The Old Man

One day I stumbled upon a serious old man
And he preached about how I have never worked in my life...
-Lucky young blood, everything you spend you found already made
In your age, I could get by just by breathing 1
 
All of you young people don't appreciate the food
Or the water we'd carry home to wash ourselves
Spoiled kids who haven't earned a drachma 2
How are you going to survive if we, old people, pass?
 
Step aside old man and mind your words when you speak
Life isn't just drachmas that you've been collecting your whole life
The more you learned to sell at your job
The more you love your pocket more than humans
 
If you'd been trying to fill up the piggy bank since you were a kid
And you had a dream to one day garner a fortune
Then you've never had eyes that can see clearly
And you've lived many years but none meaningfully.
 
Old man, you didn't become wise because you lived in the 60's
Neither did I find the light in a 90's screen.
I'll get where you are but you won't return to where I am,
And if I get lost in my path, it's my life's map.
 
Old man, even if you're a ruler or have strips on your shirt
They will burn to ashes, leaving this century.
I'll get where you are but you won't return to where I am,
And if I get lost in my path, it's my life's map.
 
You don't respect me kid and you pretend to know but you'll see
That what you are doesn't matter, only what you have does
There will come a day when you'll be using my words
Against the youngsters whose dishonesty you won't be able to stand.
 
All you old people were born in a time
When you were looking for things that we've already been given
That doesn't mean you have to guilt trip me
Because the farther back in time, the closer it gets to history's bottom. 3
 

• 1. I could feel full just by breathing/my breath was enough to satiate my hunger
• 2.
• 3. with each decade or generation, things get better so the farther back you go in time, the worse you'll find life was.

Festival of Saint Jerome

Festival of Saint Jerome

beneath a beautiful curtain
how the Ixtepecana1 sways her dress2
to the son3 of the Zandunga4,
your night is the lover of my song.5
 
Festival of Saint Jerome

the carving of the wax,6
the mayordomos7 and the corral

the enchantment of its castles9
and the happiness they'd bring when lit.10

the tossing of the fruit11
the fishermen12 and their offerings,

beneath an arbor13 tastes exquisite.

I shall never forget you
because your traditions
are of the people who live in me,

my sons are there, they're yours too.

the enchantment of its castles
and the happiness they'd bring when lit.

Love Now

There's no more time
For joy and tears
Love now, now
And there's no time in the bard
No time this way or that way
Love now, now
Time to dance
Time for decision-making
Love now, now
 
Who changed all of this for us
Our vulnerable dark days
Sparks landed on us
Curious light, I wandered away
And...with a weeping heart, I moved on
No matter where, your place is here
I'm waiting for you, you know
 
And there's no time
For psalms or limits, no
Whispering and preaching now
 
But who changed all of this for us
Our vulnerable dark days
Sparks landed on us
Curious light, I wandered away
And...with a weeping heart, I moved on
 
No matter where, your place is here
I'm waiting for you, you know
The echoes of voices in the distance
Love love love
I hear them wherever you are
And I'm waiting for you, you know
I'm waiting for you, you know
No matter where, your place is here
I'm waiting for you, you know
Yes, I'm waiting for you, you know
I'm waiting for you, you know
 

A Hero Of My Childhood Dreams

A hero of my childhood dreams
An asshole nemesis and a cause of girl's tears
Has grown up and does't want to kick the habit
Has grown up and does't want to kick the habit1
 
A hero of my childhood dreams
Has saved the Earth, then took off. Who is he now?
A hero of my childhood books is a drunk boor,
That walked in the door on the fifth try.
 
Believe it or leave it, my hero
Won't walk on water due to leaky feet.
A hero of my best days, he hasn't written to me.
Hasn't written to me.
 
Chorus
Regardless of me being off up there
Don't refer to him as 'mister', don't
Regardless of me being off up there
Don't refer to him as 'mister', don't
 
A hero of my childhood dreams charges more
Throws manure even further and for real
Laughs after the word 'shovel'
Who needs this? That's the question.
 
He has stole a steam train from my railways,
A hero of my childhood lines ... How could he?
A hero of my childhood rights is gone
Without telling me anything.
 
Chorus
Regardless of me being off up there
Don't refer to him as 'mister', don't
Regardless of me being off up there
Don't refer to him as 'mister', don't

Ballad of Felix Gallardo

They've dealt a huge blow
To the big traffickers
Caro Quintero1 is imprisoned
A famous trafficker
Also Ernesto Fonseca2
I'm going to tell you about the others
 
The Blue One, Esparragoza3
Quintero's boss
A Colombian also got caught
Ramon Matta Ballesteros 4
These four are now imprisoned
Under guard of the government
 
There was still left a big fish
Who didn't take the bait
This was a major mafia boss
Wanted all over the world
With disguises and bribes,
He mocked the government
 
Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo5
This trafficker is named
King of cocaine and morphine
Opium6 and marijuana
Last April 87
He was imprisoned in Guadalajara8
 
Gallard, also known as The Sandal
It's said that he was the supreme
Boss of the traffickers
Of the Mexican nation
He sent drugs as far as Europe
And to the American Union9
 
Nightclubs and hotels
Ranches and private runways
Property of Miguel Angel
Where the money was laundered
Also the suite in Montreal10
Was now found confiscated
 
Gallardo has been in the underworld
No doubt the supreme boss
Measured on the scales
In money like no one else
He had bought the leaders
Highest in the government
 
State of Sinaloa11
Goodbye beautiful border
Hideout of many dealers
Who are imprisoned for weed
May God not abandon them
And have mercy in their convictions

Cast a Spell

Cast a spell, turn back time, where we held hands and walked together with full of warmth
 
A memory just like yesterday and long-lost warmth coincide right here
 
What could I call a feeling like this?
I murmured to myself as I looked at the sky
 
If I could go back to those days, I know you’d end up walking away
 
In hope that I could convey how I fell for you more than before, here’s why
 
Cast a spell, turn back time, where we would've held hands and walked together
I tried holding out my hand toward the sky but I couldn’t even touch yours
 
If we were in a different position then, what would I do?
Surely I’d have nothing to hide like you did
 
I’d tell you my everything was coming to an end somewhere down the line
 
And on top of that I’d spend out the rest of my time for you
 
Cast a spell, turn back time, where we would've held hands and walked together
I tried calling out your name toward the sky but you wouldn’t even call mine
 
Cast a spell, turn back time, where we would've held hands and walked together
I tried praying toward the sky countless times and nothing else came to reality
Nothing remained but your voice, your warmth and a memory of you

Universe

Oh it's so good to be under the universe
Staring at the open with you
The moon and stars witness the love
Of the two us
Of the two of us
 
I can still see you, love
You're like a star shining from afar
Everytime I'm with you
The road brightens because of the light in your eyes
 
When I'm with you, my heart won't rest
The night becomes sweet whenever I hold your hand
 
Oh it's so good to be under the universe
Staring at the open with you
The moon and stars witness the love
Of the two us
Of the two of us
 
The breeze of air that is refreshing to the body
Is still no match for the heat that I feel
Whenever we are worlds apart
One look at the moon and I'm already close to you
 
The sky is smiling, waiting for the moment
The whole surrounding awaits for our kiss
 
Oh it's so good to be under the universe
Staring at the open with you
The moon and stars witness the love
Of the two us
Of the two of us
 
Oh it's so good to be under the universe
Staring at the open with you
The moon and stars witness the love
Of the two us
Of the two of us

Join me to stare into space

I Wait For My Chance

When you're born, you have a role
One that some roll with and some just stare at
I should've been the star
But I haven't come out on stage yet
And I'm still waiting
 
You feel that great passion
You know you'll be the center of attention
With your heart pounding
It's time for the big truth
I wait for my chance
 
It's already late
My turn has already passed
I know what must be done
But I'm still waiting
Living in the dark
I wait for my chance
 
I only wait for a moment
Just a moment to shine like the sun
I've always felt like a star
But nobody payed attention to me
Only to me, never to me
 
No, there are no tears
My turn has passed
Nobody's here anymore
But I'm still waiting
Only me and my truth
I wait for my chance
 

To an Orange Tree and a Lemon Tree

Potted orange tree, how sad is your luck!
Your feeble leaves are shaking in fear.
Courted orange tree, how it hurts to see
your deadened, coarse, and 1 little trees!
 
Poor lemon tree with yellow fruit
like a polished bouquet of waxy pale,
little tree, how sad it is to see you
grow in a cheap and wooden barrel!
 
