Ibnu Muhammad Ibnu Atha’illah As-Sakandari

Nama lengkapnya adalah Syekh Ahmad ibnu Muhammad Ibnu Atha’illah As-Sakandari. Ia lahir di Iskandariah (Mesir) pada 648 H/1250 M, dan meninggal di Kairo pada 1309 M. Julukan Al-Iskandari atau As-Sakandari merujuk kota kelahirannya itu.

Sejak kecil, Ibnu Atha’illah dikenal gemar belajar. Ia menimba ilmu dari beberapa syekh secara bertahap. Gurunya yang paling dekat adalah Abu Al-Abbas Ahmad ibnu Ali Al-Anshari Al-Mursi, murid dari Abu Al-Hasan Al-Syadzili, pendiri tarikat Al-Syadzili. Dalam bidang fiqih ia menganut dan menguasai Mazhab Maliki, sedangkan di bidang tasawuf ia termasuk pengikut sekaligus tokoh tarikat Al-Syadzili.

Ibnu Atha'illah tergolong ulama yang produktif. Tak kurang dari 20 karya yang pernah dihasilkannya. Meliputi bidang tasawuf, tafsir, aqidah, hadits, nahwu, dan ushul fiqh. Dari beberapa karyanya itu yang paling terkenal adalah kitab Al-Hikam. Buku ini disebut-sebut sebagai magnum opusnya. Kitab itu sudah beberapa kali disyarah. Antara lain oleh Muhammad bin Ibrahim ibnu Ibad Ar-Rasyid-Rundi, Syaikh Ahmad Zarruq, dan Ahmad ibnu Ajiba.

Beberapa kitab lainnya yang ditulis adalah Al-Tanwir fi Isqath Al-Tadbir, Unwan At-Taufiq fi’dab Al-Thariq, Miftah Al-Falah dan Al-Qaul Al-Mujarrad fil Al-Ism Al-Mufrad. Yang terakhir ini merupakan tanggapan terhadap Syekhul Islam ibnu Taimiyyah mengenai persoalan tauhid.

Kedua ulama besar itu memang hidup dalam satu zaman, dan kabarnya beberapa kali terlibat dalam dialog yang berkualitas tinggi dan sangat santun. Ibnu Taimiyyah adalah sosok ulama yang tidak menyukai praktek sufisme. Sementara Ibnu Atha'illah dan para pengikutnya melihat tidak semua jalan sufisme itu salah. Karena mereka juga ketat dalam urusan syari’at.

Ibnu Atha'illah dikenal sebagai sosok yang dikagumi dan bersih. Ia menjadi panutan bagi banyak orang yang meniti jalan menuju Tuhan. Menjadi teladan bagi orang-orang yang ikhlas, dan imam bagi para juru nasihat.

Ia dikenal sebagai master atau syekh ketiga dalam lingkungan tarikat Syadzili setelah pendirinya Abu Al-Hasan Asy-Syadzili dan penerusnya, Abu Al-Abbas Al-Mursi. Dan Ibnu Atha'illah inilah yang pertama menghimpun ajaran-ajaran, pesan-pesan, doa dan biografi keduanya, sehingga khazanah tarikat Syadziliyah tetap terpelihara.

Meski ia tokoh kunci di sebuah tarikat, bukan berarti aktifitas dan pengaruh intelektualismenya hanya terbatas di tarikat saja. Buku-buku Ibnu Atha'illah dibaca luas oleh kaum muslimin dari berbagai kelompok, bersifat lintas mazhab dan tarikat, terutama kitab Al-Hikam.

Kitab Al-Hikam ini merupakan karya utama Ibnu Atha’illah, yang sangat populer di dunia Islam selama berabad-abad, sampai hari ini. Kitab ini juga menjadi bacaan utama di hampir seluruh pesantren di Nusantara.

Syekh Ibnu Atha’illah menghadirkan Kitab Al-Hikam dengan sandaran utama pada Al-Qur’an dan As-Sunnah. Guru besar spiritualisme ini menyalakan pelita untuk menjadi penerang bagi setiap salik, menunjukkan segala aral yang ada di setiap kelokan jalan, agar kita semua selamat menempuhnya.

Kitab Al-Hikam merupakan ciri khas pemikiran Ibnu Atha’illah, khususnya dalam paradigma tasawuf. Di antara para tokoh sufi yang lain seperti Al-Hallaj, Ibnul Arabi, Abu Husen An-Nuri, dan para tokoh sufisme falsafi yang lainnya, kedudukan pemikiran Ibnu Atha’illah bukan sekedar bercorak tasawuf falsafi yang mengedepankan teologi. Tetapi diimbangi dengan unsur-unsur pengamalan ibadah dan suluk, artinya di antara syari’at, tarikat dan hakikat ditempuh dengan cara metodis. Corak Pemikiran Ibnu Atha’illah dalam bidang tasawuf sangat berbeda dengan para tokoh sufi lainnya. Ia lebih menekankan nilai tasawuf pada ma’rifat.

