  Natacha

Natacha, depuis que j'ai quitté Paris
Je pense beaucoup à toi
Et le soir, quand je m'endors dans le noir
Je vois ton visage.

Natacha, moi je reste attaché
A ta douce personne
Ma tendre, ma mignonne
Ma Natioucha à moi

Bien sûr on ne s'est pas toujours bien compris
Et les malentendus ont eu raison de nous
Alors je prends la route et je m'en vais si loin
Mais pas pour oublier
Cer moments inouïs que j'ai passé avec toi.

Natacha, moi je reste attaché
A ta douce personne
Ma tendre, ma mignonne
Ma Natioucha à moi

Bien sûr on aurait pu faire durer les choses
Mais c'eût été un peu artificiel et puis tu sais
Ca nous aurait mené à des situations
Que des personnes subtiles et délicates
Comme toi et moi
Ont toujours su et voulu éviter.

Natacha, moi je reste attaché
A ta douce personne
Ma tendre, ma mignonne
Ma Natioucha à moi

Je n'oublierai jamais quand tu chantais le soir
Dans le salon d'hiver au milieu des miroirs
Ta voix qui résonnait dans toute la maison
Mais surtout dans mon coeur.

  Dream about me

Babe
Oh, dream about me
Lie... on the phone to me
Tell me no truth
If it is bad
There's enough in my life
To make me so sad

Just dream about
Color fills our lives
Just dream about
Someone else tonight

Babe
Oh, dream about me
On the phone
Talking quietly
I wanna be yours
Oh, won't you be mine
Against red skies
For all time

So dream about... us
When we're old
Just dream about
How I will let go

And...
And...

And babe
Oh, dream about me
Lie, on the phone to me
Tell me no truth
If it is bad
There's enough in my life
To make me so sad

Just dream about
Color fills our lives

Just dream about
Someone else tonight

Just dream about
Color fills our song

Just dream about
How I will let go.

  Lullaby

On candystripe legs the spiderman comes
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Looking for the victim shivering in bed
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
Suddenly!
A movement in the corner of the room!
And there is nothing i can do
When i realise with fright
That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!

Quietly he laughs and shaking his head
Creeps closer now
Closer to the foot of the bed
And softer than shadow and quicker than flies
His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
"Be still, be calm, be quiet now, my precious
Don't struggle like that or i will only love you more
For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"

And i feel like i'm being eaten
By a thousand million shivering furry holes
And i know that in the morning i will wake up
In the shivering cold

And the spiderman is always hungry...

  Love me

[van helden]

  Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love.

  This is your life

And you open the door and you step inside
Where inside our hearts
Now imagine your pain as a white ball of healing light
That's right, your pain
The pain itself is a white ball of healing light
I don't think so

This is your life, good to the last drop
Doesn't get any better than this
This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time

This isn't a seminar, this isn't a weekend retreat
Where you are now you can't even imagine what the bottom will be like
Only after disaster can we be resurrected
It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything
Nothing is static, everything is evolving, everything is falling apart

This is your life, this is your life, this is your life, this is your life
Doesn't get any better than this
This is your life, this is your life, this is your life, this is your life
And it and it's ending one-minute at a time

You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake
You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else
We are all part of the same compost heap
We are the all singing, all dancing, crap of the world

You are not your bank account
You are not the clothes you wear
You are not the contents of your wallet
You are not your bowel cancer
You are not your grande latte
You are not the car you drive
You are not your fucking khaki's

You have to give up, you have to give up
You have to realize that someday you will die
Until you know that, you are useless

I say let me never be complete
I say may I never be content
I say deliver me from Swedish furniture
I say deliver me from clever arts
I say deliver me from clear skin and perfect teeth
I say you have to give up
I say evolve, and let the chips fall where they may

This is your life, this is your life, this is your life, this is your life
Doesn't get any better than this
This is your life, this is your life, this is your life, this is your life
And it and it's ending one-minute at a time

You have to give up, you have to give up
I want you to hit me as hard as you can
I want you to hit me as hard as you can

Welcome to Fight Club
If this is your first night, you have to fight.

  Everybody hurts

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone.

  Sleep alone

As the sun was set
And the pieces of light touch your hair
Perfect love come softly
If at all, at all
City once full of people
Desolate, is desolate
We look back in
To the ruins where we played

At least we were together
Holding hands
Flying through the sky
At least we were together
Holding hands
Flying through the sky
Sky

Touch your hand
You touch the back of my neck
So many empty nights
Just waiting for this, for this
Stand there
All heading downsteam
On steady islands
We hear nothing, nothing

At least we were together
Holding hands
Flying through the sky
At least we were together
Holding hands
Flying through the sky
Sky

At least we were together
Holding hands
Flying through the sky
At least we were together
Holding hands
Flying through the sky
At least we were together
Holding hands
Flying through the sky
At least we were together
Holding hands
Flying through the sky
Sky.

  Nothing else matters

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters.

