WHEN SUNNY GETS BLUE - Johnny Mathis, Nancy Wilson & others





WHEN SUNNY GETS BLUE

When Sunny gets blue, her eyes get gray and cloudy, 
Then the rain begins to fall, pitter-patter, pitter-patter, 
Love is gone, so what can matter, 
No sweet lover man comes to call.

When Sunny gets blue, she breaths a sigh of sadness, 
Like the wind that stirs the trees, 
Wind that sets the leaves to swaying 
Like some violin is playing strange and haunting melodies. 

Bridge:

*People used to love to hear her laugh, see her smile, 
That's how she got her name. 
Since that sad affair, she lost her smile, changed her style, 
Somehow she's not the same.

But memories will fade, and pretty dreams will rise up 
Where her other dreams fell through, 
Hurry new love, hurry here, to kiss away each lonely tear, 
And hold her near when Sunny gets blue. 

(Instrumental interlude and pick up at Bridge*.)

Hurry new love, hurry here, to kiss away each lonely tear
And hold her near when Sunny gets blue.

Piano Lesson : When Sunny Gets Blue Doug McKenzie
(Lagu ini pernah dimainkan dengan tempo yang agak cepat dan diramu dengan apik sekali oleh dedengkot jazz Indonesia Jack Lesmana yang dinyanyikan oleh Julie Amie dalam album bertajuk "Jack Jazz Lesmana-Luka". Saya sangat terinspirasi musik jazz ketika menyanyikan lagu ini dalam berbagai kesempatan. Dalam album itu juga ditampilkan Titi DJ yang menyanyikan Prahara Cinta, Menanti (dibawah pohon kambodja), Andaikan dan Luka. Namun versi lain buat saya terlalu slow seperti yang dibawakan Nancy Wilson di atas.)
The musician in the album is Jack Lesmana (guitar), Indra Lesmana (keyboard), Riza Arsyad (piano), Tahalele (Bass), and Cendy Luntungan (drum).

For All We Know

For all we know we may never meet again
Before you go make this moment sweet again
We won't say good night until the last minute

So love me tonight; tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come for all we know

Moon river wider than a mile
Im crossing you in style someday

Taking A Chance On Love - Jane Monheit and others



Taking A Chance On Love - Jane Monheit

Here I go again
I hear those trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love
Here I slide again
About to take that ride again
I'm starry eyed again
Taking a chance on love
I thought the cards were a frame-up
I never would try
But now I'm taking the game up
And the ace of hearts is high
All things are mending now
I see a rainbow blending now
We'll have a happy ending now
Taking a chance on love

[Instrumental break]

Here I slip again
About to take that trip again
Got my grip again
Taking a chance on love
Now I prove again
That I can make life move again
In the groove again
Taking a chance on love
I walk around with a horseshoe
In clover I lie
And brother rabbit of course you
Better kiss your foot good-bye
On the ball again
I'm riding for a fall again
I'm gonna give my all again
Taking a chance on love
Taking a chance on love

A Song For You - Rodney Franklin



(I bought the cassette in 1980s -30 years ago- when I went to College in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. The song is very nice and the lyrics too. The tune is steadily increasing to a very high level of composition untill coda. I got the printed lyrics here. Enjoy it folks)

A Song For You - Rodney Franklin



YOU- Basil Valdez




YOU- Basil Valdez

You give me hope,
The strength, the will to keep on;
No one else can make me feel this way
And only you
Can bring out all the best I can do;
I believe you turn the tide
And make me feel real good inside.

You pushed me up
When I'm about to give up;
You're on my side when no one seems to listen
And if you go,
You know the tears can't help but show
You'll break this heart and tear it apart;
Then suddenly the madness starts

CHORUS:

It's your smile,
Your face, your lips that I miss,
Those sweet little eyes that stare at me
And make me say,
I'm with you through all the way.

