Will you hate the rest of the world or will you renew your life?
Come and hear my story

LiLi Roquelin THE EP

Blues Alone
Your Imagination

I Saw You

CHILDFREE

They made me believe, it’s not an option
Not having children is out of the question
Every woman has to follow the custom
But we have gained more and more freedom
And we’ve come so far since the sixties
I won’t choose to please them if it’s wrong for me
Cos it’s my decision, and it’s my life

I don’t need a baby to be happy
I’m no less of a woman
I am childfree
I don’t need a baby to be happy
I am still a Human
I am childfree

They like judging me, they say I’m heartless
Every woman gives love, in so many ways
Your fulfillment comes when you follow your bliss
And we have gained more and more freedom
And we’ve come so far since the sixties
I won’t regret not doing what’s wrong for me
Cos it’s my decision, and it’s my life

Chorus

I’m not the only one to feel that way
Let’s all express why we chose other blessings
Then the outdated ideas will fade away

We don’t need babies to be happy
We’re no less of women
We are childfree
We don’t need babies to be happy
We are still Humans
We are childfree
We don’t need babies to be happy
We’re not afraid to sing
We are childfree
We don’t need babies to be happy
We just made different choices
We are childfree
We don’t need babies to be happy
There is not one way to be a woman.

“BE INSPIRED” ALBUM

FEEL GOOD

The Sun is Up, it’s a brand new Day
Love and Music are in the Air
The Birds wake up singing for me
Time to go on a Discovery
I open my eyes wide to see
All the Beauty there’s around me
Life is meant to be enjoyed,
So each day I choose to

Feel Good Feel So Good
Everyday is a New Beginning
Feel Good Feel So Good
It’s just the way I look at things
Feel Good Feel So Good
Everywhere I go my heart’s smilin’
Feel Good Feel So Good
Like it’s the first day of my life
Of my life, tutututumtum

It lifts me up, it’s a unique Day
Love how much there’s to see and share
The sky is different each moment
These little things keep me content
I’m taking my time to Breathe
Appreciate all there’s around me
Life is meant to be enjoyed,
And each day I choose to

Chorus

The possibilities are endless
Imagination is limitless
I’m sitting on top of the world
So come with me and we can all…

Chorus

AFTER DARK

And it’s After Dark
When the sun comes down
I see the city’s lights
Shine up the clouds
Ooh-oh-Ooh-oh-Ooh-oh
And it’s After Dark
When the sun goes down
You’ll see the stars come out
Light up the sky
Ooh-oh-Ooh-oh-Ooh-oh, Ooh-oh-Ooh-oh-Ooh-oh oh, Ooh-oh-Ooh-oh-Ooh-oh, aah.

On a summer evening
I ran down the field, to hear you sing
Your voice was floating; between the trees
You reached to me; with a light breeze.
You show me how to look at the world
And find the Brightness when I doubt…aah…

Chorus

Verse 2:
When I look at your face
I think of all the years in your embrace
Your voice so familiar, and it feels like home
How you tell me, I can be Free.
You show me how to find my own world
And keep the Brightness when they Doubt aah

Chorus

Bridge:
You show me I can trust myself and stay out of sadness
I am strong and I keep believing, and I’m still receiving
You show me how to look at the world, and see the brightness with no doubt…aahh…

Chorus + Chorus + aah

TIME TO BELIEVE

When you’re growing up you trust every little thing they say
Later it’s become all the voices in your head
Don’t fight to make them evaporate
You’re the one in control of your fate

It’s time to believe
In everything that can be
It’s time to believe
Imagine the harmony
It’s time to believe
In your own reality
It’s time to believe
In how you truly want to be

When you’re all grown up you know some things were left unsaid
When you feel ready with new choices in your head
Pick the thoughts that will open the gate
It’s your life you are free to create

It’s time to believe
In everything that can be
It’s time to believe
Imagine the harmony
It’s time to believe
In your own reality
It’s time to believe
In how you truly want to be

What seemed to be normal isn’t eternal
You’ll feel confident and powerful
Misconceptions are gone with new perceptions
When you….
Just start to believe
And dream what can be
It’s time to believe
In all you can’t see
It’s time to believe in everything that can be
It’s time to believe in your own reality
It’s time to believe, Imagine the harmony
It’s time to believe in how you truly want to be.

GETAWAY

I want to leave everything behind
And not have anything on my mind
Ooahooh a getaway with you
I think that’s the best way to unwind
There’s no reason to stay confined
Ooahooh a getaway with you

The desert, the mountains, or the sea
Wherever we’re going we are free
Ooahooh a getaway with you

We have no idea what we could find
The destination is undefined
Ooahooh a getaway with you

The desert, the mountains, or the sea
Wherever we’re going we are free
Ooahooh a getaway with you
Nobody else needs to agree
You and I know how to be Happy
Ooahooh a getaway with you

We can escape anytime we would like to
Turn off the phones and look at the sky
Count the clouds and nothing else to do

Ooahooh a getaway with you
The desert, the mountains, or the sea
Wherever we’re going we are free
Ooahooh a getaway with you
Nobody else needs to agree
You and I know how to be Happy
Ooahooh a getaway with you

We can escape anytime we would like to
Turn off the phones and look at the sky
Count the clouds… and nothing else to do…

SUMMER RAIN

It’s so warm, there’s a heat wave
The strong wind shakes the trees
The damp earth beneath my feet
My skin is glowing in the sun
Until a dark cloud shades me
The wind stops
Calm before storm
Birds quit singing
And here’s the first drop

Of a Summer Rain
A Love has gone
And you always say that we’ll fly away
Far to a world without wrong

The freshness of this rain
Will make it all come back to life
As the flowers were left to die
They will open once again
And the roses will bloom and shine
The wind stops
Calm before storm
Birds quit singing
And here’s the first drop

Of a Summer Rain
A Love has gone
And you always say that we’ll fly away
Far to a world without wrong
Summer Rain
My Love I know
That destiny will take us
To this Dream that we imagined

(Ukulele Solo)

Chorus + to this Dream… Summer Rain.

