Te souviens-tu des nuits d'Espagne
Et de cette chanson gitane
Qui nous faisait rêver quand tout le ciel brillait
Que mille étoiles scintillaient mettant un peu de rêve bleu
Dans nos yeux
Je n'oublierais jamais que tu m'as serré Chéri dans tes bras
Ce soir-là
Te souviens-tu des nuits d'Espagne
Et de cette chanson gitane
Qui racontait l'histoirede cette rose noire
Toujours plus belle à l'infini mais qui fleurissait dans la nuit
Si jolie
Et sous la lune bleue comme on était heureux
Seuls tous les deux
La, la, la, la, la...
N'oublie jamais les nuits d'Espagne
Ni la jolie chanson gitane
Qui racontait l'histoire de cette rose noire
Toujours plus belle à l'infini mais qui fleurissait dans la nuit
Dans la nuit
C'est depuis ce soir-là que j'ai eu la joie
De t'avoir à moi pour la vie
La, la, la, la, la...

Luther
Luther
Performer(s): Boxcar Willie
I can still remember
The first time I saw him
Silver-haired old man
Even then
But we hit it off together
And fished old Paynee River
Through the years I'm proud to say
Luther was my friend
They all called him crazy
Said his mind was simple
They even talked of puttin' him away
But he wouldn't hurt nobody
And I hated all the town folk
The way they treated Luther
And the game they used to play
They said, "Luther here's a dollar
Luther here's a quarter
Take either one you want, old man
Which one will it be"
Then they'd all hoop and holler
And he never took the dollar
He'd take the shiny quarter
Smile and walk away
I watched him growin' older
And I finally gave up countin'
The times they made him play
That awful game
Till one day he lay a-dyin'
And I was sittin' by him
He said "Boy, before before I go
There's somethin' to explain"
"I know you've always wondered
Why I just took their quarters
And now, son
You're old enough to understand"
"But you see, the way I had it figured
Was never take that dollar
The day you do, boy
The money game will end"
They said, "Luther, here's a dollar
Luther, here's a quarter
Take either one you want, old man
Which one will it be"
Then they'd all hoop and holler
But he never took the dollar
He'd take the shiny quarter
Smile and walk away
Now Luther lay a-sleepin'
In the ground down by the river
Lord knows I miss that old black man
But twenty sacks of quarters
And the wisdom of his thinkin'
Have made my life much easier
Than I had ever planned
Well, I often go to see him
And I place a paper dollar
And a brand new shiny quarter
On his grave
And I feel my body shiver
As a cool breeze from the river
Blows that paper bill up through the trees
And far away
Luther, here's a dollar
Luther, here's a quarter
Take either one you want, old man
Which one will it be
He lived and died in squalor
And he still won't take the dollar
But there's a pile of quarters
Heaped high on Luther's grave
Luther, here's a dollar
Luther, here's a quarter
Take either one you want, old man
Which one will it be
Yes, they'd all hoop and holler
And he never took the dollar
He'd take the shiny quarter
Smile and walk away
Luther, here's a dollar
Luther, here's a quarter
Take either one you want, old man
Which one will it be
Then they'd all hoop and holler
And he never took the dollar ...

Moonlight Becomes You
Moonlight Becomes You
Composer(s): Johnny Burke; Jimmy Van Heusen
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and various other artists
Moonlight becomes you, it goes with your hair
You certainly know the right thing to wear
Moonlight becomes you, I'm thrilled at the sight
And I could get so romantic tonight
You're all dressed up to go dreaming
Now don't tell me I'm wrong
And what a night to go dreaming
Mind if I tag along
If I say I love you
I want you to know
It's not just because there's moonlight
Although, moonlight becomes you so
You're all dressed up to go dreaming
Now don't tell me I'm wrong
And what a night to go dreaming
Mind if I tag along
If I say I love you
I want you to know
It's not just because there's moonlight
Although, moonlight becomes you so

Originally performed by: American Quartet
Covered by various other artists
(Sailing through the moonlight, sailing on the bay)
We were sailing along on Moonlight Bay
We could hear the voices ringing
They seemed to say

