Avant De T'aimer


Avant De T'aimer
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Avant de t'aimer je croyais que les femmes étaient des églises
Comme aux quatre coins de Venise et qu'on pouvait les visiter
Avant de t'aimer je disais qu'elles n'étaient que gourmandise
Comme le sont les friandises et qu'on pouvait les partager

Avant de t'aimer je croyais que les femmes étaient des chapelles
Enfermées dans les citadelles offertes au voeu de chasteté
Avant de t'aimer je pensais que les femmes étaient sans cervelle
Qu'elles n'étaient que des modèles pour un pinceau pour un maillet

Avant de t'aimer je croyais que les femmes étaient des paroisses
Appartenant au garde-chasse qui piège et bague son gibier
Avant de t'aimer je doutais des femmes et de ce qu'elles apportent
Quand elles referment la porte sans un regard sans un regret

Mais aujourd'hui femmes je sais que vous êtes des cathédrales
Femmes fourmis femmes cigales femmes faites pour être aimer
Femme espérance soit louée toi que j'imaginais naïve
Tu m'as sauvé de la dérive des larmes où mon coeur se noyait

Avant de t'aimer je croyais que les femmes étaient des églises
Comme aux quatre coins de Venise et qu'on pouvait les visiter
Mais c'était avant de t'aimer c'était bien avant de t'aimer

Don't Go Out Into The Rain (You're Gonna Melt)


Don't Go Out Into The Rain (You're Gonna Melt) Composer(s): Kenny Young Performer(s): Herman's Hermits; David Garrick; The Swinging Blue Jeans



Don't go out in the rain you're gonna melt, sugar
Oh no come and sit down near the fire for a spell, sugar
Oh woe please take your shoes off and make yourself comfortable
The weather's miserable and you're so kissable
(It's getting late) why don't you wait
(It's after one) we've just begun
Please take your shoes off and make yourself comfortable
The weather's miserable and you're so kissable

The house is ours now that everybody's gone
And while the telly's on we could be having fun
It's getting late, why don't you wait
(It's after one) we've just begun
(I've gotta go) no, no, no, no
Don't be insane, don't go, please don't go
Don't go
It's getting late, why don't you wait
(It's after one) we've just begun
(I've gotta go) no, no, no, no
Please don't wait

Faisons l'amour avant de nous dire adieu
Avant de nous dire adieu
Faisons l'amour puisque c'est fini nous deux
Puisque c'est fini nous deux
Faisons l'amour comme si c'était la première fois
Encore une fois toi et moi puisque l'amour s'en va

Faisons l'amour avant de nous dire adieu
Avant de nous dire adieu
Faisons l'amour puisque c'est fini nous deux
Puisque c'est fini nous deux
Faisons l'amour comme si c'était la première fois
Encore une fois toi et moi puisque l'amour s'en va

Je peux tout te pardonner
Et faire semblant d'oublier
Je veux bien fermer les yeux
Et faire tout ce que tu veux
Je veux bien te partager
Et ne veux te supplier
Mais reste encore
Je me ferai si petite
Que tu ne me verras pas
Et je me ferai si tendre
Que demain tu m'aimeras
Je serai toute d'amour
Et je serai toute à toi
Mais reste encore

Faisons l'amour avant de nous dire adieu
Faisons l'amour puisque c'est fini nous deux
Faisons l'amour comme si c'était la première fois
Encore une fois toi et moi puisque l'amour s'en va

Faisons l'amour avant de nous dire adieu
Avant de nous dire adieu
Faisons l'amour puisque c'est fini nous deux
Puisque c'est fini nous deux
Faisons l'amour comme si c'était la première fois
Encore une fois toi et moi puisque l'amour s'en va

Adieu

Don't Go Near The Water


Don't Go Near The Water Composer(s): Alan Jardine - Mike Love Performer(s): The Beach Boys and multiple other artists



Don't go near the water
Don't you think it's sad
What's happened to the water
Our water's going bad

Oceans, rivers, lakes and streams
Have all been touched by man
The poison floating out to sea
Now threatens life on land

