Infinity


Infinity
Composer(s): Dave Brock; Robert Calvert
Performer(s): Hawkwind



I used to be of human kind
I had a life to lead
But now I'm frozen in a dream
My life is lost it seems
She turned the key
Of endlessness and locked me
In a dream, Infinity

Infinity so beautiful
Has turned my soul to ice
And crystallized eternity
For all my future time
She turned the key
Of endlessness and locked me
In a dream, Infinity

I met her in a forest glade
Where starbeams grew like trees
I did not take her for a witch
She wasn't what she seemed
She turned the key
Of endlessness and locked me
In a dream, Infinity

She led me to a palace gate
With constellation towers
She is the keeper of my fate
I sleep locked in her powers
She turned the key
Of endlessness and locked me
In a dream, Infinity

Never A Time


Never A Time
Composer(s): Tony Banks; Phil Collins; Mike Rutherford
Performer(s): Genesis;
Spectrum; Daryl Stuermer



There is never a time to say
cos it seems to me we've lost our way
so we carry on, down the road
and we live our lives haunted by
all the things we say and do
keep on missing, when I'm alone with you

No there's never a time to change
you don't get a chance to re-arrange
it's a long long long way to go
just to find out something, we both know
can't you see what's going on
it's so sad, that a love so strong, has gone

All I know is what is true
All I ask is for you
To just look around and see

You live your life locked in a dream
Where nothing is real, and not what it seems
We can't go on another day
Just being afraid to say

It's a long long way to fall
When we both thought we had it all
Well you know it's the time to say
cos we're all played out, we've lost our way
Oh, I hoped that you would be
oh so understanding
and by now you'd see, but oh no
so sad, oh so sad, that's the way that it goes
I know, I'm gonna tell you right now

Infierno Y Gloria


Infierno Y Gloria
Composer(s): Abelardo Pulido
Performer(s): Javier Solís
and multiple other artists



Perdóname Señor si la quiero en tal forma
que loco por su amor el matar no me importa
Mi rostro se transforma cuando alguien le habla
y el que la ve y la toca es ya mi rival

Es tan inmenso el cariño que siento por ella
no sé si soy hombre o bestia sedienta de amar
Yo sólo sé que la quiero con todas mis fuerzas
ella es mi infierno y mi gloria
ella es mi pecado, mi bien y mi mal

Es tan inmenso el cariño que siento por ella
no sé si soy hombre o bestia sedienta de amar
Yo sólo sé que la quiero con todas mis fuerzas
ella es mi infierno y mi gloria
ella es mi pecado, mi bien y mi mal

Neutron Dance


Neutron Dance
Composer(s): Danny Sembello; Allee Willis
Performer(s): The Pointer Sisters;
and various other artists



I don't want to take it anymore
I'll just stay here locked behind the door
Just no time to stop and get away
'Cause I work so hard to make it everyday

Whoo oooh
Whoo oooh

There's no money falling from the sky
'Cause a man took my heart and robbed me blind
Someone stole my brand new Chevrolet
And the rent is due, I got no place to stay

Whoo oooh
Whoo oooh

(Chorus:)
And it's hard to say
Just how some things never change
And it's hard to find
Any strength to draw the line
I'm just burning doin' the neutron dance
I'm just burning doin' the neutron dance

Industry don't pay a price that's fair
All the common people breathing filthy air
Roof caved in on all the simple dreams
And to get ahead your heart starts pumping schemes

Chorus

Whoo oooh
Whoo oooh
I'm on fire
I'm on fire

Chorus

I know there's a pot of gold for me
All I got to do is just believe
I'm so happy doin' the neutron dance
And I'm just burning doin' the neutron dance
I'm so happy doin' the neutron dance
I'm just burning doin' the neutron dance

Infatuation


Infatuation
Composer(s): Duane Hitchings; Rowland Robinson; Rod Stewart
Performer(s): Rod Stewart



Early in the morning I can't sleep
I can't work and I can't eat
I've been drunk all day, can't concentrate
Maybe I'm making a big mistake

Caught me down like a killer shark
It's like a railroad running right through my heart
Jekyll and Hyde the way I behave
Feel like I'm running on an empty gauge

Oh no not again
It hurts so good
I don't understand
Infatuation
Infatuation
Infatuation
Infatuation

Heart beats silly like a big bass drum
Losing all equilibrium
It's so hard in the middle of the week
Maybe this woman's just all I need

Oh no not again
It hurts so good
I don't understand
Infatuation
Infatuation
Infatuation
Infatuation
'Fatuate me baby

