Come Closer To Me


Come Closer To Me
Composer(s): Osvaldo Farrés; Stewart
Performer(s): Nat King Cole and various other artists



Moonlight was made for a June night
And June nights were made, dear
for love and romance
For heavenly kisses, for lips sweet and tender
On this night of splendour
You're so far away

Come closer to me so I can see
heaven in your eyes
Come closer to me so I can be
close to Paradise

Thrill me with your kisses
Let me learn what bliss is
Kiss me once and then we'll kiss and kiss again
And life will be divine

Come closer my dear
So I can hear
music in my heart
I've waited so long to hear
the song that youre love will start

Darling I'll adore you
Live my life just for you
All I ask is this
please give me one more kiss
and whisper you'll be mine

Come closer to me ...

Río


Río
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Hoy se que no hay nada imposible
Anoche supe la verdad
Creí a mi alma inservible
Pero era cansancio vulgar, nada más

Tú eres un don de la brisa
Un ser de la resurrección
Un pájaro con una risa
Capaz de arrastrar a la noche hasta el sol

Río, río, río
Río de verdad
Como un animal
Que ha sido puesto en libertad

Río
Me dejo ir en mano alegre, voy previendo
Porque mañana, a lo mejor, hay un entierro
Y una mordida de pantera en lo más mío

Río
Y no es un desafío
A la vida del sueño
Es que vivo camino al cementerio

The Sun Goes Down


The Sun Goes Down
Composer(s): Phil Lynott - Darren Wharton
First release by: Thin Lizzy - 1983



There is a demon among us whose soul belongs in hell
Sent here to redeem us, she knows it all to well
He comes and goes, he comes and goes, she knows it all too well
But when all is said and done
The sun goes down

She tries her best to leave him, but she is still captured by his spell
She knows now she must deceive him, he knows it all to well
She comes and goes, she comes and goes, he knows it all too well
But when all is said and done
The sun goes down

She comes and goes, she comes and goes, he knows it all too well
But when all is said and done
The sun goes down

There is a demon within us
The sun goes down
She tries her best to deceive him
The sun goes down

Rings


Rings
Composer(s): Eddie Reeves; Alex Harvey
Performer(s): Cymarron;
and various other artists



Ring Ring telephone ring
Somebody said "Baby whatcha doing?"
I've been wondering how you've been
every now and then
I think about you and me

No use fighting 'bout things we can't recall
it don't matter now at all
baby come on home
and maybe we'll laugh and sing
we'll make love, and let the telephone ring

Ring Ring doorbell ring
Baby come on in
I got James Taylor on the radio
I'm glad you came around
Been feeling down talking to Tony and Mario

You know they make good conversation
Still it ain't no consolation
Baby I got love
And maybe I'll give you some
and if somebody comes
we'll let the doorbell ring

Ring Ring golden ring
Around the sun, around your pretty finger
Ring Ring let the voices ring
with a happy tune anybody can be a singer

The sun comes up across the city
I swear you never looked so young and pretty
Hand in hand

We'll stand upon the sand with the preacher man
Let the wedding bells ring
and let the telephone ring
and let the doorbell ring

The Sun Died


The Sun Died
((Adapted from: Il Est Mort Le Soleil (Nicoletta) - 1967))
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë - Hubert Giraud - Ray Charles - Ann Grégory
Performer(s): Ray Charles - 1968
and multiple other artists



The sun died
The sun died, with my love
When you left me blue, the summer died too
My love and the sun, it's the same

The sun died
The sun died, with my love
And I'm so alone, and yet life goes on
But for me, there can be no more dawn

Yesterday, the coldest winter was like Spring
I thought my love would always stay
I thought our love would never end
But that was yesterday

The sun died
The sun died, with my love
And life's all in vain, in my heart there's rain
And I know that my soul won't stop crying

Yesterday, when I was looking in your eyes
I thought it was sweet paradise
For love completely changed my life
But that was yesterday

The sun died
The sun died, with my love
When you left me blue, the summer died too
My love and the sun, it's the same
My love and the sun, it's the same

Come Back When You Grow Up


Come Back When You Grow Up
Composer(s): Martha Sharp
Performer(s): Bobby Vee; Johnny Tillotson



Come back when you grow up, girl
You're still livin' in a paper-doll world
Livin' ain't easy, lovin's twice as tough
So come back, baby, when you grow up

You look real good like a woman now
Your mind hasn't gotten the message somehow
So if you can't take it 'n' the goin' gets rough
Come back, baby, when you grow up

I want you girl but your wide-eyed innocence
Has really messed up my mind, yeah-eah-eah
I'd rather you get your very first heartbreak
Somewhere else along the line

Come back when you grow up, girl
You're still livin' in a paper-doll world
Some day be a woman ready to love
Come back, baby, when you grow up

Come back when you grow up, girl
You've still got a lotta time left in the world
You'll some day be a woman ready to love
Come back, baby, when you grow up

Ringo


Ringo
Composer(s): Hal Blair; Don Robertson
Performer(s): Lorne Greene;
and various other artists



He lay face down in the desert sand
Clutching his six-gun in his hand
Shot from behind, I thought he was dead
But under his heart was an ounce of lead
But a spark still burned so I used my knife
And late that night I saved the life of Ringo

(Ringo ... Ringo ...)

