I'm Not the Air

We wear ourselves out
Like bars of soap
Between our hands
We never give our best
Yet we grow tired
From giving love in dribs and drabs
Love, of all things! 1
I won't hold back now
Listen carefully, please
I am tired
It's not a choice to let off steam
I've already thought about it
Nobody's ever died from a goodbye's
Being cold
I am not the air
You will live on after I leave
And you'll find yourself breathing like before
I am not the air, I am not the air
I am not the air
Realize that I'm not essential
To try to get me back
Gets in the way
It's too late
For me to stay
I'm not the air...
I won't hold back now,
Listen carefully, please
I am tired
It's not a choice to let off steam
I've thought about it already
Nobody's ever died from a goodbye's
Being cold
I'm not the air
You will live on after I leave
And you'll see you're still breathing like before
I'm not the air, I'm not the air
I'm not the air
Realize that I'm not essential
To try to get me back
Gets in the way
It's too late now
For me to stay
I'm not the air
I'm not the air
Realize that I'm not essential
To try to get me back
Gets in the way
It's too late now
For me to stay
I'm not the air
I'm not the air

One Summer

One summer
love disappeared
the wind froze
(like a) rose that wilted
and our joy faded
suddenly in the night,
in the darkness.
A star vanished in the distance
before the break of dawn
 
One summer
(it) passed, it didn't stay
The white dove
disappeared in the storm
My joy was lost
my dreams extinguished
and to my heart arrived
frost
 

Love is like the sun

This love shines like a star,
a safe point on the sky.
 
This love is like the sun,
warm shining on all paths.
 
But all the words towards you,
the wind blow away from me.
 
How did we come to this?
Is everything that was lost?
 
Is there not now little hoppe,
the sun send away the cold shadow.
 
Let now all dykes flow over,
I just want to be with you.
Step b step go forward,
and reach happines.
 
And reach happines
And reach happines
 
This love is like the sun
 

Praises of My Francisca

Upon new chords of you I sing.
And the new-born bud you bring
From solitude, the pure heart's Spring.
 
Your brows should be with garlands twined
Woman of delightful mind,
Who our trespasses unbind.
 
As the wondrous balm of Lethe,
Through thy kisses, I will breathe thee.
All are magnetised who see thee.
 
When my vices, wild and stormy,
From my wonted courses bore me
It was You appeared before me,
 
Star of Oceans! you that alter
Courses, when the pilots falter —
Take my heart upon your altar.
 
Cistern full of virtuous ruth,
Fountain of eternal youth,
Give to dumbness speech and truth!
 
What was dirty, you cremated,
What uneven — you equated,
What was weak you re-created.
 
Inn, on the hungry roads I tramp,
And, in the dark, a guiding lamp
To steer the lost one back to camp.
 
To my strength add strength, O sweet
Bath, where scents and unguents meet!
Anoint me for some peerless feat!
 
Holy water most seraphic,
On the lusts in which I traffic
Flash your chastity ecstatic.
 
Bowl of gems where radiance dances.
Salt that the holy bread enhances,
And sacred wine — your name is Frances!
 

The farewell

I picked this twig of heather.
You shall remember fall is gone.
We won't meet again on this earth
Smell of seasons1, twig of heather,
and remember I shall await.
 

• 1. 'temps' can both mean 'weather' and 'time', 'season' is the best middle ground I could find between the two meanings

Crazy Heart

My crazy, delirious
Punished heart
Guess what!
Went nuts
And know, embarrassed
Awkward
Regretful
Uncomfortable
Wants your forgiveness
 
And that, despite the mess
The confusion, the havoc
The embarrassment, the fuss
The disorder
It wants to see us close to one another
Full of calm
 
I recognize
I did it, I undid it
I turned it inside out, but
I deserve more that only pain
Give me heat and I'll get warm

Summer break

Hiding in schoolbooks,
Picking out blouses, dresses, and skirts
There's no need to get up this early
In a rush to get to school, woah
Feeling passionate, Friday is approaching
I open the door,
And send you a text message
Then I hit the dance floor
 
It's summer break, I'm on summer break
The time when the sun is shining
The time when life begins to blossom
It's summer break, I'm on summer break
The most beautiful time in life
Time flies fast, fast
 
It's summer break, I'm on summer break
The time when the sun is shining
The time when life begins to blossom
It's summer break, I'm on summer break
The most beautiful time in life
Time flies fast, fast
 
