Birds

[Verse 1] Been standing in the corner, studying the lights The dreaming of escape will keep you up at night But someone had put the flares up and got me in the rays So I guess I’d better stay ‘Uh uh no come on’ you say [Refrain 1] It's a fools gold thunder It's just a warring rain Don't let the fears just start 'What if I won’t see you again’ Around here you never want to sleep all night So start falling in love, start the riot and [Chorus 1] Come on rage with me We don’t need words And we’ll be birds Got to make our own key [Verse 2] Only got this moment You and me Guilty of nothing, but geography [Refrain 2] Come on and raise it Come on and raise this noise for the million people Who got not one voice Come on it’s not over if you mean it, say loud Come on all for love, out from the underground [Chorus 2] Away with me We don’t need words Close your eyes and see And we'll be birds, flying free Holding on in the mystery [Bridge

Pensamiento de amor

Dejé un instante de pensarte. Había sucedido algo en ti cuando volviste. Venías más nostálgico, más triste, seco tu sol que iluminó mi día. Alguien -sé quién- que yo no conocía, alguien que calza sueños de oro, y viste almas dolientes, te pensó. Caíste al pozo donde muere la alegría. ¿Por qué fuiste pensado, malherido, pensamiento de amor?  ¿Cómo han podido pasarte el corazón de parte a parte? ¿Por qué volviste a mí, sufriendo, a herirme? ¿No recuerdas que tengo que ser firme? ¿Es que no ves que tengo que matarte? [Cuanto sé de mí, 1957] José Hierro

Dos fábulas para tiempos sombríos

Segunda fábula (El amor) 1. Génesis En el principio era el amor. Cuando el alba buscaba un dueño. Cuando todas las criaturas llevaban sus cuerpos desiertos. En el principio era el amor. En todo tenía su reino. La noche entera era el latido de tan hondo enamoramiento. El amor y las almas, juntos fueron creando el Universo. Las almas fueron su metal. El amor su mágico fuego. En el principio era el amor. Los cuerpos estaban desiertos, y cada cuerpo buscó un alma que lo tuviera prisionero. Para el cuerpo, recién nacido de la noche, todo fue nuevo. Ignoró, por no entristecerse, que el alma tenía recuerdos. En el principio era el amor. 2. Sin saberlo Alguna vez, un alma halló el alma que la completaba. Cuando los cuerpos se tuvieron, olvidaron que había alma. No llegaron a lo que dura, y gozaron de lo que pasa. Luego se fueron, dividieron el caudal de su única agua. 3. Segundo amor En el principio era el amor. Sin el amor nada existía. El al

La mano es la que recuerda...

La mano es la que recuerda Viaja a través de los años, desemboca en el presente siempre recordando. Apunta, nerviosamente, lo que vivía olvidado. la mano de la memoria, siempre rescatándolo. Las fantasmales imágenes se irán solidificando,  irán diciendo quién eran, por qué regresaron. Por qué eran carne de sueño, puro material nostálgico. La mano va rescatándolas  de su limbo mágico. [Cuaderno de Nueva York, 1998] José Hierro

La libertad absurda

Antes de encontrarse con lo absurdo el hombre cotidiano vive sus metas, con un afán de futuro o de justificación (no importa con respecto a quién o qué). Evalúa sus probabilidades, cuenta con el porvenir, con su retiro o con el trabajo de sus hijos. Cree aún que se puede dirigir algo en su vida. En verdad, obra como si fuese libre, aunque todos los hechos se encarguen de contradecir esa libertad. Después de lo absurdo, todo se derrumba. La idea de que "existo", mi forma de obrar como si todo tuviera un sentido (aun cuando, llegado el caso, dijera que nada lo tiene) todo esto resulta desmentido de forma vertiginosa por la absurdidad de una posible muerte. Pensar en el mañana, fijarse una meta, tener preferencias, todo eso supone creer en la libertad, aun cuando a veces se asegure que no se abriga esa creencia. Pero en ese momento sé perfectamente que no existe esa libertad superior, esa libertad de existir que es la única que puede fundamentar una verdad. La muerte está ahí co

More than words

[Verse 1: Gary Cherone] Saying I love you Is not the words I want to hear from you It's not that I want you Not to say, but if you only knew How easy it would be to show me how you feel More than words is all you have to do to make it real Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me Cause I'd already know [Chorus] What would you do if my heart was torn in two More than words to show you feel That your love for me is real What would you say if I took those words away Then you couldn't make things new Just by saying I love you More than words [Verse 2: Gary Cherone] Now that I've tried to talk to you and make you understand All you have to do is close your eyes And just reach out your hands and touch me Hold me close don't ever let me go More than words is all I ever needed you to show Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me Cause I'd already know [Chorus] What would you do if my heart was torn in two More than word

