Baby's Got Her Blue Jeans On
Baby's Got Her Blue Jeans On
Composer(s): Bob McDill
Performer(s): Mel McDaniel; Sammy Kershaw
Down on the corner, by the traffic light
Everbody's lookin' as she goes by
They turn their heads and they watch her till she's gone...
Lord have mercy, baby's got her blue jeans on
Up by the bus stop, and across the street
Open their windows, to take a peek
While she goes walkin', rockin' like a rollin' stone...
Heaven help us, baby's got her blue jeans on
She can't help it if she's made that way
She's not to blame if they look her way
She ain't really tryin' to cause a scene
It just comes natur'lly....
(No the girl can't help it)
Well up on main street, by the taxi stand
There's a crowd of people, and a traffic jam
She don't look back, she ain't doin' nothin' wrong...
Lord have mercy, baby's got her blue jeans on
She can't help it if she's made that way
She's not to blame if they look her way
She ain't really tryin' to cause a scene
It just comes natur'lly....
(No the girl can't help it)
Down on the corner, by the traffic light
Everbody's lookin' as she goes by
They turn their heads and they watch her till she's gone...
Lord have mercy, baby's got her blue jeans onLet's get away, you say, find a better place
Miles and miles away from the city's race
Look around for someone lying in the sunshine
Marking time, hear the sighs, close your eyes...
Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da...
Stepping from cloud to cloud passing years of light
Visit the frosty stars in the backward flight
Star becomes a vision, never mind the meaning
Hidden there, moving fast, it won't last...
Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da...
Time passes all too soon, how it rushes by
Now a thousand moons are about to die
No time to reflect on what the time was spent on
Nothing left, far away, dreamers fade
Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da...
Strange visions pass me by, winging sweetly close inside
O-ver the wa-ter, ah....
Swirling, the waters rise up above my head
Gone are the curling mists how they all have fled
Look, the door is open, step into the space
Provided there
Da do da, da, do da...
Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da ...

Mijn liefde is zo licht
zo zacht en zoet ja, als een zucht
ik dompel haar in nectar fijn
zo moet liefde zijn
Want liefde hoeft niet zwaar te zijn
benauwend als een boemeltrein
laat haar vliegen als een bij
laat de liefde vrij
‘k ben bij je en ik voel het
zo zwevend licht, bedoel ik
zo zeldzaam zo te leven
wat angstig tegelijk
Als ik jou even aanraak
maak jij op mij geen aanspraak
ik mag mezelf dus blijven
dat maakt ons extra rijk
onze liefde is zo licht
ik dompel haar in nectarfijn
zo moet liefde zijn
Want liefde hoeft niet zwaar te zijn
benauwend als een boemeltrein
laat haar vliegen als een bij
laat je liefde vrij
Jij geeft mijn liefde leven
daardoor kan ik zweven
daardoor horen wij beiden
als bij en bloem bijeen
wat kostbaar hoe we samen zijn
‘t is als een eeuwenoud geheim
daarom horen wij beiden
als bij en bloem bijeen
Mijn liefde is zo licht
zo zacht en zoet ja, als een zucht
ik dompel haar in nectar fijn
zo moet liefde zijn
Want liefde hoeft niet zwaar te zijn
benauwend als een boemeltrein
laat haar vliegen al een bij
laat de liefde vrij
laat haar vliegen als een bij
ja, laat de liefde vrij

Baby's Got A Hold On Me
Baby's Got A Hold On Me
Composer(s): Bob Carpenter - Jeff Hanna - Josh Leo
Performer(s): The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Sittin' on the front porch, tryin' to keep still
Date is workin' fine, I got a $50 bill
Pretty blue eyes & it isn't hard to see
My baby's got a hold on me
Long blond hair down the middle of her back
She got the keys to her Daddy's Cadillac
Got every little thing that I'm ever gonna need
Baby's got a hold on me
Got a hold on
Got a hold on me
Got a hold on
Baby's got a hold on me
We got a full tank of gas, lookin' for a thrill
3-day weekend, a lot of time to kill
Put the top down but we're never gonna freeze
'Cause baby's got a hold on me
Got a hold on
Got a hold on me
Got a hold on
Baby's got a hold on me
Hold on!
There's a full moon shinin' on a Carolina night
5 o'clock girl 'cross the interstate line
Gotta catch her waitin' and that's how it's gonna be
'Cause baby's got a hold on me
Got a hold on
Got a hold on me
Got a hold on
Baby's got a hold on me
Got a hold on
Got a hold on me
Got a hold on
Baby's got a hold on me
Baby's got a hold on me
Baby's got a hold on me
Hold on, baby's got a hold on me
Hold on, hold on
Baby's got a hold on me
Hold on, ooo hold on
Baby's got a hold on me
Hold on, hold on
Baby's got a hold on me
Hold on ...

