comparatives with Didapages Collège Marc Chagall
Free as a bird
It’s the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
Home, home and dry
Like a homing bird I’ll fly
As a bird on wings
Whatever happened to
The life that we once knew?
Can we really live without each other?
Where did we lose the touch
That seemed to mean so much?
It always made me feel so…
Free as a bird
Like the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
Home, home and dry
Like a homing bird I’ll fly
As a bird on wings
Whatever happened to
The life that we once knew?
Always made me feel so free
Ah…
Ah…
Ah…
Free as a bird
It’s the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
Free as a bird
Free as a bird
Oooooo
Free…

to give it all up to be with you: suggestion de traduction très imagée?
I’d give it all up to be with you
No gold worth digging for
Without your golden love
No treasure rich enough
To be without your love
No sorrow ————— —————-
To be away from you
No distance —————– —————–
A night not spent with you
No diamond —————- ————
The light within your eyes
No star I gaze at
————— in these skies
No sadness —————– ————–
This longing for you
I’d give it all up
To be with you
This night of darkness
I lay upon my bed
All alone and lonely
Remembering words you said
No goal worth striving for
Without your golden smiles
Never again we’ ll part
No more the lonely miles
No gold worth digging for
Without your golden love
No treasure rich enough
To be without your love
No sorrow deeper than
To be away from you
No distance farther than
A night not spent with you
No diamond brighter than
The light within your eyes
No star I gaze at
Brighter in these skies
No sadness deeper than
This longing for you
I`d give it all up
To be with you
This night of darkness
I lay upon my bed
All alone and lonely
Remembering words you said
No goal worth striving for
Without your golden smiles
Never again we`ll part
No more the lonely miles
