Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
Le paradis, je suis au paradis,
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak ;
Et mon coeur bats si fort que j'ai du mal à parler
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
Et il semble que j'ai trouvé le bonheur que je cherchais
When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek.
Quand nous sommes ensemble dehors, dansant joue contre joue.

Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
Le paradis, je suis au paradis,
And the cares that hang around me through the week
Et les soucis qui flottent autour de moi pendant la semaine
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
Semblent disparaître comme le moment chanceux d'un joueur
When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek.
Quand nous sommes ensemble, dansant joue contre joue.

Oh ! I love to climb a mountain,
Oh ! J'aime gravir une montagne
And to reach the highest peak,
Et atteindre le plus haut sommet
But it doesn't thrill me half as much
Mais ça me procure la moitié des frissons que je ressens
As dancing cheek to cheek.
Quand nous dansons joue contre joue

Oh ! I love to go out fishing
Oh ! J'aime aller pêcher
In a river or a creek,
Dans une rivière ou une crique
But I don't enjoy it half as much
Mais cette joie est la moitié de celle que j'aie
As dancing cheek to cheek.
Quand nous dansons joue contre joue

Dance with me
Danses avec moi
I want my arm about you ;
Je veux mes bras prés de toi
The charm about you
Ton charme
Will carry me through to Heaven
Me conduira au paradis

I'm in Heaven,
Le paradis, je suis au paradis,
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak ;
Et mon coeur bats si fort que j'ai du mal à parler,
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
Et je sens que j'ai trouvé le bonheur que je cherchais
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Quand nous sommes ensemble dehors, dansant joue contre joue

FLY ME TO THE MOON

"Fly Me to the Moon", originally titled "In Other Words", is a popular song written in 1954 by Bart Howard. Kaye Ballard made the first recording of the song in 1954. Since then it has become a frequently recorded jazz standard often featured in popular culture. Frank Sinatra's 1964 version was closely associated with the Apollo missions to the Moon. In 1999 The USA based Songwriters Hall of Fame recognized the importance of "Fly Me to the Moon" by inducting it as a "Towering Song"[1] which is an award "...presented each year to the creators of an individual song that has influenced our culture in a unique way over many years.”[

Fly Me To The Moon (Emmène Moi Jusqu'à La Lune)

Fly me to the moon
Emmène-moi jusqu'à la Lune
Let me play among the stars
Laisse-moi jouer parmi les étoiles
Let me see what spring is like
Laisse-moi voir à quoi ressemble le printemps
On Jupiter and Mars
Sur Jupiter et Mars
In other words, hold my hand
En d'autres mots, prends ma main
In other words, baby kiss me
En d'autres mots, bébé embrasse-moi

Fill my heart with song
Emplis mon coeur d'une chanson
And let me sing for ever more
Et laisse-moi chanter éternellement
You are all I long for
Tu es tout ce que je désire,
All I worship and adore
Tout ce que je respecte et adore
In other words, please be true
En d'autres mots, s'il te plaît soit sincère
In other words, I love you !
En d'autres mots, je t'aime !

my kind of town

"My Kind of Town" or "My Kind of Town (Chicago Is)" is a popular song composed by Jimmy Van Heusen, with lyrics by Sammy Cahn.[1] It was originally part of the musical score for Robin and the 7 Hoods, a 1964 musical film starring several members of the Rat Pack.[2] It was nominated for the 1964 Academy Award for Best Original Song but lost to "Chim Chim Cher-ee" from Mary Poppins.[3] Although the song predated the Grammy Award Best Original Song for a Motion Picture category, the entire score was nominated for the 1964 Grammy Award in the category Best Original Score Written for A Motion Picture, but it lost to the eponymously titled Mary Poppins score.[4] Frank Sinatra recorded several versions which have appeared on many of his albums. Also, many artists have performed the song as a tribute to Sinatra in posthumous tribute albums. In addition, the song had been recorded by many other artists prior to Sinatra's death. The lyrics, which praise the city of Chicago for its people and institutions, repeat the phrase My Kind of Town several times, usually in a line that says "My kind of town, Chicago is".                                                                                                                                                                                                      Mon Genre De Ville Hey, ça n'arrive qu'à un gars comme moi Et dans une ville comme celle-ci Alors puis-je vous dire avec reconnaissance Pendant que je vous envoie chacun un baiser C'est mon genre de ville, Chicago c'est Mon genre de ville, Chicago c'est Mon genre de gens, aussi Des gens qui te sourient en retour Et chaque fois que je m'éloigne, Chicago me Rappelle à la maison, Chicago est La raison pour laquelle je sourie comme un clown C'est mon genre de ville Mon genre de ville, Chicago c'est Mon genre de ville, Chicago c'est Mon genre d'activités grouillantes Et il y a tout ce jazz Et chaque fois que je m'en vais, Chicago S'accroche à moi, Chicago c'est L'édifice Wrigley, Chicago c'est Le Union Stockyard, Chicago c'est Une ville qui ne te laissera pas tomber C'est mon genre de ville

