BSR Posted March 30 Posted March 30 It’s been a long time, 22 years, since I was in Cuba, yet I still vividly remember how hard life was for Cubans. I didn’t think things could get any worse, but oh my God, conditions have gotten so much worse. When I think of the suffering of the Cuban people, coupled with the beautiful poetry of José Martí, I cry every time I listen to “Guantanamera.” thomas and + EVdude 1 1

I had never heard this beautiful piece before. For others, who like myself, are unable to clearly hear/understand the lyrics as they are being sung in the video, I offer the following copy of the lyrics that I was able to find: "Little Sparrow" Little sparrow, little sparrow Precious fragile little thing Little sparrow, little sparrow Flies so high and feels no pain All ye maidens hede my warning Never trust the hearts of men They will crush you like a sparrow Leaving you to never mend They will vow to always love you Swear no love but yours will do Then they'll leave you for another Break your little heart in two Little sparrow, little sparrow Precious fragile little thing Little sparrow, little sparrow Flies so high and feels no pain If I were a little sparrow O'er these mountains I would fly I would find him, I would find him Look into his lying eyes I would flutter all around him On my little sparrow wings I would ask him, I would ask him Why he let me love in vain I am not a little sparrow I am just the broken dream Of a cold false-hearted lover And his evil cunning scheme Little sparrow, little sparrow Precious fragile little thing Little sparrow, little sparrow Flies so high and feels no pain All ye maidens fair and tender Never trust the hearts of men They will crush you like a sparrow Leaving you to never mend Little sparrow, little sparrow Oh the sorrow never ends Rod Hagen 1

mtaabq Posted September 13 Posted September 13 Recent postings brought this particular topic to my attention. For a day I’ve been asking myself - “What song makes me emotional?” I even asked a friend, who replied, “Oh! For Christ’s sake, Michael! You can’t get through ‘What I Did For Love’ without weeping!” Well, all right, then. thomas 1
maninsoma Posted Friday at 03:33 PM Posted Friday at 03:33 PM Remember Me. One of Ashford & Simpson's best compositions and Diana Ross' vocals as far as I am concerned. Not many break-up songs have this level of maturity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKsvF5OX7ug&list=RDlKsvF5OX7ug&start_radio=1 Lyrics: Bye baby See you around Didn't I tell you I wouldn't hold you down Take good care of yourself, ya'hear Don't let me hear about you shedding a tear You're gonna make it You're gonna make it Remember me as a sunny day That you once had Along the way Didn't I inspire you a little higher Remember me as a funny clown That made you laugh when you were down Didn't I, boy? Didn't I, boy? Remember me as a big balloon At a carnival that ended too soon Remember me as a breath of spring Remember me as a good thing Bye baby See you around I already know About the new love you've found What can I do but wish you well What we had was really swell I won't forget it, no, I have no regrets Remember me as a sound of laughter And my face the morning after Didn't the sky beckon us to fly? Yes, you'll remember the times we fought But don't forget me in your tender thoughts Please, darlin' Oh yeah Remember me when you drink the wine Of sweet success, I gave you my best Remember me with every song you sing Remember me as a good thing Remember me as a sunny day Please darling Remember me as a good thing Remember me when you drink the wine Remember me as a good thing Remember me as a big balloon Don't forget me, baby thomas 1
