Shakira - Tú



Te regalo mi cintura
Y mis labios para cuando quieras besar
Te regalo mi locura
Y las pocas neuronas que quedan ya

Mis zapatos desteñidos
El diario en el que escribo
Te doy hasta mis suspiros
Pero no te vayas mas

Porque eres tú mi sol
La fe con que vivo
La potencia de mi voz
Los pies con que camino
Eres tu amor
Mis ganas de reír
El adiós que no sabré decir
Porque nunca podre vivir sin tí

Si algún dia decidieras
Alejarte nuevamente de aqui
Cerraria cada puerta
Para que nunca pudieras salir

Te regalo mis silencios
Te regalo mi nariz
Yo te doy hasta mis huesos
Pero quédate aqui

Porque eres tú mi sol
La fe con que vivo
La potencia de mi voz
Los pies con que camino
Eres tu amor
Mis ganas de reír
El adiós que no sabré decir
Porque nunca podre vivir sin tí

As Heaven Is Wide - Garbage

Nothing that you say will release you
Nothing that you pray would forgive you
Nothing's what your words mean to me

Something that you did will destroy me
Something that you said will stay with me long after you're dead and gone

If flesh could crawl, my skin would fall from off my bones and run away from here

As far from God, as heaven is wide

As far from God, as angels can fly

If Holy is as Holy does
This house will burn straight down to Hell
Take its conscience with it as it falls

Nothing said could change the fact
My trust was blind, you broke the pact
If God's my witness, God must be blind

If flesh could crawl
My skin would fall
From off my bones
And run away from here i wish

As far from God
As heaven is wide
As far from God
As angels can fly

I wish...I wish...I wish...I wish

Take it back?
I dare you take it back !
No you can't ?
You should have thought of that !
What's inside a man that goes so wrong ?!

Choke on guilt that's far too good for you!
Say one word I'll laugh and bury you!
And leave you in the place where you left me

If flesh could crawl
My skin would fall
From off my bones
And run away from here

As far from God
As heaven is wide
As far from God
As angels can fly

I wish I could fly as angels can fly

I wish, I wish...

Sans logique - Mylène Farmer

Si Dieu nous fait a son image
Si telle est sa volonté
Il aurait dû prendre ombrage
Du malin mal habité
Qui s’immisce et se partage
L’innocence immaculée
De mon âme d’enfant sage
Je voudrais comprendre…

De ce paradoxe
Je ne suis complice
Souffrez qu’une autre
En moi se glisse
Car sans logique
Je me quitte
Aussi bien satanique
Qu’angélique


Si chaque fois qu’en bavardage
Nous nous laissons dériver
Je crois bien que d’héritage
Mon silence est meurtrier
Vous me découvrez blafarde
Fixée à vous yeux si tendres
Je pourrais bien par mégarde
De ciseaux les fendre

De ce paradoxe
Je ne suis complice
Souffrez qu’une autre
En moi se glisse
Car sans logique
Je me quitte
Aussi bien satanique
Qu’angélique…

In the mind of a good soldier

Metal Heart - Garbage

I wish I had a metal heart
I could cross the line
I wish that I was half as good
As you think I am

But now that we know for sure they’re telling lies
When they say no one gets hurt and therefor nobody dies
You know it’s hard to believe anything that you hear
They say the world is round

I wish I was as big as you
You’d have to tell the truth
I’d be nothing you could hurt
Nothing you could use

But now that we know for sure
They’re telling lies when they say
No one gets hurt and therefor nobody dies
You know it’s hard to believe anything that you hear
They say the world is round

The world is round?

I want to be dependable, I want to be courageous and good
I want to be faithful so that i can be heroic and true
I want to be a friend you can rely on, you can lean on and trust
I want to understand so i can forgive and be willing to love

I wish I wasn’t flesh and blood
I would not be scared
Of bullets built with me in mind
For then I could be saved

My sweet lord take care of me for I think I’m done
Kiss my mother on her cheek and lay my burden down

Lay my burden down...

