Unending Love by Rabindranath Tagore

by Rabindranath Tagore

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times…

In life after life, in age after age, forever.

My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,

That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,

In life after life, in age after age, forever.

Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, its age-old pain,

Its ancient tale of being apart or together.

As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,

Clad in the light of a pole-star piercing the darkness of time:

You become an image of what is remembered forever.

You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.

At the heart of time, love of one for another.

We have played along side millions of lovers, shared in the same

Shy sweetness of meeting, the same distressful tears of farewell-

Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.

Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you

The love of all man’s days both past and forever:

Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life.

The memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours –

And the songs of every poet past and forever.

No Te Rindas / Don't Give Up (Mario Benedetti)

Don't Give Up 

by Mario Benedetti

Don't give up, you still have time

to reach up and start anew,

Accept your shadows,

Bury your fears,

Free your burdens,

Fly again.

Don't give up, that's what life is

Continue the journey,

Follow your dreams,

Unstuck time,

Move the rubble,

And uncover the sky.

Don't give up, please don't give way,

Even if the cold burns,

Even if fear bites,

Even if the sun sets,

And the wind goes silent,

There is still fire in your soul

There is still life in your dreams.

Because life is yours and yours is the desire

Because you have loved it and because I love you

Because wine exists and love is true.

Because there are no wounds that time doesn't cure.

To open the doors,

Take away the locks,

Abandon the walls that have protected you,

To live life and accept the challenge

Get back laughter,

Practice a song,

Lower the guard and extend the hands

Open the wings

And try again,

Celebrate life and take back the skies.

Don't give up, please don't give way,

Even if the cold burns,

Even if fear bites,

Even if the sun sets,

And the wind goes silent,

There is still fire in your soul

There is still life in your dreams.

Because every day is a new beginning, 

Because this is the hour and the best moment.

Because you are not alone, because I love you.

No te rindas

No te rindas, aún estás a tiempo

De alcanzar y comenzar de nuevo,

Aceptar tus sombras,

Enterrar tus miedos,

Liberar el lastre,

Retomar el vuelo.

No te rindas que la vida es eso,

Continuar el viaje,

Perseguir tus sueños,

Destrabar el tiempo,

Correr los escombros,

Y destapar el cielo.

No te rindas, por favor no cedas,

Aunque el frío queme,

Aunque el miedo muerda,

Aunque el sol se esconda,

Y se calle el viento,

Aún hay fuego en tu alma

Aún hay vida en tus sueños.

Porque la vida es tuya y tuyo también el deseo

Porque lo has querido y porque te quiero

Porque existe el vino y el amor, es cierto.

Porque no hay heridas que no cure el tiempo.

Abrir las puertas,

Quitar los cerrojos,

Abandonar las murallas que te protegieron,

Vivir la vida y aceptar el reto,

Recuperar la risa,

Ensayar un canto,

Bajar la guardia y extender las manos

Desplegar las alas

E intentar de nuevo,

Celebrar la vida y retomar los cielos.

No te rindas, por favor no cedas,

Aunque el frío queme,

Aunque el miedo muerda,

Aunque el sol se ponga y se calle el viento,

Aún hay fuego en tu alma,

Aún hay vida en tus sueños

Porque cada día es un comienzo nuevo,

Porque esta es la hora y el mejor momento.

Porque no estás solo, porque yo te quiero.

No me quedan ganas de sentir...

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 
que hoy estoy mejor sin ti. 

Voy
de nuevo recordando lo que soy
sabiendo lo que das y lo que doy
en mi no queda espacio 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 
que hoy estoy mejor sin ti, 
que hoy estoy mejor sin ti. 

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

Otro Crimen Quedará Sin Resolver...

CRIMEN

GUSTAVO CERATI

La espera me agotó 
no se nada de vos 
dejaste tanto en mí 
En llamas me acosté 
y en un lento degradé 
supe que te perdí 

¿Qué otra cosa puedo hacer? 
si no olvido, moriré 
y otro crimen quedará 
otro crimen quedará 
sin resolver...

Don't bother be unkind.

Don't Bother.  

Shakira. 

...So don't bother
I won't die of deception
I promise you won't ever see me cry
Don't feel sorry

Don't bother
I'll be fine
But she's waiting
The ring you gave to her will lose its shine
So don't bother, be unkind

"In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.."...

