I have never heard of “Alejandro” by Lady Gaga until my friend suggested it.

“Listen to “Alejandro Gaga” – absolutely idiotic song, but perfect (!!!) salsa bit.”

I did look it up and watched the official video.

I was partially teasing my friend because I was not at all offended, but knowing him I was positive that he would be petrified if he knew what the video looked like.  Maybe I was wrong.  Assumptions, assumptions.

That is what I wrote in response:

“You gotta be kidding  me.  You made me watch this?!

Did you watch it yourself?  I suggest you do in its entirety and we share our opinions afterward.  I really don’t care for the bit.  This is insane.  Even though, I have to confess I was laughing partially because I was drunk.”

And drunk I was.  I was laughing long afterward.

But then communicating with another friend I told him that “Our communication resembles as much sanity as it is in this song” meaning “Alejandro” by Lady Gaga.

I doubt if he listened or watched.

Because what he said was

“thanks for the note…personal side bar can not stand Lady Gaga…but nice you tried to find some music to suit your mood”.

But that is exactly what our communication is.  All muddled up.  I never said a word that it suited my mood.  But boy, did it make me laugh!!!

Sie verbirgt wahre Liebe

This is my version of “Alejandro”.  There is nothing Mexican about the song or the boys in the video.  Given their uniform I would rather say it was inspired by Germans.  And one of the boys in the video closer to the end looked quite German or Russian, it does not really matter.  But that is the reason why I translated (sort of, my apologies to the German speaking people, I used auto translator.  If anybody wants to correct it, you are welcome, but it is mostly done for comic relief, not to offend anyone).

Or you are welcome to write your own lyrics to this video in any language.

So, here we go:

No particular reason for picking this song.  Or there is a possibility that there is a reason for everything.  As one of my new acquaintances put it “there is a reason for my insanity”.  So there must be a reason for mine.

Bob Dylan “Things Have Changed”

A worried man with a worried mind

No one in front of me and nothing behind

There’s a woman on my lap and she’s drinking champagne

Got white skin, got assassin’s eyes

I’m looking up into the sapphire-tinted skies

I’m well dressed, waiting on the last train

 

Standing on the gallows with my head in a noose

Any minute now I’m expecting all hell to break loose

 

People are crazy and times are strange

I’m locked in tight, I’m out of range

I used to care, but things have changed

 

This place ain’t doing me any good

I’m in the wrong town, I should be in Hollywood

Just for a second there I thought I saw something move

Gonna take dancing lessons, do the jitterbug rag

Ain’t no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag

Only a fool in here would think he’s got anything to prove

 

Lot of water under the bridge, lot of other stuff too

Don’t get up gentlemen, I’m only passing through

 

People are crazy and times are strange

I’m locked in tight, I’m out of range

I used to care, but things have changed

 

I’ve been walking forty miles of bad road

If the Bible is right, the world will explode

I’ve been trying to get as far away from myself as I can

Some things are too hot to touch

The human mind can only stand so much

You can’t win with a losing hand

 

Feel like falling in love with the first woman I meet

Putting her in a wheelbarrow and wheeling her down the street

 

People are crazy and times are strange

I’m locked in tight, I’m out of range

I used to care, but things have changed

 

I hurt easy, I just don’t show it

You can hurt someone and not even know it

The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity

Gonna get low down, gonna fly high

All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie

I’m in love with a woman who don’t even appeal to me

 

Mr. Jinx and Miss Lucy, they jumped in the lake

I’m not that eager to make a mistake

 

People are crazy and times are strange

I’m locked in tight, I’m out of range

I used to care, but things have changed

“Every word of love I used to say, now I paint it every day…”

“I sold my strings, my songs and dreams…”

“When you leave my colours fade to gray,

Hey, little lover stay,

Or all my colours fade away…”

A friend sent me a song.  Well, what friends are for?  The song is beautiful and it was so thoughtful of him.  Every time I listen to this song, I remember him.
