Céline (Hugues Aufray)


Céline ((Dutch Version: Celine (Sanne) - 1994)) Composer(s): Hugues Aufray - Vline Buggy - Mort Schuman First release by: Hugues Aufray - 1966



Dis moi, Céline, les années ont passé
Pourquoi n'as tu jamais pensé à te marier?
De tout' mes sœurs qui vivaient ici
Tu es la seule sans mari

Non, non, non, ne rougis pas, non, ne rougis pas
Tu as, tu as toujours de beaux yeux
Ne rougis pas, non, ne rougis pas
Tu aurais pu rendre un homme heureux

Dis moi, Céline, toi qui es notre aînée
Toi qui fus notre mèr', toi qui l'as remplacée
N'as tu vécu pour nous autrefois
Que sans jamais penser à toi?

Non, non, non, ne rougis pas, non, ne rougis pas
Tu as, tu as toujours de beaux yeux
Ne rougis pas, non, ne rougis pas
Tu aurais pu rendre un homme heureux

Dis moi, Céline, qu'est il donc devenu
Ce gentil fiancé qu'on n'a jamais revu?
Est c' pour ne pas nous abandonner
Que tu l'as laissée s'en aller?

Non, non, non, ne rougis pas, non, ne rougis pas
Tu as, tu as toujours de beaux yeux
Ne rougis pas, non, ne rougis pas
Tu aurais pu rendre un homme heureux

Mais non, Céline, ta vie n'est pas perdue
Nous sommes les enfants que tu n'as jamais eus
Il y a longtemps que je le savais
Et je ne l'oublierai jamais

Ne pleure pas, non, ne pleure pas
Tu as toujours les yeux d'autrefois
Ne pleure pas, non, ne pleure pas
Nous resterons toujours près de toi
Nous resterons toujours près de toi

Foreplay/Long Time


Foreplay/Long Time
Composer(s): Tom Scholz
Performer(s): Boston; Smokin'



It's been such a long time
I think I should be goin', yeah
And time doesn't wait for me, it keeps on rollin'
Sail on, on a distant highway
I've got to keep on chasin' a dream
I've gotta be on my way
Wish there was something I could say

Well I'm takin' my time, I'm just movin' on
You'll forget about me after I've been gone
And I take what I find, I don't want no more
It's just outside of your front door

It's been such a long time
It's been such a long time

Well I get so lonely when I am without you
But in my mind, deep in my mind
I can't forget about you
Good times, and faces that remind me
I'm tryin' to forget your name and leave it all behind me
You're comin' back to find me

Well I'm takin' my time, I'm just movin' on
You'll forget about me after I'v e been gone
And I take what I find, I don't want no more
It's just outside of y our front door

It's been such a long time
It's been such a long time

Yeah
It's been such a long time
I think I should be goin', yeah
And time doesnt wait for me, it keeps on rollin'
There's a long road, I've gotta stay in time with
I've got to keep on chasin' that dream, though I may never find it
I'm always just behind it

Well I'm takin' my time, I'm just movin' along
Takin' my time, just movin' along
Takin' my time, takin' my time...

The Girl I Loved Out In The Golden West


The Girl I Loved Out In The Golden West
Composer(s): Charles Avril - C.H. Scoggins



Twilight shadows come and go
In the evening's sunset glow
And the birds are singing goodnight in the dell
And I hear the robin trill
In its nest beneath the hill
Singing melodies my sad heart knows so well
While I listen in the glow
Of pale moon rising slow
I hear a voice of one I long best
Tho' she left me long before
Yet I see her as of yore
The girl I loved out in the golden west

Just like children running wild
For no care our world defiled
And our laughter echoed load among the hills
And we rambled in the dell
Near the spot I loved so well
When I think of her my heart with sadness fills
For one day down by the brook
'Neath a cool and shady nook
She laid her golden head upon my breast
It was there her first sweet kiss
Filled my raptured soul with bliss
The girl I loved out in the golden west

Once again I feel the spell
But no words of mine can tell
I can see her grave beneath the mountain crest
And I'm keeping green the place
Where tonight I see the face
Of the girl I loved out in the golden west

Céline (Edith Piaf)


Céline
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Edith Piaf



Sont trois jeunes garçons
S'en allant à la guerre
S'en allant à la guerre
Tout droit en regrettant
Tout droit en regrettant
Bien leurs maîtresses

Le plus jeune des trois
Regrettait bien la sienne
Regrettait bien la sienne
Et il a bien raison
C'est la plus jolie fille
De tous les environs

Le bon soldat s'en va
Trouver son capitaine
"Bonjour, mon capitaine
Donnez-moi mon congé
Pour allez voir Céline
Qui ne fait que pleurer..."

