The Watchman of the Walls

I'm standing on the wall
Standing alone in the rain and the entire Ancient City
Is laid in my palm, I gaze upon it in love
I always come up here just to watch
But now I'm here on duty
But now I'm here on duty.
 
Yes, yes, who even dreamt about it in class
Where we learned how to recite: 'Upon thy walls, Jerusalem
I have set watchmen'
That someday I will become one of them
That someday I will become one of them
That someday I will become one of them.
 
I'm standing on the wall
Standing listening to the sounds
The sounds of the market and the commotion
The shouts of merchants and carts
Here is the chant of the muezzin
Here is the chime of the bell but I must listen
For any explosion of a grenade
For any explosion of a grenade.
 
Yes, yes, who even dreamt...
 
I'm standing on the wall
Shaking cold and watching, the sun had already set
Guarding at the dark of night, the full moon shines bright
Washes over walls and gates, when will come the day
Where we won't need watchmen anymore
Where we won't need watchmen anymore.
 
Yes, yes, who even dreamt...
 

The Melody of Souls

If I were but a simple wooden flute
I would go out to play in the fields.
If I were but an ancient violin
I would remember some backing tunes.
 
I would find melodies in me,
And please people's hearts.
I would know the Melody of Souls.
 
If only I was clear, a hollow shofar,
Then without blocking, without thinking, without limits...
If only I was a pipe drenched in light,
I would compose the way back.
 
I would find melodies in me,
And please people's hearts.
I would know the Melody of Souls.
 
But I'm a complex pianist
Who composes his errors.
If only I could find that note in me...
 
Soul, tell me how,
Make me the instrument of your mission.
If only I could, hear your voice.
 
Then I would find melodies in me,
And please people's hearts.
I would know the Melody of Souls.
 
The Melody of Souls, the melody of my life.
 

Illegalize it

Estimated chief of police, don't spliff into your pants
Rubbish should be the only thing you separate (separate, separate, separate)
I am Marsi, anti-legalization
Only smoke weed with a Marsimoto logo tattoo
Or do you want every middle-class person
To be able to buy a weed box at the kiosk?
Or your mother to ask you
If she can smoke one with you later, because she only has
a thousand grams left
No, I'm proposing a stricter law
Otherwise your headteacher will be rapping: 'Puff, puff, pass, yo!'
The guard in the German Rail wears dreadlocks
And the bank employee calls in sick all the time, I don't like that
I never want to live in such a world
There should be coffee in coffeeshops and not weed
Why should I do a show at the hemp parade
If the biggest pothead in this country wears a suit?
 
Police, lock all potheads up!
Only martians are allowed to smoke
Estimated police, lock all potheads away
We can't use them here
Estimated police, lock all potheads up!
Only martians are allowed to smoke
Estimated police, lock all potheads away
We can't use them here
 
That's the second stanza because weed is not a soft drug7
I guarantee there is no cookie left in the Leibniz tin
I don't care where you hide the stuff
20 grams, Rotterdam sunk in the lap of the kolkhoz
From Zurich to the Heidepark, Rügen to the Steiermark
I want laws like Malaysia
Be quiet, okay, I am the Blunt Phenomenamena
You smoke Camel cigarettes on a dromedary
There's nothing more beautiful than pure weed, passing the security
Marsi is in your city, lighters up, close your eyes and fly
To smuggle you have to be creative
Be a little mean, be a little bit detective
Green blood, red flag - what's up with the rehab?
Who even does withdrawal treatment nowadays?
That goes out to all Marsi enemies, Bundestag, Hasenheide
Weed aside, illegalize it!
 
Police, lock all potheads up!
Only martians are allowed to smoke
Estimated police, lock all potheads away
We can't use them here
Estimated police, lock all potheads up!
Only martians are allowed to smoke
Estimated police, lock all potheads away
We can't use them here
 
Let's agree to this
No, I don't want to insist no longer
Let's agree
That we are different from others
Illegalize it, ill-ill-ill-illegalize it
Illegalize it, ill-ill-ill-illegalize it, Marsi
 

A Butterfly Pinned Down

Translated by Jarek Zawadzki
 
How beautiful you are, oh butterfly,
But sadly from the display case you stare,
Stone-dead in a pose on a wing of an August day,
When you would rather hover in the air.
 
No wind now, lightly blowing, that may come
Will ever make you rise from non-existence
Or carry you as if a speck of dust
So that you savor altitude and distance.
 
No sunny ray will ever touch your wings,
The wings that sleep so widely open now.
You're like a sunless rainbow that upon
A pitch-black cloud has been bedimmed somehow.
 
