The Proposal


The Proposal
Composer(s): Alan Bergman - Marilyn Bergman - Norman Luboff
Performer(s): Norman Luboff Choir; The Brothers Four



Barma says je vous aime pour tu Marie
How I want to marry you
Never, never have I proposed before
What I tell you is true

Barma says je vous aime pour tu Marie
How I want to marry you
I can promise most happy life with me
If you answer "I do"

I travel over mountain and hill
I even sail the tropical sea
I never feel excitement until
You look in the direction of me

Now the situation is clear
No more travelling will I do
Because I have a romantic ideal
And you know it's all about you

I'll build a house for you in the sun
And from the window we'll see the moon
We'll be the envy of ev'ryone
And we'll be more than two very soon

Barma says je vous aime pour tu Marie
How I want to marry you
Never, never have I proposed before
What I tell you is true

Barma says je vous aime pour tu Marie
How I want to marry you
I can promise most happy life with me
If you answer "I do"

Ciribiribin (Elyane Célis)


Ciribiribin
((Dutch, English, & Italian Versions:
Chiribiribin (Willy & Willeke Alberti); Ciribiribin (They're So in Love) (Harry James); Ciribiribin (Grace Moore))
Composer(s): Alberto Pestalozza - Léo Lelievre - Henri Christiné
Performer(s): Elyane Célis
and multiple other artists



Délaissant sa jeune femme
Qui pousse un profond soupir
Le mari vieux et sans flamme
Dans sa chambre va dormir
Alors se sentant renaître
Et bravant le Bartolo
Elle court à la fenêtre
Écouter son Roméo
Dans son refrain le troubadour
Redit joyeux ce mot d'amour
Toujours
Toujours
Ciribiribin
Ciribiribin
Ciribiribin

Ciribiribin, vite ouvre-moi
Je veux chanter auprès de toi
Ciribiribin, ce mot n'est rien
Cependant tu le comprends bien
Ciribiribin, je veux monter
Te prendre afin de me griser
Ciribiribin
Ciribiribin
Ciribiribin, un doux baiser

N'étant pas du tout rebelle
Pour mieux l'entendre chanter
Sa charmante ritournelle
Elle dit: tu peux monter
Puisque mon époux me sèvre
De ce refrain si charmant
Je l'apprendrai sur ta lèvre
En t'enlaçant tendrement
Bientôt après au troubadour
Elle disait ce mot d'amour
Toujours
Toujours
Ciribiribin
Ciribiribin
Ciribiribin

Ciribiribin, cet air me plaît
Reprenons le dernier couplet
Ciribiribin, mon mari dort
Mon chéri répétons encore
Ciribiribin, ô mon amant
Viens me refaire gentiment
Ciribiribin
Ciribiribin
Ciribiribin, un doux serment

Tout à coup l'époux s'éveille
En entendant le duo
Sa fureur est sans pareille
Pourtant il ne souffle mot
Car il n'empêchera guère
Les deux amants de chanter
Et ne pouvant rien y faire
Il murmure dépité
Entre les bras du troubadour
Elle a chanté ce mot d'amour
Toujours
Toujours
Ciribiribin
Ciribiribin
Ciribiribin

Ciribiribin, l'air menaçant
La lune me montre un croissant
Ciribiribin, quand il ne peut
Chanter ce refrain amoureux
Ciribiribin, le vieux mari
Par son épouse, est chaque nuit
Ciribiribin
Ciribiribin
Ciribiribin, toujours puni

