la vida
no quiero morir.
no sé porque
yo tengo esta vida,
pero yo sé
una cosa
importante:
esta vida es preciosa,
y necesito protegerla
con todo yo puedo.
sin esta vida,
soy nadie.
soy nada,
no mucho mas
que una voz
en la viento,
una idea
en los mentes
de las personas
que yo sabría
durante mi vida.
sin una vida,
soy nada.
pues yo voy
a vivir.
seré fuerte
en todo
que yo hago.
porque esta vida
es mia,
y es el regalo
más preciosa
que puedo recibir.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
i don’t want to die.
i don’t know
why i have
this life,
but i know one
important thing:
this life
is precious,
and i need
to protect it
with everything
i can.
without this life,
i am nobody.
i am nothing,
not much more
than a voice
in the wind,
an idea
in the minds
of people
that i would know
during my life.
without a life,
i am nothing.
so i’m going to live.
i will be strong
in everything i do.
because this life
is mine,
and it is
the most
precious gift
i can receive.
Watashi wa Shinde
My sister takes Japanese in college and I like to ask about sentences I´ll probably never have to say in my life. I can´t write Japanese but here´s how you pronounce the sentence.
Watashi wa shinde imasu watashi wa sukoshi futotte irukara
English translation: I am dying because I am a little bit fat
Inesperado
Siento en silencio durante su conversación. Ustedes no saben pero te comprendo. He estudiado el español por una decada, pero ustedes me miran y asumen que es seguro para hablar. Sé que quieres chingar todas las mujeres en el programa. Sé que soy una en una lista muy larga. Pero tú no sabes. Como me gusta.
I sit in silence during your conversation. You dont know, but I understand. I've studied Spanish for a decade, but you looked at me and assumed it was safe to talk. I know that you want to fuck all of the girls in the program. I know that I'm one on a very long list. But you don't know. How I like it.
Life
Tujhe behtar banane ki koshish mein
Tujhe hi waqt nahi de pa rahe hum.
Maaf karna ae-zindagi-
Tujhe hi jee nahi pa rahe hum.
- Gulzar
These lines translate to-
In the quest to make you better, it is you itself I am not giving time to.
Forgive me O Life, it is you I am not being able to live at all.
