When a man loves a woman Can't keep his mind on nothin' else He'd trade the world For a good thing he's found If she is bad, he can't see it She can do no wrong Turn his back on his best friend If he puts her down
When a man loves a woman Spend his very last dime Trying to hold on to what he needs He'd give up all his comforts And sleep out in the rain If she said that's the way It ought to be
When a man loves a woman I give you everything I got (yeah) Trying to hold on To your precious love Baby please don't treat me bad
When a man loves a woman Deep down in his soul She can bring him such misery If she is playing him for a fool He's the last one to know Loving eyes can never see
Yes when a man loves a woman I know exactly how he feels 'Cause baby, baby, baby I am a man When a man loves a woman
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 printemos? Why do you wake me now, o sweetest breath of spring ? On my brow I sense your most gentle caress, Yet how soon creeps on time Filled with tempests and with distress! Tomorrow through the vale, the traveler will pass, Recalling all of the glory of the past. And in vain he will search for the bloom of my youth, And nothing will he find but deep pain and endless sorrow. Alas! Why do you wake me now, o sweetest breath of spring?!
Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma! Tu pure, o Principessa, Nella tua freda stanza Guardi le stelle che tremano d'amore E di speranza! Ma il mio mistero e chiusoin me, No, no, sulla tua bocca lo diro Quando la luce splendera! Ed il mio bacio sciogliera il silenzio Che ti fa mia! Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle! Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincero! Vincero! Vincero! No one's sleeping! No one's sleeping! This evening, icy princess Perhaps in your cold chambers, Watch all the bright stars That tremble both with loving And with desire. I keep my secret locked inside, No one shall ever know my name! NO, no! When our two mouths Touch, she'll learn it, When the morning light shines forth! And then my kisses will dissolve Her silence and she will be mine! May this night end! May all the stars set! And may all the stars set! When dawn breaks, I shall win!
Una furtiva lagrima Negli occhi suoi spunto: Quelle festose giovani Invidiar sembro. Che piu ceracando io vo? M'ama, lo vedo.Un solo instante i palpiti Del suo bel cor sentir! I miei sospir, confondere Per poco a' suoi sospir! Cielo, si puo morir! Di piu non chiedo. One Tear That Falls So FurtivelyOne tear that falls so furtively from her sweet eyes has just sprung, as if she envied all the youths who laughingly passed her right by. What could I want more than this? She loves me! I see it.One moment just to hear her heart, beating so close next to mine, to hear my sighs like they were hers, her sighings as if they were mine! Heavens, please take me now: All that I wanted is mine now!
M'appari tutt' amor, il mio sguardo l'incontro; bella si che il mio cor, ansioso a lei volo; mi feri, m'invaghi quell' angelica belta, sculta in cor dall'amor cancellarsi non potra: il pensier di poter palpitar con lei d'amor, puo sopir il martir che m'affana e stranzia il cor. M'appari tutt'amor, il mio sguardo l'incontro; bella si cheil mio cor ansioso a lei volo; Marta, Marta tu sparisti e il mio corcol tuo n'ando! Tu la pace mi rapisti, di dolor io moriro.She Appeared To MeShe appeared to me, purest of love. I discovered with my eyes this vision of delight. Lovely was she, that my hungry heart, in a snap, to her did fly. I was hurt, I was charmed by that beauty from above. Love is etched in my heart, and cannot now be erased. The mere thought that our hearts with sweet love might beat as one is enough to forget all the sorrow that fills my heart. She appeared to me, purest of love. I discovered with my eyes this vision of delight. Lovely was she, that my hungry heart, In a snap to her did fly. Marta, Marta, you have left me, and my heart with yours has vanished. Peace and quiet, gone now forever, I will surely die of pain.
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? son un poeta. Che cosa faccio? Scrivo. E come vivo? Vivo. In poverta mia lieta scialo da gran signore rimi ed inni d'amore, Per sogni e per chimere e per castelli in aria l'anima ho milionaria.

