To break a spell

Sometimes you just need a word to break a spell

Sometimes you just have to confront your fears

Sometimes you just have to test your faith

see if it stands the test of time

if it stands the hardships

if it stands the test of faithfulness

and if it passes

or if it fails

be glad

because whatever the result

you will find the truth



Sometimes you just need a minute of courage to change your life

Just one minute

and all spells will be broken

Black hole

Otro ciclo planetario

Otra revolución alrededor de una estrella azul

pulsante

en el rincón más alejado de un universo paralelo...

Y precisa como un reloj

exacta como las leyes que rigen los astros

vos me eclipsas otra vez

Tu luna apaga mi estrella

enfría mi planeta hasta que toda forma de vida inteligente

se congela

y qué frío...

Y así seguirá por los siglos de los siglos

Momentum perpetuo

sujeto a tus mareas caprichosas

a cuando estés de humor

a cuando te den ganas

a que un recuerdo bonito sea el trigger de un te quiero

a que vuelvas después de que me jures que no volverás

a que te vayas después de que te hayas saltado todos los controles para estar conmigo

Nunca alcanzarás la velocidad para escapar de la órbita que te aprisiona

Sólo una hecatombe planetaria

puede romper el ciclo

Yo volveré

Vos volverás

porque estás diseñada para mi y yo para vos

y otra vez...

No... no quiero...

Mi planeta debe destruirse

Que desaparezca de todos los mapas y de todos los archivos...

de todos los recuerdos

Por eso lo hice

Por eso me tiré de cabeza

en un agujero negro súper masivo...



No lamentes nada de lo que pasó

Conociéndote

aunque me lleves contigo hasta la eternidad

como un tatuaje

no significará nada importante

Significará lo mismo que un episodio de telenovela de lunes por la mañana

Entretención para señoras

hasta que llegan los anuncios de detergentes

y suavizantes...

Cuento de 3

Muchas veces en mi imaginación

en sueños

y en pesadillas provocadas por comer muchos fideos con carne

se proyectó aquella escena surrealista

fatal e inevitable

Los 3 en la misma mesa

al fin...

En una especie de mini juicio

yo, el fabulosamente inoportuno

la piedra en el zapato

el cabo suelto

tenía que repetir palabra por palabra

lo que había dicho...

y había dicho mucho...

Había soltado toda la sopa

Por dónde diablos empezaba? Por el principio?

—Cuál es tu objetivo?

—Que sepamos la verdad

—La verdad de qué?

—La verdad de todo

—Pero la verdad de todo qué????

Qué curioso el destino

porque los dos estábamos buscando exactamente lo mismo...

... hasta que empezaron los morongazos...

... y se acabaron las similitudes :/

 * * *

 PD

Después de que se fueron

los parroquianos que estaban alrededor volvieron a sus mesas

y comentaban los recientes acontecimientos

mientras me veían de reojo

Yo me quedé ahí un rato, sentado de pierna cruzada

con sangre en el oído y sin escuchar nada

pensando en tu reacción...

La chica de la mesa de al lado no podía dejar de verme así que le tuve que preguntar

—No viste a dónde fue a parar una cajita de dulces que tenía por aquí?

Ella y sus acompañantes me señalaron un punto 3 locales más allá

Fui por mi cajita y volví para despedirme

—Definitivamente no era buena idea que nos juntáramos a almorzar los tres

—Parece que no

Nos reímos lo socialmente aceptable de la situación

y con un "buen provecho" me fui

porque podré ser muchas cosas

pero si hay algo que jamás voy a perder

es el estilo



(Aunque después me toque buscar farmacia)

Crazy - Seal

In a church by the face
He talks about the people going under...

Only child know

A man decides after seventy years
that what he goes there for
is to unlock the door
while those around him criticize and sleep

And through a fracture on that breaking wall
I see you my friend
and touch your face again
Miracles will happen as we trip

But we're never gonna survive unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive unless
We are a little

Cray-cray... crazy

Crazy are the people walking through my head
One of them got a gun
to shoot the other one
and yet together they were friends at school

Get it, get it, get it, yeah!

If all were there when we first took the pill
Then maybe, then maybe
then maybe, then maybe
miracles will happen as we speak

But we're never gonna survive unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive unless
We are a little
Crazy

No no we'll never survive unless we get a little bit

Oh darling...

