Wishing Stone

I picture the whole history
Where is my love, where am I
What was our sin, we are over like this
My ego got lost, what happened to me
 
My blues overflow me
A thousand times I reproached to fate and still not enough
To wet eyes that have forgotten to smile
Bring some news from happiness
Wishing stone
 
A dreaming storm in my head
Whichever side I turn, it is on my face
All hope is stranger to me now
What I became looking for her/him
 
My blues overflow me
A thousand times I reproached to fate and still not enough
To wet eyes that have forgotten to smile
Bring some news from happiness
Wishing stone

The Mardi Gras Song of Basile

Captain:
Captain, captain,
Wave your flag and move your group along.
 
Chorus:
All round about the hub. 
 
Captain:
The road is great, 
the night is long,
and women aren't invited.
It's Mardi Gras,
it just once a year
to ask for charity.
Once a year,
it's not too often
for you anyway.
 
Chorus:
It's hip, it's hip, it's hop,
and my dear fellow.
It's hip, it's hip, it's hop,
and my dear fellow.
 
Captain:
It's the Mardi Gras
It comes from far
It comes from England.
 
Chorus:
All round about the hub.
 
Captain:
It's the Mardi Gras
It's all the good young people,
The good young people that
Come from good families.
 
Chorus:
All round about the hub.
 
Captain:
They are not troublemakers.
They're just beggars.
 
Chorus:
It's hip, it's hip, it's hop,
and my dear fellow.
It's hip, it's hip, it's hop,
and my dear fellow.
 
Captain:
The Mardi Gras
Asks the mistress,
The mistress for
a small fat hen
and rice or fat.
 
Chorus:
All round about the hub
To make their giant gumbo
tonight in Grand Basile.
 
Chorus:
It's hip, it's hip, it's hop,
and my dear fellow.
It's hip, it's hip, it's hop,
and my dear fellow.
 
Captain:
You would promise me this,
You would promise me that,
but you won't give it to me.
 
Chorus:
All round about the hub.
It's hip, it's hip, it's hop,
and my dear fellow.
It's hip, it's hip, it's hop,
and my dear fellow.
 
Captain:
Captain, captain
The savages,
they can sing no longer
because their throat is dry.
 
Chorus:
All round about the hub.
 
Captain:
A good small cold beer 
would make them sing better.
 
Chorus:
It's hip, it's hip, it's hop,
and my dear fellow.
It's hip, it's hip, it's hop,
and my dear fellow
 

My eyes

Hey if you sometime go looking for me
Ask the sad people, they know me
Hey if you want to break my heart once again
I'm there where you left me
Hey if you want to break my heart once again
I'm there where you left me
 
Ref:
 
Ooo, my eye, my eyes
Don't look at those who are in love
Ooo, my eye, my eyes
Because neither you nor I are there
 
Hey the pain piles up as large as a mountain
Dust covers the way to her heart
Hey the pain piles up as large as a mountain
ever since I'm not with the girl I love.
 
Hey if you sometime walk by me
Don't ask me just how I'm doing
Hey if you want to come back to me again
Look for me, I'll give you everything
Hey if you want to come back to me again
Look for me, I'll give you everything
 
Ref:
 
Ooo, my eye, my eyes
Don't look at those who are in love
Ooo, my eye, my eyes
Because neither you nor I are there
 
Hey the pain piles up as large as a mountain
Dust covers the way to her heart
Hey the pain piles up as large as a mountain
ever since I'm not with the girl I love.
 
Hey the pain piles up as large as a mountain
Dust covers the way to her heart
Hey the pain piles up as large as a mountain
ever since I'm not with the girl I love.
 

No One is an Island

No one, no one is an island
No one can parry every blow
Alone we are too frail
No one can be everywhere
Some day you will realise
That you help yourself whenever you help someone else
You need to learn to stretch your hand
And accept when you are given help
Whoo-OOOHohoh
No one, no one is an island
No one!
No one can parry every blow
Can parry every blow!
Alone we are too frail
Too frail!
No one can be everywhere
Can be everywhere
No one, no one is an island
Alone we are too frail!

