Mais La Mer Est Toujours Bleue


Mais La Mer Est Toujours Bleue
Performer(s): Joe Dassin



Sur la plage ...... beaucoup passionnément
J'ai un peu perdu le goût de l'ocean

Mais la mer est toujours bleue
Comme si c'était un jeu
Comme si l'amour durait toujours

Sur le sable abandonné tu ne viens plus
Tous les oiseaux de l'été se sont perdus

Mais la mer est toujours bleue
Comme si c'était un jeu
Comme si l'amour durait toujours

On a fermé ce matin tous les hôtels
Les jardins, le casino et le soleil

Mais la mer est touours bleue
Comme si c'était un jeu
Comme si l'amour durait toujours

Little Does She Know


Little Does She Know
Composer(s): Chad Stuart - Russell Alquist
Performer(s): Chad & Jeremy



Little does she know how much I love her
Little does she care when I'm walking by
Little does she know, but I'm gonna show her
I could be the apple of her eye

Little does she see when I've been crying
And the many times that I've passed her door
Little does she know , but I'll keep on trying
To make her see it's me she's looking for

And ev'rywhere that she goes you can be sure that I
Am gonna be there too
That girl has gotta see how much she means to me
And that my love is true

Little does she hear the things I'm saying
I tell all my friends that she's oh so fine
Little does she know, but I'll go on praying
Some day soon I'm gonna make her mine

Mais Il Y A L'accordéon


Mais Il Y A L'accordéon
((German & Spanish Versions: Doch Einer Spielt Akkordeon (Dalida); Al Escuchar Mi Acordeón (Dalida))
Composer(s): Johnny Rech
Performer(s): Dalida



Je sais que le monde est une question
Je sais que la guerre est une invention
Et que la terre roule comme un ballon
Sous des hommes au cœur pleins d'ambitions

Je sais que le monde est fait de fiction
Je sais que le ciel c'est de l'horizon
Qu'il soit rose ou bleu comme nos illusions
Je vois que la terre est rouge de passion

Mais il y a l 'accordéon
Et c'est si bon l'accordéon
Quand il est là l'accordéon ça sent la France et c'est si bon
Mais il y a l'accordéon
Et c'est si bon l'accordéon
Quand il est là l 'accordéon ça sent la France

L'amour je sais a d'étranges chemins
Les cris du cœur ont aussi leurs chagrins
Et que tourne, tourne la roue du destin
Le bonheur semble toujours pour demain

Mais il y a l'accordéon
Et c'est si bon l'accordéon
Quand il est là l'accordéon ça sent la France et c'est si bon
Mais il y a l 'accordéon
Et c 'est si bon l'accordéon
Quand il est là l'accordéon ça sent la France

Un vieux bistrot et une odeur de frites
Un verre de vin venez je vous invite
A oublier et à prendre la fuite
De vos ennuis de leurs peines et leurs suites

Et il y aura l'accordéon
Et c'est si bon l'accordéon
Quand il est là l'accordéon ça sent la France et c'est si bon
Et il y aura l'accordéon
Et c 'est si bon l'accordéon
Quand il est là l'accordéon ça sent la France

Little Diane


Little Diane
Composer(s): Dion DiMucci
Performer(s): Dion & The Belmonts



Diane...Down deep inside I cry
Diane...Without your love I'd die
Diane...You know you drive me wild .... Diane
You're such a little evil child ya ya ya

Ya, I wanta pack and leave and slap your face
Bad girls like you are a disgrace
A way down deep inside I cry
Without you little Diane I'd die

I should drag you down 'cause you're no good
You're two-faced, your heart's made of wood
A way down deep inside I cry
Without you little Diane I'd die

Listen to my heart
Oh you're tearin' it apart
Oh why don't you understand
Why don't you stop it! stop it!
Stop it if you can

I wanna spread the news that you're untrue
But Diane what good would it do
'Cause way down deep inside I cry
Without you little Diane I'd die, I'd die

