Opposite to the other, yet they remain in me. Simultaneously and side by side.
All a part of the experience of life.
and all a part of this soul's definition.
Perduta ho la speranza in voi mirare,
e di speranza sola nutrivo il core.
Ahimè! Ah! come farò, se per amare,
la fede ho già smarrita,
la fede nell'amore?
Perduta ho la speranza in voi mirare,
e di speranza sola nutrivo il core!
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.
O del mio amato ben perduto incanto!
Lungi è dagli occhi miei
chi m'era gloria e vanto!
Or per le mute stanze
sempre lo cerco e chiamo
con pieno il cor di speranze?
Ma cerco invan, chiamo invan!
E il pianger m'è sì caro,
che di pianto sol nutro il cor.
Mi sembra, senza lui, triste ogni loco.
Notte mi sembra il giorno;
mi sembra gelo il foco.
Se pur talvolta spero
di darmi ad altra cura,
sol mi tormenta un pensiero:
Ma, senza lui, che farò?
Mi par così la vita vana cosa
senza il mio ben.
A part of you has grown in me. And so you see,
it's you and me together forever and never apart,
maybe in distance, but never in heart.

Is this your song? As in, the song with the lyrics that sings to your heart the most? The one that reaches out so tenderly and hits that spot...
Is it a song? Or poetry? Who wrote it?
The first paragraph is just the intro to the blog. The fact that there is any rhyme in it at all is coincidence I think.
The second paragraph is a song by Donaudy-one of the most beautiful and haunting I've ever sung.
The third is part of a poem attributed to Max Ehrmann
The fourth and fifth are another song by Donaudy-another heart wrenching, yet beautiful, song.
And the last is a quote. I can't remember who said it to be honest, but it stays with me.
I remember the poem by Max Ehrmann. You posted a couple of times in various places.
Do you have youtube videos of versions of the songs?
Not yet, But I'll have a recording made on Saturday.. I'll get it posted asap.
Thanks! :D
