The song has always appealed to me, because I like the music and  because I can relate to the lyrics that describe betrayal and pain… I still feel betrayed but I am not in pain anymore. And I definitely prefer Jennifer Lopez when she sings in Spanish… :)

Ayer los dos soñabamos con un mundo perfecto
Ayer a nuestros labios les sobraban las palabras
Porque en los ojos nos espiabamos el alma
Y la verdad no vacilaba en tu mirada

Ayer nos prometimos conquistar el mundo entero
Ayer tù me juraste que ese amor seria eterno
Por que una vez equivocarse es suficiente
Para aprender lo que es amar sinceramente

Que hiciste? Hoy destruiste con tu orgullo la esperanza
Hoy empañaste con tu furia mi mirada
Borraste toda nuestra historia con tu rabia
Y confondiste tanto amor que te entregaba
Como permiso para asi romperme el alma

Que hiciste? Nos obligaste a destruir las madrugadas
Y nuestras noches las ahogaron tus palabras
Mis ilusiones acabaron con tus falsas
Se te olvido que era el amor lo que importaba
Y con tus manos derrumbaste nuestra casa

Mañana que amanezca un dia nuevo en mi universo
Mañana no veré tu nombre escrito entre mis versos
No escucharé palabras de arrepentimiento
Ignoraré sin pena tu remordimiento

Mañana olvidaré que ayer yo tu fui tu fiel amante
Mañana ni siquiera habra razones para odiarte
Yo borraré todos tus sueños de mis sueños
Que el viento arrastre para siempre tus recuerdos

Que hiciste? Hoy destruiste con tu orgullo la esperanza
Hoy empañaste con tu furia mi mirada
Borraste toda nuestra historia con tu rabia
Y confondiste tanto amor que te entregaba
Como permiso para si romperme el alma

Que hiciste? Nos obligaste a destruir las madrugadas
Y nuestras noches las ahogaron tus palabras

Mis ilusiones acabaron con tus farsas
Se te olvido que era el amor lo que importaba
Y con tus manos derrumbaste nuestra casa

Y confundiste tanto amor que te entrebaga
Como permiso para asi romperme el alma

Que hiciste? Nos obligaste a destruir las madrugadas
Y nuestras noches las ahogararon tus palabras
Mis ilusiones acabaron con tus farsas
Se te olvido que era el amor lo que importaba
Y con tus manos derrumbaste nuestra casa

There we go, corny and everything, but this is how I feel. Right now I just can’t listen to this song… I start crying… I basically don’t dare to switch on the radio because every song relates to what I feel or what I miss… What a mess! We’ve got this great CD with music we played on our wedding… Just thinking of it makes me cry…

No I cant forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess thats just the way
The story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows
No I cant forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there
But then I let you go
And now its only fair
That I should let you know
What you should know

I cant live
If living is without you
I cant live
I cant give anymore
I cant live
If living is without you
I cant give
I cant give anymore

Well I cant forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess thats just the way
The story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows

I cant live
If living is without you
I cant live
I cant give any more
I cant live
If living is without you
I cant give
I cant give anymore

I love this song, and it’s so true…

Here is the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D80B0HCyQpQ

And here are the lyricsI haven’t ever really found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I’m not in love
But it’s not as if I mind
that your heart ain’t exactly breaking

It’s just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

I’ve always thought
that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone
and live more simply
I have no idea what’s happened to that dream
Cos there’s really nothing left here to stop me

It’s just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

If my life is for rent and I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

While my heart is a shield and I won’t let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won’t even try
Well how can I say I’m alive

If my life is for rent and I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

If my life is for rent and I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

We All Belong

Bigger than the sky above

Music gives me so much love

Higher than you’ll ever be,

Let the rhythm set you free

Make your move

Don’t be ashamed

‘Cause in the end we’re all the same

Don’t care about what others say

Let the rhythm make your way

People come on let’s get together

Let the music play on, play on forever

We can make this world much better

Get up, Get on

We all belong yeah

People come on let’s get together

Let the music play on, play on forever

We can make this world much better

Get up, Get on

We all belong yeah

An ocean of our energy

United we are breaking free

Come on closer, touch my skin

Breathe out, so I can breathe you in

Make your move

Don’t be ashamed

‘Cause in the end we’re all the same

Don’t care about what others say

Let the rhythm make your way

People come on let’s get together

Let the music play on, play on forever

We can make this world much better

Get up, Get on

We all belong yeah

People come on let’s get together

Let the music play on, play on forever

We can make this world much better

Get up, Get on We all belong yeah

I came across the following poem:

“Shadow surprises more than light

Night more than day

Silence too surprises more than words

Will death surprise more than life?”

- Roberto Juarroz (free translation)

You can find more poems from Juarroz on http://amediavoz.com/juarroz.htm

Enjoy!

In my country we’ve got a music style called “small art”. Boudewijn De Groot is one of the biggest names in this style. I like the following lyrics because of the positive message of hope. This is a free translation as I guess that most of you who might read don’t have a clue of Dutch:

 The evening

You don’t need to put your coat on ever again

Or to hope your lights still work

Let the wind outside storm in the dark

As it is warm and light inside

We’ll watch the rain holding hands

I can see the fire of hope and doubt in your eyes

And I know your deepest fear

‘Cause you can’t be sure about everything and everything passes

But I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe in you and me

And when you get up in the morning I’m with you

And I might prepared some tea

And if the sun shines we’ll have a walk in the dunes

And if it rains we’ll go back to bed

To slowly wake up, floating in time

I see the light through the curtains and I know

The past doesn’t provide any security

‘Cause you can’t be sure about everything and everything passes

But I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe in you and me

I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe in you and me

I switch of the lights and it’s dark in the room  
A streetlamp provides some light

And all things in the room become friends going to sleep
Chairs are waiting for breakfast

And tomorrow I’ll wake up with the smell of bread and honey

The golden sun shining on your hair

And I wish goodnight to all things in the room

Tonight we’ll sleep and tomorrow we’ll see

But the things in the room wouldn’t live if it weren’t for you

‘Cause you can’t be sure about everything and everything passes

But I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe in you and me

I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe in you and me

‘Cause you can’t be sure about everything and everything passes

But I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe in you and me

I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe in you and me
