Lyric - Les Choristes - Vois Sur Ton Chemin



Les Choristes
Vois Sur Ton Chemin

Vois sur ton chemin
Gamins oubliés égarés
Donne leur la main
Pour les mener
Vers d'autres lendemains

[Donne leur la main
Pour les mener
Vers d'autres lendemains]

Sens au coeur de la nuit
L'onde d'espoir
Ardeur de la vie
Sentier de gloire

[Ardeur de la vie
De la vie
Sentier de gloire
Sentir de gloire]

Bonheurs enfantins
Trop vite oubliés effacés
Une lumière dorée
Brille sans fin
Tout au bout du chemin

[Vite oubliés effacés
Une lumière dorée
Brille sans fin]

Sens au coeur de la nuit
L'onde d'espoir
Ardeur de la vie
Sentier de gloire

[Ardeur de la vie
De la vie
Sentier de gloire
Sentir de gloire]

==========

See On Your Way
(Look to Your Path)

See on your way
Children forgotten and lost
Give them a hand
To lead them
To other tomorrows

Feel in the the middle of the night
The wave of hope
The ardor of life
The path to glory

Childish joys
Erased and forgotten too soon
A golden light shines endlessly
At the end of the road

Feel in the the middle of the night
The wave of hope
The ardor of life
The path to glory

Lyric - Love Story





Love Story
Performer: Andy Williams

Where do I begin
To tell the story
Of how great a love can be
The sweet love story
That is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start

With her first hello
She gave the meaning
To this empty world of mine
There'll never be
Another love another time
She came into my life
And made a living fine
She fills my heart

She fills my heart
With very special things
With angel songs
With wild imaginings
She fills my soul
With so much love
That anywhere I go
I'm never lonely
With her along
Who could be lonely
I reach for her hand
It's always there

How long does it last?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now
But this much I can say
I know I'll need her till the stars all burn away
And she'll be there

Une Histoire D'Amour
Artist: Mireille Mathieu

Une histoire d'amour
Où chaque jour devient pour nous le dernier jour
Où on peut dire à demain à son amour
Et, qu'on est là, tout près de lui a regardé
Mourir sa vie

Une histoire d'amour
Où, pour nous deux, le mot toujours semblait trop court
Tu vois pourtant nous n'avons plus beaucoup le temps
Non mon amour tu ne dois pas, il ne faut pas
Pleurer sur moi

Ne me dis pas adieu
Je vais fermer les yeux
Viens près de moi
Et prends-moi dans tes bras
Restons ensemble
Serre-moi fort
Tu vois il me semble
Que ma vie s'endort
Dis-moi je t'aime

Une histoire d'amour
C'est la chanson de l'océan, les nuits d'été
Un souvenir qui va durer l'éternité
Pour moi ce soir la vie s'en va mais notre amour
Ne finis pas

Une histoire d'amour
Ça ne peut pas vraiment mourir en un seul jour
Ne reste pas le cœur en deuil à vivre seul
Il te faudra voir d'autres ciels, d'autres soleils
Ne pleure pas

Lyric - Dù Có Là Người Tình

Dù Có Là Người Tình
Original Chinese Music (performed by Quách Phú Thành (Aaron Kwok))




Hương-vị yêu-đương thoáng trong tim
Như là cơn gió điên...
Không một câu tha-thiết van-xin
Nhưng lòng ta khó quên...

Muôn đời anh mãi mãi yêu em
Nhưng là yêu trong giấc mơ thôi...
Cho dù em như áng mây trôi
Nhưng còn đây đôi mắt luôn mong.. đợi của anh...
Người ơi !

Yêu-đương chi cho lòng thêm đau chớ trách duyên-số
Khiến cho ta phải mang hận-sầu trong đời...
Và con tim không bao giờ than-van
Nếu biết rằng khi yêu chúng ta không nhiều hối tiếc...

[ĐK]
Cuộc sống mấy ai nào biết trước định-mênh
Và có mấy ai tự đổi-thay đời mình
Từng đêm ngồi hàn-gắn vết thương.. của trái tim...
Buồn tênh !

