[Sweetpea]

A song, from a Dutch singer who won the soundmix show 1990 (an ancient precursor to shows like X-factor).

He made a lot of songs, but I picked this one because right at the time it arrived, my father told my mother she could **** off... Which is exactly what the song is about..

Margherita by Riccardo, Richard, Cocciante. The video has the French words. I think this is a very touching song. A very nice love song, expecially in the French version. In your honor, Sweetpea.

Could it be that French is the best language pour parler d'amour? What is your opinion, pretty Ladies?

Voici les paroles ou lyrics de Margherita interprétées par Richard Cocciante :
Io non posso stare fermo
Con le mani nelle mani
Tante cose devo fare
Prima che venga domani
E se lei già sta dormendo
Io non posso riposare
Faro in modo che al risveglio
Non mi possa più scordare.

Perché questa lunga notte
Non sia nera più del nero
Fatti grande, dolce luna
E riempi il cielo intero
E perché quel suo sorriso
Possa ritornare ancora
Splendi sole domattina
Come non hai fatto ancora

E per poi farle cantare
Le canzoni che ha imparato
Io le costruiro un silenzio
Che nessuno ha mai sentito
Svegliero tutti gli amanti
Parlero per ore edore
Abbracciamoci più forte
Perché lei vuole l'amore

Poi corriamo per le strade
E mettiamoci a ballare
Perché lei vuole la gioia
Perché lei odia il rancore
Poi con secchi di vernice
Coloriamo tutti i muri
Case, vicoli e palazzi
Perché lei ama i colori
Raccogliamo tutti i fiori
Che puo darci primavera
Costruiamole una culla
Per amarci quando e sera

Poi saliamo su nel cielo
E prendiamole una stella
Perché Margherita è buona
Perché Margherita è bella
Perché Margherita è dolce
Perché Margherita è vera
Perché Margherita ama
E lofa una notte intera

Perché Margherita è un sogno
Perché Margherita è sale
Perché Margherita è il vento
E non sa che puo farmale
Perché Margherita è tutto
Ed è lei la mia pazzia
Margherita, Margherita
Margherita adesso è mia,
Margherita è mia...

cant stay still
with hand into hand
I should do so many things
before tomorrow comes
and if she is already asleep
I cant rest
I think of the way when she wakes up
she doesnt forget me ever

because this long night
isnt black more than black
become big, sweet moon
refills the whole sky
and because her smile
could be back again
shine tomorrow Sun
like you never did before

and to make them sing later
[b]the songs you've learnt[b]
i will make a silence
that no one ever felt
i will wake up all lovers
I will talk from hours and hours
we will hug stronger
because she wants the love

then we'll run through the streets
and we'll start to dance
because she wants the joy
because she hates the resentment
then with buckets of paint
we paint all the walls
houses, alleys and palaces
because she likes the colours
we'll pick all the flowers
that could give the spring
we make a credle
to love each other at the night

and then we come to the sky
and take a star
because Margherita is good
because Margherita is beatuful
because Margherita is sweet
Because Margherita is real
because Margerita loves
and the whole night does it

Becuase Margherita is a dream
because Margherita is salt
because Margherita is wind
and doesnt know that can make me feel bad
because Margherita is everything
and she is my insanity
Margherita, Margherita
Margherita is mine now

Margherita is mine

oh hellno

[SameOldStory]

Languages came up while talking to a girl (who was a friend). I told her that I had heard that making love in bed was supposed to be a good way to learn a foreign language.

I then asked if she wanted to learn to speak Taco Bell.

We were good friends and both had a good laugh.



(For those outside the US, Taco Bell is an American fast food place with Mexican style food.)

Some songs in Flemish dialect.

Yes, it's meant to be silly.

I am no lady, but i definitely like a lot more when a woman talks to me in some other language than french.... and Quebecois french... good lord, that is simply grotesque.

I find spanish very warm when used by a spanish woman.... being called cariño by a whispering voice is.... delightful

I also have a weak spot for Portuguese with brazilian accent, it definitely sounds extra sweet and sexy.

Où sont les neiges d'antan?

No, not any more.
But when I was younger and lived abroad, I used to fall in love with about every french-speaking guy that came along.



BTW: KK; I love your outfit.

What is it with women and French speaking guys ? I've been forced to study the French language in all it's complexity since I was 12, I was never any good at it and as a result starting detesting the language. So French speaking men (about a quarter of the Belgian population) don't stand a chance with me. Maybe it's a result of all the tension between Flanders and Wallonia as well

Men with a British accent however ...