Blue Boxcar

Versions: #3
Gradually the minutes melt away from us,
Forgone are reunions we can't force.
Even though regretfully things come to pass,
The future's brighter than the past of course.
 
CHORUS:
Lay it out, lay it out,
There's a path in the fold,
Bending into the sky, leading to afar.
Everyone, everyone's
Fortune is still untold...
Roll it out, roll it out
In a Blue Boxcar.
 
Maybe we offended somebody someday,
Turn that page and leave it in the past.
Hurrying to new adventures on our way...
C'mon driver make this train go fast!
 
(CHORUS: )
 
Our Blue Boxcar's swaying on the railway line,
Locomotive shifting up a gear...
Why oh why is this day running out of time?
Please let it last the entire year!
 
(CHORUS: )
 

Love will not die, if you believe

I miss your voice as a silent prayer of the heart
Nobody understood that, insight is far away
Those nights are restless, forgotten paths home
Why is your soul fluttering? You are so precious to me
 
I tell you every day
Be with me
 
Time is helpless, I only hope you will come back
And will touch me, reach my hand when you come back
Feeling will not die, if you believe
Feeling will not die, if you believe
 
Divinely good when the forgotten old returns
Dive into the abyss and come back after passing through the fire
Feeling will not die, if you believe
Feeling will not die, if you believe
 
Silence will kill us soon, you are farther than I thought
My thoughts, perhaps, will not know where you are
Nights are asking what will happen, if two hearts get lost
Other continents and times are other too
 
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
 
Time is helpless, I only hope you will come back
And will touch me, reach my hand when you come back
Feeling will not die, if you believe
Feeling will not die, if you believe
 
Divinely good when the forgotten old returns
Dive into the abyss and come back after passing through the fire
Feeling will not die, if you believe
Feeling will not die, if you believe
 

Be silent

Everytime the season changes, picking flowers
The girls dress up and go out to the streets
You follow them with your eyes
And forgetting about my things,
You're seducing with the other side of your profile
Mmhh. It's a premonition.
 
Be silent be silent be silent be silent
I want your ○○○○
Because I like your burning ××××
Let a woman like me say it
Teasing is fun?
 
Mannequins get dressed with dresses on fashion
Their big motionless eyes seem to cry
In the mirrors of the shop windows
You always put on airs
You stare only at your own figure
Mmhh. It's sad.
 
Be silent be silent be silent be silent
I want your ○○○○
Because I want to see your living ××××
Let only me say it to you always
Why don't you pay me attention?
 
Be silent be silent be silent be silent
Be silent be silent be silent be silent

What hurt you
For whom suffered
Your heart
And I wonder how it goes
In your new life
What if you are happy
And I answered, friend
That you are very well
Very good very good
Since he left
he was gone, he was gone
That love left, goodbye
That you now live without pain
That you still live without faith, without faith
Since he left, he left

I know you really want to die

That although with my whole heart I do not hold a grudge
That now I have a new love
That has relieved that pain

Unreachable

Versions: #2
Hey hi, how are you?
Do not block me here too
You know I have nothing to show you
It's not me who lacks in maturity
Sorry but my best defense is the panic attack
I have made many useless attempts , I have done on foot the Atlantic
All right, I'm fine
Between us there is a crater, you can fall
Making mistakes comes only by together
This world sucks, in fact I really love you
And when I cry, you do not see me
But I remain standing
With eyes directed on those glasses
I have a telescope at home and I always look at those skies
Because you write me only if the planets are aligned
It hurts
Yes, but you do not have to think about it
There is a storm in my head
And this thunderstorm is not temporary
It's wrong to call
It's wrong to call
 
Nothing to do, let me stay, everything is normal
To embraced you only, I must leave now
 
