Fidelity - Regina Spektor (2006)

Regina Spektor (Регина Спектор) is a Russian-born American singer-songwriter and pianist. Her music is associated with the anti-folk scene centered on New York City's East Village. This song "Fidelity" is the new single from Regina's album "Begin To Hope". I think she looks lovely in this video, and I really like this video, I think that Marc Webb has done a great job.

(Shake it up)

I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind all this music

And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart

And suppose I never ever met you
Suppose we never fell in love
Suppose I never ever let you kiss me so sweet and so soft
Suppose I never ever saw you
Suppose we never ever called
Suppose I kept on singing love songs just to break my own fall
Just to break my fall
Just to break my fall
Just to break my fall
Break my fall
Break my fall

All my friends say that of course its gonna get better
Gonna get better
Better better better better
Better better better

I never love nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost
In the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind
All this music
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart
Breaks my
Heart
Breaks my heart


I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind
All this music
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart
Breaks my
Heart
Breaks my heart
and it breaks my heart
it breaks my heart
and it breaks my heart
and it breaks my heart

Shame - Monrose (2006)

Monrose is a new German girl-band, formed in 2006 by the winners or the German version of television show Popstars. The band consists of Mandy Capristo, Senna Gammour, and Bahar Kizil and this is their first video single "Shame".

Shame
Our final conversation
It lies heavy on the mind
And although we couldn’t say it
I think we know, we can’t go back this time

Though love and desperation
Is the writing on the wall?
And although we couldn’t say it
I think we know, we can’t go back this time

It’s such a shame, it’s such a shame (Ahhhh)
Don’t walk away, don’t walk away (Ahhhh)
All this time I thought I knew myself
But once again, I bury my head in shame.

Nothing lasts forever
A flower always dies
I never fed the beauty
Why can’t I see through other people’s eyes?

It’s such a shame, it’s such a shame (Ahhhh)
Don’t walk away, don’t walk away (Ahhhh)
All this time I thought I knew myself
But once again, I bury my head in shame.

I’ve paid the price for all my sins
And when love ends new life begins
My independence always nails me to the floor
And it leaves me wanting more, leaves me wanting more

I got everything a girl could ever need
So why do I still feel like my life’s so incomplete
You made me beautiful, brought me to my knees

So please don’t go don’t take the missing piece

It’s such a shame, it’s such a shame (Ahhhh)
Don’t walk away, don’t walk away (Ahhhh)
All this time I thought I knew myself
But once again, I bury my head in shame.

Chorus again...

In Shame, Shame, Shame...

Sola - Diana Navarro (2005)

Wonderful Diana Navarro. Her music is a mixture of traditional spanish music: copla and flamenco with moders sounds like pop and new age.

El amor tiene una barca
el amor tiene una barca
que me lleva hasta el dolor

sola con mi pena
sola, triste y sola
sola con mi pena
con mi pena sola

sola
sola con mi pena
sola triste y sola
sola en mi amargura
sola triste y sola
sola, sola, sola

pena y melancolia
que vive en mi habitacion
sola única amiga mia

sola
sola con mi pena
sola, triste y sola
sola con mi pena
con mi pena sola

sola con mi pena
sola triste y sola
sola en mi amargura
sola triste y sola
sola, sola, sola

Sunny road - Emiliana Torrini (2005)

One of my favourite Icelandic singers Emiliana Torrini. This is a really sweet song, far away from the electronic music of her beginnings.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyuL1z2tejs

Wrote you this
I hope you got it safe
It's been so long
I don't know what to say
I've travelled 'round
Through deserts on my horse
But jokes aside
I wanna come back home
You know that night
I said I had to go
You said you'd meet me
On the sunny road

It's time, meet me on the sunny road
it's time, meet me on the sunny road

I never married
Never had those kids
I loved too many
Now heaven's closed its gates.
I know I'm bad
To jump on you like this
Some things don't change
My middle name's still 'Risk'
I know that night
So long long time ago
Will you still meet me
On the sunny road

It's time, meet me on the sunny road
It's time, meet me on the sunny road

Well, this is it
I'm running out of space
Here is my address
And number just in case.
This time as one
We'll find which way to go
Now come and meet me
On the sunny road

Mother Earth - Within Temptation (2003)

Within Temptation is a Dutch band between gothic and symphonic metal. This song is the one who gives name to their album "Mother Earth". This video reminds me a lot a film called "Lady Halcon"

Birds and butterflies
Rivers and mountains she creates
But you'll never know
The next move she'll make
You can try
But it is useless to ask why
Cannot control her
She goes her own way
She rules until the end of time
She gives and she takes
She rules until the end of time
She goes her own way
With every breath
And all the choices that we make
We are only passing through on her way
I find my strength
Believing that your soul lives on
Until the end of time
I'll carry it with me
Once you will know my dear
You don't have to fear
A new beginning always starts at the end
Until the end of time
She goes her own way

Temptation - Arash ft Rebecca (2005)

Arash Labaf is an Iranian-Swedish singer, dancer and entertainer and producer residing in Malmö, Sweden.

This song was released in 2005 and as far as I know there are three different versions that I share here. First one was only in Farsi, then this one with Rebecca Zadig, who is a Swedish singer of Mexican descent. And finally another one in Russian.

Vino pentru totdeauna - Iris (2006)

I was looking from something different to share today and I found this. A Romanian rock song from the group Iris. This is a love song from their album "Iris Maxima" and the title "Vino pentru totdeauna" means "Come back for always". 29 year of activity!!! I'm impressed.



