Song of Downiness

I am down again,
since I read Osamu Dazai. 1
No matter who I talk to, they don’t care about the meaning of death.
 
The world is like crumbling,
we have no way to aid this.
I could only wish the wind would take me somewhere new to start again.
 
So I wish you can write a poem for me,
in memoir of the six dates we’ve had.
 
I cannot visualize
the fairytales I’ve read.
Sometimes growing up is but a prologue of a tragedy.
 
Things I’ve done
usually has no meaning.
Whoever get close to me wouldn’t be happy and I’m aware of that.
 
I just wish I could be an smiley angel,
then we would see each other ten times a day.
 
Wish I could be a elegant hymn,
then you would gladly read me ten times.
 

• 1. The writer’s most famous book is about death and losing the identity as a human.

I don't care where I hang out as long as it's not Kotka
It doesn't matter if it's the east or west, now at Malminkartano
I package the cassettes and and shirts
I get drunk, I drink booze
Because of the mask, whores want sex from me
From behind the mask, lassos fly into your hair
Finnish rap is clammy shit
I even feel second-hand embarrassement towards myself
Even the fans are stupid chickens, they suck my dick
Just kidding, I love you
Don't offer me marihuana
Don't offer cocaine
Give me money
I'm a poor and hungry alcoholist and at home I brew alcohol
Fuck swag, Takkinen is the Simo Silmu of Finnish rap
It sucks being sober, and I don't want to take some amphetamine
So I'll just be at the local bar I sit there everyday
Tomorrow I'll feel like crying
I'm using hand gestures like I was a fucking deaf-mute
Fuck Facebook likes, I don't care if someone doesn't approve
You can whine, yell at me with a red face
The compass point doesn't fucking matter, It's the same everywhere

The plan is to get drunk during the day
Red cases, empty fucking hash pills, bloody syringes, my man
Try to be sober yourself everyday in this goddamn scene
I conjugate words and these monkeys don't understand my message, tell me that I'll break one day
I go from the east to the west and south, I flee to the north, into the dephts of the forests
Somewhere hella far away where Fruity Loops and Qledi don't exist
Burn my notebooks filled with rhymes so I'd feel better
Get rid of my need to drink alcohol by drinking even stronger beverages and I crawl away
I throw up t every station, show a middle finger to the camera
The beers won't see the cashier instead they'll go under my fucking whores' dress
Fucking tactical, nobody knows Takkinen
That's the way it should be, even though I don't even want to wear this stupid mask
I'll throw it away and stop my rapper career
I don't care about wannabe gays, caps, cats or tags
The ugly or beautiful whores will never get close

Two Ravens

As I was walking all alone
I spied two ravens moaning out
One said to the other-o
Where shall we go and dine today-o?
Where shall we go and dine today-o?
 
Down behind that old wall of turf
I know that a new slain knight lies there
And no one knows that he lies there-o
But his hawk and his hound and his charming lady-o
But his hawk and his hound and his charming lady-o
 
His hound went hunting
His hawk to drop the wildfowl home
His Lady found herself another man-o
Thus we may have our dinner in a canter-o
Thus we may have our dinner in a canter-o
 
You'll land on his collarbone
And I'll scratch his fine blue eyes out
Along with a lock of his golden hair-o
We'll build our nest when it's in sight-o
We'll build our nest when it's in sight-o
 
There are many that wail for him
But no one shall know where he has gone
Or his white bones, when they're in sight-o
The wind shall blow forevermore-o
The wind shall blow forevermore-o
 
As I was walking all alone
I spied two ravens moaning out
One said to the other-o
Where shall we go and dine today-o?
Where shall we go and dine today-o?
 

Master of Reality

No antabus1, no Jesus
Could get you off from booze
Already comes to mind
Nothing else will help
Than drinking yourself into early grave
 
Oh no!
 
