Till we meet again Claire

Till we meet again, Claire - if it were summer again
We'd holiday twice more on the blue sea
Till we meet again, Claire - it's not summer anymore
Everything looks different, for long you've been home
 
The other one here
May not know how wonderful
Our hours were
In the summer wind
 
Till we meet again, Claire - if it were summer again
I wouldn't let you go anymore, as it was far too beautiful
Till we meet again, Claire - it's not summer anymore
But I want that time back with you
 
If the other one loves you
Why did he let you go? (Why did he let you go?)
That you're still holding on to him
I'll never understand, never understand
Till we meet again, Claire - if it were summer again
Indeed, I'd risk a fight for you
 
That was for me
No fleeting love
This dream of a summer night
Doesn't go away
 
Till we meet again, Claire - if it were summer again
We'd holiday twice more on the blue sea
Till we meet again, Claire - it's not summer anymore
But I wish it were summer again
 

Za ljubav na dan Božića

Napisao sam sebi pismo, slagao samog sebe
Da ćeš se vratiti kući uskoro i onda uzdahnem tvoje ime
Čitam ga svako jutro otkako si otišla
Živim u svetu snova, umirem pomalo svakim danom
 
Napisao sam sebi ljubavnu pesmu, verujući svakoj reči
Govoriš mi da me voliš i nečujnim melodijama
Da ćeš se vratiti uskoro i ostaćeš zauvek
Živim u svetu snova, umirem pomalo svakim danom
 
Sneg je na trotoaru, hladno je u mom srcu
Pogledam gore i zapitam se, da li sam izgubio zvezdu vodilju?
I sve je belo napolju, kako može biti tako mračno?
 
Pomolim se i zahvalim Bogu da je tvoja ljubav samo moja
I nikada neće biti druga koja će krasiti naš srećan dom
Molim se na Božićno jutro da ćeš ovog puta ostati
Ali živim u svetu snova, umirem pomalo svakim danom
Da, umirem za ljubav na dan Božića
 

Slave blues

Being black
Is a color
But being a slave
I don't stomach it
It wears me out
To work so much all day long
The lands of the damned lord
 
The fellows
Think alike
Of there's a Spatacus
Who doesn't waste time
And changes this
Or we all go back to Gambia
From Kunta Kinte to today
Little improvements
 
Let's see if now with the civil war
They admit our cotton union
That namely
Wants to obtain
Sunday free days, a normal income
Two bonuses, a holiday month
And a pension after retirement
 
To be treated
With dignity
Like fellows
Emigrants
To end with
The wipes
The lord's whips
And the droit de seigneur
 
And who feels like it, go back
To Senegal
To run naked on the jungle
With the wife and the boy
To go natural
Raising neck and forehead
Like sister ostrich
For not being told
That we're zulus
To sing this blues

Your smile is in my heart

I've got your smile in my heart
It's my small lucky flower
When you smile, heaven is in my life
Your smile is like the morning star
It's my friend, it's my pal
And I say thanks, one hundred times thanks
 
When a rose flowers
It's because you smile passing by
You are sun and fresh water, and honey
Smile to me, my love, smile to me
Everything shines through you
My way is blue under the grey sky
When you smile
 
I've got your smile in my heart
It's my small lucky flower
My love flower, my cockade
On a fine day you smile and life answers you
Everything scatters into songs
I listen to them and I tell you
Thanks, thanks
 

The Secret World of Santa Claus Intro (French)

Santa Claus, how do you guess
The toys I dream of ?
How do you know
That my bike should be red and black
And how do you find the chimney
Under the white snowed roofs ?
 
How ? I don't know !
I don't know !
Yet, I know that, in the permanent snow,
Into your secret world, Santa Claus,
You're thinking about me, you're thinking about me
 
Santa Claus, I only write to you once a year
Yet you don't ever forget me
When I want for you into the dark
Even when I pretend not to believe in you.
You keep your life hidden,
(But) I know you'll love me forever.
 
