Sarbel - Takse mou (promise me)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8UtPZ-E3NA

Μου λες θα φύγεις μακριά από μένα
you say you will go far away from me
θέλεις λιγάκι να ξεκούραστείς
you want to rest for a while
μα σαν και την δική μου την αγάπη
but a love like mine
σ' όλο τον χάρτη δεν θα ξαναβρείς
you wont find in the entire map
Μην με ρωτάς πως θα αντιδράσω
dont ask me how i will react
τώρα που φεύγεις και θα σε χάσω
now that you are leaving and i will lose you

chorus: x2
Τάξε μου, τάξε μου
promise me promise me (something)
και θα μάθεις τι θα κάνω
and you will learn what i will do
Τάξε μου, τάξε μου
promise me promise me
τώρα που εγώ σε χάνω
now that i am losing you


Aλλη αγάπη θα βρω να σε ξεχάσω
i will find another love to forget about you
θα γιορτάσω αυτό τον χωρισμό
i will celebrate this separation
θα γλεντήσω και θα σε ξεπεράσω
i will go out to have fun and i will get over you
να σε βγάλω απ' το μυαλό
to get you out of my mind
Aλλη αγάπη θα βρω να σε ξεχάσω
i will find another love to forget about you
θα γιορτάσω που δεν με αγαπάς
i will celebrate the fact you dont love me
αφού θέλεις να βλέπεις κάποιον άλλο
since you would like to see someone else
είσαι ελεύθερή να πας
you are free to go

Μου λες θα φύγεις μακριά από μένα
you say you will go far away from me
γιατί σε κούρασε η σχέση αυτή
because this relationship has tired you
μα όπως αγάπησα εγώ εσένα
but the way i loved you
να ξέρεις δεν θα σου ξανασυμβεί
know that it wont happen again
Μην με ρωτάς πως θα αντιδράσω
dont ask me how i will react
τώρα που φεύγεις και θα σε χάσω
now that you are leaving and i will lose you

Τάξε μου, τάξε μου
promise me promise me
και θα μάθεις τι θα κάνω
and you will learn what i will do
Τάξε μου, τάξε μου
promise me promise me
τώρα που εγώ σε χάνω
now that i am losing you

Aλλη αγάπη θα βρω να σε ξεχάσω
i will find another love to forget about you
θα γιορτάσω αυτό τον χωρισμό
i will celebrate this separation
θα γλεντήσω και θα σε ξεπεράσω
i will go out to have fun and i will get over you
να σε βγάλω απ' το μυαλό
to get you out of my mind
Aλλη αγάπη θα βρω να σε ξεχάσω
i will find another love to forget about you
θα γιορτάσω που δεν με αγαπάς
i will celebrate the fact you dont love me
αφού θέλεις να βλέπεις κάποιον άλλο
since you would like to see someone else
είσαι ελεύθερή να πας
you are free to go

Μην σε νοιάζει τώρα πως περνώ και που πάω
dont you care now, how i am doing and where i am going
Μην σε νοιάζει με ποια βγαίνω και τι κάνω γιατί
dont you care with who i am going out and what i am doing because
ήτανε επιλογή δική σου να φύγεις
it was your own choice to leave
κι ευχομαί να μην το μετανιώσεις ούτε στιγμή
and i hope you wont regret it

Μα αν το μετανιώσεις να το ξέρεις καρδιά μου
but if you regret it know it my heart
πως μπορεί να βρίσκομαι σε μία άλλη αγκαλιά
that i may be in someone elses arms
κι ότι θα 'ναι δύσκολο να έρθεις κοντά μου
and that it will be difficult for you to come back
τότε να το ξέρεις πως για μας θα είναι αργά
then, know this, it will be late for us

Τάξε μου, τάξε μου
promise me promise me
και θα μάθεις τι θα κάνω
and you will learn what i will do
Τάξε μου, τάξε μου
promise me promise me
τώρα που εγώ σε χάνω
now that i am losing you

