Lyrics

"Красиво" ("Beautifully")
by V.Meladze

Первый день весны
На краешке Земли
Нечаянно мы встретились с тобой
Падал белый снег
И розы не цвели
Но к нам пришла весенняя любовь
Она была отчаянно красива

Первый день зимы
На краешке Земли
Нечаянно расстались мы с тобой
Падал первый снег
И розы отцвели
От нас ушла весенняя любовь
Но ты была была отчаянно красива

Красиво
Ты вошла в мою грешную жизнь
Красиво
Ты ушла из нее
Но, играя, разбила мне душу
А ведь это совсем не игрушка
Это сердце мое

Красиво
Ты вошла в мою грешную жизнь
Красиво
Ты ушла из нее
Но, играя, разбила мне душу
А ведь это совсем не игрушка
Это сердце мое

Кончилась любовь
Когда пришла зима
Не долог был сезонный наш роман
Но было все отчаянно красиво

Красиво
Ты вошла в мою грешную жизнь
Красиво
Ты ушла из нее
Но, играя, разбила мне душу
А ведь это совсем не игрушка
Это сердце мое

Красиво
Ты вошла в мою грешную жизнь
Красиво
Ты ушла из нее
Но, играя, разбила мне душу
А ведь это совсем не игрушка
Это сердце мое

О-о-о-о это сердце мое
О-о-о-о это сердце мое


"Не тревожь мне душу, скрипка" ("Violin, please, don't disturb my soul")
by V.Meladze

Не тревожь мне душу, скрипка
Я слезы не удержу
Не томи меня своей печалью
Грусть-тоску мою с тобою
Ни за что не разделю
Всю ее себе оставлю
Юных лет хмельная дева
Помахала мне вослед
От меня к другому улетая
Годы пронеслись так скоро
Оглянуться не успел
Осень за окном седая

Выйду, дому поклонюсь
Молча богу помолюсь
И пойду искать края
Где живет любовь моя
Где живет любовь моя

В чистом небе белый лебедь
Надо мной крылом взмахнул
В голубой дали, как дым, растаял
Горы разведу руками
Трижды землю обойду
Где найду её – не знаю

Выйду, дому поклонюсь
Молча богу помолюсь
И пойду искать края
Где живёт любовь моя
Где живёт любовь моя



"Поцелуи" ("The kisses")
by VIA GRA

Как ты вычислил мои слабости, распознал мои сигналы S.o.s.?
Я не вынесла этой сладости, То, что было между нами - это месть.
И прятаться больше не в чем, держи меня крепче!

Уходи теперь не в окно, а в дверь, притворившийся котенком дикий зверь.
Это я смогла, это я была. Ты глазам своим не веришь - и не верь.
Теперь это все не важно, мне больше не страшно!

Направляй меня своею рукой,
Заслони собою от полнолуния.
Я готова быть ведомой тобой
Чем выше любовь, тем ниже поцелуи.

Направляй меня своею рукой,
Заслони собою от полнолуния.
Я готова быть ведомой тобой
Чем выше любовь, тем ниже поцелуи.

Зря ты вычислил мои слабости, распознал мои сигналы S.o.s.
Крылья выросли - так давай, лети! Я все помню: это было и это есть.
И прятаться больше не в чем, держи меня крепче!

Направляй меня своею рукой,
Заслони собою от полнолуния.
Я готова быть ведомой тобой
Чем выше любовь, тем ниже поцелуи.

Теперь уже все не важно, мне больше не страшно!

Направляй меня своею рукой,
Заслони собою от полнолуния.
Я готова быть ведомой тобой
Чем выше любовь, тем ниже поцелуи.

I made artistic interpretation of Heartbreak makes me a dancer.

А вместе с ним – я!

Остаться с тобою хотела,
Быть вместе хотела всегда.
Признаюсь, не удержала,
Тебя удержать не смогла.

Безвольно объята слезами,
Печалью страданий полна,
«С Тобою не быть мне отныне,» -
Промолвила тихо душа.

Но музыка кинула ноту,
И стала светлеть пелена…

Прошу!
Не покинь меня снова,
Звучи!
Не смолкай никогда!
Разбитое сердце –
Живое,
Танцует,
А вместе с ним – я!

Dj, раствори меня в ритме!
Любовь, вдохнови меня жить!
Одна – это значит – свободна…
Свободна
Мечту
Пригласить.

Мне нужно стать сильной
И чувствую –
Я, - на верном пути!
Отныне,
Каждый мой шаг,
Помогает
Приблизиться к новой Любви.

