Pomelo y limón - Begoña Oro

Audrey Tautou
 

Los recuerdos están hechos de palabras; la vida está hecha de palabras. No puedes cambiar lo que te ha pasado, pero puedes escoger las palabras para contarlo. (Pomelo y limón - Begoña Oro)
 

Anaheim Ballet -Jacoby & Pronk

It's just in your mind. Whatever comes to your mind, can also go away. As simple as that.

Missing...

Missing someone isn’t about how long it has been since you've seen them or the amount of time since you’ve talked. It’s about that very moment when you’re doing something and wishing they were right there with you. (Anonymous)

Duas lágrimas de orvalho - Mariza

Angela Lindvall
Duas lágrimas de orvalho
Caíram nas minhas mãos
Quando eu te afaguei o rosto
Pobre de mim, pouco valho
Pra te acudir na desgraça,
Pra te valer no desgosto

Por que choras, não me dizes
Não é presciso dizê-lo
Não dizes, eu advinho
Os amantes infelizes
Deveriam ter coragem
Para mudar de caminho

Por amor damos alma,
Damos corpo, damos tudo
Até cansarmos na jornada
Mas quando a vida se acaba
O que era amor, é saudade
E a vida já não é nada

Se estás a tempo, recua
Amordaça o coração
Mata o passado e sorri
Mas se não estás, continua
Disse isto minha mãe
Ao ver-me chorar por ti

Fernando Pessoa

My soul is impatient with itself, as with a bothersome child; its restlessness keeps growing and is forever the same. Everything interests me, but nothing holds me. I attend to everything, dreaming all the while. (F. Pessoa)
Jacqueline Bisset

Primavera - Mariza

Françoise Dorleac
Todo o amor que nos prendera
Como se fora de cera
Se quebrava e desfazia
Ai funesta primavera
Quem me dera, quem nos dera
Ter morrido nesse dia

E condenaram-me a tanto
Viver comigo meu pranto
Viver, viver e sem ti
Vivendo sem no entanto
Eu me esquecer desse encanto
Que nesse dia perdi

Pão duro da solidão
É somente o que nos dão
O que nos dão a comer
Que importa que o coração
Diga que sim ou que não
Se continua a viver

Todo o amor que nos prendera
Se quebrara e desfizera
Em pavor se convertia
Ninguém fale em primavera
Quem me dera, quem nos dera
Ter morrido nesse dia

Ava Gardner (fishing)

Ava Gardner
Never forget that only dead fish swim with the stream. 
(M. Muggeridge)

Junior Suite - Vanessa Paradis

Vanessa Paradis
La mer c'est la même tout le temps
Avec le même vent
J'dis ça, j'suis pas le marin, j'suis pas le vent
Je connais des poissons contents
Ils ont l'air content
Mais qu'est-ce que j'pourrais bien faire dedans

Toutes ces choses qui m'viennent
Toutes ces choses qui m'quittent
Ces choses qui m'reviennent
Ces choses qui m're-quittent
Faudrait qu'ça m'revienne avant qu'ça m'passe vite
Junior Suite

L'amour, on compare ça souvent à un océan
J'dis ça, j'suis pas le bateau, j'suis pas d'dans
J'ai quelques amis navigants
Ils sont navigants
Moi j'ai déjà tellement d'eau qui fout le camp

Toutes ces choses qui m'viennent
Toutes ces choses qui m'quittent
Ces choses qui m'reviennent
Ces choses qui m're-quittent
Faudrait qu'ça m'reprenne avant qu'ça m'passe vite
Junior Suite

I wouldn't dare - Vanessa Paradis

Vanessa Paradis
I could just reach out and touch your hair
ooooh but I wouldn't dare
leaning whisper that I care
ohhhhhhhh but I wouldn't dare

that would only break this spell
that I have learnt to love so well
and it wouldn't be fair
so I wouldn't dare

oh I could see us as a pair
humm but I wouldn't dare
we could have the sweet affair

hummmm but I wouldn't dare

no I'd be happy just to dance
with this illusion of romance
that I never would share
'cos I wouldn't dare


in these circumstances a heart that takes chances
has only itself to blame
but it would be tragic if I lost this magic
and didn't feel the same oooh


oh I could sit and I could stare euh euh
but I wouldn't dare
imagining the when and where
hummm but I wouldn't dare

for if you are to turn away
because of things that I might say
I just couldn't bear
so I wouldn't dare
that wouldn't be fair
so I wouldn't dare
I wouldn't dare

Castles in the air - Don McLean

To build castles in the air = to daydream, to cherish vain hopes that have little chance of happening.
Zooey Deschanel
 And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told you
That I’m tired of castles in the air.
I’ve got a dream I want the world to share
And castle walls just lead me to despair.

Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky,

A dream come true, I’ll live there till I die.
I’m asking you to say my last goodbye.
The love we knew ain’t worth another try.

Save me from all the trouble and the pain.

I know I’m weak, but I can’t face that girl again.
Tell her the reasons why I can’t remain,
Perhaps she’ll understand if you tell it to her plain.


But how can words express the feel of sunlight in the morning,

In the hills, away from city strife.
I need a country woman for my wife;
I’m city born, but I love the country life.

For I cannot be part of the cocktail generation:

Partners waltz, devoid of all romance.
The music plays and everyone must dance.
I’m bowing out. I need a second chance.

Save me from all the trouble and the pain.

I know I’m weak, but I can’t face that girl again.
Tell her the reasons why I can’t remain,
Perhaps she’ll understand if you tell it to her plain.

And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told you

That I’m tired of castles in the air.
I’ve got a dream I want the world to share
And castle walls just lead me to despair.

Audrey Hepburn

If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world. 
(C.S. Lewis)
Audrey Hepburn

Everybody's changing - Keane

Cuando ya no somos capaces de cambiar una situación, nos encontramos ante el desafio de cambiarnos a nosotros mismos. (Victor Frank)

So little time, try to understand that I'm trying to make a move just to stay in the game. I try to stay awake and remember my name but everybody's changing, and I don't feel the same.

La espuma de las orillas - Andrés Calamaro

Celia Hammond
A lo lejos se escucha venir lo que el río no quiso contar,
A lo lejos se escucha venir lo que el río no quiso contar,
como siempre te vas a reír de algo ganso que te diga yo,
y te vas a dormir abrazándote siempre a mí.

Para siempre te voy a esperar, para siempre te voy a querer,
para siempre te voy a esperar, para siempre te voy a querer,
Como siempre te voy a pedir , para siempre querernos así,
La corriente del río que vino te trajo hasta mi,

Vengo liviano, como la espuma de las orillas,
a contramano de la resaca del carnaval,
mi sentimiento va a durar, el fuego no me va a quemar,
ya no tengo espinas clavadas en el corazón.

A lo lejos se escucha venir lo que el río no quiso contar,
A lo lejos se escucha venir lo que el río no quiso contar,
como siempre te vas a reír de algo ganso que te diga yo,
y te vas a dormir abrazándote siempre a mí.
Que vengo liviano como la espuma de las orillas,
a contramano de la resaca del carnaval,

Mi sentimiento va a durar, el fuego no me va a quemar,
ya no tengo espinas clavadas en el corazón.
Que ya no tengo espinas clavadas en el corazón.

La copa rota - Andrés Calamaro

Lara Stone
Aturdido y abrumado
por la duda de los celos,
se ve triste en la cantina
un bohemio ya sin fe.
Con los nervios destrozados,
y llorando sin remedio
como un loco atormentado
por la ingrata que se fue.

Se ve siempre acompañado
del mejor de los amigos,
que le acompaña y le dice:
"ya está bueno de licor".
Nada remedia con llanto,
nada remedia con vino:
al contrario, la recuerda
mucho más su corazón.

Una noche, como un loco,
mordió la copa de vino,
y le hizo un cortante filo
que su boca destrozó.
Y la sangre que brotaba
confundióse con el vino,
y en la cantina este grito
a todos estremeció:

"No te apures compañero
si me destrozo la boca,
no te apures que yo quiero,
con el filo de esta copa,
borrar la huella de un beso
traicionero que me dio."

"Mozo, sírveme la copa rota,
sírveme que me destroza
esta fiebre de obsesión.
Mozo, sírveme una copa rota,
quiero sangrar gota a gota
el veneno de su amor."

"Mozo, sírveme en la copa rota,
sírveme que me destroza
tanta fiebre de obsesión.
Mozo, sírveme una copa rota,
quiero sangrar gota a gota
el veneno de su amor."

