Thunder and Lightning
© Written by Chi Coltrane (1971)

Ooh! What a good thing I've got
Oh it's such a good thing I've got
I don't think I can stand it

Thunder and Lightning
I tell you it's frightening
It's thunder and lightning
And you're in control

I thought my life was complete
But look what you're doin' to me
Oh! You're makin' me crazy

Thunder and Lightning
I tell you it's frightening
It's thunder and lightning
And you're in control

I don't know how to handle it
It's more than I would dare
I wouldn't try to run from it
It reaches me everywhere
I'm feelin' dizzy and weak
You make me forget how to speak
I can feel it happening

Thunder and Lightning
I tell you it's frightening
It's thunder and lightning
And you're in control

I don't know how to handle it
It's more than I would dare
I wouldn't try to run from it
It reaches me everywhere

Ooh! What a good thing I've got
Oh it's such a good thing I've got
I don't think I can stand it.

Goodbye John

© Written by Chi Coltrane (1972)

Are you afraid of me baby;
A little girl like me baby?
Why can't you talk straight, and tell the truth?
Can't you take some sorrow,
If I'll be gone tomorrow?

You lie to me about what's been goin' down
I'm westward bound--
I'm westward bound
I'm walkin' down the road with the sunshine on my hair
Life is really something I can feel it everywhere
Well, I guess it's been sometime since I got high on breathin' air
Without a care-- without a care
I don't know where I'm goin' I'm just heading toward the sun.
I feel so good it seems as if my life has just begun,
I don't know why I took so long to do what must be done;
It's Goodbye John--

Goodbye John--
I guess that I've been hurt and yet I'm making out okay
I feel a little wiser for the price I had to pay
And I never cared for obligations anyway.
Farewell my babe...
Farewell my babe...
Well, is it too much to ask someone to level honestly?
Is it like a friend to lie to you as if you cannot see?
Well, now that's not my idea of what love should really be;
I'm glad I'm free,
So glad I'm free.
I still have me,
And Lord, I'm so glad I'm free.

You Were My Friend

© Written by Chi Coltrane (1972)

You came in my home and took from me
All that I had to give
I thought that we would be good friends
For as long as we should live
I had some past experience with
People just like you
But I never thought you were that kind
So what was I to do
You were my friend, you were my friend
How can you stand and lie to me
And look me in the face
I wish I knew what strange disease
Could make you act that way
All the things we did together
I've known you for so long
I always did believe in you
How could I be so wrong?
You were my friend, you were my friend
How could you let me down? You were my friend
I guess for the sake of all we had
I should try to understand
But it just doesn't make much sense to me
To trust in you again
I wish we could forget it all
But I don't think that we can
Oh, why did this ever happen to us
My best and dearest friend
You were my friend, you were my friend
How could you let me down?
You were my friend
...Well, I guess that friendships
All come to an end.

Turn Me Around

© Written by Chi Coltrane (1972)

I know I've hurt you
And I wonder if you know
That I never really meant to
No I never really meant to
Things have happened in my life
Which have brought me to the way I am today
Don't you know-- For you I'd gladly change

Turn me around, turn me around
Lead me to the place I should be found
Turn me around, turn me around
Lift me to higher ground
If you really really want to
You know that you can mold me-- to you

It would be so easy
To give up and walk away
But please don't let that happen...
We just cannot let that happen
Things that I have done to you
Have made you think that I don't really care
How can I show you you I do?

Turn me around, turn me around
Lead me to the place I should be found
Turn me around, turn me around
Lift me to higher ground.

Go Like Elijah

© Written by Chi Coltrane (1972)

Someday my time to die will come.
When that will be, I do not know
I only know that when I have to go.
Yeah, when I go— I wanna go
Just let me go— Lord, when I go
Yeah, when I go— Lord, let me go

Just let me go like Elijah when I go
I want to rise right up into the sky
And ride white horses with fiery eyes
Lord for my sins I apologize

Just let me go — Lord when I go
When my time comes for me to go
Just let me go like Elijah when I go
I don't want no tombstone above my head
And I don't want no pinebox for my bed
And I don't want anyone to say I'm dead.
I don't want no one cryin'
Or feelin' sad
Or standin' in the rain without their hat
I wanna go up happy — Imagine that
Yeah, when I go— I wanna go
Just let me go -—Lord, when I go,
Yeah, when I go— Lord, let me go
Just let me go like Elijah when I go
I want to rise right up into the sky
And ride white horses with fiery eyes
Lord for my sins I apologize
Just let me go— Lord when I go
When my time comes for me to go
Just let me go like Elijah when I go...

