Голландский дуэт Maywood образовали в 1979 году сестры Alie и Edith de Vries (Эли и Эдит де Врис) в своем родном городе Harlingen (Харлинген). До этого момента девушки пели в таких группах как "Ladypops", "Karina's" и "Colt45". Уже в то время сестры взяли себе псевдонимы Alice May (Элис Мэй) и Caren Wood (Карен Вуд). Сочетание двух фамилий-псевдонимов и образовало название нового дуэта – MayWood.

Темноволосую Карен и блондинку Элис вдохновляли такие группы, как шведская Abba и голладские Teach-In и Pussycat. Дуэт Maywood вихрем ворвался в европейские чарты с песней "You Treated Me Wrong" в декабре 1979 года. Песня имела ошеломляющий успех. Затем последовал хит "Late at Night", который в Голландии долгое время был на первых местах, начиная с июня 1980 года и появлялся в Top Five многих европейских стран. Следующим шлягерами стали песни "Give Me Back My Love" (сентябрь 1980) и "Rio" (июль 1981). Они тоже попадали в десятки популярности по всей Европе.

Пластинки дуэта выходили в 52 странах. Даже советская фирма "Мелодия" выпустила альбом "Different Worlds". В СССР эта пластинка вышла в 1985 году тиражом 20 000 экземпляров. Maywood многократно принимали участие в различных музыкальных фестивалях по всему миру: в Германии, Польше, Японии и Южной Корее. Популярность дуэта в Латинской Америке побудила сестер выпустить несколько своих хитов на испанском языке, что по достоинству оценили латиноамериканцы.

В СССР дуэт получил широкую популярность благодаря программе "Утренняя почта". Первый раз на центральном телевидении показывали выступление группы с песней "Pasadena". В 1990 году Maywood выступали на конкурсе "Евровидение", где заняли 15 место с песней на голландском языке "Ik Wil Alles Met Je Delen".

Тексты песен альбома Maywood (1980)


Late At Night

Between eight and half past seven
this place is awful quiet.
I have to do my shopping
and take care of my diet.
I run around in circles
and never see a soul.

Late at night,
early in the morning light,
you can see, see them all.
Late at night,
early in the morning light,
you can feel, feel them all.

Wonder what they're doing
this hour of the day.
What will be their temper,
what will be their pay?
Is there another meeting
about how to change the world?


Wherever you're going

Do you remember the first day we met?
Sun was shining.
I do remember and I won't forget,
but it's raining all week and the phone didn't ring
and the postman I knew didn't deliver a thing.

I stay at home, watch the people go by.
Familiar faces.
No one, no no one gives it a try,
to be nice, to be friendly, they all walk around
with a heart full of trouble, no answers they found.

Wherever you're going, I wanna be.
That's what I told you frequently.
But you have vanished, how can I manage on my own?
Wherever you're going, let me be there.
Just to be near you, I wanna share.
Now you have left me. Why did you go?

Don't have no sugar, run out of tea,
time for shopping.
I would rather sleep then to die wakefully.
Thinking how it was like when you were by my side.
Now I feel like an animal, trying to hide.


Let me know

Let me know,
when you've got the answer to all those questions from me.
Let me know,
If you wanna get married or rather wanna be free.
Tomorrow your are coming, and maybe you are running
away from the things I call reality.
Let me know, let me know if you really wanna be free.

Minutes passing by,
I wish I could be near you,
I wish that I could hear you.
Time is passing slow,
why wait until tomorrow?
Why can't you let me know?

Lovers for so long,
I know our life was sunny.
I was your little honey.
A simple little word
is all I want from you,
but I'm afraid it's gonna hurt.


That certain feeling

Sitting on my bed,
I'm thinking what a lovely day it could be.
If I went with them instead of staying home alone.
But when this afternoon the postman brought another letter from you,
I had that certain feeling,
I felt yesterday on the phone.

A woman feels when something's wrong.
A woman's mind is like a song.
She knows the time has come to part.
There's always one with a broken heart.
You cannot fool her anyway,
she sees you through on a certain day.
And when that day has come my friend,
it mostly means the end.

I read a magazine,
I red a hundred times, what else can I do?
The wind has changed direction,
the trees are waving me godd-bye.
Or do they try to tell me
take away those tears, don't be such a fool.
You don't have to worry,
he isn't even worth a cry.


I can't let you go now

Papa's sleeping out on Sunday,
Mama's making tea.
It doesn't matter what they
think about you and me.
I can't let you go now,
you know damn well, it makes me sad.
I can't let you go now.
One and one makes two,
don't forget.

This is quite a party,
so let's hang on for a while.
Please don't spoil the evening,
but show a little style.
I can't let you go now,
you know damn well, it makes me sad.
I can't let you go now.
One and one makes two,
don't forget.

I can't , I can't, I can't let you go.
I can't , I can't, I can't let you go.
I can't , I can't, I can't let you go.
No, I can't , I can't, I can't let you go.
You know damn well, my baby, that
I can't let you go.

All day long I'm working at the office, that's ok.
But when my job is done, let's do the things my way.
I can't let you go now,
you know damn well, it makes me sad.
I can't let you go now.
One and one makes two,
don't forget.


Mother, how are you today?

Mother, how are you today?
Here is a note from your daughter.
With me everything is ok.
Mother, how are you today?

Mother, don't worry, I'm fine.
Promise to see you this summer.
This time there will be no delay.
Mother, how are you today?

I found the man of my dreams.
Next time you will get to know him.
Many things happened while I was away.
Mother, how are you today?


Dance with me

Whatever you say, whatever you're doing, my darling.
I know every day seems like a present, my darling.
I'm ready for love, and so are you now.
Yes, I know, yes, I know that it's true now.

Dance with me, hold me tight, never let me go.
Cause the love I feel inside of me
gives me hope to carry on.
Dance with me, hold me tight, let the music play.
Such a perfect night for lovers,
can't it always be this way.

Whatever is yours, will be mine by tomorrow.
We share all our dreams, we share all the love and the sorrow.
I'm ready for love, and so are you now.
Yes, I know, yes, I know that it's true now.


You treated me wrong

Well, it happened on a day in July.
It was hot, no, the birds wouldn't fly.
I was sitting on a bench in the park.
Yes, I had to get up early with the lark.
And then suddenly you passed my way.
Didn't know what to do, what to say.
I just had to fall in love, it was a miracle to me.
But it turned out differently.

You treated me wrong, you treated me bad.
The things that you did, I'll never forget.
You just had to take what's in your hand.
You thought that your wish would be my command.

It was Mama who said: "No, don't cry,
forget him, please give it a try.
You are young, you're looking pretty, so what's wrong?
Oh, I'm sure a decent man will come along".
But that's not the reason why I weep.
Why I'm sad, why I can't get my sleep.
I've been fooled around, been cheated.
What's an awful thing to do,
and it's all because of you.


I'd climb the highest mountain

I'd climb the highest mountain,
but only for you.
Don't make me change my mind.
No, I don't know what it is,
I can't explain.
But I'm in love, it's your love I try to gain.
I'd climb the higest mountain,
but only for you.
Don't make me change my mind.
No, I don't know what it is,
I can't explain.
But I'm in love, it's your love I try to gain.

I can't forget you, and everywhere I go,
I wanna tell it to the people I know.
Is it so hard to decide?
Just let me know when you get the feeling right.

There is nothing to it, hold me close and say:
"You are my angel, every night and day".
Look in my eyes and you see,
this girl's in love and my love you hold the key.


Give Me back my love

I waited all night long,
just to see your face.
But you didn't show,
now I hate this place.
Never had the luck to find a man so true.
All I had was faith to meet a man like you.

Give me back my love,
all I want from you is to
give me back my love forever.
I let it slip away,
there was nothing I could do.
Give me back my love again.

People learn to write,
people learn to take.
All I learned in life
somehow it's all fake.
As a child I saw what was going on.
Tears were there each day, but tears could make me strong.

I always wanted to know you as a friend.
Those little things that you told me in the end.


One, two, three

I like to dance, because it clears my mind,
but all you do is stay far behind.
Stay near, I need protection.
We tried it once, it was a real good start.
We gonna do it over and you do your part.
Please don't look in every direction.

One, two, three, there you go.
It isn't very easy, but I told you so.
Feel free from trouble and sorrow.
One, two, three, you're learning fast.
You're looking very pretty in your Sunday best.
Don't worry about tomorrow.

When I am dancing with my man one day,
everyone will stop and look our way.
Thinking we just stepped out of a movie.
Believe me you can make it, if you try.
The problem is that you're much to shy.
Make it look real class and very groovy.


I'm sorry

Now that I'm older and wiser I hope,
problems are over, I managed to cope.
Oh boy, if I ever did somebody wrong.
I'm sorry.
Yes, there were times when I needed a friend.
But he wasn't there when I needed a hand.
I blamed all of you for misunderstanding.
I'm sorry.

Was it wrong, was it right?
I'm walking for hours in the middle of the night.
And standing alone, awaiting the light.
Where do I go?

Rio

Saying good-bye to friends,
saying good-bye to loneliness.
I'm on my way to Rio,
the place where I wanna be.
You know that I soon will leave.
So don't try to make me stay.
I'm on my way to Rio,
I'm coming back some day.

Don't you ask me why,
got to live a little longer.
Don't you start to cry,
got to be a little stronger.
Don't you ask me why,
got to live a little longer.
Don't you start to cry,
got to be a little stronger.

Oh-oh-oh Rio (de Janeiro),
Rio...o...o...o...o...
Land of sun, samba and wine.
Rio (de Janeiro),
Rio...o...o... I feel fine.

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in happiness?
Come with me to Rio,
the place where I wanna be.
Dancing the night away,
no time for tears and sorrow.
I'm going there tomorrow.
I'm coming back some day.


It's a different world

Different kind of people, telling me that snow was white.
In former days the grass was green, the sun was really bright.
You had to fight for freedom, that's okay.

It's a different world,
it's a different world,
it's a different world today.

Nowadays they drive a car at eighty miles an hour.
Years ago there wasn't all that traffic, so much power.
There must be some improvement anyway.

