Je Chante Pour Passer Le Temps


Je Chante Pour Passer Le Temps
Composer(s): Louis Aragon; Léo Ferré
Performer(s): Léo Ferré;
and various other artists



Je chante pour passer le temps
Petit qu'il me reste de vivre
Comme on dessine sur le givre
Comme on se fait le cœur content
A lancer cailloux sur l'étang
Je chante pour passer le temps

J'ai vécu le jour des merveilles
Vous et moi souvenez-vous-en
Et j'ai franchi le mur des ans
Des miracles plein les oreilles
Notre univers n'est plus pareil
J'ai vécu le jour des merveilles

Allons que ces doigts se dénouent
Comme le front d'avec la gloire
Nos yeux furent premiers à voir
Les nuages plus bas que nous
Et l'alouette à nos genoux
Allons que ces doigts se dénouent

Nous avons fait des clairs de lune
Pour nos palais et nos statues
Qu'importe à présent qu'on nous tue
Les nuits tomberont une à une
La Chine s'est mise en Commune
Nous avons fait des clairs de lune

Et j'en dirais et j'en dirais
Tant fut cette vie aventure
Où l'homme a pris grandeur nature
Sa voix par-dessus les forêts
Les monts les mers et les secrets
Et j'en dirais et j'en dirais

Oui pour passer le temps je chante
Au violon s'use l'archet
La pierre au jeu des ricochets
Et que mon amour est touchante
Près de moi dans l'ombre penchante
Oui pour passer le temps je chante

Je chante pour passer le temps
Oui pour passer le temps je chante

Those Tears In Your Eyes (Were Not For Me)


Those Tears In Your Eyes (Were Not For Me)
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



There were tears in your eyes when you kissed me
But no love in your heart could I see
Four years that I’ve had been gone
Must have been too lone
'Cause Those Tears In Your Eyes were Not For Me

I know now that you’ve found another
And you’re wondering if I will set you free
I wouldn’t know the score
To want you any more
'Cause Those Tears In Your Eyes Were Not For Me

Ah come in Jimmy

I remember the time when we were happy
But I guess it was never meant to be
I don’t know who to blame
But you have brought me shame
'Cause Those Tears In Your Eyes Were Not For Me

All our friends seem to know just what happened
But I don’t want their kind of sympathy
I just want to forget
A lovely girl that I met
'Cause Those Tears In Your Eyes Are Not For Me

Cruzando La Calle


Cruzando La Calle
Composer(s): Aquelarre Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



La ventana tenía un aspecto muy normal
pero cada día sentimos que se agita más

Cruzando la calle, cruzando la puerta de tu hogar
tu hermano se muere, mi hermano no podrá esperar
América vibra, mi mente quiere libertad
La muerte te ronda, la muerte nos quiere ganar

Cruzando la calle, cruzando la puerta de tu hogar
tu hermano se muere, mi hermano no puede esperar
La ventana tiene un aspecto muy normal
pero cada día sentimos que se agita más

Je Chante Avec Toi Liberté


Je Chante Avec Toi Liberté
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë;
Claude Lemesle; Giuseppe Verdi
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri; Steph Carse



Quand tu chantes, je chante avec toi liberté
Quand tu pleures, je pleure aussi ta peine
Quand tu trembles, je prie pour toi liberté
Dans la joie ou les larmes je t'aime
Souviens-toi des jours de ta misère
Mon pays, tes bateaux étaient des galères
Quand tu chantes, je chante avec toi liberté
Et quand tu es absente j'espère
Qui e-tu: religion ou bien réalité
Une idée de révolutionnaire
Moi je crois que tu es la seule vérité
La noblesse de notre humanité
Je comprends qu'on meure pour te défendre
Que l'on passe sa vie à t'attendre
Quand tu chantes, je chante avec toi liberté
Dans la joie ou les larmes je t'aime
Les chansons de l'espoir ont ton nom et ta voix
Le chemin de l'histoire nous conduira vers toi
Liberté, liberté

Those Shoes


Those Shoes
Composer(s): Don Felder - Glenn Frey - Don Henley
First release by: Eagles - 1979



Tell us what you’re gonna do tonight, mama
There must be someplace you can go
In the middle of the tall drinks and the drama
There must be someone you know

God knows, you’re lookin’ good enough
But you’re so smooth and the world’s so rough
You might have somethin’ to loose
Oh, no, pretty mama, what you gonna
Do in those shoes?

