Mika - We are young

We are young

We are strong
We're not looking for where we belong

We're not cool
We are free
And we're running with blood on our knees

We could rule the world
On a silver platter
From the wrong to the right light
To an open stream

With a crash and burn
We could make it better
Turn it upside down
Just you and me

We are the dream
No other way
To be

We are young
We are strong
We're not looking for where we belong

We're not cool
We are free
And we're running with blood on our knees

I could change the world
I could make it better
Kick it up and down
Take a chance on me

When you fake a smile
And you think you're better
Gonna put it down
Rip it at your feet

No bridge to burn
Nowhere to turn
For me

We are young
We are strong
We're not looking for where we belong

We're not cool
We are free
And we're running with blood on our knees

What do they know about us?
Are they thinking of somebody else?
Are they wondering what we might be?
Are they thinking of you or of me?

We are young
We are strong
We're not looking for where we belong

We're not cool
We are free
And we're running with blood on our knees

Lara Fabian - Demain n'existe pas

Jamais, n’abandonnez jamais

Trouvez un souffle, un reflet
Qui nous renvoie au secret
Jamais ne se guider de désirs
Trouver dans un sourire, une nouvelle raison d’être
De guérir
D’aimer
Infiniment, éperdument
Ici maintenant

Demain n’existe pas
Le temps s’écoule au temps présent
Rien de ce que tu vois
Ne passera deux fois
Demain n’existe pas
Une autre chance, aujourd’hui
S’inscrit entre ta voix
L’une qui t’égare
L’autre qui te mène à toi

Passer à côté du passé
Ne plus s’y attarder
Que les souvenirs lourds fassent un détour
Savoir qu’au delà du serment
Ou d’un rêve d’enfant
Le destin n’écrit que ce que l’on se dit
Secrètement, intensément, passionnément

Lara Fabian - Soleil, soleil

Lara Fabian - Albums 2009 & 2010

Вчера узнала о выходе нового альбома Lara Fabian , с удовольствием его послушала. Удивилась названию Lara Fabian & Igor Krutoi - Mademoiselle Zhivago (2010), хотя я слышала об успешных гастролях певицы в России. А песня Demain N'existe Pas очень даже ничего.
Судя по сообщению на официальном сайте Mademoiselle Zhivago - это мьюзикл, который записывается в Украине. Интересно что же будет дальше. Стоит ли надеятся, что это что-то одноименное и записано по мотивам бессмертного творения Бориса Пастернака.
Мне больше нравиться её прошлогодний альбом Lara Fabian 2009 Toutes Les Femmes En Moi. Там есть одна песня Soleil, Soleil - мне очень она нравится уже много лет, я её услышала в исполнении Dalida и до сих пор не признавала других исполнительниц, но Лара очень по особому ее перепела, очень весело.
Toutes Les Femmes En Moi вышел через три года после альбома "9" и был посвящен франкоязычным певицам, чьи творчество и жизни явились источником вдохновения для Лары. Песня о солнце, была данью уважения певице Нане Мускури, которая была первой её исполнительницей, хоть и не моей любимой. В клипе снятом для песни, можно её увидеть в конце, где Лара ее целует. Еще в клипе снялась знименитая бельгийская тенисистка Justine Henin, меня это сначала привело в замешательство, я ее даже не сразу узнала, но вспомнив о том что Лара тоже бельгийка, можно было установить связь. Являясь одними из самых выдающихся женщим Бельгии, не удивительно, что они знакомы и радуют своих поклонников совместным появлением на людях.

Toutes les femmes en moi

С первым снегом всех

В Монреале выпал снег. Наконец-то. Это не самый первый в этом году, но бесспорно, более стойкий. Не смотря на то, что стало заметно холоднее, на душе легче и светлее. Я даже не представляля себе как тоскливо себя чувствовала, пока не увидела как пушинки снега кружатся в воздухе. Вроде проблемы остались те же, ничего к лучшему не изменилось, но настроение веселее, и хочется перемен. На работе объявили о вечеринке, что еще более способствует поднятию настроения. Уже приходят в голову весёлые мысли, а что же нам подарят?

Музыка, которая меня потрясла

Вчера, 18 июля, свершилось. Шоу знаменитой ирландской группы Celtic Woman "Songs from the Heart" состоялось. Надеюсь его выпустят на ДВД а то сейчас слушать записи после концерта уже не интересно. Но вернусь к самому концерту.
Это было что-то невероятное, действо происходившее на сцене даже невозможно назвать просто шоу, это была фейерия. Что-то невооброзимое творилось со мной от этой музыки. Давно я не испытывала такого душевного подъема. Вроде бы все песни знакомые, много раз слышанные, но живое пение никогда не стоит сравнивать с записью, даже видео не производит такого впечатления. Хотя диск с записью концерта обязательно куплю, тут еще скоро должен выйти их новый альбом Lullaby, мониторю сайт Archambeault на предмет его появления.

Мысли в ночи

This world is big and small at the same time. The big - because you can meet there a lot of wonderful people and found a great deal of interesting thoughts. The small - there is not enough place for everybody and everything, you are clashing with everybody and everything all the time.
Это просто мысли в ночи. Очень жарко. Бессонница. Вроде бы всего 24 градуса и накрапывает дождик, а так душно, что дышать становится тяжело, а о том что бы заснуть и мечтать не приходится.
В голову лезут разные мысли, то веселые, от предвкушения концерта любимой группы, то не очень, очень устала и близкого нормального отдыха не предвидится.

Ireland's call - Celtic Thunder

Ireland
Ireland

Side by side
We stand like brothers
One for all and all together
We will stay united through darker days
And we'll be unbeatable forever

Ireland, Ireland
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call!

Come the day and come the hour
Some will live in song and story
We were born to follow our guiding star
And to meet our destiny with glory

Ireland, Ireland
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call!

