Adieu l'Émile je t'aimais bien
Adieu l'Émile je t'aimais bien tu sais
On a chanté les mêmes vins
On a chanté les mêmes filles
On a chanté les mêmes chagrins
Adieu l'Émile je vais mourir
C'est dur de mourir au printemps tu sais
Mais je pars aux fleurs la paix dans l'âme
Car vu que tu es bon comme du pain blanc
Je sais que tu prendras soin de ma femme
Je veux qu'on rie
Je veux qu'on danse
Je veux qu'on s'amuse comme des fous
Je veux qu'on rie
Je veux qu'on danse
Quand c'est qu'on me mettra dans le trou

Adieu Curé je t'aimais bien
Adieu Curé je t'aimais bien tu sais
On n'était pas du même bord
On n'était pas du même chemin
Mais on cherchait le même port
Adieu Curé je vais mourir
C'est dur de mourir au printemps tu sais
Mais je pars aux fleurs la paix dans l'âme
Car vu que tu étais son confident
Je sais que tu prendras soin de ma femme
Je veux qu'on rie
Je veux qu'on danse
Je veux qu'on s'amuse comme des fous
Je veux qu'on rie
Je veux qu'on danse
Quand c'est qu'on me mettra dans le trou

Adieu l'Antoine je t'aimais pas bien
Adieu l'Antoine je t'aimais pas bien tu sais
J'en crève de crever aujourd'hui
Alors que toi tu es bien vivant
Et même plus solide que l'ennui
Adieu l'Antoine je vais mourir
C'est dur de mourir au printemps tu sais
Mais je pars aux fleurs la paix dans l'âme
Car vu que tu étais son amant
Je sais que tu prendras soin de ma femme
Je veux qu'on rie
Je veux qu'on danse
Je veux qu'on s'amuse comme des fous
Je veux qu'on rie
Je veux qu'on danse
Quand c'est qu'on me mettra dans le trou

Adieu ma femme je t'aimais bien
Adieu ma femme je t'aimais bien tu sais
Mais je prends le train pour le Bon Dieu
Je prends le train qui est avant le tien
Mais on prend tous le train qu'on peut
Adieu ma femme je vais mourir
C'est dur de mourir au printemps tu sais
Mais je pars aux fleurs les yeux fermés ma femme
Car vu que je les ai fermés souvent
Je sais que tu prendras soin de mon âme
Je veux qu'on rie
Je veux qu'on danse
Je veux qu'on s'amuse comme des fous
Je veux qu'on rie
Je veux qu'on danse
Quand c'est qu'on me mettra dans le trou

Performer(s): Perry Como;

When the days of December are numbered
And the earth begs it's snowflakes to fall
That's the time of the year that Christmas is here
With peace and goodwill for all

How I love that Christmas feeling
How I treasure it's friendly glow
See the way a stranger greets you
Just as though you'd met him Christmas's ago

Christmas helps you to remember
To do what other folks hold dear
What a blessed place the world would be
If we had the Christmas feeling all year

Christmas helps you to remember
To do what other folks hold dear
What a blessed place the world would be
If we had the Christmas feeling all year

Searching For A Soldier's Grave


Searching For A Soldier's Grave
Composer(s): Roy Acuff
Performer(s): The Louvin Brothers
and multiple other artists



You ask me stranger why I made this journey
why cross 3 thousand miles of rolling waves
like many others my loved one's killed in action
so I'm here, I'm searching for his grave
Somewhere among these many thousands
of Americans who died true and brave
that's where I know I'll find him resting
so I'm here, I'm searching for his grave
Beside each cross mark here all around me
I'll lean down and gladly pray a prayer
for all of their loved ones
back home across the ocean
whose heart like mine is buried over here
Somewhere among these many thousands
of Americans who died true and brave
that's where I know I'll find him resting
so I'm here, I'm searching for his grave

Tennessee Christmas


Tennessee Christmas
Composer(s): Amy Grant; Gary Chapman
Performer(s): Amy Grant;
and various other artists



Come on weatherman
Give us a forecast snowy white
Can't you hear the prayers
Of every childlike heart tonight?
Rockies are calling
Denver snow falling
Somebody said it's four feet deep
But it doesn't matter
Give me the laughter
I'm gonna choose to keep