Ya! Don't you understand Diane

I said ya, ya, ya

I said listen to the beat
Oh I feel it in my feet
Now it's my heart Diane
Why don't you stop it! stop it!
Stop it if you can

I wanna spread the news that you're untrue
But Diane what good would it do
'Cause way down deep inside I cry
Without you little Diane I'd die, I'd die

Oh yeah

Mais C'était Hier


Mais C'était Hier
((English Version: Then (Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour; Waldir Calmon



Hier nous étions deux
Le temps était clair, le monde était beau
Nous étions heureux
Y'avait des printemps même en plein hiver
Au fond de tes yeux
Au creux de ton lit, le ciel était bleu
Hier c'était l'espoir
Y'avait du vin blanc qui coulait à flot
Sur tous les comptoirs
Y'avait des amis aussi fous que nous
Qui venaient nous voir
Pour partager tout, le pain blanc ou noir
Mais c'était hier
Je me rappelle
C'était hier
Tu étais belle
Et moi j'étais jeune, peut-être un peu sot
Je me croyais beau
Hier étais à nous
On dormait le jour on chantait la nuit
Et riait de tout
Plantant dans la vie nos griffes de chat
Et nos dents de loup
Le temps était pur, le temps était doux
Le temps s'est couvert
Je plisse les yeux quand luit le soleil
Et j'ai froid l'hiver
Je bois un peu moins, je parle un peu plus
Sans en avoir l'air
Et lorsque je dors, je rêve de toi
En rêvant de toi
Je rêve d'hier

Hey little devil you're always runnin' around

You're an old heart breaker and a mischief maker
But I'm wise to your name

Mairzy Doats


Mairzy Doats
Composer(s): Milton Drake; Al Hoffman; Jerry Livingston
Performer(s): Pied Pipers & Jo Stafford
and various other artists



I know a ditty, nutty as a fruitcake
Goofy as a goon and silly as a loon
Some call it pretty, others call it crazy
But they all sing this tune

Mairzy doats And dozy doats
And liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?

Yes! Mairzy doats And Dozy Doats
And liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?

If the words sound queer and funny to your ear
A little bit jumbled and jivey
Sing "Mares eat oats and does eat oats
And little lambs eat ivy"

Oh! mairzy doats and dozy doats
And liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you - oo?
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?

Little Deuce Coupe


Little Deuce Coupe
((French Version: Tu N'as Pas Le Temps (by Les Lionceaux) - 1963))
Composer(s): Brian Wilson Roger Christian
First release by: The Beach Boys - 1963
Covered by multiple other artists



Little deuce Coupe
You don't know what I got
Little deuce Coupe
You don't know what I got

Well I'm not braggin', babe, so don't put me down
But I've got the fastest set of wheels in town
When something comes up to me, he don't even try
'Cause if it had a set of wings, man, I know she could fly

She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(My little deuce coupe)
(You don't know what I got)

Just a little deuce coupe with a flat head mill
But she'll walk a Thunderbird like it's standin' still
She's ported and relieved and she's stroked and bored
She'll do a hundred and forty at the top end floored

She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(My little deuce coupe)
(You don't know what I got)

She's got a competition clutch with four on the floor
And she purrs like a kitten till the lake pipes roar
And if that ain't enough to make you flip your lid
There's one more thing, I got the pink slip, daddy

And comin' off the line when the light turns green
Well she blows 'em out the water like you've never seen
I get pushed out of shape and it's hard to steer
When I get rubber in all four gears

She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(My little deuce coupe)
(You don't know what I got)
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(My little deuce coupe)
(You don't know what I got)
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(My little deuce coupe)
(You don't know what I got)

Maire My Girl


Maire My Girl
Composer(s): John Keegan Casey; George Aitken
Performer(s): John McCormack
and various other artists



