2.My Lagan Love

Arranger:Meinir Huelyn

Where Lagan stream sings lullaby
There blows a lily fair
The twilight gleam is in her eye,
The night is on her hair
And, like a love-sick lenanshee,
She hath my hear in thrall;
Nor life I owe, nor liberty,
For Love is Lord of all.
And often when the beetle horn
Hath lulled the eve to sleep,
I steal unto her shilding lorn
And thro' the dooring peep.
There on the cricket's singing stone
She spares the bog wood fire.
And hums in sad sweet undertone
The song of heart's desire.


3.In Trutina

Lyricist:Carl Orff
Writer(s):Carl Orff

In Trutina mentis dubia
fluctuant contraria
lascivus amor et pudicitia
Sed eligo quod video,
collum iugo prebeo:
ad iugum tamen suave transeo.


I am suspended
between love
and chastity,
but I choose
what is before me
and take upon myself the sweet yoke.


4.Panis Angelicus

Lyricist:C Ar Franck
Writer(s):C Ar Franck
Mixing:Julian Smith

Panis Angelicus
Fit panis hominum;
Dat panis coelicus
Figuris terminum
O res mirabilis!
Manducat Dominum.
Pauper, pauper,
Sevus et humilis.


Heavenly Bread
That becomes the bread for all mankind;
Bread from the angelic host
That is the end of all imaginings
Oh, miraculous thing!
This body of God will nourish
Even the poorest,
The most humble of servants.
Even the poorest,
The most humble of servants.


5.Amazing Grace

Arranger:Julian Smith

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now I'm found,
Was blind but now I see.
T'was grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fear relieved.
How precious did that grace appear.
The hour will lead us home.

Though many dangers, toils and snares,
We have already come.
T'was grace that brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home.

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun;
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Then when we first begun.


6.Just Wave Hello(Ford Global Anthem)

Lyrics:Danny Beckerman
Music:Danny Beckerman

Just leave all your troubles behind now
My way is clear and true
Reach into the light
That shines in you.

E giunta l'ora del desio
*Engilsh Translation
(This is the hour of destiny)
All around the world
Questo e il momento dell'addio


(This is the moment of goodbye)
All around the world
The dawn is rising on a new day
Time for us to go
The shadows fall and quickly fade away
Time to wave hello

It's time to go now
Time to wave hello now
Let your dreams be wings
That fly as far as the stars

It's time to wave hello
All around the world we go
Shadows fall behind us
As we follow the Sun
That moment has come
It's time to wave hello

It's time to go now
Time to wave hello now
Raise your hands and show the world
And tell everyone the moment has come
It's time to wave hello.

Just wave hello, Just wave hello
Just wave hello


7.La Pastorella

Lyricist:Gioachino Rossini
Writer(s):Gioachino Rossini
Mixing:Julian Smith

Son bella pastorella, che scende ogni mattino,
Ed offre un cestellino di fresche fruta a fior
Chi viene al primo albore avra vezzoso rose
E pmo rugiadose, venite al mio giardin.
Son bella pastorella, che scende ogni mattino
Ed offre un cestellino di fresche fruta a fior.
Ah.

Chi nel notturno orrore smarri la buona via
Alla capanna mia ritrovera il cammin
Venita, o passagiero
La pastorella e qua
Ma il fior del suo pensiero
Ad uno sol dara! Ah.


I am the beautiful shepherdess,
who descends every morning,
and offers a basket full of
fresh fruit and flowers.
Who comes on the first harvest
will have nice roses
and very good pommels
come to my garden.
I am the beautiful shepherdess,
who descends every morning,
and offers a basket full of
fresh fruit and flowers.
Ah.

which during the frightened night
the right way is lost,
in my shelter
you will find the fireplace
come, oh passer-by
the shepherdess is here,
but her inner thoughts
will only be given to one!
Come, oh passer-by,
the sheperdess is here,
but her inner thoughts
will only be given to one!
Ah.


8.She Moved Through the Fair

Arranger:Julian Smith

My young love said to me 'My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind'
And she stepped away from me and this she did say,
'It will not be long, love, till our wedding day'

She stepped away from me, and she went thro' the fair.
And fondly I watched her move here and move there.
And then she went homeward with one star awake,
As the swan in the evening moves over the lake.

Last night she came to me, she came softly in,
So softly she came that her feet made no din.
And she laid her hand on me, and this she did say
'It will not be long love, till our wedding day'


9.Ave Maria

Ave Maria, gratia plena
Dominus tecum benedicta tu in mulieribus
Et benedictus fructus ventris tuis Jesus
Sancta Maria, Sancta Maria, Maria
Ora pro nobis
Nobis peccatoribus
Nunc et in hora, in hora mortis nostrae
Amen. Amen.


10.Dream A Dream(Elysium)

Written:J.Sherman/S.Babenia/S.Greenaway/G.Faure
Vocal:Charlotte Church/Billy Gilman

When the night is still
And the sea is calm
Lonely shadow, you call upon me

Lay by my side
Fear not tonight
Lonely shadow, you'll find a new light

Dream a dream
And see through angels eyes
A place where we can fly away

Ride with me upon a shining star,
Above the moonlit sky
We will find Elysium

Hear the nightingale
Sing a lullaby
Lonely shadow, you'll find a new light

Dawn will be kind,
All will be bright,
Lonely shadow, rise from the darkness

Dream a dream, etc.


