One Particular Harbour


One Particular Harbour
Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett; Bobby Holcomb
Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett



"We're going to that one particular harbour
Take our Caribbean roots with us, huh?
You certainly look dressed for the occasion"
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei

I know I don't get there often enough
But God knows I surely try
It's a magic kind of medicine
That no doctor could prescribe

I used to rule my world from a pay phone
Ships out on the sea
But now times are rough
Oh I got too much stuff
I can't explain the likes of me

Chorus:
But there's this one particular harbor
So far but yet so near
Where I see the days as they fade away
Finally disappear

But now I think about the good times
Down in the Caribbean sunshine
In my younger days I was so bad
Laughin' about all the fun we've had

I seen enough to feel the world spin
Mixin' different oceans meetin' cousins
Listen to the drummers and the night sounds
Listen to the singers make the world go 'round

Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei

Lakes below the mountain
Flow into the sea
Like oils applied to canvas
Oh how they permeate through me

But there's this one particular harbor
Sheltered from the wind
Where the children play on the shore each day
And all are safe within

A most mysterious calling harbor
So far but yet so near
Where I can see the day when my hair's full gray
And I finally disappear

Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei

Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei

Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei

(Ua pau te maitai no te fenua)
(Te zai noa ra te ora o te mitie)
(Ua pau te maitai no te fenua)
(Te zai noa ra te ora o te mitie)

Mes Mains Sur Tes Hanches


Mes Mains Sur Tes Hanches
Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo



Sois pas fachée si je te chante les souvenirs de mes quinze ans
Ne boude pas c'que tu es absente de mes rêveries d'adolescent
Ces amourettes insignifiantes ont preparé un grand amour
Et c'est pourquoi je te les chante et les présentant tour à tour

Mais laisse mes mains sur tes hanches
Ne fais pas ses yeux furibond
Oui, tu l'auras ta revanche: tu seras ma dernière chanson

Dans chaque fille que j'ai connu, c'est un peu toi que je cherchais
Quand, dans mes bras, je t'ai tenu, moi je tremblais, je comprenais
Que tu est sortie d'une fâble pour venir habiter mon rêve
Et ce serait bien regrettable que notre amour ainsi s'achève
Oui, se serait bien regrettable que notre amour ainsi s'achève

Mais laisse mes mains sur tes hanches
Ne fais pas ses yeux furibond
Oui, tu l'auras ta revanche: tu seras ma dernière chanson

Laisse mes mains sur tes hanches
Ne fais pas ses yeux furibond
Oui, tu l'auras ta revanche: tu seras ma dernière chanson

One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong


One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong
Composer(s): Leonard Cohen
Performer(s): Leonard Cohen;
Drunk; Harvey Milk



I lit a thin green candle
To make you jealous of me
But the room just filled up with mosquitoes
They heard that my body was free
Then I took the dust of a long sleepless night
And I put it in your little shoe
Then I confess that I tortured the dress
That you wore for the world to look through

I showed my heart to the doctor
He said I'd just have to quit
Then he wrote himself a prescription
And your name was mentioned in it
Then he locked himself in a library shelf
With the details of our honeymoon
and I hear from the nurse that he's gotten much worse
and his practice is all in a ruin

I heard of a saint who had loved you
So I studied all night in his school
He taught that the duty of lovers
Is to tarnish the golden rule
And just when I was sure that his teachings were pure
He drowned himself in the pool
His body is gone, but back here on the lawn
His spirit continues to drool

An Eskimo showed me a movie
He'd recently taken of you
The poor man could hardly stop shivering
His lips and his fingers were blue
I suppose that he froze when the wind took your clothes
And I guess he just never got warm
But you stand there so nice in your blizzard of ice
O please let me come into the storm

Mes Mains


Mes Mains
Composer(s): Gilbert Bécaud; Pierre Délanoë
Originally performed by: Gilbert Bécaud
Covered by: Gérard Darmon



Mes mains
Dessinent dans le soir
La forme d'un espoir
Qui ressemble à ton corps

Mes mains
Quand elles tremblent de fièvre
C'est de nos amours brèves
Qu'elles se souviennent encore

Mes mains
Caressent dans leurs doigts
Des riens venant de toi
Cherchant un peu de joie

Mes mains
Se tendent en prière
Vers ton ombre légère
Disparue dans la nuit

Mes mains
Elles t'aiment à la folie
D'un amour infini
Elles t'aiment pour la vie

As-tu déjà effacé ce passé qui m'obsède?
As-tu déjà oublié que ces mains ont tout donné?