Rendez-Vous À Brazilia


Rendez-Vous À Brazilia
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour;
Georges Garvarentz; Clement Nicolas
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Le coeur du Brésil s'élance
Dans un carnaval immense
Tout le pays est en transe
Rendez-vous à Brazilia
Aujourd'hui c'est jour de fête
C'est un long cri de conquêtes
Qui raisonne dans nos têtes
Rendez-vous à Brazilia
Que l'on soit pauvre ou bien riche
Croyant Dieu ou les fétiches
C'est la joie que l'on affiche
De Rio jusqu'à Bagna
On a refermé les églises
Et la foule se déguise
Pour s'amuser à sa guise
Rendez-vous à Brazilia
Du marché à la chapelle
Les piazzas jusqu'aux ruelles
On s'appelle on s'interpelle
Rendez-vous à Brazilia
De toutes parts la joie fuse
Les gens rient les gens s'amusent
Les chanteurs trouvent leur muse
Rendez-vous à Brazilia
Dans ce joyeux tintamarre
De couicases et de guitares
Dansent des masques bizzares
Frappant leur sol de leurs pas
Et les confettis en cascade
Tombent sur les mascarades
L'amour est en embuscade
Rendez-vous à Brazilia
Bras au ciel on s'abandonne
Mais que Rio nous pardonne
Si déjà ce cri raisonne
Rendez-vous à Brazilia
Non ce n'est plus un mirage
Tout est prêt pour le voyage
Carioca fait tes bagages
Rendez-vous à Brazilia
Oh samba samba légendaire
Voit le sang de cette terre
Vers la ville de lumières
Demain tu nous conduiras
Que l'amour brûle dans nos veines
Que la danse nous déchaîne
Pour la féerie brésilienne
Rendez-vous à Brazilia

The Proper Ornaments


The Proper Ornaments
Composer(s): Chris Dedrick
Performer(s): The Free Design



Ba Ba Ba...
Ornaments of Life, ornaments of life
There’s your brand new car, sir, here’s your hat and gloves
There’s your pretty wife, sir, whom you almost love

There’s your color TV set and your impressive pad
There’s your little baby girl you’re almost glad you had
Such a pretty dress, miss, such a graceful walk
Bubbling femininity, authoritative talk
There’s your man he’s prominent; treats you like a queen
All your little secrets kept, your reputations clean
The proper ornaments of life

Gotta have status
have a paid vacation
have an intellectual education
ornaments of life
proper ornaments of life

Fur coats, jewels and laces, bright red lipstick, big cars, money, tuxes and top
hats
hide behind the mask of clothes and makeup: ornaments
There’s your brand new car, sir, here’s your hat and gloves
There’s your pretty wife, sir, whom you almost love
There’s your color TV set and your impressive pad
There’s your little baby girl you’re almost glad you had

What’s behind that countenance
What’s behind the lace
What is in your mind and heart
Thats hidden by your face
Behind the ornaments in your life?

Ciribiribin (They're So in Love) ((Dutch, French, & Italian Versions: Chiribiribin (Willy & Willeke Alberti); Ciribiribin (Elyane Célis); Ciribiribin (Grace Moore)) Composer(s): Alberto Pestalozza - Harry James - Jack Lawrence Performer(s): Harry James and multiple other artists



When the moon hangs low in Napoli, there's a handsome gondolier
Every night he sings so happily, so his lady love can hear
In a manner oh gravissimo, he repeats his serenade
And his heart beats so fortissimo, when she raises her Venetian shade
Ciribiribin, chiribiribin, ciribiribin

Ciribiribin, he waits for her each night beneath her balcony
Ciribiribin, he begs to hold her tight, but no, she won't agree
Ciribiribin, she throws a rose and blows a kiss from up above
Ciribiribin, ciribiribin, ciribiribin, they're so in love

Ciribiribin, ciribiribin, ciribiribin, they're so in love

J'ai un rendez-vous pour ce soir
Vers les dix heures un quart
Avec une fille folle de moi
Je ne vous dis que ça
J'avoue, oui j'ai un succès fou
Les filles se battent pour avoir rendez-vous
Il est maint'nant onze heures un quart
Que veut dire ce retard?
J'attends encore un moment
Car je suis bon de temps en temps
J'avoue, oui j'ai un succès fou
Les filles se battent pour avoir rendez-vous
Il est maint'nant minuit un quart
Vraiment là tu es en retard
J'attends encor' un moment
Car je suis bon de temps en temps
J'avoue, oui j'ai un succès fou
Les filles se battent pour avoir rendez-vous
Waou, il est deux heures du matin
Vraiment ça c'est un lapin
Mais j'attends un moment
Car je suis bon de temps en temps
J'avoue, oui j'ai un succès pas très fou
Non, non, non
Il est très dur d'avoir rendez-vous
Mon succès n'est pas fou du tout
Mon succès n'est, n'est, n'est pas, pas fou du tout