In a sky full of people only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy?
In a world full of people only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy?
Crazy!

In a heaven of people there's only some want to fly
Ain't that crazy?
Oh babe, Oh darlin'
In a world full of people there's only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy?
Isn't that crazy?
Isn't that crazy?
Isn't that crazy?

Oh...

But we're never gonna survive unless
we get a little crazy
Crazy
No we're never gonna to survive unless
we are a little
crazy

But we're never gonna survive unless
we get a little crazy
Crazy
No we're never gonna to survive unless
we are a little
crazy

No no never survive unless we get a little bit..

La poesía es la única verdad

Never fear the argument of violence

It is better to die for what you believe in

rather than to lie to save your life*

*Es mejor morir por lo que crees

que mentir para salvar tu vida.

Hombre al agua - Soda Stereo

Meses navegando
tierra a la vista
todo volverá a ser como fue

Las luces de la costa
son faros del pasado
todo volverá a ser como fue

Y cuando salto de cubierta
y me abandono a la corriente

Nuevas formas crecen
son tan atractivas
quiero descansar de todo ayer

Y voy flotando por el río
voy envuelto en la corriente

Hombre al agua
voces que se agitan
hombre al agua
barco a la deriva

Y voy flotando por el río
descansando en la corriente

Hombre al agua
voces que se agitan
hombre al agua
barco a la deriva

Amaneció
abre los ojos
me iré con estas olas
no estés preocupada
todos gritarán:
hombre al agua!

Voces que se agitan
barco a la deriva...

Don't Hold Back - Dewain Whitmore

I used to live in the shadow of doubt
and hold it in instead of shout it out
That was me
that was then
but not anymore
not anymore

No more pretending to agree
ignoring that voice inside of me
Scared to say
what I feel
I'm not at war with myself anymore

I won't hold back
I won't hold back
I've had enough
I'm over that
I say what I feel and mean what I say
If I go down in flames, you'll remember my name

No back and forth
been down that road
From this moment on
I'm in control
I know where I stand, I know when
I'll say it again:

I won't hold back, oh no
I won't hold back
I can't hold back

I used to smile and nod my head
where my soul got a thousand deaths
That was me
that was then
that was yesterday
yesterday

I found out that I can never be
What someone else wants me to be
I gotta be me
and nobody else
I'm not gonna second guess myself

I won't hold back
I won't hold back
I've had enough
I'm over that
I say what I feel and mean what I say
If I go down in flames, you'll remember my name

No back and forth
been down that road
From this moment on
I'm in control
I know where I stand, I know when
I'll say it again:

I won't hold back, oh no
I won't hold back
I can't hold back

There's nothing more beautiful
than the feeling
of reaching for the dream that you always believed in

There's nothing more beautiful
than the feeling
of reaching for the dream that you always believed in

I won't hold back
I won't hold back
I've had enough
I'm over that
I say what I feel and mean what I say
If I go down in flames, you'll remember my name

No back and forth
been down that road
From this moment on
I'm in control
I know where I stand, I know when
I'll say it again:

I won't hold back, oh no

Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest: Pirate...

*The Kraken is about to destroy the Pearl*

Jack: Abandon ship. Into the longboat.

Gibbs: Jack... The Pearl!

Jack: She's only a ship, mate.

Elizabeth: He's right. We have to head for land.

Pintel: It's a lot of open water.

Ragetti: It's a lot of water.

Will: We have to try. We can get away as it takes down the Pearl.

Gibbs: Abandon ship. Abandon ship or abandon hope.

Elizabeth: Thank you, Jack.

Jack: We're not free yet, love.

Elizabeth: You came back. I always knew you were a good man.

*Elizabeth kisses Jack. Will sees them*

Gibbs: Prepare to cast off. There's no time to lose. Come on, Will. Step to!

*Chains click. Elizabeth has chained Jack to the Pearl*

Elizabeth: It's after you, not the ship. This is the only way, don't you see? I'm not sorry.

Jack: *smiling* Pirate...

*Elizabeth gets in the boat*

Will: Where's Jack?

Elizabeth: He elected to stay behind to give us a chance... Go!

* * *

Elizabeth is in love with Jack but it's going to marry Will. In her mind, the only way to stop loving Jack is destroying their relationship... by killing him...

Her last line, given the circumstances, has all the logic in the world...

