Salut


Salut
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë; Claude Lemesle
Performer(s): Joe Dassin



Salut, c'est encore moi!
Salut, comment tu vas?
Le temps m'a paru très long
Loin de la maison j'ai pensé à toi

J'ai un peu trop navigué
Et je me sens fatigué
Fais-moi un bon café
J'ai une histoire à te raconter

Il était une fois quelqu'un
Quelqu'un que tu connais bien
Il est parti très loin
Il s'est perdu, il est revenu

Salut, c'est encore moi!
Salut, comment tu vas?
Le temps m'a paru très long
Loin de la maison j'ai pensé à toi

Tu sais, j'ai beaucoup changé
Je m'étais fait des idées
Sur toi, sur moi, sur nous
Des idées folles, mais j'étais fou

Tu n'as plus rien à me dire
Je ne suis qu'un souvenir
Peut-être pas trop mauvais
Jamais plus je ne te dirai

Salut, c'est encore moi!
Salut, comment tu vas?
Le temps m'a paru très long
Loin de la maison j'ai pensé à toi

It's Beginning To Look Like Christmas


It's Beginning To Look Like Christmas
Composer(s): Meredith Willson
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists



It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look in the Five and Ten
Glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see
Is the holly that will be
On your own front door

A pair of Hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Bonny and Ben
Dolls that will talk and go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jenn
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again
(Yes Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel
One in the park as well
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring
Is the Carol that you sing
Right within your heart
Right within your heart
Right within your heart

Salud
Composer(s): Armando Manzanero
Performer(s): José Feliciano; Armando Manzanero



Salud, salud cariño, porque mañana siempre exista la alegría
de este amor que noche y día, nos tenemos tu y yo

Salud, salud mi vida, que se conserven frescas nuestras emociones
y no existan ilusiones que lleguemos a perder

Salud, salud cariño, porque en las noches tu que eres adorable
sea fuente inagotable de mi dicha y mi pasión

Salud, salud cariño, salud querida, que nuestro idilio
sea de los dos un niño que tratamos de lograr

Salud, salud cariño, salud, salud querida
por todo lo que nos damos por lo que
a diario soñamos una y mil veces salud

Salud, salud cariño, salud querida, que nuestro idilio....

It Wouldn't Be Christmas (Without You)


It Wouldn't Be Christmas (Without You)
Composer(s): Scott Krippayne; John Tesh
Performer(s): John Tesh



We hang the lights, have snowball fights
And sing our favorite tunes
All of these are memories
I make each year with you

We decorate the douglas together
And watch "It's A Wonderful Life"
I look forward to every December
Because you're always here by my side

It wouldn't be Christmas without you
The season would just come and go
The holiday cheer would all disappear
Along with the sleigh bells and snow
Santa and eight little reindeer
Might as well pass on through
'Cause baby it wouldn't be Christmas
Without you

Hey-hey, you salty dog
Hey-hey-hey, you salty dog

The lips 'round her mouth, just as sweet as any honey

Well, little fish, big fish swimmin' in the water
Come back here, man, gimme my quarter
Hey-hey-hey, you salty dog

It Won't Seem Like Christmas (Without You)


It Won't Seem Like Christmas (Without You) Composer(s): J.A. Balthrop First recording/First release by: Elvis Presley - 1971



Oh, it won't seem like Christmas, Dear, without you
For too many miles are between
But if I get the one thing I'm wishing for
Then I'll se you tonight in my dreams

Seems a long time since we've been together
It was just about this time of the year
Looks like it's gonna be snowy weather
How I wish that you could be here

But it won't seem like Christmas, oh, without you
For too many miles are between
But if I get the one thing that I'm wishing for
Then I'll see you tonight in my dreams

In the distance I hear sleigh bells ringing
The holly is so pretty this year
And the carol that somebody's singing
Reminds me of our Christmas last year

Oh, it won't seem like Christmas, oh, without you
For too many miles are between
But if I get the one thing I'm wishing for
Then I'll see you tonight in my dreams

Saltando De Piedra En Piedra


Saltando De Piedra En Piedra
Composer(s): Rubén Goldín
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



Un hombre alegre, es uno más
en el coro el hombre es alegre ... haaa ...
un hombre triste no se parece
a ningœn otro hombre triste ... haaa ...