And if you look at me like i am a total idiot
When I will send you this vocal note
So much that you never answer me
You never listen to me
And you always telling me that I'm not normal
If I cannot manage to sleep, but I keep dreaming
So much that you never answer me
And you never listen to me
You always remain unreachable
 
And I would have removed all your clothes
If only I could
But if you look how we broke up
In the end I only removed the greeting
You know I do not ask for help
To not look depressed
My only hobby is watching my favorite show, your last connection
 
And as far as I'm concerned, one destination is worth as much as the other
I live with my suitcase packed
It's useless for you to tell me to get away
Because destiny follows my map
I have the phrases in my belly like you
I ate Baci Perugina without removing the paper
I give you four kisses on the cheek
two for you and two for your double face
 
And if you look at me like i am a total idiot
When I will send you this vocal note
So much that you never answer me
You never listen to me
And you always telling me that I'm not normal
If I cannot manage to sleep, but I keep dreaming
So much that you never answer me
And you never listen to me
You always remain unreachable
 
And turning towards emptiness and I do not know who you are anymore
For me you are always unreachable
Only the number above the display is the same
That I would not erase
 
And maybe I'll look at you like i am a total idiot
When I will send you this vocal note
So much that you never answer me
You never listen to me
And you always telling me that I'm not normal
If I cannot manage to sleep, but I keep dreaming
So you never answer me
And you never listen to me
You are always remain unreachable
 

Dobro vece (Dolazim po tebe)

Prijatna tama koja je daleko
Polako dolazi
Na kraju zalaska sunca koje se vidi sa zgrada
Mislim na tebe
 
Prevazidji tamu
I otvori ovu noc
Zelim da se najdemo, sada, Oh
 
Mesecina se uzdize
Pre nego sto je kasno dolazim po tebe
Zamisli kako ces biti iznenadjena, dolazim po tebe
Dolazim po tebe, dolazim po tebe
Bez ijednog razloga, dolazim po tebe
 
Prevazidji ovu noc, dolazim po tebe
Ako se desi da razmisljas o meni
Dolazim kod tebe sad
Veoma je pusto kada je noc
Ne zelim da izdrzim
Sada dolazim po tebe
 
Moje disanje postaje tesko
Prilazimo sve blize
Kada si rekla da ti nedostajem
Moje srce je postalo nestrpljivo
I zato sam ubrzao
 
Kao kisa na prozoru
Ti jasno sijas
Sve nase price nas teraju da ostanemo bez daha
 
Sto blize koracam ka tebi
Moj ceo svet se menja kroz tebe
Zelim da znam sve tvoje momente
Pre te mesecine
 
Mogu da osetim
Gledamo jedno drugo kroz ta vrata
Da vidimo...
Tvoje oci, nos, usne, obraz
Iako si dalje od neba
Poslacu svoje srce oblacima
Ove noci na svetloj mesecini
 
Mesecina se uzdize
Pre nego sto je kasno dolazim po tebe
Zamisli kako ces biti iznenadjena, dolazim po tebe
Dolazim po tebe, dolazim po tebe
Bez ijednog razloga, dolazim po tebe
 
Prevazidji ovu noc, dolazim po tebe
Ako se desi da razmisljas o meni
Dolazim kod tebe sad
Veoma je pusto kada je noc
Ne zelim da izdrzim
Sada dolazim po tebe
 
Vidim te iako si daleko, Oh
Tebe, tebe, tebe, tebe
Prevazidji ovu noc
Dolazim po tebe
 

Everyone Says

We arrive at the club with a crowded entrance
Wait, Wait the selector is not in position
Sit in the bar and look at the menu
Suddenly she passes again
A skirt that destroys the heart in a second
The chasers on me tonight, there is a celebration
 
Everyone tells me I'm crazy
How lucky I am that I did not go out with her
Friends know that soon it will be over
I got stuck paying all the chasers in the bar
 
Mark to the bartender more drinks, another one
Suddenly one passes by and stares at me
Moshe's song is playing, we are all crazy
If you go, at least move the body that destroys me
The heart is in the second, The chasers on me tonight, there is a celebration
 

Clove pink

Clove pink, my flowers,
Clove pink, my flowers,
If I, with God's will, could be your seed,
If I, with God's will, could be your seed,
I would know, where' I'd blossom,
I would know, where' I'd blossom,
To my darling under windows.
To my darling under windows.
 
When my darling goes to sleep,
When my darling goes to sleep,
Clove pink will smell so sweet,
Clove pink will smell so sweet,
My darling will sigh
My darling will sigh.
 

Grandfather's Song

My eyes saw you everywhere
You will find me every night[,] like a dream
Even when not, you exist in my heart
Every moment that passes, I miss you even more
 
You were like a father to me, like a close friend of the heart
In moments of love, joy, and pain
You were a beam of light in total darkness
Oh how lacking, your loving soul
 
From here he sends you my prayers
You are the power inside me that is still alive
The smile that died1, as if it had not disappeared
Which we will forever cherish, in our hearts forever
 
You were like a father to me, like a close friend of the heart
In moments of love, joy, and pain
You were a beam of light in total darkness
Oh how lacking, your loving soul

My All Is In You

Even though I know that our parting is approaching
Because you’re leaving I hold my breath
When I smile without realizing it
Am I passing us by
Even though I’m pretending to smile
Without knowing why
In truth I want to cry
You look into my eyes
 
It seems love is ending like this
Before I know it our parting is approaching
You say “goodbye”
To me, letting you go is still difficult
Please give me a little more time
I can’t live without you
My all is in you
 
If I say goodbye first
Then you’ll expect that I’m letting you go first
Even though in your stare, which has changed since before
there’s no longer any love, I’m okay
 
Time is slowly ticking by and my mouth runs dry
I’m looking at you anxiously
I’m nervous and pacing
I’m afraid you’re going to say goodbye
 
It seems that love is ending like this
(Even though you say it’s ending like this)
Before I know it our parting is approaching
(It’s already unavoidable)
You say “goodbye”
(You say goodbye my girl) (To me, it’s still)
To me, letting you go is still difficult (It’s difficult)
Please give me a little more time
 
Even without me you can smile
Our love has already run out
Eventually you say your goodbye
Give me some time
 
It seems that love is ending like this
(Even though you say it’s ending like this)
Before I know it our parting is approaching
(It’s already unavoidable)
You say “goodbye”
To me, letting you go is still difficult
Please give me a little more time
 
Love like this
Before I know it our parting is approaching
You say “goodbye”
I still can’t let go of the one person
Who means so much to me
I can’t live without you
My all is in you
I can’t live without you
My all is in you
 

Where are you, my childhood

Ref: Where are you, my childhood?
You've passed so quickly
Towards unknown years
I'm going, I'm going...
 
Even now, I can hear in the mountains
Sounding the alphorns
Like in the years of my youth
Which are gone with the wind
 
I was once, I was once
A young with big dreams
God, so many times
Travel longing carried me far away
 
To get rich and make a name for yourself
In the gentlemen's world
You have to leave the village with fairies
And the ballads at the springs
 
Since I've been gone in the world
To give my life a meaning
The old ballads have changed
Nothing is what it used to be
 
I'm on the top of the years
And I look up
God, where's my youth?
It's gone too fast....
 

It will be always us...

