Intre vis si realitate...: Armonie si culori

"Happy New Year" / ABBA

No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It's the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we'll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Este titlul uneia dintre cele mai bine vândute carti din ultimii ani, 1,7 milioane exemplare si titlul original este "Maria, ihm schmeckt's nicht!" (2003) ce apartine scriitorului Jan Weiler. Anul 2009 în luna iulie a avut loc premiera mondiala a filmului cu acelasi titlu, scenariul fiind semnat de chiar Jan Weiler. A urmat un succes nemaipomenit!
Trebuie sa spun ca am gasit dialogul si situatiile surprinse atât de simpatice încât am râs pâna la lacrimi.
Tema? Una simpla: casatoria dintre Jan - un tânar de origine germana, cu Sara - frumusica jumatate italianca, jumatate nemtoaica. Cum se complica totul cu ajutorul familiilor... e aproape de asteptat, nu?

COCO AVANT CHANEL

Recunosc ca am amânat vizionarea filmului, dând crezare unei critici aduse imediat dupa premiera mondiala din aprilie a.c. intitulata cumva "o biografie prea romantata, tipic frantuzeasca".
Zilele trecute, reci si umede, rasfoind o revista, am vazut o fotoreclama a parfumului Chanel No 5, cu Audrey Tauton ce m-a impresionat prin simplitate, eleganta si frumusete. Asa mi-am amintit ca am filmul pe aici-pe-undeva si l-am vazut {ca tot se întuneca mult prea devreme- acum, în octombrie :-( }
Trebuie sa spun ca povestea fetitei parasite în orfelinat si devenita cea mai cunoscuta creatoare de moda din lume, am gasit-o plina de gingasie. Caracterul hotarât, amestecul de timiditate, curaj si încapatânare, rafinamentul, puterea si talentul înnascut, toate acestea ascunse sub aspectul fizic fragil, sunt bine puse în evidenta de catre regizoarea Anne Fontaine, cu ajutorul şarmantei actrite Audrey Tautou. Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel- poreclita Coco, ramâne si dupa vizionarea filmului o femeie fascinanta, plina de surprize si secrete. Si...ca si atunci, când mica anarhista a provocat rumori, posterul filmului din zilele noastre, în care Audrey în ipostaza de Coco Chanel apare în pijama, cu tigareta între degete, a provocat un mic scandal, o antipropaganda a organizatiilor anti-fumatoare, posterele devenind interzise!

A saptea elegie - optiunea le real / Lucian Blaga

Traiesc in numele frunzelor, am nervuri,
schimb verdele pe galben si
ma las pierit de toamna.
In numele pietrelor traiesc si ma las
cubic batut in drumuri,
cutreierate de repezi masini.
Traiesc in numele merelor si am
sase simburi scuipati printre dintii
tinerei fete dusa cu gindul tot
dupa lenese dansuri de ebonita.
In numele caramizilor traiesc,
cu bratari de mortar intepenite
la fiecare mina, in timp ce imbratisez
un posibil galbenus al existentelor.
Niciodata n-am sa fiu sacru.Mult,
prea mult am imaginatia
celorlalte forme concrete.

Si nici n-am vreme din pricina asta
sa ma gindesc
la propria mea viata.
Iata-ma. Traiesc in numele cailor.
Nechez. Sar peste copaci retezati.
Traiesc in numele pasarilor,
dar mai ales in numele zborului.
Cred ca am aripi, dar ele
nu se vad. Totul pentru zbor.
Totul,
pentru a rezema ceea ce se afla
de ceea ce va fi.

Intind o mina, care-n loc de degete
are cinci miini,
care-n loc de degete
au cinci miini, care
in loc de degeteau cinci miini.

Totul pentru a imbratisa,
amanuntit, totul,
pentru a pipai nenascutele privelisti
si a le zgiria
pina la singe
cu o prezenta.

(din volumul "Poezii", Ed. Minerva, Bucuresti, 1988)

PRINTRE FRUNZELE APROAPE RECI - Ana Balndiana

Cand printre frunzele aproape reci
Te duc de mana sa-ti fac semn sa taci
Sa nu trezesti in cuiburi puii infirmi
Parasiti de stolurile pornite spre sud,
Cand padurea se face luminoasa
Si se poate vedea
Cu o sfasietoare claritate
Cerul de la marginea copacilor,
Cand fiarele dezvelite
De zborul frunzisului
Fosnesc si isi schimba culoarea,
Suntem legati unul de altul
Si necunoscuti
Cum numai un ochi
Este legat de celalalt ochi,
Cum un ochi ii este necunoscut
Celuilalt.
Jumatatea de lume pe care o vad
Se chirceste sub scutul pleoapei...

Hitul toamnei- Oktoberfest'09: I AM FROM BAVARIA / Jürgen Birlinger

I’m a lonesome boy from Munich
And I travelled all around
I‘ve seen all the things a man has to see
But now I’m homeward bound

I’ve been to Rio, I’ve been to Paris,
I’ve been to LA
I’ve seen all the girls around the world
Suneschine and skies of grey

I travelled on the seven seas
I’ve been north, south, east and west
I really have to say "I love the world"
But my home is still the best!

