It's Christmas Once Again


It's Christmas Once Again Composer(s): Elaine Blackman Performer(s): Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers and multiple other artists



Bum-bum-bum-bum

Merry voices raised in singing
Carols through the streets are ringing
All because it's Christmas once again

Lovers kiss in public shyly
Mistletoe was hung there slyly
All because it's Christmas once again

Little kiddies' noses flattened on the window pane
Peeking at the dollys and the shiney choo-choo trains
Santa's hitching up his reindeer, has his bag packed tight
Everything is ready for the sleigh ride through the night

Christmas trees with lights are twinkling
Glasses filled with snowflakes sprinkling
All because it's Christmas once again

So here's a wish we keep repeating
Please accept the season's greetings
All because it's Christmas once again

Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum

Salut Les Copains


Salut Les Copains
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë; Gilbert Bécaud
Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud



Salut les copains
Voyez j'ai mauvaise mine
Les rues de Pantin
Manquent de mandoline

Je pars en voyage
Avec pour bagage
Dans ma petite musette
Cinq ou six chaussettes

Deux ou trois chemises
Ma plus belle mise
Moi je pars pour l'Italie

Vous me voyez sur des gondoles
Emporté au fil des canaux
De tarentelle en barcarolle
Dansant l'soir au bord du Lido

Marchant sur le pavé de Rome
Comme un Anglais aux Champs-Elysées
Là-bas je serai un autre homme
Là-bas je serai l'étranger
Qui viendra visiter
L'île de Capri et puis la tour de Pise
Naples et Pompéi et cent vingt mille églises

Des palais antiques
Et l'Adriatique
Après tout qu'importe
Il faut que je m'emporte
Dans ma petite musette
Cinq ou six chaussettes
Moi je pars pour l'Italie

Je vous aime bien
Mais comprenez quand même
Le ciel de Pantin
Est pauvre en oxygène

Je pars en voyage
Avec pour bagage
Dans ma petite musette
Cinq ou six chaussettes

Deux ou trois chemises
Ma plus belle mise
Moi je pars pour l'Italie

Salut les copains
N'ayez pas de rancune
L'Italie c'est loin
Mais ce n'est pas la lune

Maintenant c'est l'heure
Y n'faut pas qu'on pleure
Je m'en vais c'est sage
Faire mes bagages
Deux ou trois chemises
Ma plus belle mise
Moi je pars pour l'Italie

Salut les copains
J'ai toujours bonne mine
J'ai raté mon train
Adieu les mandolines
J'partais en voyage
Avec pour bagage
Dans ma petite musette
Cinq à six chaussettes
Deux ou trois chemises
Ma plus belle mise
Je partais pour l'Italie

It's Christmas Everywhere


It's Christmas Everywhere
Composer(s): Paul Anka
Performer(s): Paul Anka



Snowflakes falling down, on every little town
A blanket of stars above
Church bells are ringing, children are singing
It's Christmas, it's Christmas, Christmas everywhere

Lovers often go, under mistletoe
And kiss until dawn's early light
Sleigh bells are ringing, choirs are singing
It's Christmas, it's Christmas, Christmas everywhere

Christmas trees all aglow
Stockings are hung with care
Stars brightly gleaming, children are dreaming
That Santa soon will be there

Snowflakes falling down, on every little town
A blanket of stars above
Church bells are ringing, choirs are singing
It's Christmas, it's Christmas, Christmas everywhere
It's Christmas everywhere

Salut Les Amoureux


Salut Les Amoureux ((Adapted from: City Of New Orleans (Steve Goodman) - 1971)) Composer(s): Steve Goodman - Richelle Dassin - Pierre Delanoë Performer(s): Joe Dassin - 1973

Versions In Other Languages: 1973 - 'T Is Weer Voorbij Die Mooie Zomer (Gerard Cox) 1975 - Wann Wird's Mal Wieder Richtig Sommer (Rudi Carrell) 2003 - Een Memorabele Zomer (Tom van Stiphout & Paul Poelmans)



Les matins se suivent et se ressemblent
Quand l'amour fait place au quotidien
On n'était pas fait pour vivre ensemble
Ça n'suffit pas de toujours s'aimer bien
C'est drôle, hier, on s'ennuyait
Et c'est à peine si l'on trouvait
Des mots pour se parler du mauvais temps
Et maintenant qu'il faut partir
On a cent mille choses à dire
Qui tiennent trop à cœur pour si peu de temps

On s'est aimé comme on se quitte
Tout simplement sans penser à demain
A demain qui vient toujours un peu trop vite
Aux adieux qui quelque fois se passent un peu trop bien

On fait c'qu'il faut, on tient nos rôles
On se regarde, on rit, on crâne un peu
On a toujours oublié quelque chose
C'est pas facile de se dire adieu
Et l'on sait trop bien que tôt ou tard
Demain peut-être ou même ce soir
On va se dire que tout n'est pas perdu
De ce roman inachevé, on va se faire un conte de fées
Mais on a passé l'âge, on n'y croirait plus

On s'est aimé comme on se quitte
Tout simplement sans penser à demain
A demain qui vient toujours un peu trop vite
Aux adieux qui quelque fois se passent un peu trop bien

Roméo, Juliette et tous les autres
Au fond de fond de vos bouquins dormez en paix
Un simple histoire comme la nôtre
Est de celles qu'on écrira jamais
Allons petite il faut partir
Laisser ici nos souvenirs
On va descendre ensemble si tu veux
Et quand elle va nous voir passer
La patronne du café
Va encore nous dire "Salut les amoureux"

On s'est aimé comme on se quitte
Tout simplement sans penser à demain
A demain qui vient toujours un peu trop vite
Aux adieux qui quelque fois se passent un peu trop bien

Een Memorabele Zomer


Een Memorabele Zomer ((aka 'T Is Weer Voorbij Die Mooie Zomer (Gerard Cox) - 1973)) ((Adapted from: City Of New Orleans (Steve Goodman) - 1971)) Composer(s): Steve Goodman - Fritz Van den Heuvel Performer(s): Tom van Stiphout & Paul Poelmans - 2003

Versions In Other Languages: 1973 - Salut Les Amoureux (Joe Dassin) 1975 - Wann Wird's Mal Wieder Richtig Sommer (Rudi Carrell)



Mijn eens zo groen gazon heeft bruine plekken
En zelf ben ik al helemaal verveld
De zwaluwen staan klaar om te vertrekken
De boer verzuipt weer lekker op zijn veld
Het was de zomer van de eeuw
Geen druppel regen, zelfs geen sneeuw
De horeca deed weer een gouden zaak
De krant stond vol met cani-kul
En Armstrong,
hij lapte Ullrich weer een toer
Ja deze zomer was goed raak

't Was weer een memorab'le zomer
Het kwik omhoog
De kijkcijfers omlaag
En de aandsculpturen vlogen om je oren
Zo'n zomers, ja, zo hebben we ze graag

Antwerpen kreeg dan toch een burgervader
En Gabriël die kreeg een pa en ma
En Claire werd zwanger, men zoekt nog naar de dader
En bij Delphine Boël was het ook van da
De lucht was zwanger van het blauw
De Maas stond droog, het bier was lauw
De vlooien hadden 't warm op 't kabinet
De bossen brandden bij de vleet
Het mediagevecht was heet
En Stef Wauters zei niet eens dat het hem speet

't Was weer een memorab'le zomer
Het kwik omhoog
De kijkcijfers omlaag
En de aandsculpturen vlogen om je oren
Zo'n zomers, ja, zo hebben we ze graag

It's Christmas (All Over The World)


It's Christmas (All Over The World)
Composer(s): John Hobbs; Bill House
Performer(s): New Edition;
and various other artists



All my life, I've tried to do what's right
First star I see tonight, please make my wish come true
Why can't we join hands around one tree?
Let live and let it be
Make Christmas last forever

When Santa's flying in his magic sleigh
Goes all around the world in just a day
From the North Pole to the Southern tip
He makes his trip with gifts to give away
Hear him say

"It's Christmas, all over the world tonight
It's Christmas, all over the world"

All my life, I learned if I was good
and did everything I should, my dreams would all come true
I can see a special time when we join hands around one tree
And Christmas lasts forever

When Santa's flying in his magic sleigh
Goes all around the world in just a day
From the North Pole to the Southern tip
He makes his trip with gifts to give away
Hear him say

"It's Christmas, all over the world tonight
It's Christmas, all over the world"

Salut


Salut
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë; Claude Lemesle
Performer(s): Joe Dassin



Salut, c'est encore moi!
Salut, comment tu vas?
Le temps m'a paru très long
Loin de la maison j'ai pensé à toi

J'ai un peu trop navigué
Et je me sens fatigué
Fais-moi un bon café
J'ai une histoire à te raconter

Il était une fois quelqu'un
Quelqu'un que tu connais bien
Il est parti très loin
Il s'est perdu, il est revenu

Salut, c'est encore moi!
Salut, comment tu vas?
Le temps m'a paru très long
Loin de la maison j'ai pensé à toi

Tu sais, j'ai beaucoup changé
Je m'étais fait des idées
Sur toi, sur moi, sur nous
Des idées folles, mais j'étais fou

Tu n'as plus rien à me dire
Je ne suis qu'un souvenir
Peut-être pas trop mauvais
Jamais plus je ne te dirai

Salut, c'est encore moi!
Salut, comment tu vas?
Le temps m'a paru très long
Loin de la maison j'ai pensé à toi

It's Beginning To Look Like Christmas


It's Beginning To Look Like Christmas
Composer(s): Meredith Willson
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists



It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look in the Five and Ten
Glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see
Is the holly that will be
On your own front door

A pair of Hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Bonny and Ben
Dolls that will talk and go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jenn
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again
(Yes Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel
One in the park as well
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring
Is the Carol that you sing
Right within your heart
Right within your heart
Right within your heart

Salud, salud cariño, porque mañana siempre exista la alegría
de este amor que noche y día, nos tenemos tu y yo

Salud, salud mi vida, que se conserven frescas nuestras emociones
y no existan ilusiones que lleguemos a perder

Salud, salud cariño, porque en las noches tu que eres adorable
sea fuente inagotable de mi dicha y mi pasión

Salud, salud cariño, salud querida, que nuestro idilio
sea de los dos un niño que tratamos de lograr

Salud, salud cariño, salud, salud querida
por todo lo que nos damos por lo que
a diario soñamos una y mil veces salud

Salud, salud cariño, salud querida, que nuestro idilio....

It Wouldn't Be Christmas (Without You)


It Wouldn't Be Christmas (Without You)
Composer(s): Scott Krippayne; John Tesh
Performer(s): John Tesh



We hang the lights, have snowball fights
And sing our favorite tunes
All of these are memories
I make each year with you

We decorate the douglas together
And watch "It's A Wonderful Life"
I look forward to every December
Because you're always here by my side

It wouldn't be Christmas without you
The season would just come and go
The holiday cheer would all disappear
Along with the sleigh bells and snow
Santa and eight little reindeer
Might as well pass on through
'Cause baby it wouldn't be Christmas
Without you

Come back here, man, gimme my quarter
Hey-hey-hey, you salty dog

It Won't Seem Like Christmas (Without You)


It Won't Seem Like Christmas (Without You) Composer(s): J.A. Balthrop First recording/First release by: Elvis Presley - 1971



Oh, it won't seem like Christmas, Dear, without you
For too many miles are between
But if I get the one thing I'm wishing for
Then I'll se you tonight in my dreams

Seems a long time since we've been together
It was just about this time of the year
Looks like it's gonna be snowy weather
How I wish that you could be here

But it won't seem like Christmas, oh, without you
For too many miles are between
But if I get the one thing that I'm wishing for
Then I'll see you tonight in my dreams

In the distance I hear sleigh bells ringing
The holly is so pretty this year
And the carol that somebody's singing
Reminds me of our Christmas last year

Oh, it won't seem like Christmas, oh, without you
For too many miles are between
But if I get the one thing I'm wishing for
Then I'll see you tonight in my dreams

Saltando De Piedra En Piedra


Saltando De Piedra En Piedra
Composer(s): Rubén Goldín
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



Un hombre alegre, es uno más
en el coro el hombre es alegre ... haaa ...
un hombre triste no se parece
a ningœn otro hombre triste ... haaa ...

Tonto corazón vacío
uno depende así de tu hambre
uno depende así de tu hambre
y se convierte en ave ciega, torpe
horadada al fin, horadada al fin.
El sombrío pasajero
de tu carruaje
no puedo mirar hacia atrás
no puedo mirar hacia atrás
tu voz doloroso clavo
penetra el centro del alma
y cala hondo.
Recuerda un clamor de niños insomnes
arrastrados por la sangre
del amanecer ...
Mi tonto corazón
mi tonto corazón
mi corazón ...

It Won't Seem Like Christmas


It Won't Seem Like Christmas
Composer(s): Loretta Lynn
Performer(s): Loretta Lynn



Everybody's busy decorating Christmas trees
And outside icicles hanging from the eaves
And the snowflakes are flyin' just as far as I can see
But it won't seem like Christmas to me

No it won't seem like Christmas, you'll be there and I'll be here
So I'll decorate a heartache with my tears
So have a merry merry Christmas wherever you may be
Oh but it won't seem like Christmas to me

No it won't seem like Christmas, what Christmas without you
I'll be lonely but my darling I'll be true
So have a merry merry Christmas...
No it won't seem like Christmas to me

It Won't Be Christmas Without You


It Won't Be Christmas Without You
Composer(s): Steven Busch; Ronnie Dunn; Jerry Lynn Williams
Performer(s): Brooks & Dunn; Mark Leland



Tree's in the corner, the fire's burning bright
Shadows are dancing in the pale candlelight
Life should be a rainbow, but it's blue
It won't be Christmas without you

I wrapped up all your presents, wrote my name on ev'ry card
I just can't help it, baby, I'm takin' this so hard
You tell me, what's a man to do
It won't be Christmas without you

I stare into the flames, all I see is your face
All this joy and happiness seems so out of place
As far as I'm concerned, it's just a day I must get through
But it won't be Christmas without you

Oh, I wrapped up all your presents, wrote my name on ev'ry card
I just can't help it, baby, I'm takin' this so hard
You tell me, what's a man to do
It won't be Christmas without you

Oh, I wrapped up all your presents, wrote my name on ev'ry card
I just can't help it, baby, I'm takin' this so hard
You tell me, what's a man to do
It won't be Christmas without you

It won't be Christmas without you

Salomon-Song


Salomon-Song
Composer(s): Kurt Weill; Bertolt Brecht
First performance by: Lotte Lenya - 1928
Covered by multiple other artists



Ihr saht den weisen Salomon
Ihr wißt, was aus ihm wurd’!
Dem Mann war alles sonnenklar
Er verfluchte die Stunde seiner Geburt
Und sah, daß alles eitel war
Wie groß und weis war Salomon!
Und seht, da war es noch nicht Nacht
Da sah die Welt die Folgen schon
Die Weisheit hatte ihn so weit gebracht
Beneidenswert, wer frei davon!

Ihr saht die schöne Kleopatra
Ihr wißt, was aus ihr wurd’!
Zwei Kaiser fielen ihr zum Raub
Da hat sie sich zu Tode gehurt
Und welkte hin und wurde Staub
Wie groß und schön war Babylon!
Und seht, da war es noch nicht Nacht
Da sah die Welt die Folgen schon
Die Schönheit hatte sie so weit gebracht
Beneidenswert, wer frei davon!

Ihr saht den kühnen Cäsar dann
Ihr wißt, was aus ihm wurd’!
Er saß wie ‘n Gott auf ‘nem Altar
Und wurde ermordet, wie ihr erfuhrt
Und zwar, als er am größten war
Wie schrie der laut: "Auch du, mein Sohn!"
Und seht, da war es noch nicht Nacht
Da sah die Welt die Folgen schon
Die Kühnheit hatte ihn so weit gebracht
Beneidenswert, wer frei davon!

