My December [English]

This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear

This is my December
This is my snow-covered home
This is my December
This is me alone

And I just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I take back all the things I said
To make you feel like that
And I just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I take back all the things that I said to you

And I'd give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to

This is my December
These are my snow-covered dreams
This is me pretending
This is all I need

And I just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I take back all the things I said
To make you feel like that
And I just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I take back all the things that I said to you
And I'd give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to
This is my December
This is my time of the year

You're The Only Place

CD: Closer
Composers: Walter Afanasieff & Billy Mann
Language: English

You're The Only Place [English]

Seems like our love is on a road to nowhere fast
All my life I thought a love like this would last
But every road can hide a corner we can't see
I had a vision that I woke up by your side
I felt you breathing and our souls were intertwined
But who controls love's destiny-- not me

We had it all
Right in our hands
We had the space to fly and still the place to land

So I'm calling out
I'm calling out to the only one
Who can save us from what we've done
Don't leave me hanging on
I'm reaching out and praying you'll come back again
It's just darkness I'm living in
And you're the only place my heart has ever been

Maybe I'm young and in the ways of love naive
Maybe I'm desperate for a reason to believe
There wasn't any way I thought that we would fall
I've seen perfection in a rainbow in the sky
I've seen a child make the coldest grown man cry
But loving you I thought was greater than them all

We had it all
Just you and me
Now there's a doorway to my heart without a key

So I'm calling out
I'm calling out to the only one
Who can save us from what we've done
Don't leave me hanging on
I'm reaching out and praying you'll come back again
It's just darkness I'm living in
And you're the only place my heart has ever been

Wherever you are right now
Come back and show me how you feel
Because I'm lost without you here

Calling out
I'm calling out to the only one
Who can save us from what we've done
Don't leave me hanging on
And I'm reaching out and praying you'll come back again
It's just darkness I'm living in
'Cause you're the only place my heart has ever been

She's Out Of My Life

CD: Closer
Composers: Tom Bahler
Language: English

She's Out Of My Life [English]

She's out of my life
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life

It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that It stands
She's out of my hands

So I've learned that love's Not Possession
And I've learned that love won't wait
Now I've learned that love needs expression
But I learned too late

She's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damned Indecision and cursed pride
Kept my love for her locked deep Inside
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life

Mi Morena

CD: Closer
Composers: Martin Page
Language: English

Mi Morena [English]

And so my love
From my window I can see
A beautiful vision
And when the music plays
Your body rises like a bird of grace

Mi morena
I saw you dancing in the rain
Holy water
Shining like a silver flame
Come like a ghost
I will watch you dance alone
Mi morena
You're the light within my soul

And so my love
The way you're moving in your dress
To a nylon guitar
On wings of silk and lace
You lift upon the notes and slip away

Mi morena
I saw you dancing in the rain
Holy water
Shining like a silver flame
Come like a ghost
I will watch you dance alone
Mi morena
You're the light within my soul

Take this cross of feathers and bone
Take this heart I've carved in stone
In your name

Where the setting sun surrenders to the moon
Mi querida
I wait for you
Mi morena
I saw you dancing in the rain
Holy water
Shining like a silver flame
Come like a ghost
I will watch you dance alone
Mi morena
You're the light within my soul

Mi morena
Hold your hands out to the night
Be my lover
I will fall into your eyes
Sweet fire of love
For you I'd steal the stars
`Cause I adore you
O my morena

While it doesn't have a direct English translation, "Mi Morena" basically translates to "my dark one," and is used as a term of endearment or affection.

Never Let Go

CD: Closer
Composers: Eric Mouquet & Josh Groban
Language: English

Featuring Deep Forest

Never Let Go [English]

I can't understand it.
The search for an answer is met with a darker day.
And we've been handed these moments forever.
But I'm reassured there's another way.
You don't have to close your eyes.
There is room for love again.
Ease the pain to realize
All that love can be.
Forced apart by time and sand.
Take a step and take my hand.
And don't let it go.
Never let go.

Broken, once connected,
We were so strong and so blessed in a simple way.
So don't let me go it alone.

