Divine TV Führer

My TV Führer
I'm going under! I'm gonna drown! Glu-Glu!
My faithful ghost is about to sink me, Boo boo!
If the major employee doesn't protect me
(who the TV projects all the time)
I'll be promoted for Christmas
How we didn't think of it?
 
I'll exaggerate, my fever isn't that high
This is the worst date (it's a blind date)
We're gonna bomb the planet
(So it won't disturb us anymore)
I'll be promoted for Christmas
How we didn't think of it?
 
Won't you wait until your friend gets frozen?
If you already know the new way
Divine TV Führer, my love!
(Wherever I go, Eveready will be there)
I'll be promoted for Christmas
How we didn't think of it?

La musica

Every word of yours is music to me
Sun above me is music to me
 
La musica
Is the wind in your pretty hair
La musica
Is a lovely day
Is a bell stroke
If the wind likes you, if we are happy
La musica
Is the moonlight that kisses you in your sleep
La musica
Is an evening together
Is the light of the stars
Are the reveries
When you are with me
 
Every look of yours is music to me
Rain next to me is music to me
 
La musica
Is the wind in your pretty hair
La musica
Is a lovely day
Is a bell stroke
If the wind likes you, if we are happy
La musica
Is the moonlight that kisses you in your sleep
La musica
Is an evening together
Is the light of the stars
Are the reveries
When you are with me

I have spent a lot of time

I have burnt my wings,
Gliding too much
And I set fire to the sky.
 
I took a wrong love,
Speaking too much,
Breaking pearl collars.
 
One day, I have been fading
For a drop of water
In a crystal vase.
 
And I am drowning like a madman,
Carried away by the words
From the bottom of your spiral.
 
And I spent a lot of time
And I took plenty of time
Before I understood
Books are wright:
People who go away
Aren't for sale.
 
And I spent a lot of time
And I took plenty of time
Before I understood
Books are wright:
People who go away
Aren't for sale.
 
I spent a lot of time,
 
I looked for you too far away,
On the wrong ways
Wanting to find you again.
 
I have slept many mornings
Sliding for nothing
My hand below your pillow.
 
One day, I drowned
Until being crazy,
In the middle of prayers.
 
And I read until the end
Pages full of dust
To find the light.
 
And I spent a lot of time
And I took plenty of time
Before I understood
Books are wright:
People who go away
Aren't for sale.
 
And I spent a lot of time
And I took plenty of time
Before I understood
Books are wright:
People who go away
Aren't for sale.
 
And I spent a lot of time,
 
And I spent a lot of time,
And I spent a lot of time,
And I spent a lot of time...

Pogo

Drawn back and stalking
ready to jump to my neck
those jokes fall from their pockets
while they dance the killer clown pogo
 
They dance the killer clown pogo!
They dance the killer clown pogo!
 
They're prettier than wiser
they're sex monkeys
they eat from the happy meal
and dance the killer clown pogo.
 
They dance the killer clown pogo!
They dance the killer clown pogo!
 
And there are the Ushuaia girls
who are princesses of cold
tamed hearts
who go to the ways.
 
They dance the killer clown pogo!
They dance the killer clown pogo!
 
They crash and bounce
bashed by the 'fuzz'
they go drunk as a skunk
and dance the killer clown pogo
 
They dance the killer clown pogo!
They dance the killer clown pogo!
 
They think that by fooling little guys
they can fool a cheap god
Oh! those pretty girls pamper us
while they dance the killer clown pogo
 
They dance the killer clown pogo!
They dance the killer clown pogo!

Дани

Дани,
Дани који пролазе
 
Видим торањ
И спирални пут ка врху
И залазак сунца
док дубоко жалим
као феникс који сагорева у свом пламену
 
И време стаје
Гужва је и превоз успорава
А моје срце почиње
да куца мрачно
кроз старо месо и хладне кости
 
И чезнем да ме нешто понесе
да ме само једном снажно повуче на горе
Изван усамљености
и празнине
Дана
Дана
Који пролазе
Дани
 
Сећам се да смо се једном волели
и да ми је та љубав обузела тело
А током нашег првог плеса
сам случајно помислио
да ми је Бог нашао сродну душу
Али је време наставило свој пут
своју удаљеност и усамљеност
И на том путу
Правећи себи штету
Своју љубав сам однео далеко, далеко од тебе
 
Али зар и ти
не чезнеш да те нешто понесе
Ја бих могао још једном да те повучем снажно на горе
Изван усамљености
И празнине
Дана
Дана који пролазе
Дана који пролазе
Дана..
 
