Teenagers

Ordinary kids from a simple neighborhood
go around the city in cheap nikesd
while mom is at work, as well as dad
They can drink 'Day' but it's important to not get caught at home
Ordinary kids from a small town
spit on fences and go to them to take pictures
They can do it while 'Day' hasn't been finished
They can only be cheerful, forgetting about everything else.
 
Do you see that beautiful sunset by the house?
I'll take a picture and put it on instagram
I'll write a quote along with it and dedicate it to someone
and then go home
There's a pack with two cigarettes on the carpet
Where the other eighteen?
Tommorrow I'll quit smoking and drinking for my education
Even though I won't really
 
They caught and punished us
Arrested for a week
Why can't adults understand
how hard it is to be a teenager
 

Forgive me Mother

I go out on a Saturday night
I got dressed and did my makeup like a whore
My mother thinks I'm with a friend, but I'm actually not
I'm partying in the apartment with some rubbish
 
Forgive me, mother, girls really don't drink
Girls don't smoke nor lie
Forgive me, mother, I really want to make some noise
If someone suddenly hears it, then I'll go puke
 
Forgive me, mother (x4)
 
A lot of boys tend to use
A lot of girls like to make noise
A lot of boys smoke like a steam engine
A lot of girls like to sleep around
 
A lot of boys tend to use
A lot of girls like to make noise
A lot of boys smoke like a steam engine
A lot of girls like to sleep around
 
Sleep around (x2)
 
I go home Sunday morning
I smell really strongly, and I'll stand up for myself
Mom's still home, she'll catch me and arrest me
and then I will surely give up on everyone
 
Forgive me, mother, girls really don't drink
Girls don't smoke nor lie
Forgive me, mother, I really want to make some noise
If someone suddenly hears it, then I'll go puke
 
Forgive me mother (x4)
 
A lot of boys tend to use
A lot of girls like to make noise
A lot of boys smoke like a steam engine
A lot of girls like to sleep around
 
A lot of boys tend to use
A lot of girls like to make noise
A lot of boys smoke like a steam engine
A lot of girls like to sleep around
 
Boys and girls (x4)
 
Forgive me, Forgive me mother
 

Little is needed for happiness

Versions: #2
Tonight the thick darkness
has covered the passion in us
and the last seed of hope
everything has disappeared
 
Each in their own world
we were cleverly hiding
let the heavens judge us
we were selfish you and I
 
Chorus:
Little is needed for happiness
and yet we are always lacking something
that little that we do need
we haven't given to each other
 
Little is needed for happiness
but we didn't know that
and this gift from the heavens
we have tried everything
 
Tonight there is only restlessness
endless as the universe
and there is nothing more
everything has fallen apart
 
Each
Each in their own world
we were cleverly hiding
let it be so
we were selfish you and I
 
Chorus x2
 

Message to My Beloved

My moon, go
Light up her thoughts
Tell her
That I can't live without her

Only One Path/The Only Way

Why is the blue so dark today and why is the sun beating on my back?
 
Why do tears cover my cheeks and why is everything so dry around me?
 
Why is a bird singing somewhere and there is no one to see and hear?
 
Why does the stream flow so far away leaving wilderness behind it?
 
Because there isn’t only one path in the world
 
Because there are no principles in the world
 
Because we are running towards tomorrow
 
And we do not have solutions
 
Why is the dog on its four legs and why does no one understand it’s language?
 
Why is an owl only awake at night and why does no one know it’s path?
 
Why does a man build his own house and not the house of his friends?
 
Why am I myself, myself, myself and you are on your own from now on?
 
Because there isn’t only one path in the world
 
Because there are no principles in the world
 
Because we are running towards tomorrow
 
And we do not have solutions
 

I Break With The Memories

Too much time
(Spent) running from who I really am.
It's such a great torment
Not being able to do what you want to do.
 
Goddamned present!
It chokes me, it makes me feel such grief.
It's destroying my dream,
Preventing me from flying.
 
[Chorus:]
I break with the memories
That always force me to revisit fear,
To face that
Little girl filled with so much kindness.
 
I'm fleeing the terror
Of knowing that I've been lost in the dark
And, now, that sweet little girl
Has truly disappeared...
 
Hateful story
That won't let me move on.
I will attain glory:
That's for sure, you shall see.
 
I will fight with euphoria,
I will melt the ice
That gathers on the ground:
I will look for a new tomorrow!
 
[Chorus:]
I break with the memories
That always force me to revisit fear,
To face that
Little girl filled with so much kindness.
 
I'm fleeing the terror
Of knowing that I've been lost in the dark
And, now, that sweet little girl
Has truly disappeared...
 
