Fini La Comédie


Fini La Comédie
Composer(s): James "Cookie" Palmer; Karel Ricanek;
Angelo La Bionda; Carmelo La Bionda; Pierre Delanoë
Performer(s): Dalida



C'est fini, c'est fini la comédie
Tout avait commencé comme une pièce à succès
Dans le décor tout bleu d'un théâtre de banlieue
Nous n'étions que nous deux

On s'est aimé longtemps au point d'oublier le temps
Qui tout au long des scènes transformait les joies en peine
Il a gagné le temps, il est content
Quand il nous voit chacun de son côté comme des étrangers
Nous n'avons plus en commun que les mots quotidiens
Le décor n'a pas changé mais les acteurs n'ont rien à jouer
Il faut baisser le rideau

C'est fini, c'est fini la comédie
On était bien parti éternité garantie
On était seuls au monde devant nous la route longue
Pas de sens interdit

Il a gagné le temps, il est content
Quand il nous voit chacun de son côté comme des étrangers
Nous n'avons plus en commun que les mots quotidiens
Le décor n'a pas changé mais les acteurs n'ont rien à jouer
Il faut baisser le rideau

C'est fini, c'est fini la comédie
Tout avait commencé comme une pièce à succès
Dans le décor tout bleu d'un théâtre de banlieue
Nous n'étions que nous deux
C'est fini
C'est fini la comédie

The Charm Of You


The Charm Of You
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Jule Styne
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists



The charm of you is comparable to a Christmas tree with toys
With little girls and boys when first they see the tree
The thrill of you is comparable to the thrill I felt
when I first learned the heart could sigh
And you were the reason why, and yet, and yet if we two have never met
I'd know your grace that warms a face that only the angels get, and
So comparing you with all of these things, is all that I can do
Because they add up to the charm of you

So comparing you with all of these things, is all that I can do
Because they add up to the charm of you

Cantar, Cantar, Cantar


Cantar, Cantar, Cantar
Composer(s): J. Ordaz Aguilera
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



¡Qué bueno ha sido regresar a la cosecha
después que el tiempo mejoró las madrugadas!
¡Qué bueno ha sido el despertar
sobre la almohada que soñé
cuando el amor y la canción nos esperaban
Hay que cantarle un homenaje a la sonrisa
de aquel ancestro soñador que, en la garganta
dejó su pétalo mejor
para que hiciera florecer, alguna vez
el corazón y la esperanza

Cantar, cantar, cantar
con la necesidad de la primera vez
Cantar, cantar, cantar
para llegar a ser
como una sola voz

Cuando sabe a realidad la maravilla
de aventurarse a ser canción y a ser guitarra
late la prisa por amar
y el corazón se vuelve un mágico volcán
que arranca el grito de esperanza
Cantar, cantar, cantar
con la necesidad de la primera vez
Cantar, cantar, cantar
para llegar a ser
como una sola voz
Cantar, cantar, cantar
con la necesidad de la primera vez

Cantar, cantar, cantar
para llegar a ser
como una sola voz

Cantando No Toro


Cantando No Toro
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Sambando na lama de sapato branco, glorioso
Um grande artista tem que dar o tom
Quase rodando, caindo de boca
A voz é rouca mas o mote é bom
Sambando na lama e causando frisson

Mas olha só
Um samba de cócoras em terra de sapo
Sapateando no toró

Cantando e sambando na lama de sapato branco, glorioso
Um grande artista tem que dar lição
Quase rodando, caindo de boca
Mas com um pouco de imaginação
Sambando na lama sem tocar o chão

E o tal ditado, como é?
Festa acabada, músicos a pé
Músicos a pé, músicos a pé
Músicos a pé

Sambando na lama de sapato branco, glorioso
Um grande artista tem fazer fé
Quase rodando, caindo de boca
Aba de touca, jura de mulher
Sambando na lama e passando o boné

Mas olha só
Por fora filó, filó
Por dentro, molambo
Cambaleando no toró

Cantando e sambando na lama de sapato branco, glorioso
Um grande artista tem que dar o que tem e o que não tem
Tocando a bola no segundo tempo
Atrás de tempo, sempre tempo vem
Sambando na lama, amigo, e tudo bem

E o tal ditado, como é?
Festa acabada, músicos a pé
Músicos a pé, músicos a pé
Músicos a pé

Sambando na lama de sapato branco, glorioso
Um grande artista tem que estar feliz
Sambando na lama de salvando o verniz

