I Want You - Lindi Ortega

There would be angels, there would be devils... I would be in between
But I can be the devil if you ask me too...

Anchor - Mindy Gledhill

When all the world is spinning ‘round
Like a red balloon way up in the clouds
And my feet will not stay on the ground
You anchor me back down

I am nearly world renowned
As a restless soul who always skips town
But I look for you to come around
And anchor me back down

There are those who think that I’m strange
They would box me up and tell me to change
But you hold me close and softly say
That you wouldn’t have me any other way

When people pin me as a clown
You behave as though I’m wearing a crown
When I’m lost I feel so very found
When you anchor me back down

I am nearly world renowned
As a restless soul who always skips town
But I look for you to come around
And anchor me back down

When all the world is spinning ‘round
Like a red balloon way up in the clouds
And my feet will not stay on the ground
You anchor me back down

Yo te quería decir...

Escúchame

como no lo has hecho nunca, 

escúchame, 

pero como casi nunca que yo... 

Cantaré mi amor 

en la noche azul...

...

Pero ya no me importa

porque nada me toca

y no hay nada vivo dentro de mí

Para A...

Porque te he estado recordando mucho...

Mientes - Camila


Tú Llegaste a mi vida para enseñarme,
tú, supiste encenderme y luego apagarme,
tú, te hiciste indispensable para mi y... y...

Y con los ojos cerrados te seguí,
si yo busqué dolor lo conseguí,
no eres la persona que pensé, que creí, que pedí.

Mientes, me haces daño y luego te arrepientes
ya no tiene caso que lo intentes
no me quedan ganas de sentir

Llegas cuando estoy a punto de olvidarte
busca tu camino en otra parte
mientras busco el tiempo que perdí
y hoy estoy mejor sin ti.

Voy de nuevo recordando lo que soy,
sabiendo lo que das y lo que doy,
el nido que buscaste para ti y... y...y...

Y el tiempo hizo lo suyo y comprendí
las cosas no suceden porque si,
no eres la persona que pensé, que creí, que pedí.

Mientes, me haces daño y luego te arrepientes
ya no tiene caso que lo intentes
no me quedan ganas de sentir

Llegas cuando estoy a punto de olvidarte
busca tu camino en otra parte
mientras busco el tiempo que perdí
y hoy estoy mejor sin ti, y hoy estoy mejor sin ti.

Llegas cuando estoy a punto de olvidarte
busca tu camino en otra parte
mientras busco el tiempo que perdí
y hoy estoy mejor sin ti,
y hoy estoy mejor sin ti,
y hoy estoy mejor sin ti.

Planeth Earth - Barrie Gledden

Planet Earth, by Barrie Gledden

Maybe everything is right with the world
it's just that we can't get off it.
Maybe everything is wrong in the world
it's just we're too proud to see it.

In the dream that I've seen,
In the day that has gone,
On the flow of the wind in the ocean.
And the black of the night,
and the fake of the moonlight,
and the breath of the
one who doesn't care.

In the dream that I've seen,
and alone in the wishes,
and I followed it up,
and I followed it home.
And the bleed to the one
and the fall to the ghost.

In the dream that I've seen,
In the dream that I've seen.

Maybe everything is right with the world
it's just that we can't get off it.
Maybe everything is wrong in the world
it's just we're too proud to see it.

In the dream that I've seen
on the flow of the wind in the ocean,
and the black of the night
and the fake of the moonlight.
And the bleed to the one
and the fall to the ghost.

In the dream that I've seen,
In the dream that I've seen.

Maybe everything is right with the world,
it's just that we can't get off it.

(Best song ever!)