Over the dim blue hills
Strays a wild river
Over the dim blue hills
Rests my heart ever
Dearer and brighter than
Jewels and pearl
Dwells she in beauty there
Maire my girl

Down upon Claris heath
Shines the soft berry
On the brown harvest tree
Droops the red cherry
Sweeter thy honey lips
Softer the curl
Straying adown thy cheeks
Maire my girl

'Twas on an April eve
That I first met her
Many an eve shall pass
Ere I forget her
Since my young heart has been
Wrapped in a whirl
Thinking and dreaming of
Maire my girl

She is too kind and fond
Ever to grieve me
She has too pure a heart
E'er to deceive me
Was I Tyrconnell's chief
Or Desmond's earl
Life would be dark, wanting
Maire my girl

Over the dim blue hills
Strays a wild river
Over the dim blue hills
Rests my heart ever
Dearer and brighter than
Jewels or pearl
Dwells she in beauty there
Maire my girl

Play, Little David


Play, Little David
Performer(s): Joni Mitchell



Play, little David
Play little David, play

David he would sit in some dark corner
Seemed to melt the shadows with his eyes
And the song that he was playing
Was nothing less than praying
And nothing more than saying I'm alive
Won't you play, little David
Play little David, play

David he would send them notes a-flying
Some that laughed and some that felt like tears
He would play them fast or slowly
Play them high or lowly
But they always come out holy to my ear
Won't you play, little David, play little David, play

I don't need no Sunday sermon
Need no Sunday shoes
When I hear little David playing
I got religion through and through

David he would send them notes a-flying
Some that laughed and some that felt like tears
He would play them fast or slowly
Play them high or lowly
But they always come out holy to my ear
Won't you play, little David, play little David, play

I don't need no Sunday sermon
Need no Sunday shoes
When I hear little David playing
I got religion through and through

David he would send them notes a-flying
Some that laughed and some that felt like tears
He would play them fast or slowly
Play them high or lowly
But they always come out holy to my ear

Won't you play, little David, play little David, play
Won't you play, little David, play little David, play

Maintenant Ou Jamais (Salvatore Adamo)


Maintenant Ou Jamais
Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo



Être ami, s'aimer bien, tu parles d'une aventure
Hier encore, tu te souviens, c'était de la passion pure
Quand le monde était trop petit, nous marchions dans le ciel
Avec toi dans ma vie, c'était toujours Noël

De l'amour à la guerre, on allait à cloche-pieds
Nous voici en enfer, qui a tiré le premier?
Mais avant le trou noir, avant l'indifférence
J'aurais voulu savoir s'il nous reste une chance

{Refrain:}
C'est maintenant ou jamais
C'est maintenant ou jamais
Y a pas de prochain arrêt
On se dit tout ou on se tait
C'est maintenant ou jamais
C'est maintenant ou jamais
Maintenant ou jamais
Juste un dernier essai
Avant les grands regrets
C'est maintenant ou jamais

Je te chasse de ma mémoire et tu pars en absence
Je me repeins des idées noires, je me réduis au silence
Ou alors tu redeviens ma lumière, mon miroir
On se ferait plus du bien, il suffirait de le vouloir

C'est maintenant ou jamais
C'est maintenant ou jamais
Y a pas de prochain arrêt
On se dit tout ou on se tait
C'est maintenant ou jamais
Juste un dernier essai
Avant les grands regrets
C'est maintenant ou jamais

Je reprends tous mes mots, je décrocherai plus la lune
Menteur en gros sabots, rimailleur de fortune
On repart à zéro, qu'est-ce qu'on risque après tout?
On reprend le scénario au premier rendez-vous

{au Refrain}
Juste un dernier essai
Avant de tirer un trait
Sur nous deux à jamais

Hold my hand

Maintenant Je Sais


Maintenant Je Sais
Composer(s): Jean-Loup Dabadie; Philip Green
Performer(s): Jean Gabin



Quand j'étais gosse, haut comme trois pommes
J'parlais bien fort pour être un homme
J'disais, Je Sais, Je Sais, Je Sais, Je Sais

C'était l'début, c'était l'printemps
Mais quand j'ai eu mes 18 ans
J'ai dit, Je Sais, ça y est, cette fois Je Sais

Et aujourd'hui, les jours où je m'retourne
J'regarde la terre où j'ai quand même fait les 100 pas
Et je n'sais toujours pas comment elle tourne!