Und jetzt sehr ihr Macheath und mich
Gott weiß, was aus uns wird!
So groß war unsre Leidenschaft
Wo haben wir uns hin verirrt
Daß man ihn jetzt zum Galgen schafft
Da seht ihr unsere Sünde Lohn
Und seht, da ist es noch nicht Nacht
Da sieht die Welt die Folgen schon
Die Leidenschaft hat uns so weit gebracht
Beneidenswert, wer frei davon!

It Wasn't His Child


It Wasn't His Child
Composer(s): Skip Ewing
Performer(s): Trisha Yearwood;
and various other artists



He was her man, she was his wife
And late one winter night
He knelt by her
As she gave birth
But it wasn't his child
It wasn't his child

Yet still he took him as his own
And as he watched him grow
It brought him joy
But it wasn't his child
It wasn't his child

But like a father he was strong and kind
And I believe he did his best
It wasn't easy for him
But he did all could
His son was different from the rest
It wasn't his child
It wasn't his child

And when the boy became a man
He took his father's hand
And soon the world
Would all know why
It wasn't his child
It wasn't his child

But like a father he was strong and kind
And I believe he did his best
It wasn't easy for him
But he did all could
He grew up with his hands in wood
And he died with his hands in wood
He was God's child,
He was God's child

He was her man
She was his wife
And late one night
He knelt by her
As she gave birth
But it wasn't his child
It was God's child

Salomee (With Her Seven Veils)


Salomee (With Her Seven Veils)
Composer(s): Jule Styne; Bob Hilliard
Performer(s): Dinah Shore



Stagecoach after stagecoach
Crossed them western trails
Just to see Salomee
Struttin' like a chicken
Ready for the pickin'
Swingin' out and kickin'
With her seven veils

Outlaws mix with sheriffs
No one thinks of jail
When they see Salomee
Movin' kinda gentle
Lookin' Oriental
Out to pay the rental
With her seven veils

Dancin' like the demon
She'll wiggle across the floor
Everybody's screamin'
(More, more, more, Salomee)
(You're a wow)
(More, more, more, Salomee)
(Wiggle once more, then take a bow)

Weak men yell like Tarzan
Strong men bite their nails
When they see Salomee
Swing Scheherezadeee
Hotter than a toddy
Pleasin' everybyody
With her seven veils

(Hey, now bring me water)
(This gal is Satan's daughter)
Red silk veils are flyin' around
One of them veils just flew to the ground

(More, more, more, Salomee)
(You're a wow)
(More, more, more Salomee)
(Wiggle once more, then take a bow)

She may cause a fire
Fill your fire pails
When you see Salomee
Struttin' like a chicken
Ready for the pickin'
Swingin' out and kickin'
With her seven veils

(Hey Salomee!)
Ye-e-s-s-s
(Hey Salomee!)
(Wow!)

She may cause a fire
Fill your fire pails
When you see Salomee
Struttin' like a chicken
Ready for the pickin'
Swingin' out and kickin'
With her se-e-e-e-e-ven veils

Se-e-e-e-e-ven veils

(Wow!)

It Must Be Getting Close To Christmas


It Must Be Getting Close To Christmas
Composer(s): C. Bruce; Sammy Cahn; Jimmy Van Heusen
Performer(s): Glen Campbell



When daughter starts to greet you with her warmest grin
And junior's got his room much neater than a pin
And if they fight to hug you each time you walk in
It must be getting close to Christmas

Suddenly your slightest wish is their command
And all at once your favorite things are close at hand
And suddenly Lombardo is their favorite band
It must be getting close to Christmas

Nobody ever makes mention of the weather or season
But you, you just love that attention whatever the reason

All at once the wife is charcoal broiling stakes
Coming up with dishes she'd refuse to make
And your little puppy doesn't bark till you're awake
This paradise is close to sublime
And very close to Christmas time
