I am a citizen of this planet, who believes there is a purpose and mission to our existence. I pursue that mission and try to enjoy every lesson, every day, and every last drop of the pain and joy we drink when we live. I live a mostly regret-free life, with each failure quickly becoming a valuable experience and something to laugh about, and every success something about which to be thankful and celebrative. I do all of this in and around my beloved Berkeley, California.

Love Songs
Ebi sings Ghebleh, one of my most favorite love songs.
Do you have a love song you would like to share with me?
Oh, there is a wonderful band from Oakland called Charming Hostess (an odd name, I don't know what it has to do with their music). Here are two of their most lovely love songs:
"Dame La Mano"
http://www.fileqube.com/file/kbCkgMi148131
(based on a traditional Ladino song... the first verse means "If the sea were made of milk, with cinnamon-sticks for boats, I would plunge in and stain myself completely just to save one glimpse of you.")
and
"The Touch of Her Hands"
http://www.fileqube.com/file/BbLFQJ148129
(which is from the actual diary/love letters of Walter Benjamin)
Here is another favorite of mine, by Van Morrison:

Thank you for sharing so much of your heart,... may it bring you good returns!
What a great idea Nazy Khanoom!
ReplyDeleteHere's my favorite love song of all time, Layla by Eric Clapton.

Just as I was thinking, which song am I going to write about... I heard this song from my play list...
ReplyDeleteEsena Mono - by Kaiti Garbi
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PI9v4hxiT4
And know what ...I also found a farsi cover of this song :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9yZAmQrDS0
Heres a translation of the original greek song:
No one else = Esena Mono (only you)
Is on my mind
No one else
Is closer to me
No one else
Can be beside me
I have a
very big problem
No one else
Do I approach
I'll put my dreams
In your hands
No one else
Is in my heart
The things they say
They will say in front of you
You are the only one
That I hold in my arms
Happiness and hurt
I share with you
You are the only one
Who touches me
My heart and body
I give only to you
I have never met
Anyone else
Who can solve the magic
of my loneliness
I have felt like this
About anyone
You are a part
Of my every thought
I haven't yet
Found anyone
Who can change
The color of the sky
I haven't put
Anyone before you
Your heart should not
Be afraid of me
You are the only one
That I hold in my arms
Happiness and hurt
I share with you
You are the only one
Who touches me
My heart and body
I give only to you
My heart and body
I give only to you