For once in my life

"For Once in My Life" is a swing song written by Ron Miller and Orlando Murden for Motown Records' Jobete publishing company, and first recorded in 1966. It was written and first recorded as a slow ballad. There are differing accounts of its earliest versions, although it seems that it was first recorded by Barbara McNair, but first released in 1966 by Jean DuShon. Other early versions of the ballad were issued by The Four Tops, The Temptations, and Tony Bennett whose recording was the first to reach the pop charts. The most familiar and successful version of "For Once in My Life" is an uptempo arrangement by Stevie Wonder, recorded in 1967. Wonder's version, issued on Motown's Tamla label, was a top-three hit in the United States in late 1968 and early 1969. The song was included on the soundtrack to the 2001 film See Spot Run and the soundtrack to 2010's Shrek Forever After. Early recordings Miller and Murden wrote the song in 1965 as a slow ballad, and passed it around various singers so that it could be tried out and refined. Among those who, it is claimed, heard and performed the song in about 1966 – but did not record it – are Jo Thompson, a club singer in Detroit; Sherry Kaye, who may have performed it in a musical revue at the Gem Theater;[1] and Johnny Hartman, who turned it down.[2] Tony Bennett Also in 1967, "For Once in My Life" became one of Tony Bennett's more successful forays into contemporary songs. His version of the song peaked at number 91 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart, (#8 on the Easy Listening survey) and was the title track of his album For Once in My Life. "For Once in My Life" remained in Bennett's concert repertoire into the 2000s. In 2006 Bennett teamed up with Stevie Wonder to record a ballad tempo version for his Duets: An American Classic album, for which Bennett and Wonder received a Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals. Bennett also performed it on the Grand Finale of American Idol 6. Stevie Wonder Stevie Wonder's version was recorded at about the same time as The Temptations' in the summer of 1967. However, Berry Gordy did not like Wonder's version, an upbeat rendition produced by Henry Cosby. Gordy vetoed the single's release, and the recording was shelved. Billie Jean Brown, the head of the Motown Quality Control department, finally coerced Gordy into allowing Wonder's version to be released in October 1968.[14] Contrary to Gordy's instincts, "For Once in My Life" was a highly successful record, peaking at number-two on both the Billboard Pop Singles and Billboard R&B Singles (it was held off from the number-one spot on each chart by another Motown single Gordy had originally vetoed, Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine"). "For Once in My Life", issued by Tamla with "Angie Girl" as its b-side, was later included as the title track on Wonder's For Once in My Life album. Wonder's version of the track is often singled out by bassists as the greatest example of James Jamerson's playing style, with no two bars of music played alike during the whole song; a completely improvisational line that is both melodic and complementary to Wonder's vocal. Background vocals are by The Originals (Freddie Gorman, Walter Gaines, Hank Dixon, C.P. Spencer) and The Andantes (Jackie Hicks, Marlene Barrow, Louvain Demps), and instrumentation by The Funk Brothers.

For once in my life
Pour une fois dans ma vie
I have someone who needs me
J'ai quelqu'un qui a besoin de moi
Someone I've needed so long
Quelqu'un qui me manquait depuis si longtemps
For once unafraid
Pour une fois sans peur
I can go where life leads me
Je peux aller où la vie me mène
And somehow I know I'll be strong
Et quoiqu'il arrive je sais que je serais fort

For once I can touch
Pour une fois je peux caresser
What my heart used to dream of
Ce que mon coeur autrefois rêvait
Long before I knew
Longtemps avant que je sache
Someone warm like you
Que quelqu'un d'aussi bon que toi
Could make my dreams come true
Pouvait réaliser mes rêves

For once in my life
Pour une fois dans ma vie
I won't let sorrow hurt me
Je ne laisserai pas la peine m'atteindre
Not like it's hurt me before, oh
Pas m'atteindre comme avant
For once I've got something
Pour une fois j'ai quelque chose
But I don't want desert me
Mais je ne m'abandonnerai pas
'Cause I'm not alone anymore
Parce que je ne suis plus seul

For once I can say
Pour une fois je peux le dire
This is mine, you can't take it
C'est mon amour, vous ne le prendrez pas
As long as I've got love I know I can make it
Aussi longtemps que j'aimerais je sais que je peux le faire
For once in my life
Pour une fois dans ma vie
I've got someone who needs me
J'ai quelqu'un qui a besoin de moi
