Ταξίδεψέ με ..

"Τα τραγούδια των ανθρώπων .. " γράφει κάπου ο Χικμέτ
"...πιο βαριά από ελπίδα ,
πιο λυπημένα ,
πιο διαρκή .. "

Κι εγώ απόψε θέλω εδώ ,
σ ένα τραγούδι,
σ ένα ταξίδι .. μακρύ κι απρόσμενο , 

δίχως πυξίδα .. 


για οπουδήποτε .. 

Στίχοι: Βασ. Παπαδόπουλος

Μουσική: Δημ. Κορδατζής

Εκτέλεση: Νότης Σφακιανάκης

Ταξίδεψέ με σ' ένα ταξίδι
χωρίς πυξίδα για οπουδήποτε
μαζί σου να 'μαι και δε φοβάμαι
σου λέω τίποτε

Άλλοι κοιτούν τον ουρανό και χάνονται
εγώ δεν έμαθα ποτέ να δραπετεύω
άλλοι κοιτούν τον ουρανό και χάνονται
εγώ κοιτώ τα μάτια σου και ταξιδεύω

Ταξίδεψέ με σ' ένα ταξίδι
που κάνουν λίγοι μακρύ κι απρόσμενο
κι αυτό το βράδυ και το άλλο βράδυ
και το επόμενο

Είναι που όλα ήρθαν αργά..

Διάφανα Κρίνα 

Στίχοι  Παντ. Ροδοστόγλου

Μουσική   Διάφ. Κρίνα 

Λυπάμαι που δεν έγινα μια θάλασσα για σένα
Να με κοιτάς νοσταλγικά με τα μαλλιά βρεγμένα
Λυπάμαι που δεν έγινα Σαχάρα να ουρλιάζεις
Κάτω από τ' άστρα από χαρά να κλαίς, ν' ανατριχιάζεις
Λυπάμαι που δεν έγινα βράχος να ξαποστάσεις
Βότσαλο αψηλάφητο να σκύψεις να το πιάσεις.

Είναι που όλα ήρθαν αργά και πώς να συνηθίσω
Την άπειρή σου ομορφιά, τον τρυφερό σου ίσκιο
Είναι που όλα ήρθαν αργά και πώς να συνηθίσω
Την άπειρή σου ομορφιά μαράθηκα πριν ζήσω.

Πολλούς θανάτους έζησα μα σαν κι αυτόν για σένα
Πολλούς θανάτους έζησα μα σαν κι αυτόν κανένα...

As Time Goes By ..( play it Sam..)

[This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like fourth dimension.

Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory.
So we must get down to earth at times
Relax relieve the tension

And no matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed.]

You must remember this
A kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh.
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.

And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you."
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date.
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate.
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny.

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die.
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.

Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.

Cry me a river

                                                                                                               Ella Fitzgerald

Now you say you’re lonely
You cry the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Now you say you’re sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember, all that you said?
You told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and

Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river, over you

You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember, all that you said?
You told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and

Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do
Come on and cry, cry, cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried, I cried, I cried a river over you

If my pillow talk, imagine what it would have said
Could it be a river of tears I cried instead?
Well you can cry me a river
Go ahead and cry me a river
‘Cause I cried, I cried a river over you
How I cried a river over you

A Cry For Love

The Black Heart Procession 

Love not our love
love isn't supposed to be this way
love is a poison ring
and love has poured you drinks
now love waits for you to sleep
don't lend it to a friend
'cause you may never see that friend again
don't bother with a cover 'cause love can
pick out the fakes
but that's not our love
not our love
this crime of love
love isn't supposed to be this way
love will sting and love will burn
love will steal all you've learned
yes it will but not our love
sometimes in your back
and sometimes in your heart
it's a double edged sword
don't you bother with a cover
'cause in a crowd love can pick out the fakes
but that's not our love
not our love
(and the girls sing along) do you hear this cry for
love
do you see this crime of love
love waits for you to sleep
don't lend it to a friend
you can easily pick out the fakes
don't you see this crime of love
this crime of love holds you here
sting burn steal learn
don't turn your back on my heart
you can easily pick out the fakes

Cry Baby

I know she told you,
I know she told you that she loved you
Much more than I do,
But I know she left you,
And you swear that you just don't know why,
Well, you know that I'll always be round
If you ever want me
Come on and cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, yeah,
Oh, like you always seem to do.

Don't you know,
Honey, nobody ever gonna love you
The way I try to do.
Who'll be willing to take your pain
And all your heartache, too ?
Honey, I swear I'll always, I'll always be around
If you ever want me
Come on and cry, cry baby, cry baby yeah, cry baby, yeah,
Oh daddy, welcome back home, yeah.