Dj, раствори меня в ритме!
Любовь, вдохнови меня жить!
Одна – это значит – свободна…
Свободна
Мечту
Пригласить.

Прошу!
Не покинь меня снова,
Звучи!
Не смолкай никогда!
Разбитое сердце –
Живое,
Танцует,
А вместе с ним – я!

I've got a chief at my work. Her name is Alla Vasil'evna. When I sing:"Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, mi amor Alla Vasil'evna De mi corazon " she knows I'm drunk.

Maybe it would be more close to the meaning in perfect form "Music have connected us" (Music made us to be connected)?

Lady Gagais is very known in Russia now. Her songs are bored me for latest time. But This one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY4jv3W3HKE (Paparazzi) is returned me into her fan club

ekaterinak,
The video for "The Kisses," is ummm... rather interesting. Are all of their videos like that?

As for BIS, so if I understand you correctly, they do not write their own songs? They just sing, dance and sort of play instruments (and of course look cute while doing so!)? Typical boy band material. They need to learn how to write their own stuff if they are going to last in the industry. Unless of course, they are going to cross over into acting.

This one is just for fun and I hope the link works for everyone. As it is only a minute and 49 seconds long, make certain you watch it ALL the way as the part at about the 1 minute mark is really spectacular...

(this is a link to a longer 6 minute version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05ip-N0H1Ig)

It is the acronym. Also this word you can hear after a performance of very good artists. This word (Бис) is a expression of delight and means "Please, repeat your performance again"

Originally Posted by rockzmom

Yes, they are Their songs are melodious and the lyrics have a lot of implications, metaphors.
You can see their video here http://www.via-gra.ru/section/4
Sometimes their lyrics are ambiguous. For example

Чем выше любовь, тем ниже поцелуи (from "Kisses" song)
The love is higher the kisses are lower.

It may be an expression about love to God
or about love between a man and a women too.

They don't write own songs. But Dmitriy Bikbaev write the plays (for the theatre). I hope he will be able to write own song soon.

It is not just the DJs that do the different versions. You have artists like "Timbaland" and Remix specialist "The Thin White Duke" (Stuart Price) and the original artist (Coldplay for example) themselves working on or encouraging others to do remixes. These days, when a song is NOT remixed it is as if the song is not any good or not worthy of a remix!

So, Coldplay is my example here... Coldplay actually played The Thin White Duke's remix version of "Viva La Vida" at their concerts prior to the concert starting and then gave the song away for free off their Website! That was how I found out about it. Now, normally I am not into remixed versions; yet, even though the intro is a little long, I do like this version. I have added it to the MR Playlist and it is song #33 and the lyrics are below.

Then, Coldplay's "Viva la Vida" album and Jay Z's "The Grey Album" were mashed up and the result was "Viva la Hova" which is heavy on the rap side (and I do mean straight up black rap, not crossover rap/pop or rap/rock/alternative) and the mash up got rave reviews not only from the industry but from the artists as well.

That project all started because of this video:

2nd link in case the above one does not work for you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OsV3Ep3dUA&fmt=18

ekaterinak, The Thin White Duke/Stuart Price also did a remix of Lady GaGa's - Paparazzi
http://www.zshare.net/audio/608722703b1a270d/ Let me know if you want me to add a specific version of Paparazzi to the MR Playlist or not.

Also, here are the Lyrics:

Paparazzi
LYRICS:
We are the crowd
We're c-coming out
Got my flash on it's true
Need that picture of you
It's so magical
We'd be so fantastico

Leather and jeans
Garage glamorous
Not sure what it means
But this photo of us
It don't have a price
Ready for those flashing lights
'Cause you know that baby I

I'm your biggest fan
I'll follow you until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
Baby there's no other superstar
You know that I'll be your
Papa-paparazzi

Promise I'll be kind
But I won't stop until that boy is mine
Baby you'll be famous
Chase you down until you love me
Papa-paparazzi

I'll be your girl
Backstage at your show
Velvet ropes and guitars
Yeah cause you'll know
I'm staring between the sets
Eyeliner and cigarettes

Shadow is burnt
Yellow dance and return
My lashes are dry
Purple teardrops I cry
It don't have a price
Loving you is cherry pie
'Cause you know that baby I

I'm your biggest fan
I'll follow you until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
Baby there's no other superstar
You know that I'll be your
Papa-paparazzi

