Dont Give Up ~ Willie Nelson & Sinead O'Connor

Willie Nelson & Sinead O'Connor - Dont Give Up
In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail

No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose

Don't give up 'cos you have friends
Don't give up you're not beaten yet
Don't give up
I know you can make it good

Though I saw it all around
I never thought that I could be affected
I thought that we would be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn

Don't give up you still have us
Don't give up we don't need much of anything
Don't give up
'Cause somewhere there's a place
There's a place where we belong

'Got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
I'm gonna stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river's flowing
That river's flowing

Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs

Don't give up 'cause you have friends
Don't give up now we're proud of who you are
Don't give up you know it's never been easy
Don't give up
'Cause I believe there's a place
There's a place where we belong

风吹落最后一片叶　
feng chui luo zui hou yi pian ye
The wind blew down the last leaf
我的心也飘着雪
Wo de xin ye piao zhe xue
And my heart is snowing.

爱只能往回忆里堆叠　
ai zhi neng wang hui yi li dui die
Love can only return to the start and begin again
oh~　给下个季节
oh~ gei xia ge ji jie
OH~ for the next season.

忽然间树梢冒花蕊　
hu ran jian shu shao mao hua rui
Suddenly a seedling sprouts
我怎么会都没有感觉?
wo zen mo hui dou mei you gan jue?
How could I have not felt it?

oh~　整条街　都是恋爱的人　
oh~ zhen tiao jie dou shi lian ai de ren
OH~ the streets are filled with lovers
我独自走在暖风的夜
wo du zi sou zai nuan feng de ye
I walk in this warmth alone.

多想要向过去告别
duo xiang yao xiang guo qu gao bie
I really want to go ober and end it.
当季节不停更迭　oh~
dang ji jie bu ting geng die
But the seasons keep continuing.

oh~ 却还是少一点坚决　
oh~ que hai shi shao yi dian jian jue
OH~ Acutally I still lack some will power
在这寂寞的季节
zai zhe ji mo de ji jie
In this season of loneliness

艳阳高照在那海边　
yan yang gao zhao zai na hai bian
There's a brightness near the shoreline
爱情盛开的世界
ai qing sheng kai de shi jie
that was opened up by Love.

远远看着热闹一切　
yuan yuan kan zhe re nao yi qie
From afar I watch this warmth
oh~　我记得那狂烈
oh~ wo ji da na kuang lie
OH~ I still remember that wild love

窗外是快枯黄的叶　
chuang wai shi kuai ku huang de ye
Outside the window is a withered leaf
感伤在心中有一些　oh~
gan shang zai xin zhong you yi xie oh~
I feel my wounds still have some OH~

我了解　那些爱过的人　
wo liao jie na xie ai guo de ren
I understand those that have loved before
心是如何慢慢在凋谢
xin shi ru he man man zai diao xie
of how the heart withers and falls

多想要向过去告别　
duo xian yao xiang guo qu gao bie
I really want to go over and end it
当季节不停更迭　oh~
dang ji jie bu ting geng die oh~
Bu the seasons keep continuing OH~

却还是少一点坚决　
que hai shi shao yo dian jian jue
Acutally, I still lack some will power
在这寂寞的季节
zai she ji mo de ji jie
In this season of loneliness

又走过风吹的冷冽　
you zou guo feng chui de leng jie
Another stormy season of loneliness
最后一盏灯熄灭
zui hou yi zhan deng xi mie
the last light of hope has extinguished.

从回忆我慢慢穿越　
cong hui yi wo man man chuan yue
From now on, I will slowly make my way through
在这寂寞的季节
zai zhe ji moe de ji jie
this season of loneliness

还是寂寞的季节　
hai shi ji mo de ji jie
Still this Season of Loneliness.
一样寂寞的季节
yi yang ji mo de ji jie
The same Season of Loneliness.

Love Is All Around ~ Wet Wet Wet

Love Is All Around (Written By: Reg Presley)

Originally performed by The Troggs

I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
Love is all around me
And so the feeling grows

It's written on the wind
It's everywhere I go, oh yes it is
So if you really love me
Come on and let it show, woh

You know I love you, I always will
My mind's made up by the
way that I feel
there's no beginning,
there'll be no end
'cause on my love you can depend

I see your face before me
as I lay on my bed, um
I kinda get to thinking
of all the things you said, oh yes I did
You gave your promise to me and I
gave mine to you
I need someone beside me
in everything I do, oh yes I do

You know I love you, I always will,
my mind's made up by the
way that I feel
there's no beginning,
there'll be no end
'cause on my love you can depend

Gotta keep it moving

Oh It's written in the wind
oh everywhere I go, yeah, oh well
so if you really love me, love me, love me
come on and let it show, oh
come on and let it show
come on and let it
come on and let it (come and let it show, baby)
come on, come on, come on, come on let it show baby
come on and let it show
come on and let it show, baby
come on and let it show

I FOUND a Few Old Letters of Mine ~ Rabindranath Tagore

XLVII


I FOUND a few old letters of mine carefully hidden in her box--a few small
toys for her memory to play with.


