Siúil A Rún - Orla Fallon

Listen

I wish I was on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill
Until every tear would turn a mill

I'll sell my rod, I'll sell my reel
I'll sell my only spinning wheel
To buy my love a sword of steel

Siuil, siuil, siuil a ruin
Siuil go sochair agus siuil go ciuin
Siuil go doras agus ealaigh liom
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan

I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red
And "round the world I'll beg my bread
Until my parents shall wish me dead

Siuil, siuil, siuil a ruin
Siuil go sochair agus siuil go ciuin
Siuil go doras agus ealaigh liom
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan

I wish I wish I wish in vain
I wish I had my heart again
And then you'd think I'd not complain

Siuil, siuil, siuil a ruin
Siuil go sochair agus siuil go ciuin
Siuil go doras agus ealaigh liom

Siuil, siuil, siuil a ruin
Siuil go sochair agus siuil go ciuin
Siuil go doras agus ealaigh liom
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan

Nocturne - Secret Garden

Listen

Now, let the day
Just slip away
So the dark night may watch over you
Velvet, blue
Silent, true
It embraces your heart and your soul
Nocturne

Never cry - never sigh
You don't have to wonder why
Always be - always see
Come and dream the night with me
Nocturne

Have no fear
When the night draws near
And fills you with dreams and desire
Like a child asleep
So warm, so deep
You will find me there waiting for you
Nocturne

We will fly - claim the sky
We don't have to wonder why
Always see - always be
Come and dream the night with me
Nocturne

Though darkness lay
It will give way
When the dark night delivers the day
Nocturne

Sigma - Secret Garden

Listen

Bim ar thoir an comhartha
Scaoileas m'anam saor
Caithfidh mo chroi a bheith glan
Roimh siochan theacht chum

Ni leanfaidh mo Bhrón
Is béim sasta le mo ghra
Guim comhartha chabhreoidh liom
Mé a chomhlionadh

Bim ar thoir an comhartha
Scaoileas m'anam saor
Caithfidh mo chroi a bheith glan
Roimh siochan theacht chum

Si an ghaoth do ghuth
Si an bhaisteach do dheora
Grian, do chroi ar las
Do spiorad mo shlanu

English Translation:
I search for the sign
That will set my soul free
My heart must be pure
So that I can find peace

My grief cannot last forever
My love will be fulfilled
I pray a sign will help me
Be all that I can be

I search for the sign
That will set my soul free
My soul must be pure
So that I can find peace

The wind is your voice
The rain is your tears
You burning heart
And spirit is my salvation

Listen With Your Heart - Linda Hunt (Pocahontas)

Listen

Que que na-to-ra
You will understand
Listen with your heart
You will understand
Let it break upon you
Like a wave upon the sand

Listen with your heart
You will understand
Let it break upon you
Like a wave upon the sand
Listen with your heart
You will understand

Stay Awake - Julie Andrews (Mary Poppins)

Listen

Stay awake, don't rest your head
Don't lie down upon your bed
While the moon drifts in the skies
Stay awake, don't close your eyes

Though the world is fast asleep
Though your pillow's soft and deep
You're not sleepy as you seem
Stay awake, don't nod and dream
Stay awake, don't nod and dream

As Time Goes By - Louis Armstrong (Casablanca)

Listen

You must remember this
A kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh.
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.

And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you."
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date.
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate.
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny.

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die.
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.

Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.

The Voice - Eimear Quinn

Listen
I hear your voice on the wind
And I hear you call out my name

"Listen my child" you say to me
"I am the voice of your history"
"Be not afraid, come follow me"
"Answer my call and I'll set you free"

I am the voice in the wind and the pouring rain
I am the voice of your hunger and pain
I am the voice that always is calling you
I am the voice, I will remain

I am the voice in the fields when the summer's gone
The dance of the leaves when the autumn winds blow
Now do I sleep throughout all the cold winter long
I am the force that in springtime will grow

I am the voice of the past that will always be
Filled with my sorrows and blood in my fields
I am the voice of the future
Bring me your peace
Bring me your peace and my wounds, they will heal

I am the voice in the wind and the pouring rain
I am the voice of your hunger and pain
I am the voice that always is calling you
I am the voice

