Green birdy

Green birdy, how don´t you want for me to cry
Green birdy, how am I not to cry
Ay, ay, ay, ay, with only one life is enough
green birdy, and they want to take it away from me
 
Green birdy, how don´t you want for me to cry
Green birdy, how am I not to cry
Ay, ay, ay, ay, if the grasshoppers they take away from me
green birdy, they attach them to me again
 
Green birdy, if the indian for more than he knows
Green birdy, he always says the less of him
Ay, ay, ay, ay give the spoon
green birdy, it's on the spoon hanger
 
Green birdy, yesterday you went to cut wood
green birdy, you passed by my orchard
Ay, ay, ay, ay, and everybody knew
green birdy, for your bad companion
 
Green birdy, What the indian can give you?
green birdy, as much as you love him
Ay, ay, ay, ay, a trap for crabs
green birdy, and that will be when it rains
 

I can't complain

Oh, I can't complain
you don't force me nor I force you
you invited me to run away with you
and I wanted to fly
Oh, I can't complain
you filled my head
dreams and promises
and I wanted to dream
Oh, I can't complain
you wrapped me with tenderness
and though it was a cary thing
I accepted you without hesitating
I can't complain
 
You have a burglar soul
you have a lord demeanor
and gypsy eyes
a dreamer heart
you have a casanova skin
but I love you
you own my love
with your passionate kisses
with your angel face
and your silk caresses
let's see who can refuse
 
Oh, I can't complain
disguised as a dress
you woke up in me the sense
of the verb 'to love'
Oh, I can't complain
though sometimes I don't understand you
every cloud has a silver lining
whatever that happens it will be
Oh, I can't complain
you taught me to not be fragile
and though it wasn't easy
time helped me
and you'll still be with me
as long as I want it

If I love once I love for good

I drew a cross with chalk
On the fence of your yard
And once I was at home
I entered from the back
 
I whispered to myself
Today isn't my day
Her heart is like a strait
Her eyes are a crossroads
 
Took my harmonica
And walked back to the yard
Under the lilac tree
I sang this melody
 
If I love once
I love for good
If I love once
I love for good
 
See love's a tournament
In which turn after turn
Clumsy combatants fall
And drown in bravado
 
If that's what you believe
If such is your discourse
What you consider prey
Will soon become vulture
 
So what are you doing
Locked up in your tower
I want to break the laws
That rule over your love
 
If I love once
I love for good
If I love once
I love for good
 
You will make my voice out
From the skies all around
I will advance on you
Walk with a deaf man's eyes
 
Can't you hear already
The countdown is ticking
Open your patio door
And announce my return
 
I will charge like a bear
Only with velvet paws
I want to lay my hands
Along your tambourine
 
If I love once
I love for good
If I love once
I love for good
 
I will charge like a bear
Only with velvet paws
I want to lay my hands
Along your tambourine
 
If I love once
I love for good
If I love once
I love for good
 

Let me see you last time

This is an unsettling story what I have been through,
Why did you leave me? I still don't understand.
You were the first one, who I had cried for.
But I get strength and put my words into a song.
Your angelic laugh echoed in my ears,
Like a warm spring wind, like the chord of the guitar.
You left me without saying any word, you haven't even looked back. Since than my heart is broken and it's locked with hundreds of locks. That's how I became an orphan, but I still trust in our future, in a new life, in happiness.
But before these good things come, the only thing here is the darkness. I would cry out to anyone: HELP ME but noone hears.
It has a prize to forget, I need love.
I poison myself but believe me, I don't like it.
It is just a song for you but for me it is a torture
to wash away my nightmares and get me to wake up.
 
I would sell my soul to see you last time,
I would give up on everything just to see you last time.
I would fight with the Gods just to see you last time,
I would never ever ask for more just to see you last time.
 
