Amelka
Crazy Amelka, the girl next door,
Loved good drinks and expensive gifts galore,
She had a nose ring, colorful tattoos,
Someone stole her, I still dream of her, too.
I no longer know where you are now,
I search for you, all day long.
I wish to be with you, I wish to share with you,
Joy, sorrow, and regret,
To love you always, everywhere, wherever I may go,
In my thoughts forever, only you.
Where are you, my dear, where does your star shine?
Have you found happiness in someone else’s arms?
Amelka's gone, the girl next door,
All that's left is her song,
I no longer know where you are now,
I search for you, all day long.

Black sea
Black sea's soul, black sea's soul
In your cold waters, in your cold waters, in your cold waters
I entered in Taman, I enter in Taman
With Taskin across, and Karadeniz
I'll become a tragedy, I'll become a tragedy
In your waters and I'll be drinking
Black sea
To light off my thirst, to light off my thirst
Oh my homeland, oh my root
Oh Karadeniz
And on top of your waters I'm charging
Across Osman
At Sourmena
We'll be filling up with tears, we'll be filling up with tears
All the edges of the sea
Black sea

The moon
Me and Elegon are the couple of the night
Just like the star is with the moon on the sky
Refrain
The moon is laying on its side while I placed it laying front
The moon is laying on its side while I turned it laying front
Kid mine from your lips give me a bite
Dear mine, from your lips give me a bite
Triangles mine, when alongside you we meet the night
I'm stealing light from your eyes and I fill up the moon
I carried the sun behind your back
Now I hope night comes fast so that I lay on your arms

To be a flying thing
To be a flying thing
On the fields bird mine
Flying from branch to branch
And searching for my love
My sweet painting
You're going around the mountains
What you drunk is enough
Of the cold waters
To be a flying thing
On the fields bird mine
The mountains are lamenting
And my soul is happy
The mountains are lamenting
The rivers' edges are crying
I hear how they're lamenting
And my tears are running
The mountains are lamenting
The fields my bird are crying
The whole world left
Became a desert

You Are My Eternity
We both ran, we've known battles
And until we arrived, we held our hopes up
And how we built walls from around you,
And perhaps you're my pain and my comfort
Many tears on a piece of land and around you is all war
Until when?
And now you are crying and hurting
You will see, we shall yet dance in the streets
How nice it'd be for you to be happy
Like a star illuminating the nights
You will see, you will fly again, for after the flood, we will return to love
From pain one can only grow. You will see, it will be good for us.
Be who you are, just don't change
For without you I am not me
You are my eternity
Everything is temporary in this world
You are my flag, you are the pride. Raise your head and do not be sad
I will give my life for you
Beloved of my life
And now you are crying.....
You will see.....

The crow
Hey girl your hair
To become your voice
If you didn't come to the field
I'd burn it all
Hey crow, crow
Where did you go the other day
Don't stand and walk on
Towards each other forwards
I grabbed my rifle
I shot the crow
Do you know what happened to us
Bird mine in Karidon
Hey crow, crow
Where did you go the other day
Don't stand and walk on
Towards each other forwards
Why do you look at the mountains
Bird mine, what are you waiting for
Don't stare here and there
You'll take me, once again
Hey crow, crow
Where did you go the other day
Don't stand and walk on
Towards each other forwards

Caucasus
Come, let me kiss you
Look how I'm asking you
You ate up my soul
If I knew too, daughter
Where you'll be going
Come, let's sit in the train
And go to Caucasus
Come my secret baby
So I can take you side by side
So I can take you side by side
You ate up my soul
Come, let me kiss you
Look how I'm asking you
Look how I'm asking you
You ate up my soul
Green tall mountains
Are in Caucasus
The Black sea kids
Is waiting for us
Come, let me kiss you
Look how I'm asking you
Look how I'm asking you
You ate up my soul
There we were tormented
Me, the fine guy
Am going to fight now
Across Krasnodar
Come my secret baby
So I can take you side by side
So I can take you side by side
You ate up my soul
Come my secret baby
So I can take you side by side
So I can take you side by side
You ate up my soul
Come, let me kiss you
Look how I'm asking you
Look how I'm asking you
You ate up my soul

