A Place So Fare Away

Versions: #2
Lost in the crowd
Thinking about that fare place
Where he shall forget everything
All the past
Behind waves, sea, sun and nigh
The farthest forest, the farthest torrent
Forgetting the past
His melody still
Bringing back the past
From the farthest place
 
Lost in the city
Memories won't die
Though that the solution
Is to run away, to forget
Behind waves
Sea, sun and nigh
The farthest forest, the farthest torrent
Forgetting the past
His melody still
Bringing back the past
From the farthest place
 

I was bluffing

You who dumped me were a jerk
I who gave up on you was a fool
The two of us were supposed to be perfect
There were some nights when we nodded to each other in happiness
 
Before we knew it
A wall had materialized between us
I found myself at a crossroads between black and white
Walking with linked arms was a long time ago
There was a time when we glared at one another
 
Ah, I wish I could say I never loved you
I no longer regret it, though
Wondering if I had chosen the other path
My fate could have been better
 
Of course, my impatience must have bothered you
The two of us have completely forgotten
We have forgotten true happiness
 
Passing memories make me cry
In front of me, my room is in order more than necessary
Pretending to be tough doesn't pay, after all
I dared to swear at you knowing that I would get hurt
 
Ah, I was in love with you
Seriously, it's not a lie
Enough of days of regrets
I want you to show up as if nothing happened
 
Ah, since the day I let you go
I've hardened my heart
I'll never bluff again
So I want you to fall in love with me one more time
 
Ah, I wish I could say I never loved you
I no longer regret it, though
Wondering if I had chosen the other path
My fate could have been better
Ah, I was in love with you
Seriously, it's not a lie
Enough of days of regrets
I want you to show up as if nothing happened
 

Moonlight Mom

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

Ambulance car

Her fingers garlanded with rings of Saturn
She smells worse than a spitting urn,
Her granddad is Marquis de Sade,
Her papa is Schicklgruber.
 
She is more dangerous than virus of AIDS
She is bloodier than bullfighter's blades
She calls me back to her,
To the gloomy Kingdom of Hades.
 
Ambulance car, ambulance car,
Ambulance car, and go far... go far... go fuck off!
 
Early autumn, pleasant night.
Arbat street. House number eight.
Here once resided Tanya,
(I can still remember this!)
 
Someone cuts his wrists in bathroom
Walls are shaking from love-making
We drink vodka on the kitchen,
Three, including Jimi Hendrix.
 
Ambulance car, ambulance car,
Ambulance car, and go far... go far... go fuck off!
 
Oh, my dull-eyed child,
You cherish syringe's glide.
But in vain, yes, in vain,
You are flying in the clouds.
 
Clouds give a poor support,
You will soon fall back to dirt,
And you will be taken without delay,
To the graveyard mounds.
 
Ambulance car, ambulance car,
Ambulance car, and go far... go far... go fuck off!

Ne idi krotko u tu dobru noć

Ne idi krotko u tu dobru noć,
Starost neka žustro,čeka dana kraj
Bes,bes,kad u smrt svetlosti valja poć.
 
Iako mudrac zna,da mrak mora doć
Kad munju reč mu ne rascepi,taj
Ne idi krotko u tu dobru noć
Bes,bes,kad u smrt svetlosti valja poć
 
Dobri ljudi,zadnjim gestom,od svetlosti ječe,
Njihova krhka dela nestaju dok u očaj tonu
Bes,bes,kad u smrt svetlosti valja poć
 
Avanturisti koji su uhvatili i opevali sunce na krilima
Nauče,mada kasno,da tuga u smiraj sam dolazi,
ne idu krotko u tu dobru noć.
 
Samrtnika,pred kraj,zaslepljujuje sve što se kreće
Slepe oči zablistaju sretno k`o meteora sjaj,
Bes,bes,kad u smrt svetlosti valja poć
 
A ti, oče moj,čiji se duh u tužnim visinama kreće,
Proklinji me, blagoslovi me,
hladnu mi suzu molitvom daj,
Ne idi krotko u tu dobru noć
Bes,bes,kad u smrt svetlosti valja poć
 

Zero Chronicle - Sin of the beginning

World that floats Quietly ask
What are the thing that divided the Light and Dark
Take on the life Embracing hope
collapsing of the Equilibrium, Fate laughs
 
For the light to shine Breaks the Light.
'observe' is clear Cruel notihng
 
Wanted to believe until the end. could not believe
want the Same future Minds are staggered.
An outstretched hand A falling hand
The two unable to do meet.
 

