”Călugărul zen Bankei Ytaku obișnuia să strângă în jurul său discipoli din diferite părți ale Japoniei, veniți să mediteze împreună.
Într-una din aceste ocazii, unul dintre tineri a fost prins furând. Fapta i-a fost raportată îndată lui Bankei, cu recomandarea că hoțul să fie alungat. Bankei nu a reacționat în niciun fel, preferând să ignore întâmplarea.
Mai târziu, elevul a fost prins furând pentru a doua oară, dar maestrului nu a părut să-i pese nici de această dată. Nemulțumiți, ceilalți discipoli i-au adresat o petiție, prin care îi cereau să îl alunge pe hoț, pentru că altfel aveau să plece ei.
Bankei i-a chemat pe toți la el, inclusiv pe hoț, și le-a spus:
– Voi sunteți cu toții înțelepți. Poate că nici nu aveți nevoie de un maestru, din moment ce știți să distingeți binele de rău și nu comiteți niciodată vreo faptă greșită. În schimb, acest tânăr sărac nu știe nici măcar lucrurile elementare. Faptul că e aici arată însă că vrea să învețe. De aceea, nu îl voi alunga niciodată pe un om ce are nevoie cu adevărat de mine, ci prefer să vă văd pe voi plecând.
Impresionați de înțelepciunea maestrului, tinerii i-au dat dreptate. Iar hoțul a început să plângă, cuprins de remușcări, și de atunci nu a mai comis niciodată vreun furt.”

Nicu Alifantis – ”Dacă tu ai dispărea”

Alifantis, Nicu Comentariile sunt închise

Dacă tu ai dispărea
Într-o noapte oarecare
Dulcea mea, amara mea
Aș pleca mereu pe mare.

Cu un sac întreg de lut
Și-o spinare de nuiele
Să te fac de la-nceput
Cu puterea miini mele.

Lucru lung și monoton
Să te înviez femeie
Eu bolnav Pygmalion
Hai și umblă Galatee.

Dacă tu ai dispărea
Fir-ar moartea numai viață
Dulcea mea, amara mea
Aș pleca în țărm de gheață.

Să te fac din țurțuri mici
Să te-mbrac în promoroacă
Și apoi să poți să pleci
Orișiunde o să-ți placă.

De-ai cădea într-adevăr
În momentul marii frângeri,
Aș veni la tine-ncet
Să te recompun din îngeri.

Și pe urmă voi pleca,
Umilit și iluzoriu,
Unde este casa mea,
O mansardă-n purgatoriu.

Dacă tu ai dispărea
Și din râsu-mi și din plânsu-mi
Te-aș găsi în sinea mea,
Te-aș clădi din mine însumi.

Ed Sheeran – ”Photograph”

Sheeran, Ed Comentariile sunt închise

Loving can hurt
Loving can hurt sometimes
But it’s the only thing
That I know
And when it gets hard
You know it can get hard sometimes
It is the only thing that makes us feel alive
We keep this love in a photograph
We make these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
And time’s forever frozen still
So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holdin’ me closer ‘til our eyes meet
You won’t ever be alone
Wait for me to come home
Loving can heal
Loving can mend your soul
And is the only thing
That I know, know
I swear it will get easier
Remember that with every piece of ya, mmm
And it’s the only thing we take with us when we die, mmm
We keep this love in a photograph
We make these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts were never broken
And time’s forever frozen still
So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holdin’ me closer ‘til our eyes meet
You won’t ever be alone
And if you hurt me
Well, that’s okay, baby, only words bleed
Inside these pages you just hold me
And I won’t ever let you go
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Oh, you can fit me
Inside the necklace you got when you were 16
Next to your heartbeat where I should be
Keep it deep within your soul
And if you hurt me
Well, that’s okay, baby, only words bleed
Inside these pages you just hold me
And I won’t ever let you go
When I’m away
I will remember how you kissed me
Under the lamppost back on 6th street
Hearing you whisper through the phone
Wait for me to come home

