Love Walked In


Love Walked In
((Dutch Version: Kom Binnen (Greetje Kauffeld) - 1997))
Composer(s): George Gershwin - Ira Gershwin
First performance by: Kenny Baker - 1938
Covered by multiple other artists



Love walked right in
and drove the shadows away
Love walked right in
and brought my sunniest day
One magic moment
and my heart seemed to know - that love said hello
Though not a word was spoken
One look, and I'd forgot
the gloom of the past
One look, and I had found
my future at last
One look, and I had found
a world completely new
When love walked in with you

Momenti Si, Momenti No


Momenti Si, Momenti No ((English & French Versions: The Times We've Known (by Bob Dylan); Les Bons Moments (by Charles Aznavour)) Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Momenti si momenti no, ce ne' di vita tra di noi
Quante follie, quante bugie, cercate insieme
La primavera poi passo', ma non l'interno fuoco in noi
Ed un legame, al di la', il male e il bene
Un giorno in pace un giorno in guerra
Un giorno ricchi un giorno a terra
Che importa a noi bastava che ci fossi io vicino a te
Momenti si momenti no, ma e' coi momenti
Che si fa l'eternita'
Momenti si momenti no, ce ne' di cose tra di noi
Tramonti chiari ed allegrie, vissute insieme
Ragazzi ed incoscenti noi, adulti mai pazienti poi
Il fiume in secca ormai, e le improvvise piene
Sto ricordando se, chi lo sa, se oggi o tanto tempo fa
Chissa' perche' ti voglio qui, tu non ci sei o forse si
Tiriamo i conti e si vedra'
Se eran momenti o se era gia'
L'eternita', l'eternita'
Momenti si, momenti no

Gente Di Mare


Gente Di Mare (Dutch Version: Alles Kwijt - 1994) Composer(s): Giancarlo Bigazzi - Raf Riefoli - Umberto Tozzi First performance by: Umberto Tozzi - 1987 Covered by multiple other artists



A noi che siamo gente di pianura
navigatori esperti di citta'
il mare ci fa sempre un po' paura
per quell'idea di troppa liberta'
Eppure abbiamo il sale nei capelli
del mare abbiamo le profondita'
e donne infreddolite negli scialli
che aspettano che cosa non si sa
Gente di mare
che se ne va
dove gli pare
dove non sa
Gente che muore
di nostalgia
ma quando torna
dopo un giorno muore
per la voglia di andare via
E quando ci fermiamo sulla riva
lo sguardo all'orizzonte se ne va
portandoci i pensieri alla deriva
per quell'idea di troppa liberta'

Gente di mare
che se ne va
dove gli pare
dove non sa
Gente corsara che non c'e' piu'
gente lontana che porta nel cuore
questo grande fratello blu

Al di la' del mare
c'e' qualcuno che
c'e' qualcuno che non sa
niente di te

Gente di mare
che se ne va
dove gli pare
dove non sa
Noi prigionieri in questa citta'
viviamo sempre di oggi e di ieri
inchiodati dalla realta'...
e la gente di mare va

Gente di mare
che se ne va
dove gli pare
dove non sa
Noi prigionieri in questa citta'
viviamo sempre di oggi e di ieri
inchiodati dalla realta'...
e la gente di mare va

Love Turns Winter To Spring


Love Turns Winter To Spring
Composer(s): Brigham Townsend - Matt Dennis
Performer(s): The Four Freshmen
and multiple other artists



Don't mind the weather, for when we're together
Old weather man don't mean a thing
If it rains or it snows, well, ev'ryone knows
Love turns winter to spring

All of a sudden, the rose buds are buddin'
What a miraculous thing!
For like some lovely dream, with romance as theme
Love turns winter to spring

I thought the cold old snow would stay and stay
And stay and stay and stay
But in the warmth of your wonderful smile
It melted all away

I'll never wonder at lightning or thunder
To me they just don't mean a thing
With the song of the birds, and your lovely words
Love turns winter to spring
Love turns winter to spring

Moment To Moment


Moment To Moment
Composer(s): Henry Mancini; Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



From moment to moment
Every moment that I live
I live for every moment with you

To see you
To touch you
To imagine this will be
The moment when a dream comes true

Just an ordinary day becomes adventure
Such sweet adventure
I never knew

And life will be rainbows
As I learn the secret of
The miracle that love can do
From moment to moment with you

Genova Per Noi


Genova Per Noi
Composer(s): Paolo Conte
Performer(s): Paolo Conte;
Castellina-Pasi; Bruno Lauzi



Con quella faccia un po' così
quell'espressione un po' così
che abbiamo noi prima di andare a Genova
che ben sicuri mai non siamo
che quel posto dove andiamo
non c'inghiotte e non torniamo più