'Cause it's you
Who fills the emptiness in me;
It changes ev'rything, you see,
When I know I've got you with me

You pushed me up
When I'm about to give up;
You're on my side when no one seems to listen
And if you go,
You know the tears can't help but show
You'll break this heart and tear it apart;
Then suddenly the madness starts

CHORUS:
It's your smile,
Your face, your lips that I miss,
Those sweet little eyes that stare at me
And make me say,
I'm with you through all the way.

'Cause it's you
Who fills the emptiness in me;
It changes ev'rything, you see,
When I know I've got you with me.

It's your smile,
Your face, your lips that I miss,
Those sweet little eyes that stare at me
And make me say,
I'm with you through all the way.

'Cause it's you
Who fills the emptiness in me;
It changes ev'rything, you see,
When I know I've got you with me.




(Sebuah lagu lama yang dahulu, mungkin sekarang masih, saya hafal luar kepala selama bertahun-tahun karena indahnya melodi dan lyricsnya. Terakhir Mae Caringal menyanyikan di Manila untuk kami berlima. Sama halnya dengan lagu cinta abadi Dahil Saiyo, lagu ini juga dinyanyikan oleh penyanyi Phillippines yang sempat masuk tangga-tangga lagu dunia di US dan UK, tapi tidak dibiarkan bertahan karena bukan penyanyi barat...wow what a wonderful life I had...Thanks God)

Bella senz'anima - Riccardo Cocciante




"Bella senz'anima"

E adesso siediti su quella seggiola,
stavolta ascoltami senza interrompere,
è tanto tempo che volevo dirtelo.
Vivere insieme a te è stato inutile,
tutto senza allegria, senza una lacrima,
niente da aggiungere ne da dividere,
nella tua trappola ci son caduto anch'io,
avanti il prossimo, gli lascio il posto mio.

Povero diavolo, che pena mi fa,
e quando a letto lui ti chiederà di più
tu glielo concederai perché tu fai così,
come sai fingere se ti fa comodo.
E adesso so chi sei e non ci soffro più,
e se verrai di là te lo dimostrerò,
e questa volta tu te lo ricorderai.
E adesso spogliati come sai fare tu,
ma non illuderti, io non ci casco più,
tu mi rimpiangerai, bella senz'anima.
Na na na na ra na ..
na na na na ra na ...
ah ah ah ah ah ah...

Ella - Riccardo Cocciante


Ella
:

Ella, es la vida que me invita a soñar
Ella, es el sueño que me empuja a vivir

Ella lee lo que siento y presiente lo que pasarà
Ella sabe que la quiero pero quiere que la quiera màs

Ella, me inseña lo que ignoro de mì
Ella, es la nota que no alcanza mi voz

Es un alma en carne viva, el desnudo de la desnuez
La conozco y me es estraña, la descubro cada amanecer

Ella, se gusta y le place gustar
Ella, se entrega pero esconde un as

Se abandona maliciosa, pero no se deja abandonar
Se insinùa, me conduce, se asegura y despuès se va

Ella, es la boca que provoca mi sed
Ella, es el fuego que me sacia despuès

Y si no arriescgo corro el riesgo de perder antes de jugar
Poequè elle quiere que la quiera y yo no sè como quererla màs

Ella, se gusta y le place gustar
Ella, se entrega pero esconde un as

-----------------------------

Doy mi alma por sus huesos, es mi vida soy su corazòn
Si el amor tuviera nombre, al nombrarla yo diria amor

Ella, es la vida que me invita a soñar
Ella, es el sueño que me empuja a vivir
Ella, me inseña lo que ignoro de mì
Ella, no engaña pero sabe mentir

Si dice no, serà que sì, si dice sì seguro que quizàs
Porquè ella sabe que la quiero pero quiere que la quiera màs

Ella, es la nota que no alcanza mi voz
Ella, se gusta y le place gustar
Ella, es la boca que provoca mi sed
Ella, es el fuego que me sacia despuès
Ella, se entrega pero esconde un as.

