[Verse] Dornstadter wakes up Dawn cracks the night A badge in his hand And a heart full of fright He walks through the city All shadow and gray Another long shift Just trudging away [Verse 2] The streets are a jungle The corners a maze Whispers of trouble in the morning haze His eyes tell a story A tale of despair For years on the force have pulled at his hair [Chorus] Blue collar burden Worn on his chest Dornstadter wanders Seeking no rest Dreams of the morning when he’ll say goodbye To a job he despises Under the sky [Verse 3] His wife talks of freedom A life overseas Where they can finally be at ease But every paycheck binds him in chains The uniform heavy with anguish and pains [Verse 4] Colleagues with laughter But eyes dark and old Trading their stories Some bitter Some bold But Dornstadter sighs He’s tired of the game He curses each night And spits his own name [Chorus] Blue collar burden Worn on his chest Dornstadter wanders Seeking no rest Dreams of the morning when he’ll say goodbye To a job he despises Under the sky

**नन्हे तारे, प्यारे तारे** नन्हे तारे, प्यारे तारे, झिलमिल करते नभ के द्वारे। चुपके से जब रात में आते, सपनों की दुनिया सजकर जाती। हवा संग झूमें पेड़ की डाली, चंदा मामा हँसी में डाली। नील गगन में तैरती नावें, परियों जैसी सुनहरी छाँवें। कोयल गाए मीठे गाने, फूल महकते बगिया में। तितली बोले रंगों की भाषा, किसने दी ये दुनिया प्यारी? सूरज जब भी आता है, नई किरण संग लाता है। नए उमंग, नए उजाले, बच्चों के मन चाँद से प्यारे! खेलो-कूदो, हँसो-गाओ, नए सपनों की जोत जलाओ। मन में हो बस सच्चाई, हर दिन लाए खुशहाली!
Verse 1: (Male Voice): I glow as an ember in winter’s deep, A spark that fights through the snow to keep, My warmth cuts sharp ‘gainst the icy sting, Searching for you, my heart takes wing. Through Canada’s frost, I blaze alone, A fire alive, seeking its home. Ashera (Female Voice): I drift as a breeze, so cold, so free, Whispering soft through the evergreen sea, My chill sweeps wide o’er the frozen plain, Longing for you through the ice and rain. In Canada’s wild, I call your name, A gust of love, a fleeting flame. Chorus (Together, Harmonizing): Oh, my love, we’re near, so near, Ember and breeze in the silence hear, When our souls entwine, the storm will cease, Bringing Canada harmony and peace. From snowy peaks to the quiet shore, Our love ignites forevermore. Verse 2: (Male Voice): I smolder through nights of endless white, A ember’s glow in the fading light, Your voice, a shiver, stirs my flame, I burn for you, whisper your name. The frost may bite, but I’ll not fade, For y
[Verse] Di bawah langit biru cerah Kita berdua bermimpi indah Dengan senyum dan tawa yang ramah Cinta ini tumbuh terarah [Verse 2] Di antara pohon bambu tinggi Kisah cinta kita terukir rapi Seperti angin yang berbisik manis Hati kita takkan pernah teriris [Chorus] Cinta di Jawa ini abadi Seperti sungai yang mengalir pasti Walau badai datang menghampiri Kami kan tetap berdiri [Verse 3] Di tengah ladang padi hijau Kita berdua bercanda riang Dengan tangan saling berpegangan Cinta kita tak pernah hilang [Bridge] Saat bintang malam bersinar cerah Kau dan aku saling mengusap lelah Mengukir mimpi dalam moonlight Cinta kita kuat seindah [Chorus] Cinta di Jawa ini abadi Seperti sungai yang mengalir pasti Walau badai datang menghampiri Kami kan tetap berdiri
Bawat noon, Bawat ngayon Bawat saya, Bawat lungkot Bawat hangin na tinatanggap, bawat buga Kalaro ang kaibigan, ang araw ay masaya, Ngunit sa ngayon, lahat ay abala sa teknolohiya. Ngayon at noon, magkaibang mundo, Sa pagbabago, saan tayo pupunta? Dati’y sariwang hangin, ngayon ay alon ng stress, Hinahanap ang pag-ibig sa likod ng bawat click. Dati, naglalakad, nag-uusap sa tabi, Ngayon, text at chat, di na tayo masyadong nagkikita. Bawat kwentuhan, may init ng pagsasama, Pero ngayon, panandalian, pagkakaibigan ay mabilis mawala. Ngayon at noon, magkaibang mundo, Sa pagbabago, saan tayo pupunta? Dati’y sariwang hangin, ngayon ay alon ng stress, Hinahanap ang pag-ibig sa likod ng bawat click. Balikan ang alaala, damhin ang saya, Sa bawat tawanan, buhay ay kay ganda. Sana’y matutunan ang halaga ng simpleng araw, Kahit saan, kahit kailan, misan ay oras ay mahalaga. Ngayon at noon, magkaibang mundo, Sa pagbabago, saan tayo pupunta? Dati’y sariwang hangin, ngayon ay alon ng stress, Hinahanap ang pag-ibig sa likod ng bawat click.
