song lyrics Quotes in Man on Fire (2004)

[translated from the Spanish]

song lyrics: A word does not say anything, and at the same time it hides everything. Just as the wind that hides the water, like the flowers that mud hides. A glance does not say anything, and at the same time it says everything. Like rain on your face, or an old treasure map. A truth does not say anything, and at the same time it hides everything. Like a bonfire that does not go out, like a stone that is born dust. If one day you need me, I will be nothing. And at the same time I will be everything. Because in your eyes are my wings, and the shore where I drown. Because in your eyes are my wings, and the shore where I drown.

Song lyrics: Magic Boy, Magic Boy / There was a boy named Sasuke in Japan. / He loved the friendly creatures of the wood, / The monkeys and the birds, the squirrels and the deer, / And animals loved him, 'cause he was good. / Magic Boy, Magic Boy / To look at Sasuke playing with his friends, Magic Boy / To hear them laugh beneath the golden sun, Magic Boy / Whoever could have guessed what strange and frightening things, / Would happen by the time that day was done? / Magic Boy, Magic Boy

Song lyrics: Magic Boy, Magic Boy. / Deep in a spooky forest lived a boy, / A wicked witch was trying to destroy. / He said "To fight a witch who uses magic tricks, / I'll have to learn to be a magic boy." / Magic Boy, Magic Boy. / An old magician taught him magic tricks. / He learned to run straight up the mountainside. / He'd shoot a thunderbolt, and with the speed of light, / He'd leap upon the wind to hitch a ride. / Magic Boy, Magic Boy. / The boy could now work magic, so when he fought that witch, / It was the wildest fight you ever saw. / The witch was breathing fire, she shot a thunderbolt, / But Magic Boy was quicker on the draw, aha! / He blew a wild exciting hurricane, / And then the wicked witch began to run. / He blew it at the witch, she fell into a ditch, / And crumbled up into a skeleton. / Magic Boy, Magic Boy. / So if the stormy night makes you afraid, / That witches ride where lightning flashes are, Boo!, / Just dream of Magic Boy, he'll hurry to your aid, / And shoot those witches with a shooting star. / Magic Boy, Magic Boy.

Song lyrics: Hot nights are callin' my name now, oh, oh, oh. / There's no lookin' back again, we're gone. / Can't wait forever, it's now or never. We're gone, gone, gone, gone.

Song lyrics: I hope the day will be a lighter highway / For friends are found on every road. / Can you ever think of any better way, / For the lost and weary travelers to go? / Makin' friends for the world to see, / Let the people know you got a-what 'cha need. / With a friend at hand, you will see the light. / If your friends are there, then everythin's alright.

Song lyrics: Out there there's not a sound to be heard, / And the seasons seem to sleep upon their words, / As the waters freeze up with the summer's end. / Oh, it's funny how young lovers start as friends. / Yes, it's funny how young lovers start as friends.

Song lyrics: [Elton John begins to sing as Michelle waves with her tiny fingers at Paul. Paul does cartwheels as he heads to work... ] Out there there's not a sound to be heard, / And the seasons seem to sleep upon their words, / As the waters freeze up with the summer's end. / Oh, it's funny how young lovers start as friends. / Yes, it's funny how young lovers start as friends.

Song lyrics: [Michelle's Song] Cast a pebble on the water, / Watch the ripples gently spreading. / Tiny daughter of the Camargue, / We were meant to be together. / We were made for one another, / In a time it takes to grow up. / If only we were old enough, / Then they might leave us both alone. / So take my hand in your hand, / Say it's great to be alive. / No one's going to find us, / No matter how they try. / No one's going to find us, / It's wonderful so wild beneath the sky.