RISE ABOVE

All the different places in the country
And all the different people in each city
Let go of Hate to be compassionate
We are still meant to live together
Reach out and understand each other

Rise above
So you can find your true identity
Rise above
For yourself and all Humanity
When you look beyond the world’s polarity
Rise Above
Free your heart from animosity
And we can all join the oneness of Love, Love, Love

All the different things we all think we need
They’re never a good reason to compete
We grow from Hate to be compassionate
We are still meant to live together
Reach out and understand each other

Chorus +
And we can all join the oneness of Love, Love, Love
The oneness of Love,
Love, Love
The oneness of Love,
Love, Love
Chorus + And we can all join the oneness of Love, Love, Love
The oneness of Love,
Love, Love
The oneness of Love,
Love, Love.

Charles Trenet Cover.

Si Bien

Le soleil est levé
C’est une nouvelle journée
L’amour et la musique sont dans l’air
Les oiseaux se réveillent et chantent pour moi
Je dois partir pour une découverte
J’ouvre grand mes yeux pour voir
La splendeur qui est autour de moi
La vie doit être savourée
Je fais ce choix au quotidien

Si bien j’me sens si bien
Chaque jour est un nouveau départ
Si bien j’me sens si bien
C’est la manière dont je vois les choses
Si bien j’me sens si bien
Une vraie essence de joie que je saisis
Si bien j’me sens si bien
Comme si c’était le premier jour de ma vie
De ma vie, tututututu

Je suis égayée par ce jour inégalé
J’aime combien il y a à partager
Le ciel est différent à chaque moment
Toutes ces petites choses me contentent
Je prends le temps de respirer
Apprécier ce qui est autour de moi
La vie doit être savourée
Je fais ce choix au quotidien

chorus + De ma vie, tututututu

Des possibilités à l’infini
Une imagination sans limite
Je suis transportée au septième ciel
Rejoins-moi, nous pourrons tous

Si bien nous sentir si bien…
Chaque jour est un nouveau départ
Si bien nous sentir si bien
C’est la manière dont on voit les choses
Si bien j’me sens si bien

Une vraie essence de joie que je saisis
Si bien j’me sens si bien
Comme si c’était le premier jour de ma vie
De ma vie, tututututu

Petunia’s Song

She won’t let you step on her paws
She’s got pretty much no flaws
Ooaahooh Petunia
She’s quite delicate and she’s pouty
Loving and almost never snotty
Oohaahooh Petunia
Ce n’est pas une fille ordinaire
Ses yeux nous parlent et c’est très clair
Oohaahooh Petunia

She’s always ready to give you snuggles
When you need her to walk through puddles

Oohaahooh Petunia
Ce n’est pas une fille ordinaire
Ses yeux nous parlent et c’est très clair
Oohaahooh Petunia
That’s a girl out of the ordinary
She can talk it’s not imaginary
Ooahou Petunia

They say it’s no good having a name in a song
Well if Lennon sang about Julia
I can write for Petunia

Oohaahooh Petunia
Ce n’est pas une fille ordinaire
Ses yeux nous parlent et c’est très clair
Oohaahooh Petunia
That’s a girl out of the ordinary
She can talk it’s not imaginary
Ooahou Petunia

They say it’s no good having a name in a song
Well if Lennon sang about Julia
I can write for Petunia

Pluie d’été

En pleine saison il fait si chaud
Les arbres dansent avec le vent
La terre humide est si fragrante
Le soleil tape sur ma peau
Et l’ombre d’un nuage soudainement
Le vent cesse, le calme avant la tempête
Les oiseaux se taisent
Voici la première goutte

D’une pluie d’été un amour passé
Et tu racontais qu’on s’envolerait
Loin pour notre monde parfait

La fraîcheur de cette pluie
Ramènera tout à la vie
Alors que les fleurs périssaient
Très bientôt elle s’ouvriront
Et toutes les roses resplendiront
Le vent cesse, le calme avant la tempête
Les oiseaux se taisent
Voici la première goutte

D’une pluie d’été un amour passé
Et tu racontais qu’on s’envolerait
Loin pour notre monde parfait
Une pluie d’été
Mon amour je sais
Que la destinée peut nous amener
Dans ce rêve que l’on dessinait…

(Ukulele solo)

D’une pluie d’été un amour passé
Et tu racontais qu’on s’envolerait
Loin pour notre monde parfait
Une pluie d’été
Mon amour je sais
Que la destinée peut nous amener
Dans ce rêve que l’on dessinait…
Dans ce rêve… pluie d’été.

“Don’t You Know it’s Christmas” (Single)

I spent the whole year working hard day after day
There’s much to do I don’t think I can break away
I keep saying I’m putting up my tree this week
There is always something else to do it seems
When I walk outside I’m dazzled by the street lights
And the joyous Carolers, they’re singing:

Don’t you know it’s Christmas
Come and cheer the world with us
Don’t you know it’s Christmas
Let the season light your way
To new hopes and dreams everyday

I finally got to put all my work away
Time flies and very soon it’s the holiday
It’s not so hard for me to let everything go
When you are with me under the mistletoe
You got us a tree, let’s make it shimmering
Can you hear the Carolers, they’re singing:

Chorus X2

Ending: I hope these words will help you feel the Christmas spirit
and If you’re alone tonight, I’m with you with my music.

“Abolitionistas”/ “Liberty” (Prod. by Titus)

“Liberty” is an alternate version of “Abolitionistas”, songs are separate

On the top of the blinding white kingdom
They imprisoned the queen of freedom
In a room only filled with walls of stone
Leading to the loss of the world
She’s locked in this keep with all the wisdom
Waiting for the dove to hear her wish and come
Together they would slip away
Catch the dream of a final escape

This is the time to break all the chains
Life is not just a masquerade
Time to turn the page, Abolitionistas on the way (Get Liberty out of the Cage)

Looking for first true love and affection
They see she’s weak, in need for attention
They’re experts in evil machination
Manipulators of innocent hearts
She’s locked in this lie with the wrong perception
What are we waiting for to change her Direction
Together we can slip away
Catch the Dream of a final escape

This is the time to break all the chains
Life is not just a masquerade
Time to turn the page, Abolitionistas on the way (Get Liberty out of the Cage)

We have the power at any moment
To change how the story will end
Just start caring and giving
And we’ll see the world’s new beginning

This is the time to break all the chains
Life is not just a masquerade
Time to turn the page, Abolitionistas on the way (Get Liberty out of the Cage)
This is the time to break all the chains
This is the Key to a New Age
Time to turn the page, Abolitionistas on the way (Get Liberty out of the Cage)

LiLi Roquelin & Peter Lobo “SMILE”

I’m walking in the morning rain
Reflecting on this beautiful day
I can’t help but smile – smile away
I’m sitting in the morning train
Listening to musicians play
I like to share my smile – smile away
Just like you always knew

I longed to feel this way
We found each other finally
Life isn’t lonely anyway
Look carefully and you will see
Is it a reason to believe?
Love comes when you let it be
We’ll only feel this way – smile

I’m staring at the sunny bay
Thinking about you when you say
You can’t help but smile – smile away
Just like I always knew

chorus

Bridge:
I can see all the colors of the rainbow
Since you are my heart’s Hero
I can see your eyes glow
Now that I have you, I won’t let you go

Chorus. Smile away. Smile away.

