Narrative
I hold you, I touch you – In a maze can’t find my way
Pinch me, I’m dreaming – I’m drowning, don’t save me – It’s just the way I’d like to go
You thrill me, half kill me – That’s what you do
Before my heart saw you – Each day was just another day – Night, the lonely interlude – Just came, then blew away… come what may
[Quincy Jones]
A love so close to nature came to me – a fragrance so sweet fill the air – feelings I have regret never stood a chance – a bitter sadness in my samba
[Steve Parks]
You better keep moving – Or you’ll be left behind – Keep moving
[Mr Scruff]
More then never we should be as one stay together – every day and again… make it better, safe under the sun – now and forever in a different world
[Barrio Jazz Gang]
You fall free style… down from the sky – I’ve been waiting… leap into my arms… dive into my soul… jump into my heart
Does it have to start right now – When you were almost ready – To leap from the sky down to me
Throwing your future into the wind, fearless… leap down from the sky – Down here by my side
You know that I’ve been waiting
[Gabin]
I’ll tell you how my day has been – How the sun has caught my face – How I lull myself to sleep
Waving shadows on my face – Chasing dreams that just passed by – Broken dreams, I’m just too late
If only you could keep me warm – If only you could keep me from harm – If only you could
[Basement Jaxx]
Love is like a never-ending melody – Always have compared it to a symphony
A symphony conducted by the lighting of the moon – But our song of love is slightly out of tune Once your kisses raised me to a fever pitch
Now the orchestration doesn’t seem so rich – Seems to me you’ve changed the tune we used to sing
Like the bossa nova, love should swing We used to harmonise, two souls in perfect time – Now the song is different and the words don’t even rhyme
Cause you forgot the melody our hearts would always croon – So what good’s a heart that’s slightly out of tune
Tune your heart to mine the way it used to be – Join with me in harmony and sing a song of loving
We’ve got to get in tune again before too long There’ll be no desafinado – When your heart belongs to me completely
Then you won’t be slightly out of tune – You’ll sing along with me
[Ella Fitzgerald]
Hay un suave murmullo/ There is a soft murmur – En el silencio de una noche azul/ In the silence of a blue night
Son dos enamorados/ Two lovers – Que encantados gozan del amor/ How delighted they enjoy love
Y ríe la vida/ And life laughs – Y que dice así/ What does it say
Y ríe la luna/ And the moon laughs – Y que dice así/ What does it say
[Buena Vista Social Club]
