Patricia Kaas

Patricia Kaas (5.12.1966) is a French chanson pop jazz blues singer and lyricist. She is one of the most popular singers from France. Her deep and strong voice is unique. She published her first song in 1985 when she was only 19 years old. Her first hit was "Mademoiselle chante le blues" ("Miss sings the blues") and it was made by lyricist Didier Barbelivien.

Kaas has also played in a film called "And now... Ladies and Gentlemen" with Jeremy Irons in 2002. In 2009 Kaas performed and participated in the Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow with song "Et s'il fallait le faire" ("And if it would have done"). Though she reached the eight place and she was praised, I myself regared her song not as brilliant and powerfull as her songs normally are.
Since 1992 Kaas has been irregularly part of Les Enfoirés the great goup of francophonic singers.

D'ALLEMAGNE
(D. Barbelivien /F. Bernheim & D. Barbelivien)


D'Allemagne
Où j'écoute la
Pluie en vacances
D'Allemagne
Où j'entends le rock en silence
D'Allemagne
Où j'ai des souvenirs d'en face
Où j'ai des souvenirs d'enfance
Leninplatz et anatole France

D'Allemagne
L'histoire passée est une injure
D'Allemagne
L'avenir est une aventure
D'Allemagne
Je connais les sens interdits
Je sais où dorment les fusils
Je sais où s'arrête l'indulgence

*Auf wiedersehn Lili Marlène
Reparlez-moi des roses de Göttingen
Qui m'accompagnent
Dans l'autre allemagne
À l'heure où colombes
Et vautours s'éloignent
De quel côté du mur,
La frontière vous rassure*

D'Allemagne
J'ai des histoires d'amour sincère
Je plane sur des musiques d'appolinaire
D'Allemagne
Le romantisme est plus violents
Des violons jouent toujours plus lents
Des valses viennoises ordinaires

*Auf wiedersehen... *

Ich habe eine kleine Wildblume
Eine Flamme die zwischen den Volken blüht

D'Allemagne
J'ai une petite fleur dans le coeur
Qui est comme l'idée du bonheur
Qui va grandir comme un arbre

*Auf wiedersehen... *

Auf wiedersehn Lili Marlène
Reparlez-moi des roses de Göttingen

FROM GERMANY

In Germany

Where I listen to the rain on vacation

In Germany

Where I hear the rock in silence

In Germany

Where I have souvenirs that face me

Where I have souvenirs of childhood

Leninplatz and Anatole France

Germany

Passed history is an insult

Germany

The future is an adventure

Germany

I know the prohibited opinions

I know where the weapons do sleep

I know where the indulgence stops

*(Goodbye) Lili Marlène

Tell me again

About the roses of Göttingen

Which accompany me

To the other Germany

When doves and

Vultures draw away

Which side of the wall

The frontier makes you calm?*

From Germany

I have stories about sincere love

I float over the musics of Apollinaire

In Germany

The romanticim is more violent

The violins play

Every day slowlier

The ordinary Viennese waltz

*(Goodbye) Lili... *

(I have no wild flowers

A flame that blooms between the clouds)

Germany

I have a little flower in heart

That is like an idea of goodnes

That will grow like a tree

*(Goodbye) Lili... *

(Goodbye) Lili Marlène

Tell me again

About the roses of Göttingen

LA HISTORIA DE JUAN
(Juanes)

Esta es la historia de Juan

El niño que nadie amó
Que por las calles creció

Buscando el amor bajo el sol
Su madre lo abandonó
Su padre lo maltrató
Su casa fue un callejón
Su cama un cartón su amigo Dios
Juan preguntó por amor
Y el mundo se lo negó
Juan preguntó por honor
Y el mundo le dió deshonor
Juan preguntó por perdón
Y el mundo lo lastimó
Juan preguntó y preguntó

