TROUBLE IS A FRIEND
By: Lenka

Trouble he will find you no matter where you go, oh oh
No matter if you're fast, no matter if you're slow, oh oh
The eye of the storm or the cry in the mourn, oh oh
You're fine for a while but you start to lose control

He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh!

Trouble is a friend but trouble is a foe, oh oh
And no matter what I feed him he always seems to grow, oh oh
He sees what I see and he knows what I know, oh oh
So don't forget as you ease on down the road

He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh

So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm
I won't let him win, but I'm a sucker for his charm
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh!



Oh how I hate the way he makes me feel
And how I try to make him leave, I try
Oh oh, I try!

He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh



So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm
I won't let him win, but I'm a sucker for his charm
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh!
Ooo, oh ooo, ooo ahh

[SONG] Shanghai Tan


Cantonese lyrics:

Long ban long lau
maan lei tou tou gong seoi wing bat jau
Tou zeon liu sai gaan si
wan zok tou tou jat pin ciu lau

Si hei si sau
long lei fan bat cing fun siu bei jau
Seng gung sat baai
long lei hon bat ceot jan mei jau

Reffr :

Moi nei han nei man gwan zi fau
Ci daai gong jat faat bat sau
Zyun cin waan zyun cin taan
Jik mei peng fuk ci zung zaang dau

Jau jau hei jau jau sau
Zau syun fan bat ceng fun siu bei jau
Jing jyun faan baak cin long
Zoi ngo sam zung hei fuk gau


English Translation:
-------------------------

Rushing waves, flowing waves
Thousand miles of the torrential river
flows ceaselessly forever
Washed away the worldly affairs

Torrential mixing of the tidal currents
is it happiness? is it sorrow?
Hard to differentiate
between happiness and sorrow in the waves

Success losing
Hard to see in the waves
Love you, hate you
Asked you if you know

Like a giant river,
once distributed will not be withdrawn
Passed by in many bays
Passed by many beaches

Still not yet to suppress these struggles
Both happiness and sorrow
Unable to differentiate between them

Still wishing to overcome these waves
My heart has enough of those rises and falls
Still wishing to overcome these waves
My heart has enough of those rises and falls

[SONG] A Lover's Concerto (JS Bach's Minuet)


Lovers' Concerto


How gentle is the rain
That falls softly on the meadow
Birds high up on the trees
Serenade the clouds with their melody

Oh!

See there beyond the hill
The bright colours of the rainbow
Some magic from above
Made this day for us, just to fall in love

You'll hold me in your arms
And say once again you'll love me
And that your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful

Now, I belong to you
From this day until forever
Just love me tenderly
And I'll give to you every part of me

Oh!

Don't ever make me cry
Through long lonely nights without us
Be always true to me
Keep this day in your heart eternally

You hold me in your arms
And say once again you love me
And that your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful


-----------------------


Original melody partiture is from JS Bach's Minuet

Bach's Minuet is on 6/8 bar, meanwhile The Lover's Concerto is on 4/4 bar.

[Song] Come What May



COME WHAT MAY

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Everyday I love you more and more

Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time


***

Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day

***

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you

And there's no mountain too high, no river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time

***

Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day

***


Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place...
Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day

****

[Song] Thank You



I’ve been thinking lately
‘bout the time
you've spend with me
and I’ve been wondering
if you really knew

Everybody needs someone
to help them through the maze
Did you realize
my someone’s you

I’ve been down and out
and you’ve been there

I’ve been less then kind
sometimes I know

I don’t have to see your face
to know you care
And you’ve been a friend to me

Thank you, for being mine forever
For being by my side
You know I love you
And I need you to thank you

Sometimes when it’s late night
And everything is cold
I think about you and I
feel warm inside

Maybe I’ve neglected you
And so it's time you told
You have helped me make it
through my life

Let me say the words
that you should hear
Let me say them till
I made it clear

I believed that
love is more than
just a kiss
And you have shown me this

Reffr.
Thank you.....

