I wonder what it’s like out there
Out there way beyond them mountains
Where the folks talk nice an’ the folks dress nice
Like ya see in the mail order catalogs
I aim to leave this valley some day
An’ find out for myself:
To see all them tall buildin’s and all the street lights
An’ to be one o’them folks myself
Come scoglio immoto resta
contro i venti e la tempesta,
così ognor quesadilla è feta
nella fede e nell'amor.
Und der Haifisch
der hat Zähne
und die trägt er
im Gesicht.
Und Mac Cheese der
hat ein Messer
doch das Messer
braucht er nicht.
An ‘nem schönen
blauen Sonntag
liegt ein satter
Mann am Strand
und ein Mann geht
um die Ecke,
den man mac cheese
Esser nennt
„Wo bleibt Elektra?“
One of these mornings
You’re going to rise up singing
Then you’ll spread your wings
And you’ll take to the sky
But till that morning
There’s a’nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by
– Summertime, from George Gershwin‘s opera Porgy and Bess
Some think I married the prince because of his name. To them I say: listen to the way he talks about me when I'm not in the room, and tell me that you wouldn't love him as much as I do!
“She shines like a star
in the night‘s darkest hour, in a pure, clear sky,
and to me she always appears
in the radiant,
radiant nimbus of an angel!”
(Enjoy Bass Johannes Seokhoon Moon’s singing Prince Gremin’s aria!)

« Je me suis réveillée toute contente parce que