Cool Love Song
Singing is my selling-point
but I’m secretly making an effort at it.
There are still those who are better than me
but I’ll sure soon show you that I’ve beaten them.
And so …
Keep watching me …
If you cheat on me … I won’t like it …
Don’t look away.
I’m gonna L-L-L-Len Len you!
… I will.
I’ll charm you with my voice …
Is that OK?
You’ll be listening to me e-e-e-every day, right?
I reckon I can do better …
Is that right?
Sure is!
I’m not very friendly,
but it’s not like I particularly dislike you.
It’s still a way before we’re in love,
but I just can’t get myself to feel like it.
And so …
make me serious about you.
Coz just the two of us … right now …
I’m fine with that.
Is it a r-r-r-romantic feeling?
I myself don’t really know …
about stuff like that.
R-r-r-“romance is just trick of the mind!”
someone said.
Isn’t that right?
Course it is!
Actually my heart’s really pounding.
Everything you say and do makes me nervous.
I can’t help what I say and do seem suspicious.
I guess I can’t help not having enough confidence.
A good-for-nothing like me,
is this also a way of being liked in some sense.
Being a top-notch black belt at being lousy,
my hopes are pretty faint.
If all goes as planned, I’ll be so cool.
Does it feel like I've got the essentials right?
If it’s just a matter of feeling like it, I’m a long way off.
Anyhow I’m still a 2nd year middle schooler.
Running away is my specialty.
Do I care about boasts like that?
I’m good at relying on others to get where I want.
I have faith in what you all can do.
However …
keep liking me.
If everyone’s with me … no question about it …
I reckon I can conquer the world.
May I k-k-k-keep on pitching?
I want to make everyone listen …
to my songs.
Will I be on c-c-c-continuous replay?
Maybe I should express my appreciation …
Thank you …
Am I (or What’s) the object of your love?
You love me …
Isn’t that right?
I’m in l-l-l-love, yeah?
With myself ………… For being cheeky,
sorry!

The enchantment of the forest
This story wants to illustrate a bit
The family of the bear Pikisò
These little bears play freely
They always go where mom goes
They run among the grass and flowers
Playing hide and seek
All but one, look a bit
And this is Pikisò (Pikisò)
Always sad, always isolated
He doesn’t want to do what he doesn’t like
Here’s the family of the little bears
They hurry off towards the woods
And, defying the wrath of the insects
They are already ready for the big hunt
It’s noon, they have to eat
Everyone is hungry, they can’t wait
This is a truly fundamental problem
For the mother of our Pikisò
Some fruit is easy to find
But a big trunk must, alas, be climbed
What a struggle to get up there
And a little bear can’t do it anymore
As always, our Pikisò
Stays alone and thinks it over a bit
Always sad, always isolated
He doesn’t want to do what he doesn’t like
So, while mom is thinking of everyone, including Pikisò
He doesn’t abandon his wonderful idea: that of escaping
He has set his mind on finding a wise owl
Who will teach him the secret to become a great bear
The great one of the forest
Oh yes, because as long as one is small, they must obey
And wash their face every morning
'But how long will I have to endure this story of staying small?
Oh no, it really has to end!'
Finally, for the bear Pikisò
There’s someone who can grant his wish
It’s the great sage he’s searching for
But who knows where that sage will be?
So into the woods he will go
And he will search everywhere
At any cost, he will uncover
Who will help him? (Who knows?)
He will try everything
To avoid doing what he doesn’t like
And happiness
One day he will find

