”Plăcute doamne, tare-i greu să știi ce anume ar fi spre binele cuiva. Căci, după cum se întâmpla adesea, unii, gândind că dacă ar fi bogați s-ar pune la adăpost de rele și-ar duce un trai lipsit de griji, nu numai că se roagă cerului să le împlinească voia, dar pe deasupra se mai zbat și singuri, fără a se da înapoi de la nici o trudă sau primejdie ca să-și ajungă ținta; iar după ce au ajuns bogați, se pomenesc ca din senin că dau peste un tâlhar, care, râvnindu-le avutul, se pune și-i omoară pe ei, sărmanii, care mai înainte, așa săraci cum se aflau, țineau totuși la viață. Alții în schimb, prin mii de lupte primejdioase și prin vărsări de sânge -sânge de frate sau de prieten – ajunși din simpli oameni de rând la treptele măririi, crezând c-au dobândit marea fericire, fără a mai pune la socoteală grijile cele multe și teama care pas de pas le mistuie odihna,ajuns-au, spre pieirea lor, să-și deie seama că-n ocale de aur bei venin la mesele regești. Mulți și-au dorit cu patimă puteri trupești și frumusețe, alții au dorit podoabe, dar nici n-au apucat măcar să-și dea bine seama că au poftit la rele, c-au și ajuns să înțeleagă că cele câștigate sunt pricină de moarte și viață chinuită. Dar ca să nu mai stau să-nșir dorință de dorință, voi spune doar că nu e chip să-și poată omul alege una, de care apoi să fie încredințat că nu va fi lovită de valurile sorții. Drept aceea, de-am vrea să ne purtăm cu toții înțelepțește, ar fi cu cale să primim doar ceea ce ne împarte Părintele Ceresc, căci numai el cunoaște toată nevoia noastră și numai el ne-o poate mulțumi. Dar tot așa precum bărbații păcătuiesc în felurite chipuri râvnind la te miri ce, voi, drăgălașe doamne, păcătuiți de obicei doar într-un singur chip, râvnind adică frumusețea până într-atâta, încât, fără a vă mulțumi cu darurile firii, vă străduiți a le spori cu fel de fel de dichiseli.”
Giovanni Boccaccio, ”Decameronul”
Ion Minulescu – ”Ce faci tu?”
”Ce faci tu? de-atâta vreme
N-am mai rătăcit prin crânguri,
N-a-ncercat să te mai cheme
Dorul ca să fim iar singuri?…
Haide, fii copil cuminte
N-aștepta să vin la tine
Să te fac cu rugăminte
Să pricepi ce este bine.
De-ai ști tu ce farmec dulce
E sub teiul singuratic!…
Vino, crângu-o să ne culce
Pe-al lui pat de flori, sălbatic.
Și-ochii tăi ca doi luceferi
Să-i lumine ca-n trecut.
Să te văd cum o să-i aperi,
Dacă-oi vrea să ți-i sărut.
Pe poteca înfundată
Iarba deasă să ne-ascunză
S-ascultăm ca și-altădată
Freamătul duios de frunză.
Și privind cum de povară
Teiul floarea-ncepe-ați cerne
Să-nvățăm pe din afară
Cântul dragostei eterne.”Ion Minulescu, ”Ce faci tu?”
„În a cui viaţă oare n-a încolţit cândva, păstrată în cel mai adânc ungher al inimii, minunata taină a iubirii! Oricine ai fi, cititorule, dacă vei frunzări vreodată aceste pagini, recheamă-ţi în amintire acea vreme însorită, contemplă pentru a nu ştiu câta oară gingaşul chip al aceleia pe care însuşi duhul iubirii ţi-a scos-o în cale! Ai avut atunci credinţa că numai în ea îţi recunoşti fiinţa, esenţa ta cea mai înaltă. Îţi aminteşti susurul izvoarelor, foşnetul frunzişului, felul în care vântul mângâios de seară îţi vorbea despre ea şi despre iubirea voastră? Mai vezi oare cum te priveau florile cu ochii lor limpezi şi prietenoşi, aducându-ţi salutul şi sărutul ei?”
Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann
Black Pumas – ”More Than A Love Song”
”More Than a Love Song”
Melodie de: Black Pumas
Ah-oh
Oh oh
Ah yeah
You see the two black birds flying… flying high just to be together
When we face the music, it might help
You to the other side of a great divide
Fly together
Ask the grand master, why, ask him why, life feels so hard sometimes
You got the muse, the music, sweet soul music
To reignite your soul, to reignite your soul
Because life is more, more than a love song, it’s more than a fantasy
More than a little bit
This life is more than a dreamer, more than a fantasy
More than a little bit
Take your time, realize, and fly
I hear the two blue birds sing that song
Dee dee diddly yeah
My respects to the grand master for the lines such a pretty thing
How the melody divides abides
But life is more, more than love song
It’s more than a fantasy, more than a little bit
This life is more, more than a dream, more than fantasy
More than little bit
Because life is more, more than a love song
It’s more than a fantasy, more than a little bit
I’m through the door now, see the sun shining
More than a little bit
I’m through the door, we know life is more
More than pretty things or singing melodies
Oh life is more, way more, oh yeah, more
Why when the thunder sounds and
You see the lightning almost touch the ground
You hear a voice sometimes, my inner child sings
Fly together, fly together
But life feels so hard sometimes and you
Start to lose your mind, just grab your sister’s hand
Fly together
Black Pumas show them how
The bluesbirds, fly together
Fly together
Fly together
Fly together
Will help you sing a song and fly
Fly, touch that sky
Fly together
Fly together

