Yann Et Les Dauphins


Yann Et Les Dauphins
Composer(s): Étienne Roda-Gil; Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc



Savez-vous ce que racontent
Les dauphins des grandes mers
Une histoire de ce monde
Mais d'un autre univers
Tout près d'un port des Flandres
Il y a bien longtemps
Yann avait un navire
Mais n'avait pas seize ans

{Refrain:}
N'est pas pirate qui veut
Sur la grande mer du Nord
N'est pas heureux qui veut
Dans la grande course au trésor

Yann fit son équipage
De fuyards encerclés
De forbans les plus louches
Et de filles damnées
Quand ils furent au large
Toutes voiles dehors
Yann et son équipage
Proclamèrent l'Age d'Or

{Refrain}

Sur le pont du navire
Toujours il y avait bal
On buvait sans être ivre
On aimait sans carnaval
Vingt vaisseaux de dix empires
Coulèrent Yann un soir
On entendait claquer des rires
Parmi les voiles noires

Avec son équipage
Il partit lentement
Vers d'autres rivages
Chevauchant les grands dauphins blancs
C'est l'histoire que racontent
Les dauphins à leurs enfants
Yann avait un navire
Mais n'avait pas seize ans

Mais n'est pas pirate qui veut...

Algo Pequeñito


Algo Pequeñito
First performance by: Daniel Diges - 2010



Algo pequeñito, algo chiquitito
Una rosa blanca, una caricia, un beso dulce y un perdón
Algo pequeñito, algo chiquitito
Un gesto tierno, una mirada, un abrazo o una flor

Algo pequeñito, algo chiquitito
Un simple te quiero, con dulzura, con cariño y con pasión
Es lo que te pido amor, mi vida se derrumba, me partes el corazón
Trata pronto de cambiar, el tiempo se termina ahora de verdad

Algo pequeñito
Algo chiquitito
Cosas simples que ahora no me das
Que te pido con locura si no quieres terminar

Algo pequeñito
Algo chiquitito
En tus manos tienes la ocasión
Hoy decides si quererme o romperme el corazón

Algo pequeñito, algo muy bonito
Tu pelo al viento que se enreda entre mis manos al calor
Has sabido comprender que las pequeñas cosas son las que hacen esto arder
Ahora trata de cambiar que el resto de las cosas ya se arreglarán

Algo pequeñito
Algo chiquitito
Cosas simples que ahora si me das
Que te quiero con locura y siempre yo te voy a amar

Algo pequeñito
Algo chiquitito
En tus manos tienes la ocasión
Decidiste tú quererme y no romperme el corazón
Y no romperme el corazón

Algo pequeñito
Algo chiquitito
Cosas simples que ahora no me das
Que te pido con locura si no quieres terminar

Algo pequeñito
Algo chiquitito
En tus manos tienes la ocasión
Hoy decides si quererme o romperme el corazón

Yankee Whalermen


Yankee Whalermen
(Traditional)



Farewell and adieu to you Spanish ladies
Farewell and adieu to you ladies of Spain
For we've received orders to sail from New England
And we hope in a short time to see you again

Chorus:
We'll rant and we'll roar like true Yankee Whalermen
We'll rant and we'll roar on deck and below
Until we sight Gayhead off old Martha's Vineyard
And straight up the channel to New Bedford we'll go

We hove our our ship to with the wind from the sou'west, boys
We hove our our ship to deep soundings to take
'Twas 45 fathoms with light sandy bottom
We squared our main yard and up channel did make

Chorus

I went to a dance one night in Tombaz
There were plenty of girls there as fine as you wish
There was one pretty maiden a chewin' tobacco
Just like a young kitten a chewin' fresh fish

Chorus

Then the signal was sent for the grand ship to anchor
And all in the downs that night for to lie
Let go your shank painter, let go your cat stopper
Haul up your clew garnets, let tacks and sheets fly

Chorus

----------


Alternative Version:
Spanish Ladies (aka Farewell And Adieu To You)
(Traditional English Shanty)



Farewell and adieu to you fine Spanish ladies
Farwell and adieu all you ladies of Spain
For we've received orders to sail for old England
And perhaps we shall never more see you again

Chorus:
We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors
We'll range and we'll roam over all the salt seas
Until we strike soundings in the Channel of old England
From Ushant to Scilly 'tis thirty-five leagues

Then we hove our ship to, with the wind at sou'-west, my boys
Then we hove our ship to, for to strike soundings clear
Then we filled the main topsail and bore right away, my boys
And straight up the Channel of old England did steer

Chorus

So the first land we made it is called the Deadman
Next Ram Head off Plymouth, Start, Portland and the Wight
We sailed hy Beachy, by Fairly and Dungeness
And then bore away for the South Foreland light

