À contre-temps, ou comme la route tourne

J’avoue que toujours la vie me surprend. J’ai eu un prof, une dame très sage, qui disait toujours: “La route tourne”. Et c’est vrai. La route tourne, en dépit de la Terre, de son mouvement, en dépit de nos pas, c’est toujours la route qui tourne. À contre-temps.

Coquelicots en forme

Qu’est-ce que je peux dire à propos des coquelicots? Qu’ils sont rouges? Qu’ils sont beaux? Qu’il s’agit de la nature?

Moi, je préfère dire qu’ils sont une belle représentation de la vie telle qu’elle est.

Après une longue période…

…Me voici de nouveau!

What have I done to deserve this?

Cette chanson est très importante dans mon histoire. Je l’ai écoutée cet après-midi dans un magasin, et beaucoup de choses me sont revenues en tête. Il y a tout un chemin parcouru, qui ne peut jamais être effacé. Même si je le veux beaucoup, je ne peux pas le faire…

What have I done to deserve this?

————————————
You always wanted a lover
I only wanted a job
I’ve always worked for my living
How am I gonna get through?
How am I gonna get through?

I come here looking for money
(got to have it)
And end up living with love, oh, oh
Now you left me with nothing
(can’t take it)
How am I gonna get through?
How am I gonna get through?

I bought you drinks, I brought you flowers
I read you books and talked for hours
Every day, so many drinks
Such pretty flowers, so tell me
What have I, What have I, What have I done to deserve this?
What have I, What have I, What have I done to deserve this?
What have I, What have I, What have I…

Since you went away I’ve been hanging around
I’ve been wondering why I’m feeling down
You went away, it should make me feel better
But I don’t know, oh
How I’m gonna get through?
What have I, What have I, What have I done to deserve this?
How I’m gonna get through?
What have I, What have I, What have I done to deserve this?

You always wanted me to be something I wasn’t
You always wanted too much, oh, oh
Now I can do what I want to – forever
How am I gonna get through?
How am I gonna get through?

At night, the people come and go
They talk too fast, and walk too slow
Chasing time from hour to hour
I pour the drinks and crush the flowers
What have I, What have I done to deserve this?
What have I, What have I, What have I done to deserve this?
What have I, What have I, What have I…

Since you went away I’ve been hanging around
I’ve been wondering why I’m feeling down
You went away, it should make me feel better
But I don’t know, oh
How I’m gonna get through? (baby)
What have I, What have I, What have I done to deserve this?
How I’m gonna get through? (baby)
What have I, What have I, What have I done to deserve this?
How I’m gonna get through? (baby)
What have I,What have I, What have I done to deserve this?
How I’m gonna get through? (tell me)
What have I, What have I, What have I done to deserve this?
How I’m gonna get through? (baby)
What have I, What have I, What have I done to deserve this?
How I’m gonna get through? (yeah)
What have I, What have I, What have I done to deserve this?

Gonna get through?
Gonna get through?
What have I, What have I, What have I done to deserve this?
I’m gonna get through, right?
What have I, What have I, What have I done to deserve this?

We don’t have to fall apart, we don’t have to fight
What have I, What have I, What have I done to deserve this?
We don’t need to go to hell and back every night
What have I, What have I, What have I done to deserve this?
You never ever left me, baby, think of me…
What have I, What have I, What have I done to deserve this?
Oh, babe
What have I, What have I, What have I done to deserve this?

Gonna get through, baby, I’m gonna get
What have I, What have I, What have I done to deserve this?
Forever
What have I, What have I, What have I done to deserve this?
Gonna get through, baby, yeah,
What have I, What have I, What have I done to deserve this?
Gonna get through, get through, baby, ooh
What have I, What have I, What have I done to deserve this?

Plus fort que la vie…

…C’est la vie-même, avec toutes ses questions non résolues.

Moi, je pense qu’il me faut accepter les choses telles qu’elles sont. J’ai déjà voulu tout changer, mais maintenant je vois que c’est inutile, parfois…

Alors, tout ce qui me reste c’est de suivre mon chemin. Debout. Au fond, toujours seule…

Un souvenir…

gisele38contemple — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 02:03:57 +0000

…Pour toi, Nazareth…

Maintenant, tu sais bien ce qui est la liberté…

Je pense…

gisele38contemple — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 01:00:39 +0000

…Que maintenant ça marchera.
Il me semblait très difficile, mais en fait ce n’est point.

Contempler…

Voici le Christ Rédempteur, à Rio de Janeiro, Brésil.

…Qu’est-ce que c’est?

Je contemple ce moment-ci. Je pense à la situation déplorable des travailleurs partout, et je pense qu’ici, chez moi, disons, dans mon pays, les choses vont mal, bien sûr, mais peut-être pas trop… Un détail: j’habite au Brésil.

Mon petit Hermès Andros…

…Tout dans cette vie a une raison. Je t’associe à un Hermès en chair et os que je connais… Tu seras lui…

Mon rêve du 30 Décembre 2008

gisele38contemple — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 15:42:43 +0000

Je vais écrire en Portugais ce que j’ai entendu dans mon rêve (c’était fou, je me suis réveillée éclatant de rire!). C’était Jô Soares, vêtu en ange fou, qui disait cyniquement: “Eu tenho que entrar pelos caminhos ferrados de ‘eu mesmo’.” Après, j’ai entendu ce drôle de mot: “feliciline-se”. C’est vraiment fou!