The Tree

© Written by Chi Coltrane (1972)

I took my troubles to the tree
Hoping I could find m way to peace
I didn't know where my life would lead
So I took my troubles to the tree
I told my story to the breeze
When no one seemed to listen to me
And like the breeze I now am free
Since I told my story to the breeze

Well, I laid me down in the sun
It's warmth and I became one
And I missed the sun when the day was done
He was such a friend to me the sun
Oh yeah—

This world can't give me any peace
It seems that love will never really be
And my troubled mind must find release
So I sat me down beneath the tree

Well, I laid me down in the sun
It's warmth and I became as one
And I missed the sun when the day was done
He was such a friend to me the sun-
Oh yeah—

I took my troubles to the tree
And God's own son looked down on me
All I know is I was blind and now I see
Since I took my troubles to the tree
And I believe we all can find the way to peace
If we take our troubles to the tree

Feelin' Good

© Written by Chi Coltrane (1972)

I've been alone, for a time—
Oh yeah baby—
I've been stung so I let
Love go by without waving
'Cause I never thought I'd fall in love again
And I didn't try 'cause I think of when
I was so in love
An' it didn't work out
But now you came in an' you make me wanna' shout
'Cause I'm feelin' good — you've got me feelin' good
O yeah I'm feelin' good
You've got me feelin' good
I don't know where you've been
Such a long time abiding
But I'm glad that you've finally come out of hiding
And now I don't care what my life has been
'Cause I know I'll never go back again
You're heavy babe got me singin' all day
An' I don't know how to say it any other way
I'm just feelin' good — you've got me feelin' good
Oh yeah I'm feelin' good
You've got me feelin' good
You brought joy to my soul
And it's been so long since
I felt this way
I just wake up smiling every day
I've got so much love
In my heart for you
And I'm gonna let all that
Love come on through
I'm just feelin' good —
you've got me feelin' good
Oh yeah I'm feelin' good
You've got me feelin' good

It's Really Come to This

© Written by Chi Coltrane (1972)

Got my things all together
And I'm ready to leave you baby
But it doesn't come easy
And there's something that holds me back here
And as I look around the room
Happiness haunts me
Lord knows it's been here
But something's happened
And it's now very clear
What went wrong?
But I have to be strong
We just can't go on
If it makes any difference
My life won't be the same without you
I'll never forget you
Or the good times we've had together
And as the tears roll down my face
I guess I'm still trying
To think of an answer
A way under heaven
To tell me I should stay
I don't want to leave
I just can't believe
That's it's really come to this
Yes, it's really come to this.

I Will Not Dance

© Written by Chi Coltrane (1972)

Did you say you're a public servant?
Well, then let me ask you why
You're keeping the public uninformed
When you're not feedin' us with lies
Listen to our founding fathers
Sit down and read the Bill of Rights
You'd better learn how to play the game by the rules
Or you're gonna have an awful fight
'Cause I will not dance to your music
And I will not drink your wine
And I will not toast to your success
Because you're no friend of mine, oh yeah you know it
You're no friend of mine
Why do you take my brother?
And why do you take my son?
Shipping them off to another land
To fight a war that can't be won
You can't say you don't know better
Because by now the truth is out
The people are all sick of following you
Because you don't know what it's all about

That's right, you don't know what it's all about
So I will not dance to your music
And I will not drink your wine
And I will not toast to your success
Because you're no friend of mine, oh yeah you know it
You're no friend of mine
I'm the younger generation and I love my country land
I can't stand to watch the nation fall apart
'Cause you won't understand
God help you "public servant"
When you stand before the King
When your works are shown and your lies are known
And your wasted life won't mean a thing
So pay attention to me as I sing
'Cause I will not dance to your music
And I will not drink your wine
And I will not toast to your success
Because you're no friend of mine, oh yeah you know it
You're no friend of mine.

Time To Come In

© Written by Chi Coltrane (1972)

Well I think that I've cried long enough
And I guess I've tried too hard
And I've had my share of worry
That's for sure
A man can really bring you down
If you let him get on your heart
I've got to get myself together
For the cure--
It's time to come in out of the rain
Ain't gonna let it pour
On my life anymore
I'm looking for a better way
To live the only life that I have got
And now I know I'll find it
You just see
I've gone though all those changes
That only bring you down
And nothing's gonna put a weight on me
It's time to come in out of the rain
Ain't gonna let it pour
On my life anymore.

