Paroles

See my face
You know where I’ve been
Walking in jungle
Cruising down boulevard
Part of the race
Taking a tumble

Loving that stranger
Is fearing from danger
Is crying in some avenue
And soon the hate will be there…

Assassin with gun
Is taking his aim
To target his rival
And tossing the street
Is a dangerous game
The stakes of survival

Love in that stranger
Still fearing that danger
Still crying in some avenue
And soon the hate will be there too

Life in the big apple moves very fast and so must you
Do like the others do and don’t you drag your heels
Life in the big apple moves very fast…

Cops on route
Are hot in pursuit
As windows are shattered
Café and arcade are teeming with loot
The sidewalks are scattered

Walking down highways
Just seeing things my way
While dealer man enjoys his wealth
You spare the rope he’ll hang himself

Life in the big apple moves very fast and so must you
Do like the others do and don’t you drag your heels
Life in the big apple moves very fast and so must you
Do like the others do and don’t you drag your… drag your…
Life in the big apple moves very fast and so must you
Do like the others do and don’t you drag your heels
Life in the big apple moves very fast and so must you
Do like the others do and don’t you drag your heels
(Repeat to fade)

New York : les touristes font leur come back !

New York : les touristes font leur come back ! | TF1 INFO

Dans un brouillard très peu printanier, il est difficile de la distinguer. Pourtant, ils sont nombreux à vouloir voir la statue de la Liberté, dans un New York presque libéré des contraintes sanitaires et de nouveau ouvert aux touristes du monde entier depuis novembre, avec notamment beaucoup de Français. Même en jour de pluie, les principaux monuments de New York grouillent de nouveau de monde.

Pour l’année 2022, la ville prévoit d’accueillir plus de 500 milles Français, et en tout, 56 millions de visiteurs. C’est à peu près 85% du niveau d’avant pandémie. Mais pour ces visiteurs, tous ces touristes, il peut y avoir une mauvaise surprise, l’addition. Et pour cause, l’inflation est en moyenne deux fois plus forte aux États-Unis qu’en France. Et rien qu’à New York en mars, les prix ont encore augmenté de 6,1% sur un an.

Nos journalistes ont croisé deux familles françaises dans cette ville. Après une longue journée de visites, elles rentrent en métro dans leur hébergement loué dans le Queens, à quarante minutes du cœur de Manhattan. Avec 9% d’inflation en un an, l’alimentaire à New York grève le budget des touristes. Par exemple, dans un supermarché, les deux familles ont fait des achats pour le dîner et le petit-déjeuner. Elles ont dépensé 38 dollars, soit 36 euros, pour une dizaine d’articles.

Il aime l’Amérique donc il aime New York

Paroles

When I first came to Manhattan
I was not surprised
The stories people had told me
Turned out to ea no lies
All the different people
From all over the world they’re living
A magic fills the air
There’s music everywhere
I love America
I love America
I love America

When I first heard funky music
It just blew my mind
The funky music was so good
I’d play it all the time
All the funky rhythms
Going all through my mind and body
Ikog? m! nbheoo j
They make me have to move
You can’t escape the groove
I love America
I love America
I love America

Everywhere funky music fills the air
You can go to the disco
And you’ll find it there
Funky music is music
With so much to share
I love America
I love America

I, I love the funky music
I, I love the funky music
I, I love the funky music
Funky, the funky, the funky music
Funky, the funky, the funky music
Funky, the funky, the funky music
I love America
I love America
I love America

When I first learned how to latin
I had so much fun
The salsa sound was so different
Than any sound around
The demanding music
From the people of Puerto Rico
I love to watch them play
Their music is so great
I love America
I love America
I love America

If you go out any night of the week
You can hear salsa music
The strong latin beat
Sets the mood of people
Who dance fast on their feet
I love America
I love America
La, la, la, la – salsa music
La, la, la, la – salsa music
La, la, la, la – salsa music
I love America
I love America
I love America

Then I went down in the country
Down in old Nashville
The people there were so friendly
I have good memories still
Of the wonderful times
That I spent in Nashville just dancing
To country-western sounds
The language they all found
I love America
I love America
I love America

Country-western music is full of life
When you hear the guitars strumming
Both day and night
Rock and roll is the soul
Of America’s pride
I love America
I love America

Rock and roll America, rock and roll
What I say
What I say
What I say
I love America

Then, I went to California
To a life of ease
The people there are so mellow
I never like to leave
And the music they play
Is so funky, but oh so mellow
Without that East Coast drive
The music is alive
I love America
I love America
I love America

Music is something they play every day
Bands on their West Coast
Get down with sounds of LA.
And the music in ‘Frisco
Makes me have to say
I love America
I love America

I love, I love, I love America [etc]
Music, funky music
Salsa music, so demanding
Nashville, rock and roll, yeah
Hollywood, it’s so good

1 jour 1 chanson Norah Jones : Back to Manhattan

Je reviendrais à Manhattan

Norah Jones – Back To Manhattan – Live at LePoissonRouge NYC 2009 – YouTube

Paroles

I’ll go back to Manhattan
As if nothin’ ever happened
When I cross that bridge
It’ll be as if this don’t exist

I have a prince who is waiting
And a kingdom downtown
I’ll go back to Manhattan
As if nothing ever happened

We don’t have to speak at all
I won’t look in your eyes
And I won’t have to fall
We don’t have to speak at all

But Brooklyn holds you
And it holds my heart too
What a fool I was to think
I could live in both worlds

We don’t have to speak at all
I won’t look in your eyes
And I won’t have to fall
We don’t have to speak at all

I should go back to Manhattan
It’s just a train ride away
I know nothin’ about leaving
But I know I should do it today
