James Morrison is a serious panty dropper. He sings about love so carefully. aaand Michael Buble declaring is absolute undying affection and admiration for a woman - this is my absolute favorite. Ah, the moons too bright The chains too tight The beast won't go to sleep I've been running through these promises to you That I made and I could not keep Ah but a man never got a woman back Not by begging on his knees Or I'd crawl to you baby And I'd fall at your feet And I'd howl at your beauty Like a dog in heat And I'd claw at your heart And I'd tear at your sheet I'd say please, please I'm your man.

 Nice analogy, Zaqarbal, especially considering the kitchen scenes in the video, where the kitten was a very cute addition. I missed the kitten at the end when the bodies writhing in sexual ecstasy (or torture at its absence) took center stage. Do you know any love songs for cats?I like how the song/video transitions from memory to real time until the separation between the two seems to disappear. Quote:
Translating emotion, meaning, and the feel of the words *is* a challenge. I have only tried to translate a few poems or songs from German to English, one poem being my own that I wrote when a teenager. I tried to maintain the meaning *and* the rhyme. That was difficult but fun. Quote:
There aren't many love songs about platonic love, are there? And yet platonic love is so powerful and often so lasting that one would think it would be the subject of more songs...especially since, in my opinion, platonic love is the basis of any love. Can you think of many more love songs about deep platonic love? I especially like the lines you translated about putting the seas in a vase and the summer framed as a picture. Those lyrics remind me of all the little bits and pieces of shells and sticks and leaves I saved when I was a child because they became my treasures connecting me with other places and times...with memory. My little treasures are bittersweet, since they can't replace the reality. Quote:
You make the good point that death in the video *can* simply represent someone changing. I hear from divorced people that when a spouse changes and leaves you, it is worse than death, for if that person's feelings toward you *change* then you can't even really treasure the memories of when that person loved you as you wished.  Your posted nostalgic song about platonic love along the seaside made me think of two love songs about nostalgia and the sea that I like: First, a nostaglic song about romantic (failed) love along the seaside: Don Henley - "Boys of Summer" Second, the ol' famous "Seasons in the Sun" song about all sorts of love...of friends, family, lover (?), children, nature...of life. When I was a child I really loved "Seasons in the Sun."  Ah, love!Terry Jacks - "Seasons in the Sun" Is Michelle a child, do you think? Who is Michelle?

 Apart from that, Belinda Carlisle found a lyrical possibility and made a love song: About a year ago, I had to do (just as a hobby) a curious translation. Spanish band Radio Futura made a song inspired by Anabel Lee, a famous poem by Edgar Allan Poe. So I faced the bizarre situation that certain lines were very similar to Poe's verses, and apparently I had to "re-translate" them. But, obviously, in those cases I preferred to transcribe the original. Here is the final result (I hope it isn't bad  ).Quote:
 That line is an addition by Terry Jacks, isn't it? I mean, it wasn't included in Brel's version.Quote:
Personally, I always think of some famous Italian love songs. For instance, Gino Paoli's Sapore di sale ("Taste of Salt"). And, of course, I bear an ideal Mediterranean beauty in mind every time I listen to it. Ah, l'Amore! "Sapore di sale, sapore di mare ................................ Taste of salt, taste of sea che hai sulla pelle, che hai sulle labbra ................................ that you have on your skin, that you have on your lips quando esci dall'acqua e ti vieni a sdraiare ................................ when you come out the water and you come to lay vicino a me, vicino a me. ................................ near to me, near to me. Sapore di sale, sapore di mare ................................ Taste of salt, taste of sea un gusto un po' amaro di cose perdute ................................ a taste a bit bitter of lost things di cose lasciate lontano da noi.............................of things left far away from us dove il mondo è diverso, diverso da qui. ................................ where the world is different, different from here. Il tempo è nei giorni che passano pigri ................................ The time is in the days that pass lazily e lasciano in bocca il gusto del sale ................................ and leave in the mouth the taste of the salt ti butti nell'acqua e mi lasci a guardarti ................................ you jump in the water and you leave me to watch you e rimango da solo nella sabbia e nel sol. ................................ and I stay alone in the sand and the sun. Poi torni vicino e ti lasci cadere......................Then you come back near and leave yourself fall down così nella sabbia e nelle mie braccia ................................ like this in the sand and in my arms e mentre ti bacio sapore di sale ................................ and while I kiss you taste of salt sapore di mare, sapore di te. ................................ taste of sea, taste of you."
