Voyage en Musette Voyage (sample)

by Steve Rice, (Sunset Hill Music ASCAP)
French lyrics by Janet Rayor (Steve Rice Music BMI)
lyrics
French:

English:
Tropical December.
I can still remember
basking in the glow, of mountain ice and snow.

You in your sunglasses
through the windy passes
led me to a spot, where bitter cold was steamy hot.

Tropical December
the sun burned the mountain sky bahama blue.
I felt a radiance and it was you

Through the chill of winter
I can feel your love within my soul
burning like an ember, ?that keeps away the January cold,
Tropical December

La Mascarade:

Un petit café nous connaissait 
Une vielle scène d'une mascarade.
Toujours nos mains s'enlaçaient,
Comme une romance d'une balade

Oui, “Mon amour!” pour un instant.
Un jolie nom
Pour un jour.
Une flamme aux yeux
Notre folie à deux.
Salut, chère mascarade!

TRANSLATION: 
The Masquerade
A small cafe knew us,
An old stage for a masquerade.
Always our hands were entwined
Like a Romance from a street ballad.

Yes, “My Love!” for an instant,
A pretty name for a day.
Eyes aflame,
Our crazy, delusional love 
Goodbye, dear masquerade.
