Tell me what love is, what can it be
What is this yearning burning me?
Can I survive it, will I endure?
This is my sickness, is there a cure?
First his obsession seizing my brain,
Starting in passion, ending in pain.
I start to shiver, then I'm on fire,
Then I'm aquiver with seething desire.
Who knows the secret, who holds the key?
I long for something - what can it be?
My brain is reeling, I wonder why;
And then the feeling I'm going to die.
By day it haunts me, haunts me by night.
This tender torment, tinged with delight!
Tell me wht love is, what can it be?
What is this yearning, burning in me?
What is this yearning, burning in me?
What is this yearning, burning in me?
I hear him before I go to sleep
And focus on the day that's been
I realize he's there when I turn the light off
And turn over
Nobody knows about my man
They think he's lost on some horizon
And suddenly I find myself
Listening to a man I've never known before
Telling me about the sea
All his love, 'til eternity
[Chorus]
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
He's very understanding
And he's so aware of all my situations
And when I stay up late
He's always waiting
But I feel him hesitate
Oh, I'm so worried about my love
They say "No, no, it won't last forever"
And here I am again my girl
Wondering what on earth I'm doing here
Maybe he doesn't love me
I just took a trip on my love for him
[Chorus x2]
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
Ooh, he's here again
Lully, lullay, thou little tiny child,
By, by, lully,lullay:
Lully, thou little tiny child,
By,by lully, lullay
O sisters too, how may we do,
For to preserve this day,
This poor young ling, for whom we do sing,
By,by, lully,lullay?
Herod the king in his raging,
Charged he hath this day
His men of might, in his own sight
All children young to slay.
Then woe is me, poor child, for thee,
And ever mourn and say,
For thy parting nor say nor sing,
By,by, lully,lullay.
Guide me O Thou great Redeemer
Pilgrim through this barren land.
I am weak but Thou art mighty
Hold me with thy powerful hand.
Bread of heaven
Feed me now and evermore
Open now the crystal fountain
Whence the healing streams do flow,
Let the fiery cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey though,
Strong Deliverer
Be Thou still my strength and shield.
When I tread the verge of Jordan
Bid my fears subside
Death of death,
And hell's destruction,
Land me safe on Canaan's side,
Songs of praises
I will ever give to thee.
Night of stars, and night of love,
Fall gently o'er the waters,
Heav'n around below, above,
No more we'll heed the shore!
Floating thus in silver light,
Sing on! Oh earth's fair daughters
Love had ne'er an hour so bright,
In fabled days of yore.
The cadenc'd oar will rhyme
To the measure we sing,
Till even charmed Time,
Fold a moment his wing.
Wander on!
Till the dawn! Ah!
Night of stars, and night of love,
Fall gently o'er the waters,
Heave'n around below, above,
No more we'll heed the shore.
Night of stars and of love,
Ah! Gently fall o'er the waters
Heave'n around below, above!
Ah! Ah!
What child is this,
Who, laid to rest,
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthem sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
This, this is Christ the King,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and lamb are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.
This, this is Christ the King, etc.
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
Come, peasant, kin to own Him;
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
This this is Christ the King...etc
Come, they told me, parum pum pum pum,
A new born King to see, parum pum pum pum,
Our finest gifts we bring, parum pum pum pum,
To lay before the King, parum pum pum pum,
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum.
So to honour Him, parum pum pum pum,
When we come.
Baby Jesus, parum pum pum pum,
I am a poor boy too , parum pum pum pum,
I have no gift to bring, parum pum pum pum,
That's fit to give our King, parum pum pum pum,
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum.
Shall I play for you, parum pum pum pum
On my drum?
Mary nodded parum pum pum pum,
The Ox and Lamb kept time, parum pum pum pum,
I played my drum for Him, parum pum pum pum,
I played my best for Him, parum pum pum pum,
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum.
Then He smiled at me, parum pum pum pum,
Me and my drum.
The first Noel, the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King from Israel.
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far;
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
And by the light of that same star,
Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a king was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse's lineage coming
As men of old have sung
It came, a flow'ret bright,
Amid the cold of winter
When half spent was the light.
Isaiah 'twas foretold it
The rose I have in mind,
With Mary we behold it,
The Virgin Mother kind.
To show God's love aright,
She bore to men a Saviour,
When half spent was the night.
O flow'r, whose fragrance tender
With sweetness fills the air,
Dispel in glorious splendour
The darkness ev'ry where.
True man, yet very God,
From sin and death now save us,
And share our ev're load.
Joy to world, the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King.
Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing ( 3x )
Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns;
Let men their songs employ,
While fields and floods, rock, hills and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy (3x )
No more let sin and sorrow grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground.
He comes to make his blessings flow
Far as the curse is found ( 3x )
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nation prove
The glories of His righteouness
And wonder of His love ( 3x )
Ave Maria, gratia plena
Dominus tecum benedicta tu in mulieribus
Et benedictus fructus ventris tuis Jesus
Sancta Maria, Sancta Maria, Maria
Ora pro nobis
Nobis peccatoribus
Nunc et in hora, in hora mortis nostrae
Amen. Amen.
Chesnusts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping at your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright,
Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa's on his way,
He's loaded lots of toys and goddies on his sleigh,
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Although it's been said many times many ways
"Merry Christmas to you"
And every mother's child...etc.
Silent night! Holy night!
All is calm, all is bright,
Round yon virgin Mother and Child,
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace ( 2x )
Silent night! Holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight;
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia!
Christ the Saviour is born ( 2x )
Silent night! Holy night!
Son of God, love's pure light;
Radiant beams from thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord at thy birth ( 3x )
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum
Wie treu sind deine Bl?tter!
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum
Wie treu sind deine Bl?tter!
Du gr¨¹nst nicht nur zur Sommerzeit,
Nein, auch im Winter, wenn es schneit.
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum
Wie treu sind deine Bl?tter!
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
Wie oft hat nicht zur Weihnachtszeit
Ein Baum von dir mich hoch erfreut!
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
O Tannembaum, O Tannenbaum
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a news and glorious morn,
Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices.
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night divine, O night, O night divine.
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So, led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here came the wise men from the Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,
In all our trials born to be our friend.
He knows our need, He guardeth us from danger;
Behold your King, before Him lowly bend!
Behold you King, before Him lowly bend!
Fall on your knees! etc.

Your call is heard at high noon-day
A wistfull flute across the mere
As herdsman's whistle far away
Your call is heard at midnight clear
Then hear we, as you swell your keen
Barking afar, your hounds unseen
Your flocks the massive clouds of grey
And all four winds, your eager hounds
Awhile do pen them are they stray
And scattler once more out of bounds
A mute and restless drove on high
Amid the shieling of the sky
When at night I go to sleep
Fourteen angels watch do keep
Two my head are guarding
Two my feet are guiding
Two are on my right hand
Two are on my left hand
Two who warmly cover
Two who o'er me hover
Two to whom 'tis given
To guide my steps to Heaven
Pan fyddair'r nos yn olau

When night was lit by moon-glow
And dustly roads lay white
The empty bridge bestrode the stream
O'er water's gleam so bright
The owls were heard, each one in turn
From Cwm y Glo across the burn
When wild ducks swayed at anchor
Beneath the moonbeams bold
When moaning wind it's woe did sing
Whipping the wavelets cold
Pitiless was their hooting then
From Myndd du across the glen
When gleaming Glaslyn glided
Through dusk, like sword to sheath
When distant mansion's windows glowed
Through shadowed woodland's wreath
When sullen silence woodland's wreath
Ynysfor's night to their sounds
And when the worlds shall darken
Ended their frantic day
And when the stealthy stillness minds
All mankind's work and play
Still shall their Latin sound, 'its true
Nor glad nor sad, Tu shit, tu whool
Our Father
Which art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done on earth
As it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom
And the power
And the glory, forever, Amen
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love
The love that asks no questions, the love that stands the test
That lays upon the altar, the dearest and the best
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice
repeat
And there's another country I've heard of long ago
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know
We may not count her armies, we may not see her king
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase
And her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace
O Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone and all the roses falling
It's you, it's you must go and I must hide
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the walley's hushed and white with snow
I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so
But when ye come and all hte flow'rs are crying
If I am dead, as dead I may well be
Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an Ave there for me
And I shall hear through soft you tread above 'em
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace unitl you come to meet
Hunan blentyn, ar fy mynwes

Titha'u'n gwenu'n ol a huno

Gwena'n dawel ar fy mynwes
Ar yr engyl gwynion draw
To my lullaby surrender
Warm and tender is my breast
Mother's arms with love caressing
Lay their blessing on your rest
Nothing shall tonight alarm you
None shall harm you, have no fear
Lie contented, calmly slumber
On your mother's breast, my dear
Here tonight I tightly hold you
And enfold you while you sleep
Why, I wonder, are you smiling
Smiling in your slumber deep?
Are the angels on you smiling
And beguiling you with charm
While you also smile, my blossom
In my bosom soft and warm?
Have no fear now, leaves are knocking
Gently knocking at our door
Have no fear now, waves are beating
Gently beating on the shore
Sleep, my darling, none shall harm you
Nor alarm you, never cry
In my bosom sweetly smiling
And beguiling those on high
The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want
Fresh and green are the pastures where he gives me repose
Near restful waters he leads me to revive my dropping spirit
He guides me along the right path
He is true to his name
If I should walk in the valley of darkness, no evil would I fear
You are there with your crook and your staff, with these you give me compfort
You have prepared a banquet for me in the sight of my foes
My head you have anointed with oil, my cup is overflowing
Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life
In the Lord's own house shall I dwell for ever and ever
In the Lord's own house shall I dwell for ever
Where Lagan stream sings lullaby
There blow a lily fair
The twilight gleam is in her eye
The night is no her hair
And like a love-sick lenanshee
She hath my heart in thrall
Nor life I owe, nor liberty
for love is lord of all
and often when the beetles horn
Hath lulled the eve to sleep
I steal unto here shielding lorn
And thro' the dooring peep
There on the cricket's singing stone
She spares the bog wood fire
And hums in sad sweet undertone
The song of heart's desire
Mae hiraeth yn y mor a'r mynydd maith
Mae hireath mewn distawrwydd ac mewn can
Mewn murmur dyfroedd ar dragywydd daith
Yn oriau'r machlud ac yn fflamau'r tan
Ond mwynaf yn y gwynt y dwed ei gwyn
A thristaf yn yr hesg y cwyna'r gwynt
Gan ddeffro adlais adlais yn y brwyn
Ac yn y galon, atgof atfot gynt
Fel pan wrandawer yn y cyfddydd hir
Ar gan y ceilliog yn y glwyd gerllaw
Yn deffro caniad ar ol caniad clir
O'r gerddi agos, nes o'r llechwedd draw
Y cwyd un olaf ei leferydd ef
A mwyndder trist y pellter yn ei lef
There's longing in the sea and mountains grey
There's longing too in silence and in song
In mum' ring waters on their endless way
At sunset hours and firelight's flames among
But fondest in the wind it makes it moan
And saddest in the sedge the wind replies
Awaking echo's echo with its tone
And mem'ry's mem'ry in the hearts deep sighs
As when one hearkens to the chanticleer
At hand with eager song at break of day
Evoking answer upon answer clear
From nearby gardens, till form far away
A last lone songster lifts his voice on high
With distance's sad longing in its cry
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark Satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spear, oh, clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire
I will not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
'Til we have built Jerusalem
In trutina mentis dubia
fluctuant contraria
lascivus amor et pudicitia
Sed eligo quod video
collum iugo prebeo
ad iugum tamen suave transeo
I am suspended
Between love and chastity
But I choose
What is before me
And take upon myself the sweet yoke
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
T'was grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fear relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come
T'was grace that brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun
Tonight, tonight,
Won't be just any night,
Tonight there will be no morning star.
Tonight, tonight, I'll see my love tonight.
And for us, stars will stop where they are.
Today
The minutes seem like hours,
The hours go so slowly,
And still the sky is light . . .
Oh moon, grow bright,
The water is wide, I can not get o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that will carry two
And both shall row... my love and I.
Their love is plentive... o'er there it grows
It grows and blossoms like a rose
It has a sweet and pleasant smell
No flower on earth can it excel.
The ship there is and she sails the sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or swim.
Oh, love is handsome and love is fine
And loves a jewel when it is new
But rain it above it grows so cold
I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go
And help us to be wise in times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way
Lead us to the place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe
I pray we'll find your light, and hold it in our hearts
When stars go out each night,
remind us where you are
Let this be our prayer, when shadows fill our day
Help us find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
A world where pain and sorrow will be ended
And every heart that's broken will be mended
And we'll remember we are all God's children
Reaching out to touch you
Reaching to the sky
We ask that life be kind, and watch us from above
We hope each soul will find another soul to love
Let this be our prayer, just like every child
Who needs to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Needs to find a place, guide us with your grace
Hush bye-bye, don't you cry
go to sleepy little baby

blaks and bays, dapples and grays
all the pretty little horses
blacks and bays, dapples and grays
coach and six little horses
Hush bye-bye dont you cry
go to sleepy little baby
when you wake, you'll have sweet cake
and all the pretty little horses
a brown and gray
a black and bay
a coach and six little horses
a black and bay
a brown and a gray
and a coach and six little horses
hush-a-bye, don't you cry
all you pretty little babies
go to sleepy little baby
Sous le dome epais
ou le blanc jasmin
A la rose sÕassemble,
Sur la rive en fleurs,
riant au matin,
Viens, descendons ensemble.
Doucement glissons;
De son flot charmant
Suivons le courant
fuyant; Dans
lÕonde fremissante.
DÕune main nonchalante,
Viens, gagnons le bord
Ou la souree dort.
Et lÕoiseau,
lÕoiseau chante.
Sous le dome epais,
Sous le blanc jasmin,
There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us somewhere
There's a time for us
Some day a time for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to learn time to care
Some day, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere
There's a place for us
A time and place for us
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
If I loved you, time and again
I would try to say all I'd want you to know
If I loved you, words wouldn't come
In an easy way, round in circles I'd go
Chorus:
Longing to tell you but afraid and shy
I'd let my golden chances pass me by
Soon you'd leave me
Off you would go in the mist of day
Never, never to know
How I love you, if I loved you
From my first moment you gave me wings
Let me fly and believed in my dreams
From that first moment you cherished me so
The journey through life would be hard with out you
You gave me all I have and all I know
From my first moment you would be there
In your arms lay the strength I now bear
From that first moment each day I have you
As seasons they change but your heart stays the same
You gave me all I have and all I know
From my first moment as time goes by
Witness endlessly through open skies
The journey though life would be hard with out you
Ohh spring of days long ago
blooming and bright
far have you fluttered away
No more the skies, as your light caroling birds, wakened and glisten for me
Bearing all joy for my heart
Loved on how far, from my life has to flown,
plainly to me does the springtime return
It brings me never again, dark is the sun, dead are the days of delight
I wish I was in carrickfergus
Where the castle looks out to sea.
I would swim over the deepest ocean
For my love to be with me.
But the sea is wide and I can not swim over
Nor have I the wings to fly
I wish I had a handsome boatman,
To ferry me over, my love and i.
I wish I was in the land of arak,
Where the mountains reach the sea.
Where flowers blossom as I do remember.
Where my true love came to me.
But the sea is wide and I can not swim over.
Nor have I the wings to fly.
Ahh to be back now in carrickfergus
To be together .. my love and i.
To be together .. my love and i.
I wish I was in carrickfergus,
To be together my love and i.
O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and beyond Him
Born the King of Angels
O come let us adore Him, (x3)
Christ the Lord.
God of Gods, Light of Light,
Lo, He abhors not the Virgin's womb;
Very God, Begotten not created
O come let us adore Him, etc.
Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing all ye citizens of heav'n above
'Glory to God in the highest
Choir
O come let us adore Him, etc.
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning;
Jesu, to Thee be glory given
Word of the father now in flesh appearing.
O come let us adore Him,
O come adore Him, Christ the Lord.
Long time ago in Bethlehem,
So the Holy Bible say,
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ,
Was born on Christmas day.
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
A new king born today,
And man will live forever more,
Because of Christmas Day.
While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
Them see a bright new shining star,
Them hear a choir sing,
The music seemed to come from afar.
`Now Joseph and his wife Mary,
Come to Bethlehem that night,
Them find no place to born she child,
Not a single room was in sight.
Hark, now hear the angels sing...etc.
By and by they find a little nook
In a stable all forlorn,
And in a manger cold and dark,
Mary's little boy was born.
Hark, now here the angels sings.
Trumpets sound and angels sing,
Listen to what they say,
That man will live forever more,
Because of Christmas Day.
Most people live on a lonely island,
lost in the middle of a foggy sea
most people long for another island
one where they know they would like to be.
Bali Ha'i may call you,
Any night, any day,
In your heart you'll hear it call you,
"Come away, come away . . ."
Bali Ha'i will whisper,
On the wind of the sea,
"Here am I your special island"
"Come to me, come to me . . ."
Your own special hopes,
Your own special dreams,
Bloom on the hillside,
And shine in the streams . . .
If you try you'll find me
Where the sky meets the sea
Here am I your special island
Come to me, come to me . . .
Bali Ha'i
Bali Ha'i
Bali Ha'i
Someday you'll see me,
Floating in the sunshine,
My head's sticking out from a low flying cloud . . .
You'll hear me call you,
Singing through the sunshine
Sweet and clear as can be . . .
"Come to me, Bali Ha'i"
"Come to me"
"Come to me"
A bit of earth
She wants a little bit of earth
She'll plant some seeds
The seeds will grow
The flowers bloom
But is their bounty
What she needs
How can she chance
To love a little bit of earth
Does she not know
The earth is old
And doesn't care if
One small girl wants things to grow
She needs a friend
She needs a father
Brother, sister
Mother's arms
She needs to laugh
She needs to dance
And learn to work
Her girlish charms
She needs a home
The only thing she really needs
I cannot give
Instead she asks
A bit of earth
To make it live
She should have a pony
Gallop 'cross the moor
She should have a doll's house
With a hundred rooms per floor
Why can't she ask for a treasure
Something that money can buy
That won't die
When I'd give her the world
She asks instead
For some earth
A bit of earth
She wants a little bit of earth
She'll plant some seeds
The seeds will grow
The flowers bloom
Their beauty just the thing she needs
She'll grow to love the tender roses
Lilies fair, the iris tall
And then in fall, her bit of earth
Will freeze and kill them all
A bit of earth, a bit of earth,
Over the ground lies a mantle of white,
A heaven of diamonds shine down thro'
the night,
Two hearts are thrillin' in spite of the chill in
the weather.
Love knows no season, love knows no clime,
Romance can blossom any old time,
Here in the open we're walking and hoping together!
Sleigh bells ring, are you list'nin'?!
In the lane snow is glis'nin',
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight,
Walking in a winter wonderland!
Gone away is the blue bird,
Here to stay is a new bird,
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland!
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown,
He'll say "Are you married?"
We'll say "No, man! But you can do the
job when you're in town!"
Later on we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we made,
Walking in a winter wonderland!
Sleigh bells ring, are you lis'nin'?! etc...
A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn',
This comes to pass when a child is born.
A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn,
This comes to pass when a child is born.
A rosy dawn settles all around
You got to feel you're on solid ground
For a spell or two no one seems forlorn
This come to pass when a child is born.
It's all a dream, an illusion now.
It must come true some time soon somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born.
In the bleak midwinter, frost wind made moan,
earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
in the bleak midwinter, long ago.
Our God, heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain;
heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign.
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
the Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ.
Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
but his mother only, in her maiden bliss,
worshiped the beloved with a kiss.
What can I give him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
if I were a Wise Man, I would do my part;
yet what I can I give him: give my heart.
Hark! The herald the angels sing,
'Glory to the new born King;
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled.
Joyful, all ye nations rise,
Join the triumph of the skie;
With th'angelic host proclaim,
'Christ is born in Bethlehem!'
Hark! The herald angels sing;
'Glory to the new born King!'
Christ, by highest heav'n adored,
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold Him come,
Offspring of a virgin's womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see,
Hail th'incarnate Deity!
Pleased as Man with man to dwell;
Jesus, our Immanuel!
Hark! The herald angels sing..etc.
Hail, the heav'nly Prince of peace!
Hail, the Son of Righteouness!
Light and life to all he brings,
Ris'n with healing in His wings.
Mild He leaves His throne on high,
Born that man no more may die;
Born to raise the sons of earth;
Born to give them second birth.
Hark! The herald angels sing, etc.
Come, Desire of nations, come,
Fix in us Thy humble home;
Oh, to all Thyself impart,
Formed in each believing heart!
Hark! The herald angels sing,
'Glory to the new-born King;
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled.
Hark! The herald angels sing..etc.
God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing
you dismay;
Remember, Christ our Saviour was born on
Christmas Day,
To save us all from Satan's power when we were
gone astray,
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.
In Bethlehem, in Jewry, this blessed Babe
was born
And laid within a manger upon this
blessed morn;
The which His mother Mary did nothing take
in scorn
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy.
From God, our Heav'nly Father, a blessed
angel came,
And unto certain shepherds brought tidings
of the same;
How that in Bethlehem was born the Son of
God by name,
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.
The angel Gabriel from heaven came,
His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame;
'All hail', said he, "thou lowly maiden Mary,
Most highly favour'd lady,
Gloria!
'For known a blessed Mother thou shalt be,
All generations laud and honour thee,
Thy son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold,
Most highly favour'd lady,
Gloria!
Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her heard,
'To me be as it pleaseth God', she said,
'My soul shall laud and magnify His holy name,
Most highly favour'd lady,
Gloria!
Of her, Emmanuel the Christ, was born,
In Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn,
And Chritian folk throughout the world
will ever say:
Most highly favour'd lady
Gloria!
Draw uwch y ddaear mae cysgod y nos,
Ond yno mae golar un seren dlos.
Draw uwch y ddaear mae lluoedd y Nef
yn llawen gyhoeddi ei ddyfod Ef.
Far in the city with no room to spare,
A stable is let to the gentle pair.
Far in the city they both watch and pray
O'er Jesus asleep in His bed of hay.
Draw ar y bryniau mae'r noson yn fwyn
Ar dawel ffriddoedd y defaid a'r wyn.
Over the hillside the shepherds draw near
The angel's glad tidings of joy to hear.
Draw dros y twyni mae cwmni ar daith
yn dilyn y seren ar siwrnai faith.
Over the hills now the wise men do bring
their gifts for our lord and His praise to sing.
Draw tua Bethle'm mae toriad y wawr
Ac yno mae bore'm foliant yn awr.
Far over Bethlehem glad voices call,
to worship and praise the Saviour of all
Ding dong! merrily on high
In heaven the bells are ringing:
Ding dong! verily the sky
Is riven with angels singing.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
E'en so here below below,
Let steeple bells be swungen,
And io, io,io,
By priest and people sungen.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
Pray you dutifully prime
Your matin chime ye ringers.
May you beautifully rime
Your eve time song ye singers.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
Martirio tormento d'amore
Il delirio fa parte del cuore
Un pianto bagna la bocca
é tanta la voglia di ritrovarti
Dove sei, la fantasia
La nostalgia, la mia mania
I miei occhi turbati
Dal sole, dal vento
Il tuo viso sereno m'incanta
Che mancanza mi fai
Ti voglio aver sempre con me
Oggi ho sentito davvero che
Non posso piu viver cosi
Per me tu sei sempre
Il primo amore
Dove sei io sempre qui
Innamorata ancora si
Cantare per non morire
Illudermi per non soffrire
Parole, colore della vita
Sempre sempre per te
Dove sei io sempre qui
Innamorato ancora si
Cantare per non morire
Illudermi per non soffrire
Parole, colore della vita
Sempre sempre per te
Felice é sognare con te
Speranza é nata
Per questo che
Il cielo é coperto di stelle
Ti guardo, ti voglio
Ti amo
Felice é sognare con te
Speranza é nata
Per questo che
Il cielo é coperto di stelle
Ti guardo, ti voglio
Ti amo Martyrdom, torment of love
Delirium makes part of the heart
A cry bathes the mouth
And great is my wish to find you again.
Where are you, Fantasy,
Nostalgia, my manias.
My eyes are delirious
From the sun, from the wind.
Your calm face, it bewitches me
The lack which you make.
I want to have you with me forever
Today I felt truly that
I could not live anymore this way
For me you are always
My first love
Where are you? I'll always be here.
Yes, still captivated.
To sing so I may not die
Deceiving myself so I may not suffer
Words, colors of life,
Always, always, for you.
Where are you? I'll always be here.
Yes, still captivated.
To sing so I may not die
Deceiving myself so I may not suffer
Words, colors of life,
Always, always, for you.
It is happiness to dream with you;
Hope is born
For that
The sky is covered with stars.
I watch you, I wish for you,
I love you.
Tis the last rose of summer,
Left blooming alone,
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone.
No flow'r of her kindred
No rosebud is nigh
To reflect back her blushes,
Or give sigh for sigh.
I'll not leave thee, thou lone one,
To pine on the stern,
Since the lovely are sleeping,
Go, sleep thou with them
Thus kindly I'll scatter
Thy leaves o'er the bed,
Where thy mates of the garden
Lie scentless and dead.
So soon may I follow
When friendships decay;
And from love's shining circle
The gems drop away
When true hearts lie wither'd
And fond ones are flow'n
Oh! Who would inhabit
This bleak world alone?
Ah! je ris de me voir
si belle en ce miroir,
Ah! je ris de me voir
si belle en ce miroir,
Est-ce toi, Marguerite,
est-ce toi?
Réponds-moi, réponds-moi,
Réponds, réponds, réponds vite!
Non! Non! ce n'est plus toi!
Non...non,
ce n'est plus ton visage;
C'est la fille d'un roi;
c'est la fille d'un roi!
Ce n'est plus toi,
ce n'est plus toi,
C'est la fille d'un roi;
Qu'on salut au passage!
Ah s'il était ici!
S'il me voyait ainsi!
Comme une demoiselle
Il me trouverait belle, Ah!
Comme une demoiselle,
il me trouverait belle,
Comme une demoiselle,
il me trouverait belle!
Marguerite, Ce n'est plus toi!
Ce n'est plus ton visage;
La, ce n'est plus ton visage;
Qu'on salut au passage!
Ah, I laugh to see myself
so beautiful in this mirror,
Ah, I laugh to see myself
so beautiful in this mirror,
Is it you, Marguerite,
it is you?
Answer me, answer me,
Respond, respond, respond quickly!
No No! it's no longer you!
No...no,
it's no longer your face;
It's the daughter of a king,
It's the daughter of a king!
It's no longer you,
It's no longer you,
It's the daughter of a king,
One must bow to her as she passes!
Ah if only he were here!
If he should see me thus
Like a lady
He would find me so beautiful, Ah!
Like a lady,
he would find me beautiful,
Like a lady,
he would find me beautiful!
Marguerite, It's no longer you!
it's no longer your face;
Yes, it's no longer your face;
One must bow to her as she passes!
Summertime
And de livin is easy
Fish are jumpin
an de cotton is high
oh yo daddy's rich
an yo ma's good lookin
so hush little baby don you cry
One of dese mournins
You goin to rise up singin
Den you'll spread yo wings
An you'll take the sky
But till that mournin
Deres a nothin can harm you
With daddy an mommy standin by.
Songs my mother taught me
In the days long vanish'd
Seldom from her eyelids
Were the teardrops banish'd
Now I teach my children
Each melodious measure
oft the tears are flowing
oft they flow from my mem'ry treasure
My young love said to me My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind
And she stepped away from me and this she did say,
It will not be long, love, till our wedding day
She stepped away from me, and she went thro' the fair.
And fondly I watched her move here and move there.
And then she went homeward with one star awake,
As the swan in the evening moves over the lake.
Last night she came to me, she came softly in,
So softly she came that her feet made no din.
And she laid her hand on me, and this she did say
It will not be long love, till our wedding day
Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment
Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie
J'ai tout quittee pour l'ingrate Silvie
Elle me quitte et prend un autre amans
Plaisir d'amour dure qu un moment
Chagrin d amour dure toute la vie
Tant que cette eau coulera doucement
Vers ce ruisseau qui borde la prairie
Je t'aimerai , me repetait Silvie
L'eau coule encor, elle a change pourtant
Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu un moment
Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie
Pleasure of love lasts only one moment,
Unhappy love affair lasts all the life.
I very left for ungrateful Silvie,
It leaves and takes another amans to me.
Pleasure of love lasts only one moment,
Unhappy love affair lasts all the life.
As long as this water will run gently
Towards this brook which borders the meadow,
I will love you , repeated me Silvie.
Water runs encor, it changed however.
Pleasure of love lasts only one moment,
Unhappy love affair lasts all the life.
O mio babbino care,
Mi piace, e bello bello,
Vo andare in Porta Rossa
A comperar l anello!
Si,si ci voglio andare
e se l amassi indarno
andrei sui Ponte Vecchio
ma per buttaarmi in Arno!
Mi struggo e mi tormento!
O Dio, vorrei morir!
Babbo, pieta, pieta!
Babbo, pieta, pieta!
Oh my dear daddy
I love him, he is so handsome
I want to go to Porta Rossa
to buy the ring!
Yes, yes, I mean it
And if my love were in vain
I would go to Ponte Vecchio
and throw myself in the Arno!
I fret and suffer torments!
Oh God, I would rather die!
Daddy, have pity, have pity!
Daddy, have pity, have pity!
Wele goelcerth wen yn fflamio
A thafodau tan yn bloeddio,
Ar I'r dewrion ddod I daro,
Unwaith eto n un:
Gan fanllefau'r tywysogion
Llais gelynion, trwst arfogion,
A charlamiad y marchogion,
Craig ar graig a grbn!
Arfon byth ni orfydd.
Cenir yn dragywydd;
Cymru fydd fel Cymru fu,
Yn glodus ymysg gwledydd,
'Nghwyn oleuni'r goelcerth acw,
Tros wefusau Cymro'n marw,
Annibyniaeth sydd yn galw,
Am ei dewraf dyn.
Hark I hear the foe advancing
Barbed steeds are proudly prancing,
Helmets in the sunbeams glancing
Symru fo am byth
Men of Harlech lie ye dreaming?
See ye not their falchions gleaming,
While their penons gaily streaming
Cymru fo am byth.
From the rocks rebounding
Let the war cry sounding
Summon all at Cambria's Call
The haughty for surrounding
Men of Harlech on to glory
See your banner famed in story,
Waves these burning words before ye,
Cymru fo am byth! Men of Harlech!
In the Hollow,
Do ye hear like rushing billow
Wave on wave that surging follow
Battle's distant sound?
Tis the tramp of Saxon foemen,
Saxon spearmen, Saxon bowmen,
Be they knights or hinds or yeomen,
They shall bite the ground!
Loose the folds asunder,
Flag we conquer under!
The placid sky now bright on high,
Shall launch its bolts in thunder!
Onward! 'tis the country needs us,
He is bravest, he who leads us
Honor's self now proudly heads us,
Freedom, God and Right!

And that I long for freedom!
And that I long,
and that I long for freedom!
Let me weep over

And that I long for freedom!
The duel infringes
these images
of my sufferings
I pray for mercy.

Son bella pastorella, che scende ogni mattino,
Ed offre un cestellino di fresche fruta a fior
Chi viene al primo albore avra vezzoso rose
E pmo rugiadose, venite al mio giardin.
Son bella pastorella, che scende ogni mattino
Ed offre un cestellino di fresche fruta a fior.
Ah.
Chi nel notturno orrore smarri la buona via
Alla capanna mia ritrovera il cammin
Venita, o passagiero
La pastorella e qua
Ma il fior del suo pensiero
Ad uno sol dara! Ah.
I am the beautiful shepherdess,
who descends every morning,
and offers a basket full of
fresh fruit and flowers.
Who comes on the first harvest
will have nice roses
and very good pommels
come to my garden.
I am the beautiful shepherdess,
who descends every morning,
and offers a basket full of
fresh fruit and flowers.
Ah.
which during the frightened night
the right way is lost,
in my shelter
you will find the fireplace
come, oh passer-by
the shepherdess is here,
but her inner thoughts
will only be given to one!
Come, oh passer-by,
the sheperdess is here,
but her inner thoughts
will only be given to one!
Ah.
If Thou art near when life is closing
All joyful shall I fall asleep,
Be Thou with me as I awaken,
And claim my soul when I arise
If Thou art near when life is closing,
All joyful shall I fall asleep,
Ah, how serene, were thus my passing,
Thy tender hand upraised in blessing
Would sanctify my slumber deep
Be Thou with me, as I awaken
And claim my soul when I arise.
I think, I'm gonna need some therapy
Oh babe, I hope you've got a PhD
Won't you let me on your leather couch
I've got a lot, I need to talk about
I think I'm crazy, think I'm stupid
Must have lost my mind
Wonder what I'm thinkin' lovin' you
'Cause boy if you were mine
I'd really go insane
You'd be my favorite thing

You know you're twisting my mind
You got me acting like a whacked out chick
So I won't be responsible
'Cause I'm really not logical
No I won't be to blame
You know I'm really not sane
I think I'm crazy, think I'm stupid
Must have lost my mind
Wonder what I'm thinkin' lovin' you
'Cause boy if you were mine
I'd really go insane
You'd be my favorite thing

So let me just confess
For those kisses baby, for your love
You drive me crazy, I can't get enough, no

Night of stars, and night of love,
Fall gently o'er the waters,
Heav'n around below, above,
No more we'll heed the shore!
Floating thus in silver light,
Sing on! Oh earth's fair daughters
Love had ne'er an hour so bright,
In fabled days of yore.
The cadenc'd oar will rhyme
To the measure we sing,
Till even charmed Time,
Fold a moment his wing.
Wander on!
Till the dawn! Ah!
Night of stars, and night of love,
Fall gently o'er the waters,
Heave'n around below, above,
No more we'll heed the shore.
Night of stars and of love,
Ah! Gently fall o'er the waters
Heave'n around below, above!
I have a vision
That no one can imagine
I can see things
That no one see's
I have the wisdom
Knowledge of the future
I'll take you to the end of time
With me
[Chorus]
And its a brave new world
That we live in
As we lose ourselves
Tonight
We have no control
Of our feelings
As we journey to the corners
Of our mind
Deep down inside me
Way beyond the silence
I can hear things that no one hears
Questions unanswered
Better left unspoken
I'll take them to the very end
With me
[Chorus]
And it's a brave new world
That we live in
As we lose ourselves
Tonight
We have no control
Of our feelings
As we journey to the corners
Of our mind
ooh....
oohh..[x2]
[Chorus]
And it's a brave new world
That we live in
As we lose ourselves
Tonight
We have no control
Of our feelings
As we journey to the corners
Of our mind
ooh....
oohh..
ooh....
oohh..
When the night is still and the sea is calm
Lonely shadow, you fall upon me
Lay by my side fear not tonight
Lonely shadow, you'll find a new light
Dream a dream and see through angel's eyes
A place where we can fly away
Ride with me upon a shining star
Above the moonlit sky, we will find Elysium
Hear the nightingale sing a lullaby
Lonely shadow, you'll find a new light
Dawn will be kind, all will be bright
Lonely shadow, rise from the darkness
Dream a dream and see through angels's eyes
A place where we can fly away
Ride with me upon a shining star
Above the moonlit sky my son
We dream a dream and see through angels's eyes
A place where we can fly away
Dream a dream and see through angels's eyes
Ohhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhh
Waited for the right one to find me
Wondered when the right one would come, would i
Would i see him that instant i see him, and i
And my hearts found that one
[Chorus]
Would I know
If he was right here beside, would i see
If he was infront of me, would i feel
Somthing inside that would let me know
That its right, that its real, would i see
Would i know
[Verse 2]
Waited for the right eyes to see me
Reaching for the right arms to hold, would i
Would i know i was just getting further, would i
Know when im getting close
[Chorus]
Would I know
If he was standing beside, would i see
If he was the one for me, would i feel
Something inside that would let me know
That its right, that its real, would i see
Could i trust what i feel
Would i knoooow
Would I see the one that i have signs for
Would i feel from that feeling inside
Would i know from inside of my soul
Would i knoooow
Now that i knoooow
Something inside that lets me knoe
That its right, that its real, i can see
Now i know
Ohhhhhhh
Something inside that lets me know
That its right, that its real, i can see
I can trust what i feel
Now i know
[Verse 1]
Never thought it would end like this
We should have guessed in the beginning
The warning signs that I never should have missed
I took a risk, the room was spinning
[Chorus 1]
You took away the sweetest part
You broke into my fragile heart
When you were unfaithful
But love will never cease to be
The only thing that sets me free
And so I'm picking up the pieces and going home
[Verse 2]
Now you think I'm the one to blame
I went through pain with our situation
You betray me with every word you say
You hide away now there's complication
[Chorus 1]
You took away the sweetest part
You broke into my fragile heart
When you were unfaithful
But love will never cease to be
The only thing that sets me free
And so I'm picking up the pieces and going home
(Interlude)
[Chorus 2]
And now there's no need to lie
I know the truth, just tell me why
Why were you unfaithful
I thought our love would always be
You should have taken care of me
Why were you unfaithful
[Chorus 1]
You took away the sweetest part
You broke into my fragile heart
When you were unfaithful
But love will never cease to be
The only thing that sets me free
And so I'm picking up the pieces and going home
Take what you need
Insatiable world
You'll never bleed on my colors for me
Rage in your words scream out in fear
They just get lost in the cold night sky
And oh you could break all my summer sunshine
Throw me your waves
Let me drown my eyes in the tears that you've cried
I hold you in my arms
But you can't feel this warm embrace
You can't see the steady love from everyone
That's all around
But never enough
That's the story of us
That's the story of us
Salt of the earth,
Is all in your heart,
You gamble your trust
And it always burns you
One misplaced word
Walking on shells
The girl with the curl is rucking my shoe
You don't know what you've got
But you feel what it's not
And I wonder what you find
Your comforting pain
You could ride out the storm
Make weather change
I hold you in my arms
But you can't feel this warm embrace
You can't see the steady love from everyone
That's all around
But never enough
That's the story of us
I hold you in my arms
But you can't feel this warm embrace
You can't see the steady love from everyone
That's all around
But never enough
That's the story of us
That's the story of us
That's the story of us
Last night I lay asleeping
There came a dream so fair,
I stood in old jerusalem
Beside the temple there
I heard the children singing
And ever as they sang,
Methought the voice of angels
From heaven in answer rang
"jerusalem, jerusalem!
Lift up you gates and sing,
Hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna to your king!"
And then methought my dream was chang'd
The streets no longer rang
Hush'd were the glad hosannas
The little children sang
The sun grew dark with mystery,
The morn was cold and chill
As the shadow of a cross arose
Upon a lonely hill
"jerusalem, jerusalem!
Hark! how the angels sing,
Hosanna in the highest,
Hosanna to your king!"
And once again the scene was chang'd
New earth there seem'd to be,
I saw the holy city
Beside the tideless sea
The light of God was on it's streets
The gates were open wide,
And all who would might enter
And no one was denied.
No need of moon or stars by night,
Or sun to shine by day,
It was the new jerusalem
That would not pass away
"jerusalem! jerusalem
Sing for the night is o'er
Hosanna in the highest
A silhouette of cigarette smoke crescents the wall
In purple pearl for the curtain call
I'm resigned to the fact that I'm alone in life
Lonely life, lonely life
I'm in the wings
The chorus sings on my own pretending
But here it is ceaseless and unbending
Life's to rest on my happiness
My constant trying
Lonely life, lonely life
Where did the actors go?
Backed out renounced the show
And left me stumbling on the stage
With just a rhyme left on the page
With just one act left of the play
And one more line for me to say
Lonely life, lonely life
Could it be that I'm the one caring and not cared for
Or is it there something I've not dared to comprehend
I'm content to just pretend they want me
Lonely life, lonely life
Where did the actors go?
Backed out renounced the show
And left me stumbling on the stage
With just a rhyme left on the page
With just one act left of the play
And one more line for me to say, to say, to say, to say
Where did the actors go?
Backed out renounced the show
And left me stumbling on the stage
With just a rhyme left on the page
With just one act left of the play
Tell me what love is, what can it be
What is this yearning burning me?
Can I survive it, will I endure?
This is my sickness, is there a cure?
First his obsession seizing my brain,
Starting in passion, ending in pain.
I start to shiver, then I'm on fire,
Then I'm aquiver with seething desire.
Who knows the secret, who holds the key?
I long for something - what can it be?
Ave Maria,
gratia plena,
Dominus tecum.
Benedicta tu in mulieribus
et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus!
Sancta Maria,
mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae,death.
The Lord is my shepherd there is nothing I shall want.
Fresh and green are the pastures where he gives me repose
Near restful waters he leads me, to revive my drooping spirit
He guides me along the right path. He is true to his name
If I should walk in the valley of darkness, no evil would I fear.
You are there with your crook and your staff;
with these you give comfort.
You have prepared a banquet for me in the sight of my foes;
My Head you have anointed with oil; my cup is overflowing.
Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life.
In the Lords own house shall I dwell forever and ever.
Pie jesu, pie jesu

Qui tollis peccata mundi
Dona eis requiem

Lord, have mercy
Lord, have mercy
You who take away the sins of the world
Grant them peace

Lamb of god, lamb of god
Lamb of god, lamb of god
You who take away the sins of the world
Grant them peace

Our father,
Which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done on earth
As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom,
And the power
You got the wrong shoes honey, the wrong size
You wear the left foot on the right side
You got a sad left honey when you cry
You know the answer still you ask why, you ask why
Walking in the sunshine in the middle of the night
Paying bitches with the rain
Abandon the real life and living out a dream
I'm a mixed up girl, in a logical world
You got blue hair honey and... blond eyes
Shock so bowling but the day today's a surprise
You gonna real no honey when you get high
You get warm welcome with the goodbye, when you say goodbye
Walking in the sunshine in the middle of the night
Paying bitches with the rain
Abandon the real life and living out a dream
Just meet me the wrong side, meet me the... blond eyes
I laugh when I cry I'm the one who's asking why
I get high when I get low and I just want to show
I'm a logical girl in a mixed up world, mixed up world
Walking in the sunshine in the middle of the night
Paying bitches with the rain
Abandon the real life and living out a dream
I'm a mixed up girl, in a logical world
I've been walking the sunshine in the middle of the night
I'll be watching the pictures fade away in the rain
I've been dreaming of real life and living out a dream
Quand je vous aimerai?
Ma foi, je ne sais pas,
Peut-être jamais, peut-être demain.
Mais pas aujourd'hui, c'est certain.
L'amour est un oiseau rebelle
Que nul ne peut apprivoiser,
Et c'est bien en vain qu'on l'appelle,
S'il lui convient de refuser.
Rien n'y fait, menace ou prière,
L'un parle bien, l'autre se tait;
Et c'est l'autre que je préfère
Il n'a rien dit; mais il me plaît.
L'amour! L'amour! L'amour! L'amour!
L'amour est enfant de Bohême,
Il n'a jamais, jamais connu de loi,
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde à toi!
Si tu ne m'aime pas,
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime!
Mais, si je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde à toi!
Si tu ne m'aime pas,
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime!
Mais, si je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde à toi!
L'oiseau que tu croyais surprendre
Battit de l'aile et s'envola;
L'amour est loin, tu peux l'attendre;
Tu ne l'attend plus, il est là!
Tout autour de toi vite, vite,
Il vient, s'en va, puis il revient!
Tu crois le tenir, il t'évite;
Tu crois l'éviter, il te tient!
L'amour, l'amour, l'amour, l'amour!
L'amour est enfant de Bohême,
Il n'a jamais, jamais connu de loi,
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde à toi!
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde à toi!
Si tu ne m'aime pas,
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime!
Mais, si je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde à toi!
Si tu ne m'aime pas,
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime!
Mais, si je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde à toi!
Translation:
When will I love you?
Good lord, I don't know,
Maybe never, maybe tomorrow.
But not today, that's certain.
Love is a rebellious bird
That nothing can tame,
And it is simply in vain to call it
If it is convient for it to refuse.
Nothing will work, threat or pleading,
One speaks, the other stays quiet;
And it's the other that I prefer
He said nothing; but he pleases me.
Love! Love! Love! Love!
Love is the child of the Bohemian,
It has never, never known any law,
If you don't love me, I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!
If you don't love me,
If you don't love me, I love you!
But, if I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!
If you don't love me,
If you don't love me, I love you!
But, if I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!
The bird you thought to surprise
Bat its wing and flew away;
Love is far away, you can wait for it;
If you wait for it no more, it is there!
All around you, quickly, quickly,
It comes, goes, then it comes back!
You think to hold it, it avoids you;
You think to avoid it, it holds you!
Love, love, love, love!
Love is the child of the Bohemian,
It has never, never known any law,
If you don't love me, I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!
If you don't love me, I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!
If you don't love me,
If you don't love me, I love you!
But, if I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!
If you don't love me,
If you don't love me, I love you!
But, if I love you,
What child is this who lay to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepards watch are keeping
Chorus:
This! This! is Christ the King
Whom shepards guard and angels sing
This! This! is Christ the King
The babe the son of Mary
Verse:
Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and lamb are feeding
Good christian fear for sinners hear
The silent word is leading
Chorus
So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh
Come plesent king to own Him
The king of kings salvation brings
Let love and hearts enthrone Him
It's late at night and you're not home
I'm still waiting for your call
But it never, it never comes
Do you ever think of me?
Can you hear my empty plea
For your love and affection?
I'll never know, I'll never know
Why I can't let go?
It's what you do and not what you say
That keeps you one step away
Am I that easy to forget?
If only you'd make one sacrifice
Do what it takes to make it alright
Am I that easy to forget?
I'm standing in the bitter cold
Wish that you were here to hold
'Cause I miss you, the way you used to be
Am I in this love alone?
When I speak, the words just fall
And you listen but not to me
I'll never know, I'll never know
Why I can't let go?
It's what you do and not what you say
That keeps you one step away
Am I that easy to forget?
If only you'd make one sacrifice
Do what it takes to make it alright
Am I that easy to forget?
I'll never know, I'll never know
Why I can't let go?
It's what you do and not what you say
(Not what you say)
That keeps you one step away
Am I that easy to forget?
If only you'd make one sacrifice
(One sacrifice)
Do what it takes to make it alright
Am I that easy to forget?
Am I that easy to forget?
Down on my luck once more, out on a limb
Over things I thought I knew for sure and you
Yeah you were fundamentally too flawed to give
what you received and you believed
that I was yours to keep
And I tell myself "hold on, slow down,
girl is this me going back to scratch, again
And oh you'll know it in the dead of night
you're back to scratch, right back to scratch"
Here in the heading days, love on a whim
It's only a thing I'm sure, his daunting gaze will fade
Then I am left on my lonesome & I'm not as young as I'd like
My heart is slipping thru my fingers
Though the hope of love still lingers
I just pray that he will find me now, today
And wait a minute, "hold on, slow down,
girl is this me going back to scratch, again
and oh you'll know it in the dead of night
you're back to scratch"
Now he's gone, I guess I'll carry on
There's nothing else that I can do
Suns will rise and set and rains will fall
But when they fall on me, they won't on you
I can't hold on to this love
I'm going back to scratch, again
and here I'm laying in this lonely night
I'm back to scratch, again, again, again, again
And I can't hold on to this love,
I'm going back to scratch, again
and here I'm laying in this lonely night
When I was young,
I never needed anyone,
And makin' love was just for fun, those days are gone.
Livin' alone,
I think of all the friends I've known,
But when I dial the telephone, nobody's home.
All by myself,
Don't wanna be, all by myself anymore.
Hard to be sure,
Sometimes I feel so insecure,
And love so distant and obscure remains the cure.
All by myself, etc.
All by myself,
Don't wanna live, all by myself anymore.
When I was young,
I never needed anyone,
I'll set you a swing in a purple bell of the lady finger
Where brown bees linger and loiter long
I'll set you a swing in a fairy dell
To the silvery ring of a fairy song
I'll put you afloat in a boat of pearl on a moonlit sea
Where your path shall be of silver and blue
To fairyland children, sweet girl
To its rode-strewn strand bathed in glistening dew
Bathed in glistening dew
I'll make you a nest, a soft, warm nest
In my hearts core, alive ashore when day is gone
Where cosily curled on mothers breast
We were young, we had plans, that we wrote on the back of
our hands, so the ink could wash off if we found that the
plans had to stop.
In the Spring, in the night, I would hide and give you
such a fright, when I jumped from behind our couch we
spent months trying to buy,
and you held me so tightly that I couldn't breathe and
you whispered assurance that you'd never leave, and we
talked through the night of what we could achieve.
We were young.
There were times, when I felt, that there just couldn't
be anyone else in the world but ourselves and then times
when we put each other through hell.
And I lay all the blame I could find on to you cos'
nearly nothing of what you had said was the truth, and
our only excuse was the on we had used...we were young.
I don't want to leave but I'll go now, no matter how hard
I want, you won't come round, my blues hit your browns by
the door, and I could hit the floor, but the plan on my
palm says I'm leaving.
We had planned, all the songs that we thought could make
us millions, and the time that was left meant we only had
seconds to live.
And I cried to my family and cried to my friends and I
promised my people that this was the end but the thing
that hurts most is I won't kiss you again.
The one I love is far away
Across the sea, over sea.
And I am longing for the day
When he comes back to me.
His smile is lovelier than the dawn.
With all its beauty right.
What patient love may solve alone
his joy beyond compare.
Rich years are fading and constant
beauty will wither and wane.
With love so pure, will I endure
while our two hearts remain.
Enough for love of him I pine.
How sad it was to part.
Where e're he walks its ground divine.
to my poor aching heart.
For every day my choice I bless.
My love I'll never rue.
His gentle voice, his sweet caress.
Is constant fair and true.
Rich years are fading and constant
beauty will wither and wane.
With love so pure, will I endure
My dear Marquis, why must you be,
So loathe to use your eyes?
When you stop and stare
Take a lot more care
And closely scrutinise.
My fingers, my ankles, my feet.
Ha ha ha ha ha
How shapely and trim and petite.
Ha ha ha ha ha
Both accent and inflection,
Show polish to perfection.
Such graces,
Are the traces of our old elite.
Such graces,

I marvel how a man like you,
Could fail to see my blood runs blue.
What a funny, ha ha ha
Situation, ha ha ha
What a startling, ha ha ha

What a funny, ha ha ha
Situation, ha ha ha haaaa aaaa aaa aaaa
Ahhhh aaahhhhhh
Marquis oh what a wag you are.
Profiles they say,
Give the game away.
when formed with classic grace.
If the head on view,
Isn't much to you,
Then look at me side face.
What evidence more can there be? ha ha ha ha ha
I sing at soirees without fee.
Bestowing my attention
With lofty condescension.
Such graces,
Are the traces of a pedigree.
Such graces,
Are the traces of a pedigree.
Alls one to you though I'm afraid
Because you love a parlourmaid.

Something cracked inside me
On that Wednesday afternoon
We'd been numb as silent snow
We'd seen nothing but the moon
Mocking all the writing
I'd been forcing on the page
I've been dormant for too long now
Like I've been in hibernation
But I love you, you know
It's just I discovered
There's a life beneath the snow
I knew it could never have worked from the outset
That doesn't make this heartache easier to accept
Spending every waking moment
That I could with you
Now I'm wondering what you're doing
And I'm wondering if I'd like to do it too
I wish I could hate you
That way I could just forget you
Be a single girl and show the world
That I can live without you
Found myself in clutches
Of a panic since the break
I need closure
Want to hold you
Do you think we could just fake
Pretend the thaw never came
And act like nothing had changed
I knew it could never have worked from the outset
That doesn't make this heartache easier to accept
Spending every moment wondering
Can I call you yet
Though I know this must something
That we both will have to learn to accept
Now our love has melted
To a torrid overflow
And the ground's all hard and barren
But I guess it's gonna take some time
To see something grow
Boy you'll be a long time ago
I knew it could never have worked from the outset
That doesn't make this heartache easier to accept
It's not like I want to leave you
Just I've got to go
And I'll always speak with fondness
Now if you feel that you can't go on
Because all your hope is gone
And your life is filled with much confusion
Until happiness is just an illusion
And your world around is crumblin' down
Darling, reach out
Reach out, for me.
I'll be there with the love that will shelter you
And I'll be there with the love that will see you through
When you feel lost and about to give up
'cause your life just ain't good enough
and you feel the world has grown cold
and you're driftin' out, out on your own
when you need a hand to hold
darling, reach out
reach out, for me.
I'll be there to love and comfort you
And I'll be there to cherish and care for you
I'll be there to always see you through
And I'll be there to love and comfort you
I can tell you the way I hang your head
You're not in love now, now you're afraid
And through the tears you look around
But there's no peace of mind to be found
You're alone now and no love of your own
But darling, reach out
Reach out for me
I'll be there to give you all the love you need
And I'll be there, you can always depend on me
I'll be there to always see you through
And I'll be there to love and comfort you
I'll be there.....I'll be there for you
I'll be there.....I'll be there for you
I'll be there to always see you through (I'll be there.....)
I'll be there to love and comfort you (I'll be there.....)
I'll be there.....I'll be there for you
I'll be there.....I'll be there for you
I'll be there to give you all the love you need
I'll be there, you can always depend on me
I'll be there to give you all the love you need
Oh God
May the light,
Illuminate the night, the way your spirit illuminates my soul
PAPA, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you see me?
Papa, can you find me in the night?
Papa, are you near me?
Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you help me not be frightened?
Looking at the skies, I seem to see a million eyes
Which ones are yours?
Where are you now that yesterday
Has waved goodbye and closed its door?
The night is so much darker,
The wind is so much colder
The world I see is so much bigger
Now that I'm alone
Papa, please forgive me
Try to understand me
Papa, don't you know I had no choice?
Can you hear me praying,
Anything I'm saying,
Even though the night is filled with voices?
I remember ev'rything you taught me
Ev'ry book I've ever read
Can all the words in all the books
Help me to face what lies ahead?
The trees are so much taller
And I feel so much smaller
The moon is twice as lonely
And the stars are half as bright
Papa, how I love you
Papa, how I need you
Papa, how I miss you
Panis angelicus
Fit panis hominum
Dat panis coelicus
Figuris terminum
O res mirabilis
Manducat dominum
Pauper, pauper
Servus et humilis
Pauper, pauper
Servus et humilis
Heavenly bread
That becomes the bread for all mankind
Bread from the angelic host
That is the end of all imaginings
Oh, miraculous thing
This body of God will nourish
Even the poorest
The most humble of servants
Even the poorest
Now, first of all I wanna let you know that
I've been known for some minor moodswings now and then
It all started back when people were doing me wrong and
Because of my position I would hold my tongue for them
Bad relationships and people I thought were friends and
People judging me before they get to know a thing
When you decide to step to me, it shows me so clearly
You just wanna see, see the other side of me
And you don't know what I'm going through and
You might think it's all about you
But it's everything, I've been hoping that
It's just bad timing to come at me like that
I try to keep my cool, thus, that's what I try to do but
It's so hard dealing with people just like you
I try to walk away from situations that run
Into complications that make me lose control
If I give in to you then it's what you want me to do
And if I lose my cool then I'm only pleasing you
You know just how to push me, my temperature is rising
Blood pressure is building, I'm about to lose control
And you don't know what I'm going through and
You might think it's all about you
But it's everything I've been hoping that
It's just bad timing to come at me like that
I'm sorry, I, did I cross the line
I tried to warn you away, way ahead of time
I'm so frustrated that I feel like I could cry
This could be the time but I'm not going out like that
And you don't know what I'm going through and
You might think it's all about you
But it's everything I've been hoping that
It's just bad timing to come at me like that
And you don't know what I'm going through and
You might think it's all about you
But it's everything I've been hoping that
It's just bad timing to come at me like that
To come at me like that
To come at me like that
Baby I just don't get it
Do you enjoy being hurt?
I know you smelled the perfume,
The make-up on her shirt
You don't believe her stories
You know that they're all lies
Bad as you are, you stick around and I just don't know why
If I was ya girl, baby you
Never worry bout, what I do
I'd be coming home back to you
Every night, doin' you right
You're the type of man, deserves good thangs
Fistful of diamonds, hand full of rings
Baby you're a star
I just want to show you, you are
You should let me love you
Let me be the one to give you everything you want and need
Baby good love and protection
Make me your selection
Show you the way love's supposed to be
Baby you should let me love you, love you, love you
Your true beauty's description looks so good that it hurts
You're a dime plus ninety-nine and it's a shame
Don't even know what you're worth
Everywhere you go they stop and stare
Cause you're bad and it shows
From your head to your toes, Out of control, baby ooh
Baby you
Never worry bout, what I do
I'd be coming home back to you
Every night doin' you right
You're the type of man, deserves good thangs
Fistful of diamonds, hand full of rings
Baby you're a star
I just want to show you, you are
You should let me love you
Let me be the one to give you everything you want and need
Baby good love and protection
Make me your selection
Show you the way love's supposed to be
You deserve better boy
You know you deserve better
We should be together boy, baby
With me and you it's whatever boy, hey!
So can we make this thing ours?
You should let me love you
Give you everything you want and need
Baby good love and protection
Make me your selection
Show you the way love's supposed to be
Baby you should let me love you,
Love you, love you, love you
Let me love you
Baby you should let me love you,
Just leave all your troubles behind now
My way is clear and true
Reach into the light
That shines in you
E giunta l'ora del desio
All around the world
Questo e il momento dell'addio
All around the world
The dawn is rising on a new day
Time for us to go
The shadows fall and quickly fade away
Time to wave hello
It's time to go now
Time to wave hello now
Let your dreams be wings
That fly as far as the stars
It's time to wave hello
All around the world we go
Shadows fall behind us
As we follow the Sun
That moment has come
It's time to wave hello
It's time to go now
Time to wave hello now
Raise your hands
And show the world
And tell everyone
The moment has come
It's time to wave hello
It's time to
Just wave hello
It's time to
Just wave hello
Picture a teenager desperate to please
Presume to achieve everything
Had been laid out before her
Oh, oh, oh
I wonder what you thought of her
What you think of me
Now I finally achieved what you wanted for me
Oh, oh, oh
I've been a counselor,
I've seen more than I should see
Oh, oh, oh
Now I am curious how is this reflected on me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Tell me now
Honestly what do you
Think of me
Trying my hardest to harness the sunlight that shines over me
Luckily this is the best that I can be
Life is a song that I'm learning to write
I sing through the verses and hope I am joined for the chorus
Oh, oh, oh
My voice was an agent of labor but now
It's my savior from all the troubles
An end to the strains
Phrase for refrains
I'm a melodist
Melody is all that I know
Oh, oh, oh
So play me the chords and I'll give all I've got for the show
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Tell me now
Honestly what do you
Think of me
Trying my hardest to harness the sunlight that shines over me
Luckily this is the best that I can be
Other times
We've been two distant minds
Life is a pageless song
A list of lives gone wrong
But I won't let my muse punish me
I steal all the songs she wrote for me
But what have I done
If you won't see my meaning in my feeling
Tell me now
Honestly what do you
Think of me
Trying my hardest to harness the sunlight that shines over me
Even God can't change the past
No matter how many tears I've cried
Yes, I thought this love would last
Who am I to question why
Who am I
Darling, when I'm hurt
That's when I'm satisfied
Tell me what it's worth
To pursue the holy life
I can see your face
Even when I close my eyes
I can give you love
Even when I've been denied
Who, who's loving who
Who, who's fooling who
Even God can't change the past
No matter how many tears I've cried
Yes, I thought this love would last
Who am I to question why
Who am I
Darling, what is love?
If it never gets you high
Should we sit and wait
While the wasted years roll by
Is there time to say?
If I lied, I apologize
Never go away
Please stay here by my side
Who, who's fooling who
Who, who's loving who
Even God can't change the past
No matter how many tears I've cried
Yes, I thought this dream would last
Who am I to question why
Who am I
They try to break you
They try to steal your stars
If they ever take you
Just remember who you are
They try to hate you
Just like some love bizarre
It's a sign of weakness
To be afraid of what you are
Who, who's loving who
Who, who's fooling who
Even God can't change the past
No matter how many tears I've cried
Yes, I thought this pain would pass
Who am I to question why
Who am I to question why
Fish got to swim, birds got to fly,
I got to love one man till I die.
Can't help lovin' dat man of mine.
Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow,
Tell me I'm crazy, (maybe I know).
Can't help lovin' dat man of mine.
Oh listen sister,
I love my mister man,
And I can't tell you' why
Dere ain't no reason
Why Ishould love dat man,
It mus' be sumpin dat de angels done plan.
Fish got to swim, birds got to fly,
I got to love one man till I die.
Can't help lovin' dat man of mine.
Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow,
Tell me I'm crazy, (maybe I know).
Can't help lovin' dat man of mine.
When he goes away,
Dat's a rainy day,
And when he comes back dat day is fine,
De sun will shine!
He kin come home as late as can be,
Home without him ain't no home to me,
Can't help lovin' dat man of mine.
De chimney's smokin'
De roof is leakin' in,
But he don't seem to care.
Dere ain't no reason why I should love dat man.
And why do you love that man?
It mus' be sumpin' dat de angels done plan.
Fish got to swim,
Birds got to fly,
I got to love
One man till I die.
Can't help lovin'
Dat man of mine.
Tell me he's lazy,
Tell me he's slow,
Tell me I'm crazy,
(maybe I know).
Can't help lovin'
Dat man of mine.
When he goes away,
Dat's a rainy day,
And when he comes back
Dat day is fine,
De sun will shine!
Yes, sister
He kin come home
As late as can be,
Home without him
Ain't no home to me,
Can't help lovin'
When you're weary, feelin' small,
when tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all.
I'm on your side oh, when times get rough and friends just can't be found.
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down.
When you're down and out, when you're on the street,
when evening falls so hard I will comfort you.
I'll take your part, oh, when darkness comes and pain is all around.
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down.
Sail on silver girl, sail on by.
Your time has come to shine. All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine, Oh, if you need a friend I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will ease your mind.
