Listen To My Song
Listen To My Song
Composer(s): Dick Miles
Performer(s): Del Reeves
Alright gang, I've wrote this smash hit
Ha, ha, ha, it's not so funny
Let's all sing together, it's got to be pretty, let's go
Listen to my song, well, listen to my song
(Tell me if you'd like it play, I'll change it if it's wrong
Listen to my music, George, see if it's alright
If it's not what you've had in mind, I'll write you one tonight)
Well, I wrote a little song a few months ago
My friends all said that thing oughta go
So I packed my bags and I hit for Nashville town
Well, I wanted to get me a big star to do it
So I made me a list with a few names through it
And I started out to see if Eddy Arnold was in town
Well, I come in a home way back in the den
I can tell he was glad when I walked in
'Cause he broken the singin', 'Make The World Go Away'
He finally listen the part of my song
And then with a drawl of two, two miles long
He said see Ernest Tubb, ha, ha, he lives just across the way
Listen to my song
Well, I'd see ol' Ern, he was walking the floor
'Cause just as records were sellin' lower
But he put me on a take and listened to every word
He said, I've been singin' since I was a kid
And nothin' sounds like that song did
Ah, throw him out Billy Byrd
Well, I quit myself, got back on my feet
I saw Johnny Cash up in down the street
And I asked him if he can use a hit or two
He said, I made mon' on a Ring Of Fire
Size Luther King, playin' on his guitar
So I don't care of the doo-di-dood-di
I called Bill Anderson and he was at home
But he said my mama sang a song
I'm sorry but I hope that you understand
I saw Ralph Emery and I talked to him
Along ol' Tex Ritter and WSM
But they was too busy shakin' one another's hands
Folly I decided that the only way
A stranger in Nashville can make a little hay
Is just to turn a record himself with that Nashville sound
So I borrowed me some money and that's what I did
Everybody tells me, I've got a hit
At least it's bubblin' under about one hundred, ha, ha
And follows Alabama at the bus station
Listen to my song

Hi ..hi ..hi
Madiana, petit bijou des îles
Madiana aux lèvres de corail
Ta bouche est une fleur fragile
De chair palpitante et d’émail
Madiana, ton nom que je murmure
Sur le ciel de ton pays charmeur
Est comme un chant dans la ramure
Berçant tes rêves enchanteurs
C’est l’heure où la fougère endort
Et comme tu seras mon appel
Où là tu verras ça ??…. tout blanc
Griser tous les amants ??… la paix
C’est l’heure où tout est divin ?? car
Je veux te redire et chanter
Ma petite tempête
Madiana, Madiana

Ta bouche est une fleur fragile
De chair palpitante et d’émail
Madiana, ton nom que je murmure
Sur tout le ciel de ton pays charmeur
Est comme un chant dans la ramure
Berçant mes rêves enchanteurs

Madge
Madge
Composer(s): Stephen Bishop
Performer(s): Stephen Bishop
It was 1927
Had the world at my feet
A pretty girl on each arm
My family was so proud of me
I built a lot of buildings
Tore half of 'em down
One by one
They all crumbled just like me
But like a storm in a teacup
Like a smile sent down from heaven
Madge, I loved you then
And I love you now
We ate in the finest restaurants
Had the wealthiest friends
Most of them are gone now
No one left to say, "I knew you when"
It seems so long since I've remembered
The girl I used to know
She never saw any of my money
But she watched it come and go
Like a storm in a teacup
Like a smile sent down from heaven
Madge I loved you then
And I love you now
They call this place "Sunnyside"
But I ain't seen the sun in a long, long time
And my hands don't seem too steady now
But they're still holding onto you
Madge, she's probably married now
In a nice white house
And me I just sit here in my room
Quiet as a mouse
But I got my TV turned up loud
I'm not going to hear myself retreat
If only I'd have kept her
I'd have stayed on my feet
Like a storm in a teacup
Like a smile sent down from heaven
Madge I loved you then
And I love you now...

