Happy Good Morning Blues


Happy Good Morning Blues
Composer(s): Bruce Cockburn
Performer(s): Bruce Cockburn



Good day to you
Fat balloon man
May you always have air
You sing a song everybody can believe

Good day to you
Uncle tom cat
Out to trick the whole world
You carry a tune for nobody but yourself

Bonjour à toi
Herr policeman
May your boots always fit
Someday you'll find a song you can believe

Good morning good people
The sun is long sailing
The only clouds you see
Are carried within
Soon they'll be blown all away
Wind's gonna rise and blow those clouds away
Wind's gonna rise and blow your blues away
Your sun's gonna shine in my back door
Some day ...

Soy


Soy
Composer(s): Honorio Herrero
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Al llegar primavera te quiero inocente
sin embargo en otoño te quiero impaciente
Un verano tan rojo me queman tus ojos
y en la paz del invierno me quitas el sueño
Y te quiero en la lluvia
y te quiero en el viento
y me mata de amor el latir de tu cuerpo
Y te quiero de noche y te quiero de día
y te adoro despierta y te añoro dormida
Y te amo en la luna y a la luz de una estrella
o en el más apartado rincón de la tierra
Yo te quiero de un modo que no te imaginas
y por ti vendería mi sangre y mi vida
Soy, un satélite tuyo
soy, un lucero en tu noche
soy, una estera en tus mares
soy, una chispa en tu fuego
soy, pañuelo de lágrimas
soy, tu señor y tu esclavo... Soy
Y te quiero en el tiempo segundo a segundo
y minuto a minuto te sigo queriendo
Y te amo semanas y meses y años
y los siglos futuros sabrán que te he amado
el espacio infinito se queda pequeño
comparado con todo el amor que te tengo
Soy, un satélite tuyo
soy, un lucero en tu noche
soy, una estera en tus mares
soy, una chispa en tu fuego
soy, pañuelo de lágrimas
soy, tu señor y tu esclavo... Soy

Reise Nach Jerusalem


Reise Nach Jerusalem
First performance by: Sürpriz - 1999



Selâm, selâm, hand in hand on the journey to Jerusalem

Selâm, selâm, laßt uns geh'n auf die Reise nach Jerusalem
Selâm, selâm, hadi gidelim Kudüs'e hep birlikte

Schon als ich ein Kind war, spielten wir dieses Spiel
Reise nach Jerusalem, einer nur kommt ans Ziel
Denn wenn der Rhythmus plötzlich schweigt
Heißt das, es ist vorbei, kein Platz mehr frei

Selâm, selâm, laßt uns geh'n auf die Reise nach Jerusalem
Selâm, selâm, hadi gidelim Kudüs'e hep birlikte

Wir haben einen Traum, der nie die Kraft verliert
Leben ist eine Reise, die nach morgen führt
Frieden ist mehr als nur ein Spiel bei dem nur einer gewinnt
Weil wir Menschen sind

Selâm, selâm, laßt uns geh'n auf die Reise nach Jerusalem
Selâm, selâm, hadi gidelim Kudüs'e hep birlikte

We walk hand in hand to a peaceful land
Barýþ olsun diye yürüyelim el ele
We walk hand in hand to a peaceful land
Dost kalýrsak eðer yarýþamaya deðer
And if we stay friends, a dream will live forever
Ve bir zaman, hedefe vardýðýmýz an, irgendwann kommen wir an

Selâm, selâm, laßt uns geh'n auf die Reise nach Jerusalem
Selâm, selâm, hadi gidelim Kudüs'e hep birlikte
Selâm, selâm, here we go again on the journey to Jerusalem
Selâm, selâm, hadi gidelim Kudüs'e hep birlikte
Selâm, selâm, hand in hand on the journey to Jerusalem

Shalom, shalom, shalom 'al ha-olam
Shalom 'al ha-olam mi-Yerushalaim

Happy Ending (Phyllis Brooks)


Happy Ending
Composer(s): Lew Pollack; Sidney D. Mitchell
Performer(s): Phyllis Brooks; Shirley Temple



What do we all read a story book for
What do we look for, when it is through?
What does every Cinderella sigh for
What does she try for, till dreams come true?

Happy ending, with all our troubles behind
Happy ending, that's what we're trying to find!
Why didn't Cinderella waver? What made her braver?
She knew the Prince would come and save her!

Happy ending, the best of wonderful times
Always ending, just like in nursery rhymes!
May each thing you pray for bring you
Joy and laughter, ever after
Happy ending to you all!

