More songs about lies

Sweet little lies

If I could turn the page
In time then I’d rearrange just a day or two
Close my, close my, close my eyes
But I couldn’t find a way
So I’ll settle for one day to believe in you
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies

Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies
Tell me lies
Tell me, tell me lies
Oh no-no, you can’t disguise
You can’t disguise
No, you can’t disguise
Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies

Although I’m not making plans
I hope that you’ll understand there’s a reason why
Close your, close your, close your eyes
No more broken hearts
We’re better off apart, let’s give it a try
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies

Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies

Lies

Yeah
Uh, huh
La, da, da, da, da
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
Hey, baby my nose is getting big
I noticed it be growing when I been telling them fibs
Now you say your trust’s gettin’ weaker
Probably ’cause my lies just started gettin’ deeper
And the reason for my confession is that I learn my lesson
And I really think you have to know the truth
Because I lied and I cheated and I lied a little more
But after I did it I don’t know what I did it for
I admit that I have been a little immature
With your heart like I was the pre-da-tor
In my book of lies I was the editor
And the author
I forged my signature
And now I apologize for what I did to ya
‘Cause what you did to me I did to you
No, no, no, no baby, no, no, no, no don’t lie
No, no, no, no, yeah you know, know, know, know you gotta try
What you gonna do when it all comes out
When I’m here to see you, what you’re all about
No, no, no, no baby, no, no, no, no don’t lie
Yeah you know, know, know, know, you gotta try (stop, st-st-stop, st-st-stop lying)
She said I’m leaving
‘Cause she can’t take the pain
It’s hard to continue this love it ain’t the same
Can’t forget the things that I’ve done inside her brain
Too many lies committed too many games
She feeling like a fool getting on the last train
Tryin’ to maintain but the feeling won’t change
I’m sorry for the things that I’ve done and what I became
Caught up in living my life in the fast lane
Blinded by lights, cameras, you know the fame
I don’t know the reason why I did these things
And I lie and I lie
And I lie and I lie
And now our emotions are drained
‘Cause I lie and I lie and a little lie lie
And now your emotions are drained
No, no, no, no baby, no, no, no, no don’t lie (no don’t you lie)
No, no, no, no, yeah you know, know, know, know you gotta try (you gotta try, gotta try)
What you gonna do when it all comes out (what you gonna do baby)
When I’m here to see you, what you’re all about
No, no, no, no baby, no, no, no, no don’t lie
Because you know, know, know, know, you gotta try
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Ba da, ba da, ba da, ba da, badabada, badabada, badabada, badabada
Ba da, ba da, ba da, ba da, badabada, badabada, badabada, badabada
Yo, I’m lying to my girl
Even though I love her
And she all in my world
I give her all my attention and diamonds and pearls
She’s the one who makes me feel on top of the world
Still I lie to my girl, I do it
And I lie and I lie and I lie (and then I lie) ’til there’s no turning back
I don’t know why, and I lie and I lie ’til I don’t know who I am
No, no, no, no baby, no, no, no, no don’t lie (don’t you lie)
No, no, no, no, yeah you know, know, know, know you gotta try (you know, you know, you gotta)
What you gonna do when it all comes out
When I’m here to see you, what you’re all about
No, no, no, no baby, no, no, no, no don’t lie
No, no, no babe, no, no, no, no (stop, st-st-stop, st-st-stop lying)

On line translation of the lyrics:


Yeah

UH Huh
Uh, huh

La, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da

Lo siento, lo siento, lo siento, lo siento
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry

Oye, nena, mi nariz se está poniendo grande
Hey, baby my nose is getting big

Noté que estaba creciendo cuando les estaba diciendo mentiras
I noticed it be growing when I been telling them fibs

Ahora dices que tu confianza se está debilitando
Now you say your trust’s gettin’ weaker

Probablemente porque mis mentiras empezaron a ser más profundas
Probably ’cause my lies just started gettin’ deeper

