Françoise Hardy - Tous les garcons et les filles (1962)




French
Tous les garçons et les filles

Tous les garçons et les filles de mon âge
Se promènent dans la rue deux par deux
Tous les garçons et les filles de mon âge
Savent bien ce que c'est qu'être heureux
Et les yeux dans les yeux, et la main dans la main

Ils s'en vont amoureux sans peur du lendemain
Oui mais moi, je vais seule par les rues, l'âme en peine
Oui mais moi, je vais seule, car personne ne m'aime

Mes jours comme mes nuits
Sont en tous points pareils
Sans joies et plein d'ennuis
Personne ne murmure je t'aime à mon oreille

Tous les garçons et les filles de mon âge
Font ensemble des projets d'avenir
Tous les garçons et les filles de mon âge
Savent très bien ce qu'aimer veut dire
Et les yeux dans les yeux, et la main dans la main

Ils s'en vont amoureux sans peur du lendemain
Oui mais moi, je vais seule par les rues l'âme en peine
Oui mais moi, je vais seule, car personne ne m'aime

Mes jours comme mes nuits
Sont en tous points pareils
Sans joies et pleins d'ennuis
Quand donc pour moi brillera le soleil?

Comme les garçons et les filles de mon âge
Connaîtrais-je bientôt ce qu'est l'amour?
Comme les garçons et les filles de mon âge
Je me demande quand viendra le jour

Où les yeux dans ses yeux et la main dans sa main
J'aurai le coeur heureux sans peur du lendemain

Le jour où je n'aurai plus du tout l'âme en peine
Le jour où moi aussi j'aurai quelqu'un qui m'aime.

English
All The Boys and Girls

All the boys and girls my age
Walk down the street in pairs
All the boys and girls my age
Know well what it means to be happy
Eyes in eyes, and hand in hand

They fall in love without fear of tomorrow
Yes, but I, I walk the streets alone, the lost soul
Yes, but I, I am alone, because nobody loves me

My days are like my nights
In all respects
No joy and such trouble
Nobody whispers "I love you" in my ear

All the boys and girls my age
Make projects for the future
All the boys and girls my age
Know very well what love means
Eyes in eyes, and hand in hand

They fall in love without fear of tomorrow
Yes, but I, I walk the streets alone, the lost soul
Yes, but I, I am alone, because nobody loves me

My days are like my nights
In all respects
No joy and such trouble
Oh, when will the sun shine for me?

Like the boys and girls my age
Will I soon know what love is?
Like the boys and girls my age
I wonder when the day comes

Or the eyes in eyes, hand in hand
I will have the happy heart without fear of tomorrow

The day that I will no longer be a lost soul
They day that I, too, will get someone who loves me.

Ελευθερία Αρβανιτάκη - Δεν τραγουδώ παρά γιατί μ'αγάπησες (1996)



Στίχοι: Μαρία Πολυδούρη
Μουσική: Δημήτρης Παπαδημητρίου

Δεν τραγουδώ παρά γιατί μ' αγάπησες
σε περασμένα χρόνια.
Και σε ήλιο, σε καλοκαιριού προμάντεμα
και σε βροχή, σε χιόνια,
δεν τραγουδώ παρά γιατί μ' αγάπησες.

Μόνο γιατί με κράτησες στα χέρια σου
μια νύχτα και με φίλησες στο στόμα,
μόνο γι' αυτό είμαι σαν κρίνο ολάνοιχτο
κι έχω ένα ρίγος στην ψυχή μου ακόμα,
μόνο γιατί με κράτησες στα χέρια σου.

Μόνο γιατί όπως πέρναγα με καμάρωσες
και στη ματιά σου να περνάει
είδα τη λυγερή σκιά μου ως όνειρο
να παίζει, να πονάει,
μόνο γιατί όπως πέρναγα με καμάρωσες.