Bliss of my Soul feat. R.e.a.P (Hip-Hop Remix)

Streets lights reflecting on my lyric page
Into this Spanish frame
I think about the time we met
I was looking for the cliff house
You helped me find it
Turned my head and gazed at the Pacific Bay
Moving and rolling at a slow pace
One wave would have its whole life
To break into the haze

The bliss of my soul
Carried by a wave
Would take away
All the tortures that were made
The bliss of my soul
Wanna reach the open space
Where the land ends
And the infinite stands

Couldn’t find the old castle
Only a postcard image
You said it’s been ravaged
In front of me only angry water
Captivating all my senses
I feel its power
I lay down by the sea
Like a lonely river
Moving and rolling at a slow pace
One wave would have an endless time to reach my face

chorus

Rap:
clear blue skies in my view I’m
chillin’ in a good vibe as I do my
thing everywhere I go
soaking the sun feelin’ the wind as it blow
releasing the bad and just go
clear my mind and insides
see the bigger picture I’m gonna design
this time is mines and I’m doing
more rhymes that I scribe with a blue pen
I do this
push so hard that its dangerous
releasing all the tension then I aim with
my vision and brain to find a way to make and take more change getting paid make us all rich
relax by the pool so cool with it
let go and just flow in tune with it
I’m Releasing the stress
pick up and clearing the mess
thanking god because I’m blessed yes

chorus

“Beautiful Sun” Album

Like a Feather

You’re so afraid to take the step
But it’s making you heavy
With a weight enchaining your feet
Everyday you’re unconscious
You’re not a little child anymore
Just let it out of yourself
It’s time to make a change
Leave the past for present
For your deliverance

Like a feather
Every minute you think about forgiving
Like a feather
Every second you think of all the freedom you seized
You feel… Like a Feather

You will see
When it’s finally done it’s easy
Old fears were holding you back
Everyday you’re now conscious
It’s not in your Life anymore
You let it out of yourself
It’s time to take a chance
Leave the past for present
For your deliverance

chorus…

That’s not right to ignore
All that you care for
You’ve achieved steep roads before
You see, you’ve opened the door

Everytime you’re thinking… you feel

Like a feather
Every minute you think about forgiving
Like a feather
Everytime you think about your relief
Like a Feather
Every second you think of all the freedom you seized
You feel…

Beautiful Sun

Where have you been
Did you come out to keep me warm
I just close my eyes
And my spirit flies
You relieve me from the storm
Hey beautiful sun
Don’t let me run
How would they survive
If they didn’t have your light
I can hear they say
You’re so dangerous
But I know they are delirious

Hey beautiful sun
Don’t let me run
Hey beautiful sun
Don’t let me run
Why do they stay away from you
They will live in gray and turn into shade
You make everything so pretty
Keeping me so happy
Hey beautiful sun
Don’t let me run
Hey beautiful sun….
….Don’t let me run

You help me thrive
You keep me alive
You take me high
In the sky

Hey beautiful sun
Don’t let me run
Hey beautiful sun
Don’t let me run
Hey beautiful sun….
….Don’t let me run
Why do they stay away from you
They will live in gray and turn into shade
Why do they stay away from you?

Thank You

When I lie down by the tree
The sunlight beaming through the leaves
Onto my skin
Clear mind softened by Nature
This is my home, this is my garden
I wake up in the morning
I play on my grand piano
To feed my soul
Quietly sweet melody
This is my life, this is my freedom

Thank you for all I receive
The strongest power of all
I see it so clear
Thank you for letting me believe
Cos I truly deserve it all
I have no fear
Everybody deserves what the heart wants
Everybody deserves what the heart wants

I’m falling asleep on the beach
The stars are reflecting
Onto the sea
Staring at the Universe
This is my home, this is my silence

Thank you for all I receive
The strongest power of all
I see it so clear
Thank you for letting me believe
Cos I truly deserve it all
I have no fear
Everybody deserves what the heart wants
Everybody deserves what the heart wants

The complete freedom to create what my heart is crying
I am so grateful, I write this song for you
The complete freedom to create what my heart is crying
I am so grateful

Thank you for all I receive
The strongest power of all
I see it so clear
Thank you for letting me believe
Cos I truly deserve it all
I have no fear

The complete freedom to create what my heart is crying
I am so grateful, I write this song for you

Try to Remember

Listening to this old song
You start to sing it along
Lyrics of heaven and light
Didn’t you use to believe in that
Whispering all night long
You regret the times you were wrong
There is no reason to fight
Didn’t you use to see it all bright
Ahh-ahh-ahh Ahh-ahh-ahh Ahh-ahh

Just try to remember
It’s still here, it’s still you
Just try to remember
How much it means to you
You can go further in everything that you do
You can go further until your dreams… come true

Listening to this old song
You start to sing it along
It talks about age and time
You don’t have to believe this lie
Whispering all night long
You pray you will be strong
There is no reason to fight
You know you can see it all bright

Ahh-ahh-ahh Ahh-ahh-ahh Ahh-ahh

Just try to remember
It’s still here, it’s still you
Just try to remember
How much it means to you
You can go further in everything that you do
You can go further until your dreams… come true
Come true…

Living your life all depends on you
They don’t have to understand you

Ahh-ahh-ahh Ahh-ahh-ahh Ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh-ahh Ahh-ahh-ahh Ahh-ahh

Just try to remember
It’s still here, it’s still you
Just try to remember
How much it means to you
You can go further in everything that you do
You can go further until your dreams…
You can go further in everything that you do
You can go further until your dreams… come true