Link to this video in YouTube:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRIS_(Romanian_band)

Spune-mi daca, am gresit ceva,
Spune-mi daca te-am pierdut candva,
Nu mai stiu cum sa te caut,
Sa ma-ntorc din nou la locul unde
Mi-am gasit iubita mea

Spune-mi oare ce mai sti de noi?
Spune-mi oare suntem amandoi?
Doar o ploaie-n miez de vara care vine si s-a dus
Sub un cer albastru care, ne va duce tot mai sus

Refren:
Vino iar dar pentru totdeauna
Eu stiu e greu,
Sa iubesti cum iubesc eu
Doar asa vom fi mereu

Da iubito sti ca m-ai ranit
Da iubito sti ca m-ai lovit
Chiar in inima si doare
Ca si gandul c-ai plecat
Dar iubirea mea nu moare
Doar asa ne este dat

Refren:
Vino iar dar pentru totdeauna
Eu stiu e greu,
Sa iubesti cum iubesc eu
Doar asa vom fi mereu (bïs X3)

Face à la mer - Passi et Calogero (2004)

Another great combination: French singer Calogero and French rapper Passi. I think it was one of the first songs I heard of Calogero.



Link to this video in YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myLKSESRS30

Passi:
On ne choisit ni son origine,
ni sa couleur de peau
comme on rêve d'une vie de château
Quand on vit le ghetto
naître l'étau autour du cou comme Cosette pour Hugo
naître en treillis dans le conflit
et prier le très haut.

Fils du C.O.N.G.O
cette haine j'ai au M.I.C.R.O j'ai l' poids des mots.
sortir d'en bas,
rêver de déchirer ce tableau fait d'armes, de larmes,
fait de sang et de sanglots.

Calogero:
Face à la mer
J'aurais dû grandir
Face contre terre
J'aurais pu mourir
Je me relève
Je prends mon dernier rêve.

Passi:
Tous les deux de la même dalle.
Et tous les deux déçus.

Calogero:
Je prends mon dernier rêve

Passi:
C'est la sécheresse sur une terre où l'on n' cesse de semer tristesse
dans les yeux qui n' peuvent pleurer j'ai beaucoup de rêves lointains.
j' me suis tant rebellé, j'ai bu beaucoup de baratin et ça m'a trop saoulé.
Dans la vie y a des tapes au fond et des tapes à côté, des t'as pas un euro
ou la tape à l'arrachée, y a l'Etat, les RMmistes, les " t'as qu'à taffer. "
Si t'es en bas faut cravacher, t'as qu'à pas lâcher.
T'as pas connu ça toi, l'envie d'empocher les patates,
être à gauche droite face à la mer loin des galères.
T'as pas connu ça, l'envie de d' t'en sortir distribuer des patates des
gauches droites avec un air patibulaire

Calogero:
Face à la mer
J'aurais dû grandir
Face contre terre
J'aurais pu mourir
Je me relève
Je prends mon dernier rêve.

Passi:
Tous deux de la même dalle
Et tous deux déçus

Calogero:
Je prends mon dernier rêve
Face à la mer
C'est toi qui résistes
Face contre terre
Ton nom sur la liste
de tout ton être
Cité à comparaître

Passi:
c'est l'histoire de cette plume qui s'étouffe dans le goudron, cette matière
grise dont le pays n'a pas fait acquisition, on se relève, on repart à fond,
on vise le Panthéon, j'en place une à ceux qui en ont, je l'ai comme mes
potes l'ont. On veut toucher le ciel étoilé sans baisser l' pantalon. Trop
peu bonnes fées et trop de Cendrillon. Calo-Passi 2004 action.

Je prends mon dernier rêve.
Je me relève
Je prends mon dernier rêve.

Passi:
Tous deux de la même dalle
Et tous deux déçus

Calogero:
Je prends mon dernier rêve.

Passi:
Tous deux de la même dalle
Et tous deux déçus

Calogero:
Je prends mon dernier rêve.

Passi:
On ne choisit ni son origine, ni sa couleur de peau
comme on rêve d'une vie de château
Quand on vit le ghetto
naître l'étau autour du cou comme Cosette pour Hugo
naître en treillis dans le conflit et prier le très haut.
Fils du C.O.N.G.O cette haine j'ai au M.I.C.R.O j'ai l'poids des mots.
sortir d'en bas, rêver de déchirer ce tableau fait d'armes, de larmes,
fait de sang et de sanglots.
Face à la mer
On veut tous grandir
Calo-Passi trop jeunes pour mourir

Torn - Natalie Imbruglia (1997)

I love simple things and this song of Australian Natalie Imbruglia is just wonderful.



Link to this video in YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de_f5VU7m8k

I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm
He came around
And he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry

Well you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know
Or seem to care
What your heart is for
I don't know him anymore

There's nothin' where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothings right
I'm torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn

So I guess the fortune tellers right
I should have seen just what was there and not some holy light
But you crawled beneath my veins
And now, I don't care
I have no luck
I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things
That I can't touch
I'm torn

There's nothin' he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's right
I'm torn
Chorus

Tomodachi No Uta - Ataru Nakamura (2006)

One of the most viewed videos in YouTube today by the japanese artist Ataru Nakamura. I didn't know a lot about this artist but I have read in some japanese blogs that she have the heart of a women in the body of a men. But she didn't look actually as a men. This song was composed at the age of 15, and is about a person whom she loved but couldn't (or wouldn't) love her back. Translated means something like this:

I wanna touch your hand if I can
I wanna walk with you side by side if I can
But maybe I won't be able to do it
For me it's very lucky to be able to see you now
I want you to be my friend
For me you're just a friend

No creo - Shakira (2000)

Beautiful, lovely Shakira, in MTV Unplugged. I really prefer the lyrics and songs she did a few years ago, like this one.

