Ålesund (help·info) is a town and municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is part of the traditional district of Sunnmøre, and the center of the Ålesund Region. It is a sea port, and is noted for its unique concentration of Art Nouveau architecture.
Ålesund town is the administrative centre of the municipality as well as the principal shipping town of the Sunnmøre district. Ålesund municipality has a population of 42,982 as of 2010, while the greater Ålesund area has a population of 47,772 (this also includes most of neighboring Sula as well).
The port of Ålesund was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt) and it received town rights in 1848. On 1 January 1875, part of Borgund (population: 902) was transferred to the town of Ålesund. In 1922, another part of Borgund (population: 1,148) was transferred to the town of Ålesund. On 1 January 1968, most of the neighboring municipality of Borgund (population: 20,132) was merged into Ålesund. This merger more than doubled the population of Ålesund, for a new total population of 38,589. On 1 January 1977, the island of Sula and some small surrounding islets (population: 6,302) were separated from Ålesund to form a separate municipality.
Well, they call me William the Pleaser
I sold opium, fireworks and lead
Now I'm telling my troubles to strangers
When the shadows get long I'll be dead
Now, her hair was as black as a bucket of tar
Her skin as white as a cuttlefish bone
I left Texas to follow Lucinda
Now I'll never see heaven or home
I made a wish on a sliver of moonlight
A sly grin and a bowl full of stars
Like a kid who captures a firefly
And leaves it only to die in the jar
As I kick at the clouds at my hanging
As I swing out over the crowd
I will search every face for Lucinda's
And she will go off with me down to hell
I thought I'd broke loose of Lucinda
The rain returned and so did the wind
I cast this burden on the god that's within me
And I'll leave this old world and go free
The devil dances inside empty pockets
But she never wanted money or pearls
No, that wasn't enough for Lucinda
She wasn't that kind of girl
Now I've fallen from grace for Lucinda
Whoever thought that hell be'd so low
I did well for an old tin can sailor
But she wanted the bell in my soul
I've spoken the god on the mountain
And I've swam in the Irish sea
I ate fire and drank from the Ganges
And I'll beg there for mercy for me
I thought I'd broke loose from Lucinda
The rain returned and so did the wind
I was standing outside the Whitehorse
Oh but I was afraid to go in
I heard someone pull the trigger
Her breasts heaved in the moonlight again
There was a smear of gold in the window
And then I was the jewel of her sin
They call me William the Pleaser
I sold opium, fireworks and lead
Now I'm telling my troubles to strangers
When the shadows get long I'll be dead
Now her hair was a black as a bucket of tar
Skin as white as a cuttlefish bone
I left Texas to follow Lucinda
I know I'll never see heaven or home
I know I'll never see heaven or home
I know I'll never see heaven or home
Lucinda
We met one summer evening
As the sun was going down
She was lying on the beach
In her graduation gown
She was wrapped up in a blanket
(I could tell she knew her way around)
And as I lay down beside her
You know she never made a sound
On down the beach came the beach-cleaning man
Scoopin' up the papers and flattening down the sand
"Lucinda, Lucinda, Lucinda - we've got to run away
That big white truck is closin' in
And we'll get wounded if we stay"
Now Lucinda lies buried 'neath the California sand
Put under by the beach-cleaning man
Lucinda, Lucinda, Lucinda - why'd you have to go?
They sent her to high school
hey sent her to low school
Met one summer evening
As the sun was going down
She was lyin' on the beach
In her graduation gown
She was wrapped up in a blanket
I could tell, she knew her way around
And as I lay down beside her
Know, she never made a sound
On down the beach
Came the beach cleaning man
Scoopin' up the papers
Flattening down the sand
Lucinda, Lucinda, Lucinda
Got to run away
That big white truck is closin' in
And we'll get wounded if we stay
Now Lucinda lies buried
'Neath the California sand
Put under
By the beach cleaning man
Lucinda, Lucinda, Lucinda
Why'd you have to go?
They sent her to high school
They sent her to low school
Mamá, he soñado que llamabas a mi puerta
un poco tensa y con la gafas empañadas,
querías verme bien y fue la vez primera,
sentía que sabías como te añoraba.
Y me abrazaste mientras te maravillabas
de que aguantara triste y casi sin aliento,
hace ya tanto que no estamos abrazadas
y en el silencio me dijiste...lo siento!.
Pero ha bastado un ruido para despertarme,
para llorar y para hacer que regresara
a aquellos días que de niña me cuidabas
donde en verano cielo y playa se juntaban.
