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.

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
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

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...

[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, 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

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 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)

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)

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)

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)

cow aw en lé mwen, jiska demain
mwen vlé senti po aw satin

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

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.

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

sad face
there's nothing

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

Aguas de Março (Elis Regina & Tom Jobim)

This video shows the love for music of their singers. I'm never tired of hearing this song. Moreover the smile of Elis Regina it's simply great. She had an interesting life as I can see in her article in Wikipedia.

É pau, é pedra, é o fim do caminho
É um resto de toco, é um pouco sozinho

É um caco de vidro, é a vida, é o sol
É a noite, é a morte, é um laço, é o anzol

É peroba no campo, é o nó da madeira
Caingá candeia, é o matita-pereira

É madeira de vento, tombo da ribanceira
É o misterio profundo, é o queira ou não queira

É o vento ventando, é o fim da ladeira
É a viga, é o vão, festa da cumeeira

É a chuva chovendo, é conversa ribeira
Das águas de março, é o fim da canseira

É o pé, é o chão, é a marcha estradeira
Passarinho na mão, pedra de atiradeira

É uma ave no céu, é uma ave no chão
É um regato, é uma fonte, é um pedaço de pão

É o fundo do poço, é o fim do caminho
No rosto um desgosto, é um pouco sozinho

É um estepe, é um prego, é uma conta, é um conto
É um pingo pingando, é uma conta, é um ponto

É um peixe, é um gesto, é uma prata brilhando
É a luz da manhã, é o tijolo chegando

É a lenha, é o dia, é o fim da picada
É a garrafa de cana, o estilhaço na estrada

É o projecto da casa, é o corpo na cama
É o carro enguiçado, é a lama, é a lama

É um passo, é uma ponte, é uma sapo, é uma rã
É um resto de mato, na luz da manhã

São as águas de março fechando o verão
É a promessa de vida no teu coração

É uma cobra, é um pau, é João, é José
É um espinho na mão, é um corte no pé

São as águas de março fechando o verão
É a promessa de vida no teu coração

É pau, é pedra, é o fim do caminho
É um resto de toco, é um pouco sozinho

É um passo, é uma ponte, é um sapo, é uma rã

Nocturne - Secret Garden (1995)

And another great song. The winners of Eurovision Song Contest in 1995 were a norwegian group called Secret Garden, and they won with this song. The soundtrack of the film Shrek always remind me a lot this song.

Sin hvile nå
Og natten vil våke for den

Så natten kan føde en dag

Fuori dal tunnel (Caparezza)

I love this song. It reminds me some days I spent in Rome a few years ago. The singer is Caparezza an italian rapper with a great sense of humour. This song is pure rhythm.

Sono fuori dal tunnel del divertimento (x2).
Quando esco di casa e mi annoio sono molto contento.
Quando esco di casa e mi annoio sono molto più contento...
Di te che spendi stipendi stipato in posti stupendi tra culi su cubi succubi di beat orrendi
succhi brandy e ti stendi, dandy, non mi comprendi, senti, tu non ti offendi se ti dico che sei trendy,
prendi me, per esempio, non mi stempio per un tempio del divertimento essendo amico di Baldan Bembo
sono "un silenzio che può diventare musica" se rimo sghembo su qualsiasi tempo che sfrequenzo.
Collaudo l'autoradio, nell'auto cauto resto faccia a faccia con una focaccia, altro che lauto pasto.
Capomastro, con validi manovali ricostruisco gli argini di una giornata ai margini della disco e mi stupisco
quando si uniscono al banchetto che imbastisco che dopo mischiano il brachetto e non capisco
com'è che si finisce a parlare di Jeeg Robot e delle "Strade di San Francisco".
Sono fuori dal tunnel del divertimento (x2).
Quando esco di casa e mi annoio sono molto contento.
Quando esco di casa e mi annoio sono molto più contento...
Mi piace il cinema e parecchio, per questo mi chiamano vecchio, è da giovani spumarsi e laccarsi davanti allo specchio?
Sono vecchio, punto, e prendo spunto dal tuo unto ciuffo, mi sento stretto come quando inchiappetto un puffo.
"oooh, io odio Caparezza..."
Sbuffo pensando a serate tipo del tipo "Che facciamo?" Io ho una Tipo di seconda mano che mi fa da pub, da disco e da divano,
sono qua, come un allodola questo è il mio ramo.
Io, immune al pattume della tv di costume, in volo senza piume in un volume di fumetti sotto il lume,
non c'è paragone basta una birra in fermentazione e la tipa in fibrillazione per la nuova posizione.
M'attizza la zizza piena, mi delizia la tizia oscena, ho fame, no problema se se mi sfizia la pizza a cena.
Serate a tema ben accette, salame a fette spesse, vhs e se non bastasse su le casse.
Sono fuori dal tunnel del divertimento (x2).
Quando esco di casa e mi annoio sono molto contento.
Quando esco di casa e mi annoio sono molto più contento...
"Gli incontri, gli scontri, lo scambio di opinioni, persone che son fatte di nomi e di cognomi,
venghino signori, che qui c'è il vino buono,
le pagine del libro e le melodie del suono,
si vive di ricordi, signori, e di giochi,
di abbracci sinceri, di baci e di fuochi,
di tutti i momenti, tristi e divertenti, e non di momenti tristemente divertenti."
...io lo vorrei rifare...