Tonto corazón vacío
uno depende así de tu hambre
uno depende así de tu hambre
y se convierte en ave ciega, torpe
horadada al fin, horadada al fin.
El sombrío pasajero
de tu carruaje
no puedo mirar hacia atrás
no puedo mirar hacia atrás
tu voz doloroso clavo
penetra el centro del alma
y cala hondo.
Recuerda un clamor de niños insomnes
arrastrados por la sangre
del amanecer ...
Mi tonto corazón
mi tonto corazón
mi corazón ...

It Won't Seem Like Christmas


It Won't Seem Like Christmas
Composer(s): Loretta Lynn
Performer(s): Loretta Lynn



Everybody's busy decorating Christmas trees
And outside icicles hanging from the eaves
And the snowflakes are flyin' just as far as I can see
But it won't seem like Christmas to me

No it won't seem like Christmas, you'll be there and I'll be here
So I'll decorate a heartache with my tears
So have a merry merry Christmas wherever you may be
Oh but it won't seem like Christmas to me

No it won't seem like Christmas, what Christmas without you
I'll be lonely but my darling I'll be true
So have a merry merry Christmas...
No it won't seem like Christmas to me

It Won't Be Christmas Without You


It Won't Be Christmas Without You
Composer(s): Steven Busch; Ronnie Dunn; Jerry Lynn Williams
Performer(s): Brooks & Dunn; Mark Leland



Tree's in the corner, the fire's burning bright
Shadows are dancing in the pale candlelight
Life should be a rainbow, but it's blue
It won't be Christmas without you

I wrapped up all your presents, wrote my name on ev'ry card
I just can't help it, baby, I'm takin' this so hard
You tell me, what's a man to do
It won't be Christmas without you

I stare into the flames, all I see is your face
All this joy and happiness seems so out of place
As far as I'm concerned, it's just a day I must get through
But it won't be Christmas without you

Oh, I wrapped up all your presents, wrote my name on ev'ry card
I just can't help it, baby, I'm takin' this so hard
You tell me, what's a man to do
It won't be Christmas without you

Oh, I wrapped up all your presents, wrote my name on ev'ry card
I just can't help it, baby, I'm takin' this so hard
You tell me, what's a man to do
It won't be Christmas without you

It won't be Christmas without you

Salomon-Song


Salomon-Song
Composer(s): Kurt Weill; Bertolt Brecht
First performance by: Lotte Lenya - 1928
Covered by multiple other artists



Ihr saht den weisen Salomon
Ihr wißt, was aus ihm wurd’!
Dem Mann war alles sonnenklar
Er verfluchte die Stunde seiner Geburt
Und sah, daß alles eitel war
Wie groß und weis war Salomon!
Und seht, da war es noch nicht Nacht
Da sah die Welt die Folgen schon
Die Weisheit hatte ihn so weit gebracht
Beneidenswert, wer frei davon!

Ihr saht die schöne Kleopatra
Ihr wißt, was aus ihr wurd’!
Zwei Kaiser fielen ihr zum Raub
Da hat sie sich zu Tode gehurt
Und welkte hin und wurde Staub
Wie groß und schön war Babylon!
Und seht, da war es noch nicht Nacht
Da sah die Welt die Folgen schon
Die Schönheit hatte sie so weit gebracht
Beneidenswert, wer frei davon!

