Rocky Mountain Way


Rocky Mountain Way
Composer(s): Rocke Grace;
Kenny Passarelli; Joe Vitale; Joe Walsh
Performer(s): Joe Walsh;
and various other artists



Spent the last year the Rocky Mountain way
Couldn't get much higher
Out to pasture, I think it's safe to say
It's time to open fire
'Cause we don't need the ladies
Cryin' 'cause the story's sad, oh no
And the Rocky Mountain way
Is better than the way we had

Tellin' us this and tellin' us that
Changin' it day by day
He says it doesn't matter
Bases are loaded and Casey's at bat
Changin' it play by play
It's time to change the batter
'Cause we don't need the ladies
Cryin' 'cause the story's sad, oh no
And the Rocky Mountain way
Is better than the way we had

Spent the last year, the Rocky Mountain way
Couldn't get much higher
Out to pasture, I think it's safe to say
It's time to open fire
'Cause we don't need the ladies
Cryin' 'cause the story's sad, oh no
And the Rocky Mountain way
Is better than the way we had

Rocky Mountain way

Bianca e splendente va la Novia
mentre, nascosto tra la folla
dietro una lacrima indecisa
vedo morir le mie illusioni

La sull'altar lei sta piangendo
Tutti diranno che è di gioia
mentre il suo cuore sta gridando
Ave Maria!

Mentirai perchè
tu dirai di si
Pregherai per me
ma dirai di si

Io so
tu non puoi dimenticare
Non soffrir per me
anima mia

La sull'altar lei sta piangendo
Tutti diranno che è di gioia
mentre il suo cuore sta gridando
Ave Maria!

Ave Maria!
Ave Maria!
Ave Maria!

Comme Un Garçon


Comme Un Garçon
Dutch Title: Net Als Een Jongen
Composer(s): Jean-Jacques Debout; Roger Dumas
First release by: Sylvie Vartan - 1967
Covered by various other artists



Comme un garçon j'ai les cheveux long
Comme un garçon je porte un blouson
Un médaillon, un gros ceinturon, comme un garçon
Comme un garçon moi je suis têtue
Et bien souvent moi je distribue
Des corrections faut faire attention
Comme un garçon

Pourtant je ne suis qu'une fille
Et quand je suis dans tes bras
Je n'suis qu'une petite fille
Perdue, quand tu n'es plus là

Comme un garçon moi j'ai ma moto
Comme un garçon je fais du rodéo
C'est la terreur à 200 à l'heure
Comme un garçon
Comme un garçon je n'ai peur de rien
Comme un garçon moi j'ai des copains
Et dans la bande c'est moi qui commande
Comme un garçon

Pourtant je ne suis qu'une fille
Et quand je suis avec toi
Je n'suis qu'une petite fille
Tu fais ce que tu veux de moi

Comme un garçon j'ai les cheveux long
Comme un garçon je porte un blouson
Un médaillon, un gros ceinturon, comme un garçon
Comme un garçon toi tu n'est pas très attentionné
T'es décontracté, mais avec toi
Je ne suis plus jamais, comme un garçon

Je suis une petite fille
Tu fais ce que tu veux de moi
Je suis une toute petite fille
Et c'est beaucoup mieux comme ça
Voi-là

Rocky Mountain High


Rocky Mountain High
Composer(s): John Denver; Mike Taylor
Performer(s): John Denver;
and various other artists



He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Coming home to a place he'd never been before
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
You might say he found a key for every door

When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
On the road and hanging by a song
But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care
It keeps changing fast and it don't last for long

But the Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullaby
Rocky mountain high

He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below
He saw everything as far as you can see
And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend but kept his memory

Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams
Seeking grace in every step he takes
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake

And the Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply
Rocky mountain high

Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
More people, more scars upon the land

And the Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
Rocky mountain high

It's Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire and everybody's high
Rocky mountain high

The Weakness In Me


The Weakness In Me
Performer(s): Joan Armatrading



I'm not the sort of person who falls
In and quickly out of love
But to you I gave my affection
Right from the start
I have a lover who loves me
How could I break such a heart?
Yet still you gained my attention

Why do you come here
When you know I've got troubles enough?
Why do you call me
When you know I can't answer the phone?
Make me lie, when I don't want to
And make someone else some kind of an unknowin' fool
You make me stare, when I should not
Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me?
Why do you come here
And pretend to be just passing by?
But I need to see you
And I mean to hold you
Tightly

Feeling guilty, worried
Waking from tormented sleep
This old love has me bound
But this new love cuts deep
If I choose now, I'll lose out
One of you has to fall
But I need you, and you

