Dans La Maison Vide
Dans La Maison Vide
Composer(s): G. Autève; J.L. Dabadie; P. de Senneville
Originally performed by: Michel Polnareff
Covered by: Florence Davis; Nilda Fernández
Je me souviens, de ce musicien
c'était l'automne à la maison
Je me souviens moi de ce musicien
c'était l'automne sur son violon
Le temps n'est plus où passaient les violons
quand tu étais à la maison
Il a tant plu depuis tant de saisons
le temps n'est plus aux violons
Moi dans la maison vide, dans la chambre vide je passe l'été à écouter
Cette symphonie qui était si belle et qui me rappelle un amour infini
Moi dans la maison vide, dans la chambre vide je passe ma vie à regarder
Les oiseaux qui passent comme des menaces
Et j'entends l'automne, je n'attends personne
Je me souviens de ce musicien un soir d'adieu à la maison
Je me souviens moi de ce musicien et de l'adieu sur son violon
Et chaque année lorsque l'année est finie, j'entends le violon de septembre
Et le passé comme une symphonie fait son entrée dans cette chambre
Moi dans la maison vide, dans la chambre vide, je passe la nuit à écouter
Cette symphonie, aujourd'hui finie et qui me rappelle que tu étais belle
Moi dans la maison vide, dans la chambre vide je passe ma vie à regarder
Les oiseaux qui passent comme des menaces
Et j'entends l'automne, je n'attends personne
Moi dans la maison vide, dans la chambre vide, je passe ma vie à écouter
Cette symphonie qui était si belle et qui me rappelle un amour fini
Dans la maison vide, dans la chambre vide, je passe ma vie à regarder
Les oiseaux qui passent comme des menaces
Et j'entends l'automne, je n'attends personne

And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda
And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda
Composer(s): Eric Bogle
First performance by: Eric Bogle
Covered by multiple other artists
Now when I was a young man, I carried me pack
And I lived the free life of the rover
From the Murray's green basin to the dusty outback
Well I waltzed my Matilda all over
Then in nineteen fifteen my country said "son"
It's time you stop rambeling' there's work to be done!
So they gave me a tin hat, and gave they me a gun
And they marched me away to the war
And the band played Waltzing Matilda
As the ship pulled away from the quay
And amidst all the cheers, the flag waving and tears
We sailed off for Gallipoli
And how well I remember that terrible day
How our blood stained the sand and the water
And of how in that hell that they called Suvla Bay
We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter
Johnny Turk was waiting, he'd primed himself well
He showered us with bullets, and rained us with shell
And in five minutes flat, he'd blown us all to hell
Nearly blew us right back to Australia
But the Band Played Waltzing Matilda
When we stopped to bury our slain
We buried ours and the Turks buried theirs
Then we started all over again
And those that where left, well we tried to survive
In that mad world of blood death and fire
And for ten weary weeks I kept my self alive
Though around me the corpses piled higher
Then a big turky shell, knocked me arse over head
And when I awoke up in me hospital bed
And saw what it had done, well I wished I where dead
Never knew there was worst thing than dying
For I'll go no more waltzing matilda
All around the green bush, far and free
To hump tent and pegs, a man needs both legs
No more waltzing matilda for me
So They gathered the crippled, the wounded the maimed
And they shipped us back home to Australia
The legless the armless, the blind the insane
Those proud wounded heroes of Suvla
And as our ship pulled in to Circular Quay
I looked at the place where me legs used to be
And thanked Christ there was nobody waiting for me
To grieve, to mourn and to pity
But the band played Waltzing Matilda
As they carried us down the gangway
But nobody cheered, they just stood and stared
And they turned all their faces away
And so now every April I sit on me porch
And I watch the parade pass before me
And I see my old comrades how proudly they march
Reviving old dreams of past glories
And the old men march slowly old bones stiff and sore
Their tired old heros from a forgotten old war
And the young people ask what are they marching for
And I ask meself the same question
But the band played Waltzing Matilda
And the old men still answer the call
But as year follows year more old men disappear
Someday no one will march there at all

Dans La Maison De Normandie
Dans La Maison De Normandie
Performer(s): Yves Duteil
Dans la maison de Normandie
Tout a rouillé, tout a jauni
Mais le bonheur est encore là
Blotti dans les détails, dans les taillis
Dans les fleurs qui n'ont pas fleuri
Et le bonheur est dans mon cœur aussi
L'herbe rase et les pommiers morts
Rien n'est triste dans ce décor
On dirait de l'amour qui dort
Ici les arbres ont une histoire
- c'est mon passé, c'est ma mémoire
Et mon chagrin s'est endormi un soir
L'herbe rase et les pommiers morts
Rien n'est triste dans ce décor
On dirait de l'amour qui dort
Ici le temps s'est engourdi
Rien n'a changé, rien n'a vieilli
Et la pendule s'est arrêtée aussi
Il ne meurt que ce qu'on oublie
Et la fête était si jolie
Rien n'a pu l'effacer depuis
Dans la maison de Normandie
Les tuiles s'envolent, l'air chaud s'enfuit
La cheminée refoule un peu la nuit
Dans la maison de Normandie
Tout a rouillé, tout a jauni
Mais le bonheur est toujours là, blotti
La la la la...
Dans la maison de Normandie
Tout a rouillé, tout a jauni
Mais le bonheur est toujours là, blotti

And The Baby Never Cries
And The Baby Never Cries
Composer(s): Harry Chapin
Performer(s): Harry Chapin
Well, I've sung out one more evening
and I'm wrung out, feeling beat
I walk on out the door once more
to an empty city street
A Good guitar will serve you well
when you're living in the lights
but it's never going to warm you
in the middle of the night
And so I come and go with her in whispers
Each and every time she says she dies
When she is reborn again
I kiss her
And the baby never cries
She works in the daytime
she leave her baby with a friend
I sing every evening
I only see her now and then
I come to her at midnight
when 'bout half the world's asleep
and she puts me back together
in the hours before I leave
Her apartment is down on Perry Street
there's a tree in her backyard
Her old man had left her
he just took off for the coast
and I caught her on the rebound
when I needed her the most

Dans La Jungle Ou Dans Le Zoo
Dans La Jungle Ou Dans Le Zoo
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Ainsi donc ainsi donc
Il n'y aurait plus rien à faire
Qu'à mettre la clé sous la porte
De ce château sombre et désert
Où gisent nos illusions mortes
Ainsi donc ainsi donc
Vite fait serait l'inventaire
De ces chambres abandonnées
Aux lits recouverts de poussière
Aux parquets noirs de sang séché
Et sur les carreaux des fenêtres
On pourrait écrire à la craie
"Tout demain devra disparaître
Des choses que l'on a cru vraies"
Et dans ce monde à la dérive
Pareils aux autres animaux
Nous n'aurions d'autre choix pour vivre
Que dans la jungle ou dans le zoo
Ainsi donc ainsi donc
Il n'y aurait plus rien à voir
Circulez mais circulez donc
Ainsi finirait notre histoire
Sous le poids des malédictions
Ainsi donc ainsi donc
Faudrait faire amende honorable
Raser les murs courber le dos
Se résigner au pitoyable
Errer de goulags en ghettos
Tout ne serait que simulacre
Toute espérance sans lendemain
Rien ne servirait de se battre
Pour un monde à visage humain
Il faudrait brûler tous les livres
Redevenir des animaux
Sans avoir d'autre choix pour vivre
Que dans la jungle ou dans le zoo
Ainsi donc ainsi donc
Contre la faim contre la haine
Contre le froid la cruauté
De la longue quête incertaine
Pour affirmer sa dignité
Ainsi donc ainsi donc
Il nous faudrait tout renier
De la bataille surhumaine
Que depuis l'âge des cavernes
L'homme à lui-même s'est livré
Ne tirez pas sur le pianiste
Qui joue d'un seul doigt de la main
Vous avez déchiffré trop vite
"La musique de l'être humain"
Et dans ce monde à la dérive
Son chant demeure et dit tout haut
Qu'il y a d'autres choix pour vivre
Que dans la jungle ou dans le zoo
Qu'il y aura d'autres choix pour vivre
Que dans la jungle ou dans le zoo

And The Angels Sing
And The Angels Sing
((Adapted from: Frahlich In Swing (And The Angels Sing) (by Ziggy Elman & Martha Tilton) - 1939))
Composer(s): Ziggy Elman - Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Benny Goodman & His Orch. - 1939
and multiple other artists
We meet, and the angels sing
The angels sing the sweetest song I ever heard
You speak, and the angels sing
Or am I breathing music into every word
Suddenly, the setting is strange
I can see water and moonlight beaming
Silver waves that break on some undiscovered shore - Then
Suddenly, I see it all change
Long winter nights with the candles gleaming
Through it all your face that I adore
You smile, and the angels sing
And though it's just a gentle murmur at the start
We kiss, and the angels sing
And leave their music ringing in my heart

Dans La Brume Du Matin
Dans La Brume Du Matin ((aka Chaque Matin Il Se Lève (Eddy Mitchell) - 1974))
((Adapted from: Early Morning Rain (Gordon Lightfoot) - 1966))
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot - Jean-Michel Rivat
Performer(s): Joe Dassin - 1966
Dans la brume du matin
Une pièce entre les doigts
Une peine dans le cœur
Pas de quoi rentrer chez moi
Sur un aéroport
Comme on voudrait s'envoler
Dans la brume du matin
Nulle part où aller
Sur la piste du départ
La première caravelle
Disparaît dans le brouillard
Je vois scintiller ses ailes
J'ai de la pluie dans les yeux
Dans la gorge un goût d'alcool
Mais déjà je la vois
Qui a pris son envol
Dans la brume du matin
Elle ne laisse qu'un sillage
Avant de partir au loin
Tout au-dessus des nuages
Où le ciel est toujours bleu
Où jamais il ne pleut
Elle volera à midi
Au-dessus de mon pays
Tout ça me fout le cafard
Il s'y clouait sur le sol
J'ai les yeux pleins de brouillard
J'sens la fumée, je sens l'alcool
Il vaudrait mieux pour moi
Retourner sur mes pas
M'en aller un peu plus loin
Dans la brume du matin
M'en aller un peu plus loin
Dans la brume du matin

And That Reminds Me
And That Reminds Me
Composer(s): Camillo Bargoni - Al Stillman
Performer(s): Della Reese
and multiple other artists
I hear the sound of music
Your favorite kind of music
And that reminds me dear of you
I see the summer roses
Your favorite shade of roses
And that reminds me to of you, dear
If I could hear no music
If there should be no roses
No summer nights to make me dream as I do
Perhaps, I might forget you
But in my heart I know
That I need no reminder to miss you so
I hear the sound of music
Your favorite kind of music
And that reminds me dear of you
I see the summer roses
Your favorite shade of roses
And that reminds me to of you, dear
If I could hear no music
If there should be no roses
No summer nights to make me dream as I do
Perhaps, I might forget you
But in my heart I know
That I need no reminder to miss you so

