Alvida

Raat poori hum jaagte rahe
Bujhti roshni ki aad mein,
Parchhai mein chhipe chehre rahe
Yun kareeb jaise sapno mein.

Soone angan ko dekha humne
Khali wo saare kamre,
Bejaan hai poora man humara
Chhootne ke khayal se.

Wo akhri geeli nazar
Wo akhri bhari awaz,
Wo akhri jadu ki jhappi
... Aur subah hone ko hai...

Casas de cartón- Ali Primera
http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=IN&hl=en-GB&v=_FRSqM2uiM8&feature=related
Qué triste se oye la lluvia
en los techos de cartón;
qué triste vive mi gente
en las casas de cartón.

Viene bajando el obrero
casi arrastrando los pasos
por el peso del sufrir;
mira que mucho es sufrir,
mira que pesa el sufrir.

Arriba deja a la mujer preñada,
abajo está la ciudad
y se pierde en su maraña.
Hoy es lo mismo que ayer;
es su vida sin mañana.

Ay, cae la lluvia
viene el sufrimiento,
pero si la lluvia pasa,
¿cuando pasa el sufrimiento?
¿Cuándo viene la esperanza?

Niños color de mi tierra
con sus mismas cicatrices,
millonarios de lombrices.
Por eso qué triste viven los niños
en las casas de cartón.
Qué alegres viven los perros,
casa del explotador.

Usted no lo va a creer,
pero hay escuelas de perros
y les dan educación
pa' que no muerdan los diarios.
Pero el patrón
hace años, muchos años
que está mordiendo al obrero.

Qué triste se oye la lluvia
en las casas de cartón,
qué lejos pasa la esperanza
de los techos de cartón.


English translation:
How sad does the rain sound
On the roofs made of cardboard
How sad it is, the way my people live
In houses made of cardboard

Here comes the worker
Practically dragging each step
Carrying the weight of suffering
Look how much he's suffered
Look at the weight of such suffering

He leaves his woman pregnant
Down there is the city
And he loses himself in his maze
Today is the same as yesterday
A situation without a tomorrow

How sad does the rain sound
On the roofs made of cardboard
How sad it is, the way my people live
In houses made of cardboard

Children the same color of my country's earth
With their same scars
Millions of worms
And because of that
How sad it is, the way the children live
In houses made of cardboard

How happy do dogs live in the
House of the employer
You won't believe it
But there are schools for dogs
Where they receive education
So they won't bite the newspapers
But the employer!
For years, many years
Has been biting the worker

How sad does the rain sound
On the roofs made of cardboard
How far away, does hope pass by
In the houses made of cardboard

Coffee Daze

A dream is brewing
Strong & heady inside,
With promises of wonders
Out of a magic cup.
The aroma wafts in
Clear and delicious,
Drink up my friend
And look to the future .
Sip it slow,
Believe in its power
In life with its glories
And luck and destined lovers.

Looking Ahead

Where do you get lost
My friend
I am right here
Stay here, look at me
And lets recount the times that were

Happy & sad
Full of adventure
Misplaced romance sometimes
And now lets move ahead with our lives

Where do you get lost
My love
I am right here
Stay here, look at me
Lets fall in love all over again

The future is a present
And we’ll unwrap it together
Its so easy to be with you
And to move ahead together with our lives

Triveni fever strikes again :)

Ehsano ka bojh hum khud uthate hain,
Aur fir zindagi ki khuraakh khojte reh jaate hain...
Saans to muft hoti hai
_________________________________________
Fursat se kabhi aana to batayenge,
Aapko in sile labon ka raaz...
Satta sirf shabdon ki mohtaj nahi
_________________________________________
Humne andhere se bewajah hi dosti ki,
Jab ki tumne apne ujale se mera pura jahan roshan kar diya...
Chanda bhi to suraj se hi chamakta hai
_________________________________________
Ek lambi saans ke saath boondon ki mehek aayi,
Aur thandi hawa mein aahein ud gayin...
Bas neeche galiyon mein paani ki chheenten na paden
_________________________________________
Kabhi jab hum ankhen band karke sochte hain,
To roshni se bhi man behek jaata hai...
Wo haath se padte hain to kya
_________________________________________
Zindagi mein khushiyon ki aisi baad aayi,
Ki saari dukh ki kashtiyan beh gayin...
Kahin un jaagi hui kabron ki nazar na lag jaaye
_________________________________________
Humne to khuli ankhon se khwab sajaye,
Aise ki sari duniya peechhe reh gayi...
Sandal utaar kar hi mitti ka sparsh hota hai

Pehli Baar Mohabbat Lyrics

Thode bheege bheege se thode nam hai hum,
Kal se soye voye bhi to kam hai hum.

Thode bheege bheege se thode nam hai hum,
Kal se soye voye bhi to kam hai hum.
Dil ne kaisi harkat ki hai,

Hmmm khawab ke bhoj se, kapkapati hui,
Halki palkein teri yaad aata hai sab,

Meri daastaan kamini, mere raasten kaminey,
Ek dil se dosti thi, yeh huzoor bhi kaminey…

Jiska bhi chehra cheela, andar se aur nikla,
Masoom sa kabootar naacha to more nikla,
Kabhi hum kaminey nikle, kabhi doosre kaminey,
Kaminey kaminey kaminey kaminey,
Meri dosti kamini, mere yaar bhi kaminey,
Ek dil se dosti thi, yeh huzoor bhi kaminey…

5. bubbly- colbie cailat (very very cute song :))

I've been awake for a while now
You've got me feelin' like a child now
'Cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the felling's in a silly place

It starts in my toes
And I rinkel my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

The rain is falling on my window pane
But we are hiding in a safer place
Under covers stayinsafeand warm
You give me feelings that I adore
because it all starts
in my toes
Makes me feel for my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

What am I gonna say
you make me feel this way
I just mmmmm

it starts in my toes
Makes me tickling my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go
ba dada da dada dum wo do do dada dum
um ba do do oda oda oda ooh ooh mmm um mm
I've been asleep for a while now
You tuck me in just like a child now
'Cause every time you hold me in your arms
I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth

And it starts in my soul
And I lose all control
When you kiss my nose
The feeling shows
'cause you make me smile baby
Just take your time now
Holdin' me tight

Wherever, wherever, wherever you go
Wherever, wherever, wherever you go
oooohhh wherever you go
i always know
cause you make smile
even just for a while

~ to the strange music that played in my head

I could have told you

you could have told me

that which will never be

that which we'll never see

I could have heard you

you could have heard me

that which we never said

that which we'll never hear

lets all stop waiting

lets all start doing

we'll put this life to better use

we'll do that which were meant to
