Adiós Melancolía - RIcardo Arjona

Tengo un domingo en stand by, por si algún lunes te deprime,
Y en la cartera un ánfora que guarda olor a ti,
Tengo boletos de primera fila, para verte despertar por las mañanas,
Tengo la firme convicción, de que si estás me consolido,
Y la sospecha de que ni sospechas cuanto te amo,
Tengo tu foto puesta en la pupila,
Y con tu voz baila el estribo, el yunque y el martillo.

Tengo risas, tengo llantos, tengo un termostato,
Que me enciende cuando estás,
Y que me apaga si te vas
Pa` no morir de la nostalgia.

Adiós melancolía,
Gracias por la compañía,
Pero aquí ya no hay mas sitio para usted.

Adiós melancolía,
Le agradezco la poesía,
Que entre versos hoy me deja confesarle a usted,
Que me saque la lotería cuando lo vi.

Tengo una dosis de perdón, por si haces algo que me duela,
Y una canción de más por si algún día la echas de menos,
Tengo un stock de besos sin estreno,
Y un camión de amor del bueno, para ti.

Hoy cuelgo mis sueños en el pearcing de tu ombligo,
Mientras la melancolía observa y es testigo,
Quiere estar segura, un poco por ti,
Un poco por mí, un poco por celos.

Tengo agua de mar en la bañera, y en la cama aire de cordillera,
Tengo sol de mayo en la nevera, y flores de abril en la escalera,
Tengo un cuarto lleno en primavera, y un beso esperando en la trinchera,
Un jarrón que llora cuando espera, y te tengo a ti por donde quiera.
Y te tengo a ti por donde quiera.

Lucky

this easter has been one of those moments... it kinda changed my perspective of life.
I became aware of so many things that I usually took for granted.
I also realized that our people in this society normally tend to focus on what they don't have, therefore they're usually complaining about everything. I see that as the stone holding our willingness to succeed. Why does this happen? probably because we tend to focuss on what we don't have or what we are missing.

Today I was told: "Lets start our lives from now on, being thankful and cherish all the blessings we have around us.
And when we are feeling this, we should pass it to somebody else. Joy happiness and hope are feelings that should be transmited."
So then I looked around me and saw many things that surround me like nature and the beautiful gifts that we were given in this earth, but it wasn't until I visited some friends I hadn't seen in a while, that I realized how blessed I am.
The last time I saw them we were talking about the things that we don't have in our life, some said a partner, some said time, some said money... and tonight as I visited them, they reminded me that I said then that nothing was missing in my life. I told them I had everything. Well I meant it that time, but time passed and now I had forgotten all the blessing I have.

JUST LOOK AROUND YOU!
I have my health, I have my family, I have education, I have food and shelter. I have a job and a source of income....I have nice clothes and things that are considered luxury items. I have the priviledge of having internet access and 3 languages in my power to be exploited and so many other things that for me are normal, but so many people would do anything to have those things.
Finally I have love, it's all around me, starting with my friends, family and everyone else.. that make me realize how lucky I am. I am a unique and special being who can do or reach anything she sets her mind to. I have everything I need.

a better you


what is about love hat makes us so stupid?
it makes you feel so wonderful that you want to burst free, you smile every time you hear that song... but what's amazing about love is that even though it makes you feels so wonderful, it also lets you "die slowly" with a broken heart. it doesn't kill you though... its like living with a knife in your chest: it hurts.

I learned that some people live for love and some don't. I guess it has to do with maturity,,... anyway you should live WITH love. Not for love. otherwise you'll end up disappointed every time you fall in love.
love has to be a part of your life.. it gives sense to it, it warms you at night, its companionship and understandment.
but it doesn't kill you if you don't have it. you might think it will, but it wont I can guarantee that.

I made a fool of myself so many times ...in matters of the heart. It took me so much time to let you go...I finally did it. and it took me this long only because I loved you so very much. And it feels weird cause I always thought that you were meant for me. I tried to forget that once you made me happy and to remember every time that it was my mistake to let myself love you that much.
In this process of healing you live kinda in the middle... my heart reminds me once in a while how much you mean to me, but then I remember that in your life there's no place for me... and I thought to myself .. how's possible that I still care about you if you don't do the same for me? I wish I wasn't this nice...

Time passed and time fixed it: the wound healed, though the scar will always be there...
Finally I decided to move on.
I know now that I was meant to shine, with or without you.
I never thought I was lucky...but then I realized I was meant to brighten someone's life and when I decide to do it.. I do it.
So I want you to know that I loved you at the moment with every bit of my soul.

Now I am looking for someone who'd consider himself lucky because he has me in his life, someone who will support me in bad times, help me get a better view, when its' time to make decisions. Someone who'd understand when I need a kiss or to hear "I love you" or just sense when I need a comforting hug from him. that's what love is about.
So lets say that I am looking for a better you
