Daydreams

The other day I listened to this song and floated on the air with its tune:



Its smooth tune eventually led me to this other song



and this last one in turn led me to another ...



and another, all the way back to the 60s.



The evolution and sampling of a catchy tune.

LES UNS ET LES AUTRES


LES UNS ET LES AUTRES

Music by Francis Lai. Lyrics by Pierre Barouh
Rhytmique: Christian Gaubert. Orchestration: Michel Legrand. Sung by Nicole Croisille

Les uns et les autres
Les uns et les autres
Si chacun est l'autre pour l'un
Rarement il est l'un pour l'autre
Malgré tous les discours
Les appels au secours des autres, des autres.

Sur terre, ils se vautrant, les uns sans les autres
Si tous les hommes sont égaux, certains sont plus égaux que d'autres
écrivait George Orwell, c'est vrai pour il ou elle ou l'autre, ou l'autre
Par hasard un jour nouse sortions d'une gare
On s'est vu dans la glace d'un café du boulevard
Tous les deux dans la foule parmi les autres.

(refrain)
Les uns et les autres ...

Ce matin ou jet guette avec d'autres le train pour jouer
Je me suis dit, je vais deviner parmi ceux qui attendent qui sera l'autre.

(refrain)
Les uns et les autres ...

Die toten hosen - Zehn Kleiner Jaegermeister.



Die toten hosen - Zehn Kleiner Jaegermeister.

Ein kleiner Jägermeister war nicht gern allein,
drum lud er Sich zum Weinachstfest neun Jägermeister ein...

Zehn kleine Jägermeister rauchten einen Joint,
den einen hat es umgehaun, da waren's nur noch neun.

Neun kleine Jägermeister wollten gerne erben,
damit es was zu erben gab, musste einer sterben.

Acht kleine Jägermeister fuhren gerne schnell,
sieben fuhrn nach Düsseldorf, einer fuhr nach Köln.

Einer für alle, alle für einen,
wenn einer fort ist, wer wird denn gleich weinen?
Einmal trifft's jeden, ärger dich nicht,
so geht's im Leben, du oder ich.

Sieben kleine Jägermeister warn beim Rendezvous,
bei einem kam ganz unverhofft der Ehemann hinzu.

Sechs kleine Jägermeister wollten Steuern sparen,
einer wurde eingelocht, fünf durften nachbezahlen.

Fünf kleine Jägermeister wurden kontrolliert,
ein Polizist nahm's zu genau, da warn sie noch zu viert.

Einer für alle, alle für einen,
wenn einer fort ist, wer wird denn gleich weinen?
Einmal trifft's jeden, ärger dich nicht,
so geht's im Leben, du oder ich.

Einmal muss jeder gehen
und wenn dein Herz zerbricht,
davon wird die Welt nicht untergehn -
Mensch ärger dich nicht!

Vier kleine Jägermeister bei der Bundeswehr,
sie tranken um die Wette, den Besten gibt's nicht mehr.

Drei kleine Jägermeister gingen ins Lokal,
dort gab's zwei Steaks mit Bohnen und eins mit Rinderwahn.

Zwei kleine Jägermeister baten um Asyl,
einer wurde angenommen, der andere war zu viel.

Einer für alle, alle für einen,
wenn einer fort ist, wer wird denn gleich weinen?
Einmal trifft's jeden, ärger dich nicht,
so geht's im Leben, du oder ich.

Einmal muss jeder gehen
und wenn dein Herz zerbricht,
davon wird die Welt nicht untergehn -
Mensch ärger dich nicht!
Ja, davon wird die Welt nicht untergehn -
Mensch ärger dich nicht!

-----

A little hunter didn't like to be alone,
So he invited nine others to his Christmas party.

Ten little hunters were smoking a joint,
One overdose, and only nine were left.

Nine little hunters wanted to inherit something,
One had to die so that they could do so.

Eight little hunters like to drive fast,
Seven drove to Orlando, one drove to Los Angeles. (not the actual towns, but a comparison of "on the other side of the country :P)

One for all, and all for one,
When one dies, who will mourn him?
It will happen to everyone, don't worry,
It's the way of life, you or me.

