She (Charles Aznavour)

She
May be the face I can't forget
A trace of pleasure I regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She may be the song that Solomon sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
My be a hundred tearful things
Within the measure of the day

She
May be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dream
A smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside, a shell

She
Who always seems so happy to crow
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one' s allowed to see them when they cry
She may be the love that can and hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I remember till the day I die

She
May be the reason I survive
The why and where for I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough and rainy years
Me I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I got to be
The meaning of my life is

She, she .....she

Quiero Ser Tu Amante Nuevamente


Quiero Ser Tu Amante Nuevamente
Composer(s): J.M. Gallardo
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Bienvenida a está noche
que está en calma la ciudad
y que todo vuelve a ser, como era ayer
Unas copas de champagne
los dos juntos sin gritar
y de fondo la canción, con que te ame
Quizás no haya otra ocasión
para salvar, a nuestro amor
Quiero ser tu amante nuevamente
quiero enamorarte nuevamente
quiero está noche hacerte mía
como el primer día que te ame
No me dejes hoy dormir
con la fría sensación
que la cama es muy grande, para los dos
Quiero navegar en ti
navega tú, también en mi
Quiero ser tu amante nuevamente
quiero conquistarte nuevamente
quiero que despiertes en mis brazos
y que seas de nuevo mi mujer
No, no quiero más sentir la sensación
que la cama es muy grande para dos
Quiero ser tu amante nuevamente
quiero descubrirte nuevamente
quiero hoy salvar nuestro cariño
tal vez pueda ser la última vez

Zij heeft het gezicht waar ik van hou
zo vol met warmte vol van trouw
praat over liefde zoals zij dat zeggen kan
zij die met me huilt en met me lacht
haar lieve ogen zeggen zacht
ik sta voor je klaar echt dag en nacht
waar ik voor leef ja dat ben jij

Zij is voor mij de mooiste op het strand
ik loop met haar dan hand in hand
en voel me even in 'n hemel waar liefde heerst
want zij geeft mij ft gevoel dat ik besta
beloftes komt ze altijd na
maar zij weet dat ik naast haar sta ik leef voor jou

Zij staat voor 'n ander altijd klaar
heb je problemen kom en zeg 't haar

Quiero Un Amante


Quiero Un Amante
Performer(s): Raphael



Mi madre lloraba y mi madre reia
Y el tiempo pasaba y ella envejecia
Cogido a sus faldas aprendi a quererla
Pero ella lloraba su cama vacia
No tuve mas padre que un simple apellido
Y fue mi madre, padre y madre, todo sola
Y luego triste en su cama sentada, mi madre cantaba

Yo quiero un amante
Quiero un amante
Quiero un amante
Quiero un amante
Quiero un amigo
Quiero una vida
De la que no pueda avergonzarme
Del panadero o del portero
De todo el barrio que quiere espiarme
Quiero un amor, quiero cualquier cosa
De la que no tenga que ocultarme

Tal vez ahora es tarde para comprenderla
Pero me doy cuenta, no debi acusarte
No supe entender que te sintieras sola
En las noches frias al ir a acostarte
Perdona, perdona
Tu cancion es buena, es limpia y la debi cantar contigo

Yo quiero un amante
Quiero un amante
Quiero un amante
Quiero un amante
Quiero un amigo
Quiero una vida
De la que no deba avergonzarme
Del panadero o del portero
Y de mi hijo que quiere juzgarme
Quiero un amor, quiero cualquier cosa
De la que no pueda ocultarme
De la que no deba avergonzarme
Del panadero o del portero
Y de mi hijo que quiere juzgarme
Quiero un amor para no ocultarme
Que quiero un amante
Yo quiero un amante
Necesito un amante
Quiero un amante
Quiero un amor
Quiero una vida