Here a link to the original video of this song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JEC6ZnHZV0

Solo tu sabes bien quien soy
y por eso es tuyo mi corazón
solo tu doblas mi razón
y por eso a donde tu quieras voy

No creo que el mar algún día
pierda el sabor a sal
no creo en mi todavía
no creo en el azar

solo creo en tu sonrisa azul y en tu
mirada de cristal
y en los besos que me das
y en todo lo que digas

solo tu sabes bien quien soy
y por eso es tuyo mi corazón
solo tu doblas mi razón
y por eso a donde tu quieras voy
si hablo demasiado no dejes de lado
que nadie mas te amara así
como lo hago yo

no creo en venus ni en Marte
no creo en Carlos Marx
no creo en Jean Paul Sartre
no creo en Brian Weiss

solo creo en tu sonrisa azul

en tu mirada de cristal
en los besos que me das
y hablen lo que hablen

(coro)

yo quiero ser tu firmamento
de tu boca una canción
de tus alas siempre ser el viento

tu terrón de sal
un rayo de sol
que a donde digas que tu
quieres que yo vaya voy
eres mi desliz, mi país feliz
mi primavera
mi escalera al cielo si
por eso sigo aquí y camino contigo
y nunca podría decirte que no.

City of blinding lights - U2 (2005)

Time goes by and Irish band U2 never stops to make good songs. "How to dismantle an atomic bomb" from 2004, they include some of their best singles, between them, this one, City of blinding lights.

The more you see the less you know
The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then than I do now

Neon heart day-glow eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They're advertising in the skies
For people like us

And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground

Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

Don't look before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs purple irises
The camera can't see

I've seen you walk unafraid
I've seen you in the clothes you made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?

(cut)

And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground

Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

Time...time...time...time...time
Won't leave me as I am
But time won't take the boy out of this man

Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

The more you know the less you feel
Some pray for others steal
Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel... luckily

Ojalá (Silvio Rodríguez)

One of the best ever songwriters, one of his best songs by 1969... Ojalá, even if you don't understand a word at all, I suppose you'll feel the beauty inside it.



Link to this video in YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u80ocuvZxmY

Ojalá que las hojas no te toquen el cuerpo cuando caigan
para que no las puedas convertir en cristal.
Ojalá que la lluvia deje de ser milagro que baja por tu cuerpo.
Ojalá que la luna pueda salir sin ti.
Ojalá que la tierra no te bese los pasos.

Ojalá se te acabe la mirada constante,
la palabra precisa, la sonrisa perfecta.
Ojalá pase algo que te borre de pronto:
una luz cegadora, un disparo de nieve.
Ojalá por lo menos que me lleve la muerte,
para no verte tanto, para no verte siempre
en todos los segundos, en todas las visiones:
ojalá que no pueda tocarte ni en canciones.

Ojalá que la aurora no dé gritos que caigan en mi espalda.
Ojalá que tu nombre se le olvide a esa voz.
Ojalá las paredes no retengan tu ruido de camino cansado.
Ojalá que el deseo se vaya tras de ti,
a tu viejo gobierno de difuntos y flores.

Je lui dirai (Celine Dion)

Celine Dion included this song in the album "1 fille et 4 types", 2003. It is a song about the love for his child. She explains where he come from, what she will teach him, what she expects from him. I specially love this video because I also like Anne Geddes.

Je lui dirai qu'il est de ce pays
Où son grand-père était bûcheron
Que dans son sang l'Orient coule aussi
Que les mélanges font de beaux enfants
Qu'il est fort et bien vivant

Je lui dirai qu'il est né de l'amour
Que nous l'attendions passionnément
Que chaque nuit s'efface au nouveau jour
Qu'il sera grand mais qu'il a bien le temps
Oh dieu qu'il a bien le temps

Et que la vie l'appelle que le monde l'attend
Que la terre est si belle et le ciel est si grand
Qu'il est beau, que je l'aime, qu'il est ma vie, ma joie
Qu'il est un parmi des millions d'humains
Mais bien l'unique pour moi

Je lui dirai qu'ici bas tout s'apprend
Le bien le mal et même le bonheur
Qu'il ne perde jamais ses yeux d'enfant
Devant trop de malheurs et de laideur
Qu'il regarde avec son coeur

Je lui dirai d'être sage et prudent
D'aller frôler les glaces et les feux
Qu'il goûte à tout mais sans jamais dépendre
Que trop peut être pire que trop peu
Oh bien pire que trop peu

Et que la vie l'appelle que le monde l'attend
Que la terre est si belle et le ciel est si grand
Qu'il est beau, que je l'aime, qu'il est ma vie, ma joie
Qu'il est un parmi des millions d'humains
Mais bien l'unique pour moi

Je lui dirai les chansons les poèmes
Qu'il n'y a pas d'amour sans histoire
Que le bonheur est un grain que l'on sème
Qu'amour et santé ne s'achètent pas
Et qu'on n'est riche que de ça

Je lui dirai qu'un jour une autre femme
Viendra l'aimer et qu'il l'aimera
Que j'en mourrai de bonheur et de larmes
Mais que nous serons là pas après pas
Que c'est la vie et sa loi

Et que la vie l'appelle que le monde l'attend
Que la terre est si belle et le ciel est si grand
Qu'il est beau, que je l'aime, qu'il est ma vie, ma joie
Qu'il est un parmi des millions d'humains
Mais bien l'unique pour moi

Qu'il est beau que je l'aime
Qu'au-delà du mystère
Il est ma plus belle raison de vivre
Ma réponse à l'infini

Fly on the wings of love - Olsen Brothers (2000)

One of the best known winner songs of the Eurovision Song Contest. It won in year 2000 performed by Danish The Olsen Brothers. I can remember that this song has been ever covered by XTM featuring Annia, becoming a disco success but I prefer the original one.

In the summer nights
When the moon shines bright
Feeling love forever
And the heat is on
When the daylight's gone
Still happy together

There's just one more thing I'd like to add
She's the greatest love I've ever had

Fly on the wings of love
Fly, baby, fly
Reaching the stars above
Touching the sky

And as time goes by
There's a lot to try
And I'm feelin' lucky
In the softest sand
Smiling hand in hand
Love is all around me
There's just one more thing I'd like to add
She's the greatest love I've ever had

Fly on the wings of love
Fly, baby, fly
Reaching the stars above
Touching the sky

If you just fly (fly, baby, fly)
Fly on the wings of love (on the wings of love)
Reaching the stars above (fly, baby, fly,)
Touching the sky

Fly on the wings of love
Fly, baby, fly
Reaching the stars above
Touching the sky

Fly on the wings of love (fly, baby, fly)
Fly, baby, fly (on the wings of love)
Reaching the stars above (fly, baby, fly,)
Touching the sky
If you just fly on wings of love

It is the passion flowing right on through your veins
And it's the feeling that you're oh so glad you came
It is the moment you remember you're alive
It is the air you breathe, the element, the fire
It is that flower that you took the time to smell
It is the power that you know you got as well
It is the fear inside that you can overcome
This is the orchestra, the rhythm and the drum

Com uma força, com uma força
Com uma força que ninguém pode parar
Com uma força, com uma força
Com uma fome que ninguém pode matar

It is the soundtrack of your ever-flowing life
It is the wind beneath your feet that makes you fly
It is the beautiful game that you choose to play
When you step out into the world to start your day
You show your face and take it in and scream and pray
You're gonna win it for yourself and us today
It is the gold, the green, the yellow and the grey
The red and sweat and tears, the love you go. Hey!

Com uma força, com uma força
Com uma força que ninguém pode parar
Com uma força, com uma força
Com uma fome que ninguém pode matar

Closer to the sky, closer, way up high, closer to the sky
Mais perto do céu, mais perto do céu

Com uma força, com uma força
Com uma força que ninguém pode parar
Com uma força, com uma força
Com uma fome que ninguém pode matar

Desert Rose (Sting feat. Cheb Mami)

Another great duet, a mix of two cultures: the English pop of Sting and the French-Argelian Cheb Mami, doing a great job together. They both define it as a romantic song of longing.

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of fire
These dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire

This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothing's as it seems

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes
This rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

Sweet desert rose
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower
This rare perfume, is the sweet intoxication of her love

I'm sorry for the times that I made you scream
for the times that I killed your dreams
for the times that I made your whole world rumble

for the times that I made you cry
for the times that I told you lies
for the times that I watched and let you stumble

It's too bad, but that's me
what goes around comes around, you'll see
that I can carry the burden of pain
'cause it ain't the first time that a man goes insane
and when I spread my wings to embrace him for life
I'm suckin' out his love, 'cause I, I'll never be nobody's wife

I'm sorry for the times that I didn't come home
left you lyin' in that bed alone
was flyin' high in the sky when you needed my shoulder

you're like a stone hangin' round my neck, see
cut it loose before it breaks my back, see
I've gotta say what I feel before I grow older

I'm sorry but I ain't gonna change my ways
you know I've tried but I'm still the same
I've got to do it my own way

It's too bad, but hey, that's me
what goes around comes around, you'll see
that I can carry the burden of pain
'cause it ain't the first time that a man goes insane
and when I spread my wings to embrace him for life
I'm suckin' out his love, I, I'll never be nobody's wife

It's too bad, but hey, that's me
what goes around comes around, you'll see

The locomotion (Kylie Minogue)

I think almost everybody knows Kylie's "Can't get you out of my head". So it's funnier to remember her first hits in the late 80's with this cover of The locomotion.

By the way, I love her website, just take a look: Kylie Minogue Official Website

One Night Stand (Sarah Connor Feat Wyclef Jean)

"One night stand (of wolves and sheep)" with Sarah Connor (german pop singer) and Wyclef Jean (american rapper and formerly member of the Fugees), the wickedest combination since Sonny and Cher...



