              Andante, Andante


                   Take it easy with me, please
                   Touch me gently like a summer evening breeze
                   Take your time, make it slow
                   Andante, Andante
                   Just let the feeling grow

                   Make your fingers soft and light
                   Let your body be the velvet of the night
                   Touch my soul, you know how
                   Andante, Andante
                   Go slowly with me now

                   I'm your music
                     (I am your music and I am your song)
                   I'm your song
                     (I am your music and I am your song)
                   Play me time and time again and make me strong
                     (Play me again 'cause you're making me strong)
                   Make me sing, make me sound
                     (You make me sing and you make me...)
                   Andante, Andante
                   Tread lightly on my ground
                   Andante, Andante
                   Oh please don't let me down

                   There's a shimmer in your eyes
                   Like the feeling of a thousand butterflies
                   Please don't talk, go on, play
                   Andante, Andante
                   And let me float away

                   I'm your music
                     (I am your music and I am your song)
                   I'm your song
                     (I am your music and I am your song)
                   Play me time and time again and make me strong
                     (Play me again 'cause you're making me strong)
                   Make me sing, make me sound
                     (You make me sing and you make me...)
                   Andante, Andante
                   Tread lightly on my ground
                   Andante, Andante
                   Oh please don't let me down

                   Make me sing, make me sound
                     (You make me sing and you make me...)
                   Andante, Andante
                   Tread lightly on my ground
                   Andante, Andante
                   Oh please don't let me down
                   Andante, Andante
                   Oh please don't let me down...

              Chiquitita


                   Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong
                   You're enchained by your own sorrow
                   In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
                   How I hate to see you like this
                   Where is no way you can deny it
                   I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet

                   Chiquitita, tell me the truth
                   I'm a shoulder you can cry on
                   Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on
                   You were always sure of yourself
                   Now I see you've broken a feather
                   I hope we can patch it up together
                   
                   Chiquitita, you and I know
                   How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
                   You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
                   You will have no time for grieving
                   Chiquitita, you and I cry
                   But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
                   Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
                   Sing a new song, Chiquitita
                   Try once more like you did before
                   Sing a new song, Chiquitita
                   
                   So the walls came tumbling down
                   And your love's a blown out candle
                   All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
                   Chiquitita, tell me the truth
                   There is no way you can deny it
                   I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet
                   
                   Chiquitita, you and I know
                   How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
                   You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
                   You will have no time for grieving
                   Chiquitita, you and I cry
                   But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
                   Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
                   Sing a new song, Chiquitita
                   Try once more like you did before
                   Sing a new song, Chiquitita
                   Try once more like you did before
                   Sing a new song, Chiquitita

              Dancing Queen


                   You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
                   See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen
                  
                   Friday night and the lights are low
                   Looking out for the place to go
                   Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
                   You come in to look for a King
                   Anybody could be that guy
                   Night is young and the music's high
                   With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
                   You're in the mood for a dance
                   And when you get the chance...
                   
                   You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
                   Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
                   You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
                   See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen
                   
                   You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
                   Leave them burning and then you're gone
                   Looking out for another, anyone will do
                   You're in the mood for a dance
                   And when you get the chance...
                   
                   You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
                   Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
                   You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
                   See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen

              Eagle


                   They came flying from far away, now I'm under their spell
                   I love hearing the stories that they tell
                   They've seen places beyond my land and they've found new horizons
                   They speak strangely but I understand
                   And I dream I'm an eagle
                   And I dream I can spread my wings
                    
                   Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky
                   I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
                   High, high, what a feeling to fly
                   Over mountains and forests and seas
                   And to go anywhere that I please
                   
                   As all good friends we talk all night, and we fly wing to wing
                   I have questions and they know everything
                   There's no limit to what I feel, we climb higher and higher
                   Am I dreaming or is it all real?
                   Is it true I'm an eagle?
                   Is it true I can spread my wings?
                   