Performer(s): Laura Pausini - 2006

Titles In Other Languages:
1974 - She
1987 - Waar Ik Voor Leef



Lei il viso che non scorderai
L’orgoglio ed il coraggio lei
Come un tesoro l’oro dentro gli occhi suoi
Lei l'estate che ricanterai
il giorno che ricorderai
e mille cose che non sai
che può insegnarti solo lei

lei la tua ragione il tuo perché
il centro del tuo vivere
la luce di un mattino che
che non perderai lei lo
specchio dove tornerai
dove ti riconoscerai
semplicemente come sei, uguale a lei

Lei l'estate che ricanterai
il giorno che ricorderai
e mille cose che non sai
che può insegnarti solo lei

lei regala i suoi sorrisi senza mai
svelare al mondo quando non ne ha
privando il suo dolore libertà
lei forse è l'amore che non ha pietà
che ti arricchisce con la povertà
di un gesto semplice che eternità

lei la tua ragione il tuo perché
il centro del tuo vivere
la luce di un mattino che
che non perderai
lei lo specchio dove tornerai
dove ti riconoscerai
semplicemente come sei
esattamente come lei
lei....lei.....lei.....

Quiero Vivir Contigo


Quiero Vivir Contigo
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Quiero vivir contigo
como vive el planeta en la esfera
y la luna en el mar
como el destino en el camino
y así siendo distintos en la misma
identidad
seré el deseo tuyo dentro de mi voluntad,
quiero vivir
quiero vivir contigo
Quiero vivir contigo
como vive la llama en el centro
de la claridad
como en el texto vive el pretexto
así yo quiero ser palabra en tu
conversación
como la voz es música cuando se hace
canción
quiero vivir
quiero vivir contigo
quiero vivir contigo
como vive el todo la nada
y el bien en el mal
como el espejo
en su reflejo
así ya quiero ser la luz de tu
contradicción
y verme como imagen de tu propia
reflexión
quiero vivir
quiero vivir contigo

Lei (Charles Aznavour)

Performer(s): Charles Aznavour - 1974

Titles In Other Languages:
1974 - She
1987 - Waar Ik Voor Leef



Lei, forse sara' la prima che
Io non potro' dimenticar
La mia fortuna o il prezzo che, dovro' pagar
Lei, la canzone nata qui
Che ha gia' cantato chissa' chi
L'aria d'estate che ora c'e'
Nel primo autunno su di me..
Lei, la schiavitu' la liberta'
Il dubbio la serenita'
Preludio a giorni luminosi oppure bui
Lei, sara' lo specchio dove io
Riflettero' progetti e idee
Il fine ultimo che avro', da ora in poi

Lei, cosi' importante cosi' unica
Dopo la lunga solitudine
Intransigente e imprevedibile
Lei, forse l'amore troppo atteso che
Dall'ombra del passato torna a me
Per starmi accanto fino a che vivro'
Lei, a cui io non rinuncerei
Sopravvivendo accanto a lei
Ad anni, combattuti ed avversita'
Lei, sorrisi e lacrime da cui
Prendono forma i sogni miei
Ovunque vada arriverei
A passo a passo accanto a lei
Lei, lei, lei

Quiet


Quiet
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Paul Simon; Christine Collister



I am heading for a time of quiet
When my restlessness is past
And I can lie down on my blanket
And release my fists at last

I am heading for a time of solitude
Of peace without illusions
When the perfect circle
Marries all beginnings and conclusions

And when they say
That you're not good enough
Well the answer is
You're not
But who are they
Or what is it
That eats at what you've got
With the hunger of ambition
For the change inside the purse
They are handcuffs on the soul, my friends
Handcuffs on the soul
And worse

I am heading for a place of quiet
Where the sage and sweetgrass grow
By a lake of sacred water
From the mountain's melted snow

Toi, par tes mille et un attraits
Je ne sais jamais qui tu es
Tu changes si souvent de visage et d'aspect
Toi quelque soit ton âge et ton nom
Tu es un ange ou le démon
Quand pour moi tu prends tour à tour
Tous les visages de l'amour

Toi, si Dieu ne t'avait modelé
Il m'aurait fallu te créer
Pour donner à ma vie sa raison d'exister
Toi qui est ma joie et mon tourment
Tantôt femme et tantôt enfant
Tu offres à mon cœur chaque jour
Tous les visages de l'amour

