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)

It's a little bit funny, Lord, this feeling inside
Es ist schon ein bisschen komisch, Herr, dieses Gefühl in mir
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
Ich gehöre nicht zu denen, die es leicht verstecken können
I don't have much money but, boy, if I did
Ich habe nicht viel Geld, aber, Junge, wenn ich es hätte
I'd buy a big mansion where we both could live
Würde ich eine große Villa kaufen, in der wir beide leben könnten
If, if, if I was a sculpture, Lord, honey, but then again, no
Wenn, wenn, wenn ich eine Skulptur wäre, Herr, Schatz, aber dann wieder, nein
(Then again no, no)
(Dann wieder, nein, nein)
Or a man who makes potions in a travelin' show
Oder ein Mann, der Zaubertränke in einer Wanderausstellung macht
I know it's not much, I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
Ich weiß, es ist nicht viel, ich weiß, es ist nicht viel, aber es ist das Beste, was ich tun kann
You gave me a gift, Lord, and I'm gon' sing it for you

Wenn, wenn, (wenn) wenn ich auf einem Dach wäre, würde ich meine Schuhe wegkicken
(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 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
(These things I do, Lord)
(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

Quand tu viens au monde, monde, monde
If, if, (if) if I was on a rooftop I'd kick off my shoes, oh yeah
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, people like me
C'est pour les gens comme toi et les gens comme moi
I wanna, wanna keep turnin' on, so excuse me, so excuse me
Je veux, je veux continuer à chanter alors excuse-moi, alors excuse-moi
So excuse me for forgetting, but these things I do
Alors excuse-moi d'oublier, mais ces choses que je fais
(These things I do, Lord)
(Ces choses que je fais, Seigneur)
You see, you see I've forgotten if they're green or blue, baby
Tu vois, tu vois j'ai oublié si elles sont bonnes ou mauvaises
And anyway the things is, anyway the thing is, what I really mean
De toute façon, de toute façon, ce que je veux vraiment dire
You are the sweetest eyes, the sweetest eyes
Tes yeux sont les plus doux, les plus doux
The sweetest eyes I've ever seen
Les plus doux que je n'aie jamais vus
I want you to go back, go back and tell everybody
Je veux que tu y retournes, que tu y retournes et que tu dises à tout le monde
That Billy Paul's got a song
Que Billy Paul a une chanson
(Billy Paul's got a song)
(Billy Paul a une chanson)
I'm, I'm gonna sit upon a, a rooftop and kick my shoes off
Je vais, je vais m'asseoir sur un, un toit et enlever mes chaussures
I'm gonna write it (write it) write it (write it) write it (write it)
Je vais l'écrire (l'écrire) l'écrire (l'écrire) l'écrire (l'écrire)

I'm gonna, got to, got to write me a simple song for everybody
Je vais, je dois, je dois écrire une chanson simple pour tout le monde
Because this is my song
Parce que c'est ma chanson
(This is my song)
(C'est ma chanson)
It may be quite, quite simple but that's the way 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 en mots, en mots
You come on back, you try to try again, try again
Tu reviens, tu essaies d'essayer encore, encore
Tell everybody that Billy Paul's got a song

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

Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it
Tiens-le, tiens-le, tiens-le, tiens-le
Get back, get, got, oh, ho
Reviens, reviens, reviens, 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

How wonderful life is

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
