Russell Watson Album

Va, pensiero, sull'ali dorate
Cross the mountains and fly over the oceans
Reach the land, find the place where all children go
Every night after listening to this lullaby,
There you'll find their heroes alive, protecting their innocence.
Bless them all, their simple soul so pure and so wonderful.

Va, pensiero, sull'ali dorate
Let this beautiful dream carry on for all night long

Arpa d'or dei fatidici vati
perché muta dal salice pendi?
Le memorie nel petto raccendi
ci favella del tempo del tempo che fu!

Va, pensiero, sull'ali dorate
va, ti posa sui clivi, sui colli
ove olezzano tepide e molli
l'aure dolci del suolo natal!

Every night after listening to this lullaby!

Penso che un sogno così non ritorni mai più:
mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu,
poi d'improvviso venivo dal vento rapito
e incominciavo a volare nel cielo infinito...
Volare... oh, oh!...
cantare... oh, oh, oh, oh!
nel blu, dipinto di blu
felice di stare lassù.

E volavo, volavo felice
più in alto del sole ed ancora più in su,
mentre il mondo pian piano
spariva lontano laggiù,
una musica dolce suonava
soltanto per me...

Volare... oh, oh!...
cantare... oh, oh, oh, oh!
nel blu, dipinto di blu
felice di stare lassù.
una musica dolce suonava
soltanto per me

Volare... oh, oh!...
cantare... oh, oh, oh, oh!
nel blu, dipinto di blu
felice di stare lassù.
una musica dolce suonava
soltanto per me

Volare... oh, oh!...
cantare... oh, oh, oh, oh!
nel blu, dipinto di blu
felice di stare lassù.
Volare... oh, oh!...
cantare... oh, oh, oh, oh!

(with Lulu)

I pray you'll be our eyes and watch us where we go.
And help us to be wise in times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer when we lose our way
Lead us to the place guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe

La luce che tu hai
{I pray we'll find your light}
Nel cuore resterà
{And hold it in our hearts.}
A ricordarci che
{When stars go out each night,}
Eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
{Let this be our prayer}
Quanta fede c'è
{When shadows fill our day}
Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

Sogniamo un mondo senza più violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno lo dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace, di fraternità
La forza che ci dà
{We ask that life be kind}
È il desiderio che
{And watch us from above}
Ognuno trovi amor
{We hope each soul will find}
Intorno e dentro sé
{Another soul to love}
Let this be our prayer {Let this be our prayer},
Just like every child
Need to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
È la fede che
Hai acceso in noi,

Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole,
n'aria serena doppo na tempesta!
Pe' ll'aria fresca pare già na festa...
Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole.

Ma n'atu sole
cchiù bello, oje ne'.
O sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
O sole
O sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
sta 'nfronte a te!

Quanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne,
me vene quase 'na malincunia;
sotto 'a fenesta toia restarria
quanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne.

Ma n'atu sole
cchiù bello, oje ne'.
O sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
O sole
O sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!

(Franz Shubert)

(Sancta Maria
Sancta Maria)

Maria
Ora pro nobis
Nobis peccatoribus
Nunc et in hora
In hora mortis nostrae

L'aurora di bianco vestita
Già l'uscio dischiude al gran sol;
Di già con le rosee sue dita
Carezza de' fiori lo stuol!
Commosso da un fremito arcano
Intorno il creato già par;
E tu non ti desti, ed invano
Mi sto qui dolente a cantar.

Metti anche tu la veste bianca
E schiudi l'uscio al tuo cantor!
Ove non sei la luce manca;
Ove tu sei nasce l'amor.

Ove non sei la luce manca;

(from Captain Corelli's Mandolin)

Ricordo ancor
in fondo al cuor
il lacrimar per te
t'invoco ancor in sogno con me
il tuo volto tra i mieli sguardi
rubati al mondo sol' per te
lo saro per te un fiume
di neve bianca che si sciogliera
al sloe dei tuoi occhi di primavera
Guardami ancora

Translation:
I still remember crying
from the depths of my heart for you
I still call for you in my dreams
your face among images
stolen form the world, just for you
For you I will be a river
of white snow melting
under the brightness of your eyes in spring

You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me
Can't you see?
You're everything I hoped for
You're everything I need
You are so beautiful to me

Such joy and happiness
You bring
Such joy and happiness
You bring
Like a dream

A guiding light
That shines in the night
Heaven's gift to me

There's a place for us,
Somewhere a place for us.
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere.

There's a time for us,
Some day a time for us,
Time together with time to spare,
Time to look, time to spend,
Some day!

Somewhere.
We'll find a new way of living,
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere . . .

There's a place for us,
A time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we're halfway there.
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow,
Some day,

Che gelida manina,
se la lasci riscaldar.
Cercar che giova ?
Al buio non si trova.
Ma per fortuna
e una notte di luna,
e qui la luna
l'abbiamo vicina.
Aspetti, signorina,
le diro con due parole
chi son, chi son, e che faccio,come vivo. Vuole?
Chi son, chi son? Sono un poeta.
Che cosa faccio? Scrivo.
E come vivo? Vivo.
In poverata mia lieta
scialo da gran signore
rime ed inni d'amore.
Per sogni e per chimere
e per castelli in aria,
l'anima ho millionaria.
Talor dal mio forziere
ruban tutti i gioelli
due ladri, gli occhi belli.
V'entrar con voi pur ora,
ed i miei soni usati
e i bei sogni miei,
tosto si diliguar!
Ma il furto non m'accora
poiche, poiche v'ha preso stanza
la speranza!
Or che mi conoscete,
parlate voi, deh! Parlate. Chi siete?
Vi piaccia dir!

from opera Tosca

E lucevan le stelle
ed olezzava la terra
stridea l'uscio dell'orto
e un passo sfiorava la rena.
Entrava ella, fragrante,
mi cadea fra le braccia.
Oh! dolce baci, o languide carezze,
mentr'io fremente
le belle forme disciogliea dai veli!
Svani per sempre il sogno mio d'amore
L'ora e fuggita
e muoio disperato!
E non ho amato mai tanto la vita!
tanto la vita!

