My country

They march on
They chant old songs
I can't listen to all that any more
 
False flags again
They write lists, shout out names
And want to destroy us
 
[Refrain:]
I won't let my country slip away
I feel it crying
Where is the country that we once knew?
The peace that I mean has burned away
 
Gasoline into every fire
Steered in the wrong direction
I've had enough of this war
 
They lie and betray
They agitate, they manipulate
Their roots strike deep
 
It's not their country
They have no right
To destroy it
 
[Refrain:]
I won't let my country slip away
I feel it crying
Where is the country that we once knew?
The peace that I mean has burned away
 
Death, cold and a war
It was all there
If the country lies in the abyss
Then what will ever remain of it?
 
[Refrain:]
I won't let my country slip away
I feel it crying
Where is the country that we once knew?
The peace that I mean has burned away

Rebellion of the Dwarfs

You must be tall and powerful
In the land of great atrocities
To move carefree
And to expand oneself further
The dwarfs had a lot of patience
They believed they were to blame
But with time they noticed
That they are never granted freedom
 
Rage has now spread about
And plans are being devised
They want to try everything
Now they have nothing left to lose
A hundred thousand little dwarfs
The giants' hair stand on end
And after a long preparation
Now it's finally ready
 
[Refrain:]
After a gentle warning
they dismantled the palaces, short and small
That is the goblet of the giants
Now only dwarfs fit in it
After a gentle warning
they dismantled the palaces, short and small
That is the goblet of the giants
Now only dwarfs fit in it
 
And then with its very last strength
The old night, it screams out
Can't you forgive us once again?
We will repent everything
The giants run out of breath
They shrink slowly
Soon they are just as small
As all the dwarfs
 
You can be small and slight
To free this land here
To do what you now want to do
Without terror, without drill
Despite that you must lend water
In case new giants arise
To escape such fetters again
Will never happen
 
[Refrain:]
After a gentle warning
they dismantled the palaces, short and small
That is the goblet of the giants
Now only dwarfs fit in it
After a gentle warning
they dismantled the palaces, short and small
That is the goblet of the giants
Now only dwarfs fit in it
After a gentle warning
they dismantled the palaces, short and small
That is the goblet of the giants
Now only dwarfs fit in it

You're alive

Dark grey is the asphalt of your youth
Dark grey is the stone on which you fell
Dark grey is the mist of longing in which you're immersed
When you lie on wet stones
 
[Refrain:]
But you're alive, you're alive, and you only have this one chance
You're alive, you're alive, even if it was sometimes different
 
Cruel is the memory of a life
Cruel is the hardship you feel
Cruel is the mist of memory in which you're immersed
When hardship surrounds you again
 
[Refrain:]
But you're alive, you're alive, and you only have this one chance
You're alive, you're alive, even if it was sometimes different
 
Grey are the walls that you built for yourself
From all the stone on which you fell
Raw, but you have become strong
Because fortunately you heart is not made of stone
 
[Refrain:]
But you're alive, you're alive, and you only have this one chance
You're alive, you're alive, even if it was sometimes different
You're alive and you only have this one chance
You're alive, you're alive, you're alive

Soldiers of fortune

Fire, ice and longing
Looking ahead, determination
The wide path is part of the destination
There in infinity
 
To celebrate feasts as they fall
To use the days, and the nights too
All will become eternity
We are the clang in the cold smoke
 
[Refrain:]
We are soldiers of fortune in no man's land
It goes on in freefall
But we're writing stories that we like
And that keep the world alive
We are, we are, we are soldiers of fortune
We are, we are, we are soldiers of fortune
 
We lay our tracks
And step out from oblivion
We draw our sword from the stone
And fight our way free
 
We shatter our fear, nothing will stop us
We stick together, man by man
We are ready and our flag is waving
Ahead of everyone
 
[Refrain:]
We are soldiers of fortune in no man's land
It goes on in freefall
But we're writing stories that we like
And that keep the world alive
We are, we are, we are soldiers of fortune
We are, we are, we are soldiers of fortune
 
Soldiers of fortune in no man's land
We are soldiers of fortune in no man's land
Soldiers of fortune in no man's land
We are soldiers of fortune in no man's land
 
We are, we are, we are soldiers of fortune
We are, we are, we are soldiers of fortune

Love disco

The rapture of the dance chimes darkly
Around us in the tournament of bodies
That have already known each other a long time
Lusting, sweating, uninhibited
I caught your eye
It shines pulsatingly at me
Light moves to music
My heart beats for you
 
