Beautiful Maria Of My Soul
Beautiful Maria Of My Soul
((Spanish Version: Bella Maria de Mi Alma (by Antonio Banderas))
Composer(s): Robert Kraft - Arne Glimcher
Performer(s): Los Lobos - 1987
and multiple other artists
In the sunlight of your smile
In the summer of our life
In the magic of love
Storms above scattered away
Lovers dreaming in the night
Reaching for paradise
But as the dark shadows fade
Love slips away
On an empty stretch of beach
In the pattern of the waves
Drawing pictures with my hand
In the sand, I see your face
Skipping pebbles on the sea
Wishing for paradise
Sand castles crumble below
The restless tides ebb and flow
Listening to a shell
Hoping for your voice
Beautiful Maria of my soul
Though we'll always be apart
Locked forever in a dream
If I ever love again
Even then, nothing will change
And the taste of you remains
Clinging to paradise
But as the distance from you grows
All that my heart ever knows
Hunger for your kiss
Longing for your touch
Beautiful Maria of my soul
Filling all my nights
Haunting all my days
Beautiful Maria of my soul

Beautiful Love
Beautiful Love
Composer(s): Haven Gillespie - Wayne King - Egbert Van Alstyne - Victor Young
First release by: Helen Merrill - 1955
Covered by multiple other artists
Beautiful love
You are a mystery
Beautiful love
What have you done to me
I was content till you came along
Thrilling me with your song
Beautiful love
I've ruined your paradise
Searching for my dream to realize
Reaching for heaven depending on you
Beautiful love
Will my dreams come true
Reaching for heaven depending on you
Beautiful love
Will my dreams come true

L'arche De Noë
L'arche De Noë
Performer(s): Sheila
C'est incroyable
Chaque fois que nous partons en vacances
On prend toujours trop d'affaires
Mais cette fois-ci pas question
Même si mes enfants me disent
Les animaux n'ont pas de chemise
Pas de robe, pas de valises
Ils nous ont vus faire nos bagages
Ils voudront être du voyage
Qu'est-ce qu'on fait?
On va décider
La chouette et ses lunettes
Quel regard elle a!
- On la prend, dis, maman?
Le lièvre aux grandes oreilles
Gambade déjà
- On le prend, dis, maman?
Le canari qui s'est blessé
On n'peut pas le laisser
Prends-le si tu veux
- On le prends dis maman?
Il guérira mieux
Et ton petit chien Framboise
Frétille déjà
- On le prend, dis maman?
L'agneau plein de bouclettes
Qui dort près de toi
- Prends-le, prends-le maman!
Et sur la route on va penser
C'est l'Arche de Noë
Enfin ça ira
- La plus belle c'est maman
On se serrera
On trouve toujours de la place
Pour ceux qu'on aime
Et si en chemin tombe la pluie
Ce sera comme au Déluge aussi
Le chat et la souris blanche
Qui ne se quittent pas
- On les prend, dis, maman?
Et le canard sauvage, qui le nourrira?
- On le prend, dis maman?
Et sur la route on va penser
C'est l'Arche de Noë
Enfin, ça ira
- La plus belle, c'est maman
On se serrera
La la la la ...
- La plus belle, c'est maman
La la la la ...
- La plus belle, c'est maman
Et sur la route on va penser
C'est l'Arche de Noë
Enfin, ça ira
- La plus belle, c'est maman
Va chercher ton papa
La la la ...
- La plus belle, c'est maman.

Beautiful Loser
Beautiful Loser
Composer(s): Bob Seger
Performer(s): Bob Seger; The Spiny Anteaters
He wants to dream like a young man
With the wisdom of an old man
He wants his home and security
He wants to live like a sailor at sea
Beautiful loser, where you gonna fall?
You realize you just can’t have it all
He’s your oldest and your best friend
If you need him, he’ll be there again
He’s always willing to be second best
A perfect lodger, a perfect guest
Beautiful loser, read it on the wall
And realize, you just can’t have it all
... you can’t have it all, you can’t have it all
Oh, oh, ... can’t have it all
He’ll never make any enemies
He won’t complain if he’s caught in a freeze
He’ll always ask, he’ll always say please
Beautiful loser, never take it all
’cause it’s easier, faster when you fall
You just don’t need it all
Oh, oh, ... you just don’t need it all