Seven little hunters went to blind dates
One of them unfortunately met the husband.

Six little hunters wanted to avoid taxes,
One got locked up, five paid extra.

Five little hunters were searched,
One policeman was too anal, and now there's only four.

One for all, and all for one,
When one dies, who will mourn him?
It will happen to everyone, don't worry,
It's the way of life, you or me.

Everyone will die sometime
And when when your heart breaks,
the world won't die
Man, don't worry!

Four little hunters were in the army,
They had a drinking contest, the winner is no more.

Three little hunters went to the pub,
There was two steaks with beans, and one with mad cow disease.

Two little hunters asked for asylum,
One was accepted, the other was too many.

One for all, and all for one,
When one dies, who will mourn him?
It will happen to everyone, don't worry,
It's the way of life, you or me.

Everyone will die sometime
And when when your heart breaks,
the world won't die
Man, don't worry!
Yeah, the world won't die
Man, don't worry!

A man with a birthday... Leonard Cohen

Happy birthday Leonard Cohen! Three years ago you turned 70 and the novelty of a new decade is fading away. But maybe it feels more like the revolution of being 23 than the slowing down of 33. One way or another we managed to celebrate it in Edmonton... one way or another.

The whole damn place goes crazy twice
and it's once for the devil and once for Christ
but the Boss don't like these dizzy heights
we're busted in the blinding lights,
busted in the blinding lights
of CLOSING TIME



"Ay, ay, ay, ay! Take this close-mouthed waltz..." wrote Federico García Lorca, and for your hero you wrote a waltz for his words, that you made yours, very yours. Not many birthdays I have been where the celebrated one gives the presents to the guests.

Perhaps that is the secret to have the guests back every year =)

Yeah I missed you since the place got wrecked
By the winds of change and the weeds of sex
looks like freedom but it feels like death
it's something in between, I guess
it's CLOSING TIME

Crazy

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place.
Even your emotions have an echo
In so much space

And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Possibly



And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice

Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,

Ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think you're in control

Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I wanna be like them
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done

But Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably

Uh, uh

Miłość od pierwszego wejrzenia
Szymborska Wisława

Oboje są przekonani,
że połączyło ich uczucie nagłe.

Piękna jest taka pewność,
ale niepewność jest piękniejsza.

Sądzą, że skoro nie
znali się
wcześniej,
nic miedy nimi nigdy się nie działo.

A co na to ulice, schody, korytarze,

na których mogli się od dawna mijać?

Chciałabym ich zapytać,
czy nie
pamietają -
może w drzwiach obrotowych

kiedyś twarzą w twarz?
jakieś ,,przepraszam\'\' w ścisku?
głos ,,pomyłka\'\' w słuchawce?

- ale znam ich odpowiedź.

Nie, nie pamietają.

Bardzo by ich zdziwiło,
że od
dłuższego już czasu
bawił się nimi przypadek.

Jeszcze nie całkiem gotów
zamienić się
dla nich w los,
zbliżał ich i oddalał,
zabiegał im droge
i tłumiąc
chichot
odskakiwał w bok.

Były znaki, sygnały,
cóż z tego, że
nieczytelne.

Może trzy lata temu
albo w zeszły wtorek
pewien
listek przefrunął
z ramienia na ramię?
Było coś zgubionego i podniesionego.

Kto wie, czy już nie piłka
w zaroślach dzieciństwa?
Były klamki i dzwonki,
na których
zawczasu
dotyk kladł się na dotyk.

Walizki obok siebie w przechowalni.
Był może pewnej nocy jednakowy sen,
natychmiast po zbudzeniu zamazany.

Każdy przecież początek
to tylko ciąg
dalszy,
a księga zdarzeń
zawsze otwarta w połowie.

AMOR A PRIMERA
VISTA

Ambos están convencidos
de que los ha unido un sentimiento repentino.
Es hermosa esa seguridad,
pero la inseguridad es más hermosa.