Promise I'll be kind
But I won't stop until that boy is mine
Baby you'll be famous
Chase you down until you love me
Papa-paparazzi

Real good
(We dance in the studio)
Snap, snap
(To that sh*t on the radio)

Don't stop boy, let it rewind
We'll blast it but we'll still have fun

I'm your biggest fan
I'll follow you until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
Baby there's no other superstar
You know that I'll be your
Papa-paparazzi

Promise I'll be kind
But I won't stop until that boy is mine
Baby you'll be famous
Chase you down until you love me
Papa-paparazzi



Track # 33
Song: Viva La Vida (Thin White Duke Remix)
Artist: Coldplay
Album: Viva La Vida
Composers: Guy Berryman, Jon Buckland, Will Champion, Chris Martin
Year: 2008

Lyrics:
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listened as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead long live the king
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
Missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

George, I found the lyrics to Cancion Del Mariachi (Morena De Mi Corazon) and while searching for them I remembered a great song by "Los Lonely Boys" called "My Way." It is in English and is as they call a "Texican Rock n' Roll" song. I have two versions for everyone to take a listen to on YouTube. I put the album version on the MR Playlist.

"Album Version" (more rockish)
"Live Acoustic Version" (from VH1)

Here are the newest songs and lyrics added to MR Playlist:

Track # 34
Song: Музыка нас связала (Music Connected Us) in Russian
Artist: Мираж
Album:
Composer:
Year: 1980s

Lyrics:
Позабудь об этом дне
Спор не нужен никому
Не читай нотаций мне
Мама, это ни к чему

Снова к друзьям я своим убегаю
Что меня тянет сюда я не знаю
Без музыки мне оставаться надолго нельзя

Музыка нас связала
Тайною нашей стала
Всем уговорам твержу я в ответ
Нас не разлучат, нет

Музыка нас связала
Тайною нашей стала
Всем уговорам твержу я в ответ
Нас не разлучат, нет

Я забыла все, чему
Нас учили столько лет
Неужели я сама
Не найду на все ответ

Снова к друзьям я своим убегаю
Что меня тянет сюда я не знаю
Без музыки мне оставаться надолго нельзя

Музыка нас связала
Тайною нашей стала
Всем уговорам твержу я в ответ
Нас не разлучат, нет

Музыка нас связала
Тайною нашей стала
Всем уговорам твержу я в ответ
Нас не разлучат, нет


Track # 35
Song: Cancion Del MariachiI (Morena De Mi Corazon)
Artist: Los Lobos with Antonio Banderas
Album: Desperado: The Soundtrack
Composer:
Year: 1995

Lyrics: In Spanish
Soy un hombre muy honrado,
Que me gusta lo mejor
A mujeres no me faltan,
Ni al dinero, ni el amor

En mi caballo
Por la sierra yo me voy
Las estrellas y la luna
Ellas me dicen donde voy

Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay mi amor
Ay mi morena,
De mi corazón

Me gusta tocar guitarra
Me gusta cantar el sol
Mariachi me acompaña
Quando canto my canción

Me gusta tomar mis copas
Aguardiente es lo mejor
También la tequilla blanca
Con su sal le da sabor

Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay mi amor
Ay mi morena,
De mi corazón

(solo)

Me gusta tocar guitarra
Me gusta cantar el sol
Mariachi me acompaña
Cuando canto my canción

Me gusta tomar mis copas
Aguardiente es lo mejor
También la tequilla blanca
Con su sal le da sabor

Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay mi amor
Ay mi morena,
De mi corazón

Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay mi amor
Ay mi morena,
De mi corazón


Track # 36
Song: My Way
Artist: Los Lonely Boys
Album: Sacred
Composer: Henry Garza
Year: 2006

Lyrics:
I don't need no fortune
I don't need no fame
That's all just an illusion
To me it don't mean a thing

You can try and deceive me
But I see right through your skin
And what you're trying to tell me
Is something I don't believe in

Don't tell me how to live my life
Don't tell me how to pray
Don't tell me how to sing my song
Don't tell me what to say

Cuz I believe that miracles
happen every day
I don't care what you say,
I'm gonna do it my way

You say you have all the answers
And I should do it your way
How many times do I have to tell you
I ain't no puppet on a string
Listen to me...

