tragic songs.

[pzler]

this is my all time favourite. the amount off drama is also huge in this song. but reading it doesn't really justify the song. you should hear or see him perform it. (just download it. he's been dead for 25 years so he won't mind)
deffinetely one of the best songs of all time

Ne Me Quitte Pas
artist: jacques brel

Ne me quitte pas
Il faut oublier
Tout peut s`oublier
Qui s`enfuit déjà
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
A savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parois
A coups de pourquoi
Le coeur du bonheur

Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

Moi je t`offrirai
Des perles de pluie
Venues de pays
Où il ne pleut pas
Je creuserai la terre
Jusqu`après ma mort
Pour couvrir ton corps
D`or et de lumière
Je ferai un domaine
Où l`amour sera roi
Où l`amour sera loi
Où tu seras reine

Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

Je t`inventerai
Des mots insensé
Que tu comprendras
Je te parlerai
De ces amants-là
Qui ont vu deux fois
Leur coeur s`embraser
Je te raconterai
L`histoire de ce roi
Mort de n`avoir pas
Pu te rencontrer

Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte Pas
Ne me quitte pas

On a vu souvent
Rejaillir le feu
D`un ancien volcan
Qu`on croyait trop vieux
Il est parait-il
Des terres brûlées
Donnant plus de blé
Qu`un meilleur avril
Et quand vient le soir
Pour qu`un ciel flamboie
Le rouge et le noir
Ne s`épousent-ils pas

Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte Pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

Je ne vais plus pleurer
Je ne vais Plus parler
Je me cacherai là
A te regarder
Danser et sourire
Et t`écoutre
Chanter et puis rire
Laisse-moi devenir
L`ombre de ta main
L`ombre de ton chien

Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas


translation (i was to lazy to translate and type this. so i just copy pasted some translation that i read only briefly on the net. so i'm not 100% sure it's all correct)

Don't leave me!
Ne me quitte pas!
(195


Don't leave me!
Let's forget -
for all can be forgotten
which is gone by already!
Forget the time
of misunderstandings and
the time
lost
finding out how
to forget those hours
which sometimes killed
by blows of "why?"
the heart
of happiness.
Don't leave me!
Don't leave me!
Don't leave me!
Don't leave me!


I will give you
pearls of rain
come from countries
where it never rains.
I will dig up the earth
even in death
to cover your body
with gold and with light.
I will make a kingdom
where love shall be king
where love shall be law
where you shall be queen.
Don't leave me!
Don't leave me!
Don't leave me!
Don't leave me!


Don't leave me!
I shall invent
senseless words
which you will understand.
I shall tell you about
those lovers who
saw twice
their hearts
go up in flames.
I shall tell you
the story of this king
dead
for not having succeeded
in finding you.
Don't leave me!
Don't leave me!
Don't leave me!
Don't leave me!


One has often seen
burst anew the fire
of an old volcano
believed to be spent.
There are, it is said,
scorched lands
yielding more wheat
than the best of April.
And when evening comes,
to make the sky flare up,
don't the black and the red
wed?
Don't leave me!
Don't leave me!
Don't leave me!
Don't leave me!


Don't leave me!
I'll weep no more,
I'll speak no more,
I'll hide right here,
to look at you
dance and smile, to
listen to you
sing
and then laugh...
Let me become
the shadow
of your shadow,
the shadow of your hand,
the shadow of your dog, but
don't leave me!
Don't leave me!
Don't leave me!
Don't leave me!

I scratched something togother back when I was sixteen, so don't laugh at me. It was whole four months ago. Here it goes>
I am a fat swine he's a butcherboy
The star of fate sent him to seal my decoy
His dark, piercing eyes, they slice me in parts
My wisdom of ages melts in these regards
My fate has been written before I was born
I'm meant to be eaten with pancakes & corn
If only the mossad would take me away
To those non-pork-eater in lands of bright days.

 

[Lost-Lamb]

Fade To Black

Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Things are not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this can't be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filing me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now He's gone

No one but me can save myself, but it's too late
Now I can't think, think why I should even try
Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death Greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye

And then some of my old "poems", feel free to ridicule me/them:

A girl I loved was together with my friend:

Every touch feels bad
With every kiss I feel more sad
Nobody loves you more than I
I just keep asking myself why

as above:

I hate my life
This age-long strife
Without you, there is no joy
Just misery and pain for this young boy
Nothing I can ever do
Changes how I feel 'bout you

And some of my newest stuff, happy happy joy joy:

Something must be wrong with me
with all this hurt inside,
always bursting with anger,
and never any pride.

Something must be wrong with me
if all I do is cry,
I can't stop this pain
all I want to do is die.

Something must be wrong with me
if my emotions run wild,
all this confusion does
is make me feel like a lost child.

Something must be wrong with me
with all these terrible things,
always there and never gone
depression is what it brings.

Something must be wrong with me
if I can't stop these thoughts,
all this pain does
is turn my stomach in knots.

Something is truly wrong with me
when I think there's only one way out,
"Let this pain end,"
is all my heart will shout.

Edit: made it more readable

 

[kroc]

does anyone actually read that ...uh, stuff?

 

[Lhorkan]

We just pretend to do so.

 

[Worbah]

Here's a semi-funny poem I wrote once:

On you I wish to dine,
O' sweet love of mine,
For countless days,
in countless ways

When you are so cold,
my pleasure is tenfold,
no others are filled with your hellish beauty,
my love for you has become my sole duty

With my faithfulness can none contend,
You shall be my painful end,
There is no end to my devotion,
let me drink your deceptive potion.

You I shall mine with my tongue,
For this I will be hung
For you are my silky noose,
my eternal love, booze.

 

[Sir Saladin]

And I used to feel a little guilty about liking Merciful Fate, at least they were just singing prayers to Satan, they sang about all sorts of horrible things and it was kind of silly, I think they were joking at least a little bit but now I'm glad I could never understand a word coming from the Cannible Corpse guy, that man should be swinging by his neck or in front of a firing squad!