Don't look back,
the world has got a lot in store.
Wait and see,
people always wanna have more, more, more.
With all the ups and downs along the way.

Now that I'm a woman, I see them children grow.
And deep inside I wished, I was so little, but I know.
You can't turn back the pages so they say.


Gone without a reason

You walked me home after school.
You carried my bag and my jacket.
Most of the children just envied my friend.
They were so jealous of me at the end.
Maybe we lived in a dream.
Maybe we were only children.
Now that I'm older and now that you're gone,
I still don't know what went wrong.

My love (my love), for you (for you)
will never die, that's true.
Somehow I feel that I lost a friend.
Can I accept it? Maybe I can't.
Gone without a reason, like the wind.

I will remember your smile.
I will remember the morning.
Thunder and lightning came out of the sky.
I was so scared that I felt I could die.
You held me close in your arms.
Finally we were together.
Now that I'm older and now that you're gone,
I still don't know what went wrong.


You're the one

You're the one,
who gives my heart devotion.
You're the one,
who brings out deep emotion.
Can't hardly wait until you're stepping in.
You're the one,
who makes me wanna sing.
You're the one,
there ain't no doubt about it.
You're the one,
Oh, I could scream and shout it.
Can't hardly wait until you're stepping in.
You're the one,
who makes me wanna sing.

Wherever you go, I'll go too.
It's only that I wanna be with you.
Can't imagine how it'll be.
A world without your company is not a world to me.

Love is freedom, love is light.
Love is what they call a starry night.
No more questions, no more fear.
I feel my heart jumping the moment you appear.


Since i met you

I was alone when I was a kid.
I didn't cry, didn't worry a bit.
You get used to it all,
it's etched in your brain.
It's stupid to cry or even feel pain.
But since I met you...

Girls of my age, with their twinkling eyes.
Every day was for them a surprise.
But I could accept what happened before
and I could expect a little bit more.
But since I met you...

You gave me everything I need.
You made everything complete.
You're my world, my soul, my treasure.
You make me laugh, you make me cry
and I do not wonder why.
I'm released of some high pressure.
You took me in a world I hardly knew.

Reasons enough to walk out, but then...
I never made a serious plan.
I lived in a world so hard to survive.
And I never knew the pleasures of life.
But since I met you...


Pasadena

Come with me to Pasadena.
Today at ten we will arrive.
I have been in Pasadena
for a great deal of my life.
Come with me to Pasadena,
if you wanna have some fun.
Watch the dancing senoritas
in the heat of the sun.

When I woke up today,
I heard someone say:
"Girl, it's raining and they're expecting snow".
And this morning I knew,
what I had to do:
Take the next plane and finally go.

We are going to Greece,
take a trip to Paris.
To escape from the stress and the strain.
Saving money each day,
there must be a way.
To get out and discover again.


I'm in love for the very first time

I'm in love for the very first time.
I'm like a shop in the general line.
I've got happiness, laughter, joy ever after.
I'm in love for the very first time.

Yes, I feel that we must stick together,
no matter what the future will bring.
Now you've said, you will love me forever
and today I've got a reason to sing.

Let me always be with you, my darling.
Because without you, I can't live anymore.
When we're sailing together, my darling,
you will get me safely ashore.


Mano

I've travelled all around this world my friend,
saw many different places.
But I knew I had a chance to know
those old familiar faces.
All I remember is a sunny day,
a voice so softly singing.
Can you imagine how good it was,
the pleasure you were bringing.

Please let the music play, Mano, Mano, Mano.
Don't ever go away, Mano, Mano, Mano.
Pick up your old guitar, Mano, Mano, Mano.
You will become a star, Mano, Mano, Mano.

I had to go, it was a sad good-bye,
but I always will remember.
You held my hand and I started to cry,
but I knew I would surrender.
Until today I haven't heard from you,
not a single letter.
I suppose I must be thankful for
the times we spent together.


What a world

Joyce had her birthday, she was such a dear.
Oh, you could hear her singing.
She got a bird, she'll never forget.
Next morning, it's sad, the bird it was dead.

What a world, what a world.
Things that happen, sometimes are hard to understand.
Honestly,
what are we without a helping hand.

People I knew, remember so well,
the day that the bell was ringing.
't was for the greatest person we knew.
We all felt so blue, there was nothing to do.

Don't get upset about things that I say.
It's only my way of living.
Maybe I'm gloomy and maybe I'm not.
I just care a lot, can't help it, oh God...


Distant love

I liked the sound of your voice,
but did I make the right choice by choosing you?
I guess I was wrong,
but by the time I was gone
I felt so sad, so blue.
We went together through stormy weather
and when there was plenty of sun.
We drove away at the end of the day.
We were tired of having fun.

Distant love, how could I be mistaken by you.
Distant love, I was wrong in my point of view.
Finally saw what was going on,
but I did what I had to do.
Distant love, how could I be mistaken by you.

You said you would write,
you said it the night we had to part.
I trusted you then, but again and again
you broke my heart.
I will live on with the memory so strong,
but so hard to hide.
I try to forget we ever met,
but it hurts deep inside.


Just a little bit of love

Just a little bit of love,
that is all we need for the second day.
Is it hard to be a friend,
for a little while in a simple way?
Just a little bit of love
and a friendly face makes the world look bright.
And a shining star above
will help you through the darkest night.

When you feel down,
don't sit and cry the whole day through.
Don't wonder why
it all must happen to you.
Put on your coat, come over.
No, it can't be that bad.
Put on a smile, don't look so sad.

Don't walk away.
When times get rough you can't hold on.
Maybe some day
you'll be alright where you belong.
Put on your coat, come over.
No, it can't be that bad.
Put on a smile, don't look so sad.

[Romantic Warrior]

Тексты песен альбома Colour My Rainbow (1982)


Star

I wonder where we'll be a hundred years hereafter.
I heard stories so hard to believe.
They planned to organize a world with only peace.
I wish I could take look into the future,
with all its wonders and magical signs.
Will we be living on the moon in future times?

Star,
tell me all about the way it's gonna be.
No one has to know the things you're telling to me, oh no.
Star,
will there come a moment in my later life?
Where around the afternoon at half past five.
We lead a planet life.

I think it's fascinating how we live and handle.
Things have changed in a better way.
But is the future as different as they say?


Ask for Tina

The first time I saw you and all those little children,
there were quite a few.
I never saw a thing like that, oh yes it's true.
What kind of magic turned me on?
I wanna know them all,
I wanna have a picture hanging on the wall.
So we could always see,
how great this life can be.

Ask for Tina, Juan or Malu,
and they know exactly what to do.
I can asure you they take you away to dreamland every day.
Life is so pleasant wherever you go.
I can't explain and I don't wanna know.
Smiling faces, the deep blue sea, it's for free.

I wanna be with you.
I wanna know just every little thing you do.
I know for sure that you would never make me blue,
please have patience with me.
Fascinating land,
you made me open my eyes, made me understand.
Don't have to be alone,
I found myself a home.


Colour my rainbow

Colour my rainbow in blue.
Take me to much better places.
Baby come over and take me in your arms.
Let me there and aware of your charms.
Colour my rainbow, please do,
and I follow you.

Why do I get lonesome when you're far away
for just one day?
Why, please tell me why, I got to know,
I won't let go.

Some are about to run away when times get rough.
I need your love.
Stay, please stay with me until the end
my friend.

(Ooh, look at the rainbow)
(Ooh, look at the rainbow)


Get away

I leave a note to say that I'm sorry.
I have to go, it's better you see.
It's the right time, it's the nighttime.
I took some things I need for my journey.
Don't trouble too much, I'd rather be free.
It's the right time, it's the nighttime.

Out in the night I go like an angel.
I wanna run as hard as fast as I can.
And in the morning I reach the highway,
riding along with one of those highwaymen.
Get away, no one will notice my escape, gotta get away.
Get away, no one will miss me, it's okay, gotta get away.
Get away, no one will notice my escape, gotta get away.

I've got a friend in North Carolina.
I know a girl who lives in L.A.
It's the right time, it's the nighttime.
Believe me, I call as soon as I get there.
Can't hold me back, 'cause I'm on my way.
It's the right time, it's the nighttime.


If you wanna be free

Life isn't worth a single dime, if you haven't got the time.
Love, love is such a precious thing, hold on - it's everything.
Two, it takes two to make a pair, but remember baby.

If you wanna be free,
take your chance, don't blow it,
don't be afraid to show it.
If you wanna give it a try,
go on, try it.

Hands, they reach out to shake and say:
"We can make it all the way".
Some never get a chance to win, but it doesn't matter.

Hey, you're a stranger, but it seems,
I once saw you in my dreams.
Blue was the colour of your eyes,
and just now I realize.
Kids, we were kids, now you're a man.
We were fools together.


I believe in love

Let us live the way it should be.
Love and understanding.
Why can't we all live in harmony,
be happy with the morning light?

I believe in love,
final destination.
I believe the truth will survive.
Equal share for the rest of our life.
I believe in love.

Make a stand, don't be so weak.
You've got to know that somewhere
there's a place where we can live,
be free for the rest of our life.


Circumstance

There's a woman standing alone in the hall.
Waiting for someone to call,
a simple call to say: "Hello".
There's a stranger, asking me what time it is.
Maybe he knows what I miss tonight.

A circumstance,
where I wouldn't stand a chance.
A hotel full of strangers and me.
I said: "Good-bye, but let me tell you why.
I make my own decision,
don't need any permission.
Room seven-o-three, that's me".

Close the window and as I look in the night.
It tells me you can't stay inside,
forever...
Lost a fortune, lost all I had in one day.
There was no reason to stay,
oh no...


Be my man

Light up the fire.
Sing me a song of love.
There is a reason for every season,
for every star above.
Yesterday's gone,
we make a brand new start.
Falling in love is beautiful,
it lightens up your heart.

Be my man
and I will be your woman all the way.
No matter what goes wrong, I'll always stay.
Believe me.
Be my man,
if ever times get rough, don't wonder why.
Together we will give it one more try.
Be my man.