  La celestina

Mi hija quédate conmigo un rato
Porqué andas arrastrando esa desdicha
Espérame un momento y te desato
Pero, qué enredo te has puesto, muchachita
Qué amargos son los hechos que adivinas
Qué oscura es la ronda de tu recuerdo
Y en cuanto a tu corona de espinas
Te queda bien, pero la pagarás muy caro

Con tu mirada de fiera ofendida
Con tu vendaje donde herida no hay
Con tus gemidos de madre sufrida
Espantarás a tu última esperanza
Haz de tu puño algo cariñoso
Y haz de tu adiós un "ay mi amor"
Y de tu seña una sonrisita
Y de tu fuga un "ya voy ya voy llegando"

Mi hija que pena me da de verte
Dejando olvidado a tu cuerpo
Muy lista, pobre boba, a dedicarte
A la eterna disección de un pecadillo

Mujer, desnúdate y estáte quieta
A ti te busca la saeta
Y es el hombre, al fin, como sangría
Que a veces da salud a veces mata
Y es el hombre, al fin, como sangría
Que a veces da salud a veces mata

Con tu mirada de fiera ofendida
Con tu vendaje donde herida no hay
Con tus gemidos de madre sufrida
Espantarás a tu última esperanza
Haz de tu puño algo cariñoso
Y haz de tu adiós un "ay mi amor"
Y de tu seña una sonrisita
Y de tu fuga un "ya voy ya voy llegando"

Mi hija que pena me da de verte
Dejando olvidado a tu cuerpo
Muy lista, pobre boba, a dedicarte
A la eterna disección de un pecadillo

Mujer, desnúdate y estáte quieta
A ti te busca la saeta
Y es el hombre, al fin, como sangría
Que a veces da salud a veces mata
Y es el hombre, al fin, como sangría
Que a veces da salud y a veces.

  Lady D'Arbanville

My Lady d'Arbanville, why do you sleep so still?
I'll wake you tomorrow
And you will be my fill, yes, you will be my fill.

My Lady d'Arbanville why does it grieve me so?
But your heart seems so silent.
Why do you breathe so low, why do you breathe so low,

My Lady d'Arbanville why do you sleep so still?
I'll wake you tomorrow
And you will be my fill, yes, you will be my fill.

My Lady d'Arbanville, you look so cold tonight.
Your lips feel like winter,
Your skin has turned to white, your skin has turned to white.

My Lady d'Arbanville, why do you sleep so still?
I'll wake you tomorrow
And you will be my fill, yes, you will be my fill.

La la la la la....

My Lady d'Arbanville why do you grieve me so?
But your heart seems so silent.
Why do you breathe so low, why do you breathe so low,

I loved you my lady, though in your grave you lie,
I'll always be with you
This rose will never die, this rose will never die.

I loved you my lady, though in your grave you lie,
I'll always be with you
This rose will never die, this rose will never die.

  L'amour est un oiseau rebelle (Carmen)

L'amour est un oiseau rebelle
Que nul ne peut apprivoiser
Et c'est bien en vain qu'on l'appelle
C'est lui qu'on vient de nous refuser

Rien n'y fait, menaces ou prières
L'un parle bien, l'autre se tait
Et c'est l'autre que je préfère
Il n'a rien dit mais il me plaît

L'amour, l'amour, l'amour, l'amour
L'amour est enfant de bohème
Il n'a jamais jamais connu de lois
Si tu ne m'aimes pas je t'aime
Si je t'aime prend garde à toi
Si tu ne m'aimes pas
Si tu ne m'aimes pas je t'aime
Mais si je t'aime, si je t'aime
Prends garde à toi

L'oiseau que tu croyais surprendre
Battit de l'aile et s'envola
L'amour est loin, tu peux l'attendre
Tu ne l'attends plus, il est là

Tout autour de toi, vite, vite
Il vient, s'en va puis il revient
Tu crois le tenir, il t'évite
Tu crois l'éviter, il te tient

L'amour, l'amour, l'amour, l'amour
L'amour est enfant de bohème
Il n'a jamais jamais connu de lois
Si tu ne m'aimes pas je t'aime
Si je t'aime prend garde à toi
Si tu ne m'aimes pas
Si tu ne m'aimes pas je t'aime
Mais si je t'aime, si je t'aime
Prends garde à toi.

  Autumn leaves

The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

C'est une chanson, qui nous ressemble
Toi tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
Nous vivions tous les deux ensemble
Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s’aiment

Since you ran away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall.

  Polonaise

[van helden]

  Straight to the heart

[van helden]

  I've seen that face before / Libertango

Strange, I've seen that face before,
Seen him hanging 'round my door,
Like a hawk stealing for the prey,
Like the night waiting for the day,

Strange, he shadows me back home,
Footsteps echo on the stones,
Rainy nights, on Hausmann Boulevard,
Parisian music, drifting from the bars,

Tu cherches quoi, rencontrer la mort,
Tu te prends pour qui, toi aussi tu detestes la vie,

Dance in bars and restaurants,
Home with anyone who wants,
Strange he's standing there alone,
Staring eyes chill me to the bone.

Dans sa chambre, Joel et sa valise,
Un regard sur ses fringues,
Sur les murs, des photos,
Sans regret, sans mélo,
La porte est claquée, Joel est barré.