The Wheel of Life

© Written by Chi Coltrane (1972)

Life is like a ferris wheel
It keeps on turning without feel
As it spins round and round
It picks you up and lets you down
Up and down and back again
The world seems to be in a spin
Will this crazy cycle ever end?
And when it does-- what then?

The sun goes down and comes up again
I can't remember where I've been
The Ferris wheel goes round and round
I wonder if I'll hit the ground
I almost do-- I almost do,
But then somehow I've made it through!
The wheel climbs on-- I'm up on top again
Where is my life leading to?
Whatever am I coming to?
Sometimes fast-- sometimes slow
It makes a circle as it goes
As I face the ground below,
I fear the wheel may lose control
I know that I've been here before--
I do no know much more

Then the wheel begins to rise
And I can almost touch the sky
It feels so good it makes me glad
And now my life doesn't feel so bad
The good and bad times come and go,
As round and round the wheel must go
And you and I -- ride this wheel of life.

Biography by Charles Donovan

When Chi Coltrane's first single, "Thunder and Lightning" made the US top 20 in 1972, it seemed like the auspicious start of a long and distinguished career.
The timing was right, and the performer appeared to have everything going for her - she was a prodigious pianist, a skilled composer, a fine vocalist, and distinctly photogenic. Furthermore, her style - a sort of ultra-sophisticated take on Carole King and Elton John - was perfect for the times. But, for various reasons (an aversion to self-promotion, in particular), she never consolidated her initial success, and settled instead for a small, but loyal cult following, both in North America and Europe. Chi (pronounced "shy") Coltrane (b.Nov 16, 1948 Racine, Wisconsin) was one of seven children born to a Canadian mother, and a German violinist father. She studied a number of instruments as a child, and gave her first piano recital at 12. In 1970, she formed Chicago Coltrane, playing blues, funk and gospel in local clubs and bars.
She was signed to Columbia in 1972, on the strength of a six-song demo tape, and her first album, the entirely self-written Chi Coltrane appeared that year. In November 1972, her first single "Thunder and Lightning" reached number 17.
Chi Coltrane was well-received critically, and spent three months in the lower reaches of the top 200.
In 1973 Coltrane attended the Salter School of Music in Los Angeles, and made another album (Let It Ride), which was greeted with similar acclaim to her first, but which failed to find an audience. Coltrane sought solace and inspiration in religion (she was allegedly fiercely committed to bible study, and Jesus, but disinclined to follow organised religion), and put her recording career on hold for a few years. Following the release of Road To Tomorrow in 1977, Coltrane moved to Europe and signed with Teldec, releasing three albums during the 80s, each with more of a new-wave, Euro-rock flavour than her early records. Since the last of these (1986's The Message), her profile has been extremely low. Apart from some soundtrack work in Germany, and a collaboration with Tangerine Dream in 1991, there has been little activity from her, although material from her first two albums appeared on CD during the 90s. (allmusic)

 

Review: http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=srtbgc9dob2i?tname=chi-coltrane-1972-album-by-chi-coltrane&curtab=2375_1&sbid=lc07a

It's clear from the opening moments of Chi Coltrane's self-titled debut that she's a singer/songwriter a few musical cuts above the rest. Primarily, this is down to her piano-playing. Where even the most respected artists of the genre could only play basic block chords or arpeggios (Laura Nyro and Joni Mitchell, respectively), Coltrane is a player's player, and an equal of any session musician. The eleven songs on Chi Coltrane give her ample opportunity to show off. "Thunder and Lightning" (an absolute white soul gem) was her first single, and a top 20 hit, but it tells only a fraction of the story. The rest of the album displays a complete mastery and understanding of gospel ("Go Like Elijah"), as well music of both the Classical and Romantic periods ("The Wheel of Life"), and in addition, she comes up with a few hybrids of her own ("You Were My Friend"). Her vocals, alternatively tender, spirited, angry, and with a wonderful "on-the-verge-of-tears" quality, are at odds with the dreamy inertia of most mid-70s performers. They invest every cut with a compelling sense of drama and anxiety. Coltrane may not be a top-drawer wordsmith (although she's certainly quite good), but her lyrics are clear-headed, unpretentious and direct. For subject matter, she draws mainly on love, friendship, religion (tentatively), and philosophy. Although much press attention focussed on her glacial, blonde good looks (think a less scary, pre-heroin Nico), this album was a triumph of style and substance in equal measure.