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? How Cold Your Little Hand IsHow cold your little hand is! Will you let me warm it for you? Why bother looking? It's dark, and we won't find it. It's our good luck though, this night's filled with moonlight, up here the moonlight could rest on our shoulders. Please wait, my dear young lady, and I will quickly tell you who stands before you, and what I do, how I make my living. May I?Who am I? What am I? I am a poet. What keeps me bu

Recitar!...mentre preso dal delirio non so piu quel che dico e quel che faccio! Eppur...e d'uopa...sforzati! Bah, se tu forse un uom? Tu se' Pagliaccio! Vesti la giubba e la faccia infarina. La gente paga e rider vuole qua. E se Arlecchin t'invola Colombina, ridi, Pagliaccio...e ognun applaudira! Tramuta in lazzi lo spasmo ed il pianto; in una smorfia il singhiozzo e'l dolor... Ridi Pagliaccio, sul tuo amore infranto! Ridi del duol che t'avvelena il cor!On With The ShowGo on stage, while I'm nearly delirious? I don't know what I'm saying or what I'm doing! And yet, chin up! I'll try harder. Bah, you think you're a man? You're just a clown! On with the show, man, and put on your white-face. The people pay you and you must make them laugh. And if Harlequin should steal your Columbine, laugh, you're Pagliaccio, and the world will clap for you! Turn into banter all your pain and sorrow, and with your clown's face hide grief and distress... Laugh loud, Pagliaccio, forget all your troubles, Laugh off the pain that so empoisons your heart.
E lucevan le stelle, e olezzava le terra stridea l'uscio dell'orto e un passo sfiorava la rena. Entrava ella, fragrante, mi cadea fra le braccia. Oh! dolci baci, o languide carezze, mentr'io fremente le belle forme discogliea 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!How The Stars Seemed To ShimmerHow the stars seem to shimmer, the sweet scents of the garden, how the creaking gate whispered, and a footstep skimmed over the sand, how she then entered, so fragrant, and then fell into my two arms! Ah sweetest of kiss, languorous caresses, While I stood trembling, searching her features concealed by her mantle. My dreams of pure love, forgotten forever! All of it's gone now! I die hopeless, despairing, And never before have I loved like this!
[Cavaradossi is working on a portrait of the Madonna for the church of St. Andrea. Thought the painting closely resembles a beautiful parishioner there, Cavaradossi explains that it is a combination of that woman. Whom he does not know, and his own dark-haired, dark-eyed lover Floria Tosca.]Recondita armonia di belleze diverse!...E bruna Floria, l'ardente amante mia. E te, beltade ignota, cinta di chiome bionde! Tu azzuro hai l'occhio, Tosca ha l'occhio nero! L'arte nel suo mistero le diverse belleze insiem confonde: ma nel ritrar costei il mio solo pensiero, ah! il mio solo pensier, sei tu, Tosca, sei tu!What Strange And Lovely HarmonyWhat strange and lovely harmony of such different beauties! How dark is Floria, this ardent love of mine. And you, mysterious beauty, long blonde and flowing tresses, how your eyes are sky blue, Tosca's eyes are black-night. Art, too, with it's many mysteries, blends all together such different beauties. But though I paint another, my only thought is you, oh, my only thought is you, Tosca, is you, is you!
E la solita storia del pastore... Il povero ragazzo voleva raccontarla e s'addormi. C'e nel sonno l'oblio. Come l'invidio! Anch'io vorrei dormir cosi, nel sonno almen l'oblio trovar! La pace sol cercando io vo'. Vorrei poter tutto scordar! Ma ogni sforzo e vano. Davanti ho sempre di lei il dolce sembiante. La pace tolta E solo a me. Perche degg'io tanto penar? Lei! sempre lei mi parla ancor! Fatale vision, mi lascia! Mi fai tanto male, Ahime! It's That Familiar TaleIt's that familiar tale you've heard of the shepherd... That penniless young man, attempting to retell it, fell sound asleep. In such slumber there's oblivion. How I've envied him! Like him, I would sleep all of my days- at least if I slept, I might forget! I seek only peace, it's all I need! Forget it all, never recall! Yet all is futile effort, before me will always be that sweet face of hers, alas! My peace and my quiet, forever gone! Why must I suffer so, oh why? She, always she, speaks again to me! Vision so fatal, please vanish! How you have harmed me! Alas!
