Georgette


Georgette
Composer(s): Lew Brown; Ray Henderson
Performer(s): Ted Lewis



Right across the way from me in apartment forty three
every night I always see such a funny pair
he's a bashful Romeo and she loves to tease him so he sighs
oh! how he cries each time she rolls her eyes

Every night it's just the same and I think that it's a shame
cause she plays the same old game but he doesn't care
when he starts to fuss and pout she just tries to put him out
he's sore, gets to the door and then he sings once more

Georgette, Georgette, I'm as wild as can be
I'm all upset 'cause you're teasing me
My ma, my pa, my whole family they scold me
they told me you've got a kick like T.N.T.
I eat, I sleep, but not like I should
Oh! me, Oh! my, why can't you be good?
Once I was gentle and meek now I'm as wild as the Sheik
I'll get you yet, Georgette

Love, love will keep us together
Think of me babe whenever
Some sweet talking guy comes along singing his song
Don't mess around
You got to be strong
Just Stop, 'cause I really love You
Stop, I'll be thinking of you
Look in my heart and let love keep us together

You, You belong to me now
Ain't gonna set you free now
When those guys start hanging around talking me down
Hear with your heart and you won't hear a sound
Just Stop, 'cause I really love you
Stop, I'll be thinking of you
Look in my heart and let love keep us together

Whatever young and beautiful
Someday your looks will be gone
When the others turn you off
Who'll be turning you on

I will, I will, I will, I will
Be there to share forever
Love will keep us together
Said it before and I'll say it again while others pretend
I'll need you now and I'll need you then
Stop 'cause I really love Ya
Stop I'll be thinking of Ya
Look in my heart and let love keep us together

Mon amant me délaisse
O gai! vive la rose!
Je ne sais pas pourquoi

Vive la rose et le lilas

Il va-t-en voir une autre
O gai! vive la rose!
Qu'est plus riche que moi

O gai vive la rose!
Je n'en disconviens pas .....
On dit qu'elle est malade

Peut-être elle en mourra ...

Mais si elle meurt dimanche
O gai! vive la rose!
Lundi on l'enterrera ...

Mardi il r'viendra m'voir
O gai! vive la rose!
Mais je n'en voudrai pas
Vive la rose et le lilas!
Mais je n'en voudrai pas
Vive la rose et le lilas!

George Jackson


George Jackson
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Bob Dylan;
and various other artists



I woke up this mornin'
There were tears in my bed
They killed a man I really loved
Shot him through the head
Lord, Lord
They cut George Jackson down
Lord, Lord
They laid him in the ground

Sent him off to prison
For a seventy-dollar robbery
Closed the door behind him
And they threw away the key
Lord, Lord
They cut George Jackson down
Lord, Lord
They laid him in the ground

He wouldn't take shit from no one
He wouldn't bow down or kneel
Authorities, they hated him
Because he was just too real
Lord, Lord
They cut George Jackson down
Lord, Lord
They laid him in the ground

Prison guards, they cursed him
As they watched him from above
But they were frightened of his power
They were scared of his love
Lord, Lord
So they cut George Jackson down
Lord, Lord
They laid him in the ground

Sometimes I think this whole world
Is one big prison yard
Some of us are prisoners
The rest of us are guards
Lord, Lord
They cut George Jackson down
Lord, Lord
They laid him in the ground

Pierdo El Control

((Adapted from: Love Will Keep Us Together (Neil Sedaka) - 1973))
((Dutch Versions: Jij (Lisa Del Bo) - 2004; Wij Blijven Samen (Nicole & Hugo) - 2008))
Composer(s): Neil Sedaka - Howard Greenfield - Isabel Lascurain
Performer(s): Pandora - 1992



No, no me pongas nerviosa
deja de mirar mis labios
no te acerques, pierdo el control
siento calor
quiero escapar
más tus brazos me atrapan

¡No! tu risa me encanta
¡no! tu mirar me mata
no fales más portugués
me desbarata

Tú, tú empezaste el fuego
todo un Valentino
sabes cómo
ven a cenar, luego a bailar
y abrazaditos cantarme al oído
y no ...