The Only One

You forget all your heartaches
That’s really brave
Everything isn’t set to break
It’s never too late
You forget all his mistakes
That’s very sane
There’s no need to drift away
Always a new day
And there is someone you already like
That knows how to open up your heart
Cos he’s…

The only one
Who makes your eyes bright
The only one
Who makes you feel yourself
The only one
As you had no hope left…
The only one that makes you believe…
You could love again
aaah…

Got away from the fray
No reason to stay
Everything isn’t full of pain
Always a new day
And there is someone you really like
That knows how to take care of your heart
Cos he’s…

The only one
Who makes your eyes bright
The only one
Who makes you feel yourself
The only one
As you had no hope left…
The only one that makes you believe…
You could love again

aaahhh
One day you said there are only fools
When you declare this you will lose
When he comes around you’re never down
When he’s around, you’ll never drown
Cos he’s…

The only one
Who makes your eyes bright
The only one
Who makes you feel yourself
The only one
As you had no hope left…
The only one that makes you believe…
In life
In life
The only one
As you had no hope left…
The only one that makes you believe…
In life
In life

Don’t Wait

If you think about today
Thinking it will be very long
You envy them when they say
There’s nothing wrong
If you think about tomorrow
Welcome what you’re meant to draw
Release what you suppress
And the bitterness

Please don’t wait
Life will not come to you
Let your heart say
What’s deep inside of you

If you finally awake
Listen to your inner voice
Forget all your mistakes
It’s your own choice
If your sorrow returns
Remember you don’t have to burn
Gather all your desires
And in the light

Please don’t wait
Life will not come to you
Let your heart say
What’s deep inside of you
Please don’t take
The night like a sign of ache
When your heart says
What’s deep inside of you

We can go flying
Along the wind
On the wings…. of an angel

Please don’t wait
Life will not come to you
Let your heart say
What’s deep inside of you
Please don’t take
The night like a sign of ache
When your heart says
What’s deep inside of you

One more time

Oh Brother

Written/composed by LiLi Roquelin & Sam Scozzari
I will always remember
All the things that you would say
And all the times we had together
And all the games that we would play

Oh Brother you were always there
To hold my hand
Oh Brother you were always there
To understand

And I remember every season
All the sun, all the snow
And sometimes rain
And all the sand upon our beaches
Brother are you lost somewhere In that sand far away

Oh Brother you were always there
To hold my hand
Oh Brother you were always there
To understand
Oh Brother you were always there

And one day you had your dreams
They seemed so real
When they told you
You’d see the world
What was the deal

And when I finally get my way
I will tell them that you’re gone
Because you thought they had told you the truth

Oh Brother you were always there
To hold my hand
Oh Brother you were always there
To understand
Oh brother you have gone away at the darkest hour
Oh Brother you were always there
I’m gonna say a word or two for you
I will tell them that you’re gone
Because you thought they had told you the truth.

N’attends Pas (La Vie)

Si tu commences le matin
en pensant ce jour n’a pas de fin
Tu envies ceux qui sourient
Et seul tu te perds
Si tu songes à demain
En accueillant ton destin
Oublie ce qui t’anéantit
Et les mots amers
N’attends pas
La vie ne viendra pas à toi
Mais quand tu poursuis
Ce qui est au fond de toi
Si tu te réveilles enfin
En écoutant ton instinct
Tu regardes ce qui t’inspire
T’es pas seul sur terre
Si ton chagrin revient
Tu n’sais pas, tu est incertain
Rassemble tous tes désirs
Et dans la lumière

N’attends pas
La vie ne viendra pas à toi
Mais quand tu poursuis
Ce qui est au fond de toi
Ne prends pas la nuit comme un signe de froid
Tant que tu poursuis
Ce qui vit au fond de toi

On ira voler dans les étincelles
Des ailes d’un ange….

N’attends pas
La vie ne viendra pas à toi
Mais quand tu poursuis
Ce qui est au fond de toi
Ne prends pas la nuit comme un signe de froid
Tant que tu poursuis
Ce qui vit au fond de toi

Thank You (Acoustic) [Bonus Track]

Will you hate the rest of the world or will you renew your life?

Come and hear my story

Written/composed by LiLi Roquelin & Sam Scozzari

I walk the dusty streets alone
Without a home or a breath of my own
But deep inside my heart I’ve known
It’s a dream of mine I can’t let go
But it’s the way that you are different
Not just the way you are the same

I am here to stay
Come and hear my story
It’s in my heart every day
Come and hear my story
Every day, every day

Every time I take my measure
Every metre and mile and hour
It’s your love I’ve come to treasure
It’s your love that gives me so much power
When you live right in this moment
Understand it’s the way you play the game

I am here to stay
Come and hear my story
It’s in my heart every day
Come and hear my story
Every day, every day

talalalala…

I am here to stay
Come and hear my story
It’s in my heart every day
Come and hear my story
Every day, every day, every day

When you live right in this moment
Understand it’s the way you play the game.

 

Should get mad

Should you get mad
The real mission
Nothing but occupy
Should you get mad
They’ll repeat again in a new time

I had a strange dream last night
Flying in space to a star
We landed easily
We had evolved, we could breathe
Is it the only way you think Tell me
Everything was grey with dirt
I saw Earth

Should you get mad
The real mission
Nothing but occupy
Should you get mad
They’ll repeat again in a new time

I had the worst dream last night
Lying in a place so far
They invaded easily
A new Empire to ruin
Is it the only way you think, Tell me
On my left I remember I saw Earth

Should you get mad
The real mission
Nothing but occupy
Should you get mad
They’ll repeat again in a new time
They’ll repeat again in a new time
ooh-ooh-ooh…

Should you get mad
The real mission
Nothing but occupy
Should you get mad
The motivation to monopolize
Should you get mad
They’ll repeat again in a new time

Give you my love

Long days I’ve been waiting
For you to ring my phone
When I wake up in the morning
I know I’ll be alone
My chest aches from my heart
Screaming and crying inside
But don’t worry I am fine
I have this life
I’m not lost on my own

All I wanted to ask
Was to have one night to hold you
And give you my love
Why didn’t I ask
To have one night
To stare at you
And give you my love

Long years I’ve been waiting
To write another love song
My soul was told it was wrong
It wanted to keep creating
The songs of heartaches really can’t describe
But don’t worry I am fine
I have this life
Not empty on my own

