Rilke, Love

...Not to destroy what one encounters but simply not to find anything complete. Countless possibilities. Countless wishes. And suddenly to be fulfillment, to be summer, to have the sun. Without speaking about it, unwittingly. Never to be done."

Rainer Maria Rilke

Love

For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you.
Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.

Khalil Gibran

Love

When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.

-Khalil Gibran, from The Prophet

Carla Bruni-lyrics

Everyone has certain songs that mean alot to them: that song you put on repeat during a particularly happy or sad part of your life. Favorite songs that always seem to match your mood.


This song is one of those for me. I've included a videoclip so you can listen, and the lyrics translated from the original French, to the best of my abilities. Its funny; I've been listening to this for years, and only now just translated it. Aaah, how music transcends all...


Which songs are some of your favorites?

Someone told Me 

They tell me our lives aren't worth much
They pass in an instant like roses fade
They tell me that the time slips is a jerk and that our sorrows were just worries, however, someone told me..


(Refrain)
That you still love me
Its that someone told me that you still love me.
Would it be possible then?


They tell me destiny makes lots of fun of us
That it gives us nothing and promises us everything
It seems that happiness is within reach, 
So we reach and find madness
However someone told me that

(Refrain)

But who told me that you still loved me?
I don't remember anymore, it was late at night,
I still here the voice but I don't see their features
"He loves you, its a secret, don't tell him I told you."
So you see, someone told me


That you still love me, they really told me
That you still love me, is it possible then?

They tell me our lives aren't worth much
They pass in an instant like roses fade
They tell me that the time slips is a jerk and that our sorrows were just worries, however, someone told me..

Refrain
