Je Suis Un Soir D'Été
Je Suis Un Soir D'Été
English Title: I Am A Summer's Eve
Composer(s): Jacques Brel
Performer(s): Jacques Brel
Et la sous-préfecture
Fête la sous-préfète
Sous le lustre à facettes
Il pleur des orangeades
Et des champagnes tièdes
Et les propos glacés
Des femelles maussades
De fonctionnarisés
Je suis un soir d'été
Aux fenêtres ouvertes
Les dîneurs familiaux
Repoussent leurs assiettes
Et disent qu'il fait chaud
Les hommes lancent des rots
De chevaliers teutons
Les nappes tombent en miettes
Par-dessus les balcons
Je suis un soir d'été
Aux terrasses brouillées
Quelques buveurs humides
Parlent de haridelles
Et de vieilles perfides
C'est l'heure où les bretelles
Soutiennent le présent
Des passants répandus
Et des alcoolisants
Je suis un soir d'été
De lourdes amoureuses
Aux odeurs de cuisine
Promènent leur poitrine
Sur les flancs de la Meuse
Il leur manque un soldat
Pour que l'été ripaille
Et monte vaille que vaille
Jusqu'en haut de leurs bas
Je suis un soir d'été
Aux fontaines les vieux
Bardés de références
Rebroussent leur enfance
A petits pas pluvieux
Ils rient de toute une dent
Pour croquer le silence
Autour des filles qui dansent
A la mort d'un printemps
Je suis un soir d'été
La chaleur se vertèbre
Il fleuve des ivresses
L'été a ses grand-messes
Et la nuit les célèbre
La ville aux quatre vents
Clignote le remords
Inutile et passant
De n'être pas un port
Je suis un soir d'été

Quando sono solo
sogno all'orizzonte
e mancan le parole
si lo so che non c'e luce
in una stanza quando manca il sole
se non ci sei tu con me, con me
su le finestre
mostra a tutti il mio cuore
che hai acceso
chiudi dentro me
la luce che
hai incontrato per strada
Sarah:
When I'm alone
I dream of the horizon
and words fail me
There is no light
in a room where there is no sun
and there is no sun if you're not here with me, with me
From every window
unfurl my heart
the heart that you have won
Into me you've poured the light
the light that you found by the side of the road
Time to say goodbye (Con te partirò)
paesi che non ho mai
veduto e vissuto con te
adesso si li vivro
con te partirò
su navi per mari
che io lo so
no no non esistono piu
it's time to say goodbye (con te io li vivro)
Time to say goodbye
Places that I've never seen or
experienced with you
now I shall
I'll sail with you
upon ships across the seas
seas that exist no more
I'll revive them with you
Quando sei lontana
sogno all'orizzonte
e mancan le parole
e io si lo so
che sei con me con me
tu mia luna tu sei qui con me
mia solo tu sei qui con me
con me con me con me
Andrea:
When you're far away
I dream of the horizon
and words fail me
and of course I know that you're with me, with me
you, my moon, you are with me
my sun, you're here with me
with me, with me, with me
Time to say goodbye (Con te partirò)
paesi che non ho mai
veduto e vissuto con te
adesso si li vivro
con te partirò
su navi per mari
che io lo so
no no non esistono piu
con te io li vivro
Con te partirò
su navi per mari
che io lo so
no no non esistono piu
con te io li vivro
Con te partirò
Time to say goodbye
Places that I've never seen or
experienced with you
now I shall
I'll sail with you
upon ships across the seas
seas that exist no more
I'll revive them with you
Both:
I'll go with you
upon ships across the seas
seas that exist no more
I'll revive them with you
I'll go with you
I'll go with you

