Crazy about you

I'm writing in german now so you can understand it too
50 million songs and movies later
On this night you'll finally hear about it
What we're been in my head from the very start
 
And I was a bit over the top sometimes as well
I just can't control myself if it's about love
I felt sick, I felt empty, I waited by the door, I always wanted more
I danced alone in circles around you
And I think you still don't understand to this day
 
That I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you
 
I tried to convince myself I was wrong
I tried to survive without you
You are my drug, it's not my fault
That I'm crazy about you
 
I need to get it out, I'm exploding
Between us love is trembling
I need to get it out, I'm exploding
Between us love is trembling
 
When you're tangible, you'll dodge again
When I try to forget you, you hit me in the face with your smile again
 
I took a trip on other boys 1
But what you did with my heart is art
I don't like this game anymore
Because I'm crazy about you
Because I'm crazy about you
 
I tried to convince myself I was wrong
I tried to survive without you
My breath vanishes with you, out the door
 
I need to get it out, I'm exploding
Between us love is trembling
I need to get it out, I'm exploding
Between us love is trembling
 

• 1. I don't know what he means by this.

From Outside

Strangled, completely strangled
Physically destroyed
Not needed, not needed at all
In my lifetime I was insignificant
 
From the outside
I'm like you
Like all of them
What now?
From the outside
I'm like you
Like all of them
Believe it or not
 
We're together, we're together somewhere
We are useless, an empty word
And people at the Krasnaya Presnya1
For some reason marched to their death again
 
From the outside
I'm like you
Like all of them
What now?
From the outside
I'm like you
Like all of them
Believe it or not
 
On tiptoes like in fairytales
Someone's hand was lying
The curtain started fidgeting
And someone shouted: 'Cut!'
 
From the outside
I'm like you
Like all of them
What now?
From the outside
I'm like you
Like all of them
Believe it or not
 
From the outside
I'm like you
Like all of them
What now?
From the outside
I'm like you
Like all of them
Believe it or not
 

• 1. Also called the 'Presnensky' district of Moscow. It is known for being the historical site of the October Revolution.

Dance If You Want It

Dance if you want it! Dance if you want it tonight
Dance if you want it! Dance if you want it tonight
 
At the night I abandoned that guy
Music from bluesy saxophone flows from the street corner
The man with masks holds out a diamond queen
The starlight beams through
Na Na Na Na Na Na hey hey girl
 
'The truth cannot be seen by eyes,
Things visible are lie' Such saying is not appropriate!
 
Dance if you want it! Dance if you want it tonight
Dance if you want it! Dance if you want it tonight
 
With a good dance shoes
Nude bodies and spirits dances up
From the speechless time,
Let's feel the step that elongate the life
Na Na Na Na Na Na hey hey girl woo
 
Your eyes are the palace of water
I was attracted to it, about to go mindlessly crazy
 
Baby Baby, Like the way you move your thang
Baby Baby, Let me see your funky thang
 
'The truth cannot be seen by eyes,
Things visible are lie' Such saying is not appropriate!
 
Dance if you want it! Dance if you want it tonight
Dance if you want it! Dance if you want it tonight
 

Secret Love

I see that you're wearing new clothes
My heart is fluttering
I'm okay just by looking at you smiling
I'll always look at you
 
(Oh, carefully)
I follow you (baby)
One step, two steps, I secretly match my steps with you
So that you don't notice
 
My secret love
It's risky (in case my heart will be noticed)
It's so risky
 
I pretend that I’m not, I try to hide my love
It’s my own electrifying secret
 
Should I walk up to you and talk?
Or not?
What if
He already knows? (Oh No!)
 
Does he know me?
Should I pretend like I don't know?
Pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat, I don't know what to do!
 
Who is that? The woman next to you?
I don't like her?
Possibly your girlfriend? I'm worried
Please behave!
 
Oh, (carefully)
I follow you (baby)
One step, two steps, I secretly match my steps with you
So that you don't notice
 
My secret love
It's risky (in case my heart will be noticed)
It's so risky
I pretend that I’m not, I try to hide my love
It’s my own electrifying secret
 
I can't stop my
(Secret Love)
Closer, more closer, I'm a

It quickly spreads more and more

Carefully, it burns me up
Pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat, I don't know what to do!
 
You're my secret boy
It's so thrilling
(Every time I look at you)
You make me fall for you
 
I can't stop, please help me
You’re so charming, which is hard to see elsewhere

Viva

Live your life as a gambler
Live it fast, you only have it on loan.
Laughing is better than crying.
Even if you know you’ll be buried one day.
Enjoy every night
like it’s your last.
How do you know
if dawn will break again?
 
