Enredado Entre Tu Pelo


Enredado Entre Tu Pelo
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero



Dentro de ti crece
un puente secreto
y a veces lo cruzo
y otras me detengo
y vivo
enredado entre tu pelo
Calles y ventanas
llevan a tu encuentro
a veces camino
a veces no puedo
y vivo
enredado entre tu pelo
Pájaros y alambres
veletas y vientos
ando patinando
en ríos de hielo
y vivo
enredado entre tu pelo

Il Testamento


Il Testamento
Composer(s): Fabrizio De André
First release by: Fabrizio De André - 1963



Quando la morte mi chiamerà
forse qualcuno protesterà
dopo aver letto nel testamento
quel che gli lascio in eredità
non maleditemi non serve a niente
tanto all'inferno ci sarò già
ai protettori delle battone
lascio un impiego da ragioniere
perché provetti nel loro mestiere
rendano edotta la popolazione
ad ogni fine di settimana
sopra la rendita di una puttana
ad ogni fine di settimana
sopra la rendita di una puttana
voglio lasciare a Bianca Maria
che se ne frega della decenza
un attestato di benemerenza
che al matrimonio le spiani la via
con tanti auguri per chi c'è caduto
di conservarsi felice e cornuto
con tanti auguri per chi c'è caduto
di conservarsi felice e cornuto
sorella morte lasciami il tempo
di terminare il mio testamento
lasciami il tempo di salutare
di riverire di ringraziare
tutti gli artefici del girotondo
intorno al letto di un moribondo
signor becchino mi ascolti un poco
il suo lavoro a tutti non piace
non lo consideran tanto un bel gioco
coprir di terra chi riposa in pace
ed è per questo che io mi onoro
nel consegnarle la vanga d'oro
ed è per questo che io mi onoro
nel consegnarle la vanga d'oro
per quella candida vecchia contessa
che non si muove più dal mio letto
per estirparmi l'insana promessa
di riservarle i miei numeri al lotto
non vedo l'ora di andar fra i dannati
per rivelarglieli tutti sbagliati
non vedo l'ora di andar fra i dannati
per rivelarglieli tutti sbagliati
quando la morte mi chiederà
di restituirle la libertà
forse una lacrima forse una sola
sulla mia tomba si spenderà
forse un sorriso forse uno solo
dal mio ricordo germoglierà
se dalla carne mia già corrosa
dove il mio cuore ha battuto un tempo
dovesse nascere un giorno una rosa
la do alla donna che mi offrì il suo pianto
per ogni palpito del suo cuore
le rendo un petalo rosso d'amore
per ogni palpito del suo cuore
le rendo un petalo rosso d'amore
a te che fosti la più contesa
la cortigiana che non si dà a tutti
ed ora all'angolo di quella chiesa
offri le immagini ai belli ed ai brutti
lascio le note di questa canzone
canto il dolore della tua illusione
a te che sei per tirare avanti
costretta a vendere Cristo e i santi
quando la morte mi chiamerà
nessuno al mondo si accorgerà
che un uomo è morto senza parlare
senza sapere la verità
che un uomo è morto senza pregare
fuggendo il peso della pietà
cari fratelli dell'altra sponda
cantammo in coro giù sulla terra
amammo tutti l'identica donna
partimmo in mille per la stessa guerra
questo ricordo non vi consoli
quando si muore si muore si muore soli
questo ricordo non vi consoli
quando si muore si muore soli

Motocicletta
10 HP
tutta cromata
è tua se dici sì
mi costa una vita
per niente la darei
ma ho il cuore malato
e so che guarirei

Non dire no

io so che ami un altro
ma che ci posso fare
io sono un disperato
perché ti voglio amare

Perché ti voglio amare

fra le tue braccia così
domani puoi dimenticare
ma adesso dimmi di si

mi basta il tempo di morire
fra le tue braccia cosi
domani puoi dimenticare
ma adesso dimmi di si

