Een Beetje Tederheid


Een Beetje Tederheid
((Adapted from: Try A Little Tenderness (Ray Noble and His Orch.) - 1932/1933))
Composer(s): Harold Woods - Jimmy Campbell - Reginald Connelly - Raymond van Het Groenewoud
Performer(s): Raymond van Het Groenewoud - 1998
Oh, ze mag dan triest zijn
En meisjes, ze kunnen triest zijn
Stervend van plotse eenzaamheid
Maar wanneer ze triest is
Probeer een beetje tederheid
Je weet, ze zit te wachten
Vruchteloos zit ze te smachten
Naar de diepste, diepste, diepste geborgenheid
Maar terwijl ze zit te wachten
Ga naar haar en geef een beetje tederheid
Nee, nee, nee, dit is geen domme smartlap, oh, nee
Het is pijn, niemand voelt haar aan
En één lief woordje, zacht voor haar gesproken
Dat maakt het draaglijker, draaglijker in haar bestaan
Het zal je niet berouwen, o nee
Ze zal het steeds onthouden
Liefde, dat is hun hele zaligheid
En eigenlijk, ‘t is al zo simpel
Al wat je moet doen
Dat is geven, ja geven
Een beetje, een beetje tederheid
Je moet haar helpen, strelen, verwarmen, omarmen
Ga naar haar, oh, en geef een beetje tederheid
Ja ja, ze heeft het nodig, ze heeft het nodig
Luister naar mij
Je moet haar helpen, strelen, verwarmen, omarmen
Ga naar haar, zachtjes, oh, en geef een beetje tederheid
Ah, niemand, niemand ziet haar graag!
Oh, luister
Je moet haar helpen, strelen, verwarmen, omarmen
Ga! Ga dan toch! Ga!
En geef een beetje tederheid
Oh, helpen, helpen

I Still See Elisa


I Still See Elisa
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
Performer(s): Clint Eastwood
and multiple other artists
I still see Elisa
She keeps on returning
As breathless, young as ever
I still see Elisa
And still feel the yearning
To hold her against me again
Her heart was made of holidays
Her smile was made of dawn
Her laughter was an April song
That echoes on and on
Since I saw Elisa
The shadows are falling
And winter is calling above
But I still see Elisa
Whenever I dream of love

Eh Ben


Eh Ben
((Adapted from: Hey There (John Raitt) - 1954))
((Danish Version: Hey There (Gustav Winckler) - 1964))
Composer(s): Jerry Ross - Richard Adler - A. Lesser
Performer(s): Dalida - 1956
Eh ben!
Toi qui te croyais si forte
Toi qui semblais si sur de toi
Qu'es ce qu'il t'arrive là
Eh ben!
Voila que soudain tu t'emportes
Et tu te vois déjà dans ses bras
Lui qui n'a pas un regard pour toi
Allons oublie le
Lui et son rire dans les yeux
Lui qui s'amuse avec ton cœur
Lui et ses airs vainqueur
Tu n'y vois donc plus clair
Tu n'es donc plus sur terre
Je voudrais que tu te réveilles
Mais je vois bien que mes conseils
Dés qu'ils entrent par une oreille
S'en vont par l'autre
Tu n'y vois donc plus clair
Tu n'es donc plus sur terre
Je voudrais que tu te réveilles
Mais je vois bien que mes conseils
Dés qu'ils entrent par une oreille
S'en vont par l'autre

Try A Little Kindness


Try A Little Kindness
Composer(s): Bobby Austin - Curt Sapaugh
First release: Glen Campbell - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
If you see your brother standing by the road
With a heavy load from the seeds he's sowed
And if you see your sister falling by the way
Just stop and stay you're going the wrong way
You got to try a little kindness
Yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets
Don't walk around the down and out
Lend a helping hand instead of doubt
And the kindness that you show every day
Will help someone along their way
You got to try a little kindness
Yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets
You got to try a little kindness
Yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets

I Still Remember


I Still Remember
Composer(s): Gary Numan
Performer(s): Gary Numan
So you’ve gone
Singing some old love song
I’ve nothing more to lose
I’m surrounded
By old stories
With nowhere to hide
I could tear
All your pictures
I could tear everything
You told me
Time makes it easy but you
Never told me time stands still
I can’t believe it
I can’t believe how it hurts
I can’t believe it
I can’t believe how love burns away
I remember
I can’t sleep
All your words
Seem to let me down
Where are you
Why don’t you call
It’s been a long long time
I still remember
I still remember it all
I still remember
I still remember how love burned away
This could be
My last song
Everything must end some day

Egyptland


Egyptland
Performer(s): Bartley Costello - W. Casey
Drift o'ver the sun kissed desert
Stop where the old Nile flows
There's where my heart is roaming
There's where I left my rose
Pretty as Cleopatra, mild as the summer breeze
Egypt I dwell in your land
Tho' far across the seas
To pyramids and sand dunes
Wonders of puny man
Nightly with joy I wander
In a dream caravan
Seated high on my camel
Free as the very air
But I wake from dreaming
And sigh that I'm not there
Egypt land
Land of my river Nile
Life with you made living well worth while
Egypt land, keep the rose I left there faithful
And I'll be true
To you my Egypt land

Truth About Romeo
Truth About Romeo
Performer(s): David Crosby
Well, it comes down to this
She's caught on to the clues now
He's got the news
He understands
She's not all wrapped up in the palm of his hand
Juliet, she won't come down
Her head's high in the castle
Her heart's underground
It's as if, she didn't know
The truth about Romeo
The truth about Ro-o-Romeo

I Still Miss Someone


I Still Miss Someone
Composer(s): Roy Cash Jr.; Johnny Cash
First release by: Johnny Cash - 1958
Covered by multiple other artists
At my door the leaves are falling
A cold wild wind has come
Sweethearts walk by together
And I still miss someone
I go out on a party
And look for a little fun
But I find a darkened corner
because I still miss someone
Oh, no I never got over those blues eyes
I see them every where
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there
I wonder if she's sorry
For leaving what we'd begun
There's someone for me somewhere
And I still miss someone

Eggs And Sausage (In A Cadillac With Susan Michelson)


Eggs And Sausage (In a Cadillac With Susan Michelson)
Composer(s): Tom Waits
Performer(s): Tom Waits
Nighthawks at the diner
Emma's 49er
There's a rendezvous of strangers
Around the coffee urn tonight
All the gypsy hacks and the insomniacs
Now the paper's been read
Now the waitress said
Eggs and sausage and a side of toast
Coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy
Chile in a bowl with burgers and fries
What kind of pie?
It's a graveyard charade it's a late shift masquerade
And it's 2 for a quarter, dime for a dance
Woolworth rhinestone diamond earrings and a sideway's glance
Now the register rings
Now the waitress sings
Eggs and sausage and a side of toast
Coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy
Chile in a bowl with burgers and fries
What kind of pie?
The classified section offers no direction
It's a cold caffeine in a nicotine cloud
Now the touch of your fingers
Lingers burning in my memory
I've been 86ed from your scheme
Now I'm in a melodramatic nocturnal scene
Now I'm a refugee from a disconcerted affair
Now the lead pipe morning fall
Now the waitress call
Eggs and sausage, now a side of toast
Coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy
Chile in a bowl with burgers and fries
And now what kind of pie?
À la mode if you will
Just come in and join the crowd
Have some time to kill
See I just come in to join the crowd
Have some time to kill
Just come in to join the crowd
'Cause I have some time to kill

