Dein Letzter Brief


Dein Letzter Brief
Performer(s): Udo Jürgens



Dein letzter Brief kam über viele Meilen zu mir
Ich hatte mich so sehr gesehnt danach
Ich las ihn nur und sah' nach ein paar Zeilen
wie eine Welt für mich zusammenbrach

Dein letzter Brief sagt mir nur
es wär' herrlich gewesen
doch daß es besser wär', auseinander zu geh'n
Den letzten Brief
hundertmal hab' ich ihn schon gelesen
doch fürcht' ich sehr
ich werd' ihn nie versteh'n

Dein letzter Brief: "Gib' mich frei!"
hast du darin geschrieben
daß du von mir dich trennst
und auch dir fiel es schwer

Eins kannst du nicht
Mir verbieten dich weiter zu lieben
Bis du erkennst, so liebt dich keiner mehr
Bis du erkennst, so liebt dich keiner mehr

Did You Boogie (With Your Baby)


Did You Boogie (With Your Baby) Composer(s): Rod McQueen Performer(s): Flash Cadillac & The Continental Kids



(Wolfman) Ahhh, do you remember the first time you started to date and the places you had to go just to be alone with your number one? Well, I hope this song brings back a whole lot of beautiful memories for you (Flash) Did you boogie with your baby in the back row of the movie show And did you boogie there 'cause you had nowhere else that you could go And when the lights went way down low Did you forget about the picture show Yes, did you boogie with your baby in the back row of the movie show Hey, little girl was it so long ago We'd take a walk just to be alone And hey little girl if it should rain or snow Remember where we would go Did you boogie with your baby in the back row of the movie show And did you boogie there 'cause you had nowhere else that you could go And when the lights went way down low Did you forget about the picture show Yes, did you boogie with your baby in the back row of the movie show Hey, little girl was it so long ago We'd take a walk just to be alone And hey little girl if it should rain or snow Remember where we would go (Wolfman) Sometimes I get to thinkin' there's not enough love and romance left in our lives today And that's why I'd like to reminisce and to relive that first feeling of love and do it all over again (Flash) Hey little girl why not come over here and set beside me and make believe and say, little girl, why not stay over here we'll have a party for two Did you boogie with your baby in the back row of the movie show And did you boogie there 'cause you had nowhere else that you could go And when the lights went way down low Did you forget about the picture show Yes, did you boogie with your baby in the back row of the movie show Hey, little girl was it so long ago We'd take a walk just to be alone And hey little girl if it should rain or snow Remember where we would go

Did It In A Minute


Did It In A Minute Composer(s): Sara Allen - Daryl Hall - John Oates Performer(s): Hall & Oates



When you find yourself alone
And when going out is coming home
Well, you can count on "the kid"
'Cause there's nobody waiting around
Oh oh if you're not an easy mark
It's a shot in the dark that hits the heart
And I know, I know, I know, I know
When it's coming
(I thought so anyway)
Some things stay the same
And some are due for change
I thought I had them all nailed down
But you turned it around

Oh you did it
You did it, you did it, you did it
You did it in a minute
I know you did it
You did it, you did it, you did it
You did it in a minute

Well I still can't say I know
When a love is real or touch and go
And if two can be one
Who is the one two becomes oh oh
Am I quick enough to see
When I'm ready and it's right for me
I say, I say, I say, I say that I want it
(I think so anyway)
Everybody always laughs at love
But what they want is to be proven wrong
Then you came along

Oh you did it
You did it, you did it, you did it
You did it in a minute
I know you did it
You did it, you did it, you did it
You did it in a minute

Aquel Atardecer


Aquel Atardecer
Composer(s): José Luis Armenteros - Pablo Herrero
Performer(s): Nino Bravo



Las palabras de amor
se pierden
como el viento sobre el mar
tus promesas bajo el sol
quedaron sin valor
cuando dijiste adiós
no bastaban para ti mis besos
preferiste otra aventura
y en aquel atardecer
te fuiste para no volver

Nuestra casa se quedó vacía
solo guarda tu recuerdos
desde aquel atardecer
que solo me quedé sin ti
uooooooh.. sin ti

Did I Remember?