Draw the Love -LET'S KISS THE SUN-

Aiming for the future with you everyday
Let's shoot the shining love's arrow
Gets released strongly and draws a flame
Releases a rainbow behind itself
There's nothing to prevent those two to join hands together
Let's go with the flow
 
Flying all day, to wherever baby
Flying all night, with no interference
A dazzling kiss suits your shining heart
Let's kiss the sun, Let's kiss the sun
 
Love overfills the sky
Being together with you begins a journey
Let's fly far away with silver colored wings
Hug the loving heart
 
Flying all day, beyond the time, Baby
Flying all night, in the hands of those two
Let's give a dazzling kiss to that shining heart
Let's kiss the sun, Let's kiss the sun
 

A World Abandoned by God

Versions: #3
Gold has turned black, crammed a room
The city is crammed.
The world is one big damned prison.
Hectic.1
The summer is cold, (we) dance in the cold. 2
Who’s on the line?
The wire’s gone dark.
Just silence.
 
Don’t glue splinters together,
Don’t let the darkness fade away,
Watch as the wolves spawn
from stray dogs. 3
Shove your head into the television,
Wear holes into your couch. 4
You are already posthumously forced to do so. 5
In a world abandoned, abandoned, abandoned by God. 6
 
Bolts become trinkets, wolves become friends, 7
Who were you, and who were you not?
Go figure it out.
Either become a sheep,
Hook up with a candle,
God will be with you today like a fig leaf,
Clean-type.
 
There is no need for worry,
Time does not go backwards,
Exactly at midnight, scores upon scores will leave, 8
But it isn’t about this,
I want so much, just to live
Just to throw a ray of light into this
world abandoned, abandoned, abandoned by God.
 

• 1. Hectic makes sense, to me it sounds like he is saying it is a hectic mess
• 2. I’m assuming he means we. This line makes no sense in English.
• 3. I heard Moscow has a stray dog problem….and I kinda want to live in Moscow where I commute on a train with a wolf. That be cool
• 4. There are a lot of ways you can interpret that.
• 5. This was a weird line to translate, so if I could have a native I’d be happy for this one
• 6. I like how I interpreted it but I’m certain someone will object, it isn’t living if someone doesn’t object to you or your actions.
• 7. Yet again, this song has a theme of being hard to interpret and translate into English.
• 8. Help on this one too. Jesus this song is tough.

To me, music is a form of speech, and just like speech, music should be heard to all regardless of barriers in place. So by translating you're letting other people open up to a world that is alien to them, a world where many who listen to the Russian, German and French music I listen to, is not strange or weird because they do not understand what the singer is singing. By having translations music can share cultural and political ideas, or really just ideas, around without barrier, and allow for discussion over meaning and purpose instead of trivial pursuit.

The Master

Passer-bys tip their hats
as he walks by.
Dogs lick his hands,
he is the reassuring type.
 
See how this child bawls
as he comes to the rescue.
See how he helps the blind
crossing the street.
 
In his peaceful garden
he tends to roses.
The master becomes a murderer
when he feels gloomy.
 
He goes strangling fellow men
in the Meudon wood
when he feels disconsolate
or simply blue.
 
The neighbours find him likeable,
yet right under their noses
the master is a murderer
and I am his butler.
 
And I file my case
under a dog rose bush.
I dabble in gardening
and can cook as well.
 
He goes strangling fellow men
when he feels blue.
Off you go! Into the pond
under the water lilies.
 
Then I tidy up a bit
the crime scene
where he never returns,
not even for show.
 
Inconspicuously,
in the early hours
we drive back home.
I am his driver.
 
Though he looks harmless,
the master is a lunatic.
The master is a murderer,
it's a chronic affliction.
 
