    Roc (mythology)

    Roc (from Persian رخ Rokh or Rukh) is an enormous legendary bird of prey.

    Etymology

    According to the Oxford English Dictionary, this word perhaps influenced the word rook, though the chess piece term mainly stems from the Persian رخ rukh or Sanskrit रत rath, both meaning chariot (thus corresponding to the Asian chess variants).

    Eastern origins

    Rudolph Wittkower

    The roc had its origins, according to Rudolph Wittkower, in the fight between the Indian solar bird Garuda and the chthonic serpent Nāga. The mytheme of Garuda carrying off an elephant that was battling a crocodile appears in two Sanskrit epics, the Mahabharata (I.1353) and the Ramayana (III.39).

    Literary tradition

    Geography

    The roc appears in Arabic geographies and natural history, popularized in Arabian fairy tales and sailors' folklore. Ibn Battuta (iv. 305ff) tells of a mountain hovering in the air over the China Seas, which was the roc.

    One Thousand and One Nights

    The One Thousand and One Nights tales of Abd al-Rahman and Sinbad the Sailor were widespread in the East.

    Duele Amarte

    by: Reik

    Me duele amarte,
    sabiendo que ya te perdi
    solo quedara la lluvia
    mojando mi llanto
    y me hablara de ti.
    Me duele amarte,
    los sueños que eran para ti,
    se pierden con cada palabra
    con cada momento que
    espere vivir.
    Me duele más
    imaginar que tu te vas
    y dejarás detrás de ti
    tu ausencia en mis brazos.
    Me duele tanto sospechar
    que ni tu sombra volverá
    para abrigar mi alma en pedazos.
    Chorus:
    Me duele amarte así
    hasta morir lanzándome a la nada
    viendote partir.
    Me duele aquel abril
    cuando te vi por
    ves primera y dije que
    eras para mi,
    Me duele amarte tanto.
    ohhh ummm
    Me duele amarte,
    los sueños que eran para ti
    se pierden con cada palabra
    con cada momento que
    espere vivir.
    Me duele más
    imaginar que tu te vas
    y dejarás detrás de ti
    tu ausencia en mis brazos.
    Me duele tanto sospechar
    que ni tu sombra volvera
    para abrigar mi alma en pedazos.
    Chorus:
    Me duele amarte así
    hasta morir lanzandome a la nada
    viendote partir.
    Me duele aquel abril
    cuando te vi por
    ves primera y dije que
    eras para mi,
    Me duele amarte tanto.
    ohhh ummm
