La Tumba del El General

La Vie en Rose: Marlene and Edith

When you kiss me, heaven sighs.
And though I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose.

Give your heart and soul to me.
Babe, it's gonna be
La vie en rose.

And when you speak,
Angels fly from above.
Everyday words seem to turn
Into love songs.

Marlene Dietrich: Bitte Geh Nicht Fort

Bitte geh nicht fort!
Was ich auch getan,
was ich auch gesagt,
glaube nicht ein Wort!

Denk nicht mehr daran!
Oft sagt man im Streit
Worte, die man dann
später tief bereut.

Fruits of my Labor

Here is one of my favorite songs of all time. It is a Lucinda Williams, but Ray Lamontagne made such a lovely and sweet cover, that I am posting his cover. Sample Lyrics:

Baby, see how I been living
Velvet curtains on the windwos to
Keep the bright and unforgiving
Light from shining through

...
Come to my wolrd and witness
The way things have changed
'Cause I finally did it, baby
I got out of La Grange


I been tryin' to enjoy all the fruits of my labor
I been cryin' for you boy but truth is my savior

Baby, sweet baby if it's all the same
Take the glory and day over the fame
Baby, sweet baby
