”Şi deci făceam rău că mă bucuram de un lucru bun într-o anumită privinţă, rău într-o alta, şi păcatul meu consta în încercarea de a împăca ceea ce îmi cerea sufletul raţional cu pofta firească. Acum ştiam că sufeream din pricina contrastului dintre apetitul exprimat intelectiv, în care ar fi trebuit să se manifeste imperiul voinţei, şi apetitul exprimat senzitiv, supus slăbiciunilor omeneşti. Deci actus appetiti sensitivi in quantum habent trasmutationen corporalem annexam, passiones dicuntur, non autem actus voluntatis. Şi actul meu apetitiv era într-adevăr întovărăşit de un tremur al între¬gului corp, de un impuls fizic spre strigăte şi agitaţie, îngerescul doctor spune că dorinţele aprinse nu sunt rele în sine, dacă sunt potolite de voinţa povăţuită de sufletul raţional. Dar sufletul meu raţional era în dimineaţa aceea amorţit de oboseala care ţinea în frâu apetitul irascibil, care se adresează binelui şi răului ca unor termeni de cucerit, şi nu apetitul concupiscibil, care se adresează binelui şi răului, ca fiind cunoscute. Ca să lămuresc nesăbuita mea uşurătate de atunci, voi spune astăzi, folosindu-mă de cuvintele înge¬rescului doctor, că eram neîndoielnic cuprins de dragoste care este patimă şi lege cosmică, pentru că şi gravitatea corpului este dragoste naturală. Şi de patima aceasta eram, fireşte, răpit, pentru că în patima aceasta appetitus tendit in appetibile realiter consequendum ut sit ibi finis motus. Din care, fireşte, amor facit quod ipsas res quae amantur, amanţi aliquo modo uniantur e amor est magis cognitivus quam cognitio.”

”Tribal Dance” (versuri/lyrics)
Melodie de: 2 Unlimited

[Intro: Ray Slijngaard & Anita Doth]
Come on, check it out, y’all
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Check it out, the tribal dance
[?]
(Say that again?)

[Verse 1: Ray Slijngaard]
Feel the force, this is your chance
To get control and do the tribal dance
People started dancing a long time ago
The bass was fast, but then again it was slow
Soul, house, hip-hop and blues
It doesn’t really matter which music you choose
Start up a dance, this is your chance
To come with me and do the tribal dance

[Chorus: Anita Doth]
You’ve got to move it, feel the temperature
Into the rhythm, let the fire burn
So get into it, get into the trance
This is the rhythm of the tribal dance
The tribal dance

[Verse 2: Ray Slijngaard]
It started with a tribe who discovered the vibe
Who moved to the rhythm just the way they liked
You hear the treble, you hear the bass
The R-A-Y, yeah, is on the case
Feel the fire, feel the flame
Do your thing now, don’t be ashamed
I have to go now, no offense
I’ve hooked you up into the tribal dance

[Pre-Chorus: Anita Doth]
Get it into it
Get into it
Get into the trance

[Chorus: Anita Doth]
You’ve got to move it, feel the temperature
Into the rhythm, let the fire burn
So get into it, get into the trance
This is the rhythm of the tribal dance
The tribal dance

[Bridge: Anita Doth & Ray Slijngaard]
[?]
Check it out (C’mon!), take your chance
Check it out (C’mon!), take your chance
Check it out (C’mon!), take your chance
Tribal dance
Tribal dance, tribal dance

[Chorus: Anita Doth]
You’ve got to move it, feel the temperature
Into the rhythm, let the fire burn
So get into it, get into the trance
This is the rhythm of the tribal dance
The tribal dance

