Forza Dentro Me / Strength within me / Fuerza Dentro De Mí

Words by Francesca Leardini / Music by Jeffrey Silverman; Produced and co-orchestrated by Jeffrey Silverman.

Orchestrated and arranged by Nathanael Pangrazio.

Sorridi e mi guardi, non sai più chi sono, svanito è il ricordo in te.

Le tue parole sono frammenti ormai di memoria fra noi.

You look at me and smile.

You no longer know who I am, as your memories vanish.

Your words are now fragments of recollections between us.

Sonríes y me miras, Ya no sabes quién soy, desvanecido el recuerdo dentro de ti.

Tus palabras son ya fragmentos del recuerdo entre nosotros.

Ma in un abbraccio, si sciolgon le parole e il coraggio ritrovo in me.

Resta tutto il bene che m’hai dato, mia gemma colorata, forza dentro me.

But in an embrace, words melt, and I rediscover courage inside of me.

All the love you once gave me remains with me.

You are my precious jewel, the strength within me.

Pero en un abrazo se esconden las palabras y encuentro el coraje dentro de mí.

Queda todo el bien que me has dado, mi joya colorada, fuerza dentro de mí.

Qui il colore dei campi, è più intenso che altrove, ogni volta che torno da te.

C’è ancora quel viale, e il cortile nel sole, la tua stanza è un vortice di ricordi.

Here the colors of the fields are more intense than anywhere else, every time I come back to you.

The avenue and the sun-drenched courtyard remain as I recall.

Your room is a whirl of memories.

Acá el color de los campos, es más intenso que en otros sitios, cada vez que vuelvo, de tí, Aún queda aquel camino, y el patio al sol, tu habitación es un remolino de recuerdos.

Ma in un abbraccio...

But in an embrace...

Pero en un abrazo...

La tua favola quella del gabbiano e del pesce in fondo al mare raccontami.

Aggrappati forte, io non ti lascio andar, non c’è più tempo per il nostro orgoglio.

Tell me again your tale of the seagull and the fish deep in the ocean.

Hold on tight, I won’t let you go, There’s no longer time for pride.

Tu cuento aquel de la gaviota y el pez en el fondo del mar, cuéntamelo.

Agárrate fuerte, yo no te dejo ir, no queda tiempo para nuestro orgullo.

Mi sfugge il senso, di questo viaggio, ma adesso resta con me.

The sense of this journey slips away from me, but stay with me now.

No veo el sentido, de este viaje, pero se queda ahora conmigo.

Ma in un abbraccio...

But in an embrace...

Pero en un abrazo...

Porque Será? / Why should it be so?

by Mario Ruiz Armengol

In memory of the pianist Daniel Villegas. Produced by Jesús León. Orchestrated and arranged by Nathanael Pangrazio.

Porque será? porque será?

Que al entregar sin reservas el alma, y cuando estamos seguros de un gran amor se va, ay!

Why should it be so? Why should it be so?

That when we open up our hearts completely, when we are so sure that we have found a great love, it disappears…oh!

Porque será? porque será?

Que aquella dicha que tanto anhelamos, es como un ave de paso al amanecer fugaz...

Why should it be so? Why should it be so?

That the happiness we so deeply desire is fleeting, like a bird of passage that flies off at dawn…

Yo me pregunto si regresara, si en la distancia me recordara!

I wonder if you will come back, if in the future you will remember me, Oh!

Igual que yo, que al regresar, le pido al cielo con todas mis fuerzas, que si al correr de los años la vuelvo a ver, no haya olvidado que un atardecer besó mis labios y juro volver.

Also, if you come back, if, with the passing of time I ever see you again, I pray sincerely to the heavens that you will not have forgotten how one sunset you kissed me on my lips and promised to return.

Divina Mujer / Divine Woman

by Jorge del Moral

Produced by Jeffrey Silverman. Orchestrated and arranged by Nathanael Pangrazio.

Como una dulce visión, apareciste ante mí y fuiste una ensoñación; las más hermosa que vi, como corona imperial tus cabellos de oro son, y de blancura ideal, es tu rostro angelical.

You came before me Like a sweet vision And you were a dream; The most beautiful that I have ever seen, Your golden hair Like an imperial crown And your angelic face Pure white.