(Sekumpulan lagu lucu dari favorite saya Riccardo yang DVD nya kebetulan saya dapat sewaktu di airport Paris, Charles de Gaule pada penghujung tahun 2005)

Celeste Nostalgia (Riccardo Cocciante)



Celeste Nostalgia :
(Riccardo Cocciante)

Avevi ragione tu mia cara
la vita non dura mai, una sera
il tempo di una follia
che breve poi fugge via
e poi
cosa rimane dentro noi
questa celeste nostalgia
questo saperti da sempre ancora
ancora mia
mia...
Il bene profondo non si offende
si spegne se è il caso
e poi si accende
passione violenta sia
comprendimi amica mia
tu puoi
tutto normale tra di noi
cara celeste nostalgia
dolce compagna di storie d'amore
sempre mia
sempre mia
Vedete un'estate sopra un treno
partire su un auto
e andar lontano
quel lampo negli occhi, ciao!
fa male d'accordo, ciao
ma tu
dentro di me non muori più
azzurra celeste nostalgia
qualche parola affettuosa
un po' contro però
per noi, forse no...
Amore più grande amica mia
cara celeste nostalgia
un'ora, un giorno, una vita
che cosa vuoi che sia
che sia
Amore più grande amica mia
cara celeste nostalgia
un'ora, un giorno, una vita
che cosa vuoi che sia

MARGHERITA (Riccardo Cocciante)






Just wanna share this song dengan teman2.

Kondisi Italia yang sedikit terisolir dari liputan media kita agak menjauhkan kita dari bbrp pemusik besar mereka. Lagu ini adalah lagu favorit saya yang ketika SMP dulu dalam bahasa Inggris berjudul "Just For You". Lagu ini juga membawa saya "iseng2" dapat memenangi lomba karaoke di Bappenas bbrp tahun lalu..... ah malu juga nyeritain, tapi sekedar berbagi bagaimana sebuah mahakarya memang pada akhirnya akan dapat penghargaan dimanapun itu, meski jauh dipelosok dunia lain seperti di kota kelahiran saya di Bukittinggi. Appresiasi seni yang setulus hati akan memberikan makna dan mengisi "hollow" di dalam diri kita jika tulus pula menikmatinya.


MARGHERITA (Riccardo Cocciante)

Io non posso stare fermo
con le mani nelle mani,
tante cose devo fare
prima che venga domani...
E se lei gi sta dormendo
io non posso riposare,
far in modo che al risveglio
non mi possa pi scordare.

Perch questa lunga notte
non sia nera pi del nero,
fatti grande, dolce Luna,
e riempi il cielo intero...
E ... Read moreperch quel suo sorriso
possa ritornare ancora,
splendi Sole domattina
come non hai fatto ancora...

E per poi farle cantare
le canzoni che ha imparato,
io le costruir un silenzio
che nessuno ha mai sentito...
Sveglier tutti gli amanti
parler per ore ed ore,
abbracciamoci pi forte
perch lei vuole l'amore.

Poi corriamo per le strade
e mettiamoci a ballare,
perch lei vuole la gioia,
perch lei odia il rancore,
poi con secchi di vernice
coloriamo tutti i muri,
case, vicoli e palazzi,
perch lei ama i colori,
raccogliamo tutti i fiori,
che pu darci Primavera,
costruiamole una culla,
per amarci quando sera.

oi saliamo su nel cielo
e prendiamole una stella,
perch Margherita buona,
perch Margherita bella,
perch Margherita dolce,
perch Margherita vera,
perch Margherita ama,
e lo fa una notte intera.

Perch Margherita un sogno,
perch Margherita sale,
perch Margherita il vento,
e non sa che pu far male,
perch Margherita tutto,
ed lei la mia pazzia.
Margherita, Margherita,
Margherita adesso mia,
Margherita mia...


JUST FOR YOU

I can't stay now and just wait now,
my hands then go so impatient
many things I've got to do now for the first ray of the morning.

Though she play in peaceful chamber,
sleep to me just doesn't come
when she wake I have to tell her everything I have to say.

