Omdat Ik Van Je Hou


Omdat Ik Van Je Hou
Italian Title: L'Amore E Un Attimo
Composer(s): M. Ramieri
Performer(s): Louis Neefs



Dag, m'n lieve lieve meisje
't Is alweer lang geleden
Maar hoe is het nou

Ja echt, echt dat wil ik weten
Ik kan je niet vergeten
Hoe is het nou

Nee, dat is niet wat ik vroeg
Je stem alleen is niet genoeg
Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou
Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou

Waarom zeg jij nu niets
Denk niet dat het nu zomaar over is
Daarom bel ik je op
Alleen omdat ik jou zo vreselijk mis

Als alles anders was, m'n lieve meisje
Dan zou ik nu bij jou kunnen zijn
Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou
Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou

Dat, m'n lieve lieve meisje
En laat de rest maar zitten
Is wat ik zeggen wou

Wat jij en ik ook mogen vinden
We komen toch nooit verder
Dan hoe is het nou

Nee, dat is niet wat ik vroeg
Je stem alleen is niet genoeg
Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou
Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou
Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou
Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou
Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou
Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou
Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou
Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou
Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou
Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou

Maybe I Know


Maybe I Know
Composer(s): Jeff Barry; Ellie Greenwich
Performer(s): Lesley Gore; Ellie Greenwich



Maybe I know that he's been a cheatin'
Maybe I know that he's been untrue
But what can I do

I hear them whispering when I walk by
He's gonna break her heart and make her cry
I know it's me they're talking about
I bet they all think I'll never find out

Ohhh but Maybe I know that he's been a cheatin'
Maybe I know that he's been untrue but what can I do

My friends are telling me that he's no good
He isn't treating me the way he should
He really loves me that's all I can say
Before my tears fall I just walk away

Ohh but Maybe I know that he's been a cheatin'
Maybe I know that he's been untrue
But what can I do
Ohhhh

Deep down inside he loves me
Though he may run around
Deep down inside he loves me
Some day he'll settle down

Ohhh Maybe I know that he's been a cheatin'
Maybe I know that he's been untrue
But what can I do

He really loves me that's all I can say
Before my tears fall I just walk away

Ohh but Maybe I know that he's been a cheatin'
Maybe I know that he's been untrue
But what can I do

Ohh but Maybe I know that he's been a cheatin'
Maybe I know that he's been untrue
But what can I do

Maybe He'll Know


Maybe He'll Know
Composer(s): Cyndi Lauper; John Turi
Performer(s): Cyndi Lauper; Blue Angel



oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Maybe he'll know
I'm not so sure
maybe he'll know, well
maybe he'll be my cure

oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Maybe he'll know, well
I'm not so sure
maybe he'll know why
maaybe he'll be, oh oh

Something calls to me
I know
I hear an echo start to pound
like a drum
chanting a song, anchor me
but don't take too long, no no
I got this anxious feeling
I got this ache engraved
in me like stone
don't take too long
say you`ll never leave me
say you'll never go
no no no no

oh oh, oh oh...

(repeat)

Om Tarar Vore Guld


Om Tarar Vore Guld
English Title: If Tears Were Gold
Composer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



Fåglarna sjunger, blommor slår ut
Allt är sig likt som det varit förut
Men du är ej här, fast jag minns dig ännu
Kan inte glömma, jag var ju din fru

Vad man kan sakna någon ändå!
Stunder av lycka tänker jag på
Hur kan en saga så vacker som vår
Plötsligt ta slut efter så många år?

Jag skulle äga miljoner om tårar vore guld
Jag kan aldrig glömma dig
Ett litet gräl blev vårt avsked, det var nog min skuld
Jag blir aldrig kär igen
Jag skulle äga miljoner om tårar vore guld
Nu är jag bara en vän

Finns det nån mening med allt som var?
Frågan jag ställer får inget svar
Varför var ödet så hårt mot oss två?
Allt blev förändrat när jag såg dig gå

Jag skulle äga miljoner om tårar vore guld
Jag kan aldrig glömma dig
Ett litet gräl blev vårt avsked, det var nog min skuld
Jag blir aldrig kär igen
Jag skulle äga miljoner om tårar vore guld
Nu är jag bara en vän

