zelmira
return to your throne: an adverse star barred your way to it; pure faith and candid love now recall you to your glory. i no longer feel distress within me, i feel perfect happiness, for i have saved both the life and the throne of my beloved father. gather round, my beloved ones! you, who ever arouse in my heart dear affection and sweet delight. may such beautiful moments make up for the pains i have suffered until now. after the storm my breast is tranquil and my heart shall breathe in peace. coro ah, after the raging of the cruel storm, let joy and celebration fill our hearts! |

source of lyrics
don't tell me not to live
just sit and putter,
life's candy and the sun's
a ball of butter,
don't bring around a cloud
to rain on my parade.
don't tell me not to fly,
i've simply got to
if someone takes a spill
it's me and not you.
who told you allowed to rain on my parade?
i'll march my band out,
i'll beat my drum,
and if i'm fanned out,
your turn at bat, sir.
at least i didn't fake it.
hat, sir, i guess i didn't make it!
but whether i'm the rose
of sheer perfection,
or freckle on the nose
of life's complexion,
the cinder or the shiny apple of its eye.
i gotta fly once,
i gotta try once,
only can die once, right, sir?
ooh, love is juicy,
juicy, and you see
i gotta have my bite, sir!
get ready for me, love,
'cause i'm a "comer,"
i simply gotta march,
my heart's a drummer.
don't bring around a cloud
to rain on my parade!
i'm gonna live and live now,
get what i want--i know how,
one roll for the whole shebang,
one throw, that bell will go clang,
eye on the target--and wham--
one shot, one gun shot, and bam--
hey, mister arnstein, here i am!
i'll march my band out,
i'll beat my drum,
and if i'm fanned out,
your turn at bat, sir,
at least i didn't fake it.
hat, sir, i guess i didn't make it.
get ready for me, love,
'cause i'm a "comer,"
i simply gotta march,
my heart's a drummer.
no one's gonna rain on my parade!

tonight i wanna dance with someone else

10 judy garland, arlen/gershwin . a star is born (soundtrack) . the man that got away
source of lyrics
the night is bitter,
the stars have lost their glitter,
the winds grow colder,
and suddenly you're older
and all because of
the man that got away.
no more his eager call,
the writing's on the wall,
the dreams you dreamed have all
gone astray.
the man that won you
has run off and undone you.
that great beginning
has seen it's final inning,
don't know what happened
it's all a crazy game.
no more that all-time thrill
for you've been through the mill,
and never a new love will
be the same.
good riddance, good-bye.
every trick of his you're on to -
but fools will be fools and where's he gone to?
the road gets rougher,
it's lonelier and tougher.
with hope you burn up,
tomorrow he may turn up.
there's just no letup
the livelong night and day.
ever since this world began
there is nothing sadder than
a one-man woman
looking for the man that got away . . .
(interlude)
the road gets rougher,
it's lonelier and tougher.
with hope you burn up,
tomorrow he may turn up.
there's just no letup
the livelong night and day.
ever since this world began
there is nothing sadder than
a one-man woman
looking for the man
the man that got away . . .

source of lyrics
la mamma morta m'hanno alla porta della stanza mia; moriva e mi salvava! poi a notte alta io con bersi errava, quando ad un tratto un livido bagliore guizza e rischiara innanzi a' passi miei la cupa via! guardo! bruciava il loco di mia culla! così fui sola! e intorno il nulla! fame e miseria! il bisogno, il periglio! caddi malata, e bersi, buona e pura, di sua bellezza ha fatto un mercato, un contratto per me! porto sventura a chi bene mi vuole! fu in quel dolore che a me venne l'amor! voce piena d'armonia e dice: "vivi ancora! io son la vita! ne' miei occhi è il tuo cielo! tu non sei sola! le lacrime tue io le raccolgo! io sto sul tuo cammino e ti sorreggo! sorridi e spera! io son l'amore! tutto intorno è sangue e fango? io son divino! io son l'oblio! io sono il dio che sovra il mondo scendo da l'empireo, fa della terra un ciel! ah! io son l'amore, io son l'amor, l'amor" |
they killed my mother
in the doorway of my room; she died saving me! later, at dead of night, i wandered about with bersi, when suddenly a livid glow flickers and lights ahead of me the dark street! i looked at it! my childhood home was ablaze! i was alone, and surrounded by nothingness! hunger and poverty, deprivation and danger. i became ill, and bersi, so good and pure traded her beauty for my sake! i bring misfortune to all who love me. it was then, in my misery, that love came to me! and murmured in a sweet, melodious voice: "you must live! i am life itself!" heaven is in my eyes! you are not alone! let your tears fall on my breast! i will walk with you and be your support! smile and hope! i am love! is all around you blood and mire? i am divine! i can make you forget! i am the god who descends to earth from the empyrean and makes this world a paradise! ah! i am love, love, love" |
12 bessie griffin . the great gospel women, vol. 2 . since i met jesus
since i met jesus
lord, there's a burnin
oh, such a burnin
deep down within
don't you know that it holds me
with an unseen power
and it keeps me
free from all sin
it changes me
from day to day
as i walk alone
this narrow way
since i met jesus
since he blessed this old soul of mine
it makes me want to run
shout hallelujah
right to the end
13 donna murphy, bernstein . leonard bernstein's new york . ain't got no tears
source of lyrics
ain't got no tears left,
i've been cryin' so long;
can't weep for joy,
can't weep for sorrow.
ain't got no tears left,
though the pain, it's so strong;
can't keep on cryin' all the time.
ain't got no tears left.
the day you walked out without any trace
i tried to find you, but you won the race,
and now i sit here, don't go any place,
just keep on starin' into space
rememberin' your face.
ain't got no hope
i'm gonna find you some day,
won't be tonight,
won't be tomorrow.
though i still need you
in the same burnin' way,
can't keep on cryin' all the time.
ain't got no tears left.
ain't got no tears left.
wish i could cry, so that
i can get relief from this pain,
the way the showers bring flowers back
to life in the rain.
can't keep on cryin' all the time;
ain't got no tears left;
no tears...
14 heather headley . www.heatherheadley.com . i wish i wasn't (live)
i’m home alone again
and you’re out hangin’ with your friends
so you say
somehow i know it’s not quite that way
it’s getting pretty late
and you haven’t checked on me all day
when i called you didn’t answer
now i’m feelin’ like you’re ignorin’ me
i wish that you were home
holdin’ me tight in your arms
and i wish i could go back
to the day before we met
and skip my regret
i wish i wasn’t in love with you
so you couldn’t hurt me
it just ain’t fair the way you treat me
no, you don’t deserve me
wasted my time thinkin’ ‘bout you
and you ain’t never gon’ change
i wish i wasn’t in love with you
so i wouldn’t feel this way
said you care about me, but from what i see
i ain’t feelin’ that, so i disagree
gave you all my love and understanding
and you treated me like your enemy
so leave me alone, don’t bother to follow me
now just go back where you came from
this house is no longer your home
you are not welcome no, no, no more, no more
i wish i wasn’t in love with you
so you couldn’t hurt me
it just ain’t fair the way you treat me
no, you don’t deserve me
wasted my time thinkin’ 'bout you
and you ain’t never gon’ change
i wish i wasn’t in love with you
so i wouldn’t feel this way

source of lyrics
darling stop confusing me
with your wishful thinking
hopeful enbraces
don't you understand?
i have to go through this
i belong to here where
no - one cares and no - one loves
no light no air to live in
a place called hate
the city of fear
i play dead
it stops the hurting
i play dead
and hurting stops
it's sometimes just like sleeping
curling up inside my private tortures
i nestle into pain
hug suffering
caress every ache
i play dead
it stops the hurting

mc: we are ruled by our brothers.
we are ruled by our husbands.
we jump at the voices of our masters

we are bartered and traded,

we have to be beautiful
and it helps to have a dowry of some kind:
we have to show humility
and have the presence of mind
to never complain.
and they say it’s our fault
we were thrown out of eden
to be turned into salt ...
but there is a way back to paradise,
there is a way:
study all men.
learn what they lack.
sweeten and stroke
before you attack:
put up a front
and then slip through the back
be on your way back
| to paradise
| l: oui mamzell’.
| oui, mamzell’...
long ago back in eden (eden)
when we didn’t
need husbands (husbands)
we danced to the voices
in the garden
and had our own way. (...ou ye ye, mamzell’).
we were taught by
our mothers
along the river
of knowledge
our garden
was beautiful (beautiful)
until the angels came to call
and on the wings of jealousy
they brought down the fall ...
and gave the garden to men:
who put it out of our touch.
we were thrown out of eden
for knowing too much.
but there is a way back to paradise.
there is a way:
bide your time. (oui, mamzell’)
be clever and wise (oui, mamzell’)
when you look at a man, (oui, mamzell’)
look him dead in the eyes, (oui, mamzell’)
mc: do not be seduced.
tell him elegant lies.

be on your way ...

and i am telling you
i'm not going.
you're the best man i'll ever know.
there's no way i can ever go.
no, no, no, no way,
no, no, no, no way i'm living without you.
i'm not living without you.
i don't want to be free.
i'm staying, i'm staying,
and you, and you, you're gonna love me.
ooh, you're gonna love me.
and i am telling you
i'm not going,
even though the rough times are showing.
there's just no way, there's no way!
we're part of the same place,
we're part of the same time.
we both share the same blood.
we both have the same mind.
and time and time we have so much to share.
no! no, no, no, no, no!
i'm not waking up tomorrow morning
and finding that there's nobody there.
darling, there's no way,
no, no, no, no way i'm living without you.
i'm not living without you.
you see, there's just no way,
there's no way!
tear down the mountains,
yell, scream and shout.
you can say what you want,
i'm not walking out.
stop all the rivers,
push, strike and kill.
i'm not gonna leave you,
there's no way i will!
and i am telling you
i'm not going.
you're the best man i'll ever know.
there's no way i can ever, ever go.
no, no, no, no way,
no, no, no, no way i'm living without you.
i'm not living without you,
i'm not living without you.
i don't want to be free.
i'm staying, i'm staying,
and you, and you, and you, you're gonna love me.
ooh, you're gonna love me.
you're gonna love me!
