1150. La donna è mobile - Giuseppe Verdi



La donna è mobile
Qual piuma al vento,
Muta d'accento — e di pensier.
Sempre un amabile,
Leggiadro viso,
In pianto o in riso, — è menzognero.
È sempre misero
Chi a lei s'affida,
Chi le confida — mal cauto il cuore!
Pur mai non sentesi
Felice appieno
Chi su quel seno — non liba amore!
La donna è mobile
Qual piuma al vento,
Muta d'accento — e di pensier,
E di pensier,
E di pensier!


Woman is fickle
Like a feather in the wind,
She changes her voice — and her mind.
Always sweet,
Pretty face,
In tears or in laughter, — she is always lying.
Always miserable
Is he who trusts her,
He who confides in her — his unwary heart!
Yet one never feels
Fully happy
Who on that bosom — does not drink love!
Woman is fickle
Like a feather in the wind,
She changes her voice — and her mind,
And her mind,
And her mind!

1149. Toreador - Georges Bizet




Votre toast, je peux vous le rendre,
Señors, señors car avec les soldats
oui, les toréros, peuvent s'entendre;
Pour plaisirs, pour plaisirs,
ils ont les combats !

Le cirque est plein, c'est jour de fête !
Le cirque est plein du haut en bas;
Les spectateurs, perdant la tête,
Les spectateurs s'interpellent
À grand fracas !

Apostrophes, cris et tapage
Poussés jusques à la fureur !
Car c'est la fête du courage !
C'est la fête des gens de cœur !
Allons ! en garde !
Allons ! allons ! Ah !

(Refrain ×2)
|: Toréador, en garde ! Toréador !
Toréador !
Et songe bien, oui,
songe en combattant
Qu'un œil noir te regarde,
Et que l'amour t'attend,
Toréador, l'amour, l'amour t'attend ! :|

Tout d'un coup, on fait silence,
On fait silence… ah ! que se passe-t-il ?
Plus de cris, c'est l'instant !
Plus de cris, c'est l'instant !

Le taureau s'élance
en bondissant hors du toril !
Il s'élance ! Il entre, il frappe !…
un cheval roule,
entraînant un picador,
"Ah ! Bravo ! Toro !" hurle la foule,
le taureau va... il vient...
il vient et frappe encore !

En secouant ses banderilles,
plein de fureur, il court !
Le cirque est plein de sang !
On se sauve… on franchit les grilles !
C'est ton tour maintenant !
Allons ! en garde ! allons ! allons ! Ah !

(Refrain ×2)
|:Toréador, en garde ! Toréador !
Toréador !
Et songe bien, oui, songe en combattant
Qu'un œil noir te regarde,
Et que l'amour t'attend,
Toréador, l'amour, l'amour t'attend ! :|

L'amour ! L'amour ! L'amour !
Toréador, Toréador, Toreador !


***********


Your toast, I can return it to you,
Señores, Señores, because with soldiers
yes, toreros can get along;
For the pleasures, for the pleasure
they fight!

The circus is full, it is a celebrating day!
The circus is full from top to ground;
The crowd goes mad,
the crowd is arguing
with great deal!

Apostrophes, shouts and noises
Push to the breaking point!
Because it is the celebration of courage!
It is the celebration of the braves of heart!
Let's go! On guard! Let's go!
Let's go! Let's go! Ah!

(Chorus ×2)
|:Toreador, on guard! Toreador!
Toreador!
And contemplate well, yes contemplate
as you fight
that a dark eye is watching you,
and that love is waiting for you,
Toreador, love, love is waiting for you! :|

All at once, we are silent,
we are silent,... Oh, what is happening?
No more shouts, this is it!
No more shouts, this is it!

The bull is rushing
while jumping out of its fence!
He is rushing in! He's entering, hitting!
A horse is falling,
Dragging down a picador.
"Ah! Bravo! Toro!" the crowd is calling,
The bull goes on... he comes...
he comes, hitting once more!

While shaking his banderillas ,
full of rage, he runs!...
the circus is full of blood !
We flee... we pass the gates!
It's your turn now!
Let's go! On guard! Let's go! Let's go! Ah!

(Chorus ×2)
|: Toreador, on guard! Toreador!
Toreador!
And think well , yes think as you are fighting
that a dark eye is watching you,
and that love is waiting for you,
Toreador, love, love is waiting for you! :|

Love! Love! Love!
Toreador, Toreador, Toreador!

1148. Habanera - Georges Bizet




[Carmen]
L’amour est un oiseau rebelle
Que nul ne peut apprivoiser,
Et c’est bien in vain qu’on l’appelle
S’il lui convient de refuser.

Rien n’y fait, menace ou prière.
L’un parle bien, l’autre se tait.
Et c’est l’autre que je préfère.
Il n’a rien dit mais il me plait.
[Echoes Choeur]

L’amour! L’amour! L’amour! L’amour!

L’amour est enfant de Bohême,
Il n’a jamais jamais connu de loi.
Si tu ne m’aimes pas, je t’aime;
Si je t’aime, prends garde à toi! (Prends garde à toi!)
[Echoes Choeur]

Si tu ne m’aimes pas, si tu ne m’aimes pas, je t’aime, (Prends garde à toi!)
Mais si je t’aime, si je t’aime, prends garde à toi!

L’oiseau que tu croyais surprendere
Battit d’aile et s’envola.
L’amour est loin, tu peux l’attendre,
Tu ne l’attends pas, il est là!

Tout atour de toi, vite vite,
Il vient, s’en va, puis il revient.
Tu crois le tenir, il t’evite;
Tu crois l’eviter, il te tient.
[Echoes Choeur]

L’amour! L’amour! L’amour! L’amour!

L’amour est enfant de Bohême,
Il n’a jamais jamais connu de loi.
Si tu ne m’aimes pas, je t’aime;
Si je t’aime, prends garde à toi! (Prends garde à toi!)

Si tu ne m’aimes pas, si tu ne m’aimes pas, je t’aime, (Prends garde à toi!)
Mais si je t’aime, si je t’aime, prends garde à toi!


****************

[Carmen]
Love is a rebellious bird
That nobody can tame,
And you can call him, but in vain,
Because it suits him not to come.

Nothing helps, neither threat nor prayer.
One man talks well, the other is silent;
but it's the other that I prefer.
He says nothing, but he pleases me.
[Chorus Echoes]

Oh, love! Love! Love! Love!

Love is a gypsy's child,
It has never known the law.
If you love me not, then I love you;
If I love you, you'd best beware! (You'd best beware!)
[Chorus Echoes]

If you love me not, if you love me not, then I love you; (You'd best beware!)
But if I love you, if I love you, you'd best beware!

The bird you hoped to catch
Beat its wings and flew away.
Love stays away, you wait and wait,
When least expected, there it is!

All around you, quickly quickly,
It comes and goes, and then returns.
You think you hold it, it avoids you;
You think to avoid it, it holds you.
[Chorus Echoes]

Oh, love! Love! Love! Love!

Love is a gypsy's child,
It has never known the law.
If you love me not, then I love you;
If I love you, you'd best beware! (You'd best beware!)

If you love me not, if you love me not, then I love you; (You'd best beware!)
but if I love you, if I love you, you'd best beware!

1146. Satellite - Aimee Mann



Let's assume you were right
and play the game of charm and strange
and satellite
and when we've all had our fun
deflate the stars
and put away the sun
and so we can call it a day

Cause I'll never prove that my motives were pure
so let's remove any question of cure
cause even though you've made it pretty obscure
baby, it's clear, from here--
you're losing your atmosphere
from here, you're losing it

So let's assume it was true
cause baby can't lift up a hand to swear to you
and what's the use of defense?
the hangers-on are too far gone for evidence
and that one was lost from the first

Cause I'll never prove that my motives were pure
so let's remove any question of cure
cause even though you've made it pretty obscure
baby, it's clear, from here--
you're losing your atmosphere
from here, you're losing it

So have it your way
whatever makes the best resume
whatever you can throw in
wash, rinse and spin til it's
spun away--okay
but I won't be sticking around

Cause I'll never prove that my motives were pure
so let's remove any question of cure
cause even though you've made it pretty obscure
baby, it's clear, from here--
you're losing your atmosphere
from here, you're losing it

1145. Signs of life - Arcade Fire



Those cool kids
Stuck in the past
Apartments of cigarette ash
Wait outside until it begins
Won't be the first ones in
Spend your life waiting in line
You find it hard to define
But you do it every time
Then you do it again

[Chorus]
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again

[Verse 2]
First kiss tastes like cigarettes
Dead man walking take your bets
Once again you lost your friends
Around and around again
Those cool kids
Stuck in the past
Apartments of cigarette ash
"Where are we going?"
Who did you ask?
Those cool kids
Stuck in the past
In a world of cigarette ash
"Where are we going?"
Who did you ask?
Who did you ask?

[Chorus]
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again

[Verse 3]
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Friday, Saturday, sometimes Sunday
Love is hard, sex is easy
God in Heaven, could you please me?
You think you invented life
You find it hard to define
But you do it every time
Then you do it again

[Chorus]
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
Still looking for signs of life (Looking for signs of life)
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again

Those cool kids
Stuck in the past
In a world of cigarette ash
"Where are we going?"
Who did you ask?
Who did you ask?

[Chorus]
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again

[Bridge]
(Still looking)
Looking for signs of life
(Signs of life)
Still looking for signs of life
(Signs of life)

[Chorus]
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again

1144. Wicked ways - Garbage



I tried hard to mend my wicked ways
Acted like a lunatic for years
Lord knows I try to be good
I'd keep my promises if only I could
You count your blessings that I can't rely on you

[Chorus]
And I tried [Repeat: x4]

Clutch your pictures of the Pope
Pray to God for love and hope
Bring the Virgin home for luck
Bolt the door down, keep it shut

I've done things I never thought I'd do
Sure it helps to lose myself in you
A little time and I'll be all right
C'mon sugar let's go out tonight
Forgive your trespasses
And all that we've been through

[Chorus: x2]

Clutch your pictures of the Pope
Pray to God for love and hope
Bring the Virgin home for luck
Bolt the door down, keep it shut

That sinking feeling
When you are leaving
All I believed in
Walks out my door

I tried hard to mend my wicked ways
The damage's done, there's nothing left to save

[Chorus]

And I tried [Repeat: x3]

Clutch your pictures of the Pope
(just like I told you)
Pray to God for love and hope
(just like I warned you)
Bring the Virgin home for luck
(just like I told you)
Bolt the door down, keep it shut
(just like I warned you).

1143. Everlong - Foo Fighters



Hello
I've waited here for you
Everlong

Tonight I throw myself in two
Out of the red
Out of her head she sang

Come down and waste away with me
Down with me
Slow, how you wanted it to be
I'm over my head
Out of her head she sang

And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang

Breathe out
So I can breathe you in
Hold you in
And now
I know you've always been
Out of your head
Out of my head I sang

And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang

And I wonder
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
