In my fingers you awakened,
they follow me like shadows,
in the day you drive me mad,
in the night you devour me,
how it had to happen to me,
I, who was always like stone,
but when clashing into your body,
ignited sparks from my mouth.

The Sun Doesn’t Return

A few days ago in a tavern I lost
the other half of my soul, plus a 15% tip.
It's not that alcohol is the best cure1
but it helps you forget when you can't find an out.
 
Today I try to tell you
that everything going well even if you don't believe me,
even if at this point,
a last attempt is worthless.
 
Today the good memories
fall down the stairs
and into various tequilas, 2
the clouds depart
but the sun won't return.
 
Dreams of a hotel room on the roadside
and raindrops that I keep in this suitcase,
they roll on the mattress of my now deserted bed,
it's the best solution for the pain in my head.

Tattoos

Wounded, my happiness walked away,
by your pride's request, I'll leave.
Even if I need you, I'll leave you,
but to forget you, I don't know about that.
 
Tattoos of your kisses, I carry all over my body,
tattoos made over time.
For the time that I knew you,
it became a habit of mine to look into you eyes,
to breathe in your breath.
I'm leaving but I carry you within me.
 
Giving in to your reasoning, I'm walking away
a victim to your alter ego, I'm leaving.
With another love in my heart, I'm walking away,
I'm not sure if I'll be able to forget you.
 
Tattoos of your kisses, I carry all over my body,
tattoos made over time.

After You

I don't regret the things I've lived through,
of scattered dreams, of sweating nights.
Among so many things that the road has taught me,
there's no more terrible sin than to never have felt love.
 
What will happen, if I'm still alive, if I'm still breathing?
how do I give in to every new longing after you?
 
After you there's nothing anymore,
there's nothing left anymore, absolutely nothing.
After you there's oblivion,
a lost memory, absolutely nothing.
 
How will I fill this emptiness after you?
how do I live after you?
 
I'll let time heal all of my wounds
and even if it burns from the inside, I know I'll be renewed.
When the sky cries, no one ever asks:
where does it hurt? why does it rain? why has it stopped raining?
 
What will happen, if I'm still alive, if I'm still breathing?
how do I give in to every new longing after you?
 
After you there's nothing anymore,
there's nothing left anymore, absolutely nothing.
After you there's oblivion,
a lost memory, absolutely nothing.
 
Once in a while I'm cold1
and I ask my fate:
how do I give in to every new longing
after you?
 
After you there's nothing anymore,
there's nothing left anymore, absolutely nothing.
After you there's oblivion,
a lost memory, absolutely nothing.

Lost Love

Lost love, if it's as they say,
it's true that you live happily without me.
Live happily, perhaps joy will give
more kisses1, ones I didn't give you.
 
Today, I've convinced myself that for your part,
you were never mine nor was I for you, nor you for me.
Nor I for you, it was all a game,
it's just that I had placed a bet and I lost.
 
It was a game and I lost, that's my fate,
I've lost for being such a good player.
You lead a happier life, that's my fate,
what more can a troubadour say?
 
Live peacefully, it's not necessary
that when you pass me by, for you to tell me goodbye.
I'm not wounded and I swear on my mother,
I don't detest you nor hold resentment for you.
 
On the contrary, alongside you
I applaud the pleasure and love,
long live the pleasure, long live love.
Now I'm free, I want someone to love me,
long live love.

You're Going To Regret It

I don't know who's got more to lose
here in this goodbye.
My path is to go forward
and yours is in reverse.
 
I know that someone spoke to you
and offered you a thousand things,
they told you of beautiful things
and sent you some roses.
 
I'm not going to stop you,
that was a deal we had made,
if I didn't make you happy, you'd say goodbye,
if I didn't make you happy, you'd say goodbye.
 
But you're going to regret it
when you see that it's worthless
when you compare their riches
to the ones I gave you.
 
You'll see that happiness
can't be bought with money,
true love is worth more
than living in solitude.

Stray Bullet*

Ever since you gave me up for the arms of another,
ever since you left off with another love,
I feel like I'm drowning in failure
and I want to give it a quick solution.
 
