Won't You Be Mine - FINALLY YOUTUBE ON ROMANIAN TELEVISION

[Casia - lyricist]

I wrote English lyrics for a cover song we did to a Romanian pop song called Ramai Cu Mine by Andra.  It was televised on National TV in Romania during a pop festival in late September, however, my collaborator never placed  .  However, the originators of the music loved our version and are suppose to be giving us permission to use their cover song on a CD we are putting together - I guess that's cool!!

Here's the Final version.  If you only listen to one part, you have to listen to the final two chorus' at the end of the song.  I get shivers with her high notes.  She has a very strong accent!!

Lyrics:  Katherine Wong - Casia (Canada)
Vocals: Victoria Linskaya (Russia)
Music:  Adrian Romcescu (Romanian Composer for Andra)



Won't You Be Mine

(Verse 1)
Day by day I'm
Living in the past
And I will never forget
The first day we met
Looking in your eyes
My heart began to fly
On the wings of love
I  just can't say good-bye

(Prechorus)
My life's a tragedy
Without you close to me
I'll ride far away
Through the night
To be close by your side
To feel your beating heart
To turn the darkest day into light

(Chorus)
Won't you be mine
Our love is meant to be
You mean so much to me
Travellin' a thousand miles
To share just one more smile
Won't you be mine
Love is a golden key
Unlocks eternity
I need you by my side
I need you on this ride
How can I...Say good-bye

(Verse 2)
Last night I dreamed
You were in my life
Holding me in your arms
Saying our love is strong
Then you poured away
All of my shame
Into an empty glass
And drank away my pain

(Prechorus)
My life's a tragedy
Without you close to me
I'll ride far away
Through the night
To be close by your side
To feel your beating heart
To turn the darkest day into light

(Chorus)
Won't you be mine
Our love is meant to be
You mean so much to me
Travellin' a thousand miles
To share just one more smile
Won't you be mine
Love is a golden key
Unlocks eternity
I need you by my side
I need you on this ride
How can I...Say good-bye

(Bridge)
You are always on my mind
Why can't you be mine
Why oh why oh why
Am I the other woman

(Chorus - Romanian)
(Chorus - English)

Very nice Casia!

[Benny]

Good job on that one!

And you weren't kidding about the high notes. I turned it up and my dog is still mad at me.

HERE IT IS FINALLY!

Here is a youtube link for you to listen to one of my songs.  This is Victoria Linskaya and Andrew Konstur of Moscow, Russia, in August of 2008.  Victoria sang one of my pop lyrics at the 2008 Golden Stag International Pop Festival in Brasnov, Romania. It was televised live on Romania's largest national television network, Televiziunea Romana.  The song is "Won't You Be Mine" and I wrote new English lyrics to this cover song by Romanian Pop Star Andra and her song "Ramai Cu Mine", which means Stay with me.  The Romanian composer, Adrian Romescu,  loved our version and will be giving us permission to use it on a pop album we are producing.

Victoria will be singing "Won't You Be Mine" at Martisor, an upcoming musical festival in the Republic of Moldova on March 7-10, 2009.

[soulfrontier]

great song and vocals! And wonderful lyrics too. she is also beautiful. I think she should be a super star.

[Casia - lyricist]

Thanks Holger:

I'll let her know what you said.  She'll be pleased.

[detune]

That's so cool Casia!  Your lyrics are great and go really well with the song.  I hope she gets the album done soon so she can take full advantage of the TV exposure.  Not many artists get that kind of opportunity!

Wow...thats a feather in your cap Casia...hope that makes hubby cut you some slack now! (probably scaring him to be honest...would scare myself as well! ).
I'm actually at a loss why the big guns and their labels aren't all over these people as I write this, as they have the whole package to explode that market...she's a star! . If I were you,(Sir) Branson (owner of Virgin records/empire/space travel company/airlines..that guy that flies around in those baloons) is in town now for the next day or so..I'd personally slap that vid in his hands (think he's at the Westin I believe)..go..go go.!

Jay

[Casia - lyricist]

Thanks everyone, I was thrilled.

Well Marc there is a snow storm on the way...maybe we can keep him in town for a few extra days.  The university is almost next door to the Westin....I may just hang around the lobby  .  Uhmmm "knock, knock....housekeeping