From the brightened forests of Andalucia,
Who brought you to this Castillian land
that the winds of the grim sierra pick up,
children of the fields of my own land?
 
The glory of the orchards, the lemon tree,
the fruits of pale gold you brighten
and of the black stark cypress grove,
silent prayers erected in chorus you lighten
 
From the lovely yard, the fresh orange tree
of the cheerful field and the dreamy orchard
ever in my ripened or florid memory
laden with branches, scents and fruits!
 

• 1. Actual trees cannot be wrinkled, but coarse.

Don't ever go without an I love you

If, when you cried, your tears came out dry
If you lost a battle, now there are wars to win
If you have lost your principles, go to a store and buy some more
If you have lost a friend, you can always make some more
 
But in the end, my friend, you don't have to lose now
To heal from your life, there is only one thing you need
 
To be happy, get up and fall again
For when you stumble, you advance more
If they push you, you'll go faster
And you can breathless
Waterless, homeless
But you can never go without an 'I love you' when you wake up
 
If you're tempted by absurd generosity, sharing is having less, don't be fooled
 
Everything in life is secondary, everything except love
Loneliness, I swear it's the worst of all ills
 
To be happy, get up and fall again
For when you stumble, you advance more
If they push you, you'll go faster
And you can breathless
Waterless, homeless
But you can never go without an 'I love you' when you wake up
 
To be happy, get up and fall again
For when you stumble, you advance more
If they push you, you'll go faster
And you can breathless
Waterless, homeless
But you can never go without an 'I love you' when you wake up
 

BWV 248 Christmas Oratorio VI, Recitative T: Then Herod secretly summoned the Wisemen.

Recitative T B (Mt. 2, 7-8)
Evangelist
Then Herod secretly summoned the Wisemen,
and with diligence he learned from them
when the star was to appear.
And he sent them forth to Bethlehem and said:
Herod
Go there and look diligently for the baby,
and when you find him, bring me word,
that I as well may come and worship him.

Heat Haze Daze

August 15th at about 12 past noon
The weather was nice
In the sunlight so bright its enough to make me ill
And because I had nothing to do I was talking nonsense with you
 
'Well, I kinda hate the summertime' As you pet a cat
You muttered such a daring thing right under your breath
Ah, As the cat ran away you tried to chase after it
Jumping right in front of a traffic light that changed to red!
 
Jumping out and running over you, that truck heard a scream and cry as it went by
The colour of the blood splatter mixing with the smell of you was choking me
Is this some sort of lie? The heat is mocking me 'What you see isn't a lie!'
 
The dazzling light blue summer sky and the stirring whistling cicada cries I fall into a deep sleep
 
I opened my eyes to the hand of a clock resounding through my bed
What time is it now?
August 14th pointing past 12 am
And the annoying sound of the cicadas still sing loudly in my head
 
But hey, isn't it a little strange?
Because I remember last night I had a dream we were at this park
'I think we should go home now' But the moment I stepped off the path
Everyone around us was looking up with open mouths
 
An iron pillar fell down and pieced you straight through
The sound of screaming cries and wind chimes rang through the trees and the sky
It seems like the heat is mocking me 'What you see is not a dream!'
As my vision faded away I swear I could see your face smiling
 
No matter how many times the world is dazzling the heat just mocks and steals me away
This has been happening for the past ten years, my mind noticed it long ago
But if it's such a frequent story then surely there must be an end
Beyond those repeating summer days
 
I jumped out and pushed you aside so the truck hit me instead of you
The colour of blood splatter diffuses the jarring reflections on your eyes and body
The heat simply says 'What a sorry sight' as it laughs at me
Surely this frequent summer day
Can finally end here
 
A girl wakes up on a bed on August 14th
Repeating the same
'Guess I failed again,' she said all alone with a cat cradled in her arms
 

Panfilo's Teeth

[Don Octavio:]
Come on boys, it's getting closer to Christmas, Christmas, Christmas.
Make your requests, time is running out, running out, running out.
 
[Anacleto:]
This year I want Santa Claus to bring me
A bicycle that goes really fast.
 
[Demetrio:]
That's great, Anacleto! And you'll lend it to me, yes?
 
[Anacleto:]
And you, Demetrio, what are you going to ask for?
 