Although I've tried, I haven't been able to forget you
and I'm desperately searching.
 
For a stray bullet
to take my life away,
to take the pain from my heart.
And when it penetrates my chest,
may it destroy the memory
that your damned indifference has left behind.
 
For a stray bullet
to bring an end to me
from your life that never understood
what my immense love had mourned.
 
Everything I gave you, you don't care to abandon it,
nothing that I gave you could make you happy,
I feel like I'm drowning in failure
and I want to give it a quick solution.

and I'm desperately searching.

that your damned indifference has left behind.

Qaldaibek’s Grief

A blessed place where my ancestors were living,
The Zhem river, precious country, my native land.
Atom exploded and wounded your body.
Could something be worse? What could be even worse?
 
Death has taken over your sanctuary,
The land was devastated in the evening
How many souls became ailing – got damaged,
Day of Judgment came here to stay for ever.
 
During in the time since the past council-era
Did not want to stay trampled at the bottom.
Today the steppe is without life, Ownerless
Only the Moon and the Sun are survivors.
 
You know, how many home-fires turned off the flame,
Your inhabitants have moved away from you
A lot of years have passed since then among tears
The native generation was disabled.
 
Even my grandfather had fair heritage,
You were a holy place, boys and girls grew up,
We stand as sinners before our ancestors.
For this land they gave their soul, paid with their lives.
 
The land of the victims was taken by force,
Qaldaibek has slowly healing painful wound.
Will be the country, the steppe rejuvenated,
Halls will be populated in the future?
 
Halls will be populated in the future?
 

Thousands of Miles, a Common Dream

The ever-budding willows in farewells
The ever-growing clouds in sights
The ever-echoing birdsong in ears
The ever-haunting lovesickness in hearts
 
The farewell had put us on the gateway
On horse I left for the ferry, seeing you away
Together or apart, near or far
Sharing a heart, friends still we are
 
In my arms sleeps the moon
Casting velvety dreams to lane and road
The twittering swallow, please
Bestow spring jasmines to every household
 
Guests from the east and the west
Travelers from the north and the south
Beyond all the mountains and rivers
We are bonded by an angelic soul
Through effort common dreams loom
In every home spring will bloom

You're Just a Whore

I get up in the morning, having a cup of coffee
Smoking my cigarette with Him
Smoking, thinking what I should do today
Smoking, asking just why...
Did you leave me?
 
You've left me all alone in that cold, dark room
And I ask, is there something wrong with me?
Asking you, and you don't reply
 
Only two days later, I saw you on the street
I saw you with another man
And everything clicked, I realized
That because of him...
You've left me
 
You've left me all alone in that cold, dark room
And I ask, is there something wrong with me?
Asking you, and you don't reply
You're just a whore
 
Now that you've realized your mistake
You want to go home
But I won't accept you
And you know why
Because it's him...
You've left me for
 
You've left me all alone in that cold, dark room
And I ask, is there something wrong with me?
Asking, and you...
You've left me
 
You've left me all alone in that cold, dark room
And I ask, is there something wrong with me?
Asking you, and you don't reply
You're just a whore
 

Can it please stay like this?

Car tires,
Just us two,
infinite loops,
missing nothing,
folding hands,
glaring lights,

Empty streets
Rooftops,

Ash tray,
Red eyes,
never sleeping again,
happy without a word - for days already
happy without a word.
 
We are not thinking,
and we're drifting.

(we) don't have a plan

night over,

The first rays of sun touching my face.

In the mountains - fragment

I went to the mountains to spend the night there,
I was singing from my landscape1 in darkness,
Below me my white-gray2 horse kicked up his heels3,
Looked around and turned his ear back toward me.
 
My white-gray horse, my magic steed,4
He soared happily, like a hawk.
And I took a deep breath of smell
Of the summer evening air.
 
A-ay, your silky hair,
Your honey voice, your pitch-black eyes,
You’re the only one who know: I went to you.
 
Your honey voice, your pitch-black eyes,
You’re the only one who know: I went to you.

In the woods by Zhylandy hugged the bare ground,
Cried and sobbed, groaned and wailed ow, my soul Qadisha
Cried and sobbed, groaned and wailed-ow, my soul Qadisha.