Until one morning you see a newspaper ad
Hypnotist offers his help
Phone rings long
Until you hear a voice
And that accent foreign
 
Master of reality
Master of reality
Phone was answered by
Master of reality
 
Hypnotism-magnetic gaze2
Flicker of moustache
Master has a cape
And mysterious appearance
 
Strange music
Creates otherworldly atmosphere
As he gathers his strength
To give his own
 
When i wake up from the stupor
Don't feel like drinking anymore
But before long i understand
Bottle was replaced with new master
 
Master of reality
Master of reality
From booze addiction you were saved by
Master of reality
 
Master of reality
Master master!
Master of reality
 
Master of reality
He is your new master
Master master!
He is master of reality
 

• 1. Drug used to treat alcoholism

Every Time a Breeze Blows

Versions: #1
Every time the wind blows,
And the songbird sings the secrets of its love,
Ecstasy envelops me, and love incapacitates me,
Like a moth that does not understand what's happened to it.
 
Forge my heart a dream,
From the light of dawn and the darkness of dusk,
Carry me away from the misery of the world,
As a breeze carries the scent of daffodils.
 
Has the time of love returned,
The time where roses smiles,
When we would steal chances to meet, and the night was beautiful,
With songs of the season..
 
When we came to see him, he appeared ill,
And changed to silken clothes.
His eyes lit up like magic,
As the morning sun illuminates a brilliant day.
 

Nothing More Or Less

You're always fighting for everything, for nothing
People who pretend you see them coming a long way off
They don't say a word, you already know too much
They'll speak behind your back
It's very complicated the simple truth
Because everything needs to change
 
Being well, well, nothing more or less
Being where you should when people need you
Being true, true, neither beautiful nor ugly
There aren't any other secrets
 
{Music}
 
They want whatever they see, the rest is for tomorrow
But that's dangerous, everyone is unhappy
Without really knowing why
We have no idea how the truth
Hides deep inside us
 
Being well, well, nothing more or less
Being where you should when people need you
Being true, true, neither beautiful nor ugly
One could sleep in peace
 
If you hear my prayers
Tell me what could we do
What could we do
 
{Music}
 
Ou ou {x2}
 
Being well, well, nothing more or less
Being where you should when people need you
Being true, true, neither beautiful nor ugly
There aren't any other secrets
 
Being well, well, well nothing more or less
Being where you should when people need you
Being true, true, neither beautiful nor ugly
One could sleep in peace
 

Wind in my hair

I spent my whole life dreaming about the unknown
Tangled up in hope i waited for a sign
How is my life getting better? How is the knot untangling?
How is everything going to open up the doors just for me?
When do i make a move?
 
But i've got wind in my hair and fire inside of me
Because something is starting now
Mystery and excitement are there
That beautiful breeze is here
I'm ready to follow it wherever
Let it carry me with wind in my hair
 
Roads i have not passed trough
New people who knows where
So much is waiting and everything is beautiful
Secrets i have to discover myself
Decisions right and wrong
So much unknown the life will reveal
What moves it
 
But i've got wind in my hair and fire inside of me
Because something is starting now
Mystery and excitement are there
That beautiful breeze is here
I'm ready to follow it wherever
Let it carry me with wind in my hair
 

Oh Moon, You and I

Oh moon, you and I are friends since we were kids
 
we loved our moon and lived together, oh
 
and oh how much we colored our skies
 
And we planted our love, oh
 
my eyes thought about love, and the sweet one is waiting for us
 
our arcs laughed with flowers on both sides
 
talking is just talking and love stories are told when we think about them
 
we thought about love at home, they told us to be careful
 
tomorrow, the world will become aware of secrets that aren't secrets
 
many stories are told, a dream that came to minds
 

Wind in My Hair

It feels like I have waited my entire life, for dreams that've lived their own lives
Struggled with knots until it's become time to run
What if I've now found drifts? What if I've gotten a completely new deal?
What if one day I can fly toward my 'yes', toward an open sky
Toward a world so new?
 
For the wind I have in my hair ,and my gaze has lifted
Toward countless stars
The smile spreads wide and I tiptoe around
Something big will happen, it will happen as soon as I go
Out as far as I reach and with wind in my hair
 
So many thirsts that I want to quench, so many friends to encounter
So many adventures, I wonder what they are
Many mysteries await me, mistakes that need to be tried
Lots to see, that I barely keep up with, and it starts here
Without end, I swear
 
For the wind I have in my hair, and my heart
It sings about songs that glow
My chin I raise high and with pride I stand
Something big will happen, it will happen as soon as I go
Out as far as I reach and with wind in my hair
 

Wind in My Hair (Reprise)

Fairy tales always have
Happy ever afters, don’t they?
Even if those so dear to me are by my side
Seems like I’m now in the tower
 
With the wind in my hair, I’ll let my feelings burn
There’s no stopping me anymore
I have to find every answer
Refreshing wind
Take me right away
Blow through my hair
 

The wind in my hair

My hope that I'll live happy forever goes out the window
Locked up once again, looking afar
I must confess, those who are dear to me surround me with so much love
For some people I guess it's already a lot
 
But I have the wind in my hair and a flame in my heart
History becomes favorable to me
A mistery to uncover, being starry-eyed
I could go anywhere, for the blast of the air is wonderful
I'll go far away, that's my vow, the wind in my hair
 

Alone

All the songs are about you -
Which means they come from the soul!
You're my bright light
In black backwoods.
After your 'Hi'
Goosebumps are all over my body.
I will kiss you
Even if you don't allow me.

Who are we without each other? Tell me, looking in my eyes.
And all your friends hate me,
Yes, I can be rude, that's just how I am.
But you chose me, I mean you've chosen me!
 
You say I don't know how to love,
Let's have a bet that what's we got is love.
You're my Jolie, and I'm your agent Smith..
And even if sometimes we hate it, still you're mine, and I am yours.

I know you can hear me.
 
The curls of your hair are like waterfall,
With your black eyes you're dancing waltz with me.
And all I want is be drowning with you
Here and now, here and now
 
You say I don't know how to love,
Let's have a bet, that what's between us is love.
You're my Jolie, and I'm your agent Smith..

Everything And Even More

Ooohh
Silent whispers
Starry Night
Unexpectedly come closer to me
An unbegun dream hovers in the air
Everything around is ringing so loudly
However I'm not lacking words
My gaze will translate everything for you
 
We danced danced
Every song was ours
Danced danced
Every dance was the only one
So unfair night
Everything is started insanely
We danced danced
 
Promise to be always and longer to me
Promise to be the never ending story to me
Promise to be always and longer to me
I wish everything and even more
Everything everything and even more
I wish everything and even more
Everything everything and even more
 
In your shirt, in warmth
I woke up in the unbelievably
unexpected dawn
Your breath in silence
In hair caught scent
Memories doesn't go away so easily.
 
We danced danced
Every song was ours
Danced danced
Every dance was the only one
So unfair night
Everything started insanely
We danced danced
 
Promise to be always and longer to me
Promise to be the never ending story to me
Promise to be always and longer to me
I wish everything and even more
Everything everything and even more
I wish everything and even more
Everything everything and even more
 
(I wish everything and even more)
(Everything, everything and more...)
(Danced danced)
(Danced danced)
Danced
 
Promise to be always and longer to me

Promise to be always and longer to me
I wish everything and even more
Everything everything and even more

Prošlo je vreme

Prošlo je vreme, prošlo je vreme
kada je vreme bilo lepo
i kada je izvor rane zore
pojio svu zemlju.
 
Došle su noći i kiše
i duše su prezimile,
a u dubokoj tami
grejalo se je dete.
 
Suza se sada valja po zemlji,
a tamo negde iza severa
brod se i dalje pita
gde će naći kopno.
 

Običan

Ja sam jedan prilično običan tip
Ponekad mi se ništa više i ne radi
Pušio bih travu, pio bih pivo
Pisao bih muziku sa Velikim Pjerom
Ali moram voditi računa o karijeri
Ja sam popularni pevač
 
Vi biste hteli da budem bog
Kad biste znali koliko se osećam staro
Ne mogu više ni da spavam, previše sam nervozan
Kad pevam, malo je bolje
Ali ovaj posao je opasan
Što više daješ, više ti traže
 
Kad mi istekne vreme i završim na ulici
Neće više biti moje velike publike
Tad ću biti potpuno ogoljen
Kada ja ne budem više mogao
Biće drugih, mlađih, luđih
Da animiraju Bugalue
 