All I wanted to ask
Was to have one night to hold you
And give you my love
Why didn’t I ask
To have one night
To stare at you
And give you my love
And give you my love

I thought I knew sorrow
The tears from the past were below
Please don’t refuse, don’t refuse to see
Without you it’s misery…

All I wanted to ask
Was to have one night to hold you
And give you my love
Why didn’t I ask
To have one night
To stare at you
And give you my love
And give you my love

Keep this for you

I’m skipping stones on the river
From the other side
You hear a sound
I can see you talk
But I can’t hear a word
You’re too far from the shore
And I won’t cross

Shambles in your mind
Keep this for you
Let me climb up the hills
I won’t do it for you

I’m running through the dark woods
When the moon is full
I won’t change my mood
I hear the calling
The wind blowing
I’m too far from this world
And I won’t return

Shambles in your mind
Keep this for you
Let me climb up the hills
I won’t do it for you
Shambles in your mind
Keep this for you
Let me climb up the hills
I won’t do it for you

(synth solo)

No drowning dreams
In your conscience

Shambles in your mind
Keep this for you
Let me climb up the hills
I won’t do it for you

Never go

Where is your dream
You lost it again
In this madness
It can’t sustain
Aaaah
Where is the muse
Assassinated
What to do
To resurrect it
Aaaah

So I will never go
And I will never flow
In this life so monotone
I can’t be just typical
And I will never go

Where is your dream
It slipped away
With thieves around
You can’t keep it
Aaah
What did you lose
When you let them choose
What to do
When destitute
Aaah

So I will never go
And I will never flow
In this life so monotone
I can’t be just typical
And I will never go

(piano break)

Is this a part of it
Is this a part of this way
Do we have to travel alone to stay on it
On it
On it
On it
Oooh

So I will never go
In this life so monotone
That’s not me being
Ordinary

How we grow

It’s like it was yesterday
We were fifteen
What happened to all of us
Some disappeared
Some followed their dream
Some blamed their friendships
Have you ever wondered…

How we grow
We’ll never know where we’ll end
How we grow
We’ll never know where we’ll stand
We thought we knew each other
We’d always be in touch
We forgot
We’re not immune to change
We forgot
We’re not immune to change

It’s like it was yesterday
School seemed too long
What happened to all the words
Drawn on the tables
Some got erased
Some stayed in our heads
Have you ever wondered…

How we grow
We’ll never know where we’ll end
How we grow
We’ll never know where we’ll stand
We thought we knew the Future
We’d always be in touch
We forgot
We’re not immune to change
We forgot
We’re not immune to change

When I talk to you
I see careless moments
Tasting independence
Is it surprising to see what we have become

How we grow
We’ll never know where we’ll end

Sally’s song (French)

© 1993 Buena Vista Music Company.

Il y a une ombre dans le vent…
Je crois qu’une tragédie m’attend…
Comment lui avouer comme je l’aime
Sans lui faire part de mes problèmes?
Le pire est encore à venir…

Sait-il que pour lui je donnerais ma vie?
Je rêve souvent qu’il m’aime éperdument…
Même si c’est un tourment

Que deviendra mon bon ami?
Où nous conduira sa folie?
Autour de moi, tout le monde l’acclame
Mais je brûle d’une toute autre flamme
Parfois, la vie me semble un drame

Saura-t-il un jour m’offrir son amour?
No I think not… It’s never to Become…. For I am not… The One.

Renew

Mmmh… I’ve been wondering, should I write about this?

You couldn’t stand her bliss
You had to do your best
To destroy it
Turn it all black
You manipulated everyone to put her in a trapt
OohOohOoh

Cos everything she has you want to own it
OohOohOoh
Everything she sings you want to write it
OohOohOoh
What you see she had to fight for it
Tadadadada
She had no fear of changes
Will you hate the rest of the world or will you renew your…
Life.

You wanted her dismissed
You thought you’d just persist
Look, you can find the strength for that
Can’t you use this drive for your own rise
OohOohOoh

Chorus

Did you like it, implosion
Like an angry wind blowing in your face
Did you like being cruel?
You didn’t win
She’s still vivid

What you see she had to fight for it
Is it the only night you cry cos I lied
What did you do again to deserve this
I know you’ll never go and I don’t know why
And it’s putting me down
And it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
Tadadadada
She had no fear of changes
Will you hate the rest of the world or will you renew your…
Life.

Keep this for You (acoustic)

Blues Alone

Is it the only night you cry ‘cos I lied
What did you do again to deserve this
I know you’ll never go and I don’t know why
And it’s putting me down
And it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright

I got the blues alone
Is it such a bad thing?
When noone’s here to help
So I will just complain, again and again

All the reasons why I sigh everytime
In my way you placed something bad
I know you’ll never grow and I don’t know why
And it’s putting me down
And it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright

I got the blues alone
Is it such a bad thing?
When noone’s here to help
So I will just complain, again and again
I got the blues blown,
Is it a terrible thing?
When noone’s here to tell
Another time again, again and again.

And I’m scared of this too
I don’t care what you gonna do…

I got the blues alone again
When noone’s here, noone’s here, noone’s here to help
Is it a terrible thing?
Another time again, again and again

Your Imagination

When I’m sleeping on a train
The motion picture can play
With the drama and the script
When the scenery arises
I wake up with a smile
Wake up with a smile
Oooh

If you keep your imagination safe
Soon you’ll realize
It’s faster than your words can speak

Your life can eat you away
The same round everyday
Look at what date it is
When the shiniest sun rises
Don’t sleep on the running time
Don’t sleep on the running time
Ooh

If you keep your imagination safe
Soon you’ll realize
It’s faster than your words can speak
If you keep your imagination grace
Soon you’ll realize
It’s faster than your mind can think
It’s faster than your self can breathe

Je voudrais peindre le paysage
Ajouter à ce gris un peu de bleu rivage
Du noir et blanc passer à la couleur
Et donner à la vie un peu plus de bonheur
(piano solo)
If you keep your imagination safe
Soon you’ll realize
It’s faster than your heart can beat.

