Somebody Stole My Gal


Somebody Stole My Gal
Composer(s): Leo Wood
Performer(s): Florence Millett
and multiple other artists



Gee, but I'm lonesome, lonesome and blue
I've found out something I never knew
I know now what it means to be sad
For I've lost the best gal I ever had
She only left yesterday
Somebody stole her away

Somebody stole my gal
Somebody stole my pal
Somebody came and took her away
She didn't even say she was leavin'
The kisses I love so
He's getting now I know
And Gee! I know that she
Would come to me if she could see
Her broken hearted lonesome pal
Somebody stole my gal

Angels they say are only above
I know that's wrong because my old love
Sure is an angel, take it from me
And she's all the angel I want to see
Maybe she'll come back some day
All I can do now is pray

Somebody stole my gal
Somebody stole my pal
Somebody came and took her away
She didn't even say she was leavin'
The kisses I love so
He's getting now I know
And Gee! I know that she
Would come to me if she could see
Her broken hearted lonesome pal
Somebody stole my gal

And Gee! I know that she
Would come to me if she could see
Her broken hearted lonesome pal
Somebody stole my
Somebody stole my
Somebody stole my gal!

Under The Bamboo Tree


Under The Bamboo Tree
From "Sally In Our Alley"; "Nancy Brown"; "Meet Me In St. Louis"
Composer(s): John Rosamond Johnson; Bob Cole
Performer(s): Judy Garland; Margaret O'Brien;
and various other artists



Down in the jungles lived a maid
Of royal blood though dusky shade
A marked impression once she made
Upon a Zulu from Matabooloo
And ev'ry morning he would be
Down underneath the bamboo tree
Awaiting there his love to see
And then to her he'd sing

If you lak-a-me lak I lak-a-you
And we lak-a-both the same
I lak-a-say
This very day
I lak-a change your name
'Cause I love-a-you and love-a you true
And if you-a love-a me
One live as two, two live as one
Under the bamboo tree

And in this simple jungle way
He wooed the maiden ev'ry day
By singing what he had to say
One day he seized her
And gently squeezed her
And then beneath the bamboo green
He begged her to become his queen
The dusky maiden blushed unseen
And joined him in his song

If you lak-a-me lak I lak-a-you
And we lak-a-both the same
I lak-a-say
This very day
I lak-a change your name
'Cause I love-a-you and love-a you true
And if you-a love-a me
One live as two, two live as one
Under the bamboo tree

This little story strange but true
Is often told in Mataboo
Of how this Zulu tried to woo
His jungle lady
In tropics shady
Although the scene was miles away
Right here at home I dare to say
You'll hear some Zulu ev'ry day
Gush out this soft refrain

If you lak-a-me lak I lak-a-you
And we lak-a-both the same
I lak-a-say
This very day
I lak-a change your name
'Cause I love-a-you and love-a you true
And if you-a love-a me
One live as two, two live as one
Under the bamboo tree

Under The Boardwalk


Under The Boardwalk
Spanish Title: Fue En Un Cafe
Composer(s): Arthur Resnick; Kenny Young
Performer(s): The Drifters;
and various other artists



Oh, when the sun beats down
and burns the tar up on the roof
And your shoes get so hot you wish your tired feet were fire-proof
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be

(Under the boardwalk) out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be havin' some fun
(Under the boardwalk) people walking above
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be making love
Under the board-walk (board-walk!)

From the park you hear the happy sound of a carousel
Mm-mm, you can almost taste the hot dogs and French fries they sell
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea
On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be

(Under the boardwalk) out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be havin' some fun
(Under the boardwalk) people walking above
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be making love
Under the board-walk (board-walk!)

[break]

Oooooh, under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be

(Under the boardwalk) out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be havin' some fun
(Under the boardwalk) people walking above
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be falling in love
Under the board-walk (board-walk!)