Y el mundo jamás lo escuchó

El sólo quizo jugar

El sólo quizo soñar

El sólo quizo amar
Pero el mundo lo olvidó
El sólo quizo volar

El sólo quizo cantar

El sólo quizo amar
Pero el mundo lo olvidó

Tan fuerte fue su dolor

Que un día se lo llevó
Tan fuerte fue su dolor

Que su corazón se apagó
Tan fuerte fue su temor

Que un día solo lloró
Tan fuerte fue su temor

Que un día su luz se apagó

El sólo quizo jugar

El sólo quizo soñar

El sólo quizo amar

Pero el mundo lo olvidó

El sólo quizo volar

El sólo quizo cantar

El sólo quizo amar

Pero el mundo lo olvidó

THE STORY OF JUAN

This is the story of Juan

The boy who was loved by no-one

He grew up on the streets

Looking for love under the sun

He was abandoned by his mother

He was abused by his father

His home was a lane

His bed was a box, his friend God

Juan asked for love

And the world rejected him

Juan asked for honor

And the world gave him dishonor

Juan asked for forgiveness

And the world hurt him

Juan asked and asked

And the world never listened to him

He just wanted to play

He just wanted to dream

He just wanted to love

But the world forgot him

He just wanted to fly

He just wanted to sing

He just wanted to love

But the world forgot him

So strong was his pain

That one day it took him

So strong was his pain

That his heart stopped

So strong was his fear

That one day he just cried

So strong was his fear

That one day his light turned off

He just wanted to play

He just wanted to dream

He just wanted to love

But the world forgot him

He just wanted to fly

He just wanted to sing

He just wanted to love

But the world forgot him

Björk

Björk Guðmundsdóttir (21.11.1965) is a singer from Iceland. She is mostly known for her solo career but she has been part of many bands during her teenage life and in 2000 she played the role of Selma in the movie "Dancer in the Dark" where she also sang and danced for it was a musical drama film. In the film was also Cahterine Deneuve (Les parapluies of Cherbourg, 8 Femmes). Björks best known album is Debut (1993), the first of her solo albums.

After all Björk is a singer who has her very own style to dress, to make music videos and to sing. Her musical style is something between electronic, classic, jazz, ambient, alternative, folk, IDM and trip hop and the scale of her sopranolike voice is vide. Her crazy and wild costumes are her brand but on the other side she is a rough and plain northern girl (like in the picture on the top). She has got 13 Grammy - awards and named for "the best actress in 2000" in Cannes.

Her latest album "Volta" was published in 2007.

HUMAN BEHAVIOUR
If you ever get close to a human
And human behaviour
Be ready, be ready to get confused
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
To human behaviour
But yet so, yet so irresistible
And there's no map and a compass wouldn't help at all
They're terribly moody
And human behaviour
Then all of a sudden turn happy
But, oh, to get involved in the exchange of human emotions
Is ever so, ever so satisfying
Oh oh, and there's no map
Human behaviour, human
 
Human, human behaviour, human
Human, human behaviour, human
Human behaviour, human
 
And there's no map
And a compass
Wouldn't help at all
 
Human behaviour, human, human
Human behaviour, human,
Human behaviour, human,
Human behaviour
 
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
Human, human  
Human behaviour
Human
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
Human, human, human, human.

HEMINGWAY
(D. Barbelivien)

De l'Afrique
Il reste quelques soleils gris et sales
De l'Amérique
Un drapeau qui perd sa guerre des étoiles
D' la politique
Des idées qui ne brillent que par l'argent
De la musique
Quelques DJ's pour trois milliards de gens

**C' n'est pas "L'adieu aux armes"
C'est un monde qui disparaît
Les missiles n'ont pas le charme
Du vieux fusil d'Hemingway

Et "Pour qui sonne le glas"
Dans ce monde "anyway"
Chacun de nous finira
Comme le vieil Hemingway **

Du Grand Nord
Restent quelques chercheurs d'or faméliques
D'nos corps à corps
D' l'amour enrobé de matière plastique
Des conquistadors
Plantés devant leurs écrans numériques
Des cons qui s'adorent
J'en connais plus que de femmes érotiques

**C' n'est pas "L'adieu aux armes"... **

HEMINGWAY

From Africa

was left some gray and dirty suns

From America

A flag which will lose it's war of stars

From politics

The ideas which shine just through the money

From music

Some Djs for 3 miljard people

**It's not ”A Farewell to Arms”

It's a world that dissappears

The missiles do not have le charme

From the old arms of Hemingway

And ”For Whom the Bell Tolls”

In this world ”anyway”

Everyone of us meets the end

Like the old Hemingway**

From the great North

Was left some starved golddiggers

From body to body

Love coated with plastic

The conquistadors

Planted in front of countless screens

The fools who love

From them I know mostly erotic women

**It's not ”A Farewell to Arms”...** (2x)

EN ÄNGEL FALLER NER
(Ville Pusa)

Det finns så många saker jag vill säga dig
Saker som jag går och bär inom mig
Men hur ska jag någonsin nå dig och din värld

Jag klamrar mig fast och håller hårt, du glider ifrån
Du talar bara om dina drömmar du någon dag ska nå
Du ler och säger allt är bra, fast du gråter ändå

Säg mig vem är du, säg mig vem är jag,
Vilken roll spelar du nu?
Det är så svårt att hitta ut när man lever ett liv som du
Allting som jag gör, allting som vi gjort
Åh, jag orkar inte mer
En ängel faller ner och hon vill bara ha mer

Försöker springa, försöker att gå, men ändå
Vart du än vänder dig så finns det alltid någon som trycker på
Så när festen tagit slut, står du ensam kvar

Det finns så många saker jag vill säga dig....