No elm will ever more, for breakfast,
Treat you with its nectar or provide with shade,
No wind will ever ask you
To a dance upon a meadow or a forest glade.
 
Were you a gorgeous swallowtail,
You'd love sweet roses that are oft in garden grown
Around the palaces and thrones of kings,
These flowers alas have been to you unknown.
 
But there's a consolation from behind
The showcase glass you can observe all day
A nice scarce swallowtail pinned down,
Which (same as you)cannot take wing and fly away.

Nut

[Intro]
Okay...
 
[Pre-chorus]
I've lost my overview
I've lost my overview
I've lost my overvie-ie-iew
I've lost my overview
 
[Chorus]
Wooo-ooo-ooo, wooo-ooo-ooo
Wooo-ooo-ooo, nu-nu-nu-nu-nut
Wooo-ooo-ooo
 
[Verse 1]
Do you know the feeling? Do you know the feeling?
There's something on the ground, I pick it up even though I don't want to
Why, if it isn't a nut, I wonder where it belongs
And those ridiculous shitty days you spend to break even
Now, I'll only look through the hole of the nut
Do you know the feeling?
 
[Pre-chorus]
I've lost my overview
I've lost my overview
I've lost my overvie-ie-iew
I've lost my overview
 
[Chorus]
Wooo-ooo-ooo, wooo-ooo-ooo
Wooo-ooo-ooo, nu-nu-nu-nu-nut
Wooo-ooo-ooo
 
[Verse 2]
Do you know the feeling?
I'm looking for a step or a ladder or just something high
I'm looking for someone with glasses who isn't too smart or too ugly
'Cause in my experience, they're the people who see the best
Look here, look there, look now, look at me
Do you know the feeling
 
[Bridge]
I'm screwing a nut into my eye, I'm screwing a nut into my eye
I'm fucking screwing a nut into my eye so that I can't see so much
So that I can't see so much
I'm fucking screwing a nut into my eye, I'm fucking screwing a nut into my eye
So that I can't see... 'Cause I'd rather not, oh
 
[Alternative chorus]
Wooo-ooo-ooo
I'd rather not see too much
Wooo-ooo-ooo
I'd rather not see too much
Wooo-ooo-ooo
I'd rather not see
Wooo-ooo-ooo
So give it to me... nu-nu-nu-nu-nut
Nu-nu-nu-nu-nut, nu-nu-nu-nu-nut
Nu-nu-nu-nu-nut, nu-nu-nu-nu-nut

The Moths

It was a year [when] we were moths, not blood-thirsty and light,
We plaited the River of Time into melodies and tunes.
Back then the Rver of Time was only as deep1 as a small stream,
And we could hear from the lighthouse: 'We'll meet soon, good-bye,
On the Moon, on the Moon,
In the land where we're all alive.'
 
And the small lights sang along: 'Here we are lying at the bottom of the river,
The firemen and the fishermen are black and ugly.
Discordant choir of the firemen and the fishermen from the fish burrows,
We don't know evil, we don't remember our home, we only sing piteously.
We sing about the Moon, about the Moon,
About the land where we're all alive.'
 
Then the moan sounded over the water: 'I'm not a fisherman, I'm a postman,
The clowns are all around me, the nameless jesters!
Can't understand them, can't help them. Get away, you mummers!
I'm here too, at the bottom of the river, I'm lacking a hand and a leg,
I'm all made of pain and sorrow,
My eyes are like plums.
Tell my relatives, let them mourn for me,
Don't let them mourn for me, I'll wait for them aside.
On the Moon, I'll wait on the moon,
In the land where we're all alive.'
 
And he howled so drawlingly, and it was clear he wasn't a fisherman.
He rather wept than sang:
'I've been captured here for so many years, and through the surface of the spring floods
I see everything the other way around and move backwards,
The tides drag me.
The house with ivy, the window in the wall and the curtain on the window -
Everything's blurred through the wave
Like on the Moon, in the wave like on the Moon,
Like in the land where we're all alive.'
 
Suddenly he burst into screaming: 'I'm not some kind of a wag!
I'm not like some others and I'm not a heel2! I'm all in sores!
The master of this silence allows me to have dreams,
But these are dreams from the Moon, but these are dreams from the Moon,
From the land,
From the land where we're all alive.'
 
Then he kind of tensed up and began to creep out to our shore.
Unable to get out to the shore, he still tries to crawl
And moves the spine of his brown back across the waves.
He has no way to the shore but he tries to crawl,
And the dirt runs down from his shoulders, yet he crawls, he croaks, laughing,
Across the moon, laughing, across the Moon,
Across the land where we're all alive.