Trusting My Luck


Trusting My Luck
Composer(s): Arthur Johnston - Maurice Sigler
Performer(s): Jessie Matthews
Pardon me if I seem optimistic
Excuse me please if I seem light and gay
For, you see, I have a few suspicions
That everything will turn out quite OK
And so I’m trusting my luck I’ve got my fingers crossed
I’ve got a hunch my honeybunch cares for me
I’m trusting my luck true love is never lost
I’ve got a heart and he’s got the lock and key
I’m getting my keepsake
On the honeymoon sweepstake
So whenever my luck breaks
It better be good, knock on wood
I’m trusting my luck, I’ll keep my fingers crossed
And almost guarantee
That my honeybunch cares for me
And so I’m trusting my luck I’ve got my fingers crossed
I’ve got a hunch my honeybunch cares for me
I’m trusting my luck true love is never lost
I’ve got a heart and he’s got the lock and key
I’m getting my keepsake
On the honeymoon sweepstake
So whenever my luck breaks
It better be good, knock on wood
I’m trusting my luck, I’ll keep my fingers crossed
And almost guarantee
That my honeybunch cares for me

I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For


I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
Composer(s): Bono; The Edge; Adam Clayton; Larry Mullen
First release by: U2 - 1987
Covered by multiple other artists
I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well yes I'm still running
You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believed it
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for...

Effigy


Effigy
((Finnish Version: Kuvatus (Kari Peitsamo Revival) - 1983))
Composer(s): J.C. Fogerty - 1969
First release: Creedence Clearwater Revival
Last night
I saw a fire burning on
The palace lawn
O'er the land
The humble subjects watched in mixed
Emotion
Who is burnin'?
Who is burnin'?
Effigy
Who is burnin'?
Who is burnin'?
Effigy
Last night
I saw the fire spreadin' to
The palace door
Silent majority
Weren't keepin' quiet
Anymore
Who is burnin'?
Who is burnin'?
Effigy
Who is burnin'?
Who is burnin'?
Effigy
Last night
I saw the fire spreadin' to
The country side
In the mornin'
Few were left to watch
The ashes die
Who is burnin'?
Who is burnin'?
Effigy
Who is burnin'?
Who is burnin'?
Effigy
Why?
Why?
Why?
Effigy

Trust In Me
Composer(s): Ned Wever - Arthur Schwartz - Milton Ager
Performer(s): Mildred Bailey
and multiple other artists
Come to me without more speculation
Have no fear, give me your hand, my dear...
Trust in me in all you do
Have the faith I have in you
Love will see us through
If only you trust in me
Come to me when things go wrong
Cling to me and I'll be strong
We can get along
As long as you trust in me
While there's a moon on high
While there's a bird to fly
While there's a you and I
You can be sure I love you
Stand beside me all the while
Face the future with a smile
Trust in me and
I'll be worthy of you

I Still Have That Other Girl


I Still Have That Other Girl
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Elvis Costello
Performer(s): Elvis Costello; Burt Bacharach; Bill Frisell
I have to say that we should finish it now
Before we weaken ’cause we already know this is wrong
I could give in, sometimes I think that I will
Despite the temptation I try to be very strong
In my reluctance seems a surprise
It’s not ’cause I don’t want you
But I just
Know I must... hesitate
Because I still have that other girl
In my head
I still have that other girl in my head
There may be ugly rumors that
I have been lying
There may be angry tears, but
They’re never worth the crying
That is why
Sometimes I... hesitate
Because I still have that other girl
In my head
I still have that other girl in my head
I still have that other girl in my head

Effeuille-Moi Le Coeur
Composer(s): Johnny Rech - Bernard Ilous
Performer(s): Françoise Hardy
Effeuille-moi le cœur
Je me ferai fleur
Et tu seras jardinier
Effeuille-moi
Au lit de ton jardin
Je voudrai vivre l'éternité
Effeuille-moi le cœur
Arrête les heures
Sur l'histoire de notre amour
Effeuille-moi
Au lit de notre vie
Effeuille-moi
Et ce jusqu'au lever du jour
Protège-moi du vent, mon amour
Protège-moi du temps
Protège le encore et longtemps
Cet amour
Effeuille-moi le cœur
Tant pis si j'en meure
Tant mieux si c'est de tes doigts
Effeuille-moi
Au lit des souvenirs
Effeuille-moi
Encore une fois
Effeuille-moi le cœur
Et sèche les pleurs
Qui me viennent les jours d'ennui
Effeuille-moi
Au lit de notre amour
Effeuille-moi
Et ce jusqu'à la fin de jour

