Here is an updated version (as of 4/26) of the lyrics for Mlle. Zhivago, translated (when necessary) into English. Some of the words are still probably not correct, so, again, any suggestions are greatly welcome!
--------------------------------------
1. Demain n'existe pas (Tomorrow Doesn't Exist)
Never, never give up
Find a breath, a reflection,
Which returns us to our solitary selves
Never be guided by desires
Find in a smile, a new reason to be
To heal, to love
Infinitely, passionately, here now
(Refrain)
Tomorrow doesn't exist
Time collapses into the present time
Nothing that you see
Will pass twice
Tomorrow doesn't exist
Another chance today
Is written within your voice
One which gets one lost
The other which leads you to yourself
Avoid the past
Don't linger there any longer
That the heavy memories make a detour
Know that beyond the oaths
Of our childhood dreams
Destiny only writes what one tells oneself
Secretly, intensively, passionately
Tomorrow doesn't exist
Time collapses into the present time
Nothing that you see
Will pass twice
Tomorrow doesn't exist
Another chance today
Appears within your voice
One which gets one lost
The other which leads you to yourself
Tomorrow doesn't exist
Time collapses into the present time
Nothing that you see
Will pass twice
Tomorrow doesn't exist
Another chance today
Is written within your voice
One which gets one lost
The other which leads you to yourself
Another chance written
One which misleads you
The other which leads you to yourself
-------------------------------------
2.Toccami (Touch me)
Who knows when it will be
One hour, who knows
Maybe just a minute
Since you have looked in me
Time seems to
Fade away in absolute
Getting closer to you
I feel the fever that
Rooms with me running aflame
Touch me
Come on, burn my skin
Touch me
Again
Talk to me
In a weird language
That only I can understand
Who knows where it comes from
The feeling that
I arrive at another life
I knew you
But didn't know if
It would ever put us together again
This destiny that
Dances in front of us
The last step of a love story
Touch me
Don't let the time take control
Take me
My hand
Touch me
Make love with the time
Defy it, avoid it if you can
Touch me
Come on, burn my skin
Touch me
Again
Talk to me
In a weird language
That only I can understand
------------------------------------------
3. Llora (Cry)
Cry without tears, cry with your smile, cry and all will pass you.
Cry and you will let fall this immense pain, cry to get some peace.
Cry and you will hear yourself, cry as I sing, forget what kills your heart,
Cry and we will share the pain that your body did not have to discover,
Cry don't be afraid, I am an honest soul, cry friend, my friend.
Let it go, you don't have love, leave your grief in a corner, open the door and let's go.
Why die, go forward, if you want air and happiness, freedom.
Sit here with me, tell me about your dreams, those that the children draw so happily
Sit a moment in silence and fight back the sky, that nobody hurts you, that no one ever condemns you until the moment of death,
Let it go, you don't have love, leave your grief in a corner, open the door let's go.
Why die, go forward, if you want air and happiness, freedom.
Let it go, you don't have love, leave your grief in a corner, open the door let's go.
Let it go, you don't have love, a man is not a man if he cannot love.
-----------------------------------------
4. Russian Fairy Tale
Inexplicable
This crooked road that
Fate takes to surprise us
Almost improbable
Yet I'm sitting
At a meal where one serves the wine of God
Made from an Earth, from a loving sky
A true star moment
This boreal instant
When one feels that the wind changes
And takes the snow by the hand
Diverts its path
To open a grand following day...
Evenings covered in frost
Like a pressing on paper
Sometimes the other one leaves revived
Intense speech
Awards me this dance
The lost prince has made his entrance
A diamond lands like a secret
A true star moment
This boreal instant
When one feels that the wind changes
And takes the snow by the hand
Diverts its path
To open a grand following day...
A true star moment
This ideal instant
When we sing the chant of sirens
Brought to land
An ephemeral ship
An immortal memory...
