Because You Loved Me, Father

I dedicate this especially for you, dad for life

It’s all because you loved me

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I’ll be forever thankful baby
You’re the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You’re the one who saw me through through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith ‘coz you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I’m grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don’t know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You’ve been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

I’m everything I am
Because you loved me

 

Kasih ku jauh di hujung sana

Hampir 20 tahun aku cari lagu ni, tapi tak pernah jumpa. Aku tak tau apa nama lagunya dan siapa penyanyinya.
Cuma ini antara unggakap lirik yang ada dalam fikiranku.
“Kasih ku jauh di hujung sana, di balik gunung di kaki langit sana.
Tak dapat ku tunjuk kan hanya dapat ku rasa dengan melalui sudut khayalan.”

Semalam hanya kebetulan sedang aku mendengar lagu-lagu lama di YouTube, mulanya aku terjumpa lagu  ‘Cinta ku jauh – The Quest’, terpandanglah pulak judul lagu ni.
Bila aku klik…dengar seketika…yes yes!!! Ini dia,

Kasih ku jauh di hujung sana, biar ku sepi hati ku damai
Kini jauh dari pandangan, di balik gunung di kaki langit sana
Ku jenguk ku panggil nama MU
Tiada jua yang ada di sana
Hanya keping-keping batu karang,
Terhempas dibuai pasang
Tak bisa ku tunjuk kan hanya dapat ku rasa
Dengan MU lalui sedut khayalan

Black Woman…hmmm

Don’t mess around with a black woman, she got her spell on you.

Rock and roll era with Santana the legend.

Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen

Got a Black Magic Woman.
Got a Black Magic Woman.
Yes, I got a Black Magic Woman,
She’s got me so blind I can’t see;
That she’s a Black Magic Woman and
she’s trying to make a devil out of me.
Don’t turn your back on me, baby.
Don’t turn your back on me, baby.
Yes, don’t turn your back on me, baby,
Don’t mess around with your tricks;
Don’t turn your back on me, baby,
’cause you might just wake up my magic sticks.
You got your spell on me, baby.
You got your spell on me, baby.
Yes, you got your spell on me, baby,
Turnin’ my heart into stone;
I need you so bad,
Magic Woman I can’t leave you alone.

 

Oye como va, Mi ritmo
Bueno pa gozar, Mulata

 

Jingo…..loba, lobaba lobaba lobaba loba

 

“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.” – Bob Marley quotes.
I can still remember this album cover, at that moment I was a toddler

 

 

Is There Anybody There?

Back to decades ago…where is the love of my life? couldn’t find Him.
Is there anybody there who feels that vibration, who shows me the way to my LOVE
Is there anybody there with that inclination, to bring back the SUN to my heart.

Miss you so much, need you till the star all burn away and I know you’ll be there.

 

“Is There Anybody There”

Open my mind let me find new vibrations
Tell me the way I must take to reach my destination
And a place where I can stay
Where is the love of my life couldn’t find her
Show me the way to find back to myself
‘Cause I’m nowhere in the darkness of these days

Is there anybody there who feels that vibration
Who shows me the way to my love
Is there anybody there with that inclination
To bring back the sun to my heart

I find myself in a state of confusion
Life’s like a pantomime trick or a laser illusion
Where’s a place that I can stay
Save me don’t let me get lost in the ocean
I need your help every day to control my emotions
In the darkness of these days

Is there anybody there who feels that vibration
Who shows me the way to my love
Is there anybody there with that inclination
To bring back the sun to my heart

Amr Diab – Awedony ‘I USED TO’ عمرو دياب عودونى

One of my favorite song from Amr Diab ‘Awedony’ which means ‘I used to’
or some say ‘they got me used to or they made me love you’.

عمرو دياب عودونى

عشت عمرى قبل منك يوم وما جيتلى تانى عشته كله فى يوم

عودونى عودونى عليك أحبك عودونى … عودونى وعلمونى هواك

قلب واحد اللى حاسس بيك … هو قلب العاشق اللى دايب فيك

عودونى عودونى عليك أحبك عودونى … عودونى وعلمونى هواك

مش بخاطرى مش لاقيلى حلول … غصب عنى عيونى عودتنى أقول

عودونى عودونى عليك أحبك عودونى … عودونى وعلمونى هواك

 

I lived my life in one daybefore I see you
And when you came back
I live my whole life as one day

I used to
I used to love you
I used to
I used to love you and I learned the secrets of your love

Only one heart feels you
It’s my romantic heart which melts in you
Everything isn’t under my control, and I don’t find any solutions
Sorry but my eyes used to say the truth

I used to
I used to love you
I used to
I used to love you and I learned the secrets of your love

The Best Evergreen Song from Simon & Garfunkel

“Scarborough Fair” is a traditional ballad of Great Britain and more precisely Yorkshire. The melody is very typical of the middle English period. Album released February 1968.

