open, dancing hearts

 
 
Dance, my princess, dance.
Show the whole world, what this world could be like.
You're my best friend, you're my heroe.

And, if you'd like, we'll rock the house,
I'll seat there quite as a mouse
while you decorate my house.

Dance, my princess, dance.
With the heart open, show all the hearts what they could be like.
Dance, and take me with you.

A young couple, dancin' while they're waitin' for the bus.

Love Is Stronger Than Death == The The

Love, love, love
Love, love, love

Me and my friend were walking
In the cold light of mourning
Tears may blind the eyes
But the soul is not deceived
In this world even winter ain't what it seems

Here come the blue skies
Here comes springtime
When the rivers run high and the tears run dry
When everything that dies
Shall rise

Love, love, love
Is stronger than death
Love, love, love
Is stronger than death

In our lives we hunger
For things we cannot touch
All the thoughts unuttered
All the feelings unexpressed
Play upon our hearts like the mist upon our breath

But awoken by grief, our spirits speak
"How could you believe
That the life within the seed
That grew arms that reached
And a heart that beat
And lips that smiled
And eyes that cried
Could ever die?"

Here come the blue skies
Here comes springtime
When the rivers run high & the tears run dry
When everything that dies
Shall rise

Love, love, love
Is stronger than death
Love, love, love
Is stronger than death.

Love, love, love
Is so much stronger than death

a great adventure

 
 
Ich schliesse die Augen.

Und ich sehe Schneewittchen in einer Schneelandschaft, im Mondlicht reitet sie auf einem schwarzen Pferd. Neben den Zwei, galoppiert ein Schimmel über die Felder in die Nacht hinein. Schneewittchen fühlt sich frei wie schon lange nicht mehr, das Herz erfüllt vom Rausch des Ritts, die Lungen durchlüftet von kühler Klarheit, die Sinne geschärft und hell wach. Die Nacht wachtet auf sie. Und Schneewittchen reitet hinein im Bewusstsein, sie wird das Beste daraus machen, jeden Atemzug voll auskosten können, der Magie des Mondlichts gerecht werden. Ihr Herz, jede Zelle ihres Körpers sagt ihr, sie wird sich, zusammen mit ihren 2 Pferden, in den nächsten Tag hinüberretten. Und zwar durch diesen Ritt bereichert. Schneewittchen ist kein bisschen müde. Sie wird sich nicht mehr in Dornröschen verwandeln. Genug geschlafen.

Ich lasse meine Augen geschlossen.
Mit einem Lächeln im Gesicht schlafe ich ein.

Our thoughts compressed.
Which makes us blessed.


Girlfriend Is Better == Talking Heads

I . . . who took the money?
Who took the money away?
I . . . it’s always showtime
Here at the edge of the stage
I, i, i, wake up and wonder
What was the place, what was the name?
We wanna wait, but here we go again...

I . . . takes over slowly
But doesn’t last very long
I . . . no need to worry
Evr’ything’s under control
O - u - t but no hard feelings
What do you know? take you away
We’re being taken for a ride again
I got a girlfriend that’s better than that
She has the smoke in her eyes
She’s moving up, going right through my house
She’s ginna give me surprise
Better than this, know that it’s right
I think you can if you like
I git a girlfriend with bows in her hair
And nothing is better than that

Down, down in the basement
We hear the sound of machines
I, i, I’m driving in circles
Come to my senses sometimes
Why, why, why, why start it over?
Nothing was lost, everthing’s free
I don’t care how impossible it seems

Somebody calls you but you cannot hear
Get closer to be far away
Only one look and that’s all that we need
Maybe that’s all that it takes
All that it takes, all that it takes
All that it takes, all that it takes
I got a girlfriend that’s betther than that
And she goes wherever she likes. (there she
goes...)