It's my Russian fairy-tale
-------------------------------------------
5. Mlle. Hyde
Share my thoughts if you will
And guide me through
I am the kind of mind
Who's torn in two
Doctor Jekyll or Hyde
Which one, just choose
Know I can be from hell
Or Moulin rouge
I'll be yours
And when you'll have me
You'll be cursed
Because you love me
I've rehearsed
Every word of the scene
Refrain
Don't approach me
Don't touch my skin
I will burn you alive
I've regretted
Though I hate it
I am Mademoiselle Hyde
I swear I always try to stop the game
When it's goodness I play I get checkmate
And I am just about to beat the beast
It's half the nature I fight that I release
Hold me tight and maybe this time
I'll escape the dark evil side, if you dare
I'm ready to surrender
Now approach me
Now touch my skin
Now I'll keep you alive
I regret it
Though I hate it
I am Mademoiselle Hyde
Don't approach me
Don't touch my skin
Now I'll burn you alive
You approached me
You touched my skin
Now you are Mister Hyde
--------------------------------------------
6. Desperate Housewife
My body aches
And my brain denies
My stomach hurts
But I better hide
Good days are gone
As my nights turn light
Where do I go
Why do I fight
Running and rushing every second of my life
Is this the dream I had? I do not realize
Stop! I will not take this life
War or kill to survive
Give me some love that lasts
Stop! I look at my poor heart
It skips a beat and
I am a desperate housewife
The journey turns
To become a liar
So fast we learn
Til we wear fake smile
So when we crave
For a true desire
All we can do is buy and buy and buy
Possessing earning winning every single time
We fight an emptiness that leaves us all behind
Stop I will not take this life
War or kill to survive
Give me some love that lasts
Give me some loving
Now stop I look at my poor heart
It skips a beat and
I am a desperate housewife
Stop I will not take this life
War or kill to survive
Give me some love that lasts
Give me some love and
I'll stop I still can change this life
I will love and learn
To be a wonderful housewife
To be a wonderful housewife
To be a wonderful housewife
-------------------------------------------
7. Lou
A little fairy, a little girl, a little star she is
Dancing as if she had wings there
And sings, sings like me
With a light soul
When I look at her I see a heart that
Already flies up above
Flies the world looking for freedom
When I lose myself in her thoughts,
I ask and she answers me
With her sweet blue eyes
Deep
A little fairy, a little girl, a little star she is
An angel that
Falls without my expecting
A gift in itself
True love she is
When she falls asleep in my arms
I feel on my face
Tears of joy
And a full smile
And when she wakes up then, and runs toward me
I feel that life
Finally it is all you,
Is Lou
Is Lou
----------------------------------------
8. Ever Ever Land
I didn't think it could happen
I never thought I'd be here
Now that I feel it I wonder
Could there be a safer place
Try, try and picture this
Fields of joy and bliss
A nation full of rights
CHORUS
Ever ever land
Is a place between my brain and my soul
Ever ever land
Is a dream I dream to make me feel whole
Ever ever land
When I need to be at peace it is the space
I keep to travel with my mind
Floating or flying just choose it
Silence and music to share
Lower your pain you can't add it
Simply pure breathable air
Now, just imagine this
Only joy and bliss
To go through your life
CHORUS
Ever ever land
Is a place between my brain and my soul
Ever ever land
Is a dream I dream to make me feel whole
Ever ever land
When I need to be at peace it is the space
I keep to travel with my mind
If you don't believe in this
Close your eyes and take a risk
Wish for something you have always wanted
Do it, give it all you've got
Dreams are just behind a thought
If you mean it with all of your heart
Ever ever land
Is a place between my brain and my soul
Ever ever land
Is a dream I dream to make me feel whole
Ever ever land
When I need to be at peace it is the space
I keep to travel with my mind
Ever ever land
You are welcome to step in at all times
Ever ever land
You don't have to pack or check in your bag
Ever ever land
You will soon decide to move in
Since it is a no man's land without a wall
Somewhere between here and always
Somehow a new piece of sky
---------------------------------------
9. Mr. President
Let's try to make a plan
To save our children`s Earth
How can we change all minds
And stop this madness
Today is our last chance
To keep our planet safe
Power and money will not follow us to the grave
Hey Mr. President
How will you save your loved ones from this now?
