The texts of the songs below are taken from the booklets of Vanessa-Mae various albums, unless stated otherwise.

 

I Am A Doun
Classical Album 1 (vocals by Vanessa-Mae)

I'm o doun, doun, doun
I'm a doun for a lack o' Johnnie
Gin Johnnie kent I was ne weel
I'm sure he would come to me
But o gin he's forsaken me
Och hone, what will come o' me

 

Poet's Quest
Storm (vocals by The London Voices)

Dyma geidwad i'r colledig
Medd yg i'r gwywedig rai
Medryn ado'r byd a'i cwys
Gofidiau dwys a blinion
Bale y cawn i noddfadlos
Yn rhos y pererinion

 

Embrace Moi
Storm (vocals by Vanessa-Mae, backing vocals Wendy Page)

Embrasse moi
Combles tous mes sens
Quand la nuit s'approche
Alors, ma vie commence
Embrasse moi
Tout proche dans tes bras
L'amour m'envahi
Comme une vague sauvage

There's nothing like this
Under the covers
There's nothing like this
You take me over

You fly me up, so close to heaven
You fly me up, you're the only one
You fly me up, so close to heaven
You fly me up, you're the only one

Embrasse moi
Etouffe tous les sons
Avec un murmure
Qui, tu me rends folle
Embrasse moi
Je vois les étoiles
Emmènes - moi
Au paradis


There's nothing like this
Under the covers
There's nothing like this
You take me over

You fly me up, so close to heaven
You fly me up, you're the only one
You fly me up, so close to heaven
You fly me up, you're the only one

Tu me fais frémir
Tu me fais partir
Si prés du ciel
Tu es le seul
Qui
Tu es le seul que j'aime


Nothing like this
Under the covers

You fly me up, so close to heaven
You fly me up, you're the only one
You fly me up, so close to heaven
You fly me up, you're the only one

You fly me up, so close to heaven
You fly me up, you're the only one

You're the only one

(You fly me up, you're the only one)

 

Happy Valley
Storm and China Girl (vocals The ladies Choir)
My dear friend Daisy Hill from Hong Kong kindly provided me the translation of the Chinese text

Horses racing goes on, Ai Yo Hey
Dancing goes on, Ai Yo Hey
We are united, En Aai Hey Yo
Into  one nation, one heart, En Ai Hey Yo (4 x)

Gong in left hand, drum in right hand
We celebrate with gongs and drums in our hands
Horse racing goes on
Dancing goes on
We sing aloud the song 'Feng-yang drums'

Horses racing goes on, Ai Yo Hey
Dancing goes on, Ai Yo Hey
We are united, En Aai Hey Yo
Into  one nation, one heart, En Ai Hey Yo (2x)

Gong in left hand, drum in right hand
We celebrate with gongs and drums in our hands
Horse racing goes on
Dancing goes on
We sing aloud the song 'Feng-yang drums'
Here comes the Feng-yang song, Yi-yo-ah-hu-hey
De-er-lang-dong, piao-yi--piao
De-er-piao (4x), piao-de-er-piao-piao-piao-yi-piao

Destiny
Subject To Change (vocals unknown male voice)
- texts taken from
http://www.stlyrics.com/songs/v/vanessamae29529.html -

If it is written in the stars, then it can be read
For this is prophecy
The future
A thousand million possibilities
Is it my destiny?

Destiny
I'll find you
In my dreams

Destiny
I'll find you
In my dreams
Eternity awaits
I'll find you
In my dreams

Destiny
I'll find you
In my dreams
Eternity awaits
I'll find you
In my dreams

 

White Bird
Subject To Change (vocals Vanessa-Mae)

White bird
In a golden cage
On a winter's day
In the rain
White bird
In a golden cage
All alone

The leaves blow
Across a long black road
To its darkened sky
In its rage
But the white bird
Just sits in her cage
All alone

White bird must fly or she will die
White bird must fly or she will die

White bird
Dreams of aspen trees
With their dying leaves
Turning gold
But the white bird
Just sits in her cage
Growing old

White bird must fly or she will die
White bird must fly or she will die

The sunset comes
The sunset goes
The clouds roll by but the earth turns slow
And a young bird's eyes do always glow

She must fly
She must fly
She must fly
She must fly

She must fly
She must fly

White bird
Dreams of aspen trees
With their dying leaves
Turning gold
But the white bird
Just sits in her cage
Growing old

White bird must fly or she will die
White bird must fly

White bird must fly

 

Jamais
Subject To Change (vocals Vanessa-Mae)

Jamais, nous ne feron qu'un
pas encore
je voudrais sentir que nous ne sommes qu'un
partager nos vies comme partageons le soleil
tu ne m'as jamais entendu pleurer
notre petite histoire est terminée
i want to feel that we are one
share our lives as we do the sun

 

Love is only a game
Subject To Change (vocals Vanessa-Mae with unknown female backing vocals)

Amor es solo un juego
y no me avergüenzo
no quiero dejarme llevar
por sentimientos sin control
es cuando dices que me quieres
es cuando todo es verdad
es cuando se que me necesitas

that is when I know I love you
vivo mivida así
no quiero que me hagan daño
entraste por la puerta
ahora solo quiero mas
cuñada el sol oculta
el viento me acaricia
las estrellas aparecen
el mar me susurra 'amor'

it's when you say that you love me
it's when you do those thing you do
it's when I know you really need me
that's when I know I love you
