Your Song
Brian Kelly Mcknight
It's a little bit funny, Lord, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but, boy, if I did
I'd buy a big mansion where we both could live
If, if, if I was a sculpture, Lord, honey, but then again, no
(Then again no, no)
Or a man who makes potions in a travelin' show
I know it's not much, I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
You gave me a gift, Lord, and I'm gon' sing it for you
And you can tell everybody that this is your song
(This is your song)
It may be quite, quite simple but that's how it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
What I wrote down in words, words
How wonderful life is
When you're in the world, world, world
If, if, (if) if I was on a rooftop I'd kick off my shoes
(Kick off my shoes, kick off my shoes off)
I'll write a few verses and then I get the blues
But the sun's been quite, quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you and people like me
I wanna, I wanna keep turnin' on
So excuse me for forgetting, but these things I do, Lord
(These things I do, Lord)
You see, you see I've forgotten if they're green or blue
Anyway the things is, anyway the thing is, what I really mean
Your are the sweetest eyes, you've got the sweetest eyes
The clearest eyes I've ever seen, I hope you go back
I hope you, I hope you go back and tell everybody
That this is your song
(This is your song)
It may be quite, quite simple, but now that's how it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
But I wrote down in words, Lord, words
I'm doin' it for how wonderful it is
When you're in the world, world, world
If, if, (if) if I was on a rooftop I'd kick off my shoes, oh yeah
(Kick off my shoes, kick off my shoes off)
I'll write a few verses, and then I get the blues
But the sun's been quite, quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you, people like me
I wanna, wanna keep turnin' on, so excuse me, so excuse me
So excuse me for forgetting, but these things I do
(These things I do, Lord)
You see, you see I've forgotten if they're green or blue, baby
And anyway the things is, anyway the thing is, what I really mean
You are the sweetest eyes, the sweetest eyes
The sweetest eyes I've ever seen
I want you to go back, go back and tell everybody
That Billy Paul's got a song
(Billy Paul's got a song)
I'm, I'm gonna sit upon a, a rooftop and kick my shoes off
I'm gonna write it (write it) write it (write it) write it (write it)
I might come out with the Gospel (Gospel)
The Blues (Blues)
The Jazz (Jazz)
The Rock and Roll
I'm gonna, got to, got to write me a simple song for everybody
Because this is my song
(This is my song)
It may be quite, quite simple but that's the way it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
What I wrote down in words, words
You come on back, you try to try again, try again
Tell everybody that Billy Paul's got a song
(Billy Paul's got a song)
It may be quite, quite simple but that's how it's done, baby
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
What I wrote down in words
Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it
Get back, get, got, oh, ho
It's a little bit funny, Lord, this feeling inside
C'est un peu drôle, Seigneur, ce sentiment intérieur
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
Je ne suis pas de ceux qui peuvent se cacher facilement
I don't have much money but, boy, if I did
Je n'ai pas beaucoup d'argent, mais mec, si j'en avais
I'd buy a big mansion where we both could live
J'achèterais un grand manoir où on pourrait vivre tous les deux
If, if, if I was a sculpture, Lord, honey, but then again, no
Si, si, si j'étais une sculpture, Seigneur, chérie, mais là encore, non
(Then again no, no)
(Là encore, non, non)
Or a man who makes potions in a travelin' show
Ou un homme qui fait des potions dans des spectacles itinérants
I know it's not much, I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
Je sais que ce n'est pas beaucoup, je sais que ce n'est pas beaucoup, mais c'est le mieux que je puisse faire
You gave me a gift, Lord, and I'm gon' sing it for you
Tu m'as fait un cadeau, Seigneur, et je vais le chanter pour toi
And you can tell everybody that this is your song
Et tu peux dire à tout le monde que c'est ta chanson
(This is your song)
(C'est ta chanson)
It may be quite, quite simple but that's how it's done
C'est peut-être très, très simple mais c'est comme ça que ça se passe
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
J'espère que ça ne te dérange pas, j'espère que ça ne te dérange pas
What I wrote down in words, words
Ce que j'ai écrit avec des mots, des mots
How wonderful life is
Combien la vie est merveilleuse
When you're in the world, world, world
Quand on est dans le monde, le monde, le monde
If, if, (if) if I was on a rooftop I'd kick off my shoes
Si, si, (si) si j'étais sur un toit, j'enlèverais mes chaussures
(Kick off my shoes, kick off my shoes off)
(J'enlèverais mes chaussures, j'enlèverais mes chaussures)
I'll write a few verses and then I get the blues
J'écrirais quelques vers et puis j'aurais le blues
But the sun's been quite, quite kind while I wrote this song
Mais le soleil a été très, très gentil pendant que j'écrivais cette chanson
It's for people like you and people like me
C'est pour les gens comme toi et les gens comme moi
I wanna, I wanna keep turnin' on
Je veux, je veux continuer à chanter
So excuse me for forgetting, but these things I do, Lord
Alors excuse-moi d'oublier, mais ces choses que je fais, Seigneur
(These things I do, Lord)
(Ces choses que je fais, Seigneur)
You see, you see I've forgotten if they're green or blue
Tu vois, tu vois j'ai oublié si elles sont bonnes ou mauvaises
Anyway the things is, anyway the thing is, what I really mean
De toute façon, de toute façon, ce que je veux vraiment dire
Your are the sweetest eyes, you've got the sweetest eyes
Tes yeux sont les plus doux, tu as les yeux les plus doux
The clearest eyes I've ever seen, I hope you go back
Les yeux les plus clairs que je n'aie jamais vus, j'espère que tu vas repartir
I hope you, I hope you go back and tell everybody