L'arc-En-Ciel D'un Quart D'heure
L'arc-En-Ciel D'un Quart D'heure
Performer(s): Georges Brassens
Cet arc-en-ciel qui nous étonne
Quand il se lève après la pluie
S'il insiste, il fait monotone
Et l'on se détourne de lui
L'adage a raison: la meilleure
Chose en traînant se dévalue
L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure
Personne ne l'admire plus
L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure
Est superflu
Celui que l'aura populaire
Avait mis au gouvernail quand
Il fallait sauver la galère
En détresse dans l'ouragan
Passé péril en la demeure
Ne fut même pas réélu
L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure
Personne ne l'admire plus
L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure
Est superflu
Cette adorable créature
Me répétait: "je t'aime tant
Qu'à ta mort, sur ta sépulture
Je me brûle vive à l'instant!"
À mon décès, l'ordonnateur(e)
Des pompes funèbres lui plut
L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure
Personne ne l'admire plus
L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure
Est superflu
Ce cabotin naguère illustre
Et que la foule applaudissait
À tout rompre durant trois lustres
Nul à présent ne sait qui c'est
Aucune lueur ne demeure
De son étoile révolue
L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure
Personne ne l'admire plus.
L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure
Est superflu

Beautiful Girl
Beautiful Girl
Composer(s): James L. Dempsey
I don't know why I call you my dear
I don't know why I feel so sincere
Why do I want you why am I glad
Why am I happy, why am I sad
Why do I smile when I ought to cry
Why do you say good-bye
Why am I yearning, my heart is burning
I know the reason why
You are the dearest you are the best
You are so different from all the rest
I love to gaze in those tender eyes,
A world of wealth is no greater prize
You have a charm that seems to be new
It thrills me thru and thru
Don't leave me lonely
I want you only
Nobody else but you
Beautiful girl
I love you, beautiful girl, I love you
I loved you truly for many a day
There's only one thing that my heart seems to say
Beautiful girl
You haunt me, beautiful girl
I want you I love your eyes
Your smile, your sighs
You beautiful, beautiful girl

L'arbre Va Tomber
L'arbre Va Tomber
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
L'arbre va tomber
Les branches salissaient les murs
Rien ne doit rester
Le monsieur veut garer sa voiture
Nous, on l'avait griffé
Juste pour mettre des flèches et des cœurs
Mais l'arbre va tomber
Le monde regarde ailleurs
L'arbre va tomber
Ça fera de la place au carrefour
L'homme est décidé
Et l'homme est le plus fort, toujours
C'est pas compliqué
Ça va pas lui prendre longtemps
Tout faire dégringoler
L'arbre avec les oiseaux dedans!
Y avait pourtant tellement de gens
Qui s'y abritaient
Et tellement qui s'y abritent encore
Toujours sur nous penché
Quand les averses tombaient
Une vie d'arbre à coucher dehors
L'arbre va tomber
L'homme veut mesurer sa force
Et l'homme est décidé
La lame est déjà sur l'écorce
Y avait pourtant tellement de gens
Qui s'y abritaient
Et tellement qui s'y abritent encore
Toujours sur nous penché
Quand les averses tombaient
Une vie d'arbre à coucher dehors
L'arbre va tomber
On se le partage déjà
Y a rien à regretter
C'était juste un morceau de bois
Un bout de forêt
Avancé trop près des maisons
Et pendant qu'on parlait
L'arbre est tombé pour de bon!
Y avait pourtant tellement de gens
Qui s'y abritaient
Et toutes ces nuits d'hiver
Quand les averses tombaient
T'as dû en voir passer
Des cortèges de paumés
Des orages, des météores
Et toutes ces nuits d'hiver
Quand les averses tombaient
Une vie d'arbre à coucher dehors
À perdre le nord
À coucher dehors... à coucher dehors

Beautiful Daughter
Beautiful Daughter
Composer(s): Roy Wood
Performer(s): The Move
Well it's nice in its way, "Yes", you know, some of it, not uh, not when they go naked
Uh, you are obviously not British people, where are you from? "I'm British
You're British, you were born in Britain
Where is you, where? "Stepney"
Stepney. Nice, um, what are your favorite British pop artists?
Um, well I don't have one anyway
Do you like reggae? It's my music
There we go, running before we can walk again
Can you imagine the hours I keep
Learning to sleep again, see her face again
Blast the world, fruits of the morning...
Carry the weight of the heart in a storm
Suffer the dawn today, today
Your beautiful daughter made me younger yesterday
Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak
The pillow where she lay
Wide awake, lying in wait for the moon to break
Drinking the lake of the dreams that we share
Wanting you there today, today
Your beautiful daughter made me younger yesterday
Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak
The pillow where she lay
Can you believe she just dropped in to say goodbye, say goodbye
I'm crying, beautiful daughter give me more, open the door
Pools in her eyes that are bright and deep
Can you imagine the hours I keep
Learning to sleep again, again
Your beautiful daughter made me younger yesterday
Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak
The pillow where she lay
Your beautiful daughter made me younger yesterday
Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak
The pillow where she lay
Beautiful daughter give me more, open the door
Your beautiful daughter made me younger yesterday
Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak
The pillow where she lay ...

Laramie
Laramie
Composer(s): Cyril J. Mockridge - Bill Olafson
Performer(s): Geoff Love; Los Aragon
Stranger ride carefully
Stay 'way from your gun
There's danger in Laramie
For men on the run
Your gray eyes shift warily
There's no room here for you
Just stay wise, this is Laramie
Keep traveling on through
Faster guns than yours
Have made the foolish play
The next time that you draw
May be the last
We're a peaceful town
We aim to stay that way
Our justice isn't fancy
But it's fast

Beautiful Child
Beautiful Child
Composer(s): Stevie Nicks
Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac
and multiple other artists
Beautiful child
Beautiful child
You are a beautiful child
And I am a fool once more
You fell in love when I was only ten
The years disappeared
Much has gone by since then
I bite my lip, can you send me away
You touch
I have no choice
I have to stay
I had to stay
Sleepless child
There is so little time
Your eyes say yes
But you don't say yes
I wish that you were mine
You say it will be harder in the morning
I wait for you to say, just go
Your hands, held mine so few hours
And I'm not a child anymore
I'm not a child anymore
I'm tall enough
To reach for the stars
I'm old enough
To love you from afar
To trusting... yes?
But then women usually are
I'm not a child anymore
No, I'm not a child, oh no
Tall enough to reach for the stars
I will do
As I'm told
Even if I never hold you again
I never hold you again

Pour voir la merde du monde
À quoi bon

Qui me dit le regard triste
Toi je t'aime, les autres ce sont
Tous des cons

Beautiful But Dumb
Beautiful But Dumb
Composer(s): Lonnie Johnson
Performer(s): Lonnie Johnson
To marry a beautiful woman these days
Is just like a murder crime
To marry a beautiful woman these days
Is just like a murder crime
If you lookin' for a real good woman
Boy you just wastin' time
First she don't know how to sweeten your coffee
She can't even make up your bed
She don't know how to sweeten your coffee
She can't make up your bed
She can't even roast your meat
And how she mess up your bread
Next she can't bake cornbread
She can't even boil beef stew
She can't even bake cornbread
She can't boil beef stew
Man if your woman is beautiful and dumb
That don't mean a thing to you
My gal baked me some bread this morning
The bread refused to rise
My gal baked me some bread this morning
The bread refused to rise
The crust was tough on the bread
Was as the rubber on a Maxwell tyre
Some men crave beautiful women
But in my life it's not worthwile
Some men crave beautiful women
But in my life it's not worthwile
After all they're just beautiful
Ain't got sense of a newborn child