Y el motivo de mi confesión es que aprendo la lección
And the reason for my confession is that I learn my lesson

Y realmente creo que tienes que saber la verdad
And I really think you have to know the truth

Porque mentí y engañé y mentí un poco más
Because I lied and I cheated and I lied a little more

Pero después de que lo hice, no sé para qué lo hice.
But after I did it I don’t know what I did it for

reconozco que he sido un poco inmaduro
I admit that I have been a little immature

Con tu corazón como si yo fuera el depredador
With your heart like I was the pre-da-tor

En mi libro de mentiras yo era el editor
In my book of lies I was the editor

y el autor
And the author

Falsifiqué mi firma
I forged my signature

Y ahora me disculpo por lo que te hice
And now I apologize for what I did to ya

Porque lo que me hiciste yo te lo hice a ti
‘Cause what you did to me I did to you

No, no, no, no bebé, no, no, no, no, no mientas
No, no, no, no baby, no, no, no, no don’t lie

No, no, no, no, sí, ya sabes, sabes, sabes, tienes que intentarlo.
No, no, no, no, yeah you know, know, know, know you gotta try

¿Qué vas a hacer cuando todo salga a la luz?
What you gonna do when it all comes out

Cuando estoy aquí para verte, de qué se trata
When I’m here to see you, what you’re all about

No, no, no, no bebé, no, no, no, no, no mientas

ella dijo que me voy
She said I’m leaving

Porque ella no puede soportar el dolor
‘Cause she can’t take the pain

Es difícil continuar con este amor, no es lo mismo
It’s hard to continue this love it ain’t the same

No puedo olvidar las cosas que he hecho dentro de su cerebro
Can’t forget the things that I’ve done inside her brain

Demasiadas mentiras cometidas demasiados juegos
Too many lies committed too many games

Se siente como una tonta subiendo al último tren
She feeling like a fool getting on the last train

Tratando de mantener pero el sentimiento no cambiará
Tryin’ to maintain but the feeling won’t change

Lo siento por las cosas que he hecho y en lo que me convertí
I’m sorry for the things that I’ve done and what I became

Atrapado en vivir mi vida en el carril rápido
Caught up in living my life in the fast lane

Cegado por luces, cámaras, conoces la fama
Blinded by lights, cameras, you know the fame

No sé la razón por la que hice estas cosas.
I don’t know the reason why I did these things

Y miento y miento
And I lie and I lie

Y miento y miento
And I lie and I lie

Y ahora nuestras emociones están agotadas
And now our emotions are drained

Porque miento y miento y una pequeña mentira, mentira
‘Cause I lie and I lie and a little lie lie

Y ahora tus emociones están agotadas
And now your emotions are drained

No, no, no, no bebé, no, no, no, no, no mientas (no, no mientas)
No, no, no, no baby, no, no, no, no don’t lie (no don’t you lie)

Le doy toda mi atención y diamantes y perlas
I give her all my attention and diamonds and pearls

Ella es la que me hace sentir en la cima del mundo

Todavía le miento a mi chica, lo hago

Picasso Celebration 1973-2023: 50 exhibitions and events to celebrate Picasso

https://celebracionpicasso.es/en

April 8, 2023 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Spanish artist Pablo Picasso and thus the year will represent a celebration of his work and his artistic legacy in France, Spain and internationally.

The French and Spanish governments wished to mark this transnational event through a bi-national commission, bringing together the cultural and diplomatic administrations of both countries. The Picasso Celebration 1973 – 2023 revolves around some fifty exhibitions and events to be held at renowned cultural institutions in Europe and North America that, together, address a historiographical analysis of Picasso’s work. The commemoration, accompanied by official celebrations in France and Spain, will make it possible to take stock of the research and interpretations of the artist’s work, especially during an important international symposium in autumn 2023, which also coincides with the opening of the Center for Picasso Studies in Paris.

The Musée national Picasso-Paris and the Spanish National Commission for the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the death of Pablo Picasso are pleased to support this exceptional program.
