Ne Cherche Pas


Ne Cherche Pas
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë; Michel Fugain
Performer(s): Michel Fugain



{Refrain:}
Ne cherche pas, ne t'inquiète pas la verité dort au fond de toi
Réveille-la, elle brillera comme un diamant de cent carras
On vient, on va, on fait tant de pas pour trouver ce qu'on a sous les doigts
Elle a ta voix elle est comme toi, la vérité mon amie c'est toi.

Regarde bien il y a tand de chose à voir
Le monde est plein de soleil et de cris d'espoir
Ne te laisse pas envahir et protège-toi
Garde-toi de ce qui ne te ressemble pas

Refrain...

Mais c'est aussi l'étranger qui te dit "salut"
Et c'est encore un enfant qui joue dans la rue
C'est la musique venue de la nuit des temps
C'est aujourd'hui devant toi le soleil levant

Refrain x 3

In The Moon Mist


In The Moon Mist
Composer(s): Jack Lawrence
Performer(s): Doris Day
and multiple other artists



One night I wandered by a stream
And you were standing in the moon mist
I thought at first you were a dream
Until you smiled there in the moon mist
The first faint flush of love was
On your stylish face
And in the hush of love
We met in one embrace
Now till we meet again I'll treasure
That moment when we kissed in the moon mist

Ne Changeons Rien


Ne Changeons Rien
Composer(s): Claude Moine; P. Papadiamandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



Y a des bavures dans la police
Des fuites de tuyaux atomiques
Des pirates de l'air et du disque
Des scandales au niveau du fisc
Oui mais moi....

J'suis pas l'ami des tuniques bleues
J'deviens mutant un tout p'tit peu
J'suis escroqué comme un touriste
Ma feuille d'impôt est un jeu d'piste
C'est comme ça!

Très bien!
Ne changeons rien!
On vit une époque fantastique
Très bien!
Ne changeons rien!
On vit une époque fantastique

J'veux changer d'planète ou d'orbite
Fuir avec toi et quelques disques
Mais faire l'amour en satellite
N'est pas vraiment des plus pratique

Et puis toi...
Tu attends encore le Messie!
Promesses miracles et Bon Dieu-zeries
Moi j'suis pollué, lâche et craintif
Je cours toujours après le fric
C'est comme ça!

Très bien!
Ne changeons rien!
On vit une époque fantastique
Très bien!
Ne changeons rien!
On vit une époque fantastique

Très bien!
Ne changeons rien!
On vit une époque fantastique
Très bien!
Ne changeons rien!
On vit une époque fantastique
Très bien!
Ne changeons rien!
On vit une époque fantastique

In The Mood


In The Mood
(Finnish Version: Tunnelmassa - 1973)
Composer(s): Joe Garland; Andy Razaf
First release/First recording by: Edgar Hayes & His Orch.; The Andrews Sisters - 1938/1952
Covered by multiple other artists



Who's the lovin' daddy with the beautiful eyes
What a pair o' lips, I'd like to try 'em for size
I'll just tell him, "Baby, won't you swing it with me"
Hope he tells me maybe, what a wing it will be
So, I said politely "Darlin' may I intrude"
He said "Don't keep me waitin' when I'm in the mood"
First I held him lightly and we started to dance
Then I held him tightly what a dreamy romance
And I said "Hey, baby, it's a quarter to three
There's a mess of moonlight, won't-cha share it with me"
"Well" he answered "Baby, don't-cha know that it's rude
To keep my two lips waitin' when they're in the mood"
In the mood, that's what he told me
In the mood, and when he told me
In the mood, my heart was skippin'
It didn't take me long to say "I'm in the mood now"
In the mood for all his kissin'
In the mood his crazy lovin'
In the mood what I was missin'
It didn't take me long to say "I'm in the mood now"

So, I said politely "Darlin' may I intrude"
He said "Don't keep me waitin' when I'm in the mood"