He goes strangling fellow men
when midnight chimes,
while I push the dolly1
in the Boulogne woods.
 
Our customer will end up
in a trunk, hat included
and take a train to Venice
for a well-deserved rest.
 
He goes strangling fellow men
in the Meudon wood
when he feels disconsolate
or simply blue.
 
The neighbours find him likeable,
yet right under their noses
the master is a murderer
and I am his butler.
 
You're about to hang the master,
I'm about to lose my job.
You're about to hang the master,
Alas! How very unfortunate!
 
This was only to be expected,
and I beseech Your Honour
to consider my application
as a butler.
 
I would file this case
under a dog rose bush.
I dabble in gardening
and can cook as well.
 

• 1. lit. 'the devil'. That's a common name for a dolly, but it sounds rather funny here

War and Peace (zhàn zhēng yǔ hé píng)

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

Tell Your Brother

Come over here for a moment
And sit down with your father
I have something I need to tell you
You know that you can ask me about anything
And I can answer with what I know
But it's hard to be knowledgeable
About what we call love
 
And tell your brother not to be afraid
'Cause I'll always be a father both to you and to him
I promise I'll call you as often as I can
And before you know it, you've become a man yourself
Then I hope that you know and I hope that you understand
That I did what I could to live with your mother
But some people mix like oil and water
And a mother and a father may not always be good for one another
Promise me that you'll take care of Peter the best you can
He's too young to understand what I'm saying
 
I'll get you tomorrow
At 2 PM after school
We'll go get groceries together and buy what you like the best
Another year has passed
Frankly, I feel like it's all happening to quickly
My biggest fear is that some day, you'll
Say that I never was there
 
And tell your brother not to be afraid
'Cause I'll always be a father both to you and to him
I promise I'll call you as often as I can
And before you know it, you've become a man yourself
Then I hope that you know and I hope that you understand
That I did what I could to live with your mother
But some people mix like oil and water
And a mother and a father may not always be good for one another
Promise me that you'll take care of Peter the best you can
He's too young to understand what I'm saying
He's too young to understand what I'm saying

All that I have left

Versions: #2
And if tomorrow were to be the end of the world
We would be caught under the sheets, loving each other like lunatics
And if the entire world were to crumble
Hold me in your arms, nothing will break us apart
Ohh, baby, if the sky darkens
With my last breath, I'll put the ring onto your finger
 
Maybe the flood will come, I don't take even a step
Love for you is all that I have left
When the rain falls and you get wet
I'll build for you, by hand, an ark
Love for you is all that I have left
 
We fall in love, we feel how our hearts beat
And we know that it'll bind us for a lifetime, not just a night
I beg you to never walk away ever
Come on, let's write stories about a boy and a girl
 
Because not long ago, I said that it doesn't make sense to keep on loving, because I cry too much
But now I see how much I've been smiling since you've been by my side
And I didn't believe that people make it to the stars
I touch them when you're there in my arms
 
Maybe the flood will come, I don't take even a step
Love for you is all that I have left
When the rain falls and you get wet
I'll build for you, by hand, an ark
Love for you is all that I have left
 
All that I have left, have left is you
Just promise me that you won't rip out my soul
All that I have left, have left is you
 
All that I have left, have left is you
Just promise me that you won't rip out my soul
All that I have left, have left is you
 
Maybe the flood will come, I don't take even a step
Love for you is all that I have left
When the rain falls and you get wet
I'll build for you, by hand, an ark
Love for you is all that I have left
 
All that I have left, have left is you
All that I have left, have left is you
 
If I have made a mistake, please, tell me! Thank you!
Dacă am făcut o greșeală, te rog, spune-mi! Mulțumesc!

How's The Weather In Heaven?

When I close my eyes
I still see you
Although I know you can't see me 'cause you're gone
When shut out all sound
That's when I hear you the best
I do know that you can't hear me
 
Mother, how's the weather in Heaven?
Is it like living at a hotel?
Mother, how's the weather in Heaven?
Did you make peace with yourself?
 
