Le Temps Qui Passe


Le Temps Qui Passe ((aka Privé D'amour (by Christophe) - 1983)
((Adapted from: As Time Goes By (by Frances Williams) - 1931))
Composer(s): Herman Hupfield - Boris Bergman
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1986



Faudrait pas qu't'oublies
Une nuit c'est pour une nuit
Fini veut dire fini
C'est comme ça, que veux-tu que j'y fasse
C'est l'temps qui passe
Fauché ou les poches pleines
On s'dit toujours je t'aime
Ça sera toujours comme ça
La dessus tu ne peux pas faire l'impasse
C'est le temps qui passe
Les violons sous la lune
Oui ça marche encore
J'me grille une autre brune
Tu vois j'fais un effort
L'homme pour la femme
Ça se joue à pile et face
C'est chaque chose à sa place
C'est toujours la même histoire
Ça parle d'amour de gloire
A la vie à la mort
Ça colle et puis un jour ça s'casse
C'est le temps qui passe
C'est toujours le même vieux truc
Princesse, palace en stuc
Amour, impaire et passe
C'est beau mais voilà ça s'efface
C'est le temps qui passe
Les violons sous la lune
Oui ça marche encore
J'me grille une autre brune
Tu vois j'fais un effort
L'homme pour la femme
Ça se joue à pile et face
C'est chaque chose à sa place
Faudrait pas qu'tu oublies
Une nuit c'est pour une nuit
Fini veut dire fini
C'est comme ça, que veux-tu que j'y fasse
C'est l'temps qui passe

Do You Believe In Magic?


Do You Believe In Magic? ((Japanese Version: Do You Believe in Magic (Arcorhyme) - 2008)) Composer(s): John Sebastian First release by: The Lovin' Spoonful - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists



Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart
How the music can free her, whenever it starts
And it's magic, if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie
I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul
But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll

If you believe in magic don't bother to choose
If it's jug band music or rhythm and blues
Just go and listen it'll start with a smile
It won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try
Your feet start tapping and you can't seem to find
How you got there, so just blow your mind

If you believe in magic, come along with me
We'll dance until morning 'til there's just you and me
And maybe, if the music is right
I'll meet you tomorrow, sort of late at night
And we'll go dancing, baby, then you'll see
How the magic's in the music and the music's in me

Yeah, do you believe in magic
Yeah, believe in the magic of a young girl's soul
Believe in the magic of rock and roll
Believe in the magic that can set you free
Ohh, talking 'bout magic

Do you believe like I believe Do you believe in magic
Do you believe like I believe Do you believe, believer
Do you believe like I believe Do you believe in magic

As The Years Go By


As The Years Go By
Performer(s): Mashmakhan



A child asks his mother do you love me
And it really means will you protect me
His mother answers him I love you
And it really means
You've been a good boy
And as the years go by
True love will never die

At seventeen a girl says do you love me
And it really means will you respect me
The teenage boy answers I love you
And it really means
Can I make love to you
And as the years go by
True love will never die

I will love you forever
I will love you forever

At sixty five his wife says
Do you love me
And it means I'd like to hear it again
Her husband says to her I love you
But it really means I love you till the end
And as the years go by
True love will never die

Now you're asking me if I love you
And it really means will I marry you
And I answer yes I love you
But it really means that I won't be untrue
And as the years go by
True love will never die

I will love you forever
I will love you forever

Do You Believe In Love


Do You Believe In Love
Composer(s): Robert John "Mutt" Lange
Performer(s): Huey Lewis & The News



I was walking down a one way street
Just a looking for someone to meet
One woman who was looking for a man
Now I'm hoping that the feeling is right
And I'm wondering if you'll stay for the night
So I'm coming (I don't wanna be lonely)
I wanna love you all over

Do you believe in love
Do you believe it's true
Do you believe in love
Oh you can bet I believe it too

Now the feeling is beginning to grow
And the meaning is something you only know
If you believe it take my hand and I'll take your heart
Now I'm wondering where does true love begin
I'm going under so I'm lettin' you in
My woman (I don't wanna be lonely)
I wanna love you all over

Do you believe in love
Do you believe it' true
Do you believe in love
Oh you can bet I believe it too

I used to have you in a photograph
(I'm so glad it's changed)
But now I've got you and it's gonna last
(Do you believe in love)

Do you believe in love
Do you believe it' true
Do you believe in love
Oh you can bet I believe it too

As The World Turns


As The World Turns
Performer(s): Bryan Ferry



There's a place in my heart
All broken and still
Where I may wander alone
At the end of the day
As the world turns
I turn to thoughts of home
Though you're far away I imagine
How you would smile at this romance
And sure enough
As the world turns
And so to games of chance
Take my part in this play
You're dealing me words I never could use
That strange beginning has no ending
When curtain falls we both lose
Though we're far apart on this old carousel
The ups and downs we share
Just remember surely as the world turns
In dreams I will be there by your side

Pum, catapum, pum, pum, ¡cómo nos gusta el verano!