Freed myself

I already freed myself from your fake love
I am going to celebrate
That my time in your prison
Has ended
 
Today I will stop believing you
Something new happened inside of me
It makes me live
 
The chain broke
I do not have more complication
The path lit up
I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'm leaving
 
I'm looking for the best
You do not deserve my attention
Since I made the decision
I'm leaving
 
I'm going to the street
For you to shut up
Now has an owner
My heart
 
Anywhere I go
The light does not go out
Today I walk freely in it's direction
Because I freed myself from you
I freed myself from you
 
Because I freed myself from you
I freed myself from you
 
You dropped the mask and the disguise
And now I can see what's behind
I'm leaving here
 
This time I did not lose the war
From the floor I throw you out and I leave you there
Far from me
 
The chain broke
I do not have more complication
The path lit up
I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'm leaving
 
I'm looking for the best
You do not deserve my attention
Since I made the decision
I'm leaving
 
I'm going to the street
For you to shut up
Now has an owner
My heart
 
Anywhere I go
The light does not go out
Today I walk freely in it's direction
Because I freed myself from you
I freed myself from you
 
Because I freed myself from you
I freed myself from you

Sinful passion

Versions: #3
You have appeared unexpectedly from a moonlight dream.
Oh, if you knew, all I needed was you.
Rain was pouring hard, nights were sleepless.
You were the only one who could warm up my frozen heart, like spring.
 
Let me, let me blaze in darkness and foul weather.
Let me, let me burn in the fire of sinful passion day and night.
 
The night had closed my eyes and silence reigned.
Sounds, hands, faces are forgotten - All I need is you.
 
I am enchanted by you, I will drink your love potion to the last drop.
You are the only one who can return me from the abyss to this world.
 
Let me, let me blaze in darkness and foul weather.
Let me, let me burn in the fire of sinful passion day and night.
 

Gezi Gardens

I’m wandering in the Gezi Gardens,
I’ve lost my love,
Oh, my searches are hopeless.
I’ve lost my love,
Oh, my searches are hopeless.
Only faith in you lives in me,
Come and sit with me,
I will talk about my sadness.
Why should I love someone
Who can’t understand me.
Why should I love someone
Who can’t understand me.
 
I have three flowers from the Garden of Gezi.
You who are not afraid of God,
Remember that none of us is immortal.
You who are not afraid of God,
Remember that none of us is immortal.
If death exists in this world, then so does grimness.
My poor mother, don’t leave me alone beyong those mountains!
Nobody should burn like this, only mother feels my pain.

Everyone is Free

What's wrong—
why stare so much?
Perhaps because we are not
well-dressed,
well-groomed, like you?
 
Well, if you don't like us,
as we are,
all you have to do is turn away
in the other direction
and pay no attention to us.
 
Everyone is free
to do what he or she wants!
Everyone is free
to do what he or she wants!
 
Especially since we are not looking for anyone,
we never dreamed of
trying to convince others
to live like us.
 
Whatever other people do
is of little interest.
Even if someone walks around
with a cylinder on the head,
that's fine with us.
 
Everyone is free
to do what he or she wants!
Everyone is free
to do what he or she wants!
 
On the contrary, among you there is more than one
who is well-dressed,
well-groomed,
but for not for the better.
 
And this somebody
somehow got the idea
that people—be they good ones
or bad ones—
should do as they are told.
 
Everyone is free
to do what he or she wants!
Everyone is free
to do what he or she wants!
 

Moonlight Mom

Evening clouds trails the sunset,
Stars are about to make an entrance,
The Moon is their mother
Keeping watch over the night sky.
 
I lit a solitary lamp
And quietly grow up by myself.
In the corner of my dreams
Finding comfort in the song I sing.
 
Mama, Мama
Do you sing when you think of me?
Mama, Мama
Your star is looking for the Moon.
Mama, Мama
Don’t worry about me,
I know neither of us want to be alone.
 
In the hustle and bustle of the world
I am a silent observer.
The story of a wanderer,
His home resides in his heart.
 
