”The Power of Love”
Melodie de: Frankie Goes to Hollywood

I’ll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Feels like fire
I’m so in love with you
Dreams are like angels
They keep bad at bay, bad at bay
Love is the light
Scaring darkness away, yeah
I’m so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on, burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
I’ll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
When the chips are down I’ll be around
With my undying, death-defying love for you
Envy will hurt itself
Let yourself be beautiful
Sparkling love, flowers
And pearls and pretty girls
Love is like an energy
Rushin’ an’ rushin’ inside of me, eh
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on, burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
This time we go sublime
Lovers entwine, divine, divine
Love is danger, love is pleasure
Love is pure, the only treasure
I’m so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
The power of love
A force from above
A sky-scraping dove
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
I’ll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door

Daniel Castro – ”I”ll play the blues for you”

Castro, Daniel No Responses »

”When you’re down and out, and you feel real hurt
Come on over to the place where I work
An’ all your loneliness, I’ll try to soothe
I’ll play the blues for you
Don’t be afraid, come on in
You might run across, yeah, some of your old friends
All your loneliness, I’ll try to soothe
I’ll play the blues for you
Come on in
Sit right here, let’s rap awhile
You see, I’m kinda lonely too
Loneliness is a very bad thing
And I have heard that loneliness
Blowin’ some pretty good people’s mind
But you can’t do that
Are you comfortable
Yeah, outta sight
I said I have heard of loneliness
Blowin’ some very fine people’s mind
But this is a big, big world
An’ there’s a lot of beautiful things going in this world
You just got to hang to them and be tough
Where you live?
No, no, disregard that
The most important thing, I wanna know you
I say, yeah, I wanna know you
That’s I was sayin’
I’ll play the blues for you
Ain’t got no big name
Oh Lord, an’ I ain’t no big star
But I’ll play the blues for you on my guitar
And all your loneliness, I’ve got to soothe
I’ll play the blues for you
Excuse me”

Conexiuni – ”Tu” (versuri):

Tu, ești în globul de cristal
Ce-mi arată drumul către mal
Când mă pierd în lumea mea, și-aș vrea
Să înving tristețea grea

Tu, nevăzută dar te simt
Te ignor dar nu pot să mă mint
Ești în ceea ce respir, ești tu
Firul ce mă leagă de miracolul din zori
Când din vis cobori, în tot ce ating în jurul meu
Chipul tău îl văd mereu, în gând
Ești orice, oricum, oricând

Tu, așteptarea din amurg
Când secundele încet se scurg
Cu atingeri moi de catifea
Alintate-n mâna ta

Tu, ești ideea de intens
Căutării mele-i dai un sens
Un motiv ca să încerc mai mult

Tu ești vocea ce-o ascult
Ești chemarea de demult
Ce mă face să nu-mi aparțin, nu mai sunt eu
Nu mai e nimic al meu, ești tu
Nu pleca nu spune nu..

Prince & The Revolution – ”Raspberry Beret”

”Raspberry Beret”
Melodie de: Prince & The Revolution

I was working part time in a five-and-dime
My boss was Mr. McGee
He told me several times that he didn’t like my kind
Cause I was a bit too leisurely
Seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing
But different than the day before
That’s when I saw her, Ooh, I saw her
She walked in through the out door, out door
She wore a…
Raspberry beret
The kind you find in a second hand store
Raspberry beret
And if it was warm she wouldn’t wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her
Built like she was
She had the nerve to ask me
If I planned to do her any harm
So, look here
I put her on the back of my bike
And-a we went riding
Down by old man Johnson’s farm
I said now, overcast days never turned me on
But something about the clouds
And her mixed
She wasn’t too bright
But I could tell when she kissed me
She knew how to get her kicks
She wore a…
Raspberry beret
The kind you find in a second hand store
Raspberry beret
And if it was warm she wouldn’t wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her
The rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof
And the horses wonder who you are
Thunder drowns out what the lightning sees
You feel like a movie star
Listen, they say the first time ain’t the greatest
But I tell you, if I had the chance to do it all again
I wouldn’t change a stroke
Cause baby I’m the most
With a girl as fine as she was then

Leo Sayer – ”Orchard Road”