And the night so dark inside me
makes me finaly understand
where the love that she has given me,
she can light the sky forever.

It's the way she give so freely,
it's the way she takes my hands,
I just ask the sun shine brightly
got to see her smile again.

Then I sing a song I've writen
and I'll make the whole world listen
in the silence just for you,
like no one has ever heard.

And I wake up all the lovers
and I give them back for hours
and we'll do the things we wanted
the way that lovers do.

And we'll run into the street
and we'll start to dance like crazy
cos she want only to feel joy
in the love she gives and needs.

And we take the time to stop quarrel, (?)
And we'll paint the street and building
rainbow color everyone
those she wants, colors to sing,
and we'll paint full fill with flowers,
make the street alive with spring,
make a place where lovers go,
fly away like lovers do.

Then we'll fly into the sky and we'll look into the stars
and our stars return the Whole world,
the love we have, we are,
the love we share is sweet
the love we know is real,
that love is not to dream but last, we know that alone

Because you love and my begin
without dreaming all begin,
and the love that you have given
return to us to win

cos your love for me is not begining and the end your love
for me, forever, you love for me forever...

DEBORAH - Jon Anderson

I read your letter
I got it just the other day
You seem so happy
So funny how time melts away
It's such a pleasure
To see you growing
And how you're sending your love
Thru' the air today

I think of Heaven
Each time I see you walking there
And as you're walking I think of children
Everywhere
It's in your star sign
You growing stronger
I can't believe you
It's so good to care

Thru' enchantment - into Sunlight
Angels touched your eyes
Your Highness - Electric - So Surprise Is this your first life
It seems as tho' you have lived before
You help me hold on
You have a heart like an open door
You sing so sweetly
My Love adores you
She does, she's thinking of you
Right now, I know

The summer's coming
I'll keep in touch so you're not alone
Then like a swallow, you'll fly away
Like birds have flown
So let me tell you
How much I love you
I'd make the songbirds sing
For you again

Well now it's goodnight
Sweet angel, read this letter well

[What a very nice tune and lyrics. I firstly heard this song from
my nephew Toosa's cassete when we lived in Griya Legita Apartement C7,
Simpruk, in early 80s. Around midnightwould be a very best to
appreciate this song!]

Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle
F Fm7 C Am7
Just remember darlin' all the while
Dm7 G7 C
You belong to me

C Em7
See the marketplace in Old Algeirs
F Fm7 C Am7
Send me photographs and souveneers
F Fm7 C Am7
Just remember when a dream appears
Dm7 G7 C
You belong to me
C C7 F
I'd be so alone without you
D7 G7 Gaug5
Maybe you'd be lonesome too, and blue

C Em7
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
F Fm7 C Am7
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
F Fm7 C Am7
Just remember 'till you're home again
Dm7 G7 C
You belong to me

(Pertama kali kecantol lagi sama lagu ini adalah ketika naik Emirates dari Dubai ke Paris, 2005. Sungguh enak lirik dan melodinya. Apalagi arti liriknya yang mengingatkan kita untuk tetap setia sama pasangan hidup,...ceila..!...just remember till you home again...you belong to me!). Untuk chords pada akhir baris kedua, saya lebih senang menggunakan A7 dibanding Am7. Terakhir lagu ini juga dinyanyin oleh Michael Bubble dan Rod Steward. Selamat mencoba!

