Hallelujah, I Love Her So


Hallelujah, I Love Her So
Composer(s): Ray Charles
Performer(s): Ray Charles; and various other artists



Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
She is my baby and she lives next door
Every mornin' 'fore the sun comes up
She brings me coffee in my favorite cup
That's why I know, yes, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so

When I'm in trouble and I have no friend
I know she'll go with me until the end
Everybody asks me how I know
I smile at them and say, "She told me so"
That's why I know, oh, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so

Now, if I call her on the telephone
And tell her that I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four
I hear her [Knock-Knock-Knock-Knock] on my door

In the evening when the sun goes down
When there is nobody else around
She kisses me and she holds me tight
And tells me, "Daddy, everything's all right"
That's why I know, yes, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so

Now, if I call her on the telephone
And tell her that I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four
I hear her [Knock-Knock-Knock-Knock] on my door

In the evening when the sun goes down
When there is nobody else around
She kisses me and she holds me tight
And tells me, "Daddy, everything's all right"
That's why I know, yes, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so
Oh, hallelujah
Don't you know, I just love her so
She's my little woman, waitin' all this time
Babe, I'm a little fool for you, little girl...

Hangin‘ off chandeliers wilding out like what
You see the wood frames, the mats, the wood grain
On the inside panel of a Jeep 4-Brave (what?)
And the floor‘s all marble on a much higher bracket
Business never personal, that’s why we vinyl wrapped it
Sky’s the limit so the kid pops glass
My brothers we done came up not givin' a F, how?

Hallelujah (Vic Damone & Tony Martin)


Hallelujah
Composer(s): Vincent Youmans; Clifford Grey; Leo Robin
Performer(s): Vic Damone & Tony Martin;
and various other artists



I'm recalling times when I was small
in light and free jubilee days
Old folks praying everybody swaying
Loudly, I chanted my praise
How I sang about the Judgement morn
And of Gabriel tooting on his horn
In that sunny land of milk and honey
I had no complaints
While I thought of Saints
So I say to all who feel forlorn

Sing "Hallelujah! Hallelujah!"
and you'll shoo the blues away
When cares pursue you, "Hallelujah!"
Gets you through the darkest day
Satan lies awaiting and creating skies of grey
But "Hallelujah! Hallelujah!"
Helps to shoo the clouds away

Sentiments Songes


Sentiments Songes
First performance by: Fanny - 1997



Souvent on s'fait des tours de manège à l'envers
On découvre l'amour, mais sans les belles manières
On s'invente des histoires, histoires de s'faire planer
On s'maquille la mémoire pour éviter de penser

C'est comme l'eau d'un ruisseau, ça coule sans s'arrêter
Tout c'qu'on a trouvé beau, à force s'est cassé
Ça fait pas vraiment mal, sauf qu'on se sent à côté
Du brillant des étoiles et qu'on ne veut plus donner

Sentiments, sentiments, songes utiles
Utilisation pour mots d'amour fragiles
Sentiments, sentimentales souffrances
Légère comme un silence
Jeu de larmes pour nuits blanches

Suppositions câlines
Oh...

C'est comme l'arme du crime, faut l'empreinte pour prouver
Prouver qu'on s'fait du mal ou qu'on se fait du bien
Tout c'qu'est moche on l'étale
C'qu'était bon plus personne s'en souvient

Et ça fait des souvenirs étrangement précis
Des choses qu'on peut écrire ou ranger dans sa vie
On ne sait plus vraiment ce qui est faux ou vrai
Mais c'qui est important c'est que tout ça, on l'ait fait

Sentiments, sentiments songes utiles
Utilisation pour mots d'amour fragiles
Sentiments, sentimentales souffrances
Légère comme un silence
Jeu de larmes pour nuits blanches

Oh, sentiments

Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen)


Hallelujah
Composer(s): Leonard Cohen
First release by: Leonard Cohen - 1984
Covered by multiple other artists
Titles In Other Languages:
2004 - Hallelujah (by Rob de Nijs)
2008 - Aleluya
2009 - Desatero



I've heard there was a secret chord
that David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music
Do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor Fall
The major lift
The baffled king composing, hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair, she broke your throne
she cut your hair and from your lips she drew the halleujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
love is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What's real and going on below
but now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah…

Soul Searchin'


Soul Searchin'
Composer(s): Andy Paley - Brian Wilson
Performer(s): Solomon Burke



I was a fool
I told a lie
I did you wrong
I made you cry

So now I'm walkin' all alone
Down the darkest street in town
Standing in the rain
While my tears keep fallin' down

I'm soul searchin'
How could I say goodbye to you?
I'm soul searchin'
I made you cry
How could I leave
Somebody like you
How could I do all the silly things
That I do
What makes me try the way I do
Act a fool the way I do
I need you so bad baby
Won't you come back to me?