Link to this video in YouTube:

[Intro:]
Sarah Connor it's an honour
Wyclef
Bounce
One nite stand

[Chorus:]
Love ya baby, drive me crazy
Let me be your sugar daddy
Looked into my eyes
I was convinced
That he's real

Girlfriend
Ever had a boyfriend
Looked to be your best friend
Turned out to be a one nite stand

[Verse 1:]
He loves me
He loves me not
He screams my name in bed
Makes me feel so hot
But once he's out the door
He's already forgot
The promises he made
At the break of light
To love me
Protect me
Not leave me
Or hurt me

I was so foolish
And so blind to see
That all he wanted to do was to use me

[Chorus:]
Love ya baby, drive me crazy
Let me be your sugar daddy
Looked into my eyes
I was convinced
That he's real

Girlfriend
Ever had a boyfriend
Looked to be your best friend
Turned out to be a one nite stand

[Verse 2:]
I love him
I love him not
I still scream his name in my bed at night
But once he's out the door
He's already forgot
The promises he made
At the break of light
He said he's needing me,
But he's misleading me
Sayin' he loves me,
But he's mistreating me

I was so foolish
And so blind to see
That all he wanted to do was to use me

[Chorus:]
Love ya baby, drive me crazy
Let me be your sugar daddy
Looked into my eyes,
I was convinced
That he's real

Girlfriend
Ever had a boyfriend
Looked to be your best friend
Turned out to be a one nite stand

But don't feel sad, bad, mad
Cause I've too been
Through the rain
And I can feel your pain

Mama told me
There'd be days like these
So I'm telling you ladies

Take me to the bridge, Sarah Connor!

[Bridge:]
Sitting in my room I'm all alone
My friends think I'm crazy
Cause I'm waiting for your call
Was it a dream or reality
When you said you'd be with me
For eternity

Wyclef and Sarah Connor
Holler, lend me your ears
This is the wickedest combination
Since Sonny and Cher
Say here girl,
Take these dozens of roses
And let me part the red sea like I was Moses
Love is love
Two wrongs don't make it right
So let's make love in the dark
Till we break daylight
Then hit the autobahn
You and me in a Ferrari
Fall asleep in Germany,
Then wake up in New York City

[Chorus:]
Love ya baby, drive me crazy
Let me be your sugar daddy
Looked into my eyes
I was convinced
That he's real

Girlfriend
Ever had a boyfriend
Looked to be your best friend
Turned out to be a one nite stand

But don't feel sad, bad, mad
Cause I've too been
Through the rain
And I can feel your pain

Mama told me
There'd be days like these
So I'm telling you ladies
Watch out for the wolves
That be dressed like sheep

Bounce now, wolves bounce now
Like sheep
Watch out for the wolves wolves
That be dressed like sheep

Like sheep
Watch out for the wolves wolves
One nite stand

Ladies, if you must have it
Make sure he wears a prophylactic

Wolves bounce now
Like sheep
Watch out for the wolves wolves
One nite stand

Summertime (Janis Joplin)

Yes I know, summertime has finished a few months ago, but this song of Janis Joplin is a fantastic example of how to sing a blues. Just something I think that should be shown.

Summertime, time, time,
Child, the livings easy.
Fish are jumping out
And the cotton, lord,
Cottons high, lord, so high.

Your daddys rich
And your ma is so good-looking, baby.
Shes looking good now,
Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, dont you cry.
Aahhhh!

One of these mornings
Youre gonna rise, rise up singing,
Youre gonna spread your wings,
Child, and take, take to the sky,
Lord, the sky.

Until that morning
Honey, n-n-nothings going to harm you now,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Dont you cry,
Dont you cry,
Cry.

Rotolando verso sud (Negrita)

Ogni nome è un uomo
ed ogni uomo e' solo quello che
scoprirà inseguendo le distanze dentro se
Quante deviazioni
quali direzioni e quali no?
prima di restare in equilibrio per un po'
Sogno un viaggio morbido,
dentro al mio spirito
e vado via, vado via,
mi vida cosi' sia

Sopra a un'onda stanca che mi tira su
mentre muovo verso Sud
Sopra a un'onda che mi tira su
Rotolando verso Sud

Long way home

Continente vivo, Desaparecido, sono qua
Sotto un cielo avorio
sotto nubi porpora
Mille fuochi accesi
mille sassi sulla via
Mentre un' eco piano da lontano
sale su... quaggiù
Un pianto lungo secoli,
che non ti immagini
E polvere di polvere...
di storia immobile

Sopra a un'onda stanca che mi tira su
mentre muovo verso Sud
Sopra a un'onda che mi tira su
Rotolando verso Sud

Long way home

Ogni terra un nome
ed ogni nome un fiore dentro me
La ragione esplode
ed ogni cosa va da sè
Mare accarezzami
Luna ubriacami
Rio, Santiago, Lima & Holguin,
Buenos Aires, Napoli
Rio, Bahia, Santiago & Holguin,
Buenos Aires

Sopra a un'onda stanca che mi tira su
mentre muovo verso Sud
Sopra a un'onda che mi tira su
Rotolando verso Sud

Long way home

SOL Y SANGRE, SEXO Y SUR

La dignità degli elementi
la libertà della poesia,
al di là dei tradimenti degli uomini
è magia, è magia, è magia...

Bachelorette (Björk)

Today, I feel in the mood for rescuing a wonderful song, from a wonderful singer. Bachelorette is a song by Icelandic songwriter Björk. It was contained in the electronic album Homogenic of 1997.

This video was directed by Michael Gondry, who has directed at least six videos of Björk. I have included a post about Michael Gondry in "La vergüenza..."

