”Trebuie să admiţi că destinul este un stăpân, care depăşeşte prin combinaţii neprevăzute, infinit de variate, tot ceea ce biata noastră imaginaţie ar putea să conceapă…”

„Fortress Around Your Heart”
Melodie de: Sting
Under the ruins of a walled city
Crumbling towers in beams of yellow light
No flags of truce, no cries of pity
The siege guns had been pounding through the night
It took a day to build the city
We walked through its streets in the afternoon
As I returned across the fields I’d known
I recognised the walls that I once made
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I’d laid
And if I’ve built this fortress around your heart
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
Then let me build a bridge
For I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on fire
Then I went off to fight some battle
That I’d invented inside my head
Away so long for years and years
You probably thought, or even wished that I was dead
While the armies all are sleeping
Beneath the tattered flag we’d made
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I’d laid
And if I’ve built this fortress around your heart
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
Then let me build a bridge
For I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on fire
This prison has now become your home
A sentence you seem prepared to pay
It took a day to build the city
We walked through its streets in the afternoon
As I returned across the lands I’d known
I recognised the fields where I’d once played
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I’d laid
And if I’ve built this fortress around your heart
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
Then let me build a bridge
For I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on fire

”Dancing Shoes”
Melodie de: Arctic Monkeys
Get on your dancing shoes
There’s one thing on your mind
Hoping they’re looking for you
Sure you’ll be rummaging through
Oh and the shit, shock, horror
You’ve seen your future bride
Yeah, but it’s oh so absurd
For you to say the first word so you’re waiting and waiting and
The only reason that you came
So what you scared for?
Well, don’t you always do the same?
It’s what you there for, don’t you know?
The lights are flashing
Down in here tonight
And some might exchange a glance
But keep pretending to dance
Don’t act like it’s not happening
As if it’s impolite
To go and mention your name
Instead you’ll just do the same as they all do and hope for the best
The only reason that you came
So what you scared for?
Well, don’t you always do the same?
It’s what you’re there for, but no
Get on your dancing shoes
You sexy little swine
Hoping they’re looking for you
Sure you’ll be rummaging through
I said, the shit, shock, horror
You’ve seen your future bride, yeah
Yeah, but it’s oh so absurd
For you to say the first word so you’re waiting and waiting

”The Valleys of New Orleans”
Melodie de: The Veils
Someday the walls will tremble with terrible flames here
‘Til the mouth of some hurricane sweeps them away
And If I had either love or fortune I’d shed them both here
But those cards are so rarely played I’ve hid them away
The valleys of New Orleans
The valleys of New Orleans
Oh Stanley I’ve heard you laughing your way around here
There’s a game that I wish to play, so slow down
I found another in Sidneys’ pocket, she knows my name
And she says she wants to drive all night in the dark through all
The valleys of New Orleans
The valleys of New Orleans
Sidney says God is watching so don’t fear now
She says he’s bound to come, give him time
Her mouth is the taste of sea salt and saddled rum
She speaks in a vagrant language I’d heard once in a film about
The valleys of New Orleans
The valleys of New Orleans
The valleys of New Orleans
The valleys of New Orleans

”Încă din fragedă tinerețe și până în vremurile de față, eu, ca unul care pururi am fost înflăcărat de o iubire înălțătoare și curată, poate cu mult mai înălțătoare și mai curată decât s-ar cuveni umilei mele stări – așa precum ar putea crede unii, din cele câte povestesc – deși găsit-am laudă și prețuire la aceia care îmi aflaseră iubirea și erau oameni înțelepți, cu toate aceste, zic, mi-a fost nespus de greu s-o îndur, și nu din pricina cruzimii femeii îndrăgite, ci din pricina văpăii în care ardeam muncit de doruri nesățioase; iară văpaia aceasta, neîngăduindu-mi să găsesc în nici un chip vreo alinare, adesea mă făcea să simt mai multă amărăciune decât ar fi trebuit. Or, în amărăciunea aceasta, cuvintele de bine ale câte unui prieten și mângâierile lui mi-au adus atâta ușurare, încât sunt pe deplin încredințat că numai datorită lor se face c-am scăpat cu viață.”
Giovanni Boccaccio, ”Decameronul”

