CONDUCT AND MORALITY





"Neither a borrower nor a lender be:

For a loan oft loses both itself and friend,

And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.

This above all: to thine own self be true,

And it must follow, as the night the day,

Thou canst not then be false to any man."

BEAUTY





"Beauty is but a vain doubtful good;

A shining gloss that vadeth suddenly;

A flower that dies when first it ' gins to bud;

A brittle glass that's broken presently:

A doubt good, a gloss, a glass, a flower,

Lost, vaded, broken, dead within an hour."

One day I felt so much love for you

And you didn’t feel anything at all

Today I come back to the beginning

Not searching for your love anymore

Neither for your pity

My life changed since I crossed

The back door

And outside I learnt

To live, to give and to receive

Now your soul

Floats on the skies

And you search for something that I could’ve given to you

But now that there’s no more of you in me

All I can truly say is:

That you are searching in the right place

But too late.

Como un dia te ame

Y tu no me quisiste

Hoy, vuelvo de nuevo al punto

Del que me retire

Ya no busco tu amor…

Menos tu lastima

Mi vida cambio desde que cruze

La puerta de atrás

Y afuera aprendí

A vivir, a entregar y a recibir

Tu alma ahora

Vive flotando en los aires

Y buscas algo que yo te lo pude haber dado

Pero ahora que ya no hay mas de ti en mi

Solo me resta decir

Que estas buscando en el lugar indicado

Demasiado tarde!

Si recordándote pudiera traerte de nuevo a mi

No dudes ni por un instante que siempre te tendría presente

Y si al cerrar mis ojos la silueta del hombre que

Mas he amado ante mi apareciese…

No dudes que los cerraría constantemente

Extraño tu sonrisa, tu voz y tu mirar

Extraño también compartir con alguien como tu

Un poquito de mi soledad

Y vuelvo a recorrer la calle aquella donde un día

Tu y yo solos estábamos

Y vuelvo a encontrarte detrás de las paredes,

Y escucho tu voz en el ruido que hace el viento

Y veo la gente que pasa y me dice que lo que siento son

Solo sueños y . . . recuerdos.

Mentira de Amor

Cuanto pagarías por inventar…

Por inventar un mundo diferente,

Con el fin de extinguir la realidad.

Para crear un sueño entre la verdad oculta

Que se esconde entre las sombras

De la mentira de nuestro amor

Un amor irreal que solo existió

En la ventana del tiempo

Que hoy se cierra para olvidar

El pasado sofocante

De una vida que nunca existió

De una flor que se marchito

Negándose a morir,

Para no sentir el dolor de la pena

De una mentira verdadera…

La mentira de nuestro amor.

Life is just a lonely highway



I am right there at the open road



Am not to old to see behind me



But young enough to see my soul



I don’t want to lose you my love



And I don’t want to be alone.

DEATH





"To be or not to be: that is the question:

Wheter 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,

And by opposing end them. To die: to sleep;

No more; and by a sleep to say we end

The heartache and the thousand natural shocks

That flesh is heir to, - 'tis a consumamation

Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;

To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil."
