Les Temps Changent


Les Temps Changent
((Adapted from: The Times They Are A-Changin' (Bob Dylan) - 1964))
((Dutch Version: Er Komen Andere Tijden (Boudewijn de Groot) - 1965))
Composer(s): Bob Dylan - Hugues Aufray - Pierre Delanoë
Performer(s): Hugues Aufray - 1965



Où que vous soyez, accourez braves gens
L'eau commence à monter, soyez plus clairvoyants
Admettez que, bientôt, vous serez submergés
Et que si vous valez la peine d'être sauvés
Il est temps maintenant d'apprendre à nager
Car le monde et les temps changent

Et vous, les gens de lettres dont la plume est d'or
Ouvrez tout grands vos yeux car il est temps encore
La roue de la fortune est en train de tourner
Et nul ne sait encore où elle va s'arrêter
Les perdants d'hier vont peut-être gagner
Car le monde et les temps changent

Vous, les pères et les mères de tous les pays
Ne critiquez plus car vous n'avez pas compris
Vos enfants ne sont plus sous votre autorité
Sur vos routes anciennes, les pavés sont usés
Marchez sur les nouvelles ou bien restez cachés
Car le monde et les temps changent

Messieurs les députés, écoutez maintenant
N'encombrez plus le hall de propos dissonants
Si vous n'avancez pas, vous serez dépassés
Car les fenêtres craquent et les murs vont tomber
C'est la grande bataille qui va se livrer
Car le monde et les temps changent

Et le sort et les dés maintenant sont jetés
Car le présent bientôt sera déjà passé
Un peu plus chaque jour, l'ordre est bouleversé
Ceux qui attendent encore vont bientôt arriver
Les premiers d'aujourd'hui, demain, seront les derniers
Car le monde et les temps changent

Robert Le Diable


Robert Le Diable
Composer(s): Louis Arragon; Jean Ferrat
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat & Louis Arragon



Tu portais dans ta voix comme un chant de Nerval
Quand tu parlais du sang jeune homme singulier
Scandant la cruauté de tes vers réguliers
Le rire des bouchers t'escortait dans les Halles
Tu avais en ces jours ces accents de gageure
Que j'entends retentir à travers les années
Poète de vingt ans d'avance assassiné
Et que vengeaient déjà le blasphème et l'injure

Je pense à toi Desnos qui partis de Compiègne
Comme un soir en dormant tu nous en fis récit
Accomplir jusqu'au bout ta propre prophétie
Là-bas où le destin de notre siècle saigne

Debout sous un porche avec un cornet de frites
Te voilà par mauvais temps près de Saint-Merry
Dévisageant le monde avec effronterie
De ton regard pareil à celui d'Amphitrite
Enorme et palpitant d'une pâle buée
Et le sol à ton pied comme au sein nu l'écume
Se couvre de mégots de crachats de légumes
Dans les pas de la pluie et des prostituées

Je pense à toi Desnos qui partis de Compiègne
Comme un soir en dormant tu nous en fis récit
Accomplir jusqu'au bout ta propre prophétie
Là-bas où le destin de notre siècle saigne

Et c'est encore toi sans fin qui te promènes
Berger des longs désirs et des songes brisés
Sous les arbres obscurs dans les Champs-Elysées
Jusqu'à l'épuisement de la nuit ton domaine
O la Gare de l'Est et le premier croissant
Le café noir qu'on prend près du percolateur
Les journaux frais les boulevards pleins de senteur
Les bouches du métro qui captent les passants

Je pense à toi Desnos qui partis de Compiègne
Comme un soir en dormant tu nous en fis récit
Accomplir jusqu'au bout ta propre prophétie
Là-bas où le destin de notre siècle saigne

La ville un peu partout garde de ton passage
Une ombre de couleur à ses frontons salis
Et quand le jour se lève au Sacré-Coeur pâli
Quand sur le Panthéon comme un équarissage
Le crépuscule met ses lambeaux écorchés
Quand le vent hurle aux loups dessous le Pont-au-Change
Quand le soleil au Bois roule avec les oranges
Quand la lune s'assied de clocher en clocher

Je pense à toi Desnos qui partis de Compiègne
Comme un soir en dormant tu nous en fis récit
Accomplir jusqu'au bout ta propre prophétie
Là-bas où le destin de notre siècle saigne

Dolly's Lullaby


Dolly's Lullaby
Performer(s): Toni Harper



Just close your eyes and dream away
It's time to rest
You've had your day, my sweet
So tiny and sweet

This lullaby I sing to you
May all your dreams
Come smiling through
The angels will see that they do

Tomorrow the sunlight
Will shine on your hair
And all of the heavens
Will sing 'cause you're there

So close your eyes and have no fear
I'll be around
To dry your tears, my sweet
So tiny and sweet

Tomorrow the sunlight
Will shine on your hair
And all of the heavens
Will sing 'cause you're there

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ohh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'll be around
To dry your tears, my sweet
So tiny and sweet
So tiny and sweet

Come Sinfonia


Come Sinfonia ((French Version: Comme Une Symphonie (Dalida) - 1961)) Composer(s): Pino Donaggio First release by: Pino Donaggio - 1961 Covered by multiple other artists



Io sogno d'esserti vicino
e di baciarti
e poi svanire
in questo sogno irreale
lassù sento gli angeli
che cantano per noi
dolcemente, dolcemente
è un canto fatto di feliccità

Ascolto e ti vedo ancora
più vicina
la musica che sento
è come sinfonia
il coro degli angeli
mi fa sognare ancora
io vorrei, io vorrei
che questo sogno
fosse realtà

Robbin' The Cradle


Robbin' The Cradle
Composer(s): Anthony J. Bellusci
Performer(s): Tony Bellus



A broken heart is why
I sing this song to you
So you and all the world would know
Why I have let you go

They say I'm robbin' the cradle, little darlin'
Because I've fallen in love with you
They say I'm robbin' the cradle, little darlin'
Is it strange for true love to be so young?

Well, everybody says that you've got blue eyes
But your eyes are really brown like mine
Well, everybody says that you're unhappy
But, with me, you really look so fine

They say I'm robbin' the cradle, little darling
Because I've fallen in love with you
They say Im robbin' the cradle, little darlin'
Is it strange for true love to be so young?

Well, they all say that I'm outta line
'Cause I want to make you mine
But what very few people know
That we planned everything just so

They say I'm robbin' the cradle, little darlin'
Because I've fallen in love with you
They say I'm robbin' the cradle, little darlin'
Is it strange for true love to be so young?
Is it strange for true love to be so young?

The Time Will Come


The Time Will Come
Composer(s): M.J. Gunsky - Lester E. Stevens



You've grown weary of me dearie and you're going away
but you'll soon find you'll change your mind, and want me back some day

Every day dear you're away dear you'll be thinking of me
you'll be sighing, may be crying, dear you just wait and see

The time will come, you'll be feeling kind of blue
the time will come when you'll want me close to you
you'll miss my kiss, when the weary day is through
I know you'll miss, all the love I gave you
you won't forget, you'll be writing in everyday
how you regret, that you ever went away
you'll want me only, you'll want me, honey mine
I know the time will come

Come See About Me


Come See About Me
Composer(s): Brian Holland - Lamont Dozier - Edward Holland Jr.
First recording/First release by: The Supremes - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



I've been crying
'Cause I'm lonely (for you)
Smiles have all turned to tears
But tears won't wash away the fears
That you're never ever gonna return
To ease the fire that within me burns

It keeps me crying baby for you
Keeps me sighin' baby for you
So won't you hurry?
Come on boy, see about me
(Come see about me)
See about you baby

I've given up my friends just for you
My friends are gone
And you have too
No peace shall I find
Until you come back
And be mine
No matter what you do or say
I'm gonna love you anyway

Keep on crying baby for you
I'm gonna keep sighin' baby for you
So come on hurry
Come on and see about me
(Come see about me)
See about you baby

Sometime's up
Sometime's down
My life's so uncertain
With you not around
From my arms you maybe out of reach
But my heart says you're here to keep

Keeps me crying baby for you
Keep on, keep on crying baby for you
So won't you hurry
Come on boy, see about me (Come see about me)
See about you baby (Come see about me)
You know I'm so lonely (Come see about me)
I love you only (Come see about me)
See about your baby (Come see about me)
Hurry, hurry

Roadrunner (The Modern Lovers)


Roadrunner
Composer(s): Jonathan Richman
Performer(s): The Modern Lovers;
and various other artists



I'm in love with Massachusetts
And the neon when it's cold outside
And the highway when it's late at night
Got the radio on
I'm like the roadrunner

Alright
I'm in love with modern moonlight
128 when it's dark outside
I'm in love with Massachusetts
I'm in love with the radio on
It helps me from being alone late at night
It helps me from being lonely late at night
I don't feel so bad now in the car
Don't feel so alone, got the radio on
Like the roadrunner
That's right

Said welcome to the spirit of 1956
Patient in the bushes next to '57
The highway is your girlfriend as you go by quick
Suburban trees, suburban speed
And it smells like heaven(thunder)
And I say roadrunner once
Roadrunner twice
I'm in love with rock & roll and I'll be out all night
Roadrunner
That's right

Well now
Roadrunner, roadrunner
Going faster miles an hour
Gonna drive to the Stop 'n' Shop
With the radio on at night
And me in love with modern moonlight
Me in love with modern rock & roll
Modern girls and modern rock & roll
Don't feel so alone, got the radio on
Like the roadrunner
O.K., now you sing Modern Lovers

(Radio On!)
I got the AM
(Radio On!)
Got the car, got the AM
(Radio On!)
Got the AM sound, got the
(Radio On!)
Got the rockin' modern neon sound
(Radio On!)
I got the car from Massachusetts, got the
(Radio On!)
I got the power of Massachusetts when it's late at night
(Radio On!)
I got the modern sounds of modern Massachusetts
I've got the world, got the turnpike, got the
I've got the, got the power of the AM
Got the, late at night, (?), rock & roll late at night
The factories and the auto signs got the power of modern sounds
Alright

Right, bye bye!

Time Warp


Time Warp
Composer(s): Richard O'Brien
First release by: Jonathan Adams - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists



Riff Raff:
It's astounding
Time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely

Magenta:
Not for very much longer

Riff Raff:
I've got to keep control
I remember doing the Time Warp
Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me

Riff Raff & Magenta:
And the void would be calling

(Let's do the Time Warp again)
(Let's do the Time Warp again)

The Criminologist:
It's just a jump to the left
(And then a step to the right)
With your hands on your hips
(You bring your knees in tight)
(But it's the pelvic thrust)
(That really drives you insane)
(Let's do the Time Warp again)
(Let's do the Time Warp again)

Magenta:
It's so dreamy
Oh, fantasy free me
So you can't see me
No, not at all
In another dimension
With voyeuristic intention
Well secluded, I see all

Riff Raff:
With a bit of a mind flip

Magenta:
You're into the time slip

Riff Raff:
And nothing can ever be the same

Magenta:
You're spaced out on sensation

Riff Raff:
Like you're under sedation
(Let's do the Time Warp again)
(Let's do the Time Warp again)

Columbia:
Well I was walking down the street
Just a-having a think
When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink
He shook-a me up, he took me by surprise
He had a pick-up truck and the devil's eyes
He stared at me and I felt a change
Time meant nothing, never would again

(Let's do the Time Warp again)
(Let's do the Time Warp again)

The Criminologist:
It's just a jump to the left
(And then a step to the right)
With your hands on your hips
(You bring your knees in tight)
(But it's the pelvic thrust)
(That really drives you insane)
(Let's do the Time Warp again)
(Let's do the Time Warp again)

The Time It Is Today


The Time It Is Today
Performer(s): The Association



Sunrise, sunset
What you're born with is what you get
Let your fear just pass away
Then your love will fill your days
I know

I need so little, yet so much
Child's sweet laughter, woman's touch
I can't say just what is real
All I know is what I feel
I know

The time it is today
And we must find our way
My heartbeat clearly states
The answer's not in hate
I once believed
That love was but a dream
But now I know
That love's a flowing stream

They're lyin', killin'
They're pushin' their rules
They tell you the prophets
All were just fools
But I know different
And I won't be used
It's they that are lost
It's they are confused
They are confused
They are confused

Sunrise, sunset
What you're born with is what you get
All your worries, all your fears
They don't change the passing years
I know

Come Sail Away


Come Sail Away
Composer(s): Dennis DeYoung
Originally performed by: Styx
Covered by various other artists



I'm sailing away set an open course for the virgin sea
I've got to be free free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board I'm the captain so climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow on every shore
And I'll try oh Lord I'll try to carry on

I look to the sea reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We live happily forever so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But we'll try best that we can to carry on

A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope and this is what they said
They said come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me

I thought that they were angels but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
Singing come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me

Road Without End


Road Without End
Composer(s): Ronald Stein
Performer(s): Randy Sparks



Looks like we're comin' into town
Seems like this train is slowin' down

Can't help but wonder what's in store
Could be I've been here once before

A-driftin'
The world is my friend
I'm travlin' along the road without end

Ridin' these rails town to town
Sometimes I think I'll settle down

But I know I'd hunger to be free
Rovin's the only life for me

A-driftin'
The world is my friend
I'm travlin' along the road without end

The Time Has Come


The Time Has Come
Composer(s): Les Vandyke
Performer(s): Adam Faith



The time has come for me to hang my head in shame
The time has come for me to say that I'm to blame
The time has come for love's return but it won't be the same
Oh please believe me I won't make the same mistakes again

The time has come to end this very sad affair
The time has come for you and I once more to share a summers kiss
But love's return won't ever be the same
Oh please believe me I won't make the same mistakes again

No more sorrows, no more cheating
Our tomorrows won't be repeating the past

So here am I to ask if you can still forgive
If you can love, the time has come for love to live
With no regrets, but take my word that love won't be the same
Oh please believe me I won't make the same mistakes again

Oh please believe me I won't make the same mistakes again

Originally performed by: Ruby Hill & Harold Nicholas
Covered by various other artists



I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain and deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't ever bet me
"Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
And won't it be fine
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine

Road To Rio


Road To Rio
Composer(s): Al Blake
Performer(s): Canned Heat



Well, I was livin' on the road
Couldn't get a decent meal
My baby, she gave me a dirty deal
Now I'm hitchhikin' on the road to Rio
Tryin' to flag a ride from an automobile

Won't somebody stop and let me ride?
Why don't you stop and let me ride?
Won't somebody let me ride?
I'm movin' on down the line

I'm standing on the road right by the side
Nobody knows how many tears I've cried
I've even thought about suicide
I guess it must be time to take a ride

Won't somebody stop and let me ride?
Why don't you stop and let me ride?
Won't somebody let me ride?
I'm movin' on down the line

Standin' on the road right by the side
Watchin' all the cars keep passin' by
The sun's goin' down, but I don't mind
I'm gonna catch a ride if it takes all night

Won't somebody stop and let me ride?
Why don't you stop and let me ride?
Won't somebody let me ride?
I'm movin' on down the line

Now it was 2:00 am and I was high and dry
This beautiful chick gave me the eye
She opened the door and I slid by her side
And we headed on down the line

I'm so glad she stopped and let me ride
Somebody finally let me ride
I'm so glad she stopped and let me ride
We're gonna boogie on down the line

Rio
One hundred miles ahead
We're gonna moving on down the line

Knowing you stand by me through good and bad
Makes all the difference in my life
And day by day, sweetheart, I find
These are the ties that bind

The little things you do that please me so
Aww, the way you always understand
When simple joys bring peace of mind
These are the ties that bind

You're all I need to see me through
Can I say more than this, my love?
I live just for your kiss, my love
I live just for your kiss, my love

Forever and a day, my love will live
Mmm, the flame of love will never die
So heart and soul please say you're mine
Held by the ties that bind

(These are the ties that bind)

English & Italian Titles:
Come Prima (For The First Time; Come Prima
Composer(s): Jacques Larue; Alessandro Taccani; Enzo Di Paola
Performer(s): Dalida
and various other artists
(Originally performed by: Tony Dallara)



Come prima tu me donnes
Tant de joie
Que personne ne m'en donne
Comme toi
C'est ta bouche qui m'apporte
Ma joie de vivre
Et ma chance c'est de vivre
Rien que pour toi
Que m'importe si tu m'aimes
Moins que moi
Moi je t'aime comme on n'aime
Qu'une fois
Et je reste prisonnière
Prisonnière de tes bras
Come prima tu me donnes
Tant de joie!

Tu trouves mon chéri quand on est ensemble
Que rien ne semble m'intéresser
Comment prêter aux gens la moindre importance
Quand je ne pense qu'à t'embrasser...

Come prima tu me donnes
Tant de joie
Que personne ne m'en donne
Comme toi
C'est ta bouche qui m'apporte
Ma joie de vivre
Et ma chance c'est de vivre
Rien que pour toi
Come prima tu me donnes
Tant d'amour
Que j'espère te le rendre
Quand heureuse dans tes bras
Je me donne je me donne
Toute à toi!
Je me donne je me donne
Toute à toi!
