A song in the swingin' spirit of jazz manouche ...about happy times of adolescence !! :-)) dedicated to my dear DDjohn Junior ;-)

L'âge bête
C'est bon c'est doux c'est chouette
L'âge bête ...
Quand on n'a pas quinze ans

J'ai grandi un peu trop vite 
Je dois rôder un peu la mécanique
Une certaine folie m'habite
Faut m'pardonner Y a comme un hic
Car..
J'ai l'âge bête
C'est bon c'est doux c'est chouette 
La vie est douce et belle 
Et j'ai pas toutes mes dents ...

Je ne fais pourtant rien de mal
A taper partout ma basket balle
Tant pis pour les poteaux,  pots aux fleurs
Si ça casse c'est pas un malheur

L'âge bête (refrain ..)

J'me dis quand quand même
Quand je regarde autour de moi 
C'est quand qu'on en sort de l'age bête
Dis Eddy, dis le moi !!

Refrain + délires (de jeunesse)

Additional collabs on this song welcome  !! (maybe a "brassy"  or "woody" or "other" color ?)

A beautiful song to dedicate to the loved one.

Lyrics

Verse 1

Tonight I dreamed of you. You looked so divine. You gave me your skin, I spoiled you with love. 

Bridge 

Reckless heart, that can't be without you Evoking in my mind And I knew I allowed it. Chorus I like everything you are If I think of you during the day, at night you don't sleep, You are my fantasy, My dream, my glory. A lady who drives me crazy. I just want to tell you: I love you for a thousand hours. 

Verse 2

No one can enchant me, To the level that I like you. No one can compare, With your beauty and plenitude. 

Bridge 

I only wish to give you my love My judgment, my mind, and my heart. And it is that I love you and I love you and I love you.

Chorus

 I like everything you are. If I think of you during the day, at night you don't sleep. You are my fantasy. My dream, my glory. A lady who drives me crazy. 

I just want to tell you: I've loved you for a thousand hours.


Español

Verso 1

Esta noche te soñé
Te veías tan divina.
Me regálabas tu piel,
Con amor te cónsentía.

Puente 

Imprudente corazón,
que no puede estar sin ti 
Evocando en mi razón 
Y yo sé lo permití.

Coro

Me gusta todo lo que tú eres 
Si te pienso dedía, 
de noche no duermes, 
Eres mi fantasía, 
Mi sueño mi gloria. 
Una señorita que a mi me trastorna. 

Sólo quiero decirte: que te amo mil horas. 



Verso 2

Nadie me puede encantar, 
Al nivel que me gustas tú.
Nadie puedo comparar, 
Con tu belleza y plenitud. 

Puente

Sólo deseo entregarte mi amor
Mi juicio, mi mente y mi corazón. 
Y es que te amo y te amo y te amo.

Coro

Me gusta todo lo que tú eres 
Si te pienso de día, 
de noche no duermes, 
Eres mi fantasía 
Mi sueño mi gloria 
Una señorita que a mi me trastorna. 


Sólo quiero decirte: que te amo mil horas.

  Josh had the idea for doing a traditional Palestinian song, as he is an avid fan of their music. He wanted to raise awareness of this music and everyone in the band was immediately on board with this idea, and set about to make it happen. 
  Mark, who is an expert percussionist, learned a basic traditional Palestinian drum pattern, in a very authentic fashion. He laid it down, along with an Arabic sounding modal melody line portrayed by the quanun, which is a kind of zither. Josh found this pattern fascinating, and added his five string fretless bass to the it shortly after. Carl jumped in very shortly thereafter, and came up with some really amazing vocal melodies, as well as wonderfully prescient lyrics. He even learned more than several phrases in Arabic, which he sang in there, too. We were all very impressed by this, of course.
  JJ was next up, adding his magical, melodic, and exotic saz, shakuhachi, and synth to the mix. Ken threw in next, adding his perfectly timed brass and Chinese percussion to the mix, too. Last, but certainly not least, Stephen recorded his subtle, exotic, traditional sitar to the piece. 
  Once we had it all recorded, we turned it over to Mark for a mix, as the whole thing is really his baby. Stephen mastered it, though, as he is our resident professional producer.
  Our hope is that this song inspires you to dig into Palestinian music, and through that, you recognize the magic and the humanity of millions of Palestinian people who are suffering unimaginably right now. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

From Carl...
Music is our key to permanant peace on planet Earth in my view. If written thoughfully, it is our unimposing tool where we can share our different cultures like EC have done here to celebrate with our Palestinian friends stylistically the light of their music. I don't speak Arabic so I hope I don't offend anyone but I learned the Arabic as best as I could phonetically. It's done with the best of intentions . The eight Arabic lines are famous proverbs and show us how similarly all of our truths evolve from our hearts and souls

Peace and Love to everyone


Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Sisters and brothers
Daughters and Sons
We would give you food
But the road is blocked to sun
Proud Palestine
Brave brethren
Our hearts are with you
Our souls are weeping

Inhumane blockade of bread
Pains collective minds 
We want gone this dread
Let's find our kind
Please be strong
As we right this wrong
Hope prays that day will not be long

We pine with your God
To find a normal truth
Where your kids can grow and learn good youth
Sisters and Brothers
Daughters and Sons
We are with you Palestine
Sending love through song

The eye sees but the arm is short ( العين ترى والذراع قصيرة )

We are in the same boat ( نحن في نفس القارب )

Winds do not blow as the ships wish ( لا تهب الرياح كما تشاء السفن )

Being alone is better then being with someone bad (أن تكون وحيدا أفضل من أن تكون مع شخص سيء )

What is hidden is more then what has happened ( ما هو مخفي أكثر مما حدث )

Every problem has a solution ( لكل مشكلة حل )

Good intentions count for as much as good actions ( النوايا الحسنة لها نفس أهمية الأفعال الحسنة )

All is well that ends well ( كل شيء على ما يرام إذا انتهى بشكل جيد )
