Song: "A Thousand Years" by "Christina Perri"

Summary of the Content:

Heartbeats fast

Colors and promises

How to be brave

How can I love when I’m afraid to fall

But watching you stand alone

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I’ll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still

Beauty in all she is

I will be brave

I will not let anything take away

What’s standing in front of me

Every breath

Every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I’ll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed that I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for a thousand years

I’ll love you for a thousand more

One step closer

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I’ll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for a thousand years

I’ll love you for a thousand more

Song: " Кто тебя создал такую" by Леонид Портной

Summary of the Content:

Who created you so like you are? I look at you and my glance is elated; You are all like from the fairytale. 

Who created you so like you are? Charming the world with your nature; You are going towards me, In the dusk of the night In the starlit silence;

 Like a swan with a slender figure; all from a white mist You are swimming in my embrace. 

Who created you so like you are? I’m kissing your eyes; And I want to live all my life Only for you Only loving you.

Song: "Vivo Per Lei" by Andrea Bocelli ft. Georgia

Summary of the Content:

I live for her since you know

I first met her

I don't remember how, but

she entered my soul and she stayed there.

I live for her because she makes

my heart vibrate strongly

I live for her and it's not a burden.

I live for her also, you know it

and don't be jealous for that

she belongs to everyone who

has an unsatiable need

like a radio in a room

of the one who is alone but now knows

that she's also for him, and that's why

I live for her.

She's a muse that invites us

to softly touch her with our fingers

Through a piano

death is far away

I live for her.

I live for her, she often knows

how to be sweet and sensual

sometimes it hits you in the head

but it's a punch that doesn't hurt.

I live for her, I know she makes me

travel from town to town

I suffer a little, but at least I live for her.

I feel pain when she leaves

I live for her inside the hotels

She grows with a great pleasure

I live for her in a whirl.

Through my voice

it expands and gives birth to love.

I live for her, I have nothing else

and how many others will I find/meet

who have written on their face:

I live for her.

I live for her

up on a stage or against the wall...

I live on the edge for her.

...even if tomorrow will be rough.

I live to the limit for her.

Every day

a conquest

the protagonist

will always be her.

I live for her because from now on

I have no other way out

because you know

I've never truly betrayed music.

I live for her because she gives me

pauses and notes in freedom

If I had another life, I'd live it

I'd live it for her.

I live for her - the music

I live for her.

I live for her, she's unique

I live for her

I live for her

I live

for her.

Song: "18th Floor Balcony" by Blue October

Summary of the Content:

I close my eyes and I smile

Knowing that everything is alright

To the core

So close that door

Is this happening?

My breath is on your hair

I'm unaware

That you opened the blinds and let the city in

God, you held my hand

And we stand

Just taking in everything.

And I knew it from the start

So my arms are open wide

Your head is on my stomach

And we're trying so hard not to fall asleep

Here we are

On this 18th floor balcony.

We're both flying away.

So we talked about mom's and dad's

About family pasts

Just getting to know where we came from

Our hearts were on display

For all to see

I can't believe this is happening to me

And I raised my hand as if to show you that I was yours

That I was so yours for the taking

I'm so yours for the taking

That's when I felt the wind pick up

I grabbed the rail while choking up

These words to say and then you kissed me...

I knew it from the start

So my arms are open wide

Your head is on my stomach

And we're trying so hard not to fall asleep

Here we are

On this 18th floor balcony...

We're both flying away.

And I'll try to sleep

To keep you in my dreams

'til I can bring you home with me

I'll try to sleep

And when I do I'll keep you in my... dreams

I knew it from the start

So my arms are open wide

Your head is on my stomach

And we're trying so hard not to fall asleep

So here we are

On this 18th floor balcony, yeah

I knew it from the start

My arms are open wide

Your head is on my stomach

No, we're not going to sleep

Here we are

On this 18th floor balcony... we're both..

Flying away

Song: "Hoy Tengo Gamnas de Ti" by Alejandro Fernandez & Cristina Aguilera

Summary of the Content:

You were a passing bird and i don't know for what reason

I got used every day more to you

The two of us invented the adventure of love

you filled my life, and then I saw you leaving

without saying goodbye I saw you leaving

Chorus:

i want to find my way in your arms

and i want you to feel like a woman only with me

Today I want you, today I want you

In your lips i want to the thirst of my soul

and we together find the love every morning

today I want you, today I want you

Nothing is more sad than silence and pain

nothing is more bitter than to know that I lost you

Today I searched in the night the sound of your voice

and where are you hiding to fill with me

fill me with you, fill me with you

Chorus
