different

Mittwoch, März 18th, 2009

Isn’t it funny how everyone believes to be different from everybody else. Of course nobody is like anyone else – are they?
Actually we’re not so different at all.

We walk on two feet, we speak using a mouth, we act using two hands.

Not only do we look equally in shape and proportion, are more or less equally beautiful in our own ways – but our head works by the same principles and protocols.
We want to live – well most of us do – some will say they don’t want to, but still they breathe, still their hearts beat.

We touch and feel with five fingers each hand, we hear with our ears and see with our own two eyes.

We yearn for protection and we ache for some love. And though the tastes may vary, still the desire is the same.
Now you’d say you’re different or more diverse from them but don’t we have in common that we aspire to be unique?

Ein Mensch ist fehlerhaft in vielen Hinsichten. Das ist gut so, denn wären wir alle perfekt, wären wir alle gleich und das Leben wäre ziemlich langweilig. Auf der anderen Seite würde es weniger Probleme geben. Ich möchte nicht, wie so oft, auf allgemeine Menschheitsprobleme eingehen. Nein – heute ist es an der Zeit den eigenen Schrank auszuräumen.

translation can be fun

Mittwoch, März 4th, 2009

This is a very loose translation of a quite popular song in Germany. The idea was to take something that is torture to the ear and recreate it to make something good from it. This idea came to me when I heard a couple of songs and realized that this particular song seemed like a bad sequence made from bits of good songs and movie scenes. Actually, the original lyric was so bad – and in some parts just untranslateable – so I had to intervene. I put the refrain to the bottom of the text – so you don’t realize which song this is right away. Try to enjoy the words and if you really don’t know what song this is – post a comment. I’d like to call this “sunshine” for the time being. Here we go.

~ sunshine ~

Baby you’re the one whom I always dreamed about
your lips taste like ice on a hot sunday.
Listen to me when I’m telling you that you mean the world to me
and when you’re gone then nothing can keep me here.

It was love on first sight
your respect is so irreplaceable for me
we were walking hand in hand on an endless strand.

Girl you’re the one whom I need and desire
beside you I feel like I’m nothing
and if you think all this is a lie
then you thought wrong because I love you.

*refrain*

*refrain*

I’m missing your breath on my body
your breath that touched me so softly
the breath that seduced my heart.
No matter what might happen
I will get the starry sky for you.
You’re the end of the rainbow
I will bring you all the luck from heaven.
I can’t be without you
we have to reunite.

*refrain*

*refrain*

*refrain*

Just so you know – I love you baby

Where are you my sunshine?

I love you

refrain:
Where are you my sunshine
I’m looking for you – i’m missing you
I only feel respect for you
just so you know: I love you
