With a Hung Head

Summertime giants leaning over the water
Chestnuts, birches, poplars and acacias
Tell me stories!
 
Tell me that I used to have a sweetheart!
I would cry but I'm ashamed of my tears
Tell me stories!
 
I have to tell you something
I have to confess something
I can not live on my own
 
I have to tell you something
I have to confess something
I can not live on my own
 
The water flows so lazily now
Nobody's telling me where my journey will take me
Help me!
 
Slowly, my tears fall into the old river
And maybe my painful years will come to an end
It'll bring me a new dream

Yesterday I had a drink at FSB general home

Yesterday I had a drink at * FSB general home
Like all his place he was mighty and tall
I drank in the pool, office, spa, shooting gallery and so on
I've appreciated the porcelain of his Japanese toilet bowl

'Are you really singing?'- 'Yes, I kind of try'
'Your colleagues are garbage and pederasts
This humor I would've collected once in gulag's paradise
And you're not too bad, talented and wearing glasses

And you're not too bad, bespectacled, pour some more for us'
 
'Well, son, let's raise the glasses for *V V, hooray!
Though, of course, he also frazzle out us all
We have everything: summer villas, guards, respect and money,
But I would like for our country to bloom under the strict control

'Yes, thank God, democracy has gone,
Common, lets drink, so Russia would flourish and faith would sing!'
After the fifth glass I grew bolder, and asked:
'Who worked and pay for the mansion?'
'None of your bloody business', he answered very grim

We drank for Chechnya and for Afghan,
With vodka came the hugs and pickled mushrooms, to no surprise
And I thought, bespectacled, meek and poor veteran:
' Among the generals there are some cool guys'

By morning he was sobbing openly and sad
He either put me against the wall, or was telling fortune on United Russia party card,
But, luckily, I didn't tell you the most horrible and main secret,
After all, I have my own family and kids in Volgograd

There Goes the General

From Yucapuca the General left,
His General Staff accompanied him,
he was forced by the intense cold
to go to San Rafael.
He arrived at the home of Blanca Aráuz,
telegraphist of that town.
And on the same day as his birthday,
right on the eighteenth of May,
at dawn he swore to be faithful to her.
 
He wore high boots and a
brown gabardine uniform,
she in a veil and dressed in white,
the most beautiful flower of San Rafael.
 
The church smelled of pine blossoms,
and though his troops did not participate,
throughout the town they fired
the Battalion's carbines.
 
Two days later
he had to leave for Las Segovias
where he was burried.
She was still in white, it was her duty,
but all her love
always went with him.
 
And there goes the General with his Battalion,
red and black neckerchief worn on his neck,
towards Chipotón.
And there goes the General down to Estelí,
'Fatherland or death!'
repeat the peasants of Wiwilí.1
And there goes the General with his decision:
with his brave men
to cleanse Nicaragua of its Invader.
 
And there goes the General
with his General Staff...

Generale

General from the transitor
I hear it shouting 'order, strictness!'
But you know that where you're sitting
Nobody asks for help, and there's not a single mine
And generals polish their medals
And their blood is as cold as reptile's
But I'm the one who crawls between scrubs
And looks up-close at how bullets fly
And behind the hill, I wish you knew
It's so cold that you'd freeze
And there's a rifle shots
guys's screams, days that have been lost
and shattered glass music
Peasant, you wouldn't give me this dance
I have a uniform different from your brothers',
that have already been gone for a year, and that won't come back
Different's the flag and the same are the burdens
And those who say that I hate you, what do they know?
What do they even know?
 
And the most terrible thing about war
Is that it's wonderful even if millions die
With dads a seven metres underground
And with sons make songs about them
 
General, it's been so long
But when I think back to it I still cry
I still have that taste of burning in my mouth
I remember friends with their faces down in mud
And a train that left full but returned empty
In the mornings I shiver when I sleep little
I dream of a black sky from which rains fire
And barbed wire that slowly wraps me
And blocks me, tears me apart, goes in my mouth,
chokes me, the air's toxic
Like when a bomb fell to the ground and I waited for the next one
and the next one, and the next one, and the next one
And a dull peasant
waits by the door like a little girl
for a brother that left early in the morning and headed to the hill
And behind the hill a trasitor crackled
On a day in April
But I had already tossed the rifle
I had already tossed the rifle

To Paris, to NYC or to Milano
And she turned into a good girl just for you
But I'll pretend that I didn't hear the following-
With money but without love, you still don't earn anything
 
Rocco Barocco, Prada, Valentino,
King of Monaco, try me on then buy me.
John Galliano, Fendi, Moschino
You're imagining it like it's on a movie screen.
 
