Pastorale


Pastorale
Composer(s): Boudewijn De Groot; Lennaert Nijgh
Performer(s): Liesbeth List & Ramses Shaffy



Mijn hemel blauw met gouden harp
Mijn wolkentorens, ijskristallen
Kometen, manen en planeten, aah alles draait om mij
En door de witte wolkenpoort tot diep onder de golven
Boort mijn vuur, mijn liefde, zich in de aarde
En bij het water speelt een kind
En alle schelpen die het vindt gaan blinken als ik lach

'k Hou van je warmte op mijn gezicht
Ik hou van de koperen kleur van je licht
Ik geef je water in mijn hand
En schelpen uit het zoute zand
Ik heb je lief, zo lief

Ik scheur de rotsen met mijn stralen
Verhoog de meren in de dalen en
Onweersluchten doe ik vluchten, aah als de regen valt
Verberg je ogen in een hand
Voordat m'n glimlach ze verbrandt
M'n vuur, m'n liefde, mijn gouden ogen
't Is beter als je nog wat wacht
Want even later komt de nacht en schijnt de koele maan

De nacht is te koud, de maan te grijs
Toe neem me toch mee naar je hemelpaleis
Daar wil ik zijn alleen met jou
En stralen in het hemelblauw
Ik heb je lief, zo lief

Als ik de aarde ga verwarmen
Laat ik haar leven in m'n armen
Van sterren weefde ik het verre, aah het noorderlicht
Maar soms ben ik als kolkend lood
Ik ben het leven en de dood
In vuur, in liefde, in alle tijden
M'n kind ik troost je, kijk omhoog
Vandaag span ik mijn regenboog
Die is alleen voor jou

Nee nooit sta ik een seconde stil
'k Wil liever branden neem me mee
Geen mens kan mij dwingen wanneer ik niet wil
Wanneer je vanavond gaat slapen in zee
Geen leven dat ik niet begon
En vliegen langs jouw hemelbaan
Je kunt niet houden van de zon
Ik wil niet meer bij jou vandaan

Ik heb je lief, zo lief
Ik heb je lief, zo lief
Ik heb je lief, zo lief
Ik heb je lief, zo lief
Ik heb je lief, zo lief

Say Wonderful Things


Say Wonderful Things
Composer(s): Philip Green, Norman Newell
First performance by: Ronnie Carroll - 1963
Covered by multiple other artists



Say wonderful things to me, I think you're wonderful too
Say wonderful things to me, especially 'I love you'
They say I was living before we met
All of my yesterdays I forget
Now you are the one that I'm living for
And each day I love you more
So you must say wonderful things to me, I think you're wonderful too
Say wonderful things to me, especially 'I love you'
The more that I love you, the more it seems
People should always believe in dreams
Now all of my dreams I'm dreaming of you
And someday they'll all come true
So you must say wonderful things to me, I think you're wonderful too
Say wonderful things to me, especially 'I love you'
I'll never hurt you or make you cry
Love will grow stronger as years go by
Forever you'll be the one girl for me
I'll love you until I die
So you must say wonderful things to me, I think you're wonderful too
Say wonderful things to me, especially 'I love you'
(Say wonderful things)

Pastora Do Tempo


Pastora Do Tempo
Composer(s): Ednardo
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



O cavaleiro do medo
Usa do ouro a razão
Pra ofuscar os meus olhos
E confundir minha emoção

Não sabe que a luz que me guia
É da estrela que irradia
A linda Pastora do Tempo
Que guarda o meu povo eterno
E livre o meu pensamento

Quem faz a história da vida
Com ela rompeu as entranhas do chão
Quem quer saber do que está escondido
Procura no fundo dos olhos do povo
E dentro do seu coração

Vão com o vento as palavras
São como pombos-correio
Mas estão sempre atrasados
Pois o seu vôo é lento
E o meu pensamento é ligeiro

Silverado


Silverado
Composer(s): George McCorkle
Performer(s): The Marshall Tucker Band



As a young man, I was raised by a man of the cloth
And taught to judge men equal and not to find their faults
Until one day, I witnessed a tragic thing
A man laid on the church steps, slain

And as the smoke cleared, the tall man he holstered his gun
The bright day ended and a cloud covered the sun
I found hate in my heart that I'd never known before
I'd see this man hang and that's the one thing that I know for sure

Silverado, you'll hang by the hangman's tree
And you'll die in misery

His face remained in my eyes as I grew through the years
I practised shooting every day while trying to hold back the tears
I traveled through Oklahoma and Texas to the Rio Grande
Knowing when I met Silverado, the Lord would steady my hand

Silverado, you'll hang by the hangman's tree
And you'll die in misery, ye-eah

Then the day came, I'd dreamed of for years
Silverado stood before me and my heart it pounded in fear
As he turned and saw my eyes, he knew why I'd come
Then, without the blink of an eye, he went for his gun

As our guns did fire, tears come to my eyes
When he collapsed before me, I dropped my gun and sighed
Silverado, you'll hang by the hangman's tree
And you'll die in misery

Silverado, you'll hang by the hangman's tree
Yes, you'll die in misery

Pasties And A G-String


Pasties And A G-String
Composer(s): Tom Waits
Performer(s): Tom Waits; Jeffrey Lee Pierce



Smelling like a brewery, looking like a tramp
I ain't got a quarter, got a postage stamp
Been five o'clock shadow boxing all around the town
Talking with the old man, sleeping on the ground
Bazanti bootin al zootin al hoot and Al Cohn
Sharing this apartment with a telephone pole
And a fish-net stocking, spike-heel shoes
Strip tease, prick tease, car keys blues
And the porno floor show, live nude girls
Dreamy and creamy and brunette curls
Chesty Morgan and Watermelon Rose
Raise my rent and take off all your clothes
With trench coats, magazines, a bottle full of rum
She's so good, make a dead man come
Pasties and a G-string, beer and a shot
Portland through a shot glass and a Buffalo squeeze
Wrinkles and Cherry and Twinkie and Pinkie and Fifi live from Gay Paree
Fanfares, rim shots, back stage, who cares, all this hot burlesque for me

Cleavage, cleavage, thighs and hips
From the nape of her neck to the lipstick lips
Chopped and channeled and lowered and lewd
And the cheater slicks and baby moons
She's a-hot and ready, creamy and sugared
And the band is awful and so are the tunes

Crawling on her belly, and shaking like jelly
And I'm getting harder than Chinese algebrassieres
And cheers from the (hmm) compendium here
Hey sweetheart they're yelling for more
You're squashing out your cigarette butts on the floor
And I like Shelly, and you like Jane
And what was the girl with the snakeskin's name?
And it's an early-bird matinee, come back any day
Get you a little something that you can't get at home
Get you a little something that you can't get at home
It's pasties and a G-string, beer and a shot
Portland through a shot glass and a Buffalo squeeze
Popcorn, front row, higher than a kite, and I'll be back tomorrow night
And I'll be back tomorrow night

Dis Rien


Dis Rien Composer(s): Henri Salvador - René Rouzaud First performance by: François Deguelt - 1962



Dis rien, dis rien, on s'aime
C'est ça le vrai poème
Et je me sens si bien
Mon corps noyé au tien

Je suis comme dans une vague
Où mon bonheur divague
C'est si profond, profond
Je me sens couler au fond

Dis rien, les mots sont bêtes
Quand on n'est pas poète
Ce sont des bulles qui crèvent
Les mots, ça tue les rêves

Mes mains jouent sur ta robe
Rien de toi ne se dérobe
Dans mes deux bras fermés
Laisse-moi, laisse-moi t'aimer

Dis rien, dis rien, mon âme
Tes yeux ont comme une flamme
Les mots sont tous les mêmes
Dis rien, dis rien, je t'aime

Je ne sais plus où nous sommes
Tu es femme et moi - un homme
Et si l'on meurt de ça
Je veux mourir cent fois
Cent fois, cent fois
Cent fois

Pasticcio In Paradiso


Pasticcio In Paradiso
Composer(s): Miki Del Prete; Ricky Gianco
Performer(s): Adriano Celentano



Nascendo tu
hai fatto certamente nascere
un piccolo pasticcio in paradiso, perché
volevano tenerti lassù
gli angeli del ciel

Venendo qui
hai fatto certamente nascere
un piccolo pasticcio nel mio paradiso, perché
sei tanto bella
e tanto piaci a me
ma non soltanto a me

Ora perché sei qui con me
se non vuoi darmi un bacio
su dai non dire più di no
Lo sai che tu mi piaci

Silver Wings In The Moonlight


Silver Wings In The Moonlight
Composer(s): Hugh Charles; Leo Towers; Sonny Miller
Performer(s): Anne Shelton; Margaret Whiting



Silver Wings in the moonlight
Flying high up above
While I'm patiently waiting
Please take care of my love

Silver Wings in the moonlight
Silver bird in the sky
Many times has he told me
He loves both you and I

So I must share him with you
What can I do, it just has to be
I'll never keep him from you
Honest, if you won't keep him from me

If you love him like I do
Take him safely, and then
Silver Wings in the moonlight
Bring him homeward again

So I must share him with you
What can I do, it just has to be
I'll never keep him from you
Honest, if you won't keep him from me

