GREENSLEEVES

Psyché et l'Amour d'Antonio Canova
( 1757-1822)

Alas my love you do me wrong
To cast me out discourteously
When I have loved you so so long
Delighting in your company

Your gown was of the grassy green
Your sleeves of satin were hanging by
Which made you be a harvest queen
Yet you would not love me

Green sleeves was my all my joy
Green sleeves was my delight
Green sleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady green sleeves

Alas my love you do me wrong
To cast me out discourteously
When I have loved you so so long
Delighting in your company
******

Traduction :
Hélas, mon amour, vous me blessez,
Me rejetant ainsi sans courtoisie :
Et je vous ai aimée si longtemps
Me réjouissant en votre compagnie.

Greensleeves était toute ma joie,
Greensleeves était mon allégresse,
Greensleeves était mon cœur d'or,
Et qui, à part ma Dame, Greensleeves.

Note : Les paroles de Greensleeves datant du Moyen-Age,
on suppose que l'auteur parlait d'un fief , en Angleterre.

Alas my love, you do me wrong,
Casting me off discourteously
And I have loved you so long
Delighting in your company

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my Lady Greensleeves.

I have been ready at your hand,
To grant whatever you would'st crave,
I have waged both life and land
You love and goodwill for to have

Greensleeves was all my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
Greensleeves was my heart of joy
And who but my Lady Greensleeves.

The petticoat of sendle white,
With gold embroidered gorgeously;
The petticoat of silk and white
And these I bought gladly.

Greensleeves was all my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
Greensleeves was my heart of joy
And who but my Lady Greensleeves.

SUMMER PLACE
Percy Faith

A Summer Place

There's a summer place
Where it may rain or storm
Yet I'm safe and warm
For within that summer place
Your arms reach out to me
And my heart is free from all care
For it knows
There are no gloomy skies
When seen through the eyes
Of those who are blessed with love
And the sweet secret of
A summer place
Is that it's anywhere
Where two people share
All their hopes
All their dreams
All their love

And the sweet secret of
A summer place
Is that it's anywhere
Where two people share
All their hopes
All their dreams
All their love

Green leaves of summer
The Alamo

Wo...wo...
A time to be reaping
A time to be sowing
The green leaves of summer
Are calling me home "
Twas so good to be young then
In the season of plenty
When the catfish were jumping
As high as the sky

A time just for planting
A time just for ploughing
A time to be courting
A girl of your own "
Twas so good to be young then
To be close to the earth
And to stand by your wife
At the moment of birth, wo...

A time to be reaping
A time to be sowing
A time just for living
A place for to die "
Twas so good to be young then
To be close to the earth
Now the green leaves of summer
Are calling me home "
Twas so good to be young then
To be close to the earth
Now the green leaves of summer
Are calling me home

Greenfields
The Brothers Four

Once there were green fields, kissed by the sun.
Once there were valleys, where rivers used to run.
Once there were blue skies, with white clouds high above.
Once they were part of an everlasting love.
We were the lovers who strolled through green fields.

Green fields are gone now, parched by the sun.
Gone from the valleys, where rivers used to run.
Gone with the cold wind, that swept into my heart.
Gone with the lovers, who let their dreams depart.
Where are the green fields, that we used to roam ?

I'll never know what, made you run away.
How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day.
I only know there's, nothing here for me.
Nothing in this wide world, left for me to see.

Still I'll keep on waiting, until you return.
I'll keep on waiting, until the day you learn.
You can't be happy, while your heart's on the roam,
You can't be happy until you bring it home.
Home to the green fields, and me once again

DEMIS ROUSSOS

Forever and ever

Demis Roussos chantant devant Poutine avec tout le folkore russe autour, c'est pas mal !

Ever and ever, forever and ever you'll be the one
That shines in me like the morning sun.
Ever and ever, forever and ever you'll be my spring,
My rainbow's end and the song I sing.

Take me far beyond imagination.
You're my dream come true, my consolation.

Ever and ever, forever and ever you'll be my dream,
My symphony, my own lover's theme.
Ever and ever, forever and ever my destiny
Will follow you eternally.

Take me far beyond imagination.
You're my dream come true, my consolation.

Ever and ever, forever and ever you'll be the one
That shines in me like the morning sun.
Ever and ever, forever and ever my destiny
Will follow you eternally

Nancy et Franck SINATRA

Something stupid

Sur des photos de Grace Kelly, une belle mélodie de Francky

I know I stand in line
Until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance
I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me

Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid
Like I love you

I can see it in your eyes
That you despise the same old lines
You heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you
For me it's true
And never seemed so right before

I practice every day to find some clever
lines to say
To make the meaning come through
But then I think I'll wait until the evening
gets late
And I'm alone with you

The time is right
Your perfume fills my head
The stars get red
And oh the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid
Like I love you
I love you...
