Somewhere They Can't Find Me


Somewhere They Can't Find Me (aka Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.)
Composer(s): Paul Simon
First release by: Simon & Garfunkel - 1966



I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love
As she lies here beside me, asleep with the night
And her hair in a fine mist floats on my pillow
Reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight

But I've got to creep down the alley way
Fly down the highway
Before they come to catch me I'll be gone
Somewhere they can't find me

Oh baby, you don't know what I've done
I've committed a crime, I've broken the law
While you were here sleeping and just dreaming of me
I held up and robbed a liquor store

But I've got to creep down the alley way
Fly down the highway
Before they come to catch me I'll be gone
Somewhere they can't find me

Oh my life seems unreal, my crime an illusion
A scene badly written in which I must play
And though it puts me uptight to leave you
I know it's not right to leave you
The morning is just a few hours away

But I've got to creep down the alley way
Fly down the highway
Before they come to catch me I'll be gone
Somewhere they can't find me

Com todo ia
Todo não ia

A gente vai levando
A gente vai levando
A gente vai levando essa guia

Yamma-Yamma


Yamma-Yamma
Composer(s): M. Paavonen - Hector
First performance by: Pave Maijanen - 1992



(Yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma ya...)
(Yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma ya...)

Siitä aikaa on kun putkiradiota kuunneltiin
Ajatuksissamme tuota laatikkoa muunneltiin

Sen sisällä sata oli soittajaa
Ne oli pieniä, eikä niitä nähdä saa
Yammaillaan ja kuunnellaan saundeja vanhan radion
Se soi kuin stadion vaikka niin snadi on

(Yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma ya...)
(Yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma ya...)

Kun lauloi radiossa Sinatra tai John Lennon
Noissa tuokioissa siemeniä onnen on
O o o

(Yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma ya...)
(Yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma...)

Sen sisällä sata oli soittajaa
Ne oli pieniä, eikä niitä nähdä saa
Yammaillaan ja kuunnellaan saundeja vanhan radion
Se soi kuin stadion vaikka niin snadi on

(Yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma ya...)
(Yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma ya...)

(Yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma ya...)
(Yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma yamma ya...)

Vahine, Va


Vahine, Va
Composer(s): Michel Berger
Performer(s): France Gall



Dans une rue monotone de la capitale
Il se réveille l'automne pour une nuit banale
Ils ont volé sa vie avec leur drôle de morale
Mais je suis son enfant sa revanche idéale

C'est un surnom bizarre qu'il m'a inventé
Il lui rappelle les voyages qu'il imaginait
Le soir assise sur le bord de son lit
Je le laisse me donner ses conseils pour ma vie

Vahine, là où ton cœur t'appelle, va
Vahine, là où l'amour te cherche, va
Vahine, joue-moi la musique de ton île
Moi qui jamais ne connaîtrais la vie facile
Vahine, là où ton cœur t'appelle, va

Quand le soleil se couche sur Paris déjà flou
Je vais me réfugier seule à ses genoux
Je revois mon enfance et ma liberté
Et le gris de la pierre peu à peu s'effacer

Vahine, là où ton cœur t'appelle, va
Vahine, là où l'amour te cherche, va
Vahine, joue-moi la musique de ton île
Moi qui jamais ne connaîtrais la vie facile
Vahine, là où ton cœur t'appelle, va
Vahine, là où l'amour te cherche, va
Vahine, va...

Somewhere There's A Someone


Somewhere There's A Someone
Composer(s): Baker Knight
Performer(s): Dean Martin; Jussi Syren



Somewhere there's a someone for everyone
Somewhere there's a someone for me
Though I may be lonely now
I'll see it through somehow
To someone's heart I know I hold the key

Somewhere there's a someone for everyone
Somewhere there's a someone for me
And I'll search my whole life through
Until I find a love that's true
For I know somewhere there's a someone for me

(Somewhere)
(Somewhere)
And I'll search my whole life through
Until I find a love that's true
For I know somewhere there's a someone for me
For I know somewhere there's a someone for me

Vahevala


Vahevala
Composer(s): Kenny Loggins; Dan Lottermoser
Performer(s): Loggins & Messina; The Searchers



I'm thinkin' 'bout
When I was a sailor
Spend my time on the
open seas
when we'd stay off the
coast of Jamaica

I'd secretly steal ashore
when natives waitin' for
the boy with the lazy soul
Sing with the sailor....