Noches mágicas
llenas de risa y sabor
dos amantes, seducción
inventando el amor

Por tí, haría cualquier locura
pierdo toda cordura

Sé cómo fue, lo sé
fue tu calor, todo tu olor
luego ese beso
que me hizo decir que sí
tu risa me encanta, sí
tu mirar me encanta, sí
tu mirar me mata
me fala más portugués
me desbaratas, me encantas

Mon Amant De Saint-Jean


Mon Amant De Saint-Jean
Composer(s): Léon Agel; Emile Carrara
Originally performed by: Lucienne Delyle



Je ne sais pourquoi j'allais danser
À Saint-Jean au musette
Mais quand un gars m'a pris un baiser
J'ai frissonné, j'étais chipée
Comment ne pas perdre la tête
Serrée par des bras audacieux
Car l'on croit toujours
Aux doux mots d'amour
Quand ils sont dits avec les yeux
Moi qui l'aimais tant
Je le trouvais le plus beau de Saint-Jean
Je restais grisée
Sans volonté
Sous ses baisers

Sans plus réfléchir, je lui donnais
Le meilleur de mon être
Beau parleur chaque fois qu'il mentait
Je le savais, mais je l'aimais
Comment ne pas perdre la tête
Serrée par des bras audacieux
Car l'on croit toujours
Aux doux mots d'amour
Quand ils sont dits avec les yeux
Moi qui l'aimais tant
Je le trouvais le plus beau de Saint-Jean
Je restais grisée
Sans volonté
Sous ses baisers

Mais hélas, à Saint-Jean comme ailleurs
Un serment n'est qu'un leurre
J'étais folle de croire au bonheur
Et de vouloir garder son cœur
Comment ne pas perdre la tête
Serrée par des bras audacieux
Car l'on croit toujours
Aux doux mots d'amour
Quand ils sont dits avec les yeux
Moi qui l'aimais tant
Mon bel amour, mon amant de Saint-Jean
Il ne m'aime plus
C'est du passé
N'en parlons plus

I Think I'm Going To Kill Myself


I Think I'm Going To Kill Myself
Composer(s): Bernie Taupin - Elton John
Performer(s): Elton John



I'm getting bored
Being part of mankind
There's not a lot to do no more
This race is a waste of time

People rushing everywhere
Swarming around like flies
Think I'll buy a forty four
Give them all a surprise

Think I'm gonna kill myself
'Cause a little suicide
Stick around for a couple of days
What a scandal if I died

Yeah I'm gonna kill myself
Get a little headline news
I'd like to see what the papers say
On the state of teenage blues

A rift in my family
I can't use the car
I gotta be in by ten o'clock
Who do they think they are

I'd make an exception
If you want to save my life
Brigitte Bardot gotta come
And see me every night

Mon Amant De La Coloniale


Mon Amant De La Coloniale
Composer(s): Raymond Asso; Robert Juel
Performer(s): Édith Piaf



Il était fort et puis si tendre
Que, dès notre première nuit
Je sentais que je ne pourrais plus me reprendre
Et pour toujours, j'étais à lui
Je voyais toutes les femmes lui sourire
Moi, je me cramponnais à son bras
Et je les regardais comme pour leur dire
"Il est à moi, et je l'lâche pas!"

C'était un gars de la Coloniale
Il avait là, partant du front
Et descendant jusqu'au menton
Une cicatrice en diagonale
Des cheveux noirs, des yeux si pâles
La peau brûlée par le soleil
J'en ai plus jamais vu de pareils
A mon amant de la Coloniale

Des fois, quand il avait la fièvre
Il parlait trop et j'avais peur
Je mettais la main sur ses lèvres
Pour pas connaître le fond de son cœur
Car je sentais que, dans son âme
Y avait des larmes et du cafard
Longtemps, j'ai cru que c'était une femme
Quand j'ai compris, c'était trop tard...

Lorsque j'ai connu ma rivale
Alors j'ai serré fort mes bras
Pour que cette grande garce de la Coloniale
Lui foute la paix et ne me le vole pas
Et lui, il m'avait dit: "Je reste"
Mais un beau jour, il est reparti
Vers ce pays que je déteste
Dont il rêvait souvent la nuit

C'était un gars de la Coloniale
Il portait là, partant du front
Et descendant jusqu'au menton
Une cicatrice en diagonale
Je reverrai plus ses beaux yeux pâles
Ses yeux qui n'ont pas leur pareil
Il est reparti vers son soleil
Mon bel amant de la Coloniale...

Geordie


Geordie
Composer(s): Fabrizio de André
Performer(s): Fabrizio de André



Uomo

Mentre attraversavo London Bridge
un giorno senza sole
vidi una donna pianger d'amore
piangeva per il suo Geordie

Donna

Impiccheranno Geordie con una corda d'oro
è un privilegio raro
Rubò sei cervi nel parco del re
vendendoli per denaro

Uomo

Sellate il suo cavallo dalla bianca criniera
sellatele il suo pony
cavalcherà fino a Londra stasera
ad implorare per Geordie

Donna

Geordie non rubò mai neppure per me
un frutto o un fiore raro
Rubò sei cervi nel parco del re
vendendoli per denaro

Insieme

Salvate le sue labbra, salvate il suo sorriso
non ha vent'anni ancora
cadrà l'inverno anche sopra il suo viso
potrete impiccarlo allora