La Recette De L'amour Fou
La Recette De L'amour Fou
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
and multiple other artists
Dans un boudoir introduisez un cœur bien tendre
Sur canapé laissez s'asseoir et se détendre
Versez une larme de porto
Et puis mettez-vous au piano
Jouez Chopin
Avec dédain
Égrenez vos accords
Et s'il s'endort
Alors là, jetez-le dehors
Le second soir faites revenir ce cœur bien tendre
Faites mijoter trois bons quarts d'heure à vous attendre
Et s'il n'est pas encore parti
Soyez-en sûr c'est qu'il est cuit
Sans vous trahir
Laissez frémir
Faites attendre encore
Et s'il s'endort
Alors là, jetez-le dehors
Le lendemain il ne tient qu'à vous d'être tendre
Tamisez toutes les lumières et sans attendre
Jouez la farce du grand amour
Dites "jamais" dites "toujours"
Et consommez
Sur canapé
Mais après les transports
Ah ! s'il s'endort
Alors là, foutez-le dehors

La Raccolta
La Raccolta
Composer(s): Angelo Branduardi
Performer(s): Angelo Branduardi
Calde notti l'estate con sè
ci ha portato già
rossi fuochi hanno acceso
su ogni campo per ballare...
Della raccolta è il dolce tempo
da domani il grano cadrà
e curiosa anche tu
ti chiedi chi ti coglierà...
Son tornati sui campi
in lunghe file per ballare
fino all'alba hai spiato
i loro fuochi da lontano...
Della raccolta è il dolce tempo
la calda estate finita è già...
e curiosa anche tu
aspetti chi ti coglierà...
Sei la spiga più bella
che hanno scordato di tagliare
sei la mela più alta
che nessuno mai raggiungerà...
Passato è il tempo della raccolta
la calda estate finita è già
e curiosa ancora tu
ti chiedi chi ti coglierà...

Feel like
I feel like a gunslinger
Just a wait just a wait just a wait
Waiting to pull trigger
I’m so eager
With my itchy finger
Just can’t wait a just can’t wait
I can’t wait to chase
Babylon the Bandit
Dash him in a bottomless pit, yeh
Babylon
Dash him way in a de pit now
Coming from a den of scavengers
Out they come to steal
To rape the Earth of its beauty
The truth must be revealed
Bring forth Liberation Posse
The chase must now begin
Fire to all downpressors
Death is the wages of sin
Babylon the Bandit
Dash him in a bottomless pit, yeh
Babylon the Bandit
Dash him way in a de pit now
Babylon the Bandit
Dash him in a bottomless pit, yeh
Babylon
Dash him way in a de pit now
Coming from a den of scavengers
Out they come to steal
To rape the Earth of its beauty
The truth must be revealed
Bring forth Liberation Posse
The chase must now begin
Fire to all downpressors
Death is the wages of sin
Babylon the Bandit
Dash him in a bottomless pit, yeh
Babylon
Dash him way in a de pit now
Babylon the Bandit
Dash him in a bottomless pit, yeh
Babylon
Dash him way in a
De bottomless pit, yeh
Their words were smoother than butter
War was in their hearts
Their words were like the softest oil
They made a lie sound real
Watch out
Whip it!
Babylon the Bandit
Dash him in a bottomless pit, yeh
Babylon
Dash him way in a de pit now
Babylon time has caught up on you
Babylon Rasta prophecy true