Γιατί, μόνο γιατί σε 'σεναν άρεσε
γι' αυτό έμειν' ωραίο το πέρασμά μου.
Σα να μ' ακολουθούσες όπου πήγαινα
σα να περνούσες κάπου εκεί σιμά μου.
Μόνο γιατί σε 'σεναν άρεσε.

Μόνο γιατί μ' αγάπησες γεννήθηκα
γι' αυτό η ζωή μου εδόθη.
Στην άχαρη ζωή την ανεκπλήρωτη
'μένα η ζωή πληρώθη.
Μόνο γιατί μ' αγάπησες γεννήθηκα.

Μονάχα για τη διαλεχτήν αγάπη σου
μου χάρισε η αυγή ρόδα στα χέρια.
Για να φωτίσω μια στιγμή το δρόμο σου
μου γέμισε τα μάτια η νύχτα αστέρια,
μονάχα για τη διαλεχτήν αγάπη σου.

Gorillaz - On Melancholy Hill (2010)



Up on melancholy hill
There's a plastic tree
Are you here with me?
Just looking out on the day
Of another dream

Well you can't get what you want
But you can get me
So let's set up and see
'Cause you are my medicine
When you're close to me
When you're close to me

So call in the submarine
'round the world we'll go
Does anybody know
If we're looking out on the day
Of another dream?

If you can't get what you want
Then you come with me

Up on melancholy hill
A manatee?
Just looking out on the day
When you're close to me
When you're close to me

When you're close to me.

James Vincent McMorrow - This Old Dark Machine (2011)



(verse 1)

spring it came upon us,
every insect filled the air
dropped their wings upon my brother,
cast their shadows on his hair

if we follow where they're leading,
we will surely come before
some unseen and wondrous magic
made of visions to explore

(chorus)
near the town where we were living
was an old abandoned farm
every year we'd plant an orchid
in the shelter of it's arm
to protect us from the madness
of the future still to come
it will be like this forever
I will keep you safe from harm

(verse 2)

then they caught us in the summer
dressed in fathers finest clothes
you the hat he wore to market
I the jacket filled with holes

I've been searchins all these hours
for a hand as pale as bone
that would keep the strongest sunlight
and reflect the brightest stone

(chorus 2)

near the town where we were living
was a warm and fragrant smell
of the orchid we had planted
now a forest tall and well
what a statue to our greatness
what a story all will tell
they'll remember us forever
they'll remember where we fell

(bridge)

this old dark machine, it shakes and it shudders
pulls to the left, then dies near the gutter
but still in the road, the traffic is silent
the people they stare, and then they turn violent
if they should touch, the hem of your dress
I would rise like a lion, strike out again
the faithful they wait, the faithful they wait
by the sign

(chorus 3)

near the town where we were living
came a loud and joyous sound
as the earth and all her beauty
picked us up from off the ground
carried far across the mountain
to a kingdom never bound
we will live like this forever
I will love you
I will love you
I will love you.

The High Numbers - Zoot Suit (1964)



I'm the hippiest number in town and I'll tell you why,
I'm the snappiest dresser right down to my inch wide tie,
And to get you wise I'll explain it to you,
A few of the things that a face is supposed to do.

I wear zoot suit jacket with side vents five inches long,
I have two-tone brogues yeah you know this is wrong.
But the main thing is unless you're a fool,
Ah you know you gotta know, yeah you know, yeah you gotta be cool.

So all you tickets I just want you to dig me,
With my striped zoot jacket that the salts can plainly see,
So the action lies with all of you guys,
Is how you look in the other, the other, yeah, the other cat's eye.

Well don't you see, well don't you see, well don't you see now,
Well don't you see now, come on baby, 'cause don't you see now, oh baby,
Well don't you see now, you drive me wild, hmm hmm hmm, you're crazy-looking now.

