Harder to Hide
C'est ta chanson

Dear Listener,

Each lyrics that you find here are the work of Chico Chica. We compose ourselves all our songs. Here are a few that we hope will please you.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      Chico Chica. 

Quand j’étais petite fille à l’école

Tu étais le plus gentil de mes copains 

On a fait des aventures à la compagne 

On s’est chasses tout autour

Mais tu n’es plus ici encore

 

Si je chante ce chanson

C’est pour toi mon garçon 

C’est pour passer le temps

Le temps quand tu me manques 

C’est pour toi mon garçon.

 

Maintenant que je suis grande c’est vrai

Que je pense de plus en plus de ce temps la

Et tu m’avais dit que tu voudrais revenir pour moi 

Quand tu serais plus grand,

J’avais toute raison de te croire.

 

Si je chante ce chanson

C’est pour toi mon garçcon

C’est pour passer le temps

Le temps quand tu me manques 

C’est pour toi mon garçon.

You may have noticed a change

You hear it in the happy tone in my voice 

Now it's so easy to laugh and smile

I just want to sing and rejoice

 

My past is a wilderness plain

With scenes of sorrow and a pain-weary pride 

A mask perfected goes undetected

But love is much harder to hide

Love is much harder to hide

 

I put all my feelings on ice

And carried on with my beautiful smile 

Poise and composure would pull ne through 

Along with deceit and denial.

 

But now there's a spring in my heart 

I wipe away the tears I secretly cried I

'm revealing what I was concealing

Coz love is much harder to hide Love is much harder to hide

The memory of the magic kiss

He left in my hair

Has swept away the pain in my mind.

 

What once was looming large and dark 

And everywhere

Is now in a place that I've left far behind.

 

Listen to my beating heart Hear loud hear it clear 

Through the darkest night

I’ll wait for the dawn to appear.

 

The complications of my life

Kept haunting my sleep;

It's meant to be the best place to hide.

 

I wonder if there's anything

So peaceful or deep

As silence soon filled by our hearts side by side.

 

Listen to my beating heart Hear loud hear it clear 

Through the darkest night

I’ll wait for the dawn to appear.

Why can't we leave it all behind? 

Let's think of how we'll fill the hours. 

We'll go for all the healthy options

A life of beneficial salads and flowers

 

There's something I saw the other night (I watched it with you, remember?)

A man and his wife were baking bread

(We'll have to find out how that's done)

Their working week was in computers

But now they've gone for something fluffy instead.

 

Dreaming and planning their lunch 

With a buzz in the air

Off set their footprints with candles 

They bought at the fair.

 

They seem so much happier than us

(And she seemed so much prettier than me) 

Perhaps we should follow where they've led (Would that be Italy or France?)

Let's sell the DVD collection

And go for something fluffy instead.

 

Dreaming and planning our lunch

 With a buzz in the air

Off set our footprints with candles 

We bought at the fair.

 

Let's make a list of things to do

(I'll go and fetch a pen and paper)

Include all those books we've never read (You must remind me what they are)

And try to get it all completed

Before the day when you and I end up dead 

When life becomes so hard and crunchy

It's time to go for something fluffy instead.

The chair on which he sat

Has taken on a life of its own.

The warmth, the ghost, the scent

The echo of a soft beguiling tone,

The very air he breathed

Have made this room a rare enchanted place

It won't be long when I see this room lit up by his face.

 

To think it's been a week

Since he turned this weary life around

He came at just the point

Before this sorry ship would run aground. 

But now the days ahead

Are more than just a dizzy dream's delight 

They'll be my starry destiny

Path of a fantasy flight.

In the past I never understood

Why hearts would not function as they should 

I was like a car that failed to start 

His key now turns the engine of my heart.

This room may well appear 

Exactly as it did a week ago

But every other sense

Detects a golden aura and a glow

 My joy is everywhere

As long as he's around and in my sight 

This is my starry destiny

Path of a fantasy flight.

Le rideau de la soirée s'ouvre

Le brouillard de la nuit me couvre. Oh pense a moi

Pense a moi.

 

Les cris qui me faisaient si peur

Sont plus forts que mes cris de coeur. Oh pense à moi

Pense à moi.

 

Maintenant la nuit me rend si froid Oh pense à moi

Pense à moi.

 

Quand l'hirondelle vient me donne 

Un coup d'amour, un air si bon, 

Oh pense à moi

Pense à moi.

 

C'est l'heure je veux me coucherais 

Avec nos rêves, nos voeux secrets. 

Oh pense à moi

Pense à moi.

 

Je te supplie un mille de fois

 Oh pense à moi

Pense à moi.

 

Voit les étoiles qui se paraissent, 

Ces témoins doux de nos caresses. 

Oh pense à moi

Pense à moi.

 

Je te promet avant dormir

Je vais répondre à tes désirs, 

Oh pense à moi

Pense à moi.

 

A l'avenir comme autrefois 

Oh pense à moi

Pense à moi

Pense à moi.

Who are we to interfere

In other peoples' wars?

Coz things are not as they appear So let's not shed a tear

On some forgotten cause.

 

Who is good and who's is bad?

It's really hard to say

And who's this guy they call Assad? I tell you I'm so glad

It's all so far away.

 

And then I saw her muddy hands

I wondered where they could have been

The jagged gestures seem to say:

'You won't believe what I have seen'.

 

In that forsaken desert sand

I had to draw a line

It's more than I can understand. 

What happens in that land

Is no concern of mine.

 

And then I saw his piercing eyes

On the television screen

The silence shouted loud and clear: 

'You won't believe what I have seen'.

 

But then I saw the horror on his face

I wasn't sure what it could mean

And then I heard those painful shaking words: 'You won't believe what I have seen'.

There's a fish

Swimming around a little lake

And she's beginning to feel the strain. 

Round and round she looks for love 

But everyone she meets

Has lacked a certain warmth.

 

Her blood is cold

And so is her environment

And she won't stop her quest for love. 

The tide has turned

She dreams of eggs

But not to eat of course,

She wants to get them laid.

 

As she looks around 

Hunger takes a hold

It dominates her mind 

A fishy kind of mindset.

 

She smells a worm

Grabs it and takes a bite

But something sharp has stuck inside her mouth. 

She's pulled up fast and high

Into an unfamiliar world

So warm and strange and dry.

Hay un lugar muy lejos de aqui,

Plateados los rios que cayen en el mar Isla dorada en un mar de cristal,

Ciel azul y celestial, pero solo en mi sonar. Un dia el viento calido me llevara,

Junto con la aves y la brisa otonal,

A mi querida isla sonada

 

Descancare bajo la sombra,

Me gozare con la brisa, que sopla del mar Flotando en el agua, veo mis deseos,

El sol rojizo y caliente, pero solo en mi sonar. Un dia el viento calido me llevara,

Junto con la aves y la brisa otonal,

A mi querida isla sonada

 

Isla sonada, linda y dorada,

Stoy esperando ese dia mi llegada Isla sonada, la isla de mis suenos

Morning brings a bird

On the garden lawn

Where a danger lurks within

He's unaware that yards away 

A pair of eyes - a big surprise 

A happy cat starts her day.

 

As the morning wind

Rushes through the air

Instinct starts to rule her will

Thoughts go through her mind 

So cruel and so unkind

Coz cats go out to kill.

 

The bird will never flap his wings

We'll never hear the song he sings 

We'll never see the life he lived before. 

This time he never got to flee

Or occupy his favourite tree

He's lying dead upon the kitchen floor.

 

Perhaps I should explain

That life and circle thing

But that won't wash away your tears

It's hard for me to tell a child

This was done - just for fun

Not like it is in the wild.

Watch her walk around

Proud and satisfied

Now that she had her thrill

Don't get too upset about a callous pet 

Coz cats go out to kill.

 

E gato

Singing makes you happy and if you're in any doubt

You need to read the findings of a new report that's out 

Researchers got some mice to sing The Londonderry Air

And afterwards the mice filled in a detailed questionnaire 

Results were read and counted now they know how mice react 

Singing makes you happy it's a scientific fact.

 

 

Playing makes you now this comes as some surprise

The world of work is deemed to be a refuge for the wise.

Some mice formed a salsa band away from life’s concerns

Some spun on treadmills and did their tax returns.

They thought that this was how they'd keep their self esteem intact 

But playing makes you happy it's a scientific fact.

 

Dancing makes you happy but perhaps you need some proof 

Some get happy with their feet while some stand back aloof

They got one group of mice to dance and one they called control 

They put some speakers in the cage and played some Rock'n'Roll. 

The first group had that something that the other group had lacked 

Yes dancing makes you happy it's a scientific fact.

 

Loving makes you happy and according to research

The smiles belong to those in love not those left in the lurch

I was told not to trust everything I read

So one day I went out to check - I had some ducks to feed 

And sure enough some lovers kissed, a little duckling quacked 

Yes loving makes you happy it's a scientific fact.