Ihr saht den kühnen Cäsar dann
Ihr wißt, was aus ihm wurd’!
Er saß wie ‘n Gott auf ‘nem Altar
Und wurde ermordet, wie ihr erfuhrt
Und zwar, als er am größten war
Wie schrie der laut: "Auch du, mein Sohn!"
Und seht, da war es noch nicht Nacht
Da sah die Welt die Folgen schon
Die Kühnheit hatte ihn so weit gebracht
Beneidenswert, wer frei davon!

Und jetzt sehr ihr Macheath und mich
Gott weiß, was aus uns wird!
So groß war unsre Leidenschaft
Wo haben wir uns hin verirrt
Daß man ihn jetzt zum Galgen schafft
Da seht ihr unsere Sünde Lohn
Und seht, da ist es noch nicht Nacht
Da sieht die Welt die Folgen schon
Die Leidenschaft hat uns so weit gebracht
Beneidenswert, wer frei davon!

It Wasn't His Child


It Wasn't His Child
Composer(s): Skip Ewing
Performer(s): Trisha Yearwood;
and various other artists



He was her man, she was his wife
And late one winter night
He knelt by her
As she gave birth
But it wasn't his child
It wasn't his child

Yet still he took him as his own
And as he watched him grow
It brought him joy
But it wasn't his child
It wasn't his child

But like a father he was strong and kind
And I believe he did his best
It wasn't easy for him
But he did all could
His son was different from the rest
It wasn't his child
It wasn't his child

And when the boy became a man
He took his father's hand
And soon the world
Would all know why
It wasn't his child
It wasn't his child

But like a father he was strong and kind
And I believe he did his best
It wasn't easy for him
But he did all could
He grew up with his hands in wood
And he died with his hands in wood
He was God's child,
He was God's child

He was her man
She was his wife
And late one night
He knelt by her
As she gave birth
But it wasn't his child
It was God's child

Salomee (With Her Seven Veils)


Salomee (With Her Seven Veils)
Composer(s): Jule Styne; Bob Hilliard
Performer(s): Dinah Shore



Stagecoach after stagecoach
Crossed them western trails
Just to see Salomee
Struttin' like a chicken
Ready for the pickin'
Swingin' out and kickin'
With her seven veils

Outlaws mix with sheriffs
No one thinks of jail
When they see Salomee
Movin' kinda gentle
Lookin' Oriental
Out to pay the rental
With her seven veils

Dancin' like the demon
She'll wiggle across the floor
Everybody's screamin'
(More, more, more, Salomee)
(You're a wow)
(More, more, more, Salomee)
(Wiggle once more, then take a bow)

Weak men yell like Tarzan
Strong men bite their nails
When they see Salomee
Swing Scheherezadeee
Hotter than a toddy
Pleasin' everybyody
With her seven veils

(Hey, now bring me water)
(This gal is Satan's daughter)
Red silk veils are flyin' around
One of them veils just flew to the ground

(More, more, more, Salomee)
(You're a wow)
(More, more, more Salomee)
(Wiggle once more, then take a bow)

She may cause a fire
Fill your fire pails
When you see Salomee
Struttin' like a chicken
Ready for the pickin'
Swingin' out and kickin'
With her seven veils

(Hey Salomee!)
Ye-e-s-s-s
(Hey Salomee!)
(Wow!)

She may cause a fire
Fill your fire pails
When you see Salomee
Struttin' like a chicken
Ready for the pickin'
Swingin' out and kickin'
With her se-e-e-e-e-ven veils

Se-e-e-e-e-ven veils

(Wow!)