Celeste aida, forma divina, Mistico serto di luce e 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, ah! Heavenly Aida, goddess of beauty, Garland of flowers and of bright light. You are the ruler of all my thoughts, You are the splendor of my whole life. I'll bring you back, yes, to your lovely skies, To the soft breezes of your native land. I'll place a royal wreath upon your crown, And build you a throne close to the sun!
(M. BoltonB. Mann G.Haase) I walked in and she was standing there By the bar in a red dress, I couldn't catch my breath Her eyes, like fire, they reached into my heart But my soul was her target, I didn't know it yet I couldn't fight it, I felt my knees go weak She barely had to speak
I don't really wanna dance with the devil I admit it, she's a little too hot for me I don't really wanna walk through the fire The flame's getting higher She's killing me when she says
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby
She took my hand and led me down the stairs To the floor where the music was worshipped by strangers Her body moved in ways I've never seen How's the face of an angel so filled with danger I couldn't fight it, I couldn't take the heat She barely haad to speak
I don't really wanna dance with the devil I admit it, she's a little too hot for me I don't really wanna walk through the fire The flame's getting higher She's killing me when she says
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby
I don't really wanna fall tonight But it feels so right when I know it's so wrong I don't really wanna walk away 'Cause she's beggin' me to stay And she's much too strong
I don't really wanna dance with the devil I admit it, she's a little too hot for me I don't really wann
(M. BoltonB. Mann R. Perez) Gimme back my breath, gimme back my senses Gimme back my life, all my second chances If I'm gonna give my all, never be without you Tell me will you catch my fall, cause I'm about to
[Chorus:] Love is written on your face Do you believe in what you've found I'll be lost in time and space, until I hear that sound
I wanna hear you say it Doesn't get any better than this If this ain't really love then tell me baby what it is Without you I can't breathe, what do you promise me I wanna hear you say it, I wanna hear you say it
Gimme back my pride, take away this silence Gimme back my faith, show me where this road ends Take away my choice, deliver me forever You can free me with your voice Even if you whisper
[Chorus]
I wanna hear you say it Doesn't get any better than this If this ain't really love then tell me baby what it is Without you I can't breathe, what do you promise me I wanna hear you say it, I wanna hear you say it
Without you I can't breathe, what do you promise me I wanna hear you say it, I wanna hear you say it
Don't make me wait for it, you know I ache for it Don't make me break down and walk away Your eyes have said to me, walk to the ledge with me We're on the edge baby, tell me what I need to know.
[Chorus]
I wanna hear you say it Doesn't get any better than this If this ain't really love then tell me baby what it is
I wanna hear you say it Doesn't get any better than this If this ain't really love then tell me baby what it is Without you I can't breathe, what do you promise me I wanna hear you say
It's beautiful, your honesty You cry when you need to You say what you feel You're never afraid to wear you heart on your sleeve You're always so open with me
It's in your voice, I can hear it The sound of a woman in love
[Chorus:] Only a woman can love you so much Give you her life and give you her trust Not any woman can do what you do Only a woman like you
It's magical, your love for me It's more than a man could ever receive I'm just a man and it's hard to believe A woman like you could love me
It's in your eyes, I can see it The look of a woman in love
[Chorus]
If only I could find the words to say But I just can't, so forgive me Cause you took the words away You answered every prayer I always prayed
It's in your touch, I can feel it The feeling of a woman in love
There's something different about you And as I look in your eyes It says true love has finally found you And given you back your smile I'm sorry I couldn't love you The way I always meant to Now there's someone else to play that part
I hope he comforts the child in your heart I hope he understands the woman you are And may he never take for granted The little things that make love work And most of all I hope he's all that you deserve
I hear the way you talk about him And suddenly it's all so clear It's time for me to learn to move on How deep in my heart you're still there But I wanna see you happy Even if it means that I'll make Room for someone else to play that part
I hope he comforts the child in your heart I hope he understands the woman you are And may he never take for granted The little things that make love work And most of all I hope he's all that you deserve
Now and forever you will always be Someone who owns a place inside of me The only way I can let you know Is by letting go Now as I let you go
