Not A Second Time


Not A Second Time
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
Performer(s): The Beatles;
and various other artists



You know you made me cry
I see no use in wondering why
I cry for you

And now you've changed your mind
I see no reason to change mine
I cry it's through, oh

You're giving me the same old line
I'm wondering why
You hurt me then
You're back again
No, no, no, not a second time
not a second time

You know you made me cry
I see no use in wondering why
I cry for you

And now you've changed your mind
I see no reason to change mine
I cry it's through, oh

You're giving me the same old line
I'm wondering why
You hurt me then
You're back again
No, no, no, not a second time
not a second time
Not the second time
no, no, no, no, no
no, no no

Not A Care In The World


Not A Care In The World
Composer(s): Vernon Duke; John Latouche
Performer(s): Peggy Lee;
and various other artists



Though hope is low
I’m aglow when you smile at me
Life is simple as A-B-C
Not a thought in my head
Not a care in the world
Though skies are grey
I’m as gay as a Disney cow
Not a wrinkle upon my brow
Not a cent in the red
Not a care in the world
I view the scene like that queen of old Russia
As Kate the Great used to state long ago
"Nichevo!"
So if I move in a groove with a giddy trot
I’m a trottin’ because I’ve got
Not a bean in my pot
Not a care in the world

Though I can’t jive
I revive when I see your face
Not a limp in my merry pace
Not a crimp in my style
Not a care in the world
Though I’m a wreck
I can peck if you take a chance
Not a shine on my blue serge pants
Not a crack in my smile
Not a care in the world
Why should I fret when I bet on a sure thing?
Like Nick the Greek used to say every day
"Yip-i-ay!"
So if I’m struttin’ with nuttin’ ahead in store
There’s a reason I said before
I’ll repeat it once more
Not a care in the world

Nostalgie


Nostalgie
Composer(s): Jesse Barish
Performer(s): Dalida



Quand je repense à nous
J'ai le cœur qui flambe un peu
Comme au temps de nous deux
Tu étais fou
Comme ceux qui jouent leur cœur et leur amour
Et qui gagne toujours

Nostalgie
Comme une image de Visconti
Quand Venise a le cœur gris
Nostalgie
Il pleut sur mes rêves et aussi
Sur notre photographie

Et tes baisers de nacre
Etaient pour moi comme des sacres de printemps
Et de bonheur
Mais dans tes yeux de slave
Je me suis vue comme une esclave
Et je crois bien que j'ai eu peur

Nostalgie
Comme un violon de Vivaldi
Quand la musique a le cœur gris
Nostalgie
Il pleut sur mes rêves et aussi
Sur notre photographie

Tu avais cette insolence
Qui me faisait souvent violence
Entre le rire et le mépris
Tu avais l'air d'un roi
Mais ton royaume c'était moi
Je ne le comprends qu'aujourd'hui

Nostalgie
Aux yeux de Modigliani
Quand la palette a le cœur gris
Nostalgie
Il pleut sur mes rêves et aussi
Sur notre photographie
Et je sais aujourd'hui
Que sa vie
On peut la perdre aussi

Nostalgias Tucumanas


Nostalgias Tucumanas
Composer(s): Atahualpa Yupanqui
Performer(s): Paco de Lucia & E. Montoya



Noches de Tucumán
luna la de Tafí
Quién pudiera volverse
para los cerros, ¡ ay, ay de mí!
Zambas para bailar
arpa, bombo y violín
recuerdos y esperanzas
en los pañuelos, ¡ ay, ay de mí!

¡ Suena guitarra
fiel compañera !
Repiqueteando zambas
la vida entera, ¡ ay, ay de mí!

Cerros color azul
perfumados de azahar
naranjales en mayo
y en primavera los amancay

Noches de Tucumán
luna la de Tafí
Quién pudiera volverse
para los cerros ¡ ay, ay de mí!

¡ Suena guitarra

Nosso Bolero


Nosso Bolero
Performer(s): Carlinhos Vergueiro & Chico Buarque



Jogamos nosso bolero
Na ronda dos oceanos
A vida vem como em ondas
Dizia nosso poeta
Nossa canção incompleta
Pode esperar vinte anos
O amor faz ondas redondas
Até quebrar como eu quero

Como o meu jeito de amar se ajeitava com você
Louco, eu não imaginava uma noite sem você
Como é sincero poder
Querer os pulsos cortar
Como é bolero chegar
E perder a coragem
Foi tão bonito você me emprestar a vida assim
Ver que eu não tinha saída e seguir por onde eu vim
Como eu adoro você
Quando você me sorri
Quando sabemos que aqui
Termina nossa viagem

Nosferatu


Nosferatu
Composer(s): Hugh Cornwell; Robert Williams
Performer(s): Hugh Cornwell



Peelers whistle in the distance
Stand no chance of catching on
Horses gallop never faster
Must get back before the dawn
Slips away into the distance
Cold grip on the carriage arm
Lifeless eyes with no reflection
We may die but he'll go on Nosferatu!

