My Love Won't Let You Down


My Love Won't Let You Down
Composer(s): Peter Godwin
Performer(s): Nathalie



When you treat me like a child
Like a runaway, a runaround
I need you just the same
When you lift me up, when you put me down

My love, oooh, won't let you down
My love, oooh, won't let you down

You listen to your friends
I'm another toy for a challenge boy
These tears you'll never see
Will change again the tears of joy

My love, oooh, won't let you down
My love, oooh, won't let you down
Ecoute, mon coeur, qui cra-cra-craque
Ecoute, mon coeur, qui cra-cra-craque

To win a heart, you know it's just a lie
Keeping you away from me
We're torn apart, reaching for the sky
If tonight you stay with me

My love won't let you down
My love won't let you down
Écoute, mon coeur, qui cra-cra-craque
Écoute, mon coeur, qui cra-cra-craque

Je manque de ton amour
Ne m'en veux pas, je brûle pour toi
J'ai rêvé en plein jour
Tu m'as fait mal, ça va, ça va

Tu veux que je sorte de ta vie
Et là ma foi je perdrai tout
Tu veux que je me casse
Alors vas y et fait ta

My love won't let you down
My love won't let you down
Écoute, mon coeur, qui cra-cra-craque
Écoute, mon coeur, qui cra-cra-craque

Écoute, mon coeur, qui cra-cra-craque
Écoute, mon coeur, qui cra-cra-craque
Écoute, mon coeur, qui
Écoute, mon coeur, qui

Écoute, mon coeur, qui cra-cra-craque
Écoute, mon coeur, qui cra-cra-craque

To win a heart, you know it's just a lie
Keeping you away from me
We're torn apart, reaching for the sky
If tonight you stay with me

My love won't let you down
My love won't let you down

My love, oooh, won't let you down
My love, oooh, won't let you down
Écoute, mon coeur, qui cra-cra-craque
Écoute, mon coeur, qui cra-cra-craque

My love, oooh, won't let you down
My love, oooh, won't let you down
My love won't let you down
My love won't let you down

My love, oooh, won't let you down
My love, oooh, won't let you down
My love won't let you down
My love won't let you down

My love, oooh, won't let you down

My love won't let you down
My love won't let you down

Diamonds At Your Feet


Diamonds At Your Feet Composer(s): McKinley Morganfield Performer(s): Muddy Waters; Big Bill Morganfield



She got to take sick and die one of these days
She got to take sick and die oh! one of these days
All the medicine I can buy, and all the doctors she can hire
She got to take sick and die one of these days

When she's dead I'm gonna bury her very deep
When she's dead I'm gonna bury her very deep
I'm gonna bury her very deep, rubies and diamonds round her feet
She got to take sick and die one of these days

I got to take sick and die one of these days
She got to take sick and die oh! one of these days
All the medicine she can buy, and all the doctors she can hire
She got to take sick and die one of these days

She got to take sick and die one of these days
She got to take sick and die one of these days
All the medicine she can buy, and all the doctors she can hire
She got to take sick and die one of these days

If it was me and all the powers in my hands
If it was me and all the powers in my hands
If it was me and all the powers laying there child in my hands
She would have to go down to the promised land

April Love


April Love
Composer(s): Sammy Fain - Paul Francis Webster
First recording/First release by: Pat Boone - 1957
Covered by multiple other artists



April love is for the very young
Every star's a wishing star that shines for you
April love is all the seven wonders
One little kiss can tell you this is true

Sometimes an April day will suddenly bring showers
Rain to grow the flowers for her first bouquet
But April love can slip right through your fingers
So if she's the one don't let her run away

Sometimes an April day will suddenly bring showers
Rain to grow the flowers for her first bouquet
But April love can slip right through your fingers
So if she's the one don't let her run away

Diamonds Are Forever


Diamonds Are Forever Composer(s): John Barry - Don Black First release by: Shirley Bassey - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists



Diamonds are forever
They are all I need to please me
They can stimulate and tease me
They won't leave in the night
I've no fear that they might desert me

Diamonds are forever
Hold one up and then caress it
Touch it, stroke it and undress it
I can see every part
Nothing hides in the heart to hurt me

I don't need love
For what good will love do me?
Diamond never lie to me
For when love's gone they'll lustre on

