Ma si' io sono qui
A dirvi cose per me importanti
E voi non lo sapete
Se son parole o sentimenti
Pero' non ha importanza
Se c'e' chi parla di incoerenza
Perche' io sono io a modo mio

Ho fatto quel che ho voluto
Sola con me guardando avanti
Rimpianti ne ho troppo pochi
Non e' il caso che li racconti
Ho avuto non ho avuto
Tutto perfetto tutto sbagliato
Pero' io sono io a modo mio

E anche se ho pianto un po'
Quell'esperienza mi ha fatto bene
Ho avuto chi non sbaglia mai
Ed ho saputo sputarli fuori
Io sono io e a modo mio non cambio mai

Ma si' io sono qui
A dirvi cose scritte da un altro
Pero' per darle a voi
Io le traduco le porto dentro
Cosi' non per vantarmi
Nessuno puo' rimproverarmi
Perche' io sono io a modo mio

Davanti a me c'e' un'altra idea
Piena o deserta io non lo so
Dentro di me la vita mia
Deserto fine di si' di no
Ma io sono io e a modo mio non cambio mai

C'e' un'altra idea mi dicesti
Ringrazio Dio d'essere io a modo mio

The Waiting


The Waiting
Composer(s): Tom Petty
First release by: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - 1981



Oh baby don't it feel like heaven right now
Don't it feel like something from a dream
Yeah I've never known nothing quite like this
Don't it feel like tonight might never be again
We know better than to try and pretend
Baby no one could'a ever told me 'bout this
I said yeah yeah

The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part

Well yeah i might have chased a couple women around
All it ever got me was down
Then there were those that made me feel good
But never as good as I'm feeling right now
Baby you're the only one that's ever known how
To make me wanna live like I wanna live now
I said yeah yeah

The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you get one more yard
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part

Oh don't let it kill you baby, don't let it get to you
Don't let it kill you baby, don't let it get to you
I'll be your bleedin' heart, I'll be your cryin' fool
Don't let this go too far
Don't let it get to you

Vivi, siempre vivi y ha sido así, mi vida
Entera Jamás, me arrepentí y
Fuí feliz, a mi manera

Yo siempre quise más un poco más
Como fuera
Y si me equivoqué fue a mi manera

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exception

Yo siempre quise más un poco más
Como fuera
Y si me equivoqué fue a mi manera

Con el amor, cuanto jugué
Sé que perdí, sé que gané
Pero la vida es siempre así y si lloré
También reí
Pero vivi, siempre viví a mi manera

For what is a man, what has he got
If not himself, then he has not

Pero la vida es siempre así y si
Lloré, también reí

The record shows, we took the blows
And did it my way

Dejé, sé que dejé por donde
Fuí, el alma entera
Errores cometí, pero al final pagué la cuenta

To think we've done all that
And may I say, not in a shy way

Y si me equivoqué fue a mi manera

Yes Julio, it was our way

The Waiter And The Porter And The Upstairs Maid


The Waiter And The Porter And The Upstairs Maid
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Bing Crosby, Mary Martin, Jack Teagarden
and multiple other artists



(BC)
As your genial host may I offer a toast
To the wine buying guest on my right
(Hooray for the wine buyer)
Yes drag out the cooking sherry for the old colonel
May his bank account grow heavy laden with dough
May he spend it in here every night
(Every night)
Seeing this night in its glory
You people so loyal, so true
Puts me in mind of a story

(MM)
Tell us about it, pray do-o-o-o-o-o

(BC)
The people in the ballroom were stuffy and arty
So I began to get just a little bit frayed
I sneaked into the kitchen, I dug me a party
The waiter

(JT)
And the porter

(MM)
And the second storey maid.

(BC)
I peeked into the parlour to see what was a-hatchin’
In time to hear the hostess suggest a charade

(MM)
But who was in the pantry a-laughin’ an’ scratchin’

(BC)
Oh.The waiter

(JT)
And the porter

(MM)
And the upstairs maid

(JT)
When they heard the music that the orchestra played

(MM)
The waiter and the porter grabbed a-hold of the maid

(BC)
Then they all proceeded to go into a clog

(All)
Hot diggedy dog.

