I Concentrate On You
I Concentrate On You
Composer(s): Cole Porter
First performance: Douglas McPhail - 1940
Covered by multiple other artists
Whenever skies look gray to me and trouble begins to brew
Whenever the winter winds become too strong
I concentrate on you
When fortune cries "Nay, nay" to me
And people declare "You're through"
Whenever the blues become my only song
I concentrate on you
On your smile, so sweet, so tender
When at first my kiss you do decline
On the light in your eyes when you surrender
And once again our arms intertwine
And so when wise men say to me
That love's young dream never comes true
To prove that even the wise men can be wrong
I concentrate on you

Je Voudrais Faire Cette Chanson
Je Voudrais Faire Cette Chanson
Composer(s): Yves Duteil
Performer(s): Yves Duteil
Je voudrais faire cette chanson
Pour faire chanter notre maison
Pour faire chanter tout l'Univers à ma façon
Avec l'amour pour diapason
Pour faire chanter tout l'Univers à l'unisson
Je voudrais faire cette chanson
Avec mon cœur et mes frissons
Les plus beaux jours de nos moissons
Les mots qu'on dit mais qui se perdent à l'horizon
Vers ceux qu'on aime et qui s'en vont
Pour ceux que j'aime et qui peut-être se perdront
Je voudrais faire cette chanson
Mmmm...
Avec nos cœurs et le meilleur de notre histoire
Le bonheur et le désespoir
Avec ton corps et la douceur de ton regard
Dans les accords de ma guitare
Je voudrais faire cette chanson
Pour faire pleurer notre maison
De ces instants parfois trop lourds et bien trop longs
Où le bonheur est en prison
Pour que jamais l'amour ne perde la raison
Je voudrais faire cette chanson
Et jusqu'au jour de nos moissons
Je voudrais, de mille façons
Te dire je t'aime et de nos cœurs à l'unisson
Dans un élan dans un frisson
Offrir au monde un jour ma plus jolie chanson
Aux yeux verts et aux cheveux blonds
Mmmm...
Pour faire chanter tout l'Univers à ma façon
Avec l'amour pour diapason
Pour faire chanter
Tout l'Univers à l'unisson
Je voulais faire cette chanson

Io per lei vincerei
Anche il sole, perchè
Questa vita che ho è per lei

To Be A Man
To Be A Man
Composer(s): Tom Scholz
Performer(s): Boston
What does it take to be a man?
What dos it take to see it's a heart and soul, a gentle hand?
So easy to want and so hard to give
How can you be a man 'til you see beyond the life you live?
Oh, what does it take to be a man?
We can be blind, but a man tries to see
It takes tenderness for a man to be what he can be
And what does it mean if you're weak or strong?
A gentle feelin' can make it right or make it wrong
What does it take to be a man?
The will to give and not receive
The strength to say what you believe
The heart to feel what others feel inside
To see what they can see
A man is somethin' that's real
It's not what you are
It's what you can feel
It can't be too late
To look through the hate
And see
I know that's what a man can be

Je Voudrais Être Noir
Composer(s): Nino Ferrer
Performer(s): Nino Ferrer
Hey hey hey, Monsieur Wilson Picket
Hey hey hey, toi Monsieur James Brown
S'il vous plaît dit's-moi comment vous fait's
Monsieur King, Monsieur Charles, Monsieur Brown
Moi je fais de mon mieux pour chanter comme vous
Mais je ne peux pas grand chos', je ne peux rien du tout
Je crois que c'est la couleur, la couleur de ma peau qui n'va pas
Et c'est pourquoi je voudrais
Je voudrais être noir
Je voudrais être noir
Hey hey hey, dis-moi Monsieur Faubus
Hey hey hey, dis-moi comment les blancs
Font pour vendre les nègr's à l'argus
Et pour en brûler de temps en temps
Moi je fais de mon mieux pour ne pas y penser
Mais je me sens très souvent très très embarrassé
Par la couleur de ma peau qui me démoralis' un p'tit peu
Et c'est pourquoi je voudrais
Je voudrais être noir
Je voudrais être noir
Hey hey hey, vous les Saints, les Élus
Hey hey hey, vous les simples d'esprit
Vous qui chantez tout de blanc vêtus
Dans les verts pâturag's près de lui
Dites-moi s'il vaut mieux pour entrer dans c'royaum'
Avoir plutôt la peau noire ou plutôt la peau jaun'
Et si le blanc n'est pas un' couleur déconseillée parmi vous
Quoi qu'il en soit je voudrais
Je voudrais être noir
Je voudrais être noir
Je voudrais être noir
Je voudrais être noir
Je voudrais être noir...

