An original Jubinell composition

There's a door in the middle of the room.
It's shaped in a peculiar way.
It leads to the strangest places that I know.

My baby is standing near that door.
She's got a worn-out smile
and a sea of anguish in her dark eyes that I swear

she can't wait to tell me:
"I'm getting outta here,
taking with me my tears leaving nothing for you."

I can't bear to tell her:
"Goodbye my dear.
Goodbye..."

It's been eternity since she left
I'm still sitting here.
The door is shut tightly behind her.

I don't believe that it's true,
that she will never come back.
This room feels so empty without her.

I really want to scream out loud:
"Isn't anybody there?
Would you look out for my baby wherever she goes?"

Even though I know she don't care
if I breathe a sigh,
whether I live or die.

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe it can be killed
and brought back to life?

Behind this cellar door
your world and mine
can they collide outside of time?

I know that it's been years,
since you and I...
I know that centuries will pass.

I know that time will have to to stop
for you and I
to love again...

...but I'll wait.

Wicked Little Town (Tommy Gnosis Version) - piano cover

A song supposedly written about Grinnell, Iowa. I dedicate this cover to ennalax for introducing me to the movie "Hedwig and the Angry Inch." For some reason I've always liked Tommy Gnosis version much better...I don't know, it's more childish and I'm a child I guess...

Lyrics:

Forgive me,
For I did not know.
'Cause I was just a boy
And you were so much more

Than any god could ever plan,
More than a woman or a man.
And now I understand how much I took from you:
That, when everything starts breaking down,
You take the pieces off the ground
And show this wicked town
something beautiful and new.

You think that Luck
Has left you there.
But maybe there's nothing
up in the sky but air.

And there's no mystical design,
No cosmic lover preassigned.
There's nothing you can find
that can not be found.
'Cause with all the changes
you've been through
It seems the stranger's always you.
Alone again in some new
Wicked little town.

So when you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise
Of this wicked little town.
Oh it's a wicked, little town.
Goodbye, wicked little town.

Tạ từ

Tạ từ
Nhạc: Jubinell


Nhớ anh buồn mắt vào mưa
Sài Gòn mấy thủa bâng khuâng thế này
Trông anh một sáng sớm ngày
Lòng em mưa nhỏ, giọt đầy giọt vơi…

Em xin làm sợi tơ trời
Tách ra từ lưới của người đa mang
Dắt anh tìm động hoa vàng*
Nơi thiên thu nắng khẽ khàng ru anh

Tình em, em sợ thoảng nhanh
Em lạy vân vũ cho thành mây mưa
Một lần đắm đuối cho vừa
Rồi thiên thu nắng sẽ đưa anh về

Ngủ cho ngoan, ngủ cho mê
Tơ trời đã rối, không về nữa đâu
Ngủ cho ngoan, ngủ cho mê...

*Động hoa vàng: lấy ý của bài Đưa em tìm động hoa vàng (Phạm Duy)
ĐƯA EM TÌM ĐỘNG HOA VÀNG
- Thơ Phạm Thiên Thư -

Rằng xưa có gã từ quan
Lên non tìm động hoa vàng nhớ người
Thôi thì thôi đừng ngại mưa mau
Đưa nhau ra tới bên cầu nước xuôi
Sông này đây chẩy một giòng thôi
Mấy đầu sông thẵm khóc người cuối sông

Nhớ xưa em chưa theo chồng
Mùa Xuân may áo áo hồng đào rơi
Mùa Thu em mặc áo da trời
Sang Đông lại khoác lên người áo hoa

Rằng xưa có gã từ quan
Lên non tìm động hoa vàng nhớ nhau
Thôi thì em chẳng còn yêu tôi
Leo lên cành bưởi khóc người rưng rưng
Thôi thì thôi mộ người tà dương
Thôi thì thôi nhé đoạn trường thế thôi

Nhớ xưa em rũ tóc thề
Nhìn trăng sao nỡ để lời thề bay
Đợi nhau tàn cuộc hoa này
Buồn như cánh bướm đồi Tây hững hờ

Rằng xưa có gã từ quan
Lên non tìm động hoa vàng ngủ say
Thôi thì thôi để mặc mây trôi
Ôm trăng đánh giấc bên đồi dạ lan
Thôi thì thôi chỉ là phù vân
Thôi thì thôi nhé có ngần ấy thôi

Chim ơi chết dưới cội hoa
Tiếng kêu rơi rụng giữa giang hà
Mai ta chết dưới cội đào
Khóc ta xin nhỏ lệ vào thiên thu

Angel of the Night





Inspired by the movie "Sympathy for Lady Vengeance"
An original Jubinell composition

To my saddest, prettiest, and cruelest angel...

