BLUES IN BLUE PARTY at T.R.A.C.S
This is not our first blues party. More
about the blues on this blog at:
T.R.A.C.S at Timothy Plaza River Island
Blue (Da Ba Dee)
"Blue (Da Ba
Dee)" is a song by Italian group Eiffel 65. It was released in October
1998 as the lead single from their debut album Europop (1999). The song is the
group's most popular single, reaching number one in many countries such as
Ireland, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Sweden, Switzerland, New
Zealand, Norway, Australia, and Germany, as well as reaching No. 6 on the
Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. In the United Kingdom, the song
originally entered the Top 40 purely on import sales. It was only the third
single to do this. The song also received a Grammy Award nomination for Best
Dance Recording at the 2001 Grammy Awards.
Blue, written by
Eiffel 65 lead singer Jeffrey Jey, keyboardist Maurizio Lobina, and producer
Massimo Gabutti, was inspired from group member Maurizio Lobina's composed
opening piano hook. The producers of the song then came up with the idea for a
dance song. Jey stated his inspiration for the lyrics were on how a person
picked his lifestyle. The color blue as the main topic of the song was picked
at random, with Lobina telling him to write nonsensical lyrics. Lobina came up
with the "da ba dee" hook at the end of this line.
Eiffel 65 are an
Italian three-piece Italo dance/Eurodance group consisting of Jeffrey Jey,
Gabry Ponte and Maurizio Lobina. They are known chiefly for their high-charting
singles, "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" and "Move Your Body", and their
1999 studio album Europop. Their next two albums, Contact! (2001) and their
2003 self-titled album, did not have much international success, but still
managed to chart in Italy.
I'm Blue (Da Ba Dee) - Misheard lyrics
Blue
Blue is the colour of the clear sky and the
deep sea. It is located between violet and green on the optical spectrum.
Surveys in the U.S. and Europe show that
blue is the colour most commonly associated with harmony, faithfulness,
confidence, distance, infinity, the imagination, cold, and sometimes with
sadness. In U.S.
Etymology and linguistic differences
The modern
English word blue comes from Middle English bleu or blewe, from the Old French
bleu, a word of Germanic origin, related to the Old High German word blao. In
heraldry, the word azure is used for blue.
In Russian and
some other languages, there is no single word for blue, but rather different
words for light blue (голубой, goluboy) and dark blue (синий, siniy).
Several
languages, including Japanese, Thai, Korean, and Lakota Sioux, use the same
word to describe blue and green. For example, in Vietnamese the colour of both
tree leaves and the sky is xanh. In Japanese, the word for blue (青 ao)
is often used for colours that English speakers would refer to as green, such
as the colour of a traffic signal meaning "go".
Shades and variations
Blue is the
colour of light between violet and green on the visible spectrum. Hues of blue
include indigo and ultramarine, closer to violet; pure blue, without any
mixture of other colours; Cyan, which is midway on the spectrum between blue
and green, and the other blue-greens turquoise, teal, and aquamarine.
Blues also vary
in shade or tint; darker shades of blue contain black or grey, while lighter
tints contain white. Darker shades of blue include ultramarine, cobalt blue,
navy blue, and Prussian blue; while lighter tints include sky blue, azure, and
Egyptian blue.
Blue pigments
were originally made from minerals such as lapis lazuli, cobalt and azurite,
and blue dyes were made from plants; usually woad in Europe, and Indigofera
tinctoria, or True indigo, in Asia and Africa. Today most blue pigments and
dyes are made by a chemical process.

Make you feel my love / Zo puur kan liefde zijn
Make you feel my love /
Zo puur kan liefde zijn
When the rain is
blowing in your face,
and
the whole world is on your case,
I
could offer you a warm embrace
to
make you feel my love.
When the evening shadows and the stars
appear,
and
there is no one there to dry your tears,
I
could hold you for a million years
to
make you feel my love.
Ik ben geen mens die hoge
eisen stelt.
Of iemand die je met een ring beknelt.
Noch die de uren van ons samen telt.
Zo puur kan liefde zijn.
Ik ben de vogel die je
vliegen leert.
De trooster als het leven jou bezeert.
Maar niemand, als je in jezelve keert.
Zo puur kan liefde zijn.
I know you haven't made your mind up yet,
but
I would never do you wrong.
I've
known it from the moment that we met,
no
doubt in my mind where you belong.
Jouw ogen zeggen mij vaak
zoveel meer.
Dan woorden ooit hebben gedaan.
Als jij me aanraakt voel ik telkens weer.
Vrijheid kan met liefde samen gaan.
I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue,
I'd
go crawling down the avenue.
No,
there's nothing that I wouldn't do
to
make you feel my love.
Mijn liefde is van
levenslange duur.
Soms als een waakvlam, soms een laaiend vuur.
't Zal je verwarmen tot het laatste uur.
Zo puur kan liefde zijn.
(Intermezzo)
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
and
on the highway of regret.
Though winds of change are throwing wild and
free,
you
ain't seen nothing like me yet.
Is soms het pad door 't
leven steil en zwaar.
Als niets meer lijkt zoals het was.
Pak dan mijn hand en droog je tranen maar.
Dan ben ik heel even jouw kompas.
I could make you happy, make your dreams
come true.
Nothing that I wouldn't do.
Go
to the ends of the Earth for you,
to
make you feel my love
Slaap nu maar zacht, ik
doe het licht wel uit.
Je bent zo mooi (when you close your eyes) als
jij je ogen sluit.
Mijn handen strelen zacht je blote huid.
(As pure as love can
be) Zo puur kan