Black dark with white light
The silence met the noise
A shiny lacquer with a matt laquer
Anarchy and law
 
The future in the past
And calm hide in anger
A question with an answer
You with me and me with you
 
It will be always us
Four eyes, four hands
It will be always us
Whatever will happen
 
It will be always us
Whether at a table or in a bed
Nobody will tear us apart
 
The time spilled in the space
And a hot dessert and a sea
Stone is turning into sand
And boiling water into ice
 
January in the middle of July
The sheep are caressing with the wolf
And serpentine road with the straight one
You with me and me with you
 
It will be always us
Four eyes, four hands
It will be always us
Whatever will happen
 
It will be always us
Whether at a table or in a bed
Nobody will tear us apart
 
It will be always us
Nobody will tear us apart
 

Razors

While the Moon's in Utah,
it drives us crazy,
sealed in lead,
tired, we fall to the ground
 
our feelings like razors,
my ballerina's razors,
and in this bleak day,
bleak nipples
 
we're on a train,
in fact all the time,
with hell and angels,
before we realise it
 
razors on our bodies,
razors in our bodies,
razors in our hair,
razors and one single stitch.
 

At The End of the Island

Like the elusive Apache rebel
Senses the presence of the trap
Survives missteps in the sand
And the rational chess-player
When moving the queen, hides the bishop
Throws their pawns at the crumbling castles
 
You have to find me, you have to insist
But for you, I've covered the tracks
You have to prove to me that nothing can resist you
But for you, I've covered the tracks
 
In my labyrinth of shadows and opposites
If you enter, be sure of yourself
There are deadly transparencies
And if one by one, you unravel the threads
It's in the centre of the canvas
That the real danger looms
 
You have to find me, you have to insist
But for you, I've covered the tracks
You have to prove to me that nothing can resist you
But for you, I've covered the tracks
 
And if you discover me, so that no doubt remains
That's why I covered the tracks
I must test you, like a selfish demon
Exorcist, and finally, I exist
 
If you hound me through my mirages
One more soul for one of your cages
I notice that you're not sleeping anymore
Nobody can ever again betray me, betray me. . .
 
You have to find me, you have to insist
But for you, I've covered the tracks
You have to prove to me that nothing can resist you
But for you, I've covered the tracks
 
Like the last invulnerable Apache
I lose strength at every sign
I know myself vanquished at the end of the trail
 
At the end of the trail. . .

For Nothing

I loved her too much
For her, I gave up everything
 
My honour is on the ground
I put it ahead of her, each time
 
I want her to speak with me, combine words together
Unfortunatelly, all what she said overwhelmed me
 
Maybe I couldn't say a silent goodbye to you
But to her, my last words were 'farewell'
 
For nothing, all the regrets, all what she's done
For nothing
 
muvaffakiyetsizleştiricileştiremeyebileceklerimizdenmişsinizcesine

Easy

Para para, para para, pam pam
Para para, para para
 
Damn winter, damn summer
Damn thirst that never goes away
You told me: 'I miss you, alone I can't find peace'
Or did you want to ask and write: 'How are you?'
In your every 'always' there's an 'almost'
In your every 'never' there's one 'until tomorrow'
Our days will all be nights
Our sunrises will be sunsets
I love you, I hate you, I buy you a beer
You aren't a star but a spark
Wherever you pass, thoughts become songs
And mid-seasons become a trend again
 
With you, life is so easily made impossible
Love is so fragile as to break the rules
Music is simpler, playing is like laughing
And I'm so free that I can be weak
 
Para para, para para, pam pam
Para para, para para
 
And gays are all sensible
And blacks have rhythm in the blood
Women are all intelligent
Men's brains are in their pants
Drug addicts start with a joint
The right boob is the bigger one
Communists each have a villa in Versilia
In Italy, not even an elephant has memory
 
But how many fucking speeches so as to come to you
Maybe they take an idiot test before getting on trains
Then you make fun of me, kiss me, scream in my face and beat me
But until you're here, the world is not about the idiots
 
(Oh)
 
With you, life is so easily made impossible
Love is so fragile as to break the rules
Music is simpler, playing is like laughing
And I'm so free that I can be weak
 
Life is so easily made impossible
Love is so fragile as to break the rules
Music is simpler, playing is like laughing
And I'm so free that I can be weak
 
