Tell It To Your Heart
Tell it to your heart, oh tell it,
Through your melody that is so sweet,
Like sweet music, in the middle of night
Oh, tell it to your heart.
Tell it to your heart, oh that I knew,
That in my heart I won’t stop loving you,
I found you so lovely as fresh as new,
Oh, tell it to your heart.
Tell it to your heart, my dear,
My lovely dear, that in me you won’t dissappear,
Is like the air I breathe here and there,
Oh, tell it to your heart.
Tell it to your heart, oh, I love your way,
I love it more today than I loved it yesterday,
In my heart, there is a place I want you to stay,
Oh, tell it to your heart.

A Girl That I Met
I met her down streets one evening,
She was coming out of what she calls home,
Where she had left a family,
That is her responsibility,

Cars, estates, houses and everything,
Leaving the kids with concrete poverty,
And the children are now suffering.
I asked that orphaned girl how she managed,
To feed the family at her age under eighteen,

Lonesome Feelings
I used to have so many friends around,
Who were always in my mind,
Them so many that my heart would defend,
Is only this, that I'm trying to understand,
That against them I wouldn't contend.
But I'm so lonely even in the crowd,
In the sea of people I'm like an island,
With lonesome feelings driving my own world,
I may anticipate on acquiring among them around,
But there's no one even to give me a hand.
I'm in a lonely room in a lonely world,
On a lonely chair put on the lonely land,
And the heart is nearly to burn a thread,
With my mood without a trend,
Knowing no one who can truly be a friend.
They left me so unaccompanied,
My tears were swept away by strong wind,
