(Lyrics)
Si tu entends ma mélodie
Quelque part, très loin d´ici
Elle te parlera de moi
Elle te dira des mots d´amour
Notre vie de tous les jours
Alors, tu te souviendras
Si tu écoutes ma chanson
Chantée par d´autres garçons
C´est encore et toujours moi
Si, dans ton cœur, ma mélodie
Ressemble à la nostalgie
Je t´en prie, reviens vers moi
Je ne sais où je vais,
Pourquoi les heures sonnent
Tout seul, au fil des jours
L´espoir m´abandonne
Mais si tu écoutes ma chanson
Elle vient te crier pardon
Pour ton chagrin d´autrefois
Si tu entends ma mélodie
Et que tout n´est pas fini
Je t´en prie, reviens vers moi
La la la...
(Lyrics)
Yesterday when I was young,
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue,
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game,
The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame;
The thousand dreams I dreamed,
The splendid things I planned I always built, alas,
On weak and shifting sand;
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
And only now I see how the years ran away.
Yesterday
When I was young,
So many drinking songs were waiting to be sung,
So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see,
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out,
I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation I can now recall concerned itself with me,
Me and nothing else at all.
Yesterday the moon was blue,
And every crazy day brought something new to do,
I used my magic age as if it were a wand,
And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond;
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died;
The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
And only I am left on stage to end the play.
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung,
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue,
The time has come for me to pay
For yesterday When I was young.
(Lyrics):
Mama leone, mama leone tu sei un angelo
Mama leone sei sempre stata sol per la poverta
Mama leone tu ai dato tanto di felicita
A bimbi ai dato il tuo amore
Non hanno avuto che dolore mama leone
Mama leone, mama leone fa che ritori in noi
Mama leone quella s'peranza di riamarci e poi
Mama leone forse domani tutto cambiera
Cosi non piangeran pui bimbi
E canterano gli innocenti mama leone
Mama leone, mama leone tu che ti trovi la
Mama leone in quel paese pien di sereni ta
Mama leone tu che sei sante piena di bonta
Fai che nel mondo ci sia amore
In questa terra dï dolore mama leone
Mama leone, mama leonee
Mama leone, mama leonee
(Lyrics)
Mama Leone, Mama Leone, du musst ein Engel sein
Mama Leone, nur für die Armen schlägt dein Herz allein
Mama Leone, du hast für dieses Dorf so viel getan,
den Kindern hast du Brot gegeben,
sie haben sonst nicht viel vom Leben, Mama Leone.
Mama Leone, Mama Leone, sing uns das Abendlied,
Mama Leone, weil dann die Hoffnung in unsere Herzen zieht
Mama Leone, laß morgen alles besser sein
dann brauchen Kinder nicht zu weinen
dann wachsen Blumen aus den Steinen, Mama Leone.
Mama Leone, Mama Leone, wo kommt der Wagen her
ein schwarzer Wagen mit einem Blumenmeer,
Mama Leone, mußt du zurück in dieses schöne Land
nach dem wir alle uns so sehnen
das ist der Grund für unsere Tränen, Mama Leone.
Mama Leone, Mama Leone, Mama Leone.