I Want To Hear It
Filled with colorless dreams are the tears I shed
Frustration of all the past loves remains in my heart
Don't go away leaving me with all those bitter memories
Give me myself now, don't drag me behind
I want to hear it, I want to hear it
I want to hear your soul in my heart
I want to see it, I want to see it
I want to see your eyes in mine
Don't hurt my heart by walking out on me
I gave you myself, don't destroy me
Don't remain silent I beg, say something
Don't disappear in darkness like that
If I could hear your heart, If I could read you
Your silent cries, your bitter laments
I want to feel all your screams
I want to get close and die alongside you
2024.10.10.
On the fields' shadows
On the fields' shadows
I hugged my sheep
The pine trees' branches are bending
And they try to hear slowly
Up there on the tall mountains
How will I be going through my Summers
My eyes were covered by fog
I don't even recognise my sheep

Chatting all night long
Chatting all night long, every night the companies
The lira is playing and they're eating onion and olives
All night chatting and and the sorrows are in the line
All nighters and loves, so that the old people are healed
In a corner, a guy is looking a girl in the eyes
He dreams of the houses and the palaces that he'll build
All night chatting and and the sorrows are in the line
All nighters and loves, so that the old people are healed
In the all nighers they're all one, the enemies and friends
Are drinking raki and being good with each other, and dancing side by side
All night chatting and and the sorrows are in the line
All nighters and loves, so that the old people are healed

When a girl
In New Orleans
(In New Orleans)
There’s a wave of madness
(In New, in New Orleans)
It's like a spell
(Musical spell)
That has captivated all the Black folks in New Orleans
(Oh yes!)
In New Orleans
(In New Orleans)
The police are going around
(In New, in New Orleans)
Trying to drive away
(What a great madness!)
The good musicians of New Orleans
Oh yes!
But the whole city
Is already enchanted
By jazz (jazz)
By jazz (jazz)
This famous jazz!
When a girl, in New Orleans
Feels her heart begin to race
You must make her dance
To this crazy rhythm called jazz
Like a spell
It fascinates you with its heat
It makes you drunk like a sip of liquor
Tinting your heart pink
When a girl says, 'No'
Take your saxophone
Sing into a megaphone
Don’t forget:
You need jazz!
She will move convulsively
Rhythmically with her hands
And when, finally, you want to kiss her
You'll see she'll say:
'Oh yes'
And on the Mississippi
The melody of my city sails
Lovers, amidst their sighs
After a kiss, they sing:
'Tari-ari-ari-ari-a'
A little Black boy
Plays the trumpet and sings in New Orleans
It seems his name is Louis Armstrong
But nobody knows
That one day he will become the father of jazz
When a girl, in New Orleans
Feels her heart begin to race
You must make her dance
To this crazy rhythm called jazz
Like a spell
It fascinates you with its heat
It makes you drunk like a sip of liquor
Tinting your heart pink
When a girl says, 'No'
Take your saxophone
Sing into a megaphone
Don’t forget:
You need jazz!
She will move convulsively
Rhythmically with her hands
And when, finally, you want to kiss her
You'll see she'll say: 'Oh yes!
Oh yes! Oh yes! Oh yes! Oh yes!'
Oh yes!
This is all jazz!

Moon Time
Looking up at the shadow of a tower that stretches out
People gather once again under the moonlit night
Moon Time, Moon Time, Moon Time
Opening the forgotten sky, Moon Time descends
The lost light of the capital of the sun
Is now lit above the people
The sharply piercing wind blows
People cry again in the distance
Moon Time, Moon Time, Moon Time
Hurry and tell about Moon Time to the distant hearts
Unknown to them, 'Today' is being born
Like a flower in the plaza now
Distant, Moon Time
Wandering, Moon Time
Quietly, Moon Time
Wandering, Moon Time
Moon Time, Moon Time, Moon Time
Shattering the closed sky, Moon Time wanders
Around the base of the tower we look up at
To celebrate the beginning of a new day
Distant, Moon Time
Wandering, Moon Time
Quietly, Moon Time
Wandering, Moon Time
Distant, Moon Time
Wandering, Moon Time
Quietly, Moon Time
Wandering, Moon Time

