À Ma Fille
À Ma Fille
((English & Italian Versions; To My Daughter; A Mia Figlia (by Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
First release by: Charles Aznavour - 1964
Je sais qu'un jour viendra car la vie le commande
Ce jour que j'appréhende où tu nous quitteras
Je sais qu'un jour viendra où triste et solitaire
En soutenant ta mère et en traînant mes pas
Je rentrerai chez nous dans un "chez nous" désert
Je rentrerai chez nous où tu ne seras pas
Toi tu ne verras rien des choses de mon cœur
Tes yeux seront crevés de joie et de bonheur
Et j'aurai un rictus que tu ne connais pas
Qui semble être un sourire ému mais ne l'est pas
En taisant ma douleur à ton bras fièrement
Je guiderai tes pas quoique j'en pense ou dise
Dans le recueillement d'une paisible église
Pour aller te donner à l'homme de ton choix
Qui te dévêtira du nom qui est le nôtre
Pour t'en donner un autre que je ne connais pas
Je sais qu'un jour viendra tu atteindras cet âge
Où l'on force les cages ayant trouvé sa voie
Je sais qu'un jour viendra, l'âge t'aura fleurie
Et l'aube de ta vie ailleurs se lèvera
Et seul avec ta mère le jour comme la nuit
L'été comme l'hiver nous aurons un peu froid
Et lui qui ne sait rien du mal qu'on s'est donné
Lui qui n'aura rien fait pour mûrir tes années
Lui qui viendra voler ce dont j'ai le plus peur
Notre part de passé, notre part de bonheur
Cet étranger sans nom, sans visage
Oh! combien je le hais
Et pourtant s'il doit te rendre heureuse
Je n'aurai envers lui nulle pensée haineuse
Mais je lui offrirai mon cœur avec ta main
Je ferai tout cela en sachant que tu l'aimes
Simplement car Je T'aime
Le jour, où il viendra

How About That (Adam Faith)
How About That
Composer(s): Les Vandyke
Performer(s): Adam Faith
You've got a face like an angel's face
H-h-how about that
You've got a look like an angel's look
H-h-how about that
Angel's face, angel's look
Heaven didn't overlook
My girl..
H-h-how about that
Love wasn't home 'til you came to me
H-h-how about that
I'll come to call on my bended knee
H-h-how about that
Bless you lucky stars above
Take a bow for thinking of
My girl..
H-h-how about that
They say that wonders can happen
And you won't know sure
But since you've happened
I've wondered if love ever happened before
So beat out the drum
Let the trumpets play
H-h-how about that
My angel has come
Let the people say
H-h-how about that
Let this world of marvels see
Only you could ever be
My girl
H-h-how about that
How about that
How about tha-ha-hat

Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Il giorno arriverà che temo, ma che attendo
In cui, già fatta grande, tu ci lascerai
Il giorno arriverà che con un passo stanco
E con tua madre a fianco a casa rientrerò
E casa sembrerà un posto solitario
Quando vi arriverò e tu non ci sarai
Tu non sospetterai quello che proverò
Negli occhi non avrai che la felicità
Avrò una smorfia che tu non comprenderai
Ti sembrerà un sorriso e non lo sarà
In silenzio ti avrò al braccio fieramente
E ti accompagnerò pensando a chissà cosa
Nella tranquillità raccolta di una chiesa
Per darti all'uomo che avrai scelto per te
E che dividerà dal tuo il nostro nome
Per darti un altro nome che io non so qual'è
Il giorno arriverà in cui, che potrò dire?
Io ti vedrò seguire la via che sceglierai
Il giorno arriverà col tempo, piano piano
Dell'alba in cui lontano di qui ti sveglierai
Tua madre, come me, vivrà giornate in cui
Da un certo freddo il fuoco non la difenderà
E lui che nulla sa delle nostre ansietà
E che ti coglierà così come sarai
Verrà a portarci via quel che temo di più
Il passato e la gioia conosciuti con te
Quell'estraneo di cui non so niente
Però odio già, ma poiché potrà farti felice
Non accoglierò mai con aria inquisitrice
Ma a lui con la tua mano il mio cuore offrirò
E questo lo farò perché ti voglio bene
E tu gli vorrai bene il giorno in cui verrà

How About A Cheer For The Navy?
How About A Cheer For The Navy?
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
The Army this, the Army that
Is all we heard from where we sat
Now how about a cheer for the Navy?
The Army's great, the Army's tough
But don't you think we've heard enough?
So how about a cheer for the Navy?
We know that Mister Stimson
Is solid as the rocks
But how about an orchid
For Secretary Knox?
The Army may be in the groove
But Walter Winchell won't approve
Unless you give a cheer for the Navy
Hip hip hooray
We haven't got long to stay
So how about one bouquet
For the Navy?
One word of praise, let it flow from your lips
One cheer and then we'll go back to our ships
Hip hip hooray
The Army has had its say
You're letting them get away
With the gravy
Just let them know
That an Army show
Could never be a hit without the Navy
The Army's what you may prefer
But in the social register
Is where you'll have to look for the Navy
If you would like to touch the gilt
Of Astor or of Vanderbilt
You'll have to come around to the Navy
The show was in the alley
It simply wouldn't do
Until the big finale
With Navy white and blue
The Army sails across the foam
The Navy always bring them home
So how about a cheer for the Navy?
Give a cheer, give a cheer, give a cheer, give a cheer
For the Navy
Just make it clear
That a rousing cheer
Is very much in order for the N-a-v-y
The Navy