Put the schoolbooks in your locker
Take out the blouse, but wearing jeans
I open the door
You came to the dance floor
I'm always thinking about you
What are you talking about, how do I look?
How will you kiss me gently on the lips
And we're going to dance
 
It's summer break, we're on summer break
The time when the sun is shining
The beautiful beginning of our lives
It's summer break, we're on summer break
The most beautiful time in our lives
Time goes by too fast
 
It's summer break, we're on summer break
The time when the sun is shining
The beautiful beginning of our lives
It's summer break, we're on summer break
The most beautiful time in our lives
Time goes by too fast
 
It's summer break, we're on summer break
The time when the sun is shining
The beautiful beginning of our lives
It's summer break, we're on summer break
The most beautiful time in our lives
Time goes by too fast
 
It's summer break...
 

Видовњак

Осећам да зној клизи са моје обрве,
Да ли сам то ја, или то сенке играју на зидовима?
Да ли је ово сан, или садашњост?
Да ли је ово што видим пред очима визија, или нормално стање?
 
Питам се зашто и како то
Изгледа да моћи јачају сваким даном.
Осетим снагу, унутрашњу ватру,
Али се плашим да нећу моћи више да је контролишем.
 
Постоји време живота и време смрти
Када је време да се сретне творац.
Постоји време живота, али није ли чудно
Да само што си се родио већ умиреш?
 
Само погледом кроз твоје очи,
Он је могао да види будућност која управо избија из твог ума,
Види истину и види твоје лажи,
Али уз сву своју моћ
Није могао да предвиди своју сопствену смрт.
 
Постоји време живота и време смрти
Када је време да се сретне творац.
Постоји време живота, али није ли чудно
Да само што си се родио већ умиреш?
 
Постоји време живота и време смрти
Када је време да се сретне творац.
Постоји време живота, али није ли чудно
Да само што си се родио већ умиреш...
...и биваш поново рођен?
 

My Beloved, Whenever Love Blows

My beloved, whenever love blows and the nightingale warbles the melody of its passion
Ecstasy wraps me up and love weakens me like a butterfly unaware of what has happened
 
Create a dream for me, my darling, from the gleam of the dawn and the last line of darkness
Round me up from solitude of life like the waft rounded up the attar of the amaryllis
 
Oh time of love, is there a way back to where we were before, where the parterre was all flowers smiling
Grabbing the chance and the night sweetened with songs and we were the ones time was inviting
 
When we came in, (time) was staggering with its silky apparel in a malingering way
Then its eyes glistened with magic just like a new dayspring shines in a sunny day
 

Heal Me From Myself

I'm the evil in crisis
Having to recognize
The weaknesses on one side
That not everyone sees
 
I cleaned myself
I found in my navel
My own enemy
That gets sick in the routine
 
I want to heal me from myself
Want to heal me from myself
Want to heal me from myself
 
The human being is weird
Trap of self
Talks about beautiful love
And judges the error of others
 
I came into the world in one body
This five foot three
I must be attentive to it
I can not change the other
 
I want to heal me from myself
Want to heal me from myself
Want to heal me from myself
 
I'm going small and peaceful
Making my prayers
I free myself from vanity
That destroys relationships
 
To fill me with what matters
I need to empty myself
To face my beasts
Recognizing me hypocrite
 
I'm bad, I'm a liar.
Vain and envious
I'm mean, grain of sand
Silly and prejudiced
 
I'm needy, narcissist
I fake smiles, I'm corrupt.
Slippery, gossipy
Moralist, gold digger
 
And it hurts, it hurts, it hurts to expose me like this
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, undress me like this
 
But if I do not have the courage
To face my faults
In what manner, in what way
Am I going to heal me from myself?
 
If this cure exists
I do not know. I only know that I try to search it on me.
I only know that I try
Heal me from myself
Heal me from myself
Heal me from myself
Heal me from myself
 

Den klärvoajante

Känner svetten bryta fram i pannan
Är det jag eller är det skuggor som dansar på väggarna?
Är det här en dröm eller händer det nu?
Är det här en syn eller verkligheten jag ser framför mig?
 
Jag undrar varför, jag undrar hur,
det känns som att krafterna blir starkare för varje dag
Jag känner en styrka, en inre eld,
men jag är rädd att jag inte kommer att kunna kontrollera den längre
 
Det finns en tid att leva och en tid att dö,
då det är dags att möta skaparen
Det finns en tid att leva, men är det inte märkligt
att så snart du föds är du döende?
 
