Camagüey


Camagüey
Composer(s): Agustín Lara
Performer(s): Javier Solís



Camagüey, tonito sabrosón, Camagüey, el golpe del cajón
va por mi vida sonando así: bom, bom, bom
Camagüey, tonito sabrosón, Camagüey, el golpe del cajón
va por mi vida sonando así: bom, bom, bom

Son que brinca en el timbal y juega en el ator del viejo cornetín
crin que peina el huracán flor de cabanacán en tropical festín
¡Ay! quién pudiera volver a saborear la miel que su boca entregó
quién pudiera estremecer su carne de mujer dorada por el sol

Por ella conocí los desengaños por ella será eterno mi dolor

Son tú la viste llorar de desesperación como la vio el jagüey
Son cómo voy a olvidar la divina emoción que me dio Camagüey

Fantasia


Fantasia
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



E se, de repente
A gente não sentisse
A dor que a gente finge
E sente
Se, de repente
A gente distraísse
O ferro do suplício
Ao som de uma canção
Então, eu te convidaria
Pra uma fantasia
Do meu violão

Canta, canta uma esperança
Canta, canta uma alegria
Canta mais
Revirando a noite
Revelando o dia
Noite e dia, noite e dia
Canta a canção do homem
Canta a canção da vida
Canta mais
Trabalhando a aterra
Entornando o vinho
Canta, canta, canta, canta
Canta a canção do gozo
Canta a canção da graça
Canta mais
Preparando a tinta
Enfeitando a praça
Canta, canta, canta, canta
Canta a canção de glória
Canta a santa melodia
Canta mais
Revirando a noite
Revirando o dia
Noite e dia, noite e dia

The Auld Meal Mill


The Auld Meal Mill
(Traditional)



When the hard day’s work is over
And the kye are in the byre
And the horse are in the stable
And the auld folk roond the fire
I gang slippin’ through the heather
Tae yon fairm ahent the hill
Jist tae see ma bonnie lassie
By the auld meal mill

She's got een like bramble berries
She's got cheeks like mountain haws
And her lips are red like cherries
She's the bonniest floo'er that blaws
How I weary for the lousin'
How I lang tae quit the drill
And gang aff tae see my lassie
By the auld meal mill

Noo the auld folk oft-times wonder
Whit could keep me oot sae late
And they never gang tae sleep
Until they hear me sneck the gate
But the auld man, he jalouses
When he sees me tak’ the hill
That I’m aff tae see ma lassie
By the auld meal mill

Calypso Italiano


Calypso Italiano Composer(s): Wanda Merrell - Lou Monte - Jacques Plante Performer(s): Dalida and multiple other artists



Calypso aie!
Calypso aie! calypso Italiano
Calypso si! calypso si! calypso Siciliano

Savez vous qu'un petit brin de folie
A soufflé sur toute l'Italie
Dans les rues les gens frétillent
Sur des airs venus des Antilles

Calypso aie! calypso aie! calypso Italiano
Calypso si! calypso si! calypso siciliano

Les mamas en faisant leur lessive
Portent des foulards aux couleurs vives
S'appelant d'un ton tranquille
Ma doudou, mon oiseau des îles

Calypso aie! calypso aie! calypso Italiano
Calypso si! calypso là! calypso siciliano

Le galant pour plaire a sa beejina
Ne vient plus lui jouer de mandolina
Elle préfère au barcarolle
Le tempo des chansons Créole

Calypso aie! calypso aie! calypso Italiano
Calypso si! calypso si! calypso siciliano

Mais un jour ce petit vent de folie
S'envolera loin de l'Italie
Remportant aux îles lointaines
Mille sérénades Napolitaine

Calypso aie! calypso aie! calypso Italiano
Calypso si! calypso siciliano...

