I’m Calling You – Bagdad Café – Jeff Buckley

Posted by Rachel on 22nd November 2010 in Lyrics

A desert road from vegas to nowhere
some place better tham where you’re been
A coffee machine that needs some fixing
In a little cafe just around the bend
I am calling you
Can’t you hear me
I am calling you
A hot dry wind blows right through me
The baby’s crying and I can’t sleep
But we both know a change is coming
coming closer, sweet release
I am calling you
Can’t you hear me
I am calling you
I am calling you
Can’t you hear me
I am calling you
A desert road from vegas to nowhere
Some place better than where you’ve been
A coffee machine that needs some fixing
In a little cafe just around the bend
A hot dry winblows right through me
The baby’s crying and I can’t sleep
But we both know a change is coming
coming closer, sweet release
I am calling you
can’t you hear me
I am calling you

James Blunt – Goodbye My Lover

Posted by Rachel on 13th October 2010 in Lyrics


Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
‘Cause I saw the end before we’d begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what’s mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won’t stop there,
I am here for you if you’d only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I’ve kissed your lips and held your hand.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I’ve been addicted to you.

Chorus (2x)
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer and when I wake,
You can’t break my spirit – it’s my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I’ve seen you cry, I’ve seen you smile.
I’ve watched you sleeping for a while.
I’d be the father of your child.
I’d spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We’ve had our doubts but now we’re fine,
And I love you, I swear that’s true.
I cannot live without you.

Chorus (2x)
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I’m asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I’m kneeling at your feet.

Chorus (2x)
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I’m so hollow, baby, I’m so hollow.
I’m so, I’m so, I’m so hollow.

Sting – Shape of my Heart

Posted by Rachel on 16th September 2010 in Lyrics, Music Legend


He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn’t play for the money he wins
He doesn’t play for respect
He deals the crads to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden loaw of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that’s not the shape of my heart

He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that’s not the shape of my heart

And if I told you that I loved you
You’d maybe think there’s something wrong
I’m not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that’s not the shape of my heart

Diana Ross – When You Tell Me That You Love Me

Posted by Rachel on 29th July 2010 in Love, Lyrics


Songwriters: John Bettis, Albert Louis Hammond
I wanna call the stars
Down from the sky
I wanna live a day
That never dies
I wanna change the world
Only for you
All the impossible
I wanna do

I wanna hold you close
Under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile
And feel the pain
I know what’s beautiful
Looking at you
In a world of lies
You are the truth

And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I’ll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I’m shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me

I wanna make you see
Just what I was
Show you the loneliness
And what it does
You walked into my life
To stop my tears
Everything’s easy now
I have you here

And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I’ll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I’m shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me

In a world without you
I would always hunger
All I need is your love to make me stronger

And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I’ll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I’m shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me

You love me
When you tell me that you love me

Sea Sunset

Posted by Rachel on 28th June 2010 in Love, Lyrics


Music by Tarja Turunen – Damned and Divine

It on’t help if you wait for me.
I’m a slave to the dark.
I know I’m not a saint, you see.
The dawn is when it starts.

Feel the shadow of my oblivion
Hoping mercy would show her face.
On the road to your own perdition
In the coal-blackened rain.

Frozen in time, yearning forbidden wishes.
Damned and divine.
Scars of my broken kisses.
What will follow if tomorrow’s blind?
My eternal night.

As the wind takes me away from you
Before the morning light.
My sins are fading into view
I’m so weary deep inside

Feel the shadow of my oblivion
Hoping mercy would show her face
On the road to your own perdition
I may see you again.

Frozen in time, yearning forbidden wishes.
Damned and divine.
Scars of my broken kisses.
What will follow if tomorrow’s blind?
My eternal night.

Every single dawn I die again.