Devoted To You


Darling you can count on me
'till the sun dries up the sea
Until then I'll always be
Devoted to you

I'll be yours 'till endless time
I'll adore your charms sublime
Guess by now you know that I'm
Devoted to you

I'll never hurt you
I'll never lie
I'll never be untrue
I'll never give you reason to cry
I'd be unhappy if you were blue

Through the years our love will grow
Like a river it will flow
It can't die because I'm so
Devoted to you

[Song] Thank You For The Music



I'm nothing special,
in fact I'm a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke,
you've probably heard it before
But I have a talent,
a wonderful thing
'cause everyone listens
when I start to sing
I'm so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud

So I say
Thank you for the music,
the songs I`m singing
Thanks for all the joy
they're bringing
Who can live without it,
I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance
what are we?

So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And Ive often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can? Well, whoever it was, Im a fan


So I say
Thank you for the music,
the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy
they're bringing
Who can live without it,
I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance
what are we?

So I say thank you
for the music
For giving it to me
I've been so lucky,
I am the girl
with golden hair
I wanna sing it out
to everybody
What a joy,
what a life,
what a chance!

So I say
Thank you for the music,
the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy
they're bringing
Who can live without it,
I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance
what are we?

So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

To Where You Are


Fly Me Up To Where You Are The Distant Star ...

Who can say for certain
Maybe you’re still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories so clear

Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You’re still an inspiration
Can it be (? )



That you are mine
Forever love
And you are watching over me
from up above

Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile



If only for a while to know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are

Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn’t faith believing
All power can’t be seen



As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me
everyday’

cause you are mine
Forever love
Watching me from up above

And I believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on
and never leave



Fly me up
To where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile

If only for a while
To know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are

I know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are

[Song] Wen Bie


WEN BIE


Qian chen wang shi cheng yun yan
masa silam menjadi asap dan awan


Xiao se zai bi ci mian qian
lenyap di hadapan kita berdua

Jiu shuan shuo guo liao zai jian
walau pun telah ucapkan selamat tinggal

Ye kan bu jian ni you xie ai yuan
tidak sedikit pun kelihatan sedih di wajahmu


Gei wo de yi qie ni
apa yg di pernah diucapkan kepada ku

bu guo shi zai fu yan
hanyalah serampangan belaka

Ni xiao de yue wu xie
semakin naif tawaan mu

Wo jiu hui ai ni ai de geng kuang ye
semakin liar pula cinta ku kepada mu

Zong zai sha na jian
hanya dalam sekejap

You yi xie liao jie
saya menyadari

Shuo guo de hua bu ke neng hui shi xian
ucapan mu tak kan pernah terwujud

Jiu zai yi zhuan yan
hanya dalam sesaat

Fa xian ni de lian
wajah senyum mu

Yi jing muo sheng bu hui zai xiang cong qian
menjadi asing tak seperti dulu

Wo di shi jie kai shi xia xue
dunia ku mulai bersalju (membeku)

Leng de rang wo wu fa duo ai yi tian
dinginnya membuatku tidak sanggup mencintai mu lagi
walau pun hanya untuk sehari

Leng de lian ying cang de yi han
sehingga sesal yang tersembunyi dalam hati

Dou na mo de ming xian
menjadi demikian jelas


Wo he ni wen bie
kita bercium untuk berpisah

Zai wu ren de jie
di jalanan yang sunyi senyap

Rang feng chi xiao
membiarkan angin tertawakan ketidakmampuanku

Wo bu neng ju jue
Untuk menolak mu


Wo he ni wen bie
kita bercium untuk berpisah

Zai kuang luan de ye
di malam yg histeria

Wo di xin gen zhe ying jie shang bei
hatiku, menunggu menghadang kepedihan

Xiang yao gei ni de si nian
Rindu yg ingin ku berikan kepada mu

Jiu xiang feng zheng duan liao xian
seperti layang layang terputus benangnya

Fei bu qing ni de shi jie
tidak sanggup terbang masuk ke dunia mu


Ye wen nuan bu liao ni de shi xian
juga tidak mampu menghangatkan pandangan mu

Wo yi jing kan jian
saya telah melihat

Yi ju bei ju zheng shang yan
sebuah tragedi sedang ditayangkan

Ju zhong mei you xi yue
tanpa keriangan di ujung pertunjukan

Wo ran ran duo zai ni di meng li mian
aku masih tersembunyi di dalam mimpi mu.