The Promise


The Promise
Composer(s): Costandinos - Vangelis
Performer(s): Demis Roussos



The promise that I never asked for
yet somehow I long for was my only possession
a shelter and changing through fire and rain

a reason to go on and live for
never took the game for and afraid of the season
the lost dream that found me

and I loved again
an hour, do I go from here

I love you forever
you meant it when you said it
I love you, I still do
what will I do without you?

it can't be, just simply can't be
you and I can't take it we've been (through) of moments
tomorrow will guide us
tomorrow will show

I love you forever
you meant it I know
an hour, do I go from here

I love you, I still do
what will I do without you?
it can't be, just simply can't be
you and I can't take it we've been (through) of moments
tomorrow will guide us
tomorrow will show

I love you forever
you meant it I know

the promise, the promise

Circus Day In Dixie


Circus Day In Dixie Composer(s): Albert Gumble - Jack Yellen Performer(s): American Quartet and multiple other artists



Everybody!

Get lively!

Circus day in Dixie
Circus day in Dixie
Always is a holiday
You'd better hurry, honey, the parade is coming
Led by that leader man, don't he look mighty grand
See the funny lion, seems as if he's tryin'
To keep time with that ragtime band
Here come the clowns who wear the funniest clothes
There's one who looks just like my old Uncle Mose
See the cunning little monkey riding on a donkey
At the Circus day in Dixieland

Now, the other way!

Enjoy yourself!

Let me see you smile!

Swing your head back!

Circus day in Dixie
Circus day in Dixie
All we need's a holiday
You'd better hurry, honey, the parade is coming
Led by that leader man, don't he look mighty grand
See the funny lion, seems as if he's tryin'
To keep time with that ragtime band
Here come the clowns who wear the funniest clothes
There's one who looks just like my old Uncle Mose
See the cunning little monkey riding on a donkey
At the Circus down in Dixieland

How's that?

Si Seulement


Si Seulement
((Adapted from: Dirty, Dirty Feeling (Elvis Presley) - 1960))
Composer(s): Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller - Eddy Mitchell - Georges Vesta
Performer(s): Les Chaussettes Noires - 1961



Si seulement tu voyais ma peine
Tu reviendrais entre mes bras
Au fond, je sais bien que tu m'aimes
Et que tu n'aimeras que moi
Nous sommes deux gosses, oui, mais quand même
Rappelle-toi depuis toujours
Tu m'as dit et redit «Je t'aime»
Dans notre square du vieux faubourg
Si seulement tu voulais comprendre
Que mon amour n'a pas changé
On s'était promis de s'attendre
Dis-moi ce qui peut te troubler

Nous sommes deux gosses, c'est le problème
Comprends enfin que le bonheur
N'est pas là-bas où l'on t'entraîne
Il te faut écouter ton cœur
Quand, demain, tu verras ma peine
Tu reviendras entre mes bras
Au fond, tu sais bien que tu m'aimes
Et que tu n'aimeras que moi

Circus


Circus
Composer(s): Rod Argent
Performer(s): Rod Argent



In the circus, each must play a part
The clown the jester, mirror the meaning of their art
In the circus you can be fool or may be king
The sound of laughter is in the wedding of the ring

But all are found
Seeking the love of the crowd
And all are reaching out
In the circus, in the circus, in the circus

Circo Beat


Circo Beat
Composer(s): Fito Páez
Performer(s): Fito Páez



Buenas noches
ladies and gentlemen
bon soir
sean bienvenidos a la primera función
del Circo Beat
el circo mas sexy
mas alto
mas tonto del mundo
desde ahora y para siempre
cualquier semejanza con hechos reales
correrán por vuestra propia imaginación
arrivederci é buona fortuna
queste sono le ultime parole
d'il terzo angelo di Cristo
dopo parlare in l'strada
con il uomo che non sapeva piú di niente!!!

