Roger Federer (German pronunciation: [ˈfeːdəʁɐ]) (born 8 August 1981) is a Swiss professional tennis player who held the ATP No. 1 position for a record 237 consecutive weeks from 2 February 2004 to 18 August 2008. Federer has occupied the #1 ranking for 285 overall weeks, one week short of the record 286 weeks held by Pete Sampras. As of 28 May 2012, he is ranked World No. 3. Federer has won a men's record 16 Grand Slam singles titles. He is one of seven male players to capture the career Grand Slam and one of three (with Andre Agassi and Rafael Nadal) to do so on three different surfaces (clay, grass, and hard courts). He is the only male player in tennis history to have reached the title match of each Grand Slam tournament at least five times and also the final at each of the nine ATP Masters 1000 Tournaments. Many sports analysts, tennis critics, and former and current players consider Federer to be the greatest tennis player of all time.
Federer has appeared in an unprecedented 23 career Grand Slam tournament finals, including a men's record ten in a row, and appeared in 18 of 19 finals from the 2005 Wimbledon Championships through the 2010 Australian Open, the lone exception being the 2008 Australian Open. He holds the record of reaching the semifinals or better of 23 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments over five and a half years, from the 2004 Wimbledon Championships through the 2010 Australian Open. At the 2012 Australian Open, he reached a record 31st consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinal. During the course of his run at the 2012 French Open in Roland Garros, Federer eclipsed Jimmy Connors long standing record of 233 match wins in Grand Slam tournaments when he defeated Adrian Ungur in a second round match.
Stanislas "The Manislas" Wawrinka (born 28 March 1985 in Lausanne) is a Swiss professional tennis player. He also holds German citizenship as his father is German. His career-high singles ranking is World No. 9, achieved on 9 June 2008. He considers clay his best surface and his backhand his best shot. He won the gold medal for Switzerland in the men's doubles event at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, partnering Roger Federer, by beating Swedish team Simon Aspelin/Thomas Johansson in the final. They were also honoured with the 2008 Swiss Team of the Year Award.
John McEnroe believes Wawrinka has one of the most powerful backhands he has ever seen and describes him as having "the best one-handed backhand in the game today".
Wawrinka stopped attending regular schooling at age 15 to focus full-time on tennis. However, he continued his schooling by distance education with the French organization CNED, which offered him greater flexibility.
Wawrinka started playing international junior events at age 14 and entered the satellite circuit the following year. He compiled an outstanding junior career, winning the 2003 French Open Junior championships and finishing as the no. 14 junior.
Life can be so wonderful
Real love this time you fool
And the you wake up
And you'd chew off your own arm
Or face the only graduate from Satans school of charm!
I hear your mama callin' you
I hear your mama callin' you
You'd better stand and face the truth boy
I hear your mama callin' you
I drink three six packs, just so I can look at your face
Finally!
You give a respect, you get respect
And you just don't know your place
Finally!
You never learn, you always burn
Now I've got you off of my case
Finally!
I drank three six packs, just so I could look at your face
Finally!
See ya!
Over, finished, gone, done, out!
She's not the one you married
Not the one who cared
Maybe it's her evil twin thats got you by the shorthairs
Can you live without it?
Can you be a man?
Can you tell her take a walk and stick it up her can!
I hear your mama callin' you
I hear your mama callin' you
You'd better stand and face the truth boy
I hear your mama callin' you
I drink three six packs, just so I can look at your face
Finally!
You give a respect, you get respect
And you just don't know your place
Finally!
You never learn, you always burn
Now I've got you off of my case
Finally!
I drank three six packs, just so I could look at your face
Finally!
See ya!
Over, finished, gone, done, out!
I hear your mama callin' you
I hear your mama callin' you
Now go and pack your bags we're through
I hear your mama callin' you
Rape my mind led down the wrong path
One too many rides and you crashed
Had the looks but had no class
Steal my life and taint my past
Sorry I don't mean to laugh (take it Sam)
How long have you been waiting to be set free?
Don't you know it's easy as 1,2,3
Don't be a faggot now that's the key
Don't you know it's easy as 1,2,3
Now I'm free, now I'm free, me me me finally!!!
Over, finished, gone, done, out!!!!
(claude s.)
...and so another evening
Comes to a desperate close.
No one to say goodnight to at
This hour...
I had a distant foresight of
What could have been real.
If only nothing faded, nothing
To be feared...
If I had a memory, if I had a
Thought to share, something to
Hold onto, something bright as
Stars...
There would be no final
Moments, this long wait for the
Dawn. another sun is rising
Where my soul seems to fall.
These are the final days...
These are the final days...
These are the final days...
These are the final days...
These are the final days...

JACK
My dearest friend, if you don’t mind
I’d like to join you by your side
Where we can gaze into the stars
JACK AND SALLY
And sit together, now and forever
For it is plain as anyone can see
Yendo hacia el cadalso de mis días
con un inmenso animal en los hombros
voy inventando un final
para escaparme de tí.
Y por no decirte lo que debiera
voy inventando un final
para escaparme de vos.
Una noche te perdí
pedí cerveza veneno
brindé por ti
y en cada trago se fueron
las cosas que no supe decir;
las cosas que no supe decir.
I look back at many times, and still I cannot explain why
Those memories thought vain, they become useful here and then
My conscious won't let go, that pain inside me has a home
Those haunting thoughts are stepping stones
And now, that time I spent with you, which all had to be reviewed
The lessons that were stored, I use them all to help ignore
I pile up the bad in order to replace the good we had
Those haunting thoughts are stepping stones
I put my jealousies aside, some part of me said I was right
So I took a new approach and rid myself of foolish pride
My timing it was bad, at least some day I know we'll look and laugh
Those stepping stones built my new path
But hey, hey please don't take offence, it's just I feel alive again
Just a mistake along your way; for me a strange reality
I got tired of taking blame, bored of my animosity
I'm glad this makes me sick, I like my brand new start
Aversion it's my fresh new trick
Oh, hide me, would you love
Until all have gone?
Horsemen riding, shouting, laughing
To their hunting song
Somber words would feign contentment
With eyes half drawn
But in my secret place the voices
Whispers on
Go ahead and show yourself
As you were born to do
Their fathers killed the prophets
Hallelujah, they're going to kill us too
Maidens sing at the harvest
Children dance on the ground
Angels join the gladness
The end will come here soon
As broken men exalt in their own ruin
Stand by me, would you love?
As if queen and pawn
White or black both sides attack
Until victory is won
But you must choose
To win you lose
And when sides are drawn
From my secret place the voices push me on
Go ahead reveal yourself
As you were born to do
Their fathers killed the prophets
Hallelujah, they're going to kill us too
Maidens sing at the harvest
Children dance on the ground
Angels join the gladness
The end will come here soon
As humble men rejoice in their own ruin
Stephen, Stephen, tell me
Weren't you even scared?
Maidens sing at the harvest
Children dance on the ground
Angels join the gladness
Listen to the most beautiful sound
Maidens sing at the harvest
Children dance on the ground
Angels join the gladness
Listen to the most beautiful sound
Maidens sing at the harvest
Children dance on the ground
Angels join the gladness
Listen to the most beautiful sound
Maidens sing at the harvest
Children dance on the ground
Angels join the gladness
Listen to the most beautiful sound
Maidens sing at the harvest
Children dance on the ground
Angels join the gladness
The end will come here soon
As broken men exalt in their own
The end will come here soon

Ah.....
Quelle heure est-il en ce moment ?
Est-ce la fin du monde ou le commencement ?
Ou le commencement ?
Ah...
Maintenant, pour moi tout s'éclaire
Je n'ai fait que passer sur Terre
Le temps d'une vie
Mais le temps est infini
Je continue ma trajectoire
Je vous salue et je repars
Vers d'autres soleils
Vers d'autres galaxies
Pluton Saturne et Jupiter
Entendez-vous monter vers vous
Le chant de la Terre
Y-a-t'il quelqu'un dans l'univers
Qui puisse répondre à nos questions
