OKAY I WON'T                 Janine Levinson 2022

Guitars: Jonathan Beckenstein @jonathan_beckenstein
Song, bass, keys, vocals: me

Don't be sad    
Don't be shy    
Don't give yourself to every guy

Don't be hard 
Don't be small            
Don't be anything at all

Okay Mom, I won't      
Okay dad, I'll be     
Just what you want
But there's one thing 
I won't be me!

Don't be weak   
Do what's right   
Don't stay out too late at night

Don't be fat 
Don't be lazy  
Keep your mouth shut 
Don't act crazy

Okay Mom, I won't      
Okay dad, I'll be     
Just what you want
But just one thing 
I won't be me!

Time will tell if you destroyed me
Or just simply took my joy
Could it be that I annoy you
Or did you wish you had a boy?

Don't be me
Just be them
Satisfy their every whim

Don't be real,
Don’t be ferocious
Don't reveal my real emotions

Okay Mom I won't
Okay Dad I'll be
Your nice little girl
But just one thing
I won’t be me!

Okay I Won't  -with Jonathan Beckenstein

Lyrics

Nid wy’n gofyn bywyd moethus,
Aur y byd na’i berlau mân:
Gofyn wyf am galon hapus,
Calon onest, calon lân.

Chorus:
Calon lân yn llawn daioni,
Tecach yw na’r lili dlos:
Dim ond calon lân all ganu
Canu’r dydd a chanu’r nos.

Pe dymunwn olud bydol,
Chwim adenydd iddo sydd,
Golud calon lân, rinweddol,
Yn dwyn bythol elw fydd.

Chorus

Hwyr a bore fy nymuniad
Esgyn ar adenydd cân,
Ar i Dduw, er mwyn fy Ngheidwad,
Roddi i mi galon lân.

Chorus

English

I  do not ask for a luxurious life,
The world’s gold or its fine pearls,
I ask for a happy heart,
A truthful heart, a pure heart.

Chorus:
A Pure Heart, that’s full of goodness,
Fairer than the delicate Lily:
Only a pure heart can sing,
Sing the day and sing the night.

Chorus

If I desired worldly riches,
It would swiftly go to seed:
The riches of a virtuous, pure heart,
Will reap eternal profit.

Chorus

Late and morning my wish,
Rising to heaven on the wing of song,
So to my God for the sake of my saviour,
Give to me a pure heart.

Calon Lân (@ rehearsals with Helen Roberts And Sean Evans)

Freedom In Music Is Useful

Performed by David Cooper

Written by:

Music - David Cooper

Words - Ralph Donkin

Don't need no religion to pray
Don't need no opinion to say
Say what I feel
Pray when I kneel
It makes no difference to me

Don't need no secrets to keep
Don't need no dreams to sleep
Sleep when I'm tired
Secrets undesired
It makes no difference to me

Chorus

No tears
No fears
It's just the way that it is
No cheers
No jeers
It's just the way that it is

Don't need no physician to heal
Don't need no politician to steal
Steal from the poor 
Pain I'll endure
It makes no difference to me

Don't need no education to learn
Don't need to go back to return
Return to where
There's no knowledge to share
It makes no difference to me

Chorus

Don't need no flowers to grow
Don't need no ill wind to blow
Blow me a kiss
And if you miss
It makes no difference to me

It makes no difference to me
It makes no difference to me
It makes no difference to me

It Makes No Difference To  Me (Cooper/Donkin Collaboration)

In my music, I try to inspire me different forms that are in the nature, where microcosm and macrocosm intertwine closely.
It is really pleasant to be able to share our musics through our passions and ideas...
I currently have 67 Opus and all scores are available. 
Thank you for listening, comments and reposts !