Dalida and Alain Delon Paroles, paroles

Posted by Rachel on 21st June 2010 in Lyrics


French

C’est étrange,
Je ne sais pas ce qui m’arrive ce soir,
Je te regarde comme pour la première fois.
Encore des mots toujours des mots
Les mêmes mots
Je ne sais plus comme te dire,
Rien que des mots
Mais tu es cette belle histoire d’amour…
Que je ne cesserai jamais de lire.
Des mots faciles des mots fragiles
C’était trop beau
Tu es d’hier et de demain
Bien trop beau
De toujours ma seule vérité.
Mais c’est fini le temps des rêves
Les souvenirs se fanent aussi
Quand on les oublie
Tu es comme le vent qui fait chanter les violons
Et emporte au loin le parfum des roses.
Caramels, bonbons et chocolats
Par moments, je ne te comprends pas.
Merci, pas pour moi
Mais tu peux bien les offrir à une autre
Qui aime le vent et le parfum des roses
Moi, les mots tendres enrobés de douceur
Se posent sur ma bouche mais jamais sur mon coeur
Une parole encore.
Paroles, paroles, paroles
Écoute-moi.
Paroles, paroles, paroles
Je t’en prie.
Paroles, paroles, paroles
Je te jure.
Paroles, paroles, paroles, paroles, paroles
Encore des paroles que tu sèmes au vent
Voilà mon destin te parler….
Te parler comme la première fois.
Encore des mots toujours des mots
Les mêmes mots
Comme j’aimerais que tu me comprennes.
Rien que des mots
Que tu m’écoutes au moins une fois.
Des mots magiques des mots tactiques
Qui sonnent faux
Tu es mon rêve défendu.
Oui, tellement faux
Mon seul tourment et mon unique espérance.
Rien ne t’arrête quand tu commences
Si tu savais comme j’ai envie
D’un peu de silence
Tu es pour moi la seule musique…
Qui fit danser les étoiles sur les dunes
Caramels, bonbons et chocolats
Si tu n’existais pas déjà je t’inventerais.
Merci, pas pour moi
Mais tu peux bien les ouvrir à une autre
Qui aime les étoiles sur les dunes
Moi, les mots tendres enrobés de douceur
Se posent sur ma bouche mais jamais sur mon coeur
Encore un mot juste une parole
Paroles, paroles, paroles
Écoute-moi.
Paroles, paroles, paroles
Je t’en prie.
Paroles, paroles, paroles
Je te jure.
Paroles, paroles, paroles, paroles, paroles
Encore des paroles que tu sèmes au vent
Que tu es belle!
Paroles, paroles, paroles
Que tu est belle!
Paroles, paroles, paroles
Que tu es belle!
Paroles, paroles, paroles
Que tu es belle!
Paroles, paroles, paroles, paroles, paroles
Encore des paroles que tu sèmes au vent

English
Alain:
It’s strange, I do not know what happens tonight
It’s like watching you for the first time

Dalida:
Still words words always the same words
I do not know how to tell you
Nothing but words
But you are this beautiful love story that I have never stopped reading
Words are easy words fragile it was too good
you are yesterday and tomorrow
it’s too good
As always my only truth
But it’s over time dreams
Memories fade as when we forget
You are like the wind that makes violins sing
And takes the scent of roses
Caramels, candies and chocolates
Sometimes I do not understand you
Thank you, but not for me
You may well offer another
Who loves the wind and the scent of roses
words wrapped in a soft sweetness
arise on my mouth, but never on my heart
A word again

Words and words and words
Listen
Words and words and words
I beg you
Words and words and words
I swear to you
Words and words and words and words
Words and more words that you sow the wind

This is my destiny you speak, you speak like the first time
Still words words always the same words
Because I want you to understand me
Nothing but words
Whether you m’écoutes at least once
Words magic words that sound wrong tactics
You are my dream defended
Yes so wrong
My only torment and my only hope
Nothing stops when you start
If you knew as I want a bit of silence
You are for me the only music
That makes the stars dancing on the dunes
Caramels, candies and chocolates
If you did not exist already …
Thanks not for me, but
You may well offer another
Who loves the stars on the dunes
words wrapped in a soft sweetness
land on my mouth but never on my heart
Another word just a word

Words and words and words
Listen
Words and words and words
I beg you
Words and words and words
I swear to you
Words and words and words and words
Words and more words that you sow the wind
Whether you are beautiful!
Words and words and words
Whether you are beautiful!
Words and words and words
Whether you are beautiful!
Words and words and words
Whether you are beautiful!
Words and words and words and words
Words and more words that you sow the wind.

