Trenètement
Trenètement
CComposer(s): Charles Aznavour - Charles Trénet
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Ma page est vierge
Je suis devant
Il me faut écrire un roman
Et je gamberge
Me tiens le front
En cherchant une inspiration
Si dans une heure
J'ai pu noircir quelques feuillets
Mon éditeur
Pourra me consentir un prêt
Que ma concierge
Guette déjà
Car mon loyer
N'est pas payé
Depuis six mois
Je me concentre
Mais rien ne vient
Et je suis mangé par la faim
Car dans mon ventre
Au désespoir
Il n'y a pas même un café noir
J'ai beau chercher
Comment faire un repas gratuit
Dans le quartier
Je n'obtiens plus aucun crédit
Et quand je rentre
Chez eux parfois
Les commerçants
Sont menaçants
Dès qu'ils me voient
Muse ma reine
Ma tendre amie
Mon doux cœur et mon pur esprit
Mets-moi en veine
Je suis à court
Je t'en prie, viens à mon secours
Donne-moi donc
Trois personnages et un décor
Qui connaîtront
La vie, l'amour et puis la mort
Que ça devienne un best-seller
Qui m'offre un jour
Et le Goncourt
Et l'habit vert
Mon cœur bat vite
Ça y est, je crois
Mon roman s'écrit malgré moi
Quand je cogite
Ma plume court
J'en oublie tout ce qui m'entoure
Je suis génial
J'ai fini l'œuvre en une nuit
Le point final
Est au bas de mon manuscrit
Je sollicite
Mon éditeur
Qui m'éconduit
Avec mépris
Ah! Quel malheur
Dès lors je sombre
Dans la folie
Et je dis adieu à la vie
Dans la pénombre
Sans oraison
Je me fais un trou dans le front
Je vois d'en haut
Les gens s'arracher mes bouquins
Souvent il faut
Mourir pour devenir quelqu'un
Mais comme une ombre
Souvent la nuit
Je reviendrai
Je le promets
Et sans répit
Je ferai peur
Aux éditeurs
Toutes les nuits
Je ferai peur
Aux éditeurs
Toutes les nuits

I Never Will Marry
I Never Will Marry
French & German Titles: Jamais Je Ne Me Marierai; Ich Kann Nicht Vergessen
Composer(s): Alvin P. Carter
First recording/First release by: The Carter Family - 1933/1939
Covered by multiple other artists
They say that love's a gentle thing
To me brought only pain
Since the only man I ever loved
Is gone on the morning train
I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I will remain single
For the rest of my life
Well the train pulled out
The whistle blew
With a long and lonesome moan
He's gone, he's gone
Like the morning dew
And left me all alone
I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I will remain single
For the rest of my life
Well there's many a change in the winter wind
And a change in the clouds design
There's many a change in the youg girl's heart
But never a change in mine
I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I will remain single
For the rest of my life
I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I will remain single
For the rest of my life

Earthbound
Earthbound
Composer(s): Jeff Musel - Clive Richardson - Jack Taylor
Performer(s): Sammy Davis Jr.
Earthbound, my heart was Earthbound
Til I looked into your eyes
I found my heart was Earthbound
Til you took it to the skies
I felt your arms around me
And I was safe and warm in your embrace
Suddenly, the change that bound me
Were gone and I was soaring into space
I thought happiness missed me
But you changed my world around
Earthbound until you first kissed me
And then in your arms I became Heavenbound
(I thought happiness missed me)
(But you changed my world around))
Earthbound until you first kissed me
And then in your arms I became Heavenbound

Covered by multiple other artists
Não posso ficar , não posso ficar
Nem mais um minuto com você
Sinto muito amor, mas não pode ser
Moro em Jaçanã Se eu perder esse trem
Que sai agora às onze horas
Só amanhã de manhã
E, além disso, mulher
Tem outra coisa
Minha mãe não dorme enquanto eu não chegar
Sou filho único
Tenho minha casa pra olhar
Não posso ficar...

I Never Thought It Peculiar
I Never Thought It Peculiar
Composer(s): Tommy Boyce; Bobby Hart
Performer(s): The Monkees
I never thought it peculiar
That you never gave me a smile
I wasn't socially suited
To make it worth your while
Oh no and I never thought it peculiar
That my heart always beat like a drum
Each time I would see you walk by me
You were as pretty as they come
So I sent some flowers to your doorstep
And wrote on the card "I love you"
I don't know why but I do know that I
Had a feeling that you liked me too
So I never thought it peculiar
When you stopped to ask me the time
And I don't think it's terribly peculiar
That now, little girl, you are mine
So I sent some flowers to your doorstep.
And wrote on the card "I love you"
I don't know why but I do know that I
Had a feeling that you liked me too
So I never thought it peculiar
When you stopped to ask me the time
And I don't think its terribly peculiar
That now, little girl, you are mine
That now, little girl, you are mine
That now, little girl, you are mine