Реци ми,
Јесмо ли отишли предалеко?
Или смо се превише приближили?
Ти немаш оца,
ја немам сина,
Али када нам тела нестану
Обећавам ти да ћемо се срести
Да ћемо се срести
На крају дана
Дана
 
Дана који пролазе
 
Хоћеш ли се срести са мном на крају дана?

Only you

Have I done well
By going to you
And allowing you
To kiss me agan, kiss me again
 
You who cheated me
You who lied to me
 
You explained to me
Said that right on time
Now my regret is sincere
Can I believe, what you can promise
 
I ask you the question
I call you today
I like you so much
However it may be, close to me
 
What you mean by you
And I very quickly
I can go again without woman
I can believe you, what you can promise
 
I can't live without you
Because I admire you
I'm very loyal
I can go without, what you can believe
 
I ask you the question
I call you today
I like you so much
However it may be, close to me
 
I can't live without you
Because I admire you
I'm very loyal
You can kiss me, you can kiss me
 
You

You Will See

With great sacrifice I let you go,
my eyes bleeding from crying so much,
two years of waiting seemed like a thousand,
but when you come back, no, you are not leaving.
 
You sill see how I am going to love you,
You will see how I am going to kiss you,
You will see how with my trills,
I will make you so happy.
 
You will see how I am going to love you,
with the craziest and most heartfelt passion,
come back, by God I am dying
just for you.
 
You will see how I am going to love you,
You will see how I am going to kiss you,
You will see how with my trills,

You will see how I am going to love you,
With the craziest and most heartfelt passion,
Come back, by God I am dying
just for you,
just for you,
just for you.

A Madrigal

How beautiful is the morning sun
On returning from the capital.
Oh, how pretty my Susana looks
When she is running through the wheatfield.
 
You can see the hill and the bridge now
And my dog comes to meet me,
The plow is left waiting
Because the oxen don't want to work.
 
The smoke from my little shack
Has spread all over the wheatfield
And in back you can see the little brook
That usually lulls me every afternoon.

Stop smiling

Stop smiling.
When you smile we see
just how stupid you are
to believe that humanity is good
and that you believe that life
is sometimes long.
 
Stop smiling.
We all have secrets
hidden within.
Unfulfilled dreams which
drive us mad.
Regrets which resurface
and sully our cheeks.
 
You didn't choose your mother.
You didn't choose your father.
You couldn't even choose
the face you were given.
You didn't choose your name and even if you're going around in circles
you're still laughing.
 
You say that you love life,
you even thank life
when it sends you lemons.
You say it's for the best.
You believe that we're here
on this beautiful earth
because we must
learn to be happy.
 
Stop smiling.
When I see you, you
almost make me want to believe.
Almost make me want to try to see in the dark.
Me, who so rarely takes
solace in love and hope.
 
Stop smiling.
I'm the one who doubts everything in spite of himself,
who washes away their sins
at night in the rain,
he who is drowning, alone in a sea of denial.
 
You didn't choose your mother.
You didn't choose your father.
You couldn't even choose
the face you were given.
You didn't choose your name and even if you're going around in circles
you're still laughing.
 
You say that you love life,
you even thank life
when it sends you lemons.
You say it's for the best.
You believe that we're here
on this beautiful earth
because we must
learn to be happy.
 
Stop smiling
because I think you're making me a jealous man.
I don't know how you stay on your feet
while I'm crawling on my knees tonight.
 
Stop smiling.
With your big eyes which
grab life between their teeth.
I too want to look towards infinity
without the impression that I'm living on credit.
 
You didn't choose your mother.
You didn't choose your father.
You couldn't even choose
the face you were given.
You didn't choose your name and even if you're going around in circles
you're still laughing.
 
You say that you love life,
you even thank life
when it sends you lemons.
You say it's for the best.
You believe that we're here
on this beautiful earth
because we must
learn to be happy.
 
