Sand Man

Ruler since forever
Violent and marauder
You confidently went.
 
A gust of wind
Onto my feeling
Made you fall down
From that ancient monument.
 
Chorus:
Sand Man, go,
you're in the desert and you don't know.
Sand Man, go,
Yet you have no slave1.
 
You went and came
You wanted and got
What a happiness!
 
You played with the hearts
Of those whom you didn't love,
You joked with me but
The world has changed inside you.
 
Chorus:
Sand Man, go,
you're in the desert and you don't know.
Sand Man, go,
Yet you have no slave.
 
If you see a woman
With the face of a Virgin Mary
Be very careful that it's not a mirage, what you see.
 
Come on, get going!
Life is just a passage
Yesterday it was you who ruled sex, and now...
 
Chorus:
Sand Man, go,
you're in the desert and you don't know.
Sand Man, go,
Yet you have no slave.
 
Ruler since forever
Violent and marauder
You confidently went.
 
A gust of wind
Onto my feeling
Made you fall down
From that ancient monument.
 
Chorus: (x2)
Sand Man, go,
you're in the desert and you don't know.
I'm already a woman now
And so you won't have a slave!

My homeland is beautiful

Versions: #2
A beautiful word and two more, my homeland is beautiful
A beautiful song and two more, my homeland is beautiful
My hope was always, my homeland
To come back to you, my homeland
And stay with you always
 
The memories of the past.. remember, my homeland?
My heart is full of stories.. remember, my homeland?
My first love was in my homeland
I can never forget it, my homeland
Where are those days of the past before the farewell
 
We used to say that separation was impossible
And every tear on the cheeks used to drop
Filled with hope that we will stay
In the sea of love and along the two shores
 
A beautiful word and many more, my homeland is beautiful
A beautiful song and many more, my homeland is beautiful
Where is the love of my heart, my homeland?
He was far away from me, my homeland
And each time I sing, I think of him
 
Tell me, my beloved, you are leaving me and going where?
It's the most beautiful melody we're both going to sing
How beautiful is the word 'my homeland' in a two-line song!

I Found My Love in Portofino

I found my love in Portofino
For I still believe in dreams
The odd game of destiny
In Portofino swept my heart
 
In the sweet enchantment of morning
The sea leads you towards me
Blinking eyes beside me
In Portofino I see you again
 
I recall a part1 of the sky
Where I was waiting for you
I recall this face so beloved
And your mouth ready to receive a kiss
 
I found my love in Portofino
Those kisses, forget them I won't
No longer is my road somber
For in Portofino, I found my love
 
I recall a part1 of the sky
Where I was waiting for you
I recall this face so beloved
And your mouth ready to receive a kiss
 
I found my love in Portofino
Those kisses, forget them I won't
No longer is my road somber
For in Portofino, I found my love
 
No longer is my road somber
For in Portofino, I found my love

Flower of Solitude

We lived we conversed we resisted
we crossed paths on the street under the trees
we perhaps made a little stir
we traced timid gestures in the air
but what words can explain
that ours was a solitary and silent
profoundly silent heart
and in the end our eyes watched
like eyes that watch in forests
In the midst of the tumultuous city
in the visible angle of its countless edges
the flower of solitude grew lusher each day
We had a name for this
but the ruthless time of men
killed in us the one who was dying
And in this ambitious heart
alone like a man christ dies
What shall we call the void that flows
relentless as a river?
It is born it swells it will empty
and in all of this it’s finally a sea
We lived we conversed we resisted
without realizing that in everything we die a little

Loneliness Dance

Loneliness is lava that covers everything
Bitterness in my mouth smiles with its lead teeth
Loneliness, word dug in my mouth
Resigned and mute in loneliness' compass
 
Disillusion, disillusion
I dance, you dance
In the loneliness' dance
 
Camélia is now a widow, Joana fell in love
Maria has tried to die, because of her love
My father always said me, care care, my son
When I think about the future, I don't forget the past
 
Disillusion, disillusion
I dance, you dance
In the loneliness' dance
 
When midnight cames, my thoughts they wander
I run the fingers on the viola, contemplating the full moon
After all, there's a pure water font
Whoever drinks that water, won't have bitterness anymore

The Piraeus children

Versions: #2
Basking in blue beneath the Greek sky
One boat, then two, then three
are sailing off singing.
Pecking at the sky,
One bird, then two, then three
are making good weather.
 