Tu divina mujer, como aquellas hadas de un cuento de amor, tu en mi corazón has dejado un suave perfume de flor;

Like an enchantress in a tale of love, You, divine woman, Have left the silky fragrance of flowers lingering in my heart

Y yo pronunciaré, como una oración tu nombre diré, ¡Oh!, divina mujer postrera ilusión con que moriré.

And I Will say your name like a prayer, Oh! Divine womaun, may you be my love until the day that I die.

Cuando me vaya / When I am gone

by María Grever

Produced, orchestrated and arranged by Nathanael Pangrazio.

Fuimos tontos los dos, yo en adorarte y tu en recompensarme con traición.

Si me alejo de ti, es por complacerte mas nunca dejaré de quererte.

We were crazy the two of us I in my love for you and you in returning my love with betrayal.

If I walk away from you it’s to please you But I will never stop wanting you.

Cuando me vaya, por mi llorarás, y estando a solas quiza te dirás que injustamente la hice sufrir si por mis celos sentía morir

When I am gone, you will cry for me And when you are by yourself, maybe you will say That I was wrong to make you suffer, That my passions made you feel like dying.

Cuando me vaya, tal vez pensarás que otros amores sabre conquistar dentro de tu alma quiza sentirás los mismos celos que me hiciste pasar Cuando me vaya se que por mi llorarás.

When I am gone, perhaps you will think That I will have other loves to conquer Deep down inside perhaps you will feel the same passion that you made me feel When I am gone, I know that you will cry for me.

Te Quiero Dijiste / I Love You, You Said

by María Grever

Produced and co-orchestrated by Rafael Moreno. Orchestrated and arranged by Nathanael Pangrazio.

Te quiero dijiste Tomando mis manos Entre tus manitas De blanco marfil Y senti en mi pecho Un fuerte latido Después un suspiro Y luego el chasquido De un beso febril

I love you you said Taking my hands Into your little hands Of white ivory And I felt in my chest A heavy pang Then a sigh And next the spark Of a feverish kiss

Muñequita linda De cabellos de oro De dientes de perlas Labios de rubi Dime si me quieres Como yo te adoro Si de mi te acuerdas Como yo de ti

Pretty little doll Of golden hair Of teeth of pearls Ruby lips Tell me if you love me As I love you If you remember me As I do you

A veces escucho Un eco divino Que envuelto en la brisa Parece decir Si te quiero mucho Mucho mucho mucho Tanto como entonces Siempre hasta morir

Sometimes I hear A divine echo Enveloped in the wind It seems to say Yes, I really love you So very much As much as then Until I die

Ya No Me Quieres / You Don’t Want Me Anymore

Produced by Jesús León.. Orchestrated and arranged by Nathanael Pangrazio.

by María Grever

Tuya soy, y siempre lo seré un dia dijiste temblorosa de pasión Dí porque con tu silencio cruel ahora pretendes destrozar nuestra ilusión.

One day you said, trembling with passion That I am and always will be yours Now tell me why you intend to destroy our love with your cruel silence.

Ya no te acuerdas de mi ya no me quieres y por no hacerme sufrir Callar prefieres Si has encontrado una nueva ilusión No me lo niegues más nunca trates de fingirme amor porque me hieres.

You don’t remember me anymore, You don’t want me and you prefer to be silent Rather than to make me suffer If you have found a new love Don’t deny it But don’t ever pretend to love me Because this hurts me.

Yo por estar junto a ti, No se que diera y por besarte abrazarte la vida entera Quiero fundir en la llama de amor nuestros dos seres, Más tu no quieres volver Ya no me quieres.....

I don’t know what I should say to kiss you again and be with you for the rest of our lives I wish our two hearts Could melt together in the fire of love But you don’t want to come back You don’t want me any more.

Tengo Nostalgia de Tí / Nostalgia for You

by Tata Nacho

Produced, Orchestrated and arranged by Nathanael Pangrazio.

Tengo nostalgia de tí, Amado mío, Llevo tristeza en el alma Tenaz y cruel.

Hay una lágrima roja En mi pobre corazón,

Nostalgia for you My love I carry saddened in my soul.

