Wenn Du Mich Noch Magst
Wenn Du Mich Noch Magst
Performer(s): Caterina Valente
Ja du hast mir sehr weh getan
Doch ich klage dich niemals an
Wenn ein Mann eine and're liebt
ist niemand schuld daran
Dass ich mir viel zu sicher war
wurde mir erst viel später klar
Doch nun hab' ich gehört
dir soll's nicht gutgeh'n
und du bist allein
Wenn du mich noch magst
wenn du mich noch willst
wenn du mich noch liebst
dann komm doch wieder zurück zu mir
Versuch' noch einmal dein Glück mit mir
Wenn du mich noch magst
wenn du mich noch willst
wenn du mich noch liebst
dann mach doch einfach die Türe auf
ich warte nur darauf
Ich hab' lang drüber nachgedacht
warum jeder den Fehler macht
daá er Liebe für selbstverständlich hält
in seiner Welt
Erst im Dunkel der Einsamkeit
sehnt man sich nach Gemeinsamkeit
Alle Tage nur deine Hand zu halten
mehr wünsch' ich mir nicht
Wenn du mich noch magst
Denn immer noch klingen die Lieder
die Lieder von einst
Sie sagen mir
alles wird wieder
wird wieder wie einst
Wenn du mich noch magst
soll alles and're vergessen sein
ich bin und bleibe dein

Act nice, act nice and gentle to me
Well I'm the kind of guy who likes
To take you as I find you
So throw away those false eyelashes and
Act nice, act nice, baby
Come on baby, hold my hand
Come on baby, understand, you gotta
Act nice, act nice and gentle to me

Wenn Alle Ströme Versiegen
Wenn Alle Ströme Versiegen
Performer(s): The Hootenanny Singers
Wenn alle Ströme versiegen
Wenn Rosen blühen im Schnee
Wenn keine Vögel mehr fliegen
kein Fisch mehr schwimmt in der See
Wenn alle Sterne fallen
und nachts der Himmel leer
Erst dann, erst dann, mein Liebling
liebe ich dich nicht mehr
Wenn winters die Knospen zerspringen
im Frühling verdorrt jedes Laub
Wenn keine Kinder mehr singen
die Berge zerfallen zu Staub
Strömt Wasser durch die Wüste
und sind die Städte leer
erst dann, erst dann, mein Liebling
liebe ich dich nicht mehr
Erst dann, erst dann, mein Liebling
liebe ich dich nicht mehr

They're gonna put me in the movies
they're gonna make a big star out of me
We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
and all I got to do is act naturally
Well, I'll bet you I'm gonna be a big star
might win an Oscar you can never tell
the movies gonna make me a big star
'Cause I can play the part so well
Well I hope you come and see me in the movies
then I know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that ever hit the big time
and all I got to do is act naturally
We'll make the scene about a man that's sad and lonely
and begging down upon his bended knee
I'll play the part but I won't need rehearsal
all I got to do is act naturally
Well, I'll bet you I'm gonna be a big star
might win an Oscar you can never tell
the movies gonna make me a big star
'Cause I can plat the part so well
Well I hope you come and see me in the movies
then I know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that ever hit the big time
and all I got to do is act naturally

Composer(s): Brian Wilson
Performer(s): The Beach Boys
Wendy, Wendy what went wrong
Oh so wrong
We went together for so long
I never thought a guy could cry
'Til you made it with another guy
Oh Wendy, Wendy left me alone
Hurt so bad
Wendy, Wendy don't lose your head
Lose your head
Wendy don't believe a word he says
I can't picture you with him
His future looks awful dim
Oh Wendy, Wendy left me alone
Hurt so bad
Wendy I wouldn't hurt you like that
No no no
I thought we had our love down pat
Guess I was wrong
The farthest thing from my mind
Was the day that I'd wake up to find
My Wendy
Wendy left me alone
Wendy, Wendy left me alone
Hurts so bad
Wendy, Wendy left me alone
Hurts so bad
Wendy, Wendy left me alone
Hurts so bad
Wendy, Wendy...

