Aerosmith - I don't want to miss a thing

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing

Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if its me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God were together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing

I don't want to miss one smile
I don't want to miss one kiss
I just want to be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just want to hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
I don't want to miss a thing

Sixpence None the Richer - Kiss Me

It's a lovely song, isn't it?
___________________________________

SONGTEXT

Kiss me out of the bearded barley.
Nightly, beside the green, green grass.
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step.
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress.

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight.
Lead me out on the moonlit floor.
Lift your open hand.
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance,
Silver moon's sparkling.
So kiss me.

Kiss me down by the broken tree house.
Swing me upon its hanging tire.
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat.
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map.

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight.
Lead me out on the moonlit floor.
Lift your open hand.
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance,
Silver moon's sparkling.
So kiss me

TRADUZIONE

Baciami, lontano dall’orzo con la barba
Ogni notte, accanto all’erba verde verde
Dondola, dondola, dondola il passo che gira
Tu metti quelle scarpe e io metterò quel vestito£

Oh, baciami sotto il latteo crepuscolo
Portami fuori sul pavimento illuminato dalla luna
Alza la mano tua aperta
Attacca con la banda e fa danzare le lucciole
La luna argentea scintilla, quindi baciami

Baciami, giù alla casa dell’albero rotto
Dondolami sopra alla ruota sospesa
Porta, porta, porta il tuo cappello fiorito
Faremo il percorso segnato sulla cartina di tuo padre

Oh, baciami sotto il latteo crepuscolo
Portami fuori sul pavimento illuminato dalla luna
Alza la mano tua aperta
Attacca con la banda e fa danzare le lucciole
La luna argentea scintilla, quindi baciami

Oh, baciami sotto il latteo crepuscolo
Portami fuori sul pavimento illuminato dalla luna
Alza la mano tua aperta
Attacca con la banda e fa danzare le lucciole
La luna argentea scintilla, quindi baciami

Quindi baciami
Quindi baciami
Quindi baciami

A false cognate is a word that looks or sounds similar to one in another language but actually has a totally different meaning.

"Oh Holy night" song

"O Holy Night" ("Cantique de Noël") is a well-known Christmas carol composed by Adolphe Adam in 1847 to the French poem "Minuit, chrétiens" by Placide Cappeau (1808-1877), an accomplished amateur.
I heard it last week and I liked it very much!!!!

Oh Holy Night


Oh holy night!
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices

Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine

Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here come the wise men from Orient land
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend.

Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.

Mariah Carey - Oh Holy Night

John Brown

On October 16, 1859, he led 21 men on a raid of the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. His plan to arm slaves with the weapons he and his men seized from the arsenal was thwarted, however, by local farmers, militiamen, and Marines led by Robert E. Lee. Within 36 hours of the attack, most of Brown's men had been killed or captured.

John Brown was hanged on December 2, 1859.