Turn your head up to the sky.
Nothing down below but me.
Face the truth to realize
All that we could be.
Torn apart by rage and fear.
Hold onto what brought you here.
Don't let it go.
Never let go.

You Raise Me Up

CD: Closer
Composers: Brendan Graham & Rolf Løvland
Language: English

You Raise Me Up [English]

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.

You raise me up... To more than I can be.

Hymne A L'Amour

CD: Closer
Composers: Edith Gassion & Geoffery Parsons & Marguerite Monnot
Language: French

Hymne A L'Amour [French]

Le ciel bleu sur nous peut s'effondrer
Et la Terre peut bien s'écrouler
Peut m'importe si tu m'aimes
Je me fous du monde entire

Tant que l'amour inondera mes matins
Tant que mon corps frémira sous tes mains
Peut m'importent les problèmes
Mon amour puisque tu m'aimes

J'irais jusqu'au bout du monde
Je me ferais teindre en blonde
Si tu me le demandais

J'irais décrocher la Lune
J'irais voler la fortune
Si tu me le demandais

Je renierais ma patrie
Je renierais mes amis
Si tu me le demandais

On peut bien rire de moi
Je ferais n'importe quoi
Si tu me le demandais

Et si un jour la vie t'arrache à moi
Si tu meures que tu sois loin de moi
Peu m'importe si tu m'aimes
Car moi je mourrai aussi

Et nous aurons pour nous l'éternité
Dans le bleu de toute l'immensité
Dans le ciel plus de problèmes
Mon amour crois-tu qu'on s'aime
Dieu reunit ceux qui s'aiment!

Song of Love [English]

The blue sky can tumble down upon us
And the earth can also collapse
It doesn't matter, if you love me
I don't care about the entire world

As long as love floods my mornings
As long as my body trembles beneath your hand
These problems don't matter
My love, since you love me

I would go to the end of the earth
I would dye my hair blonde
If you asked it of me

I would go take down the moon
I would go steal a fortune
If you asked it of me

I would disown my country
I would disown my friends
If you asked it of me

People can have a good laugh at me
I would do anything
If you asked it of me

If one day life tears you from me
If you die that you be far from me
It doesn't matter, if you love me
Because, me, I will die also

We will have eternity for ourselves
In the great blue immensity
In the sky, no more problems
My love, do you believe we love each other
God reunites those who love each other

Remember When It Rained

Remember When It Rained [English]

Wash away the thoughts inside
That keep my mind away from you.
No more love and no more pride
And thoughts are all I have to do.

Ohhhhhh Remember when it rained.
Felt the ground and looked up high
And called your name.
Ohhhhhh Remember when it rained.
In the darkness I remain.

Tears of hope run down my skin.
Tears for you that will not dry.
They magnify the one within
And let the outside slowly die.

Ohhhhhh Remember when it rained.
I felt the ground and looked up high
And called your name.
Ohhhhhh Remember when it rained.
In the water I remain
Running down
Running down
Running down
Running down
Running down
Running down
Running down

Caruso

CD: Closer
Composers: Lucio Dalla
Language: Italian

Caruso [Italian]

Qui dove il mare luccica,
e tira forte il vento
sulla vecchia terrazzo
davanti al golfo di Surriento
un uomo abbraccia una ragazza
dopo che aveva pianto
poi si schiarisce la voce,
e ricomincia il canto
Te vojo bene assai
ma tanto tanto bene sai
e una catena ormai
che scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai...

Vide le luci in mezzo al mare,
penso alle notti la in America
ma erano solo le lampare
e la bianca scia di un'elica
senti il dolore nella musica,
e si alzo dal pianoforte
ma quando vide uscire
la luna da una nuvola,
gli sembro piu dolce anche la morte
guardo negli occhi la ragazza,
quegli occhi verdi come il mare
poi all'improvviso usci una lacrima
e lui credette di affogare
Te vojo bene assai
ma tanto tanto bene sai
e una catena ormai
che scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai ...

