Touched By The Sun ((French Version: L'année Du Dragon (Etienne Daho) - 2000)) Composer(s): Carly Simon First release: Carly Simon - 1994
If you want to be brave And reach for the top of the sky And the farthest point on the horizon Do you know who you'll meet there Great soldiers and seafarers Artists and dreamers Who need to be close, close to the light They need to be in danger of burning by fire And I, I want to get there I, I want to be one One who is touched by the sun One who is touched by the sun
Often I want to walk The safe side of the street And lull myself to sleep And dull my pain But deep down inside I know I've got to learn from the greats Earn my right to be living Let my wings of desire Soar over the night I need to let them say "She must have been mad" And I, I want to get there I, I want to be one One who is touched by the sun One who is touched by the sun
I've got to learn from the greats Earn my right to be living With every breath that I take Every heartbeat And I, I want to get there I, I want to be one One who is touched by the sun One who is touched by the sun

Comme un dragon de feu Qui transperce les étoiles Réinsuffle la vie et la déraison Équilibre les contraires Les défenses tombent Nos esprits se confondent Et installent l'harmonie D'apprendre à se donner Le meilleur de nous-mêmes Et en sortir grandis En toi, l'eau dans le désert En moi, le sage et le fou Vont apprendre à ne plus vivre seuls Être parfois tenté D'influencer le destin Triompher des non-dits, épancher ta peine Oh, mais enfin les larmes te libèrent La fuite en avant et les voies aériennes Ne nous détourneront pas de la chance donnée Ne lutte pas contre moi, ni contre toi-même Oh, et si j'ai trébuché pour atteindre ton âme Tu as su me comprendre et je saurai t'attendreComme un dragon de feu Qui transperce les étoiles Réinsuffle la vie et la déraison Équilibre les contraires Les défenses tombent Nos esprits se confondent Et installent l'harmonie D'apprendre à se donner Le meilleur de nous-mêmes Et en sortir grandis En toi, l'eau dans le désert En moi, le sage et le fou Vont apprendre à ne plus vivre seuls Être parfois tenté D'influencer le destin Triompher des non-dits, épancher ta peine Oh, mais enfin les larmes te libèrent La fuite en avant et les voies aériennes Ne nous détourneront pas de la chance donnée Ne lutte pas contre moi, ni contre toi-même Oh, et si j'ai trébuché pour atteindre ton âme Tu as su me comprendre et je saurai t'attendre

Je t'attendrai là jusqu'à minuit Mais sûrement pas toute ma vie Je t'attendrai là jusqu'à minuit Au maximum, mais après tant pis

Je t'attendrai là jusqu'à minuit Au rendez-vous, déjà, je suis Devant le barman abruti Qui me raconte toujours sa vie Minuit sonne, il me donne Un petit mot où je lis Que tout est fini Oh oui, que tout est fini

Oh oui, Ouais, c'est bien fini Oh oui, c'est bien écrit...
Turn The Page Composer(s): Bob Seger
First release: Bob Seger - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists
On a long and lonesome highway
East of Omaha
You can listen to the engine
moaning out his one note song
You can think about the woman
or the girl you knew the night before
But your thoughts will soon be wandering
the way they always do
When you're riding sixteen hours
and there's nothing much to do
And you don't feel much like riding
you just wish the trip was through
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Well you walk into a restaurant
strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you
as you're shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you
but you just want to explode
Most times you can't hear them talk
other times you can
All the same old clichés
Is that a woman or a man?
And you always seem outnumbered
you don't dare make a stand
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playing star again
There I go
Turn the page
Out there in the spotlight
you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy
you try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body
like the music that you play
Later in the evening
as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers
ringing in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette
remembering what she said
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playing star again
There I go
Turn the page
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playing star again
There I go
There I go
Janet: I was feeling done in Couldn't win I'd only ever kissed before
Columbia: You mean she...? Magenta: Uh-huh
Janet: I thought there's no use getting Into heavy petting It only leads to trouble And seat wetting Now all I want to know Is how to go I've tasted blood and I want more
Columbia & Magenta: More, more, more!
Janet: I'll put up no resistance I want to stay the distance I've got an itch to scratch I need assistance Touch-a, touch-a, touch-a, touch me I wanna be dirty Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me Creature of the night
Then if anything grows While you pose I'll oil you up And rub you down
Columbia & Magenta: Down, down, down!
Janet: And that's just one small fraction Of the main attraction You need a friendly hand And I need action Touch-a, touch-a, touch-a, touch me I wanna be dirty Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me Creature of the night
Columbia: Touch-a, touch-a, touch-a, touch me Magenta: I wanna be dirty Columbia: Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me Magenta: Creature of the night