La Quiero A Morir
La Quiero A Morir
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Raphael
and multiple other artists
Yo que hasta ayer sólo fui un holgazán
Y hoy soy guardián de sus sueños de amor
La quiero a morir
Podéis destruir todo aquello que veis
Porque ella de un soplo lo vuelve a crear
Como si nada, como si nada
La quiero a morir
Ella borra las horas en cada reloj
Y me enseña a pintar transparente el dolor
Con su sonrisa
Y levanta una torre desde el cielo hasta aquí
Me cose unas alas y me ayuda a subir
A toda prisa, a toda prisa
La quiero a morir
Conoce bien cada guerra
Cada herida, cada ser
Conoce bien cada guerra
De la vida y del amor también
Me dibuja un paisaje, me lo hace vivir
En un bosque de lápiz se apodera de mí
La quiero a morir
Y me atrapa en un lazo que no aprieta jamás
Como un hilo de seda que no puedo soltar
Que no quiero soltar, no quiero soltar
La quiero a morir
Cuando trepo a sus ojos me enfrento al mar
Dos espejos de agua encerrada en cristal
La quiero a morir
Sólo puedo sentarme, sólo puedo charlar
Sólo puedo enredarme, sólo puedo aceptar
Ser sólo suyo, tan sólo suyo
Es que la quiero a morir

Babylon Sisters
Babylon Sisters
Composer(s): Walter Becker - Donald Fagen
First release by: Steely Dan - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists
Drive west on Sunset
To the sea
Turn that jungle music down
Just until we're out of town
This is no one night stand
It's a real occasion
Close your eyes and you'll be there
It's everything they say
The end of a perfect day
Distant lights from across the bay
Babylon sisters shake it
Babylon sisters shake it
So fine so young
Tell me I'm the only one
Here come those Santa Ana winds again
We'll jog with show folk on the sand
Drink kirschwasser from a shell
San Francisco show and tell
Well I should know by now
That it's just a spasm
Like a Sunday in T.J.
That it's cheap but it's not free
That I'm not what I used to be
And that love's not a game for three
Babylon sisters shake it
Babylon sisters shake it
So fine so young
Tell me I'm the only one
My friends say no don't go
For that cotton candy
Son you're playing with fire
The kid will live and learn
As he watches his bridges burn
From the point of no return
Babylon sisters shake it
Babylon sisters shake it
So fine so young
Tell me I'm the only one

La Quiero
La Quiero
Composer(s): Emilio del Guercio
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
La quiero porque es como el sol
que sale de noche y de dia
la quiero porque es compañia de mi
en las noches de luna vacia
La quiero porque es para hoy
me quiere empezando de ahora
yo quiero su aurora de grito y sudor
que me cambia segundos por horas
La quiero porque es como mia y tal vez
nunca sepa del todo si es mía
La quiero porque es la canción
que canta a travéz de mi canto
la quiero por tanto deleite de amor
en las noches de sed y de llanto
La quiero porque ella es así
la quiero porque es imposible
yo quiero su mundo sensible y audaz
que atrapó con sus sueños mi vida
La quiero porque es como mia y tal vez
nunca sepa del todo si es mía

La Question
La Question
Composer(s): Françoise Hardy - Tuca
First release by: Françoise Hardy - 1971
Je ne sais pas qui tu peux être
je ne sais pas qui tu espères
je cherche toujours à te connaître
et ton silence trouble mon silence
je ne sais pas d'où vient le mensonge
est-ce de ta voix qui se tait
les mondes où malgré moi je plonge
sont comme un tunnel qui m'effraie
de ta distance à la mienne
on se perd bien trop souvent
et chercher à te comprendre
c'est courir après le vent
je ne sais pas pourquoi je reste
dans une mer où je me noie
je ne sais pas pourquoi je reste
dans un air qui m'étouffera
tu es le sang de ma blessure
tu es le feu de ma brûlure
tu es ma question sans réponse
mon cri muet et mon silence

La Quatrième Chose
Composer(s): J.M. Rivat - F. Thomas - R. Vincent
Performer(s): France Gall
Quand tu reviendras à la maison
Rapporte-moi ces quatre choses
Un simple bouquet de fleurs des champs
Un kilo de pêches, trois paquets de cigarettes
Et puis n'oublie pas que je t'attend
Et que c'est toi la quatrième chose
Toi seul dans ma vie est important
Tu sais quand on aime un retour c'est une fête
Poser ta tête sur mon cou
Me dire que la nuit est à nous
Quand tu reviendras à la maison
N'oublie jamais ces quatre choses
Ta main que tu mets dans mes cheveux
Et puis ton sourire
Et puis tes bras qui m'attirent
Et n'oublie jamais que c'est l'amour
Que c'est l'amour la quatrième chose
Toi seul dans ma vie est important
Tu sais quand on aime un retour c'est une fête
Poser ta tête sur mon cou
Me dire que la nuit est à nous
Poser ta tête sur mon cou
Me dire que la nuit est à nous

