Like the Sun...

First post of the new year! Wooohoo! So, while I should have done my school work, I instead decided to write an English version of Mika's song Comme un Soleil, which, shock horror, is a French song. Note that this is not a literal translation, although I took parts of the translation as well. But you know, I tried to make it rhyme a bit. Not saying this version is Grammy worthy, but hey, at least I procrastinated for a good half hour!

In the unlikely event that you wish to copy this version, please link back to this blog. Because I will find you. And hunt you down. And get the chupacabras to eat you.

Like the Sun
I'm like a sun in a bad mood

Which doesn't want to shine

Which can't stand a smile

Even if it's not mine

I'm like a sun in a bad mood

Which doesn't want to rise

Which leaves you in the cold

By taking the light from your eyes

I'm like the sun in a bad mood

Which doesn't want to rise

Which slips away through your fingers

I guess it's no surprise

I'm on my own

Without your pretty face, so alone

Just like the sun

No matter the price I pay, the light is gone

And like a sun in a bad mood

Setting in a black sky

I can burst into tears

But the tears quickly dry

I'm not asking for the impossible

Nor for glory for all to see

I just want the sun in my life

but the sun, it is me

I'm on my own

Without your pretty face, so alone

Just like the sun

No matter the price I pay, the light is gone

I'm like a sun without a crown

A king without a castle

Why do you run away from me?

I only shine at your horizon

Love, it's as stupid as the moon

What wouldn't we do for nothing

I can't sleep without pills

Waiting for what time will bring

I'm on my own

Without your pretty face, so alone

Just like the sun

No matter the price I pay, the light is gone