Welterusten Mijnheer De President
Welterusten Mijnheer De President
Composer(s): Boudewijn de Groot; Lennaert Nijgh
Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot
Meneer de president, welterusten
Slaap maar lekker in je mooie witte huis
Denk maar niet teveel aan al die verre kusten
Waar uw jongens zitten eenzaam ver van huis
Denk vooral niet aan die 46 doden
Die vergissing laatst met dat bombardement
En vergeet het vierde van die 10 geboden
Die u als goed Christen zeker kent
Denk maar niet aan al die jonge frontsoldaten
Eenzaam stervend in de verre tropennacht
Laat die bleke pacifistenkliek maar praten
Meneer de president, slaap zacht
Droom maar van de overwinning, en de zege
Droom maar van uw mooie vredesideaal
Dat nog nooit door bloedig moorden is verkregen
Droom maar dat het u wel lukken zal ditmaal
Kijk maar niet naar al die mensen die verrekken
Hoeveel vrouwen, hoeveel kind'ren zijn vermoord
Droom maar dat u aan het langste eind zult trekken
En geloof van al die tegenstand geen woord
Bajonetten met bloedige gevesten
Houden ver van hier op uw bevel de wacht
Voor de glorie en de eer van 't vrije westen
Meneer de president, slaap zacht
Schrik maar niet te erg, wanneer u in uw dromen
Al die schuldeloze slachtoffers ziet staan
Die daarginds bij het gevecht zijn omgekomen
En uw vragen hoelang dit nog zo moet gaan
En u zult toch ook zo langzaamaan wel weten
Dat er mensen zijn die ziek zijn van 't geweld
Die het bloed en de ellende niet vergeten
En voor wie nog steeds een mensenleven telt
Droom maar niet teveel van al die dooie mensen
Droom maar fijn van overwinning en van macht
Denk maar niet aan al die vredeswensen
Meneer de president, slaap zacht!

Across This Town And Gone
Across This Town And Gone
Composer(s): Buck Owens - Gene Price
Performer(s): Buck Owens
It's time to leave so let me go
I've just been wasting time
I'll call you in a year or so
If I can spare a dime
We couldn't change the bad to good
The good Lord knows we tried
And a one way love just ain't no good
And I can't live a lie
So I'll just hit the road a cryin' low
I'll walk so fast you'll never know
I'm cryin' and dyin'
Before one teardrop hits the ground
I'll be halfway across this town and gone
Perhaps in time the hurt will heal
If I just walk away
I love you so I hate to go
But there's no other way
So I'll just hit the road
Before one teardrop hits the ground
I'll be halfway across this town and gone...

Jij En Ik (Miek & Roel)
Jij En Ik
Composer(s): Niki Bovendaerde - Roel Van Bambost
Performer(s): Miek & Roel
Jij en ik
Jij en ik
Wij hebben zoveel woorden
Maar allen die ons hoorden, voelden zich beroofd
Van hun geloof, hun ideaal
Hun levensdoel, hun zegepraal
Zij schudden met het hoofd
Zij zeggen 'wat een kwaaie tong'
Zij zeggen 'ze zijn veel te jong'
Zij zeggen 'dat beloofd'
Jij en ik
Jij en ik
Wij hebben zoveel liefde
Maar velen die het griefden, hoe liefdeloos we zijn
Voor moeders met hun wijde schoot
Voor God en voor de kerkdespoot
Voor mannen in de mijn
Voor kinderen in 't pensionaat
De blinde man en de soldaat
Voor vogels op het plein
Jij en ik
Jij en ik
Wij hebben zoveel pretjes
Met vetjes en met metjes van donker in het bed
Vertellen we die wel eens voort
Dan zegt men dat het echt niet hoort
Tenzij in 't cabaret
Dat wordt voor ons een goeie zaak
Je steekt met alles maar de draak
En krijgt nog een cachet
Jij en ik
Jij en ik
Wij hebben zoveel liedjes
En ieder voelt zich nietjes die zo niet zingen kan
Wij zingen van een fijne lach
Een klein verdriet, een mooie dag
Of van de zwarte man
Wij zingen voor de ganse straat
De buur die op de muren slaat
Daar zingen wij niet van
Jij en ik
Jij en ik
Wij hebben zoveel dromen
Maar als de mensen komen vervelen zij zich ziek
Wij lachen als het echt niet past
Wij bokken niet, dat is een last
Wij zijn antipathiek
Wij hebben ons in droom gehuld
Men zegt 'het is Roel z'n schuld'
Maar 't is de schuld van Miek
Wij hebben ons een droom gehuld
Men zegt 'het is Roel z'n schuld'
Maar 't is de schuld van Miek

