Mais ... Marie Est Venue


Mais ... Marie Est Venue
Performer(s): Claude Barzotti



Voilà que tu débarques, voilà que tu reviens
Comme si c'était hier, comme si ce n'était rien
Et tu parles de nous, comme d'une évidence
Tu viens je ne sais d'où, tu veux qu'on recommence

Mais Marie est venue, sans rien me demander
Et elle seule a su, m'apprendre à t'oublier

Voilà que je comprends, que je ne t'aime plus
Que t'étais assemblant, rien qu'un mal entendu
Toi tu dis que tu m'aimes et que tout va changé
Qu'on ne fait plus de scène quand on a trop pleuré

Mais marie est venue, et elle m'a guéri
M'a soigné et m'a plu, m'a redonné la vie

Voilà que tu arrives, comment t'es reconquises
Que tu dis à Marie, que la place était prise
Et puis moi je comprends combien j'aime Marie
Combien je veux d'enfants que va faire Marie

Car Marie est venue, elle m'a consolée
Je n'aurais jamais cru, que j'allais tant l'aimer
{x2}

500 Miles


500 Miles
Composer(s): Hedy West
Performer(s): Peter, Paul & Mary;
and various other artists



If you miss the train I'm on
you will know that I am gone
you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
a hundred miles, a hundred miles
you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two, Lord
I'm three, Lord, I'm four, Lord
I'm five hundred miles away from home
Away from home, away from home
away from home, away from home
Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home

Not a shirt on my back
not a penny to my name
Lord, I can't go back home this-a way
This-a way, this-a way
this-a way, this-a way
Lord, I can't go back home this-a way

If you miss the train I'm on
you will know that I am gone
you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
a hundred miles, a hundred miles
you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

Marianne De Ma Jeunesse


Marianne De Ma Jeunesse
Composer(s): Louis Amade; Gilbert Bécaud
Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud



Marianne de ma jeunesse
Ton manoir se dressait
Sur la pauvre richesses
De mon rêve enchanté

Les sapins sous le vent
Sifflent un air étrange
Où les voix se mélangent
De nains et de géants

Marianne de ma jeunesse
Tu as ressuscité
Des démons des princesses
Qui dans moi sommeillaient

Car ton nom fait partie
Marianne de ma jeunesse
Du dérisoire livre
Où tout enfant voudrait vivre

Marianne de ma jeunesse
Nos deux ombres enfuies
Se donnèrent promesse
Par-delà leurs joies et leur vie

Marianne de ma jeunesse
J'ai serré sur mon cœur
Presque avec maladresse
Ton mouchoir de pluie et de pleurs

500 Miles Away From Home


500 Miles Away From Home
Composer(s): Bobby Bare; Hedy West; Charlie Williams
Performer(s): Bobby Bare;
and various other artists



(I'm five hundred miles away from home)

Teardrops fell on Mama's note
When I read the things she wrote
She said "We miss you, son, we love you, come on home"
Well I didn't have to pack
I had it all right on my back
Now I'm five hundred miles away from home

Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home

SPOKEN: I know this is the same coat
I took when I left home
But it sure looks different now
And I guess I look different too
But time changes everything
I wonder what they'll say,
When they see their boy lookin' this way
SUNG: Oh, I wonder what they'll say when I get home

Can't remember when I ate
It's just thumb and walk and wait
And I'm still five hundred miles away from home
If my luck had been just right
I'd be with them all tonight
But I'm still five hundred miles away from home

Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home

Oh, I'm still five hundred miles away from home

----------


As performed by Reba McEntire:



Teardrops fell on Mama's note
When I read the things she wrote
She said "We miss you, son, we love you, come on home"
Well I didn't have to pack
I had it all right on my back
Now I'm five hundred miles away from home

Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home

It's hard to tell the state I'm in
Where I'm goin', where I've been
But there's a dream I've been followin' so long
If Mama knew the things I've done
She'd forgive them ev'ryone
But I'm still five hundred miles away from home

Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home

(Instrumental Break)

Can't remember when I ate
It's just thumb and walk and wait
And I'm still five hundred miles away from home
If my luck had been just right
I'd be with them all tonight
But I'm still five hundred miles away from home

Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home

Lord, I'm still five hundred miles away from home

Marianne (Terry Gilkyson)