Nos Avocats


Nos Avocats
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Nous avons vécu ensemble
Aveuglés d'amour
Mais le temps ne se ressemble
Pas jour après jour
Aujourd'hui la tendre guerre
A cédé le pas
Aux astuces et honoraires

Souviens-toi que notre route
Ne fut pas aisée
Nos parents ayant des doutes
Étaient opposés
À ce mariage précoce
Dont l'issue est là
À présent sont à la noce
Que nos avocats

Tu fournis de fausses preuves
Pourquoi s'en priver
La pratique n'est pas neuve
J'en ai au dossier
Dans cette joute hypocrite
Truffée de coup bas
Nous avons l'accord tacite
De nos avocats

Et s'il faut que l'on fignole
Dans l'aberration
On dira que tu es folle
Que j'ai des liaisons
Sans peur on peut s'en remettre
Ils sont là pour ça
À ceux qu'on appelle maître
À nos avocats

S'il y a faux témoignages
D'amis, de voisins
Le juriste ne s'engage
Pas sur ce terrain
Ce genre de stratégie
Est contraire en soi
À la déontologie
De nos avocats

On bloque le compte en banque
Et pour l'occasion
Aucun de nous n'est en manque
D'imagination
La procédure sévère
Peut durer des mois
Dans l'intérêt pécuniaire
De nos avocats

Quand le verdict on le gobe
Perdu ou gagné
L'homme de loi plie sa robe
Range ses dossiers
Il a enfin clos l'affaire
Faut passer par là
C'est l'heure des honoraires
De nos avocats

Mais bonne ou mauvaise cause
Malgré quelques excès
Ils seront les virtuoses
De notre procès
Avec plus ou moins de chance
La loi c'est la loi
Quelles qu'en soit les conséquences
Et quoi qu'on en dise ou pense
Il nous faut faire confiance
À nos avocats

Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)


Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)
Composer(s): Paul McCartney; John Lennon
Performer(s): The Beatles;
and various other artists



I once had a girl
Or should I say
She once had me
She showed me her room
Isn’t it good?
Norwegian wood
She asked my to stay and told me sit anywhere
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn’t a chair
I sat on a rug
Biding my time
Drinking her wine
We talked until two
And then she said
‘It’s time for bed’
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh
I told her I didn’t, and crawled off to sleep in the bath
And when I awoke
I was alone
This bird has flown
So I lit a fire
Isn’t it good?
Norwegian wood

Norwegian Sea Song


Norwegian Sea Song
(Traditional)



Den stolte Skute seiler
I Stormen sprang hun lekk
Kapteinen höit paa Hytten staar:
Op alle Mand paa Dekk!
Vaar Skute maa gaa under
Den kan ei naa til Land
Gjör Jollen klar og gaa i den
Redde sig hvem som kan
|: Farvel, hver Ven, Farvel, :|
Jeg bliver ombord
Jeg tager min Törn
Redd i Eders Liv kun
For Kone og Börn
Ja redd Eders Liv kun
Thi jeg beder til Himmelens Gud
Thi jeg fölger mit stolte Skib
Ned paa Havets Bund

North To Alaska


North To Alaska
Composer(s): Michael Phillips
Performer(s): Johnny Horton;
and various other artists



North to Alaska!
Go north, the rush is on
North to Alaska!
Go north, the rush is on

Big Sam left Seattle in the year of ninety-two
With George Pratt, his partner, and brother Billy too
They crossed the Yukon river and found the bonanza gold
Below that old white mountain
Just a little southeast of Nome

Sam crossed the Majestic mountains to the valleys far below
He talked to his team of huskies
As he mushed them thru the snow
With the northern lights a runnin' wild
In the land of the midnight sun
Yes Sam McCord was a mighty man
In the year of nineteen-one

Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're findin'
North to Alaska go north the rush is on

(Way up north, north to Alaska)
(Way up north, north to Alaska)

North to Alaska!
Go north, the rush is on
North to Alaska!
Go north, the rush is on

George turned to Sam with his gold in his hand
Said "Sam you're a-lookin' at a lonely lonely man
I'd trade all the gold that's buried in this land
For one small band of gold to place on sweet little Jenny's hand"

'Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time
Remember, Sam, a true love is so hard to find
I'd build for my Jenny a honeymoon home
Below that old white mountain
Just a little southeast of Nome

Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're findin'
North to Alaska go north the rush is on

North to Alaska go north the rush is on

(Way up north, north to Alaska)
(Way up north, north to Alaska)