I'm thinking about you, Santa Claus !
 

Wind

Summer-wind, brought colours under a blue sky
When in the evening, in between young love, you still were there
You who mumbled in a dark corner 'she loves you'
 
I believed in it and got disappointed, where are you now?
You leave me alone dying from love, tell me, what are you doing?
Autumn-wind you blew the leafs from the branch
 
Wind, you take away every season, but tonight I won't play anymore
Wind, you make kites fly, then make them fall down
Wind I hate you, I despise you, you put out the sun in my soul
Also break the wings of my time, then disappear, where are you going?
 
Winter-wind, you cover colours and my blue sky
When in the morning, in between torment and pain, you are always here
You who makes me hope that in spring she will love me
 
I won't fall for it and go back to life, stronger than ever
I try everything to make it stop, you will see
From a black crow I will turn into a seagull
 
Wind, no, I will not indulge you, this time you won't push me down
I will send the kite higher until it's not seen anymore
Wind, you will eat from my hand like a tired sparrow and then
We will fly together slowly, until finding her
 
Wind, Wind, Wind, Wind
 

I will cry

The wind has helped me with its bellowing gust,
With its furious waves the sea has helped me too.
I will cry.
 
All along the way I will call the stones,
The bushes, the ditches, the trees, even the forests.
I will cry.
 
When I hear a voice
And feel something in my chest,
I will cry.
 
So as to make the meat in my throat blow up!
So as to make my blood rush in a primal scream!
I will cry, I will cry!
I will cry, I will cry!
 
Like a man who's stopped to look at the horizon
A man who's finally free from the weight of his chains
That were forged by mad kings and bloody barons,
And monks, all red from the glow of the fire
 
Where my brothers from the past have burned alive
Who have sung about love and human friendship
And eaten white bread made of freedom!
I will cry, I will cry!
I will cry, I will cry!
 

I'm like the wind, it was fate

The snow whitens the night, the day ends, and life is afar
Alone I travel, with my shadow by the frigid river
In and out of the mountains, it is as desolate as a city within a mirage
I'll reign the ice and settle among the dreary mountains
The wind blows, the frost howls for millennia, and then my heart is brought to comfort
I must devote my body to the sea, my blood to the country
 
Don't come close, don't spy
The shadows still exist
Following the conventions of society, my heart can still suffer kindness to exist
Till yesterday life was never constant, today there is nowhere I can go
But I'm free from all those now
 
I'm like the wind, it was fate
Don't compare the bird with the lying prisoner
I'm like the rainbow, let the sky be however wide
For the time being, let the commotion rage on itself
No more words, I will not force myself to conformity
The snow and wind spread and break
Only I, dare to brave the frost alone
 
The sneering laughter and chimney smoke are far away
The neat houses are far away
In the past I was afraid, but now they can't restrain me
 
To follow the tide of time, what can I do?
With my power, I shall shock the world
Who's right, who's wrong?
Act according to my own will
 
I'm like the wind, it was fate
The weather will not chastise me for being free
I'm like the rainbow, let the sky be however wide
The first rays of sunshine are met after the rain
I reign this winter palace, I split the ground for my tower
Unafraid of the harrowing winds
 
My strength can raise a thousand pounds, my breath runs through the earth
I gather my spirit to pacify and capture the ice
The sprinting snowdrift like crushed marble stirs with life, heavier than the cobweb, lighter than catkins
The ice crystals, like flowers, twist and collect my beautiful thoughts
My palace stuns all viewers
My eye looks through the past, why should I care about going back?
 
I'm like the wind, it was fate
I'll be the sun and drive the night away
I'm like the rainbow, let the sky be however wide
Hurriedly I pass the gap, and am nowhere to be seen
I reign this winter palace, reaching high for the sun
The snow and wind spread and break
Only I, dare to brave the frost alone
 

Secrets words

Our old dog understood englsih
And never stop to be upset
So we spell all words that we don't want he understand
Yes we say S-U-G-A-R
Becase if he take more than two
We must going to make him a I-N-J-E-C-T-I-O-N
 
He does'nt support that we considere him like
A-N-I-M-A-L

However he's all peeled
Old beau style
Beside his littles L-E-G-S
He did really well for having
B-A-S-T-A-R-D-S
with all the she-dogs around.
 
