Huwelijksreis
Huwelijksreis
Performer(s): Wim Sonneveld
M'n vrouw is alleen op huwelijksreis sinds 13 april
De prijs van de reis voor twee maakt meteen een reuze verschil
Ik ben nou maar blij dat ze voor haar vertrek
Nog tegen me zei: "Aan werk geen gebrek
De heg moet geknipt, de tuin omgespit
Het schuurtje gewit"
Twee weken terug ontving ik een brief, wat schrijft ze toch mooi
Ik ben al een maand aan de Cote d' Azur, dus niet meer in 't Gooi
Ik ontmoette, hoe vind je 't, ik zag het meteen
Van vroeger een vrindje, dat was ook alleen
Hij was met de wagen en bood me toen aan
Naar Nice mee te gaan
Ze schreef/schrijft ook: "We hebben hier op het strand veel pret met elkaar
't Hotel is echt chique en 'k ben al erg bruin, nou, 't beste dan maar
Wat een aardig gebaar van die vroegere vrind
't Gebeurt niet zo vaak dat je zo iemand vindt
Wat zal ze veel leren, want reizen, vind ik
Verruimt zo de blik
En als ze straks thuiskomt ziet ze meteen ons nieuwe behang
Wat zal ze verrast/verrukt zijn als ze de loper ontdekt in de gang
M'n buurman, die zegt: "Dat vrouwtje van jou
Blijft mij te lang weg, vergeet 'r maar gauw"
M'n vrouw is alleen op huwelijksreis sinds 13 april
Waarom zegt zo'n man eigenlijk: "Vergeet je vrouw maar gauw"
Hoe kan ik dat nou?

A Ray Of Hope
A Ray Of Hope
Composer(s): Eddie Brigati - Felix Cavaliere
Performer(s): The Rascals; Soul Generation
Most people got soul if they wanna try
Let love be your goal and let it fly
Cause it's easy to hate and to draw a line
But error is human forgiveness is divine
I know a lot of people who think like me
That this world can be a place that's filled with harmony
First there's a lot of things we've got to rearrange
Put an end to hate and lies
So peace can come and truth shall reign
As long as there is a ray of hope
Lord, I don't mind going out and doin' my work
Light up the way to brotherhood
Help us to make His dream understood
Sometimes the road gets a little bit rough
Your strength is all gone, you had enough
But there's people who win without making fists
Our world won't survive lest we think like this
I can't imagine any greater need
To treat each other as we'd like to be
It's a gas just knowing what is yet to come
Not unless we get together
Got to get together one by one
As long as there is a ray of hope
Lord, I don't mind goin out and doin my work
Light up the way to brotherhood
I got to keep on searchin, keep on searchin
Till I find out
Keep on searchin, keep on searchin
Till I find out
Keep on searchin, keep on searchin
Till I find out
Gonna take a little look way down inside
Gotta find out Lord, why I'm alive
We'll pray for a day when all men are free
And people can live like they're meant to be
Meanwhile it's all up to you and me
Start working together towards this dream
As long as there is a ray of hope
Lord, I don't mind goin out and doin my work
Light up the way to brotherhood
Help us to make His dream understood
As long as there is a ray of hope
I got to wait my turn till I can vote
As long as there is a ray of hope

Wouldn't nobody let me do what I want to do

A Ratos
A Ratos
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero
A ratos de tu cuerpo
brotaba la alegría
iluminaba todo
con la luz de harina
A ratos la tristeza
brotaba de tu cuerpo
y todo lo anochecen
sombras de fuego
Por largas avenidas
a ratos caminamos
dices que un tren oscuro
te anda llamando
Lumbres enloquecidas
me dices que te llaman
No mires nunca, niña
pozos sin agua

Marchin’ across the green grass, green grass, green grass
Marchin’ across the green grass on a husky dusky day

A Railroad Bum
A Railroad Bum
Composer(s): J.A. Balthrop
Performer(s): Jim Reeves; Buddy Cagle
I used to be a railroad bum
A-livin' on the go
I rode freights from Canada
Down to Mexico
From sunny Cal to Minnesota
Where the ripplin' waters fall
I never seemed to have a dime
But I had myself a ball
Singin' hi le hi lo he-li-li-le-li-lo
I used to ba a railroad bum
But I'm not anymore
I walked in the Silver Dollar
In Reno one night
I dropped a quarter in a one-armed bandit
The lemons lined up right
Took my winnin's then played poker
And I won ten thousand more
I used to be railroad bum
But I'm not anymore
Singin' hi le hi lo he-li-li-le-li-lo
I used to ba a railroad bum
But I'm not anymore
When cotton's white in Tennessee
And shrimp boats sail in Maine
Each pickin' time
Soon you'll find me
Ridin' a Georgia train
'Cause I get restless when I'm still
I guess I always will
Wanna keep travellin' all my life
Over another hill
Singin' hi le hi lo he-li-li-le-li-lo
I used to ba a railroad bum
But I'm not anymore
Singin' hi le hi lo he-li-li-le-li-lo
I used to ba a railroad bum
But I'm not anymore