Oh, there was a woman in the valley She had been sick, sick so very long When she heard that Jesus was passing by So she joined the gathering room And while she was pushing her way through Someone asked her: What are you trying to do She said if I could just touch the hem of His garment I know I'll be made whole
She cried Oh Lord, Oh Lord, Oh Lord, Oh Lord I know I'll be made whole
Oh, She spent her money here and there Until she had no, had no more to spare The doctors, they'd done all they could But their medecine would do no good When she touched Him The Savior didn't see But still He turned around and cried: Somebody touched me She said It was I who Just wanna touch the hem of Your garment I know I'll be made whole right now
She stood there crying Oh Lord, Oh Lord, Oh Lord, Oh Lord Said If could just touch the hem of His garment I know I'll made whole right now
I Live For You French & Italian Titles: Je Meurs de Toi; Mi Perdo In Te Composer(s): Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
I can still remember how you walked away And what was there I could do Standing there, I fumbled for some word to say That might have touched you then That would have said again I live for you
But you walked away without a second glance Although I reached for your hand Were you so afraid to take that second chance To live the life we planned To see it through, for don't you understand I live for you
My heart's an empty place without you I cannot face it when you're gone You are my everything, you're every song I sing You are the reason I go on You spray the magic world about you You paint the heavens blue I wait each day to live for you
I remember now how you came back to me Now all my shadows have passed Losing all my pain in your embrace again I kiss your face again, as in the past You understand at last, my world's all through This life I live, I live for you
Belle inconnue, qui êtes-vous? Vous ai-je déjà rencontrée vous qui marchez à pas de loup? Pourquoi ces cheveux de corail et votre peau d'étang glacé vos bras ouverts comme un portail sur un jardin d'aube nacrée? Que faites-vous dans mes pensées? Que fait la lune dans vos yeux? Na na na, ne pose pas de questions! Suis-moi jusqu'à l'amour, mon amour Na na na, ne pose pas de questions! Suis-moi jusqu'à l'amour, mon amour
Que faites-vous dans mon poème? Ne fuyez pas de rime en rime Je sais que déjà je vous aime je vous suivrai jusqu'au sublime Que faites-vous dans mes pensées? Que fait la lune dans vos yeux? Ne restez pas là presque nue il fait si froid et vous tremblez Chez nous, soyez la bienvenue! Pour vous, voici déjà l'été Na na na, ne pose pas de questions! Suis-moi jusqu'à l'amour Na na na, je n'ai plus de questions je sais que tu es l'amour! Na na na, je n'ai plus de questions je sais que tu es l'amour!

Jusqu'à Demain Peut-Être Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë; Michel Fugain Performer(s): Michel Fugain
Rapproche toi de moi J'ai besoin de parler Parler un peu de toi, de moi Jusqu'à demain peut-être Ou bien jusqu'à la mort
Je ne sais pas encore Le temps qu'il durera Cet amour que nous vivons là Jusqu'à demain peut-être Ou bien jusqu'à la mort Jusqu'à demain peut-être Ou bien jusqu'à la mort
On se jette dans l'amour Comme dans une eau claire Et l'on fête chaque jour Comme un anniversaire Et je te donne tout Et tu te donnes toi On dit qu'on ira jusqu'au bout On ne dit pas de quoi On dit que l'on y croit On dit n'importe quoi
Je ne sais pas encore Le temps qu'il durera Cet amour que nous vivons là Jusqu'à demain peut-être Ou bien jusqu'à la mort Jusqu'à demain peut-être Ou bien jusqu'à la mort
On ressemble, toi et moi À ces bêtes sauvages Qui se mordent quelques fois Pour s'aimer davantage
Jamais on n'a fait mieux Jamais on ne fera Avec un peu d'eau et de feu Plus grand amour que ça Plus bel amour que ça Plus bel amour que toi
(Je ne sais pas encore le temps qu'il durera ça durera) Jusqu'à demain peut-être Ou bien jusqu'à la mort Jusqu'à demain peut-être Ou bien jusqu'à la mort Peut-être, peut-être bien

Life has lost its meaning Losing time in dreaming Now I know I've been Infatuated, left frustrated You pass by, not caring I'm tongue-tied, preparing Speeches, then not daring To approach you or reproach you

Touch me in the morning Then just walk away We dont have tomorrow But we had yesterday
Hey, wasnt it me who said That nothing goods gonna last forever And wasnt it me who said Lets just be glad for the time together
It mustve been hard to tell me That youve given all you had to give I can understand youre feelin that way Everybodys got their life to live
Well, I can say goodbye In the cold morning light But I cant watch love die In the warmth of the night
If Ive got to be strong Dont you know I need to Have tonight when youre gone Till you go I need to
Lie here and think about The last time that youll
Touch me in the morning Then just close the door Leave me as you found me Empty like before
Hey, wasnt it yesterday We used to laugh at the wind behind us Didnt we run away and hope That time wouldnt try to find us
(Didnt we run Didnt we take each other To a place where no ones ever been Yeah, I really need you near me tonight Cause youll never take me there again
Let me watch you go With the sun in my eyes Weve seen how love can grow Now well see how it dies
If Ive got to be strong Dont you know I need to Have tonight when youre gone Till you go I need to
Hold you until the time Your hands reach out and
Touch me in the morning (Mornings where blue and gold and we could feel one another livin) Then just walk away (We walked with a dream to hold and we could take what the world was givin) We dont have tomorrow (Theres no tomorrow here, theres only love and the time to chase it) But we had yesterday (Yesterdays gone my love, theres only now and its time to face it)
Touch me in the morning (Wasnt it me who said that nothing goods gonna last forever) Then just walk away (And wasnt it me who said lets just be glad for the time together) We dont have tomorrow (Wasnt it yesterday we used to laugh at the wind behind us) But we had yesterday (Yesterdays gone my love, theres only now and its time to face it)
