colma a sus dilectos en su sueño.

He aquí la herencia del señor, sus hijos

su recompensa, el fruto de sus entrañas

Mary, did you know

that your Baby Boy would one day walk on water?

Mary, did you know

that your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters?

Did you know

that your Baby Boy has come to make you new?

This Child that you delivered will soon deliver you.

Mary, did you know

that your Baby Boy will give sight to a blind man?

Mary, did you know

that your Baby Boy will calm the storm with His hand?

Did you know

that your Baby Boy has walked where angels trod?

When you kiss your little Baby you kissed the face of God?

Mary did you know.. Ooo Ooo Ooo

The blind will see.

The deaf will hear.

The dead will live again.

The lame will leap.

The dumb will speak

The praises of The Lamb.

Mary, did you know

that your Baby Boy is Lord of all creation?

Mary, did you know

that your Baby Boy would one day rule the nations?

Did you know

that your Baby Boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?

The sleeping Child you're holding is the Great, I Am.

What hope we hold this starlit night

A King is born in Bethlehem

Our journey long, we seek the light

That leads to the hallowed manger ground

What fear we felt in the silent age

Four-hundred years can He be found

But broken by a baby's cry

Rejoice in the hallowed manger ground

Emmanuel, Emmanuel

God incarnate, here to dwell

Emmanuel, Emmanuel

Praise His name Emmanuel

The son of God, here born to bleed

A crown of thorns would pierce His brow

And we beheld this offering

Exalted now the King of kings

Praise God for the hallowed manger ground

Emmanuel, Emmanuel

God incarnate, here to dwell

Emmanuel, Emmanuel

Praise His name Emmanuel

Oh, praise His name Emmanuel

Oh, praise His name Emmanuel

I’ll have a blue Christmas without you

I’ll be so blue just thinking about you

Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree

Won’t be the same dear, if you’re not here with me

And when the blue snowflakes start falling

That’s when those blue memories start calling

You’ll be doing alright with your Christmas of white

But I’ll have a blue Christmas

You’ll be doing alright with your Christmas of white

But I’ll have a blue, blue Christmas

Pues com ya estamos a la puertas de Navidad, voy a dedicar estas semanas a la música propia de este tiempo. Empiezo con una preciosa canción interpretada por Andrea Bocelli y Mary J. Blige : "What Child is This"

What child is this

Who laid to rest

On Marys lap is sleeping?

Oh, whom angels greet

With anthems sweet

While the good shepherds

Watch our keeping

Mmm

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,

Come peasant, king to own Him

The King of kings salvation brings,

Let loving hearts enthrone Him

Ohh

This, this is Christ the King,

Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing;

Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,

The Babe, the Son of Mary.

For raise, for raise this song on high

His mother sings her lullaby

Oh joyful, joyful Christ is born

The Babe, the Son of Mary (Mary)

What child is this

What child is this (what child is this yeah)

This, this is Christ the king

Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing

Haste, haste to bring him more

The Babe (oh the Babe) and the Son (and the Son) of Mary (of Mary, Mary, Mary)

Of Mary (of Mary)

Of Mary

Come away with me in the night

Come away with me

And I will write you a song

Come away with me on a bus

Come away where they can't tempt us

With their lies

I want to walk with you

On a cloudy day

In fields where the yellow grass grows

knee-high

So won't you try to come

Come away with me and we'll kiss

On a mountaintop

Come away with me

And I'll never stop loving you

And I want to wake up with the rain

Falling on a tin roof

While I'm safe there in your arms

So all I ask is for you

To come away with me in the night

Come away with me

It hasn't been this bright in a century and a third

At this time of night in the great, wide world

The moon is overhead, her light shines down on me

It's lovely how it hits the deck, making shadows of the trees

Does anybody have a light?

I'm cold as a stone

And it's dark in the night

And I'm up here all alone

You got this power over me

My shadow hungers for you

But we must not ever meet

We've got to play it cool

Well, get yourself a life

Give yourself another name

Become somebody's wife, it'll ease up all your shame

Does anybody love you?

Does anybody love you?

I got to go get waxed, I can't have shadows by noon

You just stay put and relax, I'll be 'round again soon

Does anybody have a light?

I'm cold as a stone

And it's dark in the night

And I'm up here all alone

Well, everyone gets undressed

I just get paid by the hour

So, your citizens are repressed

Don't get self-righteous with me now

I got a daughter on the moon

She's pressing license plates for life

I got another in Hollywood

She wanes softly to the night

Does anybody love her?