Para para, para para, pam pam
Para para, para para, pam pam
Para para, para para, pam pam
Para para, para para
 
Life is so easily made impossible
Love is so fragile as to break the rules
Music is simpler, playing is like laughing
And I'm so free that I can be weak
 

Come dawn

Glistened have our eyes
As dew on a flower
We loved each other all night
In love, in our own world
 
(Chorus)
Come dawn, come foe
My beloved from our bed he chased away
to a place where the moon hides her today
Of love we haven't satiated (x2)
 
Joined have our lips
Brimful of fire, brimful of ember
Carried have us our hearts
to where the love emerges from
 
(Chorus)
Come dawn, come foe
My beloved from our bed he chased away
to a place where the moon hides her today
Of love we haven't satiated (x4)
 

I dedicate silence to you

It feels strange tonight
And I come back home silently
Through the traffic noise
And my phone shut down
And people look at me
But I've got nothing that's true
I just need to think about you and I already can't breathe anymore
For a long time I've been searching for that time I miss
For a long time, you know, I've been thinking time isn't enough for me
You know how expensive it is for you
But I'm just looking for a reason
To feel alive, and it isn't simple
I know how much those far fears weigh on you
You deserve a place to visit too
 
The sky feels strange tonight
I go out home silently
It isn't even dawn, but I can't think of sleeping
I'm just trying to understand you
And I can't sleep without thinking about it
If only I had any peace I could be like them
For a long time I've been searching for that time I miss
For a long time, you know, I've been thinking time isn't enough for me
I know how expensive it is for you
But I'm just looking for a reason
To feel alive, and it isn't simple
I know how much those far fears weigh on you
You too deserve
 
A place to visit
And I dedicate to you the noise
Of these useless words
A painting without its colors
Which went away by flying elsewhere
I dedicate silence to you, since you don't understand words anyway
Tonight I'll try doing it
Tonight I'm calling you
And you won't answer anyway
And even if you answer
You'll say we aren't ready
And I know how much it's expensive for you
But I'm just looking for a reason
To feel alive, and it isn't simple
I know how much those far fears weigh on you
You deserve a place to visit too
 
You deserve a place to visit too

We Are Getting Off With Our Faces Clean...

_____________________A.B.____
We are getting off with our faces clean
In the middle of the battle of brick twitches
Night’s accompanied by the burning curtains
Dreaming’s under the mask of melted wax
There’s a tucked tail in coppiced coppices
Bled white by the snide, sneaky memory
Acquiescent stars that are shining bright
With their battered boots on stones they step
And with shabby soles – on the metal rails
With a feline paw in the bootleg they’re
At a narrow pace claws kept sheathed inside
Going through the yard right along the fence
Altogether seeking a shaky plank
The ice melted is vaporizing now
To fall down on the lake tomorrow noon
I’d wash my face with it but there’s no time
I would drink it but I’m not thirsty now
I would shelter the kids from cold with it
Having failed to drown off the water’s edge
Crystal ice – that’s a too expensive thing
A rucksack full of blueish cubes to fasten
Put on twine and thenceforth – on conscience’ neck
 
Leningrad, September 1987
Here I took umbrage at Bashlachev
 

The good looking are more loved ...

The good-looking are more loved and assiduously
The merry-ones are loved less, but quicker, -
The taciturn persons are loved, only less often,
But if they are loved, stronger.
 
Don't yell tender words, don't yell,
Sometimes keep them for a while involuntarily
May the steamer be noisy at night,
Now and you keep quiet, be quiet, -
Hurry up - otherwise all will be lost.
 
She reads sad novels, -
Now let her compare, and trust in her, -
However there appeared black tulips -
To let the white look whiter.
 
Don't yell tender words, don't yell,
Sometimes keep them for a while involuntarily, -
May the poets yell and vow,
Now and you keep quiet, be quiet, -
Hurry up - otherwise all will be lost.
 
