Africa - Toto

I hear the drums echoing tonight But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation She's coming in, 12.30 flight The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation I stopped an old man along the way Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you" It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had The wild dogs cry out in the night As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company I know that I must do what's right As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain) I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain) I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa (Ah, gonna take the time) Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Una bella historia - Michel Fugain

C'est un beau roman, c'est une belle histoire

C'est une romance d'aujourd'hui

Il rentrait chez lui, là-haut vers le brouillard

Elle descendait dans le midi, le midi

Ils se sont trouvés au bord du chemin

Sur l'autoroute des vacances

 

C'était sans doute un jour de chance

Ils avaient le ciel à portée de main

Un cadeau de la providence

Alors pourquoi penser au lendemain

 

Ils se sont cachés dans un grand champ de blé

Se laissant porter par les courants

Se sont racontés leur vies qui commençaient

Ils n'étaient encore que des enfants, des enfants

Qui s'étaient trouvés au bord du chemin

Sur l'autoroute des vacances

C'était sans doute un jour de chance

Qui cueillirent le ciel au creux de leurs mains

Comme on cueille la providence

Refusant de penser au lendemain

Un estate fa la storia di noi due

era un po come una favola

Ma l’estate va e porta via con se

anche meglio delle favole

L’autostrada è là ma ci dividera

La mia strada della vacanza

Segnera la tua lontananza

Un estate fa non c’eri che tu

Ma l’estate somiglia a un gioco

È stupenda ma dura poco….

 

E finisce qui la stoiria di noi due

Due ragazzi che si perdono,

Un estate fa la storia di noi due,

Era un po come te una favola.
