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…

But Not For Me
Music by George Gershwin
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!

Please
Music by Ralph Rainger
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

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?]

Music by Jerome Kern
Lyrics by Otto Harbach
From the 1933 Broadway Musical “Roberta”

[Instrumental: ]

They asked me how I knew / my true love was true /
I of course re-plied / some-thing here in-side /
can-not be de-ni-i-ed /

They said some-day you’ll find / all who love are blind /
When your heart’s on fire / you must re-a-lize /
Smoke gets in your eyes /

[ ]

So I chaf-fed and then I gail-y laughed /
To think that they could doubt my love /
Yet to-day / my love has flown away /
I am with-out / my love /

Now laugh-ing friends de-ride / tears I can-not hide /
So / I smile and say / when a love-ly flame dies /
Smoke gets in your eyes /

Amore e morte (Love and Death)
Music by Giovanni Antonio Luigi Redaelli (1785-1815)

Odi di un uom che muore,
Hear the words of a dying man,
odi l’estremo suon:
hear the last sound:
quest’appassito fiore
this faded flower
ti lascio, Elvira, in don.
I leave to you, Elvira.
Quanto prezioso ei sia
How precious it is
tu dei saperlo appien;
you must know:
nel dì che fosti mia
the day you became mine,
te lo involai dal sen.
I stole it from your bosom.
Simbolo allor d’affetto,
Then a symbol of affection,
or pegno di dolor;
now it is a pledge of sorrow:
torna a posarti in petto
put back on your breast
questo appassito fior.
this faded flower.
E avrai nel cor scolpito,
And you will have engraved on your heart,
se duro il cor non è,
if your heart is not hard,
come ti fu rapito,
not as it was stolen from you,
come ritorna a te.
but as returned to you.

Amore e Morte Phrasing

Simbolo allor d’affetto,
or pegno di dolor;

questo appassito fior.

E avrai nel cor scolpito,
se duro il cor non è,
come ti fu rapito,
come ritorna a te.

Als die alte Mutter mich noch lehrte singen,

Jetzt, wo ich die Kleinen selber üb im Sange,
Now that I’m the little ones themselves üb in Sange,
rieselt’s in den Bart oft,
Bart’s trickling into the often
rieselt’s oft von der braunen Wange.

Music by Stefano Donaudy
Lyrics by Alberto Donaudy

Quando ti rivedrò,
When shall I see you again,
infida amante che mi fosti sì cara?
Unfaithful lover, who were so dear to me?
Tante lagrime ho piante
So many tears I have wept
or che altrui ci separa,
Now that another separates us,
che temo sia fuggita ogni gioia
That I fear that may be fled
per sempre di mia vita.
Every joy forever from my life.
Eppur più mi dispero,
And yet the more I despair,
più ritorno a sperare.
The more I return to hoping.
Più t’odio nel pensiero
The more I hate you in my mind,
e più ancora l’anima mia ti torna ad amar.
The more my soul turns again to loving you.

Quando ti rivedrò,
When shall I see you again,
infida amante che mi fosti cara così?
Unfaithful lover, who were so dear to me?