TERSIKSA LAGI / You are the reason- Utha Likumahua, Ramsey Lewis



TERSIKSA LAGI - Utha Likumahua

CM7 Gm7 C7
Kala surya menghilang
FM7 Esus
Bulan dan bintang kan bersemi lagi
E7 Am7/G
Bagaikan pelita yang datang
F Em
Menyinari sukma
Dm7 G7/sus
Yang dilanda lara duka nestapa

Kala burung berkicau
Mentari pagi akan datang lagi
Menghangatkan hati yang sedang
Dimabuk asmara dan menyiksa raga

Fm7 Bb7

Reff:

EbM7 Dm7
Dimanakah, akan kucari pengganti dirimu
Gm7 EbM7
Entah dimana oh dimana, dimana
Fm7/Bb7
Dimana lagi, harus kucari
EbM7 Dm7
Mengapakah diri ini harus tersiksa lagi
Gm7 EbM7
Entah mengapa, oh mengapa, mengapa
Fm7/Bb7
Tersiksa lagi

(Salah satu lagu favorit saya ketika masuk PMDK di IPB dulu, angkatan 19. Terbayang indahnya kota hujan Bogor, jalan-jalannya yang basah, lembab, dan sunyi. Sayangnya perjuangan untuk tetap di Bogor harus dipindahkan ke Bandung yang lebih dinamis dan tidak menjemukan. Ya itulah dia fall semester 82, eh..agustus 82, ketika Italia juara piala dunia..)

Kesepian - Andi Meriem Mattalata

KESEPIAN

Langit yang biru cemerlang tertutup awan nan kelabu
Tiada sinar yang terang membuat cerah dihatiku
Hatiku kini yang ragu sejak ditinggalkan olehmu dulu
Meragukan cintamu kepadaku maafkan sayangku

Dosakah aku bila dicumbu oleh teman lamamu
Awan kelabu telah hilang ditiup angin nan lalu
Hatiku yang bersinar kembali sejak kehadirannya kini
Kesepian hatiku membuat lupa akan cintamu

Reff:

Bimbang hati saat ini
Kuharapkan dirimu datang
Sebelum hatiku ingkar kepadamu
Karena dilanda kesepian
Matahatiku hampir tak dapat melihat lagi

ulang Reff:

(wow sebuah lirik yang sentimental namun sedikit nakal..terutama untuk yang lagi jatuh cinta

TODAY - John Denver cover Eddy Satriya




TODAY - John Denver

Today while the blossom still clings to the vine,
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine,
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joys that is mine.. today.

I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover,
You'll know who I am by the song that I sing.
I'll feast at your ... Read moretable, I'll sleep in your clover,
Who cares what tomorrow shall bring?

Today while the blossom still clings to the vine,
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine,
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joys that are mine today.

I can't be contented with yesterday's glories,
I can't live on promises winter to spring,
Today is my moment and now is my story,
I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing.

Today while the blossom still clings to the vine,
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine,
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joys that is mine today.

ALONE AGAIN, NATURALLY - Gilbert O' Sullivan




Alone Again (Naturally)
(O'Sullivan)

intro: Gbmaj7 Gb6 Bbm7 Eb7 Abm7 Db7-9 Gbmaj7 Gb6

Gbmaj7 Gb6
In a little while from now
Bbm7
If I'm not feeling any less sour
Dbm
I promise myself to treat myself
Bbm7-5 Eb7
And visit a nearby tower
Abm7
And climbing to the top
Abm7-5
To throw myself off
Gb Gb+
In an effort to make it clear to who-
Gb6 F7
ever what it's like when you're shattered
Bbm7
Left standing in the lurch
Dbm Eb7
At a church with people saying
Abm7
"My God, that's tough, she stood him up
Abm7-5
No point in us remaining
Gbmaj7 Gb6
We may as well go home"
Bbm7 Eb7
As I did on my own
Abm7 Db7-9 Gbmaj7 Gb6
Alone again, naturally

To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful bright and gay
Looking forward - who wouldn't do?
The role I was about to play
And as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Threw me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God in his mercy
Who if He really does exist
Why did He desert me
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Abm7 Db7-9 Gb
Alone again, naturally

bridge: A E7
It seems to me that there are more hearts broken in the world
G#m7-5 C#7-9
Than can be mended
A D#m7-5
Left unattended
C#maj7
What do we do?
G#m7 C#7-9
What do we do?

Looking back over the years
And whatever else appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide my tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start
With a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
When she passed away
I cried and cried all day

Alone again naturally
