Covered by multiple other artists
Going down to the swamp
Gonna watch me a hound dog catch a ’coon
Well, I’m going down to the swamp
Gonna watch me a hound dog catch a ’coon
You know the hounddog make-a music
On a summer night under a full moon
Lord, fetch my cane pole mama
Gonna catch a bream or maybe two
Lord, fetch my cane pole mama
Gonna catch a bream or maybe two
And when the hound dog start barkin’
Sounds like ol’ son house singin’ the blues
Hound dog sing that
Swamp, swamp, swamp, swamp music
Swamp, swamp, swamp, swamp music
When the hound dog starts singin’
I ain’t got them big ol’ city blues
Well, hey pretty mama
Lord, just take that city hike
Said go ahead pretty mama
Lord, just take your city hike
Well, I’d rather live with the hound dogs
For the rest of my natural born life
Hound dog sing that
Swamp, swamp, swamp, swamp music
Swamp, swamp, swamp, swamp music
When the hound dog starts singin’
I ain’t got them big ol’ city blues
Singing that
Swamp, swamp, swamp, swamp music
Swamp, swamp, swamp, swamp music
Well, I’d rather live with the hounddogs
For the rest of my natural born life
Well, I’d wanna live with the hound dogs
For the rest of my natural born life

Zu Potsdam Unter Den Eichen
Zu Potsdam Unter Den Eichen
Composer(s): Bertolt Brecht; Kurt Weill
Performer(s): Ute Lemper; Lotte Lenya
Zu Potsdam unter den Eichen
Im hellen Mittag ein Zug
Vorn eine Trommel und hinten eine Fahn
In der Mitte einen Sarg man trug
Zu Potsdam unter den Eichen
Im hundertjährigen Staub
Da trugen sechse einen Sarg
Mit Helm und Eichenlaub
Und auf dem Sarg mit Mennigerot
Da war geschrieben ein Reim
Die Buchstaben sahen häßlich aus:
"Jedem Krieger sein Helm!"
Das war zum Angedenken
An manchen toten Mann
Geboren in der Heimat
Gefallen am Chemin des Damen.
Gekrochen einst mit Herz und Hand
Dem Vaterland auf den Leim
Belohnt mit dem Sarge vom Vaterland:
Jedem Krieger sein Heim!
So zogen sie durch Potsdam
Für den Mann am Chemim des Dames
Da kam die grüne Polizei
Und haute sie zusamm’

Suzie Lightning
Suzie Lightning
Composer(s): Warren Zevon
Performer(s): Warren Zevon; Robb Johnson
She only sleeps on planes
She's tired of gong nowhere
She's in Yugoslavia
Working on a miniseries
Suzie Lightning
I built a world for her
Suzie lightning
I need a girl from earth
She's in Hungary
She sends postcards home
Does she think of me?
I'm in Hollywood
Suzie Lightning
Takes no prisoners
Suzie Lightning
No use crying about it
No use trying to hold on
She lights the sky up
Then she's gone
She don't have time for love
She don't need me now
Can't she see I'm burning up
Burning down, burning out
Suzie Lightning
I built a world for her
Suzie Lightning
I need a girl from earth

Performer(s): Julien Clerc
Les filons furent épuisés
Avant d'être mis à jour
Ils furent exploités
Avant même d'exister
Chorus : Zucayan
À Zucayan
À Zucayan
Les chercheurs ont jeté
Leurs pioches et leurs tamis
L'or est devenu sourd
À leur triste folie
Zucayan
À Zucayan
À Zucayan
Les sales et mauvaises fleurs
Ont envahi les rues
Les plantes carnivores
S'installent sur les balcons
Zucayan
Les hommes se sont tus
Ils ont fui leur maison
Et sont partis ailleurs
Refaire fortune encore
Zucayan
Tout seul je suis resté
Parmi les indiens bleus
Les lianes enchevêtrées
Et les anciennes mines
Zucayan
Ma barbe pousse lentement
Et la couleur de mes yeux
Se délave dans le temps
De ma mémoire en ruine
Zucayan
Je vieillirai sans joie
Auprès des piranhas
Et je finirai roi
De sauvages trop sages
Zucayan
Au moment du voyage
Je retrouverai les mines
Je redécouvrirai les filons
Je redeviendrai riche