Potenza della lirica,
dove ogni dramma e un falso
che con un po' di trucco e con la mimica
puoi diventare un altro
ma due occhi che tie guardano,
cosi vicini e veri
ti fan scordare le parole,
confondono i pensieri
cosi diventa tutto piccolo,
anche le notti la in America
ti volti e vedi la tua vita,
dietro la scia di un'elica
ma si, e la vita che finisce,
e non ci penso poi tant
anzi, si sentiva gia felice,
e ricomincio il suo canto
Te vojo bene assai
ma tanto tanto bene sai
e una catena ormai
che sciolglie il sangue dint'e vene sai ...

Caruso [English]

Here, where the sea shines
and the wind howls,
on the old terrace
beside the gulf of Sorrento,
a man embraces a girl
after the tears,
then clears his throat
and continues the song:
I love you very much
very, very much, you know;
it is a chain by now
that heats the blood inside the veins, you know...

He saw the lights out on the sea,
thought of the nights there in America,
but they were only the fishermen's lamps
and the white wash astern.
He felt the pain in the music
and stood up from the piano,
but when he saw the moon
emerging from a cloud,
death also seemed sweeter to him.
He looked the girl in the eyes,
those eyes as green as the sea.
Then suddenly a tear fell
and he believed he was drowning.
I love you very much,
very, very much, you know;
it is a chain by now
that heats the blood inside the veins, you know ...

The power of opera,
where every drama is a hoax;
with a little make-up and with mime
you can become someone else.
But two eyes that look at you,
so close and real,
make you forget the words,
confuse your thoughts,
so everything becomes small,
also the nights there in America.
You turn and see your life
through the white wash astern.
But, yes, it is life that ends
and he did not think much about it,
on the contrary, he already felt happy
and continued his song:
I love you very much,
very, very much, you know;
it is a chain by now
that heats the blood inside the veins, you know ...

Broken Vow

CD: Closer
Composers: Lara Fabian & Walter Afanasieff
Language: English

Broken Vow [English]

Tell me his name
I want to know
The way he looks
And where you go
I need to see his face
I need to understand
Why you and I came to an end

Tell me again
I want to hear
Who broke my faith in all these years
Who lays with you at night
While I'm here all alone
Remembering when I was your own

I let you go
I let you fly
Why do I keep on asking why
I let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow

Tell me the words I never said
Show me the tears you never shed
Give me the touch
That one you promised to be mine
Or has it vanished for all time

I let you go
I let you fly
Why do I keep on asking why
I let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow

I close my eyes
And dream of you and I
And then I realize
There's more to love than only bitterness and lies
I close my eyes

I'd give away my soul
To hold you once again
And never let this promise end

I let you go
I let you fly
Now that I know I’m asking why
I let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow

All Improvviso Amore [Italian]

Il vento che soffia piano
Questa notte cambia il mio destino
E sento che il cuore
Ancora si sorprenderà

La vita ora ha più senso
Se guardo questo cielo immense
E la luna inamorata
Si illuminerà di me
E sarà

All'improvviso amore
Come il mare
M'invade il cuore e l'anima
E mi salverà
E sarà naturale come respirare
L'aria in me, mi parlerà di te

Adesso tutto è diverso
Respiro te nell'universo
I tuoi occhi son due stelle nell'oscurità

All'improvviso amore
Come il mare
M'invade il cuore e l'anima
E mi salverà
E sarà naturale come respirare

E sarà vero amore
Che guarisce il cuore
Luce dentro me nascerà

To The Unexpected Love [English]

The wind that softly blows
Tonight is changing my destiny
And I feel that my heart will be surprised
Once again

Life has more sense, now
If I watch this immense sky
And the loving moon
Will brighten up with me
And will be...

Suddenly Love
Like the sea
Flooding my heart and my soul
And will save me
It will be natural like breathing
And the air will talk me of you

Now everything is different
I breathe of you in the universe
Your eyes are two stars in the darkness

Suddenly Love
Like the sea
Flooding my heart and my soul
And will save me
It will be natural like breathing

And will be true love
Healing my heart
Will rise the light inside of me

Tutto quello che mi chiederai
Andrò sempre dovunque tu andrai
Darò tutto l'amore che ho per te

When You Say You Love Me

CD: Closer
Composers: Mark Hammond & Robin Scoffield
Language: English

When You Say You Love Me [English]

Like the sound of silence calling,
I hear your voice and suddenly
I'm falling, lost in a dream.
Like the echoes of our souls are meeting,
You say those words and my heart stops beating.
I wonder what it means.
What could it be that comes over me?
At times I can't move.
At times I can hardly breathe.

When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment, there's no one else alive

You're the one I've always thought of.
I don't know how, but I feel sheltered in your love.
You're where I belong.
And when you're with me if I close my eyes,
There are times I swear I feel like I can fly
For a moment in time.
Somewhere between the Heavens and Earth,
And frozen in time, Oh when you say those words.

When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment, there's no one else alive

And this journey that we're on.
How far we've come and I celebrate every moment.
And when you say you love me,
That's all you have to say.
I'll always feel this way.

When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
In that moment, I know why I'm alive

When you say you love me.
When you say you love me.
Do you know how I love you?

Si Volvieras A Mi

CD: Closer
Composers: Claudia Brant & Klaus Derendorf & Mark Portmann
Language: Spanish

Si Volvieras A Mi [Spanish]

¿Como sobrevivir?
¿Como calmar mi sed?
¿Como seguir sin ti?
¿Como saltar sin red?
Con ese adios tan salvaje y cruel
Me desojaste la piel
No hay eternidad en final se quedo
Y un desierto es mi Corazon

Ay si volvieras a mi
Encenderia el sol mil primaveras
Si regresaras por mi
Seria un milagro cada beso que me dieras
Pero hoy te vas
Y no hay vuelta atras

¿Que habra despues de ti?
Mas que estas lagrimas
Si hasta la lluvia en el jardin
Toca musica sin fin
Sombria y tragica
Hoy de rodillas le pido a Dios
Que por el bien de los dos
Algo en tu pecho se quiebre al oir
A este loco que se muere de amor

Ay si volvieras a mi
Encenderia el sol mil primaveras
Si regresaras por mi
Seria un milagro cada beso que me dieras
Pero hoy te vas
Y no hay vuelta atras

Y desataste un huracan
Fuego y furia de un volcan
Que no se apaga
Como olvido que fui
Esclavo de ti
Ya no puedo mas

Ay si volvieras a mi vida
Si volvieras
Si regresaras por mi
Seria feliz otra vez
Pero hoy te vas
Y no hay vuelta atras

If You Returned To Me [Spanish]

How to survive
How to calm my thirst
How can I continue without you
How can I jump without a net [to catch me]
With that farewell so wild and cruel
You hurt me to the core
I remain stuck in time
And my heart is a desert

Oh if you would come back to me
The sun moves through 1000 spring times
If you returned to me
It would be miracle with each kiss you give me
But today you’re gone
And there is no turning back

What is there after you?
More than these tears
Like the rain in a garden
Little music in end
I could try but I would fall
Today I say “goodbye” on bended knees
That by good of the two
I sense the emptiness in you
I’m crazy that I am dying of love

Oh if you could come back to me
The sun moves through 1000 spring times
If you returned to me
It would miracle each time you see me
But today you are gone
And there is no return for us

And, I am an undone hurricane
The fire and fury of a volcano
That doesn’t turn off
I was like a fine wine
Slave to you
I am no longer able

Oh if you come back to me
if you come back
If you returned me
I would be happy once again
But today you are gone
And there is no turning back

Mi Mancherai [Italian]

Mi mancherai se te ne vai
Mi mancherá la tua serenita
Le tue parole come canzoni al vento
E l'amore che ora porti via

Mi mancherai se te ne vai
Ora per sempre non so come vivrei
E l'allegria, amica mia
Va via con te

Mi mancherai, mi mancherai
Perché vai via?
Perché l'amore in te si é spento
Perché, perché?
Non cambiera niente lo so
E dentro sento te

Mi mancherai, mi mancherai
Perché vai via
Perché l'amore in te si é spento
Perché, perché?
Non cambiera niente lo so
E dentro sento che

