Waar Het Hart Zo Van Vol Is


Waar Het Hart Zo Van Vol Is
Performer(s): Bobbejaan Schoepen



Kleine broertje kreeg een auto
En een gangsterhoed in leer
Ook een echte cowboylasso
En een indianenspeer
Al zegt wie 'dat ook is mis'
Kleine broer wordt vast een rover

Daar waar het hart zo vol van is
Daar loopt de mond van over
Ja, waar het hart zo vol van is
Daar loopt de mond van over

Mama's hebben hun verlangen
Een salon en een tapijt
Alle kamers weer behangen
En om 't werk te doen een meid
Al zegt papa 'dat is mis'
Denk jij dat ik centen tover

Daar waar het hart zo vol van is
Daar loopt de mond van over
Ja, waar het hart zo vol van is
Daar loopt de mond van over

Ik wil altijd bij je leven
Ieder uur van elke dag
En je duizend kussen geven
En genieten van je lach
Ik weet dat ik mij niet vergis
Als ik jou voorgoed verover

Daar waar het hart zo vol van is
Daar loopt de mond van over
Ja, waar het hart zo vol van is
Daar loopt de mond van over

Waarom heb je in je leven
Elke dag een nieuwe wens
Alles zou je willen geven
Maar er is altijd een grens
Wacht je op een erfenis
Of een huisje in het lover

Daar waar het hart zo vol van is
Daar loopt de mond van over
Ja, waar het hart zo vol van is
Daar loopt de mond van over
Ja, waar het hart zo vol van is
Daar loopt de mond van over
Ja, waar het hart zo vol van is

A Room With A View


A Room With A View
Composer(s): Noel Coward
First performance by: Jessie Matthews, Sonnie Hale, Adrienne Brune - 1928
Covered by multiple other artists



I've been cherishing
Through the perishing
Winter nights and days
A funny little phrase that means so much to me
That you've got to be with me heart and soul
For on you the whole thing leans

Come with me and leave the noisy crowds
Sunlight shines for us above the clouds
Please don't turn away
Or my dream will stay
Hidden out of sight,
Among a lot of "might have beens"!

A room with a view, and you
And no one to worry us
No one to hurry us through
This dream we've found

We'll gaze at the sky, and try
To guess what it's all about
Then we will figure out why
The world is round

We'll be as happy and contented as birds upon a tree
High above the mountains and the sea

We'll bill and we'll coo-ooo-oo
And sorrow will never come
Oh, will it ever come true
Our room with a view

A room with a view, and you
And no one to give advice
That sounds like a paradise few
Could fail to choose

With fingers entwined, we'll find
Relief from the preachers
Who always beseech us to mind
Our P's and Q's

We'll watch the whole world pass before us while we are sitting still
Leaning on our own window sill

We'll bill and we'll coo-ooo-oo
And maybe a stork will bring
This, that and t'other thing
To our room with a view

Waar En Wanneer


Waar En Wanneer
Performer(s): Bob Benny



Lieveling, waar en wanneer
Vraagt m'n hart keer op keer
Sinds de dag dat je mij
Rendez-vous hebt beloofd

Maar ik wacht reeds zo lang
Meer en meer zwelt de drang
Kom aarzel niet langer meer
Zeg me waar en wanneer

't Was waarschijnlijk bij jou
Geen bedoeling van trouw
En jij dacht er niet aan
Hoe het mij zou vergaan

Jaren heb ik vergeefs
Vol verlangen gewacht
Toch vraag ik steeds als weleer
Zeg me waar en wanneer

Jaren heb ik vergeefs
Vol verlangen gewacht
Toch vraag ik steeds als weleer
Zeg me waar en wanneer

A Room Full Of Nothing


A Room Full Of Nothing
Composer(s): Damon Albarn - Terry Hall
Performer(s): Terry Hall



And whoever said
it was meant to be easy
was someone who knew how to cope
not aimlessly walk
round and round in a circle
to end up without any hope

and the constant reminder
of all that you've missed
from everyone you'll never know
it's hard to stay in
with the popular crowd
but oh so much harder to go

some have it all
like the world at their feet
others have streets with no names
there are those quite prepared
to give up their souls
others who won't play the game

and the constant reminder
of all that you've missed
from everyone that you'll never know
it's hard to stay in
with the popular crowd
but oh so much harder to go

but don't send me postcards
with felt tip best wishes
withering roses, and lip sticky kisses
forget reminiscing
I know what I'm missing
I've got to break free
from this thing that is me

and the constant reminder
of all that I am
and everything I'll never be
'cos all that I've left
is this room full of nothing, but me

in a room full of nothing but me
in a room full of nothing but me
in a room full of nothing but me
in a room full of nothing but me