When I told to Susie, we need to bring him
Without offending him
To the V-E-T-E-R-I-N-A-R-Y, the vet
In order to C-A-S-T-R-A-T-E him
That's where he told us : Hey, you two
don't take me for a M-O-R-O-N
don't take me for a M-O-R-O-N
Oh yeah !
 

The Land Belongs To You

Where are you going to play with your buddies ?
Where will your spores flow ?
Where are you going to fall, get up and cry
And where are you going to watch the sunset stretching for miles ?
 
What are we leaving for our children ?
What are we going, one day, to show ?
What's right or wrong, will I ever know ?
What makes us forget about years of labour ?
 
I leave you the sun and the sea and the country, my child
Promise you will find me at the end
My flag will continue to blow and the seeds I will sow for you
And I will keep you safe
 
I leave you the sun and the sea and the country, my child
The Lord hears me - We'll find a life
My flag will continue to blow and the seeds I will sow for you
I promise you : The land belongs to you

Earthquake

Bom Lia!
 
Tonight we're gonna party, let's go
I don't give a fuc-woo-woo about time

We may not be a meteor, but you can 'pow'
The rogue and the reckless become popstars
A powerful earthquake on the dancefloor
Scored 10 on the Richter scale
 
A tsunami, you can come and drown in me
Better highlighted than Tufão, Carminha
You can call me Hurricane Katrina
The kinda girls who dances and shakes

You don't die from love

My syndrome is unique and infects the soul
In the mechanisms, full cardiogram
I am rusty to the bone, gotta change the machinery
Gotta throw out all of my equipment
I'm afraid I've ruined myself by giving too much and loving badly
I got lost
I got lost
 
The pain that is eating me up is serious
The doctor will do his best
You don't die from love
You don't die from love
You don't die from love
But I'm calling for help
 
I need repairing but where could I find the courage
To regain health for this body, for this cage
There are some words you don't recover from
You watch for under the skin, we know they sleep there
The pain that is eating me up is serious
The doctor is doing his best
 
The pain that is eating me up is serious
The doctor will do his best
You don't die from love
You don't die from love
You don't die from love
You don't die from love
You don't die from love
You don't die from love
You don't die from love
But I'm calling for help

Beautiful

So beautiful you could write inkpots dry
So beautiful you couldn't find a single word to describe it,
the birds would be left speechless, and the most skilled barrister1 too
your reflection in the water would be angered of being a mere echo.
 
Beautiful as an ocean setting down, as a shard of crystal
that would splash white light on hatred and evil alike,
enough to turn blue mirrors and pictures in drawers.
Beautiful enough to make concrete cities feel emotional.
 
So beautiful you hardly dare talk to her
or even get near her,
as if it were a mortal sin
to come close to such a pretty beauty!
But she doesn't notice me...
And yet I already know
she's the one and I'm the one!
 
Beautiful, please tell me what to do for her to see me at last?
Should she go, I'll die.
 
Beautiful, so beautuful I would wear down all paintbrushes
trying to draw in watercolour
your infinite beauty,
I would wallow in despair for being unable to tell
what your beauty looks like without somewhat betraying it.
 
So beautiful you could mellow the heart of tyrans and torturers,
drive away our demons and fears, burn flags.
So beautiful you'd make bugles and drums go quiet
and give back hope to love outcasts.
 
So beautiful you hardly dare talk to her
or even get near her,
as if it were a mortal sin
to come close to such a pretty beauty!
But she doesn't notice me...
And yet I already know
she's the one and I'm the one!
 
Beautiful, please tell me what to do for her to see me at last?
Should she go, I'll die.

