Everything

Mood: Agitated

Lyrics: Giannis Theodorakis
Composer: Mikis Theodorakis

Νύχτα μαγικιά μια σκιά περνά
σκέψου τώρα τη φωνή
που σου ’λεγε, ποτέ, ποτέ μαζί

Βάδιζα σκυφτός, ήσουν ουρανός
με των άστρων τη μουσική
μου τραγουδάς, ποτέ, ποτέ μαζί

Μάγισσα χλωμή, το στερνό σου φιλί
ξεχασμένη μουσική
μια μαχαιριά, ποτέ, ποτέ μαζί.
-
Una magica notte trascorre come un'ombra
devi pensare ora ad una voce
che ti diceva: mai, mai insieme.

Procedevo piegato, tu eri un cielo
pieno di musica di stelle
e mi cantavi: mai, mai insieme.

Pallida strega, fu il tuo estremo bacio 
una musica dimenticata
un tiro di coltello: mai, mai insieme.
-
Bewitched Night a shade passes 
think now the voice 
that has saying to you ,never, never together 

I walked bowed, you were sky 
with the music of stars 
you're singing to me , never, never together 

Pale witch , your breastbone kiss 
forgotten music 
one stab, never, never together.
-
Nuit magique, une ombre passe 
pense maintenant à la voix 
qui te disait, plus jamais, plus jamais ensemble 

Je marchais courbé, tu étais le ciel 
avec la musique des astres 
tu me chantes, plus jamais, plus jamais ensemble 

Pâle sorcière, ton dernier baiser 
musique oubliée 
un coup de couteau, plus jamais, plus jamais ensemble
-
Magische nacht, een schaduw passeert
denk nu aan de stem
die je zei, nooit, nooit samen

Gebogen stapte ik, je was de hemel
met de muziek van de sterren
je zingt voor mij, nooit, nooit samen

Bleke tovenares, je laatste kus
vergeten muziek
een messteek, nooit, nooit samen.
-
En la noche, mágicamente pasa una sombre
Pienso ahora en la voz
Que te dijo nunca más, nunca más juntos

Caminaba encorvado, eras el cielo
Con música de las estrellas
Me cantabas nunca más, nunca más juntos

Pálida hechicera, tu último beso
Música olvidada
Una cuchillada, nunca más, nunca más juntos
-
Zauberhafte Nacht, ein Schatten zieht vorbei
denk jetzt an die Stimme
die dir gesagt hat, nie mehr, nie mehr zusammen

Ich war dir ergeben, du warst der Himmel
mit der Musik der Sterne
singst du mir, nie mehr, nie mehr zusammen

Bleiche Zauberin, dein letzter Kuss
die Musik vergessen
eine Messerstich, nie mehr, nie mehr zusammen.
-
Magiczna noc, przechodzi zjawa.
Pomyśl teraz o głosie,
który mówił ci nigdy, nigdy razem.

Chadzałem schylony, byłaś niebem.
Przy muzyce gwiazd
nucisz mi nigdy, nigdy razem.

Blada czarodziejka, twój ostatni pocałunek,
zapomniana muzyka,
pchnięcie nożem, nigdy, nigdy razem.

World famous vocalist Microsoft Sam is back! After being instrumental in the development and release of Windows Vista, for which Microsoft Sam was widely cited as one of the main selling points of the operating system, Sam chose to spend a brief eleven year long sabbatical with his family, pursuing various hobbies such as embarking on a brief acting career, giving promotional talks on his YouTube channel, and making several stand-up appearances on the world stage at the Open Microphone Comedy Festival. He even had a brief 6 year long career at a local Walmart to, in his own words, "better understand the working class of America".

"Yes, I've always been interested in music. I wrote several songs during my time on Windows XP, but just never had the time to record anything. I'm happy that I can finally pursue my one true passion."

Launching his first promotional single off of his debut album "My World", Microsoft Sam has been wowing audiences worldwide for years with his deep and luscious voice, with a timbre that has been compared to Barry White. He prides himself on not using any autotune whatsoever in his productions, and believes an all-natural sound has been instrumental (or should I say, non-instrumental? haha) to his success. Tickets are now available for Microsoft Sam's 2019 world tour. Hurry! Due to Microsoft Sam's popularity, tickets may very well sell out soon!

(UPDATE 05/02/2018: It's with regret that we have to announce Sam has chosen to cancel his world tour in order to spend more time with his family and pursue other interests)

(UPDATE 05/06/2018: It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Microsoft Sam. He was found unresponsive in his apartment this morning by a friend of the family and was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. He is survived by his wife Mary and his son Mike. His family has requested that their privacy be respected in this time of great sadness. A memorial concert is being planned in his memory for this Sunday, and tickets are on now on sale. All proceeds will be donated to the Society for the Prevention of Suicide)

(UPDATE 05/07/2018: The memorial concert has unfortunately been postponed due to scheduling conflicts and tickets are no longer on sale. Any tickets which may have been purchased will be refunded)
