Luther Vandross - Dance With My Father

 
 
Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me and then


Spin me around till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure
I was loved


If I could get another chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
How I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again


Ooh, ooh


When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Then finally make me do just what my mama said


Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he
Would be gone from me


If I could steal one final glance
One final step, one final dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end 
'Cause I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again


Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
And I’d hear her, mama cryin’ for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me


I know I’m prayin’ for much too much
But could You send back the only man she loved
I know You don’t do it usually
But Lord, she’s dyin’ to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MUM!

Dear Mum,
 
Let us celebrate your 50th birthday and thank you for growing me up. Happy birthday!
 
It reminds me of a well-known Japanese movie song:
 
"Mama, do you remember..."

    ma ma do you remember,
    妈妈你可曾记得

    the old straw hat you gave to me,
    你送给我那草帽

    i lost that hat long ago,
    很久以前失落了

    flew to the foggy canyon.
    它飘向浓雾的山岙

    yeh ma ma i wonder
    耶哎妈妈那顶草帽

    what happened to that old straw hat,
    它在何方你可知道

    falling down the mountain side
    掉落在那山坳

    out of my reach like your heart.
    就像你的心儿我再也得不到

    suddenly that wind came up,
    忽然间狂风呼啸

    stealing my hat from me yeh.
    夺去我的草帽耶哎

    swirling whirling gust of wind,
    高高卷走了草帽啊

    blowing it higher away.
    飘向那天外云霄

    ma ma that old straw hat 
    妈妈只有那草帽

    was the only one i really loved,
    是我珍爱的无价之宝

    but we lost it.
    但我们已经失去

    no one could bring it back,
    没有人再能找到

    like the life you gave me.
    就像是你给我的生命

Apollo, Muse, Duet, Fusion...

Suddenly and rather interestingly, I seem to smell the strange relationship between Apollo and Muse due to my poor mythological know-how.  Furthermore, this relationship exactly concides with what appears in the nextgen innovative User Interface projects leaked from Adobe corporation and SAP AG.
 
Apollo [n.]
- Greek Mythology The god of prophecy, music, medicine, and poetry, sometimes identified with the sun.
 
Muse [n.]
- Greek Mythology Any of the nine daughters of Mnemosyne and Zeus, each of whom presided over a different art or science.
 
Next comes the Duet product co-provided by Microsoft and SAP AG, aiming to be excel in both the personal productivity and business applications. As the name tells, it's a harmonious win-win!
 
Duet [n.]
- Music A composition for two voices or instruments.
 
Finally, after talking about new/nextgen product solutions from ADBE, SAP and MSFT, we can never omit the other very amazing name ---- Fusion from Oracle. What simultaneously do we feel against this name? Is it aggressive, powerful, mass-destructive, etc? Probably so...
 
Fusion [n.]
- Physics A nuclear reaction in which nuclei combine to form more massive nuclei with the simultaneous release of energy.
 
Anyway, these are nothing but only names. No one knows the future of them: do customers like more fantastic, more harmonious or more massive experiences? Let's see...

Wurzburg(维尔茨堡)之行

今天我们开车去了Wurzberg,主要参观了主教宫殿,美茵老桥和玛丽亚要塞。晚上回来大家继续做番茄炒鸡蛋面,外加火腿肠,罐头豆豉鱼和100%纯橙汁,吃得还算蛮不错的!:—)

Mannheim(曼海姆)之行

今天去了Mannheim,行程以购物为主。在WALMART买了一些VICHY化妆品,在主街买了几把瑞士军刀。另外值得一提的是,有一家很不错的中餐自助餐馆,5.5欧一人,还花了2.5欧要了一大杯啤酒,吃得很饱,是我三周以来第一次吃这样的中国餐呢,呵呵。:)

Strasbourg(斯特拉斯堡)之行

上周末,和刚到德国的两个同事乘火车去了法国东北部阿尔萨斯省位于德国边境的Strasbourg(斯特拉斯堡)。单程换了三次车,一共乘了四列火车,全程三个小时左右,其中从Appenweier到Strasbourg这一趟火车穿越了德法边境。
 
法国给人的感觉和德国的还是有蛮多不同的,最突出的可能是当地人的思想价值观念吧。
