The smoke rings
I blow each night
Oh! what do they do
These circles of blue and white
Why do they seem
To picture a dream above then
Why do they fade
My phantom parade of love
Puff, puff, puff
Puff your cares away
Puff, puff, puff
Night and day
Blow, blow them into air
Silky little rings
Blow, blow them ev'ry where
Give your troubles wings
Oh! little smoke rings I loveTake me above
Take me with you
ou
Tell me where do they go,
These smoke rings I blow each night?What do they do these circles of blue and white?
And why do they seem to picture a dream of love? Why do they fade my phantom parade of love? Where do they end, the smoke rings I send on high?Where are they hurled when they've kissed the world good-bye?Oh, I'd give my life to laugh at this stife be - low;I'd be a king, I'd follow each ring I blow.Puff, puff, puff, puff your cares away; Puff, puff, puff night and day. Blow, blow them through the air, silky little rings,
Blow, blow them ev'rywhere, give your troubles wings.
What do they tell and what is the spell they cast?
Some of them fall and seem to recall the past.But most of them rise away to the skies of blue.
Oh, little smoke rings I love, Please take me above, take me with you.

Les cigarières (SA)
Dans l'air, nous suivons des yeux
la fumée, la fumée,
qui vers les cieux
monte, monte parfumée.
Cela monte gentiment
à la tête, à la tête,
tout doucement cela vous met
l'âme en fête!

As the air mixes
With the outside air
Its state can be described
As frosty breath, fog, and
Steam and vapor
Ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
Ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
The air's pressure, temperature
And relative humidity
Will they reveal your voice
As the breath mixes with the outside air.
SI song
Watching every motion in my foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn around and say
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Watching I keep waiting still anticipating love
Never hesitating to become the fated ones
Turning and returning to some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say
Take my breath away
Through the hourglass I saw you, in time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you, and turned to hear you say
If only for today I am unafraid
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Watching every motion in this foolish lover's game
Haunted by the notion somewhere there's a love in flames
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say
Take my breath away
My love, take my breath away