Suzie Baby
Composer(s): Bobby Vee
Performer(s): Bobby Vee
Suzie baby, where are you?
Have you left me for someone new?
Is your lovelight shinin' bright?
Will you love me or leave me tonight?
Suzie baby, don't you know
That I love you and want you so?
Come back baby, come back home
Say you'll love me & never again roam
Suzie baby, I love you
Say you'll come back and love me too
Since you left me, gone away
I've been lonely, alone each day
Suzie baby, where are you?
Have you left me for someone new?
Suzie baby, don't you know
That I love you and want you so?
Someday baby, you'll be blue
And you'll wish that you'd die for me too

Zum, Zum, Zum
Zum Zum Zum
French Title: Zoum, Zoum, Zoum
Composer(s): Antonio Amurri;
Armand Canfora; Ed. Curci
Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan
Sarà capitato anche a voi
Di avere una musica in testa
Sentire una specie di orchestra
Suonare suonare suonare suonare
Zum zum zum zum zum
La canzone che mi passa per la testa
Non so bene cosa sia, dove e quando l'ho sentita
Di sicuro so soltanto che fa zum zum zum zum…
L'ho cantata stamattina appena sveglia
E cantandola ho pensato che non è poi tanto male
Specialmente nel pezzetto che fa zum zum zum zum…
Sapessi almeno cos'è
Mi sembra un concerto per piano
O un pezzo per tanti, ma tanti violini
La canzone che mi passa per la testa
Questa notte l'ho sognata mi sembrava di sentire mille arpe
Che facevano zum zum zum zum zum…
Più ci penso e più mi sembra che sia un cor
Un coretto di bambini che la canta nel cortile di una scuola
Ripetendo sempre zum zum zum zum…
Però se va avanti così finisce che questa canzone
Diventa una tale ossessione che parlo soltanto
Facendo ogni tanto zum zum zum zum…
La canzone che mi passa per la testa
Mi rimbomba come fossero cannoni
Come un mucchio di tamburi e di tromboni
Che fa zum zum zum zum zum…
Stamattina la cantavo io soltanto
Ma stasera già mi sembra di sentire chiaramente
Tanta gente che la canta insieme a me
Zum zum zum zum zum .....

Suzi Girl
Suzi Girl
Composer(s): Lolly Vegas
Performer(s): Redbone
I, I hear a sound inside my head
I gotta know it, it's a product of my invention
Power of your suggestion
Thirty-two bars of electric guitars
And a choir of angels remounding the milky way
That's how I feel when I'm with you, Suzi girl
Suzi girl, you're my world
And I think about you, think about you all day long
Suzi girl, you're my whole wide world
And I think about just loving you the whole day long
Free, free as the sun up in the sky
Free as a bird I fly away into new directions
Making unreal corrections
Swooping in air at impossible speeds
And I head for the moon
And I'm there in a flash of light
That's how I feel when I'm with you, Suzi girl
Suzi girl, you're my world
And I think about you, think about you all day long
Suzi girl, you're my whole wide world
And I think about just loving you the whole day long
I, I see a carnaval of joy
I smell the cotton, then the merry-go-round illusion
There is no right conclusion
People play games for a cuddly toy
And a marching band plays for the children who laugh with me
That's how I feel when I'm with you, Suzi girl
Suzi girl, you're my world
And I think about you, think about you all day long
Suzi girl, you're my whole wide world
And I think about…

Zuray Zurita
Composer(s): David Beigbeder
Performer(s): Raphael
Tanto quehacer en la quebrada y en el llano
Tanto sembrar porque no falte el pan de trigo
Tanto bregar con la tormenta y el verano
El indio se olvido de cantar
El indio se olvido de pensar en lo divino
Tanto sudar por mantener el fuego vivo
Tanto labrar y cepillar bien la madera
Tanto subir y descender por los abismos
El indio se olvido de cantar
El indio se olvido de rezar de esta manera
Zurai, zurai, zurai, zurai zurita, zurai zurita
Mi virgencita pequeña, criolla, cobriza
Zurai zurita, zurai zurita
Yo no me olvido de ti zuray zurita
Zurai zurita, zurai zurita
Mi virgencita pequeña, criolla, cobriza
Zurai zurita, zurai zurita
Yo no me olvido de ti zuray zurita
Tanto gritar por conducir bien el ganado
Tanto dormir en cualquier parte del camino
Tanto llorar y suspirar en solitario
El indio se olvido de cantar
El indio se olvido de pensar en lo divino
Tanto mirar porque no queme el sol el trigo
Tanto cuidar que no se pierda la cosecha
Tanto luchar de sol a sol porque es preciso
El indio se olvido de cantar
El indio se olvido de rezar de esta manera
Zurai, zurai, zurai, zurai zurita, zurai zurita
Mi virgencita pequeña, criolla, cobriza
Zurai zurita, zurai zurita
Yo no me olvido de ti zuray zurita
Zurai zurita, zurai zurita

