Lynyrd Skynyrd - Lucky Man

Well it took so long for me to realize
That my destiny was right before my eyes
If it were up to me to travel through this life
I'd find an open space for me to live out all my dreams

I'm such a lucky man, I try to be a stronger man
I shed a tear or two but that don't make me a weaker man
It's made me a better man, I've given all I can
To a world that sometimes thinks that I'm a lesser man

I remember all the things I've been through
Gave myself to all those people I once knew
I'm such a lucky man

I'd like to thank you for the times that you have been with me
I hope it meant as much to you to share these memories
There's a guiding light that always seems to shine on me
If I did it again I'd be happy 'til the end

I'm a lucky man, I try to be a stronger man
I shed a tear or two but that don't make me a weaker man
It's made me a better man, I've given all I can
To a world that sometimes thinks that I'm a lesser man

I remember all the things I've been through
Gave myself to all those people I once knew
I'm such a lucky man

It's right here in the moonlight...

I'm a lucky man, I try to be a stronger man
I shed a tear or two but that don't make me a weaker man
It's made me a better man, I've given all I can
To a world that sometimes thinks that I'm a lesser man
I'm a lucky man

Στεκόμουν φθαρτός
-εμπρός σε ηδονές στεγνές.
Μα ταραχή δεν ένιωθα
-δεν κόβονταν η ανάσα.
Ρίγος ζητούσα
-μα ζητούσα πολλά.
Το «όλα ή τίποτα»
-κρύβει τόσες δήθεν ηδονές / όσες και πραγματικές οδύνες.
………………………………….
Μα ήσουν ιδέα ισχυρή
-κι έγινες ύλη και όνειρο μαζί.
Βρήκα την Ψυχή που ήθελα
-στο κορμί που ποθούσα.
Αυτό που σε συνεπαίρνει και χάνεσαι / ακατάπαυστα
Άλλοτε εικονική μορφή / σαν τελειότητα
κι άλλοτε ζουμερό φιλί / που κλέβει αίμα.

Πιες με αντάρα μου και κέρνα με πόθο ατελείωτο.
Κατάσαρκες επαφές
-λουσμένες στον ιδρώτα του πάντα.
Δίψα μου / καυτή ροή μου

Ζήσε με ανάσα μου κι ας είσαι η τελευταία μου.
Βαθύ μου λαχάνιασμα
-παντοτινή μου ερωμένη…

Eric Burdon - When I Was Young

The rooms were so much colder then
My father was a soldier then
And times were very hard
When I was young

I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And for girls, I had a bad yen
And I had quite a ball
When I was young

When I was young, it was more important
Pain more painful
Laughter much louder
Yeah, when I was young
When I was young

I met my first love at thirteen
She was brown and I was pretty green
And I learned quite a lot when I was young
When I was young

When I was young
It was more important
Pain more painful
Laughter much louder
Yeah, when I was young
When I was young

My faith was so much stronger then
I believed in fellow men
And I was so much older then
When I was young

Van Morrison - These Are The Days

These are the days of the endless summer
These are the days, the time is now
There is no past, there's only future
There's only here, there's only now

Oh your smiling face, your gracious presence
The fires of spring are kindling bright
Oh the radiant heart and the song of glory
Crying freedom in the night

These are the days by the sparkling river
His timely grace and our treasured find
This is the love of the one magician
Turned the water into wine

These are the days of the endless dancing and the
Long walks on the summer night
These are the days of the true romancing
When I'm holding you oh, so tight

These are the days by the sparkling river
His timely grace and our treasured find
This is the love of the one great magician
Turned the water into wine

These are the days now that we must savor
And we must enjoy as we can
These are the days that will last forever
You've got to hold them in your heart.
