Bobby Darin - Beyond The Sea

Submitted by patho on Sat, 02/11/2013 - 10:05

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing

Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms I'd go sailing

It's far beyond a star
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon

We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing

I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon

We'll meet I know we'll meet
Beyond the shore

Michel Sardou - Les Lacs du Connemara

Submitted by patho on Wed, 02/11/2011 - 08:39

Terre brûlée au vent
Des landes de pierre
Autour des lacs
C'est pour les vivants
Un peu d'enfer
Le Connemara

Des nuages noirs
Qui viennent du nord
Colorent la terre
Les lacs, les rivières
C'est le décor
Du Connemara

Au printemps suivant
Le ciel Irlandais
Etait en paix
Maureen a plongé
Nue dans un lac
Du Connemara

Sean Kelly s'est dit
Je suis catholique
Maureen aussi
L'église en granit
De Limerick
Maureen a dit oui

De Tipperary
Bally-Connelly
Et de Galway
Ils sont arrivés
Dans le comté
Du Connemara

Y'avait les Connor

Duran Duran "Ordinary World"

Submitted by patho on Sat, 18/06/2011 - 16:42

Came in from a rainy Thursday
On the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly

I turned on the lights, the TV
And the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you

What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some are saying
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence
Once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well now pride's gone out the window
Cross the rooftops
Run away

Rod Steward - I am Sailing

Submitted by patho on Thu, 11/11/2010 - 13:32

I am sailing, I am sailing.
home again, 'cross the sea.
I am sailing stormy waters
To be near you, to be free

I am flying, I am flying
Like a bird 'cross the sky
I am flying, passing high clouds
To be with you, to be free

Can you hear me, can you hear me
through the dark night far away
I am dying, forever trying
To be with you, who can say
(x2)

We are sailing, we are sailing
Home again 'cross the sea
We are sailing stormy waters
To be near you, to be free

Cranberries - Zombie

Submitted by patho on Thu, 11/11/2010 - 13:28

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence cause of silence
Who are we mistaken?

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family
In your head, in your head they are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head, they are crying

In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie
Hey, hey, hey
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh, do, do, dou, do, do, dou, do, do
Dou, do, do, dou, dou, do, do, dou

Another mother's breakin'
Heart is taking over

David Bowie - Cat People (Putting Out The Fire)

Submitted by patho on Thu, 11/11/2010 - 13:23

See these eyes so green
I can stare for a thousand years
Colder than the moon
It's been so long
And I've been putting out fire
With gasoline

Feel my blood enraged
It's just the fear of losing you
Don't you know my name
Well, you been so long

See these eyes so red
Red like jungle burning bright
Those who feel me near
Pull the blinds and change their minds
It's been so long

Still this pulsing night
A plague I call a heartbeat
Just be still with me
Ya wouldn't believe what I've been thru
You've been so long
Well it's been so long
And I've been putting out fire

De gedachten zijn vrij

Submitted by patho on Sun, 27/07/2008 - 17:19

Oud Duits lied der vrijzinnigen

De gedachten zijn vrij !
Wie raadt ze daarbinnen ?
Ze dansen voorbij
Als nacht'lijke schimmen,
Geen mens kan ze naken,
Geen jager ze raken,
Laat wezen wat zij:
De gedachten zijn vrij !

Ik denk mij wat ik wil
In heimlijke dromen,
Haar zoetheid laat ik stil
Mijn harte doorstromen,
Mijn wens en begeren
Kan niemand mij weren,
Laat worden wat zij;
De gedachten zijn vrij !

En spert men mij geboeid
In duistere toren;
Hun zorgen en moeite
Gaan alle verloren,
Gedachten als vuren
Doen storten de muren
En de zold'ring erbij !

每个人被迫着发出最后的吼声。