Why do you come here
When you know I've got troubles enough?
Why do you call me
When you know I can't answer the phone?
Make me lie, when I don't want to
And make someone else soem kind of an unknowin' fool
You make me stare, when I should not
Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me?
Why do you come here
And pretend to be just passing by?
But I need to see you
And I mean to hold you
Tightly

Net Als Een Jongen


Net Als Een Jongen
Adapted from: Comme Un Garçon
Composer(s): Jean-Jacques Debout; Roger Dumas; Mary Boduin
Performer(s): Samantha - 1969



Net als een jongen draag ik een jas
Net als een jongen draag ik een das
M'n haren wapperend in de wind
Een bloemenkind
Net als een jongen voel ik me vrij
En soms dan fluit ik er ook nog bij
En 't laat me koud wie er van zegt
'k Ben zoals jij

En toch ben ik maar een meisje
Zo klein en zo onbekend
Ik ben maar een heel klein meisje
Zo klein als je er niet bent

Net als een jongen achter het stuur
net als een jongen honderd per uur
Ik ben de schrik van de hele straat
Een kameraad
Net als een jongen ben ik niet bang
Ben ik bij m'n vrienden, uren lang
Ben ik de baas, iedereen kent mij
'k Ben zoals jij

En toch ben ik maar een meisje
Zo klein als je bij me bent
Ik ben maar een heel klein meisje
Maar jij hebt me nooit verwend

Net als een jongen draag ik een jas
Net als een jongen draag ik een das
M'n haren wapperend in de wind
Een bloemenkind
Al heb je nooit zoveel tijd voor mij
En ook al ben je dan nog zo vrij
Bij jou gedraag ik me nu nooit meer
Net zoals jij

Ik ben maar een heel klein meisje
En jij bent alleen van mij
Ik ben zo'n heel klein meisje
En dat is veel beter zo ... zie, zo ...

Rocky Mountain Breakdown


Rocky Mountain Breakdown
Composer(s): Rusty Young
Performer(s): Poco



Oooo Ooooo steelin', Colorado reelin'
Rocky Mountain Breakdown

Bow to the fiddler
Don't be slow
Smoke on the mountain
Fire on the bow

Pick out the tune
We love to hear
Patch up the feelin's
Mend all the fear

Oh, what a showdown
Toe to toe
First one to holler
Last one to go

Change your partners
Clap your hands
Stomp your feet
At the new barn dance

Ooooo, steelin'
Colorado reelin'
Rocky Mountain Breakdown

The Wayward Wind


The Wayward Wind
((Danish Version: Den Vilde Vind (Four Jacks) - 1957))
Composer(s): Herb Newman - Stanley Lebowsky
First release by: Gogi Grant - 1956
Covered by multiple other artists



Oh, the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And I was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind

In a lonely shack by a railroad track
I spent my younger days
And I guess the sound of the outward bound
Made me a slave to my wand'ring ways

And the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And I was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind

Oh I met a girl in a border town
I vowed we'd never part
Tho' I tried my best to settle down
She's now alone with a broken heart

And the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And I was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
The next of kin to the wayward wind

Rocky


Rocky
Composer(s): Jay Stevens
Performer(s): Austin Roberts;
Dickey Lee; Orion



Alone until my eighteenth year
We met four springs ago
She was shy and had a fear
Of things she did not know
But we got it on together
In such a super way
We held each other close at night
And traded dreams each day

And she said,
"Rocky, I've never been in love before
Don't know if I can do it
But if you let me lean on you
Take my hand, I might get through it" (through it)
I said, "Baby, oh sweet baby
It's love that sets us free
And God knows if the world should end
Your love is safe with me"

We found an old gray house
And you would not believe the way
We worked at night to fix it up
Took classes in the day
Paintin' walls and sippin' wine
Sleepin' on the floor
With so much love for just two
Soon we found there'd be one more

And she said
"Rocky, I've never had a baby before
Don't know if I can do it
But if you let me lean on you
Take my hand, I might get through it" (through it)
I said, "Baby, oh sweet baby
It's love that sets us free
And God knows if the world should end
Your love is safe with me"

We had lots of problems then but
We had lots of fun
Like the crazy party
When our baby girl turned one
I was proud and satisfied
Life had so much to give
'Till the day they told me
That she didn't have long to live

She said
"Rocky, I've never had to die before
Don't know if I can do it..."

Now it's back to two again
The little girl and I
Who looks so much like her sweet mother
Sometimes it makes me cry
I sleep alone at nights again
I walk alone each day
And sometimes when I'm about to give in
I hear her sweet voice say, to me

"Rocky, you know you've been alone before
You know that you can do it
But if you'd like to lean on me
Take my hand, I'll help you through it" (through it)
I said, "Baby, oh sweet baby
It's love that sets us free
And I told you when the world would end
Your love was safe with me"

She said
"Rocky, you know you've been alone before
You know that you can do it
But if you'd like to lean on me...

