Laziness

I can't be bothered, too lazy to think of you
Yes I can't be bothered, too lazy to be like you
I can't be bothered, be bothered you'll remember that
Yes I can't be bothered, be bothered and it's just like it is
 
I don't want to live again, what you've done to me
My sofa is better than your bed, far from your frenzy
Tell me what you're looking for, don't worry I see that you're not fine
I've never seen such a critical night, it's time for all to finish
 
I can't be bothered, too lazy to think of you
Yes I can't be bothered, too lazy to be like you
I can't be bothered, be bothered you'll remember that
Yes I can't be bothered, be bothered and it's just like it is
 
Stop hanging on me, you know I don't stand that
I repeat it to you, my heart is dark, if you seek me you're gonna fall down
Always being high, you've never really been here
Whether you say that or not, you know, there wasn't only you
 
Do you really think that I don't have feelings
Yesterday I told you that I loved you and now
I'm gonna make you believe that you've always hurt me
I've warned you that you and me, that's over
No turning back, I can't forgive you anymore and now
 
I can't be bothered, too lazy to think of you
Yes I can't be bothered, too lazy to be like you
I can't be bothered, be bothered you'll remember that
Yes I can't be bothered, be bothered and it's just like it is

In the next life

You were always a woman
That would appeal to me
And in my thoughts I had
already imagined many things
 
You don't look bad either
with your washboard abs.
You have brains, humor
Romantic are you also
 
We both know, we could if we wanted to
But we would never do what we shouldn't.
 
In the next life
Who knows, maybe us two?
But now we're taken,
Not free for each other.
In the next life
Everything can be different
Let us not risk it now
What we regret afterwards
 
Now you're standing there within reach
But when the night begins
Everyone knows where he belongs
And where the limits are.
People say often that friendship
Doesn't exist for a woman and a man
But we are a proof
How well that can go.
 
We both know, we could if we wanted to
But we would never do what we shouldn't.
 
In the next life
Who knows, maybe us two?
But now we're taken,
Not free for each other.
In the next life
Everything can be different
Let us not risk it now
What we regret afterwards
 
(In the next life.
But now we're taken.)
 
In the next life
Everything can be different
Let us not risk it now
What we regret afterwards,
What we regret afterwards.
 

My joy

Sun and darkness, you're everything
Fire and rain or a star
In the bright day you bring dreams
So I can have you until the end
 
You give me your life
On a quiet day with a joyful call
With small things under the sky 1
You give me love
 
My joy, let's be together
My joy, let there be no parting
My joy, my endless tenderness
My joy, remain boundless
 
A star falls, a quiet star
But only you shine for me
And I carry a trace in me
Like a verse in a poem
 
You're everything for me, everything
And I will always walk by your side
And my breath will always whisper
The words of my love
 
(x2):
My joy, let's be together
My joy, let there be no parting
My joy, my endless tenderness
My joy, remain boundless
 
My joy, my endless tenderness
My joy, remain boundless
My joy, let's be together
My joy, let there be no parting
 

• 1. Literal translation of свод is vault, arch, but my interpretation is that the vault of the sky is meant, this does exist as a meaning and expression in Bulgarian

Should any man come from afar

Should any man come from afar
with a language
that perhaps enclosed
sounds,
with the neighing
of the mare
or
the peeping
of the young
blackbird
or
as well, like the screeching of a saw
cutting into pieces everything around -
 
Should any man from afar
come erring like a dog
or
perhaps, like a rat
and it is winter-time,
if so, give him warm clothes,
he might also have fire under his soles
( he is perhaps riding a meteor )
if so, do not go scolding him,
if your pierced carpet starts screaming -
 
A foreigner always bears
his Motherland in his arms,
like a waif..
For her he is maybe
just looking for a grave.

What you're gonna do to me, tell me what you're gonna do to me, tell me what you're gonna do to me, tell me
Tell me what you're gonna go to me, tell me what you're gonna do to me, tell me what you're gonna do to me, tell me
 
The purple walls vibrate, labyrinths of words, dripping saliva
It comes down here, on your back
My hands are origami of a black panther, morphine
 
The alcoholic sedative runs, it melts between our lips
Slowly, slowly, slowly
 
Bare skin, brush against me, consume all the beats of my racing heart
If I feel like my head is empty
Your shadow tattooed on my body discovers me, it explores me
 
The atomic sedative flows, it melts between our lips
Slowly, slowly, slowly
 
What you're gonna do to me, tell me what you're gonna do to me, tell me what you're gonna do to me, tell me
 
It's s-starting it's s-starting it's s-starting to
It's s-starting it's s-starting it's s-starting to
It's s-starting it's s-starting it's s-starting to
It's s-starting it's s-starting it's s-starting to please me, but what will you—
 
Untangle my veins if they pulse at 200 BPM
Curl up the flow of time 'cause the night is short
Your mouth on mine, effortless and contorted choreography
 
The erotic sedative flows, it melts between our lips
Slowly, slowly, slowly
 
Stitch me onto your goosebumps, shivers travel down the neck, collapse
Revive my heart, your mouth on mine, a grapefruit and raspberry anesthesia
(Listen to how this fizzes)
 
Dream of me until the moment everything finishes
Dream of me until the moment the night ends
 
What you're gonna do to me, tell me what you're gonna do to me, tell me what you're gonna do to me, tell me
Tell me what you're gonna go to me, tell me what you're gonna do to me, tell me what you're gonna do to me, tell me
 
It's s-starting it's s-starting it's s-starting to
It's s-starting it's s-starting it's s-starting to
It's s-starting it's s-starting it's s-starting to
It's s-starting it's s-starting it's s-starting to please me, but what are you gonna do to me?
 
The pleasure is starting but what are you gonna do to me?
It's giving me pleasure but what are you—
You're sending me into orbit, reverie
I wanna hear what you're gonna do to me
 

Winter tale

A coastal tanker skirrs through the drift ice in Kvarken
A workout in Ullevi in mist
The border station in Torneå, an old woman on a kicksled
Landsorts lighthouse where the snowstorm closes in
Dense snow that dribbles on the slopes of Mariaberget
Hot and sweaty at Stadt* in Härnösand
A truck in whirling snow between kiruna and the distance
Flickering lights at Visby harbor
 
That's when the vast melancholy rolls in
And the sea blows an icy gray-cold wind
 
In Malmö, the fog is teared by the ferries sirens
And on the other side of the strait, the world begins
A lone Vovlo struggles against the wind on Tjörnbron
The cinema in Pajala shows 'Deliverance'
The Lapland arrow* roars like a wild beast through the night
The farms turn off their lights
A storm-whipped Märstrand calls its Pater Noster*
Stockholm city is swaying in drunkenness
 
That's when the vast melancholy rolls in
And the sea blows an icy gray-cold wind
 
Truckers on coffee break at Docksta in the shadow of the highway
An overdose at Skärholmen station
Snow-covered farms somewhere on Österlen
And an intoxication grows at Mommas restaurant
Frozen thirst in the line to the city pub in Luleå
Fozen dreams out in Monarkin
The love lives between the night shift and the dream
The love is sustained by cheap wine
 
That's when the vast melancholy rolls in
And the sea blows an icy gray-cold wind
 
That's when the vast melancholy rolls in
And the sea blows an icy gray-cold wind
 
Notes
Stadt: Name of a hotel.
Lapland arrow/Lapplandspilen: A night train that went from southern sweden up to the north. Stopped it's operation in the 80s.
Pater Noster: A lighthouse near Marstrand, also a play on words and can be interpreted as 'Härnösand prays its paternoster'.
 

To the future

I read your horoscope, you're heading to a new direction. The weather for the rest of the week is hot and humid also. You think, if one isn't a score, then the others won't be either. But there's plenty of fish in the sea and rush in the beach bar.
 
This is your day to lean in the wind
Trust me I can see to the future
There's a queue of men and love is in the next corner
Baby today gods hear you
I see to the future
There's light and sheets messed out of happiness
 
I see out of your palm, the luck is going to turn today
Star charts tell that it isn't worth to leave in bed
You don't believe yet and you don't even have to
You will see
What you wanted and more, you will get
That all is waiting for you
 
This is your day to lean in the wind
Trust me I can see to the future
There's a queue of men and love is in the next corner
Baby today gods hear you
I see to the future
There's light and sheets messed out of happiness
 
Forwards like there's no yesterday
Nobody said it's going to be easy
When you fall I'm going to stand behind you, behind you
 
This is your day to lean in the wind
Trust me I can see to the future
There's a queue of men and love is in the next corner
Baby today gods hear you
I see to the future
There's light and sheets messed out of happiness
 

Oh, what a desire!

I wanted to look for the footprints under your feet
I wanted to look at the sky and be
A horizon of stars and sea
And sail through those coral seas
I'll search there where my dreams come true
To tie myself with your hair
 
(Oh, what a desire) Your skin provokes
(I follow your tracks) Of caramel and honey
(Oh, what a desire) Your skin provokes
(I follow your tracks) Of caramel and honey
 
(Among the foam to be) Salt of the wide sea
(To make of your looking) Echoes of an Eden
(Among the foam to be) To tie myself inside you, echoes of love
A verse and a flower, oh, a verse and a flower
 
(Oh, what a desire) Your skin provokes
(I follow your tracks) Of caramel and honey
(Oh, what a desire) Your skin provokes
(I follow your tracks) Of caramel and honey

Neither the Stars, Nor the Sea

There is nothing more beautiful
For a poet's heart,
Than to look at the stars,
Than to listen to the sea.
 
But something more beautiful
Inspired me tonight:
Were your eyes
Your voice, love!
 
The stars shone, and I didn't look at them,
The sea sang, I didn't listen to it.
I was just looking at you and hearing you,
Sighing: 'Mine, you are mine!'
 
I no longer counted the stars,
I no longer spoke to you of the sea.
Two stars I had before me,
And I called upon: 'Mine, you are mine!'
 
Happy I dreamed,
Looking at you like that:
A kiss only,
A moment it will unite us.
 
Until every star went down
And the sea finally fell asleep,
We greeted each other like this,
With languor: “Mine, you are mine!
Mine, you are mine!'
 
Happy I dreamed,
Looking at you like that:
A kiss only,
A moment it will unite us.
 
Until every star went down
And the sea finally fell asleep,
We greeted each other like this,
With languor: “Mine, you are mine!
Mine, you are mine!'
 
I watched neither the stars, nor the sea,
There was my love!
 

All Good Things

Honestly, what will become of me?
Don't like reality.
It's way too clear to me,
but really life is daily.
We are what we don't see.
We miss everything daydreaming.
 
Flames to dust, lovers to friends.
Why do all good things come to an end?
Flames to dust, lovers to friends.
Why do all good things come to an end?
 
Only this way I could find again
the courage to, to take another chance on us
in spite of everything.
To run far away from here now
and ask ourselves what was the reason.
Tomorrow we'll come back like this,
I'll come back to you, to you, to you, to you, to you.
 
Flames to dust, lovers to friends.
Why do all good things come to an end?
Flames to dust, lovers to friends.
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end? Come to an?
Why do all good things come to an end?
 
And the dogs were whistling a new tune,
barking at the new moon,
hoping it would come soon
so that they could.
 
Dogs were whistling a new tune,
barking at the new moon,
hoping it would come soon
so that they could die.
 
I already feel it.
It's like getting lost.
If you try to believe in us,
I'll try it like this.
I can believe in this.
I'll come back like this.
We'll come back like this.
 
Flames to dust, lovers to friends.
Why do all good things come to an end?
Flames to dust, lovers to friends.
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end? Come to an?
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end? Come to an?
Why do all good things come to an end?
 
Well, the dogs were barking at the new moon,
whistling a new tune,
hoping it would come soon.
 
And the dogs were barking at the new moon,
whistling a new tune,
hoping it would come soon
so that they could die.
 

Say It Again

You did it again
Just now
You said the thing that
Must never be said
You said it to me
The completely unbearably ruthlessly
Forbidden
You said: 'I love you
I love you, I love you'
 
You put your hand on my back
I turned around
And you did the thing that
Must never be done
You stroked my forehead with big, warm, strong, safe
Hands
And said: 'I love you
I love you, I love you'
 
Say it again, say it again!
Say it again
I want to hear [?]
Say it again
Say it,
Say it again,
Say it again
Say it again!
 
Now I'll never be free again
Now you've got me stuck
I can't live anymore
Also
Because you said it to me: the thing I've longed all my life
To hear
You said: 'I love you
I love you, I love you'
 
Say it again, say it again!
Say it again
I want to hear [?]
Say it again
Say it,
Say it again,
Say it again
Say it again!

I go

I have no friends I need to say goodbye
I don’t even have a book that I need to rewrite
There are no nights or dawns for sleep drunk with wine
There are no clothes of yours that I pick up from the floor
 
There are no blank letter papers left to burn
Nor sea, nor beach, nor boat to sail
There is no date on the calendar to congratulate
Our old radio stopped talking
 
I go, I go, I go, Towards my solitude
I go, I go, I go, Leaving everything behind
I go, I walk slowly, but I’m patient
I go, slowly, but I have determination
 
I go, I go, I go, Towards my solitude
I go, I go, I go, Leaving everything behind
I give everything I have, my singing is brave
I say what I believed in a different way than others
 
They will remember the words of my song
They will remember every note that my voice gave
And I will get lost in the width of time
As the free verse, I will fly free
 
There are no blank letter papers left to burn
Nor sea, nor beach, nor boat to sail
There is no date on the calendar to congratulate
Our old radio stopped talking
 
I go, I go, I go, Towards my solitude
I go, I go, I go, Leaving everything behind
I go, I walk slowly, but I’m patient
I go, slowly, but I have determination
 
I go, I go, I go, Towards my solitude
I go, I go, I go, Leaving everything behind
I give everything I have, my singing is brave
I say what I believed in a different way than others
 

Tortuga

When I was a child I was fat 1
They used to make fun of me
The seniors of my school in front of the Tortuga 2
 
And at the school parties
We used to dance slow dances
Lights would turn off on careless hands
On innocent [hands]
 
I'd write and cry, and I was already thinking about you
In my dark room
What a light there was
 
Absolute silence
The Greek translation 3
If you got a sentence wrong, it couldn't be fixed
 
Your lost eyes
Four desks behind
I feel such a coward while you're calling out for help
Calling out for help
 
And I cried and I wrote
And I lived for you
And the empty room
Was full of you
 
And my time was going by
Meaner than ever. In Italy a deadly war was about to start 4
A deadly [war]
 
I was hammering on the piano
More confident every day
A voice was screaming I wasn't innocent
Innocent
 
And I cried and I wrote
I was thinking about you no more
In my dark room
What a light there was
 
When I was a child I was fat
They used to make fun of me
The seniors of my school in front of the Tortuga
 
And at the school parties
We used to dance slow dances
Lights would turn off on careless hands
On innocent [hands]
Innocent
Innocent
Innocent
 

• 1. Venditti, the author of the song, actually had weight problems in his youth.
• 2. Tortuga is a pub in Rome, in front of the high school Giulio Cesare (the one attended by the author).
• 3. ancient Greek is a distinctive subject learned in Italian 'liceo classico' ('classical high school'), the school attended by Venditti.
• 4. arguably a reference to the 'years of lead'? (cfr. )

Wake up Gliori

Today that I faced you
and saw your picture,
your bravery I imagined
and your valor.
 
Don't let them catch you alive
even though it was as luck had it,
beucase for our homeland
your blood was shed.
 
Wake up my Gliori to see
how Victory was so close,
and you they put in front
because to you it belongs.
 
A mother of such a hero
is an insult to cry,
she insults her brave son
the one who will be missed.
 
Offering to my Homeland,
my son, my life,
and because he didn't surrender,
and stayed and got killed
may he have my grace.
 

Illusion

Walking through strange streets...
Of the great city
Walking very sad and very lonely
I wanted to find you
 
Oh but I did find you
In arms of another
I didn't bother you, I ran and I cried
Feeling the anger
Of having found you with another love
 
Oh but tell me, tell me, tell me
Why did you lie to me
If you always swore that I was your adoration
Oh but tell me, why..
Didnt you wait for me
An illusion, merely what your love was
And that love which one day you swore to me, time erased
 
Oh but tell me, tell me, tell me
Why did you lie to me
If you always swore that I was your adoration
 
Oh but I did find you in arms of another
I didn't bother you, I ran and I cried
Feeling the anger
Of having found you with another love
Illusion of love
Illusion of love..
Illusion of love!
 

The hair

She helped me out of my jacket,
she gave me a kiss on the mouth.
I held her, trembling, close to my heart,
when out of the blue she told me: 'You cheater!'
 
Such a big deal out of a blond hair
on my waistcoat
It must have flown,
oh, fate sure is bizarre,
right upon me
 
I told her: 'My love, I swear on my honour
I could never betray you'
But she replied: 'I don't believe such things,
because you know how to lie'
 
Then, she brought the hair to a chemist,
and, having analyzed it,
he issued a certificate
in which he wrote, 'I declare what follows:
 
It is not a human hair,
it is a horse-mane hair from the overcoat,
you can only make such a mistake
if you have in your heart
loving jealousy'.
