I return to you, blue sea

The sky is melting slowly in the sea
my soul is filled with your love.
Like an albatross with broken arrow
I return to your shore today
 
I return to you again and again, blue sea
as your wave is always returning to the shore
 
I return to you again and again, blue sea
and I'd love to be your only wave
 
You are mine
I am yours
The one who hears just once your scream
falls in love and never forgets your charm
 
I return to you again and again, blue sea
as your wave is always returning to the shore
 
On your field, my dreams
seem like big ships
flowers that bloom
You are to my life
the big love
Your trembling is an eternal song
 
I return to you again and again, blue sea
as your wave is always returning to the shore
 
I return to you again and again, blue sea
and I'd love to be your only wave
 
I return to you again and again, blue sea
as your wave is always returning to the shore
 
I return to you again and again, blue sea
and I'd love to be your only wave

The Garaventa

1
In the harbor of Genoa, a ship is docked from time immemorial, an old warship used as an underage rieducational institute. Its name is ‟Garaventa”.
 
The Garaventa lies still in the harbor,
and so it’s been for many years, motionless through time,
fastened to the earth by strong hawsers
and to the mud of the sea bottom by strong chains.
The Garaventa is never setting sail,
the Garaventa is never setting sail.
 
A seagull is flying, playing with the wind,
white clouds are chasing after one another in the sky.
Days pass, and months, and seasons,
the cargo hold is full of curses.
The Garaventa is never setting sail,
the Garaventa is never setting sail.
 
The screw is still, it’s a withered clover
caught in the grips of a hundred braids of seashells,
the deck is washed by tear drops,
the darkness is broken by a single lament.
The Garaventa is never setting sail,
the Garaventa is never setting sail.
 
Look: in the dark of the hatchway,
a thousand hopes lie buried,
they are waiting for a ribbon of light from the deck,
and in the meantime they are rotting miserably.
The Garaventa is never setting sail,
the Garaventa is never setting sail.

 
The Garaventa lies still in the harbor,
and so it’s been for many years, motionless through time,
fastened to the earth by strong hawsers
and to the mud of the sea bottom by strong chains.
The Garaventa is never setting sail,
the Garaventa is never setting sail.

There are dots of silence...

There are dots of silence surrounding the heart
they're the heart itself, but in front of it
lying among its various arrows,
not undone in its own death, but dealing with it.
 
It's not a scripture of silence looking for its eye,
or a God secured outside himself,
or a coward rain,
or a chased dog, by its own bark.
 
The heart is a silent hand,
which fingers are in front of it,
He imitates the beats,
but they can't be seduced.

The spring kissed

The spring kissed
smoothly, the grove,
and the new green sprouted,
as a green haze.
 
Clouds were passing by,
over the juvenile field...
I saw the leaves trembling,
the fresh April's rains.
 
Under that florid almond tree,
all filled with flowers,
-I remembered- I have cursed,
my loveless youth.
 
Today, in the middle age,
I've stopped to meditate:
''Never-lived youth,
who will dream of you again?''
 
Just learning.

Onda

Onda kada sam te poljubio, bilo je kako sam i zamišljao
Onda sam mogao da vidim da nisam pogrešio
Toliko sam sanjao da sam te pronašao
Toliko pesama napisanih o tebi
 
Onda da vidimo šta se dešava
Onda da nam se sretnu pogledi
Onda mi više nećeš pobeći
Onda...
 
Onda ću se boriti da ne odeš
Onda ću te čuvati i biti tvoj jastuk
Toliko sam sanjao da sam te pronašao
Toliko pesama napisanih o tebi
 
Onda da vidimo šta se dešava
Onda da nam se sretnu pogledi
Onda...
 
Onda da vidimo šta se dešava
Onda da nam se sretnu pogledi
Onda mi više nećeš pobeći
Onda mi više nećeš pobeći
Onda...

mucitelj

ja sam lazov i prevarant
nemam morala i lopov sam
haram i pljackam
proklet onaj koji udje
ja sam ubica i mucitelj
 
ref
mucitelj, mucitelj 4x
 
ja sam gresnik, ljubim grudi
ja sam sadista koji bicuje meso
odvodim zene, proklet onaj koji udje
ja sam ubica i mucitelj

mucitelj, mucitelj
 
ja sam gospodar lazovima
i ja rukovodim snagom vatre

Come back to me

I don´t do anything else but think
in returning by your side
I just can´t forget
those nights of love
 
I´m the only one to blame
that I gave you sideways
and you fled like the hurricane
that nothing can´t stops when passing
 
Come back to me, you know, I´m like that
I´m the winter and the summer
do it today, tomorrow for you
you have to know to forgive
 
Nobody can ever steal
those stolen kisses
that you engrave without wanting
to fire on my skin
 
It´s not bad to look back
it´s not impossible to start over
could you give me a chance
and you won´t regret
come back to me, don´t be like that
I´m broken
come back to me
and I´ll change for you

So Well

Versions: #2
When she found me
I was out there
In an awful emotional state
Feeling so sad
Lost, alone
Wandering aimlessly, from pub to pub
Looking not to find
Oh! Yeah! Yeah!
 
