Heimilisritið - 01.07.1956, Side 22

Því ástin á öll völci,
er máninn skín.
Og þá einn áttu mig,
þú ert mér allt, ég elska þig.

IT’S A NEW WORLD
How wonderful that I’m beholding
A Never-Never Land unfolding:
Where we polish up the stars
And mountains we move
In a life where all the pleasures we will
prove.
Refrain:
It’s a new world I see a new world for me!
The tears have rolled of my cheek
And fears fade away ev’ry time you
speak,
A new world though we’re in a tiny
room,
What a vision of joy and blossom and
bloom!
A newfound promise, one that will last,
So, I’m holding on and I’ m holding fast!
You brought a new world to me,
And that it’ll always, always be!

LEARNIN’ THE BLUES
(Lag og texti: Doleres Vicki Silvers)
Refrain:
The tables are empty,
The dance floor’s deserted,
You play the same love song,
ilt’s the tenth time you’ve heard it.
That’s the beginning,
ijust one of the clues,
You’ve had your first lesson,
In Learnin’ Tbc Blues.
The cigarettes you light,
One after anotlier,
Won’t hclp you forget her
And the way that you love her;
You’re only burning a torch you can’t
lose,
But you’re on the right track,
For Learnin’ Tbe Blues.
When yo’re at home alone,
The blues will taunt you constantiy.
When you’re out in a crowd,
The blues will haunt your memory.
Thc nights when you don’t sleep,
The whole night you’re cryin’.
But you can’t forget her,
Soon you even stop tryin';
You’ll walk the floor
And wear out your shoes,
When you feel your heart break,
you’re Learnin’ The Blues.
The tables are Blues.

GÍTANA
Lag: Sal. Heiðar
Glettin er í svörum
gáskinn á vörunum hlær.
Hjarta harmþrungið slær.
Lokkar, veiðir brosmildin blíða.
Ginnir og seiðir Gítana tríða.
Tregi í barminum titrar,
tár á hvarminum glitrar.
Orar slær hjartað heita.
Hugur friðar leitar.
Frið hún aidrei fær.
hvern mann vélar hún,
hlæjandi kvelur hún,
Sá er hún elskar er kaldur sem snær.
Aldrei, aldrci frið hún fær.