Happy ending, with all our troubles behind
Happy ending, that's what we're trying to find!
Why didn't Cinderella waver? What made her braver?
She knew the Prince would come and save her!

Happy ending, the best of wonderful times
Always ending, just like in nursery rhymes!
May each thing you pray for bring you
Joy and laughter, ever after
Happy ending to you all

Sov Gott Min Lilla Vän


Sov Gott Min Lilla Vän
Composer(s): Eddy Marnay - Emil Stern - Agnetha Fältskog
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



En liten hand i min
Den är mjuk din varma kind
Du har haft en rolig dag
Nu bör du kanske sova

Mitt barn jag älskar dig
Du betyder allt för mig
Jag skall vagga dig till sömns
Och alltid finnas nära dig

En saga först
Du har så många frågor
Det finns så mycket
Som du ej kan förstå

En gång när du blir stor
Ska du se att på vår jord
Finns det barn som lider så
Sånt kan du ännu ej förstå

En saga först
Du har så många frågor
Det finns så mycket
Som du ej kan förstå

Sov gott min lilla vän
Kyss din mor godnatt och känn
Att jag lever blott för dig
Du ska för alltid va hos mig

Happy Ending (Elvis Presley)


Happy Ending
Composer(s): Leith Stevens; Sid Wayne; Ben Weisman
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



Happy ending, happy ending
Give me a story with a happy ending
When boy meets girl and then
They never part again
But live forever happily, like you and me

Har luck stories gets me so upset
Like Romeo, and Juliet
I'm not smart enough to figure why
Some folks enjoy, a real good cry

Happy ending, happy ending
Give me a story with a happy ending
When boy meets girl and then
They never part again
But live forever happily, like you and me

Never thought that I would stand a chance
That you'd give me, a second glance
Funny thing how fate can play the part
And give a guy, a helping heart

Happy ending, happy ending
Give me a story with a happy ending
When boy meets girl and then
They never part again
But live forever happily, like you and me

When boy meets girl and then, they never part again
But live forever happily, like you and me

Like you and me, like you and me
Like you and me

Take it, use it
Make me, prove it
However it might sound
I'm still the one
Who sticks around
When you're shut down
To the ground
Out on the run

Take me as I am
I'm here for you
I'm everywhere
I'm sure you know
I'm hanging there
For you to hold

I believe in love

I believe in fun
Not the only one
I believe in me
This is what you see
I believe in (believe in)
Believe in (believe in)

Take it, use it
Make me, prove it
Time will pass and die
Unlike me

And make you smile
And realize
I'm not shy

Take me as I am
I'm here for you
I'm everywhere
I'm sure you know
I'm hanging there
For you to hold

I believe in love
It's for everyone
I believe in peace
It's for you to keep

Souviens-Toi De Nous


Souviens-Toi De Nous
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel



Quelquefois au fond de ma mémoire
Il m'arrive de te revoir
Juste à mes côtés
Derrière nous dix huit ans à peine
Et devant les immenses plaines
De l'éternité
On avait l'eau des cascades
Et des lits d'herbe mouillée
J'écrivais des ballades
Pour te réchauffer
Ouh, souviens-toi de nous
Toi qui t'es envolé
Ouh, souviens-toi de nous
Dans ton palais doré
Et dis-moi s'il se passe autant de choses
Dans ton palais de marbre rose
Ta plage privée
Est-ce que tu entends le chant des cascades
Autour de tes miroirs de jade
Où tout ferme à clé
Mais rappelle-toi les orages
Quand nos cheveux s'emmêlaient
Sous les grands arbres sauvages
Où l'on s'abritait
Ouh, souviens-toi de nous
Toi qui t'es envolé
Ouh, souviens-toi de nous
Dans ton palais doré
Mais quelquefois au fond de ta Rolls noire
Il m'arrive de te revoir
Ils sont tous à tes pieds
Je sais qu'ils se battent pour te plaire
Mais tu ne les aperçois qu'au travers
De tes verres fumés, fumés
Ouh, souviens-toi de nous
Toi qui t'es envolé
Ouh, souviens-toi de nous
Dans ton palais doré
Ouh, souviens-toi de nous
Toi qui t'es envolé
Ouh, souviens-toi de nous
Sinon tu vas tomber

Happy Days Are Here Again


Happy Days Are Here Again
Composer(s): Milton Ager; Jack Yellen
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand



So long sad times
Go long bad times
We are rid of you at last

Howdy gay times
Cloudy gray times
You are now a thing of the past

Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again

Altogether shout it now
There's no one
Who can doubt it now
So let's tell the world about it now
Happy days are here again

Your cares and troubles are gone
There'll be no more from now on
From now on ...

Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So, let's sing a song of cheer again

Happy times
Happy nights
Happy days
Are here again!

Reflection


Reflection
Composer(s): Dave Moskin
First performance by: Bobbie Singer - 1999



When I'm sad, I need a shoulder to cry on
When I'm bad, you know that I am better
When you're gone, you're the one that I'm thinking of
When I come, it's to you that I run

There's no need to be lonely
I'll be there everytime for you
Isn't that the way it's supposed to be?
Well, sometimes memories will have to do

But don't you recognise me?
Oh... I'm the one that you have seen
The reflection in your eyes
The reflection in your eyes

They say it's a long way to heaven
But they're wrong, 'cause heaven is you
If I fall from grace everlasting
There you are to make everything new

We can fly forever
Wrap yourself around my emotions
It's only getting better and better
Don't ever think to doubt my devotion

But don't you recognise me?
Oh... I'm the one that you have seen
The reflection in your eyes
The reflection in your eyes, the reflection in your eyes
The reflection in your eyes, the reflection in your eyes

Oh... reflection in your eyes
The reflection in your eyes

But don't you recognise me?
Oh... I'm the one that you have seen
The reflection in your eyes
The reflection in your eyes, the reflection in your eyes
The reflection in your eyes, reflection in your eyes
The reflection in your eyes

Happy Days And Lonely Nights


Happy Days And Lonely Nights
Composer(s): Fred Fisher; Billy Rose
Performer(s): Perry Como & The Fontane Sisters;
and various other artists



My memory takes me to
The wonderful nights we knew
When I made love to you until the dawn
You left and to my surprise
I'm laughing with tear dimmed eyes
Because I realise
I can't go on my darling

With the parting of the ways
You took all my happy days
And left me lonely nights
Morning never comes too soon
I can face the afternoon
But oh, those lonely nights
I feel your arms around me
Your kisses linger yet
You taught me how to love you
Now teach me to forget!
You broke my heart a million ways
When you took my happy days
And left me lonely nights

The beautiful month of May
Without you is sad and grey
Oh, how I hate the day, I let you go
I find that my happiness
Depends on your sweet caress
I thought I lov'd you less
But now I know, my darling

With the parting of the ways
You took all my happy days
And left me lonely nights
Morning never comes too soon
I can face the afternoon
But oh, those lonely nights
I feel your arms around me
Your kisses linger yet
You taught me how to love you
Now teach me to forget!
You broke my heart a million ways
When you took my happy days
And left me lonely nights

Souviens-Toi De M'oublier


Souviens-Toi De M'oublier
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Cathérine Deneuve; Serge Gainsbourg; Maurice Garrel



Souviens-toi de m'oublier
J'vais y penser
Réfléchis comme un miroir
J'vais voir
Et souviens-toi de m'oublier
J'vais essayer
L'amnésie a le pouvoir
D'la magie noire

Souviens-toi de m'oublier
Et quand je pleurerai
Fais un nœud à ton mouchoir
Pour ta mémoire
Et souviens-toi de m'oublier
J'vais y penser
Les flash-back c'est comme voir
Des films noirs

Souviens-toi de m'oublier
Ouais j'vais y penser
Réfléchis comme un miroir
J'vais voir
Et souviens-toi de m'oublier
J'vais essayer
Tu sais bien qu'il va falloir
Ne plus nous voir

Souviens-toi de m'oublier
Mais souviens-toi

Tra la-la-la-la la-la-la-la
Happy birthday sweet sixteen

Tonight's the night I've waited for
Because you're not a baby anymore
You've turned into the prettiest girl I've ever seen
Happy birthday sweet sixteen

What happened to that funny face
My little tomboy now wears satin and lace
I can't believe my eyes you're just a teenage dream
Happy birthday sweet sixteen

When you were only six I was your big brother
Then when you were ten
We didn't like each other
When you were thirteen
You were my funny valentine
But since you've grown up
Your future is sewn up
From now on you're gonna be mine, so

If I should smile with sweet surprise
It's just that you've grown up before my very eyes
You've turned into the prettiest girl I've ever seen
Happy birthday sweet sixteen

If I should smile with sweet surprise
It's just that you've grown up before my very eyes
You've turned into the prettiest girl I've ever seen

When You Need Me


When You Need Me
Composer(s): Bronagh Mullan
First performance by: The Mullans - 1999



And you would always be there
In everything I'd do
But the fool that I am
Never tried to understand

When you needed someone
To help you through the rain
But this child inside of me
Never let me feel your pain

