Sissel [보컬]

From Once Upon A Time in America
(Ennio Morricone)

(Instrumental)

(Trad./arr. Callendorf)

Jesus, din søte forening a smake
Lenges og trenges mitt hjerte og sinn.
Riv meg fra alt det meg holder tilbake,
Dra meg i deg, min begynnelse inn!
Vis meg med klarhet min avmakt og møye,
Vis meg fordervelsens avgrunn i meg,
At seg naturen til døden kan bøye,
Anden alene ma leve for deg

(Handel/Giacomo Rossi)

Lascia ch'io pianga
Mia cruda sorte,
E che sospiri la liberta!
E che sospiri,
E che sospiri la liberta!
Lascia ch'io pianga
Mia cruda sorte,
E che sospiri la liberta!

Il duolo infranga
Queste ritorte
De miei martiri
Sol per pieta,
De miei martiri
Sol per pieta.

E che sospiri la liberta!
E che sospiri la liberta!

(Astor Piazzolla/David Zippel)

One stolen kiss from you
And the world I knew went away
And for ever would cease to be
All I had known before
Could exist no more
Only you and me
One look at you left my soul undone
And we drifted to oblivion

You overcome all my heart's defences
No past or future tenses
Live in the world within your arms
Who else could fill all my thoughts and senses?
You are the only one
Oblivion

How could I not have known
I am yours alone, my desire
That I'm destined to be with you
Yours for the rest of time
And the test of time
We will sail right through
One look at you left my soul undone
And we drifted to oblivion
Oblivion

(Andrew Lloyd Webber)

Pie Jesu, pie Jesu

Pie Jesu, pie Jesu

Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei
Qui tollis peccata mundi

Hush! Hush!
With lovely eyes
Closed in sleep, the princess lies,
By a fairy charm enchanted,
Doomed to dream in forests haunted:
Hush! Hush!
Pale and wan, as dead she were,
Sleeps the princess ever there.
Hush! Hush!

Sudden on the silence breaking,
Laughing, shouting, merrymaking,
Thro' the gloom the woodnymphs sweep,
Yet they do not break her sleep.

Fast asleep the princess lies,
Wrapped in mystery her eyes,
By a fairy charm enchanted,
Doomed to dream in forests haunted!
Hush! Hush!

Baleful charm and slumber fell:
Will she wake?
Ah, none can tell!
Hush! Hush!

(Chopin/Francis Giacobetti)

E triste il mio cuor senza di te
Che sei lontana e piu non pensi a me,
Dimmi perche
Fai soffrir quest'anima che t'ama
E ti vuole vicin
Sei tu la vision che ogni sera
Sognar fa il cuor che nell'amore spera,
Ma e un'illusion
Piu da me non tornerai
Forse un'altro bacerai
Mentre triste vola la canzon
Che canto a te
Solamente a te
Dolce sogno d'or
Questo vuole il cour
Triste senz'amor

(Jon Lord/Samantha Brown)

Wait before you go,
So you will know, what I am feeling as you leave
I understand, your need for some time
Some solitude

Wait a while, before you go
You should know by now, my heart belongs to you

I know that you must leave
And I can see, that it's not easy for you, now that I'll be here, I know that my soul
Is always near you

Wait a while before you go
You should know by now I love you and so I will wait a while For you

The sand of time is slipping through my fingers
You and I, still the memories linger on
And on

Now I know that if I can only let go
And wait a while, you'll be here again with me
The same old friends we've always been

Wait a while before you go
You should know by now I love you and so I will wait a while
Wait a while
Wait a while
For you

(Dvo?ak / Fisher)

Going home, going home
I'm jus' going home
Quiet like, some still day
I'm jus' going home

It's not far, yes close by
Through an open door
Work all done, care laid by
Going to fear no more

Mother's there 'specting me
Father's waiting, too
Lots of folk gathered there
All the friends I knew

All the friends I knew

I'm going home

Nothing lost, all's gain
No more fret nor pain
No more stumbling on the way
No more longing for the day
Going to roam no more

Morning star lights the way
Restless dream all done
Shadows gone, break of day
Real life yes begun

There's no break, aint no end
Jus' a livin' on
Wide awake with a smile
Going on and on

Going home, going home
I'm jus' going home
It's not far, yes close by
Through an open door
I'm jus' going home

Going home, going home

(Bjerkestrand / Sissel / Wasserman)

Hallowed are the mountains
On this crystal day
Come the hour of twilight
Change is on its way

Eventide ascending
Robed in veils of blue
Magic is this moment
Sharing it with you

Drifting off to sleep
All the world in peace
Seven seriphs softly singing
Puts our souls at ease