Loneliness

Vacío. Tengo un vacío que no se puede llenar.
La ansiedad crece, y me consume minuto a minuto.
Tengo ganas de correr, y ganas de meterme en un pozo.
Quisiera entrar en el agua congelada y que mi corazón se haga de hielo, pero también quiero escuchar sus latidos resonando en su pecho cálido.
Me siento de frente, de espalda, de costado, de cabeza, y no encuentro la posición correcta.
Me paro, doy dos vueltas y las piernas se me duermen.
Abro los oídos a los ladridos, a la música, a la aguja del reloj. Perturban mi paz.
Se me tensan los músculos de la cara, aprieto los dientes, cierro los ojos y busco el interruptor de apagado.
Se nubla mi vista, me desplomo sobre el colchón lleno de cables que transmiten impulsos eléctricos.
Un escalofrío me recorre el cuerpo, siento que me falta el aire.
¿Qué es ese veneno que me ha atacado? ¿Cuál es la ponzoña que destruye mi corazón poco a poco?
Un bostezo. Tengo sueño, pero no puedo dormir.
Siento que la sangre no llega a irrigar todas las células de mi cuerpo.
Busco desesperadamente un suelo sobre el cual pisar, pero sólo encuentro una burbuja de aire que no se ve, que no se puede rasgar, de la que no se puede escapar. 
Mi caída es inminente, y permanente, parece que no tiene final.
Hay un foco de dolor en mi cabeza, y no encuentro el método para no pensar.
Al final ya no siento nada, el vacío envolvió todo y no dejó rastros, ni siquiera yo existo.

Té para tres - Soda Stereo

Té para tres

Las tazas sobre el mantel,
la lluvia derramada.
Un poco de miel...
Un poco de miel
no basta.

El eclipse no fue parcial
y cegó nuestras miradas.
Te vi que llorabas,
te vi que llorabas por él.

Té para tres.

Un sorbo de distracción,
buscando descifrarnos.
No hay nada mejor,
no hay nada mejor
que casa.

Té para tres.

Tea for three.

The cups on the tablecloth,
the rain spilled.
A little of honey...
A little of honey
is not enough.

The eclipse was not partial
and it blinded our looks.
I saw you crying,
I saw you crying
for him.

Tea for three.

A sip of distraction,
seeking to decipher ourselves.
There's nothing better,
there's nothing better
than home.

Tea for three.

Refugees

Quiero un poco de paz

I want some peace

Standing in the hallway

You showed me your back

and your hair

and I just couldn't

stop the beating of my heart.

You showed me your smile

and your voice,

and I couldn't do otherwise

but fall in love.

I gave you my soul,

but you said no.

I gave you all,

but you said no.

What's left in this world?

If not to be loved,

what's the next step in the way?

if not die, then run away.

It is impossible for me though,

because I can't live without you,

because my life is nothing

if you don't love me.

This is just the origin

of the end.

For your endless rejection

I blame myself.

You won't feel me leaving,

it will be as if I didn't exist,

and you won't realize

that once I was by your side.

Not even a goodbye,

or a wink tonight;

just avoiding,

so you will say nothing.

Even a word

could stop me going,

but you stay silent,

staring while standing.

I decided not to lose myself,

wasting my time on someone

who does not care

of what's around her.

En un rincón del museo

No sé si es tu sonrisa

la que me hace volar

o son tus ojos

los que no me dejan pensar

en otra cosa que no sea

tu mirada profunda,

tu marca personal.

La luz del sol

ilumina la curvatura de tus labios

y tus ojos entornados,

encendidos por un pensamiento,

transmiten un mar de sentimientos.

Y aunque tú me miras

yo no veo en ese rostro

la magia de Cupido

que impunemente me ha herido.

Ese tirano tiene en su puño

mi corazón aplastado,

el que había perdido.

Me hizo creer

que de amor

yo podía vivir,

que todo sería mejor

estando tú aquí.

Si mil vidas

yo tuviera para dedicarte,

ninguna valdría

tanto como la que dejo

por este amor incierto

en un rincón del museo

perdido en el tiempo.

No sé si hay otro fin posible,

para esta tragedia que me envuelve

en un paño de lágrimas

antes de despedirme.

Ojalá, yo pudiera decirte.

Ours

The sky is falling down on me
I don't care
what the sphere-shaped planet means,
nor what they say.

It's just like fire
the way I feel,
when I meet your eyes,
it is my heart what you steal.

I don't want to sleep,
because I would have to dream
about this little world
where you don't know me.

I would take you in my arms
and towards a shelter we would run,
there, under the dome
before they detonate the bomb.

Please do not walk away
do not turn your back on me.
There will be a day
when the world will be only...
ours.