Hearts of steel and heads unbowing
Vowing never to be broken
We will fight, until we can fight no more
Till our final requiem is spoken

Ireland, Ireland
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call!

Ireland, Ireland
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call!
We'll answer Ireland's call!

Heartland - Celtic Thunder

Out of the mists of Time it comes
Older than the oldest rhyme it comes
Coursing through our veins it comes
Pulsing in our brains it comes
Crushing like a thunder roll
Echoing in our very soul
Listen as it comes
The pure, unbridled sound of drums

When the storm is raging
And thunder rolls
Deliver us from the ocean
Save our souls

A Thiarna, déan trócaire (Lord have mercy)
A Chríost, déan trócaire (Christ have mercy)
A Thiarna, déan trócaire (Lord have mercy)
A Chríost, déan trócaire (Christ have mercy)

When the winds are howling
Vigil keep
Shelter us and save us
From the deep

A Thiarna, déan trócaire (Lord have mercy)
A Chríost, déan trócaire (Christ have mercy)
A Thiarna, déan trócaire (Lord have mercy)
A Chríost, déan trócaire (Christ have mercy)

Thank you, Lord, you have brought us
Safe to shore
Be our strength and protection
Ever more

The book of love - Peter Gabriel

The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures and instructions for dancing
But I
I love it when you read to me
And you
You can read me anything
The book of love has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it is just transcendental
Some of it is just really dumb
But I
I love it when you sing to me
And you
You can sing me anything
The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know
But I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
You ought to give me wedding rings

Moment

Well I'm thinking there's more to this life of mine
But so many distractions are crowding my mind
And I see every moment passing me by
I've gotta keep my eyes open and watch all the signs
I wanna feel
I'm alive

I wanna see every moment clearly defined
Understand every moment, understand why
And just feel every moment, touch me inside
Believe every moment, trust what I find
Then I'll be, so alive

Chorus

And I'll run
To the light
Though I don't know what's coming before me
I'll be alright
Now I know
I'm alive
Oh my heart is wide open
I'm giving each moment my life

I wanna tell it and yell it and shout it out loud
Wanna feel what it feels like to let it all out
I wanna cry every tear till there ain't no more left
And breathe every breath as though it's the last
Then I'll be
So alive

Chorus

I don't have to look far away
Tomorrow will come like today
And there's no time forgotten
No worlds left unspoken no more
No more

Chorus

I'm holding this moment
I'm loving this moment
I'm giving this moment
The rest of my life

I'm holding this moment
I'm loving this moment
I'm giving this moment
My life

Фейерия Джексона Поллока

Elsa - Didier Barbelivien

Elsa, les maneges de Berlin tournaient dans tes bras,

Elsa, la chanson des marins pleurait dans ta voix
Elsa, le soleil du matin s'allumait sur toi
Elsa, le printemps qui revient ne me guerit pas.

Je me souviens de ces yeux la , la la la, la la la
Moitie bleu moitie lilas, la la la, la la la
Beaux comme un air d'opera, la la la, la la la
Je ne voyais plus que ca

Je me souviens de ces yeux la , la la la, la la la
Sur ton visage en delta, la la la, la la la
Meme a des annees de toi, la la la, la la la
Je vis mais je ne dors pas.

Elsa, les violons des tziganes se battaient pour toi
Elsa, le sourire des nomades subissait ta loi
Elsa, les nuits de Scheherazade se moquaient du froid
Elsa, dans mes longues promenades quand je pense a toi.

Je me souviens de ces yeux la, la la la, la la la
Moitie bleu, moitie lilas, la la la, la la la
Meme a des annees de toi, la la la, la la la
Je vis mais je ne dors pas.

Elsa, les maneges de Berlin tournent dans le froid
Elsa, la chanson des marins n'a plus rien de toi
Elsa, le soleil ce matin ne brille pas pour moi
Elsa, le printemps qui revient ne me guerit pas.

О музыке

Какую бы музыку ты ни слушал, она меняет тебя изнутри, и ты это чувствуешь - как капель весеннего дождика пробуждает деревья от зимнего сна или как водопад, разбивающий скалы...

"Girls, Girls, Girls"

Girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls

Well, yellow, red, black or white
Add a little bit of moonlight
For this intercontinental romance
Shy girls, sexy girls
they all like that fancy world
Champagne, a gentle song, a slow dance
Who makes it fun to spend your money?
Who calls you honey most every day?

Girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls

Well, they made ‘em up in Hollywood
And put ‘em into the movies
Those lovely photographic splendors
In and out of magazines
Miss World and beauty queens
Falling in love with the real big spenders.
But although their world may be frantic
They’re still romantic in their own way

So hop on, the world is swinging
Don’t sit and twiddle your thumbs
Get up and meet those pretty girls, girls, girls
Step on, the world keeps swinging
Put on the dazzling charm
Get up and find those pretty girls!

Don’t rush, keep it nice and gentle
And sentimental for that certain moment
Moonlit oceans, girls full of emotions
Stepping on that slow boat to China
And next door in Japan, they know how to please a man
Calling in for tea with my geisha
They’ve got that old-fashioned feeling
When it comes to pleasing, they know their way

So hop on, the world is swinging
Don’t sit and twiddle your thumbs
Get up and meet those pretty girls, girls, girls
Step on, the world keeps swinging
Put on the dazzling charm
Get up and find those pretty girls!

Don’t rush, keep it nice and gentle
And sentimental for that certain moment when you draw back the curtain

So hop on, the world is swinging
Don’t sit and twiddle your thumbs
Get up and meet those pretty girls

Ooh, forever

Girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls

Girls, girls, girls, girls, girls

I could have danced all night - Jamie Cullum

I could have danced all night
I could have danced all night
And still have begged for more
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things
I'd never ever done before
I'll never know what made it so exciting
But all at once my heart took flight
I only know when she began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced, danced, danced, danced

Bed? I couldn't go to bed
My head's too light to try to settle down
Sleep? I couldn't sleep tonight
Not for all the jewels in the crown!