She demonstrated so much pleasure
Of being in my company
That I've experienced a feeling
That until then I've never known
Of wishing well
Of wishing who you have
 
And she makes me feel so good
And she makes me feel so good
That I also want
To do that for her
 
And she makes me feel so good
And she makes me feel so good
That I also want
To do that for her

I say your name to the wind

I say your name to the wind...
And the wind fills my eyes with dirt.
I say your name to the river...
And the river passes by.
I say your name then,
to a box full of eggs.
I say your name then,
to a semaphore.
I say your name anyway, to many things.
But none of theese actions represent for me,
any significant advantage and all that seems dumb for me.
So instead of keep saying your name,
I go from door to door with a suitcase,
selling encyclopedias, and I become a millionaire,
and then I die...
Like everybody.

The matter of two

So much security, so many pretexts
they´re nothing else than a barrier
that you put to hide yourself
I´ve the feeling that you love me
just like an actor that doesn´t move
neither a millimeter of the script
 
It´s the matter of two
If you never give, you can´t ask
playing masters is a matter of two
 
You´ll never be a God, I seek the perfect
protective guardian, although the hell
fill up a million times
I let myself go like a swan
caught in waltz
so lonely and sad, and I
dress that to charm you
 
It´s a matter of two
 
The role of the thief of the country of fantasy
it won´t give you a chance to conquer
my heart, my heart, my heart
 
It´s a matter of two

Desperanto

You and I we can't talk
there's no conversation
that doesn't end in discussion
and I think, do you remember
all the time that we spent
chatting on the phone
the happy hours
that won't return
until we don't learn
to talk in esperanto.
 
You and I we don't know to say
neither to feel
what I feel that we must say
and I don't know if in the end
many things that we said
just for saying them to us
(happy words)
will make me remember
that they don't sound the same
if they're not in your mouth.
 
I don't know what word to say
to not confuse
nor talking just for talking
with the fatal risk
of saying stupid things that
don't match with the things that
I feel and I think
that you sholdn't say
what you can feel
if it doesn't have sense.

It makes me so much Good

Listen well love of mine
And trust this song
And every word that's dedicated to you
Can save me from this pain
That had been inside my soul
And teach me what it feels like
To be happy
 
I would give all
Only for returnning, such love
All that i can give
I feel it will never be enough
 
It makes me such well
To be near you
Makes me so much good
To remain by your side
 
Reachin such height like the sun
And never being at the height of your love
 
Yes, I'll come back to find poems for you
And i didn't find words that can describe
'Cause i'm feelin' like flying , when you're here
'Cause i'm trembling when i'm thinkin' that you can be tired of me
 
I would give all
Only for returnning, such love
All that i can give
I feel it will never be enough
 
It makes me such well
To be near you
Makes me so much good
To remain by your side
 
Reachin such height like the sun
And never being at the height of your love
 
It makes me such well
To be near you
Makes me so much good
To remain by your side
 
Reachin such height like the sun
And never being at the height of your love
 
Ye, ye, ye, yeaaahhhh!!
Ye, ye, ye, yeaaahhhh!!
Oooohhh!
Imposible!
 
What more can i say
If when i gaze at you
All is perfect
Yes, i already know that i am from the street
and humbled
Ye, ye, ye, yeaaahhhh!!
But the wealth of mine is you
 
Ye, ye, ye, yeaaahhhh!!

I WILL CHERISH YOU

i will cherish you with this lullaby
i will rock you to rest on a fine cloth mesh
i will soothe you to sleep with a gentle sway
in a short while, you'll soon be at rest
(Chorus)
my aching heart - it hurts so much.
with a pain so intense that i cry
o Lord, please shower me with nurture
it is pitiful if i were to die.
 
and as soon as i know that you're sound asleep
i will cover your face with my handkerchief
so no fly will land on your tender face
and you'll enjoy your slumber in peace
(Chorus)
and when you are awake from your restful sleep
i'll be right there to hold you so you don't weep
and i'll cuddle you as a little child
so you could see my wonderful smile
(Chorus)

Priđi polako

Ljubavi oslobodila si mi život
Ljubavi svi izlazi
Vode uvek do tvog neba
Promenićeš mi (ulepšaćeš mi) dane
Sada te gledam i gledam
Sada te tražim i pronalaziš me
Ubrzavaš otkucaje srca
Kada si mi blizu
 
Želim da budem svetlost, da gledam tvoju ulicu
U tišini dok spavaš, ono što ćeš prvo videti kad se probudiš
Ti si moje najveće iskušenje kojem ne mogu odoleti
I bez tebe ne znam
 
Priđi polako, tako polako
Zagrli me jako da zabole tela
Pričaj mi polako jer me brzo vodiš
Voli me ove večeri kao što si one prve
Priđi polako, tako polako
Počnimo malo pomalo neka se iscrpe poljupci
Oslobodi ritam tvojih bokova bez straha
Voli me ove večeri kao što si one prve
 
Popiću gutljaj po gutljaj tebe
I za mene lanci
Večnosti sa tobom
Biće blagoslovena osuda
Tebi poklanjam vreme
U tebi su moje noći jedrenja
U tebi plovim mirno
Uz tvoje vrele poljupce
 
Želim da budem svetlost, da gledam tvoju ulicu
U tišini dok spavaš, ono što ćeš prvo videti kad se probudiš
Ti si moje najveće iskušenje kojem ne mogu odoleti
I bez tebe ne znam
 
Priđi polako, tako polako
Zagrli me jako da zabole tela
Pričaj mi polako jer me brzo vodiš
Voli me ove večeri kao što si one prve
Priđi polako, tako polako
Počnimo malo pomalo neka se iscrpe poljupci
Oslobodi ritam tvojih bokova bez straha
Voli me ove večeri kao što si one prve

Into the open air

Our love is like a star
No matter where we are, it takes us home
Our love is like sun
No matter what we do, it enlightens us
 
I always try to talk to you
But the wind takes my words away
How have we come to this point?
We didn't appreciate what we had
What will I feel?
Will we maintain, what we are trying to reach?
How to break this barricade between us
We must stand on our feet
We can take our love
Into the sky
We can take this love like sun
Into the sky.

On the street*

Versions: #2
All the hurting he causes you, you‘re hiding it really well
Nobody sees the scars he‘s leaving on your heart
When you walk by, what do people do? They ask if you make love with him and you feel bad again and you understand that a love like that cannot last
On the street people already talk about it, (they say) he‘s married and he comes and only gets his pleasure, every evening
His touch makes you feel good, his kisses make you get naked
On the street they say you‘re such a fool to fall for a guy who is already in love (with another woman), if you had the guts to tell him, you would be the first one that won‘t forgive him
How can you sleep with him again and again if you know that he doesn‘t feel anything for you?
The only thing he does is look for excuses to make love... it is not right to feel like this, and tonight say „no“
(Repeats)

Together

For so much time
I keep this feeling
I feel united with you
I see you and I feel like I´m dying
 
I know what I should feel

I´m stupid if you escape me
 
For so much time
I keep this feeling

She's Singing And The Sounds Are Melting...

Versions: #2
She's singing and the sounds are melting
Like tender kisses on her lips.
She's glancing and the skies're reflecting
In her divine eyes like eclipse.
When she is walking - all her motions,
When uttering a word - her lines're
So full of feeling and emotion,
Of wondrous innocence and signs.

Phantom

No one sees me, though I am . . .
I am at the heart of your life
When your gazes flee from me
They abandon me to the void
Do I deserve to be forgotten? (Forgotten)
I am a phantom . . . a forgotten phantom
(Forgotten, forgotten)
I am a phantom . . . a forgotten phantom
 
I am not a diamond dealer, the place Vendôme¹
But when I look in the mirror
It's not a phantom that I see,
but a man that, like you, has his place
the small stones that I bring to
the edifice are not less important²
But you do not even see me, though
I carry you with boundless energy
I am the glue that holds this country together
Why do you forget me so easily?
Transparent
I don't expect to be thanked anymore
 
No one sees me, though I am . . .
I am at the heart of your life
When your gazes flee from me
They abandon me to the void
Do I deserve to be forgotten? (Forgotten)
I am a phantom . . . a forgotten phantom
(Forgotten, forgotten)
A forgotten phantom
I am a phantom . . . a forgotten phantom
 
