Ay! Mourir Pour Toi


Ay! Mourir Pour Toi
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour; Dalida; Dany Brillant



Ay, mourir pour toi
À l'instant où ta main me frôle
Laisser ma vie sur ton épaule
Bercé par le son de ta voix

Ay, mourir d'amour
T'offrir ma dernière seconde
Et sans regret quitter le monde
En emportant mon plus beau jour

Pour garder notre bonheur comme il est là
Ne pas connaître la douleur pour toi
Et la terrible certitude
De la solitude

Ay, mourir pour toi
Prendre le meilleur de nous-mêmes
Dans le souffle de ton "je t'aime"
Et m'endormir avec mes joies

Parle-moi, console-moi
J'ai peur du jour qui va naître
Il sera le dernier peut-être
Que notre bonheur va connaître

Serre-moi, apaise-moi
Quand j'ai l'angoisse du pire
Ne ris pas quand tu m'entends dire
Qu'au fond mourir pour mourir

Ay, mourir pour toi
À l'instant où ta main me frôle
Laisser ma vie sur ton épaule
Bercé par le son de ta voix

Ay, mourir d'amour
T'offrir ma dernière seconde
Et sans regret quitter le monde
En emportant mon plus beau jour

Pour garder notre bonheur comme il est là
Ne pas connaître la douleur par toi
Et la terrible certitude
De la solitude

Ay, mourir pour toi
Prendre le meilleur de nous-mêmes
Dans le souffle de ton "je t'aime"
Et m'endormir avec mes joies
Mourir pour toi

Don't Lose My Number


Don't Lose My Number Composer(s): Phil Collins Performer(s): Phil Collins and multiple other artists



There came a night leaving fear behind
shadows are on the ground
And nobody knew where to find him, no evidence was found
I'm never coming back, I heard him cry, and I believe him
He never meant to do anything wrong, it's gonna get worse if he waits too long

Chorus:
Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
'Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you
Oh now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
'Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh

Searchin' through the day and into the night
They wouldn't stop until they found him
They didn't know him and they didn't understand, nobody asked him why
"Get out of my way", I heard a shout, then a blinding light
All I could see was him running down the street
Out of the shadows and into the night

Chorus

Don't give up, keep running, keep hiding
Now don't give up, oh Billy, if you know you're right
Don't give up, 'cos you know that I am on your side
Don't give up, oh Billy
You better, you better, you better run for your life

Chorus

There came a night leaving fear behind, shadows are on the ground
Nobody knew where to find him, no evidence was found
I'm never coming back, I heard him cry, and I believe him
He never meant to do anything wrong, it's gonna get worse if he waits too long

Chorus

Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
'Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh Billy

Ay No Digas


Ay No Digas
Performer(s): Chris Montez



Ay no digas que tu no quieres

que tu no quieres
quieres mi amor
Because I love you I only want you

oh
how I need you
that is for sure

If I had sunshine
I'd give it to you

if I had fortunes
I'd do the same
I'd give the stars to nobody but you
and
most of all
I'd give you my name

We've been through all kinds of weather

Now is no time to go 'way
If we could just stay together

then everything will be okay

We've been through all kinds of weather

Now is no time to go 'way
If we could just stay together

then everything will be okay
Ay no digas que tu no quieres

Ay no digas que tu no quieres

que tu no quieres
quieres mi amor
Because I love you I only want you

oh
how I need you
that is for sure

We've been through all kinds of weather

Now is no time to go 'way
If we could just stay together

then everything will be okay

We've been through all kinds of weather

Now is no time to go 'way
If we could just stay together

then everything will be okay
Everything be okay

Don't Lose Heart (Dan Fogelberg)


Don't Lose Heart
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg



"This life is heartless and it's rarely just
Full of sad betrayals and misplaced trust
And it can suck your spirit just as dry as dust
And steel your soul if you let it
Oh, every life contains its sorrows and pains
Its stormy weather and its rough terrains
You watch me wrestle with my length of chain
And smile so bravely as you tell me

Don't lose heart
Don't lose heart
Though it feels like yours will fall apart
Just remember when the road gets dark
I will always be beside you

I've spent my life pursuing fortune and fame
Chasing rainbows in a shadow game
And I'm not sure what I've lost is worth the gain
Or why my soul remains so restless

You've seen me stumble, Lord, you've seen me fall
You've shared my triumphs and you've seen me crawl
And when I think that I could lose it all
You give me courage and you tell me

Don't lose heart
Don't lose heart
Though it feels like yours will fall apart
Just remember when the road gets dark
I will always be beside you"