I nursed him till the danger passed
The days went by, he mended fast
Then from dawn till setting sun
He practised with that deadly gun
And hour on hour I watched in awe
No human being could match the draw of Ringo

(Ringo ... Ringo ...)

One day we rode the mountain crest
And I went east and he went west
I took to law and wore a star
While he spread terror near and far
With lead and blood he gained such fame
All through the West they feared the name of Ringo

(Ringo ... Ringo ...)

I knew someday I'd face the test
Which one of us would be the best
And sure enough the word came down
That he was holed up in the town
I left the posse out in the street
And I went in alone to meet Ringo

(Ringo ... Ringo ...)

They said my speed was next to none
But my lightning draw had just begun
When I heard a blast that stung my wrist
The gun went flying from my fist
And I was looking down the bore
Of the deadly .44 of Ringo

(Ringo ... Ringo ...)

They say that was the only time
That anyone had seen him smile
He slowly lowered his gun and then
He said to me "We're even, friend"
And so at last I understood
That there was still a spark of good in Ringo

(Ringo ... Ringo ...)

I blocked the path of his retreat
He turned and stepped into the street
A dozen guns spit fire and lead
A moment later, he lay dead
The town began to shout and cheer
Nowhere was there shed a tear for Ringo

(Ringo ... Ringo ...)

The story spread throughout the land
That I had beaten Ringo's hand
And it was just the years, they say
That made me put my guns away
But on his grave they can't explain
The tarnished star above the name of Ringo

(Ringo ... Ringo ...)
(Ringo ... Ringo ...)

Loneliness is the cloak you wear
A deep shade of blue is always there
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love... ba-a-a-a-by

Emptiness is the place you're in
Nothing to lose but no more to win
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love

Lonely, without you, baby
Girl, I need you
I can't go o-o-o-o-on

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
The tears are always clouding your eyes
(Sun ain't gonna shine anymore)
When you're without love... ba-a-a-a-by

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore...

Come Back To Sorrento

Performer(s): Dean Martin - 1951
and multiple other artists



Sunlight dances on the sea
Tender thoughts occur to me
I have often seen your eyes
In the nighttime when I dream
When I pass a garden fair
And the scent is in the air
In my mind a dream awakes
And my heart begins to break
But you said goodbye to me
Now all I can do is grieve
Can it be that you forgot?
Darling forget me not!
Please don't say farewell
And leave this heart that's broken
Come back to Sorrento
So I can mend

Ringard Pour Le Reggae


Ringard Pour Le Reggae
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers



Tu voudrais hurler mais t'es queen
Tu voudrais être in t'es has been
Tu voudrais mordre mais tu lèches
Tu voudrais déchirer mais tu caresses
Tu voudrais cogner mais tu mouilles
Tu voudrais dénoncer tu magouilles
Tu voudrais t'éclater mais la mèche est mouillée

T'es un ringard pour le reggae
T'es un zonard qu'a des papiers
T'es un loubard des beaux quartiers
Rock and roll et parfum anglais

Tu voudrais vivre tu fonctionnes
Tu voudrais suivre tu t'cramponnes
Tu voudrais aimer tu adores
Tu voudrais dévorer tu picores
Tu voudrais être Cream and the Square
Tu voudrais Marylin mais c'est trop cher
Tu voudrais des pavés mais tout est moquetté

Y a des patins dans les idées
Y a des strass sur tes croix gammées
T'es un kid de l'avenue Mozart
Un hell's angel d'la rue Mouffetard

T'es un ringard pour le reggae
T'es un zonard qu'a des papiers
T'es un loubard des beaux quartiers
Rock and roll et parfum anglais

Ich Bau Dir Ein Schloss


Ich Bau Dir Ein Schloss
Composer(s): G. Kaleta; H. Hee; W. Roloff
Performer(s): Heintje



Ich bau dir ein Schloss, so wie im Märchen
Da wohn ich mit dir, dann ganz allein
Ich bau dir ein Schloss, wenn ich einst gross bin
da kannst du dort wohn und glücklich sein

Der blaue Himmel schaut auf uns herab
sagt dir jeden Tag, wie lieb ich Dich hab
Und alle Wolken zieh'n so schnell vorbei
am Traumschloss für uns zwei

Ich bau dir ein Schloss, du wirst schon sehen
bald bin ich schon gross, dann zieh'n wir ein
Wo Blumen für Dich im Garten stehen
da wird jeder Tag ein Sonntag sein

Der blaue Himmel schaut auf uns herab
sagt dir jeden Tag, wie lieb ich Dich hab
Und alle Wolken zieh'n so schnell vorbei
am Traumschloss für uns zwei
am Traumschloss für uns zwei

Ring, Ring, I've Got To Sing


Ring, Ring, I've Got To Sing
Performer(s): Ferre Grignard



Well, don't cry my baby
Don't you cry all the while
Don't cry my baby
Just give me a smile
Seen my daddy die in the war
Seen my mama a-die crying for him

Ring, ring
Well, I've got to sing
Ring, ring
Well, I've got to sing
De dam dadda de day …….

They call me a hounddog
They call me a liar
It's all 'cause of my colour
They want me to hide
They're talking about freedom
Of religion and race
But if you are a negro
They slap you in the face
So what are you fighting for
They send 'm off to sea
Well, I couldn't stand more words
I'm gonna stop free
Well, I'm still happy
So don't cry my babe
Together we'll just try for
Being free people some day

Le Soleil Ne Brille Plus


Le Soleil Ne Brille Plus
((Adapted from: The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Anymore) (Frankie Valli) - 1965))
((Italian Version: Il Sole Non Tramonterà (The Casuals) - 1966))
Composer(s): Bob Crewe - Bob Gaudio - Richard Anthony
Performer(s): Richard Anthony - 1966



Je n'ai plus que des jours sans joie
Des matins brumeux où tout est froid

Le soleil ne brille plus dans le ciel
La lune a perdu tout son éclat
La vie est monotone et sans joie
Quand on est sans amour

Pourquoi?

La tristesse ne me quitte pas
Y a plus d'espoir quand l'amour s'en va

Le soleil ne brille plus dans le ciel
La lune a perdu tout son éclat
La vie est monotone et sans joie
Quand on est sans amour

Si seul dans les rues vides
J'ai besoin de toi, reviens vers moi

Le soleil ne brille plus dans le ciel
La lune a perdu tout son éclat
La vie est monotone et sans joie
Le soleil ne brille plus dans le ciel
Quand on est sans amour

Pourquoi?

Le soleil ne brille plus dans le ciel
Le soleil ne brille plus dans le ciel
Le soleil ne brille plus dans le ciel
Le soleil ne brille plus dans le ciel

Come Back To Playland With Me


Come Back To Playland With Me
Composer(s): Maud Lambert



The lovelight is bright in your eye, dear
Mem'ries are bringing you joy
I know you are thinking of childhood
The land of the girl and the boy
Come let's have day dreams together
Wander once more hand in hand
Back to those days with their boy and girl ways
Playmates in dear old Playland

Let's visit the old fashioned haunts, dear
Travel on memories train
And soon we'll be strolling through childhood
Our hearts will be glad once again
Let's linger long o'er each fancy
Each one will bring joy and sublime
Each passing year will enfold charms so dear
Playmates at dear old Playtime

Playland, Playland
Land of nursery rhymes
Boys and girls in golden curls
"Ring a rosey" times
Childish games we played, dear
When our hearts were free
Mem'ries embraces will bring old faces
So come back to Playland with me

Ring Ring


Ring Ring
Composer(s): Benny Andersson; Stig Anderson;
Phil Cody; Neil Sedaka; Björn Ulvaeus
Performer(s): ABBA;
and various other artists



I was sitting by the phone
I was waiting all alone
Baby by myself I sit and wait and wonder about you
It's a dark and dreary night
Seems like nothing's going right
Won't you tell me honey how can I go on here without you?

Yes I'm down and feeling blue
And I don't know what to do, oh-oh

Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

You were here and now you're gone
Hey did I do something wrong?
I just can't believe that I could be so badly mistaken
Was it me or was it you?
Tell me, are we really through?
Won't you hear me cry and you will know that my heart is breaking

Please forgive and then forget
Or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh

Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Oh-oh, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

In The Summer Of His Years


In The Summer Of His Years
Composer(s): David Lee - Herbert Kretzmer
Performer(s): Connie Francis; Millicent Martin



A young man rode with his head held high
Under the Texas sun
And no one guessed
That a man so blessed
Would perish by the gun
Lord, would perish by the gun

A shot rang out like a Southern shout
And Heaven held its breath
For a man shot down
In a Southern town
In the summer of his years
Yes, the summer of his years

And we who stay mustn't ever lose
The victories that he's won
For wherever "man" looks to Freedom's past
His soul goes riding on
Lord, his soul goes riding on!

Come Back To Arizona


Come Back To Arizona
Composer(s): Alfred Bryan; Herman Paley



Arizona, wild and free you're always dear to me
I love you true
Sun kissed meadows of the west
the one I love the best she loves you too
But my heart is sad today
my heart is far away
I'm all alone can't you hear me calling you
Oh! won't you come back home?

When the sunset fades away each night
alone I stay with aching heart
And the night winds seem to sigh
"Why did you say goodbye why did we part?"
Tho' the town is gay tonight and lights are burning bright I'm feeling blue
Waiting hearts grow weary dear but mine will wait for you

Come back to Arizona where the skies are blue
Come back where you can own a heart that waits for you, so lonely
Come little girl put my love to the test
come to the best little nest in the west
Come back to Arizona
I love you

Ring Of Fire


Ring Of Fire
Composer(s): June Carter Cash; Merle Kilgore
Performer(s): Johnny Cash



Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell in to a ring of fire...

I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire

The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire went wild...

I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