Suzanne, Beware Of The Devil
Composer(s): R.L. Thompson - Mulby
Performer(s): Dandy Livingstone; Nicky Thomas
Suzanne beware of the devil, don't let him spoil your heart
Suzanne beware of the devil, don't let him put us apart
Did you say we got apart
Or did you say let's go for a walk
Did you say you got someone new
Or did you say you like the colour of hue
I don't know what's goin' on
You're not the girl I used to know
You're turnin' my world upside down
Brandin' me with a frown - e-ey
Suzanne beware of the devil, don't let him spoil your heart
Suzanne beware of the devil, don't let him put us apart
Did you say you're leaving town
Or did you say you're stickin' around
Did you say you're serious
Or did you say it's all a bluff
Why do you wanna change our dreams
All the things we've planned and schemed
Do you really wanna go
Or is it just an overnight goal - e-ey
Suzanne beware of the devil, don't let him spoil your heart
Suzanne beware of the devil, don't let him put us apart, no no
Did you say we got apart
Or did you say let's go for a walk
Did you say you got someone new
Or did you say you like the colour of hue
I don't know what's goin' on
You're not the girl I used to know
You're turnin' my world upside down
Brandin' me with a frown - ey-ey
Suzanne beware of the devil, don't let him spoil your heart - yeah-hey
Suzanne beware of the devil, oho, don't let him put us apart ...

Zwei Kleine Italiener
Zwei Kleine Italiener
(Italian Version: Un Bacio All'italiana)
Composer(s): Christian Bruhn; Georg Buschor
First performance by: Conny Froboess - 1962
Eine Reise in den Süden
Ist für andre schick und fein
Doch zwei kleine Italiener
Möchten gern zuhause sein
Zwei kleine Italiener
Die träumen von Napoli
Von Tina und Marina
Die warten schon lang auf sie
Zwei kleine Italiener
Die sind so allein
Eine Reise in den Süden
Ist für andre schick und fein
Doch zwei kleine Italiener
Möchten gern zuhause sein
Oh Tina oh Marina
Wenn wir uns einmal wiedersehn
Oh Tina oh Marina
Dann wird es wieder schön
Zwei kleine Italiener
Vergessen die Heimat nie
Die Palmen und die Mädchen
Am Strande von Napoli
Zwei kleine Italiener
Die sehen es ein
Eine Reise in den Süden
Ist für andre schick und fein
Doch zwei kleine Italiener
Möchten gern zuhause sein
Oh Tina oh Marina
Wenn wir uns einmal wiedersehn
Oh Tina oh Marina
Dann wird es wieder schön
Zwei kleine Italiener
Am Bahnhof da kennt man sie
Sie kommen jeden Abend
Zum D-Zug nach Napoli
Zwei kleine Italiener
Stehn stumm hinterdrein
Eine Reise in den Süden
Ist für andre schick und fein
Doch zwei kleine Italiener
Möchten gern zuhause sein
Oh Tina oh Marina
Wenn wir uns einmal wiedersehn
Oh Tina oh Marina
Dann wird es wieder schön

Suzanne takes you down to
her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said "All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind
Now Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind

Zwischen Heute Und Morgen
Zwischen Heute Und Morgen
Composer(s): Peter Kreuder; H.F. Beckmann
Performer(s): Greta Keller
Es kann zwischen heute und Morgen
So unsagbar vieles geschehen
Du kannst zwischen heute und morgen
Eine andere schönere sehen
Drum sollst du mir heute nichts erzählen
Ich liebe dich so wie du bist
Man soll sich mit Reden die Stunde nicht stehlen
In denen man besser glücklich ist
Man sagt oft was man dann später bereut
Und täusch sich in sein Gefühl
Das Herz wird zwar älter im laufe der Zeit
Nur lernen tut es nicht viel
Es scheint oft, als ob man die Wahrheit spricht
Und lügt doch selber nur an
Drum spar dir die Worte
Ich glaube die nicht
Von Liebe spricht schnell jeder Mann