I'll never know what made it so exciting
But all at once my heart took flight
I only know when she began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced, danced all night

Lullaby To An Anxious Child - Sting

Hush child,
Let your mommy sleep into the night until we rise
Hush child,
Let me soothe the shining tears that gather in your eyes
Hush child,
I won't leave I'll stay with you to cross this Bridge of Sighs
Hush child,
I can help the look of accusation in your eyes
In your eyes
The world is broken and now
All in sorrow
Wise men hang their heads
Hush child,
Let your mommy sleep into the night until we rise
Hush child,
All the strength I'll need to find, I'll find inside your eyes
In your eyes

Весенний калейдоскоп

La partouze - Lynda Lemay

J'ai pris le grand couteau à viande
Qui reposait sur le comptoir
Entre un flacon de coriandre
Et un autre de poivre noir

J'avais préparé un souper
T'en aurais pas cru tes papilles
Mais lorsque minuit a sonné
Tu étais encore invisible

Je suis sortie, ainsi armée
Nos deux bouteilles de vin dans l' corps
Je les ai bues à ta santé
Maintenant, j' les digère à ta mort !

J'ai essayé ton cellulaire
C'était toujours le répondeur
J'ai même essayé chez ta mère
Chez tes copains puis chez ta sœur

Maintenant, j' me rends à la brasserie
La vieille baraque au bord du lac
Voir si c'est là que tu m'oublies
Et j'ai mis l' couteau dans mon sac

Sur le trajet, j' t'appelle encore
Mais plus j' t'appelle et moins t'es là
Moins ça répond et plus j' crie fort
Je sens la rage qui monte en moi

Je me stationne tout d' travers
Je cherche ton camion du regard
Je croise deux de tes compères
Y disent qu'y t'ont pas vu ce soir

Alors, en route pour le village
J' m'en vais t' coincer à ton adresse
J' vois dans ma tête comme une image
T' es pas tout seul et t' es nu-fesses

Dire que y a ton souper dans l' fourneau
Qu'est calciné comme mon orgueil
Dire que ça sentait bon tantôt
La coriandre et le cerfeuil

J' suis pas un ange, j' suis pas à jeun
Mais j' mérite pas qu'on s' paie ma gueule
S'y faut qu' j' te retrouve avec quelqu'un
Alors qu' tu m'as laissée toute seule

Je sais que j' vais mal réagir
Mais j'ai comme une curiosité
Que j'ai comme pas l' choix d'assouvir
C'est une foutue nécessité

Appartement quatre cent douze
j' colle mon oreille sur ta porte
Ça sent le fort et la partouze
J'ai plus d' contrôle et je m'emporte

À grands coups d' pied, j'essaie d'ouvrir
T'as dû fermer avec un meuble
Je gueule, je cogne et je vois v'nir
Le vieux concierge de l'immeuble

Y veut qu' j' me calme et il m'attrape
Y me conseille de me contenir
Alors j' lui fous un grand coup d' sac
Et j' vois son cou s' mettre à rougir

Ça doit être toi, mon écœurant,
Qu' a signalé le neuf un un
Parce qu'en deux temps et trois mouvements
La police a r'trouvé l' défunt

C'est sûr que j' m'en vais en prison
J'ai pas d' remords, j' suis une jalouse
J' suis sûre que l' concierge est un con
Qu'allait te r'joindre dans ta partouze !

Калейдоскоп тюльпанов

Работа

Работа это конечно хорошо, но когда ее слишком много, она начинает раздражать.
Даже скорее не раздражать, а надоедать. Очень бы хотелось не продолжать молдавскую тупую традицию менять работу каждые полгода, потому что ничего нового не светит, а от постоянного однообразия возникает чувство, что ты деградируешь. Да и финансовая, очень не маловажная составляющая, в виде денежного стимула (типа прибавка к зп), в Молдавии напрочь отсутствовала, я вообще молчу о премиях и бонусах.
Но вернемся к нашим баранам. В общем и целом тут, работой и условиями я очень даже довольна, здесь, в этой компании, можно было бы работать годами и не помышлять об уходе. Теперь я наконец-то понимаю, как такой феномен вообще существует, люди работают на одной работе десятилетиями. Раньше мне этого было не понять.
Правда, я не думаю, что мне тут что-то светит, типа повышения, и я пока не вижу смысла надеяться, что могу тут задержаться на долго. Должность не та, мелкий клерк, нет смысла тратить время, врядли что изменится. Я тут рискую застрять на одном месте, выполняя одну и туже скучную рутину, получая мизерное повышение раз в год. Что-то такая перспектива меня как-то не обнадеживает.
Поразмыслив на досуге, пришла к выводу, что мне пока стоит задержаться, набраться побольше знаний, которые можно было бы продать, и наработать минимум год опыта работы, чтоб иметь больше оснований запросить более высокую зп.
Устала, хочется перемен. Рутина выматывает.
Скорее бы поехать развеяться. Греет душу мысль - поехать на фестиваль тюльпанов в Оттаву. Эти поездки, кстати, могут превратиться в очень хорошую традицию. Я была там в прошлом году, ничего вроде не мешает поехать в этом, на следующий год обязательно поеду!

Voulez-Vous

People everywhere
A sense of expectation hanging in the air
Giving out a spark
Across the room your eyes are glowing in the dark
And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end

You know what I mean

Feeling mighty proud

We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more
You know what I mean

Au nom des frustrées - Lynda Lemay

Au nom de toutes les frustrées du monde entier
Au nom de toutes les pauvres laissées pour compte
J'vais crever les pneus de toutes les voitures aux vitres embuées
Et je vais couper les cheveux des grandes blondes.

