Pensée Des Morts


Pensée Des Morts
Composer(s): Alphonse De Lamartine; Georges Brassens
Performer(s): Georges Brassens



Voilà les feuilles sans sève
qui tombent sur le gazon
voilà le vent qui s'élève
et gémit dans le vallon
voilà l'errante hirondelle
qui rase du bout de l'aile
l'eau dormante des marais
voilà l'enfant des chaumières
qui glane sur les bruyères
le bois tombé des forêts

C'est la saison où tout tombe
aux coups redoublés des vents
un vent qui vient de la tombe
moissonne aussi les vivants
ils tombent alors par mille
comme la plume inutile
que l'aigle abandonne aux airs
lorsque des plumes nouvelles
viennent réchauffer ses ailes
à l'approche des hivers

C'est alors que ma paupière
vous vit palir et mourir
tendres fruits qu'à la lumière
dieu n'a pas laissé murir
quoique jeune sur la terre
je suis dejà solitaire
parmi ceux de ma saison
et quand je dis en moi-même
"où sont ceux que ton cœur aime?"
je regarde le gazon

C'est un ami de l'enfance
qu'aux jours sombres du malheur
nous preta la providence
pour appuyer notre cœur
il n'est plus: notre âme est veuve
il nous suit dans notre épreuve
et nous dit avec pitié
"Ami si ton âme est pleine
de ta joie ou de ta peine
qui portera la moitié?"

C'est une jeune fiancée
qui, le front ceint du bandeau
n'emporta qu'une pensée
de sa jeunesse au tombeau
Triste, hélas! dans le ciel même
pour revoir celui qu'elle aime
elle revient sur ses pas
et lui dit: "ma tombe est verte!
sur cette terre déserte
qu'attends-tu? je n'y suis pas!"

C'est l'ombre pâle d'un père
qui mourut en nous nommant
c'est une sœur, c'est un frère
qui nous devance un moment
tous ceux enfin dont la vie
un jour ou l'autre ravie
enporte une part de nous
murmurent sous la pierre
"vous qui voyez la lumière
de nous vous souvenez vous?"

Voilà les feuilles sans sève
qui tombent sur le gazon
voilà le vent qui s'élève
et gémit dans le vallon
voilà l'errante hirondelle
qui rase du bout de l'aile
l'eau dormante des marais
voilà l'enfant des chaumières
qui glane sur les bruyères
le bois tombé des forêts

Home (Jim Reeves)


Home
Composer(s): Roger Miller
Performer(s): Jim Reeves



Well, I've been a traveler most of my life
Never took a home, never took a wife
Ran away young and decided to roam
Wanna see my mama and my daddy back home

Home, where the river runs cold
The water tastes good, the winters ain't cold
Home, where the trees grow tall
The home fires burn, the whippoorwills call

I remember stories that my daddy used to tell
My eyes would get big, and his chest would swell
I could sit for hours and listen with glee
As he'd tell of how he lived when he's a boy like me

Home, where the river runs cold
The water tastes good, the winters ain't cold
Home, where the trees grow tall
The home fires burn, the whippoorwills call

Well, mama dear, mama do you still love your boy
After all my roamin' can I still bring you joy
Mom sent a letter, got it not long ago
She said "come home, I'm missin' you so

Pense À Moi


Pense À Moi
Composer(s): Jacques Datin; Robert Gall
Performer(s): France Gall



{Refrain:}
Ne prends pas cet air là
Quand tu n'es pas avec moi
Et si tu t'ennuies pense à moi
Ton chagrin s'en ira
Quand je serai dans tes bras
Mais en attendant
Pense à moi

Pense à nos vacances
Au ciel bleu
Pense à notre plage
À nous deux
A ce grand soleil
Sur toi et moi
Et pense à la neige
A l'hiver
Au chalet
Sous le sapin vert
À nos soirées
Près du feu de bois
{au Refrain}

Pense à tous les mots
Que l'on dit
Quand tous les amis
Sont partis
Qu'il ne reste au monde
Que toi et moi
Alors on devient
Silencieux
Tu me caresses
Avec les yeux
En disant tout bas
"Je t'aime toi"

Je l'entend déjà
Au matin
Le train qui partira
Demain
Et qui te ramène enfin
Vers moi
Tu sais bien
Que je serai là
Avec tant d'amour
Dans la voix
Ne pense pense pense
Qu'à ça
{au Refrain}

Pense à moi
Pense à moi ...

