Marlene Dietrich

Falling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
Can't help it

Love's always been my game
Play it how I may
I was made that way
Can't help it

Men cluster to me like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn, I know I'm not to blame

Falling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
Can't help it

Fallin' in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
Can't help it

Love's always been my game
Play it how I may
I was made that way
Can't help it

Men cluster to me like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn, I know I'm not to blame

Fallin' in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
Can't help it

Men cluster to me like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn, I know I'm not to blame

Fallin' in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
Can't help it

Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Il me parle tout bas,
Je vois la vie en rose.
Il me dit des mots d'amour
Des mots de tous le jours,
Et ca me fait quelque chose.

Il est entre, dans mon coeur
Une part de bonheur
Dont je connais la cause.
C'est lui pour moi.
Moi pour lui dans la vie,
Il me l'a dit, l'a jure pour la vie.

Et des que je l'apercois
Alors je sense en moi
Mon coeur qui bat.

Des yeux qui font baisser les miens,
Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche,
Voila le portrait sans retouche
De l'homme auquel j'appartiens.

Des nuits d'amour a plus finir,
Un grand bonheur qui prend sa place,
Les ennuis, Les chagrins trepassent -
Heureux, heureux a en mourir!

Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Il me parle tout bas,
Je vois la vie en rose.

Il me dit des mots d'amour

No love, no nothin'
Until my baby comes home
No sir, no nothin'
As long as baby may roam

I promised him to wait for him
'Till even Hades froze
I'm lonesome heaven knows
But what I said still goes

No love, no nothin'
And that's a promise I'll keep
No fun with no one
I'm getting plenty of sleep

My heart's on strike
And though it's like
An empty honeycomb
No love, no sir
No nothin' 'till my baby comes home

No love, no nothin'
Until my baby comes home
No sir, no nothin'
As long as baby may roam

I promised him to wait for him
'Till even Hades froze
I'm lonesome heaven knows
But what I said still goes

No love, no nothin'
And that's a promise I'll keep
No fun with no one
I'm getting plenty of sleep

My heart's on strike
And though it's like
An empty honeycomb
No love, no nothin', no baby, no sleep
No nothin' 'till my baby comes home

Why don't you come home, baby?

I can't believe that you're not here with me
To have a laugh or share a tear with me
It's all so wrong it can't be right
It must have been something I dreamed last night

To never see your funny face again
To never thrill to your embrace again
Oh, it's so wrong it can't be right
It must have been something I dreamed last night

Those midnight suppers for two
Our silly duets at dawn
Those crazy moments with you
Don't tell me that they are gone

To never look into those eyes again
The sun might just as well not rise again
Oh no, no, no, it can't be right
It must have been something I dreamed last night

I've set the table and a plate for you
Making believe you will soon be here
I watched the dawn sit and wait for you
It's impossible, hard as I try to convince myself
We've said goodbye

To never look into those eyes again
The sun might just as well not rise again
Oh no, no, no, it can't be right
It must have been something I dreamed last night

All these beats and my rhymes attached
Form the new creation called the Marley Scratch
We're always steered in a positive course
His beats my rhymes combined make force
I say it's like a force cos the force is strong
And if you think we're weak I'd say you're wrong
All you other DJ's are a bunch of jerks
Marley give 'em an example how a DJ works

Verse 2

Since you just heard how a DJ sound
The name Marley Marl, I will break it down
The M is for Master of Scratch
And if the needle was to slip it's the needle he'll catch
The A is a letter that you set apart
I wouldn't call his beats music, I would call it Art
The R just stands for the way he Rock
Which is 24-oh-7 around the clock
The L is for Lyrics that I write
When put to his music sounds out of sight
The E is for Every beat he make
Which sucker DJ's persist to take
Don't play with the Y cos it isn't a game
You ax

Here I go again
I hear those trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love
Here I slide again
About to take that ride again
I'm starry eyed again
Taking a chance on love
I thought the cards were a frame-up
I never would try
But now I'm taking the game up
And the ace of hearts is high
All things are mending now
I see a rainbow blending now
We'll have a happy ending now
Taking a chance on love

Here I slip again
About to take that trip again
Got my grip again
Taking a chance on love
Now I prove again
That I can make life move again
In the groove again
Taking a chance on love
I walk around with a horseshoe
In clover I lie
And brother rabbit of course you
Better kiss your foot good-bye
On the ball again
I'm riding for a fall again
I'm gonna give my all again
Taking a chance on love
Taking a chance on love

See what the boys in the backroom will have,
And tell them I'm having the same.
Go see what the boys in the backroom will have,
And give them the poison they name.
And when I die, don't spend my money
On flowers and my picture in a frame.
Just see what the boys in the backroom will have,
And tell them I sighed,
And tell them I cried,
And tell them I died of the same.