Il Tempo


Il Tempo
((English & French Versions: There Is A Time (Liza Minnelli); Le Temps (Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Calabrese
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Il tempo va il tempo tradisce
Il tempo vola, il tempo guarisce
I giorni sì, durati un secondo
I giorni no, più lunghi del mondo
Il tempo il tempo ad ogni costo
Il tuo e il mio, che non è nostro
Il tempo e il mio, che non è nostro
Il tempo che è di là da venire
Tempo di amare e di partire
Tempo di gioia e di speranza
Il tempo di sereno e vacanza
Il tempo il tempo ad ogni costo
Il tuo e il mio, che non è nostro
Il tempo il tempo ad ogni costo
Il tuo e il mio, che non è nostro
Il tempo di battaglie e di gloria
Tempo di noia, che va senza storia
Il tempo di canzoni e follie
Il tempo di promesse e utopie
I tempi miei in base altra vita
Il tempo di bruciare una vita

Il tempo si ad ogni costo
Che aspetta noi per essere nostro
Il tempo sì ad ogni costo
Che aspetta noi per essere nostro
E va...
Il tempo sì ad ogni costo
Il tuo e il mio
Che adesso è nostro
Il tempo sì ad ogni costo
Il tuo e il mio
Che adesso è nostro
E va...
E va...

English Rose


English Rose
Composer(s): Paul Weller First release: The Jam - 1978 Covered by multiple other artists



No matter where I roam
I will return to my English Rose
For no bonds can ever tempt me from she

I've sailed the seven seas
Flown the whole blue sky
But I've returned with haste
To where my love does lie
No matter where I go
I will come back to my English Rose
For nothing could ever tempt me from she

I've searched the secret mists
I've climbed the highest peaks
Caught the wild wind home
To hear her soft voice speak
No matter where I roam
I will return to my English Rose
For no bonds can ever keep me from she

I've been to ancient worlds
I've scoured the whole Universe
And caught the first train home
To be at her side
No matter where I roam
I will return to my English Rose
For no bonds, can ever keep me from she

Il Te Suffisait Que Je T'aime


Il Te Suffisait Que Je T'aime
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Nous avions vingt ans toi et moi
Quand on a sous le même toit
Combattu la misère ensemble
Nous étions encore presqu'enfants
Et l'on disait en nous voyant
Regardez comme ils se ressemblent

Nous avons la main dans la main
Surmonté les coups du destin
Et résolu bien des problèmes
Le ventre vide en privation
Tu te nourrissais d'illusions
Il te suffisait que je t'aime

Nous avons lutté tant d'années
Que la fortune s'est donnée
Mais l'âge a pris ton insouciance
Tu te traînes comme un fardeau
Et ne ris plus à tout propos
Et pleures ton adolescence

Et passes du matin au soir
Des heures devant ton miroir
Essayant des fards et des crèmes
Et moi, je regrette parfois
Le temps où pour forger tes joies
Il te suffisait que je t'aime

Si je le pouvais mon amour
Pour toi j'arrêterais le cours
Des heures qui vont et s'éteignent
Mais je ne peux rien y changer
Car je suis comme toi logé
Tu le sais à la même enseigne

Ne cultive pas les regrets
Car on ne récolte jamais
Que les sentiments que l'on sème
Fais comme au temps des années d'or
Et souviens-toi qu'hier encore
Il te suffisait que je t'aime

Pour moi rien n'a vraiment changé
Je n'ai pas cessé de t'aimer
Car tu as toujours tout le charme
Que tu avais ce jour béni
Où devant Dieu tu as dit: " oui "
Avec des yeux baignés de larmes

Le printemps passe, et puis l'été
Mais l'automne a des joies cachées
Qu'il te faut découvrir toi-même
Oublie la cruauté du temps
Et rappelle-toi qu'à vingt ans
Il te suffisait que je t'aime

English Muffins And Irish Stew


English Muffins And Irish Stew
Composer(s): Moose Charlap - Bob Hillard Performer(s): Sylvia Syms



You'd never think they go together
But they certainly do
The combination of English Muffins
And Irish Stew

I must admit they're quite delicious
And so easy to chew
The combination of English Muffins
And Irish Stew

I've tried macaroni and Spanish rice
That's not so very nice, that's not so very nice
I've tried French pancakes with German sauerkraut
Now that's one dish I do without!

You'd never think they go together
But they certainly do
The combination of English Muffins
And Irish Stew

The Mexican army is eating salami and onions from Peru
But it can't compare with English Muffins
And Irish Stew

Il Te Faut Grandir Encore


Il Te Faut Grandir Encore
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Tu commences l'existence mais déjà
Ton cœur pense que la chance sourira
Il te faut grandir encore pour savoir
Il te faut grandir encore pour savoir

Tu veux croire les histoires des amis
Ils sont rares, vraiment rares aujourd'hui
Il te faut grandir encore pour savoir
Il te faut grandir encore pour savoir

C'est ainsi, je te le dis
C'est ainsi qu'est faite la vie
Notre vie

Quand les heures où l'on pleure sonneront
Les je t'aime, les tu m'aimes t'apprendront
Qu'il te faut grandir encore pour savoir
Qu'il te faut grandir encore pour savoir
Qu'il te faut grandir encore pour savoir...