Chorus

Now the signal it was made for the Grand Fleet to anchor
All on the Downs that night for to meet
Then stand by your stoppers, see clear your shank-painters
Haul all your clew garnets, stick out tacks and sheets

Chorus

Now let every man drink up his full bottle
Let every man drink up his full bowl
For we will be jolly and drown melancholy
With a health to each jovial and true-hearted soul

Chorus

And my world is cloudy and gray

But, like the weather ya changed
Now things are dreary, baby
And it's windy and cold
And I stand alone in the rain

Yankee Rose


Yankee Rose
Composer(s): David Lee Roth; Steve Vai
Performer(s): David Lee Roth; Enuff Z'nuff



(spoken)
What? Well let me roll up onto the sidewalk and take a look
Yes! Whoa! She's beautiful!
I'm talkin 'bout a Yankee Rose
And she looks wild, wild, wild!
Are you ready for the new sensation
Well here's a shot heard round the world
All you backroom boys salute
When her flag unfolds
Well, guess who's back in circulation
Now I don't know what you might have heard
But what I need right now's
The original good time girl

(chorus)
She's a vision form coast to coast (Coast to coast)
Sea to shining sea (Sea to shining sea)
Hey, sister you're the perfect host (Make a toast)
Show me your bright lights
And your city lights, all right
I'm talkin' about the Yankee Rose
(Bright lights) And your city lights, all right
I'm talkin' about it

When she walks
Watch the sparks go flyin'
Firecrackin' on the 4th of July
No sad songs tonight
Somethings in the air
Yeah, the feeling gets you
A real state of independence
So pretty when her rockets fly
Still provin' any night
That her flag's still there

(chorus)
I'm in love with the Yankee Rose


Oh, she's beatiful, alright
Mmm, nothin' like her in the whole world
Yeah!

She's right on time
I'm on the case
Pick up the phone
No time to waste
She got the beat
And there's a little bit
Comin' your way

(spoken)
Oh, raise 'em up there
Let's see who salutes, baby
Little bit, little bit, little bit higher
Here's the mast, swing 'em from here
I wanna get a little bit of apple pie, man

Bright lights, city lights
(repeat and fade)

Sunny, ce matin encore c'était l'hiver
Sunny, depuis que tu es là le ciel est plus clair
Il y a du soleil dans les rues sur les toits
Le printemps est revenu avec toi
Et je t'aime toujours, mon amour

Sunny, c'est déjà la fin de ma longue nuit
Sunny, à nouveau pour moi le soleil luit
J'ai eu des mauvais jours dans le vent et la pluie
J'avais si peur que tu m'oublies
Mais tu m'aimes toujours, mon amour

Sunny, tu m'as ramené tant de soleil
Sunny, le ciel est si bleu quand je m'éveille
Je me vois déjà aux vacances d'été
Les beaux jours durent toute l'année
Et je t'aime toujours, mon amour

Sunny, merci pour toutes les choses que je te dois
Sunny, pour tout le bonheur d'être avec toi
Oh merci pour le regard que tu poses sur moi
Et pour les images que j'y vois
Et je t'aime toujours, mon amour

Oh ! Sunny, ce matin encore c'était l'hiver
Sunny, depuis que tu es là le ciel est plus clair
Il y a du soleil dans les rues sur les toits
Le printemps est là avec toi
Et je t'aime toujours, mon amour

Yankee Go Home


Yankee Go Home
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Ya no entiendo nada lo que pasa aquí
el planeta está perdiendo la razón
a ninguna parte ya me dejan ir
todo el mundo dice: yankee go home
yankee go home, going home...

No sé por qué creen que tengo mala fe
con lo guapo y simpático que soy
yo sólo pretendo ser papá Noel
traigo cocacolas, tanques y el Playboy
yankee go home, going home...

Dicen que me vuelva a donde yo nací
que me quede para siempre en Oregón
pero a mi me gusta mucho más Madrid
porque allí cerquita está mi Torrejón
yankee go home, going home...

Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain
The dark days are gone, and the bright days are here
My Sunny one shines so sincere
Sunny one so true, I love you

Sunny, thank you for the sunshine bouquet
Sunny, thank you for the love you brought my way
You gave to me your all and all
Now I feel ten feet tall
Sunny one so true, I love you

Sunny, thank you for the truth you let me see
Sunny, thank you for the facts from A to C
My life was torn like a wind-blown sand
And the rock was formed when you held my hand
Sunny one so true, I love you

Sunny, thank you for the smile upon your face
Sunny, thank you for the gleam that shows its grace
You're my spark of nature's fire
You're my sweet complete desire
Sunny one so true, I love you

Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain...

