And here are the lyrics:

"Demons"

When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood’s run stale

I want to hide the truth
I want to shelter you
But with the beast inside
There’s nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide

When the curtain’s call
Is the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl

So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you made

Don’t want to let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don’t want to hide the truth

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide

They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go

Your eyes, they shine so bright
I want to save their light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide



Cheers :)

And here are the lyrics:

"Soak Up The Sun"

My friend the communist
Holds meetings in his RV
I can't afford his gas
So I'm stuck here watching TV
I don't have digital
I don't have diddly squat
It's not having what you want
It's wanting what you've got

[CHORUS:]
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up o I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I've got a crummy job
It don't pay near enough
To buy the things it takes
To win me some of your love
Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Maybe i am crazy too

[CHORUS]

I'm gonna soak up the sun
While it's still free
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Before it goes out on me
Don't have no master suite
I'm still the king of me
You have a fancy ride, but baby
I'm the one who has the key
Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Maybe I am crazy too

[CHORUS]

I'm gonna soak up the sun
Got my 45 on
So I can rock on.



Cheers :)

I Amar

"Yarabi" is a Romanian dance-pop and house act that started back in 2005 and became one of the most successful Romanian dance bands along with "O-Zone", "Morandi" and "Akcent". The duo consists of composer, orchestrator and sound engineer "IC Tiu" (Ionut Cristian Tiu) and vocalist "Fillip" (Adrian Filipidescu).
 
"I Amar" is a Euro-house song by "Yarabi", from their debut self-titled album released on September 24, 2007. This song, along with other songs of Yarabi, was inspired by legends of medieval Transylvania and Moldova. The lyrics are from stories and legends of wizards and sung in the "Sindarin" language, making its theme very similar to the films "Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings". The video was filmed at the "Neamt Citadel", an old castle in Moldova dating from the 14th century.





Here's a link to the official music video:

And here are the lyrics with their translation:

"I Amar" (Original)

I amar prestar aen…
Han mathon ne nen…
Han mathon ne chae…
A han noston ned gwilith…
Han mathon ne chae…
Speranta din mine s-a irosit
Lumina din suflet m-a parasit.

M-am intors in timp sa te gasesc
Am schimbat ceva sa te opresc
Doar in lumea mea pot sa zambesc
Cu fiinta ta ma implinesc.
I amar prestar aen…
Han mathon ne nen…
Han mathon ne chae…
A han noston ned gwilith…
Han mathon ne chae…
Alunga-mi durerea din cale
Trimite-mi din ceruri lumina ta.

Te-am visat in Rai cum te jucai
Cu privirea ta ma alinai
Lacrimi de cristal imi trimiteai
Cu durerea ta ma intristai.
I amar prestar aen…
Han mathon ne nen…
Han mathon ne chae…
A han noston ned gwilith…
Han mathon ne chae…
Lumina din suflet m-a parasit...

Frumusetea ta ma alinta
Nefiinta mea ne apropie
Dar in lumea ta nu pot intra
Suferinta mea e linïstea.
I amar prestar aen…
Han mathon ne nen…
Han mathon ne chae…
A han noston ned gwilith…
Han mathon ne chae…
 
 
"I Amar" (English Translation)

The world is changed
I feel it in the water...
I feel it in the Earth.
I smell it in the air.
I feel it in the Earth.
My hope has elapsed
The inner light has left me.

I turned back in time in order to find you
I've changed something so I could stop you
Only in my world I am able to smile
Together with your being I feel complete.
The world is changed
I feel it in the water...
I feel it in the Earth.
I smell it in the air.
I feel it in the Earth.
Chase away the pain from my path
Send me your light from Heaven.

I dreamt about you playing in Heaven
You were conforting me with your look
And sending me crystal tears
Making me sad with your pain.
The world is changed
I feel it in the water...
I feel it in the Earth.
I smell it in the air.
I feel it in the Earth.
The inner light has left me...

Your beauty spoils me
My death is getting us closer
But I cannot enter your world
Silence is my pain.
The world is changed
I feel it in the water...
I feel it in the Earth.
I smell it in the air.
I feel it in the Earth.



Cheers :)

Ma Liberté De Penser

An iconic French artist with an amazing career of over 20 years and 20 albums, is the great "Florent Pagny". This next song is one of his best and most successful songs that carries, in an ironic manner, a very important message and that is the independence of mind.
 
"Ma Liberté De Penser" is a pop hit by "Florent Pagny", released as the 1st single from his 10th album "Ailleurs land" in March 2003. It was written and composed by the French songwriter-painter-photographer "Lionel Florence" and the French singer-songwriter "Pascal Obispo".




Here's a link to the official music video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6w5vWHqU3uM


And here are the lyrics:

"Ma Liberté De Penser"

Quitte à tout prendre prenez mes gosses et la télé,
Ma brosse à dent mon revolver la voiture ça c'est déjà fait,
Avec les interdits bancaires prenez ma femme, le canapé,
Le micro onde, le frigidaire,
Et même jusqu'à ma vie privée
De toute façon à découvert,
Je peux bien vendre mon âme au Diable,
Avec lui on peut s'arranger,
Puisque ici tout est négociable, mais vous n'aurez pas,
Ma liberté de penser.

Prenez mon lit, les disques d'or, ma bonne humeur,
Les petites cuillères, tout ce qu'à vos yeux a de la valeur,
Et dont je n'ai plus rien à faire, quitte à tout prendre n'oubliez pas,
Le shit planqué sous l'étagère,
Tout ce qui est beau et compte pour moi,
J' préfère que ça parte à l'Abbé Pierre,
J' peux donner mon corps à la science,
S' il y'a quelque chose à prélever,
Et que ça vous donne bonne conscience, mais vous n'aurez pas,
Ma liberté de penser.
Ma liberté de penser.

J' peux vider mes poches sur la table,
Ca fait longtemps qu'elles sont trouées,
Baisser mon froc j'en suis capable, mais vous n'aurez pas,
Ma liberté de penser.
Quitte à tout prendre et tout solder,
Pour que vos petites affaires s'arrangent,
J' prends juste mon pyjama rayé,
Et je vous fais cadeaux des oranges,
Vous pouvez même bien tout garder,
J'emporterai rien en enfer,
Quitte à tout prendre j' préfère y' aller,
Si le paradis vous est offert,
Je peux bien vendre mon âme au diable,
Avec lui on peut s'arranger,
Puisque ici tout est négociable, mais vous n'aurez pas,
Non vous n'aurez pas,
Ma liberté de penser.
Ma liberté de penser.



Cheers :)

And here are the lyrics:

"Karma Chameleon"

Desert loving in your eyes all the way
If I listened to your lies would you say
I'm a man
without conviction
I'm a man
who doesn't know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go
You come and go
Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon
You come and go
You come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream
Red gold and green
Red gold and green
Didn't hear your wicked words every day
And you used to be so sweet I heard you say
That my love
was an addiction
When we cling
our love is strong
When you go
you're gone forever
You string along
You string along
Every day is like a survival
You're my lover not my rival
Every day is like a survival
You're my lover not my rival
I'm a man without conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go
You come and go



Cheers :)

Here's a link to a great performance of the song live:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZLBGEwWWsw&feature=player_embedded


And here are the lyrics:

"Johnny B. Goode"

Deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans,
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood,
Where lived a country boy named of Johnny B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well,
But he could play the guitar like ringing a bell.

[Chorus:]
Go Go
Go Johnny Go
Go Go
Johnny B. Goode

He use to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Or sit beneath the trees by the railroad track.
Oh, the engineers used to see him sitting in the shade,
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made.
The People passing by, they would stop and say
Oh my that little country boy could play

[Chorus]

His mother told him someday you will be a man,
And you would be the leader of a big old band.
Many people coming from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun go down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight.

[Chorus]



Cheers :)

"Pursuit Of Happiness"
(feat. MGMT, Ratatat)

Crush a bit, little bit, roll it up, take a hit
Feelin’ lit feelin’ light, 2 am summer night.
I don't care, hand on the wheel, driving drunk, I'm doin’ my thing
Rollin the Midwest side and out livin’ my life getting’ out dreams
People told me slow my roll I'm screaming out fuck that
Imma do just what I want lookin’ ahead no turnin’ back
If I fall if I die know I lived it to the fullest
If I fall if I die know I lived and missed some bullets

[2x]
I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold
I'll be fine once I get it, yeah
I'll be good.

Tell me what you know about dreamin’ dreamin’
You don't really know about nothin’ nothin’
Tell me what you know about them night terrors every night
5 am, cold sweats wakin’ up to the sky
Tell me what you know about dreams, dreams
Tell me what you know about night terrors, nothin’
You don't really care about the trials of tomorrow
Rather lay awake in a bed full of sorrow

[2x]
I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold
I'll be fine once I get it, yeah
I'll be good.

I'm on the pursuit of happiness.
I know everything that shine ain't always gold
I'll be fine once I get it, yeah
I'll be good.

[2x]
I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold, hey
I'll be fine once I get it, yeah
I'll be good

Pursuit of happiness, yeah
I don’t get it, I’ll be good

[Narration:]
Oh man, uhh, wingspan, bat, zooly.
Oh God, why did I drink so much and smoke so much
Ah, fuck it


Cheers :)