Ir a la playa solos para tranquilos
Y si no vamos solos vamos con todos los amigos

Nos gusta ver muchos barcos, ver mucha gente contenta
Y ver a la viejecita sentadita en su puerta

Pum, catapum, pum, pum, por fin ya viene el buen tiempo
Pum, catapum, pum, pum, ya se quitó el frío viento

Todos ya y también , y todos ya siempre, siempre contentos

As The World Falls Down


As The World Falls Down
Composer(s): David Bowie
First release by: David Bowie - 1986



There's such a sad love
Deep in your eyes, a kind of pale jewel
Open and closed within your eyes
I'll place the sky within your eyes

There's such a fooled heart
Beating so fast in search of new dreams
A love that will last within your heart
I'll place the moon within your heart

As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill has gonst
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you-oo-oo
As the world falls down

Falling
(As the world) Falling down
Falling in love

I'll paint you mornings of gold
I'll spin you Valentine evenings
Though we're strangers till now
We're choosing the path between the stars
I'll leave my love between the stars

As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill has gonst
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you-oo-oo
As the world falls down

Falling
(As the world) Falling down
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
As the world falls down

As The Sun Still Burns Away


As The Sun Still Burns Away
Composer(s): Alvin Lee
Performer(s): Ten Years After



A thousand cities in the night
Each one waiting for the light
Ten million people plan their day
As the sun still burns away

As the earth just spins in space
People plan their daily race
As the sun still burns away
Few say "thank you for the day"
All the people in their ties
Forget to look up at the sky
They exist another day
As the sun still burns away

I wonder just how long we’ll last
When the final die is cast
Every day brings forth the time
When the sun forgets to shine

Do What You Wanna Do


Do What You Wanna Do Composer(s): John Latouche - Vernon Duke Performer(s): Diahann Carroll



Do what you wanna do
It's your life and brother it's up to you

Say what you wanna say
Speak your piece and trouble will fly away

Go on and live like a crazy elf
Put your inhibitions up on the shelf

You're sure to be what you wanna be
If you're free to do what you wanna do

As The Raven Flies


As The Raven Flies
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg



I see the raven's made
Her nest in your eyes
She's got you thinking that
Her love is a prize
And you'll go under from
The weight of her lies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies

She'll bring you stories
That just never sound true
She'll bring you secrets
That were never meant for you
And just as you come round
She'll send you back through
She's in love with you
She's in love with you

Darker, darker
Don't let her talk her way
Into you.
Lonely, lonely
You know she's only
No good for you

I see the raven's made
Her nest in your eyes
She's got you thinking that
Her love is a prize
And you'll go under from
The weight of her lies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies

As The Night Goes By


As The Night Goes By
Performer(s): Patti Smith



Darlin' come under cover
Another night to discover
Let's slip where senses gather
Let's drift between the sea and sky
As the night goes by

Sands shift
Orchids so strange
In the moonlight
Brushing our faces
Places where love blooms
And dies
While the night goes by
Oh, and the spirits call
Sun upon your shadows fall
Tracing every breath we draw

Come into my dreams
Come into my dreams
Darlin' let's go where the night goes
Let's drift where senses gather
Let's make this night last forever
Into my dreams
Into my dreams

Darlin' let's go
Where the night goes
Time slips
Oh darlin' how it flies
When the night goes by

All through the night
Sirens call
Come to me
I'll come to you
As the night softly
goes by bye

Midnight
Moon on our shoulder
Daybreak
Another one older
Darlin' heavenly blue
Glories fade into view

Let's go
Under the stars
That are beating
Under the moonlight
Stars shoot
Dusk just a whisper
Make this night
Last forever
Oh how I wonder
Where the night goes
Oh Let's wonder
Where the night goes
As the night goes
By bye
By Bye

Do What You Do, Do Well


Do What You Do, Do Well Composer(s): Ned Miller First release by: Ned Miller - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists

Versions In Other Languages: 1965 - Gør Hvad Du Kan (Gustav Winckler) 1966 - Prends La Vie Comme Elle Vient (Sheila)