We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight
Gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight

A Rodar Mi Vida


A Rodar Mi Vida
Composer(s): Fito Páez
Performer(s): Fito Páez



Se me hacia tarde, ya me iba
siempre se hace tarde en la ciudad
cuando me di cuenta estaba vivo
vivo para siempre de verdad

hoy compre revistas en el metro
no pensaba en nada, nada mas
y caí que al fin esto en un juego
todo empieza siempre una vez mas

y a rodar, y a rodar, y a rodar
y a rodar mi vida
y a rodar, y a rodar, y a rodar
y a rodar mi amor
yo no se donde va,
yo no se donde va mi vida
yo no se donde va, pero tampoco creo que sepas vos
quiero salir, si, quiero vivir
quiero dejar una suerte de señal
si un corazón triste pudo ver la luz
si hice mas liviano el peso de tu cruz
nada mas me importa ne esta vida
chau, hasta mañana

y a rodar, y a rodar, y a rodar
y a rodar mi vida
y a rodar, y a rodar, y a rodar
y a rodar mi amor
yo no se donde va,
yo no se donde va mi vida
yo no se donde va, pero tampoco creo que sepas vos
quiero salir, si, quiero vivir
quiero dejar una suerte de señal
si un corazón triste pudo ver la luz
si hice mas liviano el peso de tu cruz
nadie tiene a nadie
yo te tengo a vos
dentro de mi alma
siento que me amas
chau, hasta mañana

Hypnotized (Linda Jones)


Hypnotized Composer(s): Gloria Florence Spolan - Richard Poindexter First release by: Linda Jones - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists



(Hypnotized) Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah, (Hypnotized) hah-hah
Hypnotized, you got me hypnotized
All it took was just one little look into your eyes
I'll do whatever you say
Command me and I'll obey
(Because I love you) Lah-lah-lah, hah-hah
(You've got me walking and talking in a trance)
In a magic spell of romance
Make me hold you (Make me hold you)
Make me kiss you (Kiss You)
My heart is yours to command

Woh-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-hoooo, hypnotized
Gee, gee I'm so hypnotized
Just one touch of your fingertips
One kiss from your sweet, sweet lips
I'll go wherever you want me to go
Everything I've got, everything I've got, darling is yours
Yes it is (Because I love you)
Lah-lah-lah, hah-hah (Love you)
You got me (Hypnotized) in the spell that you cast
Please, please make it last
Woh-ooo-ooo-ooo-hoooo, so hypnotized
He-e-e-e-e-e-y, hypnotized
Woh-oh-oh-oh..........

Hypnotized (Fleetwood Mac)


Hypnotized
Composer(s): Bob Welch
Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac



It's the same kind of story
That seems to come down from long ago
Two friends having coffee together
When something flies by their window
It might be out on that lawn
Which is wide, at least half of a playing field
Because there's no explaining what your imagination
Can make you see and feel

Seems like a dream
(They) got me hypnotized

Now it's not a meaningless question
To ask if they've been and gone
I remember a talk about North
Carolina and a strange, strange pond
You see the sides were like glass
In the thick of a forest without a road
And if any man's ever made that land
Then I think it would've showed

Seems like a dream
(They) got me hypnotized

They say there's a place down in Mexico
Where a man can fly over mountains and hills
And he don't need an airplane or some kind of engine
And he never will
Now you know it's a meaningless question
To ask if those stories are right
'Cause what matters most if the feeling
You get when you're hypnotized

Seems like a dream
(They) got me hypnotized

A River For Him


A River For Him
Composer(s): Emmylou Harris
First release by: Emmylou Harris - 1988
Covered by: Linda Ronstadt - 1993



I crossed on the river
There'll be no returning
I crossed all the bridges
I watched them all burning
And now I'm a stranger
To a strange land I'm driven
Where all is forgotten
And nothing's forgiven

But I cried a river
A river for him
That's deeper and wider
Than I'll ever swim
The heart it will harden
The sorrow will dim
But I cried a river
A river for him

I think of him now
On the road I am taking
And wonder how long
His heart will be breaking
But he'll never hear when
The teardrops are falling
Or the sound of my voice
And the name I'm calling