And I've had children myself now
I almost can't manage it
If I am to go through the same shit as you
I met someone special
Well, she's sweet, beautiful, and honest
She's taught me that it's okay if I miss you
 
Mother, how's the weather in Heaven, Heaven, Heaven?
Is it like living at a hotel?
Is it like living at a hotel?
Mother, how's the weather in Heaven, Heaven, Heaven?
Did you make peace with yourself?
Did you make peace with yourself?
 
Mother, how's the weather in Heaven?
Do you think there's room for me?
Mother, how's the weather in Heaven?
 
Mother, how's the weather in Heaven, Heaven, Heaven?
Is it like living at a hotel?
Is it like living at a hotel?
Mother, how's the weather in Heaven, Heaven, Heaven?
Did you make peace with yourself?
Did you make peace with yourself?
 
Mother, how's the weather in Heaven, Heaven, Heaven?

Sunflower

The night has been braided into my fingers
Threatening me that the morning will not come,
That you will leave too far
Without giving it a second thought
 
Be quiet so I can hear your heart
While you are kissing me for the last time
So I can guard your soul once again
And tomorrow, go wherever you want
 
Love me, love me like you used to on the first day
Like God,
As if there is no wound on the heart
None of it
Love me, love me even when you are far away
And when you are out of luck
A heart turns toward a heart like a sunflower
 

Our guys

We were the frontline, from the first moment
Before even the first MC's mark the beginning
Before the first concerts had found the first stage
We had given voice and Greek language
It came out of the undergrounds and it should get heard
With a case on the hand because it should get spread
By making graffiti at Salonica and Athens the first touch
We had given to the hard core it's first shape
Now the times have changed, many market it
Some of them got the chance to say that we got lost
But we still feel it like our child
And whenever it needs us we'll be there because...

If one day you would not love me anymore

If one day you would not love me anymore...
I never asked myself what would I do?
I would still face the world
with the same strenght inside,
the way I'll do until
I can count on you.
 
If one day you would not love me anymore...
I never asked myself what would I say
to whom would ask me: 'why?'
I would save myself by saying
that I was the one who wanted it
then at the bottom of my heart I would admit it,
I would admit it
 
Then I look at you and you're laughing
you're kidding about my drama.
It's really true: it makes no sense,
since you are next to me.
You're right and, if I think about it,
making love is much better, indeed.
 
But, if one day you would not love me anymore,
it will not be a joke like now.
And thinking about it now that you're here
yes, I know, that doesn't make sense
but all that I feel
and to whom I must tell, if not to you?
If not to you?
 
Then I look at you and you're laughing
you're kidding about my drama.
It's really true: it makes no sense,
since you are next to me.
You're right and, if I think about it,
making love is much better, indeed.
 
If one day you would not love me anymore...
I never asked myself what would I do?
I would still face the world
with the same strenght inside,
the way I'll do until
I can count on you.
 
If one day you would not love me anymore...
I never asked myself what would I say
to whom would ask me: 'why?'
I would save myself by saying
that I was the one who wanted it
but at the end I would admit it.
 

Boogie-Woogie on the Ceiling

I don’t know how I caught it,
But I skipped school,
I just couldn’t sit through the day.
I never was able to teach anyone anything,
Don’t teach me.
Before I grew up,
I solved my questions,
By myself in a single country.
I never interfered with anyone or anything,
Don’t bother me.
 
When I walked along steep peaks,
I wasn’t higher than myself. 1
When I went down to the valley to be with you,
I wasn’t shallower than myself. 2
I know who I am, and I hear the crying of the clouds,
In the distance I see the fish dancing in the river.
Say, why do you first call the doctors and then the cops?
When I boogie-woogie on the ceiling?3
I don’t like it when order reminds itself of its own advice,
I don’t like it when the steps lag behind,
And I always go there,
Where inscribed : “No Exit”,
No need to go after me.
 
When I roamed steep mountains,
I was not higher than myself.
When I went down to the valley be with you,
I was not shallower than myself.
I know who I am,
I can hear the clouds cry,
In the distance I can see the fish dancing in the river,
Tell me why you call,
The doctors, the cops,
When I boogie-woogie on the ceiling?
 