Well, all right, well all right
We'll live and love with all our might
Well, all right, well all right
Our lifetime love will be all right

I took my loved one out to dinner
So we could get a bite to eat
And though we both had been much thinner
She looked so beautiful I could eat her

So we could watch the english sky
Were both feeling guilty
And neither one of us knew just why
Well Well Well

Across The Universe
Across The Universe
Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney
First release by: The Beatles - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
Words are flowing out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
are drifting through my open mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box
they tumble blindly as
they make their way across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter shades of earth
are ringing through my opened ears
inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which
shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe

We'll Sing In The Sunshine
We'll Sing In The Sunshine
Composer(s): Gale Garnett
Performer(s): Trini Lopez
We'll sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh every day
We'll sing in the sunshine
Then I'll be on my way
I will never love you
The cost of love's too dear
But though I'll never love you
I'll stay with you one year
And we can sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh every day
We'll sing in the sunshine
Then I'll be on my way
I'll sing to you each morning
I'll kiss you every night
But darling, don't cling to me
I'll soon be out of sight
But we can sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh every day
We'll sing in the sunshine
Then I'll be on my way
My daddy he once told me
'Hey, don't you love you any man'
'Just take what they may give you'
'And give but what you can'
'And you can sing in the sunshine'
'You'll laugh every day'
'You'll sing in the sunshine'
'Then be on your way'
And when our year has ended
And I have gone away
You'll often speak about me
And this is what you'll say
'We sang in the sunshine
'You know, we laughed every day'
'We sang in the sunshine'
'Then she went away'

Across The Sea
Across The Sea
Composer(s): Ernest Kaai - Ray Kinney - John Noble
Performer(s): Ray Kinney
and multiple other artists
Listen to the song the birds are singing
Of the southern isles across the sea
Island gems within a coral setting
Islands of the sunny southern sea
Bright the sky above with golden sunshine
Flooding all the lands with warmth and light
See the palm trees swaying to the ocean
Whispering songs of love by day and night
Hui:
Across the sea and isle is calling me
Calling to the wanderer to retrun
Bidding me come back to fair Hawai`i
To these sunny isles across the sea
See the surf comes rolling ever onwards
Meets the land and melts in creamy foam
Breaks upon the shore and scatters quickly
Like a million pearls let loose to roam
Watch the spray which melts in liquid sunshine
Tossed up from the bosom of the deep
High above in varied colors forming
Like the mermaids rising from their sleep