A myriad of lights in a foreign city
All pointing to the same Moon
In a place far far away
You have always been my home.
 
Mama, Мama
Do you sing when you think of me?
Mama, Мama
Your star is looking for the Moon.
Mama, Мama
Don’t worry about me,
I know neither of us want to be alone.
 
Mama, Мama
Mama, Мama

Far behind

I should have...
If only
I had...
And I keep
thinking of it.
I recall
the whole ride.
 
You said nothing.
You knew.
If only you could
get me unstuck1
You stayed
far behind.
 
Long, so long
ago2
Far, so far
behind
 
If I shouted
If I called
If I could
I would try
I would catch up
I would take
the whole ride again.
 
We happened to each other3
We liked each other
We thought
we could
get away
from everything,
leave everything
 
Long, so long
ago
Far, so far
behind
 
I saw you
I couldn't
A glimpse of another4
held me back.
I cried
in secret.
 
I kept quiet
as long as I could.
You did all you could,
but you're too far away.
You're no longer crying.
You left me
 
long, so long
ago
Far, so far
behind
 

• 1. not quite sure what she means by that. I just picked the meaning that seemed most likely to me
• 2. it also means 'behind' but can be used to refer to the past
• 3. This French is rather unusual. The literal 'we had each other [only once]' would be too ambiguous
• 4. that makes some kind of fuzzy sense in French, like 'a feature/memory of someone else held me back'

Lip self-service

I decided
to be nice to myself,
pour me a bath,
spread all the pictures of me
and comment them thoroughly.
I will pay myself some lip service1
Talk to myself exclusively about me.
Praises said out loud,
roses to congratulate myself
for being me.
 
I decided
to look at myself,
to scrutinize myself in the mirror,
to unveil all my charms,
to worship myself from head to toe.
I will pay myself some lip service
Talk to myself exclusively about me.
Praises said out loud,
roses to congratulate myself
for being me.
 
I decided
to desire myself,
to make up new sensations for me,
to be overburdened with emotions,
to become my own obsession.
I will pay myself some lip service
Talk to myself exclusively about me.
Praises said out loud,
roses to congratulate myself
for being me.
 
So many roses I won't be sending you...
So many roses I won't be sending you...
 

• 1. lit. 'send myself some flowers'

War and Peace (zhàn zhēng yǔ hé píng)

Who first believed whom?
Who first embraced whom?
Contempt splits apart a million strands of hope and faith
Thus is the reason love remains such a distance away
 
Ah, war and peace
Ah, hatred and mercy
How much sorrow can a heart bear
How might solace be brought to humanity?
 
On the two sides of the celestial scale
In between ice and fire
Good and evil constantly at war with the world
The final answer is within a single moment
 
Ah, war and peace
Ah, misunderstanding and comprehension
Tears crystalize into fossils in time
Who still remembers the intricacies of love and hate
(x2)
 
How much sorrow can a heart bear
How might solace be brought to humanity
 
I tried to convey the emotions in the original lyrics while maintaining the correct meanings, without translating word for word.

Dream Chasing Bengal

The person who betrayed me is laughing somewhere
I who was betrayed is wallowing in misery
Aah, what a lame excuse for irony
 
All you people care about is sex
Even though we were born to wish for love
Aah, I still can't be loved today
 
I should only want to be ordinary
Yet I keep wishing for more than ordinary
Well, it's OK to treat yourself once in a while
 
Today again, my bank book is as white as a seagull
It might as well just fly the coop
Aah, I still can't be loved today
 
Give me all the water there is
Fly to the sea, white seagull
I don't need money or the latest fad
I don't need sexual gratification right now
 
Run and run - throwing my whole body far across the distance
Round and round - peace or despair, let it fall by the wayside for now
When tomorrow morning comes
I will worry about it then
 
I have all the free time in the world, so let me sleep for 5 more minutes
The Sex Pistol music alarm is annoyingly loud
Aah, it feels like there is a bug in my eye
 
Aah, I feel like acting like the biggest fool in history
Say what you want and laugh all you want
That's right, just like that, let it all out
 
