There is a house in New Orleans

There is a house in New Orleans
A house, far from happiness
They have been waiting for it there for a long time
But it never comes back
 
He went out in the morning
The day was young and beautiful
Then he met a blonde woman
Who wanted to go with him
 
So hear their story
And what became of them:
There were two royal children
They loved each other so much
 
Her father was so white, so white
His father was so black
'You won't get the woman at any price
Get out or perish!'
 
He shouted, 'Oh, people, stop!'
They beat him to death, the sun was shining
It shined for everyone''
 
There is a house in New Orleans
A house, far from happiness
And he will never come back
And he will never come back
 

How can I not worry (Saying farewell to girl to serve the nation)

Huoy Meas: Oh nature, you are tranquil
Seems like there's a crisis like me
Part of it is because I worry about love
Scared that their heart will lose passion
[That their] Love will depart far, far from them
Can't meet them, who will I depend on?
 
Sinn Sisamouth: I won't forget you
I will only separate from the owner of the romantic thoughts
To serve the nation and religion
Please remove those thoughts, dear
Don't worry at all, I'll be back
Return fast, wait to meet me [again], dear
 
Huoy Meas: I... am a girl, missing,
dreaming of being in my husband embrace
I can't just help myself from you
This time, how can I not worry?
 
Sinn Sisamouth: Please smile, honey
to keep being the ray of peace
[Even though] I'll separate [from you], my heart is always with you
It's impossible to forget you
 
Huoy Meas: I don't have anyone to depend on
I only have my darling
Please be careful and take care
I will pray for you
[To] be able to, return fast, back home
To rejoin our love
 
Sinn Sisamouth: Please don't worry, my love
I will definitely not forget our promise
Please, let me swear [to you]
Let the gods be our witnesses
To be devoted to love
That I'll only love you until I die
 

Leave Me Alone

Please leave me alone
No more love
Good memories
I do not have any.
Shake me.
You'll leave again.
 
Even when we return
You do not have the time.
I do not want to hate you.
Without you I was barely
It's alive again.
 
Whenever I leave,
You said you worried 'bout me
I did not wait for you.
It's because of you.
It's easy.
I burned and trampled all my heart.
When I stood by your side
To you anytime
It was a house to come back to.
 
Again and again
The time is just a wound.
It's no more meaningful lies.
I do not want to hear it anymore.
 
Please leave me alone
No more love
Good memories
I do not have any.
Shake me.
You'll leave again.
 
Even when we return
You do not have the time.
I do not want to hate you.
Without you I was barely
It's alive again.
 
You create another me
You left him.
Love was poisoned
The memory will kill in seconds.
I will try to move on.
I'll forget all the stops.
The little farewell you threw
The weight of the whole world
 
Again and again
The time is just a wound.
It's no more meaningful lies.
I do not want to hear it anymore.
 
Please leave me alone
No more love
Good memories
I do not have any.
Shake me.
You'll leave again.
 
Even when we return
You do not have the time.
I do not want to hate you.
Without you I was barely
It's alive again.
 
Now leave me alone
I think I'll take care of you.
My heart will not be my will.
I'll catch you again soon.
 
Find another love
Do not take a step toward me
Our time is now stopping here
I'll be happy for you.
 

Sentimental Stories

Is it in order to offer?
Is it by love,
or just for a laugh?
Is it for you?
 
Is it in order to seduce?
Is it forever,
or is it only to say
just a sweet word?
 
I sell roses.
I sell roses—
sentimental stories.
People talk to us,
dreaming of something else,
dreaming of sentimental stories.
 
Is it in order to offer?
Is it in order to pack it?
Do I deliver it to you?
Do you turn the page?
 
Finally, in order to finish,
do you need to water?
Do you have to say it
in order to tell you something else?
 
I sell roses.
I sell roses—
sentimental stories.
People talk to us,
dreaming of something else,
dreaming of sentimental stories.

Applause

Everything revolves around me
and I understand so little about us.
Actually, nothing at all anymore.
I'm so angry,
but I don't want to be an angry person anymore
and I don't want to hate you, either.
It's just that after all that's happened,
I find it hard to let the anger go.
 
I want you to stop.
I want you to stop.
What's inside me, me should stop, stop,
stop, stop.
 