Fade

(Way up north, north to Alaska)
(Way up north, north to Alaska)

North And South Of The River


North And South Of The River
Composer(s): Bono & The Edge; Christy Moore
Performer(s): Christy Moore; U2



I want to reach out over the lough
And feel your hand across the water
Walk with you along an unapproved road
Not looking over my shoulder
I want to see
I want to hear
To understand your fears
But we're north and south of the river

I've been doing it wrong
all of my life
This holy town has turned me over
A young man running from what he didn't understand
As the wind from the lough just blew colder and colder

There was a badness that had its way
But love was not lost
it just got mislaid
North and south of the river

Can we stop playing these old tattoos?
Darling I don't have the answer
I want to meet you where you are
I don't need you to surrender
There is no feeling so alone
as when the one you're hurting is your own
North and south of the river

Some high ground is not worth taking
Some connections are not worth making
There's an old church bell no longer ringing
And some old songs not worth singing

North and south of the river
North and south of the river

Norman knows my heart belongs to him and him and only him, oh

But I told Joey he would have to make ‘rangements with Norman

Norman is my only love, Norman’s all I’m thinking of
Norman gives me all his lovin’, kissin’, huggin’, lovey-dovin’

Norman, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Norman, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm

Normal 1


Normal 1
Performer(s): Fito Paez



Un mundo de hadas frente al ataúd
un rosario roto frente a la mesa de luz
la llave del piano, la corbata siempre azul
sólo Radicura para el bien de la salud
la licorería dentro del placard
para ahogar las penas que ya nunca vendrán
y te miré cuando llegabas al normal...

1 nunca sabe
uno buscará, lleno de esperanzas
los caminos del azar
uno Normal 1 siempre volverá
si uno se mirase desde afuera sin piedad...
sin llorar, sin bondad
sin jamás dejarse engañar
sin hablar, sin pensar
sin tocar las flores del mal...

algo llegó a su fin
y no hay caso
debería romper la ilusión
no volveré a salir de tu mano
todo pasó por un Marshall...

Cuando el uniforme generaba frenesí...
cuando la bandera idolatrada
cuando la Fernández se peinaba el peluquín...
cuando no creíamos en nada...
cuando vos cruzabas ésas piernas para mi...
cuando simplemente me mojaba...

Ringo ya afinaba el tambor de Let it be
mientras todo esto se esfumaba...

Noreen Bawn


Noreen Bawn
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Daniel O'Donnell;
and various other artists



There's a spot in old Tirconnell
With a wee house in the glen
Where dwelt an Irish colleen
Who'd woo the hearts of men

She was winsome, fair and hearty
Shined graceful as a fawn
It was love that widow's daughter
Happy laughing Noreen Bawn

One day there came a letter
With a passage paid to go
To lands where the Missouri
And the Mississippi flow

So she bade farewell to Erin
And next morning at the dawn
Said a brokenhearted mother
Bid farewell to Noreen Bawn

Many years that mother waited
Till a morning at the door
Sat a gorgeous looking lady
All grand the clothes she wore

Said, Mother don't you worry
Said, I've only got a cold
But the purple spots upon her cheek
The tragic story told

There's a graveyard in Tirconnell
Where the blossoms sadly sway
Her brokenhearted mother
Living oer a lonely grave

Saying, Noreen you were calling
Many years since you have gone
Was the curse of emigration
Laid you low my Noreen Bawn

Nord Sud


Nord Sud
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers



En pleine jungle je chantais l'amour et la crasse
Pour quelques joints, du soleil, du rhum et des passes
J'avais la musique sous les ongles
Et la langue bien pendue
Je laissais s'exciter le monde
Au fond de ma vallée perdue
Ecoutez bien ce que je vous dis
Je suis pas du Nord je suis d'ici
C'est pas vraiment le paradis
Je sais ce que je veux et ce que je dis
Love me or leave me
Le marchand d'armes leur a dit
Chante bien ce mec
Je vous file des guns à crédit
Et je me tire avec
Pas le temps de finir ma chanson
Que ce vieux rats me braque
Je reste seul sur l'écran
Où sifflent des matraques
Love me or leave me
Alors ecoute-moi tout s'arrange toujours
Même...mal
Les lumières élimées de Metropolis
Les cow boys ratés sont dans la police
Ce vieux monde va crever
Ce vieux monde craque
Etat d'urgence d'exception
Arrêtez le massacre
Tu m'as cassé les doigts dis
Laisse moi mourir ou partir dis
Je reviens sur ce que je dis (ah non)
Love me or leave me
J'ai tué le crocodile qui suivait mes traces
Je l'ai plumé désossé et mangé sur place
Liberté t'as pas de prix
Mais pour l'angoisse c'est gratuit
Je reviens pas sur ce que je dis
Love me or leave me