(BC)
If ever I’m invited to some fuddy-duddy’s
I ain’t-a-gonna watch any harlequinade

(JT)
You’ll find him in the kitchen applaudin’ his buddies

(BC)
The waiter

(JT)
And the porter

(MM)
And the upstairs maid

(BC)
Well pardon me folks the roast is carved
The wine is served, why you look half starved

(JT)
Pardon me sir, may we be free

(JT & MM)
The kitchen guard is havin’ a jamboree

(MM)
I went and got a dish pan to use as a cymbal

(BC)
The porter found the regular glass that he played

(JT)
The fingers of the waiter were each in a thimble

(ALL)
You should-a heard the music that the combination made

(BC & MM)
Marchin’ through the kitchen to the pantry and back
Why, man, you should-a seen us, we were ballin’ the jack
Once a half an hour passed without any call

(JT)
Jack we had a ball

(MM)
The waltzes and mazurkas we hate ‘em, we spurn ‘em

(JT)
We got a lot of rhythms we wanna hear played

(BC)
Yes and we know who to go to when we want to learn ‘em

(All)
The waiter and the porter and the upstairs maid

Comme Des Roses


Comme Des Roses ((English Version: Like Roses (by Charles Aznavour)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Tout est venu si vite
Tout a été si grand, si beau, si fort, petite
Ma vie s'est embrasée d'une joie insolite
La joie simple de se comprendre
A travers des gestes et des mots tendres

Tout nous a pris en flammes
Illuminant nos yeux, nos coeurs, nos corps, nos âmes
En peu de jours tu es devenue femme
En peu de temps tu as changé mon existence
En insufflant en moi de ton adolescence

Plus rien ne m'est hostile
Moi qui n'étais sans toi qu'une forme immobile
Je coule dans tes bras comme des eaux faciles
Dociles, des eaux tranquilles

Tout me semble limpide
J'étais cerné d'ennui, de lois, de vide
Le bonheur est venu pour me servir de guide
Me tirer d'un passé qui sombre
Et m'encourager à sortir de l'ombre

Tout est fait d'harmonie
Notre ciel est plus haut, plus clair, plus pur, ma mie
Moi qui ne savais plus que faire avec ma vie
Moi qui vivais la nuit, moi qui dormais le jour

Je reprends goût à toutes choses
Et veux mettre à tes pieds
Chacun de mes instants
Comme des roses
Comme des roses mon amour

Rock You Like A Hurricane


Rock You Like A Hurricane
Composer(s): Klaus Meine;
Herman Rarebell; Rudolf Schenker
Performer(s): Scorpions;
and various other artists



It's early morning
The sun comes out
Last night was shaking
And pretty loud
My cat is purring
And scratches my skin
So what is wrong
With another sin
The bitch is hungry
She needs to tell
So give her inches
And feed her well
More days to come
New places to go
I've got to leave
It's time for a show

Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane

My body is burning
It starts to shout
Desire is coming
It breaks out loud
Lust is in cages
Till storm breaks loose
Just have to make it
With someone I choose
The night is calling
I have to go
The wolf is hungry
He runs to the show
He's licking his lips
He's ready to win
On the hunt tonight
For love at first sting

Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane

It's early morning
The sun comes out
Last night was shaking
And pretty loud
My cat is purring
It scratches my skin
So what is wrong
With another sin
The night is calling
I have to go
The wolf is hungry
He runs to show
He's licking his lips
He's ready to win
On the hunt tonight
For love at first sting

Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane

Wah, wah-a Watusi
C'mon and take a chance and get-a with this dance
Wah, wah-a Watusi
Oh, baby, it's the dance made-a for romance (shoo-bop, shoo-bop, ahh)

Wah, wah-a Watusi...