Animal - Neon Trees

Here we go again
I kinda want to be more than friends
So take it easy on me
I'm afraid you're never satisfied

Here we go again
we're sick like animals, we play pretend
You're just a cannibal
and I'm afraid I won't get out alive

No, I won't sleep tonight

Oh, oh, I want some more
Oh, oh, what are you waiting for?
Take a bite of my heart tonight

Oh, oh, I want some more
Oh, oh, what are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight

Here we are again
I feel the chemicals kicking in
It's getting heavy
and I want to run and hide
I want to run and hide

I do it every time
you're killing me now
And I won't be denied by you
the animal inside of you

Oh, oh, I want some more
Oh, oh, what are you waiting for?
Take a bite of my heart tonight

Oh, oh, I want some more
Oh, oh, what are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight

Hush, hush, the world is quiet
Hush, hush, we both can't fight it
It's us that made this mess
Why can't you understand?

Whoa, I won't sleep tonight
I won't sleep tonight

Here we go again

Oh, oh, I want some more
Oh, oh, what are you waiting for?
Take a bite of my heart tonight

Oh, oh, I want some more
Oh, oh, what are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting

Here we go again, oh, oh
Here we go again, oh, oh
Here we go again, oh, oh
Say goodbye to my heart tonight

Oh, oh, I want some more
Oh, oh, what are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight

Frase del Giorno

La vida son 5 o 6 días que lo cambian todo

The tables can be turned

You could be last

You could be losing

You could be almost dead

but it doesn't mean anything

Believe

Your life can change in a split second

The tables can be turned

Luna roja - Soda Stereo

Él salió y dejó la casa vacía
se entregó al suave aire del desierto
y entonces la vió

La luna roja
sobre el mar negro
Luna roja

Primero león, luego cordero
ruega a Dios poder volver del desierto
desde que vió

La luna roja
sobre el mar negro
Luna roja

Cuidame, yo te cuidaré
yo también pagué placeres ciegos
y no quiero ver

La luna roja
sobre el mar negro
Luna roja

Luna roja...

Es peligrosa
es peligrosa
es peligrosa
es peligrosa

Te hace mortal
te hace mortal
te hace mortal...

Trafalgar Square

Siempre que paso frente a Trafalgar Square recuerdo lo que hiciste

Pasaste mi tarjeta y me dejaste empeñado como por 14000 pesos

Me enojé contigo

Supongo que tenía razón para enojarme

pero también

viendo hacía atrás

realmente no era para tanto

o sí?

Vinyl - Zoe

Hoy desperté deslizándome en un rayo de luna
Embriagado de ti
del calor de tu flor
Un huracán se levanta en la punta del cielo
Se abre paso hacia mí
con violencia de amor

Que me hará sentir
Que me hará soñar
O que me hará sufrir

Yo sé que nunca es sabio abrir tanto la puerta
Pero es que arrastro
con un peso mortal
Y aunque dijiste que era sólo cosa de una noche
Ya no me aguanto
por volverte a tener

En explosión, sin gravedad
Gotas de vinyl chorreando las nubes
En explosión, sin gravedad
Gotas de vinyl chorreando las nubes

Y aunque me digan que no eres una chica fácil
Ya no me aguanto por volverte a tener

En explosión, sin gravedad
Gotas de vinyl chorreando las nubes
En explosión, sin gravedad
Gotas de vinyl chorreando las nubes

La tigre e la neve - Innamoratevi

Vamos prestos, veloces, pero tranquilos, sin prisas, eh?

No se escribe así nada más poesías de amor, eh?

Son las más difíciles, se ha de tener al menos 80 años.

Escriban sobre otro argumento, no sé...

...el mar, el viento, un termosifón, un tren con retraso...

No existe una cosa más poética que otra, han comprendido?

La poesía no está afuera, está dentro.

Qué es la poesía? No se lo pregunten, mírense al espejo:

La poesía eres tú.

Y vistan bien a la poesía, busquen bien las palabras!

Deben elegir la adecuada.

A veces puede llevarles 8 meses encontrar esa palabra.

Elíjanlas, que la belleza comenzó cuando alguien comenzó a elegir.

Desde Adán y Eva... Saben cuanto le llevó a Eva encontrar la hoja adecuada?

"Cómo me queda esta, o esta y esta?" Podó todos los árboles del paraíso terrenal.