Spirits soar when I'm by her side
She put a little love in this heart of mine
Maybe I'm lucky, maybe I'm freed
Maybe this woman's just all I need

Oh no not again
It hurts so good
I don't understand
Infatuation
Infatuation
Infatuation
Infatuation
Rev it up

Neurenberger Droom


Neurenberger Droom
Performer(s): Liesbeth List



Een oog boven de dekens uit
Zie ik de regen op de ruit
En buiten wacht de wereld
Met een stok achter de deur

Terug naar de nacht
Naar de geur van het bed
In het donker zacht vertellen
Over vroeger aan mezelf

Mijn halfverteerde Teddybeer
Zijn glazen oog al uitgerukt
Holt zich het zaagsel uit de naad
Op vilten zolen over straat
En neemt de houten tram
Van Nooitgedagt naar IJlst
Hij komt nooit terug

refr.:
Bouw een hut in de boom
Nooit meer verder wakker worden
Neurenberger droom (2x)

Twee ogen open, het is al dag
En dadelijk is het donderdag
De koude tocht komt zeuren
Aan mijn warme dekentent
Ik ben moe en nog lang niet gewend
Aan het licht
Ik wil niet geboren worden
Ik blijf binnen bij mezelf

Het Alpenlandschap van papier
De trein rijdt eeuwig in het rond
Een pluchen haas als passagier
Van hier naar Made in Germany
De haas wuift met een poot
De ander is hij kwijt
Hij komt nooit terug

refr.

Als ik mijn armen traag beweeg
Weet ik het weer
Jouw plaats is leeg
Jij was bang, jij was speelgoed
En ik heb je stuk gemaakt
Maar nu je echt bent zoekgeraakt
Heb ik spijt
En in plaats van in jouw armen
Kruip ik verder in mezelf

refr.

Inevitable


Inevitable
Composer(s): Alejandro Lerner; Coti Sorokin
Performer(s): Alejandro Lerner



Después de los gritos de ayer
Pensé que ya no volverías
Ahora no entiendo bien por qué

Todas las dudas que encontré
A dónde estaban escondidas
Las llaves de tu corazón

Inevitable no sé vivir sin ti
Irresponsable por qué jugaste así
Irremplazable no sé vivir sin ti

Si por las noches yo te amé
Y en las mañanas sonreías
Dime en qué me equivoqué

Si son las curvas de tu amor
Las que me obligan a estrellarme
Contra los muros de tu piel

Inevitable no sé vivir sin ti
Irresponsable por qué jugaste así
Irremplazable no sé vivir sin ti

Si me hablas de amor
No me pidas perdón
Nadie tiene razón
Si algo se está muriendo

Inevitable no sé vivir sin ti
Irresponsable por qué jugaste así
Irremplazable no sé vivir sin ti

No sé vivir

Nether Lands


Nether Lands
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg; Lana Lane



High on this mountain
The clouds down below
I'm feeling so strong and alive
From this rocky perch
I'll continue to search
For the wind and the snow and the sky
Oh I want a lover and I want some friends
And I want to live in the sun
And I want to do all the things that I never have done

Sunny bright mornings and pale moonlit nights
Keep me from feeling alone
Now I'm learning to fly and this freedom is like
Nothing that I've ever known
Oh I've seen the bottom and I've been on top
But mostly I've lived in between
And where do you go when you get to the end of your dream

Off in the Nether Lands I heard the sound
Like the beating of heavenly wings
And deep in my brain I can hear a refrain
Of my soul as she rises and sings
Anthems to glory and anthems to love
And hymns filled with earthly delight
Like the songs that the darkness composes to worship the light

Once in a vision I came on some woods
And stood at a fork in the road
My choices were clear yet I froze with the fear
Of not knowing which way to go
Oh, one road was simple acceptance of life
The other road offered sweet peace
When I made my decision
My vision became my release

Industrial Disease


Industrial Disease
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Dire Straits



Warning lights are flashing down at Quality Control
Somebody threw a spanner and they threw him in the hole
There's rumours in the loading bay and anger in the town
Somebody blew the whistle and the walls came down
There's a meeting in the boardroom they're trying to trace the smell
There's leaking in the washroom there's a sneak in personnel
Somewhere in the corridors someone was heard to sneeze
'Goodness me could it be Industrial Disease?'

The caretaker was crucified for sleeping at his post
They're refusing to be pacified it's him they blame the most
The watchdog's got rabies the foreman's got the fleas
And everyone's concerned about Industrial Disease
There's panic on the switchboard tongues are ties in knots
Some come out in sympathy some come out in spots
Some blame the management some the employees
And everybody knows it's the Industrial Disease

The work force is disgusted downs tools and walks
Innocence is injured experience just talks
Everyone seeks damages and everyone agrees
That these are 'classic symptoms of a monetary squeeze'
On ITV and BBC they talk about the curse
Philosophy is useless theology is worse
History boils over there's an economics freeze
Sociologists invent words that mean 'Industrial Disease'

Doctor Parkinson declared 'I'm not surprised to see you here
You've got smokers cough from smoking brewer's droop from drinking beer
I don't know how you came to get the Bette Davis knees
But worst of all young man you've got Industrial Disease'
He wrote me a prescription he said 'you are depressed
But I'm glad you came to see me to get this off your chest
Come back and see me later - next patient please
Send in another victim of Industrial Disease'

I go down to Speaker's Corner I'm thunderstruck
They got free speech, tourists, police in trucks
Two men say they're Jesus one of them must be wrong
There's a protest singer singing a protest song - he says
'they wanna have a war so they can keep us on our knees
They wanna have a war so they can keep their factories
They wanna have a war to stop us buying Japanese
They wanna have a war to stop Industrial Disease
They're pointing out the enemy to keep you deaf and blind
They wanna sap you energy incarcerate your mind
They give you Rule Brittania, gassy beer, page three
Two weeks in Espana and Sunday striptease'
Meanwhile the first Jesus says 'I'd cure it soon
Abolish Monday mornings and Friday afternoons'
The other one's out on hunger strike he's dying by degrees
How come Jesus gets Industrial Disease

Net Als Toen


Net Als Toen
First performance by: Corry Brokken - 1957



Zit niet so suf met die eeuwige krant
Gaap niet van slaap of verveling
'k Ben toch je vrouw en ik eet uit je hand
Maar 'k eet niet van de bedeling

Kijk me niet aan of je denkt: leef je nog?
Ben ik nog altijd die vrouw
Waarmee je destijds - wanneer was dat toch?
Per se dat avontuurtje hebben wou!

Wees nog eens lief, net als toen
Vraag me nog eens om een zoen
Breng me weer rozen, sta weer te blozen
Als je me ziet, net als toen

Wees nog eens lief en galant
Vind me weer mooi en charmant
Dan wordt de wereld weer net als vroeger
Een sprookjesland

Ja, je wordt dik en je haar wordt al grijs
Maar je kunt heus nog wel flirten
Ach, je bent soms nog zo'n kind, zo onwijs
Nurks en baldadig om beurten!

Weet je nog, weet je nog? Zeg nou niet nee...
Weet je nog, dat je toen zei
"t Gelukkigste paar, dat zijn wij met z'n twee"
Mijn liefde, liefste lief, gaat nooit voorbij!

Wees nog eens lief, net als toen
Vraag me nog eens om en zoen
Breng me weer rozen, sta weer te blozen
Als je me ziet, net als toen

Wees nog eens lief en galant
Vind me weer mooi en charmant
Dan wordt de wereld weer net als vroeger
Een sprookjesland

Indulto (En Vivo)


Indulto (En Vivo)
Composer(s): Alejandro Lerner
Performer(s): Alejandro Lerner



Aunque me quede ciego
y sin pensamientos
habrá en mi alma un libro
con mis recuerdos

Aunque cambie el final
siempre el mismo cuento
donde quedan las huellas de lo que siento
y es por eso que no voy a olvidar
por los que han sufrido
y por los que no están
por los que se han ido a ningún lugar
siento que me abraza la soledad
siento que me atrapa la soledad

Porque vuelve la niebla a mi candelario
porque hasta la justicia tiene cola de diablo
y no quiere ver, no quiere mirar
porque está desnuda mi libertad
porque no estoy solo y no sé qué hacer
porque, pese a todo, Dios
aun tengo fe

Porque aun me duele el hambre de un nuevo cielo
y porque tengo ganas de seguir creciendo
porque no habrá perdón
porque no habrá consuelo
porque no hay abrigo
que calme mi miedo

Porque después de tanto llorar
los veo salir de nuevo
Porque después de tanto llorar
los veo salir de nuevo

Porque no habrá perdón
porque no habrá consuelo
de que sirve el castigo
sin arrepentimiento

Nestle In Your Daddy's Arms


Nestle In Your Daddy's Arms
Composer(s): Lou Herscher; Joe Burke
Performer(s): Art Hickman



Baby, daddy's mighty blue
Don't know what to do
So lonesome for a little love from you
Maybe you feel just as bad
Won't you make me glad
You know I need your sweet affection too
Just cuddle near me
So you can hear me
And listen while I say

