Zwarte Lola
Zwarte Lola
Composer(s): Johnny Hoes
Performer(s): Annie Heuts
Ja ik ben Lola Zwarte Lola
Ik ben Lola uit de stripteasebar
Rode lippen, zwarte nylons
En een massa krullend haar
Willen de heren zich amuseren
Dan sta ik altijd voor ze klaar
Want ik ben Lola, zwarte Lola
Ik ben Lola uit de stripteasebar
Heeft u complexen
Wilt u relaxen
Kom dan bij Lola in de bar
Komt u met velen
't kan mij niet schelen
Dat is voor Lola geen bezwaar
Want in mijn hart zijn heel wat plaatsjes vrij
Dus zoekt u troost
Kom dan gerust bij mij
Want ik ben Lola Zwarte Lola
Ik ben Lola uit de stripteasebar
Rode lippen, zwarte nylons
En een massa krullend haar
Willen de heren zich amuseren
Dan sta ik altijd voor ze klaar
Want ik ben Lola, zwarte Lola
Ik ben Lola uit de stripteasebar
Willen de heren zich amuseren
Dan sta ik altijd voor ze klaar
Want ik ben Lola, zwarte Lola
Ik ben Lola uit de stripteasebar
Ik ben Lola uit de stripteasebar

Almost Blue
Almost Blue
Composer(s): Elvis Costello
First release by: Elvis Costello & The Attractions - 1982
Covered by multiple other artists
Almost blue
Almost doing things we used to do
There's a girl here and she's almost you
Almost all the things that your eyes once promised
I see in hers too
Now your eyes are red from crying
Almost blue
Flirting with this disaster became me
It named me as the fool who only aimed to be
Almost blue
It's almost touching it will almost do
There's a part of me that's always true...always
Not all good things come to an end now it is only a chosen few
I've seen such an unhappy couple
Almost me
Almost you
Almost blue

Wish Me Well
Wish Me Well
Composer(s): Gary Brooker; Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum; Elderberry Jak
You know I caught a glimpse, thought I understood
But I left it all far behind
Now if I'd known then what I know now
Do you think I would've been so blind?
Gonna take myself down to a wishing well
I'm gonna make myself one last wish
And if you follow me there, better bring what you've found
'Cause my night has come and I'm going down
Gonna buy myself a big rockin' chair
And when I'm sittin' in that, then no one will peek
And if my friends will come, they'll see what I'm suffering from
I wish, I wish, I could rock myself to sleep
Gonna take myself down to a wishing well
Gonna make myself one last wish
If you follow me there, better bring what you've found
'Cause my night has come and I'm going down

Almost Always True
Almost Always True
((Adapted from: Alouette (by Edouard Lebel) - 1906))
Composer(s): Fred Wise - Ben Weisman
Performer(s): Elvis Presley - 1961
I was always, baby, I was always
Well almost always true to you
Met a pretty mademoiselle
Her papa owned a small hotel
Oh, I was almost always true to you
I resisted, tho' my arm was twisted
I was almost always true to you
Stayed away from drinkin' wine
Thought about you all the time
Oh, I was almost always true to you
Kept refusin', don't jump to conclusions
I was almost always true to you
I would never grab like this
I would never steal a kiss
Oh, I was almost always true to you
I was almost always true to you

A smile

For a while
In my heart
while I'm away
Till we meet
Once again
You and I
Wish me luck
As you wave
Me goodbye

Meisjes Met Rode Haren
Meisjes Met Rode Haren
Performer(s): Arne Jansen
Ja, ja, ja, meisjes met rode haren
die kunnen kussen, dat is niet mis
Meisjes met rode haren, kunnen je zeggen wat liefde is
Ja, ja, ja, meisjes met rode haren, kunnen je zeggen, als je ze kent
Of je de grote liefde, de grote liefde voor altijd bent
Toen ik daar lag op mijn balkon
Zag ik haar liggen in de zon
Ze was heel mooi, ja dat is waar
Maar het mooiste was haar rode haar
Die mooie tijd ging snel voorbij
Het lag aan haar en niet aan mij
Ze was heel mooi, ja dat is waar
Maar 't mooiste was haar rode haar

Almost
Almost
Composer(s): Paul Humphreys - Andy McCluskey
First release by: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - 1979
I'd travel oh so far
To be where you are
I'd travel there by car
To be where you are
But if I get there I'd find
That I'd change my mind
It happens all the time
To a friend of mine
Always making statements
And moving step by step
Always acting theories
I will regret
My only consolation
In the things that I've done
Are the people who know me
And the objects I own
Happens all the time
To a friend of mine
Happens all the time
To a friend of mine
Happens all the time
To a friend of mine
Happens all the time
To a friend of mine
Happens all the time

