Alpo may refer to:
Villafranca di Verona is a town and comune in the province of Verona in the Veneto, Northern Italy.
The position on the ancient via Postumia and the perpendicular intersection structure of its roads suggests that the city had Roman origins.
In the Middle Ages, in occasion of the foundation of the Rectors' Council of Verona, on March 9, 1185, it received the privilege of a tax free town, from which derived the name of villa franca.
In the history it is remembered because of the "Treaty of Villafranca", which concluded the Second Italian Independence War, and the battle of 24 June 1866, during the Third War of Italian Independence.
Alpo is an American brand of dog food marketed and manufactured by the Nestlé Purina PetCare subsidiary of Nestlé. The brand is offered as a canned or packaged soft food, as well as in dry kibbles.
Alpo, an abbreviation of Allen Products, was founded in 1936 by Robert F. Hunsicker in Allentown, Pennsylvania. In 1964, the Allen Products Company was acquired by Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company. In 1980, the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company was acquired by Grand Metropolitan and in 1986 Grand Metropolitan sold the Liggett Group but kept Alpo Petfoods, Inc. In 1995, Nestlé SA acquired Alpo Petfoods, Inc. from Grand Metropolitan. In January 2001, Nestlé SA announced the merger of Nestlé Friskies with Ralston Purina to form the Nestlé Purina PetCare Company.
For many years, the brand's main television commercial spokesman was Lorne Greene, who created the concept of eating one's own dog food by claiming that Alpo is so good he feeds it to his own dogs. Ed McMahon also had a long association with the product on television, and Garfield was a "spokescat" for the brand in the 1990s. Alpo was the sponsor of the debut broadcast of the long-running television news magazine 60 Minutes, on September 24, 1968.
Give a little hope to our love
I wish, I wish
Rain could wash your tears away
Give a little time
and give a little hope to our love
Seit Tagen ist mein Leben
Für mich ohne Sinn
Beweg' mich nur im Kreis statt zu dir hin
Weil ich weiß
Wie enttäuscht du von mir bist
Und ehrlich: Wie hab' ich dich vermisst
Du sprichst kein Wort
Kein Ort, der nicht nach dir schmeckt
Und weckt ein Gefühl, das in mir steckt
Dich zurückgewinnen - neue Pläne spinnen
lass uns doch noch mal von vorn beginnen
Love is like a smooth summer rain
I wish that you'll be back again
Holding back the good times
Forget about the past
Won't let you down
Sag nicht was du willst
Sag mir, was ich hören will | Won't let you go -
Sag mir, dass ich ein Teil
Aus deinem Leben bin | Won't let you cry!
Dass ich dir fehle - dein Gewissen quäle
Bereit' dem ein Ende - bereit' dem ein Ende
I wish, I wish
I could take your fears away
Love and hate
Is tearing us apart
Komm' zurück zu mir
I wish, I wish
Rain could wash your tears away
Give a little time
And give a little hope to our love
Ich geb' dir all die Zeit und dauert es ein Jahr
Ich will nie wieder gehen, ich bin für dich da
Und immer schon gewesen
Nur konnt' ich's nie zeigen
Nun lass mich nicht auf ewig leiden
Ein kleines Abenteuer
Ist ein Feuer, was schnell verglüht
Wer einmal lügt, sich selbst betrügt
Ich will's nie wieder wissen
Hab' dein Herz zerrissen
Will zurück zu dir, dich nie mehr missen
Love is like a smooth summer rain
I wish that you'll be back again
Holding back the good times
Forget about the past
Won't let you down
Sag nicht was du willst
Sag mir, was ich hören will | Won't let you go -
Sag mir, dass ich ein Teil
Aus deinem Leben bin | Won't let you cry!
Dass ich dir fehle - dein Gewissen quäle
Bereit' dem ein Ende - bereit' dem ein Ende
I wish, I wish
I could take your fears away
Love and hate
Is tearing us apart
Komm' zurück zu mir
I wish, I wish
Ich wünsch es mir so sehr
Rain could wash your tears away
Give a little time
And give a little hope to our love
Es tut so weh
I wish, I wish
I could take your fears away
Love and hate
Is tearing us apart
Komm' zurück zu mir
I wish, I wish
Rain could wash your tears away
Give a little time
And give a little hope to our love
Für unsere Liebe
