Mourir En Toi


Mourir En Toi
Composer(s): Georges Chelon; Claude Valois Performer(s): Georges Chelon



Plus fort que les mots, il y a le silence
Et nos corps lentement balancent
Au-delà des serments qui mentent comme les rêves
Il y a l'envie de boire tes lèvres
Sur le sable encore chaud, donne-moi rien qu'une heure
Je veux mourir en toi comme les vagues meurent
Surtout ne me dis pas d'où tu viens, où tu vas
Tu es femme et tu es l'autre moitié de moi
Et puis mourir en toi
Et puis me fondre en toi
Comme l'eau dans la terre
Le fleuve dans la mer
Je veux me perdre en toi
Et puis mourir en toi
Et puis me fondre en toi
Comme un vaisseau perdu
Je ne reviendrai plus
Je veux mourir en toi
J'ai les yeux grands ouverts
Mais je ne te vois pas
Tu me serres, et pourtant j'ai froid
J'entends battre ton cœur
Mais c'est plus comme avant
Avant je l'entendais dedans
Pourquoi m'as-tu chassé?
J'étais bien dans ton ventre
Je veux y retourner
J'ai peur et tu me manques
Et puis mourir en toi
Et puis me fondre en toi
Comme l'eau dans la terre
Le fleuve dans la mer
Je veux me perdre en toi
Et puis mourir en toi
Et puis me fondre en toi
Comme un vaisseau perdu
Je ne reviendrai plus
Je veux mourir en toi

Give Me Back That Old Familiar Feeling


Give Me Back That Old Familiar Feeling
Composer(s): Bill C. Graham
Performer(s): Glen Campbell;
Denny Doherty; Sara Gazarek;
Wayne Newton; Cliff Richard; The Whites



I keep waiting for a song to come and sing you back to me
I never felt so free as when I had you
Our rhythm was the best that's touched the likes of me
I was really me when I had you

Give me back that old familiar feeling
It left me feeling like I was someone
Give me back the song we sang in harmony
Just you and me singing together

My radio still plays the songs you like to hear
I wish you were here; oh, I need you
I'll take the time and tune the station in real clear
As if you were here; oh, I love you

Give me back that old familiar feeling
It left me feeling like I was someone
Give me back the song we sang in harmony
Just you and me singing together

Give me back that old familiar feeling
It left me feeling like I was someone
Give me back the song we sang in harmony
Just you and me singing together

Give me back that old familiar feeling
It left me feeling like I was someone
Give me back the song we sang in harmony
Just you and me singing together

Take My Breath Away


Take My Breath Away
Composer(s): Margo Smith
Performer(s): Margo Smith



I've been waitin', waitin' so long
For you to bring your love, where it belongs
Lord knows I've prayed,
Your body lying, in my arms

Now at last, you're next to me
About to give love, tenderly
And all I can say
Is baby, take my breath away

Take my breath away
And leave me breathless, helpless and weak
As you smother me with kisses
Till my lips no longer speak

And if I die, at least I'll have known
The true meaning of ecstasy
So go ahead
And take the breath right out of me

Take my breath away
And leave me breathless, helpless and weak
As you smother me with kisses
Till my lips no longer speak

(And you know something baby)
(If I was to die)
(There's one thing I'd know for sure)
(That we knew the meaning of ecstacy)
(So go ahead)
And take the breath right out of me

Mourir D'aimer


Mourir D'aimer
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
First release by: Charles Aznavour - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists

Versions In Other Languages:
1971 - Morire D'amore (Charles Aznavour)
1972 - To Die Of Love (Charles Aznavour)
2002 - Ik Hou Van Jou (André Hazes)



Les parois de ma vie sont lisses
Je m'y accroche mais je glisse
Lentement vers ma destinée
Mourir d'aimer

Tandis que le monde me juge
Je ne vois pour moi qu'un refuge
Toutes issues m'étant condamnées
Mourir d'aimer

Mourir d'aimer
De plein gré s'enfoncer dans la nuit
Payer l'amour au prix de sa vie
Pêcher contre le corps mais non contre l'esprit

Laissant le monde à ses problèmes
Les gens haineux face à eux-mêmes
Avec leurs petites idées
Mourir d'aimer

Puisque notre amour ne peut vivre
Mieux vaut en refermer le livre
Et plutôt que de le brûler
Mourir d'aimer

Partir en redressant la tête
Sortir vainqueur d'une défaite
Renverser toutes les données
Mourir d'aimer

Mourir d'aimer
Comme on le peut de n'importe quoi
Abandonner tout derrière soi
Pour n'emporter que ce qui fut nous, qui fut toi

Tu es le printemps, moi l'automne
Ton coeur se prend, le mien se donne
Et ma route est déjà tracée
Mourir d'aimer...

