Jack's lament instrumental (orchestra-only version)

I was looking for this almost two years, and I finaly found it! So I sharing this with the world. If there will be requests for other songs, I'll try to put them.
Nightmare before Christmas - Jack's lament (instrumental)
Music by Danny Elfman

[@celestialisa7422]

There are few who'd deny, at what I do I am the best For my talents are renowned far and wide When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night I excel without ever even trying With the slightest little effort of my ghostlike charms I have seen grown men give out a shriek With the wave of my hand, and a well-placed moan I have swept the very bravest off their feet Yet year after year, it's the same routine And I grow so weary of the sound of screams And I, Jack, the Pumpkin King (SHOUT!) Have grown so tired of the same old thing Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones An emptiness began to grow There's something out there, far from my home A longing that I've never known I'm a master of fright, and a demon of light And I'll scare you right out of your pants To a guy in Kentucky, I'm Mister Unlucky And I'm known throughout England and France And since I am dead, I can take off my head To recite Shakespearean quotations No animal nor man can scream like I can With the fury of my recitations But who here would ever understand That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin Would tire of his crown, if they only understood He'd give it all up if he only could Oh, there's an empty place in my bones That calls out for something unknown The fame and praise come year after year Does nothing for these empty tears

[@wonderfulwookiee6443]

Joigirl I seriously know the words to this song like the back of my hand!! pale, kinda clamy. what? oh, I was talking about my hand!

[@atomic_salt]

Love the waltz part, and I especially enjoy the saxophone solo after the waltz.

This is one of my all time favorite pieces of music.

[@madisoncastle5138]

[@lenee8959]

Ikr! It’s one of the most beautiful songs in the movie in my opinion.

[@theabacross1581]

[@desmonetizacao7687]

very good

[@madisoncastle5138]

Thank you!

[@MrKlausbaudelaire]

hmm, really good, most orchestral versions have a faint remaining of the voices singing, like a really faint echo. Yours is completly instrumental, perfect =)

[@shealenebresnahan9509]

I HATE when they echo. I honestly thought it would be hard to find this as an instrumental. Looks like I got lucky!

Nadie puede negar Qué soy un tipo singular Un talento por demás sin igual Si se trata de sustos En la oscuridad Nadie hay que me pueda derrotar Basta una pequeña dosis de mi encantó fantasmal Y hasta al más valiente hago correr Con tan solo mover, una mano esqueletal He espantado a mil guerreros a la vez Más año tras año todo sigue igual Y yo ya estoy cansado de tanto espantar Y yo Jack, el rey de aquí Ya me canse de vivir así Dentro de mi huesudo interior Vacío estoy, vacío voy Y debe haber alguna razón Yo debo hallar la solución Soy un profesional del espanto infernal Y ni un ser hay que aguante mi faz No hay en todo el planeta quien conmigo se meta Mi leyenda no morirá jamás Y siendo yo muerto mi cabeza desprendo Y recito a Shakespeare en versos Ni hombre ni animal me puede imitar Con la furia de mis gritos y mis gestos Más quien iba Jamás a comprender Qué este pobre rey Quien dictó la ley Se cansó de reinar Si pudieran entender Podría renunciar Si pudiera ser Hay un vacío aquí en mi interior En busca de un qué sé yo Poder y honor no quiero ya más Con eso no se apaga el dolor

There’s quite a few who'd deny, that what I do is the best For my talents are criti-cized far and wide When it comes down to my jokes, I never really choke I excel without ever even trying With the slightest little effort of my out-cast-ish charms I have seen religious men give out a shriek With a wave of my shank, and a well-placed prank I have swept the very dullest off their feet Yet year after year, it's the same routine And I’ve grown so sick of Lehigh valley’s dreams And I, Andrew, the jolly jester Have realized the valley will never get better Oh, somewhere deep inside of my jokes An emptiness begins to grow There's something out there, far from my home A longing that I've suddenly known I'm a master of the Laughs and I make fun of Lehigh’s past And I'll humor you till you give me a chance To a guy in Macungie, I'm Mister Unlucky And I'm known throughout KZbin and Facebook And since I am alone, I can be all on my own To recite DC Comic-Book quo-tations No animal nor man can laugh like I can With the fury of my reeeee-citations But who--here---would ever understand That an outcast man---with an out-land plan Would stop being mad--- if they only understood i'd give it all up if i only could Oh, there's an empty place in these jokes That calls out for something unknown The hate and praise comes year after year Does nothing for these empty tears

[@SurroundProductions]

We really need the demo instrumental as well as in movie instrumental. The In Movie version begins with a different but similar tune. Like this one too!!

