoir eu un instant
J'étais tellement fier
Tout ce qu'il me reste à présent
L'envie de tout foutre en l'air
Et de recommencer la nuit...
Recommencer la nuit...
Recommencer la nuit...
Rosie...Rosie...Rosie...Rosie...Rosie...

Then What


Then What
Composer(s): Randy Sharp - Jon Vezner
Performer(s): Clay Walker; Sybersound



Well I got a good friend who's got a good life
He's got two pretty children and a real nice wife
But he never seems quite satisfied
I said I know what's on your mind
But you better think about it before you cross that line
The grass ain't always greener on the other side

Then what, what you gonna do
When the new wears off and the old shines through
And it ain't really love and it ain't really lust
You ain't anybody anyone's gonna trust
Then what, where you gonna turn
When you can't turn back for the bridges you burn
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt
Then what

Well I ain't saying that looking's a crime
Well I've done my share from time to time
It don't mean that you gotta take that leap
When you're standin' on the brink
Before you jump you gotta step back and think
There's a price for ever promise you don't keep

Then what, what you gonna do
When the new wears off and the old shines through
And it ain't really love and it ain't really lust
You ain't anybody anyone's gonna trust
Then what, where you gonna turn
When you can't turn back for the bridges you burn
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt
Then what

Do what you want, do what you wish
It's your life but remember this
There's bound to be some consequences
Sneaking under other fences

Then what, what you gonna do
When the new wears off and the old shines through
And it ain't really love and it ain't really lust
You ain't anybody anyone's gonna trust
Then what, where you gonna turn
When you can't turn back for the bridges you burn
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt
Then what

Coney Island


Coney Island
Performer(s): Al Jolson



Every summer we go down to Deauville by the sea
Where one can rub his shoulders with a king
St. Moritz in wintertime, ah that’s the place to be
And then to Paris in the spring
Where one can have his little fling

Though Normandy is lovely in November
Somehow it leaves you nothing to remember

I can’t forget the night I met you down at Coney…Island
Gee, I was proud you picked me from the crowd at Coney…Island
And very soon I proved to you that my intentions weren’t phoney
It ended in ma…tri...mo...ny
And now we’re eating caviar instead of macaroni
But I recall those picnic lunches a baloney with a smile
I guess I’m still a hick
‘Cause I still get a kick
Just loving you while scrumming through the crowd
At Coney Isle

Rosie (Don Partridge)


Rosie
Composer(s): Don Partridge
Performer(s): Don Partridge



Rosie, oh Rosie
I'd like to paint your face up in the sky
Sometimes when I'm busy
Relaxing I'd look up and catch your eye

Your eyes when they're widening
Bring thunder and lightning
And sunset strokes the colour of your skin
Your eyes are so blue
I just think of a blue sky
And bumble bees buzzing on the wing

Rosie, oh Rosie
It's raining when you look the other way
Rosie, oh Rosie
Your laughter brings the sunshine out to play

And though I just met you
When I silhouetted you
A highlight golden shadow in your hair
I'd paint in your mind's eye
A vary of blue skies
Summer birds swinging through the air

Rosie, oh Rosie
I'd paint your face for all the world to see
Rosie, oh Rosie
I'd like to paint your face eternally

Then I'll Stop Loving You


Then I'll Stop Loving You
Composer(s): Joe Goodwin - Joe McCarthy - Al. Piantadosi



You seem afraid of my love, dear, afraid of the things that I do
true love has never run smooth, dear, that's why you think I'm not true
It's foolish to tell you my lovetale, I can't think of anything new
still I'll admit you are right, dear, maybe I'll stop loving you

Sweethearts must have bits of sorrow, that helps to sweeten the joy
sad today, glad on the morrow, life of a girl and boy
One smile can chase any frown, dear
One kiss can gladden the heart, though I may stop loving you
dear, that very day I will start

When the golden sun stops shining, when the flowers cease to grow
when a broken heart stops pining, when the waters cease to flow
when a lad without a lassie, never feels a trifle blue
when a child won't miss it's mother's kiss, then I'll stop loving you

Condition Of The Heart


Condition Of The Heart
Composer(s): Prince
Performer(s): Prince



There was a girl in Paris
Whom he sent a letter 2
Hoping she would answer back
Now wasn't that a foolhardy notion
On the part of a sometimes
Lonely musician
Acting out a whim is only good
4 a condition of the heart

There was a dame from London
Who insisted that he love her
Then left him 4 a real prince
From Arabia, now isn't that
A shame that sometimes money
Buys U everything and nothing
Love, it only seems 2 buy a
Terminal condition of the heart

Thinking about U driving me crazy
My friends all say it's just a phase, but ooh-ooh
Every day is a yellow day
I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard

There was a woman from the ghetto
Who made funny faces just like
Clara Bow, how was I 2 know
That she would wear the same
Cologne as U and giggle the same
Giggle that U do?
Whenever I would act a fool, the fool
With a condition of the heart

Thinking about U driving me crazy
My friends all say it's just a phase, but ooh-ooh
Every single day is a yellow day
I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard

There was a girl (There was a girl in Paris)
whom he sent a letter to... (Whom he sent a letter 2)
(Hoping she would answer back)
She never answered back and now (wasn't that a foolhardy)
He's got a condition of the heart (notion ...)

Rosetta


Rosetta
Composer(s): Mike Snow
Performer(s): Alan Price; Georgie Fame



Well my little girl is a sweet little girl

but she does things make your eyebrows curl
You let her loose on a Friday night

you know it's gonna end in a fight
Rosetta drinks her whiskey neat

she gets in a fight and she might get beat
So I go round on the Saturday night
and ask her if she feel allright

Rosetta are you better
are you well
well
well
Rosetta are you better
are you well
well
well
well
well
well - well
well
well

When Friday comes she's fine again
so we go to a club where we got friends
Knocked on the door but we couldn't get in

'cos the boss don't want no fuss
So we went up town and drank around
and Rosie ended on the ground

So I took her home and I put her to bed

and you can guess what I said