Poor quality, hasty written, terribly structured poem. But something, though.

Arms - Christina Perri

Arms. Just that...

No les entraba tanto amor

And who's that in the pic?

That would be me...

My God... You're beautiful

Se sentaban en el pasto, y tanto amor...

No les entraba en el corazón.

No les entraba tanto amor.

Ella usaba a veces una cruz,

y sin embargo se cruzaba a veces.

He intentado aprender y significar...

El modo en que se besaban...

Hermosos de sexys se miraban...

No les entraba tanto amor.

Se reían de fruta y eran de mentol;

flotaban orgasmos bajo el sol,

condición que no cambiaba el diluviar.

Dibujaban el cielo con crayón,

y sin embargo se rayaban a veces.

No duraba mucho ese bajón,

no les entraba tanto amor...

Con una inyección de libertad,

detienen el pulso universal

el amor era aquello que no les faltaba...

Encendieron apenas una luz,

que sin embargo brillará en la eternidad

para aquellos que bebemos soledad,

sólo espero que nos puedan contagiar... 

Quizás.

(Tanto Amor - Massacre)

Breakfast - EMA

I can't stop, I won't stop
I can't stop, I won't stop
I can't stop

I can't stop, I won't stop
I can't stop, I won't stop
I can't stop

Mama's in the bedroom, don't you stop
Mama's in the bedroom, don't you stop
Mama's in the bedroom, don't you stop
Mama's in the bedroom, don't you... stop

Mama's in the bedroom, don't you stop
Mama's in the bedroom, don't you stop
Mama's in the bedroom, don't you stop
Mama's in the bedroom, don't you... stop

A little picture and a piece of cloth
You can't be there when it comes right off
A little picture and a piece of cloth
You can't be there when it comes right off

Big fat breakfast
Big fat bluebird
Big fat breakfast
Big fat bluebird

You feel just like a breeze to me
(You feel)
Just like a breeze to me
(You feel)
Just like a breeze to me
(You feel)
Just like a breeze to me
Just like a breeze to me
Just like a breeze to me
Just like a breeze to me

Dreams

There's no goal I can't reach. There's no dream I can't make happen. There's no goal I can't reach, there's no dream I can't make happen...

Girlfriend?

De repente, abrió la puerta y corrió hacia mí. Me abrazó...

-¿Cómo está mi hermosa, mi sueño, mi corazón, mi... Novia?

-¿Novia? -pregunté, asombrada.

-Sí. ¿Te parece?

-Sí... Me parece -sonreí.

Le resultaba tan fácil hacerme feliz.

Suddenly, he opened the door and ran straight at me. He held me...

-How is my beautiful, my dream, my heart, my... Girlfriend?

-Girlfriend? -I asked, astonished.

-Yes. Do you agree?

-Yes... I agree -I put a smile in my face.

It was so easy for him to make me happy...

Brandi Carlile - Before It Breaks

Around here, it's the hardest time of year

Waking up, the days are even gone

The collar of my coat, Lord help me, cannot help the cold

The rain drops sting my eyes, I keep them closed

But I'm feelin' no pain

I'm a little lonely and my quietest friend

Have I the moonlight? Have I let you in?

Say it ain't so, say I'm happy again

Say it's over, say I'm dreaming

Say I'm better than you left me

Say you're sorry, I can take it

Say you'll wait, say you won't

Say you love me, say you don't

I can make my own mistakes

Let it bend before it breaks

I'm alright, don't I seem to be?

Aren't I swinging on the stars? Don't I wear them on my sleeve?

Went looking for a crossroads, it happens every day

And whichever way you turn, I'm gonna turn the other way

Say it's over, say I'm dreaming

Say I'm better than you left me

Say you're sorry, I can take it

Say you'll wait, say you won't

Say you love me, say you don't

I can make my own mistakes

Learn to let it bend before it breaks

Say it's over, say I'm dreaming

Say I'm better than you left me

Say you're sorry, I can take it

Say you'll wait, say you won't

Say you love me, say you don't

I can make my own mistakes

Let it bend before it breaks...

What a beautiful way to express feelings...