I got a girlfriend that’s better than that
Now everyone’s getting involved
She’s moving up going right through my heart
We might not ever get caught
Going right through (try to stay cool) going
through, staying cool
I got a girlfriend that’s better than that
And nothing is better than you

I got a girlfriend thats better that this
And you don’t remember at all
As we get older and stop making sense
You won’t find her waiting long
Stop making sense, stop making sense...stop
making sense, making sense
I got a girlfriend that’s better than that
And nothing is better that this
( is it? )


 

Valentinstag

 
 

Weich ist stärker als hart,
Wasser ist stärker als Fels,
Liebe ist stärker als Gewalt.
Hermann Hesse

 
 

Liebe besteht nicht darin, dass man einander anschaut,
sondern dass man gemeinsam in dieselbe Richtung blickt.

Una bella donna
non è colei di cui si lodano le gambe o le braccia,
ma quella il cui aspetto complessivo è di tale bellezza
da togliere la possibilità di ammirare le singole parti.
Lucio Anneo Seneca

ed ecco il mistero

 
Balla Balla Ballerino == Lucio Dalla

Balla balla ballerino
tutta la notte e al mattino
non fermarti.
Balla su una tavola tra due montagne
e se balli sulle onde dei mare io ti vengo a guardare.

Prendi il cielo con le mani
vola in alto più degli aeroplani
non fermarti.
Sono pochi gli anni forse sono solo giorni
e stan finendo tutti in fretta e in fila
non ce n'è uno che ritorni.

Balla non aver paura
se la notte è fredda e scura
non pensare
alla pistola che hai puntato contro.
Balla alla luce di mille sigarette e di una luna
che ti illumina a giorno.

Balla il mistero di questo mondo che brucia in fretta
quello che ieri era vero, dammi retta, non sarà vero domani.
Ferma con quelle tue mani il treno Palermo-Francoforte,
per la mia commozione
c'è un ragazzo al finestrino,
gli occhi verdi che sembrano di vetro
corri e ferma quel treno
fallo tornare indietro.

Balla anche per tutti i violenti
veloci di mano e coi coltelli,
accidenti.
Se capissero vedendoti ballare
di essere morti da sempre
anche se possono respirare.

Vola e balla sul cuore malato
illuso, sconfitto, poi abbandonato
senza amore
dell'uomo che confonde la luna con il sole
senza avere coltelli in mano
ma nel suo povero cuore.

Allora vieni angelo benedetto
prova a mettere i piedi sul suo petto
e stancarti
a ballare al ritmo del motore
e alle grandi parole di una canzone, canzone d'amore.

Ecco il mistero,
sotto un cielo di ferro e di gesso
l'uomo riesce ad amare lo stesso
e ama davvero
senza nessuna certezza
che commozione, che tenerezza!


 

haben geben nehmen

 
 
Liebe verausgabt sich nicht.
Je mehr du gibst, desto mehr bleibt dir.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

 

the rules do NOT apply

 
Man With A Gun == Jerry Harrison

A pretty girl, a pretty girl
Can walk anywhere
All doors open for her
Like a breath of fresh air,
Her beauty, it precedes her
Wrapped in her beauty,
Everywhere, she is welcome
First class on the plane,
Closed door of the club,
All faces turn, all faces turn
And they come alive,
With a desire to protect her
Nothing can interfere
With a dream of dreams so near
And when she caught my eye,
We were those for whom
The rules do not apply.

Chorus:

Pretty girl young man old man
Man with a gun
Two people in love (Two people in love)
The rules do not apply
To people in love
Pretty girl young man old man
Man with a gun
Two people in love (Two people in love)
The rules do not apply
To people in love

On a wire, a high wire
She likes to balance on a knife
She says on the wire,
That is living, oh,
You can forget the rest
On the wire, that is living,
Each step must be in place
So don't look down,
One false move is all it takes.
We'd rather risk it all;
Roll the dice and let them fall
They say we can't survive
But a life like this keeps me alive
Doesn't matter where we are,
I still say the rules do not apply