Relentless and cruel There is a red teardrop In my poor heart.

Sabes porqué?

Mi dulce bien Porque sin tí, Sin tu cariño no sé vivir.

Do you know why My sweet love?

Because without you, Without your love I do not know how to live.

Tengo una extraña amistad Con la tristeza, Y es mi sola compañera La soledad.

Es el llanto de mis ojos Más amargo que la hiel.

I have a strange friendship With sadness.

She is my only companion.

Sadness.

She is the weeping of my eyes Much bitter than bile.

Sabes porqué?.

Do you know why...

Tu, La Vida / You, Dear life

by Luis Saglie

Produced by Luis Saglie Orchestrated and arranged by Nathanael Pangrazio.

Un suspiro tan presente en mi Luz del cielo que entrega paz cuanto tiempo que no quise ver tu mirada fiel, y pura, como un ser rendido al amor.

A sigh so present within me Light from heaven which bids peace Oh, how long I failed to see Your honest and pure stare Like a soul submerged in love

Lágrimas tan dulces que me logran dar Sueños de esperanza y poder volar Y por eso me pregunto yo, porque no pude ver tu fuerza y arrullarme en tu amor.

Tears so sweet which manage to give me Dreams of hope and being able to soar And that is why I ask myself, Why was it that I could not see your strength And embrace myself in your love

Tu, la vida, amiga, tan tierna la vida, regalo del cielo Tu, la vida, amiga, un lindo regalo tierna, Tu, La Vida.

You, dear life, friend, oh tender life Gift from above You, dear life, friend, A wonderful gift Tender friend, You, dear life

Cada vez que me apoyo en ti, me demuestras que no me dejarás nunca te irás puedo ver tu fuerza, y sentir tu amor.

Every time that I lean on you You prove to me you will never leave me I can see your strength And feel your love

Tu, la vida, amiga, tan tierna la vida, regalo del cielo Tu, la vida, amiga, mi alma cantará, cantará, a ti La Vida. regalo del cielo. tu, la vida, amiga, mi alma te cantará, cantará, A ti la vida, te cantará.

You, dear life, friend, oh tender life Gift from above You, dear life, tender friend, My soul will sing out to you, dear life Gift from above, You, dear life tender friend, My soul will sing out to you My soul will sing to you, dear life

“How strange music is... somehow, as I hear my own music written in memory of these children, I can see their bright innocent eyes looking down at me.... smiling.... and my eyes water... what words could describe this? ”

“ Que curiosa es la musica.............de alguna manera, al escuchar mi propia musica escrita en memoria de estos ninos, puedo ver sus ojos inocentes y brillantes mirandome... sonriendome...y mis ojos derraman lagrimas...que palabras podrian describirlo?”

Luis Saglie, composer – En Memoria a los Niños ABC

Nella Fantasia / In My Fantasy / En Mí Fantasia

by Ennio Morricone

Produced by Jeffrey Silverman. Orchestrated and arranged by Nathanael Pangrazio.

Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo giusto, Li tutti vivono in pace e in onestà.

Io sogno d’anime che sono sempre libere, Come le nuvole che volano, Pien’ d’umanità in fondo all’anima.

In my fantasy I see a just world, Where everyone lives in peace and honesty.

I dream of souls that are always free Like the clouds that float Full of humanity in the depths of the soul.

Buongiorno a Te / Good Morning to You / Buen Día a Tí

by V.Giannetti /M.Centonze /S.Nanni

Produced, orchestrated and arranged by Rafael Moreno

Buongiorno a questo giorno che si sveglia oggi con me, buongiorno al latte ed al caffè, buongiorno a chi non c’è... ...e al mio amore buongiorno per dirle che lei, che per prima al mattino veder’io vorrei. È un giorno nuovo e spero che sia buono anche per te.

Good morning to the day that’s waking up today with me, good morning to the milk and the coffee, good morning to everyone, even those not here with me... ...and good morning to my love to tell her it’s her I want to see first every morning.

It’s a new day and I hope it’ll be a good one for you too.