Oh, baby, it's the dance made-a for romance

Comme Des Étrangers


Comme Des Étrangers
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Un peu par lâcheté, un peu par lassitude
Sur la terre brûlée de tous nos jours heureux
Un peu par vanité, un peu par habitude
De peur de rester seuls, nous vivons tous les deux
Comme des inconnus qui n'ont rien à se dire
Comme des gens pressés qui se voient par hasard
Échangeant quelques mots dans un pâle sourire
Avec rien dans le cœur et rien dans le regard

Il ne nous reste rien que regrets et remords
Rien qu'un amour déjà mort
Nous ne sommes, quoi qu'on fasse
Que deux êtres face à face
Qui vivent comme des étrangers
Mais qu'est-il advenu du couple qui s'aimait?
Nous ne le saurons jamais
Car nous restons côte à côte
En nous rejetant les fautes
Et vivons comme des étrangers

Peut-être par pudeur, peut-être par faiblesse
Nous n'abordons jamais ce problème important
Et ridiculement figés par la détresse
Espérant l'impossible, nous tuons le temps
Le temps qui sûrement nous dévore et ravage
Ce rien de pureté contenu dans nos cœurs
Et nous sommes deux fous qui, croyant être sages
Se gorgent d'un passé qui lentement se meurt

Il ne nous reste rien que regrets et remords
Rien qu'un amour déjà mort
Nous ne sommes, quoi qu'on fasse
Que deux êtres face à face
Qui vivent comme des étrangers
Mais qu'est-il advenu du couple qui s'aimait?
Nous ne le saurons jamais
Car nous restons côte à côte
En nous rejetant les fautes
Et vivons comme des étrangers

Girl, close your eyes
Let that rhythm get into you
Don't try to fight it
There ain't nothing that you can
Relax your mind
Lay back and groove with mine
You gotta feel that heat
And we can ride the boogie
Share that beat of love

I wanna rock with you (all night)
Dance you into day (sunlight)
I wanna rock with you (all night)
Rock the night away

Out on the floor
There ain't nobody there but us
Girl when you dance
There's a magic that must be love
Just take it slow
Cause we got so far to go
You gotta feel that heat
And we can ride the boogie
Share that beat of love

I wanna rock with you (all night)
Dance you into day (sunlight)
I wanna rock with you (all night)
Rock the night away

And when the groove is dead and gone (yeah)
You know that love survives
So we can rock forever, on

I wanna rock with you
I wanna groove with you
I wanna rock with you
I wanna groove with you

I wanna rock (all night) with you girl (sunlight)
Rock with you, rock with you girl (yeah) (all night)
Dance the night away

Rock you into day (sunlight)
I wanna rock with you (all night)

Comme Dans Les Dessins De Folon


Comme Dans Les Dessins De Folon
Performer(s): Yves Duteil



Comme dans les dessins de Folon
Ceux qu'on aimait quittent la Terre
Le corps lourd et l'âme légère
Un peu plus graves à l'horizon

Dans leur pardessus de béton
Ceux qu'on aimait nagent en silence
Dans le temps sage de l'absence
Comme dans les dessins de Folon

On pourrait presque les toucher
De l'autre côté du papier
Fantômes gris des jours de peine
En long cortège de semaines

À rêver loin dans leur lumière
On pourrait presque enfin se taire

Comme dans les dessins de Folon
Il y a du rose et du vert pâle
Et des souvenirs bleu d'opale
Dans un champ vide de coton

Comme des bulles de savon
Prisonniers de la transparence
Ceux qu'on aimait doucement dansent
Comme dans les dessins de Folon

On pourrait presque s'envoler
Dans la lenteur de leur passé
Frôler d'un long battement d'ailes
L'exil sans fin qui les appelle

À rêver loin dans leur mystère
On pourrait presque enfin se perdre

Comme dans les dessins de Folon
Ceux qu'on aimait nagent à l'envers
Oiseaux de l'eau, poissons de l'air
Perdent le fil de nos saisons

Dans la brume de leur prison
Ceux qu'on aimait toujours s'effacent
Derrière les voiles de l'espace
Comme dans les dessins de Folon

Un jour on voudra leur parler
De l'autre côté du papier
On rêvera d'aubes plus pâles
D'éternité couleur d'opale

Un jour on se laissera faire
On glissera dans leur lumière

Comme dans les dessins de Folon...