Vahevala
Home of Sailor
Vahevala
Homeward Sail Away

Vahevala
Home of Sailor
Vahevala
Homeward Sail Away

Every evening I'd be gone
Back on board by break of dawn

I'm thinkin' 'bout
The nights in Jamaica
Pretty girls dancin' here and there
Stole a Keg
and now I'm drunk as a Sailor

And Captain he don't know
where Billy he done go
but I'm singing with native girls
the song of a sailor

Vahevala
Home of Sailor
Vahevala
Homeward Sail Away

Vahevala
Home of Sailor
Vahevala
Homeward Sail Away

Every sailor sail away
You'd better be back on board by break of day....

Hold hold on me there
hold hold on the way

Every night in Jamaica I sing with the lady
and drink with the men till the morning appear
When the sunshine is fresh on my face
The song of the night put the ring in my ear

Nei Eða Já


Nei Eða Já
First performance by: Heart 2 Heart - 1992



Efasemdir og ýmis vafamál, oft á tíðum valda mér ama
Verðum þú og ég, á sjafnarvængjum senn, mmm...
Eða verður allt við það sama?
Svörin liggja í loftinu
En samt sem áður ég sífellt hika
Nei eða já? Nú eða þá? Aldrei mér tekst að tak' af skarið
Vakin og sofin ég, velti þér endalaust fyrir mér
Nei eða já? Af eða á? Erfitt er oft að finna svarið
Þó á ég von á því að finna það hjá þér
Ævintýravef, þú eflaust spinnur mér, mmm...
Ef við náum saman um síðir
Samt er ómögulegt að sjá, sögulokin og svörin fyrir
Nei eða já? Nú eða þá? Aldrei mér tekst að tak' af skarið
Vakin og sofin ég, velti þér endalaust fyrir mér
Nei eða já? Af eða á? Erfitt er oft að finna svarið
Þó á ég von á því að finna það hjá þér
Hugurinn hendist áfram og aftur á bak
Heilluð ég er, samt er ég hikandi enn
Nei eða...
Nei eða já? Nú eða þá? Aldrei mér tekst að tak' af skarið
Vakin og sofin ég, velti þér endalaust fyrir mér
Nei eða já? Af eða á? Erfitt er oft að finna svarið
Þó á ég von á því að finna það (hjá þér)
Nei eða já? Nú eða þá? Aldrei mér tekst að tak' af skarið
Vakin og sofin ég, velti þér endalaust fyrir mér
Nei eða já? Af eða á? Erfitt er oft að finna svarið
Þó á ég von á því að finna það
Von á því að finna það
Von á því að finna það hjá þér
Hjá þér
Nei eða já?

Vagabondage


Vagabondage
Composer(s): Bruce Cockburn; Marcel Moussette
Performer(s): Bruce Cockburn



Vagabondage
La danse du paysage
Et dans les nuages
Le decoupage
D'un tour billon avec des naufrages
Vagabondage

Toujours en route
Nous sommes encore en route
On joue du tambour
On joue de la flute
Comme l'eau qui bondit d'une chute
Nous sommes en route

Et bientot
Dans le berceau
Un autre petit tzigane
Qui jouera du piano
Pour les chemineaux
Dans les bistros de la lune

Saut perilleux
Subitement il pleut
De la lumiere partout
Et puis tout a coup
Nous sommes trois clowns fabuleux
Faisant des sauts perilleux

Nous cinglons
Dans le wagon
D'un train qui grandit sans cesse
Comme l'univers:
Haute dans les airs
Une rose des veuts
Pointe vers des nouvelles plages

----------


English Translation: Drifting



drifting
the dance of the landscape
and in the clouds
the cutout
of a whirlwind with shipwrecks
drifting

always on our way
again we're on our way
somebody plays the drum
somebody plays the flute
like water leaping from a waterfall
we're on our way

and soon
in the cradle
another little gypsy
who will play the piano
for the hobos
in the bars on the moon

somersault
suddenly it's raining
light all over the place
and then all at once
we're three improbable clowns
doing somersaults

we skim along
in the coach
of a train that's perpetually expanding
like the universe:
high in the air
a compass-card
points toward new shores

Somewhere There Is Someone


Somewhere There Is Someone
Composer(s): Dave Heisler - Charles Nathan
Performer(s): Lou Monte



Though we may not meet tomorrow
Though she may be far from me
Somewhere there is someone
Someone meant for me only

Though it may be Spain or Cairo
Or some far off tropic isle
Somewhere there is someone
Waiting there all the while

To heaven above I pray
Wherever my love may be
Please tell her I'll find a way
And let her know she belongs to me

And with every new tomorrow
I look forward anxiously
Somewhere there is someone
Someone meant just for me

To heaven above I pray
Wherever my love may be
Please tell her I'll find a way
And let her know she belongs to me

And with every new tomorrow
I look forward anxiously
Somewhere there is someone
Someone meant just for me

