Te Amar
Its late and youre driving beside me
The road seems to vanish ahead
Everythings melting around us
Our future lies sleeping in back
Some pass too quickly
Others stay behind
Im where I wanted all along to belong to you
Te Amare Te Amare Te Amare
Te Amare Te Amare Te Amare
Te Amare Te Amare Te Amare
That one thing wont change
The sky changes mood through my window
The moon disappears then returns
A storm tries to threaten our journey
Finally losing its nerve
Everything shifted along the highway
One thing is certain
I belong, all along toy ou
Ti Amare Ti Amare Ti Amare
Ti Amare Ti Amare Ti Amare
Ti Amare Ti Amare Ti Amare
That one thing wont change
Ti Amare Ti Amare Ti Amare
Ti Amare Ti Amare Ti Amare
Ti Amare Ti Amare Ti Amare
That one thing wont change

Per Amarti
Amare dire la cosa che
Tu non diresti mai
Amare camminare con lei
Per leternit
amare quando resto e penso
Dove sarai
Amare quando non capisci
Pi cosa fai
Amare quando la proteggi
Dalla pioggia dal vento
Amare tu labbracci
E dimentichi il tempo
Amare quando tu la pensi
E non riesci a mangiare
Amare quando lei ti racconta
E ti va di ascoltare
Per amarti ti verrei a cercare
Al confini del mare
Per amarti chiederei alla sera
Di poterti sfiorare
Per amarti legherei alla pioggia
Anche il fuoco...io
Per amarti ti dare la mia vita...
...solo per baciarti
Amare quando scrivi il suo nome
E ti trema la mano
Amare quando sogni soltanto
Di portarla lontano
Amare quando tu la vedi
E ritrovi I suoi occhi
Amare quando ti sorprendi
Di come la tocchi

Blot ved din Sang om det Verbum amare.

Te Amare
No quise lastimarte
no quise hacerte a ti llorar
te hice tanto dano
me arrepiento y quisiera cambiar
[Coro:]
Si por solo un minuto
tuviese el tiempo de los dos
si por solo un minuto
pudiera abrazarte otra vez
Te amare por siempre
te amare al fin de la luz
te amare por siempre
te amare por siempre
Perdona mis errores
perdona todo aquel dolor
si te tuviera ahora

Tanto So Che Poi Mi Passa
(alexander / mogol)
Italian language song set to the music of everyday I have to cry
Tanto so che poi mi passa
Tanto so che poi mi passa
E se voglio quindi posso
Posso amare chi mi va
I know it wont last
I know it wont last
And if I want to then I can
I can love who I want
Ammetto che cos? lui mi piace tanto
Forte com con gli occhi da bambino
Mi dite perch? io dopo un minuto
Son convinta che mi sono proprio innamorata
I admit I like him a lot thay way
Strong as he is with his little boys eyes
Tell me why after one minute
Im convinced Im really in love
Tanto so che poi mi passa
Tanto so che poi mi passa
E se volgio quindi posso
Posso amare chi mi va
I know it wont last
I know it wont last
And if I want to then I can
I can love who I want
Se balli insieme a me quasi non respiro
Se dici coshai sorrido un poco amoro
Sapate com a prendere fuoco
Posso dire che ci metto molto molto poco
If you dance with me I almost cant breathe
If you ask me whats wrong I give a slightly bitter smile
Dont you know what its like to go head-over-heels?
It doesnt take much at all with me
Tanto so che poi mi passa
Tanto so che poi mi passa
E se volgio quindi posso
Posso amare chi mi va
I know it wont last
I know it wont last
And if I want to then I can
I can love who I want
Se balli insieme a me quasi non respiro
Se dici coshai sorrido un poco amoro
Sapate com a prendere fuoco
Posso dire che ci metto molto molto poco
If you dance with me I almost cant breathe
If you ask me whats wrong I give a slightly bitter smile
Dont you know what its like to go head-over-heels?
It doesnt take much at all with me

Tanto so che poi mi passa
E se volgio quindi posso
Posso amare chi mi va
I know it wont last

And if I want to then I can

Posso amare chi mi va
Posso amare chi mi va
Posso amare chi mi va
I can love who I want

I can love who I want

Yo tengo un hombre que me trata como dama
Saberlo, es lo que me hace feliz
Por eso, y muchas cosas, voy contigo hasta el fin
Y dile al mundo ahora
Que tu eres mi rey, el que a mi me adora
El que pa' todas esta por mi
Al gato que le gusta cuando la canta la Ivy Queen
Y no me importa lo que el mundo diga
Si somos almas que se unen como rima
Chico peligroso, ven que yo te azoto
Y bailamos juntos con un ritmo tan sabroso
Quiero que me digas que tu eres para mi

Ut jam nec bene velle queam tibi, si optima sias:

AD LESBIAM, CAT. EP. 73.
Dicebas quondam, solum to nosse Catullum,
Lesbia, nec prae me velle tenere Jovem;
Dilexi tum te, non tantum ut vulgus amicam,
Sed pater ut gnatos diligit et generos.
Nunc te cognovi, quare et impensius uror,
Multo mi tamen es vilior et levior.
Qui potis est inquis, quod amantem injuria talis
Cogat amare magis, sed bene velle minus?
Odi et amo; quare id faciam, fortasse requiris;
Nescio; sed fieri sentio, et excrucior.
ENGLISHED.
That me alone you lov'd, you once did say,
Nor should I to the king of gods give way.
Then I lov'd thee not as a common dear,
But as a father doth his children chear.
Now thee I know, more bitterly I smart;
Yet thou to me more light and cheaper art.
What pow'r is this? that such a wrong should press
Me to love more, yet wish thee well much lesse.
I hate and love; would'st thou the reason know?
I know not; but I burn, and feel it so.

Io metterò il tuo corpo alla terra
Fiumi e verdi,
Si può poggiare a terra intorno al accogliente, romantico
Non ho madre per dare loro il vostro corpo
Loro di crescere frutta verde
Si può salire al Rock Sand
Hanno bellezza.
Il tuo sangue a fiumi e verdi
Dessi il mio corpo a terra per farli
Amo mia madre
Mi hai insegnato ad amare gli alberi intorno a loro verde
La bellezza di questa terra, voglio baciare ogni fessura e crack
Voglio toccare il corpo della terra si è

Madre Terra, dove è possibile rilassarsi nel campo
E i frutti magri e dà la vita per l'uomo
Che amo, e avere il tempo di camminare da solo
Riposa in pace, mamma

Il Portone
Parlo nello spazio attraverso le mie mani
A un portone chiuso con maniglie di diamante
Dove i tuoi occhi sono le chiavi per entrare.
Dove giaciono giardini, paradisi di questa vita.
Nel tempo che adorna la mia anima
La felicita di nuovi paradisi dietro quell portone giace.
Nei tuoi lunghi viaggi, mentre di guardi riflessa nei miei occhi
Il tuo cuore, immagina chi ti scrive e ama.
Di chi ti pensa, e soffre mentre i tuoi occhi, mi baciano.
Si also e si avvicino lentamente
I suoi occhi immersi, mi affogarono,
Sfiorandondo le mie labbra.
Come una dea dei sogni,
Scesa dal cielo trabbocando nel mio cuore
Strano silenzio, mura che rinchono torri al centro del mio cuore
Ascolta quest echo, di un sogno che cade,
In un fossato di grida, di sforzi che piangono lacrime di quel silenzio
Oltre i miei pensieri voglio entrare, cosi che tu mi possa realmente amare
Un unico pensiero passava, attraverso le sfessure nella tua bocca sicura
Che bacio la mia anima, per un infinito instante
Volevo, restare tra le tue braccia annegare in quella fossato
in quell sogno, che per instante quell portone ha aperto.

