Come Una Rosa
Come Una Rosa
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
E' stato un passo breve
Tutto e' stato grande
Forte immenso e lieve
Nella mia vita c'e' un'insolita gioia
Che sa chi si comprende
Attraverso i gesti di sempre
Poi, la fiamma si spande
E illumina il tuo sguardo
E quello che nasconde
Da ieri tu sei diventata grande
E sento che tu cambi
Questa mia esistenza
Nel riportare in me aria di adolescenza
Vivendo alla giornata
Non conoscevo che un'esistenza vuota
Ma adesso accanto a te
Io scopro la mia meta segreta
Di una vita quieta
Da una vita oscura, fatta di ansie
Dubbi, noia, leggi e mura
Questa felicita' mi servira' da guida
Attraverso i sentieri del tempo
E mi riportera' fuori dell'ombra
E' un nuovo mattino
Che non e' stato mai per me cosi' sereno
Se non sapevo piu' che fare della vita
E non dormivo mai per vivere di piu'
Ritrovo il gusto di sognare
E voglio offrire a te
La gioia che mi dai
Come una rosa, come una rosa
Se lo vuoi...

The Trial Of Hissing Sid
The Trial Of Hissing Sid
Composer(s): Jeremy Lloyd - Jim Parker
Performer(s): Keith Mitchell
Today's a special day
For Captain Beaky and his Band
Since Hissing Sid's been brought to trial
And in the dock he stands
Presiding is Lord Justice Pig
Who bangs his gavel twice
'Order!' cried the Clerk
Said Batty Bat, 'I'll have an ice'
'A good idea' said Timid Toad
'Make mine a lemon tea'
'Just one more word,' said Justice Pig
'And you'll do one to three'
'I won't have talking in my court'
'In law it's called contempt'
Said Artful Owl, 'as prosecution'
'I trust I'll be exempt'
Now Captain Beaky and his band
That's Rat, Bat, Toad and me
Apprehended Hissing Sid
Whilst doing villainy
Said Justice Pig, 'be more precise'
'What dark deed did he do?'
Said Batty Bat, 'before you sat'
'He wiped your seat with glue'
Said Justice Pig, 'It's not your turn'
'Your outburst I've deleted'
'But as I've tried to get up twice'
'The Court will all stay seated'
Said Q.C. Crow, 'I must object'
'To rabbits on the Jury'
'The way this case is going on
'My client's stiff with fury'
'What's wrong with rabbits Owl?' said Bat
'They look alright to me'
Said Beaky, 'there were 12 just now'
'And now there's 23'
'24!' cried Justice Pig,
'There's one more by my chair'
Said Q.C. Crow, 'there's little doubt'
'This trial is most unfair'
'And how can all these rabbits'
'Just arrived know good from bad?'
'They can't of course,' said Justice Pig
'Now hands up this one's dad'
'I f-fear we've lost the case,' said Toad
Sighed Beaky, 'sad but true'
Said Owl, 'there's one charge that will stick'
Cried Beaky, 'right, the glue'
Then they saw the empty dock
'He's gone,' cried Reckless Rat
'And so has my best overcoat'
'And where's my reckless hat?'
Said Beaky, 'he's disguised himself'
'It's up to us to find him'
And as he leapt off through the woods
His band were close behind him
But though they searched both high and low
And all points in between
Not a sign of Hissing Sid in
Hat and coat was seen
Said Bat, 'I'll fly up in the sky'
'And see if I can spot him,'
Said Timid Toad, 'I'll hold my breath'
'And breathe out when you've got him
'The weather's turning warm,' said Owl
'Who needs a hat and coat'
'We could spend all afternoon'
'All happily afloat'
'Good idea,' said Reckless Rat
'Right ho,' said Captain Beaky
'We'll climb aboard my biscuit tin'
'The H.M.S. Most Leaky'
And as they sailed off down the Thames
Bat searched with all his might
Until he signalled 'S.O.S.'
Which means, Snake Out Of Sight
Said Beaky, 'shouldn't Toad be green'
'I fear he's turning blue'
'He hasn't let his breath out yet'
Cried Rat, 'what shall we do?'
Said Owl, 'just pass the pepper pot'
'It's sure to make him sneeze'
'Apart from which, the wind's just dropped'
'We need the extra breeze'
Uh-uh-uh-uh--chew!
And guess who watched them disappear
From a dark hole where he hid
With beady eyes 'neath stolen hat
You're right - yes, Hissing Sid

Come Una Malattia
Come Una Malattia
French Title: Comme Une Maladie
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Come una malattia
Una febbre sconosciuta
Un giorno si abbattuta su me
E senza alcun rumore
Apri' dentro di me
Una ferita che oramai
Non si cura, non si cura
Forse mai piu'...
Come una malattia
Che non si sa' cos'e'
Che neanche il tempo riesce a guarire
Sul corpo scivolo'
Togliendomi cosi'
La forza di pensare, di parlare...
E ai miei mille perche'
La risposta se c'e' e' in me
Si oscuro' il sorriso sul viso
E il lume degli occhi miei
Sono l'ombra della felicita'
All'improvviso..
Come una malattia
Qualcosa entro' nel cuore
Che neanche il sole mai guari'
E cresce a non finire
Brucia da morire
In giorno come un fior svaniro'
Perche' ormai non si cura
Non si cura
Questo mio amor!

Rock And Roll Waltz
Rock And Roll Waltz
Composer(s): Roy Alfred; Shorty Allen
Performer(s): Kay Starr;
and various other artists
One night I was late, came home from a date
Slipped out of my shoes at the door
Then from the front room, I heard a jump tune
I looked in and here's what I saw
There in the night what a wonderful scene
Mom was dancing with Dad to my record machine
And while they danced, only one thing was wrong
They were trying to waltz to a rock and roll song!
a-one, two, and then rock
a-one, two, and then roll
They did the rock and roll waltz
a-rock, two, three, a-roll, two, three
It looked so cute to me
I love the rock and roll waltz
a-one, two, and then rock
a-one, two, and then roll
a-one, two, and then jump
It's good for your soul
It's old but it's new
Let's do the rock and roll waltz
There in the night what a wonderful scene
Mom was dancing with Dad to my record machine
And while they danced, only one thing was wrong
They were trying to waltz to a rock and roll song!
a-one, two, and then rock
a-one, two, and then roll
a-one, two, and then jump
It's good for your soul
It's old but it's new
Let's do the rock and roll waltz
Let's do the rock and roll waltz

The Trees They Do Grow High
The Trees They Do Grow High
(Adapted from: Lady Mary Anne - 1792)
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Joan Baez - 1961
The trees they grow high, the leaves they do grow green
Many is the time my true love I've seen
Many an hour I have watched him all alone
He's young, but he's daily growing
Father, dear father, you've done me great wrong
You have married me to a boy who is too young
I'm twice twelve and he is but fourteen
He's young, but he's daily growing
Daughter, dear daughter, I've done you no wrong
I have married you to a great lord's son
He'll be a man for you when I am dead and gone
He's young, but he's daily growing
Father, dear father, if you see fit
We'll send him to college for another year yet
I'll tie blue ribbons all around his head
To let the maidens know that he's married
One day I was looking o'er my father's castle wall
I spied all the boys a-playing at the ball
My own true love was the flower of them all
He's young, but he's daily growing
And so early in the morning, at the dawning of the day
They went out into the hayfield to have some sport and play
And what they did there, she never would declare
But she never more complained of his growing
At the age of fourteen, he was a married man
At the age of fifteen, the father of a son
At the age of sixteen, his grave it was green
And death had put an end to his growing
I'll buy my love some flannel and I will make a shroud
With every stitch I put in it, the tears they will pour down
With every stitch I put in it, how the tears will flow
Cruel fate has put an end to his growing

Come Un Ragazzo
Come Un Ragazzo
Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan
Come un ragazzo ho i capelli giù
porti il maglione che porti tu
e con la cinta mi tengo su i pantalon
Come un ragazzo mi ostino un po'
e quando guardi negli occhi miei
non sono quella che abbassa mai
per prima i suoi
Ma poi
una ragazzina
lo sai
che io son per te
E che
se non ti ho vicino
non so
cosa far di me
Come un ragazzo ho una moto che
tocca i duecento quando mi va
ed ho una gang di amici che
da retta a me
Come un ragazzo per la città
cammino e vado di qua e di la
non ho paura di gente che
ce l'ha con me
Però
una ragazzina
sarò
sempre accanto a te
E tu
tutto quel che vuoi
lo sai
che puoi far di me
Come un ragazzo ho i capelli giù
porti il maglione che porti tu
e con la cinta mi tengo su
i pantalon
Come un ragazzo mi ostino un po'
e quando guardi negli occhi miei
non sono quella che abbassa mai
per prima i suoi
Però
una ragazzina
sarò
sempre accanto a te
Ma si
la tua ragazzina
ed e'
molto meglio sai
cosi

Listen woman you needn't look so stupid

The Trees In Grosvenor Square
The Trees In Grosvenor Square
Composer(s): Bob Whittam
Performer(s): Doreen Lundy & The Radio Revellers
The trees in Grosvenor Square
What secrets do they share
Our hopes and fears
They’ve sheltered through the years
Those lovely trees in Grosvenor Square
But now the trees are bare
No longer do we linger there
I heard them sigh the night we said goodbye
And whispered a prayer in Grosvenor Square
They seemed to know that my heart travelled with you
(Oh London is not the same)
The trees with a sigh lift their arms to the sky
And softly whisper your name
They say please don’t despair
For sign of spring are everywhere
They know that soon I’ll find you again
With moonlight touching your hair
Beneath the trees in Grosvenor Square
Those wise old trees
The trees in Grosvenor Square
Those wise old trees
The trees in Grosvenor Square
In Grosvenor Square

