A song from Notre-Dame (reprise)

So guess a riddle, try if you can
The bells chime in Notre-Dame
Who becomes a monster and who a man, then?
The bells ring, ring, ring, ring…
 
The bells, hear them bewitch, they do
Telling everything once again
In a song from Notre-Dame
 

Little Mermaid

Versions: #3
Don’t cry little mermaid
The city sleeps outside
Your story just begun
Don’t cry little mermaid
The day awaits outside
In the mist of the fountains
 
The morning so clear
The silence so soft
Men’s words float on air
Everyone is together
 
The night passed without sleep
Carved our hollow cheeks
You tear everything in a flash of light
And suddenly it’s life....Suddenly it’s life
 
Don’t cry little mermaid
The city sleeps outside
Your story just begun
 
Don’t cry little mermaid
The day awaits outside
In the mist of the fountains
 
This night you’ve come from angels
Beautiful as ever
Tonight our ways upset you
With light everywhere
 
All these phantoms touch you
Hands which help
Puffs of cold air in your mouth
Suddenly it’s life...Suddenly it’s life
 
Don’t cry little mermaid
The city awaits outside
Your story just begun
 
Don’t cry little mermaid
The day awaits outside
In the mist of the fountains
 
Here you arrive like a Queen
Just at daybreak
With your porcelain echo
Your call for help
 
Like an ingrained signal
Time flies in its own time
First hours, then days, then weeks
Then years of love
Years of love
 
Don’t cry little mermaid
The city awaits outside
Your story just begun
 
Don’t cry little mermaid
The day awaits outside
In the mist of the fountains
 
Don’t cry little mermaid
 
Don't cry little mermaid
The day awaits outside
In the mist of the fountains
 

Why Not Mimi?

Who knows how to dream aloud?
Why not me?
Who likes conspiracies?
Why not me?
Who can change the world?
Why not Mimi?
 
Who knows the way?
Why not me?
Who gets themsleves out of the mess?
Why not me?
Who can change the world?
Why not Mimi?
 
Why not Mimi?...
 
I would change the world if there is the need
Why not me?
Why not Mimi?

Mindenki előtt

Ooo, Mindenki előtt, mindenki előtt
Szeretem, ami nekem van
Szeretem, ami nekünk van
 
Olyan jó vagy, mikor nevetsz
Amikor kint vagyok, hívsz, szóval aggódsz
Olyan cuki vagy, mikor dühös vagy
Mintha nem tetszett nekem, rám nézel és hallgatsz
 
És nem érdekel, mit számít neked
Csak az, amit hordozol magadban
Csak rád van szükségem
Csak te tudod
Annyira furcsa és különleges, így az enyém
 
Ez a mi időnk
Aki törődik velünk, a miénk
Ez a mi időnk
És most kiabálok a hangunkkal
 
Ooo, szeretném mondani mindenkinek, mindenki előtt
Ooo, szeretem, ami nekem van
Szeretem, ami nekünk van
 
Ez a mi időnk
Aki törődik velünk, a miénk
Ez a mi időnk
És most kiabálok a hangunkkal
 
Ooo, szeretném mondani mindenkinek, mindenki előtt
Ooo, szeretem, ami nekem van
Szeretem, ami nekünk van
 
Olyan jó vagy, mikor csinálod
És olyan fontos, hogy valami jót csinálsz
Olyan cuki vagy, amikor bejössz
Amikor semmi sem megy, mindig vicces vagy
 
És nem érdekel, mit számít neked
Csak az, amit hordozol magadban
Csak rád van szükségem
Csak te tudod
Annyira furcsa és különleges, így az enyém
 
Ez a mi időnk
Aki törődik velünk, a miénk
Ez a mi időnk
És most kiabálok a hangunkkal
 
Ooo, szeretném mondani mindenkinek, mindenki előtt
Ooo, szeretem, ami nekem van
Szeretem, ami nekünk van
 
Ez a mi időnk
Aki törődik velünk, a miénk
Ez a mi időnk
És most kiabálok a hangunkkal
 
Ooo, szeretném mondani mindenkinek, mindenki előtt
Ooo, szeretem, ami nekem van
Szeretem, ami nekünk van
 

Boom

Like in a slow-motion film, zoom
The last image, you running away, boom
You built a life, you left and boom
It's grey outside, cut then zoom
The taxi down below starting up and boom
My heart is beating in slow-motion, boom
I see myself in your eyes, it's all over, boom
Our love story washes away in the rain
Above all, stop thinking about you
Go out, act like I'm holding up
 
Your memory chases me
You're in all my nights
Who will help me stop thinking about us?
You left and it's too late
You left without a glance
Who will help me erase you from my memory?
 