Don't tell me how to live my life
Don't tell me how to pray
Don't tell me how to sing my song
Don't tell me what to say
Cuz I believe that miracles
happen every day
I don't care what you say,
I'm gonna do it my way
I'm gonna do it my way
What'd you say

Ohhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhh

Don't tell me how to live my life
Don't tell me how to pray
Don't tell me how to sing my song
Don't tell me what to say

Don't tell me how to live my life
Don't tell me how to pray
Don't tell me how to sing my song
Don't tell me what to say

Cuz I believe that miracles
happen every day

I don't care what you say
I'm gonna do it my way
I'm gonna do it my way
Ohhhhhhh I'm gonna do it my way

Since dance songs seem to be popular with this crowd, I am posting “Goodbye” by Kristinia DeBarge. It is not the greatest song on earth; but, for a debute song it is catchy as it has some of the song "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" by Steam in it. This means it is a pretty easy song to get stuck in your head and start tapping your toes to.

For the older generation, Kristinia, is the daughter of James DeBarge who was in the musical group DeBarge of the 1980s.
“Goodbye” was released back in April and is from her debut album “Exposed” which was just released on July 28. Kristinia will also be opening act for Britney Spears starting in August 2009.

Track # 37
Song: Goodbye
Artist: Kristinia DeBarge
Album: Exposed
Composer: Dawkins, DeCarlo, Dixon ...
Year: 2009

Lyrics:
Am I supposed to put my life on hold because
You don't know how to act and you don't know
Where you're life is going am I supposed to be
Torn apart, broken hearted, in the corner crying,
Pardon me if I don't show it

[Bridge:]
I don't care if I never see you again,
I'll be all right, take this final peice of
Advice and get yourself together,
But either way baby I'm gone.

[Chorus:]
I'm so over it, I've been there and back,
Changed all my numbers and just in case
You're wondering, I've got that new
{"I'm a single girl"} swag hot me with my
Girls and we're singing it, sing!

Na Na Na Na (Hey), Na Na Na Na (Hey), Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye [x2]

Cut my hair 'cause it reminded me of you,
I know you like the long 'do, had to switch
My attitude up.thinking of changing up how
I ride, no more on the passengers side to bad
You missed out on the way that I drive it.

[Bridge:]
I don't care if I never see you again, I'll be all right,
Take this final peice of advice and get yourself
Together, but either way baby I'm gone Ohhh.

[Chorus:]
I'm so over it, I've been there and back,
Changed all my numbers and just in case
You're wondering, I've got that new
{"I'm a single girl"} swag hot me with my
Girls and we're singing it, sing!

Na Na Na Na (Hey), Na Na Na Na (Hey), Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye [x2]

Hey, He-ey, Hey, He-ey, Hey, He-ey, Goodbye.

[Chorus:]
II'm so over it, I've been there and back,
Changed all my numbers and just in case
You're wondering, I've got that new
{"I'm a single girl"} swag hot me with my
Girls and we're singing it, sing!

Na Na Na Na (Hey), Na Na Na Na (Hey), Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye [x4]

I've heard the beginning of this song today and managed to find it on the Net. It certainly goes into my collection.

Is That All There Is?

SPOKEN:
I remember when I was a little girl, our house caught on fire. I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me up in his arms and raced through the burning building out to the pavement. And I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames. And when it was all over I said to myself, "Is that all there is to a fire?"

SUNG:
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

SPOKEN:
And when I was 12 years old, my daddy took me to the circus, the greatest show on earth. There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears. And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads. And as I sat there, watching, I had the feeling that something was missing. I don't know what, but when it was all over, I said to myself, "is that all there is to the circus?"

SUNG:
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

SPOKEN:
And then I fell in love, with the most wonderful boy in the world. We'd take long walks down by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes. We were so very much in love. And then one day he went away and I thought I'd die, but I didn't, and when I didn't I said to myself, "is that all there is to love?"

SUNG:
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep...

SPOKEN:
I know what you must be saying to yourselves, if that's the way she feels about it why doesn't she just end it all? Oh, no, not me. I'm not ready for that final disappointment, because I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you, when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath, I'll be saying to myself

SUNG:
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

Is That All There Is?

The back stroy on Wiki is almost as interesting as the song!

Is That All There Is?" is a song written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller and recorded by Peggy Lee in 1969. The song was originally recorded by Leslie Uggams in 1968.

It was a popular single, reaching number 11 on the U.S. pop singles chart - becoming Peggy Lee's first Top 40 pop hit since "Fever," 11 years earlier - and doing even better on the adult contemporary scene, topping that Billboard chart. It won Lee the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and then later was named to the Grammy Hall of Fame.

