Brucia La Terra
Music by Nino Rota
Sicilian Lyric by Giuseppe Rinaldi
The Godfather III
Columbia, 1990


Brucia la luna n'cielu
E ju bruciu d'amuri
Focu ca si consuma
Comu lu me cori

L'anima chianci
Addulurata

Non si da paci
Ma cchi mala nuttata

Lu tempu passa
Ma non agghiorna
Non c'e mai suli
S'idda non torna

Brucia la terra mia
E abbrucia lu me cori
Cchi siti d'acqua idda
E ju siti d'amuri

Acu la cantu
La me canzuni

Si no c'e nuddu
Ca s'a affacia
A lu barcuni

Brucia la luna n'cielu
E ju bruciu d'amuri
Focu ca si consuma
Comu lu me cori

English Translation


The moon is burning in the sky
And I am burning with love
The fire that is consumed
Like my heart

My soul crys
Painfully

I'm not at peace
What a terrible night

The time passes
But there is no dawn
There is no sunshine
If she doesn't return

My earth is burning
And my heart is burning
What she thirsts for water
I thirst for love

Who will I sing
My song to

If there is no one
Who shows herself
On the balcony

The moon is burning in the sky
And I am burning with love
The fire that is consumed
Like my heart

Lyric - Blue Bayou (Roy Orbison, 1963)

Blue Bayou
Written by Roy Orbison & Joe Melson
Monument, August 1, 1963


I feel so bad I've got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind on blue bayou

Saving nickels, saving dimes, working till the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times on blue bayou

I'm going back some day come what may to blue bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on blue bayou

All those fishing boats with their sails afloat if I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be

Go to see my baby again
And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy then on blue bayou

I'm going back some day, gonna stay on blue bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on blue bayou
Oh, that girl of mine by my side
The silver moon and the evening tide
Oh, some sweet day gonna take away this hurtin inside

I'll never be blue, my dreams come true on blue bayou

Lyric - Billie Jean (Michael Jackson, 1983)

Billie Jean

Written & Recorded by Michael Jackson

Epic 1983

1st verse

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene

I said dont mind, but what do you mean I am the one

Who will dance on the floor in the round

She said I am the one who will dance on the floor in the round

2nd verse

She told me her name was billie jean, as she caused a scene

Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one

Who will dance on the floor in the round

Bridge

People always told me be careful of what you do

And dont go around breaking young girls' hearts

And mother always told me be careful of who you love

And be careful of what you do cause the lie becomes the truth

Chorus

Billie jean is not my lover

Shes just a girl who claims that I am the one

But the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

3rd verse

For forty days and forty nights

The law was on her side

But who can stand when shes in demand

Her schemes and plans

cause we danced on the floor in the round

So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice

(do think twice)

4th verse

She told my baby,we where dancing still 3:00

Then she looked at me, she show me a photo

My baby cried, cause his eyes where like mine

cause we danced on the floor in the round

Bridge

People always told me be careful of what you do

And dont go around breaking young girls' hearts

She came and stood right by me

Then the smell of sweet perfume

This happened much too soon

She called me to her room

Chorus

Billie jean is not my lover

Shes just a girl who claims that I am the one

But the kid is not my son

Billie jean is not my lover

Shes just a girl who claims that I am the one

But the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

Billie jean is not my lover

Shes just a girl who claims that I am the one

But the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, she says he is my son

She says I am the one

Billie jean is not my lover

Billie jean is not my lover

Billie jean is not my lover

Billie jean is not my lover

Billie jean is not my lover

Billie jean is not my lover

Lyric - Bella Luna

Bella Luna

Recorded by Jason MrAZ

2005

Mystery the moon

A hole in the sky

A supernatural nightlight

So full but often right

A pair of eyes a closin' one

A chosen child of golden sun

A marble dog that chases cars

To farthest reaches of the beach and far beyond into the swimming sea of stars

A cosmic fish they love to kiss

They're giving birth to constellation

No riffs and oh no reservation

If they should fall you get a wish or dedication

May I suggest you get the best

For nothing less than you and I

Let's take a chance as this romance is rising over before we lose the lighting

Oh bella bella please

Bella you beautiful luna

Oh bella do what you do

Do do do do do

You are an illuminating anchor

Of leagues to infinite number

Crashing waves and breaking thunder

Tiding the ebb and flows of hunger

You're dancing naked there for me

You expose all memory

You make the most of boundary

You're the ghost of royalty imposing love

You are the queen and king combining everything

Intertwining like a ring around the finger of a girl

I'm just a singer, you're the world

All I can bring ya

Is the language of a lover

Bella luna, my beautiful, beautiful moon

How you swoon me like no other

May I suggest you get the best

Of your wish may I insist

That no contest for little you or smaller I

A larger chance happened, all them they lie

On the rise, on the brink of our lives

Bella please

Bella you beautiful luna

Oh bella do what you do

Bella luna, my beautiful, beautiful moon

How you swoon me like no other, oh oh oh

Lyric - Ben

Ben

Written by Don Black and Walter Scharf

Recorded by Michael Jackson

Motown 1972

Ben, the two of us need look no more 

We both found what we were looking for 

With a friend to call my own 

I'll never be alone 

And you, my friend, will see 

You've got a friend in me 

(you've got a friend in me) 

Ben, you're always running here and there 

You feel you're not wanted anywhere 

If you ever look behind 

And don't like what you find 

There's one thing you should know 

You've got a place to go 

(you've got a place to go) 

I used to say "I" and "me" 

Now it's "us", now it's "we" 

I used to say "I" and "me" 

Now it's "us", now it's "we" 

Ben, most people would turn you away 

I don't listen to a word they say 

They don't see you as I do 

I wish they would try to 

I'm sure they'd think again 

If they had a friend like Ben 

(a friend) Like Ben 

(like Ben) Like Ben