Got those pretty little straps around your ankles
Got those shiny little chains around your heart
You go to have your independence
But you don’t know just where to start

Desperation in the singles bars
An’ all those jerkoffs in their fancy cars
You can’t believe your reviews

Oh, no, you can’t do that
Once you started wearin’ those shoes

They’re lookin’ at you, leanin’ on you
Tell you anything you want to hear
They give you tablets of love
They’re waiting for you
Got to score you
Handy with a shovel and so sincere
Ooh, they got the kid glove

You just want someone to talk to
They just wanna get their hands on you
You get whatever you choose
Oh, no, you can’t do that
Once you started wearin’ those shoes

Crunchin' Walnuts With My Teeth


Crunchin' Walnuts With My Teeth
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Shel Silverstein



Ever since I been a little child
I been crunchin' walnuts with my teeth
And that accounts for my unusual smile
I been crunchin' walnuts with my teeth
And while other kids was goin' to school
Learnin' 'bout tools and learnin' 'bout rules
I was sittin' by myself, playin' it cool
Just crunchin' walnuts with my teeth

Well, I met a little girl at the general store
While I was crunchin' walnuts with my teeth
She said, "I see you're the one for me"
So we went and got married immediately
I spent my honeymoon romantically
Crunchin' walnuts with my teeth

Now one night as I was returnin' to my house
I was crunchin' walnuts with my teeth
I heard some fella, he was lovin' my spouse
While I was crunchin' walnuts with my teeth
And I peeked in the window and he come into view
He weighed three hundred pounds, stood seven foot two
So I did what any red-blooded American boy would do
Crunched a walnut with my teeth

Now my whole lifelong philosophy
Is crunch a walnut with your teeth
Just think how happy the world would be
If we all crunched walnuts with our teeth
And we'd all sit around in the middle of the floor
A-crunchin' and a-munchin' like we never did before
And you know nobody's gonna go to war
Crunchin' walnuts with their teeth

Je Change Un Peu De Vent


Je Change Un Peu De Vent
Composer(s): Joe Dassin; J.M. Rivat
Performer(s): Joe Dassin



Je ne sais pas d'où il vient
Je ne sais pas où il va
Je ne sais pas où va ce train
Qui m'emporte loin de toi

Je n'ai pris qu'un viex chapeau
J'ai sauté dans ce wagon
Qui transporte des chevaux
Et j'irai où ils vont

Tu étais pourtant jolie
Mais il faut de temps en temps
Que je change un peu de vie
Que je change un peu de vent

Those Oldies But Goodies (Remind Me Of You)


Those Oldies But Goodies (Remind Me Of You)
Composer(s): Paul Politti - Nick Curinga
Performer(s): Little Caesar & The Romans; Nino & the Ebb Tides



Those oldies but goodies reminds me of you
The songs of the past bring back memories of you
I always remember the first night we met
The songs they were playing I never will forget

I always will treasure them so close to my heart
They always will haunt me although we're apart
Each time that I hear them a tear's bound to fall
For I love those memories that I, I-I recall

Those oldies but goodies reminds me of you
The songs of the past bring back memories of you
Forever they will haunt me but what can I do?

Those oldies but goodies reminds me of... you
(Oldies but goodies reminds me of you)

"Yes, dear, they are playin' our songs
And they will always remain our songs
And each time you hear them, I hope you, too, will cherish the wonderful memories that our love once knew
For these songs are just a symbol of the love that I had for you"

Those oldies but goodies reminds me of you
The songs of the past bring back memories of you
Forever they will haunt me but what can I do?