Love Changes Everything


Love, Love changes everything:
Hands and faces, Earth and sky,
Love, Love changes everything:
How you live and how you die

Love can make the summer fly,
Or a night seem like a lifetime.
Yes, Love, Love changes everything:
Now I tremble at your name.
Nothing in the World will ever be the same!
Love, Love changes everything:
Days are longer, words mean more.
Love, Love changes everything:
Pain is deeper than before.

Love will turn your world around,
And that world will last for ever.
Yes, Love, Love changes everything,
Brings you glory, brings you shame.
Nothing in the world will ever be the same!

Off into the world we go,
Planning futures, shaping years.
Love, bursts in, and suddenly
All our wisdom disappears.

Love makes fools of everyone:
All the rules we make are broken.
Yes, Love, Love changes everyone.
Live or perish in its flame.
Love will never, never let you be the same!

Memoirs of Sheraton


What do you hope, is what do you get. Senangnya kalau kalimat itu selalu dapat terjadi dalam hidup. Tapi seperti kita tahu, tidak semua hal yang kita harapkan, kita inginkan, kita bayangkan, dapat kita dapatkan, kita alami, dan kita peroleh. That's Life. A Probability Theory.

So, how would you do, when you find nothing that you hope? "Berhenti Berharap", kalau menurut versi Sheila on 7; atau yang lebih klasik mendayu-dayu, "Tiada lagi yang kuharapkan, Tiada lagi yang kuinginkan..." yang versi Mayang Sari, yang sekarang kelihatannya masih kelelahan karena selalu menjadi incaran wartawan infotainment itu...


Memoirs of A Night in Sheraton

Saat-saat bermalam di Sheraton tempo hari, membuat saya mendapati hal-hal yang secara praktek, berbeda dengan ekspektansi yang sudah terlanjur terbentuk. Saya lalu jadi teringat hal-hal lain, --dari yang penting sampai tidak penting, termasuk yang penting gak penting pula-- :) Situasi-situasi lain, saat-saat di mana kita mendapati what we've got was not the same as what we've expected. Situasi-situasi di mana kita biasanya pasrah lalu berucap, "Ya sudahlah, apa boleh buat, keadaannya memang demikian....."
-
Ketika ada ekspektansi yang tidak sesuai dengan realitas, bila berlarut-larut biasanya kita akan tiba di ujungnya pada suatu titik di mana kita rasanya jadi belajar untuk tahu kapan berhenti untuk berharap. Kita jadi mengamini kalimat lagu Mayang, "tiada lagi yang kuharapkan, tiada lagi yang kuinginkan..." Ini mengingatkan pada postingan di blog ini juga beberapa waktu lalu, "when enough is enough... kalau pun hidup itu samudera, kita tahu batasnya; kalau pun hidup itu lautan, kita tahu dasarnya, kalau pun hidup itu langit, kita tahu batas cakrawalanya...."

Harapan-harapan di awal, yang terlanjur muncul sebagai bayangan tentang apa yang akan dijumpai, didapatkan, dialami di Sheraton, yang ternyata ya biasa-biasa saja... :) yang ternyata ya begitulah keadaannya, take it or leave it.... membuat saya pada saat itu tiba pada kesadaran itu....bahwa hidup memang tidak selalu merealisasikan bayangan-bayangan harapan. Berbagai kemungkinan memang dapat terjadi, namun semua ada batasannya, mana yang real, mana yang obsesi, mana yang ilusi :)

Lesson from Memoirs of Geisha the Movie

Apalagi, pada malam itu, ketika saya ternyata mendapati diri tertidur seorang diri di ranjang kamar 1207 Sheraton Media Hotel --karena rekan kantor yang sedianya hari itu sharing room with me, tidak jadi bermalam di hotel, dan tidak sempat memberitahu-- saya terbangun dan mendapati di TV yang masih menyala, malam itu kebetulan sedang menayangkan film Memoirs of a Geisha, dari layar HBO.

Film itu saya sudah nonton di bioskop beberapa masa silam. Film yang cukup memorable juga... waktu itu saya menonton film itu bersama seorang teman yang waktu itu cukup dekat, tapi sayangnya sekarang dia sudah menghilang, bahkan tampaknya dia sudah tidak mau juga untuk bicara lagi, atau bertukar kabar.... Hiks... this one still make me sad, sometimes ...