Psicodélica star de la mística de los pobres
de misterio, de amor, de dinero y soledad...
yo no vine hasta acá a ayudarte buscando cobre
mi pasado es real y el futuro es libertad

Circo beat, circo beat
todo el mundo juega aquí en el circo beat
circo beat, circo beat
rayos y culebras en al circo beat

Casi todos tendrán un instante su touch de gloria
llegaremos en jeep, llegaremos a la ciudad...
no me gusta cantar
yo me muero con Gena Rowlands
y los monos están devastando este lugar

Un circo vi, un circo vi
cuando yo era pibe algún circo vi
un circo vi, un circo vi
no pasaba nada pero un circo vi circo beat

Remove This Doubt


Remove This Doubt
Composer(s): Brian Holland;
Lamont Dozier; Edward Holland, Jr.
Performer(s): The Supremes; Elvis Costello



It's hurting me, it's hurting me
This doubt is hurting me

So remove this doubt
From my heart, little boy
And let me live my life
Knowing you care

Remove this doubt
From my mind, little boy
And let me breathe again
Feeling my love you share

Each time we meet
You make me feel so incomplete
There's no joy in the air
I just don't think you care

Close the door of doubt forever more
And may it never more make me unsure
Turn the key and lock away this doubt in me
Keep it in the dark, not in my heart
Be more tender
Completely surrender your love to me
Be sweet and not discreet

Remove this doubt
From my mind, little boy
And let me breathe again
Feeling my love you share

Each time we meet
You make me feel so incomplete
There's no joy in the air
I just don't think you care

Remove this doubt in our hearts
Remove this doubt from my heart

The Prisoner's Song


The Prisoner's Song
(Traditional)
First release by: Vernon Dalhart - 1924
Covered by multiple other artists



Oh, I wish I had someone to love me
Someone to call me their own
Oh, I wish I had someone to live with
'Cause I'm tired of livin' alone

Oh, please meet me tonight in the moonlight
Please meet me tonight all alone
For I have a sad story to tell you
It's a story that's never been told

I'll be carried to the new jail tomorrow
Leavin' my poor darlin' alone
With the cold prison bars all around me
And my head on a pillow of stone

Now I have a grand ship on the ocean
All mounted with silver and gold
And before my poor darlin' would suffer
Oh, that ship would be anchored and sold

Now if I had wings like an angel
Over these prison walls I would fly
And I'd fly to the arms of my poor darlin'
And there I'd be willin' to die

Circles Composer(s): Harry Chapin First release by: The New Seekers - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists



All my life's a circle Sunrise and sundown The moon rose through the nighttime Till the day break comes around All my life's a circle But I can't tell you why The seasons spinning round again The years keep rolling by It seems like I've been here before I can't remember when But I've got this funny feeling That I'll be back once again There's no straight lines make up my life And all my roads have bends There's no clear-cut beginnings And so far no dead-ends All my life's a circle Sunrise and sundown The moon rose through the nighttime Till the day break comes around All my life's a circle But I can't tell you why The seasons spinning round again The years keep rolling by I've found you a thousand times I guess you've done the same But then we lose each other It's just like a children's game And as I see you here again The thought runs through my mind Our love is like a circle Let's go round one more time All my life's a circle Sunrise and sundown The moon rose through the nighttime Till the day break comes around All my life's a circle And I can't tell you why The seasons spinning round again The years keep rolling by All my life's a circle Sunrise and sundown The moon rose through the nighttime Till the day break comes around All my life's a circle But I can't tell you why The seasons spinning round again The years keep rolling by All my life's a circle Sunrise and sundown The moon rose through the nighttime Till the day break comes around All my life's a circle But I can't tell you why The seasons spinning round again The years keep rolling by All my life's a circle Sunrise and sundown The moon rose through the nighttime Till the day break comes around All my life's a circle But I can't tell you why The seasons spinning round again The years keep rolling by

Remote Romance


Remote Romance
Composer(s): Andrew Latimer; Kit Watkins
Performer(s): Camel



It's automatic
There's too much static
Ooh your signal's fading
Down goes my rating
Ooh your signal's fading

Remote - remote
Romance - romance

Rush-button passion
I won't repeat it
I won't repeat it
I won't repeat (ha ha ha)

Wait a minute
Wait a minute but...