[Refrain]
I've tried to forget you
No matter what we say and do love is wrong sometimes
I've tried to escape
No matter what we think and undo love is wrong sometimes
I think about you, I see you everywhere
I dream about me, but I dream about us
Deep down I'm going crazy
I'm afraid I don't know how to love anymore
 
Like a film in slow-motion, zoom
I try to hide my flowing tears
I feel all alone, lost in the crowd
So many memories that I keep inside me
You said that's life, it's all over, boom
In a few seconds a world crumbles
Not looking at photos of us anymore
Since you left everything has ended
Go out, act like I'm holding up
But knowing that you're far away drives me crazy
 
You left and it's too late
You left without a glance
Who will help me erase you from my memory?
 
[Refrain]
I've tried to forget you
No matter what we say and do love is wrong sometimes
I've tried to escape
No matter what we think and undo love is wrong sometimes
I think about you, I see you everywhere
I dream about me, but I dream about us
Deep down I'm going crazy
I'm afraid I don't know how to love anymore
 
Famous on the beat, drop drop on the beat, DC on the beat (3)
 
[Refrain]
I've tried to forget you
No matter what we say and do love is wrong sometimes
I've tried to escape
No matter what we think and undo love is wrong sometimes
I think about you, I see you everywhere
I dream about me, but I dream about us
Deep down I'm going crazy
I'm afraid I don't know how to love anymore

Everything I Have

[Verse 1]
I don't know if we're friends anymore
It's cold, and I'm exposed1
I promised myself that I wouldn't wait for you
For I couldn't stand any more, I can't stand it anymore
Sometimes I think that I’m just groveling
And you’ll never notice
For you refuse everything I have
 
[Chorus]
I'm seeking an opportunity
I have patience and will wait for you
If it talks of happiness
I'm talking about something greater
Come a bit closer, I'm cold, stop staring
And take everything I have
 
[Verse 2]
Use me for whatever you want
Realize that a body awaits
I have a limit, and it's going to break
The little to nothing we have left
Tell it that it doesn't get friendship
Hush up a bit and think about what you want first
 
[Chorus]
I'm seeking an opportunity
I have patience and will wait for you
If it talks of happiness
I'm talking about something else
Come a bit closer, I'm cold, stop staring
And take everything I have
 
[Bridge]
No one can make you do anything, right?
They're your ideas, you have to let them go
There are no shadows, just you and I
You've been wanting it for a while
Recognize the warmth
 
I'm seeking an opportunity
I have patience and will wait for you
I'm seeking an opportunity
I have patience and will wait for you

Francesca

Francesca is
in my thoughts,
I carry her with me,
Francesca is mine.
 
She gave everything meaning
and one day she left us.
 
My little darling,
since I've promised you our tales,
I confide them to this red ballon
that's heading for the clouds.
 
If your love is there
that means that
it lives in me
for eternity.
 
Your struggle has been left here
in your room,
in my heart.
 
My little darling,
your reflection still shines in my tears.
the challenge of remembering you now
where you are no longer.
 
Don't feel sorry, walk away,
even if the reason hurts,
I dream now that alongside the moon,
you are well.
 
God has called for you
but He knows that one day I'll come for you,
wait for me, for I am your mother
and will know how to recognize you
 
Francesca is there,
Francesca is mine.

I'll think of you

I hear that plane passing by,
the one who takes you to the planet of oblivion,
I know it's not likely to happen, that I find you again
and our paths cross once more.
 
I'll think of you,
only of you,
keep you in a safety box,
from my memory,
I'll think of you,
basically of you,
it's all I need,
to survive.
 
I read the newspaper and it says
there's another war, again
in this same land,
the man of time says,
a wave of polar love is coming.
 
I'll think of you,
only of you,
keep you in a safety box,
from my memory,
I'll think of you,
basically of you,
it's all I need,
to survive.
 
I'll think of you, exclusively
without breathing, exclusively
I'll think of you, exclusively.
 
Just learning.