The angel of the night
The sadness in her eyes
And resignation in her sighs
Make me want to ask her why

"Why oh why would you cry?
Your voice trails off in the night.
Your tears are as cold as ice,
Yet in my hands they melt and float up to the sky."

Oh how I crave to see what's inside
What's behind that mysterious smile
She's my snow white, my dearest lady starlight
She shines in the darkest nights.

But watch out for her lies
Her beauty is but a disguise
She'd take out a bloody knife
And stab you until you die.

Like an angel from the sky
She dresses all in white
She sings a lullaby
Telling me it was alright.

But every time that she walks by
She takes her seductive strides
Revealing parts of her thighs
It makes me wanna drop my head and cry

A criminal with no alibi
She has red liners on her eyes
With a vengeance at her side
And nobody to sympathize.

So watch out when she smiles
Her beauty is but a disguise
Her teeth are cold and white
She'd bite you until you die.

ひだまりの詩 by Le Couple

A sad song of lonely hearts, letters returned and lost photographs...

ひだまりの詩 by Le Couple
Hidamari no Uta (Song of the Sun Spot)

In Hiragana:

逢えなくなって どれくらいたつのでしょう
出した手紙も 今朝ポストに舞い戻った
窓辺に揺れる 目を覚ました若葉のよに
長い冬を越え 今ごろ気づくなんて

どんなに言葉にしても足りないくらい
あなた愛してくれた すべて包んでくれた
まるで ひだまりでした

菜の花燃える 二人最後のフォトグラフ
「送るからね」と約束はたせないけれど
もしも今なら 優しさもひたむきさも
両手にたばねて 届けられたのに

それぞれ別々の人 好きになっても
あなた残してくれた すべて忘れないで

誰かを愛せるよに

広い空の下 二度と逢えなくても生きてゆくの
こんな私のこと心から
あなた愛してくれた 全て包んでくれた
まるで ひだまりでした

あなた愛してくれた 全て包んでくれた
それは ひだまりでした

In Romaji:

aEnakunatte DOre kurai TAtsuno deshou
daSHIta tegami mo keSA posuto ni maimodotta
MAdobe ni yureru me wo samashita wakaba no yoni
naGAi fuyu wo koe ima goro kitsuku nante


Donna ni kotoba ni shitemo tarinai kurai
Anata aIshitekureta subete tsutsundekureta
Maru de hidamari deshinda

Na no hana moeru fuTAri saigo no fotogurafu
"oKUru kara ne" to yaKUsoku haTAsenai keredo
MOshimo ima nara YAsashisa mo hitamukisa mo
ryoUte ni tabanete TODOkerareta no ni
SOrezore betsubetsu no hito suki ni nattemo
Anata noKOshitekureta subete WAsurenaide

DaREka wo Aiseru yoni

HIroi sora no shita NIdo to Aenakutemo ikiteyuku no
Konna watashi no koto koKOro kara
Anata aIshitekureta subete tsuTSUndekureta
Maru de hidamari deshita

Anata aishitekureta subete tsutsundekureta
Sore wa hidamari deshita

In English:

How long will it be until we see each other?
I sent you a letter, but it returned to my mail box again this morning
Out the window the leaves shake in the wind, just like the letter that came back
During the long winter I still hear your voice.

No matter how hard I try, no words could express what I feel
You gave your love to me, you gave me everything, completely
It was just like the spot where the sun shines through.

The flowers burn in the last photograph that we took
I promised I would send the picture to you, yet we have gone our separate ways
But if it was now, then I could eagerly and easily give it to you.
With both arms wide open, I would deliver it to make you happy.

It's OK if we both come out to be different people
Don't forget everything that you left behind and what you meant to me
Love someone in that way with both arms wide open
Below the wide sky, I'll be missing what we were bound for.
This story, such as it is, comes deep from my heart.
You gave your love to me, you gave me everything completely
It was just like the spot where the sun shines through

You gave your love to me, you gave me everything completely
That was my spot where the sun shone through.

Here is the score:
