Gary Brooker - A salty dog

Tekst :

All hands on deck, we ve run afloat! I heard the captain cry
Explore the ship, replace the cook: let no one leave alive!
Across the straits, around the Horn: how far can sailors fly?
A twisted path, our tortured course, and no one left alive

We sailed for parts unknown to man, where ships come home to die
No lofty peak, nor fortress bold, could match our captain s eye
Upon the seventh seasick day we made our port of call
A sand so white, and sea so blue, no mortal place at all

We fired the gun, and burnt the mast, and rowed from ship to shore
The captain cried, we sailors wept: our tears were tears of joy
Now many moons and many Junes have passed since we made land
A salty dog, this seaman s log: your witness my own hand

    Le soleil a des rayons de pluie

    Le ciel est gris mais ta présence le rend bleu.
    Le soleil luit quand tu reviens, même s il pleut.
    Partout où se posent tes yeux naissent des fleurs
    Mais quand tu pars, hélas, tout change et, dans mon c?ur,
    Le soleil a des rayons de...

    Piękniejsza

    Ty jesteś piękniejsza….
    Podobasz mi się bardziej niż kiedyś…
    Chce z tobą być na zawsze….

    Każdy to chyba przeżył, chociaż raz

    Jadę wiec w rodzinne miejsca, ...

    Fallen for you

    The first time I saw you
    I thought you were barefood
    Your hair was pulled back, your jelly shoes, I was wondering if I should
    lie
    About my age

    Buddy Holly glasses on a Betty Page negative
    You re lookin so classic handpicked by some Hollywood executive
    just like Norma Jean
    I can t believe I ve fallen...

    Fool the world

    Right in front of me
    A couple makes what could melt the snow
    making fun of me
    a single look never cut me so

    And I know
    to save the conversation
    I know
    a deeper contemplation
    is all I need to make believe
    everyone would love me if I could fool the world

    Walk away from me
    I see the change...

    Pourquoi

    J parle pour les reufs qui béton
    Une fois qu ils sortiront
    C est soit ils s calmeront
    Ou bien ils récidiveront
    Car c est bien beau d parler
    Dire aux jeunes d arrêter les conneries
    S mettre à bosser, mais c est pas...
