Richer Than A King

Too much money doesn't make me happy
too much money weighs heavily like lead,
because you can't buy what really counts
and so I guess it's all the same to me.
Too much money just leads to buying
and so I guess it's all the same to me.
 
I'm the master of my own fortune,1
what do I need of goods and money,
throw everything out the window,
it continues on this way in the world.
 
I am richer than a king,
let the moon be my silver,
yes, the sun and the stars,
for me, they're gold and gemstones.
Because freedom weighs more to me,
than all the riches in this world,
let's dance, let's live,
under the vast heavens.
 
Too much money just leads to envy,
who can you even trust,
false friends, all the flatterers,
Yes, hypocrisy and dread creep in.

New Shores

Dusty roads, no land in sight,
I see your eyes, I see your face,
we keep running, dancing and screaming,
this moment will never be like this again.
 
We sing like fire, dancing shadows,
howling wind, whistling rats,
a strange song that nobody knows
that burns every doubt forever.
 
Drink my heart empty, everything lived to the fullest,
I've woven your grief into dreams,
let's forget, let's not lose anything else,
before we turn to stone and freeze to death.
 
We set out for new shores,
as the world keeps turning further,
we set out for new shores,
because it's never too late,
we set out for new shores,
the rain whips us in the face,
we set out for new shores,
on the horizon, there is land in sight.
 
Nothing to lose, hunted and hounded,
all our eggs in one basket,1
addicted to freedom, the madness in view,
don't turn around, there's no going back.

At The Cliffs

It ate you up, the cold sea,
now you are free and white like snow,
she took you into her bosom,
she holds you tight and will never let you go.
 
Hear how the surf roars and screams,
the fiddle screeches my loneliness
and spits the salty sea in my face,
it foams and hisses, the white spray.
 
There, where the sea kisses the cliffs,
I wait there for you,
there, where the white clouds drift,
I want to stand across from you.
 
I rip my heart in two for you
And dark dreams drift past,
the black birds above me
are like a last greeting from you.
 
There, where the sea kisses the cliffs,
I wait there for you,
there, where the white clouds drift,
I want to stand across from you.
 
There, where the sea kisses the cliffs,
I wait there for you,

I want to stand across from you.

Who We Are

We have, at every feast,
turned night into day.
We stole the leftovers at the end
and laughed about it.
 
There was nothing to lose,
the world was like a dirty rag,
we wanted to risk everything,
the freedom both a blessing and a curse.
 
And we went on the journey
in a long-lost land,
on the hunt and on the lookout,
our fate in our hands.
 
Who knows, who even knows, who we are,
only the wind knows the truth,
who knows, who knows, who can understand,
where we've come from, where we're going.
 
The hearts soaked up
with dark tobacco juice
and spat out into the waves
of the drunken black night
 
We swore
to stand together
and to
go this way together.
 
And we went on the journey
in a long-lost land,
on the hunt and on the lookout,
our fate in our hands.
 
Who knows, who even knows, who we are,
only the wind knows the truth,
who knows, who knows, who can understand,
where we've come from, where we're going. [x3]
 

House in Front of the Cemetery

This house is mine
You all should have stayed out
There is no way out now
Here there is only anger and rancor
 
On the floor where you step on
Too much blood was spilled
It is cursed
And I fed on this pain
 
It was in this house where I was born
Where I've spent my life, where I died
I will not let anyone else come
And think that is the owner of the place
I will never tolerate
I'm angry at whoever enters here
I hate whoever enters here
I'm sick of whoever enters here
 
The house was built
In front of the old cemetery
Dead barren soil
I want it to continue like this
 
I have never felt sorry
For any of the old residents
I made them go through horrors
They had a dreadful end
 
It was in this house where I was born
Where I've spent my life, where I died
I will not let anyone else come
And think that is the owner of the place
I will never tolerate
I'm angry at whoever enters here
I hate whoever enters here
I'm sick of whoever enters here
 
It was in this house where I was born

Slaughterhouse 18

The neighbors in the area would be surprised if they ever knew
That at the back of the slaughterhouse 18, things like this happen
The police arrive, investigate, don't find anything, don't even suspect
That there are people locked downstairs for days
 
How many more will fall
By the well of the slaughterhouse 18, it's impossible to leave the cold chamber
Some are then found on the river bank
But most simply disappeared
 