Baby You've Been On My Mind

((Swedish Version: Jag Har Tänkt På Dej (by Mikael Wiehe) - 2004))
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Linda Ronstadt - 1969
It might be the color of the sun cut flat
And covering the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
'Cause baby you've been on my mind
I don't mean trouble, please don't put me down
Don't get upset, I am not pleading
Or saying I can't forget you
Well it don't even matter who you awaken with tomorrow
'Cause baby you've been on my mind
When you wake up in the morning baby look inside your mirror
Oh you know I won't be next to you
You know I won't be near
I'll just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on her mind
It might be the color of the sun cut flat
And covering the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
'Cause baby you've been on my mind
Baby you've been on my mind
Baby you've been on my mind

La Puce Et Le Pianiste
La Puce Et Le Pianiste
Composer(s): Yves Duteil
Performer(s): Yves Duteil
Un jour, sur un piano
Une puce élut domicile
Elle posa son sac à dos
Ses affaires de ville
Elle avait beaucoup voyagé
Beaucoup sauté, beaucoup piqué
Et pour ne pas qu'on la voie
Sur une noire, elle s'installa
Mais soudain, la lumière apparut
Des sons frappèrent son oreille
Une main lui marchait dessus
Sa colère fut sans pareille
Elle suivit ses évolutions
Avec des yeux pleins d'attention
Pour essayer de grimper
Sur la main qui l'avait piétinée
Lorsqu'enfin, elle y parvint
Elle affina son aiguille
Et se mit à piquer la main
Tout en dansant le quadrille
Mais, soudain, la main s'agita
Et son rythme s'accéléra
Et la puce tout excitée
De plus belle, se remit à piquer
Dans la douleur et la démangeaison
La main se faisait plus rapide
Ne suivait plus la partition
Et n'avait plus aucun guide
Mais dans la salle on applaudissait
Sans deviner que c'était
Grâce à une puce énervée
Que le jazz était né

Baby You're A Rich Man
Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney
First release by: The Beatles - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
How does it feel to be
One of the beautiful people?
Now that you know who you are
What do you want to be?
And have you travelled very far?
Far as the eye can see
How does it feel to be
One of the beautiful people?
How often have you been there?
Often enough to know
What did you see, when you were there?
Nothing that doesn't show
Baby you're a rich man
Baby you're a rich man
Baby you're a rich man too
You keep all your money in a big brown bag inside a zoo
What a thing to do
Baby you're a rich man
Baby you're a rich man
Baby you're a rich man too
How does it feel to be
One of the beautiful people?
Tuned to A natural E
Happy to be that way
Now that you've found another key
What are you going to play?
Baby you're a rich man
Baby you're a rich man
Baby you're a rich man too
You keep all your money in a big brown bag inside a zoo
What a thing to do
Baby you're a rich man...

Je suis l'homme qui chante et qui danse
Celui qui fait pchitt et boomboom
Je suis le seul dans toute la France
À posséder un super zoom
Je suis le modèle géant
Qui est garanti pour longtemps
Qui ne s'use que si l'on s'en sert
Instantané comm' le dessert
Puisque tout est publicité
Moi j'ai pris la liberté
De fair' ma propre publicité
M'essayer c'est m'adopter
Je suis un génie sans bouillir
La jouvence de vos sourires
Je roule et roucoule pour vous
Je suis l'cactus de Pompidou
Je suis vif comme une tornade blanche
L'ami sincère de vos nuits blanches
Celui de vos jours les plus beaux
L'échelle que j'aime c'est l'escabeau
Puisque tout est publicité
Moi j'ai pris la liberté
De fair' ma propre publicité
M'essayer c'est m'adopter
J'ai du velours sur l'estomac
Et un' peau nette comm' le satin
Je suis le modèl' grand format
Venez donc voir mon magasin
Chez moi le parking est tout prêt
Je n'ai vraiment qu'un seul regret
De ne pas être universel
À l'école des demoiselles
Puisque tout est publicité
Moi j'ai pris la liberté
De fair' ma propre publicité
M'essayer c'est m'adopter
Pour longtemps je vous garantis
L'extrèm' douceur de mes mains
J'fonds dans la bouche, pas dans la main
Je suis le Dutronc d'Isigny