To My Daughter
To My Daughter
((French & Italian Versions: À Ma Fille - 1964; A Mia Figlia (by Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
I know the time will come
When you'll be taken from me
I've watched you growing up
Waited,waited,passing day
I know the time will come
For life will soon demand it
When you will find someone
Who will take you far away
And you will never see
The sadness in my smile
Your eyes will overflow
With happiness and tears
No you will never see the shadow
In my heart as I watch forward
The spring of all my years
And I'll conceal the pain
Beneath a father's pride
While in the silent church
Together side by side
Each measured step
Would bring me close to the time
You'll say the simple words
And I'll be left in sorrow
For what is mine today
Will never see tomorrow
I'll have to step aside
For someone I don't know
When all is said and done
He'll lead and you will follow
While through the stained glass window
I'll watch my daughter go
I know the time will come
You'll blossom ever gently
One day from innocence to
Woman wordly wise
I know the time will come
One unexpected moment
the dawn of life anew
Will awaken in your eyes
For he will come along
With all his boyish charms
He'll take your heart away
And leave me empty arms
And I will rue this day
This day he comes to you
With promises of love
To make your dreams come true
And though he takes our name
And gives you his instead
He'll never know the times
I stood beside your bed
Already I despise this stranger
With no face
But if he'll bring you joy
My heart to him I'll render
I'll give to him your hand
Our name I will surrender
Yes,I will do all this
Because I love you so
And as I see you now
Sweet child so softly sleeping
Your youth a moment's keeping
The time has come I know

Composer(s): Kate Pierson; Tim Rollins
Performer(s): The B-52's
I am don' my housework
Got no time to fool 'round
I am doin' my housework
Cleanin' up and I'm gettin' down
It'll be so clean
You can eat off the floor
You can eat off the wall
Or anywhere at all
'Cause I'll make this place
A party pad for two
And I'm not stoppin' till I do
I'm so tired of this vacuum
Need a man to help soon
Don't need a man to make a move on me
I need a man to move in with me
Don't need a man to treat me mean
I need a man to help me clean
Someone who's heaven sent
Someone to help pay rent
Someone to share dreams and wishes
Someone to help me do the dishes

Houses Of The Holy
Houses Of The Holy
Composer(s): Jimmy Page; Robert Plant
Performer(s): Led Zeppelin;
Interface; Joe Lester; Pat Travers
Let me take you to the movies, can I take you to the show?
Let me be yours ever truly, can I make your garden grow?
From the houses of the holy, we can watch the white doves go
From the door comes Satan's daughter, and it only goes to show, you know
There's an angel on my shoulder, in my hand a sword of gold
Let me wander in your garden and the seeds of love I'll sow, you know
So the world is spinning faster, are you dizzy when you're stoned?
Let the music be your master, will you heed the master's call?
Oh, Satan and man
Said there ain't no use in crying, 'cause it will only, only drive you mad
Does it hurt to hear them lying?
Was this the only world you had?
Oh-oh
So let me take you, take you to the movie, can I take you, baby, to the show?
Why don't you let me be yours ever truly, can I make your garden grow?
You know

((French Version: À Ma Femme (by Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Calabrese
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Quando l'aratro dell'eta', i nostri visi segnera'
Con i lunghi solchi che vi avra' scavato
I nostri figli grandi ormai, saranno andati via di qui
Per aumentare in fondo a noi il vuoto
Quand'ogni gesto nascera', piu' lento nell'intimita'
Per tutto il tempo che sara' passato
Parlarsi allora non sara',pensare a quello che verra'
Ma ricordare tutto cio' che e' stato...
A passi lenti tu verrai, con me per viali di azzalee
Senz'avvenire e con le idee piu' chiare
Non sara' facile pero' malgrado quello che diro'
Negare il tempo che non puo' tornare
Quando la nostra vita in due
Progetti nuovi non avra'
Avremo un libro da poter aprire
Memorie scritte insieme a te
Senza concluderle perche'
Solo il finale manchera' ancora...
Quando il mio tempo sfiorera'
La soglia dell'eternita'
E qualche cosa mi dira' ci siamo
Quando guardandoti vedro'
Che senza il nostro amore no
Non avrai piu' quei giorni tuoi di prima
Quando piu' calmo sembrero'
E la tua mano cerchero'
Perche' il mio polso battera' piu' piano
Dopo aver accettato dio
Prima di andarmene lo so'
Un'altra volta se potro'
Io ti diro' come un addio
Ti amo...

