Onda Su Onda


Onda Su Onda
Composer(s): Paolo Conte
Performer(s): Paolo Conte; Bruno Lauzi



Che notte buia che c'è... povero me, povero me...
che acqua gelida qua, nessuno più mi salverà...
son caduto dalla nave son caduto
mentre a bordo c'era il ballo...

Onda su onda
il mare mi porterà
alla deriva
in balia di una sorte bizzarra e cattiva...
onda su onda,
mi sto allontanando ormai...
la nave è una lucciola persa nel blu...
mai più mi salverò...

Sara, ti sei accorta?
Stai già danzando insieme a lui...
con gli occhi chiusi ti stringi a lui...
Sara... ma non importa...

Stupenda l'isola è... il clima è dolce intorno a me,
ci sono palme e bambù... è un luogo pieno di virtù...
steso al sole ad asciugarmi il corpo e il viso
guardo in faccia il paradiso...

Onda su onda
il mar mi ha portato qui:
ritmi, canzoni
donne di sogno, banane, lamponi...
onda su onda
mi sono ambientato ormai...
il naufragio mi ha dato la felicità che tu
non mi sai dar...

Sara, ti sei accorta?
Tu stai danzando insieme a lui...
con gli occhi chiusi ti stringi a lui...
Sara... ma non importa...

Onda su onda...

Mélancolie


Mélancolie
Composer(s): Yves Duteil
Performer(s): Yves Duteil



Il y a des jours où, quand le jour se lève
On voudrait rentrer tout au fond d'un rêve
Et puis, soudain, lorsque le clocher sonne
Il y a des jours où l'on n'est plus personne

Alors, on ferme les yeux un instant
Quand on les rouvre, tout est comme avant
Les gens vous voient et leur regard s'étonne
Il y a des jours où l'on n'est plus personne

Comme au milieu d'un cinéma désert
On rembobine et tout passe à l'envers
Et quand on pense aux gens qu'on abandonne
Il y a des jours où l'on n'est plus personne

La la la la la la
La la la
La la la...

Ouvrir son cœur à tous les vents qui passent
Et, qu'un matin, tous les chagrins s'effacent
Pour oublier, dans le bonheur qu'on donne
Qu'il y a des jours où l'on n'est plus personne

Qu'il y a des jours où, quand le jour se lève
Ou voudrait rentrer tout au fond des rêves
Et s'endormir lorsque le clocher sonne
Il y a des jours où l'on n'est plus personne

Oncle Archibald


Oncle Archibald
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
Performer(s): Georges Brassens; Barbara



O vous, les arracheurs de dents
Tous les cafards, les charlatans
Les prophètes
Comptez plus sur oncle Archibald
Pour payer les violons du bal
A vos fêtes

En courant sus à un voleur
Qui venait de lui chiper l'heure
A sa montre
Oncle Archibald, coquin de sort!
Fit, de Sa Majesté la Mort
La rencontre

Telle un' femm' de petit' vertu
Elle arpentait le trottoir du
Cimetière
Aguichant les hommes en troussant
Un peu plus haut qu'il n'est décent
Son suaire

Oncle Archibald, d'un ton gouailleur
Lui dit: "Va-t'en fair' pendre ailleurs
Ton squelette
Fi! des femelles décharnees!
Vive les belles un tantinet
Rondelettes!"

Lors, montant sur ses grands chevaux
La Mort brandit la longue faux
D'agronome
Qu'elle serrait dans son linceul
Et faucha d'un seul coup, d'un seul
Le bonhomme

Comme il n'avait pas l'air content
Elle lui dit: "Ça fait longtemps
Que je t'aime
Et notre hymen à tous les deux
Etait prévu depuis le jour de
Ton baptême

"Si tu te couches dans mes bras
Alors la vie te semblera
Plus facile
Tu y seras hors de portée
Des chiens, des loups, des homm's et des
Imbéciles

"Nul n'y contestera tes droits
Tu pourras crier "Vive le roi!"
Sans intrigue
Si l'envi' te prend de changer
Tu pourras crier sans danger
"Vive la Ligue!"

"Ton temps de dupe est révolu
Personne ne se paiera plus
Sur ta bête
Les "Plaît-il, maître?" auront plus cours
Plus jamais tu n'auras à courber la tête"

Et mon oncle emboîta le pas
De la belle, qui ne semblait pas
Si féroce
Et les voilà, bras d'ssus, bras d'ssous
Les voilà partis je n' sais où
Fair' leurs noces

O vous, les arracheurs de dents
Tous les cafards, les charlatans
Les prophètes
Comptez plus sur oncle Archibald
Pour payer les violons du bal
A vos fêtes

Melancholy Serenade


Melancholy Serenade
Composer(s): Duke Enston; Jackie Gleason
Performer(s): Connie Francis
and various other artists



Melancholy serenade every time I hear it played
Right out of space your haunting face appears

There were other serenades
Broken promises we made
Why must I pay day after day with tears

Alone in my room I watch the ghost of you
Alone in the gloom once more I'm close to you

Melancholy serenade
As the music starts to fade
I feel your kiss and then you disappear

Alone in the gloom once more I'm close to you

Melancholy serenade
As the music starts to fade
I feel your kiss and then you disappear

Once You Understand


Once You Understand
Composer(s): Lou Stallman; Bobby Susser
Performer(s): Think



Things get a little easier
Once you understand
Things get a little easier
Once you understand.....

I`ll be expecting you to
Get a haircut by Friday
(Forget it, Dad)
(That won`t change anything)
Forget nothing, you`ll do as I say
As long as you`re living in my house

He knows I`m not feeling well
And yet he doesn`t take one
Second out to help his mother
His only concern is for himself

(Come on, Ma)
(What do you want from me)
Don`t argue with your mother
Just shut up and listen

But, Mom, all my
Friends will be there
(I said, no, you can`t go)

But why
(I don`t want you
In that neighborhood)
Why, what`s wrong
With that neighborhood
(I don`t like the kind of
People living there)
Why, what`s wrong with them
(Nevermind)
(Some day, you`ll thank me)

Are you sure no one kept you
Company tonight while
You were babysitting
(What`s that supposed to mean)
Just curious
(Admit it, Mom, you don`t trust me)

Where are you going now
(To my friend`s house)
Don`t you have things
To do in the house
Don`t you have any homework
Why don`t you sit down
And read a book (oh, ma)

Don`t oh, Ma, me
You`re wasting your life
Away with the foolish things
(What are you talking about
How about your bridge club
And your ladies groups
And your parties and
Your daytime programs
What about all that)
That`s different

Ma, I`ll be home at eleven
(You better be home at ten or
Don`t bother to come home at all)

When I was your age
I was working twelve hours a day
Six days a week helping to pay
For the food and the rent
(I don`t understand, what`s
That got to do with me)
If you can`t figure that out
For yourself, you`re stupid

Hey, Dad
Did you see my new guitar
I joined a group
(Son, there`s a little bit more
To life than joining a group
And playing the guitar)
Yeah, Dad, what is there to life

Mister Cook (yes)
You have a son named Robert
Robert Cook, age seventeen (yes)
I`m sorry, Mister Cook
You better come down
To the station house
You son is dead (dead, how)
He died of an overdose (oh, God)

Melancholy Moon


Melancholy Moon
Composer(s): Cy Coleman; Carolyn Leigh
Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters



It's a melancholy moon, making magic in an empty night
It's a sorry serenade that's being played when you're not near me
And I long to hold you near me
So my darling if you hear me
Let the stars begin to shine
Let me see them in your eyes tonight
Give the music back its charms
Don't let these arms remain without you
Oh my love the world without you is a world that's out of tune
It's a sorry serenade to a mighty lonely me and a melancholy moon
Make it soon, here we'll be a mighty lonely me and a melancholy moon

Once Upon A Time In The West


Once Upon A Time In The West
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Dire Straits



Some people get a cheap laugh breaking up the speed limit
Scaring up pedestrians for a minute
Crossing up the progress driving on the grass
Leaving just enough for room to pass
Sunday driver never took a test
Oh yeah, once upon a time in the west

Yes, and it's no use saying that you don't know nothing
Still gonna get you if don't do something
Sitting on the fence that's a dangerous course
You can even catch a bullet from the peace keeping force
Even a hero gets a bullet in the chest
Oh yeah, once upon a time in the west

I want to marry your children Mrs. Lauden
Some of your mothers ought to lock up your daughters
Who's protecting the innocent team
A heap of trouble in the land of plenty
Tell me how we're gonna do what's best
You guessed, once upon a time in the west

Oh yeah, once upon a time in the west...

Melancholy Mood


Melancholy Mood
Composer(s): Vic Knight; Walter Schumann
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra and various other artists



Melancholy mood forever haunts me
Steals upon me in the night
Forever taunts me
Oh, what a lonely soul am I
Stranded high and dry
By a melancholy mood

Gone is every joy and inspiration
Tears are all I have to show
No consolation
All I can see is grief and gloom
Till the crack of doom
Oh, melancholy mood

Deep in the night
I search for a trace
Of a lingering kiss, a warm embrace
But love is a whimsy
And as flimsy as lace
And my arms embrace an empty space

Melancholy mood, why must you blind me
Pity me and break the chains
The chains that bind me
Won't you release me, set me free
Bring him back to me
Oh, melancholy mood

Deep in the night
I search for a trace
Of a lingering kiss, a warm embrace
But love is a whimsy
As flimsy as lace
And my arms embrace an empty space

Melancholy mood, why must you blind me
Pity me and break the chains
The chains that bind me
Won't you release me, set me free
Bring him back to me
Oh, melancholy mood

And set me free
Oh, melancholy mood

Once Upon A Time (Tony Bennett)


Once Upon A Time
Composer(s): Lee Adams; Charles Strouse
Perfomer(s): Tony Bennett;
and various other artists



Once upon a time, a girl with moonlight in her eyes
Put her hand in mine and said she loved me so
But that was once upon a time, very long ago

Once upon a time, we sat beneath the willow tree
Counting all the stars and waiting for the dawn
But that was once upon a time – now the tree has gone

How the breeze ruffled through her hair
How we always laughed as though tomorrow wasn’t there
We were young and didn’t have a care
Where did it go?

Once upon a time, the world was sweeter than we knew
Everything was ours – how happy we were then
But, somehow, once upon a time never comes again

#9 Dream


#9 Dream Composer(s): John Lennon Performer(s): John Lennon; A-Ha; R.E.M.



So long ago
Was it in a dream
Was it just a dream?
I know, yes I know
Seemed so very real
It seemed so real to me

Took a walk down the street
Thru the heat whispered trees
I thought I could hear (hear, hear, hear)
Somebody call out my name as it started to rain

Two spirits dancing so strange

Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé

Dream, dream away
Magic in the air, was magic in the air?
I believe, yes I believe
More I cannot say, what more can I say?

On a river of sound
Thru the mirror go round, round
I thought I could feel (feel, feel, feel)
Music touching my soul, something warm, sudden cold
The spirit dance was unfolding

Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé

Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé

Melancholy Melon


Melancholy Melon
Composer(s): Lynsey de Paul; James Coburn
Performer(s): Lynsey de Paul



I am feeling like a melon
I am feeling like a meloncholy melon
I am feeling like a meloncholy melon in a heatwave

Wish I wasn't so mellow
Wish I wasn't so mellow turning yellow
Wish I wasn't so mellow turning yellow in a heatwave

I need your soft breeze
Blowing 'cross the desert from the palm trees
To cool me down
I want your slow rain
Falling in the valleys and the low plains

Can't you see I'm not a cactus
Can't you see the fact is I'm not a cactus
Can't you see the fact is I'm not a cactus in a heatwave

aaah...

Don't want more sunshine
I can't take more heat
I don't need more nothing to make me ripe and sweet

I need your soft breeze
Blowing 'cross the desert from the palm trees
To cool me down
I want your slow rain
Falling in the valleys and the low plains

Don't you know that I am ready
Don't you know that I am edible and ready
Don't you know that I am edible and ready and I'm hot

I am feeling like a melon
I am feeling like a melancholy melon
I am feeling like a melancholy melon in a heatwave

aaah...

1 + 1 = 3


1 + 1 = 3
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Noche de sortilegio y superstición
Una gitana habla de traición
Al ver la línea de su corazón
¡Ay, las cosas del querer!
¡ay, su orgullo de mujer!
Celos, llenos de amor
Sombras de confusión
Uno más uno, tres
Le dijo la mujer
Su honra pisada, su alma ultrajada
El odio araña a Carmen de España
Corre con la venganza dentro de la piel
Y al ver su hombre con otra mujer
Le arde la sangre hasta enloquecer
¡Ay, la vida en un puñal!
¡ay, fatídico final!
Celos llenos de amor
Sombras de confusión
Uno más uno, tres
Le dijo la mujer
Rayos de luna en nubes oscuras
Ríos de muerte y amantes sin suerte
Uno más uno, tres
Le dijo la mujer
Fuego de infierno y frío de invierno
Dos cuerpos brillan y al fondo Sevilla
Uno más uno, tres
Celos de una mujer
Uno más uno tres
Celos de una mujer
¡Ay, amor! lo haría, sin dudar por tu amor
¡ay, amor! no pude soportar tu traición
Uno más uno, tres
Le dijo la mujer
Rayos de luna en nubes oscuras
Ríos de muerte y amantes sin suerte
Uno más uno, tres
Le dijo la mujer
Fuego de infierno y frío de invierno
Dos cuerpos que brillan y al fondo Sevilla
... Celos de amor, celos
Uno más uno, tres
celos de una mujer
uno más uno, tres
celos de una mujer
Uno más uno tres

Melancholy Me


Melancholy Me
Composer(s): Howard Biggs; Joe "Cornbread" Thomas
Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald; Eddy Howard



Melancholy me
Melancholy over you
All alone and feelin' blue
Are you melancholy too

Miss you every day
Ever since you went away
Melancholy over you
Are you melancholy too

While each minute seems
Like hours to me
Each hour seems like years
Each day is an eternity
Of sadness and tears

All I do is yearn
Though I know you'll soon return
But until you do, I'll be
Just a melancholy me

While each minute seems
Like hours to me
Each hour seems like years
Each day is an eternity
Of sadness and tears

All I do is yearn
Though I know you'll soon return
But until you do, I'll be
Just a melancholy me

Once Upon A Time (Dan Fogelberg)


Once Upon A Time
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg



Every morning you wake up alone
And you shake up your soul
But nothing stirs
So you take the love of whoever
you please
But you can't find no reason
For giving yours

'Cause, once upon a time
You held a love so strong and fine
That all the others simply don't compare
She's always on your mind
But once upon a time
You had her there

Drive into town 'most every night
On the chance that there might be someone
Waiting for you
You tell yourself you'll
Give it your best
Maybe settle for less
But you never do

'Cause, once upon a time
You held a love so strong and fine
That all the others simply don't compare
She's always on your mind
But once upon a time
You had her there

Every morning you wake up alone
And you shake up your soul
But nothing stirs
So you take the love of whoever
you please
But you can't find no reason
For giving yours

'Cause, once upon a time
You held a love so strong and fine
That all the others simply don't compare
She's always on your mind
But once upon a time
You had her there

2000 Miles


2000 Miles Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde First release by: The Pretenders - 1983




He's gone
2000 miles
is very far
The snow is falling down
It's colder day by day
I miss you
The children will sing
"He'll be back at Christmas time"

In me it's frozen in silent nights
Sometimes in a dream
You appear
Outside under the purple sky
Diamonds in the snow
Sparkle
Our hearts were singing
It felt like Christmas time

2000 miles
is very far through the snow
I'll think of you
Wherever you go

He's gone
2000 miles
is very far
The snow's falling down
It's colder day by day

I miss you
I can hear people singing
It must be Christmas time
I hear people singing
It must be Christmas time

1 Of The 2


1 Of The 2
Composer(s): Brian James
Performer(s): The Damned



Oh yeah you're all cracked up fury
All get no jury to defend you
You tried but you couldn't try
When they see you
You want me to hang around
With you always
But you lie and die
When all you ever give me is disgrace
That's the way down
That's the way down
That's sedation
That's sedation
Or one of the two
Or one of the two
With our saturation eyes
You think you can disguise all those meat things
But can you grovel in the dust
With masochistic lust and make the song sing
Oh yeah you're all cracked up fury
All get no jury to defend you
You tried but you couldn't cry
When they see you
That's the way down
That's the way down
That's sedation
That's sedation
Or one of the two
Or one of the two
Oh yeah you're all cracked up fury
All get no jury to defend you
You tried but you couldn't cry
When they see you
You want me to hang around
With you always
But you lie and die
When all you ever give me is disgrace
That's the way down
That's the way down
That's sedation
That's sedation
Or one of the two
Or one of the two
One of the two
Or one of the two
Or one of the two

Melancholy Man


Melancholy Man
Composer(s): Mike Pinder
Performer(s): The Moody Blues



I´m a melancholy man
That´s what I am
All the world surrounds me
And my feet are on the ground
I´m a very lonely man
Doing what I can
All the world astounds me
And I think I understand
That we´re going
To keep growing
Wait and see

When all the stars are falling down
Into the sea and on the ground
And angry voices carry on the wind
A beam of light will fill your head
And you´ll remember what´s been said
By all the good men this world´s ever known
Another man is what you´ll see
Who looks like you and looks like me
And yet somehow he will not feel the same
His life caught up in misery
He doesn´t think like you and me
´Coz he can´t see what you and I can see

When all the stars are falling down
Into the sea and on the ground
And angry voices carry on the wind
A beam of light will fill your head
And you´ll remember what´s been said
By all the good men this world´s ever known
Another man is what you´ll see
Who looks like you and looks like me
And yet somehow he will not feel the same
His life caught up in misery
He doesn´t think like you and me (A melancholy man)
´Coz he can´t see what you and I can see (A very lonely man)
(Repeat both verses together)

Once Upon A Summer Afternoon


Once Upon A Summer Afternoon
Composer(s): Levitt; Snyder
Performer(s): John Gary



There were blue butterflies golden daffodils
And a pale August sky filled with whippoorwills
When we fell in love once upon a summer afternoon
I remember a kiss and an apple tree
And the sound of her laughter still follows me
We were so in love once upon a summer afternoon
But the end of the dream always makes me cry
I can still hear the word goodbye
Only blue butterflies, golden daffodils, apple trees
And my heart knows I love her still
Once her love was mine once upon a summer afternoon
Once her love was mine once upon a summer afternoon