It may be quite, quite simple, but now that's how it's done

I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
J'espère que ça ne te dérange pas, j'espère que ça ne te dérange pas
But I wrote down in words, Lord, words
Mais j'ai écrit en mots, Seigneur, en mots

It's for people like you and people like me
Es ist für Leute wie dich und Leute wie mich
I wanna, I wanna keep turnin' on
Denen ich es weiter vorspielen will
So excuse me for forgetting, but these things I do, Lord
Verzeih mir, dass ich es vergessen habe, aber diese Dinge tue ich, Herr

You see, you see I've forgotten if they're green or blue
Nun, nun, ich habe vergessen, ob sie grün oder blau sind

Your are the sweetest eyes, you've got the sweetest eyes

Ich tue es, weil es so wunderbar ist
When you're in the world, world, world
Wenn du auf der Welt bist, Welt, Welt
If, if, (if) if I was on a rooftop I'd kick off my shoes, oh yeah
Wenn, wenn, (wenn) wenn ich auf einem Dach wäre, würde ich meine Schuhe wegkicken, oh ja
(Kick off my shoes, kick off my shoes off)
(Meine Schuhe wegkicken, meine Schuhe wegkicken)
I'll write a few verses, and then I get the blues
Ich werde ein paar Strophen schreiben und dann bekomme ich den Blues
But the sun's been quite, quite kind while I wrote this song
Aber die Sonne war recht, recht freundlich, während ich dieses Lied schrieb
It's for people like you, people like me
Es ist für Leute wie dich und Leute wie mich
I wanna, wanna keep turnin' on, so excuse me, so excuse me
Denen ich es weiter vorspielen will, also entschuldige mich, also entschuldige mich
So excuse me for forgetting, but these things I do
Verzeih' mir, dass ich es vergessen habe, aber diese Dinge tue ich, Herr
(These things I do, Lord)
(Diese Dinge, tue ich, Herr)
You see, you see I've forgotten if they're green or blue, baby
Nun, nun, ich habe vergessen, ob sie grün oder blau sind
And anyway the things is, anyway the thing is, what I really mean
Wie auch immer das Ding ist, wie auch immer das Ding ist, was ich wirklich meine
You are the sweetest eyes, the sweetest eyes
Deine Augen sind die süßesten, die süßesten Augen
The sweetest eyes I've ever seen
Die süßesten Augen, die ich je gesehen habe
I want you to go back, go back and tell everybody
Ich will, dass du zurückgehst, zurückgehst und allen erzählst
That Billy Paul's got a song
Dass Billy Paul ein Lied hat
(Billy Paul's got a song)
(Billy Paul hat ein Lied)
I'm, I'm gonna sit upon a, a rooftop and kick my shoes off
Ich werde, ich werde auf einem Dach sitzen und meine Schuhe wegkicken
I'm gonna write it (write it) write it (write it) write it (write it)
Ich werd' es schreiben (schreiben), schreiben (schreiben), schreibe (schreiben), schreiben (schreiben)
I might come out with the Gospel (Gospel)

I'm gonna, got to, got to write me a simple song for everybody
Ich werde, ich muss, ich muss ein einfaches Lied für alle schreiben
Because this is my song
Denn dies ist mein Lied
(This is my song)
(Dies ist mein Lied)
It may be quite, quite simple but that's the way it's done
Es mag ganz, ganz einfach sein, aber so ist es nun mal
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
Ich hoffe, es stört dich nicht, ich hoffe, es stört dich nicht
What I wrote down in words, words
Was ich niedergeschrieben habe in Worten, Worten
You come on back, you try to try again, try again
Du kommst zurück, du versuchst es noch mal, versuchst es noch mal
Tell everybody that Billy Paul's got a song
Sagt allen, dass Billy Paul einen Song hat
(Billy Paul's got a song)

It may be quite, quite simple but that's how it's done, baby
Es mag ganz, ganz einfach sein, aber so ist es nun mal
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
Ich hoffe, es stört dich nicht, ich hoffe, es stört dich nicht
What I wrote down in words
Was ich niedergeschrieben habe in Worten
Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it
Warte damit , warte damit, warte damit, warte damit
Get back, get, got, oh, ho
Komm zurück, hol, hol, hab, oh, ho
It's a little bit funny, Lord, this feeling inside
È un po' divertente, Signore, questa sensazione dentro
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
Non sono di quelli che si possono nascondere facilmente, io
I don't have much money but, boy, if I did
Non ho molti soldi, ma ragazzo, se ce li avessi
I'd buy a big mansion where we both could live
Comprerei una casa grande dove potremmo vivere entrambi
If, if, if I was a sculpture, Lord, honey, but then again, no
Se, se, se fossi uno scultore, Signore, dolcezza, ma poi di nuovo, no
(Then again no, no)
(Ma poi di nuovo no, no)
Or a man who makes potions in a travelin' show
O un uomo che fa pozioni in uno spettacolo itinerante
I know it's not much, I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
Lo so che non è molto, ma è il meglio che posso fare
You gave me a gift, Lord, and I'm gon' sing it for you
Mi hai dato un regalo, Signore, e lo canterò per te
And you can tell everybody that this is your song

How wonderful life is
Com'è meravigliosa la vita
When you're in the world, world, world
Quando tu sei nel mondo, mondo, mondo
If, if, (if) if I was on a rooftop I'd kick off my shoes
Se, se, (se) se fossi su una terrazza lancerei le mia scarpe
(Kick off my shoes, kick off my shoes off)
(Lancerei le mie scarpe, lancerei le mie scarpe)
I'll write a few verses and then I get the blues
Scriverò qualche verso e poi mi rattristo
But the sun's been quite, quite kind while I wrote this song

Anyway the things is, anyway the thing is, what I really mean