Nostalgias - Andrés Calamaro

Clemence Poesy
Quiero emborrachar mi corazon
para apagar un loco amor
que mas que amor es un sufrir...
Y aqui vengo para eso,
a borrar antiguos besos
en los besos de otras bocas.
Si su amor fue flor de un dia,
por que causa es siempre mia
esa cruel preocupacion.
Quiero, por los dos, mi copa alzar
para olvidar mi obstinacion,
y mas la vuelvo a recordar.
Nostalgias...
de escuchar su risa loca
y sentir junto a mi boca
como un fuego su respiracion...
Angustias...
de sentirme abandonado
y pensar que otro a su lado
pronto, pronto le hablara de amor...
Hermano,
yo no quiero rebajarme
ni pedirle ni llorarle
ni decirle que no puedo mas vivir.
Desde mi triste soledad
vere caer las rosas muertas
de mi juventud.
Gime, bandoneon, tu tango gris
quizas a ti te hiera igual
algun amor sentimental...
Llora mi alma de fantoche
sola y triste en esta noche,
noche negra y sin estrellas.
Si las copas traen consuelo,
aqui estoy con mi desvelo
para ahogarlos otra una vez.
Quiero emborrachar al corazon
para despues poder brindar
por los fracasos de un amor.

Infinite arms - Band of horses

Angela Lindvall
I had a dream
I had a dream
That I was your neighbour
About to give birth
And then everything
Was really hurt
And I was so lonely
I didn't see It's like
Living in a movie
Twisting the plot
My friends and family
The little things I've got, I've got

When my thoughts drift to you

I love the morning
I like to listen
To 4am birdies
Begging to feed
Now there's something here before me
A figure, I think
Isn't there a warning
Or something to drink
My god, my god

When my thoughts drift to you

These mended bones
The storms approach
Ever so slowly
Out on the sea
There's an animal below me
Lack of control
Others came before me
Others to come, to come

Do I - Alice Smith

Katherine Hepburn
I must express the way it feels to ride all day
without a care, conversation and a coffee
I wanna talk about the good things in my life
I wanna try to be alright
I can care about the way love makes me feel
I can care about the good things that are real
I don't wanna have to think about the ways that I'm so bad
I don't wanna have to think about the things that make me sad
Do I
there are things that make me smile every day
the jokes we play, the funny things we say
there is nothing like the joy they can see in my eyes
when i think about the man in my life
I can care about the way he makes me feel
I can care because his love makes me feel real
I don't wanna have to think about the ways that we'll be bad
I don't wanna think about the days that we'll be sad


Dreams - Alice Smith

Vanessa Paradis
When I wake up in the morning time
I like to see you sleeping by my side
I think about the nights we had before
Wanna give you this and more
Let you know I truly adore you

Being with you, loving you this way is so sweet
The way you kiss me, you're making my knees go weak
We could be forever happy, through rain or whatever
Never gonna take the fantasy away from you

I need to be everything you see in your dreams
It seems to me you'll never find another lover good as I, to give you all that you need
And I'll be there to love you each and every night and all through the day

There was a time that I didn't have you around
Back in them days my heart never made a sound
Now it's beating like my head's in the clouds
Never doubt that I'ma always be down to hang around you

You're making me feel so good inside
The way I feel when you love me makes me wanna cry
All these truffle of the things you do, make my love dream come true
Moving me to tell you that I love you

I need to be everything you see in your dreams
It seems to me you'll never find another lover good as I, to give you all that you need
And I'll be there to love you each and every night and all through the day

Dis, quand reviendras-tu? - Jean Louis Aubert

Catherine Deneuve
Voilà combien de jours, voilà combien de nuits,
Voilà combien de temps que tu es reparti
Tu m'as dit: "Cette fois, c'est le dernier voyage"
Pour nos coeurs déchirés, c'est le dernier naufrage
Tu m'as dit : Au printemps, je serai de retour
Le printemps, c'est joli pour se parler d'amour
Nous irons voir ensemble les jardins refleuris
Et déambulerons dans les rues de Paris!"

REFRAIN:
Dis, quand reviendras-tu?
Dis, au moins le sais-tu
Que tout le temps qui passe
Ne se rattrape guère...
Que tout le temps perdu
Ne se rattrape plus!