Sleep, my darling

Dawn breaks, what will you do?
Broken heart and aching soul
Without hopes or dreams, somewhere in hell
Your made-up heavens
 
Beware of danger, your forced wandering
Has made you an easy prey
There are so many traps, deadlocks and curses
That awaits you, so many hazards
 
So come, my darling
Let your tears fall
And relieve your pain,
Distress and fear
 
Sleep, my darling
The light will find
And smoothly open
Your heart and soul
 
The street wakes up, but darkness lays upon you
Like a foreseen disaster
Is it really worth it to make up lies
So that you don't have to think
 
Your glass prison, with perverse effects
You'll soon have to break it
It's not too late to change your ways
Here, quit, let go of everything
 
So come, my darling
Let your tears fall
And relieve your pain
Soothe your fears
 
Sleep, my darling
The light will find
And smoothly open
Your heart and soul
 
And there she cries, talks about plenitude
Flashes in her head,
Explosions and sliced throats
 
Make it stop, she yells, i'm so scared
The machine goes wild
And it's bound to hurt
 
Come, my darling
Let your tears fall
And relieve your pain
Soothe your fears
 
Sleep, my darling
The light will find
And smoothly open
The way to your heart
 

My heart

My heart is tired of waiting
It wants to live, to chase you until the end
My heart is tired of dreaming
It wants to go out and dance until it dies
 
Through the river, to the sea
I'll be looking for my opportunity
If I get lost
Save a place for me in your memory
In your memory
In your memory
 
My heart doesn't want to listen anymore
It wants to sing, until it has no voice left
My heart is left without illusion
It wants to fly and never come back
 
Through the river, to the sea
I'll be looking for my opportunity
If I get lost
Save a place for me in your memory
In your memory
In your memory
 
And if I get lost in the dark
Know that I prefer to shipwreck
Instead of waiting
 
My heart is tired of waiting
It wants to live, to chase you until the end...
 
Through the river, to the sea
I'll be looking for my opportunity
If I get lost
Save a place for me in your memory
In your memory
In your memory
(In your memory)
My heart, my heart, my heart (x3)
 
My heart is tired of dreaming
My heart doesn't want to listen anymore
My heart wants a place in your memory
Save a place for me in your memory
 

What's it gonna be

Everything but everything important
Filled the room
Nothing that nobody notices that's missing
And all that I lack is missing
Behind every important phrase
That we've said as robots
The memories of two of us are drowning
Stepping, throwing away my instincts
And I ask myself every day
Isn't this going to be my thing
But sometimes everything falls and vanishes
Thinking how from the other night
So many nights are separating us
 
Today when dawn arrived
I listened to you crying
Without knowing I was there
And without telling you a word
I kissed you in the face
And pretended not to hear you murmur
 
The gestures before insignificant
They were only provocation
Everything was too much or not enough
And who cares is not the issue
The hatred was only one step away
From what was once love
The looks of us two are burning
Stepping, throwing away my instincts
And I ask myself every day
Isn't this going to be my thing
But sometimes everything falls and vanishes
Thinking how from the other night
So many nights are separating us
 
And what? Tell me what's it gonna be with us
If we keep losing ourselves little by little
Each day a little more
And the last thing I remember
Is whispering to you in a low voice
That tomorrow I'll have to go to work early
 

The Damned French

Versions: #3
They speak with precise words
They pronounce all of their syllables
They always give each other kisses
They spend forever at each meal
 
They have incomprehensible menus
They drink water as if it were wine
They eat bread and then fois gras
And they find a way to not get fat
 
They protest every fifteen minutes
On every damned street corner
All of the taxis have drivers
That drive like madmen, bumper to bumper
 
And when they come to our country
It's for the winter and the Indians
And long walks on snowmobiles
Or on dog sleds
 
They have miniscule cups
and immense ashtrays
They make 'real' coffee for 'adults'
And they down it in two gulps
 
You find they great big German Shepards
And their little poodles
On the floor of the restaurants,
The grocery stores, the pharmacies
 
They say they dine when they have supper
And it's two o'clock when they have breakfast (this is a reference to a difference in dialect - in France 'dejuner' means lunch. In Quebec, it means breakfast).
In the morning, they eat yogurt -
They don't know eggs and bacon
 
At the end of the night, it's more saurkraut,
Duck breast, or escargots (snails)
Everything happens exactly to their taste
In the preparations of their damned veal's head
 
A bit of eyelid, a bit of gum (as in your mouth),
A bit of ear, a bit of lips
For the Quebequois' taste buds, it's a bit much
 