[Demetrio:]
I want him to bring me skates and a plane, a plane, a plane.
Also a toy car and if he can a ball, a ball, a ball.
But even more I would like some boxing gloves
To hit Panfilo, for evil and abuse. (Heh heh heh)
 
[Panfilo:]
Hey, hey! What's your problem with me? Deal with him, get going.1
 
[Don Octavio:]
Panfilo, don't be a hothead!
 
[Panfilo:]
All me, all me. He was the one who started it.
They already had a problem with me a few days ago, this one and Anacleto.
 
[Don Octavio:]
You must have done something to them, Panfilo.
 
[Panfilo:]
They've been teasing me because my teeth in front here fell out.
 
[Don Octavio:]
Don't pay attention to them. Let's see, what do you want for Christmas?
 
[Panfilo:]
Well that.
 
[Don Octavio:]
What?
 
[Panfilo:]
My teeth.
 
[Don Octavio:]
Your teeth?
 
[Panfilo:]
All I want for Christmas, Christmas, Christmas.
Are my little teeth that I lost by shedding, by shedding, by shedding.
Because toothless like this I can't chew,
My air comes out when I want to whistle.
 
Earnestly, I'm asking Santa Claus, Santa Claus, Santa Claus
To bring me teeth, I need two, I'm missing two, I'm missing two.
They're right in front and it looks like a huge window.
And my little brothers start making fun of me.
 
Gosh, and it makes me angry
 
[Demetrio:]
Haha, Panfilo is toothless. (Heh heh heh)
What a beautiful little window you've got, Panfilo.
 
[Panfilo:]
Oh, you'll both pay me back when you lose your teeth
That is, if I don't knock them out before then.
 
[Don Octavio:]
Panfilo, hothead!
 
[Demetrio:]
Toothless!
 
[Panfilo:]
Your grandpa's toothless!
 
[Don Octavio:]
Panfilo!
 
[Panfilo:]
Don't yell at me, Guerrero!2
 
I don't want toys, Sir Mister Santa Claus, Santa Claus, Santa Claus
Bring me my teeth, I want them both of them, I want both, I want them both.
So I can eat carnitas3, corn on the cob, and chicharron.4
I myself prefer my teeth over a toy car and a ball.
 
I'm so hungry, buddy!
Huh, the rest are already falling out!
 

• 1. The form of this verb shows that it's an usted imperative, meaning Panfilo is giving these orders to Don Octavio.
• 2. Lalo Guerrero is the voice of Don Octavio, so Panfilo is breaking the fourth wall here.
• 3. A Mexican dish involving strips of braised or roasted pork.
• 4. A Spanish dish made from fried pork.

DISTURBO

The sad intersection
The extreme pain is keeping me
From progressing. I am being coerced and feeling dizzy
 
Have I learnt my lesson to fight on?
Will I be able to cross over that wall?
Maybe I will know the answers
 
Fly away. My wishes will pile up I will move ahead without forgetting
Towards the far away sky
Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.
The tables are turned on the obstacles
We do disturb you!!!!!
 
As I thirst
I surrender power in my dreams
To be outnumbered doesn't mean that I will lose
Don't be scared
 
The place that I am standing right now
Even if I am living a painful life
I wish to be free
 
Throw out ambitions in this world that wants to obstruct you
Even if it is out of control
Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.
The youngsters will somehow dominate the elders
 
This way rather than losing to someone
I want to protect the people who are important to me
I swear to fulfill that desire
 
Fly away. My wishes will pile up I will move ahead without forgetting
The path is not important
The tables are turned on the obstacles
We do disturb you!!!!!

Filmski heroji

Svi su sanjari i svi su zvezde
I svi su u filmovima, nebitno ko ste
Ima zvezda u svakom gradu
U svakoj kući i u svakoj ulici
I ako prođeš Holivud Bulevarom
Njihova imena su napisana u betonu!
 