Mademoiselle, Attendez
Mademoiselle, Attendez
Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Mademoiselle, attendez
Vous emportez mon cœur
Dans votre sac à main
Et si vous le gardez
Vous ferez son bonheur
Et plus encore le mien
Est-ce l'amour, est-ce l'été
Qui se promène à vos côtés
Un sourire ingénu,
Noyé dans la cohue d'un aéroport
Ou d'une gare de banlieue
Qui devienne en ces lieux mon île au trésor
Le parfum étrange
D'un démon ou d'un ange
Me fait tourner la tête
Et le ciel s'entrouvre
Soudain, je me découvre
Une âme de poète
Elle est si belle, que je chancelle
Mademoiselle, attendez
Vous emportez mon cœur
Dans votre sac à main
Et si vous le gardez
Vous ferez son bonheur
Et plus encore le mien
Est-ce l'amour, est-ce l'été
Qui se promène à vos côtés
Boulevard Saint Germain,
Je la retrouve enfin
Ou du moins, elle lui ressemble
Ces cheveux sont plus blonds
Peut-être un peu plus longs
Mais c'est une question d'angle
Elle s'attarde, elle me regarde
Mademoiselle, attendez
Vous emportez mon cœur
Dans votre sac à main
Qui bondit hors du sac à main
Qui ça? Un gros mari herculéen
Ma, ma, mademoiselle, attendez
J'avais cru voir mon cœur
Dans votre sac à main
Mademoiselle, excusez
Ce n'était qu'une erreur

Why Shouldn't I?
Why Shouldn't I?
Composer(s): Cole Porter
First performance/First recording by: Margaret Adams - 1935/Johnny Green & His Orch. - 1935
Covered by multiple other artists
Why shouldn't I
Take a chance when romance passes by?
Why shouldn't I know of love?
Why wait around
When each age has a sage who has found
That upon this earth
Love is all that is really worth thinking of!
It must be fun
To be sure when day is done
That the hour is coming when
You'll be kissed, and then
You'll be kissed again!
All debutantes say it's good
And every star out in far Hollywood
Seems to give it a try
So why shouldn't I?
All debutantes say it's good
And every star out in far Hollywood
Seems to give it a try
So why shouldn't I?

Oh, mademoiselle Lise, vous m'avez toujours intimidé
Oh, mademoiselle Lise, mais ce soir je suis décidé
On va danser

On pourrait devenir amis, et et pourquoi pas?
C'est vrai, vous êtes bien jolie, je suis pas formidable
Mais il fait chaud et il fait nuit, et la la la
Oh, mademoiselle Lise, vous prendrez bien un peu de mousseux
Oh, mademoiselle Lise, ça pique et ça rend amoureux

Si jamais vos souliers de soie s'écorchent à mes godasses
Z'aviez qu'à mett' des sabots de bois, et et pourquoi pas?
La vraie démocratie, c'est ça, faut avoir de l'audace
Y' a plus de valets, y' a plus de bourgeois et la la la
Oh mademoiselle Lise, vous pouvez avoir confiance en moi
Oh mademoiselle Lise, moi quand je danse, je n'pense qu'à ça
On va danser

Si vot' papa, si vot' maman nous surprenaient ensemble
Sûr qu'ils ne seraient pas contents, contents
Savez-vous pourquoi?
C'est que quand il y a de beaux jeunes gens qui s'amusent ensemble
C'est pas que pour l'amicalement, c'est la la la
Oh mademoiselle Lise, si je ne me retenais pas
Oh mademoiselle Lise, chiche que j' vous montre un nouveau pas
On va danser
On va danser
C'est chic de m'avoir invité à votre mariage
J'en aurai drôlement profité
Savez-vous pourquoi?
C'est que c'est moi le petit futé qu'a tiré sous la table
Votre jarretière de la mariée, et la la la
Oh mademoiselle Lise, allez, bonsoir et bonne nuit
Oh mademoiselle Lise, mes compliments à votre mari
On va danser

On your sugar coated lips!
Who's gonna get you
Some Sunday go meetin'?
Whose little heart leaps
And wants you for keeps?
Whose honey are you?

