Brussel (Liliane Saint-Pierre)


Brussel
Performer(s): Liliane Saint-Pierre



Brussel, Brussel
Zonder zonneschijn
Brussel, Brussel
Kan zo somber zijn

Brussel, Brussel
Lijkt oneindig grauw
Brussel, Brussel
Zonder hemelblauw

Nat en bedampt, de straten
Rond het Brouckèreplein
En iedereen die langs je gaat
Lijkt even bedroefd te zijn

Brussel, Brussel
Zonder zonneschijn
Brussel, Brussel
Kan zo somber zijn

Eenzaam rondom de Grote Markt (Brussel)
Zelfs ieder mens kijkt boos
De bassiliek van Koekelberg (Brussel)
Is donker en troosteloos

Maar dan opeens is daar de zon (Brussel)
De stad krijgt een andere kleur
De mensen, ze stralen weer (Brussel)
En hebben een goed humeur

Brussel, mmm Brussel
In de zonneschijn
Brussel, Brussel
Kan zo heerlijk zijn

Brussel, Brussel
In de zonneschijn
Brussel, Brussel
Kan zo heerlijk zijn

Brussel, mmm Brussel
In de zonneschijn
Brussel, Brussel
Kan zo heerlijk zijn

C'était Trop Beau


C'était Trop Beau
((Adapted from: Baby Don't Go (Sonny & Cher) - 1964))
Composer(s): Sonny Bono - Georges Aber
Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan - 1965



C'était trop beau
Ils vont se quitter bientôt

On doit fermer sa porte
Oublier le passé
Le temps des amours mortes un jour
Qui m'ont tant fait pleurer
Un seul regret
Cet amour-là, on y croyait

C'était trop beau
Ils vont se quitter bientôt
Sans un mot
Ils vont se quitter bientôt

On écrit sur le sable
Des beaux serments d'un jour
On les croyait capables
De s'aimer pour toujours
Que de regrets !
Ça vous fait mal rien que d'y penser

C'était trop beau
Ils vont se quitter bientôt
Sans un mot
Ils vont se quitter bientôt

Quand un amour s'achève
Un peu comme le mien
Plus la romance est brève
Moins on a de chagrin
Tant pis pour moi
Mais j'ai mal pour ces deux -là

C'était trop beau
Ils vont se quitter bientôt
Sans un mot
Ils vont se quitter bientôt

{x2:}
Sans un mot
Ils vont se quitter bientôt

Brussel (Liesbeth List)


Brussel
French Title: Bruxelles
Composer(s): E.v. Altena; G. Jouannest; Jacques Brel
Performer(s): Liesbeth List



Brussel was toen nog een bruisende stad
Brussel was toen oh la la en olijk
Brussel was toen nog een ruisende stad
Brussel en Brussel was vrij en vrolijk

Op de Brouckèreplaats was het gala en bal
Heren met strohoed en zware knevels
dames met sleepjurk en parasol
De paardentram schoof langs oude gevels
Op het rembak zaten twee mensen blij te praten
hij mijn opa zaliger, zij mijn oma zaliger
Hij was sergeant-majoortje, zij zat op een kantoortje
Hij dacht niet na, zij dacht aan niets
dus wie verwacht van mij nog iets?

Oh, Brussel was toen nog een zwierige stad
Brussel was toen oh la la en olijk
Brussel was toen nog een tierige stad
Brussel en Brussel was vrij en vrolijk

Op de kasseien rond de Sinte-Katelijn
dansten de sleepjurken en de knevels
Op de kasseien was ‘t een dansend festijn
De paardentram danste langs de gevels
En op het rembak zaten twee mensen blij te praten
hij mijn opa zaliger, zij mijn oma zaliger
Hij had haar ingenomen, zij had hem laten komen
‘t Was vrije keus van allebei
dus wie verwacht er ernst van mij?

Oh, Brussel was toen nog een dansende stad
Brussel was toen oh la la en olijk
Brussel was toen nog een chansende stad
Brussel en Brussel was vrij en vrolijk

In het gaslicht rondom de Sinte-Justine
zongen de sleepjurken en de knevels
In het gaslicht zong strohoed en crenoline
De paardentram knarste langs de gevels
En op het rembak zaten twee mensen blij te praten
hij mijn opa zaliger, zij mijn oma zaliger
Voor hem kwam de oorlog nader
bij haar kwam gauw mijn vader
Ze zongen als de nachtegaal
dus wie verwacht van mij moraal?

Brussel was toen nog een bruisende stad
Brussel was toen oh la la en olijk
Brussel was toen nog een ruisende stad
Brussel en Brussel was vrij en vrolijk, lijk

Lettre À Hélène


Lettre À Hélène
Performer(s): Dave



Cette lettre que je t'envoie
Dieu seul sait quand tu la recevras
au fin fond de l'hémisphère
où les saisons tournent à l'envers
Quelle idée, ma douce Hélène
de t'exiler aux iles des Kerguelen

Hélène, si je t'écris
aux Kerguelen, c'est parce qu'ici
sans le savoir, tu as laissé quelqu'un qui t'aime
Hélène
Hélène j'ai froid au cœur
de mon côté de l'équateur
aux antipodes, as-tu trouvé quelqu'un qui t'aime
Hélène

Moi et la géographie
on est devenus bons amis
et je passe des heures entières
tout seul devant le planisphère
Mais de ton île, je ne sais rien
sinon qu'elle est dans l'océan indien

Hélène, si mon appel
arrive jusqu'à ton archipel
par le premier courrier, donne-moi des nouvelles
Hélène, je t'aime
Hélène, ça rime à quoi
de vivre au sud pour avoir froid
et de passer l'été comme en hiver
Hélène, je t'aime

Hélène, si je t'écris
aux Kerguelen, c'est parce qu'ici
sans le savoir, tu as laissé quelqu'un qui t'aime
Hélène
Hélène, si mon appel
arrive jusqu'à ton archipel
par le premier courrier
donne-moi des nouvelles
Hélène, je t'aime

Hélène, si je t'écris
aux Kerguelen, c'est parce qu'ici
sans le savoir
tu as laissé quelqu'un qui t'aime, Hélène

Brush Up Your Shakespeare


Brush Up Your Shakespeare
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Harry Clark
and various other artists



The girls today in society go for classical poetry
So to win their hearts one must quote with ease
Aeschylus and Euripides
One must know Homer, and believe me, Beau
Sophocles, also Sappho-ho
Unless you know Shelley and Keats and Pope
Dainty Debbies will call you a dope

But the poet of them all
Who will start 'em simply ravin'
Is the poet people call
The Bard of Stratford on Avon

{Refrain}
Brush up your Shakespeare
Start quoting him now
Brush up your Shakespeare
And the women you will wow

Just declaim a few lines from Othella
And they'll think you're a hell of a fella
If your blonde won't respond when you flatter 'er
Tell her what Tony told Cleopatterer

If she fights when her clothes you are mussing
What are clothes? Much ado about nussing
Brush up your Shakespeare
And they'll all kow-tow

{Refrain}

With the wife of the British ambassida
Try a crack out of Troilus and Cressida
If she says she won't buy it or like it
Make her tike it, what's more As You Like It

If she says your behavior is heinous
Kick her right in the Coriolanus
Brush up your Shakespeare
And they'll all kow-tow

{Refrain}

If you can't be a ham and do Hamlet
They will not give a damn or a damlet
Just recite an occasional sonnet
And your lap'll have honey upon it

When your baby is pleading for pleasure
Let her sample your Measure for Measure
Brush up your Shakespeare
And they'll all kow-tow - Forsooth
And they'll all kow-tow
And they'll all kow-tow

{Refrain}

Better mention "The Merchant Of Venice"
When her sweet pound o' flesh you would menace
If her virtue, at first, she defends---well
Just remind her that "All's Well That Ends Well"

And if still she won't give you a bonus
You know what Venus got from Adonis
Brush up your Shakespeare
And they'll all kow-tow - Thinkst thou?
And they'll all kow-tow - Odds bodkins
And they'll all kow-tow

{Refrain}

If your goil is a Washington Heights dream
Treat the kid to "A Midsummer Night's Dream"
If she then wants an all-by-herself night
Let her rest ev'ry 'leventh or "Twelfth Night"

If because of your heat she gets huffy
Simply play on and "Lay on, Macduffy!"
Brush up your Shakespeare
And they'll all kow-tow - Forsooth
And they'll all kow-tow - Thinkst thou?
And they'll all kow-tow - We trou'
And they'll all kow-tow