I no longer need what I've always desired
Seagull, you're all burned through
Let's team up with the Bengal tiger
My energy needs an outlet
 
Run and run - kicking my legs high up far across the distance
Round and round - charging through my days in a dizzying blur
When tomorrow morning comes
I wonder what I will see
 
The charismatic stars born in the Heisei era
Can't catch up with this world filled to the brim
I no longer care about those popular bands either
I wonder if something is wrong with me
 
Give me all the water there is
Fly to the sea, white seagull
I don't need money or the latest fad
I don't need sexual gratification right now
 
Run and run - throwing my whole body far across the distance
Round and round - peace or despair, let it fall by the wayside for now
When tomorrow morning comes
I will worry about it then
Is there something wrong with me
When tomorrow morning comes
I will worry about it then
 

Since My Freedom

Sitting on the platform,
my body trembles and I can see
that at a distance the old train whistles
like yesterday's shadow.
 
It will not be easy to be
one single heart again,
I had always been a half
without knowing my identity.
 
I will not take any image from here,
I will go nude the same as I was born,
I need to begin to be myself and know
that I am capable and that I walk on my own.
I had always been a half
without knowing my identity.
I will not take any image from here,
I will go nude the same as I was born,
I need to begin to be myself and know
that I am capable and that I walk on my own.
 
Since my freedom
I am strong because I am a volcano,
they never taught me to fly
but I must take flight.
They never taught me to fly
but I must take flight.
 

Behind the stove sings the cricket.

Behind the stove sings the cricket,
Calm down, don’t cry, little son,
Here - on the window frost,
Is like a bright night star.
Like a bright night star.
Like a bright night star.
 
Well, if there is not a single roll,
Look out, the pure firmament,
See, shine the stars,
The moon sails on a small boat.
Moon sails on a small boat.
Moon sails on a small boat.
 
Sleep, and I will sing you,
How good it is in the sky,
How, together, the grey cat
Will conduct us by sledge to the moon.
Conduct us by sledge to the moon.
Conduct us by sledge to the moon.
 
There will be nuts, sweets,
We will be rejoiced, happy,
We will have new boots
And honey gingerbreads.
Honey gingerbreads.
Honey gingerbreads.
 
Well, get some rest - even a little,
I will give the golden small saber,
Go soon asleep, little son,
My unruly cricket.
Unruly cricket.
Unruly cricket.
 

Paranoia (Radio)

It's midnight again, an awesome day's over
You and your boys are so awesome
You were bored in school, but when your last class ended
You went home to a homie to play
 
There you were, watching a Japanese DVD
Which his father had bought on the internet
It was about a crazed psychopath
Who liked murdering women, tearing flesh off of the skeleton
 
For-fucking-bidden for children, it's too dangerous for them
You were still having an awesome time when you biked home
But at night, you were suddenly not that cocky anymore
And when you went to bed, it wasn't funny at all
 
You heard the girls scream, now you see their corpses
You see them as you close your eyes
An awesome day's over, it's midnight again
And I'm back, say hello to my invisible friend
 
Who says:
 
Boo!
 
I'm coming
I'm coming
I'm coming at you
 
Boo!
 
I'm coming
I'm coming
I'll be touching you
 
Boo!
 
I'll tear everything safe and comfortable apart
 
I'm a shadow behind the curtain
I'm a branch on your window
I'm a sound coming from the closet
I'm a voice in your had
I'm the tormented souls, the twisted wails
Of those who burned to death in your video game
 
Like when your mother and father who just believe in what they can see
Say that I don't exist, what do they know about that?
They're asleep when I haunt, when I spook you
It's not them I visit when you turn off you light
 
I say:
 
Boo!
 
I'm coming
I'm coming
I'm coming at you
 
Boo!
 
I'm coming
I'm coming
I'll be touching you
 
Boo!
 
I'll tear everything safe and comfortable apart
 
(Roaring paranoia, complete madness)
 
I say:
 
Boo!
 
I'm coming
I'm coming
I'm coming at you
 
Boo!
 
I'm coming
I'm coming
I'll be touching you
 
Boo!
 