Mi manchera l'immensita
Dei nostri giorni e notti insieme noi
I tuoi sorrisi quando si fa buio
La tua ingenuita da bambina, tu

Mi mancherai amore mio
Mi guardo e trovo un vuoto
dentro me

E l'allegria, amica mia
Va via con te

I Will Miss You [English]

I’ll miss you, if you go away
I’ll miss your serenity
Your words like songs in the wind
And Love, that you take away

I’ll miss you, if you go away
Now and forever I don’know how to live
And joy, my friend
goes away with you

I’ll miss you, I’ll miss you
Because you go away
Because the love in you is dead
Because, because...
Nothing it’s gonna change, I know
And inside of me I feel you

I’ll miss you, I’ll miss you
Because you go away
Because the love in you is dead
Because, because...
Nothing it’s gonna change, I know
And inside of me I feel you

I’ll miss the immensity
Of our days and nights, us together
Your smiles when it’s getting dark
Your being naive like a little girl

I’ll miss you, my love
I look at myself and I find emptiness
Inside of me

And joy, my friend
Goes away with you

My Confession [English]

I have been blind, unwilling to see
The true love you're giving.
I have ignored every blessing.
I'm on my knees confessing

That I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face.
I am staggered by your beauty,
Your unassuming grace.
And I feel my heart is turning,
Falling into place.
I can't hide
Now hear my confession.

I have been wrong about you.
Thought I was strong without you.
For so long nothing could move me.
For so long nothing could change me.
Now I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face.
I am captured by your beauty,
Your unassuming grace.
And I feel my heart is turning,
Falling into place.
I can't hide
Now hear my confession.

You are the air that I breathe.
You're the ground beneath my feet.
When did I stop believing?

Cause I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face.
I am staggered by your beauty,
Your unassuming grace.
And I feel my heart
Falling into place.
I can't hide
Now hear my confession.
I can't hide
Now hear my confession.
Hear my confession.

Oceano [Italian]

Piove sull'oceano
Piove sull'oceano
Piove sulla mia identità
Lampi sull'oceano
Lampi sull'oceano
Squarci di luminosità
Forse là in America
I venti del Pacifico
Scoprono le sue immensità
Le mie mani stringono
Sogni lontanissimi
E il mio pensiero corre da te
Remo, tremo, sento
Profondi e oscuri abissi
E' per l'amore che ti do
E' per l'amore che non sai
Che mi fai naufragare
E' per l'amore che non ho
E' per l'amore che vorrei
E' per questo dolore
E' questo amore che ho per te
Che mi fa superare queste vere tempeste
Onde sull'oceano
Onde sull'oceano
Che dolcemente si placherà
Le mie mani stringono
Sogni lontanissimi
E il tuo respiro soffia su me
Remo, tremo, sento
Vento in fondo al cuore
E' per l'amore che ho per te
Che mi fa superare mille tempeste
E' per l'amore che ti do
E' per l'amore che vorrei
Da questo mare
E' per la vita che non c'è
Che mi fai naufragare
In fondo al cuore
Tutto questo ti avra
Te e a sembra tutto normale

Ocean [English]

It rains on the Ocean
It rains on the Ocean
It rains on my identity
Lightning on the Ocean
Lightning on the Ocean
Gaps of luminosity
Maybe there in America
the winds of the Pacific
Uncover its immensity
My hands hold tight
some faraway dreams
And my thoughts run to you
I row, I shake, I feel
Deep dark abyss
It's for the love I give you
and for the love you don't know
that makes me wreck
It's for the love I don't have
and for the love I'd want
It's for this pain
It's for this love I have for you
That makes me get over those real storms
Waves on the Ocean
Waves on the Ocean
that will gently calm down
My hands hold tight
some faraway dreams
and your breath blows on me
I row, I shake, I feel
A wind around my heart
It's for the love I have for you
That makes me get over thousands of storms
It's for the love I give you
and for the love I'd want
from this sea
It's for the life that isn't there
that makes me wreck
deep in my heart
All this will have you
and to you everything will seem normal