After Awhile


After Awhile
Composer(s): Martha High; Bob Montgomery
Performer(s): Jim Reeves



After awhile, after awhile
I`ll learn to smile, after awhile

I`ll love again when my heart mends
I`ll leave heartbreaks out high, after awhile

Some day you`ll learn just how I feel
When love brings you heartache only time can heal

After awhile, after awhile
I`ll learn to smile, after awhile

After awhile...

Pensar En Nada


Pensar En Nada
Composer(s): León Gieco
Performer(s): León Gieco; Los Piojos



Justo ayer me di cuenta
que solo es cuestión de plata
mientras diez ventanillas cobran
una sola es la que paga

De como piensa la gente
a veces la diferencia
es tan grande que parecen
seres de alguna otra tierra

Y que me dicen de esa casa sola
que se ve desde un avión
quizá en la soledad no haya dolor
de pensar, oh dolor de pensar de pensar
en nada, oh en nada, en nada oh en nada

En la oficina del trabajo
llegando el año nuevo
todos se pelean por
ese maldito ascenso

Con la cuota de frustración
algunos la viven de rosa
la ciudad se pone grande
y cada vez mas peligrosa

I'm Beginning To Forget You


I'm Beginning To Forget You
Composer(s): Willie Phelps
Performer(s): Jim Reeves; Elvis Presley



I'm beginning to forget you
That old heartache is gone
I'm beginning to sleep at night
No more crying 'till dawn
I can hear your name mentioned now
And it brings no misery
I'm beginnin to forget you
Like you forgot me
I'm beginning to smile again
After crying for so long
I can hear the tune we loved, so well
And it's just another song
I'm so happy that it's over
I'm so thankful to be free
I'm beginnin to forget you
Like you forgot me

I can hear the tune we loved, so well
And it's just another song
I'm so happy that it's over
I'm so thankful to be free
I'm beginnin to forget you
Like you forgot me...

Pensami


Pensami
Composer(s): Giovanni Belfiore; María Mendez Grever
Performer(s): Julio Iglesias



Se nessuno crede ancora che ti amo
è perché non mi han mai visto innamorato
Io ti giuro che io stesso mi sorprendo
di come d'improvviso son cambiato
Pur di star vicino a te farei pazzie
e vorrei poter fermare i tuoi pensieri
Quei silenzi misti di malinconie
mi fan sentir geloso di chi non ami più

Pensami
tanto, tanto e intensamente
con il corpo e con la mente
come se io fossi lì

Guardami
con quegli occhi azzurro mare
che mi sanno anche ingannare
ma mi piaci anche così

Sognami
con la forza di un'amante
che è lontana, e non distante
ma che arriva dentro qui

Baciami
bacia tutta la mia pelle...
Si può arrivare alle stelle
dicendo un semplice sì

Se nessuno crede ancora che ti amo
è perché non mi han mai visto innamorato
Quei silenzi misti di malinconie
mi fan sentir geloso di chi non ami più

Sing


Sing
Composer(s): Joe Raposo
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists



Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things not bad
Sing of happy not sad

Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not
Good enough for anyone else to hear
Just sing, sing a song

Sing, sing a song
Let the world sing along
Sing of love there could be
Sing for you and for me

Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not
Good enough for anyone else to hear
Just sing, sing a song

Pensamento


Pensamento
Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Perdido em meus pensamentos
É que me encontro tão só
Na boca um sabor de veneno
No peito, aquele nó
Esperando em qualquer caminho
Um dia, te encontrar
Peito a peito, frente a frente
Meu amor, o que é que há?
Ai meu amor
A vida pode se acabar
Que queres mais que eu faça
Além do grito no ar?
A ilusão, do tempo a esperar por mim
Te quero o tempo todo, perto de mim
Não sei o que é de direito
Mas tudo em mim é você
Quando é pra falar de amor
Já começo a enlouquecer...
Ai coração
Faz o teu fogo arder
Naquele abraço amigo
Na noite que vai chover
Naquele abraço amigo