I know when you're sharp and round, babe,
Seems like the grass always looks greener,
When you're looking over there in somebody else's back-yard
So I know what you're tryin' to tell me
When you say, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama,
I've gotta go out shopping for my life
I've gotta find my, my own true third eye,
Hare Krishna identity out there on the road there.

And although it may be comfortable here
Sleeping in all your nice bed with all those satin sheets
And all that nice fur, eatin' all that chicken
Gettin' stoned, havin' a good time I have to go and rough it
I have to go to Africa
Or I have to go to Omaha, or some place like that,
I have to find myself, you know what I mean ?
So there's this stud, man, walkin' around the fuckin' highways of America with a pack on his back
Lookin' for his identity, right ?

Well, I want to say baby don't you know you left your mama here all alone ?
You left your good lovin' mama right at home
And that should be identity enough for any man, ha ha ha!
So I said baby, I know that you're gonna come home to me some day
And I'll be able to tell when you walk in my front door
I do, I just do believe that I can be lookin' in your eyes
So Lord, you finally realize
So you can put your head on my shoulder, babe,
'Cause I know you got some more tears to share,
Come on, let it go,
So come on, come on, come on, come on, come on,
Honey, cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry,

Honey when you got some more tears to shed
Honey I won't let a man stand in your way, babe,
You have to snap all your fear from the door house away dear
You just gotta let it go, baby, come on,
Honey cry, oh, cry to me baby.

Is it a hit or a miss ?               

Janis Joplin "cry baby" 

"Adagio"

"Adagio"

I don't know where to find you
I don't know how to reach you
I hear your voice in the wind
I feel you under my skin
Within my heart and my soul
I wait for you
Adagio

All of these nights without you
All of my dreams surround you
I see and I touch your face
I fall into your embrace
When the time is right I know
You'll be in my arms
Adagio

I close my eyes and I find a way
No need for me to pray
I've walked so far
I've fought so hard
Nothing more to explain
I know all that remains
Is a piano that plays
If you know where to find me
If you know how to reach me
Before this light fades away
Before I run out of faith
Be the only man to say
That you'll hear my heart
That you'll give your life
Forever you'll stay
Don't let this light fade away
Don't let me run out of faith
Be the only man to say
That you believe, make me believe
You won't let go
Adagio

Dust in the Wind - Kansas

Dust in the Wind - Kansas

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind.
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind

Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind.

Who Will Take My Dreams Away

I can't give you all my dreams
Nor the life I live.
You and I know what friendship means,
That's all we got to give.

Who will take your dreams away
Takes your soul another day.
What can never be lost is gone,
It's stolen in a way.

Please, don't stand too close to me,
Can you hear my heart ?
Take my warmth and lean on me
When we're not apart.

Now our mission is complete
And our friends are here. (?)
Evil things brought down by the light,
Life goes on until the end.

Marianne Faithfull - Who Will Take My Dreams Away

Try me..

Ruby Winters  " Try me "

If you really wanna know if I can stand your brand of
love,
Try me.
Why don’t you try me?
If you wanna know if I’m affected by the moon above,
Then try me.
Come on and try me.
Don’t you know my heart feels a strong desire
When I’m thrilled by the warmth of your touch?
Baby, don’t you know my soul’s on fire,
And I need your lovin’ so much.

If you really wanna know if I am longing for your kiss,
Then try me.
Why won’t you try me.
If you think that I’ll get weak in a cozy spot like
this,
Please try me.
I beg you, try me.
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/e/esther-phillips-lyrics/try-me-lyrics.html]
If you’re wondrin’ ‘bout the magic in stars and soft
caresses
There’s only one way to know if it’s right:
Just take me in your arms, baby, and try, try me
tonight.


Don’t you know my heart feels a strong desire
When I’m thrilled by the warmth of your touch?
Baby, don’t you know my soul’s on fire,
And I need your lovin’ so much.
Just take me your arms and try me tonight
I want you to take me in your arms, and come on, and
try me tonight
I beg you, try me, try me, try me, try me tonight.






*και η αυθεντική εκτέλεση από την  Esther Phillips 

A song for you..

I've been so many places
In my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life in stages
With 10,000 people watching

But we're alone now
And I'm singing this song to you

I know your image of me
Is what I hoped to be
I treated you unkindly
But darling, can't you see?
There's no one more important to me
Baby, can't you see through me?

'Cause we're alone now
And I'm singing this song to you

You taught me precious secrets
Of a true love with holding nothing
You came out in front when I was hiding
Now I'm so much better
And if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody
'Cuz my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place
Where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
You' re a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together

We were alone
And I was singing this song to you

We were alone
And I was singing this song to you
We were alone
And I was singing this song to you
We were alone
And I was singing this song
Singing this song to you

Donny Hathaway - A Song For You

Απόψε θέλω να μεθύσω

Στίχοι: Μιχάλης Νικολούδης

Μουσική: Μιχάλης Νικολούδης

Πρώτη εκτέλεση: Γιάννης Χαρούλης

Απόψε θέλω να μεθύσω
Το πιο πικρό να πιω κρασί...
Τον κόσμο πίσω μου ν' αφήσω,
Που τον αφήσαμε μαζί...

