K'naan – Hoobaale Lyrics 10 years ago
In this world people are in competition with education, some of them reach for the sky and look down at the moon others are in deep sleep and unaware of it, indeed they are in danger. But I would shed blood for my country and, if necessary, die for it.

Mika Nakashima – Find The Way Lyrics 10 years ago
Why do you, with your small hands,
try to carry all these wounds on your back?
It isn’t for anyone’s sake, please don’t lose sight of that
Why am I, while hesitating, unable to escape?
What I hope is for the sun, the sun to light the way

Find the way though in these glowing cosmos
that our hands can’t quite reach
We depend on only our resounding love
Because at the end of the path we’ve traveled, we’ll find the light
You’ll find the way

You said, “I had a long dream
It was a very sad dream,
But what I saw wasn’t one bit clouded."
I said, “It’s okay to cry,
because I’ll stay by your side no matter what.”
What I wish is for a hand, a hand to reach up to me

Find the way, even without words
Even without wings to fly on
As long as we stand our ground in the wind
Even if we’re the first ones afflicted with this pain

Giving an answer surely isn’t everything
I’ll be patient, it’s all right, and so are you

Find the way even without these glowing cosmos
that our hands can’t quite reach
We depend on only our resounding love
Because at the end of the path we’ve traveled, we’ll find the light
Find the way even without wings to fly on
As long as we stand our ground against the wind
At the end of the path we’ve traveled, we finally saw the light
You’ll find the way

La Oreja De Van Gogh – Jueves Lyrics 11 years ago
If I were more beautiful, and a little smarter
If I were special, if I were in a magazine
I'd have the courage of crossing the train car
and ask who are you

You sit in front of me
And you don't even imagine
That it is for you that I wear my most beautiful skirt,
And when I see you yawning at the glass
My pupils are flooded

Suddenly you look at me
I look at you and you sigh
I close my eyes
you look away
I barely breath
I become small
and I shiver

And days go on like this, from Monday to Friday
Like the nightningales in Bequer's poem
From station to station, when we are in front of each other
The silence comes between us

Suddenly you look at me
I look at you and you sigh
I close my eyes
You look away
I barely breath
I become small
And I shiver

And then it happens,
My lips wake up
They pronounce your name stammering
I suppose you are thinking "What a stupid girl"
And I want to die

But the time stops
And you approach saying:
"I don't know you, and I've been missing you"
Every morning, I miss the bus and I take this train

And we are close to arriving,
My life has changed
This March 11 has been a special day
You take my hand, we go through a tunnel
And the lights go out

I caress your face with my hands
I become brave and kiss your lips
You say you love me and
I give to you the last puff of my heart

Mika – Karen Lyrics 11 years ago
Karen is twenty years old
Yes, but she has nothing but her age
And already time is slipping through her fingers

Leaning on the bar, on Martyr Street
At the 82
Karen makes up a list

She'd like a better life
Than those of her brothers and sisters
Who simply got in line

Karen says that Paris is big
That another life is waiting for her
She says she won't let herself be bought

So Karen bets on the red
Of her lips and she moves
She says she's worth more than that

Karen doesn't care
She's free
She's free

Karen says she'll be a star
She has sex with bastards
And says that someday people will envy her

Karen always drinks to your health
Sings other people's songs
Sings her dreams and ours, too
Sings at the Bistro 82

Karen is thirty years old
But she has nothing else to do
Not even kids
Not even dusting

She lives with her mother
Two streets away from the 82
One day, love came

He knocked on her door
She shouted for him to get out
Said she didn't open her door to strangers

Karen says that Paris is big
That another life is waiting for her
She says she won't let herself be bought

So Karen bets on the red
Of her lips and she moves
She says she's worth more than that

Karen doesn't care
She's free
She's free

Karen says she'll be a star
She has sex with bastards
And says that someday people will envy her

Karen always drinks to your health
Sings other people's songs
Sings her dreams and ours, too
Sings at the Bistro 82

Sings at the Bistro 82
Sings at the Bistro 82

Karen is fifty years old
No allowance, no money
She spent everything on a small white bed

She tells herself that she'll stop and have a drink
At the 82
But she'll die just before

On her old mouldy mattress
With those goddamned springs
Poking into her sides

Karen says that life is hard
She's heading straight for the wall
She says she can't be stopped

So Karen bets on black
Closes her eyes and runs off
Without understanding why
Karen runs away, she's free

She's free [x3]

Karen says she'll be a star
She has sex with bastards
And says that someday people will envy her

Karen always drinks to your health
Sings other people's songs
Sings her dreams and ours, too

Sings at the Bistro 82
