Theme For A New Love (I Saw You Only Once) Composer(s): Hank Levine Performer(s): David Jones
I saw you only once, and I knew There could be no one for me but you Yours was the face I wanted to see Wanted to touch, so tenderly You smiled and took me by surprise And you captured my heart with your eyes
The way you walk The tilt of your head The sound of your voice And the things you've siad For you've so many secrets So much mystery to everyone else But you share them with me
You're so much like a kitten That I hold in my arms When we laugh and you tease I'm taken by your charms
You're lovely and charming And loving and sweet You captivate everyone you meet Your laughter's like music You're always such fun You're all of my dreams rolled into one
Then there are times when you're moody Times when you're blue When the deepest, dark Black of night is you Yet, all of these moods Love, helped you to see and Understand what's inside of me
You're so soft to my touch And our love is so new How can I tell you how much I love you You're the raindrops that fall And refresh everything For when I am with you It is eternally spring

Quando sono solo Sogno all'orizzonte E mancan le parole
Si lo so che non c'è luce In una stanza Quando manca il sole
Se non ci sei Tu con me
Su le finestre Mostra a tutti il mio cuore Che hai acceso
Chiudi dentro me La luce che Hai incontrato per strada
Con te partirò Paesi che non ho mai Veduto e vissuto con te Adesso sì li vivrò
Con te partirò Su navi per mari Che io lo so No, no, non esistono più Con te io li vivrò
Quando sei lontana Sogno all'orizzonte E mancan le parole
E io sì lo so Che sei con me Tu mia luna tu sei qui con me
Mio sole tu sei qui con me Con me, con me
Con te partirò Paesi che non ho mai Veduto e vissuto con te Adesso sì li vivrò
Con te partirò Su navi per mari Che, io lo so No, no, non esistono più Con te io li rivivrò
Con te partirò Su navi per mari Che, io lo so No, no, non esistono più Con te io li rivivrò

Je l'attends en pleurant Mes amis dites-lui que je l'attends Je comprends maintenant Dites-lui que je m'ennuie en l'attendant

Pourra-t-il me pardonner? Je n'en sais rien Le mal que je lui ai fait s'il me revient Quelle folie c'est trop tard Dans mon cur il n'est resté que des espoirs

Dites-lui que je l'attends Qu'il peut venir Dites-lui que je comprends il doit souffrir Quelle folie d'esperer Et je crie dans ma douleur pour l'appeler
La la la la la lay lo La la la la la lay lo Dites-lui que je l'attends La la la la la lay lo Oh La la la la lay lo Dites-lui que je l'attends La la la la la lay lo La la la la la lay lo Dites-lui que je l'attends La la la la la lay lo La la la la la lay lo Dites-lui que je l'attends

Quand la solitude me fait mal Mes amis me noient de paroles Ils parlent d'habitude, disent "C'est normal" Mais que tout ça, un jour, s'envole Je sais! Oui, je sais! Nous comment, comment? Sous mes fenêtres La vie passe mais n'efface, non, rien de nous deux Tous ces "peut-être" D'un cur en feu vers les cieux guident mes pas
Partir avec toi, attends-moi... où que tu sois Là-haut, si là-haut est l'endroit où le bon Dieu t'envoie Oui! Partir avec toi, par la force d'aimer, te retrouver Non, non, rien n'existe sans nous Et nous, c'est toi, c'est tout

Rose, Rose I love you with an aching heart What is your future?, now we have to part Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay
Make way, oh, make way for my Eastern Rose Men crowd in dozens everywhere she goes In her rickshaw on the street or in a cabaret "Please make way for Rose" you can hear them say
All my life I shall remember Oriental music and you in my arms Perfumed flowers in your tresses Lotus-scented breezes and swaying palms
Rose, Rose I love you with your almond eyes Fragrant and slender 'neath tropical skies I must cross the seas again and never see you more 'way back to my home on a distant shore
(All my life I shall remember) (Oriental music and you in my arms) (Perfumed flowers in your tresses) (Lotus-scented breezes and swaying palms)
Rose, Rose I leave you, my ship is in the bay Kiss me farewell now, there's nothin' to say East is East and West is West, our worlds are far apart I must leave you now but I leave my heart
Rose, Rose I love you with an aching heart What is your future?, now we have to part Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay

Rose rosse per te ho comprato stasera e il tuo cuore lo sa cosa voglio da te
D'amore non si muore e non mi so spiegare perche' muoio per te da quando ti ho lasciato sarà perché ho sbagliato ma io vivo di te e ormai non c'e' piu' strada che non mi porti indietro amore sai perché nel cuore del mio cuore non ho altro che te
Forse in amore le rose non si usano più ma questi fiori sapranno parlarti di me
Rose rosse per te ho comprato stasera e il tuo cuore lo sa cosa voglio da te
D'amore non si muore ma chi si sente solo non sa vivere piu' con l'ultima speranza stasera ho comprato rose rosse per te la strada dei ricordi e' sempre la piu' lunga amore sai perche' nel cuore del mio cuore non ho altro che te
Forse in amore le rose non si usano piu' ma questi fiori sapranno parlarti di me
Rose rosse per te ho comprato stasera e il tuo cuore lo sa cosa voglio da te
Thelma Waits For Me In Norway By The Sea Composer(s): Dick B. Brüün
Where the waves dash in spray on the coast far away In Norway, my home by the sea A girl, sweet and fair, waits fondly there Her love is all plighted to me
It has been just a year since my ship left the pier Cross the water her face still I see In this new land of home to night I'm alone Once more I long to be
Where Thelma waits for me, in Norway by the sea Where the northern lights are beaming, her golden hair is gleaming Oh, God, keep vigil o'er this girl whom I adore Who is waiting patiently for me, in Norway by the sea In Norway by the sea
There's a lure in that land of the north, it is grand Land of the midnight sun clear Its great mountain peaks where all nature speaks A language to me so dear
Tho' there's ice and there's snow a warm welcoming glow greets you there where-ever you go And tho' years I may stay in this land far away Always I'll yearn to be
Where Thelma waits for me, in Norway by the sea Where the northern lights are beaming, her golden hair is gleaming Oh, God, keep vigil o'er this girl whom I adore Who is waiting patiently for me, in Norway by the sea In Norway by the sea
Con Mi Corazón Te Espero Composer(s): Humberto Suárez Performer(s): Javier Solís and multiple other artists
Tú tan alta yo tan bajo, que alcanzarte a ti no puedo tú tan rica yo tan pobre, rico solo en sentimientos Todo un mundo nos separa por dos distintos senderos pero el amor es más fuerte que el amor del mundo entero y allá, allá al final del camino con mi corazón te espero
Y tú tendrás un altar y un palacio hecho con besos y reinarás junto a mí porque el mundo será nuestro
Tú eres luz y yo soy sombra que en la noche se fundieron tú eres mar y yo soy río que se encuentran aunque lejos Todo un mundo nos separa por dos distintos senderos pero el amor es más fuerte que el amor del mundo entero y allá, allá al final del camino con mi corazón te espero
Todo un mundo nos separa por dos distintos senderos pero el amor es más fuerte que el amor del mundo entero y allá, allá al final del camino con mi corazón te espero porque sé que tú me quieres, porque sé que yo te quiero
Rose Room Composer(s): Harry Williams; Art Hickman Performer(s): Harry James; and various other artists
I want to take you to a little room A little room where all the roses bloom I want to lead you into Nature's hall Where ev'ry year the roses give a ball
They have an orchestra up in the trees For their musicians are the birds and bees And they will sing us a song As we are strolling along
In sunny Roseland, where summer breezes are playing Where the honey bees are "A-Maying" There all the roses are swaying Dancing while the meadow brook flows
The moon when shining is more than ever designing For `tis ever then I am pining, pining to be sweetly reclining Somewhere in Roseland Beside a beautiful rose
The ball is over and the tulips meet Their little kisses are so short and sweet The lilies nod to the forgetmenots When they're departing in their flower pots
But all the roses with their spirits high Remain to love until they droop and die And dear, why shouldn't it be Just so with you and with me
In sunny Roseland, where summer breezes are playing Where the honey bees are "A-Maying" There all the roses are swaying Dancing while the meadow brook flows
The moon when shining is more than ever designing For `tis ever then I am pining, pining to be sweetly reclining Somewhere in Roseland Beside a beautiful rose

Yo voy con mi borriquillo caminito de Belén Entre palmas y palillos, panderetas y almirez Yo voy con mi borriquillo cargaíto de alegría Pa' ver al niño Dios y contemplar a María Tengo un lucerito con los ojos negros Que lo quiero más que a mi corazón Y un cometa loco que está majareta Y a ese no lo quiero, no, no Porque los luceros tienen mucha gracia Bailando en los cielos, salero Y si veo un cometa, me muero, me muero Yo voy con mi borriquillo con pestiños y alfajor Y a la mitad del camino, se le ha caído el serón Pobre borriquillo, de un resbalón se cayó Y los dulces que llevaba de un soplo se los comió Tengo un borriquillo con las patas blancas Que lo quiero más que a mi tía Inés Y una burra coja que está majareta Y a esa no la puedo ni ver Porque el borriquillo tiene mucha gracia Y, siendo goloso, lo quiero Que mi borriquillo rebosa salero Yo voy con mi borriquillo cargao de chocolate Llevo mi chocolatero, mi molinillo y mi anafe Yo voy con mi borriquillo cargado de huevos frescos Y a la mitad del camino, me lo ha robad0 un gallego Tengo un borriquillo con las patas blancas Que lo quiero más que a mi tía Inés Y una burra coja que está majareta Y a esa no la puedo ni ver Porque el borriquillo tiene mucha gracia Y, siendo goloso, lo quiero Y quítate del sol, que me ponga moreno
Rose Of An Hour Composer(s): Percy Edgar; Harry Scott
I stand in the garden of loveland Unwanted and all alone Why did you make me care for you? Ah, had I only known
The bee to the blushing red rosebud Still whispers his messages true But here I wait a faded rose Ne'er comes a sign from you
The rose of an hour was my love for you You took it then cast it aside I must regret and I know you'll forget Tho' you called me your joy and pride At first when we met you were good and true But now we have drifted apart The rose of an hour was my love for you And the thorn still remains in my heart