Diamonds are forever
Sparking round my little finger
Unlike men, the diamonds linger
Men are mere mortals who are no
Worth going to your grave for
(Repeat)

Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
Forever and forever…

Middellandse Zee


Middellandse Zee
Composer(s): G. van Wageningen
Performer(s): Anita Berry



Middellandse zee, souvenir van een zomer
Enkel al het woord is als wijn op de tong
Middellandse zee, wie haar kent wordt een dromer
Die nog nooit voldoende haar charme bezong
Duizend keer (duizend keer)
Kan dit lied al gezongen zijn (ahahahahahah)
Maar ik leer (maar ik leer)
Van de wind soms een nieuw refrein (ahahahahahah)
En steeds weer (en steeds weer)
Geeft de zee mij het tempo aan (ahahahahahah)
In een ritme (in een ritme)
Dat blijft bekoren zolang er licht is van zon en maan

Overal in Europa's zuiden, van Gibraltar tot bij Capri
Componeren natuurgeluiden steeds opnieuw deze melodie
De natuur schrijft met vele handen
En de zee dient als blauwe inkt
Het papier zijn de witte stranden
Waar ik kon lezen hoe dit wijsje klinkt

Middellandse zee, souvenir van een zomer
Enkel al het woord is als wijn op de tong
Middellandse zee, wie haar kent wordt een dromer
Die nog nooit voldoende haar charme bezong
Duizend keer (duizend keer)
Kan dit lied al gezongen zijn (ahahahahahah)
Maar ik leer (maar ik leer)
Van de wind soms een nieuw refrein (ahahahahahah)
En steeds weer (en steeds weer)
Geeft de zee mij het tempo aan (ahahahahahah)
In een ritme (in een ritme)
Dat blijft bekoren zolang er licht is van zon en maan

Duizend keer (duizend keer)
Kan dit lied al gezongen zijn (ahahahahahah)
Maar ik leer (maar ik leer)
Van de wind soms een nieuw refrein (ahahahahahah)
En steeds weer (en steeds weer)
Geeft de zee mij het tempo aan (ahahahahahah)
In een ritme (in een ritme)
Dat blijft bekoren zolang er licht is van zon en maan

La lalala la la lalala la la lalala la la

Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend


Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend
Composer(s): Jule Styne - Leo Robin
First performance/First release by: Carol Channing - 1949/1950
Covered by multiple other artists



The French were bred to die for love
They delight in fighting duels
But I prefer a man who lives
And gives expensive jewels
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
A kiss may be grand but it won't pay the rental
On your humble flat or help you at the automat
Men grow cold as girls grow old
We all lose our charm in the end
But square cut or pear shape
These rocks don't lose their shape
... Tiffany's... Cartier...
Talk to me, Harry, Winston, tell me all about it!
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Yeah diamonds are a girl's best friend
Let's rock
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
There may come a time when a hardboiled employer
Thinks you're awful nice, but get that ice or else no dice
He's your guy when stocks are high
But beware when they start to descend
It's then that those louses go back to their spouses
And diamonds are a girl's best friend
I've heard of affairs that are strictly platonic
But diamonds are a girl's best friend,
And I think affairs that you must keep liaisonic
Are better bets if little pets get big baggettes
Time rolls on and youth is gone
And you can't straighten up when you bend
But stiff back or stiff knees
You stand straight at Tiffany's
Diamonds... Diamonds...
- I don't mean rhinestones -
but Diamonds, Are A Girl's Best Friends
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Yeah diamonds are a girl's best friend
Let's rock again
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

April Lady


April Lady
Composer(s): Brian May - Tim Staffell
Performer(s): Queen



She won our hearts
The arts she loved
Is painting pictures for free
When she was done she hung them up
For all the children to see
Goodbye April lady
It's been good to have you around
Goodbye April lady
You've done a lot for the folks in this town
The children learned to read
She strung their beads
It's sorry she was the one
As you can see isn't she good
She don't leave nothing undone
Goodbye April lady
It's been good to have you around
Goodbye April lady
You've done a lot for the folks in this town
She taught them all to love
She was their cream
And we don't want her to go
But we know too well
She fell in love
And there's no stopping her so
Goodbye April lady
It's been good to have you around
Goodbye April lady
You've done a lot for the folks in this town
Goodbye April lady...

