Won't you take a bit of what is there for you? Go and catch a glimpse! It's not a joke, it's true. Such a sweet surprise you mustn't miss, oh no! Lots of people aren't as lucky as you, so... Try the old delightful art of floating with your mind, Leaving all your gloomy thoughts to sink and drown behind. Won't you take a part of what is here for you? Come and open up your ears! It's not a joke, it's true. Such a fine aroma you mustn't miss no more. Can't you pick it up? It's knocking on your door! Try the old delightful art of floating with your mind, Leaving all your gloomy thoughts to sink and drown behind. Won't you take a look? I've got a gift for you! Stop and have a taste! It's not a joke, it's true. Such a lovely flavour you mustn't miss, my dear. Yes you're fortunate, feel good and have no fear. Try the old delightful art of floating with your mind, Leaving all your gloomy thoughts to sink and drown behind.

There on stage, you looked the star of the band And yet, in truth, you gladly gave us a hand A wink, a smile, a slight nod of the head Great feeling, everything was said Off the stage, you were a pal to us all A drink, a joke, a few nice words or a call And even though you had a crazy week Always, you took the time to speak Now that you're gone No one else can play as you've done And I will muse to the end On the merry old way you called me your friend Solo time: you were as lithe as a cat Your violin sang, but also bit, even spat A river of sounds, either high or low Each time, a tune with style would flow Now that you're gone No one else can play as you've done But I will muse to the end On the merry old way you called me your friend

Un spectacle éblouissant Et des tours... abracadabrants ! Viens voir le cirque magique, Viens voir Dralin le magicien ! Un poisson nommé Socrate, Le champion des acrobates, Et jojo, l'équilibriste À gogo... sans bavure, bravo ! Ce bouffon de Zébulon ! L'évasion de Léon-le-Lion ! Un espion dans ta maison ! Les trois oursons de la baie d'Hudson ! Puis Merlin, le peintre-lutin, Et Lucienne, l'araignée magicienne ! Ah ! Quel acteur, ce raton-laveur ! Et le roi des jongleurs, Monsieur Bellefleur ! L'étonnante avalanche de planches ! La grosse punaise du Péloponnèse ! Non hélas, ce n'est pas l'as... Mais quoi de plus beau qu'un velours bien chaud ! Un festin de numéros, Du plus fou au plus rigolo ! Viens voir le cirque magique, Viens voir Dralin le magicien !

She may not have a lot to say Her velvet voice just takes you away And if she calls you "lovely boy" Be careful not to become her toy Beware my friend, she's only there To charm you, lonely bloke. Around the bend, she waits for you. She'll fake true love as a joke! She often takes her chance in a bar She rather chooses one with a car She may sit down for a drink or two But do not hope she will care for you Beware my friend, she's only there To charm you, lonely bloke. Around the bend, she waits for you. She'll fake true love as a joke... She paints her face and wets her lips Attractive she is to the fingertips She makes it hard for you to resist So that's a must for me to insist Beware my friend, she's only there To charm you, lonely bloke. Around the bend, she waits for you. She'll fake true love as a joke!

There's a secret road leading to your heart But I do not find it everyday So then I just can't believe my eyes When I see you standing on my way You are the one who makes me happy The one that I dream of Whenever I'm alone or sorry Whenever I need love There's a secret word speaking to your heart That I sometimes just forget to say So what a thrill reading in your eyes Forever your love is here to stay You are the one who makes me happy The one that I dream of Whenever I'm alone or sorry Whenever I need love

Damp and warm the whole year long Was this strange land we both lived in I was trying to write this song And you were there, near me, listening Lights went down No one came around A gentle breeze Whispered through the trees Silent words Only for the birds I felt you getting closer to me You took me by the hand tenderly Something in your eyes Seemed to crystallize And this incited me to do Another song of love for you Walking on the ocean shore We used to touch the blue sea foam Fearing that some crazy storm Would burst, we usually got back home Though, this time, The weather came sublime A gentle breeze Whispered through the trees Silent words Strictly for the birds I felt you getting closer to me You took me by the hand tenderly Something in your eyes Seemed to crystallize And this invited me to do Another song of love for you

What do you wanna live tonight? I wanna know, tell me what you wanna do. Who do you wanna love tonight? I wanna be yours, I wanna be with you. But if I am the one you need, Oh it's not time to hide the woman in you... Girl I need you, won't you tell me That you need me too? Where do you wanna be tonight? I wanna know, tell me me where you wanna go. Who do you wanna please tonight? Another guy, or me? I would like to know. But if I am the one you want, No it's not time to hide the woman in you... Girl I want you, won't you tell me That you want me too? Won't you say the words I long to hear? Tell me "I love you", please baby. Make it clear that I'm the one you love, Speak to my heart. Won't you tell me? When will you want to hold me tight? I wanna know! Don't keep so hard and cold. When will you want to hug me right? Don't let me wait until I have grown too old. But if I am the one you love, No it's not time to hide the woman in you... Girl I love you, won't you tell me That you love me too? Won't you say the words I long to hear? Tell me "I love you", please baby. Make it clear that I'm the one you love, Speak to my heart. Won't you tell me? Couldn't you say it to me?

Mum and Dad 02:34
Mum and Dad, When you come, we'll go again Hearing all those music treasures: Gorgeous pleasures, then! Like some we've had... If you please, We'll recall sweet memories: Nine of us well packed in the car, Driving somewhere far, Seeking warm seas... I dream of these days, Long to be with you two... You may think of a place, Think of a way we could get through. Dad and Mum, If you like, we"ll do a run, Going to where your imagination, Intuition lead... Heart and soul freed. And at times, We'll hang loose playing silly games... Toying with words or finding nicknames: Jam instead of James! Making up rhymes... I dream of these days, Long to be with you two... You may think of a phrase, Think of a word that would fit through. Mum and Dad, Will you come? I'd be glad, Dad and Mum.