It Must Be Getting Close To Christmas


It Must Be Getting Close To Christmas
Composer(s): C. Bruce; Sammy Cahn; Jimmy Van Heusen
Performer(s): Glen Campbell



When daughter starts to greet you with her warmest grin
And junior's got his room much neater than a pin
And if they fight to hug you each time you walk in
It must be getting close to Christmas

Suddenly your slightest wish is their command
And all at once your favorite things are close at hand
And suddenly Lombardo is their favorite band
It must be getting close to Christmas

Nobody ever makes mention of the weather or season
But you, you just love that attention whatever the reason

All at once the wife is charcoal broiling stakes
Coming up with dishes she'd refuse to make
And your little puppy doesn't bark till you're awake
This paradise is close to sublime
And very close to Christmas time

Salome (Harry Roy)


Salome
Composer(s): H. Weston; J. Turner
Performer(s): Harry Roy



Carry on, carry on

In Egypt where all the pyramids are
Down our street where lots of dirty kids are
There's a café painted white
Where all the sailors like to go at night

There's a native band, help they play
But the best thing is the cabaret
Expect the suffocation, boltin' up the doors
When they put up the show

(Salome, Salome)
(You should see Salome)
Dancing there with her feet all bare
Every little wriggle makes the boys all stare

(She swings it, she flings it)
(And the sheiks all murmur, "Oh")
While the old sphinx winks and winks and winks
Out there where the sandbags grow

Carry on, carry on

Salome, she's the idle of the kids
She looks a-like a million dollar saucepan lid
Curtain ring stuck through her nose
And bells upon her pretty little toes

She's a dusky, and though she looks so posh
She'd be a lighter colour if she only had a wash
But every night, there's a big big fight
To see that girl, Salome

Carry on, carry on

Ticki-wicky

Wankee-wankee

Carry on

It Feels Like Christmas


It Feels Like Christmas
Composer(s): Paul Williams
Performer(s): The Muppets



It's in the singing of a street corner choir
It's going home and getting warm by the fire
It's true, wherever you find love it feels like Christmas

A cup of kindess that we share with another
A sweet reunion with a friend or a brother
In all the places you find love it feels like Christmas

It is the season of the heart
A special time of caring
The ways of love made clear
It is the season of the sprit
The message if we hear it
Is make it last all year

It's in the giving of a gift to another
A pair of mittens that were made by your mother
It's all the ways that we show love that feel like Christmas

A part of childhood we'll always remember
It is the summer of the soul in December
Yes, when you do your best for love it feels like Christmas

It is the season of the heart
A special time of caring
The ways of love made clear
It is the season of the sprit
The message if we hear it
Is make it last all year

It's in the singing of a street corner choir
It's going home and getting warm by the fire
It's true, wherever you find love it feels like Christmas
It's true, wherever you find love it feels like Christmas
It feels like Christmas
It feels like Christmas
It feels like Christmas

Salome (Jimmy Frey)


Salome
Composer(s): Jimmy Frey; Hubert Hugo; Andy Free
Performer(s): Jimmy Frey



In duizend en één nachten
Van kille noorderwind
In duizend en één nachten
Brandt jij door mijn gedachten
Ten westen van het oosten
Het noorden kwijtgeraakt
Een glas om me te troosten
Een toast op Salome

Salome
Kom Salome dans
Mijn Salome dans voor mij
Salome
Kom Salome dans
Mijn Salome dans voor mij
Ik droom naar je toe
Naar 't land van mijn vader
Want daar haal jij adem
Daar geurt de lucht zoet
En in 't avondrood
Daar glanzen je haren
Daar zie ik de jaren
Die wegen als lood
Maar laat m'n dromen nu voltooien
Wat nooit is afgeraakt
Nooit afgeraakt
De ogen nat, de lippen droog
Een gelogen vrolijk woord
Zo kusten wij elkaar
Voor de laatste keer

Salome
Kom Salome dans
Mijn Salome dans voor mij
Salome
Kom Salome dans
Mijn Salome dans voor mij

Ik droom naar je toe
Naar 't land van mijn vader
Want daar haal jij adem
Daar geurt de lucht zoet
En in 't avondrood
Daar glanzen je haren
Daar zie ik de jaren
Die wegen als lood
Maar achter die fatamorgana
Komt je hart steeds dichterbij, dichterbij
En als de laatste sluier valt
Leg je neer hier aan mijn zij
Maak dan men zinnen vrij

Salome
Kom Salome dans
Mijn Salome dans voor mij
Salome
Kom Salome dans
Mijn Salome dans voor mij

It Doesn't Have To Be That Way


It Doesn't Have To Be That Way Composer(s): Jim Croce Jim Croce; Articles of Faith; The Ventures



Snowy nights and Christmas lights Icy window panes Make me wish that we could be Together again And the windy winter avenues Just don't seem the same And the Christmas carols sound like blues But the choir is not to blame But it doesn't have to be that way What we had should have never have ended And I'll be dropping by today We could easily get it together tonight It's only right Crowded stores, the corner Santa Claus Tinseled afternoons And the sidewalk bands that play their songs Slightly out of tune On the windy winter avenues There walks a lonely man And if I told you who he is I think you'd understand But it doesn't have to be that way What we had should have never have ended And I'll be dropping by today We could easily get it together tonight It's only right



Snowy nights and Christmas lights
Icy window panes
Make me wish that we could be
Together again
And the windy winter avenues
Just don't seem the same
And the Christmas carols sound like blues
But the choir is not to blame

Chorus:

But it doesn't have to be that way
What we had should have never have ended
And I'll be dropping by today
We could easily get it together tonight
It's only right

Crowded stores, the corner Santa Claus
Tinseled afternoons
And the sidewalk bands that play their songs
Slightly out of tune
On the windy winter avenues
There walks a lonely man
And if I told you who he is
I think you'd understand

(Repeat Chorus)

Meu corpo está sofrendo
É grande o meu torpor
Eu vou enlanguescendo
Rendo-vos mil graças, meu Senhor

Conturbam-se meus ossos
Meu vulto perde a cor
Minh'alma está confusa
Fustigai-me, meu Senhor

Meu Deus abri-me as portas
Da eterna servidão
Lançai-me vossa cólera
No tempo de Sião

It Came Upon The Midnight Clear


It Came Upon The Midnight Clear (Adapted from: Study no. 23 - 1850) Composer(s): Edmund Hamilton Sears; Richard Storrs Willis Performer(s): Frank Sinatra and multiple other artists



It came upon a midnight clear that glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold
Peace on the earth goodwill to men from heav'n all gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing

For lo the days are hast'ning on by prophets seen of old
When with the ever circling years shall come the time foretold
When the new heav'n and earth shall on the Prince of peace their king
And the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing

Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heavenly music floats o'er all the weary world
Above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing
And ever o'er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing

Yet with the woes of sin and strife the world has suffered long
Beneath the heavenly strain have rolled two thousand years of wrong
And man at war with man hears not the tidings which they bring
O hush the noise ye men of strife and hear the angels sing

O ye, beneath life's crushing load whose forms are bending low
Who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow
Look now for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing
O rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing

For lo the days are hastening on by prophets seen of old
When with the ever circling years shall come the time foretold
When peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendors fling
And the whole world give back the song which now the angels sing

Er kam sevara weit in der Sahara
Träumte vom paradies

Von schattigen wegen
Von blumen im regen
Als er seine stadt verliess
Und er glaubte es zu finden

Salma ya salama
Wo ist da Glück ya salama
Salma ya salama
Ich komm zurück bei salama

Ich komm zurück bei salama
Er zog immer weiter die hoffnug als begleiter
Bis er das wunder sah grosser reichtum wälle
Und der meere welle alles wie zum greifen nah
es war eine lust zu leben

Salma ya salama
Wo ist da Glück ya salama
Salma ya salama
Ich komm zurück bei salama

Die fata morgana, das spiegelbild seiner träume
Löste sich in Wolken auf was übrigblieb
War sand und wüste und er suchte weiter
Fand den quell der freiheit die für ihn die zukunft war
auf allen seinen wegen

Salma ya salama
Wo ist da Glück ya salama

Von blumen im regen als er seine stadt verliess
Und er glaubte es zu finden

Ich komm zurück bei salama

Wo ist da Glück ya salama