Volim moje kolege, volim moju publiku
Sve što želim je da štima
Prilično me zabole za kritike
To su gubitnici s kojima se treba saosećati
Ja nisam psihodelični klovn
Moj pravi život, to je muzika
 
Ako pevam, to je da bi me čuli
Ako vičem, to je da se odbranim
Želeo bih vrlo da me razumeju
Hteo bih da proputujem svet
Pre nego što umrem i nego što me sahrane
Da vidim kako izgleda ostatak sveta
 
Oko mene je rat
Strah, glad i jad
Želeo bih da svi budemo braća
To je razlog zbog kog smo na Zemlji
Ja nisam popularni pevač
Ja sam samo jedan prilično običan tip
 

On the air

I didn't call to ask for a song,
But to talk to her I have no other option
Because she most likely
Is listening and me in front
 
I don't even dare to start this conversation
I, in love and she has noticed it
Fifteen minutes of fame for one by her side
I want her to know that I fell in love
That she is listening to me
 
And on the radio my kisses on the air (on the air) come to her
I want that before another song plays or she changes the station
She hears on the radio my kisses on the air (on the air)
Oh Oh – Oh Oh
Oh Oh – Oh Oh
Oh Oh – Oh Ohhh
 
If I met her thanks to a friend
And because of fate I never saw her again
That this voice of love
I remember her from somewhere
 
And if she hears it on the radio she remembers me
I, in love
And she has noticed it
Fifteen minutes of fame for one by her side
I want her to know that I fell in love
That she is listening to me
 
And on the radio my kisses on the air (on the air) come to her
I want that before another song plays or she changes the station
She hears on the radio my kisses on the air
And if she can't hear me I'll call tomorrow
 
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
 
I want her
To know that I fell in love
 
That she is listening to me
And on the radio my kisses on the air come to her
I want that before another song plays or she changes the station
She hears on the radio my kisses on the air
Oh Oh – Oh Oh
Oh Oh – Oh Oh
 
That she hears on the radio my kisses on the air
 

Buenos Aires isn't to blame

What are you doing in New York?
Freezing up your fingers
Rushing around that city
Filled with foreigners
I know, Central Park's very pretty
And the clubs around Village are on fire
But after all that, who are you going to fool
There's not one dog who'll bark at you
Buenos Aires isn't to blame
Don't tell me you ran away out of resentment
That pain, idiotically guaranteed
It's the lock that won't let you be happy
Buenos Aires isn't to blame
Your heart won't ever ask for distance
That song, and this passionate tango
Will be soldiers who'll give their blood until the end
It's better if you just make some money and I'll leave
Live the Broadway life, gather some money
Get well soon, please
And don't get lost away from the neighbourhood
Buenos Aires isn't to blame
Don't tell me you ran away out of resentment
That pain, idiotically guaranteed
It's the lock that won't let you be happy
Buenos Aires isn't to blame
Your heart won't ever ask for distance
That song, and this stunned tango
Will be soldiers who'll give their blood until the end
Maybe in search of something better
You've neglected your own space
Be a hero, walking under the sun
And the world will come to your hands
Buenos Aires isn't to blame
Buenos Aires isn't to blame
Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires' port
Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires' street
Buenos Aires isn't to blame
 

So That I Can Be the Reliable Me

That was a smile, and there again that was a frown
I remember all of them if I don’t close my eyes

We'll love each other

We'll love each other, we'll touch the sky
Break apart, our wings will burn up
Come back again, like the swallows
We'll love each other, you're so good-looking
We'll throw away the keys to the house
We'll dream of other seasons
We'll leave behind these prison walls
 
We'll love each other
On a star, or on a pillow
In the back of a train, or in an old attic
I want to discover your face where love is born
 
We'll love each other
In an airplane, on the deck of a boat
We'll love each other, until we burn our skin
Until we fly away, higher and higher and higher
Where love is beautiful oh oh oh oh oh
 
We'll love each other, on the steps of a church
Warm ourselves in the middle of the ice pack
Whisper to each other all the crazy things
We'll love each other, I love it when you say
We'll take off to the edge of an island
To discover its fragile nature
To discover ourselves, still in love
 