Who gets your affection?
Who makes the dates
And kisses, and rates
The lovin' you do?
Whose honey are you?
Who makes the selection?
Whose beautiful schemes
And honeymoon dreams
Are gonna come true?
Please tell me
Have you really made your mind up
Who it's gonna be?
Don't you think, before we wind up
We're terrific, you and me!
Whose honey are you?
Whose dream of perfection?
Who's gonna raise fame
And let me explain?
Whose honey are you?

Al mercato un di'

Fra divise blu

ho visto te
villaggio bianco intorno a me
Sai cos'e' l'isola di Wight
e' per noi l'isola di chi
ha negli occhi il blu
della gioventù
di chi ama hippy hippy hippy
hippy hippy

Senza una valigia io e te
siamo partiti un giovedì
nei nostri occhi c'era un sì
Pioggia di farfalle intorno a noi
mi davi la tua gioventù
nessuno mi ha fermato più
Sai cos'e' l'isola di Wight
e' per noi l'isola di chi
ha negli occhi il blu

Mademoiselle De Paris (German Version)
Mademoiselle De Paris
English Title: Mademoiselle De Paree
Performer(s): Zarah Leander
Man nennt sie Mad'moisell' de Paris
und ihr Leben ist meist sehr bescheiden
Ihre Welt ist die rue d'Rivoli
ihr Metier ist es, andre zu kleiden
Ist sie auch arm, hat sie doch Charme
und sie versteht, worauf es ankommt
Ja sie hat Chic, alles zu tragen
selbst ihren Schmerz mit frohem Blick
Refrain:
Sie singt leis für sich selber nur
Sie träumt von einem Liebesschwur
Sie weint, warum, ja das weiß nur sie
Mad'moisell' de Paris
Einmal jährlich auf jeden Fall
möchte sie gerne zum Opernball
als Marquise mit einem Marquis
Mad'moisell' de Paris
Jedes Jahr schon im März
stickt sie sich
an den Mantel ein Herz
Mit dem Herz eines Kind's jener Stadt
geht es so wie mit einem Strauß Veilchen
Merkt man, daß man verloren ihn hat
ist man traurig, doch das nur ein Weilchen
Samstag beim Tanz, ja da begann's
und Sonntag war's, als man sich trennte
Doch von dem Glück blieb für sechs Tage
mehr nicht als nur ein Lied zurück
Refrain:
Sie singt's leis für sich selber nur
Sie träumt von jenem Liebesschwur
Sie weint, warum verrät sie dir nie
Mad'moisell' de Paris
Einsam auf einer Bank im Park
liest sie die histoir' der Jeanne d'arc
schaut kokett zu der Bank vis-à-vis
Mad'moisell' de Paris
Ein Wort hin
eins retour
von den Tränen blieb nicht eine Spur
Sie singt, und ihr Herz ist so frei
Sie träumt wohl von so mancherlei
Sie weint, denn so voll Glück war sie nie
Mad'moisell' de Paris
Leichthin durch die Champs élysées
geht sie und schaut keck in die Höh'
Für die Spatzen in den Tuilerien
gibt sie ihr Frühstück hin
Und sie pfeift
froh wie sie
ja das ist Mad'moisell' de Paris

L'isola Che Non C'è
L'isola Che Non C'è
Composer(s): Edoardo Bennato
First release by: Edoardo Bennato - 1980
Seconda stella a destra
questo è il cammino
e poi dritto fino al mattino
poi la strada la trovi da te
porta all'isola che non c'è
Forse questo ti sembrerà un strano
ma la ragione ti ha un po' preso la mano
Ed ora sei quasi convinto che
non può esistere un'isola che non c'è
E a pensarci, che pazzia
è una favola, è solo fantasia
e chi è saggio, chi è maturo lo sa
non può esistere nella realtà!
Son d'accordo con voi
non esiste una terra
dove non ci son santi né eroi
e se non ci son ladri
e se non c'è mai la guerra
forse è proprio l'isola che non c'è
... che non c'è
E non è un'invenzione
e neanche un gioco di parole
se ci credi ti basta perché
poi la strada la trovi da te
Son d'accordo con voi
niente ladri e gendarmi
ma che razza di isola è?
Niente odio e violenza
né soldati, né armi
forse è proprio l'isola che non c'è
... che non c'è
Seconda stella a destra
questo è il cammino
e poi dritto fino al mattino
non ti puoi sbagliare perché
quella è l'isola che non c'è!
E ti prendono in giro
se continui a cercarla
ma non darti per vinto perché
chi ci ha già rinunciato
e ti ride alle spalle
forse è ancora più pazzo di te!

