Tình Xa

nhạc sĩ: Trịnh Công Sơn

Ngày tháng nào đã ra đi khi ta còn ngồi lại
Cuộc tình nào đã ra khơi ta còn mãi nơi đây
Từng người tình bỏ ta đi như những dòng sông nhỏ
Ôi những dòng sông nhỏ lời hẹn thề là những cơn mưa...
Khi bước chân ta về, đêm khuya nhìn đường phố,
Thành phố hoang vu như một lần qua cuộc tình
Làm sao em biết đời sống buồn tênh...
Đôi khi ta lắng nghe ta,
Nghe sóng âm u dội vào đời buốt giá
Hồn ta gió cát phù du bay về...
Đôi khi trên mái tình ta nghe những giọt mưa,
Tình réo tình âm thầm,
Sầu réo sầu bên bờ... vực sâu
Còn thấy gì sáng mai đây thôi ta còn bạn bè
Giọt rượu nào mãi chua cay trong tình vẫn u mê...
Từ một ngày tình ta như núi rừng cúi đầu
Ôi tiếng buồn rơi đều,
nhìn lại mình đời đã xanh rêu....
Xin hăy cho mưa qua miền đất rộng
Để người phiêu lãng quên mình lãng du

Nói cùng anh

Xuân Quỳnh
Em vẫn biết đấy là điều đã cũ
Chuyện tình yêu, quan trọng gì đâu:
Sự gắn bó giữa hai người xa lạ
Nỗi vui buồn đem chia sẻ cùng nhau
Em đâu dám nghĩ là vĩnh viễn
Hôm nay yêu, mai có thể xa rồi
Niềm đau đớn tưởng như vô tận
Bỗng có ngày thay thế một niềm vui
Điều hôm nay ta nói, ngày mai
Người khác lại nói lời yêu thuở trước
Đời sống chẳng vô cùng, em biết
Và câu thơ đâu còn mãi ngày sau
Chẳng có gì quan trọng lắm đâu
Như không khí, như màu xanh lá cỏ
Nhiều đến mức tưởng như chẳng có
Trước cuộc đời rộng lớn mênh mang
Nhưng lúc này anh ở bên em
Niềm vui sướng trong ta là có thật
Như chiếc áo trên tường, như trang sách
Như chùm hoa mở cánh trước hiên nhà
Em hiểu rằng mỗi lúc đi xa
Tình anh đối với em là xứ sở
Là bóng rợp trên con đường nắng lửa
Trái cây thơm trên miền đất khô cằn
Đó Tình yêu em muốn nói cùng anh
Nguồn gốc của muôn ngàn khát vọng
Lòng tốt để duy trì sự sống
Cho con người thực sự Người hơn.
Em chờ và em tin.
Dù trái tim không vậy-
Chúng ta ở đôi bờ
Một dòng sông nào đấy...

You Are Not Alone
------Diana Ross
(R. Kelly)
Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone, alone, why
Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
You are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone
Whisper three words then I'll come running
And boy you know that I'll be there
I'll be there
You are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far away
I am here to stay
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone
You are not alone...

Little Susie
Somebody killed little Susie
The girl with the tune
Who sings in the daytime at noon
She was there screaming
Beating her voice in her doom
But nobody came to her soon...
A fall down the stairs
Her dress torn
Oh the blood in her hair...
A mystery so sullen in air
She lie there so tenderly
Fashioned so slenderly
Lift her with care,
Oh the blood in her hair...
Everyone came to see
The girl that now is dead
So blind stare the eyes in her head...
And suddenly a voice from the crowd said
This girl lived in vain
Her face bear such agony, such strain...
But only the man from next door
Knew Little Susie and how he cried
As he reached down
To close Susie's eyes...
She lie there so tenderly
Fashioned so slenderly
Lift her with care
Oh the blood in her hair...
It was all for God's sake
For her singing the tune
For someone to feel her despair
To be damned to know hoping is dead and you're doomed
Then to scream out
And nobody's there...
She knew no one cared...
Father left home, poor mother died
Leaving Susie alone
Grandfather's soul too had flown...
No one to care
Just to love her
How much can one bear
Rejecting the needs in her prayers...
Neglection can kill
Like a knife in your soul
Oh it will
Little Susie fought so hard to live...
She lie there so tenderly
Fashioned so slenderly
Lift her with care
So young and so fair

i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!
Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love and forget how to hate...

