The Ascot Gavotte


The Ascot Gavotte
(Dutch Version: Ascot Gavotte)
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe - Lane & Friends
Performer(s): Roger Rees



Ladies and Gentlemen
Ev'ry duke and earl and peer is here
Ev'ryone who should be here is here
What a smashing, positively dashing
Spectacle: the Ascot op'ning day
At the gate are all the horses
Waiting for the cue to fly away
What a gripping, absolutely ripping
Moment at the Ascot op'ning day
Pulses rushing!
Faces flushing!
Heartbeats speed up!
I have never been so keyed up!
And second now
They'll begin to run
Hark!
A bell is ringing
They are springing
Forward Look!
It has begun...!
What a frenzied moment that was!
Didn't they maintain an exhausting pace?
'Twas a thrilling, absolutely chilling
Running of the
Ascot op'ning race

Sancta Maria


Sancta Maria
Performer(s): Jo Vally



Sancta Maria, ik kom tot U
Hier bij het kruis bid ik tot U
Vraag ik om raad, hoop in m'n hart
Want Gij troost menselijke smart

Doe ik soms kwaad als ik bemin
Meer dan het geld is zij me waard
Zij maakt m'n lot zo wonderbaar
O, ik leef alleen voor haar

Vergeef me m'n ontroering
Als zij niet bij me is
Vergeef me m'n vervoering
Als zij in m'n armen ligt
Vergeef Sancta Maria
Dit brandend liefdesvuur
En maak Sancta Maria
Dat het voor altijd duurt

Doe ik soms kwaad als ik bemin
Meer dan het goud is zij me waard
Zij maakt m'n lot zo wonderbaar
O, ik leef alleen voor haar

Vergeef me m'n ontroering
Als zij niet bij me is
Vergeef me m'n vervoering
Als zij in m'n armen ligt
Vergeef Sancta Maria
Dit brandend liefdesvuur
En maak Sancta Maria
Dat het voor altijd duurt

Asa Branca


Asa Branca
Composer(s): Luiz Gonzaga - Humberto Teixeira
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Quando oiei a terra ardendo
Qual fogueira de São João
Eu preguntei a Deus do céu, ai
Por que tamanha judiação

Que braseiro, que fornáia
Nem um pé de prantação
Por falta d'água perdi meu gado
Morreu de sede meu alazão

Inté mesmo a asa-branca bateu asas do sertão
Entonce eu disse, adeus Rosinha
Guarda contigo o meu coração

Hoje, longe muitas léguas
Numa triste solidão
Espero a chuva cair de novo
Pra mim vortá pro meu sertão

Quando o verde dos teus óio
Se espaiá na prantação
Eu te asseguro, não chore não, viu
Que eu vortarei, viu, meu coração...

Do You Know Any Bob Dylan?


Do You Know Any Bob Dylan?
Composer(s): Eric Bogle
Performer(s): Eric Bogle



At the age of nineteen, I was young, I was keen
And I had just one burning ambition
To be a folk singer, a dope-smoking swinger
Singing songs that were steeped in tradition

So I bought a guitar and I practiced real hard
I wasn't much good, but I was willin'
Till to my chagrin, my girlfriend came in
And she said, "Can you sing any Dylan?"

And I said "No, no a thousand times no!
I'd rather see my life blood spillin'
I'll sing anything, even God Save the King
But I just won't sing any Bob Dylan!"

And with my guitar I traveled real far
Trying to gain recognition
I sang "Matty Groves" from St. Paul to Glen Cove
In pubs, clubs, and in seamen's missions

I traveled the road for seven long years
The pace, it really was killin'
And wherever I went from Scotland to Kent
They would say, "Can you sing any Dylan?"

And I said "No, no a thousand times no!
I'd rather see my life blood spillin'
I'll sing anything, even God Save the King
But I just won't sing any Bob Dylan!"

Well I soldiered on but the magic was gone
Leaving naught but a deep sense of failure
So I thought I would go where all failures go
And I took me a ship to Australia

When I landed in Sydney, the sun it shone down
On a view that was lovely and thrilling
But seeing my case, with a smile on his face
Customs said, "Can you sing any Dylan, mate?"

And I said "No, no a thousand times no!
I'd rather see my life blood spillin'
I'll sing anything, even God Save the King
But I just won't sing any Bob Dylan!"

Well ever since then, again and again
They've asked me the same boring question
And I usually reply with a glint in my eye
And a rather indecent suggestion

But the last straw came one night at a local motel
Where I had a young girl who was willin'
Put my hand up her dress, and she said "I'll say yes
If first you will sing me some Dylan"

And I said "No, no a thousand times no!
I'd rather see my life blood spillin'
I'll sing anything, even God Save the King
But I just won't sing any Bob Dylan!"

But I tell you my friend, that was the end
Of all my traditional aspirations
If being a folkie meant giving up nookie
There was one way to end my frustrations

So the very next night at another folk club
Where the audience around me was millin'
I took off my coat and I ruptured my throat
And I sang a song just like Bob Dylan

"Fo-o-o-or the ti-i-i-mes they are a-changi-i-i-ing"

And the audience went wild, man, woman and child
They clapped 'til their poor hands were bleeding
And they said, so to speak, that my style was unique
And just what the folk scene was needing

So all you young folkies who play a guitar
If you want to achieve a top billin'
Just murder good prose and sing through your nose
And then you'll sound just like Bob Dylan

Asa Partida


Asa Partida
Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner - Abel Silva
Raimundo Fagner



Esta saudade
O cigarro
A luz acessa
E a noite posta sobre a mesa
Em cada canto da casa
Asa partida
E dor
Gemido morto
Amor
Tão longe vai
Tão longe vou

Nuvem sem rumo é assim mesmo
Eu não queria
A vida desse jeito
Meu olho armando
Bote sem futuro
Fumaça

E continua
O teu sorriso no meu peito
Essa saudade
O cigarro a luz acessa
E essa noite
Posta sobre a mesa

Em cada canto da casa
Asa partida
E dor
Gemido morto
Amor
Tão longe vai
Tão longe vou...

Do You Hear The People Sing?


Do You Hear The People Sing?
((French Version: À La Volonté Du Peuple (Michel Sardou))
Composer(s): Alain Boublil - James Fenton - Herbert Kretzmer - Claude-Michel Schönberg



Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Courfeyrac:
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France!

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

As You Said


As You Said
Composer(s): Jack Bruce - Brown
Performer(s): Cream



Let's go down to where it's clean
To see what time it might have been
The tides have carries of the beach
As you said
The sun is out of reach
Let's go back to where it's clean
To see what year it might have been
The roads have carried of the smiles
As you said
To judge them at the trails

So let's go back to now that's bad
To see what time we could have had
The rails have carried off the trains
As you said
I'll never come again

Do You Feel My Love?
Composer(s): Eddy Grant
Performer(s): Eddy Grant; Superblue



You left me with a problem
Now I know what it's all about
You took my heart and split it up

Now you know what it's all about
How do you feel my love

Do you feel it as I walked away?
How do you feel my love

Do you feel it as I walked away?

Who knows what kind of pity for
Excuse you from yourself
To just be find the misery
That you put yourself within
How do you feel my love

Need to find myself

Need to cry but still got to show my will
Been used too much

How do you feel my love

Need to find myself

As You Like It


As You Like It
Composer(s): Vandyke
Performer(s): Adam Faith



If you don’t like the kooky way I comb my hair for you
And you don’t like the look of the crazy pants
I wear for you
OK my darling, I’ll change each pitch
I only wanna love you
As you like it

If you don’t like the gang that I go around with
On the town
And you don’t like the records I play
Because they bring you down
OK my darling, I’ll have to quit
I only wanna love you
As you like it

If you’re looking for a saint, dear
Betta warn you that you won’t get far
I’m a man that’s only human
I’m gonna change my ways for you
And love you as you are

‘Cause you don’t realise
That I’m gonna make a fight for you
Just a look from your eyes
And I’d set the world alight for you
OK my darling, and now the fuse is lit
You know I’m gonna love you
As you like it

If you’re looking for a saint, dear
Betta warn you that you won’t get far
I’m a man that’s only human
I’m gonna change my ways for you
And love you as you are

But you don’t realise that I’m gonna make a fight for you
Just a look from your eyes
And I’d set the world alight for you
OK my darling, when the fuse is lit
You know I’m gonna love you
As you like it
As you like it
As you like it

Do You Feel Like We Do


Do You Feel Like We Do Composer(s): Peter Frampton - Mick Gallagher - John Siomos - Rick Wills First release by: Peter Frampton - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists



Woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand
Whose wine, what wine, where the hell did I dine?
Must have been a dream
I don’t believe where I’ve been
Come on - let's do it again
Do you, you feel like I do?
Do you, you feel like I do?
My friend got busted just the other day
They said don’t walk, don’t walk, don’t walk away
He drove into a taxi bent the boot hit the back
Had to play some music otherwise he’d crack
Do you, you feel like I do?
Do you, you feel like I do?

Do you, you feel like I do?
Do you, you feel like I do?
Champagne for breakfast and a sherman in my hand
Black coat, Black tails, never fails
Must have been a dream
I don’t believe where I’ve been
Come on - lets do it again
Do you, you feel like I do?
Do you, you feel like I do?

As We Lay


As We Lay
Performer(s): Dana Harris



It's morning
And we've slept the night away
It happened
Now we can't turn back the hands of time
Yes we've stolen this moment
We've forgot about one simple fact
We both belong to someone else
As we slept the night away

chorus
As we lay
We forgot about tomorrow as we lay
As we lay
Didn't think about the price we had to pay
It's morning
And now it's time for us to say good-bye (good-bye)
(Good-bye, baby) you're leaving me
I know you gotta hurry home and face your wife
I would never never wanna hurt her (never, baby)
She would never ever ever understand
You belong to me for just one night
As we slept the night away

chorus

We should of captured all of our thoughts
But instead we got lost
In the second
In the minute
In the hour (in the hour, baby)

Het Noodlot


Het Noodlot
Performer(s): Zangeres Zonder Naam



Eens was je altijd bij mij
Nu loop jij me voorbij
Alsof je mij niet kende
Het geluk is nu van ons gegaan
Ik zie je weer voor me staan
Waarom moet dit nu zijn
Het leven heeft voor mij geen waarde
Je bleef me toch niet trouw
Je was mijn schat op aarde
Ik hou alleen van jou
Eens was je altijd bij mij
Nu loop jij me voorbij
Waarom moet dit nu zijn

Het noodlot heeft ons van elkander gebracht
Ik sta nu alleen en haat nu de nacht
Jij was voor mij alles, vergeten doe ik niet
Daarom zing ik nu voor jou dit lied

Eens was je altijd bij mij
Nu loop jij me voorbij
Alsof je mij niet kende
Het geluk is nu van ons gegaan
Ik zie je weer voor me staan
Waarom moet dit nu zijn
Het leven heeft voor mij geen waarde
Je bleef me toch niet trouw
Je was mijn schat op aarde
Ik hou alleen van jou
Eens was je altijd bij mij
Nu loop jij me voorbij
Waarom moet dit nu zijn

Eens was je altijd bij mij
Nu loop jij me voorbij
Waarom moet dit nu zijn...

As We Go Along


As We Go Along
Performer(s): The Monkees



I can tell by your face
That you're looking to find a place
To settle your mind
And reveal who you are
And you shouldn't be shy
For I'm not gonna try
To hurt you or heal you or steal your star
Open your eyes
Get up off your chair
There's so much to do in the sunlight
Give up your secrets
Let down your hair
And sit with me here by the firelight
Why think all about
Who's gonna win out
We'll make up our story as we go along
There's so little time
For us to try to rhyme
And so many highways to travel upon
Open your eyes
Get up off your chair
There's so much to do in the sunlight
Give up your secrets and let down your hair
And sit with me here by the firelight

As Vitrines


As Vitrines
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Eu te vejo sair por aí
Te avisei que a cidade era um vão
Dá tua mão
Olha pra mim
Não faz assim
Não vai lá não

Os letreiros a te colorir
Embaraçam a minha visão
Eu te vi suspirar de aflição
E sair da sessão, frouxa de rir

Já te vejo brincando, gostando de ser
Tua sombra a se multiplicar
Nos teus olhos também posso ver
As vitrines te vendo passar

Na galeria
Cada clarão
É como um dia depois de outro dia
Abrindo salão
Passas em exposição
Passas sem ver teu vigia
Catando a poesia
Que entornas no chão

Do You Ever Think Of Me?