I Can Dream About You
I Can Dream About You
Composer(s): Dan Hartman
First release by: Dan Hartman - 1984
Covered by multiple other artists
No more timing each tear that falls from my eyes
I'm not hiding the remedy to cure this old heart of mine
I can dream about you
If I can't hold you tonight
I can dream about you
You know how to hold me just right
Moving sidewalks, I don't see under my feet
Rising up from down here below where the streets see me lonely for you
I can dream about you
If I can't hold you tonight
I can dream about you
You know how to hold me just right
I don't understand it
I can't keep my mind off loving you
Ooo, now baby, I'm caught up in the magic I see in you
There's one thing to do
I can dream about you
If I can't hold you tonight
I can dream about you
You know how to hold me just right
Moving sidewalks, I don't see under my feet
Rising up from the pain in my heart, cause it's you that I need
I can dream about you
If I can't hold you tonight
I can dream about you
You know how to hold me just right

Je Suis Un Autre
Je Suis Un Autre
Composer(s): Georges Moustaki
Performer(s): Georges Moustaki
Je suis un débutant aux tempes qui blanchissent
Un beatnick vieillissant patriarche novice
Jardinier libertin aux goûts d'aventurier
Voyageur immobile et rêveur éveillé
Je suis de ces lézards qui naissent fatigués
Un optimiste amer un pessimiste gai
Un homme d'aujourd'hui à la barbe d'apôtre
Je peux être tout ça pourtant je suis un autre
Je suis toi je suis moi je suis qui me ressemble
Et je ressemble à ceux qui font la route ensemble
Pour chercher quelque chose et pour changer la vie
Plutôt que de mourir d'un rêve inassouvi
Avec eux je m'en vais partout où le vent souffle
Partout où c'est la fête et partout où l'on souffre
Mais lorsque je m'endors au creux des herbes hautes
Je me retrouve seul et je me sens un autre
Je suis venu ce soir la guitare à mon cou
Partager mes chansons et rêver avec vous
Crier d'une voix sourde toutes mes révoltes
Et parler de mes peines d'un air désinvolte
J'ai laissé au vestiaire un reste de pudeur
Pour mieux me découvrir devant les projecteurs
Et chanter les amours qui sont un peu les vôtres
Qui sont les miennes même si je suis un autre

Time To Kill
Time To Kill
Composer(s): Lionel Bart - Mike Pratt - Tommy Steele
Performer(s): Tommy Steele
Time to kill
Well it's 'round about a million hours of ill
I've got a certain date at eight
That's almost a day away
Time to kill
What to do
Till that moment I look forward to
I walk the pavements all alone
Miss the cracks in every stone
Time to kill
Everywhere I see the time staring down at me
Will it never be the time that I long to see
Fast clocks, slow clocks
Go clocks, go clocks
Time to kill
Time, time, endless time to kill
I'm on the move and time is standin' still
Can't think of one more thing to do
What did Rip Van Winkle do
Time, time, time to kill
Tick-tock, tick away the day
Soon come the time I won't care what to say
Oh, hurry, hurry, I can't wait
Till I make that date at eight
I got time to kill
Time to kill
Time to kill
Oh-ooh, oh-oh-oooh...

I Can Do Without You
I Can Do Without You
Composer(s): Sammy Fain; Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): Doris Day
and multiple other artists
In the Summer you’re the Winter
In the finger you’re the splinter
In the banquet you’re the stew
Say, I could do without you
In the garden you’re the gopher
In the Levi’s you’re the loafer
Like an overturned canoe
Well, I could do without you
You can go to Philadelphia
Take a hack to Hackensack
Hey, I’ll never ring a bell fer yer
Or yell fer yer to come back
In the question you’re the why
In the ointment you’re the fly
Though I know some things are indefensible
Like a buck or two
If there’s one thing I can do without
I can do without you
In the barrel you’re a pickle
In the goldmine you’re a nickel
You’re the tack inside my shoe
Yes, I can do without you
In my bosom you’re a dagger
You’re a mangy carpetbagger
In the theatre you’re the ‘boo’
I can do without you
In the bullfrog you’re the croak
In the forest, poison oak…