Moi, je suis le feu qui grandit ou qui meure
Je suis le vent qui rugit ou qui pleure
Je suis la force ou la faiblesse
Moi, je pourrais défier le ciel et l'enfer
Je pourrais dompter la terre et la mer
Et réinventer la jeunesse

Toi, viens fais moi ce que tu veux
Un homme heureux ou malheureux
Un mot de toi je suis poussière ou je suis Dieu
Toi, sois mon espoir, sois mon destin
J'ai si peur de mes lendemains
Montre à mon âme sans secours
Tous les visages de l'amour
Toi! tous les visages de l'amour

Quiet Life


Quiet Life
Composer(s): Ray Davies
Performer(s): Ray Davies



Something's happenin' but I'm just gonna turn a blind eye.
If I see no evil, ask no questions, and I hear no lies
Can't communicate with minds that are small
With some people it's like talkin' to the wall
And a fellow who walks away
lives to battle another day
And I've really got no appetite for a fight
Not tonight

All I want is a quiet life
Anything for a quiet life
No ambition to rock the boat
When I can just stay afloat

Be content with a quiet life
All I want is a quiet life
Anything for a quiet life
Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil at all
Confidentially, between these walls
I'm on top of it all

I'd rather have 'em think I'm deaf, dumb, and blind
Than aggravation every time I speak my mind
Keep schtum and have a quiet life
Anything for a quiet life

I could easily blow my top
Start a row
But why start now?

Give your daddy a quiet life
Give your mother a quiet life
Anything for a quiet life

(instrumental section)

Give your daddy a quiet life
Give your mother a quiet life
Anything for a quiet life
Confidentially, between these walls
I'm on top of it all

Quiet Love


Quiet Love
French Title: Mon Émouvant Amour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour & Liza Minnelli



Charles:
Tu vis dans un silence éternel et muet
Je traduis tes regards et lis dans tes sourires
Interprétant les mots que tes mains veulent dire
Dans ton language étrange qui semble être un ballet

Un émouvant ballet que tu règles pour moi
De gestes fascinants qui sont jamais les mêmes
Et quand du bout des doigts tu murmures je t'aime
J'ai l'impression parfois comme entendre ta voix

Mon amour, mon amour
Mon amour, mon amour
Mon amour, mon émouvant amour
Mon merveilleux amour
Mon déchirant amour

Liza:
You see, my lover makes no sound
His language is his hands
I watch his fingers dance and try to understand
I try to understand his elegant ballet
In my heart I can hear the words he longs to say

And so I've learned to speak a language he can hear
To tell him how I feel whenever he his near
He lives around the block, it's just a little walk
We'll meet tonight at eight
At eight tonight, we'll talk

Oh my love, oh my love
Quiet love, quiet love
I am calm whenever you are near
And somehow I can hear what your heart wants to say

Both:
Comme pour te parler
I have a small surprise
Je manquais de moyens
To spring on you tonight
Me trouvant près de toi
I'm learning how to sign
Comme en terre étrangère
Please God I get it right
Ne pouvant me servir
It's something that you do
D'aucun vocabulaire
With confidence and ease
À mon tour j'ai appris
I'm clumsier than you
Le langage des mains
This might come out Chinese
Tu ris un peu de moi
But come and fill my heart
Quand tu vois mes efforts
Its never danced this way
Car je suis maladroit
I'm nervous and it's hard
Et fais souvent des gaffes
I have so much to say
Je n'ai jamais été
I've always been afraid
Très fort en orthographe
My dream seemed so unreal
Mais j'ai tant à te dire
But now I bless this world
Et je t'aime si fort
For how you make me feel

Mon amour
Oh, my love
Mon amour
Oh, my love
Mon amour
You are shy
Mon amour
So am I
Mon amour
But if you would tell me that it's true
Mon émouvant amour
You feel the way I do
Mon merveilleux amour
Then tomorrow can start
Mon déchirant amour
As we are, together we'll grow old
Mon amour, mon émouvant amour
For wise men always say
Mon merveilleux amour
That in silence
Mon déchirant amour
There's gold

I have a sad story to tell you
It may hurt your feelings a bit
Last night when I walked into my bathroom
I stepped in a big pile of ...