• 1. Get it? He is on a mountain….
• 2. Get it? He is in a valley….I’ll stop now
• 3. I thought Makarevich saying “Okay” in an exaggerated American-Russian accent was the funniest thing I’ve ever heard, but these two line are golden.

When I was Bigger

When I was bigger I was not afraid of cars,
My dad said it snowed on mars, and he was the conqueror of all,
And from nine-to-five,
I worked as a hero.
 
I flew out the window, only my goals visible,
I drank two bottles of young wine,
And trained Bruce Lee corps de ballet and walking formations 1
 
I had a goal in life, my wife Natalya. 2
I went to the ends of the Earth, while Salvador Dali 3
He never bargained when he bought pictures from me.
 
And I flew at night, like an owl,
Composed cha-cha-chas and fair Ilyich, 4
From the cold, hemorrhoids 5
 
When I was bigger, I swallowed an Arshin 6
I was watching Chumak, but decided on nothing, 7
And for a hundred years I never went through the gate.
 
created dawn, and the group “Sekret” 8
I painted the BGs on the wall, and whatnot,
I painted a portrait of myself,
Archimedes,
and Nino Rota 9
 
And I walked under the window, charming ladies,
I lived with Moshe Dayan and Saddam 10
We took Agam in both the summer and the winter. 11
 
Only on one occasion did talks not work,
Then one of them lost an eye 12
But he wasn’t slow and didn’t even think about it.
 
When I was bigger I did not smoke anasha 13
However I did buy hashish from Chiang Kai-shek 14
And he lived without torment or worry, and he still died.
 
I was carried in the arms of everyone who isn’t lazy,
On a planet that declared a no-working day,
And Vladislav Tretiak, in a move of despair, changed his number. 15
 
Then each bell from the country called me,
My name was written upon the great wall,
My wife given to Magadan and the Voodoo Island 16
 
But it has been two-thousand years since then,
And I, again, have come into this world,
But-but-but-but-but I’m afraid, I’m already so much bigger than before.
But I-I-I-I-I am afraid, that I’m not big enough.
Bam-pa-ram-pa!
 

• 1. Interesting line...there are more like this so it makes sense. He is saying here that he taught Bruce Lee how to dance, and how to walk information. He disciplined him.
• 2. From ~2003 to 2010 Makarevich was married to a woman named Natalya Golub, this is from the 1989 to 2000 Album. So makes sense
• 3. Funny I’m listening to IOWA’s Улыбайся while translating this and she says Salvador Dali in this song as well -_-
• 4. Either this is referring to censoring Leo Trotsky’s Ilyitch, to the Patriarchal name that refers to Lenin or to the city of Ilyitch, need a native to help on this one.
• 5. I’m sorry?
  And scarlet fever Didn’t know hemorrhoids came as a package deal with scarlet fever
• 6. He is referring to an outdated unit of Russian measurement. Jesus Makarevich and Leningrad have taught me about food, culture and now math and measurements?
• 7. A faith healer that came around because of good ‘ol Gorbachev, the original Televangelist
• 8. Okay trivia time! Remember my translation of “Сосевка” and who performed? Maxim Leonidov and Andrey Makarevich. Well, Maxim Leonidov is a performer on the Soviet Rock band “Sekret” (Секрет), so again, keep this in mind when thinking about the meaning of the song
• 9. A famous Italian Composer
• 10. Moshe Dayan was the defense minister of Israel, while Saddam, well, was the dictator of Iraq
• 11. Agam is a ghost town in Azerbaijan.
• 12. Moshe Dayan lost an eye to a French sniper bullet through his binoculars. Yikes
• 13. Anasha could be a reference to weed
• 14. The former president of China.
• 15. Vladislav Tretiak is the president of Russian Ice Hockey.
• 16. Magadan is a province/city/town in Russia

Stay Yourself (Be Yourself)

How you have been loved, they offered watered down wine
How you are rotting, beaten, beaten, hosed in shit. 1
 
It is a fight, that means there will be an end.
Don’t bend, don’t give up,
Don’t stop being yourself.
 