Wish Me A Rainbow
Wish Me A Rainbow
Composer(s): Ray Evans; Jay Livingston
Performer(s): Astrud Gilberto;
Hugh X. Lewis; Jay Livingston; Patti Page
Wish me a rainbow and wish me the stars
All this you can give me
Wherever you are
And dreams for my pillow
And stars for my eyes
And a masquerade ball
Where our love wins first prize
Wish me red roses and yellow balloons
And caress us whirling
To gay dancing tunes
I want all these treasures
The most you can give
So wish me a rainbow
As long as I live
All my tomorrows
Depend on your love
So wish me a rainbow above
All my tomorrows
Depend on your love
So wish me a rainbow above

Almaz
Almaz
Composer(s): Randy Crawford
First release by: Randy Crawford - 1986
Covered by multiple other artists
She only smiles
He only tell her that she's the flower of wind and spring
In all her splendor sweetly surrendering the love
that innocence brings
Almaz, pure and simple
Born in a world where love survives
Now men will want her
'Cause life don't haunt her
Almaz, you lucky lucky thing
Now I watch closely and I watch wholly
I can't imagine love so rare
She's young and tender
But will I bend her?
I look around if she everything
Almaz, pure and simple
Born in a world where love survives
Now men will want her
'Cause life don't haunt her
Almaz, you lucky lucky thing
He throws her kisses
She shares his wishes
I'm sure he's king without a doubt with love so captive
so surely captive
I ask if I could play the part
Almaz, pure and simple
Born in a world where love survives
Now men will want her
'Cause life don't haunt her
Almaz, you lucky lucky thing

Wish I May, Wish I Might
Wish I May, Wish I Might
Composer(s): Hugh Martin; Ralph Blane
Performer(s): Mel Tormé;
and various other artists
Needles, pins, triplets, twins
When a man marries, his troubles begin
When a man dies, his troubles end
Let's touch thumbs and see who wins
Wish I may, wish I might
Get the wishes I'm wishing tonight
A young cadet, blonde or brunette
A Romeo in search of Juliet
Wish I might, wish I may
Get the wishes I'm wishin' today
A lot of poise, a lot of noise
And an awful lot of boys
I want a date, who'll stay out late
A brother rat who'd leave me flat won't rate
Want some orchids from New York
A wrap of taffeta will be round me
Scads of lads will hound me
And they will cheer
For the belle of the ball of the year
So hold me close and hug me tight
For that's the wish I wish I may I might
Wish I had an old jalop job
Just a little olden top job
Wish I had myself a C card
That would suit me to a T pard
I could take my date a-drivin'
And I would get the wish I wish I tonight
Wish he'd send a dozen roses
Wish I had the proper clotheses
Wish I had a slinky hairdo
Wish my evening dress was Bardeaux
I would knock their little eyes out
If I could get the wish I wish tonight
Wish we didn't have a chaperone
Wish we had a chance to be all alone
We could slip away and tell jokes and drink Cokes
But this we're afraid the prom would never condone
And so we wish we may, we wish me might
Just to see the latest dancing craze
Makes me wish for my romancing days
Seeing babies in the wild woods now
Makes me wish for second childhood now
Needles, pins, triplets, twins
Ah, ah, ah
Give a yell, give a cheer
For the belle of the ball of the year
So hold me close and hug me tight
For that's the wish I wish I may, I might

The Lady Is A Woman
The Lady Is A Woman
Composer(s): Dick Feller
Performer(s): Jerry Reed
She's elegant she's gracious a lady of the finest social set
And you're the rich man that can buy her all the world
And what she wants she gets
You give her charge to count some cheque books
Thinking that's the way to keep her satisfied
But what she needs the most is what no charge or count of cheque book ever buy
The lady is a woman even you should understand
While the lady may need soft things the woman needs a man
Yes the lady is a woman that you can be certain of
While your lady wants for nothing still your woman wants for love
[ guitar ] Well all I do is drive your limousine and chauffer you the way you'd like to go
But when I look at your lady even I can see there's something you don't know
You give her everything she wanted but not one of the things she really needs
Yes you still may have your lady but lately now your woman comes to me
Your lady is a woman even you should understand
While your lady may need soft things still your woman needs a man
Your lady is a woman that you can be certain of
While your lady wants for nothing still your woman wants for love

Zoals je daar nu zit
Met betraande ogen
Wat is er mis
Wat kan ik voor je doen
Vertel me alles
Wat gebeurd is
Misschien dat ik iets weet
Linda, Linda
Ik wil alles voor je
Linda, Linda
Ik wil alles voor je doen
Linda, ik wil alles voor je doen
Gaan we naar Parijs
De Moulin Rouge
Of naar New York
Broadway-lights
We slapen
1001 nacht
In 1001 hotel
Hmmm
Linda, Linda
Ik wil alles voor je
Linda, Linda, Linda
Ik wil alles voor je doen
Linda, ik wil alles voor je
Linda, Linda, Linda
Ik wil alles voor je
Linda, Linda
Ik wil alles voor je doen

