out of place

read my hand and you will understand who i am
the life is a prison from which you can not save me
I understood that people have a thousand nuances
Which is always the person you care about that disappoints you
I know people like you who suffer in silence
They are the same ones that cry inside
But the more you cry inside with the passage of time
Sooner or later the tears will drown you
There is no one here who thinks of me
Sorry if I'm not what you wanted
The truth is that I often never feel enough
Today I'm worse than tomorrow but better than yesterday
You can change your future but not what you were
You can change me, but you can not change my thoughts
You can do my own scars
But you will never be able to experience what problems i went through
 
you can change life
you can change the city
But everywhere we go we are always out of place
We are fragments of a photo that I have torn in half
The sky is the frame in a memory out of focus
No one will ever be able to save you from yourself
 
day per day the past devours me
i hope that the time will cancel my memories
a real artist destined being unhappy for the whole life and remaining a lonely person
Anxiety is the epicenter
my problems eat me inside
but many still believe that
it is a clichè
I could talk about money and drugs outside the box, but in the end what would you do with me?
I'm hurt
Released from the factory with a brain defect
I often do not recognize myself
What would you need to go to change your life? If I go anywhere, I always feel out of place
You will no longer be able to do without what you hate
We lie to ourselves to feel better
We are destined to be invisible, already
We were born only to feel alone
 
you can change life
you can change the city
But everywhere we go we are always out of place
We are fragments of a photo that I have torn in half
The sky is the frame in a memory out of focus
No one will ever be able to save you from yourself
 

Behind the Rainbow

Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high,
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.
 
At once, behind the rainbow
You're there
The rain is melting in the sun
And I've the beating heart
 
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me,
Where troubles melt like lemon drops.
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.
 
Elsewhere, behind the rainbow
The sky is blue
The dreams we're creating for us both
Promise joyful days.
 
One day I'll follow your star
And I'll reach for higher than me
The ideal
In that land higher than everything
The sun is at [its] encounter
An Eden made for us
 
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly,
Eddie Mitchell
The rain melts in the sun
And I've the beating heart
Melody Gardot
Why oh why can't I?
Eddy Mitchell
And I've the beating heart
Melody Gardot
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
 
Why oh why can't I?
 

I love you

Once again the void of minutes towards me whirls...
Sadness in my heart your absence tolls.
I tried to simply wait, but time doesn't heal me,
And thoughts carry away touching beloved lips.
 
[Refrain]
Day after day I catch sunrises,
And you are in each little ray of the sun.
Can't exist without you, please forgive me
I am only moved by you.
 
To imagine this wonder isn't easy
And even exhale leaves me dizzy
From the gained height.
I feel it, do you?
 
I love you so tenderly...
I love you so tenderly...
You will always remain with me, like a star...
You...
 
To have seen you then - it was worth this life.
In the quiet word 'yes' forever we're hidden inside.
I am happy - just a thought is sufficient for you and me
That you are and always will be with me.
 

Over The Rainbow

We lay as we watched the same sky
that day, that cloud, as if it had nothing to do with us
our first meeting was very brief
over the fence, only the sound of us hating each other
 
How was today?
will you tell me?
I want to hear it
 
Even if we are far away we saw the same dream
Even if you are not next to me you are warmer than the nostalgia
even now you will be looking at the sky,right?
there, that cloud, as if it has nothing to do with me
 
How was today?
will you tell me?
am I a cloud?
 
Looking at my empty hands, the scent I felt from you
wraps around me, spins me
stop telling me that every day will get better
I hate listening to it
 
How was today?
will you tell me?
what are you doing tomorrow?
 
Stars fall
I see you

Flatline

I want to walk with you to a far away place
to the other side of the horizon.
I want to walk to you
even if it turns out there’s nothing there.
 