In the alleys, with a sharp crack
one shutter, then two, then three
are slammed by the wind.
And merrily with
a child, then two, then three,
they dance cheerfully.
 
(chorus : )
I love so much
this port far away
that the sun lights
with golden gleams.
 
I love so much
under their orange caps,
all the angel faces
of the Piraeus children.
 
I dream of having one day
One child, then two, then three
playing as they do.
Always along the banks
One daring sailor, then two, then three
take a stroll.
 
Our love will become
one, ten, a thousand loves
basking in blue.
And our children will become lads
That some girls,one day
will make happy.
 
(chorus)

Lady d'Arbanville

Versions: #2
My lady of Arbanville
I know your destiny
You'll live your life,
But a morning,
But a morning...
 
My lady of Arbanville,
The mirror broke off.
The winter has come,
But the spring hasn't,
The spring hasn't.
 
One day in may
A man woke you up
He slept in your eyes and then
He left you alone
And then he left you alone
 
Oh, Lady of Arbanville
I will remember you,
going back to the castle.
The mirror broke off,
The mirror broke off.
 
Your white hands,
Someone stroke them,
But then only the wind,
Told you about love,
Told you about love.
 
One day in may
A man woke you up
He slept in your eyes and then
He left you alone
And the he Left you alone.
 
Lady, my lady.
The mirror broke off
The winter has come,
But the spring hasn't,
The spring hasn't.

Tomorrow You Marry

Leave me alone leave me alone
Pity, have pity on me
I can no longer, no longer stand
seeing another love you
 
Tomorrow you will marry
she is prettier than me
she has all the qualities
but where is happiness?
 
Leave me alone, leave me alone
have pity, have pity on me
when you come to my side
a desire kindles in me
 
You have preferred the great honours
instead of my great love
 
And to satisfy an illusion
you destroyed our love
 
I know, I know, you still love me
The pride is greater yet
it has boiled in us
to guarantee your days
 
For that I no longer want you
You should never come back to me
I want to honour1 myself with you
tomorrow you will marry
 
Of her you will tire2
You'd come to me to dream
With her you will distinguish yourself
You'd come to me to love
 
This evening, I can't any longer
and I will tell you wit all my heart
tomorrow another you will marry
this evening, I tell you no
no! no!

To get there

Versions: #2
I went through nights and days without a sleep
To get there
I felt warm in the rain and cold in the scorching sun
To get there
I spoke to the fear and did shut up the silence
I made up hours, I sold my weekends
To get there, to get there
I cried so many times that I have no more tears
To get there
I fell a hundred times without laying down the arms
To get there
I tread on my life more often than in my turn
I put the end to almost all my loves
To get there, to get there
 
To get there, I had too many doubts of everything
of me, of you, of God
I left all my dreams of childhood behind me
Today my heart is almost in a state of emergency
To get there
I think that if I had a date with you
without a trace of regret
to get there
I will do all over again
 
I get used to grumble just inside of me
To get there
Not to show you that I have been pointed out
To get there
I traveled around the world, but I could not see anything
The absence was so deep that it stained my mirrors
To get there, to get there
 
To get there,
I had too many doubts of everything
of me, of you, of God
I left all my dreams of childhood behind me
Today my heart is almost in a state of emergency
To get there
I think that if I had a date with you
without a trace of regret
I will do all over again
 
To get there
I often forgot to take two tickets
Or to say: “Wait for me!”
To go nowhere I put in my memory
Only beginnings of affairs
To get there
I think that with you
if I had a date, without a trace of regret
I will do it again
To get there

The One In Love

(Chorus)
I am the one in love
Always in love
My heart talks with the hands
I need nothing
Of bread, of wine and I feel well
 
I am the one in love
I can't help it
I was born like that
My life is a fire of joy
I know not how to say I love you
Without burning, without opening [my] arms
And my anger and my passions
Are like volcanoes
It flows through my veins
Another blood
Made of sun and of song
 
I am the one in love
Always in love
Even if my heart is in France
There's a sort of Provence
In my head as [though] childhood anew1
 
I am the one in love
I can't help it
Without burning, without opening [my] arms
And my anger and my passions
Are like volcanoes
It flows through my veins
Another blood
Made of sun and of song
 
Chorus
 
Oh oh I am the one in love
Always the one in love
 
La, la, la...
 