Then, they take us for martian
When we ask for a glass of milk,
Or when we ask, 'Where is the 'salle de bain', if you please'
(Here there is another play on regional dialects, in France, bathrooms are 'toilettes' and 'salle de bains' are literally 'rooms where you bathe)
 
And when they come to Quebec,
They put on a Toque (type of hat) and a Kanuk (type of coat)
And they start by searching for igloos
And finish in a sugar shack (reference to the maple syrup)
 
They quickly fall in love
With our forests and our lakes
And they start talking like us
After saying tabernacle (a type of dwelling)
 
And drunk on caribou
And on Molson (beer) and on much gin
They rave about our stews,
Our pork's feet (as in pickled), and our beans
 
They see that we don't have stinky cheese
And they get used to an old cheddar
And they stop complaining
About our bastard coffee (referencing that French coffee is much stronger)
 
When their stay is finally over,
They understand that they don't have the right
To call us Canadians
Because we are Quebecois (They are Quebecois first, then Canadiens)
 
They say goodbye with tears in their eyes
And maple syrup in their bags
They realize that we are like them
And we wish them safe travels
 
We give them a kiss goodbye
As if we'd always done so
And there is a missing piece of Quebec,
When the damned French leave.
 

Bolívia

Kirándulni indultam egy szobában
A saját magányom volt legközelebb
Olyan puha a bőröd, hogy újra beléd eshetnék
Miért hibás minden egy kicsit?
Miért?
 
Láttam, ahogy fúj a szél,és idővel
Falakat vagy szélmalmokat épít
A változást üvölteni
Otthon a kanapén ülve
Miért hibás minden egy kicsit?
Miért?
 
Az emberségesség, ami változást hoz
Vigyél el Bolíviába, hogy meggondoljam magam
Vigyél el Bolíviába, hogy minden megváltozzon
Kikapcsolom a telefonom
Szabad leszek és független
Anya, ne
Nincs szükségem semmire
 
A sötétben pedálozni megállás nélkül
Bújócskázni az erdőben
Egy kicsit szabadabbnak érezni magad
Nem teljesen,
De van gravitáció
Még itt is van gravitáció
 
Az emberségesség, ami változást hoz
Vigyél el Bolíviába, hogy meggondoljam magam
Vigyél el Bolíviába, hogy minden megváltozzon
Kikapcsolom a telefonom
Szabad leszek és független
Anya, ne
Nincs szükségem semmire
 
De ha megtudsz menteni
A nedvességtől, a szűnni nem akaró esőtől
Ami az olyan ember csontjáig hatol,
Aki mindig panaszkodik,
Rosszul eszik,
És azt hiszi el, amit olvas
 
Az emberségesség, ami változást hoz
Vigyél el Bolíviába, hogy meggondoljam magam
Vigyél el Bolíviába, hogy minden megváltozzon
Kikapcsolom a telefonom
Szabad leszek és független
Anya, ne
Nincs szükségem semmire
 
Nincs szükségem semmire
 

Francesca (Little Alien)

Francesca is here
In an idea
I carry her inside me
Francesca is mine
 
She has given everything a sense
And then she flew away
 
My little angel
That day I promised you
All my fairytales
I send them
On the red balloon
Through the clouds
 
Your heart is here
And it means
That you live in me
It won't stop
 
You fought for so long but
Your soul
Now is free
 
My little angel
Now your reflection lies
Amid my tears
I had you
To give you what I could
Nothing is useless
 
Little alien
You walk away
But I remain by your side
Maybe in the night
From the Moon
You look for me
 
God took you
Because He knows that I'll come to take you back
I'll be there as well
Will you know how to recognize me that day?
 
Francesca is here
Francesca is mine

Love is a strange game.

Love is a strange game
she comes and goes from one to the other.
She takes everything from us, but she also gives way too much.
Love is a strange game.
 
We have known and loved each other for years,
the future seemed so clear to both of us.
We almost drove to the registry office [to get married],
until everything was suddenly changed.
 
Love is a strange game
she comes and goes from one to the other.
She takes everything from us, but she also gives way too much.
Love is a strange game.
 
How many times have you sworn allegiance to me,
and between you and me, it was such a long time
But then you have lost your heart.
only for that reason am I lonely again today.
 

