THE BOY FROM NOWHERE
The nights grow cold
My search for gold is leading nowhere
Whichever lonely road I take it seems to go where
It's a fight to survive just until tomorrow
How can I display
What I know I'm worthy of
When they turn me away.
The doors are closed to such as I
A Boy from Nowhere
But not to those who merely buy the right to go where
There'll be men with respect not humiliation
A man's place on earth
I have come to realise is decided by birth.
So what's the future?
No matter where I go
I will still belong
In Andalusia
Where we don't know where the next penny's coming from -
Something's wrong
I vow to Spain, I won't remain a Boy from Nowhere
There has to be a place for me and I must go where
I don't fantasise, like a million others
Not a man alive
Had to beg or steal or fight for the need to survive
So what's the future?
No matter where I go, I will still belong
In Andalusia
The good honest men grow weak and the rich grow strong
Something's wrong
Another dawn, another morn
A Boy from Nowhere
My destiny will guarantee that I must go where
It's a fight to survive just until tomorrow
One more mouth to feed
And the way things are round here
That's the last thing they need
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
DRAW ME CLOSE
Draw me close to you
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear you say that I'm your friend
Help me find a way to bring me back to you
[Chorus:]
You're all I want, You're all I've ever needed
You're all I want,
Help me know you are near
You are my desire
No one else will do
Cause no one else
Can take you place
To feel the warmth of Your embrace
Help me find a way to bring me back to you
[Chorus:]
You're all I want, You're all I've ever needed
You're all I want,
Help me know you are near

LOUISIANA
Louisiana 1927 Aaron Neville
What has happened down here, is the winds have changed
Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain
It rained real hard, and it rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
The river rose all day, the river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood, some people got away alright
The river had busted through clear down to Placker Mine
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
Louisiana, Louisiana
They`re trying to wash us away, they`re trying to wash us away
Oh Louisiana, Louisiana
They`re trying to wash us away, they`re trying to wash us away
President Coolidge come down, in a railroad train
With his little fat man with a note pad in his hand
President say "little fat man, oh isn`t it a shame,
What the river has done to this poor farmer`s land"
Oh Louisiana, Louisiana
They`re trying to wash us away, you`re trying to wash us away
Oh Louisiana, oh Louisiana
They`re trying to wash us away, oh Lord, they`re trying to wash us away
They`re trying to wash us away, they`re trying to wash us away

HEAVEN HELP US ALL
Heaven help the child who never had a home,
Heaven help the girl who walks the street alone
Heaven help the roses if the bombs begin to fall,
Heaven help us all.
Heaven help the black man if he struggles one more day,
Heaven help the white man if he turns his back away,
Heaven help the man who kicks the man who has to crawl,
Heaven help us all.
Heaven help us all, heaven help us all, help us all.
Heaven help us, Lord, hear our call when we call
Oh, yeah!
Heaven help the boy who won't reach twenty-one,
Heaven help the man who gave that boy a gun.
Heaven help the people with their backs against the wall,
Lord, Heaven help us all.
Heaven help us all, heaven help us all,
heaven help us all, help us all.
Heaven help us, Lord, hear our call when we call.
Now I lay me down before I go to sleep.
In a troubled world, I pray the Lord to
keep, keep hatred from the mighty,
And the mighty from the small,
Heaven help us all.
Oh, oh, oh, yeah!
Heaven help us

ONE MORE TIME
Nothing I must do,
Nowhere I should be,
No one in my life,
To answer to, but me
No more candlelights,
No more purple skies
No one to be near
As my heart slowly dies
Chorus:
If I could hold you One More Time
Like in the days when you were mine
I'd look at you
Till I was blind
So you would stay
I'd say a prayer each time you sigh
Cradle the moments like a child
I'd stop the world if only I
Could hold you One More Time
Mmmmmm....
I've memorized your face
I know your touch by heart
Still lost in your embrace
I dream of where you are
Chorus:
If I could hold you One More Time
Like in the days when you were mine
I'd look at you
Till I was blind
So you would stay
I'd say a prayer each time you sigh
Cradle the moments like a child
I'd stop the world if only I
Could hold you One More Time
Mmmm...One More Time