Oh oh I am the one in love
Always the one in love
 
La, la, la...

Room of loneliness

When the night comes
The wind blows through my face
I start feeling nostalgic
I [can] hear the sound of a guitar
Playing love and passion
Everyone's got their own
 
I see a little bird from afar
Looking for its nest
And its love
[Then] I hear a pair of lovebirds
Grinning in love for each other
So brilliantly!
 
And me, staring at the moon
[Here] in my room of loneliness
I miss you
To ease my broken heart
(Repeat)
 
Leave, loneliness!
Give it a rest!
My lover is all I want
And nothing else
(Repeat)

Your Colored Hair

when your colored hair winds around my soul strand by strand
I’m strangled, there’s no cure, come quick
 
tangles in the arms of my heart
can’t they be unraveled?
its anguish holds the answer
but those eyes aren't looking
 
every ambiguity becomes a storm and leaves a scar
 
you didn’t see my tears
your shoulder wasn’t there for me
either hear my protest
or leave me to suffer alone
 
I couldn’t give enough
I couldn’t satisfy
I couldn’t see it through
I offered up my life in your honor
but couldn’t do it
 
that cigarette smolders, I’m tired of suffering
who could love a flower that despises its own stem?
 
tangles in the arms of my heart
can’t they be unraveled?
its anguish holds the answer
but those eyes aren't looking
 
my heart knows
the longer the hunt, the more elusive the hunted

Orpheus's Song

The sun will shine every day.
The world will hear every day
a song of love
because you will be with me,
always with me.
 
I can dream of everything.
I can hope for everything
from the moment you are with me.
 
The sun will shine every day.
The heart will sing every day
to dedicate to you
a thousand more paths,
to confide to you
all my love.
 
I can dream of everything.
I can hope for everything
from the moment you are with me.

It's No Longer My Song

It's no longer my song
It is no longer mine now
I who written it in an attic
I used to love my song
It is no longer mine now
 
The words are no longer mine
I changed them because
I used to sing about my life, but they did not understand it
I almost cried when I heard it
It is no longer mine now
 
I'd recount of my love
I'd recount of my lover
I put my heart [into] writing it
Maybe it will have success, but
It's no longer my song
 
They changed my song, but
They changed my song
I who had written it, words and melody
I used to love my song so much, but
They changed my song
 
They betrayed my song
And together with it also me
A song really isn't much
Yet they caused me harm truly
It's no longer my song
 
La, la, la...
 
But in my heart, there's no promise
I lose the success but remain myself
My song will not live [on]
 
It's no longer my song
They've now changed it
But in my heart, there's no promise
I lose the success but remain myself
My song will not live [on]

How beautiful life was

How beautiful life was
By your side day by day
Today everything is over
In the arms of another lover
 
Come morning, the one I loved
so much was gone
And I hopelessly cry
Without the hope of seeing him again
 
I don't want to think about
The joy, our kisses
Despite it all I hear his voice
Who tells me all these words
 
My friends tried
To help me forget
But I don't have any desire to
I'm dying of sadness
 
A girl is on his arm
Not too long ago, that was me
I'm the one who was kissing him
And that, I will always believe
 
When life was beautiful
By your side day by day
Today everything is over
But I will always wait for you

Return to normality

Finally it passed, it ended, the terrible terror.
The ferocius nightmare that fortunately is almost gone.
It let us wake up under a sun of new faith.
 
Finally it's broken, it's defeated, it's dead, it's over.
Or it's about to be over. It's known that it will be over.
Many people came out, it's back here.
 
Why it happened, I don't know. Some say it was
the triumph of reason, or the strength of the population.
The thing is that we meet again with a tradition.
 