I'm a fountain of blood
In the shape of a girl
You're the bird on the brim
Hypnotised by the Whirl

Drink me, make me feel real
Wet your beak in the stream
Game we're playing is life
Love is a two way dream

Leave me now, return tonight
Tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay

I'm a path of cinders
Burning under your feet
You're the one who walks me
I'm your one way street

I'm a whisper in water
Secret for you to hear
You are the one who grows distant
When I beckon you near

Leave me now, return tonight
The tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay

I'm a tree that grows hearts
One for each that you take
You're the intruder hand
I'm the branch that you break

Miałeś być (Monika Brodka)

Today we travel to Poland to meet Monika Brodka. I enjoy her songs, even when I don't understand anything at all of what she say.

Other marvelous song of Monika Brodka in live (Dziewczyna mojego chlopaka / Ten (Live))
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuxXpjOb5fQ

Miałeś być przy niej
miałeś być na każdy znak
takiej dziewczynie
do nóg się rzuca cały świat
na każdą chwilę miałeś jej przynieść
powietrza przejrzystego smak
każdym oddechem woła o ciebie
i tylko ty nie widzisz jak...

ref.
Głęboko w środku gdzieś
i choć by śladu łez
jej oczy nie poznały nigdy, nie
głęboko w środku tam
otwiera ci swój świat
otwiera wszystko to, co w sercu ma

Miałeś być przy niej
pilnować czy nie gubi się
silnym ramieniem, siłą miałeś być
żeby mogła czerpać z niej
na każdą chwilę jesteś jej winien
Niebo z dostawa pod jej dach
każdym oddechem woła o ciebie
i tylko ty nie widzisz jak

ref.
Głęboko w środku gdzieś
i choć by śladu łez
jej oczy nie poznały nigdy, nie,
głęboko w środku tam
otwiera ci swój świat
otwiera wszystko to, co w sercu ma /x3

Tu corazón (Alejandro Sanz y Lena)

Two great voices and salsa rhythm. They get here the perfect sound. And lyric is so good too, I really love it.

(Lena)
Que sensación tan extraña
aquella que sentí
al escuchar tu corazón
que falsedad la que engaña
a todos ser aquel viejo salón.

Por eso yo,
ya no se que voy hacer sin tu amor
si no puedo escapar de esta llama
que incendia mi cuerpo.
Yo, ya no intento descubrir que pasará,
si prefiero morir que aguantar lo que siento
todo lo que yo llevo lo llevo por dentro.

(Alejandro)
Que sensación tan extraña,
llego sin avisar y acorraló mi corazón
que escondes dentro de tu alma
que me hace alucinar y hasta perder la razón.

Por eso yo
ya no sé que voy hacer sin tu amor
si no puedo escapar de esta llama
que incendia mi cuerpo
yo, ya no intento descubrir que pasará
pues prefiero morir que aguantar lo que siento
todo lo que yo llevo lo llevo por dentro.

Coro:

(Alejandro)
Que me condenen a cien años
que me destierren si te beso
que me castigue Dios si peco
y grito a voces que te quiero

(Alejandro y Lena)
Que me condenen a cien años
que me destierren prima si te beso
que me castigue Dios si peco
y grito a voces que te quiero

(Lena)
Que angustia siento en el alma
pues tengo q callar, cuando en verdad quiero gritar
que misteriosa la calma
se oculta en el umbral de mi ansiedad.

Por eso yo
ya no sé que voy hacer sin tu amor
si no puedo escapar de esta llama
que incendia mi cuerpo
yo, ya no intento descubrir que pasará
si prefiero morir que aguantar lo que siento
todo lo que yo llevo lo llevo por dentro.

Coro:

(Alejandro)
Que me condenen a cien años
que me destierren si te beso
que me castigue Dios si peco,
y grito a voces que te quiero(x3)

(Alejandro y Lena)
Que me condenen a cien años
que me destierren si te beso
que me castigue, (ay que me castigue Dios si peco
y grito a voces que te quiero)


Cien años me van a ser poquito ya...
te lo digo yo...

que me castigue Dios si peco,

y digo que... te quieroooo
que me condenen a...
y no encuentro la calma
me envenaste el alma

que me condenen...

ay.. corazón

Ay que me castigue Dios si peco
y grito a voces que te quiero...

Que me condenen, que me destierre,
que me castigue Dios, que me condenen a cien años
cien años me van a parecer muy poco corazón.

Y yo te dejo mis sentimientos, mis sufrimientos,
entrego todo lo que tengo, guardado aquí en mi corazón.
lo que yo llevo por dentro....oh-oh.
Damelo,damelo.

Aska Yürek Gerek (Anaveis Foties) (Mustafa Sandal & Natalia)

And another great song. This one is a mixture of a Turkish singer (Mustafa Sandal) and a Greek one Natalia. I really love the idea of mixing Greek and Turkish music as a way to help in their problems, and they sound really well together.

Mas Que Nada (Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66)

Nowadays this song is a big hit because of the cover by Black Eyed Peas, but I think that sometimes is necessary also to recall the original song. So here is "Mas que nada" in the voices of Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66.

Oaria rai?
Oba Oba Oba
Mas que nada
Sai da minha frente
Eu quero passar
Pois o samba esta animado
O que eu quero e sambar
Este samba
Que e misto de maracatu
e samba de preto velho
Samba de preto tu
Mas que nada
Um samba como esse to legal
Voce no vai querer
Que eu chegue no fina

Lamento boliviano (Enanitos verdes)

Todey we travel to Argentina. Enanitos Verdes is a soft rock group which started in 1979. This song was a hit in the album Big Bang (1994). A wonderful song with latin roots.