Ay Mi Palomita


Ay Mi Palomita
Composer(s): Victor Jara
Performer(s): Victor Jara



Ingrata goza tu gusto
dejame a mi padecer
Que una sola vida tengo
y por ti la he de perde

Ay mi palomita
como le gusta su palomar
ay surey, surey
como le gusta su palomar

Matecito sobre el agua
capullito de algodon
Candadito de mi pecho
llave de mi corazon

Ay mi palomita
como le gusta su palomar
ay surey, surey
como le gusta su palomar

Don't Look Now But My Heart Is Showing


Don't Look Now But My Heart Is Showing
Composer(s): Ogden Nash - Kurt Weill
Performer(s): Dick Haymes, Eileen Wilson, Olga San Juan



If this bliss is love
Why didn’t somebody tell me

Don’t look now but my heart is showing
No matter what I say or do
Can’t hide it, my heart’s Romeo-ing
I can’t stay away from you
You smile and my dreams start hallo-ing
They spin when you come into view
In circles, I may not be going
But I feel I reel with you

When mister kisses miss, no need for words to embroider
When mister kisses miss, changing her name is in order
You smile, and the stardust is glowing
We’re whirling in a world that’s new
Don’t look now but your heart is showing
And it flips and halts and turns somersaults
Darling, it wants to waltz with you

Don’t ask me but here is my answer
I think that you’re magically he
Who could be a love necromancer
Neck-romancing is for me
Don’t stop me but I am replying
I know that you’re magically she
The preacher would like to be tying
As you coo I do with me
Around, round and round
I’m just like a record that’s playing
Repeating the same sound
The needle must like what I’m saying
These wings that I feel I am growing
Belong to someone I never knew
Don’t look now but heaven is showing
And tonight the sky is my sky to fly
Darling, falling in love
Falling in love with you

Aie, Je l'Aime


Aie, Je l'Aime
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Aie je l'aime
Aie Aie Aie je l'aime
Qu'il m'enlace, qu'il m'embrasse
Qu'il me frappe ou bien me chasse
S'il me rappelle tout à coup
Tout s'efface et tête basse
Je reviens car quoi qu'il fasse

Parfois sans rien dire
Pendant de longs mois
Nul ne sait pourquoi
Il disparaît mais il revient
Devant son sourire
Moi le voyant là
Je reste sans force et je ne lui demande rien
Dans ses mains mon coeur n'est plus qu'un jeu
L'animal fait de moi ce qu'il veut

Aie je l'aime
Aie Aie Aie je l'aime
Il rAieonne, je frissonne
Pourtant si je le questionne
Il met sa joue contre ma joue
Il marmonne et je pardonne
A quoi bon que je m'illusionne
Aie Aie Aie je l'aime et puis c'est tout

Il aime bien vivre
Dormir au soleil
Et dit en riant que le travail est pour les fous
Et quand il s'enivre
C'est toujours pareil
Il est si heureux qu'il chante, danse et casse tout
Il prétend qu'il est riche à millions
Sa fortune est faite d'illusions

Mais je l'aime
Aie Aie Aie je l'aime
Il sait faire pour me plaire
Des choses extraordinaires
Et sachant qu'il est un peu fou
Je tolères ses manières
Car je ne puis me refaire
Aie Aie Aie je l'aime et puis c'est tout

Don't Look Now (But Your Broken Heart Is Showing)


Don't Look Now (But Your Broken Heart Is Showing)
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Hank Thompson



He left you flat and crying too the way that you left me
Just when you thought you had things your way
And now I guess you know my Dear what it means to be blue
For consolation hears all I can say

Don't Look Now, But Your Broken Heart Is Showin’
That smile upon your face can not fool me
You’re to blame if I have a way of knowin’
That within your heart there’s only misery

'Cause you’re the one that left me deep in sorrow
Without a soul to tell my troubles to
So Don't Look Now, But Your Broken Heart Is Showin’
And to me to me it sure looks good on you

Ah come in Jimmie

'Cause you’re the one that left me deep in sorrow
Without a soul to tell my troubles to
So Don't Look Now, But Your Broken Heart Is Showin’
And to me to me it sure looks good on you

Ay de Ti, Ay de Mí


Ay de Ti, Ay de Mí
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Y yo que estaba de vuelta de todas las idas
con el cima herida
te quiero, ya ves
Seré lo que tú prefieras
tu luz o tu sombra
o acaso una alfombra
besando tus pies
Ay de ti, ay de mí
ni tú ni yo somos culpables
infelices locos que caímos en este amor
que es un error
imperdonable
ay de ti, ay de mí
Y tú que siempre decías ser inteligente
no como esa gente
que muere de amor
Así sabrás que la rosa es rosa por bella
y no porque en ella
respire una flor...
Ay de ti, ay de mi..
la vida es la consentida, feroz dictadura
de una criatura
que juega a mandar
Ni tú ni yo somos nadie, ni hacemos historia
pues somos la escoria
que aun puede quemar
Ay de ti, ay de mí...

