Pearls 06:01
My mind is full of pearls Each one a souvenir And like all other girls I keep them carefully My mind is full of pearls Each one a dream And like all other girls I love their gleam No one to string my pearls No one to rule my world Sometimes I lose a pearl My mind, a sea My hidden treasures whirl And sink silently And then I dive for pearls Deep in the sea Unlike with other girls They float away from me No one to save my pearls No one to share my world

On The Way 05:03
I fall mélancolique not only in the fall I roll a rock to the top of the mountain and then it falls back That’s rock’n roll But who wrote this song? I join the Dior Anarchists’ Club and wear 5 inch high heels I look for Mister Perfect and then I feel like Miss Understood But who wrote this book? I don’t know the goal yet I don’t know the aim Even so I am on the way I don’t know the purpose No destination Even so I am on the way I buy the hundredth new dress in abricot and baby blue I go to green and save a gnu I sink a well in Ethiopia But is this my part to play? I give birth, I lose, I love, I breathe I dream, I read, I ask, I fail I play, I give, I sing, I smile, I cry, I hurt, I hear, I grow I wake up with the birds, that’s my scénario I don’t know the goal yet I don’t know the aim Even so I am on the way I don’t know the purpose No destination Even so I am on the way I write a song that starts en français It takes an english detour to rhyme with amour I feel the pain like winter last too long But summer is here, so the plot seems wrong One must imagine me happy! «Il faut imaginer Sisyphe heureux»

Be With You 02:30
Some nights When I get lonely Stars won’t shine at all I can close my eyes and Be with you And when I’m lost Out on my own So afraid I won’t find my way back home Well, I can just retrace The outline of your face and Be with you So far away from me When I hear your voice call out to me The echoes inside my soul heal me When I’m tired of trying And I feel that I can’t go on The universe holds out its hands And lifts me up And I will soon be on my way back home to Be with you

C’est un love song Qui tourne, tourne, tourne around my head C’est un love song Qui tourne, tourne, tourne dans ma tête Un seul regard mais t’es si far, si far, si far away Tes baisers sont des kiss d’artifices à s’envoler volés, volés J’entends l’écho de mon souffle sur ta peau, écho si beau Tes caresses me donnent un feeling accro, accro, accro C’est un love song, Qui swingue, swingue, swingue dans un dancing C’est un love song Qu’on chante, chante de Nantes jusqu’à Hong Kong Dans ce p’tit bar j’entends une guitare si far, si far away J’ai le cafard, j’irais jusqu’à Dakar ou bien au Zimbabwe Ton regard d’océan very blue, very doux me séduisait T’as tatoué tes baisers dans mon cœur, sur ma chair, kiss catcher, yéyé! C’est un love song Qu’on chante, chante de Nantes jusqu’à Hong Kong C’est un love song Qui bouge, bouge, ça bouge, la vie en rouge c’est strong C’est un love song Qui tourne, tourne, tourne autour around the sun Sur ma chaise longue Je brûle, brûle, brûle d’amour et d’impatience

I'm old fashioned I love the moonlight I love the old fashioned things The sound of rain Upon a window pane The starry song that April sings This year's fancies Are passing fancies But sighing sighs holding hands These my heart understands I know I'm old fashioned But I don't mind it That's how I want to be As long as you agree To stay old fashioned with me
8.
Solidão, o silêncio das estrelas, a ilusão Eu pensei que tinha o mundo em minhas mãos Como um deus e amanheço mortal E assim, repetindo os mesmos erros, dói em mim Ver que toda essa procura não tem fim E o que é que eu procuro afinal? Um sinal, uma porta pro infinito, o irreal O que não pode ser dito, afinal Ser um homem em busca de mais, de mais Afinal, feito estrelas que brilham em paz, em paz

Aumbaeleo 06:25
If it rains If there's sun I'll find joy in either one And I'll go where the endless river flows If I sink Or I swim I'll find peace living within And I'll go where the endless river flows UMBALEO, UMBALEO AUMBAELEO, AUMBAELEO Humming birds Butterflies They go sailing through the sky And I'll go with the endless wind that blows Skipping stones Climbing trees Now I'm singing with the breeze And I'll go with the endless wind that blows UMBALEO, UMBALEO AUMBAELEO, AUMBAELEO

A song, a sound, a sigh A breath, a smile, a cry The wind, the sand, the eye A step, a path, a try The sea, the shore, the tide The why and the reply

about

Vocalist and composer Céline Rudolph glides between Berlin, São Paulo, Paris and New York, between tongues and genres, always landing in the very heart of music.

The “jewel of European vocal jazz” (French radio station, TSF) and adventurous pearl fisher sailed from Berlin to Brooklyn for her new album PEARLS. Co-producer Jamire Williams whose musical résumé boasts names like Herbie Hancock, Solange Knowles, John Mayer, or Robert Glasper says: „I‘ve never heard anything like Céline‘s music, she writes in such a unique way, and her vocal sound is second to none. Her vibe and flow in connection with what our band has created make this production so special.“ PEARLS creates a new color in her musical jewelry box that blends singer-songwriter melodies with urban jazz and was recorded with Lionel Loueke on guitar, Leo Genovese on piano and keys, Burniss Travis on bass and Jamire Williams on drums.
