Lyrics/Paroles

01. Do you want to dance? (Beach Boys cover)

Do you want to dance and hold my hand
Tell me baby I'm your lover man
Oh baby do you want to dance?
Do you want to dance under the moonlight
Hold me baby all through the night
Oh baby, do you want to dance?

Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance?

Do you want to dance under the moonlight
Kiss me baby all through the night
Oh baby, do you want to dance?
Do you want to dance under the moonlight
Squeeze me, squeeze me baby all through the night
Oh baby, do you want to dance?

Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance?

Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance?

Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance?
02. Mandrague (Brigitte Bardot cover)

Sur la plage abandonnée
Coquillage et crustacés
Qui l'eût cru déplorent la perte de l'été
Qui depuis s'en est allé
On a rangé les vacances
Dans des valises en carton
Et c'est triste quand on pense à la saison
Du soleil et des chansons

Pourtant je sais bien l'année prochaine
Tout refleurira nous reviendrons
Mais en attendant je suis en peine
De quitter la mer et ma maison

Le mistral va s'habituer
A courir sans les voiliers
Et c'est dans ma chevelure ébouriffée
Qu'il va le plus me manquer
Le soleil mon grand copain
Ne me brulera que de loin
Croyant que nous sommes ensemble un peu fâchés
D'être tous deux séparés

Le train m'emmènera vers l'automne
Retrouver la ville sous la pluie
Mon chagrin ne sera pour personne
Je le garderai comme un ami

Mais aux premiers jours d'été
Tous les ennuis oubliés
Nous reviendrons faire la fête aux crustacés
De la plage ensoleillée
De la plage ensoleillée
De la plage ensoleillées
03. Oh Lori (Billy Alessi & Bobby Alessi cover)

I'd like to stay in love with you
All summer and after fall, I'll keep you warm through the winter
Because I've noticed one thing, this ain't no summer fling

I'd like to ride my bicycle with you
On the handlebars, you'd laugh and run away
And I'd chase you through the meadow
Without you I'd die, let's never say good-bye

Oh, Lori
You bring the spring, the summer, fall ooo and winter by the season
Oh, Lori (Oh, Lori)
You make me feel as though I've been born again, born again

You danced for me in your bare feet
That mellow afternoon when we made love to each other
And I'm loving you, that's all I want to do ooo

Oh, Lori
You bring the spring, the summer, fall ooo and winter by the season
Oh, Lori (Oh, Lori)
You make me feel as though I've been born again, born again

[Break]

Oh, Lori
You bring the spring, the summer, fall ooo and winter by the season
Oh, Lori (Oh, Lori)
You make me feel as though I've been born again, born again
Oh, Lori
You bring the spring, the summer, fall ooo and winter by the season
Oh, Lori (Oh, Lori)
You make me feel as though I've been born again, born again


04. Smooth Operator (Sade cover)


Diamond life, lover boy.
We move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy.
City lights and business nights.
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights.

No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
When sentiment is left to chance.
No place to be ending but somewhere to start.

No need to ask. He's a smooth operator, smooth operator.
Smooth operator, smooth operator.
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male.
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.

[Break]

Face to face, each classic case.
We shadow box and double cross, yet need the chase.

A license to love, insurance to hold.
Melts all your memories and change into gold.
His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold.

No need to ask. He's a smooth operator, smooth operator.
Smooth operator, smooth operator.

Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male.
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.

Smooth operator, smooth operator.
Smooth operator, smooth operator.
Smooth operator, smooth operator.
Smooth operator, smooth operator.

05. Everybody's gotta learn sometime (Korgis cover)

Change your heart, look around you
Change your heart, it will astound you
I need your loving like the sunshine
And everybody's gotta learn sometime
Everybody's gotta learn sometime
Everybody's gotta learn sometime
mmmm...

Change your heart, look around you
Change your heart, it will astound you
I need your loving like the sunshine
And everybody's gotta learn sometime
Everybody's gotta learn sometime
Everybody's gotta learn sometime
mmmm...

[Break]

And everybody's gotta learn sometime
Everybody's gotta learn sometime
Everybody's gotta learn sometime
mmmm...

06. All I have to do is dream (Everly Brothers cover)


Dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream
When I want you
In my arms
When I want you
And all your charms
Whenever I want you all I have to do is dream...

When I feel blue
In the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream...

I can make you mine
Taste your lips of wine
Any time
Night or day
Only trouble is
Gee whiz
I'm dreamin my life away

I need you so
That I could die
I love you so
And that is why
Whenever I want you all I have to do is dream...

