Latin lyrics -- English version
Adeste Fidelis

Adeste, fideles, laeti triumphantes;
Venite, venite in Bethlehem.
Natum videte Regem angelorum.

Refrain:
Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus, Dominum.

Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine,
Parturit virgo mater,
Deum verum, genitum, non factum
.

Refrain

Cantet nunc hymnos chorus angelorum,
Cantet nunc aula caelestium:
Gloria, gloria in excelsis Deo;

Refrain

Ergo qui natus die hodierna,
Iesu, tibi sit gloria:
Patris aeterni verbum caro factum:

Refrain

O Come, All Ye Faithful

O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
Come ye, O come ye, to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him, born the King of angels;

Refrain:
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

True God of true God, Light from Light Eternal,
Lo, he shuns not the Virgin's womb;
Son of the Father, begotten, not created;

Refrain

Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation;
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God, all glory in the highest;

Refrain

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning;
Jesus, to Thee be glory given;
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing.

Refrain

"America"
by Neil Diamond

Far -- We've been traveling far
Without a home -- But not without a star

Free -- Only want to be free
We huddle close -- Hang on to a dream

On the boats and on the planes -- They're coming to America
Never looking back again -- They're coming to America

Home, don't it seem so far away
Oh, we're traveling light today
In the eye of the storm
In the eye of the storm

Home, to a new and a shiny place
Make our bed, and we'll say our grace
Freedom's light burning warm
Freedom's light burning warm

Everywhere around the world -- They're coming to America
Every time that flag's unfurled -- They're coming to America
Got a dream to take them there -- They're coming to America
Got a dream they've come to share -- They're coming to America
They're coming to America -- They're coming to America
They're coming to America -- They're coming to America

Today, today, today, today, today

My country 'tis of thee -- Today
Sweet land of liberty -- Today
Of thee I sing -- Today
Of thee I sing -- Today

"I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus"
by T. Connor (c) 1952

I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night.
She didn't see me creep
down the stairs to have a peep;
She thought that I was tucked
up in my bedroom fast asleep.

Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white;
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night.

"Maria Elena"
 written by L. Barcelato


Maria Elena you're the answer to a prayer;
Maria Elena can't you see how much I care?
To me your voice is like the echo of a sigh;
And when you're near my heart can speak above a sigh

Maria Elena say that we will never part;
Maria Elena take me to your heart.
A love like mine is great enough for two;
To share this love is really all I ask of you.

Maria Elena say that we will never part;
Maria Elena take me to your heart.
A love like mine is great enough for two;
To share this love is really all I ask of you.

"L'Italiano"
by Toto Cutugno

Lasciatemi cantare
con la chitarra in mano
lasciatemi cantare
sono un italiano.

Buongiorno Italia, gli spaghetti al dente
e un partigiano come Presidente
con l'autoradio sempre nella mano destra
e un canarino sopra la finestra.

Buon giorno Italia con i tuoi artisti
con troppa America sui manifesti
con le canzoni, con amore, con il cuore,
con piu` donne, sempre meno suore.

Buon giorno Italia, buongiorno Maria
con gli occhi pieni di malinconia
buon giorno Dio
lo sai che ci sono anch'io.

Lasciatemi can tare
con la chitarra in mano
lasciatemi cantare una canzone piano piano
lasciatemi cantare
perche` ne sono fiero
sono un italiano
un italiano vero.


Buongiorno, Italia, che non si spaventa
e con la crema da barba alla menta
con un vestito gessato sul blu
e la moviola la domenica in TV.

Buongiorno Italia col caffe` ristretto
le calze nuove nel primo cassetto
con la bandiera in tintoria
e una 600 giu` in carrozzeria.

Buongiorno Italia, buongiorno Maria
con gli occhi pieni di malinconia
buongiorno Dio
lo sai che ci sono anch'io.

Lasciatemi cantare
con la chitarra in mano
lasciatemi cantare una canzone piano piano
lasciatemi cantare
perche` ne sono fiero
sono un italiano
un italiano vero.

Lasciatemi cantare
con la chitarra in mano
lasciatemi cantare
sono un italiano
lasciatemi cantare
perche` ne sono fiero
sono un italiano
un italiano vero.