Did I Remember? Composer(s): Harold Adamson - Walter Donaldson Performer(s): Jean Harlow and multiple other artists



Did I remember to tell you I adore you
And I am living for you alone

Did I remember to say I'm lost without you
And just how mad about you I've grown

You were in my arms and that was all I knew
We were alone, we two, what did I say to you

Did I remember to tell you I adore you
And pray forevermore you'll be mine

I Will (Dean Martin)


I Will
Performer(s): Dean Martin



I don't want to be the one to say I'm gonna miss you but I will
I don't want to say I'm gonna cry my eyes out baby but I will
I'm not ashamed for you to know how much I really love you so
Cuz it was such a thrill
And just remember when you're gone there'll be that someone sad who loves you still

You will look at him and see me smiling back at you
I know you will (You will)
And you will find yourself repeating things we used to do
I know you will (You will)

Don't wonder if you want to come back just come running home to me
And let me feel that thrill
Cuz I'm the one who told you
I would love you dear forever and I will

Oh, I will...
Yes, I will...

Don't wonder if you want to come back just come running home to me
And let me feel that thrill
Cuz I'm the one who told you
I would love you dear forever and I will
Cuz I'm the one who told you
I would love you dear forever and I will
(I will)

Did I Ever Love You?


Did I Ever Love You?
Composer(s): Willie Nelson
Performer(s): Willie Nelson; Timi Yuro



Did I ever ever love you
Did I ever really care
All the times that I cried for you
Did I really want you there
Wiser men than I have wondered
About love and never knew
And if I ever loved you
I guess I still do

All the nights that I spent crying
All those lonely, lonesome times
Was it my imagination
Was it only in my mind
Wiser men than I have wondered
About love and never knew
And if I ever loved you
I guess I still do

Is it here today and gone tomorrow
This love that no one can explain
Can it begin a thing of beauty
Then undergo a dreadful change
Wiser men than I have wondered
About love and never knew
And if I ever loved you
I guess I still do

Got to open up your heart and let it shine on in
And when you feel like you've been mistreated
And your friends turn away
Just open your heart, and shine it on in ...

Als Een Leeuw In Een Kooi


Als Een Leeuw In Een Kooi
Composer(s): Roland Verlooven; Peir
Performer(s): Willy Sommers



Geen film op TV
Geen zin in 't cafe
En ik huiver van de kou
De radio dramt door
Maar al wat ik hoor
Klinkt even grijs en grauw

Ik draai hier rond en rond en rond
Als een leeuw in een kooi
Aan wanhoop ten prooi
Ik loop verloren in de kille nacht
Toch hou ik de wacht
Maar je komt niet naar me toe
Het heeft geen zin meer dat ik op je wacht
Ik blijf alleen vannacht
'k Word mijn leven langzaam moe
Wat had je dan toch wel van mij verwacht
Wat had je dan gedacht
Of wat wil je dat ik doe
Wil je misschien nog dat ik op je wacht
Zie ik jou vannacht
Kom je toch weer naar me toe
Ik draai hier rond en rond en rond
Als een leeuw in een kooi
Aan wanhoop ten prooi

'k Verveel me hier dood
Mijn kop zit vol schroot
En ik voel me vreselijk down
Je weet waar ik woon
Ik heb telefoon
Maar ik hoor toch niks van jou

Ik draai hier rond en rond en rond
Als een leeuw in een kooi
Aan wanhoop ten prooi
Ik loop verloren in de kille nacht
Toch hou ik de wacht
Maar je komt niet naar me toe
Het heeft geen zin meer dat ik op je wacht
Ik blijf alleen vannacht
'k Word mijn leven langzaam moe
Wat had je dan toch wel van mij verwacht
Wat had je dan gedacht
Of wat wil je dat ik doe
Wil je misschien nog dat ik op je wacht
Zie ik jou vannacht
Kom je toch weer naar me toe
Ik draai hier rond en rond en rond
Als een leeuw in een kooi
Aan wanhoop ten prooi

Ik loop verloren in de kille nacht
Toch hou ik de wacht
Maar je komt niet naar me toe
Het heeft geen zin meer dat ik op je wacht
Ik blijf alleen vannacht
'k Word mijn leven langzaam moe...

Laissons Entrer Le Soleil


Laissons Entrer Le Soleil
((Adapted from: Aquarius (by Ronald Dyson And Company) - 1967/1968
((aka Aquarius/Let The Sun Shine In (by The 5th Dimension) - 1969))
Composer(s): James Rado - Gerome Ragni - Galt MacDermot - Jacques Lanzmann
Performer(s): Julien Clerc



On se guette
Traqués, à bout de souffle
Marchant
Pétrifiés dans nos manteaux
D'hiver
Refoulés aux frontières du mensonge
Des nations qui crèvent

Tués par des rêves chimériques
Ecrasés de certitudes
Dans un monde glacé de solitude

Savoir
Si quelque part il y a
L'espoir
D'être un jour les enfants
Du hasard
Je vois ma vie projeter
Son futur dans l'espace

Et le silence me répond
En secret
Parker, j'ai l'impression de mourir

Manchester england
Manchester england

Au bout de l'Atlantique
je suis un génie, génie
Et je crois en Dieu
et je crois que Dieu
En Claude a foi
Et Claude
c'est moi, c'est moi

On se guette
Traqués, à bout de souffle
Marchant
Pétrifiés dans nos manteaux
D'hiver
Refoulés aux frontières du mensonge
Des nations qui crèvent

Tués par des rêves chimériques
Ecrasés de certitudes
Dans un monde glacé de solitude
Chantons
Nos rêves d'espoir sur un sitar
Sitar
De toi le roi est né
Et chantons
La vie qui est en nous et autour
De nous

Laissons, laissons, entrer le soleil
Laissons, laissons, entrer le soleil
Laissez, laissez entrer le soleil
Laissez, laissez entrer le soleil

Let the sun shine
Let the sun shine in
Let the sun shine in
Let the sun shine ....

Laat Me Nu Toch Niet Alleen


Laat Me Nu Toch Niet Alleen
Composer(s): Dan Lacksman; Johan Verminnen
Performer(s): Johan Verminnen



Laat me nu toch niet alleen
Laat me nu toch niet alleen
Radeloos en verloren
Sloop die muren om me heen
Help me zo bij jou te komen

Neem me mee naar je land
Vol muziek en vol dromen
Leid me naar je land
Laat me in jouw wolken wonen

Laat me eens je gezel zijn
Wees de gids die me zal leiden
Want ik ben reeds lang op reis
En zo moe, kom en bevrijd me

Neem me mee naar je land
Vol muziek en vol dromen
Leid me naar je land
Laat me in jouw wolken wonen

Laat me nu toch niet alleen
Neem m'n hand en toon me
De weg die leidt naar jou alleen
Help me zo bij jou te komen

Neem me mee naar je land
Vol muziek en vol dromen
Leid me naar je land
Laat me in jouw wolken wonen

Dick And Jane


Dick And Jane
Composer(s): D. Blackwell
Performer(s): Bobby Vinton



Look, Dick look, look at Jane
See Jane laugh and play
Look, Dick look, see pretty Jane
I'm gonna marry her someday

I've loved her since we were children
back in grammar school
Loved her then and I always will
Though I know I'm just a fool

Then one day I kissed her
But it was all in vain
'Cause I was at their reception
to have fun with Dick and Jane

Look, Dick look, look at Jane
See Jane laugh and play
Look, Dick look, see pretty Jane
I'm gonna marry her someday

Time has turned some pages
Since they moved away
I think back in stage
of the way she'd laugh and play

Today I received a letter
that she has passed away
So one last time I kissed her
by the flowers where she'll lay

Look, Dick look, look at Jane
See Jane laugh and play
Look, Dick look, see pretty Jane
I'm gonna marry her someday

Aquarius Miracle


Aquarius Miracle
Composer(s): Kim Fowley - Helen Reddy
Performer(s): Helen Reddy



You're a good dancer
So light on your feet
And a romancer
That talks awful sweet

Aquarius miracle
Makes Scorpio lyrical
Don't think me satirical
'Cause that's what I feel

You're such a good rider
With such a good seat
As a provider
you can't be beat

Our cosmic consciousness was raised by the power
It was fortuitous we met at this hour
And if our horoscopes will only allow it

We go together, we make a good team
Now and forever we share the same dream

Diciotto Anni


Diciotto Anni
((Adapted from: Il Venait D'avoir 18 Ans (Dalida) - 1974))
Composer(s): Pascal Auriat - Pascal Sevran - Serge Lebrail
Performer(s): Dalida - 1974

Versions In Other Languages:
1974 - He Must Have Been Eighteen (Dalida)
1974 - Hij Was Pas Achttien (Conny Vandenbos)
1974 - Er War Gerade 18 Jahr (Dalida)
1974 - Juuhassai No Kare (Dalida)



18 anni ed era li
Col volto ancora da bambino eppure uomo
Come l'estate m'incendio

Ed io guardandolo contai i miei autunni
Ho messo agli occhi un po di blu
Ed i capelli un po più giù l'ha divertito
Quando è venuto incontro a me
Avrei pagato non so che per couquistarlo

18 anni e stava li
Era già tutta nell'età la sua vittoria
Perchè parlare mai d'amore
Diceva che parlar d'amore è vecchia storia
Mi ha detto ' ho voglia di te '
Il suo respiro su di me aveva fretta
Un letto improvvisato e poi
Tra le sue braccia mi si apri un cielo immenso