These Eyes / The Man Is Dead

[Mercedes:]
Oh Lord, my heart is beating faster
And my mind is in desperation
Can it be?
Can it be you returned?
 
How his gaze is secretly lusting for me
Dark, full of desire and deep as the ocean
This face seems to familiar to me
Just bereft of its youth and softness
What is it that makes you hesitate?
A whisper is enough
So close, yet inaccessibly far away
I see a man lying to himself
Torn apart by endless silence
 
[Monte Christo:]
The man is dead
Nothing has remained
He died a little every day
Deep underground at Château d'If his coffin is rotting
You are confused
He isn't here
No matter what you see
Dead and cold he soon was
A little history
Of love
And how to betray it
 
[Monte Christo (& Mercedes):]
I am a ghost (In this gaze...)
A false dream made up of old pictures of him (... pictures of him...)
(Dark, full of desire and deep as the ocean)
The man is dead (Like this gaze...)
Nothing has remained
But still this pain is tormenting me (... this pain is tormenting me)
 
[Monte Christo (& Mercedes):]
Won't you release me and set my heart free
What is it that makes me hesitate?
A whisper is enough
So close, yet inaccessibly strange
Has love succumbed to destiny?
Too much has been broken...
Too many scars...
For this silence to tear us apart...

The only thirteen verses sonnet and the reason thereof

All these new words, they give me the run-around.
In dictionaries1 they are nowhere to be found
And I often find myself staring in wonder
at those, which seem to defy natural order:
 
Beowulfrid, benzinoscope, extralongshore,
chattycacious, loudbraymaniac, tomcatize,
spinotron, cheesophage, roalddahlize,
whatsworthoid, taylorous, what is all that for?
 
But among them is a word impronounceable.
Under a rough sound, its meanig delectable,
it is the word: oulichnblkrtssfrllnns.
 
I was wrong to call upon it for a sonnet
for I can't find a rhyme for frllnns.

Veled

Veled a zene élet
Veled szerencsés vagyok
Veled a szív bátrabb
Veled a legjobb
 
Veled a csillagok fényesek
Veled a mennyország velem van
Veled a szerelmes dalok
Veled teljesen más
 
Hány nap, év
Hány rossz lépésem
Futottam és elfáradtam, hogy megérintselek téged
 
Amit testem érez
Mindez a szeretetre emlékeztet
És amikor leginkább imádsz engem, minden szeretet szaga körbevesz
 
Hagyd, hogy a szived jel nélkül fújja meg
Hagyd, hogy az ajkai megerősítsék, hogy senki nem szereti
Veled a zene élet, Veled szerencsés vagyok

Rózsák a kőben

Ha én vagyok a másik, kicsit megbocsáthatatlan vagyok
Ami mindent megad, az életet neked
Vagy őszintén, őszintén szólva
A szívben van mindened, és a tied vagyok
 
Az emberek mellett képzelem el magam
vagy a mellkasodba ragadt
Van rózsák a kőben
vagy én a vállamon szeretlek
 
(Csak a kép)
(Az emberek előtt vagyok)
(Vagy csukott vagyok)
(A mellkasban van)
(Magam rózsa vagyok)
(Kőből vagyok)
(Vagy egyedül vagyok)
(A válládon)
 
Csak vendég vagyok vagy reggeli hídig
Neved segít a rövid éjszakában
Vagy tényleg olyan forró
Feladod a szerelmed, ami nem fog megtörténi
 
Az emberek mellett képzelem el magam
vagy a mellkasodba ragadt
Van rózsák a kőben
vagy én a vállamon szeretlek
 
(Csak a kép)
(Az emberek előtt vagyok)
(Vagy csukott vagyok)
(A mellkasban van)
(Magam rózsa vagyok)
(Kőből vagyok)
(Vagy egyedül vagyok)
(A válládon)

With you

With you is the life of music
With you being lucky enough
With you is the heart more courageous
With you is the best of you
 
With you the stars are shiny
With you is heaven beside me
With you are love songs
With you it's all different
 
How many days, years
How wrong my steps
I run and I get tired of touching you
 
Al 'what my body feels
All this reminds me of love
And when you worship me most, all love is smelling
 
Let your heart sign without blowing you without it
Let your lips confirm that no one likes that
With you is the life of music, with you being lucky enough
 
With you is the life of music
With you being lucky enough
With you is the heart more courageous
With you is the best of you
 