Black Denim Trousers and Motorcycle Boots / The man on the motorcycle

Versions: #2
He wore black denim trousers and motorcycle boots
And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back
He had a hopped-up 'cicle that took off like a gun
That fool was the terror of Highway 101
 
Well, he never washed his face and he never combed his hair
He had axle grease imbedded underneath his fingernails
On the muscle of his arm was a red tattoo
A picture of a heart saying 'Mother, I love you'
He had a pretty girlfriend by the name of Mary Lou
But he treated her just like he treated all the rest
And everybody pitied her and everybody knew
He loved that doggone motorcycle best
 
He wore black denim trousers and motorcycle boots
And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back
He had a hopped-up 'cicle that took off like a gun
That fool was the terror of Highway 101
 
Mary Lou, poor girl, she pleaded and she begged him not to leave
She said 'I've got a feeling if you ride tonight I'll grieve'
But her tears were she'd in vain and her every word was lost
In the rumble of an engine and the smoke from his exhaust
Then he took off like the Devil and there was fire in his eyes! He
Said 'I'll go a thousand miles before the sun can rise.' But he hit a screamin' diesel
That was California-bound' And when they cleared the wreckage, all They found
 
Was his black denim trousers and motorcycle boots
And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back
But they couldn't find the 'cicle that took off like a gun
And they never found the terror of High way 101
 

Sonic Underground Theme

There's three of them, a throne in front of them
but they say that it's far away.
You abandon us today, mother.
You're waiting for better time.
 
Sonic Underground
Sonic Underground
They have sworn that they will find their mother!
 
And all three of them know that they want to fight for freedom!
They look for their mother through nights, days.
Has the time come? Is it good or bad?
Will the prophecy come true?
 
Sonic Underground
Sonic Underground
 
Although I desire to be with them, for now it's impossible
'cause I don't want anything bad to happen to the children.
 
They have sworn that they will find their mother!

Jackpot

Versions: #2
You put on page notes that I can't take
You wanted quiet so you could come with the bass on it
I play timed
You prefer going in circles
You put me limits, but, excuse me
Only the fools play by rules
Yes, I pulled the handle. Yes, I wanted Jackpot,
But I've changed '777' on a fire
 
I'm starting to burn up, run, while I stay in silent
I have trotyl in my soul, you only have butterflies in your stomach
I started to love you
And i'm not stopping now
3,2,1... BOOM
 
Go and light it hard
Throw a party in my soul
Turn up the music
While i'm watching in empty
Lying on the floor
 
I'm drowing in imposible and swampy hopes
Waiting for you to get the answer from your box with chances
I got out of the sun alone
I'm not going back
To loose me in sin
Forgive me, father Apollo
 
I'm starting to light up, run, while I stay in silent
I have trotyl in my soul, you just butterflies in your stomach
I started to love you
And i'm not stopping now
3...2...1... You?
 
You tell me that everything is cool
That the risck is null
You want me to put everything on the table
Yet, you don't have any reason to
Darling, congrats
You won the Jackpot
 

Our last song

And if we were still together
And if this were our last song
We ran out of words
And you that have never got
Where to start
Let's get a drink
As if this were our last night together
Let's pretend to dance
We can't stand
But now they're closing the pub
And let yourself go
Breathe deeply
Our last song
And don't turn around
It's starting now
Our last song
(Our last song)
For you, that are better than before
And it's worthwhile
For you, that if they call you girl
Your heart hurts a little
And this night, for the last time
Let yourself go
Breathe deeply
Our last song
And don't turn around
Dance now
Our last song
(Our last song)
And let yourself go
Breathe deeply
Our last song
And don't turn around
As if it were
Our last song
(My last song)
 

The Forgotten Heroes

*He/She is naked and barefoot
The farm is where you can find
Farmer is what *he/she is called
Forgotten heroes in the farms
Bless the salt of the land, the farmer
 
They stink when beside you
Due to dried sweat
Tall buildings they raise
Forgotten heroes the laborer/worker
Bless the salt of the land, the laborer/worker
 
Every drop of their sweat
In our lives is important, blessed
Whole day the teacher stands
Their face shows lack of sleep
Mouth is dry from teaching
Forgotten heroes in the schools
Bless the salt of the land, the teacher
 
Every drop of their sweat
In our lives is important, blessed
Blessed, blessed
 

Girl from across the street

I have a dream,
a dream i hope can become reality
Want to love you,
want to be your only one, your husband
And tho I know it won't come true,
It still hope..
 
