Only the quebracho wept

The shadow rolled up
next to the eaves of the ranch.
 
It was a hot summer,
of those Santiago has.
 
And north wind day
they had scorched the pastures.
 
That's why Juan very early
along with his little boy
had gotten into the hill
to fight with the quebracho (to struggle with the labor of cutting its wood).
 
To cut and to carve the post
his daily work
although it was a hard trade
but he had inherited it
and with his farmer ax
he was almost an artisan.
 
Suddenly the little boy arrived
running to the ranch yard
and shouting 'Mum, my tata (father) has hurt himself!'
with a fierce and deep cut
the tata (father) remained there bleeding.
 
And thus almost without words
without sighs they arrived
there in a clearing of the hill
there was a half carved post
there was the ax with blood
and John lying by its side,
he had kept a few words,
it was to tell them something:
'Do not worry, I tell you, today you stop being a little child.
There you have my ax, look after it. You shall take care of your brothers. '
It was the last thing he said
and his voice gradually began to fade.
 
The sun was up
like a ember breaking.
two glances met,
none of them shed tears
because one has to go on with one's the life
to cut and to carve the post
and more if the fate has wanted
make a man of that little boy,
I'm sure that day
only the quebracho wept!
 

Santiago del Estero

In Santiago I met
a flower that perfumes my life.
Due to her charm I got lost,
due to her love, due to her passion.
 
I loved her so much
and I adored her sincerely
that in heartfelt serenade
I sang to her under the balcony
with all my love
with emotion and faith.
 
Santiago, old town of the ship
don't believe if I'm get happy
that maybe I will forget you,
I always remember with love
that it was on your streets that I lived an illusion.
 
And looking at the old river, the bridge over there,
I understood that in my memory you will not die.
How much emotion is to contemplate
your eucalyptus, your July sun,
four centuries of lineage,
mother of cities, you are my illusion!
 

Gone times

Let's get started!
 
I was born there and there I was just raised,
my ranch is made of straw and mud
and there my past sleeps.
 
Talvesteando the junales
a little path was lost,
the smoke of its bend
my child may have gotten lost there.
 
In the palm of a quimil
I left my name noted down
in case one day I don't come back
so as the field doesn't forget me.
 
Gentlemen, I'm Junquero
I am creole and peasant
at my home the fortune,
the land where I've been born.
 
Amunchulla chusajnencka.
 
Yaykuyku!
 
As much as I go far
I will never forget
Posongo great heart
beautiful dust cloud.
 
Beautiful Posongo! Posondeños!
 
I am mishquilo because the river
has given me his surname,
you are so nice being dry
and you're so bad being enlarged.
 
I remember the little paths
where I used to go through,
I remember my gone times
and I sing so as not to crying.
 
Gentlemen I am Santiagueño
I don't deny my corner,
I am a sachero, hard tongue,
I speak when there is occasion to do so.
 

Peasant Christmas carol

¡Chacarera yaya huahuitackay!
 
Chacarera for the little child, God!
 
Hey, very beautiful!
 
Get deep into it!
 
Sacha mamas ckasamuni
maypichus nacerahuacka
chakraishtachanckachispa
 
nian mana churinanpa.
 
From the hill I am looking for
the birth of the child
and the light of that star
is indicating me the way.
 
Sachas sisastapa amuni
adorna purisinanpa
ñahuinki charikichuani
canchachi kutin kikin llata.
 
Just there!
 
I take the flower of the hill for you
to decorate his cot,
I already see his eyes shine
because the moon illuminates him.
 
And the missing one comes!
 
There it goes!
 
Mishtol, chañar, algarroba
sandia, melo, zapallo,
huachuska pesebre kipin
nacin kikin canta gallo.
 
Mishtol, chañar, carob
melon, watermelon, pumpkin
hung from his crèche,
he's been born, the cock already sings.
 
Apurana purisckani
horn kikispa sisasckan
and premiata papusckani
ckaypi huahuita cantascka.
 
I'm hurrying my step,
I'm cutting more flowers,
as a prize I'm taking
these little singing children for him.
 

Happy hearts

Happy hearts!
 

Chacarera for my return

I left my singing land
in order to visit other places,
I go there through the roads
but my soul is in Santiago.
 
Since then I live alone
on the streets of life,
silent shadows that pass by,
guitars full of wounds.
 
Guitar full of wounds
and a song inside my chest is crying, crying.
 
When I go back
I don't know how nor when
the flame there shall tell you
how much I've longed for you.
 
From your distance to mine
there is a wooden cross,
a rose that you have left
and a dance of chacareras.
 
And a dance of chacareras
under this starry sky
where the drums sing like the cocuyos
with the wind and the sachayo.
 
And when sleeping, the night falls
over the foam of the river
on the wings of an ochkobo
so as not to die of coldness.
 
When I go back
I don't know how nor when
the flame there shall tell you
how much I've longed for you.
 

On the road to Villa Nueva

Memory of a yesterday
when I met you,
for all your love
you offered (it) to me.
 
There a love was born
because of you beautiful woman,
and time gave us
that joyfulness of a love.
 
How to forget it if it was
an peerless idyll
lived between both (of us)
in that beautiful place!
 
On the way to that jebar
landscape like Eden,
to my hometown
New Villa of my love.
 
Today alone when remembering
I'm fullfullied with emotion
bliss and happiness
they enthral my heart.
 
Charm of living
so united the two of us
and relive your love
as a blessing of God.
 

What a beautiful dream I dreamed

Akushu llaricku cari y tuta*
 
Yes my friend llaricko!
 
Get deep into it!
 
In!
 
I had dreamed of a child:
Jesus of Nazareth
he had been born in my hometown
what a beautiful dream I dreamed!
 
I also dreamed that the little child Jesus was born in Atamishqui*.
 
My uncles, the peasants,
they put the child at their feet
like a miracle in my town
oh, dream of love is He!
 
Very beautiful, Marcelito!
 
Very cute, Marcelito!
 
I bring you goat milk,
of the little donkey blue alfalfa,
also a pair of carob
for the little kid Jesus.
 
It's finishing!
 
It's over!
 
For, the dream that I've had
Jesus of Nazareth
had been born in Santiago
what a beautiful dream I dreamed!
 
Very beautiful, Marcelito!
 
And that comes the missing one!
 
There goes the missing one!
 
Let's get deep into it!
 
In!
 
I hit two axes, Maria,
and with the river my bread
I bring you a silver moon
and a flower of foam and salt.
 
Very sweet, oh!
 
How nice, Marcelito!
 
I am melero*, Mrs,
I have a honey clown,
the bouquets of trill
that in a cup I found.
 
My name is Marcelito
I found him the child God
that only cradle, quebracho
and a sun papaya tree.
 
It's finishing!
 
It's over!
 
For, the dream that I've had
Jesus of Nazareth
had been born in Santiago*
what a beautiful dream I dreamed!
 
Very sweet!
 

For love

Sixto:
 
Sing even a chacarera, man!
 
The other person replies:
 
For love, for pain, how do you want (it)?
 
Sixto:
 
For love ckancka mishquiecka (sweet barbecue)!
 
The other person replies:
 
Then that the first one comes!
 
Other!
 
In!
 
Singing:
 
Little velvet eyes
little red carnation mouth,
if you are already committed
give me your answer.
 
If your arms were jail
and your chest dungeon,
if I were a prisoner,
what a joyful prisoner!
 
I had a dream last night,
last night I dreamy again,
I dreamt I was in your arms
without being able to wake up.
 
I've ordered that you bury me
sat when I die
so that the people tell you:
'He died but he awaits you'.
 
Recitation:
 
The eyes of my brunette
are so big and so beautiful
that they don't deserve to cry
but that they're cried over.
 
Oh!
 
The other!
 
Force!
 
Singing:
 
I put my hand inside my pocket
I take out a purple ribbon,
if for you I lose my life
I say I don't lose anything.
 
To the river I threw a handkerchief
with five bouquets of flowers
they have half a lily
which is the flower of my loves.
 
Come on! come on!
 
