FRIDA & ME




Frida, The Great!
Yesterday I saw this movie called "FRIDA", and I suddenly realized it is about this woman painter from Mexico, whose painting exhibition I had attended long back when I was living in Japan. I was absolutely impressed by her style then. Her depiction of pain, love, emotions, reality and dreams had had me thinking for days. Although my state of mind then was not as it is now (better or worse I don’t know), now I realize so many similarities between me n her. The first ,third & the last letters in the name for instance, her style of depicting her emotional state, which many people may think as depressing or too gross, many many things...!!
Anyways, I am really impressed by her and want to share this lovely song from the film.
It plays in the end with her death depicted by her bed flying high in the sky and burning to flames....weirdly though it doesn't look like a depressing sight and she has the sweetest smile on her face.....!
Burn It Blue
- Caetano Veloso & Lila Dawn
Burn this house
Burn it blue
Heart running on empty
So lost without you

But the night sky blooms with fire
And the burning bed floats higher
And she’s free to fly…

Woman so weary
Spread your unbroken wings
Fly free as the swallow sings
Come to the fireworks
See the dark lady smile
She burns…

And the night sky blooms with fire
And the burning bed floats higher
And she’s free to fly…

Burn this night
Black and blue
So cold in the morning
So cold without you

And the night sky blooms with fire
And the burning bed floats higher
And she’s free to fly

Y la noche que se incendia,
Y la cama que se eleva,
A volar…

And of the dark days
Painted in dark gray hues
They fade with the dream of you
Wrapped in red velvet
Dancing the night away
I burn…

Midnight blue
Spread those wings
Fly free with the swallows
Fly one with the wind

Y ella es flama que se eleva,
Y es un pájaro a volar
Y es un pájaro a volar
En la noche que se incendia,
El infierno es este cielo
Estrella de oscuridad

And the night sky blooms with fire
And the burning bed floats higher
And she ’s free to fly
Just a spark in the sky
Painting heaven and hell
Much brighter

Burn this house
Burn it blue
Heart running on empty
So lost without you....
