Eartha Kitt | C'est Si Bon (Live Kaskad 1962)

C'est si bon,
De partir n'importe où,
Bras dessus bras dessous,
En chantant des chansons,

C'est si bon,
De se dire des mots doux,
De petit rien du tout,
Mais qui en disent long.

En voyant notre mine ravie
Les passants dans la rue, nous envient

C'est si bon,
De guetter dans ses yeux
Un espoir merveilleux
Qui donne le frisson
C'est si bon
Cette petite sensation
ça vaut mieux qu'un million
C'est tellement tellement bon

Hum, c'est bon
Voilà c'est bon
Les passants dans la rue
Bras dessus bras dessous
En chantant des chansons
Quel espoir merveilleux

Hum, c'est bon
Je cherche un millionnaire
Avec des grands "Cadillac car"
"Mink coats"
Des bijoux
Jusqu'au cou, tu sais

Hum, c'est bon
Cette petite sensation
Ou peut-être quelqu'un avec un petit yacht, non ?
Ah C'est bon
C'est bon, C'est bon
Vous savez bien que j'attends quelqu'un
qui pourrait m'apporter beaucoup de luxe
Ce soir, demain, la semaine prochain(e)
N'importe quand
Hum, c'est bon
C'est bon
Il sera très crazy, non ?
Voilà, c'est tellement bon !

(Henri Betti - André Hornez)

Eartha Kitt | All by myself / Life made me beautiful at forty

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin'alone
I think of all the friends I've known
When I dial the telephone
Nobody's home

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore

Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And loves so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself
Anymore

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
Oh
Don't wanna live
By myself, by myself
Anymore
By myself
Anymore
Oh
All by myself
Don't wanna live
I never, never, never
Needed anyone

(Eric Carmen)



I've been through clouds and stormy skies
On different worlds, all filled with lives
I've travelled through the steams of lovers
And wiped my tears upon their covers
I've lived a life of rogue and queen
And died my hair to fit the scene
I've had my ups, I've had my downs
And sipped champagne with worldly crowns
I've been as honest as I could
And ashamed, the shame that knows I should
I've been loved and I've been lied to
And found a few shoulders I could cry to
And all those years I thought life naughty, ah-hah
Should make me beautiful at forty

For life's not been so bad to take
For now I've cut life's golden cake
Into a million tiny squares
And with each piece recall the years
The taste of life has not been so bad
Between the tears and joys I've had
But with some good and a little singing
She always allowed me to get a grin
And all those years I've spent on my youth
Thinking knowledge brought the truth
I know life has her games to play
And puzzles it, crackling play
So, graves are dug and wars are lost
But life goes on at any cost

I do think life has made me wiser
So there is no reason to disguise her
Even tried to rearrange her
She has been fair, I would not change her, hah-hum
She presents me life so simply
In a cup that's almost empty
With a little wine to tease me
But not enough to really please me
And if I drink, and let her take me
She is wise enough to wake me
But only after dreams and visions
Allowing me to see these decisions, ah-hah
All those years I thought life naughty
She made me beautiful at forty

(Eartha Kitt / Joachim Kühn)
