"In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities."

Janos Arnay

The followings are the lyrics from The Katie Melua Collection. It has been the source of many memorable moments for Bita and me… So here is to Bita’s Birthday, a gift from me… It includes all the lyrics presented in the album alongside their translations. This is my first experience in translating any text, from any language to any other. Hence it is evident, there would be plenty of shortcomings in this piece and I would like to invite anyone who might read this collection, to feel free providing me with their suggestions… The existing collection wouldn’t have been possible without Her Love within my heart and my soul… I would also like to thank Ashkan Behnam for his editorial comments which helped me to understand vague points of the lyrics…

The Katie Melua Collection [Lyrics & Translation]

The Closest Thing to Crazy How can I think I'm standing strong Yet feel the air beneath my feet? How can happiness feel so wrong? How can misery feel so sweet? How can you let me watch you sleep Then break my dreams the way you do? How can I have got in so deep? Why did I fall in love with you?

This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known I was never crazy on my own And now I know that there's a link between the two Being close to craziness and being close to you

How can you make me fall apart Then break my fall with loving lies? It's so easy to break a heart It's so easy to close your eyes How can you treat me like a child Yet like a child I yearn for you?

Nine Million Bicycles There are nine million bicycles in Beijing That's a fact It's a thing we can't deny Like the fact that I will love you till I die

We are twelve billion light years from the edge That's a guess No-one can ever say it's true But I know that I will always be with you

I'm warmed by the fire of your love everyday So don't call me a liar Just believe everything that I say

There are six billion people in the world More or less And it makes me feel quite small But you're the one I love the most of all

We're high on the wire With the world in our sight And I'll never tire

What a Wonderful World (By Louis Armstrong) I see trees that are green, red roses too. I watch them bloom for me and you. And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white. Bright blessed days, dark sacred nights, And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow are so pretty in the skies. Are also on the faces of people passing by. I see friends shaking hands sayin' "how do you do?" But they're really saying "I love you".

I see trees that are green, red roses too. I watch them bloom for me and you. And I think to myself, what a wonderful world. I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

If You Were A Sailboat If you're a cowboy I would trail you, If you're a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor. If you're a sailboat I would sail you to the shore. If you're a river I would swim you, If you're a house I would live in you all my days. If you're a preacher I'd begin to change my ways.

Sometimes I believe in fate, But the chances we create, Always seem to ring more true. You took a chance on loving me, I took a chance on loving you.

If I was in jail I know you'd spring me If I was a telephone you'd ring me all day long If was in pain I know you'd sing me soothing songs.

Sometimes I believe in fate, But the chances we create, Always seem to ring more true. You took a chance on loving me, I took a chance on loving you.

Piece By Piece First of all must go Your scent upon my pillow And then I'll say goodbye To your whispers in my dreams And then our lips will part In my mind and in my heart Cos your kiss Went deeper than my skin

Piece by piece Is how I'll let go of you Kiss by kiss Will leave my mind one at a time One at a time

First of all must fly My dreams of you and I There's no point in holding on to those And then our ties will break For your and my own sake Just remember This is what you chose

Call off the Search I won't spend my life, Waiting for an angel to descend, Searching for a rainbow with an end, Now that I've found you, I'll call off the search.

And I won't spend my life, Gazing at the stars up in the sky Wondering if love will pass me by Now that I've found you, I'll call off the search

Out on my own I would never have known This world that I see today And I've got a feeling It won't fade away

And I won't end my days, wishing that love would come along, Cause you are in my life where you belong Now that I've found you, I'll call off the search

Now that I've found you,

On the Road Again Well I'm so tired of cryin' but I'm out on the road again Well I'm so tired of cryin' but I'm out on the road again I ain't got nobody, just to call my special friend.

You know the first time I traveled out in the rain and snow In the rain and snow You know the first time I traveled out in the rain and snow In the rain and snow I didn't have no payroll, not even no place to go.

And my dear mother left me when I was quite young When I was quite young. And my dear mother left me when I was quite young When I was quite young. She said Lord have mercy on my wicked one.

Well now take it from me, momma, Please don't you cry no more. Take a hint from me, momma, Please don't you cry no more. 'Cos it's soon one mornin' Down the road I'm goin'.

Mary Pickford (Used To Eat Roses) Mary Pickford used to eat roses Thought that they'd make her beautiful and they did, One supposes.

Douglas Fairbanks, he was so handsome, He wore a moustache, Must-a had much cash, too, Worth a king's ransom,

Charlie Chaplin, he was invited, When these artists became united. When these artists became united.

David Griffith worked as an extra, Then as a stagehand, Until they let him be A director

Dave was brave, a mover and shaker, A true pioneer, He seemed to show no fear, A real film maker

Spider's Web If a black man is racist, is it okay? If it's the white man's racism that made him that way? Because the bully's the victim they say! By some sense they're all the same.

Because the line between Wrong and right Is the width of a thread From a spider's web The piano keys are black and white But they sound like a million colours in your mind

I could tell you to go to war Or I could march for peace and fighting no more How do I know which is right? And I hope he does, when he sends you to fight

Because the line between Wrong and right Is the width of a thread From a spider's web The piano keys are black and white But they sound like a million colours in your mind

Thank You, Stars Some call it faith, some call it love. Some call it guidance from above. You are the reason we found ours, So thank you, stars.

Some people think it's far away, some know it's with them every day. You are the reason we found ours, So thank you, stars.

There are no winds that can blow it away on the air, when they try to blow it away is when you know it will always be there.

To some it's the strength to be apart, to some it's the strange feeling in the heart. And when you're out there on your own, It's the way back home.

There are no winds that can blow it away on the air,

I Cried For You You're beautiful so silently It lies beneath a shade of blue It struck me so violently When I looked at you

But others pass, they never pause, To feel that magic in your hand To me you're like a wild rose They never understand why

I cried for you When the sky cried for you And when you went I became a hopeless drifter But this life was not for you Though I learned from you, That beauty need only be a whisper

I'll cross the sea for a different world, With your treasure, a secret for me to hold

In many years they may forget This love of ours or that we met,

Crawling Up a Hill Every morning about half past eight My Mummer wakes me says Don't be late, Get to the office. trying to concentrate, My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill

So I stop one day to figure it out I'll quit my job without a shadow of a doubt To sing the blues that I know about My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill

Minute after minute Second after second Hour after hour goes by Working for a rich girl Staying just a poor girl Never stop to wonder why

So here I am in London town A better scene I'm gonna be around The kind of music that won't bring me down My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill

Tiger in the Night You are the tiger burning bright Deep in the forest of my night You are the one who keeps me strong in this world

You sleep by the silent cooling streams Down in the darkness of my dreams All of my life I never knew You were the dream I'd see come true You are the tiger burning bright

I was the one who looked so hard I could not see Now I could never live without the love you give to me

I lived like a wild and lonely soul Lost in a dream beyond control You were the one who brought me home down to earth

For you are the tiger burning bright Deep in the forest of my night All of my life I never knew You were the dream I'd see come true

You are the tiger burning bright

When You Taught Me How to Dance When you taught me how to dance Years ago with misty eyes Every step and silent glance Every move a sweet surprise

Someone must have taught you well To beguile and to entrance For that night you cast your spell And you taught me how to dance

Light reflections in a lake I recall what went before As I give, I'll learn to take And to be alone no more

Other lights may light my way I may even find romance

But I won't forget that night When you taught me how to dance

Cold winds blow But on those hills you'll find me

Clock-house cuckoos drinking wine Racing through those traffic signs But walking out on Lazy Street All you need is two bare feet

Crocodiles of sun-soaked kids In sexy sandals, heaven forbid. For kisses good enough to eat All you need is two bare feet

Toy Collection I will not sell my toy collection If I did I would weep Who's to say what you need and what you don't? On a desert island they're the things I'll keep.

Some children had their parents read them stories Well I heard mine directly from the source Captain Kirk shared his tales and glories While fighting a deadly force.

Who's to say when you get older You don't need a toy collection? Who's to say when you get older That you have to follow convention?

Black beard told me of his troubled mother And with his songs he'd sing me off to sleep And he said Superman was my real father And then gave me dreams that I still keep

Who's to say when you get older You don't need a toy collection? Who's to say when you get older

Somewhere in the same hotel, Yesterday we passed again, And I thought you looked my way. I don’t want for this to be a fantasy, But as far as I can tell, You’re alone just like me, here at night, Somewhere in the same hotel.

Maybe you’re in the next room? Or just across the hall? Maybe somebody’s waiting, At home for you to call?

I’m yearning in the morning light, Of the dawning day,
