Over The Hills To You


Over The Hills To You
Composer(s): Russell J. England; Clay Smith



I am coming back my darling
Over the hills to you
I am riding night and morning
Over the hills to you
The big red sun is sinking
Of you, dear heart, I'm thinking
When the light of dawn is gleaming
I'll be over the hills with you
I've been lonesome for you darling
Longing to be with you
I've been eager for the journey
Over the hills to you
Each milestone passed with yearning
Marks a stage of my returning
In strong arms of love I'll fold you
When I'm over the hills with you

Mirror In The Bathroom


Mirror In The Bathroom
Composer(s): Roger Charlery; Andy Cox;
Everett Morton; Dave Steele; Dave Wakeling
Performer(s): The English Beat
and various other artists



Mirror in the bathroom
please talk free
The door is locked
just you and me
Can I take you to a restaurant
that's got glass tables
You can watch yourself
while you are eating

Mirror in the bathroom
I just can't stop it
Every Saturday you see me
window shopping
Find no interest
in the racks and shelves
Just ten thousand reflections
of my own sweet self, self, self...

Mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom...

Mirror in the bathroom
Recompense
For all my crimes
of self defense
Cures you whisper
make no sense
Drift gently into
mental illness

Mirror in the bathroom
please talk free
The door is locked
just you and me
Can I take you to a restaurant
that's got glass tables
You can watch yourself
while you are eating

Mirror in the bathroom
Mirror in the bathroom...

Over The Green Hills


Over The Green Hills
Composer(s): Paul Rodgers
Performer(s): Free



Part 1


Over the green hills and into the sun
that's where I feel I ought to be goin'
blue sky above me and green earth below
don't even matter which way I go Yeah!
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah

The trees hold their arms out to catch what life gives
but the people try to snatch all there is
they can have all I own
I don't need anything
I'll just follow the river, and see what it brings
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah

----------


Part 2


AH ah ah ah ah
AH ah ah ah ah
I need to be free where the air is clean
and the sparking river is cool on my skin

When the sun shines I'll follow it's glow
And I won't stop moving till it's sinking low
Ah ah ah ah ah

----------

Mirarte


Mirarte
Composer(s): Miguel Bosé; Lanfranco Ferrario; M. Grilli
Performer(s): Miguel Bosé



Tirar pa'lante
Hasta que el corazón aguante
Sin que me importe
Nada ni nadie
Y hasta que pueda
Solo quiero amarte
Apasionarte
Apasionadamente atarte
A mi cintura
No obedecerte, crucificarte
Y luego mirarte
Solo mirarte
Hartarme de mirarte
Hasta cansarme, hasta cansarme
Mirarte
Solo mirarte
Amar amar amante puedo
De amor amado amante quiero
Amadamente amor amado y solo amar
Amar amar amarte y luego
Amante se que quiero
Amadamente amor amado y solo amar...
Punto y aparte
Para rimarte y seducirte
Que no me basta, no es suficiente
Sin demostrarte
Qué puedo hacer de ti...
Amar amar amante puedo
De amor amado amante quiero
Amadamente amor amado y solo amar
Amar amar amarte y luego
Amante se que quiero
Amadamente amor amado y solo amar...

Over My Head


Over My Head
Composer(s): Christine McVie
Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac



You can take me to paradise
And then again you can be cold as ice
I'm over my head
But it sure feels nice

You can take me anytime you like
I'll be around if you think you might
Love me baby
And hold me tight
Your mood is like a circus wheel
You're changing all the time
Sometimes I can't help but feel
That I'm wasting all of my time

Think I'm looking on the dark side
But everyday you hurt my pride
I'm over my head
But it sure feels nice
I'm over my head
But it sure feels nice

Mirándonos Los Dos


Mirándonos Los Dos
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Nos va ocupando
una incipiente indiferencia que levanta
su voz
en silencio precoz
avisando
que el fantasma del tiempo no vive en
la edad
sino en la soledad
esa prisión
donde envejece el corazón
Y así es la mismo
la noche y el día
la cumbre, el abismo
la melancolía
y el llanto de amor
ese espejo de Dios
que se empañó, mirándonos los dos
Siento que el alma
desvaneciendo en nuestros cuerpos
lejos de resistir
se dispone a morir
en la calma
Y esa muerte que nadie podrá detener
no dejará de ser un paso más
ese otro que quedó detrás
Y así es lo mismo...
La cobardía
que nos esposa el uno al otro
provocando el temor
de afrontar el error
que nos guía
es la herida que deja el sentido común
ese residuo aún
de insensatez
que nos conduce a la vejez
Y así es lo mismo...

Mirage (Tommy James & The Shondells)


Mirage
Composer(s): Ritchie Cordell
Originally performed by: Tommy James & The Shondells



I see you standin' in the alleys and the hallways, you're gone now
I run to touch you but you vanished through the doorways
And oh how hard it is to live without you!
I loved everything about you. Now I know you're really gone
But my imagination is so strong that

I see you coming into view
And your face is telling me that you
Oh, yeah, oh, wanna be by my side
Oh, yeah, oh, now it's finally time
Mirage, that's all you are to me
Mirage, something I only see

So I keep walkin' through the alleys and the hallways
Where are you?
I keep remembering the kissin' in the doorways, the car, too
How it all comes back to me
The movies every Saturday, the place we used to go to eat
I want so much to have it like it used to be then

I see you coming into view
And your face is telling me that you
Oh, yeah, oh, wanna be by my side
Oh, yeah, oh, now it's finally time
Mirage, that's all you are to me
Mirage, something I only see

Just a mirage, that's all you are to me, yes
Just a mirage, something that I only see
(repeat)

Janet:
In the velvet darkness
Of the blackest night
Burning bright
There's a guiding star
No matter what or who you are

Brad & Janet:
There's a light (Over at the Frankenstein place)
There's a light (Burning in the fireplace)
There's a light, light (In the darkness of everybody's life)

Riff Raff:
The darkness must go
Down the river of night's dreaming
Flow morphia slow
Let the sun and light come streaming
Into my life, into my life

Brad & Janet:
There's a light (Over at the Frankenstein place)
There's a light (Burning in the fireplace)
There's a light, light (In the darkness of everybody's life)

On Ne Vit Pas Sans Se Dire Adieu


On Ne Vit Pas Sans Se Dire Adieu (Adapted from: Soleado - 1974) Composer(s): Ciro Dammico; Henri Dijan Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu - 1974 Titles In Other Languages: 1974 - When A Child Is Born 1974 - Tränen Lügen Nicht 1974 - Todo El Tiempo Del Mundo



On ne vit pas sans se dire adieu
On ne vit pas sans mourir un peu
Sans abandonner pour aller plus loin
Sur son chemin quelque chose ou quelqu'un

Je suis venu pour te dire adieu
Un souvenir, meurt toujours un peu
J'ai voulu savoir, ce qu'il m'a resté
Du seul amour, qui ait pu compté

Je suis venu pour te dire adieu
Ou si tu veux, adieu à nous deux
Comme le jour, où tu m'as fait pleuré
En me disant adieu à jamais

Oh ce n'était pas ta faute, je le sais
Je sais tout ce qu'il allait se passer, allez
Ton père et tout ce qu'il a pu te dire
Tes études à finir, ton service, ton avenir
Et puis cette fille n'est pas pour toi
Aujourd'hui tu es une autre
Tout est qui finit bien, quand
Mais qu'est-ce que j'ai pu t'aimer toi
J'avais seize ans, seize ans

On ne vit pas sans se dire adieu
On ne vit pas sans mourir un peu
J'ai voulu arrêter le temps
Le temps de dire, adieu mes seize ans

J'ai voulu dire, adieu mes seize ans
Avant d'aller, vers ce qui m'attend

Mirage (Santana)


Mirage
Composer(s): Leon Patillo
Performer(s): Santana



I am just a mirage
Oh - I am just a mirage
when you look at me
thru your crystal glass you will see
that I am now your past
but you give your love to me
In your life I wasn't meant to be
Oh I am just a mirage
Oh I am just a mirage
Just a mirage fading away like water

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I am just a mirage
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I am just a mirage
I am just a mirage
But until that day has come
When you say I'll be your only one
I will live the way it's meant for me
With ups and downs and mystery

