Et si tu n'existais pas

Et si tu n'existais pas
Dis-moi pourquoi j'existerais
Pour traîner dans un monde sans toi
Sans espoir et sans regret

Et si tu n'existais pas
J'essaierais d'inventer l'amour
Comme un peintre qui voit sous ses doigts
Naître les couleurs du jour
Et qui n'en revient pas

Et si tu n'existais pas
Dis-moi pour qui j'existerais
Des passantes endormies dans mes bras
Que je n'aimerais jamais

Et si tu n'existais pas
Je ne serais qu'un point de plus
Dans ce monde qui vient et qui va
Je me sentirais perdu
J'aurais besoin de toi

Et si tu n'existais pas
Dis-moi comment j'existerais
Je pourrais faire semblant d'être moi
Mais je ne serais pas vrai

Et si tu n'existais pas
Je crois que je l'aurais trouvé
Le secret de la vie, le pourquoi
Simplement pour te créer
Et pour te regarder


---------translation--------

And if you did not exist
Tell me why would I exist
To trail in a world without you
With no hope and no regrets

And if you did not exist
I would try to invent love
Like a painter who sees under his fingers
The colors of the day being born
And never returns from there.

And if you did not exist
Tell me for whom I should exist
For those passing by, sleeping in my arms
Whom I would never love

And if you did not exist
I would be just another one
In this world which comes and goes
I would feel lost
I would need you

And if you did not exist
Tell me how I would exist
I could pretend to be myself
But I would not be real

And if you did not exist
I think I would have found it
The secret of life, the reason
Only to create you
And to look at you

prayers

O God, I ask you to take me into you care and protection along with all those who go down to the sea in ships.

Make me alert and wise in my duties. Make me faithful in the time of routine, and prompt to decide and courageous to act in my time of crisis.

Protect me in the dangers and perils of the sea, and even in the storm grant that there maybe peace and calm within my heart.

When I am far from home and far from loved ones and far from my country, help to be quite sure that, wherever I am, I can never drift beyond your love and care.

Take care, of my loved ones in the days and weeks and months when I am separated from them. Keep me true to them and keep them true to me, and everytime that we have part, bring us together in safety and loyalty again. Amen.

definition of a seaman

Between the innocence of infancy and
The recklessness of adultery comes that unique
Specimen of humanity known as a seaman

Seamen can be found in bars, in arguments
In bed, in debt and intoxicated.
They are tall, short, fat, thin, dark, fair but never normal.
They dislike ships food, chief engineers, writing letters
Sailing on Saturdays and dry ships.

They like receiving mail, paying off day, nude pin ups,
Sympathy, complaining and beer.
A seamans secret ambition is to change positions
With the owner for just one trip, to own a brewery
And to be loved by everyone in the world.

A seaman is a Sir Galahad in a Japenese brothel,
A pyschiatrist with Readers Digest on the table,
Don Quixote with a discharge book,
The saviour of mankind with his back teeth awash,
Valentino with a fiver in his back pocket and
Democracy personified in a red Chinese prison cell.

No one is subject to so much abuse, wrongly accused,
So often misunderstood by so many as a seaman.
He has the patience of Job, the honesty of a fool,
And the heaven sent ability to laugh at himself.
When he returns home from a long voyage

No one else but a seaman can create such an atmosphere
Of suspense and longing as he walks through the door
With the magic words on his lips,
HAVE YOU GOT THE ALE IN THEN !! :D

an honest sailor's loveletter

i know what u have heard about us..

"why choose a navy as ur bf? theyre promiscuous"
Disloyal, malcontent, kaki belit. one port one wife and a lying prick.
i've heard it all

and i cant say ure wrong for i've been there

and i dont intend to defend those pricks wit this post
kaki pempuan mana2 pun ada..be it among seamen, buruh binaan, penggali kubur whatsoever

i am here to defend those who are honest in their relationship and fell victim to this stereotypical statement.

it hurts to see sum of my fellows breaking down after a failed relationship..some of them who had held on long enuff (worse case i've seen is 7 yrs)..only to see their effort for love destroyed, ditched by the shipside..hancur berkecai koyak rabak..all for nothing..

and we all know how dissapointment breeds malevolence
after countless of hopeless..lonely nights..they seek revenge

and there goes ur promiscuous navy guy..u put the label on his head without any peruse

when no one knows how much pain n suffering he's been thru
no one knows how much it costs n bleeds his soul
no one knows how much it has fleshed him alive

i'm sorry..but u guys talk too much but spoke of nothing

So hear me out now..wives and girlfriends of sailors..if u happen to be still in a relationship..

for i am speaking on behalf of a sailor who is in love with a girl

baby..,

fate can be so cruel..
for it made me found u..
at times when i'm required elsewhere..

u may not see how much it hurts
having to leave you all by yourself
knowing that u went through challenges in life
without me by your side
without me to hold you in my arms
without me to catch your tears

believe me baby..i rather be in hell than to suffer such pain

but a man has to do his job
in life there is a point where there are no turning back
and it so happened that i'm required to serve where no one else would go

baby,

being at sea, i've seen most of the beauty that the world can offer
the joy of a thousand sunrise
the calmness of countless sunsets
the pure fluffy cloud in mid-day
the starry nights where the sky is untainted
the ocean that looked like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue plain

but what made me still longs for u?
in a fair wind and following seas i wish you were here
in rough seas and bad weather i still pray for your safety on land
when the wind howls and i can't see through the fog
my heart beats your name and somehow the fear is gone

you wanna know why?

was it because i love you?
baby thats an understatement

because ever since the sail is hoisted and my ship got underway
you are sealed shut in my heart..giving me the hope to live on
and my only hope of survival..until i can come back to you once again.

so please bear with me baby
even the distance between us makes it so hard to say
it hurts but it might be the only way

the day will come when we can cherish every moment together
it is a promise i'm willing to die to keep
for the time being i shall build my life around you nonetheless
even if it is filled with pain and agony

not because for it is worth the while

because i simply cant breathe without you

- your sailor husband/bf


i dont know if this will make a difference..but at least i'm trying

A Seaman’s version of the Twenty-third Psalm

The Lord is my Pilot, I shall not drift;
He lighteth me across the dark waters;
He steereth me in steep channels,
He keepeth my log book,
He guideth me by the Star of Holiness.
For His Name’s sake.
Yea, though I sail ‘mid the thunders and tempests of life,
I will dread no danger, for Thou art with me,
Thy love and Thy care, they shelter me.
Thou preparest a harbour before me in the homeland of eternity.
Thou anointed the waves with oil - my ship rideth calmly.
Surely sunlight and starlight shall favour me on the journey I take,
And I will rest in the port of my God for ever.

i find tht it is only appropriate for me to start wit a seaman's prayer
even wit my love-hate relationship to the seas
i proudly call myself a sailor

hi..ppl call me ding

n i think u're beautiful ;p