Girl from across the street,
see what you've done to my heart
You took and crushed it,
like glass underfoot
Girl from across the street
 
If only sometime I could find courage,
to put my feelings into words
There's so many beautiful things
I'd like to say to you
Girl from across the street
 
I have a dream,
but it feels so smooth that I fall asleep
And you're in that dream, and you're mine
And I never wanna wake up from that dream
 
Though you live so close
We're still so far from each other
You might as well live on the other side of the world
Girl from across the street
 
If I only knew what to do
How could I tell you all this ?
How could I tell you how things are ?
that I actually love you so muuuuuuuch....
 
Girl from across the street
You planted a seed and it grew roots
I love you hopelessly and there's no cure
Girl from across the street
Girl from across the street
Girl from across the street
 
The heaven for height, and the earth for depth,
and the heart of kings is unsearchable. (Prov 25:3 KJV)

Whip, my mother(*)

Morning wakes me up in a stranger bed
next to me there's a whore and a bottle of wine
both are empty, both are broken
both are screaming when I put them aside.
Happen to cross the street and a little hosewife
kicks me with her car and I get to...
the Emergency Hospital.
Got no insurance, no parking patch,
with no anger I am sent away
and I rush with bandages and my head broken
At work they say I'm late
But who cares, what am-I gonna do
work a month for a shitty paycheck?? Let the music play!
 
Mother, where are you, beat me up if you want to,
but come to take me away!
Mother, where are you, beat me up if you want to,
but come to take me away!
Whip it, mother!...
 
Angry, frustrated, I got two girls
both beautiful with big IQs
Credit cards got vanished
life is beautiful when you see it from your bed.
The disco is full when the cops are coming... raid!!
From the toilets, all kids are coming out
Gangsters run, no one saw a thing
Cops are laughing and beat me up a litle
I'm somewhere in a gutter and think
Isn't it better that I don't wake up anymore
Change the damn socks and government more ofen!
Some steal and get fat and losers pay!
 
Mother, where are you, beat me up if you want to,
but come to take me away, la la la la
Mother, where are you, beat me up if you want to,
but come to take me away, la la la la
Mother, where are you, beat me up if you want to,
but come to take me away, la la la la
Mother, where are you, beat me up if you want to,
but come to take me away, la la la la
Mother, where are you, beat me up if you want to,
but come to take me away, la la la la
Mother, where are you, beat me up if you want to,
but come to take me away, la la la la
 

Loner

You could've flown with me,
you could've changed,
and could've discovered that you know,
both to take and give.
You could've, but you didn't want to.
 
I don't want to tell you
where the glitch is.
If you don't see, I'm that,
your thing.
I don't have time
to open up your heart,
neither strength anymore to
argue with you.
 
You look exactly the same to me now.
Like the first day,
cold and a bit strange.*
 
A little loner
who's afraid to love,
and to be close,
will stay alone again
and forever alone.
 
A lot of times it took me back,
that you've learned very well to act.
But I know you by heart
one step forward, five steps back,
and here again in your enclosed world.
 
You look exactly the same to me now.
Like the first day,
cold and a bit strange.
 
A little loner
who's afraid to love,
and to be close,
will stay alone again
and forever alone.
 
And everything I have, I have given,
but it wasn't enough for me to save us.
And you are the way you are,
you'll never find peace,
I know that.
 
You look exactly the same to me now.
Like the first day,
cold and a bit strange.
 
A little loner
who's afraid to love,
and to be close,
will stay alone again
and forever alone.
 

Nine Lives

If only I had nine lives
To fall with you on the bed and watch a movie
And how the fear of burning up inside
Keeps leaving me behind and it's okay
All the disappointments through the years
Are stored in my heart like birthday wishes
And the luck is that I have myself
And these are the most precious riches
 
Every morning I would wake up to an ending day
Even when I told everyone that it was over
However hard I tried to speak without using words
I always felt that you were in another place
 
How I floated through space
And every day counting stars on the ceiling
Dreaming about in bed
About how you are
You'll want me back
 
You'll want me back
 
If I only had nine lives
To face the loneliness and the rain
And how I wished to fix it
And catch the dreams back in my net
 
Every morning I would wake up to an ending day
Even when I told everyone that it was over
However hard I tried to speak without using words
I always felt that you were in another place
 
How I floated through space
And every day counting stars on the ceiling
Dreaming about in bed
About how you are
You'll want me back
 
You'll want me back
 

Bedside Ghost

Sunshine on the other side of the closed curtain
This spinning spinning town, I'm feeling so fine
Look, even now there are toothbrushes aligned
It's time to replace them you know
 
Don't put in too much softener
I've told you so many times already
You have to clean it properly
And open your window once in a while
They're coming out dancing from the dusty albums
A lot of sweet melodies
 
The story I've drawn with you
The usual morning
Please don't let it disappear...
While the clock will surely stop
It will never fade
In that picture...
 