Ref: Hollarei Holldilaria
I am from Bavaria
I wear Gamsbart and a Lederhosn
And I drink no beer aus Dosen
Hollarei Holldilaria
I am from Bavaria
I always drink my beer vom Fass
Zenzi bring ma no a Mass

Bayerns Himmel- weiß und blau
Bavaria- des is a Schau
I like King Louis – I like Tegensee
And on Zugsitzgipfel – I feel free

Nice Girls in Dirndlgwand
You only see in Bayernland
I’m happy and I feel alright
In Hofbräuhaus Gemütlichkeit

Ref: ...

Beer garden fun we guarantee
In the shade of Kastanien tree
You see a lot of scöne Madl
And they all have fesche Wadl

My boots I call Haferlschuah
Und Wadlstrümpf ghörn a dazu
I don’t take Cocain – i nimm a Pris
And I don’t drink Coke – des is gwies

Disneyland you have every season
But in Herbst we have our Münchner Wiesen
So come on and get the best
In Munich at Oktoberfest

Ref:...
Come on, let’s drink one more Mass!

Esarfa In Dar lyrics by Pasarea Colibri

Cu ape de rosu-n ochi,
Valuri largi de alb,
Mov si verde zboara cald
Pe chipul tau drag,
Esarfa in dar.
Tin minte si-acum
Ne-am oprit din drum
Ce bine-mi amintesc, ce clar,
Ti-am infasurat
Esarfa in dar.
Culorile alergau,
In vant se certau
Fata toata-ti lumina
Cu albul de var,
Esarfa in dar.
Aveam optsprezece ani,
Eram Beatles fani
Si umblam in tenisi albi.
Primavara-n par
Si miros de mar.
A mai trecut de-atunci ceva,
Albul de var nu-i chiar la fel
Tu gandesti altceva
Si mai e si el.
Eu, aici, tu, acolo,
Niciodata noi.
Te mai vad, cand si cand,
El in stanga ta,
Si nu pot sa-ti spun ce gandesc
Cand la gatu-i vad
Esarfa in dar.
Cu ape de rosu-n ochi,
Valuri largi de alb,
Mov si verde zboara cald
Pe chipul tau drag,
Esarfa in dar.
Pe chipul tau drag,
Esarfa in dar...
Pe chipul tau drag...
Esarfa in dar...

Barcelona- o enciclopedie culturala vie

Pe langa locurile clasice, pe care nu ai voie sa le ratezi cand esti in Barcelona: Fontana Magica, Sagrada Familia, Santa Maria del Mar, Parc Güel, Casa Mila, Casa Battlo, Bario Gotica, les Arenes, Monumental, Satdionul FC.Barcelona, seara Flamenco, (am uitat ceva? precis!) trebuie sa hotarasti, care muzee (orasul e campionul muzeelor inedite) le introduci pe lista lacasurilor de arta, istorie si cultura pe care doresti sa le vizitezi. Noi, vara aceasta am reusit doar:

Muzeul figurilor de ceara
Muzeul Picasso
Muzeul Marinei
Muzeul Ciocolatei
Expozitia Dali,

obiective pe care le recomand cu caldura.

Pacat ca vacanta e scurta si ziua are doar 24 de ore!

BARCELONA

Barcelona, Barcelona
Barcelona, Barcelona Viva
I had this perfect dream-
Un sueño me envolvió
This dream was me and you-
Tal vez estás aquí
I want all the world to see-
Un instinto me guiaba
A miracle sensation
My guide and inspiration
Now my dream is slowly coming true
The wind is a gentle breeze-
Él me hablo de ti
The bells are ringing out-
El canto vuela
They're calling us together
Guiding us forever
Wish my dream would never go away
Barcelona -It was the first time that we met
Barcelona - How can I forget
The moment that you stepped
into the room you took my breath away
Barcelona -La música vibró
Barcelona -Y ella nos unió
And if God willing
we will meet again someday
Let the songs begin-
Déjalo nacer
Let the music play...
Make the voices sing-
Nace un gran amor
Start the celebration-
Ven a mí
And cry-Grita
Come alive-Vive
And shake the foundations
from the skies
Ah,Ah,Shaking all our lives
Barcelona -Such a beautiful horizon
Barcelona -Like a jewel in the sun
Por ti seré gaviota de tu bella mar
Barcelona - Suenan las campanas
Barcelona -Abre tus puertas al mundo
If God is willing-If God is willing
If God is willing
Friends until the end
Viva - Barcelona

RETURN TO INNOCENCE

Thats not the beginning of the end
Thats the return to yourself
The return to innocence.
Love - devotion
Feeling - emotion.
Dont be afraid to be weak
Dont be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence.
If you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself dont hide
Just believe in destiny.
Dont care what people say
Just follow your own way
Dont give up and use the chance
To return to innocence.
Thats not the beginning of the end
Thats the return to yourself
The return to innocence.
Dont care what people say
Follow just your own way
Follow just your own way
Dont give up, dont give up
To return,
to return to innocence.
If you want then laugh
If you must then cry
Be yourself dont hide
Just believe in destiny
