John Denver - A Song's Best Friend/ The Very Best Of [compilation] (2004) by John Denver (보컬) on maniadb.com

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go,
I'm standing here outside your door,
I hate to wake you up to say good-bye.
But the dawn is breakin',
It's early morn,
The taxi's waitin'
He's blowin' his horn,
Already I'm so lonesome I could die.

So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around,
I tell you now they don't mean a thing.
Ev'ry place I go I'll think of you,
Ev'ry song I sing I'll sing for you,
When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring.

So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

Now the time has come to leave you,
One more time let me kiss you,
Then close your eyes I'll be on my way.
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone,
About the times I won't have to say:

Kiss me and smile for me.
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh, babe, I hate to go.
I'm leavin' on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

Almost heaven
West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountain
Shenandoah River
Life is old there
Older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growing like a breeze
Country road take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia
Mountain Mama
Take me home country roads
All my memories
Gather round her
Miners Lady
Stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty
Painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrops in my eyes
Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia
Mountain Mama
Take me home country roads
I hear her voice
in the morning hours
She calls me
The radio reminds me
of my home far away
And driving down the road
I get a feeling
That I should have been home
Yesterday yesterday
Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia
Mountain Mama
Take me home country roads
Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia
Mountain Mama
Take me home country roads
Take me home country roads
Take me home country roads

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy.
내 어깨위로 비추는 햇살이 날 행복하게 하네요
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry.
내 눈에 비추는 햇살이 날 슬프게 하네요
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely.
물위로 반짝이는 햇살이 너무 아름답게 보여요
Sunshine almost always makes me high.
햇살은 항상 내 기분을 들뜨게 만들어요

If I had a day that I could give you
나 당신에게 둘수 있는 하루가 있다면
I'd give to you a day just like today.
오늘같이 햇살 맑은 날을 드리고 싶어요
If I had a song that I could sing for you
내가 당신을 위해 부를 수 있는 노래가 있다면
I'd sing a song to make you feel this way.
이런 햇살 맑은 느낌으로 부르고 싶어요

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy.
내 어깨위로 비추는 햇살이 날 행복하게 하네요
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry.

햇살은 항상 내 기분을 들뜨게 만들어요

If I had a tale that I could tell you
내가 당신에게 줄 수 있는 이야기가 있다면
I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile.
그 이야기로 당신을 웃음짓게 하겠죠
If I had a wish that I could wish for you
내가 당신을 위해 소망하는 바램이 있다면
I'd make a wish to sunshine all the while.
항상 햇살처럼 빛나는 바램을 가지겠죠

Sunshine almost the time makes me high
햇살은 항상 내 기분을 들뜨게 만들어요
Sunshine almost always.
그 햇살이 항상

I’ve been lately thinking
About my life’s time
All the things I’ve done
And how it’s been
And I can’t help believing
In my own mind
I know I’m gonna hate to see it end

I’ve seen a lot of sunshine
Slept out in the rain
Spent a night or two all on my own
I’ve known my lady’s pleasures
Had myself some friends
And spent a time or two in my own home

And I have to say it now
It’s been a good life all in all
It’s really fine
To have a chance to hang around
And lie there by the fire
And watch the evening tire
While all my friends and my old lady
Sit and pass the pipe around

And talk of poems and prayers and promises
And things that we believe in
How sweet it is to love someone
How right it is to care
How long it’s been since yesterday
And what about tomorrow
And what about our dreams
And all the memories we share

The days they pass so quickly now
Nights are seldom long
And time around me whispers when it’s cold
The changes somehow frighten me
Still I have to smile
It turns me on to think of growing old
For though my life’s been good to me
There’s still so much to do
So many things my mind has never known
I’d like to raise a family
I’d like to sail away
And dance across the mountains on the moon

I have to say it now
It’s been a good life all in all
It’s really fine
To have the chance to hang around
And lie there by the fire
And watch the evening tire
While all my friends and my old lady
Sit and pass the pipe around