Nino Cerruti, Roberto Cavalli,
I want something else, don't you understand
I want to fall in love for free,
(It's going to be very expensive for you)
 
Chorus:
If I was your wife, 'til now, you would've been like tranquil water
You would've been wrapped around my pinky finger if I was your wife
You should've died - burnt down, after a thousand nights combined in one
You should've known - even if you're the king,
when I'm around, I'm in charge
 
Don't even try to look, I'm not on the menu
I've already heard enough of you
I'm giving you 5 mins to impress me,
otherwise, someone else will have me.

I am here, General

He lived in was laid to rest,
that Dorado1 went weeping to his grave,
and he demonstrated that he would never forget him
by engraving: 'I am here, General' there.
 
That faithful friend that Pancho Villa
had as his personal guard,
and that for him he would have given his life2
when they assassinated him in his hometown of Parral.
 
He went to the highest mountain of .
because the government didn't want him on the firing squad wall,
he told the goldfinches and mockingbirds
of his struggles against the forces of .
 
And there he returned to be executed
since the federal government couldn't find him,
and he lived because they pardoned him
but remained forgotten and lost in my country.
 
From the events that came to pass in Potosí3
that Dorado will never return,
only the memory of his loyalty and discipline
he left engraved in a grave in Parral.
 
I've sung to you all now, goodbye Tomás Urbina
for all have forsaken you and there you will see
that you'll met the same fate as Pancho Villa,
where sweet little birds will come to weep for you.
 

• 1. Refers to 'Tomás Urbina Reyes'. A dorado = lit. 'The Golden One' - Villa and the Dorados, “the golden Ones”, his ferocious cavalry would attack, firing accurately at a full gallop from their charging horses in the style of warfare perfected by the Apache and Comanches who the Dorados’ fathers had fought a generation earlier.

A General Without Ranks

Life gave me just a few slaps
Luck erased me from it's adress book
I changed the world
Corrected crooked paths
 
Heart led me, people used to call me restlessness
Love threw me where the space is darkest
I changed the stars
Each day a different country, town
 
A general without ranks
For the touch of those palms
I would now give my life
For peace
 
A rose without a root
My murdered love
I breathe so I'd wipe your tears
And kiss your soul with my lips
Because you're all the best of me
 
Heart led me, people used to call me restlessness

A rose without a root
My murdered love
I breathe so I'd wipe your tears
And kiss your soul with my lips
Because you're all the best of me
 
A rose without a root...
 

Ost General and I

This life, I waited for so long
From an ignorant boy to a lonely duke
This lifetime, I loved too much (it hurts)
You can stab the sword in my chest
 
My war horses will fly, calming the world for you
Your qin strings will tremble, accompanying me to the end of the world
Willing to forgo the rivers and mountains [meaning the country], remove the armor for you
Willing to hold onto your hand, stay with you until your black hair fades to grey
Your aloof back, cannot hide your knitted brows
Your fragrant kiss, cannot stop air-dried tears
Those unrestrained years, of endless yearning like water
Asked myself which road I took to come here, through endless reincarnations of love
Admiring the sky studded with falling flowers, as stunning as your smiling face

Smiling through dripping blood, watching you, liking you
Loving you
The bride of my fate
 

General Pacepa's Blues

Mmmm...Early in the morning
I came from Sovata
Mmmm...Early in the morning
I came from Sovata
I searched everywhere
Found you nowhere...
 
I was even at Căciulata,
I was even at Călimăneşti,
I was even at Căciulata,
I was even at Călimăneşti,
I asked about you
No one knows where are you!...
 
Tell me you have gone
Tell me that you left
But don't let me search about you
in the East or in the West,
Maybe you're at Baia Mare
Maybe you're at Baia Mare
I don't know your adress
You don't write me any letter!
