I'm Falling In Love With Someone


I'm Falling In Love With Someone
Composer(s): Victor Herbert; Rida Johnson Young
Performer(s): Nelson Eddy
and multiple other artists



I've a very strange feeling I've ne'er felt before
It's a kind of a grind of depression
My heart's acting strangely, it feels rather sore
At Least, it gives me that impression
My pulses beat madly without any cause
Believe me, I'm telling you truly
I'm gay without pause, then sad without cause
My spirits are truly unruly

For I'm falling in love with some one, some one girl
I'm falling in love with someone head a-whirl
Yes, I'm falling in love with someone plain to see
I'm sure I could love someone madly
If someone would only love me

Yes, I'm falling in love with someone plain to see
I'm sure I could love someone madly
If someone would only love me

Eva (Boudewijn de Groot)


Eva
Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot



Ik houd de wereld in mijn hand
Het glazen ei vol land en wolken
Ik zal de hemel gaan bevolken
Ik roep de varens uit het zand
Ik schud de apen uit mijn mouw
De spikkelpanters en de mieren
Het blauw konijn, de krabbeldieren
Ik strooi topaas azuur en dauw
Ik weet nu dat ik alles kan
Ik ken de dieren aan hun vel
De vogels aan hun notenspel
En ik geef namen aan de man

De verf die ik morste vliegt plots'ling in brand
't Palet valt vlammend uit mijn hand
De aarde zwaait open, ik zie haar lopen
In mijn eigen groene gras
Wil jij soms wit wezen, dat ik je niet ken
En dat ik niet almachtig ben
Jij wilt me vergeten, mijn vruchten eten
En me bedriegen met je man

Hier in je lichaam van albast
Zie ik de roze vlammen branden
En wat je wilt valt in je handen
Je hebt mijn wereld aangetast
Daar sluipt de groengevlekte kat
En heeft de merel al te grazen
De leguaan gaat bellen blazen
Kruipt op vijf poten over 't pad
De vleesboom rijst het water uit
En rinkelt met zijn glazen snaren
Er zit in de kristalpilaren
Een uil die schuine liedjes fluit

Hier sta ik voor zot in mijn kamerjapon
Ik dacht wel dat ik alles kon
En ben ik verdwenen, dan komt op zijn tenen
De engel met het grote mes

I'm Falling For You


I'm Falling For You
Composer(s): Joe Trafalgar Hubert; Clarence Williams; Joe Sanders Jr.
Performer(s): Clarence Williams Trio
and multiple other artists



I'm fallin' for you, I'll never be blue
What can I say and what can I do
Darlin' I'm fallin' for you

My friends all declare that it isn't fair
For you to say you really don't care
Darlin' I'm fallin' for you

Although I'm a fool dear
If there should come a time
There's only one thing that I'll ever ask
If the maker will make you mine

For you're tops in my world
My love is unfurled
No I'm not a clown, my love is just down
Darlin', I'm fallin' for you

Darlin', I'm fallin' for you

Although I'm a fool dear
If there should come a time
There's only one thing that I'll ever ask
If the maker will make you mine

For you're tops in my world
My love is unfurled
No I'm not a clown, my love is just down
Darlin', I'm fallin' for you

First release by: Chaka Khan - 1978
Covered by multiple other artists



I'm every woman, it's all in me
Anything you want done, baby
I'll do it naturally
I'm every woman, it's all in me
I can read your thoughts right now
Every one from A to Z

I can cast a spell
With secrets you can't tell
Mix a special brew
Put fire inside of you
But anytime you feel
Danger or fear
Instantly I will appear, 'cause

I'm every woman, it's all in me
Anything you want done, baby
I'll do it naturally
I'm every woman, it's all in me
I can read your thoughts right now
Every one from A to Z

I can sense your needs
Like rain on to the seeds
I can make a rhyme
Of confusion in your mind
And when it comes down
To some good old fashioned love
That's what I've got plenty of, 'cause

I'm every woman, it's all in me
Anything you want done, baby
I'll do it naturally
I'm every woman, it's all in me
I can read your thoughts right now
Every one from A to Z

I ain't braggin' 'cause I'm the one
You just ask me ooh and it shall be done
And don't bother to compare
'Cause I've got it
I've got it, I've got it, yeah

I'm every woman (repeat)

European Son


European Son
Composer(s): John Cale - Sterling Morrison - Lou Reed - Maureen Tucker First release: The Velvet Underground & Nico - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists



You killed your European son
You spit on those under twenty-one
But now your blue car’s gone
You better say so long
Hey hey, bye bye bye

You made your wallpapers green
You want to make love to the scene
Your European son is gone
You’d better say so long
Your clowns bid you goodbye

I'm Easy


I'm Easy
Composer(s): Keith Carradine
Performer(s): Keith Carradine
and multiple other artists