Au nom de celles qu'à l'intérieur elles sont belles
Au nom de toutes les cocues inconsolables
Je vais filer en douce tous les p'tits couples jusqu'à leurs motels
Et je vais crier "au feu" quand ça a l'air agréable.

Au nom de toutes les bonnes femmes à la diète
Au nom de toutes les victimes d'adultère
J'vais accrocher sans faire exprès avec le bout d'ma cigarette
Tous les visons des secrétaires particulières.

Au nom de toutes les frustrées du monde entier
Je vais kidnapper Adjani et Sophie Marceau
Je vais leur faire bouffer des chips et des brownies à la pocheté
Jusqu'à voir apparaître deux gros ventres flasques.

An nom de toutes les pas jolies mais très gentilles
Au nom de toutes les révoltées contre les hommes
Je vais entrer par effraction chez les p'tits cons tombeurs de filles
Je vais leur faire "gueli gueli" pendant qu'ils dorment.

Au nom de toutes les allergiques aux agaces
Au nom de toutes les ennemies de Sharon Stone
Je vais m'asseoir au cinéma derrière un couple qui s'embrasse
Je vais éternuer dans les séquences cochonnes.

Au nom de toutes les frustrées du monde entier
Au nom des mangeuses de tires de Sainte Catherine
J'vais faire signer des pétitions contre le sexe à la télé
J'vais faire la chasse aux laminés de Marilyn.

Au nom de toutes les coquettes qui vieillissent
Et qui n'attirent plus le regard de leur mari
J'vais m'arranger pour trouver l'moyen d'faire pousser des varices
Sur les gambettes de pétards de Dynasty

Au nom de la désillusion et de la rage
Au nom des tentations secrètes des bonnes-sœurs
J'vais supplier le diable de faire apparaître un feu sauvage
Sur la grosse maudite bouche de Kim Basinger

Au nom de toutes les frustrées du monde entier
J'ai composé cette chanson thérapeutique
Plus on la gueule fort mesdames et plus on se sent libérée
Je la conseille à toutes les frustrées chroniques !

La visite - Lynda Lemay

J'veux pas d'visite
Parce que j'ai pas passé l'balai
Parce que j'ai pas d'liqueur au frais
J'veux pas d'visite
J'veux pas leur dire comment je vais
Pis j'ai les cheveux tout défaits
J'veux pas d'visite
Parce qu'la maison est à l'envers
Parce que j'suis pas bonne cuisinière
J'veux pas d'visite
Parce qu'les cousins et les beaux-frères
Ça me tombe un peu sur les nerfs
Parce qu'la visite, ça parle fort
Et parce que c'est jamais d'accord
Parce que j'ai pas une grosse façon
parce que j'ai pas de plat d'bonbons
Parce que j'ai pas d'conversation
J'veux pas d'visite!
J'veux pas d'visite
Parce quand ça sonne à la porte
J'ai comme une envie d'être morte
Toute la visite
C'est hypocrite en arrivant
Et puis ça repart en mémérant
J'veux pas d'visite
Je veux qu'on me traite de sauvage
Et que ça s'dise dans l'voisinage
J'veux qu'on m'évite
Que les enfants demandent à leur mère
"Est-ce-que c'est vrai qu'c'est une sorcière?"
Parce qu'la visite, c'comme les fourmis
Ça rentre et puis ça s'multiplie
Ça revient tout le temps comme un cauchemar
Ça pense qu'on est content d'les voir
Ça coupe les films en plein milieu
Ça prend l'divan le plus moelleux
Ça nous condamne à la chaise droite
Ça prend racine, ça mange comme quatre
J'veux pas d'visite
J'ferme les lumières et les rideaux
J'fais ma prière, j'cache mon auto
J'veux pas d'visite
Parc'que j'déteste les surprises
Quand j'me promène en queue d'chemise
Parce qu'la visite, c'est pas futé
Ça fait du bruit, puis ça grignote
C'est des p'tites bêtes bien élevées
Faut leur faire bouffer des peanuts
Mais le problème, c'est qu'ça s'attache
Ça coûte une fortune de pistaches
Et quand ça fini par partir
Ça nous promet qu'ça va rev'nir...
...et ça revient !

Константин Симонов - Жди меня, и я вернусь

Жди меня, и я вернусь.
Только очень жди,
Жди, когда наводят грусть
Желтые дожди,
Жди, когда снега метут,
Жди, когда жара,
Жди, когда других не ждут,
Позабыв вчера.

Жди, когда из дальних мест
Писем не придет,
Жди, когда уж надоест
Всем, кто вместе ждет.

Жди меня, и я вернусь,
Не желай добра
Всем, кто знает наизусть,
Что забыть пора.

Пусть поверят сын и мать
В то, что нет меня,
Пусть друзья устанут ждать,
Сядут у огня,
Выпьют горькое вино
На помин души...
Жди. И с ними заодно
Выпить не спеши.

Жди меня, и я вернусь,
Всем смертям назло.
Кто не ждал меня, тот пусть
Скажет: - Повезло.

Не понять, не ждавшим им,
Как среди огня
Ожиданием своим
Ты спасла меня.

Как я выжил, будем знать
Только мы с тобой,-
Просто ты умела ждать,
Как никто другой.

