"From the very first time I met Manu, I immediately loved her voice, because what touches me about her is her sensitivity, her natural way of singing, of placing her voice in the music. It was therefore obvious for me to play with Manu, and for about thirty years we have been sharing some musical adventures together. I had the honor of being invited on three of her albums. Thank you, Manu, for your unique and touching voice, thank you for your beautiful music, and thank you once again for enchanting our ears.

Té Ka Chanté

(ARNAUD DOLMEN/MANU LE PRINCE)

Terre chante pour nous encore

De ta voix qui souffle dans le vent

Va insuffle vie aux plantes

Aux oiseaux

Dans la symphonie du temps

Terre qui nous donne tant

Et qui chante à notre âme si fort

Nous on veut t'aimer

On veut te cajoler

Terre danse pour nous encore

La mer portée par Yemanjá

Nous protège de son saphir

Et tangue au loin dans une valse de joie

Mi Iatè a bondyé Gadéy

I ka chanté é ka rimé

Mi Iatè a bondyé i fo nou bay lanmou

Hazy Afternoon (by the sea)

(JORGE CONTINENTINO/MANU LE PRINCE)

Hazy afternoon

The shades of blue

Are melting away

And a sunbeam

iluminates the beach

and all the dreams of you

Are just here to stay

On this magic day

Hazy afternoon

The shades of blue are chasing my blues

Your smile is drifting

Along the waves

And glittering along my mind

As a shining light

Makes me feel apart

The surfer is flying so high

Then seems to melt into the sea

In every wave he turns around

And vanishes in the green light

Really dances in the green light

Come and join me my love como along

It’s really out of sight

Sunbeam (to Cupi)

(HUGO BARRÉ/MANU LE PRINCE)

Shining streets and silver skies

Fading kiss

And tears in our eyes

Nuances of grey my love

We're so far apart

Lost, on the edge of time

Sweet dreams are far

They're so far away today

It's a windy day

Cold inside and winter breeze

All over our love

The yellow leaves are dancing high

Up and down they dance

Just as in a romance

In the golden alley they fly

Floating with the wind so high

Just to reach paradise

Why not kill our blues

Tell me what we have to loose

Shining streets and indigo skies

Warming bliss and light in our eyes

Nuances of coulours just appear in our souls

Let's meet on the edge of time

Call back our dreams

Nuances of colours will appear

Meet on te edge of time

Call back our dreams

Flame

(GIOVANNI MIRABASSI / MANU LE PRINCE)

Flame is a feeling we feel in november

When colourful trees look like fire and gold

I feel so well to live under that spell

By the fire as if we were just one ...

Have to say, please don't you go away

In this moment divine

Just as if you were mine

Our love is an instant of grace

It's a warm embrace

And it won't last for ever

So let's enjoy every moment of bliss

Every second of peace

And feel our hearts togeher..

Love can be so soft

And be warming up our souls

So that bright moments

Will remain for evermore