The treacherous apple in the branches
Don’t be fooled
by the snake
this was the First Sin
Thunder and lightning came
the Earth began to shake
Pretend to repent,
then enjoy yourself
That punishment
was worth it for that apple!
 
Long live dancing!
Dance and hold me tighter, please!
Long live singing!
Sing beautifully like an angelic choir
Long live passion!
Kiss me a little longer than you should.
I sing long live love
After all, love is the only reason to live!
 
Live for each day.
Live as you should not,
but as you have always wanted.
To make life like a dream.
The most beautiful of all works of art.
Hot blood reveals,
that you didn’t give in.
Cruel passion,
that drives us on!
 
Long live dancing!
Dance and hold me tighter, please!
Long live singing!
Sing beautifully like an angelic choir
Long live passion!
Kiss me a little longer than you should.
I sing long live love
After all, love is the only reason to live!
 
Don’t waste your time with any doubts,
if you feel like it,
go for it!
In a race with fear and mediocrity,
you can only win
drenched in sweat!
 
Long live dancing!
Dance and hold me tighter, please!
Long live singing!
Sing beautifully like an angelic choir
Long live passion!
Kiss me a little longer than you should.
I sing long live love
After all, love is the only reason to live!

Yes... Wait

I want to be a chill dad, a cool one
Who can befriend my kids
Yet the kid would still be polite
Understand manners
Know to behave and act accordingly
 
Father questioned my decision to rent a house
As if the price of land is still as cheap as when he was young
Mother questioned my decision to not marry
As if the price of education is as cheap as in the past
 
The cloud questioned why I do not exercise
Apocalypse is coming, my health is useless
Then you asked why flames are flickering
Yes... wait, I need time to shine
 
You can still laugh amidst the graveyard?
All that's left in this world is pain, I eat modestly
Set my heart, sincerely working
Still envy those who are more rich
 
Yes... wait, I need time to digest all this
Bad luck, I never asked to be born
I am nauseous, everything slowly turns banal
I surrender, seeing my dysfunctional city
 
Yes... wait, give me time to stay in silence
In helplessness fighting against the nation
In helplessness fighting against the world
In helplessness fighting against my soul
 
Yes... wait, give me time to stay in silence
In helplessness fighting against the nation
In helplessness fighting against the world
In helplessness fighting against my soul
 
Yes... wait, give me time to stay in silence
In helplessness fighting against the nation
In helplessness fighting against the world
In helplessness fighting against my soul
 

Mandolin serenade

Mandolin, keep on playing
My heart wants to sing
Only you can speak to love
With warmth
Your sweet notes
Will wake my lover
Sand my heart will sing
The most beautiful serenade.
Mandolin, keep on playing
My heart wants to sing
Only you can speak to love
With warmth
Tonight, in the moonlight
If she will listen to me
Telling me yes
I will have luck in my pocket
And I will swear to her
'I will always love you so'
 
Tonight, in the moonlight
If she will listen to me
Telling me yes
I will have luck in my pocket
And I will swear to her
'I will always love you so'

Lotus flower

You, heaven and happiness
You, sweet fairy tale of love
Have conquered my heart forever
I love only you, I will always love you
You are a lotus flower
Scented with heaven
Blooming in the wind and in the sun
I love you
Angel face, golden dream
You are a smile of love
You make me forget every pain
I love only you, I will always love you

Scented with heaven
Blooming in the wind and in the sun
I love you

Tell me in a sigh

And I will understand

You want to say:
'Come again
Sweet lotus flower'
And my heart will answer you:
'I will come back to you'.

Sayonara
Goodbye
 
You want to say:
'Come again
Sweet lotus flower'
And my heart will answer you:
'I will come back to you'.
 
Goodbye

Goodbye
 

Cats

Sages austere and fervent lovers both,
In their ripe season, cherish cats, the pride
Of hearths, strong, mild, and to themselves allied
In chilly stealth and sedentary sloth.
 
Friends both to lust and learning, they frequent
Silence, and love the horror darkness breeds.
Erebus would have chosen them for steeds
To hearses, could their pride to it have bent.
 
Dreaming, the noble postures they assume
Of sphinxes stretching out into the gloom
That seems to swoon into an endless trance.
 
Their fertile flanks are full of sparks that tingle,
And particles of gold, like grains of shingle,
Vaguely be-star their pupils as they glance.

You’re so simple

Times go by
Things die
But life, life does not die
While you are in the world!
 