I’m crumbling before a kind and gentle world all by myself.
I held you in my arms, but you slip between my finger tips
It’s a desolate, horizontal FLATLINE.
I prepared myself for my journey up ahead
 
Lalala
It becomes a little easier to walk
I’ll drip drop but I’ll crush it so
it melts and collapses
 
Earth, Wind, Stars, and Soul
all disappear into a FLATLINE.
I want to walk with you to a far away place
But if that dream came true…
 
Lalala
It becomes a little easier to walk
If I can finally get the END CREDITS to ROLL i might
collaspe while laughing
 
Lalala
It becomes a little easier to walk
Lalala
 

Love Me, Dear

If I were without you, I would have to die,
[Because] a meaningless life really has to expire.
My love [for you] is still attached [to me],
I only love you and nobody else.
 
[I wish I could] give you my love forever,
For [your] whole life and you would never give it to anybody else.
Even though I know that I am old
And it might be wrong to hope if I'm so unlucky.
 
I pray to god
And ask him to help me and to be compassionate.
Even though my life will perish
I ask for fortune so that my dream can come true.
 
I just beg you to love me,
Only for one day and I would do anything [in return].
I promise that my love is nothing but true
I would never forsake it, so that it can be [my] dream.
 

From the north

The north wind blows
And we come from the north
The way spreads toward the sun
Our snow clothes melts
 
Joyful flocks of birds fly
Listen, spring will come soon
It's time to send coats, fur caps
And mittens into exile
 
We'll get ourselves
And will give back what will be given to us
But we'll go home
Where the north wind blows
 

This is Not Your War

The battle's at dawn - the sun and smoke...
Few do know, what will happen to him?...
Or what will be tomorrow? - In youthful thoughts -
Who has hope, or who has fear...
 
Chorus:
The branches of all the Kalyn' bend down low...
O mother, to whom you have prayed?
How many more will she take
Of your children this is not your war?...
 
Your sons and daughters became parents,
They saw all their dreams in color
And had kissed the hands of lies,
For quiet nights they gave up their days...
 
Chorus.
 
It was once good there and at one time,
There, was no sweat and where, tears were not,
Only in that there was no goal -
I can't be that way, and how can you?...
 
The branches of all the Kalyn' bend down low...
O mother, not to them have we prayed!...
How many more will she take
Of your children this is not your war?...
 
Chorus:
 
How many more will she take
Of your children this is not your war?...
 

I Sit Beside The Window

I sit beside the window's edge
I sit beside the window's edge
I sit beside the window's edge,
Looking upon the stars,
I sit beside the window's edge,
And I think to myself thus.
 
Will you come on by my dear, or not,
I dream of you so often?...
I come nearer to the window's edge,
And you stand there smiling.
 
Love - loving, is like the flower,
Which blooms there in the morning,
Like that butterfly in the spring
Flying up there oh so high.
 
So do you guard your dear hearts,
That you don't love too early,
For the gardens will bloom in the spring,-
Your love will not return.

I Ride into The Village on a Grey Horse

I rIde into the village on a grey horse,
On a grey horse,
The people do tell me, the people do tell me
A fiancée I do have.
 
I don't have, don't have, a Lem(ko) I want to have,
a Lem(ko) I want to have,
On a grey horse, a grey horse,
I ride to see her.
 
My grey horse knows where to drink,
Knows where to drink,
There by my girl, there by my girl,
Will carry me there.
 
I rIde into the village on a grey horse,
On a grey horse,
The people do tell me, the people do tell me
A fiancée I do have.
 

Fire

Fire -- your touch's tremendous strength.
Why you came into my quite dreams?
And now my consciousness is your main goal,
I'm looking up counting minutes to fall.
 
The air's with that smell of inspiration,
I've got used to feel too much attention.
For you it's so easy just to enter my mind --
I am that victim, which today you can find.
 
You're embarrassing the fools, breaking ordinary rules, cleaving all of our thoughts in half.
 
Fire -- your touch's tremendous strength.
Why you came into my quite dreams?
And now my consciousness is your main goal,
I'm looking up counting minutes to fall.
 
You learned all about my desires,
And slowly I'm burning in your fires.
For you it's so easy just to switch on my light --
I am that victim, which today you can find.
 
You're embarrassing the fools, breaking ordinary rules, cleaving all of our thoughts in half.
 
Fire -- your touch's tremendous strength.
Why you came into my quite dreams?

Embers

A night and cold winds bring
Letters with no reply
A chimney howls together with winds
And doesn't let memories burn
 
Fire slowly embraces words
Smoke carries sentences away
But words, as is known, don't burn
How to collect what is spilled to make it be like it was before
 
Like in a midsummer night's dream
We got out of step in a dance
How we fell off a cliff
And again danced till dawn
Danced till dawn
 
A mirror folding beams
Shows moments of truth
And a reflection that we see there
Can nurse embers into a flame that once burned
 
Like in a midsummer night's dream
We got out of step in a dance
How we fell off a cliff
And again danced till dawn
Again danced till dawn
Danced till dawn
 
How to collect what is spilled to make it be like it was before
Hot to nurse embers into a flame that once burned
How to collect what is spilled to make it be like it was before
How to nurse embers into a flame that once burned
 
Like in a midsummer night's dream
We got out of step in a dance
How we fell off a cliff
And again danced till dawn
Danced till dawn
 

kapi kise (jedan andjeo je plakao)

(strofa)
Kad su kapi kise pale dole sa neba
Na dan kada si me ostavio, jedan andjeo je plakao
Oh, ona je plakala, jedan andjeo je plakao
Ona je plakala
 

A happy satellite

Remember, when I hurt you
When I went too far again
You're all alone in this world
And that excuses my obstinacy
 
We have the same way we walk together
And the same air is in our chests
And there's no mountain that would be impassable
Or last
If we're concerned by failures, when a branch is in the middle of the road
My happiness is yours, yours is mine
When after summer is spring again
We don't have winters at all
If I, if I had to go alone
Without my army
I would be like a lost foot-soldier
 
You're my blackboard and I'm your white chalk
I pick forests for your wells
For each other we're like a happy satellite
That tirelessly spins nearby
 
If we're concerned by failures, when a branch is in the middle of the road
My happiness is yours, yours is mine
When after summer is spring again
We don't have winters at all
We don't have winters at all
If I, if I had to go alone
Without my army
I would be like a lost foot-soldier
We have the same way we walk together
And the same air is in our chests
And there's no mountain that would be impassable
Or last
 

For you

Someone invented it
For you:
An even joy of the light
And eternity of rain
 
For you
For you
 
Night roads to the south
And the north forest,
A detailed map of the world
And spheres of wonders
 
For you
For you
The sun of a day,
A night and the moon
 
A supper on a summer terrace,
Glare of dragonflies
And even a sorrow about something
That didn't come true,
Power of ships and pine trees,
The etching on the rocks,
The universes of our rooms,
Touches in the dreams
 
For you
For you
The sun of a day,
A night and the moon
 
Someone invented it
For you:
An even joy of the light
And freshness of rain
 
For you
 
A supper on a summer terrace,
Glare of dragonflies
And even a sorrow about something
That didn't come true,
Power of ships and pine trees,
The etching on the rocks,
The universes of our rooms,
Touches in the dreams
 
Planets float along smoothly
Swinging in the night
And I compose it,
It's almost done...
 
For you
 

Seagulls on the rooftops

Seagulls on the rooftops
(Seagulls on the rooftops)
They look down
(They look down)
What do you breath?
(What do you breath?)
Give them a smile
(Give them a smile.)
 
Walking home,
Walking home,
Walking home
Once in the sping,
Walking home,
Walking home,
Don't think, but sing, like that.
 
You'll go through a thousand countries
And there will be many strange things everywhere,
But once you'll be led to us
By this unclear pathway.
 
You'll go through a thousand countries
And there will be many strange things everywhere,
But once you'll be led to us
By this unclear pathway.
 
How long haven't you been there?
(How long haven't you been there?)
Who remembers you?
(Who remembers you?)
This yard where you used to run
(This yard where you used to run)
And raindrops on the windows
(And raindrops on the windows.)
 
This is your house,
But who lives there,
Who knows
What happens then.
These are your house,
A weather vane, a cat
And a bell «bang-bong».
 
You'll go through a thousand countries
And there will be many strange things everywhere,
But once you'll be led to us
By this unclear pathway.

There is the sun and there are leaves,
There are children and cats.
Summer is coming, but where are you there?
 
There is the sun and there are leaves,

Well, where are you?
 

Wake me up

I have a ticket to the fairytale depths of Wonderland
That are hidden behind the eyelids and behind the dilated pupils
Wake me up, the show has already started
 
I close my eyes and I'm home
I don't have anywhere to drive or to go on foot
And there are rivers, and there are mountains
The skies are blue and pools are black
 
I have a ticket to the fairytale depths of Wonderland
That are hidden behind the eyelids and behind the dilated pupils
Wake me up, the show has already started
 
We keep our treasures locked and glued up
But true jewels lie in thick strands of hair
Wake me up, the show has already started
 
There are so many deserts and steppes,
So many places where to go and where to always seek
When courage is gone and doubts appear
I close my eyes and I'm home
 

To my friend

I'm writing to you, my friend
Time is passing by and so many things have happened
Roses are blooming, thorns are sharp
And the children are growing up
But tell me how you are, my friend
 

The Enchanted Violin

Versions: #3
On a poplar, sat white winged charming crane
Set the sun, for the night beyond the fields.
I have loved, I have loved onto the pain
A young man, a nice-playing violinist.
 
I have loved, being enchanted by the string,
I was losing, that sweet melody in grove
To the green grove, in the evening of crane spring
To young man that, loving heart mine I have brought
 
I was walking, like a princess of the evening,
I was walking, getting to that sounding pearl,
Then not knowing, that the music I was seeking
Not for me was, that it was for other girl.
 
On a poplar, sat white winged charming crane
Set the sun, for the night beyond the fields.
I have loved, I have loved onto the pain
That young man, that nice-playing violinist.
 

Out of Thin Air

-Aladdin, are you ok? What happened?
-I always wanted to know at least something about my father, but now I'm not sure. What kind of a person leaves his son? Aaah... Maybe it's not even worth knowing him.
-No, it's worth it.
-Why are you so sure?
-I always knew him. For I know you. Before you, I spent my days alone, but you showed me how wonderful life can be. Just smile, and I'll remember again our first flight. You weren't born to be sad.
-Oh, Jasmine... You can't know everything about me. Just think, how hard it is for children to grow up without parents. Your father made sure that you were able to find your own path. I, on the other hand, from childhood couldn't understand myself and where my world was. Maybe the time has come to find out.
-Be brave and find out!
-We'll have to say goodbye again.
-I'm always waiting for you, know that. And I will be yours...
-My beloved...
-Don't discard your dreams.
-That's the most important thing.
-Maybe, your father will come to our wedding day.
-That's my hope...
-Then it's time...
-To find him.
-He'll be happy to see a joyful young couple. Your father is also asking...
-My son, where are you, where are you?
-He who was once alone, will find a kindred spirit.

The Snows

I did not cry, was not afraid, did not complain
You did not see a trembling hand.
I was sixteen, like from a hideout,
Like a puppy, they took out the hawks .
 
And further - echelons, the inhuman towers,
The barbed wire encircling the camps
The land of the bear, beyond the horizon - boundless,
Where every view burned with a candle ...
 
Chorus:
The Snows, the snows ... Red, black, white ...
The Siberian Years wraped, shored up ...
The Snows the snows chatted me up
All of life redeeming the debts.
 
The dogs howled, and the bullets sounded,
If there is a miracle - this is one miracle:
I do not know where the strength of a wolf came in
I do not know, how I only survived ...
 
I did not cry, was not afraid, did not complain
From those times of student days.
I'm old now, to go now to the hideout,
Yet again to unfurl out the flags...
 
Chorus.
 
I did not cry, was not afraid, did not complain
You did not see a trembling hand.
I was sixteen, like from a hideout,
Like a puppy, they took out the hawks .
 
  
Chorus.
 
The Snows ... The Snows ...
 

The Heavens Did Weep

The heavens did weep on the days of remembrance,
Washing down the grief with a cold rain.
Tears of farewell rolled out within the soul,
Leaving in the heart something unexplored ...
Leaning over her son there at the end,
He was her only one, her only hope ...
In a black scarf, with sacrificial wailing
To him, in farewell she had said:
 
Chorus:
For fortune, I nurtured you, my beloved son,
And I had thought - you would be my support.
I'm sorry, dear mother, I loved Ukraine,
I will be coming to you in a dream ...
 
