Paul Anka ~ I Don't Like to Sleep Alone

I don't like to sleep alone   Paul Anka

I don't like to sleep alone
Stay with me, don't go
Talk with me for just a while
So much of you to get to know

Reaching out, touching you
Leaving all the worries all behind
Loving you the way I do
My mouth on yours and yours on mine

Marry me
Let me live with you
Nothing's wrong and love is right
Like a man says in his song
Help me make it through the night

Loneliness can get you down
When you get to thinking no one cares
Lean on me
And I'll lean on you
Together we will see it through

No, I don't like to sleep alone
It's sad to think some folks do
No, I don't like to sleep alone
No one does, do you?

孤枕難眠   保羅安卡

我不喜歡一個人睡
留下來陪我,不要走
陪我聊聊天
想多了解你一點

伸出手觸摸著你
所有煩惱都拋到九霄雲外
以我的方式愛著你
我的唇吻著你,你也吻著我

嫁給我吧
讓我和你一起生活
不再有錯,愛亦如是
就像有個男子在歌中唱的:
伴我度過漫漫長夜

孤寂會使你一蹶不振
當你以為沒人在乎你
請依靠我
我也將依靠著你
我倆將共度此生

不!我不喜歡一個人睡
想到有人如此,真是可悲
不!孤枕總難眠
沒人願意如此,你呢?

Paul Anka ~ Havin' My Baby

 

 

 Having my baby
What a lovely way of saying how much you love me
Having my baby
What a lovely way of saying what you're thinkin' of me
I can see it, your face is glowing
I can see it in your eyes
I'm happy in knowin'
That you're having my baby

You're the woman I love
And I love what it's doin' to you
Having my baby
You're a woman in love
And I love what's goin' thru you
The need inside you
I see it showin'
Oh, the seed inside you baby
Do you feel it growin'
Are you happy knowin'
That you're having my baby

 

 

 

 

Paul Anka ~ Papa

 

Everyday my papa would work to help to make ends meet
To see that we would eat, keep those shoes upon my feet
Every night my papa would take and tuck me in my bed
Kiss me on my head after all the prayers were said
Growing up with him was easy time just flew on by
The years began to fly, he aged and so did I

I could tell that mama wasn't well
Papa knew and deep down so did she, so did she
When she died my papa broke down and cried
All he said was "God, why not take me?"

Every night he sat there sleeping in his rocking chair
He never went upstairs, all because she wasn't there
Then one day my papa said "Son, I'm proud the way you've grown.
Make it on your own. Oh, I'll be OK alone"

Every time I kiss my children papa's words ring true
"Your children live through you they'll grow and leave you, too"
I remember every word my papa used to say
I live them everyday he taught me well that way

Every night my papa would take and tuck me in my bed
Kiss me on my head when my prayers were said
Every night my papa would take and tuck me in my bed
Tuck me in my bed after my prayers were said ...

Paul Anka ~ One Man Woman One Woman Man

 

You caught me fooling around with somebody new
You caught me fooling around now I'm losing you
'Cause you're a one man woman
You're a one man woman
You're a one man woman
But I'm a two timing man

The nights you left me alone
And you disappeared
The nights your voice on the phone
Said I'm waiting here

'Cause I'm a one man woman
You're a one man woman
I'm a one man woman
But I'm a two timing man

Oh Baby you know I'm sorry
Oh sure, it's the same old story
I keep coming back
And I let you
Cause I'd rather forgive than forget you
Now I won't need no chains to tie me down
You lost you're way my fault
But now you've found that

'Cause I'm a one man woman
You're a one man woman
I'm a one man woman
But I'm a two timing man

I'm a one man woman
I'll be a one woman man
You're a one man woman
I'm a one woman man

Yes, you're a one man woman
You're a one woman man...

 

 

Paul Anka ~ Diana

Diana   Paul Anka

I'm so young and you're so old
This, my darling, I've been told
I don't care just what they say
'Cause forever I will pray
You and I will be as free
As the birds up in the trees
Oh, please stay by me, Diana

Thrills I get when you hold me close
Oh, my darling, you're the most
I love you but do you love me
Oh, Diana, can't you see
I love you with all my heart
And I hope we will never part
Oh, please stay with me, Diana

Oh, my darling, oh, my lover
Tell me that there is no other
I love you with my heart
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Only you can take my heart
Only you can tear it apart
When you hold me in your loving arms
I can feel you giving all your charms
Hold me, darling, hold me tight
Squeeze me baby with all your might
Oh, please stay with me, Diana
Oh, please, Diana
Oh, please, Diana
Oh, please, Diana

黛安娜   保羅安卡

我這麼年輕,你那麼老
親愛的,有人對我這麼說
我不在乎別人怎麼講
因為我會不斷祈禱
祈禱你我永遠自由
像那樹梢上的鳥兒
噢,請站在我這邊,黛安娜

當你擁抱著我時,我不禁顫抖
噢,親愛的,你是最棒的
我愛你,但你愛我嗎?
噢,黛安娜,你看不出來嗎?
我全心全意的愛著你
但願我倆永不分離
噢,請留在我身邊,黛安娜

噢,親愛的,我的愛人
告訴我,不會有第三者
我全心全意的愛著你
噢................
只有你能佔領我的心
只有你能撕碎它
當你把我擁在你愛的懷裡
我感覺你所有的魔力
抱我,親愛的,抱緊我
使勁的抱緊我
噢,請留在我身邊,黛安娜
噢,求求你,黛安娜
噢,求求你,黛安娜
噢,求求你,黛安娜


這首歌是青春偶像保羅安卡寫於一九五六年的歌,當時他才十五歲而已。歌曲內容是描述他年少時居住在加拿大渥太華市,情竇初開暗戀鄰居少女Diane Ayoub的複雜情緒,對方當時也才十八歲。