I hope he comforts the child in your heart I hope he understands the woman you are May he never take for granted The little things that make love work But most of all I hope he's all that you deserve Ooh yeah Most of all I wish you all that you deserve All that you deserve
I close my eyes now I pray That you're out there doing the same I'm full out of touch Stands alone And needs no vision to find its home
I've seen beauty in the mountains I've seen rivers make the sea I've seen light above horizon Shining down all over me I've seen beggar turns to rich man Seen the birds of mountains I don't wanna fight this feeling Just to let it go
Wanna love with my eyes closed Wanna feel you inside of my soul Want your warm body next to me I can feel when my heart knows Wanna love with my eyes closed
Deep in my mind I touch your skin To risk our emotion a life so thin Will you love me when I am on Just stronger hold
I've seen beauty in the mountains I've seen rivers make the sea I've seen light above horizon Shining down all over me I've seen beggars turn to rich man Seen the birds of mountains I don't wanna fight this feeling Just to let it go
Wanna love with my eyes closed Wanna feel you inside of my soul Want your warm body next to me I can feel when my heart knows Wanna love with my eyes closed Wanna live in the afterglow Wanna trust that I can believe Everything that my heart knows Wanna love with my eyes closed
I don't wanna fight this feeling Just to let it go
Wanna love with my eyes closed Want your warm body next to me I can feel when my heart knows Wanna love with my eyes closed Wanna live in the afterglow Wanna trust that I can believe Everything that my heart knows Wanna love with my eyes closed
I know I'm old 'til the moment when we dance I finally realize I'm not so strong Until my heart have had enough So I close the door round up But baby you prove me wrong
Now I remember what it's like to hurt so deep inside God I never wanna know til you brought me back to life Been forever since I love somebody till I cry because of you Because of you I can feel again I can feel again
My heart was going through the motion of beating But I was faking everything breath I take You taught me with the single kiss Simple truth I almost miss What good to heart that can't break
Now I remember what it's like to hurt so deep inside God I never wanna know til you brought me back to life Been forever since I love somebody till I cry because of you Because of you I can feel again Feel my life begin Put an end to all this emptiness and let you in Took me all enough and now that I know Never got this feeling Oh baby
Now I remember what it's like to hurt so deep inside God I never wanna know til you brought me back to life Been forever since I love somebody till I cry because of you Cause of you Baby every way you touch me makes my senses speak Now I dream in eleven colours Since you woke me from my sleep More you give, the more I wonder Where the hell I've been Because of you Because of you I can feel again I can feel again I can feel
How do I begin to say Words are not enough to show you how I really feel And how the night is now just knowing you are here I can show you night and day I'll hold you til the end of all tomorrows disappear Now it's all so clear What a fool I would have been If I never let you in Inside of me So faithfully stood by me
[Chorus:] It started with a leap of faith, took me to a higher place Though I wasn't ready to believe you were there to reach inside of me. I thank you for the love you gave For every step along the way You taught me to believe again Baby, that's the hardest part. It's all because you took the journey The journey to the center of my heart
Looking back I have to laugh Thinking how I walked the earth so proudly on my own When deep down I was scared to be alone Somewhere down that lonely path You appeared with love to follow anywhere I go How did you know that you could turn my world around This place I never would have found Without you I would spend my life afraid to fly
Your heart is my need And I love what it means to succeed As your fate is my prize Love you're breathe in me It's what keeps me alive Hold on 'till forever is gone Hold on to whatever it takes To go on and on and on, oh baby
This is the way that we live This is the world where our dreams survive Fight for the love that we give The love that we make is all in the way that we live The way that we live
In my dreams I can fly In your arms, there's no earth, no sky There's one truth, no lies There's no distance between us Just trust in our lives Hold on 'till forever is gone Hold on to whatever it takes to go on and on, oh baby
This is the way that we live This is the world where our dreams survive Fight for the love that we give The love that we make is all in the way that we live The way that we live, the way that we live
In our lives there's so much useless information The truth is as simple as the air that we breathe So many souls with the need for human affirmation You and I choose to believe we are free!
This is the way that we live This is the world where our dreams survive Fight for the love that we give The paths that we take it's all in the way that we live This is the way that we live This is the world where our dreams survive Fight for the love that we give This is the way that we live