You didn't choose your mother.
You didn't choose your father.
You couldn't even choose
the face you were given.
You didn't choose your name and even if you're going around in circles
you're still laughing.
 
Yeah, keep laughing.
Yeah, keep laughing,
laughing.
Go on, do it again
laugh.
 
Stop smiling.

The Heart of a Fighter

Woke up in the middle of it all, and I felt cold
Hell has frozen over, is it snowing outside already?
I am counting the snowflakes on the window,
They called your name,
I will destroy them with my breath.
I trade my freedom for desire,
Answers for questions,
Or do I already have the answers?
 
I give up, I am lost
And I thought I had the heart of a fighter.
I cannot lie anymore, I cannot think anymore
And I thought I had the heart of a fighter.
 
Let it go, let it happen
I have to stop now, have to stop seeing you
I don't care, call me weak
If I have the heart of a fighter,
I will lose it for us, for both of us
 
Ran away far too often, turned around halfway
Came too close to heaven and fell down anyway
I throw my laughter all around me
Try to meet you
Unfortunately, the one I meet in the end is me.
I trade the end for the beginning
Sad for courageous,
Because I have already been sad.
 
I give up, I am lost
And I thought I had the heart of a fighter.
I cannot lie anymore, I cannot think anymore
And I thought I had the heart of a fighter.
 
Let it go, let it happen
I have to stop now, have to stop seeing you
I don't care, call me weak
If I have the heart of a fighter,
I will lose it for us, for both of us.
 
I give up, I am lost
And I thought I had the heart of a fighter.
Let it go, let it happen
I have to stop now, have to stop seeing you
I don't care, call me weak
If I have the heart of a fighter,
I will lose it for us, for both of us.
For us, for both of us... (3x)

Where are you?

AFP news, a phone call, you must leave
Quick, a camera bag, your objectives, what are you writing about
In this slumbering street, I hug you tightly, looking out for you
I know that you are not afraid but me, I’m a little cold
 
Your plane is still flying towards such a war, towards such a fight
Once again the children will ask where you’re going
Once again I’ll respond, that without their mother, no one will know
And for all this time, only your pictures speak of you
 
Where are you? Can you hear me?
 
Ten days you’ve been away and your messages are becoming rare
On the radio, they said the rebels are seizing power
This morning, at school, the children heard the story
Me, I’m dying of not feeling your skin when night falls
 
In front of the TV, I know the price of each image
So afraid to see your name one day on the front page
I hear you running in the rain of fire and hell
I send you what I can, all our smiles in your wastelands
 
Where are you? Can you hear me?
 
AFP news, at this time of night, you’re not coming home
A kidnapped journalist, that’s what all the channels are talking about
Almost everywhere your picture with the inscription “You will not be forgotten”
The children look at me, saying nothing, we will wait for you (we will wait for you)
 
Where are you? Can you hear me?
 
You told me that on certain nights you would go to sleep crying
That the windows of the world shut on you, whispering
I tell you that you have to keep in mind that everyone hear follows your story
I hang on to the smiles which sweep over me in the corridors
I (will) see you running on the tarmac tomorrow perhaps
I hear you coming I hug you already in my dreams

Had no time

Had no time to watch my life passing
Even had no time to understand where my twenties departed.
Had no time to say goodbye to a friend, had not time
Had no time to prepare my bagage well
for being ready to look at the marks that time leaves on my face as it goes by. Had no time.
It is too coward, it goes too fast
The time passes and rushes me to be a man that I am not yet ready to recognize
It is too coward, it passes too fast
The time passes and rushes me to be a man that I do not want to say he is maybe me.
I had no time to learn how to love
And remebering all the skins that I have touched
Had no time to know if there are hearts that I have broken. Had no time
Had no time to walk around my neighbourhood
It was always further than where I wanted to go
Had no time to see what I could have missed, had no time
It is too coward, it goes too fast
The time passes and rushes me to be a man that I am not yet ready to recognize
It is too coward, it passes too fast
The time passes and rushes me to be a man that I do not want to say he is maybe me.
With time we will never come back
We can only regret what we should have done
Me, I would do it again if there was a redo
Yes!would do again if there was a redo
It gives you and takes from you in its every seconds
In order to be able to live a minute
You must give it back in advance
But the time passes
But the more it goes, the more I love it
The time that plays and takes me day after day to a dance that every step is a chance
And the more it goes, the more I love it
The time that passes and coaches me to become the one that I wanted to be with a head full of dreams.
It is too coward, it passes too fast
Time passes and rushes me to be a man that I am not yet ready to recognize
It gives you and takes from you in its every seconds
In order to be able to live a minute
You must give it back in advance

I Know

I know the false friends
I know time is passing
I know days of boredom
When I cry before the mirror
 
I know the wind blows
I know the lights' gold
I know the coldness of graves
In winter mornings
 
I know all this and so
I know nothing all the same
Of you, who holds my life
Who touches me and loves me
Who touches me and loves me
 
I know school classes
I know grey mornings
I know how to say the lines
That others have written
 
I know to cry softly
I know the words of love
I know the sound of steps
That come in the early morning
 
I know all this and more
But I know nothing all the same
Of you, who brightens my nights
Who holds me and loves me
Who holds me and loves me
 
I know humility
The feeling of pride
I know how to have been
And I know how to stay alone
 
I know who talks about me
I know the weight of words
I know to pluck out a star
When it shines behind my back
 
I know all that, too bad
But I know nothing all the same
Of you, who chose me
Who protects me and who loves me
Who protects me and who loves me

All-Out

I'd hang myself for you
I'd leap from a high building
I'd shoot myself for you
Dowse myself with gasoline
But I won't give you any guarantees
If you love me, it must be exclusive
Come on and hold me tight, I want to feel you
All-out
 
Do you believe in your mother
When she relies on good butter
And do you believe in your father
Who spent his life saving money
No, nobody would give you any guarantees
Not even an almighty Lord would, unfortunately
When you live, you are alone
All-out
 
My darling, come on
Let's get away from here
And don't ask me for a reason
I love you without thinking
I love you, allow it to happen
 
I never believed in love
Which would always stay love
And I never believed in craving
Which would break my damn old heart
No, nobody would give me any guarantees
And a girl should not be crying
But I enjoy my tears
All-out
 
My darling, come on
Let's get away from here
And don't ask me for a reason
I love you without thinking
I love you, allow it to happen
 
Maybe we could be victorious
And achieve heaven before hand
Yes, maybe we could be victorious
Living a life without lies
Nobody would give us any guarantees, though
Not even an almighty Lord would, unfortunately
Come on and hold me tight, I wanna feel you
All-out
 
My darling, come on
Let's get away from here
And don't ask me for a reason
I love you without thinking
I love you, allow it to happen

Under Our Skin

[P. Kaas:]
Just two drops in the great ocean
Two lava sparks in a volcano
They soar up to the sky and drop back down again
Now you give me what I once gave you
And sometimes we touch the stars
Come on, let's take another chance
 
Under our skin the river of life is flowing
Death and love, nothing is in vain
 
Under our skin we all are equal
Living without a mask, strong and rich
 
[Aki:]
We are just visitors to planet earth's orbit
We are kings or paupers
I see the lillies in my hand
The trace of time is engraved
 
[Duet:]
Yes, sometimes we touch the stars
Come on, let's take another chance
 
Under our skin the river of life is flowing
Death and love, nothing is in vain
 
Under our skin we all are equal
And live without a mask
And live without a mask
Live without a mask
Strong and rich
 
Under our skin we all are equal
And live without a mask
And live without a mask
Live without a mask
 
Under our skin the river of life is flowing
Death and love, nothing is in vain
Under our skin we all are equal
And live without a mask
Live without a mask
Strong and rich

Send in the clowns

Should we laugh about it?
Sublime moment:
You, finally taking your flight
And me resting
Where are the clowns?
 
Can we believe it?
Look at us:
One frolicking far above the ground
The other at his knees
The clowns are missing
Where are the clowns?
 
All my demons
Finally tamed
Now sure that you yourself will end up telling the story
I enter the stage again dressed for the gala
Sure of my role:
You're not there
 
Nothing but a farce
A bit bitter
I thought my dream would be your dream
Pardon, dear
We'd need the clowns
But where are the clowns?
They're here, it's clear
 
Should we laugh about it?
I should!
Dying of stage fright so late in my career
And where are the clowns
When will the clowns arrive?
 
Dying of stage fright so late in my career
And where are the clowns
When will the clowns arrive?
Soon, I hope

Mrs. Everyone

Insolent, rebellious, endearing, liberated
Dabbler, benevolent, sharp, cleansed
Iconic, discrete, courageous, travelling
Hypnotic, amorous, single and swinging
Free and strong, mother or whore
Generous, a fairy, in the evening and in the morning
 
Mrs. Everyone, doesn't need anyone
Mrs. Everyone, daugher of Eve or Amazonian
Mrs. Everyone, doesn't need anyone
Neither first, nor second, instead she said to herself
A woman, that madonna
 
Authentic, a tease, moving, obsessed
Obsessive, savage, powerful, exhausted
Fiery, docile, provocative, on fire
Faithful, no fool, funny, engaging
Free and strong, mother or whore
Generous, a fairy, in the evening and in the morning
 
Mrs. Everyone, doesn't need anyone
Mrs. Everyone, daugher of Eve or Amazonian
Mrs. Everyone, doesn't need anyone
Neither first, nor second, instead she said to herself
A woman, that madonna
 
She is you, she is me
She counts on our voices to change the game
 
Mrs. Everyone, doesn't need anyone
Mrs. Everyone, daugher of Eve or Amazonian
Mrs. Everyone, doesn't need anyone
Neither first, nor second, instead she said to herself
A woman, that madonna

Ona je kao vetar

Versions: #2
Ona je kao vetar kroz moje drvo
Ona se vozi kroz noć pored mene
Dovodi me do meseca
Samo da bi me opekla Suncem
Uzela je moje srce
Ali ne zna sta je uradila
 
Osecam njen dah na mom licu
Njeno telo blizu mene
Ne mogu je pogledati u lice
Ona je izvan moje lige
Ja sam samo budala koja veruje
Da imam sve sto joj treba
Ona je kao vetar
 
Pogledam u ogledalo i sve sto vidim
Je mladic samo sa snom
Da li samo sebe foliram
Da ce ona zaustaviti bol
Ziveci bez nje
Poludecu
 
Osecam njen dah na mom licu
Njeno telo blizu mene
Ne mogu je pogledati u lice
Ona je izvan moje lige
Ja sam samo budala koja veruje
Da imam sve sto joj treba
Ona je kao vetar

You

You
Are you here tonight ? A cab, I'm getting off
The door creaks a bit, I step forward in the dark
Three piano notes, I'm smiling at the mirror
You,
 
You are here, it's time, like the very first time
When I was immortal, when evereything made me laugh
And when, alone beneath the moon I screamed against the wolves
You,
Even without knowing you I was walking toward you
 
You took me single-handedly
One day terrible child, one day lost child
I won the right to be myself step by step
The right to be free, for a look from you
 
When the wind that makes oaks fall down came
I saw time bleeding, the jealous birds laughing
When they picked on you to crush me
 
You,
You were already here when I broke my voice*
When I drank my tears at the bottom of the last glasses
Those nights when I dried my anger in your eyes
You,
 
You think I don't know about your smile over there
 
You took me single-handedly
One day terrible child, one day lost child
I won the right to be myself step by step
The right to be here when I walk toward you
 
The round dance goes on
The round dance goes on and you stayed
Always at the end of the day, behind the red curtain
The adventure goes on and we won
The right to make the dream dance in a velvet dress
 
And I sing for you
You know everything about me, everything we're not telling each other
Your lips barely move, we lack light
But black unites us and from here I see you
 
Me,
I find my laugh back, I find my life back
In your waving hands when I repeat these words
Tonight it's eight o'clock, we have a date
And the curtain rises... today I'm fifteen
When I give myself to you...
 
When I give myself to you...
When I give myself to you.

