Ballada o Ryszardzie Ptasińskim

[Verse] In the age of kings long gone Where swords would clash and roar Lands were tamed from dusk till dawn Under banners knights once swore [Verse 2] Through the mist on cobbled streets Whispers carried far and near Legends told where shadows meet Echoed loud in hearts sincere [Chorus] Oh the hearth still burns tonight With the glow of battles past Songs of heroes take their flight Their legacy shall forever last [Bridge] From the mountains cold and steep To the meadows soft and wide Oaths were made and truths were deep With their honor as their guide [Verse 3] Lanterns lit the midnight sky As the minstrel strummed his chord Life of kings who do not die Still sung around the hallowed board [Chorus] Oh the hearth still burns tonight With the glow of battles past Songs of heroes take their flight Their legacy shall forever last

[Verse] The train rolled in at the break of dawn Three soldiers returned, but one was gone A flag-draped box was all that stayed In a mother’s arms, her tears were laid [Verse] The second one came on wheels of steel Lost his legs on a foreign field He smiled faintly, said “I’m still here” But his hollow laugh betrayed his fear [Chorus] Three seats taken, but hearts torn apart One’s in the ground, one’s got a broken start And one’s just wandering a battlefield plain Three soldiers home, but none the same [Verse] The last stepped off with a distant stare Breathing home’s air, but he wasn’t there His hands still shook from the fight he'd seen Lost in the smoke of where he’d been [Bridge] The town lined up, flags held high But couldn’t meet the soldier’s eye For one was gone, one battered and torn And one just wished he’d never been born [Chorus] Three seats taken, but hearts torn apart One’s in the ground, one’s got a broken start And one’s just wandering a battlefield plain Three soldiers home, but none the same

[Verse] The schoolyard flag at half-mast flies, For the soldier who gave his life under skies, They bring him home in a flag-draped chest, A small-town hero laid to rest. [Verse 2] The second man rolls through on steel wheels, His world’s gone quiet, but the pain feels real, A hometown boy in a battle-torn shell, Living proof of some kind of hell. [Chorus] Three boots on the ground, but life's not the same, War takes its toll; it plays a cruel game, One’s laid to rest, one can’t ever stand, And one’s lost in ghosts he can't understand. [Verse 3] The third one stares at the county line, His body's here, but not his mind, He drinks alone 'til the bottle's dry, With haunted whispers and a thousand-mile cry. [Bridge] Mama’s tears fall every Sunday pew, Their stories blend, it don’t feel new, Prayers rise up for sons torn apart, But a war leaves scars on every heart. [Verse 4] And in the yard, three stones now stand, For three brothers who once shared this land, Different paths, but the bitter truth's the same, That not all who return can escape the pain.

[Verse] जुन जस्ती निधारको कालो तिकी कानमा झुम्का बोकी अनि ओठमा लगाई लाली माया गरी सधैँभरी [Chorus] हाम्रो साथ रहोस जुनी भरी यो यात्रा कहिले नटुटोस कहिल्यै कही हृदयमा होस माया निरन्तर बगिरही साथ सधैँ पैलाभरी [Verse 2] आकाश जस्तो विशाल हाम्रो प्रेम पहाड जस्तो बलियो स्थिर छ त्यो नेम जुन जस्तै निलो मुहार सपना साझा होस् बारम्बार [Chorus] हाम्रो साथ रहोस जुनी भरी यो यात्रा कहिले नटुटोस कहिल्यै कही हृदयमा होस माया निरन्तर बगिरही साथ सधैँ पैलाभरी [Bridge] जुनले देखोस् हाम्रो उज्यालो बाटो सङ्गै लेखौँ हर दिनको नोट कलम होस् प्रेमले भिजेको हाम्रो कथा कहिले नबुझिएको [Chorus] हाम्रो साथ रहोस जुनी भरी यो यात्रा कहिले नटुटोस कहिल्यै कही हृदयमा होस माया निरन्तर बगिरही साथ सधैँ पैलाभरी

(Verse 1) Sunrise paints the ferry gold, a chill wind off the Sound, Another day on Whidbey's fold, where hidden homes are found. My tools are packed, my van is primed, a thermos steamin' hot, Another circuit intertwined, another tangled knot. From Langley's shores to Oak Harbor's bay, I'm chasin' every spark, A flicker here, a power sway, I'm leavin' my own mark. (Chorus) Whidbey wires, runnin' deep, through cedar, fir, and pine, From island homes where secrets sleep, to storefronts brightly shine. I'm the current's steady hand, the voltage's trusted guide, An electrician on this land, where nature's beauty hides. (Verse 2) A farmhouse old, with knob and tube, a relic of the past, A modern build, a sleek new cube, where solar panels cast. The salty air, the misty rain, the eagles overhead, I'm climbin' poles, again, again, where power lines are spread. The tide is low, the seagulls cry, a customer calls in need, A tripped breaker, blinkin' eye, a complicated deed. (Chorus) Whidbey wires, runnin' deep, through cedar, fir, and pine, From island homes where secrets sleep, to storefronts brightly shine. I'm the current's steady hand, the voltage's trusted guide, An electrician on this land, where nature's beauty hides. (Bridge) Sometimes the ferry's late at night, the fog hangs thick and low, But when I flip that switch to light, the satisfaction starts to grow. A warm glow in a cabin's pane, a porch lamp shinin' bright, I know I've eased another pain, and chased away the night. (Chorus) Whidbey wires, runnin' deep, through cedar, fir, and pine, From island homes where secrets sleep, to storefronts brightly shine. I'm the current's steady hand, the voltage's trusted guide, An electrician on this land, where nature's beauty hides. (Outro) The sun descends, a crimson hue, across the Puget's face, Another job, another view, a peaceful, quiet space. I park my van, my day is done, the tools are put away, Another spark, another one, to brighten Whidbey's day.

