Lyrics:
I need a hero
Im holding out for a hero til the end of the night
Hes gotta be strong, and hes gotta be fast
And hes gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
Im holding out for a hero til the morning light
Hes gotta be sure, and its gotta be soon
And hes gotta be larger than life
Jennifer Beals
Irene Cara is best known as a singer of movie themes, though she worked as an actress since childhood. Raised in New York City, she appeared on Broadway in 1967 in the musical Maggie Flynn at age eight and can be heard on the cast album for the show The Me Nobody Knows. From the age of 16, she was turning up on television and in films, including a part in the TV mini-series Roots 2 in 1979. In 1980, she was catapulted into stardom and a singing career by her appearance in the film Fame, for which she sang the title song, an Oscar-winning Top Ten hit. Also from the film was her Top 40 hit «Out Here on My Own.» In 1983, she topped the charts with «Flashdance...What a Feelin» from the movie Flashdance, a song she co-wrote that won another Oscar, and Cara won a couple of Grammys for her contributions to the soundtrack. Her What a Feelin album included the hits «Why Me?» and «Breakdance,» and she also made the Top 40 with a third movie theme, «The Dream (Hold on to Your Dream),» from DC Cab. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
Jennifer Beals stars as Alex Owens, a Pittsburgh steel-mill welder by day, and bar dancer by night. Harboring dreams of a career in ballet, she is given financial support in this endeavor by her boss Nick Hurley (Michael Nouri) and moral support by demanding but big-hearted instructor Hanna Long (Lilia Skala). The films signature scene is, of course, Alexs water-drenched dance audition, largely performed in long shot by her dance double Marine Jahan. Essentially an old-fashioned backstage yarn, Flashdance was given a contemporary spin by its pulsating, musical score featuring the Oscar-winning Best Song, Flashdance...What a Feeling, (music by Giorgio Moroder, lyrics by Keith Forsey and Irene Cara).

Its been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Its been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But theyd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me?
Guess what he told me?
He said girl you better try to have fun
No matter what you do, but hes a fool
Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
All the flowers that you planted mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But Im willing to give it another try
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Русский перевод:
7 часов и пятнадцать дней,
с тех пор, как ты забрал свою любовь.
Я выхожу каждую ночь и сплю весь день,
с тех пор, с тех пор, как ты забрал свою любовь.
С тех пор, как ты ушёл, я могу делать — что захочу,
я могу видеться — с кем захочу.
Я могу обедать в модном ресторане.
Но ничто.
Я говорю, ничто не может развеять эту печаль.
Потому что ничто не сравнится,
ничто не сравнится с тобой.
Здесь так одиноко без тебя,
как птице одиноко без песни.
Ничто не может остановить падение этих одиноких слез.
Скажи мне малыш, где я ошиблась?
Я могла бы обнять любого парня, которого увидела,
но они только бы напомнили мне о тебе.
Я сходила к доктору и знаешь, что он мне сказал?
Знаешь, что он мне сказал?
Он сказал, девушка, вы лучше попробуйте получать удовольствие,
от всего что делаете, но он — дурак.
Потому что ничто не сравнится,
ничто не сравнится с тобой.
Все цветы, что ты посадил маме
на заднем дворе.
Все погибли, когда ты ушел.
Я знаю, что жить с тобой, малыш, было иногда сложно,
но я хочу попробовать еще раз.
Ничто не сравнится,
ничто не сравнится с тобой.
Some filmmakers can do action. Others can do comedy. But for 40 years, the master of combining them has been Jackie Chan. Let’s see how he does it. (Note: to see the names of the films, press the CC button!)
