Scarlet Ribbons (For Her Hair)


Scarlet Ribbons (For Her Hair)
Composer(s): Evelyn Danzig; Jack Segal
First release by: Juanita Hall - 1949
Covered by multiple other artists



I peeped in to say Goodnight
and then I heard my child in prayer
And for me, some scarlet ribbons
scarlet ribbons for my hair

All the stores were locked and shuttered
All the streets were dark and bare
In our town no scarlet ribbons
not one ribbon for her hair

Through the night my heart was aching
Just before the dawn was breaking
I peeped in and on her bed
in gay profusion lying there

Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair

If I live to be two hundred
I will never know from where
came those lovely scarlet ribbons
scarlet ribbons for her hair!

Please Come Home For Christmas


Please Come Home For Christmas Composer(s): Charles Brown; Gene Redd First release by: Charles Brown - 1960 Covered by multiple other artists



Bells will be ringing the glad, glad news
Oh, what a Christmas to end the blues
My baby's gone, I have no friends
To wish me greetings, ooh, once again

Choirs will be singing Silent Night
Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas, by New Year's night

Friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
This is Christmas, yeah, Christmas my dear
The time of year to be with the one you love

So won't you tell me you'll never more roam
Christmas and New Years will find you home
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas by New Year's night

There'll be no more sorrow no grief and pain
And I'll be happy, happy once again

Pine Cones And Holly Berries


Pine Cones And Holly Berries
Composer(s): Meredith Willson
Performer(s): Hank Jones; The Osmonds



Pine cones and Holly Berries
Popcorn for you, apples for me
Red striped candy, nut cracker handy
Kettle a-bubbleing hot as can be
Snow clouds hang low and threatening
Maybe it won't, praying it may
The brightest fireplace glows in every face
Waiting for Christmas day

There'll be walk-a-round songs
And talk-a-round songs
Songs of the inn and stable
There'll be morning time songs
And evening time songs
And grace at every table
And Jingle bells will jingle all the way all day

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

Scarecrow's Dream


Scarecrow's Dream
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
First release by: Dan Fogelberg - 1977



Seldom seen
A scarecrow's dream
I hang in the hopes of replacement
Castles tall
I built them all
But I dream that I'm trapped in the basement

And if you ever hear me calling out
And if you've been by paupers crowned
Between the worlds of men and make-believe
I can be found

Plans I've made
A masquerade
Fading in fear of the coming day
Heroes' tales
Like nightingales
Wrestle the wind as they run away

And if you ever hear them calling out
And if you've been by paupers crowned
Between the worlds of men and make-believe
I can be found

Garden gate
An empty plate
Waiting for someone to come and fill
Scarecrow's dreams
Like frozen streams
Thirst for the fall
But they're running still

And if you ever hear me calling out
And if you've been by paupers crowned
Between the worlds of men and make-believe
I can be found

Petite Étoile De Noël


Petite Étoile De Noël
Composer(s): Raymond Legrand; J. Daniel Norman; G. Diamant
Performer(s): Tino Rossi



Au pas lent de leurs chevaux
Qui sont chargés de cadeaux
Quittant leurs palais et les rois mages
Vont dans un tout petit village
Perdu dans la nuit bleue
Qui leur a dit?
Qui les conduit?
En cette nuit

Petite étoile de Noël
Tu luis d'un éclat surnaturel
Eclairant la petite étable
Où l'enfant Dieu est né pour nous
Petite étoile de Noël
Montre-nous dans le bleu du ciel
L'humble toit, la petite étable
Où l'enfant Roi est venu jusqu'à nous
Marie au regard si doux
Et les bergers à genoux
Le regardent sourire aux anges
Le gros bœuf taché de roux
L'agneau blanc, l'âne debout
Nous attendent au rendez-vous
Entend dans la nuit de Noël
Jésus ton grand amour éternel
Et suivons la petite étoile
Petite étoile de Noël

Scarborough Fair/Canticle


Scarborough Fair/Canticle ((Adapted from: "Scarborough Fair" (Shirley Collins) - 1959 and "The Side Of A Hill" (Paul Simon) - 1965)) Composer(s): Paul Simon - Art Garfunkel Performer(s): Simon & Garfunkel - 1966 and multiple other artists

Versions In Other Languages: 1968 - La Fiera Del Perdono (I Califfi) 1970 - Lilja Ruusu Ja Kirsikkapuu (Kirka) 2004 - Chèvrefeuille Que Tu Es Loin (Nana Mouskouri)



Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt

(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needlework
(Blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)
Tell her to find me an acre of land

(On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, & thyme
(Washed is the ground with so many tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strand
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather

(War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather
(And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten)
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

Petit Pasqua Noël


Petit Pasqua Noël
Composer(s): Martiney; Girardot
Performer(s): Chanson Plus Bifluorée



C'est la belle nuit de Noël
Dans le fourgon, c'est l'allégresse
Les casques pointés vers le ciel
Emus les petits CRS
Avant de fermer leurs visières
Font une dernière prière

Petit Pasqua Noël
Quand tu descendras du ciel
Avec des matraques dorées
N'oublie pas ton traîneau blindé
Car avant de partir
Il faudra bien te couvrir
Les gens sont si durs
Avec toi
Oh mon pauvre petit Pasqua

Il me tarde tant que le jour se lève
Pour voir si nous pouvons charger
Et puis matraquer tous ces jeunes en grève
Que nous t'avions commandés

Petit Pasqua Noël
Quand tu descendras du ciel
Avec des matraques dorées
N'oublie pas ton traîneau blindé
Petit Pasqua Noël

La Fiera Del Perdono


La Fiera Del Perdono ((Adapted from: "Scarborough Fair" (Shirley Collins) - 1959 and "The Side Of A Hill" (Paul Simon) - 1965)) Composer(s): Traditional - Paul Simon - Franco Boldrini Performer(s): I Califfi - 1968

Versions In Other Languages: 1966 - Scarborough Fair/Canticle (Simon & Garfunkel) 1970 - Lilja Ruusu Ja Kirsikkapuu (Kirka) 2004 - Chèvrefeuille Que Tu Es Loin (Nana Mouskouri)



Se tu vai alla fiera del perdono
Giu' al paese torroni e collane
Se incontri chi e' stato il mio amore
Dille che ora non posso venire
Dille ricami su un pezzo di seta
Due gabbiani fra nuvole rosa
Ma non con filo di tanti colori
Ma con il crine dei suoi capelli
Dille che trovi un pezzo di terra
Fra gli ulivi e i ruscelli di vetro
Allora potro' tornare da lei
E la vendemmia ci trovera' insieme
La montagna ride col vento
Giu' al paese torroni e collane
E quando grido il tuo nome di neve
Fugge un cerbiatto lungo il sentiero
Se tu vai alla fiera del perdono
Giu' al paese torroni e collane
Se incontri chi e' stato il mio amore
Dille che ora non posso venire

Petit Papa Noël


Petit Papa Noël (Dutch Version: O Zoete Lieve Heer- 1978) Composer(s): Raymond Vincy; Henri Martinet; John Boylan Performer(s): Tino Rossi - 1946



C'est la belle nuit de Noël
La neige étend son manteau blanc
Et les yeux levés vers le ciel
À genoux, les petits enfants
Avant de fermer les paupières
Font une dernière prière

Petit Papa Noël
Quand tu descendras du ciel
Avec des jouets par milliers
N'oublie pas mon petit soulier
Mais avant de partir
Il faudra bien te couvrir
Dehors tu dois avoir si froid
C'est un peu à cause de moi

Il me tarde tant que le jour se lève
Pour voir si tu m'as apporté
Tous les beaux joujoux que je vois en rêves
Et que je t'ai commandés

Petit Papa Noël
When you sail down from the sky
Bringing toys, so shiny and so bright
Please don't pass my little stocking by
Before you leave your home
Wear your bright red coat so warm
Understand it still a winter night
How I'd wait you see my candlelight

Petit Papa Noël
Quand tu descendras du ciel
Apportant des jouets, si brillants et si éclatants
S'il-te-plaît, ne passes pas à côté de mon petit bas
Avant de partir de chez-toi
Mets ton manteau rouge vif si chaud
Comprends que c'est une autre nuit d'hiver
J'attendrai tellement que tu vois la lumière de ma chandelle

I can't hardly sleep
Cause my heart is singing
Listening to a new Christmas song
I can't wait to see
What the morning's bringing
Oh I can't wait so long

J'ai de la difficulté à m'endormir
Parce que mon coeur chante
En écoutant une nouvelle chanson de Noël
Je ne peux attendre pour voir
Ce que le matin apporte
Oh je ne peux attendre si longtemps