Suzanne neemt je mee
naar een bank aan het water
duizend schepen gaan voorbij
en toch wordt 't maar niet later
en je weet dat zij goed gek is
want daarom zit je naast haar
en ze geeft je pepermuntjes
want ze geeft je graag iets tastbaars
en net als je haar wilt zeggen
'ik kan jou geen liefde geven'
komt heel de stad tot leven en hoor
je meeuwen schreeuwen
je hebt steeds van haar gehouden
en je wilt wel met haar meegaan
samen naar de overkant
en je moet haar wel vertrouwen
want ze houdt al jouw gedachten in haar hand
en Jezus was een visser
die het water zo vertrouwde
dat Hij zomaar over zee liep
omdat Hij had leren houden
van de golven en de branding
waarin niemand kan verdrinken
Hij zei: 'Als men blijft geloven
kan de zwaarste steen niet zinken'
Maar de hemel ging pas open
toen Zijn lichaam was gebroken
en hoe Hij heeft geleden
dat weet alleen die Visser aan 't kruis
en je wilt wel met Hem meegaan
samen naar de overkant
en je moet Hem wel vertrouwen
want Hij houdt al jouw gedachten in Zijn hand
Suzanne neemt je mee
naar een bank aan het water
je onthoudt waar ze naar kijkt
als herinnering voor later
en het zonlicht lijkt wel honing
waaraan kinderen zich te goed doen
en het grasveld ligt bezaaid met wat de
mensen zoal weg doen
in de goot liggen de helden
met een glimlach op de lippen
en de meeuwen in de lucht
lijken net verdwaalde stippen
als Suzanne je lachend aankijkt
en je wilt wel met haar meegaan
samen naar de overkant
en je moet haar wel vertrouwen
want ze houdt al jouw gedachten in haar hand

Suzanne t'emmène écouter les sirènes
Elle te prend par la main
Pour passer une nuit sans fin
Tu sais qu'elle est à moitié folle
C'est pourquoi tu veux rester
Sur un plateau d'argent
Elle te sert du thé au jasmin
Et quand tu voudrais lui dire
Tu n'as pas d'amour pour elle
Elle t'appelle dans ses ondes
Et laisse la mer répondre
Que depuis toujours tu l'aimes
Tu veux rester à ses côtés
Maintenant, tu n'as plus peur
De voyager les yeux fermés
Une flamme brûle dans ton coeur
Il était un pêcheur venu sur la terre
Qui a veillé très longtemps
Du haut d'une tour solitaire
Quand il a compris que seuls
Les hommes perdus le voyaient
Il a dit qu'on voguerait
Jusqu'à ce que les vagues nous libèrent
Mais lui-même fut brisé
Bien avant que le ciel s'ouvre
Délaissé et presqu'un homme
Il a coulé sous votre sagesse
Comme une pierre
Tu veux rester à ses côtés
Maintenant, tu n'as plus peur
De voyager les yeux fermés
Une flamme brûle dans ton coeur
Suzanne t'emmène écouter les sirènes
Elle te prend par la main
Pour passer une nuit sans fin
Comme du miel, le soleil coule
Sur Notre Dame des Pleurs
Elle te montre où chercher
Parmi les déchets et les fleurs
Dans les algues, il y a des rêves
Des enfants au petit matin
Qui se penchent vers l'amour
Ils se penchent comme ça toujours
Et Suzanne tient le miroir
Tu veux rester à ses côtés
Maintenant, tu n'as plus peur
De voyager les yeux fermés
Une blessure étrange dans ton coeur

