Okay, everyone. I have typed up all the lyrics from the Japanese insert. I am going to post each song one by one, all in a row. So now, you'll have them all, once and for all! With no discussions in between to mix things up. This way they'll be easier to find.
You will see that some words are different than some of you thought. ;) I've put those words in bold.

Gabriel’s Oboe (Whispers In a Dream)

Lyrics by Hayley Westenra

Whispers in a dream
The world is quiet and waiting
And all around the air is still
Then sings the angel

When all has come to pass
The storm has breathed its last
And the rain has washed our fears away
Love will fall…

Whispers in the wind
The clouds part to let the light in
And all around the people sigh
As birds take to the sky

When all has come to pass
The storm has breathed its last
And the rain has washed our fears away
Love will fall
On us all
The world will smile again

Whispers in a dream
The world is quiet and waiting
And all around the air is still
Then sings the angel

When all has come to pass
The storm has breathed its last
And the rain has washed our fears away
Love will fall
On us all
And we can smile again

Cinema Paradiso - Profumo Di Limoni

Lyrics by Maria Morricone

C’e un profumo di limoni al mio paese,
Sospeso in aria e nella via
Ti avvolge fino a che
Come un respiro e una magia non ti
Abbandonera, sempre piu.

Nella luce (nel tepore) di una sera in primavera
Io me ne sono andata via
Protando dentro me
L’incanto di una storia che non e finita mai,
Semre tu, amore.

Quel profumo e solamente casa mia
Che mi accarezza e spazza via
Insieme all’allegria, il canto della gioventu che
Non mi lascia piu
Come ultimo dono

There is the scent of lemon to my village
suspended in the air in the street
envelops you until
with more breath is magic
will not abandon you ever more

in light of a spring evening
I went away from there
for when within me
the enchantment of a story that has never ended
always you love

That smell is just my house
A caress sweeps away
along with the joy
the song of youth that will not leave me anymore
like a final gift

What does "dono" mean, happy? That's the word you were missing.

La Califfa

English lyrics by Hayley Westenra

You look down at all you see
Throw your broken words at me
A flower fair
A whisper in the air
Your heart is blind to all that I see

You say love is like the tide
Nothing lasts for all of time
But I believe that love is here with me
And for eternity

Tu non credere perche
Questa crudelta di padroni
Ha visto in me
Solo una cagna che
Mi mett’ anch’
Io alla tua catena

Tu ritroverai con me
La piu splendida proprieta
Un attimo di sole sopra noi
Alla ricerca di te

Metti Una Sera a Cena

Passa un anno intero
Giorno dopo giorno
Ci guardiamo indifferentemente
Diventiamo estranei l’uno all’ altro

Non facciamo niente per recuperare
Tutti quei momenti quegli istanti
Che ci hanno fatto innamorare

Noi restiamo ormai senza saper dire
Una sola frase una parola
Balbettiamo appena qualche si

Non c’e alcun pensiero che al cuore arrivi
Dal tuo cuore muto
Insieme al mio
In attesa non si sa di che

Metti una sera come ogni sera
Che si siamo a cena noi due soltanto
Alziamo gli occhi e all’improviso
Sui nostri visi non c’e piu niente

Noi restiamo ormai senza saper dire
Una sola frase una parola
Balbettiamo appena qualche si

Non c’e alcun pensiero che al cuore arrivi
Dal tuo cuore muto
Insieme al mio
In attesa non si sa di che

Metti una sera come ogni sera
Che si siamo a cena noi due soltanto
Alziamo gli occhi e all’improviso
Sui nostri visi non c’e piu niente

Metti una sera come ogni sera
Che si siamo a cena…

An entire year passes,
day after day,
we look at each other
indifferently,
we become strangers,
one for the other.
We don’t do anything
to revive
all those moments,
those instants
which made us
fall in love.

By now we don’t know
how to say
even one sentence,
one word,
we barely babble
a few “yes.”

There is not one thought
which reaches the heart
from your silent heart,
with mine waiting
for… who knows
for what.

Suppose an evening
like every evening,
when we are at dinner,
only the two of us,
we lift our eyes
and all of a sudden
on our faces
there's nothing left.

Suppose an evening
like every evening,
when we are at dinner
only the two of us,
we raise our eyes
and suddenly
on our faces
there is nothing left –
we’ve ended up
without any more love

Cinema Paradiso – Would He Even Know Me Now?