Light up the fire.
Carry me through the night.
Show me your love and give me the feeling,
everything turns out right.
Give me your smile,
give me your heart of gold.
We've got a lifetime
and in a life-times-loving we grow old.


Neonlights and glitter

We were young, much too young to fall in love.
Dreamed away every day, we couldn't get enough.
Times have changed, we went on trying to do our best.
Who would know, you and me my friend, it wouldn't last.

Neonlights and glitter,
names of high distinction.
Used to stop and stare,
now I just don't care.
I'm looking for new dimensions.
A crowdy street of people - don't understand
why I feel so lonely.
I'll be pushing them aside,
I still have my pride.
I'm thinking of you only.

You taught me how to act, to live my life.
But it seems, I'm better off with a job from eight till five.
Left my home because of you and I can't go back.
I feel lost, so alone, I'm wearing black.


One-way street

There's a thousand lonely people
and a million against the wall.
And I can't help the feeling,
I'm feeling kind-a-small.
Together we can make it,
together we are one.
We don't have to be on the run.

One-way street,
where there's simply no return.
Where we all have got to learn
to watch each step we're making.
Too late we'll come awake in
one-way street.

The reason why I sing this song,
it's just because I know
everyone must have a chance
and there's one way to go.
And on your way there's sorrow,
happiness and pain.
Get ready an umbrella for some rain.


Eres tu (You're the one)

Eres tu
el premio de mi vida.
Solo tu
la estrella que me guia.
El cielo se desploma
si te vas.
Eres tu
mis ganas de cantar.
Eres tu
la mano que me ayuda.
Solo tu
mi fuente de ternura.
La noche nunca pasa,
si te vas.
Eres tu
mis ganas de cantar.

Alli donde estes, estare.
Es imposible no pensar en ti.
Donde vivas, vivire.
Un mundo del que faltes tu
es frio para mi.

Agua clara, clara sed,
amor unico a flor de piel.
Siento prisa por vivir.
Mi corazon salta
si vienes hacia mi.


Friday night

Worked all day, it was a mess.
Did my job without success.
Better luck next time, they're telling me.
Why don't you get off your chair.
Go and get yourself some air.
Monday is another day, you see?

Friday night,
means you have to take a chance.
Friday night,
start the week-end with romance.
Don't know why...
I'm not in the mood to dance.
Make it right,
Friday night.

Wish that I could disappear.
I feel I'm not wanted here.
I never seem to make a move that's right.
Pushed away and turned around,
felt my feet upon the ground.
Move towards another Friday night.

Тексты песен альбома Het beste van Maywood (1983)


Show me the way to paradise

Slow down, you run too fast.
I need some time to forget the past.
Chances I had a few,
but baby, nothing can compare with you.
Bet you ten to one we'll survive.
You are my treasure for life.

Show me the way to paradise.
Give it all you got.
I know you got a lot.
Don't hesitate and throw the dice.
Maybe we will see
what's our destiny.

Hold on anxiously.
I wanna find my own identity.
Problems I had a few.
They say you'll get what is coming to you.
Bet you ten to one we'll survive.
You are my treasure for life.


Distant love

I liked the sound of your voice,
but did I make the right choice by choosing you?
I guess I was wrong,
but by the time I was gone
I felt so sad, so blue.
We went together through stormy weather
and when there was plenty of sun.
We drove away at the end of the day.
We were tired of having fun.

Distant love, how could I be mistaken by you.
Distant love, I was wrong in my point of view.
Finally saw what was going on,
but I did what I had to do.
Distant love, how could I be mistaken by you.

You said you would write,
you said it the night we had to part.
I trusted you then, but again and again
you broke my heart.
I will live on with the memory so strong,
but so hard to hide.
I try to forget we ever met,
but it hurts deep inside.


Ask for Tina

The first time I saw you and all those little children,
there were quite a few.
I never saw a thing like that, oh yes it's true.
What kind of magic turned me on?
I wanna know them all,
I wanna have a picture hanging on the wall.
So we could always see,
how great this life can be.

Ask for Tina, Juan or Malu,
and they know exactly what to do.
I can asure you they take you away to dreamland every day.
Life is so pleasant wherever you go.
I can't explain and I don't wanna know.
Smiling faces, the deep blue sea, it's for free.

I wanna be with you.
I wanna know just every little thing you do.
I know for sure that you would never make me blue,
please have patience with me.
Fascinating land,
you made me open my eyes, made me understand.
Don't have to be alone,
I found myself a home.


Give Me back my love

I waited all night long,
just to see your face.
But you didn't show,
now I hate this place.
Never had the luck to find a man so true.
All I had was faith to meet a man like you.

Give me back my love,
all I want from you is to
give me back my love forever.
I let it slip away,
there was nothing I could do.
Give me back my love again.

People learn to write,
people learn to take.
All I learned in life
somehow it's all fake.
As a child I saw what was going on.
Tears were there each day, but tears could make me strong.

I always wanted to know you as a friend.
Those little things that you told me in the end.


Rio

Saying good-bye to friends,
saying good-bye to loneliness.
I'm on my way to Rio,
the place where I wanna be.
You know that I soon will leave.
So don't try to make me stay.
I'm on my way to Rio,
I'm coming back some day.

Don't you ask me why,
got to live a little longer.
Don't you start to cry,
got to be a little stronger.
Don't you ask me why,
got to live a little longer.
Don't you start to cry,
got to be a little stronger.

Oh-oh-oh Rio (de Janeiro),
Rio...o...o...o...o...
Land of sun, samba and wine.
Rio (de Janeiro),
Rio...o...o... I feel fine.

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in happiness?
Come with me to Rio,
the place where I wanna be.
Dancing the night away,
no time for tears and sorrow.
I'm going there tomorrow.
I'm coming back some day.


Circumstance

There's a woman standing alone in the hall.
Waiting for someone to call,
a simple call to say: "Hello".
There's a stranger, asking me what time it is.
Maybe he knows what I miss tonight.

A circumstance,
where I wouldn't stand a chance.
A hotel full of strangers and me.
I said: "Good-bye, but let me tell you why.
I make my own decision,
don't need any permission.
Room seven-o-three, that's me".

Close the window and as I look in the night.
It tells me you can't stay inside,
forever...
Lost a fortune, lost all I had in one day.
There was no reason to stay,
oh no...


You treated me wrong

Well, it happened on a day in July.
It was hot, no, the birds wouldn't fly.
I was sitting on a bench in the park.
Yes, I had to get up early with the lark.
And then suddenly you passed my way.
Didn't know what to do, what to say.
I just had to fall in love, it was a miracle to me.
But it turned out differently.

You treated me wrong, you treated me bad.
The things that you did, I'll never forget.
You just had to take what's in your hand.
You thought that your wish would be my command.

It was Mama who said: "No, don't cry,
forget him, please give it a try.
You are young, you're looking pretty, so what's wrong?
Oh, I'm sure a decent man will come along".
But that's not the reason why I weep.
Why I'm sad, why I can't get my sleep.
I've been fooled around, been cheated.
What's an awful thing to do,
and it's all because of you.


Mother, how are you today?

Mother, how are you today?
Here is a note from your daughter.
With me everything is ok.
Mother, how are you today?

Mother, don't worry, I'm fine.
Promise to see you this summer.
This time there will be no delay.
Mother, how are you today?

I found the man of my dreams.
Next time you will get to know him.
Many things happened while I was away.
Mother, how are you today?


Late At Night

Between eight and half past seven
this place is awful quiet.
I have to do my shopping
and take care of my diet.
I run around in circles
and never see a soul.

Late at night,
early in the morning light,
you can see, see them all.
Late at night,
early in the morning light,
you can feel, feel them all.

Wonder what they're doing
this hour of the day.
What will be their temper,
what will be their pay?
Is there another meeting
about how to change the world?


My love for you

Underneath the moon and the golden sky,
we walked on by the sea.
Wake up and see how you're save and sound.
You look so heavenly.
I've made a wish upon a falling star.
I'm gonna love you just the way you are.

My love for you is like a Sunday morning.
Young and free, like a silent dawning.
I want you, I need you.
I'm gonna tell the world I found him at last.
My love for you is like a stormy weather.
It rushes by, but when we're together we know,
this love can only grow.

The warm expression upon your face,
in many ways it's real.
Sometimes I'm scared I might lose your love.
That's just the way I feel.
You're always with me when you're miles away.
Just let me say the words I wanna say.


Get away

I leave a note to say that I'm sorry.
I have to go, it's better you see.
It's the right time, it's the nighttime.
I took some things I need for my journey.
Don't trouble too much, I'd rather be free.
It's the right time, it's the nighttime.

Out in the night I go like an angel.
I wanna run as hard as fast as I can.
And in the morning I reach the highway,
riding along with one of those highwaymen.
Get away, no one will notice my escape, gotta get away.
Get away, no one will miss me, it's okay, gotta get away.
Get away, no one will notice my escape, gotta get away.

I've got a friend in North Carolina.
I know a girl who lives in L.A.
It's the right time, it's the nighttime.
Believe me, I call as soon as I get there.
Can't hold me back, 'cause I'm on my way.
It's the right time, it's the nighttime.


Mano

I've travelled all around this world my friend,
saw many different places.
But I knew I had a chance to know
those old familiar faces.
All I remember is a sunny day,
a voice so softly singing.
Can you imagine how good it was,
the pleasure you were bringing.

Please let the music play, Mano, Mano, Mano.
Don't ever go away, Mano, Mano, Mano.
Pick up your old guitar, Mano, Mano, Mano.
You will become a star, Mano, Mano, Mano.

I had to go, it was a sad good-bye,
but I always will remember.
You held my hand and I started to cry,
but I knew I would surrender.
Until today I haven't heard from you,
not a single letter.
I suppose I must be thankful for
the times we spent together.


Star

I wonder where we'll be a hundred years hereafter.
I heard stories so hard to believe.
They planned to organize a world with only peace.
I wish I could take look into the future,
with all its wonders and magical signs.
Will we be living on the moon in future times?

Star,
tell me all about the way it's gonna be.
No one has to know the things you're telling to me, oh no.
Star,
will there come a moment in my later life?
Where around the afternoon at half past five.
We lead a planet life.