Com’è triste Venezia
Soltanto un anno dopo
Com’è triste Venezia
Se non si ama più
Si cercano parole che nessuno dirà
E si vorrebbe piangere
Ma ormai non si può più
Com’è triste Venezia
Se nella barca c’è
Soltanto un gondoliere
Che guarda verso te
E non ti chiede niente
Perché negli occhi tuoi
E nella mente tua
C’è soltanto lei
Com’è triste Venezia
Soltanto un anno dopo
Com’è triste Venezia
Se non si ama più
I musei e le chiese
Si aprono per noi
Ma non lo sanno
Che ormai tu non ci sei
Troppo triste Venezia
Di sera la laguna
Se si cerca una mano
Che non si trova più
Si fa dell’ironia
Davanti a quella luna
Che un dì ti ha vista mia
E non ti vede più
Addio gabbiani in volo
Che un giorno salutaste
Due punti neri al suolo
Addio anche da lei
Com’è triste Venezia
Soltanto un anno dopo
Com’è triste Venezia
Se non si ama più

Rock & Roll Music
Rock & Roll Music
Composer(s): Chuck Berry
Performer(s): Chuck Berry;
and various other artists
Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
I've got no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And lose the beauty of the melody
Until they sound just like a symphony
That's why I go for that that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
I took my loved one over 'cross the tracks
So she can hear my man awail a sax
I must admit they have a rockin' band
Man, they were blowin' like a hurrican'
That's why I go for that that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Way down South they had a jubilee
The jokey folks they had a jamboree
They're drinkin' home brew from a water cup
The folks dancin' there are all shook up
And started playin' that that rock and roll music
Any old time you use it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Don't care to hear 'em play a tango
And In The Mood they take a mambo
It's way to early for a congo
So keep a rockin' that piano
That's why I go for that that rock and roll music
Any old time you use it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

Performer(s): Clyde McPhatter
and multiple other artists
The treasure of love is easy to find
It's waiting for you if your heart isn't blind
The treasure of love is not very far
It glows like a fire and it shines like a star
It's stronger than diamonds
Worth more than gold
For this is a treasure that never grows old
The treasure of love is found on no chart
To find where it is just look in your heart

É tão triste Veneza
No tempo da saudade
É tão triste Veneza
Se o amor terminou
Busca-se carinho
Encontra-se tristeza
A curva do caminho
Tua sombra apagou
É tão triste Veneza
Quando ouço no ar
Barcarolas que vem
Minha dor realçar
O coração se aperta
Quando as gôndolas passam
Acobertando amantes
Que felizes se abraçam
É tão triste Veneza
No tempo da saudade
É tão triste Veneza
Se o amor terminou
Os museus, as igrejas
Abrem em vão suas portas
Mostrando belezas
Inúteis e mortas
É tão triste Veneza
A noite olhando o mar
Quando se está sozinho
E não se quer chorar
E quando se ironiza
O que ficou pra traz
Querendo esquecer
O que não se tem mais
Adeus, todos os pombos
Que foram tão amigos
Ponte dos Suspiros
Adeus, sonhos perdidos
É tão triste Veneza
No templo da saudade
É tão triste Veneza
Se o amor terminou

Rock & Roll Lullaby
Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil
Performer(s): B.J. Thomas;
and various other artists
She was just sixteen and all alone when I came to be
So we grew up together, my mama-child and me
Now things were bad and she was scared but whenever I would cry
She'd calm my fear and dry my tears
With a rock and roll lullaby
And she'd sing
Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, it'll be all right
Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, just hold on tight
Sing it to me, mama
My, my, my, my mama
Sing it sweet and clear, oh mama let me hear
That old rock and roll lullaby
We made it through the lonely days but, Lord, the nights were long
And we'd dream of better mornin's when mama sang a song
Now I can't recall the words at all, it don't make sense to try
'cause I just knew lotsa love came through
In that rock and roll lullaby
And she'd sing
Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, it'll be all right
Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, just hold on tight
I can hear ya, mama
My, my, my, my mama
Nothin' moves my soul like the sound of the good old
Rock and roll lullaby

Performer(s): The Osmonds
From mountains high to valleys low, they speak the name of Jamie-O
Who with his pa, went searching for that gold in old California
By riverboat and wagon train, old Doc McPheeters crossed the plains
And told his son, keep moving on there's gold in old California
Go westward ho, young Jamie-O and you'll find fortune and fame
And to this day when tales are told of pioneers a thousand fold
McPheeters' name still shines like gold from Maine to old California
Go westward ho, young Jamie-O, and you'll find fortune and fame
And to this day when tales are told of pioneers a thousand fold
McPheeters' name still shines like gold from Maine to old California
From Maine to old California

If the song of the songbird
Could replace my wrong word
Then my dear, that's the song I would borrow

If the song of the swallow
Could reveal my sorrow
Then my dear, he would sing just for you
And tonight you would hear
The saddest song of the year
And you'd be mine once again come tomorrow
Just tonight, while in flight
On your windowsill daylight
To tell you all of my tears
And tonight you would hear
The saddest song of the year
And you'd be mine once again come tomorrow
If the song of the swallow
Could reveal my sorrow
Then my dear, he would sing just for you
And tonight you would hear
The saddest song of the year
And you'd be mine once again come tomorrow
