Ciao, carissima! Grazie mille per l'amicizia. Ti dedico questi versi di Guido Gozzano che mi hanno fatto pensare alla tua musica: Primavera per me non è la donna botticelliana dell'Allegoria. Primavera è per me questa farfalla fatta di grazia e fragilità.

Bonjour, Ravie de faire partie de vos amis myspaciens. Un grand bravo pour vos interprétations et vos choix musicaux. Vos disques tournent régulièrement en boucle à la maison, et mes trois enfants les adorent autant que moi et dansent en les écoutant!
Hello Christina, every now and then I stop at this place to listen. It's such a wonderful place to rest on, though I have all this music on my CD:s .. In my thoughts I hug you all! /R
Quando ti stavo aspettando nel parco venne dal cielo chiaro un uccello; cantava tanto, cantava così bello là sulla statua di Eminescu vicino all’arco. Le parole furono d’oro e la melodia celeste, musica più bella che suona lassù alle feste.
In un momento l’uccello era sparito lasciando me da solo nella notte scura. Sparita fu pure la gioa e venne la paura di perderti per un altro amato marito. Non conta quanto ti ho amato, amore, viene sempre il tempo che mi porta il dolore.
Se io fossi fuoco brucerei la terra abitata dalla gente cieca ed ignorante; lascerei niente altro che la mia amante e per i sopravvisuti l’ultima guerra.
Così finisce la vita di questo mondo che mi ha rubato la mia cara ragazza proprio come quella ladra della gazza che lavora per lui laggiù nel fondo.
Non so dove vado quando lascio la vita; ma anche se vado laggiù dal vecchio, mi posso guardare allo specchio, perché ho solo l’amore per la mia zita.
