Gaga doing twitter Q&A NOW!

[John The Gypsy 0]

I missed it. :giveup:

But so much information came out of this. I think she saw that many fans were complaining from her last two non-descriptive interviews about "ARTPOP". :P

This title TEMPLE reminds me of some verses one of the most famous Romanian poets wrote.

It's from a poem called "Lines" and there are about 6 verses that go back and forth between the Poet and the Lover.

One of the Lovers' (a her) verses goes like this:

I am a temple, you are a god,

My love.

Very beautiful poem! Do you have an English translation of it and who's the poet?

[FeedTax 280]

YES @ unreleased songs like NOBTR being on the app :D

So much for the fan chosen second single :megaflop:

So much for the fan chosen second single :megaflop:

...she never said that :awkney:

[Red 97,978]

...she never said that

She did actually https://twitter.com/ladygaga/status/375073848774782976 :awkney:

[Mason 209]

She did actually https://twitter.com/ladygaga/status/375073848774782976

she's asking what WE would pick, if we were her. she never said that whatever one wins would be the next single

 

I think she just wanted our opinions

[Ambrosia 3,775]

It's too bad she was still in some discomfort during the VMA's.  Hope she doesn't overdo it and re-injure herself.

Very beautiful poem! Do you have an English translation of it and who's the poet?

He's our national poet, a High Romantic and my favorite, Mihai Eminescu

His magnum opus is called Luceafărul which translates to The Evening Star, but I found this beautiful English version in which it's translated as Lucifer (another name given to the evening star + this evening star is personified as a male imortal, so it fits)

Oh, and it's a looooong one

I didn't find an English version of Lines :(

Buuuut...I am going to translated for you and hope to capture the poems beauty at least a tiny bit

Lines

THE POET

You are a breeze, I, a horizon,

I am a shore, you are a sea,

­You are a night, I am a star,

My lover

THE LOVER

You are the day, I am the sun,

I am a butterfly, you are a flower,

I am a temple, you are a god,

My lover

You are a king, I am a queen,

I am a chaos, you, a sunbeam,

­I am a harp in the wind's hand,

You are a chant.

THE POET

You are the forehead, I am the stigma,

I am a genius, you, an enigma,

I search your eyes to guess what's true

And I love you !

THE LOVER

Am I a night, a mystery

Using a pale shadow as cover,

Do I sound like a subtle sublime song

To you, my poet lover ?

Oh, all that is mystique, beloved bard,

In this heart that burns, you see,

­There is nothing left belonging to me,

It is all for thee.

Thank you SO much for the information and translation of Lines!  I will have to read Lucifer in more detail--I read the first stanza and am impressed with the striking and vivid imagery!  And this is in English, it's even more beautiful in the original I bet, so no wonder he's your national poet!

Thank you, I am very proud of him

I geeked out for 20 minutes while working on Lines

and I think I might spend more time on it.

Either way, NEW MUSIC IN 2 months !