Diamonds & Rust


Diamonds & Rust Composer(s): Joan Baez First release by: Joan Baez - 1975 and multiple other artists



Well I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you happened to call
And here I sit
Hand on the telephone
Hearing a voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall

As I remember your eyes
Were bluer than robin's eggs
My poetry was lousy you said
Where are you calling from?
A booth in the midwest
Ten years ago
I bought you some cufflinks
You brought me something
We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust

Well you burst on the scene
Already a legend
The unwashed phenomenon
The original vagabond
You strayed into my arms
And there you stayed
Temporarily lost at sea
The Madonna was yours for free
Yes the girl on the half-shell
Would keep you unharmed

Now I see you standing
With brown leaves falling around
And snow in your hair
Now you're smiling out the window
Of that crummy hotel
Over Washington Square
Our breath comes out white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
We both could have died then and there

Now you're telling me
You're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You who are so good with words
And at keeping things vague
Because I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly
Yes I loved you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid

Dans Wat Dichter Bij Mij


Dans Wat Dichter Bij Mij
Performer(s): De Heikrekels



Dans wat dichter bij mij, dans wat dichter bij mij
Bij tango-muziek, en wat romantiek, dans ik met jou zo fijn
Dans wat dichter bij mij, dans wat dichter bij mij
Zonder jou en muziek, en wat romantiek, kan ik niet zijn
Kijk mij eens aan met je mooie bruine ogen
Jij bent voor mij 't meisje waar ik van droom
Dans wat dichter bij mij, dans wat dichter bij mij
Zonder jou en muziek, en wat romantiek, kan ik niet zijn

't Eerste wat ik zag, dat was jouw lieve lach
Ik voelde mij opeens zo vreemd bewogen
M'n hart ging sneller slaan
Toen ik je daar zag staan
Betoverd door je mooie bruine ogen
En bij 't schemerlicht, een schaduw in 't gezicht
Vond ik het meisje van m'n dromen
Ik vroeg jou om een dans
En ik paaide m'n kans
Toen ik jou aan je oor zachtjes zei

Dans wat dichter bij mij, dans wat dichter bij mij
Bij tango-muziek, en wat romantiek, dans ik met jou zo fijn
Dans wat dichter bij mij, dans wat dichter bij mij
Zonder jou en muziek, en wat romantiek, kan ik niet zijn
Kijk mij eens aan met je mooie bruine ogen
Jij bent voor mij 't meisje waar ik van droom
Dans wat dichter bij mij, dans wat dichter bij mij
Zonder jou en muziek, en wat romantiek, kan ik niet zijn

Diamond Girl


Diamond Girl Composer(s): James Seals - Dash Crofts Performer(s): Seals & Crofts; Jim Hendricks



Diamond Girl, you sure do shine
Glad I found you, glad you're mine
Oh my love, you're like a precious stone
part of earth where heaven has rained on
Makes no difference where you are
Day or nighttime, you're like a shinin' star
And how could I shine without you, when it's about you that I am?

Diamond Girl, roamin' wild
Such a rare thing, radiant child
I could never find, another one like you
Part of me is deep down inside you
Can't you feel the whole world a-turnin'
We are real, and we are a-burnin'
Diamond Girl, now that I've found you, it's about you that I am

Diamond Girl, you sure do shine
Diamond Girl, you sure do shine
Diamond Girl, you sure do shine
Diamond Girl, you sure do shine

April In Portugal


April In Portugal
Composer(s): Raul Ferrão - José Galhardo
Performer(s): Les Baxter



I found my April dream in Portugal with you
When we discovered romance, like we never knew
My head was in the clouds
My heart went crazy too
And madly I said: "I love you"

Too soon I heard you say
"This dream is for a day"
That's Porugal and love in April!
And when the showers fell
Those tears I know so well
They told me it was spring fooling me

I found my April dream in Portugal with you
When we discovered romance, like I never knew
Then morning brought the rain
And now my dream is through
But still my heart says "I love you"

This sad reality, To know it couldn't be
That's Portugal and love in April!
The music and the wine convinced me you were mine
But it was just the spring fooling me

I found my April dream in Portugal with you
When we discovered romance, like I never knew
Then morning brought the rain
And now my dream is through
But still my heart says "I love you"

Diamants


Diamants
Performer(s): Dalida



Il y a des hommes qui meurent d'amour
En vous promettant la lune
Il y a des hommes qui sont doux mais moi
Je les veux fous

Celui qui voudra m'offrir une rivière
Il pourra se pendre à mon coup
Il faudra qu'il est
D'élégant manière et beaucoup de sous
C'est tout ce qu'il faut pour me plaire
Un petit Diamant tout bleu
C'est bien plus jolie qu'un ciel bleu
Et je dirai oui au premier milliardaire
Qui voudra bien se ruiner

Vingt carats!
Bague au doigt!
Noir, bleu, blanc, rouge
Des fabuleux joyaux voilà ce qu'il me faut

A ceux qui me disent tu sais combien je t'aime
Moi je répond tout simplement
Offrez moi d'abord de l'Or et des Diadèmes
Et je vous croirais quand je les auraient essayés
Un jolie Saphir c'est mieux
Que le plus romantique des aveux

Je veux tout à moi les bijoux de la terre
Pour me laisser adorée

Celui qui sera m'aimer comme une reine
Il pourra se pendre à mon coup
Pour me faire la cour ce n'est pas un problème
Il lui suffit de me recouvrir de bijoux
Un petit Diamant tout bleu
C'est bien plus jolie qu'un ciel bleu
Une femme amoureuse ça vaut des Diamants
Diamants

Diamants, Diamants
Pour me séduire
Les Diamants
C'est ce qu'il me faut

Is Er Een Ander?


Is Er Een Ander?
Composer(s): John Terra - Jean Kluger - Yan Nick
First release by: John Terra - 1973



Weten ze thuis dat we samen zijn
Nooit mag ik jou daar komen halen
Iedere afspraak is geheim
Waarom liefste,wat verzwijg je mij

Is er een ander tussen jou en mij
Is er een ander,ben ik nu teveel
Ben je niet zeker van je hart
Je blijft niet meer de hele nacht
Is er een ander tussen jou en mij

Jij bent ineens niet dezelfde meer
Laat men je thuis niet met mij uitgaan
Jij weet hoeveel ik van je hou
Maar je twijfelt, daarom vraag ik jou

Is er een ander tussen jou en mij
Is er een ander ben ik nu teveel
Ben je niet zeker van je hart
Je blijft niet meer de hele nacht
Is er een ander tussen jou en mij

Is er een ander tussen jou en mij
Is er een ander ben ik nu teveel?
Ben je niet zeker van je hart
Je blijft niet meer de hele nacht
Is er een ander tussen jou en mij

Ben je niet zeker van je hart
Je blijft niet meer de hele nacht
Is er een ander tussen jou en mij

Diamond Field


Diamond Field Composer(s): Pat Benatar - Neil Giraldo - Myron Grombacher Performer(s): Pat Benatar



From the top of the hill
You can see all the lights of the diamond field
The treasure buried in plain sight
Where one mans loss is another mans gain
And no one cares about anything, worth caring about

Shall we go to the diamond field tonight
Tightrope walkin’, in the web of light
Shall we go the diamond field and try
To seek the fortune in their eyes

One by one the lights go out
And the diamond field begins to fade

It turns back into cement and stone
Brick and asphalt, flesh and bone

Shall we go to the diamond field tonight
Tightrope walkin’, in the web of light
Shall we go the diamond field and try
To seek the fortune in their eyes

Shall we go to the diamond field tonight
Tightrope walkin’, in the web of light
Electric angles move against the night
Shining in the diamond field

I never knew the charm of spring
I never met it face to face
I never knew my heart could sing
I never missed a warm embrace

Till April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom
Holiday tables under the trees
April in Paris, this is a feeling
That no one can ever reprise

I never knew the charm of spring
I never met it face to face
I never knew my heart could sing
I never missed a warm embrace
Till April in Paris
Whom can I run to
What have you done to my heart

Diamonds Composer(s): James Harris The III - Terry Lewis Performer(s): Herb Alpert



You tell me you love me
You tell me you care
But when I'm around you
It's like I'm not there
I need a reminder
Something can see
Something on my finger
Shining so brightly