I will never stop fighting...
I will never cease to move forward...
I know that the road is very difficult
But now, no one will be able to stop me!
 
[Chorus:]
I break with the memories
That always force me to revisit fear,
To face that
Little girl filled with so much kindness.
 
I'm fleeing the terror
Of knowing that I've been lost in the dark
And, now, that sweet little girl
Has truly disappeared...
 

Memories of Ypacaraí

The song's translation is already done:

 
and:

 

So what if the time is going?

I know that you usually think
that it ain't easy
when you find yourself so far
on the road of the years.
Don't look on what was before
just raise your fore so high
You got spring in your soul
and that is enough!...
 
So what if the time is going?
So what?
I say just 'It's ok'
and 'let it go'
So what if the autumn is coming?
I don't care.
You can make your life
more beautiful anytime.
 
Don't turn your eyes
don't live of memories
when you got so many dreams
that wait to be fulfilled.
Don't look back on the road
to see how long it is
there's time for everything
there's enough time...
 
So what if the time is going?
So what?
I say just 'It's ok'
and 'let it go'
So what if the autumn is coming?
I don't care.
You can make your life
more beautiful anytime.
 
So what if the time is going?
So what?
I say just 'It's ok'
and 'let it go'
So what if the autumn is coming?
I don't care.
You can make your life
more beautiful anytime.
So what if the time is going?
So what?
 

I Remember

Grizabella:
Moon, look at the shine of the moon
illuminate the memory, illuminate it already
If there you find the
essence of happiness
another life will be born
 
I wander alone with the memory
of my beautiful face,
of a splendid yesterday,
let the memory of my happiness
now be reborn
 
Remainders of the foggy yesterday
lose themselves with the gloom
of every dying light, the day
arises and another sun lights up
 
Day, I need to see the dawn
start another life, I shouldn't surrender
tonight will be a memory at dawn
the day remains to live
 
Silabub:
From a dense forest, all the sun
is an eternal twilight
 
Grizabella & Silabub:
Like a flower when day breaks
 
Grizabelle:
If my memory dies
 
Touch, just touch my face
We'll live united,
my memory and I
when you touch me you'll know happiness,
see the day begin
 

I want

I want you to melt on my body
my kiss is salty, a tattoo on the lips
To spread oil on my chocolate body color
a body without a swimsuit, lying on the sand
 
You've been staring at me for so long, but it's obvious that you hesitate
you're looking for my signal to come closer
Come on, drink from my drink, I'll tell you my secret
and all those that you may want, I'll want them double
 
I want you to melt on my body
my kiss is salty, a tattoo on the lips
To spread oil on my chocolate body color
a body without a swimsuit, lying on the sand
 
I want to nestle in your dream
make a signal and I'm yours
I want to feel you like a caress on my body
and till the sunrise to be mine
 
I want to nestle in your dream
i'm dancing to your rhythm all day long
I want to give you everything you asked me for
everything you want, you'll live them here
 
Sun, oil, sea and salt
without a swimsuit it'll be the best party of all
Only you and me in the beach
all night long I'll give you immunity*
 
Sun, oil, sea and salt
If you go to Saint Dominigue* I'll burn the map
'Cause I want you here like a sin
to say to me...
 
I want you to melt on my body
my kiss is salty, a tattoo on the lips
To spread oil on my chocolate body color
a body without a swimsuit, lying on the sand
 
See, two naked bodies
on the seaside are on fire
See the heaven on earth
this island is ours and there's no place for another
 
I want you to melt on my body
my kiss is salty, a tattoo on the lips
To spread oil on my chocolate body color
a body without a swimsuit, lying on the sand(x2)
 

Recitalis Interruptus

The recital was about to begin.
The attendant was placing the tips in his pockets.
The lights of the hall went off
and from the stage went on.
The audience applauded.
Alex Estragón made his appearence and saluted the audience
with a graceful bow.
Then he sat at the piano and began
with the 2nd prelude of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier.
It was the first piece appearing in the leaflet
but the spectators haven't gathered
at the hall by the repertoire but for
the hight hierarchy of the player
and his international prestige.
While he was playing, it started to seem for Estragón
that there was some kind of murmur among the audience,
and didn't understand what was going on.
He imagined that maybe they sold
more tickets than what the hall capacity allowed
because he thought he heard protests.
He also thought that maybe the air conditioning was broken
and that the disturbance was for that.
He tried to focus in the music and not pay attention.
But when he began with Chopin's Heroic Polonaise,
which had more silences between some chords,
he could hear clearly that a spectator
was shouting form the stalls: 'Hey. My niece plays that.'
The pianist ignored the comment and continued,
but an old woman said: 'Yeah. My granddaughter too.
At first I didn't recognized it, but she plays this piece.'
'And how does she plays it?' Asked the one in the next seat.
'Way better than this man.' she said.
'She plays it more paused, calmer.'
'Yeah, this man is histeric' said many.
'Besides anybody can play this' said another.
'Yeah. I have the CD' said a guy.
'If I knew he would play this, I wouldn't come.
I'd stay quiet at home,
listening the CD and watching TV.'
Estragón, nervous and embarrassed, went out of scene
and asked his manager what the fuck was going on.
'Well Alex' answered the saddened manager.
'You're gonna have to change the rubric.
People don't want covers.'