Being a fish in the see is better, but on a platter will be the end of their days. 2
Pigs to jellied meats, only people remain people. 3
 
It is a fight, that means there will be an end.
Don’t bend, don’t give up,
Don’t stop being yourself.
 
Time pushes on, pursuing with an invisible hand,
You take off, you dive, you don’t know who you are.
 
It is a fight, that means there will be an end.
Don’t bend, don’t give up,
Don’t stop being yourself.
 

• 1. For those who say Andrey is poetic, remember that his music can be, but a lot of times he is just rebellious.
• 2. I interpreted it this way for irony. It is an ironic phrase to say and fits with the song. Fish are served on a plate (typically) and that plate will be their death to you. It rounds the line off, contrasting life of fish being better but bringing up mortality
• 3. Yet again, another metaphor about the brutality of humans, how they turn an animal into its parts, and yet we stay the same.

To me, music is a form of speech, and just like speech, music should be heard to all regardless of barriers in place. So by translating you're letting other people open up to a world that is alien to them, a world where many who listen to the Russian, German and French music I listen to, is not strange or weird because they do not understand what the singer is singing. By having translations music can share cultural and political ideas, or really just ideas, around without barrier, and allow for discussion over meaning and purpose instead of trivial pursuit.

Cavalry

Don't you flaunt in the thrones
Tyranny blooms disobedience
If I will die a hundred times
I will return a hundred times
Polished Sword
I have an army like me
We cling to each other and rebel
 
Your army and its highness
Will not stand to me
You can not (defeat) my heart
You can not (defeat) me
 
At the bed of every peak is my soil
I grow up as a polished pen
The mountains are bearing it
They began with its gravel until they achieved
Where the force is built by silence*
Every voice is raised as an attack
 
Your army and its highness
Will not stand to me
You can not (defeat) my heart
You can not (defeat) me
 
Your army is the redemption of my heart
You will not break me
Your army is the redemption of my heart
You will not break me
 
You have your values
And love is for us
You have your habits
We have music
You have Traditions
We have the future
You have your values
And love is for us
 
*The silence which is accompanied by sadness and grief
 

Christmas without You

That first December when it unexpectedly snowed
The holidays that we spent together
That winter, we were happy with whatever we did
Our eyes held each other
All the memories with your warmth
Comes to me at the end of the cold wind
The season has come outside the window
I can’t avoid it anymore
Today, I hope the snow
Won’t stop all day
So it can cover my lonely footprints
Without you
 
The whole world is Christmas but I’m without you
Dazzling Christmas but I’m without you
After a sad day passes
Without being with you
I’m falling asleep alone, without you
 
The cold days continued and you were my only
Summer time (you’re my sun to shine)
It was so hot in your arms
I didn’t even know winter was coming
 
I try not to look at my lone reflection
On the shop windows
I try smiling so my heart won’t shake
 
The whole world is Christmas but I’m without you
Dazzling Christmas but I’m without you
After a sad day passes
Without being with you
I’m falling asleep alone
 
Da dararab da dararab
Da dararab da dararab
Beautiful memories, like snowflakes
Melt in my hands
 
It’s Christmas for everyone but I’m without you
Happy Christmas but I’m without you
The season I always walked with you (that winter)
Is still going on somewhere
In this world, forever
After a long night’s dream, without you
No no, Christmas but I’m without you
 

Your Eyes

Till yesterday I just wanted to make out
And live crazy, drunken nights
Till yesterday I wanted to die single
Get women and squander money
Without a sense of direction
 
I just wanted to live life
I often caused wounds
And my heart grew, grew
Scared of falling in love
There were so many goodbyes
Poorly had affairs
And my heart grew, grew
Scared of falling in love
 
But it was in your eyes that I found peace
I swear I found a path to follow
With just one look at you, my world came to a stop
And my life changed overnight
Changed overnight
 
Till yesterday I just wanted to make out
And live crazy, drunken nights
Till yesterday I wanted to die single
Get women and squander money
Without a sense of direction
 
Today what I want is to marry you
I want to be your best friend
Oh, woman of my life
My heart grew, it grew
I want to be faithful to you
By your side I've been reborn
Oh, woman of my life
My heart, you've changed it
 