Nemoj stati na Gretu Garbo dok hodaš Bulevarom
Izgleda tako slabo i lomljivo, zato se i trudila toliko
Ali su je učinili princezom
Postavili je na tron
Ali ona je okrenula leđa slavi
Jer je htela da bude sama
 
Možeš videti sve zvezde dok hodas Holivud Bulevarom
Neke koje prepoznaješ, neke za koje si samo čuo
Ljudi koji su radili i patili i mučili se za slavu
Neki koji su uspeli i neki koji su se mučili uzalud
Rudolf Valentino, izgeda veoma živo
I gleda u damske haljine dok one tužno prolaze pored njega
Izbegni da staneš na Belu Lugosi
Jer se može oktenuti i ugristi te
Ali stani veoma blizu Bet Dejvis
Jer je njn život bio veoma usamljen
Ako ga prekriješ smećem
Džordž Sanders bi idalje imao stila
I ako bi gazio po Mikiju Runiju
On bi se idalje okrenuo i nasmejao
Ali molim te ne gazi na najdražu Merilin
Jer ona nije veoma čvrsta
Ona bi trebalo da je napravljena od gvožđa i čelika
Ali je bila napravljena samo od krvi i mesa
 
Možeš videti sve zvezde dok hodas Holivud Bulevarom
Neke koje prepoznaješ, neke za koje si samo čuo
Ljudi koji su radili i patili i mučili se za slavu
Neki koji su uspeli i neki koji su se mučili uzalud
 
Svi su sanjari i svi su zvezde
I svi su u šoubiznisu, nebitno ko ste
 
I oni koji su uspešni
Uvek budite na oprezu
Uspeh hoda ruku pod ruku sa neuspehom
Na Holivud Bulevaru
 
Voleo bih da je moj život bio non stop Holivudski film
Svet fantazija filmskih zločinaca i heroja
Jer filmski heroji nikad ne osećaju nikakav bol
I filmski heroji zapravo nikad ne umru
 
Možeš videti sve zvezde dok hodas Holivud Bulevarom

Heads or tails

how might you be,
my life
 
Oh, no no no
floating in the air
and you turn away
like flwers
oh, no no no
like feathers in the air
taken away, we are alone
 
Where might you be,

how might you be,

Oh, no no no

Na na
Naina, na na
Na na
Naina, na na
'If you make him cry'
Air, we are air

only air
 
'And don't make him cry'
heads or tails
I quietly come back
'cause what I'm looking form by now
it's already far.

As you love me
Well, you know, life
Is not a game.
 
T'morrow
In the wee hours
We shall stay here
To have some love
 
A blue and / red necklace on her bare breasts
A kerchief round her head
One could see / a bangle on her ankle
Ready to Travel/ round the World
 
Kiss me
As you love me
Please do not go
Smile a little
 
Kiss me
As you love me
Tell me goodbye
But not farewell
 
One could see / the American flag
On her old /worn-out bag
And a pair / of valueless blue-jeans
Yet I Guess/ that I liked them well
 

Yes, I Want to Come Back

Asking about you, I realized everything
That you still love me, that you still love me
Asking about you
I knew you cry
That you cry, you cry for me
 
I didn't want to know more
But in my heart
Unintentionally, it was born
Once again, my love
 
And now I want to see you
I just want to know
Why you cheated on me, why you mocked me and left with him
 
By God, I want to see you
I want to see you
May my pride break if you ask me to
Yes I want to come back
 
I didn't want to know more
But in my heart
Unintentionally, it was born
Once again, my love
 
And now I want to see you
I just want to know
Why you cheated on me, why you mocked me and left with him
 
By God, I want to see you
I want to see you
May my pride break if you ask me to
You are my queen
And yes I want to come back (yes I want to come back)
 

The Garden on a Friday

Versions: #1
Does it have to be that hard?
Where do I have to stand to skip the line
to the garden on a Friday?
 
''Are they even from this town?''
I hear someone say and I hope they will leave
The light colors everything pink
 
I lie too badly
Can't look tough
Have my hand in my hair
 
The night turns to day but everyone remains
They have their ID in their hand, looking down, no one gets picked
We should leave but everyone remains
They have glitter on their cheek, looking down, all in a line
Till the night turns to day
 
Underneath the bridge there's hope
Meet whoever you want except me
and then you laid your hand on my shoulder
''You look pretty in neon lights'', you said and I think I smiled
and answered quickly
Please bring me far from all the guards
 
I started to get foggy
To crash is cheap but a bit too indie
 
The night turns to day but everyone remains
They have their ID in their hand, looking down, no one gets picked
We should leave but everyone remains
They have glitter on their cheek, looking down, all in a line
Till the night turns to day
 
The clock is eleven
Do you think they heard?
Ashamed but I ask
''Please let me go ahead, before the night is over''
but I don't think they heard
 
The night turns to day but everyone remains
They have their ID in their hand, looking down, no one gets picked
We should leave but everyone remains
They have glitter on their cheek, looking down, all in a line
Till the night turns to day
 

Lucifer, That Day

Versions: #1
Lucifer, on that day,
just as you would have,
that malicious air
to the afterlife returns!
 
