FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE - FRANK SINATRA

FOR YOU PAULA

WITH LOVE

The Lyrics :

FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE

Writer(s): murden/miller

For once in my life Ive got someone who needs me

Someone Ive needed so long

For once unafraid I can go where life leads me

And somehow I know Ill be strong

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of

Long before I knew

Someone warm like you

Could make my dreams come true

For once in my life I wont let sorrow hurt me

Not like its hurt me before

For once Ive got someone I know wont desert me

And Im not alone anymore

For once I can say: this is mine you cant take it

As long as Ive got love I know I can make it

For once in my life Ive got someone who needs me

I Have Seen Heroes

[From the parashah sheet "Ma'ayanei Ha-Yeshua" – Parashat Shemot]

I have seen heroes.

I have seen a war break out on Chanukah, and the spirit of the Hasmoneans reawakened in young men now determined to wage war with amazing strength and faith. They do not make personal calculations; they are willing to sacrifice themselves.

I have seen soldiers committed to the mission, waging war with true courage; and even when their friends fall in battle, they do not stop for a moment, but say: "We are in the middle of the battle, and we must continue on and finish it.

"I have seen a soldier say: "There is nothing to fear; we do what needs to be done. The individual is not important, only the national goal.

I have seen a unit of 120 soldiers, in which 116 were called and another 5 volunteered – including three newlyweds who did not want to forgo their responsibility. And including someone expelled from Gush Katif who had a heavy heart and they said to him: "You are not obligated to go," but he said: "Of course I am obligated.

"I have seen soldiers fight with great effectiveness in a war in crowded, built-up areas, knowing that in a situation like this on a darkened night, it is impossible to be completely immune from the dangers of friendly fire, yet they understand that war is war and they march on.

I have seen a high-ranking officer says: "What was once done by an elite combat unit is now accomplished by a regular unit." I have seen an overwhelming response of 115% from those called up and even those who have not been called up, including deserters who begged to be forgiven, and then rejoin their units.

I have seen a soldier in the hospital who was wounded from head-to-toe and wanted to return to the battle and when they told him:"The next war." He stood firm and said: "Now.

"I have seen a mother whose son was killed in the last war who did not hesitate for an instant to consent that her other sons could join combat units.

I have seen soldiers volunteer for dangerous units. I have seen an officer sign up for the standing army, since this army is his supreme ideal. He believes in what he is doing, and his soldiers follow him.

I have seen an officer who was wounded in the face but continued to fight. He refused medical treatment, and he only agreed to go to the hospital after a few hours. He immediately returned to his unit, and said to the reporter: "Please do not turn this battle into a story of heroism. We are just doing what we have to do." I have seen a soldier who waged war like a lion, and when he was asked where he gets this strength, he responded: "From the Nation of Israel! Don't you know? This is a great generation!

"I have seen officers with great spirits who says: "The needs of the Nation are above our needs. We have received so much from the State, we are happy to give a little back. We are happy to worry about the national honor, to worry about our friends.

"I have seen officers full of integrity, morality and gentleness.
There is no doubt, I have seen new souls.
There is no doubt, I have seen the Divine Presence returning within us.

A SLOW LINE ENTERS GAZA :A SONG FOR ISRAELIS SOLDIERS

A Slow Line Enters Gaza: A Song for Israeli Soldiers

Posted by Mordechai Friedfertig

The Words to Rav Aviner's song:

[The Hebrew words can be found at: http://video.maale.org.il/blog/show.php?id=782&type=blog]

The unit commander is a factory owner.
The regimental commander is an engineer.
The company commander is a nature guide.
The platoon commander is in his mandatory army service.
The sergeant major sells holy books.
The sergeant is somewhat of a carpenter.
The squad leader is currently unemployed.
And the private is retired.


But all of them are excellent soldiers
Marching in the quiet of the night in a slow line
Entering enemy territory
Without fear
In order to wage war for our Nation
As their parents had done for them.


