Rodriguez - Forget it

                                                                               
But thanks for your time
Then you can thank me for mine
And after that's said
Forget it.
Don't be inane
There's no one to blame
No reason why
You should stay here
And lie to me.
Don't say anymore
Just walk out the door
I'll get along fine
You'll see.
But thanks for your time
Then you can thank me for mine
And after that's said
Forget it.
If there was a word
But magic's absurd
I'd make one dream come true.
It didn't work out
But don't ever doubt
How I felt about you.
But thanks for your time
Then you can thank me for mine
And after that's said
Forget it.

Rodriguez s-a nascut in 1942 in Detroit, Michigan. A scos doua albume: Cold fact (1970) si Coming from reality (1971) care s-au vandut in foarte putine exemplare. S-a retras din cariera muzicala si a lucrat apoi in constructii, mai precis in "demolari", ducand o viata aproape de pragul saraciei. Intre timp, fara ca el sa stie, pe la jumatatea anilor 70, o compilatie a pieselor lui Rodriguez a aparut pe CD in Africa de Sud si a castigat discul de platina. A fost comparat adesea cu Bob Dylan si Cat Stevans.
                                               

"Counting Stars" - Muzica: One Republic, Video: Little Lamby

                                                                         

                                                                                     
[Chorus]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Yeah, we'll be counting stars

[Verse 1]
I see this life
Like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
In my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye shall find

Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

I feel something so right
By doing the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

[Chorus]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

[Verse 2]
I feel the love
And I feel it burn
Down this river every turn
Hope is our four letter word
Make that money
Watch it burn

Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly

[Chorus]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

Oh, oh, oh.

[Bridge 4x:]
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sing in the river
The lessons I learned

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

[Chorus]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

[Outro 4x:]
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sing in the river
The lessons I learned

Parodie dupa Decembrie, muzica Nicu Alifantis

                                                               

Te uita cum ninge-n Ianuar,
Pe strada iubito priveste,
Mai spune s-aduca lopeti,
Si ura s-aud cum mocneste. 

Si mâna-i si tu pe baieti

Pe strazi, sa-nfruntam vijelia
Sau zilele noastre, totuna, 
Nu vreau sa-mi ascund isteria. 

Mai spune s-aduca si sare,
Si vino si tu mai aproape,
Citeste-mi ce zice Oprescu,
Eu cred ca el vrea sa ne-ngroape.

Ce cald e aici sub zapada,
Si gheaţa imi pare fierbinte,
Te uita cum ninge de-a valma,
Nu râde, citeste-nainte.

E ziua si ce intuneric,
Mai spune s-aduca si pluguri,
Copacii se-apleaca-n zapada,
Mai e pân' le dau primii muguri.

Eu nu ma mai duc azi acasa,
Ca drumul e-nchis inainte,
Te uita cum ninge de-a valma,
Nu râde, citeste-nainte.
