Tu Aurais Pu Vivre


Tu Aurais Pu Vivre
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



Tu aurais pu vivre encore un peu
Pour notre bonheur pour notre lumière
Avec ton sourire avec tes yeux clairs
Ton esprit ouvert ton air généreux

Tu aurais pu vivre encore un peu
Mon fidèle ami mon copain mon frère
Au lieu de partir tout seul en croisière
Et de nous laisser comme chiens galeux

Tu aurais pu vivre encore un peu

T'aurais pu rêver encore un peu
Te laisser bercer près de la rivière
Par le chant de l'eau courant sur les pierres
Quand des quatre fers l'été faisait feu

T'aurais pu rêver encore un peu
Sous mon châtaignier à l'ombre légère
Laisser doucement le temps se défaire
Et la nuit tomber sur la vallée bleue

T'aurais pu rêver encore un peu

Tu aurais pu jouer encore un peu
Au lieu de lâcher tes boules peuchère
Aujourd'hui sans toi comment va-t-on faire
Dans notre triplette on n'est plus que deux

Tu aurais pu jouer encore un peu
Ne pas t'en aller sans qu'on ait pu faire
A ces rigolos mordre la poussière
Avec un enjeu du tonnerre de Dieu

Tu aurais pu jouer encore un peu

On aurait pu rire encore un peu
Avec les amis des soirées entières
Sur notre terrasse aux roses trémières
Parfumée d'amour d'histoires et de jeux

On aurait pu rire encore un peu
Et dans la beauté des choses éphémères
Caresser nos femmes et lever nos verres
Sans s'apercevoir qu'on était heureux

On aurait pu rire encore un peu

Tu aurais pu vivre encore un peu
Ne pas m'imposer d'écrire ces vers
Toi qui savais bien mon ami si cher
A quel point souvent je suis paresseux

Tu aurais pu vivre encore un peu

I Think Of You


I Think Of You
Composer(s): Jack Elliott; Don Marcotte; Sergai Rachmaninov
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists



In the hush of evening
As shadows steal across my lonely room
I think of you, of lovely you

From afar the music
Of violins comes softly through the gloom
All I can do is think of you

Oh I can see you standing there before me
And I can hear you whisper you adore me

So when dusk is falling
I live again the loveliness we knew
I think of you, I think of you

Oh I can see you standing there before me
And I can hear you whisper you adore me

So when dusk is falling
I live again the loveliness we knew
I think of you, I think of you

Él (Charles Aznavour)


Él
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Él puede o ser gozo o ser dolor
Él puede ser encantador
mi bendición o lo que tengo que aprender
Él puede ser luz de amanecer
o un temporal que hay que temer
mi fiel galán o mi guardián
Todo en un día él puede ser
Él puede ser Jekyll o ser Hyde
un angelito o un volcán
Hacer del día un infierno o un Edén
Él es un espejo de mi luz
o puede ser la cruz tal vez
que todos tienen que llevar
alguna vez

Él, que siempre le sonríe a los demás
sus ojos desafían al mirar
Sólo yo sé cuando pueden llorar
Él puede ser tantas cosas a la vez
la sombra de una vida que se fue
volviendo a mí
desde el ayer

Él
Él puede ser una obsesión
puede ser hola o ser adiós
mi confusión
o el agua que calma la sed
Él tiene una risa musical
Él es mi antes, mi después
No soy capaz de imaginar
un mundo dónde no esté él
Él
Él

Tu Amante O Tu Enemigo


Tu Amante O Tu Enemigo
Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo - Harpo
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Vendo mi alma por hacerte feliz
cambio mi reino por ti sin dudar
tengo mis naves para ir tras de ti
y doy la vida por poderte amar
Pero no, no creas jamás
que eres la dueña de mi voluntad
Puedo ser, puedo ser
tu amante o tu enemigo
puedo ser, puedo ser
el fuego o el olvido... si o no
Soy una sombra que te sigue hasta el fin
un viejo barco en tu inmenso mar
soy un payaso cuando quieres reír
y el compañero de tu soledad
Pero no, no creas jamás
que eres la dueña de mi voluntad
Puedo ser, puedo ser
tu amante o tu enemigo
puedo ser, puedo ser
la rosa o el espino... si o no
Como las aves amo la libertad
y sin embargo hoy por ti
la trato de olvidar
Pero no, no creas jamás
que eres la dueña de mi voluntad
Puedo ser, puedo ser
tu amante o tu enemigo
puedo ser, puedo ser
el fuego o el olvido
Si o no... Si o no