Should I Laugh Or Cry

He stands towering over me beside my bed
Losing his head
Tells me I must take him seriously
Droning on the usual way
He's such a clever guy
And I wonder should I laugh or cry

He's (he's) dressed (dressed) in the striped pajamas that I bought
Trousers too short
Gives (gives) me (me) of his small philosophy
Carries on the way he does
And me I get so tired
And I wonder should I laugh or cry
High and mighty his banner flies
A fool's pride in his eyes
Standin' there on his toes to grow in size
(All I see is)
All I see is a big balloon
Halfway up to the moon
He's wrapped up in the warm and safe cocoon
Of an eternal lie
So should I laugh or cry

Strange (strange) how (how) dangerously indifferent I have grown
Cold as a stone
No (no) more (more) pain where there was pain before
Far away he rambles on, I feel my throat go dry
And I wonder should I laugh or cry

High and mighty his banner flies
A fool's pride in his eyes
Standin' there on his toes to grow in size
(All I see is)
All I see is a big balloon
Halfway up to the moon
He's wrapped up in a warm and safe cocoon
Of an eternal lie
So should I laugh or cry

Acanac, дубль 2

Очередной прикол. Я конечно может со временем собиралась поключится к другому провайдеру, но мне это не горит. Чем меньше дома интернета, тем больше полезного я в этом доме делаю. И вот, кормила я завтраками своего бывшего провайдера, пока это ему не надоело. Сегодня меня официально отключили. Зато теперь знаю точную дату начала своего контракта. 22 апреля. Нада же. Весь год гадала когда у меня контракт начал действовать, когда мне модем прислали бракованный или когда нормально стал работать интернет. Ну теперь всё ясна. Они даже пытались меня заранее предупредить, звонили и писали. Я им конечно на мыло пару раз ответила, но позвонить и официально продлить кнтракт, так и не позвонила. Кароче, я подумаю. За пару недель ниче такого особенного не произойдет. Бывали мы и дольше без интернета. И не такое видали.
Без наличия интернета, сегодняшний вечер посвящен любимой библиотеке и ее бесплатному интернету. Сижу наслаждаюсь музыкой, найду что нить интересное, обязательно рипну. Набрала себе стопку большущую, сижу слушаю. Класс. Тут тихо и спокойно. Библиотечная атмосфера всегда действовала на меня успокаивающе. Надеюсь моё умиротворенное состояние после посещения любимого места пойдет на пользу, и я лучше отдохну. А то усталость от работы грозится перерости в хроническую, что в мои планы не входит.

C'est ça le jazz!

Mon bébé, on va se payer une fête
Où il y a du jazz!
Visant mes collants noirs, toi tu enfiles tes gaines
On va au jazz!
On démarre vers un bar sensuel
Où le gin est froid, le piano démentiel
On se soulera jusqu'à ce qu'on monte au septième ciel
C'est ça le jazz!

Coiffe ta tête et mets ta plus belle blouse
On va au jazz!
Paraît que le vieux Ronald va balancer son bull
Au coeur du jazz!
Attends-moi, je me déguise en chatte
J'amène de l'aspirine au cas où on s'éclate
Je veux que tu m'épates, que tu me mettes out klock
Par tout ce jazz!

Vide une flasque jusqu'à la dernière goutte
C'est ça le jazz!
Juste ici, entre mes lèvres rouges
C'est ça le jazz!
Mon bébé, on va brouiller le ciel
J'parie que Charles Hémaire n'est pas monté si haut
Car dans la stratosphère, on perdrerait le tempo
De tout ce jazz!

Mon bébé, on va s'payer une fête
C'est ça le jazz! C'est ça le jazz!
J'enfile mes collants noirs, j'ramasse mes cigarettes
C'est ça le jazz! C'est ça le jazz!
On démarre vers un bar sensuel
Où le gin est froid, le piano démentiel
On se saoulera jusqu'à ce qu'on monte au septième ciel
C'est ça le jazz!

Non, j'suis pas ta femme
Mais, j'ai pas mal à l'âme
C'est ça le jazz!
Le jazz!

All that jazz!

Come on babe why don't we paint the town
and all that jazz
I'm gonna rouge my knees
and roll my stockings down
and all that jazz
Start the car I know a whoopee spot
Where the gin is cold
but the piano's hot!
It's justy a noisy hall
Where there's a nightly brawl
And all that jazz

And all that jazz
And all that jazz
Slick your hair
And wear your buckle shoes
And all that Jazz
I hear that Father Dip
Is gonna blow the blues
And all that Jazz
Hold on, hon
We're gonna bunny hug
I bought some aspirin
Down at United Drug
I case you shake apart
And want a brand new start
To do that

[Roxie Hart] (imagine)
Jazz

[Velma Kelly]
Find a flask
We're playing fast and loose
And all that jazz
Right up here
Is where I store the juice
And all that jazz
Come on, babe
We're gonna brush the sky
I bet you luck Lindy
Never flew so high
'Cause in the stratosphere
How could he lend an ear
to all that jazz?
Oh, you're gonna see your sheba shimmy shake

[Company]
And all that jazz

[Velma Kelly]
Oh, she's gonna shimmy 'till her garters break

[Company]
And all that jazz

[Velma Kelly]
Show her where to park her girdle
Oh, her mother's blood'd curdle

[Company]
If she'd hear her baby's queer

[Velma Kelly]
For all that jazz

All that jazz
Come on, babe
Why Don't we paint
The town?
And all that jazz
And all that jazz
I'm gonna rouge my knees
And roll my stockings down
And all that jazz
And all that jazz
Start the car
I know a whoopee spot
Where the gin is cold
But the piano's hot
It's just a noisy hall
Where there's a nightly brawl
And all that jazz

No, I'm no one's wife
But, Oh, I love my life
And all
that
Jazz!
That Jazz!

