Gwendolyne
Gwendolyne
Composer(s): Julio Iglesias
First performance by: Julio Iglesias - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
Tan dentro de mí
conservo el calor
que me haces sentir...
Conservo tu amor
tan dentro de mí
que aún puedo vivir
muriendo de amor
muriendo de ti
Como buscan las olas
la orilla del mar
como busca un marino
su puerto y su hogar
yo he buscado en mi alma
queriéndote hallar
y tan sólo encontré
mi soledad
Y a pesar que estás lejos
tan lejos de mí...
A pesar de otros besos
quizás, Gwendolyne
aún recuerdes el tiempo
de aquel nuestro amor...
Aún te acuerdes de mí
Y aún recuerdo aquel ayer
cuando estabas junto a mí
Tú me hablabas del amor
Yo aún podía sonreír...
Aún recuerdo aquel amor...
Y ahora te alejas de mí
Le he pedido al silencio
que me hable de ti
he vagado en la noche
queriéndote oír
y al murmullo del viento
le he oído decir
tu nombre: Gwendolyne

Magia
Magia
((Adapted from: The Look Of Love (by Dusty Springfield) - 1967))
Composer(s): Hal David - Burt Bacharach - Sergio Bardotti
Performer(s): Ornella Vanoni - 2002
La tua magia é qui
É in me
C'é l'ho e non va piú via
La tua magia
Sentir le cose
Che con la bocca non direi
Di porte sconosciute
Che non ho aperto mai
Di promesse e desideri
Spenti fino a ierei
di attimi ardenti
Neanche l'ho sapevo
Quanto li aspettavo
Ed é la tua
Magia che fa
Che puó
Che sá
Com'é che saró
Mi lascio andare
Son stanca di battaglie
che non ho vinto mai
andiamo dove vuoi
dove pensi che mi avrai
Sono solo tuoi bracieri solo da scaldare
Per essere ancora
Una che ci prova
Un'altra donna nuova
Lacia che sia
La tua magia per sempre mia

Six Lessons From Madame La Zonga
Six Lessons From Madame La Zonga
Composer(s): James V. Monaco; Charles Newman
Performer(s): Helen O'Connell
and multiple other artists
Six lessons from Madame La Zonga
You do the Rumba and the new La Conga
Six lessons in Madame’s cabana
And you will imagine you’re down in Havana
Her four Latin daughters will help you to start
While finding the rhythm you might lose your heart
Six lessons from Madame La Zonga
And you’ll develop your hip and your knee
And say, by the way, if you’re sure it’s okay
If Madame likes you, the lessons are free
Rosita gives you lesson one,
Chiquita gives you lesson two
Madame gives you all the rest
And her methods are the best
The Madame shows you how to walk
The Madame marks it with her chalk
When the Madame starts to squawk
That’s her Cuban double talk
Six lessons from Madame La Zonga
And you’ll develop your hip and your knee
And say, by the way, if your sure it’s OK
If Madame likes you, the lessons are free
If Madame likes you, the lessons are free!

Look Of Love
Look Of Love
Composer(s): Ellie Greenwich - Jeff Barry
Performer(s): Lesley Gore
Look at the way he looks at her
Look at the way he smiles
I remember when he was mine
I remember when things were fine
Oh, look at the way he looks at her now
Isn't that the look of love?
Look at the way he holds her hand
Look at the way they dance
I remember when he loved me
I remember how it used to be
But look at the way he smiles at her now
Isn't that the look of love?
Here I am, all by myself
Watching him with someone else
And he doesn't even know I'm here
Wish I could hold back my tears, 'cause
Look at the way he's kissing her
Look at him hold her tight
I remember his warm embrace
And the tender look on his face
Yes, look at the way he looks at her now
Isn't that the look of love?
(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Isn't that the look of love?
Whoa, oh, oh
Isn't that the look of love?
Hey, hey, hey
Isn't that the look of love? ...
Oh, whoa now
Isn't that the look of love?

