Who You Are

Where will this day take me today, I do not know
I truly don't
What does it matter?
Drinking coffee, going back to bed
From experience, it's pretty deceiving
I honestly don't know what I'm doing
 
And I still got many things to do
Weighing down on my shoulders
I'm carrying a case
And how it creates a distance
To just silence what I am
Gotta suppress it
When will it stop?
It this sad or funny?
 
In the end, you have to know
Fate is stronger than you
Mute all the noise that passes you by
Don't need no costumes
Go shout it in the streets -
Who you are
 
Where will these thoughts of tomorrow eventually take me, I do not know
About to lose my mind
How do I get out of this?
And there are a million others like me, screaming it all night till it hurts
Following their hearts
What is there to be afraid of?
 
Everybody's talking
Gotta let it slide
Weighing down on my shoulders
I'm carrying a case
And how it creates a distance
To just silence what I am
Gotta suppress it, when will it stop?
It this sad or funny?
When will it stop?
 
In the end, you have to know
Fate is stronger than you
Mute all the noise that passes you by
Don't need no costumes
Go shout it in the streets -
Who you are
 
In the end, you have to know
That everything comes in its time
And the light within will arrive
When you are ready
Don't need no costumes
Go shout it in the streets -
Who you are
 

Metronome

I wonder if it was fated that we would meet
And that such a day would come, was that also decided by fate?
 
Thoughts that would never come true growing stronger
Hurting each other, torturing each other
I couldn't even make excuses like 'I was just thinking about it'
And the hem of your sleeve as you ran away, I couldn't grasp it
I was weak
 
No matter what day it is, or what I'm trying to do
I'll end up trying to search for you,
While the thoughts I want you to know grow ever stronger
Not one of them decreasing
I want you to laugh me off
 
When I think about what kind of place this would be, it becomes dull
Even though we just went back to how it was before we met, why does it feel like something is different?
 
I'm sure that we're just like two metronomes
Our tempos were the same, ticking away together
But before we knew, we started to get misaligned
And the more time that passed, the further away we grew
And we couldn't stop it
 
I wonder where we will go from now on
Can we forget everything and keep on living?
No matter how happy you are right now
I don't want you to forget
Since it's always inside me
 
Passing by each other back to back we walk on
And gradually stop being able to see each other
If, from now on, we keep on living at the same tempo
On the other side of the earth
Would we be able to meet again
 
No matter what day it is, or what I'm trying to do
I'll probably end up loving you,
While the thoughts I want you to know grow ever stronger
Not one of them decreasing
I want you to laugh me off
 
I want you to be here
 

Heil, China!

Heil China, old Middle Empire!
Confucius was law and custom,
Laotse gifted pure wisdom,
You yourself brought us the culture!
 
And you were never seen weary
Even if we often had conflicts
You were even called dictatorship,
Because against freedom and nature.
 
You quickly saw that too
And you could understand wisely
That capitalism is good too,
If one is thinking about it ...
 
So you created the state synthesis,
What only a Chinese can do:
The exploitation, billions of times,
And that everyone is monitored.
 
The west holds its breath
Russia can only be amazed too.
We willing cultural barbarians,
Like to follow you (!) In large numbers.
 
Heil, China, ancient Middle Empire,
So hear my request here:
Give enlightenment through meditation,
So we may we lose our self!
 

Corona 15: Gazelle and Lion

How can we live with viruses?
Why not learn from the animals?
In Africa, there are gazelles
That leap, springing upward
As soon as a lion approaches...
At this point, I ask myself:
Why do they not bolt, full of fear
As soon as the lions even discover them?
 
Amazed, one sees them peacefully graze
But near them, in the grass,
There are lions lying, calm and lazy
And dozing with closed jaws.
Gazelles, who are really clever,
They know the danger precisely:
Only if the lion jumps up at them,
Then do they flee as quickly as possible – not until then!
 

