Heard playing on my ipod based on the itunes genius feature….This is a spanish love ballad. Yes, it is quite absolutely nice!

Siempre serás la niña– You’ll always be the [little] girl
que me llena el alma– who fills my soul
como un mar inquieto,– like a restless sea
como un mar en calma– like a calm sea
siempre tan lejana– always so far away
como el horizonte– like the horizon

Gritando en el silencio– Screaming in silence
tu nombre en mis labios– your name on my lips
sólo queda el eco– only the echo is left
de mi desengaño– of my disappointment
sigo aquí en mi sueño– I’m still here, in my dream
de seguirte amando– of loving you still

Será, será como tú quieras– It will be, it will be as you wish
pero así será– but that’s how it’ll be
si aún tengo que esperarte– if I still have to wait for you
siete vidas más– another seven lives
me quedaré colgado– I keep myself hanging
de este sentimiento– onto this feeling

Por amarte así– For loving you like this
Es esa mi fortuna,– that’s my fortune
es ese mi castigo– that’s my punishment
Será que tanto amor– could it be that so much love
acaso está prohibido– might be forbidden
y sigo aquí muriendo– and I’m still here dying
por estar contigo– to be with you

Por amarte así– For loving you like this
A un paso de tu boca– a step away from your mouth
y sin poder besarla– and not being able to kiss it
Tan cerca de tu piel– so close to your skin
y sin poder tocarla– and not being able to touch it
Ardiendo de deseos– burning in desire
con cada mirada– with each look
Por amarte así,– for loving you like this
Por amarte así,– for loving you like this
Por amarte — for loving you

Así voy caminando– like this I am walking
en esta cuerda floja– on this **tight rope
por ir tras de tu huella– to go after your [foot]print
convertido en sombra– turned into a shadow
preso del amor– a prisoner of the love
que me negaste un día– that you denied me one day

** “tight rope” translates to “loose (floja) rope” in Spanish

Contando los segundos– Counting the seconds
que pasan por verte– that go by, to see you
Haciéndote culpable– blaming you
de mi propia suerte– for my own luck
soñando hasta despierto– even daydreaming
con hacerte mía– to make you mine

Será, será como tú quieres– It will be, it will be as you wish
pero así será– REP
si aún tengo que esperarte
siete vidas más
me quedaré colgado
de este sentimiento

Por amarte así– REP
Es esa mi fortuna,
es ese mi castigo
Será que tanto amor
acaso está prohibido
y sigo aquí muriendo
por estar contigo

Por amarte así– REP
A un paso de tu boca
y sin poder besarla
Tan cerca de tu piel
y sin poder tocarla
Ardiendo de deseos
con cada mirada
Por amarte así,
Por amarte así,
Por amarte

Por amarte así– REP
Es esa mi fortuna,
es ese mi castigo
Será que tanto amor
acaso está prohibido
y sigo aquí muriendo
por estar contigo

Por amarte así– REP
A un paso de tu boca
y sin poder besarla
Tan cerca de tu piel
y sin poder tocarla
Ardiendo de deseos
con cada mirada
Por amarte así,
Por amarte así,
Por amarte

Here’s one clip that I love….

So here’s Achmed the dead terrorist…

Have a merry xmas…

Dashing through the sand
with a bomb strapped to my back.
I have a nasty plan
for Christmas in Iraq.

I got through checkpoint A,
but not through checkpoint B.
That’s when I got shot in the ass
by the US Military…

[it’s not funny!]

Oooh, jingle bombs, jingle bombs
Mine blew up you see.
Where are all the virgins
that Bin Laden promised me?

Oooh, jingle bombs, jingle bombs
U.S. soldiers shot me dead.
The only thing that I have left
is this towel up on my head.

I used to be a man,
but every time I cough,
thanks to Uncle Sam,
my nuts keep falling off.

My bombing days are done.
I need to find some work.
Perhaps it would be much safer
as a convenient store night clerk.

Oooh, jingle bombs, jingle bombs
I think I got screwed.
Don’t laugh at me because I’m dead
or I’ll kill you…

I KILL YOUOUOU!

C H A N G E S

I picked up the pieces

That you left behind

Gone is the dawn

Out come the sun

A new day’s beginning

Yesterday’s gone

Tomorrow’s a mystery

No battle yet won

Sometimes it’ better left alone

Sometimes it’s better not to show

Some thing’s were beter before

Some thing’s not the same anymore

Well life’s full of changes

They say…

Life’s like a flower

Fadin’ with time

Ticks by the hour

Till the journey is done

Left with a memory

A glimpse of the past

Just for a while

I thought it would last

*Repeat chorus

Life’s full of blunder

Betrayal and lies

Regret’s not the answer

For the strong will survive

Something’s it’s better left unread

Sometimes it’s better left unsaid

Something’s not the same anymore

Well life’s full of changes

They say…

Yeah life’s full of changes

They say…

Change as they say…Change as they say

**My favorite local song…Thanks Claudine for helping me with the lyrics..**

I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear 

 

But I knew that it would come 

 

An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone 

 

She said you found someone 

 

And I thought of all the bad luck, 

 

And the struggles we went through 

 

And how I lost me and you lost you 

 

What are these voices outside love's open door 

 

Make us throw off our contentment 

 

And beg for something more? 