”N-am nimic decât inima:
Ți-o dau.
Am un bordei în pădure, cu căprioare
Te primesc în el.
Am un pat de frunze:
Te-nvelesc cu el.
N-am bijuterii de purtat
Dar îți dau toate stelele cerului, că sunt ale mele.
Te voi purta cu Carul Mic prin pădure și în
Carul Mare prin toată lumea.
Mai am pentru tine, departe, departe… o salbă de luni.
Și mai am ceva pentru tine: INIMA…
Ia-mi-o și poart-o!”Tudor Arghezi

”Dressed for Success”
Melodie de: Roxette
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Tried to make it little by little
Tried to make it bit by bit on my own
Quit the job, the grey believers
Another town where I get close to the bone

And in the dark, things happen faster
I love the way you sway your hips next to mine

”Who Can It Be Now?”
Melodie de: Men At Work
Who can it be knocking at my door?
Go ‘way, don’t come ‘round here no more
Can’t you see that it’s late at night?
I’m very tired and I’m not feeling right
All I wish is to be alone
Stay away, don’t you invade my home
Best off if you hang outside
Don’t come in, I’ll only run and hide
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be knocking at my door?
Make no sound, tip-toe across the floor
If he hears, he’ll knock all day
I’ll be trapped and here I’ll have to stay
I’ve done no harm, I keep to myself
There’s nothing wrong with my state of mental health
I like it here with my childhood friend
Here they come, those feelings again!
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Is it the man come to take me away?
Why do they follow me?
It’s not the future that I can see
It’s just my fantasy, yeah
Ooh, who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
(Ooh ooh) Who can it be now?
(Oh, wee oh) Who can it, Who can it
(Ooh ooh) Who can it be now?
(Ooh ooh wee) Yeah yeah yeah

”De ce te-oi fi iubind, femeie visătoare,
care mi te-ncolăceşti ca un fum, ca o viţă-de-vie
în jurul pieptului, în jurul tâmplelor,
mereu fragedă, mereu unduitoare?
De ce te-oi fi iubind, femeie gingaşă
ca firul de iarbă ce taie în două
luna văratecă, azvârlind-o în ape, despărţită de ea însăşi
ca doi îndrăgostiţi după îmbrăţişare?…
De ce te-oi fi iubind, ochi melancolic,
soare căprui răsărindu-mi peste umăr,
trăgând după el un cer de miresme
cu nouri subţiri fără umbră?
De ce te-oi fi iubind, oră de neuitat,
care-n loc de sunete
goneşte-n jurul inimii mele
o herghelie de mânji cu coame rebele?
De ce te-oi fi iubind atâta, iubire,
vârtej de-anotimpuri colorând un cer
(totdeauna altul, totdeauna aproape)
ca o frunză căzând. Ca o răsuflare-aburită de ger…”Nichita Stănescu, ”Cântec fără răspuns”

„Gloria prieteniei nu stă în mâna întinsă, nici în zâmbetul amabil, nici în bucuria companiei; este inspiraţia spirituală care vine atunci când descoperi că cineva crede în tine şi este dispus să aibă încredere în tine cu prietenia.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

”Chiar şi în moarte, bogăţia apare, dispreţul şi mai mult pentru cel sărac!
În acel moment, cel puţin, Jacques Maing se înşela: populaţia din Wahagnies era sinceră în exprimarea regretului ei şi nu se gândea doar să curteze pe procuror, străin de regiune şi pe care el o detesta din instinct.
Şi deci, dacă semnalăm gândurile lui Jacques, este doar pentru a atrage atenţia asupra stării de spirit a acestui om, care îşi iubea real mama, dar care, în acelaşi timp, era ros de invidie.
Of, dacă poporul ar putea să se păzească de invidie. Doar prin sentimente generoase te poţi ridica! În marea luptă pentru viaţă, în încrâncenarea pentru cucerirea existenţei, invidia este, poate, sentimentul ce paralizează cel mai mult acţiunea.
Omul care pierde un timp preţios gândindu-se la josnicia altora, devine incapabil de efortul ce i-ar putea asigura locul pe care ar vrea să-l cucerească în societate.
În această bătălie ce se dă, să fim mai măreţi, mai profund umani decât adversarii.”Michel Zevaco, ”Marie Rose”

