La Cita
La Cita
Composer(s): J. Compairé - J. Mas
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Salgo de la ducha
el agua de colonia me recuerda a ti
busco algo que ponerme
sólo pienso en nuestra cita
Llevo todo el día
esperando ese momento
no te retrases por favor
voy contando los segundos
fumo mucho estoy nervioso
deja de latir tan fuerte, corazón
Tengo mucha suerte
he llegado a tiempo al auto bus
caminando entre la gente
voy corriendo a tu encuentro
de algún jardín he robado dos violetas
son poca cosa, ya lo sé
Pero tengo otro regalo
un secreto que contarte
eres lo que yo esperaba encontrar
Cruzo el disco en rojo
los frenos de los coches suenan a metal
piensan que estoy loco es de alegría
entro en el café
son las doce y un segundo
no te retrases por favor
Trato de tranquilizarme
todavía no es muy tarde
no me importa cuando vengas, pero ven

Down At The Twist And Shout
Down At The Twist And Shout
((Portuguese Version: Sábado Á Noite (Sandy & Júnior))
Composer(s): Mary Chapin Carpenter
Performer(s): Mary Chapin Carpenter
and multiple other artists
Saturday night and the moon is out
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
Gonna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight
Well I never have wandered down to New Orleans
Never have drifted down a bayou stream
But I heard that music on the radio
And I swore some day I was gonna go
Down Highway 10 past Lafayette
To Baton Rouge and I won't forget
To send you a card with my regrets
'Cause I'm never gonna come back home
Saturday night and the moon is out
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
Gonna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight
They got a alligator stew and a crawfish pie
A golf storm blowin' into town tonight
Livin on the delta's quite a show
They got hurricane parties every time it blows
And here up north it's a cold cold rain
And there ain't no cure for my blues today
Except when the paper says: Beausoleil is coming into town
Baby let's go down
Saturday night and the moon is out
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
Gonna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight
Bring your mama, bring your papa, bring your sister too
They got lots of music and lots of room
When they play you a waltz from 1910
You gonna feel a little bit young again
Well you learned to dance with your rock'n'roll
You learned to swing with a do-si-do
But you learn to love at the fais-so-do
When you hear a little Jolie Blon
Saturday night and the moon is out
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
Gonna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight

La Chose
La Chose
Performer(s): Patachou
Y a ceux qui font la chose
En regardant l'plafond
Ou en comptant les mouches
Qui sont su'l'guéridon
Y a ceux qui font la chose
En pensant à l'argent
Et ceux qui n'pensent à rien
Parce que c'est fatiguant
Y a ceux qui font la chose
En s'demandant pourquoi
Et ceux qui font la chose
Comme s'ils étaient en bois
Ceux qui pendant la chose
Se mettent à bégayer
Et qui s'étonnent après
D'avoir des quintuplés
Y a ceux qui font la chose
En chantant une chanson
En battant la mesure
En tapant du talon
Y a ceux qui font la chose
Toujours un peu distants
Parce que c'est l'seul moyen
Pour avoir des enfants
Ceux qui pendant la chose
Poussent des cris violents
Pour que les voisins croient
Qu'ils passent en bon moment
Y a ceux qui font la chose
Sans passion ni désir
Parce que c'est le seul truc
Qui fasse vraiment maigrir
Y a ceux qui font la chose
Pour battre des records
Tous ceux dont les appas
Ne sont qu'un livre d'or
Y a ceux qui font la chose
Avec des accessoires
Qu'ont besoin d'une trompette
Ou bien d'une balançoire
Ceux qui lorsque la chose
Est déjà terminée
Se demandent si la chose
Va bientôt commencer
Y a ceux qui font la chose
Pas pour les sensations
Une seule fois dans l'année
Pour les allocations
Ils ont l'œil triste le cou tendu
Les ratés de la bagatelle
Ils font la chose en pardessus
Les ratés du fruit défendu
Car tous ceux à qui
La chose ne fait rien
N'aiment pas ceux à qui
La chose fait du bien

Down At The Old Bull And Bush
Down At The Old Bull And Bush
Composer(s): Stu Krone - Andrew B. Sterling - Harry Von Tilzer
Performer(s): Florrie Forde
Talk about the shade of the sheltering palm
Praise the bamboo tree
with it's wide spreading charm
There's a little nook
down near old Hampstead Town
You know the place it has one great renown
Often with my sweetheart on a bright Summers day
To the little pub there my footsteps will stray
If she hesitates when she looks at the sign
Promptly I whisper, "Now do not decline"
Come, come, come and make eyes at me
down at the Old Bull and Bush
Da, da, da, da, da
Come, come, drink some port wine with me
Down at the Old Bull and Bush
Hear the little German Band
Da, da, da, da, da
Just let me hold your hand dear
Do, do come and have a drink or two
down at the Old Bull and Bush
Do, do, come and have a drink or two
down at the Old Bull and Bush
Bush, Bush!

Mira que chica mas linda, mas llena de gracia
es esa muchacha, que viene y que pasa
con su balanceo, camino del mar
Ella de cuerpo dorado, del Sol de Ipanema
y su balanceo, es todo un poema
y nunca me mira siquiera al pasar
Ay, yo me siento tan solo
Ay, yo me siento tan triste
Ay, la belleza que existe, la belleza que no es solo
suya, y que sueño que quizas me arrulle
Oh! si ella supiera que cuando ella pasa
el mundo sonriente, se llena de gracia
con su balanceo camino del mar

Down At The End Of Your Road
Down At The End Of Your Road
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull
I am your neighbor
I seem most respectable
But underneath I'm an iniquitous toad
So many dreadful mishaps have befallen you
down at the end of your road
And I live down the end of your road
I'm working on ways to remove you from paradise
from your striped lawn and your new swimming pool
I place broken bottles in your geraniums
sabotage your gardening tools
And I live down the end of your road
By day I am a real estate gentleman
I deal in fine properties cheap at the price
After dark, I plan my most devious practices
which you might think are not very nice
Designing a system to reverse your plumbing
welling up, as you sit on your private throne
Will come up all kinds of vile and despicable nasties
you would rather not have in your home
And I live down the end of your road
Dispensed loathsome creatures in your drawing room
Sent doggy poo-poos in your morning mail
Rat's heads and lark's wings should set your tums turning
and your houses will soon be for sale
And I live down the end of your road
Yes, I live down the end of your road
Well, I live down the end of your road
I live down the end of your road
I live down the end of your road
I live down the end of your road

Torneresti sui tuoi passi
ragazza di ipanema che passi
se ti voltassi
ad ogni singolo "ah!"
ma tu segui per la tua strada
un lungo samba
che si snoda
ovunque vada
destando un coro di "ah!"...
oh se per lui ti fermassi
oh se per lui ti voltassi
se la sua voce ascoltassi
ma per te d'importante non c'e'
nient'altro al di fuori di te...
basterebbe ti voltassi
ragazza di ipanema che passi
ma non consideri mai
nient'altro che te...
oh se per lui ti fermassi

Down At The Baby Store
Down At The Baby Store
Composer(s): Alfred Bryan - Harry Von Tilzer
"Mamma" sighs a lad
"I'm lonely, since our baby's gone away"
As he looks toward a mansion
where some children are at play
"Can't I have a little sister, tell me ain't there any more?"
Mamma hides her tears and answers
"Yes dear, at the baby store"
'Cause we're poor I have no playmates
"says the lad with tear dimmed eyes
"Some one there will surely love me"
Then he drops his toys and sighs
By an orphan home he pauses, sees the children round the door
In a childish voice he whispers, "This must be the baby store"
Spies a lonesome little lassie, golden hair and eyes of blue
Takes her by the hand to mamma, says "I've brought her home to you
For like me she's poor and lonely, and her mamma dear is dead"
Then he puts his arms around her
As with childish pride he said
Down at the baby store
Down at the baby store, I'll find a girlie that looks like you
Nice golden hair and sweet eyes of blue
I'll bring her home to stay
With me she'll always play
There's one I am sure
Who'll love me though I'm poor
Down at the baby store"

Grande, mince, belle et douce
La fille d'Ipanema se pousse
Sur le rivage
Et toute le plage
Fait Ah ! ...
Elle marche comme une algue
Portée sur l'aile d'une vague
Jusqu'au rivage
Et toute le plage
Fait Ah ! ...
Oh les garçons la regardent
Et leurs idées qui bavardent
Ont des chansons qui s'attardent
Sur le corps de la fille aux yeux clairs
Mais elle, elle ne voit que la mer
Grande, mince, belle et douce
Comme une voile dans sa course
Ils ne voient qu'elle
Mais elle ne voit que la mer
elle ne voit que la mer ...