We'll Rant And We'll Roar (Like True Newfoundlanders)
We'll Rant And We'll Roar
(Like True Newfoundlanders)
(aka "Spanish Ladies" or "Farewell And Adieu")
Composer(s): Le Mesurrier
My name it is Robert, they call me Bob Pittman
I sail in the Ino with skipper Tom Brown
I'm bound to have Dolly or Biddy or Molly
As soon as I'm able to plank the cash down
Chorus:
We’ll rant and we’ll roar like true Newfoundlanders
We’ll rant and we’ll roar on deck and below
Until we see bottom inside of two sunkers
Then straight through the channel to Toslow we’ll go
I’m the son of a seacook and a cook in a trader
I can dance, I can sing, I can reef the main boom
I can handle a jigger and I cuts a fine figure
Whenever I gets in a boat’s standing room
If the voyage is good then this fall I will do it
I want two pound ten for a ring and a priest
A couple of dollars for clean shirts and collars
And a handful of coppers to make up a feast
I went to a dance one night in Fox Harbour
There were plenty of girls as nice as you’d wish
There was one pretty maiden a-chawing on frankgum
Just like a young kitten a-knawing fresh fish
There’s plump little Polly, her name is Goldsworthy
There’s John Coady’s Kitty and Mary Tibbo
There’s Clara from Brule and young Martha Foley
But the nicest of all is my girl from Toslow
Farewell and adieu to ye fair ones of Valen
Farewell and adieu to ye ones in the cove
Now let ye be jolly, don't be melancholy
For I can’t marry all or in the chokey I’d be
Farewell and adieu to you girls of Fox Harbour
Oderin and Presque, Crabbes Hole and Brule
I’m bound to the westward to the wall with the hole in
For I can’t marry all or in the chokey I’d be
Farewell and adieu to ye girls of St. Kyran's
Of Paradise and Presque, big and little Bona
I'm bound unto Toslow to marry sweet Biddy
And if I don't do so, I'm afraid of her da
I've bought me a house from Katherine Davis
A twenty-pound bed from Jimmy McGraw
I'll get me a settle, a pot and a kettle
And then I'll be ready for Biddy - hurrah!

Across The Great Divide
Across The Great Divide
Composer(s): J.R. Robertson
Performer(s): The Band
Standin' by your window in pain
A pistol in your hand
And I beg you, dear Molly, girl
Try and understand your man the best you can
Across The Great Divide
Just grab your hat, and take that ride
Get yourself a bride
And bring your children down to the river side
I had a goal in my younger days
I nearly wrote my will
But I changed my mind for the better
I'm at the still, had my fill and I'm fit to kill
Pinball machine, and a queen
I nearly took a bust
Tried to keep my hands to myself
Ya say it's a must, but who can ya trust?
Harvest moon shinin' down from the sky
A weary sign for all
I'm gonna leave this one horse town
Had t' stall till the fall, now I'm gonna crawl!
Now Molly dear, don't ya shed a tear
Your time will surely come
you'll feed your man chicken ev'ry Sunday
Now tell me, hon, what-cha done with the gun
Across The Great Divide
Just grab your hat, and take that ride
Get yourself a bride
And bring your children down to the river side

Farewell And Adieu
Farewell And Adieu
(aka "Spanish Ladies"
or "We'll Rant And We'll Roar (Like True Newfoundlanders)")
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Lesley Nelson-Burns
Farewell and adieu to you fine Spanish ladies
Farewell and adieu all you ladies of Spain
For we've received orders to sail for old England
And perhaps we shall never more see you again
Chorus:
We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors
We'll range and we'll roam over all the salt seas
Until we strike soundings in the Channel of old England
From Ushant to Scilly 'tis thirty-five leagues
Then we hove our ship to, with the wind at sou'-west, my boys
Then we hove our ship to, for to strike soundings clear
Then we filled the main topsail and bore right away, my boys
And straight up the Channel of old England did steer
Chorus
So the first land we made it is called the Deadman
Next Ram Head off Plymouth, Start, Portland and the Wight
We sailed hy Beachy, by Fairly and Dungeness
And then bore away for the South Foreland light
Chorus
Now the signal it was made for the Grand Fleet to anchor
All on the Downs that night for to meet
Then stand by your stoppers, see clear your shank-painters
Haul all your clew garnets, stick out tacks and sheets
Chorus
Now let every man drink up his full bottle
Let every man drink up his full bowl
For we will be jolly and drown melancholy
With a health to each jovial and true-hearted soul
Chorus