Mama said you were a serial killer
But I did not believe her
Until I saw your face in the paper
Look just like my next door neighbour
When they say about brotherly love
Come on and give a hoodie a hug
No don’t be shy
Don’t be shy
They don’t bite
They don’t bite
Dreadlocks moving in around the corner
Put the kettle on and invite him over
And anything you wanna borrow
Please don’t bother
Be good to him today
And he’ll be good to you tomorrow
Singin
Saying oh oh oh see how we live our lives
Oh oh oh oh living on different sides
This Cold Town is too hot for man like I n I
Its no place for I n I
No place for I n I
This Cold Town is too hot for man like I n I
Its no place for I n I
No place for I n I
Maybe mama was afraid of the unknown
So we only ever tasted the homegrown
No sticks no seeds
No Blacks no Irish please
See these, illegal African taxis
Got to dial up my call centers overseas
Take what you can from the English man
Then you build yourself a palace back in Pakistan
Saying oh oh oh thank you your majesty
Saying woah oh oh come out and visit me
This Cold Town is too hot for man like I n I
Its no place for I n I
No place for I n I
This Cold Town is too hot for man like I n I
Its no place for I n I
No place for I n I
Gonna tell my mum I wanna quit my job
I wanna move to the countryside
Don’t know what my mama gonna say
But I’ma tell her it will be alright
‘Cos this town a lick you down down
A lick you down down
Man a man I need to survive
Next time you gonna see me
I’ll be chilling on a hill side
Right
This Cold Town is too hot for man like I n I
Its no place for I n I
No place for I n I
This Cold Town is too hot for man like I n I
Its no place for I n I
No place for I n I

„Degeaba le-am avea pe toate: inteligenţa, cultura, isteţimea, supracultura, doctoratele, supradoctoratele, dacă suntem răi, haini, mojici şi vulgari, proşti şi nerozi, doi bani nu facem, se duc pe apa sâmbetei şi inteligenţa, şi erudiţia, şi supradoctoratele, şi toate congresele internaţionale la care luăm parte, şi toate bursele pentru studii pe care le câştigăm prin concursuri severe.
Nimic nu poate înlocui şi suplini niţică bunătate sufletească, niţică bunăvoinţă, toleranţă, înţelegere. Niţică susţinută bună-cuviință.”

Take your baby by the hand
And make her do a high handstand
And take your baby by the heel
And do the next thing that you feel
We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze
When I, you and everyone we knew
Could believe, do and share in what was true
I said
Dance hall days love
Take your baby by the hair
And pull her close and there, there, there
And take your baby by the ears
And play upon her darkest fears
We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze
When I, you and everyone we knew
Could believe, do and share in what was true
I said
Dance hall days, love
Dance hall days
Dance hall days, love
Take your baby by the wrist
And in her mouth an amethyst
And in her eyes two sapphires blue
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze
When I, you and everyone we knew
Could believe, do and share in what was true
I said
Dance hall days, love
Dance hall days, love
Dance hall days
Dance hall days, love
Dance hall days
Dance hall days, love
Dance hall days
Dance hall days, love

Break a mirror, roll the dice
Run with scissors through a chip pan fire fight
Go into business with a grizzly bear
But just don’t sit down ‘cause I’ve moved your chair
Find a well known hard man and start a fight
Wear your shell suit on bonfire night
Filling a circular hole with a pen that’s square
But just don’t sit down ‘cause I’ve moved your chair
Ooh, yeah yeah yeah
Ooh, yeah yeah yeah
Bite the lightening and tell me how it tastes
Kung fu fighting on your roller skates
Do the Macarena in the devil’s lair
But just don’t sit down ‘cause I’ve moved your chair
Ooh, yeah yeah yeah
Ooh, yeah yeah yeah
Ooh, yeah yeah yeah

A few stolen moments, is all that we shared
You’ve got your family, and they need you there
Though I try to resist, being last on your list
But no other man’s gonna do
So I’m saving all my love for you
It’s not very easy, living all alone
My friends try and tell me, find a man of my own
But each time I try, I just break down and cry
‘Cause I’d rather be home feeling blue
So I’m saving all my love for you
You used to tell me, we’d run away together
Love gives you the right to be free
You said be patient, just wait a little longer
But that’s just an old fantasy
I’ve got to get ready, just a few minutes more
Gonna get an old feeling, when you walk through that door
‘Cause tonight, is the night for feeling alright
We’ll be making love the whole night through
So I’m saving all my love
Yes, I’m saving all my love
Yes, I’m saving all my love for you
No other woman is gonna love you more
‘Cause tonight is the night
That I’m feeling all right
We’ll be making love the whole night through
So I’m saving all my love
Yeah, I’m saving all my lovin’
Yes, I’m saving all my love for you
For you
For you

A-ha – ”Hunting high and low”