Of peace, well-living, of voting from time to time
and enjoying your days without anybody saying
what is allowed to listen, see or write.
 
Finally cleared, died down this rain of horror,
downpours of authority, 'Documents, sir, where are?'
'Don't take me. I have them at home right there.'
 
I know. You'll say, 'more is needed, some things are left behind.
There are some troubles standing' But we see advances daily.
A commitee is working next home.
 
Maybe we could have in some time that they give
a solution to that issue of the old unemployment
for everyone to become part of the nation.
 
There if it's also given, by the tought struggle
or a subimperial gift, the greatest total freedom,
we could stick to the national anthem.
 
And yes. we have to hear over there that living is hard.
That the wages aren't enough neither to feed a child.
It always happened like that more or less.
 
If else, go ask the old men at the bar
if here in the fifties, the real income was high.
If the union life was just a decoration.
 
That way will rule again here in Uruguay,
what was always the normal. You might say it's not the ideal,
but we must safeguard what is traditional.
 
To ask, to achieve the supression of the expensive soap
of the state of exception, and recover the nature
of citizens not subjected to dissapearing.
 
For a natural Uruguay, where the rich will be
always rich, and the poor over there, if he ever pretends to reach
equal rights, will bring the state of exception.
 
Which, in the end, like when it's carnival,
and the murga is about to leave, it says goodbye and also,
that someday it promise to return, and rule.
 
But today, just think, that it leaves, that is almost not here.
the ferocius nightmare that fortunately is almost gone.
Though you know nobody died of almost.
 
Finally. Finally. What?

Psiho Praznik

Prazan i preznojen
Glava mi lezi u tvom narucju
Tresem se u cosku
Popio sam previse alkohola
Moram pobeci od svega ovoga
Jer osecam da mi se krv zamrzava
 
Moje ludilo je uzelo maha
Frustracija je preuzela kontrolu
 
Sada sam daleko od kuce
Provodim vreme sam
Vreme je da oslobodim svoje demone
Bio sam stavljen na test
Moj um je legao da odmori
Ja sam na psiho prazniku
 
Upucan na licu mesta
Ti si meta paznje
Jedna zena ovde, druga tamo
Ne mozes da udovoljavas ljudima sve vreme
Ne mozes da razlikujes strance od prijatelja koje znas
 
Frustracija je preuzela kontrolu
 
Sada sam daleko od kuce
Provodim vreme sam
Vreme je da oslobodim svoje demone
Bio sam stavljen na test
Moj um je legao da odmori
Ja sam na psiho prazniku
 
(Treca strofa)
Zarobljen sam za citav zivot
Da li sam ovde ziveo
Ili umro
Vi zelite moje pare
Vi mi oduzimate prostor
Moj um mi govori
Da napustim ovo mesto
 
Moje ludilo je uzelo maha
Frustracija je preuzela kontrolu
 
Sada sam daleko od kuce
Provodim vreme sam
Vreme je da oslobodim svoje demone
Bio sam stavljen na test
Moj um je legao da odmori
Ja sam na psiho prazniku
 
Sada sam daleko od kuce
Provodim vreme sam
Vreme je da oslobodim svoje demone
Bio sam stavljen na test
Moj um je legao da odmori
Ja sam na psiho prazniku
 
Sada sam daleko od kuce
Provodim vreme sam
Vreme je da oslobodim svoje demone
Bio sam stavljen na test
Moj um je legao da odmori
Ja sam na psiho prazniku

Julien

Julien, stop
Tonight I want to talk
And not party
I have so many things in my head
That you do not understand
 
Julien, listen
Before you, I burned my life
In the great fire of indifference
So many men have traversed my nights
Leaving me a great silence
Waiting for deliverance
To avoid habits
I dressed in solitude
Until you...
 
Julien tenderness
Julien caresses
Julien the dreamer
Julien the mocker
Who never keeps his promises
 
Julien my joy and my hell
Julien my peace
Julien my war
Julien my lost paradise
Julien for me...
 
Julien the wild
Julien travels
Julien goes away
Julien returns
Holding my life in his hands
 
Julien my thirst
Julien my hunger
My house my bread and my wine
Julien my only reason to live
Julien for me...
 