Je Suis Toutes Les Femmes
Je Suis Toutes Les Femmes
Composer(s): Chris Michaelessi;
Lana Sebastian; Paul Sebastian
Performer(s): Dalida
Je suis toutes les femmes
Je vis vos joies et vos mélodrames
Je suis sentimentale et parfois femme fatale aussi
Que l'on me condamne si mon cœur s'enflamme
Devant les projecteurs
Qui me visent en plein cœur chaque nuit
Je suis toutes les femmes
Je chante je danse c'est tout un programme
Je suis reine du disco et l'amie de Pierrot aussi
Que l'on me pardonne lorsque je me donne
Et je vis mes chansons à travers les saisons de ma vie
Je suis toutes les femmes
J'aime les paillettes, les strass, les télégrammes
Les soirées de première puis la une et la der aussi
Et ma vie de star finit dans le noir
Quand les lumières s'éteignent
Et le silence règne dans la nuit
Je suis toutes les femmes
Je vis vos joies et vos mélodrames
Je suis sentimentale et parfois femme fatale aussi
Que l'on me condamne si mon cœur s'enflamme
Devant les projecteurs qui me visent en plein cœur
Chaque nuit
Je suis toutes les femmes
J'aime les paillettes, les strass, les télégrammes
Les soirées de première puis la une et la der aussi
Et ma vie de star finit dans le noir
Je suis toutes les femmes, je suis toutes les femmes
Je suis toutes les femmes, je suis toutes...
Les femmes, les femmes

Time To Cry
Time To Cry
Composer(s): Paul Anka
Performer(s): Paul Anka
When somebody leaves you, that's the time to cry
When you know you're lonely, you're not the one and only
Who will cry ?
When your heart is broken, that's the time to cry
When you know she's left you, you'll know that she has left you
So you can cry
Happiness is what I long for
Loneliness is why I cry
For you have made my heart a slave
And now it's up to you
When somebody leaves you, that's the time to cry
When you know she's left you, you'll know that she has left you
So you can cry

Ah-thinkin' 'bout guitars when I was just a kid
Just lookin' back on the things we did
Like hangin' round at the local hop
With my candy
and my soda pop
I guess I never really stood a chance
I liked the music
but I couldn't dance
I guess I've really learnt a lot since then
'Cause I can really do it now it's back again
Yeah
I can do it
I can do it
I can really move
From my head right down to my blue suede shoes
I can really make the groove
I can do it
I can do it
I can really move
I can really rock
ooh
I can do it
Dancin' was trouble thinkin' 'bout it now
I had no girl friend to show me how
I was too young to date
too old to wait.
It's kinda sad I was born too late
But like I said I learnt a lot since then
And I can really do it now
it's back again
I can do the jive
I can do the stroll
It's just another name for rock 'n' roll
Yeah
I can do it
I can do it
I can really move
Yeah
I can do it
yeah I can do it
yeah.
I can really rock
ooh
I can do it

Je Suis Seul Ce Soir
English Title: I'm So All Alone
Composer(s): Paul Durand;
Rose Noël; Jean Casanova
Performer(s): André Claveau;
and various other artists
Refrain:
Je suis seul ce soir
Avec mes rêves
Je suis seul ce soir
Sans ton amour
Le jour tombe, ma joie s'achève
Tout se brise dans mon coeur lourd
Je suis seul ce soir
Avec ma peine
J'ai perdu l'espoir
De ton retour
Et pourtant je t'aime encore et pour toujours
Ne me laisse pas seul sans ton amour
Je viens de fermer ma fenêtre
Le brouillard qui tombe est glacé
Jusque dans ma chambre il pénètre
Notre chambre où meurt le passé
Refrain
Dans la cheminée, le vent pleure
Les roses s'effeuillent sans bruit
L'horloge, en marquant les quarts d'heure
D'un son grêle berce l'ennui
Refrain
Tout demeure ainsi que tu l'aimes
Dans ce coin par toi dédaigné
Mais si ton parfum flotte même
Ton dernier bouquet s'est fané
Refrain