Somebody Nobody Loves


Somebody Nobody Loves
Composer(s): Seymour Miller
Performer(s): Claud Thornhill
and multiple other artists



I'm somebody nobody loves
Oh me, oh my, my, my
I'm somebody nobody loves
I wonder why, why, why

Although I know it's most alarmin'
I've prayed on bended knee
For that certain gay prince charmin'
Who was meant for me

I've got to find me a somebody soon
Or else I'll die, die, die
I'd take the man in the moon
If he'd give me a try
I'm just a lonesome Cinderella
That romance passes by
I'm somebody nobody loves, oh me oh my

Under The Falling Sky


Under The Falling Sky
Composer(s): Jackson Browne
Performer(s): Jackson Browne;
Bob Meighan; Bonnie Raitt



Warm and lovely mystery, fire smiling through
Before this moment fades away I want to know you
I've got lightening in my pocket, thunder in my shoe
Have no fear I've got something here I want to show you

Low, under the falling sky
Easily we will lie
While I bring it to you

It's a low road, a high wire going from me to you
And in your eyes the distance left is closing
I've got a feeling in my oceans
Blood underneath my skin
That into your bright fields this prison is opening

Low, under the falling sky
Easily we will lie
While I bring it to you

Our shadows wake each day though they don't know why
They hope and try -- live and die
So leave them in their frozen world
Come and be my lover
If only for one stolen moment
We will live forever

Warm and lovely mystery, can you hear the choir?
Voices can no longer hold my desire
Abandon your sad history and meet me in the fire
Our angels wait to take us higher and higher
Higher and higher

Low, under the falling sky
Easily we will lie
While I bring it to you

Moitié-Moitié


Moitié-Moitié
First performance by: Carol Rich - 1987



Le monde est une balançoire interdite aux enfants
Plus tu fais monter d'un côté et plus l'autre descend
En haut c'est la vie an bleu
En bas c'est les larmes aux yeux
Ni beaucoup ni trop peu
Faudrait le juste milieu

Le monde est comme un sablier implacable et stupide
Plus tu le remplis d'un côté et plus l'autre se vide
En bas c'est plein à craquer
En haut plus rien à donner
Tant de choses à changer
Faudra faire moitié moitié

L'amour c'est moitié moitié
Toujours faire moitié moitié
Bonheur qu'on partage
Met le malheur en cage

L'amour c'est moitié moitié
Toujours faire moitié moitié
Tout le bien que l'on donne
C'est le mal qu'on emprisonne

Mais quelque part un avion fou s'écrase en plein désert
Et c'est le livre d'une vie qui redevient poussière
L'ange du hasard a frappé
Le génie s'est envolé
Son message est resté
On va faire moitié moitié

L'amour c'est moitié moitié
Toujours faire moitié moitié
Bonheur qu'on partage
Met le malheur en cage

L'amour c'est moitié moitié
Toujours faire moitié moitié
Tout le bien que l'on donne
C'est le mal qu'on emprisonne

L'amour c'est moitié moitié
Toujours faire moitié moitié
Bonheur qu'on partage
Met le malheur en cage

L'amour c'est moitié moitié
Toujours faire moitié moitié
Tout le bien que l'on donne
C'est le mal qu'on emprisonne

Tout le bien que l'on donne
C'est le mal qu'on emprisonne

Under The Influence Of Love


Under The Influence Of Love
Composer(s): Barry White; Paul Leo Politi
Performer(s): Barry White & Love Unlimited;
Kylie Minogue; Felice Taylor



Walking on a cloud
Feeling high
It happens every time
Whenever I'm with my guy

Tripping on love
And it feels so good
I can't help myself
And I wouldn't think I could

Plus he's got that certain drive
That I'm a victim to
Love's really got a hold on me
And there's nothing that I'd rather do

Oh, I'm right under the influence of love
And, I know there ain't no doubt about it
I'm under the influence of love
And I know I just can't live without it

Need another dose
Can't get enough
I've just got to have
All of my baby's love

And, when I'm alone
Feeling sad and blue
He gives me a shot of love
And I'm as good as new

Helpless as I am
Ask me, I don't care
His tenderness is what I miss
Whenever he's not here

Oh, I'm under the influence of love
And, I know there ain't no doubt about it
I'm under the influence of love
And I know I just can't live without it

There just ain't no one else
Who can bring out the love in me
So many guys have tried
They've tried to catch my eye
But he's the only one I see

Oh, I'm under the influence of love
And, I know there ain't no doubt about it
I'm under the influence of love
And I know I just can't live without it

(Fades to End)

Oh, I'm under the influence of love
And, I know there ain't no doubt about it

Somebody loves you sweetheart can't you see
And that somebody is me

Under The Mellow Arabian Moon


Under The Mellow Arabian Moon
Composer(s): Caspar Nathan; J. Walter Leopold
Performer(s): The New Leviathan Oriental Foxtrot Orch.