But I cried a river
A river for him
That's deeper and wider
Than I'll ever swim
The heart it will harden
The sorrow will dim
But I cried a river
A river for him

So sweep for the sons
And the dear darling daughters
For the passing of time
And the parting of waters
For all who have passed through
This world long before me
To a far distant shore line
Where no one waits for me
But I cried a river
A river for him
That's deeper and wider
Than I'll ever swim
The heart it will harden
The sorrow will dim
But I cried a river
A river for him

Hymns And Arias


Hymns And Arias
Composer(s): Max Boyce
Performer(s): Max Boyce



We paid our weekly shilling for that January trip
A long weekend in London, aye, without a bit of kip
There's a seat reserved for beer by the boys from Abercarn
There's beer, pontoon, crisps and fags and a croakin 'Calon Lan'

And we were singing hymns and arias
'Land of my Fathers', 'Ar hyd y nos'

Into Paddington we did roll with an empty crate of ale
Will had lost at cards and now his Western Mail's for sale
But Will is very happy though his money all has gone
He swapped five photos of his wife for one of Barry John

And we were....................

We got to Twickers early and were jostled in the crowd
Planted leeks and dragons, looked for toilets all around
So many there we couldn't budge -twisted legs and pale
I'm ashamed we used a bottle that once held bitter ale

And we were singing hymns and arias
'Land of my Fathers', 'Ar hyd y nos'

Wales defeated England in a fast and open game
We sang 'Cwm Rhondda' and 'Delilah'
damn, they sounded both the same
We sympathised with an Englishman
whose team was doomed to fail
So we gave him that old bottle, that once held bitter ale!

He started singing hymns and arias
'Land of my Fathers', 'Ar hyd y nos'

So it's down to Soho for the night
to the girls with the shiny beads
To the funny men with lipstick on
with evil minds and deeds
One said to Will from a doorway dark
damn, she didn't have much on
But Will knew what she wanted
aye...his photo of Barry John!

'Cos she was singing hymns and arias
'Land of my Fathers', 'Ar hyd y nos'

A Rita


A Rita
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



A Rita levou meu sorriso
No sorriso dela
Meu assunto
Levou junto com ela
E o que me é de direito
Arrancou-me do peito
E tem mais
Levou seu retrato, seu trapo, seu prato
Que papel!
Uma imagem de são Francisco
E um bom disco de Noel

A Rita matou nosso amor
De vingança
Nem herança deixou
Não levou um tostão
Porque não tinha não
Mas causou perdas e danos
Levou os meus planos
Meus pobres enganos
Os meus vinte anos
O meu coração
E além de tudo
Me deixou mudo
Um violão

Hymne À L'amour


Hymne À L'amour Composer(s): Edith Piaf; Marguerite Monnot First release by: Edith Piaf - 1950 Covered by multiple other artists Titles In Other Languages: 1950 - Hymn To Love 1961 - If You Love Me 1983 - Hymne Aan De Liefde



Le ciel bleu sur nous peut s'effrondrer
Et la terre peut bien s'écrouler
Peu m'importe si tu m'aimes
Je me fous du monde entier
Tant que l'amour inondera mes matins
Tant que mon corps frémira sous tes mains
Peu m'importent les grands problèmes
Mon amour, puisque tu m'aimes...
J'irais jusqu'au bout du monde
Je me ferais teindre en blonde
Si tu me le demandais...
J'irais décrocher la lune
J'irais voler la fortune
Si tu me le demandais...
Je renierais ma patrie
Je renierais mes amis
Si tu me le demandais...
On peut bien rire de moi,
Je ferais n'importe quoi
Si tu me le demandais...
Si un jour la vie t'arrache à moi
Si tu meurs, que tu sois loin de moi
Peu m'importe, si tu m'aimes
Car moi je mourrai aussi...
Nous aurons pour nous l'éternité
Dans le bleu de toute l'immensité
Dans le ciel, plus de problèmes
Mon amour, crois-tu qu'on s'aime?...
...Dieu réunit ceux qui s'aiment!