Mas olha só
Em terra de sapo, sambando de cócoras
Sapateando no toró

Cantando e sambando na lama de sapato branco, glorioso
Um grande artista tem que estar tranchã
Sambando na lama, amigo, até amanhã

E o tal ditado, como é?
Festa acabada, músicos a pé
Músicos a pé, músicos a pé
Músicos a pé

The Chamber Of 32 Doors


The Chamber Of 32 Doors
Composer(s): Mike Rutherford - Peter Gabriel - Phil Collins - Steve Hackett - Tony Banks
Performer(s): Genesis



At the top of the stairs, their's hundreds of people
running around to all the doors
They try to find themselves an audience
their deductions need applause

The rich man stands in front of me
The poor man behind my back
They believe they can control the game
but the juggler holds another pack

I need someone to believe in, someone to trust
I need someone to believe in, someone to trust

I'd rather trust a countryman than a townman
You can judge by his eyes, take a look if you can
He'll smile through his guard
Survival trains hard
I'd rather trust a man who works with his hands
He looks at you once, you know he understands
Don't need any shield
When you're out in the field

But down here
I'm so alone with my fear
With everything that I hear
And every single door, that I've walked through
Brings me back here again
I've got to find my own way

The priest and the magician
Singing all the chants that they have ever heard
They're all calling out my name
Even academics, searching printed word

My father to the left of me
My mother to the right
Like everyone else they'er pointing
But nowhere feels quite right

And I need someone to believe in, someone to trust
I need someone to believe in, someone to trust

I'd rather trust a man who doesn't shout what he's found
There's no need to sell if you're homeward bound
If I chose a side
He won't take me for a ride

Back inside
This chamber of so many doors
I've nowhere to hide
I'd give you all of my dreams, if you'd help me
Find a door
That doesn't lead me back again - take me away

Canta, Canta, Canta Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez and multiple other artists



Te voy a dedicar otra canción
a ver si me devuelves tu cariño
ya vengo de rezar otra oración
a ver si se compone mi destino

Acuerdate que siempre te adoré
no dejes que me pierda en mi pobreza
ya todo lo que tuve se me fue
si tú también te vas me lleva la tristeza
no dejes que me muera por tu amor
si tienes corazón enseñalo y regresa

(Canta, canta, canta
que tu dicha es tanta
que hasta Dios te adora)

canta, canta, canta
palomita blanca
mientras mi alma llora

Si quieres que me arranque el corazón
y pongo junto a ti mis sentimientos
espera a que termine mi canción
tú sabes que yo cumplo un juramente

Acuerdate que siempre te adoré
no dejes que me pierda en mi pobreza
ya todo lo que tuve se me fue
si tú también te vas me lleva la tristeza
no dejes que me muera por tu amor
si tienes corazón enseñalo y regresa

(Canta, canta, canta
que tu dicha es tanta
que hasta Dios te adora)

canta, canta, canta
palomita blanca
mientras mi alma llora

Fingerprint File


Fingerprint File
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones



Fingerprint file, you get me down
You keep me running
Know my way around
Yes, you do, child
Fingerprint file, you bring me down
Keep me running
You keep me on the ground
Know my moves
Way ahead of time
Listening to me
On your satellite

Feeling followed
Feeling tagged
Crossing water
Trying to wipe my tracks

And there's some little jerk in the FBI
A keepin' papers on me six feet high
It gets me down, it gets me down, it gets me down

You better watch out
On your telephone
Wrong number
They know you ain't home

And there's some little jerk in the FBI
A keepin' papers on me six feet high
It gets me down, it gets me down, it gets me down

Who's the man on the corner; that corner over there
I don't know
Well, you better lay low
Watch out

Keep on the look out
Electric eyes
Rats on the sell out
Who gonna testify
You know my habits
Way a head of time
Listening to me
On your satellite

And there's some little jerk in the FBI
A keepin' papers on me six feet high
It gets me down, it gets me down, it gets me down
It gets me down

Hello, baby, mm-hmm
Ah, yeah, you know we ain't, we ain't talkin' alone
Who's listening?
Well I don't really know
But you better tell the SIS to keep out of sight
'Cause I know they takin' pictures on the ultraviolet light
Yes, uh huh, yeah, but these days it's all secrecy; no privacy
Shoot first, that' s right... you know
Bye bye
Right now somebody is listening to...... you
Keeping their eyes peeled...... on you
Mmm, mmm, what a price, what a price to pay
All right
Good night, sleep tight

