Mein Lieber Herr


Mein Lieber Herr
Spanish Title: Mi Querido Señor
Composer(s): Chris Michaelessi;
Lana Sebastian; Paul Sebastian
Performer(s): Dalida



Elle l'appelait Mein lieber herr
Dans une mansarde ou ils s'aimaient des nuits entière
Et dans ses yeux, elle revoyait
Sourire son père, chanter sa mère avant la guerre
Elle lui disait Mein Lieber herr
S'il devinait que c'est vous qui m'avez sauvé
Ne partez pas Mein Lieber herr
Vous voyez bien je n'ai plus rien que vous sur terre

Il répondait surtout n'écoute plus ta peur
Avec un peu d'espoir le monde sera meilleur

Aufwiedersehen lieber
Bientôt je reviendrai
De Berlin à Paris
La guerre sera fini
Les arbres seront en fleur
Les hommes auront du cœur
Je te le promets je reviendrais Aufwiedersehen lieber

Elle l'appelait Mein Lieber herr
Et leur histoire était la plus belle des victoires
Elle m'écoutait, Mein Lieber herr
Lui racontait tout ce qu'un jour ils allaient faire

Nous marcherons dans toutes les rues illuminées
Nous dînerons sur les terrasses d'un café

Aufwiedersehen lieber
Bientôt je reviendrai
De Berlin à Paris
La guerre sera fini
Les arbres seront en fleur
Les hommes auront du cœur
Je te le promets je reviendrais Aufwiedersehen lieber

Elle l'attendait Mein Lieber herr
Jour après jour dans le silence des bruits d'enfer
Elle s'inventait
Des nuits d'hivers
Au coin d'un feu libre et heureux après là...

"Elle n'appelle plus Mein Lieber
herr 30 ans après une veille
enfant aux yeux d'hiver ne parle plus, ne sais même plus qu'il
y est eu une guerre"

Mais certains soirs lorsqu'elle retrouve sa mémoire
Ses yeux s'allume soudain elle raconte son histoire

Aufwiedersehen lieber
Bientôt je reviendrai
De Berlin à Paris
La guerre sera fini
Les arbres seront en fleur
Les hommes auront du cœur
Je te le promets je reviendrais Aufwiedersehen lieber
Aufwiedersehen lieber
Bientôt je reviendrai
De Berlin à Paris
La guerre sera fini

La la la...
De Berlin à Paris
La guerre sera fini
Aufwiedersehen lieber
Bientôt je reviendrai
De Berlin à Paris
La guerre sera fini...

Once In A While (Barry Bostwick)


Once In A While
Composer(s): Richard O'Brien
Performer(s): Barry Bostwick;
and various other artists



Brad:
Once in a while, she don't want to call you
Speaking on the telephone
And once in your life, she won't want to know you
You look around
The one you've found, she is gone

And that's all the time that it takes
For a heart to turn to stone
The sweeter the wine
The harder to make the break
You hear something about someone
You'd thought you'd known

So baby don't cry like there's no tomorrow
After the night there's a brand new day
And there'll be no pain, and no more sorrow
So wash your face
And phone my place, it'll be okay

And that's all the time that it takes
For a heart to beat again
So give me a sign
That a lover makes
You look around
The one you've found is back again

10:15 Saturday Night


10:15 Saturday Night Composer(s): Michael Dempsey; Robert Smith; Lol Tolhurst First release by: The Cure - 1979 Covered by multiple other artists



10:15
Saturday night
And the tap drips
Under the strip light
And I'm sitting
In the kitchen sink
And the tap drips
Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip...

Waiting
For the telephone to ring
And I'm wondering
Where she's been
And I'm crying for yesterday
And the tap drips
Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip...

It's always the same...