A-ha Comentariile sunt închise

Here I am
And within the reach of my hands
She sounds asleep
And she’s sweeter now than the wildest dream
Could have seen her
And I watch her slipping away
Though I know I’ll be
Hunting high and low
High
There’s no end to the lengths I’ll go to
Hunting high and low
High
There’s no end to the lengths I’ll go
To find her again
Upon this my dreams are depending
Through the dark
I sense the pounding of her heart
Next to mine
She’s the sweetest love I could find
And so I guess I’ll be
Hunting high and low
High
There’s no end to the lengths I’ll go to
High and low
High
Do you know what it means to love you?
I’m hunting high and low
And now she’s telling me
She’s got to go away
I’ll always be hunting high and low
Hungry for you (and now she’s telling me)
Watch me tearing myself to pieces
Hunting high and low
High
There’s no end to the lengths I’ll go to
Oh-oh-oh, for you I’ll be
Hunting high and low

I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control
I didn’t mean to hurt you
I’m sorry that I made you cry
I didn’t mean to hurt you
I’m just a jealous guy
I was feeling insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside
I didn’t mean to hurt you
I’m sorry that I made you cry
I didn’t want to hurt you
I’m just a jealous guy
I was trying to catch your eye
I thought that you was trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain
I didn’t mean to hurt you
I’m sorry that I made you cry
I didn’t mean to hurt you
I’m just a jealous guy

Down, down in my bones
Somewhere I’d never ever known
Right at the back of my head
It hit me like a beam of light
Hit me like a hook of the right
And I could have fell to the floor
‘Cause you talk to me
And it comes off the wall
You talk to me
And it goes over my head
So let’s go to bed
Before you say something real
Let’s go to bed
Before you say how you feel
‘Cause it’s you
Oh, oh, it’s always you
Oh, oh, I always knew
Oh, oh, it’s you
I try my best to unwind
Nothing on my mind but you
Oblivious to all that I’ll owe
I’m hanging on
To what I don’t know
So let’s go to bed
Before you say something real
Let’s go to bed
Before you say how you feel
‘Cause it’s you
Oh, oh, it’s always you
Oh, oh, I always knew
Oh, oh, it’s you
Yeah, it’s you
Oh, oh, it’s always you
Oh, oh, I always knew
Oh, oh, it’s you
Well it’s you
Oh, oh, it’s always you
Oh, oh, I always knew
Oh, it’s you
I knew, oh I always knew
Yes, I always knew
Oh, oh, it’s you

“According to Vedanta, there are only two symptoms of enlightenment, just two indications that a transformation is taking place within you toward a higher consciousness. The first symptom is that you stop worrying. Things don’t bother you anymore. You become light-hearted and full of joy. The second symptom is that you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities. And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous. (quoted by Carol Lynn Pearson in Consider the Butterfly)”

”Într-o zi strânse Aristotel două sute de coconi de vârsta lui Alexandru şi puse pe Alexandru peste o sută şi pe Potolomei peste altă sută, să ispitească norocul lui Alexandru; şi făcu şi tocmi două oşti; şi se loviră cu suliţi de trestii şi se tăiară cu săbii de lemn şi bătu Alexandru pe Potolomei şi sparse oastea lui Alexandru pe oastea lui Potolomei. Iară Aristotel privea din foişor şi zise:
– O, dragul meu Alexandre! De vei fi tu împărat, ce bine îmi vei face?
Alexandru zise:
– Nu trebuieşte a făgădui darul până ce nu-l va da Dumnezeu, iară viţa de la par nu se depărtează.”

Come here, please hold my hand for now
Help me, I’m scared please show me how to fight this,
God has a master plan and I guess
I am in His demand
Please save me, this time I cannot run
And I’ll see you when this is done
And now I have come to realize
That you are the one who’s left behind
Please stay until I’m gone
I’m here hold on
To me I’m right here waiting
I see, a light it feels good
And I’ll come back soon just like you would
It’s useless, my name has made the list
And I wish, I gave you one last kiss
Please stay until I’m gone
I’m here hold on
To me I’m right here waiting
And take my one last breath,
And don’t forget
That I will be right here waiting
Please stay until I’m gone
I’m here hold on
To me I’m right here waiting
And take my one last breath,
And don’t forget
That I will be right here waiting
Please stay until I’m gone
I’m here hold on
To me I’m right here waiting
And take my one last breath,
And don’t forget
That I will be right here waiting
