Doin' Just Fine

Quand je me sens triste
quand j’ai un coup de blues,
Je pense à tout ce que
je pourrais faire si je le voulais.
Je prends une inspiration
et expire lentement
Je regarde vers l’avant
Et jette mon dévolu sur ce
que je peux contrôler
La vie est difficile et tellement injuste
c’est facile de se sentir triste
Quand je me force à penser
Sous un jour positif,
je sais que tout ira bien!
Alors, fais un grand sourire
Et chante un peu
et avec le temps, tu verras bien
Que tout va pour le mieux.
When I’m feeling low
When I’m feeling blue
I just think of all of the things
that I could do if I wanted to
I take a deep breath
And let it out slow
And I set my sights ahead
On the things I can control
Life is tough and so unfair
It’s easy to feel let down
When we use our minds to think
In a positive light, I know we’ll be alright.
So put on a smile
And sing for a while
And with time, we may realize
That we’ve been doing just fine.

L'automne

After all the summer days
Fade into fall
I’m still the one
in love
I feel the way, I did that day
Looking to you
But now you don’t
Look the same
You said goodbye
Like the moon setting down
I watched the tide go out.
My heart followed you, drifting away
But summer must fade, and fall comes again
Think of me, if you may,
as autumn nights chase away
our warm, floating, summer days.
Un à un, les jours d’été
s'estompent en automne
Je suis encore amoureuse.
Je me sens comme la première fois
que je t’ai vu, mais aujourd’hui tu as changé.
Tu m’as dit au revoir
comme la lune qui se couche,
et j’ai vu la mer se retirer.
Tu t’es éloigné et mon cœur t’a suivi,
mais l'été doit s’effacer et l’hiver revenir.
Quand l’automne gentiment
chasse la magie de l’été,
Pense à moi s’il te plaît.

Bring It Home

Go out at night
Go find the light
Up all the flights
And touch the sky
And After all
bring it home.
In old Paris
If you’re free
You must try the Brie
Chez virginie
After all
bring it home.
There are plenty of people,
lots of world to see!
If you ever feel lonely,
Take a beat, and think of me
Then hit the streets,
Try 38 Riv
And tap your feet
In Le Marais
But after all,
bring it home.
Go out at night
Go find the light
Up all the flights
And touch the sky
And After all.
bring it home.
In old Paris,
Look and see
the lights on the Seine
à Pont Marie
Then after all,
bring it home.
There are plenty of people,
lots of world to see!
If you ever feel lonely,
Take a beat, and think of me.
And in the end
I’ll be your friend
And home is here
Right next to me
So after all
Bring it home

Printemps

Voici donc les longs jours, lumière, amour, délire!
Voici le printemps! mars, avril au doux sourire,
Mai fleuri, juin brûlant, tous les beaux mois amis!
Les peupliers, au bord des fleuves endormis,
Se courbent mollement comme de grandes palmes;
L’oiseau palpite au fond des bois tièdes et calmes;
Il semble que tout rit, et que les arbres verts
Sont joyeux d’être ensemble et se disent des vers.
Le jour naît couronné d’une aube fraîche et tendre;
Le soir est plein d’amour; la nuit, on croit entendre,
A travers l’ombre immense et sous le ciel béni,
Quelque chose d’heureux chanter dans l’infini.
English Translation of Printemps, by Hélène Simon
Here come the long days, light, love, delirium!
Here comes Spring! March, April with its sweet smile,
Blooming May, Burning June, all these beautiful friendly months!
The poplars, by the sleepy rivers, bend softly like large palms;
The bird flutters deep in the warm and calm forests;
It seems that everything laughs, and that the green trees
Are happy to be together and tell each other lines of poetry.
The day is born crowned by a fresh and tender dawn;
The evening is filled with love; at night, we think we hear,
Across the vast shadow, and under the blessed sky,
Something happy singing to infinity.

As Long as I'm with You

I like the Spring, I love the fall, I dig the summer
And in the winter, fresh blankets of snow.
But in the end, no matter the season,
I love my life as long as I’m with You
Gazing out the window, I think about the future.
Good times, bad times, challenge and delight.
The joy that I feel, with whatever may come,
Is from the love we share.
It’s easy to worry about the unknown,
not knowing what life may throw at us next.
One day at a time, you always remind me.
Just breathe deep, and take that next step.
You have my heart, and carry it with you.
I know I’m safe, when I’m beside you.
Your sweet melodies that color everyday.
I love my life as long as I’m with You.