Hallowed are the mountains
On this crystal day
Come the hour of twilight
Change is on its way

Eventide ascending
Robed in veils of blue
Magic is this moment
Sharing it with you

Seven seriphs softly singing
All the world in peace

(Traditional / Bjerkestrand / Graham)

Deep is the darkness that falls down on me
Long is the long night 'til morning will be
Bright be the north star to shine constantly
'Til winter brings you home safely to me

Blessed be the west wind
Blessed be the wild 'fall
Blessed be the ocean to carry you home
Blessed be cold winter, its storm and its sea
Blessed be the true love that brings you to me

Still is the valley, no bell to be ringing
Silent the harsh frost that crushes the tree
Frozen the heart with no song to be singing
'Til winter brings you home safely to me

Blessed be the west wind
Blessed be the wild 'fall
Blessed be the ocean to carry you home
Blessed be cold winter, its storm and its sea
Blessed be the truel love that brings you to me

Deep is the darkness that falls down on me
Long is the long night 'til morning will be
Bright be the north star to shine constantly
'Til winter brings you home safely to me

Blessed be the west wind
Blessed be the wild 'fall
Blessed be the ocean to carry you home
Blessed be cold winter, its storm and its sea
Blessed be the true love that brings you to me

(Traditional / Bjerkestrand / Graham)

Sleep you now, oh child of mine
Sleep you in your manger
Sleep while winter winds will whine
Sleep you safe from danger

Sleep you when the dark ice groans
Frost and fire nearing
Sleep you when the silence moans
Sleep you with no fearing

Sleep you well and sleep you long
For life will leave you weary
Sleep you still and sleep you strong
'Til you no longer hear me

You no longer hear me

Jesu, joy of man's desiring
Holy wisdom, love most bright

Drawn by Thee, our souls aspiring
Soar to uncreated light

Word of God, our flesh that fashioned
With the fire of life impassioned

Striving still to truth unknown
Soaring, dying round Thy throne

(Peterson / Hammond / Bettis / Ferrau)
(Duet With Jose Carreras)

Le stelle chiamano. La notte va.
Il giorno che vivro non morira.
Il mondo cambiero solo per te.
E impossibile, ma non per me.

I wanna hold you close
Under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile
And feel the pain
I know what's beautiful
Looking at you
In a world of lies,
You are the truth

Amore! Quando mi ami,
Mi sento forte.
Ti salvero ovunque tu sarai.

I'll bring you everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark

Quando sento che mi ami

I wanna make you see
Just what I was
Show you the loneliness
And what it does

Ma le mie lacrime lontane gia.
Tutto e piu facile se tu sei qua.

Oh baby
Every time you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are

Ti porto tutto cio che chiedi.
Niente sembra troppo.
Io splendo anche nell oscurita,

When you tell me that you love me

Senza di te, il mondo non puo piu girare.
Solo il tuo amore mi puo salvare

Amore! Quando mi ami,
Mi sento forte.
Ti salvero ovunque tu sarai.
Ti porto tutto cio che chiedi.
Niente sembra troppo.
Io splendo anche nell oscurita,
Quando sento che mi ami.

You love me

Quando sento che mi ami

(Andrew Gold / Graham Gouldman)

On the streets below these walls
Where I used to walk
Now I can barely crawl
All this darkness rising tall
Lord, shine a light for me
I'm waiting to be called
I'm ready to go home
I'm ready to receive forgiveness for my sins
I'm ready to begin
Take this river to the sea
Where the delta flows
The tide is washing over me
Take this soul to heaven's door
Show me where tomorrow lies
I'm waiting to be born
I'm ready to lay down
I'm ready now to sleep
A promise I must keep
I'm ready to go home
So tired, I lay down with these memories
I breath shallow deep inside of me

Mama how do I begin
To explain this situation we're in
Angels heard the beautiful words
That you prayed
And showed me the way to you

And they knew you were in love
So they sent me down from heaven above
Angels cried and kissed me goodbye
I was long gone this is my song to you

Oh, my song could never be
As sweet as the song you sing to me
Oh, my love could never be
As deep as the love you give to me

When your fingers touch my skin
And you kiss my lips and tickle my chin
I breathe you in, oh mama i'm where I belong
This is my song to you

Oh, my song could never be
As sweet as the song you sing to me
Oh, my love could never be
As deep as the love you give to me

Oh, one day I will be grown
And I know I'll have a child on my own
Remember me this way, cause some day
I'll be long gone singing my song to you

Oh, my song could never be
As sweet as the song you sing to me
Oh, my love could never be
As deep as the love you give to me

(Traditional / Bjerkestrand / Graham)

On this glad Christmas morning
When will my heart arise?
The dew will rise the dawning
The sun rise to the skies

Oh Jesu, while you're sleeping
The whole world sings its joys
But I am filled with weeping
When will my heart arise?