With a timorous heart she tried to steal these trifles from time's
turbulent stream, and said, "These are mine only!"


Ah, there is no one now to claim them, who can pay their price with loving
care, yet here they are still.


Surely there is love in this world to save her from utter loss, even like
this love of hers that saved these letters with such fond care.

Rabindranath Tagore

The Far-Farers ~ Robert Louis Stevenson

THE FAR-FARERS

THE broad sun,
The bright day:
White sails
On the blue bay:
The far-farers
Draw away.

Light the fires
And close the door.
To the old homes,
To the loved shore,
The far-farers
Return no more.

Robert Louis Stevenson

黃小琥－沒那麼簡單
曲：蕭煌奇　詞：姚若龍
出處：簡單／不簡單

沒那麼簡單 就能找到 聊得來的伴
尤其是在 看過了那麼多的背叛
總是不安 只好強悍
誰謀殺了我的浪漫

沒那麼簡單 就能去愛 別的全不看
變得實際 也許好也許壞各一半
不愛孤單 一久也習慣
不用擔心誰 也不用被誰管

感覺快樂就忙東忙西 感覺累了就放空自己
別人說的話 隨便聽一聽 自己作決定
不想擁有太多情緒 一杯紅酒配電影
在周末晚上 關上了手機 舒服窩在沙發裡

相愛沒有那麼容易 每個人有他的脾氣
過了愛作夢的年紀 轟轟烈烈不如平靜
幸福沒有那麼容易 才會特別讓人著迷
什麼都不懂的年紀 曾經最掏心 所以最開心 曾經

沒那麼簡單 就能去愛 別的全不看

不用擔心誰 也不用被誰管

感覺快樂就忙東忙西 感覺累了就放空自己
別人說的話 隨便聽一聽 自己作決定
不想擁有太多情緒 一杯紅酒配電影
在周末晚上 關上了手機 舒服窩在沙發裡

相愛沒有那麼容易 每個人有他的脾氣
過了愛作夢的年紀 轟轟烈烈不如平靜
幸福沒有那麼容易 才會特別讓人著迷
什麼都不懂的年紀 曾經最掏心 所以最開心 曾經

相愛沒有那麼容易 每個人有他的脾氣
過了愛作夢的年紀 轟轟烈烈不如平靜
幸福沒有那麼容易 才會特別讓人著迷
什麼都不懂的年紀 曾經最掏心 所以最開心 曾經

想念最傷心 但卻最動心 的記憶

My Own Peculiar Way ~ Willie Nelson

My Own Peculiar Way ~ Willie Nelson
(I'll always love you in my own peculiar way)
It would be a comfort just to know you never doubt me
Even though I give you cause most every day
Sometimes I think that you'd be better off without me
Although I love you in my own peculiar way
Don't doubt my love if sometimes my mind should wonder
To a suddenly remembered yesterday
Cause my mind could never stay too long away from you
I'll always love you in my own peculiar way
And though I may not always be the way you'd have me be
And though my faults may grow in number day by day
Let no one ever say that I've ever been untrue
I'll always love you in my own peculiar way
I'll always love you in my own peculiar way

Anyway ~ Kent Keith

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.

Kent Keith

(I got this poem from a friend in 1990.)

Wrap Your Arms Around Me ~ Agnetha Faltskog(ABBA)

Wrap Your Arms Around Me...
Lyrics: (Mike Chapman, Holly Knight)
When you're so far away, at the end of each day
Counting the moments till you fade away,
Inside my soul, under passion's control
Are feelings I can't find the words to explain,
Just like the first time I'm helpless again,

Wrap your arms around me, let your love surround me
Make love to me now like never before,
Wrap your arms around me, from the day you found me
You'll never be alone.

The nights are so cold, with just your memory to hold
I've tried to be strong, reaching out holding on
Alone in my bed, I cling to each word you said,
Wanting you more everyday we're apart,
And each precious moment is safe in my heart,

Wrap your arms around me, let your love surround me
Make love to me now like never before,
Wrap your arms around me, from the day you found me
You'll never be alone

Take me in your arms
Hold me
You are the one, only you
I want to be with you
We belong together
We were so close
The nights are so cold
Want to be with you
Miss you anyway
I want to be with you
Hold me, love me, love me

Just like the first time I'm helpless again...

Wrap your arms around me, let your love surround me
Make love to me now like never before,
Wrap your arms around me, from the day you found me
You'll never be alone,

Wrap your arms around me, you'll never be alone
Wrap your arms around me, you'll never be alone,
No, you'll never be alone

Music, When Soft Voices Die ~ Percy B. Shelly

Music, When Soft Voices Die

Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory;
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.

Percy Bysshe Shelley