[Refrain:]
But we stand there and drink, to hell with embellishment
We stand there and drink, thus we could, yes, we could
But we stand there and drink, to hell with embellishment
We stand there and drink, thus we could, we could
 
Dry air on the podium
The poet babbles and lulls us
A glimmer of light gathers, stops us
We're standing alone
My table here and yours over there
Our fear as a barrier
In between lies an ocean
Of sensual thoughts
 
[Refrain:]
And we stand there and drink, to hell with embellishment
We stand there and drink, thus we could, yes, we could
But we stand there and drink, to hell with embellishment
We stand there and drink, thus we could, we could
 
Are thoughts really free?
Are desire and lust enough?
Then I don't have to do anything
Perhaps you'll come to me
 
But we stand there and drink
 
[Refrain:]
But we stand there and drink, to hell with embellishment
We stand there and drink, thus we could, yes, we could
But we stand there and drink, to hell with embellishment
We stand there and drink, thus we could, we could

Armageddon

Ohhh, ohhh, Armageddon
Ohhh, ohhh, Armageddon
 
The light goes out, a storm brews
The world stands still in its orbit
Soon it will lie in dark calm
Because now the call to battle sounds
 
[Refrain:]
We enter the battle
It's all over (Armageddon)
Soon it'll be complete
In the fire we are free (Armageddon)
Ohhh, ohhh, Armageddon
Ohhh, ohhh, Armageddon
 
Rank upon rank we stand still
Because someone wanted it this way
We marched out today for them
We don't know them but we're here
 
[Refrain:]
We enter the battle
It's all over (Armageddon)
Soon it'll be complete
In the fire we are free (Armageddon)
Ohhh, ohhh, Armageddon
Ohhh, ohhh, Armageddon
 
We take the blame
One last time in harsh conflict
Without asking for the meaning
Then the darkness finally comes
 
[Refrain:]
We enter the battle
It's all over (Armageddon)
Soon it'll be complete
In the fire we are free (Armageddon)
Ohhh, ohhh, Armageddon
Ohhh, ohhh, Armageddon

Icarus

All hope is destroyed
Pride came before the fall, deathly silence before the bang
You always wanted to go up high
You were the last hero for a better world
 
Everything you dreamed of is burned up on the horizon
Lift yourself one last time into a faraway land
 
[Refrain:]
Fly free, Icarus
Fly high, because you must
Everything in you will burn
Until the sun scorches you
Fly free, because you must
Fly high, my Icarus
 
Endlessly proud, sure of yourself
So you went ahead with fanfare and singing
We followed you into the bright light
Borne by the euphoria that cried out from your heart
 
Everything we dreamed of is burned up on the horizon
Take us with you one last time into a faraway land
 
[Refrain:]
Fly free, Icarus
Fly high, because you must
Everything in you will burn
Until the sun scorches you
Fly free, because you must
Fly high, my Icarus

I assume

Belle:
I assume, he is tender
Suddenly he feels irrestible
I fall in love, yesterday
I didn't even knew I'd get a friend from him
 
Beast:
She looks at me, smiling
And when she touches me, my arm shakes
It's true, she smiles
She completely captures me with her gaze
 
Belle:
Ah, a new and strange feeling
Who could've guessed that it would be this way
He's not any prince Charming
But I guess beauty is not always seen from outside
 
Plumette:
Who would've guessed
 
Mrs. Potts:
Oh heavens, yes
 
Cogsworth:
I didn't know
 
Lumiere:
Nobody did
That they would be enjoying there so well
 
Mrs. Potts
It's really odd
We're watching
 
Plumette, Mrs. Potts, Cogsworth & Lumiere:
We're watching
Now the day two
If the relationship would grow to be stronger
 
Cogsworth:
And listen
I wish their relationship would grow to be stronger

Pleasure of Novelty

Say, honey, have you forgotten the days
filled by the glamour of life?
When boys turned into girls and girls turned into boys
When the world's own beauty gave us courage
When you rested your eye on a Technicolor hairstyle
When youth was the only thing worth having
Pleasure is our mirage and mirage is our pleasure
You never heard what they said
 
Say, honey, has your memory faded?
Is the charm of past times not there?
When nights turned into days and days turned into nights
When every wind that blew, it was warm
When we shrugged our shoulders at the dangers that us threatened
We ignored all the black clouds
We stood out from the crowd, we held our heads up
over all the grey masses' stifled buzz
 