Son capitaine répond
Comme un homme de guerre
Ton joli passeport
Va t'en, va voir ta fille
Tu reviendras d'abord

Puis le galant s'en va
Au château de son père
"Bonjour mon père, ma mère
Bonjour mes chers parents
Sans oublier Céline
Que mon cœur aime tant"

Son père lui répond
"Mais ta Céline est morte
Mais ta Céline est morte
Est morte en t'appelant
Son corps est dans la terre
Son âme, au Paradis"

Puis le galant s'en va
Pleurer dessus sa tombe
"Céline, ma Céline
Parle, parle, parle-moi!
Mon cœur se désespère
De jamais plus te voir..."
Céline lui répond
"Ma bouche est pleine de terre
Ma bouche est pleine de terre...
La tienne est pleine d'amour!
Je garde l'espérance
De te revoir un jour..."

Le bon soldat s'en va
Trouver son capitaine
"Bonjour, mon capitaine!
Me voici de retour
Puisque Céline est morte
Je servirai toujours..."

Foreign Sand


Foreign Sand
Composer(s): Roger Taylor; Yoshiki
Performer(s): Roger Taylor



Here we go - ain't it grand
Here we stand on foreign sand
And we're not alone

Why do we fear what we don't understand
Can't we reach out our hand to try just say 'hello'
Try to plant a seed - fulfil the need - to make it grow - just say hello
And when you're far from home try to learn from all you see
Your eyes will tell you everything you need

Why do we dread what we really don't know
Come not as concubine - come not as foe
Come with intentions clearly shown
Try to plant a seed - fulfil the need - to make it grow - just say
hello
And though you're far from home try to learn from all you see
Your mind will tell you everything you need - everything you need

Here we go ain't it grand
Here we stand on foreign sand
And we're not alone

Red, yellow, black and white
Every man stand in the light - stand not alone

It's not a lie - it's not a shame we play for keeps - it's not a scam
No bigotry - we're hand in hand - it ain't a cinch - we make a stand
We learn to live on foreign sand
Just say hello

Why do we despise when we can't even speak
We keep on spreading lies
As far as we know it's the only way to be
Try to plant a seed - fulfil the need - to make it grow - just say
hello
And though you're far from home try to learn what you could be
Your heart will tell you everything you need
even though you stand here you stand on foreign sand
Ain't it grand here we stand
On foreign sand
Together we stand
Here we stand
On foreign sand

Celia


Celia Composer(s): Phil Ochs Performer(s): Phil Ochs



When the wind from the island is rollin' through the trees When a kiss from a prison cell is carried in the breeze That's when I wonder how sad a man can be Oh, when will Celia come to me? I still remember the mountains of the war Sierra Madre and the Philipino shore When will I lie beside my Celia 'neath the trees? Oh, when will Celia come to me? So many years were stolen, so many years are gone And the vision of my Celia make dreams to dream upon Each hour is a day filled with memories Oh, when will Celia come to me? I wake each morning and I watch the sun arise Wonder if my Celia sleeps, wonder if she cries If hate must be my prison lock, love must be the key Oh, when will Celia come to me? The guns have stopped their firing, you may wander through the hills They kept my Celia through the war, they keep her from me still She waits upon island now, a prisoner of the sea Oh, when will Celia come to me? When the wind from the island is rolling through the trees When a kiss from a prison cell is carried in the breeze That's when I wonder how sad a man can be Oh, when will Celia come to me? Oh, when will Celia come to me?

Celeste Nostalgia


Celeste Nostalgia Composer(s): Riccardo Cocciante - Mogol Audio 2 Performer(s): Riccardo Cocciante



Avevi ragione tu Mia cara... la vita non dura mai una sera il tempo di una follia, è breve e fugge via, e poi cosa rimane dentro noi, questa celeste nostalgia questo saperti da sempre ancora, ancora mia Il bene profondo non si offende si spegne se è il caso e poi riaccende passione violenta sia, comprendimi amica mia... tu puoi tutto normale tra di noi, cara celeste nostalgia dolce compagna di storie d'amore sempre mia Vederti un istante sopra un treno partire su altro e andar lontano un lampo negli occhi ciao, d'accordo fa male ciao... ma tu dentro di me, non muori più, azzurra celeste nostalgia qualche parola affettuosa, è un po' poco però per noi, forse no Amore mio grande amica mia cara celeste nostalgia... un'ora un giorno, una vita che cosa vuoi che sia... resti mia

Ford Econoline


Ford Econoline
Composer(s): Nanci Griffith
Performer(s): Nanci Griffith



She drove west from Salt Lake City to the California coastline
She hit the San Diego Freeway doing sixty miles an hour
She had a husband on her bumper
She had five restless children
She was singing sweet as a mockingbird in that Ford Econoline

