Tomo um banho de lua
Fico branco como a neve
Se o luar é meu amigo
Censurar ninguém se atreve
Mas é tão bom sonhar contigo
Oh! luar tão cândido
Sob um banho de lua
Numa noite de esplendoor
Sinto a força da magia
Da magia do amoor
É tão bom sonhar contigo
Oh! luar tão cândido
Tim, tim, tim, raio de lua
Tim, tim, tim, baixando vem ao mundo
Oh! lua, oh! cândida lua vem
Tomo um banho de lua
Fico branco como a neve
Se o luar é meu amigo
Censurar ninguém se atreve
Mas é tão bom sonhar contigo
Oh! luar tão cândido
Tim, tim, tim, raio de lua
Tim, tim, tim, baixando vem ao mundo
Oh! lua, oh! cândida lua vem
Tomo um banho de lua
Fico branco como a neve
Se o luar é meu amigo
Censurar ninguém se atreve
Mas é tão bom sonhar contigo
Oh! luar tão cândido
Mas é tão bom sonhar contigo
Oh! luar tão cândido
Mas é tão bom sonhar contigo
Oh! luar tão cândido

Blackheart Man


Blackheart Man
Composer(s): Bunny O'Riley
Performer(s): Bunny Wailer



Tikya the Blackheart Man, children
I say, don't go near him
Tikya the Blackheart Man children
For even lions fear him
For even lions fear him

Growing in a neighbourhood for such along time
That is filled with fear
I can't go here, can't go there
And I ain't supposed to go anywhere
When I ask my Mom if she could let me go out and play
She said be careful of the stranger
Giving candies to children
And then take them away

He lives in the gullies of the city
He's the Blackheart Man (The blackheart Man)

Even in the lonely parts of the country
He's the Blackheart Man, Blackheart Man
Got no friend, no home, no family
He's the Blackheart 'Man, The Blackheart Man
He is famed to live just like the Gypsy
He's the Blackheart 'Man, The Blackheart Man

Growing and learning and gathering, for myself a little more
experience jumping over the fence
Curiousity has brought me yes it's brought me, a little common-sense
Trodding the road of life, I've come to this one conclusion
That everything is equal under the sun, all that is createdby Jah's mighty hand
And he said knock and it shall be opened
Seek and Ye shall find that wisdom is found in the simplest of places
In the nick of time, knock and it shall be opened
Seek and ye shall find that wisdom is found in the simplest of places, in the nick of time
and now I trod the same road of aflictions
just like the Blackheart Man, just like the Blackheart Man
Getting my share of humiliation just like the Blackheart Man
Just like the Blackheart Man
You'll find me even in the prison of the dungeons
just like the Blackheart Man, just like the the Blackheart Man
I even get blamed without a reason just like the Blackheart Man
Just like the Blackheart man yau

No cross, no crown, no sorrow, no trial and crosses In-a-I way
But the hotter the battle is the sweeter Jah Jah victory
Ancient children use to say if you want good
Your nose got to run run run
How could the world go free, and let Jah bear the cross alone
And them that drink of the old wine hath no place for the new
For the new and the stones that are head of the corner
are the same ones that the builders refused
Now, it's the Blackheart Man, children
Who've become the wonder of the city
Who've become the wonder of the city

Black-Eyed Susan


Black-Eyed Susan
(Traditional)



All in the dawn the fleet was moor'd
The streamers waving to the wind
When Black-eyed Susan came on board
Oh where shall I my true love find?
Tell me, ye jovial sailors, tell me true
If my sweet William, if my sweet William
Sails among your crew?

Oh William, who high upon the yard
Rocked with the billows to and fro
Soon as her well-known voice he heard
He sigh'd and cast his eyes below
The cord slides swiftly thro' his glowing hands
And as quick as lightning, and as quick as lightning
On the deck he stands

So sweet the lark, high poised in air
Shuts close his pinions to his breast
If, chance, his mate's shrill voice he hear
And drops at once into her nest
The noblest captain in the British fleet
Might envy William, might envy William's
Lip those kisses sweet

'Oh Susan, Susan, lovely dear!
My vows shall ever true remain
Let me kiss off that falling tear
We only part to meet again
Change as ye list, ye winds, my heart shall be
The faithful compass, the faithful compass
That still points to thee

'Oh, believe not what the landsmen say
Who tempt with doubts thy constant mind
They'll tell thee sailors when away
In every port a mistress find
Yes, yes, believe them when they tell thee so
For thou art present, for thou art present
Wheresoe'er I go

