Wish you were here
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange
a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,
year after year,
running over the same old ground. What have we found?
The same old fears,
wish you were here
Shimbalaiê
Shimbalaiê, quando vedo il sole che bacia il mare
Shimbalaiê, tutte le volte che va a riposare
Natura, dea di vita
la belezza pura di nascere
Un fiore che brilla alla luce del sole
Pescando tra il mare e l’amo
Pensiero libero come il cielo
Immagina una barca di carta
Andando via per non tornare
Viaggiando come iemanjá
Refrain (2X):
Shimbalaiê, quando vedo il sole che bacia il mare
Shimbalaiê, tutte le volte che va a riposare
Quanto tempo ci vuole ad imparare
Che un fiore è vivo quando nasce
Questo fiore che brilla alla luce del sole
Pescatore tra l’amo e il mare
Refrain (2X):
Shimbalaiê, quando vedo il sole che bacia il mare
Shimbalaiê, tutte le volte che va a riposare
Essere capitani di questo mondo
Poter girare senza frontiere
Vivere un anno in un secondo
Non pensare che i sogni siano senza senso
Incantarmi con un libro
Che parla di vanità
Quando si deve mentire
Poter dire la verità
Refrain (2X):
Shimbalaiê, quando vedo il sole che bacia il mare
Shimbalaiê, tutte le volte che va a riposare
*Parola africana attraverso cui gli orixás africani portano un conforto di pace e bontà, di forze positive. E’ altresì una forma di benessere con la natura.
Wild is the wind
Love me love me love me
Say you do
Let me fly away
With you
For my love is like
The wind
And wild is the wind
Give me more
Than one caress
Satisfy this
Hungriness
Let the wind
Blow through your heart
For wild is the wind
You…
Touch me…
I hear the sound
Of mandolins
You…
Kiss me…
With your kiss
My life begins
You’re spring to me
All things
To me
Don’t you know you’re
Life itself
Like a leaf clings
To a tree
Oh my darling,
Cling to me
For we’re creatures
Of the wind
And wild is the wind
So wild is the wind
Wild is the wind
Wild is the wind
The look of love
The look of love
Is in your eyes
The look your heart can’t disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
You’ve got the look of love
It’s on your face
A look that time can’t erase
Be mine tonight
Let this be just the start
Of so many nights like this
Let’s take a lover’s vow
And then seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don’t ever go
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don’t ever go
Don’t ever go
I love you so
Night and day
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon, under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It’s no matter darlin’, where you are
I think of you night and day
Night and day, why’s it so
That this longing for you, follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic’s boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you night and day
Night and day, under the hide of me
There’s an ooh, such a hungry yearning, burning inside of me
And this torment won’t be through
Till you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and Night
Night and Day
The man I love
Someday he’ll come along, The man I love He’ll look at me and smile, I’ll understand Maybe I shall meet him Sunday, He’ll build a little home, That’s meant for two
And he’ll be big and strong, The man I love
And when he comes my way
I’ll do my best to make him stay
Then in a little while, He’ll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won’t say a word
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still I’m sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
From which I’ll never roam, Who would, would you
And so all else above
I’m dreaming of the man I love
Make you feel my love
When the rain is blowing in your face,
and the whole world is on your case,
I could offer you a warm embrace
to make you feel my love.
When the evening shadows and the stars appear,
and there is no one there to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years
to make you feel my love.
I know you haven’t made your mind up yet,
but I would never do you wrong.
I’ve known it from the moment that we met,
no doubt in my mind where you belong.
I’d go hungry; I’d go black and blue,
I’d go crawling down the avenue.
No, there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
to make you feel my love.
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
and on the highway of regret.
Though winds of change are throwing wild and free,
you ain’t seen nothing like me yet.
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true.
Nothing that I wouldn’t do.
Go to the ends of the Earth for you,
to make you feel my love
