Dejan, I can't read German, but it sounded I did not thank you. I went on a website tried to get some of those words translated.
I hope this is what you wanted.
Thank you for posting great drawings of the Plejarens on this forum.

Marbar, :]

No needs for another "thank you".

"Noch einmal Danke schn meine Lieben Freunde". means:
One more time, Thank you my dear friends.

Salome,
Dejan

For Robyn, our moderator :-) I have a question for you Robyn that I was going to ask you privately but I reconsidered since I thought that maybe others would like the answer you give. For those of you who don't know, Robyn has a background in healthcare (psychology, etc.) and so I value her opinion on this question.

I was watching a young woman sing a song recently and it was so beautiful to me that I literally started to cry. I have had the same feeling before but whenever others are around, I have always repressed the urge to emote (for lack of a better word). This doesn't happen often but I have considered why it is that sometimes people react with tears when they are happy or when they experience something wonderful. I realize that each situation and person is different, but I would like your insight Robyn if you have any to offer on this topic. Thanks either way...

Thomas

Hi Thomas. I think most people hold wounds, and memories of special moments that are coupled with sentimentality within, and when hearing or seeing certain things, these are triggered.

There is a great release of chemicals in our bodies at these times, and studies have shown that the chemicals in tears of sadness are different combinations to those tears of happiness.

Also, each musical note has a vibration, as does each organ of our bodies and when some combinations of these sound vibrations occur, and the performer whether voice or instrument, executes them well, can 'dislodge' memories stored in our tissue and organs but also can just connect us to the beauty of Creation.

Sentimentality is not a neutral/positive activity, and pulls one into an unbalanced state, which of course affects the psyche. One must be careful to come back to balance as soon as one can at these times.

just some thoughts in response

Robyn

What is there to a moment but what is? A moment made so special by... and then it is gone.

This version of Pavarotti - Nessun Dorma always brings a tear to my eyes at the end. I never knew why until now it seems. Thanks Robyn, that explains it well.

(btw, i love how those high C's at the end make my hair stand on end!)

Thomas,

There are not many women whom possess the quality of a beautiful voice that can have an affect people. I my self have experience a female voice that gave me a new respect for such a talented lady. Her name is Haley Westenra.

robyn,

You might be very interested in the following information about music and sound. Search Google video for . . .

Cymatics - part 4 - Soundscapes - Experiments in animation with sound & vibration

it is very interesting, but the point of interest I am referring to, starts around 20 minutes into the video

I feel that sound has deep connection to the many (what humans call) mysteries of the universe and life.

THE TRUE OMEDAM

What makes the OMEDAM? Purity of heart;
Not the patched mantle and the lust perverse
Of those vile earth-bound men who steal his name.

He in all dregs discerns the essence pure:
In hardship ease, in tribulation joy.

The phantom sentries, who with batons drawn
Guard Beauty's place-gate and curtained bower,
Give way before him, unafraid he passes,
And showing the King's arrow, enters in.



. . . . . rum2 . . . . .


(my variation of a poem from Rumi,/R)

***

Spirit receives from Spirit that knowledge,
- therefore not by book
- - nor from tongue.
If knowledge of mysteries come after emptiness of mind,
- that is
- - illumination of heart.



. . . . . rum3 . . . . .


~~ If thou wilt be observant and vigilant,
thou wilt see at every moment the response to thy action.

~~ Be observant if thou wouldst have a pure heart,
for something is born to thee in consequence of every action.

Hello all, I'm a part time rapper thought i would post a "poem"/song here... I dont know how many people like rap, so, goes...

Song is called "love is like" i'll attach the youtube link

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_foGXoE35c

Love isnt something you have, its something you are
Love is out of this world but it comes from your heart,
Love changing words like yours turns them into ours,
Why you focused on the sun, when love can make you a star!
Shine hot and bright , cant ever be measured,
Beyond binary, past pain and pleasure
Love doesnt judge clean slates on ledgers
Love has to power to build and make the weather
Love is natural and raw, but never feels dirty
Unearthly, finds the pleasure even when you try to hurt me,
Beyond similarity, the moment of clarity
Hilarity, brotherhood yeah Solidarity
way more than charity Love is that singularity,
Result of polarities the rest is a fallacy,
Love loves to learn, so bring it on challenge me
Love is fresh air, giving u room to breathe
Love is to true to gives u space to be ..free

Love to life is like milk to a baby
Love is that sure thing, never offers you maybe
Love is hard to find but never been hidden
Only thing you leave behind when you die, still living
Love is reverence, knowing everything is relevant
Understanding how to treat it all, rough or delicate
Love brings innervision, some call it intuition,
I think its whats missing, its crying out but whos listening
Love cant sacrifice it can only share
Love always has enough so why are you so scared?
But none of this is new, love was never a secret
Try to give it all away and it only increases
If wisdom wrote an essay love would be the thesis
I hear em say a lot , love is all u need,
While i like the thought, i dont want to agree
Cause once i have love, i want you in love with me