Seven leagues I have run,
lass, just to see you again,
wet me with your charms
that I'm dying of thirst.
 
It's over!
 
The eyes have their girls,
the girls have their eyes,
behind the eyes of the girl
the lines of my eyes go.
 

I suffer without you

Recitation:
 
Today I sense that there in heaven
my mom is watching me
as asking and pleading
that my guitar does not fall silent.
 
I entered the thickest hill
to look for you vidala,
I only compare you
with the most loved woman.
 
Singing:
 
I suffer because you walk away
great is my pain.
I have decided to forget you:
I can not, my love.
 
Sad, very sad I stay
thinking about your love
 
Love of my life,
where may it be?
In vain I look for you so much,
you will not come back.
 
Sad, very sad I stay
thinking about your love
 
Days go by and go by.
What will be of me?
I only live in constant suffering:
I can not live.
 
Sad, very sad I stay
thinking about your love.
 

Sacherita

When you remember, my love,
sad it shall be for you,
my shadows you will miss
and then you shall cry for me.
 
They say that you have cried
for a love that knew used to love you.
I also lost a love that
I loved for real, but I don't know how to cry.
 
When I'm absent from here
A lot you shall feel.
My heart is saying
'My return when will it be?'
Do not cry girl
if I shall come back.
 

I miss you

When you don’t know where to go anymore,
Just go to the place that scares you the most.
The things you can’t change,
Are those that end up changing you.
I promised I’d do everything for you
But I can’t make you happy.
If you’re gonna be someone without me,
Please don’t ever be what they made you be.
And one day goes by and I don’t see you
It’s two already and I lose you.
If you turn the page, I won’t read you.
 
I miss you,
Even though I was the one who kicked you out (1)
I don’t know what I want sometimes.
How can I love you?
You find excuses,
I always waited for you.
The worst part is that you’re fire,
And burning scares me.
 
Love yourself until you forget why weren’t doing it before
Forget everything, but happiness
Some nonsense that tells you “live” and to call me “my love”* (2)
You say “come”, but you won’t tell me where to go
You lost your time, the way you see it
But good things won’t come that easy
 
And now that there is no time left,
I feel like telling you
That you have always loved me they way I don’t
Leaving doesn’t hurt,
Realising too late that I could have stayed when she no longer could, does
If love can conquer anything
My problem was that I believed I could actually conquer love
And how can I know you
If I always lived with myself
And the one that knows me the worst is myself?
 
I miss you,
Even though I was the one who kicked you out (1)
I don’t know what I want sometimes.
How can I love you?
You find excuses,
I always waited for you.
The worst part is that you’re fire,
And burning scares me.
 
The worst part is thinking for the first time,
That something can be the last time
And the sheer irony of seeing me run.
Just running away safe from my steps.
It’s been a lifetime loving you, giving, waiting for you
Not caring I might hurt
It’s being difficult to be able to realise
That I’m not that important for you
 
I miss you,
Even though I was the one who kicked you out (1)
I don’t know what I want sometims.
How can I love you?
You find excuses,
I always waited for you.
The worst part is that you’re fire,
And burning scares me.
 

Golden Sneers ~Lovely Banquet~

Welcome to this night party of madness
Let's start the game of the great occasions
 
I won't bore you
Come on, move the pawns
I will crush your childish ideas
 
The seven deadly sins have been washed away
The ninth night has finished without incoveniences
The thirteen victims have been sacrificed in the just ritual
 
I will give you rose coloured wine
I will love you to the bone
 
Kiss my feet, kiss them
Come on prostrate yourself before me
I will cook you very well
With the spice of despair
 
Your laments are like a sweet orchestral melody
How beautiful your screams are!
I become inebriated just hearing them
 
The wing is broken,
the eagle has fallen from the sky
It's feathers are scattered throughout the seas and mountains
 
Ahahahahahahahahahahaha!
 
Let my poor soul rest in peace!
Let my poor soul rest in peace!
 