And how I've let it all just slip away
And now I'm wishing for yesterday

Don't you go on your own
Don't leave me here alone
'Cause I'll be there
Yes, I swear
When you need me I'll be there
Don't you go
I'm on my own
Don't you go

You've been my inspiration
All along the way
But I can see it in your eyes
Well, there's no more yesterday

But I will find my way back
No matter what it takes
For the first time I can see
The love you lost on me

Don't you go on your own
Don't leave me here alone
'Cause I'll be there
Yes, I swear
When you need me I'll be there
Don't you go, no, no

And now I've let it all just slip away
But the fool, the fool's inside of me

Don't you go on your own
Don't leave me here alone
'Cause I'll be there
Yes, I swear
When you need me I'll be there
Don't you go
I'm on my own
Don't you go

Souvenirs, Souvenirs


Souvenirs, Souvenirs
Composer(s): Fernand Bonifay - Cy Coben
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday; Sylvie Vartan



Souvenirs, souvenirs
Je vous retrouve dans mon cœur
Et vous faites refleurir
Tous mes rêves de bonheur

Je me souviens d'un soir de danse
Joue contre joue
Des rendez-vous de nos vacances
Quand nous faisions les fous

Souvenirs, souvenirs
De nos beaux jours de l'été
Lorsque nous partions cueillir
Mille fleurs, mille baisers

Et pour mieux garder dans ma tête
Les joies de la belle saison

Souvenirs, souvenirs
Il nous reste nos chansons

Souvenirs, souvenirs
Quelque part dans le matin
Où le soleil semble rire
Tout le longs, de nos chemins

Nous n'avions au fond de nos poches
Qu'un peu d'espoir
Mais nous partions comme Gavroche
Le cœur assez babar

Souvenirs, souvenirs
Vous revenez dans ma vie
Illuminant l'avenir
Lorsque mon ciel est trop gris

On dit que le temps vous emporte
Et pourtant ça, J'en suis certain
Souvenirs, souvenirs
Vous resterez mes copains

Happy Birthday, Leonid Brezhnev


Happy Birthday, Leonid Brezhnev
Composer(s): Joan Baez



Happy birthday, Leonid Brezhnev
What a lovely seventy-fifth
We watched the party on TV
You seemed to be taking things casually
What a mighty heart must beat in your breast
To hold forty-nine medals on your chest
Think of all the gifts that you've got
Some were acquired and some were not
Like a natural talent for marionettes
Who do your dirty work and cover your bets
So with one hand waving free
The other one crushed a budding democracy

Congratulations, Jaruzelski
What a wonderful job you have done
Let me mention to a sane man's eye
You've lost the meaning of compromise
They're comparing you to General Pinochet
It's a dubious compliment at best
Your people are freezing, the workers are bleeding
You've already arranged numerous deaths
The only difference in the camps from the stadiums
Is not much for the doomed all cry
It's only the weather and the songs people sing
Just before they die

Do you hear us, Lech Walesa?
What a terrible price you have paid
For being ahead of your time
Has surely constituted a crime
Oh, Mr. Brezhnev, look
Somebody read the little red book
And took it all seriously
The way you did when you were young and you believed
And you workers and you black Madonna
You're not supposed to utter a word
But the courage of you and your man of the year
Is a symphony the world has seldom seen or heard
Through the Siberian gates of hell
The Pope and the bishops are wishing you well
We see your candles in the park
Hear your fearless promises in the dark
How they cheat and when tried to win
They didn't know that there would always be within you
And we hear you, Lech Walesa
Yes, we hear you, Lech Walesa
Yes, we hear you, Lech Walesa
Yes, we hear you, Lech Walesa

Como Tudo Começou


Como Tudo Começou
First performance by: Rui Bandera - 1999



Quem me vai dizer como é que tudo começou?
A minha vida já não faz sentido agora
Eu sei, não vai haver nenhuma forma de te ver
Sem eu saber porque razão te foste embora

E sem querer fazer-te mal nunca soube ser igual
Ao que tu imaginavas para ti

Dá-me a tua mão, não mintas mais
Olha que os teus olhos são cristais
Por favor, não digas que não sais
Porque eu sei sempre onde tu vais

Já não há razão para viver sem a paixão
Que me atormenta e persegue a toda a hora

Pois sem querer fiz tanto mal, nunca soube ser igual
Ao que tu imaginavas para ti

Dá-me a tua mão, não mintas mais
Olha que os teus olhos são cristais
Por favor, não digas que não sais
Porque eu sei sempre onde tu vais

Dá-me a tua mão, não mintas mais
Olha que os teus olhos são cristais
Dá-me a tua mão