Himera I longed you
Oh, Himera I longed you
Woe to me
Oh to see your houses
Woe and oh to me
Oh to see your houses
Woe and oh to me
Oh to see your stone castle
Woe to me
And all of your mountainous fields
Woe and oh to me
All of your mountainous fields
Woe and oh to me
Eh, from where it's coming
My bird, my bird
Eh, the boy wearing his head cover
Woe and oh to me
Eh, the boy wearing his head cover
Woe and oh to me
Hey, covered in the clothes
Woe to me
Eh, Kromnetis until the neck
Woe and oh to me
Eh, Kromnetis until the neck
Go away my kid and come with me
2024.10.10.
Foe, cross with me
Foe, cross with me
I'm giving you my handkerchief
The handkerchief and I want
For you to ask something else of me
My spring, my summer
To be kissing you my love
Autumn is your hand
Winter is your embrace
Your love in the world
Jesus' teachings
Were full of nice smells
The trees of the mountains
Foe, cross with me
I'm giving you my bracelet
The bracelet and I want
For you to ask something else of me
2024.10.10.
Go
I'm falling, falling, covered in my bruises
I don't defend myself, I'm falling and without you I die again
I'm falling, falling in creased book covers
Stands hope, written in your tear
And now what is my punishment
For all of your pain
Is it a mask or a farce
That you're even saying that
You love me every day
I'm fighting, tired
There's no going back, I know, for us
Don't look at me, go
Our time is up, go
A burden on my back
But now I carry it without you
Between us the tides are too strong, go
I'll keep your name, it's better if you go*
And when you're doing better
Then you won't think of me
Oh am I, the only one who misses us
In my body now the whole world stopped
Withered like a gentle flower, and hurting
It's just as if they knew
That I'll remain alone at sunrise
My strength is betraying me
My strength is betraying me
Don't look at me, go
Our time is up, go
A burden on my back
But now I carry it without you
Between us the tides are too strong, go
I'll keep your name (You'll keep my name)
And when you're doing better
Then you won't think of me
Don't look at me, go
Our time is up, go
A burden on my back
But now I carry it without you
Between us the tides are too strong, go
I'll keep your name, it's better if you go
And when you're doing better
Then you won't think of me
Come on, come on, come on
All of our fairy tales have been written off
A burden on my back
But now I carry it without you
Come on, come on, come on
We're aware that this is all in vain
And that seed that's been sown
Doesn't even have a chance to wither
My strength is betraying me
Don't look at me, go
Our time is up, go
Don't look at me
Our time is up

Susanna, all cream
They call you Susanna, all cream
And when you walk by, who knows why
My blood boils, and my vision blurs
Mama, mama, I can't control myself anymore
Su-Su-Sa
Su-Su-Susà
Su-Su-Susà
Su-Su-Susà
Su-Su-Susa
My dear Susanna, your power is all here
Here, here
You're all milk and honey, all cream
You carry your dowry on yourself
And the man who marries you won't be fooled
Mama, mama, I want her just for me
I don't eat baba anymore, I don't want cream puffs
No bonbons, no milkshakes
All day long, sitting at the café
I only eat cream and think of you
Su-Su
They call you Susanna, all cream
And everyone would love to have a taste
But I'll give you my heart and a little cottage
Mama, don't say no to me
If I get married
It will only be with Susanna
Su-Su-Sa
I only eat cr
I only eat cr
I only eat cream and think of you
Susà
You're all milk and honey, all cream
You carry your dowry with you
And the man who marries you won't be fooled
Mama, don't say no to me
If I get married
It will be with my Susanna
I know it
Susanna, Su-Su-Su-Susà
Susà

