Bouna Sera

Buona sera signorina buona sera
It is time to say goodnight to Napoli
Though it’s hard for us to whisper buona sera
With that old moon above the Mediterranean sea

In the morning signorina we’ll go walking
Where the mountains help the moon come in to sight
And by the little jewelry shop we’ll stop and linger
While I buy a wedding ring for your finger
In the meantime let me tell you that I love you
Buona sera signorina kiss me goodnight
Buona sera signorina kiss me goodnight

(Buona sera signorina buona sera)
(It is time to say goodnight to Napoli)
Though it’s hard for us to whisper buona sera
With that old moon above the Mediterranean sea

Blueberry Hill

I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill when I found you
The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill
And lingered until my dreams came true

The wind in the willow played
Love’s sweet melody
But all of those vows we made
Were never to be

Though we’re apart, you’re part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill

——- Louis Armstrong Extra ———

Come climb the hill with me, baby
(On Blueberry Hill) We’ll see what we shall see
(On Blueberry Hill) I’ll bring my horn with me
(When I found you) I’ll be wit‘ you where berries are blue

(The moon stood still) Each afternoon we’ll go
(On Blueberry Hill) Higher than the moon we’ll go
(And lingered until) Then, to a weddin‘ in June we’ll go
(My dreams came true) Ba-ba-da-de-buzz-buzz va-de-n-da-day

The wind in the willow played (do you really love me)
Love’s sweet melody (as I love you?)
But all of those vows we made (will you still remember)
Were never to be (when the night is through?)

Though we’re apart, you’re part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill

Blue Skies

Blue skies smilin‘ at me
Nothin‘ but blue skies do I see
Bluebirds singin‘ a song
Nothin‘ but blue skies from now on

I never saw the sun shinin‘ so bright
Never saw things goin‘ so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you’re in love, my how they fly by

Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin‘ but blue skies from now on

Blue skies smilin‘ at me
Nothin‘ but blue skies do I see

Blue days all of them gone
Nothin‘ but blue skies from now on

Blue Moon

Blue moon, you saw me standin‘ alone
Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me sayin‘ a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper „please adore me“
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold

Blue moon, now I’m no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper „please adore me“
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold

Blue moon, now I’m no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Black Orpheus Melody

A day in the life of a fool
A sad and a long lonely day
I walk the avenue
Hoping to run into
The very sight of you coming my way

I stop just in front of our door
But you’re never there any more
So back to my room

And here in the gloom
I cry tears of goodbye

Til you come back to me
That’s the way it will be
Everyday in the life of a fool

Besame Mucho (Engl.)

Besame besame mucho
Each time I cling to your kiss I hear music divine
Besame besame mucho
Hold me my darling and say that you’ll always be mine

This joy is something new my arms enfolding you, never knew this thrill before
Whoever thought I’d be holding you close to me whispering you I adore

Dearest one if you should leave me
Each little dream would take wing and my life would be through

Besame besame mucho
Love me forever and make all my dreams come true

Baby It´s Cold Outside

I really can’t stay (Baby it’s cold outside)
I gotta go away (Baby it’s cold outside)
This evening has been (Been hoping that you’d dropped in)
So very nice (I’ll hold your hands they’re just like ice)

My mother will start to worry (Beautiful what’s your hurry?)
My father will be pacing the floor (Listen to the fireplace roar)
So really I’d better scurry (Beautiful please don’t hurry)
Well maybe just a half a drink more (I’ll put some records on while I pour)

The neighbors might think (Baby it’s bad out there)
Say what’s in this drink? (No cabs to be had out there)
I wish I knew how (Your eyes are like starlight now)
To break this spell (I’ll take your hat, your hair looks swell) (Why thank you)

I ought to say no, no, no sir (Mind if move in closer?)
At least I’m gonna say that I tried (What’s the sense of hurtin‘ my pride?)
I really can’t stay (Baby don’t hold out)
Baby it’s cold outside

Ah, you’re very pushy you know?
I like to think of it as opportunistic

I simply must go (Baby it’s cold outside)
The answer is no (But baby it’s cold outside)

The welcome has been (How lucky that you dropped in)
So nice and warm (Look out the window at that storm)
My sister will be suspicious (Gosh your lips look delicious!)
My brother will be there at the door (Waves upon a tropical shore)

My maiden aunt’s mind is vicious (Gosh your lips are delicious!)
Well maybe just a cigarette more (Never such a blizzard before) (And I don’t even smoke)

I’ve got to get home (Baby you’ll freeze out there)
Say lend me a coat? (It’s up to your knees out there!)

You’ve really been grand, (I feel when I touch your hand)
But don’t you see? (How can you do this thing to me?)
There’s bound to be talk tomorrow (Think of my life long sorrow!)
At least there will be plenty implied (If you caught pneumonia and died!)

I really can’t stay (Get over that old out)
Baby it’s cold
Baby it’s cold outside

(Okay fine, just another drink then
That took a lot of convincing!)

Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

T’was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
‚Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’ve first begun.

As Time Goes By

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

Ain´t Misbehavin´

No one to talk with
All by myself
No one to walk with
I’m happy on the shelf
Ain’t misbehavin‘
I’m savin‘ my love for you

I know for certain
The one I love
Through with flirtin‘
Just you that I’m thinkin‘ of
Misbehavin‘
Savin‘ my love for you

Hmm, like Jack Horner
In the corner
Don’t go nowhere
What do I care?
All your kisses
Worth waitin‘ for, believe me

I don’t stay out late
Don’t care to go
Home about eight
Me and my radio
Misbehavin‘, savin‘ love for you