With you the stars are shiny
With you is heaven beside me
With you are love songs
With you it's all different
 
How many days, years
How wrong my steps
I run and I get tired of touching you
 
Al 'what my body feels
All this reminds me of love
And when you worship me most, all love is smelling
 
Let your heart sign without blowing you without it
Let your lips confirm that no one likes that
 
How many days, years

Roses in the stone

If I'm another, I'm a little bit inexcusable
Which would give you all, life for you
Or honestly, honestly
In the heart you have everything and yours for me
 
Do I picture myself in front of people?
Or I'm stuck in your chest
Do I have roses in the stone
Or I love you on your shoulder
 
(Is the picture alone)
(I am in front of people)
(Or I'm sealed)
(You in the chest)
(Do I roses myself)
(I'm in stone)
(Or I am alone)
(On your shoulder)
 
Are I just a guest or until morning bridge?
Your name is to help you shorter the night
Or, actually, so hot
You give up love that will never happen
 
Do I picture myself in front of people?
Or I'm stuck in your chest
Do I have roses in the stone
Or I love you on your shoulder
 
(Is the picture alone)
(I am in front of people)
(Or I'm sealed)
(You in the chest)
(Do I roses myself)
(I'm in stone)
(Or I am alone)
(On your shoulder)
 
(Is the picture alone)
(I am in front of people)
(Or I'm sealed)
(You in the chest)
(Do I roses myself)

(Or I am alone)

Do I picture myself in front of people?
Or I'm stuck in your chest
Do I have roses in the stone
Or I love you on your shoulder
 
Do I picture myself in front of people?
Or I'm stuck in your chest
Do I have roses in the stone

Őrült

Úgy érzed magad
Mélyen belémszerettél ebben a szerelemben
Az én szívem feléd enged
Mikor láttam a szemeid, fiú
Olyan vagy, mint egy film, fekete és fehér
Engedj ki egyenesen az elmémből
 
Esküszöm, hogy én emlékeznék
Rózsák, lovak és az eső
örökké csinálja és én-én-én-én megyek...
 
Őrülten
Örülten megyek a szerelmedért
Őrülten
Örülten megyek a szerelmedért
Szerelem
Szerelem
 
Szeretlek, mert ez a szerelem nem ismer okokat, nincsenek játékok
Csakúgy mint Bonnie és Clyde, együtt járunk az úton
Nincs félelem, nincs szünet.
 
Megvilágítod a világomat
nem kell gyémánt vagy gyöngy, nem az a fajta lány
A Holdon túl
királynőd leszek és én leszek a bolond
 
Mondd, emlékezni fogsz rá
Rózsák, lovak és az eső
örökké csinálja és én-én-én megyek...
 
Őrülten
Örülten megyek a szerelmedért
Őrülten
Örülten megyek a szerelmedért
Szerelem
Szerelem
 
Nem fut, nem tér vissza
most a hálód foglya vagyok
ez valódi, kérdezem magamtól
Édes fantázia, Nem tudok segíteni, elrejteni azt
Az égen át száguldok...
 
Őrült vagyok a szerelmedért
Őrült, Őrült leszek, Őrült leszek
Szerelem
 

Dance, my life

One morning I left the harbour.
I set forth with a carefree heart,
not knowing where North was
and hoping only for a good wind
Mmmmm a good wind.
 
I crossed paths with a thousand people,
none of them smarter than me.
They fought the hurricane,
holding fast to any odd thing.
Mmmmm any odd thing
 
Come on and dance, dance, my life,
like a ship rolling on the waves,
roll, roll, roll, my life
like a star, like the universe.
Come on and sway, sway, sway, my life
like a charriot on a rocky path.
Bang, bang, bang, my life,
like a plane ripping through the air.
 
Some nights we're blue at first,
when storms get too heavy.
To ward off bad luck
we sing love songs yet again
Mmmmm love songs
 
Come on and dance, dance, my life,
like a ship rolling on the waves,
roll, roll, roll, my life
like a star, like the universe.
Come on and sway, sway, sway, my life
like a charriot on a rocky path.
Bang, bang, bang, my life,
like a plane ripping through the air.
 
[spoken]
Come on, dance, my life, dance
Show us how well you can dance.
You are pretty, appealing, arousing, captivating.
You are a woman
And, you see, tonight I look at you more closely than usual.
For once, I'm in no hurry.
Come on, dance , my life, be nice.
Give me a smile, you can sile so well when you want.
I love you, I love you, I love you so much.
 
