"Cinema Paradiso (se)"

"Cinema Paradiso (se)"


Se tu fossi nei miei occhi per un giorno
Vedresti la bellezza che piena d'allegria
Io trovo dentro gli occhi tuoi
E ignoro se è magia o realtà.

Se tu fossi nel mio cuore per un giorno
Potresti avere un'idea
Di ciò che sento io
Quando mi abbracci forte a te
E petto a petto, noi
Respiriamo insieme

Protagonista del tuo amor
Non so se sia magia o realtà

Se tu fossi nella mia anima un giorno
Sapresti cosa sento in me
Che m'innamorai
Da quell'istante insieme a te
E ciò che provo è
Solamente amore.

Da quell'istante insieme a te
E ciò che provo è
Solamente amore.

"Dulcinea"
(from "Man of La Mancha" musical)



I have dreamed thee too long,
Never seen thee or touched thee.
But known thee with all of my heart.
Half a prayer, half a song,
Thou hast always been with me,
Though we have been always apart.

Dulcinea... Dulcinea...
I see heaven when I see thee, Dulcinea,
And thy name is like a prayer
An angel whispers... Dulcinea... Dulcinea!

If I reach out to thee,
Do not tremble and shrink
From the touch of my hand on thy hair.
Let my fingers but see
Thou art warm and alive,
And no phantom to fade in the air.

Dulcinea... Dulcinea...
I have sought thee, sung thee,
Dreamed thee, Dulcinea!

Now I've found thee,
And the world shall know thy glory,
Dulcinea... Dulcinea!

"E Ti Prometterò"
(feat. Laura Pausini)

"E Ti Prometterò"
(feat. Laura Pausini)



Piano entrano raggi di luce ormai,
Mi alzo dai,
Nell'ombra gli occhi socchiusi mi guardano,
Mi parlano.
Dici mille parole d'amore con lo sguardo.

E ti prometterò,
Il cuore mio ti amerà per sempre,
E mi innamorerò,
Mi lascerò andare certamente per te vivrò.

Penso a tutti i miei sogni fuggiti via,
Quell'allegria,
Ora unico sogno è averti qui,
Amarti sì.
E sei bella, più della stella
Più bella, più del sole.

E ti prometterò,
Il cuore mio ti amerà per sempre,
E mi innamorerò,
Mi lascerò andare certamente per te.

Canto perché sei qui dentro e ti prometterò
Il cuore mio ti amerà per sempre,
E mi innamorerò,
Mi lascerò andare certamente per te vivrò.

(from "Les Miserables" musical)

"Empty Chairs At Empty Tables"
(from "Les Miserables" musical)



There's a grief that can't be spoken.
There's a pain goes on and on.
Empty chairs at empty tables
Now my friends are dead and gone.

Here they talked of revolution.
Here it was they lit the flame.
Here they sang about tomorrow
And tomorrow never came.

From the table in the corner
They could see a world reborn
And they rose with voices ringing
And I can hear them now!
The very words that they had sung
Became their last communion
On this lonely barricade at dawn.

Oh my friends, my friends forgive me
That I live and you are gone.
There's a grief that can't be spoken.
There's a pain goes on and on.

Phantom faces at the windows.
Phantom shadows on the floor.
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will meet no more.

Oh my friends, my friends, don't ask me
What your sacrifice was for
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will sing no more

"Falling Slowly"
(originally by Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová)



I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that

Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react

And games that never amount
to more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat
And point it home
We've still got time

Raise your hopeful voice
You have a choice
You make it now

Falling slowly
Eyes that know me
And I can't go back

Moods that take me
And erase me
And I'm painted black

Will you have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

So take this sinking boat
And point it home
We've still got time

Raise your hopeful voice
You have a choice
You've made it now

So take this sinking boat
And point it home
We've still got time

Raise your hopeful voice
You have a choice
You've made it now

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that

"False Alarms"

"False Alarms"


Far across this red horizon
I am walking down the line
I am picking up the pieces
That this storm has left behind

After all the clouds have fallen
I would breach the battered ground
Turn your darkness into light love
Turn your silence into sound