Mes mains
Qui voudraient caresser
Un jour seront lassées
D'attendre ton retour

Mes mains
Elles iront te chercher
Là où tu t'es cachée
Avec un autre amour

Mes mains
Méprisant les prières
Trembleront de colère
Et je n'y pourrai rien

Mes mains
Pour toujours dans la nuit
Emporteront ta vie
Mais puisque tu le sais

Reviens
Et tout comme autrefois
Elles frémiront pour toi
Dans la joie retrouvée

Reviens
Ne les repousse pas
Ces mains tendues vers toi
Et donne-leur tes mains

One Of Those Songs


One Of Those Songs
Composer(s): Gerard Calvi; Will Holt
Performer(s): Jimmy Durante;
and various other artists



Well, this is one of those songs that you hear now and then
You don't know just where and you don't know just when
It's one of those songs that are over and then
It's one of those songs that starts playing again

Yes, it's one of those songs that you hear for awhile
That come into fashion, then go out of style
It's one of those songs that you think you forgot
But it's one of those songs you cannot

Because it's one of those songs that can make you recall
A ride in the springtime, a walk in the fall
A day in the country, a night on the town
The sun coming up or the rain coming down

Or else the evening you parted, the morning you met
The love of your life you can never forget
The reason is simple, the memory belongs
To one of those wonderful songs

Well, this is one of those songs that's so easy to hear
You listen just once, and you play it by ear
It's hummed on verandas and strummed on guitars
And all you remember is "lah-dah-dah-dah"

But later on you recall it in some other year
You may start to smile or you may shed a tear
You'll find that a part of your lifetime belongs
To one of those wonderful songs

Fluister In Mijn Oren


Fluister In Mijn Oren
Performer(s): Rosita & Club 68



Fluister, fluister in mijn oren
niemand hoeft het toch te horen
wanneer jij me zegt, zachtjes tot me zegt
dat jou liefde groot is en oprecht
Fluister,fluister in mijn oren
laat het aan geen ander horen
het gaat geen mens wat aan
wij blijven steeds bijeen
't is een groot geheim van ons alleen

Men zegt,wij zijn te jong voor de liefde
men zegt dat wij daarvan nog niets verstaan
maar ach het laat me koud wat ze zeggen
ik trek me van de mensen toch niets aan

Fluister, fluister in mijn oren
niemand hoeft het toch te horen
wanneer jij me zegt, zachtjes tot me zegt
dat jou liefde groot is en oprecht
Fluister, fluister in mijn oren
laat het aan geen ander horen
het gaat geen mens wat aan
wij blijven steeds bijeen
't is een groot geheim van ons alleen
't is een groot geheim van ons alleen

One Of Those Nights Composer(s): Troy Seals; Conway Twitty
Performer(s): B.B. King; Calvin Owens



Come here, baby
Let me wrap you around my fingers
I want you so much
And love's just a touch away
So touch me, baby
And you'll feel a man on fire
Just hold on to me
'Cause it's gonna be one of those nights

Oh one of those nights
When love has us right in its hands
Oh here in the dark
What you do to my heart
Woman, your wonder don't end
And it's one of those nights
One of those nights again

Darling, I know
I know this ain't no time for talking
But you know I've just got to tell you
I just have to tell you
How I feel right now
And I wanna say, baby, you're something
And I'm wrapped around your finger
I want you again
'Cause I'm so far into one of those nights