Imaginan que como antes no se conocían
no había sucedido nada entre ellos.
Pero ¿qué decir de las calles, las escaleras, los pasillos
en los que hace tiempo podrían haberse cruzado?

Me gustaría preguntarles
si no recuerdan
-quizá un encuentro frente a frente
alguna vez en una puerta giratoria,
o algún "lo siento"
o el sonido de "se ha equivocado" en el teléfono-,
pero conozco su respuesta.
No recuerdan.

Se sorprenderían
de saber que ya hace mucho tiempo
que la casualidad juega con ellos,

una casualidad no del todo preparada
para convertirse en su destino,

que los acercaba y alejaba,
que se interponía en su camino
y que conteniendo la risa
se apartaba a un lado.

Hubo signos, señales,
pero qué hacer si no eran comprensibles.
¿No habrá revoloteado
una hoja de un hombro a otro
hace tres años
o incluso el último martes?

Hubo algo perdido y encontrado.
Quién sabe si alguna pelota
en los matorrales de la infancia.

Hubo picaportes y timbres
en los que un tacto
se sobrepuso a otro tacto.
Maletas, una junto a otra, en una consigna.
Quizá una cierta noche el mismo sueño
desaparecido inmediatamente después de despertar.
Todo principio
no es mas que una continuación,
y el libro de los acontecimientos
se encuentra siempre abierto a la mitad.

De "Fin y principio" 1993 Versión de Abel A. Murcia

Love at First Sight

by Wislawa Szymborska

They both thought
that a sudden feeling had united them
This certainty is beautiful,
Even more beautiful than uncertainty.

They thought they didn't know each other,
nothing had ever happened between them,
These streets, these stairs, this corridors,
Where they could have met so long ago?

I would like to ask them,
if they can remember -
perhaps in a revolving door
face to face one day?
A "sorry" in the crowd?
"Wrong number" on the 'phone?
- but I know the answer.
No, they don't remember.

How surprised they would be
For such a long time already
Fate has been playing with them.

Not quite yet ready
to change into destiny,
which brings them nearer and yet further,
cutting their path
and stifling a laugh,
escaping ever further;
There were sings, indications,
undecipherable, what does in matter.
Three years ago, perhaps
or even last Tuesday,
this leaf flying
from one shoulder to another?
Something lost and gathered.
Who knows, perhaps a ball already
in the bushes, in childhood?

There were handles, door bells,
where, on the trace of a hand,
another hand was placed;
suitcases next to one another in the
left luggage.
And maybe one night the same dream
forgotten on walking;

But every beginning
is only a continuation
and the book of fate is
always open in the middle.

Translation from Polish by Roman Gren
Translation from French by Sarah Hardenberg

Heart of Glass - Blondie



"Heart Of Glass"

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good
You teasing like you do

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
We coulda made it cruising, yeah

Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

Feeling good - Nina Simone



Feeling good - Nina Simone

Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel

(refrain:)x2
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree you know how I feel

(refrain)

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
That's what I mean

And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel

(refrain)

How can I keep from singing?

How can I keep from singing? - Anne Warner (interprets Enya)

My life goes on in endless song
above earth's lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
that hails a new creation.


Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear it's music ringing,
It sounds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?


While though the tempest loudly roars,
I hear the truth, it liveth.
And though the darkness 'round me close,
songs in the night it giveth.


No storm can shake my inmost calm,
while to that rock I'm clinging.
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
how can I keep from singing?


When tyrants tremble in their fear
and hear their death knell ringing,
when friends rejoice both far and near
how can I keep from singing?


In prison cell and dungeon vile
our thoughts to them are winging,
when friends by shame are undefiled
how can I keep from singing?

You and I


Michael Buble - You And I

Lyrics Stevie Wonder


Here we are
On earth together
It's you and I
God has made us fall in love
It's true
I've really found
Someone like you
Will it stay
The love you feel for me
Will you say
That you will be by my side
To see me through
Until my life is through
Well in my mind
We can conquer the world
In love you and I
You and I, you and I...
I'm glad
At least in my life
I've found someone
That may not be here forever
To see me through
But I found strength in you
Cause in my mind
You will stay here always
In love you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I
In my mind
We can conquer the world
In love you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I...