Vagabond Dreams


Vagabond Dreams
Composer(s): Jack Lawrence; Hoagy Carmichael
Performer(s): Glenn Miller; Benny Carter; Gene Krupa;
Jack Hylton; Maxine Gray; Ella Fitzgerald



The night is a velvet cover
My bed is a carpet of dew
And I'm meeting my phantom lover
In a dreamland rendezvous

Vagabond dreams steal into my heart
And speak to me of love once more
Then take me far on a drifting star
To some romantic shore

Find me the one, that wonderful one
Who`ll whisper, "I am yours forever"

Fill the night with music dipped in perfume
Like 'April in Paris' or maybe 'Love in Bloom'
For somehow I feel I'll find my ideal
Tonight in my vagabond dreams

Little Child


Little Child
Composer(s): Georgina Abela - Raymond Mahoney
First performance by: Mary Spiteri - 1992



Little child, your look - it pains me
It's an answer your eyes seek
Can't you see what shadow of a soul
I've come to be tired of the scene

Little child, come sit beside me
It's so much I have to say
Stay as free as high winds on the seas
No destiny bringin' lonely tears

Smile, live today, and leave the past behind
Live it up day by day, and surely you may find
That both sorrow and tomorrow
Aren't worth a thought or two
Look at me and teach me to live again

Little child, your look elates me
It's an answer your eyes give
Now, you see, I'm on the road again
I'm bringin' out what child there's in me

Smile, live today, and leave the past behind
Live it up day by day, and surely you may find
That both sorrow and tomorrow
Aren't worth a thought or two
Look at me and teach me to live again
Live again

Sing, live today, this moment can't endure
Oh... let us reach for the stars - we'll make it, I'm that sure
Be it sadness, be it gladness, we can start it all anew
Look at me, look at me, and the sun comes shining through

Vado Via


Vado Via
Composer(s): Luigi Albertelli; Enrico Riccardi
Performer(s): Dalida



Je sais que c'est dur de partir mais je m'en vais
Cette fois je te jure que c'est vrai
Je ne veux plus rester
Cent fois j'ai voulu te quitter
Et puis cent fois
Je n'ai pas eu la force de partir
J'avais trop peur de voir la vie sans toi
C'est fini

Vado via, vado via
Je n'en vais
Je dois m'en aller
Vivre
Je veux vivre
Etre libre
Et poursuivre
Tous mes rêves
Comme au temps où je croyais encor
A l'arc en ciel qui vient après la pluie, c'est fini

Vado via, vado via
je n'en vais
Je dois m'en aller

{Instrumental}

Donne
Donne moi le courage qui pardonne
Tout le mal que l'on a pu se faire
Et laisse moi vivre ma vie sans toi c'est fini

Vado via, vado via
Je n'en vais
Je dois m'en aller

Vado
Vado via
Adesso
Che posso
Ti lascio
Adesso
Che posso
Ti lascio
Ti lascio
Vado via

Somewhere Out There


Somewhere Out There
Composer(s): Barry Mann - Cynthia Weil - James Horner
Performer(s): Linda Ronstadt & James Ingram



Somewhere out there
Beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me
And loving me tonight

Somewhere out there
Someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another
In that big somewhere out there

And even though I know
How very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing
On the same bright star

And when the night wind
Starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping
Underneath the same big sky

Somewhere out there
If love can see us through
Then we'll be together
Somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true

And even though I know
How very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing
on the same bright star

And when the night wind
Starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping
Underneath the same big sky

Somewhere out there
If love can see us through
Then we'll be together
Somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true...

Vade Retro


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



Si tu chantes: "Mon cul sur la commode"
C'est gagné, t'as trouvé la méthode
Dans six mois tu seras à la mode
Pense pas trop, vade retro

J'ai vu la petite église
Tout près du doux caboulot
C'était au temps des cerises
Pense pas trop, vade retro

La rengaine, c'est la même depuis les Grecs et les Ostrogoths
Et on danse, on avance à reculons comme dans un tango
On tourne en rond, on revient au départ
On voit sortir la nouvelle vague du fond d'un vieux tiroir

Si ta petite amie met les robes
Qui allaient à Cléo de Mérode
C'est pas pour le plaisir, c'est la mode
Pense pas trop, vade retro

J'ai vu les rois du pétrole
Flamber à Monte-Carlo
Tiens-tiens, c'est les années folles
Pense pas trop, vade retro

La rengaine, c'est la même depuis les Grecs et les Ostrogoths
Et on danse, on avance à reculons comme dans un tango
On tourne en rond, on revient au départ
On voit sortir la nouvelle vague du fond d'un vieux tiroir