The words run, they feel crowded - now what so ever! -
You are afraid to be late.
There are many words if you want,
Tell, if you are not able to be without saying them.
 
But don't shout those words, don't shout,
Sometimes keep them for a while involuntarily,
May the steamers be noisy at night ..
Fall silent, keep quiet, be quiet, -
Hurry up! - otherwise all will be lost.
 

Kim Bilet - Ким Билет (Who Knows)

Where is the great humanity,
Why have we fallen for light, who knows?
Igniting it, don't make it happen now
You did favours to others, who knows?
Resonate again and again,
Embrace the melody as you love the light, always smile.
More, more and more
Yearn for the people and the world, heal yourself with love
 
Have your tail up, march towards your festival everyday,
Don't collapse, try and grab the stroke of luck,
By interfusing grace in your kismet,
Add value to your life.
 
Our sleeping thoughts like solid gold,
Is our path still long, who knows?
By dashing forward like an arrow
When would I arrive as I rush, who knows?
Resonate again and again,
Embrace the melody as you love the light, always smile.
More, more and more
Yearn for the people and the world, heal yourself with love
 
Have your tail up, march towards your festival everyday,
Don't collapse, try and grab the stroke of luck,
By interfusing grace in your kismet,
Add value to your life.
 
Don’t push yourself too hard in rainy days
When the heart collapses
Cheer up so that
The sun shines on your burning feelings
 
Have your tail up, march towards your festival everyday,
Don't collapse, try and grab the stroke of luck,
By interfusing grace in your kismet,
Add value to your life.
 

As Many Lovers as Stars

Which one is the right way? Which one ist the wrong way?
In which direction does the Earth spin?
It seems there is a storm in the air
Is the world better or worse?
I don't know what to say
But where I live, I hear laughter
 
There are as many lovers as stars in the sky
There are as many happy people as we under the sun
Let me look at the future deep inside your eyes
Let me swear to you that the two of us will remain
 
There are as many lovers as stars in the sky
There are as many happy people as we under the sun
If you know how to listen, you'll hear the birds
If you know how to look, you'll see that the world is beautiful
The world is beautiful
 
Which one ist the wrong way? Which one is the right way?
I don't know it when I'm in your arms
But we're still feeling so good that way
 
If there has to be suffering, if there has to be death
I do want to die from joy
From crazy love or hysterical laughter
 
There are as many lovers as stars in the sky
There are as many happy people as we under the sun
Let me look at the future deep inside your eyes
Let me swear to you that the two of us will remain
 
There are as many lovers as stars in the sky
There are as many happy people as we under the sun
If you know how to listen, you'll hear the birds
If you know how to look, you'll see that the world is beautiful
The world is beautiful
 

It is not easy

I will never stop believing in dreams
I won't stop being afraid of the days that shall arrive
Because the way, in the end, I have to earn it
by myself, from zero
And the fear makes me think of how to solve the problems
change the schemes
That that bloody fate has set up, you see
I will never stop having prejudices in the confrontations of life
and of the people, like a looser
With that sense of defeat that I carry around
Always, even when I win
But above all when I see that you are far away
 
It is not easy, it is not easy
Try to imagine
Try to imagine how to live
But it is not easy, it is not easy
Because you are true and the imagination sometimes goes without saying.
I will never stop asking questions to myself
To understand if I am a man or a piece of shit
But something is worth it
Something still ignites firmly
The pride, the hope and the morality
But sometimes changing oneself is tough
Tough like one more surrender
Like a stone statue on the head and carrying it alone
 
It is not easy, it is not easy
Try to imagine
Try to imagine how to live
But it is not easy, it is not easy
Because you are true and the imagination sometimes goes without saying.
It is not easy, it is not easy
Try to imagine
Try to imagine how to live
But it is not easy, it is not easy
Because you are true and the imagination sometimes goes without saying.
 
It goes without saying
(But I will never stop, I will never stop)
It goes without saying
(But I will never stop, I will never stop)
It goes without saying
(But I will never stop, I will never stop)
It goes without saying...
 