The Veils – ”The Tide That Left And Never Came Back”
”The Tide That Left and Never Came Back”
Melodie de: The Veils
Sick from the city
It burns in my side
Ships are leaving
Shines so bright in the nightime
Though my memory’s fading
It’s you that I find
If only you could stay and,
Leave me behind
The tide that left and never came back
Is on my mind tonight
‘cause it’s a small town
It misses you my love
The tide that left and never came back
Is on my mind tonight
‘cause it’s a small town
It misses you my love
I fall into a hole
Those sad stories you write
Your voice is so pretty
And it gets caught in the right rhyme
Though my memory’s fading
It’s you I find
If only you could stay and,
Leave me behind
The tide that left and never came back
Is on my mind tonight
‘cause it’s a small town
It misses you my love
The tide that left and never came back
Is on my mind tonight
‘cause it’s a small town
It misses you my love
The tide that left and never came back
Is on my mind tonight
‘cause it’s a small town
It misses you my love
It’s a small town
It misses you my love
It’s a small death
It’s a broken town and,
It misses you my love

The Police – ”O My God”
”O My God”
Melodie de: The Police
Everyone I know is lonely
and God’s so far away,
And my heart belongs to no one
So now sometimes I pray
Please take the space between us
And fill it up some way
Take the space between us
and fill it up some way
O my God you take thecuit
Treating me this way
Expecting me to treat you well
No matter what you say
How can I turn the other cheek
It’s black and bruised and torn
I’ve been waiting
since the day that I was born
Take the space between us
and fill it up some way
Take the space between us
and fill it up some way
The fat man in his garden
The thin man at his gate
My God you must be sleeping
Wake up, it’s much too late
Take the space between us
and fill it up some way
Take the space between us
and fill it up some way
Do I have to tell the story
of a thousand rainy days
since we first met?
It’s a big enough umbrella
But it’s always me that ends up getting wet

Faithless – ”God is a DJ”
”God Is a DJ”
Melodie de: Faithless
This is my church
This is where I heal my hurts
It’s a natural grace
Of watching young life shape
It’s in minor keys
Solutions and remedies
Enemies becoming friends
When bitterness ends
This is my church
This is my church
This is my church
This is my church
This is where I heal my hurts
It’s in the world I become
Content in the hum
Between voice and drum
It’s in change
The poetic justice of cause and effect
Respect, love, compassion
This is my church
This is where I heal my hurts
For tonight
God is a DJ
For tonight
God is a DJ
This is my church

The Cranberries – ”Ode To My Family”
”Ode to My Family”
Melodie de: The Cranberries
Understand the things I say
Don’t turn away from me
‘Cause I spent half my life out there
You wouldn’t disagree
D’you see me?
D’you see?
Do you like me?
Do you like me standing there?
D’you notice?
D’you know?
Do you see me?
Do you see me?
Does anyone care?
Unhappiness
Where’s when I was young
And we didn’t give a damn
‘Cause we were raised
To see life as fun
And take it if we can
My mother
My mother she’d hold me
She’d hold me
When I was out there
My father
My father he liked me
Oh, he liked me
Does anyone care?
Understand what I’ve become
It wasn’t my design
And people everywhere think
Something better than I am
I miss you
I miss ‘cause I liked it
‘Cause I liked it
When I was out there
D’you know this?
D’you know?
You did not find me
You did not find
Does anyone care?
Unhappiness
Where’s when I was young
And we didn’t give a damn
‘Cause we were raised
To see life as fun
And take it if we can
My mother
My mother she’d hold me
She’d hold me
When I was out there
My father
My father he liked me
Oh, he liked me

