this is beautiful...
Robert Frost - "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening"
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sounds the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
the original version of La Cucaracha, not the mutilated English one
La Cucaracha
Coro:
La cucaracha, la cucaracha,
Ya no puede caminar;
Porque no tiene, porque le falta
Marijuana que fumar.
Ya murio la cucaracha, Ya la llevan a enterrar, Entre cuatro zopilotes Y un raton de sacristan. Con las barbas de Carranza, Voy a hacer una toquilla, Pa' ponersela al sombrero De su padre Pancho Villa. Un panadero fue a misa, No encontrando que rezar, Le pidio a la Virgen pura, Marijuana pa' fumar. Una cosa me da risa: Pancho Villa sin camisa; Ya se van los carrancistas Porque vienen los villistas. Para sarapes, Saltillo; Chihuahua para soldados; Para mujeres, Jalisco; Para amar, toditos lados.
hmm, so the "innocent" children's song, La Cucaracha, turns out to be about a cockroach on pot...
to all my friends, you guys rock
tait -- all you got
I heard you say that no one seems to care 'bout you
It's in your eyes, you think that life's unfair to you
Just give it all you got, my friend
Just give it all you got, it's not the end
Cause you oughta know
There's a reason for these changin' seasons
God only knows how much your heart can bear
So don't you let go
Everybody has their up and down times
Everybody needs to know how much they're loved
My friend
So hold on, it's not the end
As I remember everything you touch
Would turn to gold
You held the secrets
To make your grandest dreams unfold
You were the very best of us all
But the sun that rises still falls
It's just a love song
Cause everybody needs a friend
I'll be right here for you
It's just a simple prayer
It's from the bottom of my heart
That He'll never let you go