Don't go near the water
Ain't it sad
What's happened to the water
It's going bad

Don't go near the water
Don't go near the water

Toothpaste and soap will make our oceans a bubble bath
So let's avoid an ecological aftermath
Beginning with me
Beginning with you

Don't go near the water
To do it any wrong
To be cool with the water
Is the message of this song

Let's all help the water
Right away
Do what we can and ought to
Let's start today

Blijf Nog 1 Nacht


Blijf Nog 1 Nacht
((Adapted from: Avant De Nous Dire Adieu (by Jeane Manson) - 1976))
Composer(s): Michel Mallory - Jean Renard - Jo De Clercq
Performer(s): Wendy Van Wanten - 1995



Blijf nog één nacht
Voordat je mij alleen laat
Voor je mij voorgoed alleen laat

Blijf nog één nacht
Voordat je van me weggaat
Voor je echt van mij weggaat

Blijf nog één nacht
Als was het weer de eerste keer, de laatste keer
Nog één keer en dan daarna nooit meer

Blijf nog één nacht
Voordat je mij alleen laat
Voor je mij voorgoed alleen laat

Blijf nog één nacht
Voordat je van me weggaat
Voor je echt van mij weggaat

Blijf nog één nacht
Als was het weer de eerste keer, de laatste keer
Nog één keer en dan daarna nooit meer

Geef je nog één keer aan mij
Zoals een man aan een vrouw
Dan is 't voor altijd voorbij
Hoeveel ik ook van je hou

Ik zal heel lief voor je zijn
En alles doen wat je wil
Maar blijf bij mij

Ik heb met liefde gedaan
Al wat een meisje kan doen
Als er iets fout is gegaan
Dan wil ik alles herdoen

Jij die me ooit zo graag zag
Nee, ga niet weg deze nacht
Maar blijf bij mij

Blijf nog één nacht
Voordat je mij alleen laat
Blijf nog één nacht
Voordat je van me weggaat

Blijf nog één nacht
Als was het weer de eerste keer, de laatste keer
Nog één keer en dan daarna nooit meer

Blijf nog één nacht
Voordat je mij alleen laat
Voor je mij voorgoed alleen laat

Blijf nog één nacht
Voordat je van me weggaat
Voor je echt van mij weggaat

Blijf nog één nacht
Als was het weer de eerste keer, de laatste keer
Nog één keer en dan daarna nooit meer
En dan daarna nooit meer
En dan daarna nooit meer

Don't Go Breaking My Heart


Don't Go Breaking My Heart Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin First release by: Elton John & Kiki Dee - 1976 Covered by multiple other artists



Don't go breaking my heart
I couldn't if I tried
Honey if I get restless
Baby you're not that kind

Don't go breaking my heart
You take the weight off me
Honey when you knock on my door
I gave you my key

Nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your clown
Nobody knows it
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
I gave you my heart

So don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart

And nobody told us
`Cause nobody showed us
And now it's up to us babe
I think we can make it

So don't misunderstand me
You put the light in my life
You put the sparks to the flame
I've got your heart in my sights

Avant


Avant
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Avant
Je posais ma tête au creux de tes mains
Comme un enfant je n'avais peur de rien
Quand mon corps épuisé s'abandonnais
Au creux du lit où nos vies commençaient

Avant
Moi aussi, je caressais tes cheveux
Et mes lèvres savaient fermer tes yeux
Et je pouvais te regarder dormir
Sans jamais me lasser de ton sourire

Avant
Je savais te faire crier de joie
Et je trouvais les mots qui te brûlaient
Et c'était tout ton corps qui m'appelait
Quand tu m'aimais mais c'était avant

Avant
Tout était beau lorsque tu étais là
Ces champs de blé où nous tombions parfois
Avec le soleil qui éclaboussait
Ta robe blanche qui dansait

Maintenant
Je sais ce que c'est que d'avoir très mal
Mal à ne plus savoir comment pleurer
Comment vivre et sans savoir où aller
Maintenant que l'amour est au passé

Avant
Je savais te faire crier de joie
Et je trouvais les mots qui te brûlaient
Et c'était tout ton corps qui m'appelait
Quand tu m'aimais mais c'était avant

Avant
Tout était beau lorsque tu étais là
Ces champs de blé où nous tombions parfois
Avec le soleil qui éclaboussait
Ta robe blanche qui dansait...