Genom att bara se dig i ögonen
kunde han se din framtid och sträcka sig in genom ditt medvetande
Se sanningen och se dina lögner
Men trots all sin kraft kunde han inte förutse sin egen undergång
 
Det finns en tid att leva och en tid att dö
då det är dags att möta skaparen
Det finns en tid att leva, men är det inte märkligt
att så snart du föds är du döende?
 
Det finns en tid att leva och en tid att dö
då det är dags att möta skaparen
Det finns en tid att leva, men är det inte märkligt
att så snart du föds är du döende...
... och föds pånytt?
 

Ovo leto

Ovo leto će biti magično
Doživećemo nešto drugačije
Slavićemo cele noći
I sve će biti kao san
 
Ovo leto će biti magično
Doživećemo nešto drugačije
Posle žurke na plaži
Napiću te šotovima i poljupcima
 
Ovo leto...
 
Za stara vremena, za stara vremena
Toliko želim da ti se približim
Tražio sam način da se približimo jedno drugom
Jednim pogledom, jednim pogledom
Toliko toga smo rekli da sam dobio hrabrost
Da ti otpevam nešto lepo
 
Ovo leto će biti magično
Doživećemo nešto drugačije
Slavićemo cele noći
I sve će biti kao san
 
Ovo leto će biti magično
Doživećemo nešto drugačije
Posle žurke na plaži
Napiću te šotovima i poljupcima
 
Osećam toliko toga, osećam toliko toga
Ali zaglavljen sam u utisku koji sam na tebe ostavio
Gledaš me i ne govoriš ništa
I odjednom, i odjednom
Prilaziš mi držeći u ruci
Piće i cigaretu i pitaš me za upaljač
 
Ovo leto...
 

Ngoi Lên Để Thở

Em không mang lại điều gì tốt lành cho anh
Em không phải thứ anh cần
Anh đã nói rất rõ
Dù rằng em không đồng tình
 
Để anh ra đi
Để anh trôi đi
Vì một khi anh khám phá xong dòng nước rắc rối đó
Em tin rằng có ngày anh sẽ về
 
Và em vẫn sẽ ở đây thôi
Khi anh ngoi lên để thở
Hãy làm những gì anh cần làm
Em sẽ chờ anh, ngoi lên để thở
 
Vì trong thế giới rộng lớn này
Không có ai dành cho em cả
Vậy nên trong lúc anh kiếm tìm những câu trả lời trong lòng đại dương
Em vẫn sẽ chờ anh nơi này thôi
 
Hãy chắc rằng anh lặn thật sâu nhé
Vì nếu anh làm vậy
Kể cả nó có kéo dài cả ngàn đời
Tình yêu à, em biết rằng anh cuối cùng cũng sẽ tìm thấy sự thật, và trở về bên em
 
Và em vẫn sẽ ở đây thôi
Khi anh ngoi lên để thở
Hãy làm những gì anh cần làm
Em sẽ chờ anh, ngoi lên để thở
 
Và kể cả khi đây chính là kết thúc
Em chắc chắn rằng em sẽ ở một mình đến khi em chết
Vì không ai khác có thể sánh với anh được
Sẽ thật không công bằng với họ
 
Để nằm đây với một người mới
Nhưng tất cả những gì em nghĩ đến là anh
Nếu anh là Jack của em, em sẽ là Rose của anh
Và em hứa rằng em sẽ không bao giờ bỏ đi
 
Và em vẫn sẽ ở đây thôi
Khi anh ngoi lên để thở
Hãy làm những gì anh cần làm
Em sẽ chờ anh, ngoi lên để thở
 
Ngoi lên để thở
Ngoi lên để thở
Ngoi lên để thở
Ngoi lên để thở
 
Ngoi lên để thở
Ngoi lên để thở
Ngoi lên để thở
Ngoi lên để thở
 

Çirkin

[Verse 1]
(Mistah)*
Köşede oturuyor, cinini yudumluyor
(Mistah)
Benim iyi talihim olmalı, beni onun yanına götürdü
(Mistah)
Gözümün içine baktığındaki rengi sevdiğini söyledi
(Mistah)
Dudakları nirvana gibi, öpüşü cennet
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Rol yapmayı ve küfürlü konuşmayı seviyor, beni dört otuza kadar devam ettiriyor
Marco polo oynuyor, gözleri kapalıyken etrafını hissediyor
Bana Cleopatra de, aynada izlememi sağla, 'söylemiştim' demek istemiyorum
 
[Chorus]
Ama ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
Beni sevdiğin sürece, bu çirkinleşebilir
ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
Evet bebeğim, güven bana, çirkinleşebilir, beni koru
Bu çok iyi, gerçekten çok iyi
Bu çok iyi, beni olması gerektiği gibi seviyorsun
ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
Evet, bebeğim, güven bana, çirkinleşebilir
 
[Verse 2]
(Mistah)
Balayı bitti, güller yerde
(Mistah)
Bağırıyor ve suçluyorsun, bana kaltak diyorsun
(Mistah)
Kelimelerin beni sarsıyor, beni yalanlarla bırakıyor
(Mistah)
Bir trambolinin üzerindeyiz ve yakında düşeceğiz
 
[Chorus]
Ama ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
Beni sevdiğin sürece, bu çirkinleşebilir
ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
Evet bebeğim, güven bana, çirkinleşebilir, beni koru
Bu çok iyi, gerçekten çok iyi
Bu çok iyi, beni olması gerektiği gibi seviyorsun
ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
Evet, bebeğim, güven bana, çirkinleşebilir
 
[Chorus]
Ama ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
Beni sevdiğin sürece, bu çirkinleşebilir
ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
Evet bebeğim, güven bana, çirkinleşebilir, beni koru
Bu çok iyi, gerçekten çok iyi
Bu çok iyi, beni olması gerektiği gibi seviyorsun
ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
Evet, bebeğim, güven bana, çirkinleşebilir
 

Her Står Jeg (Lige Som Jeg Troede, Jeg Kom Mig Over Dig)

Her står jeg
Og leger med de minder igen
Og lige som jeg troede, at tiden havde set mig fri
Bliver tankerne om dig ved med at håne mig
 
At holde om dig
En følelse, jeg aldrig blev for gammel til
Men hver en del af mig har forsøgt
Kun du kan fylde tomrummet indeni
 
Så der er ingen grund til at lade som om
Mit hjerte ikke kommer sig
 
Lige som jeg troede, jeg kom mig over dig
Og lige som jeg troede, jeg kunne stå på egne ben
Åh, skat, kommer minderne væltende ind
Og jeg kan bare ikke fortsætte uden dig
 
På egen hånd
Jeg har prøvet at få det bedste ud af det alene
Jeg har gjort alt for at lindre smerten
Men kun du kan stands regnen
 
Jeg kan bare ikke leve uden dig
Jeg savner alt ved dig
 
Lige som jeg troede, jeg kom mig over dig
Og lige som jeg troede, jeg kunne stå på egne ben
Åh, skat, kommer minderne væltende ind
Og jeg kan bare ikke fortsætte uden, fortsætte uden
Det går bar ikke uden dig
 
Uden dig
Uden dig
Uden dig
Uden dig
Uden dig
Uden dig
 

Flughafen

So viele Flugziele,
Gesichter reisen an so viele Orte,
Wo das Wetter viel besser
Und das Essen so viel billiger ist
 
Ich helfe ihr mit ihrem Gepäck,
Denn ihr Gepäck ist so schwer
Ich höre, das Flugzeug steht bereit am Flugsteig
Um meine Liebste mitzunehmen
 
Und ich kann es nicht glauben,
Dass sie mich wirklich verlassen will.
Und das ergreift mich so sehr,
Es ergreift mich so sehr
 
Flughafen,
Flughafen,
Du hast ein lächelndes Gesicht
Du hast die, die ich liebe, so weit weg gebracht
Du fliegst sie weg
Du fliegst sie weg
 
Flughafen,
Flughafen,
Du hast ein lächelndes Gesicht
Du hast meine Lady an einen anderen Ort gebracht
Du fliegst sie weg
Du fliegst sie weg
 
Das Flugzeug ist in Bewegung
Und die Spuren unserer Liebe an gewissen Plätzen
Drehen sich mir im Kopf
Wie sehr ich doch wünschte, ich wäre viel stärker gewesen
 
Denn die Räder drehen sich schneller,
Und ich höre die Winde blasen
Und ich weiß, dass sie weg fliegt,
Mit dem Flugzeug, das schon weit unten auf der Startbahn ist
 
