Kleiner Käfer

Spiel den Blues
während ich in meiner Küche stehe
Denk ich seh wie mein kleiner Käfer mich anschaut
Schau aus dem Fenster und seh den Regen wie er fällt.
Kleiner Käfer sieh nur wie er fällt

Spiel den Blues
während ich an meiner Tür lehne.
Denk ich seh
wie mein kleiner Käfer mich anmacht.
Schau in ihr Gesicht
durch ne beschlagne Brille.
Kleiner Käfer
sieh nur wie er steht.

Spiel den Blues
während der Zigarette danach
Denk ich seh
wie´s dir den Bauch runterläuft.
Schau aus dem Fenster 
und seh den Regen wie er fällt.
Kleiner Käfer sieh nur wie er fällt.

Lyrics, Songwriter: Atla Daga
Become one with life, and the infinity you can't understand
What if it disappeared on the trip when you ran running,
But didn't see the life you should have seen
When dreams take you to the place on earth, where you can find peace
Forget the noise from all that you don't want to see
Maybe there's heaven right where you haven't looked before
Run, run, but take the paths that can lead you to
Just the space you missed so
Maybe there's heaven right where you haven't looked before
When life is over, they're not there, so catch all that's inside you now
Take the keys you've received, and open the holes you chose to leave on the road when you ran ran,
But not on the paths that were in the space you should have seen
To learn everything on this earth, and all the wisdom that leads to the peace of mind
You missed so
Dream away away
Fall through all the gaps you didn't want to see
Maybe there's heaven right where you haven't looked before
Run, but take the paths that can lead you to 
just the space you've missed so
Dream away
Fall through all the gaps you didn't want to see
Forget the noise
Maybe there's heaven right where you haven't looked before
Maybe there's heaven right where you haven't looked before
Maybe there's heaven right where you haven't looked before
Dream away away
Dream away away
Maybe there's heaven right where you haven't looked before
Run, run, but take the paths that can lead you to
Just the space you missed so
When life is over, they're not there, so catch all that's inside you now
Catch all that can fit inside you now
Maybe there's heaven right where you haven't looked before
Dream away away
Dream away away
Because maybe heaven is right where you haven't looked before
Fall through all the gaps you didn't want to see
Fall through all the gaps you didn't want to see
When dreams take you to the place on earth, where you can find peace
Forget the noise from all that you don't want to see
Dream you away, away
Maybe there's heaven right where you haven't looked before
Take the keys you've received
Take the keys you've received
Dream away
Fall through all the gaps you didn't want to see
Maybe there's heaven right where you haven't looked before
Maybe there's heaven right where you haven't looked before
Dream away

This City

I've recorded  this in one take, just me and my piano, singing my little heart out...  I had added a bunch of things to the production, then I took them all away again, it just is as it is...
.
There Comes a Time
.

There comes a time, a time to let go
a time to say yes, a time to say no
a time to rise up, stand tall and stand free
that time is not yet/has begun, come and sail/fly there with me

It’s a season of growing, it’s a season of pain
a time of direction, the pain and the gain
It’s a time to re-order, re-shape re-define
prune out all the extras, re-assess re-align

It’s been a rough ride, and it aint over yet,
but life keeps on flowing, her rivers run deep
and I guess you can leave it, just let it flow by
whether joy or sorrow, you can’t tell till you try

Yes there has been pain, you’ve been broken apart
felt the wild desolation,  the wind in your heart
but it’s time to move on now, time to leave it behind
cast aside those that hold you, let the future unwind

And there’s no use pretending, 
I know that it’s hard
but sometimes you must leave them, 
move on and discard


Written sung made and played by Emma.

There Comes a Time...

If I know you, like I do
Where would you go?
What would you do?

If I loved you less, than I ought to
Who would you run to?
What should I do?

Well I could navigate the deepest oceans
I could scale the highest peaks
I could dive into, the deepest blue 
And bring that pearl black
Just for you
If I know you
That's what I'd do

If you know me, like you do
Why would I leave?
Where could I go?

If you loved me less, than you ought to
Who could I run to?
If not to you?

We can navigate the deepest oceans
We can scale the highest peaks
We could dive into, the deepest blue 
And bring that pearl black
Just for you
If I know you
That's what we'd do

We can navigate the deepest oceans
We can scale the highest peaks
We could dive into, the deepest blue 
And bring that pearl black
Just for you
If I know you
That's what we'd do

Als ik jou ken, echt goed ken 
Zou je ooit weggaan? 
Had jij die wens? 

Had ik jou minder lief, dan zou moeten 
Waar zou je't zoeken? 
Wat kon ik doen?

Ik voer over grote oceanen 
Ik bedwong de hoogste berg 
En ik bracht dan uit de diepste zee 
Die zwarte parel mee 
Alleen voor jou 
om wie je bent 
als ik je ken

Als je mij kent, echt goed kent 
Zou ik ooit weggaan? 
Had ik die wens?

Had je mij minder lief, dan zou moeten 
Waar zou'k het zoeken? 
Wat kon jij doen?

We bevoeren grote oceanen 
We bedwongen elke berg 
En we brachten uit de diepste zee 
Die zwarte parel mee 
alleen voor jou 
om wie je bent

This is the Russian version of my song If I Know You :) The translation to Russian was made by Arty's mother - @luche007

-------------
Если б знал ты меня, как теперь, 
Куда б ты бежал?
Чего б достиг?

