Lassie



One still night among the silent hills
I learned a secret that I will share with you
In the hush, I heard the whippoorwills reveal
The Secret of the Silent Hills

Not a secret men scheme and plot for
Only true words, we should not forget
"Love can cure the world of all its ills"
And that's the Secret of the Silent Hills

Because We're Young


Because We're Young
Performer(s): Ral Donner



Because we're young, we want to live
And we must teach our heart strings
How to bend and give
Because we're young, when life is green
If your heart should be broken
Hold on to your dreams
While we're coming of age, dear
Heartaches it may bring
Soon we'll be passed that stage dear
Let's go out and have our frees
Because we're young, when love is new
As we search for tomorrow
Hold me close to you
So come what may, let's live each day
Songs are song, life is singin'
Because we're young

L'assassinat


L'assassinat
((Italian Version: Delitto Di Paese (Fabrizio De André) - 1965))
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
First release by: Georges Brassens - 1962



C'est pas seulement à Paris
Que le crime fleurit
Nous, au village, aussi, l'on a
De beaux assassinats

Il avait la tête chenue
Et le cœur ingénu
Il eut un retour de printemps
Pour une de vingt ans

Mais la chair fraîch', la tendre chair
Mon vieux, ça coûte cher
Au bout de cinq à six baisers
Son or fut épuisé

Quand sa menotte elle a tendue
Triste, il a répondu
Qu'il était pauvre comme Job
Elle a remis sa rob'

Elle alla quérir son coquin
Qu'avait l'appât du gain
Sont revenus chez le grigou
Faire un bien mauvais coup

Et pendant qu'il le lui tenait
Elle l'assassinait
On dit que, quand il expira
La langue ell' lui montra

Mirent tout sens dessus dessous
Trouvèrent pas un sou
Mais des lettres de créanciers
Mais des saisies d'huissiers

Alors, prise d'un vrai remords
Elle eut chagrin du mort
Et, sur lui, tombant à genoux,
Ell' dit: "Pardonne-nous!"

Quand les gendarm's sont arrivés
En pleurs ils l'ont trouvée
C'est une larme au fond des yeux
Qui lui valut les cieux

Et le matin qu'on la pendit
Ell' fut en paradis
Certains dévots, depuis ce temps
Sont un peu mécontents

C'est pas seulement à Paris
Que le crime fleurit
Nous, au village, aussi, l'on a
De beaux assassinats

Because We Both Are Young


Because We Both Are Young
Composer(s): Tom Bahler; Harry Shannon
Performer(s): The DeFranco Family



Because we both are young, they say we're not in love
But what do they know of this feeling that we share
I wish that I could find a way to tell them
we're so much more than friends
And how much we really care for one another

Because we both are young, they just don't understand
They say the things we've planned are only foolish dreams
But, girl, they just don't know the way
we feel when we're all alone
Or just talkin' on the telephone, so close together

I don't know what they're thinkin' of
Do they think that love is just for them all alone?
No matter what they say, we're gonna stay
together, and whatever, we'll do fine on our own

So, let them say that we'll grow up
and leave this all behind
But, girl, they must be blind
to the light in your eyes

But we don't need to prove a thing
to anyone, for we have just begun
And the best part of our lives is now
and all because, because we both are young

(repeat)

Delitto Di Paese


Delitto Di Paese
((Adapted from: L'assassinat (Georges Brassens) - 1962))
Composer(s): Georges Brassens - Fabrizio De André
Performer(s): Fabrizio De André - 1965



Non tutti nella capitale
sbocciano i fiori del male
qualche assassinio senza pretese
lo abbiamo anche noi in paese

Qualche assassinio senza pretese
lo abbiamo anche noi qui in paese

Aveva il capo tutto bianco
ma il cuore non ancor stanco
gli ritornò a battere in fretta
per una giovinetta

Gli ritornò a battere in fretta
per una giovinetta

Ma la sua voglia troppo viva
subito gli esauriva
in quattro baci e una carezza
l'ultima giovinezza

In quattro baci e una carezza
l'ultima giovinezza

Quando la mano lei gli tese
triste lui le rispose
d'essere povero in bolletta
lei si rivestì in fretta

D'essere povero in bolletta
lei si rivestì in fretta

E andò a cercare il suo compagno
partecipe del guadagno
e ritornò col protettore
dal vecchio truffatore

E ritornò col protettore
dal vecchio truffatore

Mentre lui fermo lo teneva
sei volte lo accoltellava
dicon che quando lui spirò
la lingua lei gli mostrò

Dicon che quando lui spirò
la lingua lei gli mostrò
Misero tutto sotto sopra
senza trovare un soldo
ma solo un mucchio di cambiali
e di atti giudiziari

Ma solo un mucchio di cambiali
e di atti giudiziari

Allora presi dallo sconforto
e dal rimpianto del morto
si inginocchiaron sul poveruomo
chiedendogli perdono

Si inginocchiaron sul poveruomo
chiedendogli perdono

Quando i gendarmi sono entrati
piangenti li han trovati
fu qualche lacrima sul viso
a dargli il paradiso

Fu qualche lacrima sul viso
a dargli il paradiso

E quando furono impiccati
volarono fra i beati
qualche beghino di questo fatto
fu poco soddisfatto

Qualche beghino di questo fatto
fu poco soddisfatto

Non tutti nella capitale
sbocciano i fiori del male
qualche assassinio senza pretese
lo abbiamo anche noi in paese

Qualche assassinio senza pretese
lo abbiamo anche noi qui in paese

Because The Night


Because The Night
Composer(s): Patti Smith; Bruce Springsteen
Performer(s): Patti Smith
and various other artists



Take me now baby here as I am
Hold me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed

Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take my hand come undercover
They can't hurt you now,
Can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

Have I doubt when I'm alone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed until the morning comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand as the sun descends
They can't touch you now
Can't touch you now, can't touch you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

With love we sleep
With doubt the vicious circle
Turns and burns
Without you I cannot live
Forgive, the yearning burning
I believe it's time, too real to feel
So touch me now, touch me now, touch me now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

Because tonight there are two lovers
If we believe in the night we trust
Because tonight there are two lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

L'assassin Assassiné


L'assassin Assassiné
Composer(s): Jean-Loup Dabadie - Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc



C'était un jour à la maison
Je voulais faire une chanson
D'amour peut-être
À côté de la fenêtre
Quelqu'un que j'aime et qui m'aimait
Lisait un livre de Giono
Et moi penché sur mon piano
Comm' sur un établi magique
J'essayais d'ajuster les mots
À ma musique...

Le matin même, à la Santé
Un homme... un homme avait été
Exécuté...
Et nous étions si tranquilles
Là, au cœur battant de la ville
C'était un' fin d'après-midi
À l'heure où les ombres fidèles
Sortant peu à peu de chez elles
Composent doucement la nuit
Comm' aujourd'hui...

Ils sont venus à pas de loup
Ils lui ont dit d'un ton doux
C'est le jour... C'est l'heure
Ils les a regardés sans couleur
Il était à móitié nu
Voulez-vous écrire une lettre
Il a dit oui... il n'a pas pu
Il a pris une cigarette...

Sur mon travail tombait le soir
Mais les mots restaient dans le noir
Qu'on me pardonne
Mais on ne peut certains jours
Écrire des chansons d'amour
Alors j'ai fermé mon piano
Parol's et musiqu' de personne
Et j'ai pensé à ce salaud
Au sang lavé sur le pavé
Par ses bourreaux
Je ne suis président de rien
Moi je ne suis qu'un musicien
Je le sais bien...
Et je ne prends pas de pose
Pour dir' seulement cette chose
Messieurs les assassins commencent
Oui, mais la Société recommence
Le sang d'un condamné à mort
C'est du sang d'homme, c'en est encore
C'en est encore...

Chacun son tour, ça n'est pas drôle
On lui donn' deux trois paroles
Et un peu... d'alcool...
On lui parle, on l'attache, on le cache
Dans la cour un grand dais noir
Protège sa mort des regards
Et puis ensuite... ça va très vite
Le temps que l'on vous décapite

Si je demande qu'on me permette
À la place d'une chanson
D'amour peut-être
De vous chanter un silence
C'est que ce souvenir me hante
Lorsque le couteau est tombé
Le crime a changé de côté
Ci-gît ce soir dans ma mémoire
Un assassin assassiné
Assassiné...

Because Of You

Performer(s): Tony Bennett

Because of you there's a song in my heart
Because of you my romance had its start
Because of you the sun will shine
The moon and stars will say you're mine
Forever and never to part

I only live for your love and your kiss
It's paradise to be near you like this
Because of you my life is now worthwhile
And I can smile
Because of you

I only live for your love and your kiss
It's paradise to be near you like this
Because of you my life is now worthwhile
And I can smile
Because of you

Las Tardes Del Sol, Las Noches Del Agua


Las Tardes Del Sol, Las Noches Del Agua
Performer(s): Fito Páez



Todas las tardes del sol, todas las noches del agua
todas las cosas perdían color, todo en el aire flotaba
niña bonita, mi amor
qué es ésa cabeza gacha
todos preguntan que hicimos con vos
porque no come ni habla

Algo andará pasando, andará rondando por Villaguay...

Hay un extraño fulgor
entre las flores del alba
ella se esconde y sus ojos no ven
ya no hay registro de nada...
hasta que un día después, algo cambió en su mirada
sólo repite una frase en inglés, ojos de india sagrada...

Y ella no quiso ver sus caras de terror
lloraba eternamente sola
I love you, love you so
la desesperación, los gritos del horror
Santa Rosa de Lima abandonó su corazón,
y el pueblo decidió que había una razón,
sonaron las campanas
era la furia de dios
el mal tomó su piel, también tomó su voz
nunca aprendió el inglés
el exorcismo será hoy, I love you, love you so
I love you, love you so

Algo andará pasando, andará rodando por Villaguay...

Because Of Rain


Because Of Rain
Composer(s): Nat King Cole; William O. Harrington; Ruth Poll
Performer(s): Nat King Cole; Ella Fitzgerald



Because of rain I fell in love with you
The raindrops seem to want to help me, too
Because of rain we stayed indoors and watched it pour
That’s how I found the one that I adore
Because of rain we stole a kiss or two
The cloudy day gave way to skies of blue
We must thank the misty, moisty windowpane
We found our love because of rain

Because of rain we stole a kiss or two
The cloudy day gave way to skies of blue
We must thank the misty, moisty windowpane
We found our love because of rain

Las Ruinas


Las Ruinas
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Los caldeos, los asirios, la Roma del poder
supieron resumir mejor
lo helenos, los egipcios, los hijos de Israel
ya estaban conversado del amor
Hubo templos y ciudades sólo para adorar
el culto del alma y la piel
hubo diosas seductoras y bosque para amar
y hasta la guerra hubo por una mujer

¿Qué te podría decir desde hoy?
¿Qué ceremonia podría venerar?
Siglos pesados como coliseos
aplastan cualquier invención
Hay piedras, hay ruinas oyéndome hablar
oyendo decir: te amo, te amo
Palabras que han cruzado el desierto entre dos
circundaron la tierra y volvieron del sol
...te amo, te amo...

Después de pasado tanto, no puede importar
que ponga un dedo en el amor
que me guste observarte a través del cristal
de un vaso dibujado con color
Es lo que nos han dejado. Me debo conformar
con la simpleza de querer
me dedico a poner flores alrededor de ti
y palmo a palmo a bendecir tu piel

El siglo XX no da tiempo a más
en su corriente se ahogan las ruinas
Mas el torbellino se para a momentos
y hay calma y hay contemplación
Entonces las ruinas pueden escuchar
pueden sonreír: te amo, te amo...

Cuelgan de las palabras
sargazos del mar
Son cristales de la nieve y sabor de la sal
...te amo, te amo...
Del polvo de las ruinas se levanta el amor
polvo que se respira y de nuevo voló

Because Of Love


Because Of Love
Composer(s): Ruth Batchelor; Bob Roberts
Originally performed by: Elvis Presley
Covered by: Billy Fury



Because of love, I`m a hundred feet tall
I can bounce this world like a little old ball
The heaven and earth are now all mine
I`ve jumped to the moon from cloud number nine
Because, because, because, because of love
Because of love, I`m a mighty big man
I hold the sun in the palm of my hand
Just one leap I can cross the seas
Jump over mountains and fly over trees
Because, because, because, because of love
Well I found love, I found love
That`s all that I can say
Oh I`ll never, never, I`ll never, never
Never let it get away
Because of love, I`m the happiest guy
And life is sweet as cherry cream pie
Well heaven and earth are now all mine
I`ve jumped to the moon from cloud number nine
Because, because, because, because of love
Because, because, because, because of love

Las Rejas No Matan


Las Rejas No Matan
Composer(s): Tomás Mendez Sosa
Performer(s): Javier Solís



Si hasta en mi propia cara
coqueteabas mi vida
qué sería a mis espaldas
y yo preso por ti

Unos guardias me han dicho
que ya tú andas perdida
y que ya ni te acuerdas
lo que hiciste de mí

Qué rumbo tomaste mi vida
qué puerta a tu paso se abrió
qué luna te espera angustiada
oyendo tu nombre, oyendo mi voz

Qué labios te cierran los ojos
los ojos que a besos cerré
auroras que son puñaladas
las rejas no matan pero sí tu maldito querer

Qué labios te cierran los ojos
los ojos que a besos cerré
auroras que son puñaladas
las rejas no matan pero sí tu maldito querer

A rose in Harlem starts to bloom
The world is like a toy balloon
I hear a love song and I cry
And I know why

Because I love you, girl
Because I love you, girl
You know there's nothing in the world that I wouldn't do
Nothing in the world that I wouldn't do
For you because I love you

If you ask me for the moon
Of course I'd show up the moon
No matter what you ask I'll try
And you know why

Because I love you, girl
Because I love you, girl
You know there's nothing in the world that I wouldn't do
Nothing in the world that I wouldn't do
For you because I love you

Because I Love You (Shakin' Stevens)


Because I Love You
Composer(s): Gordon Campbell
Performer(s): Shakin' Stevens



If I got down on my knees and I pleaded with you
If I crossed a million oceans just to be with you
Would you ever let me down?

If I climbed the highest mountain just to hold you tight
If I said that I would love you every single night
Would you ever let me down?

Well, I'm sorry if it sounds kind of sad
It's just that I'm worried
So worried that you'll let me down

Because I love you
Love you
Love you, so don't let me down

If I swam the longest river just to call your name
If I said the way I feel for you would never change
Would you ever fool around?

Well, I'm sorry if it sounds kind of bad
Just that I'm worried
'Cos I'm so worried that you'll let me down

Because I
(love you love you)
Love you, love you

Well I'm sorry if it sounds kind of bad
Just that I'm worried,
'Cos I'm so worried that you'll let me down

Because I love you, love you
Oooooh, I love you
Love you
Love you

Las palabras mas corrientes que parecen sin valor
Tienen su grandeza siempre porque son tambièn de amor

A la gente que ya no veremos màs

Las palabras màs corrientes que parecen sin valor
Tienen su grandeza siempre porque son tambien de amor
El tendero de la esquina siempre con su buen humor
Hace de sus buenos díàs una confesion de amor
Muchas veces se discute pero sin pasar a màs
Y se acaba bien charlando en cualquier bar

Las palabras màs corrientes que parecen sin valor
Tienen su grandeza siempre porque son tambien de amor
Al decir yo te detesto pides a la vez pardon
Porque todo sentimiento desemboca en el amor

Las palabras màs corrientes y màs simples de decir
Son la vida y la razon para seguir

La la la la la la la...

Los adios, los muchas gracias son amor sin declarar
A la gente que ya no veremos màs

Tienen su grandeza siempre porque son tambien de amor

Little words have so much meaning
When you mean the words you say
Little words like glad to see you
How are you, hello good day
Little words that make you welcome
Little words that say goodbye
Little words that help you laughing
Little words that make you cry

There are words for all occasions
Words for all you say and do
But the grestest words of all Are
I love you

Little words have so much meaning
When you mean the words you say
Little words like glad to see you
How are you, hello good day

Happy anniversary
Little words like how I miss you
Words like hurry back to me

Little words like god be with you
In all you say and do
But I know I'll never find the words for you

Little werds have so much meaning
When you mean the words you say
Little words like it's a pleasure
To be here with you today
Little words called silly querells
And the sunshine turns to rain
But the words like sorry darling
Help you to give up again

There are words for all occasions
Words for all you say and do
But the greatest werds of all are
I love you

It's right that I should care about you
And try to make you happy when you're blue
It's right, it's right to feel the way I do
Because, because I love you

It's wrong to say I don't think of you
'Cause when you say these things
You know it makes me blue

((English, German, & Spanish Versions:
Little Words (Dalida); Der Charme Der Kleinen Worte (Dalida); Las Palabras Corrientes (Dalida))
Composer(s): Jean-Pierre Lang - Jeff Barnel
Performer(s): Dalida



Tous les mots que l'on se lance les p'tits mots de tous les jours
On les croit sans importance mais ce sont des mots d'amour
Les bye bye, arrivederci, les bonsoirs, etc
Les saluts, les comment ça va sont déjà des mots d'amour
Les farewells on se reverra, les merci qu'on dit comme ça
A des gens qu'on croise et qu'on ne connaît pas

Tous les mots que l'on se lance les ptits mots de tous les jours
On les croit sans importance mais ce sont des mots d'amour
L'épicier devant sa porte qui te dit son p'tit bonjour
Ne sait pas en quelque sorte qu'il te dit des mots d'amour
On n'est pas toujours bien d'accord sur la vie mais ça ne fait rien
On se fâche un peu dans le bistrot du coin

Tous les mots que l'on se lance les p'tits mots de tous les jours
On les croit sans importance mais ce sont des mots d'amour
On se dit je te déteste puis on appelle au secours
Mais ces mots que l'on regrette sont toujours des mots d'amour
Quoiqu'on fasse et quoi qu'on dise on s'adore on se trahit
Mais ce sont ces petits mots qui font la vie

La, la, la...

Les farewells on se reverra, les merci qu'on dit comme ça
A des gens qu'on croise et qu'on ne connaît pas
Tous les mots que l'on se lance les p'tits mots de tous les jours
On les croit sans importance mais ce sont des mots d'amour
Les bye bye, arrivederci, les bonsoirs etc
Les saluts, les comment ça va sont déjà des mots d'amour

La, la, la...