I Think I Understand


I Think I Understand
Performer(s): Joni Mitchell



Daylight falls upon the path
The forest falls behind
Today I am not prey to dark uncertainty
The shadow trembles in its wrath
I've robbed its blackness blind
And tasted sunlight as my fear came clear to me

I think I understand
Fear is like a wilderland
Stepping stones or sinking sand

Now the way leads to the hills
Above the steeple's chime
Below me sleepy rooftops round the harbor
It's there I'll take my thirsty fill
Of friendship over wine
Forgetting fear but never disregarding her

Oh, I think I understand
Fear is like a wilderland
Stepping stones or sinking sand

Sometimes voices in the night
Will call me back again
Back along the pathway of a troubled mind
When forests rise to block the light
That keeps a traveler sane
I'll challenge them with flashes from a brighter time

Oh, I think I understand
Fear is like a wilderland
Stepping stones and sinking sand

Eisenhower Blues


Eisenhower Blues
Composer(s): J.B. Lenoir First release: J.B. Lenoir - 1954



Hey everybody, I was talkin' to you
I ain't tellin' you jivin', this is the natural truth
Mm mm mm, I got them Eisenhower blues
Thinkin' about me and you, what on earth are we gonna do?

My money's gone, my fun is gone
The way things look, how can I be here long?
Mm mm mm, I got them Eisenhower blues
Thinkin' about me and you, what on earth are we gonna do?

Taken all my money, to pay the tax
I'm only givin' you people, the natural facts
I only tellin' you people, my belief
Because I am headed straight, on relief
Mm mm mm, I got them Eisenhower blues
Thinkin' about me and you, what on earth are we gonna do?

Ain't go a dime, ain't even got a cent
I don't even have no money, to pay my rent
My baby needs some clothes, she needs some shoes
Peoples I don't know what, I'm gonna do
Mm mm mm, I got them Eisenhower blues
Thinkin' about me and you, what on earth are we gonna do?

Tu Abandono


Tu Abandono
Composer(s): Pedro García Cuevas
Performer(s): Javier Solís



Mi vida es un triste calvario desde que te fuiste
en mi alma cubierta de luto ya no hay ilusión
Me muero de angustia al perderte porque todavía
te quiero con todas las fuerzas de mi corazón

Te quiero no puedo negarlo que por tu abandono
me siento morir poco a poco en mi soledad

Es inútil negar que tu amor es mi todo en la vida
yo no puedo vivir si me faltan tus besos, tu amor
Mis labios marchitos sin besos sin cesar te nombran
y espero con ansia que vuelvas nuevamente a mí

Es inútil negar que tu amor es mi todo en la vida
yo no puedo vivir si me faltan tus besos, tu amor
Mis labios marchitos sin besos sin cesar te nombran
y espero con ansia que vuelvas nuevamente a mí

I Think I Love You


I Think I Love You
Composer(s): Tony Romeo
First release by: The Partridge Family - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



I'm sleeping
And right in the middle of a good dream
like all at once I wake up
From something that keeps knocking at my brain
Before I go insane
I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed
Screaming out the words I dread
"I think I love you!" (I think I love you)

This morning, I woke up with this feeling
I didn't know how to deal with
And so I just decided to myself
I'd hide it to myself
And never talk about it
And didn't I go and shout it
When you walked into my room
"I think I love you!" (I think I love you)

I think I love you
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for
I think I love you
Isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say
I've never felt this way

Believe me
You really don't have to worry
I only want to make you happy
And if you say
hey, go away, I will
But I think better still
I ought to stay around and love you
Do you think I have a case?
Let me ask you to your face
Do you think you love me?
I think I love you!

