Life just gives you day by day
And the nights for more hours of pain
Life just gives you a smile some days
And you keep on fallin' day by day
Give me rain, oh Lord, rain
That's the way to help me through
To take the pain away from me
From my chest, oh Lord, give me rain
Give me strengh, oh Lord, please strengh
Though the pain will ban my way
Give me strengh, oh Lord, please strengh
'Cause we need that so bad
Give me brains, oh Lord, please brains
Though the pain will ban my way
Give me brains, oh Lord, please brains
'Cause we need that so bad
Give me rain, oh Lord, rain
For our roots to grow again
Take the pain away from us
'Cause we need that so bad
Good king Wenceslaus (Dan)
Good King Wenceslas looked out, on the feast of Stephen
And the show lay round about, deep and crisp and even
Brightly shone the moon that night, though the frost was cruel
When a poor man came in sight, cathering winter fuel
"Hither, page, come stand by me, if through knowest it telling
Yonder poor man, who is he? Where and what his develling"
"Sire, he loves a good league hence, downbeneath the mountain
Right againist the forest fence, by Saint Agnes' fountain"
"Bring me flesh, and bring me wine, bring me pinelogs hither
Thou and I shall see him dine, when we bear him hither"
Page and monarch forth they went, on they went together
Through the rude wind's lament, and the bitter weather
Good Neighbour (Paddy)
Nobody tries to be a good neighbour
Nobody tries anymore
Where are those good things they promise
Everyone will fight their wars
Remember the days we needed everyone
Everybody needed you and me
If I needed salt, I knew where to go for it
They knew where my door was too
Ho, ho, ho...
Who is that jerk next door anyway
He and his wife have warts
Slam the door, beer and my telly
Or alone I can play my darts
Remember the days we needed everyone
Everybody needed you and me
If I needed salt, I knew where to go for it
They knew where my door was too
Ho, ho, ho...
Everybody wants to get without giving
Everybody wants more and more
Nobody tries to be a good neighbour
Nobody gives anymore
Remember the days we needed everyone
Everybody needed you and me
If I needed salt, I knew where to go for it
They knew where my door was too
Ho, ho, ho...
Nobody tries, nobody tries, nobody tries anymore
Nobody tries to be a good neighbour
Nobody tries anymore
Nobody tries, nobody tries, nobody tries anymore
Nobody tries to be a good neighbour
Nobody tries anymore
Gott, deine Kinder (Kathy)
Ich weiß nicht, ob Du es hören willst und ob es dich auch gibt
Ich weiß nicht, ob so ein Gott auch Zigeuner wie mich liebt
Ausgestoßen und geachtet gehören wir nicht dazu
Doch ich sehe in Deinen Augen
Ausgestoßen warst auch Du
Gott, Deine Kinder flehen dich an
Zeige Deine Gnade die sie nie gekannt
Sie brauchen die Kraft diese Welt zu versteh'n
Gott, Deine Kinder
Sie wollen Dich she'n
Gott, ich verlange gar nichts für mich
Doch ich kenne so viele viel ärmer als ich
Hungrig, verachtet, verhaßt, schikaniert
Hast Du vergessen? Wir hangen an dir
Ich weiß nicht, ob Deine Segeln
Für alle Menschen gilt doch erlaubte mir die Frage
Gott, sage wer soll das
Wer soll das ertragen?
Gott, Deine Kinder sie kennen nur Zorn
Und wünschen sich manschmal sie war'n nie geborn
Müde, verzweifelt sie geben nicht auf hör' auf die Kinder
Sonst stößt Du sie aus
Wir hoffen, wir beten, wir brauchen dich hier
Hast Du vergessen? Wir hangen an Dir
Grandmother (Paddy)
Well, I'm gonna see grandmother,
And I'm gonna see grandfather,
Because they like me, they really like me
That's right!
Well, she's gonna bake me an apple pie,
And he's gonna give me a collar tie,
Because I like that, I really like that.
Whoa, oh, they really like me, they really like me,
They really like me, because I care, because I care,
Because I care, because I care.
I'm gonna plant them a field of flowers,
And I'm gonna pick all the summer fields,
Because I like that, I really like that.
I'm gonna catch the biggest fish,
With grandfather, for grandmother,
Because I like her, I really like her.
Whoa, oh, should give it a try,
Go fishing with grandpa,
Should give it a try, baby, with grandma
You go fishing with grandpa (girls)
Baking with grandma (boys)
Go fishing with grandpa, whoa...
oh, ah, ah, yummy yummy tonight
oh, ah, ah, yummy yummy tonight, oh
Oh, I'm gonna sit by the fire tonight
And I'll sing a song of a bird on flight,
Oh, I like that, I really like that.
I'll fall asleep in my grandma's arms
Dreaming of her hand there in my hairs,
Oh I like that, I really like that...
Greensleeves (Dan)
Our family abodes a travelling went to distant lands
A singing sweet with pipes and string and an open heart
Just to wish their brothers a good life
Greensleeves was all our joy
Greensleeves was our delight
Greensleeves are heart of gold
And who but our love, Greensleeves
In Dante's land, or there they'd marbled strong
To see this celtic bloods sincerity
I look the smile, even a tiny gift
And turn their backs, low courteously
Greensleeves was all our joy
Greensleeves was our delight
Greensleeves are heart of gold
And who but our love, Greensleeves
When come to the city of the waltz, they said
There they love you cautiously
But in truth there we given no time and even scares
By the city of music, he's gone or go
Greensleeves was all our joy
Greensleeves was our delight
Greensleeves are heart of gold
And who but our love, Greensleeves
So they danced their way, no scared and faint
To Schiller's sweet heaven and dearest walk
And at last they were watched with wondering love
And that lifted this family's silent heart
Greensleeves was all our joy
Greensleeves was our delight
Greensleeves are heart of gold
And who but our love, Greensleeves

Schlaf nun seelig und süß
Schau im Traum's Paradies
Schlaf nun seelig und süß
Schau im Traum's Paradies
Guten Abend, gut' Nacht
Mit Rosen bedacht
Mit Näglein bestickt
Schlupf unter die Deck
Morgen früh, wenn Gott will
Wirst du wieder geweckt
Morgen früh, wenn Gott will
Wirst du wieder geweckt