9 Lorsqu’ils eurent passé, Elie dit à Elisée: Demande ce que tu veux que je fasse pour toi, avant que je sois enlevé d’avec toi. Elisée répondit: Qu’il y ait sur moi, je te prie, une double portion de ton esprit!
10 Elie dit: Tu demandes une chose difficile. Mais si tu me vois pendant que je serai enlevé d’avec toi, cela t’arrivera ainsi; sinon, cela n’arrivera pas.
11 Comme ils continuaient à marcher en parlant, voici, un char de feu et des chevaux de feu les séparèrent l’un de l’autre, et Elie monta au ciel dans un tourbillon. (2 Rois 2/9-11)

9 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
10 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.
11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. (2 Kings 2/ 9-11)

9 Und es geschah, als sie hinübergegangen waren, da sprach Elia zu Elisa: Begehre, was ich dir tun soll, ehe ich von dir genommen werde. Und Elisa sprach: So möge mir doch ein zwiefaches Teil von deinem Geiste werden!
10 Und er sprach: Du hast Schweres begehrt! Wenn du mich sehen wirst, wann ich von dir genommen werde, so soll dir also geschehen; wenn aber nicht, so wird es nicht geschehen.
11 Und es geschah, während sie gingen und im Gehen redeten, siehe da, ein Wagen von Feuer und Rosse von Feuer, welche sie beide voneinander trennten; und Elia fuhr im Sturmwind auf gen Himmel. (2 Könige 2/9-11)

_______________

9 Het geschiedde nu, als zij overgekomen waren, dat Elia zeide tot Elisa: Begeer wat ik u doen zal, eer ik van bij u weggenomen worde. En Elisa zeide: Dat toch twee delen van uw geest op mij zijn!
10 En hij zeide: Gij hebt een harde zaak begeerd; indien gij mij zult zien, als ik van bij u weggenomen worde, het zal u alzo geschieden; doch zo niet, het zal niet geschieden.
11 En het gebeurde, als zij voortgingen, gaande en sprekende, ziet, zo was er een vurige wagen met vurige paarden, die tussen hen beiden scheiding maakten. Alzo voer Elia met een onweder ten hemel. (2 Koningen 2/9-11)

9 Dopo che furono passati, Elia disse ad Eliseo: “Chiedi ci• che vuoi che io faccia per te, prima che sia portato via da te”. Eliseo rispose: “Ti prego, fa’ che una doppia porzione del tuo spirito venga su di me”.
10 Elia disse: “Tu hai chiesto una cosa difficile; tuttavia, se mi vedrai quando sar• portato via da te, ci• ti sar… concesso, altrimenti non l’avrai”.
11 Ora, mentre essi camminavano discorrendo, ecco un carro di fuoco, e cavalli di fuoco li separarono l’uno dall’altro, ed Elia sal. al cielo in un turbine. 2 Re 2/9-11)

original

Someday my time to die will come

when that will be, I do not know

I only know that when I have to go

Yeah, when I go, I wanna go

Just let me go, oh, when I go

I wanna go, Lord, let me go

just let me go like Elijah when I go

 

I want to rise right up into the sky

and ride white horses with fiery eyes

Lord for my sins I apologize

just let me go, I wanna go

when my time comes for me to go

I wanna go like Elijah when I go

 

I don't want no tombstone above my head

and I don't want no pinebox for my bed

and I don't want anyone to say I'm dead

 

Lord, when I go, I wanna go

just let me go, oh, when I go

I wanna go, Lord, let me go

just let me go like Elijah when I go

I want to rise right up into the sky

and ride white horses with fiery eyes

Lord for my sins I apologize

just let me go, I wanna go

when my time comes for me to go

just let me go like Elijah when I go

 

I don't want no one cryin'

or feelin' sad

or standin' in the rain without their hat

I wanna go up happy, imagine that

 

Yeah, when I go, just let me go

I wanna go - when I go

just me go - yeah, when I go

I wanna go like Elijah when I go

 

I want to rise right up into the sky

and ride white horses with fiery eyes

Lord for my sins I apologize

just let me go, I wanna go

when my time comes for me to go

just let me go like Elijah when I go...