Petit Papa Noël
Quand tu descendras du ciel
Avec des jouets par milliers
N'oublies pas mon petit soulier
Petit Papa Noël

Scarborough Fair


Scarborough Fair ((aka The Wind Hath Blown My Plaid Away, Or A Discourse Betwixt A Young Woman And The Elphin Knight - 1610; The Elfin Knight (Kate Rusby) - 2005)) (Traditional) First release by: Shirley Collins - 1959 Covered by multiple other artists



Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
For once she was a true love of mine
Have her make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without a seam or fine needle work
And then she'll be a true love of mine
Have her wash it in yonder dry well
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Where ne'er a drop of water e'er fell
And then she'll be a true love of mine
Have her find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the sea and over the sand
And then she'll be a true love of mine
Plow the land with the horn of a lamb
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Then sow some seeds from north of the dam
And then she'll be a true love of mine
If she tells me she can't, I'll reply
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Let me know that at least she will try
And then she'll be a true love of mine
Love imposes impossible tasks
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Though not more than any heart asks
And I must know she's a true love of mine
Dear, when thou has finished thy task
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Come to me, my hand for to ask
For thou then art a true love of mine

Dans son manteau rouge et blanc
Sur un traîneau porté par le vent
Il descendra par la cheminée
Petit garçon, il est l'heure d'aller se coucher

Tes yeux se voilent
Ecoute les étoiles
Tout est calme, reposé
Entends-tu les clochettes tintinnabuler?

Et demain matin petit garçon
Tu trouveras dans tes chaussons
Tous les jouets dont tu as rêvé
Petit garçon il est l'heure d'aller se coucher

Tes yeux se voilent
Ecoute les étoiles
Tout est calme, reposé
Entends-tu les clochettes tintinnabuler?

Et demain matin petit garçon
Tu trouveras dans tes chaussons
Tous les jouets dont tu as rêvé
Petit garçon il est l'heure d'aller se coucher...

Percy, The Puny Pointsettia


Percy, The Puny Pointsettia
Performer(s): Elmo & Patsy



Percy The Puny Pointsettia
Hanging his gloom in dismay
If they had just kept him wetta
He'd be a houseplant today
Homes like the other pointsettias
Now he's alone on the shelf
Even a plant with no uncles or aunts
Shouldn't spend Christmas day by himself!!

Holiday shoppers who stop at the counter
And picked out a plant to take home
One at a time all of his friends
Where adopted til'
Percy was left all alone!

Percy the Puny Pointsettia
Hanging his gloom in dismay
If they had just kept him wetta
He'd be a housplant today
Homes like the other pointsettias
Now he's alone on the shelf
Even a houseplant with no uncles or aunts
Shouldn't spend Christmas day by himself!!

Then into the shop on the day before Christmas
Came a poor little girl who was crying
But when she saw Percy
Her eyes opened wide and she said
"Can I please make him mine?"

Now Percy The Puny Pointsettia
Is standing beside Mr. Tree
His leaves have never been redda
He's as proud as a flower can be
Somebody made him feel betta
Rescued him off the shelf

Even a plant with no uncles or aunts
Should spend Christmas day by himself!!
Even a plant with no uncles or aunts
Should spend Christmas day by himself!!

Tu N'as Pas Très Bon Caractère


Tu N'as Pas Très Bon Caractère
(Italian Version: Scapricciatiello)
Composer(s): Ferdinando Albano; Pacifico Vento; F. Bonifay
Performer(s): Dalida



Tu n'as pas très bon caractère
Après tout qu'es ce que ça peut faire
Je t'aime avec tous tes défauts
Tu en as pourtant de bien gros
Pour un rien tu as des colères
Qui me crispent et qui m'exaspèrent
Mais tu as des petits à cotés
Qui m'obligent à te pardonner

Depuis toujours j'avais rêvé d'un ange
Mais avec toi vraiment cela me change
Et lorsque je suis prête à te maudire
Tu prétends que je pourrais trouver pire
Alors je n'ai plus rien, plus rien à dire

Tu n'as pas très bon caractère
Après tout qu'es ce que sa peut faire
Maintenant je suis résigné
Tu peux tranquillement tout casser
Je dois faire tes petits caprices
Ou subir les pires injustices
Cependant c'est plus fort que moi
Je m'ennuie quand tu n'es pas là