Hush-A-Bye Island
Composer(s): Harold Adamson; Jimmy McHugh
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
Close your eyes, my little darling
'cause it's time to drift away
To Hush-a-bye Island on Rock-a-bye Bay
Buy a candy-coated mountain, you have lots of time to play
On Hush-a-bye Island on Rock-a-bye Bay
You can take the Toy-Town Trolley and meet the jolly Times Express
No one there is melancholy, it's an isle of happiness
Don't you keep your dreamboat waiting, hope you have a pleasant stay
On Hush-a-bye Island on Rock-a-bye Bay
You can take the Toy-Town Trolley and meet the jolly Times Express
No one there is melancholy, it's an isle of happiness
Don't you keep your dreamboat waiting, hope you have a pleasant stay
On Hush-a-bye Island on Rock-a-bye Bay

The Ragpicker's Dream
The Ragpicker's Dream
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Mark Knopfler
When Jack Frost came for Christmas
With a brass monkey date
The rail-king and the scarecrow
Hopped a florlda freight
And they blew on their paper cups
And stared through the steam
Then they drank half a bottle
Of ragpicker's dream where
The whiskey keeps following
Cold pitchers of beer
Me and my associate
Like the clientele here get
The onions and the 'taters
Rib-eyes on the grill
Toothpicks and luckies
And a coffee refill as
The rail-king lay rocking
He was leaving the ground
Then he was flying like santa claus
Over the town where
He came to the window
Of a house by a stream
It was a family christmas
In the ragpicker's dream there
Were kids at the table
All aglow in the light
Music in the wintertime
Sure carries at night there
Was turkey and gravy
Pie and ice-cream
And gifts for each and everyone
In the ragpicker's dream where
The red-eye keeps tumbling
In our glasses of beer
Me and my associate
Like the service in here there's
A ten for your trouble
You have beautiful hair
Make the last one two doubles
It's a cold one out there where
The scarecrow and the rail-king
Have started to dance
But a nightstick and a billyclub
Won't give peace a chance here
I think they went thataways
Your song and dance team
Heading home for the holidays
With the ragpicker's dream on
His knees like a fighter
The rail-riding king
Like a sack of potatoes
Like a bull in the ring where
The scarecrow falls over
With a tear in the seam
Home for the rover
In the ragpicker's dream where
The red-eye keeps tumbling
Like tears in our beer
Me and my associate
Like the ambience here where
They cornered two castaways
In a white flashlight beam
Merry christmas and happy days
In the ragpicker's dream

À Quoi Ça Sert L'amour?
À Quoi Ça Sert L'amour?
Composer(s): Michel Emer
Performer(s): Edith Piaf & Theo Sarapo
and multiple other artists
À quoi ça sert l’amour?
On raconte toujours
Des histoires insensées
À quoi ça sert l’amour?
L’amour ne s’explique pas!
C’est une chose comme ça!
Qui vient on ne sait d’où
Et vous prend tout à coup
Moi, j’ai entendu dire
Que l’amour fait souffrir
Que l’amour fait pleurer
À quoi ça sert d’aimer?
L’amour, ça sert à quoi?
À nous donner d’la joie
Avec des larmes aux yeux…
C’est triste et merveilleux!
Pourtant on dit souvent
Que l’amour est décevant
Qu’il y a un sur deux
Qui n’est jamais heureux…
Même quand on l’a perdu
L’amour qu’on a connu
Vous laisse un gout du miel
L’amour c’est éternel!
Tout ça c’est très joli
Mais quand tout est fini
Il ne vous reste rien
Qu’un immense chagrin…
Tout ce qui maintenant
Te semble déchirant
Demain, sera pour toi
Un souvenir de joie!
En somme, si j’ai compris
Sans amour dans la vie
Sans ses joies, ses chagrins
On a vécu pour rien?
Mais oui! Regarde-moi!
À chaque fois j’y crois!
Et j’y croirait toujours…
Ça sert à ça l’amour!
Mais toi, tu es le dernier!
Mais toi’ tu es le premier!
Avant toi y avait rien
Avec toi je suis bien!
C’est toi que je voulais!
C’est toi qu’il me fallait!
Toi que j’aimerais toujours…
Ça sert à ça l’amour!