I'm soul searchin'
But nobody likes my baby
I keep soul searchin'
It's driving me crazy
Why did I ever say goodbye
I must be outta my mind
I keep walkin' and lookin' for a sign
I gotta be crazy baby
To ever let you go
I keep lookin' for a sign

Oh why
Do I get all the bad breaks
How could I make
Such stupid mistakes
But the truth won't come to me
No matter how I wreck my brain
The rain keeps fallin' down
And I keep callin' out your name

I'm soul searchin'

Like an autumn leaf that is drifitng
Through a chilly November day
I was restless and drifting
Never happy, never gay

For Your love dear Lord in my heart
For the happiness You gave me

in the mountain
For the sunshine that lights up the sky
For the water in the fountain, Hallelujah!

I walked in sadness
and my song was troubled
I walked in sadness
Seeking peace and happiness everywhere

By chanced in my adventures
One evening God I have found
To Him I give my solitude
And His friendship saved me

Stemmen I Mit Liv


Stemmen I Mit Liv
Composer(s): Kølig Kaj
First performance by: Kølig Kaj - 1997



"Det er Oplysningen, hallo"
"Ja, hallo, det er Kaj, ka' jeg snak' med hende den søde?"
"Hvem er den søde?"
"Ja, stemmen i mit liv"

(Jeg tænder på dig, og ka' ikk' nå dig for)
(Du' så langt fra mig)

Jeg går og føler mig lidt ensom, fordi jeg savner en
Jeg kan dele mit liv med, det er ved at være et problem
Jeg ringer til dig, men kan ikke få det sagt
Når modet det så kommer, så er røret jo lagt på

Klokken er to, jeg har prøvet flere gange
Du er ikk' og træffe, svaret er det samme
Hvorfor er du borte, når jeg er lige her?
Hvorfor er jeg ene? Jeg føler mig så sær

Jeg skyder over målet, hver gang jeg tror, jeg sigter
Føler mig så sikker, men kontakten til dig svigter
Har det ad helvede til, jeg drikker mig fuld
Alt dette for glemme dig og så din stemme

(Jeg tænder på dig, og ka' ikk' nå dig) for
(Du' så langt fra mig), du er stemmen i mit liv
(Jeg ringer til dig, bar' jeg ku' se dig) for
(Du' så langt fra mig), ja, du er stemmen i mit liv

Jeg ble' fyret fra mit job, fordi jeg ringed' i arbejdstiden
Det ku' ikke stoppe mig, jeg ville hør' dig hele tiden
Lige sid'n har min mobilregning vokset
Skylder folk penge, og mit liv er lidt kokset

Selvom jeg er artigt opvokset, ka' jeg ikk' la' vær
Telefonen er nær, nummeret giver mig ikke besvær
Med at huske, for det er bare en, en og otte
Har ikk' snakket i dag, bar' jeg ku' nå det

For først var det Molly, så var det Lone, så var det Lis
Så var det Mette, så var det Helle, så var det Kis
Men hende, jeg ville snakke med, var ikke ved røret
Havd' ringet tyve gange, tænkte løbet var kørt

For bar' et enkelt svar kunne redde min dag
Men der var ingen lyse håb, intet svar jeg vil ha'
Til sidst faldt jeg om, med min telefon i hånden
Med drømmen om dig, din stemme i ånden

(Jeg tænder på dig), yeah... (og ka' ikk' nå dig) for
(Du' så langt fra mig), du er stemmen i mit liv
(Jeg ringer til dig, bar' jeg ku' se dig) for
(Du' så langt fra mig), ja, du er stemmen i mit liv

Nå men, jeg må tage mig sammen ven
Gribe telefonen og så prøve igen
Jeg trykked' en, en, otte, ønskede, håbede
"Det er Oplysningen", og så stod jeg og måbede

"Hej, det er Kaj, du..."
"Der er i øjeblikket en kort ventetid på ca. tyve sekunder
Ventetiden er gratis"
"Jeg elsker dig"

(Jeg tænder på dig), yeah... (og ka' ikk' nå dig) for
(Du' så langt fra mig), du er stemmen i mit liv
(Jeg ringer til dig, bar' jeg ku' se dig) for
(Du' så langt fra mig), ja, du er stemmen i mit liv

(Jeg tænder på dig)

Hallazgo De Las Piedras


Hallazgo De Las Piedras
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



El mundo entra por la puerta
con mil sabores que no puedo recordar
Cómo ha crecido lo que miro
los viejos ruidos ya no sirven para hablar
Ya descubrí los ascensores
los cines y las construcciones
la fosforera y el avión
y otras cosas que conozco bien
que cuando niño no sabía observar
(entonces no necesitaba
con los juegos siempre basta
para comprender)

