On a clear day
Rise and look around you
And you'll see who you are
On a clear clear day
How it will astound you
That the glow of your being outshines every star
On a clear clear day
Rise and look around you
And you'll see, you'll see
You'll see who you are
On a clear day, how it will astound you
That the glow of your being outshines every star
You'll feel part of
every mountain, sea and shore
You can hear from far and near
a world you've never heard before
And on that clear day, on that clear clear day
You can see forever, and ever more
You can see forever
Ad lib
You'll feel part of
every mountain
Every stream and every shore
You can hear from far and near
a world you've never heard before
On that clear day
On that clear day
You can see forever and ever
You can see forever and ever
On that clear day - you can see
Ad lib
Oh you can see - forever and ever and ever more

Your lips were like a red and ruby chalice
warmer than the summer night
The clouds were like an alabaster palace
rising to a snowy height
Each star it's own aurora borealis
suddenly you held me tight,
I could see the midnight sun.
I can't explain the silver rain that found me
or was that a moonlit veil?
The music of the universe around me
or was that a nightingale?
And then your arms miraculously found me
suddenly the sky turned pale
I could see the midnight sun.
ooooh
The flame of it may dwindle to an ember
and the stars forget to shine
And we may see the meadow in December
Icy white and crystalline
But oh my darlin' always I'll remember
when your lips were close to mine
And I saw the midnight sun
The midnight sun
I saw the midnight sun
ad lib
oooh.
Was there such a night?
It's a thrill I still don't quite believe,
But after you were gone
there was still some stardust on my sleeve.
oooh
oooh

Because the world is round it turns me on
Because the world is round...aaaaaahhhhhh
Because the wind is high it blows my mind
Because the wind is high...aaaaaaaahhhh
Love is old, love is new
Love is all, love is you
Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry
Because the sky is blue...aaaaaaaahhhh
Because the world is round it turns me on
Because the wind is high
It blows my mind
Because the sky is blue
La da da da da
Ad lib

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something, you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Whether high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try, you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try, I will try
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try, I will try
to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something, you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face and I
I will try
Try to fix you

Dreams unrequited
Soul uninspired
Lost, undecided then
But now
I see
It just had to be
On the edge of real
To feel
This free
This free
You don't have to be afraid to say
That you don't wanna live that way
You can look into your heart and see
What could happen if you felt that free
Dream, dream, dream
What your life will be
What your heart can feel
what your soul can see
Just be
Just be
What you know is true
Can you see it through?
Can you?
Will you?
You don't have to be afraid to say
That you don't wanna live that way (feel that free)
You can look into your heart and see
What could happen if you felt that free (feel that free)
You don't have to be afraid to say
That you don't wanna live that way
You can look into your heart and see
What could happen if you felt that free
You don't have to be afraid to say
That you don't wanna live that way
ooh

Pressure, pushing down on me
Pressing down on you
No one asked for pressure
Burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Oh pressure
Kick my brain round the floor
These are the days it never rains but pours
Under pressure
Insanity laughs
Bend till you break
Under pressure we crash
Pressure
Run from it all
Run as fast as you can
Then go another round
Pressure
Turn me inside out
Swallow a scream
Swallow a shout
Oh pressure
Love's an old fashioned word
Love dares us to care for people on the edge
Pressure
This is our last dance
This is our last chance
This is ourselves
It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends scream "Let me out!"
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Ooh ooh
Ooh
Turn away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it din't work
Keep comin' up with love
But it's so slashed and torn
It's so slashed and torn
Why why?
Pressure, pushing down on me
Pressing down on you
No one asked for pressure
Burns a building down
Turns me inside out
Splits a family in two
Oh this is our last dance
This is our last chance
To give love, give love, give love
Give love, give love, give love
Give love another chance
Just gotta get out
Just gotta get out
Just gotta get right out of here

Moi, si j'étais un homme, je serais capitaine
D'un bateau vert et blanc
D'une élégance rare et plus fort que l'ébène
Pour les trop mauvais temps
Je t'emmènerais en voyage
Dans les plus beaux pays du monde
Te ferais l'amour sur la plage
En savourant chaque seconde
Où mon corps engourdi s'enflamme
Jusqu'à s'endormir dans tes bras
Je suis femme et quand on est femme
On ne dit pas ces choses-là
Je t'offrirais de beaux bijoux
Des fleurs pour ton appartement
Des parfums à vous rendre fou
Et juste à côté de Milan
Dans une ville qu'on appelle Bergame
Je te ferais construire une villa
Je suis femme et quand on est femme
On n'achète pas ces choses-là
Il faut dire que les temps ont changé
De nos jours, c'est chacun pour soi
Ces histoires d'amour démodées
N'arrivent qu'au cinéma
On devient économe
Il faut dire que les temps ont changé
De nos jours, c'est chacun pour soi
Ces histoires d'amour démodées
N'arrivent qu'au cinéma
On devient économe
C'est dommage, moi j'aurais bien aimé
Un peu plus d'humour et de tendresse
Si les hommes n'étaient pas si pressés
De prendre maîtresse
Ah, si j'étais un homme
Je serais romantique