My dear,

In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love.

In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile.

In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm.

I realized, through it all, that…

In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.

And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.

Truly yours,

Albert Camus

Lo Mejor Pa Ti ( Letra) Chambao Abril 2012 ( with translation)

Lo Mejor Pa Ti
Chambao.

2012

No, no sé que es lo que quieres decir

tampoco sé lo que esperas de mi

y entre tanto sigo aaqui

me quedo aquí.

Agáchate, cuida que esta pena

no te dure demasiado

sorpréndete, y aprende a volar

intenta volar en los espacios cerraos

recuérdate que lo que sube

rápido cae en picao

Que me duele verte así

y no se ya como ayudarte

que quiero lo mejor pa ti

y quisiera poder abrazarte

Que me duele verte así

ya no se ni como ayudarte

que quiero lo mejor pa ti

y quisiera poder abrazarte

abrazarte

Si, si la cabeza no para de girar

si sientes que la fuerza se te va

y siempre tiene gana de escapar, de escapar.

Anímate, a crecer en la vida

en esta vida que te ha tocao

reinvétate y siente la alegria

de los que están a tu lao

levántate sin echar cuenta

de las veces que has tropezao

Que me duele verte así

ya no se ni como ayudarte

que quiero lo mejor pa ti

y quisiera poder abrazarte

Que me duele verte así

ya no se ni como ayudarte

que quiero lo mejor pa ti

y quisiera poder abrazarte

abrazarte

Y quisiera, y quisiera poder

ayy abrazarte, abrazarte

Que me duele verte así

ya no se ni como ayudarte

que quiero lo mejor pa ti

y quisiera poder abrazarte

Que me duele verte así

y no se ya como ayudarte

que quiero lo mejor pa ti

y quisiera poder abrazarte

abrazarte.

The Best For You

No, I don´t know what you mean

And I don´t know what you want from me either

And in the meantime I am here

I remain here.

Crouch down, be careful that this pain

Doesn´t last too long

Surprise yourself and learn to fly

Try to fly in close spaces

Remember that everything that goes up

Comes down quickly.

That it hurts to see you like this

And I don´t even know how to help you

That I want the best for you

And I would like to be able to hold you

That it hurts to see you like this

And I don´t even know how to help you

That I want the best for you

And I would like to be able to hold you

If your head doesn´t stop spinning around

And if you feel that your strength is gone

If you always feel the need to escape, to escape.

Buck up to grow in this life

In this life that you have got.

Reinvent yourself and feel the happiness

Of those who are around you

Get up and walk without thinking about

The times that you have stumbled.

That it hurts to see you like this

And I don´t even know how to help you

That I want the best for you

And I would like to be able to hold you

That it hurts to see you like this

And I don´t even know how to help you

That I want the best for you

And I would like to be able to hold you

And I would like to be able

to hold you, to hold you

That it hurts to see you like this

And I don´t even know how to help you

That I want the best for you

And I would like to be able to hold you

That it hurts to see you like this

And I don´t even know how to help you

That I want the besNo, I don´t know what you mean

Every Woman Deserves...

"Every woman deserves a man that calls her baby, kisses her like he means it, holds her tight like he don't want to let go, doesn't make her jealous with other women, instead makes other women jealous of her, is not afraid to let his friends know how he really feels about her, and makes sure she knows how much he loves her".

What else is Love?

On Uncompleted Tasks...

"Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task."

~William James~

My October Blues

October Blues by littlestar7308 featuring a bradley vera bag

Love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite in fear; the strength so strong mere force is feebleness: the truth more first than sun, more last than star...

E.E. Cummings

Love, Chicken & Stars

Here. Want some? 

Just... Don't.

Don't smile at me

I might think you like me
Don´t tell me about the things you´re hiding in your pocket
You know how curious I am
Don´t show me the candy you won´t give me
My mouth keeps watering for it
Don´t speak to me in that way
I may confuse your intentions
Don´t try to make me feel better when I'm sad
I might get used to it
Don´t hold me when I´m sleeping
I'm beginning to like it
Don´t show me that face anymore
Haven´t I told you how much I love it?
Just...don't touch my heart in that way
If you really don´t want it.