L'aquila
L'aquila
Composer(s): Lucio Battisti - Mogol
First release by: Lucio Battisti - 1972
Il fiume va
guardo più in là
un'automobile corre
e lascia dietro sé
del fumo grigio e me
e questo verde mondo
indifferente perché
da troppo tempo ormai
apre le braccia a nessuno
come me che ho bisogno
di qualche cosa di più
che non puoi darmi tu
un'auto che va
basta già a farmi chiedere se io vivo
Mezz'ora fa
mostravi a me
la tua bandiera d'amore
che amore poi non è
e mi dicevi che
che io dovrei cambiare
per diventare come te
che ami solo me
ma come un'aquila può
diventare aquilone
che sia legata oppure no
non sarà mai di cartone no
cosa son io non so
ma un'auto che va
basta già a farmi chiedere se io vivo
basta già a farmi chiedere se io vivo
Il fiume va sa dove andare
guardo più in là in cerca d'amore
un'automobile corre non ci son nuove terre
e lascia dietro sé
del fumo grigio e me
e questo verde mondo nel quale mi confondo
indifferente perché
da troppo tempo ormai
apre le braccia a nessuno
come me che ho bisogno
di qualche cosa di più
che non puoi darmi tu
un'auto che va basta già a farmi chiedere se io vivo

and multiple other artists
Beautiful, beautiful brown eyes
Beautiful, beautiful brown eyes
Beautiful, beautiful brown eyes
I'll never love blue eyes again
Willie, I love you, my Darlin'
I love you with all my heart
Tomorrow we might have been married
But ramblin' has kept us apart
Beautiful, beautiful brown eyes
Beautiful, beautiful brown eyes
Beautiful, beautiful brown eyes
I'll never love blue eyes again
Down through the barroom he staggered
And fell down by the door
The very last words that he uttered
I'll never see brown eyes no more
Beautiful, beautiful brown eyes
Beautiful, beautiful brown eyes
Beautiful, beautiful brown eyes
I'll never love blue eyes again

L'apparenza
L'apparenza
Performer(s): Lucio Battisti
Quindi facendo finta
che non sai parlare
ti metti un dito in bocca, l'anulare
Dirigi una quinta qualsiasi
sposti tre vasi come le tre carte
mi metti a parte di una confidenza
senza vocali e senza consonanti
tiri con gli occhi chiusi sull'atlante
l'indice come un pulsante
accende una nazione in cui mi sa
che a quest'ora è notte piena o molto nuvoloso
pieghi la schiena
cali il tuo sipario di capelli
sopra l'armamentario voluttuario
quindi ti sollevi in mulinelli
dall'indaco e il blu di Prussia profondissimi
Ti rilassi bussando
tristemente assorta sopra una porta
che non c'è per niente la spingi che era aperta
mi racconti come un capogiro
i fatti i posti pieni di respiro
mi presenti un regalo
ed attraverso ci vedo
le tue mani contenenti
lo scarti prima sciogli
questi fiocchetti inestricabili
ti imbrogli e fai cadere e credere
in un danno incalcolabile e l'aria vulnerabile raccogli
incolli l'invisibile
e d'improvviso scrolli in gocce questa scena
fai la feroce coi baffi che non hai da puma
sulle guance gonfiate fai la precoce
Che scarica un gran volume
d'indolenza incendiaria
quindi sei l'avversaria di un arioso colosso pugilatore
poi mormori indecenze
senza parole a un confessore
lo respingi in sequenza d'inseguimento
infili il balcone ti scansi di lato
fai la ricognizione
se ha fatto centro il precipitato
Rientri con cavalli fragorosi e salti di delfini
tra marosi

Beautiful Boys
Beautiful Boys
Composer(s): Yoko Ono
Performer(s): John Lennon & Yoko Ono
You're a beautiful boy
With all your little toys
Your eyes have seen the world
Though you're only four years old
And your tears are streaming
Even when you're smiling
Please never be afraid to cry
You're a beautiful boy
With all your little ploys
Your mind has changed the world
And you're now forty years old
You got all you can carry
And still feel somehow empty
Don't ever be afraid to fly
All you beautiful boys
Creating multiple plays
You like to fence in your world
And settle down when you're old
You can run from pole to pole
And never scratch your soul
Don't be afraid to go to hell and back
Don't be afraid to go to hell and back
Don't be afraid to be afraid

Close your eyes
Have no fear
The monster's gone
He's on the run and your daddy's here
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It's getting better and better
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Out on the ocean sailing away
I can hardly wait
To see you come of age
But I guess we'll both just have to be patient
'Cause it's a long way to go
A hard row to hoe
Yes it's a long way to go
But in the meantime
Before you cross the street
Take my hand
Life is what happens to you
While you're busy making other plans
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It's getting better and better
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