I let everything out.
I let you out,
I just scream you out.
I scream you out,
scream you out,
one last round of applause for what we used to be.
Now I scream as loud as I can.
I scream you out,
scream you out.
 
Hard to imagine
that we used to be so good to each other.
Everything keeps turning,
just not together in unison.
 
I want you to stop.
I want you to stop.
What's inside me, me should stop, stop,
stop, stop.
 
I let everything out.
I let you out,
I just scream you out.
I scream you out,
scream you out,
one last round of applause for what we used to be.
Now I scream as loud as I can.
I scream you out,
scream you out.
 
I let everything out.

Okay

When my friends ask me,
“Hey, Lea, you still coming?'
and I say, “I'm up to my ears with stuff,
can't make it again today,”
I'm really just lying here alone in my bed.
 
I wanna hide where no one can see me,
but maybe I'd actually like to be with them.
Maybe I should've gone,
but now it's too late.
 
And when you call, I don't answer
'cause I just can't right now.
 
I don't want you to see me like this,
the way I'm just lying here under the blanket.
 
Am I really okay?
Why do I feel alone here?
What's my problem?
Wanna get out, but I just stay here.
 
I'm just hurting myself.
Can't sleep, it's already half past three.
Am I really okay?
And is this ever gonna go away?
 
I hear myself saying things I don't mean.
I ask myself if I'm okay.
I say “Yes' and think “No.”
I'm angry with myself and I feel so lousy.
 
Whenever we fight till one of us cries,
then I slam the door, sometimes I'm way too mean
instead of telling you I love you.
 
And when you call, I don't answer
'cause I just can't right now.
 
I don't want you to see me like this,
the way I'm just lying here under the blanket.
 
Am I really okay?
Why do I feel alone here?
What's my problem?
Wanna get out, but I just stay here.
 
I'm just hurting myself.
Can't sleep, it's already half past three.
Am I really okay?
And is this ever gonna go away?
 
Am I really okay?
Am I really okay?
 

It´s not my birthday

It´s a very special birthday
and we´re going to celebrate
playing with my friends
 
But as soon as the cake arrives
I want to eat it
blow all the candles
 
And I wish I dont have to wait
one year to pass
I would like to celebrate every day
a birthday, my birthday

Još uvek učim

Oh, oh
Yeah
 
Trebalo bi da živim san
Ali ja živim sa obezbeđenjem
I to se neće promeniti, ne
Paranoična sam
I ne bi verovao
Šta sam sev videla, ne
Pucam po šavovima
I niko oko mene ne zna
 
Ko sam ja, na čemu sam
Koga sam povredila i gde su oni
Znam da sam grešila
Ali pokušavam da to ispravim
Onima koji me vole, izvedite me
Vodite me odavde odmah
I znajte da vas volim
 
Ali još uvek učim da volim sebe
(Da volim, da volim, da volim)
Ali još uvek učim da volim sebe
(Da volim, da volim, da volim)
 
Trebalo bi da živim san
Ali ja idem kući i nemam samopouzdanja
Misliš da se valjam u novcu
Ali je raširen po mom porodičnom stablu
NIjedan muškarac ne želi da se veže
Iziritiran jer bivam plaćena
U gužvi, čitaš mi sa usana
Ali niko oko mene ne zna
 
Ko sam ja, na čemu sam
Koga sam povredila i gde su oni
Znam da sam grešila
Ali pokušavam da to ispravim
Iste greške opet i opet
Svim mojim pijateljima, izvinjavam se
Znajte da vas volim
 
Ali još uvek učim da volim sebe
(Da volim, da volim, da volim)
Ali još uvek učim da volim sebe
(Da volim, da volim, da volim)
Oh, i ja pokušavam da se ponekad setim
Ako dišem, sve je uredu, ali neke stvari se ne menjaju
Ali još uvek učim da volim sebe
(Da volim, da volim, da volim)
 
Ko sam ja, na čemu sam
Koga sam povredila i gde su oni
Znam da sam grešila
Ali pokušavam da to ispravim
Onima koji me vole, izvedite me
I onima koji me vole
 
Ali još uvek učim da volim sebe
(Da volim, da volim, da volim)
Ali još uvek učim da volim sebe
(Da volim, da volim, da volim)
Oh, i ja pokušavam da se ponekad setim
Ako dišem, sve je uredu, ali neke stvari se ne menjaju
Ali još uvek učim da volim sebe
(Da volim, da volim, da volim)
da volim sebe, pokušavam da volim sebe
 
Još uvek učim da volim sebe
 

Goodbye planet Earth

Every Sunday I descend into the cellar,
I grab a screwdriver and start to build a space ship,
I add a turbine to the engine,
to the radiator, a timing belt
I paint wings on the rudder
and protect the fuselage with the asbestos plates.
 
I pour fuel into the tank,
I load first aid supplies,
I secure along tea and bread,
I fasten safety belt and helmet strap fastener,
I turn fuel valve open
I feed spark to the ignition engine
I set my cell phone into the airplane mode,
and blast myself to the winds of sky.
 
Goodbye planet Earth,
I depart to greet my creator.
 
Goodbye, comrade Stalin.
goodbye, Noah ark,
goodbye, African savanas
goodbye, emperor Nero
goodbye, the third reich,
goodbye, radioactive rays
goodbye, the Pacific ocean
goodbye, Egyptian pyramids
goodbye, internet
goodbye, babushka
 
goodbye, Pontius Pilatus
goodbye, subway stations of Moscow
goodbye, Jules Verne
goodbye, illuminati
goodbye, cash machines
goodbye, father Sun
goodbye, Mao's red book
goodbye, seventh continent
goodbye, Ural rowan
goodbye, Alla Pugatšova
 

I simmer slowly

I simmer slowly
Like Chamin on Shabbat
In an instant world
I simmer slow
 
I’m simmering...I’m simmering
I simmer slow
Kheli Ya hali
 
So don't chew me like fast food
I haven’t finished the song yet
You wanted me in Hebrew already
But my heart sings in Yemenite
 
I’m not easy to digest
I come with the Yemenite trill
That's me
That's me
 
I simmer slowly
Like Chamin on Shabbat
In an instant world
I simmer slow
 
I’m simmering...I’m simmering
I simmer slow
Kheli Ya hali
 
Sacred words or cliche words
I mix them shamelessly
Until I'm hot
Boiling
Sizzling
I simmer slow
 

Do not remain of ice

[Verse 1]
Fears in your head when you wake up
Still no answers to yesterday's questions
The same feeling that everything goes too fast
Like a whirlwind when we talk about the future
 
[Pre-chorus]
Being wrong, falling, shedding tears, you already did
You think you’re alone but believe me when I say we’ve been there*
Being wrong, falling, shedding tears, you already did
The pressure makes you paranoid
 
[Chorus]
Do not remain of ice
Don’t wait for it to pass
Don't let doubts come your way
You know, life is short, take it in hand
Do not remain of ice
Don’t wait for it to pass***
Don't let doubts come your way
You know, life is short, take it in hand
 
[Verse 2]
No one can give you the key
We are often alone when we have to move forward**
One knee on the ground, the other (leg/foot) is ready
To face everything you wanted to hide, okay
 
[Pre-chorus]
Being wrong, falling, shedding tears, you already did
You think you’re alone but believe me when I say we’ve been there
Being wrong, falling, shedding tears, you already did
The pressure makes you paranoid
 
[Chorus]
Do not remain of ice
Don’t wait for it to pass
Don't let doubts come your way
You know, life is short, take it in hand
 
[Chorus]
Do not remain of ice
Don’t wait for it to pass
Don't let doubts come your way
You know, life is short, take it in hand
Do not remain of ice
Don’t wait for it to pass
Don't let doubts come your way
You know, life is short, take it in hand
 

Leap and manea

On a leap's lap
it's a hole in the heaven
that's dark and deep...
 
From a corner of a stone,
a sheeper is watching
how the sheep herd
is falling
into that big void...
 
As a sheep was falling
she was making a sound
then she was dying
the shepherd was screeming to her
 
That's your wedding,
my dear sheep...
That's your wedding,
my dear sheep...
 
Dai-rai-ra-ra-ra-rai-ra
Dai-rai-ra-ra-ra-rai-ra
Hai-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra...
 
At the window,
our girl
is dancing in a blue dress
Never ever had a curtain
All the world was watching her.
 
You got money, you give
If you don't
you miss a turn...
 
Anybody that was there
had his eyes for the girl
watching her as on the big screen
but no one paying
 
You got money, you give
If you don't
you miss a turn...
 
