Je T’aime (Sheila)


Je T’aime
((Adapted from: The Universal Soldier (Buffy Sainte-Marie) - 1964))
Composer(s): Buffy Sainte-Marie - Jacques Plante - Claude Carrère
Performer(s): Sheila - 1966

Versions In Other Languages:
1965 - De Eeuwige Soldaat (Boudewijn de Groot)
1966 - Soldato Universale (Claus)



Je t’aime pour ton sourire, je t’aime pour ta douceur
Je t’aime pour tout ce qui est dans ton cœur
Pour le bras que tu offres et la main que tu tends
Et pour l’amour que tu portes aux enfants

Je t’aime pour ta façon de partager ton pain
Avec celui qui souffre de la faim
De donner ton manteau au pauvre qui a froid
Et d’abriter l’étranger sous ton toit

Je t’aime parce que tu sais trouver, lorsqu’il est dans l’ennui
Les mots qu’il faut pour aider un ami
Je t’aime pour ton dédain des gens qui se croient tout puissants
Ton mépris des honneurs et de l’argent

Je t’aime parce que tu ne seras jamais vraiment heureux
Tant qu’il y aura sur Terre des miséreux
Et parce que tu essaies, rien qu’avec tes deux mains
De transformer le monde de demain

Je t’aime parce que tu voudrais tant que sonnent par milliers
Les cloches des églises du monde entier
Que tu crois au bonheur qu’elles peuvent t’apporter
Que rien ne te décourage jamais

Je t’aime parce que tu sais rêver, loin des réalités
En suivant toujours, toujours ton idée
Et que tes rêves les plus beaux, ce sont les miens aussi
Nous allons les poursuivre tous les deux chaque jour de notre vie

Caserne


Caserne Composer(s): Guy Thomas - Jean Ferrat Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



Blanchis les troncs des marronniers
Tous au carré bien alignés
Rouges les toits rouges les briques
Bleu le ciment patriotique
Et pas une herbe dans la cour
Pour nous passer le mal d'amour
Ici tout est réglementaire
Pas un caillou n'est de travers
Murs en béton chevaux de frise
Y'a que les barbelés qui frisent

En rang par trois pas cadencé
Sous l'oeil attendri des bouchers
On maquignonne il faudrait voir
Pour les augustes abattoirs
Ici le monde est chamboulé
Les assassins sont galonnés
Partout la crasse et la bêtise
Ces deux vertus de l'entreprise
Partout la raison du plus fort
Sous le badigeon tricolore

Je reste à toi ma solitude
Dans le troupeau des habitudes
Et jusque dans le désarroi
Quand le poète est aux abois
Pour tous les moutons qui consentent
Je suis la rage impénitente
Seul au milieu de la débine
C'est à moi seul que je jaspine
Holà de la philanthropille
Y'a des consciences qui roupillent

Blanchis les troncs des marronniers
Tous au carré bien alignés
Rouges les toits rouges les briques
Bleu le ciment patriotique
Et pas une herbe dans la cour
Pour nous passer le mal d'amour...

Flowers For Madame


Flowers For Madame
Composer(s): Murray Mencher;
Charles Newman; Charles Tobias
Performer(s): Bob Crosby



Flowers for Madame
I bring you lovely flowers, sweet Madame
And though they may be beautiful to see
They could never be as beautiful as you

Every tender rose
May tell you what I'm trying to disclose
So won't you press them closely to your heart
That they may impart the love I hold for you

These precious moments when we meet
Are like a glorious bouquet
But they would be complete
If you gave me the right to say, "I adore you"

Flowers for Madame
I bring you lovely flowers, sweet Madame
And in my heart I'm hoping that perchance
They will start romance, these flowers for Madame

The End Of A Love Affair


The End Of A Love Affair
Composer(s): Edward Redding
Performer(s): Julie London
and multiple other artistss



So I walk a little too fast, and I drive a little too fast
And I'm reckless it's true, but what else can you do
At the end of a love affair?

So I talk a little too much, and I laugh a little too much
And my voice is too loud when I'm out in a crowd
So that people are apt to stare

Do they know, do they care, that it's only
That I'm lonely, and low as can be?
And the smile on my face isn't really a smile at all

So I smoke a little too much, and I joke a little too much
And the tunes I request are not always the best
But the ones where the trumpets blare

So I go at a maddening pace, and I pretend that it's taking his place
But what else can you do at the end of a love affair?

