Things Are Looking Up

Autor: -Amalthea-

If I should suddenly start to sing
Or stand on my head or anything
Don’t think that I’ve lost my senses
It’s just that my happiness finally commences

The long long ages of dull despair
Are turning into thin air
And it seems that suddenly I’ve
Become the happiest girl alive

Things are looking up
I’ve been looking the landscape over
And it’s covered with four-leaf clover
Things are looking up
Since love looked up at me

Bitter was my cup
But no more will I be the mourner
For I’ve certainly turned the corner
Things are looking up
Since love looked up at me

See the sunbeams
Every one beams
Just because of you
Love’s in session
And my depression
Is unmistakably through

Things are looking up
It’s a great little world we live in
I’m happy as a pup
Since love looked up at me.

(George Gershwin)

Oggi sposi

Autor: -Amalthea-

The past is like an old person
Who has nothing left to say
Pain is like a bed
Where I can no longer sleep
I will place my hopes
On our windowsill
Like red tulips that shall bloom again

And sooner or later
You will come back on the road
That crosses my life
With my caresses
I will cure your wounded soul
And looking into each other’s eyes
We will discover sweetly
That pretending to leave each other
Didn’t help anything

For you
I will ask Spring
To stay all year
I will give you love potions
Without deception, without cheating
In order to find back into your heart
And I will help you loving me
Until the last tomorrow
Like our first day together
Smiling to our pain
The way you do when your love is real

Years pass for everybody
And we have changed, too
Now we are more the masters of our destinies
Perhaps a little less in love
But now it is more than hope
To go back to being who we were
When one morning
We awakened hand in hand

Come
Let us call our old friends
And invite our relatives
All elegantly dressed
We may be crazy, but we’re happy
And let’s shout to all of them:

I will help you loving me
Until the last tomorrow
Like our first day together
Smiling to our pain
The way you do when your love is real

It was good to find each other again
And now, while you’re resting
I climb up to the sky and with the paint brush
I write there for you: "Married today".

Nice Work If You Can Get It

Autor: -Amalthea-

The man who only lives for making money
Lives a life that isn’t necessarily sunny
Likewise the man who works for fame
There’s no guarantee that time won’t erase his name

The fact is
The only work that really brings enjoyment
Is the kind that is for girl and boy meant
Fall in love, you won’t regret it,
That’s the best work of all if you can get it.

Holding hands at midnight
‘Neath a starry sky
Nice work if you can get it,
And you can get it if you try

Strolling with the one girl
Sighing sigh after sigh
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try.

(George Gershwin)

Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?

Loving one who loves you
And then taking that vow
Nice work if you can get it
And if you get it
Won’t you tell me how?

(George Gershwin)

Die Schule der Tiere

Autor: -Amalthea-

Eines Tages versammelten sich die Tiere im Wald und beschlossen, eine Schule zu gründen. Ein Kaninchen, ein Vogel, ein Eichhörnchen, eine Forelle und ein Aal bildeten den Schulausschuss.
Das Kaninchen bestand darauf, dass Laufen in den Lehrplan aufgenommen wurde. Der Vogel bestand darauf, dass Fliegen aufgenommen wurde. Die Forelle bestand darauf, dass Fliegen aufgenommen wurde und das Eichhörnchen war der Ansicht, dass auch Klettern absolut unerlässlich sei.
Sie nahmen also all diese Dinge und machten daraus einen verbindlichen Lehrplan. Dann beschlossen sie, dass alle Tiere diese Fächer absolvieren mussten.

Das Kaninchen bekam zwar eine 1 im Laufen, doch das Klettern erwies sich als echtes Problem. Es fiel immer wieder rückwärts hinunter. Bald war es leicht hirngeschädigt und konnte auch nicht mehr richtig laufen. Nun bekam es statt einer 1 nur noch eine 3 im Laufen und natürlich immer noch eine 6 im Klettern.
Der Vogel war wirklich wunderbar beim Fliegen, doch wenn es ums Schwimmen ging, hatte er ziemliche Probleme. Seine Federn wurden nass und ständig ging ihm die Luft aus. Bald bekam er nur noch eine 3 im Fliegen und eine 6 im Schwimmen und beim Klettern stellte er sich ebenfalls grauenhaft an.

Das Tier, dass schließlich Klassenbester wurde, war ein geistig zurückgebliebener Aal, der in allem mittelmäßig war.

Doch die Lehrer waren glücklich, weil alle Schüler alle Fächer belegt hatten, und sie nannten das eine „breit gefächerte“ Erziehung.

When Love Arrives

Autor: -Amalthea-

When love arrives, it’s hard to tell
He doesn’t ring the front door bell
He doesn’t wait politely in the hall
Or leave his card

He doesn’t wait to wipe his feet
In fact he’s not at all discreet
He doesn’t phone to warn you
He will call and means to stay
He may not come when you’re expecting him to visit

But if he does, make sure he finds you home
Surrender now, for what’s the use?
And wave that friendly flag of truce
Just rush right out to greet him
Don’t hesitate at all, dear
You’ll bless the day that love rings your bell!

(Andrew Lloyd Webber, "By Jeeves")

Being Alive

Autor: -Amalthea-

Someone to hold you too close
Someone to hurt you too deep
Someone to sit in your chair
And ruin your sleep
And make you aware of being alive

Someone to need you too much
Someone to know you too well
Someone to pull you up short
And put you through hell
And give you support for being alive

Make me alive
Make me confused
Mock me with praise
Let me be used
Vary my days
But alone is alone, not alive

Somebody hold me too close
Somebody force me to care
Somebody make me come through
I’ll always be there
As frightened as you of being alive

Someone you have to let in
Someone whose feelings you spare
Someone who, like it or not
Will want you to share a little, a lot of being alive

Make me alive
Make me confused
Mock me with praise
Let me be used
Vary my days
But alone is alone, not alive

Somebody crowd me with love
Somebody force me to care
Somebody make me come through
I’ll always be there
As frightened as you to help us survive
Being alive

(Stephen Sondheim, "Company")