I was believing but now I can understand you,
I didn't wanted anything bad I just fear for you.
I have to fight all of my battles without you,
I would give up on my life just to caress your face.
Your absence is killing me, that's what this song is about,
One knife is sticking my heart, and you have its hilt.
I still can see you with my tired eyes.
But it's just another thought which is flattering me.
It's a dramatic story, I still walk in your dreams,
I fly 3 meters above the sky.
I fly above the sky, I wish that it could last.
The sun would shine and the rain would stop.
But the world is a cruel place where the troubles are killing me
And telling me 'YOU WILL NEVER BE HAPPY'.
I would try but there is no use. That was all I could tell,
Remember the good times and get this song as a reminder.
 
I would sell my soul to see you last time,
I would give up on everything just to see you last time.
I would fight with the Gods just to see you last time,
I would never ever ask for more just to see you last time.
 
I would sell my soul...I would give up on everything...
I would fight with the Gods...I would never ever ask for more...
Just to see you last time...
Just to see you last time...
Just to see you last time...
I would not ask for more just to SEE YOU LAST TIME!!
 

You're Walking On A Walked-In Path

Tatou o tagata folau e vala’auina
E le atua o le sami tele e o mai
Ia ava’e le lu’itau e lelei
Tapenapena
 
Aue, aue
Nuku i mua
Te manulele e tataki e
Aue, aue
te fenua, te malie,
Nae ko hakilia mo kaiga e
 
Gentle winds fly in the bay of the sky
Today the sun is shining on me
 
Breathing is easier now
That the sea calls me
 
Starlight, I know you already
And all that awaits
 
We know the way already
 
Aue, aue
Let's hit the road now
To somewhere we've maybe never been to before
 
Aue, aue
If our homesickness gnaws at us
Our faithful hearts will still know the way
 
Aue, aue,
We hear nature calling to us
While a few tales go around about long past, glorious times
 
Aue, aue
te fenua, te malie,
Nae ko hakilia,
You're walking on a walked-in path
 

Are You in Love with Me

Your back, perfect like a desert
Once the tempest has left our bodies
A beauty mark from which I drink
And here I lay eyes wide open
Mystified while you're sleeping
Like a treasure buried at sea
 
I'm like a diving suit
In the middle of the desert
And I would like to figure it out
Before running out of air
 
It's a quarter to noon
And the cleaning lady
Is in the corridor
And she's shattering the mirage
 
You're so, so, so beautiful
A gift from the Reaper
An freight from heavens
I can't believe my body
 
You must be a prisoner on parole
Any partner will do
I must be your father's genuine replica
A sensations Nefertiti dare devil
Is it your prerogative
To sleep with a man you hate
 
You must have told your friend
'See that guy with the glasses
I bet ya a glass of rum
That I'll bang his bones'
 
It's five to noon
And the cleaning lady's there
And does nothing but
Count the shipwrecks
 
You're so, so, so beautiful
A giant liner
Laying in bed
I am the ocean that wants to touch your foot
 
I think I figured it out, I must have saved your life
In some country, in another life
That time that I told you 'Don't go to Pompei!'
What is it then, if not that
It must be that a guy tore your heart apart
And I arrived right before you died
 
Can't be for my money
Or for my beauty
Nor for my talent
Were you planning on killing me
 
It's noon and the cleaning lady
Is banging on the door
And screaming
'I want to play a different character'
 
You're so, so, so beautiful
I'll christen the street
I'll burn the hotel (altar) down
Wait a second...
Are you in love with me?
Are you in love with me?
 

Ebbing Away

Versions: #3
This is the furthest that I'll go.
Never the same person again.
The vile path calling now again,
the day I ran from life again.
 
If I win this one time,
it will still be the death of me.
My belief is that nothing goes well.
This is the end for me.
 
Day and night the sound was so soft,
Broken will, frozen smile.
Riding on, heart pumping tears.
Day and night I walk alone.
 
Bones rotting in the earth,
like your secrets
that you long kept from me.
But blood weighs more than silence.
 
Broken words, shards in your mouth,
cut deeper than any wound.
Broken vows will never be the same.
Lies like the viper's bite.
 