We'll love each other
On a star, or on a pillow
In the back of a train, or in an old attic
I want to discover your face where love is born
 
We'll love each other
In an airplane, on the deck of a boat
We'll love each other, until we burn our skin
Until we fly away, higher and higher and higher
Where love is beautiful
 
We'll love each other
On a star, or on a pillow
In the back of a train, or in an old attic
I want to discover your face where love is born
 
We'll love each other
In an airplane, on the deck of a boat
We'll love each other, until we burn our skin
Until we fly away, higher and higher and higher
Where love is beautiful
 
We'll love each other
On a star, or on a pillow
In the back of a train, or in an old attic
I want to discover your face where love is born
 
We'll love each other
In an airplane, on the deck of a boat
We'll love each other, until we burn our skin
Until we fly away, higher and higher and higher
Where love is beautiful
 
We'll love each other
 

Heavenly Salon

Every time I open my textbook, one thing I’m worried about
I play with my bangs again and again as they’ve grown a little bit
 
By the way, you know, when did you last cut my hair?
Remember you didn’t even listen if I told you that’s fine?
 
Stay still, you say like I’m a child
You’d always do the same, but maybe we’ve grown each other
 
It’s diagonal, it’s too short, but there goes my usual haircut
You laugh, I get mad, and in no time we’ll laugh again and again
I don’t like it? Sure, I like it Maybe it’s part of my thing
You dust the hair off my cheeks and say “Hey, you’re done”
 
Under the lunch break sky, because the weather is good
“Open the heavenly salon for me”, I text you
 
I’ll give you something in return, a nice haircut for you
I’ll make you look much cuter than usual
 
Even when we’re grown-ups, isn’t that nice every now and then?
Let’s make it together to the future beyond our matching bangs
 
Scissors in my ears sound like the tick-tacks of the clock
Time spent together will become another memory
I’m supposed to know you more, even more than anyone else
I’ve always watched over you as you tried your hardest
 
Scissors in my ears sound like the tick-tacks of the clock
Since we were young, even when we’re all old ladies
Near, far, wherever we are, the same glittering we have
Let’s arrange it in a row, yours and mine, next to each other
 
It’s diagonal, it’s too short, but there goes my usual haircut
You laugh, I get mad, and in no time we’ll laugh again and again
I don’t like it? Sure, I like it, because I love the way it is
You dust the hair off my cheeks and say “Hey, you’re done”
Ordinary life is something of a luxury
 

The Son of Superman

Like his father
Little Jean-Pierre
Was a fan
A fan of Superman
He collected all the comic strips
So he could see his hero fly like a bird
 
Jean-Pierre should have been eight years old yesterday
And his parents were so proud
They decided to take
For his birthday
A quick trip to New York
Superman's home
 
From their hotel room
On the fiftieth floor of the Waldorf
The view was so gorgeous
That their first night
They spent watching
The lights of Manhattan
 
The next day they walked down Broadway
Hand in hand
As in a wonderland
And inside a store
Where they sell a little of this and that
Jean-Pierre's father bought for him
A Superman costume
 
From that night on
He wanted to wear it
Like pyjamas so he could sleep better
But when his parents
Fell asleep
Next to him in the big bed
He got up without a sound
 
He opened the window
And when he suddenly saw before him
The lights of Manhattan
He wanted to fly
Into the starry night
Like a bird on the wing
 
It was just yesterday
That they laid to rest Jean-Pierre
The son of Superman
 

Love Is In The Air

They dance and dance
Knowing full well that their bodies
Will love each other before the dawn
And their impatient hands
Ease the long wait
Me, under the loudspeakers
Sitting for a thousand hours
I see them and I cry
Will I be the only one here
Who tenderness shall forget?
 
Love is all around me
What sins have I committed
That make my heart sad
That make my life so dry
 
Love is in the air, tonight
Love is in the air, and I'm so blue
Give me a chance
Look at me a little
I will rescue you
I'll grant a wish
I will give myself completely
When love is in the air
 
If she would just tell me how
And I swear to you that the star
It will be me, tonight
It's easy to be pretty
When you're pressed close to him
From deep inside my retreat
I see them taking flight
Never touching the ground
It's everything I've ever dreamed
 
Love is in the air, tonight
Love is in the air, and I'm so blue
Give me a chance
Look at me a little
I will rescue you
I'll grant a wish
I will give myself completely
When love is in the air
 

Blue airmail

A blue airmail fell on the postbox
In a hurry I take it out without letting it soak in the rain
Pressing the umbrella against my cheek, I can't wait to open it
And I can't walk of how painful is your quirky writing
 
I wonder if even these news
That sometimes reach will stop coming
But I still like you
I don't give up to the passing of time
 
Winter will come earlier to your town
Are you wearing the coat of when we met the last time?
If I visited you 5, no, 8 years ago
I want you to shine so much that I can't call you
 
If I lose you for not choosing you
Sad affections will pierce my chest
But I still like you
I don't give up to the passing of time
But I still like you
I don't give up to the passing of time
 

Out of Thin Air

You are everything my heart needs right now
When you give me your hand, together we feel the new moon
Now give me a smile and the light of the stars will shine through the day
You’re really here, you’re not a fantasy and a dream
 
Forget everything, because the heart can deceive you
And look at me, I’m not the one you need by your side
You know your dad, he’s always with you
I’m still wandering on my own
and you can’t know if I’m not a fantasy and a dream
 
I’m still searching for who I am
You have to find out
Figure out where I come from
But return to me, my love
Let everything wait
For the wedding,
because we can wait
Just another day
Your dad, doesn’t he, doesn’t want to miss that wedding
When we wait a long time for it
And we’re happy
Because the day will come, everything will work out
Your dad is going to be joyful
Brighten his son’s day
Then you’ll stop being just a fantasy and a dream
 

Отупео

Био сам ошамућен,
чини ми се као да данима чекам
да овај сан прође.
Све иде тако брзо,
изгледа да ништа не траје,
мислим да сам нешто изгубио.
 
Заглављен овде са овим људима, потпуно будан,
осећам гњечење тела у истом простору.
Осећам твој топли дах на мом језику,
питам се где си отишла.
 
У вечном окретању круга
људи, места, лажи, осећам
немирни ритам непроспаване ноћи која долази.
Само желим да сам отупео,
само желим да сам отупео.
 
Без наде, три године као да пушим гудру,
идем од места до места,
тек тако, без циља, полубудан,
као да сâм падам у неку бесконачну пукотину.
 
Не знам где сам,
не знам шта сам урадио,
само идем поново и поново, опет и опет,
не могу да спавам ноћу,
не могу да дишем,
али ако будем пио вечерас, нећу мислити на тебе.
 
У вечно присутној јами,
осећам се као да се окрећем на неком точку
са лицима и сценама које видим.
И ништа од тога ми се не чини стварним,
осим мутне измаглице јутра које тек долази.
 
Само желим да сам отупео...

In Flight (Receive Off) (Airplane Mode)

You don't change before 2:11 AM
It turns out like this, love changes
You don't change before 2:11 AM
I'm going to get off the plane
 
You didn't have much
It's boring, the same, and obvious
I floated up to the sky
Your destination is always indifferent
 
You still don't change at 3:15 in the morning
It became like this again to my pilot, we just broken
You still don't change at 3:15 in the morning
On an unstable plane
Now I'm going to stop
I don't wanna fly with you no more
 
I want to get out of it, talk about it zip up
We're so light like a whistle
I was tired of your misunderstandings
The flight that has now turned into wandering
 
This is flight 1129
The flight feeling that started
It's like cloud 9 date of the day
With young and soft words
Take me fly too high
Then it became increasingly grave
Suddenly, I'm heading for five o'clock in the morning
Our parallax that was only frustrating
This is flight 1129
addicted to your answer
I can't stand
 
You still don't change at 3:15 in the morning
It became like this again to my pilot, we just broken
You still don't change at 3:15 in the morning
On an unstable plane
Now I'm going to stop
 
I feel together but alone
It's flying, but it seems to be trapped
Do you know if you feel alone?
Can I sleep this night?
I feel together but alone
It's flying, but it seems to be trapped
Do you know if you feel alone?
Can I sleep this night?
 