Κρασί πικρό από σταφύλι,
κι απ' τη δική σου τη μιλιά...
Να 'χει της κόλασης τα χείλη,
Κι όλα σου να 'χει τα φιλιά...

Να 'χει παράξενο τραγούδι,
Να 'χει παράδεισο και γη...
Απ' το κορμί σου να 'χει χνούδι,
Και τη δική μου την οργή...

Ν' αφήνει μαύρο κατακάθι,
Ν' αφήνει πόνο και χολή...
Πικρό πολύ όσο τα λάθη,
κι όσο σ' αγάπησα πολύ...

Απόψε θέλω να μεθύσω,
και να μη σκέφτομαι γιατί...
Να κοιμηθώ και να ξυπνήσω,
και να 'ναι γύρω μου γιορτή...

I' m a Woman

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah

Everything, everything

Everything gone be alright

Oh, yeah
When I was a little girl,

only twelve years old

I couldn't do nothing to save my dog gone soul

My mama told me the day I was grown

She says, "Sing the blues child, sing it from now on"

I'm a woman, oh, yeah

I'm a woman, I'm a ball of fire

I'm a woman, I can make love to a crocodile

I'm a woman, I can sing the blues

I'm a woman, I can change old to new

Spell W O M A N, oh, yeah

That means I'm grown

I'm a woman, I'm a rushing wind

I'm a woman, I can cut stone with a pin

I'm a woman, I'm a love maker

I'm a woman, you know I'm an earth shaker

I'm a woman, I'm a rushing wind

I'm a woman, I can cut stone with a pin

I'm a woman, I know my stuff

I'm a woman, I ain't never had enough

I'm goin' down yonder, behind the sun

Gonna do some for you, ain't never been done

I'ma hold back the lightning, with the palm of my hand

Shake hands with the devil, make him crawl in the sand

I'm a woman, I'm a rushing wind

I'm a woman, I can cut stone with a pin

I'm a woman, I'm a love maker

I'm a woman, you know I'm an earth shaker

θέλω να σε δω ..

 Στίχοι: Λίνα Νικολακοπούλου

Μουσική: Δημήτρης Παπαδημητρίου

Πρώτη εκτέλεση: Ελευθερία Αρβανιτάκη

Θέλω να σε δω
να μ' αναζητάς
σε κάθε οδό και δω
στα λίγα που ζητάς

Θέλω να σε δω
μ' έρωτα βαρύ
να μην μπορεί κανείς
να διώξει αυτόν το θάνατο

Καμιά φορά
φοράω τα λόγια μιας πληγής
καμιά φορά ξεχνιέμαι αλλιώς
κι απ' όλους κρύβομαι

Τη χαρά μου λες να μη στην κάνω συμφορά
και δε χωράει η ζωή
να μπει στο γλέντι ούτε μια φορά

Θέλω να σε δω
να μ'εκδικηθείς
να πιω νερό κρυφά
εκεί που θα πλυθείς

Θέλω να σε δω
να 'μαστε αγκαλιά
και μία θηλιά γερή
το χθες να κάνει αθάνατο

Φτερά του ανέμου ..

Χρήστος Στιβακτάκης

 από το CD «από χρυσάφι και φωτιά»  

Αχι να μπο..

να μπόρουνε φτερά

Να κάμω να ..

Να κάμω να πετάξω

Κι όπου γυρέ

γυρέψει η πεθυμιά

Κι ο πόθος μου να φτάξω

Μέσα στα βα

Στα βάθη τα ουρανού

Σ όλης  της γης

Σ όλης της γης τα πλάτη

Να μην αφη

Να μην αφήσω

δρόμο και μονοπάτι

Να ξεπερνώ τα σύνορα

Του χρόνου και να μπαίνω 

Σ άλλους καιρούς και μυστικά

Του κόσμου να μαθαίνω

Να διαγουμί..

διαγουμίσω το ντουνιά

τόπο να μη..  τόπο να μην αφήσω

και στην ψηλό..  ψηλότερη κορφή

τση γνώσης να..

τση γνώσης να πατήσω

να ιδώ τον κόσμο απ αγκινιου

να ξαναζήσω πάλι 

τση πλάσης το θεμέλιωμα

τη γέννα τη μεγάλη

φτερά του ανέ..

του ανέμου πάρτε με

τον κόσμο να ..

τον κόσμο να γυρίσω   

και την ψυχή..

την ψυχή μου λαχταρώ

να βρω να την. . να βρω να την γνωρίσω