Shipmates, stand together
Don't give up the ship

Carry on and quit your kickin'
Don't give up the ship

Avalon Hideaway


Avalon Hideaway
Composer(s): Frank Beard - Billy Gibbons - Dusty Hill
Performer(s): ZZ Top



Somebody breathin' down my neck
While I'm tryin' to roll the bones
I don't care I'll just float a check
'Cause I'm feelin' my gamblin' Jones
Here come seven, gimme eleven come again
Love to hideout where I am my own best friend

There's crazy little Linda Lou
With the long and lanky legs
Nobody do it like Linda do
At these backwoods lone star dregs
Like I told you, head out FM 92
Roll in slowly, you'll be safer if you do

If you don't know what I'm talkin' about
Let me ease your worried mind
It's the place to go without a doubt
But it's a little bit hard to find
Back in the timber, once you're there
You'll wanna stay
Get loose and limber anytime night or day
Just remember, ask for the Avalon hideaway

Don't Give Up On Us


Don't Give Up On Us Composer(s): Tony Macaulay First release by: David Soul - 1977 Covered by multiple other artists



Don't give up on us, baby
Don't make the wrong seem right
The future isn't just one night
It's written in the moonlight
Painted on the stars
We can't change ours

Don't give up on us, baby
We're still worth one more try
I know we put a last one by
Just for a rainy evening
When maybe stars are few
Don't give up on us, I know
We can still come through

I really lost my head last night
You've got a right to start believin'
There's still a little love left, even so

Don't give up on us, baby
Lord knows we've come this far
Can't we stay the way we are?
The angel and the dreamer
Who sometimes plays a fool
Don't give up on us, I know
We can still come through

It's written in the moonlight
Painted on the stars
We can't change ours

Don't give up on us, baby
We're still worth one more try
I know we put a last one by
Just for a rainy evening
When maybe stars are few
Don't give up on us, I know
We can still come through

Don't give up on us, baby
Don't give up on us, baby

Avalon Blues


Avalon Blues
Composer(s): Mississippi John Hurt
Performer(s): Mississippi John Hurt; Bill Morrissey



Got to New York this mornin', just about half-past nine
Got to New York this mornin', just about half-past nine
Hollerin' one mornin' in Avalon, couldn't hardly keep from cryin'

Avalon is my hometown, always on my mind
Avalon is my hometown, always on my mind
Pretty mama's in Avalon want me there all the time

When the train left Avalon, throwin' kisses and wavin' at me
When the train left Avalon, throwin' kisses and wavin' at me
Says, "Come back, daddy, and stay right here with me"

Avalon's a small town, have no great big range
Avalon's a small town, have no great big range
Pretty mama's in Avalon, they sure will spend your change

New York's a good town, but it's not for mine
New York's a good town, but it's not for mine
Goin' back to Avalon, near where I have a pretty mama all the time

Don't Give Up (Petula Clark)


Don't Give Up Composer(s): Tony Hatch - Jackie Trent Performer(s): Petula Clark



When love seems to get you down
When you can't turn around and run
You've got to stop and face the fact
That the heartaches have just begun
Because you need love, you need love
Keep on till you know what you've won, yeah!

Don't give up, don't let it get you down
Don't give up, don't think of leaving town
Don't give up, don't run away from it
Love will be yours in the end, my friend

When someone is on your mind
And you can't find the words to say
Don't put off until tomorrow, my friend
What you know you've gotta do today
Because you need love, you need love
And in time you'll discover the way, yeah!

Don't give up, don't let it get you down
Don't give up, don't think of leaving town
Don't give up, don't run away from it
Love will be yours in the end, my friend
You know you need love, you need love
Keep on till you know what you've won, yeah!

Now don't give up, don't let it get you down
Don't give up, don't think of leaving town
Don't give up, don't run away from it
Love will be yours in the end, my friend

Now don't give up, don't let it get you down
Don't give up, don't think of leaving town
Don't give up, don't run away from it
Love will be yours in the end, my friend

Now don't give up.................

Avalon


Avalon
((Adapted from: E Lucean Le Stelle (by Enrico Caruso) - 1902))
Composer(s): Giacomo Puccini - Luigi Illica - Giuseppe Giacosa - B.G. DeSylva - Al Jolson - Vincent Rose
Performer(s): Al Jolson - 1920
and multiple other artists



I found my love in Avalon
Beside the bay
I left my love in Avalon
And I sailed away
I dream of her in Avalon
From dusk till dawn
So I think I'll travel on
To Avalon

Every morn' my memories stray
Across the sea where flying fishes play
And as the night is falling
I find that I'm recalling
That blissful all-enthralling day

Beside the bay
And I sailed away
I dream of her in Avalon
From dusk till dawn
So I think I'll travel on
To Avalon

Don't Give Up (Peter Gabriel)


Don't Give Up Composer(s): Peter Gabriel First release by: Peter Gabriel - 1986 Covered by multiple other artists



In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight
Taught to win
I never thought I could fail

No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face
I've changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose

Don't give up
'Cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
I know you can make it good

Though I saw it all around
Never thought that I could be affected
Thought that we'd be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn

Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground

Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up
We don't need much of anything
Don't give up
'Cause somewhere there's a place where we belong

Rest your head
You worry too much
It's going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Don't give up
Please don't give up

Got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river's flowing
That river's flowing

Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs

Don't give up
'Cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not the only one
Don't give up
No reason to be ashamed
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up now
We're proud of who you are
Don't give up
You know it's never been easy
Don't give up
'Cause I believe there's a place
There's a place where we belong

Aux yeux de l'univers
Je suis un grain de sable
Oui je sais

Oui aux yeux de ton Amour
Oui aux yeux de ton Amour
Je suis le plus fort...

Qui va vivre te mourir
Aux yeux de l'univers
Je me sens quelquefois écrasé
Face à mon avenir
Mais à tes yeux, oh mon Amour
Je suis un héros pour toi
Quand je vois
Le danger
Pour te protéger
Oui aux yeux de ton Amour
Oui aux yeux de ton Amour
Oui aux yeux de ton Amour
Je suis le plus fort...

Don't Give In To Him


Don't Give In To Him Composer(s): Gary Usher Performer(s): Gary Puckett & The Union Gap; The Ventures



It starts out with a kiss
Even though you're only friends
Now there's nothing wrong with this
But this is where his act begins

He'll hold you and tell you
That's what love is for
Oh but don't give in to him
No, no don't give in to him
Cause he will only ask for more

You don't want to lose him
So you let him have his way
You don't dare refuse him
Because you know the price you'll pay
He's braggin' that he's never lost before
So don't give in to him
No, no don't give in to him
Cause he will only ask for more

Baby, don't give in to him
No, no don't give in to him
Cause I'm the one who loves you more...

Looking Through The Eyes Of Love


Looking Through The Eyes Of Love
((French Version: Aux Yeux De Ton Amour (by Eddy Mitchell) - 1965))
Composer(s): Barry Mann - Cynthia Weil
First release by: Gene Pitney - 1965



In the eyes of the world I’m a loser just wastin’ my time
I can’t make a dime
In the eyes of the world being born was my first big mistake
I can’t get a break
But in the eyes of my woman I stand
Like a hero, a giant, a man who’s as tall as can be
Any fool can see

That she’s lookin’ through the eyes of love (lookin’ through the eyes of love)
Lookin’ through the eyes of love (lookin’ through the eyes of love)
Lookin’ through the eyes of love when she looks at me-ee

In the eyes of the crowd I’m a do-nothin’ kind of a guy
Who’ll just live and die
In the eyes of the crowd I’m another poor Joe on the street
Can’t get on my feet
But in the eyes of my woman they’re wrong
I’m a king and a lover as strong and as brave as can be
Any fool can see

That she’s lookin’ through the eyes of love (lookin’ through the eyes of love)
Lookin’ through the eyes of love (lookin’ through the eyes of love)
Lookin’ through the eyes of love when she looks at me-ee

She’s making me believe someday
Someday I’m gonna find a way
To be the man that she can see
When she looks at me (lookin’ through the eyes of love)
Lookin’ through the eyes of love (lookin’ through the eyes of love)
Lookin’ through the eyes of love (lookin’ through the eyes of love)
Lookin’ through the eyes of love (lookin’ through the eyes of love)
Lookin’ through the eyes of love

Don't Give A Dose To The One You Love The Most


Don't Give A Dose To The One You Love The Most
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Shel Silverstein



Don't give a dose to the one you love most
Give her some marmalade...give her some toast
You can give her the willies or give her the blues
But the dose that you give her will get back to youse

I once had a lady as sweet as a song
She was my darlin', and she was my dear
But she had a dose, and she passed it along
Now she's gone, but the dose is still there

So, don't give a dose to the one you love most
Give her some marmalade...give her some toast
You can give her a partiridge up in a pear tree
But the dose that you give her might get back to me

So if you've got an itchin'...if you've got a drip
Don't sit there wishin' for it to go 'way
If there's a thing on the tip of your thing or your lip
Run down to the clinic today, and say...

"I won't give a dose to the one I love most
I'll give her some marmalade...give her some toast"
Give her the willies or give her the blues
But the dose that you give her will get back to you

Aux Talons De Ses Souliers


Aux Talons De Ses Souliers
Composer(s): Enrico Macias
Performer(s): Enrico Macias



Les rues, les jours de marché, piquantes et bariolées
Parfumées d’orange et de piment
Un régiment d’oliviers, bordés de citronniers avec une maison devant
Les premières joies du cœur devant un champ de fleurs
Sont marquées de rose et d’amitié
Quand j’évoque ces instants je sens que mon accent revient comme il était avant

On emporte un peu sa ville aux talons de ses souliers
Quand pour vivre plus tranquille on doit tout abandonner

Les arcades tamisées où les petits cafés
Semblent s’allonger sur les trottoirs
La vieille maison de pierre, ce coin de cimetière où dort notre page d’histoire
Les couleurs de la montagne sous le ciel qui s’enflamme
Par le feu tout proche du désert
C’est autant de souvenirs qu’on ne peut pas détruire
Pourtant ils nous ont fait souffrir

On emporte un peu sa ville aux talons de ses souliers
Quand pour vivre plus tranquille on doit tout abandonner

Que l’on vive n’importe où
L’accent nous suit partout
comme une ombre doublée d’un miroir
On le porte comme un drapeau
Planté sur chaque mot
Depuis qu’on a pris le départ

On emporte un peu sa ville aux talons de ses souliers
Quand pour vivre plus tranquille on doit tout abandonner
On emporte un peu sa ville aux talons de ses souliers
Et pour vivre plus tranquille
On doit tout recommencer

Don't Get Me Wrong


Don't Get Me Wrong Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde First release by: The Pretenders - 1986 Covered by multiple other artists



Don't get me wrong
If I'm looking kind of dazzled
I see neon lights
Whenever you walk by

Don't get me wrong
If you say hello and I take a ride
Upon a sea where the mystic moon
Is playing havoc with the tide
Don't get me wrong

Don't get me wrong
If I'm acting so distracted
I'm thinking about the fireworks
That go off when you smile

Don't get me wrong
If I split like light refracted
I'm only off to wander
Across a moonlit mile

Once in a while
Two people meet
Seemingly for no reason
They just pass on the street
Suddenly thunder showers everywhere
Who can explain the thunder and rain
But there's something in the air

Don't get me wrong
If I come and go like fashion
I might be great tomorrow
But hopeless yesterday

Don't get me wrong
If I fall in the mode of passion
It might be unbelievable
But let's not stay so long
It might just be fantastic
Don't get me wrong