It's not my way to love you just when no one's looking
It's not my way to take your hand if I'm not sure
It's not my way to let you see what's going on inside of me
When it's a love you'll not be needing, you're not free
Please stop pulling at my sleeve if you're just playing
If you'll not take the things you make me want to give
I never cared too much for games and this one's driving me insane
You're not half as free to wander as you claim
I'm easy, I'm easy
Say the word, I'll play your game
As though that's how it ought to be
I'm easy
Don't lead me on if there's nowhere for you to take me
If loving you will have to be a sometime thing
I can't put bars on my insides; my love is something I can't hide
I still hurt when I recall the times I've tried
I'm easy, I'm easy
Take my hand and pull me down
I won't put up any fight, because I'm easy
Don't do me favors, let me watch you from a distance
Cause when you're near, it's hard for me to keep my head
When your eyes throw light at mine, it's enough to change my mind
Make me leave my cautious ways and world behind
I'm easy
I'm easy

Eula


Eula
Composer(s): Paul Barrère - Fred Tackett
Performer(s): Paul Barrère & Fred Tackett



Well now she taught school when she moved west
Nut we all knew what she did best
She like to stay out late at night down at the juke joint
And jump and shimmy 'til she felt allright
Well it started long ago
So long I can't remember
Might have been May, and it might 'a' been December
The boys in their pickups, hangin' out by the gate
'Til her daddy come out yellin'
Hey boys it's gettin' late, now
Eula... everybody loves you
Eula... I love ya too, yeah
Eula... honey won't ya teach me
A thing or two that I can't learn in school
Well the boy come down, down from Mississippi
The people all said he look just like a hippie
Eula took a look at him the first day 'a' school
With his long hair, sideburns, yeah the boy is cool
Down in the holler', in the dead 'a' night
Doin' whatcha doin', whatcha doin' feelin' right
No one really knew exactly what went down
But two months later little Eula left town
Eula... everybody loves you
Eula... I love ya too, yeah
Eula... honey won't ya teach me
A thing or two that I can't learn in school
We miss the sweet way, ya used to sashay
Eula pretty girl, why did ya go
Our hearts are breakin', we feel forsakin'
Hey you were the heart 'a' dixie
Eula... everybody loves you
Eula... I love ya too, yeah
Eula... honey won't ya teach me
A thing or two that I can't learn in school

I'm Down In The Dumps


I'm Down In The Dumps
Composer(s): Wesley Wilson; Lana Wilson
Performer(s): Bessie Smith; George Melly



My man's got somethin'
He gives me such a thrill
Ev'rytime he smiles at me
I can't keep my body still
I done cried so much
Look like I got the mumps
I can't keep from worryin'
'Cause I'm down in the dumps

I had a nightmare last night
When I laid down
When I woke up this mornin'
My sweet man couldn't be found
I'm goin' down to the river
Into it I'm goin' to jump
Can't keep from worryin'
'Cause I'm down in the dumps

Someone knocked on my door
Last night when I was asleep
I thought it was that sweet man o' mine
Makin' his 'fore day creep
Was nothin' but my landlord
A great big chump
Stay way from my door, Mister Landlord
'Cause I'm down in the dumps

When I woke up
My pillow was wet with tears
Just one day from that man o' mine
Seems like a thousand years
But I'm gonna straighten up
Straighter than Andy Gump
Ain't no use of me tellin' that lie
'Cause I'm down in the dumps

I'm twenty-five years old
That ain't no old maid
I got plenty of vim and vitality
I'm sure that I can make the grade
I'm always like a tiger
I'm ready to jump
I need a whole lots o' lovin'
'Cause I'm down in the dumps

Eu Te Amo (Chico Buarque)


Eu Te Amo Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Antonio Carlos Jobim Performer(s): Chico Buarque and multiple other artists



Ah, se já perdemos a noção da hora
Se juntos já jogamos tudo fora
Me conta agora como hei de partir

Se, ao te conhecer, dei pra sonhar, fiz tantos desvarios
Rompi com o mundo, queimei meus navios
Me diz pra onde é que inda posso ir

Se nós, nas travessuras das noites eternas
Já confundimos tanto as nossas pernas
Diz com que pernas eu devo seguir

Se entornaste a nossa sorte pelo chão
Se na bagunça do teu coração
Meu sangue errou de veia e se perdeu

Como, se na desordem do armário embutido
Meu paletó enlaça o teu vestido
E o meu sapato inda pisa no teu

Como, se nos amamos feito dois pagãos
Teus seios inda estão nas minhas mãos
Me explica com que cara eu vou sair

Não, acho que estás te fazendo de tonta
Te dei meus olhos pra tomares conta
Agora conta como hei de partir

I'm Down


I'm Down
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
First release by: The Beatles - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



You tell lies thinking I can't see
You don't cry 'cause you're laughing at me
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (Down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
(How can you laugh) When you know I'm down

Man buys ring woman throws it away
Same old thing happen everyday
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (Down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
(How can you laugh) When you know I'm down

We're all alone and there's nobody else
You still moan: "Keep your hands to yourself!"
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (Down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
(How can you laugh) When you know I'm down

Don't you know that I'm down (I'm really down)
Don't you know that I'm down (I'm really down)
Down on the ground (I'm really down)
Don't you know that I'm down (I'm really down)
Down, down, down ...