I wanna go like Elijah when I go

just let me go like Elijah when I go...

 

 

traduction

Un jour mon temps viendra,

Quand cela arrivera t-il, je l'ignore

mais je sais seulement que lorsque je devrai partir

Oui! quand je partirai— Je veux partir

Laisse moi seulement partir— Seigneur, lorsque je partirai

Oui! quand je partirai— Seigneur, laisse moi partir

laisse moi seulement partir comme Elie lorsque je partirai

 

je veux m'élever directement vers le ciel

Et chevaucher des chevaux avec des yeux comme des flammes de feu

Seigneur, pardonne moi pour mes péchés,

laisse moi juste partir— Seigneur, lorsque je partirai

Quand l'heure de partir pour moi surviendra

Laisse moi seulement partir comme Elie lorsque je partirai,

 

je ne veux point de pierre tombale au-dessus de ma tête

Et je ne veux point de cercueil en pin en guise de lit

Et je ne veux personne pour annoncer que je suis morte

 

Seigneur, quand je partirai— Je veux partir

Laisse moi seulement partir— lorsque je partirai

Oui! quand je partirai— Seigneur, laisse moi partir

laisse moi seulement partir comme Elie lorsque je partirai

je veux m'élever directement vers le ciel

Et chevaucher des chevaux avec des yeux comme des flammes de feu

Seigneur, pardonne moi pour mes péchés

Laisse moi seulement partir, Seigneur lorsque je partirai

Quand mon temps viendra de partir

Laisse moi juste partir comme Elie quand je devrai partir...

 

Je ne veux aucune personne qui pleure

ou se sentir triste

ou se tenir sous la pluie sans chapeau

Je veux partir heureuse— Imagine cela,

 

Oui! quand je partirai— Je veux partir

Laisse moi seulement partir— Seigneur, lorsque je partirai,

Oui! quand je partirai— Seigneur, laisse moi partir

Laisse moi seulement partir comme Elie lorsque je partirai,

 

je veux m'élever directement vers le ciel

Et chevaucher des chevaux avec des yeux comme des flammes de feu

Seigneur, pardonne moi pour mes péchés

Laisse moi seulement partir, Seigneur lorsque je partirai

Quand mon temps viendra de partir

Laisse moi juste partir comme Elie quand je devrai partir...

Oui! quand je partirai— Je veux partir

laisse moi seulement partir comme Elie lorsque je partirai

Ooit zal mijn tijd om te sterven komen
wanneer dat zal zijn, weet ik niet
ik weet alleen dat wanneer ik moet gaan

Yeah, als ik ga, wil ik gaan
laat me gewoon gaan, oh, als ik ga
wil ik gaan, Heer, laat me gaan
laat me gewoon gaan als Elia als ik ga

Ik wil opstijgen in de lucht
en op witte paarden met vurige ogen rijden
Heer voor mijn zonden bied ik mijn verontschuldiging aan
laat me gewoon gaan, ik wil gaan
als mijn tijd om te gaan komt
wil ik gaan als Elia als ik ga

Ik wil geen grafsteen boven mijn hoofd
en ik wil geen vurenhouten kist als mijn bed
en ik wil niet dat iemand zegt dat ik dood ben

Heer,als ik ga, wil ik gaan
laat me gewoon gaan, oh, als ik ga
ik wil gaan, Heer, laat me gaan
laat me gewoon gaan als Elia als ik ga

Ik wil opstijgen in de lucht
en op witte paarden met vurige ogen rijden

als mijn tijd om te gaan komt
wil ik gaan als Elia als ik ga

Ik wil dat niemand huilt
of verdrietig is
of in de regen staat zonder hoed
ik wil gelukkig omhoog gaan, stel je dat voor

Yeah, als ik ga, laat me gewoon gaan
ik wil gaan - als ik ga
laat me gewoon gaan - yeah, als ik ga
wil ik gaan als Elia als ik ga

Ik wil opstijgen in de lucht
en op witte paarden met vurige ogen rijden
Heer voor mijn zonden bied ik mijn verontschuldiging aan
laat me gewoon gaan, ik wil gaan
als mijn tijd om te gaan komt
wil ik gaan als Elia als ik ga...
ik wil gaan als Elia als ik ga
laat me gaan als Elia als ik ga...
