HIGHWAY CALL

VERSE
Don’t try to tie me down, don’t hang my picture on the wall
I see that look in your eye, and you don’t have far to fall
And even this big Montana sky will feel too small when I hear that highway call

VERSE
I’ll just start lookin’ around the bend, it happens time and time again
Keep it friendly let’s be friends, don’t try to rope me in
And I’ll hang my hat on your wall, till I hear that highway call

CHORUS
Oh I think about the time that I’ve wasted,
Lettin’ this old restless heart get in the way
But everytime the smoke cleared, time dried up those tears
And I saddled up and rode away…rode away…. ay ay 

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

CHORUS
Now I think about the times that I’ve wasted,
Lettin’ this old restless heart get in the way
But every time the smoke cleared, time dried up those tears
And I saddled up and rode away…rode away…. 

VERSE
So don’t try to tie me down, don’t hang my picture on the wall
I see that look in your eye, and you don’t have far to fall
Even this big Montana sky will feel too small, yah this big Montana sky’s gonna feel too small, when I hear that highway call, highway call.

DRIVIN’ HOME

VERSE
There’s a four-lane highway, stretched up ahead
People rollin’ 90 miles an hour, and going nowhere
So when you need to slow down, I just turn that car around
And take the back roads thru the country when I’m drivin’ home

VERSE
Sweet country music, on the radio
Playin’ all those old songs we used to know
Ohh, They take me back, to a place not long ago
When we took the back roads thru the country
When we’re drivin’ home

INSTRUMENTAL break

VERSE
Rollin’ hills, deep blue skies, farmer Brown will tip his hat when you drive by
Oh, we’re movin’ so fast, leave your troubles in the past and
Take the back roads thru the country when you’re drivin’ home

J'ai rencontré un garçon,

il m'a cueilli une rose.

Et maintenant, je voudrais, des tulipes et des pensées,
des violettes, des iris,
des pétunias, des bleuets,
maintenant, je voudrais des mélampyres des prés,
des gentianes du lilas, des orchidées.

Maman, j'ai rencontré un garçon
il m'a offert un diamant.

Et maintenant, je voudrais, des agates et des rubis,
des topazes et du jade des lapi-lazuli,
maintenant, je voudrais des opales et des saphirs,
de l'ambre des émeraudes et de l'argent.

Maman j'ai rencontré un garçon
il m'a fait goûter une pomme.

Et maintenant, je voudrais des framboises et des citrons,
des grenades des bananes des nèfles du Japon,
maintenant, je voudrais des pastèques et du melon,
des mandarines et des fruits de la passion

Et c'est sur un tendre baiser que s'achève pour nous l'été

Tous ensemble on s'est amusé, et pourtant j'ai envie de pleurer

Ces sourires sans lendemain ,sont pour moi autant de chagrins

Et c'est sur un tendre baisé que s'achève le temps d'aimer

J’aimerais tant pouvoir retenir

Ces moments de plaisirs.

Si ce soir je ne vais pas danser, je préfère rester à tes cotés

Sur ma main tu poses un baiser, un de ceux qui me fait rêver

Garde moi jusqu'au petit matin dans tes bras j'oublie mes chagrins

Et c'est sur un tendre baisé que pour nous s'achève l'été

J’aimerais tant pouvoir retenir

Ces moments de plaisirs.

Si le temps nous a rattrapés et qu’ainsi s'achève l'été

Jamais je ne pourrais oublier cet espoir qui m’a fait chavirer

Ces sourires sans lendemain, sont pour moi autant de chagrins

Et c'est sur un tendre baisé que s'achève le temps d'aimer

J’aimerais tant pouvoir retenir

Ces moments de plaisirs

Et c'est sur un tendre baiser que pour nous s'achève l'été

Que pour nous s'achève l'été.

English translation : 

A TENDER KISS

It is with a tender kiss, that summer ends for us

all together we had fun, and yet I want to cry

these smiles with no future, are for me just so many sorrows

and it is with a tender kiss, that ends the time to love

I would like so much to hold on to

these moments of pleasure.

if tonight I'm not going dancing, I prefer to stay by your side

on my hand you place a kiss, a kiss to make me dream

Hold me in your arms until the early morning, I forget my sorrows

and it is with a tender kiss, that ends the time to love

I would like so much to hold on to

these moments of pleasure.

if time has caught up with us and this is how summer ends

Never could I forget the hope that bowled me over

these smiles with no future, are for me just so many sorrows

and it is with a tender kiss, that ends the time to love

I would like so much to hold on to

these moments of pleasure

and it is on a tender kiss that for us ends the summer.