De Hoge C
De Hoge C
((Adapted from: To All The Girls I've Loved Before (Albert Hammond) - 1977))
Composer(s): Albert Hammond - Hal David - André Hazes
Performer(s): André Hazes - 1984
De weg naar roem is altijd lang
Het is een hele overgang
Maar kom vertrouw op mij
In deze maatschappij
Ben jij straks de gevierde man
De hoge "C" is niets voor mij
Een opera gaat aan mij voorbij
Want ik zing voor de gein
Die lessen doen me pijn
Oh die hoge "C" is niets voor mij
Wat is het heerlijk om te zingen
Het helpt je door `t diepste dal
Als ik muziek hoor wil ik springen
Ja ik wil zingen overal
Ga door straks lach je om die noot
Nog even met de billen bloot
Van tuinman tot een ster
Ik breng je echt zover
Ga door straks lach je om die noot
De hoge "C" is niets voor mij
Oh maak ik jou daar mee zo blij
Ik denk dat ik maar stop
Ik hoef niet naar de top
De hoge "C" is niets voor mij
Wat is het heerlijk om te zingen
Het helpt je door `t diepste dal
Als ik muziek hoor wil ik springen
Ja ik wil zingen overal
Die hoge "C" is niets voor mij
He Drètje kom vertrouw op mij
Maar ik zing voor de gein
Het doet geen centje pijn
Die hoge "C" is niets voor mij
Die lage "B" is niets voor mij
C c zingen oh was `t een "C"
He Drètje kom vertrouw op mij
Maar ik zing…hé Drè toe nou touwtje maken
Wat moet je nou met je touwtje
Het doet geen centje pijn
Die hoge "C" is niets voor mij

I Close My Eyes And Count To Ten
I Close My Eyes And Count To Ten
Composer(s): Clive Westlake
First release by: Dusty Springfield - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
It isn't the way that you look
And it isn't the way that you talk
It isn't the things that you say or do
Make me want you so
It is nothing to do with the wine
Or the music that's flooding my mind
But never before have I been so sure
You're the someone I dreamed I would find
It's the way you make me feel
The moment I am close to you
It's a feeling so unreal
Somehow I can't believe it's true
The pounding I feel in my heart
The hoping that we'll never part
I can't believe this is really happening to me
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you're still here
I close my eyes and count again
I can't believe it but you're still here
We were strangers a moment ago
With a few dreams but nothing to show
The world was a place
With a frown on its face
And tomorrow was just, I don't know
But the way you make me feel
The moment I am close to you
Makes today seem so unreal
Somehow I can't believe it's true
Tomorrow will you still be here?
Tomorrow will come but I fear
That what is happening to me
Is only a dream
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you're still here
I close my eyes and count again
I can't believe it but you're still here
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you're still here

Je Voudrais Bien Être
Je Voudrais Bien Être
Performer(s): André Bourvil
Je voudrais bien être ton sac
Tu aurais toujours peur de me perdre
Je voudrais bien être ton calepin
Tu me donnerais des rendez-vous
Je voudrais bien être ta robe
Celle que tu préfères aux autres
Je voudrais bien être tes souliers "hé hé hé"
J'irais partout ou tu irais
Je voudrais bien être ton collier
je serais pendu à ton cou
Je voudrais bien être ton visage
Tu me regardrais avec amour
Je voudrais bien être le soleil
Tu m'offrirais ton corps
Je voudrais bien être ton chien
Tu me couvrirais de carresses
Je voudrais bien être ton coeur
Alors je battrais pour moi
Je voudrais bien être ton amant
Car tu sortirais avec moi.
Mais je ne suis rien que moi
Et tu ne me vois pas
Mais je ne suis rien pour toi
Je ne suis que ton mari...!!!