Those who already know today live in the shadow of fear
They will never say anything, they will keep it a secret
Even with all the deaths there will always be an unsuspecting
Who decides to spend the night camping in the lake
 
How many more will fall
By the well of the slaughterhouse 18, it's impossible to leave the cold chamber
There is a creek nearby that was good for fishing
Today the water is turbid and muddy, no one else goes there
 
How many more will fall
By the well of the slaughterhouse 18, it's impossible to leave the cold chamber
At night you hear the muffled noise of the incinerator
And the smell that comes with the smoke reveals a night of horror
 

As the Voices Said

That day I started to hear the voices
That told me things about my destiny
From the day that I would become
From an ordinary subject to a systematic killer
 
I waited, as the voices said
For the sign of the end of our time
And then I went through the revealed message
Just at the entrance to a large parking lot
 
I didn't really understand all the voices
I barely understood what the goal was
However, so fast that one speaks
I filled the trunk of the car with the explosives
 
I parked, as the voices said
On the side, next to the cinema doors
I felt sorry for the imported cars
But the voices guaranteed that it would be worth it
 
And suddenly all the voices ceased
As if they had never existed
Relief that would be memorable
If I were not responsible for a destroyed mall
 
And since then I've never heard the voices
But I doubt it will change my luck
My future is somewhat uncertain
From here I head straight for the death row
 

Coal, Sulfur and Saltpeter

There is no lack of judges who condemn us
As well as search warrants
They make clear the fear they feel
Even our shadow scares them
 
Just because we robbed your banks
Because we squander your goods
Because we blew up the bridges
And derailed your trains
 
But there is no wall that can separate us
There is no prison that can hold us
There is no saint who can forgive us
Not a devil who can put up with us
 
We are like dirty water that there is no process that can filter
Together we are coal, sulfur and saltpeter
Together we have dirty hands that there is no confession that can absolve
With any pressure, it's natural to explode
 
There is no routine for the fugitive
There is no totally safe place
Who needs to fight to be alive
Sees better in the dark
 
The sound of so many deaths echoes
Throughout so many years of struggle
The ammunition we use is good
And goodwill is very short
 
But there is no wall that can separate us
There is no prison that can hold us
There is no saint who can forgive us
Not a devil who can put up with us
 
We are like dirty water that there is no process that can filter
Together we are coal, sulfur and saltpeter
Together we have dirty hands that there is no confession that can absolve
With any pressure, it's natural to explode
 

You're going to stay

I know that it was because of me that this story ended
And it stays in the back of my mind
That during the nights that I could see you
Why did I never admit being in love
I always knew and I never said a thing
My heart wanted to find itself
 
They'll say that I'm crazy
If I'm crazy it's because you're in my head
I wanted to make myself forget your mouth
And now my mouth will say that yes you return
 
You're going to stay
Because I swear to you that this time I'm going to take of care of you
Our story is still missing a part two
Although they tell us that this never goes well
You are going to stay
I'll do everything to fall in love with you again
I'm afraid because I could never replace you
And if you try I promise that this time
You're going to stay
 
I got you used to being repentant
I continue waiting for the day
That you decide to return to see me
Why did I never admit to being in love
I always knew and I never said a thing
I wanted to scream it and I never said a thing
 
They'll say that I'm crazy
If I'm crazy it's because you're in my head
I wanted to make myself forget your mouth
And now my mouth will say that yes you return
 
You're going to stay
Because I swear to you that this time I'm going to take of care of you
Our story is still missing a part two
Although they tell us that this never goes well
You are going to stay
I'll do everything to fall in love with you again
I'm afraid because I could never replace you
And if you try I promise that this time
You're going to stay
 
Because although I know that I lost you, I will go look for you
And I know that I won't sleep until I find you
I promised my heart to see you again
 
You're going to stay
And I will do everything to fall in love with you again
I'm afraid because I could never replace you (no, oh)
And if you try, I promise you that this time
You're going to stay
You're going to stay
 
Enjoy all

Љубав и разумевање

Овде, на овом свету,
Куда идемо,
Где се можемо вратити,
Када нам је потребно мало љубави,
Изгледа да је не можемо пронаћи
Где, где се налазимо
Када оно што добијемо не одговара ономе што тражимо
 
Имамо довољно звезда да обасјају небо у ноћи,
Довољно сунца да обасја цео свет,
И имамо га више него довољно,
Али нам једне ствари никада није довољно
 