Je Suis Tombé Du Ciel
Je Suis Tombé Du Ciel
Composer(s): Yves de Vriendt
First performance by: David-Alexandre Winter - 1970
Je vivais bien là-haut dans mes nuages
J'avais le cœur et la tête en voyage
Je me croyais tranquille pour longtemps
Pour longtemps
Chaque fois que je regardais la terre
Je la trouvais bien ronde et bien sévère
Je n'avais pas envie de voir les gens
Mais tout à coup, un jour, en te voyant
Je suis tombé du ciel pour me pencher sur toi
En arrivant du ciel, je suis tombé sur toi
Il m'est venu des ailes en m'approchant de toi
Je suis tombé du ciel et je suis fou de joie
Je n'irai plus jamais dans les nuages
Tu es ma ville et tu es mon village
J'ai découvert que le seul paradis
C'est ici
Dieu qu'on s'ennuie quand on plane là-haut
À vivre seul comme un triste pierrot
Quand il suffit de plonger dans tes yeux
Pour naviguer au milieu du ciel bleu
Je suis tombé du ciel pour me pencher sur toi
En arrivant du ciel, je suis tombé sur toi
Il m'est venu des ailes en m'approchant de toi
Je suis tombé du ciel et je suis fou de joie
La la la la la la... la la la la la la...
La la la la la la... et je suis fou de joie

Look Into The Sun
Look Into The Sun
Composer(s): Ian Anderson - Martin Barre
Performer(s): Jethro Tull
Took a sad song of one sweet evening
I smiled and quickly turned away
It's not easy singing sad songs
but still the easiest way I have to say
So when you look into the sun
and see the things we haven't done
oh was it better then to run
than to spend the summer crying
Now summer cannot come anyway
I had waited for time to change her
The only change that came was over me
She pretended not to want love
I hope she was only fooling me
So when you look into the sun
look for the pleasures nearly won
Or was it better then to run
than to spend the summer singing
And summer could have come in a day
So if you hear my sad song singing
remember who and what you nearly had
It's not easy singing sad songs
when you can sing the song to make me glad
So when you look into the sun
and see the words you could have sung
It's not too late, only begun
we can still make summer
Yes, summer always comes anyway
So when you look into the sun
and see the words you could have sung
It's not too late, only begun
Look into the sun

Six Jours Sur La Route
Six Jours Sur La Route
(Adapted from: Six Days On The Road - 1964)
Composer(s): Earl Green; Carl Montgomery; Yves Dessca
Performer(s): Claude François - 1975
Je sors de ma loge et je cours vers ma voiture
En passant j'embrasse une fille et je fais quelques signatures
Pardon si je suis pressé, c'est que je viens de passer
Six jours sur la route, et moi je rentre à la maison ce soir
De ville en ville j'ai couru comme un fou me reposant à peine
Mais que c'est bon d'être sur scène et de chanter pour ceux qui vous aiment
Bientôt je repartirai, mais vraiment je n'en peux plus après
Six jours sur la route, et moi je rentre à la maison ce soir
En roulant dans la nuit des choses fourmillent au fond de ma tête
Il me faut des chansons nouvelles et un nouveau pas pour les Claudettes
Encore ce sacré métier, suffit je lui ai donné
Six jours sur la route, et moi je rentre à la maison ce soir
Soudain je pense à cette fille assise au premier rang
J'en étais un peu amoureux à la fin de mon tour de chant
J'aurais aimé la revoir, mais je lui ai dit bonsoir
Six jours sur la route, et moi je rentre à la maison ce soir
Je suis heureux de retrouver tout à l'heure la fille de mon cœur
Et soudain je me sens l'envie d'appuyer sur l'accélérateur
Je rève de l'embrasser, sans elle c'est long de passer
Six jours sur la route, et moi je rentre à la maison ce soir
Six jours sur la route, et moi je rentre à la maison ce soir
Oui, ce soir