When the gipsy lady thought,
and put a token for watching
it was a tragedy,
but the cash started to come!
 
You got money, you give
If you don't
you miss a turn...
 
Time is rushing by
She starts to pay the people,
all the people are dancing
at the window she's watching
 
You got money, you give
If you don't
you miss a turn...
 

Andreea

Andreea, come and play with someone
He's waiting down the corner dressed in PJs
Picked all the flowers from the town
to show you his feelings
Andreea, why did you chase him in his PJs?
You could let him take his shirt, at least,
Andreea, it doesn't matter how you lied o him
or the locks that you turned into white
Andreea...
 
Andreea, if you have someone else,
call his mother to came and take him away
for since he's been sitting after the blocks in his PJs,
It started to stink and the whole block is terrified
Andreea...
 
I'm Andreea and I'm in collage, learning... good
My parents are spending a lot of money for me
sending letters from Lybia that don't come anymore
 
I've bought an appartment to stay with me
When you came, you said... 'OK'
Why don't you wanna talk to me
when my parents said to yours 'OK'
Why don't you wanna talk to me
when my parents said to yours 'OK'
 

Warm and subtle sickness...

Warm and subtle sickness...
Warm and subtle sickness...
The straw man
with straw eyes
and straw mouth
and straw teeth
with plastic soul
and plastic thoughts
heart of plastic
and plastic, and plastic...
 
The warm and subtle sickness...
it's laying down
warming me
and melting my
plastic mind,
plastic thoughts
plastic speaking
and plastic life
 
Warm and subtle sickness...
Warm and subtle sickness...
Warm and subtle sickness...
 

The Army(Rodica)

The army is on the street
it's a big danger
They shoot out all the working ladies,
but Rodica is on her feet!
 
Whoever said that we don't have history?
Whoever said that we have no memory?
Rodica is the proof
Let's rip her and turn her into a flag!
 
That's how it always was
when the Rodica-named ladies were one...
One only thought, one only aim
One only dream, one only goal:
To rip her and turn her into a flag!
 
Rodica is the mother of all sons,
daughter of all mothers
Housewife of all the people
man of all the housewives
Let's rip her and turn her into a flag!
Let's rip her and turn her into a flag!
Let's rip her and turn her into a flag!
Let's rip her and turn her into a flag!
 
Rodica is the salvation of all sick
the sick of all salvations
Joy of all babies,
baby of all joys
Let's rip her and turn her into a flag!
Let's rip her and turn her into a flag!
Let's rip her and turn her into a flag!
Let's rip her and turn her into a flag!
 
Through her, we can have the same goal:
Let's rip her and turn her into a flag!
 

Pedeset načina da ostaviš dragu

'Problem je samo u tvojoj glavi'
Reče mi ona
'Odgovor je prost
ako gledaš logično.
Hoću da ti pomognem u borbi
da budeš slobodan.
Pa ima makar
pedeset načina da ostaviš dragu!'
 
Reče 'stvarno nemam običaj da se namećem.
Pored toga, nadam se da se moje mišljenje
neće biti izgubljeno ili iskrivljeno.
Ali ponavljam,
pa neka i bila gruba:
Pa ima makar
pedeset načina da ostaviš dragu'.
 
Pedeset načina da ostaviš dragu:
 
Zbriši na zadnja vrata, Džek,
napravi novi plan, Sten,
ne moraš da se stiskaš, Roj,
samo se reši muke.
Uskoči u bas, Gas!
Ne raspravljaj se previše.
Samo joj ostavi ključeve, Li,
i reši se muke!
 
Ma zbriši na zadnja vrata, Džek,
napravi novi plan, Sten,
ne moraš da se stiskaš, Roj,
samo se reši muke.
Uskoči u bas, Gas!
Ne raspravljaj se previše.
Samo joj ostavi ključeve, Li,
i reši se muke!
 
Reče 'baš me pogađa to
što te vidim da se tako mučiš.
Htela bih da mogu nešto da uradim
da ti vratim osmeh!'
Rekoh: 'Cenim to.
I objasni molim te
za tih pedeset načina!'
 
Ona reče 'Zašto oboje ne bismo
ostavili to za ujutro,
verujem da ćeš tada
početi da vidiš svetlo.'
I onda me poljubi,
a ja shvatih da je verovatno u pravu,
ima makar
pedeset načina da ostaviš dragu.
 