Ik wil alles voor je doen

Almanaque
Almanaque
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
Ô menina vai ver nesse almanaque como é que isso tudo começou
Diz quem é que marcava o tique-taque e a ampulheta do tempo disparou
Se mamava de sabe lá que teta o primeiro bezerro que berrou
Me responde, por favor
Pra onde vai o meu amor
Quando o amor acaba
Quem penava no sol a vida inteira, como é que a moleira não rachou
Me diz, me diz
Quem tapava esse sol com a peneira e quem foi que a peneira esfuracou
Quem pintou a bandeira brasileira que tinha tanto lápis de cor
Me responde por favor
Pra onde vai o meu amor
Quando o amor acaba
Diz quem foi que fez o primeiro teto que o projeto não desmoronou
Quem foi esse pedreiro, esse arquiteto, e o valente primeiro morador
Diz quem foi que inventou o analfabeto e ensinou o alfabeto ao professor
Me responde por favor
Pra onde vai o meu amor
Quando o amor acaba
Quem é que sabe o signo do capeta, o ascendente de Deus Nosso Senhor
Quem não fez a patente da espoleta explodir na gaveta do inventor
Quem tava no volante do planeta que o meu continente capotou
Me responde por favor
Pra onde vai o meu amor
Quando o amor acaba
Vê se tem no almanaque, essa menina, como é que termina um grande amor
Se adianta tomar uma aspirina ou se bate na quina aquela dor
Se é chover o ano inteiro chuva fina ou se é como cair o elevador
Me responde por favor
Pra que tudo começou
Quando tudo acaba

(Wish I Could) Hideaway
Composer(s): John C. Fogerty
Performer(s): Creedence Clearwater Revival
Howdy, friend, begging your pardon
Is there something on your mind?
You've gone and sold all your belongings
Is that something in your eye?
Well, I know you really never
Liked the way it all goes down
Go on, Hideaway
What's that you say?
We're all bound for the graveyard
Ooh, I wish you well
Think it's gonna rain
Oh, what's the difference
Is there some way I can help?
'Cause you know, I'm gonna miss you
When you're gone, oh, Lord
Wish I Could Hideaway
Hold on, give yourself a chance
I can hear the leaving train
All aboard! Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!
Ooh, I wish you well
See you soon, maybe tomorrow
You can never tell
"Cause you know, I'm gonna miss you
When you're gone, oh
Wish I could Hideaway
Hideaway, hideaway, hideaway, hideaway
Hideaway, hideaway
Hideaway, hideaway

Performer(s): Raphael
and multiple other artists
Recuerdo aquella vez que yo te conocí
Recuerdo aquella tarde
Pero no me acuerdo ni como te vi
Pero si te diré que yo me enamoré
De esos tus lindos ojos
De tus labios rojos que no olvidaré
Oye esta canción que lleva
Alma, corazón y vida
Esas tres cositas nada más te doy
Porque no tengo fortuna
Estas tres cosas te ofrezco
Alma, corazón y vida
y nada más
Alma para conquistarte
Corazón para quererte
Y vida para vivirla junto a ti

Slaapwals
Slaapwals
Performer(s): Bart Peeters
Ik zal Irak nooit binnenvallen
Ik ben betrouwbaar tot en met
Ik stamp nooit in iemand zijn ballen
Ik surf nooit naar seks op het internet
Ik wil niemand in de weg staan
Ik ben nooit fake of nep
Omdat mijn stoppen enkel doorslaan
Als ik slecht geslapen heb
Ik ga nooit in Holland wonen
Ik roep nooit: Vlaanderen vrij
Of tegen ultra-francofonen
Jullie doen net zo flauw als wij
Je zal me zellen drugs zien dealen
Ik geef nooit een vrouw een mep
Ik krijg alleen maar dat debiele
Als ik slecht geslapen heb
Ik zou nooit om te plagen
Aan iemand zonder benen vragen
Welke snelheid hij nog haalt met zijn step
Ik stop nooit om te pesten
Zowat condooms in vreemde vesten
Tenzij ik slecht geslapen heb
Ik wil een misverstand vermijden
Dus zeg ik eerlijk en oprecht
En in alle bescheidenheid
Slapen kan ik echt ... heel slecht

Alma Mía En La Noche
Alma Mía En La Noche
Composer(s): Horacio Guarany
Performer(s): Horacio Guarany
Alma
alma mía en la noche
Vuela
como un pájaro azul
Sueña
con la paz de los hombres
con la risa de un niño
con tu amor y mi amor
Alma
corazón en las nubes
Busca
tu ternura y tu luz
dulce
mi guitarra te canta
canción que en mi garganta
se hace llanto por vos
Adonde irás
poema gris
cuando no esté
cerca de ti?
adónde iré
cuando no estés?
La vida no es verdad
sin ti...
Alma
tanto amor en las manos
quema
como un infierno cruel
busca
como un pájaro ciego
esa paz y el sosiego que le da tu querer
Deja
que murmure la gente
Ama
como nunca has de amar
piensa
que tu llanto es mi llanto
y cuando haya una pena
junto a ti he de llorar