Om Jag Skriver En Sang


Om Jag Skriver En Sang
Composer(s): Eva Dahlgren
Performer(s): Eva Dahlgren



Vad ska jag skriva nu
När alla ord tagit slut
Å vad ska vi prata om
När allt är utnött och fult

Det känns som om alla
Väntar sig
Att jag ska hitta på nya ord
Som inte finns på vår jord

Men om jag skriver en sång
Full av kärlek och hat
En sång som säger att det här är jag
En sång utan massor av ord
En sång som man kan sjunga
Gång på gång
Och tåren på min kind
Torkar snabbt i dess vind
Om natten är lång
Så vad gör väl de'
Så länge du är med

Det känns som om alla gamla sånger
Aldrig nått sitt mål
Som om alla dessa nya människor
Aldrig upplevt en vår
Så snart de talar till mej
Känns allt så dumt och fel
Jag vill få er att se

Men om jag skriver en sång
Full av kärlek och hat
En sång som säger att det här är jag
En sång utan massor av ord
En sång som man kan sjunga
Gång på gång
Och tåren på min kind
Torkar snabbt i dess vind
Om natten är lång
Så vad gör väl de'
Så länge du är med

Maybe After He's Gone


Maybe After He's Gone
Composer(s): Chris White
Performer(s): The Zombies



She told me she loved me
With words as soft as morning rain
But the light that fell upon me
Turned to shadow when he came...

Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, want me again

I remember joy and pain
Her smile, her tears are part of me
I feel I'll never breathe again
I feel life's gone from me...

Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, want me again

All the days
And all the nights
Are time just passing by
And all the dreams I'm dreaming now
Hide the tears that I cry...

I feel so cold
I'm on my own
As the night folds in around me
Night surrounds me
I'm alone...

Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, want me again

Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, want me again

Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
After he's gone
She'll come back, love me again

Om


Om
Composer(s): Michael Pinder
Performer(s): The Moody Blues



The rain is on the roof
Hurry high butterfly
As clouds roll past my head
I know why the skies all cry
Om, Om
Heaven
Om

The Earth turns slowly round
Far away the distant sound
Is with us everyday
Can you hear what it says?
Om, Om
Heaven
Om

Maybe (The Chantels)


Maybe
Composer(s): Richard Barrett
Originally performed by: The Chantels
Covered by various other artists



Maybe if I pray every night
You'll come back to me
And maybe if I cry every day
You'll come back to stay
Oh, Maybe

Maybe if I hold your hand
You will understand
And maybe if I kiss your lips
I'll be at your command
Oh, Maybe

I prayed and prayed to the Lord
To send you back, my Love
But instead you came to me
Only in my dream

Maybe if I pray every night
You'll come back to me
And maybe if I cry every day
You'll come back to stay
Oh, Maybe
(Maybe Maybe Maybe)

Olivia


Olivia
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Olivia despertó por la mañana
como suele hacer la gente
más o menos con el sol

Era un sábado más en su ventana
era otra invitación para la suerte
era otra semejanza del amor
con que trenzaba hijas y calor
con la soledad
era la soledad
salía el sol

Olivia en su península poblada
por la lentitud del día
por el tiempo sin hacer

Sobre su condición iba parada
como una diosa de la luna fría
que las estrellas quiere conocer
y da una piedra errante de comer
con su soledad
era la soledad
y vio llover

Olivia no sabía que la noche
tiende puentes de aguacero
para llegar a su umbral

Olivia no sabía que hay un coche
y un precipicio al borde del cochero
y oyó decir que un astro guía en el mar
y salió de su isla a caminar
con su soledad
era la soledad
y oyó cantar

Maybe (Perry Como & Eddie Fisher)


Maybe
Composer(s): Allan Flynn; Frank Madden
Performer(s): Perry Como & Eddie Fisher
and various other artists



Maybe you'll think of me
When you are all alone
Maybe the one who is waiting for you
Will prove untrue, then what will you do?

Maybe you'll sit and sigh
Wishing that I were near
Then maybe you'll ask me to come back again
And maybe I'll say "Maybe"

Maybe you'll sit and sigh
Wishing that I were near
Then maybe you'll ask me to come back again
And maybe I'll say "Maybe"

Oliver's Army


Oliver's Army
Composer(s): Elvis Costello
Performer(s): Elvis Costello;
and various other artists



Don't start that talking
I could talk all night
my mind was sleep walking
While I was putting the world to rights
Call careers information
Have you got yourself an occupation
Olivers Army is here to stay
Olivers army is on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
But here today
There was a checkpoint charlie
He didn't crack a smile
But it's no laughing party
When you've been on the murder mile
All it takes is one itchy trigger
One more widow one less white nigger
Olivers Army is here to stay
Olivers army is on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
But here today
Hong Kong is up for grabs
London is full of Arabs
We could be in Palestine
Overrun by a Chinese line
With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne
But there's no danger
It's a professional career
Though it could be arranged
With just a word in Mr. Churchill's ear
If you're out of luck or out of work
We could send you to Johannesburg
Olivers Army is here to stay
Olivers army is on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
But here today

Maya Love - Maya Love
Maya Love is like the sea
Flowing in and out of me
Maya Love - Maya Love
Maya Love is like the day
First it comes, then it rolls away
Maya Love - Maya Love
Maya Love is like the wind
Blowing hard on everything
Maya Love - Maya Love
Maya Love is like the rain
Beating on your window brain
Maya Love - Maya Love
Maya Love is like the stream
Flowing through this cosmic dream

Oliver Twist


Oliver Twist
Composer(s): Rod McKuen
Performer(s): Rod McKuen



O...L...I...V...E...R...Oliver, twist, yeah

You ought to see Oliver, go go Oliver
You ought to see Oliver twist

He can't mow the grass
Falls asleep in grammar class
But he's a sight on Saturday night
You oughta see Oliver, go go Oliver
You oughta see Oliver twist

He can't drive like Jim
Every tree bumps into him
But on the floor he makes 'em roar
You oughta see Oliver, go go Oliver
You oughta see Oliver twist

He can't write a letter
'Cause he can't spell
The girls, they wanna wear his sweater
To catch the eye of that a-fabulous guy

He can't sing on pitch
But he's a panic with his twitch
He raises dickens with them chickens
You oughta see Oliver, go go Oliver
You oughta see Oliver twist

(Instrumental Break)

He can't write a letter
The cat can't spell
The girls, they wanna wear his sweater
To catch the eye of that fabulous guy

He can't sing on pitch
But he's a panic with his twitch
He raises dickens with them chickens
You oughta see Oliver, go go Oliver
You oughta see Oliver twist

Yes, yes, yes
You ought to see Oliver twist
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You ought to see Oliver twist

Maya


Maya
Composer(s): Robin Williamson
Performer(s): The Incredible String Band



The dust of the rivers does murmur and weep
Hard and sharp laughter that cuts to the bone
Ah, but ever face within your face does show
Going gladly now to give himself his own

And twelve yellow willows shall fellow the shallows
Small waves and thunder be my pillow
Upon the gleaming water two swans that swim
And every place shall be my native home

The east gate like a fortress dissolve it away
The west gate like a prison O come break it down
Island I remember living here
Wandering beneath the empty skies

In time her hair grew long and swept the ground
And seven blackbirds carried it out behind
It bore the holy imprint of her mind
As green-foot slow she moved among the seasons

The great man, the great man, historians his memory
Artists his senses, thinkers his brain
Labourers his growth
Explorers his limbs
And soldiers his death each second
And mystics his rebirth each second
Businessmen his nervous system
No-hustle men his stomach
Astrologers his balance
Lovers his loins
His skin it is all patchy
But soon will reach one glowing hue
God is his soul
Infinity his goal
The mystery his source
And civilisation he leaves behind
Opinions are his fingernails

Maya Maya
All this world is but a play
Be thou the joyful player

The wanderer no sense does make
His eyes being tied in the true love's knot
The trees perceive his soul
Do not detain him long

Dear little animal dark-eyed and small
Caring for your fur with pointed paws
This hawk of truth is swift and flies with a still cry
A small sweetmeat to the eyes of night

O dandelion be thou thine
Reflecting the sun in sexual glory
In every-changing tongues
The every-changing story

The book, man, bird, woman, serpent, sea, sun
Blessed O blessed are they of the air
Your eyes are the eyes
Of the glad land
Ye twelve that will enter the seasons

The great ship, the ship of the world
Long time sailing
Mariners, mariners, gather your skills

Jesus and Hitler and Richard the Lion Heart
Three kings and Moses and Queen Cleopatra
The Cobbler, the maiden
The mender and the maker
The sickener and the twitcher
And the glad undertaker
The shepherd of willows
The harper and the archer
All sat down in one boat together
Troubled voyage in calm weather

Olhos Nos Olhos


Olhos Nos Olhos
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque;
and various other artists



Quando você me deixou, meu bem
Me disse pra ser feliz e passar bem
Quis morrer de ciúme, quase enlouqueci
Mas depois, como era de costume, obedeci

Quando você me quiser rever
Já vai me encontrar refeita, pode crer
Olhos no olhos, quero ver o que você faz
Ao sentir que sem você passo bem demais

E que venho até remoçando
Me pego cantando
Sem mais nem porquê
E tantas águas rolaram
Quantos homens me amaram
Bem mais e melhor que você

Quando talvez precisar de mim
'Ce sabe a casa é sempre sua, venha sim
Olhos nos olhos, quero ver o que você diz
Quero ver como suporta me ver tão feliz

May You Never Be Alone


May You Never Be Alone
Composer(s): Hank Williams
Originally performed by: Hank Williams
Covered by various other artists



Like a bird that's lost in maiden flight
I'm alone and oh so blue tonight
Like a piece of driftwood on the sea
May you never be alone like me

I believed the lies you told to me
When you whispered dear, I'll worship thee
Now here I am all alone and blue
All because I love no one but you

I have left my friends, I left my home
When you promised to be mine alone
Now you're gone our love could never be
May you never be alone like me

In the bible,God's own words do say
For every wrong some day you'll have to pay
I'll pray the Lord to set me free
May you never be alone like me

Goodbye Little Darling

Goodbye little darling we're parting
Parting don't always mean goodbye
Although we have to part, you're always in my heart
Goodbye little darling goodbye

Goodbye little darling, I'll miss you
Miss you like the stars would miss the sky
I hate to see you go, I'm going to miss you so
Good bye little darling, goodbye

Goodbye little darling, I love you
I'll love you till the day I die
Will you dream a dream of me, wherever you may be
Goodbye little darling, goodbye

Olhar Matreiro (Inteiro)


Olhar Matreiro (Inteiro)
Composer(s): Fagner; Cazuza
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Quando eu voltar pra você
Eu vou voltar inteiro
Quando eu chegar
Com o meu olhar matreiro

Quando eu tocar a campainha
Me aninha
Estou certo que você é minha rainha
Eu tenho andado tão triste
Feito lixo ao sol
Pode dizer que não quer
Mas você vai ser de novo minha mulher

É que eu sou tão diferente
Daquele que te maltratou
Você vai ver, você vai gostar

Olha a lua lá no céu
Magrinha, turca
Olha o ar, olha o mar, olha as estrelas
Nada disso tem importância

A natureza é uma coisa
Tão sem importância
Contra a tua natureza

Ode To Billie Joe


Ode To Billie Joe
French Title: Marie-Jeanne
Composer(s): Bobbie Gentry
Originally performed by: Bobbie Gentry Covered by various other artists



It was the third of June
another sleepy, dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hay
And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat
And Mama hollered out the back door "y'all remember to wipe your feet"
And then she said "I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge"
"Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

'n' Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas
"Well Billy Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits, please"
"There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow"
'n' Mama said it was shame about Billy Joe, anyhow
Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

'n' Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe
Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show
And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night?
"I'll have another piece-a apple pie, you know it don't seem right"
"I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge"
"And now ya tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

'n' Mama said to me "Child, what's happened to your appetite?"
"I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a single bite"
"That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today"
"Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way"
"He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge"
"And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

A year has come 'n' gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe
'n' Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus going 'round, Papa caught it and he died last Spring
And now Mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything
And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
