Didn't Start Livin'


Didn't Start Livin' Composer(s): Billy Burnette - Tony Colton First release by: Billy Burnette - 2000



Well I thought I was a bad boy
Chasin' everything in sight
I didn't come alive
'Til the sun went down at night
I thought I'd been everywhere
Done everything that a man could do
But I didn't start livin'
Until I started lovin' you

Well I've been to Rome, Georgia
And Paris, Tennessee
I couldn't be tied down
Nothin' had a hold on me
I was beginning to believe
I was one of the chosen few
But I didn't start livin'
Until I started lovin' you

You gave my life a whole new meaning
More than it ever had before
Since you've been my sweet angel
We're knockin' on Heaven's door

I thought the neon nightlife
Was never gonna let me be
I thought that livin' on the edge
Would always be my destiny
I thought I'd been everywhere
Done everything a man could do
But I didn't start livin'
Until I started lovin' you
Yeah, I didn't start livin'
Until I started lovin' you

Aranjuez
e scesa ormai la sera su di te
e su questo mio viso leggerai
quello che il tempo ha scritto gia'
in un giorno lontano
Aranjuez
la tua voce lenta cantera
al sole e al vento ed al tempo che poi tutto porta via
questa mia storia che
non dico mai
ma resta chiusa nel cuore
e su gli occhi traspare lo so
in un dolce sorriso
Aranjuez
la tua antica gloria non c'e' piu'
ora piangi e una chitarra li' con te
il tuo bel nome non c'e' piu
e fiorito in una rosa Aranjuez
la mia voce lenta cantera'
al sole e al vento ed al tempo che poi tutto cambiera'
questa tua storia che nessuno sa
che tieni stretta sul cuore
e su gli occhi traspare lo so
in un dolce sorriso
la sera e qui coi ricordi
che ci portera’
vuole dire a noi
che non siamo mai soli
Aranjuez

Caro Amore


Caro Amore ((aka Trenodia (Mina) - 1967); Aranjuez, La Tua Voce (Dalida) - 1967)) ((Adapted from: Concierto De Aranjuez (Regino Sainz de la Maza and Orquesta Filarmónica de Barcelona) - 1940)) Composer(s): Joaquim Rodrigo - Fabrizio De André Performer(s): Fabrizio De André - 1967 Versions In Other Languages: 1967 - Aranjuez, Mon Amour (Richard Anthony) 1968 - Aranjuez Melodie (Nana Mouskouri) 1973 - Spain (Chick Corea & Return to Forever) 1980 - (I Can Recall) Spain (Al Jarreau) 1982 - Follow Me (Demis Roussos) 1984 - En Aranjuez Con Mi Amor (Nana Mouskouri) 1995 - All My Life (Helmut Lotti)



Caro amore
nei tramonti d'aprile
caro amore
quando il sole si uccide
oltre le onde
puoi sentire piangere e gioire
anche il vento ed il mare

Caro amore
così un uomo piange
caro amore
al sole, al vento e ai verdi anni
che cantando se ne vanno
dopo il mattino di maggio
quando sono venuti
e quando scalzi
e con gli occhi ridenti
sulla sabbia scrivevamo contenti
le più ingenue parole

Caro amore
i fiori dell'altr'anno
caro amore
sono sfioriti e mai più
rifioriranno
e nei giardini ad ogni inverno
ben più tristi sono le foglie

Caro amore
così un uomo vive
caro amore
e il sole e il vento e i verdi anni
si rincorrono cantando
verso il novembre a cui
ci vanno portando
e dove un giorno con un triste sorriso
ci diremo tra le labbra ormai stanche
"eri il mio caro amore"

Aranjuez, Mon Amour

Mon amour, sur l'eau des fontaines, mon amour
Ou le vent les amènent, mon amour
Le soir tombé, qu'on voit flotté
Des pétales de roses

Mon amour et des murs se gercent mon amour
Au soleil au vent à l'averse et aux années qui vont passant
Depuis le matin de mai qu'ils sont venus
Et quand chantant, soudain ils ont écrit sur les murs du bout de leur fusil
De bien étranges choses

Mon amour, le rosier suit les traces, mon amour
Sur le mur et enlace, mon amour
Leurs noms gravés et chaque été
D'un beau rouge sont les roses

Mon amour, sèche les fontaines, mon amour
Au soleil au vent de la plaine et aux années qui vont passant
Depuis le matin de mai qu'il sont venus
La fleur au cœur, les pieds nus, le pas lent
Et les yeux éclairés d'un étrange sourire

Et sur ce mur lorsque le soir descend
On croirait voir des taches de sang
Ce ne sont que des roses!
Aranjuez, mon amour

Didn't Even Know Her Name


Didn't Even Know Her Name Composer(s): David Gates - James Griffin Performer(s): Bread