Aλλη αγάπη θα βρω να σε ξεχάσω
i will find another love to forget about you
θα γιορτάσω αυτό τον χωρισμό
i will celebrate this separation
θα γλεντήσω και θα σε ξεπεράσω
i will go out to have fun and i will get over you
να σε βγάλω απ' το μυαλό
to get you out of my mind
Aλλη αγάπη θα βρω να σε ξεχάσω
i will find another love to forget about you
θα γιορτάσω που δεν με αγαπάς
i will celebrate the fact you dont love me
αφού θέλεις να βλέπεις κάποιον άλλο
since you would like to see someone else
είσαι ελεύθερή να πας
you are free to go

Τάξε μου, τάξε μου
promise me promise me
και θα μάθεις τι θα κάνω
and you will learn what i will do
Τάξε μου, τάξε μου
promise me promise me
τώρα που εγώ σε χάνω
now that i am losing you

One of my fav (besides cran and dol ) is a dutch one...
Its called "op straat" (on the street) from Guus meeuwis

you can hear it here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O71_ktQJawA

Zie je daar die oude man 
(do you see the old man over there)
graaiend in een vuilnisbak
 (grabbing in a refuse bag)
zoekend naar iets bruikbaars
(searching something he can use)
voor in zijn oude plastic zak 
(for in his old plastic bag)
net iets teveel meegemaakt 
(went throught too much)
waardoor hij dakloos is geraakt 
(that’s why is homeless)
praat in zichzelf
(talking to hisself)
over hoe het vroeger was 
(about the old times)

Refrein
En dan zeg jij
 (and then you say)
dat je eenzaam bent 
(that you are lonely)
omdat het even tegen zit
( because its not going well for a while)
loop even met me door de stad 
(walk with me throught the city)
en kijk wat er gebeurt op straat
(and see what’s happening on the street)
dan zal je zien
(then you’ll see)
dat het met jou zo slecht niet gaat
(it’s not going that bad with yourself)

Verse
Zie je daar dat meisje 
(do you see the girl overthere)
ze is net zeventien 
(she is just 17)
heeft nu al zo`n tien jaar
(she has already 10 years)
haar ouders niet gezien 
(not seen her parents)
muurtje om zich heen gebouwd
(build a wall around herself)
omdat ze niemand meer vertrouwt 
(because she doesn’t trust anyone anymore)
vraag je haar wat liefde is
(ask her about love)
dan noemt ze jou de prijs
(then she says you’re a price –trophy-)

Refrein

Verse
Zie je daar die oude vrouw
( do you see the old lady there)
die rustig voor de regen schuilt
( who hide for for the rain)
deze bui is minder 
(this rain is less)
dan de tranen die ze heeft gehuild
(then the tears she cried)
die vroeger een gezin bezat
( earlier she had a family)
maar later klap op klap gehad 
(but later she hit on hit)
nu sjouwt ze haar verleden
(now she carries her past)
in een zelfgemaakte tas 
(in a selfmade bag)

Refrein

Verse
Zie je daar die jongeman 
(do you see the young man)
hij is bijna al zijn tanden kwijt 
(he lost almost all his teeth)
hij beet zich stuk 
(he holds on)
op het vergif van deze tijd
 (to the poison –drugs- from this time)
elk uur een marteling 
(every hour a torture)
altijd zoekend naar één ding
(always looking for one thing)
kruipt eens per dag door het oog van de naald 
(sneaks one time a day through the eye of the needle)

Refrein

I'm trying to sing both...you'll laugh so hard...
I challenge you to sing one in spanish!   
I like this one, it's from a local band called "Cuarteto de Nos", the song it's kinda funny "Ya no se que hacer conmigo" (i don't know what to do with myself )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CyPixDcNzk

