Montserrat Caballe [Soprano]

A rose, a cross, a flickering light
A brave face, cold and white
A voice, hushed by heaven’s right
All too soon
Fool am I to grant this life meaning
To dream dreams not worth dreaming
While angels of death are silently scheming

Let me lay my head upon your breast
And whisper words unconfessed
I beg God in my loneliness
Tell me why
Why one so young and tender
Crushed like a rose in December
Lost forever and ever

I will be there when your heart calls on me
Down from a star, on a cloud
From the highest heaven
I will fly
Now don’t you cry

Why one so young and tender
Crushed like a rose in December
Lost forever and ever

I will be there when your heart calls on me
Down from a star, on a cloud
From the highest heaven
I will fly
Now don’t you cry

Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy.
I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
Little high, little low.
Any way the wind blows
Doesn't really matter to me.
To me


Mama, just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger,
Now he's dead,
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I've gone
And thrown it all away
Mama, ooh,
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time
Tomorrow carry on, carry on,
(as if) nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine,
Body's aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody
I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind
And face the truth
Mama, ooh
I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish
I'd never been born at all

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche, scaramouche
Will you do the Fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning
Very very frightening me
Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Galileo
Galileo figaro Magnifico
But I'm just a poor boy
And nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy
From a poor family
Spare him his life
From this monstrosity
Easy come easy go
Will you let me go
Bismillah! No
We will not let you go
Let him go. Bismillah!
We will not let you go
Let him go. Bismillah!
We will not let you go
Let me go
Will not let you go
Let me go
Will not let you go
Let me go
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Mama mia, mama mia, mama mia
Let me go
Beelzebub has a devil
Put aside for me, for me, for me

So you think you can stone me
And spit in my eye
So you think you can love me
And leave me to die
Oh Baby
Can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out
Just gotta get right outta here

Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows
