je t'écris des trottoirs de nos villes habillées en noël
de quelques nuits d'hiver
aux saveurs douces amères
je t'écris de ces soirs de lumière
des yeux émerveillés de cette petite fille
au pied d'un grand sapin sur la Cinquième Avenue...

je t'écris d'un départ, d'une valise oubliée
je t'écris d'un lac blanc
où ce couple patine
je t'écris d'un désert
où l'épave d'un bateau se souvient de la mer
je t'écris d'une terre où des maisons s'écroulent...

je t'écris de Venise
où les amants s'éveillent aux sons de vieux clochers
il y neigera peut-être encore cette année
Je t'écris de la mer au large de Gibraltar
Le regard vers tanger
Je t'écris de l'afrique où l'on meurt par milliers
Des 4 coins de la Terre
Je t'écris des tranchées de guerre abandonnées

Je t'écris d'un baiser, de ce banc de paris où deux
amants s'enlassent dans leur éternité et que rien n'y personne ne pourrait déranger
Je t'écris d'un café, de l'aile d'un avion où nos mémoires s'enlassent dans ton éternité et que rien n'y personne ne pourait m'enlever
Je t'écris de ces ciels de quart monde où les corps si légers d'enfants trop peu nourris s'élèvent sans faire de bruit

Je t'écris de la rue où l'on danse et l'on chante
Je t'écris du plumier d'un vieillard solitaire à la chambre oubliée
Je t'écris de la part de ses dieux impuissants au nom desquels on tue
Je t'écris de la main de ses hommes de paix qui n'ont pas renoncés
Je t'écris de la seine, la tour eiffel y brille dans des reflets passés
je t'écris du souvenir d'un baiser par millers
Des 4 coins de la terre, je ferai le tour du monde un jour très ordinaire
Je t'écris de ce rêve de t'avoir tant aimé
Je t'écris ébloui par tant d'humanité

Des quatre coins de la terre
je ferai le tour du monde d'un jour très ordinaire
Je t'ecris de ce rêve de t'avoir tant aimé
je t'ecris ebloui par tant d'humanité
Je t'ecris des tranchées de guerre abandonnées (des 4 coins de la terre)

Je t'ecris de ce reve de t'avoir tant aimé
Je t'ecris ebloui par tant d'humanité (Des quatres coins de la terre, d'un jour tres ordinaire)

Je t'ecris de ce reve de t'avoir tant aimé (Je ferai le tour du monde, des 4 coins de la terre, de la terre....)

    The translation in English is something like this: I Write To You

    I write to you from the pavements of our cities dressed for Christmas From a few winter's nights With a bittersweet flavour I write to you from these bright evenings From the little girls' amazed eyes Under a big fir tree on Fifth Avenue...

    I write to you about a departure, a forgotten suitcase I write to you from a white lake Where this couple is skating I am writing from a desert Where a jetsam remembers the sea I write to you from a land where houses tumble down

    I write to you from Venice Where lovers wake up at the sound of old bells Maybe it'll snow again this year I write to you from the sea along Gibraltar Contemplating Tangier I write to you from Africa where people die in thousands From the four corners of the world

    I write to you from the deserted trenches of the war I write to you about a kiss, from this bench in Paris where two Lovers are cuddling in their eternity, that nobody can disturb

    I write to you from a café, from the wing of a plane where our memories are cuddling in your eternity that nobody can take away from me I write to you from these skies of the fourth world, where the light bodies of malnourished children rise in silence I write to you from the street where people dance and sing I write to you with the pencil of a lonely old man in an empty room I write to you on behalf of these helpless gods in the name of whom some people kill I write to you from the hand of these peaceful men who never gave up I write to you from the Seine, the Eiffel Tower shines in glints from the past I write to you about the memories of thousands of kisses From the four corners of the workd, I'll go all around the world on a very ordinary day

    I write to you from this dream in which I loved you so, I write, starry-eyed about so much humanity

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
