My favourite love songs are mainly from the 80's and 90's. For instance, these two: Apart from that, I haven't seen songs in French, Italian, Portuguese or Spanish here yet. And a thread about love songs without songs in Latin languages is like a garden without flowers. I'd like to post some masterpieces in Spanish, Portuguese and Italian, but I need time to translate their lyrics properly. Let me a few days to do it.  For the moment, here you are a French classic with English subtitles:♫ "(...) Moi, je t'offrirai.........I'll give you des perles de pluie........pearls of rain venues de pays.........that come from lands où il ne pleut pas...........where it does not rain. (...)" ♫

To drink poison as if it were a soothing liquor, To disregard gain and delight in being injured. To believe that heaven can lie contained in hell; To devote your life and soul to being disillusioned; This is love; whoever has tasted it, knows. (Lope de Vega: Rhymes, 1602)

Baby, I Don't Know What Love Is Maybe I'm A Fool I Just Know What I'm Feeling And It's All Because Of You Don't Tell Me I Don't Know I Want The Truth Cuz They Call It We Call It You Call It I Call It Love I like songs that are like that....they don't try to define love but they express how they feel I also really like this one as well.

i don't really bother that much about the lyrics of a love-song as much as the mood it creates
some of the Mando-pop/Canto-pop lovesongs I listen to has some pretty trite cliched lyrics |

the best love song for me is "what's hurt the most" by the Rascal Flatts. it isn't the most mushiest love song, in fact it's more of a broken-hearted's song but this is how my love life is doing right now and it just makes me cry every time i hear this song.

my thoughts on Love...and Love songs...
...are the songs I play over-simplistic and one-sided? I choose my songs very carefully...they speak my Heart...what I feel for Another....the Love of my Life. I do not find them unrealistic...for this is the Love that I live and experience daily. Is a Love like Ours so rare...that it seems impossible for others to understand? Maybe it is...but songwriters have written of such Love...authors have written of It...poets fill pages with Love... ...what has happened in Our time...to make everyone so bitter towards Love? We are inundated with the statistics...divorce rates climbing...violence against each other...verbal and physical...these are horrible ways to live...to treat one another with such disrespect...but is it the norm?...the negative aspects of everything are focused on so intently...so it seems rare...when We hear a positive story of Love...of a couple together 50...60...70...years...and what do they say about each other? They are positive...Loving towards the Other...sure...they suffered hard times and struggled...as We all do...the many good times are what are remembered...are what are spoken of... ...I am very Blessed to have been brought together in Love with a Wonderful Man...He has given me a Life...where before...I was only existing...He has given me a Beautiful Family...where before...I was alone...He has not only showered me with Love...but has allowed me to Love Him back...in a way that I thought impossible...for the most important aspect of Love...to me...is to be able to give it with abandon...without expectation...for in the act of giving...We receive the greatest of gifts back... ...the songs I choose...I hear and play...this is my Life...these are my feelings...they are in Honour of my Love... ...I am a firm believer in...the kind of energy you put out in life...that is what you receive back...I focus on the positive...on Loving...and that is what is returned to me... ...the Man I Love...is physically many miles from me right now...in a place far removed from this kind of Love...in Our Hearts...We are together...and when I play these songs...We can disappear into them...they are a Portal...into a World of Love... Love Is they say It's a river... ...that circles the Earth a beam of light... ...shinin' to the edge of the Universe It conquers all... ...It changes everything they say It's a Blessing... ...they say It's a gift they say It's a Miracle... ...and I believe that It is It conquers all... ...but It's a Mystery Love breaks the chains... ...Love aches for every one of Us Love takes the tears and the pain... ...and then turns it into the Beauty that remains Last edited by Love-song; 03-20-2011 at 01:39 PM. |

I prefer his Muppets' version though!  Leo Sayer and the Muppets - "When I Need You" Quote:
I disagree that the kind of energy one puts into life is what one receives back, because life guarantees neither reciprocity nor fairness. However, I agree with you on the value of focusing on the positive. Even if life isn't perfect, that philosophy can help one appreciate what *is* nice about it. Here's a love song I think you might like, especially since your man is separated from you far removed from the comfort of being with each other in person. I hope you'll like it. The song is by a MusicBanter member and I think you'll like its message and story very much, since it sounds like it could be about YOU!  Bryan Podwys - "Saving all my Somedays"