Julien, listen
I wanted to make of our love
A world that resembles you
I often lost without you
I wanted to win together
But when the carousel stops spinning
You have to know how to get off
Without tears and without waiting
And go away
 
Julien tenderness
Julien caresses
Julien the dreamer
Julien the mocker
Who never keeps his promises
 
Julien my joy and my hell
Julien my peace
Julien my war
Julien my lost paradise
Julien for me...
 
Julien who breaks
Julien who tires
Julien who leaves without caring
Julien who comes back on his knees
 
Julien my shame
Julien my glory
Julien my defeat, my victory
 
Julien too late
Julien tonight
All is finished
 
Julien sadness
Julien distressed
Julien who's returned too many times
And who's disappointed me too many times
 
Julien my thirst
Julien my hunger
My house my bread and my wine
 
Julien too late
Julien tonight
All is finished
 
Julien, this is the last time
No, I'm not everything for you
Julien, do not cry like that...
 
Julien, come back!

I Have A Weakness

I have a weakness,
Alas, what a calamity!1
My life is an aversion!2
 
I have a weakness,
I don't know what will come next
If I do not indulge!
 
But what a calamity!
I am ashamed to admit it
For things that happen to me.
 
I don't know what I'm going to do,
Or I'll be cured of this disease
Or I'll really go crazy.
 
I have, I have, I have,
I have a weakness,
You know very well,
You are keenly aware.
 
I have a weakness,
It cannot be hid
'Cuz I carry it in my gaze.
 
And this big weakness
What will be, will be!
For all or for nothing!
 
I don't know what I'm going to do,
Or I'll be cured of this disease
Or I'll really go crazy.

Тужна је недеља

Недеља је суморна,
моји сати су без сна,
драга, сенке
са којима живим немају броја.
 
Мало бело цвеће
никада те пробудити неће,
не тамо где те је црна кочија
туге одвела.
 
Анђели ни не помишљају
да те икада врате.
Да ли би се наљутили
ако бих размислио да ти се придружим?
 
Тужна је недеља.
 
Тужна је недеља,
а сваку сам са сенкама провео.
Моје срце и ја одлучили смо
да све то прекинемо.
 
Ускоро ће запалити свеће
и молитве ће се изговарати, знам.
Нека не плачу,
нека знају да радо одлазим.
 
Смрт није сан,
јер у смрти грлим те
и с последњим дахом моје душе
благосиљам те.
 
Тужна је недеља.
 
Сан, то је био само сан,
будим се и видим да ти спаваш
у дубини мога срца.
 
Драга, надам се
да те мој сан ничим није узнемирио.
Нек ти моје срце каже
колико сам те желео.
 
Тужна је недеља.

La violetera

To make nicer all life
To make all harmonize and poetize
Some flowers are enough
Without any trick
They delight, they rejuvenate
 
Oh, Señor et Señorita
From Carmencita's hands
Accept these violets
It's happiness that you're buying
The holy god will reward you
 
Señor for your señorita
Take the flowers they here are
To make a smile bloom
To talk saying nothing
There's nothing like my violet.
 
Like birds harbinger of the spring
In Madrid appear the violeteras
That trumpeting they look like swallows
That they cheep, that they cheep
Take it, señorito

 
It doesn't cost more than a real 1
Will you buy this bunch
Will you buy this bunch
To show it up in the buttonhole
 
La, la, la, la, la
Take this bunch
Take this bunch
To show it up in the buttonhole

Tonight that we get separated

Now that the moon slides into the clouds,
come beside me for a while and take a sponge
And wet it in my tear that runs desperately,
and erase the past, erase the past
Our poor thought let's not torture,
tonight that we get separated, tonight that we get separated
 
Now that the wind started to sing with sorrow,
every pain of mine gather and every heartbeat
And find a black sea with foaming waves,
and (there) throw the past, throw the past
Our poor thought let's not torture,
tonight that we get separated, tonight that we get separated
 
Now that the blurred night the lightning will tear
from my heart grab the fire that's lit
Firm its flames, and then one by one
burn the past, burn the past
Our poor thought let's not torture,
tonight that we get separated, tonight that we get separated

Those were the days

Once upon a time there was a road
a good wind led me down there
and if memory does not deceive me
at the corner you were present.
 