Adapun pemikiran-pemikiran tarikat tersebut adalah: Pertama, tidak dianjurkan kepada para muridnya untuk meninggalkan profesi dunia mereka. Dalam hal pandangannya mengenai pakaian, makanan, dan kendaraan yang layak dalam kehidupan yang sederhana akan menumbuhkan rasa syukur kepada Allah dan mengenal rahmat Illahi.

"Meninggalkan dunia yang berlebihan akan menimbulkan hilangnya rasa syukur. Dan berlebih-lebihan dalam memanfaatkan dunia akan membawa kepada kezaliman. Manusia sebaiknya menggunakan nikmat Allah SWT dengan sebaik-baiknya sesuai petunjuk Allah dan Rasul-Nya," kata Ibnu Atha'illah.

Kedua, tidak mengabaikan penerapan syari’at Islam. Ia adalah salah satu tokoh sufi yang menempuh jalur tasawuf hampir searah dengan Al-Ghazali, yakni suatu tasawuf yang berlandaskan kepada Al-Qur’an dan Sunnah. Mengarah kepada asketisme, pelurusan dan penyucian jiwa (tazkiyah an-nafs), serta pembinaan moral (akhlak), suatu nilai tasawuf yang dikenal cukup moderat.

Ketiga, zuhud tidak berarti harus menjauhi dunia karena pada dasarnya zuhud adalah mengosongkan hati selain daripada Tuhan. Dunia yang dibenci para sufi adalah dunia yang melengahkan dan memperbudak manusia. Kesenangan dunia adalah tingkah laku syahwat, berbagai keinginan yang tak kunjung habis, dan hawa nafsu yang tak kenal puas. "Semua itu hanyalah permainan (al-la’b) dan senda gurau (al-lahwu) yang akan melupakan Allah. Dunia semacam inilah yang dibenci kaum sufi," ujarnya.

Keempat, tidak ada halangan bagi kaum salik untuk menjadi miliuner yang kaya raya, asalkan hatinya tidak bergantung pada harta yang dimiliknya. Seorang salik boleh mencari harta kekayaan, namun jangan sampai melalaikan-Nya dan jangan sampai menjadi hamba dunia. Seorang salik, kata Atha'illah, tidak bersedih ketika kehilangan harta benda dan tidak dimabuk kesenangan ketika mendapatkan harta.

Kelima, berusaha merespons apa yang sedang mengancam kehidupan umat, berusaha menjembatani antara kekeringan spiritual yang dialami orang yang hanya sibuk dengan urusan duniawi, dengan sikap pasif yang banyak dialami para salik.

Keenam, tasawuf adalah latihan-latihan jiwa dalam rangka ibadah dan menempatkan diri sesuai dengan ketentuan Allah. Bagi Syekh Atha'illah, tasawuf memiliki empat aspek penting yakni berakhlak dengan akhlak Allah SWT, senantiasa melakukan perintah-Nya, dapat menguasai hawa nafsunya serta berupaya selalu bersama dan berkekalan dengan-Nya secara sunguh-sungguh.

Ketujuh, dalam kaitannya dengan ma’rifat Al-Syadzili, ia berpendapat bahwa ma’rifat adalah salah satu tujuan dari tasawuf yang dapat diperoleh dengan dua jalan; mawahib, yaitu Tuhan memberikannya tanpa usaha dan Dia memilihnya sendiri orang-orang yang akan diberi anugerah tersebut; dan makasib, yaitu ma’rifat akan dapat diperoleh melalui usaha keras seseorang, melalui ar-riyadhah, dzikir, wudhu, puasa ,sahalat sunnah dan amal shalih lainnya.

My Favourite Game - The Cardigans



My Favourite Game - The Cardigans
from the album Gran Turismo

I don't know what you're looking for
you haven't found it baby, that's for sure
You rip me up, you spread me all around
in the dust of the deed of time

And this is not a case of lust, you see
it's not a matter of you versus me
It's fine the way you want me on your own
but in the end it's always me alone

And I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby
losing my favourite game

I only know what I've been working for
another you so I could love you more
I really thought that I could take you there
but my experiment is not getting us anywhere

I had a vision I could turn you right
a stupid mission and a lethal fight
I should have seen it when my hope was new
my heart is black and my body is blue

And I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby
losing my favourite game

I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I tried, I tried, (but you're still the same) I tried
I'm losing my baby
you're losing a saviour and a saint

Show Me Heaven - Maria McKee




Maria McKee - Show Me Heaven

There you go
Flashing fever from your eyes
Hey babe, come over here and shut down tight
I'm not denying
We're flying above it all
Hold my hand, don't let me fall
You've such amazing grace
I've never felt this way

Show me heaven
Cover me
Leave me breathless
Show me heaven please

Here I go
I'm shaking just like breeze
Hey babe I need your hand to steady me
I'm not denying
I'm frightened as much as you
Though I'm barely touching you
I've shivers down my spine
And it feels divine

Show me heaven
Cover me
Leave me breathless
Show me heaven please

If you know what it's like
To dream a dream
Baby hold me tight
And let this be your...heaven

Cover me
Leave me breathless
Show me heaven please

American Pie - Don McLean



American Pie - Don McLean

A long long time ago
I can still remember how
That music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
So

[Chorus]
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey in Rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so?
Now do you believe in rock and roll?
Can music save your mortal soul?
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?

Well, I know that you're in love with him
Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singin'

[Chorus]

Now, for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
But, that's not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
Oh and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lenin read a book on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We were singin'

[Chorus]

Helter skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
It landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance
Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?
We started singin'

[Chorus]

Oh, and there we were all in one place
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
Cause fire is the devil's only friend
And as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in Hell
Could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singin'

[Chorus]

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most-
the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost-
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
And they were singing

[Chorus: x2]

A long, long time ago

And I knew that if I had my chance

Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above

Now do you believe in Rock 'n' roll
And can music save your mortal soul

Well, I know that you're in love with him
'Cos I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes

Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

We started singin'
We started singin'
We started singin'
We started singin'

Live To Tell - Madonna



Live To Tell - Madonna

I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall

[Chorus:]

A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of me

I know where beauty lives
I've seen it once, I know the warm she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines inside, you can't take that from me

[chorus]

[2nd Chorus:]

The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again

If I ran away, I'd never have the strength
To go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart
Will it grow cold
The secret that I hide, will I grow old
How will they hear
When will they learn
How will they know

[chorus]
[2nd chorus]



Open Your Heart - Madonna



Open Your Heart - Madonna

I see you on the street and you walk on by
You make me wanna hang my head down and cry
If you gave me half a chance you'd see
My desire burning inside of me
But you choose to look the other way
I've had to work much harder than this
For something I want don't try to resist me

[Chorus:]

Open your heart to me, baby
I hold the lock and you hold the key
Open your heart to me, darlin'
I'll give you love if you, you turn the key

I think that you're afraid to look in my eyes
You look a little sad boy, I wonder why
I follow you around but you can't see
You're too wrapped up in yourself to notice
So you choose to look the other way
Well, I've got something to say
Don't try to run I can keep up with you
Nothing can stop me from trying, you've got to

[chorus]

Open your heart with the key
One is such a lonely number

Ah, ah, ah, ah
Open your heart, I'll make you love me
It's not that hard, if you just turn the key

Don't try to run I can keep up with you
Nothing can stop me from trying, you've got to

[chorus]

Open your heart with the key

Open your heart, I'll make you love me
It's not that hard, if you just turn the key
[repeat and fade]

Like A Prayer - Madonna



Like A Prayer - Madonna

Life is a mystery,
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

[Chorus:]
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

I hear your voice, it's like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes, Oh God I think I'm falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me

[Chorus x2]

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like...

[Chorus x2 (with Choir)]
(Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me)

Windmill - Helloween



Windmill - Helloween

Time goes wherever you are,
Time is your guiding star
That shines all through your life,
Makes you feel and move

My dreams are out in the far,
So are yours apart
Of secret fairy tales,
Dripped on the wings of the
Mystery mill

Windmill, windmill, keep on turning;
Show me the way, take me today
Windmill, windmill, hearts are yearning,
Longing for love and a chance to be free

Don't feel alone and depressed,
Someone will come at last
To soothe your stumbling mind,
To keep it away from the evil storm

Windmill, windmill, keep on turning;
Show me the way, take me today
Windmill, windmill, hearts are yearning,
Longing for love and a chance to be free

Windmill, windmill, keep on turning;
Show me the way, take me today
Windmill, windmill, hearts are yearning,
Longing for love and a chance to be free

Windmill, windmill, keep on turning;
Show me the way, take me today
Windmill, windmill, hearts are yearning,
Longing for love and a chance to be free