Letting In The Sunshine


Letting In The Sunshine
Composer(s): Noel Gay
Performer(s): Sam Browne; Scott Wood



I'm letting in the sunshine
It's shining everywhere
I'm letting in the sunshine
For both of us to share

I'm opening the windows
For summer's in the air
I'm letting in the sunshine
For both of us to share

Can't you see that all the dull days and grey skies are over
Can't you see that we'll be living from now on in clover

While lovely little sunbeams
Are dancing everywhere
I'm letting in the sunshine
For both of us to share

Bruit De Fond
Composer(s): Françoise Hardy
Performer(s): Françoise Hardy



Il me parle des autres
Je lui parle de lui
Il me parle d'ailleurs
Je lui parle d'ici
Et je parle et je parle
Mais lorsque vient son tour
Ou bien il ne dit rien
Ou répond à côté
Et il est mon mur de pierre
Et je suis son bruit de fond
Comme je sais très mal
Ce qui lui fait du bien
Souvent je suis en train
De lui faire du mal
Je veux le retenir
Il est déjà parti
Il veut me faire plaisir
Et empire les choses
Et il est mon mur de pierre
Et je suis son bruit de fond

Letting Go


Letting Go
Composer(s): Doug Crider - Matt Rollings
Performer(s): Suzy Bogguss



She'll take the painting in the hallway
The one she did in junior high
And that old lamp up in the attic
She'll need some light to study by

She's had 18 years to get ready for this day
She should be past the tears, she cries some anyway

Oh oh letting go
There's nothing in the way now,
Oh letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting
It's never easy letting go

Mother sits down at the table
So many things she'd like to do
Spend more time out in the garden
Now she can get those books read too

She's had 18 years to get ready for this day
She should be past the tears, she cries some anyway

Oh oh letting go
There's nothing in the way now
Oh letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting
It's never easy letting go

Oh oh letting go
There's nothing in the way now
Oh letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting
It's never easy letting go

Browning


Browning
Composer(s): Raymond Asso; Jean Villard
Performer(s): Edith Piaf



Y avait qu'à r'garder sa figure
Et tout de suite on comprenait
Monsieur Browning, qu'on l'appelait
Un nom qui sentait l'aventure
C'était le roi du revolver
Il en avait de magnifiques
Qu'il avait ram'nés d'Amérique
Où qu'on fabriqu' les vrais gangsters
Il nous racontait son histoire
Son premier crim' et puis la gloire
Browning, Browning
Il nous montrait des tas d'photos
Pris's en premièr' pag' des journaux
Browning, Browning
Il nous disait: "Vous autr's en France
Vous manquez encor' d'expérience"
Browning, Browning
Avec ça, pas besoin d'êtr' fort
C'est l'maladroit qu'a toujours tort
Et viv' Browning

Parc' qu'il avait de l'élégance
Et des costum's de cinéma
Il nous r'gardait de haut en bas
Avec mépris et insolence
Et tout's nos femm's, ell's l'admiraient
"Ah! comment c'est qu'il a d'allure
Et ce typ' là, quelle envergure"
Mais nous, les homm's, il nous courait
C'était toujours la mêm' histoire
Son premier crim' et puis la gloire
Browning, Browning
On l'voyait sur les grands journaux
Juste à côté d'Greta Garbo
Browning, Browning
A l'écouter, on d'venait bête
On n'avait plus qu'ça dans la tête
Browning, Browning
Et nous pensions "Marre à la fin!
Il nous ennuie, l'Américain
Et son Browning"

Pour nous apprendr' la vraie manière
Pour nous donner un' bonn' leçon
Il a tenu, ce brav' garçon
A nous montrer son savoir-faire
C'est dans un' sall' de restaurant
Qu'il a voulu fair' l'expérience
Mais le pauvr' typ' n'a pas eu d'chance
Comme il sortait ses instruments
Il a roulé sous la banquette
Avec un p'tit trou dans la tête
Browning, Browning
Oh ça n'a pas claqué bien fort
Mais tout de mêm', il en est mort
Browning, Browning
Et puis quelqu'un dans le silence
A dit "Maint'nant à quoi qu'tu penses
Browning, Browning?"
Il pens' plus rien puisqu'il est mort
Tu parlais trop... ben t'as eu tort
Bye-Bye, Browning

