Jamais Plus Je Ne Volerai
Jamais Plus Je Ne Volerai
(Adapted from: I Will Go Sailing No More - 1995)
Composer(s): Randy Newman; Charlélie Couture
Performer(s): Charlélie Couture - 1995
Sous les étoiles je chante
Au delà des lunes
Dans mon grand vaisseau d’argent
Le rêve s’achève
Je sais bien sur, qui je suis
Et pourquoi je suis là
Mais jamais plus je ne volerai
Non, c’est impossible
Après tout, bien sur
Si je voulais, je pourrais m’envoler
Pourtant jamais plus je ne volerai

(I Want A) Rock And Roll Guitar
(I Want A) Rock And Roll Guitar
Composer(s): J.P. Richardson
Performer(s): Johnny Preston
A ho ho ho......
It was the night before Christmas and everthing was real quiet
So I thought I'd take myself a little walk at Christmas Eve Night
I was makin' it on down the street
when to my surprise I saw this little bitty cat with big old tears in his eyes
Now I could see he was standin' in front of this music store and looked real brought down
I could hear what he was sayin'
he didn't know I was around...he say.....
I want a rock an' roll guitar
With a big bass string
I want a rock an' roll guitar
So I can play the thing
I wanna be on t.v.
Like a rock an' roll star
I want Santa Claus to bring me
A rock an' roll guitar
Ha ha ha.....
So-a I walked over to him-a 'cause I understand
I, I thought I'd cheer him up so I say
"Look-a-here little man
A-you don't want no rock an' roll guitar
you want a six gun like the Lone Ranger has
so you can run around sayin'-a hi ho Silver, Kimo sabe, and all that cowboy jazz
Or how would you like old Santa to bring you a little dump truck
so you could go around a-dumpin' things".....
And he say, "Man, I don't want no dumptruck
I want somethin' that swings".....He say.....
I want a rock an' roll guitar
With a big bass string
I want a rock an' roll guitar
So I can play that thing
I wanna be on t.v.
Like a rock an' roll star
I want Santa Claus to bring me
A rock an' roll guitar
Ha, ha, wait a minute there, wait a minute, hold on, hold on I say
I say, hold on there little fellow
ah why don't you be like the little chicks and cats
and wish for a space helmet or a rocketship or something wild like that?
And you know what he say?
He say.....
"Look here dad, I don't want no plane or no train or nothin' square like that
that ain't the lick for me
When I awake this whole place is gonna shake
'cause you know what I want under my Christmas tree!"....He say.....
I want a rock an' roll guitar
With a big bass string
I want a rock an' roll guitar
So I can play the thing
I wanna be on t.v.
Like a rock an' roll star
I want Santa Claus to bring me
A rock an' roll guitar
Ho ho ho, crazy little fellow, crazy, yeah, say...

Composer(s): John Rox
Performer(s): Captain & Tennille;
and various other artists
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don't want a doll
No dinky tinker toy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Clause will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door
That's the easy thing to do
I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles
No rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too
Mom says the hippo would eat me up
But then teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian
There's lots of room for him in our two car garage
I'd feed him and wash him there
And give him his massage
I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles
No rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too

Performer(s): Ringo Starr
I wanna be Santa Claus
I wanna get all the toys
Just like Santa Claus I'd give them away
To all the girls and boys
Then, if I could be Santa Claus
Coming through for everyone
And the gifts that I'd bring could make your heart sing
We'd have so much fun
Santa Claus is someone who comes once a year
But I could be there every day, bringing Christmas cheer
I wanna be Santa Claus
I wanna ride in the sleigh
Then I'd fly through the air
And catch a star tonight for Christmas Day
Santa Claus is someone who comes once a year
But I could be there every day, bringing Christmas cheer
If I could be Santa Claus
I'd make every dream come true
And sign every card exactly the same
With love from me to you, ooh

Pablo De Paja
Pablo De Paja
Composer(s): Fernando Ubiergo
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo
Ella sonríe dorada de sol
Arena blanca y olas de cartón
Tiene mirada de "cómprame dos"
y entre sus manos un sueño de latón
Tras la autopista y desde un trigal
Pablo la mira, la quiere alcanzar
Enamorado, tan flaco que está
Bajo su abrigo el viento soplará
... Y lloverá, los autos pasarán
Después una mirada atraviesa la humedad
Y en el camino quedan dos
Dándose besos de vapor
Como fantasmas en la oscuridad
Sintiendo amor
Pablo de paja, niña de lata
En la carretera treinta y dos
Todo era hermoso hasta que un camión
Trajo un letrero de aceite super oil
Y la muñeca del "cómprame dos"
Sacrificada en trocitos de cartón
Tras la autopista y desde el trigal
Pablo la mira, no la puede ayudar
Desesperado la quiere alcanzar
Espantapájaros, se queda en su lugar
... Y llorará, los pájaros vendrán
Después un viento bueno
Su sombrero hará volar
Y en el camino eran dos
Dándose besos de vapor
Como fantasmas en la oscuridad
Sintiendo amor
Pablo de paja, niña de lata
En la carretera treinta y dos

