Everything has a meaning in the universe, you, me,
If you see the night, a shooting star,
Someone surely loves you, have a dream,
Make a wish; listen gently to your heart.
Everything has a meaning in the universe, time,
La Valsa Da Dor de villa Lobos, all music
Cradles your heart with a soft sun, sapphire
Make a wish; listen gently to your heart.
Everything has a meaning in the universe, you too,
Cities in peace are the most beautiful, yes,
The sky, the night, the jams of mirabelles,
Write a poem; listen gently to your heart.
Tout a un sens dans l’univers, toi, moi,
Si vous voyez la nuit, une étoile filante,
Quelqu’un vous aime surement, faites un rêve,
Faites un vœu, écoutez gentiment votre cœur.
Tout a un sens dans l’univers, le temps,
La Valsa Da Dor de villa Lobos, la musique
Berce votre cœur d’un doux soleil, saphique
Faites un vœu, écoutez gentiment votre cœur.
Tout a un sens dans l’univers, vous aussi,
Les villes en paix sont les plus belles, oui,
Le ciel, la nuit, les confitures de mirabelles,
Écrivez un poème, écoutez gentiment votre cœur.

I’M COMPOSING MYSELF FOR CHRISTMAS
I’ve done all my Christmas CHOPIN
And got everything on my LISZT.
All in all I’ve been frightfully BIZET
And the Christmas break will be BLISS.
I’m away to the VILLA-LOBOS,
In HAYDN until New Year’s Day,
With a girl in my arms who’s mad about BRAHMS
And the note on the HANDEL will say,
“For GOUNOD’S sake do not disturb us
Except for our SUPPE tray
With two glasses of sweet MARTINU
And a bowl of crème BOULEZ.”
The COLE PORTER’S built the fire up,
The TELLEMAN’S tuned in the set,
We’ll POULENC ourselves down on the sofa
And drop ORFF and try to forget.
