Ave Maria (Raphael)


Ave Maria
Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro
Performer(s): Raphael



Es Verdad
Que Hace Tiempo Que Te Tengo En El Olvido
Que Ni Rezo, Ni Me Acuerdo
De Llevarte Rosas Rojas Al Altar
Es Verdad
Que Tu Nombre No Lo Digo Desde Niño
Pero Ahora Yo Necesito
Que Me Ayudes Y Que Olvides Lo Que He Sido

Ave Maria
Escuchame, Ave Maria
Ave Maria
Tu Sabes Que Yo La Quiero
Y Es Todo Lo Que Tengo
Ave Maria
Escuchame, Ave Maria
Ave Maria
Te Pido Que No Termine
Nuestro Amor

Y Recordaras
Aquellas Flores Que Adornaban Tu Capilla
Eran Mias, Solo Mias
Las Robaba Por Las Noches Para Ti
Recordaras
Cuantas Veces Te He Rezado De Rodillas
Mis Amigos Se Reian
Al Mirarme Se Reian, Se Reian

Ave Maria
Escuchame, Ave Maria
Ave Maria
Tu Sabes Que Yo La Quiero
Y Es Todo Lo Que Tengo
Ave Maria
Escuchame, Ave Maria
Ave Maria
Te Pido Que No Termine
Nuestro Amor
Nuestro Amor
Nuestro Amor

Don't Know Where She Went (She Split)


Don't Know Where She Went (She Split)
Performer(s): Canned Heat



Don't know why she left me
Don't know where she went
Lookin' for my baby
I'm broke, what a bash it's been

'Cause she split
Yeah, she split
Packed her suitcase, now my baby's gone

When she left this mornin'
She packed her suitcase tight
Told my pretty baby
She didn't treat me right

'Cause she split
Yeah, she split
Packed her suitcase, now my baby's gone

Went down to my buddy's
Knocked on his front door
Asked him 'bout my baby
She ain't here no more

'Cause she split
Yeah, she split
Packed her suitcase, now my baby's gone

Sell my pretty Cadillac
Get me a lot of bread
Find my pretty baby
Bust her in the head

Oh, she split
Yeah, she split
Packed her suitcase, now my baby's gone

Don't know why she left me
Don't know where she went
I'm lookin' for my baby
I'm broke, what a bash it's been

'Cause she split
Yeah, she split
Packed her suitcase, now my baby's gone

Packed her suitcase, now my baby's gone
Packed her suitcase, now my baby's gone

Don't Know Much


Don't Know Much Composer(s): Barry Mann - Tom Snow - Cynthia Weil First release by: Barry Mann - 1980 Covered by multiple other artists



Look at this face I know the years are showing
Look at this life I still don't know where it's going
I don't much but I know I love you
That may be all I need to know

Look at these eyes they never seen what matters
Look at these dreams so beaten and so battered
I don't much but I know I love you
That may be all I need to know

So many questions still left unanswered
So much I've never broken through
And when I feel you near me sometimes I see so clearly
That only truth I'll never know is me and you

Look at this man so blessed with inspiration
Look at this soul still searching for salvation
I don't much but I know I love you
That may be all I need to know

I don't much but I know I love you
That may be all I need to know
I don't much but I know I love you
That may be all there is to know

Ave Maria (Charles Aznavour - English Version)


Ave Maria
((French Version: Avé Maria (by Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Franz Schubert - Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz - Herbert Kretzmer
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Ave Maria, Ave Maria
Ave Maria, Ave Maria

Ave, Maria, Ave, Maria
those who suffer call out to you
your arms embrace them all
for you have suffered, too
like any other
the Holy Mother

Ave, Maria, Ave, Maria
They are children, lost in their fears
You, who once lost a child
You wash them with your tears
You purify them
You beautify them.

Ave, Maria, Ave, Maria
All who doubt you, stray in the night
Maria
So take them by the hand
and lead them to the light

Ave Maria, Ave Maria
Ave Maria, Ave Maria

Ave Maria, Ave Maria
Ave Maria, Ave Maria

Amen

Don't Knock The Rock


Don't Knock The Rock
Composer(s): Fred Karger - Robert E. Kent
Performer(s): Bill Haley; Alan Dale



Don’t knock the rock (Don’t knock the rock)
Don’t knock the rock (Don’t knock the rock)
Well my baby don’t do nothin’ but rock an’ roll that’s all

You can knock be-bop and you can knock swing
Say what you want about any old thing, but
Don’t knock the rock (Don’t knock the rock)
Don’t knock the rock (Don’t knock the rock)
Well my baby don’t do nothin’ but rock an’ roll that’s all

Now when my baby’s dancin’ she’s as tall as a clown
If she ever fell, she’d have to fall outa town
Dances in the kitchen with her feet in the hall
Rollin’ the rock she’s-a havin’ a ball

Don’t knock the rock (Don’t knock the rock)
Don’t knock the rock (Don’t knock the rock)
Well my baby don’t do nothin’ but rock an’ roll that’s all

You can knock mambo or dozy doe
Say what you want about any of those, but,
Don’t knock the rock (Don’t knock the rock)
Don’t knock the rock (Don’t knock the rock)
Well my baby don’t do nothin’ but rock an’ roll that’s all

You can knock-a the jive and boogie beat
Kick about those with both of your feet, but,
Don’t knock the rock (Don’t knock the rock)
Don’t knock the rock (Don’t knock the rock)
Well my baby don’t do nothin’ but rock an’ roll that’s all

When my baby’s dancin’ she is really alive
Grabs herself a partner, Mr. Five by Five
Swings him from the tree like a happy baboon
Two steps back, throws him over the moon

Well, don’t knock the rock (Don’t knock the rock)
Don’t knock the rock (Don’t knock the rock)
Well my baby don’t do nothin’ but rock an’ roll that’s all

Don't Kill The Animals


Don't Kill The Animals Composer(s): Nina Hagen - Lene Lovich Performer(s): Nina Hagen



We all want to see thru life's mystery
The quest for knowledge is a natural activity
But science be careful -- science be kind
We can't go on pretending to be blind
Those animal experiments don't make sense
You're getting nowhere with cruelty and death
I say ignorance was some excuse
But uh-uh not now -- you see we got the proof
A-a-aanimal testing is a dangerious game
All systems are different -- we're not the same
It's a terrible risk -- so no surprise
We get wrong results -- hey what about Thalidomide
Abuse yourself of your own free will
Get hurt -- get high -- get in distress
But don't drag the animals into this mess

No more torture! The animals are free
The same with messing around with atomic energy
Hey hey doctor - reincarnation
Would you like to come back as a laboratory rat?
Here we are coiled like a sleeping snake
We got to expand out potential
Forgod's sake
If we want to avoid this endless human riot
Why don't we start by changing our diet
Life is for living -- the animals agree
If they were meant to be eaten
They'd be growing on trees
So no more torture of our furry friends
In the name of food or scientific ends
The pressure is on -- be antivivisection!

All our scientists are messing up - they don't succeed
Let the psychics tell what the spirits think we need
Our super friends from other planets want to give advice
But the money orientated business doesn't think that's nice

Come on let's educate the mutated human race
By the super power of amazing grace
The missing link of human evolution
Is sexuality - it needs a spiritual revolution
My individual god identity
Is what you've gotta meet
It's the rhythm of the beat

Don't kill the animals
Don't kill the animals
The animals are free

Don't Kill It Carol


Don't Kill It Carol Composer(s): Mike Heron First release by: Mike Heron - 1977



This wild rose that I hold in my hand
It's the strangest thing I've seen
One bud only just started to show
And the leaves are the lightest green
It's had it's share of the rain
It needs some feeling to light it's fiery flame again
But one cruel lie and it could die

(Don't kill it Carol)
Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow
Don't kill it Carol
Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow
Don't kill it Carol

This wild rose that I hold in my hand
It could grow to be so strong
Born one night in the calm of the storm
It was made for a rock and roll song
It's only just seen the light
It could so easily fall back to the gentle night
But one cruel lie and it could die

(Don't kill it Carol)
Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow
Don't kill it Carol
Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow
Don't kill it Carol

It's looking for a place to live outside all space and time
Where there's no need for it to fade
There's a secret garden that I think we can find
Lot's of sunshine there's a touch of shade

(Don't kill it Carol)

This wild rose that I hold in my hand
It's the strangest thing I've seen
One bud only just started to show
And the leaves are the lightest green
It's had it's share of the rain
It needs some feeling to light it's fiery flame again
But one cruel lie and it could die

(Don't kill it Carol)
Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow
Don't kill it Carol
Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow
Don't kill it Carol

(repeat)

Ave Coração


Ave Coração
Composer(s): Aldo Clodo
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Eu sei que existe por aí
Uma andorinha solta
Procurando um verão que se perdeu no tempo
Cansou de ser herói do espaço
E quer a companhia de outros pássaros
É que o seu coração de ave
Não agüenta tanta solidão
Eu sei que eu ando por aí
Sou andorinha solta
E nem sei a estação em que estou vivendo
Não quero ser herói de nada
Só quero a companhia de outros braços
É que meu coração de homem
Voa alto como um pássaro

Don't Keep Me Wonderin'


Don't Keep Me Wonderin'
Composer(s): Gregg Allman
Composer(s): The Allman Brothers Band; Keri Leigh; Buddy Miles



Oh, tell me 'bout the car I saw
parked outside your door
tell me what you left me waiting
two or three hours for
Tell me why when the phone rings baby
you're up and across the floor
please don't keep me wonderin' no longer
I think about the bad times
Lord I think about yours and mine
you were lost in the silver spoon
thought I pulled you out in time
And I hope that you got reasons
for the way that you've been lyin'
please don't keep me wonderin' no longer
I think I'm gonna go now
but you know that I'll be back
Now you can think it over Baby
tell me how you're gonna act
I'm gonna keep on holding on
but I don't get no stronger
please don't keep me wonderin' no longer

Don't Just Stand There


Don't Just Stand There
Composer(s): Lor Crane - Bernice Ross
Performer(s): Patty Duke



Please don't just stand there
Come and kiss me like before
Please don't just stand there
Looking down at the floor
If something is wrong
Give me just one little sign
Is there someone else
Please tell me
Tell me what what what what's on your mind
Once when we'd meet
You'd run to hold me tight
Life was so sweet
Until tonight
Please don't just stand there
Get it over if we're through
Please don't just stand there
While my heart breaks in two
Don't be unfair
How can you be so unkind
Please stop hurting me
And help me
Tell me what what what what's on your mind
Note:Rhythm changes here
If it's a game
We don't want to play it
And if it's goodbye
Why can't you just say it
Why make me cry like you do
How can you be so unkind
Please start loving me
Or leave me
Tell me what what what what's on your mind

Don't just stand there

(Now Patty singing "Tell me what what what what's on your mind"
alternates with the chorus singing "Don't just stand there" over
and over as the song fades away)

Avant Nous


Avant Nous
Composer(s): René Rouzaud - Marguerite Monnot
Performer(s): Edith Piaf



Un printemps meurt, en vient un autre
Et tout change, et tout est pareil
Le bonheur n'est pas le nôtre
Pas plus que le soleil
Écoute, écoute dans le monde
Cet orchestre de cœurs battants
De partout ils se répondent
Depuis combien de temps?

Avant nous
D'autres amants ont dit: "Je t'aime"
Comme nous...
Avant nous
D'autres ont souffert, ont trahi même
Comme...
Non! Ne crois pas ça! Ne crois pas ça!
L'amour n'est pas cette misère
L'amour, c'est toi entre mes bras...
Avant nous
D'autres ont dansé sur des "Je t'aime"
Comme nous...
Avant nous
D'autres se sont quittés quand même
Comme...
Non! Pas comme nous... Ne crois pas ça!
On a dansé sur toute la terre
Et l'on dansera sur ces mots-là

Aimons-nous
Comme ceux-là qui tant s'aimèrent
Comme nous
Et comme ceux qui nous suivront
Et comme ceux qui s'aimeront...
Après nous...

Don't Jump Off The Roof, Dad


Don't Jump Off The Roof, Dad Performer(s): Homer & Jethro



Daddy came home from work tired
His boss had been driving him mad
The kids were all shouting, the dog bit him too
His dinner was nothing but boiled over stew

I guess it was then he decided
Up to the rooftop he'd go
He was about to jump off when
The kids started howling below

'Don't jump off the roof, Dad
You'll make a hole in the yard
Mother's just planted petunias
The weeding and seeding was hard

If you must end it all, Dad
Won't you please give us a break
Just take a walk down the park, Dad
And there you can jump in the lake

Avant L'heure


Avant L'heure
Composer(s): Marcel Achard - Marguerite Monnot
Performer(s): Edith Piaf



Avant l'heure, c'est pas l'heure
Après l'heure, c'est plus l'heure
Je l'ai rencontré un peu trop tard
Il avait déjà vu Germaine
Il m'a aimée pendant cinq semaines
Je me foutais du tiers comme du quart
Et puis un jour, il a compris
Il m'a menti encore trois semaines
Puis il est allé vers Germaine
Ah mes enfants! Qu'est-ce que j'ai pris!...
J' lui en veux pas...
Que faire à ça?
Avant l'heure, c'est pas l'heure
Après l'heure, c'est plus l'heure
Quand on dit "moins l' quart", c'est moins le quart!
Je l'ai rencontré un peu trop tard!

Pierre aime la femme de Jean
Jean aime la femme de Pierre
La femme de Pierre aime un sergent
La femme de Jean aime un notaire
Qu'est-ce qu'ils espèrent
Ces pauvres gens?
Si la femme de Pierre avait vu le sergent
Avant de rencontrer Pierre...
Si la femme de Jean avait vu le notaire
Avant de rencontrer Jean...
Ce serait une toute autre affaire!
'y aurait du bonheur à Nogent
Au lieu qu'on y pleure...

L'heure, c'est l'heure...

Avant l'heure, c'est pas l'heure
Après l'heure, c'est plus l'heure
Quand on dit "moins l' quart", c'est moins l' quart!
Je l'ai rencontré un peu trop tard!

...trop tard!...

Don't It Make You Want To Go Home


Don't It Make You Want To Go Home Composer(s): Joe South First release by: Joe South and the Believers - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists



Oh, the whippoorwill roosts on the telephone pole
And the Georgia sun goes down
Well, it's been a long, long time but I'm glad that I'm
Goin' back to my home town

Goin' down to the Greyhound station
Gonna buy me a one-way fare
And if the good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise
By tomorrow, ah, I'm gonna be there

Don't it make you want to go home?
Don't it make you want to go home?
All God's children get weary when they roam
Don't it make you want to go home?

There's a six-lane highway down by the creek
Where I went skinny-dippin' as a child
And a drive-in show where the meadows used to grow
And the strawberries used to grow wild

There's a drag strip down by the riverside
Where my grandma's cow used to graze
Now the grass don't grow and the river don't flow
Like it did in my childhood days

(Don't it make you wanna go home?)
(Don't it make you wanna go home?)
All God's children get weary when they roam
(Don't it make you) wanna, wanna go home?

"It's different, it's different, it's different, so different now"
"Don't it make you wanna go home?"
"But all God's children get weary when they roam, and don't it make you wanna go home?"

"Don't it make you wanna to go home don't it make you wanna go home
And now-ah, don't it make you wanna go home, don't it make you wanna go home?"
All of God's children get weary when they roam
(Don't it make you)
"And" (want to go home?)
I'm goin' home

Don't it make you want to go home?

Avant La Guerre


Avant La Guerre
((English & German Versions: To Be A Soldier (by Charles Aznavour); Vor Dem Winter (by Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



J'avais vingt ans une âme tendre
Toi seize tout à apprendre
Quand je t'écrivais des poèmes
Où tout rimait avec je t'aime
Tu étais encore écolière
C'était un peu avant la guerre

À l'orée de l'adolescence
Le désir bouscule l'enfance
Dans l'herbe d'un printemps précoce
On s'est uni en simples noces
Notre témoin fut Dieu le père
C'était un peu avant la guerre

Mais au vent des amours fautives
Ce qui doit arriver arrive
Ta taille prit de l'importance
On nous maria de toute urgence
Mais un jour les choses changèrent
C'était un peu avant la guerre

Un uniforme sans retouche
Un fusil et quatre cartouches
Les champs brûlés de la retraite
Les barbelés de la défaite
Quelque part en terre étrangère
Je nous revois avant la guerre

Où sont les seize ans de ta vie
Et les printemps de nos folies
Quand pour nous s'ouvraient sur la chance
Les portes d'or de l'insouciance
Et que tout brillait de lumière
Avant la nuit, avant la guerre
Avant la guerre

Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue


Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue Composer(s): Richard Leigh First release by: Crystal Gayle - 1977 Covered by multiple other artists



Don't know when I've been so blue
Don't know what's come over you
You've found someone new
And don't it make my brown eyes blue

I didn't mean to treat you bad
I didn't know just what I had
But honey now I do
And don't it make my brown eyes blue

Tell me some secrets, tell me some lies
Give me reasons, give me alibis
Say that you love me and don't make me cry
Say anything, but don't say goodbye

I'll be fine when you're gone
I'll just cry the whole night long
Say it isn't true
And don't it make my brown eyes blue
I said
Don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes don't it make my brown eyes blue

To Be A Soldier


To Be A Soldier
((French & German Versions: Avant La Guerre (by Charles Aznavour); (by Vor Dem Winter (by Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Herbert Kretzmer
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



She was a girl of sixteen summers
And I was scarcely any older
To see her once was but to love her
To love and cherish, and discover
My every thought was only of her
Before I went to be a soldier

T'was a time of young confusion
When blood runs hot and boys grow bolder
And all that summer long I chased her
Until she turned, until I faced her
On days of parties I embraced her
Before I went to be a soldier

There was a baby born in springtime
I wasn't there to see or hold her
The bugles called and I was sent for
To play the game that blood is spent for
The ancient game that youth is meant for
To be a man, to be a soldier

On foreign fields I've seen the slaughter
Of hot young boys who now grow colder
Where still in a fire burning blindly
Where only poppies still remind me
Of shining summer days behind me
Before I went to be a soldier

When I close my eyes and see my lover
A child asleep against her shoulder
A child of love whose life we started
When hope was new and open-hearted
A time that even more departed
The day I went to be a soldier

Be a soldier

Be a soldier

A soldier

Don't Interrupt The Sorrow


Don't Interrupt The Sorrow Composer(s): Joni Mitchell First release by: Joni Mitchell - 1975



Don't interrupt the sorrow
Darn right
In flames our prophet witches
Be polite
A room full of glasses
He says "You're notches
liberation doll"
And he chains me with that serpent
To that Ethiopian wall

Anima rising
Queen of Queens
Wash my guilt of Eden
Wash and balance me
Anima rising
Uprising in me tonight
She's a vengeful little goddess
With an ancient crown to fight

Truth goes up in vapors

The steeples lean
Winds of change
patriarchs
Snug in your bible belt dreams
God goes up the chimney

Like childhood Santa Claus
The good slaves love the good book
A rebel loves a cause

I'm leaving on the 1:15

You're darn right
Since I was seventeen
I've had no one over me

He says "Anima rising
So what
Petrified wood process
Tall timber down to rock"

Don't interrupt the sorrow
Darn right
He says "We walked on the moon
You be polite"
Don't let up the sorrow

Death and birth and death and birth
He says "Bring that bottle kindly
And I'll pad your purse

I've got a head full of quandary
And a mighty mighty thirst"

Seventeen glasses
Rhine wine
Milk of the Madonna
Clandestine
He don't let up the sorrow
He lies and he cheats
It takes a heart like
Mary's these days
When your man gets weak