To All The Girls I've Loved Before

Composer(s): Albert Hammond - Hal David
First release by: Albert Hammond - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists
To all the girls I've loved before
Who travelled in and out my door
I'm glad they came along
I dedicate this song
To all the girls I've loved before
To all the girls I once caressed
And may I say I've held the best
For helping me to grow
I owe a lot I know
To all the girls I've loved before
The winds of change are always blowing
And every time I try to stay
The winds of change continue blowing
And they just carry me away
To all the girls who shared my life
Who now are someone else's wives
I'm glad they came along
I dedicate this song
To all the girls I've loved before
To all the girls who cared for me
Who filled my nights with ecstasy
They live within my heart
I'll always be a part
Of all the girls I've loved before
The winds of change are always blowing
And every time I try to stay
The winds of change continue blowing
And they just carry me away
To all the girls we've loved before
Who travelled in and out our doors
We're glad they came along
We dedicate this song
To all the girls we've loved before
To all the girls we've loved before
Who travelled in and out our doors
We're glad they came along
We dedicate this song
To all the girls we've loved before

I Chased You Till You Caught Me
Composer(s): Wayne Walker
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Loretta Lynn
I chased you till you caught me you had plans all your own
It didn't come as no surprise and you knew it all along
Now I guess you think you're a pretty cute but I've got news for you
It don't really matter to me just who caught who
Well it was a long hard race I thought I've finally won
I thought I really played it smart but brother was I dumb
You thought you'll pull to figure out and won my heart and hand
But things were only workin' out accordin' to my plans
I chased you till you caught me you had plans all your own
It didn't come as no surprise and you knew it all along
Now I guess you think you're a pretty cute but I've got news for you
It don't really matter to me just who caught who
Now you were playin' hard to get from a danglin' on a string
I was only holdin' out for a pretty weddin' ring
So you went to the jewelers to get my big surprise
But you done been there a month before and given them your size
I chased you till you caught me you had plans all your own
It didn't come as no surprise and you knew it all along
Now I guess you think you're a pretty cute but I've got news for you
It don't really matter to me just who caught who
It don't really matter to me just who caught who

Au coeur vibrant
Comme une guitare que tu puisses
Remplir de ta chanson

(Let the bells ring out for Christmas)
(Let the whole World know it's here)
Well, let the bells ring out for Christmas
Let 'em spread the joy and cheer
Make the whole World know that Christmas Day
Is a special day each year
For the kids there's excitement all over their faces
When they find Santa brought 'em that brand new toy
And for the sad, and the sick, and the lonely
Why, just the thought of Christmas brings 'em a little joy
(So let the bells ring out for Christmas)
(Let them spread the joy and cheer)
(Let the whole World know that Christmas Day)
(Is a special day each year)
But though there's fun and laughter for all
And tidings that bring good cheer
Let's not forget at Christmastime
Just why this day is here
(So let the bells ring out for Christmas)
(Let them spread the joy and cheer)
Let the whole World know that Christmas Day
Is a special day each year

