Now i'm a toreador
I am for sure
I kill bulls by the score
And sometimes more
And when they hear the bell ring
Inside the bullring
The bullocks all start trembling
They know i'm coming

I'm don alfonso
Some call me pedro
But that is not so
I'm don alfonso
I fought bullocks out in sunny spain
Out in sunny spain
I fought bulls in the sunshine
And i fought them in the rain
I'm don alfonso
I work for oxo
And all the bullocks are affraid of me
Oh my sword i pull
Kill si bull
Yes sir yes sir three bags full
Then we have steak and chips for tea

I met a sweet señora
In barcelona
Her christian name was mona
She was thumbs up bona
She told me she was single
That made me tingle
My heart went jingle jingle
I said: let's mingle

I'm don alfonso
Some call me pedro
But that is not so
I'm don alfonso
I fought bullocks out in sunny spain
Out in sunny spain
I fought bulls in the sunshine
And i fought bulls in the rain
I'm don alfonso
I work for oxo
And all the bullocks are affraid of me
Oh my sword i pull
Kill si bull
Yes sir yes sir three bags full
Then we have fully beff for tea
(repeat two times)

Zur zeit din ich torrero am mittelmeere
Ich fange schwarze bullen mit butterstullen
Die dicken ochsen zittern wenn sie mich wittern
Dabei bin ich so friedlich und sie so niedlich

Bin don alfonso
Genannt auch pedro
Doch das ist nicht so
Ich heiß' alfonso
Ich kämpf' gegen ochsen nackt allein
In spaniens sonnenschein
Doch wenn es regnet
Will mich keiner sehn das ist nicht schön
Ich heiß' alfonso und kämpfe stets froh
Und alle ochsen haben angst vor mir
Ich rufe mit dem tuch zum kampf
Und mache allen stieren dampf
Dann fallen blumen in den sand

Ich traf eine señora in barçelona
Mein herz sank in die beine
Denn sie war alleine
Mein puls war ziemlich lose
Zu eng die hose
Sie tat es mir erlauben
Ihr herz zu rauben

Bin don alfonso
Genannt auch pedro
Doch das ist nicht so
Ich heiß' alfonso
Ich kämpf' gegen ochsen fast allein
In spaniens sonnenschein
Doch wenn es regnet
Will mich keiner sehn das ist nicht schön
Ich heiß' alfonso und kämpfe stets froh
Und alle ochsen haben angst vor mir
Ich rufe mit dem tuch zum kampf
Und mache allen stieren dampf
Dann fallen damen in den sand

Bin don alfonso
Genannt auch pedro
Doch das ist nicht so
Ich heiß' alfonso
Ich kämpf' gegen ochsen nackt allein
In spaniens sonnenschein
Doch wenn es regnet
Will mich keiner sehn das ist nicht schön
Ich heiß' alfonso und kämpfe stets froh
Und alle ochsen haben angst vor mir
Ich rufe mit dem tuch zum kampf
Und mache allen stieren dampf
Nie soll ein stierkopf in den sand

Amazing grace! how sweet that sound
Has saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now i'm found;
Was blind, but now i see.

And i, want to feel sun on my face.
And i, i feel a shadow in its place.

Was grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour i first believed.

And i, want to feel sun on my face,
And i, i feel a shadow in its place.

We're the sunlight shining through cloud,
When we're standing free, proud.
We're the sunlight shining through cloud,
When we're standing free, proud.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come.
'tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

And i, want to feel sun on my face,
And i feel a shadow in its place.

We're the sunlight shining through cloud,
When we're standing free, proud.
We're the sunlight shining through cloud,
When we're standing free, proud.

Hush now baby made a start,
There's a jewel in your heart
And a star that shines for you,
Watching everything you do.
Don't you cry though it may seem
You were born into a dream.
There's another race to run,
You were not the only one.
Standing in the morning sun,
Waiting though it had begun,
May you never run aground
Or fall into the deep, deep sound.
Stormy weather turns to blue:
Here's a song to take with you.