El gato viudo - Chava Flores


Cuando la luna
Se pone re grandota
Como una pelotota
Y alumbra el callejón.
Se oye el maullido
Del triste gato viudo
Y su lomo peludo
Se eriza con horror.
Pero no falta
Quien mande un zapatazo
Que salga hecho balazo
A quitarle lo chillón.
Y en el alero
Del místico tejado
El gato se ha quejado
Cantando esta canción.
Para curar mi mal de amores
Dijeron los doitores
Que no había salvación,
Ahora me dicen gato viudo
Porque una gata pudo
Quitarme lo chiquión.
Antes sacaba del mandado
Me daba pa´mi helado
Mi cine y mi furbol,
´Ora con lo que me ha pasado
Me tiene más enfriado
Que un hielo de jaibol.
Con esta triste
Y maullida serenata
La noche es una lata
No duerme el más gallón.
Salió una vieja
Con cuetes, crema y bata
Y la pidió a la gata
Tuviera compasión
Pero la endina
Se hace la remolona
Pos dice la patrona
Que ya no dé jalón
Y el pobre gato
Está pagando el pato
Allá va otro zapato
Y allá va otra canción

BJORK and BILLY (and DOLORES)

BJORK and BILLY (and DOLORES)

"I've Seen It All"

I've seen it all, I have seen the trees,
I've seen the willow leaves dancing in the breeze
I've seen a man killed by his best friend,
And lives that were over before they were spent.
I've seen what I was - I know what I'll be
I've seen it all - there is no more to see!

-You haven't seen elephants, kings or Peru!
I'm happy to say I had better to do
-What about China? Have you seen the Great Wall?
All walls are great, if the roof doesn't fall!

-And the man you will marry?
-The home you will share?
To be honest, I really don't care...

-You've never been to Niagara Falls?
I have seen water, its water, that's all...
-The Eiffel Tower, the Empire State?
My pulse was as high on my very first date!
-Your grandson's hand as he plays with your hair?
To be honest, I really don't care...

I've seen it all, I've seen the dark
I've seen the brightness in one little spark.
I've seen what I chose and I've seen what I need,
And that is enough, to want more would be greed.
I've seen what I was and I know what I'll be
I've seen it all - there is no more to see!

You've seen it all and all you have seen
You can always review on your own little screen
The light and the dark, the big and the small
Just keep in mind - you need no more at all
You've seen what you were and know what you'll be
You've seen it all - there is no more to see!

"River of dreams"

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To the river so deep
I must be lookin' for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross
even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and stand on the shore
I try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find what I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
I been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I'd never lose
Something somebody stole
I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is I've been looking for
(Two beat Pause)
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To the river so deep
I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night (break)

’M’not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That is runnin' to the promised land (Long Four beat Pause)

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of the truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night


"Analyse"

Close your eyes, close your eyes
Breathe the air, out there
We are free, we can be
Wide open

For you I open my eyes
To the beauty I see
We we will pray,
We we will stay
Wide open

Don’t analyse
Don’t analyse
Don’t go that way
Don’t lead that way
That would paralyse your evolution

Don’t analyse

Don’t go that way
Don’t lead that way
That would paralyse your evolution

For you I open my eyes
To the beauty I see
We we will pray
We we will stay ...together

Lalala, the greatest love of them all

Mi ciudad

Mi ciudad

Mi ciudad es chinampa
En un lago escondido
Es zenzóntle que busca en donde hacer nido
rehiléte que engaña la vista al girar.

Baila al son
Del tequila y de su valentina
Es jinete que arriesga la vida
En un liénzo de fiesta y color.

Mi ciudad es la cuna
De un niño dormido
En un bosque de espejos que cuida un castillo
Monumentos de glória que velan su andar.