Even when the dawn is over, we're on the plane
I knew it would be like this to my pilot, we just broken
Even when the dawn is over, our flight still remains
On an unstable plane
Now I'm getting off
 
You and my flight are no more
 

BUENOS AIRES

Cold weather in the city starts bugging me
Can't stop turning that alarm clock off
Tired of waiting, smoking alone on the balcony
Picturing somebody comes to rescue me
 
I know that deep feeling of isolation
But who are we waiting for?
Tacky sadness on TV
What we pray for, where does it go?
Tonight I became a wild animal
I could be a longed-for freedom trainee, mmm...
It's sunday, I don't wanna get up
Doorbell rings and outside it's raining
 
Cold weather in the city starts bugging me (It starts bugging me)
Can't stop turning that alarm clock off (Pa-ra-pa-pa)
Tired of waiting, smoking alone on the balcony
Picturing somebody comes to rescue me
 
Turned the telephone off, out of the blue
Why am I gonna say sorry?
In the end we all want to escape
I hear somebody's calling me outside and I don't know what to do
 
Cold weather in the city starts bugging me (It starts bugging me)
Can't stop turning that alarm clock off (Pa-ra-pa-pa)
Tired of waiting, smoking alone on the balcony
Picturing somebody comes to rescue me
 
What's happening outside?
I got used to that noise of the sidewalk
Rewinding and pausing everything down there
But at 3 AM
When it rains, everyone looks into each other's eyes.
 
Pa-ra-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-ra-pa-ra-pa-ra
Pa-ra-pa-ra, pa-pa-ra-pa-pa-ra
Pa-ra-pa-ra-pa, yeah, oh-oh-oh!
Pa-pa-pa
 

Water Spring

Spending salary for myself
Buying one ticket of the newest movie
Ordering just one portion
Singing Kunto Aji(*) among all the youths
 
All your rise and fall, is normal
Dreams and questions, time will answer
Give it a deadline, be sad sufficiently
Celebrate your feelings as a human
 
If you ever got hurt, raise your hand
If you ever hurt, raise your hand
If you ever feel happy, raise your hand
If you ever feel disappointed, raise your hand
 
If you ever got hurt, raise your hand
If you ever hurt, raise your hand
If you ever feel happy, raise your hand
If you ever feel disappointed, raise your hand
 
Live is not for getting ahead
The shadow that the sun creates
Sometimes the sun means good
For you to love yourself today
 
If you ever got hurt, raise your hand
If you ever hurt, raise your hand
If you ever feel happy, raise your hand
If you ever feel disappointed, raise your hand
 
If you ever got hurt, raise your hand
If you ever hurt, raise your hand
If you ever feel happy, raise your hand
If you ever feel disappointed, raise your hand
 
Your water spring(**) is here
Your water spring is yourself
Find your own meaning of life
Dance with your own shadows
 
Your water spring is here
Your water spring is yourself
Find your own meaning of life
Dance with your own shadows
 
Your water spring is here
Your water spring is yourself
Find your own meaning of life
Dance with your own shadows

Your water spring is yourself
Find your own meaning of life
Dance with your own shadows
 

Boundless Lighting

I'm holding this golden and mauve cloud on the tip of a piece of rush.
The parasol or the she-bird or the flower
The shock of haïr
Gets down from the ashes of the discolouring Sun.
The day is ruby-throated like a pigeon.
Quick, a mirror. Am I partaking to this mirage ?
If the parasol turns the ground to a Paradise,
Let's play
Angel
Warbler
Passerine
But they, that could defeat hail or storm,
My wings, will forget arms and work.
Lighter than the silver of the air where I cuddle
I run razing the nets and Escape from the dream.
 
Nature yields and defers and knows what I am worth.
 

The Shootout

I drank some mates1 as I stood in the kitchen,
I saw how the sun sprung itself on the world.
I looked at the time, it was a quarter 'til seven,
I already felt tired of waiting.
I started putting on my shirt and jeans,
I put the revolver in the shaft of my boot.
I lit a candle at the feet of San Antonio,
The patron saint of outlaws.
 
