(If You Ain't Got The) Do Re Mi


(If You Ain't Got The) Do Re Mi
Composer(s): Woody Guthrie
First release by: Woody Guthrie - 1940
Covered by multiple other artists



Lot's of folks back east they say
Leaving home most every day
Beating the hot old dusty way
To the California line
'Cross the desert sands they roll
Getting out of that Old Dust Bowl
Think they're coming to a sugar bowl
But here's what they find
Police at the port of entry say
You're number fourteen thousand for to day

Hey, if you ain't got the Do Re Mi, boy
If you ain't got the Do Re Mi
Well, you better go back to beautiful Texas
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee
California is the garden of Eden
It's a paradise to live in or see
But believe it or not
You won't find it so hot
If you ain't got the Do Re Mi

You want to buy a home or a farm
That can't do nobody harm
Take your vacation by the mountains or sea
Don't swap your old cow for a car
You better stay right where you are
Better take this little tip from me
Well, I look through the want ads every day
The headlines in the papers always say

La Carte Du Tendre


La Carte Du Tendre
Composer(s): Georges Moustaki
Performer(s): Georges Moustaki



Le long du fleuve qui remonte
Par les rives de la rencontre
Aux sources d'émerveillement
On voit dans le jour qui se lève
S'ouvrir tout un pays de rêve
Le tendre pays des amants
On part avec le cœur qui tremble
Du bonheur de partir ensemble
Sans savoir ce qui nous attend
Ainsi commence le voyage
Semé d'écueils et de mirages
De l'amour et de ses tourments

Quelques torrents de médisance
Viennent déchirer le silence
Essayant de tout emporter
Et puis on risque le naufrage
Lorsque le vent vous mène au large
Des îles d'infidélité
Plus loin le courant vous emporte
Vers les rochers de la discorde
Et du mal à se supporter
Enfin la terre se dénude
C'est le désert de l'habitude
L'ennui y a tout dévasté

Quand la route paraît trop longue
Il y a l'escale du mensonge
L'auberge de la jalousie
On y déjeune de rancune
Et l'on s'enivre d'amertume
L'orgueil vous y tient compagnie
Mais quand tout semble à la dérive
Le fleuve roule son eau vive
Et l'on repart à l'infini
Où l'on découvre au bord du Tendre
Le jardin où l'on peut s'étendre
La terre promise de l'oubli

Dorcie Belle


Dorcie Belle
Composer(s): Jimmy Rogers
Performer(s): Jimmy Rogers



So many days, people, I had to steal away and cry
So many days, people, I just had to steal away and cry
Now you know, I was to blue to live
but man, you know, I was most to mean to die

Hey, Dorcie Belle
baby, you have been so mean to me
Hey, Dorcie Belle
girl, you have been so mean to me
Now, I got evil with you, Dorcie Belle
baby, you just hang around and see

Hey, Dorcie Belle
you can pack your little bags and go
Hey, Dorcie Belle
you can pack your little bags and go
Just one thing I want you to remember, Dorcie Belle
that you're no better than the girl I had before

La Carta


La Carta
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



Querido amigo, buen Miguel
un año que se fue
en días de papel
Cuéntame cómo te va
si hay una cana más
o un sueño que esconder

Por acá, todo está igual
Siempre hay algo que pagar
cuándo se termina el mes
Y no he dejado de fumar
aunque sé que me hace mal
no lo puedo ya vencer

Y en el cristal juega el invierno
cuando me siento a escribir
Mi buen amigo,
por lo que escribo
ya puedes darte cuenta
que aquí las cosas
no están buenas
que todo sigue igual
y un año más... que se me va
Pondré al fuego otro café
para esperar...
amanecer

Querido amigo, buen Miguel
las palomas otra vez
me han pintado el ventanal
Y han subido el alquiler
creo que el próximo mes
ya me tengo que mudar

Me olvidaba de decir
que el pasado mes de abril
dijo la televisión
que un cometa pasará
y tal vez nos traerá
otro tiempo más feliz

La Carpa De Las Coliguillas


La Carpa De Las Coliguillas
Composer(s): Victor Jara - Cantamaranto
Performer(s): Victor Jara



A quien esta ahi esperando
en esa carpa llovia
si estan todos trabajando
compañera coliguilla

Yo espero y mi compañera espera
lo que yo espero
estamos todas esperando
que llegue un joven soltero

El dia que nos vinimos
a la toma de terreno
se armaron algunas rachas
pero estaba aca primero

El que venga a esta carpa
saldra lo mismo que entro
aqui se quitan las canas
los que no tienen amor