”No One” (versuri/lyrics)
Melodie de: 2 Unlimited

I’ve been searching a long time and I just don’t know
I try to catch solutions, I try to catch the flow
Thoughts running through my mind, maybe the man in the front, Yo
Was the man from behind
Where is the place where I don’t have to watch my back
When I can just go without protecting my sex
Will it come? No-one knows, hey yo. No-one knows
No-one can resist the desire
To escape to paradise
But it seems like there’s nothing else to do
But to dream and fantasize
On and on to the break up comes
Uh uh uh Cheer
No-One knows
You better recognize when I pass your way
It’s the techno-rap singer by the name of Ray
Can we compromise to have a better place
Can we reach the goal to have an equal race
So amazing how things change
But we’re growing up so it ain’t that strange
The inspiration comes through the nation
Will it last, no-one knows, no-one knows
No-one can resist the desire
To escape to paradise
But it seems like there’s nothing else to do
But to dream and fantasize
Escape to paradise
Dream and fantisize
Yeah…
No-one knows, yo, will I know
Like Janet Jackson „That’s the way love goes”
My mind’s playing tricks, there’s no way out
No-one can hear you, not even if you shout
I feel the pressure, you can not measure
Time will tell, heaven or hell
How will the world survive nowadays
No-one knows, hey yo, no-one knows
No-one can resist the desire
To escape to paradise
But it seems like there’s nothing else to do
But to dream and fantasize
No-one can resist the desire
To escape to paradise
But it seems like there’s nothing else to do
But to dream and fantasize
Hey hey hey hey
No-One knows!
Hey hey hey hey
No-One knows!!
Escape to paradise, Yeah
Oh, oh, oh
No-One can resist the desire to escape to paradise!

”Come Take My Hand” (versuri/lyrics)
Melodie de: 2 Brothers On The 4th Floor

I know a place where the sun’s always shining
With lovely flowers around everywhere
Come take my hand , I’ll show you I’ll guide you
I know this place it’s deep down inside you
I know a place where people not fighting
With smiling faces around everywhere
Come take my hand , I’ll show you I’ll guide you
I know this place it’s deep down inside you
Come take my hand I’ll lead you just follow me
To wonderland, it’s deep down inside of you
Come take my hand I’ll lead you just follow me
Come take my hand, come take my hand
Come take my hand I’ll lead you just follow me
To wonderland, it’s deep down inside of you
Come take my hand I’ll lead you just follow me
Come take my hand, come take my hand
Fantasize, energize, only you can rise, rise
If you really wanna do it, get in to it, baby move it
Slip slide to the place, bring a happy face, bass
Treble rebel is what I am, I boogie in the wonderland
It’s up to you to find, what you’re looking for
As I rock, rock, rock to the rhythm, I can give you more, more
From the soul, take control, find yourself never to old
Come, Come take my hand, and I will take you to this land

(chorus)
Take a chance, to enchant, on the floor as you dance
Come, come take my hand, travel with me to a land
Of happiness for everyone, run, run here I come
Pick it up, pick it up, don’t be late, feel the groove don’t be late
To go inside take a ride, now you now you can’t deny
What you feel is it real, let it go and you will know
What to do it’s up to you, follow me it’s nothing new
Come, come take my hand and I will take you to this land

(chorus)

”Me and Giuliani Down by the School Yard (A True Story)” (versuri/lyrics)
Melodie de: !!!

Well, the way I see it, doesn’t really matter
Because it don’t make no sense to all those mad Manhatters
But I do believe that there must come a moment
When even the piggiest pig must get on up and move it
I got this friend named Neil, swears Nixon had a soul
But what I’d like to know is can Giuli do the stroll?
People always ask me, „What’s so fucking great about dancing?”
How the fuck should I know? Yeah, even I can barely understand it
But when the music takes over, the music takes control
Here’s a message to you, Rudy and you, sir, Mr. Bloomberg
And the rest of you ties-too-tight dudes
Y’all could learn a lesson, by losing inhibitions, yeah
Losing yourself in the music, losing yourself in the moment
Because we have nothing more than this very second
You can’t count on the one coming after, no one’s sure about the one before
So forget about it, we live here and now, dude, here and now, here and now, here and now
So get on down down down down down down down down down down down down down down
NYC is where the freaks come to be free and if I can’t get my freak on see
I’m a hang up Giuliani, he can sick his lackeys on me
But you can’t stop a new age dawning
So if you got hips then shake them
And if you got fears forsake them
Giuliani’s got his rules but we ain’t no fools, let’s break them
Let’s break them, let’s break them down
And on the way we’ll make them say
Everybody cut, everybody cut, everybody cut, footloose