Es un sol
Con penacho y sarape veteado,
Que en las noches se viste de charro
Y se pone a cantarle al amor.

Por las tardes con la llúvia
Se baña su piél morena
Y al desatarse las trenzas
Sus ojos tristes se cierran.

Guadalupe Trigo/Lola Beltrán

Déjame en paz amor tirano

Déjame en paz amor tirano

Ciego que apuntas y atinas, caduco, dios y rapaz
vendado que me has vendido y niño mayor de edad
con el alma de tu madre que murió siendo inmortal
de envidia de mi señora que no me persigas más
que no me persigas más

Déjame en paz amor tirano, déjame en paz

Amadores desdichados que seguís milicia tal
decidme que buena guía podéis de un ciego sacar
de un pájaro que firmeza que esperanza de un rapaz
que galardón de un desnudo de un tirano que piedad
de un tirano que piedad

Déjame en paz amor tirano, déjame en paz

Diez años desperdicie los mejores de mi edad
en ser labrador de amor a costa de mi caudal
como aré sembré y cogí haré un alterado mar
sembré una estéril arena cogí vergüenza y afán
cogí vergüenza y afán

Déjame en paz amor tirano, déjame en paz

Luis de Góngora en voz de Paco Ibáñez

Lose yourself

Lose Yourself

Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity

To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment

Would you capture it or just let it slip?

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy

There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti

He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready

To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin

What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud

He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out

He's chokin, how everybody's jokin now

The clock's run out, time's up over, blouww!

Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity

Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked

He's so mad, but he won't give up that

Is he? No

He won't have it , he knows his whole back city's ropes

It don't matter, he's dope

He knows that, but he's broke

He's so stacked that he knows

When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's

Back to the lab again yo

This whole rhapsody

He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

[Hook:]

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

You own it, you better never let it go

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

The soul's escaping, through this hole that it's gaping

This world is mine for the taking

Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order

A normal life is borin, but superstardom's close to post mortar

It only grows harder, only grows hotter

He blows us all over these hoes is all on him

Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter

Lonely roads, God only knows

He's grown farther from home, he's no father

He goes home and barely knows his own daughter

But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water

His hoes don't want him no mo, he's cold product

They moved on to the next schmoe who flows

He nose dove and sold nada

So the soap opera is told and unfolds

I suppose it's old potna, but the beat goes on

Da da dum da dum da da

[Hook]

No more games, I'ma change what you call rage

Tear this mothafuckin roof off like 2 dogs caged

I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed

I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage

But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher

Best believe somebody's payin the pied piper

All the pain inside amplified by the fact

That I can't get by with my 9 to 5

And I can't provide the right type of life for my family

Cuz man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers

And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life

And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder

Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus

See dishonor caught up bein a father and a prima donna

Baby mama drama's screamin on and

Too much for me to wanna

Stay in one spot, another jam or not

Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail

I've got to formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot

Success is my only mothafuckin option, failure's not

Mom, I love you, but this trail has got to go

I cannot grow old in Salem's lot

So here I go is my shot.

Feet fail me not cuz maybe the only opportunity that I got

[Hook]

You can do anything you set your mind to, man

Demasiado corazon

"Si en la vida la muerte la buscas vamos a poner fe en el amor"
Demasiado corazon (Willie Colon)

When I am 64

When I am 64

When I get older losing my hair,
Many years from now.
Will you still be sending me a Valentine
Birthday greetings bottle of wine.
If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door,
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four
You'll be older too,
And if you say the word,
I could stay with you.
I could be handy, mending a fuse
When your lights have gone.
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday morning go for a ride,
Doing the garden, digging the weeds,
Who could ask for more.
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four
Every summer we can rent a cottage,
In the Isle of Wight, if it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera Chuck & Dave
Send me a postcard, drop me a line
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me.
When I'm sixty-four

Walking in the air

Walking In The Air - The Snowman

We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly

I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you

Far across the world
The villages go by like dreams
The rivers and the hills
The forests and the streams

Children gaze open mouth
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes

We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy
Mountain floating by

Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep

We're walking in the air
We're floating in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly

Nightwish

Por dignidad

La familia, los amigos,
aguardan con impaciencia
que por dignidad, la saque
de la casa con violencia.