Come on and dance, dance, my life,
like a ship rolling on the waves,
roll, roll, roll, my life
like a star, like the universe.
Come on and sway, sway, sway, my life
like a charriot on a rocky path.
Bang, bang, bang, my life,
like a plane ripping through the air.
 
Come on and dance, dance, my life,
like a ship rolling on the waves,
roll, roll, roll, my life
like a star, like the universe.
Come on and sway, sway, sway, my life
like a charriot on a rocky path.
Bang, bang, bang, my life,
like a plane ripping through the air.

Portuguese washerwomen

Have you heard of the washerwomen
You may see in Portugal
Especially by the river
In the city of Setubal?
They don't really work in wash houses
But rather in birdhouses
You should hear and see them
Beat out the rythm of their songs with their beaters
 
      As long as there's laundry to be washed
 
    We shall drink manzanilla 1
 
    As long as there's laundry to be washed
 
    We shall do without men
 
    And hit, and hit and hit with your beater
 
    And hit, and hit, you'll sleep better tonight
 
When a man comes by
Especially if he is young and good-looking
Their straps fall down right away
From their fresh shoulders
But if it's a tramp
Or even some kind of old hidalgo
They play at sending him water
Singing in a scratchy voice
 
      As long as there is laundry to be washed
 
    We shall drink manzanilla 1
 
    As long as there is laundry to be washed
 
    We shall do without men
 
At dawn the washerwomen
Leave with their white linen
You should see their proud figures
Standing out on the twilight sky
With their basket balanced on their head
Like ancient goddesses
You could hear slowly fading away the sound
Of their chorus and their soft steps
 
      As long as there is laundry to be washed
 
    We shall drink manzanilla 1
 
    As long as there is laundry to be washed
 
    We shall do without men
 
    And hit, and hit and hit with your beater
 
    And hit, and hit, you'll sleep better tonight
 
      And hit, and hit and hit with your beater
 
    And hit, and hit, you'll sleep better tonight
 
    And hit, and hit...

Wail of the unfaithful

Good folks,
Listen to the sad song
Of stray lovers
Suffering their torment
Because they loved
Unfaithful women
Who cheated them
Disgracefully
 
Beware, cruel women,
They could well retaliate
Sorrow is not eternal
Even for the best of lovers
 
Beaten with your own weapons
You will know in turn
Despair and tears
Of distrust and love.
 
A heart for a heart
A tooth for a tooth
Such is the rule for lovers
A heart for a heart
A tooth for a tooth
Such is the rule for lovers
 
Good folks,
Hear the chorus of cruel girls
Lawless and faithless,
Cheated by their lovers
Because they loved
Unfaithful women
They take their revenge
Victoriously
 
Ah! Suffer my turtledoves
Now you are short of a lover!
It's your turn to feel the torment
Of deadly dismay
 
Shed your pretty tears
Yes, weep, it's your turn indeed
You had to surrender your weapons
And love is dead, love lives forever!
 
A heart for a heart
A tooth for a tooth
Such is the rule for lovers
A heart for a heart
A tooth for a tooth
Such is the rule for lovers
 

Bye bye

Bye bye
It is a shame to go, but bye bye.
You, beautiful woman on the threshol that says farwell to me.
And kisses hugs and spits,
And I spit love,
Me, that never spit.
 
Bye bye
To go was written, so bye bye
You, beautiful girl that never understood me.
The train is already leaving,
Weave your tissue,
My love, but cry a little less.
 
Bye bye
Bye love bye, love bye
Look at the beautiful flowers of that city
Bye love bye, love how are you?
Bye love, love bye, love bye.
 
Bye bye,
Look at the beautiful flowers of that city
That never has seen me and won't ever see me.
Look at the sea
Look at those small boats that go sailing
 

Rusty Trumpets

One nostalgic evening
Franc and Liza
Were dancing on the trapeze
In the circus Quala-bla-dala
 
Franc forgot Liza
Somewhere high in the air
He saw her eyes
On the floor of Quala-bla-dala
 
He wanted elephants to fly
And wake her, and wake her
Rusty trumpets with their music
To wake her, to wake her
 
Giraffes, monkeys and tigers
Are sad, as are African lions
Franc listened to trumpets
And tore up circus posters
 
Franc forgot Liza
Somewhere high in the air
He saw her eyes
On the floor of Quala-bla-dala
 