Cäsars Tod (Rom War Eine Stadt)


Cäsars Tod (Rom War Eine Stadt)
Composer(s): Kurt Weill
Performer(s): Ute Lemper



Rom war eine Stadt, und alle Römer
hatten in den Adern heißes Blut
Als sie Cäsar einst tyrannisch reizte
kochte es sofort in Siedeglut

Nicht die Warnung konnte Cäsar hindern
"Hüte vor des Märzes Iden dich!"
Er verfolgte seine frechen Ziele
und sah schon als Herrn der Römer sich

Immer schlimmer schlug ihn die Verblendung
nur sein Wort galt noch im Capitol
Und den weisen Rat der Senatoren
schmähte er gemein und höhnisch Kohl

Da kam stolzes Römerblut ins Wallen
Selbst der Freund bleibt keinem Cäsar treu
wenn ihn dieser nur für seine Zwecke
kalt mißbraucht und sagt es ohne Scheu

Heimlich trafen nachts sich die Verschwörer
und beredeten voll Eifer sich
Und genau am Tag der Märzesiden
gab ihm Brutus den verdienten Stich

Cäsar sank von seinem Sitz und stierte
seinen Mörder an, als ob’s nicht wahr
"Et tu, Brute" — rief er auf lateinisch
wie es dort die Landessprache war

Lasse keiner sich vom Wahn verführen
daß er mehr als jeder and’re gelt
Cäsar wollte mit dem Schwert regieren
und ein Messer hat ihn selbst gefällt

Flowers Are Red


Flowers Are Red
Composer(s): Harry Chapin
Performer(s): Harry Chapin;
Zain Bhikha; Tom Chapin; Iain MacKintosh



The little boy went first day of school
He got some crayons and started to draw
He put colors all over the paper
For colors was what he saw
And the teacher said..
What you doin' young man
I'm paintin' flowers he said
She said...
It's not the time for art young man
And anyway flowers are green and red
There's a time for everything young man
And a way it should be done
You've got to show concern for everyone else
For you're not the only one

And she said...
Flowers are red young man
Green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than they way they always have been seen

But the little boy said...
There are so many colors in the rainbow
So many colors in the morning sun
So many colors in the flower and I see every one

Well the teacher said..
You're sassy
There's ways that things should be
And you'll paint flowers the way they are
So repeat after me.....

And she said...
Flowers are red young man
Green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than they way they always have been seen

But the little boy said...
There are so many colors in the rainbow
So many colors in the morning sun
So many colors in the flower and I see every one

The teacher put him in a corner
She said..
It's for your own good..
And you won't come out 'til you get it right
And are responding like you should
Well finally he got lonely
Frightened thoughts filled his head
And he went up to the teacher
And this is what he said.. and he said

Flowers are red, green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than the way they always have been seen

Time went by like it always does
And they moved to another town
And the little boy went to another school
And this is what he found
The teacher there was smilin'
She said...
Painting should be fun
And there are so many colors in a flower
So let's use every one

But that little boy painted flowers
In neat rows of green and red
And when the teacher asked him why
This is what he said.. and he said

Flowers are red, green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than the way they always have been seen

The Emperor Waltz


The Emperor Waltz
Composer(s): Johann Strauss II - Johnny Burke
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists



Life is a dream, yet it's so real
Hard to explain, just how you feel
Deep in your heart, joy seems to dwell
Like poets say, it's perfectly swell

In every step, of this old dance
There is delight, love and romance
If you are the one, give me the few
And I am sure there's no one like you

You are all I dream
You are a part of my heart and esteem
And since I've met you
Now I know that dreams do come true

Love is a dream, yet it's so real
Hard to explain, just how you feel
Deep in your heart, joy seems to dwell
Like poets say, it's perfectly swell

Casanova (Roxy Music)


Casanova
Composer(s): Bryan Ferry
First release by: Roxy Music - 1974



You - the hero
So many times
You´ve loved
And didn´t linger
Now my finger
Points at you
- Another loser
You - an island
On your own
Complete
In every detail
Monumental
A precious jewel
Or just a fool
Innovator
It´s in your mind
And blood
I watch it simmer
I see you´re courting
More despair
No hope?
Not a glimmer
Now you´re nothing
But second hand
In glove
With second rate now
Now you´re flirting
With heroin
- Or is it cocaine?
Casanova -
Is that your name
Or do you live there?
I know my place
Is here with you
Tonight
But not together

Casablanca


Casablanca Composer(s): Dane Donohue - David Getreau - M. Fisher Performer(s): Dane Donohue