But it was in your eyes that I found peace
I swear I found a path to follow
With just one look at you, my world came to a stop
And my life changed overnight
Changed overnight
 
To walk hand-in-hand through the garden
I want to stay with you till the end of my life
Even the sun shines brighter
And my heart lives out the peace that the poet wrote about
 
But it was in your eyes that I found peace
I swear I found a path to follow
With just one look at you, my world came to a stop
And my life changed overnight
Changed overnight
 

Goodbye

The goodbye
Is a little dove who flies out of a heart
Heroically
Flapping its wounded wings
Forever
In the eyes of who sees it off
 
Though I had many words
Finally it became one
Wherein the flowers fall and the wind blows
To you, to you
Sincerely I say
Goodbye, Goodbye
Goodbye
 
The goodbye
Is a dry leaf separating fro a branch
Thinking that it's hard to leave
It trembles two, three times
In the memories
Of who feels pity
 
Though I said often that I was born
Every time I said it, I lost weight
Wherein I see the season off
To you, to you
Sincerely I say
Goodbye, Goodbye
Goodbye, Goodbye
Goodbye

We are on Air

We were on air
to another travel
Princes of a youth
so distant
The years passed
and it's like one day(passed)
Everything we did
noone erase them
 
Bodies and friends
passed over me
Motherland, enemies, jobs
and some crazy's kisses
But deep inside me
the spark was left
I was expecting you would show up again
 
Chorus
And suddenly, suddenly
We are on air
like old times
Like old times...
We are on air!
 
When we scattered, I thought
it won't be for long
That something would brought us
together again
Anger and sadness I got from people
before I got away from them
Before I built my own prison
 
Because in the out world
wolves were wondering around wanting to persuade me that I am a sheep
So, my dreams were known to the four walls
Until you showed up again
 
Chorus
And suddenly, suddenly
We are on air
like old times
Like old times...
 
We are on air
Like old times...
 

Surfing Karma & DNA

How many times have I been
Face to face with the worst half?
The memory in the mirror
Hope on the other side
 
How many times do we survive
The moment of truth?
In the absence of something better
I never lacked the courage
 
If I only knew what I know now
I would miss everything exactly the same way
 
I have lived one day a week
Finish the money, month still has
No past or future
I live one day at a time
 
How many times have I been
Face to face with the worst half?
How many times do we survive
The moment of truth?
 
If I only knew what I know now
I would leave before the end
 
Surfing Karma and DNA
I don't want to have what I don't have
I'm not afraid to make a mistake!
Surfing Karma and DNA
I don't want to be what I am not
I'm not bigger than the sea!
 
Lacking what to do, I invented my freedom!
 
Surfing Karma and DNA
 

Airplanes!

Airplaines!
 
Airplanes!
 
Airplanes!
 
My
light haired Rita (Yeah!)
Was falling down alone
And you too (o-o-o)
And you too
 
Not noticing, like a leaf went out
My light haired Rita
And you too (o-o-o)
And you too
 
Where is my airplane?
Where is my airplane?
Where is my airplane?
Where is it?
 
(*God dammit!)
 
Where is my airplane?
But, where is my airplane?
Where is my airplane?
Where is it?
 
We are handsome pilots
Flying to our fleet (Yes!)
Flying to our fleet (To Baghdad!)
With airplanes
 
We are handsome pilots
Flying to our fleet
Flying to our fleet
With airplanes
 
(Yeaaa!)
Where is my airplane?
Where is my airplane?
Where is my airplane?
Where is it?
 
Where is my airplane?
Where is my airplane?
Where is my airplane?
Where is it?
 