Fantaisie Bleue


Fantaisie Bleue
Composer(s): Claude Lemesle; Michel Fugain
Performer(s): Michel Fugain



C'est bleu d'un bleu irrésistible
Je passe le ciel au crible
Pour trouver plus bleu impossible
C'est bleu que c'est en pas possible
C'est terrible
Je n'y vois que du bleu

C'est bleu d'un bleu irremplaçable
Je me sens incapable
De trouver plus bleu incroyable
C'est bleu que c'en est pas pensable
Formidable
Je vois la vie en bleu

C'est bleu tout au moins il me semble
Enfin ça te ressemble
C'est parfois si bleu que j'en tremble
Mon bleu allons dans notre champ bleu
Faire ensemble un gros bébé
tou bleu bleu
Si bleu que ça me trouble
J'ai dû boire du chirouble
J'y vois deux fois bleu
J'y vois double

C'est bleu d'un bleu irrésistible
Je passe le ciel au crible
Pour trouver plus bleu impossible
C'est bleu que c'est en pas possible
C'est terrible
Je n'y vois que du bleu

Fantaisie bleue

The Ashes Of My Heart


The Ashes Of My Heart
Composer(s): Jeff Branen - Arthur Lange



The day is dying, the years are flying
The while I'm sighing, because of you
I'm sad and lonely, I'm thinking only of someone's eyes of blue
Of someone's kisses too

Among the roses, where love reposes
My heart discloses, what you should know
Alone I sigh, dear
For you and I, dear, once loved each other so
'Twas in the long ago

In the ashes of my heart fires of love no longer burn
Still it seems I feel a start at the thought of your return
'Tho it's years since last we met and we're doomed to live apart
There's a spark of hope still burning
But it's buried somewhere in the ashes of my heart

Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)


Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)
Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Maurice Gibb; Robin Gibb
Performer(s): The Bee Gees; The Fever Boys



First I rise, then I fall
Seems like you don't want the love
Of this man at all
And it's sure been a lonely time
Right up to the time I met you
So if you take a love like mine
Be tender with my love
You know how easy it is to hurt me
Fanny, be tender with my love
'Cause it's all that I've got
And my love won't desert me

So you say to yourself, boy
You're out of your brain
Do you think I'm gonna stand here
All night in the rain?
And it's the start of a love affair
The moment when I first met you
And if you want I'll take you there

Be tender with my love
You know how easy it is to break me
Fanny, be tender with my love
'Cause it's all that I've got
And my love won't forsake me

With my love
Our love will seal it together
Oh, with our love
You made a promise
You'll always love me forever

Be tender with my love
You know how easy it is to break me
Fanny, be tender with my love
'Cause it's all that I've got
And my love won't forsake me

The Ash Grove (Llwyn On)


The Ash Grove (Llwyn On)
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Sarah Brightman



Yn Nyffryn Llwyn Onn draw mi welais hardd feinwen
A minnau'n hamddena 'rol byw ar y don
Gwyn ewyn y lli oedd ei gwisg, a disgleirwen
A'r glasfor oedd llygaid Gwen harddaf Llwyn Onn
A ninnau'n rhodiana drwy'r lonydd i'r banna
Sibrydem i'n gilydd gyfrinach byd serch
A phan ddaeth hi'n adeg ffarwelio a'r wiwdeg
Roedd tannau fy nghalon yng ngofal y ferch

[Down yonder green valley where streamlets meander
When twighlight is fading I pensively rove
Or at the bright moontide in solitude wander
Amid the dark shades of the lonely Ash Grove
'Twas there, while the blackbird was cheerfully singing
I first met that dear one the joy of my heart!
Around us for gladness the bluebells were ringing
Ah! then little thought I how soon we should part]
Cyn dychwel i borthladd wynebwn y tonnau
Ond hyfryd yw'r hafan 'rol dicter y don
Bydd melys anghofio her greulon y creigiau
Un felly o'wn innau 'rol cyrraedd Llwyn Onn
A thawel mordwyo wnaf mwyach a Gwenno
Yn llong fach ein bwthyn a hi wrth y llyw
A hon fydd yr hafan ddiogel a chryno
I'r morwr a'i Wenno tra byddwn ni byw