Rock With The Caveman


Rock With The Caveman
Composer(s): Lionel Bart; Michael Pratt;
Tommy Steele; Frank Chacksfield
Performer(s): Tommy Steele;
Atlas Fret; Big Audio Dynamite



The old-time cave dweller lived in a cave
Here's what he did we he wanted a rave
He took a stick and he drew on the wall
Man, a fellah had to settle for
Rock with the caveman
Roll with the caveman
Shake with the caveman
Baby, make with the caveman, oh boy
Shake with the caveman
Stalactites, stalagmiite
Hold your baby very tight

His way with women was rather neat
He'd love a girl right off her feet
You know the lyric writers would never lie
It's where they got the sayin' "starry eyed"
Rock with the caveman
Roll with the caveman
Shake with the caveman
Make with the caveman, oh boy
Shake with the caveman
Stalactites, stalagmiite
Hold your baby very tight

Piltdown poppa sings this song
"Archaeology's done me wrong"
The British Museum's got my head
Most unfortunate 'cause I ain't dead
Rock with the caveman
Roll with the caveman
Shake with the caveman
Break with the caveman
Make with the caveman
C-a-v-e-m-a-n, Caveman!

The Voice (The Moody Blues)


The Voice
Composer(s): Justin Hayward
Performer(s): The Moody Blues



Won't you take me back to school
I need to learn the golden rule
Won't you lay it on the line
I need to hear it just one more time

Oh won't you tell me again
Can you feel it
Won't you tell me again
Tonight

Each and every heart it seems
Is bounded by a world of dreams
Each and every rising sun
Is greeted by a lonely one

Oh won't you tell me again
Can you feel it
Won't you tell me again
Tonight

'Cos out on the ocean of life my love
There's so many storms we must rise above
Can you hear the spirit calling
As it's carried across the waves
You're already falling
It's calling you back to face the music
And the song that is coming through
You're already falling
The one that it's calling is you

Make a promise take a vow
And trust your feelings it's easy now
Understand the voice within
And feel the changes already beginning

Oh won't you tell me again
Can you feel it
Won't you tell me again
Tonight

And how many words have I got to say
And how many times will it be this way
With your arms around the future
And your back up against the past
You're already falling it's calling you
On to face the music
and the song that is coming through
You're already falling
The one that it's calling is you

Each and every heart it seems
Is bounded by a world of dreams
Each and every rising sun
Is greeted by a lonely lonely one

Oh won't you tell me again
Can you feel it
Won't you tell me again
Tonight

Comme Au Premier Jour


Comme Au Premier Jour
Composer(s): P. Dorsay; H. Giraud
Performer(s): Dalida



Comme au premier jour toujours, toujours
Je me souviens du temps, du temps charmant
Ou sous le cerisier le cœur grisé tu m'as parlé d'amour

Comme au premier jour toujours, toujours
Je revois le matin ou 1e destin mettait sur mon chemin
Dans le creux de ta main mes plus beaux lendemains

Mon horizon mon rayon de soleil
C'est toi dès ton réveil qui fais ma plus jolie chanson
Comme au premier jour toujours, toujours
Le printemps refleurit quand tu souris
Et me donne la joie de te sentir à moi autant qu' au premier jour

Comme au premier jour toujours, toujours
Nous irons tous les deux heureux, heureux
Sur le même chemin cueillir des lendemains qui n'auront pas de fin

Mon horizon mon rayon de soleil
C'est toi dès le réveil qui fais ma plus jolie chanson

Comme au premier jour toujours, toujours
Enchaînés désormais à tout jamais grandira notre amour
Qui sera pour toujours plus fort qu'au premier jour

Well, My baby and me went out late Saturday night
I had my hair piled high and my baby just looked so right
Well, pick you up at ten, gotta have you home at two
Mama don't know what I catched off of you
But that's all right cause we're looking as cool as can be

Well, we found a little place that really didn't lood half bad
I had a whisky on the rocks
And change of a dollar for the jukebox
Well, I put the cold rock into that can
But all they played was disco, man
Come on, baby, baby, let's get out of here right away

We're gonna rock this town
Rock it inside out
We're gonna rock this town

We're gonna rock till you drop
We're gonna rock this town
Rock it inside out

Well, we're having a ball just 'a bopping on the big dance floor
Well, there's a real square cat, he looks a 1974
Well, he looked at me once, he looked at me twice
Look at me again and there's gonna be fight
We're gonna rock this town
We're gonna rip this place apart

We're gonna rock this town
Rock it inside out
We're gonna rock this town
Make' em scream and shout
Let's rock, rock, rock, man, rock
We're gonna rock till you pop
We're gonna rock till you drop

Rock this place apart

The Visit


The Visit
Composer(s): Bodie Chandler - Edward McKendry
First release by: The Cyrkle - 1967



She was here with me today
Walking softly holding hands
And I thought I heard her say
She loved me

As we walked I felt her eyes
Reaching deeply into mine
And I thought I heard her sigh
She loved me

And along the way we shared a thought or two
It seemed as if I knew her well
Then she leaned to me and as we gently kissed
I knew that moment my heart fell

She was here

Now I'm lost in wondering
As if waking suddenly
Was it real or just a dream
Where is she?

Was she really here today?
Or was I just drifting back
To the times I heard her say
She loved me

Was she really here today?
She loved me
She loved me

Comme Au Matin


Comme Au Matin
Composer(s): Nicolas Peyrac
Performer(s): Nicolas Peyrac



Comme au matin
Du premier matin
Comme au premier jour
Du premier amour
L'aube s'est levée
Encore étonnée
De voir qu'ici, rien, rien
N'avait changé
En ce temps-là
On disait tout bas
Qu'en l'an 2100
Y'aurait plus de vent
Plus de symphonies
Même plus de pluie
Que les hommes alors, auraient
Tout détruit

Oui mais de guerre en guerre l'amour est revenu
Pour gagner la dernière
Celle qu'on croyait perdue
Mais moi, je savais qu'un jour viendrait
Où les hommes referaient
Un univers arc-en-ciel

Comme au matin
Du premier chagrin
Comme aux premiers pleurs
Des premières peurs
Les hommes ont failli
Perdre la folie
Et laisser le monde
À jamais désuni

Oui mais de guerre en guerre l'amour est revenu
Pour gagner la dernière
Celle qu'on croyait perdue
Mais moi, je savais qu'un jour viendrait
Où les hommes referaient
Un univers arc-en-ciel

Un jour l'enfant
Repeindra de blanc
Les eaux et la mer
Même les frontières
Et l'eau des rivières
Sera comme hier
Et le monde, un jour, peut-être
Aura changé

Oui mais de guerre en guerre l'amour sera venu
Pour gagner la dernière
Celle qu'on croyait perdue
Mais moi, je savais qu'un jour viendrait
Où les hommes referaient
Un univers arc-en-ciel
Oui mais de guerre en guerre l'amour sera venu
Pour gagner la dernière
Celle qu'on croyait perdue
Mais moi, je savais qu'un jour viendrait
Où les hommes referaient
Un univers arc-en-ciel

Rock The Casbah


Rock The Casbah
Composer(s): The Clash
Performer(s): The Clash;
and various other artists



Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin' to the top
The shiek he drove his Cadillac
He went a' cruisnin' down the ville
The muezzin was a' standing
On the radiator grille

Chorus
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that craazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the shareef
Had cleared the square
They began to wail

Chorus

Now over at the temple
Oh! They really pack 'em in
The in crowd say it's cool
To dig this chanting thing
But as the wind changed direction
The temple band took five
The crowd caught a wiff
Of that crazy Casbah jive

Chorus

The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better eaarn your pay
Drop your bombs between the minarets
Down the Casbah way

As soon as the shareef was
Chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare

As soon as the shareef was
Outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed

Chorus

He thinks it's not kosher
Fundamentally he can't take it
You know he really hates it