Time Rag
Time Rag
Composer(s): Joan Baez
Performer(s): Joan Baez
Ripping along towards middle age
And my music career kind of missed a page
Record sales began to drop
The management all began to hop
Not worry, they said, you'll see
What you need is some fresh publicity
Just give us a nod and we'll all leap
Towards putting you back at the top of the heap
I said, Fine, I'll give it a whack
I hung up the phone and I turned my back
Began daydreaming I was somebody else
When the phone jumped over from the wall to the shelf
We just had a break, this is really fine
We can make the January issue of Time
If you'll give us Monday, a week from today
From two to four, now what do you say?
I said, Time, Time mag, mag
You got me on the rag, rag
Take your insults about the queen
And shove them up your royal Timese machine
But I scribbled it down on the wall calendar
And wondered about my interviewer
Maybe he'd be just a real nice guy
Bright and sympathetic with a roving eye
We'd forget all about the assignment due
Formalities, photos, and the interview
We'd hop on into his big rent-a-car
Go for a lovely drive, not far.... maybe France
As the big day approached it slipped my mind
Till my secretary showed up at the house to remind
Me to switch into gear for the big coup de gras
The meeting with the man from the media
I swept the driveway and polished the phone
Put on a Kenzo knit in two-tone
Fluffed the pillows in the burgundy chair
Made up my eyes and brushed my hair... all in that order
When he called to say he was three hours late
My cheerful facade began to disintegrate
The photographer'd be even later still
She was hopelessly lost in the nearby hills
He arrived not exactly the man of my dreams
Not bad for a rep from the Timese machine
Asked me a wandering question or three
And I thought he was actually listening to me
And I said, Time, Time mag, mag
You got me on the rag, rag
Take your insults about the queen
And shove them up your royal Timese machine
Curious about his interest
I babbled my way through the worldwide list
Ireland, Chile and the African states
Poetry, politics and how they relate
Motherhood, music and Moog synthesizers
Political prisoners and Commie sympathizers
Hetero, homo and bisexuality
Where they all stand in the nineteen-seventies
Then suddenly it stopped and he started to lobby
Said, Tell me some inside stuff about Bobby
Bobby who? I smiled and said
And the Time man's face was laced with red
I know you guys used to know each other
I know you refer to him as being your brother
And I know that you know where he's coming from
I said, You know alot for being so Goddamned dumb
And I said, Time, Time mag, mag
You got me on the rag, rag
Take your insults about the queen
And shove them up your royal Timese machine
Well I never gave him quite what he came for
The inside story and it's really a shame
For I never made the January issue of Time
And just before I run out of words that rhyme
I really should tell you that deep in my heart
I don't give a damn where I stand on the charts
Not as long as the sun sinks into the west
And that's going to be a pretty serious test... of time

I Can Always Find A Little Sunshine In The Y.M.C.A.
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): John Wallowitch & Bertram Ross
Mother dear, I've just finished mess
And I'm here in the Y.M.C.A.
How I've missed your tender caress
Since the day when I marched away
But don't worry, dear, I'm contented here
What is more I'm feeling fine
Ev'rything's all right, dear, and ev'ry night
I will drop you a line
You can picture me ev'ry ev'ning
At the close of the day
Writing a little letter
In the Y.M.C.A.
Don't you worry, mother darling
For while the skies are gray
I can always find a little sunshine in the Y.M.C.A.

Composer(s): Bob Gallo; Ben E. King
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Je suis seul
Désespéré
Quand je les vois par la main
Tous les amoureux moi je sais bien
Cet amour là je ne le connaîtrai pas
Il ne sera jamais pour moi
Je suis seul
Désespéré
Tu as beau parler d'amour
Je suis seul presque toujours
Au milieu de mes tourments
Je me dis que tu me mens
La vie, la vie c'est bien joli
Moi j'ai peur d'être un jour trahi
Et ton amour, tu peux me jurer
Je sais bien qu'un jour tu me feras crier
Je suis seul
Je suis seul
Désespéré
Je suis seul
Désespéré

