(Spoken)
I'm gonna tell you about love
Let's forget your life
Forget your problems
Administration, bills, and loans
Come with me

In the evidence of its brilliance
(3x)

(Spoken)
In the demonstration of this evidence
Some have called it religion
This is not a coincidence
Would you like to try

Connect to the sky
Future lovers ride there in mission style
Would you like to try
Let me be your guide
Put aside your pride
Future lovers hide love inside their eyes

In the evidence of its brilliance
(3x)

Love controlled by time
Future lovers shine for eternity
In a world that's free
Put away your past
Love will never last
If you're holding on to a dream that's gone

(Spoken)
I'm gonna tell you about love
Would you like to try

In the evidence of its brilliance
(3x)

(Spoken)
There's no love like the future love
Come with me

Connect to the sky
Future lovers ride there in mission style
Would you like to try

[In the evidence of its brilliance] (repeat in background)
Connect to the sky
Future lovers ride there in mission style
Would you like to try

Brilliance (repeat, fading)

In the evidence of its brilliance

I don't like cities, but I like New York
Other places make me feel like a dork
Los Angeles is for people who sleep
Paris and London, baby you can keep

Baby you can keep
(7x)

Chorus:
Other cities always make me mad
Other places always make me sad
No other city ever made me glad
Except New York
I love New York
I love New York
I love New York

If you don't like my attitude, then you can 'F' off
Just go to Texas, isn't that where they golf
New York is not for little pussies who scream
If you can't stand the heat then get off my street
Get off my street

Get off my street
You get off my street
(3x)

(chorus)

I love New York

[Get off my street, get off my street]
(3x)

Get off my street
You get off my street
(3x)

Now I can tell you about success, about fame
About the rise and the fall of all the stars in the sky
Don't it make you smile
Let it will be
Just let it be
Won't you let it be

Now I can tell you about the place I belong
You know it won't last long
And all those lights they will turn down
Let it will be
Oh let it be
Just let it be
Won't you let it be

Now I can see things for what they really are
I guess I'm not that far
I'm at the point of no return
Just watch me burn

Let it will be
Just let it be
Oh let it be
Let it will be [Just let it be]
Just let it be [Let it will be]
Oh let it be [Got to let it be]
Oh let it be [Won't you let it be]

Now I can tell you the place that I belong
It won't last long
The lights, they will turn down

[Oh let it be]
[Oh let it be]
[Oh let it be]
Won't you let it be
[Oh let it be]
You got to let it be
[Just let it be]
Anyone can see
[Won't you let it be]
Let it will be

Just watch me burn
Oh let it be
Just let it be
Won't you let it be
Won't you let it be [Just let it be]
Oh let it be [Let it will be]
Just let it be [Got to let it be]
Won't you let it be [Won't you let it be]
Won't you let it be

Now I can tell you [Oh let it be]
Tell you, tell you, tell you, tell you [Just let it be]
About success, about fame [Won't you let it be]
About fame, about fame [Won't you let it be]
About fame, about fame

Oh let it be

Just one kiss on my lips
Was all it took to seal the future
Just one look from your eyes
Was like a certain kind of torture

Once upon a time
There was a boy and there was a girl
Just one touch from your hands
Was all it took to make me falter

Chorus:
Forbidden love
Are we supposed to be together
Forbidden love, forbidden love
Forbidden love
We sealed our destiny forever
Forbidden love, forbidden love

Just one smile on your face
Was all it took to change my fortune
Just one word from your mouth
Was all I needed to be certain

Once upon a time
There was a boy and there was a girl
Hearts that intertwine
They lived in a different kind of world

(chorus)

Just one kiss [Five]
Just one touch [Four]
Just one look [Three]
[Two]
[One]

(chorus 2x)

Just one kiss [Five]
Just one touch [Four]
Just one look [Three]
Just one love [Two]
[One]

(Spoken) There's only so much you can learn in one place The more that I wait, the more time that I waste I haven't got much time to waste, it's time to make my way I'm not afraid of what I'll face, but I'm afraid to stay I'm going down my own road and I can make it alone I'll work and I'll fight til I find a place of my own Chorus: Are you ready to jump Get ready to jump Don't ever look back, oh baby Yes, I'm ready to jump Just take my hands Get ready to jump We learned our lesson from the start, my sisters and me The only thing you can depend on is your family And life's gonna drop you down like the limbs of a tree It sways and it swings and it bends until it makes you see Chorus2: Are you ready to jump Get ready to jump Don't ever look back, oh baby Yes, I'm ready to jump Just take my hands Get ready to, are you ready (Spoken) There's only so much you can learn in one place The more that you wait, the more time that you waste I'll work and I'll fight til I find a place of my own It sways and it swings and it bends until you make it your own I can make it alone I can make it alone I can make it alone [my sisters and me] I can make it alone [my sisters and me] (repeat) (chorus) (chorus2)

 

How high are the stakes
How much fortune can you make
How high are the stakes
How much fortune can you make

It's funny, I spent my whole life wanting to be talked about
I did it, just about everything to see my name in lights

Was it all worth it
And how did I earn it
Nobody's perfect
I guess I deserved it

Chorus:
How high are the stakes
How much fortune can you make
Does this get any better
Should I carry on
Will it matter when I'm gone
Will any of this matter

It's funny how everybody mentions my name but they're never very nice
I took it, just about everything except my own advice

Was it all worth it
And how did I earn it
Nobody's perfect
I guess I deserved it

Chorus2:
How high are the stakes
How much fortune can you make
[Nothing lasts forever]
Does this get any better
Should I carry on
Will it matter when I'm gone
[Does it make a difference]
Will any of this matter