Mientras con mi muñeca vieja te escuchaba
los cuentos que tú cada noche me contabas
y cuando más pequeña tú me acurrucabas
y adormecida en tu regazo yo soñaba.
Pero a los dieciséis sentí como cambiaba,
y como soy realmente ahora me veía,
y me sentí tan sola y tan desesperada
porque yo no era ya la hija que quería.
Y fue el final así de nuestra confianza
de las pequeñas charlas que ayudaban tanto,
yo me escondí tras una gélida impaciencia,
y tú deseaste el hijo que se te ha negado.
Y me pasaba el día sin volver a casa,
no soportaba tus sermones para nada,
y comencé a volverme yo también celosa,
porque eras casi inalcanzable, tan hermosa.
Y abandoné mi sueño a falta de equipaje,
mi corazón al mar tiré en una vasija,
perdí hasta la memoria por falta de coraje,
porque me avergonzaba tanto ser tu hija.
No, no, no, no, no.
Mas no llamaste tú a mi puerta,
inútilmente tuve un sueño que no
puede realizarse,
mi pensamiento está tan lleno del presente
que mi orgullo no me deja perdonarme.
Mas si llamases a mi puerta en otro sueño,
no lograría pronunciar una palabra,
me mirarías con tu gesto tan severo
y yo me sentiría cada vez mas sola.
Por eso estoy en esta carta tan confusa,
para contar algo de paz en lo que pienso,
no para reclamarte ni pedirte excusas,
es solo para decirte, mama...lo siento!.
Y no es verdad que yo me sienta
avergonzada,
son nuestra almas tan igual, tan parecidas
esperaré pacientemente aquí sentada,
te quiero tanto mama...escríbeme...tu hija.

I got a message
Oh as I was told
Summer's fadin'
And California seems so cold
Lucinda, Lucinda
A child of the water
Lucinda, Lucinda
A child of the sea
In the ocean
It's where it all begins
With sweet emotion
We try and drink away our sins
Lucinda, Lucinda
A child of the water
Lucinda, Lucinda
A child of the sea
And i will always be around
And you can lay your burden down
The bus is waiting
The folks are going home
We're celebrating
Save your life by playing rock 'n roll
Lucinda, Lucinda
A child of the water
Lucinda, Lucinda
A child of the sea
Lucinda, Lucinda
A proud poet's daughter
Lucinda, Lucinda
The trick is you and me
Wherever we might rome
I will always be alone
Dios a mi me dio una santa,
que me mira desde el cielo,
mi conciencia está en sus manos,
entre sus alas me duermo.
Su virtud es la pureza,
el deseo es su pecado,
mirando hacia el infinito,
con el pecho iluminado.
Y es que mi santa es como
cualquier otra santa,
cara de niña y cuerpo de mujer
y alma de anciana.
Dios a mi me dio una santa,
que me mira desde el cielo,
mi conciencia está en sus manos,
entre sus alas me duermo.
Cuidame todas las noches,
sobre volando mi cama,
has que sienta tu presencia,
santa hermosa de mi alma.
Y nunca dejes
que me pierda en este mundo inhóspito,
que si me apartas de tu lado
sólo soy un ciego.
Dios a mi me dio una santa,
que me mira desde el cielo,
mi conciencia está en sus manos,
entre sus alas me duermo.
Dios a mi me dio una santa,
que me mira desde el cielo,
mi conciencia está en sus manos,
entre sus alas me duermo.
Dios a mi me dio una santa.

Ay...ay...ay...ay...ay
Dime tu si me miras a mi
No soy la niña que antes fui
Me aleje de tu amor, that's right.
Quiero pensar que se puede cambiar
La luna llena por el sol
En un eclipse total.
Se fue como el viento
¿Por qué acabo?
*Coro
Ay...ay... haría todo porque estuvieras aquí,
Oh...oh... lo siento
Ay...ay.... hoy me equivoque, me precipite
Pero por favor...oh...oh....lo siento.
Ah...ah.... lo siento
En la pared tu retrato colgué
La via sin ti no pinta igual,
Se borro tu color, that's right
Tanto dolor por un simple error
Que no consigo entender
Vuelve mi amor otra vez
Se fue como el viento
¿Por qué acabo?
*Coro
En mi mente...tu recuerdo estará
Impaciente....yo esperare
Fácilmente...dejare este dolor, si cambias de parecer.
*Coro
Ay...ay.... I am sorry...haría todo porque estuvieras aquí
Oh...oh lo ...siento
Ay...ay... hoy me equivoque, me precipité
Pero por favor....oh .....oh ...lo siento.
Al final que es absurdo continuar cuando el tiempo corre no lo puedo manejar
Tantas veces lo intenté sin obtener un resultado
entiende, estoy cansado tratando de salir
no creo que pueda seguir reprimes todo lo que intenta surgir en mi vida
tengo que decidir, no entiendo tus intenciones por favor déjame en paz.
Cuantas veces ya dejé que fuese solo así estando tan seguro que no podía seguir al final
de tanta idiotez me termino por asfixiar, no comparto tu ideal no comparto tu ideal
lo siento realmente debo decidir si destruyo todo esto o me marcho de aquí
no tengo temor no soporto más
no lo voy a aceptar no lo voy a aceptar.
cuando el fin llego
no pude contener el llanto al verte reír
no pude comprender
creí que era una pesadilla, algo irreal
y llore, desde lo más profundo de mi alma llore
mucho tiempo ha pasado ya
y las heridas no han cicatrizado aun
apareces en mi vida, implorando una oportunidad
no la tendrás
y espero no dañar el hierro que hay en tu interior
tu corazón
de veras en mi ya no hay nada de amor
lo siento
I never meant to be this silent
But I think you kind of wanted me to
And I never meant to be this lonely
Fact that's why I'm here telling you
If you wanna be out
Then somebody please ring the bell
One ding would solve the bout
Maybe we could begin while you go on fighting the world
For everyone else's problems
So keep dreaming
So deep is the pride that swallows this life
It's closing in way over my head
Another, another...
Loose end keeps haunting me
So keep away from me
'Cause every day you've given me has
Another, another loose end
That I gotta tie up
Now there's much that has changed in me
Since the end of that year
There's not much to be said for
Taking time to be hearing
These words that I say
From so far, far away
This rhetorical, wonderful, magical, laughable life is discovering
The situations clear
Everything seems to be over
So stop dreaming
So deep is the pride that swallows this life
It's closing in way over my head
Another, another...
Loose end keeps haunting me
So keep away from me
'Cause every day you've given me has
No, no...
No temporary vanity can change what you're afraid to show
If you can't find me
You won't know where to run
When it falls down
So deep is the pride that swallows this life
It's closing in way over my head
Another, another...
Loose end keeps haunting me
So keep away from me
'Cause every day you've given me has
There's something in your eyes, That tells me you were,
Right again this time.
But theres nothing I can do, To take back all the,
Pain that I caused you.
You say I was wrong, You said that I had ruined all and everything.
And I know that I was wrong back then, I didn't know to fix things,
Put them back the way they were, Back the way they were.
If I could just replace, The lines from all those,
Tears left on your face.
With shining memories, And smiles from all the,
Great things that we did.
(Then this would be so easy for me)
You say I was wrong, You said that I had ruined all and everything.
And I know that I was wrong back then, I didn't know to fix things,
Put them back the way they were, Back the way they were.
I know!
That I will miss my mark,
And end up right back at the start with nothing more than where do I begin.
As she!
Waits patiently for me,
To make things right with her tonight then she'll be waiting for eternity.
And when all is said and done.
You say I was wrong, You said that I had ruined all and everything.
And I know that I was wrong back then, I didn't know to fix things,
Loose nut in my head
Loose nut rattling my skull
Crying for a human touch
Or anything that'll reach my soul
*(x2)
Loose nut in my head
A bolt of lightning between my legs
I can't think straight my mind's a mess
I only see straight when I'm being led
Loose nut, I want head
The loneliness I dread
Loose nut you can help
Be with me so I don't hurt myself
*(x2)
Loose nut, no bolt fits
My head is giving me fits
Loose nut looking for diversion
Just anything that'll let me stick it in
*(x2)
Don't mind my crazy smile
Hand me the phone so I can dial
I'll be back in a little while
But first I gotta get some vertical smile
*(x2)

Mira
Estoy sentado a tu lado
Hablo y no me oyes
Tus ojos tristes mojados
Estás culpándome
Desgarrador
Es mi dolor por el dolor
Que te hago padecer
Ando
Perdido entre tinieblas
Me engaño y me hago daño
Ciego
Sigo buscando mi alma
Quiero volver a ver
Te fallé
Juré estar siempre junto a ti
Y no lo he podido cumplir
No estás sola, a tu lado voy
Mi amor contigo está
No me ignores, tu sombra soy
Jamás me perderás
Yo lo siento
Pero es cierto
Si lo siento
Ahora muerto estoy
Frío
Hielo que va derritiendo
Tu respiración
Jamás pensé
Poder romperte el corazón
De mi muerte no encuentro la razón
No estás sola, a tu lado voy
Mi amor contigo está
No me ignores, tu sombra soy