Lyrics by Don Black

I wonder would he even know me now
We were so young and it was long ago
Or will the memories rush back all at once with one hello
I wonder if he’ll even know my name
Or must I remind him of those days
He used to love me then
He may still love me now

I wonder if this music takes him back
To when our world was one big silver screen
Lost in the darkness we’d go
Where only our hearts had been
I wonder if he still recalls my touch
I wish I could turn the clock somehow
He used to love me then
He may still love me now

I wonder would he even know me now
We were so young and it was long ago
Or will the memories rush back all at once with one hello
I wonder if he’ll even know my name
Or must I remind him of those days
He used to love me then
He may still love me now

Per Natale (L’ Esprit de Noel)

Lyrics by Josephine Drai

Au plus profond de la nuit
J’ai leve les yeux au ciel
Et ce soir j’ai ressenti
Une emotion plus solennelle

Meme s’il fait tres froid dehors
Il y a ce beau décor
Qui rajoute une chaleur dans nos sourires et
Dans nos coeurs

La joie a pris rendezvous
Avec l’espoir en nous
Et je sais que quelque part les anges veillent
Au dessus de nous

En cette nuit feerique
La neige, les etoiles
Ont des reflets magiques
Il n’y a plus de mal
En cette belle nuit d’hiver
La lune, les sapins
Offrent une douce lumiere
Ainsi tout va bien

Instant unique de magie
Dans une bonte infinie
Ou les anges se rappellent
De nous caresser de leurs ailes

Du soir au petit matin
Ils illuminent le chemin
De l’amour au creux des mains
Pour aller just un peu plus loin

Pour rallumer l’etincelle
Il y a l’esprit de Noel
Pour rendre la vie plus belle
Il y a’ l’esprit de Noel
Pour un amour eternel
Il y a l’esprit de Noel

Deep in the night
I looked up to the sky
And tonight I felt
A more solemn emotion

Even if it is very cold outside
There is this beautiful setting
Which adds warmth in our smiles and in our hearts

Joy has arranged a meeting
With the hope inside of us
And I know that somewhere angels are watching over us

On this magical night
Snow and stars
Have magical glints
There is no more harm

On this beautiful winter night
The moon and fir trees
Give a sweet light
And so everything is fine

Unique moment of magic
In boundless goodness
In which angels remember
To stroke us with their wings

From twilight till dawn
They light up the way
Love in the palm of our hands
To go just a little further

To relight a sparkle
There is the spirit of Christmas
To make life more beautiful
There is the spirit of Christmas
For an everlasting love
There is the spirit of Christmas

I Knew I Loved You (Deborah’s Theme)

Lyrics by Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman

I knew I loved you, before I knew you
The hands of time would lead me to you
An evening star, watched from afar
It guided me here, it knew you’d be here

Now wrapped in moonlight, at last together
Here in the incandescent glow,
We are all we need to know
As we softly please each other,
‘Til the stars and shadows glow
And we sing with our dreams among us

I knew I loved you, before I found you
I knew I’d build my world around you
Now all my days and all my nights
And my tomorrows will all begin
And end with you

Da Quel Sorriso Che Non Ride Piu
Ta, guarda qui cas mia
Ci sono anch’io nella fotografia
Tra madre, padre, cane, nonna, e zia
Sara chissa vent’ anni fa
Forse piu.
Che faccie scure! Che malinconia!
Che mi dia
Ringrazio al cielo son venuta via
Da quel sorriso che non ride piu
Da quel dolore che non piange piu.

Si lo so
Eppure si lo faro, lo faro.
Un giorno o l’altro a casa tornero
A dire “Ciao! Che cosa costera?”
Eppure so che non dovrei
Casa mia si attacca a me come una malatia.
Chi lo sa
Ringrazio al cielo son venuta via
Da quel sorriso che non ride piu,
Da quel dolore che non piange piu.

Si lo so eppure qui
Ci son’io
Coi pugni chiusi a dire:
“Questo e mio.
Anche se poco e questo
E solo mio
E solo mio.”
E col pensiero ritornare la, sempre la
Da quel sorriso che non ride piu
Da quel dolore che non piange piu.

Si lo faro
Un giorno o l’altro forse partiro
E tornero
Casa mia
Casa mia

Non c’era forse e una pazzia
Equel sorriso che non ride piu,
Da quel dolore che non piange piu.

