The Sun will Set for You..


Shadow of the Day


I close both locks below the window.

I close both blinds and turn away.

Sometimes solutions aren't so simple.
Sometimes goodbye's the only way.


And the sun will set for you,
The sun will set for you.

And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.


Pink cards and flowers on your window,
Your friends all plead for you to stay.

Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple.
Sometimes goodbye's the only way.


And the sun will set for you,
The sun will set for you.

And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,

And the sun will set for you.
And the shadow of the day,

Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.

And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,


...and the sun will set for you...

Babosa


Don't want to lose my shirt
Don't want to dig the dirt
Don't want you to get hurt
Can't help but I'm a flirt

Don't want to take your drugs
Don't want to be a slug
Don't want to overdress
Don't want to make a mess
Don't want you to confess
Not under duress


 

Don't want be untrue
I want to be with you
Don't want to lose my nerve
Don't want to throw the curve

Don't want to make you swerve
Don't want what I deserve
Don't want to change the frame
Don't want to be a pain
Don't wanna stay the same

Campos de Oro

 
 You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley

You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold

So she took her love
For to gaze a while
Upon the fields of barley,
In his arms she fell
As her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me?
Will you be my love?
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun,
In his jealous sky
As we lay in fields of gold

See the west wind move
Like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley

Feel her body rise
When you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left

We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold


Many years have passed
Since those summer days
Among the fields of barley

See the children run
As the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold

You'll remember me
When the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley

You can tell the sun in his jealous sky

When we walked in fields of gold

..When we walked in fields of gold..

..When we walked in fields of gold..
 


                 


Sting escribió esta canción en Inglaterra cuando se mudó con su familia a una casa rodeada de trigales, en medio del campo. Esta canción cuenta una historia cronológica, habla acerca del noviazgo, matrimonio y finalmente, la muerte. Las dos personas de la canción se encuentran, se conocen, se enamoran (en este momento Sting nos descubre que él nunca había realizado una mayor promesa/compromiso hacia nadie anteriormente) pero él siente que ahora ya está preparado para ello. El niño corriendo es su primer hijo y el cielo celoso es el Cielo en el que se encuentran los ángeles, incluso ellos están celosos de su relación, incluso el mismo Sol. Finalmente, Sting muere y le cuenta a su amada que ellos siempre se recordarán así. Él quiere que cuando ella piense en él, ella le personifique de esta misma manera.. caminando en Campos de Oro...

..i wanted to hear..
..i come with your call..
..i wish you could fall..

1,000,000 miles away


She'll let you in her house
If you come knockin' late at night
She'll let you in her mouth
If the words you say are right
If you pay the price
She'll let you deep inside
But there's a secret garden she hides
 
She'll let you in her car
To go drivin' round
She'll let you into the parts of herself
That'll bring you down
She'll let you in her heart
If you got a hammer and a vise
But into her secret garden, don't think twice
You've gone a million miles
How far'd you get
To that place where you can't remember
and you can't forget
 
She'll lead you down a path
There'll be tenderness in the air
She'll let you come just far enough
So you know she's really there
She'll look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
She's got a secret garden
 
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
 
Will always stay
 
A million miles away

Don't Come Knocking...
 
Esta canción me sobrepasa.. Banda sonora bastante poco conocida de la última película de Wim Wenders que creo que nunca llegó a nuestro país. La canción, para mí la mejor de los tres duetos con Bono.
 
La podría escuchar una vez, y otra.. y otra...
 
A pesar de ser banda sonora, creo que no existe ningún video oficial de la canción, solo el trailer de la película. Sin embargo, por fin alguien ha hecho un montaje de la canción, aquí está:
 
  
 
 
You’re everything I could want
There’s no house You couldn’t haunt
You’re the Key that could keep me in
You’re the Sense, under the skin

I won’t bring you roses
I’ll bring Myself instead
Time only is time
For what is meant
Not what was said

Don’t come knocking
 Don’t come knocking
Don’t come knocking at my door
Don’t come knocking,
 knock, knock, knocking
Don’t come knocking no more

You’re a Dream I could Wake up in
You’re a Fight I shouldn’t try to win
You’re the Door, I’ll always leave Open
You’re the Heart that’s always hopin’

Off a tree-lined avenue,
 in a college made of stone
I’ll sit there not dreaming,
 I would rather live alone

Don’t come knocking
Don’t come knocking
Don’t come knocking at my door
Don’t come knocking
,
 knock, knock, knocking
Don’t come knocking no more

All the stars in the sky
They can’t light our way,
 oh no
All the maps, and all the charts
All the dreams…

Dreams
..won’t..
 ..leave..
 ..you..

..Home..
 
..Home..

Don’t come knocking
Don’t come knocking
Don’t come knocking at my door
Don’t come knocking
Don’t come knocking
Don’t come knocking at my door
Don’t come knocking,
 knock, knock, knocking
Don’t come knocking no more

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!!!

 
Wild Irish Rose
 
In a field by a river
My Love and I did lie
And on my naked shoulder
she too proud to cry
She said that I must leave her
an icy tear she froze
How could I melt the heart
Of a Wild Irish Rose?


