FR:
Quand mes pensées vont parfois,
Vers des lieux distants

Là ou j’étais autrefois

Je vois palpitant


paraître un pays au-delà du grand océan
paraître des bribes de joie,
de tendresse
je ne pourrai oublier les couleurs,
le vent
les gens, la sérénité,

le
bonheur présent
là-basje pouvais ralentir le tempo le temps
je chantais à en ravir la paresse

comme autrefois,
comme autrefois
en douceur

rechercher la cadence
comme autrefois,
comme autrefois
lentement pour trouver résonance


si mon passé quelques fois m’est si apaisant
c’est qu’il recèle l’émoi d’un ailleurs distant

là-bas je savais que l’on peut sourire autrement

je chantais fou de joie, de tristesse


comme autrefois, comme autrefois
en douceur rechercher la cadence
comme autrefois,
comme autrefois
lentement pour trouver résonance
ENG:
When my thoughts go sometimes
To distant places
Where I once was
I see a land
a land beyond the great ocean
brief glimpses of joy, of tenderness
I can't forget the colors, the wind
the people, the serenity, the happiness of the moment
over there I could slow down the tempo of time
I would sing to the joy of idleness

as in days gone by, as in days gone by
gently in search of the cadence
as in days gone by, as in days gone by
slowly to find resonance


if my past is sometimes so soothing to me
it's because it conceals the stirrings of a distant elsewhere
there I knew that one could in a different way
i would sing crazy with joy, with sadness

as in days gone by, as in days gone by
gently in search of the cadence
as in days gone by, as in days gone by
slowly to find resonance

ENG:
Today, tomorrow always together like sand the sun and the breeze

in Copacabana Rio
Like walking along the beach with no care in the world
with you hand in hand

in Copacabana Rio

Sidewalks of black and white

making our love take flight
Soaring above the trees a mellow melody that we can sing
This bossa divine nova
Well that look so deep in your eyes sets my heart aglow

I’m in love

Under this night moonlit sky I dream of your smile I cannot deny its (like) Copacabana Rio
You see you’re my Destiny, my comic relief my blessed release like Copacabana Rio

Time and the sea fly by, knowing we can rely
On the shelter we create,

no one can penetrate our passion entwined

Our bossa nova divine
Well that look deep in your eyes sets my heart aglow

I’m in love

We gon’ keep that thang just vibing,
We gon’ keep that thang just vibing,
We gon’ keep that thang just moving,
We gon’ keep that thang just moving,
We just want to see you work,
We just want to see you work.

You just clocked out your day shift,
On the way to the club for your late shift,
I mean you dance but you're not kind that take tips,
But you should, ‘cause I seen how you shake hips (dang hold on),
I want to see you, work,
This ya song gon’ hit a little twerk,
It’s getting late, hope you ain't gotta work,
In the morning, be safe getting home,
They patrolling,
You said bye fuve times as you going,
You ain't really trying to leave we be knowing,
Man You know you're about to call in and,
Next week you're going to call in again.

We gon’ keep that thang just vibing,
We gon’ keep that thang just vibing,
We gon’ keep that thang just moving,
We gon’ keep that thang just moving,
We just want to see you work,
We just want to see you work.