You’re so simple
Don't ever change
You’re so lovable
Don't ever change
Don't lead me on
I don’t want you sophisticated
You just have
To tell me yes
For this dream, that dream is not
I go into ecstasy, I am with the angels
And among the angels I see you
Oh, baby, I see you
 
Don't lead me on
I don’t want you sophisticated
You just have
To tell me yes
For this dream, that dream is not
I go into ecstasy, I am with the angels
And among the angels I see you
Oh, baby, I see you
 

On Manet's Picture Lola of Valencia

Amongst the myriad flowers on beauty's stem
It's hard to choose. Such crowds there are of them
But Lola burns with unexpected fuel
The radiance of a black and rosy jewel.

Invisible Like The Almighty God

Like the Almighty God
Like the thunder
Invisible like the Almighty God
Vanishes like the thunder
Oh, my dear companion
Oh, oh, my beloved spouse
Invisible like the Almighty God
 
The flowers blossom bountifully
The fruits ripen abundantly
The birds sing melodiously
On the arrival of a new beginning
This lady's heart is overwhelmed
My eyes overflow with tears
Oh, my dear companion
Oh, my beloved from another land
Invisible like the Almighty God
 
As the breeze from the southwest
Swiftly swirls
The tall tree stands cheerfully
Sways its branches in a dancing rhythm
This heart of mine is excited
My eyes overflow with tears
Oh, my dear companion
Oh, my beloved one
Invisible like the Almighty God
 
When the bud blossoms into a flower
During the late evening
The moon shines like rippling waves
As the night sky grows dimmer
My eagerness reaches its peak
It torches my emotions like a blazing fire
Oh, my dear companion
The one who lives underneath the hills
Invisible like the Almighty God
 

Only for you

Only for you
There'we all my questions unanswered,
Only for you
I stay awake till dawn,
Only for you
All my dreams remained at the final stop,
Only for you
I'll leave forever.
 
I write to nowhere, you can't answer me,
The water drop down my cold skin,
Words are poison, but you won't hear me,
The sunset will cover, threre're roofs underfoot.
 
Only for you
There'we all my questions unanswered,
Only for you
I stay awake till dawn,
Only for you
All my dreams remained at the final stop,
Only for you
I'll leave forever.
 
But you won't hear me anyway,
You'll leave my word unanswered,
The empty dreams will be covered with earth,
And the roofs of houses will wait for the dawn.
But you won't hear me anyway,
You'll leave my word unanswered,
The empty dreams will be covered with earth,
And I won't wait for the dawn.
 
Only for you
There'we all my questions unanswered,
Only for you
I stay awake till dawn,
Only for you
All my dreams remained at the final stop,
Only for you
I'll leave forever.
 
I call you, call you,
But you don't hear,
I call you, call you,
But you don't hear.
 

Today

Yesterday, two roads of our lives
have drifted apart with no point
Yesterday, the sadness seemed endless
yesterday I couldn't believe I can love and hope anymore
 
Yesterday, the happiness from afar
seemed like a star
that I couldn't reach for
yesterday I couldn't believe I can love and hope anymore
 
Chorus
 
But today I'm gonna run in the sun
Today I can dream again in the sun
Today I also learnt
how good and beautiful is life
Today, I'm laughing and crying, I'm living it
Today I'm rushing towards tomorrow again
Today I also learnt
how good and beautiful is life
Today...
 
Yesterday, the happiness from afar
seemed like a star
that I couldn't reach for
yesterday I couldn't believe I can love and hope anymore
 
Chorus
 

A Song For Mom

Who wakes us up early, kids,
who works for us all day?
 
Mom! Mom!
Only, only, only she!
Mom! Mom!
The best in the world!
 
Who loves us the most?
Who feeds us and clothes us?
 
Mom! Mom!
Only, only, only she!
Mom! Mom!
The best in the world!
 
Who caresses us and wraps us?
Who lulls us to sleep with a song?
 
Mom! Mom!
Only, only, only she!
Mom! Mom!
The best in the world!
 
Mom...
 

We Don’t Stop

'Round and 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round (Ayo, let's go)
'Round and 'round and 'round and (Ayo, let's go, oh)
 
Hundred out of a hundred, right here
Can’t endure it without going crazy the vibe’s blazing, hot, lasers in my eyes
Steps quickening, bringing a little more fun
Everyone’s gonna be smiling, even that clown over there
My everyday Jean look, the real Jean
HP at max, always the MVP
An increasing gauge, you cannot chase me
The break’s exploded, engine gone beep, beep
Hey, what do you want? Just follow your mood and shake it all off
Don’t matter if it squeaks, wiggle at your pace, don't shut off
Check my face properly one more time
Getting immersed deeper every day, it’s a mayday

Throwing a punch at the world, yeah

We don't stop, we don't stop (Whattup?)
 