Me voy (Julieta Venegas)

Today I was travelling to work in the bus and I realized that this is really a wonderful song by Julieta Venegas. This is the story of a girl that breaks up with somebody because she realize that he doesn't love her. That is one of the hardest things to do.

Porque no supiste entender a mi corazón
lo que había en él porque no tuviste el valor de ver quien soy
porque no escuchas lo que está tan cerca de ti
sólo el ruido de afuera y yo
que estoy a un lado desaparezco para ti

No voy a llorar y decir que no merezco esto
porque es probable que lo merezco pero no lo quiero
por eso me voy que lástima pero adiós
me despido de ti me voy
que lástima pero adiós me despido de ti

Porque sé que me espera algo mejor
alguien que sepa darme amor
de ese que endulza la sal y hace que salga el sol
yo que pensé nunca me iría de ti
que es amor lo bueno de toda la vida
pero hoy entendí que no hay suficiente para los dos

No voy a llorar y decir que no merezco esto
porque es probable que lo merezco pero no lo quiero
por eso me voy que lastima pero adiós
me despido de ti me voy

Me voy que lástima pero adiós
me despido de ti me voy
que lástima pero adiós
me despido de ti me voy
que lástima pero adiós
me despido de ti
me voy
que lástima pero adiós
me despido de ti

Cançao do mar (Dulce Pontes)

This is a great portuguese song I discoved by the film Primal Fear. I love the voice of this girl Dulce Pontes, and I love fados. A Fado is the most popular expression of music in Portugal. In this music they express bad moments of life, generally they are sad songs about melancholy and sadness.



Fui bailar no meu batel
Além do mar cruel
E o mar bramindo
Diz que eu fui roubar
A luz sem par
Do teu olhar tão lindo

Vem saber se o mar terá razão
Vem cá ver bailar meu coração

Se eu bailar no meu batel
Não vou ao mar cruel
E nem lhe digo aonde eu fui cantar
Sorrir, bailar, viver, sonhar contigo

Cosmopolitan life (Al Di Meola & Leonid Agutin)

This song symbolizes the spirit of this blog, a great guitarist (Al Di Meola) and a russian singer (Leonid Agutin) mixing pop with brazilian rhythms. In my opinion, this is one of the greatest songs of the last years.

Let's Get It Started

[Fergie]
Let’s get it started in here

[Tabbo]
And the bass keeps running, running

And running, running
And running, running
And running, running
And running, running
And-

[Will.I.Am]
In this context there’s no disrespect
So when I bust my rhyme you break your necks
We got 5 minutes for us to disconnect
From all intellect and the let rhythm effect

To lose the inhibition, follow your intuition
Free your inner soul and break away from tradition
Cause when we beat out, girl it’s pulling without
You wouldn’t believe how we wow, owww
Burn it til it’s burned out
Turn it til it’s turned out
Actin' up from north ,west, east, south

Everybody! (Yeah?)
Everybody! (Yeah?)
Get into it! (Yeah!)
Get stoned (Come on!)
Get it started! (Come on!)
Get it started! (Yeah!)
Get it started!

[Taboo]
Lose control of body and soul
Don’t move too fast people just take it slow
Don’t get ahead
Just jump into it
Y’all hear about it the Peas'll do it

Get started
Get stupid
Don’t worry about it people we’ll walk you through it
Step by step like an infant, new kid
Inch by inch with a new solution
Transmit hits with no delusion
The feeling’s irresistible and that’s how we move it

Everybody! (Yeah?)
Everybody! (Yeah?)
Get into it! (Yeah!)
Get stoned (Come on!)
Get it started! (Come on!)
Get it started! (Yeah!)

[Apl.De.Ap]
Let’s get ill that’s the deal
Out the gate, we will bring a punked Eye thrill (Just)
Lose your mind this is the time
Y'all can't sit still just to bang your spine (Just)
Bob your head, like me, Apl.De
Up inside your club or in your Bentley
Get messy
Loud and sick
Your mind past normal on another head trip
So, come dumb now do not correct it
Let’s get ignant
Let’s get hectic