Noordzee


Noordzee
English Title: Golden Vanity
Composer(s): Noel Paul Stookey;
Mary Travers; Peter Yarrow; Lennaert Nijgh
Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot



Daar zeilde op de Noordzee, de Noordzee wijd en koud
Een schip zo zwaar beladen met 's werelds ijdel goud
Daar kwam de Spanjaard dreigen te roven onze goud
Toen we voeren op de Noordzee, de Noordzee, de Noordzee
Al op de Noordzee wijd en koud

't Was onze jongste makker, een jongen sterk en koen
Die sprak al tot de schipper: "Wat zult gij aan mij doen
Wanneer ik wil gaan zwemmen en ginds het Spaans galjoen doen zinken
In de Noordzee, de Noordzee, de Noordzee, al in de Noordzee zinken doen"

"Ik zal u geven zilver, een wapen en blazoen
Mijn eigen jonge dochter zal ik u huwen doen
Wanneer gij wilt gaan zwemmen en ginds het Spaans galjoen doen zinken
In de Noordzee, de Noordzee, de Noordzee, al in de Noordzee zinken doen"

De jongen bad de hemel, sprong daarna overboord
En heeft in 's vijands scheepswand drie gaten toen geboord
En van de trotse Spanjaard is nimmer meer gehoord op heel de wijde Noordzee
De Noordzee, de Noordzee, op heel de Noordzee meer gehoord

De jongen zwom weer terug en de mannen juichten luid
Maar onze schipper gaf hem zijn dochter niet als bruid
Al smeekte ook de jongen: "Haal mij het water uit"
De schipper gaf de Noordzee, de Noordzee, de Noordzee
Gaf hem de Noordzee als zijn bruid

De mannen redden hem toen, maar op het dek stierf hij
Na het een, twee, drie, in Godsnaam, dreef weg met het getij
Een koene jonge zeeheld, veel jonger nog dan wij
En zonk toen in de Noordzee, de Noordzee, de Noordzee
En in de Noordzee weg zonk hij

None Of Us Are Free


None Of Us Are Free
Composer(s): Barry Mann; Brenda Russell; Cynthia Weil
Performer(s): Solomon Burke;
and various other artists



Well you better listen my sisters and brothers
'cause if you do you can hear
there are voices still calling across the years
And they're all crying across the ocean
and they're crying across the land
and they will till we all come to understand

None of us are free
None of us are free
None of us are free, one of us are chained
None of us are free

And there are people still in darkness
and they just can't see the light
If you don't say it's wrong then that says it right
We got try to feel for each other, let our brothers know that we care
Got to get the message, send it out loud and clear

(Chorus)

It's a simple truth we all need, just to hear and to see
None of us are free, one of us is chained
None of us are free
now I swear your salvation isn't too hard too find
None of us can find it on our own
We've got to join together in spririt, heart and mind
So that every soul who's suffering will know they're not alone

(Chorus)

If you just look around you
you're gonna see what I say
Cause the world is getting smaller each passing day
Now it's time to start making changes
and it's time for us all to realize
that the truth is shining real bright right before our eyes

(Chorus and Fade)

None But The Lonely Heart


None But The Lonely Heart
Composer(s): Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky
Performer(s): various artists



None but the lonely heart
Can know my sadness
Alone and parted
Far from joy and gladness
Heaven's boundless arch I see
Spread about above me
O what a distance dear to one
Who loves me
None but the lonely heart
Can know my sadness
Alone and parted
Far from joy and gladness
Alone and parted far
From joy and gladness
My senses fail
A burning fire
Devours me
None but the lonely heart
Can know my sadness

Non, La Vie N'Est Pas Triste


Non, La Vie N'Est Pas Triste
Composer(s): Pierre Lacotte; Claude Leveille; Michel Rivgauche
Performer(s): Edith Piaf



Non, la vie n'est pas triste
Et le bonheur existe
Il suffirait de tendre la main
Tu trouverais combien de copains
Il suffirait d'un tout petit rien
Et tu verrais, tout irait très bien

Mais voilà
Tu te plais comme ça
Tu te plais, c'est ça
A te déchirer
Et tu veux te laisser guider
Tu peux tout changer
Toi, le tourmenté

Vois, dans les yeux des filles
Vois, comme le soleil brille
Ecoute-moi et puis tu verras
Ecoute-moi et tout changera
Regarde bien, tu seras surpris
Car jusqu'alors tu n'as rien compris

Tant d'amour
Et tant de beaux jours
Sont tout près de toi
Mais tu restes sourd
Et tes yeux
Ne voient pas le bleu
Ne voient pas le ciel
Ni les amoureux
Mais, essaie donc quand même
Aime, si tu veux qu'on t'aime