Otrov

Kada prestaneš sa glupostima
Odakle uvek isto započinjemo
Naša veza je bila utopija
utopija si ti
Spolja ličiš na princezu
U tvoj dvorac sam ušao bez pamćenja
Na ono šta sam morao da mislim
Sa umom, ali um
Je otišao negde
 
Ne mogu te više kontrolisati
Više te ne mogu podneti
Ti si poput otrova
Dodirnem te i gorim
Ne želim se skrivati
Ne želim te braniti
Ti si poput otrova
Dodirnem te i gorim
 
Dozvoli da te pitam nešto
Da li si ovakva sa mnom ili je uvek ovako?
Smučile su mi se tvoje gluposti
Tvoje gluposti nisu za mene
 
Jednog dana doći ću kući
I neću znati šta će me sačekati
Nikada neću moći da izbrišem
Tebe u krevetu kako skačeš
Sa neznanca
Zašto mi ne javiš i ne zaključaš se
Sa takvom bravom ne moram imati
Noćne more i zaboraviću da te poznajem
 

Небеске очи

Играју моменти
ране без речи,
ране са речима
једва рећи било шта
једва кажеш било шта
и ништа није довољно
мисли да је лудо
слушати људе
 
И ја више ако ти ниси ту не знам да будем.
 
Опрости ми ако сам те некад
расплакала небеске очи
опрости ми ако сам некад
украла са твојих усана једно волим те
опрости ми, опрости ми.
 
Пратим твоје кораке
иако се понекад изгубим
изгубим се у милионима питања
и увек завршим бежећи.
Зашто одлазити трчећи
ако те носим дубоко у себи
данас ми недостајеш
али плашим се.
 
И ја више ако ти ниси ту не знам да будем.
 
Опрости ми ако сам те некад
расплакала небеске очи
опрости ми ако сам некад
украла са твојих усана једно волим те
опрости ми, опрости ми.
 
Данас, иако си далеко, ја сам још увек овде.
Знаш да не могу, не без тебе.
 
Играју моменти
ране без речи,
ране са речима
једва рећи било шта
једва кажеш било шта
и ништа није довољно
мисли да је лудо
слушати људе
 
И ја више ако ти ниси ту не знам да будем.
 
Опрости ми ако сам некад...
 

Disdainful

Those glances of yours, full of strange brilliance,
that rose coloured smile of yours,
they’ve been always fascinating me, even though they hurt me,
‘cause you’re very sweet, but also disdainful.

Give me the charm of your beautiful eyes,
the sensual bewitchment that one can predict in you,
so that in my life, so full of thistles,
you’ll be a star that illuminates my soul.

The night is still young (It's 7 pm in Tokyo)

If carelessly I watched TV
I dreamed a ridiculous dream
I look at the clock and I find out
It's 7 pm in Tokyo
 
Though I'm going to meet you
I've been dressing since the morning
I won't be loved in a night
It's 7 pm in Tokyo
 
The restaurant where we arranged to meet
Still hasn't stopped working
I'm so hungry I could die
I want to meet you soon
I want to meet you soon
 
It's 7 pm in Tokyo
The city shines that it seems like a lie
As I'm so alone, I want to meet you
It's 7 pm in Tokyo
I really love you
As I'm so alone, I want to meet you
 
Carelessly blown by the wind
I open the taxi window
I hurry to meet you
It's 7 pm in Tokyo
 
The answering machine
Suddenly starts to work well alone
In a night the talk will continue
Tokyo's night is wonderful
 
At the crossroad waiting for the signal
You always are adorable
I'll arrive a little later today too
I want to meet you soon
I want to meet you soon
 
It's 7 pm in Tokyo
Even if isn't Christmas
As I'm so alone, I want to meet you
It's 7 pm in Tokyo
I really love you
As I'm so alone, I want to meet you
 
Is there a single one around the world
who loves me?
The restaurant where we arranged to meet
Still hasn't stopped working
Like this carrying roses
You're waiting alone
Roses like the ones I saw in my dreams
I want to meet you soon
I want to meet you soon
 
It's 7 pm in Tokyo
The city shines that it seems like a lie
As I'm so alone, I want to meet you
It's 7 pm in Tokyo
I really love you
As I'm so alone, I want to meet you

Devojče, devojče, crveno jabuče

Devojče, devojče, crveno jabuče,
devojče, devojče, crveno jabuče,
ne stoj ispred mene, izgoreh za tobom,
ne stoj ispred mene, izgoreh za tobom!
 