But now that we know for sure
They’re telling lies when they say
No one gets hurt and therefor nobody dies
You know it’s hard to believe anything that you hear
They say the world is round

The world is round?

My Lagan Love

When rainy nights are soft with tears,
And Autumn leaves are falling,
I hear his voice on tumbling waves
And no one there to hold me.

At evening's fall he watched me walk.
His heart was mine.
But my love was young and felt
The world was not cruel but kind.

Where Lagan's light fell on the hour,
I saw him far below me
Just as the morning calmed the storm
With no one there to hold him.

My loves have come, my loves have gone,
And nothing's left to warm me,
Save for a voice on the travelling wind,
And a glimpse of a face at morning.

We need to talk...

I was hoping
Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie - Alanis Morissette


As we were talking outside it was cold we were shivering yet warmed by the subject matter my wife is in the next room we’ve been having troubles you know please don’t tell her or anyone but I need to talk to somebody
You said “wouldn’t it be a shame if I knew how great I was five minutes before I died I’d be filled with such regret before I took my last breath” and I said “ you’re willing to tell me this now and you’re not going to die any time soon”
And I said I haven’t been eating chicken or meat or anything and you said yes
But you’ve been wearing leather
and laughed and I said we’re at the top of the food chain and yes you’re still a fine woman and I cringed

I was hoping I was hoping we could heal each other
I was hoping I was hoping we could be raw together


We left the restaurant where the headwaiter (in his 70’s) said “good-bye sir thank you for your business sir you’re successful and established sir we like the frequency with which you dine her sir and your money” and when I walked by he said ‘‘thank you too dear” I was all pigtails and cords and there was a day when I would’ve said something like “hey dude I could buy and sell this place so kiss it” I too once thought I was owed something

I was hoping I was hoping we could challenge each other
I was hoping I was hoping we could crack each other up

I too thought that when proved wrong I lost somehow
I too once thought that life was cruel

It’s a cycle really you think I’m withdrawing and guilt tripping you I think you’re insensitive
And I don’t feel heard and I said do you believe we are fundamentally judgmental? Fundamentally evil?
And you said yes I said I don’t believe in revenge in right or wrong good or bad you said
“Well what about the man that I saw handcuffed in the emergency room bleeding after beating his kid
And she threw a shoe at his head”

I think what he did was wrong and I would’ve had a hard time feeling compassion for him
I had to watch my tone
for fear of having you feel judged.

I was hoping I was hoping we could dance together
I was hoping I was hoping we could be creamy together

Running up that Hill - Kate bush

It doesn't hurt me.
Do you wanna feel how it feels?
Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal i'm making...?

You....It's you and me...

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God
And get him to swap our places

I'd be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.

Say if I only could...

You don't want to hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware, I'm tearing you asunder.
There is thunder in our hearts.

Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me we both matter, don't we...?

You...It's you and me...

It's you and me, you won't be unhappy...

If I only could,
I'd make a deam with God
And get him to swap our places

I'd be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.

If I only could...

You...It's you and me...

It's you and me, you won't be unhappy...

Come on, baby! Come on, darling!
Let me steal this moment from you now.

Come on, angel! Come on, come on, darling!
Let's exchange the experience now!

If I only could,
I'd make a deam with God
And get him to swap our places.

I'd be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems...

If I only could;
I'd make a deam with God
And get him to swap our places.

I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems...

See if I could make a deal with God and get him to swap places.

And if i only could be running that hill with no problems.

Kate Bush - Waking the witch

A good morning, ma’am. your early morning call.

You must wake up…Wake up…Wake up, man.

Wake up, child! Pay attention!

Come on, wake up! Wake up, love.

We should make the night, but see your little lights alive.
Stop that lying and a-sleeping in bed…get up.

Ma needs a shower. get out of bed!
Little light...