I speak every language of the world

'Twas up North, in Scotland, where I met an old man
I thought he was lost, so I offered to help
He just shook his grey hair, he wasn't missing anything
I sat down with him on the grass and he told me:
 
'I speak every language of the world
For music is my language
This song is my passport
And my good spirits are my currency
The sun is my watch, the leaves are my calendar
I own every flower and the dust on the streets
I speak every language of the world
That's all that counts in my life'
 
The following year, down South, there was a house in the shadows
I asked for a bit of water and the old man stepped outside
I was surprised and asked, 'How come you're around?'
And the old man said, 'During summer, I'm by the sea'
 
'I speak every language of the world
For music is my language
This song is my passport
And my good spirits are my currency
The sun is my watch, the leaves are my calendar
I own every flower and the dust on the streets
I speak every language of the world
That's all that counts in my life'
 
Years later in the mountains, I came upon a grave
Someone who wanted to climb up to the summit, he never came back down
I could hardly decipher what the epitaph said:
'Music was my language,' yes, and I knew his song
 
'I speak every language of the world
For music is my language
This song is my passport
And my good spirits are my currency
The sun is my watch, the leaves are my calendar
I own every flower and the dust on the streets
I speak every language of the world
That's all that counts in my life
I speak every language of the world
That's all that counts in my life'

And you believe it

A little taut silk is enough
A smile in the corner of the mouth that kills
And you believe it
 
All the rivers are in flood
All the winters have been conquered
Suffering has disappeared
 
And you believe it
 
It grips the mouth, it grips the nose,
The hands, the heart, and the mind’s ideas
And you are trapped
 
A little cream in the coffee
Like a smell which you have captured
 
And you believe it
And you believe it
 
It can wipe the nose with fingers
Tell you anything often
And you believe it
 
It’s not the devil, it’s not the Almighty
It gives, it takes, it makes you happy
When you believe it
 
It’s not the day, it’s not the night
It bites sometimes when it smiles
 
And you believe it
It’s love, you believe it.
 

The Right One

Let me tell you, I feel in love
and I feel that this time she is the Right One...
I'm telling you... to me she is perfect -
all her flaws and sins included.
 
I know that I have been wrong about the ones before,
I know that I have despised everything and I have lost hope
but even though I carry burdens of the past,
when she is by my side the scales are balanced
and nothing wears me out...
 
I don't even think of taking a single step back
on the path that takes me to your kisses,
I don't think about that, I confess that
today I risk it all without looking back.
 
If you leave, you'll be back
because destiny truly knows what is best
and there will be no pretexts of where nor when,
only new ways of how to love.
 
Let me tell you, I feel excited
and now I can't stop thinking about her,
I'm telling you, I have spent my whole life
looking for what I have finally found.
 
I know that I have been wrong about the ones before,
I know that I have despised everything and I have lost hope
but even though I carry burdens of the past,
when she is by my side the scales are balanced
and nothing wears me out...
 
I don't even think of taking a single step back
on the path that takes me to your kisses,
I don't think about that, I confess that
today I risk it all without looking back.
 
If you leave, you'll be back
because destiny truly knows what is best
and there will be no pretexts of where nor when,
only new ways of how to love.
 
If you leave...
 
You would be guilty of wasting the kisses that I wont be able to give you )*
(If you leave, if you leave)
I would have been a king who is now a mere soldier
(If you leave, if you leave)
It will be because my luck condemned me to lose you
and tore you away from me
(If you leave, if you leave)
You would be the one who's right and I'd be the one who's wrong.
 
If you leave...
 
I don't even think of taking a single step back
on the path that takes me to your kisses,
I don't think about that, I confess that
today I risk it all without looking back.
 
If you leave, you'll be back
because destiny truly knows what is best
and there will be no pretexts of where nor when,
only new ways of how to love.
 
Let me tell you, I fell in love
and I feel that this time she is the Right One...
 

Recipe for Making the Colour Blue

If you wish to make the colour blue
take a piece of sky and put it in a pot
large enough to place on the flame of the horizon.
Stir into the blue a pinch of early morning red
until it dissolves. Pour everything
into a brass bowl that has been well washed
to eliminate all of the afternoon’s impurities.
Finally, sift in a few smidgens of gold from the sand
of midday until the colour adheres to the bottom of the bowl.
To prevent the colours from separating with time,
drop a charred peach pit into the liquid.
It will disintegrate, leaving no telltale
sign, not even – from the black ash – an ochre trace
on the golden surface. You may then raise the colour
to eye level and compare it with genuine blue.
The two colours will look so alike
that you cannot distinguish one from the other.
This was how I did it – I, Abraham ben Judah Ibn Haim,
illuminator from the town of Loulé. And I left the recipe
for whoever, one day, would imitate the sky.
 

I need you

exhausted, I see life passing by
I'm tired of waiting for my place in the sun
time make promises and I go
I hang around, I know, because you are missing
 
because everybody needs somebody
and I need you
to walk with me and to understand me
I need you
to go on and not lose myself
understand, you shall know
without a motivation it's hard to live
life taught me to want
only one reason and I must tell you
 
because everybody needs somebody
and I need you
to walk with me and to understand me
I need you
to go on and not lose myself
 
because everybody needs somebody
and I need you
to walk with me and to understand me
I need you
to go on and not lose myself
 

People Are Meeting

Versions: #2
People are meeting
People are dating
And marrying
I am not lucky with that to a point of disaster
Finally yesterday night I saw me one special girl
Right over there where the trains
Are running so fast
 
There she went into her car
Smiled so sweetly from afar
The train took off and I just froze
Only waved with my hand in response
 
Long pretty hair neatly arranged in the ponytails
Eyes hot as Summer
A smile as sweet as champagne
Slender and young striking and gorgeous and charming girl
May be somewhere over here I'll see her again
 
There she went into her car
Smiled so sweetly from afar
The train took off and I just froze
Only waved with my hand in response
 
People are meeting
People are dating
And marrying
I am not lucky with that to a point of disaster
 
To a point of disaster
To a point of disaster
To a point of disaster

Happy Woman

When they hear my footsteps
They open the door for me
And offer me a hand like to a woman
While I am waiting there for you
They send me a rose
And the crystal is foaming
 
No, this is not a dream
Uu, look I am a happy woman
Everything I want
Everything is here right now
 
And when they
Send me off in midnight
And call a taxi for me
They ask me where are you
 
Hey happy, happy, I am a happy woman
I am loved and I am in love
Everything is working for me
Oh, where are you, you're not here
 
When I think that I can do everything
You say to me that I cannot
If I want to come I can't
And everything is collapsing
I am loosing the ground under my feet
You are everything I cannot.
 
No, no, this is not a dream
Uu, look I am a happy woman
Everything I want
Everything is here now
And I cannot do it
Why I can't do it?
 
When a
Present is waiting for me at home
Beside it is a message
That I should go and sleep and I shouldn't wait for you
 
Hey happy, happy, I am a happy woman
I am loved and I am in love
Everything is working for me
Oh, where are you, you're not here
 
When I think that I can do everything
You say to me that I cannot
If I want to come I can't
And everything is collapsing
I am loosing the ground under my feet
You are everything I cannot.
 
No, no, this is not a dream
Uu, look I am a happy woman
Everything I want
Everything is here now
 
And I cannot do it 6x
 
When I think that I can do everything
You say to me that I cannot
If I want to come I can't
And everything is collapsing
I am loosing the ground under my feet
You are everything I cannot.
 
No, no, this is not a dream
Uu, look I am a happy woman
Everything I want
Everything is here now
And I cannot do it...
 

Pinstripes and Missiles

A hole in my shoe
where the world leaks in
Yeah, life is hard
It's biting my skin
 
You and I,
we're getting by
 
If I fade out
like a star,
then you are there
to ignite me again
 
You and I
You and I
 
Pinstripes and missiles
keep the dreams in check
Empty words and bitter faces
We have to be on our guard
 
You steer and intervene
in our lives
You take our money
and steal our time
 
You and I
You and I
 
Pinstripes and missiles
keep the dreams in check
Empty words and bitter faces
We have to be on our guard
 
You and I
You and I
You and I
You and I
You and I
You and I
 

Happiness

Versions: #2
Happiness, I don't know what it is
I only know of pain
Since the very beginning
 