Make Someone Happy – Barbra Streisand

Posted by Rachel on 22nd May 2010 in Love, Lyrics


Jimmy Durante
Make someone happy,
Make just one someone happy;
Make just one heart the heart you sing to.
One smile that cheers you,
One face that lights when it nears you,
One girl you’re ev’rything to.

Fame if you win it,
Comes and goes in a minute.
Where’s the real stuff in life to cling to?
Love is the answer,
Someone to love is the answer.
Once you’ve found her, build your world around her.

Make someone happy,
Make just one someone happy,
And you will be happy, too.

Lara Fabian 2010 je taime

Posted by Rachel on 23rd April 2010 in Love, Lyrics, Pop


French
D’accord, il existait d’autres façons de se quitter
Quelques éclats de verres auraient peut être pu nous aider
Dans ce silence amer, j’ai décidé de pardonner
Les erreurs qu’on peut faire à trop s’aimer
D’accord la petite fille en moi souvent te réclamait
Presque comme une mère, tu me bordais, me protégais
Je t’ai volé ce sang qu’on n’aurait pas dû partager
A bout des mots, des rêves je vais crier

Je t’aime, je t’aime
Comme un fou comme un soldat
Comme une star de cinéma
Je t’aime, je t’aime
Comme un loup comme un roi
Comme un homme que je ne suis pas
Tu vois, je t’aime comme ça

D’accord je t’ai confié tous mes sourires, tous mes secrets
Même ceux, dont seul un frère est le gardien inavoué
Dans cette maison de pierre,
Satan nous regardait danser
J’ai tant voulu la guerre de corps qui se faisaient la paix

Je t’aime, je t’aime
Comme un fou comme un soldat
Comme une star de cinéma
Je t’aime, je t’aime
Comme un loup comme un roi
Comme un homme que je ne suis pas
Tu vois, je t’aime comme ça

Je t’aime, je t’aime
Comme un fou comme un soldat
Comme une star de cinema
Je t’aime, je t’aime, je t’aime, je t’aime, je t’aime, je t’aime
Comme un loup comme un roi
Comme un homme que je ne suis pas
Tu vois, je t’aime comme ça

English
Agree, there existed other ways of parting
A few debris of glass maybe could have helped us
In this bitter silence, I decided to forgive
The faults which we are done when loving so much
Agree, the small girl in me often claimed you
almost like a mother, you guarded me, u protected me
I’ve stolen your blood for we’ll couldn’t be separated
At heart of words and dreams I’m gonna scream:

I love you, I love you
like a crazy, like a soldier
like a movie star
I love you, I love you
as a wolf, as a king
as a man that i’m not
you see, i love you like that

Agree, I trusted you all my smiles and secrets
Same those shameful, for which only a brother is the guard
In this stony house,
Satan watched us dance
I wanted so much the war of bodies which made the peace

I love you, I love you
like a crazy, like a soldier
like a star of cinema
I love you, I love you
as a wolf, as a king
as a man that i’m not
you see, i love you like that

Lara Fabian 2010 je suis malade (1)

Posted by Rachel on 1st April 2010 in Lyrics


French
Je ne rêve plus je ne fume plus
Je n’ai même plus d’histoire
Je suis sale sans toi
Je suis laide sans toi
Je suis comme un orphelin dans un dortoir

Je n’ai plus envie de vivre dans ma vie
Ma vie cesse quand tu pars
Je n’ais plus de vie et même mon lit
Ce transforme en quai de gare
Quand tu t’en vas

Je suis malade
Complètement malade
Comme quand ma mère sortait le soir
Et qu’elle me laissait seul avec mon désespoir

Je suis malade parfaitement malade
T’arrive on ne sait jamais quand
Tu repars on ne sait jamais où
Et ça va faire bientôt deux ans
Que tu t’en fous

