Ef það er eitthvað lag sem fær mig til að brosa og fá sæluhroll þá er það þetta lag. Jafnvel þótt reynt hafi verið að nauðga þessu lagi með hallæris íslenskum texta þá er ekki hægt að gera út af við frumútgáfuna. Ég fæ ekki leið á þessu jólalagi.

Ladies and gentlemen... I give you:

» Last Christmas - Wham «

Happy Christmas

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but tears still catch my eye
Tell me, baby, do you recognize me?
Well...It's been a year; it doesn't surprise me

Happy Christmas--I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying, "I love you"; I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Oh... oh baby

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me, I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover, but you tore me apart
Ooh, now I've found a real love
You'll never fool me again

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave me away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover, but you tore him apart
Maybe next year

I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special, special
Someone...someone

I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special

Who'll give me something in return
oh my heart it want's to burn

I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special

I thought you were here to stay
how can love be for a day
I thought you were someone special
gave you my heart

I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
You gave it away

I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone

Þetta lag fær mig alltaf til að brosa. Ég er ekki að kaupa þennan texta en mér finnst hann samt sætur. Hefur alltaf fundist hann sætur. Ég brýt hér með regluna mína og hef íslenskt lag í song of the week for the first time for the last time.

I see your schwartz is as big as mine...

» Ég skal syngja fyrir þig - Björgvin Halldórs «

Ég áði eina nótt
en áfram stefnir leið
æ, geymum tregatár
ég aðeins tafði hér um skeið
en ég er maður sviðs og söngva
og ég syng þar sem menn borga
ég er ráðinn annarstaðar annað kvöld

[Flott hiss hljóð]

Ég fæ kannsk' ekki fé um of
né frægðar hárrar nýt
ég valdi forðum veg
og þennan veg ég ganga hlýt
ef getur skaltu gleyma
vera glöð og reynað dreyma
að hamingja og ást þín bíði enn

[Ég að spila á sögina mína]

En þegar ástarsöngva syng ég
skal ég syngja fyrir þig
hvað sem aðrir í þeim finna
átt þú ein að skilja mig [Ég að spila á sögina mína]
yfir fullan sal af fólki
þar sem freyðir gullið vín [tregafullir strengir]
gegnum haf af hundrað brosum
mun ég horf' í augu þín

Það kemur ætíð kveðjustund
ég hvatt hef fyrr en nú
því áfram liggur leið
og þá leið ei ratar þú
það myndi seinna svíða meira
við myndum seinna skemma fleira
svo vertu sæl.. ég verð að fara nú

[Ég að spila á sögina mína]

En þegar ástarsöngva syng ég
skal ég syngja fyrir þig
hvað sem aðrir í þeim finna
átt þú ein að skilja mig [Ég að spila á sögina mína]
yfir fullan sal af fólki
þar sem freyðir gullið vín [tregafullir strengir]
gegnum haf af hundrað brosum
mun ég horf' í augu þín

[Ég að spila á sögina mína]

En þegar ástarsöngva syng ég
skal ég syngja fyrir þig
hvað sem aðrir í þeim finna
átt þú ein að skilja mig
yfir fullan sal af fólki
þar sem freyðir gullið vín [tregafullir strengir]
gegnum haf af hundrað brosum
mun ég horf' í augu þín

[Ég að spila á sögina mína]

En þegar ástarsöngva syng ég
skal ég syngja fyrir þig
hvað sem aðrir í þeim finna
átt þú ein að skilja mig [Brjálað sóló á sögina]
yfir fullan sal af fólki
þar sem freyðir gullið vín [tregafullir strengir]
gegnum haf af hundrað brosum
mun ég horf' í augu þín

Ég elska þetta lag. Mér finnst röddin í Mary svo hrikalega flott, get hlustað á þetta endalaust. Annars finnst mér þetta ótrúlega vel heppnað remake af Stevie Wonder lagi. Maður bara fer ósjálfrátt að smella fingrum... -og brosa!

Mér finnst þetta vera gospel lag. Praise love. Úhú.. og ég er edrú þegar ég skrifa þetta!

» As - George Michael - Mary J. Blige «

As around the sun the earth knows she’s revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early may
Just as hate knows love’s the cure
You can rest your mind assured
That I’ll be loving you always

As now can’t reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing we'll grow older every day
Just as all that's born is new
you know what I say is true
That I’ll be loving you always

Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky -always
Until the ocean covers every mountain high - I said it's gonna be always
Until the day that 8 times 8 times 8 is 4 - you know it's gonna be always
Until the day is the day that are no more

Did you know that true love asks for nothing
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever another day

As today I know I’m living but tomorrow
Could make me the past
But that I mustn’t fear - cause youre here
Now I know deep in my mind
The love of me I’ve left behind
and I’ll be loving you always

Loving you until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Loving you until the ocean covers every mountain high
I'll be loving you until the dolphin fly and parrots live at sea
Loving you until we dream of live and live becomes a dream
- now ain't that loving you
Until the day is night and night becomes the day
- always
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
- I'll be loving you forever
Until the day that 8 times 8 times 8 is 4
- always
Until the day that is the day that are no more

Did you know that true love asks for nothing - true love don't want a thing
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last forever... another day

As around the sun the earth knows she’s revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early may
now I know deep in my mind
The love of me I’ve left behind
and I’ll be loving you always

Loving you until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
I'll be loving you until the ocean covers every mountain high
Always - 'till the dolphin fly and parrots live at sea
Loving you until we dream of live and live becomes a dream - now ain't that loving you

Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Until the day that 8 times 8 times 8 is 4 -
Until the day that is the day that are no more

Check this

I'll be loving you
always
always
always
always
always
always
always
always
always

Untill the day

Check this I'll be loving you

always
always
always

Oh.. þetta lag fær mig til að brosa... yndislegt lag.

» Isn't She Lovely - Stevie Wonder «

Isn't she lovely
Isn't she wonderfull
Isn't she precious
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we'd be
Making one as lovely as she
But isn't she lovely made from love

Isn't she pretty
Truly the angel's best
Boy, I'm so happy
We have been heaven blessed
I can't believe what God has done
through us he's given life to one
But isn't she lovely made from love

Isn't she lovely
Life and love are the same
Life is Aisha
The meaning of her name
Londie, it could have not been done
Without you who conceived the one
That's so very lovely made from love