Don't you know
Diamonds are a girls' best friend
When you go
They stay with me until the end
Don't you know
Diamonds are a girls' best - best friend
When you go
They stay with me until the end

Don't want your money
Don't want your key
Diamonds
Love don't come for free
Don't want your money
Don't want your key
Diamonds
Love don't come for free

You sent me some roses
But roses do die
You gave me some candy
It melted - nice try
I'm not that demanding
I have simple taste
I just want a token
That can't go to waste
Diamonds

Don't you know
Diamonds are a girls' best friend
When you go
They stay with me until the end
Don't you know
Diamonds are a girls' best - best friend
When you go
They stay with me until the end

Avril à Paris
Mansardes fleuries
Les Champs-Elysées ont reverdi
Qu'il fait bon flâner
Rue Saint Honoré
Ou à Saint Germain des Prés

J'ignorais tout jusqu'à présent
J'ignorais tout du printemps
Comment pouvais-je imaginer
Ce Paris ensoleillé et

D'Auteuil à Neuilly
Du Louvre à Passy
C'est jour de fête à Paris

Sur les trottoirs les marronniers
Se dressent en chandeliers

Depuis aujourd'hui
Avril à Paris
Me fait adorer la vie

pioggia saro`

Impareremo a camminare
per mano insieme a camminare
Domenica

Aspettero` che aprano i vinai
piu` grande ti sembrero`
e tu piu` grande sarai
nuove distanze ci riavvicineranno
dall'alto di un cielo, Diamante
i nostri occhi vedranno

Passare insieme soldati e spose
ballare piano in controluce
moltiplicare la nostra voce
per mano insieme soldati e spose
Domenica, Domenica

Fai piano i bimbi grandi non piangono
Fai piano i bimbi grandi non piangono

ballare piano in controluce
moltiplicare la nostra voce
passare in pace soldati e spose

Avril à Paris, le coeur en sursis, chagrins et soucis s'en vont au vent
Avril à Paris, c'est une mélodie dont personne n'est à l'abri

Je n'ai jamais connu d'hiver plus dur que celui de ton départ
L'été m'a paru un désert, loin de toi, l'automne est là mais
Avril à Paris, chagrin et soucis, le coeur en sursis, seul sous la pluie

Je n'ai jamais connu d'hiver plus dur que celui de ton départ
L'été m'a paru un désert, loin de toi, l'automne est là mais
Avril à Paris, le coeur en sursis, mais qu'as-tu fait de ma vie?

One more time! Non? Ah bon, dommage

Diálogos De Rodrigo Y Gimena


Diálogos De Rodrigo Y Gimena
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Gimena:
Rodrigo, mi amor, no debisteis, venir
de nada me vale tu audacia
Retira tus pasos, que pierdo mi honor
retira tus pasos, por gracia

Rodrigo:
Vengo, Señora, porque yo he de morir
y antes que muera, dejadme compartir
este inmutable amor que nace en mi corazón
No aceptaré morir sin que le deis perdón

Gimena:
Rodrigo morirás y mi pena vengaré
Huye, no vuelvas más
pues si quedas yo no olvidaré

Rodrigo:
Cuando el olvido entierre este dolor

Gimena:
Dónde tu gran valor que a los moros ajustició
dónde tu gran valor que a mi buen padre asesinó
Temes ahora
Dónde enfermó tu honor

Rodrigo:
Pues que os resentís de mi antiguo preceder
a don Sancho iré con afán de no vencer
Y lo respetaré en homenaje a vos
a su mano honraré la vuestra que perdió
Corro a mi suplicio, Gimena de mi amor

Gimena:
Si el honor, a pesar de su pasión
lo prefieres a mi amor
vete sin querer morir
si ya no quieres morir

Rodrigo:
Sin ser vencido ni victorioso
clamarán: "Amada Gimena
Quiso la muerte antes que el odio
y el resentimiento de Gimena"

Gimena:
Si es que me amas todavía
ay, Rodrigo de mi amor
sal vencedor de este combate
del cual Gimena es galardón

Rodrigo:
Clamo a los valientes del mundo luchar
contra Don Rodrigo amado por Gimena
Gimena