Если б меньше любил ты, поверь,
К кому б ты ушел
В трудный миг?

Я б переплыла моря просторные
Покорила бы пики горные,
Бездну синюю одолев, любя,
Для тебя нашла б
жемчуг черный.
Что бы сделала я,
Если б знала тебя?

Если знал бы вдруг ты меня,
Для чего бы я
Возражала судьбе?

Если меньше ты любил бы меня,
К кому б мне бежать,
Если б не к тебе?

Мы переплывем моря просторные,
Покорим все пики горные
Мы в бездонную бездну нырнем 
И для нас найдем 
жемчуг черный,
Если будем мы
вдвоем.
--------------------------------
Transliteration:

Esli b znal ty menja, kak teper', 
Kuda b ty bezhal?
Chego b dostig?

Esli b men'she ljubil ty, pover',
K komu b ty ushel
V trudnyj mig?

Ja b pereplyla morja prostornye
Pokorila by piki gornye,
Bezdnu sinjuju odolev, ljubja,
Dlja tebja nashla b
zhemchug chernyj.
Chto by sdelala ja,
Esli b znal tebja?

Esli znal by vdrug ty menja,
Dlja chego by ja
Vozrazhala sud'be?

Esli men'she ty ljubil by menja,
K komu b mne bezhat',
Esli b ne k tebe?

My pereplyvem morja prostornye,
Pokorim vse piki gornye
My v bezdonnuju bezdnu nyrnem 
I dlja nas najdem 
zhemchug chernyj,
Esli budem my
vdvoem.
--------------------------------
Literal translation:

If you knew me, as (you do) now,
Where would you run?
What would you have achieved?

If you loved less, believe (me),
Whom would you have gone to
In a difficult moment?

I would swam across the sea spacious,
Would have subdued the mountain peaks.
Defeating the blue abyss, loving,
For you (I) would have found 
a pearl black.
What would I do,
If I knew you?

If you suddenly knew me,
Why would I
Rejected fate?

If you loved me less,
Whom would I run to,
If it was not to you?

We will swim across the sea spacious,
Subdue all the mountain peaks
We'll dive into the bottomless abyss
And for us will find
a pearl black,
If we are
together.

Ian Melvin - If I know you - Milana - Russian

This is a song written by Ian Melvin and the piano is composed by Milana Zilnik. 

This is part of a project to get if I know You in as many languages as possible, and this is the Norwegian one.

Thank you for letting me be a part of this. It is a beautiful song and I am proud to have made a contribution.

Original English lyrics by Ian Melvin:

Norwegian translation by Guro Sigurdsen:

Hvis jeg kjenner deg, som jeg gjør
hvor vil du gå
hva ville du gjort

hvis jeg elsket deg mindre, enn jeg gjør
hvor ville du reist henn
hva ville du gjort

jeg kunne kartlegge de store blå bølger
jeg kunne målt de høyeste fjell
jeg kunne dykket ned til bunnen av det mørkeste hav
bringe deg en perle
kun for deg
det er hva jeg ville gjort
kun for deg

hvis du kjenner meg, som du gjør
hvorfor ville jeg dradt da
hvor kan jeg gå

hvis du elsket meg mindre, enn du gjør
hvor kunne jeg løp da
hvis ikke for deg

jeg kunne kartlegge de store blå bølger
jeg kunne målt de høyeste fjell
jeg kunne dykket ned til bunnen av det mørkeste hav
bringe deg en perle
kun for deg
det er hva jeg ville gjort
kun for deg

jeg kunne kartlegge de store blå bølger
jeg kunne målt de høyeste fjell
jeg kunne dykket ned til bunnen av det mørkeste hav
bringe deg en perle
kun for deg
det er hva jeg ville gjort
kun for deg

All the songs on this cloud are original compositions of mine.  Sometimes in collaboration with other SoundClouders.

Music is a kind of kaleidoscope, although it manifests itself on an incomparably higher level of ideality. Music produces beautiful forms and colours in ever more elaborate diversity, gently overflowing, sharply contrasted, always coherent and yet always new, self-contained and self-fulfilled. Eduard Hanslick 1854

I am a married father of two, grandfather of four, fine arts graduate and polymath.

I had been asked to commit my songs to recording for the benefit of my offspring, and also I guess before I go completely deaf (Yes. I am one of the 1 in 7 severely deaf people in the UK) so begins this project. 

However, as I have gotten into it I realize that I have a lot of new stuff bursting out all the time, much of it inspired by you good people on Sound Cloud. 

Collaborating has been a revelation and I want to do more and as much as I can, so if you hear anything of mine you like and/or have any ideas about production etc just drop me a line anytime.

My collaborative name is Eight Zeros and can be found here: http://soundcloud.com/eight-zeros and on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/eight8zeros

I would at some point like to work with someone to develop my own and hopefully your songs as an acoustic vocal duo so if you are geographically near and interested please get in touch.

Recordings were made first on a Boss Micro BR, then on an iMac running Garageband'11, inputting through a Behringer 1204 USB mixer and using a Rode NT2A for voice (Behringer C1 condenser mic for voice up to April 2013) and an AKG1000S for guitars. From January 2013 I have upgraded software to Logic pro 9. My weapon of choice is a Martin 00015M, with Martin SP Light's mostly recorded open though sometimes via Fishman Rare Earth Blend.