It was beautiful when we loved, it was beautiful when we hated
It was beautiful for a while
But everything has lost the pleasure of novelty
 
It was beautiful when we loved, it was beautiful when we hated
It was beautiful for a while
But everything has lost the pleasure of novelty
 
Say, honey, why escape the days
we would give everything to keep?
Nothing is eternal, nothing is holy
Nothing is no longer like it was
But here we step around like debris from a wreckage
that once could reflect itself in glory
We were the ones who lived, we who would never doubt,
would show the whole world that we existed
 
It was beautiful when we loved, it was beautiful when we hated
It was beautiful for a while
But everything has lost the pleasure of novelty
 
It was beautiful when we loved, it was beautiful when we hated
It was beautiful for a while
But everything has lost the pleasure of novelty
 
Yes, everything has lost the pleasure of novelty
Yes, everything has lost the pleasure of novelty
 

Shadow of a Doubt

I had hoped that time would help me forget
Had hoped that night would help me dream
Had hoped that someone would teach me to see
 
But I have wasted my days, I have taken everything for granted
Everything behind me is ash, everything except life
that lies there and waits for something to happen
 
To constantly search for happiness, it has cut up my heart
To constantly search for happiness, it has only given me pain
Had hoped that someone would teach me to see
 
And all the instant excitement all beautiful sins gave us
starts to lose all its charm now, starts to tear time away from us
And at the same time the moments become shorter than then
 
But I am tired of living, afraid to die
But when I saw you, you were the island of rescue
Tired of living, afraid to die
 
I might only be a boy, all too young to be able to judge
But there are moments that I most of all want to forget
So I close my eyes to not have to look at you and your body
 
Because once I believed in truth, once I believed in honour
Believed you and I were friends, believed you and I were in love
But I found that people change so easily without reason
 
I had hoped that time would help me forget
Had hoped that night would help me dream
Had hoped that someone would teach me to see
 
And I have wasted my days, I have taken everything for granted
Everything behind me is ash, everything except life
that lies there and waits for something to happen
 
But I am tired of living, afraid to die
But when I saw you, you were the island of rescue
Tired of living, afraid to die
 

Last nights without you

Last nights without you made me lose my way on this spring,
Last nights without you under the stars and artillery fire...
Trembling and burning the edge of a sky, drops a gray shadow -
Last moments without you are like eternity with you..
 
Only flowers remind me the kindness of your hands
In the cold bastion only could make me warm..
Last nights without you in sparks of this battle hell,
You are so far from me, and I believe - that you are near!
 
Every day, every night, it's like a real
I'm holding to you, I'm walking to you
In that prays in my dreams the heavens i ask:
If only you could hea like I love you..
 
Someone may say 'it's in vain', but it's would be not me.
I know what it is 'I have', I know how it is 'I must'!
Last nights without you under the stars and artillery fire,
Last nights without you made me lose my way on this spring..
 

Like a little child

In your arms again, again, like a little child
Unfading woman, again, like a little child
 
Never have I forgotten you, never, like a little child
Blurry moonlight, never, like a little child
 
Moon, give me your other side
The breath is just like a saw
Cuts the time and spreads fire and snow to the unsullied silence
 
I was often getting lost away from you, like a little child
 
Ancient wave, ancient expectation
The breath is just like a saw
Cuts the time and spreads fire and snow to the unsullied silence
 
I ask for your love, again, like a little child
Lightsome gazelle, again, like a little child
 
Being surrendered and conditional
The breath is just like a saw
Cuts the time and spreads fire and snow to the unsullied silence
 

Wait for a bit

Versions: #2
Have you forgotten that your heart is cold,
You are a priority
Wait for a bit.
You're on the phone for an hour, what are you talking?
Make me undestand, slowly slowly
Slowly slowly
 
Wait for a bit
The water will come to the shade,
Tarbatatay
Wait for a bit
 
You're telling me to relax
Ah hide me with you
Leave me alone for a bit
 
And we waited, but didn't talk,
We didn't reply not even a bit,
You're on the phone for an hour,
What are you talking?
Make me understand slowly, slowly
Slowly, slowly
 

Nešto protiv da ostanem

Imaš li nešto protiv da ostanem?
Stopiću se sa vazduhom
Oh nikada se nisam osećala ovako usamljeno
 
Imaš li nešto protiv da ostanem?
Ja sam čuvar tvojih noći
Pretvaram tvoju tugu u zlato
 
Da li bi mi otplatio dugove
Jer ja neću uspeti to dok ne ostarim
Možeš li da čitaš moje dimne signale
 
Slušaj univerzum, možda ćeš naći odgovor
Ljubav je ovde i svuda, ne boj se
 
Slušaj univerzum, možda ćeš naći odgovor
Ljubav je ovde i svuda, ne boj se
 
Imaš li nešto protiv da ostanem?
Tvoje lice me proganja
Naći ću odgovore u mojim snovima
 
I dalje sam zaljubljena u tebe
Tvoja ćutnja je prašnjav smrtonosni put
Ko zna u kom pravcu će vetar da duva
 
Slušaj univerzum, možda ćeš naći odgovor
Ljubav je ovde i svuda, ne boj se
 
Slušaj univerzum, možda ćeš naći odgovor
Ljubav je ovde i svuda, ne boj se
 
Ja sam samo čovek izgubljen u svemiru
Koji doziva, nadajući se da će se neko odazvati, neko odazvati
 
Ja sam samo čovek izgubljen u svemiru
Koji doziva, nadajući se da će se neko odazvati, neko odazvati
 
Slušaj univerzum, možda ćeš naći odgovor
Ljubav je ovde i svuda, ne boj se
 
Slušaj univerzum, možda ćeš naći odgovor
Ljubav je ovde i svuda, ne boj se
 
Slušaj univerzum, možda ćeš naći odgovor
Ljubav je ovde i svuda, ne boj se, ne boj se
 

I like all the girls

I like all the girls
I don't find anyone ugly
even if my eyes see them
my heart does pom, pom, pom, pom
 
I like all the girls
for a thing or twenty
when my love feels them
my heart does pom, pom, pom, pom
 
Marisa, your laughter
Consuelo, your hair
Milagros, your lips
Leonor, your love
 
I like all the girls
but you more than any
when under the moonlight
we talk about love, you and I

Armenia

How my heart can be joyful
If my country has wounds
How can my heart simply sing
When Armenia calls for my help
 
Dreams of our hopes, from those dreams the best part left,
Of our mistakes, and of beliefs, lessons left
 
How my heart can be joyful
If my country has wounds
How can my heart simply sing
When Armenia calls for my help
 
For the last time I push this question, push a question of which land do we belong to for so long
It's sad, hard fear, dear God
 
Sirts inchpes, inchpes urax lini
Erp erkirs chariq chariq uni...
Sirts inchpes, hangist hangist erqi
Erp Hayastann im oqnutyan kariq uni
 
How my heart can be joyful
If my country has wounds
How can my heart simply sing
When Armenia calls for my help

I Love You

For all the moments
Without fears or doubts
For all the breaths
I will love you
For all the days
And sleepless nights
For all the affection
I will love you
 
I believe strongly
Nothing is by coincidence in this world
I dream peacefully
With you I fly into the endless distance
And for the many things that you are
I will love you
 
For all the words
Like warm winds
For all the hugs
I will love you
For all the moments
Without fears and doubts
For all of your breaths
I will love you
 
I believe strongly
Nothing is by coincidence in this world
I dream peacefully
With you I fly into the endless distance
And for the many things that you are
I will love you
 
When the tears without end
Merge like a cold downpour
I know you're beside me
I feel immense love
Who gifted you to me
Could it be heavenly powers
Or just a joining
Of blessed destiny
I believe strongly
Nothing is by coincidence in this world
I dream peacefully
With you I fly into the endless distance
And for the many things that you are
I will love you
 
I love you
 

Stay here with me (For dreams)

All day, all night long I was writing to him
that I will never make it happen
He was silent and than maybe i was screaming,
that he forgets overtimes,
that we are team - You and me, just the two of us
that I will never leave you!
 
The invite,
that he send from far away
without stamp and without envelope,
that I took it, torn it - like many times,
just promise me, that you're here,
that you don't want to give up
 
We will fight, we will scream
we will pretend to be best friends
doodle on the bodies,
that we are two angels
we will be laught in rapids,
just stay here with me.
 
All day, all night long I was writing to him,
that I will never forgive him.
The nothing, that I have home now
the silence, that incise in to walls.
And he replied, that he knows that more than I do,
but what about it?
 