”I Love a Man in a Uniform”
Melodie de: Gang of Four
Time with my girl I spent it well
I had to be strong for my woman
(You must be joking, O man you must be joking)
She needed to be protected
The good life was so elusive
Handouts, they got me down
I had to regain my self-respect
So I got into camouflage
The girls they love to see you shoot
I love a man in a uniform
I love a man in a uniform
I love a man in a uniform
I love a man in a uniform
To have ambitions was my ambition
But I had nothing to show for my dreams
Time with my girl I spent it well
(You must be joking, O man you must be joking)
The good life was so elusive
Handouts, they got me down
I had to regain my confidence
So I got into camouflage
The girls they love to see you shoot
I love a man in a uniform
I love a man in a uniform
I love a man in a uniform
I love a man in a uniform
I need an order
(Shoot, shoot)
I need an order
(Shoot, shoot)
I need an order
(Shoot, shoot)
I need an order
(Shoot, shoot)
To have ambition
Was my ambition
Time with my girl I spent it well
(You must be joking, O man you must be joking)
The girls they love to see you shoot
The girls they love to see you shoot
I love a man in a uniform
I love a man in a uniform
(They love to see you shoot)
I love a man in a uniform
The girls they love to see you shoot
I love a man in a uniform
(They love to see you shoot)
The girls they love to see you shoot
I love a man in a uniform
(They love a… they love a… they love a…)
(They love to see you shoot)
The girls they love to see you shoot
(Bang bang you’re dead)
I love a man in a uniform
(They love a… they love a… they love a… bang bang)
(They love to see you shoot)
The girls they love to see you shoot
I love a man in a uniform
(They love a… they love a… they love a… bang bang)
(They love to see you shoot)
The girls they love to see you shoot
(Bang bang you’re dead)
I love a man in a uniform
(They love a… they love a… they love a… bang bang)
(They love to see you shoot)
The girls they love to see you shoot
(Bang bang you’re dead)
(They love a… they love a… they love a…)
(I love a man in a uniform)

”Există o sfinţenie în lacrimi. Ele nu sunt semne ale slăbiciunii, ci ale puterii. Ele vorbesc mai elocvent decât zece mii de limbi. Sunt mesagerii unei dureri copleşitoare, unui regret adânc şi a unei iubiri de negrăit.”

Melodie de: New Order
Answer me
Why won’t you answer me?
I can’t recall the day
That I last heard from you
Well you don’t get a town like this for nothing
So here’s what you’ve got to do
You work your way to the top of the world
Then you break your life in two
Well what’s the use in complaining
When you’ve got what you don’t need
Anyone would think you were hard done to
What do you want me to believe?
What the hell is happening
I can’t think of everything
I don’t know what day it is
Or who I’m talking to
But I know that I’m okay
‘Cause you’re here with me today
I haven’t got a single problem
Now that I’m with you
So what’s the use in complaining
When you’ve got everything you need
Anyone would think you were hard done to
What do you want me to believe?

”Please let me know”
Melodie de: Cool cut
There’s a secret in your life
Believe in love and you survive…
Please let me know
Oh, baby, I need you, I want you, I miss you so
Please don’t go
Oh, baby, I need you, I want you, I miss you
Love… Love… Love is a symbol of freedom
Another idea for great love kingdom
Love is a symbol of motion
You can’t get it without devotion
You wounded by a wounded heart
You hunted but you broke apart
What I tell you, We’re right on time
Don’t do no dope – Don’t do no crime
Oh-oh-oh, Don’t do no dope – Don’t do no crime
Oh-oh-oh…
Oh, baby, please let me know
Oh, baby, I need you, I want you, I miss you so
Please don’t go
Oh, baby, I need you, I want you, I miss you so
Don’t take no dope (There’s a secret…)
Don’t do no crime (Baby in your life…)
Don’t take no dope (Believe in love…)
Don’t do no crime (And you survive…)
Love is a symbol of living
What have you lost if you’re not giving
Love is a symbol of nations
We’re all adjusted to the new generation
It’s a mission: we believe in love
It’s a vision what we’re dreaming of
What I tell you, We’re right on time
Don’t do no dope – Don’t do no crime
Oh-oh-oh, Don’t do no dope – Don’t do no crime
Oh-oh-oh…
Oh, baby, please let me know
Oh, baby, I need you, I want you, I miss you so
Please don’t go
Oh, baby, I need you, I want you, I miss you so
Baby, please don’t go
Don’t take no dope (There’s a secret…)
Don’t do no crime (Baby in your life…)
Don’t take no dope (Believe in love…)
Don’t do no crime (And you survive…)
Please let me know
Oh, baby, I need you, I want you, I miss you so
Please don’t go
Oh, baby, I need you, I want you, I miss you so
