L'âge D'aimer


L'âge D'aimer
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



L'âge d'aimer, ça n'a pas d'âge
Quinze ans, quarante ou davantage
Tant que le cœur bat dans sa cage
On a l'âge d'aimer

C'est l'âge des années frivoles
Où soudain la raison s'affole
Lorsque le corps prend la parole
On a l'âge d'aimer

Si ta couleur n'est pas la mienne
Si mon âge est distant du tien
On s'aimera quoi qu'il advienne
Nous avons l'âge de nos veines
Et l'amour est notre destin

Qui sait où commence, où s'arrête
L'âge puéril, l'âge un peu bête
Gravé dans nos cœurs et nos têtes
L'âge d'aimer
L'âge d'aimer

Lorsque, oubliant ses différences
Le corps veut vivre ses violences,
La peau souffrant ses impatiences,
On a l'âge d'aimer

À l'âge où le désir nous rive
Quand la raison perd sa dérive
Au cri d'un "qui m'aime me suive"
On a l'âge d'aimer

Vois notre sol devient nuage
On a l'enfance au fond des yeux
Quand on aime on a le même âge
Le cœur fomente des orages
Et l'amour joue avec le feu

Quinze ans, quarante ou davantage
De voyage en vagabondage
Quand je devrai, tournant la page
Émigrer de l'âge d'aimer,
Je n'aurai plus aucun courage
Je serai plus vieux que le temps,
Aussi c'est désespérément
Qu'avec toi je m'agrippe à l'âge
Mon amour, à l'âge d'aimer

Bang Went The Chance Of A Lifetime


Bang Went The Chance Of A Lifetime Performer(s): George Robey



Now old aunt Rebecca is rich She's the Dowager Duchess of Diddle When she dies I inherit a million or so But the old girl's as fit as a fiddle Whilst gunning the moors on the twelfth In a quiet lonely spot by the sea I saw someone there by the cliff, I declare 'Twas the Dowager Duchess of D! At that critical moment some birds came in sight So I upped with my gun and I blazed left and right And I nearly hit auntie! Yes-nearly, not quite! And bang went the chance of a lifetime 'Twas a pity, I say, 'twas a pity, I might have struck her with one of the pellets-however Returning one night from a ball In a mellowish mood and reflective I saw a strange light in a bank-I said, "Ha! Like that, "Ha!" I'll play Sherlock Holmes the detective" A half-open window I spied And inside I proceeded to slip There a burglar I saw forcing wide the safe door So I held him in muscular grip! But he slipped and he bunked, he was wiry and thin And the safe was wide open and slap full of "tin"! I drew a deep breath-then two coppers rushed in! And bang went the chance of a lifetime 'Twas a pity, I say, 'twas a pity, I might have got some of the, er, however Oh, I hardly like to tell you the, er, personal, however Now the wife and her mother (Oh, the mother!), last June Went to stay with the Marquis de Caxey (She's alright, too) So I saw them safe off in a taxi At somewhere about ten o'clock Came a telegram-Heavens alive! Poor dear Ma and the wife! Fearful smash! Loss of life! Total wreck of the eight-forty-five! 'Twas a terrible crash, eighty passengers slain! And I manfully struggled my tears to restrain When the ghastly news reached me-they'd both missed the train! And bang went the chance of a lifetime! Once I courted a sweet winsome wench She was nineteen and also an heiress (It's nice when a girl is a Venus galore And also a millionairess!) I wooed her, I wooed, I won (Wow, wow) "My darling," she said, "I am thine!" She swore she'd be true (Get away!) So I thought I would too What do you think? I thought it was fine! My sweet Hyacinth, fairest of flowers that blow! (With a millionaire Pa in Chicago, what ho!) So I put up the banns, then the wife got to know And bang went the chance of a lifetime

L'affiche Rouge


L'affiche Rouge
Composer(s): Louis Aragon - Léo Ferré
Performer(s): Léo Ferré
and multiple other artists



Vous n'avez réclamé ni gloire ni les larmes
Ni l'orgue ni la prière aux agonisants
Onze ans déjà que cela passe vite onze ans
Vous vous étiez servis simplement de vos armes
La mort n'éblouit pas les yeux des Partisans

Vous aviez vos portraits sur les murs de nos villes
Noirs de barbe et de nuit hirsutes menaçants
L'affiche qui semblait une tache de sang
Parce qu'à prononcer vos noms sont difficiles
Y cherchait un effet de peur sur les passants

Nul ne semblait vous voir Français de préférence
Les gens allaient sans yeux pour vous le jour durant
Mais à l'heure du couvre-feu des doigts errants
Avaient écrit sous vos photos Morts Pour La France
Et les mornes matins en étaient différents

