Shirley Bassey

Diamond Are Forever
Diamonds are forever,
They are all I need to please me,
They can stimulate and tease me,
They won't leave in the night,
I've no fear that they might desert me.

Diamonds are forever,
Hold one up and then caress it,
Touch it, stroke it and undress it,
I can see ev'ry part,
Nothing hides in the heart to hurt me.

I don't need love,
For what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me,
For when love's gone,
They'll lustre on.

Diamonds are forever,
Sparkling round my little finger.
Unlike men, the diamonds linger;
Men are mere mortals who
Are not worth going to your grave for.

I don't need love,
For what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me,
For when love's gone,
They'll lustre on.

Diamonds are forever, forever, forever.
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever.
Forever and ever.

And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand
And yes, I know

How lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
And you loved me too

Your'e thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but love is there
That is my believe
And yes, I know

How loveless life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
And I love you so

The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know

And I love you so

The book of life is brief

The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
And I love you so

The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know

Where are you? Why do you hide?
Where is that moonlight trail that leads to your side?
Just like the moonraker goes in search of his dream of gold
I search for love, for someone to have and hold

I've seen your smile in a thousand dreams
Felt your touch and it always seems
You love me, you love me

Where are you? When will we meet?
Take my unfinished life and make it complete
Just like the moonraker knows
His dream will come true someday
I know that you are only a kiss away

I've seen your smile in a thousand dreams
Felt your touch and it always seems
You love me, you love me

It won't be easy you'll think it strange when I try to explain how I feel that I still need your love after all that I've done You won't believe me all you willsee is a girl you once knew although she's dressed up to the nines at sixes and sevens with you I had to let it happen, I had to change couldn't stay all my life down at heel looking out of the window staying out of the sun so I chose freedom running around, trying everything new but nothing impressed me at all I never expected it to don't cry for me argentina the truth is I never left you all through my wild days my mad existence I kept my promise don't keep your distance and as for fortune, and as for fame I never invited them in though it seemed to the world they were all I desired they are illusions they are not the solutions they promised to be the answer was here all the time I love you and hope you love me don't cry for me argentina the truth is I never left you all through my wild days my mad existence I kept my promise don't keep your distance Have I said too much? there's nothing more I can think of to say to you but all you have to do is looking at me to know that every word is true

Midnight,
not a sound from the pavement.
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone.
In the lamplight, the withered
leaves collect at my feet,
and the wind begins to moan.

아무런 소리 들리지 않는
고요한 이 밤 거리
달은 지나간 추억을 잊어버린듯
쓸쓸한 미소만 짓고 있어요
가로등 아래에
마른 잎새는 발 밑에 굴러와 쌓이고,
바람마저 흐느끼며 스쳐갑니다

Memory,
All alone in the moonlight,
I can dream of the old days.
Life was beautiful then.
I remember the time
I knew what happiness was.
Let the memory live again.

쓸쓸한 달빛에 젖어
나혼자만이 지난날들의 꿈을 펼쳐봅니다
그때는 모든 것이 아름다웠죠
행복했던 그 시절이
추억속에 아른거립니다
그 시절이 너무나도 그리워요
추억이여...다시한번 되살아나주기를...

Every steet lamp seems to beat
a fatalistic warning.
Someone mutters,
and the street lamp gutters
and soon it will be morning.

아침이 오면
꺼져야하는 운명이 싫어
몸부림쳐 흔들리는 가로등 불빛.
누군가 속삭이면 가로들은 응답하지요
곧아침이밝아오고..
새로운날이시작되리라고..

Daylight,
I must wait for the sunrise,
I must think of a new life
and I musn't give in.
When the dawn comes,
tonight will be a memory too
and a new day will begin.

여명...
나는 정녕 해가 떠오르기를 기다리고있어요
새벽이다가오면
활기찬 투쟁을 시작하겠어요
오늘 밤은 추억으로 남겨지고
새로운 날이 시작될거에요

Burnt out ends of smoky days,
the stale cold smell of morning.
The street lamp dies,
another night is over,
another day is dawning.


안개자욱하던 나날들은 걷히우고.
진부하고 으시시하던 아침과 가로들은 사라져
또 한밤이 끝나면
새로운 날이 밝아와요


Touch me,
it's so easy to leave me,
all alone with the memory
of my days in the sun.
If you touch me,
you'll understand
what happiness is.
Look, a new day has begun.

나를 어루만져주세요
햇빛 찬란하던 날들의 기억을 뒤로하고
내곁을 떠나기가 쉬울지모르지만
만약에 그대가 나를 어루만져 준다면
행복이 무엇인지알게될거에요...

When the night is darkest
Open up your mind
Dream begins,it's becoming clearer
Listen to the distant
Listen and you'll find
A midnight train is getting nearer
CHORUS:
Starlight express
Starlight express
Are you real?
Yes or no?
Starlight express
(Please)answer me yes
I don't want you to go.
Take me to the places

Bring me home safely before I wake up
Cause I believe in you completely
Though you may be unseen
This is not the kind of thing that anyone can make up.
(repeat chorus)
REFRAIN:
You're in need of bigger world to help you,
Don't you go on worrying deep inside.
(repeat chorus)
CODA:

You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you

Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that is real
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you

I love you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby
And if its quite alright
I need you baby
To warm the lonely nights
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say its okay

Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I've found you stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you

You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off You

I love you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby
To warm the lonely nights
I love you baby
Now trust in me when I say its okay

Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I've found you stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you

Diamond Are Forever
Diamonds are forever,
They are all I need to please me,
They can stimulate and tease me,
They won't leave in the night,
I've no fear that they might desert me.

Diamonds are forever,
Hold one up and then caress it,
Touch it, stroke it and undress it,
I can see ev'ry part,
Nothing hides in the heart to hurt me.

I don't need love,
For what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me,
For when love's gone,
They'll lustre on.

Diamonds are forever,
Sparkling round my little finger.
Unlike men, the diamonds linger;
Men are mere mortals who
Are not worth going to your grave for.

I don't need love,
For what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me,
For when love's gone,
They'll lustre on.

Diamonds are forever, forever, forever.
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever.
Forever and ever.

You sheltered me from harm
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you

I would give anything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again

You taught me how to love
What it's of, what it's of
You never said too much, but still you showed the way
And I knew from watching you
Nobody else could ever know
The part of me that can't let go

And I would give anything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again

Is there someone you know
You're loving them so
Taking them all for granted?
You may lose them one day
Someone takes them away
And they don't hear the words you long to say

I would give anything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everthing I own
Just to have you back again
Just to touch you once again

Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
We've got a lifetime to share
So much to say
And as we go
From day to day
I'll feel you close to me
But time alone will tell
Let's take a lifetime to say
"I knew you well"
For only time
Will tell us so
And love may grow
For all we know

Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
Let's take a lifetime to say
"I knew you well"
For only time
Will tell us so
And love may grow
For all we know

Strangers (,strangers, strangers)
For all we know

Goldfinger, he's the man, the man with the Midas touch
A spider's touch
Such a cold finger beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in

Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death from Mister

Goldfinger, pretty girl, beware of this heart of gold
This heart is cold

Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death from Mister

Goldfinger, pretty girl, beware of this heart of gold
This heart is cold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold!!!!!!

I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Adore you and want you so
I'm just a no one, with nothing to give you but oh
I love you
You, you buy her diamonds
Bright, sparkling diamonds
But believe me, dear, when I say
That she can give you the world
(sometimes: That you can give her the world)
But she'll never love you the way
I love you
You can take her any place she wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed up against the window pane
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Must watch you, go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else
When darling it is I
Who love you

Poets often use many words
to say a simple thing
It takes thought and time and rhyme
to make a poem thing
With music and words
I've been playing
For you I have written a song
to be sure that you'll know what I'm saying
I'll translate as I go along

Fly me to the moon
and let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling kiss me

Fill my heart with song
and let me sing forever more
You are all I long for,
all I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

Fill my heart with song
and let me sing forever more
You are all I long for,
all I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
