Pathways

(A. Pannetier / J. Pannetier)

Sand dunes, and the glitter of stars,

Night air dancing, my dreams travel far,

Beauty in hope, I wander without fear,

I’ll dance with you, in a minute or a year.

 

Spices I feel, the heat of the sun,

Daylight escaping the glimpse of a song,

Cedar wood scents of memories far gone,

I’ll sing for you and the future to come.

 

Follow the footsteps, left in my heart,

Hear as they call, feeling so calm,

Pass through the storm, knowing the stars,

Will always be there, chasing the sun.

 

At times we step back,

Stroll with those passed away,

At times we step back,

Without losing our way,

A path worth the walk, but not the stay (x2)

 

Roads are like branches, trimmed and reshaped,

When time reaches out, I’ll walk what it takes

I sing my hope, to the land and stars,

I sing for I know you are never far

Till my heart wakes up

(A. Pannetier)

‘Till my heart wakes up…

Tears, rolling down

Tears I vowed to keep

Tears, rolling down

I’m in too deep

 

Someday love might clear my mind, I’ll learn to breathe again                        

‘Till my heart wakes up…

 

Someday love might clear my mind,

I’ll learn to breathe again                                  

Mon còr, un jorn desrevilhat (My heart, woken up one day)

tan leuger, s’en anarà (So light, it could fly away)

 

Mies uelhs barrats (My closed eyes)

Per pus jamai veire (To never see again)

Mon còr sarrat (My heart so tight)

De paur de creire (For fear of believing)

Tales I heard

Made me believe  

Tales I heard          

Left me to grieve  

 

Hand me another glass

Half full of promises

Hand me another glass

Of empty promises

 

Mies uelhs barrats (My closed eyes)

Per pus jamai veire (To never see again)

Mon còr sarrat (My heart so tight)

De paur de creire (For fear of believing)

 

‘Till my heart wakes up…

‘Till then, I think I’ll sleep

‘Till my heart wakes up…

I don't really know

(A. Pannetier)

I made up my mind

Got to follow the flow

Did I step out of line?

I don’t really know

I don’t really know…

I made up my mind

Had to leave you and go

Was my heart so unkind?

I don’t really know

I don’t really know…

If you’ll

Hear my prayer

Hear my song

Hear my words

And everything

I could never say

Ma preguiera

Ma cançon

Meis paraulas

E tot ço qu’ai jamai poscut dire

I made up my mind

You say I did this alone

How could we be fine?

I don’t really know

I don’t really know…

Will you

Hear my prayer

Hear my song

Hear my words

And everything

I could never say

Ma preguiera

Ma cançon

Meis paraulas

E tot ço qu’ai jamai poscut dire

Why not?

(J. Pannetier / A. Pannetier)

 

I can smell the coffee as I lie in bed, 

Hoping it can clear, the fog from my head, 

The bread in the toaster as I search for my face, 

I’m going to milk this day for all its beauty and grace, why not?

 

Walking in the street, I smile at strangers,

Humming to myself, people wonder, 

Why am I so chipper and why do I groove? 

Why do I seem to dance whenever I move? Why not?  

 

Sun always shines in my soul,

Footprints of moon in my heart,

But don’t ever think I’m a fool, 

For daring to stick to my path,

 

Take my hand and follow me, why not ?

 

Happiness is a choice so I choose to groove, 

Let go of the fear and the need to prove, 

Anything to anyone at any point in time, 

Living my life I’m loving to live it ain’t no crime! 

 

Give me a keyboard and I’ll hug a tree, 

Don’t need a wand for the magic to be, 

I get high off basslines and sweet melodies, 

To elevate my mood I just change key, why not ?

 

Pick up a drink and raise a toast

Tap your feet ‘till you can’t feel your toes ;

The moon ain’t got nowhere to go

Get up and move with the flow, why not ?