My heart's in Arabia tonight
Where stars shine bright on desert sand
Where the moon sends blessings with its light
From far above, oh, land, of love

When the oriole high in the trees
Goes to its nest in search of rest
Then my fancy journey o'er the seas
Thro' desert sand to Arab land

Under the mellow Arabian moon
With an Arabian maid in the desert shade
Humming a sweet Arabian tune
Turkish melodies floating on the breeze
Holding someone by the hand
In that far off desert land
Let me tell you that's the way to spoon
Just get an Arab sweetheart
Under the the mellow Arabian moon
Tell her pretty things, do your wanderings
Where cold December seems like June
You will be content in the Orient
You'll find lots of pleasure there, love and music in the air
Under the mellow Arabian moon

Somebody loves me, I wonder who

Under The Rainbow


Under The Rainbow
Composer(s): B. Bergman; Claude Moine; P. Papadianmandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



La maison vide, l'frigo à l'abandon
Faut dire qu'elle enterre sa vie de glaçon
J'aurais plus à m'demander c'qu'il lui faut
Il l'emmène où il fait moins chaud
J'amenais son plateau, le journal, chaque soir
J'avais droit à deux minutes comme au parloir
Au pas de sa porte j'entendais juste son "bonsoir"

Un mot
Me projetait "under the rainbow"

Under the rainbow
Dessous, dans le noir
Fidèle serviteur
L'ombre de la star
Son homme de couleur
Blanc de peau
Noir de cœur
Under the rainbow

Ils ont décollé une nuit sans raison
Sans même couper la climatisation
J'ai les clés, les papiers de la maison
A vendre à la fin d'la saison
Pour prouver mon dévouement au labeur
M'a signe un certificat de travailleur...
De l'argent dans une enveloppe... son odeur
C'est trop
C'est too much "under the rainbow"

Under the rainbow
Dessous dans le noir
Fidèle serviteur
L'ombre de la star
Son homme de couleur
Blanc de peau
Noir de cœur
Under the rainbow

En Lille Melodi


En Lille Melodi
Composer(s): Helge Engelbrecht First performance by: Anne-Cathrine Herdorf & Drengene - 1987



Jord'n er din og min
Uh... det sted vi holder af
Pas godt på den - det er en fælles sag

Der skal mere til
End blot at si' vi ved
Prøv engang med denne sang

Det var en lille melodi
Vi synger her
Men syng kun med og se så
Hvad der sker
Til sammen ka' vi sikkert bli'
Det største kor
En sang kan bli' til mere
End du tror

Ligegyldigt hvem vi er
Og ligegyldigt hvor vi bor
Så har vi alle lånt den samme jord
Uh yeah...

Men husk alligevel
Det starter altid med dig selv
Prøv engang
Uh... med denne sang

Det var en lille melodi
Et nemt refrain
Som godt kan synges om og om -
Uh yeah... igen
Til sammen ka' vi sikkert bli'
Det største kor
En sang kan bli' til mere
End du tror

(Syng en sang og bli' alles ven)
Oh yeah yeah...
(Lad os synge igen)
Oh whoa yeah...
(Syng en sang om en bedre jord)
(Det hjælper mere, end du tror)

Det var en lille melodi
Et nemt refrain
Som godt kan synges om og om -
Oh yeah... igen
Til sammen ka' vi sikkert bli'
Det største kor
En sang kan bli' til mere
End du tror

Underbart Är Kort


Underbart Är Kort
Composer(s): Povel Ramel
Performer(s): Povel Ramel;
Björn Skifs; Monica Zetterlund



Bara en enda ros på ett evigt klänge
så är livet
trist varar länge
men underbart är kort, alldeles för kort

Följer du ödets stig genom dunkla gränder
når dig solen en glimt i sänder
ty underbart är kort, alldeles för kort