This is the furthest that I'll go.
Never the same person again.
 
If I win this one time,
it will still be the death of me.
My belief is that nothing goes well.
This is the end for me.
 
Day and night heart was uneased.
Broken will frozen smile.
Riding on, heart pumping tears.
Day and night I walk alone.

My Little Bird Flies Away

My little bird flies away,
He left us here!
He went away when he was very young,
He flew and moved away...
 
That's why I sing with emotion
My inspiration:
It's is for my little bird,
And I sing it with much love.
 
He flew away and wept,
Leaving sorrow and pain behind...
I pray to God for your return, with all my heart!
 
[Fugue:]
He left crying and flew away
As distant lands were awaiting him,
And my song faltered
As my heart broke.
 
He left us so many memories
In our minds, in our hearts...
I pray to God
That one day we'll meet again, my little bird!
 
My little bird, come back soon:
You're my life and my inspiration!
Please, I'm begging you to return....
Never forget our love!
 

I'm Nothing at all

I'm neither angel nor devil, Who am I? What am I? I am this
I'm not from wind, not from fire, so I'm descended from the earth
It's me and the light of wisdom that dies from the breeze
There's no daylight in my hands, no star on my forehead
It's me and the tight cloak that didn't fit anyone but me
There's no heaven at my doorway, there's no god in my sleeve
I'm not just, I'm not unjust, I'm not evil, nor absolute good
I'm black and white, multicolored, I'm a mix of good and bad
I'm a warm kiss for that lip, it is tonight's trophy
I'm unaware of what waits to ambush me tomorrow
It's me and the tight cloak that didn't fit anyone but me
There's no heaven at my doorway, there's no god in my sleeve
I don't put salt on the wound, it's an eternal burden
I'm not a tired beginning, not a spoiled ending
I'm neither angel nor devil

Naked on a beach hakuna matata
This jungle boy is not afraid of even a shark
I must be in heaven with you in the ship of love
And at the moment at this lake we don't even long for others
Do you have a picnic basket

You are like a mermaid I'm strong like a klingon
Did you have some snacks
Could we try some lambada1 on the beach with a bandana on the eyes
Cant peek damp fur wet hounds2

For once I am with a chick and there's a cherry flavour in my mouth
I don't want to leave home now at all

Lap-lap lips I'm like Bruce Lee
Lap-lap lips Romeo and Juulie4

Scandalously without a reason
Wet bison caught into my bait
Lets whisk the filling fine for once
Creamy pie cream de la cream8
On this flight you won't need passports
It's enough to help me empty my beach bags9

Middle beer

He came to the bar
quite suddenly.
Sat on the same table
and I saw it right away.
He started to hit on my lady.
Just like that.
Said, now i'll take you to a crank
and I went to bawl.
 
I am middle beer1 cowboy
Even that is too much for me.
I am like this oh boy.
Her I need.
I am middle beer cowboy.
That's all I can take.
But you can't
do that to me.
 
Man of cognac
Ordered for my woman.
With fine coffee
There I did alone.
I started to balk.
Certainly, of course.
He invoked to guts.
Asked, order then.

I am just like this oh boy.
Her I need.

When I looked at the lady
in the horror I saw.
Ended on the walls
my love life.
If the big guys have
no money for a scheme.
Their sight will catch
a distant woman.

Little girl

You said you loved me, but it's not true:
you always played with me and I loved you anyway,
I'm always thinking about forgetting you and I can't,
your memories are thorns that hurt my soul.
 
Wheeling, wheeling, little girl, like the golden hummingbird,
wheeling, wheeling, little girl, you've abandoned me,
little girl, you've always abandoned me.