Vers 25 ans, j'savais tout: l'amour, les roses, la vie, les sous
Tiens oui l'amour!
J'en avais fait tout le tour!

Et heureusement, comme les copains, j'avais pas mangé tout mon pain
Au milieu de ma vie, j'ai encore appris
C'que j'ai appris, ça tient en trois, quatre mots

"Le jour où quelqu'un vous aime, il fait très beau
j'peux pas mieux dire, il fait très beau!

C'est encore ce qui m'étonne dans la vie
Moi qui suis à l'automne de ma vie
On oublie tant de soirs de tristesse
Mais jamais un matin de tendresse!

Toute ma jeunesse, j'ai voulu dire Je Sais
Seulement, plus je cherchais, et puis moins j' savais

Il y a 60 coups qui ont sonné à l'horloge
Je suis encore à ma fenêtre, je regarde, et j'm'interroge?

Maintenant Je Sais, Je Sais Qu'on Ne Sait Jamais!

La vie, l'amour, l'argent, les amis et les roses
On ne sait jamais le bruit ni la couleur des choses
C'est tout c'que j'sais!
Mais ça, j'le Sais...!

Little Curly Hair In A High Chair


Little Curly Hair In A High Chair
Composer(s): Charles Tobias - Nat Simon
Performer(s): Fats Waller
and multiple other artists



Little curly hair in a high chair
What's your order for today?
Little curly hair in a high chair
I'll do anything you say
When you're near the room seems to brighten
The sun comes streaming through you're eyes
You're the reason they still keep writin'
All those tender lullabies
Hm__ There you go!
Bangin' with your blocks
Pullin' off your socks
Hm__ There you go!
Tryin' to make your toes
Touch your baby nose
Heaven's close to your chair and my chair
when you smile the way you do
Little curly hair in a high chair
My day begins and ends with you

Maintenant


Maintenant
Composer(s): Raymond Bravard; Jean Cazenave
Performer(s): Dalida



Maintenant que tes yeux ont l'audace
De me voir comme un rêve insolent
Maintenant que l'amour à sa place
Près de moi je t'aime plus qu'avant
Délaissant toutes les comédies
Sans pudeur je te dis simplement

Si l'amour doit enchaîner nos vies
Maintenant que ce soit maintenant
Et demain nos âmes réunis
S'aimeront un peu plus chaque jour
Etonné par tous ce qui nous lie
L'un à l'autre en ce premier amour

Découvrant enfin ce grand mystère
De tout ceux qui un jour comme nous
Ont uni leurs deux vies sur la terre
A jamais pour que naisse l'amour

Maintenant, maintenant

Little Christine


Little Christine
Composer(s): Mick Ralphs
Performer(s): Mott The Hoople



The light in the bar came on
The place was in a mess
An hour before there'd been an awful scene
Early on that day while Matt was on the phone
His long time friend took a fancy to his little Christine
Matt was in a state when I saw him later on
Tried to cool him down but he was havin' none
"I'm gonna fix him good", said Matt in a chokey way
Together we know the sound of a ready gun

Well it must have been around eight
When we both saw Sam's hunched back
Holdin' up a boarded bar room wall
Matt soon altered that as he kicked Sam to the floor
Pretty soon the place was one big brawl
Someone doused the lights
Still the pumps blew
Suddenly a voice caught in the night
"Whoever comes off best can only lose my hand
Leavin' now you are welcome to your fight, you can have it"