Time goes wherever you are

How does it feel babe
To taste sweet revenge
Do you want me on my knees
How does it feel babe
to let me feel your strength
Don't be cruel, can't you see
If you don't catch me now

Babe I miss you so much more than words can say

How does it feel babe
To kill our destiny
I swear I'm not gonna crawl oh no

To make a fool out of me
How can you be so cold
If you don't catch me now

Just one more night and the devil's got my soul
I need your love babe don't treat me this way

To give us one more chance to start once again
Baby our love will find a way
As long as we believe in love

Boys Do Fall In Love - Robin Gibb



Boys Do Fall In Love - Robin Gibb

Baby said you had to be a lover
One way or the other
Nobody wins without once giving in
so don't cry now , don't cry now

Love is just a game you played in high school
Girls know how to be cruel
Most of the time girls are cruel to be kind
so don't cry now , don't cry now

And we try to be cool as we dance in a crowded room
At the end of the day , makin' love to a paper moon

She said , boys do fall in love , they make time
They get love on a Saturday night
And she said , hearts beat as they dance
in the street to a radio , oh
Boys fall in love

Baby knows I like to be excited
No one wants to fight it
It's getting late so I'll just demonstrate
Don't cry now , don't cry now

And we try to be cool as we dance in a crowded room
At the end of the day , makin' love to a paper moon

And she said , boys do fall in love , they make love
They get love on a Saturday night
And she said , hearts beat as they dance
in the street to a radio , oh

Oh , boys do fall in love ,they make time (they make time)
They get love on a Saturday night
And she said , hearts beat as they dance
in the street to a radio
Oh, boys fall in love

Boys, boys , oh , boys , boys , boys , oh
Boys, boys , boys , oh
Boys, boys , boys , boys

Boys do fall in love , etc (fade out)

Always On My Mind - Pet Shop Boys



Always On My Mind - Pet Shop Boys

Maybe I didn't treat you quite as good as I should
Maybe I didn't love you quite as often as I could
Little things I should've said and done, I never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you all those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you, I'm so happy that you're mine
If I made you feel second best, I'm so sorry, I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
Satisfied

Little things I should've said and done, I never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't treat you quite as good as I should
Maybe I didn't love you quite as often as I could
Maybe I didn't hold you all those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you, I'm so happy that you're mine

(Maybe I didn't love you...)

It's A Sin - Pet Shop Boys




It's A Sin - Pet Shop Boys

When I look back upon my life
it's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
no matter when or where or who
has one thing in common too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

At school they taught me how to be
so pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do
no matter when or where or who
has one thing in common too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

Father forgive me
I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf
then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me
I didn't believe it
Father you fought me
'cause I didn't care
and I still don't understand

So I look back upon my life
forever with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
no matter when or where or who
has one thing in common too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to I
It's a sin

It wasn't the rain that washed away...
Rinsed out the colours of your eyes
Putting the gun down on the bedside table
I must have realized

It wasn't the rain
That made no difference
And I could have sworn it wasn't me
Yet I did it all so coldly
...almost slowly
Plain for all to see

Oh c'mon please now
Talk to me
Tell me; things I could find helpful
How can I stop now...
Is there nothing I can do
I have lost my way
I've been losing you

I can still hear our screams competing
You're hissing your s's like a snake
Now in the mirror stands
Half a man
I thought no one could break

It wasn't the rain
That made no difference
...nervously drumming on:Run away
But I want the guilt to get me
Thoughts to wreck me
Preying on my mind

So, please now
Talk to me
Tell me; things I could find helpful
For how can I stop now...
Is there nothing I can do
I have lost my way
I've been losing you

The Sun Always Shines On TV - A-HA




The Sun Always Shines On TV - A-HA

Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on TV
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
To me

I reached inside myself and found
Nothing there to ease the
Pressure of my ever worrying mind
All my powers waste away
I fear the crazed and lonely
Looks the mirror's sending me these days

Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on TV
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me

Please don't ask me to defend
The shameful lowlands of the way I'm drifting
Gloomily through time
I reached inside myself today
Thinking there's got to be some way
To keep my troubles distant

Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on TV
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
To me

Take On Me - A-ha




Take On Me - A-HA

We're talking away
I don't know what
I'm to say I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, OK?