Buongiorno voce, vita mia, buongiorno fantasia, buongiorno musica che sei l’oblio dei giorni miei... ...e a coloro che aiutan chi non ce la fa, per donar loro un giorno che migliorerà... È un giorno nuovo, e poi chissà, se il mondo cambierà e ballerà

Good morning voice, my life, good morning fantasy, good morning music, I lose myself in you...and good morning to the people who help those who can’t help themselves, to give them a better day.

It’s a new day and now, who knows, the world may change, and start to dance.

Come un walzer, la vita danzarla dovrai, è un vestito da sera che tu indosserai, è una festa con mille invitati, un po’ belli e un po’ odiati, con cui ballerai.

Ma è danzando la vita che tu imparerai che ogni grande proposito è un passo che fai. È un giorno nuovo anche per te, festeggialo con me.

Life is like a waltz to be danced, a ball-gown you’ll put on, a party with a thousand guests, some good, some bad, with whom you’ll dance.

But it’s by dancing through like that you’ll learn that every good intention is a new step for you. It’s a new day, for you too, celebrate it with me.

Buongiorno cari figli miei, buongiornoa tutti voi.

Pensate al giorno che verrà, come una novità, ed un dono inatteso che vi arrichirà, di una nuova esperienza che si può ballar.

Un passo nuovo e un altro ancor, e il mondo cambierà e ballerà.

Good morning my dear children, good morning to all of you.

Think of the coming day as a new chance, an unexpected gift to enrich your life, a new experience to be danced through.

One new step, and another, and the world will change, and start to dance.

Come un walzer...

Ma è danzando la vita che tu imparerai che ogni grande proposito è un passo che fai. È un giorno nuovo e prego che sia tutto da ballar con te!

Life is like a waltz...

But it’s by dancing through like that you’ll learn that every good intention is a new step for you. It’s a new day, and I pray that I’ll spend it all dancing with you!

En mi fantasía veo un mundo justo.

Todos vivimos en paz y honestidad.

Sueño con almas que son siempre libres como las nubes que vuelan, llenas de humanidad en el fondo del alma.

Respira / Breathe / Respira

Words by Francesca Leardini / Music by Jeffrey Silverman. Produced, orchestrated and arranged by Jeffrey Silverman Notte d’agosto sul tuo balcone, Campi di granturco laggiù, Mi parlavi dell’Orsa maggiore E di suoni nascosti nel blu…

August night out on your balcony, cornfields in the distance, you were telling me about the Great Bear and of sounds hidden in the dark…

Noche de agosto en tu balcón, campos de trigo más allá, me hablabas de la Osa mayor y de los sonidos escondidos en el cielo…

Respira piano, non far rumore, Canta la semplicità; Respira il fiume, la foglia, il vento, Tutto in unità.

Breathe softly, don’t make a noise, let simplicity sing.

The river, the leaf, the wind breathe, all in deep unity.

Respira despacio, no hagas ruido, canta la simplicidad; respira el río, la niebla, el viento, todo en unidad.

Un coro di voci diverse, Più forte risuona in me, La stessa scintilla d’amore Batte nel mio cuore, Batte nel tuo cuore, Insieme…

A choir of different voices, more and more strongly reverberates in me.

It is the same sparkle of love, that beats in my heart, that beats in our heart, together…

Un coro de voces diversas, más fuerte resuena en mí, la misma chispa de amor golpea en mi corazón, golpea en tu corazón, juntos….

Giocano i grilli qui in mezzo all’erba, Vuota è la tua sedia di già, Ma nel buio un’orchestra suona, Silenziosa vivacità.

E penso a te, E penso a te…

Crickets are singing in the grass, your chair is empty now, but an orchestra plays in the dark, silent liveliness.

And I think about you, I think about you…

Juegan los grillos aquí en mitad del pasto, vacía está tu silla, y sin embargo en el ruido suena una orquesta, silenciosa vivacidad, y pienso en ti, y pienso en ti…

Respira piano...

Breathe softly...

Respira despacio...

You’re the last note of a song that I would not sing for not finishing it. Instead, I would leave it with a pause to last an eternity ...

Tu eres la ultima nota de una canción que no me gustaría cantar por no acabarla. En vez, me gustaría dejarla con una pausa para que dure una eternidad...

Jes ús