Over And Over Again


Over And Over Again
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Lorenz Hart
Performer(s): Doris Day;
and various other artists



Swing high, swing low, upon the trapeze
At first you’ll fall, but then
A year from now you’ll do it with ease
Over and over and over again
A star does not come out of the sky
He starts to work at ten
To reach the top, you gotta keep trying
Over and over and over and over
And over and over again

It’s up in the morning and down in the ring
Acrobat, rider and clown
Queen of the wire and aerial king
Work or you’ll forfeit your crown
You stick to your trick
And your trick will be art
Artists are hard-working men
After you’re perfect, that’s when you first start
Over and over again, once again, and again
Do it over and over again

(Choir) Swing high, swing low, upon the trapeze
At first you’ll fall, but then
A year from now, you’ll do it with ease
Over and over and over and over again
To reach the top you gotta keep trying
Over and over and over and over
And over and over again
Over and over again

Mirador


Mirador
Composer(s): David Hallyday; Étienne Roda-Gil
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



C'est la nuit
Dans le quartier des fous
Les matons
Ont tiré les verrous
Sur des tueurs
Des voleurs de cachous
Des flambeurs
Des tatoués et des loulous

La liberté
Faut la payer
Et on enterre nos corps
Sous le mirador...

La liberté
Faut la rêver
Quand on promène nos corps
Sous le mirador...

C'est la nuit
Mais c'est pas le Pérou
Y a des prisons
A ciel ouvert partout

Il n'y a pas d'écoles
Pour apprendre à aimer
Il n'y a pas d'écoles
Pour apprendre à tuer

Sûr qu'on a des doutes
Et qu'on a des problèmes
Du fond du trou
On peut plus dire, je t'aime

La chance ici
S'appelle plus la veine
La veine ici
C'est bien fini
Le cœur se bat sans bruit

C'est pas le Pérou
Mais faut rêver
Quand on promène nos corps
Sous le mirador

La liberté
Faut la payer
Quand on enterre nos corps
Sous le mirador

And I was a little bit late
She would a-wait and a-wait and a-wait and a-wait
For her steady date
She would a-wait and a-wait and a-wait and a-wait
For her steady date
She would a-wait and a-wait and a-wait and a-wait
For her steady date

Ah-mmm, ah-mmm, ah-mmm, ah-mmm

Miracles


Miracles
Composer(s): Marty Balin
Originally performed by: Jefferson Starship



If only you believe like I believe, baby
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would I
If only you believe like I believe, baby
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would I

I might have to move heaven and earth to prove
It to you, baby
So we're makin' love and you feel the power
And I feel the power
Then there's really nothing that we can't do
If we wanted to, baby
We could exist on the stars
It'd be so easy
All we gotta do
Is get a little faith in you
Oh, I've been (to) so many places
I've seen some things
I know, love is the answer
Keeps holding this world together
Ain't nothing better
Ain't nothing better
And all the answers to our prayers
Hell , it's the same everywheres, baby
Nothing ever breaks up the heart
Only tears give you away
Then you're right where I found ya
With my arms around ya
Oh baby, baby, baby, love is a magic word, yeah
Few ever find in a lifetime
But from that very first look in your eyes
I knew you and I had but one heart
Only our bodies were apart
That was so easy, so easy
I had a taste of the real world
When I went down on you, girl

If only you believe like I believe, baby
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would I
If only you believe like I believe, baby
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would I

I can hear windmills and rainbows
Whenever you're talkin' to me
I feel like swirling and dancin'
Whenever you're walking with me
You ripple like a river when I touch you
When I pluck your body like a string
When I start dancin' inside ya
Oh baby, you make me wanna sing
Yeah, baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh yeah, all right
Baby, we're sure doin' it tonight
Everytime you come by, let me try
Pretty, please sugar on it
That's how I like it
I can't even believe it, with you
It's like having every dream I ever wanted
Come true
I picked up your vibes
You know it opened my eyes
But I'm still dreamin' yeah
And you're right where I found ya
With my arms around ya

Refrain (2x)

Over And Over
French & Italian Titles:
Roule S'Enroule; Gira Rigira
Composer(s): Chapman; Fennell;
Michael Jourdan; George Petsilas
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri



I never dared to reach for the moon
I never thought I’d know heaven so soon
I couldn’t hope to say how I feel
The joy in my heart no words can reveal

Chorus
Over and over I whisper your name
Over and over I kiss you again
I see the light of love in your eyes
Love is for ever, no more goodbyes

Now just a memory the tears that I cried
Now just a memory the sighs that I sighed
Dreams that I cherished all have come true
All my tomorrows I give to you

Chorus

Life’s summer leaves may turn to gold
The love that we share will never grow old
Here in your arms the world’s far away
Here in your arms for ever I’ll stay

Chorus

Miracle Of The Rosary
Composer(s): Lee Denson
Performer(s): Elvis Presley; James Kilbane



Oh blessed mother we pray to thee
Thanks for the miracle of your rosary
Only you can hold back
Your holy son's hand
Long enough for the whole world to understand

Hail, Mary full of grace
The Lord is with thee
Blessed are thou among women
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus
Oh holy Mary dear mother of God
Please pray for us sinners
Now and at the hour of our death
And give thanks once again
For the miracle of your rosary

Ouvre-Moi La Porte


Ouvre-Moi La Porte
Composer(s): J. Demarny; E. Angulo Macias
Performer(s): Enrico Macias



{Refrain:}
Ouvre-moi la porte toi qui as la clef
De la grande école du monde
Ce n'est pas facile de te faire entrer
Mais je vais quand même essayer

Tu devras d'abord choisir un bon métier
Et le faire avec passion
Vivre avec les gens, apprendre à les aimer
Sans te faire trop d'illusions
Protéger la vie de l'arbre et du ruisseau
Te faire des amis parmi les animaux
Vivre dans l'espoir et chanter quand il pleut
Alors tu seras heureux

{Refrain}

Tu seras soldat non pas pour faire la guerre
Du moins j'ose l'espérer
Quand tu t'en iras, je suis sûr que ta mère
Se cachera pour pleurer
Tu découvriras qu'il y a sur la terre
Deux hommes sur trois qui sont dans la misère
Libre de partir, tu verras mon petit
Que rien ne vaut ton pays

{Refrain}

A tous les instants il te faudra choisir
Entre le bien et le mal
Tu auras souvent l'occasion de souffrir
Et d'oublier c'est normal
Alors c'est l'amour que tu rencontreras
Ce sont des beaux jours tu sais que ces jours-là
Et puis un enfant qui te fera vieillir
Tendrement viendra te dire

Miracle Of Love


Miracle Of Love
Composer(s): Bob Merrill
Performer(s): Eileen Rodgers



A whippoorwill awakens
And she tells the golden morn
That while the world was sleeping
Some new whippoorwills were born
Showing the lark and the dove
Another miracle of love
A bee begins a buzzin'
Makin' honey out of dew
And roses by the dozen
Bloom where flowers never grew
Warmed by the sun from above
Another miracle of love
Yes, I believe in miracles
That miracles come true
Dear, I believe in miracles
Just look at me and you
Two strangers in the morning
Then two friends this afternoon
Now strangers in the morning
Are two sweethearts 'neath the moon
Close as a hand in a glove
Another miracle of love

Ouverts Ou Fermés


Ouverts Ou Fermés
Composer(s): Françoise Hardy; Orchs
Performer(s): Françoise Hardy



Ouverts ou fermés mes yeux ne voient que toi
vide ou occupée ma tête ne pense qu'à toi

à vivre prisonnier mon cœur n'aime que toi
seule à en pleurer car je ne veux que toi

ouverts ou fermés tes yeux ne me voient pas
vide plus qu'occupée ta tête ne pense pas
insouciant, léger ton cœur s'en vient, s'en va
trop sollicité qu'as-tu à faire de moi?

et qu'ai-je à faire de tout si c'est pour moi
tout ça et qu'ai-je fait de tout si ce n'est pas pour nous?

tu dois t'en douter mais au fond, tu t'en fous
ouverts ou fermés mes yeux ne voient partout
qu'à vivre prisonnier mon cœur devenu fou
cherche sans trouver quelqu'un qui te ressemble