I can make you mine
Taste your lips of wine
Any time
Night or day
Only trouble is
Gee whiz
I'm dreamin my life away

I need you so
That I could die
I love you so
And that is why
Whenever I want you all I have to do is dream

07. Septieme vague (instrumental)
08. A bicyclette (Yves Montand cover)

Quand on partait de bon matin, quand on partait sur les chemins
À bicyclette
Nous étions quelques bons copains, y'avait Fernand, y'avait Firmin
Y'avait Francis et Sébastien et puis Paulette
On était tous amoureux d'elle, on se sentait pousser des ailes
À bicyclette
Sur les petits chemins de terre, on a souvent vécu l'enfer
Pour ne pas mettre pied à terre devant Paulette

Faut dire qu'elle y mettait du coeur, c'était la fille du facteur
À bicyclette
Et depuis qu'elle avait huit ans, elle avait fait en le suivant
Tous les chemins environnants à bicyclette
Quand on approchait la rivière, on déposait dans les fougères
Nos bicyclettes
Et on se roulait dans les champs, faisant naître un bouquet changeant
De sauterelles, de papillons et de rainettes

Quand le soleil à l'horizon profilait sur tous les buissons nos silhouettes
On revenait fourbus, contents, le coeur un peu vague pourtant
De n'être pas un seul instant avec Paulette
Prendre furtivement sa main, oublier un peu les copains
La bicyclette
On se disait 'C'est pour demain, j'oserai, j'oserai demain
Quand on ira sur les chemins, à bicyclette'


09. Here, There and Everywhere (The Beatles cover)


To lead a better life I need my love to be here...

Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there

There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking but she doesn't know he's there

I want her everywhere and if she's beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share

Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there

I want her everywhere and if she's beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share

Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there

I will be there and everywhere
Here, there and everywhere

10. Clair (Gilbert O'Sullivan cover)


Clair... The moment I met you, I swear.
I felt as if something, somewhere
Had happened to me, which I couldn't see.
And then, the moment I met you, again
I knew in my heart that we were friends.
It had to be so, it couldn't be no.
But try as hard as I might do, I don't know why.
You get to me in a way I can't describe.
Words mean so little when you look up and smile.
I don't care what people say, to me you're more than a child
Oh, Clair... Clair...

Clair... If ever a moment so rare
Was captured for all to compare.
That moment is you in all that you do.
But why in spite of our age difference do I cry
Each time I leave you, I feel I could die.
Nothing means more to me than hearing you say
'I'm going to marry you. Will you marry me Uncle Ray?'
Oh, Clair... Clair...

[Break]

Clair... I've told you before, don't you dare!
Get back into bed. Can't you see that it's late.
No you can't have a drink. Oh all right then, but wait just a bit.'
While I, in an effort to babysit, capture my breath, what there is left of it.
You can be murder at this hour of the day.
But in the morning this hour will seem a lifetime away.
Oh, Clair... Clair... Oh, Clair.

11. Derniers baisers (Les Chats Sauvages cover)
Quand vient la fin de l'été sur la plage
Il faut alors se quitter peut-être pour toujours
Oublier cette plage et nos baisers
Quand vient la fin de l'été sur la plage
L'amour va se terminer comme il a commencé
Doucement sur la plage par un baiser

Le soleil est plus pale mais nos deux corps sont bronzés
Crois-tu qu'après un long hiver notre amour aura changé ?
Quand vient la fin de l'été sur la plage
Il faut alors se quitter les vacances ont duré
Lorsque vient septembre et nos baisers

Quand vient la fin de l'été sur la plage
Il faut alors se quitter peut-être pour toujours
Oublier cette plage et nos baisers, et nos baisers
Et nos baisers !

12. The 59th Street Bridge Song (Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel cover)


Slow down, you move too fast
You've got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feeling groovy
Ba da da da da da da, feeling groovy

Hello lampost, what'cha knowing
I've come to watch your flowers growin'
Ain'tcha got no rhymes for me
Doo-it in doo doo, feeling groovy
Ba da da da da da da, feeling groovy

I got no deeds to do
No promises to keep
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morningtime drop all its petals on me
Life I love you, all is groovy

13. Everything Once More (The Carpenters cover)


When I was young I'd listen to the radio
Waiting for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile

Those were such happy times and not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone but they're back again
Just like a long lost friend, all the songs I loved so well

Every Sha-la-la-la, every Wo-wo-wo still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they started to sing so fine
When they get to the part, where he's breakin' her heart
It can really make me cry just like before
It's yesterday once more (sho-be-doo wa yeah)

Looking back on how it was in years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed

It was songs of love that I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word those old melodies
Still sound so good to me as they melt the years away

Every Sha-la-la-la, every Wo-wo-wo still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they started to sing so fine
All my best memories come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry just like before
It's yesterday once more (sho-be-doo wa yeah)

Every Sha-la-la-la, every Wo-wo-wo still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they started to sing so fine
Every Sha-la-la-la, every Wo-wo-wo still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they started to sing so fine.
14. Le piano de la plage (Charles Trenet cover)