Sayer, Leo No Responses »

nov. 082022

To tell the truth it’s really such a sad affair
Standing here waiting in the cold night air
But I’ve got to make this call
‘Cos my heart is breaking
I hear the pips drop a coin in the slot
Has it been that long
I thought you’d forgotten me
Well I know that it’s getting late
But I just couldn’t wait
Will I have the nerve to say
I just wanna come back
You shouldn’t just go away
I just wanna come back
I’ve been struck by such a bad luck
I need a place a little happiness and some love
I think I can see it now
Now let me paint the picture
It’s twelve o’ clock and the curtains are drawn
They’re counting sheep down in Orchard Road
You’re hanging on the telephone line tonight
And I wish I could be
In Orchard Road
Not much been happening here
I think I’ve got a job
They’re gonna call me next week
And I’ll be working out of town
Well it sure beats hanging around
What’s that
Tomorrow at two
You’re kidding me, no
Is it alright with you
I don’t know what to say
It’ll be like a holiday
When you say you’re all alone
Makes me wanna come back
And this house is not a home
I just gotta go back
It’s twelve ten when I put down the phone
The moon’s shining down on Orchard Road
And I’m feeling like a schoolboy again and tonight
I’ll see you in my dreams of Orchard Road

[Solo]

It’s funny but I thought I’d never go back
I think sometimes I might lose track
But I remember you and the things we do
And I want it back
In Orchard Road you’ve got my heart
I left it in your doorway
In Orchard Road a welcome mat
Is waiting there just for me
In Orchard Road
The sun will shine again, I know, I know
In Orchard Road you keep my love
It’s waiting there for me
It’s eight o’clock and the dawn’s arrived
In Orchard Road it’s breakfast time
I climb in my car and I turn the key and I’m gone
I am coming home
To Orchard Road
I’m coming home

Rawls, Lou, Reeves, Dianne No Responses »

nov. 042022

[Intro: Lou Rawls]
Yo, blood, check it out
Boy, is she hittin’ on all nine now?
Why don’t you vacate gate while I check it out
It is too hip for me, you dig?
Hey, mama

[Verse 1: Lou Rawls]
You’ve got a fine brown frame
And I wonder what could be your name
You look good to me, ‘cause all I can see
Is your fine brown frame
Tell me, how long have you been around?
Baby, when did you hit this big town?
I wanna scream ‘cause I’ve never seen
Such a fine brown frame

[Bridge: Lou Rawls]
Now, all that I have is a broken down chair
But I would gladly make you queen on my throne
Don’t be a square, why don’t you come over here?
‘Cause together we could really get it on

[Verse 2: Lou Rawls]
Now you’ve got a fine brown frame
Oh, baby, won’t you tell me your name?
You are solid with me ‘cause all I can see
Is your fine brown frame

[Verse 3: Dianne Reeves]
You’ve got a fine brown frame
And I wonder what could be your name
You look good to me, ‘cause all I can see
Is your fine brown frame
Tell me, how long have you been around?
Baby, when did you hit this big town?
Now I wanna scream, ow, ‘cause I’ve never seen
Such a fine brown frame

[Bridge: Dianne Reeves]
Now, all that I have is a broken down chair
But I would gladly make you king on my throne
Don’t be a square, why don’t you come over here
Together we could really get it on and on and on

[Verse 4: Dianne Reeves]
And you’ve got a fine brown frame
And I wonder, won’t you tell me your name?
You’re solid with me ‘cause all I can see
Is that fine brown frame

[Bridge: Lou Rawls, Dianne Reeves]
Now listen Dinah, Dolly, Madonna, and Mable
They are all fine as mink and sable (Yeah?)
You may not be classed with the elite, baby (I tried)
And you may not be hip to that jive like they talk in the street

[Outro: Lou Rawls, Dianne Reeves, Both]
Woman, oh, oh, baby, yo
You look like Venus done up in bronze
And I know I’m a clown whenever you’re around
Because I’m crazy about (I’m crazy about)
Mad about (I’m mad about)
I’m nuts about (Nuts about)
What? About your fine brown frame
Yeah
So crazy about you, baby

Reamonn – ”Aeroplane”

”Aeroplane”
Melodie de: Reamonn

I saw your name in a telephone book
As someone unlisted someone unknown
I guess you want to disappear
To another world
Where you’re left on your own

And I know we could close our eyes
And fool ourselves
With nowhere left to hide
I thought that giving up
Would be easier
But it’s harder not to try

Cause in your heart is a hurt that’s growing
You’re like a window to my world
Where no begin is where you are

I love you like an aeroplane
That’s taking me home again
I’m standing here in line
Cause some love just takes time

I love you like an aeroplane
That’s bringing me home again
If you’re searching for the truth
It’s in the feelings I have for you
It’s in the feelings I have for you

They say
Some things are forever and
Some things they only last a day
It it’s not getting better
If it’s difficult
Doesn’t mean you turn away

I know you live your life
Like a melody
A song that wants to grow
I thought that giving up
Would be easier
But it’s harder letting go
Cause in your heart is a hurt that’s growing
You’re like a window to my world
Where to begin is where you are

I love you like an aeroplane
That’s taking me home again
I’m standing here in line
Cause some love just takes time