I want to laugh meaninglessly
To live at least one intense day
To not get depressed when I think of you because, because
 
I want to laugh meaninglessly
To live at least one intense day
To not get depressed when I think of you because, because
 
I want to laugh meaninglessly
To live at least one intense day
To not get depressed when I think of you because, because
 
I want to laugh meaninglessly
To live at least one intense day
To not get depressed when I think of you because, because
It is not easy
 

Cats and Songs

If my eyes were filling to tears
You were my reason why
My dreams are scarring
Just like my youth
You were the dot of everything
And this story
Cats and songs
Are not enough to us
You need me
 
It was wags with our songs
I were looking away and lauging all the time
And you were saying,
 
Cats and songs
Are not enough to us
You, you, you
Need me
 
If my eyes were filling to tears
You were my reason why
My dreams are scarring
Just like my youth
You were the dot of everything
And this story
Cats and songs
Are not enough to us
You need me
 
I mix everything up with you
But anybody else could mix with you
And i was saying,
 
Cats and songs
Are not enough to us
You, you, you
Need me
 
You need me
Oh, oh, you need me
 

Princess of the Sea

'Beware the Princess of the Sea!'
The father warned
His declaration traveled abroad
As he receded into the ocean.
 
Corpses line the edge of Kalimdor
They died in battle
And their leader died at Theramore
The reason: his princess.
 
Why, why, oh Princess of the Sea
Why have you betrayed us
You were our beacon of trust
And now we've fallen into oblivion.
 
She fled across the watery expanse
The father, too
To save his only princess,
'Light give me strength.'
 
He saw there upon the shores
Enemies approaching
He began his assault on the Horde
As the daughter fled.
 
Buried in the ocean
With the pain of betrayal
A final plea to his people,
'Beware of the Princess!'
 
['Pardon me, father.']
 
I'm here, I'm here, I know your beloved voice
It beckons to me,
'Beware of the Princess of the Sea
Beware... of -- of me.'
 
'Work hard in silence, let your success be your noise!'

Telephone

The materials of separation are three
There's no doubt
One to not love me... Two you see somewhere else
And three the apathy
 
You want me to come back to you but sweetheart I won't accept.
 
Take my telephone so I don't call her
Talk to me to forget
Enough is enough
She shares her love
She shares her hug
Put me to drink may I forget
 
The materials of separation are three
And you have them in abundant
One to not love me... Two you see somewhere else
And three the apathy
 
And you turn around saying you want me
But in the same mistake I don't go again
 
Take my telephone so I don't call her
Talk to me to forget
Enough is enough
She shares her love
She shares her hug
Put me to drink may I forget
 

Fear the chip of verity

Fear the chip of verity to send away from void1
Smoke that’s driven by litter2 towards the dwelling place
Pain of iron labour3 unprotected and alive
Death by solitariness that holds the world within
The ice-covered lenses of the all-distorting goggles
To outspread a cobweb just for haltering all gnats
By the muzzle of yellow wolves’ stares to abut the chest
Of those who put hands down, as if they were in the air
To shoot down the offcast, those who gave away their all
Feed those who are semi-ruined into a 5-ton press
Kick away the crutches from those who are semi-crippled
Put the semi-mangled beneath the crawler belt at once
It will stop just for a while – to pat and even sigh
Raptly and maternally shrugging shoulders, though
Mannerly and tactfully will ask about health
Putting a soft pillow right in place - under the head
Cat’s crooned to a mousekin a love song about romance
 

• 1. The original verse lacks punctuation signs that gives it a kind of special charm and ambiguity. I tried to reproduce this in the translation so that English-speaking readers could make their own investigation on what was meant in each line
• 2. In Russian, word order can be almost free, so the beginning of the line could be translated as 'Smoke that’s driving litter', besides.
• 3. 'Схватка' can also mean 'a fight' in Russsian