Even one second is disappointing
Until the day I start walking this life
Everyday life has went and changed
It will redecorate you, right?
But it's also a little bit lonely you know
The hand on your clock moves
At least now I can have these fun dreams
Praying at the bedside
 
Overcoming many times alone, during the sunrise...
City lights disappearing one by one...
It will take a long time but
My memories and I, will change into stars that cannot be seen
 
The story I've drawn with you
Like the shine up in the night sky
Like dreams I want to melt and mix
to become one with you...
 
Only one second, it doesn't matter
I want to walk with you again
You'll go find a replacement for me,
to have in your daily life
Yeah it is a little lonely you know
Only my clocks hands have stopped
For years I will not appear in your eyes
 
Yeah, even one second is disappointing
Until the day I start walking this life
Everyday life has went and changed
It will redecorate you, right?
But it is a little lonely too
The hand on your clock moves
At least now I can have these fun dreams
Praying at the bedside...
 

Mr. Cake

I'm your little dessert
You are the forbidden fruit
You don't come to me in small doses
After the encore, I want another encore
 
I want you to be totally mine
Oh, God, how hard I've tried
But cherries like you
Don't fall easily from the tree
 
I have love on the tray
You, the right full service
You know that your lips are
All that are on my mind right now
 
I can seem a bit crazy
I can seem much more weird
I fly like dreams and wait
For you to take at least a leap
 
Because my life is sweet
But it isn't at all fun without you
I want you be the cherry on top of me
Oh, with smiles and sweet kisses I'd like
For you to be my cherry
 
It's so simple, ooo
Cherries without cake exist
Cake without cherries, no
And all that I'd like
Is for you to be my cherry
 
The insects in my stomach
And the unforgettable moments
I would like to stretch them out
Like a chewing gum
 
To stick them in my hair
And to stick them to you too
And we have the same gum on our heads
Which sticks forever
 
Oh, God, how hard I've tried
To make her understand
That I would give her the whole world
Without hesitating, I would have given her even my guitar
And my soul and my favorite song
 
Because my life is sweet
But it isn't at all fun without you
I want you be the cherry on top of me
Oh, with smiles and sweet kisses I'd like
For you to be my cherry
 
It's so simple, ooo
Cherries without cake exist
Cake without cherries, no
And all that I'd like
Is for you to be my cherry
 
If I have made a mistake, please, tell me! Thank you!
Dacă am făcut o greșeală, te rog, spune-mi! Mulțumesc!

If I Leapt through Time

In the still closed diary
I left some pages half-written
 
Back when I was dreaming myself
Even now, it doesn't seem for me to get a little closer
 
Gather it up one by one
Even if it's a long way around
There's nothing to do in vain
Because I believe that it reaches there someday
 
If I leapt through time
I wonder what I'd tell to the past
I'm still confused but it's alright
The path is leading ahead even now
 
The hourglass that you gave me
Looks like a dream I saw one day
 
The traveler who dropped in on me
From the other side of far-off time
 
I can't get there on my own
Beyond the lofty wall
Let's go over it, hand in hand
Because I will be by your side forever
 
If I leapt through time
I wonder what I'd bring to the future
A memory that remains within my chest
Or a melody that brightens your smile
 
It doesn't change, never will
Holding on to my dreams
More and more, I want to change
That's why I like it, even more
 
Faraway era, a remote country
Echoes of the several melodies
The shine that bridges the sky
Will leap through time
 
An endlessly continuing story
On each stage of ours that we never see again
I wonder what will ever happen
On the other side of the open door
 

This told me my mother

Versions: #2
This told me my mother
that I shall buy for myself
a swift ship and with pretty oars,
to journey away with freebooters,
to stand tall on the prow,
steer a worthy merchant-ship,
direct it thus to the harbour,
strike one man and the other,
strike one man and the other.
 
With the file he strikes out, hard against the steel
of the prow-steed on the flat path,
with the chisel of the snowstorms,
the opposite-oared giant of the twig,
but the cold-made one of that willow,
the merciless one files
Gestill's swan with gusts,
this wand of steel against the ship's beak.

You look into my eyes

Feelings hid the night.
Asking with tears to help the heart, with secret rain.
The doors are open into our home, where love abounds.
The happiness is very familiar with us. My world is full of your love.
You will not understand-every hour without you is the sign of trouble.
 
You look into my eyes,- you will see in them the power of love.
There love is not afraid of death. I don't need life without you in it.
You look into my eyes,- you will see in them the power of love.
There love is not afraid of death. I don't need life without you in it.
 
I know, the time will come. happiness is my stargazer.
Love will lighten up the day and the hurt will run away, follow the parting.
Your glance- whirlpool of love. I'm in the hands of my dream.
If you will call, *twice in the river we can walk in.
 
You look into my eyes,- you will see in them the power of love.
There love is not afraid of death. I don't need life without you in it.
You look into my eyes,- you will see in them the power of love.
There love is not afraid of death. I don't need life without you in it.
 
You look into my eyes,- you will see in them the power of love.
There love is not afraid of death. I don't need life without you in it.
 

The Tiger Moth

Gonna explode after a few seconds
You can’t stop me
Broken timer switch
I’m running to 0
I won’t stop anymore
In your time, in your space
The dynamite is lighting up
The last remaining hesitation
Becomes powder
 
All right all right
It’s not a momentary clash
Allow allow
 
Burn, burn up my heart
Like a fire
My love so hot as if it’ll melt
Heart is a time bomb
The sky is dark red, dark red
Like a fire
The wait is over
 
Drunk with the dazzling you
I’m running to you
Tiger moth
I’ve already promised to let go of myself
Because it was dark
 
Fighting against the rain shower
That was like a drill
Trapped in cold air
The thing that made me fly
Was your eyes
 
I decided to be a prisoner
Forever in your love
I’m ready to go all in
I know this is my destiny
I can’t give up
If I lose you, I lose the world
Even if you can’t see me
I have to protect you
 
I can’t breathe
In my heart
In my head, you’re filled up
Decalcomanie with pieces of my tears
Like wallpaper of my heart’s cave
I’m drawing you out
But no one knows how long it’ll be
Pages filled with white space
I wanna be imprisoned in your cage
 
All right all right
It’s not a momentary clash
Allow allow
 
Burn, burn up my heart
Like a fire
My love so hot as if it’ll melt
Heart is a time bomb
The sky is dark red, dark red
Like a fire
The wait is over
 
Don’t look too long
My wings are too pitiful
 
Yes, I’m a tiger moth
Yes, I’m a tiger moth
My love so hot as if it’ll melt
Heart is a time bomb
 
Yes, I’m a tiger moth
Yes, I’m a tiger moth
I’ll live like fireworks
 

Violence, the kind that kills with words

It's in the eyes of a lost dog without a collar1,
in the heart of a man humiliated by a woman.
It's in the city, plastered on the walls,
idiotic slogans whispered by people.
 
And in the poor child as he watches his father going away,
in the searing memory of the love he's being deprived of.
It's in the voice, it's in the gestures.
You only have to whisper about it, and it will do the rest!
 
Violence, the kind that kills with words
Violence, the kind that shoots you down with a camera
Violence, the kind that won't say its name,
that will never be sorry
that murders in silence...
 
It's printed on an immigrant passport
It's displayed on photo prints2,
it's in the fear, it's in the cry,
in the eye of the victor and in his contempt.
 
It's in the hand of the one who expects it less.
Yesterday or tomorrow, it's still there.
The distant friendship, the hurtful pity,
there it holds true to all its promises.
 
(chorus)
 
It dwells in mud,
gossips and lie.
It's inside every one of us,
like a disease eating at us:
Violence!
 
(chorus)

A last loving word

Versions: #2
Maybe what I'm writing
is much more than a letter,
rather a message
following a shipwreck.
 
In the great silence
I'm calling for help,
and so I utter
a last loving word.
 
You, the impossible1 child,
the impossible dream,
my reason for being,
my love madness
 
You, through whom I exist
You, the only artist
who could make
my sad Pierrot heart dance
 
Maybe you'll laugh
as you read my letter,
this cry of distress
written by my tenderness.
 
I don't care, I love you,
and that's quite enough
to send you anyway
a last loving word.
 
You, the inscrutable
You, the irreplaceable,
more handsome than the Devil,
more distant than God
 
You, my bleeding wound2
You, without whom
the joy in my eyes and the fire in my veins
go out3
 
Maybe you'll laugh
as you read my letter,
this cry of distress
written by my tenderness.
 
I don't care, I love you,
and that's quite enough
to send you anyway
a last loving word.
 