Eppur parenti siamo un po'
di quella gente che c'è lì
che in fondo in fondo è come noi, selvatica
ma che paura ci fa quel mare scuro
che si muove anche di notte e non sta fermo mai

Genova per noi
che stiamo in fondo alla campagna
e abbiamo il sole in piazza rare volte
e il resto è pioggia che ci bagna
Genova, dicevo, è un'idea come un'altra
Ah, la la la la la la

Ma quella faccia un po' così
quell'espressione un po' così
che abbiamo noi mentre guardiamo Genova
ed ogni volta l'annusiamo
e circospetti ci muoviamo
un po' randagi ci sentiamo noi

Macaia, scimmia di luce e di follia
foschia, pesci, Africa, sonno, nausea, fantasia...
e intanto, nell'ombra dei loro armadi
tengono lini e vecchie lavande
lasciaci tornare ai nostri temporali
Genova ha i giorni tutti uguali

In un'immobile campagna
con la pioggia che ci bagna
e i gamberoni rossi sono un sogno
e il sole è un lampo giallo al parabrise...

Con quella faccia un po' così
quell'espressione un po' così
che abbiamo noi che abbiamo visto Genova
che ben sicuri mai non siamo
che quel posto dove andiamo
non c'inghiotte e non torniamo più

Moment By Moment


Moment By Moment
Composer(s): Lee Holdridge; Molly Ann Leiken
Performer(s): Yvonne Elliman



Though our love
Is like a winding road
Of uncertainty
I long trust your smile
And all the ways you feel
Touching me
Moment by moment
Our lifetime goes on
Till one day
Our somedays are gone
Look at us
Two drifters with a dream
Scared to see it though
But we're so happy now
It might be beautiful
If we do
For moment by moment
The choices we make
Depend on
The chances we take
Oh, for moment, moment by moment
Our lifetime goes on
Till one day
Our somedays are gone
For moment, moment by moment
The choices we make
Depend on
The chances we take
Ho, moment, moment by moment

Geni E O Zepelim


Geni E O Zepelim
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



De tudo que é nego torto
Do mangue e do cais do porto
Ela já foi namorada
O seu corpo é dos errantes
Dos cegos, dos retirantes
É de quem não tem mais nada
Dá-se assim desde menina
Na garagem, na cantina
Atrás do tanque, no mato
É a rainha dos detentos
Das loucas, dos lazarentos
Dos moleques do internato
E também vai amiúde
Co'os velhinhos sem saúde
E as viúvas sem porvir
Ela é um poço de bondade
E é por isso que a cidade
Vive sempre a repetir
Joga pedra na Geni
Joga pedra na Geni
Ela é feita pra apanhar
Ela é boa de cuspir
Ela dá pra qualquer um
Maldita Geni

Um dia surgiu, brilhante
Entre as nuvens, flutuante
Um enorme zepelim
Pairou sobre os edifícios
Abriu dois mil orifícios
Com dois mil canhões assim
A cidade apavorada
Se quedou paralisada
Pronta pra virar geléia
Mas do zepelim gigante
Desceu o seu comandante
Dizendo - Mudei de idéia
- Quando vi nesta cidade
- Tanto horror e iniquidade
- Resolvi tudo explodir
- Mas posso evitar o drama
- Se aquela famosa dama
- Esta noite me servir
Essa dama era Geni
Mas não pode ser Geni
Ela é feita pra apanhar
Ela é boa de cuspir
Ela dá pra qualquer um
Maldita Geni

Mas de fato, logo ela
Tão coitad e tão singela
Cativara o forasteiro
O guerreiro tão vistoso
Tão temido e poderoso
Era dela, prisioneiro
Acontece que a donzela
- e isso era segredo dela
Também tinha seus caprichos
E a deitar com homem tão nobre
Tão cheirando a brilho e a cobre
Preferia amar com os bichos
Ao ouvir tal heresia
A cidade em romaria
Foi beijar a sua mão
O prefeito de joelhos
O bispo de olhos vermelhos
E o banqueiro com um milhão
Vai com ele, vai Geni
Vai com ele, vai Geni
Você pode nos salvar
Você vai nos redimir
Você dá pra qualquer um
Bendita Geni

Foram tantos os pedidos
Tão sinceros tão sentidos
Que ela dominou seu asco
Nessa noite lancinante
Entregou-se a tal amante
Como quem dá-se ao carrasco
Ele fez tanta sujeira
Lambuzou-se a noite inteira
Até ficar saciado
E nem bem amanhecia
Partiu numa nuvem fria
Com seu zepelim prateado
Num suspiro aliviado
Ela se virou de lado
E tentou até sorrir
Mas logo raiou o dia
E a cidade em cantoria
Não deixou ela dormir
Joga pedra na Geni
Joga bosta na Geni
Ela é feita pra apanhar
Ela é boa de cuspir
Ela dá pra qualquer um
Maldita Geni