If you love him like I do
Take him safely, and then
Silver Wings in the moonlight
Bring him homeward again

Past, Present, And Future


Past, Present, And Future
Composer(s): Artie Butler; Jerry Leiber; George Morton
Performer(s): The Shangri-Las;
Grant Green; Abby Travis



The past, past, well now let me tell you about the past
The past is filled with silent joys and broken toys
Laughing girls and teasing boys
Was I ever in love?
I called it love- I mean, it felt like love
There were moments when, well, there were moments when

Present, Go out with you? Why not?
Do I like to dance? Of course
Take a walk along the beach tonight? I'd love to
But don't try to touch me, don't try to touch me
Cos that will never happen again
Shall we dance

The future, tomorrow? well tomorrow's a long way off
Maybe someday I'll have somebody's hand
Maybe somewhere someone will understand
You know I used to sing- a tisket a tasket a green and yellow basket
I'm all packed up and I'm on my way and I'm gonna fall in love
But at the moment it doesn't look good
At the moment it will never happen again

I don't think it will ever happen again

Addio ... Addio ...


Addio ... Addio ...
Composer(s): Domenico Modugno; Franco Migliacci
First release by: Domenico Modugno - 1962



I miei sorrisi e i tuoi si sono spenti
Noi camminiamo insieme e siamo soli
ci restano soltanto lunghi silenzi
che voglion dire... Addio... Addio...
Il nostro amore, acqua di mare è diventato sale
le nostre labbra inaridite non hanno più parole
Guardami... guardami
lo sai che non e vero
non è vero finito il nostro amore
Addio! Addio! Addio! Addio!
Guardami... guardami, ascoltami, fermati
Non è vero perché tu stai piangendo
perché noi lo sappiamo che ci vogliamo bene
che ci vogliamo bene... e ci lasciamo
Addio! Addio! Addio! Addio!

Passionnément


Passionnément
Performer(s): Danyel Gérard



Passionnément, d'une invincible flamme
Passionnément, jusqu'au dernier dimanche
Passionnément, j'embrasserai ton âme
D'un feu d'amour, qui ne s'éteindra pas

Les vents nous porterons vers des terres lointaines
Ou l'on vit de légendes
Je vaincrai les dragons des palais de l'enfers
Tu seras châtelaine
J'allumerai tes yeux au soleil de printemps
Qui oublie d'être sage
Tu auras cet enfant, nous en ferons le dieu
D'un jardin de nuages

Passionnément, Passionnément, humm humm humm

Passionnément, nous vivrons de chimères
Passionnément, jusqu'aux derniers dimanches
Passionnément, en brûlant d'éphémères
Nous oublierons, la cruelle habitude

Je pendrai a ton coup la clé de mes hasards
Tu seras bohémienne
Tu verras l'océan de mes rêves bizarres
Et tu seras sirène
Au coup de nos années, je coucherai ton cœur
dans un lit de tendresse
Et nos corps embrassés comme une forteresse
Feront la guerre au temps

Passionnément, Passionnément
Jusqu'aux derniers dimanches
Passionnément

Silver Wings


Silver Wings
Composer(s): Merle Haggard
First release by: Merle Haggard & The Strangers - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists



Silver wings shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away
And leaving me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight

Don't leave me i cried
Don't take that airplane ride
'Cause you locked me out of your mind
And left me standing here behind

Silver wings shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away
And leaving me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight

Silver wings shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away
And leaving me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight

Passionate Kisses


Passionate Kisses
Composer(s): Lucinda Williams
Performer(s): Mary Chapin Carpenter; Lucinda Williams



Is it too much to ask
I want a comfortable bed that won't hurt my back
Food to fill me up
And warm clothes and all that stuff
Shouldn't I have this
Shouldn't I have this
Shouldn't I have all of this, and

Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh
Passionate kisses from you

Is it too much to demand
I want a full house and a rock and roll band
Pens that won't run out of ink
And cool quiet and time to think
Shouldn't I have this
Shouldn't I have this
Shouldn't I have all of this, and

Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh
Passionate kisses from you

Do I want too much
Am I going overboard to want that touch
I shout it out to the night
"Give me what I deserve, 'cause it's my right"
Shouldn't I have this
Shouldn't I have this
Shouldn't I have all of this, and

Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh
Passionate kisses from you

Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh
Passionate kisses from you

Petit Bonhomme


Petit Bonhomme
First performance by: Camillo Felgen - 1962



Petit bonhomme, au bout de ton enfance
Petit bonhomme, il faudra se quitter
Tu partiras comme on part en vacances
Sur les chemins de la liberté

Petit bonhomme, ainsi la vie nous mène
Et les enfants s'échappent des parents
J'ai eu la joie, bientôt j'aurai la peine
Et je te comprendrai, je t'aime et j'attends

Je t'écoute dormir et tes rêves d'enfant
Me font des souvenirs pour quand tu seras grand
Plus grand que moi, demain déjà

Petit bonhomme, il faut que je te dise
Petit bonhomme, et tu n'y croiras pas
Mais quelquefois j'ai fait d'autres valises
Vite défaites à cause de toi

Petit bonhomme, au jour du grand passage
Je serai seul et tu ne viendras pas
Mais je dirai: "Mon fils est en voyage"
"Il est allé beaucoup plus loin, beaucoup plus loin que moi"

Passing The Time


Passing The Time
Composer(s): Ginger Baker; Mike Taylor
Performer(s): Cream



It is a cold winter
Away is the songbird
And gone is her traveller
She waits at home

The sun is on holiday
No leaves on the trees
The animals sleep
While cold north wind blows

The snowflakes are falling
The roof a white blanket
There’s ice on the window pane
She waits alone

She sits by the fireside
The room is so warm
Her children are sleeping
She waits in their home

Passing the time
Passing the time
Everything fine
Passing the time, drinking red wine
Passing the time, drinking red wine
Passing the time, drinking red wine
Passing the time, everything fine
Passing the time, drinking red wine
Passing the time, everything fine
Passing the time, wine and time rhyme
Passing the time

It is a long winter
Away is the summer
She waits for her traveller
So far from home

She sits by the fireside
The room is so warm
There’s ice on the window
She’s lonely alone

Silver White Man


Silver White Man
Composer(s): David Byron
Performer(s): Uriah Heep



Just looking around the sky
And trying to reason why
The feeling is right for someone to appear
He's never been seen before
But he's somewhere out there I'm sure
And he talks in a whisper that most don't even hear

A silver white man on a silver white horse
And I think that I'm going to meet him
A silver white man on a silver white horse
And I'll hope I'll be able to greet him

He watches us night and day
Whatever we do or say
His only concern is rightning all the wrong
But because of the way they decreed
He must stay on his silver white steed
And try to find out the people who belong

The silver white man on a silver white horse
And I hope that he's'coming to see me
A silver white man on a silver white horse
And I hope he'll be able to see me

Passing Strangers
Composer(s): Mel Mitchell; Rita Mann
Performer(s): Billy Eckstine & Sarah Vaughan;
and various other artists



(Billy)
We seem like passing strangers now
How can you hurry by

(Sarah)
There where never two who loved
Half as much as you and I
We seem like passing strangers now
Funny how things can change

(Billy)
We where so inseparable
Now you're acting very strange

(Both)
The hands I used to touch
Don't even wave hello

(Billy)
How I miss your lips you'll never know

(Sarah)
If you would only turn to me
Speak my name just once more
You might find right there and then

(Both)
Strangers can be lovers again

(Sarah)
The hands I used to touch
Don't even wave hello

(Billy)
How I miss your lips you'll never know
If you would only turn to me

(Both)
Speak my name just once more

(Sarah)
You might find right there and then

(Both)
Strangers can be lovers again

Ne Pali Svetla U Sumrak


Ne Pali Svetla U Sumrak
Composer(s): Jozé Privek; Dragutin Britvic
First performance by: Lola Novakovic - 1962



U toploj tami sobe, još cigarete dve
Dva mala svetla sve su bliže, bliže
Ta noæ je stvorena za njih, taj san je snen i tako tih
Dve zvezde sad æe poæ', na dalek stari put
U plavom staklu vaze, tu negdje izpod ruža
Dva mala svetla sve su bliže, bliže
Taj dan je bio tako tih, sad san se spušta meðu njih
Veæ gasiš cigaretu, pružaš ruke snu
Taj dan je bio tako tih, sad san se spušta meðu njih
I dve æe zvezde poæ', na dalek stari put
U plavom staklu vaze, tu negdje izpod ruža
Dva mala svetla sve su bliže, bliže
Ta noæ je stvorena za njih, sad san se spušta tako tih
Veæ gasiš cigaretu, pružaš ruke snu
Ne pali svetla u sumrak

Silver Threads And Golden Needles


Silver Threads And Golden Needles
Composer(s): Jack Rhodes; Dick Reynolds
First release by: Wanda Jackson - 1956
Covered by multiple other artists



Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I'll never drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money, for I never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
Go ahead!

I don't want your golden mansions with a tear in every room
All I want's the love you promised, beneath the halo moon
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheatin' game

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I'll never drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money, for I never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