Victor Jara

Victor Jara was a son of peasants
As a child he worked
On sunburnt fields
Life was hard in Chile
His hands grew strong
His hands grew strong
 
He grew up and learned how to fight
His eyes saw more and more
They saw the injustice
In the villages and the towns all around
The fighting and the feasting
And what's life all about
He put into sounds and verses
For his Chilean people
Those verses were tender
Those verses were strong
 
He sang for the miners
For the peasants in the rural areas
He sang in front of many factories
And every worker understood
He accompanied Allende
There was a lot of work by day and by night
He sang take your brother's hand
Let's put an end to misery
His hands were tender
His hands were strong
 
On a bright day in September
The homicide junta made a coup
Fascist generals raided the land
And there was a graveyard peace in Chile
Thousands in the dungeons
Victor Jara was amongst them
Many were displaced to the stadium
Were tortured and tormented there
And there was nothing tender
There was nothing strong
 
Executions in the morning
Shots throughout the night
Pinochet's torturers
Didn't manage to silence Victor Jara
He sang for his comrades in that place
His voice was encouraging to many
He distroyed their fears with his singing
Despite of his own fear he was full of courage
Because his voice was tender
His voice was strong
 
The fascists broke his hands
Despite of that he still made songs
The beasts thrashed his face
Killing him slowly
Victor Jara was murdered
But his songs are not dead yet
They keep on telling about freedom
And help the Chilean people in their needs
Because his songs are vivid
Yes, his songs are strong
 
And we still can hear his voice
Singing about what still counts
In the struggle for Chile's freedom
It's our solidarity
That's a tender force
Yes, that force is strong
That's a tender force
Yes, that force is strong
Our force is tender
Yes, the truth is strong
 

Our Shah (King) Has Gone On a Trip (One of the Oldest Persian Songs of Qajar Dynasty)

O Fellow Persian Countrymen, Say Prayers,
For the Shah (King) of Persia to be robust,
God willing to be robust,
 
Aye, our Shah has gone on a trip,
Aye, our moon has gone on a trip,
Aye, His trip be wholly a safe one,
 
You're the grass seed, I'm your devotee,
You're my beloved, I'm amazed by you,
 
It'll be that tomorrow....he's in my heart,
Wherever he is, God may keep my beloved safe and sound,
 
Our Shah has gone on a trip,
Our moon has gone on a trip,
His trip be wholly a safe one,
 
You're the grass seed, I'm your devotee,
You're my beloved, I'm amazed by you.

So

The wish was
To be as close as
 
The wish was to create
Our own places, own homes
Or even just so
Or even just one
 
That's why I was there
So close
 
That's why I stayed
I waited for the rain, I was on the backseat
And I breathed so quietly, so quietly like that
 
My wish was just to be
Behind your back
 
I just waited quietly
And asked for being
 
That you would turn and ask
For connection
 
And that you'd understand
My emptiness and loneliness
And my plea for just a moment
 
Now we're trying to step
Slowly inwards
 
Now we're looking for a place
Where they're waiting for us and receive us
And where they say we are welcome
 
My wish was just to be
Behind your back
 
I just waited quietly
And asked for being
 
That you would turn and ask
For connection
 
And that you'd understand
My emptiness and loneliness
And my plea for just a moment
 

Faith

I told you i will go with you
you are escaping from me. Why tell?
Did you have a boyfriend, come back with me.
Forget all men!
 
We both are going to the world.
Do you want to do a miracles?
I want you sweatheart, i want to press you in the dance,
in the dance of love.
 
Do you see you are happy.
Don't make a joke with me.
Forget all men!
We both are going to the world.
 
Do you want to do a miracles?
I want you sweatheart, i want to press you in the dance,
in the dance of love.
I'm man for you, right?
Stay me faithfully.
 
Forget all men!
Do you see you are happy.
Don't make a joke with me.
I'm man for you, right?
Stay me faithfully.
 
Forget all men!
 

Traveling

Traveling
Down your pores
Is not the air what makes me talk
Is your smile
Traveling
Is not the air what makes me talk
Is your smile
 
And I'll wander
Sowing in the shore
And in the come back
My sharp tongue
Will be able to prune the false
 
Traveling
Down your blood
Is not the soft what makes me tremble
Is your smile
Traveling
Is not the soft what makes me tremble
Is your smile
 
And I'll wander
Sowing in the shore
And in the come back
My sharp tongue
Will be able to prune the false
All the false

What do you want?