Није нам довољно љубави и разумевања
Можемо искористити љубав да олакшамо тешка времена
Није нам довољно љубави и разумевања, о, зашто, зашто, зашто
 
Проводимо све своје време
Градећи зграде до неба
Тражимо све осим онога што нам највише треба
Срце никада не може победити
О, у тој трци
У тој трци у којој учествујемо
 
Имамо довољно аутомобила да нас возе око света
Довољно авиона да нас одведу било где
Имамо их више него довољно
Али нам једне ствари никада није довољно
 
Није нам довољно љубави и разумевања
Можемо искористити љубав да олакшамо тешка времена
Није нам довољно љубави и разумевања, о, зашто, зашто, зашто
 
Није нам довољно љубави и разумевања
Можемо искористити љубав да олакшамо тешка времена
Није нам довољно љубави и разумевања, о, зашто, зашто, зашто
 
Потребно нам је мало разумевања
Потребно нам је мало више љубави,
Мало љубави и разумевања,
Довољно звезда да обасјају небо у ноћи,
Довољно сунца да обасја цео свет,
Довољно срца да открије мало љубави у нама,
Имамо их више него довољно
Али нам једне ствари никада није довољно
 

The Kids Are Doing Well

I keep up with my time, concentrated like a boxer
It will be the weight of my karma or my fortune
With a guitar and a bouquet of distorted flowers in my hand
To make peace with the world of confines and passports
Of ghosts on boats, and of boats without a port
 
As a commander who agrees to the dirty game wants,
Where we all walk with our heads folded by now,
And our fingers on a screen that fills our days
But it doesn't work for me
To pick up my years from the dust
 
I want a dream to dream and I want to laugh
It doesn't work for me
I don't have time to shine, I want to explode
For life is a poetry of unique stories
 
And then finding yourself here again, always more confused and alone
As long as by now there is no more time to be cruel
And meanwhile go, go for we're going into these starry nights
With my heart held in my hand and with cuts on my skin
 
But the kids are in the street, the kids are doing well
They don't listen to advice and they have fire in their veins
They'll scale the mountains and they'll admire the planes
What is freedom? I believe it's no longer being afraid
Of crying tonight, of damaging the atmosphere
And to resemble those like me
 
It doesn't work for me
To let myself abandon, to have to get used to
To have to be happy with
The gravity above us
 
From a heaven that has no pity
Pieces of life that you don't want to lose
Days spent partying and others in tears
But I've seen the dawn and it gives me chills, chills
 

Our souls at night

So many lies we told each other, darling
So many words to forget
And continuing to deny it is only a weakness
Being distant from each other is never the end
If you're brave enough to start over
But it's not easy when you lose the complicity
And now we're here
Eye to eye, without hiding places
Without defending our mistakes anymore
Or defying each other
And it will end like this
And maybe it's what we both want
But I understand it from the way you look at me that after all you know
We can never lose each other
And the more I look at you, the more I see the best part of us
But now it's useless to delude ourselves
There's no need to pretend to be strong, and after all you know
That our souls at night...
So many lies we told each other, darling
And it's not easy to forget
That those unfinished sentences hide the truth
And now we're here
And we're naked for the first time
Without being afraid of making a choice and end up never choosing
We can never lose each other
And the more I look at you, the more I see the best part of us
But now it's useless to delude ourselves
There's no need to pretend to be strong, and after all you know
Our souls at night
Are clearer than ever
Are clearer than ever
Ever
I could leave behind the best part of us
But now it's useless to delude ourselves
There's no need to pretend to be strong, and after all you know
Our souls at night
Will never lose each other

Get In

Get ready,
the wind has turned
and no one really knows
where this journey will go.
Open the window for me
and let the night inside,
extinguish the light one last time,
it will be nothing like it was before.
 
Don't waste any tears,
feel the power within you,
no matter where it takes us,
we live in the here and now.
 
Get in, leave everything behind you,
don't stay here any longer,
get out and you'll see
it'll continue on much further.
 
Jump in, lose the fear of yourself,
soon you'll understand me
Get in, it'll continue on much further.
 
Come on and leave the time
and all the lies behind you,
forget the sadness,
we're getting out of here.
 
Yes, the world has forgotten us,
we've got nothing left to lose,
the pain has eaten us up,
don't let my heart freeze over.
 
Get in, leave everything behind you,
don't stay here any longer,
get out and you'll see
it'll continue on much further.
 
