Siboney, yo te quiero

yo me muero por tu amor;

Siboney en tu boca

la miel puso su dulzor;

ven a mí que te quiero

y que te adoro

y qué eres para mi.

Siboney al arrullo

de la palma pienso en ti.

Siboney de mi sueño

que no oyes la queja de mi voz

Siboney, si no vienes

me moriré de amor.

Siboney de mi sueño

te espero con ansia en mi caney

porque tú eres el dueño

de mi amor Siboney.

Oye el eco de mi canto de cristal

no se pierda por entre el rudo manigual

Tonight I can write the saddest lines

Recited by Andy Garcia for Il Postino.

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.

Write for example, 'The night is shattered

and the blue stars shiver in the distance.'

The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.

I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.

Through nights like this one I held her in my arms.

I kissed her again and again under the endless sky.

She loved me, sometimes I loved her too.

How could one not have loved her great still eyes.

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.

To think that I do not have her. To feel that I have lost her.

To hear immense night, still more immense without her.

And the verse falls to the soul like dew to a pasture.

What does it matter that my love could not keep her.

The night is shattered and she is not with me.

This is all. In the distance someone is singing. In the distance.

My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.

My sight searches for her as though to go to her.

My heart looks for her, and she is not with me.

The same night whitening the same trees.

We, of that time, are no longer the same.

I no longer love her, that's certain, but how I loved her.

My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing.

Another's. She will be another's. Like my kisses before.

Her voice. Her bright body. Her infinite eyes.

I no longer love her, that's certain, but maybe I love her.

Love is short, forgetting is so long.

Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms

my soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.

Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer

and these the last verses that I write for her.

Original in Spanish:

Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche.

Escribir, por ejemplo: "La noche está estrellada,

y tiritan, azules, los astros, a lo lejos".

El viento de la noche gira en el cielo y canta.

Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche.

Yo la quise, y a veces ella también me quiso.

En las noches como ésta la tuve entre mis brazos.

La besé tantas veces bajo el cielo infinito.

Ella me quiso, a veces yo también la quería.

Cómo no haber amado sus grandes ojos fijos.

Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche.

Pensar que no la tengo. Sentir que la he perdido.

Oir la noche inmensa, más inmensa sin ella.

Y el verso cae al alma como al pasto el rocío.

Qué importa que mi amor no pudiera guardarla.

La noche está estrellada y ella no está conmigo.

Eso es todo. A lo lejos alguien canta. A lo lejos.

Mi alma no se contenta con haberla perdido.

Como para acercarla mi mirada la busca.

Mi corazón la busca, y ella no está conmigo.

La misma noche que hace blanquear los mismos árboles.

Nosotros, los de entonces, ya no somos los mismos.

Ya no la quiero, es cierto, pero cuánto la quise.

Mi voz buscaba el viento para tocar su oído.

De otro. Será de otro. Como antes de mis besos.

Su voz, su cuerpo claro. Sus ojos infinitos.

Ya no la quiero, es cierto, pero tal vez la quiero.

Es tan corto el amor, y es tan largo el olvido.

Porque en noches como ésta la tuve entre mis brazos,

mi alma no se contenta con haberla perdido.

Aunque éste sea el último dolor que ella me causa,

y éstos sean los últimos versos que yo le escribo.

"Vivir con miedo, es como vivir a media." (A life lived in fear is a life half-lived.)

Love this cover of Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time.

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick and think of you

Caught up in circles confusion is nothing new

Flashback warm nights almost left behind

Suitcases of memories, time after

Sometimes you picture me

I'm walking too far ahead

You're calling to me

I cant hear what you've said

Then you say go slow I fall behind

The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me... time after time

If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting... time after time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me... time after time

If you fall I will catch you I will be waiting... time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has turned to gray

Watching through windows you're wondering if I'm ok

Secrets stolen from deep inside

The drum beats out of time

And of course, love this rumba as well:

And... gotta love the finale too!