You will see me in the fragrant kalyna
Gently blooming in the garden there under the window.
And also in the fortunate new Ukraine,
In the radiant Easter at our table!
When you put on, with your father a festive shirt
Remembering that day you gave birth in a thunderstorm,
My soul will be with you in the corner
Wiping away tears gently from your eyes ...
 
Chorus.
 
Recitative:
The heavens did weep on the days of remembrance,
Washing down the grief with a cold rain.
Tears of farewell rolled out within the soul,
Leaving in the heart something unexplored ...
 
Chorus.
 
To you I will come...
To share a page with you:
 

Hey, by The Steppes

Hey, by the steppes, and by the dark ravines
The campaign marches forth with iron pikes.
He who's brave, now, let him come on with us, |
Let us all be knights, O you young men! | (2)
 
We will not fight just for anyone
We'll not be mercenaries, for no one
For Ukraine, now, we all will live forever|
And for her let's loose our heads together. | (2)
 
Every enemy comes here to free us,
And he steals the land for himself,
For a grave, now, will he have the land, |
On that grave will our freedom blossom! | (2)
 
Fly, O song, underneath the heavens,
To Ukrainians do speak to all their hearts
Let our will, now, always be here with us, |
But to the enemies desire let it be an end! | (2)

Hey, by the steppes, and by the dark ravines

CatDog Intro (Ukrainian)

Once (it is unknown when) this little pal came into this world.
It was like both cat and dog, everyone was amazed, everyone smiled.
CatDog, CatDog
The only one in the world is this CatDog.
Since that time sadness and sorrow have been escaping from the town, and boredom too.
It turned all the town upside down, everyone was amazed, everyone smiled.
CatDog, CatDog
The only one in the world is this CatDog.
CatDog, CatDog
The only one in the world is this CatDog.

Rain

Versions: #2
On top of the dark colored rainy Seoul
the cars that speed
The umbrellas that move around everywhere
The weather is foggy, the air is clear
When that rain stops, me who gets reflected
in that puddle of water with a background of pale grey
Why am I stuck standing here
I don’t know whether I have a lot of thoughts
or if I don’t have at all
When it becomes brighter outside, I wake up from my sleep
With my tired hand,
I brush through my hair multiple times
My song memo page that
I couldn’t finish last night
‘I’m going to finish it today’, as I close my eyes tightly,
I give out a long sigh
I try to think of something to say as an excuse
Since I didn’t write anything anyways,
I just write down anything and send it
When I change my view and look outside the window,
it’s all full of grey lights
A grey city with grey buildings
Grey rain on top of a grey road
Everything in this world is slow
My dongsaeng who woke up keeps blurring the ends of his words
I once again open and close the refrigerator that has no fault
I think for now that I have to go outside
Without an umbrella,
it sounds clear, the sound of rain touching the world
I smile, this is the world’s best background music
I hum like a carzy person
What time could it be
On top of this dark colored Seoul that’s raining,
the image of me who still can’t
sleep becomes blurred
When the rain stops, myself who gets reflected
in that puddle of water, looks more pathetic
On a rainy night, the rain that knocks on the window
hits my heart
I grab my hurting shoulder and check my texts
'How are you lately?’
My friend’s text to check up on me
makes me emotional every time
As I smell the scent of the damp raindrops
I stretch out my arms, and
after going to the bathroom,
I greet myself in the mirror who is still not fully awaken
There isn’t anyone to meet, but
I still shower for a long time
Outside of the dorms, it’s still raining
Even though there isn’t somewhere to exactly go to,
I take my umbrella
and walk, roaming around
On top of my dirtied shoes, the rain seems to try to
prove its existence as it leaves its mark.
Like this, was I a person who left my mark like the rain
If not, then
was I just someone who came suddenly and left like lightning
On top of this dark colored Seoul that’s raining,
the image of me who still can’t
sleep becomes blurred
When the rain stops, myself who gets reflected
in that puddle of water, looks more pathetic
I lift up my body and when I feel that it’s stiff,
I look out the window and
as if it’s predicting my body condition,
it’s raining.
I look at the raindrops caught in the mirror and feel this
It’s like the tears that fell through my heart
When I look outside afterwards,
it looks like situation
On the rain that comes down like a melody,
everyone is andante.
I get ready and go out
As I open up my umbrella that’s been scrunched up like my expression,
and walk, and the moment I hear the rain sound
Who could this rain be coming down for
The sound of it coming down and hitting
the top of this sad grey cement
Come slow down
On top of this dark colored Seoul that’s raining,
the image of me who still can’t
sleep becomes blurred
When the rain stops, myself who gets reflected
in that puddle of water, looks more pathetic
Even if this rain dies down,
even if the clouds clear up,
I still stand this same way
without saying anything
I look down on the world
I’m looking at myself who
isn’t being beautiful
In this rain
In this rain
 