Jump in, lose the fear of yourself,
soon you'll understand me
Get in, it'll continue on much further.

Hey, captain Petko

Hey, captain Petko1,
Hey, commander Petko,

Come on, Petko, leave
This damn rebellion.
(This damn rebellion)
 
From this damn rebellion
Your mother is sick and tired.
Your mother is sick and tired
(Your mother is sick and tired )
To bake bread in the days
(To bake bread in the days)
 
To wash shirts in the nights,
To give shelter to the heroes
(To give shelter to the heroes)
Hey, captain Petko
Hey, commander Petko,

Whiskey For A Damned

Quick waiter, bring me your best whiskey
This friend of yours here has only half an hour left
Until the Devil finds out I've died
And come to take me away
 
Sorry waiter for the rush
But I have no other way out
That's all my money
Bring me everything in drink
 
The little time I have left
May it be well spent
I don't want to party
But I want to be drunk
 
Quick waiter, bring me your best whiskey
This friend of yours here has only half an hour left
Until the Devil finds out I've died
And come to take me away
 
Nothing I take from life
What I have is what's in my car
My twenty best friends
Are in a pack of cigarettes
 
Goodbye, my good friend.
Goodbye and thank you.
I hope to drink with you
In the bar that is there on the other side
 
Quick waiter, bring me your best whiskey
This friend of yours here has only half an hour left
Until the Devil finds out I've died
And come to take me away
 
Quick waiter, bring me your best whiskey
This friend of yours here has only half an hour left
Until the Devil finds out I've died
And come to take me away
 
Quick waiter, bring me your best whiskey
This friend of yours here has only half an hour left
Until the Devil finds out I've died...
 

When You Drink Too Much

Monday, the day of the professional drinker
When night falls, he will fall into evil
There will ever be a good reason for those who want to have fun
No need of moment or occasion
Every day is the day, just call and he goes
Everything that is not good will certainly make life happier
 
You know how it ends
When you drink too much
Anything and you fight and scold
And have no respect for anyone else
Then you end up broken
And wake up with the dog licking
But I know you'll do it all over again
Before dinner time
 
Known at work as a 'I'll be right back'
Everyone knows where is the 'right there'
What a serious matter is this you have to solve
When he comes back comes the breath to denounce him
With that face you need not to explain
And the head of the section, already very pissed, wanting to hit him
 
You know how it ends
When you drink too much
Anything and you fight and scold
And have no respect for anyone else
Then you end up broken
And wake up with the dog licking
But I know you'll do it all over again
Before dinner time
 
But speaking of the devil, look who has arrived
Accompanied by a nice depression
We were just talking ill about you
Because if when you're happy it's hard to hold
Full of trouble this way is going to be damn harder
It's not cool, my friend, but I have an obligation to tell you
 
You know how it ends
When you drink too much
Anything and you fight and scold
And have no respect for anyone else
Then you end up broken
And wake up with the dog licking
But I know you'll do it all over again
Before dinner time
 

To your body's palaces

Since I was a child they kept telling me
you don't live into a fairytale
princesses and princes
don't live in the same house.
 
But I never listened to
what others said
scumbag they called me
and stubborn.
 
To god you send me
and from hell you take me
when I look at you
(in fear) of loosing you how scared I am.
To god you send me
my mind you con
into your hidden paths
to your body's palaces
into your hidden paths
to your body's palaces.
 
And now that I grew up
I found the meaning
colour was given to my life
and got imagination.
 
Even if it was never written
from the world's books
the fairytale became
a true story.
 
To god you send me
and from hell you take me
when I look at you
(in fear) of loosing you how scared I am.
To god you send me
my mind you con
into your hidden paths
to your body's palaces
into you hidden paths
to your body's palaces.
 

Upalite svetla

Hej, svi vi grešnici
Upalite svetla, upalite svetla
Hej, svi vi ljubavnici
Upalite svetla, upalite svetla
 
Hej, ubice
Upalite svetla, upalite svetla
Hej, dečice
Ostavite upaljena svetla, bolje vam je da ostanu upaljena
 
Jer ispod mog kreveta živi čudovvište
Šapuće mi na uvo
A anđeo me miluje po glavi
Kaže da se nemam čega bojati
 
U duši mojoj živi tama
Još uvek imam neki svoj cilj
Osvetlite moju jazbinu
Bože, ne daj da izgubim živce
Ne daj da izgubim živce
 
Hej sada, hej sada, hej sada
Hej sada, hej sada, hej sada
 
Hej, svi vi grešnici
Upalite svetla, upalite svetla
Hej, dečice
Ostavite upaljena svetla, bolje vam je da ostanu upaljena
 
Jer ispod mog kreveta živi čudovvište
Šapuće mi na uvo
A anđeo me miluje po glavi
Kaže da se nemam čega bojati
 
Kaže
La la la hey la la
Svi sijamo poput zvezda
La la la hey la la
Svi sijamo poput zvezda
Then we fade away
 

Promises

I'm gonna go home
Powerful for a saying,
That it's the last time
 
The morning light arises
 
And you, and you, and you, and you!
You never asked much
Of yourself, yourself
You did not take the time.
Promises.
 
All intentions to wake up early,
On a Sunday morning.
Just like ice,
They melt in alcohol.
 
You were dancing there,
As elegant as before.
But I want to join in,
For a better tomorrow.
 
And you, and you, and you, and you!
You never asked much
Of yourself, yourself
You did not take the time.
Promises.
 
Let's go tomorrow, yeah
Get ready
Let's get going now
Before it's kept from us.
 
We always lied to ourselves,
Losing a lot of time
For promises that go on.
 
We always lied to ourselves,
Because we never meant our promises.

Moonlight dance

Alone, in the yard of a house
I'm following the noise of footsteps
A door is being shut upon you somewhere.
The scrap of your voice is circulating in my ear
Who may float upon the charms of your body, to whom do you give
The key of your passion?
 
Loneliness returns my greeting
On the crampy rack of my memories
A display manikin is embracing me.
I don't enjoy your touch
Looking towards your face, I ask:
Whose is the smile of your image over my bed?
 
Let me see the dance of the Moonlight once again
Through your eyes
Come to me one night, and cling close to me.
Let me feel the play of the Moon!
So, come for me once again!
 
Love on the bench of the coffee house
Love on the stage of my past
After the memory of the hopeless play.
Maybe the absence of your answer
Will set me free on a heated night
Comforts and covers
Everything that might hurt.
 
Let me see the dance of the Moonlight once again
Through your eyes
Come to me one night, and cling close to me.
Let me feel the play of the Moon!
So, come for me once again!
 

Dance of Death

Corpses:
Oh, ghostly night, oh mighty power,
Which has awakened us from the deadly dream!
Oh, power which put our bones, rotten insides
In this mad move!
 
Ghostly night, powerful power,
What awakened us from the dead dream!
Power, bones, rotten guts
Ours have made you crazy!
 
Corpses:
Bony fingers, corpse eyes
Bony guts, corpse laughter
A hideous nightmare
Disgusting vision
Madness, macabre
Cursed horror
 
Maria:
In the midst of these horrifying phantoms, one face passes throug ,
Black flash of those two eyes, I have seen them somewhere today.
Owl hoots again and again, what could this be a sign of?
Of unbearable pain is this bird a herald for me.
 
Corpses:
Come into our arms
Share fate with us
Come into our arms
ruthless
We do not want to rot
We do not want to decay
To rest alone in this well
 
Corpses:
We were as beautiful as you, young and tempting.
Now look at us! What a change!
Beauty soon escapes us when death comes.
Her sisters precede her: torment and suffering.
 
Corpses:
Look at those nasty corpses, look at these bones,
Which were once the shapes of real beauties.
Now they are spoiling in this shaft, poisoning water
In the well, which for us has become a tomb.
 
Corpses:
Dance with us here, around the well,
The dance of death, the death of those who have already died.
Together with us, you will dance each night.
For ever, at the bottom of the well, you shall find your shelter.
 

The Bar Call

11:50
 
I can only say one thing.
HOLY SHIT, HANGAR!
Because one day ... one day I will die.
And all my widows will wonder
In that terribly irritating voice.
 
But why did he drink so much? Why did he smoke so much?
I'll be lying in my coffin.
WITH A FUCKING HARD COCK!
Thinking: I owe nothing to anyone.
I'll drink if I want.
 
Because my life is mine. And fuck your life
 
The Bar Call!
 
Hot, stinking day, no reason.
I can not even think what to do ...
Behold, all of a sudden I see everything improving,
As if I could hear the glass call me!
 
