Paroles et traductions de l'album MUSIC AND ME

(Michael Jackson)

1- WITH A CHILD'S HEART

Ecrit par Sylvia Moy, Henry Cosby et Vicki Basemore
Arrangé par Freddie Perren
Produit par Freddie Perren et Fonce Mizell

With a child’s heart
Go face the worries of the day
With a child’s heart
Turn each problem into play
No need to worry
No need to fear
Just being alive
Makes it all so very clear

 

With a child’s heart
Nothing can ever get you down
With a child’s heart
You’ve got no reason to frown
(Love)
Love is as welcome
As a sunny, sunny day
No grown up thoughts
To lead our hearts astray

 

Take life easy
So easy
Nice and easy
Like a child
So gay and so carefree
Yeah

 

The whole world smiles with you
As you go your merry way
Oh, with a child’s heart
Nothing’s gonna get
Nothing’s gonna get
Nothing’s gonna get me down
Oh, with a child’s heart
Nothing’s gonna get
Nothing’s gonna get
Nothing’s gonna get me down


2- UP AGAIN

Ecrit par Freddie Perren et Christine Yarian
Arrangé par Freddie Perren
Produit par Freddie Perren et Fonce Mizell

Into each life some rain falls
Then comes the snow
But after the snow
The flowers will grow
Girl, when my life got stormy
You stayed for the ride
You stayed by my side
You made the sun shine

 

I’m up again
I’ll never let you down
Nothing’s ever gonna stop me now
Up again I’ll never let you down
I love you

 

This Humpty Dumpty’s lucky
He’s had his fall
But after it all
He brushed himself off
Knowing how much you loved me
I made one more try
I reached for the sky
And I made it this time

 

I’m up again I’ll never let you down
Nothing’s ever gonna stop me now
Up again I’ll never let you down
I love you

 

I’m up again I’ll never let you down
No, nothing’s ever gonna stop me now
Up again I’ll never let you down
I love you


3- ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE

Ecrit par Oscar Hammerstein II et Jerome Kern
Arrangé par James Carmichael
Produit par Mel Larson et Jerry Marcellino

You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song

 

You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I know are what you are

 

Some day my happy arms will hold you
And some day I’ll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine

 

You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I know are what you are

 

Some, some, some, some day
My happy arms will hold you
And some day I’ll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine
All the things you are, are mine
All the thing you are going mine


4- HAPPY

Ecrit par Michel Legrand et William "Smokey" Robinson
Arrangé par Gene Page
Produit par Hal Davis

Sadness had been
Close as my next of kin
Then happy came one day
Chased my blues away
My life began when happy smiled
Sweet like candy to a child
Stay here and love me just a while
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was

 

Happy, that’s you
You made my life brand new
Lost as a little lamb was I
Till you came in
My life began when happy smiled
Sweet like candy to a child
Stay here and love me just a while
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be there where sadness was

 

(Till now)
Where have I been
What lifetime was I in
Suspended between time and space
Lonely until happy came smiling up at me
Sadness had no choice but to flee
I said a prayer so silently
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was
Till now

 

Happy
Yeah, yeah, happy


5- TOO YOUNG

Ecrit par S. Lippman et S. Dee
Arrangé par Gene Page
Produit par Hal Davis

They try to tell us
We’re too young
Too young
To really be in love
They say that love’s a word
A word we’ve only heard
But can’t begin to know the meaning of
And yet we’re not too young to know
This love will last
Though years may go
And then someday they may recall
We were not too young at all

 

(They try to tell us we’re too young)
(Too young to really mean love)

 

And yet
We’re not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then someday they may recall
We were not too young at all


6- DOGGIN' AROUND

Ecrit par Lena Agree
Arrangé par Gene Page
Produit par Hal Davis

You better stop
Your doggin’ around
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
’Cause if you don’t stop
I’m gonna have to put you down

 

I can’t take it much longer
My heart’s getting weak
It’s not getting any stronger
You keep me so upset
My head’s in a whirl
But if you wanna be, yeah
Be my girl

 

You better stop
Your doggin’ around
You know what I’m talkin’ about
Yeah, yeah, yeah
If you don’t stop
I’m gonna have to put you down
Baby, yes I do, yes I do
Gonna, gonna put you down
You’re doggin’ me (repeat)
I’m gonna have to put you down

