English and Paris! Paris holds the key to your heart!


[ACCORDIAN PLAYER]
Lovers!

[LADY FLOWER SELLER]
Ooh La La!

[SOPHIE]
Welcome, my friends, to Paris.
Here, have a flower on me.
Forget where you're from.
You're in France!
Children, come!
I'll show you that French joie de vivre!

Paris holds the key to your hear.
And all of Paris plays a part.

[ACCORDIAN PLAYER AND FLOWER SELLER]
Just stroll two by two
Down what we call "la rue"

[SOPHIE AND ALL]
And soon all Paris
Will be singing to you!
Ooh La La
Ooh La La
Ooh La La!

[MAURICE CHEVALIER]
Paris holds the key to l'amour!

[FREUD]
And not even Freud knows the cure.

[AVIATOR]
There's love in the air!

[JOSEPHINE BAKER]
At the Follies Begere!

[ARTISTE]
The French have it down to an art!

[ALL]
Paris hold the key to your heart!

[SOPHIE]
When you're feeling blue
Come to Le Moulin.
When your heart says don't,
The French say do!

[CAN CAN GIRLS]
When you think you can't
You'll find you can can!

[SOPHIE]
Everyone can can can!

[SOPHIE AND CAN CAN GIRLS]
You can can can too!
Whee!
Whee!
Whee!

[DIMITRI]
Paris hold the key to her past.
Yes, Princess, I've found you at last.
No more pretend,
You'll be gone,
That's the end...

[ENSEMBLE]
Paris hold the key
To your heart!

[COUTURIER]
You'll be "tres jolie" and so smart!

[ISADORA DUNCAN]
Come dance through the night

[RODIN]
And forget all your woes

[SOPHIE AND ALL]
The city of light

[GERTRUDE STEIN]
Where a rose is a rose!

[SOPHIE AND ALL]
And one never knows what will start!
Paris
Holds the key...

[DIMITRI]
To her...

[SOPHIE AND ALL]
Heart!

[SOPHIE]
Ooh La La!

[ALL]
Ooh La La!

A mix between two cultures: England e Roma

Don't you ever wish you had songs in different languages? how to say it....TO CHOOSE!
here I come this time with an italenglish song! On an evening in Roma
So, don't forget! next time you travel to Rome, make sure you sing so people know not just that they can talk to you in english, but that they can also speak italian to you (in case you pronounce right haha). Just kidding, but it's a beautiful song.




Como e' bella ce' la luna brille e' strette
strette como e' tutta bella a passeggiare
Sotto il cielo di Roma
Down each avenue or via, street or strada
You can see 'em disappearing two by two
On an evening in Roma
Do they take 'em for espresso?
Yeah, I guess so.
On each lover's arm a girl I wish I knew...
On an evning in Roma.
Though there's grining and mandolining in sunny Italy
The beginning has just begun when the sun goes down ...So please meet me in the plaza near your casa
I am only one and one is much too few...
On an evening in Roma.
Don't know what the country's coming to -
but in Rome do as the Romans do
Will you? On an evening in Roma ...
Como e' bella ce' la luna brille e' strette
strette como e' tutta bella a passeggiare
Sotto il cielo di Roma
Don't know what the country's coming to -
but in Rome do as the Romans do ...
Will you? On an evening in Roma ...
Sott'er celo de Roma ...
On an evening in Roma ....