Me quieren agitar
Me incitan a gritar.
Soy como una roca,
Palabras no me tocan
Adentro hay un volcán
Que pronto va a estallar.
Yo quiero estar tranquilo.

Es mi situación
Una desolación,
Soy como un lamento,
Lamento boliviano.

Que un día empezó
Y no va a terminar
Y a nadie hace daño.

Y yo estoy aquí
Borracho y loco
Y mi corazón idiota
Siempre brillará
Y yo te amaré,
Te amaré por siempre.
Nena no te peines en la cama
Que los viajantes se van a atrasar.

Y yo estoy aquí
Borracho y loco
Y mi corazón idiota
Y yo te amaré,
Te amaré por siempre.
Nena no te peines en la cama
Que los viajantes se van a atrasar

Somebody's filled with hate,
His faith is all about a certain
too busy thinkin' bout the pain
to bother checkin' why it's hurtin'

So come on make it right - tonight
gotta get in the light
doesn't matter who you are
when you movin' up with Alcazar

This is the world we live in (ohohoh)
and these are the hands we givin (ohohoh)
use them and let's start tryin' (ohohoh)
to make it a place worth livin' in (ohohoh)

this is the world we live in (ohohoh)
and these are the hands we're givin (ohohoh)
use them and let's start tryin' (ohohoh)
to make it a place worth livin' in (ohohoh)

when you're movin' up with alcazar
(movin movin movin)
when you're movin' up with alcazar
(movin movin movin)

Like a circle made of flames
no telling where it started burnin'
oh for ev'ry fire you contain
a new one keeps the circle turnin'

So come on make it right - tonight
gotta get in the light
doesn't matter who you are
when you movin' up with Alcazar

This is the world we live in (ohohoh)
and these are the hands we're givin (ohohoh)
you say them let's start tryin' (ohohoh)
to make it a place we're livin' in (where we live in)

This is the world we live in (ohohoh)
and these are the hands we're givin (ohohoh)

Das spiel (Annett Lousian)

I realized that I haven't still published any post of Germany. So I have selected this very sweet song, from the album Boheme of Annett Louisan.

Das Spiel


Das du nicht mehr bist, was du einmal warst
seit du dich für mich ausgezogen hast,

dass du alles schmeißt wegen einer Nacht
und alles verlierst war so nicht gedacht,

du willst mich für dich und du willst mich ganz
doch auf dem Niveau macht’s mir keinen Spaß,

dass füllt mich nicht aus ich fühl mich zu Haus
nur zwischen den Stühlen

Ich will doch nur spielen uhuuuuu..
Ich tu doch nichts

Ich will doch nur spielen uhuuuuu..
Ich tu` doch nichts

Das du wegen mir irgendwen verläßt
dass du manchmal weinst, weil es dich verletzt,

dass es immer mal jemand andren gibt
der sich hier und da in mein Leben schiebt,

dass du dich verliebst weil du ’s mit mir tust,
dass es dich so trifft hab ich nicht gewußt,

es war nie geplant dass du dich jetzt fühlst
wie einer von vielen,

Ich will doch nur spielen mhhhmmmm..
Ich tu doch nichts

Ich will doch nur spielen mhhhmmmm..
Ich tu doch nichts.

Das du nicht mehr schläfst weil es dich erregt
wenn ich mich beweg’ wie ich mich beweg’,

dass du fast verbrennst unter meiner Hand
wenn ich dich berühr hab ich nicht geahnt,

ich steh nur so rum tu so dies und das
fahr mir durch das Haar und schon willst du was,

lass mal lieber sein hab zuviel Respekt
vor deinen Gefühlen.

Ich will doch nur spielen mhhhmmmm..
Ich tu doch nichts ahaaa...
Ich will doch nur spielen

Ich tu doch nichts

Ich tu doch nichts...

Ich will doch nur Spielen
Ich tu doch nichts...
Ich tu doch nichts...

La fuerza del destino (Mecano)

Have you ever felt curious about the debut of Penelope Cruz??? So here is. A musical video of the Spanish pop group Mecano in year 1988. If you didn't know, Mecano was one of the best groups in Spain in the 80's and 90's.



Link to this video in YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXSoiyEh16Y

Nos vimos tres o cuatro veces
por toda la ciudad.
Una noche en el bar del Oro
me decidi atacar.

Tu me dijiste diecinueve
no quise desconfiar
pero es que ni mucho ni poco
no vi de donde agarrar.

Y nos metimos en el coche
mi amigo, tu amiga, tu y yo
te dije nena dame un beso
tu contestaste que no.

Empezamos mal y yo creia
que este era un buen plan.

Aquella noche fue un desastre
no me comi un colin
estas son solo un par de estrechas
nos fuimos a dormir.

Pero la fuerza del destino
nos hizo repetir,
dos cines y un par de conciertos
y empezamos a salir.

No se esa cara tan rara
un ojo aqui un diente alla
o el cuerpecillo de gitana
mujer a medio terminar.

Y nos metimos en el coche
mi amigo, tu amiga tu y yo
te dije nena dame un beso
tu contestaste que no.

Empezamos mal y yo creia
que este era un buen plan.

Y desde entonces hasta ahora
el juego del amor
nos tuvo tres anos jugando
luego nos separo.

Pero la fuerza del destino
nos hizo repetir
que si el invierno viene frio
quiero estar junto de ti.

