This marvelous song: "Just the Two of Us" was born from the collaboration of two American artists: Grover Washington Jr. and Bill Withers. You can find it on the album Winelight (released in 1980). By the way, it received at the time, two Grammy Awards: "best R & B song" and "best album of Jazz Fusion".
Note that Grover Washington Jr. (This guy is a reference in Smooth Jazz) is also the author of the well known tube "Ain't No Sunshine"
My parents used to listen to this music when I was a still little boy, and I used to laugh at their music. But now that I'm older, I finally understand the magical power of oldies...
By the way I modified it a bit by playing it in 3/3 instead of 4/4. (Sorry to the purists)
Also excuse me for the bad lyrics pronunciation, as I'm a French native speaker. I know that we have one of the worst english accent in the world. Haha. And yes, I'm more a guitarist than a singer, but... I love to sing. Maybe I should keep this activity exclusively for my shower head? Or maybe it will motivate you to do so? Anyway, here it is!
Original Lyrics: (Don't try to read as I sing, you'll be disappointed! Huhu... )
"Just The Two Of Us"
(with Grover Washington, Jr.)
I see the crystal raindrops fall
And the beauty of it all
Is when the sun comes shining through
To make those rainbows in my mind
When I think of you sometime
And I want to spend some time with you
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
Just the two of us
Building castles in the sky
Just the two of us
You and I
We look for love no time for tears
Wasted water's all that is
And it don't make no flowers grow
Good things might come to those who wait
Not for those who wait too late
We gotta go for all we know
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Building them castles in the sky
Just the two of us
You and I
I hear the crystal raindrops fall
On the window down the hall
And it becomes the morning dew
And darling when the morning comes
And I see the morning sun
I want to be the one with you
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
Just the two of us
Building big castles way up high
Just the two of us
You and I
Thank you for reading and listening.
Love, peace, friendship, and abundance to you!
Troilo
Version Française:
Cette merveilleuse chanson: "Just the Two of Us" est née de la collaboration de deux artistes américains: Grover Washington Jr. et Bill Withers. On peut la trouver sur l'album Winelight (publié en 1980). En plus, il a reçu à l'époque, deux Grammy Awards: "meilleure chanson R & B" et "meilleur album de Jazz Fusion".
Notez que Grover Washington Jr. (Ce mec est une référence dans le Smooth Jazz) est également l'auteur du fameux tube "Is not No Sunshine"
Mes parents écoutaient cette musique, à l'époque, quand j'étais encore haut comme trois pommes. Et moi, tel l'adolescent prépubère, j'osais me moquer de leur musique démodée. Mais maintenant que j'ai vieilli, je comprends enfin le pouvoir magique des bonnes vieilles musiques ...
En passant, je l'ai modifié un peu au niveau rythmique: Je la joue en 3/3 au lieu de 4/4. (Désolé pour les puristes)
Aussi, excusez-moi pour la terrible prononciation des paroles, bon vous, français, vous m'excuserez sûrement. Car, faut l'avouer, on a l'un des pires accent anglais au monde. Haha. Et oui, aussi, je suis plus guitariste que chanteur, mais ... J'aime chanter. Peut-être que je devrais garder cette activité exclusivement en concert privé pour mon pommeau de douche? Ou peut-être que ça vous motivera à en fait autant? Quoi qu'il en soit, cela importe peu. Musique!

Paroles originales: (J'espère que ma traduction n'est pas trop affreuse)
"Rien que nous deux"
Je vois des gouttes de cristal tomber
Et la beauté dans tout ça
C'est quand le soleil vient briller au travers
Pour créer ces arcs-en-ciel dans mon esprit
Quand je pense à toi parfois
Je veux passer du temps avec toi
Rien que nous deux
Nous pouvons le faire si nous essayons
Rien que nous deux
(Rien que nous deux)
Rien que nous deux
Construire des châteaux dans le ciel
Rien que nous deux
Toi et moi
Nous cherchons l'amour, pas le temps pour les larmes
Tout cela c'est que l'eau gaspillée
Et cela ne fait pas pousser les fleurs
De bonnes choses pourraient arriver à ceux qui attendent
Mais pas à ceux qui attendent trop longtemps
Nous devons avancer, pour tout ce que nous savons
Rien que nous deux
Nous pouvons le faire si nous essayons
Rien que nous deux
Rien que nous deux
Construire des chateaux dans le ciel
Rien que nous deux
Toi et moi
J'entends des gouttes de cristal tomber
Sur la fenêtre dans le couloir
En devenant la rosée du matin
Et ma chérie quand le matin est-là
Et je vois le soleil matinal
Je veux être avec toi
Rien que nous deux
Nous pouvons le faire si nous essayons
Rien que nous deux
(Rien que nous deux)
Rien que nous deux
Construire de grands chateaux en haut
Rien que nous deux
Toi et moi
Merci de m'avoir lu et écouté!
Amour, paix, amitié et abondance à vous!

That is an awesome rendition! I love the oldies and jazz singers like Billy Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Chet Baker. Your singing reminds me of Paolo Conte an Italian singer who slurs the words a little bit like you. He also whistles and does a low grovely voice like you. You should record a French version too if you can find translated lyrics!
Check out Paolo Conte - Source YouTube

Hey thanks a lot my friend!
Oh Paolo Conte? Haha. I didn't know this artist, but I have to say I love it! That's exactly the kind of music I love. And Italian reminds me my childhood, as my grandparents are Italians, and I've spent a lot of time with them.
Yes a french version would be great. I already translated the lyrics, but the rhymes and the rhythm would be compromised. :D

J'adorerais voir/entendre ça! Plus c'est naturel, avec quelques petites ou grosses erreurs et fausses notes, plus ça fait plaisir à voir. Haha.
Oui, je touche un peu a tout. Flamenco, blues, folk, country, pop , rock, celtique, ...
J'ai encore du mal avec le Jazz, mais j'y travaille.
Au plaisir mon ami!