Performer(s): Ohio Express; Kasenetz-Katz
See the neon sign
The kids stand in line
And money clutched in hand
They wanna hear that band
Base is thumpin'
Everybody's jumpin'
The drummer keeps beatin'
Everybody's meet down at Lulu's
Down at Lulu's
It's got you red and blue
The music gets to you
And swept right off your feet
You can't escape that beat
'Cause the bass is thumpin'
Everybody's jumpin'
The drummer keeps beatin'
Everybody's meetin' down at Lulu's
Down at Lulu's
The chicks passin' by
Are gonna catch your eye
You may came alone but
That's not how you'll go home
'Cause the bass is thumpin'
Everybody's jumpin'
The drummer keeps beatin'
Everybody's meetin
Down at Lulu's
Down at Lulu's

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes - ah
When she walks, she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes, each one she passes goes - ooh
(Ooh) But I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her
Yes I would give my heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me
Tall, (and) tan, (and) young, (and) lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, I smile - but she doesn't see (doesn't see)
(She just doesn't see, she never sees me ...)

Down Argentina Way
Down Argentina Way
Composer(s): Mack Gordon - Harry Warren
Performer(s): Dinah Shore
and multiple other artists
You'll find your life will begin
The very moment you're in Argentina
If you're romantic senor
Then you will surely adore Argentina
You'll be as gay as can be
If you will learn to "si si" like a Latin
For mister soon as you learn
Then you will never return to Manhattan
When you hear "yo te amo"
You'll steal a kiss and then
If she should say "manana"
It's just to let you know
You're gonna meet again
I'll bet an old castanet
That you will never forget Argentina
Where there are rhumbas and tangos
To tickle your spine
Moonlight and music and orchids and wine
You'll want to stay down Argentina way

La Chasse Aux Papillons
La Chasse Aux Papillons
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
First release by: Georges Brassens - 1955
Covered by multiple other artists
Un bon petit diable à la fleur de l'âge
La jambe légère et l'œil polisson
Et la bouche pleine de joyeux ramages
Allait à la chasse aux papillons
Comme il atteignait l'orée du village
Filant sa quenouille, il vit Cendrillon
Il lui dit: "Bonjour, que Dieu te ménage
J't'emmène à la chasse aux papillons"
Cendrillon ravie de quitter sa cage
Met sa robe neuve et ses botillons
Et bras d'ssus bras d'ssous vers les frais bocages
Ils vont à la chasse aux papillons
Il ne savait pas que sous les ombrages
Se cachait l'amour et son aiguillon
Et qu'il transperçait les cœurs de leur âge
Les cœurs des chasseurs de papillons
Quand il se fit tendre, elle lui dit: "J'présage
Qu'c'est pas dans les plis de mon cotillon
Ni dans l'échancrure de mon corsage
Qu'on va à la chasse aux papillons"
Sur sa bouche en feu qui criait: "Sois sage!"
Il posa sa bouche en guise de bâillon
Et c'fut l'plus charmant des remue-ménage
Qu'on ait vu d'mémoir' de papillon
Un volcan dans l'âme, ils r'vinrent au village
En se promettant d'aller des millions
Des milliards de fois, et mêm' davantage
Ensemble à la chasse aux papillons
Mais tant qu'ils s'aim'ront, tant que les nuages
Porteurs de chagrins, les épargneront
Il f'ra bon voler dans les frais bocages
Ils f'ront pas la chasse aux papillons

Down And Out
Down And Out
Composer(s): Paul Williams
Performer(s): Paul Williams
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out!
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out!
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out!
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out!
You don't have to sit around
Complaining 'bout the way your life has wound up
Think of all the time you waste
And time's a precious thing to let go by!
Sure you've hit the bottom,
But remember you'll be building from the ground up!
Ev'ry day's another step
That takes you even closer to the sky, so give a try!
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out!
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out!
You don't have to sit around
Depressed about the way that luck deceived you!
Fortune sailed away, you missed that boat
And found that you'd been left behind!
Fight and fight some more
Until you know the world is ready to receive you
Lady luck is fickle
But a lady is allowed to change her mind
You don't have to sit around
Complaining 'bout the way your life has wound up
So be a man you know you can't be certain
That you'll lose until you try!
You don't have to sit around
Complaining 'bout the way your life has wound up
So be a man you know you can't be certain
That you'll lose until you try, so give it a try!
We as one shout, up, up, up and out!
We as one shout, up, up, up and out!
We as one shout, up, up, up and out!
We as one shout, up, up, up and out!
(Repeat)

