The Glory Of Love

Más allá de haberla conocido a través de la freak de The Orphan me pareció una canción muy bonita ;)



You've got to give a little, take a little,
And let your poor heart break a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.

You've got to laugh a little, cry a little,
Until the clouds roll by a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.

As long as there's the two of us,
We've got the world and all its charms.
And when the world is through with us,
We've got each others arms.

You've got to win a little, lose a little,
Yes, and always have the blues a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.

Aquellas pequeñas cosas...

You're Not Alone...

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore

Let me be the one you call
If you jump i'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face the day

Let me be the one you call
If you jump i'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

'Cause there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breathe again

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart

Para hablar de amor

I

Somos dos extraños
Que sienten un amor profundo
Somos dos extraños
Que poseemos lo más lindo del mundo

II

Somos dos extraños
Que algo raro sentimos
Somos dos extraños
Que algo raro vivimos

III

Somos dos extraños
Eso ayer descubrí
Y el error fue hablar de amor
Eso también ayer aprendí

IV

Y somos dos extraños
Que de la soledad escapamos
Quisimos escapar de la tristeza
Pero ya no lo logramos.

V

Somos dos extraños
También llamados soñadores
Porque creemos en el amor
Porque tenemos ilusiones

VI

Para hablar de amor
El tiempo decidirá
Hoy somos dos extraños
Pero el amor no morirá.

Adolfo Zarza Galeano

All We Need Is Just a Little Patience...

Shed a tear 'cause I'm missing you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
'Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you're in my heart now
Said woman take it slow
It'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said Sugar make it slow
And we'll come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
(inhale) Patience...

I sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now, I'll wait dear
Sometimes, I get so tense
But I can't speed up the time
But you know, love, there's one more thing to consider
Said woman take it slow
And things will be just fine
You and I just used a little patience
Said Sugar take the time
'Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I got what it takes to make it
We wont fake it
And never brake it
'Cause I cant take it


...little patience, mmm yeah, ooh yeah,
I need a little patience, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah
Some more pati... (ence, yeah)
I've been walking these streets at night
Just trying to get it right (Need some patience, yeah)
It's hard to see with so many around
You know I don't like being stuck in a crowd (Could use some patience, yeah)
And the streets don't change but maybe the name
I ain't got time for the game
'Cause I need you (Patience, yeah)
Yeah, yeah well I need you
Oh, I need you (Take some patience)
Whoa, I need you (Just a little patience is all we need)
Ooh, All this ti- me....

And So It Is...

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time

And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her skies

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time

And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes...
Eyes...

Oh, did I say
That I loathe you?
Did I say
That I want to leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind...
My mind
My mind...

Till I find somebody new

¿El país del Ricardito?

Recorriendo la cantina de la universidad, buscando algo baratito para engañar el hambre hasta la cena, me encontré con el siguiente producto:

A lo que pensé: "mirá que bien, al final parece que es verdad que el ricardito es un producto de exportación y todo eso que dicen en las publicidades". Por un segundo me sentí orgulloso.

Pero cuando me puse a buscar el cartelito de "industria uruguaya" me encontré con un muy distinto "Tilburg, Holland". Por un momento quise suponer que estos holandeses son unos ladrones, y que nos robaron el ricardito. Pero dejando el patriotismo de lado, y conociendo a mis compatriotas, comencé una pequeña investigación que me dejó sin palabras.

Resulta que estos bombones se llaman Buys Zoenen (besos de Buys) y existen desde 1920. En realidad este nombre es nuevo, ya que antes se llamaban negerzoenen (besos de negro), nombre que decidieron cambiar porque les parecía "un poco" racista, y tambien porque tal vez sonaba a beso ne...ok. Nuestra querida empresa Ricard existe desde 1970, es decir que lleva ¡50 años! robando la plata con el tema de que inventaron el ricardito. Notar las similitudes entre el logo de Buys y el de Ricard, también pueden entrar a www.buyszoenen.nl y www.ricard.com.uy y ver que sus páginas web tienen la misma estructura. ¡que plagio por dios!


Creo que desde que me enteré el asunto ese de los reyes magos no sufría una decepción de este tipo. ¡Sólo falta que el chajá sea japonés!