Marianne
Composer(s): Richard Dehr; Terry Gilkyson; Frank Miller
Originally performed by: Terry Gilkyson & The Easy Riders



Marianne
Oh, Marianne
Oh won't you marry me?
We can have a bamboo hut and brandy in the tea
Leave your fat old Nanna home
She never will say yes
If mamma don't know now
She can guess, my, my, yes

All night, all day, Marianne
Down by the seaside sifting sand
Even little children love Marianne
Down by the seaside sifting sand

When she walks along the shore
People pause to greet
While birds fly around her
Little fish come to her feet
In her heart is love, but I'm the only mortal man
Who's allowed to kiss my Marianne
Don't rush me

All night, all day, Marianne
Down by the seaside sifting sand
Even little children love Marianne
Down by the seaside sifting sand

When we marry, we will have
A time you never saw
I will be so happy
I will kiss my mother-in-law
Children by the dozen, in and out the bamboo hut
One for every palm tree, and cok-y-nut
Hurry up now

All night, all day, Marianne
Down by the seaside sifting sand
Even little children love Marianne
Down by the seaside sifting sand

Lasting forever now
5-10-15-20 (25-30 Years Of Love)
Aren't we happy

Look at the little kids playing
And having fun
Don't they remind you of us
When we were young
5-10-15-20 (25-30 Years Of Love)
Weren't we happy

And we have so much to be thankful for
We've got
5-10-15-20 (25-30 Years Of Love)
Holding hands and talking
Walking in the park
Aren't we happy

Watching the kids play
Girl, brings memories to our hearts
Aren't we happy
And here I cry out
Thank you for giving me
5-10-15-20 (25-30 Years Of Love)
Aren't we happy

Thank you for
5-10-15-20 (25-30 Years Of Love)
Aren't we happy

Marianne (Hootenanny Singers)


Marianne
Composer(s): Björn Ulvaeus
Performer(s): Hootenanny Singers



Marianne, och vi skulle bara se
Marianne, skulle blott se henne le
Vita tänder, lingult hår
Fyller sjutton nu i år
Än har ingen gett dig ringen, Marianne

Marianne, jag vet ingen lika fin
Marianne, lika söt och feminin
Blotta namnet är musik
Du är ingen annan lik
Ingen annan har den pannan, Marianne

Marianne, Marianne
Marianne

Marianne, vem skall bli din hjärtekung
Marianne, du är lycklig du är ung
Kanske blomma vårar än
Innan du skall finna den
Finna vännen ibland männen, Marianne

Marianne, får du nånsin bryderi
Marianne, kom till mig jag står dig bi
Kan du ej bestämma dig
Kom och gift dig då med mig
Jag är bäste, känner prästen, Marianne

Marianne, Marianne
Marianne

Nos Souvenirs


Nos Souvenirs
Dutch & English Titles: Maanlicht; Memory
Composer(s): Trevor Nunn;
T.S. Elliot; Eddy Marnay; Andrew Lloyd Webber
Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu (Originally performed by: Elaine Paige)



Sans toi
La nuit est sans lumières
On dirait que la terre
Oublie ces souvenirs
Feuilles mortes
Qui s'envolent à chacun de mes pas
Le passé
Marche avec moi

L'automne
Et ses heures tranquilles
Et les rues de la ville
Ont fait nos souvenirs
J'étais belle
Sans le savoir et je souriais
J'étais belle
De t'aimer

Dans cette ville
Endormie
Où nos amours se promènent
Je fais un vœu
Et je lève les yeux
Mon dieu qu'il me revienne

Et moi
Ce matin qui se lève
Je voudrais qu'il devienne
Un de nos souvenirs
Que l'histoire
Perdue un jour au coin de la vie
Recommence
Aujourd'hui

Je te vois
Venir à moi
Peut-être bien que je rêve
Peut-être bien
Que tu es là cette fois
Alors je veux te dire

Prends-moi
L'avenir sera tendre
Je n'ai fait que t'attendre
A travers chaque nuit
On s'embrasse
Pour effacer tous nos souvenirs
Tout commence
Aujourd'hui

Composer(s): Eddie Van Halen; Sammy Hagar;
Michael Anthony; Alex Van Halen
Performer(s): Van Halen



