un niñito nacerá
alegraos, pastorcillos
que el que nace Dios será (bis)
¡Jesús, qué alegría, qué noche tan buena!
¡Qué noche tan buena, todo es resplandor!
Mil gracias, Dios mío, mil gracias, Señor
Mil gracias, Dios mío, mil gracias, Señor
El Niño Dios ha nacido

Sì questa sera è festa grande noi scendiamo in pista subito e se vuoi divertirti vieni qua ti terremo fra di noi e ballerai...
Finché vedrai sventolar bandiera gialla tu saprai che qui si balla ed il tempo volerà...
Saprai quando c'è bandiera gialla che la gioventù è bella e il tuo cuore batterà Sai quelli che non ci voglion bene è perché non si ricordano di esser stati ragazzi giovani o di aver avuto già la nostra età...
Finché vedrai sventolar bandiera gialla tu saprai che qui si balla ed il tempo volerà...
Saprai quando c'è bandiera gialla che la gioventù è bella e il tuo cuore batterà Finché vedrai sventolar bandiera gialla tu saprai che qui si balla ed il tempo volerà... Saprai quando c'è bandiera gialla che la gioventù è bella e il tuo cuore batterà
Siamo noi siamo noi bandiera gialla... Vieni qui che qui si balla... Vieni qui che qui si balla... Siamo noi bandiera gialla...

I'm The Only Man On The Island Composer(s): Bob Merrill; Dave Mann Performer(s): Tommy Steele
I'm the only man on the island The only man on the island To a hundred and fifty native girls I'm the King of the Coral Sea
When my sailboat sank in the ocean How quick they came to my rescue They haven't had a man to hula for Since nineteen-forty-three
Oh-oh-oh, it's nice, livin' in a tropical paradise They cook me all kinds of food And pour sweet wime in my cup So if I'm dreamin', I don't wanna wake up
Well, hey number one girl, wave that fan Hey number two girl, hold my hand Hey number three girl, kiss me sweet Hey number four girl, rub my feet
Hey number five girl, bake some pies Hey number six girl, swat them flies Hey number seven girl, sweep the shack Hey number eight girl, scratch my back
I'm the only man on the island The only man on the island There's a hundred and fifty girls to love Underneath the coconut tree

A Great And Mighty Wonder Composer(s): St. Germanus; John M. Neale
A great and mighty wonder A full and holy cure The Virgin bears the Infant With virgin honor purel Repeat the hymn again "To God on high be glory And peace on earth to men!"
The Word becomes incarnate And yet remains on high And cherubim sing anthems To shepherds from the sky Repeat the hymn again "To God on high be glory And peace on earth to men!"
While thus they sing your Monarch Those bright angelic bands Rejoice, ye vales and mountains Ye oceans, clap your hands Repeat the hymn again "To God on high be glory And peace on earth to men!"
Since all He comes to ransom By all be He adored The Infant born in Bethl'em The Savior and the Lord Repeat the hymn again "To God on high be glory And peace on earth to men"
And idol forms shall perish And error shall decay And Christ shall wield His scepter Our Lord and God for aye Repeat the hymn again "To God on high be glory And peace on earth to men!"
Eyesight To The Blind Composer(s): Sonny Boy Williamson Performer(s): Sonny Boy Williamson; and various other artists
You're talking about your woman I wish to God, man, that you could see mine You're talking about your woman, I wish to God that you could see mine Every time the little girl start to loving, she bring eyesight to the blind
Lord, her daddy must been a millionaire, 'cause I can tell by the way she walk Her daddy must been a millionaire, because I can tell by the way she walk Every time she start to loving, the deaf and dumb begin to talk
I remember one Friday morning, we was lying down across the bed Man in the next room a-dying, stopped dying and lift up his head, and said "Lord, ain't she pretty, and the whole state know she fine!"
Every time she start to loving, she bring eyesight to the blind (Spoken: All right and all right, now Lay it on me, lay it on me, lay it on me Oh lordy, what a woman, what a woman!)
Yes, I declare she's pretty and the whole state knows she's fine Man, I declare she's pretty, God knows I declare she's fine Every time she starts to loving, whoo, she brings eyesight to the blind (I've got to get out of here, now, let's go, let's go, let's go now)
I'm The Lonesomest Gal In Town Composer(s): Lew Brown; Harry Von Tilzer Performer(s): Kay Starr and multiple other artists
I'm the lonesomest gal in town Everybody has thrown me down I got no angel child to ever call me dear Got no honey man to ever cuddle near But I'm learnin' to roll my eyes And someday you may be surprised When I steal someone's lovin' man And kiss him with a smack I'll hug him and I'll squeeze him But I'll never give him back `Cos I`m lonesome, so very lonesome I'm the lonesomest gal in this here town
If you read in the papers some day That some poor girl has passed away Don't shed a tear if you should hear That gal was me, and if you see My picture in the paper with a smile on my face I was broken hearted, that smile was out of place If you wanna save a gal from her grave Find me a man if you can
I'm the lonesomest gal in town Everybody is throwin' me down I got no angel child to ever call me dear Got no honey man to ever cuddle near But I'm learnin', I'm gonna roll my eyes And someday you're gonna be surprised When I steal someone's lovin' man And kiss him with a smack I'll hug him and I'll squeeze him But I'll never give him back `Cos I`m lonesome, so very lonesome I'm the lonesomest gal in this or any other town
Eyes Without A Face Composer(s): Billy Idol; Steve Stevens Performer(s): Billy Idol; and various other artists
I'm all out of hope One more bad dream could bring a fall When I'm far from home Don't call me on the phone To tell me you're alone It's easy to deceive It's easy to tease But hard to get release
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face Got no human grace your eyes without a face
I spend so much time Believing all the lies To keep the dream alive Now it makes me sad It makes me mad at truth For loving what was you
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face Got no human grace your eyes without a face
When you hear the music you make a dip Into someone else's pocket then make a slip Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh, the gigolo pool I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip Reading murder books tryin' to stay hip I'm thinkin' of you you're out there so Say your prayers Say your prayers Say your prayers
Now I close my eyes And I wonder why I don't despise Now all I can do Is love what was once So alive and new But it's gone from your eyes I'd better realise
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face Got no human grace your eyes without a face Such a human waste your eyes without a face And now it's getting worse
I'm The King Of Broken Hearts Composer(s): Frederick Tobias; Jerry Tobias Performer(s): Tony Bennett
My castle's a room where each night I'm alone A chair in the corner is my only throne And all that I rule is a now-silent phone I'm the King of Broken Hearts
My minstral sings lovesongs on my phonograph Each song brings back mem'ries of your haunting laugh And each face in my court looks like your photograph I'm the King of Broken Hearts
I thought that I'd forget in time The tender kiss you gave But now I realize that I'm A ruler who's only a slave
A scarf that you left now is my royal cloak On my coat of arms are the love words you spoke And my crown is a dream that has vanished in smoke I'm the King of Broken Hearts
Eyes That Say "I Love You" Composer(s): Fred Fisher
I've often heard it said that eyes are just windows of the soul And in that little game of love, they play the leading role I've studied every color, and learn'd to realize The wondrous charm that lies within a pair of roguish eyes
A mother tells her baby just by looking in its eyes A doctor with a single glance, knows where the trouble lies We tell a cook that's clever that she must Hooverize But you can't tell a woman just by looking in her eyes
Eyes that are always telling lies, naughty eyes Eyes that are blue or grey What do they want to make those eyes at me for, at you for Just to steal your heart away Eyes that can fool the very wise Wicked eyes Eyes that can look you thru But of all the eyes I see, only two look good to me They're the eyes that say "I love you"
I'm The Guy Who Found The Lost Chord Composer(s): Earl Brent; Jimmy Durante Performer(s): Jimmy Durante; Roy Bargy
I was sitting at my piano, the other day But my mind was ill at ease They were coming to take it away that afternoon I was all by myself in a mellow mood Improvising symphonies My right hand was playing Mozart's minuet And at the same time my left hand was playing; have a banana; from Carmen And at the same time my mouth was whistling a sextet from Luicini And at the same time What do you think my foot was doing? While keeping time it was cracking walnuts; see I had to eat too Then in the midst of all soliloquy I found it, I found it The Lost Chord The Lost Chord! So let's celebrate I'm feeling great I'm the guy that found the Lost chord I'll have my name in the hall of fame 'cos I went and found that lost chord
Everyone knows Tchaikovsky wasn't recognised for 300 years Brahms wasn't recognised for 400 years Beethoven wasn't recognised for 500 years But I can't wait that long I've only got two changes of clothes!
People said I was mad. but that didn't trouble me They said Mozart was mad They said Puccini was mad They said Louis was mad Who's Louis? My uncle, he was mad!
So let's celebrate I'm feeling great I'm the guy that found the Lost chord
You know it wasn't easy finding that Lost chord Working in my attic I didn't sleep for days and days I'd be in terrible shape if I hadn't slept nights! First I put an A flat with a B minor Then I put a B minor with and F major Then I put and F minor with a B major Then I tried an A and a B and a B and a C And a C and a D and a D and E and an E and a F And a F and a G What a piano no apostrophe's!
And this is what I came up with (plays wrong chord)
What's happened that isn't the chord (plays wrong chord) Neither is that (plays wrong chord) Neither is that (plays wrong chord) And neither is that! I lost the chord a catatstrophe I'm gonna sit down on the keyboard of this piano until the chord is return
(sits down bum plays the right chord)
That's it the lost chord! I found it, I found by sitting on the piano keyboard Strange I usually play by ear!
So let's celebrate I'm feeling great I'm the guy that found the Lost chord
Eyes Of The World Composer(s): Lindsey Buckingham Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac
Tellin' you people, tell you no lie My heart was breakin', I'll tell you why
Chorus: Back and forth, lies unfurl... In the eyes, in the eyes, in The eyes, in the eyes of the world.... Eyes...eyes...eyes...eyes... Eyes...eyes...eyes...eyes...
Monday's children are filled with face.... Tuesday's children are filled with grace.....
Eyes Of The Immigrant Composer(s): Eric Andersen Performer(s): Eric Andersen
They came by day, and they came by night They came like cattle they were packed so tight They rolled on the stairways and they slept on the decks And the only thing they knew was they could not turn back They came from Sweden and they came from France They came from up and down along the continent They came in floods and they came in waves They came for glory and they came to escape Some held their breath in the morning light As New York Harbor came into sight They leaned on the rails and the decks just to see A statue of a lady known as "Liberty" Their hands gripped the rails and their eyes peered up Some were crying with their eyes; some were crying with their hearts They were dreaming of the future; they were crying for a chance Maybe the son of a shipper could even be the president
Chorus: Eyes of the healthy and eyes of the lame Eyes of the free and the eyes of the chain Eyes of the wealthy and eyes of the poor Eyes of an Indian who rides nevermore Always remember and never forget Beneath all the dirt and beneath all the sweat Who looked to the future and knew what it meant But the hearts and the minds and the souls and the dreams In the eyes, eyes of the Immigrant
Out of Ellis Island they poured like sheep Onto the land and into the streets With their hands on their children and their coats on their backs They brought nothing more than they could fit in their sacks Carpenters, steel workers, firemen, and cops Peddled rags full of shoes in all the neighborhood shops They worked with their hands and they worked with their backs Bringin' coal from the ground and puttin' smoke up the stacks Wave after wave the flood never stopped Soon the ones on the bottom they rose to the top They dreamed and they said no matter how its gotten bad You give to your kids the things that you never had Be doctors and lawyers and chairmen of the boards Be the guardians of peace and protectors in the wars You work with your knowledge and your skills and your minds Now its everybody's future that you hold in your sights
Chorus
Some tried to settle, some couldn't out of fear Some kept dreaming of the new frontier Everybody was convinced they had a place in the sun That it wasn't what you were so much as what you could become Everybody's future wasn't everybody's dream The land could be barren and the streets could be mean It was a fact in the suburbs and the farms and the shacks That you only knew ahead there ain't no room to fall back This is the land and the home of the free That's what we want the whole world to believe Not everybody makes it to the top of the heap Some were brought in chains from far across the sea Some lost their way and some lost track And some realized that you can't look back And sometimes you hear it but you don't know where The sound of the waves still crashing in your ear
