Ballad on Don Quixote

Poor Señor Cervantes is busy,
He glances around in despair:
The hero, once born of his vision,
Is so often now taken on hire.
 
Round departments he goes for a pittance,
Though retirement long since he earned.
And the writer makes out his quittance
With mortally trembling hand.
 
But the globe turns around on its spindle,
And everyone begs for a loan:
«Will you kindly lend me your windmill —
As a Quixote I wish to be known!»
 
From his lifetime in full requisition
Deathless Quixote is tired out,
They multiply him by division —
But still Dulcinea doesn't count.
 
The mythical windmills are weaker
Than narcotics, politic tirades,
And little Don Quixotes wander
Through verse, like theatrical shades.
 
While out of inertia hammers
The firmament's spinning-wheel,
The windmills have died out, like mammoths,
And they've built no new ones, nor will.
 
And my sword in its sheath is rusting,
And there's no foolhardy attack…
Put out by the motor-cars rushing,
To the Zoo Rosinante's gone back.
 
For knights there are reservations,
Befitting the time and task.
But still to poor Senor Cervantes,
Like the others, I come and ask:
 
«Will you kindly lend me your windmill —
As a Quixote I wish to be known…»
But that's just a trifle, so little,
That to ask it is awkward, I own.

crystal mic

How pretty it was,
on the hill on the way home
lit by the huge setting sun,
your small smiling face I could not preserve.
 
You speed up in silence, yet
since I think fondly of the sky,
it'll be my turn next, eh?
 
I'm sure to follow,
regretful that I wasn't in time,
follow your hands that I let go,
just once more,
for the sake of being lonely 'together'.
I can see right through this despair,
at the end of which I sing
a distant dream.
 
More than any promise,
more than powerful words
the warmth that
I feel sharply in my throat
seems easier to forget.
 
Sea with your soft noise,
sink and spread
and one day be born in 'me'.
 
The real truth is,
everything rots to dust, leaving scars
drawn here.
If I had not been with you,
I could not have made it there to you,
a treasure
sparkling like
gemstones still in ore.
 
Hey,
if I send just one wish
with this mike,
'I will definitely deliver it.'
 
I'm sure to follow,
regretful that I wasn't in time,
follow your hands that I let go,
just once more,
for the sake of being lonely 'together'.
I can see right through this despair,
at the end of which I sing
a distant dream.
 

A Glittering Child

Another set of four seasons passes
and a new fifth season begins.
The time I spent with you
isn't a lie, I muttered.
 
'This time last year,
what were you doing somewhere?'
It's routine for me to start wanting
to know trivial things like that.
 
When I think of you
even with ordinary emotions,
my heart starts feeling happy
and something burst open inside it.
 
Among the changing times,
I'll be here unchanged.
It's a promise! That's what he vowed,
the glittering child.
 
At times we've quarreled
and you forgave me when I burst into tears,
or we cracked jokes with each other,
a silly happiness.
When I'm alone,
how odd that it feels
this lonely.
 
Next to me, you
look so big!
Dependable, but just a bit
unreliable at times.
I love you, I want to be
with you like that, unchanging.
Spring, summer, autumn winter,
will I get to make many memories?
 
When I think of you
even with ordinary emotions,
my heart starts feeling happy
and something burst open in it.
 
Among the changing times,
I'll be here unchanged.
It's a promise! That's what he vowed,
the glittering child.
 

Now you know

Wow, what the heck is this?
You see, Migo...
 
There was a time when we lived beneath the clouds
We were thriving, evolving, til' we faced up to the Smallfoot
That's right, we used to live down there
But there's things we can not forgive that easily
 
And though these little creatures were given a different nomenclature—
Man, or human—they ended up showing their true nature
A dangerous species that attacks and wounds with spears with iron tips and sticks that spew bolts of lightning
 
They called us 'Sasquatch,' they called us 'Abominable,'
They chased us, pursued us,
With an unquenchable hatred.
We had no choice but to run and hide,
Rather than facin' real genocide
 
So we clumb this mountain just to stay alive.
We understood that up here, Smallfoot can not survive
So it was here that the first law was written in stone
It was named and proclaimed as our only truth
 
Our world is an island—it floats on a sea of endless clouds
It will always be so
And then we wrote more laws, more rules to obey
For the sake of us all, it was the only way
To live, to protect us from all of the human ravages
Heaped upon us by those savage little creatures that only meant for us to die out
 
(Now you know, you know, you know, you know)
And new rules apply
(Yes, now you know, you know)
This lie will have saved us
(This lie, now you know, you know, you know, you know)
And you can't deny
(Yes, now you know, you know)
This lie will have saved us
(This lie)
 
But my Smallfoot, he's not like that
They're all like that
Tell me, when you found him
Did he greet you with open arms?
 
They don't care about us
They don't care about anything but themselves
Which is why we must do the same in order to ensure the survival of our people!
 