Linda On My Mind


Linda On My Mind
((French Version: Les Larmes De Belinda (by Johnny Hallyday))
Composer(s): Conway Twitty
Performer(s): Conway Twitty



Now I'm lying here with Linda on my mind
And next to me, my soon to be, the one I left behind
And Lord it's killing me to see her crying
She knows I'm lying here beside her with Linda on my mind

Yes I know that I once loved her
And I placed no one above her
And I never thought I'd ever set her free
But it just wasn't in my plan
The way Linda squeezed my hand
The first time that I held her close as she danced with me

She said I've loved you for a long time
But you're married to a friend of mine
And I tried hard to never let it show
But my love for you is stronger
I can't hide it any longer
And so I thought I'd better let you know

Now I'm lying here with Linda on my mind
And next to me, my soon to be, the one I left behind
And Lord it's killing me to see her crying
She knows I'm lying here beside her with Linda on my mind ...

Dein letzter Brief kam heute früh
Du schreibst du bist auf deinem Weg
Zu einem unbekannten Ziel
Wohin der Wind dich gerade weht
Du sagst du folgst der Sonne nach
Doch bist du sicher was du tust
Nach allem was du je gesagt
Ist das die Straße die du suchst

Doch wohin du auch gehst
Mein Herz hat noch Platz für dich
Da ist niemand in deiner Welt
Der dich liebt wie ich
Und wie weit der Weg dich auch führt
Dort am Horizont
Dieses Herz hat noch Platz für dich
Wenn du wiederkommst

Auch wenn du schreibst du bist bei mir
Wenn du auf fremden Wolken fliegst
Weiß ich dein Herz ist nicht mehr hier
Nur mit dem Land durch das du ziehst
Jeder Weg hat auch ein Ziel
Und sei es nur im Niemandsland
Verlierer gibt's in jedem Spiel
Und Träume sterben irgendwann

Doch wohin du auch gehst
Mein Herz hat noch Platz für dich
Da ist niemand in deiner Welt
Der dich liebt wie ich
Und wie weit der Weg dich auch führt
Dort am Horizont
Dieses Herz hat noch Platz für dich
Wenn du wiederkommst

In tausend Tagen oder mehr
Wenn du die Ozeane kennst
Kommst du vielleicht zurück zu mir
Weil deine Sonne nicht mehr brennt

La la la lala la la la
Lala la la la
La la la lala la la la
Lala la la la

Da ist niemand in deiner Welt
Der dich liebt wie ich
Auch wenn Jahre vergeh'n
Mein Herz hat noch Platz für dich

I found your letter in my mailbox today
You were just checkin' if I was okay
And if I miss you, well, you know what they say ...
just once ... in a very blue moon
just once in a very blue moon
just once ... in a very blue moon
and I feel one comin' on soon

No need to tell me, you'd like to be friends
and help me get back on my feet again
If I miss you at all ... it's just now and then
just once ... in a very blue moon
just once in a very blue moon
just once ... in a very blue moon
and I feel one comin' on soon

There's a blue moon shinin'
when I am reminded of all we've been through
Such a blue moon ... shinin'
Does it ever shine down on you?

You act as if it never hurt you at all
Like I'm the only one who's gettin' up from a fall
Don't you remember?
Can't you recall?
just once ... in a very blue moon
just once in a very blue moon
just once ... in a very blue moon
and I feel one comin' on soon ... just once ... in a very ... blue moon

Mein Herr
Composer(s): Fred Ebb; John Kander
Performer(s): Liza Minnelli
and various other artists



You have to understand the way I am, mein Herr
A tiger is a tiger, not a lamb, mein Herr
You'll never turn the vinegar to jam, mein Herr
So I do, what I do
When I'm through, then I'm through
And I'm through, toodle oo

Bye bye mein lieber Herr, farewell mein lieber Herr
It was a fine affair, but now it's over
And though I used to care, I need the open air
You're better off without me mein Herr

Don't dab your eye, mein Herr, or wonder why mein Herr
I've always said that I was a rover
You mustn't knit your brow
You should have known by now
You'd every cause to doubt me mein Herr