Well, a gypsy she has made of me
A servant of the street
And back to bed I've travelled
To taste a love as sweet
Well the Heart it knows no reasons
And reason never knows
As I lie with them I'm thinking
Of a Wild Irish Rose

 
  
 

Well I saw the city of angels
It brought the devil out in me
And Hell's hotel on Sunset
Showed a whore no mercy
As the orange sky was screaming
From the roof I let her go
These are the dizzying heights that brought me
My Wild Irish Rose


Now red is the rose
That she layed on my grave
A life is what she wanted
And a life I surely gave
Like a hundred men before me
They lay lying here in rows
Young men, bloody,
As a Wild Irish Rose

Martin Luther King

  
Sleep..
Sleep tonight..
And may your dreams
be realized
 
If the thunder cloud
passes rain..
So let it rain,
Rain down him,
So let it be..
So let it be..
 
    
 

Sleep ..
Sleep tonight..
And may your dreams
be realized
 
If the thundercloud
passes rain..
So let it rain
..Let it rain..
..Rain on Him..

No Más Lagrimas

 
  
 
 
Silencio..
He oído una voz
es posible que alguien se acuerde de mí..
No puedo, trágica luz
siento tus ojos ocultos en nombres
tantos nombres..

..Aunque el aire no sepa qué ocurre
el viento se lleva lo que acontece..

Silencio..
He oído un rumor
Quería encontrarme un abismo
El miedo justo a tiempo,
sólo un segundo escarbando en vacío,
tan vacío ...

..Aunque el aire no sepa qué ocurre
el viento te arrastrará,
te arrastrará..

No puedo oir tu voz
siempre lejana,
oh, no,
 tan lejana..
No quiero oir tu voz
siempre quebrada
oh, no..

..No puedo dormir,
con esas lágrimas,
goteando encima de mí..
 
..No puedo dormir,
con esas lágrimas,
goteando encima de mí..
 
..No puedo dormir,
con esas lágrimas,
goteando encima de mí..

New Year's Day

 
All the promises we break
From the cradle to the grave..
when all I want is..
 
You
December 31

New Year's Eve..

 
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm, we reach the shore
You gave it all but I want more
And I’m waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live with or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied, my body bruised
She got me with nothing to win
And nothing else to lose

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you
With or without you

 

New Year's Eve..

 
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you

Through the storm, we reach the shore
You gave it all but I want more
And I’m waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live with or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give

And you give yourself away

My hands are tied, my body bruised
She got me with nothing to win
And nothing else to lose

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you
With or without you

 

December 25

it's Christmas...

... Baby Please Come Home!

The snow's coming down
I'm watching it fall 
Lots of people around
Baby, please come home

The church bells in town
They're ringing a song
What a happy sound
Baby, please come home

They're singing "Deck the Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

Pretty lights on the tree
I'm watching 'em shine
You should be here with me
Baby, please come home

Baby, please come home!
Baby, please come home!

They're singing "Deck the Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

If there was a way
I'd hold back these tears
But it's Christmas day
Baby, please come home 

Baby, please come home!
Baby, please come home!
Baby, please come home!

Baby, please come home
Baby, please come home

Algunas veces no puedes conseguirlo por ti mismo

 
Una frase inteligente.. que no puede ser mas verdadera.. Llevo todo el dia con esta canción en la mente, sintiendo un poco de lo que él pudo sentir al escribirla. Otros motivos muy diferentes (agosto 2001) pero mismo resultado y mismas sensaciones.
 
Se me hace tan dificil ignorarte..

Con nombre de guerra

 
Entra despacio
Que nadie oiga tus pasos
mientras tanto
si los nervios no traicionan
todo irá bien

Dejemos los besos
para los enamorados
y pensemos en lo nuestro
que por eso te he pagado
aunque esta noche
sea solo mercancia para mi

Dejo en tus manos
lo que hemos acordado
y la lluvia de hace un rato
ahora solo..
necesito descansar
y dejemos que los sueños
se apoderen del deseo
recordemos que en lo nuestro
se me olvida un momento
aunque esta noche...
sean solo unos billetes para ti

Pienso en los años
que llevas guerreando
con un nombre por bandera
ahora solo quiero oirlo una vez mas
y dejemos que lo cierto
sea lo que imaginamos
recordemos que lo nuestro...
todavia no ha acabado
aunque por esta noche (por esta noche)
nos podemos despedir

October

 

October
And the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear
What do I care

October
And kingdoms rise
And kingdoms fall
But you go on...and on...

Quien montará tus caballos salvajes?

 
¿Quien montará tus caballos salvajes?
¿Quién se ahogará en tu mar azul?
¿Quién probará tus besos de agua salada?
¿Quién caerá a tus pies?
 
 
¿quién ocupará mi lugar?

Can't Help Falling in Love with You

 
 
 
Wise men say
 Only fools rush in
but I can't help falling in love
.. with You.

Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin?
If I can't help falling in love
..with You.

Like a river flows to the sea
So it goes,
Some things were meant to be

Take my hand,
 Take my whole life too,
Cuz I can't help falling in love
with You.