Flying

I'm on my way
To somewhere
No matter where I'll end up
It will be a beautiful place
I can hear a stream rush
And the splashing of fish
I'm jumping up, sitting down
Hanging my feet into the cool water
 
And I'm running over breezy meadows into a dark forest
Enjoying the silence is what keeps me alive
Over breezy meadows, barefoot on the grass
Enjoying the silence
 
And I'll fly away
For nothing can hold me back
And I can feel the sun back, and the wind is blowing and I can feel...
And I'll fly away
For nothing can hold me back
And I can feel the sun back, and the wind is blowing and I can feel
That I can fly
 
Oh, I come to a city
Which has something special about it
Even in the evenings, it's still awake
People in love are looking at each other, happy
They are drinking coffee
And are talking about their days
What someone had said
About someone else
 
And I'm running over breezy meadows into a dark forest
Enjoying the silence is what keeps me alive
Over breezy meadows, barefoot on the grass
Enjoying the silence
 
And I'll fly away
For nothing can hold me back
And I can feel the sun back, and the wind is blowing and I can feel...
And I'll fly away
For nothing can hold me back
And I can feel the sun back, and the wind is blowing and I can feel
That I can fly
 
The night is coming closer
And no wind is blowing
From the distance, I can hear someone sing
And I'm approaching him quietly
And I'm sitting down next to him
He's smiling at me
And he's just as free as I
 
And I'll fly away
For nothing can hold me back
And I can feel the sun back, and the wind is blowing and I can feel...
And I'll fly away
For nothing can hold me back
And I can feel the sun back and the clouds are passing by
And we're
Oh, we're oh so free
 

Moj stari Deda Mraz

[Strofa 1]
Dragi, probudila sam se i gledala kako pada sa mog neba
Dragi, probudila sam se i osetila suzu kako mi je iskliznula iz oka
Dragi, probudila sam se i poželela još samo jednu noć
Ne-ne-ne-ne-ne
Ne-ne-ne-ne-ne

Dragi, jedva mogu da dišem bez tebe pored sebe
Dragi, jedva mogu da dišem, ko će nositi moju božićnu jelku?
Dragi, jedva mogu da dišem, volela bih da nisam morala da te ostavim
Ne-ne-ne-ne-ne
Ne-ne-ne-ne-ne
 
[Pred-Refren]
Oh, tako je hladno bez tebe blizu mene
Moj svakodnevni Deda Mraze
Zato bebo dođi brzo
Počinješ da me napuštaš
Treba mi moj stari Deda Mraz
 
[Refren]
Pa, ako je ovo ono što doba donosi, onda
Moram da pobegnem
Moram da pobegnem
Jer ako je Božić tako zelen i crven, onda
Zašto sam tako tužna?
Zašto sam tako tužna?
Pa, ako je ovo ono što doba donosi, onda
Moram da pobegnem
Moram da pobegnem
Jer ako je Božić tako zelen i crven, onda
Zašto sam tako tužna?
Zašto sam tako tužna?
 
[Strofa 3]
Dragi, probudila sam se sama, poželela da te nisam pustila
Dragi, probudila sam se sama, videla tvoje otiske cipela u snegu
Dragi, probudila sam se sama, tako sam te volela, tako sam te volela
Ne-ne-ne-ne-ne
Ne-ne-ne-ne-ne

Prisoner (Ep. 6: Cloister)

Well, for love I, phew,
Well, I even went down to hell
Now, since I came back up with two angels
(It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts)
Well I don't regret going down
But I did go down, hey!
I did go down
(It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts)
 
You get captured without realising
You realise when you get out
You think, how did I get here?
 