På var sommaräng du finner bara en lyckoklöver
någonstans
och likaså en enda gång du möter
just den vän du behöver
så tag din chans
men fort, innan den flyr bort
underbart är kort
alldeles för kort

Un Volet Bat De L'Aile


Un Volet Bat De L'Aile
Composer(s): Nicolas Peyrac
Performer(s): Nicolas Peyrac



Un volet bat de l'aile
De la fenêtre du jardin
On devine la mer
Et la brise marine
Vient frapper au carreau
A l'abri dans notre île
On se parle à mi-mots
Et les cigales chantent
Les fourmis font des provisions
Dans quelques mois l'hiver
Pêche d'or, abricot sous le soleil
Tu as la peau qui sommeille
Je te dévore des yeux
En attendant de faire mieux
Un peu mieux

Et le sable se traîne
Quelquefois aux pieds de la mer
Pour se faire pardonner
De s'être laissé faire
L'amour par tant d'étés
D'avoir perdu la guerre
Tant de fois sans compter
Et la mer lui pardonne
Elle se souvient de ses amants
Comme si c'était hier
Pêche d'or, abricot sous le soleil
Tu as la peau qui sommeille
Je te dévore des yeux
En attendant de faire mieux
Un peu mieux

Ma mémoire bat de l'aile
De nos fenêtres sur la cour
On devine la pluie
Et la neige s'affole
Derrière nos carreaux
Elle emmène à l'école
Tous les enfants du métro

Un volet bat de l'aile
De la fenêtre de l'amour
On ne voit pas l'hiver

Sata Salamaa


Sata Salamaa
Composer(s): Petri Laaksonen - Veika Lehto
First performance by: Virve Rosti - 1987



Pimenee valkeat maat
Laulupuut vaikenevat
Katujen lapset piiloutuu, kun rajuilma nousee
Pelätään pelkomme pois
Mikään ei viedä mua vois
Kun rakkaus kiinni painautuu ja sydän lämpenee

Vaik sata salamaa iskee tulta ja koko elämä räjähtää
Ei rakkautta voi riistää multa
Toivo jäljelle jää

Kun sata aurinkoo meille paistaa ja laiva valmis on nousemaan
Minä turvaan vien tämän rakkauden ja me löydämme uuden maan

Lähelläs lämpösi saan
Unelma uupuvan maan
Viimeinen haave viimalta yön meille suojan antaa
Totuuden toivossas nään
Liekin luot kuiskaten tään
Vain rakkaus meidät perille vie
Se meidät pelastaa

Vaik sata salamaa iskee tulta ja koko elämä räjähtää
Ei rakkautta voi riistää multa
Toivo jäljelle jää

Kun sata aurinkoo meille paistaa ja laiva valmis on nousemaan
Minä turvaan vien tämän rakkauden ja me löydämme uuden maan

On tuolla tuhannet maailmat ja yksi niistä meidän on

Vaik sata salamaa iskee tulta ja koko elämä räjähtää
Minä turvaan vien tämän rakkauden ja me löydämme uuden maan
Minä turvaan vien tämän rakkauden ja me löydämme uuden maan
Vaihdan maan maahan valkeaan

Una Canzone, Forse, Naserà


Una Canzone, Forse, Naserà
Composer(s): Calabrese; Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Come un poliziotto al centro d'una inchiesta
Su qualunque pista seguo i miei chissà
Blocco le parole silla rima giusta
Passo ad interrogare le sonorità
L'inventiva poi segue in una morsa
Non la mollo più una volta qua
Metto le manette a metrica e a discorso
E una canzone, forse, nascerà
Come un protettore vivo d'espedienti
Terrorizzo il piano
Per strappargli un sì
Ricatto i sogni, sfrutto i miei ricordi
Taglieggiando note, vado via così
Poi per far cantare una melodia
Cambio sia sistema che tonalità
Pronto a far man bassa sopra l'armonia
E una canzone, forse, nascerà
Come inquisitore attacco a porte chiuse
Implacabilmente questa nullità
Ma per la difesa provo che le accuse
Sono tutte false, qui risplenderà
La mia avidità di patrocinatore
E fuori di qui mando in libertà
Musica ee parole, coniugate a vita
E una canzone, forse, nascerà
