Ave Maria Norma


Ave Maria Norma
Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu



Enfant béni des dieux d'Athènes
Au grands yeux sombres des icônes
Un roi a fait de vous sa reine
Quant au soleil la mer se donne
J'entends les trompettes d'Aïda
Madame Butterfly je vous aime
Chantez moi encore la Tosca
Menez moi dans votre Bohème

Ave Maria ave Maria
Ave Maria Maria Norma

Comme un oiseau de nuit malade
L'Opéra meurt d'amours chimères
Comme un bateau loin de sa rade
Pour une diva et s'entrouvert
Manon Lescaut s'est fiancée
Un soir d'hiver belle alseste
Et Turandot s'en va danser
Une étonnante chanson de gestes

Ave Maria ave Maria
Ave Maria Maria Norma

Comme un prière païenne
Pour l'unique amour d'une princesse
Le monde entier est sur la scène
Il vient l'aimer le temps d'une messe
Carmen salut une dernière fois
Désespérément belle et fauve
Et l'écho tragique de sa voix
Rejoint les pleurs de la nuit mauve

Ave Maria ave Maria
Ave Maria Maria Norma

Ah ah
Maria

Don't Leave Me Now


Don't Leave Me Now Composer(s): Aaron Schroeder - Ben Weisman First recording/First release by: Elvis Presley with The Jordanaires - 1957 Covered by multiple other artists



Don't leave me now
Now that I need you
How blue and lonely I’d be
If you should say we're through

Don't break my heart
This heart that loves you
They'll just be nothing for me
If you should leave me now

What good is dreamin'
If I must dream all alone by myself
Without you darling
My dreams would just gather dust
Like a book on a shelf

Come to these arms
These arms that need you
Don't close your eyes to my plea
Oh,don't leave me now
don't close your eyes, oh please
oh you don't leave me now

Ave Maria (Renato Zero)


Ave Maria
Composer(s): Renato Zero - R. Serio
Performer(s): Renato Zero



Quanta poesia, buttata via, Ave Maria
La crudeltà, l'ingenuità, Ave Maria
Noi sempre ad un passo dal cielo
Poi davanti agli occhi, quel velo...

Schegge di eroi, venuti dal mai, Ave Maria
Fiori appena spuntati, e già recisi, Ave Maria
Rei, di questa cieca ignoranza
Rei, del vuoto di una presenza
Vuoi illuminarci, Maria!
Puoi un'altra volta, Puoi...Maria!

Figli taciuti
Venduti o dimenticati
Orrore, oppure anche tu, hai finito di non vedere
alimentando così il silenzio, ch'e' qui

Ave Maria Ave Maria
Dove si muore prima di poter capire, Ave Maria
Dove la ragione non ha più niente da imparare, Ave Maria
Si, siamo meschini e anche vili
Ma, non siamo stati mai così soli...soli!

Ave Maria, Ave Maria, Ave Maria!
Stai con la povera gente
Stai!
Dai colore a chi non ha niente! Niente...
Sai, quella coscienza ci sfugge
e la paura è già... legge
Ave Maria!

Più luce alla speranza
è così buia questa via!
Ave Maria
Un abbraccio ancora...
Tu puoi farlo... Maria
un'altra volta, Maria!

Don't Laugh At Me


Don’t Laugh At Me Composer(s): J. Tremayne - Norman Wisdom Performer(s): Norman Wisdom



Don’t laugh at me ‘cause I’m a fool
I know it’s true, yes I’m a fool
No-one seems to care
I’d give the world to share my life with someone
Who really loves me
I see them all falling in love
But my lucky star hides up above
Someday maybe my star will smile on me
Don’t laugh at me ‘cause I’m a fool

I’m not good-looking, I’m not too smart
I may be foolish but I’ve got a heart
I love the flowers, I love the sun
But when I try to love the girls
They laugh at me and run

Don’t laugh at me ‘cause I’m a fool
I know it’s true, yes I’m a fool
No-one seems to care
I’d give the world to share my life with someone
Who really loves me
I see them all falling in love
But my lucky star hides up above
Someday maybe my star will smile on me
Don’t laugh at me ‘cause I’m a fool

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

Escuchame, Ave Maria

Te Pido Que No Termine
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

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

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
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?