La Chanteuse Qui A Tout Donné
La Chanteuse Qui A Tout Donné
Composer(s): Michel Berger
Performer(s): France Gall
Allez chanter l'amour à ma place
Les soirs qui naviguent et l'amour qui casse
Moi, c'est comme si j'avais tout donné
Comme s'il ne restait
Qu'une image floue à travers la glace
D'une ou deux chansons qui n'ont plus leur place
Comme un balancement d'autrefois
Dont il reste quoi
Qu'un peu de silence du côté du cœur
Un calme étrange une étrange douleur
Un peu de silence du côté du cœur
Est-ce qu'on en guérit docteur!
J'ai tout sacrifié à la mécanique
De l'émotion du piano électrique
Ces milliers de regards inconnus
M'ont-ils vraiment vue
Que reste-t-il quand la musique s'arrête
Des ampoules de flashs qu'on use et qu'on jette
Et de ma voix et des gestes
Écoutez ce qu'il reste
Un peu de silence du côté du cœur
Un calme étrange une étrange douleur
Un peu de silence du côté du cœur
Est-ce qu'on en guérit docteur!
Un peu de silence du côté du cœur
Un calme étrange une étrange douleur
Un peu de silence du côté du cœur
Est-ce qu'on en guérit docteur!
Un peu de silence du côté du cœur
Un calme étrange une étrange douleur
Un peu de silence du côté du cœur
Est-ce qu'on en guérit docteur!

Down Among The Sheltering Palms
Down Among The Sheltering Palms
Composer(s): James Brockman - Abe Olman
Performer(s): The Boswell Sisters
and multiple other artists
I', way down East, down East
And my heart is pining, pining for you
You're way out West, out West
And my soul is craving, craving for you
I love you so, Just you, I know
It takes six days to go there with a train
Just one week more, and I'll be with you again
I long to be
When I was South, down South
There I saw some pretty, pretty places
When I was North, way North
I saw many, many pretty faces, not one so fair
None could compare
There's only one place way out in the West
And you are there, where with you I long to rest
I long to be
Down among the sheltering palms
O honey, wait for me
O honey, wait for me
Meet me down by the old Golden Gate
Out where the sun goes down about eight
How my love is burning, burning, burning
How my heart is yearning, yearning, yearning
to be down among the sheltering palms
O honey, wait for me!

La Chansonnette
La Chansonnette
((Dutch Version: Zo Heerlijk Rustig (by Wim Sonneveld) - 1969))
Composer(s): Philippe Gérard - Jean Dréjac
First release by: Yves Montand - 1961
La, la, la, mine de rien
La voilà qui revient
La chansonnette
Elle avait disparu
Le pavé de ma rue
Etait tout bête
Les refrains de Paris
Avaient pris l'maquis
Les forains, l'orphéon
La chanson d'Macky
Mais on n'oublie jamais
Le flonflon qui vous met
Le cœur en fête
Quand le vieux musicien
Dans le quartier
Vient revoir les anciens
Faire son métier
Le public se souvient
D'la chansonnette
Tiens, tiens
Les titis, les marquis
C'est parti, mon kiki
La chansonnette
A Presley fait du tort
Car tous les transistors
Soudain s'arrêtent
Sous le ciel de Paris
Un accordéon
Joue la chanson d'Macky
Comme avant l'néon
Cueilli par un flonflon
Un têtard en blouson
D'un franc d'violette
Va fleurir sa Bardot
Car malgré son aigle
Au milieu du dos
Le cœur est bon
Et sous ses cheveux gris
La chansonnette
Sourit!
La, la, la, hauts les cœurs
Avec moi tous en chœur
La chansonnette
Et passons la monnaie
En garçon qui connait
La chansonnette
Il a fait sa moisson
De refrains d'Paris
Les forains, l'orphéon
La chanson d'Macky
Car on n'oublie jamais
Le flonflon qui vous met
Le cœur en fête
Il faut du temps, c'est vrai
Pour séparer
Le bon grain de l'ivraie
Pour comparer
Mais on trouve un beau jour
Sa chansonnette
D'amour!
