Même si les paroles ne correspondent pas à la version française, l'interprétation et la voix de Peter Kingsbery sont merveilleuses. Il la chante avec beaucoup d'émotion qu'il parvient à nous transmettre. Un chanteur que j'ai toujours beaucoup aimé.

[HeinrichGermany]

One of the most emotional songs ever. The melody, the lyrics and especially the voice. This voice makes the song so bitterly emotional. It's much better than the originals.

[kounga]

Pour une fois ce n’est pas juste une démonstration vocale mais une interprétation tout en émotion et sensibilité

[escanor]

C'est sans aucun doute la plus belle version existante sur TERRE Personne ne détrônera jamais Peter Kingsbery ! 😁

[mickalixe]

J adore, autant en Français qu'en Anglais, cette chanson me donne des frissons.

2022 to sing to my New born baby - august 2022
No one can have more than their due
I wanted life, I wanted you
Only the very best
A reasonable request
This is too high a price to pay
Now they've taken you away
Might as well take me
Down down to hell for I don't care
They can put me anywhere
Throw away the key
I always walked a definite line
Cutting a dash, cutting it fine
And once, only once did I lose control
I gave her my soul
And I gave, and I gave, and I gave her my soul
I was immortal till today
Now I feel a cold decay
Crawling over me, over me
No one can have more than their due
I wanted life, I wanted you
Only the very best
No other interest
This is the way you should remain
Never feeling any pain
Never growing old
Sleep little one, your night is here
Mine is growing very near
Oh, it's getting cold

La plus belle version de cette chanson. J’adore !

[rouvarelveronique]

Pouaaa ! c'est toujours aussi beau ! Balavoine ou Kingsbery, c'est frissons garantis . Quelle voix !

[dorustan]

Very deep lyrics... I liked "I was immortal till today"

[patrizioganda]

Incredible, what a voice. Absolute world class. (Thanks to the late Michel Berger, who wrote this song for the french rock opera Starmania and thanks to Tim Rice for the fantastic translation in English).
However the biggest thank you to Peter Kingsbery for this wonderful performance.

This song is originally in French. While this version is very good in its own right, the original lyrics are quite different. If your curious what they were, here’s a translated version:

Why do I live, why do I die?
Why am I laughing, why am I crying?
Here is the S.O.S
Of a human in distress
I’ve never had my feet on the ground
I'd rather be a bird
I'm uncomfortable in my skin
I would like to see the world upside down
If ever it was more beautiful
More beautiful seen from above
From above
I’ve always confused life
With comic books
It’s like an envy of metamorphosis
I sense something
That attracts me, that attracts me, thats attracts me up above
Oh grand lottery of the universe
I didn't get the right number
I'm uncomfortable in my skin
I don't want to be a robot
Commute, work, sleep
Wow-oh
Ahah
Why do I live, why do I die?
Why am I shouting why I'm crying?
I think I'm picking up signals
From another world
I never had my feet on the ground
I'd rather be a bird
I'm uncomfortable in my skin
I would rather see the world upside down
I'd rather be a bird
Rock-a-bye baby, rock-a-bye

[vincentcardo]