AN ANGEL FALLS DOWN

There are so many things I want to say to you

Things I go and carry inside me

But how I'll never reach you or your world


I stick to and hold on tight, you slip away

You talk only about your dreams you someday can reach

You smile and say everything's okay, though you still cry


*Tell me who you are, tell me who I am

Who are you now trying to be?

It's hard to find out when you live a life you do

Everything you do, everything we've done

Oh, I can't stand anymore

An angel falls down and she just wants more*


Try to run, try to walk, but still

Wherever you turn to there's always someone to press

So when party's over, you stay standing alone


There are so many things I want to say to you

*Tell me who you are..*

STOP
Na prasen zid naslonim se
Z vso mocjo upiram se
Potrkam in upam, da sploh ne slisis me
A vrata odpres, kot da ti vseeno je
Zakaj se oba pretvarjava?
Z njegovim poljubom si ti podpisana


Daj zvezi mi roke, da se utopim
V tvojem narocju v lazeh izkrvavim
Vsaj reci mi stop, ko v oci gledam te
Vsaj nocoj

Daj zvezi mi roke, da se utopim
V tvojem narocju v lazeh izkrvavim
Vsaj reci mi stop, ko v oci gledam te
Vsaj nocoj brani me

Ze dolgo skrivas mi s poljubi med dlani
In tezkega srca dvomis v naju dva
Kot prah obrisi me
Pod prsti zrusi vse
Da ne spotaknem se ob upanje

Daj zvezi mi roke, da se utopim
V tvojem narocju v lazeh izkrvavim
Vsaj reci mi stop, ko v oci gledam te
Vsaj nocoj brani me, brani me

La la la …


STOP
I lean on a dusty wall
Resisting with all my strength
I knock and hope that you don't hear me
You open the door as if you don't care
Why do we both pretend?
You have the sign of his kiss on you

Come on; tie my hands so I can drown
In lies I bleed to death in your lap
At least say stop, when I'm looking into your eyes
At least tonight

Come on; tie my hands so I can drown
In lies I bleed to death in your lap
At least say stop, when I'm looking into your eyes
Defend me, at least tonight

For a long time you have hidden the kisses between your hands
And with a heavy heart, doubt us both
Wipe me away as if I was dust
Crush everything with your fingers
So I can't stumble towards hope

Come on; tie my hands so I can drown
In lies I bleed to death in your lap
At least say stop, when I'm looking into your eyes
Defend me, at least tonight, defend me


La la la …

SYVÄLLE SYDÄMEEN SATTUU

(Juha Tapaninen & Pekka Pohjola)

Äiti, en tahdo mennä kouluun
Äiti, saan aina olla yksin
Ei kukaan musta välitä
Saan aina yksin leikkiä
Äiti, miks toiset vaan kiusaa?

Mutsi hei, mä tahdon uuden videon
Tiiätsä mutsi, missä meidän faija on?
En lukea, en tahdo tavata, en sydäntäni avata
Mutsi hei, mä en mee enää kouluun

Usein on vaikeaa elämäänsä aloittaa
Niin pienillä siivillä lentää
Voi kuinka koskee
Kelle sen kertoisin
Syvälle sydämeen sattuu

Sattuu, pienet hartiat kun alas painuu
Koskee, paha lääkettä on siihen löytää
Kiusaajat saapuvat, näytös voi alkaa
Koskee, kun sivusta vain sitä katson

Yksin taas välitunnilla hän seisoo
Niin yksin, pois leikeistä toisten
Pikku zorrot, pikku prinsessat
Kohta aikuisiksi kasvavat
Ne kostaa, et sydäntä voi niiltä ostaa

Voi kuinka koskee
Kelle sen kertoisin
Syvälle sydämeen sattuu

Voi kuinka koskee
Toiset ei ymmärrä
Syvälle sydämeen sattuu

IT HURTS DEEP IN THE HEART
Mum, I don't want to go to school
Mum, I'm there always alone
No-one cares about me
I always have to play alone
Mum, why the others just tease?