Billy Joel - In the middle of the night

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To the river so deep
I must be lookin' for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross
Even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and stand on the shore
I try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find what I've been looking for

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I'd never lose
Something somebody stole

I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is I've been looking for
(Two beat Pause)

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To the river so deep
I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind

In the middle of the night (break)
Im not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That is runnin' to the promised land (Long Five beat Pause)

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night

I Let The Music Speak

I'm hearing images, I'm seeing songs
No poet has ever painted
Voices call out to me, straight to my heart
So strange yet we're so well acquainted
I let the music speak, with no restraints
I let my feelings take over
Carry my soul away into the world
Where beauty meets the darkness of the day

Where my mind is like an open window
Where the high and healing winds blow
From my shallow sleep the sounds awake me
I let them take me
(Let them wake me, let them now, let them take me)

Let it be a joke
Let it be a smile
Let it be a farce if it makes me laugh for a little while
Let it be a tear
Let it be a sigh
Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry

Some streets are emptiness, dry leaves of autumn
Rustling down an old alley
And in the dead of night I find myself
A blind man in some ancient valley
I let the music speak, leading me gently
Urging me like a lover
Leading me all the way
Into a place
Where beauty will defeat the darkest day

Where I'm one with every grand illusion
No disturbance, no intrusion
Where I let the wistful sounds seduce me
I let them use me
(All illusion, no disturbance, no intrusion)

Let it be a joke
Let it be a smile
Let it be a farce if it makes me laugh for a little while
Let it be a tear
Let it be a sigh
Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry

Let it be a tear
Let it be a sigh
Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry

Let it be the joy of each new sunrise
Or the moment when a day dies
I surrender without reservation
No explanations
No questions why
I take it to me and let it flow through me
Yes, I let the music speak
I let the music speak

Dancing Queen

You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh see that girl, watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a king

Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance

You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat
From the tambourine, oh yeah

You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh see that girl, watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave 'em burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance

You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat
From the tambourine, oh yeah

You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh see that girl, watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
Dig in the dancing queen

Me And I

Sometimes when I'm mad
There's a part of me that seems to be a little sad
Sometimes when I scream
There's a voice in me that says, "You shouldn't be so mean"
Oh no, oh no
Part of me is acting while the other stands beside
Yes, I am to myself what Jekyll must have been to Hyde

We're like sun and rainy weather
Sometimes we're a hit together
Me and I
Gloomy moods and inspiration
We're a funny combination
Me and I
I don't think I'm different or in any way unique
Think about yourself for a minute
And you'll find the answer in it
Everyone's a freak

Sometimes I have toyed
With ideas that I got from good old Dr. Freud
Nothing new of course
It may seem to you I try to break through open doors
Oh no, oh no
I just wanna say a lot of that applies to me
'Cause it's an explanation to my split identity

We're like sun and rainy weather
Sometimes we're a hit together
Me and I
Gloomy moods and inspiration
We're a funny combination
Me and I
I don't think I'm different or in any way unique
Think about yourself for a minute
And you'll find the answer in it
Everyone's a freak

Me and I...

We're like sun and rainy weather

When All Is Said And Done

Heres to us one more toast and then well pay the bill
Deep inside both of us can feel the autumn chill
Birds of passage, you and me
We fly instinctively
When the summers over and the dark clouds hide the sun
Neither you nor Im to blame when all is said and done

In our lives we have walked some strange and lonely treks
Slightly worn but dignified and not too old for sex
Were still striving for the sky
No taste for humble pie
Thanks for all your generous love and thanks for all the fun
Neither you nor Im to blame when all is said and done

Its so strange when youre down and lying on the floor
How you rise, shake your head, get up and ask for more
Clear-headed and open-eyed
With nothing left untried
Standing calmly at the crossroads,no desire to run
Theres no hurry any more when all is said and done

Standing calmly at the crossroads,no desire to run
Theres no hurry any more when all is said and done

Waterloo

My my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way

The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself

Waterloo
I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo
Promise to love you forever more

Waterloo
Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo
Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo
Finally facing my Waterloo

My my, I tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight

And how could I ever refuse?
I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo
I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo
Promise you'll love me forever more

Waterloo
Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo
Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo
Finally facing my Waterloo

So how could I ever refuse?
I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo
Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo
Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo
Finally facing my Waterloo

Waterloo
Knowing my fate is to be with you

Finally facing my Waterloo

Дурные примеры заразиnельны, но никогда бы не подумала, что и хорошими можно заразиться.
Подруга заразившись кулинарно-маниакальным синдромом оказывает и на меня благотворное влияние. 
Новый рецепт:
берёте йогурт клубниный, добавляете еще столовую ложку клубничного варенья или джема, наливаете рюмку кофейного бейлиса, взбить миксером до однородной массы. Наслаждайтесь вкусом.

The Winner Takes It All

I don't wanna talk
About the things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history

I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play

The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny

I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence

Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules

The Gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear

The winner takes it all (Takes it all)
The loser has to fall (Has to fall)
It's simple and it's plain (Yes, it's plain)
Why should I complain

But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name

Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed

The judges will decide (Decide)
The likes of me abide (Abide)
Spectators of the show
Always staying low (Staying low)

The game is on again (All again)
A lover or a friend (Or a friend)
A big thing or a small (Big or small)
The winner takes it all (Takes it all)

I don't wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand

I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see

The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all

Someone winner
Takes it all
And one loses
Has to fall

From a guide
From the side
Makes that feeling
Someone here

Takes it all
Has to fall
This is magic
Someone here

Thank You For The Music

I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
But I have a talent a wonderful thing
'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I'm so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty?
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I've often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty?
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance

Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty?
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

So Long

You think you're gonna make me softer with your fancy car
But I can tell you all your tricks ain't gonna get you far
They say, 'That money's got a magic touch'
But not to me, it doesn't mean that much
You won't have me tonight
All right, all right, all right, all right

So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
Tracy, Daisy, they may be crazy
But I'll never be your girl

So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
You know it's not worth trying
So long, so long, so long

You didn't have to send me flowers like you did today
I wouldn't keep a thing from you, I gave them all away
The girls might fall for everything you've got
But I'm not one of them, you know I'm not
You won't have me tonight
All right, all right, all right, all right