Dans Dix Ou Dans Vingt Ans
Dans Dix Ou Dans Vingt Ans
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Dans dix ou dans vingt ans d'ici
Quand nous aurons enfin compris
Que l'on ne peut pas vivre ainsi
De caresses et de déchirures
Quand je t'aurai assez trahie
Que tu m'auras assez meurtri
Saurons-nous recouvrir d'oubli
Les raisons de nos meurtrissures?
Dans dix ou dans vingt ans qui sait
Si enfin libre désormais
D'un passé de bosses et de plaies
Faites d'orgueil et de bêtises
Malgré le mal que tu me fais
Malgré tout ce qu'en moi tu hais
Connaîtrons-nous enfin la paix
A travers ce qui nous divise?
Dans dix ou dans vingt ans d'ici
Quand mille fois j'aurai franchi
Le chemin de la porte au lit
Et celui du lit à la porte
Et que n'étant plus ennemis
En nos coeurs comme en nos esprits
Tous les sujets de jalousie
Entre nous serons lettres mortes
Dans dix ou dans vingt ans passés
Que reste-t-il des années
Qu'ensemble nous aurons brûlées
En guerres froides et en reproches?
Quand le temps aura effacé
Tout ce qui peut nous séparer
Peut-être saurons-nous trouver
Des choses enfin qui nous rapprochent
Dans dix ou dans vingt ans d'ici
Quand l'âge nous auras soumis
Et qu'entre fugues et folies
L'amour aura franchi le pire
Lorsque nous connaîtrons le prix
De la tendresse et de la vie,
Que nous n'aurons plus par défi
De plaisir à s'entre-détruire
Je reviendrai par la pensée
Sur les détails de ce passé
Que tout deux nous aurons signés
La tête en feu et le coeur ivre
En me disant qu'à tes côtés
Malgré tout, et tout bien pesé
Il était beau le temps d'aimer
Il était beau le temps de vivre

And So Will You My Love
And So Will You My Love
Composer(s): Willie Nelson
Performer(s): Willie Nelson
The music stopped
The crowd is thinning now
One phase of night
Has reached an ending now
And nothing
Nothing lasts forever
Except forever
And you my love
And so you will my love
The street is dark here
While I walk along
And since you've gone
I always walk alone
'Cause nothing
Nothing lasts forever
Except forever
And you my love
And so will you my love
The dawn and I
Arrive at home at last
Night turns it's lonely face
Toward the past
'Cause nothing lasts forever
Except forever
And you my love
And so will you my love

Danny's Song
Danny's Song
Composer(s): Kenny Loggins
Originally performed by: Gator Creek
Covered by various other artists
People smile and tell me I'm the lucky one, and we've just begun
Think I'm gonna have a son
He will be like she and me, as free as a dove, conceived in love
Sun is gonna shine above
Chorus:
And even though we ain't got money, I'm so in love with ya honey
And everything will bring a chain of love
And in the morning when I rise, you bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything is gonna be alright
Seems as though a month ago I beta chi, never got high
Oh, I was a sorry guy
And now a smile, a face, a girl that shares my name
Now I'm through with the game, this boy will never be the same
(To chorus:)
Pisces, Virgo rising is a very good sign, strong and kind
And the little boy is mine
Now I see a family where there once was none, now we've just begun
Yeah, we're gonna fly to the sun
(To chorus:)
Love the girl who holds the world in a paper cup, drink it up
Love her and she'll bring you luck
And if you find she helps your mind, buddy, take her home
Don't you live alone, try to earn what lovers own
(To chorus:)

and multiple other artists
And so to sleep again, as if I’ll ever sleep again
These restless nights go on away from you
And so to dream again, as if I’ll ever dream again
My darling, since you’ve gone, my dreams are through
No other arms can ease this ache within my heart
No other lips can kiss away these tears that start
And so to sleep again, as if I’ll ever sleep again
As if I’ll ever love again anyone but you
No other arms can ease this ache within my heart
No other lips can kiss away these tears that start
And so to sleep again, as if I’ll ever sleep again
As if I’ll ever love again anyone but you