Lush Life
Lush Life
Composer(s): Billy Strayhorn
First recording/First release by: Duke Ellington & His Orch. - 1948
Covered by multiple other artists
I, I used to visit all these very gay places
Those come what may places
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
To get a feel of life
From jazz and cocktails
The girls I knew had sad and sullen grey faces
With distant gay traces
That used to be there
You could see where they've been washed away
By too many through the day
Twelve o'clock tales
Then suddenly you came along
With a siren song
It tempts me to madness
I thought for a while that your poignant smile
Was tinged with the sadness ...
Of a great love for me
But, I was wrong
I was wrong
Life is lonely again
And only last week, everything seemed so sure
Now life is awful again
A trough full of hearts will probably be a bore, a bore
A week I might go to Paris
At least a bite of it
All, all I want to do is laugh in spite of it
I'll forget you, I will
And yet you are still
Burning inside my brain
Romance is mush
And it stifles those who strive
Well I'll live a lush life in some small dive
And I, I'll be alright with the rest
All those whose lives are lonely too

Moonlight Angel
Moonlight Angel
Composer(s): Bernd Meinunger; Ralph Siegel
Performer(s): Engelbert Humperdinck
She was standing at the seashore in a mystic summer night
And the silver moon made diamonds
out of all the tears she cried
Though her eyes were filled with sorrow she looked so divine
So kind of beautiful just like a moonlight angel
So I asked why she was crying she slowly turned her face
She whispered softly to me love can hurt a thousand ways
And for one enchanted moment I was standing helplessly
Your kisses really put a spell on me
Oh moonlight angel why did you fly away
Tell me what’s your heaven earning
Tell me is your heart still yearning
For a tender love you left behind
Oh moonlight angel how could I make you stay
If you’re tired and lonesome I will hold you tight
'Cause another heaven is hard to find
And she whispered I must leave now wait for me I’ll be back soon
On her face I saw dark shadows cause a black cloud hid the moon
And I tried to say I love you please don’t go away
But all the time I knew you can’t catch moonlight angels
And I saw her disappearing in the darkness of the night
All I felt was sorrow and a burning pain inside
When I tried to walk behind her just to find the Promised Land
There were no footsteps, footsteps in the sand
Oh moonlight angel why did you fly away
Tell me what’s your heaven earning
Tell me is your heart still yearning
For a tender love you left behind
Oh moonlight angel gone at the break of day
Tell me is your heart still yearning
Deep inside for a never love you left behind
If you’re tired and lonesome I will hold you tight
'Cause another heaven is hard to find

((English & French Versions: From Today (Charles Aznavour); Désormais (Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Daiano
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Oramai, non ci vedranno piu' insieme
Oramai, so' che vivro' nella tristezza
Nel freddo di una carezza
Che mai nessuno mi dara'...
Oramai, la voce non dira' ti amo
Oramai, qualcuno sara' gia' lontano
Io saro' l'ombra di me stesso
Triste riflesso dell'amor
E mai piu', sentiro' i tuoi dolci si...
Ti vedro' camminare qui
E tu non fai nemmeno un gesto!
E mai piu', dormiremo vicini, piu'
Sogneremo paesi blu
E del resto, oramai...
Oramai, la gente ci vedra' piu' soli
Oramai, non siamo piu' due parti uguali
E le parole ch'eran nostre
A quanti altri le dirai..
Oramai, io guardero' la porta chiusa
Oramai, chi curera' piu' le tue rose
Vivro' fra centomila cose
Che mi ricorderanno te!
E mai piu', sentiro' i tuoi dolci si...
Ti vedro' camminare qui
E tu non fai nemmeno un gesto!
E mai piu', dormiremo vicini, piu'
Sogneremo paesi blu
E del resto, oramai
Oramai...

L'uomo In Frack
L'uomo In Frack
Composer(s): Domenico Modugno
Performer(s): Domenico Modugno; Silvano Chimenti
È giunta mezzanotte
si spengono i rumori
si spegne anche l'insegna di quell'ultimo caffè
le strade son deserte
deserte e silenziose
un ultima carrozza cigolando se ne va
il fiume scorre lento
frusciando sotto i ponti
la luna splende in cielo
dorme tutta la città
solo va un uomo in frack
ha il cilindro per cappello
due diamanti per gemelli
un bastone di cristallo
la gardena nell'occhiello
e sul candido gilet un papillon
un papillon di seta blu
s'avvicina lentamente con il cedere elegante
ha l'aspetto trasognato malinconico ed assente
e non si sa da dove vien
ne dove va
chi mai sarà
quell'uomo in frack
Buona notte
va dicendo ad ogni cosa
ai fanali illuminati
ad un gatto innamorato
che randagio se ne va
È giunta ormai l'aurora
si spengono i fanali
si sveglia a poco a poco tutta quanta la città
la luna si è incantata sorpresa impallidita
pian piano scolorandosi nel cielo sparirà
Sbadiglia una finestra sul fiume silenzioso
e nella luce bianca galleggiando se ne van
un cilindro un fiore e un frack
galleggiando dolcemente lasciandosi cullare
se ne scende lentamente sotto i ponti verso il mare
verso il mare se ne va
chi mai sarà
chi mai sarà
quell'uomo in frack
Addio al mondo
ai ricordi del passato
ad un sogno mai sognato
ad un attimo d'amore che mai più
ritornerà

