1.Orpheus Music: Manos Hadjidakis Lyrics: Dorian Rudnytsky Soul on fire I dared the gods My shadow is your guide Through the hollow and I came, you pause Follow me Up the hill, so hard, so hard To keep you from my eyes Have to turn around and see your face Follow me Come star of dawn Come fall of night Come follow me I follow you through a broken dream I’ve set my sail So hard to wait To see your face Though I’ve been warned «Never turn around»

2. The Day Music: Manos Hadjidakis Lyrics: Brian Corrigan Sitting in the time of day When the sun is very warm Dreaming in a kind of way That a dream is always born Drifting with the things I feel When I put away my will Sleeping in the time of day When the sun is very still I’m alone Here with you Take my time, Take me too Leaving in the time of day When the sun is getting cold Walking in the kind of way When a story has been told Walking through the things I love And my heart is very still Hoping that I’ll dream again And I cannot live until I’m alone Here with you Take my time, Take me too

Love Her Music: Manos Hadjidakis Lyrics: Brian Corrigan Love her Love her from the spring time Love her for the days that you live Mmm Kiss her Kiss her when she’s laughing Kiss her for the nights that you love Mmm And you will know how very special It is to love her And she can feel the loving grow With every day you live Know her Know the way she’s feeling Know that if you love her she’s yours Mmm Interlude Hold her Hold her when she’s crying Hold her till your heart’s mend the wound, Mmm

5. Kemal

Music: Manos Hadjidakis Lyrics: Martin Fulterman This is the story of foolish Prince Bass Fiddle and wise Jerry Kemal. As you remember, last time, the Prince was found without a dime on the Ponce Valdez while Jerry watched from a tree... Interlude In the land of Ali Baba Near the Sea of Babalee, Lived a man who played the zither with a pronoun on his knee He would dance among the fuzzy trees and bring the birds to life And his name was Prince Bass Fiddle And he loved his ugly wife. He would sing the songs of Lutvee in his very special way And he puffed tea with his lumpy head and sleep all night and day. With his turban and his Leicester faced the thieves of Germany But beware great Prince Bass Fiddle You I’ll be hanging from a tree. Fifty days and nights they waited for a sign from old Ratan To pretend to wear the colours of the Emperor Charlie Chan So they strolled into the forest with a song and energy To find bay leaves in the cauldron of the mad witch Betty Lee. Came the answer from a leaf top that was found upon the ground "only time and Prince Bass Fiddle will repair your bellies round. Search the highlands search the lowlands, cruise the Sea of Babalee, But remember that your children need the food from filigree."

Interlude Then one day in Abalone came a messenger to say That onion-head Bass Fiddle Broke in half no more to play. Will we lose our land of Lutvee To the bearded men of Cleaves? Only miracles can save us And some tricks inside our sleeves. From the sky there was an answer to the question of the plebes "You will meet a tall dark stranger Wearing black and blue cannives. Who is Lucy, who is Nestor? We should only be there now. Why it’s Aphrodite Milton and his keeper Prince Kemal. Goodnight Kemal (This world will never change) Goodnight.

6. Dedication Music: Manos Hadjidakis Lyrics: Clifton Nivison Feels like I'm getting older I'm not afraid All though I'm worlds apart from yesterday And yet I can't believe, I'm old enough today To be In love, and feel in love And see if love’s the way I don't need fancy places to spend the time I'm happy just to be here with you tonight And yet I'm not so sure the time it's really right To be in love and feel in love And see if love is all right And you will sing As long as there's a song The feeling’s never gone It was the first time to be in love. Maybe tomorrow I'll never sing again But I'll remember when It was the first time to be in love The pictures slowly fading And now it's gone The letters we remember are old and torn And although the time has passed The memory lingers on To be in love, and feel in love And know when love is gone

And you will sing As long as there's a song The feeling’s never gone It was the first time to be in love. Maybe tomorrow I'll never sing again But I'll remember when It was the first time to be in love Interlude Ending 7. Three Answers (Instrumental) Music composed by Manos Hadjidakis

8. Street Song Music: Manos Hadjidakis Lyrics: Βrian Corrigan Laughing together as the day is passing Merry like a party laughing, sidewalks overflow Over the crowded streets the people dancing Singing as they go Dance through the shops on the streets of all the parties crazy Whirling like a spinning daydream, spinning you away Over the crowded streets The music is soaring While the people play. Main Musical Theme Laughing together as the day is passing Merry like a party laughing, sidewalks overflow Over the crowded streets the people dancing Singing as they go

9. Bitter Way Music: Manos Hadjidakis Lyrics: Βrian Corrigan Walk me to a window And I’ll show you what I hear Hold me in thimble And you’ll hold me very near I’ve been up and down Experience is something That you can buy Cause the arms that held you yesterday Where telling you a lie Maybe I’m a dancer Out I wish I could stop For you, dear Interlude Dear, I’m a dancer And I think I should dance For you, now

10. Noble Dame Music: Manos Hadjidakis Lyrics: Dorian Rudnytsky She was a lady once of noble name, Noble Dame She has a silver ring from her king Give her a nickel, take her out to dine, give her wine Comfort her if she sighs and then cries Look for her by the fountain on the road, say hello Don’t be afraid to smile and then go And if you see her talking to herself all alone Leave her alone, her heart is at home Interlude She was a lady once without a care, golden hair She was the only friend of the king Maybe she’ll come and ask you for your name, Noble Dame We’ll give our love to her on her way Look for her by the fountain on the road, say hello Don’t be afraid to smile and then go And if you see her talking to herself all alone Leave her alone, her heart is at home