Danny's All-Star Joint
Danny's All-Star Joint
Composer(s): Rickie Lee Jones
Performer(s): Rickie Lee Jones; Sarah Green
Downstairs at Danny's All-Star joint
They got a juke box that goes doyt-doyt
The vice is nice, they stay in the back all day
But when the nighttime comes, hey-hey
There's this cat down there that makes a bad kinda soup
I come around struttin' my luck in my shoop coupe
Cecil gives me coffee
And he won't never take my coin
I say, "I got thirty dollars in my pocket!
Whatchoo doin'?"
I holler, "Come on, Cecil, take a dollar!
Come on, Cecil, take a ten!
I've finally geared up into a whole buncha big ones
And you're actin' like I'm down-shiftin'"
He knows all the under-riders on the boulevard
They got to barefoot cruise when it's forty-weight hard
They look particularly dead-beat
Permanently pale
Cecil picks up his butcher knife
Waves it at the jail
The kid say, "I ain't got no dough, Joe, I just want some OJ"
I said, "Don't look at me" (Cuz he was lookin' my way)
Cecil wink upon him some juice and some green
And the kid walks over and puts the quarter in the pinball machine
And he says, "Come on, Cec, gimme a dollar
Come on Cecil gimme five
I'm in a halfway house on a one-way street
And I'm a quarter past left alive"
He can talk about your people in a wonderful way
He can talk about your people 'til your hair turns grey
Your sisters into mustard
She loves to walk the pup
She like pickles and a relish
She never gets enough
A Hershey milkshake
Steamin on a stick
For a Carte Blanche Sandwich
Oh lettuce get thick...
It's not because I'm dirty
It's not because I'm clean
It's not because I kiss the boys behind a magazine...
Hey Boys, how 'bout a fight?
Here comes Ricky with the girdle on tight
And if she dont know your name
She knows what you got
From your matzo balls
To the chicken in the pot..
Chicken in the pot...
Chicken in the pot...
Chicken in the...
Dooowwwnnn stairs at Danny's All-Star joint
They got a jukebox that goes doyt-doyt
A finger-snappin' deluxe
Make your be-bop bap
And your r and b hep-scat
You can't break the rules until you know how to play the game
But if you just wanna have a little fun
you can mention my name
Keep your feet in the street...
Your toes in the lawn...
But keep your business in your pocket
That's where it belongs
Come on, Cecil, take a dollar
Come on, Cecil, take a tip
Do yourself a favour
If she offers it, take it
But honey, don't give it away if he don't appreciate it

Performer(s): Judy Garland
And so to bed
I pray for the good Lord to bless you
So to bed
In dreams I will fondly caress you
For in dreams
You're near and yet so far
I reach for you
But you're not there, my darling
So to bed
I leave you for dawn is ascending
So to bed
Your kiss is the night's happy ending
We'll meet again tomorrow
When the moon is soft and low
So to bed
Goodnight

Danny Boy
Composer(s): Frederick Edward Weatherly
Originally performed by: Ernestine Schumann-Heink
Covered by various other artists
Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
It's you, it's you must go and I must bide
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so!
But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an Avè there for me
And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!

My heart has been torn

The night I was born
Oh Danny, oh Danny is my name
I'm so afraid of tomorrow
So tired of today
They say that love is the answer
But love never came my way
I'm writing a letter
To someone I know
So if you should find it
And if you're alone
Oh Danny, yes, Danny is my name
Oh Danny, yes, Danny is my name
Oh-oh-oh-oh

And So It Goes
And So It Goes
Composer(s): Graham Nash
Performer(s): Graham Nash
I'm the oil upon the water
I'm the lava in the flow
Resting like a rock beside the seaside
I'm the son and you're the daughter
of the stranger that we know
who gets a little stoned beside the wayside
Well, there's one thing to try
everybody knows
music gets you high
everybody grows
and so it goes
You're the lips that make the laughter
you're the sunshine in the snow
shining out on everything you feel
you're the bird that dropped the berry
on the island far below
finding out that everything is real
Well, there's one thing to try ...
We are loved and we are lonely
we are many, we are few
make it out odf love and build a dream
we are hoboes, we are holy
we are me and we are you
can't it be as easy as it seems?
Well, there's one thing to try ...