Happiness, be burned by a lightning
She surrendered without a fired bullet
 
Refrain:
Guitar play tonight
Something entirely new
So it looks like old
Wash the face of a beautiful girl
Break the strings (and) picks
That's all the life is worth
When a young man goes gray in one night
 
It's time for me to take a bow
All these gifts now go to someone other
The burden I was carrying
Even if they begged I wouldn't give to anyone
 
Refrain
 
I'm melting little by little
Almost half of me is gone
I'm / I've been melting like a snow on the sun
From the moment she's gone
 
Refrain x2
 

Angel of happiness

Dear God I've been asking for wings for a long time
why are you allowing me to kill myself slowly
when my heart stops let her tears roll
at least then let her think of me
 
(Chorus)
I don't want a friend, I don't want a brother
I don't want my piece of heaven
her hands around my neck
that's the only thing I need tonight
 
Oooh take me God
so I can be her angel of happiness
oooh my faith
my love, my life
 
Dear God let me see her eyes
just once then forget about me
I don't have any other dreams, I don't have any other wishes
each new love is forever hers
 
(Chorus 2x)
I don't want a friend, I don't want a brother
I don't want my piece of heaven
her hands around my neck
that's the only thing I need tonight
 
Oooh take me God
so I can be her angel of happiness
oooh my faith
my love, my life
 

I Must Become Less

I no longer fit into a house
Where the space is all mine
It's not deeds that will save me
Growing is all I know
But growing is all I know
 
I sleep with the window open
Got my arms on the clothes line
I could wave at you
But growing is all I know
Growing is all I know
 
I read the top of the shelf
It's all books that fatten
And I have to abbreviate myself
But growing is all I know
Growing is all I know
 
Any palm that measures me
Is from a hand with no scar
What I am, is large in bones
For growing is all I know
Growing is all I know
 
I can only fit myself here, inside
But I hit my own chest
For having my air rarefied
I begin the speech
Mentioning the subject
First person is a precept
 
Not even here, inside, I can fit
But I hit my head on the ceiling
And fall on the bystreet
I already shut the speech
Because the tongue trips
But gigantism muffles
 
I invent virtues already
On the peak I don't sin
Down there I had a hunchback
I'm so obsessed with myself
That I shoot at the gigantic
Doll barred in the alley
 
I don't know how to invent myself anymore
It's just more of the same
Yeast in autism dough
I'm not even amazed at myself anymore
There is sea and stagnation
There is going and returning aphorism
 
Growing is all I know
But growing is all I know
 

Elm Square

Back in '39, that year
people started to wage war.
As for me, I was too little, I couldn't understand
what war was.
 
I watched the flowers and the water in the river,
or I played hide-and-seek on Elm Square.
On Elm Square.
There were no more celebrations, no more sunday dances,
only a few elderly were left on Elm Square.
On Elm Square.
We listened to the in secret, behind
the shadow of our curtains
while .
And then, at last
the year '45 came.
 
Back in '45, that year
people were ending the war.
As for me, I had grown up, still I couldn't understand
why people wage wars.
 
I watched the flowers and the water in the river,
boys kissed me on Elm Square.
On Elm Square.
There were balls everywhere, lots of sunday dances.
Mariages were celebrated on Elm Square.
On Elm Square.
We basked in the sun, we got drunk on sunlight,
we drew the curtains
while Europe was sorted into several parts.
The war was over.
And, all the same, since then
 
Since then, all that while
people keep on waging wars.
As for me, I'm an adult now, and I still can't understand
why people wage wars
 
while there are flowers, birds, rivers
and children loving one another on Elm Square.
The weather is nice today.
It is today, but could it be that tomorrow on Earth
a paradise would die and elude us,
elude us forever and ever?
No more children in the sun, no more peace on Earth.
No more flowers, no more birds.
But that's couldn't happen, the weather is so nice
today, so nice
on Elm Square.
So nice...

Departure

I wanna go to the farthest place
I wonder what kind of people I can meet over there
I wanna go to the highest point
I wonder the place I can see beyond
 
One small water bottle, a dusty camera,
A stained map being put into my bag
 
Over the hill and through the forest path
While I touch the ground with my light steps
I walk along the endless path slowly
 
I sit down without any thoughts as well as I take a break
Even thought I am lost it is important that I don't rush
Someday I will figure it out
As this path teaches me eventually
 
The wet ground, the footprints in front of me
The sky I see for the first time, but the same old path
 
Over the hill and through the forest path
While I touch the ground with my light steps
I walk along the endless path slowly
 
My heart becomes excited from seeing a new scenery
I act extravagantly from something trivial
I walk while whistling
I walk along the path even though I trip over occasionally
 
One small water bottle, a dusty camera,
A stained map being put into my bag
 
Over the hill and through the forest path
While I touch the ground with my light steps
I walk along the endless path slowly
 
The road that I'm familiar since childhood
I sometimes do yearn for it
So I'm off for a journey, for the wider world
 

Dissapeared

Dissapeared in action
people call and can't find the man
it doesn't matter when you'll come but if you are fine.
 