Einmal Um Die Welt


Einmal Um Die Welt
Performer(s): Mary Roos



Einmal um die Welt, einfach bleiben wo es uns gefällt Wir tanzen Samba bis der Morgen erwacht und geniesen die Nacht unterm Sternenzelt Einmal um die Welt, mit dir im Traumschiff um die ganze Welt Alle Sorgen sind für immer vorbei, endlich sind wir ganz frei, weil nur die Liebe zählt Ich träum schon lange von Sonne und Meer, Palmen am schneeweissen Strand Es ist viel zu lange her und ich sehne mich so sehr nach warmen Sommerwind Wir gehen auf die Reise nach Süden um tropische Länder zu sehen Wir lassen den Stress und die Sorgen zu Haus um das Leben ganz neu zu verstehen, das wäre schön Einmal um die Welt, einfach bleiben wo es uns gefällt Wir tanzen Samba bis der Morgen erwacht und geniesen die Nacht unterm Sternenzelt Einmal um die Welt, mit dir im Traumschiff um die ganze Welt Alle Sorgen sind für immer vorbei, endlich sind wir ganz frei, weil nur die Liebe zählt Wärmende Sonne umschmeichelt die Haut Cocktails auf Eis an der Bar Kein Gedenke an zu Haus, endlich sind wie da mal raus und leben unsern Traum Wir stehlen uns die Zeit um zu leben, die Sonne lädt uns dazu ein Dann lieben wir uns bis der Morgen beginnt und sehn zu wie die Zeit so verrinnt im Abendwind Einmal um die Welt, einfach bleiben wo es uns gefällt Wir tanzen Samba bis der Morgen erwacht und geniesen die Nacht unterm Sternenzelt Einmal um die Welt, mit dir im Traumschiff um die ganze Welt Alle Sorgen sind für immer vorbei, endlich sind wir ganz frei, weil nur die Liebe zählt Einmal um die Welt, einfach bleiben wo es uns gefällt Wir tanzen Samba bis der Morgen erwacht und geniesen die Nacht unterm Sternenzelt Einmal um die Welt, mit dir im Traumschiff um die ganze Welt Alle Sorgen sind für immer vorbei, endlich sind wir ganz frei, weil nur die Liebe zählt Alle Sorgen sind für immer vorbei, endlich sind wir ganz frei, weil nur die Liebe zählt

Tú


Tú
Composer(s): Honorio Herrero
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Vendí mi alma y me quité por ti la vida
y voy vagando y suspirando por volver
me equivoqué al morir de amor por tus mentiras
por tu veneno, por la droga de tu piel
y me condena recordar que te he querido
y me maldigo por ser aire y no vivir
y aunque te trato de olvidar no lo consigo
soy una sombra que camina tras de ti
Porque eres única tú, tú, tú
tú eres mi oxígeno tú, tú, tú
tú eres mi música tú, tú, tú
tú eres el límite de mi amor
Cuando atravieso las paredes de tu cuarto
y te descubro tan desnuda y tan feliz
quiero tocarte como un flash te desvaneces
maldita muerte que me obliga estar sin ti
y me revelo contra todo el universo
contra el infierno, contra el cielo y contra ti
si pudiera regresar, parar el tiempo
renacería nuevamente para ti
Porque eres única tú, tú, tú
tú eres mi oxígeno tú, tú, tú
tú eres mi música tú, tú, tú
tú eres el límite de mi amor
Pero en el mundo en el que vivo no hay palabras
y aunque te grite no me puedes escuchar
soy sólo un loco que por ti perdió la vida
soy un fantasma que no puede regresar
Tú eras la única tú, tú, tú
tú eras mi oxígeno tú, tú, tú
tú eras mi música tú, tú, tú
tú eras el límite de mi amor
Tu, la única
Tú, mi música
Tú

I Think I Like You


I Think I Like You
From the musical "Doctor Dolittle"
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
Performer(s): Rex Harrison & Samantha Eggar



Emma:
For a month or more
I have listened and dreamed
While the moon has glistened
And a million stars
Have gleamed
Waiting!

Dolittle :
Waiting?

Emma:
Waiting!

Dolittle:
What for?

Emma :
For a man i know
Who is clever and kind
But a man who never
Ever seems to know
His mind
Waiting!
Waiting!

Waiting for you to say
You like me - or hate me
Or miss me - or kiss me
Or something! but nothing!
Nothing do you say
At all!
Little wonder, I feel sorely neglected
Unwanted, rejected
And small!
Little more than two feet tall!
Lucky to be here at all!

Dolittle:
Emma, I - er

I think i like you...
Yes, I think I do!
I think I like you...
I'm almost sure that I do!
I think I like the way you look
The way your eyes reveal your mind...
Like a precious book
That is hard to find

I think I'm learning
Something strange and new...
But well worth learning
Because I'm learning about you!
Like dawning sunshine
When a new day is due
I think I like you
And I think you like me, too!...
Do you?

Emma:
Do you?

Both:
Do you?