I fell in love with Ukraine

I fell in love with Ukraine
Like with a country girl
I adore to drink down the hatch
All of your wines!
 
I fell in love with Ukraine
Like with a country girl
Infinite plains,
Golden domes!
 
I fell in love with Ukraine
Like with a country girl
Amazing power,
The most beautiful land!

Millions billions

Many millions, billions stars fall,
But yours still shines
And so does mine
And when you shall fade, then so shall I change
Change world's
Whether I want to or not
 
Just a bit more, and I shall know more than is allowed
Just a bit more, no,no, further is forbidden...
 
Listen and someday we shall say - it is ours
And winter, and late spring
And a daughter, and a son
And then, when the end of the world comes
Or the endless cold,
We shall burn together
 
Just a bit more, and I shall know more than is allowed
Just a bit more, no,no, further is forbidden...
 
We need to Luton to touch things that are on fire
Not to drown, when dragged under,
And not to sleep, if we are tired
We need to learn to see the invisible
To love the hated
And feel the same nothing
 
Just a bit more, and I shall know more than is allowed
Just a bit more, no,no, further is forbidden...
 

Sexual conkers

I once lived a soldier
I loved him without end
But he preferred to spend
His time with his cannon
 
I once lived a chauffeur
Come beneath the covers, what are you starting at?
But he only told me
How to turn the steering wheel
 
Chorus
 
Come to me this evening
Come to me tomorrow
Sexual conkers
Are falling in my garden
 
I once lived a poet
Who scorned the stuff
Instead of embracing me
He rhymed couplets for me
 
I once lived a banker
And asked him for pleasure
He scattered promises
Like old banknotes
 
Chorus
 
I now love a girlfriend
Without a profession
And know this - she alone
Did me any good
 
In looks a pure angel
Though always understands everything on time
I am sure she alone replaces
Three cannon companies
 
Chorus
 

Sister

I drew winter
I ran out of the colour white
I drew a cricket on the wall
It shall now be my sister
 
I thought, that a flood began
And swept away my home
I ran away from everything
I left nothing there
 
In the morning someone shall return...
And with beautiful chalks will draw us
The moon shall be bright
We shall run to polish until our sleeves wear through
In the morning my sister shall return
And maybe... so shall I
 
Many jealous eyes
Live on the globe
My drawn sister
I shall never give away
 
In the morning someone shall return...
And with beautiful chalks will draw us
The moon shall be bright
We shall run to polish until our sleeves wear through
In the morning my sister shall return
And maybe... so shall I
 

Indira Gandhi

I'm flying far away
With my eyes closed
For me nothing is as it was before
It doesn't bother me any more
I'll change my views
On all of those who play
In the end there's no death
But to those who help
 
I can see Indira Gandhi
She is so young
She is laughing and dancing
Dressed in a silk saree
For now she doesn't know
That soon she will turn into ashes
And the wind will scatter her dust
Over the earth!
 
I would buy back the stars
Chained to the sky
By magic flowers1
Giving hope
To those who don't notice
The cold half-moon
Flying to the ground
As the rain of meteorites
 
Perfect Indira Gandhi
She is so young
She is laughing and dancing
Dressed in a silk saree
For now she doesn't know
That soon she will turn into ashes
And the wind will scatter her dust
Over the earth!