"Well" he answered "Baby, don't-cha know that it's rude
To keep my two lips waitin' when they're in the mood"
Who's the lovin' daddy with the beautiful eyes
What a pair o' lips, I'd like to try 'em for size
I'll just tell him, "Baby, won't you swing it with me"
Hope he tells me maybe, what a wing it will be
So, I said politely "Darlin' may I intrude"
He said "Don't keep me waitin' when I'm in the mood"
First I held him lightly and we started to dance
Then I held him tightly what a dreamy romance
And I said "Hey, baby, it's a quarter to three
It's a mess of moonlight, won't-cha share it with me"
"Well" he answered "Baby, don't-cha know that it's rude
To keep my two lips waitin' when they're in the mood"

Navy Blue


Navy Blue
Composer(s): Bob Crewe; Eddie Rambeau; Bud Rehak
Performer(s): Diane Renay



Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be
'cause my steady boy said "Ship ahoy"
And joined the Nay-ee-ay-vee

He said he wanted to settle down
And let me be his girl
But first he had to do a little travelin' around
And see the whole wide world

That's why I'm ..
Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be
'cause my steady boy said "Ship ahoy"
And joined the Nay-ee-ay-vee

I got a letter yesterday from Tokyo
And a souvenir
A walky-talky wind-up little China doll
That says "Wish you were here"

Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be
'cause my steady boy said "Ship ahoy"
And joined the Nay-ee-ay-vee

He's comin' home to see me on a weekend pass
A forty-eight hour day-ate
That boat he's sailin' on just better get here fast
'cause I can hardly wait

Till then I'm ..
Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be
'cause my steady boy said "Ship ahoy"
And joined the Nay-ee-ay-vee

(Diane sings an elongated "ah-ahhhhhh" while backups do
"Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be")

Tunnelmassa


Tunnelmassa
(Adapted from: In The Mood - 1938/1952)
Composer(s): Joe Garland; Andy Razaf; M.A. Numminen
Performer(s): M.A. Numminen - 1973



Poika ravintolaan astui juomia juomaan
Siellä tutustui hän sitten muutamaan kuomaan
Miehet illanmittaan pyysi yhä lisää tuomaan
Näetsen juoma hieman
Auttaa tunnelmaa luomaan
Sanoi kuoma olet hieman tuiskeessa huomaan
No tämän tunnelman kai pystyt mulle suomaan

Alkoi pojan siinä mieli tehdä pikku palaa
Hänpä valitsi menyyltä paistettua kalaa
Syönnin jälkeen vilkaisi hän naisia salaa
Tuota pikaa naisia tanssin pyörteessä halaa
Käsi sydämmellä vannoi jopa lemmenvalaaa
Nainen nauroi vain ja lauloi lalalaa

Tanssittiin - vai niin
Poika hieman horjahti – nojaa
Nainen silloin läheni – ahaa –
Ja yhtäkkiä kaiken kansan
keskellä he pussas ja taas tanssittiin – vai niin
Se vaikutti myös tunnelmiin – kas vaan
Ja sitten hieman kiihkeiltiin - ahaa
Ja hiukan innostutiin ja poikapa milteipä kopeloikin

Poikaa seuraavana päivän oli okei
Vaikka hän ei tunnelmassa enää ollutkaan ei
Niin hän silti muisti kuinka paistettu sei
Herkkusienten kanssa hältä nälän jo vei
Muisti tanssiessa huutaneensa helei
Olettekste muutkin ihan heihei

Poika itseksensä silloin huusi ahoi
Jopa pojan päässä illan tunnelma taas soi
Muisti parketinkin jolla tanssia voi
Niinpä ravintolaan jälleen katseen hän loi
Miltei samassa jo juoman tarjoilija toi
Poika huusi hälle jälleen moi

Siispä poika jälleen riemumielellä juo
Hyvät juomat oikein hienon tunnelman luo

Miehet orkesterin soittaa mainiot nuo
Naisten lanneliike ilon silmälle suo
Joka ilta aina lisää tuttuja tuo
On tunnelmainen viinivirran vuo

Siispä poika jälleen riemumielellä juo
Hyvät juomat oikein hienon tunnelman luo
Miehet orkesterin soittaa mainiot nuo
Naisten lanneliike ilon silmälle suo
Joka ilta aina lisää tuttuja tuo

On tunnelimaisen tunnelmainen
Tunnelimaisen tunnelmainen
Tunnelimaisen tunnelmainen
Tunnelimainen on tunnelimainen on
Tunnelmainen on viinivirran vuoooo!