With or without you

See the stone set in your eyes See the thorn twist in your side I wait for you Sleight of hand and twist of fate On a bed of nails she makes me wait And I wait without you With or without you With or without you Through the storm, we reach the shore You gave it all but I want more And I'm waiting for you [Chorus] With or without you With or without you I can't live with or without you [Bridge] And you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you give, and you give And you give yourself away My hands are tied, my body bruised She got me with nothing to win And nothing left to lose [Bridge] [Chorus 2x] [The Best of 1980-1990] U2

Every breath you take

[Opening instrumental] Every breath you take Every move you make Every bond you break Every step you take I'll be watching you Every single day Every word you say Every game you play Every night you stay I'll be watching you [Pre-Verse 3] Oh can't you see You belong to me How my poor heart aches with every step you take [Verse 3] Every move you make Every vow you break Every smile you fake Every claim you stake I'll be watching you Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace I dream at night I can only see your face I look around, but it's you I can't replace I feel so cold and I long for your embrace I keep crying baby, baby please [Middle-eight] [Pre-Verse 3] [Verse 3] Every move you make Every step you take I'll be watching you I'll be watching you... [Every Breath You Take: The Singles (1986)] The Police

The shape of my heart

[Verse 1] He deals the cards as a meditation And those he plays never suspect He doesn't play for the money he wins He doesn't play for respect [Verse 2] He deals the cards to find the answer The sacred geometry of chance The hidden law of a probable outcome The numbers lead a dance [Chorus] I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart [Verse 3] He may play the jack of diamonds He may lay the queen of spades He may conceal the king in his hand While a memory of it fades [Chorus] [Bridge] That's not the shape, the shape of my heart {​​Harmonica Solo}​​ [Verse 4] And if I told you that I loved you You'd maybe think there's something wrong I'm not a man of too many faces The mask I wear is one [Verse 5] Those who speak know nothing And find out to their cost Like those who curse their luck in to

Momento de cambio

Al final todo cansa. Cualquier cosa puede llegar a aburrir. Tanto cansa el sol como un día nublado. Cuando pesan los pasos, también cansa. Y todo por vivir vestido, comido y bajo techo. Y, normalmente, incluso un par de cosas más. El tiempo se escapa y nunca vuelve y el dinero no es más que tiempo de tu vida invertido para conseguirlo. Si solo controlamos en qué invertimos el tiempo es mejor pensarlo un segundo o dos. Cualquier decisión puede ser una buena decisión. A menos que acabe en suicidio o en la muerte de alguien. Pero por insignificante que parezca la hormiga en el hormiguero, trabajando laboriosa por el bien de su especie, juega un papel en la historia. Tal vez diminuto, pero lo suficientemente válido y digno como para ser escuchado.  Claro está que el sentido de la expresión radica de la necesidad fundamental de tener algo que decir, más que de necesitar una audiencia en la que reflejarse. Esta es una forma estúpida de decir que cuando uno está cansado quiere hacerlo sa

Sail away

Sail away with me honey I put my heart in your hands Sail away with me honey now, now, now Sail away with me What will be, will be I wanna hold you now, now, now Crazy skies all wild above me now Winter howling at my face And everything I held so dear Disappeared without a trace Oh all the times I've tasted love Never knew quite what I had Little Darling, if you hear me now Never needed you so bad Spinning round inside my head Sail away with me honey I put my heart in your hands Sail away with me honey now, now, now Sail away with me What will be will be I wanna hold you now, now, now I've been talking drunken gibberish Falling in and out of the bars Trying to find some explanation here For the way some people are How did it ever come so far? Sail away with me honey I put my heart in your hands Sail away with me honey now, now, now Sail away with me What will be will be I wanna hold you now, now, now Sail away with me honey I put my heart i

Nuevo día

Esta es mi pose West Fargo a medio camino entre lo dulce y lo amargo creo que estoy al día con todo y sin embargo , lo que no pagué ayer vuelve con recargo Vuelven las distancias cortas, los tragos largos la gente absorta saliendo del letargo a nadie le importa que estemos en la red atrapados, los oigo pared con pared Viendo que están pasando tantas cosas a la vez, perdiendo el tiempo y la niñez se muere el pez yo solo quiero estar mejor de lo que estoy te lo juro por mi gente , por mi sangre pinoy Por el primero de Big Noyd, es un nuevo día, pongo mi palabra, la melodía,  lo sé, vagón que no se mueve, muere en la vía, la vida es al tiempo lo que una chispa a la energía Pero es lo mejor porque ese resplandor del pasado como un tren de vapor trae al presente el amor . Y si la gente solo quiere caer , y economía no es nombre de mujer , y o lo que quiero es vivir sin tener que pisar para comer sin vender mis ideas y hacerlo por placer debo se

