Elton John: Sacrifice

It's a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation's strong
Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes calling
And negativity lands
Cold cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passing through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all
Mutual misunderstanding
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act
We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns

Purcell: Fairest Isle

Fairest isle, all isles excelling, Seat of pleasure and of love,
Venus here will choose her dwelling, And forsake her cyprian grove.
Cupid from his fav'rite nation, Care and envy will remove;
Jealousy that poisnous passion, And despair that dies for love.

Gentle murmurs sweet complaining, Sighs that blow the fire of love.
Soft repulses, kind disdaining, Shall be all the pains you prove.
Ev'ry swain shall pay his duty, Grateful ev'ry nymph shall prove;
And as these excel in beauty, Those shall be re-nowned for love.

Don't Cry For Me Argentina

[Eva:]
It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done

You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you

I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun

So I chose freedom
Running around, trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to

[Chorus:]

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired

They are illusions
They are not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for me Argentina

[chorus]

Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you.
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true

American folk song : amazing grace

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me;
I once was lost but now I am found,
I was blind, but now, I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come.
Twas grace that brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead us home.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Then when we'd first begun.

Rameau: La Nuit

O nuit, viens apporter à la terre
Le calme enchantement de ton mystère
L'ombre qui t'escorte est si douce
Si doux est le concert de tes voix chantant l'espérance
Si grand est ton pouvoir transformant tout en rêve heureux

O nuit, ô laisse encore à la terre
Le calme enchantement de ton mystère
L'ombre qui t'escorte est si douce
Est-il une beauté aussi belle que le rêve ?
Est-il de vérité plus douce que l'espérance ?

Reinhard Mey: Über den Wolken

(1974)

Wind Nord-Ost Startbahn null-drei,
bis hier hör’ ich die Motoren.
Wie ein Pfeil zieht sie vorbei,
und es dröhnt in meinen Ohren.
Und der nasse Asphalt bebt,
wie ein Schleier staubt der Regen.
Bis sie abhebt und sie schwebt
der Sonne entgegen.

Über den Wolken
muss die Freiheit wohl grenzenlos sein.
Alle Ängste, alle Sorgen, sagt man,
blieben darunter verborgen, und dann
würde das, was groß und wichtig erscheint,
plötzlich nichtig und klein.

Ich seh’ ihr noch lange nach,
seh’ sie die Wolken erklimmen.
Bis die Lichter nach und nach
ganz im Regengrau verschwimmen.
Meine Augen haben schon
jenen winzigen Punkt verloren.
Nur von fern klingt monoton
das Summen der Motoren.

Über den Wolken
muss die Freiheit wohl grenzenlos sein.
Alle Ängste, alle Sorgen, sagt man,
blieben darunter verborgen, und dann
würde das, was groß und wichtig erscheint,
plötzlich nichtig und klein.

Dann ist alles still, ich geh’.
Regen durchdringt meine Jacke.
Irgendjemand kocht Kaffee
in der Luftaufsichtsbaracke.
In den Pfützen schwimmt Benzin,
schillernd wie ein Regenbogen.
Wolken spiegeln sich darin.
Ich wär’ gerne mitgeflogen.

Über den Wolken
muss die Freiheit wohl grenzenlos sein.
Alle Ängste, alle Sorgen, sagt man,
blieben darunter verborgen, und dann
würde das, was groß und wichtig erscheint,
plötzlich nichtig und klein.