Things change on the skin
we protected ourselves a lot and safe
the fuse is already lit, keep yourself alive.
 
What is this, what's going on here
people are taking shelter
they can't find more places to hide
 
You could be chosen
you could open the magna carta
now you close the windows, your Adam's apple trembles
 
Did you see? the river is on fire
all the streets are blocked
and now that you're alone start to run

Whatever we deserve

I'm searching for a lost cause
to reach your heart
I'm searching for a lost cause
And my tears sing
this song for me
 
Because you are a rose with thorns
that scratches in any season
Because you are the most beautiful thing in the world
Yeah, I gave you a reason
 
You don't want to look at me, but you do look
One day you want to play and another one you don't
You want to love me in secret
and I can't take staring at the clock any longer
 
I can't let this go on anymore
not one more second of sharing your mouth
I'm imagining him contemplating the miracle
of seeing you without clothes
 
You can love me as is
Or you can settle for less
Whatever you decide will be
Whatever we deserve
 
A dead end street
with a button to push for a view )*
of this lunar eclipse
I pressed 'the Earth' and he pressed 'the Sun'
 
Because you are a rose with thorns
that scratches in any season
Because you are the most beautiful thing in the world
Yeah, I gave you a reason
 
You don't want to look at me, but you do look
One day you want to play and another one you don't
You want to love me in secret
and I can't take staring at the clock any longer
 
I can't let this go on anymore
not one more second of sharing your mouth
I'm imagining him contemplating the miracle
of seeing you without clothes
 
You can love me as is
Or you can settle for less
Whatever you decide will be
Whatever we deserve
 
You don't want to look at me, but you do look
One day you want to play and another one you don't
You want to love me in secret
and I can't take staring at the clock any longer
 
I can't let this go on anymore
not one more second of sharing your mouth
I'm imagining him contemplating the miracle
of seeing you without clothes
 
You can love me as is
Or you can settle for less
Whatever you decide will be
Whatever we deserve
 
You can love me as is
Or you can settle for less
Whatever you decide will be
Whatever we deserve
 

You of all people

You are the last thing I needed for my happiness
(Listen up, listen up)
You of all people (yes you)
You of all people (yes you)
 
I had imagined things in a completly different way
(Listen up, listen up)
But then you came (yes you)
You of all people (yes you)
 
And nevertheless I always dream
Of you day and night
You have conned me out of my
Last bit of reason
 
You are the last thing I needed for my happiness
(Listen up, listen up)
You of all people (yes you)
You of all people (yes you)
 
(Instrumental)
 
I don't know my stuff any more
Just what is going on? (Just what is going on?)
I don't know what
I only know one thing
Something is happening here (Something is happening here)
If I really think about it
I am quite afraid (Well?)
That you have taken posession of me (Oh my)
 

Hands up

Via the trackway rode the carriage, in the carriage sat a sir,
(The carriage was riding) On the local estates (that) neighbor the castle
Once his nap was cut, he was woken with a wild scream,
The driver laid dead, robbers were shouting
 
Because of the robbers, the carriage stood on the trackway, plundered
The sir (man) did not want to give up gold, they put him in shackles,
They took the gold, the carriage, and the horses and continued saying,
That this happened because the sir didn't give up after kindness,
 
Hands up, give all the gold that you carry with yourself,
Hands up, without force or violence [x2]
 
And some time passed, the trackway emptied,
And, while walking, only one villager saw the robbers again
He became scared and hid, but they got him as well
They took two grosze (~cent) and with a stick, broke his nape
 
An elegant man walked to a nearby gord
His parents told him to do something with his life
While walking the trackway, musing about the future,
They suddenly got him, (and) sacked him with no mercy
 
Hands up, give all the gold that you carry with yourself,
Hands up, without force or violence [x2]
 
Long years passed and the trackway no longer exists,
In this same spot runs a road,
And, although they are dressed better, the robbers continue
To wait for a victim to sack insolently,
Heya ho...
 