Nel suo posto in riva al fiume
Suzanne ti ha voluto accanto
e ora ascolti andar le barche
ora puoi dormirle al fianco
sì lo sai che lei è pazza
ma per questo sei con lei
E ti offre il tè e le arance
che ha portato dalla Cina
e proprio mentre stai per dirle
che non hai amore da offrirle
lei è già sulla tua onda
e fa che il fiume ti risponda
che da sempre siete amanti
E tu vuoi viaggiarle insieme
vuoi viaggiarle insieme ciecamente
perché sai che le hai toccato il corpo
il suo corpo perfetto con la mente
E Gesù fu un marinaio
finché camminò sull'acqua
e restò per molto tempo a guardare solitario
dalla sua torre di legno
e poi quando fu sicuro
che soltanto agli annegati
fosse dato di vederlo disse :"Siate marinai
finché il mare vi libererà"
E lui stesso fu spezzato
ma più umano, abbandonato
nella nostra mente lui non naufragò
E tu vuoi viaggiargli insieme
vuoi viaggiargli insieme ciecamente
forse avrai fiducia in lui
perché ti ha toccato il corpo con la mente
E Suzanne ti dà la mano
ti accompagna lungo il fiume
porta addosso stracci e piume
presi in qualche dormitorio
il sole scende come miele
su di lei donna del porto
che ti indica i colori
tra la spazzatura e i fiori
scopri eroi tra le alghe marce
e bambini nel mattino
che si sporgono all'amore
e così faranno sempre
e Suzanne regge lo specchio
E tu vuoi viaggiarle insieme
vuoi viaggiarle insieme ciecamente
perché sai che ti ha toccato il corpo
il tuo corpo perfetto con la mente

Suzanne tar dig med
Hem till sig nära floden
Du kan höra båtar ljuda
Sent på natten bredvid henne
När du vet att hon är tokig
Är det därför du är där
Och hon bjuder te och frukter
Komma ändå ifrån Kina
Och just när du ska säga
Jag har ingen kärlek till dig
Får hon in dig på sin våglängd
Och hon låter floden svara
Att du alltid älskat henne
Och visst vill du gå med henne
När du följer är allt väl
Och hon vet att det är sanning
Att du har snuddat hennes kropp
med din själ
Jesus var en sjöman
Den gång han gick på vattnet
och hans ögon sökte länge
Från ett ödsligt torn av trä
Och när han visste säkert
Bara drunknade har kunskap
Sa han alla ska bli sjömän
Tills dess havet ger dem frihet
Men själv så var han bruten
Långt innan himlen syntes försakad
Nästan mänsklig för sjunken för
Din visdom
Som en sten
Och visst vill du följa honom
När du följer är allt väl
Och kanhända är det sanning
Att han har snuddat vid din kropp
Med sin själ
Nu tar Suzanne din hand
Och hon leder dig till floden
Hon är klädd i lump och fjädrar
Som nå'n annan burit förut
Solen flödar lugnt som honung
Ner på din och flodens drottning
Och hon visar för ditt öga
Där bland sopor och bland blommor
Finns det hjältar mitt bland sj8öräs
Det finns barn i någons morgon
Som är svaga för nå'ns kärlek
Där finns svagheten för evigt
Och Suzanne häller spegeln
och visst vill du gå med henne
När ni följs åt är allt väl
Och du vet att det är sanning
Att hon har snuddat vid din kropp
Med sin själ

Susan ta'r dig ned sig
til sit hus nær ved havet
du ka' høre fjerne skibe
du ka' lægge dig hos hende
og du ved at hun er småskør
det er derfor du er her
og hun gi'r dig te og frugter
som er fløjet ind fra Kina
og da du vil sige
at du ingenting ka gi' hende
så hun får dig til at lytte
og du hører havet svare
du har elsket hende altid
Og du ved at I skal følges
du vil følge hende blindt
og du ved hun stoler på dig
du har rørt en krop så fuldendt
med dit sind
Og Jesus selv var sømand
da han vandrede på havet
og han spejdede langt og længe
fra et ensomt tårn af tømmer
og da han endelig indså
at kun druknede ku' se ham sa'e han:
"nu er alle sømænd
indtil havet vil befri dem"
men selv brød han sammen
før at himlens dør ku' åbnes
forladt ligesom et menneske
sank han gennem din bevidsthed
som en sten
Og du ved at I skal følges
du vil følges med ham blindt
og du tror du stoler på ham
han har rørt din krop så fuldendt
med dit sind
Susan ta'r din hånd
og hun fører dig til havet
hun er klædt i fjer og pjalter
som hun har fra frelsens hære
og nu spreder solen honning
over havnen sin veninde
og hun lærer dig at søge
og hun lærer dig at søge
mellem affald mellem blomster
der er helte skjult i søgræs
der er børn i hvert et daggry
og de griber efter ømhed
og de griber dig for altid
imens hun holder spejlet
og du ved at i skal følges