Dare

N’est-ce pas assez clair?
Un nouveau chemin, tu prends ton départ
Même s’ils n’écoutent toujours pas
Il n’y a rien d’autre à faire
Ecris-toi une liste
De ce que tu désires
Même si tu pars demain

It always seems to be the end
Everything hoped suddenly falls
It’s not supposed to happen
I have to find a way to leave
This place of paleness and grieve
And remain forever the dreamer
The dreamer

It’s not always fair
Just take a new start, a brighter path
Even if they still don’t listen
Is there anything to dare
Write down a whole list
The things you wish to live
Even if you’re not a trend

It always seems to be blend
When something good has an aftertaste
You have to know this evidence
You’re not happy and maybe tense
Just remain forever a dreamer
A dreamer

aaaahhhhh……

It’s not always fair
Just take a new start, a brighter path
Even if they still don’t listen
Is there anything to dare
Write down a whole list
The things you wish to live
Even if you’re not a trend
N’est-ce pas assez clair?
Tu prends ton départ, un nouveau chemin
Même s’ils n’écoutent toujours pas
Il n’y a rien d’autre à faire
Ecris-toi une liste
De ce que tu désires
Même si tu pars demain

I Saw You

Forever on the road you stand
The little town where you stay strong
All alone you walk
Are you at peace in this land
oohoohooh

I know
All your reasons
They carry the tides to enlighten
I saw you

Forever you lay on the sand
Near the ocean where you belong
All alone, you talk
Are you scared to make a plan

I know
All your passions
They bury the past to enlighten
I saw you

I understand
You’re in your Mother Land

I know
All your passions
They bury the past to enlighten
I saw you

I saw you
Living the life you care
I saw you
Living the life you care.



Your Design

You think you can judge me
Or everything that I’m doin’
you’re giving me directions
About something you can’t recognize
you don’t leave me any option
Making me feel I’m unwise
you think you know it all
Ce qui compte c’est le control

when are you gonna open up your mind
I can’t be what you’ve defined
Stop being blind
open up your mind
noone cares if you reply
You always deny.
the world never becomes your design.

You think you set the limits
and I heard your critics
there’s no right time for action
And I can do what I decide
I don’t wait for the motion
to take me for a ride
I think I can do it all
Ce qui compte c’est ma parole

when are you gonna open up your mind
I can’t be what you’ve defined
Stop being blind
open up your mind
noone cares if you reply
You always deny.
the world never becomes your design.

aah, your plan is falling down
aah, you’ll end up in the ground

when are you gonna open up your mind
I can’t be what you’ve defined
Stop being blind
open up your mind
noone cares if you reply
You always deny.
the world never becomes your design.
the world never becomes your design.

Neverending Sundown Lyrics


Erase It Slow

Is it ever gonna quit confusing
aaah
Your nightmares mix
The sun from there and the people from here
You find the light in your intuition
aaah

For all you missed for so long
For the same road you walk on and on

Is it ever gonna quit confusing…..aah
Your nightmares mix
The sound from there and the voices from here
You take the light from your intuition
You survive with your inspiration

For all you missed for so long
For the same road you walk on and on
For all you missed for so long
For the same road you walk on and on
Is it the only right, is it the only right

Look down the deep ravine as the red rocks roll and fall
Where you threw the souvenir, the vibration still calls
Take care of your sorrow, erase it slow.


Bitter End

eeee-eeee-eeeeh
A mask of the weakness to not face
That everything you wish is always less
At the end you failed: you were sent to Hell
Yes in the end you failed, you were sent to

Seize what may fall, souls will never lift like before
Seas that may flow, words will never twist like before

A mask for your success to not face
At the end you failed: you were sent to Hell
Yes in the end you failed, you were sent to Hell.

eeee-eeee-eeeeh

A mask for your uses to not face
Yes in the end you failed, you were sent to

Seize what may fall, souls will never lift like before
Seas that may flow, words will never twist like before
Seize what may fall, souls will never lift like before
Seize what may fall

eeee-eeee-eeeeh


These Four Walls

On the top of the blinding white kingdom
They imprisoned the queen of freedom
In a room only filled with walls of stone
Leading to the loss of the world
She’s locked in this keep with all the wisdom
Waiting for the dove to hear her wish and come
Together they would slip away
Catch the dream of a final escape

Is this time to break all the chains?
Is this life just a masquerade?
Time to turn the page, all what bled was Hate

She’s locked in this keep with all the wisdom
Together they would slip away
Catch the dream of a final escape

Is this time to break all the chains?
Is this life just a masquerade?
Time to turn the page, all what bled was Hate.
Is this time to break all the chains?
Is this the key to a new age?
Time to turn the page, all what bled was Hate

We’ll never let it out
Even when it screams so loud
We’ll never let it breathe
Liberty needs to be free
We’ll never let it out
We’ll never let it out
Let it out.


Just Blessings

I tell you old stories
To have you dive into my soul
I call the endless seas
To embrace you and me
Look at the vision of my imagination
You’ll write the tale book of a revolution
Look at the vision of my imagination…and please

Come with me
Don’t follow them
Get into my reverie
Run with me
To the seventh gate
Return my memories

I tell you old stories
To have you dive into my soul
I call my old memories
To embrace you and me
Look at the vision of my imagination
You’ll write the tale book of a revolution
Look at the vision of my imagination….and please

Come with me
Don’t follow them
Get into my reverie
Run with me
To the seventh gate
Come with me
Don’t follow them
They all lie their pain
Run with me
To the seventh gate
Return my memories.

It’s not just blessings
The power is all in front of you
Now just don’t come back to find yourself by yourself

Come with me
Don’t fall in
Get into my reverie
Run with me
To the seventh gate
Come with me
Don’t fall in
They all lie their pain
Run with me
To the seventh gate
Into my reverie…


The Secret

Aaah
You’re standing in this room
Wondering
How you can make him disappear
The evil plan you’re starting to see
Will now begin your sleepless nights

To satisfy your sick desire
And camouflage the whole inside
To satisfy your sick desire
And camouflage the hole inside

You’re standing in this room
Wondering
How you can make him disappear
The evil plan you’re starting to see
Will now begin your sleepless nights

To satisfy your sick desire
And camouflage the whole inside
To satisfy your sick desire
And camouflage the hole inside

Aaah
Aaah


Shadow Of Doubt

Another place, another time, another sky
I walk right there now
Ooh

They buy your dreams and steal your southern star
To draw the scar and identify the beginning

This sour note telling me return to you
You are only one, you are only one.