The song relates the tale of a young man who instructs the listener to tell his former love to perform for him a series of impossible tasks, such as making him a shirt without a seam and then washing it in a dry well, adding that if she completes these tasks he will take her back. Often the song is sung as a duet, with the woman then giving her lover a series of equally impossible tasks, promising to give him his seamless shirt once he has finished.

Symbolic Interpretations

  • Parsley has been used as a digestant, which should take the bitterness out of certain comestibles. Some medieval physicians used this herb in a spiritual manner.
  • Sage is renowned as a symbol of power.
  • Rosemary represents fidelity, love, and remembrance and is therefore often used in traditional wedding customs. Rosemary for remembrance.
  • Thyme symbolizes courage and thus found its way into heraldry.

Another interpretation is that the four herbs are being used in charms to ward off the evil eye.

Lyrics : Scarborough Fair

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there, she once was a true love of mine.

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt (On the side of a hill in the deep forest green).
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested brown).
Without no seams nor needlework (Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain).
Then she’ll be a true love of mine (Sleeps unaware of the clarion call).

Tell her to find me an acre of land (On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves).
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Washes the grave with silvery tears).
Between the saltwater and the sea strands (A soldier cleans and polishes a gun).
Then she’ll be a true love of mine. (Sleeps unaware of the clarion call).

Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather (War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions).
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Generals order their soldiers to kill).
And gather it all in a bunch of heather (And to fight for a cause they’ve long ago forgotten).
Then she’ll be a true love of mine. (Sleeps unaware of the clarion call).

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there, she once was a true love of mine.

El Cóndor Pasa (“The condor goes by”, or “flies past”) is a song from the zarzuela El Cóndor Pasa by the Peruvian composer Daniel Alomía Robles, written in 1913 and based on traditional Andean folk tunes.

It is possibly the best-known Peruvian song worldwide due to a cover version by Simon & Garfunkel in 1970 on their Bridge Over Troubled Water album. This cover version is called “El Condor Pasa (If I Could)”. Album released September 1970.

Lyrics : El Cóndor Pasa – If I could

I’d rather be a sparrow than a snail.
Yes I would,
If I could,
I surely would.

I’d rather be a hammer than a nail.
Yes I would,
If I only could,
I surely would.

CHORUS
Away, I’d rather sail away
Like a swan that’s here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world
Its saddest sound,
Its saddest sound.

I’d rather be a forest than a street.
Yes I would.
If I could,
I surely would.

I’d rather feel the earth beneath my feet,
Yes I would.
If I only could,
I surely would.

Inspirational Song_Everything @ Once

“Everything At Once”

As sly as a fox, as strong as an ox
As fast as a hare, as brave as a bear
As free as a bird, as neat as a word
As quiet as a mouse, as big as a house

All I wanna be, all I wanna be, oh
All I wanna be is everything

As mean as a wolf, as sharp as a tooth
As deep as a bite, as dark as the night
As sweet as a song, as right as a wrong
As long as a road, as ugly as a toad

As pretty as a picture hanging from a fixture
Strong like a family, strong as I wanna be
Bright as day, as light as play
As hard as nails, as grand as a whale

All I wanna be oh, all I wanna be, oh
All I wanna be is everything
Everything at once
Everything at once, oh
Everything at once

As warm as the sun, as silly as fun
As cool as a tree, as scary as the sea
As hot as fire, cold as ice
Sweet as sugar and everything nice

As old as time, as straight as a line
As royal as a queen, as buzzed as a bee
As stealth as a tiger, smooth as a glider
Pure as a melody, pure as I wanna be

All I wanna be oh, all I wanna be, oh
All I wanna be is everything
Everything at once

******* A great song *******
^^^^^However^^^^^
If you want everything, don’t cry if you get nothing
you won’t get everything yo want
