Talking Heads - "Once In A Lifetime"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1wg1DNHbNU

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself
Well...How did I get here?

Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
After the money's gone
Once in a lifetime
Water flowing underground

And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife

Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
After the money's gone
Once in a lifetime
Water flowing underground

Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...

Water dissolving...and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Under the water, carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean

Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
Into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones
There is water underground

Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
After the money's gone
Once in a lifetime
Water flowing underground

And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go to?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right?...Am I wrong?
And you may say to yourself yourself
My God!...What have I done?!

Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
Into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones
There is water underground

Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
After the money's gone
Once in a lifetime
Water flowing underground

Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Look where my hand was
Time isn't holding us
Time isn't after us
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Yeah, the twister comes
Here comes the twister
Same as it ever was...

Mozart - from Le Nozze Di Figaro - Lucia Popp sings "Deh vieni, non tardar"


Lucia Popp "Deh vieni non tardar" (Le Nozze di Figaro - 1980)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3NItbi7PDY

Giunse alfin il momento,
Che godro senz'affanno,
In braccio all'idol mio!
Timide cure! uscite dal mio petto!
A turbar non venite il mio diletto!
O come par, che all'amoroso foco
L'amenita del loco,
La terra e il ciel risponda!
Come la notte i furti miei seconda!

Deh vieni, non tardar, o gioja bella!
Vieni ove amore per goder t'appella!
Finche non splende in ciel notturna face,
Finche l'aria e ancor bruna e il mondo tace.
Qui mormora il ruscel, qui scherza l'aura,
Che col dolce susurro il cor ristaura,
Qui ridono i fioretti e l'erba e fresca,
Ai piaceri d'amor qui tutto adesca.
Vieni, ben mio, tra queste piante ascose!
Vieni, vieni!
Ti vo' la fronte incoronar di rose.
Ti vo' la fronte incoronar, incoronar di rose!

Translation

The moment finally arrives,
Which I'll enjoy without haste,
In the arms of my beloved!
Fearful anxieties, get out of my heart!
Do not come to disturb my delight!
Oh, how it seems that to love's fire
The comfort of the place,
the earth and the sky respond
As the night responds to my ruses!

Oh, come, don't be late, my beautiful joy!
Come where love calls you to enjoyment!
Until night's face [the moon] no longer shines in the sky!
Until the air begins to lighten again
And the world is quiet.
Here the river murmurs and the breeze plays
That restores the heart with sweet ripples.
Here, little flowers laugh and the grass is fresh.
Here, everything entices one to love's pleasures.
Come, my dear, among these hidden plants.
Come, come!
I want to crown your brow with roses.


Text by Lorenzo da Ponte

Mario Del Monaco sings Giacomo Puccini's "Nessun Dorma"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrJC7l5Pn-k

In Italiano

Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma! Tu pure, o Principessa,
nella tua fredda stanza,
guardi le stelle
che tremano d'amore, e di speranza!
Ma il mio mistero chiuso in me;
il nome mio nessun sapra!
No, No! Sulla tua bocca lo dir quando la luce splende!
Ed il mio bacio sciogliera il silenzio
che ti fa mia!
Il nome suo nessun sapr,
E noi dovrem, ahim, morir, morir!
Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincero! Vincero! Vincero!"

In English
No-one shall sleep!
No-one shall sleep!
You too, oh Princess,
In your cold room, watch the stars
Trembling with love and hope!

But my secret lies hidden within me,
No-one shall discover my name!
Oh no, I will only reveal it on your lips
When daylight shines forth!

And my kiss shall break
The silence that makes you mine!

[Choir:]
No-one shall discover her name!
And we will, alas, have to die, to die!

Depart, oh night!
Set, you stars!
Set, you stars!
At dawn I shall win!
I shall win! I shall win!

Vanilla Fudge - "You Keep Me Hanging On"


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdLRoOYk50o

Set me free
Why don't you babe?
Get off my life
Why don't you babe?

You really don't want me
You just keep me hangin' on
You really don't need me
You just keep me hangin' on

Why do you keep comin' around
Playing with my heart?
Why don't you get out of my life
When seeing you only breaks my heart again?

And there ain't nothing
I can do about it

You know I need love
(Set me free, why don't you babe?)
Talkin 'bout love
(Get off my life, why don't you babe?)

You really don't want me
You just keep me hangin' on

Get off my life
Why don't you babe?
Get off my life
Why don't you babe?