Well Matt he cocked his gun
Fired towards that voice
"I'd rather know you're dead" was his reply
Christine breathed her last
The bar was like a tomb
Not a sound, except to hear Sam call

The light in the bar was on
The place is in a mess
An hour before there'd been an awful scene
Early on that day while Matt was on the phone
His long time friend took a fancy to his little Christine

Main Street (Gene Kelly)


Main Street
Composer(s): Betty Comden; Roger Edens; Adolph Green
Performer(s): Gene Kelly



There's not much to tell about my hometown
Life is easy and the tempo's slow
But if you really want to find what's in it
You'll learn in a minute all you have to know
Let's go

Come walkin' with me I want you to see our main street
You'll see the whole town
By just walkin down our main street

There's the corner where the boys hang out
As each girl goes by they rate her whistle and try to date her "later"
Baby are you going steady?

And then we can stop and chat with a cop on main street
He made an arrest a way back in nineteen three
He'll ask me who is the pretty stranger
How proud I'm going to be when you walk down main street with me

Little Children


Little Children
Composer(s): J. Leslie McFarland - Mort Shuman
Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas



Little children, you better not tell on me
I'm tellin' you
Little children, you better not tell what you see
And if you're good
I'll give you candy and a quarter
If you're quiet like you oughta be
And keep a secret with me

I wish they would go away
Little children, now why aren't you playin' outside
I'm askin' you
You can't fool me, 'cause I'm gonna know if you hide
And try to peek
I'm gonna treat you to a movie
Stop your gigglin', children do be nice
Like little sugars and spice

You saw me kissin' your sister
You saw me holdin' her hand
But if you snitch to your mother
Your father won't understand

I wish they would take a nap
Little children, now why don't you go bye-bye
Go anywhere at all
Little children, I know you would if you tried
Go up the stairs
Me and your sister, we're goin' steady
How can I kiss her when I'm ready to
With little children like you around
I wonder what can I do around
Little children like you

Main Street (Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band)


Main Street
Composer(s): Bob Seger
Performer(s): Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band
and various other artists



I remember standing on the corner at midnight
Trying to get my courage up
There was this long lovely dancer in a little club downtown
I loved to watch her do her stuff
Through the long lonely nights she filled my sleep
Her body softly swaying to that smoky beat
Down on Mainstreet

In the pool halls, the hustlers and the losers
I used to watch 'em through the glass
Well I'd stand outside at closing time
Just to watch her walk on past
Unlike all the other ladies, she looked so young and sweet
As she made her way alone down that empty street
Down on Mainstreet

And sometimes even now, when I'm feeling lonely and beat
I drift back in time and I find my feet
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet

Little Child Runnin' Wild


Little Child Runnin' Wild
Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield
Performer(s): Curtis Mayfield; MC Breed



Little child
Runnin' wild
Watch a while
You see he never smiles

Broken home
Father gone
Mama tired
So he's all alone

Kind of sad
Kind of mad
Ghetto child
Thinkin' he's been had

In the back of his mind he's sayin'

Didn't have to be here
You didn't have to love for me
While I was just a nothin' child
Why couldn't they just let me be
Let me be, let me be, let me be

One room shack
On the alley-back
Control, I'm told
From across the track

Where is the mayor
Who'll make all things fair
He lives outside
Our polluted air

And I didn't have to be here
You didn't have to love for me
While I was just a nothin' child
Why couldn't they just let me be
Let me be, let me be, let me be

I got a jones
Runnin' through ma' bones
I'm sorry son
All your money's gone

Painful rip
In my upper hip
I guess it's time
To take another trip

Don't care what nobody say
I got to take the pain away
It's getting worser day by day
And all my life has been this way
Can't reason with the pusherman
Finance is all that he understands
'You junkie, mama cries, you know'
Would rip her, but I love her so
Love her so, now ...