Regrets

Even if there are regrets
Mistakes, bitter tastes and secrets
Everything we had, that still rocks us
The memory of the highlights
 
Time goes by, time quickens
I'm used to your caresses 1
To your smile and your body
I may have regrets but never remorse
I may have regrets but never remorse
 
Excuses are of no use
You can't live in the yesterday when it's already tomorrow
What people say doesn't matter
What I did remains, and it's good like that
 
You lend me, you give me
The strength and the wisdom to not want anyone
I have the courage to want to forgive
I would never have remorse, just regrets
I would never have remorse, just regrets
 
If there is nothing left of the dreams
That I have foreseen for tomorrow
I would still make the effort
To only have regrets and never remorse
 
  • 1. Literally 'I'm used to passing a little of your caresses' which doesn't translate very literally into English.

You are not alone

Today I want to go out, it’s night, I cannot sleep
I gotta call you – what are friends for?
Not once have you stopped listening
Today I want to thank you, nothing more
Hey1, you are not alone
Hey, you are loved
Hey, can you hear me?
I am singing, singing
 
What are you going to think?
Oh, what an hour to be calling
You can change
If you want to, I’ll come by to pick you up
 
Now my city passes by behind the crystal2
One more stoplight to go
I am listening to the radio, I am listening to the radio
There is your main entrance, I am giving you a signal
You are already there
 
Yes, you are there, like always, with no questions asked
The smile like another gesture – what are friends for?
Yes, you are there, and that is what matters to me
Once more you’ll tell me: what are friends for?
 
Hey, you are not alone
Hey, you are loved
Hey, can you hear me?
I am singing, singing
 
Now my city passes by behind the crystal
One more stoplight to go
I am listening to the radio, I am listening to the radio
 
Hey, you are not alone
Hey, you are loved
Hey, can you hear me?
I am singing, singing
I am singing, singing

The more I think of you

Versions: #4
For all the quiet days when I listen to the falling rain
Et the chilly mornings that make me miss our nights
For all those differences that creates indifference, since,
For all the hours spent watching boredom swirl
 
And the hidden treasures burried lifeless forever
For all those memories bored tyo death, and,
The more I think of you and even more do I realise
That the time that goes by won't heal me
Nothing replaces you, I miss you, I'm dying without you
And I realise that space misses you
 
To hide my mistakes that I commit by heart, and if,
For happiness, I traded suffering quietly
For those sleeps that dance, as rewards flown away
As the blue of nuances becomes grey with suffering, too.
 
For the purple suns that you used to hide, bruised
And the awkward laughs that hung you back up to life
The more I think of you even more do I realise
That the time that goes by won't heal me
 
Nothing replaces you, I miss you, I'm diying without you
And I realise that space misses you
Let me breathe, just one more hour
That withered flower, as foe death took away the love of a lifetime
 
The more I think of you even more do I realise
That the time that goes by won't heal me
Nothing replaces you, I miss you, I'm diying without you
And I realise that space misses you
 
Let me breathe, just one more hour
That withered flower, as foe death took away the love of a lifetime
For all the quiet days when I listen to the falling rain
And God's mornings, I miss you every night.

How are you?

Versions: #2
Refrain :
 
How are you?
 
Like this, like this, like this, like that.
 
With a little more bit of love
 
It will get better ,it will forever
 
Get out of the window,
Go and dance tonight
Put your heart in party
start a story.
 
If you need tenderness
There's always someone, somewhere
who will make you get back your caresses,
But you should give to receive
 
{Refrain}
 
Don't exhaust yourself
in searching so far away
Happiness is here ,
exists in your hand
 
Look better around you
there's lots of people that are similar to you
One more ,one more that makes you
We will get there together
 
I'm a doctor in good mood
A song ,it's used to do it
I will mend your heart
If you come sing with me
 
Woh oh oh oh
Yeah he he he
La la la la la
La la la la la
I'm good
Everything is good
I'm in love !
 