I am the thorns that crowned you
I am the whips that scourge
I am the chains that bound you
Who all my sins did purge

I am the cross you shoulder
A cross that crucified
Against your tongue the boulder
When will my heart arise?

I heed here by your manger
Oh blessed winter child
Great, do not have me stranger
Into the winter wild

I kneel here for forgiveness
And all my sins despise
Forgive me gentle baby
Then will my heart arise

(Bjerkestrand / Sissel / Wasserman)

Moon,
Stars and sky
Forever changing
Constant am I
Longing for the day
With every rising sun
Believing you would come
To me

And you will be my moon
And my stars
My sky

Dreams
Hope and grace
Sacred the silence
Timeless embrace
Two seekers' tearful smiles
With every rising sun
Believe and it will come
To you

And I will be your moon
And your stars
Your sun
And your sky

I'll be your moon
Your sun
Your sky

(Traditional)

What child is this who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of Mary

Why lies he in such mean estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian fear
For sinners hear
The silent word is pleading

Nails, spears shall pierce him through
The cross be borne for me, for you
Hail, hail the word made flesh
The babe, the son of Mary

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant, king to own Him
The King of kings, salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him

Raise, raise the song on high
The virgin sings a lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The babe, the son of Mary

Norwegian folk song

No lyrics as this song contains wordless vocals.

When Sissel sang this recently in concert, she described it as a wedding march and said that the way she sung it described a wedding in three parts: the ceremony, the wedding party, and the day after

(Kai Normann Andersen/Børge Muller)
Danish

En enlig lille muse har det svære' end man tror,
Man befinder sig skidt mellem himmel og jord.
Man slider og man slæber, men hvad skal man stille op
Med sit gode humør og sin medbragte krop.
Man var sa oplagt til alt, da man kom,
Men det er der ing'n, der bekymrer sig om.
En muses live og levned, det betyder ikke spor.
Man er bare et fnug mellem himmel og jord.

En muse er en pligtopfyld'ne lille meteor,
Hun er alltid pa fart mellem himmel og jord.
Hun kommer, nar det kaldes, og hun ofrer hvad hun kan,
Om det sa er seg selv, for at frelse en mand.
Ak, men hvad har man sa ud af sit job,
Kun vrøvl og spetakler, og sa skal man op.
De smating, man har ordnet, nævnes ikke met et ord.
Man har kun gjort sin pligt mellem himmel og jord.

Der' mend nok her i verden, en er lille, en er stor,
Og de lover en alt mellem himmel og jord.
Men manden, ham den rigti'e, der far pulsen til at sla,
Det man som, man ved, at man aldrig kan fa.
Jordiske piger til alteret gar,
Den chance er der ingen muse, der far.
Sa muser de ma hell're blive hjemme, hvor de bor.
De far hjerterne knust mellem himmel og jord

Swedish folk song

O tysta ensamhet,
Var skall jag nojen finna?
Bland sorg som ingen vet,
Skall mina dar forsvinna.
En borda tung som sten
Mig moter vart jag gar.
Bland tusen finns knappt en,
Som karlek ratt forstar.

Det ar den tyngsta sorg
Som jorden mande bara
Att man skall mista bort
Sin allra hjartans kara.
Det ar den tyngsta sorg
Som solen overgar
Att man skall alska den
Man aldrig nansin far.

Ett rent och adelt sinn,
En dygd som ensamt blanker,
En mun som talar ett
Med allt vad hjartat tanker.
Jag tror en sadan van
Ar mer an mycket rar.
Var skall jag finna den
Som dessa dygder har?

Emellan dig och mig
Dar tandes upp en laga
Dar tandes upp en eld
Som ar en daglig plaga.
Hur skall jag dampa den
Vet jag alls ingen ra',
Jag sorjer till min dod
Om jag dig ej kan fa

Norwegian folk song

Om kvelden nar det mørkner og alle gar til ro
Da stenger jeg for stall og for lave
Og spurvene de netter seg i hvert sitt lille bo
Da gar vel ogsa du til din kove
Men siden vet jeg ikke a fa tiden til a ga,
For i de lange netter da lenges jeg sa.
Da har jeg ikke sinne til a sove.

Det mørkner over veien og høsten stunder til,
Og taken den tetner over enge.
Pa stiene i skogen har mangen gatt vill
O stjernerne de stiger sa strenge.
Men kan du ikke komme i aften, lille venn,
Sa send meg et bud og si meg nar du kommer igjen.
Jeg har ikke sett deg pa sa lenge.