The unit commander has a bad back.
The regimental commander – high cholesterol.
The company commander – digestive problems.
The platoon commander just doesn't look good.
The sergeant major – problems with his eyes.
The sergeant has trouble sleeping.
The squad leader is scratching.
And the private has corns on his foot.


But all of them are excellent soldiers
Who slip into the darkness in a slow line
Entering enemy territory
Forgetting that they are pampered and sensitive
Filled each day with drops, oils and pills
And they are suddenly healthy.
And these men who are afraid of shots and dentists
Are suddenly courageous
They are not afraid of anything
They do anything that needs to be done
Because what is needed is needed.
They don't think about themselves
But about the national goal
Because it is enough of this mess
And we must now act to protect our Nation
And this is only the appetizer.


The unit commander is a leftist against the settlements.
The regimental commander is a settler for the settlements.
The company commander votes for the centrist party.
The platoon commander is a Religious-Zionist who is deciding between two parties.
The sergeant major is Ultra-Orthodox.
The sergeant is a socialist.
The squad leader votes for all the parties.
And the private has still not decided.


But all of them are excellent soldiers
Marching silently in the darkness of the night.
Under the smiling moon
With preparedness and strength
And the same people who do not agreed
About anyting in politics and religion
Have suddenly become brothers.
Brothers in arms and brothers in battle
Who sacrifice for each other with their heart and soul
Everyone suddenly agrees
That the best thing we have
Is our country and the army which defends us
And they are ready to completely strike the enemy
For once and all
So that we will be left in peace.

VAMPIRES - A NEW BREED

After all they are not gone for ever.

For some time they went into hide, but now they are back.

The old generation gave way to a new breed. They are immune to garlic, holy water, wooden sticks, crosses and so on. They even walk amongst us in plain day light.

They don't need coffins to rest or hide in crypts.

They act like other humans.

You can find them at leading positions everywhere, politics, business, education, culture...

Beaten 34 years ago they are back, stronger than ever, planning their revenge and lusting after the blood of the herd.

Of course I'm talking metaphorically. So did JOSÉ AFONSO years before 1974 in his song "OS VAMPIROS". I' m sure that if he was alive today he would find his song very adequate to describe the sad days we are living.

So I leave to you all the lyrics of "OS VAMPIROS" , sadly I couldn't find any tranlation to English.

OS VAMPIROS

No céu cinzento

Sob o astro mudo

Batendo as asas

Pela noite calada

Vem em bandos

Com pés veludo

Chupar o sangue

Fresco da manada

Se alguém se engana

Com seu ar sisudo

E lhes franqueia

As portas à chegada

Eles comem tudo

Eles comem tudo

Eles comem tudo

E não deixam nada

A toda a parte

Chegam os vampiros

Poisam nos prédios

Poisam nas calçadas

Trazem no ventre

Despojos antigos

Mas nada os prende

Às vidas acabadas

São os mordomos

Do universo todo

Senhores à força

Mandadores sem lei

Enchem as tulhas

Bebem vinho novo

Dançam a ronda

No pinhal do rei

Eles comem tudo

Eles comem tudo

Eles comem tudo

E não deixam nada

No chão do medo

Tombam os vencidos

Ouvem-se os gritos

Na noite abafada

Jazem nos fossos

Vítimas dum credo

E não se esgota

O sangue da manada

Se alguém se engana

Com seu ar sisudo

E lhes franqueia

As portas à chegada

Eles comem tudo

Eles comem tudo

Eles comem tudo

E não deixam nada

Eles comem tudo

Eles comem tudo

Eles comem tudo

E não deixam nada

HASTA SIEMPRE

Aquí se queda la clara

la entrañable transparencia,

de tu querida presencia,

comandante Che Guevara.

Aprendimos a quererte

desde la histórica altura

donde el sol con su bravura

le puso cerco a la muerte.

Aquí se queda la clara...

Tu mano gloriosa y fuerte

sobre la historia dispara

cuando toda Santa Clara

se despierta para verte.

