એક મિત્ર એ મને કહ્યું કે અંગ્રેજી માં પણ સારી કવિતાઓ - ગીતો હોય છે.....આપણે રહ્યા શબ્દો ના પ્રેમી :-)
મને થયું ચાલો અંગ્રેજી કિનારે આંટો મારતા આવીએ....ભલે ને ત્યાં જઈને કઈ ભોજિયા ભાઈ ની પણ હુજ ના પડે.......
એક પ્રેમ કવિતા અને એક ઈશ્વર પ્રત્યે આસ્થા ધરાવતું ગીત નજર માં ચડ્યું; મને ખુબજ ગમ્યું.....આશા રાખું છું તમને પણ ગમશે...........
Don't Go Far Off
Don't go far off, not even for a day, because --
because -- I don't know how to say it : a day is long
and I will be waiting for you, as in a empty station
when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep
Don't leave me, even for an hour, because
then the little drops of anguish will all run together,
the smoke that roams looking for a home will drift
into me, choking my lost heart.
Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve on the beach;
may your eyelids never flutter into the empty distance.
Don't leave me for a second, my dearest,
because in that moment you'll have gone so far
I'll wander mazily over all the earth, asking,
will you come back? will you leave me here, dying?
by, Pablo Neruda
હવે બીજુ એક ગીત કે જેમાં ઈશ્વર આપણને સંબોધી ને કઈ કહે છે........
When the rain comes you think that everyone has gone away
When the night falls you wonder if you shouldn't find someplace
To run and hide
Escape the pain
But hiding's such a lonely thing to do
I can't stop the rain from falling down on you again
I can't stop the rain, but i will hold you till it goes away
When the rain comes you blame it on the things that you have done
When the storm fades you know the rain has fall'n on everyone
So rest a while
It will be alright
No one loves you like i do
I can't stop the rain from falling down on you again
I can't stop the rain, but i will hold you,
I can't stop the rain from falling down on you again
I can't stop the rain, but i will hold you till it goes away
When the night falls you wonder if you shouldn't find someplace
To run and hide
Escape the pain
But hiding's such a lonely thing to do
I can't stop the rain from falling down on you again
I can't stop the rain, but i will hold you till it goes away
When the rain comes you blame it on the things that you have done
When the storm fades you know the rain has fall'n on everyone
So rest a while
It will be alright
No one loves you like i do
I can't stop the rain from falling down on you again
I can't stop the rain, but i will hold you,
I can't stop the rain from falling down on you again
I can't stop the rain, but i will hold you till it goes away