Love doesnt need this song, to know what it is,
Basically love is what a mother feels for her kids ,
but i still wanna go so, heres some Characteristics...
Logical rational mystic and altruistic
Its not optimistic its too realistic,
Improvisational but never gets it twisted
Creative innovative and so synchronistic
Individuated and still synergistic
All in together now, so its a bit like limp bikit
Peaceful meets militant and its not a contradiction
Love has no enemies despite opposition
Uncompromising, but knows coexistence
Love is always underrated, but its better than you think it is
Love is so rich, its never materialistic
Most of we call love is really just the opposite,
Sooner or later we`ll all see who the prophet is

Freedom in jail, the only tale we tell,
The Piece of rope for u to hold when u alone in a well,
love is truth to the blind Metaphors like brail,
When love lifts the veil you cant ever fail
love is always flowing so no one can control it
love travels the globe, but never leaves home
love is just a knowing cant ever be owned
Love lets you go, while i let you know... these
Words cant contain it This track wont explain it
No hate can derail it, time dont restrain it
Its like the sun to a leaf, sustaining maintaining
treats everybody the same, cant take it in vain,
Love is not a game,but its stil a joy to play in
Love is always giving, but never feels the draining
Love is the eager student, who is focused on gaining
Love is a beautiful picture, but its also the framing
True love is simple, comes with no conditions,
Hate is a sympton, truth is the prescription
Love is the cure, accept no other medicine
Makes u always want it, but it leaves no addiction
Love knows no stress, Love always know best
Love needs no words can be heard in a caress
Love has no doubts doubt needs more love
Light knows no dark, dark lusts to blow up
Shine bright everyone wants the light,
Imitate it with a torch or force it with they might
Causing hurt and spite, and now your fire ain`t,
Now you move coldblooded on the verge of frostbite,
Love love choices, free for the weak and strong,
Take away they options and your shines all wrong
Thats a no glow, now u aint fo sho,
Cause u all for show, No means no, drive slow

Real love is timeless, lucky if you find it
Love just does, never see it trying,
Love knows empathy, so sometimes its crying
Love builds community but never treats u like a client
Love is total, Fear is the absence
Love is the first move, fear is the reaction
Fear is kinda slippery, love is attraction
Love multiples, fear can only subtract it,
Doesnt need want to kill, Only protects
Never tears down And can only erect still
Love isnt always soft, better come correct,
Or when you get inspected, if you infected
You get rejected, return when you accredited
Still lets you do u, no time for meddling
Love was the muse that wrote merely songs
Love is what keeps single mommies strong

Greetings,

Here is Nabucco's original lyric and two English translations, all from http://www.allthelyrics.com/forum/lyrics-translation/11939-chorus-hebrew-slaves.html

Just wondering what goes in the mind of Ptaah while he was listening to it in Billy's office (line 10, 236th Contact)

clip
Chorus Of The Hebrew Slaves lyrics
Artist - Verdi
Lyrics - Chorus Of The Hebrew Slaves


Va, pensiero, sull'ali dorate;
va, ti posa sui clivi, sui colli
ove olezzano tepide e molli
l'aure dolci del suolo natal!
Del Giordano le rive saluta,
di Sionne le torri atterrate.
Oh, mia patria s bella e perduta!
Oh, membranza s cara e fatal!

Arpa d'or dei fatidici vati,
perch muta dal salice pendi?
Le memorie nel petto raccendi,
ci favella del tempo che fu!
O simile di Solima ai fati
traggi un suono di crudo lamento,
o t'ispiri il Signore un concento
che ne infonda al patire virt!

Artm


found them here: http://www.r-ds.com/opera/verdiana/l...Va,%20pensiero

If the link doesn't work, i copyed hereafter:

Fly, thought, on wings of gold,
go settle upon the slopes and the hills
where the sweet airs of our
native soil smell soft and mild!
Greet the banks of the river Jordan
and Zion's tumbled towers.
Oh, my country, so lovely and lost!
Oh remembrance so dear yet unhappy!

Golden harp of the prophetic wise men,
why hang so silently from the willows?
Rekindle the memories in our hearts,
tell us about the times gone by!
Remembering the fate of Jerusalem
play us a sad lament
or else be inspired by the Lord
to fortify us to endure our suffering!

Jamsession


I've sung this in English to these words:

Speed your journey my thoughts and my longings.
Speed your journey through mountain and valley.
Where the sweet scented air breathes a fragrance
of my home long ago, far away.

Golden harps of the prophets O tell me
why so silent you hang on the willows.
Once again sing the songs of my homeland.
Sing again of the days that are gone.

We have drunk from the cup of affliction
and have wept bitter tears of repentance.

O inspire us, Jehovah, with courage
so that we may endure to the last (sing this bit twice)
May endure to the last.

Dianthus