Ahi que verlas coliguillas
se instalaron re ligero
es que tenian clientes
antes de tener terreno

A onde vaiga la gente
vamos nosotras
y pue'en pagar lo que sea
sea cliente o sea rosca

Compañera coliguilla
siempre dispuesta a farrear
aqui las farras son menos
y los trabajos son mas

Dopo L'amore


Dopo L'amore
((Adapted from: Après L'Amour (Charles Aznavour) - 1964))
((English Version: Don't Say A Word (Charles Aznavour & Liesbeth List) - 1976))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Calabrese
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour & Mia Martini - 1977



Dopo un ora d'amor
Noi siamo tutto il mondo
E qualcosa di noi, e', l'istinto che fa
Unire gli amori, incuranti del resto
E sento passar, le tue dita leggere
Che poni su di me con finta ingenuita'
Adesso che noi ci perdiamo
Ad ascoltar, lunghi silenzi
Dopo l'amor,noi non siamo piu' soli
Dopo l'amor, tu respiri con me
E restiamo cosi
Solo noi, a sognar
Felici di nulla
Io e te, lo stesso sorriso
Dopo l'amor
Siamo un essere solo
Dopo l'amor
Io ti vedo così
Ogni cosa e' un perche'
E rimani con me
Dopo l'amore
Per continuare a sognar

La Canzone Popolare


La Canzone Popolare
Composer(s): Ivano Fossati
Performer(s): Ivano Fossati



Alzati che si sta alzando la canzone popolare
se c'e' qualcosa da dire ancora, se c'e' qualcosa da fare
alzati che si sta alzando la canzone popolare
se c'e' qualcosa da dire ancora, ce lo dirà
se c'e' qualcosa da imparare ancora, ce lo dirà
sono io oppure sei tu, che hanno mandato più lontano
per poi giocargli il ritorno sempre all'ultima mano
e sono io oppure sei tu, chi ha sbagliato più forte
che per avere tutto il mondo fra le braccia
ci si e' trovato anche la morte
sono io oppure sei tu, ma sono io oppure sei tu
alzati che si sta alzando la canzone popolare
se c'e' qualcosa da dire ancora, se c'e' qualcosa da fare
alzati che si sta alzando la canzone popolare
se c'e' qualcosa da capire ancora, ce lo dirà
se c'e' qualcosa da imparare ancora, ce lo dirà
sono io oppure sei tu la donna che ha lottato tanto
perché il brillare naturale dei suoi occhi
non lo scambiassero per pianto
e invece io lo vedi da te, arrivo sempre l'indomani
e ti busso alla porta ancora e poi ti cerco con le mani
sono io, lo vedi da te, mi riconosci, lo vedi da te
alzati che sta passando la canzone popolare
sono io, sono proprio io, che non mi guardo più allo specchio
per non vedere le mie mani più veloci, ne' il mio vestito più vecchio
e prendiamola fra le braccia questa vita danzante
questi pezzi di amore caro, quest'esistenza tremante
che sono io e che sei anche tu, che sono io e che sei anche tu
alzati che sta passando la canzone popolare
alzati che si sta alzando la canzone popolare
se c'e' qualcosa da dire ancora, ce lo dirà
se c'e' qualcosa da capire ancora, ce lo dirà
se c'e' qualcosa da chiarire ancora, ce lo dirà
se c'e' qualcosa da cantare ancora, ce lo dirà

Doors Of Sleep


Doors Of Sleep
Performer(s): Steve Howe



Life is just a reflection
Sometime mirrored in the past
As we strive for perfection
We live until we last

Where the new might grow with the old
Where the fool is oft times the wise
Everything has got to be evened out
Leaving as without a doubt

Home, home from the horizon
Far and clear
Hither to the soft wings sweep
Flocks of the memories
Of the days draw near

The dove-cote doors of sleep
Which way are they, that come through this sweet light
Of all these homing birds
Which? with the straightest and the swiftest flight
Your words to me, your words

The first time I took this girl's hand
She was as if for whom I was born
And there's more besides a fair morning
Needed for a fair day

Door To Door Salesman


Door To Door Salesman
Performer(s): Matt Minglewood



Hey Baby, Hey Baby
Don't treat me oh so bad
Oh baby, Oh baby
Don't you know that I'm the best thing
You ever had not gonna stand for that

Well went out last night, like I did every evening
Play guitar down at the Roll & Tumble bar
Went out at my front door who should I be receiving
But scooby-dooby dude in a Cadillac car

First I thought once, then I thought twice
Then I said no that girl is far too nice
I was just about to ask that dude just what he was selling
But the look in your eyes, in you eyes
Believe me I didn't need no telling baby