 I can't help falling in love with You
I can't help falling in love with You

i will not forsake the colours that you bring

 
No se que decir.. estoy maravillado, anonadado, sorprendido. La verdad, pocas veces en mi vida, por no decir ninguna, he recibido tantas muestras de afecto juntas. La camiseta es increible, jamás se me hubiese ocurrido, y leer lo que pone en ella, sencillamente, es lo mas increible de todo. De verdad, estoy alucinando, eso hace que todas las cosas que he intentado organizar se queden en el mas absoluto de los discretos.
 
Me parece increible, impresionante, pero al pensar en el motivo de todo esto, vuelve otra vez la melancolía. He visto muchas despedidas pasar, muchísima buena gente que vino y se fue, podría dar muchísimos nombres (Juanma, Laura, Jorge Garcia, Lightman...) y me entraban escalofrios al pensar que un día yo también podría estar en ese lugar.
 
Ese día ha sido hoy.
 
Va a haber cambios, muchos cambios, supuestamente para mejor, pero no puedo olvidar el perder un poco de todo lo que dejo atrás. Seguiremos en contacto, suena bien. Es esperanzador. Ahora mismo es el consuelo que tengo.

Queria poner una canción, no es de despedidas (hace tiempo pensaba en Kite) pero no, no tiene nada que ver. Es una canción melancólica pero no triste, que describe los paisajes de Estados Unidos (el delta del Mississippi, El valle de la Muerte, Ghost Ranch  etc etc)
 
Mi favorita del Rattle & Hum
 
 
  
 
 
Heartland

See the sun rise over her skin
Don't change it
See the sun rise over her skin
Dawn changes everything…

Everything…

And the Delta Sun

Burns Bright and Violet

Mississippi and the cotton wool heat
Sixty-six a highway speaks
Of deserts dry
Of cool green valleys
Gold and silver veins
Of the shining cities

In this heartland
In this heartland soil
In this heartland
Heaven knows this is a heartland
Heartland...heartland

See the sun rise over her skin
She feels like water in my hand
Freeway like a river cuts through this land
Into the side of love
Like a burning spear
And the poison rain
Brings a flood of fear
Through the ghost-ranch hills
Death valley waters
In the towers of steel
Belief goes on and on

In this heartland
In this heartland soil
In this heartland
Heaven knows this is a heartland
Heartland...heaven knows this is a heartland
Heartland...heartland
Heartland...heaven's day here in the heartland
Heart...

Pérdidas

 
¿Por qué tengo la sensación de que si salgo por esa puerta lo perderé todo y no lo volveré a recuperar?
 
¿Por qué tengo la sensación de que debería quedarme más tiempo para apurar hasta el final?
 
¿Por qué tengo la sensación de que hago mal en irme y no tengo nada más valioso que hacer al llegar a casa?
 
¿Por qué pienso que cuanto más insista, más posibilidades hay?
 
¿Por qué pienso que vas a venir en cualquier momento a buscarme para contarme algo extraordinario?
 
Por favor, no me veas, no me hagas caso, no me contestes, no me dirijas la palabra.
 
No se que pasa contigo, pero cada día caigo más y más. Cuanto me gustaria que no hubiese sido así.
 

Goodbye

 
Mis ojos brillan con tu cara.. y ahora que no te veo se apagan..

Por verte sonreir

 
Hacer sonreir a una persona es muy fácil. Yo siempre intento hacerlo con todas las personas de mi entorno ¿por que nadie mas lo hace?
 
A veces me gusta simplemente decir idioteces para ver las caras que ponen, algunas sonrisas son realmente bonitas y me gusta recordarlas.
 
Hoy estoy sentimental (mas bien como siempre que escribo aqui), me estoy acordando de una amiga mia a la que hace mucho tiempo que no veo. El problema no está en ti, está en mi, siempre lo ha estado y es muy dificil de cambiar.
 
Este video no ayuda a que cambie mi ánimo, es mas.. lo agudiza. Algunas veces intento olvidarlo, pero siempre vuelve de nuevo..

Is there a time for keeping your head down?

 
 Hasta siempre, Luciano Pavarotti 
 
 
    
 
 
"Miss Sarajevo"

Is there a time for keeping a distance?
A time to turn your eyes away
Is there a time for keeping your head down?
For getting on with your day

Is there a time for kohl and lipstick?
A time for cutting hair
Is there a time for high street shopping?
To find the right dress to wear

Here she comes
Heads turn around

Here she comes
To take her crown

Is there a time to walk for cover?
A time for kiss and tell
Is there a time for different colors?
Different names you find it hard to spell

Is there a time for first communion
A time for East 17
Is there a time to turn the mecca?
Is there a time to be a beauty queen?

Here she comes
Beauty plays the crown
Here she comes
Surreal in her crown
 

Dici che il fiume
trova la via al mare
E come il fiume
giungerai a me
Oltre i confini
e le terre assetate
Dici che come fiume
come fiume
L'amore giungera
L'amore
E non so pi pregare
E nell'amore non so pi sperare
E quell'amore non so pi aspettare
 

Is there a time for tying ribbons?
A time for Christmas trees
Is there a time for laying tables?
When the night is set to freeze