Le vieux piano de la plage ne joue qu'en fa qu'en fatigué
Le vieux piano de la plage possède un la qui n'est pas gai
Un si cassé qui se désole
Un mi fané qui le console
Un do brûlé par le grand soleil du mois de juillet
Mais quand il joue pour moi les airs anciens que je préfère
Un frisson d'autrefois
M'emporte alors dans l'atmosphère
D'un grand bonheur dans une petite chambre
Mon joli cœur du mois de septembre
Je pense encore encore à toi
Do mi si la

Le vieux piano de la plage ne joue qu'en sol en solitude.
Le vieux piano de la plage a des clients dont l'habitude
Est de danser samedi dimanche.
Les autres jours seul sur les planches
Devant la mer qui se souvient il rêve sans fin...
C'est alors que je sors tout courbatu
De ma cachette
Et que soudain dehors tremblant, ému,
Devant lui je m'arrête
Et c'est inouï tout ce que je retrouve
Comme cette musique jolie m'éprouve
Me fait du mal me fait du bien
Je n'en sais trop rien

Adieu, adieu piano tu sais combien peuvent être cruelles
Ces notes que tu joues faux mais dans mon cœur ouvrant ses ailes
S'éveille alors la douce rengaine
De mon heureux sort ou de mes peines.
Lorsque tu tapes, tapes, toute la semaine mais le samedi
Quand les jeunesses débarquent
Tu sais alors brigand de la plage
Que ton souvenir les marque
Et qu'un beau soir passé le bel âge
Un autre que moi devant la piste s'arrêtera là et sera triste
En écoutant le cœur battant
L'air de ses vingt ans
15. The Shadow of your smile (Brenda Lee cover)



One day we walked along the sand, one day in early spring
You held a piper in your hand to mend its broken wing
Now I'll remember many a day and many a lonely mile
The echo of a piper's song, the shadow of a smile

The shadow of your smile when you are gone
Will color all my dreams and light the dawn
Look into my eyes, my love and see
All the lovely things you are to me

Our wistful little star was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips and so did I
Now when I remember spring, all the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering the shadow of your smile

16. The Captain of her heart (Double cover)
It was way past midnight and she still couldn't fall asleep
This night the dream was leaving, she tried so hard to keep
And with the new day's dawning she felt it drift away
Not only for a cruise, not only for a day

Too long ago, too long apart
She couldn't wait another day for
The captain of her heart
As the day came up she made a start
She stopped waiting another day for
The captain of her heart

[Break]

Too long ago, too long apart
She couldn't wait another day for
The captain of her heart

Too long ago, too long apart
She couldn't wait another day for
The captain of her heart
As the day came up, she made a stop
She stopped waiting another day for
The captain of her heart

Too long ago, too long apart
She couldn't wait another day for
The captain of her heart
17. Santiano (Hugues Aufray cover)

C'est un fameux trois-mâts fin comme un oiseau.
Hisse et ho, Santiano !
Dix huit nœuds, quatre cent tonneaux :
Je suis fier d'y être matelot.

Tiens bon la vague tiens bon le vent.
Hisse et ho, Santiano !
Si Dieu veut toujours droit devant,
Nous irons jusqu'à San Francisco.

Je pars pour de longs mois en laissant Margot.
Hisse et ho, Santiano !
D'y penser j'avais le cœur gros
En doublant les feux de Saint-Malo.

Tiens bon la vague tiens bon le vent.
Hisse et ho, Santiano !
Si Dieu veut toujours droit devant,
Nous irons jusqu'à San Francisco.

On prétend que là-bas l'argent coule à flots.
Hisse et ho, Santiano !
On trouve l'or au fond des ruisseaux.
J'en ramènerai plusieurs lingots.

Tiens bon la vague tiens bon le vent.
Hisse et ho, Santiano !
Si Dieu veut toujours droit devant,
Nous irons jusqu'à San Francisco.

Un jour, je reviendrai chargé de cadeaux.
Hisse et ho, Santiano !
Au pays, j'irai voir Margot.
A son doigt, je passerai l'anneau.

Tiens bon le cap et tiens bon le flot.
Hisse et ho, Santiano !
Sur la mer qui fait le gros dos,
Nous irons jusqu'à San Francisco.
18. Light my fire (The Doors cover)

You know that it would be untrue, you know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you, girl, we couldn't get much higher

Come on baby, light my fire, come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

The time to hesitate is through, no time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose and our love become a funeral pyre

Come on baby, light my fire, come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah

The time to hesitate is through, no time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose and our love become a funeral pyre

Come on baby, light my fire, come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah

You know that it would be untrue, you know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you, girl, we couldn't get much higher

Come on baby, light my fire, come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire, try to set the night on fire.