English Is Cuh-Ray-Zee


English Is Cuh-Ray-Zee
Composer(s): Richard Lederer Performer(s): Pete Seeger



English is the most widely spoken language in the history of the planet One out of every seven human beings can speak or read it Half the world's books, three-quarters of the international mail are in English It has the largest vocabulary, perhaps two million words And a noble body of literature But face it English is cuh-ray-zee! Just a few examples: There's no egg in eggplant, no pine or apple in pineapple Quicksand works slowly; boxing rings are square A writer writes, but do fingers fing? Hammers don't ham, grocers don't groce Haberdashers don't haberdash English is cuh-ray-zee! If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn't the plural of booth be beeth? It's one goose, two geese. Why not one moose, two meese? The plural of index is indices; should it be one Kleenex, two Kleenices? English is cuh-ray-zee! You can comb through the annals of history, but not just one annal You can make amends, but not just one amend If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one, is it an odd or an end? If the teacher taught, why isn't it true that a preacher praught? If you wrote a letter, did you also bote your tongue? And if a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? English is cuh-ray-zee! Why is it that night falls but never breaks and day breaks but never falls? In what other language do people drive on the parkway and park on the driveway? Ship by truck but send cargo by ship? Recite at a play but play at a recital? Have noses that run and feet that smell? English is cuh-ray-zee! How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same When a wise man and a wise guy are very different? To overlook something and to oversee something are very different But quite a lot and quite a few are the same How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next? English is cuh-ray-zee! You have to marvel at the lunacy of a language in which your house can burn down While it is burning up You fill out a form by filling it in In which your alarm clock goes off by going on If pro is the opposite of con, what is the opposite of progress? Well, English was invented by people, not computers And reflects the creativity of the human race So that's why when the stars are out, they're visible But when the lights are out, they're invisible When I wind up my watch I start it, but when I wind up this rap, I end it English is cuh-ray-zee!

Il Te Faudra Bien Revenir


Il Te Faudra Bien Revenir
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Il te faudra bien revenir
Un jour du moins je le suppose
Afin de rassembler les choses
Que tu as laissées en partant
Il te faudra bien revenir
Un court moment sur les lieux mêmes
Où vivent toujours nos je t'aime
Et c'est ce moment que j'attends
Que j'attends
Mes mains parlent de toi
Comme en parlent mes lèvres
Comme en parle mon coeur
Que le destin foudroie
Comme en parlent mes joies
Que ton absence enfièvre
Car ton départ les sèvres
De tout ce qui n'est plus toi

Il te faudra bien revenir
Pour me conter ce que j'ignore
Je ne sais si tu m'aimes encore
Tu es partie sans m'expliquer
Il te faudra bien revenir
Et quand tu passeras la porte
Le passé sera lettre morte
Je ferai tout pour te garder
Ma peau pleure frisson
Comme pleure ma bouche
Comme pleurent mes nuits
Prises à ton tourbillon
Poussés par la passion
Mes doigts froissent et touchent
Le vide de ma bouche
Tandis que je crie ton nom

Mon coeur meurtri de souvenirs
Supporte mal la solitude
Pour le sauver de l'inquiétude
Il te faudra bien revenir
Il te faudra bien revenir

I'll tell you now of some that I know And those I miss you'll surely pardon Fireflies, moths and bees Spiders climbing in the trees Butterflies that sway on the cool gentle breeze Their are snakes, ants that sting And creeping things In an English country garden (In an English country garden) How many songbirds fly to and fro Through our English country garden? I'll tell you now of some that I know And those I miss you'll surely pardon Bobolink, cuckoo and quail Tanager and cardinal Bluebird, lark, thrush and nightingale There is joy in the spring When the birds begin to sing In an English country garden (In an English country garden) Robin (Robin, robin) Don't forget the robin (Don't forget the robin) Robin (Robin, robin) Don't forget the robin...