The continent of Europe is so wide, mein Herr
Not only up and down, but side to side, mein Herr
I couldn't ever cross it if I tried, mein Herr
But I do what I can, inch by inch, step by step, mile by mile
Man by man

Bye bye mein Herr
Bye bye mein lieber Herr
Auf wiedersehen, mein Herr
Es war sehr gut, mein Herr, und vorbei
Du kennst mich wohl, mein Herr
Ach, lebe wohl, mein Herr
Du sollst mich nie mehr sehen mein Herr

Bye bye mein lieber Herr
Farewell mein lieber Herr
It was a fine affair, but now it's over
And though I used to care, I need the open air
You're better off without me
You'll get on without me, mein Herr

A Christmas Carol (Tom Lehrer)


A Christmas Carol Composer(s): Tom Lehrer Performer(s): Tom Lehrer
and multiple other artists



Christmas time is here, by golly
Disapproval would be folly
Deck the halls with hunks of holly
Fill the cup and don't say when

Kill the turkeys, ducks and chickens
Mix the punch, drag out the Dickens
Even though the prospect sickens
Brother, here we go again

On Christmas Day you can't get sore
Your fellow man you must adore
There's time to rob him all the more
The other three hundred and sixty-four

Relations, sparing no expense
'll Send some useless old utensil
Or a matching pen and pencil
("Just the thing I need, how nice!")

It doesn't matter how sincere it is
Nor how heartfelt the spirit
Sentiment will not endear it
What's important is the price

Hark, the Herald Tribune sings
Advertising wondrous things
God rest ye merry merchants
May ye make the Yuletide pay
Angels we have heard on high
Tell us to go out and buy!

So, let the raucous sleighbells jingle
Hail our dear old friend Kris Kringle
Driving his reindeer across the sky
Don't stand underneath when they fly by

Once In A Lifetime (Anthony Newley)


Once In A Lifetime Composer(s): Anthony Newley - Leslie Bricusse First release by: Anthony Newley - 1961 Covered by multiple other artists



Just once in a lifetime
A man knows a moment
One wonderful moment
When fate takes his hand
And this is my moment
My once in a lifetime
When I can explore a new and exciting land

For once in my lifetime
I feel like a giant
I soar like an eagle
As though I had wings
For this is my moment
My destiny calls me
And though it may be just once in my lifetime
I'm gonna do great things

And this is my moment
My once in a lifetime
When I can explore a new and exciting land

For once in my lifetime
I feel like a giant
I soar like an eagle
As though I had wings
For this is my moment
My destiny calls me
And though it may be just once in my lifetime
I'm gonna do great things

A Christmas Dream


A Christmas Dream Performer(s): Nathan Tinkham




As I was drifting off to sleep
On this Christmas eve
My thoughts turned to looking back
At how this came to be
Long ago and far away
On a night so clear
It was such a simple thing
To echo through the years

Mary rock your baby boy
As he softly cries
There will be a world of tears
Shed for him bye and bye
Soon there will be peace and hope
For all the world to know
All because a child was born
Two thousand years ago

An angel brought his tidings
Not to priests and kings
But to shepherds in their fields
Afraid and trembling
And standing in the manger
How were they to know
How the world would change around
This babe in swaddling clothes

Mary rock your baby boy
As he softly cries
There will be a world of tears
Shed for him bye and bye
Now there can be peace and hope
For all the world to know
All because a child was born
Two thousand years ago

Meia-Noite


Meia-Noite
Composer(s): Chico Buarque; Edú Lobo
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Se a noite não tem fundo
O mar perde o valor
Opaco é o fim do mundo
Pra qualquer navegador
Que perde o oriente
E entra em espirais
E topa pela frente
Um contingente
Que ele já deixou pra trás