Yankee Doodle Dandy


Yankee Doodle Dandy
Composer(s): George M. Cohan
Performer(s): James Cagney;
and various other artists



I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy
A Yankee Doodle, do or die
A real live nephew of my uncle Sam's
Born on the Fourth of July
I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart
She's my Yankee Doodle joy
Yankee Doodle came to London
Just to ride the ponies
I am a Yankee Doodle boy

I'm the kid that's all the candy
I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy
I'm glad I am
So's Uncle Sam
I'm a real live Yankee Doodle
Made my name and fame and boodle
Just like Mister Doodle did
By riding on a pony
I love to listen to the Dixey strain
"I long to see the girl I left behind me"
And that ain't a josh
She's a Yankee, by gosh
Oh, say can you see
Anything about a Yankee that's a phoney?

I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy
A Yankee Doodle, do or die
A real live nephew of my uncle Sam's
Born on the Fourth of July
I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart
She's my Yankee Doodle joy
Yankee Doodle came to London
Just to ride the ponies
I am a Yankee Doodle boy

Father's name was Hezikiah
Mother's name was Ann Maria
Yanks through and through
Red, white and blue
Father was so Yankee hearted
When the Spanish War was started
He slipped upon his uniform
And hopped up on a pony
My mother's mother was a Yankee true
My father's father was a Yankee too
And that's going some
For the Yankees, by gum
Oh, say can you see
Anything about my pedigree that's phoney?

I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy
A Yankee Doodle, do or die
A real live nephew of my uncle Sam's
Born on the Fourth of July
I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart
She's my Yankee Doodle joy
Yankee Doodle came to London,
Just to ride the ponies
I am a Yankee Doodle boy

Drip Drop (Safura)


Drip Drop
Composer(s): Anders Bagge - Stefan Örn - Sandra Bjurman First performance by: Safura - 2010



You are my man, you are my half
Tell me what's happening
I know something's wrong
I can tell when you lie
I can tell you've stopped trying

And these last three weeks passed and we barely talked
I think I know and it's breaking my heart
Am I in or am I out?

Can I love you forever through this?
Can I trust in you forever through this?
I don't know how to stop, how to stop

These teardro-o-ops
That drip drop, drip drop
Drip drop, drip drop
Whoah... whoah...

These teardro-o-ops
That drip drop, drip drop
Drip drop, drip drop
Whoah... whoah...

Tell me where have you been? Why are you late?
You smell like lipstick again
Come on, answer my question
Say something
Why are you acting out?

Oh, say it's in my head

Can I love you forever through this?
Can I trust in you forever through this?
I don't know how to stop, how to stop

These teardro-o-ops
That drip drop, drip drop
Drip drop, drip drop
Whoah... whoah...

I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna hear your name
If this is where it ends
I don't wanna run
Run away from myself
And be lost again...

(Can I love you forever through this?)
Oh no no no... oh no no no...
Can I trust in you forever through this?

I don't know (These teardro-o-ops)
I don't know (That drip drop, drip drop)
I don't know (Drip drop, drip drop)
Whoah... whoah...

Yankee Doodle


Yankee Doodle
Composer(s): Richard Shuckburgh
Performer(s): Young American All-Stars



Yankee Doodle went to town, a-riding on a pony
Stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni

Chorus

Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step and with the girls be handy

Father and I went down to camp along with Captain Gooding
And there we saw the men and boys, as thick as hasty pudding

There was Colonel Washington, upon a strapping stallion
A-giving orders to his men, I guess there was a million

And there I saw a cannon barrel as big as mother's basin
And every time they touched it off they scampered like the nation

Storm In A Teacup (The Fortunes)


Storm In A Teacup
(French Version: Dans La Vie Tout S'arrange - 1976)
Composer(s): Lynsey De Paul - Ronald Ernest Alfred Roker
First release by: The Fortunes - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists



Pitter, patter, pitter, patter

One drop of rain on your window pane
Doesn't mean to say there's a thunderstorm coming
The rain may fall
For an hour or more
But it doesn't matter
No, it doesn't matter

One gentle breeze blowing softly through the trees
Doesn't mean to say there's a hurricane humming
So don't start running
Every time you hear it coming
Cuz it doesn't matter
You know it doesn't matter

One little word that you may have overheard
Doesn't mean to say that my love for you is dying
So don't start crying over second-hand lying
Cuz it doesn't matter
No, it doesn't matter

It's a storm in a teacup
Brewing up double
All those tiny little troubles
It's a storm in a teacup
It really doesn't matter
If it pitter, pitter, patters all the day

Y'All Come Back Saloon


Y'All Come Back Saloon
Composer(s): Sharon Vaughn
Performer(s): The Oakridge Boys