Come to the bar, come to the bar, come to the bar!
Come to the bar, come to the bar, come to the bar!
 
I owe nothing to anyone,
I'll drink if I want.
My life is mine,
And fuck your life.
 
Hot, stinking day, no reason.
I can not even think what to do ...
Behold, all of a sudden I see everything improving,
As if I could hear the glass call me!
 
Come to the bar, come to the bar, come to the bar!
Come to the bar, come to the bar, come to the bar!
 
I owe nothing to anyone,
I'll drink if I want.
My life is mine,
And fuck your life.
 
Come to the bar, come to the bar, come to the bar!
Come to the bar, come to the bar, come to the bar!
 

Saloon Table

8:42
 
First day out of the state jail
She that I meet right at the door waiting for me
In a convertible with a running engine
That she had just robbed
Back on the road, today is celebration
A pack of cigarettes and a bottle of gin
Leaving the city she parked and said:
'Wait here for me.'
 
Strange moves and shootout
A bag of money falls into the back seat
Now it's two more hours without stepping on the brake
Full tank, hit the gas, they won't catch us anymore
 
This fate that deceived me again
My first day of freedom started
With me on the run again
 
It was at a bar table that I met her
Right in the middle of the saloon I fell in love
And the next morning I discovered
With her I can no longer live within the law
 
It's been a long time since I've seen the sunset
It would be better without so much siren behind me
It's been a long time since I've seen the confusion
Getting ugly like this
And all the time one more enters at the chase
For almost four days driving without sleep
And even with the road blocked
She does not stop smiling
 
Passing by the gas station
Amid a leak in the gas pipe
I'll miss those girl eyes
The burning cigarette butt flies back there
My watch the minute it stopped
It has been found so far from where I am
With her alone with no one else
 
It was at a bar table that I met her
Right in the middle of the saloon I fell in love
And the next morning I discovered
With her I can no longer live within the law
 

Litany

More mature than our fathers, when they were our age
hopeless their path we walk in spite
at times weaker than dust we hold storms
and raise statues to forgotten culture
at times tougher than rock and like rock unfeeling
we avoid looking at pavement ripped for throwing
broader than sages we hide thought for later
We call orders – mercy and enlightenment – darkness
More worthy than kings from low mud
we challenge blind forces of history
but wiser than chiefs, with faces hung
we hand them daily their rusted stirrup
More mortal than flowers, we raise for harvest
as scythes moves in, and gleanings sell out
More just than judges in high tribunal
with learned calm we take judgment
More ruthless than executioners, at last great and singular
we talk on scaffold with heads cut off
 

It's So Good That You Are

It’s a fortuity of my being:
and then, the happiness in this heart of mine
is stronger than me, stronger than my bones,
that you crush in your embrace –
ever so painful, ever so divine.
 
Let’s talk, let’s speak, let’s utter words,
long and glassy, like chisels that separate
the cold river from the delta’s hot curves,
day from night, slate from slate.
 
Happiness, take me on high and slam
my brow against the moon,
until my world, overlong and in excess,
may turn into a column or something
much higher, something soon.
 
It’s so good that you are, so wondrous that I am!
Two different songs, colliding, intertwining,
two colours that never met before,
one from down below, turned toward the ground,
the other from high above, almost torn
in this unseen before fiery storm
of the wonder that you are, and the fortuity that I am.

Saturday Dances

As a rock star in 1970's Kainuu [=a region in Finland]
Hundreds of gigs and a bit of piss in my head
I was already a tough guy in class pictures
And nowadays I'm somewhere even higher
That summer we drove around in a Saab and looked at the stars
 
I was living life too fast then
I quit school and got to smell the roadside ditch
I had rock 'n' roll and the clothes of a hippie
Red hair and fans
So I did attract men
But I was no Princess '65 [=Finnish cultural reference]
 
Was it worth it to fall in love with me?
Everyone loves me, after all!
I don't even know what love is
But I know how to push the button
It's not worth it to be together with me
It's not worth it to be together with me
 
When you get to taste the disgusting life
Back then, they played rock on loud here, too
I rose up to the chart of stars
I got into the programming of Saturday Dances [=a TV show]
The starry night is a short way away from the ground
Like a wedding ring is from the bottom of a ditch
 
Was it worth it to fall in love with me?
Everyone loves me, after all!
I don't even know what love is
But I know how to push the button
It's not worth it to be together with me
It's not worth it to be together with me
 