Pedeset načina da ostaviš dragu:
 
Zbriši na zadnja vrata, Džek,
napravi novi plan, Sten,
ne moraš da se stiskaš, Roj,
samo se reši muke.
Uskoči u bas, Gas!
Ne raspravljaj se previše.
Samo joj ostavi ključeve, Li,

Leave It

Although I'm not a perfect person,
you accepted me. Were you my everything?
It is lke a dangerous single-line ride.
When the line is shaking, I'm afraid I'm going to fall.
 
Don't hold me tight. I've barely emptied you.
Leave me alone. I'm O.K.
It's a lie. Leave it.
 
I guess I was in a good mood.
I miss you.
Do you know I'm swayed by emotions?
I don't want to hurt you.
Why do you touch me and shake my feelings?
I know. I know very well. That Sorry
It's a lie. Leave it.
 
I think I wanted to kiss you.
I think I had you for me,
not for you.
I can't sleep because I'm selfish.
After this night, I close my eyes.
I know. That Sorry
It's a lie. Leave it.
 
That's a good deal.
I'm sober.
How many words did I say when I wasn't ready?
I feel relieved.
 
It makes you wetter when it rains.
It makes all the dark clouds go out of my mind.
In a false world, make you shine.
It doesn't make you see tainted me any more.
Eat it.
Blank head flies as white as a sheet
Now it's a distinct state to turn.
Have you ever seen me like this? I get so high.
 
Don't hold me tight. I've barely emptied you.
Leave me alone. I'm O.K.
It's a lie. Leave it.
 
I guess I was in a good mood.
I miss you.
Do you know I'm swayed by emotions?
I don't want to hurt you.
Why do you touch me and shake my feelings?
I know. I know very well. That Sorry
It's a lie. Leave it.
 
I think I wanted to kiss you.
I think I had you for me,
not for you.
I can't sleep because I'm selfish.
After this night, I close my eyes.
I know. That Sorry.
It's a lie. Leave it.
 
Because I don't want to be lonely.
I pretended to be crazy. You know me well.
I want you to erase me
to heal my wounded heart.
 
I guess I was in a good mood.
I miss you.
Do you know I'm swayed by emotions?
I don't want to hurt you.
Why do you touch me and shake my feelings?
I know I know very well. That Sorry
It's a lie. Leave it.

Good-bye. Although it hurts my heart... Although I love you...
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na
It's a lie. Leave it.
 

Stream of Air

I'm burned out
I'm breathing heavily
All in vain, again.
I've wasted so much time.
My lungs,
full of smoke
only one last drag --
I want to breathe freedom.
 
And then I take off into the night, I want to see
what's coming, I want to go
To the east or to the west -- it doesn't matter
I only feel the
stream of air, this stream of air.
I take off into the night, I only feel the
stream of air, this stream of air.
 
Some warm tar
and desolation.
I'm floating through the streets
I want to waste time
Just me and two
tires that
would carry me quietly.
Oh, I want to breathe freedom
 
And then I take off into the night, I want to see
what's coming, I want to go
To the east or to the west -- it doesn't matter
I only feel the
stream of air, this stream of air.
I take off into the night, I only feel the
stream of air, this stream of air.
 
And then I take off into the night, I want to see
what's coming, I want to go
To the east or to the west -- it doesn't matter
I only feel the
stream of air, this stream of air.
I take off into the night, I only feel the
stream of air, this stream of air.
 

The Postman

There was a young man from afar
Who carried a letter for me
Ah! Oh
He came to my door
Ah! Oh...
 
He smiled and said that someone
Missed me far away
And asked me to unfold the letter
And reply to him after reading it
 
So that the postman could told him it all
Why it was unexpected
So strange, out of expectations
Ah! Oh...
The mysterious postman
Ah! Eh-oh...
 
