Dave has been a consistently active percussionist over the past 40-plus years, specializing in vibraphone and marimba, and has built quite an impressive resume to stand on. Yet, because the meat of his career was spent recording for a European label at a time when jazz music was losing steam in mainstream America, he has been among the countless musicians to have taken his place amongst the more obscure and only recently sought after jazz musicians of the mid-Twentieth Century.
SUNNY
Dave Pike Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sunny, depuis que tu es là le ciel est plus clair
Il y a du soleil dans les rues sur les toits
Le printemps est revenu avec toi
Et je t'aime toujours, mon amour
Sunny, c'est déjà la fin de ma longue nuit
Sunny, à nouveau pour moi le soleil luit
J'avais si peur que tu m'oublies
Mais tu m'aimes toujours, mon amour
Sunny, tu m'as ramené tant de soleil
Sunny, le ciel est si bleu quand je m'éveille
Je me vois déjà aux vacances d'été
Les beaux jours durent toute l'année
Et je t'aime toujours, mon amour
Sunny, merci pour toutes les choses que je te dois
Sunny, pour tout le bonheur d'être avec toi
Oh merci pour le regard que tu poses sur moi
Et pour les images que j'y vois
Et je t'aime toujours, mon amour
Oh ! Sunny, ce matin encore c'était l'hiver
Sunny, depuis que tu es là le ciel est plus clair
Il y a du soleil dans les rues sur les toits
Le printemps est là avec toi
Et je t'aime toujours, mon amour