Should've kept on goin'
But the hurt was showing
When she looked at me that way
I had to stay
I knew I had to get to know her name

The town was weary
She was to marry
Someone planned years ago
Her eyes said no
I knew I had to get to know her name

And when I got her all alone
She told me through the tears
That she didn't really loved him
But he'd waited for so many years
She said she couldn't break his heart
She'd rather live with hers
And though I told her she should leave with me
She just could not believe with me

Should've kept on goin'
Better that than knowin'
That he made her his wife
He took her life
You know I didn't even know her name
You know I didn't even know her name

Junto a ti al pasar las horas
oh mi amor hay un rumor
de fuentes de cristal
que en el jardin parece hablar
en voz baja a las rosas
dulce amor
esas hojas secas
sin color que lleva
el viento sus recuerdos de romance
de ayer huellas de promesas
hechas con amor
en Aranjuez entre un hombre y una mujer
que siempre se recuerdan
yo se bien que hay palabras huecas sin amor
que barre el viento y que nadie las oyo con atencion
pero otras palabras suenan con amor
al corazon asi te quiero hablar si en Aranjuez me esperas

Dans Nu Nog Eenmaal Met Mij


Dans Nu Nog Eenmaal Met Mij
Performer(s): Bobby Prins



Dans nu nog eenmaal met mij
Toe laat me niet alleen
Geef me een kans, een laatste dans
Is jouw hartje nog vrij?
Jij weet hoeveel ik om je geef
Kon ik maar weer bij je zijn

Ik jouw ogen zie ik liefde
Maar misschien niet voor mij
Is jouw liefde voor een ander?
Is ons sprookje voorbij?

Dans nu nog eenmaal met mij
Toe, laat me niet alleen
Mijn hart doet pijn als ik je zie
Ik weet, ik heb fouten begaan
Maar ’t is misschien nog niet te laat
Toe, dans nog eenmaal met mij

In m’n dromen blijf ik hopen
Dat je nog om me geeft
Wij te samen door het leven
Dat is al wat ik vraag

Mijn hart doet pijn als ik je zie
Ik weet, ik heb fouten begaan
Maar ’t is misschien nog niet te laat
Toe, dans nog eens, eens met mij

Är Du Som Han?


Är Du Som Han?
Composer(s): Agnetha Fältskog - Bosse Carlgren
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



Han och jag har levt tillsammans ganska många år
Du och jag, vi träffades hos Gun och Bengt igår
Han är allt jag önskat mig
Du, ja, vad är du?

Det borde inte betyda det minsta för mig men ändå
Undrar jag, är du som han?
Hur känns det månntro när du kysser mig?
Är du som han, jag undrar hur känns dina händer?
Är du som han?
Min tanke för ständigt tillbaks till dig
Varför ska jag undra så
Om du är som han?

Han och jag har byggt nånting ihop och sånt är svårt
Du och jag har ingenting som vi kan kalla vårt
Han och jag, vi kan varann, inga frågor kvar
Men du har fått mig att undra för du gav mig aldrig nåt svar!

Åh! Är du som han?
Jag tror dina ögon var varmare
Är du som han, vad händer i mig om du rör mig?
Är du som han?
En nyfikenhet i en villovärld
Du som kanske ändå vet
Att du är som han

Åh! Är du som han?
Jag tror dina ögon var varmare
Är du som han, vad händer i mig om du rör mig?
Är du som han?
En nyfikenhet i en villovärld
Du som kanske ändå vet
Att du är som han, att du är som han
Att du är som han, att du är som han...

Did You See My Daddy Over There?


Did You See My Daddy Over There? Composer(s): Bill Showmet Performer(s): Eddy Arnold



A little boy tugged gently at a soldier's khaki sleeve
He says forgive me mister but you've been across I believe
I see the purple heart you were it tells what you've been through
Perhaps you know my daddy sir because he's a soldier too

Did you see my daddy mister soldier
When you were fighting over there?
I thought perhaps by chance
You met him there in France
Or somewhere over there across the sea
It's been so long since daddy went away
My mommy longs for him both night and day
I know it would make her glad if you had seen my dad
Did you see my daddy over there?

The soldier's eyes grew misty as he watched the boy's face
For it recalled a memory that time can not erase
A buddy lost in action, the best pal he ever had
Till death he carried o'r his heart a picture of this lad

Did you see my daddy mister soldier
When you were fighting over there?
I thought perhaps by chance
You met him there in France
Or somewhere over there across the sea
It's been so long since daddy went away
My mommy longs for him both night & day
I know it would make her glad if you had seen my dad
Did you see my daddy over there?

