ANSWER ME MY LOVE
By
Nasyid
***************
Answer me, oh, my loveJust what sin have I been guilty of?
Tell me how I came to lose your love
Please answer me, sweetheart
You were mine yesterday
I believed that love was here to stay
Won't you tell me where I've gone astray?
Please answer me, my love
If you're happier without me
I'll try not to care
But if you still think about me
Please listen to my prayer
You must know I've been true
Won't you say that we can start anew?
In my sorrow now I turn to you
Please answer me, my love
(If you're happier without me)
(I'll try not to care)
But if you still think about me
Please listen to my prayer
You must know (you must know)I've been true (I've been true)
Won't you say that we can start anew?
In my sorrow now I turn to you
Please answer me, my love
Answer me, my love
COME CLOSER TO ME
***************
Moonlight was made for a June nightAnd June nights were made , dear,
for love and romance
For heavenly kisses, for lips sweet and tender
On this night of splendour
You're so far away
Come closer to me so I can see
heaven in your eyes
Come closer to me so I can be
close to Paradise
Thrill me with your kisses
Let me learn what bliss is
Kiss me once and then we'll kiss and kiss again
And life will be divine
Come closer my dear
So I can hear
music in my heart
I've waited so long to hear
the song that youre love will start
Darling I'll adore you
Live my life just for you
All I ask is this
please give me one more kiss
and whisper you'll be mine
Come closer to me (etc...)
Hoy te estaba esperando
confiarte querida un
secreto de amor
Decirte bajito, bajito al oído
Muchas cosas lindas
Bien cerca de ti
Acercate más, y más, y mas
pero mucho mas
Y besame así, así, así
como besas tu
Pero besa pronto
Porque estou sufriendo
No lo estás tu viendo
Que lo estoy queriendo
sin quererlo tú
Acercate más, y más, y más
pero mucho más
Y besame así, así, así
como besas tu
Acaso pretendes a desesperar me
ven por Diós a darme
eso beso tuyo
que te pedí yo
Acercate más y más, y más (etc...)
CALYPSO BLUES
***************
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...
Sittin' by de ocean
Me heart, she feel so sad,
Sittin' by de ocean,
Me heart, she feel so sad...
Don't got de money
To take me back to Trinidad.
Fine calypso woman,
She cook me shrimp and rice,
Fine calypso woman,
She cook me shrimp and rice...
Dese yankee hot dogs
Don't treat me stomach very nice.
In Trinidad, one dollar buy
Papaya juice, banana pie,
Six coconut, one female goat,
An' plenty fish to fill de boat.
One bushel bread, one barrel wine,
An' all de town, she come to dine.
But here is bad, one dollar buy
Cup of coffee, ham on rye.
Me throat she sick from necktie,
Me feet hurt from shoes.
Me pocket full of empty,
I got Calypso blues.
Dese yankee girl give me big scare,
Is black de root, is blonde de hair.
Her eyelash false, her face is paint,
And pads are where de girl she ain't!
She jitterbug when she should waltz,
I even think her name is false.
But calypso girl is good a lot,
Is what you see, is what she got.
Sittin' by de ocean
Me heart, she feel so sad,
Sittin' by de ocean,
Me heart, she feel so sad...
Don't got de money
To take me back to Trinidad.
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...
(Repeat chant to fade)
BRUSH THOSE TEARS
***************
BRUSH THOSE TEARSBrush those tears from your eyes
And try to realize
That the ache in my heart is for you
Brush those tears from your eyes
And try to realize
That from now on I'll always be true
I went away
But I didn't mean to stay
And I will regret it
Until my dying day
Brush those tears from your eyes
And try to realize
That the ache in my heart is for you
BUT BEAUTIFUL
***************
(Jimmy Van Heusen, Johnny Burke)Love is funny, or it's sad,
Or it's quiet, or it's mad.
It's a good thing, or it's bad,
But beautiful...
Beautiful to take a chance
And if you fall, you fall,
And I'm thinking,
I wouldn't mind at all.
Love is tearful, or it's gay,
It's a problem, or it's play.
It's a heartache either way,
But beautiful...
And I'm thinking, if you were mine,
I'd never let you go.
And that would be but beautiful,
I know.
~interlude~
And I'm thinking, if you were mine,
I'd never let you go.
And that would be but beautiful,
That would be but beautiful...
I know.
AUTUMN LEAVES
***************
The falling leaves drift by the windowThe autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
C'est une chanson, qui nous ressemble
Toi tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
Nous vivions tous, les deux ensemble
Toi que m'aimais moi qui t'aimais
Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s'aiment
Tout doucement sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable les pas des amants désunis