Not letting go

[Verse 1: Tinie Tempah] Yeah, ready for the summer, girl, your hair look killer See your batty getting bigger but your waist looks slimmer And I hope I'm still with you when your hair get thinner I ain't gotta work it out, I know I'm on to a winner And I love it when I see you sing a song in the mirror When you play your favourite records where there ain't no filler Chicky-cha-chicky-chicky, Sade, DJ Dilla Now I'm on the right track, went from a train to a limo Now we on the right track Used to know me back in college, now I got it like that Could've gotten sidetracked, now I'm back on my feet If I hadn't achieved, would you pack up and leave? Now you're scratching on me like we're Adam and Eve Playing remix to Ignition in the back of the Jeep, ah She like the hook but she doesn't know the verse She know I love her even if I never say the words [Hook: Jess Glynne] (x2) You were something I can't replace You made my hea

Éxodo

Llévame lejos de aquí,  donde me mire al espejo y solo me vea mí mismo  llévame donde el tiempo no es dinero  a beber inmortalidad en copas de carpintero  donde el hombre justo es el guadián del hombre sabio y  el final es una sonrisa en tus labios  llévame de vuelta al principio  eternamente haz que siga siendo el mismo  haz que sea diferente  o espérame en la puerta de atrás  tardo un minuto en salir y ni un segundo de más  te veo ahí, ahí donde el silencio se habla  donde ganar o perder es como quedar en tablas  en el lugar, donde los extremos se tocan  donde las palmas de las manos de los amigos chocan  y el dolor es una ventaja, el amor es una carta  y yo soy el rey de la baraja  llévame donde las cosas encajan y nadie mira el reloj,  donde las casas son bajas y estamos juntos  descalzos sin papel ni metal ni plástico ,  ni ladrillos de té ni sacos de sal   espérame en el sitio sin excusas  donde vive el recuerdo y el tiempo no se usa  en las encrucij

Insomnia

[Verse 1] Never thought that I'd fall in love (x4) But it grew from a simple crush (x4) Being without you girl, I was all messed up (x4) When you walked out, said that you'd had enough (x4) [Hook] Been a fool, girl I know Didn't expect this is how things would go Maybe in time, you'll change your mind Now looking back I wish I could rewind [Chorus] Because I can't sleep til you're next to me No I can't live without you no more Oh I stay up till you're next to me Til this house feels like it did before Feels like insomnia ah ah (x4) [Verse 2] Remember telling my boys that I'd never fall in love (x4) You used to think I'd never find a girl I could trust (x4) And then you walked into my life and it was all about us (x4) But now I'm sitting here thinking I messed the whole thing up (x4) [Hook] [Chorus] [Bridge] I just can't go to sleep Cause it feels like I've fallen for you It's getting way too deep

Rise & Fall

[Hook: Sting] Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over And it seems as though the writing is on the wall Superstar you finally made it But once your picture becomes tainted It's what they call The rise and fall [Verse 1: Craig David] I always said that I was gonna make it Now it's plain for everyone to see But this game I'm in don't take no prisoners Just casualties I know that everything is gonna change Even the friends I knew before may go But this dream is the life I've been searching for Started believing that I was the greatest My life was never gonna be the same Cause with the money came a different status That's when things change Now I'm too concerned with all the things I own Blinded by all the pretty girls I see I'm beginning to lose my integrity [Hook: Sting] [Verse 2: Craig David] I never used to be a troublemaker Now I don't even wanna please the fans No autographs, no interviews, no pictures Endless dem

Return of the Mack

[Verse 1] Well, I tried to tell you so Yes, I did But I guess you didn't know As the saddest story goes Baby, now I got the flo' Cause I knew it from the start Baby, when you broke my heart That I had to come again And to show you that I'm with [Bridge] You lied to me All those times I said that I loved you You lied to me Yes I tried, yes I tried You lied to me Even though you know I'd die for you You lied to me Yes I cried, yes I cried [Hook] Return of the Mack, there it is Return of the Mack, come on Return of the Mack, oh my God You know that I'll be back, here I am Return of the Mack, once again Return of the Mack, top of the world Return of the Mack, watch my flow You know that I'll be back, here I go [Verse 2] So, I'm back up in the game Running things to keep my swing Letting all the people know That I'm back to run the show Cause what you did you know was wrong And all the nasty things you've done So baby

Can't stop

[Verse 1] Can't stop; addicted to the shin dig Chop Top; he says I'm gonna win big Choose not a life of imitation Distant cousin to the reservation Defunkt; the pistol that you pay for This punk; the feeling that you stay for In time I want to be your best friend Eastside love is living on the westend Knocked out but boy you better come to Don't die, you know the truth is some do Go write your message on the pavement Burnin' so bright I wonder what the wave meant White heat is screaming in the jungle Complete the motion if you stumble Go ask the dust for any answers Come back strong with 50 belly dancers [Chorus] The world I love The tears I drop to be part of the wave can't stop Ever wonder if it's all for you The world I love The trains I hop to be part of the wave can't stop Come and tell me when it's time to [Verse 2] Sweetheart is bleeding in the snowcone So smart she's leading me to ozone Music the great communicato