Prison (Chap

Oblak

Hodam u ovom oblaku
U ovom oblaku, na ljubavi
Ali i dalje imam te sumnje
Osećam te sumnje, o nama
Hodam u ovom oblaku
U ovom oblaku, na ljubavi
Ovaj put ne može biti moj, ne može biti moj
 
Odustajem, ooooh
Odustajem, odustajem,
Odstupi, baci sada to oružije
Hodamo u toj laži, hodamo u toj laži,
Znam da se trudiš, da se trudiš da napraviš kompromis
Hodamo u ovom tripu, hodamo u ovom tripu
 
Nas guraju unazad i nadole
Inače ću da flipnem
Nas guraju i obaraju
Na ovu zemlju i prostor
 
Odustajem, ooooh
Odustajem, odustajem,
Odstupi, baci sada to oružije
Hodamo u toj laži, hodamo u toj laži,
Znam da se trudiš, da se trudiš da napraviš kompromis
Hodamo u ovom tripu, hodamo u ovom tripu
 
Odstupi, baci sada to oružije
Hodamo u toj laži, hodamo u toj laži,
Znam da se trudiš, da se trudiš da napraviš kompromis
Hodamo u ovom tripu, hodamo u ovom tripu
U ovom tripu, hodamo u ovom tripu
 

Члан Клана

Док шеташ сам у брдима
Са ветром који ти дува у лице,
Добар је осећај бити поносан
И бити слободан и бити раса.
 
То је део клана,
И живот у горама,
И ваздух који дишеш
Тако чист и тако свеж.
 
Када си сам у брдима,
Са ветром у коси,
Са жудњом да осетиш
Само слободу.
 
Да ли је исправно је веровати
У потребу за слободом?
Време је за умирање
Без преиспитивања.
 
Зар не можеш да видиш шта они раде?
Они нас мељу,
Они нам узимају земљу
Која припада клановима.
 
Нисам сам са сном,
Само желим да будем слободан,
Са потребом да припадам,
Ја сам члан клана!
 
Слобода!
Слобода!
Слобода!
Слобода!
 
Време је прожето страхом,
Земља је прожета променом.
Када би преци чули
Шта се дешава сад
 
Преврнули би се у гробовима,
Сви би се посрамили
Јер је земља слободних
Бачена у окове.
 
И ја знам шта желим,
Када буде прави тренутак
Узећу оно што је моје,
Ја сам члан клана!
 
И кунем се да ћу бранити
И да ћемо се борити до краја,
И кунем се да ме никад живог неће ухватити!
 
И знам да ћемо стајати
И да ћемо се борити за своју земљу
И кунем се да ће се моја деца
Рађати слободна!
 
И знам шта желим,
Када буде прави тренутак
Узећу оно што је моје,
Ја сам члан клана!
 
Слобода!
Слобода!
Слобода!
Слобода!
 
Не, не можемо да им дозволимо да узимају још!
Не можемо да им дозволимо да узимају још!
Ми смо земља слободних!
 
Не, не можемо да им дозволимо да узимају још!
Не можемо да им дозволимо да узимају још!
Ми смо земља слободних!
 
Не, не можемо да им дозволимо да узимају још!
Не можемо да им дозволимо да узимају још!
Не можемо да им дозволимо да узимају још!
Ми смо земља слободних!
 
Слобода!
Слобода!
Слобода!
Слобода!
 
Да ли је исправно је веровати

Your hand

They are quite often tied and sometimes free.
They build kites, they write books.
Sometimes they are open, sometimes they hold batons1
Some people clench them, others reach out with them.
They put them on their hearts on in their pockets.
They build parks where kids go running.
Though they are sometimes used to chastize all around the world,
we could join them, that would form a ring.2
 
Those that hold weapons
Those that wipe tears away
Those that soothe children
Those that unite us
Those that punish us
As for mine, I hold it to you.
 
Give me your hand, kid, and grab his again.
We'll form a round dance and chains
Give me your hand, kid, and grab his again.
We'll go round and round, let's do it3
Give me your hand
Give me your hand, kid, and
we'll go round and round, let's do it
 
Sometimes they are happy, sometimes so lonely.
When they wander they end up in your face
They are quite often naked, some people glove them
Some are put at stake4, some people ask them5
 
Those that hold weapons
Those that wipe tears away
Those that soothe children
Those that unite us
Those that punish us
As for mine, I hold it to you.
 
Give me your hand, kid, and grab his again.
We'll form a round dance and chains
Give me your hand, kid, and grab his again.
We'll go round and round, let's do it
Give me your hand
Give me your hand, kid, and
we'll go round and round, let's do it
 
I was lost just like you in sorrow
I waited for someone to grab mine.
You can build chains out of outstretched hands, you know.
And today it's me who grabs yours.
 
Give me your hand, kid, and grab his again.
We'll form a round dance and chains
Give me your hand, kid, and grab his again.
We'll go round and round, let's do it
Give me your hand, kid, and
Give me your hand, kid, and
we'll go round and round, let's do it
 

• 1. a 'main courante' is a statement you can make in a police station logbook, that can be produced later in law suit. Can't see how to tie that to 'hand' in English except by alluding to the police
• 2. 'ronde' is a round dance, it's the usual term for this metaphor of joining hands all around the world (a round dance around the world)
• 3. I don't know what he means by this 'come on, my sorrow/hard work/sentence'. Apparently he's not speaking any common French variant like Canadian French, so I'm all at sea
• 4. 'mettre sa main à couper('stake one's hand to be cut off') is like 'betting your bottom dollar on smt.'. Sorry, I could not find any English equivalent there either.
• 5. in marriage

Hurry Up Slowly

Did we think
Everything through a bit too much?
We're good now
I know you want to do it all yourself
 
Falling back into yourself...
You've chosen me, I've chosen the way
You choose, I choose you
You've chosen me, I've chosen the way, the way to you
 
We're at it again
After a year of licking wounds
We solved it
The door's ajar
Hurry up and get home slowly
 
Falling back into yourself...
You've chosen me, I've chosen the way
You choose, I choose you
You've chosen me, I've chosen the way, the way to you

Alone

“Let everything be as it is”
…and the wind was flying on your foulard.
You had already taken with you
your hands, your nights, your cheerfulness.
 
“Never cut your hair,
eat a little more, that you’re too skinny”
…and on the table, between a tea and the bill
I also swallowed this farewell…
 
“Let everything be as it is”
…and the sky was fading behind the cranes.
“No, never change and take care of yourself,
of your life, of the world you’ll find”
 
“Try to stay out of trouble,
button your coat well”
…and between the car horns and the bells
I was repeating “I’m not bitter at you”
 
“And don’t worry for me, please”
…while my breathe was turning into smoke
I felt I was fainting little by little,
and little by little you was leaving…
 
I wonder if sooner or later…
if you’ll have ever understood…
if you have looked back…
I wonder if sooner or later…
if you’ll ever think, sometimes,
that I’m alone…
 
And if now I play my songs,
the same ones you loved so much,
if she sits next to me smiling and thinking
that I’ve dedicated them to her…
 
And she doesn’t know about when I told you:
“Eat a little more, that you’re too skinny”,
she doesn’t know about our first day’s fantasies
and about the way you went away…
 
I wonder if sooner or later…
if you’ll have ever understood…
if you have looked back…
I wonder if sooner or later…
if you’ll ever think, sometimes,
that I’ll stay alone, here,
I’ll walk alone,
alone, I’ll carry on…
 

The Clarinet

Put what you present to a girl and say, 'I sound good with the clarinet'
Put that she understands something else and immediately winks at you
Put that you are a pure artist and this thing certainly does not make a good impression
'The clarinet, that goes filù filù filù filà'
Put that she is not an artists and with music she has no pleasure:
The clarinet is brought down already
There is no emotion, no satisfaction to dream of playing the clarinet
It is an particular instrument that needs accompaniment
But where a small clarinet dreams of playing with a jazz clarinet
To make a few pieces, to make this filù filù filù filà
I look for it like this beautiful Titina looks for a little guitar to make some swing
While the clarinet sping . . .born like this out of the blues
A-hum! A-hum! A-hum!... A-hum! A-hum! A-hum!
Without the little guitar you're not able to miss a sveltina in do C
So how do I some filù filù filù filà
I look for it like this beautiful Titina looks for a little guitar to make some swing
While the clarinet sping . . .born like this out of the blues
I look for it like this beautiful Titina looks for a little guitar to make some swing
While the clarinet sping . . .born like this out of the blues
 

I loved you

In a city far away
Some time in eternity
Twilight reminded you and the times with you
After all this time
You are a memory now that never faints
How can someone remember the same eyes every day?
 
I loved you and you hadn't known
I was watching your hair from afar
How it touches your ear
And your nose, it was just unique to you
You looked up when you laughed
Your head has turned above and you had smiling eyes
How beautiful, you hadn't known
I loved you
Things crossed my mind couldn't fit into my heart
They ricocheted to the walls, windows, pavements
They returned, they multiplied
I was avoiding everything else whenever I hear your voice
You were my procrasination
You were becoming a heartache
You were becoming the street names we inhaled together
We were passing through bents, braving through bridges and sometimes jumping over dangerous water
We were couragous
Sweet silver lining was always blue, sunset amber and all the roses were red
I loved you and you hadn't known
You were becoming my happiness time to time
You'd never knew
Then you became like anyone else
After I was done with happiness
Rain poured down in cool june evenings
Then one day I saw you from distance
Your hair with the same determination
Your head challenging whatever is coming your way
It is just the same
It ached my heart again as always
I thought we had changed and again you hadn't known
If someone tells you all of it now, who knows
But never mind, it is better you don't know
 

For everybody there's always somebody

For everybody there's always somebody
nobody ever lives without love
now that that somebody
[To] love is you
 
For everybody there's always somebody
Somebody to knows how to understand you
There's the mouth which
Can kiss you
 
And if it were in my power
the same I'd do with you
with your sweet smile
with your face that has made me fall in love.
 
For everybody there's always somebody
nobody ever lives without love
now that that somebody
Forever is you.
 
And if it were in my power
the same I'd do with you
with your sweet smile
with your face that has made me fall in love.
 
For everybody there's always somebody
nobody ever lives without love
now that that somebody
Forever is you.
chorus: for everybody there's always somebody
 

Rich

There'll be days with and days without
Friends who return their jacket in no time
Days of pain that bind us and the torments
Miserable love affairs 1
At the age when one disowns their dad, you'll disown me
And I won't make manners, nor cinema
You'll tell me shit 2, slaps will be lost, that's how it is
I'll do the same
 
Perhaps you won't be the best, my son
But, me however, I'll be proud
What's the point of being rich
When I'm already rich by being a dad
Perhaps you won't be the strongest, my son
But the two of us will be millionaires
Whether I'm rich or poor
You'll be rich having a father
You'll be rich having a father
 
The years will go by quickly, we'll play again
Birthdays, Christmases, et cetera
Like every night your mother will be there
Waiting for you to come home
When I need you, where will you be?
Someplace travelling, on a beach, will you answer?
 
I'll dream of your face, I won't know anymore
What age you are
 
Perhaps you won't be the best, my son
But, me however, I'll be proud
What's the point of being rich
When I'm already rich by being a dad
Perhaps you won't be the strongest, my son
But the two of us will be millionaires
Whether I'm rich or poor
You'll be rich having a father
You'll be rich having a father
 
My little emperor, don't become a great man
Just become a grown man
That's enough
 
Perhaps you won't be the best, my son
But, me however, I'll be proud
What's the point of being rich
When I'm already rich by being a dad
Perhaps you won't be the strongest, my son
But the two of us will be millionaires
Whether I'm rich or poor
You'll be rich having a father
You'll be rich having a father
 

• 1. 'amours chiennes' literally means 'bitch loves'. We don't really ahve a translation for this in English. It's a love is dysfunctional and that makes you miserable.
• 2. I'm unsure, but this expression could mean 'you'll wish me luck'. Sometimes in France, before an exam or an important performance peple will say 'Je te dis merde' which literally means 'I tell you shit' but it's like saying 'break a leg' in English. You say it because the belief is that actually wishing somenody 'good luck' will bring about bad luck.
  So this line could mean one of two things:
  (1) 'You tell me shit' as in you tell me nothing of importance, as kids tend to keep their personal lives from their parents.
  (2) 'You'll wish me good luck' as in saying goodbye and then losing contact.

