TEMPTATION

You came,
I was alone,
I should have known
You were temptation!

You smiled,
Luring me on,
My heart was gone,
And you were temptation!

It would be thrilling if you were willing,
And if it can never be, pity me,
For you were born to be kissed,
I can't resist, you are temptation,
And I am yours!

Here is my heart!
Take it and say, that we'll never part!
I'm just a slave, only a slave
To you!

Temptation,
I'm your slave!

Lyrics: Arthur Freed.

CARUSO

Qui dove il mare luccica e tira forte il vento
Su una vecchia terrazza davanti al golfo di Surriento
Un uomo abbraccia una ragazza dopo che aveva pianto
Poi si schiarisce la voce e ricomincia il canto
Te voglio bene assale ma tanto bene sai
É una catena ormai che scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai.

Vide le luci in mezzo al mare pensó alle notti lá in America
Ma erano solo le lampare e la bianca scia di un'elica
Sentí il dolore nella musica si alzó dal pianoforte
Ma quando vide la luna uscire da un nuvola
Gli sembró piú dolce anche la morte
Guardó negli occhi la ragazza quegli occhi verdi come il mare
Poi all'improvviso uscí una lacrima e lui credette di affogare
Te voglio bene assaie ma tanto tanto bene sai
É una catena ormai che scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai.

Potenza della lircica dove ogni dramma é un falso
Che con un pó di trucco e con la mimica puoi diventare un altro
Ma due occhi che ti guardano cosí vicini e veri
Ti fan scordare le parole confondono i pensieri
Cosí diventa tutto piccolo anche le nottie lá in America
Ti volti e vedi la tua vita come lá scia di un'elica
Ma si é la vita che finisce ma lui non ci pensó poi tanto
Anzi si sentiva giá felice e ricominció il suo canto
Te voglio bene assaie ma tanto tanto bene sai
É una catena ormai che scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai
Te voglio bene assaie ma tanto tanto bene sai
É una catena ormai che scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai.


Music & Lyrics: Lucio Dalla

THAT'S AMORE

In Napoli where love is king,
When boy meets girl, here's what they sing:

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie,
That's amore.
When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine,
That's amore.

Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling,
And you'll sing "Vita bella".
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay,
Like a gay tarantella.

When the stars make you drool just like pasta e fazool,
That's amore.
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet,
You're in love.
When you walk in a dream but you know you're not dreaming, signore...
Scuzzi me, but you see, back in old Napoli
That's amore.

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie,
That's amore.
(That's amore)
When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine,
That's amore.
(That's amore)

Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling,
And you'll sing "Vita bella".
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay,
Like a gay tarantella.

When the stars make you drool just like pasta e fazool,
That's amore.
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet,
You're in love.
When you walk in a dream but you know you're not dreaming, signore...
Scuzzi me, but you see, back in old Napoli
That's amore.
(That's amore)
That's amore.

COME PRIMA (English)

Come Prima, Come Prima, I'm in love.
Come Prima, Come Prima, I found love.
From the moment I saw you, I was enraptured.
Every moment after that, I live in the clouds.

Come Prima, Come Prima, I can thrill.
Come Prima, I love you and always will.
You're the first one, yes, the first one.
You're my one and only one.
Come Prima, Come Prima, I'm in love.

For the first time, for the first time, I'm in love.
For the first time, for the first time, I found happiness.
From the moment I saw you, I was enraptured.
Every moment after that, I live in the clouds.

For the first time, yes, the first time, I can thrill.
For the first time, I love you and always will.
You're the first one, yes, the first one.
You're my one and only one.
For the first time, for the first time, I'm in love.

Come Prima, Come Prima, I can thrill.
Come Prima, I love you and always will.
You're the first one, yes, the first one.
You're my one and only one.
Come Prima, for the first time, I'm in love.

PARLA PIU PIANO (Speak Softly, Love)

Parla più piano e nessuno sentirà,

Il nostro amore lo viviamo io e te,

Nessuno sa la verità

Neppure il cielo che ci guarda da lassù.

Insieme a te io resterò,

Amore mio, sempre così.

Parla più piano e vieni più vicino a me

Voglio sentire gli occhi miei dentro di te,

Nessuno sa la verità
È un grande amore e mai più grande esisterà.

Insieme a te io resterò,
Amore mio, sempre così.

Parla più piano e vieni più vicino a me

Voglio sentire gli occhi miei dentro di te,

Nessuno sa la verità
È un grande amore e mai più grande esisterà.

È un grande amore e mai più grande esisterà.


Music: Nino Rota.
Lyrics: Gianni Boncompagni.

SPEAK SOFTLY LOVE

Speak softly, love,
And hold me warm against your heart.
I feel your words
The tender trembling moments start.
We're in a world, our very own
Sharing a love that only few have ever known.

Wine-colored days warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights when we are one.

Speak softly, love,
So no one hears us but the sky.
The vows of love
We make will live until we die.
My life is yours and all because
You came into my world with love so softly, love.

Wine-colored days warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights when we are one.