”N-aș ști să spun, frumoase doamne, cine greșește mai vârtos: firea când împreună un suflet nobil c-un trup hâd, ori poate soarta când alege un meșteșug netrebnic unei făpturi cu suflet nobil, precum s-a întâmplat cu florentinul nostru Cisti, ori precum zilnic se întâmplă cu atâția, după cum vedem. Căci pe numitul Cisti, om înzestrat de la natură c-un suflet nobil și ales, soarta îl făcu brutar. Și eu de bună seamă aș blestema și firea și soarta deopotrivă, dacă n-aș ști că cea dintâi e cumpănită și înțeleaptă, iar că pe de-altă parte soarta are o mie de ochi, deși prostia omenească o înfățișează oarbă. De aceea socotesc că ele, prevăzătoare fiind și înțelepte foarte, fac tocmai ca și oamenii când, neștiind ce anume le pregătește viitorul, își îngroapă lucrurile cele mai de preț, ca să le aibă la nevoie în cine știe ce ungher netrebnic de princasă, de unde apoi le scot la vreme de restriște, locul netrebnic dovedind că știe a le păzi mai bine decât le-ar fi păzit cea mai frumoasă încăpere. La fel firea și soarta,stăpânele omenirii, își tăinuiesc de multe ori comorile cele mai scumpe în umbra unor meșteșuguri ce-s socotite josnice, pentru că luându-le de acolo când au nevoie de ele, focul lor să-și dovedească strălucirea cu și mai multă limpezime.”

„Pushing Me Away” (versuri/lyrics)
Melodie de: Linkin Park

I’ve lied to you
The same way that I always do
This is the last smile
That I’ll fake for the sake of being with you

(Everything falls apart
Even the people who never frown
Eventually break down)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(Everything has to end
You’ll soon find we’re out of time left
To watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see you’re testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away

I’ve tried like you
To do everything you wanted too
This is the last time
I’ll take the blame for the sake of being with you

(Everything falls apart
Even the people who never frown
Eventually break down)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(Everything has to end
You’ll soon find we’re out of time left
To watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see you’re testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see you’re testing me pushes me away
(We’re all out of time
This is how we find how it all unwinds)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(We’re all out of time
This is how we find how it all unwinds)
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see you’re testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see you’re testing me pushes me away
Pushes me away

„Rhinestone” (versuri/lyrics)
Melodie de: Linkin Park

[Mark Wakefield (Mike Shinoda):]
From the top to the bottom (bottom to top I stop)
At the core of the rotten (stop to just what I thought)
But sun has escaped us (so bright in the sky)
And I’m far from a wait list (thinking, why did I try?)

From the top to the bottom (bottom to top I stop)
At the core of the rotten (stop to just what I thought)
But sun has escaped us (so bright in the sky)
And I’m far from a wait list (thinking, why did I try?)

[Mike Shinoda:]
From the thread to the needle, middle to end
When skies cock back and shock that which couldn’t defend
The rain then sends dripping an acidic question
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then, with the eyes tightly shut looking through the rust
And rotten dust, a spot of light floods the floor
Pours itself upon the world of pretend
Then the eyes ease open and it’s dark again

[Mark Wakefield (Mike Shinoda):]
From the top to the bottom (bottom to top I stop)
At the core of the rotten (stop to just what I thought)
But sun has escaped us (so bright in the sky)
And I’m far from a wait list (thinking, why did I try?)

From the top to the bottom (bottom to top I stop)
At the core of the rotten (stop to just what I thought)
But sun has escaped us (so bright in the sky)
And I’m far from a wait list (thinking, why did I try?)

[Mark Wakefield:]
In a minute you’ll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you’ll never forget me
But the lies have piled up

[Mike Shinoda:]
Moving all around, swinging of the ups and downs
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
And as the wheels go ‘round, the sunset creeps past the
Street lamps, cars, chain-links, and concrete
A window then grows, and captures the eye
Cries out yellow light as it passes it by
A small black figure sits in front of a box
Inside a box of rock with the needles on top
Nothing stops in this land of the chain
When brains lose not knowing they were part of the game
And then the insides grow, but the box stays the same in shame
Shovel up the pieces to the pain
You can try to hide yourself in the world of pretend
But when the paper’s crumpled up it can’t be perfect again

[Mark Wakefield (Mike Shinoda):]
From the top to the bottom (bottom to top I stop)
At the core of the rotten (stop to just what I thought)
But sun has escaped us (so bright in the sky)
And I’m far from a wait list (thinking, why did I try?)

From the top to the bottom (bottom to top I stop)
At the core of the rotten (stop to just what I thought)
But sun has escaped us (so bright in the sky)
And I’m far from a wait list (thinking, why did I try?)

[Mark Wakefield:]
In a minute you’ll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you’ll never forget me
But the lies have piled up

[Mike Shinoda:]
Yeah, I got you caught in the act
You better step back
Telling me that I’m seeing right through you
[8x]

[Mark Wakefield:]
In a minute you’ll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you’ll never forget me
But the lies have piled up

In a minute you’ll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you’ll never forget me
But the lies keep piling up

”So Says I” (versuri/lyrics)
Melodie de: The Shins

[Verse 1]
An address to the golden door
I was strumming on a stone again
Pulling teeth from the pimps of gore
When hatched a tragic opera in my mind
And it told of a new design
In which every soul is duty bound
To uphold all the statutes of boredom
Therein lies the fatal flaw of the red age

[Chorus 1]
Because it was nothing like we’d ever dreamt
Our lust for life had gone away with the rent we hated
Because it made no money
Nobody saved no one’s life this time

[Verse 2]
So we burned all our uniforms
And let nature take its course again
And the big ones just eat all the little ones
Sent us back to the drawing board

[Bridge]
In our darkest hours
We have all asked for some
Angel to come
Sprinkle his dust all around
But all our crying voices, they can’t turn it around
You’ve had some crazy conversations of your own

[Verse 3]
We got rules and maps and guns in our backs
But we still can’t just behave ourselves
Even if to save our own lives (So says I)
We are a brutal kind, woah

[Chorus 2]
‘Cause this is nothing like we’d ever dreamt
Tell Sir Thomas More we’ve got another failed attempt
‘Cause if it makes them money
They might just give you life this time

[Verse 1]
Funny how I find myself in love with you
If I could buy my reasoning, I’d pay to lose
One half won’t do

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve asked myself, how much do you
Commit yourself?

[Chorus]
It’s my life, don’t you forget
It’s my life, it never ends (It never ends)

[Verse 2]
Funny how I blind myself, I never knew
If I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose

[Pre-Chorus]
I’d tell myself, what good you do
Convince myself

[Chorus]
It’s my life, don’t you forget
It’s my life, it never ends (It never ends)

[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve asked myself, how much do you
Commit yourself?

[Chorus]
It’s my life, don’t you forget
Caught in the crowd, it never ends
It’s my life, don’t you forget
Caught in the crowd, it never ends
It’s my life, don’t you forget
Caught in the crowd, it never ends

”Piața Roman” (versuri/lyrics)
Melodie de: Nicu Alifantis

Desene frumoase stau pe pereți
Și am și-o pisică cu nouă vieți
Ea-i mai mult plecată, e-adevărat
Și-acasă când stă, stă mai mult sub pat.

Ușa e veche, broasca-i nouă
Piața Romană Nr. 9.

Într-un colț e-o chitară, desigur
Și-un-cceas ce se căznește să bată
Afară e vânt, ferestrele sunt
Tăiate din aceeași bucată.

E destul de mică camera mea
Dar încap toți prietenii mei în ea
Stau în picioare se așează pe jos
În rest sunt cuminți și vorbesc frumos.

Așa că vino sus dacă plouă
Piața Romană Nr. 9.

”Always” (versuri/lyrics)
Melodie de: Depeche Mode

The well is dry and the stream runs shallow
And the sun is high and the field lies fallow
My tongue is tied and my body aching
Now I’m open wide and afraid of breaking
The food is hot and the table’s ready
But my stomach’s knots make my hands unsteady
So, I take to pacing up and down the room
While my heart keeps racing and my mind’s consumed
I just want to be part of the light, of the light
Of the light, of the light, of the light in your eyes
I just want to be part of the light, of the light
Of the light, of the light, of the light in your eyes
The bed is made and the candles burning
All our games are played and the clock keeps turning
We’re out of tricks with the silence cutting
And the daggers stick as the doors keeps shutting
I just want to be part of the fight, of the fight
Of the fight, of the fight, of the fight in your eyes
I just want to be part of the fight, of the fight
Of the fight, of the fight, of the fight in your eyes
Always
Always
Always
Always (forever)
Always (forever)
Always (forever)
Always (forever)
Always

”Alone” (versuri/lyrics)
Melodie de: Depeche Mode

[Verse 1]
I was there when you needed me most
I was there when you wanted me least
I was your father, your son and your Holy Ghost and priest
Through your failures and success
Through your losses and gains
I didn’t see much happiness or pain

[Chorus]
I couldn’t save your soul
I couldn’t even take you home
I couldn’t fill that hole
Alone

[Verse 2]
I saw you at your best
I knew you at your worst
I couldn’t tell if you were blessed or cursed
There’s a thin grey line
Between the black and the white
It’s evidently hard to find at night

[Chorus]
I couldn’t save your soul
I couldn’t even take you home
I couldn’t play that role
Alone

[Bridge]
Now it’s too
Too late for words that should have been said
Long ago

[Verse 3]
I was there when you needed me most
I was there when you wanted me least
I was your father, your son and your Holy Ghost and priest

[Chorus]
I couldn’t save your soul
I couldn’t even take you home
I couldn’t fill that hole
Alone

”Driven to Tears” (versuri/lyrics In Paris)
Melodie de: Sting

How can you say that you’re not responsible?
What does it have to do with me?
What is my reaction?
What should it be?
Confronted by this latest atrocity
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat
My comfortable existence is reduced to a shallow, meaningless party
Seems that when some innocents die
All we can offer them is a page in some magazine
Too many cameras and not enough food
This is what we’ve seen
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
What?
Whoa-oh, oh
Whoa-oh, oh
Whoa-oh, oh
Whoa-oh
Protest is futile
Nothing seems to get through
What’s to become of our world?
Who knows what to do?
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears

”Israel” (versuri/lyrics)
Melodie de: Siouxsie and the Banshees

[Intro]
On to Israel
On to Israel

[Verse 1]
Little orphans in the snow
With nowhere to call a home
Start their singing, singing
Waiting through the summertime
To thaw your hearts in wintertime
That’s why they’re singing, singing

[Pre-Chorus]
Waiting for a sign
To turn blood into wine
The sweet taste in your mouth
Turned bitter in its glass

[Chorus]
Israel, in Israel
Israel, in Israel

[Verse 2]
Shattered fragments of the past
Meet in veins on the stained glass
Like the lifeline in your palm
Red and green reflects the scene
Of a long forgotten dream
There were princes and there were kings

[Pre-Chorus]
Now hidden in disguise
Cheap wrappings of lies
Keep your heart alive
With a song from inside

[Verse 3]
Even though we’re all alone
We are never on our own
When we’re singing, singing
Home, home!

[Bridge]
On to Israel
On to Israel
On to Israel

[Verse 4]
There’s a man who’s looking in
And he smiles a toothless grin
Because he’s singing, singing
See some people shine with glee
But their song is jealousy
Their hate is clanging, maddening

[Chorus]
In Israel will they sing Happy Noel?
In Israel, in Israel
Israel, in Israel
In Israel will they sing Happy Noel?

[Outro]
On to Israel
On to Israel
On to Israel