And talk of poems and prayers and promises
And things that we believe in
How sweet it is to love someone
How right it is to care
How long it’s been since yesterday
What about tomorrow
What about our dreams
And all the memories we share

He was born in the summer
of his 27th year Comin' home
to a place he'd never been before
He left yesterday behind him
you might say he was born again
You might say he found
a key for every door
When he first came to the
mountains his life was far away
On the road and hangin' by a song
But the string's already broken
and he doesn't really care
It keeps changin' fast
and it don't last for long
But the Colorado
Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight
is softer than a lullabye
Rocky Mountain high
Rocky Mountain high
He climbed cathedral mountains
he saw silver clouds below
He saw everything
as far as you can see
And they say he got crazy once
and he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend
but kept his memory
Now he walks in quiet solitude
the forests and the streams
Seeking grace in every step he takes
His sight has turned inside
himself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear
blue mountain lake And the Colorado
Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin'
fire in the sky talk to God
and listen to the casual reply
Rocky Mountain high high Colorado
Rocky Mountain high high Colorado
Now his life is full
of wonder but his heart
still knows some fear
Of a simple thing
he cannot comprehend
Why they try to
tear the mountains down
to bring in a couple more
More people more scars upon
the land And the Colorado
Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
I know he'd be a poorer man
if he never saw an eagle fly
Rocky Mountain high
It's a Colorado
Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire
and everybody's high
Rocky Mountain high high Colorado
Rocky Mountain high high Colorado
Rocky Mountain high high Colorado
Rocky Mountain high high Colorado
Rocky Mountain high high Colorado
Rocky Mountain high high Colorado

Welcome to my morning, welcome to my day
Oh yes, I'm the one responsible
I made it just this way
To make myself some pictures and see what they might bring
I think I made it perfectly
I wouldn't change a thing.

Welcome to my happiness, you know it makes me smile
And it pleases me to have you here
For just a little while
While we open up some spaces and try to break some chains
And if the truth is told
They will never come again.

Welcome to my evening, the closing of the day
You know I could try a million times
Never find a better way
To tell you that I love you, and all the songs I play
Are to thank you for allowing me
In the lovely day you made.

Welcome to my morning, welcome to my day
Oh yes, I'm the one responsible
I made it just this way
To make myself some pictures and see what they might bring
I think I made it perfectly
I wouldn't change a thing.

You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains
in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again
Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Come let me love you
Come love me again

Let me give my life to you
Come let me love you
Come love me again
You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains
in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again

There's a storm across the valley clouds are rollin' in
the afternoon is heavy on your shoulders.
There's a truck out on the four lane a mile or more away
the whinin' of his wheels just makes it colder.

He's an hour away from ridin' on your prayers up in the sky
and ten days on the road are barely gone.
There's a fire softly burning; supper's on the stove
but it's the light in your eyes that makes him warm.

Chorus:
Hey, it's good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Yes, 'n, hey it's good to be back home again

After all the news to tell him: how's you spend your time?
And what's the latest thing the neighbors say
and your mother called last friday; "Sunshine" made her cry
and you felt the baby move just yesterday.

Chorus

Bridge:
And oh, the time that I can lay this tired old body down
and feel your fingers feather soft up-on me
the kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way
the happiness that livin' with you brings me.

It's the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you
it's the little things that make a house a home.
Like a fire softly burning and supper on the stove.
And the light in your eyes that makes me warm