Look In My Eyes Pretty Woman
Look In My Eyes Pretty Woman
Composer(s): Brian Potter - Dennis Lambert
Performer(s): Tony Orlando & Dawn
Time is on my side
Though the world keeps gettin' colder
'Cause I've got you, girl
To ease my troubled mind, ooh
I'm a different man
When your head is on my shoulder
I can find the answers in me
That I never thought I'd find
'Cause when you look in my eyes, pretty woman
The world is a peaceful place
All I can see when there's you
And there's me is love upon your face
Stand by me, baby, and we'll find the way
Before our day is done
Oh, look in my eyes, pretty woman
And we'll overcome
You're my guiding star
You're my faith, my hope, my power
When I just can't find a reason to believe
Touch my hand with love
And you light my darkest hour
I can feel the warmth returning
And my pain about to leave
'Cause when you look in my eyes, pretty woman
The world is a peaceful place
Oh, all I can see when there's you
And there's me is love upon your face
Stand by me, baby, and we'll find the way
Before our day is done
Oh, look in my eyes, pretty woman
And we'll overcome, yeah
Oh, look in my eyes, pretty woman
The world is a peaceful place
Oh, all I can see when there's you
And there's me is love upon your face
Oh, stand by me, baby, and we'll find the way
Before our day is done
Oh, look in my eyes, pretty woman
And we'll overcome
Say look in my eyes, pretty woman

Six Jours À La Campagne
Six Jours À La Campagne
Composer(s): Hort Axton; Pierre Delanoë; Claude Lemesle
Performer(s): Joe Dassin
Le premier jour, quand on s'est rencontrés
C'était le début du monde, la fin de l'ombre
Tout recommençait
Le second jour, quand on s'est reveillés
On a reveillé les sources, le vent qui soufflait
Sur les champs de blé
Au matin du troisième Dieu a créé l'Amour
Pour que tu m'aimes...
Tu m'as aimé six jours
Le jour suivant, parmi d'autres merveilles
On a créé la tendresse, quand Dieu n'as fait
Que l'eau et le soleil
Le cinquième jour un nuage est passé
J'avais perdu l'habitude, ma solitude
Tu l'as réinventée
Au matin du sixième Dieu a créé la Femme
Pour que tu m'aimes... six jours à la campagne

Ingen Regning
Ingen Regning
((Adapted from: No Charge (by Melba Montgomery) - 1974))
((French Version: Cadeau (by Marie Laforêt) - 1974))
Composer(s): Harlan Howard - Kurt Thyboe
Performer(s): Peter Belli - 1978
Vores lille knægt kom ud til mor i køkkenet en aften, mens hun stod og lavede mad
Og han gav hende en lille seddel, han havde skrevet
Og da hun havde tørret hænderne i forklædet, tog hun sedlen og læste den, mens jeg lyttede
Og her er, hvad der stod
For at slå græsset: 5kr
For at rede min seng hele ugen: 6kr
For at have gået til købmanden: 2kr
For at lege med lillebror, mens du var ude at købe ind: 2kr
For at bære skraldespanden ud: 3kr
Og for gode karakterer i skolen: 10kr
For at gøre rent i gården: 10kr
Så alt i alt skylder du mig: 38kr
Mor så lidt på knægten, der stod der og så så forventningsfuld ud
Og jeg kunne se, at hun tænkte tilbage på alle de år, som vi havde haft sammen med ham
Så tog hun blyanten, vendte sedlen om, og så skrev hun, og jeg læste det for ham
For den tid, jeg bar dig
mens du boede indeni mig: Ingen regning!
For de nætter jeg sad hos dig
græd for dig og bad for dig: Ingen regning!
For al den tid, al den frygt
du har kostet din mor: Ingen regning!
Lille søn, du skal vide, at for min kærlighed til dig
der er der bare ingen regning!
For de år, der vil komme
med angst for din fremtid: Ingen regning!
Og for alle mine gode råd
og for al min erfaring: Ingen regning!
For legetøj, mad og tøj, ja, selv for at snyde din
lille næse – der er bare ingen regning, søn!
Og læg alt det her sammen –
så er min kærlighed til dig bare uden regning!
Da jeg var færdig med at læse op, så havde min lille søn store tårer i øjnene
Han så op på sin mor, og han sagde: mor jeg elsker dig så meget!
Så tog han blyanten, og med store, skæve bogstaver skrev han
Alt er betalt!
Og til alle jer små venner ude i landet: Husk, at fars og mors kærlighed den koster ikke noget
(kor:) Så er min kærlighed til dig bare uden regning!

