Ce Garçon Qui Danse
Ce Garçon Qui Danse
Composer(s): Michel Berger
Performer(s): France Gall
Et mes souvenirs d'enfance
Peuplent déjà ma mémoire
De ces monuments immenses
Et des pavés, des trottoirs
Quand la nuit tombait l'hiver
Comme tous les enfants des villes
Moi, je rêvais de la mer
Et du soleil dans les îles
Mais le temps a rendu le monde petit
Et ma vie passe
Et se balance
Comme ce garçon qui danse
Un jour bancal
Un jour de chance
Comme ce garçon qui danse
Peut-être un jour
Mon existence
Aura-t-elle un sens
En attendant
Je suis la cadence
Comme ce garçon qui danse
Et si je suis vieille un jour, tant pis
Si j'ai pu connaître l'amour, tant pis
Toi qui n'es pas encore née, je t'envie
Moi qui connaît ta destinée, aujourd'hui
Le temps a rendu le monde petit
Et ma vie passe
Et se balance
Comme ce garçon qui danse
Un jour bancal
Un jour de chance
Comme ce garçon qui danse
Peut-être un jour
Mon existence
Aura-t-elle un sens
En attendant
Je suis la cadence
Comme ce garçon qui danse
Et ma vie passe
Et se balance
Comme ce garçon qui danse
Un jour bancal
Un jour de chance
Comme ce garçon qui danse
Un jour banal
Un jour de chance
Comme ce garçon qui danse

For A Penny
For A Penny
Composer(s): Charlie Singleton
Performer(s): Pat Boone
Darling, darling, darling
If you should say we're through
I would sell my heart for a penny
'cause it's worthless to me without you
Oh, oh, oh
With these arms I hold you
That's all I use them for
I would sell these arms for a penny
If they couldn't hold you any more
In other words I seem to have nothing at all
Unless I have you by my side
Without you my whole world would crumble and fall
But with you I'm so satisfied
Oh, oh darling, darling, darling
I swear by up above
For a penny, for a penny, for a penny
I'd give all that I own for your love
I'd give all that I own for your love

The Foggy, Foggy Dew
The Foggy, Foggy Dew
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Burl Ives
and multiple other artists
When I was a bachelor, I lived all alone
I worked at the weaver's trade
And the only, only thing ever I did that was wrong
Was to woo a fair young maid
I wooed her in the wintertime
Part of the summer, too
And the only, only thing ever I did that was wrong
Was to keep her from the foggy, foggy dew
One night she knelt close by my side
When I was fast asleep
She threw her arms around my neck
And she began to weep
She wept, she cried, she tore her hair
Ah, me! What could I do?
So all night long I held her in my arms
Just to keep her from the foggy foggy dew
Again I am a bachelor, I live with my son
We work at the weaver's trade
And every single time I look into his eyes
He reminds me of that fair young maid
He reminds me of the wintertime
Part of the summer, too
And the many, many times that I held her in my arms
Just to keep her from the foggy, foggy, dew

Ce Fou De Nicolas
Ce Fou De Nicolas
Composer(s): Michel Delpech - Jean-Michel Rivat - Michel Albert Louis Pelay
Performer(s): Michel Delpech
On a dansé huit jours en Italie
On a fait trois jours à Londres
Le public était conquis
On a joué pour les Français
Toute la salle était debout
Au palais des sports à Paris
La vie d'artiste, c'est ma vie à moi
Le bolchog et les tournées
Me font connaître des grands soirs
Mais quand je reviens chez-nous
Maria Ivanovna, je suis heureux de te revoir
Comment fera ce fou de Nicolas
Il a voulu rester vivre là-bas
Si j'étais loin de toi et loin de la Russie
Je me connais, je crèverais de nostalgie
C'est vrai qu'en France, tout est différent
On se promène à minuit et puis on parle avec les gens
Il y a des magasins où l'on voudrait tout emporter
Et des chansons dans les cafés
Aux Champs-Élysées, j'ai trouvé pour toi
Des produits de maquillage et puis aussi des beaux mouchoirs
J'ai passé de bons moments
Mais Maria Ivanovna, je suis heureux de te revoir
Comment fera ce fou de Nicolas
Il a voulu rester vivre là-bas
Si j'étais loin de toi et loin de la Russie
Je me connais, je crèverais de nostalgie
Je le revois dans mes bras, Nicolas
Je l'ai serré sur le cœur dans une salle de départ
Il m'a dit qu'il nous aimait, Maria Ivanovna
Mais nous reparlons de lui un autre soir
Il m'a dit qu'il nous aimait
Mais parle-moi plutôt de toi
Je suis heureux de te revoir