Lyric - Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word (Elton John, 1976)

Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word
from album Blue Moves
Music: Elton John
Lyric: Bernie Taupin
Piano and vocals: Elton John
Bass: Kenny Passarelli
Electric piano: James Newton Howard
Vibes: Ray Cooper
Accordion: Carl Fortina
MCA Records, November 1st, 1976





What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you're not there

What do I do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it's all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word

What do I do to make you love me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do
What have I got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word

Lyric - You Are My Destiny (Paul Anka, 1958)

You Are My Destiny
Written and Performed by Paul Anka
1958





You are my destiny
You share my reverie
You are my happiness
That's what you are

You have my sweet caress
You share my loneliness
You are my dream come true
That's what you are

Heaven and heaven alone
Can take your love from me
'Cause I'd be a fool
To ever leave you dear
And a fool I'd never be

You are my destiny
You share my reverie
You're more than life to me
That's what you are

Lyric - Thuong Hoai Ngan Nam (Pham Manh Cuong)



Thương Hoài Ngàn Năm
Written by Phạm Mạnh Cương

Ngàn năm thương hoài một bóng hình ai
Tình đã khơi rồi mộng khó nhạt phai
Trăng khuyết rồi có khi đầy
Ngăn cách rồi cũng xum vầy
Mây bay bay hoài ngàn năm.

Lòng như con thuyền đổ bến tình yêu
Ngại gió mưa chiều thuyền vẫn còn neo
Ai đó dù có hững hờ
Ai đó dù đã âm thầm
Ra đi ôm trọn niềm thương.

[ĐK]
Thương hoài ôi ngàn năm còn đó
Đá mòn mà tình có mòn đâu
Tình đầu là tình cuối người ơi
Suốt đời mình nguyện câu lứa đôi.

Thời gian âm thầm như nước về khơi
Lòng trót yêu người tình khó đổi thay
Hoa thắm rồi có khi tàn
Tình ấy chỉ đến một lần
Tâm tư thương hoài ngàn.

Lyric - A Love Before Time (Tan Dun, Coco Lee)






[Original Chinese Lyric]
月光愛人 (李玟)

我醒來 睡在月光裡
下弦月 讓我想你
不想醒過來 誰明白
怕眼睜開 你不在

愛人心 深入海
帶我去 把它找回來
請愛我 一萬年
用心愛

[愛是月光的禮物
我等待天使的情書
說你 愛我]

我願為了愛沉睡 别醒來
永恆哪 在不在 怪我的心 放不開
北極星 帶我走
别躲藏 把愛找出来

我愛你 每一夜
我等待 (等你)
我的心 為了愛 睡在月之海
孤單的我 想念誰
誰明白

[我在月光下流淚
我也在月光下沉睡
没有 後悔]

等待真心人把我吻醒

[我在睡夢中一天
也是在回憶中一年
說你 愛我]

我願為了愛沉睡
到永遠

[English Literal Translation]
Moonlight Lover (CoCo Lee)

I'm waking up from sleeping in the moonlight
The waning crescent made me think of you
Don't want to wake up, who understands?
Afraid that when my eyes open
You won't be here

My lover's heart has sunk into the sea
Take me there to search it out
Please love me for 10,000 years
With your heart

[Love is moonlight's present
I'll await an Angel's love letter
Saying you love me]

For love, I'm willing to sleep deeply
Without waking

Is eternity here or not?
Blame my heart for being unable to let go
North Star, take me away
Don't conceal yourself-- seek out that love
I love you, every night
I'm waiting (waiting for you)
For love, my heart is sleeping in the moon's ocean
This lonely me is missing whom?
Who understands?

[I'm crying tears beneath this moon
I'm also sleeping deeply in the moonlight
Without regrets]

Waiting for a true-hearted person to kiss me awake

[I'm in a sleeping dream for a day
Also in recollection for a year
Say you love me]

For love, I'm willing to sleep deeply
Until forever


[English Lyric]
A Love Before Time

Music by Tan Dun
Lyric by James Schamus
Performed by Coco Lee

If the sky opened up for me
And the mountains disappeared
If the seas ran dry, turned to dust
And the sun refused to rise
I would still find my way
By the light I see in your eyes
The world I know fades away
But you stay

[As the earth reclaims its due
And the cycle starts anew
We'll stay, always]