He wanted elephants to fly
And wake her, and wake her
Rusty trumpets with their music
To wake her, to wake her
 
Rusty trumpets
Rusty trumpets
Rusty trumpets with their music
To wake her, to wake her
 

Volcano

Versions: #3
v
v
v as in volcano
and a thousand other things
like the will to walk close to the fire
and to see if this beating heart is true
if it's real or just vanity
 
v as in volcano
and a thousand other things
like the volume
that rises and contains the sea
and to see if it's worth scorching yourself
or not to really go through with it
go through with it
 
I run at night
the streetlights the stars
there's the Indian bar
it smells like you
I laugh louder
I lose myself at dawn
you are in everything
and in everything
explodes
the vertigo I have for you
the vertigo I have for you
 
v as in volcano
and a thousand other things
the fear of
wandering aimlessly for too long
and to see if this heart that vibrates is real
you really want to travel
to really travel
 
I run at night
the streetlights the stars
there's the Indian bar
it smells like you
I laugh louder
I lost myself at dawn
you are in everything
and in everything
explodes
the vertigo I have for you
the vertigo I have for you
 
I move
I spot
The traffic light downtown
has been off for an hour
you'll be asleep
it's so nice to feel even here
the vertigo I have for you
 
I run at night

Father Francisco

Father Francisco
Don't ask them whaat they think about Christ
They have another worry
 
Father Francisco
They added a new nail in the crucifix
To leave it forgotten in the wall
 
Bread and work
Of what miracles do you talk about?
Ceiling and under
The land where to grow
Reason and faith
 
Father Francisco
You'll have to multiply the bread for the people
Or else there won't be a God
 
Father Francisco
We can't render the Caesar's stuff to Caesar
Because he takes them without asking
 
Raise your hands
to summon the protection
of the brothers
Whose sin was to be born
without control nor warmth
 
Father Francisco,
Don't worry if they call you communist
With standarts and speakerboxes
 
Father Francisco,
Go out for Christ to preach
A bolder justice
 
There won't be calm
Speak to the soul
Of the standing people
So much faith is needed
Be able

How far can love carry

Sometimes you build your luck on sand
but it just stands until the wave comes back
I was in the same situation where you are now
and let my traces behind me on the sand
 
I can see your tears even if you don't say anything
I know that you wonder...
 
how high and how far can love carry
and what can a song say to us?
Say how beautiful you are
that hope is everywhere
Fears can just be beaten by courage if we
carry us far with love
 
Sometimes you just a last step
But you don't know how to go on or how to go back
The pictures that life shows us
always let something there that remains
 
I can see you laughing, because every of your tear
made you strong
 
how high and how far can love carry
and what can a song say to us?
Say how beautiful you are
that hope is everywhere
Fears can just be beaten by courage if we
carry us far with love
 
Do you see how beautiful you are?
That everywhere is hope?
Fears can just be beaten by courage if we
carry us far with love
 

Storm of the fantasy

Silky smooth, the night is covered by the light
and my heart catches you
We shine to the horizon
A magic sea that lives in us explodes
 
When the fire wins the ice
In the storm of the fantasy black turns to white
Search for the key to the door
What you see behind lies deeply in me
 
Wonder sweet is the smell of paradis
Satisfy the thirst, forbidden desire
We float over river and forest
A land of fairytale has awaken from eternal
 
When the fire wins the ice
In the storm of the fantasy black turns to white
Search for the key to the door
What you see behind lies deeply in me
 

Wonderland

Close your eyes and take my hand
Come, I'll lead you to a wonderland
Satisfy the smell with all your fantasies
You'll see colors, they're as beautiful as never before
 
Your dreams, they attract each other, they fascinate us
Only you are really close to me
Look around, that's how we are
 
Come, let's fly
Let's lie on clouds, let's push them to the edge of sky
Come, let's fly
with glimmering wings we'll build us a wonderland
 
Our skin shines, gold from star dust
We've stolen a dream from the shine of the world
 
At this timeless place hearts beat so far
If the moment burns up, a wonder never come late
 
Come, let's fly
Let's lie on clouds, let's push them to the edge of sky
Come, let's fly
with glimmering wings we'll build us a wonderland
 
Come, let's fly
Let's lie on clouds, let's push them to the edge of sky
Come, let's fly
with glimmering wings we'll build us a wonderland