Marie-Blanche
Marie-Blanche
Composer(s): André-Pierre Dousset
First performance by: Guy Bonnet - 1970
C'est l'heure où des perles de givre se posent
Où chaque feuille se prend pour une rose
Quelque part un oiseau chante quelque chose
Et Marie-Blanche est à moi
Nous sommes là dans une douce quiétude
Nous avons mis fin à notre solitude
Nos corps apprennent de tendres habitudes
Et Marie-Blanche est à moi
Et Marie-Blanche est à moi, et moi, je l'aime
Et Marie-Blanche s'endort près de moi
La neige tombe et le vent lui fait escorte
Tous les étangs sont gelés, oui, mais qu'importe
À l'hiver nous avons fermé notre porte
Et Marie-Blanche est à moi
Et Marie-Blanche est à moi, et moi, je l'aime
Et Marie-Blanche s'endort près de moi
Oh, que le temps lui-même tourne ses pages
Nous resterons là un siècle ou davantage
La ville dort sous l'aile des blancs nuages
Et Marie-Blanche est à moi
Je ne veux rien savoir du reste du monde
La terre ne m'a jamais semblé aussi ronde
Contre mon cœur, il y a sa tête blonde
Et Marie-Blanche est à moi

(ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
Look homeward, angel
Tell me what you see
Do the folks I used to know remember me?

Eye my lady fair
Does she dream about the love we used to share?
So she'll know how very much I miss her
Angel, while she's dreaming, won't you kiss her?
Look homeward, angel
One thing I must know
Do her empty arms still yearn for me alone?
So she'll know how very much I miss her
Angel, while she's dreaming, won't you kiss her?
Look homeward, angel
One thing I must know
Do her empty arms still yearn for me alone?
Do her empty arms still yearn for me alone?

Six Foot Seven Woman
Six Foot Seven Woman
Performer(s): Foster & Allen
Come let me introduce you to the woman who's me Wife
Of all me great possessions, she's the biggest in me life
There's not a chance I'd lose her, she's too easy to be found
She's six foot seven inches and she weighs three hundred pounds
Sure, when I started courtin' her, her figure was a twelve
I put me arms around her, but me arms they were too short
To take her to the pictures, sure I didn't have the dough
To pay for all the seats she'd fill down in the bottom row
Oh, she's six foot seven inches, Boys, let's sing it once again
She's got the kind of figure that was mostly meant for men
You may talk of Texas giants, who are brawny, big and tall
But this six foot seven woman, she'd make midgets of them all
To fit her with the costume, makes the tailors take great pains
They have to take her measurements with lengths of Irish chains
(land surveying chain in the version I heard)
It takes a room of cloth to make a top of any taste
And half an acre more to cover all below her waste
Oh, she's six foot seven inches, Boys, let's sing it once again
She's got the kind of figure that was mostly meant for men
You may talk of Texas giants, who are brawny, big and tall
But this six foot seven woman, she'd make midgets of them all
The mornin' we got married, I can still remember well
We went to have our breakfast in the Park House Hotel
To fit her through the doorway, sure I knew it was too small
She ate so much, to get her out we had to knock the wall
She says our house is much too small, she can't expand her chest
She's rather like a cuckoo in a little sparrow's nest
If every women grew that size, I'm going to tell you, Boys
You might knock all the houses down and build them twice the size
Oh, she's six foot seven inches, Boys, let's sing 'er once again
She's got the kind of figure that was mostly meant for men
You can talk of Texas giants, who are brawny, big and tall
But this six foot seven woman, she'd make midgets of them all