The love in me is never straight and narrow
Unless the love is tried and true
You take a chance with new beginnings
Still we try, win or lose, take the highs
With the blues

Always one more, you're never satisfied
Never one for all, only one for me
So why draw the line, meet you half the way
If you don't know what that means

I feel like running politician
Just trying to please all the time
I give you my share with no conditions
Going wide, running long, feeling lost
But not for a long

Always one more, you're never satisfied
Never one for all, only one for me
So why draw the line, meet you half the way
If you don't know what that means

Solo

Always one more, you're never satisfied
Never one for all, only one for me
So why draw the line, meet you half the way
If you don't know what that means

Marianne
Composer(s): David Blue
Performer(s): David Blue



I loved Marianne in the winter
In the loft of her favorite lover
She was growing older
The winter nights were cold
She told me I'm frightened
I said yes I know

Her eyes held me to her
They burned with such a fire
For the saints on the walls
Holy candles in the halls
For those who had left her
I held her and cried

Oh Marianne you are beautiful
To be this friend
To a stranger who
Leaves you only to fall
Do not cry you have helped me
I will not say goodbye

I knew her from another song
Her older poet wrote before
We played it in the morning laughing on the floor
Till he came knocking on the lower East Side door

Yes you know I miss her
Her and her stories of the night
I called her a rabbit
She gave me back my life
I haven't heard her voice since the Isle of Wight

Oh Marianne you are beautiful
To be this friend
To a stranger who
Leaves you only to fall
Do not cry you have helped me
I will not say goodbye

51st Anniversary


51st Anniversary
Composer(s): Jimi Hendrix
Performer(s): Jimi Hendrix; Love Depression



For fifty years they've been married
They can't wait for their fifty first
To roll around, yeah, roll around
For thirty years they've been married
And now they're old and happy
And they settle down, ha ha
Settle down, yeah
For twenty years they've been married
And they did everything that could be done
You know, they have their fun

And then you come along and talk about it
"So you, you say you wanna be married
I'm gonna change your mind
Oh, gotta change it"
That was the good side baby
Here comes the best side
For ten years they've been married
A thousand kids went around homeless
`Cause their Mom was a louse
Daddy's down at the whisky house
That ain't all
For three years they've been married
They don't get along so good
They're tired of each other
You know how that goes
She got another lover
Hah, same old thing
So now you're seventeen
You run around hangin' out
And having your fun
Life for you has just begun baby

And then you come sayin'
"So you, you say you wanna be married
Oh, baby, tryin' to put me on a chain
Ain't that some shame?
You must be losin' your weak little mind
I ain't ready to get married
I ain't ready
I'm gonna change your mind
Ooh, look out baby
Auh, I ain't ready to get tied down
I ain't ready, I ain't ready now
Let me live a little while longer
Let me live, let me live a little while longer
So I can finish talking
Let me get back to my groooove ...

Wenn ein junger Mann von Liebe spricht
wird es gleich ein Gedicht

Mariandl-andl-andl
aus dem Wachauer Landl-Landl
Dein lieber Name klingt
schon wie ein liebes Wort
Mariandl-andl-andl
du hast mein Herz am Bandl-Bandl
Du hälst es fest und läßt es
niemehr wieder fort

Und jedes Jahr, stell ich mich ein
dran ist der Donaustrohm nicht schuld
und nicht der Wein

Ins Wachhauer Landl-Landl
zieht mich ein Mariandl-andl
Denn sie will ganz allein
nur mein Mariandl sein

Und jedes Jahr, stell ich mich ein
dran ist der Donaustrohm nicht schuld
und nicht der Wein
Ins Wachhauer Landl-Landl
zieht mich ein Mariandl-andl
Denn sie will ganz allein
nur mein Mariandl sein

Denn sie will ganz allein
nur mein Mariandl sein

Where are the roses that I bought you, my love?
Where are the poems that I wrote?
You cast your eyes down when I watch you, my love
Have I been too long on the road?

I came back to find a stranger in tears
She was once the girl I used to know, for some years
Marian, tell me you still care for me
Marian, remember how good those days used to be

Marian, for don't you believe?

What kind of music fills your head now, my love?
What kind of place became your mind?
You tried to find out 'bout your feelings, my love
Where you ever thinking of mine?