Hush, Little Baby
Hush, Little Baby
(German Version: Sch ... Kleines Baby Wein Nicht Mehr)
(Traditional)
Hush, little baby, don't say a word
Mama's gonna buy you a mockin'bird
If that mockin'bird don't sing
Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring
If that diamond ring turns to brass
Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass
If that looking glass gets broke
Mama's gonna buy you a billy goat
If that billy goat don't pull
Mama's gonna buy you a cart and mule
If that cart and mule turn over
Mama's gonna buy you a dog named Rover
If that dog named Rover won't bark
Mama's gonna buy you a horse and cart
If that horse and cart fall down
You'll be the sweetest little baby in town

À Quoi Ça Sert?
À Quoi Ça Sert?
Composer(s): Françoise Hardy
Performer(s): Françoise Hardy
Comme toi j'ai un cœur qui ne peut rien promettre
à qui l'amour fait peur mais qui t'aime peut-être
à quoi ça sert de le cacher
à quoi ça sert d'y échapper?
Je n'ai rien à t'offrir que ce que mes yeux voient
tu ne veux pas souffrir mais qui ne souffre pas?
à quoi ça sert de l'éviter
à quoi ça sert de t'en aller?
À rester dans ta tour d'ivoire
en broyant du rose ou du noir
tout seul - tout seul
Comme on n'est pas très malheureux
on oublie qu'on n'est pas heureux
tout seul - tout seul
Je n'ai que les étoiles et rien d'autre pour toi
si l'on doit se faire mal c'est la vie qui veut ça
à quoi ça sert de rester seul
à quoi ça sert de vivre seul
Je n'ai que les étoiles et rien d'autre pour toi
si l'on doit se faire mal c'est la vie qui veut ça
à quoi ça sert de rester seul
à quoi ça sert de vivre seul tout seul..

Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte
Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte
Composer(s): Mack David; Frank DeVol
Performer(s): Patti Page;
Bette Davis; Al Martino; Gerry Mulligan
Chorus:
Hush hush, sweet Charlotte
Charlotte, don't you cry
Hush hush, sweet Charlotte
He'll love you till he dies
Oh, hold him darling
Please hold him tight
And brush the tear from your eye
You weep because you had a dream last night
You dreamed that he said goodbye
He held two roses within his hand
Two roses he gave to you
The red rose tells you of his passion
The white rose his love so true
Chorus
And every night after he shall die
Yes every night when he's gone
The wind will sing to you this lullaby
Sweet Charlotte was loved by John
Chorus

A Quiet Place To Live
A Quiet Place To Live
Composer(s): Carole King
Performer(s): Carole King
All I want is a quiet place to live
WHere I can enjoy the fruits of my labor
Read the paper
And not have to cry out loud
In my mind I can see it crystal clear
Sharing my dreams with the people around me
Now they surround me
ANd I'm just a part of the crowd
What will become of us
What about the children
What will they do to us next time around
What will the amswer be
What will it mean to me
When are they gonna see we're underground
Here underground
And all I want is a quiet place to live
WHere I can be free in a world of my making
Instead of taking what they decided to give
I wouldn't want what they have-no
If I could only find a quiet place to live

Hush! Here Comes A Whizz Bang
Hush! Here Comes A Whizz Bang
Hush, here comes a whizz bang
Hush, here comes a whizz bang
Now, you soldier men, get down those stairs
Down in your dugouts and say your prayers
Hush, here comes a whizz bang
And it's making straight for you
And you'll see all the wonders of no-man's-land
If a whizz bang hits you

A Quien Pueda Interesar
A Quien Pueda Interesar
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
¿Cómo andan, hola, que tal?
(a quien pueda interesar)
¿Cómo andan, hola, que tal?
¡soy feliz de regresar!
Ahora heme aquí
entre ustedes en la vida otra vez
Ahora heme aquí
con un poco de agua fría en los pies
Ya regresé
y el que quiera puede ya sonreír
el que quiera puede irse a llorar
y al que quiera puede darle igual
Estoy hablando a quien pueda interesar
pero ante todo tengo que ordenar mis cosas
Es que he traído demasiados documentos
sobre el mar
es que he traído demasiada inspiración
Estoy hablando a quien pueda interesar
pero ante todo tengo que coger respiro
He de llenarme nuevamente
de las cosas, de la gente
antes de hacerme aplaudir o censurar
¿Cómo andan, hola, que tal?
(a quien pueda interesar)
¿Cómo andan, hola, que tal?
¡soy feliz de regresar!
Ahora heme aquí
entre ustedes en la vida otra vez
Ahora heme aquí
con un poco de agua fría en los pies
Ya regresé
y el que quiera puede ya sonreír
el que quiera puede irse a llorar
y al que quiera puede darle igual
Estoy hablando a quien pueda interesar
pero ante todo abrazo a mis amigos
a alguna muchachita que se muestre
amable en el saludo
a la familia, a los vecinos y demás
Estoy hablando a quien pueda interesar
pero ante todo estoy besando el suelo
Como se puede ver
regreso con color en las mejillas
- y si pudiera verse el alma habría más -
Me regocija verlo todo junto otra vez
para vivir un poco más allá
para morir un poco más también
Estoy hablando a quien pueda interesar
