De mooiste musical- en operaliederen bij jou thuis


1. ‘OUVERTURE GETHSEMANE’ - JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR I only want to say If there is a way Take this cup away from me For I don’t want to taste its poison Feel it burn me, I have changed I’m not as sure as when we started Then I was inspired Now I’m sad and tired Listen, surely I’ve exceeded expectations? Tried for three years, seems like thirty Could you ask as much from any other man? But if I die See the saga through and do the things you ask of me Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me, nail me to their tree I’d wanna know, I’d wanna know my God I’d wanna see, I’d wanna see my God Why I should die? Would I be more noticed than I ever was before? Would the things I’ve said and done matter any more? I’d have to know, I’d have to know my Lord I’d have to see, I’d have to see my Lord If I die, what will be my reward? I’d have to know, I’d have to know my Lord Why should I die? Can you show me now that I would not be killed in vain? Show me just a little of your omnipresent brain Show me there’s a reason for your wanting me to die You’re far too keen on ‘where’ and ‘how’ and not so hot on ‘why’ Alright, I’ll die! Just watch me die! See how I die!

Then I was inspired Now, I’m sad and tired After all I’ve tried for three years Seems like ninety - why, then, am I Scared to finish what I started? What you started! - I didn’t start it! God, thy will is hard But you hold every card I will drink your cup of poison Nail me to your cross and break me Bleed me, beat me, kill me, take me now Before I change my mind!

2. ‘NON PIU MESTA’ - LA CERENTENTOLA Non più mesta accanto al fuoco Starò sola a gorgheggiar, no Ah fu un lampo, un sogno, un gioco Il mio lungo palpitar Non più mesta accanto al fuoco Non più mesta accanto al fuoco Starò sola a gorgheggiar, no Ah fu un lampo, un sogno, un gioco Il mio lungo palpitar Non più mesta accanto al fuoco Non più mesta accanto al fuoco Starò sola a gorgheggiar Ah fu un lampo, un sogno, un gioco Il mio lungo palpitar Ah fu un lampo, un sogno, un gioco Ah fu un lampo, un sogno, un gioco Il mio lungo palpitar Ah fu un lampo, un sogno, un gioco Ah fu un lampo, un sogno, un gioco Il mio lungo palpitar Ah fu un gioco, ah fu un gioco Ah fu un gioco, ah fu un gioco Il mio lungo palpitar Il mio lungo palpitar Il sospirar Il sospirar Il sospirar


4. ‘KISS OF A SPIDER WOMAN’ - KISS OF A SPIDER WOMAN

3. ‘ALL I ASK’ - PHANTOM OF THE OPERA [Rein Kolpa] No more talk of darkness Forget these wide-eyed fears I’m here, nothing can harm you My words will warm and calm you Let me be your freedom Let daylight dry your tears I’m here, with you, beside you To guard you and to guide you [Karin Strobos] Say you love me every waking moment Turn my head with talk of summertime Say you need me with you now and always Promise me that all you say is true That’s all I ask of you [Rein Kolpa] Let me be your shelter Let me be your light You’re safe, no one will find you Your fears are far behind you [Karin Strobos] All I want is freedom A world with no more night And you, always beside me To hold me and to hide me

[Rein Kolpa] Then say you’ll share with me One love, one lifetime Let me lead you from your solitude Say you need me with you here, beside you Anywhere you go, let me go too Christine, that’s all I ask of you [Karin Strobos] Say you’ll share with me One love, one lifetime Say the word and I will follow you [Together] Share each day with me Each night, each morning [Karin Strobos] Say you love me [Rein Kolpa] You know I do [Together] Love me—that’s all I ask of you Anywhere you go, let me go too Love me—that’s all I ask of you

Sooner or later You’re certain to meet In the bedroom, the parlor or even the street There’s no place on earth You’re likely to miss Her kiss Sooner or later In sunlight or gloom When the red candles flicker She’ll walk in the room And the curtains will shake and the fire will hiss Here comes her kiss And the moon grows dimmer At the tide’s low ebb And her black beads shimmer And you’re aching to move But you’re caught in the web Of the Spider Woman In her velvet cape You can scream But you cannot escape Sooner or later your love will arrive And she touches your heart You’re alert and alive But there’s only one pin That can puncture such bliss Her kiss Sooner or later you bathe in success And your minions salute They say nothing but “YES” But your power is empty It fades like the mist Once you’ve been kissed And the moon grows dimmer At the tide’s low ebb And your breath comes faster And you’re aching to move But you’re caught in the web Of the Spider Woman In her velvet cape You can run You can scream You can hide But you cannot escape!


