ALA-LC (American Library Association - Library of Congress) is a set of standards for romanization, or the representation of text in other writing systems using the Latin script.
This system is used to represent bibliographic information by North American libraries and the British Library (for acquisitions since 1975), and in publications throughout the English-speaking world.
The Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules require that catalogers Romanize access points from their non-Roman originals. However, as the MARC have been expanded to allow catalog records containing Unicode characters, many catalogers now include bibliographic data in both Roman and original scripts. The emerging Resource Description and Access continues many of AACR's Romanization recommendations, but refers to the process as "transliteration" rather than "Romanization."
The ALA-LC Romanization includes over 70 Romanization tables. Some notable tables include:
Oh, if I have a moment, I'd capture that moment
You would be right here next to me
If I had the secret, the secret to your love
I would place the treasure beneath my heart
Lock it all up and throw away the key
I would never give it up
'Cause I was just a fool, a fool for you
When I love you so childishly
And I want it all back
I want it all, I want it all, girl, I want it all back
I want it all back
I want it all, I want it all, said, I want it all back
You never miss a good thing 'til it's gone
I want it all, now I want it all back
If there is a green light and it's supposed to turn yellow
Better to the flow, 'cause I know your heart is turning gray
If I had the minutes, I would turn 'em into hours
And make love to your money, not your body instead
I was just a fool, a fool for you
That didn't know what I had until I lost you
Every single moment you turn up here
Instead of dead to me, that everything seemed so clear
And I want it all back
(I gotta have it all)
I want it all, I want it all, said, I want it all back
I want it all back
I want it all, I want it all, said, I want it all
You never miss a good thing 'til it's gone
I want it all, now I want it all back
Now anything isn't everything
If everything, everything isn't with you
Now I want it all back
I want it all, I want it all, girl, I want it all back
I want it all back
I want it all, I want it all, girl, I want it all back
You never miss a good thing 'til it's gone
Want it all, now I want it all back
Now I want it all back, now I want it all back
