ΣΤΙΧΟΙ ΑΠΟ ΕΝΑ ΤΡΑΓΟΥΔΙ ΠΟΥ ΑΓΑΠΗΣΑΜΕ - ΑΓΑΠΑΜΕ ΚΑΙ ΣΙΓΟΤΡΑΓΟΥΔΑΜΕ!

Re: Στίχοι αγαπημένων μας τραγουδιών!!!

AN ANGRY SILENCE LAY, WHERE LOVE HAD BEEN

AN IN YOUR EYES A LOOK, I'VE NEVER SEEN

IF I HAVE FOUND THE WORDS, YOU MIGHT HAVE STAYED

BUT AS I TURN TO SPEAK, THE MUSIC PLAYED.


AS LOVERS DANCED THEIR WAY,AROUND THE FLOOR

I SAT AND WATCHED YOU WALK, TOWARDS THE DOOR

I HEARD A FRIEND OF YOURS,SUGGEST YOU STAYED

AND AS YOU TOOK HIS HAND, THE MUSIC PLAYED.


ACROSS THE DARKENED ROOM, THE FAINTEST SIGHT I SAW

HE'D BEEN SOMETHING MORE,THAN FRIENDS BEFORE

WHILE I WAS HURTING YOU, BY CLINGING TO MY PRIDE

HE HAD BEEN WAITING,AND I DROVE HIM,TO YOUR SIDE.


I COULDN'T SAY THE THINGS, I SHOULD HAVE SAID

REFUSED TO LET MY HEART,CONTROL MY HEAD

BUT I WAS MADE TO SEE,THE PRICE I PAID

AND AS HE HELD YOU CLOSE, THE MUSIC PLAYED.


AND AS I LOST YOUR LOVE, THE MUSIC PLAYED.......

Wheel Of Fortune

The wheel of fortune
Goes spinning around
Will the arrow point my way?
Will this be my day?

Oh, wheel of fortune
Please don't pass me by
Let me know the magic of
A kiss and a sigh

While the wheel is spining, spinning, spinning
I'll not dream of winning fortune or fame
While the wheel is turning, turning, turning
I'll be yearning, yearning
For love's precious flame

Oh, wheel of fortune
I'm hoping somehow
If you ever smile on me
Please let it be now

While the wheel is spining, spinning, spinning
I'll not dream of winning fortune or fame
While the wheel is turning, turning, turning
I'll be yearning, yearning
For love's precious flame

Oh, wheel of fortune
I'm hoping somehow
If you ever smile on me
Please let it be now

WISH YOU WERE HERE

They're not making the skies as blue this year - wish you were here
As blue as they used to when you were near - wish you were here
And the mornings don't seem as new
Brand-new as they did with you
Wish you were here, wish you were here, wish you were here

Someone's painting the leaves all wrong this year - wish you were here
And why did the birds change their song this year - wish you were here
They're not shining the stars as bright
They've stolen the joy from the night
Wish you were here, wish you were here, wish you were here

Someone's painting the leaves all wrong this year - wish you were here
Why did the birds change their song this year - wish you were here
They're not shining the stars as bright
They've stolen the joy from the night
Wish you were here, wish you were here, wish you were here

I'm Walking Behind You

I'm walking behind you on your wedding day
And I'll hear you promise to love and obey
Though you may forget me, you're still on my mind
Look over your shoulder, I'm walking behind

Maybe I'll kiss again with a love that's new
But I shall wish again I was kissing you

'cause I'll always love you wherever you go
And though we are parted, I want you to know
That if things go wrong, dear, and fate is unkind
Look over your shoulder, I'm walking behind

If things go wrong, dear, and fate is unkind
Look over your shoulder, I'm walking behind

Percy Faith & His Orchestra
Where Is Your Heart

Whenever we kiss
I worry and wonder
Your lips may be near
But where is your heart?

It's always like this
I worry and wonder
You're close to me here
But where is your heart?

It's a sad thing to realize
That you've a heart that never melts
When we kiss, do you close your eyes
Pretending that I'm someone else?

You must break the spell
This cloud that I'm under
So please won't you tell
Darling, where is your heart?

Patti Page
Changing Partners

We were waltzin' together to a dreamy melody
When they called out "Change partners"
And you waltzed away from me
Now my arms feel so empty as I gaze around the floor
And I'll keep on changing partners
Till I hold you once more

Though we danced for one moment and too soon we had to part
In that wonderful moment somethin' happened to my heart
So I'll keep changing partners till you're in my arms and then
Oh, my darlin' I will never change partners again

Though we danced for one moment and too soon we had to part
In that wonderful moment somethin' happened to my heart
So I'll keep changing partners till you're in my arms and then
Oh, my darlin' I will never change partners again

Crazy bout you baby want you all to myself
Crazy, yes I'm crazy
Crazy baby, want you all to myself

Hernando’s Hideaway

I know a dark secluded place.
A place where no one knows your face.
A glass of wine, a fast embrace.
It’s called Hernando’s Hideaway. Ole!