Time Passages
Time Passages
Composer(s): Al Stewart - Peter White
Performer(s): Al Stewart
It was late in December, the sky turned to snow
All round the day was going down slow
Night like a river beginning to flow
I felt the beat of my mind go
Drifting into time passages
Years go falling in the fading light
Time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight
Well I'm not the kind to live in the past
The years run too short and the days too fast
The things you lean on are the things that don't last
Well it's just now and then my line gets cast into these
Time passages
There's something back here that you left behind
Oh time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight
Hear the echoes and feel yourself starting to turn
Don't know why you should feel
That there's something to learn
It's just a game that you play
Well the picture is changing
Now you're part of a crowd
They're laughing at something
And the music's loud
A girl comes towards you
You once used to know
You reach out your hand
But you're all alone, in these
Time passages
I know you're in there, you're just out of sight
Time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight

Performer(s): Radi Ensemble
Wacht op mij, Mona Lisa
Ik moet van je scheiden gaan
Ik zal jou nooit vergeten
Al ben ik ver van jou vandaan

Onze liefde blijft bestaan
Kijk me aan, Mona Lisa
Ook het afscheid doet me pijn
Ik blijf steeds aan je denken
Eens zal ik weer bij je zijn
Wacht op mij, Mona Lisa
Eens zal ik weer bij je zijn
Als ik je weer ontmoet
Blijf ik bij jou
En dan word jij voorgoed
M'n kleine vrouw
Wacht op mij, Mona Lisa
Meisje, heb maar geen verdriet
'k Heb mijn hart aan jou gegeven
Lieveling, vergeet me niet
Wacht op mij, Mona Lisa
Lieveling, vergeet me niet
Een laatste kus nog, Mona Lisa
Meisje heb maar geen verdriet
Wacht op mij, Mona Lisa
Lieveling, vergeet me niet...

Je suis parti sans un adieu
Il valait mieux pour tous les deux
Laisse-moi te dire, laisse-moi te dire
Je t'aimais bien
Je suis parti
La mélodie elle est trop triste
Oh! c'est ma vie
Ecoute-là, écoute-là
Elle est pour toi
Je suis parti
Cette chanson
Je l'ai chantée en criant ton nom
Ne pleure pas, ne pleure pas
Elle est pour toi
Je suis parti sans oublier
La belle histoire que l'on se racontait
Je n'ai plus rien, je n'ai plus rien
C'est ma chanson, c'est ta chanson

Time Out
Time Out
Composer(s): John Kay - Rocket Ritchotte - Michael Wilk
Performer(s): John Kay & Steppenwolf
Up early in the morning, 'bout the break of day
Still huggin' that empty pillow where your baby used to lay
No time to think about the past, good god, it's time for you to run
Wake up your dreams will have to wait, no time for fun
And so it's always wait until tomorrow, always someday
Yeah, it's always sooner or later, never today
Why don't you take time out, why don't you take it slow
The race you run is never done, why don't you let it go
Why don't you take time out, why don't you make the time
When day is done, go have some fun or you'll loose your mind
Rough times in the heart of paradise, another crazy day
Trapped like a rat, you feel the heat while running thru the maze
No time to take a look around, jump into it, push until you drop
Watch out, the walls are closing in but you just can't stop
And so it's always wait until tomorrow, always someday
Yeah, it's always sooner or later, never today
Why don't you take time out, why don't you take it slow
The race you run is never done, why don't you let it go
You're playin' fast and loose, you play with loaded dice
But what you loose to win the golden goose, may be your life

I came, I saw, I conga'd
I came, I saw, I conga'd
It's plain to see you conquered me
Each time I shake a shoulder
I get a little bolder
A dance like this deserves a kiss
My sweet muchacha, when I gotcha in my arms
This Cuban hotcha adds so mucha to your charms
The bongos beat the rhythm, maracas shake it with `em
That Latin riff is too "terriff"
I came, I saw, I conga'd
I came, I saw, I conga'd
I can't dany it's got that I, yi, Conga
I, yi, Conga, I, yi, Conga, yi