Je ne sais pas pourquoi je pense a
Cette image qui me renvoie vers le pass
Le me sentiment qui me torture parfois
Toujours fi
Oh regarde-moi, presonne dâ autre ne peut le faire
Oh regarde-moi

They buy your dreams and steal your southern star
They identify the beginning

It’s closer than you think
You are only one.


Neverending Sundown

Believe she’s gone
When you’ll see her lying down
You’ll believe she’s gone

Everyone has wonders about life
Losing someone you love when you’re five
Is this the right thing to keep you alive?

Grow up as time goes by
When the sand glass gets at half
The loved ones fall into the past

I heard the words been denied
The truth says she gave out
I heard the words been denied
The truth says she gave out

Believe she’s gone
When you’ll see her lying down
You’ll believe she’s gone
For the never-ending sundown

Losing someone you love when you’re five
Is this the right thing to keep you alive?
Grow up as time goes by
When the sand glass gets at half
The loved ones fall into the past

I heard the words been denied
The truth says she gave out
I heard the words been denied
The truth says she gave out

Believe she’s gone
When you’ll see her lying down
You’ll believe she’s gone
For the never-ending sundown

Everyone has wonders about life
When you get older
Everyone around you wither
They’ll be gone forever.


They Say

They say he brings serenity
They say he keeps away insanity
He will never bring us back to reality

Your voice resounds
Like a scream through the wall
Arising from the daydreams
Your spirit plays
On a pipe organ and makes
These slow and long notes
Not far behind you

Anywhere, he is everywhere
They chose the wrong messenger
To kill the eternal scare

Your voice resounds
Like a scream through the wall
Arising from your daydreams
Your spirit plays
On a pipe organ and makes
These slow and long notes
Not far behind you

Anywhere, he is everywhere
They chose the wrong messenger
To kill the eternal scare
Anywhere, he is everywhere

They say he breathes serenity
They say he gives away insanity
He will never bring us back reality


Soldier

It’s a quarter now to the hour
Where I’ll find out who’s in power
It’s not my former, it’s me
Come closer now to find out
Who’s the one I heard about
It’s not my former, it’s the soldier in me

Chorus:
All those prayers
Won’t repair what’s done
The people are waiting, a savior can you save me just once

I can tell it’s getting to you

It’s a quarter now past the hour and I found out I’m in power
It’s not my former, it’s me

Chorus
I’ve done what you stated
This safety has betrayed us, we fall
Because the people are waiting
A savior can’t sleep safely
He led them down the wrong road
I’ve done what you stated
This safety has betrayed us, we kept it from them all along.
Ooh.

A Taste of Departure Lyrics


Wall around you

When you feel your heart is right
You wanna believe it’s in the past
Why don’t you look at me
Why don’t you look at you
Listen to your feelings, they’re trying to get out
They’re sending an SOS
Chorus:
You built a wall around you
A frozen fence between you and me
You built a wall around you
I’ll melt the ice of your heart
You built a wall around you
Tell your soul it can trust my might
You built a wall around you
I’ll bring summer in your life

When your arms hold me tight
I can hear your heart beating so fast
Why do you lie to me
Why do you lie to yourself
Listen to your feelings, they’re calling out loud
They’re sending an SOS
Chorus
When you feel your heart is right
You wanna believe it’s in the past
Why do you lie to me
Why do you lie to yourself
Listen to your feelings, they’re calling out loud
They’re sending an SOS
Chorus

SALSA NUMBER 4

I drive down to a club tonight
The Dreamers in Marbella
On la costa del sol
I enjoy
A nice sunshine
I want some spanish songs
To move me all night long
But I don’t wanna be on my own ooh

Chorus:
Quiero que vengas conmigo
Esta noche a bailar la salsa
Los Angelitos han cojido mi Corazon

You’d like a great party
Then follow me, to Ibiza
It’s a famous island
To dance hours
Till the break of dawn
I want some spanish songs
To move me all night long
But I don’t wanna be on my own ooh

Chorus

You wanna see real Spain
We can stop in Sevilla
You will forget your pain
I promise, you’ll be alright
I want some spanish songs
To move me all night long
But I don’t wanna be on my own ooh

82MPH

It’s 10 pm and it’s been a long day
I’m driving alone and far away
82 on the highway
I think I’m gonna get caught again
Oh-oh now he’s coming
I’m pushing through the speed limit
Chasing me for one more mile
I guess I will just give that smile
Some say that I am

Chorus:
Eeyaeeyaeeya-ah, eeyaeeyaeeya-ah
Eeyaeeyaeeya-ah, eeyaeeyaeeya-ah
Eeyaeeyaeeya-ah, eeyaeeyaeeya-ah
Eeyaeeyaeeya-aaaah eeyaeeyaeeya-ah

1 am I enter the Bliss Bar
The One on East 49th Street
I got a quarter in my pocket
But I want one or two or three drinks
Oh-oh there he’s standing
In front of me he starts smoking
I want a beer and I like his style
I guess I will just give that smile
Some say that I am

Chorus.

Bridge.
It’s 5 am and it’s been a long night
I’m driving in the morning light
82 on the highway
I hope he will get me again
Oh-oh now he’s coming
I can see he’s right behind me
I will show him where to follow me
I guess I will just give that smile
Some say that I am

Chorus-end.

Gotta Go Now

You want me here close to you
And my happiness?
You think just about yourself
Please understand me

Chorus:
I gotta go now
And be on my own
I’ll never let you down
But let me be
I gotta go now
Can’t you let me be
I know you love me
But let me be
I gotta go now
It’s time to move on
On what I’m hanging on
So let me gooo
Oh set me free
I was born to live

You tell me I’m not normal
To believe in dreams
I just wanna reach my goal
So, leave me alone

Chorus

I will across the ocean
Live my real passion
Just leave present for future
A taste of departure.

What is she looking for?

Why she always turns up boys
That are in love with someone else
Why she treats them like toys
She don’t know they are human(s)
She shouldn’t have tried to pick him up that day
Cos he’s my friend’s boyfriend

Chorus:
What is she looking for?
She thinks we are blind
She says she’s not so bad
She’s every night with a new guy
What is she looking for
Why she throws away boys
As she wakes up in the morning
Tellin’ em she won’t hear the phone ring
Main thing: she enjoys
She shouldn’t have stayed in this Irish Cafe
Drinking her Chardenet

Chorus

Why she breaks up with boys
Only after few hours
It’s too late to start a relation
She don’t wanna know passion
She don’t see her reputation getting worse
But I see her play

Chorus

What is she looking for?