Lorsque tu fais parfois trop de tapage
Je deviens la risée du voisinage
Au lieu de me dire bonjour quand je m'avance
Tous les voisins ricanent en silence
Hé! hé! ça fait toujours plaisir quand on y pense

Tu n'as pas très bon caractère
Après tout qu'es ce que sa peut faire
Maintenant je suis habitué et j'arrive à te supporter
Et d'ailleurs quand je me désole
Je l'avoue ce qui me console
C'est qu'avec ce caractère là
De petites fleurs te résistent pas

Moi je reste quand même
Parce que je t'aime

Peaceful The Wondrous Night


Peaceful The Wondrous Night
Composer(s): Eliza E. Hewitt; E.G. Snelling



Peaceful the wondrous night, peaceful and holy
Under the silv'ry light, gleaming afar
Faithfully watching there, shepherds so lowly
Over the hills so fair, saw glory's star

Hail to the starry night, sparkling with glory
Angels on wings of light thronging the sky
Hail to that starry night, wondrous its story
Jesus the Prince of Light came from above

Come with that shepherd band, come to the manger
Join in the chorus grand, Glory to God!
Worship the holy Child, wonderful stranger
Give to the undefiled, glory and laud

Hail to the starry night, sparkling with glory
Angels on wings of light thronging the sky
Hail to that starry night, wondrous its story
Jesus the Prince of Light came from above

Sweet favour, thus to bow, love's treasure bringing
Gratefully yielding now, life's joyful praise
Hear from the heavenly height, glad echoes ringing
Blessing and power and might, through endless days

Hail to the starry night, sparkling with glory
Angels on wings of light thronging the sky
Hail to that starry night, wondrous its story
Jesus the Prince of Light came from above

Scandale Dans La Famille


Scandale Dans La Famille
(English & Italian Versions: Shame And Scandal In The Family; Un Grosso Scandalo)
Composer(s): Slim Henry Brown; Huon Donaldson; Maurice Tézé
Performer(s): Sacha Distel
and multiple other artists



À Trinidad, tout là-bas aux Antilles
À Trinidad, vivait une famille
Y avait la Mama et le Papa
Et le grand fils aîné
Qui, à quarante ans
N'était toujours pas marié

Un jour il trouva, la fille qu'il voulait
Et dit à son père
"Je voudrais l'épouser"
Hélas mon garçon, hélas tu n'peux pas
Car cette fille est ta sœur
Et ta mère ne l'sait pas

Oh Papa, quel malheur
Quel grand malheur pour moi
Oh Papa, quel scandale
Si Maman savait ça

Deux ans passèrent et le garçon, un soir
vint trouver son père et lui dit, plein d'espoir
"La maîtresse d'école veut bien m'épouser"
Mais le pauvre père prit un air accablé
Mon fils tu n'peux pas
tu n'peux pas faire ça
Car cette fille est ta sœur
Et ta mère ne l'sait pas!

Oh Papa, quel malheur
Quel grand malheur pour moi
Oh Papa, quel scandale
Si Maman savait ça

Dix ans après, il revint tout ému
Et dit à son père,
"Devine ce que j'ai vu!"
Dans la plantation
On vient d'embaucher
Plus de cinquante filles
Du village d'à côté

Hélas mon pauvre enfant
Les Dieux sont contre toi
Toutes ces filles sont tes sœurs
Et ta mère ne l'sait pas

À bout de patience
Il s'en fut écœuré
Raconter à sa mère toute la vérité
Sa mère se mit à rire
Et lui dit: "Ne t'en fais pas
Ton père n'est pas ton père
Et ton père ne le sait pas"

Oh Mama, quel bonheur
Quel grand bonheur pour moi
Oh Mama, quel scandale
Si Papa savait ça

Peace


Peace
Composer(s): Mark Lindsay; Terry Melcher
Performer(s): Paul Revere & The Raiders



I have come from so far away
Down the road of my own mistakes
In the hope you could hear me pray
Oh lord, keep me in your reach

How I’ve longed through these wasted years
To outrun all the pain and fear
Turned to stone from my uncried tears
And now it’s your grace I seek

Love won’t compromise
It’s a gift, it’s a sacrifice
My soul renewed, and my heart released
In you I’ll find my peace

Wondrous child of whom the angels sing
Know my joy, feel my suffering
Shining star make this love you bring
So bright that I may believe

That my way will not be lost
From now on, ‘til that river’s crossed
My soul renewed, and my spirit free
In you I’ll find my peace
