Frank Sinatra - My Way

And now, the end is near,
And so I face the final curtain.
My friends, I'll say it clear;
I'll state my case of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life that's full -
I've travelled each and every highway.
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets? I've had a few,
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course -
Each careful step along the byway,
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
When I bit off more than I could chew,
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried,
I've had my fill - my share of losing.
But now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that,
And may I say, not in a shy way -
Oh no. Oh no, not me.
I did it my way.

For what is a man? What has he got?
If not himself - Then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way.

Frank Sinatra - I've Got You Under My Skin

Ive got you under my skin
Ive got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, that youre really a part of me
Ive got you under my skin

Ive tried so not to give in
Ive said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist, when baby will I know than well
That Ive got you under my skin

Id sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear

Dont you know you fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
cause Ive got you under my skin

Mozart - Requiem

O último artigo, Requiem, publicado pelo Devaneante no Cantinho dos Pequenos Prazeres, fez-me lembrar o Grande Prazer que me dá a audição desta magnífica obra.
Audição que é mais uma SENSAÇÃO..., sem palavras para a explicar.

Agradeço mais uma vez ao Devaneante e, desta vez desde aqui, o ter partilhado este seu prazer e o ter-me feito lembrar que me estava a faltar publicá-la neste espaço.
A minha homenagem..., a ele e a Mozart!


Introitus



Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion, et
tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem:
exaudi orationem meam, ad te omnis
caro veniet.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.



Kyrie



Kyrie eleison
Christe eleison
Kyrie eleison


Dies irae



Dies Irae.
Dies iræ, dies illa,
Solvet sæclum in favilla;
Teste David cum Sibylla.

Quantus tremor est futurus,
Quando judex est venturus,
Cuncta stricte discussurus!


Tuba mirum



Tuba, mirum spargens sonum
Per sepulchra regionum,
Coget omnes ante thronum.

Mors stupebit, et natura,
Cum resurget creatura,

Judicanti responsura.

Liber scriptus proferetur,
In quo totum continetur,
Unde mundus judicetur.

Judex ergo cum sedebit,
Quidquid latet, apparebit:
Nil inultum remanebit.

Quid sum miser tunc dicturus?
Quem patronum rogaturus,
Cum vix justus sit securus?


Rex tremendae



Rex tremendae majestatis
Qui salvandos salvas gratis,
Salva me, fons pietatis!


Recordare



Recordare, Jesu pie,
Quod sum causa tuæ viæ:
Ne me perdas illa die.

Quærens me, sedisti lassus:
Redemisti Crucem passus:
Tantus labor non sit cassus.

Juste judex ultionis,
Donum fac remissionis
Ante diem rationis.

Ingemisco, tamquam reus:
Culpa rubet vultus meus:
Supplicanti parce, Deus.

Qui Mariam absolvisti,
Et latronem exaudisti,
Mihi quoque spem dedisti.

Preces meæ non sunt dignæ:
Sed tu bonus fac benigne,
Ne perenni cremer igne.

Inter oves locum præsta,
Et ab hædis me sequestra,
Statuens in parte dextra.


Confutatis



Confutatis maledictis,
Flammis acribus addictis:
Voca me cum benedictis.

Oro supplex et acclinis,
Cor contritum quasi cinis:
Gere curam mei finis.


Lacrymosa



Lacrimosa dies illa,
Qua resurget ex favilla.
Judicandus homo reus:
Huic ergo parce, Deus.
Pie Jesu Domine,
Dona eis requiem. Amen.


Domine Jesu



Domine Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae gloriae, libera
animas omnium fidelium defunctorum de poenis inferni
et de profundo lacu: libera eas de ore
leonis, ne absorbeat eas tartarus, ne cadant in obscurum.
Sed signifer sanctus Michael repraesentet eas in lucem sanctam:
Quam olium Abrahae promisiti et semini ejus.


Hostias



Hostias et preces tibi, Domine, laudis offerimus:
tu suscipe pro animabus illus, quarum hodie
memoriam facimus: fac eas, Domine, de morte
transire ad vitam, quam olim Abrahae promisti et semini ejus.


Sanctus



Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus,
Dominus Deus Sabaoth.
Pleni sunt coeli et terra gloria tua
Hosanna in excelsis.


Benedictus



Benedictus qui venit
in nomine Domini.
Hosanna in excelsis.


Agnus Dei



Agnus Dei,
qui tollis peccata mundi,
dona eis requiem.

Agnus Dei,
qui tollis peccata mundi,
dona eis requiem

Agnus Dei,
qui tollis peccata mundi,
dona eis requiem sempiternam.


Communio



Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine:
Cum Sanctus tuis in aeternum: quia pius es.

Requiem aeternam dona eis. Domine: et lux
perpetua luceat eis. Cum Sanctis tuits in
aeternum: quia pius es.