Uomo

Nè il cuore degli inglesi nè lo scettro del re
Geordie potran salvare
anche se piangeran con te
la legge non può cambiare

Insieme

Così lo impiccheranno con una corda d'oro
è un privilegio raro

Uomo

Rubò sei cervi nel parco del re
vendendoli per denaro

Love Will Keep Us Alive


Love Will Keep Us Alive
Composer(s): Jim Capaldi - Paul Carrack - Peter Vale
Performer(s): Eagles
and multiple other artists



I was standing
All alone against the world outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now you given me the will to survive
When we're hungry ... love will keep us alive

Don't you worry
Sometimes you've just gotta let it ride
The world is changing
Right before your eyes
Now I've found you
There's no more emptiness inside
When we're hungry ... love will keep us alive

I would die for you
Climb the highest mountain
Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do

Now I've found you
There's no more emptiness inside
When we're hungry ... love will keep us alive

I would die for you
Climb the highest mountain
Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do

I was standing
All alone against the world outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now you given me the will to survive
When we're hungry ... love will keep us alive
When we're hungry ... love will keep us alive
When we're hungry ... love will keep us alive

Mon alezan
Tout en blanc et couvert d'ailes
Bien trop frêles
Mon alezan
Tout en blanc, cheval volant
Qui s'éléve
Qui s'éléve
Sur les grèves
Sur les grèves
Comme un rêve
Sur tes lèvres...

Mon alezan
Mon alezan
Cheval volant
Evadé
Du sable blanc
D'un été
Dès demain
T'emportera
Jusqu'à l'orient

Mon alezan
Tout en blanc et bien plus fier
Qu'Artaban
Mon alezan
Tout en blanc, a vraiment l'air
Plus sauvage, plus sauvage
Qu'un nuage
Qu'un nuage
Dans l'azur
Pas trés pur

Mon alezan
Mon alezan
Cheval volant
Evadé
Du sable blanc
D'un été
Dès demain
T'emportera
Jusqu'à l'orient

Mon alezan
Tout en blanc, est aussi calme
Que ton âme
Mon alezan
Tout en blanc a le cœur bien
Plus fragile
Plus fragile
Qu'un sourire
Qu'un sourire
Accroché
Dans tes cils

Mon alezan
Mon alezan
Cheval volant
Evadé
Du sable blanc
D'un été
Dès demain
T'emportera
Jusqu'à l'orient

Geometriquement Tien


Geometriquement Tien
Composer(s): Léo Ferré
Performer(s): Léo Ferré



Ton corps est comme un vase clos
J'y pressens parfois une jarre
Comme engloutie au fond des eaux
Et qui attend des nageurs rares
Tes bijoux ton blé ton vouloir
Le plan de tes folles prairies
Mon squale qui viendra te voir
Du fond de moi si tu l'en pries

Un herbe douce comme un lit
Un lit de taffetas de carne
Une source dans le midi
Quand l'ombre glisse et me décharne
Un sentiment de rémission
Devant ta violette de Parme
Me voilà soumis comme un pion
Sur l'échiquier que ta main charme

Mon organe qui fait ta voix
Mon pardessus sur ta bronchite
Mon alphabet pour que tu croies
Que je suis là quand je te quitte
Ma symphonie dans ton jardin
La mer dans ta rivière close
L'aigre parfum de mon destin
Sur le delta d'où fuit ta rose

L'odeur canaille de ta peau
Tendue comme un arc vers sa cible
Quand pointe de mes oripeaux
Le point de mire inaccessible
Du feu pour le bel incendie
Que j'allumerai à ta forge
Cette nuit puisque tu me dis
Que ça te remonte à la gorge

Et moi qui ne suis pas régent
De tes propriétés câlines
J'irai comme l'apôtre Jean
Dormir un peu sur ta poitrine
J'y verrai des oiseaux de nuit
Et leurs géométriques ailes
Ne pourront dessiner l'ennui
Dont se meurent les parallèles

Love Will Find A Way (Sam Cooke)


Love Will Find A Way
Composer(s): Sam Cooke
Performer(s): Sam Cooke



(If love wants to travel to your heart, love will find a way)

I tell you, no, no mountain is too high and no peak too high to climb
And no, no place is too remote for true love to find
I know no, no river is too wide, no matter what people say
Lord, if love wants to travel to your heart, love will find a way

Oh the mountains, oh the valleys, oh the streams love would climb
Seekin' a place in your heart
If there are two people love wants to combine
Nothin' can keep them apart

I know that no, no river is too wide, no matter what people say
If love wants to travel to your heart, love will find a way
I know that if love wants to travel to your heart, love will find a way

Non Charlie
Ne me fais plus attendre encore
Viens vite à la maison
Aujourd'hui
Je crois que c'est toi le plus fort
Pour les réparations
Je t'en supplie...

Mon aéroplane...
Depuis ton départ est en panne...
Et pour toucher le ciel je n'ai plus, je n'ai plus
Que des nuages artificiels
Mon aéroplane...
Depuis ton départ est en panne...
Et pour toucher le ciel j'ai besoin, j'ai besoin
Que tu me prêtes tes ailes

Il y aura
Du thé de Chine et du réglisse
Et puis du chocolat
Tu verras
Nous irons plus au quai jadis
Mais viens vite chez moi
Je t'en supplie...

Mon aéroplane...
Depuis ton départ est en panne...
Et pour toucher le ciel je n'ai plus, je n'ai plus
Que des nuages artificiels
Mon aéroplane...
Depuis ton départ est en panne...
Et pour toucher le ciel j'ai besoin, j'ai besoin
Que tu me prêtes tes ailes

Genuine Imitation Life


Genuine Imitation Life
Performer(s): Harry Belafonte; Chad Mitchell



Chameleon changing colors-while a crocodile cries
People rubbing elbows but never touching eyes
Talking off their marks, revealing still another guise
Genuine imitation life

People buying happiness and manufactured fun
Everybody doing what everybody’s done
People count on people who can only count to one
Genuine imitation life

All the pretty clouds are a lovely shade of black
You find the night direction, someone tears up all the track
People worship crosses, fingers cross behind their back
Genuine imitation life
Genuine imitation life

Old friends get together but it’s solitaire they play
Everybody’s rainbow done in different shades of gray
It’s a lovely place to visit but I wouldn’t want to stay
In a genuine imitation life
Genuine imitation life
Genuine imitation life

Love Will Find A Way (Pablo Cruise)


Love Will Find A Way
Composer(s): David Jenkins - Cory Lerios
Performer(s): Pablo Cruise



Someone, someone's got me wrong
You thought that your love was strong
Now you're feelin' like such a fool
Poor you, you're thinkin' maybe if you said goodbye
You'll understand the reason why
The love you had felt so cool um hm

Oh but it's all right
Once you get past the pain
You'll learn to find your love again
So keep your heart open
'Cause love will find a way

Sometimes we all feel a need to change
Our love we have to rearrange
And move on to something new yes you do
Your dreams feel like they're fallin' apart
You need to find a brand new start
But you're almost afraid to be true to yourself

Oh, but it's all right
Once you get past the pain
You'll learn to find your love again
So keep your heart open
'Cause love will find a way

Love will find a way
Love will find a way

So now don't, don't be afraid of yourself
Just move on to something else
And let your love shine thru
Again yes 'cause it's all right
Once you get past the pain
You'll learn to find your love again
So keep your heart open
'Cause love will find a way

Gentleman Cambrioleur

C'est le plus grand des voleurs
Oui, mais c'est un gentleman
Il s'empar' de vos valeurs
Sans vous menacer d'une arm'
Quand il détrouss' une femm'

Gentleman cambrioleur
Est un grand seigneur
Il viens chez vous la nuit
Sans déranger votre sommeil
Il décroche sans bruit
Le tableau acheté la veill'
Puis avant de partir
Après ses coupables travaux
Il laisse un mot sur le piano

C'est le plus grand des voleurs
Oui, mais c'est un gentleman
Et chaque femme à son heure
Rêve de voir son visag'
De l'actrice à la danceuse
Et l'épouse la meilleur'
Gentleman cambrioleur
A gagné le cœur

Love Will Conquer All


Love Will Conquer All
Composer(s): Cynthia Weil - Greg Phillinganes - Lionel Richie
Performer(s): Lionel Richie
and multiple other artists



Here we are
Out here me and you
Reaching out each other
Is all that we can do

Here we stand
Trying not to fall
There's no need to worry
Love will conquer all

Do you really want to know
Just how long love will last
Will all of the bad times pass
How can we make things right

Ooh and why
Why is the world so unkind,
We surely can find peace of mind
If we only see the light, can't we that

Here we are
Out here me and you
Reaching out each other
Is all that we can do

Ooh here we stand
Trying not to fall
There's no need to worry
Love will conquer all

Can somebody tell me why
Why do our dreams go wrong
Why can't we all belong
Ooh, where do we start
Oh and tell me when
When will we ever learn
There's nowhere else we can turn
The truth is in our hearts, here we are together
Sometimes the road gets hard to travel
Sometimes the pains too much to bear
Sometimes when life seems to unravel
That's the time oh - to say
We're gonna make it anyway
Can't we see that

Here we are
Out here me and you
Reaching out each other
Is all that we can do

Here we stand
Trying not to fall
There's no need to worry
Love will conquer all ...