All you’ll see are silhouettes.
And all you’ll hear are castanets.
And no one cares how late it gets.
Not at Hernando’s Hideaway. Ole!

At the Golden Fingerbowl or any place you go
You will meet your Uncle Max and everyone you know,
But if you’ll go to the spot that I am thinkin’ of,
You will be free to gaze at me and talk of love.

Just knock thee times and whisper low
That you and I were sent by Joe,
Then strike a match and you will know
You’re in Hernando’s Hideway. Ole!

Just knock three times and whisper low
That you and I were sent by Joe,
Then strike a match and you will know
You’re in Hernando’s Hideaway.

Hey There

Lately when I'm in my room all by myself
In the solitary gloom I call to myself

Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes
Love never made a fool of you, you used to be too wise
Hey there, you on that high-flyin' cloud
Though he won't throw a crumb to you, you think some day he'll come to you

Better forget him, him with his nose in the air
He has you dancin' on a string, break it and he won't care

Won't you take this advice I hand you like a mother
Or are you not seein' things too clear
Are you too much in love to hear
Is it all goin' in one ear and out the other

Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes Are you talking to me?
Love never made a fool of you Not until now
You used to be too wise Yes, I was once

Will you take this advice I hand you like a mother
Or am I not seein' things too clear
Are you just too far gone to hear
Is it all goin' in one ear and out the other

I REALLY DON'T WANT TO KNOW

How many arms have held you
And hated to let you go
How many, how many, I wonder,
But I really don't want to know.

How many lips have kissed you,
And set your soul aglow
How many, how many, I wonder,
But I really don't want to know.

So always make me wonder,
Always make me guess.
And even if I ask you,
Darlin don't confess.
Just let it remain your secret,
But darlin I love you so.
No Wonder, no wonder I wonder.
Though I really don't want to know

Mr. Sandman

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I’ve ever seen
Give him two lips like roses and clover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
Sandman, I’m so alone
Don’t have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.


Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I’ve ever seen
Give him the word that I’m not a rover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
Sandman, I’m so alone
Don’t have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.


Mr. Sandman bring us a dream
Give him a pair of eyes with a "come-hither" gleam
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
And lots of wavy hair like Liberace
Mr Sandman, someone to hold someone to hold
Would be so peachy before we’re too old
So please turn on your magic beam
Mr Sandman, bring us, please, please, please
Mr Sandman, bring us a dream.

THAT'S ALL I WANT FROM YOU

A little love that slowly grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes
That's all I want from you

A sunny day with bolts up to the sky
A kiss and no goodbye
That's all I want from you

Don't let me down, Oh show me that you care
Remember when you give, You also get your share
Don't let me down, I have no time to waste
Tomorrow might not come, When dreamers dream too late

A little love that slowly grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes
That's all I want from you

Don't let me down, Oh show me that you care
Remember when you give, You also get your share
Don't let me down, I have no time to waste
Tomorrow might not come, When dreamers dream too late

Johnnie Ray
The Meaning of Love

To ev'ry girl, to ev'ry boy,
Whose empty heart has known no joy,
This emptiness is part of your love story,
Till you know the meaning of love.
To ev'ry one who feels afraid,
It's only Life that's on parade
And Life may bring you tears, in place of glory,
Till you know the meaning of love.
There may be pain,
There may be misery,
All this may be,
Along with ecstacy,
Don't think these things are far above you,
It's always so, when someone loves you.
Your day will come, Your eyes will shine
And you will cry, "This love is mine!"
And suddenly your heart will tell you,
You know the meaning of love!

Οδυσσέας Ελύτης - Το παράπονο

Στίχοι: Οδυσσέας Ελύτης
Μουσική: Δημήτρης Παπαδημητρίου
Πρώτη εκτέλεση: Ελευθερία Αρβανιτάκη

Εδώ στου δρόμου τα μισά
έφτασε η ώρα να το πω
άλλα είναι εκείνα που αγαπώ
γι' αλλού γι' αλλού ξεκίνησα.

Στ' αληθινά στα ψεύτικα
το λέω και τ' ομολογώ.
Σα να 'μουν άλλος κι όχι εγώ
μες στη ζωή πορεύτηκα.

