Io Che Non Vio (Senza Te)
Written by Pino Donaggio and Vito Pallavicini
Siamo Qui noi soli
Come ogni sera
Ma tu sei più triste
E io lo sò perchè
So che tu vuoi dirmi
Che non sei felice
Che io sto cambiando
E tu mi vuoi laciare
Io che non vivo più di un’ora senza te
Come posso stare una vita senza te
Sei mia, sei mia, mai niente lo sai
Separarci un giorno potrai
Vieni Qui ascoltami
Che io ti voglio bene
Te ne prego fermati
Ancora insieme a me
Io che non vivo più di un’ora senza te
Come posso stare una vita senza te
Sei mia, sei mia,s ei mia
Io che non vivo più di un’ora senza te
Come posso stare una vita senza te
Sei mia, sei mia, sei mia.
You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me
English Lyrics by Vicki Wickham and Simon Napier-Bell
When I said / I nee-ded you /
You said / you would al-ways stay /
It was-n’t me / who chan-ged / but you /
And now you’ve gone / a-a-way /
Don’t you see / that now you’ve gone /
And I’m left here / on my own /
That I have to fo-llow you /
And be-eg you / to come home /
You don’t have to say you love me /
Just be / close at hand /
You don’t have to stay for-ever /
I will un-der-stand /
Be-lieve me / be-lieve me /
I can’t help / but love you /
But be-lieve me /
I’ll ne-ver tie you down /
Left a-lone with just / a me-mo-ry /
Life seems dead / and so un-real /
All that’s left / is lone-li-ness /
There’s no-thing / left to feel /
You don’t have to say you love me /
Just be close at hand /
You don’t have to stay for-ever /
I will un-der-stand /
Be-lieve me! / be-lieve me! /
You don’t have to say you love me! /
Just be close at hand /
You don’t have to stay for-ever /
I will un-der-stand /
Be-lieve me! / oh be-lieve me! / be-lieve me!

Passione
Music and Original Italian Lyrics by Libero Bovio, Ernesto Tagliaferri, and Nicola Valente
English Translation by Maria Radkova
Cchiù luntano me staje,
The further from me you are
Cchiù vicino te sento…
The closer to you I feel
Chi sa a chistu mumento
Who knows in this moment
Tu a che pienze… che ffaie!…
what youre thinking, what youre doing!
Tu m’hé miso ‘int ‘e vvene
Youve poured into my veins
Nu veleno ch’ è ddoce…
a sweet poison
Num me pesa sta croce
How heavy is this cross
Ca trascino pe’ te…
that I bear for you!
Te voglio… te penso… te chiammo…
I want you, I think of you, I call you
Te veco… te sento… te sonno…
I see you, I hear you, I dream of you
E n’anno ‘Nce pienze ca è n’anno
Just think its been a year, a whole year
Ca st’uocchie nun ponno Cchiù pace truvàl…
that these eyes have known no peace!
E cammino… e cammino…
And I walk and walk
Ma nun saccio addò vaco…
But I don’t know where I’m going…
I’sto sempre ‘mbriaco
I’m always drunk
E nun bevo mai vino
though I never drink wine…
Aggio fatto nu vuto
I’ve made a vow
A’ Madonna d’ ‘a Neve
to Our Lady of the Snow
Si me passa ’sta freve
that if this fever passes
Oro e perle lle dò…
I’ll offer her gold and pearls…

L’Hymne à l’Amour
Music by Marguerite Monnot
Lyrics by Édith Piaf
1949
Le ciel bleu sur nous peut s’effondrer
The blue sky can collapse on us
Et la terre peut bien s’écrouler
And the earth fall to ruins,
Peu m’importe si tu m’aimes
I don’t care, as long as you love me.
Je me fous du monde entier
I don’t care a damn about the world!
Tant qu’l'amour inond’ra mes matins
As long as love lights my mornings,
Tant que mon corps frémira sous tes mains
As long as my body trembles under your hands
Peu m’importent les problèmes
I care little about problems;
Mon amour puisque tu m’aimes
My love since you love me.
J’irais jusqu’au bout du monde
I would go to the end of the world,
Je me ferais teindre en blonde
I would have my hair died blond
Si tu me le demandais
If you asked me.
J’irais décrocher la lune
I would go and unhook the moon;
J’irais voler la fortune
I would go and steal a fortune
Si tu me le demandais
If you asked me.
Je renierais ma patrie
I would reject my country,
Je renierais mes amis
I would reject all my friends
Si tu me le demandais
if you asked me.
On peut bien rire de moi
People can laugh at me;
Je ferais n’importe quoi
I would do anything,
Si tu me le demandais
If you asked me.
Si un jour la vie t’arrache à moi
If one day life tears you away from me,
Si tu meurs que tu sois loin de moi
If you die whilst away from me,
Peu m’importe si tu m’aimes
I don’t care as long as you love me.
Car moi je mourrai aussi
Because I will die too,
Nous aurons pour nous l’éternité
We will have eternity all to us.
Dans le bleu de toute l’immensité
In the blue all immensity,
Dans le ciel plus de problèmes
In heaven no more problems,
Mon amour crois-tu qu’on s’aime
My love, do you believe we love each other,
Dieu réunit ceux qui s’aiment
As God reunites those that love one another.
L’hymne à l’Amour Phrasing
Le ciel bleu sur nous peut s’effondrer
Et la terre peut bien s’écrouler
Peu m’importe si tu m’aimes
Je me fous du monde entier
Tant qu’l'amour inond’ra mes matins