The Smiths - I Started Something I Couldn't Finish (1987)



The lanes were silent
There was nothing, no one, nothing around for miles
I doused our friendly venture
With a hard-faced, three-word gesture

I started something
I forced you to a zone and you were clearly
Never meant to go
Hair brushed and parted
Typical me, typical me, typical me
I started something
And now I'm not too sure

I grabbed you by the gilded beams
Uh, that's what tradition means
And I doused another venture
With a gesture that was absolutely vile

I started something
I forced you to a zone and you were clearly
Never meant to go
Hair brushed and parted
Typical me, typical me, typical me
I started something
And now I'm not too sure

I grabbed you by the gilded beams
Uh, that's what tradition means
And now eighteen months' hard labour seems fair enough

I started something
I forced you to a zone and you were clearly
Never meant to go
Hair brushed and parted
Typical me, typical me, typical me
I started something
And now I'm not too sure

I started something
I started something
Typical me, typical me
Typical me, typical me
Typical me, typical me, typical me
I started something
And now I'm not too sure.

Johnny Otis/Marci Lee - Castin' My Spell (1959)



I took a black cat, a cave bat, and threw them in a pot pot,
pot pot, pot pot
I took a blue snake, a green snake, and tied them in a knot knot,
knot knot, knot knot
I took a hog jaw, a dog's paw, and hung them on the line line,
line line, line line
I took a horse hair, a green pear, and made a crazy sign sign,
sign sign, sign sign

I'm castin' my spell on you, I'm castin' my spell on you
I'm castin' my spell on you, you'll never never be untrue

I took a goat's tooth, an old shoe, and put them in the ground ground,
ground ground, ground ground
I took an old dish, a dry fish, and made a crazy sound sound,
sound sound, sound sound
I took a goose egg, a frog leg, and hid them in a sack sack,
sack sack, sack sack
I got a Hindu, to tattoo, a genii on my back back,
back back, back back

I'm castin' my spell on you, I'm castin' my spell on you
I'm castin' my spell on you, you'll never never be untrue

I took a black cat, a cave bat, and threw them in a pot pot,
pot pot, pot pot
I took a blue snake, a green snake, and tied them in a knot knot,
knot knot, knot knot
I took a hog jaw, a dogs paw, and hung them on the line line,
line line, line line
I took a horse hair, a green pear, and made a crazy sign sign,
sign sign, sign sign

I'm castin' my spell on you, I'm castin' my spell on you
I'm castin' my spell on you, you'll never never be untrue

You'll never never be untrue
You'll never never be untrue
You'll never never be untrue
You'll never never be untrue
You'll never never be untrue.

Marc Almond/Gene Pitney - Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart (1988)



Something's gotten hold of my heart
Keeping my soul and my senses apart
Something's gotten into my life
Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife
Turning me up, turning me down
Making me smile, making me frown
In a world that was war
I once lived in a time
That was peace
With no trouble at all
But then you came my way
And a feeling I know
Shook my heart
(And) made me want you to stay
All of my nights
And all of my da-a-a-a-a-a-ays

(I wanna tell you now)
Something's gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land, yeah
Something's invaded my night
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey, changing the blue
Scarlet for me, scarlet for you

I've got to know if this is the real thing
I've got to know what's making my heart sing, oh yeah
A smile and I am lost for a lifetime
Each minute spent with you is the right time
Every hour (yeah) every day (yeah)
You touch me and my mind goes astray (yeah)
And baby (yeah), and baby (yeah)

Something's gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land, yeah
Something's gotten into my life
Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife
Turning me apart, turning me down
Making me smile, making me frown

In a world that was war
(In a world that was war)
I once lived in a time
That was peace
With no trouble at all
But then you! You! You!
You came my way
(But then you came my way)

And a feeling I know
Shook my heart
And made me want you to stay
All of my nights
And all of my da-a-a-a-a-a-ays

(I wanna tell you now)
Something's gotten hold of my heart
Keeping my soul and my senses apart, yeah
Something's invaded my night
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey, changing the blue
Scarlet for me, scarlet for you.