Nothing

I'm going up the slope
Of a very high mountain.
I don't see, I do not see,
The chasm I have left
Kilometers still,
To reach (read 'make it' - metaphor I guess).
 
Climbing the mountain range,
The walking gets complicated.
The muscle suffers,
The air doesn't reach (or 'The air is fleeting' - thin air at high altitudes)
I need to lighten up,
To reach.
 
[chorus]
And I leave
One, one, all my bags. (One by one, all of my bags)
I loose the luggage of this life.
I do not have anything to carry anymore,
Nothing to drag.
Nothing.
[/ chorus]
 
Advancing at a steady pace,
I'm ascending ('ascendiendo' in spanish - probably)
And maintaining the rhythm.
I see, I catch sight,
(Of) The chasm I have left
One last effort,
To reach.
 
[chorus]
 
I travel light,
I can breath
[x2]
 
[chorus x2]
 
I travel light,
I can breath
 

Ништа

Идем уз падину
Јако велике планине.
Ја не видим, не видим,
Провалију коју сам напустио
Километри и даље,
Да достигнем.
 
Пењући се планином,
Ходање постаје компликовано.
Мишић трпи,
Ваздух не допире,
Морам се разведрити,
Да достигнем,
 
[рефрен]
И одбацујем
Једну по једну, све своје торбе.
Губим сав пртљаг овог живота.
Немам ништа да носим,
Ништа да вучем.
Ништа.
[/ рефрен]
 
Напредујем сигурним кораком,
Уздижем се ('ascendiendo' на шпанском - вероватно)
И одржавам ритам,
Ја видим, уочавам,
Провалију коју сам напустио,
Последњи напор,
Да стигнем.
 
[рефрен]
 
Путујем лагано,
Могу да дишем
[x2]
 
[рефрен x2]
 
Путујем лагано
Могу да дишем
 

Beauty and the Beast

Look, there is a beast who will soon fall asleep
Every time that you, beautiful as you are, smile at it
A small change, one would say little
Fear and friendship, the beast with the beauty
This is life
It's always the same
Always strange and new
Always as before
Always more certain than the sunrise
That melody, another harmony
True magic will totally change all that you know
Like the sun that rises above
It will take you away with song
Beyond lifetimes
Happiness
 

Who knows if you think about me

Who knows if you think about me
Sitting on the bed
And if you hold tight
your old teddy bear
And speak to him about me ...
And soften the light
But you cannot find peace anymore
And you are asking why ...
 
Who knows if you're looking for me
There under the pillow
If you found me nice
If you want me near there
If you want me there with you ...
And between the sheets
You feel more alone
And you wonder why ...
 
But who knows if it's really true
What are you thinking about me
Or if you're looking for someone else with the thought ...
 
But who knows if in your heart
There is a place for me too
And if yes, do you keep it more hidden ...
Even ore hidden ...
 
Who knows...
If you do not fall asleep
And you nervously bite
Your lips between your teeth
If you think a bit about me ...
And slowly even slowly
Unfreeze your bed
And you wonder why ...
 
But who knows if it's really true
What are you thinking about me
Or if you're looking for someone else with the thought ...
 
But who knows if in your heart
There is a place for me too
And if yes, do you keep it more hidden ...
More hidden ...
 
But who knows if you think of me ...
If you do not fall asleep
And how many sheep you count
One two ... one hundred and twenty ...
And you take them with me ...
Turn the light back on
But you feel happy
And you wonder why ...