And when I die, don't buy a casket
Of silver with the candles all aflame
Just see what the boys in the backroom will have,
And tell them I sighed,
And tell them I cried,
And tell them I died of the same.

And when I die, don't pay the preacher
For speaking of my glory and my fame
Just see what the boys in the backroom will have,
And tell them I sighed,
And tell them I cried,
And tell them I died of the same

I've been in love before, it's true
Been learning to adore just you
Some old woman taught me how to kiss
To smile like that, to sigh like this

I've been in love before, you'll see
Oh darling, what a bore I'd be
My past that makes you hate me
Makes you love me too
I've been in love before, never knew

And I've been in love before, it's true
Been learning to adore just you
Some old woman taught me how to kiss
To smile like that and sigh like this

I've been in love before, you'll see
Oh darling, what a bore I'd be
My past that makes you hate me
Makes you love me too
I've been in love before, haven't you?

All I do, is dine with'm
And split a pint of wine with'm
Respectable as can be…
Yet here's what they say to me…

You've got that look,
That look that leaves me weak
You with your eyes across the table technique

You've got that look,
That look between the lines
You with your let's get more than friendly designs

I should be brave and say, “Let's have no more of it”!
But oh what's the use when you know…I love it!

You'll only kill my will before I speak
So turn on that low left hook that look that leaves me weak

You've got that look,
That look that leaves me weak
You with your eyes across the table technique

You got that look,
That look between the lines
You with your let's get more than friendly designs

I should be brave and say, “Let's have no more of it”!
But oh what's the use when you know…I love it!

You'll only kill my will before I speak
So turn on that low left hook that look that leaves me weak!

A man I know is falling for me
A man I know is acting like a fool
While I'll remain as cool to him as ice
This man I know keeps calling for me
This man I know is far too grand
Why can't he understand
He's so in losing dice

Such trying times
Such trying times
Why do we live in such exasperating times?

Such trying times
Such trying times
If only we could find a reason or the rhymes

This man I knew has given it up
This man I knew has waited far too long
And suddenly been strong enough
To break the tie

This man I knew is living it up
This man I knew has buried all his past
And found true love at last
But and I

Strophe 1:
Man lebt in einer großen Stadt und ist doch so allein. Der Mann nachdem man Sehnsucht hat, scheint noch nicht da zu sein.
Man kennt ihn nicht und kennt ihn doch genau und man hat Angst, dass er vorubergeht und sucht bei andern ihn und bleibt doch seine Frau, bis man ihm plotzlich gegenubersteht.

Refrain 1:
Und da weiß man nicht, was man sagen soll und man findet alles so banal und man nahm doch fruher gern den Mund so voll und nun stottert man mit einem Mal.
Alles das, was man sich vorgenommen hat, ihm sofort im ersten Augenblick zu sagen, dass vergisst man glatt, denn es sagt sein Blick, dass er einen langst verstanden hat.

Strophe 2:
Man hat nun alles, was man will, man konnte glucklich sein. Die große Stadt ist plotzlich still, man lebt fur ihn allein. Man denkt an nichts - so schon ist diese Zeit. Man hat nur Angst, dass sie vorubergeht und denkt ganz leise heimlich an den ersten Streit, bis man ihm plotzlich gegenubersteht.

Refrain 2:
Und da weiß man nicht, was man sagen soll und man findet alles so banal und er nahm doch fruher nie den Mund so voll und nun schreit er so mit einem Mal.
Und man schweigt und fuhlt genau jetzt ist es Schluss und es lohnt nicht einmal mehr ein Wort zu sagen. Jetzt ist alles aus, eine Welt sturzt ein, man ist wieder einmal so allein.

Wie konnte mich ein Mann nur so berauschen?
Wie beging ich nur den Wahn,
meinen guten Peter einzutauschen,
der mir niemals was getan.
Weckte man ihn nachts aus seinem Bette
laut und roh per Telephon:
Peter, ich hab keine Zigaretten,
was sprach Peter: Bring sie schon.
Peter, Peter, komm zu mir zuruck
Peter, Peter, warst mein bestes Stuck
Peter, Peter, ich war so gemein
Spater, spater sieht man erst alles ein
Sprach man: Peter, ich hab dich betrogen,
sagte er: Wenn's dich nur freut.
Nie ist ein Gewitter aufgezogen,
er war zartlich jederzeit.
Und ganz ohne Grund ging ich zu anderen,
sagte Peter Adieu!
Geb ich mich nun jetzt an all die anderen,
tut mein Herz nach ihm so weh.
Peter, Peter ...

Googled English translation:
How could intoxicate me a man like that?
As I committed only the illusion
Peter my good exchange,
of what I never did.
It woke him from his bed at night
loud and crude by phone:
Peter, I'm no cigarettes,
what Peter said: Bring it already.
Peter, Peter, come back to me
Peter, Peter were, my best piece
Peter, Peter, I was so mean
Later, later you can see only one all
Spoke to Peter, I have deceived you,
He said: If it pleases you only.
Never had a storm is raised,
He was tender at any time.
And without reason I went to another,
Peter said good-bye!
I give myself now to all the others,
does my heart for him such pain.

Wenn eine Frau dich verstrickt ins Liebesspiel,
Prufe zuerst ihren ganzen Sex appeal.
Sieh dir ihr Haar erst auf seine Farbe an,
Weil man daraus den Charakter deuten kann.
Dunkle Frauen sind ja gewohnlich sanft wie der Mond,
Schwerer durchschauen wirst du die sußen Racker in blond.

Nimm dich in acht vor blonden Frau'n,
Die haben so etwas Gewisses!
's ist ihnen nicht gleich anzuschau'n,
Aber irgend etwas is' es.
Ein kleines Blickgeplankel sei erlaubt dir;
Doch denke immer: Achtung vor dem Raubtier!
Nimm dich in acht vor blonden Frau'n,
Sie haben so etwas Gewisses.

Jedermann glaubt, die Blonden sind naiv!
Sei auf der Hut, stille Wasser sind tief!
Mal dir kein Gluck mit den blonden Katzchen aus,
Eh' du's geahnt, kommen schon die Krallen raus!
Und wenn das Blondchen all deine Lieb mit Treue dir lohnt,
Ist sie ganz sicher heimlich geforben wasserstoffblond.

Nimm dich in acht vor blonden Frau'n,
Die haben so etwas Gewisses.
's ist ihnen nicht gleich anzuschau'n,
Aber irgend etwas is' es.
Ein kleines Blickgeplankel sei erlaubt dir;
Doch denke immer: Achtung vor dem Raubtier!
Nimm dich in acht vor blonden Frau'n,
Sie haben so etwas Gewisses.

Zwei Jahre war ich Deine Braut
und hab Dir grenzenlos vertraut.
Das war mein ganzes Malheur.
Nun sitz ich da mit der l’Amour,
doch kommst Du sicher mon retour.
Weil ich auf eins immer schwor.

Leben ohne Liebe kannst Du nicht,
wenn man auch den Himmel Dir verspricht.
Alles kannst Du haben
und hast doch keine Ruh,
denn ein bißchen Liebe gehort nun mal dazu.

War’s auch nur ‘ne kleine Sympathie,
doch ganz ohne Liebe geht es nie.
Zehn mal eher kannst Du entbehren
Luft und Licht, aber leben ohne Liebe nicht.

Give me the man
who does a thing
does a thing to my heart
I love the man
who takes me
into his hands
and gets what he demands
And when we're alone
by moonlight
under a big palm tree
Oh give me the man
who does a thing
does a thing to me

Give me the man
who does a thing
does a thing to my heart
I love the man
who takes me
into his hands
and gets what he demands
And when we're alone
by moonlight
under a big palm tree
Oh give me the man
who does a thing
does a thing to me

Johnny, wenn du Geburtstag hast,
bin ich bei dir zu Gast die ganze Nacht.
Johnny, ich traume so viel von dir,
ach, komm doch mal zu mir
nachmittags um halb vier.

Johnny, wenn du Geburtstag hast
und mich dein Arm umfasst die ganze Nacht,
Johnny, dann denke ich noch zuletzt,
wenn du doch jeden Tag Geburtstag hatt'st.