He was a salesman for his own company
He was trying to talk my baby into leaving me
He was a product with a written guarantee
Given you samples just for free

Oh Baby, Oh Baby
Did you have to treat me oh so bad
Oh baby, Oh baby
Don't you know that I'm the best thing
You ever had, not gonna stand for that

Azul la manana es azul
el sol si le llamo vendra
se detendra en mi voz
y hasta la eternidad
en su camino ira hacia otro azul
Despues, yo no se si hay despues
si el sol volvera a despertar
porque la cancion no ha de ser verdad
porque en carnaval
es que te busco yo
aunque no habras de estar
y mentira tu voz en el azul
Despues, yo no se si hay despues
si el sol volvera a despertar
porque la cancion no ha de ser verdad
porque en carnaval
Cantara el corazón, la razón de vivir
cantara sin hablar, ni sentir

Door To Door


Door To Door
Composer(s): Stu Cook
Performer(s): Creedence Clearwater Revival



Find me out awalkin', time the whistle starts acallin'
Maybe stoppin' early, knockin' at your door
Take so long to answer, Lord knows it ain't the milkman
Could be stoppin' early, sellin'
Door To Door

Here's my latest sample; like to show you how to use it
First, you pull the curtain while I spread some here
Wipe the surface gently, try to use a circle motion
Safe for all your problems, and my price is fair

This stuff'll get the stain out if you use it loosely wadded
This here'll take the pain out and won't mess your hair
Place your order early 'cause you know I'm in a hurry
Your neighbor's in her doorway, won't you sign right here

Place your order early 'cause you know I'm in a hurry
Your neighbor's in her doorway, won't you sign right here

Man is on the last train, all that work and no play
Could be stoppin' early, knockin' at your door
Time for me to head on; pack my kit and 'So long'
Catch you bright and early sellin'
Door To Door

This stuff'll get the stain out if you use it loosely wadded
This here'll take the pain out and won't mess your hair
Place your order early 'cause you know I'm in a hurry
Your neighbor's in her doorway, won't you sign right here

Place your order early 'cause you know I'm in a hurry
Your neighbor's in her doorway, won't you sign right here
Place your order early 'cause you know I'm in a hurry
Your neighbor's in her doorway, won't you sign right here

Matin, fais lever le soleil
Matin, à l'instant du réveil
Viens tendrement poser
Tes perles de rosée
Sur la nature en fleurs
Chère à mon cœur
Le ciel a choisi mon pays
Pour faire un nouveau paradis
Où loin des tourments
Danse un éternel printemps
Pour les amants

Chante chante mon cœur
La chanson du matin
Dans la joie de la vie qui reviens

Matin, fais lever le soleil
Matin, à l'instant du réveil
Mets dans le cœur battant
De celui que j'attends
Un doux rayon d'amour
Beau comme le jour
Afin que son premier soupir
Réponde à mon premier désir
Oui, l'heure est venue
Où chaque baiser perdu
Ne revient plus...
Oui, l'heure est venue
Où chaque baiser perdu
Ne revient plus

Chante chante mon cœur
La chanson du matin
Dans la joie de la vie qui reviens

Doonaree


Doonaree
Composer(s): Eilish Boland
Performer(s): Vera Lynn
and various other artists



If you ever go to Ireland
I'm sure you will agree
To take the road from Dublin town
Way down to Doonaree
'Tis there you'll find a wishing well
Beyond a chestnut tree
In a shady nook, by a winding brook
Will you make this wish for me

Oh to be in Doonaree
With a sweetheart I once knew
To stroll in the shade of the leafy glade
Where the rhododendrons grew
To sit with my love on the bridge
Above the rippling waterfall
But to go back home, never more to roam
Is my dearest wish of all

And if you take the hilly path
To the woods where bluebells grow
Where we as barefoot children played
So many years ago
You'll find a slumbering castle there
Enshrined in memory
In a shady nook, by a winding brook
Will you make this wish for me

Oh to be in Doonaree
With a sweetheart I once knew
To stroll in the shade of the leafy glade
Where the rhododendrons grew
To sit with my love on the bridge
Above the rippling waterfall
But to go back home, never more to roam
Is my dearest wish of all

To go back home, never more to roam
Is my dearest wish of all

Back home, never more to roam
Is my dearest wish of all

Das Glück kam zu mir wie ein Traum
Musik aus dem endlosen Raum
so wie ein Sonnenstrahl
auf zartem Blütentau
im ersten Morgengraum
so war dein Kuß