Ya tuve que ir obligado a misa, ya toqué en el piano "Para Elisa"
ya aprendí a falsear mi sonrisa, ya caminé por la cornisa
I had to go forced to church, I play on the piano "Fur Elise"
I learned to distort my smile, I walked by the cornice


ya cambié de lugar mi cama, ya hice comedia, ya hice drama
fui concreto y me fui por las ramas, ya me hice el bueno y tuve mala fama
I changed my bed of place, I did comedy, I did drama
I was focused and I went around the bushes, I play good and I had bad name


ya fui ético y fui errático, ya fui escéptico y fui fanático
ya fui abúlico y fui metódico, ya fui púdico fui caótico
I became ethical and I was erratic, I was skeptical and I was fanatical
I became apathetic and I was methodical, I was puritan i was chaotical


ya leí Arthur Conan Doyle, ya me pasé de nafta a gasoil
ya leí a Breton y a Molière, ya dormí en colchón y en sommier
I read Arthur Conan Doyle, I changed petrol to diesel
I read a Breton and Molière, I slept on mattresses and in sommier


ya me cambié el pelo de color, ya estuve en contra y estuve a favor
lo que me daba placer ahora me da dolor, ya estuve al otro lado del mostrador
I changed my hair color, I was against it and I was in favor
What gave me pleasure now gives me pain, I was on the other side of the desk


y oigo una voz que dice sin razón,
vos siempre cambiando ya no cambias más
y yo estoy cada vez más igual,
ya no sé que hacer conmigo
And I hear a voice that says without reason,
you're always changing but you won't change anymore
And I am increasingly alike,
I just don't know what to do wit myself


ya me ahogué en un vaso de agua, ya planté café en Nicaragua
ya me fui a probar suerte a USA, ya jugué a la ruleta rusa
I drown in a teacup, I harvest coffee in Nicaragua
I went to try luck to USA, I played Russian roulette

ya creí en los marcianos, ya fui ovo-lacto vegetariano, sano
fui quieto y fui gitano, ya estuve tranqui y estuve hasta las manos
I believed in Martians, I became ovo-lacto vegetarian, healthy
I was quiet I was gypsy, I was until the hands

hice un curso de mitología pero de mí los dioses se reían
orfebrería la salvé raspando, y ritmología aquí la estoy aplicando
I did a course of mythology but the gods laughed at me
I almost lose the metalwork course and now i'm applying the rithmology

ya probé, ya fumé, ya tomé, ya dejé, ya firmé, ya viajé, ya pegué, ya sufrí, ya eludí, ya huí, ya asumí, ya me fui, ya volví, ya fingí, ya mentí
I tried, I smoke, I drank, I quit, I signed, I travelled, I paid, I suffered, I avoided, I run away, I assumed, I left, I came back, I fake, I lie

y entre tantas falsedades, muchas de mis mentiras ya son verdades
hice facil las adversidades, y me compliqué en las nimiedades
And among many falsehoods, many of my lies are truths
I made easy adversity, and I complicate myself with trivial things

y oigo una voz que dice con razón
vos siempre cambiando ya no cambias más
y yo estoy cada vez más igual
ya no sé que hacer conmigo
And I hear a voice that says without reason,
you're always changing but you won't change anymore
And I am increasingly alike,
I just don't know what to do wit myself


ya me hice un lifting, me puse un piercing, fui a ver al Dream Team y no hubo feeling
me tatué al Ché en una nalga, arriba de mami para que no se salga
I got a lifting, I got a piercing, I went to see the Dream Team but there wasn't feeling
I got a Che* tattoo in a buttock, above mommy so it won't came out

ya me reí y me importó un bledo, de cosas y gente que ahora me dan miedo
ayuné por causas al pedo, ya me empaché con pollo al spiedo
I laughed and I didn't care about things and people that now give me fear
I fast due meaningless causes, I ate to much chicken