Take Me With You, Soldier Boy
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Shauna Hicks



Take me with you, soldier boy
Take me when you start
I won't take up too much space in your heart
I'll be with you, soldier boy
With you, night and day
And I promise not to get in your way

I know there's a job to do but somehow you will find
A soldier does a better job with a girl on his mind
Let me be your lucky charm when you cross the sea
Someday I'll return you safely to me

Sterven In De Zon


Sterven In De Zon
French Title: Mourir Au Soleil
Performer(s): Herman van Veen
(Originally performed by: Jean Ferrat)



Ik wil sterven in de zon
in een wei
groene wei
niet in een klam verkreukeld bed
waar al een kruis naast is gezet
zonder een bloem, zonder een bij
zonder een bij

Ik wil sterven in de zon
in een veld
korenveld
niet in een weeë wierookgeur
vol van gefluister aan de deur
terwijl een klok de uren telt
de uren telt

Ik wil sterven in de zon
op de hei
paarse hei
leeuwerik zing boven m'n land
hier neemt de dood mij bij de hand
de bramen in mijn mond zijn rijp
zoet en rijp

Give Me An Inch


Give Me An Inch
Composer(s): Robert Palmer
Performer(s): Robert Palmer; Hurricane



Give me an inch, girl
Give me an inch, girl
Give me an inch, girl
Give me an inch, girl

My eyes show me more than I've seen
But unlike my poor heart they're not cautious
I got to thinking love was a dream
Misunderstanding my fortunes
I should have taken more heed of my heart
Telling me how to live

But if you give me an inch, girl
I'll give you a mile
Oh, I'll make it all worth while
And I'll make you see
Just how much you mean to me

Well ain't it easy to go head-over-heels
When you need the right person
You got to learn to smile about it
Nothing you do will feel certain
Here I stand with my heart in command
And it's you I want to be with

Give me an inch, girl
I'm in need of you
Don't leave me in the cold
When I want to trust in you
Don't turn me away
Life can be a worry
When it's all work and no play

Give me an inch, girl
I'll give you a mile
Oh, I'll make it all worth while
And I'll make you see
Just how much
Just how much you mean to me
Give me an inch,
I'll give you a mile
And I'll make you see
Just how much, just how much you mean to me
Give me an inch, girl
Oh , I'm in need of you
Don't leave me in the cold
When I want to trust in you

You're sheer perfection (thank u)

Mourir Au Soleil


Mourir Au Soleil
Dutch Title: Sterven In De Zon
Composer(s): Jean Ferrat
Originally performed by: Jean Ferrat
Covered by: Herman van Veen



Je voudrais mourir debout, dans un champ, au soleil
Non dans un lit aux draps froissés
A l'ombre close des volets
Par où ne vient plus une abeille
Une abeille ...

Je voudrais mourir debout, dans un bois, au soleil
Sans entendre tout doucement
La porte et le chuchotement
Sans objet des femmes et des vieilles
Et des vieilles ...

Je voudrais mourir debout, n'importe où, au soleil
Tu ne serais pas là j'aurais
Ta main que je pourrais serrer
La bouche pleine de groseilles
De groseilles ...

Take Me To Your Heart Again


Take Me To Your Heart Again
Performer(s): Gracie Fields



Take me to your heart again
Let’s make a start again
Forgiving and forgetting
Take me to your heart again
And leave behind from then
Our life of long regretting
Dearest, let’s turn back the years
Let smiles come after tears
Like sunshine after rain
I’m yearning for you by night and by day
Praying I’ll soon hear you saying “I love you”
Then, we’ll never part again
If you will take me to your heart again

Dearest, let’s turn back the years
Let smiles come after tears
Like sunshine after rain
I’m yearning for you by night and by day
Praying I’ll soon hear you saying “I love you”
Then, we’ll never part again
If you will take me to your heart again

Mourir À Harlem


Mourir À Harlem
Composer(s): Nicolas Peyrac
Performer(s): Nicolas Peyrac



Mourir à Harlem
Mourir à Harlem
Blotti au fond d'une ruelle
Où les chiens n'ont jamais sommeil
Où les enfants crèvent de haine
À Harlem
À Harlem
Mourir à Harlem
Mourir à Harlem
Dans un paradis d'héroïne
Planté devant une vitrine
Qui ressemblerait à l'exil
À Harlem
À Harlem

Mourir à Harlem
Mourir à Harlem
D'avoir voulu chauffer ses ailes
Au soleil
De Harlem
De Harlem

Mourir à Harlem
Mourir à Harlem
Au paradis des privilèges
Où l'on assassinait les nègres
Quand les Blancs exauçaient leurs rêves
À Harlem
À Harlem
Mourir à Harlem
Mourir à Harlem
D'avoir trop voulu croire au ciel
Que les Blancs peignaient arc-en-ciel
Avant de quitter le soleil
De Harlem
De Harlem

Mourir à Harlem
Mourir à Harlem
Avec au fond du coeur ce blues
Noir et rouge
De Harlem

Mourir à Harlem
Mourir à Harlem
Blotti au fond de ce gospel
Qui ressemble tant à la haine
Quand il monte du coeur des chapelles
De Harlem
De Harlem
Mourir à Harlem
Mourir à Harlem
D'avoir eu du sang dans les veines
Qui soit presque couleur ébène
Couleur de souffrance et de haine
Presque les couleurs de Harlem
Harlem Harlem Harlem
Harlem