Coi 18 anni stava li
Che lo rendevano insolente di sicurezza
E si era appena rivestito
Che io sconfitta ritrovai la mia tristezza
Volevo dirgli resta qua
Ma per fermarlo no,n tentai neppure un gesto
M'ha detto mica male sai
Con il candor seuza pietà dell'incoscienza

Ho messo agli occhi un po di blu
Ed i capelli un po più su come ogni giorno
Mi ero scordata per un po
Di aver due volte diciott'anni

Je Suis, Tu Es


Je Suis, Tu Es
Performer(s): The Shorts



Je suis, tu es
I am, you are, she is so lovely
je suis, tu es
I am, you are, she is so heavenly

je suis, tu es
I am, you are, she is so pretty
je suis, tu es
I am, you are, we are in love

she was a very pretty lady
a mistress teaching us in French
she held from Paris, that was charming
when not she really had a chance

when in distract a grey-haired teacher
she taught us while he was away
and so we learned our lessons better
because we fell in love that day

je suis, tu es
I am, you are, she is so lovely
je suis, tu es
I am, you are, she is so heavenly

je suis, tu es
I am, you are, she is so pretty
je suis, tu es
I am, you are, we are in love

when an other teacher taught us
the class became a hopeless mess
so everyone joined in the riot
and no-one tried to do his best

but when the friendly mistress entered
we suddenly behaved like jets
and non of us turned in the chorus
to show our best in speaking French

je suis, tu es
I am, you are, she is so lovely
je suis, tu es
I am, you are, she is so heavenly

je suis, tu es
I am, you are, she is so pretty
je suis, tu es
I am, you are, we are in love

je suis, tu es
I am, you are, she is so lovely
je suis, tu es
I am, you are, she is so heavenly

je suis, tu es
I am, you are, she is so pretty
je suis, tu es
I am, you are, we are in love

je suis, tu es
I am, you are, she is so lovely
je suis, tu es
I am, you are, she is so heavenly

Dicey Reilly


Dicey Reilly (Traditional) Performer(s): The Dubliners and multiple other artists



Poor aul Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup
Poor aul Dicey Reilly she will never give it up
It's off each morning to the pop
And then she's in for another little drop
Ah, the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly

She walks along Fitzgibbon Street with an independent air
And then it's down by Summerhill and as the people stare
She says it's nearly half past one and it's time I had another little one
Ah, the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly

Poor aul Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup
Poor aul Dicey Reilly she will never give it up
It's off each morning to the pop
And then she's in for another little drop
Ah, the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly

Long years ago when men were men and fancied May Oblong
Or lovely Becky Cooper or Maggie's Mary Wong
One woman put them all to shame, just one was worthy of the name
And the name of that dame was Dicey Reilly

Poor aul Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup
Poor aul Dicey Reilly she will never give it up
It's off each morning to the pop
And then she's in for another little drop
Ah, the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly

But time went catching up on her like many pretty whores
It's after you along the street before you're out the door
Their balance vague, their looks all fade, but out of all that great brigade
Still the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly

Poor aul Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup
Poor aul Dicey Reilly she will never give it up
It's off each morning to the pop
And then she's in for another little drop
Ah, the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly

Aqualung


Aqualung
Composer(s): Jennie Anderson - Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull



Sitting on a park bench
eyeing little girls with bad intent
Snot running down his nose
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes
Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run
Feeling like a dead duck
spitting out pieces of his broken luck
Sun streaking cold
an old man wandering lonely
Taking time
the only way he knows
Leg hurting bad
as he bends to pick a dog-end
he goes down to the bog
and warms his feet
Feeling alone
the army's up the rode
salvation \`a la mode and
a cup of tea
Aqualung my friend
don't start away uneasy
you poor old sod, you see, it's only me
Do you still remember
December's foggy freeze
when the ice that
clings on to your beard is
screaming agony
And you snatch your rattling last breaths
with deep-sea-diver sounds
and the flowers bloom like
madness in the spring

Dice Que La Canción


Dice Que La Canción Composer(s): C. Alfonso - Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



¿Dice que la canción va en mi bolsillo?
Barbaridades tiene la ignorancia
Nunca llevo otra cosa que distancia
eco de un sol y un pájaro sencillo

Acaso porté vértigo con brillo
de los que falta por hacer y añoro
Ese es simple, pálido tesoro
que no es metal y menos amarillo

Este asunto no vale de querella
y te voy a curar el desatino
una mujer me ha dado este camino
una mujer de solitaria estrella

Te puedo asegurar que mi destino
sólo es andar en el bolsillo de ella