Death Stranding
Click to see the original lyrics (English)
Koccintsunk az elátkozottakra!
Várva holnapot, mikor
Búcsúzenét játszunk a bandával,
Elfojtva bánatunkat.
Mi lesz velünk most, az Idő végén?
Jól leszünk, te és én.
Homokba húzzunk vonalat,
Legyen egyenes s keskeny.
A kezünkben volt minden,
Esdtünk, kölcsönkértünk.
Mi lesz mindünk sorsa a szeretet végén?
Mikor hagytuk abba, hogy felnézzünk?
Elveheted szívem,
Összetarthatod, ha szétesünk.
Tán együtt szikrát tudunk gyújtani a csillagokba, hogy felszálljunk,
S együtt tart minket, ha a fények kihunynak.
Mondjunk igazat, csak egyszer,
Választ keresve.
Most, hogy minden megtörtént,
Semmi sem számít igazán.
Mi lesz mindannyiunkkal, ha merünk álmodni
A színtér végén?
Nyissunk az ég felé,
Esdve, hogy záruljon,
Legalább elmondhatjuk, hogy próbáltuk,
De igazából sosincs vége.
Mi lesz mindannyiunk sorsa a határ végén?
Élünk majd? Meghalunk?

Memories
I'm pretty sure that day too,
it was a blue sky just like today's
The moment I heard your sudden farewell,
without any words with which to reply,
I shed tears and started to run off
Come chase me, don't leave me alone
Thinking you might call me to stop,
I tried to turn around,
but there I saw you from behind
They still appear in my eyes,
our moments like a single picture
You would wear the sweater I knitted for you
and use your index finger to play the piano
that you were never even capable of playing
While pouring cups of tea,
I often thought
'Someday we'll have these kind of days again and again'
while fully soaking in the sunshine
of the warm afternoon
It's as if it just happened yesterday
I feel like you'll come to me any moment now
When I'm lonely, I can't help but remember
that nameless song
that you'd always sing for me
Tomorrow morning, I'm gonna leave this apartment
Memories of you
are so painful for me,
but I'm gonna become a girl who can smile
and explain that these things happened
2024.10.09.
Unchangeable mornings
From the light of this languid morning that deeply soaks through me,
I'm awoken from a shallow dream and I raise my blank eyes
I noticed cold tears suddenly running down my cheeks,
and even though it's just me in this room, I hid my face in my pillow
In unchangeable mornings
I'm getting fed up of this weak me
With unchangeable tears
Today's another day unchanging as usual
Just in case I can perhaps return to the me from those days one more time,
my heart is open
But now, even if I call for you with all my strength, it'll never reach you
That's you who I can't meet - I'll forget you....
In front of my mirror, I try to change my mood,
but there I see me talking to you
In unchangeable mornings
I wander in a dream, in the tenderness
With unchangeable tears
Today's another day just the same as those days
I could still pledge my love to you with unchanging feelings now
But I'd only hurt you
Even so, just as I trust that our mornings will return,
I'll one day forget us who can't meet...
I could still pledge my love to you with unchanging feelings now
But I'd only hurt you
Even so, just as I trust that our mornings will return,
I'll one day forget us who can't meet...

Jasbo Brown
What an inventor this
Jasbo Brown
In just a few hours, do you know what he does?
He gives the world
The most beautiful music
Yes, the very one
That’s long been called jazz
Because it was Jasbo Brown
Who christened jazz
It happened one afternoon in that country
The U.S.A.
With stars and stripes aplenty
For this simple reason
Dixieland was born
'Come on and hear
Come on and hear
Alexander's Ragtime Band'
Jasbo Brown
What an inventor this
Jasbo Brown
I bet Da Vinci, Volta, and Gutenberg
Whisper among themselves:
'I like jazz, I’m sincere
Oh yes! I would have gladly discovered it myself'

