Nana Mouskouri - A Day In The Life Of A Fool - lyrics

(Luiz Bonfa, Carl Sigman)
A day in the life of a fool
A sad and a long lonely day
I walk the avenue
And hope I'll run into
The welcome sight of you
Coming my way
I stop just across from your door
But you're never home any more
So back to my room
And there in the gloom
I cry tears of good bye
(That's the way it will be every day,
in the life of fool)

Nana Mouskouri - All Through The Night - lyrics

(Jules Shear)
All through the night
I'll be awake and I'll be with you
All through the night
This precious time when time is new
Oh, all through the night today
Knowing that we feel the same without saying
We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end
All through the night
stray cat is crying so stray cat sings back
All through the night
They have forgotten what by day they lack
Oh under those white street lamps
There is a little chance they may see
We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end
Oh the sleep in your eyes is enough
Let me be there let me stay there awhile
We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end

Nana Mouskouri - All My Trials - lyrics

Hush little baby, don't you cry
You know your mama was born to die
All my trials, Lord, soon be over
Too late, my brothers
Too late, but never mind
All my trials, Lord, soon be over
If religion were a thing that money could buy
The rich would live and the poor would die
All my trials, Lord, soon be over
I've got a little book that was given to me
And every page spells liberty
All my trials, Lord, soon be over
There is a tree in Paradise
And the pilgrims call it the Tree of Life
All my trials, Lord, soon be over

Nana Mouskouri - Alfonsina Y El Mar - lyrics

Por la blanda arena que lame el mar
su pequea huella no vuelve mas
un sendero solo de pena y silencio
lleg hasta el agua profunda
un sendero solo de penas mudas
lleg hasta la espuma.
Sabe dios qu angustia te acompa,
qu dolores viejos call tu voz,
para recostarte arrullada en el canto
de las caracolas marinas
la cancin que canta en el fondo oscuro del mar
la caracola.
Te vas Alfonsina con tu soledad
qu poemas nuevos fuiste a buscar?
una voz antigua de viento y de sal
te requiebra el alma y la esta llamando
y te vas hacia alla como en sueos
dormida Alfonsina, vestida de mar.
Cinco sirenitas te llevaran
por caminos de algas y de coral
y fosforescentes caballos marinos haran
una ronda a tu lado
y los habitantes del agua van a jugar
pronto a tu lado.
Bajame la lampara un poco mas
djame que duerma, nodriza en paz,
y se llama l no le digas que estoy
dile que Alfonsina no vuelve.
Y se llama l no le digas nunca que estoy
di que me he ido.
Te vas Alfonsina con tu soledad,
Qu poemas fuiste a buscar?
una voz antigua de viento y de sal
te requiebra el alma y la esta llamando
y te vas hacia alla, como en sueos
dormida Alfonsina, vestida de mar.

Nana Mouskouri - Amazing Grace - lyrics

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me...
I once was lost but now I am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
T'was grace that taught...
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear...
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares...
we have already come.
T'was grace that brought us safe thus far...
and grace will lead us home.

Nana Mouskouri - An English Country Garden - lyrics

(Sharpe/Jordan)
How many gentle flowers grow
In an English country garden?
I'll tell you now of some I know
And those I'll miss I hope you'll pardon
Daffodils, heart's ease and flox
Meadowsweet and lilly stalks
Gentain, lupine and tall hollihocks
Roses, foxgloves, snowdrops, forget-me-nots
In an English country garden.
How many insects find their home
In an English country garden?
I'll tell you now of some I know
Those I miss I hope you'll pardon
Dragonflies, moths and bees
Spiders falling from the trees
Butterflies sway in the mild gentle breeze
There are hedgehogs that roam
And little gnomes
In an English country garden.
How many songbirds make their nests
In an English country garden?
I'll tell you now of some I know
Those I miss I hope you'll pardon
Bobolink, coo cooing doves
Robins and the whirlwind thrush
Bluebird, lark, pigeon, nightingale
We all smile in the spring
When the birds all start to sing
In an English country garden.

Nana Mouskouri - All Over The World - lyrics

As I've looked around
At the life I'm living,
More and more, I found
Life is for the giving
Children know the way
Loving and forgiving
CHORUS:
All over the world,
The children are singing
All over the world,
You see them at play
Why must we destroy
The joy they are bringing?
All over the world,
Let love show the way
Then, we were very young
Love's a gift for sharing
But as we grow up,
We forget the caring
Why must we go on
Distrusting and despairing?
CHORUS
Innocent and free,
Hear the children's laughter
Why can't people be
Happy ever after?
Let this song of hope
Ring from every rafter
CHORUS
There in Neverland,
See the children playing,
Walking hand in hand
Innocently playing
Can't we understand
A single word they're saying?
CHORUS (2x)

Nana Mouskouri - A Foggy Day - lyrics

Gershwin Ira
(Damsel In Distress, A)
[VERSE:]
I was a stranger in the city.
Out of town were the people I knew.
I had that feeling of self-pity:
What to do? What to do? What to do?
The outlook was decidedly blue.
But as I walked through the foggy streets alone,
It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known
[REFRAIN:]
A foggy day in London Town
Had me low and had me down.
I viewed the morning with alarm.
The British Museum had lost its charm.
How long, I wondered, could this thing last?
But the age of miracles, hadn't passed,
For, suddenly, I saw you there --
And through foggy London Town
The sun was shining ev'rywhere.

Nana Mouskouri - A Place In My Heart - lyrics

(J.P.Ferland / Shaper)
1-
I got your letter yesterday
From some small town I never knew
It told me you were on your way
But not where you were going to
2-
You said you're following the sun
But do you really know for sure
For after all is said and done
Just what it is you' re looking for
3-
There' s a place in my heart
I wish that your eyes could see
And there' s no one on earth
Who loves you as much as me
4-
If you just travel on and on
Till I don't know where
There's a place in my heart
You may never find again
5-
And so you travel with the wind
You' ll find some road to fly along
And though your letter says the word
Your heart may soon forget the song
6-
Then you may someday write the poem
That tells your life in words of fire
But you will never have a home
Or find the love that you desire
( Repeat 3-4-)
7-
And so heading for the sea
Now that the flowers are in bloom
Just when the wild mimosa tree
Is like the colour of our room
( Repeat 4 )

Nana Mouskouri - Adieu Angelina - lyrics

Adieu Anglina les cloches de la couronne
Ont t voles l'aube je les entends qui sonnent
Et je me dpche je dois les rattraper
Adieu Anglina le ciel est en feu
Et je m'en vais
Ce n'est pas la peine d'en faire une affaire
Ce n'est pas la peine d'ameuter toute la terre
C'est une table vide sur le bord de la mer
Adieu Anglina le ciel a trembl
Je dois m'en aller
Les rois et les reines quittent la basse cour
Deux cents bohmiennes sont entres la cour
Dans la salle du tout va rien ne va plus pour moi
Adieu Anglina le ciel s'croule
Je te verrai plus tard
Regarde ces pirates dans la Voie Lacte
Qui tirent sur des botes avec un canon sci
Les voisins applaudissent poussent des cris de joie
Adieu Anglina le ciel se dcolore
Je dois me sauver
King Kong et les elfes vont danser sur les toits
De longs tangos typiques tandis que de leurs doigts
Des maquilleurs s'escriment fermer les yeux de la mort
Adieu Anglina le ciel est trop sombre
Je dois m'chapper
Les mitrailleuses crpitent les poupes mobilisent
Des bombes au plastique clatent dans les glises
Appelle-moi comme tu veux je ne discute pas
Mais adieu Anglina le ciel se dchane
Je vais chercher la paix