Another tender Tennessee Christmas
The only Christmas for me
Where the love circles around us
Like the gift around our tree
Well I know there's more snow
Up in Colorado
Than my roof will ever see
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me

Every now and then
I got a wanderin' urge to see
Maybe California
Maybe tinsel town's for me
There's a parade there
We'd have it made there
Bring home a tan for New Year's Eve
Sure sounds exciting
Awfully inviting
Still I think I'll gonna keep

Another tender Tennessee Christmas
The only Christmas for me
Where the love circles around us
Like the gift around our tree
Well they say in L.A.
It's a warm holiday
It's the only place to be
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me

(Ooooooh, yeah, yeah)
(Ohh, you know I wanna be home)
(Ooo-oooh)

Well I know there's more snow
Up in Colorado
Than my roof will ever see
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me

A tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me

Ten Little Angels


Ten Little Angels
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Hap Palmer



One glorious Christmas morning
Ten angels did appear
And each one held an instrument
Carefully made by hand
First they counted off to ten
Playing one by one
Then they played together
In a joyful Angel Band

There was one, there were two
There were three little angels
There were four, there were five
There were six little angels
There were seven, there were eight
There were nine little angels
Ten little angels in the band

Oh, wasn't that a band, Christmas morning
Christmas morning, Christmas morning
Wasn't that a band, Christmas morning
Ten little angels in the band

Take A Walk Through Bethlehem


Take A Walk Through Bethlehem
Composer(s): Ashley Cleveland; John Barlow Jarvis; Wally Wilson
Performer(s): Trisha Yearwood
and multiple other artists



The city's decorated up for Christmas
All the stores are open late tonight
People hurry through the frozen streets
I take a walk...

Every child has a thousand wishes
Every window has a thousand lights
Every soul has a need for peace
I take a walk...

There's a star that still outshines the night

You can find it if you close your eyes
And see the light

Take a walk through Bethlehem
Come and kneel before the lamb
Good news for every man
Walk through Bethlehem

Every night another TV special
Merchants counting down the shopping days
But something's missing underneath the tree
I take a walk...

'Cause every heart longs for more than tinsel
Something more than just a holiday
Come and celebrate the baby King
Let's take a walk

You don't have to travel anywhere
Faith and hope and love will bring you there
Bring you there

Take a walk through Bethlehem
Come and kneel before the lamb
Good news for every man
Walk through Bethlehem

Sylvia's Christmas Song


Sylvia's Christmas Song
Composer(s): Karl Collan; Zachary Topelius



Och nu ar det jul i min alskade Nord
ar det jul i vart hjarta ocksa?
Och ljusen de brinna pa ragade bord
och barnen i vantan sta
Dar borta i taket dar hanger han an
der bur, som har fangat min trognaste van
och sangen har tystnat i fangelseborg
o, vem har ett hjarta for songarens sorg?
Och strala, du klaraste stjarna i skyn
blicka ned pa min alskade Nord!
Och nar du gar bort under himmelens bryn
valsigna min fadernejord!
I blommande varar pa gyllene strand
var finnes ett land som mitt fadernesland?
For dig vill jag sjunga on Karlek och var
sa lange din Sylvias hjarta slar

Performer(s): León Gieco



Hombre crea tu paz y entonces habrá flor
hombre róbate la oscuridad y también las guerras
que amanecer tan largo estamos viviendo
sin pensamientos y el hombre dejo de serlo
y el hombre dejo de serlo

Seamos todos caballos y entonces habra paz
seamos todos caballos y habra libertad
porque los caballos tienen amaneceres blancos
porque los caballos son carceleros del campo
y el hombre de sus hermanos

Seamos todos caballos y entonces habra flor
seamos todos caballos y habra color verde
porque los caballos tienen amaneceres blancos
porque los caballos son carceleros del campo
y el hombre de sus hermanos

Seamos Humanos


Seamos Humanos
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): Chelo



Aquí se nos acaba tristemente
aquello que juramos
cumplir con nuestro Dios
aquí nos despedimos para siempre
sabiendo que el olvido
se impuso a nuestro amor