Apenados me contemplan
o sonríen con desprecio.
Se les nota que sospechan
que sé cuanto saben ellos.

Y lo sé, lo supe siempre
que se acuesta con cualquiera
y ellos piensan que, eso, un hombre
como tal, no lo tolera.

Pero es simple, toda hembra
quiere a hombres diferentes
y a diferentes mujeres
quiere el hombre, es lo corriente.

Qué me importa que en un cuarto
otros encuentren amparo
siempre y cuando lo precise
lo halle desocupado.

No renuncio a la delicia
de tenerla sugerente
en mi cama cada noche
por prejuicios de otra gente.

La familia, los amigos,
me presionan a diario.
No me queda otro remedio
que mudarme de este barrio.

J.M. Serrat

Tripping

Tripping - Robbie Williams

First they ignore you
Then laugh at you and hate you
Then they fight you
Then you win

When the truth dies very bad things happen
They’re being heartless again
I know its gone and there’s going to be violence
I’ve taken as much as I’m willing to take
Why do you think we should suffer in silence?
When a heart is broken there’s nothing to break

You’ve been messing with some very heavy faces
The boys have done a bit of bird
They don’t kill their own when they all love their mothers
But you’re out of your depth son have a word

I know its gone and there’s going to be violence
I’ve taken as much as I’m willing to take
Why do you think we should suffer in silence?
The heart is broken there’s nothing to break

All is wonderful in this life
Dreaming of the son she wants
You should see me in the afterlife
Thinking of the sons so lost

When you think we’re lost we’re exploring
What you think is what you’re soon adoring
You don’t want the truth the truth is boring
I’ve got this fever, need to
Leave the house
Leave the car
Leave the bad men where they are
I leave a few shells in my gun
n' its Got me staring at the sun....

I know its gone and there’s going to be violence
I’ve taken as much as I’m willing to take
Why do you say we should suffer in silence?
My heart is broken there’s nothing to break

Ni tu ni nadie


Haces muy mal en elevar mi tensión,

en aplastar mi ambición,

tu sigue así, y ya veras.

Miro el reloj es mucho más tarde que ayer,

te esperaría otra vez,

y no lo haré, no lo haré.

Donde está nuestro error sin solución,

fuiste tú el culpable o lo fui yo

ni tú ni nadie, nadie, puede cambiarme.

Mil campanas suenan en mi corazón,

que difícil es pedir perdón,

ni tú ni nadie, nadie puede cambiarme.

Vete de aquí no me supiste entender

yo sólo pienso en tu piel,

no es necesario mentir.

Que fácil es atormentarse después,

pero sobreviviré

sé que podré, sobreviviré.

Donde está nuestro error sin solución

fuiste tú el culpable o lo fui yo

ni tu ni nadie, nadie, puede cambiarme.

Mil campanas suenan en mi corazón,

que difícil es pedir perdón,

ni tú ni nadie, nadie puede cambiarme.

Mil campanas suenan en mi corazón,

que difícil es pedir perdón,

ni tú ni nadie, nadie puede cambiarme.

Donde está nuestro error sin solución

fuiste tú el culpable o lo fui yo

ni tú ni nadie, nadie, puede cambiarme.

Mil campanas suenan en mi corazón,

que difícil es pedir perdón,

ni tu ni nadie, nadie puede cambiarme. (Alaska y Dinarama, 1984)



A quien le importa


A QUIEN LE IMPORTA

La gente me señala

me apuntan con el dedo

susurra a mis espaldas

y a mí me importa un bledo.

Qué más me da

si soy distinta a ellos

no soy de nadie,

no tengo dueño.

Yo sé que me critican

me consta que me odian

la envidia les corroe

mi vida les agobia.

Por qué será

yo no tengo la culpa

mi circunstancia les insulta.

Mi destino es el que yo decido

el que yo elijo para mí.