((Dutch Version: Aardsong (Liliane Saint-Pierre) - 1997))
Composer(s): Michael Jackson
First release by: Michael Jackson - 1995
What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain...
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we’ve shed before
Did you ever stop this notice
This crying earth this we make sure?
Aaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaah
What have we done to the world
Look what we’ve done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying earth this we make sure?
Aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaaah
I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don’t know where we are
Although I know we’ve drifted far
Aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaaaah
Hey, what about yesterday
(what about us)
What about the seas
(what about us)
The heavens are falling down
(what about us)
I can’t even breathe
(what about us)
What about everything
(what about us)
I have given you
(what about us)
What about nature’s worth
(ooo,ooo)
It’s our planet’s womb
(what about us)
What about animals
(what about it)
We’ve turned kingdoms to dust
(what about us)
What about elephants
(what about us)
Have we lost their trust
(what about us)
What about crying whales
(what about us)
We’re ravaging the seas
(what about us)
What about forest trails
(ooo, ooo)
Burnt despite our pleas
(what about us)
What about the holy land
(what about it)
Torn apart by creed
(what about us)
What about the common man
(what about us)
Can’t we set him free
(what about us)
What about children dying
(what about us)
Can’t you hear them cry
(what about us)
Where do we go wrong
(ooo, ooo)
Someone tell me why
(what about us)
What about baby boy
(what about it)
What about the days
(what about us)
What about all their joy
(what about us)
What about the men
(what about us)
What about the crying man
(what about us)
What about abraham
(what was us)
What about death again
(ooo, ooo)
Do we give a damn
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaaaaah

Trem Das Cores
Trem Das Cores
Composer(s): Caetano Veloso
Performer(s): Caetano Veloso; Quarteto em Cy
A franja da encosta
Cor de Laranja
Capim rosa chá
O mel desses olhos luz
Mel de cor ímpar
O ouro ainda não bem verde da serra
A prata do trem
A lua e a estrela
Anel de turquesa
Os átomos todos dançam
Madruga
Reluz neblina
Criancas cor de romã
Entram no vagão
O oliva da nuvem chumbo
Ficando
P'ra trás da manhã
E a seda azul do papel
Que envolve a maçã
As casas tão verde e rosa
Que vão passando ao nos ver passar
Os dois lados da janela
E aquela num tom de azul
Quase inesistente azul que não há
Azul que é pura memória de algum lugar
Teu cabelo preto
Explícito objeto
Castanhos lábios
Ou p'ra ser exato
Lábios cor de açaí
E aqui trem das cores
Sabe os projetos
Tocar na central
E o céu de um azul
Celeste celestial

I Never Met Colette
I Never Met Colette
Performer(s): Albie Wycherley
I used to hang around with our kid
We both thought Elvis was the one
Though he was shy, he was ready
I guess he knew his time would come
He used to work down on the tug boats
When Billy played his guitar
And when he sang his songs to Margo
She told him that he'd be a star
But I never met Colette
Did she stand him up? That's how it seems
I never met Colette
So was she only ever a dream?
He made the charts, he made the movies
He'd often run and hide away
To sit and wonder at the wild life
Or simply watch the horses play
When Jealousy became a classic
It was a favourite at the Loc
Now paradise is where you'll find him
He was the gentle king of rock
But I never met Colette
Did she stand him up? That's how it seems
I never met Colette
So was she only ever a dream?

Celebrate morning
The cry of a loon on a lake in the night
The dreams that are born in the dawns early light
Celebrate morning
Celebrate living
The laughter that sings in the heart of a child
The freedom that flies at the call of the wild
Celebrate living
Celebrate evening
The stars that appear in the loss of the sun
Whispering winds, We are one, we are one...
Celebrate earth Day, every day
Celebrate earth Day, every day
Celebrate land and sea
Celebrate you and me
Celebrate earth Day, every day

The Trees
The Trees
Composer(s): Nick Banks - Jarvis Cocker - Candida Doyle - Steve Mackey - Mark Webber
Performer(s): Pulp
I took an air rifle
Full of buckeye to the ground
And it died without a sound
Your skin's so pale
Against the fallen autumn leaves
No-one saw us but the trees
Yeah, the trees
Those useless trees
Produce the air
That I am breathing
Yeah, the trees
Those useless trees
They never said
That you were leaving
I carved your name
With a heart just up above
Now swollen, distorted
Unrecognisable, like our love
You smell of leaf mould
And the sweetness of decay
Or the incense at the funeral procession here today
And the trees
Those useless trees
Produce the air
That I am breathing
Yeah, the trees
Those useless trees
They never said
That you were leaving
Ah
Try to shape the world to what you want the world to be
Carving your name a thousand times won't bring you back to me
Oh, no, I might as well
I might as well go tell it to the trees, yeah
Oh yeah, the trees
Those useless trees
Produce the air
That I am breathing
Yeah, the trees
Those useless trees
They never said
That you were leaving
Go and tell it to the trees, yeah
Go tell it to the trees, yeah
Go tell it to the trees, yeah
Go tell it to the trees, yeah
Go tell it to the trees, yeah

I Never Loved Anyone
I Never Loved Anyone
Composer(s): George "Funky" Brown
Performer(s): Steve Conway
and multiple other artists
I never loved anyone, any time, any place
With anything like the love I feel for you
I never saw anyone more than once, maybe twice
But I had no ties until my eyes saw you
I may have kissed one or two
Three or four, maybe more
But after all I didn’t fall
And who they were I can’t recall
For I never loved anyone, any time, any place
With anything like the love I feel for you
I may have kissed one or two
Three or four, maybe more
But after all I didn’t fall
And who they were I can’t recall
I never loved anyone, any time, any place
With anything like the love I feel for you
For everything that I love I find in you

Trees
Composer(s): Joyce Kilmer - Oscar Rasbach
First recording/First release: Isham Jones' Orch. - 1930
Covered by multiple other artists
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair
Upon whose bosom snow has lain
Who intimately lives with rain
Poems are made by fools like me
But only God can make a tree

First release by: Aretha Franklin - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
You're a no good heart breaker
You're a liar and you're a cheat
And I don't know why
I let you do these things to me
My friends keep telling me
That you ain't no good
But oh, they don't know
That I'd leave you if I could
I guess I'm uptight
And I'm stuck like glue
Cause I ain't never
I ain't never, I ain't never, no, no (loved a man)
(The way that I, I love you)
Some time ago I thought
You had run out of fools
But I was so wrong
You got one that you'll never lose
The way you treat me is a shame
How could ya hurt me so bad
Baby, you know that I'm the best thing
That you ever had
Kiss me once again
Don'cha never, never say that we we're through
Cause I ain't never
Never, Never, no, no (loved a man)
(The way that I, I love you)
I can't sleep at night
And I can't even fight
I guess I'll never be free
Since you got, your hooks, in me
Whoa, oh, oh
Yeah! Yeah!
I ain't never loved a man
I ain't never loved a man, baby
Ain't never had a man hurt me so bad
No
Well this is what I'm gonna do about it

Ma Come Fa La Gente Sola
((Adapted from: Eleanor Rigby (The Beatles) - 1966))
Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney - Gianna Albini
Performer(s): Adriano Celentano - 1986
Versions In Other Languages:
1966 - Eleonor Rigby (Erick Saint-Laurent)
1966 - Eleanor Rigby (Finnish Version) (Topmost)
La gente e sola
nelle stazioni ai giardini in chiesa e nei bar
e nelle scuole
la gente sola
cova i ricordi di lampade spente da un click
nei loro “tic”
Leggi i loro sguardi
che ti trapassano
questi loro sguardi
lanciano S.O.S.
Ma come fa la gente sola
a stare sola come fa…
Vivono in gabbie
di solitudine e poi si trasformar hi…
facce da “rugby”
E fanno rabbia
quando per ore rimettono dentro “I Juke-box”
“Eleonor Rigby”
Dimmi dove vanno
da dove vengono
questa gente sola
dimmi dove va
Ma come fa la gente sola
“Sola”
“Sola”
a stare sola come me…
“Sola”
Io sono solo
da poche ore ed ancora non sono un “Robot"
senza parole
E il marciapiede
si abbassa e se non ritomi fra poco sara
una palude
Leggi i loro sguardi
che ti trapassano
questi loro sguardi
lanciano S.O.S.
Ma come fa la gente sola
a stare sola come me
Dimmi dove vanno
da dove vengono
questa gente sola
sola come me
Ma come fa la gente sola

German Title: Wenn Ich Wüßte Wie Du Heißt
Composer(s): Paul Anka
Performer(s): Paul Anka
Although we've never, never danced
I loved you with just one glance
You were dancing, I was glancing
As you passed me on the floor
You saw me glancing but you kept dancing
Out of the room and through the door
I beg your pardon, but in the garden
He placed a flower in your hair
But when he kissed you, oh how I missed you
Wishing that I were there
Then I dreamed upon a star
Wishing I was where you are
How I thought the day would never come
And when I thought that I was first
All at once my bubble burst
And I was standing where I started from
To my regret dear, we've never met dear
But I love you just the same
Although we've never danced
I loved you with just one glance
And I never, no I never knew your name
(la-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la-laaa
la-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la la-la-la la-la-laaa)
To my regret dear, we've never met dear
But I love you just the same
Although we've never danced
I loved you with just one glance
And I never, no I never knew your name

la la-la-la la!)
