Hoy te canto, papá.

Cuando cantaba Mamá
en tu mirar tristeza leía.
No sé si sería verdad
o es que a mis ojos les parecía.

Piensas que puedo querer
más a mamá: no estás en lo cierto.
Los dos para mí sois un ser
pues desde entonces estoy existiendo.

ESTRIBILLO

Y de niño yo recuerdo...
que me sentabas junto a ti,
y me contabas unos cuentos
que solías “discurrir”.
Yo te miraba boquiabierto
y tú sonreías feliz.

---------------------------

Siempre me siento feliz
cuando a mamá le haces caricias.
Jamás se os vio discutir
ni enfadaos ni por tonterías.

Gracias por todo papá
por tu bondad, por tu cariño.
También por saberme educar
y dirigirme hacia el buen camino.


Today I sing to you, dad.

When Mom sang
and in your look sadness read.
I don't know if it would be true
or is it that it seemed to my eyes.

Do you think that I can love
more to mom: you're not right.
The two of you are one being for me
Well, since then I have been existing.

CHORUS

And as a child I remember ...
you sat me next to you,
you told me some stories
that you used to "invent."
I was gaping at you
and you were smiling happily.

---------------------------

I always feel happy
when you caress mommy.
You were never seen arguing
do not get angry or even over nonsense.

Thanks for everything dad
for your goodness, for your affection.
Also for knowing how to educate myself
and direct me to the right path.

Song 4

Slingshot

170BPM

AMAJOR

Lyrics

I've been looking from above on pride rock
I got king in my blood but it's locked up
Mud in the vain like Layne
And Ima go down in the same way 
I pray that I never gotta prey 
Cause when I gotta prey
It comes a little late
I stress from the same shit daily
Thick headed 
And I Find out the hard way
And I pray that I never gotta prey 
Cause when I gotta prey
It comes a little late

Two birds one stone 
Is lousy expression 
If you want my opinion 
I’ll give you a confession 
I don’t think a bird deserves 
To be hurt mercilessly 
Mark and I will fuck your shit up
Happily 

David and Goliath
Pulling out a slingshot
Wouldn’t be such a bad idea 
If only you were smaller 
I could see your point 
But you’re fighting in the wrong
And you’re leaving me no choice
No choice
(You’re leaving me no choice)

Two birds one stone 
Is lousy expression 
If you want my opinion 
I’ll give you a confession 
I don’t think a bird deserves 
To be hurt mercilessly 
Mark and I will fuck your shit up
Happily 

What is happiness without a little love?
Slingshot

I need a nap
Cause I'm feeling my old age
I'm feelin my own way 
I need another
Cause I'm feeling sore
If I take another
Will I be
Trapped in my ways
I need a nap
Cause I'm feeling my old age
I'm feelin my own way 
I need another
Cause I'm feeling sore
If I take another
Will I be no more

Two birds one stone 
Is lousy expression 
If you want my opinion 
I’ll give you a confession 
I don’t think a bird deserves 
To be hurt mercilessly 
Mark and I will fuck your shit up
Happily

(Move over
Is there enough
Can't get enough

Take cover
The world is tough
You brave enough)

Sunset dreams
People
They go chasing about

Blue and green
They screen
But won't take a step now

Make believe
Daydream
Who's gonna take the bait now

Sunset dreams
Take over
Can't get enough

Go on
Go on
Go reach out for the unicorn

Come on
Come on
Make rainbows now

(Sunset dreams
They feel so bittersweet)

Sunset Dreams (with Chris Matthews)

K3EF - In Stormy Seas

Arctic soundscapes with a haunting yet warm voice full of emotions, this is how Inyha paints her inner emotional world where ice & snow covers the warmth of her heart, where walls of silence create distance, where mirrors of ice show her own disguise, while all she longs for is nearness and love. 

This is the shortened Radio version of the song.

Snowflakes dancing in the dark

Snowflakes Dancing in the Dark (Radio Edit)

Pounce, one of Shirley's 5 cats, has been missing for over 6 months. Tale of a Loss Purr is a piece which conveys how much she misses him, her longing for him to return and the sweet memories shared together which will be remembered forever. Losing a pet cat, or any other pet animal, is incredibly painful. It is like losing a family member. Thoughts and prayers to all cats and animals who are suffering in the world.

Composer: Shirley Ly
String Quartet: Alerion Strings with Claudia Dehnke and Flora Yeung (Violinists), John Michael Hird (Violist) and Chris Terepin (Cellist)

Tale of A Loss Purr by Shirley Ly | Piano Quintet

Here's an old Scottish tune that used to be a sailors' song or barcarolle. It's now played as a lullaby or as a Slow March for the pipers. Due to some of the lyrics that are attached to it, the song can illustrate the escape of Bonnie Prince Charlie, the last of the Stewart's pretender, toward the isle of Skye, after the battle of Culloden (1746). As you may know, it is also the main theme of the TV Series “Outlander”.
--
Voici une ancienne mélodie écossaise qui était autrefois une chanson de marins ou une barcarolle. Elle est maintenant jouée comme une berceuse ou comme une Slow March pour les joueurs de cornemuse. En raison de certaines des paroles qui y sont attachées, la chanson peut illustrer la fuite de Bonnie Prince Charlie, le dernier des prétendants Stuart, vers l'île de Skye, après la bataille de Culloden (1746). Comme vous le savez peut-être, c'est aussi le thème principal de la série télévisée "Outlander".

Ma fenêtre
Je vois par les carreaux 
Ce que font les oiseaux : 
Quand ils quittent leur nid 
C’est qu’ils ont bien grandi.
Alors, j’ai ce désir
Qui me ferait plaisir :
Je rêve d’être ailleurs 
D’être grand et sans peur.

Refrain :
Ma fenêtre ouvre un ciel 
De rêves en ribambelle. 
Ma fenêtre m’attire
Et m’invite à partir.

Tout comme eux dans le ciel 
Un beau jour je pourrai,
En déployant mes ailes 
Comme les grands voler.
Si jamais je me perds 
Dans cette immensité, 
J’aurai comme repère 
Mon enfance passée. (refrain)

One of the many songs I've written for my students.
Voices: Miorcos https://book.easyzic.com/miorcos

My window

I can see through the panes
What birds do:
When they leave their nest
It's because they've grown up.

So I have this desire
That would please me:
I dream of being somewhere else
To be big and fearless.

Chorus : 
My window opens a sky
Of dreams in ribambelle.
My window attracts me
And invites me to leave.

Like them in the sky
One day I'll be able
Spreading my wings
Like the great ones.

If ever I get lost
In this immensity,
I'll have as a landmark
My past childhood.
(chorus)

Anything can happen at any time and anywhere. You take a shortcut and get attacked or save your future wife's dog from drowning. Everything in it.