¿A quién le importa lo que yo haga?

¿A quién le importa lo que yo diga?

Yo soy así, y así seguiré, nunca cambiaré.

¿A quién le importa lo que yo haga?

¿A quién le importa lo que yo diga?

Yo soy así, y así seguiré, nunca cambiare

Quizá la culpa es mía

por no seguir la norma,

ya es demasiado tarde

para cambiar ahora.

Me mantendré

firme en mis convicciones,

reportaré mis posiciones.

Mi destino es el que yo decido

el que yo elijo para mí

¿A quién le importa lo que yo haga?

¿A quién le importa lo que yo diga?

Yo soy así, y así seguiré, nunca cambiaré

¿A quién le importa lo que yo haga?

¿A quién le importa lo que yo diga?

Yo soy así, y así seguiré, nunca cambiaré.

¿A quién le importa lo que yo haga?

¿A quién le importa lo que yo diga?

Yo soy así, y así seguiré, nunca cambiaré. (Alaska y Dinarama, 1986)

Only time will tell

Only time will tell Nana Mouskouri

Love changed our lonely lives

Caught us by surprise

Opened up our eyes

Somehow we both knew

Something rare and true

Something bright and new

Could be ours forever

But love love can not be planned

More you try to learn

Less you understand

Words could not dispel

What we know so well

Only time will tell

Like a tree as it grows

We will reach for the sky

Like a breeze gently blows

We?ll be free, you and I

For we know, time alone, holds the key

Love changed our lonely lives

Caught us by surprise

Opened up our eyes

Somehow we both knew

Something rare and true

Something bright and new

Could be ours forever

But love love can not be planned

More you try to learn

Less you understand

Words could not dispel

What we know so well

Only time will tell

Only time alone will tell

Darling, only time will tell

[adagio "Notturno" Schubert Op. Posth. 148]

Blame it on the boogie


Blame it on the boogie
My baby's always dancing
and it wouldn't be a bad thing
but I don't get no loving
and that's no lie
 
We spent the night in Frisco
At every kind of disco
From that I kissed
our love goodbye
 
Don't blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie
 
Don't you blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie
 
 
That nasty boogie bugs me
but somehow it has drugged me
Spellbound rhythm get me
on my feet
 
I've changed my life completely
I've seen the lightning leave me
my baby just can't take
her eyes off me
 
Don't blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie
 
Don't you blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie
 
I just can't
I just can't
I just can't control myself
 
I just can't
I just can't
I just can't control myself
 
Don't blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie
 
Don't you blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie
 
This magic music grooves me
That dirty rhtyhm moves me
The devil's gotten to me
through this dance
 
I'm full of funky fever
A fire burns inside me
Boogie's got me in a
super trance
 
Don't blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie
 
Don't you blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie
 
Sunshine
Moonlight
Good times
Boogie
 
Sunshine
Moonlight
Good times
Boogie
 
Don't you blame it
You just got to
You just want to
Yea-
Blame it on yourself
Ain't nobody's fault
But yours and that boogie
Dancing all night long

Sexo, pudor y lágrimas

Sexo, pudor y lágrimas. Aleks Sintek
Aveces no pienso,
me vuelvo tan frio y no estoy,
a veces me ausento de mis sentimientos
y luego sonrio,
recuerdo y me aferro a vivir
y a veces quisiera matar por tu amor
tan solo por un momento.

Y es que todavía no encuentro
lo que me seria normal
para darte mucho más
y entregarme por completo
sexo, pudor y lagrimas
me da igual.

Me quieres ver grande
a pesar de lo debil que soy
y si toco hasta el fondo
me sacas de nuevo,
por eso me quedo,
me aferro y te quiero a morir,
por eso aquí adentro
tu estas todo el tiempo,
viviendo de sufrimientos...

Y es que todavía no encuentro
lo que me sería normal,
para darte mucho mas
y entregarme por completo,
sexo, pudor y lagrimas
me da igual...

Sexo pudor y lagrimas, me da igual….

