Music & Lyrics by Tyto Tyto :

You make me happy
the moments I know it's you
walking towards me
ooooh 

My emotions
move in your direction
my smile couldn't be wider
engulfed by your affection

already happy finding my pleasure in the world
you make the colours brighter
you make the colours richer
I am already happy...

I want to go to you
can I bring myself too?

the world is so much bigger than this room

In french (translation by Damien Riba) :

Vous me rendez heureuse
les moments que je connais
c'est vous marchant à pied vers moi ooooh 

Mes émotions vont vers vous
mon sourire ne pourrait pas être plus large
submergé par votre affection

Déjà heureuse de trouver mon plaisir dans le monde
vous rendez les couleurs plus brillantes
vous faites les couleurs plus riches
je suis déjà heureuse...
Je veux aller vers vous
puis-je m'y amener aussi ?

le monde est tellement plus grand que cette chambre

Artcover: Chrysler building, inside deco, NYC. The Chrysler Building Lobby is possibly the most ornate and expensive lobby in the entire city. When walking in, the first thing that hits you is the amazing mural that covers the entire ceiling. A tribute to the age in which it was created, it is filled with Deco triangles, sharp angles, slightly curved lines, chrome detailing, and a multitude of patterns. The lobby shows scenes primarily of the workers that created the building, as well as tributes to the airplane and the age of flight.

Lyrics:
"Summertime and the livin' is easy
 Fish are jumpin' jumpin' and the cotton is high
 Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good lookin'
 So hush pretty baby, baby don't you cry

One of these mornings, you're gona rise up singin'
 Then you spread your wings and take to the sky
 But until that mornin', there's nothin' is going to harm you
 With your mammy and daddy, standin' by,
Summertime, summertime..."



There are over 25,000 recordings of "Summertime". In September 1936, a recording by Billie Holiday was the first to hit the US pop charts, reaching no.12. Other versions to make the pop charts include those by Sam Cooke (US no.81, 1957), Al Martino (UK no.49, 1960), The Marcels (US no.78, 1961), Rick Nelson (US no.89, 1962), and the Chris Columbo Quintet (US no. 93, 1963). The most commercially successful version was by Billy Stewart, who reached no.10 on the Billboard Hot 100, and no.7 on the R&B chart in 1966; his version reached no.39 in the UK. In Britain, a version by the Fun Boy Three reached no.18 on the singles chart in 1982. Lynda Carter covered this song on her 2009 jazz album At Last. Scottish singer and ex-Eurythmics member Annie Lennox covered "Summertime" on her album with jazz standards Nostalgia in 2014. (Wikipedia)