Comme à un rocher
Comme à un péché
Je suis accroché à toi
Je suis fatigué je suis épuisé
De faire semblant d’être heureuse quand ils sont là

Je bois toutes les nuits
Mais tous les whiskies
Pour moi on le même goût
Et tous les bateaux portent ton drapeau
Je ne sais plus où aller tu es partout

Je suis malade
Complètement malade
Je verse mon sang dans ton corps
Et je suis comme un oiseau mort quand toi tu dors

Je suis malade
Parfaitement malade
Tu m’as privé de tous mes chants
Tu m’as vidé de tous mes mots
Pourtant moi j’avais du talent avant ta peau

Cet amour me tue
Si ça continue je crèverai seul avec moi
Près de ma radio comme un gosse idiot
Écoutant ma propre voix qui chantera

Je suis malade
Complètement malade
Comme quand ma mère sortait le soir
Et qu’elle me laissait seul avec mon désespoir

Je suis malade
C’est ça je suis malade
Tu m’as privé de tous mes chants
Tu m’as vidé de tous mes mots
Et j’ai le coeur complètement malade
Cerné de barricades
T’entends je suis malade

English
I do not dream any more
I do not smoke any more
I do not have even any more history
I am alone without you
I am ugly without you
I am Like orphan in a dormitory
I do not want any more
Of living my life
My life ceases when you leave
I do not have any more life
And even my bed
Transforms itself into quay of station
When you from go away…
I am sick
Completely sick
As when my mother left the evening
And that it leaving me only with my despair
I am sick
Perfectly sick
Arrive to you one never knows when
You set out again one never knows where
And that will make soon two years
That you of insane…
As with a rock
As with a sin
I am fixed on you
I am tired, I am exhausted
To make pretence be happy
When they are there
I drink every night
even all whiskies
For me have the same taste
And all boats
Carry your flag
I do not know any more where to go you are everywhere…
I am sick
Completely sick
I pour my blood in your body
And I am like a dead bird
When you you sleep
I am sick
Perfectly sick
You deprived to me of all my songs
You emptied me of all my words
However me I had talent
Before your skin…
This love kills to me
If that continues
I will only burst with me
Like an idiotic kid
Close to my radio
by listening to my own voice which will sing…
I am sick
Completely sick
As when my mother left the evening
And that it only left me with my despair
I am sick
it is that I am sick
You deprived to me of all my songs
You emptied me of all my words
And I have the completely sick heart
Encircled barricades
Hear you… I am sïck…

Love to be loved by you – Marc Terenzi

Posted by Rachel on 7th March 2010 in Love, Lyrics

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfhkDeZRXZw&hl=en_US&fs=1&]
I can’t believe I’m standing here
Been waiting for so many years and
Today I found the Queen to reign my heart
You changed my live so patiently
And turned it into something good and real
I feel just like I felt in all my dreams
There are questions hard to answer
Can’t you see…

Chorus:
Baby, tell me how can I tell you
That I love you more than life
Show me how can I show you
That I’m blinded by your light
When you touch me I can touch you
To find out the dream is true
I love to be loved by you

You’re looking kind of scared right now
You’re waiting for the wedding vows
But I don’t know if my tongue’s able to talk
Your beauty is just blinding me
Like sunbeams on a summer stream and
I gotta close my eyes to protect me
Can you take my hand and lead me
From here please yeah…yeah…

Chorus:
Baby, tell me how can I tell you
That I love you more than life
Show me how can I show you
That I’m blinded by your light
When you touch me I can touch you
To find out the dream is true
I love to be loved, I need to be loved
I love to be loved by you

I know they gonna say our love’s not strong enough to last forever
And I know they gonna say that we’ll give up because of heavy weather
But how can they understand that our love is just heaven sent
We keep on going on and on cause this is where we both belong…

Chorus:
Baby, tell me how can I tell you
That I love you more than life
Show me how can I show you
That I’m blinded by your light
When you touch me I can touch you
To find out the dream is true
I love to be loved, I need yes I need to be loved
I love to be loved by you

Yes I love to be loved by you