Lost and alone on some forgotten highway
Travelled by many remembered by few
Lookin’ for something that I can believe in
Lookin’ for something that
I’d like to do with my life
There’s nothin’ behind me
and nothin’ that ties me
To somethin’ that might
have been true yesterday
Tomorrow is open and right now
it seems to be more
Than enough to just be there today
And I don’t know
what the future is holdin’ in store
I don’t know where I’m goin’,
I’m not sure where I’ve been
There’s a spirit that guides me
a light that shines for me
My life is worth the livin’,
I don’t need to see the end
Sweet, sweet surrender
Live, live without care
Like a fish in the water
Like a bird in the air
Sweet, sweet surrender
Live, live without care
Like a fish in the water
Like a bird in the air
Lost and alone on some forgotten highway
Travelled by many remembered by few
Lookin’ for something that I can believe in
Lookin’ for something that
I’d like to do with my life
There’s nothin’ behind me
and nothin’ that ties me
To somethin’ that might
have been true yesterday
Tomorrow is open and right now
it seems to be more
Than enough to just be here today
And I don’t know
what the future is holdin’ in store
I don’t know where I’m goin’,
I’m not sure where I’ve been
There’s a spirit that guides me,
a light that shines for me
My life is worth the livin’,
I don’t need to see the end
Sweet, sweet surrender
Live, live without care
Like a fish in the water
Like a bird in the air
Sweet, sweet surrender
Live, live without care
Like a fish in the water
Like a bird in the air
Sweet, sweet surrender
Live, live without care
Like a fish in the water
Like a bird in the air
Sweet, sweet surrender
Live, live without care
Like a fish in the water
Like a bird in the air
Sweet, sweet surrender
Live, live without care
Like a fish in the water
Like a bird in the air
Sweet, sweet surrender
Live, live without care

Well life on the farm is kinda laid back
Ain't much an old country boy
like me can't hack
It's early to rise, early in the sack
Thank God I'm a country boy
Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm
A raisin' me a family and workin' on a farm
My days are all filled with
an easy country charm
Thank God I'm a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle
When the sun's comin' up
I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothin' but a funy funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy
When the work's all done
and the sun's settlin' low
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow
The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low
Thank God I'm a country boy
I'd play ally Goodin'all day if I could
But the Lord and my wife
wouldn't take it very good
So I fiddle when I could, work when I should
Thank God I'm a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle
When the sun's comin' up
I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothin' but a funy funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy

Well I wouldn't trade my life
for diamonds and jewels
I never was one of them money hungry fools
Iid rather have my fiddle and my farmin' tools
Thank God I'm a country boy
Yeah, city folk drivin' in a black limousine
A lotta sad people thinkin' that's mighty keen
Son, let me tell ya now exactly what I mean
Thank God I'm a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle
When the sun's comin' up
I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothin' but a funy funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy

Well, my fiddle was
my daddy's till the day he died
And he took me by the hand
and held me close to his side
Said, ive a good life and
play my fiddle with pride
And thank God you're a country boy
My daddy taught me young
how to hunt and how to whittle
Taught me how to work
and play a tune on the fiddle
Taught me how to love and
how to give just a little
Thank God I'm a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle
When the sun's comin' up
I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothin' but a funy funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy

It’s cold here in the city
It always seems that way
And I’ve been thinking
about you almost everyday
Thinking about the good times
Thinking about the rain
Thinking about how bad it feels alone again
I’m sorry for the way things are in China
I’m sorry things ain’t what they used to be
But more than anything else
I’m sorry for myself
‘Cause you’re not here with me
Our friends ask all about you
I say you’re doing fine
And I expect to hear
from you almost anytime
But they all know I’m crying
I can’t sleep at night
They all know I’m dying down deep inside
I’m sorry for all the lies I told you
I’m sorry for the things I didn’t say
But more than anything else
I’m sorry for myself
I can’t believe you went away

I’m sorry if I took some things for granted
I’m sorry for the chains I put on you
But more than anything else
I’m sorry for myself
For living without you

To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean
To ride on the crest of the wild raging storm
To work in the service of life and the living
In search of the answers to questions unknown
To be part of the movement and part of the growing
Part of beginning to understand

CHORUS
Aye Calypso
The place's you've been to
The things that you've shown us
The stories you tell
Aye Calypso
I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you
So long and so well


Like the dolphin who guides you
You bring us beside you
To light up the darkness and show us the way
For though we are strangers in your silent world
To live on the land we must learn from the sea
To be true as the tide
And free as a wind-swell
Joyful and loving in letting it be