Take Me To The Top


Take Me To The Top
Composer(s): R. Nielsen - R. Zander
Performer(s): Cheap Trick



We go back a long long way
And it seems like yesterdaay
When the words are spoken
Or whispered in your ear
Things have changed since we first met
You alone are more than I expect
But the good outweighs the bad
By 110 per cent
You take me to the top
You're everything I've got
You catch me if I'm falling
Oh all the way
You take me to the top
You catch me if I'm falling oh
Some things go in circles
Something's in the air
You know just what I'm feeling
You can make the difference
You know I really care
You take me to the top
You're everything I've got
You catch me if I'm falling Oh all the way
You take me to the top
You catch me if I'm falling
Oh ah ah Oh
If I could dream a dream
With a happy end
You'd be in it every night
Again and again
Right here by my side
You'd never go away
But I'm awake
I sing I say
You take me to the top
You're everything I've got
You catch me if I'm falling
Oh all the way
You take me to the top
You catch me if I'm falling oh

Mountain Of Love


Mountain Of Love ((French Version: Les Monts Près Du Ciel (by Johnny Hallyday) - 1965)) Composer(s): Harold Dorman First release by: Harold Dorman - 1959 Covered by multiple other artists



Standing on a mountain looking down on a city
The way I feel is a doggone pity
Teardrops fallin' down a mountainside
Many times I've been here, many times I've cried
We used to be so happy when we were in love
High on a mountain of love

Night after night I'm a-standing here alone
Weepin' my heart out till cold gray dawn
Prayin' that you're lonely and you come here too
Hoping just by chance that I'll get a glimpse of you
Tryin' hard to find you, somewhere up above
High on a mountain of love

A mountain of love, a mountain of love, you should be ashamed
We used to be a mountain of love
But you just changed your name

Way down below there's a half a million people
Somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple
Inside a church there's an altar filled with flowers
Wedding bells are ringin' and they shoulda been ours
That's why I'm so lonely, my dreams gone above
High on a mountain of love

A mountain of love, a mountain of love, you should be ashamed
We used to be a mountain of love
But you just changed your name

Way down below there's a half a million people
Somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple
Inside a church there's an altar filled with flowers
Wedding bells are ringin' that shoulda been ours
That's why I'm so lonely
My dreams gone above
High on a mountain of love

High on a mountain of love
High on a mountain of love
High on a mountain of love

High on a mountain of love

Give Me A Little Old Fashioned Love
The kind that lingers through the years
The kind that's made by God up above

So, Give Me A Little Old Fashioned Love

From their head down to their little feet
But if you want some real good advice
The old fashioned girls just can't be beat

The kind that's made by God up above
Give Me A Little Old Fashioned Love

Ah Buddy now…

Now you can have the girls with worldly ways
That's had a dozen so called love affair
But, they'll never make me their slave
I want a simple girl that's on the square

So, Give Me A Little Old Fashioned Love
The kind that lingers through the years
The kind that's made by God up above
Just Give Me A Little Old Fashioned Love

Take Me To The River


Take Me To The River
Composer(s): Al Green - Teenie Hodges
First release by: Al Green - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists



I don't know why I love her like I do
All the changes you put me through
Take my money, my cigarettes
I haven't seen the worst of it yet
I wanna know that you'll tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Take me to the river, dip me in the water
Washing me down, washing me down

I don't know why you treat me so bad
Think of all the things we could have had
Love is an ocean that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I would never regret

I wanna know that you'll tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Push me in the river, dip me in the water
Washing me down, washing me

Hug me, squeeze me, love me, tease me
Till I can't, till I can't, till I can't take no more of it
Take me to the water, drop me in the river
Push me in the water, drop me in the river
Washing me down, washing me down

I don't know why I love you like I do
All the troubles you put me through
Sixteen candles there on my wall
And here am I the biggest fool of them all

I wanna know that you'll tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river and drop me in the water
Dip me in the river, drop me in the water
Washing me down, washing me down

Mountain Greenery


Mountain Greenery
Composer(s): Richard Rogers; Lorenz Hart
Originally performed by: Sterling Holloway & Bobbie Perkins
Covered by various other artists



On the first of May, it is moving day
Spring is here, so blow your job
Throw your job away!
Now's the time to trust
To your wanderlust
In the city's dust you wait, must you wait
Just you wait.......!

In a mountain greenery
Where God paints the scenery
Just two crazy people together
While you love your lover
Let blue skies, be your coverlet
When it rains we'll laugh at the weather
And if you're good, I'll search for wood
So you can cook... while I stand looking
Beans could get no keener reception in a beanery
Bless our mountain greenery home!

Simple cooking means
More than French Cuisines
I've a banquet planned which is
Sandwiches and beans
Coffee's just as grand
With a little sand
Eat and you'll grow fatter, boy
`smatter boy? Huh, huh! `Atta boy

In a mountain greenery
Where God paints the scenery
Just two crazy people together
How-how-how-how-how we love sequestering
Where no pests are pestering
No dear momma holds us in tether
Mosquitoes here
Won't bite you dear
I'll let them sting, me on the finger!
Beans could get no keener reception in a beanery
Bless our mountain greenery
Far from life's machinery
Bless our mountain greenery home!