If you forget me / Il Postino

Theme by Luis Bacalov / Performed by John Williams

Spoken poetry by Madonna

Mixed by Me ;)

Poem by Pablo Neruda

English:

If you forget me

I want you to know one thing

You know how this is

If I look at the crystal moon

At the red branch of the slow autumn at my window

If I touch near the fire the impalpable ash

Or the wrinkled body of the log

Everything carries me to you

As if everything that exists - aromas, light, metals

Were little boats that sail toward those isles of yours that wait for me

Well, now

If little by little you stop loving me

I shall stop loving you, little by little

If suddenly you forget me

Do not look for me

For I shall already have forgotten you

If you think it long and mad the wind of banners that passes through my life

And you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have roots

Remember.... That on that day, at that hour

I shall lift my arms, and my roots will set off to seek another land

But... If each day, each hour

You feel that you are destined for me with implacable sweetness

If each day a flower climbs up to your lips to seek me

Ahh my love, ahh my own

In me all that fire is repeated

In me nothing is extinguished or forgotten

My love feeds on your love, beloved

And as long as you live it will be in your arms

Without leaving mine

Original in Spanish:

"Si Tu Me Olvidas"

Quiero que sepas

una cosa.

Tú sabes cómo es esto:

si miro

la luna de cristal, la rama roja

del lento otoño en mi ventana,

si toco

junto al fuego

la impalpable ceniza

o el arrugado cuerpo de la leña,

todo me lleva a ti,

como si todo lo que existe:

aromas, luz, metales,

fueran pequeños barcos que navegan

hacia las islas tuyas que me aguardan.

Ahora bien,

si poco a poco dejas de quererme

dejaré de quererte poco a poco.

Si de pronto

me olvidas

no me busques,

que ya te habré olvidado.

Si consideras largo y loco

el viento de banderas

que pasa por mi vida

y te decides

a dejarme a la orilla

del corazón en que tengo raíces,

piensa

que en esa día,

a esa hora

levantaré los brazos

y saldrán mis raíces

a buscar otra tierra.

Pero

si cada día,

cada hora,

sientes que a mí estás destinada

con dulzura implacable,

si cada día sube

una flor a tus labios a buscarme,

ay amor mío, ay mía,

en mí todo ese fuego se repite,

en mí nada se apaga ni se olvida,

mi amor se nutre de tu amor, amada,

y mientras vivas estará en tus brazos

sin salir de los míos.

  Do You Love Me?

I found her on a night of fire and noise
Wild bells rang in a wild sky
I knew from that moment on
I'll love her till the day that I died
And I kissed away a thousand tears
My lady of the Various Sorrows
Some begged, some borowed, some stolen
Some kept safe for tomorrow
On and endless night, silver star spangled
The bells from the chapel went jingle-jangle

Do you love me? Do you love me?
Do you love me? Do you love me?
Do you love me? Do you love me?
Do you love me? Like I love you?

She was given to me to put things right
And I stacked all my accomplishments beside her
Still I seemed so obselete and small
I found God and all His devils inside her
In my bed she cast the blizzard out
A mock sun blazed upon her head
So completely filled with light she was
Her shadow fanged and hairy and mad
Our love-lines grew hopelessly tangled
And the bells from the chapel went jingle-jangle

Do you love me? Do you love me?
Do you love me? Do you love me?
Do you love me? Do you love me?
Do you love me? Like I love you?

She had a heartful of love and devotion
She had a mindful of tyranny and terror
Well, I try, I do, I really try
But I just err, baby, I do, I error
So come find me, my darling one
I'm down to the grounds, the very dregs
Ah, here she comes, blocking the sun
Blood running down the inside of her legs
The moon in the sky is battered and mangled
bAnd the bells from the chapel go jingle-jangle

Do you love me? Do you love me?
Do you love me? Do you love me?
Do you love me? Do you love me?
Do you love me? Like I love you?

All things move toward their end
I knew before I met her that I would lose her
I swear I made every effort to be good to her
I made every effort not to abuse her
Crazy bracelets on her wrists and her ankles
And the bells from the chapel go jingle-jangle

Do you love me? Do you love me?
Do you love me? Do you love me?
Do you love me? Do you love me?
Do you love me? Like I love y





  Do You Love Me? (Part 2)

Onward! And Onward! And Onward I go
Where no man before could be bothered to go
Till the soles of my shoes are shot full of holes
And it's all downhill with a bullet
This ramblin' and rovin' has taken it's course
I'm grazing with the dinosaurs and the dear old horses
And the city streets crack and a great hole forces
Me down with my soapbox, my pulpit
The theatre ceiling is silver star spangled
And the coins in my pocket go jingle-jangle

Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?

