The South 02:48
The South, In the South, The forests are green We are alive in the whispering stream, We are awake in the heart of the wood The South, In the South, The morning is bright We are asleep in the dead of the night, But in the morning we're already gone In the South, The darkness of life Is blown away by the rise of the dawn And the forest is silent for now, Silent for now

Enfin, perdus dans le désert, Seuls au monde Franchissant ensemble, sous le soleil austral, Des kilomètres et des kilomètres Sans vouloir s'arrêter Adieu, misères du quotidien Place au bonheur! Se posant au bord de cette belle route perdue, Le silence, le ciel, et l'Hirondelle, Pour nous c'est l'essentiel Au loin, au milieu de nulle part Comme une ombre, Le vent du désert a suivi jusqu'ici Nos esprits dans la nuit en chuchotant Quelques promesses Ces après-midis, Les plus heureux de ma vie, Nous ont reuni Et le vent du désert Se souviendra de nous, j'en suis sûr... On se reverra toi et moi, Un d'ces quatres, Pour reprendre ensemble cette meme belle route perdue Qui nous amènera encore plus loin Dans le désert Beau vent du désert, rigole avec nous Sur le chemin qui mène au bonheur Viens donc avec nous, Le temps est venu De s'envoler au-delà de l'horizon!

For away from the island, Over the waves, I am alone, Years have gone by I'm an albatross, Crossing every ocean I'm an albatross, Over the horizon I'm an albatross, Lonely everywhere I go Gliding low as the wind blows, Skimming the waves I am alone, Braving the cold I'm an albatross, Crossing every ocean I'm an albatross, Over the horizon I'm an albatross, Lonely everywhere I go Ocean storms in the darkness, Thunder in me I fly in sadness, In melancholy I'll return with the solstice, Over the waves, Back to the island With you by my side, I'm an albatross, Crossing every ocean I'm an albatross, Over the horizon I'm an albatross, Lonely everywhere I go I'm an albatross, Crossing every ocean I'm an albatross, Over the horizon I'm an albatross, Lonely everywhere I go

Never thought that I would see The everlasting light Never knew that I could be Your candle in the night, and I wanna know, my darling, What you think of me In a lonely forest or A castle by the sea We will take you by the hand And cover you with love, and I wanna know, my darling, What you think of me Little purple coat Was a rainy day in autumn, Not a bird in sight You were looking out the window, Jumping in delight, and I wanna know, my darling, What you think of me Little purple coat And you ran in the rain In your little purple coat Dancing the afternoon away With me Run away with me, my love...

Another song about an angel Another melody today Another letter to my girl, For her to take me away I was alone before I knew you, I was asleep in every way I was a vagabond, The wind would take me away On the 5th of July, The roses bloom in the night When the ocean breeze Is at our doorstep What can go wrong? How we found each other, I could not explain But it's true, it's like a Theatre play And so at last we are together And I remember that fine day Where I could hold you in my arms And we were one, after an age On the 5th of July, The roses bloom in the night When the ocean breeze Is at our doorstep What can go wrong? On the 5th of July! Another day you are away My guitar, it disobeys me I gotta be up in the morning, Better put it away I'm gonna be with you forever, Forever dancing in the rain There was a magic on that day, And it's still here today On the 5th of July, The roses bloom in the night When the ocean breeze Is at our doorstep What can go wrong?

I forgot What it feels like To be around you, now How many stars Can you see in The everlasting night In autumn? I have come To the forest To dream in the moonlight I am sure You are out there, I listen for your flight Under the whispering branches, I never make a sound In autumn And when the owl says to me, From the green depths of his tree: ''Dwell in the forest with me'', I feel alive I have seen In the twilight, The wishes in your tears They fall down From the heavens To wash away my fears And when the owl says to me, From the green depths of his tree: ''Dwell in the forest with me'', And in the rain, When the owl says to me, From the green depths of his tree: ''Dwell in the forest with me'', I feel alive I must leave The eternal woods, And I don't know why But I can stay For a while with you, Closer to the sky

Another Man 03:05
I was another man before I walked across the plains of time I never wallow anymore Since I made you mine There was a place where I was forged, An island in the deepest ocean The giant waves crashed on the shore, Roaring in the night The never-ending rain was cold, And the wind was strong But when at last I flew away, I looked back in sorrow I was another man before, I couldn't live without your love I wanna thank the sun and stars For creating you

Juliette 04:40
Like a sparrow in the night Sleeping soundly out of sight, You are soft and warm my dear, Darkness leaves when you are near And I love you so, Til the moon loses its glow We will walk and run and play On some grey and dreamy day In the restless ocean breeze, Your hair dances with the trees And I love you so, Til the winter loses its snow We have waited for so long, Juliette, For your joyful smile to come, Juliette, Juliette Darling, you were born before, Always on the distant shore Of our wishful thoughts by night Under the blue christmas lights And I love you so, Til the stream loses its flow We have waited for so long, Juliette, For your joyful smile to come, Juliette, Juliette We have waited for so long, Juliette, For your joyful smile to come, Juliette, Juliette And so here we are today, I have nothing more to say Other than we love you so, Til the moon loses its glow

Island Life 04:35
When I was little boy Running through the fields of my Childhood, out in the winter weather I would never realise In my ecstasy just how Fast that I was going all the time Kinda like a silver stream, Flowing through the ground and Oblivious to the beauty around And you know, I miss those days, So far away, So cold and grey, All together Every other hemisphere, We would reunite in the Winter weather, under a grey sky Anywhere a lorikeet Flashes right on by, I know We will be alright until the night And I see you all, from my island life When did the time manage to fly away? And I see you all, from my island life When did the time manage to fly away? And you know, I miss those days, So far away, So cold and grey, All together