Good Day, Love
Ask me to invent words
To comfort you,
Ask me to take for you
Festive rays from your sun,
Ask me to give you the color
Of the voice with which I tell you...
Good day, love!
I was waiting for you and you came
I was arguing with the nights
And I woke up sleepless.
Good day, love!
With which words shall I help you to speak to me,
So that I may understand from the beginning?
Good day, love!
I've greeted you before,
You didn't even notice me
When you crossed my street.
Good day, love!
Welcome and thank you
That you exist, that you came, that I love!
Ask me to make your silence
As sweet as a caress,
Ask me to make your gaze
Warm like a memory,
Ask me to give you
The rest of the seas from my eyes.
Good day, love!
I was waiting for you and you came
I was arguing with the nights
And I woke up sleepless.
Good day, love!
With which words shall I help you to speak to me,
So that I may understand from the beginning?
Good day, love!
I've greeted you before,
You didn't even notice me
When you crossed my street.
Good day, love!
Welcome and thank you
That you exist, that you came, that I love!
Good day, love!
I was waiting for you and you came
I was arguing with the nights
And I woke up sleepless.
Good day, love!
With which words shall I help you to speak to me,
So that I may understand from the beginning?
Good day, love!
I've greeted you before,
You didn't even notice me
When you crossed my street.
Good day, love!
Welcome and thank you
That you exist, that you came, that I love!

The angel of the Mississippi
One day, down by the Mississippi
A dreaming Black man came down
He was the angel of the Mississippi
With his golden trumpet
'That Old Man River,' at that dawn
The people then sang
And so jazz was born on the Mississippi
Which every Black person adored
Every Black person, among the cotton plants
Erased every pain
And in the evening, praying together at the mission
They thanked the angel of jazz
And along the river, peace returned
Every voice sang: 'Hallelujah'
And New Orleans, kissed by the old Mississippi
Became the city of jazz
And along the river, peace returned
Every voice sang: 'Hallelujah'
One day, down by the Mississippi
A dreaming Black man came down
He was the angel of the Mississippi
With his golden trumpet
Heaven, Heaven

The scuba diving you wanted to do
Chasing your shadow towards an azure blue island,
I take a lonely journey through the memories
Back then, I was never able
to indulge you even once
You said 'Just once, I wanna swim with the fishes'
Now I wanna know how you felt
So, towards the gap in between the waves that sparkles in cobalt blue,
I leap in, enticed
Looks like I'm in the sea you wanted to see
In the same sea that you dived into, I'm surrendering myself right now
How beautiful
I should've come here sooner, with you
Passing through the curtain of fishes that sway in rainbow colours,
it starts to come into sight
I'm being sucked into an eternal universe,
dyed deeply in a single shade of blue all around
In this place, I can be kind to everything and anything
If it could come true, I'd wish to be only your buddy and make sure to keep my eyes on you
Wandering in the centre of countless streaks of light,
even my sorrow is fading away with the bubbles
Right now, I need nothing else
How beautiful - I should've come here sooner, with you
I sink down, then rise to the surface

A tourist in Harlem
New York, New York, my good people
I want to take you on a tour
From Brooklyn to Lower Bay
Then Broadway
The Radio City is down there
6th Avenue
But when night falls
From one to three
I'll take you to Harlem with me
Because
If a tourist strolls through Harlem
Paradise of oddities and jazz
He can hear playing
The rarest of orchestras
Down there, everyone knows how to sing
How many dance halls await him in Harlem
Eddy Wilson astonishes at the Savoy
And Duke Ellington, on the other hand
He, in person
Is there playing at the Cotton Club
And his hands glide
On that piano
'It Don't Mean a Thing'
'Bye Bye Blues'
If a tourist strolls through Harlem
He'll see red lights everywhere
He'll understand many things about the world of Black people
Who cry and seem joyful
'Ring Them Bells'
You can hear that in Harlem
If a tourist strolls through Harlem
Paradise of oddities and jazz
He'll understand many things about the world of Black people
Who cry and seem joyful
New York, New York, my good people
Down there it's waiting for us
Lower Bay is already dozing off
Broadway is silent
Radio City sings no more