Molly Malone


Molly Malone (aka Cockles And Mussles)
Composer(s): James Yorkston; Edmund Forman



In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled her wheelbarrow through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

She was a fishmonger and sure it was no wonder
For so were her father and mother before
And they both wheeled their barrows through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

She died of a fever and no one could save her
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
Now her ghost wheels her barrow through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

Genghis Khan


Genghis Khan
Composer(s): Gilbert Paeffgen;
Jo McHugh; Philippe Quilichini
Performer(s): Nico



I have come to lie with you
I have come to die with you

On your padded shoulder
And your golden chest
In a wilderness of glass we rest

And all the flowers they are our words
And my chances follow dances
Into a storm afraid

A sweet and bitter rest he gets
A sweet and bitter rest he gets

I have come to lie with you
I have come to die with you

Love To Keep You In My Mind


Love To Keep You In My Mind
Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield
Performer(s): Curtis Mayfield &The Impressions



Through loving you I seem to feel a spirit
Deep inside of me
Preciously guiding me
My woman of all women, dear to me

Forever love me
For I need you constantly
And still, you hold me close indeed
Helping to keep this love I need
Feels so much like your touch divine

Drinking and getting high on wine
Wanting to love you, all the time
Just love to keep you in my mind
Just love to keep you in my mind

Your face is so mysteriously kind
I bet that love is
Partial to your sign
Somehow I do believe that you are mine
Proving in a natural way
Things that I could never think to say

And still, you hold me close indeed
Helping to keep this love I need
Feels so much like your touch divine

Drinking and getting high on wine
Wanting to love you all the time
Just love to keep you in my mind
Just love to keep you in my mind

The magic that you secretly possess
Ooh, I must confess
Must be working at its best
My love for you is one you'll always know
Wherever we may go
You will find that it is so
And still, you hold me close indeed
Helping to keep this love I need
Feels so much, like your touch divine

Drinking and getting high on wine
Wanting to love you all the time
Just love to keep you in my mind
I just love to keep you in my mind

Molly Durkin


Molly Durkin
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Murty Rabbett



I'm a dacint honest workin' man, as you might understand
And I'll tell to you the reason why I left old Ireland
'Twas Molly Durkin did it when she married Tim O'Shea
And to keep my heart from breakin', I sailed to Americay

Arragh, goodbye Molly Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin'
And my heart is nearly broken, but no longer I'll be fooled
And as sure as my name is Cooney, I'm bound for Califooney
And indtead of diggin' mortar I'll be diggin' lumps of gold

Well, I landed in Castle Garden, sure I met a man named Burke
And he told me remain in New York until he got me work
But he hasn't got it for me, so tonight I'll tell him plain
For San Francisco in the morn I'm going to take a train

Well, I'm out in Californy and my fortune it is made
I'm a-loaded down with gold and I throw away my pick and spade
Sail home to dear old Ireland with the Castle out of sight
And I'll marry Miss O'Kelly, Molly Durkin for to spite

Genesis


Genesis
Composer(s): Jorma Kaukonen
Performer(s): Jorma Kaukonen



Time has come for us to pause
And think of living as it was
Into the future we must cross, must cross
I'd like to go with you
And I'd like to go with you
You say I'm harder than a wall
A marble shaft about to fall
I love you dearer than them all, them all
So let me stay with you
So let me stay with you
And as we walked into the day
Skies of blue had turned to grey
I might have not been clear to say, to say
I never looked away
I never looked away
And though I'm feeling you inside
My life is rolling with the tide
I'd like to see it be an open ride
Along with you
Going along with you
The time we borrowed from ourselves
Can't stay within a vaulted well
And living turns into a lender's will
So let me come with you
And let me come with you
And when we came out into view
And there I found myself with you
When breathing felt like something new, new
Along with you
Going along with you

Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists



Love thy neighbor
Walk up and say "How be ya
Gee! But I'm glad to see ya, pal
How's tricks? What's new?"
Love thy neighbor
Offer to share his burden
Tell him to say the word "n"
You will see him through
Especially if there should be
a beautiful girl next door
Say to that girl next door
don't think I'm bold
But my mother told me to
Love thy neighbor
And you will find your labor
A great deal easier
Life'll be breezier
If you Love Thy Neighbor

Molly Brannigan


Molly Brannigan
(Traditional)
Performer(s): John McCormack
and various other artists



