Ebben!
Ne andro lontana, Wally's aria from Laddove la speranza, la speranzaThere where
La Wally
Ebben! Ne andro lontana Ah well then! I shall
go far away
Come va l'eco pia campana, Like the echo of
the pious church-bell goes away,
La fra la neve bianca; There somewhere in
the white snow;
La fra le nubi d'or; There amongst the clouds
of gold,
Laddove la speranza, la speranzaThere where
hope, hope
e rimpianto, e rimpianto, e dolor! Is regret, is
regret, is sorrow!
O della madre mia casa gioconda O from my
mother's cheerful house
La Wally ne andra da te, da te! La Wally is
about to go away from you, from you!
Lontana assai, e forse a te, Quite far away,
and perhaps to you,
E forse a te, non fara mai piu ritorno,And
perhaps to you, will never more return,
Ne piu la rivedrai! Nor ever more see you
again!
Mai piu, mai piu! Never again, never again!
Ne andro sola e lontana, I will go away alone
and far,
La, fra la neve bianca, n'andro, There,
somewhere in the white snow, I shall go,
N'andro sola e lontana I will go away alone
and far
E fra le nubi d'or! And amongst the clouds of
gold!
Ebben! Ne andro lontana Ah well then! I shall
go far away
Come va l'eco pia campana, Just like the echo
of the pious church-bell goes away,
La fra la neve bianca; There somewhere in
the white snow;
La fra le nubi d'or; There amongst the clouds
of gold,
hope, hope
e rimpianto, e rimpianto, e dolor! Is regret, is
regret, is sorrow!
O della madre mia casa gioconda O from my
mother's cheerful house
La Wally ne andra da te, da te! La Wally is
about to go away from you, from you!
Lontana assai, e forse a te, Quite far away,
and perhaps to you,
E forse a te, non fara mai piu ritorno,And
perhaps to you, will never more return,
Ne piu la rivedrai! Nor ever more see you
again!
Mai piu, mai piu! Never again, never again!
Ne andro sola e lontana, I shall go away alone
and far,
Come l'eco della pia campana, Like the echo
of the pious church-bell goes away,
La, fra la neve bianca, n'andro, There,
somewhere in the white snow, I shall go,
N'andro sola e lontana I'll go away alone and
far
E fra le nubi d'or! And amongst the clouds of
gold!
Lyrics to Pourquoi Me Reveiller?
(Massenet) :
Pourquoi me reveiller, o souffle du
printemos?
Sur mon front je sens tes caresses.
Et pourtant bien proche est le temps
Des orages et des tristesses.
Demain, dans le vallon,
Se souvenant de ma gloire premiere,
Et ses yeux vainement chercheront ma
splendeur:
Ils ne trouveront plus que deuil et que
misere!
Helas! Pourquoi me reveiller, o souffle du
printemps?
Lyrics to Ebben Ne Andro Lontana :
Ebben Ne andro lontana.
Come va l'eco della pia campana
La, fra la neve Bianca,
La, fra le nubi d'or,
Laddove la speranza
E rimpianto, e dolor!
O della madre mia casa gioconda,
La Wally ne andra d ate lontana assai,
E forse a te non fara mai piu ritorno,
Ne piu la rivedrai!
Mai piu, mai piu!
Ne andro sola e lontana
Come l'eco della pia campana,
La fra le neve bianco;
Ne andro sola e lontana
E fra le nubi d'or
Ma fermo il pie! Ne andiam,
Che lunga e la via! Ne andiam!
BELLA SICCOME UN ANGELO
Bella siccome un angelo
in terra pellegrino,
fresca siccome il giglio
che s'apre in sul mattino,
occhio che parla e ride,
sguardo che i cor conquide.
Chioma che vince l'ebano
sorriso incantator.
sorriso incantator.
Alma innocente e candida,
che sé medesma ignora;
modestia impareggiabile,
dolcezza che innamora
ai miseri pietosa,
gentil, buona, amorosa.
Il ciel l'ha fatta nascere
per far beato un cor.
per far beato un cor.
Il ciel l'ha fatta nascere
per far beato un cor.
Il ciel l'ha fatta nascere
per far beato un cor.
Il ciel l'ha fatta nascere
per far beato un cor.
Song to the Moon
Měsíčku no nebi hlubokém,
světlo tvé daleko vidí,
po světě bloudíš širokém,
díváš se v příbytky lidí.
Měsíčku, postůj chvíli,
řekni mi, kde je můj milý!
Řekni mu, stříbrný měsíčku,
mé že jej objímá rámě,
aby si alespoň chviličku
vzpomenul ve snění no mne.
Zasvit mu do daleka,
řekni mu, kdo tu naň čeká!
O mně-li duše lidská sní,
af se tou vzpomínkou vzbudí!
Měsíčku, nezhasni, nezhasni!
VILJA-LIED
Es lebt' eine Vilja, ein Waldmägdelein,
Ein Jäger erschaut' sie im Felsenge Stein!
Dem Burschen, dem wurde so eigen zu Sinn,
Er schaute and schaut' auf das Waldmägdlein
hin.
Und ein nie gekannter Schauer faßt
den jungen Jägersmann;
Sehnsuchtsvoll fing er still zu seufzen an:
Vilja, o Vilja, du Waldmägdelein,
Faß' mich und laß mich dein Trautliebster
sein.
Vilja, o Vilja, was tust du mir an?
Bang fleht ein liebkranker Mann!
Das Waldmägdlein streckte die Hand nach
ihm aus
Und zog ihn hinein in ihr felsiges Haus;
Dem Burschen die Sinne vergangen fast sind,
So liebt und so küßt gar kein irdisches Kind.
Als sie sich dann sattgeküßt verschwand
sie zu derselben Frist!
Einmal noch hat der Arme sie gegrüßt: I got a gal, got my song
Got Hebben the whole day long
No use complaining
Vilja, o Vilja, du Waldmägdelein, Got my gal, got my Lawd
Faß' mich und laß mich dein Trautliebster Got my song
sein.
Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'
Vilja, o Vilja, was tust du mir an? And nuttin's plenty for me
Bang fleht ein liebkranker Mann! I got the sun, got the moon
Got the deep blue sea
Lippen Schweigen De foks wid plenty o' plenty
Got to pray all de day
Lippen schweigen, 's flüstern geigen, hab mich Seems wid plenty you sure got to worry
lieb How to keep the debbel away
AI die Schntte sagen bitte: Hab mich lieb! Away
I ain't frettin 'bout hell
Jeder Druck der Hände deutlich mir s 'Till de time arrive
beschneb Never worry long as I'm well
Er sagt klar 's ist wahr. 's ist wahr. du hast Never one to strive
To be good, to be bad
mich lieb What the hell
I is glad I's alive
Bei jedem Walzerschritt tanzt auch die Seele
Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'
mit And nuttin's plenty for me
da hüpft das Herzchen klein, es klopft und I got a gal, got my song
pocht: Got Hebben the whole day long
No use complaining
Sei mein, sei mein! Got my gal, got my Lawd
Und der Mund er spncht kein Wort Got my song
doch tönt es fort und immer fort:
Summertime