There's a man in the theatre with girlish eyes
Who's holding my childhood to ransom
On the screen there's a death,
there's a rustle of cloth
And a sickly voice calling me handsome
There's a man in the theatre with sly girlish eyes
On the screen there's an ape, a gorilla
There's a groan, there's a cough, there's a rustle of cloth
And a voice that stinks of death and vanilla
This is a secret, mauled and mangled
And the coins in my pocket go jingle-jangle

Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?

The walls in the ceiling are painted in blood
The lights go down, the red curtains come apart
The room is full of smoke and dialogue I know by heart
And the coins in my pocket jingle-jangle
As the great screen crackled and popped
And the clock of my boyhood was wound down and stopped
And my handsome little body oddly propped
And my trousers ride down to my ankles
Yes, onward! And upward!
And I'm off to find love
Do you love me? If you do, I'm thankful

Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?

This city is an ogre squatting by the river
It gives life but it takes it away, my youth
There comes a time when you just cannot deliver
This is a fact. This is a stone cold truth.
Do you love me? I love you, handsome.
But do you love me? Yes, I love you, you are handsome
Amongst the cogs and the wires, my youth
Vanilla breath and handsome apes with girlish eyes
Dreams that roam between truth and untruth
Memories that become monstrous lies
So onward! And Onward! And Onward I go!
Onward! And Upward! And I'm off to find love
With blue-black bracelets on my wrists and my ankles
And the coins in my pocket go jingle-jangle

Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?

♫ Song/Video ~ Where The Wild Roses Grow

Where The Wild Roses Grow ~ Kylie Minogue / Nick Cave

(Chorus) : They call me The Wild Rose

But my name was Elisa Day

Why they call me that I do not know

For my name was Elisa Day

From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one

She stared in my eyes and smiled

For her lips were the colour of the roses

That grew down the river, all bloody and wild

When he knocked on my door and entered the room

My trembling subsided in his sure embrace

He would be my first man, and with a careful hand

He wiped at the tears that ran down my face

(Chorus)

On the second day I brought her a flower

She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen

I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow

So sweet and scarlet and free?"

On the second day he came with a single red rose

He said: "Give me your loss and your sorrow"

I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed

"If I show you the roses, will you follow?"

(Chorus)

On the third day he took me to the river

He showed me the roses and we kissed

And the last thing I heard was a muttered word

As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow

She lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief

And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die"

And I lent down and planted a rose between her teeth

(Chorus)

Life on Mars ~ Seu Jorge

Portuguese version of the David Bowie song. Seu Jorge's lyrics are totally different from the Bowie's original.

I really love the pure simplicity of this acoustic version.

Portuguese lyrics:

English translation:

Quando as coisas do coração

Não consegue compreender

O que a mente não faz questão

E nem tem forças para obedecer

Quantos sonhos já destruí

E deixei escapar das mãos

E se o futuro assim permitir

Não pretendo viver em vão

Meu amor não estamos sós

Tem um mundo a esperar por nós

Do infinito do céu azul

Pode ter vida em marte

Entao vem cá

Me dá a sua língua

Então vem

Eu quero abraçar vocë

Seu poder vem do sol

Minha medida

Entao vem

Vamos viver a vida

Então vem

Se não eu vou perder quem sou

Vou querer me mudar

Para uma Life on Mars

All these things that we feel inside

Who can ever understand

All those questions I won't even ask

All those feelings I won't even fight

All those dreams that have slipped away

So many things that have come and gone

If only future will give me a chance

Then I won't live this life in vain

Listen love, no we're not alone

There's a whole world out there waiting for us

In the infinitive blue sky

We might even find life on mars

So come here

Let me taste your tongue

Come on,

I want to put my arms around you

Your power comes from the sun above

It's just what I need

So come on,

Let’s live our life

Come on,

I’ll lose who I want to be

I want to change

For a Life on Mars