I am that man that, at dawn,
Prowls and cleans the streets of your city
I would have thrown away my broom years ago
If I had to worry about what you think
I am that man behind the wheel of your bus
And, to you, I am just another driver
But you entrust me with your life
When you fall asleep against the window
I am that instructor
That tries to offer a future to your children
And when I become the object of their ridicule
You are not there to admire my patience
I am that nurse
That teaches a new mother how to breast-feed
But you don't see me because
I don't have a medical license
 
(Forgotten, forgotten)
I am a phantom . . . a forgotten phantom
No one sees me, though I am . . .
I am at the heart of your life
When your gazes flee from me
They abandon me to the void
Do I deserve to be forgotten? (Forgotten, forgotten)
I am a phantom . . . a forgotten phantom
A forgotten phantom
A forgotten phantom
A forgotten phantom
(Forgotten, forgotten)
I am a phantom . . .

I'm In Love

I'm in love...
 
You tell me what are you going if you come back
Making me feel so bad
You tell me what do you do then do not regret it
If you take one more step, we lose our heads
Be careful and you will see
If you take another step, you burn or kiss me
I confess
I did not believe in love, but I want you to know
 
I have fallen in love, my heart has stolen
I have not given it to you and you have it
And here you leave me
I fell in love, now I have your hands
I know you feel me, although you deny it
Tell me what are you waiting for and give me your heart.
 
I run through the streets just like a devil runs
I can not anymore
I just want to see your lips and come slowly
And I confess you
I did not believe in love, but I want you to know
 
I have fallen in love, my heart has stolen
I have not given it to you and you have it
And here you leave me
I fell in love, now I have your hands
I know you feel me, although you deny it
Tell me what are you waiting for and give me your heart.
 
I confess
I know that we are you and I the only answer
I confess
I did not believe in love, but I want you to know
 
I have fallen in love, my heart has stolen
I have not given it to you and you have it
And here you leave me
I fell in love, now I have your hands
I know you feel me, although you deny it
Tell me what are you waiting for and give me your heart.
 
I confess

I love you so much

I love you so much,
Don't ask me anymore, I love you so much.
That I wake up in yoou when you wake up,
And I become light when light knocks in your door.
And in the mornings
I strike the whiteness of your bed,
And I'm the black glow of your hair,
That falls over the warmth of your back, of your back.
 
I'm the adventure,
You're the reality, you're the tenderness.
I'm the freedom, you're the hope.
The life you give to me and it's not enough, it's not enough.
Today my dear
Let's make love with joy.
Let's try to live with fantasy,
Let's play fearless that today is the day, our day.
 
I love you so much,
I hide in the secrets of your room.
And I paint the colors of your flowers,
And I'm the man who loves you and removes your fears.
And I'm the fire
That brings away the sadness of the winter.
And when you're not here I'm the silence
Who wants to be your voice to say that I love you.

The Date

Versions: #2
I was wrong so many times by now, I already know
that almost certainly today
I am wrong about you
 
but what difference can one more time make in this life of mine..
Accepting this odd date,
it was insanity! (some folly)
 
I am sad among the people
passing by
but the wistful feeling (nostalgia) of seeing you again
is stronger than the tears
 
This sun lights up on my face a sign of hope
I am waiting and suddenly
I will see you appear yonder (in the distance)
 
My love be here soon (hurry up), I can't take it (resist)
if you don't come, I don't exist
I don't exist , I don't exist ...
 
The weather has changed, and it is raining
but I stay and wait (keep on waiting)
I am not concerned (don't care) about what the world will think [of me]
I don't wanna go.
 
I look within myself and wonder
but I feel nothing (hear nothing?)
I am just some remains of hope
lost among people
 
My love it's already late and I can't take it (resist)
if you don't come, I don't exist
 
Lights, cars, shop windows, roads
they all confuse into my mind
my shadow got tired of following me
the day slowly dies
 
All that's left is to go back to my house
to my sad life
This life I wanted to give to you
you crumbled it between your fingers
 
My love forgive me but I can't take it...
Now forever, I don't exist

Vetar u mojoj kosi, repriza

I nalazim sebe zakljucanog opet i osecam
da to nije san koji sam sanjao
 
imao sam ljubav jednom blisku
znam da me voli
ali to vise nije moja sudbina
 
vetar koji imam u kosi
hrani tu vatru
koju osecam u sebi
to je emocija koja raste i znam sta je to
 
povetarac koji cujem ovde
gura me cak vise
znam da imam taj vetar koji
duva unutar mene

