Following the Sun


































































Following The Sun, To Find The One
Who`s Giving You The Wings To Fly
Following The Sun, The Golden One
Losing Sense For Space and Time
Can You Feel The Waves Of Life
(Can You) Hear The Sigh Of Love
Do You Believe In It ?
Following The Sun, Just For The One
Till You`ll Find The Door You Thought
Following The Sun, Like Everyone
Searching For A Sign Of Hope
Have A Look Up To The Sky
See The Billion Stars Above
Cos (Maybe) On One Of Them
You`ll Spend Your Further Life..
Enigma - Following The Sun lyrics

House with no Door













































































Photo in Bucharest : Lipscani, Buzesti, Gabroveni


There's a house with no door and I'm living there
at nights it gets so cold and the days are hard to bear inside.
There's a house with no roof, so the rain creeps in,
falling through my head as I try to think out time.
I don't know you, you say you know me, that may be so,
there's so much that I am unsure of ...
You call my name, but it sounds unreal, I forget how I feel,
my body's rejecting the cure.
There's a house with no bell, but then nobody calls;
I sometimes find it hard to tell if any are alive at all outside.
There's a house with no sound; yes, it's quiet there ...
there's not much point in words if there's no-one to share in time.
I've learned my lines, I know them so well, I am ready to tell
whoever will finally come in
Of the line in my mind that's cold in the night, it doesn't seem right
when there's that little dark figure running ...
There's a house with no door and there's no living there:
one day it became a wall ... well I didn't really care at the time.
There's a house with no light, all the windows are sealed,
overtaxed and strained NOW NOTHING IS REVEALED BUT TIME

Won't somebody help me ......?

Van Der Graaf Generator - House With No Door lyrics



Nu-i nimic, e-n regulă,
mai aşteptăm două sute de ani,

ce-o să fie, un biet accident istoric,
o socoteală matematică greşită,
suntem în Estul Europei, nu uitaţi.
Ruşii, da, Maghiarii, da,
Polonezii, da, Bulgarii, da,
noi, nu, noi nu, noi nu progresăm,
că se interpretează,
când nu voiau vecinii,
noi nu puteam, n-aveam voie,
când vor vecinii,
nu vrem noi, n-avem nevoie,
asta e, aşa suntem noi, ai dracului,
daţi în Paşte, asta e, daţi în Paşte,
nu-i nimic, e-n regulă,
mai vedem noi, mai vedem,
aveţi răbdare, nu bateţi din picioare,
nu vă pripiţi
noi regresăm cu plăcere,
noi regresăm cu talent,
noi nu ne luăm după nimeni
decât când regresează.
Două sute de ani! Atât!
Aveţi răbdare, nu chemaţi salvarea,
nu exageraţi, nu cricniţi,
regresaţi cu noi!

Înapoi, marş!

Martisor - 1st of March ( Romanian Traditions)










































Mărţişor is the traditional celebration of the beginning of the spring , on the 1st of March.
The day's name is the diminutive of March (in Romanian Martie.
Mărţişor is the symbol of spring and also a celebration on the first of March.
Its beginnings are still a mystery, but it is usually said that it originated in ancient Rome, because New Year's Eve was celebrated on the 1st of March (Martius), the month of the war god Mars.
He had a double role: both protector of agriculture and of war, so the celebration signified the rebirth of nature. The duality of symbols is kept in the colours of the Mărţişor: white and red, meaning peace and war (it might also symbolize winter and spring).
Nowadays, men offer women a talisman object also called Mărţişor, consisting of a jewel or a small decoration like a flower, an animal or a heart, tied to a red and white string.
A woman wears it pinned to her blouse on this day and up to two weeks after.
Women also offer it to other women and only occasionally to men.
However, giving a little nickel tied to a red and white string is an old custom and was originally designated for both men and women.
It was believed that the one who wears the red and white string will be powerful and healthy for the year to come. The decoration is a symbol of the coming spring.