Hard to Believe

It's hard to believe, but I'm not myself these days
You secretly stabbed your light into my darkness and left
Fears have tightly seized our souls
What if I hold your hands and we get closer
 
Who knows why have we crossed paths here
Maybe one day our deepest wounds would heal
Don't let darkness silence your heart's voice
How would the stars have shone if nights didn't exist.. x2
 

Tough cat with a moustache

If I had now, delicious and fresh
Two fish now
The whole country would be mine
 
I'm a tough cat
Cat with a moustache
Themos the tough
Tough and women's guy
I'm casually wandering
Like I'm a tourist
Full of dust
And don't query
I'm walking around neighborhoods
Like I'm a boss
Oh, yeah
And just like this
I'm known everywhere
Simple circles and the aristocratic ones
Because I'm a tough cat
Cat with a moustache
Themos the tough
Tough and women's guy
 
The world's boss
Prince and king
Duke of laziness
And of unconcern
That's why everyone knows
My first name
Calcutta and Rome
Caracas and Bonn
Even in Greece it's known
 
7 lives I have to live
But it would be even better
If I had one more
Wherever I stand
I have nothing to be afraid of
I'm dancing, I'm laughing
I'm doing good to everyone
And many times
I pretend I'm crazy
Because, yeah
I'm a tough cat
Cat with a moustache
Themos the tough
Tough and women's guy
It's right, I'm all these things
Yeah
 

Not Ready

Still wakes me up with fingers in my hair
And stays here till I open my eyes
Then leaves without a sound
 
Leave a smile here on the wall
Like the prettiest picture to remind me
To set my thoughts on fire
I'm not ready to leave you
 
Word by word, I tell you quietly
Every day just everything
I know well what you like
 
But sin and sadness, hand in hand
Always drop by, those familiar guests
So you start hurting again
I'm not ready to leave you
 
(Refrain)
And you!
You hurt me like before
It never hurted me that way
So hard
And us
What happened to us?
So much love and fire
Where did we go wrong?
I'm not ready to leave you
 

Nisam masina

Nastaviti ovako, prosto nije opcija
Moram da pobegnem odavde
Dok ovo čitaš, ja sam već otišao
Želim da živim svoj život, moram makar da pokušam
Potrebno mi je da povratim kontrolu, ne samo da puko preživljavam
 
Nisam mašina!
Ja sam čovek od krvi i mesa
I želim da živim do poslednjeg daha
Ja sam čovek sa svim svojim manama, gnevom i euforijom
Nisam mašina, živim od vazduha i mašte
 
Postoji još toliko neverovatnih stvari koje treba doživeti
Ceo svet je otvoren za mene, a ja stojim zalepljen u mestu
U lancima sam neizgovorenih pravila,
Stojim u mestu, a moram slobodno da se krećem
 
Nisam mašina!
Ja sam čovek od krvi i mesa
I želim da živim do poslednjeg daha
Ja sam čovek sa svim svojim manama, gnevom i euforijom
Nisam mašina, živim od vazduha i mašte
Vazduha i mašte
 
Dok ne savladam gravitaciju
Neću se predati, neću se predati
 
Nisam mašina!
Ja sam čovek od krvi i mesa
I želim da živim do poslednjeg daha
Ja sam čovek sa svim svojim manama, gnevom i euforijom
Nisam mašina, živim od vazduha i mašte
 

You Have the Right

A lot of things are behind us
And it's an old story
And I watched you
Kissing others after me
 
And you've met him
And some others who call me their ex
And we've been through all that happiness
All that sorrow
 
You know I'll be there
When it's needed
You know I'll be there
If things start going really badly
 
You know that I will be
The last one if you hit rock bottom
Just do not say it
Don't turn me to evil
 
You have the right to call me
When the night's pitch-black
You have the right when I've had a bad day
 
You have the right to tell me
Whatever you want
But you don't have the right to 'I still love you'
You don't have the right to 'I still love you'
 
A lot of things are behind us
And even if the time would turn back
Everything would be the same
It would break in the end
 
We are to each other
The one you remember
Those eyes that always
Know each other well
 
You know that I will be
The last one if you hit rock bottom
Just do not say it
Don't turn me to evil
 
You have the right to call me
When the night's pitch-black
You have the right when I've had a bad day
 
You have the right to tell me
Whatever you want
But you don't have the right to 'I still love you'
 
You have the right to call me
When the night's pitch-black
You have the right when I've had a bad day
 
You have the right to tell me
Whatever you want
But you don't have the right to 'I still love you'
You don't have the right to 'I still love you'
 
You don't have the right to 'I still love you'
