To my dear Sophia!!!

Girl from Ipanema
(Cher)

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
Each one she passes goes, ah

When she walks it's like a samba
That sways so sweet and swings so gently
That when she passes
Each one she passes goes, ah

Ooh but he watches so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her
Yes he would give his heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks ahead not at he

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
She smiles but she doesn't see

Oh, but he watches so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks ahead not at he

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
She smiles but she doesn't see

She just doesn't see
She just doesn't see
She just doesn't see

to my dear friends (from tc)
this is for you...

there comes a time when we heed a certain call
when the world must come together as one there are people dying
oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life the greatest gift of all

we can't go on pretending day by day that someone, somehow will soon make a change
we're all a part of god's great big family
and the truth
you know love is all we need


we are the world, we are the children
we are the ones who make a brighter day
so let's start giving
there's a choice we're making we're saving our own lives
it's true we'll make a better day just you and me

well, send'em you your heart so they know that someone cares and their lives will be stronger and free
as god has shown us by turning stone to bread
and so we all must lend a helping hand

we are the world, we are the children
we are the ones who make a brighter day so let's start giving
there's a choice we're making we're saving our own lives
it's true we'll make a better day just you and me

when you're down and out there seems no hope at all
but if you just believe there's no way we can fall well, well, well, let's realize that a change can only come
when we
stand together as one

This is to my dear Daydreamer!

Bad Boys Blue
I’m Your Believer


I had a dream and saw your face
That night you took me to a place
A million voices, they demand
To sacrifice my loving heart.

So hear me cryin'.
And give me mercy, here I am.
I'm your beliver(come back to me)
Can't you hear my prayer till the break of day?
I'm your believer(come back to me)
And the bells are ringing cause you went away
Come back to me, come back to me.

They laughed at me, called me a fool.
Fools gotta learn that love is cruel.
I lit a candle, and I found my broken heart down on the ground.

So hear me cryin'
And give me mercy, here I am.
I'm your beliver(come back to me)
Can't you hear my prayer till the break of day?
I'm your believer(come back to me)
And the bells are ringing cause you went away
Come back to me, come back to me.

A million voices.
They demand to sacrifice my loving heart for you.

So hear me cryin'
And give me mercy, here I am.
I'm your beliver(come back to me)
Can't you hear my prayer till the break of day?
I'm your believer(come back to me)
And the bells are ringing cause you went away.
I'm your believer(dream)
I'm your believer(dream)
Come back to me.
Come back to me.


Come Back and Stay


Come back and stay.
Don't keep me waiting.
Baby. Come back and stay.
Don't say "goodbye".
Don't let my love die.
Come back and stay and try again.
Don't walk away for
I'm still your man.

Where are you now? Where did you go?
Come back and stay.
Don't keep me waiting. I miss you so.
Walk in the rain.
Thinking about the game I play.
I am to blame.
I lost my lovin' yesterday.

(Where two broken hearts gone to?
How can broken hearts find their way back home?
When nobody cares about you, and you're feeling blue.)

(Since I've been gone. I've missed you.
I missed your touch. Oh, Baby.)

This is to my dear Sibel and Duda. Hope you enjoy it.

Those were the days, my friend/Дорогой длинною
translation Gene Raskin

Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
And dreamed of all the great things we would do

Those were the days my friend
We thought theyd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we chose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way

Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance Id see you in the tavern
Wed smile at one another and wed say

Those were the days...

Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me?

Those were the days...

Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same


Ехали на тройке с бубенцами,
А вдали мелькали огоньки.
Мне б сейчас, соколики, за Вами,
Душу бы развеять от тоски.

Дорогой длинною,
да ночью лунною,
Да с песней той, что вдаль летит звеня,
И с той старинною с той семиструнною,
Что по ночам так мучала меня...

Так живя без радости, без муки,
Помню я ушедшие года,
И твои серебряные руки
В тройке, улетевшей навсегда...

Дорогой длинною,
да ночью лунною,
Да с песней той, что вдаль летит звеня,
И с той старинною с той семиструнною,
Что по ночам так мучала меня...

Дни бегут, печали умножая,
Мне так трудно прошлое забыть.
Как-нибудь однажды, дорогая,
Вы меня свезете хоронить.

Дорогой длинною,
да ночью лунною,
Да с песней той, что вдаль летит звеня,
И с той старинною с той семиструнною,
Что по ночам так мучала меня...

I met you
lyrics by Fedor Tyutchev, translation by F.Jude


I met you and the past
came back to life in my dead heart.
Remembering a golden time,
my heart became so warm.

Just as in late autumn
there are days, the transient hour,
when suddenly spring wafts again
and something stirs within us,

so, winnowed within by the breath
of fullness my soul knew in those years,
with a rapture I thought I'd forgotten,
I stare into your dear face.

As if we'd been apart for ages
I stare at you and think I'm dreaming,
and suddenly sounds unsilenced in me
could be heard within me, but louder!

That was more than reminiscence:
my life began to talk once more,
as did in you that very same charm,
as did in my soul that very same love!




Я встретил вас - и все былое
В отжившем сердце ожило;
Я вспомнил время, время золотое -
И сердцу стало так тепло...

Как поздней осени порою
Бывают дни, бывает час,
Когда повеет вдруг весною,
И что-то встрепенется в нас, -

Как после вековой разлуки,
Гляжу на вас, как бы во сне, -
И вот - слышнее стали звуки,
Не умолкавшие во мне...

Тут не одно воспоминанье,
Тут жизнь заговорила вновь, -
И то же в вас очарованье,
И та ж в душе моей любовь

Из репертуара Петра Лещенко

I think you are right Sophie but the problem is I am not smart as you and can't post the picture, even I have it here.
You are welcome sestrichka, Angel moy.