Noch nie war das Glück mir so nah
noch nie war ein Herz für mich da
die MAske zerbrach
ich hab dein Gesicht gesehen
die Zeit blieb stehen
ein vergessener Kuß
ein verlorener Blick
kommen nie mehr im Leben zurück

Noch nie war das Glück mir so nah
noch nie war ein Herz für mich da

Dooley


Dooley Composer(s): Rodney Dillard - Mitch Jayne Performer(s): The Dillards and multiple other artists



Dooley was a good old man, lived below the mill
Dooley had two daughters and a forty gallon still
One gal watched the boiler, the other watched the spout
and mama corked the bottles when old Dooley fetched them out

Chorus
Dooley, slippin' up the holler, Dooley, tryin' to make a dollar
Dooley, gimmee a swaller and I'll pay you back some day

They revenuers came for him, a-slippin' thru the woods
Dooley kept behind them all and never lost his goods
Dooley was a trader when into town he come
Sugar by the bushel and molasses by the ton

chorus...

I remember very well the day old Dooley died
the women folk looked sorry and the men stood 'round and cried
Now Dooley's on the mountain, he lies there all alone
they put a jug beside him and a barrel for a stone

chorus...

La Canzone Di Marinella


La Canzone Di Marinella
((French Version: La Romance De Marinelle (by Roberto Ferri) - 2003))
Composer(s): Fabrizio De André
First release by: Fabrizio De André - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



Questa di Marinella è la storia vera
che scivolò nel fiume a primavera
ma il vento che la vide così bella
dal fiume la portò sopra una stella
Sola senza il ricordo di un dolore
vivevi senza il sogno di un amore
ma un re senza corona e senza scorta
bussò tre volte un giorno alla tua porta
Bianco come la luna il suo cappello
come l'amore rosso il suo mantello
tu lo seguisti senza una ragione
come un ragazzo segue un aquilone
E c'era il sole e avevi gli occhi belli
lui ti baciò le labbra ed i capelli
c'era la luna e avevi gli occhi stanchi
lui pose le sue mani suoi tuoi fianchi
Furono baci e furono sorrisi
poi furono soltanto i fiordalisi
che videro con gli occhi delle stelle
fremere al vento e ai baci la tua pelle
Dicono poi che mentre ritornavi
nel fiume chissà come scivolavi
e lui che non ti volle creder morta
bussò cent'anni ancora alla tua porta
Questa è la tua canzone Marinella
che sei volata in cielo su una stella
e come tutte le più belle cose
vivesti solo un giorno, come le rose
E come tutte le più belle cose
vivesti solo un giorno, come le rose

Doo Dah Blues


Doo Dah Blues
Composer(s): Fred Rose - Eddie White



What will become of me
what will become of me
something it's plain to see is wrong with me
yes wrong with me
I'm always sighing I'm always crying
Sad am I
here's the reason why
Just only yesterday my sweetie went away
I thought t'was all in play but when I heard her say
"Doo Dah, good-bye to you
Doo Dah, that means that I'm thru"
Oh! Lordy

You've heard my tale of woe
and now I know you know just why I'm worried so
Yes worried so and flurried so
I loved her only that's why I'm lonely
and I miss most of all her kiss
maybe if she could see
Just what she did to me
sorry perhaps she'd be and set my poor heart free
but I suppose she's thru
there's nothing else I can do

Oh! those Doo Dah Blues
I want to lose those Doo Dah Blues
for all night long till early dawn they seem to come and never leave me
Lordy but they grieve me
Do they, they do I'll say they do
Oh! I know those Doo Dah Blues will sure refuse poor me to lose
I've got 'em now and oh!
somehow I know that if you'd had 'em
you'd a long to lose the Doo Dah Blues

La Canzone Dell'amore Perduto


La Canzone Dell'amore Perduto
Composer(s): Fabrizio De André
First release by: Fabrizio De André - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



Ricordi sbocciavano le viole
con le nostre parole
"non ci lasceremo mai
mai e poi mai"
Vorrei dirti, ora, le stesse cose
ma come fan presto, amore
ad appassire le rose
così per noi
L'amore che strappa i capelli
é perduto ormai
Non resta che qualche svogliata carezza
e un po' di tenerezza
E quando ti troverai in mano
quei fiori appassiti
al sole di un aprile
ormai lontano li rimpiangerai
Ma sarà la prima
che incontri per strada
che tu coprirai d'oro
per un bacio mai dato
per un amore nuovo
E sarà la prima che incontri per strada
che tu coprirai d'oro
per un bacio mai dato
per un amore nuovo