• 1. I've added the pun, hopefully it will compensate for the nice French I couldn't render.
  A more literal translation would be 'tearaway' or the French 'enfant terrible'
• 2. lit. 'you through which I bleed'
• 3. sorry about the awkward formatting, but I can't see how to move this 'go out' in front

Escape from showbiz / Flying over the cottages of Barvikha

Leave it for someone else, I'm not interested
Let's finish this conversation, I'm not interested
I can see by your eyes who you are, if we're being honest
Don't talk to me, I'm not interested

I can see by your eyes who you are, if we're being honest
Don't talk to me
 
This is like Shawshank only showbiz
Show-show of the fake and suck-ups
Your mouth is on lock, means baby rest in peace
But I gave it my life, gave it flow this my instrumental and baby
This my escape from showbiz on my Impala
Fresh dollar ye-yea, new dollar ye-yea
I try, I try mama to make more
Fresh dollar ye-yea, new dollar ye-yea
I try, I try
Fresh, fresh, fresh flow
Fresh (sound/soul/sauce) with the freshest hairline
I'm not interested in anything, what your clique lives for
There isn't a ruler for me to measure this show
Want a spoiler? They're gonna escape right at the end of the episode
 
Leave it for someone else, I'm not interested

We're flying over the cottages of Barvikha - look
See the flock, in this flock are only psycho boys
We're flying over the cottages of Barvikha - look
Look at how amazed they are, look
We're flying over the cottages of Barvikha - look
See the flock, in this flock are only psycho boys
We're flying over the cottages of Barvikha - look
Look at how amazed they are, look
 
We're flying like plywood over Paris in a tight motion
We keep getting lower-lower-lower - no, not like that, look here
We're flying over the cottages of Barvikha like a vortex
A flock of psychos, psychos, psychos - yea like that, look here
We're flying over the cottages of Barvikha - look
Representing a southern city - region number 23
We relax b*tch in a way that everything around burns
How we fly around the stage - yea just look
Here every day is like Halloween, yea we like the dark style
Here a couple cool guys will replace a six digit check
And to be honest - I give zero f*cks about the parties in Soho
We're in the studio at night and it's not bad here at all
 
We're flying over the cottages of Barvikha - look
See the flock, in this flock are only psycho boys

We're flying, we're flying
See the flock, see the flock?
 

 

Majordomo

I hereby cede both land and tradition
To the royal undertaker and majordomo
And I shall entertain with cheer
To the man of the royal bloodline
For in the tradition of the land
It is said he takes part in the kava circle1of old
For in the tradition of the land
It is said he takes part in the kava circle of old.

Homie race up this bike

Homie race up this bike
Punch the fourth gear
and dart out this ride
 
Yo homie race up this bike
I'm the king here and
these streets are all mine
 
Homie race up this bike
Speed it up a little,
Forget your left or your right
 
Dash dash dash dash dash dash
Dash dash buddy
 
You can call me rascal or bully
Get out of the way
or get a sting in the underbelly
 
I've shredded smartass townies
in their own black ally,
I'm the local boy here
But don't try to mess with me
 
Blazin' fire trapped in my belly
Brick like my hand might just land better
Watch it buddy
 

Unmotivated

During the ending year,
Raimundo Maipú got drunk
four or five times, without having
a motive to do it.
He did a design course,
without having a motive to do it.
He argued with his wife, without having,
without having a motive to do it.
He watched television without having a motive to do it.
He updated his computer,
without a motive to do it.
He lost four kilos of weight,
he shouted thirty goals,
without a motive to do it.
And now that he approaches to the window,
from that twenty first floor office
is heard that Raimundo says that he jumps
and he just jumped.
Many said that he was bored,
Raimundo Maipú, and others have stated
that he couldn't fit with that way of life
and he had given up.
Nobody suspected that, like many other times,
he had acted, and would do it again,
without having, without having
a motive to do it.

With You For The Death

You and me are one person
Whatever happened
The injustice of the time upon us
We will be together
I agree for losing with you
All of the world for win you
Stay with me what's stopping you?
The time will go very fast
 
For the death I'll stay with you for the death
I'll walk without sight
For the death I'll stay with you for the death
To anywhere that your love take me
 
What's the meaning of the life If
Your love isn't in the heart?
My life will be cheap for you and the hard will be easy for you
Your love that in my heart is very big
And more expensive than the world a lot
And let everything that want to happen be
Don't worry
 
For the death I'll stay with you for the death
I'll walk without sight
For the death I'll stay with you for the death
To anywhere that your love take me
 
No matter how circumstances change
Seeing anybody is hard for my eye
In this world I'm not scared
Just from you
Your existence in my life is important
It's walking in the arteries of the blood
You're the most important person in my eyes
And I won't love another person
 
For the death I'll stay with you for the death
I'll walk without sight
For the death I'll stay with you for the death
To anywhere that your love take me
 