We all have our jobs
and in this job we cannot bribe.
But i do not believe in this lies
and you start laughing
and then I know, that you are here
that you dont want to give up
 
We will fight, we will scream
we will pretend to be best friends
doodle on the bodies,
that we are two angels
we will be laught in rapids,
just stay here with me.
 
We will fight, we will scream
we will pretend to be best friends
doodle on the bodies,
that we are two angels
we will be laught in rapids,
just stay here with me.
 
We will fight, we will scream

DISTANCE

(Let me know) Where (are you and) What kind of Sceneries Are you watching?
Following You
I'll do anything anyway
 
To the direction this map is pointing
Tracing your foot prints
Changing this yearning to power
Rock my world baby
 
How long have I been trying
to catch up with you?
Keeping watching that back always going forward
 
Because every time I overcome a long road
I know the meaning of real strength
 
Even if I throw everything I've got
I cannot diminish that distance I have with you...
If I recall
That day, that moment
Let this feeling be delivered to you
 
(Let me know) Where (are you and) What kind of Sceneries Are you watching?
Following You
I'll do anything anyway
 
Someday maybe there will be a time
Somebody will come to chase my back
Even though I won't slow down my pace
Run to you baby
 
Running for that goal I'm aiming at
without turning back
Always just believing that I'm the only one at the top
 
Doesn't matter how many times I still have to go through walls
Because I'll show you I can run through
this road full of thorns
 
Even if I throw everything I've got
I cannot diminish that distance I have with you
If I recall That day, that moment
Let this feeling be delivered to you
 
(Let me know) Where (are you and) What kind of Sceneries Are you watching?
Following You
I'll do anything anyway
 
Believing in the day I will meet you again
I will deliver these feelings I've embraced
To the future
 
Even if I throw everything I've got
I cannot diminish that distance I have with you...
If I recall
That day, that moment
Let this feeling be delivered to you
 
(Let me know) Where (are you and) What kind of Sceneries Are you watching?
Following You
I'll do anything anyway

Date Palm Trees Garden

Now that I' m hurt of your separation,
I recall the night I got to know you,
 
In that summer night,
In a corner of the date palm trees garden,
The moon crescent was visible,
 
The song of the boatman,
Along the coast of Abadan*
Was the language of our love,
 
The foamy wave,
On the chest of the river,
Was exciting,
Was beautiful,
 
As long as I was with you,
The melody of my lute,
My poem and song were self-explanatory,
 
In the night, without you,
O my only hope,
I'm the chat mate of the moon,
I'm the secret shared of the Venus.
 

Wasted

Versions: #2
Sences don't obey
I stumble but you have not appeared yet
Abuses don't help me when I am thinking about you
I accept that I destroy myself
 
Wasted I will be wasted
But I will be still thinking about you
I will be in coma in the morning
I will be seeking for your lips
For one of your kiss
For one of your kiss
And it will be all your fault
 
With all those missing dreams
What is left from me
I will end up somewhere to drink again
I won't be myself anymore
 
Wasted I will be wasted
But I will be still thinking about you
I will be in coma in the morning
I will be seeking for your lips
For one of your kiss
For one of your kiss
And it will be all your fault
 

Armenian Spring

They are so flourishing - the apricot fields,
They are so black - the hair of girls.
So many youngsters, in a stream of dreams,
Left their sunny country for other purpose
 
And now, from the far away lands,
Seeking their home in a dreams,
The find their own selves in their hearts,
Wandering in the fuzzy mists

Love In War

When at the end of the night
You catch sight of sunlight through the smoke
Then you know that you're still alive
And you don't look back
I'm sending you withered roses
That you place down in tears
That save me from the blind hate
That you bear with proud strength
 
[Refrain:]
It is your love in war
That conquers all evil
That works like a miracle
When I'm on the ground
Your love in war
Is all that still counts
When there's nothing left any more
That holds us together
 
When you with your own strength
Retain your worth, don't go down
Then I know once again
Who you are and that you resist everything
You have the power to save me
When I'm having doubts
What is then good and what is evil?
And does all of that really make sense?
 
