SHE IS SHE

(By Georges Moustaki)

She is docile
She is rebellious
She is changing
And yet she is eternal.
She is blue jeans
She is lovely lace
She is pure
She is full of passion.


She is a girl
She is a woman
She is fleeting
She is steady
She is Mozart
She is Ravel
She is passion
She is delicate .

She is today.
She is tomorrow
She is quiet
She is adventurous
She is musk
She is lavender
She is Spain
She is Ireland.

She is consonant
She is vowel
She is tsunami
She is rainbow
She is guitar
She is cello
She is tigress
She is gazelle.

She is chilli
She is cinnamon
She is gun powder
She is prairie fire
One can’t describe her,
SHE IS SHE

Yes,I know it,
The way she is towards me,
Between her and me,
Silence.
And yet, I like her.

Yes,I know it,
The way she is towards me,
Seeming indifference.
And yet, I like her.

Yes,I know it,
The way she is towards me
Unconcerned.
And yet, I like her.

You must believe it
Only I know when she is unhappy,
Only I know she looks at me
Without seeming to look at me.
Only she understands my shyness,
Only I understand her desire to be alone.

Yes,I know it,
Between her and me,
Silence.
Yes, I know it,
Between her and me,
Indifference,
And yet, she is my world

DYING ON THE STAGE

( Dalida)

Oh death,come,
But not when I am alone.
When the curtain one day comes down,
I want that it should come down behind me.
Oh death, come,
But not when I am alone.
I choose everything in my life,
I want to choose my death also.
Some want to die when it is raining,
Others in bright sun light.
Some want to die alone in their bed,
Calmly in their sleep.
But I want to die on the stage in front of the lights.
Yes, I want to die on the stage
My heart open in all its colour.
I want to die painlessly,
In my last appearance on the stage.
I want to die on the stage
Singing till the end.
Oh death, Come,
But not when I am alone.
Oh death, remember
We know each other well.
Oh death, come,
But not when I am alone.
Come on a gala evening
If you want to dance with me.
My life is used to light
I don’t want to leave this world in darkness.
I want to die totally covered with laser lights
Before a packed audience.
I was born on the stage,
I want to die on the stage