I think it's fascinating how we live and handle.
Things have changed in a better way.
But is the future as different as they say?

Тексты песен альбома Beside You (1987)


Standing in the twilight

(Twilight, twilight)
I need love and some affection.
I need a shoulder to cry on.
But every time they seem to find out who I am.
Everything goes wrong.
I am a well respected lady,
being pictured the upper class (upper class, upper class).
I can't go walking around in jeans or shirt,
but I couldn't care less.
I wanna be there, hanging around.
I wanna be there, getting my feet back on the ground.

Standing in the twilight, darling.
Can't you lend helping hand?
Won't you take me with you where its peaceful?
Baby, try to understand.
Standing in the twilight, darling.
Every time you're watching me.
But will it live up to expectations?
Won't you keep me company?

I miss the movement and the action.
I miss the boy who called me "love".
The way he held my hand and sang me a song
about all the stars above.
Last night I dreamed about a party (party, party)
and every one was there.
I miss his tender smile, how he once in a while
was messing up my hair.
I wanna be there, hanging around.
I wanna be there, getting my feet back on the ground.

(Twilight, twilight, twilight, twilight)
(Twilight, twilight, twilight, twilight)


Break away

One thing I know, I will survive.
And you're not passing judgement on how I run my life.
Feel the need to make it right,
'cause if life takes you under,
you're such a sorry sight.
In this crazy life you can't turn back the pages.
The scars won't heal the memories, but you try.
Nothing's gonna last forever.

Wouldn't you like to come with me?
(I) can't find a reason why I'd stay.
I thought I could make it,
but I just couldn't shake it.
Wouldn't you like to break away?

Look at me, I'm free at last
and for those who really know me:
I only gave my best.
There were times I compromised,
but baby in return they're throwing dust in my eyes.
Well I've been there without taking half the chances.
The life I lead without a finish line
isn't gonna last forever.


If you need a friend

Whatever it takes, I'm gonna be right beside you.
I know you'll understand one day, baby.
You can make it alone, I wanna be there to guide you.
So please don't send me away.
I see that sad look in your eyes.
But maybe we can find our paradise.

If you need a friend,
you can always count on my love.
If you're down and out,
just cry out loud for my love.
('cause) I will help you on your feet.
So if I'm the one you need,
here's my, here's my love.

Turn on the light, let's get the party started.
For old time's sake, yeah.
Many a nights, you left someone broken-hearted.
There'll be no more hearts to break, no.
We have been waiting for too long.
Now there's a dream to build our world upon.


Turn to me

Sometimes you felt so strong, you could have touched the sky.
Can you remember how we tried to catch a butterfly?
You even cheered me up, my funny clown.
Now I'm the one who is trying to save you from going down.

Why does it hurt so much to feel you're going nowhere?
Me and my shadow used to have an awful lot to share.
Forget about everything, come rain come shine.
Don't try to force your luck, 'cause it will come in time.

Don't you walk away when times get rough,
'cause all it takes is a little love.
I could never face the night alone,
knowing you're out there on your own.
So, if you need some company,
turn to me.

I've got a right to know what's going on.
After so many years we never could have been that wrong.
Let's follow the neon lights like we used to do.
This little change of plan won't keep me from loving you.


Hard time

You always stood for faith and loyalty.
The words you said, the things you promised me
faded away like mist on a rainy night.
How can you be so unpredictable?
I think I never was so flexible.
How can it feel so wrong,
when it should feel so right?...so right.

You're giving me a hard time.
What happened to devotion?
Show some of your emotion and then
we gonna start all over again.
You're giving me a rough time.
It should be something special.
I think you got a right to be free,
but watch out what you're doing to me.
You're giving me a hard time.

You make me feel like I'm invisible.
Without your love I feel so miserable.
Somebody must have changed you while I wasn't there.
How could I know there was a part of you
you never showed, I never really knew.
I'm making my final move,
you've got to search elsewhere!...elsewhere.


Stay with me

I wanna wake up and see your face.
A sight so full of emotion.
Life is only a dream away.
I'll be your guide till the break of day.
And you'll inspire me again and again.

So many memories stay inside,
so many words unspoken.
You've become a part of me.
Like a leaf that belongs to a tree.
The more I think of you, I know...

Stay with me
till the end of time.
Hold me close.
We were meant to be.
Don't say a word, but
stay with me.

Life isn't easy, it never was.
It never will be for certain.
We're all alike when we close our eyes.
When we awake, there is a strange disguise.
A magic moment everywhere.


Live it up

Looking in the mirror.
Is this what I want out of life?
Crazy thoughts surround me.
Ooh, I feel I'm coming alive.
Gonna break away the fences,
taking all my chances.

Live it up, don't pull me down.
No use pretending, you can turn me around.
Who's gonna know what to do about it?
I'm alive! Can't you see?
If you got a problem, don't take it out on me.
You gotta know what to do about it.

I was kinda desperate.
Standing on my own two feet.
Now I've come to tell you.
That's the only thing I need.
Gonna break away the fences,
taking all my chances.


We're gonna try again

We're gonna try again, feel so strong.
We just can't go wrong, not this time.
We're gonna try again, because I feel
the love we share is real
So, don't give up, remember,
I'll be standing by.
We're gonna try.
(Oh, yeah)

Baby, if my love for you
will finally get you through.
I guess we're gonna make it somehow.
There's a place in the sun
and it's there for everyone.
A place where love will find us,
waiting right behind us.

Listen to the birds how they sing
and the joy that they bring.
I guess I never heard it before.
Close your eyes, take my hand
and let me be your friend.
All is forgotten and forgiven.
Baby, let's start living.


Morning hour

Waking up with a memory.
All I got is an empty pillow next to me.
Calling you to say: "Hello,
see you soon. I love you, but I have to go".

In the morning hour, when the day is young,
stay with me till the night is gone.
Will you hold my hand, never go away?
Can I believe all the things you say?

Make your choice, make up your mind.
It's either one of us you've got to leave behind.
Please don't dance around the floor.
I get more helpless every time you shut the door.


Help the children of Brazil

Everybody don't forget
at the end we might regret.
We never really tried, instead
we walked away.
Would you want to take the blame
for not helping? It's a shame.
Life out there's a rotten game.
What would you say?

I believe in it still,
help the children of Brazil.
Drag 'em out of the fear and the misery.
Give them glory and faith
and please don't let them wait.
Help before it's too late.
But don't let it be.

Many tears we have to dry.
Should you ever wanna try
helping out for God knows why,
You can't give up,
children need a place to live
where we all got love to give.
So show the world initiative
and let it stop.


When i look into your eyes

Underneath the stars baby, down by the sea.
Hoola, hoola carry me away.
Let your loving feeling shine on me.
Hoola, hoola every single day.
Let's not worry, show 'm how to do it right.

I love you, yes I do love you baby.
Some day soon you'll realize.
I love you, yes I do love you baby.
When I look into your eyes.

Everywhere there's music, you can see the people dance.
Hoola, hoola carry me away.
Can you feel the power? Take a chance.
Hoola, hoola every single day.
Let's not worry, show 'm how to do it right.


Lonely nights

Will you come to me in silence.
Oh, I wish you came today.
It's the magic all around you
that makes me feel this way.
While I'm looking out the window,
there's no telling why.
You're just a reflection,
an image passing by.

When I wake up in the morning,
there's your picture on the wall.
When I walk the stairs I imagine
you're waiting in the hall.
How can I go on without you?
Life just wouldn't be the same.
And in my dreams
I'm calling out your name.

You know, these lonely nights can really bring me down.
How can I go on living when I know you're not around?
You see, these lonely hours without you by my side.
I can't stand the feeling of another lonely night.

Can I hold you for a second,
feel the beating of your heart?
You're my dream, my inspiration,
my special work of art.
As I walk the street I wonder,
what am I suppose to do?
Why don't you come back?
I'll be waiting here for you.

[Romantic Warrior]

Тексты песен альбома Achter De Horizon (1990)


Ik blijf naar jou verlangen

Ik dacht het is nu wel genoeg
en zei doodgewoon het is over.
We hebben het samen wel goed,
maar ik ben liever vrij.
Je bracht me nog naar het station,
ik kuste je zonder te huilen.
Maar nu ik alleen ben weet ik pas
hoeveel jou liefde betekent voor mij.

Ik blijf naar jou verlangen.
Want je hebt m'n hart gevangen
en wat ik ook doe,
ik voel dat ik van je hou.
Een vogel die door stormwind
toch altijd zijn eigen nest vind
en waar je ook bent,
ik kom weer terug naar jou.

Jou ogen zo diep als de zee,
jou stem die me zoveel vertelde.
Jou hand die me streelde
wanneer ik verdriet had of pijn.
De dagen die duren zolang
en s'nachts kan ik enkel maar dromen
van jou mond die de weg wist naar al m'n geheimen.
Oh, kon ik maar weer bij jou zijn.


Kom in m'n armen

Nooit had ik dat fijn gevoel,
dat iemand om mij gaf.
Geluk waar ieder naar verlangt
keerde zich van mij af.
Alle dagen grijs en grauw,
maar toen eindelijk vond ik jou.

Kom in m'n armen,
laat me voelen dat je van me houd.
Nooit heb ik iemand zoveel vertrouwt.
Oh, kom in m'n armen
en blijf bij mij tot de morgen komt.
Al het andere is voorbij,
jij bent voor mij m'n nieuwe leven.

Ja ik was te lang alleen.
Dat geeft onzekerheid,
de angst of jij wel van me houd,
die ben ik nog niet kwijt.
Hou me dicht tegen je aan,
beloof dat je nooit weg zult gaan.


Wat zijn we met de wereld aan het doen?

Steeds meer bomen zijn verdort en kaal.
Gisteren zong de laatste nachtegaal.
Wat doen we met de wereld?
Wat zijn we met de wereld aan het doen?

Zelfs geen onkruid groeit nog op het land.
Dode vissen liggen op het strand.
Wat doen we met de wereld?
Wat zijn we met de wereld aan het doen?

Als een toverbal draait de aarde maar rond.
Vraag me af of ze weten zal,
dat de mensheid ooit bestond.
Kijk eens om je heen
en geniet nog een keer.
Als wij zo door blijven gaan,
is het met ons gedaan.
Dan kan het echt niet meer.

Kinderen spelen vrolijk met elkaar.
Onbewust komt naar de rund gevaar.
Wat doen we met de wereld?
Wat zijn we met de wereld aan het doen?

Donkere wolken schuiven voor de zon.
Dag word nacht
en nacht blijft nacht.
Dat het zover met ons komen kon.
Moeten wij niet streven
hier te overleven.

Gisteren zong de laatste nachtegaal.
Als een afscheid aan ons allemaal.
Wat doen we met de wereld?
Wat zijn we met de wereld aan het doen?


Klanken van weleer

Ja ik hoor zo graag een mooie symfonie
of weer zo'n ouderwetse melodie.
We gingen samen dansen in de dancing op de hoek.
Daar draaide men nog veel verzoek.

Zoveel liedjes zijn geschreven,
maar waar zijn ze ooit gebleven.
Het enige wat overblijft,
zijn klanken van weleer.
Ik heb een kast vol oude platen,
die nog eervol maar verlaten
mij af en toe eens vragen:
"Waarom draai je mij nooit meer?"

Aan de muur daar hangt een oude jazz gitaar.
Ik heb hem alweer bijna 18 jaar.
The Beatles of The Rolling Stones, nog een keer dat refrein.
Kan het niet zoals vroeger zijn?


Ik wil alles met je delen

Jij bent niet de enige die zich verloren voelt.
En al kwamen woorden harder aan dan ik ze had bedoeld.
Ik meende alles wat ik zei.
Ik heb ook geleerd om te vechten voor een nieuwe dag.
Is dat dan verkeerd?

Ik wil alles met je delen, wil alles voor je zijn.
En als jej me wilt vertrouwen, dan delen we de pijn.
Samen met je janken, samen uit je bol.
Samen door het lint gaan, niets is mij te dol.

't leven is een carrousel, 't leven is een straat
die eens doodloopt als je niet meer weet, hoe het verder gaat.
Even, ja heel even maar, denk je: 't is voorbij.
Maar ik hou van jou zoals je bent.
Hoe je ook van mij?

Als ik licht zie aan de horizon,
weet ik nog...hoe het was...hoe het eens begon.


Waar is onze liefde heen?

Vrienden,
ok we blijven vrienden voor elkaar.
Al weet je net als ik het is niet waar.
Dromen,
waarom zijn al mijn dromen nu voorbij?
Hoe kan ik ooit vergeten wat je zei?
Niemand anders jij en ik.
Niemand anders ik en jij.

Waar is onze liefde heen?
En elke dag de zon nog scheen.
Zoals water in de zee,
zo hoorde ik bij jou.
Waar is onze melodie
van geluk en harmonie?
Samen een en nooit alleen,
de hemel altijd blauw.

Vragen,
wat hebben al mijn vragen nog voor zin?
Een einde is zo vaak een nieuw begin.
Huilen,
waarom moet ik dan huilen om die tijd?
Het mooiste duurt toch nooit een eeuwigheid.
Niemand anders jij en ik.
Niemand anders ik en jij.


Hey, hey, hey

De koude winter is nu echt voorbij,
de zon prikt op m'n huid.
Ik voel ik moet eruit.
Een veulen dartelt vrolijk in de wei.
Een merel zingt zijn lied.
Een snoek schiet door het riet.
De zomer komt eraan.
De hoogste tijd om weg te gaan.

Hey, hey, hey.
We gaan naar Amerika.
Ho, ho, ho.
Of naar Gran Canaria.
Hey, hey, hey.
Naar Bella Italia,
of naar Appelscha.
Hey, hey, hey.
We gaan weer naar Griekenland.
Ho, ho, ho.
Een ver tropisch palmenstrand.
Hey, hey, hey.
Of lekker in Nederland
een dagje naar Katzand.

Er staat een leuke vent bij het reisbureau
en ik verzin een smoes.
"Zeg wat kost zo'n luxe cruise?"
Hij lacht en zegt: "Die geef ik jou cadeau.
Of wil je met de trein
naar Rome of Turijn?
Naar Zandvoort an de zee?
Ja kies maar uit en ik ga mee."


'T was in de winter

Ik ga u iets vertellen
over iemand die ik ken.
Hij heeft mij nooit boordeeld
over wie of wat ik ben.
We konden samen lachen,
hij om alles ik om niets.
Hij bracht me thuis in weer en wind,
achter op z'n fiets.

Je kan van iemand houden
ook al duurt het soms wat lang.
Om hem dan te verliezen,
ja dat maakt je dan weer bang.
Hij leerde mij te leven,
ja hij leerde mij nog meer.
Geluk is niet te koop.
Dat is een wonder iedere keer.

't was in de winter
verleden jaar.
't was koud en donker
en ik dacht het is niet waar.
De tijd gaat verder
een nieuw begin,
een nieuwe start.
Toch blijft het altijd winter in mijn hart.

Een doodgewone jongen
uit een doodgewone straat.
Voor mij was hij bijzonder
en voor hem was ik in staat.
Om alles op te geven
wat ik werkelijk bezat.
Al weet ik nu
hij was het allermooiste wat ik had.

Hij schreef me vaak gedichten
over dingen die hij dacht.
En als ik ze dan overlees
voel ik weer die kracht.
De kracht die hij me gaf
als je soms triest en eenzaam bent.
Toch voel ik mij zo rijk
omdat ik jou nog heb gekend.


Zonder jou

Jij hebt mij zoveel geleerd.
Alles samen geprobeerd.
Naar de sterren en de zon,
door de diepste zee.
Ver boorbij de top,
waar je alleen niet kunt komen.
Samen over alle heuvels heen.
Oh, waarom dan laat jij mij nu alleen?

Zonder jou
is er geen morgen meer.
Denk ik alleen,
wanneer kom jij terug bij mij?
Zonder jou
voel ik me hulpeloos,
ben ik zo rusteloos.
De nacht kruipt traag voorbij
zonder jou
hier aan mijn zij.

Gaf ik jou dan niet genoeg?
Dacht ik werkelijk veel te vroeg,
dat ik alles wat jij wou
aan je geven kon?
Meer dan wat er is.
Waar je alleen van kunt dromen.
Al mijn liefde gaf ik slechts aan jou,
vol vertrouwen dat je bij mij blijven zou.


Die regenboog bewaarde hij voor later

Hij was misschien, een beetje anders.
Hij was wat vreemd, niet zoals jij.
Hij liep niet mee, op platgetrapte paden.
Een zonderling, hij hoorde er niet bij.

Een jochie in negentienhonderd,
nu zijn z'n haren zilvergrijs.
En hij heeft niemand, om voor hem te zorgen.
Hij is alleen, dat is de prijs.

Geen bergen en geen dalen,
geen machtige verhalen,
hij was nooit een grote prater.
Geen wilde avonturen,
het zal zijn tijd wel duren,
die regenboog bewaarde hij voor later.

Als jongeman, had hij z'n charmes,
wat is er toen toch fout gegaan?
Als hij vertelt van vrienden en familie,
dan komt er in, z'n oog een traan.

Hij had een vriend, en was gelukkig.
Maar in die tijd, was dat verkeerd.
Hij heeft zijn dorp, heel stilletjes verlaten.
Maar was heeft hem, dit achteraf geleerd?


Manuel

Wat gebeurd is die nacht
kan ik niet vergeten.
Dat het zo mooi kon zijn
heb ik nooit geweten.
't is niet eerlijk, ik doe je verdriet.
Maar ik hoop dat je een ding toch ziet.
Ik moet gaan 't is voorbij,
vraag niet blijf toch bij mij
en kijk niet achterom.

Manuel,
de Spaanse zon zeg ik vaarwel.
Jij was voor mij een vriend,
veel beter dan ik ooit heb verdiend.
Manuel,
het leven is geen kinderspel.
Wie weet eens op een dag,
dan hoor ik weer jou heerlijke lach.

Wat begon al een vlucht
met een lat-relatie.
Maar voor hen die ik ken
was het puur sensatie.
Jongen wat ook een ander beweert,
een ding heb ik in het leven geleerd.
Volg de weg die je voelt.
Had je het anders bedoeld
dan kijk niet achterom.


Wacht op mij

Laat me dansen tot diep in die nacht.
Als de douw op de velden verschijnt
weet ik dit gaat voorbij.
Duurt maar even.
Pak m'n tas en ik denk weer aan toen.
Amper 16 vol plannen.
Oh, wat was ik nog groen,
maar ik wist ik wou leven.
In m'n eentje op die flat
heb ik alles op een rij gezet.

Wacht op mij,
wacht op mij.
Geen plannen voor morgen,
maar pluk de dag.
Een simpel gebaar
of een kinderlach.
Wacht op mij.
Ik heb veel van het leven geleerd.
Deed het goed en deed het verkeerd.
Met vallen en opstaan begon de strijd.
Nu wil ik liefde en geborgenheid.
Wacht op mij.

Ik heb genoeg van de geur van cognac
en de heren met cheques in hun drie delig pak.
Ga maar we met je plichten,
ik heb een job waar je mensen ontmoet.
Maar ze doen me niet veel
want ik ken ze tegoed.
Iedere dag
dezelfde gezichten.
Veel te vaak leek het maar schijn,
dat oprecht gelukkig zijn.

[Romantic Warrior]

Тексты песен альбома Six Of The Thirties (1991)


Dancin'

Anybody blue,
anybody needin' someone too?
Anyone feelin' cold?
No one there you can hold.
Don't wait to get old and grey.
I'm gonna blow all the clouds away.
There is nothing I would rather do.

Forget about the blues tonight,
sweet thing.
Forget about the rules tonight,
sweet thing.
I wanna dance with you
until the sun comes creepin' through.
I wanna dance with you.
I won't stop pleasin' you.
Ah...ah...ah...ah.

Honey, for a while
give a girl a chance to show some style.
If you got no love to spare,
tell me lies, I don't care.
You better believe that I,
I know some moves, so we gotta try.
There is nothing I would rather do.


Let there be love

Let there be you,
(and) let there be me.
Let there be oysters
under the sea.
Let there be wind
and occasional rain,
chilli con carne,
sparkling champagne.

Let there be birds
that sing in the trees.
Someone to bless me
whenever I sneeze.
(Ah) let there be cuckoos,
a lark and a dove.
But first of all, please let there be love.
Ooh love, let there be love.


Undecided

First you say you do
and then you don't.
And then you say you will
and then you won't.
You're undecided now.
So, what are you gonna do?
Now you wanna play
and then it's no.
And when you say you'll stay
that's when you go.
You're undecided now.
So, what are you gonna do?

I've been sitting on a fence.
And it doesn't make much sense,
'cause you keep me in suspense.
And you know it.
Then you promise to return.
When you don't, I really burn.
Well, I guess I'll never learn.
And I show it.

If you've got a heart
and if you're kind,
then don't keep us apart.
Make up your mind,
you're undecided now.
So, what are you gonna do?


I got the world on a string

Got the world on a string,
sittin' on a rainbow.
Got the string around my fingers.
What a life, what a world,
I'm in love.
Got the song I can sing,
and I can make the rain go
any time I move my fingers.
Lucky me, can't you see,
I'm in love.

Life a beautiful thing
as long as I hold the string.
(And) I'd be silly so-and-so,
if I should ever let go.

I got the world on a string,
sittin' on a rainbow.
Got the string around my fingers.
Lucky me, can't you see,
I'm in love...All right.


It's a lovely day today

It's a lovely day today.
So whatever you've got to do,
you've got a lovely day to do it in, that's true.

And I hope whatever you've got to do,
is something that can be done by two.
For I'd really like to stay.

It's a lovely day today.
And whatever you've got to do,
I'd be so happy to be doing it with you.

But if there is something that must be done
and it can only be done by one,
there is nothing more to say.
Except it's a lovely day for saying:
"It's a lovely day."


Swing medley
1. put on a happy face
2. you're nobody 'till somebody loves you
3. how high the moon

Grey skies are gonna clear up.
Put on a happy face.
Wipe off the coulds and cheer up.
Put on a happy face.
Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy,
it's not your style.
You'll look so good that you'll be glad
you decided to smile.
Pick out a pleasant outlook,
stick out that nobel chin.
Wipe off that full-of-doubt look,
snap on a happy grin.
Spread sunshine all over the place
just put on a happy,
put on a happy face.
Grey skies are gonna clear up.
Put on a happy face.
Wipe off the clouds and cheer up.
Put on a happy face.
Take off the mask of gloomy tragedy,
it's not you style.
You'll look so good that you'll be glad
you decided to smile.
Pick out a pleasant outlook,
stick out that nobel chin.
Wipe off that full-of-doubt look,
snap on a happy grin.
Spread sunshine all over the place
just put on a happy,
put on a happy face.

You're nobody 'till somebody loves you.
You're nobody 'till somebody cares.
Well, you may be king, you may possess the world and all its gold,
but gold won't bring you happiness when you're growin' old.
I see the world is still the same, you'll never change it.
As sure as there are stars shine above.
You're nobody 'till somebody loves you.
So, find yourself somebody to love.
I see the world is still the same, you'll never change it
(you'll never change it).
As sure as there are stars shine above.
You're nobody 'till somebody loves you.
So, find yourself somebody,
find yourself somebody,
find yourself somebody to love.

Somewhere there's music.
How faint the tune.
Somewhere there's heaven.
How high the moon.
There is no moon above
when love is far away too.
'till it comes true
that you love me as I love you.
Somewhere there's music.
It's where you are.
Somewhere there's heaven.
How near, how far.
The darkest night will shine,
if you would come to me soon.
Until you will, how still my heart.
How high the moon.
Somewhere there's music.
How faint the tune.
Somewhere there's heaven.
How high the moon.
Somewhere there's music.
It's where you are.
Somewhere there's heaven.
How near, how far.
The darkest night will shine,
if you would come to me soon.
Until you will, how still my heart.
How still my heart,
how still my heart,
how high the moon.

Тексты песен альбома Walking Back To Happiness (1991)


Walking back to happiness

Funny, but it's true.
What loneliness can do.
Since I've been away,
I have loved you more each day.

Walking back to happiness, woopah oh yeah yeah.
Said good-bye to loneliness, woopah oh yeah yeah.
I never knew I'd miss you,
now I know what I must do.
Walking back to happiness I shared with you.

Making up for things I said, woopah oh yeah yeah.
And mistakes to which they led, woopah oh yeah yeah.
I shouldn't have gone away,
so I'm coming back to stay.
Walking back to happiness I threw away.

Walking back to happiness with you,
said farewell to loneliness I knew.
Laid aside foolish pride,
learned the truth from tears I cried.

Spread the news I'm on my way, woopah oh yeah yeah.
All my blues have blown away, woopah oh yeah yeah.
I'm bringing you love so true.
That is what I owe to you.
Walking back to happiness I shared with you.


Stupid Cupid

Stupid Cupid, you're a real mean guy.
I'd like to clip your wings, so you can can't fly.
I'm in love and it's a cryin' shame
and I know that you're the one to blame.
Hey, hey set me free.
Stupid Cupid, stop pickin' on me.

I can't do my homework and I can't think straight.
I meet him every mornin' 'bout a' half past eight.
I'm actin' like a lovesick fool.
Even got me carryin' his books to school.
Hey, hey set me free.
Stupid Cupid, stop pickin' on me.

You mixed me up, but good right from the very start.
Hey, go play Robin Hood with somebody's else's heart.

You've got me jumpin' like a crazy clown.
And I don't feature what you're puttin' down.
Since I kissed his lovin' lips of wine.
The thing that bothers me is that I like if fine.
Hey, hey set me free.
Stupid Cupid, stop pickin' on me.


Da doo ron ron

Met him on a monday and my heart stood still.
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron.
Somebody told me that his name was Bill.
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron.

Yeah, my heart stood still.
Yeah, his name was Bill.
And when he walked me home,
da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron.

He knew what he was doing when he caught my eye.
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron.
He looked so quiet, but my oh my.
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron.

Yeah, he caught my eye.
Yeah, but my oh my.
And when he walked me home,
da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron.
Oh yeah.

Picked me up at seven and he looked so fine.
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron.
Someday soon I'm gonna make him mine.
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron.

Yeah, he looked so fine.
Yeah, I'm gonna make him mine.
And when he walked me home,
da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron.


Breaking up is hard to do

Doo doo doo dum, doo bi doo dum dum.
Comma comma dum, doo bi doo dum dum.
Comma comma dum, doo bi doo dum dum.
Breaking up is hard to do.

Don't take you love away from me,
don't you leave my heart in misery.
If you go, then I'll be blue,
'cause breaking up is hard to do.

Remember when you held me tight.
And you kissed me all through the night.
Think of all that we've been through.
And breaking up is hard to do.

They say that breaking up is hard to do.
Now I know, I know that it's true.
Don't say that this is the end.
Instead of breaking up, I wish that we were making up again.

I beg of you, don't say good-bye.
Can't we give our love another try?
Come on baby, let's start anew.
'cause breaking up is hard to do.


Lipstick on your collar

When you left me all alone at the record hop,
told me you were goin' out for a soda pop.
You were gone for quite a while, half an hour or more.
You came back and man, oh man, this is what I saw.

Lipstick on your collar
told a tale on you.
Lipstick on your collar
said you were untrue.
Bet your bottom dollar
you and I are through.
'cause lipstick on your collar
told a tale on you.

You said it belonged to me, made me stop and think.
And then I noticed yours was red; mine was baby pink.
Who walked in but Mary Jane, lipstick all a mess?
Were you smoochin' my best friend? Guess, the answer's "yes".


I'm sorry (oldie)

I'm sorry, so sorry,
that I was such a fool.
I didn't know, love could be so cruel.
You tell me mistakes
are part of being young.
But I don't right
the wrong that's been done.

I'm sorry, so sorry.
Please accept my apology.
But love is blind
and I was too blind to see.
Oh-oh, you tell me mistakes
are part of being young.
But I don't right
the wrong that's been done.
Oh yeah.


Vacation

V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N !
In the summer sun!

Put away the books, we're outta school.
The weather's warm, but we'll play it cool.
We're on vacation, havin' lots of fun.

We're gonna grab a bite at the pizza stand.
Write love letters in the sand.
We're on vacation, and the world is ours.

V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N !
Under summer stars!

Yeah, we'll hop in our jalopy to a drive-in-movie
and have a look at the show.
We're gonna hug and kiss, just like this.
And I can't wait to go-go-go.

We're gonna mash potatoes to a jukebox tune.
Park your car 'neath an August moon.
We're on vacation, till the start of the fall.

V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N !
We're gonna have a ball!


Queen for tonight

Just being here with you tonight.
I'm a queen on a throne.
And every time I hold you tight,
a palace is my home.
But will my kingdom turn to dust in the morning light?
I am a queen for tonight (queen for tonight).
But will I have a king tomorrow (tomorrow)?

Mmh, every kiss you're giving me
is a jewel in my crown.
I'm high and mighty as can be
with the treasure I've found.
But will my castle tumble down in the morning light?
I am a queen for tonight (queen for tonight).
But will I have a king tomorrow (tomorrow)?

You say that you belong to me
and I rule the world.
A queen in all her majesty.
Knowing I'm your girl.
But will I wear a golden crown in the morning light?
I am a queen for tonight (queen for tonight).
But will I have a king tomorrow (tomorrow)?


Let's dance

Hey baby, won't you take a chance.
Say that you'll let me have this dance.

(Well) (Oh) let's dance, (oh) let's dance.
We'll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potatoes too.
Any old dancin' that you wanna do.
So let's dance, oh let's dance.

Hey baby, yeah you thrill me so,
hold me tight, don't you let me go.

Hey baby, if you're all alone.
Maybe you'll let me walk you home.

Hey baby, things are swingin' right.
Yeah, I know that this is the night.


Blame it on the Bossa Nova

I was at a dance, when he caught my eye.
Standin' all alone, lookin' sad and shy.
We began to dance, swayin' to and fro.
And soon I knew, I'd never let him go.

Blame it on the Bossa Nova
with its magic spell.
Blame it on the Bossa Nova
that he did so well.
Oh, it all began with just one little dance
and soon it ended up a big romance.
Blame it on the Bossa Nova,
the dance of love.
Now, was it the moon?
No, no, the Bossa Nova.
Or the stars above?
No, no, the Bossa Nova.
Now, was it the tune?
Yea, yeah, the Bossa Nova.
The dance of love.

Now, I'm glad to say, I was bride-to-be
and we're gonna raise a family.
And when our kids ask how it came about,
then I'm gonna say to them without a doubt.


The end of the world

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know, it's the end of the world
'cause you don't love me anymore.

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't the know, it's the end of the world,
it ended when I lost your love.

I wake up in the morning and I wonder
why ev'rything's the same as it was.
I can't understand, no I can't understand
how life goes on the way it does.

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know, it's the end of the world,
it ended when you said: "Good-bye".


I only want to be with you

I don't know what it is that makes me love you so.
I only know I never want to let you go.
'cause you started something, oh can't you see?
That ever since we met, you've got a hold on me.
It happens to be true,
I only want to be with you.

It doesn't matter where you go or what you do.
I wanna spend each moment of the day with you.
Oh, look what has happened with just one kiss.
I never knew that I could be in love like this.
It's crazy, but it's true.
I only want to be with you.

You stopped and smiled at me, asked me if I'd care to dance.
I fell into your open arms and I didn't stand a chance.

Now, listen honey, I just wanna be beside you everywhere.
As long as we're together, honey I don't care.
'cause you started something, oh can't you see?
That ever since we've met, you've got a hold on me.
No matter what you do,
I only want to be with you.


Long live love

Venus must have heard my plea.
She has sent someone along for me.

I have waited a long, long time.
For somebody to call mine.
And at last he's come along.
Baby, ah, nothing can go wrong.

We meet every night at eight,
and I don't get home till late.
I say to myself each day:
"Baby, ah, long, long live love".
Ah-ha!

True love must be the greatest thing.
I know now, I sing and sing
of the moon and stars above.
How I loved to be in love.

Now, of one thing I'm more than sure.
Since love came, I don't want more
than to kiss him every night.
We make everything all right.


Will you still love me tomorrow

Tonight you're mine completely,
you give your love so sweetly.
Tonight the light
of love is in your eyes,
but will you love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure
or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I believe
the magic of you sights?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken,
you say that I'm the only one.
But will my heart be broken
when the night meets the morning sun?

I got to know that your love
is love I can be sure of.
So tell me now and I won't ask again.
Will you still love me tomorrow?


Sixties medley
1. i'm sorry
2. it hurts to be in love
3. my boy lollypop
4. breaking up is hard to do
5. locomotion
6. it's my party

I'm sorry, so sorry,
that I was such a fool
I didn't know love could be so cruel.
I'm sorry, so sorry,
please accept my apology.
But love is blind
and I was too blind to see.

It hurts to be in love
when the only one you love
turns out to be someone
who's not in love with you.
It hurts to love him so,
when deep down inside you know,
he will never want you.
No matter what you do.
And so you cry a little bit (it hurts to be in love).
Oh oh, die a little bit (it hurts to be in love).
Day and night, night and day.
It hurts to be in love this way.
It hurts to be in love,
day and night, night and day.

My boy lollipop,
you make my heart go giddy up.
You are as sweet as candy,
you're my sugar dandy.
Oh, oh, my boy lollipop,
never ever leave me,
because it would grieve me.
My heart told me so.
I love you, I love you, I love you so.
And I want you to know.
I need you, I need you, I need you so.
And I'll never let you go.
My boy lollipop.
You make my heart go giddy up.
You set my world on fire,
you are my one desire.
My boy lollipop, my boy lollipop, my boy lollipop.

Dum doo bi doo dum dum.
Comma comma dum, doo bi doo dum dum.
Comma comma dum, doo bi doo dum dum.
Breaking up is hard to do.
Don't take you love away from me,
don't you leave my heart in misery.
If you go, then I'll be blue.
'cause breaking up is hard to do.
Remember when you held me tight
and you kissed me all through the night.
Think of all that we've been through.
And breaking up is hard to do.
They say that breaking up is hard to do.
Now I know, I know that it's true.
Don't say that this is the end.
Instead of breaking up, I wish that we were making up again.
I beg of you, don't say good-bye.
Can't we give our love another try.
Come on baby, let's start anew.
'cause breaking up is hard to do.

Everybody's doin' a band new dance now.
(Come on baby do the locomotion)
I know you'll get to like it,
if you give it a chance now.
(Come on baby do the locomotion)
Do it nice and easy, now don't lose control.
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul.
So come, come on,
do the locomotion with me.
You gotta swing your hips now.
Come on baby, jump up, jump back.
Oh well, I think you got the knack.

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to.
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to.
You would cry too, if it happened to you.
Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone,
but Judy left the same time.
Why was he holding her hand
when he's supposed to be mine.
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to.
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to.
You would cry too, if it happened to you.
Oh-oh-oh, it's my party and I'll cry if I want to.
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to.
You would cry too, if it happened to you.

Тексты песен альбома More Maywood (1994)


You and i

With a touch of your hand, a glimpse of your eye.
I was caught in a symphony.
Maybe you came out of nowhere.
But baby I know, you're special to me.
When you held me last night,
this feeling of pride gave me wings so that I could fly.
Lost in your love like an ocean
and strong as a mountain high.

You and I, face to face.
Wonder if you know,
this world's a crazy place.
With every beat of my heart
I know the meaning's clear.
Everywhere you go,
I'll be waiting here.

I've been working all day.
Heard somebody say: "She's a quiet little mystery".
Nobody knows that I met you.
It's something so strong and sacred to me.
I'm afraid, but I'm sure.
Life never before gave me any reason to hold on.
Just like the stars up in heaven,
they shine upon a love so strong.


This broken heart

Life is full of mysteries and so are you.
A new horizon slowly coming into view.
But who am I to say: "You gotta go on without him".
Looking at your face it's such a sorry sight.
And perfect situations never last, that's right.
Remember all the girls that use to fight about him.

This broken heart won't last forever.
It's not worth crying over some romantic game.
This broken heart won't get you nowhere.
Remember you're the one who's standing in the rain.

Yesterday the city was a magic place.
Now you feel you really are a special case.
A teenage queen who's growing tired of living in sorrow.
Looking for an answer is a waste of time.
Believe me I have been there with this love of mine.
So promise me you gonna start all over tomorrow.


Mother, how are you today?

Mother, how are you today?
Here is a note from your daughter.
With me everything is ok.
Mother, how are you today?

Mother, don't worry, I'm fine.
Promise to see you this summer.
This time there will be no delay.
Mother, how are you today?

I found the man of my dreams.
Next time you will get to know him.
Many things happened while I was away.
Mother, how are you today?


Give me something

Got to be strong, got to hold on.
There isn't a thing I can do.
Telling myself it takes time to believe.
I got to go on without you.
Every step that I take, I'm aware.
Every move that I make, you are there.

Give me something to remember you by.
Give me one thing and don't ask me why.
My life is a mess like the sound of broken glass that is falling.
Give me something, my sweetness and light.
Give me one thing, anyway that you might.
Whisper my name, 'cause I'm going insane, hear me calling.

Doing my job, seeing my friends.
I feel like a human machine.
Shopping around and when I get back,
it seems like a terrible dream.
There is no telling why I'm depressed.
But I know boy with you I was blessed.


Blue sundaymorning

I was lost and felt in a trance.
Couldn't help feeling sorry and bitter.
I felt pity in this circumstance.
Can't accept just the thought you've been with her.
I could easily set you free,
but I know you'd come back to me instead.

Here I am waiting up on a blue sundaymorning.
Dazzled eyes and a heart about ready to break.
Aah-aah-aah.
Hey, I'm calling you (he'll be back again).
What am I to do (hang on while you can).
Tell me, how much more can I take, because...
here I am waiting up on a blue sundaymorning.
Here I am in the heat of a hot summernight.
Aah-aah-aah.
Hey, I'm calling out (he'll be back again).
What's it all about (hang on while you can).
Blue sundaymorning.

All the precious things I left behind
for a life full of heartbreaks and sorrow.
Lift me up before I lose my mind.
Make me shine like a brand-new tomorrow.
You can't hide what my heart can see.
Now, you made such a fool out of me, because...


Late At Night

Between eight and half past seven
this place is awful quiet.
I have to do my shopping
and take care of my diet.
I run around in circles
and never see a soul.

Late at night,
early in the morning light,
you can see, see them all.
Late at night,
early in the morning light,
you can feel, feel them all.

Wonder what they're doing
this hour of the day.
What will be their temper,
what will be their pay?
Is there another meeting
about how to change the world?


You're making me crazy

I can't believe it's true, I fell in love with you.
It doesn't really matter what the old folks say.
Baby, I know you well and no one can break that spell.
There's love enough, don't ever let it slip away.
And when the blues is gonna get you,
just remember I will make it right.

'cause you're making me crazy,
but the same time amaze me.
When we fight and make love on the floor.
You're making my heart sing
and I'm aware of this one thing.
You're making me crazy for sure.

I'm gonna be someone now that my race is run.
I can feel the warmth and peace in my heart.
You are my destiny, you bring out the best in me.
Nothing in this world can keep us apart.
Feel the power of love within me.
Reaching out forever and a day.


Give Me back my love

I waited all night long,
just to see your face.
But you didn't show,
now I hate this place.
Never had the luck to find a man so true.
All I had was faith to meet a man like you.

Give me back my love,
all I want from you is to
give me back my love forever.
I let it slip away,
there was nothing I could do.
Give me back my love again.

People learn to write,
people learn to take.
All I learned in life
somehow it's all fake.
As a child I saw what was going on.
Tears were there each day, but tears could make me strong.

I always wanted to know you as a friend.
Those little things that you told me in the end.


Can i hold you

Life is a melody, sing your song.
Words to a symphony, it won't take long.
Ready to run your life as you planned.
Ready to make your choice in the end.

Can I hold you, can I hold you now?
These dreams that you've been dreaming
will fade away somehow.
Can I hold you, can I hold you still?
We've gone through mixed emotions
and I know we always will.

You got to pay your dues, realize.
You got to sing the blues with tears in your eyes.
The great things in life will come for those who can wait.
Take off your painted smile, your masquerade.


Rio

Saying good-bye to friends,
saying good-bye to loneliness.
I'm on my way to Rio,
the place where I wanna be.
You know that I soon will leave.
So don't try to make me stay.
I'm on my way to Rio,
I'm coming back some day.

Don't you ask me why,
got to live a little longer.
Don't you start to cry,
got to be a little stronger.
Don't you ask me why,
got to live a little longer.
Don't you start to cry,
got to be a little stronger.

Oh-oh-oh Rio (de Janeiro),
Rio...o...o...o...o...
Land of sun, samba and wine.
Rio (de Janeiro),
Rio...o...o... I feel fine.

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in happiness?
Come with me to Rio,
the place where I wanna be.
Dancing the night away,
no time for tears and sorrow.
I'm going there tomorrow.
I'm coming back some day.


Losing you

Why does life go on like any other day?
Why has time rewritten every line?
Now I wonder why they had to take away,
baby, what was yours and what was mine.
Sorry, if I ever let you down my friend.
Guess, nobody's perfect, am I right?
You will help me find a way to understand.
And I will help you make it through the night.

Maybe I can't find the way I feel within,
but we will drink a toast my love to how it's been.
Living life was easier and yes indeed,
never felt so strong and more complete.
Maybe it felt better, 'cause we didn't know
there would come a time I had to let you go.
Seems to me that almost anything would do,
but never just the thought of losing you.

Lost inside your world, but baby just the same.
Crying in the night, but after all.
In my leather phonebook I still read you name
and the disconnected number I still call.
Could have known it wouldn't last eternally.
Sad to say, but therefore I can tell.
Somewhere there's a rainbow shining over me,
a magic wand that never breaks the spell.


Living up to expectations

I was heading for the office
when a stranger stopped and said:
"What a lovely day to say hello
to someone you've just met".
So, this crazy situation
kept me busy all day long.
He was more than just a stranger
and the next thing he was gone.

I was living up to expectations,
but you were hanging on to your sweet dream.
We would make this world a little brighter.
It isn't quite as bad as it may seem.

Baby, somewhere in this crazy land
the sun is shining bright.
Somewhere the man is playing
and somewhere hearts are light.
Somewhere women laughing and
somewhere children shout.
But the kindness of all people
is something we can't do without.

[Romantic Warrior]

Тексты песен альбома Cantado En Espanol (2004)


Pasadena
(Spanish version)

Ven conmigo a Pasadena.
Llegaremos a las diez.
El amor en Pasadena
es el unico deber.
Ven conmigo a Pasadena.
Si te quieres divertir.
Se respira en cada esquina
el placer de vivir.

Hoy tambien desperte
al amanecer
con la lluvia mojando la ciudad.
Mi tristeza tomo
una decision
suberimos al proximo avion.

Porque nunca me ire,
si no vienes tambien.
Es posible volver a empezar.
Nos debemos los dos
un mundo mejor.
Vamos juntos yo se donde esta.


Rio
(Spanish version)

Hola felicidad,
se termino la soledad.
Porque me voy a Rio,
mi sueno de ciudad.
Es firme mi decision.
No quiero mirar atras
porque me llama Rio.
Brillando junto al mar.

No preguntes mas,
tengo que vivir la vida.
No lo pienses mas,
es mi unica salida.
No preguntas mas,
tengo que vivir la vida.
No lo pienses mas,
es mi unica salida.

Oh-oh-oh Rio (de Janeiro),
Rio...o...o...o...
Festival de samba y sol.
Rio (de Janeiro),
Rio...o...o... Tentacion.

Si piensas como yo,
si necesitas escapar,
ven conmigo a Rio,
mi sueno de ciudad.
En su fascinacion
no hay tiempo para penas.
Lo dicen las estrellas,
que bailan sobre el mar.


Un poquito mas de amor
(Just a little bit of love)

Un poquito mas de amor
necesitas tu, necesito yo.
Una gota nada mas
para alimentar cada corazon.
Un poquito mas de amor
es la solucion casi universal.
Una chispa de su luz
nos salva de la oscuridad.

Es el amor.
Lo ves flotar alrededor.
Copa de miel
que nos provoca mas sed.
Es el motor del mundo
y su mayor verdad.
Abrete a el de par en par.

Es el amor.
Miralo bien, con atencion.
A ti tambien
te llamara alguna vez.
Es el motor del mundo
y su mayor verdad.
Abrete a el de par en par.


Loco amor
(Distant Love)

Nadie me puede negar
que te he querido olvidar pero no se.
Me sobra intencion
pero me falta valor.
Naci para perder.
Es imposible sentirse libre
con tanta ternura detras.
Oigo la voz del pasado mejor
impidiendome volar.

Loco amor
que domina mi voluntad.
Loco amor
que controla mi libertad.
Vivo fantasma de atardecer.
Que no me abandona jamas.
Loco amor
que domina mi voluntad.

Me prometi volver a vivir
y fracase me toca esperar,
lleva tiempo cambiar.
La vieja piel,
la soledad asesina mi paz
y empana mi luz
por eso quizas.
Quiero lograr que tambien sufras tu.


Mano
(Spanish version)

He recorrido el mundo sin parar
y visto mil lugares.
He navegado con mi corazon
por diferentes mares.
Pero tan solo puedo recordar.
Traido por el viento.
El encanto dulce de una voz
en medio del silencio.

No dejes de cantar.
Mano, Mano, Mano.
Invitame a sonar.
Mano, Mano, Mano.
Te sentiras mejor.
Mano, Mano, Mano.
Cantandole al amor.
Mano, Mano, Mano.

Fue necesaria la separacion
al borde del otono.
Nos despedimos casi sin hablar.
bastaba con los ojos.
Y desde entonces nada se de ti
ni una simple carta.
Pero los recuerdos siguen hoy
clavados en mi alma.


Llamame
(Late at night)

Me levanto sonolienta.
Las calles se despiertan.
Hoy tengo que ir de compras
y empezar mi dieta.
Me quemo nuevamente
con el primar cafe.

Llamame
vida mia, llamame
por favor, otra vez.
Llamame
vida mia, llamame
por favor, oyeme.

Vuelvo tarde a casa.
Abro la ventana
escucho los latidos
de la madrugada
y bebo lentamente
el ultimo cafe.


Callejon
(One-way street)

Hay millones de personas
contra el muro del dolor.
Batidas por los vientos
y solas como yo.
Si todas nos unimos
podremos encontrar
la oportunidad de escapar.

Callejon
sin salida ni final.
Donde es facil acabar.
Si no lanzamos lejos
los pensamientos negros.
Callejon.

De ti, de mi, por mi, por ti
escribo esta cancion
con la esperanza de llegar
a tu corazon.
En tu camino triste
puedes despertar
a cielos limpios tras la tempestad.


Ven a mi
(Be my man)

Prende la llama
cuando decidas tu.
Magica hoguera de primavera
en una estrella azul.
Sobre el ayer,
volvamos a empezar,
enamorarse sienta bien.
Se vive mucho mas.

Ven a mi.
Debemos comenzar a componer.
La musica del hombre y la mujer
de nuevo.
Ven a mi.
Si nada nos espera bajo el sol.
Tenemos que pensar en el amor.
Ven a mi.

Toma mi mano.
Se siente sin querer.
Con impaciencia, con la inocencia
de la prima vez.
Sobre el ayer,
volvamos a empezar,
enamorarse sabe bien.
Es dulce al paladar.


Eres tu
(You're the one)

Eres tu
el premio de mi vida.
Solo tu
la estrella que me guia.
El cielo se desploma
si te vas.
Eres tu
mis ganas de cantar.
Eres tu
la mano que me ayuda.
Solo tu
mi fuente de ternura.
La noche nunca pasa,
si te vas.
Eres tu
mis ganas de cantar.

Alli donde estes, estare.
Es imposible no pensar en ti.
Donde vivas, vivire.
Un mundo del que faltes tu
es frio para mi.

Agua clara, clara sed,
amor unico a flor de piel.
Siento prisa por vivir.
Mi corazon salta
si vienes hacia mi.


Esta vez es amor de verdad
(I'm in love for the very first time)

Esta vez es amor de verdad
el corazon no me puede enganar.
Es hermosa la vida
la siento mia.
Esta vez es amor de verdad.

Mas alla del color del futuro
a salvo de cualquier temporal.
Ahora se que los dos somos uno
el amor no nos traiciona jamas.

Compartamos tambien los suenos
y el camino dorado del sol.
En un mundo distinto y mas bello
viviremos solos tu y yo.


Creo en el amor
(I Believe In Love)

Dejate llevar del amor
y de su mensaje.
Dime por que falta comprension
y hay miedo a la felicidad.

Creo en al amor,
inmortal destino.
Creo en su voz en su eterna verdad
y en su ley para todos igual.
Creo en al amor.

En algun lugar habra
un sol, un mar amigos.
Mi pais de fabula
alli es muy facil amar.


Madre
(Mother, how are you today?)

Madre, que tal? Yo muy bien.
Vuelvo a escribirte unas lineas.
Sigo adorando el hogar.
Madre, y volverte a abrazar.

Dime si esta todo igual.
La alcoba, el columpio, mis trajes.
Recuerdos que vuelven a mi.
Madre, cuando eras feliz.

Como explicarte que al fin,
llevo en mi vientre un arcangel.
Algo se teje y presiento lo que es.
Madre, que feliz sera (te hare).

Madre, quizas no hice bien.
Se que merezco un reproche.
Dime si aun puedo volver.
Madre, volver otra vez.