Look For The Silver Lining
Composer(s): B.G. DeSylva - Jerome Kern
First performance by: Marilyn Miller & Irving Fisher - 1920
Covered by multiple other artists
(Boy)
Please don't be offended if I preach to you awhile
Tears are out of place in eyes that were meant to smile
There's a way to make your very biggest troubles small
Here's the happy secret of it all
Look for the silver lining
When e'er a cloud appears in the blue
Remember some where the sun is shining
And so the right thing to do
Is make it shine for you
A heart, full of joy and gladness
Will always banish sadness and strife
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life
(Girl)
As I wash my dishes, I'll be following your plan
Till I see the brightness in ev'ry pot and pan
I am sure your point of view will ease the daily grind
So I keep repeating in my mind
(Girl)
Look for the silver lining
When e'er a cloud appears in the blue
Remember some where the sun is shining
And so the right thing to do
Is make it shine for you

Viens L'oublier
Viens L'oublier
Composer(s): Jean Vallée
First performance by: Jean Vallée - 1970
Un chagrin vient d'apparaître
Un peu de pluie pour tes cils
Quelques larmes viennent de naître
Un peu d'amour qui s'enfuit
Viens l'oublier
Ce garçon te fait trop souvent souffrir
Viens l'effacer
Ce premier amour était mal écrit
Un nuage va disparaître
Un bouquet d'ombres qui s'enfuient
Un soleil vient d'apparaître
Un peu de bleu pour tes cils
Viens l'oublier
Ce garçon te fait trop souvent souffrir
Viens l'effacer
Ce premier amour était mal écrit
Une étoile vient d'apparaître
Un peu de nuit pour tes cils
Une rose vient de naître
Un peu d'amour dans la nuit
Viens l'oublier
Ce garçon te fait trop souvent souffrir
Viens l'effacer
Ce premier amour était mal écrit
Viens..

Tombe la neige
Tu ne viendras pas ce soir
Tombe la neige
Et mon coeur s’habille de noir
Ce soyeux cortège
Tout en larmes blanches
L’oiseau sur la branche
Pleure le sortilège
“Tu ne viendras pas ce soir”
Me crie mon désespoir
Mais tombe la neige
Impassible manège
Tombe la neige
Tu ne viendras pas ce soir
Tombe la neige
Tout est blanc de désespoir
Triste certitude
Le froid et l’absence
Cet odieux silence
Blanche solitude
“Tu ne viendras pas ce soir”
Me crie mon désespoir
Mais tombe la neige
Impassible manège

Six Feet Of Snow
Six Feet Of Snow
Composer(s): Keith Godchaux; Lowell George
Performer(s): Little Feat; Souled American
Six feet of snow
Coming through my radio
It's raining in stilettos
From here clear down to Mexico
My hands are numb
From hanging on that steering wheel
They're frozen tight
Hope the wind don't blow me off the road tonight
Don't you know the ice and snow
Is sneaking in through my window
Don't you know how much I hate to be so cold
And so alone
I'm coming home
If it wasn't for the lines that wind side by side
I'd be lying next to her
Next to her tonight
Sweet New Orleans
That's where my girl, she waits for me
Hair so long and eyes so green
She's the prettiest girl I've ever seen
Don't you know the ice and snow
Is sneaking through this boy's window
Don't you know how much I hate to be so cold
And so alone
I'm coming home
If it wasn't for the lines that wind side by side
I'd be lying next to her
Next to her tonight

and multiple other artists
When life doesn't seem worth the living
And you don't really care who you are
When you feel there is no one beside you
Look for a star
When you know you're alone and so lonely
And your friends have traveled afar
There is someone waiting to guide you
Look for a star
Oh, everyone has a lucky star
That shines in the sky up above
If you wish on a lucky star
You're sure to find someone to love
A rich man man, a poor man, a beggar
No matter whoever you are
There's a friend who's waiting to guide you
Look for a star
A rich man, a poor man, a beggar
No matter whoever you are
There's a friend who's waiting to guide you
Look for a star