Entah kebetulan, entah memang malam itu saya "ditakdirkan" untuk sadar dan belajar tentang harapan dan realitas... di film Memoirs of Geisha itu, ada dialog-dialog yang pas betul ... Dituturkan di bagian hampir ending film, tentang tokoh di film itu, di mana "realitas" bagi mereka adalah kondisi di mana mereka "tidak boleh berharap, tidak boleh punya harapan to love and to be loved, semacam-semacam itu...." Tentu itu versi konteks cerita di film itu.... Tapi yang mau saya katakan di sini, hal-hal semacam itu seringkali kita jadikan "penghiburan" diri, ketika kita menemui bahwa realitas tidak sesuai dengan harapan... Kita menyerah di balik apa yang kita sebut dan yakini sebagai takdir... Menyalahkan pada garis tangan ...

Realistic, but still Optimistic (0r vice versa: Optimistic but still Realistic)

Menarik, kata-kata yang diucapkan oleh tokoh Sayuri (Zhang Zi-Yi) di film itu, tentang her romance with Mr Chairman, "Can you see.. that every steps I made, those made me closer to you...to reach you...." (dengan visualisasi Sayuri kecil melangkah agak berlari dengan bersemangat menyusuri koridor panjang berwarna cerah... --lihat gambar di bagian atas posting ini-- )


Life is Good, said LG Advertising. When there is hope, there is way.
Hope makes life possible, Faith makes life working, and Love makes life brighter and happy.

Then, I recall a song which questioned about "Do you know, what you're hoping for..."


Do You Know Where You're Going To?

Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to?
Do you know?

Do you get what you're hoping for?
When you look behind you there's no open door
What are you hoping for?
Do you know?

Once we were standing still in time
Chasing the fantasies that filled our minds
You knew how I loved you, but my spirit was free
Laughing at the questions that you once asked of me

Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to?
Do you know?

Now looking back at all we've had
We let so many dreams just slip through our hands
Why must we wait so long before we see
How sad the answers to those questions can be?

Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to?
Do you know?

Do you get what you're hoping for?
When you look behind you there's no open door
What are you hoping for?
Do you know?

Ghost Story ...


A GHOST STORY

In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came
That voice which calls to me, and speaks my name
And do I dream again, for now I find
The Phantom of the Opera is there inside my mind

PHANTOM
Sing once again with me, our strange duet
My power over you grows stronger yet
And though you turn from me to glance behind
The Phantom of the Opera is there inside your mind

Those who have seen your face, draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear , It's me they hear...
Your/My spirit and my/your voice in one combined
The Phantom of the Opera is there inside my/your mind

He’s there, the phantom of the opera!
He’s there, the phantom of the opera
-
PHANTOM
Sing, my Angel of Music! Sing, my Angel!
Sing for me! Sing, my Angel!
Sing for me!

Music of The Night ...



THE MUSIC OF THE NIGHT


Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses

Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night
-
Close you eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
purge your thoughts of the life you knew before
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
And you'll live as you've never lived before

Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it, secretly posess you
Open up your mind,
Let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night

Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world
Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before
Let your soul take you where you long to be!
Only then can you belong to me
-
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night
-
You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night
-
THE MUSIC OF THE NIGHT

Goes Round The Moon


Sometimes the snow comes down in June
sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
sometimes It's all a big surprise


'cause there was a time when all I did was wish
you'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped or how I planned
but some how it's enough

and now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
just when I thought our chance had passed
you go and save the best for last

all of the nights you came to me
when some silly girl had set you free
you wondered how you'd make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you


'cause how could you give your love to someone else
and share your dreams with me
sometimes the very thing you're looking for
is the one thing you can't see

but now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
just when I thought our chance had passed
you'd go and save the best for last

sometimes the very thing you're looking for
is the one thing you can't see
sometimes the snow comes down in june
sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon


just when I thought our chance had passed
you'd go and save the best for last
you went and saved the best for last

How does she know you love her?

"How do I know he loves me?"
(How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you love her?)
"How do I know he's mine?"
(How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?)

Well does he leave a little note to tell you you are on his mind?
Send you yellow flowers when the sky is grey? Heyy!
He'll find a new way to show you, a little bit everyday
That's how you know, that's how you know!
He's your love...