CHORUS
Aye Calypso
The place's you've been to
The things that you've shown us
The stories you tell
Aye Calypso
I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you
So long and so well

All of her days have gone soft and cloudy
All of her dreams have gone dry
All of her nights have gone sad and shady
She’s getting ready to fly
Fly away, fly away, fly away

Life in the city can make you crazy
For sounds of the sand and the sea
Life in a high-rise can make you hungry
For things that you can’t even see
Fly away, fly away, fly away
In this whole world
there’s nobody as lonely as she
There’s nowhere to go and
there’s nowhere that she’d rather be

She’s looking for lovers and children playing
She’s looking for signs of the spring
She listens for laughter
and sounds of dancing
She listens for any old thing
Fly away, fly away, fly away

In this whole world
there’s nobody as lonely as she
There’s nowhere to go and
there’s nowhere that she’d rather be

All of her days have gone soft and cloudy
All of her dreams have gone dry
All of her nights have gone sad and shady
She’s getting ready to fly
Fly away, fly away, fly away

On the road of experience
I'm trying to find my own way
Sometimes I wish that I could fly away
When I think that I'm moving
Suddenly things stand still
I'm afraid cause I think they always will

And I'm looking for space
And to find out who I am
And I'm looking to know and understand
It's a sweet sweet dream
Sometimes I'm almost there
Sometimes I fly like an eagle and
Sometims I'm deep in despair

All alone in the universe
Sometimes that's how it seems
I get lost in the sadness and the screams
Then I look in the center
Suddenly everything's clear
I find myself in the sunshine and my dreams

And I'm looking for space
And to find out who I am
And I'm looking to know and understand
It's a sweet sweet dream
Sometimes I'm almost there
Sometimes I fly like an eagle and
Sometims I'm deep in despair

On the road of experience
Join in the living day
If there's an answer
It's just that it's just that way

When you're looking for space
And to find out who you are
When you're looking to try and reach the stars

It's a sweet sweet dream
Sometimes I'm almost there
Sometimes I fly like an eagle and
Sometimes I'm deep in despair


From the album WINDSONG (1975)

Usually in the morning
I'm filled with sweet belonging
And ev'rything is beautiful to see
Even when it's raining
the sound of heaven singing
Is simply joyful music to me.
Sometimes I feel like a sad song
Like I'm all alone without you.
So many diff'rent places
a million smiling faces
Life is so incredible to me
Especially to be near you
and how it is to touch you
Oh paradise was made for you and me.
Sometimes I feel like a sad song
Like I'm all alone without you.
I know that life goes on just perfectly
And ev'rything is just the way that it should be
Still there are times
when my heart feels like breaking
And anywhere is where I'd rather be.
Oh and in the night time
I know that it's the right time
To hold you close and say I love you so
To have someone to share with
And someone I can care with
And that is why I wanted you to know
Sometimes I feel like a sad song
Like I'm all alone without you,

Sometimes I feel like a sad song
Like I'm all alone without you, without you,

Lady, are you crying, do the tears belong to me
Did you think our time together was all gone
Lady, you've been dreaming, I'm as close as I can be
And I swear to you our time has just begun

Close your eyes and rest your weary mind
I promise I will stay right here beside you
Today our lives were joined, became entwined
I wish that you could know how much I love you

Lady, are you happy, do you feel the way I do
Are there meanings that you've never seen before
Lady, my sweet lady, I just can't believe it's true
And it's like I've never, ever loved before

(Chorus)

Lady, are you crying, do the tears belong to me
Did you think our time together was all gone
Lady, my sweet lady, I'm as close as I can be
And I swear to you our time has just begun

Perhaps love
is like a resting place
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will
bring you home
Perhaps love is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer
It wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself
And don't know what to do
The memory of love will
see you through
Oh love to some
is like a cloud
To some as strong as steel
For some a way of living
For some a way to feel
And some say
love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say
love is everything
Some say they don't know
Perhaps love
is like the ocean
Full of conflict full of pain
Like a fire
when it's cold outside
Thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of
love will be of you