What do you want?
Look at my days.
What do you want?
Look at my dreams.
 
All my life is for your sake, my love.
All my life is for your sake, my soul.
 
There's no excuse that you forgot,
There's no excuse that you forgot our love and everything.
Oh, the smile of my life!
 
I drink bitter
Of my longing for you
And sympathize with my separation.
The ling of the moon
Of mi life is for you,
As well as my secrets and my joy.
 
My darling, understand me from now.
My love is killing me.
 

Puzzle

I want to be a vagabond in your body and lose myself
In the depth of your gaze
Slide in the curves of your hips and your eyes
 
I'm a prisoner, that from your jailer lips
And slave of your love (slave of your love)
Take me very far and to infinity
Where they do not bother us and we are alone
Your hands will be the wives of my hands
 
You are the last piece of the puzzle of my life
You are the part that complements me
What if you are the moon, I will be the earth
I would go to the end of the world if you wanted
I'll take you with me if you asked me
To accompany me I will paint your dreams
I will lower the moon and give it to you, just ask me
 
What you want, I'll grant you
Master of passion, owner of the heart
And slave of your love
 
Once again I have dreamed about your hair again
Why dream? If I live a dream
If I have what I love most in my life and your kisses
 
I am not a prisoner that of your lips jailer
And slave of your love (Slave of your love)
I feel cold girl, when you are not to my see
Your memory invades me and fills me with this pain
That I'm not with you and not have you near
 
You are the last piece of the puzzle of my life
You are the part that complements me
What if you are the moon I will be the earth
 
I would go to the end of the world if you wanted
I'll take you with me if you asked me
To accompany me I will paint your dreams
I will lower the moon and give it to you, just ask me
 
What you want, I'll grant you
Master of passion, owner of the heart
And slave of your love
 
And when we are alone the two embraced
That I love you more than anyone
I will do everything so that this illusion does not end
And between you and me love, love
I would go to the end of the world if you wanted
I'll take you with me if you asked me
To accompany me I will paint your dreams
I will lower the moon and give it to you, just ask me
 
What you want, I'll grant you
Master of passion, owner of the heart
And slave of your love
You are the last piece of the puzzle of my life.
 

What am I thinking?

What am I thinking? - I just watch the doorbell.
I feel on me that it is almost a love.
I have never waited so for a kind word.
What am I thinking? - I always think on you.
 
One day has already past and I didn't see you.
Oh, I would drive the time to rush.
 
What am I thinking? - I just watch the doorbell.
It is not so good alone but I am waiting alone.
I would wait if he feels and is waiting as me.
What am I thinking? - I always think on you.

The Gardener

Versions: #2
In order to forget you
I'm going to cultivate the soil
I hope to find in it
Medicine for my sorrow
Here I will plant the rose bush
Of the thickiest thorns
I will have the wreath ready
For the moment you die inside me
 
For my sadness, Blue Violet
Small red carnation for my passion
And in order to know if he loves me back
I put off the petals of a big white chamomile
If he loves me a lot, a little or nothing at all
My heart will stay quiet
 
Little by little they will grow up
The cheerful pansies
Once they're already bloomed
Your memories will fly away
Of the Poppy's flower
I will be its best friend
I'll put it under my pillow
To sleep peacefully
 
For my sadness, Blue Violet
Small red carnation for my passion
And in order to know if he loves me back
I put off the petals of a big white chamomile
If he loves me a lot, a little or nothing at all
My heart will stay quiet
 
Lemon balm's sprout
When my sorrows increase
The flowers of my garden
Will be my nurses
And in case I'm absent
Before you regret it
You will inherit this flowers
Come to heal yourself with them
 
For my sadness, Blue Violet
Small red carnation for my passion
And in order to know if he loves me back
I put off the petals of a big white chamomile
If he loves me a lot, a little or nothing at all
My heart will stay quiet.
 