Shine, shine!
She's my light,
She's my light.
Shine, shine!
I need her light.
She's my light.


All that you need and your desire.
If i'm put to the test,
I believe i couldn't get higher.
Just by being with you,
Pictures flow out of my mind.
Have we danced before
Long ago or in another time?


Because, because
She was, she was
Made in heaven.
She was, she was,
She was a maid in heaven.


All that you need and your desire.
Can we sing to the sunlight?
Play with fire.
Just by being with you
Spins me straight around the moon.
And if our rainbows could dance,
He'd dance for your desire soon.


Because, because
She was, she was,
She was a maid in heaven.
She was, she was,
She was a maid in heaven.


Shine, shine!
She's my light,
She's my light. (she's my light)
Shine, shine!
I need her light.
She's my light
And a maid in heaven.


Shine, shine!
She's my light,
She's my light.
She was a maid in heaven.
Shine, shine!
I need her light.
She's my light.


Shine, shine!
She's my light,
She's my light. (she's my light)
Shine, shine!
I need her light.
She's my light.
She was a maid in heaven.


Shine!

In a manger lying
Silent stars are shining
Rest in dreamless slumber
Eyes around all in wonder

Heaven and earth are turning
Round the hearth fire is burning
Sheltered from the cruel storm
Peace on earth is new born

When the birds sing outside
And you see the trees
Changing to green
The sun invites one
To be out in the open air
When the sky is so blue, then
Oh then, i wish for so much!

And the best remedy
For those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy
Is to go outside
Somewhere, where they can be quite alone
With the heavens, nature and god.

(taken from diary of anne frank.)

Far the horizon
Hove to the wind
We're sailing the sea
To the edge of the world

Bow to the waves
All to the earth's end
We're sailing the sea
To the edge of the world

So now we went our merry, merry way
To break the life monastic.
There's one two words i'd like to say
As we trip the light fantastic.
To hold a course and forge a way.
Here's to another folk clich

On a bright day she passed away in the morning.
It's a cruel way to take her away with no warning.
He took her hands through every midnight hour
And then saw her fading away like a spring shower.


[ chorus ]

I can see a complete life's time,
Pictures and posters of times and fashion.
Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme
Taken away in a crime of passion.


He stood to see if he could catch her breathing
But it was no good, he understood she was leaving.
He looked outside the frosty window pane
And then he saw her moving away, elizabeth jane.


[ repeat chorus ]

I see freedom in sight, it's a long climb
But she would not give up the fight for a long time,
And i see a light come shining in tonight.
Baby, it's all right, we couldn't have changed it with second sight.


[ repeat chorus ]

I see freedom light shining in the night.
I see freedom but she wouldn't give up the fight.


I see a light go shining in tonight.
Baby, it's all right, we couldn't have changed it with second sight.


I see a light go shining in tonight.
Baby, it's all right, we couldn't have changed it with second sight.

You're the one who's nearly breaking my heart.
Had your chance, you just threw it all away.
Living in a world that you could never be a part of
And never time to walk away.


[ chorus ]

You can't stay, no, you can't stay.
You're no loser, there's still time to ride that train
And you must be on your way tonight.
Think anew right through, you're a man in the rain.


What's the use in hanging round these walls.
Lamps are burning, but nobody's at home.
There's a new day dawning as a cold rain falls
And now's the time to walk alone.


[ repeat chorus ]

How's it feel when there's time to remember?
Branches bare, like the trees in november.


Had it all, threw it all away.
Now's the time to walk away.


[ repeat chorus ]

How's it feel when there's time to remember?
Branches bare, like the trees in november.


How's it feel when there's time to remember?
Branches bare, like the trees in november.


[ repeat chorus ]

Threw it all away, threw it all away
And now's the time to walk away.