I love you like an aeroplane
That’s taking me home again
If you’re searching for the truth
It’s in the feelings I have for you

I saw your name in a telephone book
As someone unlisted someone unknown
I guess you want to disappear
To another world
Where you’re left on your own

And I know we could close our eyes
And tell yourself
That’s there’s not much we can do
But I’m not giving up
I’m not giving up
On these feelings I have for you
Yeah these feelings I have for you
These feelings I have for you
These feelings I have for you
These feelings I have for you

”Paris:
Biata fată!
Urât te-a mai schimbat la faţă plânsul!
Julieta:
Nu prea. Era urâtă şi-nainte.
Paris:
Acest răspuns îţi urâţeşte faţa
Mai mult ca lacrimile.
Julieta:
Adevărul
N-a urâţit pe nimenea, señior,
Şi mie-mi place să îl dau pe faţă.”

Queen – ”A kind of magic”

Queen No Responses »

oct. 312022

It’s a kind of magic
It’s a kind of magic
A kind of magic (No way)
One dream, one soul
One prize, one goal
One golden glance of what should be
It’s a kind of magic
One shaft of light that shows the way
No mortal man can win this day
It’s a kind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time
It’s a kind of magic
The waiting seems eternity
The day will dawn of sanity (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Is this a kind of magic?
It’s a kind of magic
There can be only one
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be done
This flame that burns inside of me
I’m hearing secret harmonies
It’s a kind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time
It’s a kind of magic
It’s a kind of magic
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be, will soon be, will soon be done
This is (this is) a kind (a kind) of magic (yeah)
There can be only one (one, one, one)
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be done (done)
Magic (it’s a kind of magic)
It’s a kind of magic
Magic magic magic (magic)
(Magic) Aa ha ha haa, it’s magic (Magic)
It’s a kind of magic

”O vreme, cât o să vă iubiţi, tu ai să uiţi că el a fost strungar şi el are să uite că tu eşti intelectuală. Pe orizontală, se uită multe lucruri. Dar oamenii mai stau şi vertical. Şi n-are să treacă multa vreme, şi-n timp ce el are să uite probabil mai departe că tu eşti intelectuală, tu ai să-ţi aduci aminte tot mai des că el nu este intelectual.”

”Voi cădea în genunchi numai în fața copacului
pentru că el are o mie de picioare
și suferă să meargă.
Când mi-e dor de tine sărut o piatră
pentru ca nu are gură,
deși e mai tare ca dintele meu.”

The Airborne Toxic Event – ”Sometime around midnight”

Airborne Toxic Event, The No Responses »

oct. 272022

”And it starts sometime around midnight
Or at least that’s when you lose yourself for a minute or two
As you stand under the bar lights
And the band plays some song
About forgetting yourself for a while
And the piano’s this melancholy soundtrack to her smile
And that white dress she’s wearing
You haven’t seen her for a while

But you know that she’s watching
She’s laughing, she’s turning
She’s holding her tonic like a crux
The room’s suddenly spinning
She walks up and asks how you are
So you can smell her perfume
You can see her lying naked in your arms

And so there’s a change in your emotions
And all these memories come rushing
Like feral waves to your mind
Of the curl of your bodies like two perfect circles entwined
And you feel hopeless and homeless
And lost in the haze of the wine
Then she leaves with someone you don’t know
But she makes sure you saw her
She looks right at you and bolts
As she walks out the door
Your blood boiling, your stomach in ropes
Oh, and your friends say „What is it?
You look like you’ve seen a ghost”

Then you walk under the streetlights
And you’re too drunk to notice that everyone’s staring at you
You just don’t care what you look like
The world is falling around you

You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You know that she’ll break you in two”

”Prinţi şi conţi! Cu adevărat o mărturie de os domnesc! Şi ce contişor! Un viteaz neîntrecut! Ah, dacă aş fi bărbat de dragul lui! sau dacă aş avea un prieten care să vrea să fie bărbat de dragul meu! Dar bărbăţia s-a topit şi s-a prefăcut în curtenie, vitejia în complimente şi bărbaţii sânt nişte farfarale; e numai gura de ei. E de-ajuns ca un bărbat să spună o minciună şi să jure, ca să fie viteaz ca Hercule. Şi cum n-o să mă fac bărbat numai pentru că doresc să mă fac, de supărare o să mor femeie.”

William Shakespeare, ”Mult zgomot pentru nimic”

Citate, poezie și literatură, Eliade, Mircea

oct. 212022

”Asta n-o vor înțelege ei niciodată: că nu ești dator să ajungi ceva, că nu trebuie să parvii nicăieri, că ceea ce importă în primul rând este să fii tu și să poți rămâne tu însuți în orice împrejurare a vieții.”
