The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling like thunder now
As I look in your eyes
I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake
(first chorus)
‘Cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I’ll do all that I can
Lost is how I’m feeling lying in your arms
When the world outside’s too
Much to take
That all ends when I’m with you
Even though there may be times
It seems I’m far away
Never wonder where I am
‘Cause I am always by your side
(repeat first chorus)
(second chorus)
We’re heading for something
Somewhere I’ve never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I’m ready to learn
Of the power of love
The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear
Suddenly the feeling that I can’t go on
Is light years away
(repeat first chorus)
(repeat second chorus)
(Gunther Mende / Candy DeRouge / Jennifer Rush / Mary Susan Applegate)
J’ai compris tous les mots, j’ai bien compris, merci
Raisonnable et nouveau, c’est ainsi par ici
Que les choses ont changé, que les fleurs ont fané
Que le temps d’avant, c’était le temps d’avant
Que si tout zappe et lasse, les amours aussi passent
Il faut que tu saches
J’irai chercher ton coeur si tu l’emportes ailleurs
Même si dans tes danses d’autres dansent tes heures
J’irai chercher ton âme dans les froids dans les flammes
Je te jetterai des sorts pour que tu m’aimes encore
Fallait pas commencer m’attirer me toucher
Fallait pas tant donner moi je sais pas jouer
On me dit qu’aujourd’hui, on me dit que les autres font ainsi
Je ne suis pas les autres
Avant que l’on s’attache, avant que l’on se gâche
Je veux que tu saches
J’irai chercher ton coeur si tu l’emportes ailleurs
Même si dans tes danses d’autres dansent tes heures
J’irai chercher ton âme dans les froids dans les flammes
Je te jetterai des sorts pour que tu m’aimes encore
Je trouverai des langages pour chanter tes louanges
Je ferai nos bagages pour d’infinies vendanges
Les formules magiques des marabouts d’Afrique
J’les dirai sans remords pour que tu m’aimes encore
Je m’inventerai reine pour que tu me retiennes
Je me ferai nouvelle pour que le feu reprenne
Je deviendrai ces autres qui te donnent du plaisir
Vos jeux seront les nôtres si tel est ton désir
Plus brillante plus belle pour une autre étincelle
Je me changerai en or pour que tu m’aimes encore.
(Jean-Jacques Goldman)
I was waiting for so long
For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on and don't shed a tear
So through darkness and good times
I knew I'd make it through
And the world thought I had it all
But I was waiting for you
Hush now
I see a light in the sky
Oh it's almost blinding me
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel
With love
Let the rain come down
And wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul
And drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls
For a new sun
A new day has come
A new day has come
Where it was dark now there is light
Where there was pain, now there's joy
Where there was weakness, I found my strength
All in the eyes of a boy
Hush now
I see a light in the sky
Oh it's almost blinding me
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel
With love
Let the rain come down
And wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul
And drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls
For a new sun
A new day has come
A new day has come