It's just a sequence
It makes no real sense
It's just a sequence
It makes no real sense

It's automatic
There's too much statix
Can't get no feed-back
I'm on the wrong track

Wait a minute
It don't make a lot of sense
Just a sequence
It makes no real sense

The Prisoner


The Prisoner
Composer(s): Sayer Courtney - Roger Daltrey - Todd
Performer(s): Roger Daltrey



Days go - so slow
Life just slipping away
Day after day
The wall's too close to me now
Oh I can't take too much more
All the lying
Is it just an illusion
I've been feeling the strain
And it's more than just pain
I can't help myself
'Cause I've lost myself

If I could see you through the wire
And just forget about tomorrow
No one listens to what I am saying
I'm just a sad man another sad man
They say I'm no bad man
But I'm no bad man

Wasted - wasted
All my life's been wasted
Sitting here in this room
I can get no release
It's all war and no peace

If I could see you through the wire
And just forget about tomorrow
Someone listen to what I am saying
I'm just a sad man another sad man

If I could see you through the wire
And just forget about tomorrow
Someone listen to what I am saying
I'm just a sad man another sad man
Don't say I'm a bad man
'Cause I'm no bad man

They say it's wrong to set me free
I'll do no harm
'Cause I'm no bad man

Circles (Captain & Tennille)


Circles
Composer(s): Toni Tennille
Performer(s): Captain & Tennille



He drew a circle that shut me out
he was afraid of what life was all about
Whenever I saw him he'd be there inside him
locking his heart in a place to hide it
But oh love and I knew just where to begin
Yes love and I started a circle within
oh love and I
We drew a circle, a beautiful circle
a wonderful circle that took him in
He was a quiet and lonely one
he didn't know that his life had just begun
I knew that I'd be the one to unwind him
get him to put all his fears behind him
And oh love and I, knew just where to begin
Yes, love and I started a circle within
oh love and I
We drew a circle, a beautiful circle
a wonderful circle that took him in
lost in a circle, a beautiful circle, a wonderful circle of love
la la la la
lost in a circle, a beautiful circle, a wonderful circle of love
Oh love and I, knew just where to begin
yes love and I, started a circle within
oh love and I
We drew a circle, a beautiful circle
a wonderful circle that took him in

Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Ils m'ont laissé sortir hier soir
Tu sais j'avais hâte de te revoir
Qu'est-ce que t'es belle
T'es toujours la même

Tu sais jamais je n'aurais
Pur croire
Qu'au monde quelqu'un
Garde l'espoir
Qu'est-ce que t'es belle
Une étoile dans le ciel

J'ai purgé ma peine
A en trancher mes veines
J'veux plus que tu me craignes
J'te ferai plus de peine

Qu'est-ce que t'es belle
Qu'est-ce que je t'aime
Qu'est-ce que t'es belle
A en crever le ciel

J'aimerais tant ne plus
Te décevoir
Faire comme les autres quand
Tombe le soir
Qu'est-ce que t'es belle
A en crever le ciel

J'vivrai plus sur le fil du rasoir
J'essaierai de changer de trottoir
Qu'est-ce que t'es belle
Mon dieu comme je t'aime

Ce ne sera plus pareil
Fini la dévaine
Les nuits sans sommeil
Je n'veux plus que tu saignes

Qu'est-ce que t'es belle
Qu'est-ce que je t'aime
Qu'est-ce que t'es belle
Mon étoile dans le ciel

J'aimrerais tant
Que tu puisses me croire
Tu sais j'ai de nouveau l'espoir
Qu'est-ce que t'es belle
T'es toujours la même

J'ai purgé ma peine
A en trancher mes veines
J'veux que tu me reprennes
Je te ferai plus de peine
Ce ne sera plus pareil
Fini la déveine
Les nuits sans sommeil
Je n'veux plus que tu saignes

Qu'est-ce que t'es belle
Qu'est-ce que je t'aime
Qu'est-ce que t'es belle
A en crever le ciel

Qu'est-ce que t'es belle
Qu'est-ce que t'es belle

Performer(s): De Kreuners - 1984



Ik zal eens iets vertellen
Iets vertellen over mijn stad
Ik wil wel iets vertellen, mensen
en dat gaat over mijn stad

Ja daar bij dat water
Aan de oever van de Nete
Ja daar kan je ons vinden
in het kruiske gaan wij swingen

Want ik ben zot op dat vuil water
Oh, Lier daar ben ik thuis

Maar alle knappe grieten
Zijn om twaalf uur thuis
Maar ik blijf zoeken en proberen
Oh, griet, draag jij mijn kruis

Oh, ik ben zot op dat vuil water
Oh, Lier daar ben ik thuis