In the love that we have shared
Before time

If the years take away
Every memory that I have
I would still know the way
That would lead me back to your side
The North Star may die
But the light that I see in your eyes
Will burn there always
Lit by the love we have shared
Before time

[When the forest turns to jade
And the stories that we've made
Dissolve away]

One shining light will still remain

[When we shed our earthly skin
And when our real life begins
There'll be no shame]

Just the love that we have made
Before time

Lyric - "Dana Dana" ("Donna Donna") Original Yiddish Song (Sholom Secunda, 1940)











"Dana Dana" ("Donna Donna")
Original Yiddish Song for the musical play "Esterke" (1940-1941)
Music by Sholom Secunda
Lyric by Aaron Zeitlin


[Original Yiddish]

אױפֿן פֿורל ליגט דאָס קעלבל,
ליגט געבונדן מיט אַ שטריק.
הױך אין הימל פֿליט דאָס שװעלבל,
פֿרײט זיך, דרײט זיך הינט נאָך צריק.

כאָר:
ליגט געבונדן מיט אַ שטריק.
הױך אין הימל פֿליט דאָס שװעלבל,
פֿרײט זיך, דרײט זיך הינט נאָך צריק.

כאָר:
לאַכט דער װינט אין קאָרן,
לאַכט און לאַכט און לאַכט,
לאַכט ער אָפּ אַ טאָג אַ גאַנצן
מיט אַ האַלבע נאַכט.
דאָנאַ, דאָנאַ, דאָנאַ, ...

שרײַט דאָס קעלבל, זאָגט דער פּױער:
װער זשע הײסט דיר זײַן אַ קאַלב?
װאָלסט געקענט דאָך זײַן אַ פֿױגל,
װאָלסט געקענט דאָך זײַן אַ שװאַלב.

בלינדע קעלבער טוט מען בינדן

כאָר


[French]

Il était une fois un petit garçon
Qui vivait dans une grande maison
Sa vie n'était que joie et bonheur
Et pourtant au fond de son cœur

Il voulait devenir grand
Rêvait d'être un homme.
Chaque soir il y pensait
Quand sa maman le berçait

[Chorus]
Donna Donna Donna Donna
Tu regretteras le temps
Donna Donna Donna Donna
Où tu étais un enfant

Puis il a grandi, puis il est parti
Et il a découvert la vie
Les amours déçues, la faim et la peur
Et souvent au fond de son cœur

Il revoyait son enfance
Rêvait d'autrefois
Tristement il y pensait
Et il se souvenait

[Chorus]

Parfois je pense à ce petit garçon,
Ce petit garçon que j'étais.


[English]

On a wagon bound and helpless
Lies a calf, who is doomed to die.
High above him flies a swallow
Soaring gaily through the sky.

The wind laughs in the cornfield
Laughs with all his might
Laughs and laughs the whole day through
An half way through the night

[Chorus]
Dona, dona, dona...
Now the calf is softly crying
"Tell me wind, why do you laugh?"
Why can’t I fly like the swallow
Why did I have to be a calf,

[Chorus]

Calves are born and soon are slaughtered
With no hope of being saved.
Only those with wing like swallow
Will not ever be enslaved.

[Chorus]

Lyric - Pocketful Of Sunshine (Natasha Bedingfield, 2007)



Pocketful Of Sunshine
Natasha Bedingfield
Epic, 2007

[Interlude]
I got a pocket,
got a pocket full of sunshine
I've got a love and I know that it's all mine
oh oh oh
Do what you want,
but you're never gonna break me,
sticks and stones are never gonna shake me
oh oh oh

I got pocket,
Got a pocket full of sunshine
I've got a love and I know that it's all mine
oh oh oh
Wish that you could,
but you ain't gonna own me
do anything you can to control me
oh oh oh

[Chorus]
Take me away (take me away)
A secret place (a secret place)
A sweet escape (a sweet escape)
Take me away (take me away)
Take me away (take me away
To better days (to better days)
Take me away (take me away)
A hiding place (a hiding place)

[Hook]
There's a place that I go
That nobody knows
Where the rivers flow
And I call it home
And there's no more lies
And the darkness is light
And nobody cries
there's only butterflies

[Chorus 2x]

[Chorus & Interlude]

The sun is on my side
Take me for a ride
I smile up to the sky
I know I'll be alright