Shaving cream, be nice and clean
Shave everyday and you'll always look keen

I think I'll break off with my girlfriend
Her antics are queer I'll admit
Each time I say, "Darling, I love you"
She tells me that I'm full of ...

Shaving cream, be nice and clean
Shave everyday and you'll always look keen

Our baby fell out of the window
You'd think that her head would be split
But good luck was with her that morning
She fell in a barrel of ...

Shaving cream, be nice and clean
Shave everyday and you'll always look keen

An old lady died in a bathtub
She died from a terrible fit
In order to fulfill her wishes
She was buried in six feet of ...

Shaving cream, be nice and clean
Shave everyday and you'll always look keen

When I was in France with the army
One day I looked into my kit
I thought I would find me a sandwich
But the darn thing was loaded with ...

Shaving cream, be nice and clean
Shave everyday and you'll always look keen

And now, folks, my story is ended
I think it is time I should quit
If any of you feel offended
Stick your head in a barrel of ...

Shaving cream, be nice and clean
Shave everyday and you'll always look keen

Quiet nights and quiet stars
Quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us

Quiet walks by quiet streams
And the window lookin' on the mountains and the sea how lovely
This is where to be
Here with you so close to me
Till the final flicker of life's ember
I who was lost and lonely
Believing life was a only a bitter tragic joke
Have found with you the meaning of existence oh, my love
This is where to be
Here with you so close to me
Till the final flicker of life's ember
I who was lost and lonely
Believing life was a only a tragic joke
Have found with you the meaning of existence oh, my love

Clean shirt, new shoes
and I don't know where I am goin' to
Silk suit, black tie

Gold watch, diamond ring
I ain't missin' a single thing
And cufflinks, stick pin
when I step out I'm gonna do you in
They come runnin' just as fast as they can

Top coat, top hat

Black shades, white gloves
lookin' sharp and lookin' for love
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
coz every girl grazy 'bout a sharp dressed man

Johnny Hammond; Chip Shelton;
Gerald Veasley; Mobb Deep



Soft & warm, a quiet storm
Quiet as when flowers talk at break of dawn, break of dawn
A power source of tender force
Generatin', radiatin', turn me on, turn me on
Ah you short-circuit all my nerves
Promisin' electric things
You touch me & suddenly there's rainbow rings
Quiet storm blowin' through my life, uh huh
Quiet storm blowin' through my life, ah
Blow, baby

A windy sigh, weak am I
Butterfly caught up in the hurricane, hurricane
Lucky me, I'm barely free
Suddenly I'm caught up in your somber rain
Ah shower me with your sweet love
I will bathe in every drop through all the seasons
Let it pour & never stop
Quiet storm blowin' through my life, through my life
You're just like a
Quiet storm blowin' through my life

(instrumental)

Ah shower me with your sweet love
I will bathe in every drop through all the seasons
Let it pour & never stop
Quiet storm blowin' through my life, through my life
You're just like a
Quiet storm blowin' through my life
Blow, baby

Moi, jai vu petite maman hier soir
En train dembrasser le Père Noël
Ils étaient sous le gui et me croyaient endormi
Mais sans en avoir lair, javais les deux yeux entrouverts

Ha! Si papa était venu à passer
Je me demande ce quil aurait pensé
Aurait-il trouvé naturel
Parce quil descend du ciel
Que maman embrasse le Père Noël

Moi, jai vu petite maman hier soir
En train dembrasser le Père Noël
Jai bien cherché pourquoi et jai deviné, je crois
Cest parce quil mavait apporté de si beaux jouets

Aussi, pour lan prochain jai bon espoir
Quil viendra encore à mon appel
Et de nouveau je ferai semblant
De dormir profondément
Si maman embrasse le Père Noël

Et de nouveau je ferai semblant
De dormir profondément
Si maman embrasse le Père Noël