I am the bird's friend

I'm will sing these couplets
to name the singer,
his name is Juancho Chiviro***
and he sings in such a spectacular way.
 
He wakes me up in the morning,
he announces that it dawned,
and he keeps singing
while waiting for his portion.
 
Chorus
I am the bird's friend
but without a cage, sir,
I have a bustling backyard
where I prepare mate* with love.
 
The ugly bug (bird) screams***-,
the cardinal***- sings,
the skylark***- whistles,
the thrush***- sings.
 
I am the bird's friend
but without a cage, sir.
 
I tamed them without haste
with the leftovers of the tablecloth,
the chiviro*** was the first
and then all (of the other birds) after him.
 
There are those that in a cage
want to lock up the singing (of a bird),
but in prison no one sings,
one can only weep.
 

I want to be a poet

I've learned how to walk
On top of the sun without burning my feel
I've been able to embrace it
Without feeling the heat they say it gives off
 
I've learned to fly
With the wind that blows just to see you
Even though you're so far
I'll come to look for you and later on, who knows
 
I want to be a poet
And tell you to your face
That I like you a little or, even better, madly
I want to be a poet
And beg you in person
To stay a little longer or, even better, forever
 
You scare me and I feel sorrow
Sorrow, little sorrow
 
I've learned to love you a little bit more every day
I've learned to forget you a little bit more every day
 
And I feel sorrow, little sorrow
 

Утихните ветрови

Утихните ветрови,
заледите се поља,
таласима вољеним
лишће и цвеће неће бити задовољени.
 
Кад је река мртва,
сопственог светла
и месец и сунце су лишени.

One among a thousand

On mainland, nothing to doubt
Though they tell you 'you're finished', don't mind, don't
Keep going forward, no one will pick you up
 
One among a thousand, I will win
Going uphill is the gamble
Of the game of life
 
The past won't be able to be the same
And perhaps it's best that way, I don't know
If you never believed in me, you ought to change your mind
Life is like the tide
In dry dike or deep sea
Comes and goes unceasingly
 
I never cheated, never will I do it
And I have decided to open my heart tonight
I lose everything and start over
 
One among a thousand, I will win
Going uphill is the gamble
Of the game of life
 
You don't fully understand this light music
That fills the gray stormy afternoons with happiness
I shout our my song to the wind, never to ask for anyone's help
And specially not to you
I still keep my secret
You're deaf, I'm singing
 
If you're on land, don't mind, don't
Though they tell you 'you're unsuccessful', keep going without stoping
Until the bell rings, go
 
One among a thousand, I will triumph
Going uphill is the gamble
Of the game of life
Of this life
 
One among a thousand, I will triumph
But you ought to change your mind...
 

The Moon's Bright Rays On A Quiet, Windless Night

Versions: #2
The moon's rays are bright on a quiet, windless night
It's light is trembling on the water
In a deep ravine near the village
There the rising river rumbles.
 
In a deep ravine near the village
There the rising river rumbles.
 
The leaves of the dense forest
Whispering amongst themselves in the wind
The earth's soil is hidden beneath
The glittering green of the land.
 
The mountain resounds with echos and choruses
It provokes the barking of dogs
Who do you come to wait here for,
Meeting a dear one in the loneliness?
 
Who do you come to wait here for?
Meeting a dear one in the loneliness?
 
*********************************************
 
Undoubtedly, she is pleasant and sweet
First it's freezing, then the fever,
Not really breathing, only gasping,
So terrified with frantic fright.
 
Lingering without saying a word,
This heart pounding so rapidly,
Telling of her standing so very near,
Is her chin tucked in your neck's nape?
 

Тегла за убијање

Тамо доле где овај ружни човек
тражи духовну храну,
доле у плавом поноћном бљеску,
стаклена рука сече кроз воду
косећи његово уврнуто корење,
а онда из његових очију
искачу свици
и удахњују живот
у бучно прерушавање.
 