Baby, you're my little pet
Since the day we met
You've been your daddy's little angel child
Maybe you don't realize
How my poor heart cries
Because you very nearly drive me wild
I'm wild about you
Can't live without you
So listen to my plea

Come and nestle in your daddy's loving arms
On my shoulder let me hold your loving charms
When you go away for even just a day
Your daddy misses all your love and all your kisses
Show your pretty dimples, let me see you smile
Make your daddy happy all the while
Because you know I'm awf'ly lonesome
When I'm by my ownsome
Come and nestle in your daddy's arms

Indifférente


Indifférente
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg; Alain Goraguer
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg



Comme le chien de monsieur Jean de Nivelle
Tu ne viens jamais à moi quand je t'appelle
Qu'importe le temps
Qu'emporte le vent
Mieux vaut ton absence
Que ton inconséquence

Quand par hasard dans mon lit je te rencontre
On n'peut pas dire que tu sois pour ni qu'tu sois contre
Qu'importe le temps
Qu'emporte le vent
Mieux vaut ton absence
Que ton impertinence

Dans tes yeux je vois mes yeux t'en as d'la chance
Ça te donne des lueurs d'intelligence
Qu'importe le temps
Qu'emporte le vent
Mieux vaut ton absence
Que ton incohérence

En d'autres occasions je chanterais les transes
De l'amour mais aujourd'hui je m'en balance
Qu'importe le temps
Qu'emporte le vent
Mieux vaut ton absence
Que ton indifférence

Neste Sommer


Neste Sommer
Composer(s): Lars Lillo-Stenberg; Kyrre S. Fritzner
Performer(s): De Lillos



Det var en gang en sommer i nittenhundre og nittitre
Hvor alt var så behagelig og verden var diskret
Om dagen kunne man lese langsomt i en bok
Om kvelden satt vi rundt et bord

Ref:
Når du en gang kommer neste sommer
Skal jeg atter være her
Og vi skal synge gamle sanger om igjen
Når du en gang kommer neste sommer
Skal vi atter drikke vin
Og vi skal snakke sammen om de samme gamle ting

Det var en gang en sommer
I nittenhundre og nittitre
Hvor verden lå ufarlig
Langs Norges kyst et sted
På radioen var det et program
Om sommermat
Vi ruslet ned og tok et bad

Indien


Indien
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



Pauvre pauvre pauvre Indien
Plante un à un
Plante plante un à un
Le maïs en grains

Dure est la terre
Que l'on arrache à la forêt
Dure est la terre
Où il vivra jusqu'à l'été
Solitaire
La faim au ventre
Il attendra de voir monter
La faim au ventre
Les maigres tiges à récolter
Entre les pierres

Pauvre pauvre pauvre Indien
Plante un à un
Plante plante un à un
Le maïs en grains

Dans son village
Il a laissé femme et enfants
Dans son village
Qui l'attendent depuis longtemps
Sans colère
La terre est rouge
Rouges ses mains rouge son coeur
La terre est rouge
Frère sa peau a la couleur
Qui nous est chère

Pauvre pauvre pauvre Indien
Plante un à un
Plante plante un à un
Le maïs en grains

N'Est-Ce Pas Merveilleux?


N'Est-Ce Pas Merveilleux?
Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo



Dis n'est-ce pas merveilleux?
La plage est là pour nous seuls
Dis n'est-ce pas merveilleux?
La vague danse sur les écueils

Cette lune qui dort
Dans un ciel tout en or
Et ce vent qui nous berce
N'est-ce pas merveilleux?

Et ta main dans la mienne
Et ton coeur près du mien
L'éternelle rengaine
C'est quand même merveilleux

Oui, c'est quand même merveilleux

Dis n'est-ce pas merveilleux?
Écoute l'onde qui chante
Dis, ferme les yeux
Retiens l'heure présente

Cette nuit de velours
Et ce souffle d'amour
Pour deux coeurs amoureux
N'est-ce pas merveilleux

Et si ce n'est qu'un rêve
Quelques images brèves
Il s'agit de nous deux
C'est quand même merveilleux
Oui c'est quand même merveilleux
Ah oui, c'est quand même merveilleux

Indiecito Dormido


Indiecito Dormido
Composer(s): Atahualpa Yupanqui
Performer(s): Daniel Toro



Poncho de cuatro colores
cuatro caminos quebrados
y un solo sueño de cobre
está el changuito soñando

Indiecito dormido
pa' acompañarte se duerme el río
indiecito dormido
junto a tu puerta pasa el camino
pasa el camino, sí, pasa el camino
cuando por él te vayas ...
chuy! chuy! qué frío!

Sueña que es tibia la nieve
que son blandos los guijarros
que el viento le cuenta cuentos
de pastores y rebaños

Indiecito dormido ...

N'Est-Ce Pas Étrange?


N'est-Ce Pas Étrange? ((Adapted from: Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever (Four Tops) - 1964)) Composer(s): Stevie Wonder - Ivy Hunter - Claude François - Vline Buggy Performer(s): Claude François - 1975



Si tu es toujours là tu m'ennuies
Pourtant aussitot que tu es loin de moi
Tu me manques, tu me manques tellement
Si tu me quittais je t'oublie
Mais si tu me trompes
Alors là tu m'obsèdes
Je deviens fou en passant à toi

Plus tu es méchante et plus je t'aime
Plus tu en inventes et plus je t'aime
Et plus tu me tourmentes
Et plus moi je t'aime

N'est-ce pas étrange?
Que toutes ces choses
Contredisent dans cette vie
L'amour est simple et compliqué
Oui n'est-ce pas étrange?
Que toutes ces choses
Contredisent dans cette vie
Je n'pourrai jamais l'expliquer

Si la vérité prolonge l'amour
Le mensonge par contre
Le rendra si violent
Parfois même bien plus excitant
Si les fleurs vont vers la pluie
Moi je reviens toujours vers toi chérie
Tu sais je suis faible mais ça m'est égal

PLus tu es méchante et plus je t'aime
Plus tu en inventes et plus je t'aime
Et plus tu me tourmentes
Et plus moi je t'aime

N'est-ce pas étrange?
Que toutes ces choses
Contredisent dans cette vie
L'amour est simple et compliqué
Oui n'est-ce pas étrange?
Que toutes ces choses
Contredisent dans cette vie
Je n'pourrai jamais l'expliquer

PLus tu es méchante et plus je t'aime
Plus tu en inventes et plus je t'aime
Et plus tu me tourmentes
Et plus moi je t'aime

Indication


Indication
Composer(s): Rod Argent
Performer(s): The Zombies
and multiple other artists



It's not that you're wrong, it's just that I am right
I don't want to be tied down every day and every night

Now I've got an indication, I'll-hold-out-against sensation
I know that if I really try, I think I can hold out

If you think you've got me under wrong
You may be right, but I won't be the one to settle down

Now I've got an indication, I'll-hold-out-against sensation
I know that if I really try, I think I can hold out

But if I can't hold out, keep away from you
I can see it happening, I will be with you

If it happens, there's nothin' I can do
I realize that you have won and it's no use to fight

Now I've got an indication, I'll-hold-out-against sensation
I know that if I really try, I think I can hold out

Now I've got an indication, I'll-hold-out-against sensation
I know that if I really try, I think I can hold out

Nessuno Mi Può Giudicare


Nessuno Mi Può Giudicare
Composer(s): Mario Panzeri - Daniele Pace - Micky Del Prete - Luciano Beretta
First release by: Caterina Caselli - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages:
1966 - Baisse Un Peu La Radio (by Dalida)
1974 - Amoureux De Ma Femme (by Richard Anthony)
2000 - Elke Dag Verliefd (by Willy Sommers)



La verità` mi fa male, lo so...
La verità` mi fa male, lo sai!
Nessuno mi può giudicare, nemmeno tu
(la verità ti fa male, lo so)
Lo so che ho sbagliato una volta e non sbaglio più
(la verità ti fa male, lo so)
Dovresti pensare a me
e stare piu` attento a te
C'è` già tanta gente che
ce la su con me, chi lo sa perchè?
Ognuno ha il diritto di vivere come può
(la verità ti fa male, lo so)
Per questo una cosa mi piace e quell'altra no
(la verità ti fa male, lo so)
Se sono tornata a te
ti basta sapere che
ho visto la differenza tra lui e te
ed ho scelto te
Se ho sbagliato un giorno ora capisco che
l'ho pagata cara la verità
io ti chiedo scusa, e sai perchè?
Sta di casa qui la felicità
Molto, molto più di prima io t'amerò
in confronto all'altro sei meglio tu
e d'ora in avanti prometto che
quel che ho fatto un dì non farò mai più
Ognuno ha il diritto di vivere come può
(la verità ti fa male, lo so)
Per questo una cosa mi piace e quell'altra no
(la verità ti fa male, lo so)
Se sono tornata a te
ti basta sapere che
ho visto la differenza tra lui e te
ed ho scelto te
Se ho sbagliato un giorno ora capisco che
l'ho pagata cara la verità,
io ti chiedo scusa, e sai perchè?
Sta di casa qui la felicità
Nessuno mi può giudicare, nemmeno tu!