But I can't cage you in my arms
When my heart is jumping forward
To avoid your false alarms
And you can't tell me not to stay
When I opened up your window
And I watched you fly away

Have you raised the final anchor?
Have you cut the last sail free?
Sending off our due redemption
Like a funeral at sea

I will always hear you calling
You're the sway of falling leaves
Like a bird you'll spiral onward
And you'll know just where I'll be

[x2:]
And I can't cage you in my arms
When my heart is jumping forward
To avoid your false alarms
And you can't tell me not to stay
When I opened up your window
And I watched you fly away

I am closing up my window
'Til I see a blue horizon
And the quiet calm of love
Will fly my way

"February Song"

"February Song"


Where has that old friend gone
Lost in a February song
Tell him it won't be long
Til he opens his eyes, opens his eyes
Where is that simple day
Before colors broke into shades
And how did I ever fade
Into this life, into this life

And I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
When all that I've known is lost and found
I promise you I, I'll come back to you one day

Morning is waking up
And sometimes it's more than just enough
When all that you need to love
Is in front of your eyes
It's in front of your eyes

And I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
Sometimes it's hard to find the ground
Cause I keep on falling as I try to get away
From this crazy world

And I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
When all that I've known is lost and found
I promise you I, I'll come back to you one day

Where has that old friend gone
Lost in a February song
Tell him it won't be long
Til he opens his eyes
Opens his eyes

"Feels Like Home"

"Feels Like Home"


Something in your eyes makes me wanna lose myself
Makes me wanna lose myself in your arms
Something in your voice, makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts the rest of my life

If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how low I've felt for so long
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my world the way you've done

It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I've come from
It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

Another window breaks down a long, dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But that's alright, 'cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see, through the dark there is light

Well, if you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
And if you knew how happy you are making me
I never thought that I'd love anyone so much

It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I've come from
It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

"Finishing The Hat"
(from "Sunday in the Park with George" musical)

"Finishing The Hat"
(from "Sunday in the Park with George" musical)



Yes, she looks for me - good.
Let her look for me to tell me why she left me
As I always knew she would.
I had thought she understood.
They have never understood,
And no reason that they should.

But if anybody could...
Finishing the hat,
How you have to finish the hat.
How you watch the rest of the world
From a window
While you finish the hat.
Mapping out a sky.
What you feel like planning a sky.
What you feel when voices that come
Through the window
Go
Until they distance and die,
Until there's nothing but sky

And how you're always turning back too late
From the grass or the stick
Or the dog or the light,
How the kind of woman willing to wait's
Not the kind that you want to find waiting
To return you to the night,
Dizzy from the height,
Coming from the hat,
Studying the hat,
Entering the world of the hat,
Reaching through the world of the hat
Like a window.

Back to this one from that.
Studying a face,
Stepping back to look at a face
Leaves a little space in the way like a window,
But to see - it's the only way to see.

And when the woman that you wanted goes,
You can say to yourself, "Well, I give what I give."
But the women who won't wait for you knows
That, however you live,
There's a part of you always standing by,
Mapping out the sky,
Finishing a hat...
Starting on a hat.
Finishing a hat...
Look, I made a hat...
Where there never was a hat

"Galileo"

"Galileo"


Galileo fell in love
As a Galilean would
And he wondered what in Heaven,
Who invented such a joy?

But the question got the better of his scientific mind
And to his blind and dying days he looked up high and often sighed
And sometimes cried:

Who puts the rainbow in the sky?
Who lights the stars at night?
Who dreamt up someone so divine,
Someone like you and made them mine?

Love can make you ask some funny questions now and then
But just remember the alternatives
For I remember when I was lonely,
And unhappy and my lips were cold as ice
But you kissed me and good Heavens,
Now I'm here in paradise

So if I'm ever not kissing you or looking in your eyes
I won't be blind and I won't cry
I'll look up high and gladly sigh

And thank the guy
Who puts the rainbow in the sky
Who lights the stars at night
Who dreamt up someone so divine,
Someone like you and made them mine
Someone like you and made them mine