MISERERE
Miserere, miserere,
miserere, misero me,
pero brindo alla vita!
Ma che mistero, e la mia vita,
che mistero!
Sono un peccatore dell'anno ottantamila,
un menzognero!
Ma dove sono e cosa faccio,
come vivo?
Vivo nell'anima del mondo
perso nel vivere profondo!
Io sono il santo che ti ha tradito
quando eri solo
e vivo altrove e osservo il mondo
dal cielo,
e vedo il mare e le foreste,
vedo me che...
Vido nell'anima del mondo
perso nel vivere profondo!
Se c'e una notte buia abbastanza
da nascondermi, nascondermi,
se c'e una luce, una speranza,
sole maginifico che splendi dentro me
dammi la gioia di vivere
che anchora non c'e!
Miserere, miserere,
quella gioia di vivere
che forse ancora non c'e.

NON TE SCORDAR DI ME
Partirono le rondini dal mio paese
freddo e senza sole,
cercando primavere di viole,
nidi d'amore e di felicita.
La mia piccola rondine parti
senza lasciarmi un bacio,
senza un addio parti.
Non ti scordar di me:
la vita mia legata e a te.
Io t'amo sempre piu,
nel sogno mio rimani tu.
Non ti scordar di me:
la vita mia legata e a te.
C'e sempre un nido nel mio cor per te.
Non ti scordar di me!
Non ti scordar di me! ecc.

THE PRAYER
. 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.

When shadows fill our day,

Sogniamo un mondo senza piu violenza,
un mondo di giustizia e di speranza,
ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino,
simbolo di pace e di fraternita.
La forza che ci dai
We ask that life be kind
e il desiderio che
and watch us from above.
ognuno trovi amor
We hope each soul will find
intorno e dentro a se.
another soul to love.

Just like every child
needs to find a place,
guide us with your grace,
give us faith so we'll be safe.
E la fede che
hai acceso in noi,
sento che ci salvera

THE HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the 'Rising Sun'
And it's been the ruin of many a young poor boy
And, God, I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
Sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
Oh, Mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
I got one foot on the platform
And the other foot on the train
I'm going back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
Well there is a house in New Orleans
They call the 'Rising Sun'
And its been the ruin of many a young poor boy
And God, I know I'm one
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

WE WILL STAND TOGETHER
We will stand together
Even through the darkest hour
We know there will be a dawn for us
When the world seems broken
Broken like the hearts within us
Destiny will guide us and we'll dare to raise our eyes to heaven
God will light our way
We shall win the day
We shall win the day...
Then once again the glorious
We will emerge victorious
Until then hand in hand
We'll let history know that..
We will stand together
Even in the darkest moment
Destiny will guide us and we'll dare to raise our eyes to heaven
History will say..
We shall win the day
We shall win the day
We will stand together... till then

SMILE
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky you’ll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile what’s the use of crying
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
When there are clouds in the sky
You’ll get by if you smile
And maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile what’s the use of crying
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

NEW YORK STATE OF MIND
Some folks like to get away,
Take a holiday from the neighborhood.
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood.
But I'm takin' a Greyhound on the Hudson River line.
I'm in a New York state of mind.
I've seen all the movie stars in their fancy cars and their limousines.
Been high in the Rockys under the evergreens.
I know what I'm needin', and I don't wanna waste more time.
I'm in a New York state of mind.
It was so easy livin' day by day
Out of touch with the rhythym and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, the Daily News.
It comes down to reality, and it's fine with me cause I've let it slide.
I don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside.
I don't have any reasons.
I left them all behind.
I'm in a New York state of mind.
Oh yeah.
It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythym and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, the Daily News.
Who, oh, oh whoa who.
It comes down to reality, and it's fine with me cause I've let it slide.
I don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside.
I don't have any reasons.
I left them all behind.
I'm in a New York state of mind.
I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line.
Cause I'm in a, I'm in a New York state of mind

ALWAYS THERE
When I'm less than I should be
When I just can't face the day
When darkness falls around me
And I just can't find my way
When my eyes don't clearly see
And I stumble through it all
You I lean upon, you keep me strong
And you rise me when I fall
(chorus)
You are there when I most need you
You are there so constantly
You come shining through, you always do
You are always there for me
When life brings me to my knees
When my back's against the wall
You are standing there right with me
Just to keep me standing tall
Though a burden I might be
You don't weary, you don't rest
You are reaching out to carry me
And I know I'm heaven-blest

YOU RAISE ME UP
Lyrics by Brendan Graham
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... to more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... to more than I can be.
There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
And I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... to more than I can be.
You raise me up... to more than I can be.

