| My childhood dream has begun to creep up on me again! When I was in the sixth grade my teacher asked everyone in the room what they wanted to be when they grew up. Now being as shy as I was (and still am) when I said I wanted to be a singer everyone. And I mean everyone, I think even my teacher gasped. It may have been a surprise not only because I was shy but because at that time I was the school bully.
In high school I was in a few plays and musicals and I was in the all 4 of the choirs. But at some point in time I became realistic about fame and life. I realized that I might not ever get my chance at fame and I can't waste my life just wanting to be famous.
After I graduated I got a real job and enrolled in college. But now that dream is coming back. I love to sing I always have, my mother told me that when I was really little I used to sing and dance to tv commercials but when the shows would come back on I would walk away from the tv. I still have fear of performing but I also love the adrenaline that comes from fear so I suppose that goes hand in hand.
I guess to prove to myself that I still have the chops, I am in the midst of phonetically teaching myself Habanera from Georges Bizet's Carmen. Before I decided to do this I thought the opera was in Italian and not French. The whole idea was a bit on the ballsy side but I have faith in myself I am really good with audio anyways through repetition I can learn almost anything. I have also learned that French is really really hard! Current Music: Habanera - Bizet

Minister 10213 points | I learned the habanera in high school, I have the advantage of speaking spanish so learning it wasn't too hard for me. But once you know it, it'll roll off your tounge. Here's the lyrics and their meaning just because I think it's relevant.
Mais pas aujourd'hui, c'est certain.
L'amour est un oiseau rebelle
Que nul ne peut apprivoiser,
Et c'est bien en vain qu'on l'appelle,
S'il lui convient de refuser.
Rien n'y fait, menace ou prière,
L'un parle bien, l'autre se tait;
Et c'est l'autre que je préfère
Il n'a rien dit; mais il me plaît.
L'amour! L'amour! L'amour! L'amour!
L'amour est enfant de Bohême,
Il n'a jamais, jamais connu de loi,
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde à toi!
Si tu ne m'aime pas,
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime!
Mais, si je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde à toi!
Si tu ne m'aime pas,
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime!
Mais, si je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde à toi!
L'oiseau que tu croyais surprendre
Battit de l'aile et s'envola;
L'amour est loin, tu peux l'attendre;
Tu ne l'attend plus, il est là !
Tout autour de toi vite, vite,
Il vient, s'en va, puis il revient!
Tu crois le tenir, il t'évite;
Tu crois l'éviter, il te tient!
L'amour, l'amour, l'amour, l'amour!
L'amour est enfant de Bohême,
Il n'a jamais, jamais connu de loi,
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde à toi!
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde à toi!
Si tu ne m'aime pas,
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime!
Mais, si je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde à toi!
Si tu ne m'aime pas,
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime!
Mais, si je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde à toi!
Translation:
When will I love you?
Good lord, I don't know,
Maybe never, maybe tomorrow.
But not today, that's certain.
Love is a rebellious bird
That nothing can tame,
And it is simply in vain to call it
If it is convient for it to refuse.
Nothing will work, threat or pleading,
One speaks, the other stays quiet;
And it's the other that I prefer
He said nothing; but he pleases me.
Love! Love! Love! Love!
Love is the child of the Bohemian,
It has never, never known any law,
If you don't love me, I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!
If you don't love me,
If you don't love me, I love you!
But, if I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!
If you don't love me,
If you don't love me, I love you!
But, if I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!
The bird you thought to surprise
Bat its wing and flew away;
Love is far away, you can wait for it;
If you wait for it no more, it is there!
All around you, quickly, quickly,
It comes, goes, then it comes back!
You think to hold it, it avoids you;
You think to avoid it, it holds you!
Love, love, love, love!
Love is the child of the Bohemian,
It has never, never known any law,
If you don't love me, I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!
If you don't love me, I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!
If you don't love me,
If you don't love me, I love you!
But, if I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!
If you don't love me,
If you don't love me, I love you!
But, if I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself! |
