Caro Mio Ben                Giuseppe Giordani    1744-1798

My dear beloved, believe me at least. Without you my heart languishes. Your faithful one, always sighs.
Cease, Cruel one. So my punishment!
Nel cor più non mi sento        Giovanni Paisello 1740 - 1810
No Longer do I feel the youth of love in my heart. The cause of torment my dear is you! My love is you!
You sting me. You poke me. You pinch me. You chew me. Alas! What is this thing. Pity, pity, have Pity!
My love it is certain that you make me despair!

La Vie En Rose            Louis Gugliemi 1916-1991
                        Edith Piaf 1915 - 1963
Hold me close and hold me fast. The magic spell you cast. This is la vie en rose. When you kiss me
heaven sighs, and though I close my eyes, I see la vie en rose. When you press me to your heart. I’m in a
world apart. A world where rose bloom. And when you speak angels sing from above. Everyday words
seem to turn into love songs. give your heart and soul to me and life will always be la vie en rose.