Und ich kann es nicht glauben,
Dass sie mich wirklich verlassen will.
Und das ergreift mich so sehr,
Es ergreift mich so sehr
 
Flughafen,

Du hast ein lächelndes Gesicht
Du hast die, die ich liebe, so weit weg gebracht
Du fliegst sie weg
Du fliegst sie weg

Everything and its opposite

One day it's black
One day it's white
Everything's confused
with impunity
I just don't know anymore
I just don't know anymore
 
All these thoughts
That one takes in
go up in smoke
at the next scandal
I just don't know anymore
 
All these alarms, all these experts
Everything and its opposite
 
I don't know anymore
Do this, do that
Inside out, Right-side up
You can or you can't
I don't know anymore
Eat this, eat that
This will perhaps kill you
or vice-versa
I don't know anymore
Everything and its opposite
 
One day it's clear
One day it's hazy
As long as you buy the heck with the rest
I don't know anymore
 
There is an ocean of information
But you can swim against the current
Who could have believed it
 
All these alarms, all these experts
Everything and its opposite
 

Your Oud is Resonant

Versions: #2
Your oud is resonant
Lemme here the sound of your oud
Play it again, keep playing it
Lemme here the oud
Play it loud again and again
 
Strum and keep strumming
Tell me this tune is for you
A true song and more beautiful than words
Play a tune that enters my heart
 
All these people have gathered around the sound of your strings
That string is sensitive, quit playing on the same string (what she is saying here is that he's really hit her soft spot with what he's playing, and the underlying meaning is that she's in love with him and she's really affected by what he's playing)
You've really moved me
Play it again and again
 
Strum and strum hard til you wake up everyone
Night is not for sleeping here it's for staying up late
You play so well, play for us
 

when he was bending

Versions: #2
when he was bending (this means he is dancing or doing something graceful)
My love, his beauty struck us
Something about it captivated us
beauty, as soon as he began to bend
 
My promise, oh my confusion, my promise, oh my confusion
Who could be the one to alleviate my sufferings in love, from my torment, except the one of beauty
Oh mercy, oh mercy, oh mercy
 

The Bus

Versions: #3
I'm used to your eyes
I've been lost and lonely because of them
Your eyes are black
And you don't know what they do to me
 
Upon the rumble of the bus that was carrying us from the village of Hamlaya to the village of Tannourine I remembered you, oh Aaliyah, and I remember your eyes
God damn your eyes are so pretty Aaliyah
 
We were riding the bus in this heat and dying of exhaustion
One guy's eating lettuce, another guy's eating figs
And there's another guy with his wife
Wow, his wife is so ugly
Lucky them, their minds are completely empty, the Tannourine passengers
They don't know your eyes, Aaliyah
They're so beautiful
 
We were riding the bus, riding without paying
Sometimes we shut up the door for the driver
Sometimes we shut up the passengers
That guy who's here with his wife, he's turning red and his wife is dizzy
I swear he'd let her get out by herself at Tannourine if he saw your eyes, oh Aaliyah
They're so beautiful
 

I Beg You Bee Eater

I beg you oh bee-eater bird
You are journeying in their direction
Say hi to my loved ones for me
And tell me how they are and what happened
 
On the hills of the forgotten sun
On the leaf of the yellow sycamore
We fly and soar higher little by little
While the world becomes smaller
And with the fig orchards, October calls, my darling
So often with the silence of the turtle doves, I hear your voice call me
My night and my fear is that some night my family will wail
Secrets tire me and secrets sadden me, my darling
 

Double edged sword

I tried to dream of
the world without you
and I awoke terrified
with tears in my eyes
and I awoke terrified
with tears in my eyes
I tried to dream of
the world without you
 
Just let me for a moment
to feel your kiss
and so let it be
that all of life passes
with just the memory of you
 
I believed that I could grab you
If I reached out my hand
but you were an untouchable dream
and a double edge sword
 

Song of Sinclair

The last time, while on a lovely meadow
I walked about with my lambs
And sat down, like I was used to
Where I could hear the lark most clearly
An old man approached me
Adorned with silver hair
He looked at me, quite friendly
And said: 'Good morning'
 
'Hear' he said, 'come Celadon
Follow me for a bit
Leave your worries behind
You're about to hear alot'
I was soon on my feet, put away my flute
Took the old man in his hand
And we were soon, not before long
In foreign lands
 
I've never been as astonished
But I was even more afraid
When the old man slightly opened a door
Made of pure shimmering silver
Behind it was a hall
A hall for all the halls
The air was cool in there
And the light was like that of a valley
 
Around a splendid silver table
Twelve swedish men were sat
Who didn't speak much
But had the faces of kings
Eight of them looked old
Four of them looked strong
The others, as before
[Looked like] they had left the world
 
The ninth in this row
Seemed to have quick mind
The tenth looked bold and happy
With courage dwelling in his chest
The eleventh was a brave man
He was sitting, counting money
He handed it out, like a father
To his children and workers
 
The twelfth was a slender, long
And fully grown hero
You were never able to see
His manly heart yield
His eyes were fearless
As those of young eagles
He readily clenched his fist
Like the paw of a bear
 
And soon the shiny door was opened
A swedish man entered
With a shot and torn body of a hero
Although a bold face could not help him
His face was covered in blood
Destroyed, trampled, beaten
And the chest that covered his heart
Had taken some heavy shots
 
He said his greetings in a swedish manner
And the king graciously answered
And said 'We do not know you
Who could you be?'
'I am' he said, 'a swedish major
My name is Malkolm Sinclair
My sould recently left me
From the depths and corners of my heart
 
'How' said the king 'did you die
'You brave and great karolin1
You've been painted red by blood
Like you've been butchered'
'Yes' he said 'your majesty
A rude Bellona2
Has paid me back for walking
With the swedish army
 
'Aha' said the king 'but listen
Where were you when you died?'
'Three miles3 from Brelau, when a river
Flowed out from my veins'
'Who killed you?' - 'Six russian men
Stole my life from me
If I've had time, I would've given them
Some nice shots in return'
 
And thus, all heroes with courage
And hearts in the chest
Ack4, revenge the blood of Malkolm Sinclair
That Küthler5 murderously spilled
And I will always be
By your side at all times
And I will stop, because now I see
How our sun is falling into the shadows

Am I visible enough?

I come from the south, I come from the east,
I've taken the plunge!
From my country, I have a little bit of my accent when I speak French
 
Life over there isn't easy
But is it really better to live here?
When of your towns I only ever know the suburbs.
 
I am here to work from daybreak,
I am here to build you your dream house.
I am here, yes but for everything else
Am I visible enough?
 
I am here, waiting to be either welcomed or chased away
I am here in your life, I come, I go, then I come back
I am here, yes but for everything else
Am I visible enough?
 
I come from the south, I come from the east,
One day, I'll go back there.
Because for my brothers
I have a little bit of love and respect left.
 
I am here to work from daybreak,
I am here to build you your dream house.
I am here, yes but for everything else
Am I visible enough?
I am here, waiting to be either welcomed or chased away
I am here in your life, I come, I go, then I come back
I am here, yes but for everything else
Am I visible enough?
 
Am I visible enough?
I am here, I come to collect your children from school.
To collect your cigarette buts from the ground.
I am here, am I visible enough?
 

Alone against everything

Alone against everything, you come to the world
To be alone, and only alone
Then you grow up away from the others
To stay by the banks of the river
Where you are alone
 
Bound to be alone, you build yourself
(Just to make yourself a solitude)
A hell more beautiful than all the others
Where nobody risks following you
Even if he is alone
 
In my prison
The days, like the nights, know each other by heart
On the ceilings
There are vultures who turn for hours on end
 
Alone against everything, between two worlds
Against yourself, and you're still alone
You feel so far away from the others
That you let yourself drift away
Even more alone
 
More than a fortress
With dead-ends, no windows, no door and no resentment
A loyal mistress
Who you love and you stroke for hours on end
 
Alone against everything, you come to the world
To be alone, and only alone
Then you grow up away from the others
To stay by the banks of the river.
 
Bound to be alone, you build yourself
(Just to make yourself a solitude)
A hell more beautiful than all the others
Where nobody risks following you
Even if he is alone
 
Then you grow up away from the others
To stay by the banks of the river.
Bound to be alone, you build yourself
(Just to make yourself a solitude)
A hell more beautiful than all the others
Where nobody risks following you
Even if he is alone
 

Stay

I get attached to anyone, you know
Even when I give of myself, I never have any regrets
I leave when I want to, you see
The world is for those who don't look back
Go where you're looking for yourself
Even if I'm not there
Love, even if you lose yourself while you're not sure about me
Oh oh, what's stopping us
From making the first move?
 
Stay, where do you want me to go without you?
If you stay
I will be all of your journeys
Stay, I will love you wherever you may be
If you stay
We will go wherever you want to
 
I was so scared, you know
That you would look at me without undressing me
I had my fingers crossed, you see
 
So that you would understand
What I wasn't saying
That I'm the only one
Who matters for you
That I'm the only one
Who loves you like this
Oh oh, nothing is stopping us anymore
From making the first move
 
Stay, where do you want me to go without you?
If you stay
I will be all of your journeys
Stay, I will love you wherever you may be
If you stay
We will go wherever you want to
 
If you stay
where do you want me to go without you?
If you stay
I will be all of your journeys
Stay, I will love you wherever you may be
If you stay
We will go wherever you want to
 

Hey ho

For a journey
For a mirage
How many crossings of the desert?
Under the main sails
Under the stars
How many vessels, solitary people
 
Hey ho, is anyone here?
Hey ho, is anyone alive?
Do we need the night to get to the light?
Hey ho, is anyone alive?
Hey ho, is anyone here?
Is there a cry that can be found?
 
Under the silence
Appearances
How much suffering, how many prayers
In the departures
The goodbyes
How many shipwrecks, how many men overboard
 
Hey ho, is anyone here?
Hey ho, is anyone alive?
Do we need the night to get to the light?
Hey ho, is anyone alive?
Hey ho, is anyone here?
Is there a cry that can be found?
 
Hey ho, is anyone alive?
Hey ho, is anyone here?
Is there a cry that can be found?
 
Hey ho, is anyone here?
Hey ho, is anyone alive?
Do we need the night to get to the light?
Hey ho, is anyone alive?
Hey ho, is anyone here?
Is there a cry that can be found?
 

Let's rise

You, my brother
From the same suffering
You see, everything is possible
Let's prove that being proud
To honour our fathers
Makes us invincible
 
For the right to respect
That they instilled in us
Let's each brandish our values
To become someone
With their dignity
Let's fight up until the final hour
Let's rise
 
Honour and greatness,
All these tainted words,
They are tattooed on our hearts for ever
For our sisters,
For our mothers,
Their cries,
Their anger
 
CHORUS
 
There is no hero, there is only a rumour
For a new day that will soon dawn
Our skin colours, like our ideals
Will be the greatest gifts for our children
Let's rise
 

All I want

All I want is a home
And a woman who unbraids her hair in the morning
And kids who run to greet me
Even when they’re half asleep
 
All I want is a warm cup of tea
A loving kiss, and peace of mind
And happy news in the paper
And people smiling in the street
Like they use to
 
And happy morning greeting
From an exhausted private on duty
Who just wants to go home and fall asleep
From a conductor who’s fed up of the crowds
From a taxi driver on a flooded street
 
All I want is only 3 pounds
For official paperwork
A warm cup of tea for a poor clerk
All I want is my ID
Even if it has no address
All I want is a job
No side talk
And “he said, she said” dilemmas
No chitchat
No gossip, no dirty laundry
None of the “stand up tall when you’re talking to me” nonsense
All the fake laughs
I’m done with fools
I’m done with pretense
 
All I want is to go home from work
After a long hot day
And find my loving woman smiling at me
And a breezy home that brings me back to life
 
All my troubles would fade away
And find my kids running towards me
Hug me like there’s no tomorrow
Take my briefcase and search it
Take their candy and run away
 
And in the afternoon, I’d read the paper
And you my everything
Are right there ironing my shirts
And give me that loving look when I’m tired
 
All I want is your loving embrace, crawl under the sheets, and fall asleep
 

By the clear fountain

As I walked
by the clear fountain,
I found the water so lovely
I had to bath.
 
I've love you for so long
I will never forget you
 
Under the oak's leaves
I dried,
On the highest bough,
a nightingale sang.
 
I've love you for so long
I will never forget you
 
Sing, nightingale, sing,
You of the jubilant heart.
Your heart is made for laughing,
Mine, it can only cry.
 
I've love you for so long
I will never forget you
 
I've lost my friend
Withouth deserving it,
Because of a bouquet of roses
That I refused him
 
I've love you for so long
I will never forget you
 
I wished the rose
were still on the bush,
And that my sweet friend
loved me still.