Mooning
Mooning
Composer(s): Warren Casey; Jim Jacobs
Performer(s): Louis St. Louis
and various other artists
I spend my days just mooning
so sad and blue
so sad and blue I spend my nights just mooning
all over you (all over who?)
Oh I'm so full of love, as any fool can see
Cause ages up above, have hung the moon on me
(Why must you go) why must I go on mooning
so all alone (so all alone)
There would be no (there would be no) more mooning
if you would call me (I've found a phone)
I'm lying by myself in bed, I cry and give myself the red eye
Mooning over you I'll stay behind
(you'll stay behind) you mooning forevermore (forevermore)
Someday you'll find (someday we'll find)
me mooning at your front door (at my front door)
Oh, everyday at school I want ya, always will until I got ya
Mooning too (there's a moon up tonight)

L'uomo E La Nuvola
L'uomo E La Nuvola
Performer(s): Angelo Branduardi
Lui l'amò come la vide
così bianca e inafferrabile
"Lontana sei ed io non ho
la scala per il cielo"
Lei serena lo guardò
ed al vento si distese ...
e lui seguì sospirando
lei che, per gioco, navigava per il cielo
Lunghi anni lui l'amò
sempre bianca e inafferrabile
"Crudele sei e il tuo candore
nasconde solo gelo"
Lei turbata lo guardò
e al suo pianto poi si arrese ...
Ed una tenere pioggia
lei gli donò
consumandosi d'amore

Moonglow
Composer(s): Eddie De Lange; Will Hudson; Irving Mills
Originally performed by: Eddie De Lange
Covered by various other artists
It must have been moonglow, way up in the blue
It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you
I still hear you sayin', "Dear one, hold me fast"
And I keep on prayin', "Oh Lord, please let this last"
We seemed to float right through the air
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere
And now when there's moonglow, way up in the blue
I'll always remember, that moonglow gave me you
It must have been moonglow, way up in the blue
It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you
I still hear you sayin', "Sweet child, hold me fast"
And I keep on prayin', "Oh Lord, please let this last"
We seemed to float right through the air
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere
And now when there's moonglow, way up in the blue
I'll always remember, that moonglow gave me you

Autant Chercher À Retenir Le Vent
((Adapted from: Catch The Wind (Donovan) - 1965))
Composer(s): Donovan - Richard Anthony
Performer(s): Richard Anthony - 1965
Dans les moments sans espoir
Où l'on ne sait plus qu'être perdu
On a peur de la nuit qui descend
Je voudrais, près de toi, attendre le matin
Mais je sais bien
Autant chercher à retenir le vent
Sur des plages mouillées
Nous irions tous les deux et dans tes yeux
Je verrais le feu du soleil se couchant
Je voudrais te garder bien loin du monde entier
Mais je le sais
Autant chercher à retenir le vent
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Quand la pluie pend des larmes aux fleurs
C'est dans ton coeur, dans sa chaleur,
Que je voudrais pleurer comme un enfant
Il faudrait que tu m'aimes au moins quelques instants
Mais je le sens
Autant chercher à retenir le vent
Autant chercher à retenir le vent

Moondreams
Moondreams
Composer(s): Norman Petty
Performer(s): Buddy Holly
Strange things take place in my moondreams
as the lonely and loveless hours go by
your face takes its place in every moonbeam
moondreams bring thoughts gentle as a sigh
Moondreams can be a sensation
moondreams may be fascination
love can be our destination
you and I can share this dream
Wishing for you in my moondreams
as the lonely and loveless hours go by
will do until you can share all my dreams
moondreams - moondreams
moondreams brought by moonbeams in the sky