In The Misty Moonlight


In The Misty Moonlight
Composer(s): Cindy Walker
Performer(s): Jerry Wallace



In the misty moonlight
By the flickering firelight
Any place is all right
Long as I'm with you (as long as I'm with you-ooh)

In a far-away land
On the tropic sea sand
If your hand's in my hand
I won't be blue

Way up on the mountain
Or way down in the va-a-alley
I know I'll be happy
Anyplace, anywhere, I don't care

In the misty moonlight
By the flickering firelight
Any place is all right
Long as you are there

I could be happy in one little room with only a table and chair
As happy as I'd be in a kingdom by the sea, darling, if you were there
And I could be rich or I could be poor ... but if you were by my side
I could be any place in this whole wide world ... and I know I'd be satisfied

Way up on the mountain
Or way down in the va-a-alley
I know I'll be happy
Anyplace, anywhere, I don't care

In the misty moonlight
By the flickering firelight
Any place is all right
Long as you are there

In the misty moonlight
By the flickering firelight
Any place is all right
Long as you are there

In the misty moonlight
By the flickering firelight
Any place is all right
Long as you are there ...

Navegando Hacia El Este


Navegando Hacia El Este
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Navegando hacia el Este está
la ciudad de lso recuerdos
rara población de oscuridad
Navegando hacia el Este está
su perfil de joyería
con una trastienda de cartón

Yendo hacia el Este
llegué peregrinando
llegué palideciendo
Yendo hacia el Este
crucé su umbral silbando
crucé su umbral oyendo
Y así, silvestres
aparecieron cien mil visiones
en las esquinas
en las tabernas
en las mujeres
como guardianes desiertos

Navegando hacia el Este está
la ciudad de cien cabezas
y en cada cabeza estaba yo
Navegando hacia el Este está
su gobierno de colores
aunque el arcoiris no va a Dios

Yendo hacia el Este puede verse
el país de nunca jamás
Allí los hombres nunca llegan a niños
se mueren al nacer
Ciudad de trampas
y cacerías muy silenciosas
Ciudad fantasma
de perros grises y manos muertas
Ciudad con sangre de cruces

Navegando hacia el Este está
la ciudad de un camino
que parte y regresa siempre atrás
Navegando hacia el Este está
la ciudad de la locura
como un alarido de dolor

Navajo Rug


Navajo Rug
Composer(s): Tom Russell; Ian Tyson
Performer(s): Ian Tyson;
Tom Russell; Jerry Jeff Walker



Well it's two eggs up on whiskey toast
Home fries on the side
Wash it down with roadhouse coffee
Burns up your inside
It's a canyon, Colorado diner
And a waitress I did love
I sat in the back 'neath an old stuffed bear
And a worn out Navajo rug

Now old Jack the boss, he left at six
And it's, 'Katie bar the door'
She'd pull down that Navajo rug
And she spread it on the floor
Hey, I saw lightning 'cross the sacred mountains
Saw woven turtle doves
When I was Iying next to Katie
On that old Navajo rug

Aye, aye, aye, Katie
Shades of red and blue
Aye, aye, aye, Katie
Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you?

I saw old Jack about a year ago
He said the place burned to the ground
And all I saued was this here old bear tooth
And Katie she's left town
But Katie, she got her souvenir too
Jack spit a tobacco plug
You shoulda seen her coming through the smoke
With that old Navajo rug

So every time I cross the sacred mountains
And lightning breaks above
It always takes me back in time
To my long lost Katie love
But everything keeps on a moving
And everyone's on the go
You don't find things that last anymore
Like an old woven Navajo

Aye, aye, aye, Katie
Shades of red and blue
Ayer aye, aye, Katie
Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you!