It’s Just Talk

We got lost on the beach that night
Left my shoes somewhere
Don't care
Just follow the sound of the waves
Running away
Running away with all my cares, my worries
Into the sea
Run away
I hit that sand like a cannon
Cannonball - big fall
In paradise
Is it real?
We collide
It's just talk
It's just mountains
That you climb in your mind
You ever know how it ends
Never know where it goes
We went down under candles in the dark
Sweetheart, sparks
Fire in the sky
Light up the night, bright
You and I
Daybreak came and left sunshine
On your face
In place of fireflies
In my heart
Fireflies in your eyes
Wait by the waves
on the way to the rave by the road
Wait for me there my love
I'll take you home
Wait by the waves
on the way to the rave by the road
Wait for me there my love
I'll take you home, home, home
Wait by the waves
on the way to the rave by the road
Ad lib

Feelin’ Groovy

Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feeling groovy
Ba da-da da-da da-da, feeling groovy
Hello lamppost, what'cha knowing
I've come to watch your flowers growin'
Ain't you got no rhymes for me?
Doo-ait-n-doo-doo, feeling groovy
I got no deeds to do, no promises to keep
I got no deeds to do, no promises to keep
I got no deeds to do, feelin' groovy
Ad lib
I got no place to go
I got nowhere to be
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready for sleep
Let the morningtime drop all its petals on me
Ba da ba da ba da dum
Ooooh, everything is groovy
Life, I love you, all is groovy
I got no deeds to do, no promises to keep
I got no deeds to do, no promises to keep
I got no deeds to do, no promises to keep
I got no deeds to do, no promises to keep
Feelin' groovy
Life I love you
Everything is groovy

Hier soir
Je t’ai aperçu Llorona
Au bord du fleuve j’ai entendu tes cris
Hier soir
J’ai senti ta douleur Llorona
Au bord du fleuve je t’ai comprise
Toi, tu as perdu tes enfants Llorona
Ils nagent pour toujours dans le fleuve
Moi, j’ai perdu mes enfants Llorona
Ils marchent loin de moi sur la terre
Llorona
Je comprends
J’entends tes cris
La peine
Est-ce qui n’est pas la peine Llorona
toute est peine pour moi
Mon coeur languit de les voir Llorona
Mais mon coeur se brise que je les vois
Je ressens un chagrin si je pars Llorona
J’en ressens deux si je reste
Pour ne pas ressentir du chagrin Llorona
Ni je pars, ni je reste
Llorona
Llorona
Llorona
Llorona
Je comprends
J’entends tes cris
Je fais un deuil aussi grand Llorona
Que je pourrais presque dire
Que moi, je ne fais pas le deuil Llorona
C’est le deuil qui me fait
Ne crois pas que parce que je chante Llorona
Que j’ai le coeur joyeux
De douleur aussi on chante aaaay Llorona
Quand pleurer est impossible
Llorona, Llorona Llorona Llorona
Llorona

Funny day, looking for laughter and finding it there
Sunny day, braiding wild flowers and leaves in my hair
Picked up a pencil and wrote, "I love you, " in my finest hand
Wanted to send it, but I don't know where I stand
Telephone, even the sound of your voice is still new
All alone in California and talking to you
And feeling too foolish and strange
To say the words that I had planned
I guess it's too early, 'cause I don't know where I stand
Crickets call, courting their ladies in star-dappled green
Thickets tall, until the morning comes up like a dream
All muted and misty, so drowsy now, I'll take what sleep I can
I know that I miss you,
I know that I miss you
Oh I miss you, I miss you, I miss you
but I don't know
I don't know
where I stand

Sweet Thing

I will stroll the merry way and jump the hedges first
And I will drink the clear clean water, just to quench my thirst
And I will watch the ferry boats and they'll get high
On a bluer ocean against tomorrow sky
And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain
And I will never ever grow so old again
Oh oh sweet thing, my sweet thing
Oh my sweet sweet thing
And I will drive my chariot down your streets and cry
Hey, it's me I'm dynamite and I don't know why
You will take me strongly in your arms again, again, again, again
and I will not remember that I even felt the pain
And I will walk and talk in gardens all misty and wet with rain
And I will never ever, never ever never ever
never ever grow so old again
Oohh-oh, oh sweet thing, sweet thing
Hu-ohh, my, my, my, my, my sweet thing
Ad lib
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my-oh, sweet thingggg
Ha-oh, my sweet sweet thing
Ha-oh, oo-do, my, my, my, my sweet thing
Ha-oh, oo-oo, my sweet thing

Mineiro de Coracao
lentement
me chercher
me trouver
Je reste cachée
MIneiro de Coracao
doucement
devoile mes secrets
laisse les respirer
Avant mes pensées
Avant mon réveil
défaire l'étau si serré
Déposer les armes
te donner mon coeur
Tel un bijou deterré
MIneiro de Coracao
il peut être
je crois qu'il peut l'être
mais seulement pour moi
Mineiro de Coracao
clairement
la vérité n'est plus cachée
tu me voit
une vue si belle
l'aveuglait mes yeux
ma peau est embrassée par l'air
juste à tes cotés
tout est lumineux
et comme des cascades d'eau clair
Balayant la poussière
Me tourner plus dans tes mains
Mes défauts mes cicatrices
Amoureusement caressé
Tu m'a trouvé
Mineiro de Coracao
bravement
me chercher
me trouver
mon coeur t'appartient
MIneiro de Coracao
gentiment
devoile mes secrets
pour toi je reviens
MIneiro de Coracao
il peut être
je sais qu'il peut l'être
et maintenant c'est nous
Mineiro de Coracao
tout d'un coup
la vérité n'est plus cachée
c'est a nous
Défaire l'étau si serré
Juste comme un bijou deterré
La bonté et la volonté
Le rythme revient a mon coeur