Emma:
Yes, i do...
... I'm almost sure that I do...
I think I like the way I feel
Each time I feel your eyes feel mine
Like a gourmet meal
Needs a vintage wine......

I think I'm seeing
Something strange but true
For what i'm seeing
Is something wonderful in you!
Like finding April
When December is due...
I think I like you...

Dolittle:
I think I like you.....

Both:
And I think you like me, too!.....

Dolittle:
Do you?

Emma:
Do you?

Both:
Do you?

Eine Stadt


Eine Stadt
((Adapted from: Billie's Bounce (Charley Parker's Ree Boppers) - 1946)) Composer(s): Charlie Parker Performer(s): Udo Lindenberg



Eine Stadt haben sie ausgelöscht
irgendwo ging das Ding hoch
eine Stadt haben sie ausgelöscht
irgendwo ging so'n Ding hoch

Japan - China - USA

ich weiß nicht mehr genau, wo das war
ich hab's vorhin gehört im Radio
so nebenbei - so undeutlich - irgendwo
eine Stadt haben sie ausgelöscht

Frankreich - England - Australia
ich weiß nicht mehr genau, wo das war
dann kam's auch noch auf Kanal Zwo
so nebenbei - so undeutlich - irgendwo
eine Stadt haben sie ausgelöscht

Merry go round, merry go round
and the summer has just begun

Tu (Umberto Tozzi)


Tu
Composer(s): G. Bigazzi - Umberto Tozzi
Performer(s): Umberto Tozzi



Dan
Dabadan, dabadan
Dabadan,bam, bam, bam, bam
Tu stiamo qui stiamo là
C’è l’amore a cena e tu
Dimmi si se ti va
Il mio letto è forte e tu
Pesi poco di più della gommapiuma
Tu perché tu non ci sei
E mi sto spogliando
Tu quanti anni mi dai
Ho un lavoro strano e
Ma va là che lo sai
Vista da vicino tu
Sei più bella che mai
Baci da un minuto
Tu non ne dai, non ne dai
Chi ti ha fatto entrare
Tu,chi mi brucia sei tu
E anche la mia marcia in più
Ed un po’ di follia
Quanto basta perché tu come lei non sei mia
Se mi fai l’amore
Ti canterò
Come se fossi una canzone
Canterò e camminando sveglierò
Chi sta sognando più di me
Al mondo siamo io e te ragazza triste
Canterò la pioggia perché venga giù
Il vento che si calmi un po’
Il cielo perché sia più blu e mi sorrida tu
Dan
Dabadan dabadan
Dabadan,bam, bam, bam, bam
Tu, non sarai mica tu
Una saponetta che
Scivolando non c’è
Dimmi che da un’ora tu
Hai bisogno di me
Che ti ossigeno di più
Dimmi che non sei tu
Un miraggio, ma sei tu
Dan
Dabadan, dabadan
Dabadan, bam, bam, bam.
Canterò e camminando sveglierò...

I Think I Like It


I Think I Like It
Composer(s): Tom Scholz; J. English
Performer(s): Boston



Somethin' changin' for me inside
Took a long time
Now there's nothing' for me to hide
I say what's on my mind
Changes makin' me see the light
I finally see wrong from right
Now I can see every sign

Oooh, I think I like it
I think I like what I'm feelin'
Eventhough it's such a surprise
But you know
Oooh, I think I really like it
I think I like what I feel and
Changes really open your eyes

Oh, look at the world we make
What have we begun?
People livin' for what they take
All for number one
Changes makin' me see the light
I finally see wrong from right
Now that it's all said and done

Oooh, I think I like it
I think I like what I'm feelin'
Eventhough it's such a surprise
But you know
Oooh, I think I really like it
I think I like what I feel and
Changes really open your eyes

Oh doesn't love say enough
When you realize?
People try to come on so tough
All to fantasize
Changes takin' me through the night
I finally see the light
I've opened my eyes
Those changes can open your eyes

I Think About It All The Time


I Think About It All The Time
Composer(s): Billy Livsey; Don Schlitz
Performer(s): John Berry; The Nashville All-Stars



The way you laugh, the way you cry
The way that you smile without meaning to
The way you look me in the eye
I think about it all the time

The day we met, the dress you wore
You didn't know I was watching you
I've seen your face somewhere before
And I think about it all the time

It wasn't supposed to happen to me
I'm used to how it used to be
It's not like I've got nothing to do
But I can't keep my mind off you
No I cannot keep my mind off you