Os soluços dobram tão iguais
Seus rivais, seus irmãos
Seu navio carregado de ideais
Que foram escorrendo feito grãos
As estrelas que não voltam nunca mais
E um oceano pra lavar as mãos

Once I Was


Once I Was
Composer(s): Larry Beckett; Tim Buckley
Performer(s): Tim Buckley; Eric Andersen; Tram



Once I was a soldier
And I fought on foreign sands for you
Once I was a hunter
And I brought home fresh meat for you
Once I was a lover
And I searched behind your eyes for you
And soon there'll be another
To tell you I was just a lie

And sometimes I wonder
Just for a while
Will you remember me

And though you have forgotten
All of our rubbish dreams
I find myself searching
Through the ashes of our ruins
For the days when we smiled
And the hours that ran wild
With the magic of our eyes
And the silence of our words

And sometimes I wonder
Just for a while
Will you remember me

A Christmas Letter


A Christmas Letter Composer(s): Gene Nelson - John Greenebaum - Paul Nelson Performer(s): Reba McEntire



At an antique desk an old man sits alone
Oh, it's Christmas Eve and it's almost time to go
He signs his name to a letter he just wrote
Then he reads it back with a voice as soft as snow

I want peace on Earth for Christmas
In a world where there's not one hungry child
A day when hope and faith conquers fear and hate
All I'm asking for is a little more love

Then he walks outside and climbs upon his sleigh
And calls out to his reindeer, then off they fly away
Oh, tonight he'll make a million dreams appear
While he wishes that his own dreams could come true this year

I want peace on Earth for Christmas
In a world where there's not one hungry child
A day when hope and faith conquers fear and hate
All I'm asking for is a little more love

A day when hope and faith just conquers fear and hate
All I'm asking for is a little more love

Meglio Per Te Se Piangi


Meglio Per Te Se Piangi
French Title: Rentre Chez Toi Et Pleure
Composer(s): Calabrese; Charles Aznavour; Gilbert Bécaud
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Meglio per te se piangi
Io ho pianto già per te
Non sai per quante ore
Ho portato con me
Il ricordo di te
Meglio per te se piangi
Il pianto ti calmerà
Attenuerà il dolore
E lo cancellerà
Pena d'amore è breve
Ombra sottile e lieve
Che si allontanerà da te
Meglio per te se piangi
Il pianto ti calmerà
E dopo tanto dolore
Da me ti guiderà
Meglio per te spiangi
Piangi, piangi...

Once BittenTwice Shy


Once Bitten Twice Shy
Composer(s): Ian Hunter
Performer(s): Ian Hunter;
and various other artists



Well the time's gettin' hard for you little girl
I'm a hummin' and a strummin' all over God's world
you don't remember when you got your last meal
and you forgot just how a woman feels
you didn't know what rock n' roll was
until you met a drummer on a Greyhound bus
I got there in the nick of time
before he got his hands across your state line

well in the middle of the night
on the open road
and the heater don't work and it's oh-so cold
you're gettin' tired, you're lookin' kinda beat
the music of the street, drive you off your feet
you didn't know how rock n' roll looked
until you caught your sister with a guy from the group
half-way home in the parking lot
by the look in her eyes she was givin' what she got

Once bitten twice shy, babe

Woman you're a mess gonna die in your sleep
all the blood on my hand and my Les Paul heat
I can't leave you home cos you're runnin' around
my best friend told me you're the best trick in town

You didn't know that rock n' roll burned
so you bought a candle and you loved and you learned
you got the rhythm, you got the speed
mamma's little baby likes it short and sweet

Once bitten twice shy, babe

I didn't know ya got a rock n' roll record
until a saw your picture on another guy's jacket
you told me I was the only one
and look at you now, well it's dark as it's dumb

Once bitten twice shy, babe

Later on that night, 'bout a quarter to three
Seems I asked you to marry me
Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle
Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle
Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle

Everytime it's Christmas Eve
Something happens inside
Seems like the love we had
Never, never died
