”Cerul era înstelat. Din puzderia de luminițe care luceau, nu lipsea niciuna. Steaua Lisandrei căzuse fără să lase pe cer vreun semn, vreun gol, așa cum nici în aglomerația străzii nu se simțea lipsa unui om. Și totuși, în câte ascunzișuri de suflet și gând nu a rămas ca un ferment de dăruire, de generozitate, trecerea ei pe pământ!” Cella Serghi

„I Try” Melodie de: Macy Grey Games, changes, and fears When will they go from here? When will they stop? I believe that fate has brought us here And we should be together, babe, But we’re not I play it off, but I’m dreaming of you I’ll keep my cool, but I’m fiendin. I try to say goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it’s clear My world crumbles when you are not near Goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it’s clear My world crumbles when you are not near I may appear to be free, But I’m just a prisoner of your love I may seem alright and smile when you leave, But my smiles are just a front, just a front I play it off, […]
”Era un pustiu în mine, fără sfârșit; șuiera vântul, ardea soarele Saharei în mine, mă acoperea nisipul. Era urât și rău în mine, aș fi preferat să mor de o mie de ori ca să nu mai simt pustiul acela.” Gellu Naum, ”Zenobia”
”Cum de inima mea poate – cum mai poate, cum mai poate, repetă, pufăind din havană. Tânjind în singurătate, chinul vieții să-l îndure?” Virginia Woolf
”Există o întreagă gamă a melancoliei: începe prin surâs şi peisaj şi sfârşeşte în dangăt de clopot spart în suflet. De aici, gustul diferit al lacrimilor.” Emil Cioran

I’ve been wandering around the house all night wondering what the hell to do Yeah, I’m trying to concentrate, but all I can think of is you Well, the phone don’t ring, ‘cause my friends ain’t home I’m tired of being all alone Got the TV on ‘cause the radio’s playing songs that remind me of you Baby, when you’re gone, I realize I’m in love Days go on and on and the nights just seem so long Even food don’t taste that good Drink ain’t doing what it should Things just feel so wrong Baby, when you’re gone Yeah!

Sharon Redd Can you handle it, can you handle it Cause you ain’t had nothing like it Can you handle it, can you handle it Cause you ain’t had nothing like it Boy, just to feel my touch If you’re not prepared, it might be too much Now you don’t have to take my word Cause actions speak louder than words And I will be heard Can you handle it, can you handle it Cause you ain’t had nothing like it Can you handle it, can you handle it Cause you ain’t had nothing like it When it comes to love, I’m the best Do you really think you can pass my test Now here, your story’s not too high Don’t feel like, you’re letting me down, Cause all you can do is die Can you handle it, can you handle it […]
”- … ştii de ce-L iubesc încă pe Dumnezeu? – Pentru că e singur, ca mine… ca tine, a răspuns Mensur. Singur-singurel acolo sus pe undeva, fără un suflet cu care să vorbească – mă rog, poate câţiva îngeri, dar cât te poţi distra cu un heruvim? Bilioane de oameni se roagă la El: „O, Doamne, dă-mi reuşite, dă-mi bani, dă-mi un Ferrari, dă-mi aia, dă-mi aialaltă…„ Aceleaşi cuvinte iar şi iar, însă nimeni nu-şi prea dă osteneala să-L cunoască. – Gândeşte-te ce fac oamenii când văd un accident pe şosea. Spun imediat: „Doamne fereşte!„. Poţi să crezi aşa ceva? Prima lor reacţie e să se gândească la ei înşişi, nu la victime. Atâtea rugăciuni sunt copii la indigo ale altora. Apără-mă, iubeşte-mă, ajută-mă, toate ţipă eu, eu, eu… Şi mai numesc asta pietate; eu aş numi-o egoism deghizat.” Elif Shafak
”Atlantis” Melodie de: Donovan The continent of Atlantis was an island Which lay before the Great Flood In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean So great an area of land That from her western shores Those beautiful sailors journeyed To the South and the North Americas with ease In their ships with painted sails To the East, Africa was a neighbour Across a short strait of sea miles The great Egyptian age is but a remnant Of The Atlantian culture The antediluvian kings colonised the world All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas In all legends, from all lands, were from fair Atlantis Knowing her fate Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth On board were the Twelve The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist, the magician And the other so-called Gods of our legends Though Gods they were And as the […]
”Reverence” Melodie de: Faithless My name is Maxi Jazz and I ain’t no joke I make you choke on the mic when I go for broke When I come into a jam, I tear off my shirt I have no knowledge of fear, ‘cause I’m here to do work (to do work-) Kiss me neck Ah, ah (kiss me neck), ah, ah, ah, ah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (kiss me neck) Watch me ride Take my words and the bass Taste and then swallow me You’re chasing the devil, ‘cause you’re level if you follow me For quality, and I make no apology For linking my thinking with computer technology ‘Cause this is like a modern day hymn for the new church I search for the truth, I got a hole in my tooth I’m uncouth, yes sir, I’m from a street university Where we learn to earn […]
”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…” Michel Zevaco, ”Cavalerii Pardaillan”, vol. IX
„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 […]
”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 […]
”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 […]
”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 […]
”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 Whatcha gonna tell your brother? Oh, oh, oh!

”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 […]
”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”