So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
Tracy, Daisy, they may be crazy
But I'll never be your girl

So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
You know it's not worth trying
So long, so long, so long

So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
You know it's not worth trying
So long, so long, so long

So long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long

Salon des vins et spiritueux de Montréal

Я не зря тут кучу картинок выложила с алкоголем. Была на выставке вина. Дегустировать мног не пришлось, настроение и так было отличное.
Самое незабываемое впечатление произвело белое вино из Val de Loire под названием Crémant de Loire Langlois Blanc Brut - это было что-то с чем-то. Я не самый большой знаток вин и вообще алкогольных напитков, но если что-то нравится - то это надолго. Мне многие вина горькие на вкус и часто сильный остаточный привкус горчит все выпитое после. Поэтому я предпочитаю что-нибудь сладенькое, как истинная скадкоежка. Кстати, на счет сладкого.
Продегустировала Wild Africa Cream, который завозится из Южной Африки компанией Wild Cape liqueurs, очень вкусная штука, подавалась в шоколадном наперстке. Друзья сказали что это типичный Baileys, что не правда, вкус более молочный и алкогольный, и напиток менее густой.
Вот тут несколько рецептов коктейлей.

Впечатления самые позитивные, буду покупать, однозначно, для разнообразия от Original Baileys. Кстати, о нем, родном и дорогом, на выставке купила себе кофейный Бэйлис, бо в SAQ его вечно искать нада, и как правило есть только оригинальный, что есть несправедливость.
Следующие на очереди были местные продукты. Естесственно сидр (La Cidrerie La Pomme du Saint-Laurent) вне конкуренции. Ну сидр он и в Африке яблочный уксус, но тут было нечто особенное, настоенное на землянике, прикольный вкус яблока с насыщенным клубничным привкусом и запахом. И название подстать коктейлю вкуса и запаха La Cidraise (cidre + fraise) очень вкусно, но много не выпьешь. Производит это чудо алкогольной промышленности местная кантора Verger Clément Larivière.
Еще из импортных изысков попробовала итальянский земляничный ликёр, в нём очень прикольно плавали малюсенькие землянички, который потом очень хитро разбавили шампанским. Рецепт коктейля прост:
60 ml Fragoli, Toschi (Ликёр)
200 ml de Cuvée Brut, Carpenè Malvolti (Шампанское ).

I Have A Dream

I have a dream, a song to sing, to help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of the fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels, something good in everything I see
I believe in angels, when I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasy, to help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels, something good in everything I see
I believe in angels, when I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream

I have a dream, a song to sing, to help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels, something good in everything I see
I believe in angels, when I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream

I Saw It In The Mirror

I saw it in the mirror, I saw it in my face
That I'm no longer needed, anyone can take my place
I saw it in the mirror when I look into my eyes
'Cause something sure is wrong when this boy cries
(This boy cries)

I saw it in the mirror, my head is hanging low
And I ain't too familiar with the feelings that I show
I know you say you love me, but I'm seeing through your lies
It doesn't really bother you if this boy cries
(This boy cries)

I never thought I could cry for you
But honey I will miss you 'til the day I die
('Til the day I die)

I saw it in the mirror, I saw it in my face
That I'm no longer needed, anyone can take my place
I saw it in the mirror when I look into my eyes
'Cause something sure is wrong when this boy cries
(This boy cries, this boy cries)

On And On And On

I was at a party and this fella said to me
"Something bad is happening, I'm sure you do agree
People care for nothing, no respect for human rights
Evil times are coming, we are in for darker nights"
I said, "Who are you to talk about impending doom?"
He got kinda wary as he looked around the room
He said, "I'm a minister, a big shot in the state"
I said, "I just can't believe it, boy I think it's great
Brother can you tell me what is right and what is wrong?"
He said, "Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone"

On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Til the night is gone
On and on and on
'Til the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Til the night is gone
On and on and on
'Til the night is gone

Over in the corner I could see this other guy
He was kinda flirty, he was giving me the eye
So I took advantage of the fact that I'm a star
Shook my hair and took a casual stroll up to the bar
And as sure as hell this guy was coming up to me
He said, "Who am I and who are you and who are we?
What's our situation, do we have some time for us?"
I said I was not exactly waiting for the bus
He said, "If you're going somewhere can I come along?"
I said, "Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone"

On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Til the night is gone
On and on and on
'Til the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Til the night is gone
On and on and on
'Til the night is gone

[Extra Video Verse]
Standing up is scary if you think you're gonna fall
Like a Humpty Dumpty, 'fraid of falling off the wall
I say if you ever want to know what's going on
Gotta keep on rockin baby till the night is gone

One Man, One Woman

No smiles, not a single word at the breakfast table
Though I would have liked to begin
So much that I wanna say, but I feel unable
You leave and slam the door
Like you've done many times before
And I cry and I feel so helpless

One man, one woman
Two friends and two true lovers
Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times
One man, one woman
One life to live together
One chance to take that never comes back again
You and me, to the end

Outside I can see the sun through the open window
Inside everything feels so cold
What's wrong, what is happening, where did all our love go?
Sometimes when I just can't cope
I cling to a desperate hope
And I cry and I feel like dying

One man, one woman
Two friends and two true lovers
Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times
One man, one woman
One life to live together
One chance to take that never comes back again
You and me, to the end

Daydreams of a better life, but I have to wake up
The sound of the key in the door
You smile and I realise that we need a shake-up
Our love is a precious thing
Worth the pain and the suffering
And it's never too late for changing

One man, one woman
Two friends and two true lovers
Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times
One man, one woman
One life to live together
One chance to take that never comes back again
You and me, to the end
You and me, to the end