Crecí parejo como un cielo
lleno de objetos que brillaban con el sol
como vivir frente a un espejo
y no saberlo hasta tocarme y verme yo
Y todo crece en cada libro
en cada cinta, en cada cuento
en cada vista alrededor
Y es doloroso aprender a vivir
todo profana la atención vital
Hay tantas luces en la sala
tanta gente que nos llama
que no se oye nada

Este pedazo de la historia
es aguerrido para ver y reposar
Parece que es definitivo
se rompe todo y todo vuelve a comenzar

Halfway To Paradise

Performer(s): Billy Fury;
and various other artists



I want to be your lover
But your friend is all I've stayed
I'm only halfway to paradise
So near, yet so far away

I long for your lips to kiss my lips
But just when I think they may
You lead me halfway to paradise
So near, yet so far away, mmm

Bein' close to you is almost heaven (heaven)
But seein' you can do just so much
It hurts me so to know your heart's a treasure (treasure)
And that my heart is forbidden to touch, so

Put your sweet lips close to my lips
And tell me that's where they're gonna stay
Don't lead me halfway to paradise
Mmm, so near, yet so far away

Oh, uh, oh so near, yet so far away
Yeah, yeah so near, yet so far away

Let Me Fly


Let Me Fly
Composer(s): Ray Agius
First performance by: Debbie Scerri - 1997



Each time I hear the music play
It makes me feel that way
The memories we once shared
Come back inside me

And when I hear that same old song
Throughout the whole night long
The pains that we've been through
All fade away

Let me fly and I will reach way up high
I will climb the steps that lead to the sky
Where the clouds caress your face with my tears
Let me try - I can fly

Let me hear the songs that I never played
I will find the keys that open the gate
Of my dreams, which light the flame in my life
If they die, I can't fly

Hahah, hahahah
Hahah, hahah, hahah

And when the music stops to play
The thrill soon fades away
Dark shadows from the past
Will haunt my day

Let me fly and I will reach way up high
I will climb the steps that lead to the sky
Where the clouds caress your face with my tears
Let me try - I can fly

Let me hear the songs that I never played
I will find the keys that open the gate
Of my dreams, which light the flame in my life
If they die, I can't fly

Till I die, let me fly

My mother's people were ashamed of me
The Indian's said that I was white by law
The white man always called me Indian Squaw

Both sides were against me since the day I was born

The other children always laughed at me
Give her a feather she's a Cherokee

Half breed

My life since then has been from man to man
But I can't run away from what I am

Half breed

Sortilegio


Sortilegio
Composer(s): Domínguez - Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Qué se hace una mañana
cuando ves amanecer
y la vida es una larga
caminata por hacer

Qué se hace si esa hora
fuera rara y familiar
y al oído te confiara
todo lo que va a pasar

Qué se hace si el recuerdo
se parece al porvenir
Qué se hace si el adentro
te pregunta si salir

Qué se hace si las nubes
te dibujan por doquier
sortilegios que supiste
sortilegios por saber

Sortilegio sortilegio
de la copa a la raíz
sortilegio sortilegio
cada calle es tu país

Sortilegio sortilegio
de la tribu a la nación
sortilegio sortilegio
cada día es tu canción

Tolerancia tolerancia
palabrita en el mantel
pocos platos se la sirven
muchas bocas a comer

Veintiuno veintiuno
firmamento del dos mil
en el cielo la paloma
va en la mira del fusil

Qué se hace una mañana
en que todo lo que fue
te parece una migaja
de lo que pudiera ser

Qué se hace qué se hace
sino acaso respirar
y con tu sorbo de aire
levantarte y caminar

Sortilegio sortilegio
de la copa a la raíz
sortilegio sortilegio
cada calle es tu país

Sortilegio sortilegio
de la tribu a la nación
sortilegio sortilegio
cada día es tu canción

Hambone! Hambone!