Dreams

Dreams Cranberries

Oh my life is changing everyday
Every possible way
Though my dreams, it’s never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems

I know I felt like this before
But now I’m feeling it even more
Because it came from you

Then I open up and see
The person fumbling here is me
A different way to be

I want more, impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore
They’ll come true, impossible not to do
Impossible not to do

Now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don’t hurt me
For what I couldn’t find

Talk to me amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You’re everything to me

Oh my life is changing everyday
Every possible way
Though my dreams, it’s never quite as it seems
’cause you’re a dream to me
Dream to me

Zombie

Zombie Cranberries

Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such silence,
Who are we mistaken?

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou...

Another mother's breakin',
Heart is taking over.
When the vi'lence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.

It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
In your head, in your head they're still fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are dying...

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...

Thank you Dido

Thank you Dido

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why
I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey,
but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad,
it's not so bad

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay,
my head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today,
I'm late for work again
And even if I'm there, they'll all imply
that I might not last the day
And then you call me and it's not so bad,
it's not so bad and

I want to thank you
for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you
is having the best day of my life

Push the door, I'm home at last
and I'm soaking through and through
Then you hand me a towel
and all I see is you
And even if my house falls down,
I wouldn't have a clue
Because you're near me and

I want to thank you
for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you
is having the best day of my life

The Scientist Coldplay

The Scientist (Coldplay)

Come up to meet you,
Tell you I'm sorry,
You don't know how lovely you are.

I had to find you,
Tell you I need you,
Tell you I set you apart.

Tell me your secrets,
And ask me your questions,
Oh, let's go back to the start.

Runnin' in circles,
Comin' up tails,
Its only science apart.

Nobody said it was easy,
It's such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy,
No one ever said it would be this hard.
Oh, take me back to the start.

I was just guessing,
At numbers and figures,
Pulling the puzzles apart.

Questions of science,
Science and progress,
Do not speak as loud as my heart.

Tell me you love me,
Come back and haunt me,
Oh, when I rush to the start.

Runnin' in circles,
Chasin' tails,
Comin' back as we are.

Nobody said it was easy,
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy,
No one ever said it would be so hard.
I'm goin' back to the start.

Oh-ooooh...
Aaaah...

MAKING LOVE OUT OF NOTHING AT ALL...AIR SUPPLY

MAKING LOVE OUT OF NOTHING AT ALL (Air Supply)
I know just how to whisper
And I know just how to cry
I know just where I find the answers
And I know just how to lie
I know just how to fake it
And I know just how to scheme
I know just when to face the truth
And then I know just when to dream
And I know just where I touch you
And I know just what to prove
I know when to pull you closer
And I know when to let you loose
And I know the night is fading
And I know the time’s gonna fly
And I’m never gonna tell you everything I gotta tell you
But I know I’ve got to give it a try
And I know the roads to riches
And I know the ways to pain
I know all the rules and then I know how to break’em
And then I always know the name of the game
But I don’t know how to leave you
And I’ll never let you fall
And I don’t know how you do it
Making love out of nothing at all
Making love
Out of nothing at all
Making love
Out of nothing at all
Making love
Out of nothing at all
Making love
Out of nothing at all
Making love
Out of nothing at all
Making love
Out of nothing at all
Everytime I see you, well the rays of the sun are all
Streaming through the waves in your hair
And every star in the sky is taking aim at your eyes
Like a spotlight
The beating of my heart is a drum and it’s lost
And it’s looking for a rhythm like you
You can take the darkness from the deep of the night
And turn it to a beacon burning endlessly bright
I gotta follow it ‘cause everything I know
Well, it’s nothing ‘till I give it to you
I can make the runner stumble
I can make the final block
And I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle
And I can make all the stadiums rock
I can make tonight forever
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn
And I can make you every promise that’s ever been made
And I can make all your demons be gone
But I’m never gonna make it without you
Do you really wanna see me crawl ?
And I’m never gonna make it like you do
Making love out of nothing at all
Making love
Out of nothing at all...
