When you wish upon a star Makes no difference who you are Anything your heart desires will come to you If your heart is in your dream No request is too extreme When you wish upon a star As dreamers do Fate is kind She brings to those who love The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing Like a bolt out of the blue Fate steps in and sees you through When you wish upon a star Your dreams come true When you wish upon a star Makes no difference who you are Anything your heart desires will come to you If your heart is in your dream No request is too extreme When you wish upon a star As dreamers do Fate is kind She brings to those who love The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing Like a bolt out of the blue Fate steps in and sees you through When you wish upon a star Your dreams come true

“Lasciatemi morire” Claudio Monteverdi First part: Lasciatemi morire! E che volete voi che mi conforte In così dura sorte, In così gran martire? Lasciatemi morire! *** Let me die! And whom would you want to comfort me in such a cruel fate, in such great torment? Let me die!

My lovely Amaryllis My lovely Amaryllis, Don’t you know, O my heart's sweet desire, That it is you whom I love? Believe in my love; and if fear besets you, Don’t doubt that it’s true. Open my breast and see written on my heart: Amaryllis, Amaryllis, Amaryllis, is my love. English translation by Paul Archer of the text of Amarilli, mia bella by Guilio Caccini (1551-1618). See the copyright notice below. Amarilli Mia Bella Amarilli, mia bella, Non credi, o del mio cor dolce desio, D'esser tu l'amor mio? Credilo pur: e se timor t'assale, Dubitar non ti vale. Aprimi il petto e vedrai scritto in core: Amarilli, Amarilli, Amarilli è il mio amore.

Bist du bei mir Bist du bei mir, geh ich mit Freuden Zum Sterben und zu meiner Ruh. Ach, wie vergnügt wär so mein Ende, Es drückten deine schönen Hände Mir die getreuen Augen zu. Be thou with me English Translation © Z. Philip Ambrose Be thou with me and I’ll go gladly To death and on to my repose. Ah, how my end would bring contentment, If, pressing with thy hands so lovely, Thou wouldst my faithful eyes then close.

What if I never speed, shall I straight yield to despair, and still on sorrow feed that can no loss repair; or shall I change my love, for I find pow'r to depart, and in my reason prove I can command my heart? But if she will pity my desire, and my love requite, then ever shall she live my dear delight. Come, come, come, while I have a heart to desire thee. Come, come, come, for either I will love or admire thee. Oft have I dreamed of joy, yet I never felt the sweete, But tired with annoy, my griefs each other greete. Oft have I left my hope, as a wretch by fate forlorn, But Love aims at one scope, and lost will still returne. He that once loves with a true desire never can depart, For Cupid is the king of every heart. Come, come, come, while I have a heart to desire thee. Come, come, come, for either I will love or admire thee.

LYRICS: Lorsque au soleil couchant les rivières sont roses Et qu'un tiède frisson court sur les champs de blé, Un conseil d'être heureux semble sortir des choses Et monter vers le coeur troublé. Un conseil de goûter le charme d'être au monde Cependant qu'on est jeune et que le soir est beau, Car nous nous en allons, comme s'en va cette onde: Elle à la mer, nous au tombeau. TRANSLATION: When streams turn pink in the setting sun And a slight shudder rushes through the wheat fields, A plea for happiness seems to rise out of all things And it climbs up towards the troubled heart. A plea to relish the charm of life While there is youth and the evening is fair, For we pass away, as the wave passes: The wave to the sea, we to the grave.

Where'er you walk Cool gales shall fan the glade Trees where you sit Shall crowd into a shade Trees where you sit Shall crowd into a shade Where'er you tread The blushing flowers shall rise And all things flourish And all things flourish Where'er you turn your eyes Where'er you walk Cool gales shall fan the glade Trees where you sit Shall crowd into a shade Trees where you sit Shall crowd into a shade

And no one knows it-- Where she came from, where she's going. And once you meet her, You will find that something inside is changing. She's like a rainbow-- When she comes up, all are lit up. And when she whispers, You will hear this: "Don't chase after rainbows." High on a hill, there's a green meadow. All around, it's breezin', She's smilin', She'll let them sing angel songs. She's like a fairy When she's trembling, when she's dancing. Just see her rambling-- How it's nice to follow her to the end. You want some meanings of the life, And go to see her. Don't ask her too much-- Oh yes, she'll be out of your sight Right over. High on a hill, there's a green meadow. All around, it's breezin', She's smilin', She'll let them sing angel songs. Everyone is sad and blue when she is far away. Don't you know it's time to pray she'll be coming soon? And you think you hear her voice ringing from above. And no one knows it-- Where she came from, where she's going. And once you meet her, Maybe you'll stay forever young.

Blow, blow thou winter wind, Thou art not so unkind As man’s ingratitude; Thy tooth is not so keen Although thou art not seen, Although thy breath be rude. Heigh ho! sing heigh ho! Unto the green holly: Most friendship is feigning, Most loving mere folly: Then, heigh ho! the holly! This life is most jolly. Freeze, freeze thou bitter sky, Thou dost not bite so nigh As benefits forgot: Though thou the waters warp, Thy sting is not so sharp As friend remember’d not. Heigh ho! sing heigh ho! unto the green holly: Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly Then, heigh ho! the holly! This life is most jolly.