[Verse] You dropped my heart on the kitchen floor Like broken glass I can’t ignore A million pieces they cut right through Can’t figure out how to move without you [Verse 2] What’s left of love is a hollow shell An empty echo in a wishing well The clock keeps ticking but the time feels slow In the land of goodbye where we don’t grow [Chorus] Oh You tore my heart in two Left me hanging on a thread too blue Every word you said still lingers Yeah it’s true But maybe pain's just love’s tattoo [Verse 3] Your shadow lingers in the morning light Like a ghost that haunts my soul at night I try to shake it but it pulls me back A runaway train off the memory track [Bridge] I’m learning to breathe in the after-storm The cold feels sharper where it once was warm But if healing’s slow then I’ll take my time I’ll build a new life line by line [Chorus] Oh You tore my heart in two Left me hanging on a thread too blue Every word you said still lingers Yeah it’s true But maybe pain's just love’s tattoo

[Verse] Underneath the willow tree's shade Eyes glistened in the light summer fade Barefoot whispers in fields of thyme Your hand fits perfectly Fingers intertwined [Chorus] Oh The rush The careless bloom Hearts racing under the waxing moon Every stolen laugh Every stolen glance Time holds still in this tender dance [Verse] The old gravel road We’d traced it slow Wildflowers bloomed where the soft winds blow Barely a word Yet everything’s clear In quiet moments Love draws near [Bridge] A melody hums where words should be Soft as the ripple of the distant sea The world is louder But in our sphere It’s just you Just me—it’s all we hear [Chorus] Oh The rush The careless bloom Hearts racing under the waxing moon Every stolen laugh Every stolen glance Time holds still in this tender dance [Verse] Seasons roll by But this remains Love stitched in the lines of our fleeting gains The younger days may someday fade But the song of us It will not parade

(Verse 1) Tus ojos me encienden, fuego en mi piel, Cada susurro tuyo, me llama otra vez. El aire entre nosotros, tan pesado de deseo, Tus manos sobre mí, siento lo que quiero. (Pre-Chorus) No hay palabras, solo el roce, Tu cuerpo habla más que el sol, Y en cada beso que me robas, Pierdo el control, pierdo el control. (Chorus) Baila conmigo, sin miedo al final, Que el tiempo se detenga, esta noche es nuestra, Cuerpo y alma, entrelazados, En este amor, no hay regreso, solo el destino marcado. Baila, que mi alma te llama, Ven, que mi cuerpo te pide, Baila, que el fuego nos consume, Y no habrá nadie que lo impida. (Verse 2) Tu aliento en mi cuello, me hace temblar, No puedo escapar, quiero más, quiero más. Cada roce es un suspiro, cada paso es un veneno, Somos dos almas perdidas, entregadas al deseo. (Pre-Chorus) No hay palabras, solo el roce, Tu cuerpo me habla más que el sol, Y en cada beso que me robas, Pierdo el control, pierdo el control. (Chorus) Baila conmigo, sin miedo al final, Que el tiempo se detenga, esta noche es nuestra, Cuerpo y alma, entrelazados, En este amor, no hay regreso, solo el destino marcado. Baila, que mi alma te llama, Ven, que mi cuerpo te pide, Baila, que el fuego nos consume, Y no habrá nadie que lo impida. (Bridge) Siento tus manos recorriendo mi piel, Cada caricia, cada beso, se convierte en un lazo fiel. Y aunque lo neguemos, sabemos que aquí estamos, Bailando con el alma, nuestros cuerpos entrelazados. (Chorus) Baila conmigo, sin miedo al final, Que el tiempo se detenga, esta noche es nuestra, Cuerpo y alma, entrelazados, En este amor, no hay regreso, solo el destino marcado. Baila, que mi alma te llama, Ven, que mi cuerpo te pide, Baila, que el fuego nos consume, Y no habrá nadie que lo impida. (Outro) Baila, sígueme en la oscuridad, Que este amor no tiene final, Cuerpo y alma, juntos hasta el fin, En este juego, solo existimos tú y yo, amor sin fin.

[Verse] Through hazy mists on hills so wide The heather sways Our hearts abide Fields of green Where tales were spun Underneath the fading sun [Verse 2] The stone walls whisper ancient cries Of battles fought ‘neath moody skies The fiddle larks and pipes still call To sons and daughters One and all [Chorus] Oh Carry me to Erin’s shore Where rolling waves and hearts adore The clover grows The winds do sigh Beneath the weeping Endless sky [Verse 3] By lantern’s light The stories told Of hungry times and hearts so bold The spirits rise in amber glow Through laughter bright They heal the woe [Bridge] The raven calls from cliffs so stark The moon bears witness in the dark With sorrow’s weight We still will sing A hymn of hope through everything [Verse 4] When morning breaks We face the land With calloused palms and trembling hands Yet joy bursts forth like winter’s melt For love lives strong where roots are felt
