English songs for our parents and you !

[Alessandro]

bài "cats in the cradle". Bài hát của người cha tặng cho cậu con trai cưng, nghe kỹ lời và hiểu nhé, hay vô cùng. Một người cha vô cùng bận rộn, cho dù đã lỡ bỏ sót những giây phút "quan trọng" được chứng kiến con biết đi, biết nói...nhưng nhất cử nhất động của con trai, người cha đều biết cả, cho dù có là đang ở xa, và người con trai cũng vậy, dù thế nào, cũng không bao giờ trách, và luôn muốn được giống như cha, nếu đoạn điệp khúc đầu là câu hỏi của ngưởi con trai với cha: "cha ơi khi nào cha sẽ về đây", thì từ tất cả những đoạn điệp khúc sau, sẽ là: "con ơi, khi nào con sẽ về đây?..." I love this song so much, please join with me


Cats in the cradle

Harry Chapin

This song is specially dedicated to my little brother:

[music]http://dotcomzaz.com/shop/prodspics/HarryChapin_Cats_In_The_Cradle.wma[/music]

A child arrived just the other day,
He came to the world in the usual way.
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay.
He learned to walk while I was away.
And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew,
He'd say, "I'm gonna be like you, dad.
You know I'm gonna be like you."

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
"When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when,
But we'll get together then.
You know we'll have a good time then."

My son turned ten just the other day.
He said, "Thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play.
Can you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today,
I got a lot to do." He said, "That's ok."
And he walked away, but his smile never dimmed,
Said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah.
You know I'm gonna be like him."

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
"When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when,
But we'll get together then.
You know we'll have a good time then."

Well, he came from college just the other day,
So much like a man I just had to say,
"Son, I'm proud of you. Can you sit for a while?"
He shook his head, and he said with a smile,
"What I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys.
See you later. Can I have them please?"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
"When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when,
But we'll get together then, dad.
You know we'll have a good time then."

I've long since retired and my son's moved away.
I called him up just the other day.
I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind."
He said, "I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time.
You see, my new job's a hassle, and the kid's got the flu,
But it's sure nice talking to you, dad.
It's been sure nice talking to you."
And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me,
He'd grown up just like me.
My boy was just like me.

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
"When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when,
But we'll get together then, dad.
You know we'll have a good time then."

Father and Son

Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
if you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
(Son-- Away Away Away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone - no)
Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them They know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(Father-- Stay Stay Stay, Why must you go and
make this decision alone?)


Wild World

For daughter

[music]http://dotcomzaz.com/shop/prodspics/Classic_CatStevens_Wild_World.wma[/music]

Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you wanna start something new
And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'
Baby, I'm grievin'
But if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
and I'll always remember you like a child, girl

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breakin' my heart in two
Because I never wanna see you a sad, girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Chorus

Baby, I love you
But if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Papa

Paul Anka

Bài này rất xúc động đó, cha rất tình cảm, làm việc vất vả để nuôi con lớn khôn, và khi con lởn rồi, con sẽ rời cha mà đi, và cha sẽ lại cô đơn một mình. Đoạn buồn nhất là đoạn: "cha không bao giờ lên gác nữa, vì biết rằng, mẹ đã bao giờ còn ở đó..."

[music]http://dotcomzaz.com/shop/prodspics/Paul_Anka_Papa.wma[/music]

Everyday my papa would work
To help to make ends meet
To see that we would eat
Keep those shoes upon my feet
Every night my papa would take me
And tuck me in my bed
Kiss me on my head
After all the prayers were said


Growing up with him was easy
The time had flew on by
The years began to fly
They aged and so did I
And I could tell
That mama she wasn't well
Papa knew and deep down so did she
So did she
When she died
Papa broke down and he cried
And all he could say was, "God why not take me!"
Everyday he sat there sleeping in a rocking chair
He never went upstais
Because she wasn't there

Then one day my Papa said,
"Son, I'm proud of the way you've grown"
make it on your own.
Don't worry. I'm O.K. alone."


Every time I kiss my children
Papa's words ring true
Your live through you.
They grow! They'll leave you, too"
I remember every word Papa used to say
I lived up everyday
Every night...

[Alessandro]

Oringinal của bài này là tiếng Philipine, đã được hát lại bằng tiếng Anh, họ dịch lại bằng tiếng Anh rất hay, tiếc là tớ bị mất mất bản tiếng Anh do người Anh "xịn" hát rồi, nhưng nghe bản do chính tác giả Phillipine hát lại, cũng hay lắm đó. Họ dịch lời rất hay!

