Here Comes the Sun - Nina Simone


Here comes the sun, Little Darlin, here comes the sun I say, it's all right, it's all right
Here comes the sun, Little Darlin, here comes the sun I say, it's all right, it's all right

Little Darlin, it's been a long cold and lonely winter,
Little Darlin, it feels like years since you've been here

Here comes the sun, Little Darlin, here comes the sun I say, it's all right, it's all right

Little Darlin, the smiles have returned to the faces now,
Little Darlin, it seems like years since you've been here

It's been a long cold lonely winter,
Little Darlin it feels like years since you've been here
Here somes the sun, aren't you glad to see it, I say it's all right

Here comes the sun, Little Darlin, I say It's alright, Little Darlin

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun I say, Little Darlin,
It seems like years since you've been here
Little Darlin, here comes the sun, it's all right
You can come on out

Nina Simone - Suzanne (Rome 1969)

Suzanne takes you down to her place BY (near) the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night FOREVER (beside her)
And you know that she's half crazy
AND (But) that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
(then) She gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.

NOW (And) Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said "All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
'CAUSE (And) you think maybe you('ll) CAN trust him
'CAUSE (For) he's touched your perfect body with his mind.

Now Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
BETWEEN (Among) the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning, LEANING out for love
And they will lean that way forever

Love or leave me - Nina Simone

Love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won't believe me but I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else

You might find the night time the right time for kissing
Night-time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intended to be independently blue

I want your love, don't wanna borrow
Have it today to give back tomorrow
Your love is my love
There's no love for nobody else

Say, love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won't believe me but I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else

You might find the night-time the right time for kissing
Night-time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intended to be independently blue

Say I want your love, don't wanna borrow
Have it today to give back tomorrow
Your love is my love
My love is your love
There's no love for nobody else

Nina Simone - Ne Me Quitte Pas

Ne Me Quitte Pas

Ne me quitte pas

Il faut oublier

Tout peut s'oublier

Qui s'enfuit déjà

Oublier le temps

Des malentendus

Et le temps perdu

A savoir comment

Oublier ces heures

Qui tuaient parfois

A coups de pourquoi

Le coeur du bonheure

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Moi je t'offrirai

Des perles et des pluie

Venues de pays

Où il ne pleut pas

Je creuserai la terre

Jusqu'après ma mort

Pour couvrir ton corps

D'or et de lumière

Je ferai un domaine

Où l'amour sera roi

Où l'amour sera loi

Où tu seras reine

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Je t'inventerai

Des mots insensés

Que tu comprendras

Je te parlerai

De ces amants-là

Qui ont vu deux fois

Leurs coeurs s'embraser

Je te racontrai

L'histoire de ce roi

Mort de n'avoir pas

Pu te rencontrer

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

On a vu souvent

Rejaillir le feu

De l'ancien volcan

Qu'on croyait trop vieux

Il est paraît-il

Des terres brûlées

Donnant plus de blé

Qu'un meilleur avril

Et quand vient le soir

Pour qu'un ciel flamboie

Le rouge et le noir

Ne s'épousent-ils pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Je ne vais plus pleurer

Je ne vais plus parler

Je me cacherai là

A te regarder

Danser et sourire

Et à t'écouter

Chanter et puis rire

Laisse-moi devenir

L'ombre de ton ombre

L'ombre de ta main

L'ombre de ton chien

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Nina Simone - Feeling Good

Nina Simone - Feeling Good


Birds flying high you know how I feel

Sun in the sky you know how I feel

Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel

(refrain:)x2

It's a new dawn

It's a new day

It's a new life

For me

And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea you know how I feel

River running free you know how I feel

Blossom on the tree you know how I feel

(refrain)

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know

Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean

Sleep in peace when day is done

That's what I mean

And this old world is a new world

And a bold world

For me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel

Scent of the pine you know how I feel

Oh freedom is mine

And I know how I feel

(refrain)

Nina Simone - Just Like A Woman

Nina Simone - Just Like A Woman


I take
Just like a woman
Yes i do
And i make love
Just like a woman
And i ache
Just like a woman
But i break
Like a little girl

Nobody here feels any pain
Tonight as i stand inside the rain
And no one has to guess
That baby's got new clothes
Lately i see her ribbons and her bows
And the problems
From her curls

Refrain
I take
Just like a woman...

It was raining from the first
And i was dying her of thirst
That's why i came here
And a long time's curse
And what's worse
Is this pain in here
I can't stay in here
Ain't it clear
Ain't it clear

I must admit
I believe it's time for me to quit
And until we meet again
Bein' introduced as friends
Please don't let on
That you knew me when
I was hungry
And it was your world

Refrain
I take
Just like a woman....