[Verse] Tus ojos son espejo del sol Brillando en la noche sin miedo Silencio que envuelve mi amor Sueños que comparto en secreto [Verse 2] Camina descalza en el viento Susurra promesas al mar Baila con la luna en el cielo Besos que nunca se van [Chorus] Y yo grito tu nombre al viento Sin miedo de la oscuridad Tu risa es mi único aliento Contigo me quiero quedar [Verse 3] Las estrellas nos miran danzando En un rincón del firmamento Tus manos en mi piel temblando Magia en cada momento [Chorus] Y yo grito tu nombre al viento Sin miedo de la oscuridad Tu risa es mi único aliento Contigo me quiero quedar [Bridge] El reloj se detiene en tus brazos Tiempo que nunca se apresura Eternos en un triste ocaso Amor que en silencio murmura
[Verse] In the morning light so clear Whispers of your name appear Through the trees that sway by day Love like ours won't fade away [Chorus] Ooh Tender winds they call your name In my heart it's just the same Every breath you take I find You're forever in my mind [Verse] Sunsets paint the sky so blue Every shade reminds me of you Hand in hand we'll walk this road With you I'll carry any load [Chorus] Ooh Tender winds they call your name In my heart it's just the same Every breath you take I find You're forever in my mind [Verse] Stars above They light our nights Guiding us through endless fights In the valleys deep and wide With you I will always abide [Chorus] Ooh Tender winds they call your name In my heart it's just the same Every breath you take I find You're forever in my mind
[Verse] In the shadow of the morning grey There's a silent war we fight each day Underneath the skin where whispers play Invisible battles don't fade away [Verse 2] Like a thief in the night it comes around In the quiet moments without a sound Through these veins where courage is found We rise above we won't be bound [Chorus] We're stronger than we seem Chasing down a wild dream In the depths where shadows stream Together we’ll redeem [Verse 3] Through the scars that time can't erase We find strength in every hidden place A million voices in this race Refusing to be a silent face [Chorus] We're stronger than we seem Chasing down a wild dream In the depths where shadows stream Together we’ll redeem [Bridge] So let's lift our heads up high Underneath the same blue sky No longer will we stand and cry In unity We amplify

[Verse] En el campo me paseo, con mi viejo sombrero, Pero ahora en la red, encuentro lo que quiero, Moda Express encanta, con su brillo y color, Ropa pa' mi alma, que me llena de amor. [Verse 2] En el rancho me visto, con estilo y sencillez, Compro por la web, ya no es un estrés, Tan fácil hacer clic, mi pedido ya salió, Llegará prontito, como un banco de amor. [Chorus] Moda Express me viste, cada día y cada noche, Con ropas y zapatos, y un toque bien grandote, En la red la encuentro, y sin más esperar, Ropa pa' mi vida, me hace suspirar. [Verse 3] Mi camisa de cuadros, y mis botas de cuero, Todo lo elijo, sin salir de mi cerebro, En Moda Express navego, y encuentro mi lugar, Ropa perfecta, para mi andar rural. [Bridge] No hay tienda ni almacén, que me llene el corazón, Como la página web, de Moda Express con razón, Desde mi sillón, a todo el país, Llego con estilo, sin error, ¡más que feliz! [Chorus] Moda Express me viste, cada día y cada noche, Con ropas y zapatos, y un toque bien grandote, En la red la encuentro, y sin más esperar, Ropa pa' mi vida, me hace suspirar.
Verse 1) The front door looms, a daunting wall The world outside, a distant call Every time we step into the light The vibrant hues turn shades of night Everything's just painted gray Wishing I could just run away (Chorus) The world outside feels so far away Lost in the echoes of yesterday Depression's grip, anxiety clings tight Struggling to find my own inner light I'm adrift at sea, without a clue I don't know what to do, what to do (Verse 2) The faces blur, a rushing tide Each passing glance, a place to hide My heart races, a frantic drum Wishing I could just become numb The silence roars, a deafening sound Lost and hopeless, nowhere bound (Chorus) The world outside feels so far away Lost in the echoes of yesterday Depression's grip, anxiety clings tight Struggling to find my own inner light I'm adrift at sea, without a clue I don't know what to do, what to do (Bridge) Maybe there's a hand to hold A story waiting to unfold A flicker of hope, a tiny spark To guide me through the endless dark I gotta find the strength to try To reach for blue, and kiss the sky (Chorus) The world outside feels so far away Lost in the echoes of yesterday Depression's grip, anxiety clings tight Struggling to find my own inner light I'm adrift at sea, without a clue I don't know what to do, what to do (Outro) But maybe tomorrow, the gray will fade And a little color will be displayed I don't know what to do, but I'll keep trying To find my way, and keep on flying. To find my way, and keep on flying.
"The Way of the Mine" (Dwarven Work Song) (Verse 1) Strike the stone and feel the thunder, Pick and hammer, ring like chimes. Digging deep, we tear asunder, Carving out the heart of time. (Pre-Chorus) Through the dark, through the dust, We stand strong, 'cause we must. Gold and iron, gems that shine, All are bound to the way of the mine. (Chorus) Swing that hammer, break that stone, Dig until the roots are shown. By the forge and by design, We live and die by the way of the mine! (Verse 2) Coal and silver, dwarven treasure, Buried in the bones of old. Not for greed, but craft and measure, Molding earth with hands so bold. (Pre-Chorus) Through the dark, through the dust, We stand strong, 'cause we must. Gold and iron, gems that shine, All are bound to the way of the mine. (Chorus) Swing that hammer, break that stone, Dig until the roots are shown. By the forge and by design, We live and die by the way of the mine! (Bridge) When the tunnels quake and shudder, When the lantern’s light grows dim, We hold strong, beside each other, Raise our voices, sing our hymn! (Final Chorus – with extra might!) Swing that hammer, break that stone, Dig until the roots are shown. By the forge and by design, We live and die by the way of the mine! (Outro - Fading into echoes through the caverns) We live and die… by the way of the mine…
