   ODLM,

   Liniste iluzorie:

   “The motif[edit]

   The motif of “La Paloma” (the dove) can be traced back to an episode that occurred in 492 BC, before Darius’ invasion of Greece, a time when the white dove had not yet been seen in Europe.[2] The Persian fleet under Mardonius was caught in a storm off the shore of Mount Athos and wrecked, when the Greeks observed white doves escaping from the sinking Persian ships. This inspired the notion that such birds bring home a final message of love from a sailor who is lost at sea. This theme that a final link of love overcomes death and separation is reflected in “La Paloma”. While the lyrics may not always be true to the original, the soul of the song seems to survive all attempts to recast it in whatever new form and shape there may be and is able to express the tension between separation with loneliness, even death, and love.”

   ”
   Sebastian Yradier)

   When I left Havana nobody saw me go
   But my little gaucho maid who loves me so
   She came down the pathway following after me
   That same little gaucho maid that I longed to see.

   If at your window you see a gentle dove
   Treat it with care and welcome it there with love
   It may be so I do not deny its glee
   Crown it with flowers grant love its hours for me.

   Oh my darling, be mine
   Won’t you say that you love me
   All my passions so tender
   Oh, please surrender your love divine.

   Ah my darling be mine
   Won’t you say that you love me
   Oh my passions so tender
   Oh, please surrender your love divine.

   — Instrumental —

   Oh my darling be mine
   Won’t you say that you love me
   All my passions so tender
   Oh, please surrender your love divine…”

   Odille- întrucât nu ştiu cui îi sunt adresate “Pupici”, am să le iau eu, ce să fac!

   ODLM,

   As dori sa te rog sa pastrezi citiva pupici si pt ursuleti cu buclisoara carora sa le stearga orice umbra de veche tristete, dar si pt ursuleti fericiti, ca cei cu inimioara in brate, de Valentine’s Day. 🙂

   Odille- cu părere de rău, dar pupicii am să-i păstrez eu pentru că prea mi-au lipsit prin tinereţe.