Meeting in a jungle of a hundred burning suns
We couldn't hide, we couldn't run
Inner city art mirages, you never know who to trust
This isn't fantasy, this is us

Oh Casablanca, you were my island
Lost in the middle of an ocean of sand
We were actors in their dreams, ain't it true, baby
Oh Casablanca, you were my island
Lost in the middle of an ocean of sand

We had everybody's eyes upon us
We're the fundamental things of life
We're the strangers as time goes by

Sound stage 7, you'd pretend you're not there
Cameras are rolling, make believe you don't care
We were actors in their dreams, ain't it true, baby

Oh Casablanca, you were my island
Lost in the middle of an ocean of sand
Oh Casablanca, you'll never change
Oh Casablanca, you'll never change

your very ears his head blows up...
leaving a bizarre audial residue all over
your teen-age record player!)

The Eggplant That Ate Chicago


The Eggplant That Ate Chicago
Composer(s): Norman Greenbaum
Performer(s): Dr. West's Medicine Show & Junk Band; Norman Greenbaum; Sadie Green Sales Ragtime Jugband



You'd better watch out for the eggplant that ate Chicago
For he may eat your city soon
You'd better watch out for the eggplant that ate Chicago
If he's still hungry, the whole country's doomed

He came from outer space, lookin' for somethin' to eat
He landed in Chicago. He thought Chicago was a treat
(It was sweet, it was just like suger)

You'd better watch out for the eggplant that ate Chicago
For he may eat your city soon (wacka-do, wacka-do, wacka-do)
You'd better watch out for the eggplant that ate Chicago

He came from outer space, lookin' for somethin' to eat
He landed in Chicago. He thought Chicago was a treat

You'd better watch out for the eggplant that ate Chicago
For he may eat your city soon (wacka-do, wacka-do, wacka-do)

If he's still hungry, the whole country's doomed

Casa Dega


Casa Dega Composer(s): Mike Campbell - Tom Petty Performer(s): Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers



Well the clouds go by in the big blue sky
As the sun beats down on Casa Dega
And the moon pulls the tide and the tide brings night
But night is more than just a night in Casa Dega

Oh baby now I think I'm starting to believe the things that I've heard
'Cause tonight in Casa Dega I hang on every word

That she said to me as she holds my hand
And reads the lines of a stranger
Yeah and she knows my name yeah she knows my plan
In the past in the present and for the future

Oh honey now I think I'm starting to believe the things that I've heard
'Cause tonight in Casa Dega I hang on every word

That she said...

Baby fools pay the price of a whisper in the night in Casa Dega
Time rolls by, night is only night, can I save you?

Yeah more than just a night...

Flower Power
Composer(s): Chip Davis
Performer(s): Mud



Imagine this, of the flower power
My every wish is your command
We will love each other
Help one another
Let there be fools who look and laugh and laugh and laugh

Chorus
Flower power stays on your mind
Flower power makes you be kind
All the time, you love your neighbour to keep with the trend
(love, love, love)
Flower power will grow and grow
Flower power, let the people know
There's peace on earth we'll love until the end

Let's spread the news
Of the hippy's views
The bell has rung and war must cease
As the rose will grow and the weed must die
And long life makes us beautiful

Chorus

Imagine this, I've got flower power
Imagine this, I've got flower power

The Eagle And The Hawk


The Eagle And The Hawk
Composer(s): Mike Taylor - John Denver
First release by: John Denver - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



I am the eagle, I live in high country
In rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky

I am the hawk and there's blood on my feathers
But time is still turning they soon will be dry
And all those who see me and all who believe in me
Share in the freedom I feel when I fly

Come dance with the west wind and touch on the mountain tops
Sail over the canyons and up to the stars
And reach for the heavens and hope for the future
And all that we "can" be, not what we are

Casa De João De Rosa Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Edú Lobo Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Casa de João de Rosa
Rosa de João
João que levantou a casa
No boqueirão
João que fez aquela casa
Rosa fez questão
A casa de botão de Rosa
Que é de João

Rosa aconchegou a casa
Casa de joão-de-barro, a concha cor de Rosa
Não tem portão
João mandou fazer pra Rosa
Forro de alcatrão
Ninguém jamias entrou na casa
Que é de João

Roda Rosa pela casa
Coisa de João
João foi quem ensinou a Rosa
Rolar no chão
João cheirando aquela Rosa
Goza de antemão
E Rosa, amando aquela casa
Rega João