Όσο κι αν κανείς προσέχει
όσο κι αν το κυνηγά,
πάντα πάντα θα 'ναι αργά
δεύτερη ζωή δεν έχει

See See Rider

Oh see, See See Rider
Girl see, what you've done
Oh, oh, oh See See Rider
See what you've done now
You've gone away and left me,
Lord, now and now the blues have come, oh yes, they do

Oh, well I'm goin', goin' away baby
And I won't be back till fall
Oh yes I am, going away baby
And I won't be back till fall
If I get me a good lookin' woman
No, no, no, I won't be back at all, all right

And I see, See See Rider, I love you, yes I do
And there isn't one thing darlin'
I would not do for you
You know I want you See See
I need you by my side
See See Rider, ough, keep me satisfied

Oh See See Rider, See See Rider, See See Rider
See See Rider, See See Rider, See See Rider
You keep on ridin', keep on riding
Here I come baby, look out, beat it, all right
Don't lose it now, come one, come on, yeah

Here she comes, she's all right,
She's so fine, she's all mine
See See, come on, can we take a ride now, hey

Well, I'm goin, goin' away baby
And I won't be back till fall
Oh yes I'm goin', going away baby
And I won't be back till fall
If I find me a good lookin' woman
No, no, no, I won't be back at all
And that's the truth baby
Listen, I'm going, all right
Somebody told me, somebody told me
I'm Joe Jackson, I'm leavin'
All right, all right, ough!

 

[Snow Whitty]

In the sunlight of your smile
In the summer of our life
In the magic of love
Storms above scattered away

Lovers dreaming in the night
Reaching for paradise
But as the dark shadows fade
Love slips away

On an empty stretch of beach
In the pattern of the waves
Drawing pictures with my hand
In the sand, I see your face

Skipping pebbles on the sea
Wishing for paradise
Sand castles crumble below
The restless tides ebb and flow

Listening to a shell
Hoping for your voice
Beautiful Maria of my soul

Though we'll always be apart
Locked forever in a dream
If I ever love again
Even then, nothing will change

And the taste of you remains
Clinging to paradise
But as the distance from you grows
All that my heart ever knows
Hunger for your kiss
Longing for your touch
Beautiful Maria of my soul


Κι υστερα σου λενε....Γεια σου Μαρια!:happy_5:

[Παναγιώτης Μελάς]

Άργησα, αλλά ιδού:


Μάνος Χατζιδάκις
Νίκος Γκάτσος



Ερμηνεία: Μανώλης Μητσιάς

Ο Γιάννης ο φονιάς,
παιδί μιας πατρινιάς
κι ενός μεσολογγίτη
Προχτές την Κυριακή,
μετά απ’ τη φυλακή
επέρασ’ απ’ το σπίτι

Του βγάλαμε γλυκό,
τού βγάλαμε και μέντα
μα για το φονικό
δεν είπαμε κουβέντα

Μονάχα το Φροσί
με δάκρυ θαλασσί
στα μάτια τα μεγάλα
Τού φίλησε βουβά
τα χέρια τ’ ακριβά
και βγήκε από τη σάλα

Δεν μπόρεσε κανείς
τον πόνο της ν’ αντέξει
Κι ούτε ένας συγγενής
να πει δεν βρήκε λέξη

Κι ο Γιάννης ο φονιάς
στην άκρη της γωνιάς
με του καημού τ’ αγκάθι
Θυμήθηκε ξανά
φεγγάρια μακρινά
και τ’ όνειρο που εχάθη

Όποιος το έχει ακούσει (πόσοι άραγε δεν το έχουν) ξέρει για τί ακριβώς μιλάω, τόσον όσον αφορά στη μουσική, όσο και στους στίχους.

Αριστούργημα με όλη τη σημασία της λέξης, με την απαράμιλλη μουσική σφραγίδα του Μάνου και την μοναδική υπογραφή του Γκάτσου.

Τέλος, επειδή το ψάχνω πολύ καιρό τώρα, ανοίγω ένα ξεχωριστό thread για να μάθω την ιστορία πίσω από αυτούς τους στίχους.

Α, ξέχασα. Και ο Μητσιάς, βέβαια. Εκπληκτικός, όπως πάντα, αποδίδει με ξεχωριστό τρόπο το ύφος (μουσικό και ποιητικό). Ο τέλειος συνδυασμός, νομίζω.

 

[Maria Pentagiotissa]

Υποκλίνομαι στην επιλογή του κ. Μελά.
Ένα από τα καλύτερα ελληνικά τραγούδια ever, συγκλονιστικό μέσα στη λιτότητά του.
