WELCOME TO MY HAUS

You are invited
And once you're in you won't stop

We party all night
Everyone's in

Not any place
Dance your worries away
Welcome to my haus
Welcome to the haus of J
House, My House, Your House, Our House

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