Speak softly, love,
So no one hears us but the sky.
The vows of love
We make will live until we die.
My life is yours and all because
You came into my world with love so softly, love.


Music: Nino Rota.
Lyrics: Larry Kusik.

MACARTHUR PARK

Spring was never waiting for us, girl...
It ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance...
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot fevered iron like a striped pair of pants.

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark,
All the sweet green icing flowing down.
Someone left the cake out in the rain.
But I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it,
And I'll never have that recipe again.
Oh, no!

I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave on the ground around your knees.
And birds like tender babies in your hands,
The old men playing checkers on a table by the trees.

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark,
All the sweet green icing flowing down.
Someone left the cake out in the rain.
But I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it,
And I'll never have that recipe again.
Oh, no!

There will be another song for me for I will sing it.
There will be another dream for me, someone will bring it.
I will taste the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking in the sun.
But after all the loves of my life...after all the loves of my life
You'll still be the one.

I will take my life into my hands and I will use it.
I will win the worship in your eyes and I will lose it.
And my passions flow like rivers from the sky.
But after all the loves of my life...after all the loves of my life
I'll still be wondering why.

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark,
All the sweet green icing flowing down.
Someone left the cake out in the rain.
But I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it,
And I'll never have that recipe again.
Oh, no!

Music and Lyrics by Jimmy Webb.

MORE (Theme from "Mondo Cane")

More than the greatest love the world has known,
This is the love I give to you alone.
More than the simple words I try to say...
I only live to love you more each day.

More than you'll ever know.
My arms long to hold you so.
My life will be in your keeping...
Waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping.

Longer than always is a long, long time.
But far beyond forever you'll be mine.
I know I've never lived before
And my heart is very sure,
No one else could love you more.

     [Musical interlude]

More than you'll ever know.
My arms long to hold you so.
My life will be in your keeping...
Waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping.

Longer than always is a long, long time.
But far beyond forever you'll be mine.
I know I've never lived before
And my heart is very sure,
No one else could love you more.
No one else could love you more.


Music: Riz Ortolani, Nino Oliviero. Lyrics: Norman Newell.

WHY NOT TONIGHT?

Well, pardon me, but you've had my attention
Ever since you strolled into the room.
Believe me that it's not my intention
If I appear to come on too smooth.

It's not like me to make such advances
But this time, baby, I could not resist.
So if you're up for taking a chance on love,
I can't see a better time than this.

So, baby, why not tonight?
This could be the start of something right.
We can take it easy,
We can take it slow,
We can take it anywhere that you'd like to go.
So, baby, why not tonight?
The stars are out and I'm sure they'll agree.
Oh, it's a perfect night for falling in love.
So, why not fall in love with me?

Maybe we could go out for some dinner
And later on then we could do the town.
You know I consider myself a winner
Just to have a gal like you around.

Then if you're up for doing some dancing,
I know a place where they dance until the dawn.
Anything you like will be alright
So why not take a chance and come along.

So, baby, why not tonight?
This could be the start of something right.
We can take it easy,
We can take it slow,
We can take it anywhere that you'd like to go.
So, baby, why not tonight?
The stars are out and I'm sure they'll agree.
Oh, it's a perfect night for falling in love.
So, why not fall in love with me?

Why not fall in love, why not fall in love,
Baby, why not fall in love with me?

A MAN WITHOUT LOVE

I can remember when we walked together
Sharing a love I thought would last forever
Moonlight to show the way so we can follow
Waiting inside her eyes was my tomorrow.

Then something changed her mind, her kisses told me
I had no loving arms to hold me.

Every day I wake up then I start to break up
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I start out then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love.

Every day I wake up then I start to break up
Knowing that it's cloudy above
Every day I start out then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love.

I cannot face this world that's fallen down on me
So if you see my girl please send her home to me
Tell her about my heart that's slowly dying
Say I can't stop myself from crying...

Every day I wake up then I start to break up
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I start out then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love.

Every day I wake up then I start to break up
Knowing that it's cloudy above
Every day I start out then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love.

Every day I wake up then I start to break up
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I start out then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love.

QUANDO M'INNAMORO (A Man Without Love)

Dicono che non so trovare un fiore
  e che non ho mai niente da regalare.
Dicono che c'e un chiodo dentro il mio cuore
  e che per questo non può palpitare.

Ma il ragazzo sa che non è vero,
  il mio ragazzo sa che quando...

Quando m'innamoro
  io do tutto il bene
  a chi è innamorato di me
e non c'è nessuno
  che mi può cambiare
  che mi può staccare da lui.

È dall'amore che nasce la vita,
  e la mia vita io la dò all'amore.
A chi mi dice: "Vivi un altro giorno"
  io gli rispondo che, che quando...

Quando m'innamoro
  io do tutto il bene
  a chi è innamorato di me
e non c'è nessuno
  che mi può cambiare
  che mi può staccare da lui.

Quando m'innamoro
  io do tutto il bene
  a chi è innamorato di me
e non c'è nessuno
  che mi può cambiare
  che mi può staccare da lui.