Summer rain (pluie d’été)

It’s so warm, there’s a heat wave
Strong wind shakes the trees
It smells like wet soil
The sunrays hit my skin
Until a dark cloud gives some shadow
The wind stops, calm before storm
Birds quit singing
And here’s the first drop… Of a summer rain

CHORUS
Une pluie d’été
Un amour passé et tu racontais
Qu’on s’envolerait
Loin pour notre monde parfait

The freshness of this rain
Will give some life to Nature
As the flowers were let to die
They’ll open again
And roses will bloom and shine
The wind stops, calm before storm
Birds quit singing
And here’s the first drop
Of a summer rain

CHORUS

Une pluie d’été
Mon amour je sais que la destinée
Peut nous amener
Dans ce rêve que l’on dessinait

Bridge……

CHORUS:

Summer rain
A love passed
And u were saying that we’ll fly away
Far, for our perfect world
Summer rain
My love I know that destiny
Can take us
In this dream that we were drawing…in this dream…summer rain.

Deep Love

Portraits of true love around me
Like two lovers walking and talking:
I can’t live my life without you
Nobody told the same to me
I’m so lonely in this paradise

Love’s not in my direction
Heartache’s my destination
I’m so empty inside, I need some Deep Love

Love songs played on the radio
I turn it off cos it kills my heart
I don’t know where I will find love
Nobody could give it to me
I’m so lonely in this paradise

Chorus:
Love’s not in my direction
Heartache’s my destination
I’m so empty inside, I need some deep love
There’s nobody by my side
To hold on through the night
I’m so empty inside, I need some Deep Love
I heard many times the same old line
Rain was here to help me to cry
I know someday it will change
Someone will come and I will be saved
And right now I stand alone

Chorus

Some deep love
Some deep love – deep looove

A day in L.A.

When I open my window this morning
On the shiny Beverly Beach view
I guess it’s gonna be
A relaxing day
I wear my little
Black suit
I take my convertible keys
And let’s go
Oh no, I won’t take Harbor Freeway
Now’s your time
Get work outta your mind
I’ll bring you one day in L.A.
Let the wind come to you
Come with me for a day
A day in L.A.
A day in L.A.
Just in the middle of Sunset Boulevard
As I’m stoppin’ at the traffic lights
That guy on the left
Beeping his horn
He’s cute and he’s got
Nice sunglasses
He thinks I’ll let him move off
At the first
He’s wrong, I give him a smile and bye-bye

Chorus guitar solo

Chorus

No more rules
If you wanna be free
I’ll bring you one day in L.A.
Let’s go to the seaside
Enjoy the sunshine
A day in L.A.

Bad Blues

Don’t wanna get out of bed
I feel like I’m wasted
I think I haven’t slept
For a while
Last night I was out so late
I was in a blue bar
And playing the little rock’n’roll star

Chorus:
Please don’t call me
I feel I have a bad, bad blues
Please forget me
I feel I have a bad blues
All I wanna do today’s go down to the river
Lay down on the grass,
Under the sun
I’ll listen to Stillwater
And let the time pass
This is how I wanna have some fun

Chorus

Solo

Chorus

All I’m gonna do today
Just smoke a cigarette
Don’t want anybody
To hang around
Then I can go downtown
To the old music store
This is how I wanna have some fun

Chorus

I MISS

I miss the ocean
And the sparkling waves on the sand
I miss the blue sky
And the morning walk to the wild island
I miss the silence
Of the pretty purple Provence
I miss the small city
And the late night train
Where I would write a song, just like this one
You wanted a song for you, well it’s this one

Chorus:
I don’t want to forget you
Unless you forget all about me
But when I think about there, a million miles away
It seems like it was… A million years ago

I miss everyone
Carry you everywhere in my heart
I miss seeing you
On every holiday of the year
I miss sharing with you
Running away on the Bay
I really do miss you
And will you come here one day
When will I hold you, I have no clue
I won’t come back, and you know why

Chorus.

Bridge.
A million years ago
I miss the ocean
And the sparkling waves on the sand
I miss the blue sky
And the morning walk to the wild island
I miss the silence
Of the pretty purple Provence
I miss the small city
And the late night train
Where I would write a song, just like this one
You wanted a song for you, well it’s this one

Chorus.

Lovely child

You wanna part with each other
You’re sure it’s the better choice
As your life became deadlock
But don’t forget how much he needs his father
And the protection of his mother
If you let him all alone
Here, he could drown

Chorus:
This lovely child
He’s not the one to blame
Lovely child
You’re not here to relieve his pain
He’s lost, he’s hurt
He’s wild
When are you gonna care about this
Lovely child

He watches his face in a mirror
His eyes full of rain and storm
Thinking that’s all his fault
Can’t find the way to feel like a feather
He’s trying to divide in two
His soul wanna stay one
He remains strong

Chorus

Betrayal

I thought you were a friend
But you hurt me a lot
I’m still suffering inside
I feel hatred inside
Thank you, now I can realize
Who are my endless friends
They never make me cry

Chorus:
Betrayal, Betrayal, I trusted you
Betrayal, Betrayal, I helped you
Betrayal, Betrayal, you can not lie
Betrayal, Betrayal, you can not hide

I forget I’ve ever met you
Cos you don’t deserve me
I don’t care about you
I must achieve my dream
I want, people to smile
And go find the light
They need love and music

Chorus

Bridge:
I must achieve my dream
It’s the only way to guide me
To people who need my music to light up their life
I must achieve my dream
It’s the only way to guide me

Little Picture

I was nervous before seeing him – mmh
I played a nice love groovy music – mmh
How could I imagine we’d go steady
The look you gave me when you came to me
From this moment on I realized there was something
How could I know I didn’t dream?

Chorus:
Just a little picture
Would prove to me our lives, crossed one sunny day
Just a little picture
An image to show it’s with me you stayed
Just a little picture
Where I’d see how much your look means a lot for sure
Just a little picture
That shows it’s not over I’ll know it forever

Spending the afternoon close to you – mmh
I didn’t keep out of the limelight – mmh
It was very easy to act naturally
We were in complete harmony
Your smile, the sweetness of your kiss were the best signs
How could I know I didn’t dream?

Chorus

Just a little picture *3
