Et latet et lucet, Phaetontide condita gutta
Ut videatur apis nectare clausa suo.
Sic modo, quae fuerat vita contempta manente,
Funeribus facta est jam preciosa suis.
IN ENGLISH.
Both lurks and shines, hid in an amber tear,
The bee, in her own nectar prisoner;
So she, who in her life time was contemn'd,
Ev'n in her very funerals is gemm'd.

Preciosa
Yo se lo que son los encantos
de mi borinquen hermosa
por eso la quiero yo tanto
por siempre la llamare Preciosa
yo se de sus hembras triguenas
se del olor de sus rosas
por eso a mi tierra riquena
por siempre la llamare Preciosa

Isla del caribe
Borinquen
Preciosa te llaman las olas
del mar que te bana
Preciosa por ser un encanto
por ser un Eden
Y tienes la noble hidalguia
de la Madre Espana
y el fiero cantio del indio bravio
lo tienes tambien
[Coro:]
Preciosa te llaman los bardos
que cantan tu historia
No importa el tirano te trate
con negra maldad
Preciosa seras sin bandera
sin lauros

Life is nectar
Beginning is poison

Preciosa Y El Aire
Su luna de pergamino
Preciosa tocando viene
por un anfibio sendero
de cristales y laureles.
El silencio sin estrellas,
huyendo del sonsonete,
cae donde el mar bate y canta
su noche llena de peces.
En los picos de la sierra
los carabineros duermen
guardando las blancas torres
donde viven los ingleses.
Y los gitanos del agua
levantan por distraerse,
glorietas de caracolas
y ramas de pino verde.
Su luna de pergamino
Preciosa tocando viene.
Al verla se ha levantado
el viento que nunca duerme.
San Cristobalón desnudo,
lleno de lenguas celestes,
mira a la niña tocando
una dulce gaita ausente.
Niña, deja que levante
tu vestido para verte.
Abre en mi dedos antiguos
la rosa azul de tu vientre.
Preciosa tira el pandero
y corre sin detenerse.
El viento-hombrón la persigue
con una espada caliente.
Frunce su rumor el mar.
Los olivos palidecen.
Cantan las flautas de umbría
y el liso gong de la nieve.
¡Preciosa, corre, Preciosa,
que te coge el viento verde!
Preciosa, corre, Preciosa!
¡Míralo por donde viene!
Sátiro de estrellas bajas
con sus lenguas relucientes.
Preciosa, llena de miedo,
entra en la casa que tiene,
más arriba de los pinos,
el cónsul de los ingleses.
Asustados por los gritos
tres carabineros viene,
sus negras capas ceñidas
y los gorros en las sienes.
El inglés da a la gitana
un vaso de tibia leche,
y una copa de ginebra
que Preciosa no se bebe.
Y mientras cuenta, llorando
su aventura a aquella gente,
en las tejas de pizarra
el viento, furioso, muerde.

The shining. For Tara.
It shines.
It shines from the new-born baby;
shines in the magic of birth.
It shines in first love;
in lasting love.
It shines in laughter,
in tears of sadness,
in tears of joy.
It shines in wisdom,
shines in goodness,
shines as beauty.
It shines in the held breath
of the peace of dawn about to break;
it shines in the stillness
of the hour of sunset.
It shines as life.
There is no limit to its shining
except the denying of it
and even then,
it shines
Since you know it so well,
does it need a name?
A name perhaps, to praise?
Nameless, known to all,
beyond all praise,
it shines.

Vita Spericolata
Voglio una vita maleducata
di quelle vite fatte, fatte cos
voglio una vita che se ne frega
che se ne frega di tutto s
voglio una vita che non mai tardi
di quelle che non dormono mai
voglio una vita di quelle che non si sa mai.
E poi ci troveremo come le stars
a bere del whisky al Roxy bar
o forse non c'incontreremo mai
ognuno a rincorrere i suoi guai
ognuno col suo viaggio
ognuno diverso
e ognuno in fondo perso
dentro i fatti suoi!
Voglio una vita spericolata
voglio una vita come quelle dei film
voglio una vita esagerata
voglio una vita come Steve Mc Queen
voglio una vita che non mai tardi
di quelle che non dormi mai
voglio una vita, la voglio piena di guai!!!