ya fui al psicólogo, fui al teólogo, fui al astrólogo, fui al enólogo
ya fui alcohólico y fui lambeta, ya fui anónimo y ya hice dieta
I went to the psychologist, I was a theologian, I was astrologer, I was oenologist
I became an alcoholic and I was a candy eater, I was anonymous and I was on diet

ya lancé piedras y escupitajos, al lugar donde ahora trabajo
y mi legajo cuenta a destajo, que me porté bien y que armé relajo
I already threw stones and spits to my office
And my record says that I have to behave and don't

y oigo una voz que dice sin razón
vos siempre cambiando ya no cambias más
y yo estoy cada vez más igual
ya no sé que hacer conmigo
And I hear a voice that says without reason,
you're always changing but you won't change anymore
And I am increasingly alike,
I just don't know what to do wit myself


*Ernesto "Che" Guevara

P.S: a very complex translation...sorry! 
It doesn't seem so funny in english 

[sunday]

ok we have spanish ,dutch and I´m not sure which language the first one is ,I think russian ? yet
so let´s have some german     

Cranfandy I like your song very much !

Ich komm an dir nicht weiter - Band : Rosenstolz (my favourite german band )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Eopl5sLey4

unfortunately I can´t translate it 

Ich komm an dir nicht weiter
Komm an dir nicht vorbei
Du bist so weit gegangen
Kann dich kaum noch erkennen

Ich werde jetzt nichts sagen
Bevor ich nicht weiß, was ich
zu sagen hab
Und ich werd so lang schweigen
Bis ich weiß wie's weitergeht

Bleib stehn
Sei ganz still
Bleib kurz stehn
Will dir in die Augen sehn
Wie`s weitergeht
Das weiß ich nicht
Ich brauche dich
Und brauch dich nicht
Kann nur mit dir
Kann ohne dich
Kann ohne dich
Nicht weitergehn
Schwer zu verstehn
Wie's weitergeht
Ich brauche dich
Und kann doch nicht
Du hast so oft gelogen
Und ich hab dich hintergangen
Wir haben uns weichgeredet
Doch meistens gar nichts gesagt

Wir haben uns blind verstanden
Doch nie was gesehn
Wir haben uns eingeredet
Irgendwie wird`s schon gehn

Bleib stehn
Sei ganz still
Ich komm an dir nicht weiter
Ich komm an dir nicht weiter
Komm an dir nicht vorbei

[Oraj]

[aguafiestas]

Nice songs everyone, interesting lyrics and beautiful songs...

Well, the next lyric has a very powerful and polictical/social message, a call for peace and justice. Victor Jara is one of the most important chilean singers and songwriters. He was tortured and killed during the horrible Pinochet's dictatorship, just because he thought different.

You can watch him singing live this song here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONIZuiUKPII

. At the beginning he says:


"This is song is called 'I remember you Amanda' and it's about the love of two workers, two workers from now, those that you see on the streets and sometimes you don't notice what exists in the soul of two workers from any factory, in any city, in any place of our continent"


Te recuerdo Amanda / I Remember You Amanda

Te recuerdo Amanda
I remember you Amanda

the wet street
la calle mojada

corriendo a la fábrica
running to the factory

donde trabajaba Manuel.
where Manuel worked.

La sonrisa ancha
Your wide smile,

la lluvia en el pelo
the rain in your hair

no importaba nada
nothing else mattered,

ibas a encontrarte con él
con él, con él, con él
you were going to meet him

 
son cinco minutos
Only five minutes

la vida es eterna
life is eternal

en cinco minutos
in five minutes

suena la sirena
the siren sounds

de vuelta al trabajo
to go back to work

y tú caminando
and as you walk

lo iluminas todo
you light up everything

los cinco minutos
those five minutes

te hacen florecer.
have made you flower.

Te recuerdo Amanda
I remember you Amanda

la calle mojada
the wet street

corriendo a la fábrica
running to the factory

donde trabajaba Manuel.
where Manuel worked.