11.Flower Duet

Sous le dome epais
ou le blanc jasmin
A la rose sÕassemble,
Sur la rive en fleurs,
riant au matin,
Viens, descendons ensemble.

Doucement glissons;
De son flot charmant
Suivons le courant
fuyant; Dans
lÕonde fremissante.
DÕune main nonchalante,

Viens, gagnons le bord
Ou la souree dort.
Et lÕoiseau,
lÕoiseau chante.

Sous le dome epais,
Sous le blanc jasmin,
Ah! descendons ensemble!


12.Habanera(From'Carmen')

Quand je vous aimerai?
Ma foi, je ne sais pas,
Peut-tre jamais, peut-tre demain.
Mais pas aujourd'hui, c'est certain.

L'amour est un oiseau rebelle
Que nul ne peut apprivoiser,
Et c'est bien en vain qu'on l'appelle,
S'il lui convient de refuser.
Rien n'y fait, menace ou prire,
L'un parle bien, l'autre se tait;
Et c'est l'autre que je prfre
Il n'a rien dit; mais il me plaît.
L'amour! L'amour! L'amour! L'amour!

L'amour est enfant de Bohme,
Il n'a jamais, jamais connu de loi,
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde toi!
Si tu ne m'aime pas,
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime!
Mais, si je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde toi!
Si tu ne m'aime pas,
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime!
Mais, si je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde toi!

L'oiseau que tu croyais surprendre
Battit de l'aile et s'envola;
L'amour est loin, tu peux l'attendre;
Tu ne l'attend plus, il est l!
Tout autour de toi vite, vite,
Il vient, s'en va, puis il revient!
Tu crois le tenir, il t'vite;
Tu crois l'viter, il te tient!
L'amour, l'amour, l'amour, l'amour!

L'amour est enfant de Bohme,
Il n'a jamais, jamais connu de loi,
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde toi!
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde toi!
Si tu ne m'aime pas,
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime!
Mais, si je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde toi!
Si tu ne m'aime pas,
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime!
Mais, si je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde toi!

**Translation:
When will I love you?
Good lord, I don't know,
Maybe never, maybe tomorrow.
But not today, that's certain.

Love is a rebellious bird
That nothing can tame,
And it is simply in vain to call it
If it is convient for it to refuse.
Nothing will work, threat or pleading,
One speaks, the other stays quiet;
And it's the other that I prefer
He said nothing; but he pleases me.
Love! Love! Love! Love!

Love is the child of the Bohemian,
It has never, never known any law,
If you don't love me, I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!
If you don't love me,
If you don't love me, I love you!
But, if I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!
If you don't love me,
If you don't love me, I love you!
But, if I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!

The bird you thought to surprise
Bat its wing and flew away;
Love is far away, you can wait for it;
If you wait for it no more, it is there!
All around you, quickly, quickly,
It comes, goes, then it comes back!
You think to hold it, it avoids you;
You think to avoid it, it holds you!
Love, love, love, love!

Love is the child of the Bohemian,
It has never, never known any law,
If you don't love me, I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!
If you don't love me, I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!
If you don't love me,
If you don't love me, I love you!
But, if I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!
If you don't love me,
If you don't love me, I love you!
But, if I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!


13.The Prayer

Vocal:Charlotte Church/Josh Groban

I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go
And help us to be wise in times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way
Lead us to the place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe
I pray we'll find your light, and hold it in our hearts
When stars go out each night,
remind us where you are
Let this be our prayer, when shadows fill our day
Help us find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
A world where pain and sorrow will be ended
And every heart that's broken will be mended
And we'll remember we are all God's children
Reaching out to touch you
Reaching to the sky
We ask that life be kind, and watch us from above
We hope each soul will find another soul to love
Let this be our prayer, just like every child
Who needs to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Needs to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe


14.All Love Can Be

I will watch you in the darkness
Show you love will see you through
When the bad dreams wake you crying
I'll show you all love can do
All love can do

I will watch through the night
Hold you in my arms
Give you dreams where no one will be
I will watch through the dark
Till the morning comes

For the lights will take you
Through the night to see
All love, showing us all love can be

I will guard you with my bright wings
Stay till your heart learns to see
All love can be


15.Its The Heart That Matters Most

Time to spread some hope,
Make the spirits rise
Do you see the wonder in their eyes
Time to speak of love
Hold each other close
Cause it's the heart that matters most

Its still the same old moon
Why does it shine so bright
There's a little magic in the air tonight
Time to speak of love
Hold each other close
Cause it's the heart that matters most

Always the heart that matters most

Oh, take a look around you can see that it's true
It's like a river flowing inside of you
Everyone needs love, you need it too
So here's what you, have got to do

Spread a little hope, make the spirits rise
Do you see the wonder in their eyes
Time to speak of love, hold each other close
cause it's the heart that matters most

In time we come to learn

It's the heart that matters most


16.Tantum Ergo


17.Bridge Over Troubled Water

When you're weary, feelin' small,
when tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all.
I'm on your side oh, when times get rough and friends just can't
be found.
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down.

When you're down and out, when you're on the street,
when evening falls so hard I will comfort you.
I'll take your part, oh, when darkness comes and pain is all
around.
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down.

Sail on silver girl, sail on by.
Your time has come to shine. All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine, Oh, if you need a friend I'm sailing right
behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will ease your mind.