Oh one of those nights
When love has us right in its hands
Oh here in the dark
What you do to my heart
Woman, your wonder don't end
And it's one of those nights
One of those nights again

Composer(s): Roger Baeten; S. Piotr
Performer(s): Roger Baeten



Blijf je bij mij of is alles nu voorbij
Toe zeg me ’t is niet waar wat je zei
Blijf je bij mij of is alles nu gedaan
Wat er eens tussen ons heeft bestaan

Gisteren, ja gisteren was allles nog zo mooi
Toen geloofde ik jouw lieve woorden
En nu dat je mij vandaag hier zo laat staan
Wat zin heeft mijn leven nog voortaan

Waar ga je heen oh ik kan niet zonder jou
Voor het leven had ik jou gekozen
En niemand, nee niemand zal jou ooit verstaan
Daarom zeg me wat heb ik misdaan

One Of These Things First


One Of These Things First
Composer(s): Nick Drake
Performer(s): Nick Drake;
Eugene Chadbourne; Chris Gestrin



I could have been a sailor, could have been a cook
A real live lover, could have been a book
I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock
As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock
I could be
Here and now
I would be, I should be
But how?
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first

I could have been your pillar, could have been your door
I could have stayed beside you, could have stayed for more
Could have been your statue, could have been your friend
A whole long lifetime could have been the end
I could be yours so true
I would be, I should be through and through
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first

I could have been a whistle, could have been a flute
A real live giver, could have been a boot
I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock
As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock
I could be even here
I would be, I should be so near
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first

Mes Joies Quotidiennes


Mes Joies Quotidiennes
English & German Title: My Favorite Things
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Marie Michèle Desrosiers
(Originally performed by: Mary Martin)



Pétales de roses et moustaches de chatons
Bonnes mitaines et bon feu qui brille
Beau cahier quadrillé cheveux mouillés
C'est là un peu de mes joies quotidiennes

Gros mille feuilles tarte aux pommes fraîches
Grand bol de crème dont on se pourlèche
Belle oie sauvage qui s'envole dans la plaine
C'est là un peu de mes joies quotidiennes

Gaie robe claire coiffures en nattes
Doux flocons blancs sur mon nez écarlate
Les fleurs d'avril en bouquets qui reviennent
C'est là un peu de mes joies quotidiennes

Quand le chien mord quand l'abeille pique
Quand ça marche mal
C'est simple je pense à mes joies quotidiennes
Et tout alors va très bien

One Of These Nights
Composer(s): Glenn Frey; Don Henley

One of these nights
one of these crazy old nights
we're gonna find out pretty mama

The full moon is callin'

You got your demons, you got desires
well, I got a few of my own

Oo, someone to be kind to in between the dark and the light
oo, comin' right behind you, swear I'm gonna find you
one of these nights

One of these dreams
one of these lost and lonely dreams, now
we're gonna find one
mm, one that really screams

I've been searchin' for the daughter of the devil himself
I've been searchin' for an angel in white

(An') I've been waitin' for a woman who's a little of both
an' I can feel her but she's nowhere in sight

Oo, lonliness will blind you in between the wrong and the right
oh! oo, comin' right behind you,swear I'm gonna find you
one of these nights

One of these nights
mm, in between the dark and the light
comin' right behind you, swear I'm gonna find you
get you, baby, one of these nights

One of these nights
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo

One of these nights
I can feel you, I can feel

One of these nights
Comin' right behind you swear I'm gonna find you now

One of these nights
An' I guess I'll die, guess I'll die, been all alone

One of these nights
One of these crazy, crazy, crazy nights

One of these nights
Swear I'm gonna find you, comin' right behind me, now

One of these nights
Hoo, hoo

One of these nights
An' an, I wanna stay

One of these nights...