Wait, we're below the clouds
Or so it would seem
But look closer...
Those aren't clouds—it rather looks like steam
Looks like the stones are workin' all right
The stones?
 
Every job and every effort is pointless as it seems
All of it ensures that this machine
Keeps turning and turning and spinnin' around and never stops
So those below don't look up, and those above don't look down
But they wanna look 'cause even if they hear of these atrocities
The only thing stronger than fear is curiosity
 
(Now you know, you know)
 
Wait so, so none of those stones are true. They're all lies!
(All.lies)
Good lies to protect our world
(Now you know, you know)
The others needa know the truth
Oh, do they?
 
You feel emboldened by your noble quest to find the truth,
Your overly naive youth and your mental alertness
You'll learn as you grow older
What's true or not true is just in the eye of the beholder
So can you prevent our own annihilation for real? Yes!
Then, our only goal should be to control the flow of information
Unless you wanna see the Smallfoot enslave our village
Then protect the lie, and you protect us from pillage
 
Lives are at stake, Migo
Your father's, your friends', Meechee's
 
(Okay, I want for you to tell me absolutely all there is to know about you and your world.)
 
She's curious, and you know what they say:
Curiosity killed the yak.
So what do you want me to do?
Tell everyone you were lying about the Smallfoot
But they already saw it, they're not gonna believe me!
You'd be surprised at what they'll believe
You think knowledge is power, Migo?
(You know, you know, you know...)
Question is...
(Yes, now you know, you know)
What are you finna do with that power?
 
 

Until Then

In a far-away town, we were born,
at some point we met, we loved, we parted …
 
The rubble piles up but the sky above
pretty as it was …
 
Where to until I forget?
As far as that light.
Don't (or I won't) take it away, don't (or I won't) let it go.
I'm walking there, I can make my way there
until that day.
 
I want to give you everything you like.
I want to fulfill your wasted dreams.
 
The mornings that have gone, the darkness that goes on,
they won't change.
 
Even so, even if things don't get better,
there's our promise,
and the summer clouds, the laughter,
and, if you're well and we meet again,
the future.
 
Our promise,
the summer clouds, the laughter.
Where to until I forget?
As far as that light.
Don't take it away, don't let it go.1
I'm walking there, I can make my way there
until that day.
 

• 1. (or) I won't take it away, I won't let it go.

Theodor

Wash the dirt off your eyes, Theodor1.
Wash the dirt off your eyes, put a hand on your heart
and tell me, is this how you saw [the Jewish state]? Is this how you envisioned it? Is this how you wanted it?
I take a 100 IL banknote2 [and] stare at the picture.
I'm staring at you very carefully, the Visionary of the [Jewish] State.
Such a precious Jew, with a beard extending to his chest.
Such a slender Jew - where does he get the strength to be a visionary?
 
Look me directly in the eye, Theodor.
Look me directly in the eye, like a loving father
and tell me, how much you yearned for it, how much you wept, how much you tippled.
I take a 100 IL banknote [and] stare at the picture.
I'm staring at you very carefully, the Visionary of the State.
Such a precious Jew, with a beard extending to his chest.
Such a slender Jew - where does he build up the strength for this undertaking3?
 
Drink a glass with me for cheers, Theodor.
Drink a glass with me for cheers, open your heart.
And explain, how didn't you fall, [how] didn't you get befuddled, how didn't you fail?
I take a 100 IL banknote [and] stare at the picture.
I'm staring at you very carefully, the Visionary of the State.
Such a precious Jew, with a beard extending to his chest.
Such a slender Jew - where does he get the strength to be a visionary?
 
Theodor, they've already deducted a third of the [sentence] for the first Hebrew thief,
and at night, a Hebrew 'queen” wanders on the road 
Very often I think of you,
Why are you far from me,
Over there?
It would be so wonderful,
To live free and happy,
Both.
 
But whatever the distance,
It's been yours since childhood,
I think.
And one fine day you will see,
Yes we will meet again,
You and me.
 
My dearest brother, I am writing to you today,
To tell you a little about my life.
Answer me quickly, tell me that you too,
You think of your darling little sister.
 

Smells like rain

It smells like rain and I'm sitting outside
for a while to bear this silence
it seems to me a celebration that the wind does not bring
I fear the stars to not miss a wish
 
It smells like rain, the skin is watering
moments whispers that you were there
The body sweats in your storm* it melts
I don't turn off the lights, don't come in the morning
 
It smells like rain, the soil rises
a new carpet is laid at my feet
the tear doesn't drip it hurts when is dawning
I forget what I was and I become you
and i become you
I forget what I was and I become you
 
the tear doesn't drip it hurts when is dawning
I forget what I was and I become you
 

These Crooked Roads Of Prizren

Those crooked roads of Prizren,
Those crooked roads of Prizren,
It looks at the castle,
Oh my, oh my!
 