Don't Look Now (It Ain't You Or Me)


Don't Look Now (It Ain't You Or Me)
Composer(s): John C. Fogerty
First release by: Creedence Clearwater Revival - 1969



Who will take the coal from the mine?
Who will take the salt from the earth?
Who'll take a leaf and grow it to a tree?
Don't Look Now, it ain't you or me
Who will work the field with his hands?
Who will put his back to the plough?
Who'll take the mountain and give it to the sea?
Don't Look Now, it ain't you or me

Don't Look Now, someone's done your starvin'
Don't Look Now, someone's done your prayin' too

Who will make the shoes for your feet?
Who will make the clothes that you wear?
Who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep?
Don't Look Now, it ain't you or me

Don't Look Now, someone's done your starvin'
Don't Look Now, someone's done your prayin' too

Who will take the coal from the mines?
Who will take the salt from the earth?
Who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep?
Don't Look Now, it ain't you or me

Ay Catamarca
Composer(s): Victor Heredia
Performer(s): Victor Heredia



Ay Catamarca, madre del canto
por estas venas arde tu sol
por estas venas arde tu sol
Ay Catamarca, cómo soñaban
los ojos míos poderte ver
poderte ver...
Fuiste la cuna de mis abuelos
tu claro cielo los vio renacer
los vio renacer
Y allí mi madre, gracioso mimbre
moreno pelo, se hizo mujer
moreno pelo, se hizo mujer
Ay Catamarca, cómo soñaban
los ojos míos poderte ver
poderte ver...
Ay Catamarca, ay Catamarca
catamarqueño debiera ser
catamarqueño debiera ser
catamarqueño debiera ser...

Don't Look In My Eyes


Don't Look In My Eyes Composer(s): Brian Potter - Frank Wildhorn Performer(s): Kenny Rogers



All my memory is safely packed
And my dreams are neatly folded away
I’ve got nothing to show
To a love that might have told okay
All the tables and chairs
They’re standing empty and bare
And there isn’t any sign
You were here
So jsut walk out of the door
Try not to get too near

You might look in my eyes
And see all the pain
And sadness deep inside
Don’t look in my eyes
That’s where I keep the tears I can’t hide
If you’ve just gone, it’ll be alright
I know I’ll get through the night
And I even smile
As we say our goodbyes
Just don’t look in my eyes

All our photographs are stored away
And our letters are there burned in the fire
There’s nothing left here
That make me believer
We had nights of tender love and desire
If this seems to be gray
I’d like to hide away
There’s nothing to remind me of you
When you walk out of the door
Just be sure whatever you do

Don’t look in my eyes
And see all the pains
And sadness deep inside
Don’t look in my eyes
That’s where I keep the tears I can’t hide
If you’ve just gone, it’ll be alright
I know I’ll make it through the night
And I even smile
As we say our goodbyes
Just don’t look in my eyes

Don't Look Down


Don't Look Down Composer(s): Colin Allen - Mick Ronson Performer(s): Mick Ronson



Don't know what I'm doing here, but I say it again
Don't know what I'm doing here, but you might know my name
Room full of faces laughing, I'm so alone
Feel a little strange, 'cause I'm so far from home

Don't wanna fall
Remember don't look down
Don't wanna fall
Remember don't look down
Yeah, don't look down

Had a woman's love, but she sent me away
Can't live with a broken heart, but there's no place to stay
I won't be crying, I don't have the time
Better keep my head on straight, 'cause I'm walking the line

Don't wanna fall
Remember don't look down
Don't wanna fall
Remember don't look down
Don't look down

Getting kinda scared but you see, I'm here just the same
Gonna face the day, 'cause there's no one else I can blame
I got my trouble, I'll get it over and done
I'll never get too far if I keep trying to run

Don't wanna fall
Remember don't look down
Don't wanna fall
Remember don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down

Away From You (Sarah Brightman)


Away From You
Composer(s): Sheldon Harnick - Richard Rodgers - Steve Walsh
Performer(s): Sarah Brightman



Away from you
There is no music
There is no sunlight
The world is gray
Away from you
The clocks are frozen
And time's a traveller
Who's lost his way