Farewell My Love (Te digo adios)
This was a farewell poem that the poet persona gave to the one he once loved and would never see again.
Farewell, farewell my love,
but in my heart I hide this sorrow,
for the love that remains unborn,
but not yet lost.
At His shrine I said a prayer,
in the temple of the nascent sun
to flood your sweet mind
with the ambrosia of endless bliss,
and suffuse your pure heart
for eternity...
Farewell, farewell my love,
(and I'm hiding my tears) ,
but a river runs within
with deep longing,
'cause my heart and mind,
leaves with you in this song,
of sour-sweet melodies,
which never lost will be,
'cause will come the day
that I'll be yours for ever.
Farewell, farewell, in hope,
that it won't be the last,
that you'll soon be back,
that finally your passionate love,
like mine, will be as such,
and never ceases to be alive,
in the deepest core of my being,
and there always will remain,
and never forget what means to love.
Farewell... should we say the last adieu,
'cause if here my life would end,
your love's memory I will retain,
what wasn't but could have been.
I love you and I always will,
and within my mind a sweet song,
I'll sing with heavenly joy,
to fill your heart with divine glee,
to remember my love, to remember me.
(August 1,2009)
Te digo adiós con todo mi amor,
pero en mi corazón oculto el dolor,
por este amor que no ha nacido,
pero que aun no lo siento perdido.
Y ante Su altar eleve una oración,
En el templo del sol naciente,
Para que se colme tu dulce mente
del néctar de eterna felicidad,
que colme tu corazón hermoso
por toda una eternidad.
Te digo adiós amor mío,
sin mostrarte mis lagrimas,
pero por dentro corre un rió,
de profundas añoranzas,
Porque mi mente, mi corazón,
se va contigo en esta canción,
de dulces y tristes melodías,
que nunca estarán perdidas,
por que se que llegara un día,
en que seré tuyo por toda la vida.
Te digo adiós con la esperanza,
de que este no sea un ultimo adiós,
para que vuelvas a mi vida,
y que un día me ames con ardor,
pues mi amor, si, es un loco amor,
que nunca cesa de palpitar,
en lo mas intimo de mi ser,
y allí siempre ha de permanecer,
y nunca me olvidare de lo que es amar.
Te digo adiós, y si fuese un ultimo adiós,
Porque si ya mi vida se acabara,
Al menos guardo el recuerdo de tu amor,
de lo que pudo haber sido y no fue,
porque te amo y siempre te amare,
y en mi mente esta dulce canción,
desde mi luz divina te la cantare,
para que llene de dicha tu corazón,
y te acuerdes de mi y de mi dulce amor.