If to fair India's coast we sail
Thy eyes are seen in diamonds bright
Thy breath is Afric's spicy gale
Thy skin as ivory so white
Thus every beauteous object that I view
Wakes in my soul, wakes in my soul
Some charm of lovely Sue'

Though battle call me from thy arms
Let not my pretty Susan mourn
Though cannon roar, yet safe from harms
William shall to his dear return
Love turns aside the balls that round me fly
Lest precious tears, lest precious tears
Should drop from Susan's eye

The boatswain gave the dreadful word
Her sails their swelling bosom spread
No longer can she stay on board
They kissed, she sighed, he hung his head
Her lessening boat unwilling rows to land
'Adieu,' she cries, 'Adieu,' she cries
And waved her lily hand

Le Petit Cheval


Le Petit Cheval
Composer(s): Georges Brassens - Paul Fort
Performer(s): Georges Brassens; Maxime le Forestier



Le petit cheval dans le mauvais temps
Qu'il avait donc du courage
C'était un petit cheval blanc
Tous derrière et lui devant

Il n'y avait jamais de beau temps
Dans ce pauvre paysage
Il n'y avait jamais de printemps
Ni derrière ni devant

Mais toujours il était content
Menant les gars du village
A travers la pluie noire des champs
Tous derrière et lui devant

Sa voiture allait poursuivant
Sa belle petite queue sauvage
C'est alors qu'il était content
Tous derrière et lui devant

Mais un jour, dans le mauvais temps
Un jour qu'il était si sage
Il est mort par un éclair blanc
Tous derrière et lui devant

Il est mort sans voir le beau temps
Qu'il avait donc du courage
Il est mort sans voir le printemps
Ni derrière ni devant

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly

Take these sunken eyes and learn to see

You were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Le Petit Brouillard


Le Petit Brouillard Composer(s): Francis Lai - Jacques Plante Performer(s): Edith Piaf



Toujours ce sale petit brouillard Toujours ce sale petit cafard Qui vous transperce jusqu'aux os Et qui se colle à votre peau Il me semble le voir encore Le soir où son copain du port Lui apporta le faux passeport Et son visa pour Buenos Aires J'ignore ce qu'il avait fait Je n'avais compris qu'une chose Que sa dernière chance était Qu'il prenne ce navire à l'aube Et quand vint l'heure du départ Je reçus son dernier regard Dans le petit matin blafard Déchiré par les sirènes Toujours ce sale petit brouillard Toujours ce sale petit cafard Qui nous transperce jusqu'aux os Et qui se colle à votre peau La passerelle était levée Et c'est quand je l'ai cru sauvé Que des hommes sont arrivés Et l'on fait redescendre à terre J'ignore ce qu'il avait fait Mais, pour ne pas me compromettre Il passa menottes aux poignets Sans avoir l'air de me connaître Et depuis qu'ils l'ont emmené Je pense à lui des jours entiers En regardant les longs courriers Diminuer et disparaître Toujours ce sale petit brouillard Toujours ce sale petit cafard Toujours ce sale petit brouillard Toujours ce sale petit cafard Toujours ce sale petit brouillard Toujours ce sale petit cafard...

Blackberry Way


Blackberry Way
Italian Title: Tutta Mia La Città
Composer(s): Roy Wood
Originally performed by: The Move
Covered by various other artists



Blackberry way, absolutely pouring down with rain
It's a terrible day, up wih the lark
Silly girl I don't know what to say
She was running away
So now I'm standing on the corner
Lost in the things that I said
What am I supposd to do now

Chorus
Goodbye Blackberry Way, I can't see you, I don't need you
Goodbye Blackberry Way, syre to want me back another day
Down to the park, overgrowing but the trees are bare
There's a mmory there
Boats on the lake unattended
Now the laughter's drowned I'm incredibly down
Just like myself they are neglected, turn with my eyes to the wall
What am I supposed to do now

Chorus

Oooh-la Oooh-la oo Ooh
Oooh-la Oooh-la oo Ooh
Run for the train look behind you for she may be there
Said a thing in the air
Blackberry Way se the battle field of careless sins
Cast to the winds so full of emptiness without her
Lost in the words that I said
What am I supposed to do now

Chorus
(repeat)

Le P'tit Bonheur


Le P'tit Bonheur
((Italian Version: Il Piccolo Amore (by Dalida))
Composer(s): Félix Leclerc
Performer(s): Félix Leclerc
and multiple other artists



C'est un petit bonheur
Que j'avais ramassé
Il était tout en pleurs
Sur le bord d'un fossé