L'uomo Che Si Gioca Il Cielo A Dadi
L'uomo Che Si Gioca Il Cielo A Dadi
Composer(s): Roberto Vecchioni
Performer(s): Roberto Vecchioni
Chi guarda dalla strada
non ci crederebbe mai
io vado a letto adesso
e tu sei in piedi dalle sei
tu stai pescando ed io
sta notte ho amato chissà chi
ho la camicia fuori e sono qui
Ti leggo dentro gli occhi
"Figlio mio come ti va?"
E come vuoi che vada
come sempre, siamo qua
ti vedo così poco
ma soltanto tu sei tu
con quelli là non se la faccio più
Papà, lasciamo tutti e andiamo via
Papà, lasciamo tutto e andiamo via
Tu li hai giocati tutti
senza avere in mano i re
pien e cavalli o niente
tutto il resto che cos'è?
Ti sei giocato donne
che impazzivano per te
eppure un giorno hai pianto in un caffè
Ci sono stati giorni
da piantare tutto lì
eppure li hai giocati
sorridendomi così
per te l'estate non comincia
e non finisce mai
è vivere la vita come fai
papà, lasciamo tutti e andiamo via
papà, lasciamo tutto e andiamo via
E quando verrà l'ora
di partire, vecchio mio
scommetto che ti giochi
il cielo a dadi anche con Dio
e accetterà lo giuro
purché in cielo, dove sta
se non ti rassomiglia che ci fa?

Moondance
Moondance
Composer(s): Van Morrison
Originally performed by: Van Morrison
Covered by various other artists
Well it's a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
You know the night's magic
Seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight
Seems to shine in your blush...
Can I just have one a' more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with a' you, my love?
Well I wanna make love to you tonight
I can't wait till the morning has come
And I know now the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you're never alone
There and then all my dreams will come true dear
There and then I will make you my own
And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know how much you want me that, you can't hide...
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?
Well it's a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
You know the night's magic
Seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight
Seems to shine in your blush...
One more moondance with you
In the moonlight
On a magic night
la, la, la, la, there's a moonlight
On a magic night
Can't I just have one more dance
With you my love?

L'uomo
L'uomo
Performer(s): Francesco Guccini
Senza l'ultima parola
frase saggia da citarsi
piegò il capo sul cuscino
quasi per addormentarsi
senza un grido, senza un nome
senza motti, senza un suono
né rumori di battaglie era morto un altro uomo
Restò solo qualcosa che volò
nell'aria calma e poi svanì
per dove non sapremo mai
C'era buio nella stanza
di malato un greve odore
e una lieve pazza danza di mosconi in amore
Lievi ronzan le preghiere
poi qualcuno se n'è accorto
si alzò atroce nella sera
solo un chiaro grido "E' morto!"
Restò solo qualcosa che volò
nell'aria calma e poi svanì
per dove non sapremo mai
Svelti accorrono gli astanti
"Com'è morto? Com'è andata?"
sfrigolava ormai sui pianti
la candela già bruciata
Gli composero le braccia
si riavviò la rada chioma
ondeggiava sulla faccia
del rosario la corona
Restò solo qualcosa che volò
nell'aria calma e poi svanì
per dove non sapremo mai
Si frugò dentro ai ricordi
di una vita ormai finita
si guardò dentro ai cassetti
colmi di carta ingiallita
Questa foto è per la figlia
l'orologio qui a chi tocca?
meglio gli chiudiate gli occhi
meglio chiudergli la bocca
Restò solo qualcosa che volò
nell'aria calma e poi svanì
per dove non sapremo mai
Si riuniscono i parenti
si rincorrono i ricordi
già si parla delle spese
già si senton pianti sordi
Qualche spicciolo lasciato
provocò parole accese
che volarono sul letto
e copriron le candele
Restò solo qualcosa che volò
nell'aria calma e poi svanì
per dove non sapremo mai
Uno schiaffo fa tacere
anche i giochi dei bambini
sono calate le serrande
neri sfilano i vicini
Le ghirlande hanno gettato
la tristezza sulle scale
fra i parenti addolorati
se ne scende il funerale
Restò ...
Una vita, quante cose
dice il prete in due parole
Lo ringraziano gli astanti
via l'inverno, c'è già il sole
Chiacchiere, risate lievi
vanno per il cimitero
restan fiori con le scritte
resta al vento un drappo nero
Restò ...