I am the voice of the past that will always be
I am the voice of your hunger and pain
I am the voice of the future
I am the voice
I am the voice
I am the voice
I am the voice

Flame Trees - The Sacred Heart School (Little Fish)

Listen

Kids out driving Saturday afternoon just pass me by
I'm just savouring familiar sights
We share some history, this town and I
And I can't stop that long forgotten feeling of her
Try to book a room to stay tonight

Number one is to find some friends to say "You're doing well
After all this time you boys look just the same"
Number two is the happy hour at one of two hotels
Settle in to play "Do you remember so and so?"
Number three is never say her name

Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver
And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
There's no change, there's no pace
Everything within its place
Just makes it harder to believe she won't be around

Who needs that sentimental bullshit, anyway
Takes more than just a memory to make me cry
I'm happy just to sit at a table with old friends
And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies

There's a girl falling in love where the pianola stands
With her young factory out-of-worker, just holding hands
And I'm wondering if he'll go or if he'll stay

Do you remember, nothing stopped us on the field
In our day

Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver
And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
There's no change, there's no pace
Everything within its place
Just makes it harder to believe she won't be around

Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver
And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
There's no change, there's no pace
Everything within its place
Just makes it harder to believe she won't be around

Imagine - John Lennon

Listen

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Donne-moi le temps - Jenifer

Listen

Tellement de gens veulent
Tellement être aimés
Pour se donner peuvent
Tout abandonner
Tellement d'erreurs qu'on
Pourrait s'éviter
Si l'on savait juste un peu patienter

Donne-moi le temps
D'apprendre ce qu'il faut apprende
Donne-moi le temps
D'avancer comme je le ressens
Y'a pas d'amour au hasard
Ou qui arrive trop tard
J'apprendrai le temps d'attendre

Tellement de reves qui
Se trouvent gâchés
À vivre tout, juste pour s'évader
Est-ce que nos peurs valent
À ce point la peine
Pour exiger aussi peu de nous-memes ?

Donne-moi le temps
D'apprendre ce qu'il faut apprende
Donne-moi le temps
D'avancer comme je le ressens
Y'a pas d'amour sans patience
D'histoire sans y croire, pas d'amour sans le vouloir
Si je sais que tu m'attends

Donne-moi le temps
D'apprendre ce qu'il faut apprende
Donne-moi le temps
D'avancer comme je le ressens
Y'a pas d'amour au hasard
Ni de rencontre trop tard
Mais sois patient, quand je me donne c'est vraiment
J'apprendrai le temps d'attendre

Tu auras le temps
De prendre ce que tu veux prendre
Tu auras le temps de nous faire avancer ensemble
Tant de gens se cherchent
Se désirent, se suivent et se perdent
Donnons nous la peine
De se découvrir, se connaître
Je ne laisserai pas l'amour au hasard
Ni qu'il soit trop tard
Si la patience s'apprend
J'apprendrai ce qu'est attendre

Je prends le temps
Pour que tu m'attendes
Le temps
Pour toi

Shenandoah - Hayley Westenra

Listen

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, you rolling river
O Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away I'm bound to go
'Cross the wide Missouri

'Tis seven long years since I last saw you
Away, you rolling river
'Tis seven long years since I last saw you
Away I'm bound to go
'Cross the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you
Away, you rolling river
O Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you
Away I'm bound to go
'Cross the wide Missouri

Once Upon a December - Liz Callaway (Anastasia)

Listen

Dancing bears
Painted wings
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December

Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory

Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory

Far away, long ago
Growing dim as an amber
Things my heart used to know
Things it yearns to remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December

I'm Dreaming of Home - Philippe Rombi (Joyeux Nöel)

Listen

I hear the mountain birds
The sound of river singing
A song I've often heard
It flows through me now
So clear and so loud
I stand where I am
And forever I'm dreaming of home,
I feel so alone,
I'm dreaming of home

It's carried in the air
The breeze of early morning
I see the land so fair
my heart opens wide
there's sadness inside
I stand where I am
And forever I'm dreaming of home,
I feel so alone,
I'm dreaming of home

I see no foreign sky
I see no foreign light
But far away I am
From some peaceful land
I'm longing to stand
A hand in my hand
And forever I'm dreaming of home,
I feel so alone,
I'm dreaming of home

