Prends garde à toi

2. O soave fanciulla from La Boheme (Puccini)

3. Toreador Song from Carmen (Bizet)

Toréador en garde, toréador, toréador!

Et songe bien, oui songe en combattant,

Qu'un œil noir te regarde

Et que l'amour t'attend, toréador!

L'amour, l'amour t'attend.

4. Va Pensiero from Nabucco (Verdi)

Va pensiero, sull’ali dorate

Va ti posa sul clivi sui colli

Ove olezzano tepide e molli

L’aure dolci del suolo natal!

Del Giordano le rive saluta

Di Sionne le torri atterrate

Oh mia patria si bella e perduta

Oh membranza si cara e fatal!

5. Nessun Dorma from Turandot (Puccini)

Il nome suo nessun saprà
E noi dovrem ahimè, morir, morir

Vilia, O Vilia, my wild woodland sprite

let me embrace thee, my dream of delight

8. O Mimi, tu più non torni from La Boheme (Puccini)

9. Champagne the Great! from Die Fledermaus (J. Strauss)

His Majesty we celebrate, celebrate,

long and late,
Joyously together, Ah the great!

A toast to Champagne the great monarch!

10. The People’s Song from Les Miserables (Claude-Michel Schönberg)

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the songs of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?

Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the songs of angry men?
It is the music of the people

Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France!

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the songs of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