Corona Virus

I'm the prince, i'm a gentle man

As we found its name 'God, God, God'
We God's help, we'll find the solution 'God, God, God'

Much Too Soon

Versions: #1
The wind blows gently through the leaves
Just a breeze
I can feel it
I notice it
It embraces me tenderly
It touches me
But ever so softly
 
The fall presents itself to me like a picture
Full of feeling
And longing
So beautiful
All is quiet
And the day
Passes
Without you
 
One lonely year goes by
It seems
Like a dream
And it's night time
And I never ever wake up
And it never ends
Never leaves me
Because you're gone
 
You once said, that life
Is unfair
But tell me
Why
Did it take you from me?
Much too soon
Leaving me here
Without you
 

Summer

Write
your name,
write
it into reality.
 
For every moment
in which the coldness of the night grips me,
your hand is freed and in the struggle,
summer fades away with you.
 
Far,
unimaginably
far
into infinity.
 
A small dot, a white light
appears
from the past
and as if in a dream, summer awakens.
 
See how the birds
flee to warm lands
and every day loses strength.
 
And when the rain falls
on the face of the world,
then summer gently leaves me behind.
 
Cold,
it's slowly growing
cold.
Every step goes unheard
in the darkness.
 
Lonely
like cries in the forest
and the way it felt in summer.
 
Listen to time fading away
as the wind turns
and every day loses strength.
 
And when the rain falls
on the face of the world,
then summer gently leaves me behind.
 
See how the birds
flee to warm lands
and every day loses strength.
 
Listen to time fading away
as the wind turns
and every day loses strength.
 

Still

Versions: #1
I saw the moon last night.
In the Sea of Tranquility I lay awake, dreaming,
and felt the coldness here.
I think I miss you.
I miss you
still.
 
We used to come here together
and we turned to face the stars
until you were overcome with homesickness.
I think I miss you.
I miss you
more and more.
 
Whoever you're loyal to,
please don't do it.
Whoever you're looking at,
you'd better take a good look.
Wherever you fall asleep,
don't turn around.
Whatever you're up to,
I'll be with you,
I'll stay with you
still.
 
It's not over
just because I have to wake up at some point.
This still won't be the end
because I miss you.
Yes, I miss you
still.
 
Whoever you're loyal to,
please don't do it.
Whoever you're looking at,
you'd better take a good look.
Wherever you fall asleep,
don't turn around.
Whatever you're up to,
I'll be with you,
I'll stay with you
still.
 

Serenading Night

Passing night,
sadly passing,
sadly crossing
by my balcony.
 
Serenading night,
how it wounds me,
how it hurts
my heart.
 
Moon that breaks
over the darkness
of my loneliness:
where, where are you going?
 
Tell me if this night,
you're going to serenade me,
because he has left me,
who is, who is he with?
 
Tell him I love him,
tell him I'm dying
from waiting so long,
tell him to return, return now.
 
For serenading nights
are no good,
they hurt you,
they bring sorrow,
you end up
crying to them.
 

Dancing in Limbo

You left and I let you walk away
Where are you hiding, my love?
You know well that you will not win, only pain stays with us
Whatever makes you fly will kill you in the end
There is no mercy in your sky, it will destroy you
I only want to dream that one day you will return, or you will keep dancing in limbo
 
She got lost, without thinking
Someone told her that the night was her home
I lost her, without speaking
She stayed on the threshold of darkness
Where to go when the sun goes away?
Now there is no one left that wants to listen
Once, you were an angel, but now you have left and will never return
 
Whatever makes you fly will kill you in the end
There is no mercy in your sky, it will destroy you
I only want to dream that one day you will return, or you will keep dancing in limbo
ohh woah, ohh woah, ohh woah, ohh woah dancing in limbo tonight, ohh woah, ohh woah, ohh woah
 
I saw my time pass, I shouted your name every night, I found her
She's here (just here) next to me, yeahh
I will wait all my life to see her dance
Whatever makes you fly will kill you in the end
There is no mercy in your sky, it will destroy you
I only want to dream that one day you will return, or you will keep dancing in limbo
ohh woah, ohh woah, ohh woah, ohh woah, ohh woah, ohh woah, ohh woah
 
You left and I let you walk away
Where are you hiding, my love?
You know well that you will not win, only pain stays with us, pain stays, pain stays, pain stays, pain stays
Dancing in limbo you will stay
Whatever makes you fly will kill you in the end
There is no mercy in your sky, it will destroy you
I only want to dream that one day you will return, or you will keep dancing in limbo
Dancing, dancing, dancing in limbo you will stay
I only want to dream that one day you will return, or you will keep dancing in limbo
 

Song of the destroyers on Leningrad front

We were created by Stalin,
Menacing destroyers, —
The country sends us to avenge our Motherlland.
He will not save himself inside armour,
The enemy will pay back thrice
His bill to my Motherland.
 
Chorus:
The destroyer wages battle —
The hordes of wolves are howling.
I have opened a deadly account
For the fascist rascals.
Beat! Beat!
Beat the fascists in the dug-outs,
Bury them in debris,
Beat them! Beat them!
With fierce revenge in the spirit,
Following Stalin's orders.
 
Stalin led the innumerable force
Out to victorious battle,
The enemy will not find any way back.
I'll well-aimedly send a bullet,
Avenge for my father
And for the tears and blood of children.
 
Chorus.
 
Burning with wrath towards the German,
Nikolaev beats the enemies,
Goličenkov moves them down by the hundreds.
The country will not forget
The names of the brave,
It'll retain them with love forever.
 
Chorus.
 
Growing is our army of the brave,
Like Smoljačkov the hero,
Like Pahomov, Rusinov.
We'll beat them until the end,
To exterminate the enemies,
To fullfill Stalin's order with honour.
 
Chorus.
 

The Farewell Song

Versions: #1
Let's talk now in whispers, Let's not be aloud,
Let's bid our farewells now, and go.
A week, an another, and we will calm down
What was, that was, it's gone
 
Of course it is horrible, so stupid and senseless,
Oh how could one turn back the time?
The past can't be turned back, it's rather unthinkable,
And even don't have it in mind.
 
Let's deal with our lunches, let's deal with our clothing,
Let's fill our living with cares,
It's easier that way, it´s a lot simpler truly
It truly is hurting much less
 
Let's not be so cunning, let's not charm the fate
By god, it is not worth the pain,
Oh, yes, gentlemen, not maybe, not sometime
But never, ever again.
 
Say, ain't it so sweet
And so very good,
Came and went away,
Was and left for good.
 

People (Parody On Grönemeyer's Männer)

People are hoarding canned food,
thinkin' they're terribly smart,
people hoard toilet paper
to upholster their homes,
and yet they' re so vulnerable.
Maybe they think they're just irreplaceable.
 
People also hoard pasta,
waiting for it in line at the store,
People buy like crazy,
and go by tram for free.
Oh, people are always ready,
All for money and for gluttony.
 
People grasp a lot, take it easy,
even if there isn't enough for everyone.
They' re calibrated to egos since they were kids.
When does man become a man?
 
When does man become a man?
When does man become a man?
 
People wash their hands,
People are afraid of the GAU.
Buy a hundred masks,
and they think they're so smart.
Oh, people are lonely fighters
and just keep going on like this.
 
People grasp a lot, take it easy,
even if there isn't enough for everyone.
They' re calibrated to egos since they were kids.
When does man become a man?
When is a man a man?
When is a man a man?
 
Humans fight wars,
everyone want to be the greatest.
People build rockets,
people fall for Nazis.
People make speeches,
don't get involved in anything.
 
When does man become a man?
When does man become a man?
 
People could act differently,
people can be reasonable.
People can not just
help only themselves.
Oh, people would be dependable,
then our world wouldn't be so ugly.
 
It's not always easy for people,
also because no two are alike.
Only when there'll be enough earth for everyone,
then man will be a human being!
Then man is a human being!
Then man is a human being!
When is one a human being?
When is one a human being?
 

The world is dawning

The darkness of the room
Will join you
Get dressed, get dressed, get dressed
And this night that you kept, is yours
Get dressed, get dressed
 
The world is dawning
The world is dawning
 
With the kisses that I planted
Deep inside you
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up
And the things you won tonight, are yours
Hurry up, hurry up
 
The world is dawning
The world is dawning
 

Just Like That

Don't drive south
if you still want to see me.
Silence betrays
what you think.
I don't like the old ways anymore,
just like that.
 
Don't open doors
you don't actually want to go through.
Some things are risked too quickly
and many things just remain meaningless.
 
There are things
that end quietly
out of nowhere,
just like that.
 
Never play with tears
you can't even feel.
In silence, the picture gets distorted.
No one gives you that much passion
just like that.
 
Don't search for words
if you can't explain it.
Some things are said too quickly
and many things are often just uninspired.
 
There are things
that end quietly
out of nowhere,
just like that.
 

The Middle

Don't let me go.
Don't hold me tight.
Let me have heaven and leave me my nest.
 
See who you love.
Love who you see.
Woman can be a beauty and a beast too, unfortunately.
 
Happiness, that's the middle between no and yes,
between a cool head and blind lust.
Happiness is when you don't always hear time whizzing by,
when you stay even if you don't have to.
 
Say what you think.
Think your part.
If my silence hurts you, I'll kiss you better.
 
Don't fool me.
Don't lie to me.
Unless it can save love, but only then.
 
Happiness isn't a secret tip.
Happiness isn't a gift from a fairy godmother
who cast a spell on us.
Happiness is when you have time to watch
how your love grows with the years.
 
Don't let me go.
Don't hold me tight.
Let me have heaven and leave me my nest.
 
Don't fool me.
Don't lie to me.
Unless it can save love, but only then.
 
Don't let me go.
Don't hold me tight.
 

I'm not in Love

I'm not in Love
It's true. You are just a friend.
I tried to joke with you by calling you in the middle of the night.
I'm not in Love, No, No, It's because...
 
I really do want to meet you...but it is okay even you are not there.
I call you in the middle of the night just to gossip.
I'm not in Love, No, No, It's because...
 
I keep a picture of you only because I am lonely.
I write a letter to you in the middle of the night because you are not there.
I'm not in Love, No, No, It's because...
 
Woo... Are you waiting?
Woo... For me?
 
I'm not in Love.
It's true, you are just a friend.
I really do want to meet you... but it is okay even if you are not there.
I'm not in Love, No, No, It's because...

Maybe i was not ready for this love
And this kicked me in the balls
 
I don't wanna see you nowhere close to me, girl
I don't wanna miss you no more
I don't want you to see me like this
So, you want me to tell the truth
 
You are exactly like that, bitch
You take all the ways, i'm classy
You are expensive, i'm basic
You can't calm me,
You can't ease my pain
I won't come for you, not going to call you
You missed that train, you've bitten the forbidden apple

You knew that i was good
That's why you keep talking about it? Why did you do this to me?
Like you don't know all this happened because of you
Why are you still talking about it?
 
You are an angel, i'm the Satan
I don't know how can i bee 'good' for you
You took care of me and left without making an ace
Give me more, more
I left on my own with my cigarette, choking on my tears
Give me more, more
My feet is on the gas, going on the downhill with full speed
 
You are no longer in my life, fuck! That hurts
I don't even remember how you smell
I don't know if i'll see you again
I don't know what the fuck is going to happen to me
 
I don't know if i'll see you again

A Glass of Ego

Are you thirsty for identity?
Pour me a glass
When I remake my world
The only miracles will be geysers
 
Disfigure you by the second
Penetrate you like a probe
Wouldn't you take a glass yet?
And then this girl?
 
Under her air of shells, she emerges, doesn't she?
And that convoluted laugh
In the stories that she spreads
And that convoluted laugh, in the mirror, that which she likes
And that convoluted laugh, in the stories that she spreads
 
Look damply on your ego
You subject yourself as a lego
Constraint, enough to make La Boétie1 cry
Slanted look in your retro
You submit yourself like a dingo
Constraint, enough to make a demagogue cum
 
Are you thirsty for eternity?
Give me a glass.
When you go back to bed,
There's no cure, no more than yesterday
 
Swallow that last glass
When you're alone in your fall
When this reread this message
The bait attracts your wandering soul.
 
Look damply on your ego
You subject yourself as a lego
Constraint, enough to make La Boétie cry
 
Slanted look in your retro
You submit yourself like a dingo
Constraint, enough to make a demagogue cum
 
Give me, give me
A glass of ego (x4)
 
Go, again, another glass
And this taste disappears
You try so hard
To prevent yourself from sleeping like a lamppost
 
Jerky breathing on a sound rock
Mouth ravaged, baroque vibe
Strutting eyes, two shocking bodies
Second-hand vibes, second-hand vibes,
 
Look damply on your ego
You subject yourself as a lego
Constraint, enough to make La Boétie cry
Slanted look in your retro
You submit yourself like a dingo
Constraint, enough to make a demagogue cum
 
Give me, give me
A glass of ego (x4)

Impossible

The sky shines gold tonight
Midnight falls like silk
I'm being killed by a crazy fire
And desire for you, dear
 
Being with you was wonderful
But all great things are short-lived
Now I'm alone with myself again
While you share your lips with another
 
Impossible, impossible
To bring back what was yesterday
A small room in your house
And the heat of our touch
 
Impossible, impossible
And everything pulls me toward you
While desire fills my chest
Impossible, impossible
 
Things will never be the same
As they were with you
Maybe I will be with someone else
But not in this lifetime
 

A Dreamy Light Year

My dream is floating in a sea of stardust.
I will overcome time and go far away.
 
People lose sight of their dreams in this world and are still looking for them.
 
If somehow they are found somewhere then they are return only as fragments.
Ah... The joy of having a dream...
For a second time,
Ah... The happiness I get by having a dream...
Once again, a dreamy light year.
 
I hold out my hand to run away with you.
Our figures change and disappear.
People lose out because they abandon their dreams.
If you look carefully people's dreams are in their hearts.
 
If I somehow meet you somewhere, I will probably not let go of your hand once again.
Ah... The joy of having a dream...
For a second time,
Ah... The happiness I get by having a dream...
Once again, a dreamy light year.
 

Silence

Silence
penetrates the rock,
a human trace
on the sand
of the seashore.
 
In memory of Carlos Heinz
 

After him

That's all, the door slammed shut.
and the soul has tightened in a ball.
Without him, everything doesn’t matter now,
Only emptiness in the soul remained
and the hand on the clock of love has accidentally broken
 
My soul is flying after him
Love and dissolve without a trace.
Breathe in the moment
Get under his sweet kiss
 
The world around me closed in a ring
The burning pain is running through the veins.
I cannot fall asleep, my thoughts are only about him,
and my soul is flying after him to the edge of the universe
and the heart wants to break out of the fiery prison
 
My soul is flying after him
Love and dissolve without a trace.
Breathe in the moment
Get under his sweet kiss
 
That's all, the door slammed shut.
and the soul has tightened in a ball
 
My soul is flying after him
Love and dissolve without a trace.
Breathe in the moment
Get under his sweet kiss
 
After him, after him
The Only One, after him

I can barely even stand.
I already have so much.
But you don't want to go.
What a game.
I follow my plan.

Maybe you'll be even more beautiful,
just slightly.
 
When the haze lifts
the next day,
I can't remember
what else happened.

Festival of Saint Jerome

Festival of Saint Jerome
you make me remember:
beneath a beautiful curtain
how the Ixtepecana1 sways her dress2
to the son3 of the Zandunga4,
your night is the lover of my song.5
 
Festival of Saint Jerome
you make me remember:
the carving of the wax,6
the mayordomos7 and the corral
where the wild bulls
will be mounted by the Zapotec men.
 
I remember a beautiful bygone era8
with its delicately lit lanterns,
the enchantment of its castles9
and the happiness they'd bring when lit.10
 
Festival of Saint Jerome
you make me remember:
the tossing of the fruit11
the fishermen12 and their offerings,
when a delicious stew
beneath an arbor13 tastes exquisite.
 
Festival of Saint Jerome
I shall never forget you
because your traditions
are of the people who live in me,
and should I not attend one day,
my sons are there, they're yours too.
 
I remember a beautiful bygone era
with its delicately lit lanterns,
the enchantment of its castles
and the happiness they'd bring when lit.