Refrain x 3

Adèle

Let's go for a walk Adèle
I'll tell you what women
Have lived since I was a girl
Have lived since I was a lady
 
Let's go for a walk my dear
I'll give you several keys
I'll try to be very precise
Oh how I could have been like you
 
Let's go for a walk my dear
I know how to console you
To show you that I've understood
Oh how I could have been like you
 
It'll be twice as hard as the others
But two times stronger you'll be, don't worry
For support you'll have only yourself
But it'll be enough, it'll be enough
 
It'll be twice as hard as the others
But two times stronger you will be, don't worry
The only support you'll have will be ours
But it'll be enough, it'll be enough
 
It'll be twice as hard as the others
But two times stronger you will be, don't worry
The only support you'll have will be ours
But it'll be enough, it'll be enough
 
Let's go for a walk Adèle
You just have to accept
That it's simpler for him than for her
But to hell with simplicity
 
Let's go for a walk my dear
Let's run and with our swords in hand
Let's go and prove wrong the ones who say
'Adèle that's how it is and we can't help it'
They can help it, they certainly can
 
It'll be twice as hard as the others
But two times stronger you will be, don't worry
The only support you'll have will be ours
But it'll be enough, it'll be enough
 
It'll be twice as hard as the others
But two times stronger you will be, don't worry
The only support you'll have will be ours
But it'll be enough, it'll be enough
 
It'll be twice as hard as the others
But two times stronger you will be, don't worry
The only support you'll have will be ours
But it'll be enough, it'll be enough

Tell Me About Germany

Versions: #2
So long to you, Lili Marlene!
I’ll take red roses of the Gottingen
With me to travel across the wall
To other Germany I used to know
 
In Germany the doves made vultures fly away
Hard Rock will break the silence of on rainy day
In Germany my childhood memories are strong
This is the place where I belong -
By Leninplatz and Anatole France...
 
In Germany the history’s insults are mixed with shame
The future holds for adventure and the fame
In Germany I know forbidden taste of love
The guns are put to rest and a dove
Is reigning peacefully above
 
So long to you, Lili Marlene!
I’ll take red roses of the Gottingen
With me to travel across the wall
To other Germany I used to know
Which side of the Berlin wall seems to you commonplace?
 
In Germany sincere love is in the air
I reverie with epic songs by Apollinaire
In Germany romantic notes are ringing strong
The violins play all day long
The simple waltzes of Vienne
 
So long to you, Lili Marlene!
I’ll take red roses of the Gottingen
With me to travel across the wall
To other Germany I used to know
Which side of the Berlin wall seems to you commonplace?
 
Ich habe eine kleine Wildblume
Eine Flamme die zwischen den Wolken bluht

D'Allemagne j'ai une petite fleur dans le cœur
Qui est comme l'idée du bonheur
Et qui va grandir comme un arbre.
 
Auf wiedersehen Lili Marlene...

If we sang louder

If we sang louder
And even stronger
If our voices, our chords
Changed the decor
 
On the borders, nice tunes
Our religions, and unisons
Flags at half-staff, pianissimo
To the battlefields, the ballroom songs
 
If we sang louder
And even stronger
If our voices, our chords
Changed our decors
 
Sweet violences, in harmony with dances
To our guitars, the prerogative
If we were still singing
Instead of drums
The songs of the troubadours
Stronger than speeches
 
If we sang louder
Oh even stronger
That our voices, our chords
Explode the decor
 
Prison bars, to violin
To the camisoles, to treble clef
Explode the decor
 
If our voices were enough
If the songs could...
If the songs could...

Human land

Our land, human land
Next to the sea
So close and so far
When she seems
 
Of the oldest time
Under the blue altar
You stay
 
My insular heart
Always melts for you
My dreams sing
Always by thinking of you
 
Stay to listen the prayers
Who called the spring
For the land whom you were
Land
 
Our land, human land
Next to the sea
 
One who stay like that mysteriously
Stay to listen the prayers
Who called the spring
For the land whom you were
Land

But still

It's not easy
To begin
I know all the islands
Are already occupied
 
Open your eyes
Open your heart
You won't find a better
Secret to happiness
 
Even though the paths to glory are not paved with satin
The paths to hope are not paved with gold, but still
Sing the hymn to the sun, write it in your life, your poem
You're stronger than you think, don't let hatred eat up your happiness
 
Come on
You know I only want to help you
Make a blue hole amongst your ideas
I have no ambitions
But welcome into my house
Give me your hand
 
You're Jesus in a road, you have nothing but your Christian name
You love what you hate, you're lost, you don't love those who love you
You know nothing about life, you know nothing about love, but still
Come on
Take my hand
Come on
Take my hand
Take my hand
 
