If thou art near when life is closing
All joyful shall i fall asleep,
Be thou with me as i awaken,
And claim my soul when i arise
If thou art near when life is closing,
All joyful shall i fall asleep,
Ah, how serene, were thus my passing,
Thy tender hand upraised in blessing
Would sanctify my slumber deep
Be thou with me, as i awaken
And claim my soul when i arise.

Lascia ch'io pianga
Mia cruda sorte,
E che sospiri la libert?
E che sospiri,
E che sospiri la libert?
Lascia ch'io pianga
Mia cruda sorte,
E che sospiri la libert?


Il duolo infranga
Queste ritorte
De miei martiri
Sol per piet?
De miei martiri
Sol per piet?

Lascia ch'io pianga
Mia cruda sorte,
E che sospiri la libert?
E che sospiri,
E che sospiri la libert?
Lascia ch'io pianga
Mia cruda sorte,
E che sospiri la libert?

Let me weep over
My cruel fate,
And that i long for freedom!
And that i long,
And that i long for freedom!
Let me weep over
My cruel fate,
And that i long for freedom!


The duel infringes
These images
Of my sufferings
I pray for mercy.
For my sufferances.
I pray for mercy.

Let me weep over
My cruel fate,
And that i long for freedom!
And that i long,
And that i long for freedom!
Let me weep over
My cruel fate,
And that i long for freedom!

Silent night! holy night!
All is calm, all is bright,
Round yon virgin mother and child,
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace ( 2x )

Silent night! holy night!

Shepherds quake at the sight;
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia!
Christ the saviour is born ( 2x )

Silent night! holy night!

Son of god, love's pure light;
Radiant beams from thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, lord at thy birth ( 3x )

Last night i lay asleeping
There came a dream so fair,
I stood in old jerusalem
Beside the temple there
I heard the children singing
And ever as they sang,
Methought the voice of angels
From heaven in answer rang
"jerusalem, jerusalem!
Lift up you gates and sing,
Hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna to your king!"

And then methought my dream was chang'd
The streets no longer rang
Hush'd were the glad hosannas
The little children sang
The sun grew dark with mystery,
The morn was cold and chill
As the shadow of a cross arose
Upon a lonely hill
"jerusalem, jerusalem!
Hark! how the angels sing,
Hosanna in the highest,
Hosanna to your king!"

And once again the scene was chang'd
New earth there seem'd to be,
I saw the holy city
Beside the tideless sea
The light of god was on its streets
The gates were open wide,
And all who would might enter
And no one was denied.
No need of moon or stars by night,
Or sun to shine by day,
It was the new jerusalem
That would not pass away
"jerusalem! jerusalem
Sing for the night is o'er
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna for evermore!"

Summertime
And de livin is easy
Fish are jumpin
An de cotton is high
Oh yo daddy's rich
An yo ma's good lookin
So hush little baby don you cry

One of dese mournins
You goin to rise up singin
Den you'll spread yo wings
An you'll take the sky
But till that mournin
Deres a nothin can harm you
With daddy an mommy standin by.

(ford global anthem)

Just leave all your troubles behind now
My way is clear and true
Reach into the light
That shines in you.

E giunta l'ora del desio(this is the hour of destiny)
All around the world
Questo e il momento dell'addio(this is the moment of goodbye)
All around the world
The dawn is rising on a new day
Time for us to go
The shadows fall and quickly fade away
Time to wave hello

It's time to go now
Time to wave hello now
Let your dreams be wings
That fly as far as the stars

It's time to wave hello
All around the world we go
Shadows fall behind us
As we follow the sun
That moment has come
It's time to wave hello

It's time to go now
Time to wave hello now
Raise your hands and show the world
And tell everyone the moment has come
It's time to wave hello.

Just wave hello, just wave hello
Just wave hello

Son bella pastorella, che scende ogni mattino,
Ed offre un cestellino di fresche fruta a fior
Chi viene al primo albore avra vezzoso rose
E pmo rugiadose, venite al mio giardin.
Son bella pastorella, che scende ogni mattino
Ed offre un cestellino di fresche fruta a fior.
Ah.

Chi nel notturno orrore smarri la buona via
Alla capanna mia ritrovera il cammin
Venita, o passagiero
La pastorella e qua
Ma il fior del suo pensiero
Ad uno sol dara! ah.

I am the beautiful shepherdess,
Who descends every morning,
And offers a basket full of
Fresh fruit and flowers.
Who comes on the first harvest
Will have nice roses
And very good pommels
Come to my garden.
I am the beautiful shepherdess,
Who descends every morning,
And offers a basket full of
Fresh fruit and flowers.
Ah.

Which during the frightened night
The right way is lost,
In my shelter
You will find the fireplace
Come, oh passer-by
The shepherdess is here,
But her inner thoughts
Will only be given to one!
Come, oh passer-by,
The sheperdess is here,
But her inner thoughts
Will only be given to one!
Ah.

Guide me o thou great redeemer
Pilgrim through this barren land.
I am weak but thou art mighty
Hold me with thy powerful hand.
Bread of heaven
Feed me now and evermore

Open now the crystal fountain
Whence the healing streams do flow,
Let the fiery cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey though,
Strong deliverer
Be thou still my strength and shield.

When i tread the verge of jordan
Bid my fears subside
Death of death,
And hell's destruction,
Land me safe on canaan's side,
Songs of praises
I will ever give to thee.

My young love said to me "my mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind"
And she stepped away from me and this she did say,
"it will not be long, love, till our wedding day"

She stepped away from me, and she went thro' the fair.
And fondly i watched her move here and move there.
And then she went homeward with one star awake,
As the swan in the evening moves over the lake.

Last night she came to me, she came softly in,
So softly she came that her feet made no din.
And she laid her hand on me, and this she did say
"it will not be long love, till our wedding day"

Songs my mother taught me
In the days long vanish'd
Seldom from her eyelids
Were the teardrops banish'd

Now i teach my children
Each melodious measure
Oft the tears are flowing
Oft they flow from my mem'ry treasure