Na star du foran speilet og kjemmer ditt har,
Sa sort og alvorlig er ditt øye.
Da banker vel ditt hjerte, men hvorfor det slar,
Det vet du enna ikke sa nøye,
For ennu har vel ingen fatt komme deg nær.
Men over stolen henger dine fattige klær,
Ditt skjørt og dine strømper og din trøye

(Stephen Endelman / Gemma Hayes)

The time we lost
You held your cross
No tears did your eyes tell.
The time you lost
No matter what the cost
Your strength it saw you through.

But time will heal
What your heart conceals
And this I know too well
The road you've known
That takes you home
Is waiting strong and true.
For this child of mine
She'll forever shine.
Angels rays
Watch over you

(Richard Marx)

Just like everybody else
You are trapped within yourself
A prisoner of everything you know

And all you need to understand
I am golden in these hands
Just close your eyes and let it go

Listen to the voice that echoes in your head
And fall into the arms of destiny

Chorus:
This is your journey
I will take you for a ride
Far beyond imagination
Suspend your reason
Throw your common sense aside
This is your only destination
Hey, hey

Master of your fantasies
More than what you think you see
I create a world made of your dreams

That' s what I was put here to do
The gift I give to you
But no one needs it more than me

I know what tomorrow brings today
I want to share it all with you

Chorus:
This is your journey
I will take you for a ride
Far beyond imagination
Suspend your reason
Throw your common sense aside
This is your only destination
Hey, hey

I can take you to a place you've never been
I know this feeling has no end
All you need is just to look into their eyes
And find your innocence again

Chorus:
This is your journey
I will take you for a ride
Far beyond imagination
Suspend your reason
Throw your common sense aside
This is your only destination
Hey, hey

Lascia ch'io pianga
Mia cruda sorte,
E che sospiri la liberta!
E che sospiri,
E che sospiri la liberta!
Lascia ch'io pianga
Mia cruda sorte,
E che sospiri la liberta!

Il duolo infranga
Queste ritorte
De miei martiri
Sol per pieta,
De miei martiri
Sol per pieta.

E che sospiri la liberta!
E che sospiri la liberta!

(Giacomo Puccini)
From "Gianni Schicchi"

O Mio babbino caro,
Mi piace, e bello, bello;
Vo' andare in Porta Rossa
A comperar l'anello!
Si, si, ci voglio andare!
E se l'amasi indarno,
Andrei sul Ponte Vecchio,
Ma per buttarmi in Arno!
Mi struggo e mi tormento!
Dio, vorrei morir!
Babbo, pieta, pieta!

Swear i made up my mind when i saw you that first time
its like you were sent from the sky
the kind of love you hear about
that you just cant do without
baby thats you and i
always believed there was something more
through every empy hour i kept searching for

someone like you who does everything the way that you do
someone like you, baby no one holds a candle
the only someone i want is you

ive treasured this romance and hold you as we dance
our way through love's open doors
ive found my happiness within ur sweet caress
then ive ever known before

somethings fate wont let you leave behind
i could turn this world over but i'll never find

someone like you who does everything the way that you do
someone like you, baby no one holds a candle
the only someone i want is you

its not like ive given up on life
just because ive found this love
ive never felt something so right
your love is a gift to my heart

somethings fate wont let you leave behind
i could turn this world over but i'll never find

someone like you who does everything the way that you do
someone like you,baby no one holds a candle the only someone i want is you

(Chopin/Francis Giacobetti)

E triste il mio cuor senza di te
Che sei lontana e piu non pensi a me,
Dimmi perche
Fai soffrir quest'anima che t'ama
E ti vuole vicin
Sei tu la vision che ogni sera
Sognar fa il cuor che nell'amore spera,
Ma e un'illusion
Piu da me non tornerai
Forse un'altro bacerai
Mentre triste vola la canzon
Che canto a te
Solamente a te
Dolce sogno d'or
Questo vuole il cour
Triste senz'amor

(Jon Lord/Samantha Brown)

Wait before you go,
So you will know, what I am feeling as you leave
I understand, your need for some time
Some solitude

Wait a while, before you go
You should know by now, my heart belongs to you

I know that you must leave
And I can see, that it's not easy for you, now that I'll be here, I know that my soul
Is always near you

Wait a while before you go
You should know by now I love you and so I will wait a while For you

The sand of time is slipping through my fingers
You and I, still the memories linger on
And on

Now I know that if I can only let go
And wait a while, you'll be here again with me
The same old friends we've always been

Wait a while before you go
You should know by now I love you and so I will wait a while
Wait a while
Wait a while
For you

(Rolf Lovland / Brendan Graham)

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be