Does anybody love her?

Does anybody have a light?

I'm cold as a stone

And it's dark in the night

And I'm up here all alone

Se que las canciones versionadas de música clásica, no contentan a los amantes de este género, pero a mí esta versión de la opera de Bizet Les pecheurs de perles, interpretada por David Gilmour me ha gustado.

Mad World es el título de la canción que interpreta Gary Jules, nacido el 19 de marzo de 1969 en Fresno (California)) es un compositor y cantautor estadounidense, famoso por haber realizado una versión del tema Mad World del grupo Tears for Fears, la cual apareció en la película Donnie Darko y en el videojuego Gears of War.

Cuando se popularizó dicho tema, su voz fue comparada con la del cantante de R.E.M., Michael Stipe.

All around me are familiar faces

Worn out places

Worn out faces

Bright and early for their daily races

Going nowhere

Going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses

No expression

No expression

Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow

No tomorrow

No tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny

I find it kind of sad

The dreams in which I’m dying

Are the best I’ve ever had

I find it hard to tell you

I find it hard to take

When people run in circles

It’s a very very

Mad world

Mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good

Happy birthday

Happy birthday

Made to feel the way that every child should

Sit down and listen

Sit down and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous

No one knew me

No one knew me

Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson

Look right through me

Look right through me

And I find it kind of funny

I find it kind of sad

The dreams in which I’m dying

Are the best I’ve ever had

I find it hard to tell you

I find it hard to take

When people run in circles

It’s a very very

Mad world

Mad world

enlarged in your world

Mad world

You fingertips across my skin

The palm trees swaying in the wind

Images

You sang me Spanish lullabies

The sweetest sadness in your eyes

Clever trick

I never want to see you unhappy

I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover

Goodbye, my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance

My back is turned to you

I should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street

You took my hand and danced with me

Images

And when I left you kissed my lips

You told me you'd never ever forget these images, no

I never want to see you unhappy

I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover

Goodbye, my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

I should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean

I cannot drive the streets at night

I cannot wake up in the morning

Without you on my mind

So you're gone and I'm haunted

And I bet you are just fine

Did I make that easy for you?

To walk right, in and out of my life?

Goodbye, my almost lover

Goodbye, my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

I should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh, uh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother

She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and

Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no

Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, well

I've had, just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a, bed of roses

Sink me in the river, at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, oh well

I've had just enough time

And I'll be wearing white when I come into Your Kingdom

I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger,

I've never known the loving of a man

But it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand

there's a boy here in town says that he'll love me forever

Whoever thought forever could be severed by

The sharp knife of a short life oh Well,

I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls

what I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts,

Oh no,

I'll sell em' for a dollar

They're worth so much more after I'm a goner

and maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing

funny when you're dead how people start listenin'

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a, bed of roses

Sink me in the river, at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh (uh, oh)

The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)

Go with peace and love

Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket

Save them for a time when you're really gonna need 'em, oh

Vuelvo a repetir con Sting, no he podido resistirme a esta pieza musical, titulada Soul cake, que interpretó en un concierto ofrecido en la Catedral de Durham en el 2099. Todo el disco , ofrece una gran belleza. Os dejo con la pieza anunciada.

A soul, a soul cake, please good missus a soul cake.

An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,

any good thing to make us all merry,

A soul, a soul cake, please good missus a soul cake.

One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all.

A soul, a soul cake, please good missus a soul cake.

An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,

any good thing to make us all merry,

God bless the master of this house, and the mistress also.

And all the little children that round your table grow.

The cattle in your stable and the dog by your front door.

And all that dwell within your gates

we wish you ten times more.

A soul, a soul cake, please good missus a soul cake.

An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,

any good thing to make us all merry,

A soul, a soul cake, please good missus a soul cake.

One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all.

Go down into the cellar and see what you can find.

If the barrels are not empty we hope you will be kind.

We hope you will be kind with your apple and strawber’

For we’ll come no more a ’soalin’ till Xmas time next year.

A soul, a soul cake, please good missus a soul cake.

An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,

any good thing to make us all merry,

A soul, a soul cake, please good missus a soul cake.

One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all.

I have a little pocket to put a penny in.

If you haven’t got a penny, a ha’ penny will do.

If you haven’t got a ha’ penny then God bless you.

A soul, a soul cake, please good missus a soul cake.

An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,

any good thing to make us all merry,

A soul, a soul cake, please good missus a soul cake.

One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all.