[ repeat chorus ]

The frog went a-courting in a heated ride
The frog went a-courting and he did right
The frog went a-courting on a little white horse
The sword and pistol by his side

He went down to miss mouse's door
He went down to miss mouse's door
He went down to miss mouse's door
Where he had been many times before

Then he took miss mouse upon his knee
And he took miss mouse upon his knee
Yes, he took miss mouse upon his knee
And he said: miss mouse will you marry me?

Without my onkel rat's consent
I'm affraid without my onkel rat's consent
Oh no, without my onkel rat's consent
I would not marry the president

Then onkel rat laughed and he shock his fat side
Yes, then onkel rat laughed and he shock his fat side
Onkel rat laughed and he shock his fat side
To think that his niece would be a bride

Then he said: where will the wedding breakfast be?
Oh, where will the wedding breakfast be?
Where will the wedding breakfast be?
Way down yonder in that hollow tree?

The owls did hoot and the birds they sang
The owls did hoot and the birds they sang
And the owls did hoot and the birds they sang
Through the woods the music rang

(uk version sung by bridget st. john,
German version sung by mike oldfield)

And they all went sailing across the lake
And they all went sailing across the lake
And they all went sailing across the lake
And they got swollowed up by a big fat snake

There's bread and cheese upon the shelf
There's bread and cheese upon the shelf
There's bread and cheese upon the shelf
If you want anymore you can sing it yourself

(trad. / vocals: bridget st. john / mike oldfield)

By the shores of gitche gumee,
By the shining big-sea-water,
At the doorway of the wigwam,
In the early summer morning,


Hiawatha stood and waited.
All the air was full of freshness,
All the earth was bright and joyous,
And before him, through the sunshine,


Westward toward the neighboring forest
Passed in golden swarms the ahmo,
Passed the bees, the honey-makers,
Burning, singing in the sunshine.


Bright above him shone the heavens,
Level spread the lake before him;
From its bosom leaped the sturgeon,
Sparkling, flashing in the sunshine;


On its margin the great forest
Stood reflected in the water,
Every tree-top had its shadow,
Motionless beneath the water.


From the brow of hiawatha
Gone was every trace of sorrow,
As the fog from off the water,
As the mist from off the meadow.


With a smile of joy and gladness,
With a look of exultation,
As of one who in a vision
Sees what is to be, but is not,


Stood and waited hiawatha.
Toward the sun his hands were lifted,
Both the palms spread out toward it,
And between the parted fingers


Fell the sunshine on his features,
Flecked with light his naked shoulders,
As it falls and flecks an oak-tree
Through the rifted leaves and branches.


O'er the water floating, flying,
Something in the hazy distance,
Something in the mists of morning,
Loomed and lifted from the water,


Now seemed floating, now seemed flying,
Coming nearer, nearer, nearer.
Was it shingebis the diver?
Or the pelican, the shada?


Or the heron, the shuh-shuh-gah?
Or the white goose, waw-be-wana,
With the water dripping, flashing,
From its glossy neck and feathers?


It was neither goose nor diver,
Neither pelican nor heron,
O'er the water floating, flying,
Through the shining mist of morning,


But a birch canoe with paddles,
Rising, sinking on the water,
Dripping, flashing in the sunshine;
And within it came a people


(the son of the evening star)

Can it be the sun descending
O'er the level plain of water?
Or the red swan floating, flying,
Wounded by the magic arrow,


Staining all the waves with crimson,
With the crimson of its life-blood,
Filling all the air with splendor,
Filling all the air with plumage?


Yes; it is the sun descending,
Sinking down into the water;
All the sky is stained with purple,
All the water flushed with crimson!


No; it is the red swan floating,
Diving down beneath the water;
To the sky its wings are lifted,
With its blood the waves are reddened!


Over it the star of evening
Melts and trembles through the purple,
Hangs suspended in the twilight,
Walks in silence through the heavens.
