BOTH SIDES NOW
arranged by Hajdu Klára, Szakonyi Milán
Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I’ve looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way that you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I’ve looked at love that way
But now it’s just another show
You leave them laughing when you go
And if you care, don’t let them know
Don’t give yourself away
I’ve looked at love from both sides now
From give and take and still somehow
It’s love’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say “I love you” right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I’ve looked at life that way
But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I’ve changed
Well something’s lost, but something’s gained
In living every day
I’ve looked at life from both sides now
From up and down and give and take
and win and lose and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life at all.
CHESS PIECE
music and lyrics by Szakonyi Milán
arranged by Szakonyi Milán
Sweet sound, tell me!
Where should I be?
This game I play
Scares me away
Help me ‘cause this constant trying chess
Drives me forward into craziness
I don’t wanna be a chess piece anymore
What am I waiting for?
THROW IT AWAY
music and lyrics by Abbey Lincoln
arranged by Hajdu Klára
I think about the life I live
A figure made of clay
And think about the things I lost
The things I gave away
And when I’m in a certain mood
I search the house and look
One night I found these magic words
In a magic book
Throw it away
Throw it away
Give your love, live your life
Each and every day
And keep your hand wide open
Let the sun shine through
‘Cause you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to you
There’s a hand to rock the cradle
And a hand to help us stand
With a gentle kind of motion
As it moves across the land
And the hand’s unclenched and open
Gifts of life and love it brings
So keep your hand wide open
If you’re needing anything
Throw it away
Throw it away
Give your love, live your life
Each and every day
And keep your hand wide open
Let the sun shine through
‘Cause you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to you
HINNI
music by Hajdu Klára / lyrics by Szabó Magda
arranged by Hajdu Klára, Szakonyi Milán
Hinni szeretnék a kimondott szóban,
Hinni az emlékekben, egy régi fotóban
Hinni szeretnék egy darabka kőben,
Egy száraz faágban, vagy épp zöldelőben.
Hinni szeretnék a könyv betűiben,
A madarak dalában, a tiszta levegőben,
Hinni a szóban, a segítő kézben,
Hinni szeretném, hogy van miben hinnem.
SOUTH
music by Jacob Karlzon / lyrics by Per Holknekt
arranged by Jacob Karlzon
I open up my windows to the storm
I’ve written letters on my walls,
Set the house on fire
I’m on my way to heaven
I’m done but I’m up for more
I’ve memorized the moments I adored
Killed the sadness I had stored
I am thru still this
Is only the beginning
I’m on my way to heaven
There is this place I’m meant to be
I know, an angel whispered this to me
So I follow to where my sun will meet the sea
And so, I leave it all behind and go
Down south.
I open up my windows to the storm
I’m written letters on my walls
Set the house on fire
I’m on my way to heaven
I’ve seen the open door
There is this place I’d rather be
I know, an angel whispered this to me
So I follow, to where my sun will meet the sea
And so, I leave it all behind and go
Down south
Where the horizon opens up, just for me
Showing the free way out as my escape
Leaving the corners all behind
I am free
Lord, I’m free
I am in heaven
There is this place I’m meant to be
I know, an angel whispered this to me
So I follow, to where my sun will meet the sea
And so I left it all behind and now
I’m in heaven
I am in heaven
There is this place I meant to be
I know, an angel whispered this to me
So I followed to where my sun did meet the sea
And I, I left it all behind and now
I’m home.
TIMELESS
music by Szakonyi Milán / lyrics by Hajdu Klára
arranged by Szakonyi Milán
I’m holding you tight
It feels as though the world slows down
The hours melt away in each other’s arms
There is no past
And the future is still too far
We’ve found our timeless moment
The light and the dark
Or the stars on the deep blue sky
Belong together, like you and I
Two starry hearts
We’re bound through space and time
Like two lines that perfectly rhyme
Love, we’ve been looking for
Dive in this perfect moment
Now and forevermore
We’ll together soar away
OVER YOU
music by Hajdu Klára, Szakonyi Milán / lyrics by Hajdu Klára
arranged by Hajdu Klára, Szakonyi Milán
Since you went away,
Even the sun shines brighter.
Its warmth heals my soul
And helps me breathe again.
Since I let you drift away,
I’ve tried to escape this darkness.
The light fills my heart,
And I am free again, free again.
Over You,
Over You.
I’ve moved on
And I am finally strong.
Over You.
The pain used to cloud my days,
But time’s washed away my sorrow.
I’ve forgiven you,
I’ve found my peace again.
I’m free again.
Over you,
Over you.
I’ve moved on,
And I am finally strong.
Over you,
Over you.
I’ve moved on,
And I am finally strong.
Over you.
PEACE
music and lyrics by Horace Silver
arranged by Hajdu Klára, Cseke Gábor
All we need in this world
Is to have a time of peace
A time of life and love
With all guidance from above
A time that a man can understand being free
Oh in a time of peace
We need peace for our children
So that they may live a better life
What a joy divine
What a perfect state of mind
With their worries and cares left behind
Oh what a peaceful time