Marie Marie - Marlene Dietrich

Listen

À Pâques ou à la mi-carême
Quand je serai libérée
Lorsque j'aurai fini ma peine
Ah que j'irai t'embrasser
Dans notre jardin d'Angleterre
Les roses ont dû refleurir
Si tu en portais à ma mère
Ça me ferait bien plaisir

Marie, Marie
Ècris donc plus souvent
Marie, Marie
Au quatorze mille deux cents

J'travaille à la bibliothèque
Je m'invente du bon temps
J'ai pour amis tous les poètes
Beaudelaire, Châteaubriand
Pour nous ici quoi qu'on en pense
On est vraiment très gentil
Il y a les desserts le dimanche
Et le poisson le vendredi

Marie, Marie
Ècris donc plus souvent
Marie, Marie
Au quatorze mille deux cents

A Pâques ou à la mi-carême
Il reviendra bien le temps
Où tu pourras dire je t'aime
Au quatorze mille deux cents

Take Me With You - Lynn Hilary

Listen

Help a butterfly dancing in the summer breeze
Come with me now come to the river
Snow white hands circle on the silver water
Run with me now run to the ocean
Can you take me where you go
To the place where fairy tales are real
Where the sky is never ending
Where we sail above the clouds
Can you take me where you go
To that wonderland only you can see
I have wished on falling stars
I have kept the dream alive
For you
Only you

Winter closes up her cloak
And shelters children who are lost
Save me with your melody
And fly me away
Can you take me where you go
To the place where fairy tales are real
Where the sky is never ending
Where we sail above the clouds
Can you take me where you go
To that wonderland only you can see
I have wished on falling stars
I have kept the dream alive
For you

Can you take me where you go
To the place where fairy tales are real
Where the sky is never ending
Where we sail above the clouds
Can you take me where you go
To that wonderland only you can see
I have wished on falling stars
I have kept the dream alive
For you
For you
Take me with you

One I Love - Méav

Listen

One I love
Two she loves
Three she's true to me
All of my friends fell out with me
Because I kept your company
But let them say whatever they will
I love my love with a free good will

One I love
Two she loves
And three she's true to me
They tell me he's poor
They tell me he's young
I tell them not to hold to hold their tongue
If they could part the sand from the sea
They never could part my love from me

One I love
Two she loves
Three she's true to me
When I'm awake I find no rest
Until his head lies on my breast
When I'm asleep I'm dreaming of
My own, my dear, my one true love

One I love
Two she loves
Three she's true to me
When the fire to ice will run
And when the tide no longer turns
And when the rocks melt with the sun
My love for you will have just begun

One I love
Two she loves
Three she's true to me

One I love
Two she loves
And three she's true to me

O America - Celtic Woman

Listen

O America you're calling
I can hear you calling me
You are calling me
To be true to thee
True to thee I will be

O America you're weeping
Let me heal your wounded heart
I will keep you in my keeping
'Til there be a new start

And I wil answer you
And I will take your hand
And lead you to the sun
And I will stand by you
Do all that I can do
And we will be as one

O America I hear you
From your prairies to the sea
From the mountains grand
And all through this land
You are beautiful to me
And O America you're calling
I can hear you calling me
You are calling me
To be true to thee
True to thee I will be

And I will answer you (and I will answer you)
And I will take your hand (and I will take your hand)
And lead you to the sun
And I will stand by you
Do all that I can do
And we will be as one

O America you're calling
I will ever answer thee

Melody of Life - Lynn Hilary

Listen

Every star that burst pride
Whispers in the dark night
Sailing through the mystic sky
Every morning spellbound
Echoes back a sweet sound
Rising to the great divide
When we were young and carefree
Running through the cornfields
Barefeet in the clear blue stream
We were dancing, dancing to the melody of life

Take my hand and follow
Every step so softly
Just before the dawn arrives
Close your eyes and listen
Let the air surround you
Try to leave this world behind
When we were young and carefree
Running through the cornfields
Barefeet in the clear blue stream
When we were young and dreaming
Climbing in the tall trees
Swaying in the summer breeze
We were dancing, dancing to the melody of life

And when we were young and dreaming
Climbing in the tall trees
Swaying in the summer breeze
We were dancing, dancing to the melody of life
We were dancing, dancing to the melody of life
Still dancing...
Dancing to the melody of life
Dancing...
