===================

at Lorenzo Diab - san's suggestion:
I'd like to translate the words… little by little…

======== 
傍に居るさ / time left
======== 
残された　時間と
歩む　速さを
I'm thinking about the time left 
and my pace of walking

できるだけ　人ごとのように
人ごとのように　思い遣れば
thinking as if it was other people's affair

そこまでは　行けないのかも　知れない
I wonder if I can reach there

そこから　何が　見えるのか
誰か　教えて　くれないか
tell me please
what can you see from there?


壊された　夢と
望みの　強さを
I'm thinking about the broken dream
and the intensity of desire

できるだけ　人ごとのように
人ごとのように　比べれば
comparing as if they were other people's affair

そこまでは　もたないのかも　知れない
I wonder if I can endure

そんな　高い　ところから
せめて　教えて　くれないか
tell me please
from such a high place

傍に　居るさ　　遠い昔　最後に
傍に　居るさ　　手をつないだ
傍に　居るさ　　その日の　ままさ
it still be in a side
as at the day
last time we walked hand in hand

傍に　居るさ
it may be in a side

---

歩いた　路と
これからの　地平を
I'm thinking about the road behind me
and the horizon in front of me

できるだけ　人ごとのように
人ごとのように　推し量れば
guessing as if it was other people's matter

そこまでは　辿れないかも　知れない
I wonder if I can trace

そんな　遠い　ところから
あかりを　灯して　くれないか
please light a lamp
from such a distant place

傍に　居るさ　　遠い昔　最後に
傍に　居るさ　　手をつないだ
傍に　居るさ　　その日の　ままさ
it still be in a side
as at the day
last time we walked hand in hand

傍に　居るさ
it will be in your side

---

残された　時間と
歩む　速さを
I'm thinking about the time left 
and my pace of walking

できるだけ　人ごとのように
人ごとのように　思い遣れば
thinking as if it was other people's affair

そこまでは　行けないのかも　知れない
I wonder if I can reach there

傍に居るさ / time left

MONDO DINGO w/ BEN MEN - 19.09.25

A song about using my defense mechanism of humor to avoid conflict and achieve romance. Dedicated to class clowns everywhere.
Sorry I've been off SC lately, I've been taking care of a few things.

Lyrics:
I was just having a drink
In a bar on the rough side of town
Yeah, minding my own business
And these tough guys come up to me
They say: "Hey, we're tough guys."
"we don't like you drinking sparkling Chablis,"

Well, I had a real good read on the situation
I've got the gift of gab (talk) from my Dad
I'm a samurai of summation
I buy my sarcasm firsthand

I said: Gentlemen, may  I suggest a truce?
Let me be the peacemaker and buy you a bottle of booze
Then I got loose
I left them with a bill
For a three hundred dollar
Bottle of Chartruse

Oh, I listened to what my Mama say
You're gonna have to fight those boys someday
But if you use your brain
Then you'll find another way
Fight back, hit em in the funny bone (3X)
Funny bone

I was a young undergrad
A full-time miscreant
A part-time handsome man
I needed to get the attention of the ladies
But I wasn't that good-looking
But I knew what I had

I had a good read on the situation
I have the gift of gab from my Dad
I'm a samurai of summation
I buy my sarcasm firsthand

I listened to what my Mama say
If those girls don't give you the time of day
You're gonna have to use your brain
Then you'll find another way 
Step back, appeal to her funny bone (3X)
Funny bone

Funny Bone

They do what they want simply because they can.   
I do what I can, because I am here.

They no longer feel the hypocritical need to justify their actions.   
I do not justify. I bear witness.

They speak loudly. They reverse the facts.   
I speak softly. But I do not lie.

Totalitarian culture does not force. It erases.   
I do not shout. But I trace. Even if it’s fragile.

The algorithm holds captive, but does not elevate thought.   
I watch over the moment. And I breathe in the present.

Meta thrives on noise. Amazon on speed.   
I watch over the link. And I breathe in the slow.

Exxon and Lockheed thrive on destruction.   
I do not thrive. I breathe. And I watch.

Violence is a drug. It excites, it justifies.   
I am not excited. I am here. Sober. Present.

Diplomacy is possible, but refused.   
I do not refuse. I extend my hand. Even if it trembles.

The world approaches universal death in a frightening way.   
I am not the universe. But I am alive. And I remember.

Russell and Einstein wanted to remember their humanity, and forget the rest. I am what is forgotten. And I remember.

LYRICS: 
These thoughts go drifting by
And I watch them fade away
Where they come from I don’t know
Where they go, who can say
It seems that there is always
A lesson to be learned
Another twist in the story
As the pages get turned

So I put on my walking shoes
Take it steady, take it slow
Turn my collar to the rain
Breathe in deep and let it go 

What are the rules in this game
Are there any rules at all?
These thoughts go drifting by
And down the waterfall
It seems that there is always
A lesson to be learned
Another chapter in the story
As the pages get turned

So I put on my walking shoes
Take it steady, take it slow
Turn my collar to the rain
Breathe in deep and let it go

Now I’m standing by the river
At the foot of the mountainside
Will the grass be any greener
Over on the other side
It seems that there is always
A lesson to be learned
Another time, another story
As the pages get turned

So I put on my walking shoes
Take it steady, take it slow
Turn my collar to the rain
Breathe in deep and let it go

I've been hearing so much AI music on SoundCloud lately that instead of jumping on the AI bandwagon, it's pushing me in the other direction where I want to do more songs with just me and my guitar.  
This is a live version that I played straight through from start to finish which I am using as an audition song for the Tucson Folk Festival.
And if you're curious, here's a link to a YouTube video of me singing a different version  the song live (iPhone recording). https://youtu.be/qMe4Uh39uhY?si=jBvf8uvDZQyDgiVg

Elvis in the 1970’s in his jumpsuit and his cape.
Some say he didn’t really die he just decided to escape.
Over the year’s there’ve been sightings like Bigfoot and UFO’s.
Of Elvis shopping at Walmart dressed in ordinary clothes.
They say it’s good to be king – but sometimes maybe it’s not.
When you’re coasting on your past glory and now, you’re lukewarm instead of hot.
If Elvis was still alive, he’d be approaching the century mark.
He’d be a tired old hound dog - would he still be able to bark.
If he put on a pair of blue suede shoes and he tried to shake his hips.
And he strummed his guitar on a street corner would people give him any tips.
They say it’s good to be king – but sometimes maybe it’s not
When you’re coasting on your past glory and now, you’re lukewarm instead of hot
There’s day’s when you feel like you’re trapped in a routine 
And you’re going through the motions, and you want to start fresh and clean.
Somewhere between 1968 and 1977 Elvis took a detour and he ended up in Heaven.
It’s nice to imagine that maybe he was sick of sick and tired of all that fame.
And one day he just decided to retire from playing the game.
If he sang that song love me tender, would it till make the young women swoon.
Or would they stare at him with curiosity like at the zoo when you see a baboon.
If he put on the black leather costume that he wore in 1968 
And he played the same set list would people still think he was so great?
Elvis in Black leather in 1968 strumming his guitar he looked so good
And his voice was really great.
At the top of his game in perfect form he could have stopped right then
He could have walked away - still would have still been a rock and roll legend
They say it’s good to be king – but sometimes maybe it’s not
When you’re coasting on your past glory and now, you’re lukewarm instead of hot.
They say it’s good to be king – but sometimes maybe it’s not
When you’re coasting on your past glory and now, you’re lukewarm instead of hot

Travelling

paralyze nerves
Travelling without moving