The Chain


The Chain
Composer(s): Lindsey Buckingham - Stevie Nicks - John McVie - Christine McVie - Mick Fleetwood
First release by: Fleetwood Mac - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists



Listen to the wind blow
Watch the sun rise

Run in the shadows
Damn your love
Damn your lies

And if
You don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain

List to the wind blow
Down comes the night

Run in the shadows
Damn your love
Damn your lies

Break the silence
Damn the dark
Damn the light

And if
You don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain

Canta Ragazzina


Canta Ragazzina Composer(s): Labati Donida - Iller Pattacini - Claudio Pepperdrini Performer(s): Bobby Solo; Connie Francis; Mina



Tu sei come me
quando ero un bambino
sei bella e non sai
tutto quello che hai

Canta ragazzina
che il giorno dura solo poche ore
e quando arriva sera puoi scoprire
che il sole se n'è andato e resti tu

Canta ragazzina
e non fermarti a piangere o a pensare
che tanto tutto passa anche l'amore
Ed alla fine resti solo tu
non fare come me
non fare come me
che oramai non vivo più

Un giorno vale una anno
e la vita vale un attimo
ti svegli un mattino
e ti trovi già donna

Canta ragazzina
che il giorno dura solo poche ore
e quando arriva sera puoi scoprire
che il sole se n'è andato e resti tu

Canta ragazzina
e non fermarti a piangere o a pensare
che tanto tutto passa anche l'amore
Ed alla fine resti solo tu
non fare come me
non fare come me
che oramai non vivo più

The Ceremony


The Ceremony
Composer(s): Billy Sherrill - Jenny Strickland - Carmol Taylor
Performer(s): Tammy Wynette & George Jones



(man speaks):
Dearly beloved, we are gathered together
In the presence of God, and these witnesses
To join this man and this woman in the bonds
Of holy matrimony

Do you Tammy, take this man, George
To be your lawfully wedded husband
To love and to cherish until death do you part?

(T.W.) sings:
I'll take this man and by him I'll stand
I promise that we'll never part
To him, I'll be true
There'll be no one new
From now, till death do us part

(man speaks):
And do you, George, take this woman, Tammy
To be your lawfully wedded wife
To love and to cherish, until death do you part?

(G.J.):
Yes I'll take this woman
She'll be mine forever
And I'll love her, with all of my heart

To have and to hold
My love won't grow cold
I promise, till death do us part

(both sing):
We'll take each other
From this day forward
Together, in sickness or health

United with love
We'll face life together
If we're poor or if we have wealth

For better or worst
You'll always come first
And no one can keep us apart

Yes, we take each other
Forsaking all others
Together, till death do us part

(man speaks):
I now pronounce you, man and wife

Baptized by the song that you're singing

Finestra Chiusa


Finestra Chiusa
Composer(s): Renee Bracchi; D'Anzi
Performer(s): Carlo Buti



Perchè m’hai fatto piangere?
Perché non m’ami più?
Lo so che le mie lacrime
ti fan sorridere, l’hai detto tu
Perché tu non vuoi credere
che non so vivere lontan da te?

Finestra chiusa al mio cuore innamorato
Questa notte son tornato per restar vicino a te
Finestra chiusa senza luce e senza amor
Se fai piangere il muio cuor tu non hai pietà di me

Ritorna ancora! Ma tu non mi ascolti più
Ritorna ancora senza te non vivo più!
Finestra chiusa forse un vento di follia
si portò la donna mia e non la vedrò mai più

Lo so ti debbo perdere
lo so ma nel mio cuor
l’amor non posso uccidere
mi devi credere, non so mentir
Così non posso vivere
e debbo piangere per non morir

The Cat Crept In


The Cat Crept In
Composer(s): Mike Chapman - Nicky Chinn
Performer(s): Mud



I said hey you guys, look who's waiting outside
Well she's got style you can see it in her feline eyes
When she starts moving you sure can tell
When she starts shaking she's raising hell
I said hey you guys, look who's waiting ouside

You remember how she left that floor on a Saturday night
The cat's footloose and she darned near started a fight
Well she may have been flashing like a neon sign
But you can't touch her 'cos she's mine all mine
I said hey you guys, look who's waiting outside
Let her in!

And then the cat crept in swinging her tail
And then the cat crept in swinging her tail
Just open up the door to that high heeled paw
I said the cat crept in, we crept out again
I said the cat crept in, and we crept out again

I said hey you guys, can you hear that alley cat cry
She aint superstitious but she's hanging on to life number nine
Well you may not show it but she hides in the light
And she may not show it but this cat can bite
I said hey you guys, look who's waiting outside
Let her in!

And then the cat crept in swinging her tail
And then the cat crept in swinging her tail
Just open up the door to that high heeled paw
I said the cat crept in, we crept out again
I said the cat crept in, and we crept out again

Well she's got style you can see it in her feline eyes
Well she may have been flashing like a neon sign
But you can't touch her 'cos she's mine all mine
I said hey you guys, look who's waiting outside
Okay, let her in!

And then the cat crept in swinging her tail
And then the cat crept in swinging her tail
Just open up the door to that high heeled paw
I said the cat crept in, we crept out again
I said the cat crept in, and we crept out again...

Canta! ¡Canta!
Canta gallito
gallito de madrugada
¡Canta! ¡Canta!
Canta gallito
gallito de madrugada
¡Canta! ¡Canta!
Canta gallito
despierta a mi bien amada
¡Cantal ¡Canta!
Dile que al alba

¡Canta! ¡Canta!
Canta gallito
gallito de madrugada
¡Antes que cantes los gallos!
Compartiré sus almohadas
Gallito de madrugada
que estás velando su sueño
despierta y dile al oido
que soy el único dueño!
¡Canta! ¡Canta!
Canta el gallo
negro gallo enamorado
Y la gallinita blanca
miraba para otro lado
El gallo negro muy gallo
no se iba achicar por eso
en cuanto se descuidó
le encajó en el pico un beso!
¡Canta! ¡Canta!
Canta gallito
gallito de madrugada
La gallinita ya puso
un huevo de enamorada
Gallito cantor del alba
no cantes a medianoche
canta el gallo con la luna
y viene la muerte en coche
¡Canta! ¡Canta!
Canta gallito
gallito del mundo entero
que no canten los cañones
¡Que es un canto traicionero!
¡Canta! ¡Cantal
Canta gallito
alerta a mi bien amada
Que andan sueltos por el campo
los gallos que nos picaban
¡Canta! ¡Canta!
Canta gallito
canta gallo compañero
¡Los gallos que no son gallos
andan por el gallinero!
Gallito de la montaña
gallito de monte y río
que no se callen los gallos
que canten el canto mío

Fine On My Mind


Fine On My Mind
Composer(s): Jerry Reed
Performer(s): Jerry Reed



Well girl you're fine on my mind all the time
Fine on my mind all the time
I never met a woman quite like you
And all the sweet things you do

Stay fine on my mind all the time

My papa said someday boy true love's gonna come your way
Someday some woman's gonna love you right out of your mind
You'll lose your appetite and won't be able to sleep at night
For thinkin' bout some woman all the time

Well girl you're fine...

Well if papa could just see me
Lord I know how tickled he'd be
To know some woman got me talkin' to myself
And it's been like this since it came first time we kissed
I can't seem to think about nothin' else

Yes girl you're fine...

The Cat Came Back (Rowlf)


The Cat Came Back
Performer(s): Rowlf



Little Bennie had a cat that they wouldn't let him keep
So he put her up for sale at a price he thought was cheap
He took her to a neighbor to ask him for advice
He said, "Leave the kitty here
She can help me with the mice"

But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away
She was sitting on the porch the very next day
The cat came back, she didn't want to roam
The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home

Then Bennie met a man who was driving way out West
He would take the cat along as a special honored guest
The steering wheel was wobbly, he drove into a tree
The car was just a total wreck as anyone could see

But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away
She was sitting on the porch the very next day
The cat came back, she didn't want to roam
The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home

So Bennie bought a gun from the Human Cannonball
He put the cat inside with Tri-Nitro Toluol
When he pulled the trigger, the cannon made a roar
The neighbors all surrendered 'cause they thought it was a war

But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away
She was sitting on the porch the very next day
The cat came back, she didn't want to roam
The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home

Then Bennie gave the cat to a man who had a bomb
When he took the cat away, she was acting cool and calm
And then the bomb exploded, it made an awful sound
They searched and searched for ages but the man was never found

But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away
She was sitting on the porch the very next day
The cat came back, she didn't want to roam
The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home