I flew on my motorcycle to the La Cucaracha bar
Where in silence, the boys were waiting for me.
Fernet with cola2 and whiskey with cigarettes,
Death smelled of tobacco and coffee.
The hit was more or less well planned,
More than two months finishing up the details.
Two of us robbing the cashiers
And me on the street in a rental car.
 
But you already know how these things happen,
There are always details left out of the script,
Some employee who leans on an alarm,
Some trigger that's in a hurry to respond.
The first shot hit me in my left hand,
I took the revolver from my boot and opened fire.
The police demanded that I give up:
'You're surrounded, there is no way to escape'.
 
'It's been ten years,' I replied, 'that I've been surrounded.'
Ten long years that I have not found even one job.
What good is it for me to be alive if I am dead,
I don't even need to wear a mask.
If they heard me, they paid me no mind
In an instant the shooting began.
I ended up flopping3on the sidewalk
After having emptied my magazine.
 
I think about this while I feel that my life
Is going to the side of death,
I have the revolver unloaded, and in my chest,
A very difficult hole to fill.
My face resting on the asphalt,
My hands cold, and even my breath hurts.
I know that it's daytime, but I feel like it's night,
I'll ask San Antonio about that.
 
I don't have anybody and I don't leave many things,
Just a motorcycle at the La Cucaracha bar,
Tell them everything and undo the padlock
She already knows where she's going to wait for me.

FLESH

8:27 a.m.
The blue sky almost makes the hospital pretty
Almost
You're 17, almost 17 and a half
You have your heart in your boots
You cross the courtyard
You hope to run into no one
And that it doesn't last long
A pill and it's over
Shame will pass
You're like the pierced child that the future will fill, but it's too early for that.
 
'Barbara, are you sure?'
They explain life to you
All around it's getting restless
And then, there's this sentence that they throw in your face:
'But you're just a whore!
That's what happens, well yeah!
You're not protected and you might be sterile, you should have thought about it'.
Of course you thought about it...
8:50 a.m., you come out of that room collapsed and full of guilt.
 
MY FLESH,
MY BODY,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY BODY,
MY FLESH,
MY BODY,
MY FLESH,
MY BODY,
MY BODY,
MY BODY...
 
You're 20
Isn't being 20 years beautiful?
But you don't really know
No confidence at all
You drink too much to feel a little bit less
You blaze up, you act as if nothing had happened.
But deep down, you see yourself as they look at you.
Without value,
Without future
Without softness,
Without pleasure
And you believe that sex is linked to violence
You think the most important thing is to save face
If you play well, it's all right
When you play well, everything passes
You flee forward so as not to listen to yourself,
Not understanding you, not even respecting you
You cut your hair short
You tattoo yourself of bullshit
Small defeats
Parties that degenerate
And tears in the dawn
What can you do about it?
 
MY BODY,
MY FLESH,
MY BODY,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY BODY,
MY FLESH,
MY BODY,
MY FLESH,
MY BODY,
MY BODY,
MY BODY...
 
You're 26
The blue sky almost makes the boulevard pretty
Almost
You're 26, almost 26 and a half.
Now you feel ready
You can hear yourself resonate
And then abandon you
Now you listen to yourself
You know you have the right to let yourself go.
And to say to you: 'I love you.'
'I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.'
To give your skin lots of other memories
Love, respect, kisses, desire,
To give your skin lots of other memories
Love, respect, kisses, desire.
 
Without knowing it, I was moving forward
I was moving towards my beloved flesh.
Without knowing it, you will move forward
You'll move towards your flesh, my darling.
Now that we know, we move forward
Let's move towards our beloved flesh
Let's move towards our healed flesh
Let's move towards our flesh.
 
Without knowing it, I was moving forward
I was moving towards my beloved flesh.
Without knowing it, you will move forward
You'll move towards this flesh, my darling.
Now that we know, we move forward
Let's move towards our beloved flesh
Let's move towards our healed flesh
Let's move towards our flesh.
 
MY BODY,
MY FLESH,
MY BODY,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY BODY,
MY FLESH,
MY BODY,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH.