Vanity of Vanities
A Song of Emptiness
To Fill up the Empty Pages Following
Vain, frail, short liv'd, and miserable Man,
Learn what thou art when thine estate is best:
A restless Wave o'th' troubled Ocean,
A Dream, a lifeless Picture finely drest:
A Wind, a Flower, a Vapour, and a Bubble,
A Wheel that stands not still, a trembling Reed,
A rolling Stone, dry Dust, light Chaff, and Stubble,
A Shadow of Something, but nought indeed.
Learn what deceitful Toyes, and empty things,
This World, and all its best Enjoyments bee:
Out of the Earth no true Contentment springs,
But all things here are vexing Vanitee.
For what is Beauty, but a fading Flower?
Or what is Pleasure, but the Devils bait,
Whereby he catcheth whom he would devour,
And multitudes of Souls doth ruinate?
And what are Friends but moral men, as we?
Whom Death from us may quickly separate;
Or else their hearts may quite estranged be,
And all their love be turned into hate.
And what are Riches to be doted on?
Uncertain, fickle, and ensnaring things;
They draw Mens Souls into Perdition,
And when most needed, take them to their wings.
Ah foolish Man! that sets his heart upon
Such empty Shadows, such wild Fowl as these,
That being gotten will be quickly gone,
And whilst they stay increase but his desease.
As in a Dropsie, drinking draughts begets,
The more he drinks, the more he still requires:
So on this World whoso affection sets,
His Wealths encrease encreaseth his desires.
O happy Man, whose portion is above,
Where Floods, where Flames, where Foes cannot bereave him,
Most wretched man, that fixed hath his love
Upon this World, that surely will deceive him!
For, what is Honour? What is Sov'raignty,
Whereto mens hearts so restlesly aspire?
Whom have they Crowned with Felicity?
When did they ever satisfie desire?
The Ear of Man with hearing is not fill'd:
To see new sights still coveteth the Eye:
The craving Stomack though it may be still'd,
Yet craves again without a new supply.
All Earthly things, man's Cravings answer not,
Whose little heart would all the World contain,
(If all the World should fall to one man's Lot)
And notwithstanding empty still remain.
The Eastern Conquerour was said to weep,
When he the Indian Ocean did view,
To see his Conquest bounded by the Deep,
And no more Worlds remaining to subdue.
Who would that man in his Enjoyments bless,
Or envy him, or covet his estate,
Whose gettings do augment his greediness,
And make his wishes more intemperate?
Such is the wonted and the common guise
Of those on Earth that bear the greatest Sway:
If with a few the case be otherwise
They seek a Kingdom that abides for ay.
Moreover they, of all the Sons of men,
That Rule, and are in highest places set,
Are most inclin'd to scorn their Bretheren
And God himself (without great grace) forget.
For as the Sun doth blind the gazer's eyes,
That for a time they nought discern aright:
So Honour doth befool and blind the Wise,
And their own Lustre 'reaves them of their sight.
Great are their Dangers, manifold their Cares;
Thro which, whilst others Sleep, they scarcely Nap
And yet are oft surprized unawares,
And fall unwitting into Envies Trap!
The mean Mechanick finds his kindly rest,
All void of fear Sleepeth the Country-Clown,
When greatest Princes often are distrest,
And cannot Sleep upon their Beds of Down.
Could Strength or Valour men Immortalize,
Could Wealth or Honour keep them from decay,
There were some cause the same to Idolize,
And give the lye to that which I do say.
But neither can such things themselves endure
Without the hazard of a Change one hour,
Nor such as trust in them can they secure
From dismal dayes, or Deaths prevailing pow'r.
If Beauty could the beautiful defend
From Death's dominion, then fair Absalom
Had not been brought to such a shameful end:
But fair and foul unto the Grave must come.
If Wealth or Scepters could Immortal make,
Then wealthy Croesus, wherefore are thou dead?
If Warlike force, which makes the World to quake,
Then why is Julius Caesar perished?
Where are the Scipio's Thunder-bolts of War?
Renowned Pompey, Caesars Enemie?
Stout Hannibal, Romes Terror known so far?
Great Alexander, what's become of thee?
If Gifts and Bribes Death's favour might but win,
If Power, if force, or Threatnings might it fray,
All these, and more, had still surviving been:
But all are gone, for Death will have no Nay.
Such is this World with all her Pomp and Glory,
Such are the men whom worldly eyes admire:
Cut down by Time, and now become a Story,
That we might after better things aspire.
Go boast thy self of what thy heart enjoyes,
Vain Man! triumph in all thy worldly Bliss:
Thy best enjoyments are but Trash and Toyes:
Delight thy self in that which worthless is.
Omnia Praetereunt praeter amare Deum.

