Lyrics and songs

[france-eesti]

Hi there!
This morning while doing my step dance session with music I thought of something - it may be cheesy and stupid but it made me laugh so I thought, why not give it a try?
The idea's to give a word and find, in any language, a piece of lyrics or a title that contains this word.
For example:

beer

A sör és a bor a legjobb orvos
(Ska Pécs, Figyelj rám)

Embolden the word in the sentence and input a flag (of at least mention which language it is)
Give the name of the song and the band (no need to input the youtube link, except if you really love the song)
Right, I'll start:

baby

Comme, comme, bébé comme la vie, passe vite avant qu'on ait compris.
(France Gall, bébé comme la vie)

tree

[h34]

tree


Я знаю - моё дерево не проживёт и недели …
Ya znayu - moyo derevo ne prozhivyot i nedeli
(Kино - Я посадил дерево)
(Kino - Ya posadil derevo)

autumn

Tout ce que la vie nous donne
Aujourd'hui je l'ai perdu
Par ce rendez-vous d'automne
Où tu n'es jamais venu

This might be lazy and obvious but I can't resist

Joe le taxi
Y va pas partout
Y marche pas au soda
Son saxo jaune

To be honest, I also thought of "Joe le taxi" when I wrote "taxi"

guitar

Acoustic guitar
If you think I play hard
Well, you could have belonged to Steve Earle
Or Charo or GWAR
I could sell you tomorrow
So bring me back my girl

[h34]

tomorrow

Завтра
Где лечат манерой дыры кармы

Где soldier устал от войны
Завтра
Где видим сны, что мир един
и что там будет впереди
Закрой глаза*, чтобы проснуться
Завтра
…

(TumaniYo - Завтра)

Ils s'en vont amoureux sans peur du lendemain

All the umbrellas in London couldn't stop this rain
And all the dope in New York couldn't kill this pain
And all the money in Tokyo couldn't make me stay

Standing alone on the parking place
Waiting for someone to stop the race

Hiding in corners of balloons

*burn

[Prantsis]

stanno bruciando gli occhi
e prosciugando gli animi
e dimezzando le speranze
e annullando l'arte
ci stanno uccidendo perché senza far niente
si pretende che succedano cose

Carolina Da Siena - Ci stanno uccidendo

kill

Könnten Blicken töten
Wird man flöten
Krieg muss man schwänzen
Spiel ohne Grenzen