The orchestral arrangement on the song was composed by Randy Newman, who also conducted the orchestra.

Inspiration
The song was inspired by the story "Disillusionment" by Thomas Mann, written in 1896. The narrator in Mann's story tells the same stories of when he was a child.

One difference between the story and the song is that the narrator in Mann's story finally has a sensation to feel free when he sees the sea for the first time and laments for a sea without a horizon. Most of the lyrics of the chorus are actually spoken in the story.

I am in the process of addding it to the MR Playlist...

Now, I'm drinking beer & listening this
[video:29c0vzg3]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F73qeS9_fmE[/video:29c0vzg3]

Since we are back in the 60’s (and George is talkin' about drinkin'), I thought about two songs from that time period that were very popular. Both of these songs, along with their lyricist and singer, Roger Miller, won a total of 11 Grammys in 1964 & 1965.
1964 — Grammy Award: Best Country Song: "Dang Me"
1964 — Grammy Award: Best New Country and Western Artist
1964 — Grammy Award: Best Country and Western Recording, Single: "Dang Me"
1964 — Grammy Award: Best Country and Western Performance, Male: "Dang Me"
1964 — Grammy Award: Best Country and Western Album: "Dang Me"/"Chug-a-Lug"
1965 — Grammy Award: Best Country Song: "King of the Road"
1965 — Grammy Award: Best Country Vocal Performance, Male: "King of the Road"
1965 — Grammy Award: Best Country and Western Recording, Single: "King of the Road"
1965 — Grammy Award: Best Contemporary Vocal Performance, Male: "King of the Road"
1965 — Grammy Award: Best Contemporary (Rock 'N Roll), Single: "King of the Road"
1965 — Grammy Award: Best Country and Western Album: "The Return of Roger Miller"

Now, before you pass on listening to these two “Country and Western” songs, I strongly urge you to take the five minutes or so to listen to them. They are not your “typical” Nashville cry in your beer; my girl dumped me, songs. They are funny more crossover type songs with a little bit of jazz and scat in them. I hope you enjoy them.
Dang Me and King of the Road
Just for fun, Roger Miller on the Muppet Show!

Lyrics:
Boo-woo boop boop boop boop boo -ba-oo-ba boo boo bow
Ba-boo-ba bam...
Ba-bye-oo ba ba ba ba - by-oo boo boo bow

Well here I sit-a high, gettin' ideas
Ain't nothing but a fool would live like this
Out all night and runnin' wild
Woman sittin' home with a month old child

Dang me, dang me
They oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me

Just settin' around drinkin' with the rest of the guys
Six rounds we bought, and I bought five
Spent the groceries and half the rent
I lack fourteen dollars havin' twenty seven cents

Dang me, dang me
They oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me

They say roses are red and violets are purple
Sugar's sweet and so's maple surple
And I'm the seventh out of seven sons
My pappy was a pistol
I'm a son of a gun.

Dang me, dang me
They oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me

Lyrics:
Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let...fifty cents.
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but..two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.

Third boxcar, midnight train
Destination...Bangor, Maine.
Old worn out clothes and shoes,
I don't pay no union dues,
I smoke old stogies I have found
Short, but not too big around
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.

I know every engineer on every train
All of their children, and all of their names
And every handout in every town
And every lock that ain't locked
When no one's around.

I sing,
Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.

Thanks for this version. I'd like to include it to the MR Playlist
Also I vote for № 33, 37 and 36

Also I would like to support thread about Dj’s creation. I found one Russian song. A month (or two) ago you could hear it on all Russian radio stations. This song has sticked on ears of my countrymen. It’s name is “Moscow never sleeps”. I don’t tell about me that I like it very much. But I had listened the Dj remix of it and I changed my opinion. There was added a singing. The words of Lyric is very emotional and positive. Here is link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXANpfmiWVw I translated it. But I need some advices. I marked the compound lines by green.


Moscow never sleeps
By Timaty and Dj Smash

Moscow never sleeps.
Moscow never sleeps.
Я люблю тебя, Москва!
Люблю тебя.
Moscow never sleeps.
Я люблю тебя, Москва!
Люблю тебя.

А есть ли любовь?!
Возьми мое сердце,
Коснись меня взглядом,
Почувствуй тепло
И будь со мной рядом.
Не бойся любить
И разбей все преграды,
Ведь я, все быть может,
Люблю тебя тоже.
Я люблю тебя, Москва!
Люблю тебя.
Moscow never sleeps.