Mother hey, I want a new video
Do you know mum, where my father is?
I don't want to read, don't want to spell,
don't want to open my heart
Mother hey, I'm not going to school anymore

Frequently it is hard to begin to live
To fly with so small wings

Oh, how it hurts
To who to tell this?
It hurts deep in the heart

It hurts, little shoulders sadly down
Aching - it's hard to find a medicine for it
Tempters arrive and the game can beginn
It hurts when I stand aside and watch it

A break and there he stands alone
So alone out off others games
Little Zorros, little princesses
Soon will grow up
They will revenge - you can't by their hearts

Oh, how it hurts
To who to tell this?
It hurts deep in the heart

Oh, how it hurts
The others won't understand this
It hurts deep in the heart

VANDRAREN

(Mats Wester/Py Bäckman)

Vandraren har ingenstans att gå,

När han kommit fram till slutet.

Månen färgar alla skuggor blå,

Han är ensam kvar där ute.

Långt där borta från en enslig gård,

Lyser värmen ut i natten.

Väcker hungern i hans frusna kropp,

Som har levt på luft och vatten.

*Det gör ont, men gå ändå,

Du kan alltid vända om.

Det gör ont, men gå ända,

Du är här och kom hit som en vandrare. *

Klockan ringer för en ensam själ,

Den har lånat röst av döden.

Vill den illa eller vill den väl,

När den räknar våra öden.

Sluta tänka det är svårt ändå,

Du får ta en dag i taget.

Vandraren har ingenstans att gå,

Om han går vid sista slaget.

*Det gör ont, men gå ändå... *

THE WANDERER

The wanderer has no where to go,

When he has come to the end

The moon colours all the shadows blue

He is alone out there

Far away from the lonely courtyard

The warmth shines to the night

It awakes hunger in the frosen body

That has lived in the air and water

*It hurts, but go anyway

You can always turn around

It hurts, but go anyway,

you are here and came here like a wanderer*

The bell rings for a lonely soul

It has lend the voice of the death

Want it bad or want it god

When it counts our destiny

Stop thinking ”it's hard anyway”

You can take one day at the time

The wanderer has nowhere to go

If he goes by the last sruggle

*It hurts, but go anyway.. *

1972

Kristian
kerran teki Jumalan
luokan kattoon nuuskallaan
se näköjään yrittää vieläkin viiksiä kasvattaa

Susannaa
taisin joskus rakastaa
mut se ei halunnut olla mun kaa
ajoi kaljuksi päänsä
naisen kanssa asustaa

Nummelin
poika etupulpetin
nuo samat rillit vieläkin
istuu nurkassa yksin ihan niin kuin ennenkin

Ihailin
silloin Roopea kadehdin
hänen elämänsä halusin
tanssilattialla sen housut putoo nilkkoihin

**meidän piti muuttaa maailma
meistä tuli muurareita
taksikuskeja, suutareita
yksinhuoltajaäitejä, autokauppiaita
meistä tuli lääkäreitä
virkamiehiä, vääpeleitä
ja tänään voidaan hetki olla kuninkaita**

Nurminen
pallon kosketus kultainen
olisi ammattilainen
jos ei ois kännipäissään pudonnut louhokseen

Kaunis Jasmin
se aikoi malliksi Pariisiin
hyvältä näyttää vieläkin
taas kertoo kuinka pääsi Miss Lohja -finaaliin

**Meidän piti muuttaa maailma...**

Kun lakit päähän vedettiin
kaikesta kaikki tiedettiin
mitä vanhemmiksi vartutaan
sitä tyhmemmiksi muututaan
enkä minä ainakaan
mistään tiedä paskaakaan
eilen kun kotiin palasin
avain ei sovi lukkoihin
ikkunasta vaatteitani lentää

**Meidän piti muuttaa maailma.. **

Vuorinen
ystävä takaa vuosien
ennen meni tunteja jutellen
"oli kiva nähdä", nyt muuta sanoa osaa en



1972


Kristian
Once made a god
On the classrooms roof with his snuff
It seems like he is still trying to grow moustache

I guess
I loved Susanna once
But she didn't want to be with me
Cut her head bald, and now lives with a woman

Nummelin
Boy of the front line
Those same glasses still
Sits alone in the corner, just like before

Admired
I was jealous to Roope back then
I wanted his life
Now his pants falling down on the dance floor

We were supposed to change the world

**We became bricklayers,
Taxi drivers, shoemakers
Single parent mothers, car sellers
We became doctors,
Officers, sergeant majors
And today we can be kings for a while **

Nurminen
The golden touch to ball
Would be a professional
If would not have fallen into excaviation while drunk

Beautiful Jasmin
Planned to be a model at Paris
Still looking good
Once again telling how she got into Miss Lohja finals