Composer(s): Christopher Cross
First release by: Christopher Cross - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists
Well, it's not far down to paradise, at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Believe me
It's not far to never-never land, no reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Believe me
Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Fantasy, it gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie, every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me?
Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Well it's not far back to sanity, at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find serenity
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Believe me
Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

Pa' Trabajar
Pa' Trabajar
Composer(s): Fito Páez
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
El alma hace al cuerpo
El cuerpo al hombre
La lengua a sus palabras
Y así arruinamos todo de un principio
Sin querer decirnos nada
Jugamos a agitar las multitudes
En las plazas y en los barrios
Habrá que afiliarse a algún partido
Como comprar ciertos diarios
Si bien debemos empezar de nuevo
Aprendamos del pasado ...
El lobo siempre se come al cordero
Si éste se queda sentado
El hombre es el espejo de sus actos
No importa, las lágrimas húmedas se secarán
Tejiendo en el mañana una sonrisa
Que ayude pa' trabajar
Que ayude pa' trabajar
Hoy somos como un árbol en invierno
Desprovisto de hojas verdes
Hoy somos el futuro acumulado
En la verede de enfrente
Hoy somos el fruto de la cosecha
La semilla adolecente
Tenemos una casa tan, tan grande
Y cada uno en su kiosco
A ver si un día de estos la miramos
Para ver si no es de otro
A ver si un día de estos la miramos
Nos veremos a nosotros
El hombre es espejo ...

Covered by multiple other artists
There's a lady in a turban
In a cocaine tree
And she does a dance so rhythmically
There's a crying and a singing
Wouldn't have any time
But don't that cocaine tree look fine
But you gotta put on your sailin' shoes
Put on your sailin' shoes
Everyone will start to cheer
When you put on your sailin' shoes
Girl doctor doctor
I feel so bad
This is the worst day I've ever had
Said happiness and misery
Misery very long time
Coz if you if I lay you on the line
But you gotta put on your sailin' shoes
Put on your sailin' shoes
Everyone will hip hooray
When you put on your sailin' shoes
Jedidah
He's got a dime
says he catches more fish every time
Well I've gotta line
If you've got a pole
Well I'll meet you at the fishing hole
But you gotta put on your sailin' shoes
Put on your sailin' shoes
Everyone will start to cheer
When you put on your sailin' shoes
Said, everyone put on
Put on your sailin' shoes

Pa' Todo El Año
Pa' Todo El Año
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez;
and various other artists
Por tu amor que tanto quiero
Y tanto extraño
Que me sirvan otra copa y muchas mas
Que me sirvan de una vez pa' todo el año
Que me pienso seriamente enborrachar
Si te cuentan que vieron muy borracho
Orgullosamente diles que es por ti
Porque yo tendre el valor de no negarlo
Gritare que por tu amor me estoy matando
Y sabran que por tus besos me perdi
Para de hoy en adelante
Ya el amor no me interesa
Cantare por todo el mundo
Mi dolor y mi tristeza
Porque se que de este golpe
Ya no voy a levantarme
Y aunque yo no lo quisiera
Voy a morirme de amor ...
Porque yo tendre el valor de no negarlo ...

Sailin' Home
Sailin' Home
Composer(s): Nockovic; Parfitt; Tucakovic
Performer(s): Demis Roussos
Sailin' home across the ocean
Sailin' home, we're goin' to be free
Down below the crew's in motion
To defy the violence of the sea
Feelin' young, feelin' strong
At the height of the fight
So nothin' can go wrong
We know we always wanna be fightin' the sea
The giant waves are rollin' higher
It's gonna be a cold and rainy night
The hands on deck are raw and tired
Prayin' for a sign of distant light
Feelin' young and feelin' strong
And the might of the night
Is pounding dark and long
We know we always wanna be fightin' the sea
But there's the light and there's the fire
The harbour quay shines dimly on the shore
We can see the steeple's spire
And now we know we won the fight once more
Feelin' young and feelin' strong
And tonight came out right
Tomorrow could be wrong
We know we always wanna be fightin' the sea
So young, so strong, so hard and long
Feeling young and feeling strong
And tonight came out right
But tomorrow could be wrong
We know we always wanna be fightin' the sea
(Sailing home across the ocean)
(Sailing home, going to be free) Going to be free
(So young, so hard, so hard ...)