Letters Have No Arms
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb - Arbie Gibson
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
and multiple other artists



I just got your letter dearest sweetheart
And darlin’, I miss you, oh, so much
Your letter has cheered me but I’m lonesome
Lonesome just to feel you lovin’ touch

Letters have no arms to hold me
Kiss on paper are so cold
These sweet things that you write in your letters
I want to be with you dear when told

Letters never bring me the touch of your hand
Or none of your sweet lovin’ charms
I get so lonesome for you darlin’
And you know that Letters Have No Arms

Letters have no arms to hold me
Kiss on paper are so cold
These sweet things that you write in your letters
I want to be with you dear when told

Letters never bring me the touch of your hand
Or none of your sweet lovin’ charms
I get so lonesome for you darlin’
And you know that Letters Have No Arms

Brown Eyed Handsome Man


Brown Eyed Handsome Man
Composer(s): Chuck Berry
Originally performed by: Chuck Berry
Covered by various other artists



Arrested on charges of unemployment
he was sitting in the witness stand
The judge's wife called up the district attorney
Said you free that brown eyed man
You want your job you better free that brown eyed man

Flying across the desert in a TWA
I saw a woman walking across the sand
She been a-walkin' thirty miles en route to Bombay
To get a brown eyed handsome man
Her destination was a brown eyed handsome man

Way back in history three thousand years
Back every since the world began
There's been a whole lot of good women shed a tear
For a brown eyed handsome man
That's what the trouble was brown eyed handsome man

Beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind
Between a doctor and a lawyer man
Her mother told her daughter go out and find yourself
A brown eyed handsome man
That's what your daddy is a brown eyed handsome man

Milo Venus was a beautiful lass
She had the world in the palm of her hand
But she lost both her arms in a wrestling match
To get brown eyed handsome man
She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man

Two, three count with nobody on
He hit a high fly into the stand
Rounding third he was headed for home
It was a brown eyed handsome man
That won the game; it was a brown eyed handsome man

Letter B
Composer(s): Christopher Cerf
Performer(s): The Sesame Street Beetles



When I find I can't remember
What comes after
"A" and before "C"
My mother always whispers
"Letter B"

She told me "B" starts
"Big" and "bird" and
"Ball" and "bat" and "battery"
Yes, buh-buh-buh-buh-buh means
Letter B

Letter B, letter B, letter B, letter B
She whispers "Buh-buh-buh means Letter B"

And when I feel downhearted
Mother whispers
"B" words constantly
Like "bib," "Bob," "Bulb," and "bubble"
Letter B

Now in my hour of darkness
There's a sound I know will comfort me
It's the buh-buh-buh-buh-buh of
Letter B

Letter B, letter B, letter B, letter B
My mother whispers "B" words
Letter B

Letter B, letter B, letter B, letter B
My mother whispers "B" words
Letter B

Letter B, letter B, letter B, letter B
Bless the "buh-buh" sound of
Letter B

Everything to keep me from sleeping
A lot of sailor boys they were leaving
And everybody there was jumping
To hear the sailor boys in Alcora singing

I'm going away in a sailing boat
And if I don't come back
Stay home and mind baby

We thought it was a help to the island
Until they left from here on vacation
They left the native boy here to mind their children

Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby ....

Now I tell you the story bout Millie
She made a nice blue eyed baby
And they say she fancy the mother
But the blue eyed baby ain't know she father

Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby ....

Now the Americans all have their pleasure
While the music play to their leisure
Everybody there they were jumping
To hear the sailor boys in Alcora singing

Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby
Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby
I'm going away in a sailing boat
And if I don't get back
Stay home and mind baby

Brown Eyed Girl
Composer(s): Van Morrison
Originally performed by: Van Morrison
Covered by various other artists



Hey, where did we go
Days when the rains came?
Down in the hollow
Playing a new game
Laughing and a-running, hey, hey
Skipping and a-jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our, our hearts a-thumping
And you, my brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down to the old mine with a
Transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hide behind a rainbow's wall
Slipping and a-sliding
All along the waterfall
With you, my brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl

Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Just like that
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
La dee dah

So hard to find my way
Now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown!
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometime I'm overcome thinking about
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium
With you, my brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl

Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Laying in the green grass
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah dee
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la

of i-j lang bunt of kort, 't is een mooie sport
wi-j doet 't samen
