WELCOME TO MY HAUS

(J. Alkalay)

 

This is my time

This is my place

This is my moment

This is my day

 

We party all day

We party all night

Everyone's in

For a good time

This is my house

Not any place

Leave your worries outside

 

Welcome to my haus

Welcome to the haus of J

 

House, My House, Your House, Our House

House, Your House, My House, J's Haus

 

I wanna dance

'Till the sun comes up

You are invited

And once you're in you won't stop

 

We party all day

We party all night

Everyone's in

For a good time

This is my house

Not any place

Dance your worries away

Welcome to my haus

Welcome to the haus of J

 

House, My House, Your House, Our House

House, Your House, My House, J's Haus 

PUTTING MYSELF FIRST

(J. Alkalay)

 

I've been working 9 to 5

I don’t want this for my life

How I want my life to be

This is not really for me

 

I'm not sure how this is gonna go

I'm not gonna put up with the status quo

I've been struggling to pay my bills

I wanna be rich and find out how it feels

 

So I’ve decided to change my life

And do what I’ve been always told

But never tried

I’m going to live my dreams

And leave absolutely all behind

 

I am putting myself first

I’m going to be whatever I want

After all they say it is best

To regret something that you have done

Than to regret for not having tried at all

So this time I’m not sorry

For putting myself first

 

I decided not to expect anymore

For the chance to come knock on my door

I am already running against time

My youth already leaving me behind

And I refuse to be a slave from work

When all this music is kept inside my soul

I need I must I have to put it out

Before my mind and body are too old

 

So I’ve decided to change my life

And do what I’ve been always told 

But never tried

I’m going to live my dreams 

And leave absolutely all behind

 

I am putting myself first

I’m going to be whatever I want

After all they say it is best

To regret something that you have done

Than to regret for not having tried at all

So this time I’m not sorry 

For putting myself first

HARDLY EVER RAINS

(J. Alkalay)

 

I hear thunder

I hear the wind

I hear the music that comes from within

The sun is burning outside

100 degrees Fahrenheit

 

It's been so many days with no rain

And I've been waiting to see you again

But you won't come out in sunny days

Your skin is sensitive to the rays

 

And I love to be out in the heat

My skin loves to feel hot, summer’s sweet

So we are like water and wine

But I can't take you out of my mind

 

And now I pray for rain every day

Hoping that I can see you again

But hardly ever rains

And hardly ever rains

 

Now I find myself everyday

Waking up with the vision of your face

And I run outside to see

What the weather is gonna be

 

But there hasn't been clouds for days

The sky is beautiful, clear and I pray

For all the water on earth to evaporate

So heaven bring us some rain

 

Even though I love to be out in the heat

When my skin feels hot, summer’s sweet

Even though we are like water and wine

I can't take you out of my mind

And now I pray for rain every day

Hoping that I can see you again

 

But hardly ever rains

And hardly ever rains

 

It’s been so many months since

I’ve last seen your smile

It a was a rare cold summer night

 

I would love take you for a ride

And feel the gentle breeze outside

But you only love the cold

And here is summer all year long

 

And hardly ever rains

(And I want to see you again)

And hardly ever rains

(I've been dying to see you again)

STRONG

(J. Alkalay)

 

What about the love we promised to each other

You threw it away

What about the dreams we built

That were supposed to last forever

You destroyed them in a day

 

We believed that everything

Would be all right

I believed you'd be kind

And we waited for each other

Believing our love was to last

For all our lives

 

But things went wrong

I didn’t know if I could make it on my own

But one thing I know

Is that life is always making us strong

 

It’s okay because I found a better person

You are history

A part of my past that

I won’t ever care to remember

I erased my memory

 

We believed that everything

Would be all right

I believed you'd be kind

And we waited for each other

Believing our love was to last

For all our lives

 

But things went wrong

I didn’t know if I could make it on my own

But one thing I know

Is that life is always making us strong

 

But things went wrong

And sometimes I have the feeling

That you’ll always be alone

But there is one thing you’ll learn

Life is always making us strong

YOU ARE MINE

(Roberto Piacentini Filho / J. Alkalay)

 

Once I thought I could live without you

Once I thought I could never love anyone

 

I guess I was wrong

I faked I was not alone

 

You came to fill the gap

You and only you

I will always love

You're perfect, you're beautiful, I love you

 

You are mine, only mine and always mine

 

Now I am far, alone, almost sad

But then I think about you

You make me blue, you bring me home

You make me mad, you make me happy

You make who I am

 

You came to fill the gap

You and only you

I will always love

You're perfect, you're beautiful, I love you

 

You are mine, only mine, and always mine

 

Our love will always grow

Like the roses in our front porch

Will always grow

GIVE ME ONE DANCE

(J. Alkalay)

 

Why don’t you take some time out

And try to relax

Give it a try just feel free

To start your own dance

 

Life is simple don’t waste your time

Thinking ‘bout crap

Join me tonight hold it tight

Feel the music and dance

 

Give me one chance

Give me one dance

Dance with me

 

You don’t have to be tall 

Short, blonde or brunette

Music is for everyone 

Rich or poor and the rest

 

All you need is to let go

Of all your distress

Join me tonight hold it tight

Feel the music and dance

 

Give me one chance

Give me one dance

Dance with me

TWIN SOULS

(J. Alkalay)

 

Something happened in my life

And I don’t know what it is

I thought I was in paradise

But look the hell inside of me

 

It`s not allowed to find the truth

‘Bout who you love

And I found my twin soul

But I can’t be with her, oh no 

 

What will the angels do to me

We discovered the meaning of love

And together we would be

Forever

 

She came in a dream

And now my head is spinning ‘round

She brought me to reality

And I can`t let myself feeling down

 

We were supposed to be apart

Since we were born

But fate is all I know

And he is playing with us girl

 

What will the angels do to me?