You're not a thouqht that comes and goes
You're more than a dream or a fantasy
Where it will lead love only knows
But I think about it all the time
All right

It wasn't supposed to happen to me
I'm used to how it used to be
It's not like I've got nothing to do
But I can't keep my mind off you
No I cannot keep my mind off you

The way you laugh, the way you cry
The way that you smile without meaning to
I'm just a man I can't deny
But I think about it all the time

Ein Lied


Ein Lied
Composer(s): D.L. Jones - Nick Munro Performer(s): Roger Whittaker



Wir haben tausend kleine Sorgen
und oft wird uns durch sie der Blick verstellt
Für weit größere Probleme und für all die vielen
ungelösten Fragen dieser Welt
Wir sprechen oft verschiedene Sprachen
Manches Missverständnis fängt so an
Gibt's nicht Worte die
die Menschen überall verstehen?
Gibt es nicht vielleicht ein Lied
dass jeder singen kann?

Wir brauchen ein Lied für uns alle zusammen
Ein Lied, Brücke zwischen Freund und Feind
Wer die Welt sieht weiß, dass uns die Zeit davonläuft
Wir brauchen ein Lied, das uns eint

Es sind zwar viele guten Willens
Doch der Einzelne schafft es niemals allein
Komm, versuchen wir's gemeinsam
denn unsere Zukunft fängt schon heute an
Vielleicht das uns ein Lied dabei helfen kann

Wir brauchen ein Lied für uns alle zusammen
Nur ein Lied, Brücke zwischen Freund und Feind
Wer die Welt sieht weiß, dass uns die Zeit davonläuft
Wir brauchen ein Lied, nur ein Lied, das uns eint

Trying To Love Two Women


Trying To Love Two Women
Composer(s): Sonny Throckmorton
Performer(s): The Oak Ridge Boys



Trying to love two women is like a ball and chain
Trying to love two women is like a ball and chain
Sometimes the pleasure ain't worth the strain
It's a long old grind, and it tires your mind

Trying to hold two women is tearing me apart
Trying to hold two women is tearing me apart
One's got my money, the other's got my heart
It's a long old grind, and it tires your mind

When you try to please two women, you can't please yourself
When you try to please two women, you can't please yourself
At best it's only half good; a man can't stock two shelves
It's a long old grind, and it tires your mind

Old Man Atom


Old Man Atom (aka Talking Atomic Blues)
Composer(s): Vern Partlow; Irving Bibo
Performer(s): Sons of The Pioneers; The Weavers



Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Alamogordo, Bikini

I'm gonna preach you all a sermon
About Old Man Atom, that's me
I don't mean the Adam in the Bible datum
I don't mean the Adam that Mother Eve elated

I mean that thing that science liberated
The thing that Einstein says he's scared of
And when Einstein's scared
Brother, you'd better be scared

If you're scared of the atom, here's what's you gotta do
You gotta gather all the people in the world with you
'Cause if you don't get together and do it
Well, first thing you know I'm gonna blow this world plum too

Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Alamogordo, Bikini

Now life used to be such a simple joy
My cyclotron was just a super toy
And folks got born, they'd work and marry
And "atom" was a word in the dictionary
And then it happened

The science boys, from every clime
They all pitched in with overtime
And before they knew it
The thing was done

And they'd hitched up the power of the Golden Sun
And put a harness on Old Sol
Splittin' atoms
While the diplomats was splittin' hairs

Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Alamogordo, Bikini

But the atom's here in spite of hysteria
Flourishes in Utah as well as Siberia
And whether you're a black, white, red or brown
The question is this, when you boil it down
To be or not to be, that's the question

The answer to it all ain't military datum
Like who gets there firstest with the mostest atoms
No, the people of the world must decide their fate
They gotta get together or disintegrate

I hold this truth to be self-evident
That all men may be cremated equal

Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Alamogordo, Bikini

Yes, it's up to the people
'Cause the atoms don't care
You can't fence me in, I'm just like air
I don't give a hoot about any politics
Or who got what into whichever fix

All I want to do is sit around
And have my nucleus bombarded by neutrons

Now the moral is this, just as plain as day
That Old Man Atom is here to stay
I'm gonna stick around and that's for true
But, ah, my dearly beloved, are you?

So listen folks, here is my thesis
Peace in the world or the world in pieces

Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Alamogordo, Bikini
