Charlie



Refrain
I smile instantly
Each time i get to see
Your face on the screen,
The funniest that’s ever been!
Oh-oooh, Charlie...
You made us laugh, you made us cry
With your humour in black and white,
Oh-oooh, Charlie...
 
You needn’t speak to make us laugh,
In black and white you spent your life,
But gave us color and laughter
Just a little smile, all you were after…
Oh-oooh, Charlie...
 
With simple mimic, you taught us what fun is,
You will survive through centuries.
We understood what you meant without words
You made the tricks and waved like a lord,
Oh-oooh, Charlie...
 
Refrain: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
 
The sound of your voice was never heard
On tv, you never said a word
But we smiled for you when you were glad
And cried  with you when you were sad
Oh-oooh, Charlie...
 
Black moustache and eyes like cinder,
You got our attention with a finger
You hid millions of magic tricks in your hat
Showed them all and then walked away.
Oh-oooh, Charlie...
 
Refrain: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Nu suntem nemuritori



Şi câmpurile de lavandă violet se înnegresc
Şi soarele se prăbuşeşte-n mare
Şi părinţii noştri-mbătrânesc
Iar noi, cât mai rămânem tineri oare?...

Aşa cum stelele dispar la răsărit,
Aşa cum primăvara vine şi iar pleacă,
Aşa cum nu rezistă nimic la infinit,
Aşa şi viaţa noastră o să treacă.

Aşa cum se scutură la orice adiere
Frunze aurii, petale albe de flori
Ce trist e să ne luăm la revedere
Când aflăm că nu suntem nici noi
Nemuritori...

Your Majesty



Refrain:
Hey, King, 
I am staring at your photo on the wall
And the bartender tells me
That Memphis is the home of rock’n roll.
Here, they even play your music in the streets
They used to say that Elvis is destructive and forbidden for the kids
Now they say that Elvis is the King.
Hey, King, 
You went away long before I was born and you see,
I didn’t get to say Your Majesty.

Hey, King, 
I thought I saw you at Graceland, walking right through the door
You were holding your guitar and singing “Jailhouse rock”
I could swear I heard his voice
And I can’t put this into words,
Cause I swear to God that I have never seen
Since I last saw James Dean on the screen
Eyes that shined 
Just like the sun
And how I loved it when you sang those gospel songs
Now they finally say that you are the King
What the hell did it take them so long?

Refrain: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

Hey, King, 
It must’ve been unbelievable when you were gone, on 16th of August 1977
And I've never heard a voice like yours singing so sweetly Love Me Tender
His house became a museum
And people come to see him.
And I know that more than words could tell
They loved it when you sang “Heartbreak Hotel”
Photos on the walls,
In every place I go
I see your face on posters, you’re smiling back at me
And I’m only sorry that I never got the chance 
To see you and call you Your Majesty.

Refrain: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

Sunshine Smile


Refrain:

You light up the sky,
When you smile, son of mine,
With your sunshine smile
For which I wrote a lullaby.

If you’re smile could put an end to terror,
To all the hate that’s destroying our world,
I would let everyone see you,
And they would forget in a blink
What they are fighting for.
Soldiers would turn guns into flowers,
Presidents would talk of paradise,
People would feel that peace is in their power,
If they only saw your beautiful baby eyes.

Refrain: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

You hang the stars into the sky at night
With that pretty eyes and smile of yours,
You must be angel of light,
And I can’t help wondering
What you are smiling for.
But I’ll make sure you have reason for happiness,
Protect you when you smile in your sleep.
Pretty baby, I’ll sing you lullabies
And I’ll never love you any less.

Refrain: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

Not Human At All


You say you’re just a man who loves me desperately,
But then why are you turning all of this love against me?
Why are you putting a gun to my head every day.
Baby, you are killing me bit by bit
With everything that you do 
And all of these stupid roles that you play.

Refrain:
I loved you until I realized
There is no kindness at all in those blue beautiful eyes.
Just anger and hate and cruelty
And you use them all against me.
But what if the woman that used to love you says no 
Just when you need her the most?
Cause you’re not human at all.
Play your games
On someone else.
Take control
As you always do,
I’m over you,
Cause you’re not human at all! 

And baby, why are you hurting all the people that I care for,
How come for these questions, you don’t have an answer any more?
You had everything you could possibly dream of,
But you’re losing it bit by bit,
Cause you’re driving me away
How come you gave up the woman you claim to love?

Refrain: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

It’s a little bit too late to realize that you need my love
I realized first that you are not human at all.

Refrain: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

I'm Sorry I'm Not Sorry



In my mind I’ve repeated these lines
Until I had them memorized
So please, just let me tell you all I have to say
If you speak, I might not be able to go all the way.
Baby, how I loved you, but it’s over now.
I guess I slipped through your fingers somehow.
And now I don’t even know what I’m staying here for
Since, baby, I don’t feel in love with you any more.

REFRAIN
What am I supposed to feel for you
Everyone tells me not to cry
But why?
Cause I am really not going to.
I guess I knew from the beginning
It wasn’t going to last
I guess I’m only sorry I’m not sorry
That I lost you this fast.
I guess I just don’t love you any more
I’m sorry there is nothing to feel sorry for.

In my heart I hoped against the odds
But it’s over and it doesn’t even hurt.
There was a time when I felt that I couldn’t even breathe
If I didn’t here your voice, if you weren’t close enough to me.
But it’s all gone now and I guess I always knew
I wasn’t going to spend the rest of my life with you.
Don’t ask me silly questions, I don’t know what went wrong
I guess I always knew that it wasn’t going to last too long.

REFRAIN: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

Dragă Moş Crăciun


Dragă Moş Crăciun
Te-am rugat şi anul trecut
Dar poate că scrisoarea mea nu a ajuns la tine.
Ţi-am cerut atunci nişte cercei cu rubine
Dar acum nu mai sunt la modă şi m-am răzgândit
Acum îţi cer un nou iubit
Să arate ca Mister Univers, să facă tot ce vreau eu,
Îţi voi cere altul la anul, ăsta este genul meu.
Şi dragă Moş Crăciun, aş mai vrea
Pe lista ta să fie prima scrisoarea mea.
REFREN:
Moşule, ştii că nu sunt materialistă,
O să-ţi mai trimit o listă
Şi pe lângă aceste cadouri
Aş mai vrea o sumă cu multe zerouri!

Şi să mai pui de-o parte pentru mine o masină,
De preferat să fie limuzină.
Şi o rochie din mătasea cea mai fină.
Aş mai vrea şi un colier cu diamante
Un mic, dar nu prea mic, inel cu briliante
Nu sunt pretenţioasă, mă mulţumesc cu puţin
Dar nu mă supăr dacă pui de la tine un safir.
Merit tot ce-ţi cer că am fost cuminte,
Cine zice altceva, ştii sigur că minte!
REFREN:
Moşule, ştii că nu sunt materialistă,
O să-ţi mai trimit o listă
Şi pe lângă aceste cadouri
Aş mai vrea o sumă cu multe zerouri!

Şi, Moşule, aş mai vrea, o vilă la Saint Tropez
Te las pe tine să alegi un apartament în Champs Elysee.
Iar la vară de ziua mea,
Vreau excursie în America.
Şi Mosule, să nu uiţi ce ţi-am cerut
În scrisoarea de anul trecut.
Dacă nu găseşti un yacht, mă mulţumesc cu un hotel,
Ştii că nu sunt mofturoasă de fel.
REFREN:
Moşule, ştii că nu sunt materialistă,
O să-ţi mai trimit o listă
Şi pe lângă aceste cadouri
Aş mai vrea o sumă cu multe zerouri!