Lovelight

I've always hated my room, it's so gloomy and dreary
Always the dark, for the windows just face the back yard
So I can't understand how it's happened, how everything's changing
This old dirty ceiling seems a little whiter
When you walked into the room it all got so much brighter

You must have a lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
And I can feel your love everywhere
Maybe even when you're not there
The lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
You're shining like a star in the night
I won't let you out of my sight
I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose your lovelight

How I remember the first time we went to the movies
We had decided to meet on the corner downtown
And I waited there when you came up from behind and you kissed me
And the traffic seemed to get a little lighter
When you came into my life it all got so much brighter

You must have a lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
And I can feel your love everywhere
Maybe even when you're not there
The lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
You're shining like a star in the night
I won't let you out of my sight
I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose your lovelight

And I feel so good
And I feel so right
And I know that you must have a lovelight
You've got lovelight
And I can feel your love everywhere
Maybe even when you're not there
You've got lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
You're shining like a star in the night
I won't let you out of my sight
I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose your lovelight
Everything about you is right
Let it glow and let it be bright
I don't want to lose your lovelight
Shining like a star in the night

Lovers live a little longer, baby
You and me, we got a chance to live twice
Lovers live a little longer, yeah

Count it all joy

Love Isn't Easy But It Sure Is Hard Enough

Do you remember the first time, and all of your sweet sweet talk
Ain't heard it a lot since then love
Now look at that guy, he's making me cry
He leaves everybody and he only says goodbye
But if I would have to choose I wouldn't let you go
Just give it some more time and you will see our love will grow
Darling I know

We gotta have patience
Love isn't just a sensation
Some of the time it gets rough
Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough
(Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
Giving love is a reason for living
But a few things can be tough
Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough
(Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)

From the first moment I saw you I've treated you like a queen
I've given you lots of presents
Now listen to that, just look at that cat
You'd think he was an angel but he's talking through his hat
But if I would have to choose I wouldn't let you go
Just give it some more time and you will see our love will grow
Darling I know

We gotta have patience
Love isn't just a sensation
Some of the time it gets rough
Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough
(Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
Giving
(Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
Love is a reason for living
(Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
But a few things can be tough
Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough
(Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)

Patience
(Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
Love isn't just a sensation
(Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
Some of the time it gets rough
Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough
(Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
Giving
(Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
Love is a reason for living
(Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
But a few things can be tough
Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough

Red rose on the book

ЗИМНЕЕ УТРО

Мороз и солнце; день чудесный!
Еще ты дремлешь, друг прелестный -
Пора, красавица, проснись:
Открой сомкнуты негой взоры
Навстречу северной Авроры,
Звездою севера явись!

Вечор, ты помнишь, вьюга злилась,
На мутном небе мгла носилась;
Луна, как бледное пятно,
Сквозь тучи мрачные желтела,
И ты печальная сидела -
А нынче... погляди в окно:

Под голубыми небесами
Великолепными коврами,
Блестя на солнце, снег лежит;
Прозрачный лес один чернеет,
И ель сквозь иней зеленеет,
И речка подо льдом блестит.

Вся комната янтарным блеском
Озарена. Веселым треском
Трещит затопленная печь.
Приятно думать у лежанки.
Но знаешь: не велеть ли в санки
Кобылку бурую запречь?

Скользя по утреннему снегу,
Друг милый, предадимся бегу
Нетерпеливого коня
И навестим поля пустые,
Леса, недавно столь густые,
И берег, милый для меня.
А.С. Пушкин

Lonely rose

Dance While The Music Still Goes On

Oh, my love it makes me sad.
Why did things turn out so bad?
Was it just a dream, everything we did, everything we had?

Baby, give me one more
Dance while the music still goes on
Don't think about tomorrow
Dance and forget our time is gone
Tonight's a night we borrow.
Let's make it a memory, a night of our own
A thing to remember when we're all alone
So dance, it's our way to say goodbye

Yes, all we have to do is
Dance while the music still goes on
This is no time for crying
Dance, don't you hear them play our song
God knows that we've been trying
But we didn't make it 'cause nothing's the same
We just couldn't help it, nobody's to blame
So dance while the music still goes on
And let it be our last goodbye

Yet it seems to make me sad.
Why did things turn out so bad?
Was is just a dream, everything we did, everything we had?

Baby, give me one last
Dance while the music still goes on
Just like the night I met you
Dance and believe me, when you're gone
You know I won't forget you
Our love was a snowbird, it's flying away
You tell me it's over, what more can I say?
So dance while the music still goes on
It's gonna be our last goodbye

Dance while the music still goes on
Don't think about tomorrow
Dance and forget our time is gone
Tonight's a night we borrow.
Let's make it a memory, a night of our own
A thing to remember when we're all alone
So dance while the music still goes on
And let it be our last goodbye

Dance while the music still goes on
This is no time for crying
Dance, don't you hear them play our song
God knows that we've been trying
Dance while the music still goes on
Just like the night I met you
Dance and believe me, when you're gone
You know I won't forget you

White flower

Cassandra

Down in the street they're all singing and shouting
Staying alive though the city is dead
Hiding their shame behind hollow laughter
While you are crying alone on your bed

Pity Cassandra that no one believed you
But then again you were lost from the start
Now we must suffer and sell our secrets
Bargain, playing smart, aching in our hearts

Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us would
Listen to words of warning

But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep

Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour

So in the morning your ship will be sailing
Now that your father and sister are gone
There is no reason for you to linger
You're grieving deeply but still moving on

You know the future is casting a shadow
No one else sees it but you know your fate
Packing your bags, being slow and thorough
Knowing, though you're late, that ship is sure to wait

Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us would
Listen to words of warning

But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep

Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour

I watched the ship leaving harbor at sunrise
Sails almost slack in the cool morning rain
She stood on deck, just a tiny figure
Rigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with pain

Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us would
Listen to words of warning

But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep

Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour

I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra
