Een droom laat je hart iets wensen
Als je heel diep slaapt
Hij zorgt dat bij vele mensen

Een droom schenkt je weer vertrouwen
Je zorgen worden minder zwaar
Dus laat je hart niet langer treuren
Want eens zal het gebeuren
De wens in je droom wordt echt waar
De wens in mijn droom wordt echt waar
Dus laat je hart niet langer treuren
Want eens zal het gebeuren
De wens in je droom wordt echt waar

If I could achieve what I do with these
I wouldn't ask you for anything else
Bring me closer

You took me nowhere

Something that you do to me fills me with unease
Something that you do to me
do to me . . .
Again and again
I lose myself again inside you and your lie
Bring me closer

If I could achieve

Bring me closer

Something that you do to me
do to me

Let's Be Friends
Let's Be Friends
Composer(s): Chris Arnold - Geoff Morrow - David Martin
Performer(s): Elvis Presley
Don't be afraid, you and I were made the same little one
And I know what it's like when you feel left out of the game little one
But if you take this helping hand that I lend
Then we can smile together, let's be friends
The world that you see may seem to be a mystery to you
The night may be dark but hope very hard and dreams can come true
You live in silence but for once let's pretend
We're talking here together, let's be friends
You're not alone, I've always known that we'd get along
And someone I know says life is good and He can't be wrong
There's fun and laughter just waiting round the bend
Let's find them now together, let's be friends
Let's find them now together, let's be friends

Are you feelin' good, Jerry?

If you're on the town
If you're on your own

And sick of being alone
Do you ever spend your evenings with the blues?
'Cause if you do my friend
We're both in the same shoes

L'étrangère (Yves Montand)
L'étrangère
Composer(s): Louis Aragon - Léo Ferré
Performer(s): Yves Montand
Il existe près des écluses un bas quartier de bohémiens
Dont la belle jeunesse s'use à démêler le tien du mien
En bande on s'y rend en voiture
ordinairement au mos d'août
Ils disent la bonne aventure, pour des piments et du vin doux
on passe la nuit claire à boire, on danse en frappant dans ses mains
on n'a pas le temps de le croire, il fait grand jour et c'est demain
On revient d'une seule traite, gais, sans un sou, vaguement gris
Avec des fleurs plein les charrettes, son destin dans la paume écrit
J'ai pris la main d'une éphémère, qui m'a suivi dans ma maison
Elle avait des yeux d'outremer, elle en montrait la déraison
Elle avait la marche légère, et de longues jambes de faon
J'aimais déjà les étrangères quand j'étais un petit enfant!
Celle-ci parla vite vite de l'odeur des magnolias
Sa robe tomba tout de suite quand ma hâte la délia
En ce temps là, j'étais crédule, un mot m'était promission
Et je prenais les campanules pour des fleurs de la passion..
Quand c'est fini tout recommence, toute musique me séduit
Et la plus banale romance m'est éternelle poésie..
Nous avons joué de notre âme, un long jour, une courte nuit
Puis au matin: "bonsoir madame", l'amour s'achève avec la pluie

I think about the good times I once have had
Soul got happy now, my heart got glad
I think about the way you love me too
You can bet your life, I'm comin' home to you
I'm goin' home
I'm gonna bring it on home, now
I'm gonna bring it on home, now
I'm gonna bring it on home, now
Gonna bring it on home

Performer(s): Melina Mercouri
Le rire des bourreaux est noir

Sous le nez du serpent volé
Moi l'étrangère universelle oh oh oh oh
Je porte le deuil de mon ciel
Moi l'étrangère universelle oh oh oh oh

Bring Him Home
Composer(s): Herbert Kretzmer; Claude-Michel Schönberg
Performer(s): Dennis De Young
God on High, hear my prayer
In my need, you have always been there
He is young, he’s afraid, let him rest
Heaven blessed, bring Him Home
Bring Him Home, bring Him Home
He’s like the son I might have known
If God had granted me son
The summers die one by one
How soon they fly on and on
And I am old and will be gone
Bring him peace, bring him joy
He is young, he is only a boy
You can take, you can give
Let him be, please let him live
For if I die, let me die
Please let him live, bring Him Home
Bring Him Home ...
Bring Him Home ...

Letra De Piel
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Para que no se me olvide la letra
voy a anotarla en tu piel
Sé que jamás perderé esa libreta
Sé que la conservaré
Leo despacio: no eres común
Luego será más lento aún
Una palabra, otra después
hasta que aprenda lo que no sé
Para que no se me olvide la letra
voy a anotarla en tu piel
Sé que jamás perderé esa libreta
Sé que la conservaré
y que la consultaré

L'eterno Movimento
L'eterno Movimento
Performer(s): Anna Oxa
Camminavo sola tra i rumori della gente
nel cielo di mattina mi perdevo nella mente
ed i suoi movimenti
tra i miei ripensamenti
I dubbi, le incertezze, le inevitabili sconfitte
i sogni e le speranze che non trovano risposte
la vita è una ricerca
e non è mai la stessa
ed osservavo le espressioni e i gesti di un bambino
e una ragazza triste oggi lui non è vicino
la volontà di un vecchio che continua il suo cammino
e sento che, mi accorgo che, che
L'amore non si ferma mai perché lui muove il mondo
è un'onda inarrestabile, dentro di noi
la sola possibilità, l'eterno movimento
è la risposta che non c'è
l'amore... l'amore...
Vive dentro noi
Ascolto la città, ne respiro l'energia
il traffico, i negozi e la sottile frenesia
del suo continuo andare
nel lento divenire
e all'improvviso lui l'amore sfiora l'anima
ed io mi sento viva ora sono libera
e sono qui tra la gente che ama come me
e sento che, mi accorgo che, che
L'amore non si ferma mai, perché lui muove il mondo
Un'onda inarrestabile, dentro di noi
la sola possibilità, l'eterno movimento
è la risposta che non c'è
l'amore... l'amore...
Vive dentro di noi
L'amore non si ferma mai, l'eterno movimento
è la risposta che non c'è
l'amore... l'amore...
Vive dentro di noi

Bring 'Em Down
Bring 'Em Down
Composer(s): Trevor Lucas
Performer(s): Fairport Convention
Time stood dark and silent and the stars they gave no light
I wandered in an endless dream, haunted by the night
I saw four ghostly riders, the horses in a line
Each in turn did point at me and say 'I'm on full rein'
We are the sculptors of the land, the rulers of the sea
We are the falcons of your sins, gardeners of the trees
The air about you is burning and the sea below does drown
And the legacy you leave your spawn will surely bring 'em down
Bring 'em down, bring 'em down, bring 'em down
Bring 'em down, bring 'em down, bring 'em down
A curse upon you men of war, with gun or pen in hand
The power sought, or won or bought, the castles made of sand
You always have good reason to take more than you need
Your hearts are full of paper and your minds are full of greed
Bring 'em down, bring 'em down, bring 'em down
Bring 'em down, bring 'em down, bring 'em down
What is deeper than the ocean, colder than the grave
Stronger than your armies all and braver than the brave?
Those who know and knowing, O, will sow on fertile ground
Those who don't and never would are those you will go down
Bring 'em down, bring 'em down, bring 'em down
Bring 'em down, bring 'em down, bring 'em down