I hope you like and understand the translation that I did

Majcinska ljubav

Hvala ti sto pazis na mene
za sve neprospavane noci koje si budna lezala
hvala ti sto znas kada treba da me drzis blizu
kada da me pustis
 
hvala ti za svaki oslonac
i za stazu koja me uvek dovodi kuci
hvala ti za vreme koje si izdvojila
da vidis srce unutar mene
 
dala si mi uporiste da zapocnem zivot
a potom si mi dala krila za let
i naucio sam da sanjam
jer si ti verovala u mene
 
nema sile kao sto je ta na ovoj planeti
nema blaga jednakog njegovoj vrednosti
daru majcinske ljubavi
 
hvala ti za svaki dan obasjan suncem
koji je ispunio kutke nasih secanja
hvala ti za svako nesebicno neopevano delo
koje znam da si ucinila zbog mene
 
hvala ti sto si mi dala izbor
da trazim svoju dusu dok budem nasao svoj glas
i hvala ti sto me ucis
da budem dovoljno jak za vezivanje
 
dala si mi uporiste da zapocnem zivot
a potom si mi dala krila za let
i ja sam naucio da sanjam
jer si ti verovala u mene
 
nema sile kao sto je ta na ovoj planeti
nema blaga jednakog njegovoj vrednosti
daru majcinske ljubavi
 
zahvaljujem Bogu na majcinskoj ljubavi
 

Down to the Terminal

Kiss me like a warm wind
Kiss me a hundred meters up in the air
Kiss me like Hermine kissed Harry
Kiss me
So that something can become god
So that something can become god again
 
I know that they're closing up now
And I know that they want me to leave
The flies are beginning to look more and more like spaceships
And I think I'm starting to understand
 
And the girl from the circus is playing sober
When she's clinking empty bottles out on the courtyard
Over by the roundabout some dogs are fighting
And behind Ritz Hotel rain is coming
 
Kiss me like Sirocco
Kiss me 30 stories up high
Kiss me like Hermine kissed Harry
Kiss me so that something can become god
So that something can become god again
So that something can become god again
So that something can become god again
God again
God
So that something can become god again
 
I'm swigging up
My 'Sugar-Conny' drink
I'm going down to the terminal
It feels like a black-and-white, old film
 
Kiss me like a warm wind
Kiss me a hundred meters up in the air
Kiss me like Hermine kissed Harry
Kiss me
So that something can become god
So that something can become god again
So that something can become god again
So that something can become god again
God again
God
So that something can become god again
 

Butterflies

Give me for a while
Butterflies in my stomach
May they fly all over
Let them spread out there
They'll mess up my hair
And whisper in my ear
May they fly all over
Butterflies in my stomach
 
In the sign of Octopus,
When it embraced me whole
And by the light of crescent moon
It whispered into my hair
 
Give me for a while
Butterflies in my stomach
May they fly all over
Let them spread out there
They'll mess up my hair
And whisper in my ear
May they fly all over
Butterflies in my stomach
 
They fly out like from a shooting range
And they already know their destination
Hundreds of thousands of silent words
that secretly whisper to you
 
Give me for a while
Butterflies in my stomach
May they fly all over
Let them spread out there
They'll mess up my hair
And whisper in my ear
May they fly all over
Butterflies in my stomach
 
Let them circle around with their wings
Give chills down the spine
And before they fly away
May they spread out
 
Give me for a while
Butterflies in my stomach
May they fly all over
Let them spread out there
They'll mess up my hair
And whisper in my ear
May they fly all over
Butterflies in my stomach
 

I reach towards the sky

Welcome aboard the train to life
Here there's place for everyone, so come along
Pack your bag, let go of your fear
Bring along your cockiness
The trip goes towards the rainbow at highest speed
 
I reach towards the sky
I can reach however high I want to
I reach towards the sky
And maybe a little farther
I want to cherish every moment I can
I travel with life in my arms
 
I reach towards the sky
I reach however high I want
 
Someone says: 'Conform yourself to the line'
Others tell you have you should be
If something goes wrong, many caw 'Well, I told you so!'
Ignore the people with pretentious morality
The finger is my answer!
 
I reach towards the sky
I can reach however high I want to
I reach towards the sky
And maybe a little farther
I want to cherish every moment I can
I travel with life in my arms
I reach towards the sky
I reach however high I want
 
I reach towards the sky
I can reach however high I want to
I reach towards the sky
And maybe a little farther
I want to cherish every moment I can
I travel with life in my arms
I reach towards the sky
I reach however high I want
 
I reach towards the sky
I can reach however high I want to
I reach towards the sky
And maybe a little farther
I want to cherish every moment I can
I travel with life in my arms
I reach towards the sky
I reach however high I want
 
And maybe a little farther