Tout avait la couleur uniforme du givre
A la fin février pour vos derniers moments
Et c'est alors que l'un de vous dit calmement
Bonheur à tous Bonheur à ceux qui vont survivre
Je meurs sans haine en moi pour le peuple allemand

Adieu la peine et le plaisir Adieu les roses
Adieu la vie adieu la lumière et le vent
Marie-toi sois heureuse et pense à moi souvent
Toi qui vas demeurer dans la beauté des choses
Quand tout sera fini plus tard en Erivan

Un grand soleil d'hiver éclaire la colline
Que la nature est belle et que le cœur me fend
La justice viendra sur nos pas triomphants
Ma Mélinée ô mon amour mon orpheline
Et je te dis de vivre et d'avoir un enfant

Ils étaient vingt et trois quand les fusils fleurirent
Vingt et trois qui donnaient le cœur avant le temps
Vingt et trois étrangers et nos frères pourtant
Vingt et trois amoureux de vivre à en mourir
Vingt et trois qui criaient la France en s'abattant

Laetitia


Laetitia
Composer(s): Jean-Pierre Lang - François de Roubaix
Performer(s): Alain Delon



Laetitia je ne savais pas
Que tu étais tout pour moi
Un oiseau chantait tout près de moi
Mais je ne l'entendais pas
Et tu vivais innocente, éphémère
Tu habillais nos printemps de chimère

Laetitia je ne savais pas
Que la vie n'est rien sans toi
L'oiseau fragile un jour s'est abattu
La mort ne l'a pas rendu
Et tu reposes dans le bleu de la mer
Toi qui colorais de bleu nos chimères

Un oiseau chantait près de moi
Jamais il ne reviendra
Laetitia, non je ne savais pas
J'étais amoureux de toi!

Rachel, oh Rachel
I should have known
You were never my own
But I love you
Oh how I love you!

Rachel, oh Rachel
Hands soft and white
But a soul black as night!
Yet I love you
Oh how I love you!

You take the heart of a man
When he's a slave to your charms
Laugh and enjoy him
Slowly destroy him
And dance, dance, dance, right out of his arms!

Rachel, oh Rachel
What evil star
Led you here from afar
To love me
Only to leave me
Leave me alone?

Slowly destroy him
And dance, dance, dance, right out of his arms!

Led you here from afar

Bang The Drum All Day


Bang The Drum All Day Composer(s): Todd Rundgren First release by: Todd Rundgren - 1983 Covered by multiple other artists



I don't want to work
I wan' bang on the drum all day
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day

Ever since I was a tiny boy
I don't want no candy
I don't need no toy
I took a stick and an old coffee can
I pound on that thing 'till I got
Blisters on my hand because

When I get older they think I'm a fool
The teacher told me I should stay after school
She caught me pounding on the desk with my hands
But my licks was so hot
I made the teacher wanna dance
And that's why

Every day when I get home from work
I feel frustrated
The boss is a jerk
And I get my sticks and go out to the shed
And I pound on the drum
like it was the boss's head because

Rusty Hinge


Rusty Hinge
Composer(s): Lew Brown
Performer(s): Louis Jordan & Chick Webb



Rusty hinge on the bench
Never satisfied with what I've got
I'm a good for nothin' rusty hinge
Always cringe!

I'll be drinkin' my corn
Till Gabriel blows his horn!
That music gets me swinging
Maybe I don't know
What it means to swing
Baby, I don't care
When I open my mouth and start to swing!

Rusty hinge on a bench
Never satisfied with what I've got
I'm a good for nothin' rusty hinge!

This Guitar Is For Sale


This Guitar Is For Sale
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein - Fred Koller
First release by: Bobby Bare - 1978



This guitar is for sale, I'll let her go cheap
She's pretty to look at but she don't earn her keep
She can roar like the west wind, she can weep, she can wail
But the tunes that she plays just ain't sellin' today
This guitar is for sale.

She lay close beside me on cold winter nights
She's got me in trouble and she won me some fights
We both come out all right
She knows all the sad songs that Hank ever wrote
Just touch her once gently and she'll take you on home
She'll tell you some stories 'bout junk yards and jails
And a fool with a song and a dream that went wrong
This guitar is for sale.

She's rode cross this country on freight trains and trucks
On 'round pawnshop windows when we're down on our luck
We been down on our luck
So please treat her kind, keep her out of the rain
It's funny you're askin', I never gave her a name
But if you say she looks weary, you been readin' our mail
So if you got the dough buddy take her and go
This guitar is for sale.

She's won me some ladies with her sweet lovin' songs
And she's stuck right here with me when the ladies were gone
And the ladies are gone
But hard times and trouble been doggin' our tail
So if you got the dough buddy take her and go
This guitar is for sale...

quindici anni aveva lei
ricordo quando mi baciò

bang bang, di colpo lei
bang bang, lei si voltò
bang bang, lei mi baciò
bang bang, e a terra mi lasciò

Sempre al mondo ci sarà
chi quei colpi sparerà
Sempre al mondo ci sarà
chi quei colpi sparerà

A vent'anni all'improvviso
senza dir perché né dove
se ne andata lei mi ha ucciso
come fosse un colpo al cuor

bang bang, di colpo lei
bang bang, lei si voltò
bang bang, lei se ne andò
bang bang, e a terra mi lasciò

Performer(s): Sheila - 1966
and multiple other artists



Nous avions dix ans à peine
Tous nos jeux étaient les mêmes
Aux gendarmes et aux voleurs
Tu me visais droit au cœur
Bang bang, tu me tuais
Bang bang, et je tombais
Bang bang, et ce bruit-là
Bang bang, je ne l'oublierai pas

Nous avons grandi ensemble
On s'aimait bien il me semble
Mais tu n'avais de passion
Que pour tes jeux de garçon
Bang bang, tu t'amusais
Bang bang, je te suivais
Bang bang, et ce bruit-là
Bang bang, je ne l'oublierai pas

Un jour tu as eu vingt ans
Il y avait déjà longtemps
Que l'amour avait remplacé
Notre amitié du passé
Et quand il en vint une autre
On ne sait à qui la faute
Tu ne m'avais jamais menti
Avec elle tu es parti
Bang bang, tu m'as quittée
Bang bang, je suis restée
Bang bang, et ce bruit-là
Bang bang, je ne l'oublierai pas

Quand j'aperçois des enfants
Se poursuivre en s'amusant
Et faire semblant de se tuer
Je me sens le cœur serré
Bang bang, je me souviens
Bang bang, tout me revient
Bang bang, et ce bruit-là
Bang bang, je ne l'oublierai pas

Troubadour Song


Troubadour Song
Composer(s): Louis Pippa
Performer(s): Burl Ives



Do you happen to know of a maiden in need
Of a sweetheart? Here's one who is anxious to plead
It's a shame that a handsome young fellow like me
Should be left while the nightingale sings in the tree
It's a shame that a handsome young fellow like me
Should be left while the nightingale sings in the tree

In the wood and the meadow, beneath the bright moon
Every lad with his lass makes the most of the June
The world's gone a-wooing, excepting of me
While the nightingale sings to his mate in the tree
The world's gone a-wooing, excepting of me
While the nightingale sings to his mate in the tree

The time, it is short, there is none I can spare
For the nightingale's song will soon die in the air
Don't you think, dearest Phyllis, you'd better agree
To make love while the nightingale sings in the tree?
Don't you think, dearest Phyllis, you'd better agree
To make love while the nightingale sings in the tree?

Der Junge Mit Der Mundharmonika


Der Junge Mit Der Mundharmonika
Performer(s): Christian Anders



Da war ein Traum, der so alt ist, wie die Welt
Und der ihn traeumt, hoert ihm zu, der ihn erzaehlt

Der Junge mit der Mundharmonika
singt von dem, was einst geschah
in silbernen Traeumen
von der Barke mit der glaesernen Fracht
die in sternenklarer Nacht
Deiner Traurigkeit entflieht

Du hoerst sein Lied und ein Engel steht im Raum
Dann weißt du nicht, ist es Wahrheit oder Traum

Der Junge mit der Mundharmonika
singt von dem, was einst geschah
in silbernen Traeumen
von der Barke mit der glaesernen Fracht
die in sternenklarer Nacht
Deiner Traurigkeit entflieht

Der Junge mit der Mundharmonika

You've got me girl on the run around run around
You've got me all around town
You've got me girl on the run around
And it's getting me down, getting me down
Lady if you want to find a lover
Then you look no further
For I'm gonna be your only
Searching at the start of the season
And my only reason
Is that I´ll get to you
I´ll find some way of connection
Hiding my intention
Then I´ll move up close to you
I´ll use you and I´ll confuse you
And then I´ll lose you
Still you won't suspect me

Lady-O
Performer(s): The Turtles



While you sit and seek a crescent moon is laying
At your feet
With hope that's made of sand
It don't think you can
But you have held it all in your hands

I've been trying hard to keep from needing you
But from the start
My heart just rolled and flowed
I've seen where it goes
Still somehow my love for you grows, Lady-0

So on my heels I'll grow wings
Gonna ride silver strings
But I'll see you in my holiest dreams, Lady-0

(repeat chorus)

I've been trying hard to keep from needing you
But from the start
My heart just rolled and flowed
I've seen where it goes

Still somehow my love for you grows, Lady-O
So on my heels I'll grow wings
Gonna ride silver strings
But I'll see you in my holiest dreams, Lady-O
