La Tarentelle
La Tarentelle
Composer(s): Étienne Roda-Gil - Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc
Elle est bien finie la tarentelle de ma vie
Tu as disparu sous le ciel trop grand d'Italie
Que vienne l'ombre enfin
Que j'oublie
Oui j'oublie mon chagrin
"Je dois t'avouer
Que ce matin dans la rue
Rayonnante je t'ai vue"
Près du Colisée heureuse
"Tu lui souriais
Dans la rue, dans la rue"
Elle est bien finie la tarentelle de ma vie
Beaucoup d'amours se brisent sous le ciel d'Italie
Je reprends le chemin
Qui me mènera loin
D'Italie, d'Italie
La Tour de Pise
Peut bien s'écrouler
Tout Venise s'engloutir
Florence entière se noyer
Dans la boue
Et Rome s'abolir
Elle est bien finie la tarentelle de ma vie
Je ne viendrai plus dans ce pays où tu n'es plus
Je reprends le chemin
Qui me mènera loin
D'Italie, d'Italie
La Tour de Pise
Sur toi peut s'écrouler
Tout Venise t'engloutir
Florence et toi vous noyer
Dans la boue
Après tout, je m'en fous

Back To The Future
Composer(s): Diana Ross - Bill Wray - Kim Bullard
Performer(s): Diana Ross
Every day’s a new beginning
That’s what I stand for
Since our possibilities
In a world out of control
You’re looking for a miracle
To spray the air feel the rain
Since you’re out of control
Married to pain
Which way forever
Which way will I go
Which way forever
There’s no heroes
Take me back, take me out
Back to the future
Back to the future
Change your thinking
Change your mind
Back to the future
Close your eyes and pretend
That you’re a bird in the sky
Turn your face to the wind
I know you can learn to fly
Which way forever
Which way will I go
Which way forever
There’s no heroes
Take me back, take me out
Back to the future
Back to the future
Change your thinking
Change your mind
Back to the future
Back to the future
Take me back, take me out
Back to the future
Back to the future
Change your thinking
Change your mind
Back to the future
Back to the future
Believe you can be
Believe that you can
You can make a stay
We can change the world
I know we can
You gotta take me back, take me out
Back to the future
Back to the future
Change your thinking
Change your mind
Back to the future
Back to the future
Take me back, take me out
Back to the future
Back to the future
Change your thinking
Change your mind

Young And In Love
Young And In Love
Composer(s): Dick St John
Performer(s): Dick & Deedee
When you're young and in love, so in love
The whole world seems to know!
Love is like a candle light
Always giving off a glow
When you're young and in love, so in love
All your troubles pass on by
There is nothing in this whole wide world
that could ever let you cry
When you're in love, you walk in the clouds
The night time turns to day
Any dark clouds that cover the sky
They just seem to float away
When you're young and in love, so in love
The whole world seems to know!
Love is like a candle light
Always giving off a glow
The whole world seems to know
When you're young and in love!

Back To The Days Of The Romans
Back To The Days Of The Romans
Composer(s): Lou Christie - Twyla Herbert
Performer(s): Lou Christie
Let me save thee, save thee from the den of inequity
Let me save thee; we're repeating Roman hist'ry
Our mysteries on pencil & paper to touch a way of livin'
It's not in the bag, honey, I'll bunch & sag; the Romans did it
But I'll give you moonlight, old-fashioned moonlight
Like initials on a tree, saying that you love me
Back to the days of the Romans, baby, that's where we're goin'
(That's where we're goin') that's where we're goin'
Sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah
Let me save thee from walkin' the path of least resistance
Let me save thee, baby don't laugh with the Devil's existence
Those were fine, they were havin' some time
When Caesar lost his handle
I prayed for all, they were havin' a ball
On women & scare 'em
But I'll give you moonlight, old-fashioned moonlight
Like initials on a tree, saying that you love me
Back to the days of the Romans, baby, that's where we're goin'
(That's where we're goin') that's where we're goin'
Sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah
Moonlight, old-fashioned moonlight
Moonlight, old-fashioned moonlight
Back to the days of the Romans, baby, that's where we're goin'
(That's where we're goin') that's where we're goin'
Sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah
Back to the days of the Romans, baby, that's where we're goin'
(That's where we're goin') that's where we're goin'
Sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah
(repeat):
Sing hallelujah

Pretty Kitty Kelly
Pretty Kitty Kelly
Composer(s): Edward Nelson - Harry Pease
Performer(s): Charles Harrison
Somewhere in Ireland, over the sea
A sweet little colleen is waiting for me
When I went away I said it won't be long
Sure all day it's me who keeps singing this song
Pretty Kitty Kelly
She's the only girl for me
Pretty Kitty Kelly
She is all my eyes can see!
For there's not a colleen sweeter
In the land where shamrock grows
Than my pretty Kitty Kelly
She's my wild Irish rose!
I wrote a letter to Kitty, my own
And told her that I'd soon be starting for home
I know when she reads it, will sure make her smile
For faith, and I can't help but sing all the while
Pretty Kitty Kelly
She's the only girl for me
Pretty Kitty Kelly
She is all my eyes can see!
For there's not a colleen sweeter
In the land where shamrock grows
Than my pretty Kitty Kelly
She's my wild Irish rose!
For there's not a colleen sweeter
In the land where shamrock grows
Than my pretty Kitty Kelly
She's my wild Irish rose!

Back To The Carolina You Love
Back To The Carolina You Love
Composer(s): Grant Clarke - Jean Schwartz
Performer(s): Al Jolson
Carolina that's a State
And a girlie too
One who promised that she'd wait
For somebody I knew
Since he's gone I hear she's wed
How his lonesome heart has bled
This is all the poor boy said
"What is a fellow to do"
Carolina broke his heart
When she wouldn't wait
Tho' he must forget the girl
He remembers the State
Every year he loves to go
Down there where the roses grow
Once he said "I love her so
"But I'm a little too late"
Gone are the days I used to spend with Carolina
She had the sunshine in her laughter
Just like the State they named her after
Gone are the days the golden days I'm dreaming of
And still I seem to hear her say
"Will you be back
Will you be back, back to the Carolina you love?"

La Strega
La Strega
Composer(s): Angelo Branduardi
Performer(s): Angelo Branduardi
Era una festa d 'estate e dodici anni lei compì
fu la prima volta che negli occhi un uomo la guardò...
Curava l'orto di suo padre e a guardarla lui si fermò
era uno strano uomo che quel che sapeva le insegnò
E l'oro ora lei nella sabbia sa trovare
in lucido argento la cenere mutare...
un corvo nero sarà, fuoco folletto se solo lo vorrà
e quando lei canterà farà la luna trasalire
un corvo nero sarà, fuoco folletto se solo lo vorrà
Quello che c'è da sapere di questo mondo ora sa
quello che è stato già, tutto_quello che sarà
Era una festa d'estate il giorno che passò di là
e fu la prima volta che negli occhi un uomo la guardò...
Era una festa d'estate, felice lei lo seguì
lasciò la casa di suo padre e per amore se ne andò.
E all'alba ora lei a piedi nudi sa ballare
e strane erbe lei in fondo ai pozzi sa trovare...
un corvo nero sarà, fuoco folletto se solo lo vorrà
e quando lei canterà farà la luna trasalire
un corvo nero sarà, fuoco folletto se solo lo vorrà
Quello che c'è da sapere di questo mondo ora sa
quello che è stato già, tutto quello che sarà

La Strada Del Bosco
Composer(s): Gary DeMichele
Performer(s): Claudio Villa
Vieni
C'è una strada nel bosco
Il suo nome conosco
Vuoi conoscerlo tu
Vieni
È la strada del cuore
Dove nasce l'amore
Che non muore mai più
Laggiú tra gli alberi
Intrecciato coi rami in fior'
C'è un nido semplice
Come sogna il tuo cuor'
Vieni
C'è una strada nel bosco
Il suo nuome conosco
Vuoi conoscerlo tu
Un usignolo a sera sospirerà
Ed ogni fata in fronte ti bacierà
Canta il tuo cuore il bosco la ninna nanna
Mentre una culla bianca prepari tu
Laggiù tra gli alberi
Intrecciato coi rami in fior'
C'è un nido semplice
Come sogna il tuo cuor'
Vieni
C'è una strada nel bosco
Il suo nome conosco, vuoi conoscerlo tu

Back To School
Back To School
Composer(s): Tom T. Hall
Performer(s): Jeannie C. Riley
Wintertime comes early to the north part of this state
I walk along the river where we used to come and skate
The trees're now all gone and by the river there's a sign
Trespassin' is a twenty dollar fine
Lookin' up the road toward the schoolhouse on the hill
That thing about an empty building causes me to chill
My memory goes back to when the teacher rang the bell
The day she sent you home for saying hell
Walkin' past the building so important in my past
The road is full of ol' discarded bottles and some trash
I step behind the building as I shelter from the cold
I see our names in letters big and bold
My fingers trace the letters of a work of art alone
And I recall the day that you carved it in a stone
Somehow I can see you now with books and coat in hand
You always waved as down the hill you ran
Cokes were just a nickel then and many were the times
The two of us would sip them as if they were village wine
And then on Graduation Day we bought the little ring
And said that carats didn't mean a thing
Now I retrace my footsteps to the cab that waits for me
Looking back to see our names you carved upon a tree
The driver says I look familiar asks me what's my name
I say hurry I have to catch a plane

La Storia Di Serafino
La Storia Di Serafino
Composer(s): Adriano Celentano - Mike DelPrete
Performer(s): Adriano Celentano
Perché continuano a costruire le case
e non lasciano l'erba, non lasciano
l'erba, non lasciano l'erba, non lasciano l'erba
Eh no! se andiamo avanti
così, chissà come si farà! chissà!
E così la seconda storia
che vi voglio raccontare
è quella del pastore Serafino!
al mondo antico, chiuso nel suo cuore
la gente del duemila ormai non crede più!
Con le pecore e un cane fedele
tre amici sempre pronti
nei pascoli sui monti
a una spanna dal "regno dei cieli"
viveva felice così!
oh Serafino... difendi
difendi la tua libertà! la libertà!
quel giovane pastore piaceva alle ragazze
perché negli occhi aveva avventura!
E quando prese in pugno la fortuna
e un gruzzolo di soldi per caso ereditò
si fece una grande festa da fare girar la testa!
scoppiarono i mortaretti, si fecero dei banchetti!
Per tutti ci fu un sorriso, che giorni
di paradiso per il pastore ricco Serafino!
regalò qualche cosa agli amici
che gioia nel paese per quelle pazze spese
Uno scialle, una radio, un coltello e una macchina rossa per se!
oh Serafino... le donne, le donne ti dicono di sì
Beato te! "tiero, tiero, tiero, tiero, tierà, tierà, tierà"
Lui spinge la macchina che in un burrone va e scoppierà!
dopo i giorni dell'allegria amaro resta il vino...
si trova in tribunale Serafino!
I suoi nemici per prendere i suoi soldi
lo fan passar per matto e lui che fa!
Si riprende le pecore e il cane
gli amici sempre pronti
e torna là sui monti
nella casa più grande del mondo
che soffitto e pareti non ha!
oh Serafino... difendi
difendi la tua libertà! la libertà!
ti voglio bene pastore Serafino!
Un uomo con il cuore da bambino!
e libero come aria purissima
del mattino per vivere là sui monti
ritorna Serafino!

Back Street Luv
Back Street Luv
Composer(s): Ian Eyre - Sonja Kristina - Darryl Way
First release by: Curved Air - 1971
Summer's comin', time to dream the day away
And she's so sunny is the girl you met today
Will she make it?
Can she take it?
Like to try love, such a shy love
Ragged backstreet, leanin' on the wall
She weaves a story of her life before it all
Did she give love?
Could she feel love?
Did she find love?
Was it real love?
Where's your smile today?
Did she let you down?
Try to see she didn't mean to make you feel so sad
Ragged backstreet, sittin' on a wall
She tells of men that she knew before it all
When she made love she tried to find love, when she gives love she will find love
Summer's comin', time ...
Where's your smile today ...

First release by: Jacques Brel - 1962
J'aimerais tenir l'enfant de Marie
Qui a fait graver sous ma statue
"Il a vécu toute sa vie
Entre l'honneur et la vertu"
Moi qui ai trompé mes amis
De faux serment en faux serment
Moi qui ai trompé mes amis
Du jour de l'An au jour de l'An
Moi qui ai trompé mes maîtresses
De sentiment en sentiment
Moi qui ai trompé mes maîtresses
Du printemps jusques au printemps
Cet enfant de Marie je l'aimerais là
Et j'aimerais que les enfants ne me regardent pas
J'aimerais tenir l'enfant de carême
Qui a fait graver sous ma statue
"Les Dieux rappellent ceux qu'ils aiment
Et c'était lui qu'ils aimaient le plus"
Moi qui n'ai jamais prié Dieu
Que lorsque j'avais mal aux dents
Moi qui n'ai jamais prié Dieu
Que quand j'ai eu peur de Satan
Moi qui n'ai prié Satan
Que lorsque j étais amoureux
Moi qui n'ai prié Satan
Que quand j'ai eu peur du Bon Dieu
Cet enfant de carême je l'aimerais là
Et j'aimerais que les enfants ne me regardent pas
J'aimerais tenir enfant de salaud
Qui a fait graver sous ma statue
"Il est mort comme un héros
Il est mort comme on ne meurt plus"
Moi qui suis parti faire la guerre
Parce que je m'ennuyais tellement
Moi qui suis parti faire la guerre
Pour voir si les femmes des Allemands
Moi qui suis mort à la guerre
Parce que les femmes des Allemands
Moi qui suis mort à la guerre
De n'avoir pu faire autrement
Cet enfant de salaud je l'aimerais là
Et j'aimerais que mes enfants ne me regardent pas

La Stagione Dell'amore
Composer(s): Giusto Pio - Franco Battiato
First release by: Franco Battiato - 1983
Covered by multiple other artists
La stagione dell'amore viene e va
i desideri non invecchiano quasi mai con l'età
Se penso a come ho speso male il mio tempo
che non tornerà, non ritornerà più
La stagione dell'amore viene e va
all'improvviso senza accorgerti, la vivrai, ti sorprenderà
Ne abbiamo avute di occasioni
perdendole; non rimpiangerle, non rimpiangerle mai
Ancora un'altro entusiasmo ti farà pulsare il cuore
Nuove possibilità per conoscersi
e gli orizzonti perduti non ritornano mai
La stagione dell'amore tornerà
con le paure e le scommesse questa volta quanto durerà
Se penso a come ho speso male il mio tempo
che non tornerà, non ritornerà più

Back Pocket Money
Back Pocket Money
Composer(s): Tom T. Hall
Performer(s): Jimmy Newman
My baby won't give me no back pocket money
She's afraid I'll spend it on the girls downtown
Front pocket money, just the nickel and dime stuff
Sure cuts down my running around
Back pocket money, holding cold cash
Makes all the girls think I'm a fancy-dan
Front pocket money won't make the girls smile
Oh, and I wish I was a back pocket money man
Do somethin' good here for me, boys
Clever rooster ain't worth much if he can't pull some
My Baby said, "Leave all them little chicks alone"
So she won't give me no back pocket money
Said I'd be better off if I'd do a little crowin' at home
Back pocket money, holding cold cash
Makes all the girls think I'm a fancy-dan
Front pocket money won't make the girls smile
Lord, I wish I was a back pocket money man