VA PENSIERO
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
perch 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!

NELLA FANTASIA
Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo giusto,
li tutti vivono in pace e in onesta.
lo sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere,
come le nuvole che volano,
pien' d'umanita in fondo all'anima.
Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo chiaro,
li anche la notte e meno oscura.
lo sogno d'anime, ecc.
Nella fantasia esiste un vento caldo,
che soffia sulle citta, come amico.
lo sogno d'anime, ecc.
TRANSLATION.
In my mind I imagine a world of justice,
where everyone lives peaceful and honest lives.
I dream of hearts that are always free,
free as the clouds in the sky,
full of a deep humanity.
In my mind I imagine a world of light,
where even the nights are not so dark.
I dream of hearts, etc.
In my mind there's a warm breeze that
breathes over the towns like a friend.
I dream of hearts, etc.

MUSIC OF THE NIGHT
Nightime sharpens, heightens each sensation.
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination.
Silently the senses abandon their defenses.
Slowly, gently, night unfurls it's splendor.
Grasp it, sense it tremulous and tender.
Turn your face away from the garish light of day.
Turn your thoughts away from cold unfeeling light, and listen to the music of the night.
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams, purge your thoughts of the life you knew before.
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar.
And you'll live, as you've never lived before.
Softly, deftly, music shall caresss you.
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you.
Open up your mind, let your fantisies unwind,
In this darkness that you know you cannot fight.
The darkness of the music of the night.
Let your mind start a journey to a strange new world, leave all thoughts of the life you knew before.
Let your soul take you where you long to be.
Only then can you belong to me.
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication.
Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation.
Let the dream begin,
Let your darker side give in, to the power of the music that I write.
The power of the music of the night.
You alone can make my song take flight.
Help me make the music of the night.

HAVE I TOLD YOU LATELY
Songwriters:Van Morrison,
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one above you?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away my sadness
Ease my troubles that's what you do
Oh, the morning sun in all it's glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
And you fill my life with laughter, you can make it better
Ease my troubles that's what you do
There's a love that's divine
And it's yours and it's mine
Like the sun at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray to the One
Say, have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one above you?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away my sadness
Ease my troubles that's what you do
Well, there's a love that's divine
And it's yours and it's mine
And it shines like the sun
At the end of the day
We will give thanks
And pray to the One
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness, take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
Take away my sadness
Fill my life with gladness
Ease my troubles that's what you do
Fill my life with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles that's what you do

CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE
Wise men say only fools rush in
but I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
some things are meant to be
take my hand, take my whole life too
for I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
some things are meant to be
take my hand, take my whole life too
for I can't help falling in love with you
for I can't help falling in love with you

LA CALIFFA
Tu non credere perche
Questa crudelta di padroni
Ha visto in me
Solo una cagna che
Mi mett' anch'
Io alla tua catena
Se attraverso la città
Questa ipocrita, tua città
Il corpo mio
Che passa tra di voi
E' un invettiva contro la viltà
Tu ritroverai con me
La più splendida proprietà
Un attimo di sole sopra noi
Alla ricerca di te
[English translation:]
Don't believe, because
The cruelty or proprietors
Has seen in me
Just a dog which
Puts itself at your chain
When I cross the city
This hypocrite, your city
My mind
Which passes through both of you
Is an insult at cowardice
You will find again
The most splendid possession
A moment of sun above us
In search of you