Tell me now "Yes we can"
Yes we can
Hey Mr. President
How will you make your mother proud and safe
change and make history
Music is all I have
To write a whole new chart
Will you hear every note
I say to your heart
Tell me how can we help
To make a better day
You know I just can not help
Believe in what you say
Hey Mr. President
How will you save your loved ones from this now
Tell me now "Yes we can"
Yes we can
Hey Mr. President
How will you make your mother proud and safe
change and make history
The situation is serious
Everywhere around the planet
we need to raise all voices
we need to change all minds
Temperatures rising
Winters are getting longer
Who cares? Well I do
Maybe you do too?
It`s not for me or you
It's for our children
Our children
Hey Mr. President
How will you save your loved ones from this now
Tell me now "Yes we can"
Yes we can
Hey Mr. President
How will you make your mother proud and safe
Now with you I know we can
Proud and safe
Now with you I know we can
Proud and safe
Now with you I know we can
-------------------------------------------
10. Mama
She spends a lifetime taking care of you
She slept tight just a night or two
She always hide her pain behind a smile
Mothers never cry
As you were growing up you made her proud
You knew both of your hearts were tied
That special love you share will last way beyond this life
Mothers never die
Mamaya
I'm a better person thanks to your love
I'm a better soul since I am your child
This world is a safer ground
When you hold my hand
I fly, mamaya
I have not seen time go by, mamaya
In the mirror of your eyes I see life
Aging with natural grace
Let me hold you, mamaya
When I am lost you guide my every step
And you dry every tear I shed
You are the woman I want to become
Fair, loyal yet strong
Tell me the secrets of your shining smile
Of every virtue you deny
The patience you have helped me with
Help me through the rain
Spare me most the pain
Mamaya
I'm a better person thanks to your love
I'm a better soul since I am your child
This world is a safer ground
When you hold my hand I fly, mamaya
I have not seen time go by, mamaya
In the mirror of your eyes I see life
Aging with natural grace
Mamaya lyublyu tebya (mama I love you)
Mamaya lyublyu tebya (mama I love you)
------------------------------------------------
11. Ascolta la voce (Vocalization)
Listen to the voice
Listen to the voice
Listen to the voice
Listen to the voice
---------------------------------------------------
12. Tomorrow is a Lie
Never, we should not say never
We shouldn't plan another day
The day is here to make it all clear
Never, we should not surrender
Or silence the desire blinded by our fear
When faith carries our dreams
So secretly, intensively, passionately
Tomorrow is a lie
Time only stands for here and now
What you see passing by
Is your only chance to fly
Tomorrow is a lie
No matter what your dreams are
You cannot wait in line
Today's the day
Believe in what you say
Always, keep your heart in action
Walk your life through passion
Think about the dream
We are what we think
Always do things with devotion
Your feelings are emotion
A shining light was spread
Through and inside your head
Intensively, passionately, evidently
Tomorrow is a lie
Time only stands for here and now
What you see passing by
Is your only chance to fly
Tomorrow is a lie
No matter what your dreams are
You cannot wait in line
Today's the day
Believe in what you say
Tomorrow is a lie
Time only stands for here and now
What you see passing by
Is your only chance to fly
Tomorrow is a lie
No matter what your dreams are
You cannot wait in line
Today's the day
Believe in what you say
Believe in what you say
--------------------------------------------
13. Love, like a dream
I see myself in your eyes, like in the mirror,
I'm afraid of losing my reflection in it.
I don't want you to be simply a visitor
In the darkness of nights and in my fate.
I love as one loves only one time,
As if there weren't any sunlight before us.
You led me from worries and petty quarrels
And you found the keys of happiness for me
You found them for me
Love, like a dream
The chimes of hearts like crystals
Your magic "love"
I repeat like a soft echo.
Love, like a dream
Filled my house with happiness
But in defiance of the rules of dreams
Let it not be finished
I forgive the Loneliness and Sadness,
You said that I would not return there
It happens thus only in a sweet dream
But we have love in reality here and now.
I hope I do not get lost in your eyes
I hope we won't change our love for loneliness.
By an incredible price and by my dream
I deserve this happiness with you
To be always with you.
Love, like a dream
The chimes of hearts like crystals
Your magic "love"
I repeat like a soft echo.
Love, like a dream
Filled my house with happiness
But in defiance of the rules of dreams
Let it not be finished