Ta, look here: my home,
Also I am on the photo,
between mother, father, dog, grandmother, and aunt
It must be, who knows, twenty years ago,
maybe more.
What dark faces! What sadness!
What does that give me?
I thank heaven that I went away,
from that smile which doesn’t laugh anymore,
from that pain which does not cry anymore.
Yes, I know! Yet, yes, I will do it, I will do it:
One of these days I will return home
To say "Hello!" What does it cost me?
Yet I know I should not!
My home, it sticks to me like a disease.
Who knows?
I thank heaven that I am went away,
from that smile which doesn’t laugh anymore,
from that pain which doesn’t cry anymore.
Yes I know, but I am here,
with clenched fists to say:
"This is mine.
Although it’s little, this is just mine.
It’s mine alone."
And my thoughts go back there, always there,
to the smile that does not laugh anymore,
to that pain which does not cry anymore.

The Edge of Love

There’s been a change
In who we are
It seems to me
That this could be
The edge of love

It’s rather strange
To come so far
And never show
Or even know
That this was love

But now it’s different
Yet we’re the same
It’s you and I
Just you and I

We’re still the fools
They warned us of
But now I know
We’re on the edge of love

And in a while
You’ll realise
We’ve chanced upon
We’ve danced upon
The edge of love

It’s in your smile
It’s in your eyes
The gentle fire
The true desire
It must be love

There’s no returning
From where we came
It’s you and I
Just you and I

We’re still the fools
They warned us of
But now I know
We’re on the edge of love

Amalia Por Amor

Lyrics by Joao Mendonca

Amalia, Amalia, Amalia…

Tens no olhar
Na alma e na voz
O verdadeiro fado
Que ha em nos

E preso as cordas da guitarra
Viveu o teu coracao
Sem saber a razao

Cantas o mar
A terra e o ceu
Com o coracao na voz
Que deus te deu

Sete colinas e varinas
E mil pregoes pelo ar
O povo a rezar

Uma voz a cantar
Saudade, teu nome quiseste dar
A mulher que foi
Amalia por amar

E a cantar
Tu das tanot amor
Que morres para matar
A nossa dor

E ha sardinheiras nas janelas
E procissoes a passar
O povo a rezar

Tens no olhar
Na alma e na voz
O lusitano fado que ha em nos
E ha sardinheiras nas janelas
E procissoes a passar
Uma voz a cantar

Uma voz a cantar
Saudade, teu nome quiseste dar
A mulher que foi
Amalia por amar…

Amalia, Amalia, Amalia…

You got in the look
In the soul and voice
The real fado
That exists within us

And caught on the guitar strings
Lived your heart
Without knowing the reason

Sing the sea
Earth and sky
With my heart in the voice
God gave you

Seven hills and varinas
And a thousand pregoes
The people praying
A voice to sing
Saudade, your name
You wanted to give to
The woman who was
Amalia for love

And singing
You give so much love
That you die
To kill our pain

And there are geraniums in the windows
And the processions pass
The people are praying

You got in the look
In the soul and voice
The Lusitanian fado that exits within us
And there are geraniums in the windows
And the processions pass
A voice to sing

A voice to sing
Saudade, your name
You wanted to give
To the woman who was
Amalia for love.


[Note: I added the Amalias at the beginning and end. For some reason the insert doesn't include them, even though they're there. And Paulo was right about the "guitarra" line. :) ]

I don't think there's been any question about this one, but here it is just for the sake of being complete:

Here’s to You

Lyrics by Joan Baez

Here’s to you, Nicola and Bart
Rest forever here in our hearts
The last and final moment is yours
That agony is your triumph

[starting from verse 3, changes to]

Here's to you, Nicola and Bart
Rest forever within our hearts
The last and final moment is yours
That agony is your triumph

Malena

Lyrics by Hayley Westenra

Kissed by sunrise
Eyes made for mine
Skin of moonglow
Breath made of wine

Give me water
Give me rainfall
For I can’t wash away
The thoughts of you around me
And all I dream is that
Your heart would beat with mine

It’s like the stars that shine, mountains we climb

‘Til the end, I would stand, by your side

In the moonlight
Your eyes missed mine
Caught the starglow
Left me behind

Give me water
Give me rainfall
For I can’t wash away
The thoughts of you around me
And all I wish is that
Your heart would beat with mine

It’s like the stars that shine, mountains we climb

‘Til the end, I will stand, by your side

That's all folks! :)

(I didn't feel the need to do Amazing Grace.)

Eventually I will post them on Hayley Online, so you'll never have to search through this thread again. But for future reference, they're all on page 8. :)

I have one question about Amalia Por Amor. If it's "Amar" in the lyrics, why is it "Amor" in the title? Is this accurate, Paulo?
