In conjunction with the passing of Donna Summer last week, mention was made of the song Lara and Rick wrote for her. The translated lyrics are provided below; a video of Donna Summer & Bruce Roberts singing "Tant Qu'il Y Aura L'Amour" (As Long As There Is Love) can be seen at:

And, after that, is a translation of the song Lara provided for George Perris for his recent album. It can be found at:

The sentiments of the two songs are completely opposite, and ironically, probably opposite to the times at which they were written as well.
As usual, any improvements are welcome!
---------------------------------------------------
As Long as There Is Love
Fabian and Allison
When the wind that one hopes for
When the weather clears
Every moment - that is my life with you
It is your strength and your soul
On the same mornings
If I know you'll be at my side
And even when you're not here
In this silence your voice
Sounds like a beating heart
Deep in me
You are my way of life
As long as there is love
When the rain stops
The seasons are repeated
And our bodies turn over again
The Light and Fire
Come on again for both of us
The universe, the future, you and me
If we get lost, find me
Find me
In my heart you will be
And if you fall I'll be there
---------------------------------------------
Tell Me How to Love
Perris and Fabian
I clench my fists a little harder
Failing to shake your heart, your body
I watch the shadows move in silence
From the absence that I’ve tamed
And lost in my trance
I wipe the table where rests your covenant
Anchored in my fuzzy memory
I pray as one who cares, as one who would die
Tell me how to love
Beyond the departure
Between this huge void and the story that life is meaningless
Tell me how to stay beyond this evil
That just takes you away
And nothing will be made to bolt
Not even all the love in the world that one has given
You were beautiful as a desire
Your life was the largest vessel
You were carrying the whole world
In a huge smile
Which is extinguished forever
Tell me how to love
Beyond the departure
Between this huge void and the story that life is meaningless
Tell me how to stay beyond this evil
That just take syou away
And nothing will be made to bolt
Not even all the love in the world that we have given
I keep you alive in secret
And when I sing, I hear your voice resonate
Tell me how to love beyond the departure
Between this huge void and the story that life is meaningless
Tell me how to stay beyond this evil
Nothing here brings us together
I vowed that we would be together forever
My angel, I come to find you again
