Quand Tu Dors
Quand Tu Dors
Composer(s): Jacques Prévert; Christiane Verger
Performer(s): Edith Piaf; Barbara
Toi, tu dors la nuit
Mai, j'ai de l'insomnie
Je te vois dormir
Ça me fait souffrir
Tes yeux fermés
Ton grand corps allongé
C'est drôle, mais ça me fait pleurer
Et soudain, voilà que tu ris
Tu ris aux éclats en dormant
Où donc es-tu en ce moment?
Où donc es-tu parti vraiment?
Peut-être avec une autre femme
Très loin, dans un autre pays
Et qu'avec elle, c'est de moi que tu ris...
Toi, tu dors la nuit
Moi, j'ai de l'insomnie
Je te vois dormir
Ça me fait souffrir
Lorsque tu dors
Je ne sais pas si tu m'aimes
T'es tout près, mais si loin quand même
Je suis toute nue, serrée contre toi
Mais c'est comme si j'étais pas là
J'entends pourtant ton cœur qui bat
Je ne sais pas s'il bat pour moi
Je ne sais rien, je ne sais plus
Je voudrais qu'il ne batte plus, ton cœur
Si jamais un jour tu ne m'aimais plus...
Toi, tu rêves la nuit
Mai, j'ai de l'insomnie
Je te vois rêver
Ça me fait pleurer
Voilà le jour et soudain, tu t'éveilles
Et c'est à moi que tu souris
Tu souris avec le soleil
Et je ne pense plus à la nuit
Tu dis des mots toujours pareils
"As-tu passé une bonne nuit?"
Et je réponds comme la veille
"Oui mon chéri, j'ai bien dormi!
Et j'ai rêvé de toi comme chaque nuit..."

Mrs. Murphy's Chowder
Mrs. Murphy's Chowder
(Traditional)
Won't you bring back, won't you bring back, Mrs. Murphy's chowder
It was tuneful, every spoonful made you yodel louder
After dinner Uncle Ben used to fill his fountain pen
From a plate of Mrs. Murphy's chowder
Ice cream, cold cream, benzene, gasoline, soup-beans, string beans, floating all around
Sponge cake, beefsteak, mistake, stomach ache, creampuffs, earmuffs, many to be found
Silk hats, doormats, bed slats, democrats, coco bells, doorbells, beckon you to dine
Meatballs, fish balls, mothballs, cannonballs, come on in, the chowder's fine
Won't you bring back, won't you bring back, Mrs. Murphy's chowder
From each helping you'll be yelping for a headache powder
And if they had it where we are, you might find an Austin car
In a plate of Mrs. Murphy's chowder
Ice cream, cold cream, benzene, gasoline, soup-beans, string beans, floating all around
Sponge cake, beefsteak, mistake, stomach ache, creampuffs, earmuffs, many to be found
Silk hats, doormats, bed slats, democrats, coco bells, doorbells, beckon you to dine
Meatballs, fish balls, mothballs, cannonballs, come on in, the chowder's fine
Won't you bring back, won't you bring back, Mrs. Murphy's chowder
You can pack it, you can stack it, all around the larder
The plumber died the other day, they embalmed him right away
In a bowl of Mrs. Murphy's chowder
Ice cream, cold cream, benzene, gasoline, soup-beans, string beans, floating all around
Sponge cake, beefsteak, mistake, stomach ache, creampuffs, earmuffs, many to be found
Silk hats, doormats, bed slats, democrats, coco bells, doorbells, beckon you to dine
Meatballs, fish balls, mothballs, cannonballs, come on in, the chowder's fine

Quand Tu Dors Près De Moi (Charles Aznavour)
Quand Tu Dors Près De Moi
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Veran
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Oh! Que ma joie est grande et ma douleur profonde
Quand tu dors près de moi
Car le ciel et l'enfer un instant se confondent
Quand tu dors près de moi
Et lorsqu'en mon sommeil brûlant de mille flammes
Ton corps frôle le mien
Il s'infiltre en mon coeur usé jusqu'à la trame
Des envies de t'aimer plus fort
Quand tu dors près de moi
J'ai l'âge de mes joies
Venues du fond des siècles
Et mon coeur est un aigle
La nuit auprès de toi
Et la folie m'étreint et le désir m'éveille
Quand tu dors près de moi
Et ma nuit déchirée s'embrase et s'ensoleille
Émerveillée d'amour, émerveillée de toi
Tu fais l'éternité avec chaque seconde
Quand tu dors près de moi
Je deviens le mendiant le plus riche du monde
Quand tu dors près de moi

Seigneur De Guerre
Seigneur De Guerre
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Il est d'une grâce fauve
Il est tranquille et brutal
Silencieux quand il se pose
Entre Dieu et l'Animal
Sous la peau brillant dans l'ombre
De longs muscles de métal
Homme seul, homme sombre
Où est le bien et le mal
Noir comme le diable
Chaud comme l'enfer
Insaisissable
Seigneur de guerre
Rythmes forts
Juste avant le jour
Pour les morts
Qui ont le cœur lourd
Les tambours
Battent aussi pour
Ton amour
Soleils pourpres et chevaux noirs
Odeurs de cuivre et de peaux
Longue lame qui sépare
D'un seul coup le ciel et l'eau
Il viendra devant ta porte
Sans descendre de cheval
Et il faudra que tu portes
Deux bracelets de métal
Noir comme le diable
Chaud comme l'enfer
Insaisissable
Seigneur de guerre
Ce jour-là
Si tu l'aimes encore
Ce sera
Plus fort que la mort
Les tambours
Battent aussi pour
Ton amour
Homme seul
Homme de fer
Grand Massaï
Seigneur de guerre
Les tambours
Battent aussi pour
Ton cœur lourd

Titles In Other Languages: Melodie Poesie;
Quando Tu Dormirai; No Es El Adios
Composer(s): Françoise Sagan;
Johannes Brahms; Georges Auric
Performer(s): Dalida; M. Altery;
Helen Merrill; Yves Montand
Quand tu dors près de moi
Tu murmures parfois
Le nom mal oublié
De cet homme que tu aimais
Et tout seul près de toi
Je me souviens tout bas
Toutes ces choses que je crois
Mais que toi, ma chérie, tu ne crois pas
Les gestes étourdissants
Etourdis de la nuit
Les mots émerveillés
Merveilleux de notre amour
Si cet air te rejoint
Si tu l'entends soudain
Je t'en pris, comme moi
Ne dis rien, mais rappelle-toi, chérie

Shotgun Slade
Shotgun Slade
Composer(s): W. Smith; Ralph Stanley
Performer(s): Ralph Stanley
Pa said, "Son, this land is yours"
Was his last words, I heard
"I'm here to say I'll die today
On a strength of my Pa's words"
Our leader stepped down to face him
Said, "Son, we mean no harm
We came today to cut a right-of-way
For the railroad through your farm"
"Pa said there'd be many like you
Who'll try to steal my land
Not to beckon it, but to call each bluff
With a shotgun in my hand"
"So, take your crew and leave here"
He then warned, the young lad said
The leader laughed and went on to work
And he shot our leader dead
Shotgun, that's what they called him
He was only seventeen
But Shotgun Slade with a gun in his hand
Was the meanest man I've seen
No-one else even raised a tune
Instead we all turned tale
The Sheriff didn't even bother
To put Shotgun in jail
The land ain't deeds and records
They searched all day till night
They all agreed to let him be
To Shotgun Slade goodbye
So today way out in Texas
There's a road that's still unmade
There's never been a choo-choo train
Cross the land of Shotgun Slade
Shotgun, that's what they called him
He was only seventeen
But Shotgun Slade with a gun in his hand
Was the meanest man I've seen
Shotgun, Shotgun
But Shotgun Slade with a gun in his hand
Was the meaniest man I've seen
But Shotgun Slade with his gun in his hand
Was the meanest man I've seen
But Shotgun Slade with the gun in his hand
Was the meanest man I've seen

Just a Little Lovin' (Will Go A Long, Long Way)
Just a Little Lovin' (Will Go A Long, Long Way)
Composer(s): Eddy Arnold; Zeke Clements
First recording/First release by: Eddy Arnold - 1948
Covered by multiple other artists
Just a little lovin' will go a long way
And you'll make me happy the rest of my days
Put your arms around me, then I'll be your slave
'Cause just a little lovin' will go a long way
Ever since time began, love has ruled the world
Eve and Adam set the pace and started in a whirl
I met you and now I know that you're the one for me
Come on back and you will plainly see
That just a little lovin' will go a long way
And you'll make me happy the rest of my days
Put your arms around me, then I'll be your slave
'Cause just a little lovin' will go a long way
I don't believe you really know how much that I love you
If you did you'd come on back and make my dreams come true
Your eyes, your lips, your loving kisses seem to linger yet
I'll forgive but please don't you forget.
That just a little lovin' will go a long way
And you'll make me happy the rest of my days
Put your arms around me, then I'll be your slave
'Cause just a little lovin' will go a long way

Quand Tu Es Là
Quand Tu Es Là
((Adapted from: The Game Of Love (Wayne Fontana and The Mindbenders) - 1964))
Composer(s): Clint Ballard Jr. - Franck Gérald
Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan - 1965
Malgré les jours de pluie malgré les nuages
Qui s'amusent à me cacher les rayons du soleil
Je vois toujours un coin de ciel bleu
Aussi bleu que tes yeux
Quand tu es là là la la la la la
Malgré le vent trop fort qui bat nos visages
Et ce vent qui va encore pleurer cette nuit
Je vois toujours un coin de ciel bleu
Aussi bleu que tes yeux
Quand tu es là là la la la la la
Je ne peux plus me passer de toi
J'ai besoin d'être dans tes bras
Tout s'arrange aussitôt pour moi
Dès que tu es là
Malgré tous les ennuis malgré les orages
Qui menacent quelquefois l'horizon de ma vie
Je vois toujours un coin de ciel bleu
Aussi bleu que tes yeux
Quand tu es là là là là là là là

Sei Solo Un Uomo In Più
Sei Solo Un Uomo In Più
(French Version: Rien Qu'un Homme De Plus)
Composer(s): Amerigo Casella; Alberto Cheli; Murio Luberti
Performer(s): Dalida
Io non ne morirei caro amore moi
Perchè in fondo è vero, che non c'è cosa migliore
Di una notte d'amore senza troppe parole
E se vuoi farmi un favore no non parlarmi d'amore
Sei solo un uomo in più, sei solo un uomo in più
Sei solo un uemo in più, sei solo un uomu in più
Non ti sei chiesto mai caro amore moi
Se ho bisogno anch'io di un amore vero
Senza il falso pudore che ti porti nel uore
L'immagine bianca di una donna
Che vive di un unico amore
Non è che mi faccia impazzire di gioia
L'immagine triste di un uomo
Che cerchi una donna fedele
Per dire al suo stupido orgoglio
Ti senti più uomo
Senza nessun rimpianto mi fai dire soltante
Sei solo un uomo in più, sei solo un uomo in più
Sei solo un uomo in più, sei solo un uomo in più
L'immagine bianca di una donna
Che vive di un unico amore
Non è che mi faccia impazzire di gioia
L'immagine triste di un uomo
Che cerchi una donna fedele
Per dire al suo stupido orgoglio
Ti senti più uomo
Senza nessun rimpianto mi fai dire soldanto
Sei solo un uomo in più, sei solo un uomo in più
Sei solo un uomo in più, sei solo un uomo in più...

Quand Tu M'Aimes
Quand Tu M'Aimes
English Title: When You Love Me
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour; Isabelle Boulay
C'est le vent turbulent
Soulevant tes dessous
C'est la pluie de printemps
Qui vient lécher mes joues
Quand tu m'aimes
C'est le soleil brûlant
Qui caresse ma peau
Et l'air léger du temps
Au souffle doux et chaud
Quand tu m'aimes
C'est en plus de tout ça
Mille choses encore
Qui sont à toi et moi
Et perturbent mon corps
D'une infinie faiblesse
Quand tu m'aimes
C'est ta voix qui se perd
Dans un râle amoureux
Qui fait vibrer ma chair
Et qui mouille mes yeux
De larmes de tendresse
Quand tu m'aimes
C'est le diable et l'enfer
Mêlés à tous nos jeux
C'est le ciel qu'est offert
A nous par tous les Dieux
Quand tu m'aimes
C'est l'éclipse et l'éclair
Qui allument nos joies
C'est l'écume des mers
Qui se meurt sur tes doigts
Quand tu m'aimes
C'est pétri par tes mains
Tous mes sens éveillés
C'es mon corps sur le tien
Nos souffle saccadés
Et nos gestes intimes
Quand tu m'aimes
Ce sont ces tendres cris
Et ces plaintes d'amour
Qui déchirent nos nuits
Et meurent au petit jour
Dans le plaisir ultime
Quand tu m'aimes
Quand tu m'aimes
Quand tu m'aimes
Mon amour

Sei Rimasta Sola
Sei Rimasta Sola
Composer(s): Mike DelPrete; Ricky Gianco
Performer(s): Adriano Celentano
Ora sei rimasta sola
piangi e non ricordi nulla
scende una lacrima sul tuo bel viso
lentamente, lentamente
Ora sei rimasta sola
cerchi il mio viso fra la folla
forse sulle tue piccole mani
stai piangendo il tuo passato
Ma domani chissà
se tu mi penserai
allora capirai
che tutto il mondo eri tu
la tua vita così
a niente servirà
e tutto intorno a te
più triste sembrerà
Ora sei rimasta sola
piangi e non ricordi nulla
scende una lacrima
sul tuo bel viso
lentamente, lentamente
lentamente, lentamente...

Quaaludes Again
Quaaludes Again
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Shel Silverstein; Bobby Dare
She falls through the doorway
Rolls down the hall
She bounces off the sofa
And walks into the wall
It's easy to see that she buckles and bends
She's doin' quaaludes again
Quaaludes again
Quaaludes again
If you've got aurora
You know for shorra
She's your friend
She's doin' quaaludes again
(guitar music)
She fumbles and stumbles
And falls down the stairs
Makes love to the leg of the diningroom chair
She's ready for animals, women or men
She's doin' quaaludes again
Quaaludes again
Again
Again
Quaaludes again
If you've got a lemon, a dog and three women
Then she's your friend
She's doing quaaludes again
Quaaludes again
Dialogue between man and woman with riff in the background):
He: Baby, you've been doing quaaludes again. Well, then who?
She: No. Not me. I don't have any quaaludes.
He: You don't have 'em cuz you took em all already.

Jim Bridger
Jim Bridger
Composer(s): Leon Payne
Performer(s): Johnny Horton; Bev Munro
Once there was a mountain man who couldn't write his name
Yet, he deserves a front row seat in history's hall of fame
He forgot more about the Indians than we will ever know
He spoke the language of the Sioux, the Blackfoot and the Crow
(Let's drink to old Jim Bridger, yes, lift your glasses high)
As long as there's a USA, don't let his memory die
(That he was makin' history never once occured to him)
But I doubt if we'd'a been here, if it weren't for men like Jim
He spoke with General Custer and said, "Listen, Yellow Hair,
The Sioux are a great nation, so treat 'em fair and square,
Sit in on their war council, don't laugh away their pride"
But Custer didn't listen, at Little Big Horn Custer died
(Let's drink to old Jim Bridger, yes, lift your glasses high)
As long as there's a USA, don't let his memory die
(That he was makin' history never once occured to him)
But I doubt if we'd'a been here, if it weren't for men like Jim
There's poems and there's legends that tell of Carson's fame
Yet, compared to Jim Bridger, Kit was civilised and tame
These words are straight from Carson's lips, if you place such store by him
"If there's a man who knows this Godforsaken land, it's Jim"
(Let's drink to old Jim Bridger, yes, lift your glasses high)
As long as there's a USA, don't let his memory die
(That he was makin' history never once occured to him)
But I doubt if we'd'a been here, if it weren't for men like Jim

Quadrilha
Quadrilha
Composer(s): Francis Hime; Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
E neste ano, como todo ano, uma vez por ano
Tem quadrilha no arraial
E neste ano, como sempre, salvo chuva e salvo engano
A satisfação é geral
Não me leve a mal
Não me leve a mal
O forró corria manso, sem problema e sem vexame
Quando o chefe da quadrilha decretou changer de dame
A mulher do delegado recebeu o bacharel
O peão laçou a jovem filha do coronel
A Terezuinha Crediário deu um passo com o vigário
A beata com o sacristão
Diz que a senhora do prefeito
Merecidamente eleito
Foi com o líder da oposição
Não tem nada não
Não tem nada não
Zé-com-fome deitou olho na patroa do ``seu'' Lima
Que não faz xodó na moça mas também não sai de cima
Juca largou a sanfona e, abandonando o salão
Foi prevaricar com a dona que vendia quentão
E foi doente com doutora, indigente e protetora
Foi aluna com professor
E o perigoso bandoleiro, Zé Durango ``El Justicero''
Fez beicinho pro promotor
Mas, faça o favor!
Mas, faça o favor!
O forró estereofônico estava mesmo um barato
Muita música na praça e muita dança lá no mato
Quem gozou da brincadeiram, muito bom, muito bem
Quem tomou chá de cadeira, só no ano que vem
Pois nesse ano, como todo ano, uma vez por ano
Tem quadrilha no arraial
E nesse ano, como sempre, salvo chuva e salvo engano
A satisfação é geral
Ninguém leva a mal
Ninguém leva a mal