Those weary sighs,
are like a cruel celebration
like that which awaits
in Heaven.
 
Dead, is that fierce desire,
now, more than a year has passed...
love is a fleeting dream.
Oh, Lady!
my life runs out,
oh, Lady!
now the light kills me.
Dead, is that fierce desire...
trembling all over, what do I hope for?
 
She - the venomous one - slithers [away],
she springs out of bed,
she smooths her scales,
without making sound.
 
The false lover
embraces me in vain,
may the heart drip,
for the sky is empty.1
 
Dead, is that fierce desire,

Oh, Lady!

• 1. I think this part is supposed to me 'May my heart provide the [rain] for an empty sky. The act of dripping could be that of crying, now that [he/they] know their lover has been deceiving them.

The Things I'm Not Waiting For

Versions: #1
Surprised at the centre of a storm,
the volume loud inside my head.
My ideas are smoke,
flames of a fire that is only mine.
And if by chance I find you around those seas
sailing your dream until you reach it
with no need for you to say anything,
I'll stay to keep you company.
I can only look at the same spot
where you're looking at,
and thus I start to think
that I've already won
by convincing you that you're great.
Like the things I'm not waiting for.
Like that 'Thank you' that is so truthful.
Like the sincere embrace you give me
with nothing in return.
Like the perfume of a surprise,
or the hope that clings onto something.
Any place where I'm with you,
I'm at home.
Like the September sun
scorching Rome,
the snowy station
when it sticks out
or like those who shout and clap their hands
'cause they're the best at a concert.
I can only return to the same spot
where you want me to.
What is mine is yours, I assure you that.
I gave you everything
because you're great.
Like the things I'm not waiting for.
Like that 'Thank you' that is so truthful.
Like the sincere embrace you give me
with nothing in return.
Like the perfume of a surprise,
or the hope that clings onto something.
I'm defeating you, convincing you
that you're great!
That you're great!
Like the things I'm not waiting for.
Like that 'Thank you' that is so truthful.
Like the sincere embrace you give me
with nothing in return.
Like the perfume of a surprise,
or the hope that clings onto something,
that's why anywhere I'm with you,
I feel at home.
 

Anti hero

I'm just an antihero, you're good
Your humble soul wants more
All that gave you - destroyed
You lead me dear to the past
 
Pretending to love is not difficult for me
Avoiding all the ways where you are like the moon
Lighted me the way that made
Us to the cliff and on all over again
 
Where are you? Where are you? Where I am?
Tired so measure the ways
Waited so long to trust her
The laws of the song, together we have enough strength
Go go go go
 
I searched so much, but did not replace
Time timer presses down
Lost something, found something
In the maze of these individuals
 
But no, but no, but no
Replaced her definitely not
Moon light day
Moon light day
 
I see outside the window,
outside the window, outside the rain
Wait too long, wait long
But wait for me
 
I'm just an antihero, you're good
Your humble soul wants more
All that gave you - destroyed
You lead me dear to the past
 
Pretending to love is not difficult for me
Avoiding all the ways where you are like the moon
Lighted me the way that made
Us to the cliff and on all over again
 

Romantic night

Tonight my wife is with her friends,
it's gonna be a rather melancholic night.
I drink a tonic, I play videopoker
I take a stroll among the shops downtown,
then I stumble on a sign that reads:
'Romantic massage
for a romantic night'
such a nice little place,
with those dim lights.
Romantic massage
for a romantic night
a really nice little place,
feels like I am in Beijing!
I go in and they smile at me,
I lie naked on the table
they rub my whole body,
then they give me a wink
and they whisper in my ear:
'You want lomantic massage
fol a lomantic night?'
I'm caught off guard:
how will I explain it to my wife,
about your romantic mass-ah-ah-age
in this romantic ni-ih-ih-ight
but I do appreciate this thing - yes. you bet!
although it comes with a surcharge - go on, don't stop!
Bring on the romantic mass-ah-ah-age
bring on the romantic ni-ih-ih-ght
I'm starting to feel the results
of this expert friction! - keep it up, keep it up!
Bring on the romantic mass-ah-ah-age
bring on the romantic ni-ih-ih-ght!...
How remarkable China is,
in the art of
handling.
 

