You might feel the same

Cuando es invierno en el mar del Norte es verano en Valparaíso. Los barcos hacen sonar sus sirenas al entrar en el puerto de Bremen con jirones de niebla y de hielo en sus cabos, mientras los balandros soleados arrastran por la superficie del Pacífico Sur bellas bañistas. Eso sucede en el mismo tiempo, pero jamás en el mismo día. Porque cuando es de día en el mar del Norte —brumas y sombras absorbiendo restos de sucia luz— es de noche en Valparaíso —rutilantes estrellas lanzando agudos dardos a las olas dormidas. Cómo dudar que nos quisimos, que me seguía tu pensamiento y mi voz te buscaba —detrás, muy cerca, iba mi boca. Nos quisimos, es cierto, y yo sé cuánto: primaveras, veranos, soles, lunas. Pero jamás en el mismo día. [Tratado de Urbanismo] Ángel González

Las guerras no nacen de la calma y la lógica. Nacen de los egos estridentes, el orgullo herido y la ira desenfrenada, y aquí nos encontramos con todo eso. [Artículo escrito en el Periódico El País , 6 Marzo 2014] Frederick Forsyth 

Slow down, you crazy child  you're so ambitious for a juvenile  But then if you're so smart, tell me  Why are you still so afraid?  Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?  You'd better cool it off before you burn it out  You've got so much to do and  Only so many hours in a day  But you know that when the truth is told That you can get what you want or you get old  You're gonna kick off before you even  Get halfway through  When will you realize? Vienna waits for you  Slow down, you're doing fine  You can't be everything you want to be  Before your time  Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight  Tonight...  Too bad but it's the life you lead  you're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need  Though you can see when you're wrong, you know  You can't always see when you're right, you're right  You've got your passion, you've got your pri...

I've got another confession to make I'm your fool Everyone's got their chains to break Holdin' you Were you born to resist, or be abused? Is someone getting the best The best, the best, the best of you? Is someone getting the best The best, the best, the best of you? Or are you gone and onto someone new? I needed somewhere to hang my head Without your noose You gave me something that I didn't have But had no use I was too weak to give in Too strong to lose My heart is under arrest again But I'll break loose My head is giving me life or death But I can't choose I swear I'll never give in I refuse Is someone getting the best The best, the best, the best of you? Is someone getting the best The best, the best, the best of you? Has someone taken your faith? It's real, the pain you feel You trust, you must confess Is someone getting the best The best, the best, the best of you? Has someone taken your faith? It...

Si me das a elegir  Entre tú y mis ideas  Ya que yo sin ellas  Soy un hombre perdido  Si me das a elegir  Entre tú y la gloria  Para que lleve la historia de mí  Por los siglos  Si me das a elegir  Entre tú y ese cielo  Donde libre es el vuelo  Para llegar al olvido  Si me das a elegir  Me quedo contigo  Si me das a elegir entre tú y la pereza con esa grandeza que lleva consigo Si me das a elegir Me quedo contigo Estribillo: Porque me he enamorado  Y te quiero, te quiero  Solo deseo  Estar a tu lado  Soñar con tus ojos  Besarte los labios  Si me das a elegir  Entre tú y mis ideas  Que yo sin ellas  Soy un hombre perdido  Si me das a elegir  Me quedo contigo (Estribillo) Si me das a elegir  Entre tú y ese cielo Donde libre es vuelo Para llegar al olvido  Si me das a elegir  Me quedo contigo (Estribi...

You vowed your love From here to eternity A love so true, It never would die You gave your lips Gave them so willingly How could I know Your kiss meant goodbye? Now I'm alone With only a memory My empty arms Will never know why Though you are gone This love that you left with me Will live from here to eternity Now I'm alone With only a memory My empty arms Will never know why Though you are gone This love that you left with me Will live From here to eternity [Greatest Love Songs] Engelbert Humperdinck

Tell me when will you be mine Tell me quando, quando, quando We can share a love divine Please don't make me wait again When will you say yes to me Tell me quando, quando, quando You mean happiness to me Oh my love, please tell me when Every moment's a day Every day seems a lifetime Let me show you the way To a joy beyond compare I can't wait a moment more Tell me quando, quando, quando Say it's me that you adore And then darling, tell me when Every moment's a day Every day seems a lifetime Let me show you the way To a joy beyond compare I can't wait a moment more Tell me quando, quando, quando Say it's me that you adore And then darling, tell me when Oh my darling, tell me when My darling, tell me when [English version from the original by Tony Renis] Engelbert Humperdinck

Beso soy, sombra con sombra. Beso, dolor con dolor, por haberme enamorado, corazón sin corazón, de las cosas, del aliento sin sombra de la creación. Sed con agua en la distancia, pero sed alrededor. Corazón en una copa donde me la bebo yo, y no se lo bebe nadie, nadie sabe su sabor. Odio, vida: ¡cuánto odio sólo por amor! No es posible acariciarte con las manos que me dio el fuego de más deseo, el ansia de más ardor. Varias alas, varios vuelos abaten en ellas hoy hierros que cercan las venas y las muerden con rencor. Por amor, vida, abatido, pájaro sin remisión. Sólo por amor odiado, sólo por amor. Amor, tu bóveda arriba y yo abajo siempre, amor, sin otra luz que estas ansias, sin otra iluminación. Mírame aquí encadenado, escupido, sin calor a los pies de la tiniebla más súbita, más feroz, comiendo pan y cuchillo como buen trabajador y a veces cuchillo sólo, sólo por amor. Todo lo que significa golondrinas, ascensión, claridad, anchura, aire,...