I came back to find a stranger in tears
She was once the girl I used to know, for some years
Marian, tell me you still care for me
Marian, remember how good those days used to be

Marian, for don't you believe?

Always onward rode the 600 (5-4-3-2-1)
Down the valley on their horses they thundered (5-4-3-2-1)
Ah but once they're down they really blundered (5-4-3-2-1)
Uh huh, it was the Manfreds

(title x2)
The soldiers waited at the gate for weeks (5-4-3-2-1)
& onward on horses to the city they sneaked (5-4-3-2-1)
Pulled out & then, was it the Greeks? (5-4-3-2-1)
Uh huh, it was the Manfreds

Mariage
Composer(s): Henri Contet; Marguerite Monnot
Performer(s): Édith Piaf
and various other artists



Six heures, Place de la Trinité
Quand le coup de feu a claqué
Juste en face du petit café
La dame qui avait tiré
Regardait d'un air étonné
L'homme en gris qui était tombé

On ajouta un numéro
Sur le registre de bureau
Du commissariat de police
La dame, elle ne veut pas parler
Et quand le juge est fatigué
Elle bavarde avec son passé...
Dire que tout ça a commencé
En même temps qu'un soleil d'été
Qui avait l'air fait pour durer
Et le soleil s'était posé
Sur un jeune homme en gris foncé
Qui avait l'air fait pour danser
Alors, bien sûr, elle a valsé
Et puis après, l'a embrassé
Il n'en faut pas plus pour aimer

On ajouta un numéro
Sur le registre de bureau
De la mairie du quatorzième
Alors, tout devient merveilleux
Dans les beaux rêves, on ne fait pas mieux
La dame, elle en ferme les yeux
Elle revoit, elle revoit
Le seul jour de da vie, je crois
Où elle a fait un signe de croix
Car tout était miraculeux
L'église chantait rien que pour eux
Et même le pauvre était heureux
C'est l'amour qui faisait sa tournée
Et, de là-haut, à toutes volées
Les cloches criaient: "Vive la mariée!"

Sonnez, sonnez, carillonnez!
S'il a juré fidélité
Il a menti, le bien-aimé
Sonnez, sonnez, carillonnez!
Il a juré fidélité
Il a menti, le bien-aimé...
Carillonnez!...

55 Days At Peking


55 Days At Peking
From the film "55 Days At Peking"
Composer(s): Dimitri Tiomkin; Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): Kenny Ball & His Jazzmen; - 1963
The Brothers Four; Richard Chamberlain



Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom, bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom

The year was Nineteen-Hundred
T'is worth remembering
The men who lived through
Fifty-five days at Peking

T'was called the Boxer Insurrection
A bloody, Oriental war
Against all nations
Of the Diplomatic Corps

The flags of France and Britain
How they fluttered in the breeze
The Italian and the Russian
And the flag of the Japanese

Then came the sound of bugles
The rolling drums of fury
And the streets of Peking
Were as empty as a tomb

Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom, bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom

The Empress of all China
Gave the signal to begin
Let the foreign devils
Be driven from Peking

They stormed the French Ligation
They attacked with shot and shell
And they came in blood red blouses
Screaming "Sha Shou" as they fell

The drums have long been muffled
The bugles cease to ring
But through the ages
You can hear them echoing

Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom, bom-bom-bom
Fifty-five days at Peking

Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom, bom-bom-bom
Fifty-five days at Peking

Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom

Performer(s): Santana



Maria Maria
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She's living the life just like a movie star

Maria Maria

She fell in love in East L.A.
To the sounds of a guitar
Yeah, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana

Stop the looting, stop the shooting
Pick pocking on the corner
See as the rich is getting richer
The poor is getting poorer

Se mira Maria on the corner
Thinking of ways to make it better
In my mailbox there's an eviction letter
Somebody just said see you later

Ahora venga mama chola
Mama chola

I said a la favella los colores
The streets are getting hotter
There is no water
To put out the fire
Mi canto la esperanza
Se mira Maria on the corner
Thinking of ways to make it better
Then I looked up in the sky
Hoping of days of paradise

Ahora venga mama chola
Mama chola

Maria you know you're my lover
When the wind blows I can feel you
Through the weather and even when we're apart
It feels like we're together