La sonrisa ancha
Your wide smile

la lluvia en el pelo
the rain in your hair

no importaba nada
nothing else mattered

ibas a encontrarte con él
con él, con él, con él
you were going to meet him
 
que partió a la sierra
he took to the mountains

que nunca hizo daño
he who had never hurt anyone

que partió a la sierra
he took to the mountains

y en cinco minutos
and in five minutes

quedó destrozado
it was all destroyed

suena la sirena
the siren sounds

de vuelta al trabajo
time to go back to work

muchos no volvieron
many will not return

tampoco Manuel.
neither Manuel.

Te recuerdo Amanda
I remember you Amanda

la calle mojada
the wet street

corriendo a la fábrica
running to the factory

donde trabajaba Manuel.
where Manuel worked.

Ok... I will give it a try.. (please german people don't laugh at me )
I always had low grades for german
Some lines won't make any sense because it will be translated word by word lol

Ich komm an dir nicht weiter
I don't go further on with you (?)
Komm an dir nicht vorbei
Don't pass you
Du bist so weit gegangen
You are so...
Kann dich kaum noch erkennen
can you ?? not realise
Ich werde jetzt nichts sagen
I shall no say anything
Bevor ich nicht weiß, was ich
Before I don't know, what I
zu sagen hab
have to say
Und ich werd so lang schweigen
and I become so silence (so long)
Bis ich weiß wie's weitergeht
untill I know how it's going on

Bleib stehn
stay -standing-
Sei ganz still
be quiet (??)
Bleib kurz stehn
stay -standing- short
Will dir in die Augen sehn
Wanna look in your eyes
Wie`s weitergeht
How it's going on
Das weiß ich nicht
That I don't know
Ich brauche dich
I need you
Und brauch dich nicht
I don't need you
Kann nur mit dir
Can't be with you
Kann ohne dich
Can be without you
Kann ohne dich
Can be without you
Nicht weitergehn
don't go on
Schwer zu verstehn
terrible to understand
Wie's weitergeht
how its going on
Ich brauche dich
I use you
Und kann doch nicht
and can't anyhow (??)
Du hast so oft gelogen
You have lied so much
Und ich hab dich hintergangen
and I have cheated you
Wir haben uns weichgeredet
we have us.....
Doch meistens gar nichts gesagt
often  didn't say anything
Wir haben uns blind verstanden
we have blind us...?
Doch nie was gesehn
anyhow not seenWir haben uns eingeredet
Irgendwie wird`s schon gehn
anyhow we go on

Bleib stehn
Stay -standing-
Sei ganz still
be quiet
Ich komm an dir nicht weiter
I don't come to you (further)
Ich komm an dir nicht weiter
I don't come to you (further)
Komm an dir nicht vorbei
don't come over you


haha finally done, it probably sucks...
I realised its even harder from german to english, than german to dutch

[Oraj]

oh nice i tried reading and listening some very nice though i'll have to take some more of my free time and concentrate on it better but lol this is my chance to learn something thanks so much for posting those

[Oraj]

this is is a bulgarian song i couldn't find original lyrics only translated, they speak similiar to serbian. Here is a vid

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKv4Qxd6xhU

i can't make much of it to be honest but i'll try writting some words that are known to me

Stay / Ostani (ostani)

Don't ask ,don't ask but you say... ((ne ne pitaj... ((no, no don't ask), ser same) 
say that all lies are only memories. ((... sve laži za spomeni (ser uspomene))
I don't ask when I was drowned in tears
I wasn't saying "go away" I said "stay".
I don't want to perish on the stake alone,
the love suffered up in our hearts.

Refrain:
Stay in a sacred embrace!
Stay!The fate invokes...
Stay!Don't go ,stop...
Stay!Don't say "goodbye"... ((... ne kazvaj zbogom, ser ne govori zbogom))
Stay,I don't want too much... ((... ne iskam mnogo, ser ne tražim mnogo))
Stay,for last...
 