We were supposed to change the world

**We became bricklayers... **

As we put on the caps
We knew everything about everything
The older we get
The dumber we become
And at least I do not
Know shit about anything
Yesterday when I came home
The key isn't fitting the locks
My clothes are flying down from the window

We were supposed to change the world

**We became bricklayers..**

Vuorinen
A friend from years ago
Before hours passed as we talked
"It was nice to meet you"
Now there is nothing else I am able to say

LÀ-BAS with Florent Pagny
(Jean-Jacques Goldman)

Là bas
Tout est neuf et tout est sauvage
Libre continent sans grillage
Ici nos rêves sont étroits
C'est pour ça que j'irai là bas

Là bas
Faut du coeur et faut du courage
Mais tout est possible à mon âge
Si tu as la force et la foi
L'or est à portée de tes doigts
C'est pour ça que j'irai là bas

N'y va pas
Y a des tempêtes et des naufrages
Le feu, les diables et les mirages
Je te sais si fragile parfois
Reste au creux de moi

On a tant d'amour à faire
Tant de bonheur à venir
Je te veux mari et père
Mais toi tu rêves de partir

Ici tout est joué d'avance
Et l'on y peut rien changer
Tout dépend de ta naissance
Et moi je ne suis pas bien né

Là bas
Loin de nos vies, de nos villages
J'oublierai ta voix, ton visage
J'ai beau te serrer dans mes bras
Tu m'échappes déjà là bas
J'aurai ma chance et j'aurai mes droits

N'y va pas
Et la fierté qu'ici je n'ai pas
Là bas
Tout ce que tu mérites est à toi
N'y va pas
Ici les autres imposent leurs lois
Là bas Je te perdrai peut-être là bas
N'y va pas je me perds si je reste là
Là bas
La vie ne m'a pas laissé le choix
N'y va pas
Toi et moi ce sera là bas ou pas
Là bas
Tout est neuf et tout est sauvage
N'y va pas
Libre continent sans grillage
Là bas Beau comme on imagine pas
N'y va pas
Ici nos rêves sont étroits
Là bas C'est pour ça que j'irai là bas
N'y va pas
On ne m'a pas laissé le choix
Là bas Je me perds si je reste là
N'y va pas
C'est pour ça que j'irai là bas



THERE

There

Everything's new and wild

A free continent without grating

Here our dreams are narrow

That's why I'll go there

There

Heart and courage are missing

But everything is possibble at my age

If you got the force and the belief

You have brought gold in your fingers

That's why I'll go there

Don't go there

There are storms and shipwrecks

The fire, the devil and the mirage

I know you are so fragile sometimes

Stay in my arms

We have so much to love

All the good is coming

I want you to be a husbend and a father

And you, you dream of leaving

Here everything is directed in advance

And there is nothing to change them

Everything depends on your birth

And my origin is not good

There

Away from our lives, our villages

I'll forget your voice, your face

In vain I hold you thight in my arms

You escape already, there

I'll have a chance, I'll have my rights

Don't go there

And the pride here I don't have it

There All that you deserve is yours

Don't go there

Here the others force on their laws

There

I'll would loose you there maybe

Don't go there

But I loose myself if I stay there

There

Life doesn't give me the choise

Don't go there

You and me, that would be there or not

There

Everything is new and wild

Don't go there

A free continent without laws

There

Beautiful like we never imagined

Don't go there

Here our dreams are narrow

There

That's why I'll go there

Don't go there

I have no choise left

There

I loose myself if I stay there

Don't go there

That's why I'll go there

BELIEVE IN ANGELS

Where the silence falls
There the river runs deep
Where the shadow ends
So begins the dream
Where the hunger leads me
It’s hard to believe
I’ll be lost to you

It’s the blood that ties
It’s the hurt that heals
It’s the face you hide*
Hides the pain you feel
So hold me up now
Yeah, I’m afraid to breathe
An’ I’m lost to you
Yeah, I’m lost to you

I believe in a heaven
I believe in the night
I believe there’s a path to follow
I believe in the light
Part of you is the devil
Part of you is the light
I’m gonna fly
Through the city of angels

Hold me under
Let the river wash away my sins
Let me drown and you
Let the water and the love rush you
You can hear me whisper
When you’re listenin’
And I’m lost to you
Yeah, lost to you

*I believe ...*

It’s the blood that ties
It’s the hurt that heals
It’s the face you hide
Hides the pain you feel
So hold me up now
I long to believe
And I’m lost to you
Yeah, lost to you

*I believe …* (2x)

Oh - through the city of angels....
