SPRINGTIME
Springtime
Springtime… une nécessité, un besoin impérieux et intime d’exprimer mes sentiments profonds,
à travers la beauté de la musique et des mots…
Une randonnée intérieure peuplée de papillons, de mimosas, de soleil,
où la rêverie et la langueur se mêlent.
Springtime pour continuer à habiter poétiquement la terre.
Le beau, le bien, le juste, une triade dont je fais ma devise et mon étendard…
Springtime… A necessity, a compelling and intimate need to express my deep feelings,
through the beauty of music and words…
An inner hike full of butterflies, mimosas, sun, where dreams and languor mingle.
Springtime to continue to live poetically on earth.
The beautiful, the good and the fair, a triad of which I make my motto and my banner…

Springtime
Mario Canonge / Annick Tangorra
Time let down its coat of rain
Time is dressed of shining sun
Trees in blossom sweetly sing
The world is trembling, again…
Light touches your faces
Soothing sores, brightening souls
Springtime is back, just right in front of me
Let it flow… Time to move, to walk along and run into the sun
Released from the ice, free of the past,
I call you my spring… time
Homy get your shoes on, come with me
On the “Sunny side of the street”
Look for life, and slap your hands
The world is trembling… again
In the quiet shadow of my soul
Burns a joyous flame of love
Springtime is back, just right in front of me
Let it flow… Time to move, to walk along and run into the sun
Released from the ice, free of the past,
I call you my spring… time
Time to hide your coat of pain
We will never be the same
People bury tears and sing
The world is moving again…
Light is blessing your faces
Soothing sores, brightening souls
Springtime is back, just right in front of me
Let it flow… Time to move,
to walk along
and run into the sun
Released from the ice,
free of the past,
I call you my spring… time

Vouvoka
Tony Rabeson / Annick Tangorra
Laisser, la nuit sans sommeil s’effacer
Laisser la brise du large nous caresser
Le soleil s’embraser
Courir comme un flambeau
Sur les murs, sur les peaux
Oh laisser, la flamme des bougies s’étirer
Nos mains dans le matin s’entrelacer
Et le temps pour s’aimer
S’aimer dans le silence
Vaciller dans la danse
Laisser la mer doucement se mêler
Aux longs soupirs des étés parfumés
Dans les rues ombragées
Des bouffées de musique
Des guitares qui frémissent
 
Oh Laisser, les places de la ville s’étirer
Valser la chevelure des cocotiers
Les jupes tournoyer
Et le jour sur les lèvres
Pour dessiner nos rêves…
Cantabile for Lady day
Michel Petrucciani / Annick Tangorra
Cantabile
Still you‘re going to stay
The gardenia light
Brightens your eyes
Golden Lady Day
Cantabile
Gently you snap and sway
Your head, your hips
The day on your lips
Billie Lady Day
Melding suffering and words of your blues in the drunkenness of melancholy
You never made any compromise, your flow is gliding, rolling over me
Cantabile
Tearing your song of praise
Star in distress  
High loneliness
Billie Lady Day
 
Melding suffering and words of your blues in the drunkenness of melancholy
You never made any compromise, your flow is gliding, rolling over me
 
Cantabile
Unfailing queen today
Your voice resounds
Beyond the lands
Bluesy Lady Day
 

Destiny destination (To Jack Kerouac)
Mario Canonge/Annick Tangorra
A place of inspiration
In this bohemian nation
An angel passing through
In your wandering
Race and searching
Swallowing stars in the night
Following your delight
Infinite to conquer
No reason to be
In New York City
On the road, burning life, here and now
Crushing fears… urban refugee
“Angel of desolation”
“This Beat” generation
Travel book memory
But you’re wondering
What‘s American dream
Fight against convention
Puritan education
Stand up caus’ you write
A reason to be
Happy “end”, free
On the road burning life… here and now
Crushing fears… urban refugee
Your taste for sand, and stone
Your hungers turn and go… moving
On the road burning life… here and now
Driving fast, let off, Lady Death
Your taste for sand and stone
Your hungers turn and go… bursting, moving,
Your taste for sand and stone
Your hungers turn and go… bursting, moving,
Your taste for sand and stone
Your hungers turn and go… like the breeze of the sea
Meditation
Étienne Mbappé / Annick Tangorra
Que serait les nuits sans étoiles,
compagnes qui guident nos pas
Morne plaine, céleste désert,
une maison vidée de ses voix
Que seraient les fabuleux matins,
si ma main n’était pas dans ta main
Que serait la beauté du monde,
sans la noblesse du bien
Ouh
Ecouter murmurer les arbres,
et voir le soleil se coucher
 
On peut bien brûler tous les emblèmes, l’humanité s’écrit, se sème
Comme l’eau de la mer s’évapore, retombe en pluie, nourrit encore
Ouh
Inlassablement figer le temps pour vivre Ici maintenant…
 
Les jours défilent et nous illuminent, coulent comme une musique
Les nuits pour chercher au fond de soi une lumière, une mémoire
Ouh
Les nuits pour chercher au fond de soi, une lumière, une mémoire…
Stroll in the night
Tony Rabeson / Annick Tangorra
Day by day
Wild you stay
You just play
In the blue night
It’s your delight
Crushing life, Butterfly
Until you die
Heaven angel
Dance in April
Shadow on the wall, ghost in the light
Little wings
Free in the wind
Another dance
Around the lamp
Little wings
Slide in the wind
In the twilight
Your last fly
In the blue night
It’s your delight
Wandering body fly
Sway in the sky
Heaven angel
Dance in April
Shadow on the wall, ghost in the light
Little wings
Free in the wind
Another dance
Around the lamp
Little wings
Slide in the wind
In the twilight
Your last fly
 
Urban Child
Tony Rabeson / Annick Tangorra
Un corps qui s’étire
Comme l’élastique
La tempête du temps qui passe
Jeune pousse à l’allure lasse
Tu défies les foules, les races
Une tête fière
Un cœur de pierre
Les yeux toujours émerveillés
Tu sembles préférer les moments
de liberté
Torse bombé
Poing levé
Sur l’asphalte
Une danse improvisée
 
Un souffle rebelle
Sous ta casquette
Comme un feu follet, dans l’espace
Enfant, des hautes sphères
Tu défies le temps qui passe
Jette un regard noir
Sur les rituels
Les codes, les lois millénaires
D’un monde où tout est à faire
Tu es la couleur de l’espoir
Torse bombé
Poing levé
Sur la mer
Le monde à explorer
Melancholia
Duke Ellington
Amazing love
My beautiful enchanting love
Tenderly you care for me
A smile on your lips
From the distant land of the sun
Suddenly
You come to me
To conquer such a Lord
Darling
Into your hands, my loving heart
As lightning that springs
As a bud of spring
You struck my soul
Easily
Heavily
My life is filled with you
Darling
A heart is a place that no one can take
When the night will fall
In our realm
Made of dreams
We’ ll be one
Till the dawn
Little Princess
Étienne Mbappé / Annick Tangorra
Let your sorrow go, little princess
Tell it to leave you alone, let it go
Lady please
Let it let it go
 
He gave you too many loving kisses
He made you believe in his sweet melody
No no no,
Let him let him let him go
Drop your gloomy days, little princess
Go ahead, get out of bed, beautiful day
To fly away
Go lady, on your way
Freedom is the way to happiness
As a running waterfall, a ship in mind
Travelling away
Go lady, go lady
Have you ever seen a rose
Falling into a doze
Little lady
Don’t you see
The beauty of your radiant soul
Over the world
Drop your gloomy days, little princess
Go ahead; get out of bed, beautiful day
To fly away
Go lady on your way
Freedom is the way to happiness
As a running waterfall, a ship in mind
Travelling away
Go lady, go lady
Have you ever seen a rose
Falling into a doze
Little lady
Don’t you see
The beauty of your radiant soul
Over the world
Move and find your way
Fill the soul of music, lady it’s your day
Life and love again,
See the beauty of the world and dance away, away
Move and find your way
Hear the music of your soul, beautiful day
Life and love again,
Listen to the world, it doesn’t sound in vain
Italian Dream
Alain Jean-Marie / Annick Tangorra
Star beyond the clouds
Some day in the Trentino
You still show up when I close my eyes
In the twilight where I go
Sailing through the night
Sweet firefly tiny sprite
In my straying you bewitch me away
In the twilight where I go
Slide in fantasy
With an Italian melody
Light shows where I glide
Wondering eyes
Amazing sight
Stars beyond the night
Some day in the Trentino
So many suns are blazing in my mind
In the twilight where I go
High in ecstasy, as a firefly high... high...

Mimosa  
Herbie Hancock
A Tiny drop of diamond
Elegant ornament
A Queen in the winter
Blooms in cluster
When the wind speaks of spring
In the land of creeks
Your name goes in my ear
As the breeze of the sea
A whisper of a bee
Golden lady
Sweet cheek of a baby
In the land of heady scent
When the day goes by
And the decked sky
Is dyed into saffron
When the sun sets down
Shine forever lovely crown
In the land, your splendid gold
A Tiny drop of diamond
Elegant ornament
A Queen in the winter
Blooms in cluster
When the wind speaks of spring
In the land of heady scent

Dédicace spéciale à Claude.
“Springtime” célèbre le renouveau, la quiétude et l’ivresse d’un jazz vocal aux influences métissées de teintes soul, spiritual et latines. L’album de la maturité pour Annick Tangorra, chanteuse, mais également auteur compositeur. Entourée de Mario Canonge, qui signe la splendide réali­sation de cet album, Tony Rabeson, Thomas Bramerie, mais aussi  d’Alain Jean-Marie, Arnaud Dolmen et Adriano Tenorio en guests, Annick Tangorra livre un album de maître tout en finesse, élégance et sensualité.
Augustin BONDOUX
“Springtime” is a celebration of the renewal, tranquillity and intoxication in a vocal jazz whose influences carry soul, spiritual and Latin nuances. This album marks the consecration of Annick Tangorra not only as a singer but also as a songwriter and composer. In the company of Mario Canonge, the man behind the splendid production of this album, plus Tony Rabeson, Thomas Bramerie, but also Alain Jean-Marie, Arnaud Dolmen et Adriano Tenorio as guests, Annick Tangorra gives us an album that is a master-class in finesse, elegance and sensuality.