I utter again,again I utter "stay"
I still love ,understand that,don't go away! ((obicham te, ser volim te...))
Who will bring back the two fates together?
А abysm invokes you and splits in two.
I don't want to perish on the stake alone,
the love suffered up in our hearts.

Refrain: x3
Stay in a sacred embrace!
Stay!The fate invokes...
Stay!Don't go ,stop...
Stay!Don't say "goodbye"...
Stay,I don't want too much...
Stay,for last... 

[Oraj]

here is another very nice song, here is a vid karaoke version

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdAh5EP3xps

  and the other official

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdpRa8Qj80I&feature=related

, i used some net translator my edits are in brackets

Я твоя / I (am) yours

Побежали, зазвенели наши ручьи
Застучало моё сердце в ритме воды
Открывались, распускались почки весны
Солнце, выходи, нам теплом свети

They broke into a run, began to ring our streams
it knocked (beated) my heart in the rhythm of water
they were opened (revealed), bloomed the blossoms of spring
the sun, leave (come), to us warmnes shine

Сбросили с себя одежды вьюжной зимы
Наряжались в платья новой, красной весны
Зелены деревья, снова ночь коротка
Ранняя заря разбуди меня

Dropped from themselves the clothing of [vyuzhnoy this is maybe vlažnoj or wet but not very likely] winter
they were appointed into the dresses of new, beautiful spring
green trees, again night was short
early dawn wake me

Припев/Refrain:
Ты беги, беги найди меня, где те края
Радуга укажет, где я буду ждать тебя на-на-на
Ты подойди ближе, ближе, я прошепчу еле слышно
"Я твоя..."

You run, run find me, where those of edge (where you by or where is end)
rainbow will indicate, where I will wait you on-on- on
you approach nearer, nearer, I will whisper hardly audibly
" I yours… "

Потеплело, разгорелось сердце огнём
Закружилась голова от мыслей о нём
Сладостной тоской томится моя душа
Расцвела земля, к нам весна пришла

It grew warm (maybe lit), burnt (fueled) the heart with fire
it turned itself head from the thoughts about it
by sweet melancholy it is wearied my soul
bloomed the earth, to us the spring arrived

Припев/Refrain x4

[cranfandy]

Hi! I just listened to a song...that i forgot i love that much! 
Maybe you remember the band. They are from Scotland and they name is "Texas".
This song was a big hit back in...1997!
Here are the lyrics...it's a very simple song, but lovely! The chorus is great!

"Say What You Want"

Twenty seconds on the back time
I feel you're on the run
Never lived too long to make right
I see you're doing fine

And when I get that feeling
I can no longer slide
I can no longer run
Ah no no
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer hide
For it's no longer fun
Ah no no

Well, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I'll feel the same
About you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same
About you

What I am is what you want of me
Yeh, now that I'm not there
I took the tables away from you
It's turned that I don't care

And when I get that feeling
I can no longer slide
I can no longer run
Ah no no
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer hide
For it's no longer fun
Ah no no

Well, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I'll feel the same
About you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same
About you

Well, you can say what you want
But that won't change my mind
I'll feel the same
About you
And you can tell me your reasons
But that won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same
About you

I've said goodnight
Try to sleep tight
Ah just dream of me
Go close your eyes
Cause I've closed mine
The sun will shine from time to time
Oh, when you dream of me, yeh

Well, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I'll feel the same
About you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same
About you

[Oraj]

heh i have heard the song like million times and haven't ever watched the vid.

My fav song and the lyrics

Black velvet
   
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

{Chorus:}
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please

Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl
"Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

{repeat Chorus}

Every word of every song that he sang was for you
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon, what could
you do?

{Solo}

{repeat Chorus, x2}

If you please, if you please, if you please

[Zudeek]

Hehehe I like this song (Black Velvet) for someone making a strip-tease 

The music is very sexy...

[Oraj]

oh lol yea it is cool, i just like the atmosphere of the song it is somehow western but very cool which i like
