Some music links and lyrics
Yasmin Levy
Yasmin Levy, the Ladino singer, was born in Bakka, Jerusalem, Israel 1975.
With her distinctive and emotive style, Yasmin has brought a new interpretation to the medieval Ladino/Judeo-Spanish song by incorporating more "modern" sounds of Andalusian Flamenco and Turkey, as well as combining instruments like the darbuka, oud, violin, cello, and piano.
I am proud to combine the two cultures of Ladino and flamenco, while mixing in Middle Eastern influences. I am embarking on a 500 years old musical journey, taking Ladino to Andalusia and mixing it with flamenco, the style that still bears the musical memories of the old Moorish and Jewish-Spanish world with the sound of the Arab world. In a way it is a ‘musical reconciliation’ of history. Yasmin Lavy. BBC - Awards.

La Alegria & Naci An Alamo

yo bebo y bebo y bebo para olvidarte
yo duermo y duermo y duermo para no pensar
maldito mundo
vivir para pagar por el pecado de amarte
maldita tu
sueltame
te digo que vida no tengo
y es por tu culpa
las noches igual que los días
de soledad
oh dio mio
ayúdame para matar este amor
que está en mi corazón
bendito dio sálvame
solo caminando en el camino de este mundo
y no tengo más fuerza para luchar
pensaba que amarte fue el remedio del dolor
pero el dolor se hizo grande más y más
te dejo para siempre vida mia no te olvides
que soy hombre que existe para ti
y el cante de mi vida te regalo para siempre
hasta que llegue el día del morir
English translation:

Yasmin Levy - Naci en Alamo
no tengo lugar
y no tengo paisaje
yo menos tengo patria
con mis dedos hago hacer el fuego
y con mi corazon te canto
las cuerdas de mi corazon lloran
Naci en alamo
Naci en alamo
no tengo lugar no tengo paisaje
yo menos tengo patria
Naci en alamo
Naci en alamo
ay cuando canta
y con tus dolores
nuestras mujeres te chican
Naci en alamo
Naci en alamo
no tengo lugar no tengo paisaje
yo menos tengo patria
y no tengo paisaje
yo menos tengo patria
con mis dedos hago hacer el fuego
y con mi corazon te canto
las cuerdas de mi corazon lloran
Naci en alamo
Naci en alamo
no tengo lugar no tengo paisaje
yo menos tengo patria
Naci en alamo
Naci en alamo
ay cuando canta
y con tus dolores
nuestras mujeres te chican
Naci en alamo
Naci en alamo
no tengo lugar no tengo paisaje
yo menos tengo patria

My trips
As most of the people, I love to travel.
Will try to share my small (so far) travel expearance.
While learning german
So, here is the beginning of my blog.
First of all, I am not professional writer, so please don't expect professional writing style.
Second, I don't believe I will have many folowers, so I don't really care.
Third, this is just self - expression sphere...
I guess, I should introduce myself.
Well, I am 23 years old. Male.
I was born in Lithuania.
Raised in the capital -- Vilnius.
Almost graduated college of tourism administration. Well, will finish it next summer.
At the moment live in Germany and learning german.
Learning german. And can't stop listening the song "If You go away". This is a song in English based upon the French song "Ne me quitte pas" (1959), written by Jacques Brel.
Many artist recorded that song. As for me, I liked Patricia Kaas, Lesley Garrett, Madonna and Jack Jones.
Here is the lyrics... Sad and touching.

If you go away
On this summer day
Then you might as well
Take the sun away
All the birds that flew
In the summer sky
When our love was new
And our hearts were high
When the day was young
And the night was long
And the moon stood still
For the night bird song
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
But if you stay
I'll make you a day
Like no day has been
Or will be again
We'll sail on the sun
We'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees
And worship the wind
Then if you go
I'll understand
Leave me just enough love
To hold in my hand
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
But if you stay
I'll make you a night
Like no night has been
Or will be again
I'll ride on you smile
I'll sail on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes
That I love so much
But if you go
I'll understand
Leave me just enough love
To hold in my hand
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
As I know you must
There'll be nothing left
In the world to trust
Just an empty room
Full of empty space
Like the empty look
I see on your face
Oh, I'd have been the
Shadow of your shadow
If I thought it might
Have kept me by your side
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
Please, don't go away
Today I didn't learn german, at all.
The day was amazing. Sunny, but not too warm. After german course was enjoying the time outside. Sitting in a cafe, watching to the people... Reading book... Thinking...
Life is so short. And the time is going faster with each year. Damn...
Once after classes
Today German classes was especially long. Gosh, how bad mood and all bad things happening in the life can affect in many aspects. I don't even remember what teacher was talking about. I was finding myself watching throw the window to clear blue sky and not even thinking, just "drifting" somewhere... Hmm... Well, I was not the best example in the class today, lol.
Today is amazing weather again. Sunny and warm. It is so different from my country, when in November usually you don't want to stay outside. But not here, in this part of Germany. The city center is full of people. I have been walking, and decided to sit on the bench to read the book. I love reading. So good feeling to sit outside and just read, forget about everything, to get deep in the book, the things writer wants to tell.
