Ray Charles - I had twins

Tekst :

[Crowd]
Hurrah! Hurroo!
There ll be an execution.
It serves him right.
The law makes retribution.
There s going to be a killing.
Hurrah! Hurroo!

[Citizen]
It serves him right.
Hurrah! Hurroo!
What did he do?

[Policeman]
He came from Syracuse.

[Crowd]
No! No! No!

[Policeman]
Yes! Yes! Yes!
So let him plead,
For what s the use?
The sap s from Syracuse!

[Crowd]
The sap s from Syracuse!

[Policeman]
Sh! Listen!
Yes-he dies!

[Crowd]
Good! That s one down!

[Policeman]
He dies tomorrow at sundown.
Our rigid laws of Ephesus
Most rightfully refuse
A visa to any citizen
Of uncivilized Syracuse.
If any one of us would dare to go
To that barbaric city.
He d get the ax the same as he-
That s why he gets no pity.

[Crowd]
Give him the ax, the ax, the ax-
Give him the ax, the ax-

[Policeman]
Unless he can pay a thousand marks,
Or borrow it from the local sharks.

[Duke]
Why did you come here?

[Aegean]
I had twins.

[Crowd]
He had twins.
That s nothing much agin him.
He had twins.

[Policeman]
I never thought he had it in him.

[Crowd]
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

[Policeman]
Is that why you came here?

[Aegean]
I had twins who looked alike,
Couldn t tell one from the other.
They had two slaves who looked alike,
Couldn t tell one from his brother.
But on one unlucky day .
We went sailing on the sea.
This was an unlucky blunder,
For our ship was torn asunder
Just like that!
Just like that!
Just
Like
That!
See?
One young twin went down with me,
One went swimming with his mother.
We were parted by the sea,
Man and wife and slave and brother.
Now my one remaining brave boy
Went a-searching with his slave boy.
Having lost my son
And wife, too-
I will gladly give my life, too-
Just like that!
Just like that!
Just
Like
That!
See?
I have searched the isles of Greece
]From my home to far-off Samos.
Didn t know your local laws.
I am just an lgnoramus.
I am sinless!
I am twinless!
I am wifeless!
I am lifeless!
I
Am
Glad
To
Die!
He had twins,
For them he d give his life.
He had twins,
To say nothing of his wife.

[Crowd]
Hurrah! Hurroo!
There ll be an execution.
It serves him right.
The law makes retribution.
There s going to be a killing.
Hurrah! Hurroo!
What did he do?
He came from Syracuse.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Yes! Yes! Yes!

    Lucknow

    I guess it s love...
    It can be said in approximately...
    3000 ways...
    Not including showing it.

    A day doesn t go by when Mr. Giambelli doesn t tell Mrs.
    Giambelli that, uh, he loves her.

    I know that...
    Everyday,

    The long ride

    Burns brighter than the stars at night
    Just as faithful as the falling light
    It s wilder than the roaring sea
    That s what it means, that s what it means to me
    And I don t know what I d do, if you took your...

    Mucha

    Raz, dwa mucha!

    Wpadła mi do ucha mucha
    Zapytała się ślimaka:
    „czy ty słyszysz to bzykanie?”
    Usiądź proszę na kolanie

    I bzyk, bzyk, bzyk
    Bzyczy mucha, mucha liczy
    Raz, dwa trzy
    Leci mucha w rytm

    I bzyk, bzyk, bzyk
    Bzyczy mucha, mucha liczy
    Raz, dwa trzy
    Leci mucha w rytm

    Wpadła mi do ucha mucha
    Zapytała karalucha:
    „czy ty słyszysz myzykanie?”
    Mamy tutaj takie granie

    I bzyk,...

    Każdą minutę

    Każdą minutę spędzoną razem z tobą…

    Zdarzyło się, że śnieg wciąż sypał za oknami
    Był ciepły koc, miałam twe oczy przed oczami
    Tak blisko, że zanurzyć mogłam się w nich cała
    Szczęśliwa jak przed laty, kiedy byłam mała
    To takie dziwne, że cię kiedyś nie znałam
    To takie dziwne, że...

    Miss you much

    Shot like an arrow through my heart
    That s the pain i feel
    I feel whenever we re apart
    Not to say that i m in love with you
    But who s to say that i m not
    I just know that it feels wrong,
    When i m away too...