You in my eyes

You are beautiful without makeup
Charming pretty, very pretty, very gentle ...
No jeans, no high heels
You choose my own ao dai, charming ...
 
Like the other flower on the shelf
Fragrance does not show off colors
Thousands of flowers are brilliantly unmatched
 
Gently fluttering ao dai
Young Vietnamese woman
Light shines brightly from the Eastern people
 
Beautiful image
Or because I am fully happy with you
Light up the green spring
 
Vietnamese girl, wearing an ao dai
Beautiful all over the world an Asian feature
 
A day far away
Sad afternoon wandering
Accidentally passed
 
A white ao dai
A pretty shoulder I don't know
My heart is suddenly warm
To the breeze about love
 
I love you
I miss you
 

A Night at the Rotary Club

Just recently I would
Never have dreamed of
Attending this here event
I had been taken here
 
And the initial aversion
Had soon given way to the impression
That the evening could be worth it
There were interesting things to report
 
We ate and drank and conversed
The appreciation was mutual
And there was a certain kind of trust
It was almost a little unsettling
 
I have also rarely seen most people
The way I did tonight
I will have to put everything into
Understanding the events in detail
 

Dance in the dark

Dance, dance, dance in the dark
Dance, dance, dance in the dark
 
I have a filthy lapse tonight
Just the courage to stay home
I see myself crying in the mirror
While the city is agitated
 
Come and take me, leave me alone
What don't you understand
I want freedom, I am too fragile
To get by without you
 
I danced in the dark
Lowered my eyelids
To no longer see you
You seemed to like it
I danced in the dark
Lowered my eyelids
To no longer see you
You seemed to like it
 
You were angry tonight
But I don't remember why
The reason was secondary
I imitated the Quebec accent
 
I no longer have morality, I let loose
I believe you don't see it
So you groan, upset
You walk away in a clamour
 
I danced in the dark
Lowered my eyelids
To no longer see you
You seemed to like it
I danced in the dark
Lowered my eyelids
To no longer see you
You seemed to like it
 
Dance, dance, dance in the dark
Dance, dance, dance in the dark
Dance, dance, dance in the dark
Dance, dance, dance in the dark
 
Dance, dance, dance in the dark
Dance, dance, dance in the dark
Dance, dance, dance in the dark
Dance, dance, dance in the dark
 
I danced in the dark
Lowered my eyelids
To no longer see you
You seemed to like it
I danced in the dark
Lowered my eyelids
To no longer see you
You seemed to like it
 
Dance, dance, dance in the dark
Dance, dance, dance in the dark
Dance, dance, dance in the dark
Dance, dance, dance in the dark
 
Dance, dance, dance in the dark
Dance, dance, dance in the dark
Dance, dance, dance in the dark
Dance, dance, dance in the dark
 

In Circles

Tell your little ones where you've all gone.
Old men stand before me, time holds them captive.
 
Tell your little ones why none of you laugh anymore.
Old women stand before me, their lives were so difficult.
 
No playing and no screaming here, man suffers only for himself.
On the day when hope leaves, the circle closes for you.
 
On the day when hope leaves, the circle closes for you.

Why explain when I no longer believe?
What's left other than the biggest blow?
It's one hundred percent effective,
when it takes our lives.
 
We are freezing to death, it's so cold,
poor children, but soon it'll be warm.
Yeah we are freezing to death, it's so cold,
poor children, but soon it'll be warm.
 
It will be eight hundred degrees.
You can trust me, you can trust me.
Eight hundred degrees.
You can trust me, you can trust me.
 
People with a staring gaze,
you cried even if you weren't allowed to.
Warm clothes but still the creeps,
not weird when I only see fools.
 
We are freezing to death, it's so cold,
poor children, but soon it'll be warm.
Yeah we are freezing to death, it's so cold,
poor children, but soon it'll be warm.

You can trust me, you can trust me.
Eight hundred degrees.
You can trust me, you can trust me.
 
Sometimes nothing is felt,
even when they decapitate me.
Just so fucking empty,
when I await my own judgment.