(with Lionel Richie)

When the world is filled with thunder and the winds are storming above,
Deep within the night we wonder if we've lost the magic of love.
But there's something inside us that looks to the sun.
We dream that this light will guide us with love for everyone.

When the birds of war are flying and the clouds are heavy with rain,
Seems as though the skies are crying, and we feel the cold tears of pain.
But there's something inside us that looks to the sun.
We dream that this light will guide us with love for everyone.
Love is there for us, everywhere for us
In the sound of praying, little children playing
Open your heart.
Love to each of us, here in each of us

Constant as the moon glows, or the way the grass grows
Always and forever.
Love is the river that fills every sea,
And it's waters that mirror the way life should be.

When the world is free of thunder, and the skies are peaceful above,
Once again we'll know the wonder of the magic power of love,
Oh, the magic of love.

To you I'm just a friend
That's where it ends
To you
That's who I am
Someone that you can come to
When somebody breaks your heart to talk to
Someone who always cares
Your heart's with someone else
But who's always there
Who's always there to catch the tears
When they fall
Who do you run to
Who do you always call
Who's there with the shoulder when you're feeling sad
When will you see me as more than that
Who's always there to catch the tears
To me You're everything
You're all I need
To me
That's who I see
Someone I love to run to
To hold in my arms and I like to come to
Someone to share my life
Your heart's with someone else
But who's standing by

Who's standing by to catch the tears
When they fall
Who do you run to
Who do you always call
Who's there with the shoulder when you're feeling sad
When will you see me as more than that
Was always there to catch the tears
Oh I wish you would see me as more than just a friend
You come to
When somebody breaks your heart to talk to
Someone who always care
Your heart's with someone else
But who's always there

Who's always there to catch the tears
When they fall
Who do you run to
Who do you always call
Who's there with the shoulder when you're feeling sad
When will you see me as more than that
Who's always there to catch the tears
Who's always there to catch the tears
Catch the tears

Rise and shine
Wake up your sleepy end
Cause now it's time to leave your cozy bed as the dawn is
waking
Your adventure is waiting

Walking hand in hand
Out of Christmas time and into wonderland
With your best friend
Your dream has just come true
And won't believe it's you
It's happening too
You're lost in the snow

As night time falls
You cry in your darkest fear
You think you've lost your friend who will dry your tears
But a new life is dawning, and a new day calling

Walking hand in hand
Out of Christmas time and into wonderland
With your best friend
Your dream has just come true
And you can't believe it's you
That holds a dream
You're lost in the snow
You're lost in the snow

Told you feel lost without hurt
Soon the night time will be over

And you'll be walking hand in hand
Out of Christmas time and into wonderland
With your best friend
Your dream has just come true
And you won't believe it's you
It's happening too
You're lost in the snow
You're lost in the snow

Se quel guerriero io fossi
Se il mio sogno si avverasse!...
Un esercito di prodi da me guidato...
e la vittoria
e il plauso di Menfi tutta!
E a te, mia dolce Aida,
tornar di lauri cinto...
Dirti, per te ho pugnato,
e per te ho vinto!

Celeste Aida, forma divina,
mistico serto di luce fior,
del mio pensiero tu sei regina,
tu di mia vita sei lo splendor.
Il tuo bel cielo vorrei ridarti,
le dolci brezze del patrio suol,
un regal serto sul crin posarti,
ergerti un trono vicino al sol.

Celeste Aida, forma divina,
mistico raggio di luce fior,
del mio pensiero tu sei regina,
tu di mia vita sei lo splendor.
Il tuo bel cielo vorrei ridarti,
le dolci brezze del patrio suol,
un regal serto sul crin posarti,
ergerti un trono vicino al sol.

It's been a long road, getting from there to here.
It's been a long time, but my time is finally near.
And I can feel the change in the wind right now. Nothing's in my way.
And they're not gonna hold me down no more, no they're not .
gonna hold me down.

Cause I've got faith of the heart.
I'm going where my heart will take me.
I've got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I've got strength of the soul. And no one's gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I've got faith, faith of the heart.

It's been a long night. Trying to find my way.
Been through the darkness. Now I finally have my day.
And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky.
And they're not gonna hold me down no more, no they're not
gonna change my mind.

Cause I've got faith of the heart.
I'm going where my heart will take me.
I've got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I've got strength of the soul. And no one's gonna bend or
break me.
I can reach any star. I've got faith, faith of the heart.
I've known the wind so cold, I've seen the darkest days.
But now the winds I feel, are only winds of change.
I've been through the fire and I've been through the rain.
But I'll be fine ...

Cause I've got faith of the heart.
I'm going where my heart will take me.
I've got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I've got strength of the soul. And no one's gonna bend or
break me.
I can reach any star. I've got faith, faith of the heart.
Cause I've got faith of the heart.
I'm going where my heart will take me.
I've got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I've got strength of the soul. And no one's gonna bend or
break me.
I can reach any star. I've got faith, faith of the heart.