ME AND MRS JONES
Me and Mrs Jones, we got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it go now
We meet ev'ry day at the same cafe
Six-thirty I know she'll be there
Holding hands, making all kinds of plans
While the jukebox plays our favourite song
Me and Mrs, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones
We got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it go now
We gotta be extra careful
That we don't build our hopes too high
Cause she's got her own obligations and so do I
Me, me and Mrs, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones
Well, it's time for us to be leaving
And it hurts so much, it hurts so much inside
And now she'll go her way, I'll go mine
But tomorrow we'll meet at the same place, the same time
Me and Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones

GEORGIA
Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
Georgia, Georgia, a song of you
Comes as sweet and clean
As moonlight through the pines
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The roads leads back to you
Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find
Just and old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

LA FIAMMA SACRA
Ronan Hardiman composed the song 'La Fiamma Sacra' (The Sacred Flame) with lyrics by legendary lyricist Franks Musker .
'La Fiamma Sacra' was produced by Simon Franglen and is a stand out track on the album (AMORE MUSICA )-a dynamic powerful piece which tells the story of Watsons own rise to fame and fortune from humble beginnings.
...........................................................
Born with the voice of an angel
A boy with the earth on his hands
For this child of the lowly
Fate had made other plans
He was only a man of the people
With barely his clothes to his name
But when he sang - there was magic
Touched by love's sacred flame
La fiamma sacra
Chorus
Holy fire in his soul
Born to conquer the dark
A man who came – to carry the flame
Awakening – la fiamma sacra
He sang to the soul of a nation
A voice for the meek and the strong
A world of fabulous stories
Came to life in his song
With a gift for the whole of creation
He gave not for fortune or fame
A simple man – blessed with magic
Touched by love's sacred flame
La fiamma sacra
Chorus
Holy fire in his soul
Born to conquer the dark
A man who came – to carry the flame
With a voice that can speak – to the heart
Holy fire in his soul
Born to conquer the dark
A man who came – to carry the flame
Awakening – la fiamma sacra

NESSUN DORMA
Cosi comanda Turandot:
"Questa notte nessun dorma in
Pekino!"
Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma!
Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma!
Tu pure, o Principessa,
nella tua fredda stanza
guardi le stelle che tremano
d'amore e di speranza!
Ma il mio mistero e chiuso in me,
il nome mio nessun sapra!
No, no, sulla tua bocca Io diro,
quando la luce splendera!
Ed il mio bacio sciogliera
il silenzio che ti fa mia!
Il nome suo nessun sapra...
E noi dovrem, ahime! Morir! Morir!
Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincero!
Vincero! Vincero!

IL GLADIATORE
Sei venuta in sogno a me un dì lontano,
mi hai detto questo sarà il tuo futuro,
e giustizia sarà fatta per tua mano
contro un figlio spietato e corrotto.
Un comandante si ritroverà schiavo,
e uno schiavo diventerà un gladiatore.
E attraversando le terre e il dolore
sfiderà anche l'imperatore.
Morir per te
è il mio destino.
Roma la bella dea
per me ha deciso.
Nel silenzio ma con l'anima forte
sento che il tempo mi trascina alla morte.
Ho visto troppo scempio e il cuore mio langue.
Vendicherò i miei fratelli col sangue.
Questo prometto a te.
Morir per te...
Giuro per sempre a te
di viver, morire per te.
Se tu sarai con me lo so,
Dea Roma, vincerò.
E la vittoria sarà la mia.
Dea Roma, vincerò.
Io vincerò.
English Translation:
You came to me in a dream long ago,
and told me this would be your future,
that justice would be done by your hand
against a wicked, corrupt son.
A leader would find himself enslaved
and a slave would become a gladiator.
And throughout the land, despite his grief,
he would challenge even the emperor himself.
My destiny is
to die for you,
the lovely goddess Rome
has decreed it.
In silence but strong of spirit
I feel time dragging me towards death.
I have seen too much killing and my heart despairs.
I shall avenge my brothers with bloodshed.
I promise you this.
My destiny...
I swear an eternal vow to you
to live and die for you.
If you are with me, goddess Rome,
I know I shall win.
And victory will be mine.
I shall win, goddess Rome.
I shall win.