Houses In Motion
Houses In Motion
Composer(s): David Byrne; Brian Eno;
Chris Frantz; Jerry Harrison; Tina Weymouth
Performer(s): Talking Heads;
Phish; Helen White
For a long time I felt without style or grace
Wearing shoes with no socks in cold weather
I knew my heart was in the right place
I knew I’d be able to do these things
And as we watch him digging his own grave
It is important to know that was where he’s at
He can’t afford to stop...that is what he believes
He’ll keep on digging for a thousand years
I’m walking a line - I’m thining about empty motion
I’m walking a line - just barely enough to be living
Get outa the way - no time to begin
This isn’t the time - so nothing was done
Not talking about - not many at all
I’m turning around - no trouble at all
You notice there’s nothing around you, around you
I’m walking a line - divide and dissolve
Never get to say much, never get to talk
Tell us a little bit, but not too much
Right about then, is where she gives up
She has closed her eyes, she has given up hope
I’m walking a line - I hate to be dreaming in motion
I’m walking a line - just barely enough to be living
Get outa the way - no time to begin
This isn’t the time - so nothing was done
Not talking about - not many at all
I’m turning around - no trouble at all
I’m keeping my fingers behind me, ’hind me
I’m walking a line - divide and dissolve
I turn myself around, I’m moving backwards and forwards
I’m moving twice as much as I was before
I’ll keep on digging to the center of the earth
I’ll be down in there moving the in the room...
I’m walking a line - visiting houses in motion
I’m walking a line - just barely enough to be living
Get outa the way - no time to begin
This isn’t the time - so nothing was done
Not talking about - not many at all
I’m turning around - no trouble at all
Two different houses surround you, ’round you
I’m walking a line - divide and dissolve

Performer(s): Dalida
Je t'ai cherché depuis longtemps, tu sais
Je t'ai rêvé depuis longtemps, c'est vrai
Dans mon cœur chaque matin, perdu
M'était en moi comme un chagrin, de plus
Et j'ai pleuré plus qu'à mon tour, parfois
Le temps est lent quand on est sans joie
J'ai passé toute ma vie désemparée
Mais je me suis toujours dit que tu viendrais
Car à ma chance j'ai fait confiance
On ne peut pas toujours souffrir
D'être sans souvenir
J'ai passé toute ma vie désemparée
Mais je me suis toujours dit que tu viendrais
Je t'ai cherché depuis longtemps, tu sais
Je t'ai rêvé depuis longtemps, c'est vrai
Dans mon cœur chaque matin, perdu
M'était en moi comme un chagrin, de plus
Et j'ai pleuré plus qu'à mon tour, parfois
Le temps est lent quand on est sans joie
Tu vois que j'avais raison de t'espérer
Et qu'à l'unisson on s'aimerait
Car à ma chance j'ai fait confiance
On ne peut pas toujours souffrir
D'être sans souvenir
J'ai passé toute ma vie désemparée
Mais je me suis toujours dit que tu viendrais
Car à ma chance j'ai fait confiance
Car à ma chance j'ai fait confiance

House On Haunted Hill
House On Haunted Hill
Composer(s): Richard Loring; Richard Kayne
There's a house on Haunted Hill
Where everything's lonely and still (Lonely and still)
And the ghost of a sigh
When we whispered "Goodbye"
Lingers on
And each night gives a heart broken cry
There's a house on Haunted Hill
Where love walked
There's a strange silent chill (Strange silent chill)
There are memories that yearn
For our hearts to return
And a promise we failed to fulfil
But we'll never go back
No, we'll never go back
To the house on Haunted Hill

Does she love me, with all her heart

I'd like to know when she's not with me
if she's still true to me
I'd like to know when we're kissing
does she feel just what I feel
and how am I to know it's really real
Oh, tell me where, the answer lies
is it in her kiss or in her eyes
it's a lover's question I'd like to know
I'd like to know when she's not with me
if she's still true to me
I'd like to know when we're kissing

Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
You made our home a House Of Sorrow
I hoped and prayed your heart would change
But as I gazed into tomorrow
I realized I prayed in vane
So now I’ll go from you forever
For now at last God set me free
Because he showed me you would never
Blame yourself instead of me
Ah Buddy Charlton now
You’ve made our home a House Of Sorrow
Where happiness could have come in
If you had only tried to know me
But all you saw in me was sin
So now I’ll go from you forever
For now at last God set me free
Because he showed me you would never
Blame yourself instead of me

How gentle is the rain
That falls softly on the meadow
Birds high above in the trees
Serenade the flowers with their melodies oh oh oh
See there beyond the hill
The bright color of the rainbow
Some magic from above
Made this day for us
Just to fall in love
Now I belong to you
From this day until forever
Just love me tenderly
And I'll give to you every part of me oh oh oh
Don't ever make me cry
Through long lonely nights without love
Be always true to me
Kept it stay in your heart eternally
Someday we shall return to this place upon
The meadow
We'll walk out in the rain
Hear the bird's above sing once again oh oh oh
You'll hold me in your arms
And say once again, you love me
And if your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful
You'll hold me in your arms
And say once again, you love me
And if your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful
