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?

Something Corporate - "Konstantine"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvmaK5n1zg0

I can't imagine all the people that you know
And the places that you go
When the lights are turned down low
And I don't understand
All the things you've seen
But I'm slipping in between
You and your big... dreams
It's always you and my big dreams

And you tell me
That it's over
But I can't stand here in a patch of four leaf clover
And your restless
And I'm naked
You've got to get out
You can't stand to see me shaking
No, could you let me go
I didn't think so

And you don't want to be here in the future
So you say
The present's just a pleasant
Interruption to the past
And you don't want to look much closer
'Cause you're afraid to find out all the hope
That you had sent into the sky by now had... crashed
And it did because of me

And then you bring me home
Afraid to find out that you're alone, no
And I'm sleeping in your living room
But we don't have much room
To live

And I had dreams that I would learn to play guitar
Maybe cross the country
Become a rockstar
And there was hope in me
That I could take you there
But dammit you're so young
But I don't think I care
And if I hurt you then I'm sorry
Please don't think that this was easy

And then you bring me home
'Cause we both know what its like to be alone, no
And I'm dreaming in your living room
But we don't have much room
To live

Konstantine came walking down the stairs
Doesn't she look good
Standing in her underwear?
And I've been thinking, and I've thinking, no
But she's been drinking
And it doesn't get me anywhere

My Konstantine came walking down the stairs
And all that I could do
Was touch her long blond hair
And I was thinking, what I was thinking ya know
We've been drinking and it doesn't get me anywhere

This is because I can spell confusion with a K
and I like it
It's to dying in another's arms
And why I had to try it
It's to jimmy eat world
And those nights in my car
But this time I'm alone, and I don't see those stars
I'm not your star?
Isn't that what you said
What you thought this song meant
You thought this song meant

And if this is what it takes
Just to lie in my mistakes
And live with what I did to you
And all the hell I put you through
I always catch the clock it's 11:11
And now you want to talk
It's not hard to dream
You'll always be my Konstantine

They'll never hurt you like I do
No, They'll never hurt you like I do
No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No

This is to a girl who got into my head
With all these pretty things she did
Hey Baby, You know that you keep me up in bed
It's to a girl who got into my head
With all the fucked up things I did
Hey maybe baby, you could keep me up in bed
My Konstantine

Spin around me like a dream
We played out on this movie screen
And I said,
Did you know I miss you
Did you know I miss you
Did you know I miss you
Did you know I miss you
Did you know I miss you
Did you know I miss you
Did you know I miss you

God, I miss you

And then you bring me home
And we'll go to sleep but this time not alone, no no,
And you'll kiss me in your living room, oh
And you see, no, that I've been missing in my Living room
Cause this is what I miss, what I miss
We don't have much room
I said, does anybody need that room?
Because we all need a little more room
To live

My Konstantine
