The beginning is timid
time has not any limit.
magic movements are slow,
we dance the tango of love.

It's the music of feelings,
bliss and passion revealing,
dance of flight and explosion
of hidden love.

When we part it’s only for a moment

The war was all around

And the city was small.

The doctors laughed at him,

He was not like de Gaulle.

Well, may be the trumpeter?

At least you don’t have to bow.

The bullets whistle over your head,

As the winds sometimes blow.

But why it happened like that?

For a boy ...

Panpipes in the mountains

Music in the fountains

It doesn’t matter where it is

- It’s the music that matters!

Synthesisers and Electropop

Strut your stuff and bop till you drop

Da...

Who needs paper to declare what your heart can?

Who needs a ring in place of a loving hand?

marriage merely confines it to one form.

But if I were to ever conform,

I would do it for you.

The th...
