Shiela Majid's Cinta Jangan Kau Pergi

Ku sadari kesalahan ini

Yang membuat segalanya

Gelap jadinya

Oh Kasih ku

Ku harap kau mau

Memaafkan menerima pengakuan ku

Jangan kau diam lagi

Ku tak sanggup menahan

bicaralah kau sayang

Jiwa ini tak tenang

Cinta jangan kau pergi

Tinggalkan diriku sendiri

Cinta jangan kau lari

Apalah arti hidup ini

Tanpa cinta dan kasih sayang

My Interpretation in English:

I realize this mistake

That caused it all

To be engulfed in darkness

Oh my love

I hope you can

Forgive me of my confession

Don't remain silent

I cannot bear it

Say something, love

This soul is restless

Love don't you go

Leaving me alone

Love don't you run away

What's the point of this life

Without love and pasion

ps to Jehan: Yes, lately it's been mushy. Bite me!

Sarah McLachlan's ANGEL

Spend all your time waiting

For that second chance

For a break that would make it okay

There's always one reason

To feel not good enough

And it's hard at the end of the day

I need some distraction

Oh beautiful release

Memory seeps from my veins

Let me be empty

And weightless and maybe

I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of an angel

Fly away from here

From this dark cold hotel room

And the endlessness that you fear

You are pulled from the wreckage

Of your silent reverie

You're in the arms of the angel

May you find some comfort there

So tired of the straight line

And everywhere you turn

There's vultures and thieves at your back

And the storm keeps on twisting

You keep on building the lie

That you make up for all that you lack

It don't make no difference

Escaping one last time

It's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh

This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

In the arms of an angel

Fly away from here

From this dark cold hotel room

And the endlessness that you fear

You are pulled from the wreckage

Of your silent reverie

You're in the arms of the angel

May you find some comfort there

You're in the arms of the angel

May you find some comfort here

Leona Lewis' rendition of "I Will Always Love You"

If I should stay,
I would only be in your way.
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you ev'ry step of the way.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
You, my darling you. Hmm.

Bittersweet memories
that is all I'm taking with me.
So, goodbye. Please, don't cry.
We both know I'm not what you, you need.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.

(Instrumental solo)

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of.
And I wish to you, joy and happiness.
But above all this, I wish you love.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I, I will always love you.

You, darling, I love you.
Ooh, I'll always, I'll always love you

The One For Mi Sol

I like to take a song, get rid of the lyrics, and rewrite new words to the music.

Here's one sung to Beyonce's "That's Why You're Beautiful" for Mi Sol . . . . te sabes quien eres.





The ice walls around me
Now melt with your intensity
That's why I love you so . .

The emptiness now feels full
With the love you've shown me
That's why I love you so . .

Chorus:
I don't really care . . .
How Why When Where
Just words to me
The answers are there . . .
Within both you and me
Just hold me close . . .
And you will know . . .

The blindness once misguided me . . .
Now you've shown the light . . .
That's why I love you so
Guide my heart to your side . . . Love . . .
Help me find my way . . .

Repeat Chorus

I've lived my life alone
Not needing anyone else
My spirit used to wonder
Unknowing where it should go
But now it's found its proper place . . .
Right next to yours

That's why I love you so
That's why I love you so . . .

India Arie - The Heart Of The Matter

This song is a remake of THE HEART OF THE MATTER by Don Henley (The Eagles). I first heard the cover version by India Arie in the Sex And The City: The Movie (Soundtrack) and I fell in love with it. I looked up the original version, and I must say, I prefer India Arie's version. This is her performing it live, but find the recorded version, and you'll agree with me. Also, check out the lyrics to the song. It's very moving.

Stay tuned to the end of the clip, and you'll find another song she sampled.

I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And all the struggles we went through
How I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?

I've been learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning them again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work they put between us,
You know it doesn't keep us warm

I've been trying to live without you now
But I miss you, baby
The more I know, the less I understand
And all the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my heart is so shattered
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

All the people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; cause life goes on
You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside

I wanna be happily everafter
And my heart is so shattered
But I know it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if you don't love me anymore
Even if you don't love me anymore