I'll tear everything safe and comfortable apart
 
Hahahaha
Hahahaha
Hahahahahahaaaa

The Ring of the Nibelungen

Come to me!
Come to me in my dark kingdom!
Come to me
in my dark kingdom!
 
Sempiternus raptus est...
 
Bloody revenge
Betrayal and robbery
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
 
Forged from Rhine gold
Forced by gods
Destroying the curse
The Ring of the Nibelungen1
 
Come to me!
Come to me in my dark kingdom!
Come to me
in my dark kingdom!
 
Souls burned
The blood sea dried up
Heroes are dead
And the song cruel
 
Forged from Rhine gold2
Forced by gods
Destroying the curse
The Ring of the Nibelungen
 
Sempiternus raptus est
Te tenebo in umbras
Exire imperio nemo potest
Si sinistra te tango
In me aeterno ardes
Et in obscuritas captatus est
 
Come to me!
Come to me in my dark kingdom!
Come to me
in my dark kingdom!

Never Land

Hands on the clock made a full circle - it's another day
Lyrics sung over and over - forgetten again
Blame it on the neighbor's fat cat - it's footsteps are too loud
 
Tree branches peek through skyscrapers
The night owl’s eyes look to and fro
People passing by walk in dancing steps
 
Wrong rhythm are not important
Tedious rules are meant to be ignored
Let boredom end in the next second
 
Unstoppable mood makes you scream
Baby join our crazy fun
Let’s be high and forget all troubles
 
Neverland
Spread our joy throughout the universe
 
Bypass those snobbish channels
Send a simple and direct signal
Only pictographs are considered old-fashioned
 
Wrong rhythm are not important
Tedious rules are meant to be ignored
Let boredom end in the next second
 
Unstoppable mood makes you scream
Baby join our crazy fun
Let’s be high and forget all troubles
 
Neverland
Spread our joy throughout the universe
 

軽蔑と始まり (Keibetsu to Hajimari) [Slander and Beginnings]

I don't have anything
Besides living this way
So I don't think Im pathetic
That's all of you thinking that
 
This isn't for you
Laugh and look down on me
 
With the same old words
Which endlessly flowed
I grew tired of life
and fascinated with death
 
That is persecution
 
This isn't for you
Laugh and look down on me
Oh successful ones who could find themselves
Laugh and look down on me
 
I don't care even if I die
So celebrate the wounds
I don't care even if I die
 
I don't have anything
Besides living this way
 
That is persecution
Which are you?
 
Ah me, why do I hesitate?
Uncommon sense of a parasite
Paradise of fear, a dive of death
Uncommon sense of a parasite
 
More than anything
I want my value more than anything
 
I don't care even if I die
So celebrate the wounds
I don't care even if I die
I don't care even if I die
So celebrate the wounds
I don't care even if I die
 
CHAOS MODE
 

The automated waitress' lament

I didn't ask to be born
I would just like to be left alone
I don't want to do the same as everybody else
But I need to pay my rent
I work at the Underground Café
 
I'm just an automated waitress
It gives me all the time I need to daydream
Even when I'm dead on my feet
I'm always ready to fly away
I work at the Underground Café
 
One day, you'll see
The automated waitress
Going away
To grow her tomatoes
In the sun
 
What am I going to do today?
What am I going to do tomorrow?
That's what I ask myself every morning
What am I going to do with my life?
I don't want anything
I just want to feel good
 
I don't want to work just to be working
To earn a living, as they say
I would just want to do something I love
I don't know what I love, that's my problem
 
From time to time, I strum my guitar
That's all I can be good at
I never dreamed of becoming a star
I just want to be me
My life doesn't look like me
I work at the Underground Café
 
I haven't seen the sun for a long time
In my underworld
For me, all the days look alike
To me, life is useless
I'm like a switched off neon light
I work at the Underground Café
 
One day, you'll see
The automated waitress
Going away
To grow her tomatoes
In the sun
 
What am I going to do today?
What am I going to do tomorrow?
That's what I ask myself every morning
What am I going to do with my life?
I don't want anything
I just want to feel good
 
One day, you'll see
The automated waitress
Going away
To grow her tomatoes
In the sun