Det glada som hänt
Den lycka vi känt
Beror på att ``söcken''
Till helgdag blir vänt!
På söndag, på söndag, på söndag!
Oh, vi går genom staden
Av blommor och sten
Och tar promenaden
Igenom allén
Sen åker vi väl
I en karusell
Vi önskar det aldrig den dagen blev kväll!
Oh, vi önskar, vi önskar vareviga dag
Var söndag, var söndag, var söndag
En ballong! (Det har vi inte råd med)
En ballong! (Nej jag har inga pengar)
Låt'en få en ballong, en enda gång!
Oh, vareviga da'
Vi ville det va'
På söndag, på söndag, på söndag
Jag viskar ett ord
Och middan är gjord
På värdshuset väntar
Bord, duka dig bord!
På söndag, på söndag, på söndag!
Oh, så blir det assietter
Och vin i karaff
Sallad och kotletter
Och Biff à la Paff
Men på Gröna Lund
Vi går om en stund
Och sedan berättar jag allt för John Blund
Oh, vi önskar, vi önskar vareviga dag
Var söndag, var söndag, var söndag
Mera glass! (Nej nu får det vara nog)
Mera glass! (Du får ont i magen då)
Låt'en få mera glass i stora lass!
Oh, vareviga da'
Vi ville det va'
På söndag, på söndag, på söndag
På söndag, på söndag, på söndag ...

Sail On White Moon
Composer(s): Johnny Bristol
Performer(s): Boz Scaggs
Your world was not the kind
I ever thought I’d find
Myself to be a part of
Oh, but here I stand
In the middle of a foreign land
A stranger with love in his heart
Mmmmm, for love has no eyes
It comes in no disguise
It’s free for those who want to share
And I’ve chosen you to be mine
So girl let’s not waste no time
Let’s not worry ‘bout what they say
Let’s take care of what is ours today
Sail on white moon
Across the dark and starry sky
Sail on white moon
Our love won’t die
But girl you must realize
There be a difference in our lives
We’re gonna be rejected
Oh, but that’s to be expected
Sail on white moon
Across the dark and starry sky
Sail on white moon
Across the dark and starry sky

Sail On Sailor
Sail On Sailor
Composer(s): Tandyn Almer; Ray Kennedy; Van Dyke Parks; Jack Rieley; Brian Wilson
Performer(s): The Beach Boys
and multiple other artists
I sailed an ocean, unsettled ocean
Through restful waters and deep commotion
Often frightened, unenlightened
Sail on, sail on sailor
I wrest the waters, fight Neptune's waters
Sail through the sorrows of life's marauders
Unrepenting, often empty
Sail on, sail on sailor
Caught like a sewer rat alone but I sail
Bought like a crust of bread, but oh do I wail
Seldom stumble, never crumble
Try to tumble, life's a rumble
Feel the stinging I've been given
Never ending, unrelenting
Heartbreak searing, always fearing
Never caring, persevering
Sail on, sail on, sailor
I work the seaways, the gale-swept seaways
Past shipwrecked daughters of wicked waters
Uninspired, drenched and tired
Wail on, wail on, sailor
Always needing, even bleeding
Never feeding all my feelings
Damn the thunder, must I blunder
There's no wonder all I'm under
Stop the crying and the lying
And the sighing and my dying
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor

P ... De Toi
P ... De Toi
Composer(s): Jean Bertola
Performer(s): Georges Brassens
En ce temps-là, je vivais dans la lune
Les bonheurs d'ici-bas
m'étaient tous défendus
Je semais des violettes et chantais pour des prunes
Et tendais la patte aux chats perdus
Ah ah ah ah putain de toi
Ah ah ah ah ah ah pauvre de moi
Un soir de pluie v'là qu'on gratte à ma porte
Je m'empresse d'ouvrir, sans doute un nouveau chat
Nom de dieu l'beau félin que l'orage m'apporte
C'était toi, c'était toi, c'était toi
Les yeux fendus et couleur pistache
T'as posé sur mon cœur ta patte de velours
Fort heureus'ment pour moi t'avais pas de moustache
Et ta vertu ne pesait pas trop lourd
Au quatre coins de ma vie de bohème
T'as prom'né, t'as prom'né le feu de tes vingt ans
Et pour moi, pour mes chats, pour mes fleurs, mes poèmes
C'était toi la pluie et le beau temps
Mais le temps passe et fauche à l'aveuglette
Notre amour mûrissait à peine que déjà
Tu brûlais mes chansons, crachais sur mes viollettes
Et faisais des misères à mes chats
Le comble enfin, misérable salope
Comme il n'restait plus rien dans le garde-manger
T'as couru sans vergogne, et pour une escalope
Te jeter dans le lit du boucher
C'était fini, t'avais passé les bornes
Et, r'nonçant aux amours frivoles d'ici-bas
J'suis r'monté dans la lune en emportant mes cornes
Mes chansons, et mes fleurs, et mes chats