Don't cross the street in the middle
In the middle, in the middle, in the middle
In the middle of the block
Teach your eyes to look out
Teach your ears to hear
Walk up to the corner
Where the coast is clear
And wait...
And wait...
Until you see the light turn green

Naufragée Du Tendre


Naufragée Du Tendre
English Title: Shipwrecked
Composer(s): Philippe Tatartcheff; Anna McGarrigle
Performer(s): Kate & Anna McGarrigle



Dans une glace transparente
Un reflet ne reflètant rien
Lorsque je t'appelle
Tu ne réponds pas

Quand je suis arrivé
Tu n'étais déjà plus là
Je me suis écroulé en pleurant
C'était pas tellement çà
Qui m'avait chaviré
Mais pour la première fois tu me manquais

Quand j'étais avec toi
Que les jours étaient longs
Mais les nuits étaient trop courtes pour exprimer
La tendresse et le besoin
Que je ressentais parfois
De t'avoir auprès de moi te consoler

Que c'est bête de te parler
Quand t'es pas la pour m'écouter
Que c'est bête de te parler
Quand t'es pas là pour m'écouter

Que de fois j'ai supplié
Le destin de m'accorder
Un sourire, une parole, une attention
Combien de fois j'eus échangé
L'univers très volontiers
Pour un seul de tes regards si invitants

J'ai bien dû m'en aller
Je ne pouvais pas cèder
A la mélancolie m'enhavissant
Mais sans avoir d'autre intention
Que de partir tout bêtement
Et de masquer mon désarroi en me cachant

Que c'est bête de te parler...

In The Middle Of The House


In The Middle Of The House
Composer(s): Bob Hilliard
Performer(s): Vaughn Monroe
and multiple other artists



The railroad comes through the middle of the house
The railroad comes through the middle of the house
The trains all come through the middle of the house
Since the company bought the land

They let us live in the front of the house
They let us live in the back
But there ain't no living in the middle of the house
'Cause that's the railroad track

When a bill collector comes to the house
He knocks and bangs on the door
So we sit him right down in the middle of the house
And he never comes back no more
No, he never comes back no more

The railroad comes through the middle of the house
The railroad comes through the middle of the house
It comes and goes through the middle of the house
And the trains are all on time
And here comes the 5:09

The railroad comes through the middle of the house
The in and out of the middle of the house
Right smack dab through the middle of the house
Where the parlor used to be

There's a great big door in the front of the house
There's a little old door in the back
But we can't have doors in the middle of the house
'Cause that's the railroad track

A relative came to visit the house
He liked to scream and fuss
So we sat him right down in the middle of the house
And he never more bothered us
No, he never more bothered us

Oh, the railroad comes through the middle of the house
The railroad comes through the middle of the house
It comes and goes through the middle of the house
Since the trains are all on time

I'm singing this song in the middle of the house...
(Woooh-Woooh - sound of train rushing by)

Natureza Noturna
Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner; Capinan
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Eu tenho o mesmo segredo
Dos malditos solitários
Só a noite é minha amiga
A quem friamente confesso
A natureza noturna
Dos meus infernos diários
Nem a mulher que me ama
Se quer a moça de gênio
Nem a de riso argentino
Nem a de beijo flamengo
Nem a fã no seu afã
Nem as bonecas do tempo
Nem o poeta ordinário
Nem literato de prêmio
Eu tenho o mesmo segredo
Dos malditos solitários
Ninguém sabe a natureza
Dos meus infernos diários

Performer(s): Dusty Springfield
and multiple other artists



Where does our love lie?
In the middle of nowhere
Will it soon pass me by?
In the middle of nowhere

Baby, won't you tell me
What am I to do?
I'm in the middle of nowhere
Getting nowhere with you

Mmm, where did my heart land?
In the middle of nowhere
Where are the dreams I planned?
In the middle of nowhere

Listen to me baby
Listen to my plea
I'm in the middle of nowhere
And it's worrying me

Over and over again
You tell me you need my love
If what you say is true
Why can't we be together?