Peu m’importent les problèmes

English Lyrics by Geoffrey Parsons
1952
[Instrumental: ]
If the sun / should tum-ble from the sky /
If the sea / should sud-den-ly run dry /
If you lo-o-o-ove me / real-ly love me /
Let it hap-pen / I won’t ca-are /
If it seems / that eve-ry-thing is lost /
I will smile / and ne-ver count the cost /
If you lo-o-o-ove me / real-ly love me /
Let it hap-pen / dar-ling I-I-I-I / won’t ca-are /
Shall I catch a shoo-ting star /
Shall I bring it where you are /
If you want me to I will /
You can set me any task /
I’ll do any-thing you ask /
If you’ll on-ly say you love me still /
When at last / our life on earth is through /
I will share / e-ter-ni-ty with you /
If you lo-o-o-ove me / real-ly love me /
Let it hap-pen / I won’t care /
If you lo-o-o-ove me / real-ly love me /
Let it hap-pen / dar-ling I-I-I-I / won’t care!

Lyrics by Ira Gershwin
[Instrumental: ]
Old man sun-shine list-en you /
Ne-ver tell me dreams come true /
Just try it / and I’ll start a riot /
Be-a-trice Fair-fax don’t you dare /
e-ver tell me he will care /
I’m cer-tain / it’s the fi-nal cur-tain /
I ne-ver want to hear from any cheer-ful Pol-ly-an-nas /
who tell you fate / sup-plies a mate /
It’s all ba-na-nas /
They’re wri-ting songs of love / but not for me /
A luc-ky star’s a-bove / but not for me /
With love to lead the way / I’ve found more skies of gray /
than any Rus-sian play could gua-ran-tee /
I was a fool to fall / and get that way /
Hey ho / alas / and also / lac-ka-day /
Al-though I can’t dis-miss / the mem-’ry of his kiss /
I guess he’s not for me /
He’s knocking on a door / but not for me /
He’ll plan a two by four / but not for me /
I know that love’s a game / I’m puzzled / just the same /
was I the moth or flame / I’m all at sea /
It star-ted off so well / this let’s pre-tend /
It all be-gan so well / but what an end /
The cli-max of a plot / should be the marr-iage knot /
But there’s no knot for me!

Lyrics by Leo Robin
Oh / Please /
Lend your little ear to my pleas /
Lend a ray of cheer to my pleas /
Tell me that you love me too /
Please /
Let me hold you tight in my arms /
I could find de-light in your charms /
E-very night my whole life through /
Your eyes re-veal that you have the soul of /
An an-gel white as snow /
How long must I play the role of /
A gloo-my Ro-me-o /
Oh / Please /
Say you’re not in-ten-ding to please /
Speed that hap-py en-ding and please /
Tell me that you love me too /
Your eyes reveal that you have the soul of /
An an-gel white as snow /
How long must I play the role of /
A gloo-my Ro-me-o /
Oh / please /
Say you’re not in-ten-ding to tease /
Speed that hap-py en-ding and please /
Tell me that you love me too

[Prelude, no longer sung:
Lovely interlude / most romantic mood /

Sweetheart / you have me under a spell /
Now my dream is real / that is why I feel /
such a strong appeal tonight /
Somehow / all my reason takes flight / dear /]