[music]http://dotcomzaz.com/shop/prodspics/Freddie_Aguilar_Anak_english_version.wma[/music]

Con đã lớn rồi, sao con lại giận những gì cha mẹ nói? Con có biết là cha mẹ sẵn sàng chết để con được sống? Và giờ đây, khi con đang lầm đường lạc lối, không một người bạn nào ở bên, thì con còn cha mẹ đây, vòng tay của cha mẹ, luôn mở rộng để đón con trở về...

Anak - Child
Freddie Aguilar

English version
When you were born into this world
Your mom and dad saw a dream fulfilled
Dream come true
The answer to their prayers

You were to them a special child
Gave 'em joy every time you smiled
Each time you cried
They're at your side to care

Child, you don't know
You'll never know how far they'd go
To give you all their love can give
To see you through and God it's true
They'd die for you, if they must, to see you live

How many seasons came and went
So many years have now been spent
For time ran fast
And now at last you're strong

Now what has gotten over you
You seem to hate your parents too
Do speak out your mind
Why do you find them wrong

Child you don't know
You'll never know how far they'd go
To give you all their love can give
To see you through and God it's true
They'd die for you, if they must, to see you live

And now your path has gone astray
Child you ain't sure what to do or say
You're so alone
No friends are on your side

And child you now break down in tears
Let them drive away your fears
Where must you go
Their arms stay open wide

Child you don't know
You'll never know how far they'd go
To give you all their love can give
To see you through
And God it's true
They'd die for you, if they must, to see you here

Child you don't know
You'll never know how far they'd go
To give you all their love can give
To see you through and God it's true
They'd die for you, if they must, to see you here

Butterfly kisses

Bài này nghe từ lâu lắm rồi, từ ngày be bé, cấp II thì phải, nghe trên VH1, lúc đó chưa biết tiếng Anh nhiều, chỉ nhớ ông ca sĩ có mái tóc xoăn tít màu vàng, và nhờ có video clip mà nhớ mãi là bài hát dành tặng cho con gái, lời hay lắm, mọi người nghe nhé..

[music]http://dotcomzaz.com/shop/prodspics/BobCarlisle_ButterflyKisses.mp3[/music]

Bob Carlisle

There's two things I know for sure.
She was sent here from heaven, and she’s daddy’s little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night,
She talks to Jesus, and I close my eyes.
And I thank God for all the joy in my life, But most of all...
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
Stickin’ little white flowers all up in her hair.
"Walk beside the pony daddy, it’s my first ride."
"I know the cake looks funny, daddy, but I sure tried."
Oh, with all that I’ve done wrong, I must have done something right.
To deserve a hug every morning, and butterfly kisses at night.

Sweet sixteen today.
She’s looking like her momma a little more every day.
One part woman, the other part girl.
To perfume and makeup, from ribbons and curls.
Trying her wings in a great big world. But I remember...

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
Stickin’ little white flowers all up in her hair.
"You know how much I love you daddy, but if you don’t mind,
I’m only going to kiss you on cheek this time."
With all that I’ve done wrong, I must have done something right.
To deserve a hug every morning, and butterfly kisses at night.

All the precise time.
Like the wind, the years go by.
Precious butterfly, spread your wings and fly.

She’ll change her name today.
She’ll make a promise, and I’ll give her away.
Standing in the bride room just staring at her.
She asked me what I’m thinking, and I said, "I’m not sure,
I just feel like I’m losing my baby girl."
Then she leaned over... and gave me...

Butterfly kisses, with her mama there.
Stickin’ little white flowers all up in her hair.
"Walk me down the aisle daddy, it’s just about time."
"Does my wedding gown look pretty daddy?" "Daddy don’t cry."
With all that I’ve done wrong, I must have done something right.
To deserve a hug every morning, and butterfly kisses.
I couldn’t ask God for more, man, this is what love is.
I know I’ve gotta let her go, but I’ll always remember.
Every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses.

[Fantomas]

Ai có bài Stay the same của Joey McIntyre không? post lên cho tôi với. thanks

[juverofan]

Stay The Same

Chorus
Don't you ever wish you were someone else,
You were meant to be the way you are exactly.
Don't you ever say you don't like the way you are.When you learn to love yourself, you¹re better off by far.
And I hope you always stay the same,cuz there¹s nothin' 'bout you I would change.

Verse
I think that you could be whatever you wanted to be
If you could realize, all the dreams you have inside.
Don't be afraid if you've got something to say,
Just open up your heart and let it show you the way.

Chorus

Bridge
Believe in yourself.
Reach down inside.
The love you find will set you free.
Believe in yourself, you will come alive.
Have faith in what you do.
You'll make it through.

Chorus