Enamórense! Si no se enamoran está todo muerto, muerto está todo!

Al enamorarse todo despierta a la vida, se mueve todo.

Dilapiden el gozo, despilfarren la alegría!

Estén tristes y callados con exuberancia.

Alienten en el rostro de la gente la felicidad.

Y como se hace?... Déjenme mirar los apuntes, que lo he olvidado...

Esto es lo que deben hacer... *busca y deja sus notas* no alcancé a leerlos, ya me he acordado.

Para trasmitir la felicidad, es necesario ser felices

y para trasmitir el dolor... es necesario ser felices.

Sean felices! Tienen que padecer, sentirse mal, sufrir.

No tengan miedo a sufrir, todo el mundo sufre! eh?

Y si no tienen los medios, no importa. Para hacer poesía una sola cosa es necesaria: Todo.

Entendieron...? No busquen la novedad, es la cosa más antigua que hay.

Y si un verso no viene en esta posición, o en esta o esta otra... Bah! Tírense al suelo, pónganse así...! Perfecto!

Desde aquí se ve el cielo, mira que belleza!

Por qué no me habré puesto así antes?

Qué miran? Los poetas no miran, observan. Las palabras deben obedecerlos.

Si la palabra... "muro" no les obedece, no la usen más durante 8 años, así aprende.

Que es esto? *señalando el muro* Bah! No lo sé!

Esto es la belleza, como esos versos de allá, que quiero queden escritos por siempre.

Vamos, borren todo, lo volveremos a hacer, la clase terminó. Nos vemos el miércoles, jueves...

Adiós, hasta la próxima!

Sudestada - Gustavo Cerati (Reversiones Remix)

A ver, a ver
si aclara
Hablé de vos
de mis ansias

Del día que nació
en tu boca
Del nuevo temporal
que estalla

Afuera mis
entrañas
Adentro sigue
en calma

Trataba de explicar
que ya no hay vuelta atrás

Hablé, hablé
de todo

* * *

Es interesante cómo se aprecia la voz de Cerati por lo minimalista de esta versión.

Enjoy!

Mentiras - Los Amigos Invisibles

Te cuentan que me vieron paseando en la ciudad
con una ropa fina y con cara de galán
Mirando a todas las chicas pasar frente a mí
pero eso es imposible, yo nunca estuve ahí

Cuando no estás conmigo yo me porto bien
Me quedo encerrado viendo la TV
No salgo ni a la esquina ni hablo con mi vecina
Aunque no te lo niego sigue estando divina

Esas son puras mentiras
Esa noche yo no andaba ahí
Debes estar confundida
o había un tipo igualito a mí

Esas son puras mentiras
Esa noche yo no andaba ahí
Debes estar confundida
o había un tipo igualito a mí

Me dices que me viste en una página Web
Con dos jebas al lado y una birra también
Que estaba muy contento y como distraído
Te juro yo esa hora estaba más que dormido

No sé de qué me hablas, yo no sé que pasa
Tu siempre por ahí y yo tranquilo en mi casa
Leyéndome unos libros pa' poder comprender
Cómo debo tratarte y entenderte mujer

Esas son puras mentiras
Esa noche yo no andaba ahí
Debes estar confundida
o había un tipo igualito a mí

Mentira
mentira
mentira
mentira

Mentira
mentira
mentira

Esas son puras mentiras
Esa noche yo no andaba ahí
Debes estar confundida
o había un tipo igualito a mí

Esas son puras mentiras
Esa noche yo no andaba ahí
Debes estar confundida
o había un tipo igualito a mí

The Top Five Regrets of the Dying

Bronnie Ware is an Australian palliative care nurse, caring for patients in the last weeks of their lives. In her book, The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, she documents the clarity of vision of the terminally ill patients whom she interviewed about having regrets. These were the top five regrets:

1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

2. I wish I hadn't worked so hard.

3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.

4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.

5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

Pets - Porno For Pyros

Children are innocent
A teenager's fucked up in the head
Adults are even more fucked up
and elderlies are like children

Will there be another race
to come along and take over for us?
Maybe martians could do
better than we've done

We'll make great pets!

We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!

We'll make great pets!

My friend says we're like the dinosaurs
Only we are doing ourselves in
much faster than they
ever did

We'll make great pets!

We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!

We'll make great pets!

We will make great pets

We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We will make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!

We'll make great pets!