Le printemps s'est enfui depuis longtemps déjà
Craquent les feuilles mortes, brûlent les feux de bois
À voir Paris si beau en cette fin d'automne
Soudain je m'alanguis, je rêve, je frissonne
Je tangue, je chavire, et comme la rengaine
Je vais, je viens, je vire, je tourne, je me traîne
Ton image me hante, je te parle tout bas
Et j'ai le mal d'amour, et j'ai le mal de toi

REFRAIN

J'ai beau t'aimer encore, j'ai beau t'aimer toujours
J'ai beau n'aimer que toi, j'ai beau t'aimer d'amour
Si tu ne comprends pas qu'il te faut revenir
Je ferai de nous deux mes plus beaux souvenirs
Je reprendrai la route, le monde m'émerveille
J'irai me réchauffer à un autre soleil
Je ne suis pas de ceux qui meurent de chagrin
Je n'ai pas la vertu des femmes de marins

REFRAIN

The curious case of benjamin Button (2008)

My name is Benjamin Button, and I was born under unusual circumstances. While everyone else was agin', I was gettin' younger... all alone. 

Your life is defined by its opportunities... even the ones you miss.
For what it’s worth: It’s never too late, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have strength to start all over again. 
(Benjamin Button)

It's funny how sometimes the people we remember the least make the greatest impression on us. 

Don't worry be happy - Bobby McFerrin

I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances. (Martha Washington)
Diane Kruger





There is this little song I wrote
I hope you learn it note for note
Like good little children
Don't worry, be happy
Listen to what I say
In your life expect some trouble
But when you worry
You make it double
Don't worry, be happy......

Tomorrow...

But there’s something in me that just keeps going on. I think it has something to do with tomorrow - that there is always one, and that everything can change when it comes. (Augusten Burroughs)

Tomorrow - Avril Lavigne

Jean Seberg
And I wanna believe you,
When you tell me that it'll be ok,
Ya I try to believe you,
But I don't

When you say that it's gonna be,
It always turns out to be a different way,
I try to believe you,
Not today, today, today, today, today...

I don't know how to feel,
tomorrow, tomorrow,
I don't know what to say,
tomorrow, tomorrow
Is a different day

It's always been up to you,
It's turning around,
It's up to me,
I'm gonna do what I have to do,
just do

Gimme a lil time,
Leave me alone a little while,
Maybe it's not too late,
not today, today, today, today, today...

I don't know how to feel,
tomorrow, tomorrow,
I don't know what to say,
tomorrow, tomorrow
Is a different day

And I know I'm not ready,
Maybe tomorrow

And I wanna believe you,
When you tell me that it'll be ok,
Ya I try to believe you,
Not today, today, today, today, today...

Tomorrow it may change

Right as rain - Adele

Zooey Deschanel
Who wants to be right as rain
It's better when something is wrong
You get excitement in your bones
And everything you do's a game
When night comes and your all on your own
You can say I chose to be alone
Who want to be right as rain
It's harder when your on top

Cause when hard work don't pay off
And I'm tired there aint no room in my bed
As far as I'm concerned
So wipe that dirty smile off
We won't be making up
I've cried my heart out
And now I've had enough of love

Who wants to be riding high
when you'll just crumble back on down
You give up everything you are
And even then you don't get far
They make believe that everything
Is exactly what it seems
But at least when your at your worst
You know how to feel things

See when hard work don't pay off
And I'm tired there aint no room in my bed
As far as I'm concerned
So wipe that dirty smile off
We won't be making up
I've cried my heart out
And now I've had enough of love

Go ahead and still my heart
To make me cry again
Cause it will never hurt
as much as it did then
When we were both right
And no one had blame
But now I give up
On this endless game

Cause who wants to be right as rain
It's better when something is wrong
i get excitement in your bones
Even thought everything's a strain
When night comes and I'm all on my own
You should know I chose to be alone
So who want to be right as rain
It's harder when your on top

Cause when hard work don't pay off
And I'm tired there aint no room in my bed
As far as I'm concerned
So wipe that dirty smile off
We won't be making up
I've cried my heart out
And now I've had enough of love

Song to the Siren

On the floating, shapeless oceans
I did all my best to smile
til your singing eyes and fingers
drew me loving into your eyes.
And you sang "Sail to me, sail to me;
Let me enfold you."
Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you.
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you here when I was full sail?
Now my foolish boat is leaning, broken love lost on your rocks.
For you sang, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow."
Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow.
I'm as puzzled as a newborn child.
I'm as riddled as the tide.
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or shall I lie with death my bride?
Hear me sing: "Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you."
"Here I am. Here I am, waiting to hold you."