5. LE JARDIN FÉERIQUE’ - MA MERE L’OYE

7. ‘SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME’ - OH KAY

(Only Instrumental)

There’s a saying old says that love is blind Still we’re often told, “seek and ye shall find” So I’m going to seek a certain lad I’ve had in mind Looking everywhere, haven’t found him yet

6. ‘THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM’ - MAN OF LA MANCHA It is the mission of each true knight... His duty... nay, his privilege! To dream the impossible dream, To fight the unbeatable foe, To bear with unbearable sorrow To run where the brave dare not go; To right the unrightable wrong. To love, pure and chaste, from afar, To try, when your arms are too weary, To reach the unreachable star! This is my Quest to follow that star, No matter how hopeless, no matter how far, To fight for the right Without question or pause, To be willing to march into hell For a heavenly cause! And I know, if I’ll only be true To this glorious Quest, That my heart will lie peaceful and calm When I’m laid to my rest. And the world will be better for this, That one man, scorned and covered with scars, Still strove, with his last ounce of courage, To reach the unreachable stars!

He’s the big affair I cannot forget Only man I ever think of with regret I’d like to add his initial to my monogram Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

There’s a somebody I’m longing to see I hope that he turns out to be Someone who’ll watch over me I’m a little lamb who’s lost in the wood I know I could always be good Someone who’ll watch over me Although he may not be the man some Girls think of as handsome To my heart he carries the key Won’t you tell him please to put on some speed Follow my lead, oh, how I need Someone to watch over me.


8. ‘MEMORIES’ - CATS Midnight, not a sound from the pavement Has the moon lost her memory? She is smiling alone In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet And the wind begins to moan Memory, all alone in the moonlight I can smile at the old days I was beautiful then I remember the time I knew what happiness was Let the memory live again Every streetlamp seems to beat A fatalistic warning Someone mutters and the streetlamp gutters And soon It will be morning Daylight I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life And I mustn’t give in When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too And a new day will begin Burnt-out ends of smokey days The stale cold smell of morning The street lamp dies, another night is over Another day is dawning [Optional Verse] Sunlight through the trees in summer Endless masquerading Like a flower, as the day is breaking The memory is fading Touch me It’s so easy to leave me All alone with my memory Of my days in the sun If you touch me, you’ll understand what happiness is Look, a new day has begun

9. ‘WHAT ABOUT LOVE’ COLOUR PURPLE [Brigitte Heitzer] Is that me who’s floating away Lifted up to the clouds by a kiss Never felt nothing like this [Nyassa Alberta] Is that me I don’t recognise ‘Cause the one thing I knew all about I had it all figured out [Brigitte Heitzer] / [Nyassa Alberta] But what about trust? / (What about trust?)

10. THIS IS THE MOMENT - JEKYLL & HYDE This is the moment This is the day When I send all my doubts and demons on their way! Every endeavor I have made ever Is coming into play Here and now, today This is the moment This is the time When the momentum and the moment are in rhyme! Give me this moment This precious chance! I’ll gather up my past And make some sense at last! This is the moment When all I’ve done: All of the dreaming Scheming and screaming Become one! This is the day See it sparkle and shine When all I’ve lived for Becomes mine!

For all these years I’ve faced the world alone! And now the time has come To prove to them: I made it On my own! This is the moment My final test! Destiny beckoned I never reckoned Second best! I won’t look down I must not fall This is the moment The sweetest moment Of them all! This is the moment! Damn all the odds! This day or never I’ll sit forever With the gods! When I look back I will always recall Moment for moment This was the moment The greatest moment Of them all!

11. ONE HAND ONE HEART - WEST SIDE STORY [Rein Kolpa] Make of our hands one hand Make of our hearts one heart Make of our vows one last vow: Only death will part us now [Karin Strobos] Make of our lives one life Day after day, one life [Both] Now it begins, now we start One hand, one heart; Even death won’t part us now Make of our lives one life Day after day, one life Now it begins, now we start One hand, one heart Even death won’t part us now