He was so abrupt
That made my heart race and made me doubt
He addressed no name or surname
How could I trust such a young man
Ah! Oh
The mysterious postman
Do tell me, what you are thinking about
 
Don't let time go by like this
Because the past just can't be brought back
Please do tell me
What you are thinking about
I know that you love me

Dark Woman from the Sea

Oh dark1 woman from the sea, oh me, oh, dark woman from the sea
Oh dark woman from the sea, it's me, I've just arrived
Oh dark woman from the sea
I said that I was going to return
Oh, I said that I was going to arrive,
I've arrived
Oh dark woman from the sea
I said that I was going to return
Oh, I said that I was going to arrive,
I've arrived
To please you
Oh, I brought the little fishes from the sea
Dark woman
To bewitch you,
I brought little shells from the sea
The stars of the sky
Dark woman
And the starfishes
Oh, the silver and gold pieces of Iemanjá2
Oh, the silver and gold pieces of Iemanjá

14 years old

I was 14 years old
when my father called me
And asked me if I wanted
to study philosophy
Medicine or engineering
I had to be a doctor
But my aspiration
was to have a guitar
To become a samba musician
So then he admonished me:
'Samba musicians aren't worth anything,
in this land of doctors'
And your doctor,
my father was right
I see a samba be sold,
And the samba musician forgotten
Its true author
I am stricken with poverty,
but I won't sell
My timid samba, no sir
 

French Joana

You laugh, you lie too much
You cry, you die too much
You have the tropics
In your blood and in your skin
You moan crazy and dazed
It's already daybreak
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
 
Make me die of laughter
Speak to me of love
Dreams and lies
I know them from afar and I know them by heart
You moan with pleasure and with terror
It's already daybreak
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
 
Come wet my lap
I will console you
Come, tender mulatto,
To dance in my arms
Come, boy, tell me
Where your sun,
Your embers are
 
Who bewitched me
The sea, the tide, the boat
You have the perfume
Of sugarcane liquor and of sweat
You moan from sloth and warmth
It's already daybreak
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
 

Ole, Ola

Don't cry yet, because I have a guitar
And we're going to sing
Happiness can pass and listen here
And if she is of samba she shall stay
Your priest rings the bell to make the world know
That the night is a child, that samba is a boy
That the pain is so old that it can die
Ole, ole, ole, ola
There is samba leftover, let anyone who knows how to samba
Enter the samba circle and show off their sway
But be very careful, it's not worth crying
 
Don't cry yet, because I have a reason
For you not to cry
Friend, forgive me, if I haphazardly insist
But life is good for those who sing
My pine, play loudly to wake everyone up
Don't speak of life, nor speak of death
Have pity on the girl, don't let her cry
Ole, ole, ole, ola
There is samba leftover, let anyone who knows how to samba
Enter the samba circle and show off their sway
But be very careful, it's not worth crying
 
Don't cry yet, because I have the impression
That samba is on its way
It's such an immense samba that sometimes I think
That time itself will stop to listen
Moonlight, wait a bit, so that my samba can arrive
I know that the guitar is weak, that it is hoarse
But my voice didn't grow tired of calling out
Ole, ole, ole, ola
There is samba leftover, no one wants to samba
There isn't anyone who sings anymore, nor is their any other place
The Sun arrived before the samba arrived
Who passes by doesn't care, they're going to work now
And you, my friend, can cry now
 

Tell them that I went over there

If someone asks about me
Tell them that I went over there
Carrying my guitar under my arm
I stop at any street corner
I enter into any tavern
If there is any motive
I'll just be playing another samba
If they want to know whether I am returning
Tell them yes
But only after the longing leaves me
But only after the longing leaves me
I have a guitar to accompany me
I have many friends, I am popular
I have the dawn as my companion
The longing pains me, my chest gnaws away at me
I am in the city, I am in the favela
I am over there
Always thinking about her
 
If someone asks about me
Tell them that I went over there
Carrying my guitar under my arm
I stop at any street corner
I enter into any tavern
If there is any motive
I'll just be playing another samba
If they want to know whether I am returning
Tell them yes
But only after the longing leaves me
But only after the longing leaves me
 

Jasno

Voleo bih da imam dva lica, da dokazem koja teorija je tacna
Vikanje na ulicne ivice ili pametno maskirati svoje reci,
Skinem svoje lice pred vratima jer ne znam kako ce me shvatiti
Sta ako im kazem sta sam radio sinoc
Jesam li ili nisam bio uhvacen, mozda
pocnju da ratuju sa tobom, tako da je tacno
Da sam upucao svog generala na mojoj strani
 
(2x)
Ja sam sin svega sto sam uradio
Ja sam sin svega sto sam uradio
Uljez, podignut, onda je moj novi otac isusio moju prljavu krv.
 