He couldn’t move a mountain
Or pull down a big oak tree
But my Daddy became a mighty big man
With this simple philosophy

Do what you do, do well, boy
Do what you do, do well
Give your love and all of your heart
And do what you do, do well

Sometimes he’d kiss my mother
And hold her tenderly
Then he’d look across the top of her head
Then he’d wink and say to me

Do what you do, do well, boy
Do what you do, do well
Give your love and all of your heart
And do what you do, do well

Well he was a man of laughter
But a tragedy came by
The tears ran free and he’d say to me
Never be afraid to cry

Do what you do, do well, boy
Do what you do, do well
Give your love and all of your heart
And do what you do, do well

Today I still remember just like yesterday
About a mighty big man
With a mighty big heart
And a mighty few words to say

Do what you do, do well, boy
Do what you do, do well
Give your love and all of your heart
And do what you do, do well

As the crow flies baby

As the crow flies baby
Well, I ain't so far from you
But since I don't have wings

Um um um hoo

As the crow flies baby
Well, I ain't so far from you
As the crow flies baby
Well, I ain't so far from you
But since I don't have wings

Where I heard you call my name
In a dream last night
Where I heard you call my name
Well, I took it as an omen
And I jumped on the very first freight train

Yeah..... as the crow flies

Well, you don't know baby
How I miss your sweet caress
Well, you don't know baby
How I miss your sweet caress
When I'm in your lovin' arms

As the crow flies baby
That's how I'm on my way
As the crow flies baby
I'm on my way

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

If I don't stop runnin'
I can get home for the break of day
Get home for the break of day
Get home for the break of day
Get home for the break of day
Get home for the break of day
Get home for the break of day
Get home for the break of day
Get home for the break of day

Do What You Do


Do What You Do Composer(s): Larry DiTomaso - R. Palladino Performer(s): Jermaine Jackson



Why don't you do what you do
When you did what you did to me
Love was so good, that it fills up all my needs
I was crazy for you, you were crazy for me
How could something so right, go so wrong
My love, sweet love
Why don't you say what you say
When you say what you said anymore
Your eyes couldn't lie, so long goodbye, close the door
I was crazy for you, you were crazy for me
How could something so right go so wrong
Tell me something I didn't do
Why did someone else put you through
Did they steal you away like a thief in the night
Love like wings, must take flight
Why don't they play what they played
On the nights you danced with me
Remember the one we made love to endlessly
I was crazy for you, you were crazy for me
How could something so right go so wrong

As Tears Go By


As Tears Go By
((Danish Version: Se Ud På Børnene (by Bamses Venner) - 1977))
Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Andrew Loog Oldham - Keith Richards
First release by: Marianne Faithfull - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me
I sit and watch
As tears go by

My riches can't buy everything
I want to hear the children sing
All I hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground
I sit and watch
As tears go by

It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Doing things I used to do
They think are new
I sit and watch
As tears go by

Hoelang Zou 'T Duren?


Hoelang Zou 'T Duren?
Performer(s): Cees & Marjan



Voordat ik ga slapen zeg ik jou goedenacht, slaap maar gauw
In het donker zie ik zonder licht heel dichtbij jouw gezicht
Heerlijk om te doen alsof je hier bent, laat me nog eens strelen door je haar
Ook al ben je mijlenver van mij, in gedachten ben je heel dichtbij

Hoelang zal het duren voor ik jou weer zie
Om te tijd te doden zing ik deze melodie
Hoelang zal het duren voor je bij me bent
'k Zie je nog steeds voor me zoals ik je heb gekend

'k Houd van jou een foto in m'n hand uit een ver en vreemd land
Lachend kijk je mij in stilte aan en ik denk: hoe zal het gaan
Kon ik nu je stem nog maar eens horen, woorden die ik nimmer meer vergeet
Al je brieven lees ik nog eens door en 't is net alsof ik jou weer hoor

Hoelang zal het duren voor ik jou weer zie
Om te tijd te doden zing ik deze melodie
Hoelang zal het duren voor je bij me bent
'k Zie je nog steeds voor me zoals ik je heb gekend

As 'T Efkes Kan, Ja Dan


As 'T Efkes Kan, Ja Dan
((English Version: With A Little Bit Of Luck (by Stanley Holloway, Gordon Dilworth, Rod McLennan))
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe



Doolittle:
Ons Lieve Heer heeft man en vrouw geschapen
De een is zwak en de andere is sterk
De Lieve Heer heeft zwak en sterk geschapen - dus ...
as dat efkes kan, ja dan
as dat efkes kan, ja dan
doen de vrouwen al het zware werk!