Eu Quero Apenas


Eu Quero Apenas
Composer(s): Roberto Carlos - Erasmo Carlos Performer(s): Roberto Carlos



Eu quero apenas olhar os campos
Eu quero apenas cantar meu canto
Eu só não quero cantar sozinho
Eu quero um coro de passarinhos

Quero levar o meu canto amigo a qualquer amigo que precisar
Eu quero ter um milhão de amigos e bem mais forte poder cantar

Eu quero apenas um vento forte
Levar meu barco no rumo norte
E no caminho o que eu pescar quero dividir quando lá chegar

Eu quero crer na paz do futuro
Eu quero ter um quintal sem muro
Quero meu filho pisando firme
Cantando alto, sorrindo livre

Eu quero amor decidindo a vida
Sentir a força da mão amiga
O meu irmão com sorriso aberto
Se ele chorar quero estar por perto

Venha comigo olhar os campos
Cante comigo também meu canto
Eu só não quero cantar sozinho
Eu quero um coro de passarinhos

I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can


I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can
Composer(s): Bob McDill
Performer(s): Juice Newton



He said, “I’ve seen you before”
As the band broke into Misty
I put one hand on the bar
The whole room by then
Was starting to spin

I said, “you’ve got Hemingway’s eyes”
And that night I called him papa
It seems that there are so many lovers
Who hold you and yet
Whose name you forget

Dance, they said
Life is only for the moment
The light is brief
Don’t waste it
The taste is sweet so taste it
So I said I understand
I’m dancing as fast as I can

Maybe were just shooting stars
Needing something to hold on to
But each thing we touch seems to vanish
Like candles and friends
They burn at both ends

Dance, they said
Life is only for the moment
The light is brief
Don’t waste it
The taste is sweet so taste it
So I said I understand
I’m dancing as fast as I can

He said I’ll see you around
And as I brushed my hair
I winked and said, “you might”
‘Cause I know by now how it’s done
After all the mornings after
And all the nights

Dance, they said
Life is only for the moment
The light is brief
Don’t waste it
The taste is sweet so taste it
So I said I understand
I’m dancing as fast as I can

Eu E Tu


Eu E Tu
Composer(s): Gereba - Tuzé de Abreu Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Faz muito tempo que o nosso amor começou
Daí pra cá cada vez mais ele aumentou
E nunca mais a gente esteve separado
E nunca mais a gente se sentiu só

Nunca mais tive que queixar da solidão
Nunca mais tive medo da escuridão
Porque eu tendo você a meu lado
Me sentia muito forte
Como lá no meu sertão

E foi assim que o sucesso lhe levou
Você saiu dizendo que vinha me buscar
Você esteve na tv e eu não lhe vi
Será, meu Deus, que eu não lhe vejo mais aqui

Ouvindo o rádio de manhãzinha
Pela janela da cozinha da vizinha
A sua voz cantando o beija-flor
Abri a porta da gaiola
E o canário avoou

Oh oh oh
Meu canarinho que beleza que avoou
Oh meu amor

Être


Être
((Italian Version: Essere (Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Être, renaître ma naissance
Dans une aube de craie
Sous la lune de sang
Aux termes d'un hiver mourant
Être, émerger du silence
Voir briller au soleil
Les givres de mon cœur
Présage d'un printemps meilleur
Être le fruit et la semence
Dans un sol épuisé
Et fleurir en exil
Comme un arbre éclaté d'avril
Être, apprendre à me connaître
Garder les yeux ouverts
Et n'être rien qu'un être
De chair

Pour aimer jusqu'à la mort
Et au-delà peut-être
Être l'âme séparée du corps
Pour aimer jusqu'à la mort
Même au-delà encore

Être la voix de mes naufrages
Le verbe retrouvé
Lavé de tout défaut
Êpousant le chemin des mots
Être, échapper au chantage
De tous les lieux communs
Êteindre mes volcans
Dompter et chevaucher mon temps
Être le geste qui engage
L'avenir repensé
Artisan du retour
Au simple rituel d'amour
Être, mourir pour mieux renaître
Des mensonges d'antan
Et n'être rien qu'un être
Vivant

Pour aimer jusqu'à la mort
Et au-delà peut-être
Être l'âme séparée du corps
Pour aimer jusqu'à la mort
Même au-delà encore

I'm walkin' on air
For I've left all my blue days behind

And there's love, really love on my mind

I'm the world's most happy creature, tell me what can worry be?
I'm crazy 'bout my baby, and my baby's crazy 'bout me

Mr. Cupid was our teacher, that's the reason we agree
Yes, I'm crazy 'bout my baby, and my baby's crazy 'bout me

Parson get your book out, ready in your hand
Keep a steady lookout, and you can understand

It's an A - one combination, we are perfect, me and she
Yes, I'm crazy 'bout my baby, and my baby's crazy 'bout me

Rejoindront les rats
Car Jacob a tiré son échelle