Rime-Djævelen
Før jeg med Blæk Papiret vil bemale,
En lille Tale:
Troer, Læser, Du paa Aander, eller ei?
— „Nei!!!" -
Det klang lidt negativt, dog lad saa være,
Hør videre, og svar mig saa, min Kjære!
— Naar Du har Ærter spiist, saa mange som Du vil,
Tør Du da nægte, der er Ærter til?
Naar i Din egen Krop en Aand logerer,
Den existerer.
Hver Adams Søn en saadan føle vil,
Og altsaa, seer man, der er Aander til;
Er mit Beviis Dig ikke klart, min Kjære,
Læs Swedenborg — dog, lad det heller være! -
— De fleste Aander, som paa Jord har hjemme,
Er slemme;
Blandt Andet opfandt deres Præ-Genie
Tallotterie;
Snørliv for Damer og for Officerer,
Som fælt generer.
En saadan Djævel eller lille Nisse
Tilvisse
Var Slangen som, paa Fransk, i Paradiis
Til Eva sagde: „spiis Madamme, spiis!"
— Dog lad mig ei forvidt fra Texten springe,
Men paa Papiret mine Qvaler bringe
Med Pennen af den dræbte Gaases Vinge.
— Orest, forfulgt af Helvedes Chariter
Og Aphroditer,
Selv Don Juan i Flammer
Er Børne-Leeg mod min ukjendte Jammer;
Thi viid, saalangt min Tanke naaer tilbage,
Ak! alle Dage
Seer jeg en lille Djævel mig ledsage;
Han lever i mig, om mig, allevegne,
Dog kan jeg ei hans Skikkelse betegne,
Skjøndt vaagen og i Drømme, hver en Time
Han gjør at jeg maa — rime.
Ved Dødsfald tidt,
Jeg seer han ogsaa plager Andre lidt,
Hvorfor om Aaret
Han har sit Visse paa Aviscontoiret,
Men skjøndt af mig han aldrig noget fik,
Holdt han dog Stik.
— I Skolen selv, ved Typto og Amare,
Jeg følte ham i mine Lemmer fare,
Selv ved Examen — disse Farens Dage -
Han turde plage,
Skjøndt midt om Natten Badens Grammatik
Mig skræmmed med sit Robespierre-Blik.
Liig hiin — — (ja Navnet har jeg glemt
Og det er slemt,
Men i Horatses Breve kan det findes,
Saavidt jeg mindes),
Der hvad han rørte, Klæder, Vand og Muld,
Forvandlede til Guld,
Saa gaaer det mig: hvorhen jeg end mig vender,
Med Vers det ender;
Derfor man skjænder,
Og raaber til mig vredt, i hver en Time:
„Lad vær' at rime!"
Ja Herre Gud! just det jeg vilde gjerne,
Men jeg er født ved en usalig Stjerne.
Bedrøvet,
Naar dit og dat er røvet,
Jeg skrive maa en Elegie med Jamber,
Og er jeg glad — det bliver Dithyramber.
O, hvis jeg dog min Djævel undflye kunde!
Men selv ei Døden vil han mig forunde:
Nys vilde jeg i Peblingsøen blunde,
Smukt paa Papiret stod min Svane-Sang;
Og alt jeg satte Fødderne i Gang,
Men som jeg nu, i Afstand, øiner Vandet,
Min Djævel sender mig en Ven fra Landet.
Der blev nu talt om — Ingenting, med Mere;
Ei vil jeg repetere
Den lange Snak, da der var Intet i,
Tilsidst kom Talen hen paa Poesie,
Da følte jeg en dyb, veemodig Længsel,
At tage frem min Sang af Lommens Fængsel,
Og læse ham min Afskeds-Elegie,
Mens Folk paa Veien gik os taust forbi,
Thi ærligt talt — for ei at sige Mere,
Jeg har den Feil med flere,
Og sikkerligt, den fra min Djævel kommer,
Har jeg et Vers i een af mine Lommer,
Da vee hver Ven, der kommer mig for Øie,
Han maa det døie! -
Saa gik det her — ja knap var Verset endt,
Før Tankerne var' bort fra Peblingsøen vendt;
Jeg følte det saa sødt i denne Time,
At kunne rime.
Men nu forleden
Kom jeg igjen i Heden,
Da stod mig Runde-Taarn som Trøstens Kjæmpe,
Der kunde mig min Rime-Djævel dæmpe;
Jeg foer forbi smaa Huse og Pauluner,
Saae ei til Livets brogede Kattuner,
Uldstrømper, Sokker, Shawler, røde Baand,
Der hang paa høire, som paa venstre Haand;
Ei Reitzels Bogskab paa den brune Muur,
Thi Gaden var mig som et Fangebuur;
Nu følte jeg mig kold, nu atter varm,
Som jeg steeg op i Taarnets Snirkel-Tarm;
Men da jeg nu var kommen i det Høie,
Med Graad i Øie,
Hvo dadler da, om før det store Spring
Jeg følte Lyst, at see mig lidt omkring?
— De brune Tage smiilte mig imøde
I Aftenrøde,
Og hist
En Skrædder sad og sang paa Husets Qvist,
Og mens han syede paa Næstens Trøie,
Steeg Sang og Skorsteens-Røg imod det Høie;
Paa Søen Skibe fløi i hvide Frakker,
Og hist jeg skued' Sveas gule Bakker.
Paa Ære
Jeg maatte være
Lidt mindre følsom end en Kampesteen,
Hvis ikke Følelserne, hver og een
Var blevet
Rørt ved hvad nys jeg daarligt har beskrevet.
Jeg stirrede, jeg skrev, jeg stirred' om igjen
Paa Tage, Skrædder og paa Himmelen;
Vognlarmen bruste gjennem Byens Gader
Med lange catalaniske Roulader;
Snart paa Papiret jeg en Ode saae,
Hvoraf endnu jeg Intet kan forstaae.
Jeg skrev og skrev — jeg hørte Sphærer klinge,
Men glemte reent at springe.
Saa gik det da, saa vil det altid gaae,
En Rime-Djævel sagtens seire maa;
Ja voxte der paa Marken Hat og Frakke,
Var Morgenrøden noget Spiseligt,
Jeg lod den hele, vide Verden snakke;
Men sligt
Et Eldorado ei man finder.
Dog muligt alt man paa mit Liiglagn spinder,
Det sidste Bret til Kisten færdigt staaer;
Gid da, naar Laaget over mig man slaaer,
Det blive maa med denne Indskrift siret;
„Han intet Ondt bedrev, kun klakkede Papiret."