How work is, the pay is, when you go for due (?)
And the elegant robbers show you by pointing with a finger,
You hear - this is not an exaggeration, here with us there is no jokes,
Our leader sent us to you to clear you of your earnings
 
Hands up, give all the gold that you carry with yourself,
Hands up, without force or violence [x2]
 
Hands up, give all the gold that you carry with yourself,
Hands up, give it up...
 

A poem

There are many words, many words,
and in the middle is one,
no one so lonely as this,
no other, no other.
Like fieldfare flies to Karst in light flow in autumn time,
in forest, behind pines
she fitts to lonely world.
Hunters shoots are resounding through the forest,
look, they shoot her down.
For what did you came, the thought, to Karst in this gloomy autumn time?
The shoots get lost in the distance..
 

Everyone is looking down on others

[First verse: Sokół]
Marysia was in bit of a shock. Proud as a peacock.
Quite curvaceous, smart. Girlfriend material.
She wanted to chill out and went for a pizza
somewhere in north Śródmieście area.
She was writing him a text.
She thought to herself that she feels kinda like
the first time she gave a paper downloaded from the internet for checking.
But this time the excitement was bigger.
Today she cheated on Rysiek for the first time.
She felt better than him and that she deserves better.
Ryszard – cabbie working on a freelance basis.
He met Marysia three years ago during holidays.
Apart from cuckolding him today she also has her master’s defense.
She’s super nervous so she’s stuffing herself with double pepperoni.
Although she usually watches her figure, this time she doesn’t give a fuck.
Now few words about him. Rysio – taxi driver.
Similarities with ” Klan” are coincidental. (Polish soap opera in which there was a
character named Rysio/Ryszard who was also a taxi driver)
He’s overcharging his client, using Rate 4.
She’s pissing him off cause she smells of greengrocer’s.
He’s looking over his shoulder to check if she’s not leaving any dirt on the back seat.
Meanwhile Janina, that’s the name of the hag,
is thinking about the dubious lout who’s driving the cab.
This is the last time she’s catching a taxi on the street.
She doesn’t do it too often. She spends most of her time
at her son-in-law’s fruit and vegetable shop.
But he’s not in today and hoodlums with knives showed up again.
Janina cannot take it anymore.
And even though he forbade her to report this to the police,
cause it may only make things worse,
she closes the shop, put the takings in an envelope, catches a taxi
and heads to the police station.
 
[Chorus: Sokół]
Everyone is looking down on others – sons of bitches!
Treating another person as if he/she was nothing.
Everyone is the smartest – fuckers – they think they’re special.
Everyone, unfortunately…
Words fail me when I see such attitude.
 
[Second verse: Sokół]
Some time ago a guy named Grzegorz
left his village and moved to the capital city in search for a better life.
He knows a guy from his county who works in a pizza parlour since ’99.
The dude’s name is Karol. He’s in the “dough business”.
Grzegorz decided to try his hand at catering himself.
He got out at Warsaw East Station.
Happy that he didn’t pay for the ticket.
He spent the trip in the toilet and smelled of shit afterwards.
His legs were a bit numb but who gives a fuck, right?
He was happy that he saved a few quid. Please…
A bit confused Grzegorz was askin’ people about the way to the pizza parlour,
when all of a sudden he was approached by patrolmen.
He starts to explain that he’s on his way to see a friend.
He looked like an ordinary guy
but had a brown sweater and violet sweatpants on him.
He matched the description perfectly.
He was cursing, apologizing, jawing away.
Later that day. Ms Janina closes the door of Rysio’s cab.
” What a thief ” she’s thinking to herself.
“POLICE” sign. She enters the bulding, testifies.
Line-ups are usually a fuckin’ joke.
They’re just rounding up whoever.
And even though there are few young men standing in front of her
she’s certain that it’s the guy in violet sweatpants and brown sweater.
Grześ is completely stunned, copper strokes his moustache.
He holds them both in contempt.
Grześ is like, but I just got here!
But he dodged the fare and screwed himself over.
And that’s that.
 
[Chorus: Sokół]
 