Ride On A Rainbow


Ride On A Rainbow
Composer(s): Leo Robin - Jule Styne
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis
and multiple other artists



Did you ever ride on a rainbow
Sit starry eyed on a rainbow
I did, last night

Did you ever whirl on a rainbow
And kiss a girl on a rainbow
I did, last night

Yes I found the girl I was seeking
And in a manner of speaking I did all right
All at once I was in her embrace
And it seems I was somewhere in space
And that's all I can say to explain
How I took a rainbow ride last night
Last night , last night

Yes, I found the girl I was seeking
And in a manner of speaking I certainly did all right
All at once I was in her embrace
And it seems I was somewhere in space
And that's all I can say to explain
How I took a rainbow ride last night

Hymn To Love


Hymn To Love - 1950 (aka If You Love Me - 1961) (Adapted from: Hymne À L'amour - 1950) (Dutch Version: Hymne Aan De Liefde - 1983) Composer(s): Edith Piaf; Marguerite Monnot; Eddie Constantine Performer(s): Edith Piaf - 1950



If the sky should fall into the sea
And the stars fade all around me
All the times that we have known here
I will sing a hymn to love

We have lived and dreamed we two alone
In a world that's been our very own
With it's memories ever grateful
Just for you I sing a hymn to love

I remember each embrace
The smile that lights your face
And my heart begins to sing
Your eyes have never lied
And my heart begins to sing
And my heart begins to sing

If one day you should ever disappear
Always remember these words
If one day we had to say goodbye
And our love should fade away and die
In my heart you will remain here
And I'II sing a hymn to love

O for love, we live eternally
In the blue we'll roll this harmony
With every day we are in heaven
As for you, I'll sing a hymn to love

Don't you ever worry, dear
And the stars shall fade from the sky
All the times that we have known here
I will sing a hymn to our love
Oh darling,
Just for you I sing
A hymn to love

À Remettre À Mon Fils Quand Il Aura Seize Ans


À Remettre À Mon Fils Quand Il Aura Seize Ans
Composer(s): Louis Amade - Gilbert Bécaud
Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud



Mon nécessaire d'or des heures de bataille
Dont je me suis servi aux matins exaltants
D'Iéna, de Friedland, d'Eylau, de Montmirail
Le remettre à mon fils quand il aura seize ans

Trois caisses d'acajou aux armes impériales
Mon glaive de consul et mes deux lits de camp
Mon uniforme de la garde nationale
Les remettre à mon fils quand il aura seize ans

Et ma Légion d'honneur, ma lunette de guerre
Manteau de Marengo, bottes et gilets blancs
Les trois vases sacrés de ma chapelle claire
Les remettre à mon fils quand il aura seize ans

Mes éperons d'argent et mes fusils de chasse
Les selles des chevaux, mon épée d'Austerlitz
Mes chapeaux délavés hissés dans leurs espaces
Quand il aura seize ans, les remettre à mon fils

Certains n'oublieront pas ce qui me fut moins beau
Je te le donne aussi, car tu es mon enfant
Les échecs de ma vie, mes soirs de Waterloo
Les remettre à mon fils quand il aura seize ans

Hymn To Her


Hymn To Her
Composer(s): Andrew Latimer; Jan Schelhaas
Performer(s): Camel; Colin Bass



Look to the mirror
I can tell no lies
Time drawing nearer
Still I wonder why
You are the giver
Me I never try
Now we're together
Still I wonder why

Please can you tell me
When you're by my side
And when my eyes see
Will I wonder why
If you are with me
I can only try
To find the answer
In the words that ask the question

Why don't we know
And why don't it show
I wanna find out
Try let it all out

A red kiss on a blue letter
Is all I sent to you

You're telling yourself
That he feels that way too
A red kiss on a blue letter
Is all that I sent to you

A red kiss on a blue letter
Is all that I sent to you

Reason For Living


Reason For Living
Composer(s): Rick Parfitt - Francis Rossi
Performer(s): Status Quo



I felt in need of some loving so I sat down on a wall
I tried to find a reason for living, but I couldn't find a reason at all
So I owned up to my maker and I started to say a prayer
I waited for an answer but there wasn't anybody there

I thought there should have been someone, but I wasn't quite sure who
It finished me to find there was no-one that I could take my troubles to
So I knelt down by my bedside and I started to say a prayer
It was when I asked for nothing I could feel that there was somebody there

I'm looking still, but it's easy 'cos I know which way to go
It doesn't matter how long it takes me 'cos there's someone there to help me who knows
All the things that I am after, all the loving that I want to share
It's so hard but I don't mind 'cos there really is someone there

I felt in need of some loving so I sat down on a wall
I tried to find a reason for living, but I couldn't find a reason at all
So I owned up to my maker and I started to say a prayer
I waited for an answer but there wasn't anybody there