Las palabras que son verdad no son gratas, las palabras que son bellas no son verdad. Quien es inteligente no discute. Quien discute no es inteligente. Quien es sabio no es erudito. Quien es erudito no es sabio. El sabio no acumula posesiones. Cuanto más hace por los demás, más tiene. Cuanto más da a los demás, más posee. El Tao del Cielo, consiste en favorecer, y no perjudicar. El Tao del sabio siempre actúa y no contiende. [Tao Te King] Lao-Tsé

El ser humano al nacer es blando y sensible, y cuando muere es duro y fuerte. Las plantas cuando nacen son tiernas y flexibles, y cuando mueren son secas y rígidas. Por eso aquellos que son duros y fuertes son compañeros de la muerte. Los suaves y débiles son compañeros de la virtud. Por eso, siendo las armas fuertes no triunfan. Y siéndolo los árboles vigorosos, son aserrados. Lo fuerte y lo grande están debajo. Lo ligero y lo débil, arriba. [Tao Te King] Lao-Tsé

El que los ríos y mares sean los reyes (de las aguas) de cientos de valles, viene de que saben mantenerse a un nivel inferior. Por ello, son los reyes de entre las aguas. Así el sabio: si quiere estar sobre las gentes, ha de mantenerse en sus charlas por debajo de ellos; si quiere estar por delante de las gentes, ha de mantenerse detrás. De igual manera permanece en lo más alto, sin dañar a las gentes. Se mantiene en primer lugar, y las gentes no sufren daño. Así pues: Todo el mundo está deseoso de alabarle, porque él no compite con nadie, nadie en el mundo puede competir con él. [Tao Te King] Lao-Tsé

Todo el mundo dice que el Tao es grande, pero como quien dice, lo dice, a nadie se asemeja Precisamente por ser grande, no tiene igual, Si se asemejara a algo, se hubiese empequeñecido. Tres cualidades preciosas poseo, aprecio y venero las tres. La primera es el amor. La segunda es la modestia. La tercera la humildad. Por el amor soy valeroso. Por la modestia, generoso. Y por la humildad llego a ser honesto. Pretender ser valeroso sin amor, generoso sin modestia e íntegro sin humildad se encamina hacia la muerte. Quien combatiendo ama, vence. Quien se mantiene en la defensa, se hace invencible. Cuando el cielo quiere salvarnos, nos protege con amor. [Tao Te King] Lao-Tsé

Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you By now you should've somehow realized what you gotta do I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now Back beat , the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out I'm sure you've heard it all before but you never really had a doubt I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now And all the roads we have to walk are winding And all the lights that lead us there are blinding There are many things that I would like to say to you But I don't know how Because maybe You're gonna be the one that saves me And after all You're my wonderwall Today was gonna be the day but they'll never throw it back to you By now you shoulda somehow realized what you're not to do I don't believe that anybody fee...

And so it is, Just like you said it would be Life goes easy on me Most of the time And so it is, The shorter story No love, no glory No hero in her sky I can't take my eyes off you (x5) I can't take my eyes... And so it is, Just like you said it should be We'll both forget the breeze Most of the time And so it is, The colder water The blower's daughter The pupil in denial I can't take my eyes off you  (x5) I can't take my eyes... Did I say that I loathe you? Did I say that I want to Leave it all behind? I can't take my mind off you (x5) I can't take my mind... My mind, my mind... 'Til I find somebody [O] Damien Rice

The end of the century I said my goodbyes For what it's worth I always aimed to please But I nearly died For what it's worth Come on lay with me 'Cause I'm on fire For what it's worth I tear the sun in three To light up your eyes For what it's worth (x3) Broke up the family Everybody cried For what it's worth I have a slow disease That sucked me dry For what it's worth Come on walk with me Into the rising tide For what it's worth Filled a cavity Your god shaped hole tonight For what it's worth (x7) No one cares when you're out on the street Picking up the pieces to make ends meet No one cares when you're down in the gutter Got no friends, got no lover (x1) For what it's worth Got no lover (x6) Got no friends got no lover [Battle for the Sun] Placebo

When this began, I had nothing to say And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me (I was confused) And I let it all out to find/that I'm  Not the only person with these things in mind  (inside of me) But all the vacancy the words revealed Is the only real thing that I got left to feel. (nothing to lose) Just stuck, hollow and alone  And the fault is my own,  And the fault is my own. I want to heal, I want to feel,  What I thought was never real I want to let go of the pain I felt so long  (Erase all the pain 'til it's gone) I want to heal,  I want to feel,  Like I'm close to something real I want to find something I've wanted all along Somewhere I belong And I've got nothing to say I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face  (I was confused) Looking everywhere only to find That it's  Not the way I had imagined it all in my mind  (So what am I?) What do I have but negativity?  'Cause...