No vamos a insultarnos mutuamente
ni vamos a decirnos
de quién fue la traición
no seamos tan vulgares ni tan bajos
si vamos a dejarnos
que no sea con rencor

Tan siquiera una vez en la vida
seamos humanos
por respeto al Señor de allá arriba
dame tus manos

Abrázame como antes me abrazabas
y mírame sonriendo
al fin de la ilusión
no importa que nos vean enamorados
así de apasionados
dígamonos adiós

Tan siquiera una vez en la vida
seamos humanos
por respeto al Señor de allá arriba
dame tus manos

All Things Dull And Ugly


All Things Dull And Ugly
Composer(s): Eric Idle
Performer(s): Monthy Python



All things dull and ugly
All creatures short and squat
All things rude and nasty
The Lord God made the lot
Each little snake that poisons
Each little wasp that stings
He made their brutish venom
He made their horrid wings
All things sick and cancerous
All evil great and small
All things foul and dangerous
The Lord God made them all
Each nasty little hornet
Each beastly little squid
Who made the spikey urchin
Who made the sharks
He did
All things scabbed and ulcerous
All pox both great and small
Putrid, foul and gangrenous
The Lord God made them all
Amen

Se Ami Sai


Se Ami Sai
Performer(s): Laura Pausini



Non dire no, che ti conosco e lo so cosa pensi
non dirmi no
os tempos vao
foram-se os tempos e agora te calas
tu jà nao falas se falo de amor
se tens as malas prontas, nao finjas, tudo acabou
porque jà nao se ve
o teu sorriso ao amanhecer
porque jà nao sou mais teu bem-querer
se ami sia quando tutto finisce
se ami sai come un brivido triste
come in un film dalle scene già viste
che se ne va oh no!
se o amor acaba a ninguem cabe a culpa
se o amor acaba nao cabe desculpa
agora aperte as minhas maos, sim
pra que reste o recordar, sim
ananha
e non si può
chiudere gli occhi e far finta di niente
come fai tu quando resti con me
e non trovi il coraggio di dirmi che cosa c'è.
sarà dentro di me come una notte d'inverno perchè
sarà da oggi in poi senza di te
sei que me amavas e agora è tao tarde
sei que me amavas e agora è saudade
non nosso filme o fim serà triste
nao quero ver, oh nao!
sabes que è chegada a hora das dores
dores de quando se acabam os amores
agora aperte as minhas maos, sim
pra que reste o recordar, sim
amanha
nao estaras
mais aqui

All These Things


All These Things
Composer(s): Naomi Neville
First release by: Aaron Neville - 1962



The touch of your lips next to mine
Gets me excited, makes me feel fine
I've got it bad but that's all right
Long as you're near me every night
Your love so warm and tender
Your thrill is so divine
It is all these things that make you mine

If you would leave me, I surely would die
When you started to go, I started to cry
I've got it bad but that's all right
Long as you're near me every night
Your love so warm and tender
Your thrill is so divine
It is all these things that make you mine

If you would leave me, I surely would die
When you started to go, I started to cry
I've got it bad but that's all right
Long as you're near me every night
Your love so warm and tender
Your thrill is so divine
It is all these things that make you mine

Seaman's Blues


Seaman’s Blues
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb; Talmadge Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
and multiple other artists



On my way to Italy from the Gulf of Mexico
Riding on a tanker, feeling mighty low
My good gal’s behind me, no loving for so long
I’m going back to Texas, for that’s where I belong

Nights are so lonely on the ocean
To much time to dream of yesterday
If only I could carry out my notion
And hit the trail for Texas right away

On my way to Italy from the Gulf of Mexico
Riding on a tanker, feeling mighty low
My good gal’s behind me, no loving for so long
I’m going back to Texas, for that’s where I belong

I never thought I was leaving
I could get so blue out on the sea
But I’ll bet you after all this grieving
Its that good old Texas soil for me

On my way to Italy from the Gulf of Mexico
Riding on a tanker, feeling mighty low
My good gal’s behind me, no loving for so long
I’m going back to Texas, for that’s where I belong