Can you not see that little light up there?
Where?
There...
Where?
Over here!

You still in bed? Wake up, sleepy-head!

We are of the going water and the gone. We are of water in the holy land of water.

Don’t you know you’ve kept him waiting?

Look who’s here to see you!

Listen to me, listen to me, baby!
Listen, baby!
Help me!
Baby! Help me, help me! Listen to me, talk to me!


You won’t burn.
Red, red roses.
You won’t bleed.
Pinks and posies.

Confess to me, girl!
Red, red roses.
Go down!

Spiritus sanctus in nomine. Spiritus sanctus in nomine. Spiritus sanctus in nomine. Spiritus sanctus in nomine.

Poor little thing...
Red, red roses.
The blackbird!
Pinks and posies.

Wings in the water.
Red, red roses.
Go down! Go down!
Pinks and posies.

Deus et dei domino. Deus et dei domino. Deus et dei domino. Deus et dei domino.

What is it, child?

Bless me, father, bless me, father, for I have sinned.
Red, red roses.
Help me! Listen to me!
Red, red rose.
Convince them! Talk to them!


I question your innocence!
Help this blackbird!
She’s a witch...
There's a stone around my leg.

Uh! Damn you, woman!
Help this blackbird!
There’s a stone around my leg.

What say you, good people?
Guilty! guilty! guilty!


Help this blackbird!
I am responsible for your actions.

Not guilty…

Help this blackbird!

Wake up the witch.

Get out of the waves! Get out of the water!

L'un part, l'autre reste (Charlotte Gainsbourg)

Ont-ils oublié leurs promesses
Au moindre rire au moindre geste?

Les grands amours n’ont plus adresse
Quand l’un s’en va et l’autre reste.

N’est-il pêché que de jeunesse?
N’est-il passé que rien ne laisse?
Les grands amours sont en détresse?
Lorsque l’un part et l’autre reste.

Reste chez toi
Vieillis sans moi
Ne m’appelle plus
Efface-moi
Déchire mes lettres
Et reste là
Demain peut-être, tu reviendras

Gestes d’amour et de tendresse
Tels deux oiseaux en mal d’ivresse
Les grands d’amours n’ont plus d’adresse
Quand l’un s’en va l’autre reste.

Ont-ils chagrins dès qu’ils vous blessent?
Au lendemain de maladresse
Les grands amours sont en détresse
Lorsque l’un part et l’autre reste.

Des tristes adieux
Que d’illusion
Si c’est un jeu
Ce sera non
Rends-moi mes lettres
Et reste là
Demain peut-être,tu comprendras

Des tristes adieux
Que d’illusion
Si c’est un jeu
Ce sera non
Rends-moi mes lettres
Et reste là
Demain peut-être,tu comprendras

Ils n’oublieront pas leurs promesses
Ils s’écriront aux mêmes adresses
Les grands amours se reconnaissent
Lorsque l’un part et l’autre reste.

Texte formidable de Natalie Reims, à qui j'aimerais quand même dire que "amour" est feminin quand le mot est utilisé au pluriel. Pour la fille d'un grand academicien, quand même...

Generous Palmstroke

I am strong in his hands
I am beyond me
On my own I'm human
And I do faults

I do confess
I feel you trickeling
Down my shoulders
From above

I turn myself in
I give myself up
I Volunteer
You own me : i'm yours

You have to trust it
I'm eternally yours
All that i gave them
I gave to you

So needy of comfort
But too raw to be embraced
Undo this privacy
And put me in my place

A generous palmstroke
The hugest of hugs
Undo this privacy
Embrace
Embrace me

Embrace...Embrace me...

I am strong in his hands
I am beyond me
On my own I'm human
And I do faults

She is strong in his hands
She is beyond her
On her own she is human
And she does faults

She is strong in his hands
She is strong in his hands
She is strong in his hands

She is strong in his hands

Lyrics by Björk