M:
You've got to show her you need her
Don't treat her like a mind reader
Each day do something to need her
To believe you love her

Everybody wants to live happily ever after
Everybody wants to know their true love is true...
How do you know he loves you?
(How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you need her?)
How do you know he's yours?
(How does she know that you really, really, truely-)

Well does he take you out dancin' just so he can hold you close?
Dedicate a song with words in
Just for you? Ohhh!

All:
He'll find his own way to tell you
With the little things he'll do
That's how you know
That's how you know!

F:
He's your love
He's your love...

(la la la la la la la la)
He loves you
(la la la la la la la la)
That's how you know
(la la la la la la la la)
It's true
(la la la la la)

Because he'll wear your favorite color
Just so he can match your eyes
Rent a private picnic
By the fires glow-oohh!

All:
His heart will be yours forever
Something everyday will show
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know!

F:
He's your love...

M:
That's how she knows that you love her
That's how you show her you love her

F:
That's how you know...
That's how you know...
He's your love...

[Song] Getting to Know You


From the Musical -Anna & The King-
Getting to know you,
Getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you,
Getting to hope you like me.

Getting to know you,
Putting it my way,
But nicely,
You are precisely,
My cup of tea.

Getting to know you,
Getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you,
Getting to hope you like me.

Getting to know you,
Putting it my way,
But nicely,
You are precisely,
My cup of tea.

Getting to know you,
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you,
Getting to know what to say

Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy?
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day.

Getting to know you,
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you,
Getting to know what to say

Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy?
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day .. by ... day...

We share memories
I won't forget
And we'll share more, My friend,
We haven't started yet
Something happens
When we're together

When I look at you I wonder why
There has to come
A time when we must say goodbye
I'm alive when we are together

Sarah & JOse :
Amigos para siempre
Means you'll always be my friend
Amics per sempre
Means a love that cannot end
Friends for life
Not just a summer or a spring

I feel you near me
Even when we are apart
Just knowing you are in this world
Can warm my heart
Friends for life
Not just a summer or a spring

Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again

Song for The Haunted One(s)


You were once my one companion . . .
you were all that mattered . . .
You were once a friend and partner,
then my world was shattered . . .


Wishing you were somehow here again . . .
wishing you were somehow near . . .
Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed,
somehow you would be here . . .


Wishing I could hear your voice again . . .
knowing that I never would . . .
Dreaming of you won't help me to do
all that you dreamed I could . . .


Passing bells and sculpted angels,
cold and monumental,
seem, for you the wrong companions
- you were warm and gentle . . .


Too many years fighting back tears . . .
Why can't the past just die . . .?


Wishing you were somehow here again . . .
knowing we must say goodbye . . .
Try to forgive, teach me to live . . .
give me the strength to try . . .


No more memories, no more silent tears . . .
No more gazing across the wasted years . . .
Help me say goodbye.
Help me say goodbye!


---Liric by Charles Hart, Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
---From The Famous Musical "The Phantom of The Opera"







Song Lullaby: Whistle Down The Wind

Whistle down the wind
Let your voices carry
Drown out all the rain
Light a patch of darkness

Treacherous and scary
Howl at the stars
Whisper when you're sleepy
I'll be there you hold you

I'll be there to stop
The chills and all the weeping
Make it clear and strong
So the whole night long

Every signal that you send
Until the very end
I will not abandon you

my precious friend

So try and stand the tide
Then you'll raise a banner
Send a flare up in the sky
Try to burn a torch


And try to build a bonfire
Every signal that you send
Until the very end

I'm there

So whistle down the wind
For I have always been
Right there ....


--- Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
--- From the Musical "Whistle Down The Wind"
--- Available performance by Tina Arena


Whistle Down the Wind is a musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, based on the 1961 film Whistle Down the Wind. The lyrics are by Jim Steinman, known for his work with Meat Loaf, Bonnie Tyler and others. Based on the novel of the same name by Mary Hayley Bell, the setting was moved from Lancashire to small town Louisiana in 1959. It tells the story of three children - 16 year old Swallow, sister Bluejay (known as Brat), and younger brother Robin (known as Poor Baby) - as they approach their first Christmas since the death of their mother. Discovering an escaped criminal hiding in their barn, they become convinced that he is Jesus, and agree to keep his location secret. The plot contrasts the innocence of the children with the fervour of the town's residents to inflict punishment on the supposed evil in their midst. (http://www.wikipedia.com/)