[Third verse: Sokół]
Unsuspecting Karol made few pizzas.
He wasn’t aware that Grześ was on his way to see him.
As usual, clients came to eat.
Sometime around 2 p.m. friend of his came up with a dope ass idea.
To put LSD in pepperoni.
Someone will eat it unconsciously.
Who is who?
Check this out.
The very same Marysia, cabbie’s girlfriend, ate the pizza.
And as you can imagine the exam she’s about to take may not go well.
She thought that the pizzeria’s employees were checking her out
cause she’s the most beautiful chick in the neighbourhood.
I, being the storyteller, wished that they knew she was just
about to have her master’s defense. They would be laughing their asses off.
But they’ve witnessed her first acid trip.
Sweat drops on her forehead were shining like diamonds.
Karol and his crew are having a blast. She’s euphoric. For now.
Believe me when I say she was ultra-shocked.
She reached the pith and core of the subject matter.
She decided to share it with her examiners.
Sunday victims and torturers.
Everyone looks down on others – everyone’s the smartest.
Old Janina is sitting in a rocking chair, thinking about Grześ.
“Why I’ve done this?”
She wasn’t hundred percent sure, but pointed her finger at him.
Today she had the upper hand in this unfair fight.
To her all these young, bald men are the same. Scum!
She really thinks that way.
Karol finished work around that time.
He was laughing about the prank he played on the girl.
Then all of a sudden – flashback.
And even though he hasn’t seen Grześ for ages
I could swear he started recollecting his homeland.
He was standing there for awhile, looking abashed.
Here’s what went down.
Beer-house. Evening time.
Local birds. Karol and Grześ are sitting by the table.
Grzegorz peed in a mug and Karol drank it unconsciously.
Some fuckin’ prank.
And…back to reality. Bus stop near the pizzeria.
Karol, few lads and hidden pain.
Ryszard – the cabbie is eating French bread pizza
from a food stand situated near the Palace of Culture and Science.
Neoplan stopped nearby.
Two female tourists got out. They look quite young.
Rysiu turns his head and start checkin’ them out.
Both got nice legs, decent size breasts and cute face.
He would fuck them both hard
He took a last bite
and glanced at a guy in “PROSTO” sweatshirt
as the bloke was getting into a cab.
“Where to?” he asked
and lets finish the story here.
 

Shouldn't I have expected it?

Shouldn't I have expected it?
Ever since the party where you were laughing
And paying me compliments?
While at the same time she had no idea
And was making her way through various friends
Shouting towards all of them that you were great
That you were loving and faithful
And how much she liked your charm?
While I ways lying down in your arms
And you were telling my many nice things
And you were complaining about her?
 
Shouldn't I have expected it?
The way you're squirming now
Feeling nothing but sympathy
And then, while you're drinking far too much
You're breaking to me in sweet words
That you're not not the man for me
And that my pain will fade
That I'm far too good for you
That you now, how I feel
And that we should stay friends
And that we should write each other once in a while?
 
Shouldn't I have expected
That it would end one day?
Was I really blind enough
To believe that I knew you
And that nobody could separate us?
Have I lost my mind?
Why can't I still believe it
Neither believe it, nor understand it?
It was foreseeable
Which ever way you look at it :
 
It was my fault
It was my fault
It was my fault
It was my fault
 

Brod za brodolom

Versions: #2
Ne diraj pilule za spavanje,
prave mi nered u glavi
hrane Velike Bele Ajkule
što plivaju mi u postelji.
 
A evo ga i Kit Ubica
da me pesmom uspava,
skida pokrivače
i drži me u zubima.
 
I oh, podseti me ljubavi,
šta sam to beše rekla?
Ne mogu da se ne prekrijem zemljom
da bih se skrasila.
I oh, podseti me ljubavi,
Šta sam to beše uradila?
Da li sam mnogo pila?
i dodir izgubila?
Da li sam gradila brod
da doživim brodolom?
 
Brodolom, brodolom, brodolom
Da li sam gradila brod da doživim brodolom?
 
I čemu to tužno lice?
Da l’ možda hoceš još?
Hiljade besnih miševa
grebu pred vratima.
 
I ne daj da te zavesa stigne
jer već bio si tu.
Stolica je ostrvo dragi,
ne možeš da dotakneš tlo.
 
I oh, podseti me ljubavi,
šta sam to beše rekla?
Ne mogu da se ne prekrijem zemljom
da bih se skrasila.
I oh, podseti me ljubavi,
Šta sam to beše uradila?
Da li sam mnogo pila?
i dodir izgubila?
Da li sam gradila brod
da doživim brodolom?
 
Brodolom, brodolom, brodolom
Da li sam gradila brod da doživim brodolom?
 
Dragi Bože, pod nebom bez zvezda smo izgubljeni
U ovu pukotinu smo bačeni
I voda nadire brzo!
 
I oh, podseti me ljubavi,
šta sam to beše rekla?
Ne mogu da se ne prekrijem zemljom
da bih se skrasila.
I oh, podseti me ljubavi,
Šta sam to beše uradila?
Da li sam mnogo pila?
i dodir izgubila?
Da li sam gradila brod
da doživim brodolom?
 
Brodolom, brodolom, brodolom
Da li sam gradila brod da doživim brodolom?