I Caught Your Act
Composer(s): Wally Holmes
Performer(s): Hues Corporation
Curtain going up-up-up - curtain going up-up-up
Walking along the street last night, I happened to see you within
You went into a picture show - the drama was about to begin
Followed you inside, didn't try to hide
The lights were down, you took his hand and when the movie star-arted
You moved right in so close to him - it left me broken hear-eart brea-ea-ea-eak
I caught your act, oh I saw what you did girl
I caught your act, caught your act baby
I saw the whole thing, you got carr-arried away
It was easy to see-ee, there was no part for me
Oh-oh, I caught your act, oh I saw what you did girl
I caught your act, caught your act baby
(Caught your act, caught your act baby)
And I got caught in the dark
Curtain going up-up-up
Caught you baby, yes I did, he was holdin' you in his arms, yeah
Curtain going up-up-up - one night stand with your thievin' man
Curtain going up-up-up - did he buy popcorn, did he buy candy
Why'd you ever get together
When you played those long love scenes your kisses failed to show
I had the best seat in the house
And when the lights came on you were the first one to know
Oh-oh, I caught your act, oh I saw what you did girl
I caught your act, caught your act baby
I saw the whole thing, you got carr-arried away
It was easy to see-ee, there was no part for me
Oh-oh, I caught your act, oh I saw what you did girl
I caught your act, caught your act baby
(Caught your act, caught your act baby)
And I got caught in the dark
Curtain going up-up-up - followed you inside, didn't try to hide
Caught you baby, yes I did, he was holdin' you in his arms, yeah
Curtain going up-up-up - followed you inside, didn't try to hide

Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Je voudrais pouvoir te donner
Ton premier rêve, ton premier cri
Je voudrai pouvoir te voler
Ton coeur qui s'ouvre dans la vie
Je voudrai si tu le permets
Frôler ton âme par des mots fous
Je voudrai mon Dieu si j'osais
Poser mes mains là dans ton cou
J'ai le front brûlant de fièvre
Une angoisse au coeur quand je pense à toi
J'ai la vie au bord des lèvres
Écoute ma voix
Je voudrais trouver dans tes yeux
Ce que j'espère jour après jour
Je voudrais et si tu le veux
Nous pourrons rire avec l'amour

To A Child
To A Child
Performer(s): Laura Nyro
What is life?
Did you read about it
In a magazine?
Silent lies
Never give you what you need
Is there hope
For a mother
And an elf on speed?
Kiss the sun hello
Child in the park
Make your life a lovin' thing
I'm so tired
You're so wired
And I'm a poet
Without a poem
And you are my child
"So serene"
Read about us in a magazine
Then why are we
Crying by the washing machine?
Let's run away child
And follow a dream
Kiss the sun hello
Child in the park
Make your life a lovin' thing
The park is late
The wind is strong
The trees have eyes
And you are my song
My lovely song
What is love?
Child I am here
to stand by you
And you will find
You own way hard and true
And I'll find mine
'Cause I'm growin' with you
Kiss the sun hello
God & Goddess
Make his life a lovin' thing
And if I smile as you reach
above the climbin' bars
To see the stars
You are my love
Child my love

Je Vivrai Pour Deux
Je Vivrai Pour Deux
Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan
Je caresse des doigts l'endroit où tu posais ta tête
Le jour à peine né entrait par la fenêtre ouverte
Ma vie commence ainsi chaque matin sans toi
Et je fais de mon mieux pourtant
Je ne m'habitue pas
J'essaie de dire les mêmes mots, de faire les mêmes gestes
Dans cette vie qui n'est plus pour moi qu'une île déserte
Et je remets la robe blanche que tu aimais
Et en fermant les yeux je peux te sentir là tout près
Refrain:
Je vivrai pour nous deux, je vivrai pour toi
Notre amour, notre vie en rêve
Je tisserai mes jours
Tout autour de toi
Je vivrai mon amour que pour toi
Je vivrai pour deux, les nuits et les jours
J'inventerai tes mots, tes gestes
Je ne serai plus seule, nous serons toujours deux,
Je vivrai notre amour pour nous deux
Je vois des ronds dans l'eau où tu ne jettes plus de pierres
Le soleil et le vent sont tes mains sur ma robe claire
Puis j'écoute ton rire caché dans le lit du ruisseau
Et dans mes rêves, je retrouve le goût de ta peau