Her mother's at the door,
Her mother's at the door,
She looks at her daughter,
Oh my, oh my!
 
Oh my baby, my coquettish baby, come to me baby, come on!
Oh my baby, my coquettish baby, come to me baby, come on!
Oh my baby, my coquettish baby, come to me baby, come on!
Oh my baby, my coquettish baby, come to me baby, come on!
 
These ice cold waters of Prizren
These ice cold waters of Prizren
It comes from the dam,
Oh my, oh my!
 
Early morning nightingale sound,
Early morning nightingale sound,
It comes from the slums,
Oh my, oh my!
 
Oh my baby, my coquettish baby, come to me baby, come on!
Oh my baby, my coquettish baby, come to me baby, come on!
Oh my baby, my coquettish baby, come to me baby, come on!
Oh my baby, my coquettish baby, come to me baby, come on!
 
That nightingale stream of Prizren,
That nightingale stream of Prizren,
It passes through the palace,
Oh my, oh my!
 
Nightingales also hazelnut juice,
Nightingales also hazelnut juice,
Drinks from the leaf,
Oh my, oh my!
 
Oh my baby, my coquettish baby, come to me baby, come on!
Oh my baby, my coquettish baby, come to me baby, come on!
Oh my baby, my coquettish baby, come to me baby, come on!
Oh my baby, my coquettish baby, come to me baby, come on!
 

Sirin

The world is a broken mirror
There's no sun on the path
Weep, Sirin, bird maiden
Night lies ahead
The world is a broken mirror
There's no sun on the path
Weep, Sirin, bird maiden
Night lies ahead
 
Spring sowed
Red poppy on the crimson field
So that never again heat lighting should flash
But you can't escape the weed by a kind word
And the shoot's fate is to bow at the feet of death
 
The world is a broken mirror
There's no sun on the path
Weep, Sirin, bird maiden
Night lies ahead
The world is a broken mirror
There's no sun on the path
Weep, Sirin, bird maiden
Night lies ahead
 
Scream, 'We won't leave
Won't disappear in the wordless dark'
Cast hearts with ice
That love is stronger than fear
But in the tight yoke, whip on your shoulders or chain in prison
The bloody plowman tills the living furrow
 
The world is a broken mirror
There's no sun on the path
Weep, Sirin, bird maiden
Night lies ahead
The world is a broken mirror
There's no sun on the path
Weep, Sirin, bird maiden
Night lies ahead
 

Donosti

Look where we went
Buy a small wine and come back
To the room on the right, 23
It's always Sunday, don't you see?
 
If you want we'll dance
Or just look at the wall
I'll tell you all my shit
So you don't get lost
 
When there's nothing left
Let's see how it rains, how does that sound?
It's a good plan and nothing's changed
In case we start again
 
In case we start again
It hasn’t changed and everything's still the same
 
You already know everything about me
I'm an old tree in your garden
And you know that you'll return and I'll always still be here
Tell me everything about you
You're an open book for me
And when you want, I'll write again
 
I haven’t changed my odd schedules
Nor my bad days where I lack faith
I don't know how I'll be in a few years
 
Perhaps when some time has passed
You'll be interested again in my shit
Finally you'll understand it, and we'll start again
 
And we'll start again
It hasn’t changed and everything's still the same
 
You already know everything about me
I'm an old tree in your garden
And you know that you'll return and I'll always still be here
Tell me everything about you
You're an open book for me
And when you want, I'll write again
 

Last Night

This silent moonlit night
Insincere words
Got me confused, got me missing you
But I'm hiding those feelings tonight
 
Nox and Nox! (Nox and Nox)
I'll jump over the wall of your dream and find it
Nox and Nox! (Nox and Nox)
A dream that bloomed in the night's embrace
 
This brutal love
It's a pain that digs deep
Can't stop it
'The more dangerous it is, the happier I am'
 
I appeared in your dream last night
I sang in your dream last night
Sweetly, at times passionately
I carefully knock on your door
 
Last night (whoo -)
Last night (whoo -)
Tarata in my dream last night- (whoo -)
Last night
 
I don't care about other people's nights, you're not there
This city is filled with chills of the cold heart
 
Nox and Nox! (Nox and Nox)
I'll jump over the wall of your dream and find it
Nox and Nox! (Nox and Nox)
A dream that bloomed in the night's embrace
 
I appeared in your dream last night
I sang in your dream last night
Sweetly, at times passionately
I carefully knock on your door
 
Last night (whoo -)
Last night (whoo -)
Tarata in my dream last night- (whoo -)
 
What I've lost (what I've lost)
My heart I've lost (my heart I've lost)
It's the one and only you
And memories of us
 
In this long, long dream
I roam again, tonight
 
Last night (whoo -)
Last night (whoo -)
Tarata in my dream last night- (whoo -)
Last night