 

Yes you do, you’re doggin’ me (repeat)
You better stop
Your doggin’ me around

Ecrit par Billy Page
Arrangé par Gene Page
Produit par Hal Davis

(He’s born to be wild)

 

Free and untamed
That’s how I’ve grown
(He’s Johnny Raven)
Setting down ain’t my nature
Roots I’ll never own
(He’s Johnny Raven)
Oh, your smile
But tell me, ain’t your child
How can you cage a bird
Born to be wild

 

I’m Johnny Ravenby
(He’s Johnny Raven)
By and by
Oh, I’m gonna leave your nest, girl
Another nest to try
Ooh, Johnny Raven
Girl, you know I shouldn’t have loved you
Yeah, but I gotta leave you
When my restless heart says goodbye

 

Look at you, little girl
You feel love so deep
If I could change in a second
I’d change for you like that
Stay right here for keeps
But I’m home free for no thrills
Stray I will
Seems I gotta need one girl
Never can feel

 

Yeah, I’m Johnny Raven
By and by
I’m gonna leave your nest
Another nest to try
Ooh, I’m Johnny Raven
Girl, you know I shouldn’t have loved you
Yeah, but I’ve got to leave you
When my restless heart says goodbye

 

Everybody knows my name
I’m Johnny Raven
Yeah, yeah
By and by
I’m gonna fly
And when you cry
A part of me’s gonna die

 

Ooh, I’m Johnny Raven
By and by
I’m gonna fly
And when you cry
A part of me is gonna die

Love, Love, Love, Love
Love, Love, Love, Love
Love, Love, Love, Love
Love, Love, Love, Love

 

EUPHORIA, EUPHORIA, EUPHORIA, EUPHORIA

 

E-U-P-H-O-R-I-A
That’s the new word for the day
E-U-P-H-O-R-I-A
It’s very esya to say
Say Euphoria
And you’ll feel fine from the start
You can close your eyes
And see the world with your heart

 

Do what you wish
Be what you are
What a victorious thrill
Wearing a smile, all of the while
Feeling the world standing still
Watch rainbows glow rest on a bed of flowers
Then dial a star
Anything’s in your powers

 

E-U-P-H-O-R-I-A
Full euphoria
Knowing no ills
Needing no pills
Singing a rock and a roll hymn
Feeling glorius, full of love
Fine from the start
You can close your eyes
And see the world with your heart

 

How good to be happy and free
Living the way that you choose
Healthly and clean
Can’t understand anyone having the blues
Euphoria never to feel frustration
How great to give euphoria invitation
Euphoria, euphoria
Long as we love each other


9- MORNING GLOW

Ecrit par Stephen Schwartz
Arrangé par Dave Blumberg
Produit par Bob Gaudio
>From The Broadway musical "Pippin"

Morning glow
Morning glow
Starts to glimmer when you know
Winds of change are set to blow
And sweep this whole land through

Morning glow is long past due

 

Morning glow
Fill the earth
Come and shine for all you’re worth
We’ll be present at the birth
Of all faith looking new
Morning glow is long past due

 

(Oh, morning glow)
(I’d like to help you grow)
You should have started long ago

 

Morning glow
All day long
For we sing tomorrow’s song
Never knew we could be so strong
But now it’s very clear
Morning glow is almost here

 

(Oh, morning glow)
(I’d like to help you grow)
You should have started long ago

 

Morning glow
All your life
We can make the new day right
All the bad songs of the night
Will fade into the past

Morning glow is here at last


10 - MUSIC AND ME

Ecrit par Jerry Marcellino, Mel Larson, Don Fenceton et Mike Cannon
Arrangé par James Carmichael
Produit par Mel Larson et Jerry Marcellino

We’ve been together
For such a long time now
Music, music and me
Don’t care whether all our songs rhyme now
Music, music and me

 

Only know wherever I go
We’re as close as two friends can be
There have been others
But never two lovers
Like music, music and me

 

Grab a song and come along
You can sing your melody
In your mind you will find
A world of sweet harmony
Birds of a feather
We’ll fly together
Now music, music and me
Music and me
