Noir c'est noir - Johnny Hallyday (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Noir c'est noir
Il n'y a plus d'espoir
Oui gris c'est gris
Et c'est fini, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ça me rend fou j'ai cru à ton amour
Et je perds tout

Je suis dans le noir
J'ai du mal à y croire
Au gris de l'ennui
Et je te crie, oh, oh, oh, oh
Je ferai tout pour sauver notre amour
Tout jusqu'au bout

Si un mot peut tout changer je le trouverai
Il ne faut plus en douter, il faut essayer

Noir c'est noir
Il n'est jamais trop tard
Pour moi du gris
J'n'en veux plus dans ma vie, oh, oh
Ça me rend fou de perdre ton amour
Je te l'avoue

Maintenant pour le sauver à tout je suis prét
A l'instant de la vérité pourquoi en douter

Noir c'est noir
Il me reste l'espoir
Oui gris c'est gris je n'veux plus d'ennuis, oh, oh
Ça vaut le coup de sauver notre amour
Rien que pour nous
De sauver notre amour
Rien que pour nous.

Noir c'est noir
Il me reste l'espoir

Noir c'est noir
Il me reste l'espoir

Noir c'est noir
Il me reste l'espoir

Black is black - Los Bravos (1967) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Black is black
I want my baby back
It's gray, it's gray
Since she went away, Ooh-Ooh
What can I do
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm feelin' blue

If I had my way
She'd be back today
But she don't intend
To see me again, Ooh-Ooh
What can I do
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm feelin' blue

I can't choose
It's too much to lose
My love's too strong
Wow! Maybe if she
would come back to me
Then it can't go wrong

Bad is bad
That I feel so sad
It's time, it's time
That I found peace of mind, Ooh-Ooh
What can I do
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm feelin' blue

I can't choose
It's too much to lose
My love's too strong
Wow! Maybe if she
Would come back to me
Then I can't go wrong

Black is black
I want my baby back
It's gray, it's gray
Since she went away, Ooh-Ooh
What can I do
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm feelin' blue
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm feelin' blue

Ring, ring... I've got to sing - Ferre Grignard (1966) (with lyrics)

Very popular song in the sixties, written by the Belgium folksinger Ferre Grignard. 


(Lyrics)

Oh, Don't cry, my baby
Don't cry all a while
Don't cry, my baby
Just give me a smile
See my daddy die in the war
See my mamma die cryin' for

A ring-a a-ring-a
But I've got to sing
A-ring-a a-ring-a
But I've got to sing

They call me a hound dog
They call me a swine
It's all because of my color
For their war though I'm fine

A ring-a a-ring-a
But I've got to sing
A-ring-a a-ring-a
But I've got to sing

Dee dum dah dee yay-ay
Dee dum dah dah dee day
Dee dum dah dah dee day-ay
Dee dum dah dah dee yay

They're talkin' 'bout freedom
Of religion and race
But if you're a negro
They slap you in the face

A ring-a a-ring-a
But I've got to sing
A-ring-a a-ring-a
But I've got to sing

Dee dum dah dee yay-ay
Dee dum dah dah dee day
Dee dum dah dah dee day-ay
Dee dum dah dah dee yay

Day after day - Badfinger (1971) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out from my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you

I remember holding you while you sleep
Every day, I feel the tears that you weep
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you

Looking out of my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you

I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you.
