Where does it come from?
When everything watched outside
Busted and blue.
— Sometimes I think you just might really be the devil.
— Sometimes I think I might be, too.
How can I then return in happy plight
That am debarred the benefit of rest?
When day's oppression is not eased by night,
But day by night and night by day oppressed;
And each (though enemies to either's reign)
Do in consent shake hands to torture me,
The one by toil, the other to complain
How far I toil, still farther off from thee.
I tell the day to please him thou art bright,
And dost him grace when clouds do blot the heaven;
So flatter I the swart-complexioned night,
When sparkling stars twire not thou gild'st the even:
But day doth daily draw my sorrows longer,
And night doth nightly make griefs' strength seem stronger.
Sí me haces falta
Tú me haces falta
Sí te recuerdo, te extraño,
te siento en el alma
Sí me haces falta
Tú me haces falta
Sí me arrepiento, me odio, estoy desesperada.
(Spanish)
Dear friend, how do you put up with spleen?
Choose drunkenness or sport?
Et moi j'ai le cœur aussi gros
Qu'un cul de dame damascène
O mon amour je t'aimais trop
Et maintenant j'ai trop de peine
Les sept épées hors du fourreau
Life is very busy these days. There are too many people, and everyone wants what the other has. Years ago, you could find a place to sit in the train every now and then, but these days, it's difficult... When my wife died, she got a horizontal burial cot. I tried to buy a burial cot for myself the other day, and what they offered me was a vertical one. I've spent my whole life standing in trains and buses, now I'll even have to stand when I'm dead!
What's the time?
Seems it's already morning.
I see the sky,
It's so beautiful and blue.
The TV's on but the only thing
Showing is a picture of you.
Oh I get up and make myself some coffee.
I try to read a bit but the story's
Too thin.
I thank the lord above that you're
Not here to see me in the shape I'm in.