Wish You Were Here
(Waters, Gilmour)
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
Xin hăy cho mưa qua miền đất rộng
Để người phiêu lãng quên mình lãng du

The Girl From Yesterday
Eagle
It wasn't really sad the way they said good-bye
Or maybe it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry
He packed his things, walked out the door and drove away
And she became the girl from yesterday
He took a plane across the sea to some foreign land
She stayed at home and tried so hard to understand
How someone who had been so close could be so far away
And she became the girl from yesterday
She doesn't know what's right
She doesn't know what's wrong
She only knows the pain that comes from waiting so long
And she doesn't count the teardrops
That she's cried while he's away
Because she knows deep in her heart
That he'll be back someday
The light's on in the window; she's waiting by the phone
Talking to a memory that's never coming home
She dreams of his returning and the things that he might say
But she'll always be the girl from yesterday
Yeah, she'll always be the girl from yesterday
Quan quan kìa tiếng thư cưu
Đôi chim quấn quýt luyến lưu chẳng dời
Có nàng thục nữ xinh tươi
Bên người quân tử, lả lơi, trao tình ....

Desperado
Eagle
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses,
You've been out ridin fences for so long now,
Oh and you're a hard one, but I know that you've got your reasons,
The things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow.
Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds boy, she'll beat you if she's able.
You know the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet.
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table,
But you only want the ones you can't get.
Desperado, you ain't gettin no younger,
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin you home,
And freedom, oh freedom, well that's just some people talkin.
Your prison is walking through this world all alone.
Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime,
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine,
It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day.
And you're losin all your highs and lows,
Ain't it funny how the feelin goes away?
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses,
Come down from your fences- open the gates.
It may be rainin, but there's a rainbow above you.
You'd better let somebody love you,
Let somebody love you.
You'd better let somebody love you,
before it's too late.

Hi hí, nhân dịp có bác nào ý, trong cái Zim này, than thở là phải sleep alone in a corner of this damn earth
Where Did You Sleep Last Night
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
Her husband, was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found
Let's hear it one more time
My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold win blows
In the pines, the pines
The sun, the shine
I'd shiver... the whole... night through

Ai hiểu lòng ta với
Còn thương nhớ hoa đào...

Oái, bác Zimbabwe nào đấy? Gallivant, Trinity hay tdna. Hì, tớ không may lại chẳng thuộc một hội nào cả.
Mấy hôm nay tự nhiên thích nghe Eagles thế. Post thêm một bài nữa của Eagles.
Learn To Be Still
It's just another day in paradise
As you stumble to your bed
You'd give anything to silence
Those voices ringing in your head
You thought you could find happiness
Just over that green hill
You thought you would be satisfied
But you never will-
Learn to be still
We are like sheep without a shepherd
We don't know how to be alone
So we wander 'round this desert
And wind up following the wrong gods home
But the flock cries out for another
And they keep answering that bell
And one more starry-eyed messiah
Meets a violent farewell-
Learn to be still
Learn to be still
Now the flowers in your garden
They don't smell so sweet
Maybe you've forgotten
The heaven lying at your feet
-Solo-
There are so many contradictions
In all these messages we send
(We keep asking)
How do I get out of here
Where do I fit in?
Though the world is torn and shaken
Even if your heart is breakin'
It's waiting for you to awaken
And someday you will-
Learn to be still
Learn to be still
You just keep on runnin'
Keep on runnin'

Hát với trống cơm
Thanh Trắc Nguyễn Văn
Tình bằng có cái trống cơm
Yêu nhau ta đốt khói rơm bắc cầu
Bến tình chẳng quản nông sâu
Ném đau theo gió, quẳng sầu lên mây.
Ta bồng duyên nợ cầm tay
Một bầy con xít lội ngày lội đêm
Cùng cười vỗ trống bồng bênh
Trăng thanh cũng rụng xuống thềm lim dim
Lim dim con mắt đi tìm
Thấy thương với nhớ té chìm biển yêu
Đường trần mù mịt phong rêu
Để trăm con nhện cuối chiều giăng tơ
Tình bằng vỗ trống à ơ
Hát câu quan họ ỡm ờ làm duyên
Hoa thơm **** lượn xuống thuyền
Sóng to bão dữ xin nguyền có nhau.