Tele Hes Not Talking
Tele hes the one he knows what to say
Knows how to find his own way
He knows the roads by night and by doorways
But watching the light in a hall
Wont change a thing or say at all
What it is that he says
Still he says that I dont know
Still he says that I dont know
I dont why I think about so much
When I dont know what it is I cant say
And I wouldnt change a thing if I believe you all
And scream it in your face
Still Id say hey I dont know
Still Id say hey I dont know
Tele deals the cards and draws an ace
And finds himself miles away
Where skies aint bruised by towers and fumes
Children aint too young to play
Would I change a thing
Id change it all
But were born different days
Still Id say hey I dont know
Still Id say hey I dont know
(repeat chorus)
Would I change a thing
Id change it all when Im miles away
Would I change a thing
Id change it all but we were born on different days
Id change a thing
Id change it all when Im miles away...

Mind
Time wont change you
Money wont change you
I havent got the faintest idea
Everything seems to be up in the air at this time
I need something you change your mind
Drugs wont change you
Religion wont change you
Science wont change you
Looks like I cant change you
I try to talk to you, to make things clear
But youre not even listening to me...
And it comes directly from my heart to you...
I need something to change your mind.

I Got A Name
Like the pine trees linin the windin road
Ive got a name, Ive got a name
Like the singin bird and the croakin toad
Ive got a name, Ive got a name
And I carry it with me like my daddy did
But Im livin the dream that he kept hid
Movin me down the highway
Rollin me down the highway
Movin ahead so life wont pass me by
Like the north wind whistlin down the sky
Ive got a song, Ive got a song
Like the whippoorwill and the babys cry
Ive got a song, Ive got a song
And I carry it with me and I sing it loud
If it gets me nowhere, Ill go there proud
Movin me down the highway
Rollin me down the highway
Movin ahead so life wont pass me by
And Im gonna go there free
Like the fool I am and Ill always be
Ive got a dream, Ive got a dream
They can change their minds but they cant change me
Ive got a dream, Ive got a dream
Oh, I know I could share it if you want me to
If youre going my way, Ill go with you
Movin me down the highway
Rollin me down the highway
Movin ahead so life wont pass me by

Dont Change
Dont change
Im standing here on the ground
The sky above wont fall down
See no evil, in all direction
Resolution of happiness
Things have been dark for too long
Dont change for you
Dont change a thing
For me
Dont change for you
Dont change a thing
For me
Im found in love I had lost
It had been gone for too long
Hear no evil, in all directions
Execution of bitterness
Message received loud and clear
Dont change for you
Dont change a thing
For me
Dont change for you
Dont change a thing
For me
Im standing here on the ground
The sky above wont fall down
See no evil, in all directions
Resolution of happiness
Things have been dark for too long
Dont change for you
Dont change a thing
For me
Dont change for you
Dont change a thing
For me
Dont change
Dont change, yeah, yeah