We’ve put our hearts / to-ge-ther /
Now we are one / I’m not a-fraid /

Isn’t It Romantic?
Music by Richard Rodgers
Lyrics by Lorenz Hart
From the 1932 Film, “Love me Tonight”
[Instrumental: ]
[Optional Prologue:
I've ne-ver met you / yet ne-ver doubt dear /
I can't for-get you / I've thought you out dear /
I know your pro-file and I know the way you kiss /
just the things I miss / on a night like this /
If dreams are made of / i-ma-gi-na-tion
I'm not a-fraid of / my own cre-a-tion /
With all my heart / my heart is here for you to take /
Why should I quake / I'm not awake /]
Is-n’t it ro-man-tic /
Mu-sic in the night / a dream that can be heard /
Is-n’t it ro-man-tic /
Mo-ving sha-dows write the ol-dest ma-gic word /
I hear the bree-zes play-ing in the trees a-bove /
while all the world is say-ing you were meant for love /
Is-n’t it ro-man-tic /
mere-ly to be young on such a night as this /
Is-n’t it ro-man-tic /
Every note that’s sung is like a lo-ver’s kiss /
Sweet sym-bols in the moon-light /
do you mean that I will fall in love per chance /
Is-n’t it ro-mance /
[Optional Second and Third Verses:
My face is glowing, I'm energetic.
The art of sewing I found poetic.
My needle punctuates the rhythm of romance.
I don't give a stitch if I don't get rich.
A custom tailor who has no custom
is like a sailor, no one will trust 'em.
But there is magic in the music of my shears.
I shed no tears, lend me your ears.
Isn't it romantic?
Soon I will have found some girl that I adore.
Isn't it romantic?
While I sit around my love can scrub the floor.
She'll kiss me every hour or she'll get the sack
and when I take a shower she can scrub my back.
Isn't it romantic?
On a moonlight night she'll cook me onion soup.
Kiddies are romantic
and if we don't fight we soon will have a troupe.
We'll help the population,
it's a duty that we owe to dear old France.
Isn't it romance?]

Dicitencello ‘a ’sta cumpagna vosta
Just tell her that her admirer
ch’aggio perduto ‘o suonno e ‘a fantasia
is lost in dreams and imagination
ca’ ‘a penzo sempe, che’ é tutt’ ‘a vita mia
and thinks of her always, all my life
‘I’ nce ‘o vulesse dicere, ma nun ‘nce ‘o saccio di!
I’ve wanted to tell her, but don’t know how to say it!
‘A voglio bbene, ‘a voglio bbene assaie,
I want her so much, I want her so very much
Dicitencello vuie, ca nun m’ ‘a scordo maie!
Tell her that I’ll never forget her!
E’ ‘na passiona, cchiù forte ‘e na catena,
The passion I feel, is stronger than a chain
ca me turmenta ll’anema, e nun me fa campá.
that torments my soul, and makes me not want to live.
Dicitencello ch’ è na rosa ‘e maggio.
Just tell her she’s like roses in May,
ch’è assaje cchiù bella ‘e ‘na jurnata ‘e sole…
that she is more beautiful than a sunny day…
D”a vocca soia, cchiù fresca d”e vviole…
From her lips that are fresher than violets
I’ già vulesse sentere, ch’ è nnammurata ‘e me!
I just want to hear, that she’s in love with me!
‘Na lacrema lucente v’ ‘è caduta…
I see glistening tears falling
Diciteme ‘nu poco a che penzate…
Tell me a little of what your thinking…
Cu’ st’ uocchie doce vuie sola me guardate…
Your sweet eyes look right through me
Levámmece ’sta maschera, dicimmo ‘a veritá.
So now I must raise this mask, and tell the truth.
Te voglio bbene, te voglio bbene assaie
I want you so much, I want you so very much
si’ ttu chesta catena ca nun se spezza maie!
This bond between us will never break!
Suonno gentile, suspiro mio carnale
Sweet dreams … My hopes and desires
te cerco comm’ all’ aria, te voglio pe’ campá!
look for you in the air and I want you to live forever!

ca me tur-men-ta ll’a-ne-ma / e nun me fa / cam-pá-á-á /
[Instrumental: A' vo-glio bbe-ne / a' vo-glio bbe-ne /
e nun me fa cam-pá / e nun me fa cam-pá /]
‘Na la-cre-ma lu-cen-te v’ ‘è ca-du-ta /
Di-ci-te-me ‘nu po-co a che pen-za-te /
Cu’ st’u o-cchie do-ce / vuje so-la me guar-da-te /
Le-vam-me-ce ’sta / mas-che-ra / di-cim-mo ‘a ve-ri-tá /
[ Da da da dum ]
Te vo-glio bbe-ne / te vo-glio bbe-ne a-ssa-ie /
si’ ttu che-sta ca-te-na / ca nun se spez-za ma-ie /
Suo-nno gen-ti-le / su-spi-ro mio car-na-le /
te cer-co com-m’ ‘a-ll’ a-ri-a / te vo-glio pe’! / cam-pá-á-á!