Chacun a sa belle époque
Pour lui, c'est le rococo
Pour toi, c'est le temps du rock
Pense pas trop, vade retro

Vad Man Viskar Till Sitt Svärmeri


Vad Man Viskar Till Sitt Svärmeri
Composer(s): Sven Goon
Performer(s): Ulla Billquist



Jag har alltid trott på vackra drömmar
Aldrig har jag mistat helt den tron
Fast jag vet att drömmar går som strömmar
har jag ännu kvar en illusion

Får jag viska just till dig de orden
som man viskar till sitt svärmeri
Skulle jag väl våga
att ge dig en fråga
Känner du för mig en liten smula sympati
Du för mig är vackrast här på jorden
när du ler med dina ögon blå
Till en sjunde himmel
ifrån världens vimmel
ska vi två
tillsammans gå

Du för mig är vackrast här på jorden
när du ler med dina ögon blå
Till en sjunde himmel
ifrån världens vimmel
ska vi två
tillsammans gå

Somewhere In The Night


Somewhere In The Night
Composer(s): Will Jennings - Richard Kerr
First release by: Batdorf & Rodney - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists



You found time enough to love
And I found love enough to hold you
So tonight I'll stir the fire you feel inside
Until the flames of love enfold you
Laying' beside you lost in the feeling
So glad you opened my door, come with me
Somewhere in the night we will know
Everything lovers can know
You're my song, music too magic to end
I'll play you over and over again
Loving so warm, moving' so right
Closing' our eyes and feeling alive
We'll just go on burning bright
Somewhere in the night

You'll sleep when the morning' comes
And I'll lie and watch you sleeping
And you'll smile when you dream about the night
Like it's a secret you've been keeping'
Laying' beside you lost in the feeling
So glad you opened my door
You're my song, music too magic to end
I'll play you over and over again
Loving so warm, moving' so right
Closing' our eyes and feeling alive
We'll just go on burning bright
Somewhere in the night

We'll just go on burning bright
Somewhere in the night!!

(We'll just go on burning bright)
(Somewhere in the night)
(We'll just go on burning bright)

Vacation (The Go-Go's)


Vacation
Composer(s): Charlotte Caffey; Duran Duran;
Kathy Valentine; Jane Wiedlin
Performer(s): The Go-Go's;
and various other artists



Can't seem to get my mind off of you
Back here at home there's nothin' to do
Now that I'm away
I wish I'd stayed
Tomorrow's a day of mine that you won't be in

When you looked at me I should've run
But I thought it was just for fun
I see I was wrong
And I'm not so strong
I should've known all along that time would tell

A week without you
Thought I'd forget
Two weeks without you and I
Still haven't gotten over you yet

Chorus:
Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone

A week without you
Thought I'd forget
Two weeks without you and I
Still haven't gotten over you yet

Chorus

Amor D'água Fresca


Amor D'água Fresca
Composer(s): Rosa Lobato Faria - Ondina Veloso
First performance by: Dina - 1992



Quando eu vi olhos de ameixa
E a boca de amora silvestre
Tanto mel, tanto sol
Nessa tua madeixa perfil, sumarenta e agreste

Foi a certeza que eras tu
O meu doce de uva
E noz sobre a mesa
O amor de morango e caju

Peguei, trinquei e meti-te na cesta
Ris e dás-me a volta à cabeça
Vem cá, tenho sede
Quero o teu amor d'água fresca

Peguei, trinquei e meti-te na cesta
Ris e dás-me a volta à cabeça
Vem cá, tenho sede
Quero o teu amor d'água fresca, oh...

Tens na pele travo a laranja
E no beijo três gomos de riso
Tanto mel, tanto sol, fruta, sumo, água fresca
Provei e perdi o juízo

Foi na manhã acesa em ti
Abacate, abrunho
E a pêra francesa, romã
Framboesa, kiwi

Peguei, trinquei e meti-te na cesta
Ris e dás-me a volta à cabeça
Vem cá, tenho sede
Quero o teu amor d'água fresca

Peguei, trinquei e meti-te na cesta
Ris e dás-me a volta à cabeça
Vem, vem, vem cá, tenho sede
Quero o teu amor d'água fresca

Ah... foi na manhã acesa em ti
Abacate, abrunho
E a pêra francesa, romã
Framboesa, kiwi

Peguei, trinquei e meti-te na cesta
Ris e dás-me a volta à cabeça
Vem cá, tenho sede
Quero o teu amor d'água fresca

Peguei, trinquei e meti-te na cesta
Ris e dás-me a volta à cabeça
Vem cá, tenho sede
Quero o teu amor d'água fresca

Peguei, trinquei e meti-te na cesta