[Chorus]
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two

So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry

[Chorus]

Oh the things that you say
Is it live or
Just to play my worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

With Or Without You - U2




With or without you - U2

See the stone
Set in your eyes
See the thorn
Twist in your side
I wait for you

Sleight of hand
And twist of fate
On a bed of nails
She makes me wait
And I wait without you

I can't live with or without you
I can't live with or without you

Through the storm
We reach the shore
You give it all
But I want more
And I'm waiting for you

I can't live with or without you
I can't live with or without you
I can't live...
I can't live with or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give...
And you give...
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied
My body bruised
She's got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give...
And you give...
And you give yourself away

I can't live with or without you
I can't live with or without you
I can't live...
I can't live with or without you

Forever Young - Alphaville



Forever Young - Alphaville

Let's dance in style, lets dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men
Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders we're getting in tune
The music's played by the madman


Forever young, i want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever forever
Forever young, i want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever young


Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth is like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams are swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

Forever young, i want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever forever
Forever young, i want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever forever forever
Forever young, i want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever forever
Forever young, i want to be forever

True Colors - Cyndi Lauper



True Colors - Cyndi Lauper

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Body Rock - Maria Vidal

Born on a hungry street
Children of darkness grew up on the beat.
Anything in our way
We'll just move away.

I got the heart to win
You got the eyes that say that I can
We've gonna turn this town upside down tonight
They can't stop us now!

Body rock
Get your body in the music
Body rock comes from deep inside me
Body rock
Let your body talk to me tonight

We've come from underground Oh
Stickin' together
Gonna turn the world around.
Runnin' through the neon night with a dream inside.

This is like something new
Heartbeat to heartbeat comin' straight at you.
We've got the moment now
Once we're on the move
They can't hold us now!

Body rock
Get your body in the music
Body rock comes from deep inside me
Body rock
Let your body talk to me tonight

Body rock means you do it like you feel it
Body shock turns the beat electric
Body rock - let your body talk to me tonight

Body rock
Get your body in the music
Body rock comes from deep inside me
Body rock
Let your body talk to me

Girls Just Want To Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper



Girls Just Want To Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper

I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun,
They want to have fun,
They want to have fun...

Flashdance What A Feeling - Irene Cara




Flashdance What A Feeling - Irene Cara

First when there's nothing
But a slow glowing dream
That your fear seems to hide
Deep inside your mind

All alone, I have cried
Silent tears full of pride
In a world made of steel
Made of stone

Well, I hear the music
Close my eyes, feel the rhythm
Wrap around, take a hold of my heart

What a feeling
Being's believing
I can have it all
Now I'm dancing for my life
Take your passion
And make it happen
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life

Now I hear the music
Close my eyes, I am rhythm
In a flash, it takes hold of my heart

What a feeling, being's believing
I can have it all
Now I'm dancing for my life
Take your passion
And make it happen
Pictures come alive
Now I'm dancing through my life

What a feeling

What a feeling (I am music now)
Being's believing (I am rhythm now)
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life

What a feeling (I can really have it all)
Being's believing (Pictures come alive when I call)
I can have it all (I can really have it all)
Have it all (pictures come alive when I call)
(Call, call ,call, call, what a feeling)

Las Parabras De Amor - The Words Of Love by Queen



Las Palabras De Amor - Queen

Don't touch me now
Don't hold me now
Don't break the spell, darling
Now you are near
Look in my eyes and speak to me
The special promises I long to hear

Las palabras de amor
Let me hear the words of love
Despacito, mi amor
Love me slow and gently

One foolish world, so many souls
Senselessly hurled through
The never ending cold
And all for fear and all for greed
Speak any tongue
But for God's sake we need

Las palabras de amor
Let me hear the words of love
Despacito, mi amor
Let me know this night and evermore

This room is bare
This night is cold
We're far apart, and I'm growing old
But while we live
We'll meet again
So then, my love
We may whisper once more
It's you I adore

Las palabras de amor
Let me hear the words of love
Despacito, mi amor
Touch me now
Las palabras de amor
Let us share the words of love
For evermore, evermore
For evermore

Life Is Real - Queen



Life Is Real (Song For Lennon) - Queen

Guilt stains on my pillow
Blood on my terraces
Torsos in my closet
Shadows from my past
Life is real life is real
Life is real so real

Sleeping is my leisure
Waking up in a minefield
Dream is just a pleasure dome
Love is a roulette wheel
Life is real life is real
Life is real oh yeah

Success is my breathing space
I brought it on myself
I will price it I will cash it
I can take it or leave it
Loneliness is my hiding place
Breast feeding myself
What more can I say?
I have swallowed the bitter pill
I can taste it I can taste it
Life is real life is real
Life is real

Music will be my mistress
Loving like a whore
Lennon is a genius
Living in every pore
Life is real life is real
Life is real so real
Life is cruel life is a bitch
Life is real so real
Life is real life is real yeah
Life is real