Night in the Azure Ravine
The night descends upon the azure ravine,
My earrings shine therein.
I shall wander alone, down in the ravine,
Will you lift up your face to me?
Upon the valley the moonlight rests,
From the thicket shadow emerges,
A bird in the fields shrills somewhere,
Where are you? None knows.
How fair are you, my lad,
Pure and tall as a cypress.
'Six years,' you said, 'Wait for me,'
I shall await for three more.
Upon the valley the moonlight rests...
Tall and kind my boy is,
But he puts off his approach to me
He moves about there on the mountain,
His soul a flaming flower.
'Woe, woe is me,' sings the wind,
From the thicket shadow emerges.
Somewhere on the mountain, a gazelle runs like the wind,
Where are you? None knows.
How fair are you, my lad,
Will you wander for evermore?
Tall, with black curls,
I shall await for a while more...
Woe, woe is me, my boy,
Fire consumes my heart.
No longer is my hair black as night,
My curls - white as snow.

The jazz festival
Come to the jazz festival
Old Louis will play for you
He came especially from Saint Louis
It's the blues festival
Of boogie and swing
Old Bing will sing for you too
And the great Benny Goodman
Will perform solos with the clarinet
Come to the jazz festival
Come to applaud
Art Tatum will make you swoon
His hands will go up and down
On the white and blue keys
(Eh??!)
Signed Salvador Dalí
(Ah!)
Come and you will understand
That real jazz is made this way
'Come on, come on'
They shout at the jazz festival
'Come on, come on'
Gillespie will join Stan Getz
But we advise intervening
Only to those who know how to understand jazz
This magical jazz
Come to the jazz festival
Old Louis will play for you
He came especially from Saint Louis
'Come on, come on'
They shout at the jazz festival
'Come on, come on'
Gillespie will shout to Stan Getz
But we advise intervening
Only to those who know how to understand jazz
This magical jazz
Come on, come on
Come to the jazz festival

Melancholy City
I'll make everything a sweet memory,
even the fragments of our interrupted conversations
In this city of cold asphalt,
I won't pass you sorrow or tears
Melancholy city, love is an illusion
It'll fade away, the lovely feeling
We in our hearts decided in that moment
that this would be our final meeting
I'll never forget your face from the side
floating in the lights of passing cars
But signs of a farewell more certain than arranged words
had been swaying
Melancholy city, it's like I'm waking up
from a long dream - goodbye my love
Someone else's waiting for you, I'm sure
You're in love with being in love
Melancholy city, love is an illusion
It'll fade away, the lovely feeling
We in our hearts decided in that moment
that this would be our final meeting

The fabulous Gershwin
A sweet note rises, oh so soft
Emerging from a blues record
It's a flower with silk petals
That flies and vanishes up high...
And it rises...
And it rises...
Higher and higher in the sky
Up there, up there, George Gershwin still smiles
The fabulous Gershwin
Of a time that once was
George Gershwin lives on around the world
In the old swing of my youth
And the past awakens when we listen
To the sweet and bitter notes
Of a time that once was
When on stage they sighed 'I Got Rhythm'
'The Man I Love' and 'Embraceable You'
When the crisis scared the New York Times
'Summertime' was born, and then 'Lady, Be Good'
And in those times of the first transatlantic flights
The syncopated notes astounded Hollywood
Up there, up there, George Gershwin still smiles
The fabulous Gershwin
Of a time that once was
He left, carrying in his heart
All the warmth of my youth
And a thousand notes fly into the sky
Scarlet, sky-blue, blue
They're flowers that float so lightly
Thousands of them vanish up high...
And they go...
And they go...
Higher and higher in the sky
Up there, up there, George Gershwin still smiles
The fabulous Gershwin
Of a time that once was
He left, carrying in his heart
All the warmth of my youth
When the crisis scared the New York Times
'Summertime' was born and 'Embraceable You'