А есть ли любовь?!
Возьми мое сердце,
Коснись меня взглядом.
Ведь я, все быть может,
Люблю тебя тоже.

Возьми мое сердце,
Коснись меня взглядом,
Почувствуй тепло
И будь со мной рядом.
Не бойся любить
И разбей все преграды,
Ведь я, все быть может,
Люблю тебя тоже.

А есть ли любовь?!

Возьми мое сердце,
Коснись меня взглядом,
Почувствуй тепло
И будь со мной рядом.
Не бойся любить
И разбей все преграды,
Ведь я, все быть может,
Люблю тебя тоже.

Я люблю тебя Москва!
Люблю тебя.
Moscow never sleeps
Я люблю тебя Москва!

Moscow never sleeps


in English

Moscow never sleeps

Moscow never sleeps.
Moscow never sleeps.
I love you, Moscow!
I love you.
Moscow never sleeps.
I love you, Moscow!
I love you.

Would the Love exist?!
Take my heart,
Touch on me with your sight,
Feel the warm
And be near me.
Don’t be afraid of be loving
And break the all obstacles,
Everything may be,
Maybe I love you too.

I love you, Moscow!
I love you.
Moscow never sleeps.
Does the Love exist?
Take my heart,
Touch on me with your sight,
Everything may be,
Maybe I love you too.

Take my heart,
Touch on me with your sight,
Feel the warm
And be near me.
Don’t be afraid of be loving
And break the all obstacles,

I love you, Moscow!

(here is original version of the song, without vocal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPRxoncWiSA Feel the difference).

Also I found another one interesting things. I think everybody knows Moby and his song ”Everloving” There is the great music. But It was known by me from Russian singer Oskar. He little changed a rhythm and added vocal with lyric. Result is the hit song. I think that the lyric is about love, tenderness, mutual understanding, faithfulness and human life way. Here is link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PuJgxTuTxE. I translated it. But I need some advices. I marked the compound lines by green.

Между мной и тобой
By Оскар
Music by Moby

Сколько нам с тобой теперь осталось?
Лишь малость.
И живет со мной святая жалость – моя усталость.
Между мной и тобой остается ветер.
Между мной и тобой только слово: «Где ты?».

Нет моей вины, что тобой болею,
Седею.
Ты придешь ко мне, я тебя согрею,
Жалею.

Между мной и тобой остается ветер.
Между мной и тобой только слово: «Где ты?».
Между мной и тобой остается ветер.
Между мной и тобой только слово: «Где ты?».

Но снедает нас моя дорога – тревога.
Расстояние в жизнь – это так много,
Долго.
Между мной и тобой остается ветер.
Между мной и тобой только слово: «Где ты?».
«Где ты», – я спрошу,
Может, кто ответит.
Между мной и тобой остается ветер.

Ветер.
Где ты?
Может , кто ответит.
Где ты?

In English

Between me and you

How much time are we having for the future?/How much time will we have spent together?
Only a little.
And the saint pity as my tiredness are living inside me.
The wind is staying between me and you.
There is the word, “Where are you?”

It’s not my fair, that I am ached by you,
that I turned gray.
You will come to me, I will give you the warm heart.
I regret.

The wind is staying between me and you.
There is the word, “Where are you?”
The wind is staying between me and you.
There is the word, “Where are you?”

But my life choice is an anxiety is exhausted us.
The distant like a whole life, it is so much,
So long.
The wind is staying between me and you.
There is the word, “Where are you?”
“Where are you?”- I will ask.
Maybe somebody will reply to…
The wind is staying between me and you.

Wind.
Where are you?
Maybe somebody will reply to….
Where are you?

Track # 41
Song: Paparazzi (Stuart Price Remix)
Artist: Lady GaGa
Album: Paparazzi (The Remixes) - Single

Also, I found this other song that he did and I thought you (and CoffeeCup) might like it. Sneaky Sound System - It's Not My Problem (Radio Version). I added this to the MR Playlist as song #42. He also did a much longer 7:47 minute version.

A couple of interesting things about this song and the band.

Read this message that I get from their Web site

We are not available in your territory as yet, but you can purchase our CDs online through Australian online retailer Waterfront Records.

hehehe, I can't buy their records in the U.S.!!!

About the song "It's Not My Problem"

Release
The song was initially released to Australian radio in May, 2009 and only started getting substantial, but still little, airplay around June. No physical release is planned, due to CD Singles not selling well in Australia, and retail stores not stocking them.

Charts
The song was the 4th most added track to the radio on July 3, 2009