Sincerità


Sincerità
Composer(s): Riccardo Cocciante; Étienne Roda-Gil
First release by: Riccardo Cocciante - 1983



Ho lavorato tutto il giorno però
quando arriva la notte, nel cielo
restano sempre le stelle
Nel fiume vedo galleggiare una foglia
portata via dalla vita, ma so che
naviga verso le stelle
Sincerit…, questo è il nome che vorrei dare a te
sincerit…, questo è il nome che vorrei io da te
Nel fiume vedo galleggiare una foglia
Portata via dalla vita, ma so che
naviga verso le stelle
Ho perso tutto lavorando però ritorno
nella tua vita, nel cielo restano sempre le stelle
Sincerit…, questo è il nome che vorrei dare a te
sincerit…, questo è il nome che vorrei io da te
Ho perso tutto lavorando però ritorno
nella tua vita, nel cielo restano sempre le stelle
Vorrei poterti dare tutto di me
i giorni e tutte le notti polvere,sogni e luci di stelle
Sincerit…, questo è il nome che vorrei dare a te
sincerit…, questo è il nome che vorrei io da te

Penny Serenade


Penny Serenade
Composer(s): Melle Weersma; Arthur William Hallifax
Performer(s): Al Bowlly;
and various other artists



Once I strayed ‘neath the window
Of a lovely, lovely lady
And she smiled while I softly played
My penny serenade

Si si si, you can hear it for a penny
Si si si, just a penny serenade

In her eyes shone the tender dawn of love
And sweet surrender
As for me, in my heart I played a lovers’ serenade

Si si si, hear my love song for a penny
Si si si, just a penny serenade

In a dream so divine, she was mine
No word had been spoken
When I woke from my dreams, she was gone
No word had been spoken

Still I pray that wherever she may be
She will remember
In her heart, she will always hear
My penny serenade

(Si si si)
Si si si
(You can hear it for a penny)
You can hear it for a penny
(Si si si}
Si si si
(Just a penny serenade)
Just a penny serenade
Just a penny serenade

Sol De Inverno


Sol De Inverno
First performance by: Simone de Oliveira - 1965



Sabe deus que eu quis
Contigo ser feliz
Viver ao sol do teu olhar
Mais terno
Morto o teu desejo
Vivo o meu desejo
Primavera em flor
Ao sol de inverno
Sonhos que sonhei
Onde estão
Horas que vivi
Quem as tem
De que serve ter coração
E não ter o amor de ninguém
Beijos que te dei
Onde estão
A quem foste dar
O que é meu
Vale mais não ter coração
Do que ter e não ter, como eu
Eu em troca de nada
Dei tudo na vida
Bandeira vencida
Rasgada no chão
Sou a data esquecida
A coisa perdida
Que vai a leilão.
Sonhos que sonhei
Onde estão
Horas que vivi
Quem as tem
De que serve ter coração
E não ter o amor de ninguém
Vivo de saudades, amor
A vida perdeu fulgor
Como o sol de inverno
Não tenho calor

Penny Lover


Penny Lover

Performer(s): Lionel Richie;
and various other artists



Penny lover, don't walk on by
Penny lover, don't you make me cry
Can't you see girl, who my heart's beating for
You're the only girl that I adore

The first time I saw you
Oh, you looked so fine
And I had a feeling
One day you'd be mine
Honey you came along and captured my heart
Now my love is somewhere lost in your kiss
When I'm all alone it's you that I miss
Girl a love like yours is hard to resist
Oh, Oh, Ooh, Ooh, Oh

Penny lover, my love's on fire
Penny lover, you're my one desire
Tell me baby could this be true
That I could need someone, like I need you

Nights warm and tender
Lying next to you
Girl I surrender
Oh, what more can I do
I've spent all of my life in search of your love
Now there's one more thing I'd like to say
Don't you ever take your sweet love away
Girl I'll do anything, just please stay
Oh, Oh

I don't understand it, Oh what's come over me
But I'm not gonna worry, no not anymore
'Cause when a man's in love, he's only got one story
That's why my love is somewhere lost in your kiss
When I'm lost and alone it's you that I miss
With a love like yours, it's hard to resist
Ooh, Ooh, Oh