We discovered the meaning of love

And together we would be

Forever

 

But we cannot be lovers

Maybe a sin we have shared

In the past And now in this life

Just friends that will never be together

 

What will the angels do to me?

We discovered the meaning of love

And together we would be

Forever

 

But we cannot be lovers

Maybe a sin we have shared

In the past And now in this life

Just friends that will never be together

TIME OF OUR LIVES 

(J. Alkalay)

 

Time, most certainly is not on our side

I wish our clocks wouldn't have to be right

There’s so much pressure to get things done now

Our lives quickly staying behind

 

What would happen if we could reinvent time

Would we stretch the day or stretch the night

Look more to others than just to ourselves

Work less and enjoy more of our lives

 

We work almost ‘til we get old

And when time finally comes to enjoy

The results of so much work

Our minds will be exhausted and dry

 

God is too much to ask

To give me my youth back

All I need is extra time

To enjoy when the moment arrives

 

I can't think of long enough

How time is flying by

I would like to press rewind

Born old and then grow young

 

For when the time finally arrives

To enjoy what is left

I'd be strong, young,

Having the time of my life

 

I wish that everybody would have enough

As Some people struggle just to survive

While others have so much is absurd

To see human race ignoring the signs

 

Look at all waste men produces these days

When many don't have food on their plates

And the ones who have so much most of the time

Simply ignore the disgrace

 

The world becoming so polluted

That possibly the children of the future

Won't be able to cope with the heat

And lack of water they'll face

 

And I finally understand

Why God won't turn back the time

And let us have fun at the end

‘Cause that's not the lesson to learn

 

And I do now understand

The purpose of our lives

Which is to spread love

To all around us and ignite

Respect for what we have

And let our true nature come to light

 

If men don't realize

The sole purpose of their lives

To help who's on their side

And leave all riches behind

After all when we are done

We won't be carrying to the other side

 

And I finally understand

Why God won't turn back the time

And let us have fun at the end

‘Cause that's not the lesson to learn

 

As it happens with our lives

It ends when it should start

In reality is a stage to reach a higher realm

 

So keep in mind what really counts

Which is to spread love around

And then when you reach the end

That's when your real life will start

ENJOY THE MOMENT

(J. Alkalay / Brienda Bueno)

 

How would you feel if someone

Put their hands all over your body

Would you laugh and feel naughty

Letting your mind enjoy the moment

 

It's not easy to find real love

 

Enjoy your life, enjoy the moment

Don't look behind

 

Never feel down, you don't deserve to

Happiness comes anytime

 

Let it go, let the past behind

Letting your mind in a state of trance

 

Sometimes you can't resist the temptation

Of a one night stand

So don't resist and don't regret

 

It's not easy to find real love

 

Enjoy your life, enjoy the moment

Don't look behind

Don't fall apart, just get it over 

Just get it done

 

Enjoy your life, enjoy the moment

Don't look behind

Just get it done, live to the fullest
Don't close your heart

 

It's not easy to find real love

But don't close your mind

D0on't close your heart

 

It's not easy to be loved

And to feel loved

But don't give up, don't close your heart

 

Enjoy your life, enjoy the moment

Don't close your heart

SADNESS

(J. Alkalay)

 

I`ll pretend that I`m happy

But inside I feel so sad

I`ll try to forget the past

That always made me glad

 

Is this one thing that is breaking my heart

I never planned to be so distant so far

But sometimes life and fate decides

What is the best

 

And I have to go on pretending

That I`ll forget the rest

Even though I know is breaking my heart

I didn`t know missing someone

Could hurt so much

Would be so hard

 

Even if I wanted now I couldn`t go back

Now my life will be apart

From the ones I always cared

 

Loneliness, emptiness is all I can feel

All this sadness is real, is real

 

Sometimes I dream at night

That I`m back there

All friends that now are gone

They were making me happy

 

Somehow I always knew

That it was meant to be

I`m feeling now alone

I cry sometimes when no one sees

 

I just wanted for a moment

To be a child again

So I`d cry on my mom`s shoulders

But I grew up and I`m not there

 

Even if I wanted now I couldn`t go back'

Now my life will be apart

From the ones I always cared

Loneliness, emptiness is all I can feel

All this sadness is real

MORE TO LOVE

(J. Alkalay)

 

Is hard to be alone in this world

Without someone

To love, to belong

No one to run to

When the day is done

 

You fill your days

With work and then you’re home

An empty space

Filled with pictures of no one

The tv is on

And your dog lays on the floor

 

There’s more to love

There’s more to love

You won’t find out

Locked inside your little world

There’s more to love

More to love

 

You blame the world

For all of your mistakes

Everyone twists

Every word you say

You' re always right

Better alone and safe

 

You don't regret

Any step you take

You calculate every minute of the day

Misfortunes are for those who never pray

 

There’s more to love

There’s more to love

You won’t find out

Locked inside your little world

There’s more to love

More to love

 

You fulfill all your expectations

After all is better not to expect from anyone

Dealing with those feelings are so tough

Is better not to crave what you’ve never learned To Love

 

There’s more to love

There’s more to love

You won’t find out

Locked inside your little world

There’s more to love

More to love

GPS

(J. Alkalay / Brienda Bueno)

 

If you get lost

Don't feel alone

We are here to party all night long

 

If you miss a turn

Don't be upset

The GPS will show you the recalculating gap

 

Recalculating, Recalculating Route (4x)

 

If you miss a turn

Don't be upset

I'm gonna show you the recalculating gap

If you miss a turn go straight ahead

Don't be frustrated 'cause you have me, your GPS

 

Recalculating, Recalculating Route (4x)

 

If you miss a turn

Go straight ahead

If you miss a turn

Never look back