Sharkey's Day


Sharkey's Day
Composer(s): Laurie Anderson
Performer(s): Laurie Anderson



Sun's coming up
Like a big bald head
Poking up over the grocery store
It's Sharkey's day
It's Sharkey's day today

Sharkey wakes up and Sharkey says
There was this man...
And there was this road...
And if only I could remember these dreams...
I know they're trying to tell me...something.
Ooooeee
Strange dreams (Strange dreams)
Oh yeah

And Sharkey says
I turn around, it's fear
I turn around again
And it's love
Oh yeah
Strange dreams

And the little girls sing
Oooee Sharkey
And the manager says
Mr. Sharkey? He's not at his desk right now
Could I take a message?
And the little girls sing
Oooeee Sharkey
He's Mister Heartbreak
They sing
Oooeee Sharkey
Yeah
He's Mister Heartbreak

And Sharkey says
All of nature talks to me
If I could just figure out what it was trying to tell me
Listen!
Trees are swinging in the breeze
They're talking to me
Insects are rubbing their legs together
They're all talking
They're talking to me
And short animals
They're bucking up on their hind legs
Talking
Talking to me
Hey! Look out! Bugs are crawling up my legs!
You know? I'd rather see this on TV
Tones it down

And Sharkey says
I turn around, it's fear
I turn around again, and it's love
Nobody knows me
Nobody knows my name

And Sharkey says
All night long I think of those little planes up there
Flying around
You can't even see them
They're specks!
And they're full of tiny people
Going places

And Sharkey says
You know? I bet they could all land on the head of a pin
And the little girls sing
Ooooeee
Sharkey!
He's Mister Heartbreak
They sing
Oooeee
That Sharkey!
He's a slow dance on the edge of the lake
He's a whole landscape gone to seed
He's gone wild!
He's screeching tires on an oil slick at midnight on the road to Boston a long time ago

And Sharkey says
Lights! Camera! Action! Timber!
At the beginning of the movie, they know they have to find each other
But they ride off in opposite directions

Sharkey says
I turn around, it's fear
I turn around again, and it's love
Nobody knows me
Nobody knows my name

You know? They're growing mechanical trees
They grow to their full height
And then they chop themselves down

Sharkey says
All of life comes from some strange lagoon
It rises up, it bucks up to it's full height from a boggy swamp on a foggy night
It creeps into your house
It's life! It's life!
I turn around, it's fear
I turn around again, and it's love
Nobody knows me
Nobody knows my name

Deep in the heart of darkest America
Home of the brave
Ha! Ha! Ha! You've already paid for this
Listen to my heart beat

And the little girls sing
Oooeee Sharkey
He's a slow dance on the edge of the lake
They sing
Ooooeeee
Sharkey
He's Mister Heartbreak
Paging Mr. Sharkey
White courtesy telephone please

And Sharkey says
I turn around, it's fear
I turn around again, and it's love

And the little girls sing
Ooooeee Sharkey
Yeah
On top of Old Smokey all covered with snow
That's where I wanna, that's where I'm gonna
That's where I'm gonna go

Qu'il Est Loin L'Amour


Qu'il Est Loin L'Amour
Composer(s): Claude Lemesle; Alain Goraguer
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri



Qu'il est loin loin loin l'amour
Quand tu marches à sa rencontre
Et qu'il marche à ton secours
Mais à l'autre bout du monde
Qu'il est loin loin loin l'amour
Tout au bout de ce voyage
Parsemé de carrefours
De prénoms et de visages

{Refrain:}
Mon vieux monde joli renom
Quelle blonde est pour ce blond
Quelle brune pour celui-ci
Toi pour l'une, moi pour lui
Mon vieux monde joli renom
Quelle blonde est pour ce blond
Quelle brune pour celui-ci
Toi pour l'une, moi pour lui
Qu'il est loin loin loin l'amour
Et pourtant parfois si proche
Même Rue du Vieux Faubourg
Même immeuble même porche
Qu'il est loin loin loin l'amour
Quand tu t'endors solitaire
Demain est un autre jour
Elle arrive la lumière

{au Refrain, 2x}
