Maassen & Frappier - Les Jours D'été II (2nd Album Version - www.facebook.com/Dirk.Maassen.Music)

Lyrics: Giannis Theodorakis
Composer: Mikis Theodorakis

Νύχτα μαγικιά μια σκιά περνά
σκέψου τώρα τη φωνή
που σου ’λεγε, ποτέ, ποτέ μαζί

Βάδιζα σκυφτός, ήσουν ουρανός
με των άστρων τη μουσική
μου τραγουδάς, ποτέ, ποτέ μαζί

Μάγισσα χλωμή, το στερνό σου φιλί
ξεχασμένη μουσική
μια μαχαιριά, ποτέ, ποτέ μαζί.
-
Una magica notte trascorre come un'ombra
devi pensare ora ad una voce
che ti diceva: mai, mai insieme.

Procedevo piegato, tu eri un cielo
pieno di musica di stelle
e mi cantavi: mai, mai insieme.

Pallida strega, fu il tuo estremo bacio 
una musica dimenticata
un tiro di coltello: mai, mai insieme.
-
Bewitched Night a shade passes 
think now the voice 
that has saying to you ,never, never together 

I walked bowed, you were sky 
with the music of stars 
you're singing to me , never, never together 

Pale witch , your breastbone kiss 
forgotten music 
one stab, never, never together.
-
Nuit magique, une ombre passe 
pense maintenant à la voix 
qui te disait, plus jamais, plus jamais ensemble 

Je marchais courbé, tu étais le ciel 
avec la musique des astres 
tu me chantes, plus jamais, plus jamais ensemble 

Pâle sorcière, ton dernier baiser 
musique oubliée 
un coup de couteau, plus jamais, plus jamais ensemble
-
Magische nacht, een schaduw passeert
denk nu aan de stem
die je zei, nooit, nooit samen

Gebogen stapte ik, je was de hemel
met de muziek van de sterren
je zingt voor mij, nooit, nooit samen

Bleke tovenares, je laatste kus
vergeten muziek
een messteek, nooit, nooit samen.
-
En la noche, mágicamente pasa una sombre
Pienso ahora en la voz
Que te dijo nunca más, nunca más juntos

Caminaba encorvado, eras el cielo
Con música de las estrellas
Me cantabas nunca más, nunca más juntos

Pálida hechicera, tu último beso
Música olvidada
Una cuchillada, nunca más, nunca más juntos
-
Zauberhafte Nacht, ein Schatten zieht vorbei
denk jetzt an die Stimme
die dir gesagt hat, nie mehr, nie mehr zusammen

Ich war dir ergeben, du warst der Himmel
mit der Musik der Sterne
singst du mir, nie mehr, nie mehr zusammen

Bleiche Zauberin, dein letzter Kuss
die Musik vergessen
eine Messerstich, nie mehr, nie mehr zusammen.
-
Magiczna noc, przechodzi zjawa.
Pomyśl teraz o głosie,
który mówił ci nigdy, nigdy razem.

Chadzałem schylony, byłaś niebem.
Przy muzyce gwiazd
nucisz mi nigdy, nigdy razem.

Blada czarodziejka, twój ostatni pocałunek,
zapomniana muzyka,
pchnięcie nożem, nigdy, nigdy razem.

06 Dirk Maassen - Reminiscence

...after 150 compositions I found its time to go out an meet my audience. First I am planning a solo piano tour over europe in 2016/2017. Next I am planning to go out with a real emsemble (4-7 musicians) and perform a series of piano/emsemble concerts to wherever it takes me. It needs a lot of preparation and it needs a lot of arrangements (synthesizer, sample, bass, cello, viola, violin, maybe some drums and percussive effects). This is where you come into place. Amongst all collaborations I will choose the best and add them to my live program. As an arranger you will get 50% of all digital sales profit (after cost for orchestra and studio) for the respective song which will be published on the live and studio albums I am planning. As said, the project is a huge undertaking for an individual like me and I am not sure I will manage to make it. So in first place you should take part in this collab to have fun and because you love music !

Thanks

Dirk

Racconto di luna

I have composed this one for the book "The Call of Mektoub" which is written by Helen Suzanne (aka Sleepingenius). I met Helen in London on the TPC Event and I loved the idea to create a piece for her wonderful story....

The picture was taken on my trip home where I listened to her title track so it reminds me a lot thereof !

Hear all the wonderful music of the book here:

Astrophysicist who explained her research on the stars in plain language for the public and who championed civil rights in her native Italy.