Nina Simone - My baby just cares for me

Nina Simone - My baby just cares for me


My baby don't care for shows
My baby don't care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for cars and races
My baby don't care for high-tone places

Liz Taylor is not his style
And even Lana Turner's smile
Is somethin' he can't see
My baby don't care who knows
My baby just cares for me

Baby, my baby don't care for shows
And he don't even care for clothes
He cares for me
My baby don't care
For cars and races
My baby don't care for
He don't care for high-tone places

Liz Taylor is not his style
And even Liberace's smile
Is something he can't see
Is something he can't see
I wonder what's wrong with baby
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for me

Nina Simone

Stars

(Janis Ian) 

     

  I was never one for singing what I really feel 

Except tonight I'm bringing everything I know that's real 



Stars, they come and go, they come fast or slow 

They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze 

And all you see is glory 

Hey but it gets lonely there when there's no one here to share 

We can shake it away, if you'll hear a story 



People lust for fame like athletes in a game, 

we break our collarbones and come up swinging, 

some of us are downed 

some of us are crowned, and some are lost and never found 

But most have seen it all, 

they live their lives in sad cafes and music halls 

They always come up singing 



Some make it when they're young, 

before the world has done its dirty job 

and later on someone will say 

"You've had your day, now you must make way" 

But they'll never know the pain of living with a name you never owned 

or the many years forgetting what you know too well 

That the ones who gave the crown have been let down 

You try to make amends without defending 

Perhaps pretending you never saw the eyes of grown men of twenty-five 

that follow as you walk and ask for autographs 

Or kiss you on the cheek and you never can believe they really loved you 

Some make it when they're old 

(Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare 

or perhaps there's nothing there) 



Stars, they come and go, they come fast they come slow 

They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze 

And all you see is glory 

But most have seen it all, 

they live their lives in sad cafes and music halls 

They always have a story 



Some women have a body men will want to see 

and so they put it on display 

Some people play a fine guitar, I could listen to them play all day 

Some ladies really move across the stage and gee, they sure can dance 

I guess I could learn how, if I gave it half a chance 



But I always feel so funny when my body tries to soar 

And I seem to always worry about missing the next chord 

I guess there isn't anything to put up on display 

Except the tunes, and whatever else I say 

But anyway, that isn't really what I meant to say 

I meant to tell a story, I live from day to day 



Stars, they come and go, they're coming fast they come slow 

They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze 

And all you see is glory 

But most have seen it all, 

who live their lives in sad cafes and music halls 

And we always have a story 



So if you don't lose patience with my fumbling around 

I'll come up singing for you, even when I'm down

Ready To Sing (pronta Pra Cantar) Nina Simone

I'm on the top of the mountain
Beyond despair and bliss
Facing the abiss
The center of my will
Is like a motionless wing
I stand still
I'm ready to sing
I'm ready to sing

Love's given me more than I dreamt of
Love's taken it all
From summer to fall
But now I'll keep forever
What I have learned from spring
Hear my call
I'm ready to sing
I'm ready to sing

Estou no topo do monte
Não rio e não cismo
Fixo o grande abismo
Minha vontade é uma asa parada no ar
Estou aqui pronta pra cantar
Pronta pra cantar

O amor me deu mais do que o sonho
O amor tudo levou
E o outuno chegou
Mas o dom da primavera
Ninguém vai me tirar
Hoje eu estou pronta pra cantar
Pronta pra cantar

Dá-me tua mão quero andar por aí
Quero ver a manhã

Sun shining 'through shades of blue
Veils of dew

Deixa a alegria chegar
Quero ver nova vida

Open skies open my heart
I sing alone in a studio

Canto no sertão

Tape is spinning round

No palco do teatro

Here is my everything

Estou no ar

I'm ready to sing

Pronta pra cantar

I'm ready to sing

Nina Simone - You've got to learn

Nina Simone - You've got to learn

You've got to learn to show a happy face although you're full of misery
You mustn't show a trace of sadness and never look for simple things

You've got to learn although it's very hard the way(?) you pocket in your pride
Sometimes face humiliation while you're burning up inside

Facing reality is often hard to do when it seems happiness is gone
You've got to learn to hold your tears and tell your heart life must go on

You've got to learn to leave the table when love's no longer being served
To show everybody that you're able to leave without saying a word

You've got to learn to hide your sorrow and go on living as before
But good is thinking of tomorrow
Who knows what it may have been stored?
You've got to learn to be much stronger the times your head must rule your heart

You've got to learn from hard experience and lead some to advice
And sometimes bear the price and learn to live with a broken heart

Nina Simone - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

Nina Simone - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

Baby you understand me now
If sometimes you see I'm mad
Doncha know that no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong you see some bad

Well I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Ya know sometimes baby I'm so carefree
with a joy that's hard to hide
Then sometimes it seems again that all I have is worry
And then you burn to see my other side

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy
I want you to know
I never meant to take it out on you
Life has its problems
and I get more than my share
but that's me one thing I never mean to do

Cos I love you
Oh baby
I'm just human
Don't you know I have faults like anyone?

Sometimes I find myself alone regreting
some little foolish thing
some simple thing that I've done

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

I try so hard
So don't let me be misunderstood