                   Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky
                     (I'm an eagle)
                   I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
                   High, high, what a feeling to fly
                     (What a feeling)
                   Over mountains and forests and seas
                   And to go anywhere that I please
                   
                   And I dream I'm an eagle
                   And I dream I can spread my wings
                    
                   Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky
                     (I'm an eagle) 
                   I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
                   High, high, what a feeling to fly
                     (What a feeling) 
                   Over mountains and forests and seas
                   High, high, I'm a bird in the sky
                     (I'm an eagle)
                   I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
                   High, high, what a feeling to fly
                     (What a feeling) 
                   Over mountains and forests and seas
                   And to go anywhere that I please

                   "The Album" - 1977





                                                                          к началу страницы
              Fernando


                   Can you hear the drums Fernando?
                   I remember long ago another starry night like this
                   In the firelight Fernando
                   You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
                   I could hear the distant drums
                   And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
                    
                   They were closer now Fernando
                   Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
                   I was so afraid Fernando
                   We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
                   And I'm not ashamed to say
                   The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry
                   
                   There was something in the air that night
                   The stars were bright, Fernando
                   They were shining there for you and me
                   For liberty, Fernando
                   Though I never thought that we could lose
                   There's no regret
                   If I had to do the same again
                   I would, my friend, Fernando
                   
                   Now we're old and grey Fernando
                   And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
                   Can you hear the drums Fernando?
                   Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
                   I can see it in your eyes
                   How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land
                   
                   There was something in the air that night
                   The stars were bright, Fernando
                   They were shining there for you and me
                   For liberty, Fernando
                   Though I never thought that we could lose
                   There's no regret
                   If I had to do the same again
                   I would, my friend, Fernando
                   
                   There was something in the air that night
                   The stars were bright, Fernando
                   They were shining there for you and me
                   For liberty, Fernando
                   Though I never thought that we could lose
                   There's no regret
                   If I had to do the same again
                   I would, my friend, Fernando
                   Yes, if I had to do the same again
                   I would, my friend, Fernando...

              Happy New Year


                   No more champagne
                   And the fireworks are through
                   Here we are, me and you
                   Feeling lost and feeling blue
                   It's the end of the party
                   And the morning seems so grey
                   So unlike yesterday
                   Now's the time for us to say...
                   
                   Happy new year
                   Happy new year
                   May we all have a vision now and then
                   Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
                   Happy new year
                   Happy new year
                   May we all have our hopes, our will to try
                   If we don't we might as well lay down and die
                   You and I
                   
                   Sometimes I see
                   How the brave new world arrives
                   And I see how it thrives
                   In the ashes of our lives
                   Oh yes, man is a fool
                   And he thinks he'll be okay
                   Dragging on, feet of clay
                   Never knowing he's astray
                   Keeps on going anyway...
                   
                   Happy new year
                   Happy new year
                   May we all have a vision now and then
                   Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
                   Happy new year
                   Happy new year
                   May we all have our hopes, our will to try
                   If we don't we might as well lay down and die
                   You and I
                   
                   Seems to me now
                   That the dreams we had before
                   Are all dead, nothing more
                   Than confetti on the floor
                   It's the end of a decade
                   In another ten years time
                   Who can say what we'll find
                   What lies waiting down the line
                   In the end of eighty-nine...
                   
                   Happy new year
                   Happy new year
                   May we all have a vision now and then
                   Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
                   Happy new year
                   Happy new year

                   If we don't we might as well lay down and die
                   You and I

              Head Over Heels


                   I have a very good friend
                   The kind of girl who likes to follow a trend
                   She has a personal style
                   Some people like it, others tend to go wild
                   You hear her voice everywhere
                   Taking the chair
                   She's a leading lady
                   And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going
                    
                   Head over heels
                   Breaking her way
                   Pushing through unknown jungles every day
                   She's a girl with a taste for the world
                     (The world is like a playing-ground where she goes rushing)
                   Head over heels
                   Setting the pace
                   Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace
                   She's extreme, if you know what I mean
                   
                   Her man is one I admire
                   He's so courageous but he's constantly tired
                   Each time when he speaks his mind
                   She pats his head and says, "That's all very fine
                   Exert that will of your own
                   When you're alone
                   Now we'd better hurry"
                   And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going
                   
                   Head over heels
                   Breaking her way
                   Pushing through unknown jungles every day
                   She's a girl with a taste for the world
                     (The world is like a playing-ground where she goes rushing)
                   Head over heels
                   Setting the pace
                   Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace
                   She's extreme, if you know what I mean
                   
                   You hear her voice everywhere
                   Taking the chair
                   She's a leading lady
                   And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going

                   Breaking her way

                   She's extreme, if you know what I mean
                     (She's just one of those who always has to do whatever she please)
                   And she goes
                   Head over heels

              I Have A Dream


                   I have a dream, a song to sing
                   To help me cope with anything
                   If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
                   You can take the future even if you fail
                   I believe in angels
                   Something good in everything I see
                   I believe in angels
                   When I know the time is right for me

                   I have a dream, a fantasy
                   To help me through reality
                   And my destination makes it worth the while
                   Pushing through the darkness still another mile
                   I believe in angels
                   Something good in everything I see
                   I believe in angels

              Money Money Money


                   I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
                   Ain't it sad
                   And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
                   That's too bad
                   In my dreams I have a plan
                   If I got me a wealthy man
                   I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball...
                   