Hambone, hambone
where you been?
Round the world and I’m going again
What you gonna do when you come back?
Take a little walk by the railroad track
Hambone

Hambone, hambone
Have you heard?
Papa’s gonna buy me a mocking bird
And if that mocking bird don’t sing
Papa’s gonna buy me a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring don’t shine
Papa’s gonna take it to the five and dime
Hambone

Hambone, hambone
Where you been?
Round the world and I’m going again
I just skinned an alley cat
To make my wife a Sunday hat
Took the hide right off a goat
To make my wife a Sunday coat

Hambone, hambone
Where’s your wife
Out to the kitchen, cooking beans and rice
Hambone (2x)

Hambone, hambone
Trying to eat
Ketchup on his elbow, pickle on his feet
Bread in the basket
Chicken in the stew
Supper on the fire for me and you

Look at him holler, look at him moan
That hambone just can’t hambone
Hambone (2x)

The Voice (Eimear Quinn)


The Voice
Composer(s): Brendan J. Graham
First performance by: Eimear Quinn - 1996



I hear your voice on the wind
And I hear you call out my name

"Listen my child," you say to me
"I am the voice of your history"
"Be not afraid, come follow me"
"Answer my call and I'll set you free"

I am the voice in the wind and the pouring rain
I am the voice of your hunger and pain
I am the voice that always is calling you
I am the voice, I will remain

I am the voice in the fields when the summer's gone
The dance of the leaves when the autumn winds blow
Ne'er do I sleep throughout all the cold winter long
I am the force that in springtime will grow

I am the voice of the past that will always be
Filled with my sorrows and blood in my fields
I am the voice of the future
Bring me your peace
Bring me your peace and my wounds, they will heal

I am the voice in the wind and the pouring rain
I am the voice of your hunger and pain
I am the voice that always is calling you
I am the voice

I am the voice of the past that will always be
I am the voice of your hunger and pain
I am the voice of the future
I am the voice
I am the voice
I am the voice
I am the voice

Half The Way


Half The Way
Composer(s): Bobby Wood; Ralph Murphy
Performer(s): Crystal Gayle



Half of your love is just not what I'm after
Part of your world is just not what I need
Some of your time is like one glass of water
Just leaves me thirsty for wine

So fill me up to the top
Wo don't you stop till I'm over-flowing
Love is the seed and, babe, I need you
To keep it growing
Stronger every day
Oh, no
Don't take me half the way
Don't take me half the way.

Never before have I settled for second
All of my life I have hungered for more
Now I can see where your sweet love can lead me
This is what I've waited for

Half of your love is just not what I'm after
Part of your world is just not what I need
Now I can see where your sweet love can lead me
This is what I've waited for

Composer(s): Irving Gordon - Mack Gordon
Performer(s): Edmundo Ros; Tony Martin



I met my love one day, on the border down El Paso way
She was a little sad a little gay
She was sorta on the border

I heard her say, "Senor, tho I kinda like you more and more
In old Sonora there's a matador
And I'm sorta on the border"

I vowed that night I would love no other
I held her tight, and if you want to know what happened
Brother drop around and see, we've the cutest little family
A girl that looks like her a boy like me
And one that's sorta on the border

I met my love one day, on the border down El Paso way

And I'm sorta on the border"

I vowed that night I would love no other

Half The Man (Twice The Fool)


Half The Man (Twice The Fool)
Composer(s): Paul Jones; Tom McGuinness
Performer(s): The Blues Band



When you were by my side
I would not be satisfied
I thought the grass was greener over the hill
You gave me your heart
But I held back a part
saying "Maybe" when I should have said "I will"

Now I must admit
that I could not commit
I thought I’d always be your Mister Right
And when you said "We’re through"
I said "There’ll be somebody new"
and let you walk away without a fight

(Leaving me)

Half the man and twice the fool I was
Had a master-plan – believed I was the boss
Now I’m at the hard knock school
‘cause I broke the golden rule
Now I’m half the man and twice the fool I was

A man can spend his days
in a melancholic haze
of yesterdays and how-things-used-to-be
Hindsight’s never wrong
Now I know where I belong
There’s no woman in this world but you for me

Time and time again
there were warnings from my friends
They said "You’ll lose her if you carry on this way"
But I was Mr Know-It-All
riding for a fall
When you walked out the blues walked in to stay

(Finding me)

Half the man ………
Look at this three time loser
Now that you’re gone
I lost my heart, I lost your love
I lost the will to carry on
Half the man ……

I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry Suzanne
Believe me, I was wrong
and I knew I was all along
Forgive me

I still love you, more than ever
I'm sorry Suzanne, for ever hurting you
You know I never wanted to
I'm truly sorry, Suzanne

I could never ever justify
all the tears I made you cry
But I do regret it, my Suzanne
You got to believe me

I was looking 'round for someone new
What a foolish thing to do
All the time I knew it
Heaven knows what made me do it, girl

I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry Suzanne
Believe me, I was wrong
and I knew I was all along, all along
I'm truly sorry, Suzanne

If you would only take me back again
things would be so different then
What I wouldn't give for
one more chance to live for you, Suzanne

I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry Suzanne
Believe me, I was wrong
and I knew I was all along
Forgive me

I still love you, more than ever
I'm sorry Suzanne, for ever hurting you
You know I never wanted to
I'm truly sorry, Suzanne
