i posted this on my other blog
but i figured i'd throw the link up here, too
cuz i dunno how many of you schmucks read the other one

at any rate,
after putting it off for the better part of 18 months,
i finally went through my hard drive
and put my photos from russia online
i had no real reason for doing it now,
other than i was INSANELY bored on the train ride back
and i needed something to do,
so i went through and edited all the photos on my computer
[and i do mean all of them]

so, here for your viewing pleasure
[along with my photos from new york/chicago/dc]
are my photos from russia
enjoy

ríu, ríu, chíu
la guarda ribera:
dios guardó del lobo
a nuestra cordera

el lobo rabioso
la quiso morder,
mas dios poderoso
la supo defender;
quisola hacer
que no pudiese pecar,
ni aun original
esta virgen no tuviera

este que es nacido
es el gran monarca,
cristo patriarca
de carne vestido;
hanos redimido
con se hacer chiquito
aunque era infinito,
finito se hiciera

muchas profecías
lo han profetizado,
y aun en nuestros días
lo hemos alcanzado.
a dios humanado
vemos en el suelo,
y al hombre en el cielo
porque el le quisiera

yo vi mil garzones
que andaban cantando,
por aquí volando
haciendo mil sones,
diciendo a gascones:
"gloria sea en el cielo
y paz en el suelo,
pues jesús naciera"

щедрик щедрик, щедрiвочка,
прилeтiла ластiвочка,

стала собi щебетати,
господаря викликати:
"вийди, вийди, господарю,
подивися на кошару,

там овечки покотились,
а ягнички народились.
в тебе товар весь хороший,
будеш мати мiрку грошей,

в тебе товар весь хороший,
будеш мати мiрку грошей,
хоч не грошi, то полова:
в тебе жiнка чорноброва."

щедрик щедрик, щедрiвочка,
прилeтiла ластiвочка.

i call you my friend
and that's all that i do
why do i have to pretend
to find ways to be around you?

you've been there all along,
holding my hand like you do
why do i feel that it's wrong
to love to be around you?

do you feel what i feel?
well? do you feel this way too?
that every wound seems to heal
when i am around you

and i think i'm losing my mind,
maybe i've been hopelessly blind
to your beauty
and you have a sweet, sinful smile
i'm in trouble
cuz you turn me upside down
and around and around

and i must be losing my mind,
maybe you have a sweet, sinful smile
i'm in trouble
cuz you turn me upside down
and around and around

my feet don't touch the ground
when i'm around you

rien de dormier cette nuit
je veux de toi
jusqu'à ce que je sois sec
mais nos corps sont tout mouillés
complètement couvert de sueur
nous nous noyons dans la marée
je n'ais aucun désir
tu as ravagé mon cœur
et moi j'ai bu ton sang

tout le monde est à moi
je l'ai gagné dans un jeu de cartes
et maintenant je m'en fous
c'était gagné trop facilement
ça y est alors ma belle traîtresse
il faut que je brûle de jalousie
tu as ravagé mon cœur
et moi j'ai bu ton sang

mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
j'aurais toujours faim de toi

no matter what i do,
i'm still hungry for you