Il Suffit De Passer Le Pont


Il Suffit De Passer Le Pont
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
Performer(s): Georges Brassens



Il suffit de passer le pont
C'est tout de suite l'aventure
Laisse-moi tenir ton jupon
J't'emmèn' visiter la nature
L'herbe est douce à Pâques fleuries
Jetons mes sabots, tes galoches
Et, légers comme des cabris
Courons après les sons de cloches
Ding din don! les matines sonnent
En l'honneur de notre bonheur
Ding din dong! faut l'dire à personne
J'ai graissé la patte au sonneur

Laisse-moi tenir ton jupon
Courons, guilleret, guillerette
Il suffit de passer le pont
Et c'est le royaum' des fleurettes
Entre tout's les bell's que voici
Je devin' cell' que tu préfères
C'est pas l'coqu'licot, Dieu merci
Ni l'coucou, mais la primevère
J'en vois un' blottie sous les feuilles
Elle est en velours comm' tes joues
Fais le guet pendant qu'je la cueille
"Je n'ai jamais aimé que vous"

Il suffit de trois petits bonds
C'est tout de suit' la tarantelle
Laisse-moi tenir ton jupon
J'saurai ménager tes dentelles
J'ai graissé la patte au berger
Pour lui fair' jouer une aubade
Lors, ma mie, sans croire au danger
Faisons mille et une gambades
Ton pied frappe et frappe la mousse
Si l'chardon s'y pique dedans
Ne pleure pas, ma mie qui souffre
Je te l'enlève avec les dents

On n'a plus rien à se cacher
On peut s'aimer comm' bon nous semble
Et tant mieux si c'est un péché
Nous irons en enfer ensemble
Il suffit de passer le pont
Laisse-moi tenir ton jupon

English Boy
Composer(s): Pete Townshend Performer(s): Pete Townshend



Ruth: Hello, Ruth Streeting here once again with "Streeting's Street" where you get the word straight from the street This is the show that dishes the dirt on the dirt Strictly no rock star bullshit on my show I don't review pop anymore, I talk about anything I like ... or anything I hate Talking of which, remember that clapped-out 60's hell-raiser Ray High? Rumour has it the sad old lush can't do it anymore ... I mean "make records" I'm an English boy I was brought up right Hold me down And I will bite I know no fear I serve with joy I'm proud to be here An English boy I feel like a stray dog Blurred like a movie You say you've come to arrest me But you're just trying to test me I'm bored with your prejudice Spreading like a fever Your promises to train me Are just attempts to restrain me I am an English boy Precisely made You can pin me down I am not afraid I show no fear I will serve with joy Proud to be here An English boy Use me like a headline Cut pieces to pieces I'm black on the tube line Red on the touch-line Freezing up the future Stopping every stop-watch You say we're moving like an oil slick Thicker than a house brick I'm an English boy I was brought up right If you raise your dress Then I will bite My voice is clear I got perfect poise Good to be down here With all the English boys And I don't know where I am now Or where I'm gonna go I keep going round and round on the circle line Like some demented kind of commuter Trying to avoid paying for my ticket I'm a lost soul I read about myself in the newspapers I'm a pig I'm a thug I've got nowhere to go but down Ruth: I hear his manager, Rastus Knight, is pulling what's left of his hair out The only thing Ray's writing these days are large checks to his booze merchants He's a serious recluse now Hasn't seen daylight or another woman since his old lady walked out two years ago Poor little sausage, brooding in that twenty-two room glass mansion Life's a bitch, and so am I Feel like I'm kicking at a dead man Kicking in the chorus I'm broken by hatred While politicians just ignore us You never gave me any value You didn't give me any reason There's no tools, and no toys For any English boy I'm an English boy I was brought up right Hold me down And I will bite Know no fear I will serve with joy Proud to be here An English boy, yeah! I'm an English boy, yeah! I'm an English boy I'm an English boy No tools, no toys for any English boys English boy English boy

Il Suffirait


Il Suffirait
Composer(s): Nicolas Peyrac
Performer(s): Nicolas Peyrac



Il suffirait d'une colombe
D'un peu de tendresse oubliée
D'un retard de quelques secondes
Dans le cours de l'éternité
Il suffirait que Dieu le père
Celui qui se fait tant prier
Retombe amoureux de la Terre
Comme Adam devant le pommier
Il suffirait qu'une rivière
Décide un beau jour pour changer
De se promener solitaire
Dans la rivière d'à côté
Il suffirait que tu me dises
Que ce serait folie d'essayer
Pour que je fasse la bêtise
De crier à l'Humanité

L'amour pourrait changer le monde
Ne sois jamais désenchanté
Quand l'aigle épouse la colombe
La Terre se remet à tourner
Les hommes pourraient changer le monde
Il ne suffit pas de prier
Quand l'aigle épouse la colombe
C'est que tout peut recommencer

Il suffirait que tu reviennes
Planter le maïs et le blé
Que ta main étreigne la mienne
Comme l'amitié retrouvée
Il suffirait que tu la chantes
Celle qu'on nomme liberté
Pour que peu à peu tu inventes
Les monts qu'on voudrait oublier

L'amour pourrait changer le monde
Ne sois jamais désenchanté
Quand l'aigle épouse la colombe
La Terre se remet à tourner
Les hommes pourraient changer le monde
Il ne suffit pas de prier
Quand l'aigle épouse la colombe
C'est que tout peut recommencer

Il suffirait d'une colombe
D'un peu de sagesse oubliée
D'un pardon de quelques secondes
D'une blessure refermée
Il suffirait de peu de choses
Bien peu de choses en vérité
Pour que les paupières mi closes
Demain tu m'écoutes chanter

L'amour pourrait changer le monde
Ne sois jamais désenchanté
Quand l'aigle épouse la colombe
La Terre se remet à tourner
Les hommes pourraient changer le monde
Il ne suffit pas de prier
Quand l'aigle épouse la colombe
C'est que tout peut recommencer

Il Sole Verde Tornerà


Il Sole Verde Tornerà ((English & French Versions: The Happy Days (by Charles Aznavour); Les Jours Heureux (by Charles Aznavour)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Vito Pallavicini Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Non appena il mondo gira
E il tuo cuore scopre già la miseria
E diventa color sangue
La ragione che non ha più pietà
Quando i lupi vanno insieme
Ed impari che cos'è la cattiveria
Fa grondare la rivolta
Pensa che io sono qui qui con te

Ritornerà la verità
Il sole verde tornerà
Ritornerà il giorno in cui
Si capirà
Il fuoco più non scotterà
E l'esperienza ci darà
Dei giorni bianchi e verrà
La felicità

Dorme la tua fattoria
E gli utensili son là nel granaio
Sta bruciando tutto il grano
Nei pensieri caldi che hai con te
Nel tuo cuore un odio strano
Ma non è che tu lo vuoi per viltà
Fammi stringere la mano
E così tu soffrirai la metà

Dopo il vento e la tempesta
Quando il sole tornerà sopra i campi
Quando vento nella testa
Le tue piaghe guarirò se vorrai
Con i piedi sopra il mondo
Se la guerra si farà ma per gioco
Tu sarai un mezzo Dio
E godrai la libertà che verrà

England Swings


England Swings
Composer(s): Roger Miller First release: Roger Miller - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists



England swings like a pendulum do
Bobbies on bicycles, two by two
Westminster Abbey the tower of Big Ben
The rosy red cheeks of the little children

Now, if you huff and puff and you fina'lly save enough
Money up to take your family on a trip across the sea
Take a tip before you take your trip; let me tell you where to go
Go to Engeland
Oh

Mama's old pajamas and your papa's mustache
Falling out the window sill, frolic in the grass
Tryin' to mock the way they talk fun but all in vain
Gaping at the dapper men with derby hats and canes

Il Sole Del Mattino


Il Sole Del Mattino
Performer(s): Claudio Villa



Luci azzurrate sulla mia poltrona
nel jet che sta voltando
nel buio che sta intorno
io vedo solo te
ma questa notte lenta come il tempo
pian piano impallidisce
s'incendia l'orizzonte
e sorge il sole

Sole, sole del mattino
tu che già la stai baciando
dille che io sto volando
fra le nubi bianche
per tornar da lei
Sole, sole del mattino
dalle un bacio sulle labbra
dille che io sto tornando
e che il mio cuore
già è vicino a lei

Sole, sole del mattino
tu che già la stai baciando
dille che io sto volando
fra le nubi bianche
per tornar da lei
Sole, sole del mattino
dalle un bacio sulle labbra
dille che io sto tornando
e che il mio cuore
già è vicino a lei
e che il mio cuore
è già vicino a lei