 

I'm learning to live without you now 

 

But I miss you sometimes 

 

The more I know, the less I understand 

 

All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again 

 

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter 

 

But my will gets weak 

 

And my thoughts seem to scatter 

 

But I think it's about forgiveness 

 

Forgiveness 

 

Even if, even if you don't love me anymore 

 

These times are so uncertain 

 

There's a yearning undefined 

 

...People filled with rage 

 

We all need a little tenderness 

 

How can love survive in such a graceless age 

 

The trust and self-assurance that can lead to happiness 

 

They're the very things we kill, I guess 

 

Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms 

 

And the work I put between us, 

 

Doesn't keep me warm 

 

I'm learning to live without you now 

 

But I miss you, Baby 

 

The more I know, the less I understand 

 

All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again 

 

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter 

 

But everything changes 

 

And my friends seem to scatter 

 

But I think it's about forgiveness 

 

Forgiveness 

 

Even if, even if you don't love me anymore 

 

There are people in your life who've come and gone 

 

They let you down and hurt your pride 

 

Better put it all behind you; life goes on 

 

You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you inside 

 

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter 

 

But my will gets weak 

 

And my thoughts seem to scatter 

 

But I think it's about forgiveness 

 

Forgiveness 

 

Even if, even if you don't love me anymore 

 

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter 

 

Because the flesh will get weak 

 

And the ashes will scatter 

 

So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness 

 

Forgiveness 

 

Even if, even if you don't love me anymore 

A song for the coming National Day Parade:（老鼠爱大米）

A song for the coming National Day Parade:（老鼠爱大米）
Let’s get 孙燕姿 Stefanie Sun to sing in Indian style.

wo ai ni, ai zhe ni, jiu xiang lao shu ai da mi,
use the name N-K-F , to get money for TT;
dun durai, dun du kee, (don’t push here and there), we all share the charity,
buy Goh tap and Mer-say-dee, entitle me jay phuay kee (sit aeroplane)
show TV, get money, jiu xiang lao shu tou (steal) da mi
but the Goh say it’s peanut, dunno why u all so fussy;
wo ai ni, ai zhe ni, jiu xiang lao shu ai da mi,
it’s the job of gahment, and the CPIB, to dig and see, to dig and see…..

Stand up for NKF

There was a time when people say NKF would not make it,
But we did
There was a time when toilet seemed too small for me.
Now I replaced it.
Recognise you can play a part in my pay,
Let it come right from your sweat and blood;
Be prepared to give a lot more.
Stand up, stand up for NKF

What a difference a day made
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain

My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I’m part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine

What a difference a day makes
There’s a rainbow before me
Skies above can’t be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss

It’s heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you

What a difference a day makes
There’s a rainbow before me
Skies above can’t be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss

It’s heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you

Nice poem, I say it is…Well, perhaps use it on my next project I will…

Tons of Chinese Songs Lyrics…Check it out

http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~nghoongk/lyrics/index.html

現在也只能欣賞　唯一的合照一張
淡忘了的是那個街 想念的是當時的微笑

＊生活中交錯失望　越想念就越孤單
若再被寂寞迎頭趕上
多感傷原來只是正常

＃你是不是也在品嚐
一個人的咖啡和天光
是不是也忽然察覺到
多出時間看天色的變換

＋如果有一天　我們再見面
時間會不會倒退一點
也許我們都忽略
互相傷害之外的感覺

％如果哪一天　我們都發現
好聚好散不過是種遮掩
如果我們沒發現
就給彼此多一點時間

重唱　＊,＃,＋,％,＋,％

Another of the 梁静茹 song that I like. Her vocals are getting much better. Meaningful lyrics…
Blogging this so that I can refer to the lyrics as and when I need too.

Words & Music by Yoshiki

Crucify my love – If my love is blind
Crucify my love – If it sets me free
Never know, Never trust
That love should see a color
Crucify my love – If it should be that way
Swing the heartache – Feel it inside out
When the wind cries – I’ll say good bye
Tried to learn, Tried to find
To reach out for eternity
Where’s the answer – Is this forever
Like a river flowing to the sea
You’ll be miles away, and I will know
I know I can deal with the pain
No reason to cry
Crucify my love – If my love is blind
Crucify my love – If it sets me free
Never know, Never trust
That love should see a color
Crucify my love – If it should be that way
‘Til the lonliness shadows the sky
I’ll be sailing down and I will know
I know I can clear the clouds away
Oh is it a crime to love
Swing the heartache – Feel it inside out
When the wind cries – I’ll say good bye
Tried to learn, Tried to find
To reach out for eternity
Where’s the answer – Is this forever
If my love is blind
Crucify my love – If it sets me free
Never know, Never trust
That love should see a color
Crucify my love – If it should be that way”

The following few lines are extracted from the lyrics of the song…
Very well written song and the rendition is simply breath-taking. Take a listen.
This particular song is actually a love ballad, sung in both English and Japanese.
My understanding of Japanese is not there, despite the fact that I have taken japanese lessons in the past…

Lack of practise, I guess and no one to speak Japanese…Bunch of excuses..let us just say I suck at it! Despite not knowing the lyrics, the song delivers and can really sort of like touches my emotion quite abit..

I really like the following few lines..

Time may change my life
But my heart remains the same to you
Time may change your heart
My love for you never changes

Google for the song!