Ne pokusavam da te lazem
Ali poterban je pametan decko da uradi ono sto ja radim
Potrebno je malo vere i dobro namestene energije
Da subliminalno ubacis sebe u sebe samog
Pretrazivanje u ime ove sednice
Prenesi ovu infekciju na sledeceg
pa na sledeceg pa na sledeceg i kad smo gotovi
Svi smo napravili nesto novo pod suncem
Nisam zavrsio, nisam zavrsio jos uvek, ne
Zbaci me sa scene i uzmi mi mikrofon
Onda ces mi prici i kad dodjes blizu
Pogledacu te u lice i reci 'Gde ti je dom?
Gde si krenuo i zasto si ovde?'
'Da li si pitao ova pitanja? Da li si bio iskren?'
Zelis li da znas u sta ja verujem? Ovde je
Pogledaj malo blize i jasno je.
 
(2x)
Ja sam sin svega sto sam uradio
Ja sam sin svega sto sam uradio
Uljez, podignut, onda je moj novi otac isusio moju prljavu krv.
 
(x3)
Recicu ti sta mogu
Ali tvoj um ce zauzeti stav
Ja pevam za vecu ljubav
Reci mi kada ti je dosta.
 

Boy named Päivi

Versions: #3
I told it all in my letter
If I won't leave this place, I'm betraying myself
I went to see the world
The streets of this small town make me anxious
 
I was a boy named Päivi
And I didn't know whether I was a Romeo or a Juliet
I was a boy named Päivi
And I just wanted to kiss those painted lips of yours
 
I couldn't get any sleep at night
Just stared the ceiling until the morning came
People told me
'If you don't change, you'll end up in Hell'
 
I was a boy named Päivi
And I didn't know whether I was a Romeo or a Juliet
I was a boy named Päivi
And I just wanted to kiss those painted lips of yours
 
Let the people stare all they want
Though sometimes it feels so difficult
Friendship is a thing we share
Distance hurts in my soul
 
I was a boy named Päivi
And I didn't know whether I was a Romeo or a Juliet
I was a boy named Päivi
And I just wanted to kiss those painted lips of yours

Over the Hype

If after tonight
You find me dead in a field
I was the one that chose this
I was the one that looked for this
I've always believed in you
Even after it's over
Clenched fists and hard nosed
I've always been an Inter Milan fan
I'm telling you under my breath
I don't know how to love you when the sun's out
I'm sorry but really
Music, I only love you when it rains
Yeah
 
Because we are
Over the hype
Over the hype
Over the hype
However it goes I'll never cry
Over the hype
Over the hype
Over the hype
And fuck you, you're leaving
 
Life in late September
Maybe ultimately it's like a bear
It will only leave you alone
If you know how to play dead
But what do they want to know
About what happiness is
They don't listen Battisti
And don't put onion in their kebab
So find me a pretty field where I can die with dignity
Like cats that withdraw far away from people
I don't want to hear anything anymore
Not even music
Yaha ha
 
Because we are
Over the hype
Over the hype
Over the hype
However it goes I'll never cry
Over the hype
Over the hype
Over the hype
And fuck you, you don't know anything
 
I'm leaving now but it's important to me
That people know that I lived
On my grave write:
'The first couple were good, then he sold out'
 
Over the hype
Over the hype
Over the hype
However it goes I'll never cry
Over the hype
Over the hype
Over the hype
And fuck you, you're leaving
 

Runway

I am only on the hop
I am only existing with coffee and airsteam
Since weeks in intoxication
Every day is planned
I catch the moments
Want to share them with you
No feelings any more for time
I am loosing my grip
 
But the lights fo your streets
Are my runway
I was so long not at home
So long not in your arms
But the lights of your street
Shine brighter then the city
I can´t wait any more
I am coming home tonight
 
Full of adrenaline
The heart beats twice as fast
Every night overexiceted
And the spotlights to bright
I catch the moments
It´s to hard for me to share them
Our lives are postponed
Parallel worlds bang
 
But the lights fo your streets
Are my runway
I was so long not at home
So long not in your arms
But the lights of your street
Shine brighter then the city
I can´t wait any more
I am coming home tonight
 
I am coming home
I am coming home
I am coming home
Tonight
I am coming home
I am coming home
Tonight
 

Elina, what am I going to do

Versions: #3
Ellu was a cashier
In that one cafe
We lived in its backroom for some time
 
I didn't get a job from anywhere
We stayed up all night together
I have no idea of what I'll do
I guess I'll send the kids to facility
 
Is there anything in life that there's enough of
Couldn't the mindless twist ease up just for a moment
We even tried to make ourselves believe that
We'd get an electric stove next to the freezer
 
When Ellu always cried during her worktime
She got fired from that
And we freezed in the hall of the ATM all night
She was probably pregnant again
I stole her a jacket from somewhere
I have no idea of what I'll do
I'm a prisoner of the circumstances
 
Is there anything in life that there's enough of
Couldn't the constant pressure ease up just for a moment
How many times do you have to get beaten up here
How quickly does all the money and reputation vanish
 
And Ellu was hit by a taxi
When turning left
It didn't use the turn signal, even though they claimed so
It was a humble funeral
I'd want the same kind for myself too
I have no idea of what I'll do
I'm numb with the feeling of pain
 
Is there anything in life that there's enough of
Couldn't the mindless twist ease up just for a moment
We even tried to make ourselves believe that
We'd get an electric stove next to the freezer
 
Is there anything in life that there's enough of
Couldn't the constant pressure ease up just for a moment
How many times do you have to get beaten up here
How quickly does all the money and reputation
Vanish
 
Elina, what am I going to do

Big bad wolf

Patience right from the get-go
Is his strategy.
Don't cry if he doesn't answer
The time will come, the time will come
The big bad wolf will eat you up
 
He keeps you in suspense
like tens of others as well
Arranges a date
then doesn't come.
Never mind, never mind
The big bad wolf will eat you up
 
Oh he's gonna get you
at the bend in the woods
Oh he's gonna get you
at the bend in the woods
 
Standing there, he's like ice
Then he leans in for your neck
He cares about you
And then he leaves in the same way he came
Never mind, never mind
 
After all your mistakes,
never mind, never mind,
you won't forget him
or his appealing name
Ring-ring, here he is again.
It's evil himself who is ringing.
 
Oh he's gonna get you
at the bend in the woods
Oh he's gonna get you
at the bend in the woods
 
Oh he's gonna get you
at the bend in the woods
The big bad wolf will eat you up
 

Please

Is it goodbye for us
Even though I wished and wished
Things that don't work, don't work in any way
I know that trying to hold on is useless but
What do I do
 
It's more natural to break in the wind
Here where it used to be bright
Forgotten kingdom
Yes I'm buried here
The memory which rips apart sleep and the loneliness which stings your eyes
All of those I think
Are now unnecessary
 
I gotta see tomorrow
But I can’t open my eyes
Cuz it’s too hurt
Just kill me quietly
If disappearing quietly
Is better
 
Even if I die I can't live without you
Even in my next life I'll find you
Please wait a little I'm running towards you
Even a small moment is good so just once please
 
Please don't go, even if I shout that to the end
You have no reaction whatsoever, how can you leave me
And not even blink an eye, pretend you didn't see
Please look at me even once
The old regrets rewind
Immaturely I failed
If I could just hold onto you again
I'll go to the end of this world
The wishing that couldn't disappear in the end
Our promise
The unfamiliar goodbye which we couldn't prepare
The end of waiting
 
Even if I die I can't live without you
Even in my next life I'll find you
Please wait a little I'm running towards you
Even a small moment is good so just once please
 
The darkness just seems to be
growing stronger in my life
Like the symbiote venom,
it’s already inside
But I’m not a good match for it
so it’s eating me alive
It’s taking control of the wheel
it’s going into overdrive
On the backroad to see ya
They told me that this way is faster
Hold up took a wrong turn
Don’t even know where
we’re going anymore trap door
I’m at the end of the road
They told me this way
I could see you for sure
But it’s just getting darker and darker
I’m losing the light but
it doesn’t even matter anymore
because
 
I won't be able to live without you
Even in my next life it'll be you
 
Even if I die I can't live without you
Even in my next life I'll find you
Please wait a little I'm running towards you
Even a small moment is good so just once please
Is it goodbye for us
Even though I wished and wished
Things that don't work, don't work in any way