Was it worth it to fall in love with me?
Everyone loves me, after all!
I don't even know what love is
But I know how to push the button
It's not worth it to be together with me
It's not worth it to be together with me
 

And It's Raining Stars

You broke my branch
The sky is like a veil,
A satin veil now burning in my hand
My body is not answering
It's gone past the limit
And is meekly collapsing into your kingdom
And it's raining stars, and
Who follows them, poetry
The wise sky is singing
That life is mine alone
The sunken ships
The lost nets
I've had my share of storms, too
But playing on the pier
You alone of all my playmates
Have blown into my heart
And without any made-up moons,
Without crying or lashings,
Love was what I reaped
I bore the waves,
All sails set,
Tonight I've been drinking, too
My wooden body
Has been consumed by you
Now ashes fly away with your breathing
I've found a nest in you
My fears that I've been hiding
For years, like pearls
Inside a veil
And it's raining stars, and
Who follows them, poetry
The wise sky is singing
That life is mine alone
The sunken ships
The lost nets
I've had my share of storms, too
But playing on the pier
You alone of all my playmates
Have blown into my heart
And without any made-up moons,
Without crying or lashings,
Love was what I reaped
 

Distant words

Like air you'll breathe me
On the day I'm hiding you
In phrases you won't hear
Because your mistake was loving me as if
Tomorrow the world would be the same as yesterday
 
Now let me believe that this is real
Because I feel the anxiety that rises, I drink the bitter tears
Please let me lose myself in the water of the sea
Because the distant words, I swear I want to shout them
 
Because I feel you far away, far away from me
Because I feel you far away, far away from me
Because I feel you far away, far away from me
Because I feel you far away
 
Time will burn all paper that mentions you
You'll cry with me under the sun, then it'll pour down
To carry away the probably useless sentences
We'll sing together, but remaining silent
 
Now, take me home because the winter scares me, and my legs are giving up.
You can't see how much I'm freezing.
Marlena, take me home because you smile is wonderful
But you know that if I lose you, I'll never walk a metre again.
 
Because I feel you far away, far away from me
Because I feel you far away, far away from me
Because I feel you far away, far away from me
Because I feel you far away
 
Because I feel you far away, far away from me
Because I feel you far away, far away from me
Because I feel you far away, far away from me
Because I feel you far away
 
Like air you'll breathe me
On the day I'm hiding you
In phrases you won't hear
 

you told me you're leaving so you can become an immigrant

You told me you're leaving so you become an immigrant
a Wednesday night in a foreign land
and you were broken glass
and star scattered in a small yard
 
Like a candle that lights my life you burn
Left me alone in the slopes
and became a night my whole life
our rebetika (a genre of songs for the common people ) groans
 
You told me you're leaving so you become an immigrant
a Wednesday night in a foreign land
and left a bitter scar
a danm life without change
 

Titanik

U bioskopu sam držala tvoju ruku,
dok je veliki brod tonuo u okean.
Plakali smo, uzeo si mi ruku
i pitao me: šta bi ti radila?
 
Kada bismo na Titaniku bili
Tada bih sa tobom potonula
Dok gudački orkestar svoju poslednju himnu svira.
Kada bismo na Titaniku bili
Jutro i zemlju vise ne videli
Tada bismo saznali, kako se prava ljubav oseti.
 
Nakon stotinu godina o nama bi se pričalo
S tobom bih bila kraljica sveta
Iako bi ledeni breg naša sudbina postala
Znam, da se našoj sreći ništa ne bi desilo.
 
Kada bismo na Titaniku bili
Tada bih sa tobom potonula
Dok gudački orkestar svoju poslednju himnu svira.
Kada bismo na Titaniku bili
Jutro i zemlju vise ne videli
Tada bismo saznali, kako se prava ljubav oseti.
 
Čak i kada bi me života koštalo, nema veze
Tolika ljubav ne bi postojala drugi put.
 
Kada bismo na Titaniku bili
Tada bih sa tobom potonula
Dok gudački orkestar svoju poslednju himnu svira.
Kada bismo na Titaniku bili
Tada bih sa tobom potonula
Dok gudački orkestar svoju poslednju himnu svira.
Kada bismo na Titaniku bili
Jutro i zemlju vise ne videli
Tada bismo saznali, kako se prava ljubav oseti
Tada bismo saznali, kako se prava ljubav oseti.