Someday, when I'm awfully low
And the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

Yes, you're lovely
With your smile so warm, and your cheek so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
Just the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that smile that wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart

Lovely, never, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it, 'cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight
Just the way you look tonight

Comme Un Brasero


Comme Un Brasero
Composer(s): Pierre Rapsat
First release by: Pierre Rapsat - 1992



Quand les feuilles sont mortes
Quand le vent du nord
Se lève et les emporte
Quand les gens soudain pressent le pas
Quand le ciel est si gris
Quand le ciel est si lourd
Que l'on se croit maudit
Quand la ville se cache sous le froid

Envie de chaleur
Envie de toi
Envie rien qu'une heure
Tu es pour moi
Un brasero qui brûle dans la nuit

Dans les rues de Laetitia
On y trouve des lilas
On chante l'Aziza
Evidement ce n'est plus comme avant
Et même, si tout le monde chante
J'ai l'blues du music man
Qu'on arrête qu'on débranche
Et qui voit partir ses enfants

Envie de chaleur
D'être avec toi
Envie rien qu'une heure
Tu es pour moi
Un brasero qui brûle dans la nuit

Envie de chaleur
Encore une fois
Envie rien qu'une heure
Vous êtes pour moi
Des braseros qui brûlent dans la nuit
Des braseros qui brûlent dans la nuit

Dans les salles de cinémas
Chocolats glacés
On vous entend parfois
Que c'est bon de vous y retrouver

Envie de chaleur
D'être avec toi
Envie rien qu'une heure
Tu es pour moi
Un brasero qui brûle dans la nuit

Envie de chaleur
Encore une fois
Envie rien qu'une heure
Vous êtes pour moi
Des braseros qui brûlent dans la nuit

Et sur la grande place de Bruxelles
La neige éclaire et étincelle
Sous les braseros qui brûlent dans la nuit
Les braseros qui brûlent dans la nuit
Les braseros qui brûlent dans la nuit

Rock-N Roll Guitar Picker
Composer(s): Alvin Lee
Performer(s): Alvin Lee



I always wanted to be a rock 'n roll guitar picker
Never wanted to be a big town city slicker
My friends said to me, they said you don't understand
You never make a livin' in a rock 'n roll band
But I play it loud, and the music keeps rockin' on

Well my moma she said, what you gonna do
when you get past twenty-one
Said, I don't think I'll make it - but if I'm mistaken
Well the music will be rockin' on
I said rock 'n roll music - is gettin' me high
I wanna rock 'n roll until the day that I die
I always wanted to be - a rock 'n roll guitar man

Well honey let me take you to a rock 'n roll dance
I'll tell you how to do it if you give me a chance
I'll give you good music and you're gonna do right
Baby let you rock 'n roll - all through the night

I always wanted to be a rock 'n roll guitar picker
I always wanted to be a rock 'n roll guitar man
I always wanted to be a rock 'n roll guitar man

Well back in my school I was a rock 'n roll fool
I didn't learn my lessons and I thought I was cool
The headmaster caught me, the things that he taught me
Will keep me out of trouble - but rock 'n roll rules

Well I always wanted to be a rock 'n roll guitar picker
I always wanted to be a rock 'n roll guitar man
I never wanted to be a big town city slicker
I always wanted to be a rock 'n roll guitar man
I always wanted to be a rock 'n roll guitar man - yeah!

Solo
un momento fa
eri qui con me
vivevamo una stessa vita
fatta di felicità

Solo
un momento fa
qui vicino a me
mi dicevi
tante, tante cose
che nessuno mai dirà

Ora che
non ci sei più
non mi rimane
nulla
resta ormai di te
solo il ricordo

Solo, solo
un momento fa
tu eri ancora qui
a guardarmi
con quegli occhi tristi
che mai più
potrò scordar
scordar

Comme un arbre nu
comme un dessin dans le vent
comme un arbre nu
moi l'oiseau, moi l'oiseau

Comme de la mer un port
monde silencieux, défaille d'amour
comme de la mer un port
moi le vaisseau, moi le vaisseau

L'infini d'un seul coup
et le silence absolu
nous sommes le monde entier
et aussi le néant

Ferme les yeux, nous sommes l'esprit
ouvre les yeux, nous sommes le corps
nous sommes la lumière du soleil
de la nuit l'obscurité

Comme un livre blanc
où est écrit mon nom
comme un livre blanc
moi ce mot là, moi ce mot là

Comme une chanson
jeu du son, jeu du ton
comme une chanson
moi l'accord, moi l'accord

You know you could have been a candle