Aquí se queda la clara...

Vienes quemando la brisa

con soles de primavera

para plantar la bandera

de la luz de tu sonrisa.

Aquí se queda la clara...

Tu amor revolucionario

te conduce a nueva empresa

donde esperan la firmeza

de tu brazo libertario.

Aquí se queda la clara...

Seguiremos adelante

como junto a ti seguimos,

y con Fidel te decimos

"¡Hasta siempre, Comandante!"

Aquí se queda la clara...

(carlos Puebla)

THE CELEBRATION OF THE LIZARD

Lions in the Street

Lions in the street & roaming
Dogs in heat, rabid, foaming
A beast caged in the heart of a city
The body of his mother
Rotting in the summer ground.
He fled the town.
He went down South
And crossed the border
Left the chaos & disorder
Back there
Over his shoulder.
One morning he awoke in a green hotel
With a strange creature groaning beside him
Sweat oozed from its shiny skin.

Wake Up

Is everybody in?
The ceremony is about to begin.
Wake up!
You can't remember where it was.
Had this dream stopped?
The snake was pale gold glazed & shrunken.
We were afraid to touch it.
The sheets were hot dead prisons.
And she was beside me, old,
She's, no; young.
Her dark red hair.
The white soft skin.
Now, run to the mirror in the bathroom,
Look!
She's coming in here.
I can't live thru each slow centuryof her moving.
I let my cheek slide down
The cool smooth tile
Feel the good cold stinging blood.
The smooth hissing snakes
of rain...

A Little Game

Once I had a little game
I liked to crawl back in my brain
I think you know the game I mean
I mean the game called "Go Insane"
Now you should try this little game
Just close your eyes, forget your name
forget the world, forget the people
and we'll erect a different steeple.
This little game is fun to do.
Just close your eyes, no way to lose
And I'm right here, I'm going too
Release control, we're breaking through

The Hill Dwellers

Way back deep into the brain
Way back past the realm of pain
Back where there's never any rain
And the rain falls gently on the town
And over the heads of all of us
And in the labyrinth of streams beneath
Quiet unearthly presence of
Nervous hill dwellers in the gentle hills around
Reptiles aboundingFossils, caves, cool air heights
Each house repeats a mold
Windows rolled
A beast car locked in against morning
All now sleeping
Rugs silent, mirrors vacant
Dust blind under the beds of lawful couples
Wound in sheets
And daughters, smug with semen
Eyes in their nipples
WAIT! There's been a slaughter here
Don't stop to speak or look around
Your gloves and fan are on the ground
We're getting out of town
We're going on the run
And you're the one I want to come!

Not to Touch the Earth

Not to touch the earth, not to see the sun
Nothing left to do but run, run, run
Let's run
Let's run
House upon the hill, moon is lying still
Shadows of the trees witnessing the wild breeze
Come on, baby, run with me
Let's run
Run with me
Run with me
Run with me, let's run
The mansion is warm at the top of the hill
Rich are the rooms and the comforts there
Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs
And you won't know a thing till you get inside
Dead president's corpse in the driver's car
The engine runs on glue and tar
Come on along, not going very far
To the East, to meet the Czar
Run with me
Run with me
Run with me, let's run
Some outlaws live by the side of a lake
The minister's daughter's in love with the snake
Who lives in a well by the side of the road
Wake up, girl! We're almost home
Sun, sun, sun
Burn, burn, burn
Moon, moon, moon
I will get you
Soon...
Soon...
Soon!
I AM THE LIZARD KING;
I CAN DO ANYTHING.

Names of the Kingdom

We came down the rivers and highways
We came down from forests and falls
We came down from Carson and Springfield
We came down from Phoenix enthralled
And I can tell you the names of the kingdom
I can tell you the things that you know
Listening for a fistful of silence
Climbing valleys into the shade

The Palace of Exile

For seven years I dwelt in the loose palace of exile
Playing strange games with the girls of the island
Now I have come again to the land of the fair
And the strong and the wise
Brothers and sisters of the pale forest
Children of night
Who among you will run with the hunt?
Now night arrives with her purple legion
Retire now to your tents and to your dreams
Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth
I want to be ready

LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS (THE BEATLES)

Picture yourself in boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds,

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies,
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.

Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you're gone.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds,

Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile,
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds.

Sgt. PEPPER'S LONELELY HEARTS CLUB BAND

It was twenty years ago today.

that Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play
They've been going in and out of style

But they're guaranteed to raise a smile.

So may I introduce to you

The act you've known for all these years,

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,

We hope you will enjoy the show,

We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,

Sit back and let the evening go.

Sgt. Pepper's lonely,

Sgt. Pepper's lonely,

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

It's wonderful to be here,
It's certainly a thrill.
You're such a lovely audience,
We'd like to take you home with us,
We'd love to take you home.


I don't really want to stop the show,
But I thought you might like to know,
That the singer'sgoning to sing a song,
And he wants you all to sing along.
So may I introduce to you
The one only Billy Shears
And Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS (THE BEATLES)

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps.
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps.

I don't know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love,
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you.

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps.
With every mistake we must surely be learning,
Still my guitar gently weeps.

I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too.
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you.

I look at you see all the love there that's sleeping,
While my guitar gently weeps.
I then look at you all,
Still my guitar gently weeps.

LOVE STREET (THE DOORS)

She lives on Love Street
Lingers long on Love Street
She has a house and garden
I would like to see what happens


She has robes and she has monkeys
Lazy diamond studded flunkies
She has wisdom and knows what to do
She has me and she has you


She has wisdom and knows what to do
She has me and she has you

I see you live on Love Street
There's this store where the creatures meet
I wonder what they do in there
Summer Sunday and a year
I guess I like it fine, so far

She lives on Love Street
Lingers long on Love Street
She has a house and garden
I would like to see what happens


La, la, la, la, la, la, la

LOVE HIDES (THE DOORS)

Love hides in the strangest places.
Love hides in familiar faces.
Love comes when you least expect it.
Love hides in narrow corners.
Love comes to those who seek it.
Love hides inside the rainbow.
Love hides in molecular structures.
Love is the answer.

IT'S A HARD LIFE

(Words and music by Freddie Mercury)

I don't want my freedom
There's no reason for living with a broken heart


This is a tricky situation
I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It can happen to anyone


You win - you lose
It's a chance you have to take with love
Oh yeah - I fell in love
And now you say it's over and I'm falling apart


It's a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're in love


I try and mend the broken piecesI
try to fight back the tears
They say it's just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone


How it hurts - deep inside
When your love has cut you down to size
Life is tough - on your own
Now I'm waiting for something to fall from the skies
And I'm waiting for love


Yes it's a hard life
Two lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another - right from the start
When you're in love


Yes it's a hard life
In a world that's filled with sorrow
There are people searching for love in ev'ry way
It's a long hard fight
But I'll always live for tomorrow
I'll look back on myself and say I did it for love
Yes I did it for love - for love - oh I did it for love

SHE (C. AZNAVOUR / H. KRETZMER)

She may be the face I can't forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She may be the song the summer sings
May be the chill the autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day


She may be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
The smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem inside her shell


She who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so crowded and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
But I'll remember till the day I die


She may be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough in many years
Me, I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is she
She
She

AS TIME GOES BY - LYRICS

As Time Goes By - (as you know it from Casablanca)

You must remember this
A kiss is just a kiss,
a sigh is just a sigh.
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.


And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you."
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.


Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date.
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate.
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny.


It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die.
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.


Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers

As time goes by.

As Time Goes By - (the complete version)

[This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like fourth dimension.


Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory.
So we must get down to earth at times
Relax relieve the tension


And no matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed.]


You must remember this
A kiss is just a kiss,
a sigh is just a sigh.
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.


And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you."
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.


Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date.
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate.
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny.


It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die.
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.


Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.