Quand il m'a vu passer
Il s'est mis à crier
Madame, ramassez-moi chez vous, amenez-moi
Mes frères m'ont oublié je suis tombé, je suis malade
Si vous n'me cueillez point je vais mourir quelle ballade
Je me ferai petit, tendre et soumis je vous le jure
Madame, je vous en prie délivrez-moi de ma torture

J'ai pris le p'tit bonheur
L'ai mis sous mes haillons
J'ai dit faut pas qu'il meurt
Viens donc dans ma maison
Alors le p'tit bonheur
A fait sa guérison
Sur le bord de mon cœur
Y avait une chanson

Mes jours, mes nuits, mes peines , mes veilles, mon mal, tout fut oublié
Ma vie de désœuvrée j'avais dégoût d'la recommencer
Quand il pleuvait dehors ou qu'mes amis amis m'faisaient des peines
J'prenais mon p'ti bonheur et j'lui disais c'est toi que j'aime

Mon bonheur a fleuri
Il a fait des bourgeons
C'était le paradis
Ça s'voyait sur mon front
Or un matin joli
Que je sifflais ce refrain
Mon bonheur est parti
Sans me donner la main
J'eu beau le supplier, le cajoler, lui faire des scènes
Lui montrer le grand trou qu'il me faisait au fond du cœur
Il s'en allait toujours la tête haute, sans joie sans haine
Comme s'il ne pouvait plus voir le soleil dans ma demeure

J'ai bien pensé mourir
De chagrin et d'ennui
J'avais cessé de rire
C'était toujours la nuit
Il me restait l'oubli
Il me restait l'mépris
Enfin que j'me suis dit
Il me reste la vie

J'ai repris mon bâton, mes deuils, mes peines et mes bagages
Et je bats la semelle dans des pays de malheureux
Aujourd'hui quand je pars à l'aventure et en voyage
Je fais un grand détour ou bien je me ferme les yeux
Je fais un grand détour ou bien je me ferme les yeux

Black, Brown And White


Black, Brown And White
Composer(s): Big Bill Broonzy
Performer(s): Big Bill Broonzy;
Brownie McGhee; Faith Nolan



This little song that I'm singin' about
People you know it's true
If you're black and gotta work for a living
This is what they will say to you

They says if you was white, should be all right
If you was brown, stick around
But as you's black, m-mm brother, git back git back git back

I was in a place one night
They was all having fun
They was all byin' beer and wine
But they would not sell me none

They said if you was white, should be all right
If you was brown, stick around
But if you black, m-mm brother, git back git back git back

Me and a man was workin' side by side
This is what it meant
They was paying him a dollar an hour
And they was paying me fifty cent

They said if you was white, 't should be all right
If you was brown, could stick around
But as you black, m-mm boy, git back git back git back

I went to an employment office
Got a number 'n' I got in line
They called everybody's number
But they never did call mine

They said if you was white, should be all right
If you was brown, could stick around
But as you black, m-mm brother, git back git back git back

I hope when sweet victory
With my plough and hoe
Now I want you to tell me brother
What you gonna do about the old Jim Crow?

Now if you was white, should be all right
If you was brown, could stick around
But if you black, whoa brother, git back git back git back

Les portes du pénitencier
Bientôt vont se fermer
Et c'est là que je finirai ma vie
Comm'd'autres gars l'ont finie
Pour moi ma mère a donné
Sa robe de mariée
Peux-tu jamais me pardonner
Je t'ai trop fait pleurer
Le soleil n'est pas fait pour nous
C'est la nuit qu'on peut tricher
Toi qui ce soir a tout perdu
Demain tu peux gagner

O mères, écoutez-moi
Ne laissez jamais vos garçons
Seuls la nuit traîner dans les rues
Ils iront tout droit en prison
Toi la fille qui m'a aimé
Je t'ai trop fait pleurer
Les larmes de honte que tu as versées
Il faut les oublier
Les portes du pénitencier
Bientôt vont se fermer
Et c'est là que je finirai ma vie
Comm'd'autres gars l'ont finie

non arriverà

si spegne insieme a noi

Black Velvet Band


Black Velvet Band
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Dubliners
and various other artists



In a neat little town they call Belfast
Apprentice to trade I was bound
Many an hours sweet happiness
Have I spent in that neat little town

A sad misfortune came o'er me
Which caused me to stray from the land
Far away from my friends and relations
Betrayed by the black velvet band

Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair, it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band

I took a stroll down Broadway
Meaning not long for to stay
When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid
Come a tripping along the highway

She was both fair and handsome
Her neck it was just like a swans
And her hair it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band

Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair, it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band

I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid
And a gentleman passing us by
Well I knew she meant the doing of him
By the look in her roguish black eye

A gold watch she took from his pocket
And placed it right into my hand
And the very first thing that I said
Was bad luck to the black velvet band

Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band

Before the judge and the jury
Next morning I had to appear
The judge he says to me
"Young man, your case it is proven clear

We'll give you seven years penal servitude
To be spent faraway from this land
Far away from your friends and companions
Betrayed by the black velvet band"

Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band

So come all you jolly young fellows
A warning take by me
When you are out on the town, me lads
Beware of them pretty colleens

For they feed you with strong drink, oh yeah
'Til you are unable to stand
And the very next thing that you'll know is
You've landed in Van Diemens Land

Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band

Aqui nació, aqui soñó
aqui vivió mi amor

no sigues junto a mi
no esta mi amor
no esta

Hogar del sol naciente
sol que ya no esta
un sol que ya no alumbrará
no, no alumbrará

Si nunca voy a verte
si jamás tu volverás
yo me ire muy lejos
de este hogar
donde al fin
yo te pueda olvidar

Si nunca voy a verte
jamás te voy a olvidar

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin for many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
Sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gambling' man
Down in New Orleans

Now, the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he'll be satisfied
Is when he's all drunk

Oh, Mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the house of the Rising Sun

Well, I've got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm going back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin for many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one

You add some yogurt and you'll be well fed

Le Pêcheur (Georges Brassens)


Le Pêcheur
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
Performer(s): Georges Brassens



On dirait un fanatique
De la cause halieutique
Avec sa belle canne et
Son moulinet
Mais s'il pêche, c'est pour rire
Et l'on peut être certain
Que jamais sa poêle à frire
Vit le plus menu fretin

La pêche, à ce qu'on raconte
Pour lui n'est en fin de compte
Qu'un prétexte, un alibi
On connaît pis
Un truc, un moyen plausible
De fuir un peu son chez-soi
Où sévit la plus nuisible
Des maritornes qui soient

Avec une joie maligne
Il monte au bout de sa ligne
Tout un tas d'objets divers
Des bouts de fer
Des paillassons, des sandales
Des vieilles chaussett's à clous
Des noyés faisant scandale
Aussitôt qu'on les renfloue

Si, déçu par une blonde
Pensant faire un trou dans l'onde
Tu tiens plus à te noyer
Qu'à te mouiller
Désespéré, fais en sorte
D'aller piquer ton plongeon
De peur qu'il ne te ressorte
À l'écart de son bouchon

Quand un goujon le taquine
Qu'un gardon d'humeur coquine
Se laisse pour badiner
Hameçonner
Le bonhomme lui reproche
Sa conduite puérile
Puis à sa queue il accroche
Un petit poisson d'avril

Mais s'il attrape une ondine
L'une de ces gourgandines
Femme mi-chair mi-poisson
Le polisson
Coup de théâtre - dévore
Tout cru le bel animal
Une cure de phosphore
Ça peut pas faire de mal

Quand il mourra, quand la Parque
L'emmènera dans sa barque
En aval et en amont
Truites, saumons
Le crêpe à la queue sans doute
L'escorteront chagrinés
Laissant la rivière toute
Vide, désempoissonnée

Lors, tombés dans la disette
Repliant leurs épuisettes
Tout penauds, tout pleurnicheurs
Les vrais pêcheurs
Rentreront chez eux bredouilles
Danser devant le buffet
Se faisant traiter d'andouilles
Par leur compagne
Bien fait!

Black Star
Composer(s): Sherman Edwards; Donald Meyer; Sid Wayne
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



Every man has a black star
A black star over his shoulder
And when a man sees his black star
He knows his time, his time has come

Black star don't shine on me, black star
Black star keep behind me, black star
There's a lot of livin' I gotta do
Give me time to make a few dreams come true
Black star

When I ride I feel that black star
That black star over my shoulder
So I ride in front of that black star
Never lookin' around, never lookin' around

Black star don't shine on me, black star
Black star keep behind me, black star
There's a lot of livin' I gotta do
Give me time to make a few dreams come true
Black star

One fine day I'll see that black star
That black star over my shoulder
And when I see that old black star
I'll know my time, my time has come

Black star don't shine on me, black star
Black star keep behind me, black star
There's a lot of livin' I gotta do
Give me time to make a few dreams come true
Black star