Ma'am dear, did ye never hear of pretty Molly Brannigan?
In troth, then, she's left me and I'll never be a man again
Not a spot on my hide will a summer's sun e'er tan again
Since Molly's gone and left me here alone for to die

The place where my heart was you'd aisy rowl a turnip in
'Tis large as all Dublin, and from Dublin to the Divil's glen
If she'd wish'd to take another, sure she might have left mine back again
And not have gone and left me here alone for to die

Ma'am dear, I remember when the milking time was past and gone
We strolled thro' the meadow, and she swore I was the only one
That ever she could love, but oh! the base and cruel one
For all I that she's left me here alone for to die

Ma'am dear, I remember when coming home the rain began
I wrapt my frieze-coat round her and ne'er a waistcoat had I on
And my shirt was rather fine-drawn, but oh! the false and cruel one
For all that she's left me here alone for to die

The left side of my carcase is as weak as water gruel, ma'am
There's not a pick upon my bones, since Molly's proved so cruel ma'am
Oh! if I had a blunder gun, I'd go and fight a duel, ma'am
For sure I'd better shoot myself than live here to die

I'm cool an' determined as any salamander, ma'am
Won't you come to my wake when I go the long meander, ma'am?
I'll think myself as valiant as the famous Alexander, ma'am
When I hear ye cryin' o'er me, "Arrah! why did ye die?"

Générosité


Générosité
Composer(s): Enrico Macias; Didier Barbelivien;
Jacques Revaux; Jean-Pierre Bourtayre
Performer(s): Enrico Macias



Pour l'aveugle qui voit
Pour le mendiant qui doit
Des trésors à ceux qui l'ont aimé
Pour le païen qui croit
Pour ce Bon Dieu en croix
Que tout le monde finit par oublier
Je dis qu'il n'y a qu'une façon
De les rassembler

Pour l'oiseau en hiver
Pour l'enfant du désert
Que la pluie ne viendra pas sauver
Pour celui qui se bat
Pour celui qu'on abat
Au nom d'une étrange liberté
Je dis qu'il n'y a qu'une façon
De nous révolter

{Refrain:}
Générosité pour les hommes
De bonne volonté
Générosité qui pardonne
Aux amours blessés
Pour tous ceux qui pleurent sur la terre
Les déshérités
Générosité quand on a tout donné

Pour les enfants du monde
Pour ceux de notre monde
La guerre des étoiles va commencer
Déclaration de paix
Déclaration d'amour
Combien de temps faudra-t-il prier
Je dis qu'il n'y a qu'une façon
De nous rassurer

{au Refrain, Ad lib}

Love The One You're With


Love The One You're With
((German Version: Bleib So Wie Du Bist (Stefan Gwildis) - 2005))
Composer(s): Stephen Stills
First release by: Stephen Stills - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



If you're tired and confused
And you don't remember who you're talking to
Your concentration slips away
Because your baby, sweetheart, sugar's so far away

And there's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love
Honey, love the one you're with (that's right)
Love the one you're with

Do do do do do do do do it
Do do do do do do do do it
Do do do do do do do do it

Turn your heartache right into joy
She's a girl and you're a boy
Get it together
Make it tonight
You aint gonna need any more advice

And there's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love
Honey, love the one you're with (that's right)
Love the one you're with

Gotta do something, the nights really jumping so love
Don't mind the feeling, it's not like you're falling in love
Hugging and kissing when you're love is missin love
Can't do no harm if it's only one night and you're in
My man, go ahead on
Find somebogy, get somebody
Love will still be right here when you get home
For a night, get the love

The eagles flying with the dove
And if you can't be in love
With the one you love
Just love the one you're with

Molly


Molly Composer(s): Steve Karliski Performer(s): Eddy Arnold; Bill Anderson



The war began, and Henry left his farm
Left his darling Molly with a baby in her arms
Now the war was over, and their life could begin
Molly saw her darlin' standin' at the door again

It's so nice to hear your voice again, Molly
So nice to feel your arms around me, Molly

Oh how happy I'd be if I only could see you sweet, sweet Molly
Please don't cry

Maybe I should have written
To let you know ahead of time
But I was afraid that you'd worry
If you knew that I'd gone blind

Do I hear you cryin', Molly?
Please don't cry, you silly thing
See what you've done?
You've even brought a tear to my eye

Oh how happy I'd be if i only could see you sweet, sweet Molly
Please don't cry

Where's my son? What does he look like, Molly?
Everyone says he took after me
Lord, I wish I could see
"Come here little man
Don't be afraid, I'm your daddy
I guess you'll get used to me in time," won't he, Molly?

It's so nice to hear your voice again, Molly
So nice to feel your arms around me Molly

Oh how happy I'd be if I only could see you sweet, sweet Molly
Please don't cry, please don't cry