In your eyes

(A. Pannetier)

 

In your eyes

I see the dreams that never fade away everyday

In your eyes

I see your smile that twinkles every day

 

Call on your heart

To know when to breathe

Call on your heart

And let your mind be free

 

In your eyes

I see your smile grow brighter day by day

In your eyes

I see your wisdom shine on night and day

 

Call on your heart

To know when to breathe

Call on your heart

And let your mind be free

 

Did I? (feat. Tatou / Moussu T)

(A. Pannetier)

Aviau lei pès dins l’aiga, un cocktail en man

T’ai vist passar ‘mé ton sorire, ton envam

 

Portat per la vida, souple, mai bolegant

Aviàu lo bati-bati, ren qu’en te regardant

 

Did I ever tell you, oh did I?

Somehow, never got a chance did I?

 

Did I ever tell you about

All the things I could have wished for?

All the games we could have played?

All the things we could have done,

I could have done, to you

 

A de filhas d’aqui d’ailà, ai mostrat mon amor

A de filhas polidas, ai donat un solet jorn

 

Gardar la testa clara, sota lei projectors

O que fas ma Nina, a jogar ‘mé mon amor ?

 

Did I ever show you, oh did I?

Someday, we might get a chance to fly

Together now

 

Did I ever show you

All the things I never said?

All the games I always played?

All the things we never did,

I never did… to you?

 

Under a moonlit sky

Cool drink in my hand

Hear the waves crashing by

I’m writing in the sand

Will you join me now

Unlock those souvenirs?

I’ll show you how

To find the real me 

How real can it be?

 

Aviau lei pès dins l’aiga, un cocktail en man

Did I ever tell you?

 

T’ai vist passar ‘mé ton sorire, ton envam

Somehow, I never got a chance did I?

 

Portat per la vida, souple, mai bolegant

Did I ever show you, oh no

 

Aviàu lo bati-bati, ren qu’en te regardant

Someday, we might get a chance

 

Did I ever tell you about…

All the things I could have wished for?

All the games we could have played?

All the things we could have done,

I could have done, to you

 

Aviau lei pès dins l’aiga

Did I?

Allow me

(A. Pannetier)

I brush the hair as it falls in my eyes

Stirring my coffee, as I realise

I caught that look, so don’t act surprised

Keep up your act, I’m no fool in disguise

 

Allow me

To break the spell

Allow me

To know you well

Allow me

A  glimpse inside

Allow me

To see what you hide

 

Escondut darrier tei belas paraulas

Apresas dei libres, son que d’illusions

D’imatges somiats, coma dins la faula

De qu’es lo bon ròtle, mont’es la rason ?

 

Allow me…x2

 

A touch of your hand as you lean by my side

You’re moving in closer, take me for a ride

‘n bring down your mask, as my heart skips a beat

How could it be magic everytime we meet?

 

Allow me… x2

 

7 temps

(A. Pannetier)

 

Un jorn per viure

Dos tems de passion

Tres paraulas d’una cançon

Quatre o cinq tèms e

Seis jorns per trobar

Sèt minutas d’eternitat

 

Un jour pour vivre

Deux mots de passions

Trois paroles d’une chanson

Quatre ou cinq temps et

Six jours pour trouver

Sept minutes d’éternité

 

Time cannot hold

You in my dreams, my heart, my soul

Time cannot be

The only one to hold the key

S’aviau la clau

Te balharai mon còr

S’aviau de fortuna

T’agacharai la luna

 

Un jorn per viure

Dos tems de passion

Tres paraulas d’una cançon

Quatre o cinq tèms e

Seis jorns per trobar

Sèt minutas d’eternitat

 

Time cannot hold

You in my dreams, my heart, my soul

Time cannot be

The only one to hold the key

S’aviau la clau

Te balharai mon còr

S’aviau de fortuna

T’agacharai la luna

 

And I’ll count the days until

The sun will rise again my way

I’ll count the days until

The moon will shine again someday