Those were the days
yes, they were days and you
no, do not ask for more from the world
we danced a little and without music
there was a lot more in our heart.
 
You know, then the roses with the passing of time
one morning does not flourish anymore
and so things went
even the good wind never blew again.
 
Those were the days
yes, they were days and you
no, do not ask for more from the world
and thinking back to me, I get a knot here
and if I sing, this it loses is meaning
 
Today I'm back in that street
a good memory brought me there
You were with a group of people
and you said, 'Dear friends,
those were days, yes, they were days and you
no, do not ask for more from the world
we danced a little without music,
beyond there passed our youth '
 
Thanks a lot for your attention!

Holidays

Holidays, oh, holidays
It's the plane descending from the sky
And, in the shadow of its wing,
A city passes by
The ground is so close

Holidays, oh, holidays
Churches and social housing
What does he do, this God they love?
He lives in space
The ground is so close
 
Holidays, oh, holidays
From the plane, the shadow takes to the sea
The sea, as a prelude
To the desert
The sea is so low
Holidays
 
Holidays, oh, holidays
So much sky and so many clouds
At your age, you don't know
That life can wear you out,
That death is so vile
Holidays
 
Holidays, oh, holidays
It's the plane living in the sky
But don't forget, beautiful girl,
That planes do break
And that the ground is so close
Holidays

I found a heart in Portofino

I found a heart in Portofino
I still love it very much today
It was my destiny, my 'destino'
In Portofino, my dream by the sea
 
In those wonderful days
I forgot everything around me
Your kiss, it erased a thousand questions
In Portofino by the blue sea
 
What you sang to me full of love
It couldn't have just been songs
The tender words have faded away
And I'm so alone again
 
I found a heart in Portofino
I still love it very much today
And my 'destino' was once fulfilled
In Portofino, my dream by the sea
 
La la la...
 
In the soft charm of morning
The sea carried you to me
I close my eyes and close to me
I'll see you again in Portolino
 
What you sang to me full of love
It couldn't have just been songs
The tender words have faded away
And I'm so alone again
 
I found a heart in Portofino
I still love it very much today
And my 'destino' was once fulfilled
In Portofino, in Portofino
 
By the blue sea, by the blue sea

The stream

Like a stream coming straight down the mountain,
racing and bouncing troughout the meadows,
discovering all the spring flowers in the countryside,
my brand new heart came down to the city,
swollen with love and happiness to share.
Yet my soul is less at ease
since I left everything.
 
Up there everything is bright light
Down there everything is fanciful
 
But the stream soon forgets about its mountain,
and like it I come down, following my destiny.
And from hills to countryside
I lost my child's heart.
My brand new eyes met you in the city,
and unknowingly gave you their freedom.
The stream gently flows away,
but I decided to stay.
 
Still I often think
of the sky of my childhood.
 
Tonight, you see, life feels sweet to me again1,
living with you in the light of my twenties,
and I flow back to the spring whence the springs spring2
In the silence
of the white firs,
near the stream, you'll get to know
my child's heart.
 
  • 1. the French is a bit unusual there, I'm not quite sure what she means
  • 2. sorry, I just couldn't resist Regular smile
Do whatever you want with my translations. I'm not rich enough to sue you anyway.

Far across the sea

I have found my happiness
Time, it almost stands still
These are the loveliest hours
And they will never fade
 
That was last summer
We were so in love
You came from afar
And didn't want to go any more
 
Far across the sea there all my dreams fly
They seek you or else they couldn't be fulfilled
From white clouds a greeting comes to me
And with the night's wind I send a greeting to you
 
I don't want to believe and can't believe
That you don't come back
Come to me
Put an end to my loneliness
 
The days have passed by
My happiness is erased
Love with with them
I stay behind alone
 
But I hear your voice
That speaks to me tenderly
In the summer I'll come again
Please don't forget me
 