She's the salt of the earth
Straight from the bosom of the Mormon church
With a voice like wine
Cruising along in that Ford Econoline
Now her husband was a gambler, he was a Salt Lake City rambler
He built a golden cage around his silver-throated wife
Too many nights he left her crying with his cheating and his lying
But his big mistake was him buying her that Ford Econoline

She's the salt of the earth
Straight from the bosom of the Mormon church
With a voice like wine
Cruising along in that Ford Econoline
Now her husband was a gambler, he was a Salt Lake City rambler
He built a golden cage around his silver-throated wife
Too many nights he left her crying with his cheating and his lying
But his big mistake was him buying her that Ford Econoline

She's the salt of the earth
Straight from the bosom of the Mormon church
With a voice like wine
Cruising along in that Ford Econoline
Now her husband was a gambler, he was a Salt Lake City rambler
He built a golden cage around his silver-throated wife
Too many nights he left her crying with his cheating and his lying
But his big mistake was him buying her that Ford Econoline

Now she sings her songs around this country
From Seattle to Montgomery
Those kids are grown and that rounder knows
You cannot cage your wife
Along the back roads of our nation, she's become a living legend
She drives a Coupe DeVille but her heart rides still
In that Ford Econoline
She drives a Coup DeVille but her heart rides still
In that Ford Econoline

The Girl From Yesterday


The Girl From Yesterday
Composer(s): Glenn Frey - Jack Tempchin
Performer(s): Eagles



It wasn't really sad the way they said good-bye
Or maybe it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry
He packed his things, walked out the door and drove away
And she became the girl from yesterday

He took a plane across the sea to some foreign land
She stayed at home and tried so hard to understand
How someone who had been so close could be so far away
And she became the girl from yesterday

She doesn't know what's right
She doesn't know what's wrong
She only knows the pain that comes from waiting so long
And she doesn't count the teardrops
That she's cried while he's away
Because she knows deep in her heart
That he'll be back someday

The light's on in the window; she's waiting by the phone
Talking to a memory that's never coming home
She dreams of his returning and the things that he might say
But she'll always be the girl from yesterday
Yeah, she'll always be the girl from yesterday

Celery Stalks At Midnight


Celery Stalks At Midnight Composer(s): Carl Sigman - Will Bradley - George Harris Performer(s): Will Bradley & His Orch. and multiple other artists



Celery stalks at midnight
Lurking in the moonlight
What's this funny nightmare
All about

Celery stalks at midnight
Mounted on their broomsticks
Gliding through the treetops
In and out

It's like a bad dream
A crazy kind of mad dream
Must have been something that I ate
No doubt

Celery stalks at midnight
Lurking in the moonlight
What's this very funny nightmare
All about

Força Estranha


Força Estranha
Composer(s): Caetano Veloso
Performer(s): Roberto Carlos;
Brazil Inc.; Gal Costa; Caetano Veloso



Eu vi o menino correndo, eu vi o tempo
Brincando ao redor do caminho daquele menino
Eu pus os meus pés no riacho e acho que nunca os tirei
O sol ainda brilha na estrada e eu nunca passei

Eu vi a mulher preparando outra pessoa
O tempo parou para eu olhar para aquela barriga
A vida é amiga da arte, é a parte que o sol me ensinou
O sol que atravessa essa estrada que nunca passou

Por isso uma força me leva a cantar
Por isso essa força estranha
Por isso é que eu canto, não posso parar
Por isso essa voz tamanha

Eu vi muitos cabelos brancos na fronte do artista
O tempo não pára e no entanto ele nunca envelhece
Aquele que conhece o jogo do fogo, das coisas que são
É o sol, é o tempo, é a estrada, é o pé e é o chão

Eu vi muitos homens brigando, ouvi seus gritos
Estive no fundo de cada vontade encoberta
E a coisa mais certa de todas as coisas não vale um caminho sob o sol
É o sol sobre a estrada, é o sol sobre a estrada, é o sol

Girl From Ipanema Goes To Greenland
Composer(s): Kate Pierson - Keith Strickland - Robert Meriwether Waldrop - Cindy Wilson - Ricky Wilson - Fred Schneider
First release by: The B-52's - 1986



Girl from Ipanema, she goes to Greenland
Girl from Ipanema, she goes to Greenland

Witch doctors are screaming
Nymphs are dreaming
This girl's lost someone
Who is that someone
She's leaving

Girl from Ipanema, she goes to Greenland
Girl from Ipanema, she goes to Greenland

Hot latitudes, cool attitudes
She's leaving
Moon in her mirror
Chasing northern lights
She goes, ahhh

