Christmas Carol Extravaganza!

Last December 10, 2010 all the students of Saint Louis University Laboratory High School gathered in their covered court for their Christmas Cantata. All of the Louisians are well prepared, from the Seniors down to the Freshmen. Each year level has a uniform costume, the Freshmen had their Santa hat, the Sophomores are the angels, the Juniors are the Christmas elves, and lastly, the Seniors being Santa Clause's.  And since I am a Junior, I dressed up like an elf!

Junior Songs are listed below, with their lyrics! Enjoy! :)

The Prayer
I pray you’ll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don’t know

Let this be our prayer
As we go our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe

La luce che to dai
I pray we’ll find your light
Nel cuore restero
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarchi che
When stars go out each night
L’eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c’e
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe.

Sognamo un mondo senza piu violenza
A world where pain and sorrow will be ended
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
And every heart that's broken will be mended
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
And we'll rememeber we are all God's children
Simbolo di pace e di fraternita
Reaching out to touch You, reaching to the stars

La forza che ci dai
We ask that life be kind
E’il desiderio che
And watch us from above
Ognuno trovi amore
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro a se
Another soul to love
Let this be our prayer [2x]
Just like every child [2x]
Needs to find a place,
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe
E la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salvera




Last Christmas

CHO: [2x]

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 you 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

[Repeat Chorus 2x]

[Interlude]
[Repeat II]

[Repeat Chorus 2x]

A Perfect Christmas

My idea of a perfect Christmas
Is to spend it with you
In a party
Or dinner for two
Anywhere would do
Celebrating the yuletide season
Always lights up our lives
Simple pleasures are made special too
When they're shared with you
II:
Looking through some old photographs
Faces of friends we'll always remember
Watching busy shoppers rushing about
In the cool breeze of December
Sparkling lights, all over town
Children's carols in the air
By the Christmas tree
A shower of stardust on your hair
chorus:
I cant think of a better Christmas
Than my wish coming true
And my wish is you'd let me spend my whole life with you
repeat II
chorus
My idea of a perfect Christmas is to spend it with you 

Sa Araw Ng Pasko

'di ba't kay ganda sa atin ng pasko
Naiiba ang pagdiriwang dito
Pasko sa ati'y hahanap-hanapin mo
Walang katulad dito ang pasko

[Refrain]
Lagi mo na maiisip na sila'y nandito sana
At sa noche buena ay magkakasama

[Chorus]
Ang pasko ay kay saya kung kayo'y kapiling na
Sana pagsapit ng pasko, kayo'y naririto
Kahit pa malayo ka, kahit nasaan ka pa
Maligayang bati para sa inyo sa araw ng pasko

Sa ibang bansa'y 'di mo makikita
Ang ngiti sa labi ng bawat isa
Alam naming hindi n'yo nais malayo
Paskong pinoy pa rin sa ating puso

[repeat refrain]
[repeat chorus]

[Bridge]
Dito'y mayro'ng caroling at may simbang gabi
At naglalakihan pa ang christmas tree, ang christmas tree

[repeat chorus except last 4 words]
[repeat chorus]