Chorus

Chez moi les forêts se balancent
Et les toits grattent le ciel
Les eaux des torrents sont violence
Et les neiges sont éternelles
Chez moi les loups sont à nos portes
Et tous les enfants les comprennent
On entend les cris de New York
Et les bateaux sur la Seine
Va pour tes forêts tes loups tes gratte-ciel
Va pour les torrents tes neiges éternelles
J'habite où tes yeux brillent où ton sang coule
Où des bras me serrent
J'irai où tu iras, mon pays sera toi
J'irai où tu iras qu'importe la place
Qu'importe l'endroit
Je veux des cocotiers des plages
Et des palmiers sous le vent
Le feu du soleil au visage
Et le bleu des océans
Je veux des chameaux des mirages
Et des déserts envoûtants
Des caravanes et des voyages comme sur les dépliants
Va pour tes cocotiers tes rivages
Va pour tes lagons tout bleu balançant
J'habite où l'amour est un village
Là où l'on m'attend
J'irai où tu iras, mon pays sera toi
J'irai où tu iras, qu'importe la place
Qu'importe l'endroit
Prends tes clic et tes clac et tes rêves et ta vie
Tes mots, tes tabernacles et ta langue d'ici
L'escampette et la poudre et la fille de l'air
Montre-moi tes édens montre-moi tes enfers
Tes nord et puis tes sud et tes zestes d'ouest
Chez moi les forêts se balancent
Et les toits grattent le ciel
Les eaux des torrents sont violence
Et les neiges sont éternelles
Chez moi les loups sont à nos portes
Et tous les enfants les comprennent
On entend les cris de New York
Et les bateaux sur la Seine
Qu'importe j'irai où bon te semble
J'aime tes envies j'aime ta lumière
Tous le paysages te ressemblent
Quand tu les éclaires
J'irai où tu iras, mon pays sera toi
J'irai où tu iras qu'importe la place
Qu'importe l'endroit
(Jean-Jacques Goldman)
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith ‘coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith ‘coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith ‘coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
(Diane Warren)
When I was a little girl
I had a rag doll
Only doll I’ve ever owned
Now I love you just the way I loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown
And it gets stronger, in every way
And it gets deeper, let me say
And it gets higher, day by day
And do I love you my oh my
Yeh river deep mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
When you were a young boy
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I’m gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No I’ll never let you down
Cause it grows stronger, like a river flows
And it gets bigger baby, and heaven knows
And it gets sweeter baby, as it grows
And do I love you my oh my
Yeh river deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
And I love you baby just like Tina loves to sing
And I love you baby like a school boy loves his pet
And I love you baby, river deep mountain high
Oh yeah you’ve gotta believe me
River Deep, Mountain High
Do I love you my oh my, oh baby
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
(Ellie Greenwich / Jeff Barry / Phil Spector)
Une rue, les gens passent
Les gens comme on les voit
Juste un flux, une masse
Sans visage, sans voix
Quel étrange aujourd'hui
Quelque chose, mais quoi ?
Désobéit
Une rue comme d'autres
Et le temps se suspend
Une tache, une faute
Et soudain tu comprends
Impudence inouïe
Insolite, indécent
Zora sourit
Zora sourit, aux trottoirs, aux voitures, aux passants
Au vacarme, aux murs, au mauvais temps
À son visage nu sous le vent
À ses jambes qui dansent en marchant
À tout ce qui nous semble évident
Elle avance et bénit chaque instant
Zora sourit
Des phrases sur les murs
Des regards de travers
Parfois quelques injures
Elle en a rien à faire
Elle distribue ses sourires
Elle en reçoit autant
Zora sourit, effrontément
Zora sourit, insolemment
Zora sourit pour elle, elle sourit d'être là
Mais elle sourit pour celles, celles qui sont là-bas
Pour ces femmes, ses soeurs qui ne savent plus sourire
Alors, des larmes plein le coeur, des larmes plein la vie
Zora sourit, Zora sourit, Zora sourit
(Jean-Jacques Goldman / J. Kapler)
Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you,
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you’re here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we’re one
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we’ll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you’re here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
There is some love that will not go away
You’re here, there’s nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on
We’ll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
(James Horner / Will Jennings)
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin’ alone
I think of all the friends I’ve known
When I dial the telephone
Nobody’s home
All by myself
Don’t wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And loves so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
All by myself
Don’t wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don’t wanna live
All by myself
Anymore
When I was young
I never needed anyone
Making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
All by myself
Don’t wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don’t wanna live
Oh
Don’t wanna live
By myself, by myself
Anymore
By myself
Anymore
Oh
All by myself
Don’t wanna live
I never, never, never
Needed anyone
(Eric Carmen / Sergei Rachmaninoff)
What’s left to say?
These prayers ain’t working anymore
Every word shot down in flames
What’s left to do with these broken pieces on the floor?
I’m losing my voice calling on you
‘Cause I’ve been shaking, I’ve been bending backwards ‘till I’m broke
Watching all these dreams go up in smoke
Let beauty come out of ashes
Let beauty come out of ashes
And when I pray to God all I ask is
Can beauty come out of ashes?
Can you use these tears to put out the fires in my soul?
‘Cause I need you here, oh
‘Cause I’ve been shaking, I’ve been bending backwards ‘till I’m broke
Watching all these dreams go up in smoke
Let beauty come out of ashes
Let beauty come out of ashes
And when I pray to God all I ask is
Can beauty come out of ashes?
Can beauty come out of ashes?
Rising tides, tears you cry every night seem never ending
But that’s just life, the last goodbye, high and dry it leaves you empty
You might think your world is ending but it won’t
You might think you need to give up, but you don’t
Cause you don’t have to move a mountain just keep moving
Every move is a new emotion
And you don’t have to find the answers just keep trying
The sun will rise again, the storms subside again
This is not the end
And you will love again
Summer rain, day by day, sadness fades, the wound is healing
And time goes by, eyes will dry, and you will find someone to heal with
You might think your world is ending but it won’t
You might think you need to give up, but you don’t
Cause you don’t have to move a mountain just keep moving
Every move is a new emotion
And you don’t have to find the answers just keep trying
The sun will rise again, the storms subside again
This is not the end
And you will love again
You will love again, again, love again
You will love again, again, love again
Cause you don’t have to move a mountain just keep moving
Every move is a new emotion
And you don’t have to find the answers just keep trying
The sun will rise again, the storms subside again
No this is not the end
And you will love, you will love, you will love
Again

Je crains la nuit quand tu n'es pas là
Ce tout petit au-delà
Je crains le silence après les voix
Ce froid si froid
Je crains les rues, le jour et les gens
Et la solitude autant
Je prie qu'on ne me remarque pas
Moi je crois toi, toi je te crois
La pluie, les éclairs et les chats noirs
La vie me glace d'effroi
Soudain je sursaute en ne croisant qu'un miroir
Mais n'ai-je peur que de moi ?
Je crains les promesses et les serments
Les cris, les mots séduisants
Je me méfie si souvent de moi
Mais de toi, pas, toi je te crois
La pluie, les éclairs et les chats noirs
La vie me glace d'effroi
Mais quand je sursaute en ne croisant qu'un miroir
N'aurais-je peur que de moi ?
Je crains les saints, le mal et le bien
Je crains le monde et ses lois
Quand tout m'angoisse, quand tout s'éteint
J'entends ta voix
Je te crois, toi
Toi, je te crois
Moi, je te crois
(Jean-Jacques Goldman)
When you call on me
When I hear you
Breathe
I get wings to fly
I feel that I'm alive
When you look at me
I can touch the sky
I know that I'm alive
When you bless
The day
I just drift away
All my worries die
I'm glad that I'm
Alive
You've set my heart
On fire
Filled me with love
Made me a woman on
Clouds above
I couldn't get
Much higher
My spirit takes flight
‘Cause I am alive
When you call on me
When I hear you
Breathe
I get wings to fly
I feel that I'm alive
When you reach
For me
Raising spirits high
God knows that
That I'll be the one
Standing by
Through good and
Through
Trying times
And it's only begun
I can't wait for the
Rest of my life
When you call on me
When you reach
For me
I get wings to fly
I feel that
When you bless
The day
I just drift away
All my worries die
I know that I'm alive
I get
Wings to fly
God knows that I'm
Alive
(Kristian Lundin / Andreas Carlsson)