Quand j'ai vu vos yeux pour la premiere fois,
J'etais perdu
Je suis venu a la Closerie Des Lilas tres souvent
On attend pour ces moments divins pour toute la vie
Mon coeur a ete prit par joie et mal
Quand je suis avec vous, je suis perdu
Just a few
Quand je suis amoureux, c'est la peur
Juste un peu
C'etait en octobre, il y a deux ans et c'etait la troisieme fois que je vous ai vu
J'ai pas eu le courage pour ces premiers mots impossibles
Et meme reflechir a ce probleme pour commencer une conversation etait un cliche
Quand je suis avec vous, je suis perdu
Just a few
Quand je suis amoureux, c'est la peur
Juste un peu
J'etais bien place au bar et camoufle derriere un livre tres important
Avec un sourire dans vos yeux vous m'avez demande : < Quel est le titre de
votre livre ? >
Et j'ai repondu apres une pause assez artificielle : < Je ne sais pas ! >
Quand je suis avec vous, je suis perdu
Just a few
Quand je suis amoureux, c'est la peur

Cose Della Vita/ Cant Stop Thinking Of You
Duet with eros ramazzotti
(e.ramazzotti/a.cogliati)(english lyrics: t.turner/j.ralston)
Producer: eros ramazzotti
Album: eros (eros ramazzotti)
Sono umane situazioni
Quei momenti fra di noi
I distacchi ed I ritorni
Da capirci niente poi
Gia come vedi
Sto pensando a te...si..da un po
Theyre just human contradictions
Feeling happy feeling sad
These emotional transitions
All the memories weve had
Yes, you know its true
I just cant stop thinking of you
No I just cant pretend
All the time we spent could die
Wanna feel it again
All the love we felt then
Confinanti di cuore solo che ognuno sta
Dietro gli steccati degli orgogli suoi
Sto pensando a te
Sto pensando a noi
Sono cose della vita
Vanno prese un po cosi
Some for worse and some for better
But through it all weve come so far
Gia... come vedi
Io sto ancora in piedi perche
Sono umani tutti I sogni miei
Con le mani io li prenderei, si perch
Whats life without a dream to hold? ?
Take my hand and never let me go
Its part of life together
But what future does it hold? ?
Sono cose della vita
Ma la vita poi dove
Yes, you know its true
I just cant stop thinking of you
Questa notte che passa piano accanto a me
Cerco di affrontarla, afferrarla
If our hearts miss a beat
Or get lost like a ship at sea
I wanna remember, I can never forget
Cant stop thinking of you
Sto pensando a noi
Cant stop thinking of you
Cant stop

L'Air De La Louisiane
Promenade dans un bois la vielle Louisiane
Les ombres lougnes nos pas silents
l'air de la Louisiane
Toi et moi ne parlant pas
en sucant d'la canne
Pour un instant je suis content en
l'air de la Louisiane
Pour un instant je suis content en
l'air de la Louisiane
English Lyric
A walk in the woods of old Louisiana
the shadows are long
Our steps are silent in the Louisiana air
You and I say nothing as we suck sugar cane
For one minute I'm happy in the Louisiana air