And some say
love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say
love is everything
Some say they don't know
Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict full of pain
Like a fire when
it's cold outside
Thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of
love will be of you

It’s funny how you sound as though you’re right next door When you’re really half a world away I just can’t seem to find the words I’m looking for To say the things that I want to say I can’t remember when I felt so close to you It’s almost more than I can bear And though I seem half a million miles from you You are in my heart and living there And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see It’s the same old sun up in the sky And your voice in my ear is like heaven to me Like the breezes here in old Shanghai There are lovers who walk hand in hand in the park And lovers who walk all alone There are lovers who lie unafraid in the dark And lovers who long for home Oh, I couldn’t leave you even if I wanted to You’re in my dreams and always near And especially when I sing the songs I wrote for you You are in my heart and living there And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see It’s the same old sun up in the sky And your face in my dreams is like heaven to me Like the breezes here in old Shanghai Shanghai breezes cool and clearing evening’s sweet caress Shanghai breezes soft and gentle remind me of your tenderness And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see It’s the same old sun up in the sky And your love in my life is like heaven to me Like the breezes here in old Shanghai And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see It’s the same old sun up in the sky And your love in my life is like heaven to me Like the breezes here in old Shanghai Just like the breezes here in old Shanghai

He was born in the Bitteroot Valley
In the early morning rain
Wild geese over the water
Headin' north and home again

Bringin' a warm wind from the south
Bringin' the first taste of the spring
His mother took him to her breast
And softly she did sing

CHORUS:
Oh Montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family
And a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart
Give him a light in his eyes
Give him the wild wind for a brother
And the wild Montana Skies

His mother died that summer
And he never learned to cry
He never knew his father
And he never did ask why

He never knew the answers
That would make an easy way
But he learned to know the wilderness
And to be a man that way

His mother's brother took him in
To his family and his home
Gave him a hand that he could lean on
And a strength to call his own

And he learned to be a farmer
And he learned to love the land
And he learned to read the seasons
And he learned to make a stand

CHORUS
On the eve of his 2lst birthday
He set out on his own
He was 30 years and runnin'
When he found his way back home

Ridin' a storm across the mountains
And an aching in his heart
Said he came to turn the pages
And to make a brand new start

Now he never told a story
Of the time that he was gone
Some say he was a lawyer
Some say he was a John

There was somethin' in the city
That he said he couldn't breathe
And there was somethin' in the country
That he said he couldn't leave

CHORUS
Now some say he was crazy
And they're glad that he is gone
But some of us will miss him
And we'll try to carry on

Giving a voice to the forest
Giving a voice to the dawn
Giving a voice to the wilderness
And the land that he lived on

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go,
I'm standing here outside your door,
I hate to wake you up to say good-bye.
But the dawn is breakin',
It's early morn,
The taxi's waitin'
He's blowin' his horn,
Already I'm so lonesome I could die.

So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around,
I tell you now they don't mean a thing.
Ev'ry place I go I'll think of you,
Ev'ry song I sing I'll sing for you,
When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring.

So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

Now the time has come to leave you,
One more time let me kiss you,
Then close your eyes I'll be on my way.
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone,
About the times I won't have to say:

Kiss me and smile for me.
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh, babe, I hate to go.
I'm leavin' on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

Pulled into Nazareth, feeling 'bout half past dead
Just need a place where I can lay my head
Hey mister can you tell me where a girl might find a bed?
He just grinned, s
my hand, 'no' was all he said

Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
and put the load right on me

I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side
I said, 'Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown'
She said, 'I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around'



Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day
'Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?'
He said, 'Do me a favor, son, woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee company?'



Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog
He said, 'I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog'
I said, 'Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man'
He said, 'That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can'


Catch a cannon ball now, t'take me down the line
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone

You fill up my senses
당신은 내 마음을 풍요롭게 해줍니다
Like a night in a forest
숲속에서 맞이하는 밤처럼
Like the mountains in springtime
봄날의 포근한 산처럼
Like a walk in the rain
빗속에서 걷는것처럼
Like a storm in the desert
사막에서 폭풍우처럼
Like a sleepy blue ocean
고요한 푸른 바다처럼
You fill up my senses
당신은 내 마음을 풍요롭게 해줍니다
Come fill me again
게속 풍요롭게 해주세요

Come let me love you
당신을 사랑하겠어요
Let me give my life to you
내 삶을 당신에게 바칠 수 있도록
Let me drown in your laughter
당신의 웃음 속에 빠질 수 있도록
Let me die in your arms
당신의 품안에서 죽을 수 있도록
Let me lay down beside you
당신의 옆에 누울 수 있도록
Let me always be with you
당신과 언제나 함께 할 수 있도록
Come let me love you
당신을 사랑하게 해주세요
Come love me again
다시 한번 사랑하도록 해주세요

Let me give my life to you
내 삶을 당신에게 바칠 수 있도록
Come let me love you
당신을 사랑하게 해 주세요
Come love me again
다시 사랑해 주세요
You fill up my senses
당신은 내 마음을 풍요롭게 해줍니다

Like a night in a forest
숲속에서 맞이하는 밤처럼
Like the mountains in springtime
봄날의 포근한 산처럼
Like a walk in the rain
빗속에서 걷는것처럼
Like a storm in the desert
사막에서 폭풍우처럼
Like a sleepy blue ocean
고요한 푸른 바다처럼
You fill up my senses
당신은 내 마음을 풍요롭게 해줍니다
Come fill me again
게속 풍요롭게 해주세요

To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean
To ride on the crest of the wild raging storm
To work in the service of life and the living
In search of the answers to questions unknown
To be part of the movement and part of the growing
Part of beginning to understand

CHORUS
Aye Calypso
The place's you've been to
The things that you've shown us
The stories you tell
Aye Calypso
I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you
So long and so well


Like the dolphin who guides you
You bring us beside you
To light up the darkness and show us the way
For though we are strangers in your silent world
To live on the land we must learn from the sea
To be true as the tide
And free as a wind-swell
Joyful and loving in letting it be

CHORUS
Aye Calypso
The place's you've been to
The things that you've shown us
The stories you tell
Aye Calypso
I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you
So long and so well

In the port of Amsterdam there's a sailor who sings
Of the dreams that he brings from the wide open sea.
In the port of Amsterdam there's a sailor who sleeps
While the river bank weeps to the old willow tree.
In the port of Amsterdam there's a sailor who dies
Full of beer, full of cries in a drunkin' down fight.
But in the port of Amsterdam there's a sailor who's born
On a muggy, hot morn by the dawns early light.

In the port of Amsterdam where the sailors all meet
There's a sailor who eats only fish-heads and tails.
He will show you his teeth that have rotted too soon.
That can swallow the moon that can haul up the sails.
And he asks to the cook with his arms open wide.
Bring me more fish, put it down by my side.
And he wants so to belch, but he's too full to try.
So he gets up and he laughs and he zips up his fly.

In the port of Amsterdam you can see sailors dance.
Haunches bursting their pants, binding woman to paunch.
They've forgotten the tune that their whiskey voice croaks.
And they're aplitting the night with the roar of their jokes.

And they turn and they dance and they laugh and they lust.
To the rats it sounds of the accordion burst.
Then it's out into the night with their pride in their pants.
With a slut that they tow underneath the street lamps.

In the port of Amsterdam there's a sailor who drinks.
And he drinks and he drinks and he drinks once again.
He drinks to the health of the whores of Amsterdam.
Who have promised their love to a thousand other men.
And they darken their bodies and their virtue long gone
For a few dirty coins. And then when he can't go on
He plants his nose in the sky And he wipes it up above
And he splits like I cry for an unfaithful love.
In the port of Amsterdam.
In the port of Amsterdam.
In the port of Amsterdam.