Those oldies but goodies reminds me of... you
(Oldies but goodies reminds me of you)

Crumbling Land


Crumbling Land
Composer(s): David Gilmour; Nick Mason; Roger Waters; Richard Wright
Performer(s): Pink Floyd



In a while I'll find the time to make the sunshine mine
in a smile I saw a single eagle in the sky
wheeling, soaring, gliding high

On a hill there lived a man with many shining things
shiny gold, shiny car and shiny diamond rings
wining, dining, shining king

Now the eagle flies in clear blue skies
drinking in the clear blue well
back here on the ground another dealer coughs and dies
but fifty more come rolling off the floor production line

Then a man appearing like a mirage on the sand
in his hand a moving picture of the crumbling land
screaming, dealing, movie man

Here we go, hold your breath to see if something blows
close your eyes, count till ten and see the sunrise rise
gliding high into the sky

By the holy mansion, let the guardian rise
upon the finger of the king
on high the eagle flies, that glitter all of gold
then wheeling in a cloudy sky, he flies into the sun

Eh! Barman
S'il vous plait!
Il est tard
Oui, je le sais
Et elle ne viendra pas
Mais tant pis
Je bois à sa santé

Une autre passera dans ma vie
Je bois à sa santé

Hé, mais soudain
Oui, la voilà
Non, je ne rêve pas
Mais pourquoi sont-elles trois
Bah, tant pis!
Je bois à leur santé

Those Magic Changes


Those Magic Changes
Composer(s): Warren Casey - Jim Jacobs
First release by: Sha-Na-Na - 1978
Covered by multiple other artists



What's that playing on the radio?
Why do I start swaying to and fro?
I have never heard that song before
But if I don't hear it anymore

Still familiar to me sends a thrill right to me
Plus those chords remind me of the night that I first fell in love to
Those magic changes
My heart arranges
A melody that's never the same
A melody thats calling your name
And betcha please come back to me
Please return to me
Don't go away again or make them play again
The music I want to hear at once again
You whisper in my ear oh my darling

I'll be waiting by the radio
You'll come back to me some day I know
Been so long since our last goodbye
But I'm singing as I cry

While the bass is sounding while the drums are punding
Beating of my broken heart will rise to first place in the charts
Oh my heart arranges
Oh those magic changes

Je Bois


Je Bois English & Italian Titles: I Drink; Io Bevo Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Georges Garvarentz
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Je bois pour oublier mes années d'infortune
Et cette vie commune
Avec toi mais si seul
Je bois pour me donner l'illusion que j'existe
Puisque trop égoïste
Pour me péter la gueule

Et je lève mon verre à nos cœurs en faillite
Nos illusions détruites
A ma fuite en avant
Et je trinque à l'enfer qui dans mon foie s'impose
En bouquet de cirrhose
Que j'arrose en buvant

Je bois au jour le jour à tes fautes, à mes fautes
Au temps que côte à côte
Il nous faut vivre encore
Je bois à nos amours ambigus, diaboliques
Souvent tragi-comiques
Nos silences de mort

A nos unions ratées, mesquines et pitoyables
A ton corps insatiable
Roulant de lit en lit
A ce serment, prêté la main sur l'Évangile
A ton ventre stérile
Qui n'eut jamais de fruit

Je bois pour échapper à ma vie insipide
Je bois jusqu'au suicide
Le dégoût la torpeur
Je bois pour m'enivrer et vomir mes principes
Libérant de mes tripes
Ce que j'ai sur le cœur

Au bonheur avorté, à moi, à mes complexes
A toi, tout feu, tout sexe
A tes nombreux amants
A ma peau boursouflée, striée de couperose
Et à la ménopause
Qui te guette au tournant

Je bois au lois bénies de la vie conjugale
Qui de peur de scandale
Poussent à faire semblant
Je bois jusqu'à la lie aux étreintes sommaires
Aux putes exemplaires
Aux froids accouplements

Au meilleur de la vie qui par lambeaux nous quitte
A cette cellulite
Dont ton corps se dépare
Au devoir accompli comme deux automates
Aux ennuis de prostate
Que j'aurais tôt ou tard

Je bois à en crever et peu à peu j'en crève
Comme ont crevé mes rêves
Quand l'amour m'a trahi
Je bois à m'en damner le foie comme une éponge
Car le mal qui me ronge
Est le mal de l'oubli

Je m'enivre surtout pour mieux noyer ma peine
Et conjurer la haine
Dont nous sommes la proie
Et le bois comme un trou qu'est en tout point semblable
A celui que le diable
Te fait creuser pour moi

Je bois mon Dieu, je bois
Un peu par habitude
Beaucoup de solitude
Et pour t'oublier toi
Et pour t'emmerder toi
Je bois, je bois

Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days Of Summer


Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days Of Summer
Performer(s): Nat King Cole



Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer

Just fill your basket full of sandwiches and weenies
Then lock the house up, now you're set
And on the beach you'll see the girls in their bikinis
As cute as ever but they never get 'em wet

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
You'll wish that summer could always be here

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer

Don't hafta tell a girl and fella about a drive-in
Or some romantic moon it seems
Right from the moment that those lovers start arrivin'
You'll see more kissin' in the cars than on the screen

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
You'll wish that summer could always be here

You'll wish that summer could always be here
You'll wish that summer could always be here

Cruising Down The River


Cruising Down The River
Composer(s): Eily Beadell - Nell Tollerton Performer(s): Russ Morgan and multiple other artists



Cruising down the river
On a Sunday afternoon
With one you love, the sun above
Waiting for the moon

The old accordian playing
A sentimental tune
Cruising down the river
On a Sunday afternoon

The birds above, all sing of love
A gentle sweet refrain
The winds around, all make a sound
Like softly falling rain ...

Just two of us together
We'll plan our honeymoon
Cruising down the river
On a Sunday afternoon

Je Blijft Me Lief


Je Blijft Me Lief
Performer(s): Conny Vandenbos



Refrein:
Je blijft me lief men leven lang
Ik laat je vrij, wees maar niet bang
Ik laat je gaan je bent vrij man
Maar komt terug,… zo nu en dan

Ik weet het wel, jij wilt geen al te vaste band
Jij houdt de liefde in de hand
Ik weet het wel jij leeft van dag tot dag, tot dag
Je gaat niet zomaar over stag

Refrein:

Ik weet het wel, jij vind dat ik weer spoken zie
Als ik je vraag waar of je was en met wie
Ik weet het wel, ik zie het niet zo erg reëel
Misschien wil ik, wel, veel te veel

refrein

Ik weet het wel, je bent me lang niet altijd trouw
En toch hou ik alleen van jouw
Ik weet het wel, je hebt het mij al vaak gezegd
Je bent toch erg, aan, mij, gehecht

Refrein:

Je blijft me lief men leven lang
Ik laat je gaan, wees maar niet bang
Ik laat je gaan op jouw advies
Dan ben ik bang ... dat ik je zo verlies

Those Days Are Over


Those Days Are Over
Composer(s): Andrew B. Sterling - Edward P. Moran - Harry Von Tilzer



Let's take a look in memry's book back to the days of yore
Back to the school old swimmin' pool wel'll just be kids once more
Let's wander back where we used to sit and dram
Down by the old mill stream

Let's climb the hill down by the mill pile on the old bob sled
Coasting we'll go roll in the snow until our cheeks grow red
Oh for the days of the olden golden pas
They were too good to last

Where are the days of long ago?
Those days are over those days are over all over
Where is the barefoot bashful beau? the one who wrote "I love you so"
Oh! Sweet childhood days so dear to you and me
Sweet wildwood ways are just a memory
Gee! but it makes me sad some how
Those days are over over now

Je Bivouaque Au Pays De Cocagne


Je Bivouaque Au Pays De Cocagne
Performer(s): Georges Brassens



Une rue sans joie où les sbires
Tout seuls ne s'aventurent pas
Un coupe-gorge et même pire
La venelle où traînaient mes pas!
Mais j'avais mangé du poète
Je marchais un peu sur la tête
Et cett' rue je l'ai traversée
Comm' l'avenue des Champs-Élysées

{Refrain:}
Je bivouaque au
Pays de Co
cagne depuis
Que j'ai bouté
La vérité
Au fond du puits

Beauté du diable et qui n'inspire
Pas l'envie d'aller en sabbat
Epouvantail et même pire
La fille m'offrant ses appas!
Mais j'avais mangé du poète
Je marchais un peu sur la tête
Et j'ai changé cette petite
En une Vénus Aphrodite

{Refrain}

Quatre anges déchus qui soupirent
Si peu qu'on ne les entend pas
Jamais étreinte ne fut pire
Jamais amour vola si bas!
Mais j'avais mangé du poète
Je marchais un peu sur la tête
Et quittant doucement la terre
Je fus à bon port à Cythère

{Refrain}