Even though the paths to glory are not paved with satin
The paths to hope are not paved with gold, but still
Sing the hymn to the sun, write it in your life, your poem
Come on
Take my hand

Promise

There are those that we lay down here
To comfort ourselves
They are the very ones we'll forget
There are the ones we don't mean
On casual evenings
But there are also these ones
 
The promise of a life
Of a father to his sons
Of the sun to the rain
The promise of a life
The promise to stay in the cold, in the night
A promise for life
To those we love
To our mothers, our daughters
A promise for life
The promise to stay
 
There's all I dare not say
Everything I hide in my songs
There is the better and the worse
In all these dumb promises
There are my doubts, my certainties
And of course everything that eludes me
There's my singing and my silence
In what I can't hold in any more
 
If I should make a promise
Then let it be this one
To be the shoulder, the helping hand
But above all, stay
Not stray from the straight and arrow
[Be] the light in the night
For those who love me
The promise of a life
 
(chorus)
 
To everyone we love
The one and only promise to make is
To everyone we love
The promise to stay
 
There's all we dare not say
And there's the better and the worse
There are all our certainties
And all of our silence
 
The promise of a life
Of a father to his sons
Of the sun to the rain
The promise of a life
The promise to stay

Anne and Louise

Anne and Louise, Anne and Louise
It's just a story and that's it
Whatever we read, secret of adolescence
They disguise, united as a chance
 
Take care of us
Take care of everything
Words that resonate beyond
And all they do not know
Take care of that
 
Anne and Louise, rebellious beauties
There are so many stories long before you
Spread the word, love is without barriers
Promised Land against all odds
 
Refrain
 
Tirelessly enduring
Growing up and defying the people's dull blows
Suffering, but... it's golden, it's golden
Take care of us
Take care of everything
 
Words that are only half spoken
Glances a bit too hidden
Take care of us
 
Anne and Louise, Anne and Louise
It's just a story and that's it

Manon

She sings, and me, I shout
She laughs, and me, I cry
She dreams, and me, I pray
She dances, and me, I die
 
I'm dying, and I am happy
My Sunday, it's Manon
Her sun, it's my spring
But Manon tells me no
 
Manon, she's water
But me, I love it
I am dying of thirst near the fountain
Love, Manon, opened my veins
All the water from the sky falls into my eyes
'I love you, I love you,'
Murmur the blue springs
 
I am but a peasant
A poor beekeeper
A seeker of bad weather
A harvester of wonders
 
But me, I will go like a dog
I will walk in your footsteps
Winter, when you will not be well
I will sleep by you
 
My fortune, my name
For the love of Manon

I'm Going to Get Married, Marie

My friends, my dear friends, I gathered you all here
We're going to drown ourselves in champagne and whiskey
Go like a spinning top
We're going to laugh all night long
And then, tomorrow morning, I'll go to the town hall
Go like a spinning top, go like a spinning top
 
I'm going to get married, Marie
And I'm going to leave you, Sophie, Marianne and Virginie
Oh, don't you cry, Marie
Not any more than you'll do, Véronica and Rebecca
I renounce your caresses, your love, my sweet life
 
I'm going to get married, Robert
And I'm going to leave you, you, Frédeéric and you, Didier
Don't you make fun of me, Luc
Not any more than you'll do, Napoléon, nor you, Colas
 
I renounce our feats, our crazy nights
And our youth that finishes today
Because I'm going to get married
 
Tomorrow will be a good time to think about my life
To make children, to spend my savings
Go like a spinning top
 
Tomorrow, I'll be locked in, you won't see me again
Let's drink to my health and my lost freedom
Long live marriage, long live marriage
 
I'm going to get married, Marie
And I'm going to leave you, Sophie, Marianne and Virginie
Oh, don't you cry, Marie
Not any more than you'll do, Véronica and Rebecca
I renounce your caresses, your love, my sweet life
 
I'm going to get married, Robert
And I'm going to leave you, you, Frédeéric and you, Didier
Don't you make fun of me, Luc
Not any more than you'll do, Napoléon, nor you, Colas
 
We must remember it until the end of our lives
And we'll remain friends, no matter what's going to happen
Even if I get married