Oh Nero Nero

Oh Nero Nero, where do you go?
Oh, betrayer of my life,
you ruined my life and our love will never come back
you ruined my life and our love will never come back
 
You ruined my brothers,
you ruined my sisters,
they had curly hair, they were handsome and our love will never come back
they had curly hair, they were handsome and our love will never come back
 
I was sitting on a little bridge,
I was near my home.
I got a coffee at Lucia's place, I found a squad and got arrested
I got a coffee at Lucia's place, I found a squad and got arrested
 
The one who arrested me was a true friend,
his name was Nero [Black]
I thought he was sincere, but that coward ruined me.
I thought he was sincere, but that coward ruined me.
 
He ruined me to an end,
to take my darling,
but if I ever get out of this cell, I will have my revenge
but if I ever get out of this cell, I will have my revenge.
 
My revenge was right and sacred,
three stabs from my knife,
I sent him to the hospital and rest assured, he won't get out
I sent him to the hospital and rest assured, he won't get out.
 
There was a trial in the courthouse,
my mama was there,
and the judge, that rat, sentenced me to twenty-one years
and the judge, that rat, sentenced me to twenty-one years.
 
But I can't afford to lose twenty-one years,
my youth is hardly anything
but I have my dear old mama
she will die and I will never see her again,
but I have my dear old mama
she will die and I will never see her again.

Plamen Ljubavi

Izlazi Mesec, /skriveni/
Mesec, mesečina
Vedra je noć,
Prozori se već otvaraju
Fantazija,
Veličanstveno je mama
Sve svetluca,
Ptice pevaju u planini
Zvezdice trepere.
 
Refren:
Dan sviće,
Dan sviće, majko.
Svetlost obasijava
maslinjake.
 
Eh, šta ako mi on kaže da
Eh, čta ako mi on kaže ne
Hoću da ga volim kao
Kao što nikad nisam
Moja vatra ljubavi plamti
Patim i tugujem /od ljubavi /
za tobom, / najcrnje /
srce moje
 
Lepršava kao morski vali
Vatra ljubavi
Na jednoj marami izvezeno
Svilenim koncem
Svilenim koncem, mama
Na jednom šesiru
U jednoj traci piše:
,,Za tebe ću umreti,,
 
Refren:
Moja ljubavi, plamti ljubavi,
Zbog tebe patim i tugujem
Crno, najcrnje, srce moje.
 

From zero

Girl, so long
What are you doing?
What about your life?
 
They say that you are suffering
I believe I have
An exit
 
When we leave pride
And the barriers between you and me
We release the bad
We invented a sunset
Without mind I will give myself
We forget the past
 
And we started from zero
We both gave ourselves another chance
Better let's leave the stupidity
'Cause love comes only once
 
We started from zero
We both gave ourselves another chance
Better let's leave the stupidity
'Cause love comes only once
 
And my bad, my bad
I am yours, baby, and you are mine
Let's leave this behind because it's nonsense
And forget all the fears, don't cry
 
And my bad, my bad
I am yours, baby, and you are mine
Let's leave this behind because it's nonsense
And forget all the fears, don't cry
 
Let's live to the maximum
Life is short and you are a gift
What if we kiss each other soft
And we're going on a trip to infinity
 
Let's live to the maximum
Life is short and you are a gift
What if we kiss each other soft
And we're going on a trip
 
Can we accept all of our differences
And put aside all of the pettiness
Just forget, not regret
I’ll take you anywhere you wanna go
I got so much I want to show
Let’s restart and we’ll go far…
 
And we started from zero
We both gave ourselves another chance
Better let's leave the stupidity
'Cause love comes only once
 
We started from zero
We both gave ourselves another chance
Better let's leave the stupidity
'Cause love comes only once
 
Let's live to the maximum
Life is short and you are a gift
What if we kiss each other soft
And we're going on a trip to infinity
 