[@huston77__82]

Ils me trouvent génial, mes mauvais tours les émerveillent Tous les ans, c'est le triomphe et la gloire! Je leur fais des surprises quand la lune s'éveille Et ils crient avant de m'apercevoir! Sans le moindre effort, je m'amuse à jouer au fantôme Et presque aussitôt, c'est la panique! Un seul geste banal, si l'on sait faire "Bouh!" Fait fuir sur-le-champ l'armée la plus stoïque! Mais jour après jour, c'est la même déprime... Je n'éprouve plus rien en commettant mes crimes! Et moi... Jack, l'épouvantail J'avoue me lasser de la même bataille... Dans mon vieux corps, il règne aujourd'hui Une bien étrange mélancolie Pour moi, la vie n'est qu'un long sanglot Mon coeur éclate, la mort est mon lot... Je suis l'esprit du mal, le génie infernal! Les revenants ne vont pas en revenir... Je suis marié à la peur, l'horreur et la terreur Pour le meilleur et surtout le pire! Et comme je suis mort, je me sers de mon crâne Pour réciter "Être ou ne pas être"! Lorsque l'envie m'en prend, mes cris fracassants Résonnent à plus de cent vingt kilomètres Un jour... oui... pourrai-je me faire entendre Moi l'épouvantail qu'on dit privé d'entrailles? Je n'veux plus de ma couronne! Comment pourraient-ils comprendre? S'ils savaient seulement comme j'aimerais la rendre! Je traîne sans but mes vieux os fourbus Je me languis de l'inconnu... Pouvoir et gloire sont bien dérisoires Face au néant de mon désespoir!

[@keithskerns]

The music to this song is gorgeous!! Thanks for uploading :)

Nadie puede negar, que soy un tipo singular Con un talento, por demás, sin igual. Si se trata de sustos en la oscuridad Nadie hay que me pueda derrotar. Basta una pequeña dosis de mi encanto fantasmal Y hasta al más valiente hago correr. Con tan sólo mover una mano esqueletal He espantado a mil guerreros a la vez. Más año tras año todo sigue igual Y ya estoy cansado de tanto espantar. Y yo, Jack, el rey de aquí. Ya me cansé de vivir así. Dentro de mi huesudo interior Vacío estoy, vacío voy. Y debe haber alguna razón Yo debo hallar la solución.... Soy un profesional del espanto infernal Y ni un ser hay que aguante mi faz. No hay en todo el planeta quien conmigo se meta Mi leyenda no morirá jamás. Y siendo yo muerto mi cabeza desprendo Y recito a Shakespeare en versos. Ni hombre ni animal, me puede imitar Con la furia de mis gritos y mis gestos. Más quien va, jamás a comprender Que este pobre rey, quien dictó la ley Se cansó de reinar, si pudieran entender Podría renunciar, si pudiera ser. Hay un vacío aquí en mi interior En busca de un que se yo. Poder y honor, no quiero ya más Con eso, no se apaga el dolor

[@hannahbyrams5226]

I love this music so much!

[@RogueSamaelZX]

*French lyrics, translated by me* They though i'm a genius, My tricks amazes them every years, it's triumph and glory. I surprise them, when the moon rise up, and they scream before sawing me. Without any sweat, I enjoy playing the ghost, and they panic every time. Just an usual move, just do a "boo" And the toughest army will run away. But, day after day, it's the same feeling there's not enjoying when I do my crimes. And I, Jack, the Scarecrow (Pumpkin king) I admit, I'm tired of all of this In my old corpse, I can feel a strange melancholy For me, life is just a too long sob. My heart hurting me, the death is my prize. I'm the spirit of evil, the mad genius, the dead will not believe their eyes !! (the joke only work in french) I'm married to fear, horror and terror, for the best and mostly the worst. And cause i'm dead, I can use my head to recite : "be or not to be". When I want to, I use my dreadful screech. whose the echo can be hear far away. But one day, maybe, my word will be heard, I, the scarecrow, who don't have any guts, I don't want my crown anymore. How could they understood ? If only they know, that I want to return it. I wander alone, with my old bones. I yearn for the unknow. Power, Glory, seems pathetic next to the emptiness of my despair (It's possible that I made some mistakes, cause i'm french)

Lol! This does have the best soundtrack. Some people really need to learn to take a joke, sheesh I’m a girl too lol.

[@8is]

Frozen has a really good soundtrack. What’s unique about it is that it has like 57 officially translated languages which makes it have a lot more good songs than you think. The Nightmare Before Christmas has this but not 57 different versions, you won’t find an official Swedish version for an example. What’s funny is that English isn’t even that good for Frozen. Depends on the song of course. Idina is like my 30th favorite actress among them all actually, that’s not great. If anyone is interested I could recommend some songs that are good in specific language versions.

Sou o rei das surpresas Na escuridão, faço tudo com muita maestria Basta só um simples gesto com a minha mão e o medo surge no olhar Sei fazer um adulto sentir terror, feito uma criancinha a chorar Mas ano após ano é tudo igual, já não aguento esse festival E eu jack, o rei do horror, quero algo mais, algo superior Eu sinto que bem dentro de mim, há uma dor que não tem fim Lá fora bem longe do meu lar, meu coração quer me levar Sou o rei do horror, e o Ás do terror E você logo vai se assustar Eu vou na lua cheia, a noite inteira como um bicho que ninguém pode ver Caso não me conheça, eu tiro a cabeça, e mostro todo meu talento Não há um animal tão irracional, com um grito tão feroz e violento Mas quem poderia imaginar, que o rei do horror, o esqueleto sem cor Não é mais feliz no seu reino de terror, e a sua coroa quer entregar! A escuridão me invade assim, como uma dor que não tem fim Eu sou um rei, com fama e poder Que só queria não mais sofre
