Si clair
Lyrics: Olga Jovanik and Mary Juane Clair, Music: Mary Juane Clair

Si clair et douce une eau tombait
J’étais seule, et je pensais:
Les mots certains tu murmurais
Dans la pluie, les jours quand tu m’aimais

Dis moi, o, je te pris, dis moi,
Que nous ferons après avec toi
Si nous ne pouvons  pas, ne pouvons pas
Se rester ensemble à jamais, à jamais.

Chante moi et joue moi
Chante moi et joue moi
La belle musique des rencontres
Mélodie de notre amour
Mélodie heurese des jours
Quand nous étions ensemble.

Et il pleuvait, et il pleuvait
Les levres aimés me chuchotaieut,
Tout est fini, tout est fini
Et la musique sera pour moi comme souvenir.

J’étais triste, seule et je pensais
Des  heureuses jours quand tu m’aimais
Les levres aimés me chuchotaient
La pluie froide souvent tombait.

Black Orpheus
Lyrics: Version in English by Tori Amos
Music: Luiz Bonfa

I'll sing to the sun in the sky
i'll sing to the sun rises high

carnival time is here
magical time of year
and as the time draws near
dreams fill my heart

i'll sing while he plays his guitar
i'll sing as the night wakes the dawn
will love come my way
on this magical day
and will love stay in my heart

carnival time is here
magical time, i’m near
and as the time draws near
dreams fill my heart

i'll sing while he plays his guitar
i'll sing in my dream from afar
will love come my way
on this magical day
and will love stay in my heart

will true love come my way
on this magical day
or will i live alone
in my dreams...
stay in my heart...
dreams fill my heart...

Quiet Nights Of Quiet Stars
Lyrics: Version in English by Gene Lees
Music: Antonio Carlos Jobim

Quiet nights of quiet stars
Quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
Quiet walks by quiet streams
And a window looking on the mountains and the sea
How lovely
This is where I want to be
Here with you close to me
Until the final flicker of life's embers
I who was lost and lonely
Believing life was only
A bitter tragic joke
Have found with you, the meaning of existence
Oh my love

Black Coffee
Lyrics: Paul Frencis Webster
Music: Sonny Burke

I'm feelin' mighty lonesome,
haven't slept a wink,
I walk the floor and watch the door
and in between I drink black coffee,
Love's a hand me down broom.
I'll never know a Sunday
in this weekday room.
I'm talkin' to the shadows,
One o'clock to four,
And Lord, how slow the moments go
when all I do is pour black coffee,
Since the blues caught my eye.
I'm hangin' out on Monday
My Sunday dreams to dry.
Now a man is born to go a lovin',
A woman's born to weep and fret.
To stay at home and tend her oven,
and drown her past regrets
in coffee and cigarettes.
I'm moanin' all the mornin'
and mournin' all the night,
And in between it's nicotine
and not much heart to fight, black coffee,
Feelin' low as a ground.
It's drivin' me crazy,
this waitin' for my baby
to may be come around.