Angela (Saïan Supa Crew)

Saïan Supa Crew is a French rap collective composed of three groups: Explicit Samouraï, OFX, and Simple Spirit. This song is an special mixture of reggae and rap.

Sir Samuel :
ou pé pa sav', ki gen mwen aimé

ké en mwen ka pèd cadence lé ou ka allongé
cow aw en lé mwen, jiska demain
mwen vlé senti po aw satin
nou cétain nou ké lass' démain matin
Leeroy Kesiah :
illico j'mets le turbo, j'adore quand tu m'dis :
"Leeroy, c'est toi l'plus beau, c'est celui qu'j'préfère,
celui qui m' fait grimper au rideau, à n'importe quelle heure et
dans n'importe quel studio, tout le monde sait qu'tu connais
tout les ses-po, donc on t'aime trop
on sait tous qu'avec toi, on passera des moments très chauds"
à chaque fois qu'tu t'sens seule n'hésite pas compose mon numéro
toi-même tu sais qu'une fois d'plus, ce sera très chaud.

{Refrain:}
Angela mwen ké fend' tchou aw
pendan papaw pa la, Angela

Vicelow :
trop "chichi", trop "hein hein"
Angela me "tchip", à peur du "hin hin"
contraint je suis une contrainte, c'est par contrat morale
qu'elle se retrouve contre un noir à lunettes "Vicelow"
homme de zouk, homme de soukous, malhonnête ce coup-ci,
si j'ai pas elle, j'ai sa cousine, elle est coup-çi, coup-ça,
elle a grossit mais j'mettrai un coup à ça !

{au Refrain}

Traduction :
Samuel:
Tu ne peux pas savoir comment je t'aime
Quand tu me dis que tu es excitée
Mon cœur perd la cadence quand tu es allongée
Ton corps sera à moi jusqu'à demain matin
Je veux sentir ta peau de satin
Nous sommes certains d'être fatigués demain matin

{Refrain:}
Angela, je vais te trouer le cul
Pendant que ton papa ne sera pas là, Angela.

Canned heat (Jamiroquai)

London acid jazz by Jamiroquai. Bass line is great!! This is like candy in my ears tonight :)



Link to this video in YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsX-rUm4tAw

You know this boogie is for real

I used to put my faith in worship
But then my chance to get to Heaven slipped
I used to worry about the future
But then I threw my caution to the wind
I had no reason to be care free
No no no, until I took a trip to the other side of town
Yeah yeah yeah, you know I heard that boogie rhythm
Hey - I had no choice but to get down down down down

Dance, nothing left for me to do but dance
Off these bad times I'm going through just dance
Got canned heat in my heals tonight, baby

I feel the thunder, see the lightning
I know this anger's heaven sent
So I've got to hang out all my hang-ups
Because of the boogie I feel so hell bent, hey hey
It's just an instant gut reaction, that I got
I know I never ever felt like this before
I don't know what to do
But then that's nothing new
Stuck between hell and high water
I need a cure to make it through

Hey dancing nothing left for me to do but dance
Off these bad times I'm going through just dance
Hey got canned heat in my heals tonight baby
You know know know I'm gonna dance yeah
Off the nasty things that people say
Dance yeah but I'm gonna make it anyway
Dance yeah got canned heat up my heels tonight baby
You know I've got canned heat up my heels

You know this boogie is for real

Only the wind can blow the answer
And she cries to me when I'm asleep
She says you know that you can go much faster
I know that peoples' talk can be so cheap
I got this voodoo child inveined on me
I'm gonna use my power to ascend
You know I got these running heels to use
Sometimes there's no way I lose
I was born to run and built to last
You've never seen my feet cause they move so fast

Dance yeah, hey nothing left for me to do but dance
Off these bad times I'm going through just dance, hey
Got canned heat in my heals tonight baby

Hey I've got to dance yeah
Off the nasty things that people say
Dance yeah, but I'm gonna make it anyway
Dance yeah, got canned heat up my heels tonight baby

You know this boogie is for real, got
So much canned heat in my heels yeah
Gonna dance, gonna dance my blues away tonight
You know I'm gonna dance my blues away
You know this boogie is for real, got
So much canned heat in my heels yeah
Gonna dance, gonna dance my blues away tonight

you're
happy and
then all of a sudden you're sad
you
are
so bizarre, honey

if you
pull this
moping face on me
there's nothing more to say
you fell in love
with someone again and
got dumped
didn'tcha

happy sad
that's some
nickname you got
you're always standing
in a
sulky pose

the record we got
and listened to
together
last night
had this boring love song on
side one and this depressing
jazz song on the other
side

the record player goes on
spinning in the
night
some soul music
makes me feel like dancing
it goes on and on and on
forever
happy sad

if i'm with you
i'll always be
happy sad
happy sad oo-ooh
if i love you
i'll always be
happy sad happy sad oo-ooh

hey, are you crying?
no!
you're laughing
you're just
like
rainy weather
honey

now don't pull this
sad face
there's nothing
left to say
after
all
the fun you had
now you're depressed

the record player goes on
spinning in the night
if
you don't want to dance
i'll dance by myself
forever
happy sad

if i'm with you
i'll always be
happy sad happy sad oo-ooh
if i
love you
i'll always be
happy sad happy sad
oo-ooh

the record player goes on
spinning in the
night
some soul music
makes me feel like dancing
and
suddenly ends