How high, does it make a difference
Nothing lasts forever
Should I, will it matter when I'm gone
Will any of this matter

How high are the stakes
How much fortune can you make
Should I carry on
Will it matter when I'm gone

(chorus)

How high are the stakes [How high]
Does it make a difference
Nothing lasts forever
Does this get any better
Should I carry on [Should I]
Will it matter when I'm gone
Does it make a difference
Will any of this matter

How high are the stakes
How much fortune can you make
Should I carry on
Will it matter when I'm gone
(repeat)

(Chant) Im nin'alu daltei n'divim daltei n'divim Daltei marom lo nin'alu (7x) Staring up into the heavens In this hell that binds your hands Will you sacrifice your comfort Make your way in a foreign land Wrestle with your darkness Angels call your name Can you hear what they are saying Will you ever be the same Chorus: Mmmmmm Im nin'alu, Im nin'alu Mmmmmm Im nin'alu, Im nin'alu Remember, remember, never forget All of your life has all been a test You will find the gate that's open Even though your spirit's broken Open up my heart And cause my lips to speak Bring the heaven and the stars Down to Earth for me (Chant) Im nin'alu daltei n'divim (chorus 2x) (Chant) El chai El Chai, mareimawm al kawruvim Kulawm b'rucho ya'alu Wrestle with your darkness Angels call your name Can you hear what they are saying Will you ever be the same (chorus 2x) (Chant) El chai El Chai, mareimawm al kawruvim (Spoken) The generous truly know What will be given Even if it does stop, you know The gates of heaven are always open And there's this God in the sky and the angels How they sit, you know, in front of the light And that's what it's about

Es gibt verschiedene Übersetzungen für den hebräischen Teil, da sich selbst die Gelehrten über die wahre Bedeutung des über 1000 Jahre alten Textes streiten. Hier einige Übersetzungen zur Auswahl, zuerst die, die Madonna selbst angibt:   If all of the doors of all of the generous peoples' homes are closed to you, the gates of heaven will always be open.   If the doors of the generous are closed, the doors of the Heights are not closed. The Living God reigns over the cherubs. In his spirit, all will rise.   If there be no mercy left in the world, the doors of heaven will never be barred. The Creator reigns supreme, and is higher than the angels. All, in His spirit, will rise.

 

You push me to go the extra mile
You push me when it's difficult to smile
You push me, a better version of myself
You push me, only you and no one else
You push me, see the other point of view
You push me when there's nothing else to do
You push me when I think I know it all
You push me when I stumble and I fall

Keep on pushing like nobody

Chorus1:
Every race I win, every mood I'm in
Everything I do, I owe it all to you
Every move I make, every step I take
Everything I know, it's all because you push me

You push me when I don't appreciate
You push me not to lie and not to hate
You push me when I want it all to end
You push me when I really need a friend
You push me, all I wanna do is cry
You push me when it's hard for me to try
You push me, learn to do it for myself
You push me, only you and no one else

Keep on pushin' like nobody

Chorus2:
Every race I win, every mood I'm in
Everything I do, I owe it all to you
Every move I make, every step I take
Everything I do, it's all because you push me

You push me

Keep on pushing like nobody
Keep on, keep on

Every race I win [To go the extra mile]
Every mood I'm in [When it's difficult to smile]
Everything I do [A better version of myself]
[Only you and only you and only you]
Every move I make [To see the other point of view]
Every step I take [When there's nothing else to do]
Everything I do [When I think I know it all]

It's all because you push me

You push me

You can call me a sinner
Or you can call me a saint
Celebrate me for who I am
Dislike me for what I ain't
Put me up on a pedestal
Or drag me down in the dirt
Sticks and stones will break my bones
But your names will never hurt

I'll be the garden, you'll be the snake
All of my fruit is yours to take
Better the devil that you know
Your love for me will grow
Because

Chorus1:
This is who I am
You can like it or not
You can love me or leave me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop

Cleopatra had her way
Mata Hari, too
Whether they were good or bad
Is strictly up to you

Life is a paradox
And it doesn't make much sense
Can't have the "femme" without the "fatale"
Please don't take offense

Don't let the fruit rot under the vine
Fill up your cup and let's drink the wine
Better the devil that you know
Your love for me will grow
Because

Chorus2:
This is who I am
You can like it or not
You can love me or leave me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop
No no, You know

(2x)

No no, you know

You can love me or leave me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop
No no, You know

(2x)

No no, you know

What you gonna do when your love is gone
Who you gonna play when the game has ended
Where you gonna go when the bird has flown
How you gonna play when you're all alone

Chorus:
Keep the fighting spirit of love

What you gonna do when you're on your own
What you gonna have when you got no place to call your own
What you gonna try when your cover's blown
How you gonna fly when your wings are broken

(chorus 2x)

Don't let it get you down
Keep the fighting spirit and turn your head around
Don't let it take you in
Keep the fighting spirit and you'll begin again

(chorus 3x)

If I was an animal I'd be a lion
If I was a car I'd be an Aston Martin
If I was a genius I'd be Isaac Newton
If I was a hero I'd be Martin Luther

If you do you'll never stop [never stop]

(chorus 2x)

[The top]

If I was a star I would be who I am today
If I was a fighter I'd be Cassius Clay
If I was emotion I would be intense
If I was a man I would be president

I'll be different if I'm the president
I'll be different if I'm the president

Ooo, yeah
Ooo, yeah
Ooo, yeah

If I was an animal I'd be a dog
If I was a dog I would be a man
If I was a man I'd be the president
If I was a president I'd be different
