Passport (translation)

They did not recognize me in the shadows

That suck away my color in this Passport

And to them my wound was an exhibit

For a tourist Who loves to collect photographs

They did not recognize me,

Ah . . . Don't leave

The palm of my hand without the sun

Because the trees recognize me

All the songs of the rain recognize me

 * Repeating previous line*

Don't leave me pale like the moon!

*****

All the birds that followed my palm

To the door of the distant airport

* Repeating previous line

All the wheatfields

All the prisons

All the white tombstones

All the barbed boundaries

All the waving handkerchiefs

All the eyes

* Repeating previous line*

were with me,

But they... dropped them from my passport!!

*****

Stripped of my name and identity?

On a soil I nourished with my own hands?

*Repeating previous line*

Today Job cried out

Filling the sky:

Don't make an example of me again!

Oh, gentlemen, Prophets,

Don't ask the trees for their names

Don't ask the valleys who their mother is

From my forehead bursts the sword of light

And from my hand springs the water of the river

*Repeating previous lines*

All the hearts of the people are my identity

So take away my passport!

My Madness

Sorry guys I can't be serious all the time especially after watching a hilarious Japanese drama. This girl needs to have some space to talk about her addiction to Asian drama/music thus this entry is gonna be about Asians, my love, my madness.

Let me start with the hilarious drama Brother Beat. Hey Magic watch this special it's not translated but don't worry you'll get the main idea.

You know how much I love their mom (talking about the drama) especially when she kicks Hayami or when she says Wakarimashta :D she's really amazing I wish that my mom can act like her wanna have a crazy mom like her.

Anyways I remember that you asked me for some recommendations, ummmm I can't recommend you a drama because now I'm not in the mood to watch something out of 10 or 12 episodes but I can recommend you some movies if you want.

I'm not sure if you watched Lee Jun Ki's movie the one that was about his relationship with his parents so if you have not watched it you'd better go and watch it. It's called What should I do? Also there's another Korean movie which you can watch it's called My Friend Tutor part 2

Here's a summary: a Japanese-Korean girl Junko (Lee Cheong Ah) travels to Seoul as an exchange student in hopes of seeing a Korean student whom she had fallen in love with in Japan. When she arrives at her new university, she finds out that her love-to-be is in the army. On top of that, the guesthouse she's staying at is full of rowdy young guys, including the owner's grating son Jong Man (Park Ki Woong) who also happens to be her Korean tutor. This disagreeable tutor, however, is a lot more interested in teaching her inappropriate words than conjugation.

Let's move to music. Here's a song by Yuna Ito and by the way she's half Japanese. Now I want you to watch this song and then tell me who's the guitar guy? The one with the long hair I'm sure you'll recognize him Oy don't try to steal him from me he's mine & mine forever!!!

.....

And here's my favorite song Be the One by Boa I guess that in this song her inner voice speaks to her I'm not sure about that but I'm sure that the one wearing black represents the Yin and the one wearing white represents the Yang & the two should be united together.

That's all I got for today. Gommai for not posting pictures for your guy Kimura it's hard to find good pictures for Abo Koshaa & don't forget to say hi to him :p

"O" by DBSK

This song talks about the dilemma of the modern man. It questions man's sickness of this world, lose of faith, and tries to put an end to it by following some of the Asian believes, Jeong (righteousness) Ban (opposition) Hap (harmony) But will that work???

Yo! U Know ( his friend's name ), let's try some noise bit.
"O" "O" "O" Let's do this.

So tell me, what do you think about the way things are?

If you step back and look at this generation,

there's no principle, no rule and no absolute truth

does your figure in this era always come back to its original form?

(You're struggling to understand what justice and truth is.)

The ideal that doesn't exist in reality…

means nothing!

…."O..." Now I'm afraid of the opposition that only exists for one's profit

We will be drifting without destination

Now the one I'm searching for

Is the effort to be together

….Let us join hands and shout together.

Our dreams should come true

People who thirst for this dream to be realized…

Gather courage in the form of Jeong (righteousness)

You know! Check it, check yo!

Irrational disputes, flying at each other.

Here we go, right now! An open mind yo! Open mind!

That's how we'll find a resolution.

I have to go I have to go gotta make my Ban Jeong, rightly Jeong, till it's right.

The effort of Jeong (righteousness) Ban (opposition) Hap (harmony)

will someday make the dream bloom on this earth.

When everyone works towards even a small dream,

Things will change. We just have to pave the road.

I mustn't hinder the flow of progress with the weight of my Ban (opposition).

We can coexist at any time!

"O..." I don't know why, I'm still afraid. Am I doing this the right way?

"O..." We struggle towards our destination.

Always believing that a growing harmony

Will surely be achieved.

Someday, like a blooming flower,

wouldn't it brighten the earth?

Jeong! (righteousness)

Ban! (opposition)

Hap! (harmony)……

Burdened by scars, it seems you face trials in the dark.

Even if you start to feel like retreating,

No matter what, don't stop! Don't stop!

"O..." Don't be afraid. Keep going on for life,

"O..." All the way, until there's nothing left.

All we seek now is effort for the sake of Hap (harmony)

Let us join hands and shout together.

People who thirst for this dream to be realized...

Gather courage in the form of Jeong (righteousness)!

In this society, people go about

Offering neither right nor left hand. We just have to pave the road,

Nothing can stop us. Silence the doubts--Ah!

كُنتُ أحلُمَ

هكذا تركني حلمي ورحلْ!!
كنت أحلم ببيت صغيرِ
وفتىً يحملني ويرحلْ

هكذا تركني ورحل .. ورحلْ!!
ربما لأنه لم يستطع إحتضاني
وربما لأنه لم يحتمل إحتضاري
فتركني ورحلْ

هكذا تركني حُلُمِي و رحل!!

كُنتُ أحلُمَ...

بنجماً لا يغيب
و قمر يدورُ و يكبُرَ
هكذا تركنا....و رحل
حلمي ..

مكادي نحاس