The people I meet
Might as well be statues
The words we exchange
Might as well be Greek
The room that I'm in
May be bright and cheerful
But to me
It's dim and bleak

I'm half alive
Until the moment
The door swings open
And you walk through
Now my world starts to glow
Like a stained-glass window
And what was old and cold
Is warm and new
And so you see
Why I can never be
Away from you

Away from you
The world is lifeless
As though creation
Has gone awry
The trees are bare
There are no flowers
The fields are thirsty
The streams are dry

We live, you and I
For a breath of sunlight
So brief an escape
From a world of gray
Our moments of warmth
Have been touch and go, love
But tonight, we'll touch
And stay

The people I meet
Might as well be statues
The words we exchange
Might as well be Greek
The room that I'm in
May be bright and cheerful
But to me
It's dim and bleak

I'm half alive
Until the moment
The door swings open
And you walk through
Now my soul is afloat
On a wave of music
That I could feel such joy
I never knew
And so you see
Why I can never be
Away from you

Don't Look Back


Don't Look Back
Composer(s): Tom Scholz
Performer(s): Boston



Don't look back
A new day is breaking
It's been too long since I felt this way
I don't mind where I get taken
The road is calling
Today is the day
I can see
It took so long to realise
I'm much too strong
Not to compromise
Now I see what I am is holding me down
I'll turn it around
I finally see the dawn arriving
I see beyond the road I'm driving
Far away and left behind
It's a new horizon and I'm awaking now
Oh I see myself in a brand new way
The sun is shining
the clouds are breaking
'Cause I can't lose now, there's no game to play
I can tell
There's no more time left to criticise
I've seen what I could not recognise
Everything in my life was leading me on
but I can be strong
I finally see the dawn arriving
I see beyond the road I'm driving
Far away and left behind

Away From You (Louis Jordan)


Away From You
Composer(s): Rodney Sturgis
Performer(s): Louis Jordan



It made me cry
To say good-bye
I'm sad and blue
Now that you've gone
I can't go on
Away from you

I smile to hide
The tears inside
It's hard to do
My happiness
My life's success
Depends on you

The hours seem long
The world goes wrong
When we're apart
My skies are gray
What can I say
To soothe my heart?

It is the end
I can't pretend
That I'm not blue
Oh, can't you see
Life's misery
Away from you!

The hours are long
The world goes wrong
When we're apart
My skies are gray
What can I say
To soothe my heart?

It is the end
I can't pretend
That I'm not blue
Oh, can't you see
Life's misery
Away from you!
Away from you!

Don't Look Away


Don't Look Away
Composer(s): Pete Townshend
Performer(s): The Who



Don't go and hide
Yesterday you were my girlfiend
If you do
My inside goes around and around in a whirlwind

There's a stone in my shoe
So I can't catch you up
My head's in a lion's mouth
Wants to eat me up
Right here today
Don't look away
I've always been true
And I still love you
So don't look away
There's a lot you can do
To get me away
You've got to stay
Don't look away
Don't look away

I once heard you say
If I ever was down you would help me
Now my head's being chewed up
You pretend that you don't see

There's a stone in my shoe
So I can't catch you up
My head's in a lion's mouth
Wants to eat me up
Right here today
Don't look away
I've always been true
And I still love you
So don't look away
There's a lot you can do
To get me away
You've got to stay
Don't look away
Don't look away

I've always been true
And I still love you
So don't look away
There's a lot you can do
To get me away
You've got to stay
Don't look away
Don't look away
Don't look away
Don't look away
Don't look away

Polly In A Porny


Polly In A Porny
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Shel Silverstein



Haha I kissed Polly goodnight
Haha as we stood at her front door
Now she's quite a proper lady
So I didn't ask for anything more
But haha I was feeling oh so groovie
That I went down to the movie
And I sat down and guess just what I saw

I saw Polly in a porny
Down at the dirty flicks
I saw Polly in a porny
I didn't know she knew them tricks
What I seen nearly struck me blind
I never knew she was the artically inclined
I saw Polly in a porny with a pony
And I've nearly blowed my mind
Was she gallopin' (no no no)
Oh was she trottin' (no no no)
Oh was she riding across the country
with some tall dark handsome person
Oh was she wearin' her cowboy hat
Haha well not exactly that
But at least I recall she had her spurs on
I love ol' Polly in a porny
I keep on going back
Yeah in the very last row I'm singin' low
With my coat bouncin' in my lap
Ooh I spend each dime I can afford
I swear she's gonna win an academy award
I saw Polly in a porny with a pony
And the pony seemed a little bored
Ooh oh ride
Polly ride slide
Polly slide