Penny lover, don't you walk on by (don't you walk on by)
Penny lover, don't you make me cry (don't you make me cry baby)
Penny lover, don't you walk on by (don't you walk on by)
Penny lover, don't you make me cry (Oh penny baby)
Penny lover, don't you walk on by (don't you walk on by)
I remember the first time I saw you baby
Penny lover, don't you make me cry
You had the look in your eye, you had the look in your eye, Yeah,
Yeah
Ooh pretty baby
I just wanted to reachout and touch you baby
I just want to reach out and hold ya, I want to reach out and say
Ooh, Ooh
Don't make me cry
I wanna talk about you everyday (Penny lover)
Need you, need you baby ...

Penny Lane


Penny Lane
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
Performer(s): The Beatles



Penny Lane there in a barber showing photographs
Of every head he's had the pleasure to know
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say "Hello"
On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
And little children laugh at him behind his back
And the banker never wears a mac
In the pouring rain - very strange
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back
In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen
He likes to keep his fire engine clean
It's a clean machine
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
A four of fish and finger pies in summer
Meanwhile back behind the shelter in the middle of the roundabout
The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And though she feels as if she's in a play
She is anyway
In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim
And then the fireman rushes in
From the pouring rain - very strange
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies...
Penny Lane!

Since You've Asked


Since You've Asked
Composer(s): Judy Collins
First release by: Judy Collins - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



What I'll give you since you asked
Is all my time together
Take the rugged sunny days
The warm and Rocky weather
Take the roads that I have walked along
Looking for tomorrow’s time
Peace of mind

As my life spills into yours
Changing with the hours
Filling up the world with time
Turning time to flowers
I can show you all the songs
That I never sang to one man before

We have seen a million stones lying by the water
You have climbed the hills with me
To the mountain shelter
Taken off the days one by one
Setting them to breathe in the sun

Take the lilies and the lace
From the days of childhood
All the willow winding paths
Leading up and outward
This is what I give
This is what I ask you for
Nothing more

Penny Arcade


Penny Arcade
Composer(s): Sammy King
Performer(s): Roy Orbison



A light shown in the night some way ahead
Blue turned into green then it was red
And stirring the night love music played the light
I saw in the night was a penny arcade

Hey step up and play each machine seemed to say
As I walked round and round the penny arcade
Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle
And you’ll make all those colored lights cascade
And music played at the penny arcade
Yes it played and it played, played all the time
Roll up and spend your last dime

At first I thought it a dream that I was in
Lost, lost in a sea of glass and tin
But no, so dipping my hand in the back of my jeans
I grabbed a handful of coins to feed the machine

Repeat chorus

Oh! (repeat chorus)

Roll up and spend your last
Roll up and spend your last
Roll up and spend your last dime

Absent Friends (Ingvar Wixell)


Absent Friends First performance by: Ingvar Wixell - 1965



A night of spring is a lovely thing
But I feel sad in this night of spring
For this is the time the sloe gets bright
And this is a most bewitching night
And I am lonely and you are far
And you can't hear what I sing

I wish I knew where you are tonight
I wish you're thinking of me tonight
Where are you tonight?
I wish you feel how I long for you
And I wish you're missing me too
And I wish I knew where to go
Knowing you
Knowing you

We ought to walk where the cowslips grow
Behind the hedge of candescent sloe
And you ought to smile and look at me
And I ought to kiss you tenderly
But I don't know if you still are mine
This lovely evening of spring

I wish I knew where you are tonight
I wish you're thinking of me tonight
Where are you tonight?

I wish you feel how I long for you
And I wish you're missing me too
And I wish I knew where to go
Knowing you
Knowing you

Tonight

Since You Broke My Heart


Since You Broke My Heart
Composer(s): Don Everly
First recording/First release by: The Everly Brothers - 1959/1960
Covered by multiple other artists



They say the blues went out of style
To cry is to act just like a child
Smile each day that we're apart
But I kind of feel I never will
Since you broke me heart

They say the best way's not to care
Just play a few hands of solitaire
Read a book or study art
All the remedies don't work for me
Since you broke my heart

They say the blues went out of style
To cry is to act just like a child
Smile each day that we're apart
But I kind of feel I never will
Since you broke me heart