She played tambourine with a silver jingle
and she must have known the word to at least a million tunes
but the one most requested by the man she knew as cowboy
was the late night benediction at the y'all come back saloon

In a voice soft and trembling
she'd sing her song to cowboy as a smokey halo circled round her raven hair
And all the fallen angels and pinball playing rounders
stopped the games that they'd been playing for the losers evening prayer

Faded love and faded memories how they linger in her mind
miles and years played the cowboy like and old melody out of tune and out of time

Every night in the shadows thinking back on Amarillo
he'd dream of better days and ask for faded love
lifting high his glass in honor of the lady and her song
he paid his check then lonely walked the broken cowboy home

Faded love and faded memories how they linger in her mind
miles and years played the cowboy like and old melody out of tune and out of time

Faded love and faded memories how they linger in her mind
miles and years played the cowboy like and old melody out of tune and out of time

We Don't Wanna Put In


We Don't Wanna Put In
Composer(s): Stephane Mgebrishvili
First performance by: Stephane & 3G - 2009



Some people tell you the stories
To drag you down to the knees
But let me tell you: don't worry
No worries, no worries

Another glass of my moonshine
Will kick the hell out of me
But let me focus on good stuff
Some good stuff, just good stuff

We don't wanna put in the negative move
It's killin' the groove
I'm a-tryin' to shoot in some disco tonight
Boogie with you

So many people are whining
They're freakin' all day long
The bitchin' will last forever
And ever, and ever

You better change your perspective
Your life won't be outta luck
A groovy sun will be rising
Be rising, it's rising

We don't wanna put in the negative move
It's killin' the groove
I'm a-tryin' to shoot in some disco tonight
Boogie with you

Boogie with you, boogie with you
Boogie with you, boogie with you
Boogie with you

I like all Europe countries and I love Europa
Say: give me sexy ah (Give me sexy ah)
Say: give me sexy ah (Give me sexy ah)

Put in
Don't wanna put in
We don't wanna put in
We don't wanna put in

We don't wanna put in the negative move
It's killin' the groove
I'm a-tryin' to shoot in some disco tonight
Boogie with you

We don't wanna put in the negative move
It's killin' the groove
I'm a-tryin' to shoot in some disco tonight
Boogie with you

We don't wanna put in

Composer(s): Arlie Duff
Performer(s): Bill Monroe;
and various other artists



When you live in the country everybody is your neighbor
On this one thing you can rely
They'll all come to see you and they'll never ever leave you
Y'all come to see us bye and bye
Y'all come (y'all come), y'all come (y'all come)
Oh, you all come to see us when you can
Y'all come (y'all come), y'all come (y'all come)
Oh, you all come to see us now and then

Now Grandma's a-wishing you'd come out the kitchen
And help do the dishes right away
Then they all start a-leaving, and though she's a-grieving
You can still hear grandma say

Y'all come (y'all come), y'all come (y'all come)
Oh, you all come to see us when you can
Y'all come (y'all come), y'all come (y'all come)
Oh, you all come to see us now and then

Storm


Storm
Composer(s): Shawn Phillips
Performer(s): Shawn Phillips



Every time I pass your place
I get an image of your face
And then I wonder what you're thinkin' of
As I look through the mist to your window above
And the clouds roll by
But the silver has tarnished for me in the sky
Minutes pass by and the mist starts drifting
And the rain starts falling
And the air gets cold
And I try to move away
But my feet won't let me
They stay right there
But I don't feel cold
I feel old
The wind is blowing and rain is pouring
And the sky is a mass of roiling figures
And their eyes flash fire
And it streaks across the heavens
And it sounds like a man being
Torn to shreds by desire

Yakety Yak
Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller
Performer(s): The Coasters;
and various other artists



Take out the papers and the trash
Or you don't get no spending cash
If you don't scrub that kitchen floor
You ain't gonna rock and roll no more
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

Just finish cleaning up your room
Let's see that dust fly with that broom
Get all that garbage out of sight
Or you don't go out Friday night
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

You just put on your coat and hat
And walk yourself to the Laundromat
And when you finish doing that
Bring in the dog and put out the cat
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

Don't you give me no dirty looks
Your father's hip; he knows what cooks
Just tell your hoodlum friend outside
You ain't got time to take a ride
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

Yakety yak, Yakety yak
Yakety yak, Yakety yak
Yakety yak, Yakety yak

(Fade)

Yakety yak, Yakety yak

Imagine you and me
We're flying above the sea
Feeling free in this love symphony

Imagine you and me
We're flying above the sea
Feeling free in this love symphony

Out of time, out of place
Somewhere inside my universe
Where you live your dreams

Imagine you and me
We're flying above the sea
Feeling free eternally
Like in this love symphony