Bunny


Always call you at last gasp
Always busy, other guests
 
Always come to you at once
Needn’t planning in advance
 
Feel like trainer, feel so good
Only come when in my mood
 
You pay visit to my tower
Just to bring from you a flower
 
Kiss is gift you get from me
It is HOT and it is free
 
Way you treat me makes me cower
I’m a wither precious flower
 
Know you
Pet another bunny
That makes me unsunny
And I’m just a backup-honey [2x]
 
Swang by you just for an hour
Throw some bones and take a shower
 
Faith’s my main attribute
I’m a perfect substitute
 
Always take you seriously
Promise stars occasionally
 
Only promises so far
Maybe I’m no worthy star
 
Fold you firmly to my breast
You asked not to leave your nest
 
You said you would never leave
As turned out you deceived
 
Know you
Pet another bunny
That makes me unsunny
And I’m just a backup-honey
 
You’re my sunshine, You’re my sunshine, You’re my sunshine, Sunshine…
You’re my sunshine, You’re my sunshine, You’re my sunshine, Sunshine…
 
Know you
Pet another bunny
That makes me unsunny
And I’m just a backup-honey
 
Know you
Pet another bunny
That makes me unsunny
And I’m just a backup-honey

I'm sorry

You always said you would never leave if it didn't go well for you
Not fighting for what you want has only one name - and it is called 'losing'
If I did hurt you, it was not without wanting you, but without wanting to
Just tell me what do you prefer if you have to choose 'to have' or 'to fear'
You only think about how it ends
I only think about how will I end up
One day you tell me 'I'm not in the mood'
Another day I think so as I've never won you over
I did everything because you stayed
Now I think 'What was I left with?'
Lost time? Perhaps I have won it
to miss you so I would say I have missed you
 
[Chorus]
I'm sorry for making you waste time
For thinking of giving it another try
For having you, fighting with you and making you feel that you'd be happy
I blow up, because sometimes I don't understand myself
How am I going to understand 'us'
If I never even understood you?
 
I know that not caring about the past that was killing me before is just growing up
That we've never been 'us two' since including the fear we were three
Because we are so much alike that if you leave, I'll leave as well
Failure is having a problem and never learning from it
If you are going to stay, let it be with me
If you're going to run, let it be to the edge
I know that the future has not happened before
Now I do realize that it is with you
I've already won at the same time and it's not lost
I never remember, but I don't forget
There are more letters that were never given
because the person who wrote them does not have the strength anymore
 
[Chorus]
I'm sorry for making you waste time
For thinking of giving it another try
For having you, fighting with you and making you feel that you'd be happy
I blow up, because sometimes I don't understand myself
How am I going to understand 'us'
If I never even understood you?
 
Because your achievements will tell where you are and your failures just where to go
What good is quantity to me if only the intensity is going to make me happy?
Before doing what is going to destroy us, I prefer to save you and do it to you
You no longer get that I can't give you something I don't have and it doesn't live in me
 
[Chorus]
I'm sorry for making you waste time
For thinking of giving it another try
For having you, fighting with you and making you feel that you'd be happy
I blow up, because sometimes I don't understand myself
How am I going to understand 'us'
If I never even understood you?
 
You always said you would never leave if it did not go well for you
Not fighting for what you want has only one name - and it is called 'losing'
If I did hurt you, it was not without wanting you, but without wanting to
Just tell me what do you prefer if you have to choose 'to have' or 'to fear'

Gabino Barrera

Gabino Barrera wouldn't listen to reason
when he was drinking
He carried a pistol with six clips,
He could please anyone.
He wore a mustache in the shape of a square
His kerchief around his neck
clothes made out of cotton, a leather jacket
His hat rolled up.
 
He put on huaraches on his peasant feet
And sometimes he walked barefoot
But he loved to pay for the Mariachi bands
He didn't care about money.
While holding a bottle of sugar-cane alcohol
he would shout: 'Long live Zapata!'
because he was a peasant, that southern indian
he was a fine man.
 
He was tall, strong, broad-shouldered
His face was very unfriendly
His dark gaze made him
look like a mountain vulture.
Gabino Barrera would leave behind
many women with his children
That's why the people in the area
had put a price on his head.
I remember the night he was shot to death
He had just been with his woman
Eighteen rifle shots rang
and he had no chance.
Gabino Barrera died the way
real men die
For a woman he lost his bet,
just as they are lost in cockfights.