Mademoiselle De Paris (French Version)
Mademoiselle De Paris
English Title: Mademoiselle De Paree
Composer(s): Henri Contet; Paul Durand;
Eric Maschwitz; Mitchell Parish
Performer(s): Jacqueline François
On l'appelle Mademoiselle de Paris
Et sa vie c'est un petit peu la nôtre
Son royaume c'est la rue d'Rivoli
Son destin, c'est d'habiller les autres
On dit qu'elle est petite main
Et s'il est vrai qu'elle n'est pas grande
Que de bouquets et de guirlandes
A-t-elle semés sur nos chemins
Refrain:
Elle chante un air de son faubourg
Elle rêve à des serments d'amour
Elle pleure et plus souvent qu'à son tour
Mademoiselle de Paris
Elle donne tout le talent qu'elle a
Pour faire un bal à l'Opéra
Et file, à la porte des Lilas
Mademoiselle de Paris
Il fait beau
Et là-haut
Elle va coudre un coeur à son manteau
Mais le coeur d'une enfant de Paris
C'est pareil aux bouquets de violettes
On l'attache au corsage un sam'di
Le dimanche on le perd à la fête
Adieu guinguette, adieu garçon
La voilà seule avec sa peine
Et recommence la semaine
Et recommence la chanson
Refrain:
Elle chante un air de son faubourg
Elle rêve à des serments d'amour
Elle pleure et plus souvent qu'à son tour
Mademoiselle de Paris
Elle donne un peu de ses vingt ans
Pour faire une collection d'printemps
Et seule s'en va rêver sur un banc
Mademoiselle de Paris
Trois petits tours
Un bonjour
Elle oublie qu'elle a pleuré d'amour
Elle chante et son coeur est heureux
Elle rêve et son rêve est tout bleu
Elle pleure mais ça n'est pas bien sérieux
Mademoiselle de Paris
Elle vole à petits pas pressés
Elle court vers les Champs Elysées
Et donne un peu de son déjeuner
Aux moineaux des Tuileries
Elle fredonne
Elle sourit...
Et voilà Mademoiselle de Paris

Performer(s): Mitch Miller
and multiple other artists
I gave my heart to you in old Lisbon that night
Under the spell of your charms
I felt your arms hold me so tight
`Twas heaven to find such bliss in each kiss
I lost my heart but I found one so true
In old Lisbon with you
It happened one night in Portugal
Lisbon was gay in the moonlight
The stars were shining above
When I found you, my love
What is this strangeness, this splendor
All this myst'ry that makes me surrender?

Composer(s): Paul Durand; Henri Contet; Eric Maschwitz
Performer(s): Percy Faith
and various other artists
Oh la la, there's Mademoiselle de Paree
Light of heart, fancy free
She's the spirit of Spring in Paris
When you stroll down the Rue de la Paix
On a beautiful morning in May
It is heaven on earth, you'll agree
Just to meet Mademoiselle de Paree
She's got a style, famous in town
Even her smile goes with her gown
Bonjour Mademoiselle, bon appétit (*)
Comme tu es belle, that means you're sweet
She's so chic and adorable
No one think it deplorable
When men all turn around just to see
Mademoiselle de Paree
You bet girls get a kick from her
Learn each cute little trick from her
In their hearts they would all like to be
Mademoiselle de Paree
Light of heart, fancy free
She's the spirit of Spring in Paris
She has clothes with a zing to 'em
She's got curves and they cling to 'em
Sheer silk stockings and shoes number three
Mademoiselle de Paree
When she frowns there's disdain in it
But her smile has champagne in it
She breaks hearts and collects the débris
Mademoiselle de Paree
Oh, la la
Ah, oui oui
So you better look out in Paree
What a style and that smile
I walk a mile, just to see
Mademoiselle de Paree
She's the one girl for me
Mademoiselle de Paree