If Children Had Wings
Theres a love I hold dear
And it shines through each year
And it makes things seem different somehow
Its for better or worse
Its for people who thirst
For a love that burns brighter right now
And it shines on and on til all sadness is gone
And if children had wings I would sing them this song
With a smile on my face and a tear in my eye
Everything will be fine by and by
There were things that were said
There were things that were done
And a wife cannot stand too much pain
And what I thought was best
Couldnt please her much less
But my love still goes on, that dont change
And it shines on and on til all sadness is gone
And if children had wings I would sing them this song
With a smile on my lips and a tear in my eye
Everything will be fine by and by
And it shines on and on til all sadness is gone
And if children had wings I would sing them this song
With a smile on my face and a tear in my eye
Everything will be fine by and by
And it shines on and on til all sadness is gone
And if children had wings I would sing them this song
With a smile on my face and a tear in my eye
Everything will be fine by and by

Révolte
Je suis révolté,
Révolté contre toute forme de retraite anticipée,
Révolté contre l’inaptitude juvénile,
Je suis révolté contre toute forme de discrimination,
Révolté contre toute forme de racisme,
Je suis révolté,
Je n’ai pas de place dans la société,
Je suis révolté,
Ma jeunesse paraît vielle,
Encore jeune, je suis vigoureux,
Encore jeune, j’ai des projets,
Encore jeune, je veux avancer,
Encore jeune,
Je suis révolté contre toute forme de l’inactivité,
Le jeune, c’est la force,
Le jeune, c’est la détermination,
La jeune, c’est le pouvoir de percer,
Alors, je dois avancer,
Je dois percer,
Je dois y arriver,
Car c’est mon destin,
Je dits non à la paraisse,
Je dits non, au découragement,
Je ne regarde plus que mon devenir,
Je me retourne que vers mon avenir,
Mon ambition me guide,
J’apprends à devenir grande personne,
Ma jeunesse c’est mon temps,
Je dois en profiter,
Apprendre, lire, m’informer,
C’est mes habitudes,
Alors, je suis révolté de ne rien faire,
Je suis révolté qu’on me bloque le passage,
Je suis révolté de n’être pas intégré,
Révolté et encore révolté,

Beyond The Invisible
(michael cretu/david david fairstein)
.
I look into the mirror
See myself, Im over me
I need space for my desires
Have to dive into my fantasies
.
I know as soon as Ill arrive
Everything is possible
Cause no one has to hide
Beyond the invisible
.
Latvian chant
Sajaja bramani totari ta, raitata raitata, radu ridu raitata, rota
(translation
The brave and wise men came together on horse)
Close your eyes
Just feel and realize
It is real and not a dream
Im in you and youre in me
.
It is time
To break the chains of life
If you follow you will see
Whats beyond reality
.
Ne irascaris domine,
Ne ultra memineris iniquitatis:
Ecce civitas sancti facta est deserta:
Sion deserta facta est:
Ierusalem desolata est:
Domus sanctificationis tuae et gloriae tuae

A Song For Europe
(ferry/mackay)
Here as I sit
At this empty cafe
Thinking of you
I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That well never
Find again
Though the world
Is my oyster
Its only a shell
Full of memories
And here by the seine
Notre-dame casts
A long lonely shadow
Now - only sorrow
No tomorrow
Theres no today for us
Nothing is there
For us to share
But yesterday
These cities may change
But there always remains
My obsession
Through silken waters
My gondola glides
And the bridge - it sighs ...
I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That well never
Find again
Theres no more time for us
Nothing is there
For us to share
But yesterdays
Ecce momenta
Illa mirabilia
Quae captabit
In aeternum
Memor
Modo dolores
Sunt in dies
Non est reliquum
Vero tantum
Comminicamus
Perdita
Tous ces moments
Perdus dans l'enchantement
Qui ne reviendront
Jamais
Pas daujourdhui pour nous
Pour nous il ny a rien
A partager
Sauf le pass

Amber
A Prehistoric Dragon Fly
Encased in amber, on display
Caught my eye as I passed it by
in the museum yesterday.
Encased in amber, as if time
itself was stopped and held at bay.
You will never know decay
Or another summer's day.
You in amber, me in time
Both are trapped and on display.
You in resin are enshrined,
while I am seen encased in rhyme.
