And here are the lyrics:

"We Are The People"
We can remember swimming in December
Heading for the city lights in 1975
We share in each other
Nearer than farther
The scent of a lemon drips from your eyes

We are the people that rule the world
A force running in every boy and girl
All rejoicing in the world
Take me now, we can try

We lived an adventure
Love in the Summer
Followed the sun till night
Reminiscing other times of life
For each every other
The feeling was stronger
The shock hit eleven, got lost in your eyes

I can't do well when I think you're gonna leave
But I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now?
Can't you be believing now?

I can't do well when I think you're gonna leave
But I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now?
Can't you be believing now?

Can you remember and humanise?
It was still where we'd energised
Lie in the sand and visualise
Like it's '75 again

We are the people that rule the world
A force running in every boy and girl
All rejoicing in the world
Take me now, we can try

I can't do well when I think you're gonna leave
But I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now?
Can't you be believing now?

I can't do well when I think you're gonna leave
But I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now?
Can't you be believing now?

I know everything about you
You know everything about me
We know everything about us

I know everything about you
You know everything about me
We know everything about us

I can't do well when I think you're gonna leave
But I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now?
Can't you be believing now?

I can't do well when I think you're gonna leave
But I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now?
Can't you be believing now?

[Faded]
I can't do well when I think you're gonna leave
But I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now?
Can't you be believing now?



Cheers :)

"Halili"

Wily wily ya ba

Cheb Mami :

W ana kounte fssertak el bareh

Et qu'il veut revenir
Pour que je puisse lui pardonner
Tous ce qu'il m'a fait subir

Wily wily ya ba

Zaho:

Il dit qu'il a beaucoup changé
Même si il m'a trahi
Et qu'il est prêt à se ranger
Mais je n'ai pas envie
Passer ma vie à me demander
Si c'est vraiment fini
Parmi tous ceux qui ont compté
Pourquoi je l'ai choisi !

Ya habibi galbi mehtajek

And here are the lyrics:

 

"Highway 20 Ride"

I ride east every other Friday but if I had it my way
Days would not be wasted on this drive
And I want so bad to hold you
Son, there's things I haven't told you
Your mom and me just couldn't get along

So I'll drive
And I think about my life
And wonder why I'll slowly die inside
Everytime I turn that truck around, right at the Georgia line
and I count the days and the miles back home to you on that Highway 20 ride

A day might come and you'll realize that if you could see through my eyes
There was no other way to work it out
And a part of you might hate me
But son please don't mistake me
For a man that didn't care at all

So I drive
And I think about my life
And wonder why I'll slowly die inside
Everytime I turn that truck around, right at the Georgia line
and I count the days and the miles back home to you on that Highway 20 ride

So when you drive
And the years go flying by
I hope you smile
If I ever cross your mind
It was a pleasure of my life
And I cherished every time
And my whole world
It begins and ends with you
On that Highway 20 ride....

 

 

Cheers :)

And here are the lyrics:

"Blue Eyes Blue"

I thought that you'd be loving me
I thought you were the one who'd stay forever
But now forever's come and gone
And I'm still here alone

'Cause you were only playing
You were only playing with my heart
I was never waiting, I was never waiting for the tears to start

It was you
Who put the clouds around me
It was you
Who made the tears fall down
It was you
Who broke my heart in pieces
It was you, it was you
Who made my blue eyes blue

Oh, Never should have trusted you

I thought that I'd be all you need
In your eyes I thought I saw my heaven
And now my heavens gone away
And I'm out in the cold

'Cause you had me believing
You had me believing in a lie
Guess I couldn't see it
Guess I couldn't see it till I saw goodbye

It was you
Who put the clouds around me
It was you
Who made the tears fall down
It was you
Who broke my heart in pieces
It was you, it was you
Who made my blue eyes blue

Oh, Never should have trusted you

' Cause you were only playing
You were only playing with my heart
I was never waiting
I was never waiting for the tears to start

It was you
Who put the clouds around me
It was you
It was you
Who put those clouds around me
It was you
Who made the tears fall down
Only you
Who broke my heart in pieces
It was you
It was you
Who made my blue eyes blue

oh, never should have trusted you
oh, never should have trusted you
oh, never should have trusted you
oh, never should have trusted you

"A Victory of Love"

 

Waiting
For a change in the weather
I'm waiting for a shift in the air
Could we get it together, ever
Hoping for your return, hoping for your sweet, sweet
Return

Hello
Is this heaven calling
Hello, hello, is somebody there, she must be somewhere
And then she says hello, hello, hello
She's really an angel
She stands in the sunshine
She's closing her eyes, she starting to dream,
She's pulling the strings
She's dreaming a strange dream
Where nothing is grey
Then she takes me away and she's pulling the strings
When she's playing with love
She's playing with love...

Counting
I count every second
And I'm standing
I stand in the rain, I walk up that lane
Which leads to the sunshine
She stands in the sunshine
She's closing her eyes
Then she takes me away and she's pulling the strings
When she's playing with love
She's playing with love...

Pida Me La

For all Spanish music lovers, here's a great group and a great song for you. These musicians were born in France but come from gitanos parents from Catalonia, Spain. As their name tells us, the great "Gipsy Kings" are the kings of rumba catalana and flamenco music styles which they introduced to a world-wide audience. This next song is one of my favourites; and whether you're into this type of music or not, you will be captivated by the music, the emotions and that strong tender voice.

 

"Pida Me La" is a Latin/Flamenco song by "Gipsy Kings", first released as a single in 1992 and later appeared on their album "Gipsy Kings (Greatest Hits)" released in 1999. This song was written and composed by the group itself.

"Pida Me La"

Cada vez, que siempre la recuerdo
Cada vez, se que vuelve a dejarme
Quisera, nunca va a haber
Tristeza en corazon
Volver, nunca vuelve a dejarme

Pida me la,
Esta nina que yo quiero
Pida me la
Esta nina que me muero
Pida me la, Pida me la....

Pida me la,
Esta nina que yo quiero
Pida me la
Esta nina que me muero
Pida me la, Pida me la....

Cada vez, que siempre la recuerdo
Cada vez, se que vuelve a dejarme
Quisera, nunca va a haber
Tristeza en corazon
Volver, nunca vuelve a dejarme

didi didi didi...........etc.

Pida me la,
Esta nina que yo quiero
Pida me la
Esta nina que me muero
Pida me la, Pida me la....