Oh, Your daddy's rich
Jeder Druck der Hände deutlich mir's

You're going to rise up singing

'Fraid somebody's a-goin' to rob 'em There's a'nothing can harm you
While dey's out a-makin' more With your daddy and mammy standing by
What for?

Dat's no way to be Summertime,
Dey kin steal de rug from de floor And the livin' is easy
Dat's okeh wid me

Like de stars in de skies And the cotton is high
All are free

Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin' Your daddy's rich

And nuttin's plenty for me And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry

through 'I's yours forever -'
Moonfall
Between the very dead of night and day,
Upon a steely sheet of light, I'll lay
And in the moonfall,
I'll give myself to you.
I'll bathe in moonfall and dress
myself in dew.
Before the cloak of night reveals the morn,
Time holds its breath while it conceals the
dawn
And in the moonfall, all sound is frozen still,
Yet warm against me, your skin will warm the
chill of
Moonfall, I feel its fingers
Lingers the veil of nightshade...
Light made from stars that all too soon fall.
Moonfall that pours from you.
Betwixt our hearts, let nothing intervene.
Between our eyes, the only sight I've seen
Is lust'rous moonfall as it blinds my view,
So that soon I only see but you.
Loving You This is why I live
Loving you is why I do the things I do
Loving you is not a choice Loving you is not in my control
It's who I am But loving you I have a goal
Loving you is not a choice For what's left of my life
Not much reason to rejoice I will live
But it gives me purpose and I will die
Gives me voice for you
to say to the world It gives me purpose
This is why I live gives me voice
You are what I live to say to the world
This is why I live This is why I live
Loving you is why I do the things I do Yes, this is why I live
Loving you is not in my control Loving you is why I do the things I do
But loving you I have a goal Loving you is not in my control
For what's left of my life But loving you
I will live I have a goal
and I will die for what's left of my life
for you I will live
It gives me purpose and I will die
gives me voice for you
to say to the world I will live
This is why I live and I will die
Yes, this is why I live for you
Loving you is why I do the things I do
Loving you is not in my control SOMETIMES A DAY GOES BY,
SOMETIMES A DAY GOES BY,
But loving you
I have a goal ONE WHOLE ENTIRE DAY
for what's left of my life
I will live WHEN I DON`T THINK OF HER.
and I will die
TWENTY-FOUR HOURS PASS,
for you
I will live I LOOK AROUND AND FIND
and I will die
for you THAT I HAVEN`T THOUGHT OF HER.

NOT EVEN WHEN

Loving you is not a choice
It's who I am I`M SOMEWHERE WE USED TO GO,
Loving you is not a choice
Not much reason to rejoice NOT EVEN IF
But it gives me purpose
THAT`S SOMEONE WE USED TO KNOW.
Gives me voice
to say to the world IT`S HARDLY EVERYDAY,
This is why I live
You are what I live IT`S MOST UNUSUAL,
IN FACT,

I CAN`T REMEMBER WHEN,

BUT...

SOMETIMES A DAY GOES BY

WHEN I DON`T THINK OF HER

TILL MORNING COMES,

AND THEN THERE SHE IS AGAIN.