Let's live to the maximum
Life is short and you are a gift
What if we kiss each other soft
And we're going on a trip
 
And we started from zero
We both gave ourselves another chance
Better let's leave the stupidity
'Cause love comes only once
 
We started from zero
We both gave ourselves another chance
Better let's leave the stupidity
'Cause love comes only once

Oh, to me, to you, something may happen to us
I don't know the reason, it may make me tired
It may ask the question that comes to my mind
Oh, to me, to you, something may happen to us
I don't know the reason, it may make me tired
It may ask the question that comes to my mind
 
Neighborhoods are on fire every night
Ask it to our boys until the morning
The children who guard,
took a saucepan with full of rice from aunties
18 years old, riding Mercedes
His opponent can never beat him
Today may have tomorrow
But nobody can promise me
Thank God
I'm successful now, no matter what
I stay the same, you know?
Make people look at my wealth
I stay cool and live my life
Everything comes from heart and soul
God sees, dude, no need to talk
Bills are getting counted in the white coupe
 
We paid the price, while we were burning inside
burning, burning, burning
It makes bleed on purpose
Bleed, bleed, Mero hits the vein again*
 
Oh, to me, to you, something may happen to us
I don't know the reason, it may make me tired
It may ask the question that comes to my mind
Oh, to me, to you, something may happen to us
I don't know the reason, it may make me tired
It may ask the question that comes to my mind
 
I thank my God
I even got a gun, I shoot your heart
Write again,a new composition, you also have flow and voice
Call me Mero or Enes
They swear but I don't give a fuck
Mero shoots again, father, no miss
They say 'Give up!' but I won't
Fuck you Swag and fuck your American style
It is not easy to live in a ghetto
Your Maybach doesn't work, because I don't have time for this
Okay, my Rolex is shining
How can it help me when I can't see my mother?
I gave my voice to streets
Everything may happen, look what happened
This song is my answer to who makes me tired
Huh, this is the difference of Mero
 
We paid the price, while we were burning inside
burning, burning, burning
It makes bleed on purpose
Bleed, bleed, Mero hits the vein again*
 
Oh, to me, to you, something may happen to us
I don't know the reason, it may make me tired
It may ask the question that comes to my mind
Oh, to me, to you, something may happen to us
I don't know the reason, it may make me tired
It may ask the question that comes to my mind
 

Born to Love

Pursuing an emotion
To the point where you find out
Where it is born and where it will go
 
And let it go with you
Beyond all the fears
That those who have already suffered have
 
And yes and no and then I don't know
 
We are born to love
To defend ourselves and dream
And change reality
 
And yes and no and then I don't know
 
There is a treasure to be found
A life to learn
Beyond the difficulties
 
And with you, I feel like
I'm freed from the fears
That those who have loved so much have
 
And yes and no and then I don't know
 
We are born to love
To defend ourselves and dream
And change reality
 
And yes and no and then I don't know
 
Our hands tighten
All that we are
Me and you
As seagulls fly
Beyond the barriers
Me and you
 
And yes and no and then I don't know
 
We are born to love
To defend ourselves and dream
And change reality
 
And yes and no and then I don't know
 
We were born to hear
Every heartbeat
And change reality
 
And yes and no and then I don't know
 

Lioness

Versions: #2
You're a slave, you keep your heart in a dungeon
Shackled in old lies
You hide the keys behind bars
Be brave, let me tear these ropes apart
Let me heal what hurts
Let me kill the fear that plagues, that doesn't let you breathe
 
I'm a lioness that fights
With fists and nails and teeth
I'll bleed for you if I have to
I'm a lioness that doesn't know
Fear once she loves
And once she gives her last breath to you
 
You're not alone, at least once we've all been betrayed
A piece of sky for a piece of misery
Is an offer given from god
You're hungry, but scared of the bread of love
The thirst is turning your soul to dust
I am water, take me
Take me and drink
 
I'm a lioness that fights
With fists and nails and teeth
I'll bleed for you if I have to
I'm a lioness that doesn't know
Fear once she loves
And once she gives her last breath to you
 
I'm a lioness that fights
I'm a lioness that fights
A lioness that doesn't surrender
 
I'm a lioness that fights
With fists and nails and teeth
I'll bleed for you if I have to
I'm a lioness that doesn't know
Fear once she loves
And once she gives her last breath to you