[Refrain:]
It is your love in war
That conquers all evil
That works like a miracle
When I'm on the ground
Your love in war
Is all that still counts
When there's nothing left any more
That holds us together
 
It is your love in war
That conquers all evil
That works like a miracle
When I'm on the ground
Your love in war
Is all that still counts
When there's nothing left any more
That holds us together
 
It is your love in war
It is your love in war

Izgubljena u Istanbulu

Stajavši na jakoj kiši
Bila sam neko... ko nisam
 
Ledenu hladnoću sledim
Ovaj vetar je poput strele
Odvešće me do tebe
 
Izgubljena sam u Istanbulu
U, nanannana, u, nananana
U, nana, u, nana
Izgubljena sam u Istanbulu
U, nanannana, u, nananana
U, nana, u, nana
Izgubljena sam u Istanbulu
 
Šetam niz ulice prepune ljudi
Na ivici sam razuma
Gradska svetla su utonula u tamu
Tvoja ljubav je sve što želim
 
Ledenu hladnoću sledim
Ovaj vetar je poput strele
Odvešće me do tebe
Ledenu hladnoću sledim
Ovaj vetar je poput strele
Odvešće me do tebe
 
Izgubljena sam u Istanbulu
U, nanannana, u, nananana
U, nana, u, nana
Izgubljena sam u Istanbulu
U, nanannana, u, nananana
U, nana, u, nana
Izgubljena sam u Istanbulu
 
Pokušavam da te pronađem sada
Izgubljena u Istanbulu
Ovde sam zbog tebe
Utučena sam
Možeš li mi izlečiti rane?
Izgubljena u Istanbulu
Ne dam se pronaći
 
Izgubljena sam u Istanbulu
U, nanannana, u, nananana
U, nana, u, nana
Izgubljena sam u Istanbulu
U, nanannana, u, nananana
U, nana, u, nana
Izgubljena sam u Istanbulu
 
Izgubljena sam u Istanbulu...
 

State of Weightlessness

[Verse 1]
A calm start of something great
A dream growing back
It feels like finding his way out
He saw it clearly on the black sky
From the top of the roofs
Perhaps he was meant for more
 
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause all he needs is a state of weightlessness
Before his heavy heart can take off
 
[Chorus]
But please promise me
That you'll end up at the place
Where your heart says
You ought to be
Please promise me
That you'll end up there
 
[Verse 2]
An educated man who found a flaw
The day he looked in the mirror
It goes so well and hurts so much
They say that he remained a boy
When the world grew up
But he'll never go back home
 
[Chorus]
But please promise me
That you'll end up at the place
Where your heart says
You ought to be
Please promise me
That you'll end up there
Promise me that you'll end up at the place
The place where you ought to be
 
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause all he needs is a state of weightlessness
Before his heavy heart can take off
 
[Chorus]
But please promise me
That you'll end up at the place
Where your heart says
You ought to be
Please promise me
That you'll end up there
That you'll end up there
 
[Chorus]
But please promise me
That you'll end up at the place
Where your heart says
You ought to be
Please promise me
That you'll end up there
 
[Outro]
Please promise me
That you'll end up at the place
Where your heart says
You ought to be

The Sea in a Room

Let's pretend that you had an uncommonly good intelligence
and you were a good electrician
Let's pretend that we were far from the tangential
and that I was a tennis player
Let's pretend that you were the prince
and I was Scheherazade and we spent
the thousand and one nights1
Let's pretend that you saved me from tigers and crocodiles, but
that you didn't forget the milk
Let's pretend that I never thought
of escaping
 
Let's pretend that we are
what we are
with the sea in a room
and us who love each other
and that we give each other
the best part of ourselves
of ourselves...
 
Let's pretend that I believe
that you're good at math
even if the bills don't get back to me
Let's pretend that I was
an exceptional cook and you
didn't throw the chicken to the cats,
that you never needed
the GPS but
you never missed the exit
Let's pretend that if we weren't
beach buddies2, you
wouldn't have ever found me
Let's pretend that I never thought of escaping
 
Let's pretend that we are
what we are
with the sea in a room
and us who love each other
and that we give each other
the best part of ourselves
of ourselves...
 
Let's pretend that we are
what we are
with the sea in a room
and us who love each other
and that we give each other
the best part of ourselves
of ourselves...
 
Let's pretend that we are
what we are
with the sea in a room
and us who love each other
and that we give each other
the best part of ourselves
the best part of ourselves
the best part of ourselves
of ourselves...

Transparent

At the edge of twilight I fell asleep
like a foreigner (alas!)* like a foreign body like forever a stranger
And there came and sat upon me like a bed sheet
all of the ground's dust.*
All of the ground's dust.
 