Far across the sea there all my dreams fly
They seek you or else they couldn't be fulfilled
A song full of longing and waiting for new happiness
Resounds over the land and sea and asks you
When are you coming back
 
Far across the sea there all my dreams fly
They seek you or else they couldn't be fulfilled

The last waltz

The orchestra plays the last refrain
I don't know if I should go or I should stay
I'm trying to convince me that then
Nothing's changed between us
 
The last waltz with you
I found the love again
I dance with you
An already finished waltz

 
There is not so much time to talk
And I see you're 'bout to go
But what have I to do to convince you, I don't know
That you are the most important thing that I have
 
The last waltz with you
I found the love again
I dance with you
An already finished waltz

 
As you go away
I feel that now
You leave me, but it won't be forever
La, la, la...
 
The last waltz with you
I found the love again
I dance with you
An already finished waltz

 
La, la, la...

Harlequin

Harlequin's a puppet but
if I think about it, you are a bit like him
with his little black mask
he can tell big lies
in the theatre for the children
he'll always be the most cunning
with his red and blue checked garment
he has no heart, I know
 
Harlequin's just like you
like you, like you
your comedy ends here
you're such a liar
you never speak the truth
you don't know what the truth is anymore
 
A photograph you left here by chance
was enough for me
stop kidding, you can't fool me anymore
go to her
 
Harlequin's just like you
like you, like you
your comedy ends here
you're such a liar
 
Harlequin's just like you
like you, like you
your comedy ends here
you're such a liar
 
I don't know if she loves you or not
but sure she loves you more than I do
Harlequin smiles no more
the curtain falls
you don't joke anymore, you don't play anymore
you don't laugh anymore

Living man (Je me sens vivre)

I didn't know what I was living for
I didn't know what I was made for
Now I know, now I know, now I know...
My eyes are made to look at you,
My lips are made to talk to you,
My ears are made to hear your voice,
My hands are made to hug you...
And just now I feel I'm alive
I feel I'm alive 'cause I love you
And just now I feel I'm real
I feel I'm real 'cause I love you
'Cause I love you, 'cause I love you, 'cause I love you and you love me
 
I la la, la la la, la la, la la la
la la la, la la la
la la la, oh oh oh
oh oh oh, oh oh oh
la la la, la la la
And just now I feel I'm alive
I feel I'm alive 'cause I love you
And just now I feel I'm real
I feel I'm real 'cause I love you
'Cause I love you, 'cause I love you, 'cause I love you and you love me

This is not my home

Some months ago, I'd have never told
But the memories told me to go
I'm back here, out from the city
I didn't want to, but I'm here
This avenue, I already know it
That house, I already know it
It lived here the happyness
We lived here long time ago
 
But since you left
This is nomore my home
Since you weren't coming back
Me too, I left as you did
 
But if one day you'll think back
And your memories would tell you to go
Don't look here for your happyness.
It has gone away, long time ago
You won't find roses in the garden
You won't find fire in the fireplace
All has been closed here, for ages
And the dust will tell you
 
That since you left
This, no, is not my home
Since you didn't love me anymore
Me too, I left
as you did
That since you left
This, no, is not my home
Since you didn't love me anymore
Me too, I left as you did
And since you left
This no...

Positive mentality

For this to go good,
I will find an exit
that do not mean escape
and that just pursue the end good.
Although they lean on from above,
positive mentality.
Get out suicidal behaviours, that's it.
Go good. (Chorus)
 
How many ways did I way off
without knowing what I was looking for ?
Wasting my time and without movement
lie down on bed I used to think.
Any reason why
luck was not with me.
Everything was going slow and into myself there was an idea.
 
(*Chorus)
 
I do not advise, I insist, it is okay.
We are going to travel on my train.
It is the train which will change your mentality.
Add and go on!
There are only smiles on the area.
There are not sad people,
just shining faces.
We travelled far away, where there are not fears,
Eden* is the name of my stop.
 
(*Chorus)
 
Positive mentality, a way of thinking.
It is my new premise at the time of acting.
I repeat at the time on lying down, but, at time to wake up, think good!
Positive mentality.
Positive mentality for everyone who follow me
and see on my life negative energies.
Positive mentality.
 
(*Chorus)