Izgoreh za tobom, kao lan za vodom,
izgoreh za tobom, kao lan za vodom.
kao lan za vodom, bosiljak za rosom,
kao lan za vodom, bosiljak za rosom!
 
Gori, ludo gori i ja tako gorim!
gori, ludo gori, i ja tako gorim,
i ja tako gorim, ne znam šta da radim
i ja tako gorim, ne znam šta da radim!
 
Devojče, devojče, pitaj majku ti,
devojče, devojče, pitaj majku ti,
daje li te, za mene sirota.
daje li te, za mene sirota!
 
Ne da mene nana još godinu,
ne da mene nana još godinu,
još godinu, jer sam devojče
još sam devojče od šesnaest godinica!
 

Country of The Night

I was searching for something
I lost in a forgotten town that piled up by ashes
Even though you, with those red eyes prayed with small voices but I was covering my ears
Instead of stretch your hands out,
Let's just hide together
We laughed at each other with innocent child eyes as our fingers pointed at cleaved sky
Basked inside the light that peeked through the crack of night
Let's fall asleep here where nobody would find us Deeply dyed in the midst of these fleeting passed days,
I've discovered what's called caginess
We've been captured here by nothing but the depth of memories we held close and living by spreading our roots
Would something change, if I entwined our hands? Beyond the cleaved sky, there are big eyes staring at us as we were searching upon a lonely light in this country where morning wouldn't rise
Between the creaking nights
Grieves go on, into a parched impatience I was shamefully hanging my head
But your pure words shook my heart
They have melted my frozen heart as if cleansed everything away
We laughed at each other with innocent child eyes as our fingers pointed at cleaved sky
Basked inside the light that peeked through the crack of night
Let's fall asleep here
All alone, just you and me
 

The Great Lady

We need to talk, woman to woman,
let's get some things straight,
even if you don't like it, you must understand:
what's mine is mine and I won't let it go,
I'm going to fight for my honor,
I'm his lady and it has cost me a lot.
 
I don't know how did you enter the picture, I don't know when,
I don't know what did you give him in order to fool him,
but I will tell you one thing: there's three of us
and I don't like this little triangle.
You're going to understand and respect who I am,
if it's not by fair means, then it will come to blows.
 
It takes more than a pretty face,
it takes more than a stretch marks-free body,
it takes more than a lost mind
to be a intruder laughing at me.
Even if you're in the prime of your youth,
I've got more experience and the family is mine.
 
You're not going to steal from me what I've earned,
even if you're a intruder that offers herself to him.
He won't leave me, he know who is who,
I have the crown with his children,
so you better get someone else
because he's my man and I'm his great lady.

Farewell morning

We two in the farewell morning
We drank a cold red tea
We kissed goodbye
While we exchanged laughters
 
We two in the farewell morning
Opening a white door
Caryiing a little mistery to the station
Without saying anything we walked
 
Don't speak because the consolation
Calls for tears
Don't touch my fingers
Because my heart gets upset
 
Soon the train will part
I will remain alone
To the point of breaking I waved my hand
Looking to your eyes
 
Don't speak because the consolation
Calls for tears
Don't touch my fingers
Because my heart gets upset
 
Rururu.....
Looking to your eyes

Lamborghini

[Chorus: Gue Pequeno]
Bro I go around with italians, also africans and latinos
Arabs and also albanians, I'll buy a Lamborghini
I know good guys, and also some bents
Girls of all colors, I'll buy a Lamborghini
Armani jumpsuit, they load the Glock mini
120 miles per hour in Moscova, I'll buy a Lamborghini
I'll buy a Lamborghini, I'll buy a Lamborghini
I'll buy a Lamborghini, I'll buy a Lamborghini
 
[Verse 1: Gue Pequeno]
It's my wedding's day, today I get married with money
Money it's God to me, but to many it's the devil
I get phone calls from jail, like it's normal
I knock you out like Emel'janenko, your girl sucks not bad
At the Terminal 1 wait for me with a bag, the flight was endless
What detector, bro, at your concert I go with a shotgun under the raincoat
5 or 6K at Gucci: I was stoned with Blue Cheese
I'm sorry, bro, you're just a rapper
I'm OG, Bertolucci
 
[Chorus: Gue Pequeno]
Bro I go around with italians, also africans and latinos
Arabs and also albanians, I'll buy a Lamborghini
I know good guys, and also some bents
Girls of all colors, I'll buy a Lamborghini
Armani jumpsuit, they load the Glock mini
120 miles per hour in Moscova, I'll buy a Lamborghini
I'll buy a Lamborghini, I'll buy a Lamborghini
I'll buy a Lamborghini, I'll buy a Lamborghini
 
[Verse 2: Gue Pequeno]
Gue Pequeno get the money, aliens abducted me
I'm too far ahead for this, and keep these wallets full
I only sing in the mic, I eat voronoff beef
We don't know what to do with rap, bro I write letters to the jail
I'm friend with gruff dressed with burberry blouses and bitches down at Bulgari hotel
Bro 7 platinums with Santeria, my gang barbarians, infantry
Her pussy was so tight, like where you insert coins
My swag comes from another planet, gun and silky sheets
 
[Verse 3: Sfera Ebbasta]
At school i used to get D's, now I want a six 0s bill
You ain't shit today, uh, you weren't shit yesterday
Aventador in the street, I lose the cops, uh
Fuck the police, I don't wanna have problems
Lamborghini, Lamborghini, they go in with money, they go out with kilos
Tempura and Nigiri, I soak in the soy sauce these rappers
I eat them with chopsticks
From Ciny to Europe, your girl on the top
Your squad under that cries and begs
The G with the S more Tony than Sosa
BillionHeadzMoney rewrite history, uh, uh
 
[Chorus: Gue Pequeno]
Bro I go around with italians, also africans and latinos
Arabs and also albanians, I'll buy a Lamborghini
I know good guys, and also some bents
Girls of all colors, I'll buy a Lamborghini
Armani jumpsuit, they load the Glock mini
120 miles per hour in Moscova, I'll buy a Lamborghini
I'll buy a Lamborghini, I'll buy a Lamborghini
I'll buy a Lamborghini, I'll buy a Lamborghini
 

Not every man is a Señor

I came with a bouquet of roses
Took three steps at once.
I carry the noblest motives in the heart,
But I don't want to forget your favor.
 
All the men I know are lining up for you.
It takes a long time to find someone like me.
Fidelity isn't something I invented,
But I feel bound to you through it.
 
Be happy
That I like you, I don't just say it,
But honesty is rare,
Not every man is a Señor.
 
Be happy
Someone like me you won't find anywhere.
Don't imagine it['ll] be easy,
Not every man is a Señor.
 
The sky is suspended above me full of violins,
Life becomes a colorful dance.
I don't want to persuade you, just convince.
And whoever doesn't understand should keep quiet.
 
I did not invent fidelity,
But I feel bound to you through it.
 
Be happy
That I like you, I don't just say it,
But honesty is rare.
Not every man is a Señor.
 
Be happy
Someone like me you won't find anywhere.
Don't imagine it['ll] be easy,
Not every man is a Señor.
 
Be happy!
That I like you, I don't yet say it,
But honesty is rare.
Not every man is a Señor.
 
Be happy
Someone like me you won't find anywhere...
 

Lapislazuli Earth

'There isn't a night without a dawn'
You say in few words
At the cape where a lighthouse stands
I was watching the dark sea
There are days that I worry
And I get sad and disheartened
But because you came by my side
I could keep living
 
The dawn from the horizon
Shoots rays of light
And is wrapping us both
The Lapislazuli Earth
 
My tear-stained face becomes smiley
The tears of that moment
To the people of the whole world
I want to share with them
Competing and hearting each other
People are weak
However, the strength to love
Surely is expected to be
 
On the other side of the glass sea
The milky way spreads out
On a boat called Earth
We're all travellers
 
There's nothing but one
I want to protect our heavenly body
 
The dawn from the horizon
Shoots rays of light
And is wrapping us both
The Lapislazuli Earth
The Lapislazuli Earth

Bella Ciao

Today I will be different, I will tell you baby
O bella ciao, bella ciao,
Bella ciao, ciao, ciao
 
Today I will be different
I can do it too
Not to be innocent anymore
 
I will wear the most beautiful dress
O bella ciao, bella ciao,
Bella ciao, ciao, ciao
 
Let all the men
turn around today
I will flummox one of them
 
When he believes that I belong to him already
O bella ciao, bella ciao,
Bella ciao, ciao, ciao
 
After making love I will quickly disappear
So he can know what I feel
 
I don´t want to feel emotions anymore
O bella ciao, bella ciao,
Bella ciao, ciao, ciao
 
What is it good for
To suffer love
It is useless during lovemaking
 
Maybe I will hurt somebody a little
O bella ciao, bella ciao,
Bella ciao, ciao, ciao
 
But this is how it goes
You pay for mistakes
And rinse the sadness in a wine
 
I can easily disappear in a dark night
O bella ciao, bella ciao
Bella ciao, ciao, ciao
 
Don´t be afraid, my dear
I will come back then
I will be just a little docile
 
When I come home with a shy smile
O bella ciao, bella ciao,
Bella ciao, ciao, ciao
 
Why are you angry?
Why are you like that?
I will tell you, I´m just enjoying life
 
I am telling you sweetly just your own words:
Love can be free
 

I'll be waiting for you

I'll be waiting for you on the road towards the world,
On the road towards the sky will I be waiting for you...
On the untrodden ones, on the nameless ones,
On the one that bypasses, on the one that goes straight ahead,
I'll be waiting for you, my dear, I'll be waiting for you!...
 
I'll be waiting for you at the door of love
Like the starlit night which is waiting for its moon,
Ascend for me from any boundlessness
With the same everlasting heavenly steps...
 
I'll be waiting for you with a good morning,
With a beautiful sleep will I always be waiting for you...
My love to you is unforgettable from now on,
I feel the yearning in my chest and I want to cry,
I'll be waiting for you, my dear, I'll be waiting for you!...
 
I'll be waiting for you so long as the river will never know,
As the mountains will never realize,
The heart will become a poem,
A poem will become a waiting again.
 
Forests will fade, wells will dry up,
I'll be waiting for you, no season mattering...
Forgotten with a book in my hand somewhere,
Passed by time and broken negligently,
I'll be waiting for you, my dear, I'll be waiting for you!...

Poison

When you will stop the nonsense
Since we started it's always the same
Our relationship was a utopia
The utopia is you
On the outside you look like a princess
Into your castle I entered without remembering
That should I have thought
With the head, but the head
It left me
 
I just can't control you anymore
I can't stand you anymore
You are like poison
I touch you and I burn myself
I don't want to hide anymore
I don't want to defend you anymore
You are like poison
I touch you and I burn myself
 
Let me ask you a few things
Is it just with me or are you always like that?
I'm tired of your nonsense
Your nonsense, not for me
 
One day coming back home with nothing more
I didn't know what I was going to find
I can never erase
Seeing you in my bed jumping on top of
A stranger
Because you don't warn me and you lock yourself in
With the latch so that I don't have to have
Nightmares and forget that I met you
 

Beautiful disaster

I'm waking up in a pool of blood and have no idea why the policeman is staring at me
like I'm a monster who persecutes him in the nightmares every night
Where's my phone? It's just 3 early in the morning and I have to hear you even though I know
that you're someone else's wife, you trouble, sure you are
I crawl fucked up down the street, something is going to crash tonight
I see people wearing phantoms and sticks and gasoline
Where are you tonight, are you kissing him while thinking about me? Oh beautiful lady,
I know you're thinking about me,
'cause you are blocking my phone call and you are probably drunk like me
And I know that you're my trouble, just my trouble
 
Beautiful disaster,
trouble and the devil in love, dance with love and fear
Beautiful disaster,
there'll be love tonight, there'll be hurt ones tonight
 
The city in flames and I'm armed with rage and sadness
and ready to put out the fire with gasoline
I'm going to you, I carry gifts and unrest
You are the Queen who fucked up the universe
You are crazier than Hamlet when the wind blows,
I am crazier than a bastard on the Father's Day
And patience betrays, I'm fighting like a hick,
I will just try to call you one more time
even though I know there's no use in it
'Cause, you, trouble, are with him
and he has no idea you are in bed with me
And then, the fire will expand,
the riots will come up and the Hell will host us
My trouble, just my trouble
 
Beautiful disaster,
trouble and the devil in love, dance with love and fear
Beautiful disaster,
there'll be love tonight, there'll be hurt ones tonight
 

The Woman Textile Worker of December

If only I write down my obscure address
the blue sea pictures postcard would return.
 
Our past summer
We still didn't meet and talk about it
That promise turned into stars.
 
How much will I pray to come true?
When will we meet if I wait?
My heart needs you
I'm even wandering beyond the universe.
 
You resembled someone when I passed by
Suddenly I left my body with you.
 
I'm too busy at the town
Being lonely is sad
I dance with a snow powder, now it's December.
 
Is love a forgetful thing?
Is the gentle gesture also a lie?
My mind coldly grows numb
I can't be the person who is embracing you.
 
In the mirror, my thin neck back
Even if the evidence of love disappears
 
How much will I pray to come true?
When will we meet if I wait?
My heart needs you
I'm even wandering beyond the universe.
 
If I come in the next summer
believe that I will meet you
On that beach
believe that I will meet you...
 

They say you have a new guy

Good, you get it, good
no worries, I thought
we would watch that American film
but you already made plans
aha, good, good, that's cool
 
They say you have a new guy
I haven't seen him
but I know he's not bad
you always knew how to pick them
you always searched for an upgrade
 
They say you have a new guy
who after school picks you up in his car
and who looks down on us other guys
who also love you
they say, they say
 
You'll go with him to Jahorina
there it's happy and healthy, what could be better?
but I'll stay here in this dirty city
catching drops of rain in my mouth
 
They say you have a new guy
who perfectly fits
with your new bag
but when the bag goes out of style
will the same thing happen to him
that happened to me?
 
They say you have a new guy
who speaks articulately and smells fine
but what he doesn't know is that in your life
he's just a ladder, just another step you'll walk over
they say, they say
 

Little River Bird

Little bird, little bird
little river bird
what pretty eyes you have,
it's a shame they have an owner.
 
What little bird is that,
That sings in that lime tree?
Go tell him not to sing,
that it hurts my heart.
 
What little bird is that,
that sings in that fig tree?
Go tell him not to sing,
to wait until I die.
 
Take this little gold key,
Open my chest and you will see
How much I love you
and how badly you treat me.
 
Take this little gold box,
look at what it carries inside.
It carries jealousy, it carries sorrows,
and a litte bit of sentiment.
 
Now with this I say goodbye.
With my saddened soul
I sang you the sorrows
and hardships of my life.
 

Unless

I ask how's it going
You don't want to speak
There's an immense emptiness
You tell me hi
I don't want to respond
Our love is dying
I already don't know how to say
Why it happened
We're so different
I know, the end has arrived
Our love goes on forever.
 
Unless
we change our pride so as not to fight,
our egotism will separate us...
Unless... Unless...
Unless
We both try everything, everything to overcome,
I will see our life shatter...
Unless... Unless...
 
Already the night has arrived
I can no longer sleep
The cold solitude is killing me
You don't even want to see me
Nor do I try to understand
The fire that once existed is dying1
I wanted to converse
To say one more time:
'To say we love each other means to continue ahead'
But I know the end has arrived
Our love goes on forever.
 
Unless
we change our pride so as not to fight,
our egotism will separate us...
Unless... Unless...
Unless
We both try everything, everything to overcome,
I will see our life shatter...
Unless... Unless...