Do You Ever Think Of Me? Composer(s): Harry D. Kerr - John Cooper - Earl Burtnett Performer(s): Bing Crosby and multiple other artists



When love in to my dreams was creeping
I gave my heart in to your keeping
It brought the harvest I am reaping
And I always wonder now

When summer twilight's gently falling
I'd love to know if you're recalling
Your tender words to me enthralling
And my heart is wond'ring still

When you have another's arms about you
Do you ever think of me
When you whisper "I can't live without you"
Do you ever think of me
And when your eyes disguise the same old loving lies
You tell so tenderly
Deep in your heart unfeeling
When some heart you're stealing
do you ever think of me

As Varias Pontas De Uma Estrela
Performer(s): Caetano Veloso



Estre la de cinco pontas
Cinco es trelas no cru zeiro
Trilhoes de estrelas no ceu
Tres pontas
Mil coracoes
E o menino brasileiro

Com os olhos duas contas
Atravessa o imenso veu
De brilhos e escuridoes

Que Deus segue esse menino
Que Deuses o seguirao
Meu verso de sete patas
Notas desta melodia
Que me ensina essa li cao
Quem me explica esse des
Que gri to dentro das matas
A gora res ponde ria

Nao sei mas an do com e .. ..le
As vezes vo amos jun .. tos
Pedras super preci .. osas
De aves nas al turas ton... tas

Tocamos varios assuntos
As vezes roco-lhe a pele
Que somos estrelas rosas
Tres, quatro, cinco mil pontas
Pon...tas, pontas, pontas ...

Ramona
Composer(s): Mabel Wayne; L. Wolfe Gilbert
Performer(s): The Blue Diamonds



Ramona, zum Abschied sag ich dir goodbye
Ramona, ein Jahr geht doch so schnell vorbei
verzag nicht und frag nicht
denn in Gedanken bin ich bei dir
bei Tag bringt die Sonne
bei Nacht der Mond die Grüße von mir

Ramona, denk jeden Tag einmal daran
Ramona, dass nichts vergeht, was so begann
nach einem Jahr steh ich mit Blumen vor der Tür
Ramona dann bleib ich bei dir

Ramona, zum Abschied sag ich dir goodbye
Ramona, ein Jahr geht doch so schnell vorbei
verzag nicht und frag nicht

bei Nacht der Mond die Grüße von mir

Ramona, denk jeden Tag einmal daran
Ramona, dass nichts vergeht, was so begann
nach einem Jahr steh ich mit Blumen vor der Tür
Ramona dann bleib ich bei dir

As Usual


As Usual
Composer(s): Alex Zanetis
Performer(s): Brenda Lee



The sun comes up and brings the dawn
As usual
When I awake I'll find you gone
As usual

But I can't find a way to let
This crazy heart of mine forget
I pretend you're still beside me
As usual

Each evening I take a walk
As usual
I make believe that we still talk
As usual

People always stop and stare
I guess they just don't see you there
Don't they know you'll always be right here
As usual

Today I looked into my mirror
As usual

(I told myself that you're still here
As usual)

And as I stood there telling lies
The tears began to fill my eyes
'Cause I know I'm only fooling myself
As usual

Do You Believe This Town


Do You Believe This Town Composer(s): Joseph Nixon - Charles Williams Performer(s): Dean Martin



The woman next door has gone to the PTA
And stopped to see her best friend's husband on the way
The folks down the street have a different thing
So everyone is putting them down
Do you believe this town?

Deacon Jones preaches brotherly love every Sunday
And forecloses loans on widow's homes every Monday
But the smart guys say it's the only way
To keep the economy sound
Do you believe this town?

Do you believe they voted this town dry?
Well you won't believe it when I tell you why
The mayor and his cousin and the chief of police
have the bootlegging all nailed down
Do you believe this town?

Do you believe they burned a house down yesterday
You won't believe the reason that they gave
If the folks who lived there had a known their place
They could still be hanging around
Do you believe this town?

Do you believe this town?