For A Dancer
For A Dancer
Composer(s): Jackson Browne
Performer(s): Jackson Browne;
and various other artists
Keep a fire burning in your eye
Pay attention to the open sky
You never know what will be coming down
I don't remember losing track of you
You were always dancing in and out of view
I must've always thought you'd be around
Always keeping things real by playing the clown
Now you're nowhere to be found
I don't know what happens when people die
Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try
It's like a song playing right in my ear
That I can't sing
I can't help listening
I can't help feeling stupid standing 'round
Crying as they ease you down
Cause I know that you'd rather we were dancing
Dancing our sorrow away
(Right on dancing)
No matter what fate chooses to play
(There's nothing you can do about it anyway)
Just do the steps that you've been shown
By everyone you've ever known
Until the dance becomes your very own
No matter how close to yours another's steps have grown
In the end there is one dance you'll do alone
Keep a fire for the human race
And let your prayers go drifting into space
You never know will be coming down
Perhaps a better world is drawing near
And just as easily, it could all disappear
Along with whatever meaning you might have found
Don't let the uncertainty turn you around
(The world keeps turning around and around)
Go on and make a joyful sound
Into a dancer you have grown
From a seed somebody else has thrown
Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own
And somewhere between the time you arrive and the time you go
May lie a reason you were alive but you'll never know

Ce coin de terre n'a pour frontière
Qu'un ciel qui danse et la plaine immense
Oui ce coin de terre n'a pas de frontière

D'où que tu viennes
Où que tu reviennes
Si tu t'arrêtes ma porte est ouverte
Le feu qui danse chante l'espérance
L'amour est là pour toi et moi
Tous ensemble
Ce coin de terre n'a pour frontière
Qu'un ciel qui danse et la plaine immense
Oui ce coin de terre n'a pas de frontière
L'amour est là pour toi et moi
Le ciel dessine sur la colline
Le long mirage de ses nuages
Et moi je chante et toi tu chantes
L'amour est là pour toi et moi
Encore
Ce coin de terre n'a pour frontière
Qu'un ciel qui danse et la plaine immense
Oui ce coin de terre n'a pas de frontière
L'amour est là pour toi et moi
Le vent de neige a pour cortège
Mille légendes là-bas sur la lande
Mais la plus belle c'est que je t'aime
L'amour est là pour toi et moi

Qu'un ciel qui danse et la plaine immense
Oui ce coin de terre n'a pas de frontière

Footsteps
Why did you say goodbye to me
Now I'm as lonely as can be
And as I feel a teardrop fall
I hear your footsteps down the hall
A walkin' away from me
Why did you say goodbye
Why did you make me cry
Now every day I wonder why
Why, oh why, oh why, oh
Footsteps
Footsteps
Footsteps
Footsteps
You're such a haunting memory
I pray that you'll come back to me
But as I say my evening prayers
I hear your footsteps on the stairs
A walkin' away from me
Why did you say goodbye
Why did you make me cry
Now every day I wonder why
Why, oh why, oh why, oh
Footsteps
Oh, oh, oh, oh

The Flying Saucer (Billy Cotton)
The Flying Saucer
Composer(s): Pitt
Performer(s): Billy Cotton
Is another world watching us?
Who are these strangers from space?
What is the mystery?
Let us reveal... the truth!
Two little men in a flying saucer
Flew round the world one day
Looked to left and right of it
Couldn’t stand the sight of it
And quickly flew away
They couldn’t stand anything they saw, sir
And didn’t care to stay
From the view they got of us
Hated all the lot of us
And quickly flew away
Took a look around and once they’d seen us
Hurried off to space
As quickly as they could to Mars and Venus
Saying, “What a place, to live in”
Two little men in a flying saucer
Had no desire to stay
When they cruised around the world
Sorry that they found the world
And quickly flew away
Said, “What a planet, wonder who began it”
As they flew across the USA
Heard Frank Sinatra, made a swift departure
And they quickly flew away
Flew over Britain, everybody sittin’
As they listened to the radio
What had they got on, good old Billy Cotton
But the two little men said, “Oh no!”
Oh really, Clarence, of all the terrible places
If I’d know it was like this here, I’d never have come
Now go on, drive the saucer back home at once
This isn’t our cup of tea and you know it
Two little men in a flying saucer
Had no desire to stay
When they cruised around the world
Sorry they had found the world
And quickly flew away (Flew away)
Yes they quickly flew away (Flew away)
Yes the quickly flew away

Cazadores De Huellas
Cazadores De Huellas
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero
He recorrido calles igual que un cazador
De huellas invisibles, tan sólo para ver
Si estabas y podía mirarme un rato
En tus ojos líquidos del color de mis sueños
Sigo la flecha que señala el sonido
De tus pisadas en la acera, de tu sombra
En las esquinas de la ciudad soleada
De tu luz en las terrazas de la noche
Tu amor deja huellas
Para hacer más seguro el camino
De los cazadores de huellas

Footprints In The Snow
Footprints In The Snow
Composer(s): Greg Lake
Performer(s): Emerson, Lake & Palmer
First time when you looked at me
You tried to hide but I could see
A special beauty in your eyes
Passion flying like a spark
Like an arrow to the mark
I feel it sting my jealousy
Before you know there's footprints in the snow
Desire like a river flows
Where it comes from no one knows
Love just like a flower grows
And then God only knows
It comes down like guillotine
Now I feel the rain
of love torn by a hurricane
One night eclipsed the sun
How deep still waters run
How deep they go like footprints in the snow
Take my love into your brest
Commit my spirit to the test
You will see him like a knight
His armour gleams
We'll fly upon his angel's wings
Above the clouds in rainbow rings
We can sail a ship of dreams
Chorus:
If you will take my hand
We can cross this desert made of sand
We can break in through the ice
And feel the wind of paradise
We'll feel it blow our footprints in the snow
Anytime you feel alone
Just raise your hand, pick up the phone
Take in my number, there I'll be
If one day your stars won't shine
I will give you some of mine
Cause they could fall so easily
We both know there's footprints in the snow

Come and fly away with me
Oh, pretty little girl
Fly away with me
We're gonna fly to the sky

I´ve been working so hard
I´m punching my card
Eight hours for what?
Oh, tell me what I got
I´ve got this feeling
That times´s just holding me down
I´ll hit the ceiling or else
I´ll tear up this town
Now I gotta cut loose
1-Footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes
Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Jack, get Mack, come on before we crack
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose...
You´re playing so cool, obeying every rule
Deep way down in your heart
You´re burning yearning for the sun
Somebody to tell you that life ain´t passing you by
I´m trying to tell you
It will if you don´t even try
You´ll get by if you´d only
Cut loose, footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes
Oo-wee Marie shake it, shake it for me
Woah, Milo come on, come on let´s go
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose...
You got to turn me around...and put your
Feet on the ground, gotta take the hold of all
I´m turning loose

Flower Of Sweet Strabane
Flower Of Sweet Strabane
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Brian Dullaghan
and multiple other artists
If I were King of Ireland and all things at my will
I'd roam through all creations new fortunes to find still
And the fortune I would seek the most you all must understand
Is to win the heart of Martha, the flower of sweet Strabane
Her cheeks they are a rosy red, her hair golden brown
And o'er her lily white shoulders it carelessly falls down
She's one of the loveliest creatures of the whole creation planned
And my heart is captivated by the flower of sweet Strabane
If I had you lovely Martha away in Innisowen
Or in some lonesome valley in the wild woods of Tyrone
I would use my whole endeavour and I'd try to work my plan
For to gain my prize and to feast my eyes on the flower of sweet Strabane
Oh, I'll go o'er the Lagan down by the steam ships tall
I'm sailing for Amerikay across the briny foam
My boat is bound for Liverpool down by the Isle of Man
So I'll say farewell, God bless you, my flower of sweet Strabane

Cavalo Ferro
Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner - Ricardo Bezerra
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
Montado num cavalo ferro
Vivi campos verdes me enterro
Em terras tropicamericanas
Tropicamericanas tropicamericanas
E no meio de tudo num lugar ainda mudo
Concreto, ferro, surdo, cego
Por dentro deste velho, deste velho
Deste velho mundo
Pulsando num segundo letal
No planalto central
Onde se divide, se divide, se devide
O bem e o mal, mal, mal, mal, mal
Vou achar o meu caminho de volta
Pode ser certo, pode ser direto
Caminho certo sem perigo, sem perigo
Sem perigo, sem perigo fatal
Caminho certo sem perigo, sem perigo
Sem perigo, sem perigo fatal

Composer(s): Zora Young
Performer(s): Zora Young
I'm a football widow, and you a couch potato
Hand me a sexy tomato
Wanna go out, dance along by the two
Take me out, no tellin' what I might do
I'm gonna wear pink rollers in my hair
Fluffy house shoes with a dog on the toe too
You don't take me out, no tellin' what I might do
Up off of that couch, shave, shower and dress
You gonna take me out tonight, there'll be no rest
If you don't take me out, no tellin' what I might do
I wear pink rollers in my hair,
Fluffy house shoes with a dog on the toe too
Oh baby I got the football widow blues too
You better take me out, no tellin' what I might do

Flower Of Scotland
Composer(s): Roy Williamson
Performer(s): The Corries
and multiple other artists
O flower of Scotland
When will we see
Your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again
The hills are bare now
And autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now
Which those so dearly held
That stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again
Those days are passed now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again
That stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again
O flower of Scotland
When will we see
Your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again
The hills are bare now
And autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now
Which those so dearly held
O flower of Scotland
When will we see
Your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again
