Patricia Kaas ~ D’Allemagne (Live 1990)

Extrait de “Carnets de scène”, enregistré au Zénith de Paris, mai 1990 ——– Auf wiedersehen Lili Marlène Reparlez-moi des roses de Gottingen Qui m’accompagnent dans l’autre Allemagne A l’heure où colombes et vautours s’éloignent… D’Allemagne où j’écoute la pluie en vacances D’Allemagne où j’entends le rock en silence D’Allemagne où j’ai des souvenirs d’en face Où j’ai des souvenirs d’enfance Leninplatz et Anatole France. D’Allemagne l’histoire passée est une injure D’Allemagne l’avenir est une aventure D’Allemagne je connais les sens interdits Je sais où dorment les fusils Je sais où s’arrête l’indulgence. Auf wiedersehen Lili Marlène Reparlez-moi des roses de Gottingen Qui m’accompagnent dans l’autre Allemagne A l’heure où colombes et vautours s’éloignent. De quel côté du mur la frontière vous rassure ? D’Allemagne j’ai des histoires d’amour sincère Je plane sur des musiques-d’appolinaire D’Allemagne le romantisme est plus violent Les violons jouent toujours plus lents Des valses viennoises ordinaires Auf wiedersehen Lili Marlène Reparlez-moi des roses de Gottingen Qui m’accompagnent dans l’autre Allemagne A l’heure où colombes et vautours s’éloignent. De quel côté du mur la frontière vous rassure ? Ich habe eine kleine Wildblume Eine Flamme die zwischen den Wolken blüht D’Allemagne j’ai une petite fleur dans le coeur Qui est comme l’idée du bonheur Et qui va grandir comme un arbre. Auf wiedersehen Lili Marlène… —————————————- (C) Sony

fietsnavigatie met gps – deel 1

Uitleg over fietsnavigatie. Mede naar aanleiding van de test in de ANWB Kampioen van april 2011. Iedereen kent inmiddels wel de navigatie in de auto. Op de fiets is dat toch wat minder zinvol; je kent immers de omgeving waar je fietst voldoende om alles zonder GPS te vinden. Hoewel??? Uitzonderdering is natuurlijk de toeristische fietser. Zou toch mooi zijn als zo’n apparaat je kan helpen in onbekende omgeving de mooiste wegen en paden te vinden. En dat kàn inderdaad. Maar stelt wel eisen aan toestel, software en kaarten. Dit eerste deel (van twee) gaat in op de mogelijkheden die er zijn: welk kaartmateriaal is er, hoe maak je routes, en hoe kun je kant en klare routes downloaden van internet. Deel 2 gaat in op de toestellen.