                   Money, money, money
                   Must be funny
                   In the rich man's world
                   Money, money, money
                   Always sunny
                   In the rich man's world
                   Aha-ahaaa
                   All the things I could do
                   If I had a little money
                   It's a rich man's world
                   
                   A man like that is hard to find but I can't get him off my mind
                   Ain't it sad
                   And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn't fancy me
                   That's too bad
                   So I must leave, I'll have to go
                   To Las Vegas or Monaco
                   And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same...

              Nina, Pretty Ballerina
                   
                   
                   Every day in the morning on her way to the office
                   You can see as she catches a train
                   Just a face among a million faces
                   Just another woman with no name
                   Not the girl you'd remember but she's still something special
                   If you knew her I am sure you'd agree
                   'Cause I know she's got a little secret
                   Friday evening she turns out to be...
                   
                   Nina, pretty ballerina, now she is the queen of the dancing floor
                   This is the moment she's waited for
                   Just like Cinderella, just like Cinderella
                   Nina, pretty ballerina, who would ever think she could be this way
                   This is the part that she likes to play
                   But she knows the fun would go away
                   If she would play it every day
                   
                   So she's back every morning to her work at the office
                   And another week to live in a dream
                   And another row of early mornings
                   In an almost never-ending stream
                   She don't talk very often, kind of shy and uncertain
                   Everybody seems to think she's a bore
                   But they wouldn't know her little secret
                   What her Friday night would have in store...

              One Of Us


                   They passed me by, all of those great romances
                   You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances
                   My picture clear, everything seemed so easy
                   And so I dealt you the blow
                   One of us had to go
                   Now it's different, I want you to know
                    
                   One of us is crying
                   One of us is lying
                   In her lonely bed
                   Staring at the ceiling
                   Wishing she was somewhere else instead
                   One of us is lonely
                   One of us is only
                   Waiting for a call
                   Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
                   Wishing she had never left at all
                   
                   I saw myself as a concealed attraction
                   I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action
                   Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving
                   That's how I started the show
                   One of us had to go
                   Now I've changed and I want you to know
                   
                   One of us is crying

                   Wishing she had never left at all
                   Never left at all
                   
                   Staring at the ceiling

                   Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find
                   I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind
                   Whatever happened to our love?
                   I wish I understood
                   It used to be so nice, it used to be so good
                   
                   So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
                   S. O. S.
                   The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
                   S. O. S.
                   When you're gone
                   How can I even try to go on?
                   When you're gone
                   Though I try how can I carry on?
                   
                   You seem so far away though you are standing near
                   You made me feel alive, but something died I fear
                   I really tried to make it out
                   I wish I understood
                   What happened to our love, it used to be so good
                    
                   So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
                   S. O. S.
                   The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
                   S. O. S.
                   When you're gone
                   How can I even try to go on?
                   When you're gone
                   Though I try how can I carry on?

                   I was sick and tired of everything
                   When I called you last night from Glasgow
                   All I do is eat and sleep and sing
                   Wishing every show was the last show
                     (Wishing every show was the last show)
                   So imagine I was glad to hear you're coming

                   Suddenly I feel all right
                     (And suddenly it's gonna be)
                   And it's gonna be so different
                   When I'm on the stage tonight
                   
                   Tonight the

                   Facing twenty thousand of your friends
                   How can anyone be so lonely
                   Part of a success that never ends
                   Still I'm thinking about you only
                     (Still I'm thinking about you only)
                   There are moments when I think I'm going crazy

                   But it's gonna be alright

              Thank You For The Music


                   I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore
                   If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
                   But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
                   'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
                   I'm so grateful and proud
                   All I want is to sing it out loud
                   
                   So I say
                   Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
                   Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
                   Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
                   What would life be?
                   Without a song or a dance what are we?
                   So I say thank you for the music
                   For giving it to me
                   
                   Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
                   She says I began to sing long before I could talk
                   And I've often wondered, how did it all start?
                   Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
                   Like a melody can?
                   Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan
                   
                   So I say
                   Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
                   Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
                   Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
                   What would life be?
                   Without a song or a dance what are we?
                   So I say thank you for the music
                   For giving it to me
                   
                   I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
                   I wanna sing it out to everybody
                   What a joy, what a life, what a chance!
                   
                   So I say
                   Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
                   Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
                   Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
                   What would life be?
                   Without a song or a dance what are we?
                   So I say thank you for the music
                   For giving it to me

              The Piper


                   They came from the hills
                   And they came from the valleys and the plains
                   They struggled in the cold
                   In the heat and the snow and in the rain
                   Came to hear him play
                   Play their minds away
                    
                   We're all following a strange melody
                   We're all summoned by a tune
                   We're following the piper
                   And we dance beneath the moon...
                   We're following the piper
                   And we dance beneath the moon for him
                   And we dance beneath the moon
                   
                   They came from the south
                   From the west and the north and from the east
                   They waited for the man
                   Like a parish is waiting for the priest
                   Longed to hear him play
                   Play their minds away
                   
                   We're all following a strange melody
                   We're all summoned by a tune
                   We're following the piper
                   And we dance beneath the moon...
                   We're following the piper
                   And we dance beneath the moon for him
                   And we dance beneath the moon
                   
                   He gave them a dream
                   He seduced everybody in the land
                   The fire in his eyes
                   And the fear was a weapon in his hand
                   So they let him play
                   Play their minds away
                   
                   We're all following a strange melody
                   We're all summoned by a tune
                   We're following the piper
                   And we dance beneath the moon...
                   We're following the piper
                   And we dance beneath the moon for him
                   And we dance beneath the moon

              The Winner Takes It All


                   I don't wanna talk
                   About the things we've gone through
                   Though it's hurting me
                   Now it's history
                   I've played all my cards
                   And that's what you've done too
                   Nothing more to say
                   No more ace to play
                   
                   The winner takes it all
                   The loser standing small
                   Beside the victory
                   That's her destiny
                   
                   I was in your arms
                   Thinking I belonged there
                   I figured it made sense
                   Building me a fence
                   Building me a home
                   Thinking I'd be strong there
                   But I was a fool
                   Playing by the rules
                   
                   The gods may throw a dice
                   Their minds as cold as ice
                   And someone way down here
                   Loses someone dear
                   The winner takes it all
                   The loser has to fall
                   It's simple and it's plain
                   Why should I complain.
                   
                   But tell me does she kiss
                   Like I used to kiss you?
                   Does it feel the same
                   When she calls your name?
                   Somewhere deep inside
                   You must know I miss you
                   But what can I say
                   Rules must be obeyed
                   
                   The judges will decide
                   The likes of me abide
                   Spectators of the show
                   Always staying low
                   The game is on again
                   A lover or a friend
                   A big thing or a small
                   The winner takes it all
                   
                   I don't wanna talk
                   If it makes you feel sad
                   And I understand
                   You've come to shake my hand
                   I apologize
                   If it makes you feel bad
                   Seeing me so tense
                   No self-confidence
                   But you see
                   The winner takes it all
                   The winner takes it all...

              When I Kissed The Teacher


                   Everybody screamed when I kissed the teacher
                   And they must have thought they dreamed when I kissed the teacher
                   All my friends at school
                   They had never seen the teacher blush, he looked like a fool
                   Nearly petrified 'cos he was taken by surprise
                   When I kissed the teacher
                   Couldn't quite believe his eyes, when I kissed the teacher
                   My whole class went wild
                   As I held my breath, the world stood still, but then he just smiled
                   I was in the seventh heaven when I kissed the teacher
                    
                   One of these days
                   Gonna tell him I dream of him every night
                   One of these days
                   Gonna show him I care, gonna teach him a lesson alright
                   
                   I was in a trance when I kissed the teacher
                   Suddenly I took the chance when I kissed the teacher
                   Leaning over me, he was trying to explain the laws of geometry
                   And I couldn't help it, I just had to kiss the teacher
                   
                   One of these days
                   Gonna tell him I dream of him every night
                   One of these days
                   Gonna show him I care, gonna teach him a lesson alright
                   
                   What a crazy day, when I kissed the teacher
                   All my sense had flown away when I kissed the teacher
                   My whole class went wild
                   As I held my breath, the world stood still, but then he just smiled
                   I was in the seventh heaven when I kissed the teacher
                     (I wanna hug, hug, hug him)
                   When I kissed the teacher
                     (I wanna hug, hug him)
                   When I kissed the teacher
                     (I wanna hug, hug, hug him)
                   When I kissed the teacher
                     (I wanna hug, hug him)