Segundos Fuera
Segundos Fuera
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Estuve unos instantes con las alas quietas
Perdido en laberintos del "no se, quizá, tal vez..."
Sobre una nube de esas como de acuarela
Me hacia esas respuestas que no se deben hacer
Bastó ese breve tiempo de darse una tregua
Para sentir de pronto una traición bajo mis pies
El fuego de un relámpago quemo mis piernas
las alas se salvaron y no se muy bien por que
Para vivir
En pie de guerra
Segundos fuera, segundos fuera...
Que hoy por hoy, sigo aquí, aquí
Estuve unos instantes con la vela arriada
Perdido en laberintos del 'quien soy y a donde voy...'
creyendo que la mar se desnudaba en calma
salte a sus humedades y le declare mi amor
Basto ese breve tiempo de volver al agua
Para sentirme envuelto por los vientos de un ciclón
El odio de las olas desvío mi barca
Seguí la singladura que un albatros me marcó
Para vivir
Estuve unos instantes con la guardia baja
Perdido en laberintos del "¿soy uno, dos o tres?"
Absorto en esa duda no oí la campana
o acaso su tañido me evocaba mi niñez
Bastó ese breve tiempo de volver a casa
Para sentir un golpe bajo que me hizo caer
La lona me beso mordiendo unas monedas
La fuerza de aquel golpe me ayudo a ponerme en pie
Para vivir ...

Seguirá Vivo En Mí
Seguirá Vivo En Mí
Composer(s): José Miguel Galllardo; J. Israel
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Cuando el tiempo pase cruel
y se arrugue nuestra piel, con su huella
y se vayan de este hogar
nuestros hijos para andar, tras su estrella
Cuando no haya porvenir
y el deseo de vivir sea fatiga
cuando no nos quede ya
nada nuevo que esperar de la vida
Seguirá vivo en mi
cada instante de hoy
seguirá vivo en mi, mi amor
por la fuerza de hoy
Seguirá vivo en mi
cada instante de hoy
seguirá vivo en mi, mi amor
por la fuerza de hoy
Cuando casi sin querer
se blanquee nuestra cien, como nieve
y tengamos que matar
esos pocos años más, que nos queden
Cuando nuestro atardecer
un recuerdo del ayer, aún nos lleve
a un jardín de inmensidad
donde hace tiempo ya, que no llueve
Seguirá vivo en mi
cada instante de hoy
seguirá vivo en mi, mi amor
por la fuerza de hoy
Seguirá vivo en mi
cada instante de hoy
seguirá vivo en mi, mi amor
por la fuerza de hoy
Seguirá vivo en mi
Cuando se acerque el final
y tengamos que cruzar, el sendero
y recuerde con amor
los momentos que a los dos, se nos fueron
Cuando sólo quede ya
el instante de verdad, más sincero
sentirás como mi voz
te repite con mi adiós, que te quiero
Y seguirá vivo en ti
cada beso en tu piel
y seguirá vivo en ti, mi amor
aunque yo ya no este
seguirá vivo en ti
cada beso en tu piel
seguirá vivo en ti, mi amor
aunque yo ya no este

Quality Shoe
Quality Shoe
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Mark Knopfler
You got your toecaps reinforced with steel
Hard-wearing sole and heel
Make those tired feet feel like new
Take your pick, black or brown
Great for the country or the man in town
You're gonna need a quality shoe
You don't want no stand-by pair
'Cos these'll take the wear and tear
Made to take good care of you
For that trip by road or rail
For extra grip on those rocky trails
You're gonna need a quality shoe
Now they maybe ain't too hot for dancing
But I don't foresee too much of that
You ain't exactly gonna be prancing
Around in the moonlight
With a cane and a top hat
If you could use a change of pace
And be excused from the rat race
Just take a look at what's on view
Lace 'em up, walk around
I guarantee you can't wear 'em down
You're gonna need a quality shoe
Now I wish you sunny skies
And happiness wherever you may go
But you got to realise
There'll be wind, there'll be rain
And occasional snow
You're gonna want to smile in them
If you're gonna walk a mile in them
There'll be times when you'll be blue
To laugh at rainy days and then
Make your getaways in them
You're gonna need a quality shoe
You got your toecaps reinforced with steel
Hard-wearing sole and heel
Make those tired feet feel like new
Take your pick, black or brown
Great for the country or the man in town
You're gonna need a quality shoe