Mexican Girl


Mexican Girl
Performer(s): Bernd Clüver



Letzten Sommer in Mexico
und mein Auto blieb plötzlich stehen
Keinen Tropfen im Tank mehr weit und breit nichts zu sehen
Stunden stand ich am Straßenrand
bis ein Auto kam um halb sieben
Es war klapprig und alt
doch sein Inhalt
der war zum Verlieben
Ein junges Mädchen stieg aus: "Kann ich dir helfen?"
hört' ich sie fragen
Und sie gab mir Benzin
doch ich konnt' nicht umhin
ihr zu sagen

Mexican Girl
heut' nacht oder nie
Bitte sag' nicht
es ist noch zu früh
Ich bin morgen schon weit
und bis morgen ist Zeit für uns zwei
Mexican Girl
bald bist du allein
Dann ist mein Herz so schwer wie ein Stein
Doch ich werd' nicht vergessen
was heut' nacht gewesen ist
zwischen uns zwei
Mein Mexican Girl

Zwei Autos standen am Straßenrand
und die Nacht wurde zum Morgen
und sie sagte: "Jetzt muß ich nach Haus
denn die machen sich Sorgen"
Sie sah mich mit traurigen Augen an
und sie sagte: "Hasta La Vista!"
Vielleicht war es ein Abschied für immer
als ich sie küßte

Mexican Girl
bald bist du allein
Dann ist mein Herz so schwer wie ein Stein
denn es wird langsam hell
und der Morgen
der kommt viel zu schnell
Mexican Girl
ich bring' dich nach Haus

bitte denk' nicht
es macht mir nichts aus
denn ich werd' nie vergessen
was heut nacht gewesen ist zwischen uns zwei
Mein Mexican girl
bald bist du allein...

Sand In Deinen Augen


Sand In Deinen Augen
Composer(s): Kurt Hertha - Ralph Maria Siegel
Performer(s): Roy Black



Alle ihre Freunde sagten ihr
Lass die Finger weg, er taugt nicht viel!
Aber sie hat ihm allein vertraut
und für ihn war alles nur ein Spiel

Als er sie dann sitzen liess
traf sie's wie ein Schlag
sie tat mir schon lange leid
und ich hab' ihr gesagt

Es war nur Sand in deinen Augen
das wird vergehen
und du wirst sehen
wie gut ich's meine

Es war nur Sand in deinen Augen
erst gibt es Tränen
dann ist dein Blick wieder klar und frei

Viele Tage lang verkroch sie sich
nicht mal Freunde durften bei ihr sein
Sie ging nicht einmal ans Telefon
und sie sperrte sich im Zimmer ein

Doch ich klopfte an der Tür
meine Angst war so gross
ganz verzweifelt kam sie 'raus
und ich sagte ihr bloss

Es war nur Sand in deinen Augen

Da nahm ich sie mit zu mir nach Haus
und war Tag und Nacht für sie nur da
immer wieder sprachen wir uns aus
und wir kamen uns einander nah

Und an unserm schönsten Tag
lachte sie mit mir
dann brach sie in Tränen aus
doch ich sagte zu ihr

Es war nur Sand in deinen Augen

Mit meiner Liebe ist deine traurige Zeit vorbei

Did You No Wrong


Did You No Wrong Composer(s): Paul Cook - Steve Jones - Glen Matlock - Johnny Rotten Performer(s): The Sex Pistols; The Bollock Brothers; Die Hunns



I don't mind the things that you say
I don't even mind going out of my way
I try and do these things for you
Why should I do it
I'm always untrue

Well, I did you no wrong
I did you no wrong
Going out of your head

I ain't seen you off the screen
But those films are my dreams
And I can't take much more of you
'Cause the bog is no place
to see your face

Can't you see I'm out of my head
Oh can't you see I'm a little insane
Oh can't you see I'm really dead

Going down, down, out of my head

I did you no wrong
I did you no wrong!
Ha Ha Ha!

Going out of my head...

Aquí Se Habla En "Amor"


Aquí Se Habla En "Amor"
Composer(s): Keller - Sherman
Performer(s): Nat King Cole



Aquí se habla en amor
Que es un idioma singular
Con el que al fin podemos expresar
La íntima verdad que agita nuestro corazón

Aquí se habla en amor
Ningún lenguaje pudo ser
Tan elocuente para demostrar
Todos los secretos de amar que pueda haber

Desde que llegaste a mí
Comprendí que no se puede lograr
Con las frases cotidianas (fajar)
Las cosas del corazón

Aquí se habla en amor
Que es un idioma singular
Con el que al fin podemos expresar
La íntima verdad que agita nuestro corazón

Aquí se habla en amor

Aquí se habla en amor
Que es un idioma singular
Con el que al fin podemos expresar
La íntima verdad que agita nuestro corazón

Aquí se habla en amor

Aquí se habla en amor

Aquí se habla en amor

Aquí se habla en amor