Girl from Ipanema, she goes to Greenland

Remember, wherever you go
There you are

Girl from Ipanema, she goes to Greenland
Girl from Ipanema, she goes to Greenland

Celebration Of The Year


Celebration Of The Year Composer(s): John Pantry Performer(s): John Pantry; The Fortunes



The celebration of the year, oohooh

There's a time for forgetting all the things that she's done wrong
And the time for regretting the getting along before
When you're standing on your own it's not at all the way you planned
And no-one new is there and see
When you're wishing she come home 'cause she would understand
Then there would be

The celebration of the year, oh my love
The celebration, that my dear, would be ours

But sometimes I get to thinking maybe I was in the wrong
(Maybe I was in the wrong)
And if only I can see you now then we would get along
But I know I'm only dreaming and that I can hope to find
The same girl that I loved before
And that there could only be her to other girls I'm blind
Wish I was sure

The celebration of the year, oh my love
The celebration, that my dear, would be ours

The celebration of the year, oh my love
The celebration, that my dear, would be ours

Forbidden Love (Teddy Johnson & Pearl Carr)


Forbidden Love
Composer(s): John Elliott; Harold Spina
Performer(s): Teddy Johnson & Pearl Carr



They say your lips can never quite be mine
I mustn't kiss your trembling lips divine
That you must be forbidden love to me
Such sweet forbidden ecstasy to me
It isn't fair to want you as I do
And be denied the loveliness of you
Your haunting eyes have put the stars to shame
Your tender sighs have set my soul aflame
But you're not mine so you must ever be
Forbidden love, forbidden love to me

Your tender sighs have set my soul aflame
But you're not mine so you must ever be
Forbidden love, forbidden love to me

The Girl Can't Help It


The Girl Can't Help It
Composer(s): Bobby Troup
First release by: Little Richard and His Band - 1956
Covered by multiple other artists



If she walks by the men all stand engrossed
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
If she winks an eye bread slices turn to toast
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
Yes, she's got a lot of what they call the most
She can't help it, the girl can't help it

The girl can't help it if she was born to please
And if she's got a figure made to squeeze
Oh won't you kindly be aware
The girl can't help it

She mesmerizes every mother's son
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
And if she smiles their steak becomes well done
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
She makes grampa feel like twenty-one
She can't help it, the girl can't help it

The girl can't help it if she was born to please
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
And if I go to her on bended knees
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
Oh won't you kindly be aware that I can't help it
Just can't help it
'Cause oh, I'm hopin' obviously
That someday the answer will be
The girl can't help it if she's in love with me

She walks by the men all stand in rows
Yes she winks an eye...
Yes she's got a lot of what they call the most

Well, the girl can't help it if she was born to please
And if she's got a figure made to squeeze
'Cause oh I'm hopin' obviously
That someday the answer will be
The girl can't help it if she's in love with me

Celebration Day


Celebration Day Composer(s): John Paul Jones - Jimmy Page - Robert Plant First release by: Led Zeppelin - 1970



Her face is cracked from smilin'
All the fears that she's been hidin'
and is seems that pretty soon, everybody's gonna know
And her voice is sore from shoutin'
Cheerin' winners who are losin'
and she wonders if their days are few
and soon they'll have to go

My, my, my, I'm so happy, I'm gonna join the band
We're gonna dance and sing in celebration
We're in the promised land

She hears them talk of new ways to protect the home she lives in
then she wonders what it's all about
when they break down the door
Her name is Brown or White or Black, you know her very well
You hear her cries of "mercy" as the winners toll the bell

My, my, my, I'm so happy, I'm gonna join the band, yeah
We're gonna sing and dance in celebration
A-we're in the promised land

Oh, there is a train that leaves the station
headed for your destination
but the price you pay to nowhere has increased a dollar more
Yes, it has
And if you walk you're gonna get there
although it takes just a little longer
and when you see 'em in the distance
you will wring your hands and moan

Oh, yeah, you'll moan
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you will moan
You're gone, you're gone, you're gone, yeah
You're gone, yeah
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
You are gone, you are gone, my, my, yeah

If you walk, you're gonna get there
although it takes a little longer
and when you see them in the distance
you will wring your hands and moan

Forbidden Love (Andy Williams)


Forbidden Love
Composer(s): Steve Allen
Performer(s): Andy Williams



Forbidden love, this love of ours is wrong
A hidden love that cannot last for long
We have no right to happiness like this
So let your tears erase my every kiss
We must forget this love that could not be
Though had we met when both our hearts were free
We might have built a world worth dreaming of
But now goodbye and bless you, my forbidden love

We might have built a world worth dreaming of
But now goodbye and bless you, my forbidden love
But now goodbye and bless you, my forbidden love
