Blips of the Heart

Happy New Year to all. For our end of year post:



Everybody wonders what anaesthetists do while the patient is asleep
Everybody wonders what we do for three hours while that machine goes beep

Everybody reckons we drink coffee and we gossip and we're generally subversive
Everybody reckons we do crosswords and sudoku and we chat up all the nurses

Do you really think that's all we do?
Well, let me tell you now it isn't true
Cause we sometimes check the screen
And every now and then we write stuff
And if we have to intervene
We inject a bit of white stuff

And we offer to alter the lights
Or the height of the bed
Or fiddle with the radio, change the CD
We even check the patient occasionally

And if they move, we turn up the vapour
And then we go back to reading the paper

When the patient is asleep
We just sit and listen to the beep
We just sit and listen to the ...

Once upon a time I took pride in my job
Now I think its time to depart
Cause I just sit here every day and listen to blips of the heart

L'Amore Sei Tu

Se io restassi qui
Non sarei come tu mi vuoi.
Me ne andrò
ma già lo so
Sempre tu sarai in me.
Ormai l’amore sei tu,
L’amore sei tu,
E sempre tu.
Sempre avrò nostalgia
Delle notti e giorni con te
La vita mia porto via,
Sai che è meglio così.
Ormai l’amore sei tu
E sempre sei tu.

Spero che tu troverai
Quello che hai sognato per te.
La felicità tua
sarà la mia
E lontano da me ancora amerai.
Ma ormai l’amore sei tu,
E sempre sei tu
Ormai l’amore sei tu
L’amore sei tu
L’amore sei tu
E sempre tu
sei tu, tu
L’amore sei tu.

Mesiku na nebi hlubokem
Svetlo tvé daleko vidi,
Po svete bloudis sirokém,
Divas se v pribytky lidi.

Mesicku, postuj chvili
Reckni mi, kde je muj mily
Rekni mu, stribmy mesicku,
Me ze jej objima rame,
Aby si alespon chvilicku
Vzpomenul ve sneni na mne
Zasvet mu do daleka
Rekni mu, rekni m kdo tu nan ceka!
mneli duse lidska sni

At'se tou vzpominkou vzbudi!
Mesicku, nezhasni, nezhasni!

O Mio Babbino Caro

O mio babbino caro,
mi piace è bello, bello;
vo'andare in Porta Rossa
a comperar l'anello!
Sì, sì, ci voglio andare!
e se l'amassi indarno,
andrei sul Ponte Vecchio,
ma per buttarmi in Arno!
Mi struggo e mi tormento!
O Dio, vorrei morir!

Babbo, pietà, pietà!
Babbo, pietà, pietà!
