Strade son' cambiate.
Faccie son' diverse.
Era la mia città.
Non la conosco più.
La ora io sono solo un' estranea
Senza patria.

I remember you were there.
Any one emotion.
Any true devotion.
Anytime, anywhere.

Case son' cambiate.
Voci son' diverse.
Era la mia città.
Non la conosco più.

La ora io sono solo un' estranea
Senza patria.

I remember you were there.
Any one emotion.
Any true devotion.
Anytime, anywhere.

Tanti, anni son' passati.
Vite son' cambiate.
Era la mia città.
Non la conosco più.
E ora io sono solo un' estranea
Senza patria.

Other songs of Sarah Brightman:
Time to say goodbye (with Andrea Bocelli)
Hijo de la luna (not as good as the original of Mecano, of course)
Phantom of the opera

Maria Rita - Cara Valente (2003)

Is not a secret that I love the Brazilian music of Elis Regina. And her daughter Maria Rita reminds me her a lot. Her voice is just lovely.

Não, ele não vai mais dobrar
Pode até se acostumar
Ele vai viver sozinho
Desaprendeu a dividir
Foi escolher o mal-me-quer
Entre o amor de uma mulher
E as certezas do caminho
Ele não pôde se entregar
E agora vai ter de pagar com o coração, olha lá
Ele não é feliz
Sempre diz
Que é do tipo cara valente
Mas, veja só
A gente sabe

Esse humor é coisa de um rapaz
Que sem ter proteção
Foi se esconder atrás
Da cara de vilão
Então, não faz assim, rapaz
Não bota esse cartaz
A gente não cai, não

Ê! Ê!
Ele não é de nada
Oiá!!!
Essa cara amarrada
É só
Um jeito de viver na pior

Ê! Ê!
Ele não é de nada
Oiá!!!
Essa cara amarrada
É só
Um jeito de viver nesse mundo de mágoas
Ele não é de nada

Strophe 1.
Wir sind durch die Stadt gerannt.
Haben keinen Ort mehr erkannt
Tokio An dem wir nicht
Schon einmal waren

Wir haben alles ausprobiert
Hotel Die Freiheit endet hier
Wir müssen jetzt
Durch diese Wand

Verlager dein Gewicht
Den Abgrund siehst du nicht

Refrain
Achtung, fertig, los und lauf
Ende Vor uns bricht der Himmel auf
Wir schaffen es zusammen
Übers Ende der Welt
der Die hinter uns zerfällt

Strophe 2.
Wir schauen nochmal zurück
Welt Es ist der letzte Blick
Auf alles, was für immer war

Komm, atme noch mal ein
Es kann der Anfang sein
Morgen ist zum Greifen nah

Verlager dein Gewicht
Den Abgrund siehst du nicht

Refrain
Achtung, fertig, los und lauf
Lyrics Vor uns bricht der Himmel auf
Wir schaffen es zusammen
Übers Ende der Welt
Lyric Die hinter uns zerfällt

Bridge
Lass es alles hinter dir
Liedertexte Es gibt nichts mehr zu verlier´n
Alles hinter dir und mir
Liedertext Hält uns nicht mehr auf

Verlager dein Gewicht
Guck mir ins Gesicht

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