Alle drie:
As 't efkes kan ... as 't efkes kan
As 't efkes kan doen anderen ons werk!

Doolittle:
De sterke drank moest feitelijk verdwijnen
weg de café's waar da ge'n borrel kreeg
De sterke drank moest feitelijk verdwijnen - dus
as 't efkes kan, ja dan
as 't efkes kan, ja dan
zuip ik heel alleen die flessen leeg!

Alle drie:
as 't efkes kan ... as 't efkes kan
as 't efkes kan ... ja dan
zuip ik alles leeg!

Doolittle:
G'hebt as ne man zoveel misère
Dus as het efkes kan
dan profiteer 'k ervan
't zwakke geslacht, dat denkt direkt aan trouwen
ik vraag me af waarom moetda zo vlug
't zwakke geslacht dat denkt direkt aan trouwen
dus as 't efkes kan, ja dan
as 't efkes kan, ja dan
trekt den deze zich op tijd terug

Alle drie:
as 't efkes kan ... as 't efkes kan
as 't efkes kan, dan trek ik hem terug
as 't efkes kan ... as 't efkes kan ...
as 't efkes, efkes, efkes kan!

Doolittle:
Ne mens houdt rekening met zijnen evenaaste
dat is en blijft een ongeschonden wet
Ja, ne mens houdt rekening met zijnen evenaaste ... - dus!
As 't efkes kan, ja dan
As 't efkes kan, ja dan
roep ik al die kloten uit hun bed

James en Harry:
As 't efkes kan ... as 't efkes kan
As 't efkes kan het volgende couplet!

Doolittle:
Ze maken soep voor d'arme mensen
dus as 't efkes kan
dan vreet ik er niet van!
ge moogt uw vrouw nie bedriegen met een ander
met al die kinderen is ze nooit nie vrij
ge moogt uw vrouw nooit bedriegen met een ander - dus
as 't efkes kan, ja dan
as 't efkes kan, ja dan
zorgde da'ze niets in 't snuitje krijgt

Alle drie:
As 't efkes kan ... as 't efkes kan ...
As 't efkes kan, een schatje nog d'r bij
As 't efkes kan ... as 't efkes kan ...
As 't efkes, efkes, efkes kan


----------


Herhaling:


Doolittle:
Ge moet as vader zorgen voor uw dochter
die ge met liefde in haar bedje stopt
ge moet as vader zorgen voor uw dochter ... dus
as 't efkes kan, ja dan
as 't efkes kan, ja dan
zorgde dat ze met een andere slaapt

As 't efkes kan, ... as 't efkes kan
as 't efkes kan, heeft zij het ver geschopt
Hij zit altijd bedolven onder schulden
en de belasting heeft hem in de schaar
en hij verzuipt zijn allerlaatste gulden ... dus
as 't efkes kan, ja dan
as 't efkes kan, ja dan
wordt hem graag een beetje miljonair!

As 't efkes kan ... as 't efkes kan ...
As 't efkes kan een beetje miljonair!
As 't efkes kan ... as 't efkes kan ...
As 't efkes, efkes, efkes kan

Do What I Have To Do


Do What I Have To Do Composer(s): Phil Ochs Performer(s): Phil Ochs; Exene Cervenka



All around this country, trouble in the air
And I hear the voices calling me
Asking do you know and do you care?
Do you know and do you care?

So I’m a-gonna do what I have to do
Say what I have to say
And I’m gonna be what I have to be
Now won’t you come on along with me?
Won’t you come along with me?

Don’t want to cause no sorrow
Don’t want to cause no pain
I’m only gonna cause what I have to cause
Until this land is free of shame
’til this land is free of shame

So I’m a-gonna do what I have to do
Say what I have to say
And I’m gonna be what I have to be
Now won’t you come on along with me?
Won’t you come along with me?

Only one thing I know, I know we’re not alone
Was a million here before we came
Be a million when we’re gone, we’re gone
Million when we’re gone

So I’m a-gonna do what I have to do
Say what I have to say
And I’m gonna be what I have to be
Now won’t you come on along with me?
Won’t you come along with me?

Oh, I’m afraid of trouble, yes I’m afraid of jail
But I’m more afraid, lord, not to try
More afraid of what happens, now, if we fail
What happens now if we fail

So I’m a-gonna do what I have to do
Say what I have to say
And I’m gonna be what I have to be
Now won’t you come on along with me?
Won’t you come along with me?