Für Dich Allein


Für Dich Allein
Composer(s): Lilibert; W. Twardy
Performer(s): Roy Black



Wir bauen ein Hotel, nur für uns allein gedacht
Mit 'nem Cowboy als Direktor
Mensch das wäre doch gelacht
Eine Rutschbahn als Geländer, und ein Schießstand auf dem Flur
Aus dem Wasserhahn kommt Cola, jeder knallt in einer Tour

Hast Du sowas schon geseh'n?
Au weia, das wäre schön, so schön

Du kannst nicht alles haben, das Glück, den Sonnenschein
Beim schönsten Regenbogen muß auch Regen sein
Auf jeder grünen Wiese siehst Du auch Disteln steh'n
Und Rosen ohne Dornen hast Du nie geseh'n
Mach Deine Augen auf, kann es denn schöner sein?
|: Die Welt und was dazu gehört ist nur für Dich allein :|

Zu jeder Stunde Würstchen und 'ne Tüte mit Pommes frites
Lauter Kaugummi am Sofa, und die Schule sind wir quitt
Auch ein Lagerfeuer gibt es hier bei uns im ersten Stock
Und verbrennt die ganze Bude, keiner sucht den Sündenbock

Hast Du sowas schon geseh'n?
Au weia, das wäre schön, so schön

Du kannst nicht alles haben, das Glück, den Sonnenschein
Beim schönsten Regenbogen muß auch Regen sein
Auf jeder grünen Wiese siehst Du auch Disteln steh'n
Und Rosen ohne Dornen hast Du nie geseh'n
Mach Deine Augen auf, kann es denn schöner sein?
|: Die Welt und was dazu gehört ist nur für Dich allein :|

One Of The Ruins That Cromwell Knocked Around A Bit
Composer(s): Harry Bedford; Terry Sullivan
Performer(s): Marie Lloyd Jr.



I'm a bit of a ruin that Cromwell knocked about a bit
One of the ruins that Cromwell knocked about a bit

In the gay old days there used to be something doing
No wonder that the poor old abbey went to ruin

Those who raise their voices sing and shout of it
You can bet your life there isn't a doubt of it

Outside the Oliver Cromwell last Saturday night
I was one of the ruins that Cromwell knocked about a bit

I'm one of the ruins that Cromwell knocked about a bit
One of the ruins that Cromwell knocked about a bit

Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë; Gilbert Bécaud
Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud



Mes hommes
Mes hommes à moi
Ils sont tous morts et c'est ma faute
On était moins forts que les autres
Et ça, je ne le savais pas

Mes hommes
Mes hommes à moi
Je les ai cachés sous les pierres
Entre le fleuve et la frontière
Et j'ai planté deux arbres en croix
Sur mes hommes

Mes hommes
Mes hommes à moi
Ils se battaient pour une étoile
Mais elle était loin notre étoile
Bien trop loin pour nos pauvres bras

Mes hommes
Mes hommes à moi
Dans cette ville où je me cache
La nuit, je les entends qui marchent
J'entends les noms, j'entends les voix
De mes hommes

San Fuentes et sa chemise noire
Muerto!
Fernandez qui me doit trois cigares
Muerto!
El Frances qui était là par hasard
Muerto!
Muerto!
Muerto!

Mes hommes
Mes hommes à moi
Je jure sur le sang du monde
Qu'avant longtemps, sur votre tombe
La liberté refleurira
Mes hommes

San Fuentes, Fernandez, El Frances

Mes Frères
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë; Georges Aber; Billy Maxted
Performer(s): Caterina Valente; Dalida



C'est le jour du Seigneur écoutez le pasteur
Mes frères, mes frères la vie est un grand bal
Mes frères, mes frères un bal de carnaval

On danse, on danse un peu comme arlequin
La danse, la danse qui n'a jamais de fin

Avec des anges veillant sur nous guidant nos pas
Un bal étrange qui vers le ciel nous conduira
Mes frères, mes frères venez, dansez, chantez
Sur terre, sur terre pendant l'éternité

Comme un oiseau dans la cage on est un peu prisonnier
Interrogeons les nuages pour trouver la vérité

Pour en savoir davantage c'est beaucoup moins compliqué
La terre, la terre est parsemée d'amour
Mes frères, mes frères espérons chaque jour
Légères, légères vos peines s'en iront
Mes frères, mes frères les beaux jours reviendront
Mes frères, mes frères écoutez ma prière
Mes frères, mes frères dansez, chantez mes frères
Mes frères, mes frères voici que ma lumière
Eclaire, éclaire les chemins de misère
Mes frères, mes frères oubliez le tonnerre
Mes frères, mes frères et les jours de colère
Mes frères, mes frères écoutez ma prière
Mes frères, mes frères écoutez ma prière
Mes frères

C'est le jour du Seigneur, écoutez le pasteur

Mes Emmerdes


Mes Emmerdes
English Titles:
My Young And Troubled Days; Pretty Shitty Days
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Ed. Djanik
Originally performed by: Charles Aznavour
Covered by various other artists



J'ai travaillé
Des années
Sans répit
Jour et nuit
Pour réussir
Pour gravir
Les sommets
En oubliant
Souvent dans
Ma course contre le temps
Mes amis, mes amours, mes emmerdes

À corps perdu
J'ai couru
Assoiffé
Obstiné
Vers l'horizon
L'illusion
Vers l'abstrait
En sacrifiant
C'est navrant
Je m'en accuse à présent
Mes amis, mes amours, mes emmerdes

Mes amis c'était tout en partage
Mes amours faisaient très bien l'amour
Mes emmerdes étaient ceux de notre âge
Où l'argent c'est dommage
Eperonnait nos jours

Pour être fier
Je suis fier
Entre nous
Je l'avoue
J'ai fait ma vie
Mais il y a un mais
Je donnerais
Ce que j'ai
Pour retrouver, je l'admets
Mes amis, mes amours, mes emmerdes

Mes relations - Ah! mes relations
Sont - Vraiment sont
Haut placées - Très haut placées
Décorées - Très décorées
Influents - Très influents
Bedonnants - Très bedonnants
Des gens bien - Très très bien
Ils sont sérieux - Trop sérieux
Mais près d'eux - Tout près d'eux
J'ai toujours le regret de
Mes amis, mes amours, mes emmerdes

Mes amis étaient plein d'insouciance
Mes amours avaient le corps brûlant
Mes emmerdes aujourd'hui quand j'y pense
Avaient peu d'importance
Et c'était le bon temps

Les canulars
Les pétards
Les folies
Les orgies
Les jours du bac
Le cognac
Les refrains

Tout ce qui fait
Je le sais
Que je n'oublierai jamais
Mes amis, mes amours, mes emmerdes

One Of The Boys (Lauren Bacall)


One Of The Boys
Composer(s): John Kander; Fred Ebb
Performer(s): Lauren Bacall



I'm one of the girls who's one of the boys
Enjoying the jokes and the smokes and the noise
You wanna go fishing?
Well, hand me a reel
Majored in poker, so shut up and deal

I'm one of the gals who's one of the guys
Hey, put up your dukes and
I'll blacken your eyes
Behind all the Gucci and Pucci and pearls
I'm one of the boys
Although I'm one of the girls

I'm one of the does who's one of the stags
I chug-a-lug brews when I lose on the nags
Forget the Max Factor you find on my face
For barber shop fours I'm a fabulous bass

I'm one of the queens who's one of the drones
Just had me the dice and I'll rattle your bones
In spite of the dress, the finesse and the poise
I'm one of the girls who's really one of the boys

I'm one of the dames who's one of the knights
My Friday night treat is a seat for the fights
I love to go stroke with a Varsity crew
You wanna play snooker? Well, chalk up your cue

I'm one of the Janes who's one of the Joes
Here, hold my cigar while I powder my nose
I've layers of lacquer a lady enjoys
I've earring and bracelets and various toys
But I love when I've slipped into ripped corduroys
Because I'm one of the girls
(One of the girls)
One of the girls
(One of the girls)
One of the girls who's one of the boys