(Still glows the bright sunshine o'er valley and mountain
Still warbles the blackbird its note from the tree
Still trembles the moonbeam on streamlet and fountain
But what are the beauties of Nature to me?
With sorrow, deep sorrow, my bosom is laden
All day I go mourning in search of my love!
Ye echoes! oh tell me, where is the sweet maiden?
"She sleeps 'neath the green turf down by the Ash Grove")

Calypso (John Denver)


Calypso ((Dutch Version: Calypso (by Bart Kaëll) - 1998)) Composer(s): John Denver First release by: John Denver - 1975



To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean
to ride on the crest of a wild raging storm
To work in the service of life and living
in search of the answers of questions unknown
To be part of the movement and part of the growing
part of beginning to understand
Aye Calypso the places you've been to
the things that you've shown us, the stories you tell
Aye Calypso, I sing to your spirit
the men who have served you so long and so well
Hi dee ay-ee ooo doo-dle oh
oo do do do do do doo-dle ay yee
doo-dle ay ee
Like the dolphin who guides you, you bring us beside you
To light up the darkness and show us the way
For though we are strangers in your silent world
To live on the land we must learn from the sea
To be true as the tide and free as a wind swell
Joyful and loving in letting it be
Aye Calypso the places you've been to
the things that you've shown us
the stories you tell
Aye Calypso, I sing to your spirit
the men who have served you so long and so well
Hi dee ay-ee ooo doo-dle oh
oo do do do do do doo-dle ay yee
doo-dle ay ee
he dee Ay-ee
Hi dee oh ooo
hi dee ayee

The Army Goes Rolling Along


The Army Goes Rolling Along (aka "The Caisson Song" and "The Field Artillery Song")
Composer(s): Edmund L. Gruber



March along, sing our song, with the Army of the free
Count the brave, count the true, who have fought to victory
We’re the Army and proud of our name
We’re the Army and proudly proclaim

First to fight for the right
And to build the Nation’s might
And The Army Goes Rolling Along

Proud of all we have done
Fighting till the battle’s won
And the Army Goes Rolling Along

Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey!
The Army’s on its way
Count off the cadence loud and strong (Two! Three!)
For where e’er we go
You will always know
That The Army Goes Rolling Along

Valley Forge, Custer’s ranks
San Juan Hill and Patton’s tanks
And the Army went rolling along
Minute men, from the start
Always fighting from the heart
And the Army keeps rolling along

Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey!
The Army’s on its way
Count off the cadence loud and strong (Two! Three!)
For where e’er we go
You will always know
That The Army Goes Rolling Along

Men in rags, men who froze
Still that Army met its foes
And the Army went rolling along
Faith in God, then we’re right
And we’ll fight with all our might
As the Army keeps rolling along

Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey!
The Army’s on its way
Count off the cadence loud and strong (Two! Three!)
For where e’er we go
You will always know
That The Army Goes Rolling Along

Fanfare/Don't Dream It


Fanfare/Don't Dream It
Composer(s): Richard O'Brien
Performer(s): The Toronto Musical Review;
and various other artists



Dr. Frank-N-Furter:
Whatever happened to Fay Wray?
That delicate satin draped frame
As it clung to her thigh, how I started to cry
'Cause I wanted to be dressed just the same
Give yourself over to absolute pleasure
Swim the warm waters of sins of the flesh
Erotic nightmares beyond any measure
And sensual daydreams to treasure forever
Can't you just see it, whoo-ho-ho!
Don't dream it, be it
Don't dream it, be it

(Don't dream it, be it)
(Don't dream it, be it)
(Don't dream it, be it)
(Don't dream it, be it)
(Don't dream it, be it)
(Don't dream it, be it)
(Don't dream it, be it)
(Don't dream it, be it)
(Don't dream it, be it)

Dr. Von Scott:
Ach! We've got to get out of this trap
Before this decadence saps our wills
I've got to be strong and try to hang on
Or else my mind, may well snap
And my life will be lived
For the thrills

Dr. Frank-N-Furter: Don't dream it, be it
Brad: It's beyond me, help me, Mommy
Janet: God bless Lili St. Cyr

Calypso (Bart Kaëll)


Calypso ((Adapted from: Calypso (English Version) (by John Denver) - 1975)) Composer(s): John Denver - Johan Verminnen Performer(s): Bart Kaëll - 1998



We zeilen zo rustig doorheen kabbelend water
En denken nog niet aan 't gevaar van een storm
We zijn zo gelukkig, de zorgen voor later
We zien wel wat er ooit nog van komt
We zijn moe van de vragen en van de problemen
We willen dat iemand ons redt uit de nood

Vaar Calypso en klief de golven
Toon ons de wereld die jij verkent
Vaar Calypso, we willen jou volgen
Naar oorden die niemand van ons nu al kent
Hidiheeho...

Een groepje dolfijnen duikt voor het schip op
Tot groot jolijt van de zeelui aan boord
De zon aan de einder die moet straks verdwijnen
En kleurt de avond plots hevig fel rood
We zijn vrij als de wind, we kennen geen grenzen
De wereld is groot, veel groter dan groot

Vaar Calypso en klief de golven
Toon ons de wereld die jij verkent
Vaar Calypso, we willen jou volgen
Naar oorden die niemand van ons nu al kent

Vaar Calypso en klief de golven
Toon ons de wereld die jij verkent
Vaar Calypso, we willen jou volgen
Naar oorden die niemand van ons nu al kent
Hidiheeho...

Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud



Fanfan
Petite Fanfan, petite Fanfan je m'ennuie

Heureusement il y a Noël
Et les vacances de Pâques au Tréport
Heureusement que l'arc-en-ciel
Repeint les mâts des bateaux dans le port
J'espère que tu t'ennuies un peu de moi
Que tu n'as pas trop de copains
Mais si bien sûr tu as un peu de joie
Garde-m'en pour demain

Fanfan
Petite Fanfan, je m'ennuie
Dans mon lycée aux murs de pluie
J'entends les bruits qui font les étoiles
J'entends le cri du train de nuit
Qui prend mon lit et le trimballe
D'ici je vois comme au bout d'un tunnel
Le bleu de ta robe de pastel
Ô qu'il me soit bientôt donné le temps
De revoir Fanfan

Fandango Du Pays Basque


Fandango Du Pays Basque
Composer(s): André Tabet;
Gérard Carlier; Francis Lopez
Performer(s): Luis Mariano



Fandango du pays basque
Fandango simple et fantasque
Pour te danser dans les bras d'un garçon
Une fille ne dit jamais non!
Tout le pays est en fête
Et tout le monde est poète
Chacun ce soir ne pense qu'à l'amour
La montagne flirte avec l'Adour

{Refrain:}
Fandango ... Fandango...
Que rythment les bravos
Que répète l'écho
De Sare à Bilbao
C'est le chant des ruisseaux
C'est le chant des oiseaux
C'est le chant de l'amour Fandango!

Fandango du pays basque
Fandango simple et fantasque
C'est grâce à toi que l'on fait des folies
Qui sont bien le meilleur de la vie
Et combien de mariages
On a vu dans le village
Sur tes accents si joyeux et vibrants
Et ton rythme qu'on a dans le sang

{Refrain}

Fandango du pays basque
Fandango simple et fantasque
Les mains sur les tambourins bien entrain
Rythment ce refrain jusqu'au matin
Alors grands pèr's et grands mères
Ont des regards qui s'éclairent
En écoutant cet air du bon vieux temps
Ils revoient leur printemps de vingt ans!

{Refrain}