Busted – ”Year 3000”
”Year 3000”
Melodie de: Busted
One day when I came home at lunchtime
I heard a funny noise
Went out to the backyard to find out
If it was one of those rowdy boys
Stood there was my neighbor called Peter
And a flux capacitor
He told me he built a time machine
Like the one in a film I’ve seen
Yeah, yeah
He said, „I’ve been to the year 3000
Not much has changed but they lived underwater
And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is pretty fine” (is pretty fine)
He took me to the future
In the flux thing and I saw everything
Boy bands and another one
And another one and another one
Triple breasted women swim around town totally naked
We drove around in a time machine
Like the one in a film I’ve seen
Yeah, yeah
He said, „I’ve been to the year 3000
Not much has changed but they lived underwater
And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is pretty fine” (is pretty fine)
I took a trip to the year 3000
This song had gone multi-platinum
Everybody bought our seventh album
It had outsold Michael Jackson
I took a trip to the year 3000
This song had gone multi-platinum
Everybody bought our seventh album
(Seventh album, seventh album)
He told me he built a time machine
Like the one in a film I’ve seen
Yeah, yeah
He said, „I’ve been to the year 3000
Not much has changed but they lived underwater
And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is pretty fine” (she’s pretty fine)
He said, „I’ve been to the year 3000” (3000)
„Not much has changed but they lived underwater
And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is pretty fine”
He said, „I’ve been to the year 3000
Not much has changed but they lived underwater
And your great-great-great-granddaughter
She’s pretty fine” (she’s pretty fine)
He said, „I’ve been to the year 3000” (I’ve been to the year 3000)
„Not much has changed but they lived underwater
And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is pretty fine”

How beautiful to be

Arctic Monkeys – ”Black Treacle”
”Black Treacle”
Melodie de: Arctic Monkeys
Lately I’ve been seeing things
Belly button piercings
In the sky at night
When we’re side by side
And I don’t mean to rain on anybody’s cabriolet
One of those games you’re gonna lose
But you wanna play it, just in case
Now it’s getting dark and the sky looks sticky
More like black treacle than tar
Black treacle
Somebody told the stars you’re not comin’ out tonight
And so they found a place to hide
Does it help you stay up late?
Does it help you concentrate?
Does it tune you in when you chew your chin?
Am I ruining your fun?
And you talk the talk alright
But do you walk the walk or catch the train?
You wanted it, you got it
But you don’t want it now
Now it’s getting dark and the sky looks sticky
More like black treacle than tar
Black treacle
Somebody told the stars you’re not comin’ out tonight
And so they found a place to hide
Now I’m out of place, and I’m not gettin’ any wiser
I feel like the Sundance Kid behind a synthesiser
And I tried last night to pack away your laugh
Like a key under the mat
But it never seems to be there when you want it
Black treacle
Black treacle
Black treacle

A-ha – ”Lie down in darkness”
”Lie Down In Darkness”
Melodie de: a-ha
All our goals and destinations
Everything must be this way
Vague are hopes that try our patience
Listen now to what I say
Oh, lie down in darkness
I want you next to me
Lie down in darkness
Here with me
With all our trials and tribulations
Will it ever make much sense?
All these years, they disappear
They leave me here without defense
Oh, lie down in darkness
I want you next to me
Oh, lie down in darkness
Here with me
Next to me, I want you next to me
Oh, lie down in darkness
I want you next to me
Oh, lie down in darkness
Here with me
Oh, lie down in darkness
I want you next to me
Lie down in darkness
Next to me
Lie down in darkness
Next to me
Well now, now, now, now, now
Lie next to me
Next to me

A Perfect Circle – ”The Nurse Who Loved Me”
”The Nurse Who Loved Me”
Melodie de: A Perfect Circle
Say hello to the rug’s topography
It holds quite a lot of interest with your face down on it
Say hello to the shrinking in your head
You can’t see it, but you know it’s there so don’t neglect it
I’m taking her home with me, all dressed in white
She’s got everything I need, pharmacy keys
She’s falling hard for me; I can see it in her eyes
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys
Say hello to all the apples on the ground
They were once in your eyes, but you sneezed them out while sleeping
Say hello to everything you’ve left behind
It’s even more a part of your life now that you can’t touch it
I’m taking her home with me, all dressed in white
She’s got everything I need, some pills in a little cup
She’s falling hard for me; I can see it in her eyes
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys
She’s got everything I need, pharmacy keys
She acts just like a nurse for all the other guys
Say hello to the rug’s topography

Octavian Paler – ”Mai târziu”
”Mai târziu, te sun.
Mai târziu, ne vedem.
Mai târziu, facem o plimbare.
Mai târziu îți spun ce simt.
Mai târziu vei știi ce însemni pentru mine.
Mai târziu poate te voi iubi, sau poate te voi uita.
Lăsăm totul pe mai târziu și uităm că ” mai târziu” nu este al nostru.
Că „mai târziu” oamenii s-ar putea să nu mai fie aici lângă noi.
Că „mai târziu” s-ar putea să nu ne mai auzim sau să nu ne mai pese.
Că „mai târziu” copiii nu mai sunt copii și părinții nu ne mai sunt decât amintire.
Că „mai târziu” ziua se transformă în noapte și puterea în neputință.
” Mai târziu” va fi prea târziu!
Fiți acum!”Octavian Paler
”Nu poţi iubi constrâns, dar oare poţi iubi din milă faţă de cineva? Ce faci, atunci când această milă este luată drept cea mai râvnită iubire? Te invit să citeşti simţurile, gândurile, visele, năzuinţele şi datoriile de pe marginile foilor de carte sufletească şi psihologică.”
Stefan Zweig