Truly Julie's Blues (I'll Be There)


Truly Julie's Blues (I'll Be There)
Performer(s): Bob Lind
When you're thirsty and no one will fill your cup for you
And your well-dressed friends don't want you on their street
When you are so far down, the gutter looks like up to you
I will still be knealing at your feet
I will still be knealing at your feet
When you can't remember where you left your laughter
And you forget the definition of your name
When your yesterday sets fire to your ever after
I'll reach down and pull you from the flames
I'll reach down and pull you from the flames
When all the crippled children you give strength too
Lay their crutches down and walk away
And you realise that all their Mothers hate you
I'll be there to hear the things you say
I'll be there to hear the things you say
When at last your bitter problems all ignore you
And you've come out clean, everything is done
And you realise I've been through it all before you
Come down and walk beside me in the sun
Come down and walk beside me in the sun

I Still Have Dreams


I Still Have Dreams
Composer(s): Billy Batshore
Performer(s): Richie Furay
You can find me
When you need me
I'll be around
You're still on my mind
But I guess until
This feeling leaves me
I'm all alone
On the other side
Well I still have dreams
Where you still love me
That probably comes
As a surprise
But those dreams
Seem so foolish
When I remember the day
You walked right by
Is this good-bye
I'll never know why
We never talked
At all about it
I don't know why
Don't know whose fault
Soon I'll be gone
And for a long time
And too far gone
To work it all out
Well I still have dreams
Where you still love me
That probably comes
As a surprise
But those dreams
Seem so foolish
When I remember the day
You walked right by
When I remember the day
You walked right by

El Otoño Es Mas Gris en Lujan


El Otoño Es Mas Gris en Lujan
Performer(s): Horacio Guarany
El otoño es más gris en Luján
Poesía en los techos sin luz
Hay que ver los naranjos en flor
conqueteándole a la Cruz del Sur
Un racimo de lunas allá, lejos...
Busca al río y lo besa de azul, cielo...
Y en las Torres de la Catedral
¡Estas tú! ¡Estas tú! ¡Estas tú...!
Cantarina la brisa en Luján
juguetea en la plaza Colón
Crepitando su magia el fogón
hacia Las Casuarinas me voy
Sin guitarra te puedo cantar, siempre...
Sin tu boca te puedo besar hondo...
Porque dentro de mi alma y mi voz
Estas tú! Estas tú! Estas tú...!
Tengo una canción para tu almohada
¡Voz y piel! ¡Voz y piel!
Soy un pino alerce, una arbolada
¡Casi un Dios! ¡Casi un Dios!
Como una paloma luz de luna te amaré
sangre de mi sangre en las orejas de tu sed
pampa de mi pampa, sueño sur, jazmín azul
¡Solo tú! ¡Solo tú! ¡Solo tú...!
El otoño es más gris en Luján
amarillo y violeta de mar
campanario que en su repicar
llora el verde de la catedral
Mil colores me inundan la voz
¡Viento!
Si te hablara de olvido y de adiós, miento
todos saben que en mi corazón
¡Estas tú! ¡Estas tú! ¡Estas tú...!
El tumulto de la procesión
empapada llovizna de fe
cobijándome bajo el ombú
te contemplo y deseo a la vez
Se desangra en el río otro dios, ciego...
No es el dios que en tus ojos me dio celos
Mas allá de los dioses y el sol
¡Estás tú! ¡Estás tú! ¡Estás tú...!