Over and over you tell me
I'm all that you're thinking of
Baby you know that I love you
But I can't wait forever

Where does our love lie?
In the middle of nowhere
How can you let it die?
In the middle of nowhere

Are you gonna leave me?
Leave my heart astray
I'm in the middle of nowhere
Come and show me the way

Over and over again
You tell me you need my love
Baby you know that I love you
But I can't wait forever

Where does our love lie?
In the middle of nowhere
How can you let it die?
In the middle of nowhere

Are you gonna leave me
And leave my heart astray
I'm in the middle of nowhere
Come and show me the way

Hey, where does our love lie?
Come on now
Where does our love lie?
Right slap in the middle of nowhere
Right slap in the middle of nowhere
Right slap in the middle of nowhere

In The Middle Of An Island
Composer(s): Nick Acquaviva; Ted Varnick
Performer(s): Tony Bennett
and multiple other artists



In the middle of an island
In the middle of the ocean
You and I beneath the moonlight
With just the monkeys and the palm trees

In the middle of an island
When it's time to do some kissin'
Plenty time for lotsa lovin'
And walkin' barefoot in the sand

Though there's no island at all
Just a picture on my wall
My darlin', how I wish we could be
(I wish that we could be)

In the middle of an island
In the middle of the ocean
You and I forever, darlin'
In a paradise for two (in a paradise for two)

Though there's no island at all
Just a picture on my wall
My darlin', how I wish we could be
(I wish that we could be)

In the middle of an island
In the middle of the ocean
You and I forever, darlin'
In a paradise for two
(In the middle of the ocean on an island kissin' you)

Nature Of The Game


Nature Of The Game
Composer(s): Christopher Cross
Performer(s): Christopher Cross



Taking my time
Walking the line
For someone who doesn't care
Taking my time
Just walking the line
For someone who's never there

It's a fool's game -- that I know
Nothing but a broken heart to show
And I know I'll never change
It's the nature of the game

She loves me -- she loves me not
Remember how your heart used to stop
As the petals would hit the floor
How you wished there could be just one more

In The Merry Merry Month Of May


In The Merry Merry Month Of May (aka Barbara Allen)
(Traditional)



Was in the merry month of May
When flowers were a bloomin'
Sweet William on his death-bed lay
For the love of Barbara Allen

Slowly, slowly she got up
And slowly she went nigh him
And all she said when she got there
"Young man, I think you're dying"

"O yes, I'm sick and very low
And death is on me dwellin'
No better shall I ever be
If I don't get Barbara Allen"

"Don't you remember the other day
When you were in the tavern
I toasted all the ladies there
And slighted Barbara Allen?"

"O yes, I remember the other day
When we were in the Tavern
I toasted all the ladies there
Gave my love to Barbara Allen"

He turned his pale face to the wall
And death was on him dwellin'
"Adieu, Adieu, my kind friends all
Be kind to Barbara Allen"
As she was walkin' through the fields
She heard the death bells knelling
And every toll they seemed to say
"Hard-hearted Barbara Allen"

She looked east, she looked west
She saw his corpse a-comin'
"Lay down, lay down the corpse" she said
"And let me gaze upon him"

"O mother, mother make my bed
O make it long and narrow
Sweet William died for me today
I'll die for him tomorrow"

Sweet William died on a Saturday night
And Barbara died on Sunday
Her mother died for the love of both
And was buried Easter Monday

They buried Willie in the old church yard
And Barbara there anigh him
And out of his grave grew a red, red rose
And out of hers, a briar

They grew and grew in the old churchyard
Till they couldn't grow no higher
They lapped and tied in a true love's knot
The rose ran around the briar