And there came in turn the black sea
she brought an ungovernable ship drifting
I rose like a wind, I rose like a thief,
don't you see the lie?
The lie, don't you see it?
 
Leaning at the ship's bow, a transparent man
is counting the bones, remains speechless
César Vallejo*, he eats the stones like bread
i have no other brother.
I have no other brother.
 
The cigarette is sparking at every puff
Spain is sinking* and the only one who wins
(is) the pleasure that gives birth to us, who plays our card
beyond our will.
Beyond our will.
 
At the edge of twilight you don't see any dreams
you see what has happened and what is to follow
You see the man being small and (you see) his own feet truly stepping on him
his own feet.
His own feet.
 

If you stay here

Everything I said I didn't want to hurt
Forgot for a while everything that once were good
Only you and I maybe felt fear
Live for a while and give you from my life
 
Are you crying
When you're standing left alone
 
If you stay here and waits for me
We will meet again in another world
If you stay here another moment
 
In another time, in another world
Another world
Another world
 
Wakes up again from that dream
where you were close
Over and over again (and again) I feel your breath
Everything that we said and mistakes that we did
Maybe you and I meet again one day
 
When i know (when I know)
Which way to ramble (way to ramble)
 
If you stay here and waits for me
We'll meet in another world
If you stay here another moment
 
In another time, in another world
Another world
Another world
 
If you stay here and waits for me
We'll meet in another world
 
If you stay here another moment
In another time, in another world
 
If you stay here and waits for me
We'll meet in another world
 
If you stay here another moment
 
In another time, in another world
Another world
Another world
If you stay here
 

The Parting

The parting - sad estrangement,
The pain of strange land toil,
For no one loves a vagrant
Except the mother-soil.
- The vagrant song.
 
There are the folks who're destined to be vagrants:
A stranger always, everywhere I go.
I'm driven by erratic dream engagements,
Mercurial like a running water flow.
 
The cities flash before my eyes, depart
Along with towns and boroughs full of anguish.
But I have never met, oh, dear heart,
My own anticipation, doomed to languish.
 
Estrangement! Wake of someone else's boat!
The urge of waves to those unlike the others.
Yes, I'm a vagrant, trampling fields like goat.
 
And, tired of repeating things all over,
I'm dropping to the ground and crying. My Lord!
For no one loves me like the wet soil coat!

Stop Dawn

Stop dawn, stop dawn
stop, don't break up
in the dark night, my eyes
secretly cried

Stop dawn, stop dawn
stop, don't break up
in the dark night, my eyes
secretly cried
 
Stop dawn, stop dawn
stop, don't break up

that I love him in my dream
 
I still love him
like on the first day
stop dawn
that I dream of him a bit more

stop dawn

Trance

I need you tonight
More urgently than ever before
I had a bad day
Fix me, I am bad
Everything mine is white tonight
A suit, a range rover and a gold
I have never sold a kilo
But I feel like Sosa1
 
Oh yeah yeah yeah
It's a shame
That you've been doing this to me for days
And you cause me hundreds of suffering
You're not naive
Why are you doing that?
It's not normal
And I'm even worse
I wouldn't do anything moral
 
Throw me in a trance
I got used to it
I know that I have no chance
My evil Barbie doll (2x)
 
That babe is being turned on
And she's not a timid girl
Her face of glamour
One more tour is coming
Cocaine and vodka in a bottle excite her
Every night is an adventure for her
There's no censorship
She's filming, posting everything
She's pushing people in the club
She's staggering drunk
Even triggers are being pulled because of her
 
Everything mine is white tonight
A suit, a range rover and a gold
I have never sold a kilo
But I feel like Sosa1
 
Oh yeah yeah yeah
It's a shame
That you've been doing this to me for days
And you cause me hundreds of suffering
You're not naive
Why are you doing that?
It's not normal
And I'm even worse
I wouldn't do anything moral
 
Throw me in a trance
I got used to it
I know that I have no chance
My evil Barbie doll (2x)

Istanbul

Our mother is crying Istanbul
we went to get drunk this night again
With our friends, we're left with no shore
on the table there's plenty of raki* and garden rocket
 
Give me your hands Istanbul
Let's take a boat, let our chimney smell of cigarettes
If after a while they pocketknife us
let them not touch us
 
What's beyond the night is far
A little sill in the front of the boat.
My Sardine is mad at me crying
the man can't hold it anymore he's crying
can't hold it anymore even Istanbul is crying.