Игле и греси, греси и и игле,
он се бори за ваздух
у бунару жеља.
Прах рђи, пепео на бразготину,
рука око тегле за убијање.
 
Мека обмана сенки
величине измишљотине
пробија врхунац његовог беса.
Стаклена рука сече кроз воду
гасећи чаробни гнев.
Онда изнутра
заплаче гром,
брзо сломљеним
коначним, пригушеним уздасима.
 
Игле и греси, греси и и игле,
он се бори за ваздух
у бунару жеља.
Прах рђи, пепео на бразготину,
рука око тегле за убијање.

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.
 

The Ballad of My Destiny

Everything I ever wanted,
I had to leave behind faraway,
I always have to escape
And abandon what I love.
 
I am the ghost ship
That cannot drop anchor at port,
I wander about looking for shelter
In portraits and in mirrors,
In moth-eaten letters
And in scented memories.
 
No matter how much I stretch out my hands
I can never reach you, bright star,
There were bitter partings,
That is my favorite path.
 
I drink long and deeply
My potion of memories
And become drunk in distances
So as to caress my dreams,
And become drunk in distances
So as to caress my dreams.
 
No one knows better than me
The language of handkerchiefs,
Fluttering in the docks,
Shaking the trembling air.
 
No one was ever born like me
With a sailor's destiny,
The only flower I know
Is the compass rose,
The only flower I know
Is the compass rose.
 
No matter how much I stretch out my hands
I can never reach you, bright star,
There were bitter partings,
That is my favorite path.
 
I drink long and deeply
My potion of memories
And become drunk in distances
So as to caress my dreams,
And become drunk in distances
So as to caress my dreams.
 

Around My Thoughts and Heart

Around my thoughts and heart now
Sweet sounds hover.
Ring, spring poem, ring
Out over the wide land.
Resound around the house there
Where cheerful flowers shine.
Peaceful rose, if you find her there,
Give her my greeting!
 

Aldernight's spirit

I was born on a boulder
Taking the dark from the night
I sow everything from in front of the night
I am that night's young path
 
The people able to hear can't hear
May the people with sight not see
The knowing shall not know
About the bog angered by a violent death
I shall rise alone in the night
The dark path underneath
Dark sky as my hem
I am rays of the Milky way
 
Of me lives the darkness
whose path withered to death
My way ends under the feet
to the grave of resting soil
 
Only one is bright
The light of a dying silence
You watch it with the eyes of a violent death
The sorrow of a crying life
 
I was born underneath a birch
To the sundown of the Fathers
But my birth was not
The growth of young grass
 
I sunk underneath the forest
To the ends of the mansion of wooden bark
I was resting in the arms of moss
Carcass of a grave on my shoulders
 
Shall my spirit ignite in the snow
Shines the snowy blanket underneath the aspens
Life i don't want
I don't want to rise up, not see the day
 
From the night i take my longing
I don't wish for the life of day
To the moon i give my death
A flame from the lonely night
 
I am a child of persecution
Deathbed as my cradle
You can see the nights from my skin
The rain will not turn off my flame
 
I was born on grass
Living young under the morning sky
So that spring took my life,
My blood from the aldery grove
 
I was born on a boulder
Taking the dark from the night
I sow everything from in front of the night
I am that night's young path
 
The people able to hear can't hear
May the people with sight not see
The knowing don't know
About the bog angered by a violent kill
 
I was born on a boulder
Taking the dark from the night
I sow everything from in front of the night
I am that night's young path
 
The people able to hear can't hear
May the people with sight not see
The knowing don't know
About the bog angered by a violent death
 
Once i was a carrier of flames
took one from the front of water
At that moment i swore an oath: the air, the soil and the fire shall burn.
 
And so i grew to be my flame
underneath the earth and the soils of day
I am a spirit in the Aldernight
My belt holds the blood of my brother
 
I am a dark, eternal night
The shadows of trees in the earth's dew
mossy bog enveloped in mist
A night neverending