Break it, break it down, break it, break it down (Ooh-ee)

Break it, break it down, break it, break it down (Ooh-ee)
Break it, break it, break it, break it down, break it, break it down (Ah)
 
Faster, teleport
Blink and I disappear
Follow me if you don’t want to miss it, shout it
Don’t know how to get tired, every day full charging
Every day, I know where to go
Staying up all night dancing, someone stop me
Faster, teleport
Blink and I disappear
 
Hands up, high up never die (Never die)
Go, even higher never down (Never down)
I don’t care, I don’t mind
Throwing a punch at the world, yeah

Party let’s go, today I’m feeling like one hundred
Follow the feel and shake it like it’s my birthday
Woah, woah, woah, woah, stretch and just
Hit them folk, ayy, brothers, gather around

Bewitched by me, let go of the reins
Let’s go crazy, no joke
Please, over here, somebody stop me
 
We don't stop, man
 
Go, now, we ever don't stop (Don't stop)
Fire without hesitation, one shot (One shot)
Accelerate without rest, non-stop

Go, now, we ever don't stop (Don't stop)
Fire without hesitation, one shot (One shot)
Accelerate without rest, non-stop
Yeah, we don't stop, yeah, we don't stop (Whattup?)
 

Fly

You're the eternal light of my sky
Fly, my star, far away from here
Always far from me
But always be in my sky
 
The eternal light of my sky
Fly, my star, far away from here
Always far from me
But always be in my sky
 
And you fly, fly, fly, my star
In the sky of love, shine
And fly to my warm embrace
Lead me, lead me, lead me, my star
 
In the ocean of waves, where the waves
Shall carry me to your arms
Where we are not
Lights burn, incinerating the days
 
The days when we're not alone
Trust me, we will not be alone
Where we are not
Pouring rains, washing away the days
 
The days when we're not alone
Where years pass like the blink of an eye
Give me your hand so we can run away from here
Together to the stars without looking back
 
Without you, I cannot breathe
My dreams lie within your eyes
When you're with me, my soul rejoices
I shall drown in you, without a rush
 
Without your angelic voice close to my heart
My dreams lie within your eyes
One glance of yours — makes tempests rage within me
Waves against the rocks, thunder and tsunamis, oh-oo, oh-oo
 
Where you and I, all the stars are falling afar
I wished them, I wished them for you, oh-oo, oh-oo
And you fly, fly, fly, my star
In the sky of love, shine
 
And fly to my warm embrace
Lead me, lead me, lead me, my star
In the ocean of waves, where the waves
Shall carry me to your arms
 

Slender

[Verse 1: Carlos Rivera] I know they're saying out there that I'm a complicated guy
That they're giving me a reputation for spreading love everywhere
My love, I'm already used to them not accepting my legacy
Because losing myself between some lips is the best of my sins, but
 
[Chorus: Prince Royce & Carlos Rivera] No one can tell you
My life, that I don't love you
Because it would be a lie
A slander, a deceit
And I won't allow
Anyone to dirty my hands
The ones that caress your face
The ones that have filled your space
 
[Post-Chorus: Carlos Rivera] I won't allow it, no, no
 
[Verse 2: Prince Royce] No matter how they try, my love, to confuse you, that doesn't make sense (Woh, woh)
If better than anyone you already know me, you know I die with you (Uh-yeah)
I'm not perfect, I know well that I've failed
But what wouldn't I do to have you by my side
And every day I tell myself: 'How lucky I am to have found you'
 
[Chorus: Carlos Rivera & Prince Royce, Both] No one can tell you
My life, that I don't love you
Because it would be a lie
A slander, a deceit
And I won't allow (Allow)
Anyone to dirty my hands
The ones that caress your face
The ones that have filled your space
 
[Post-Chorus: Prince Royce] I won't allow it
 
[Interlude: Prince Royce] Royce
 
[Chorus: Prince Royce & Carlos Rivera, Both] No one can tell you (Can tell you), my life, that I don't love you
Because it would be a lie, a slander, a deceit
And I won't allow anyone to dirty my hands
The ones that caress your face, the ones that have filled your space
I won't allow it
 

Glory to the unbreakable union of republics!

Glory to the unbreakable union of republics!
Glory, our Soviet country!
With your Leninist truth
The friendship of peoples is forever cemented.
The sun shines on us - the sun of communism!
We will win! The Party is leading us,
Live and blossom, free Fatherland,
Our great nation protects you!
We defended our happiness in the struggle,
We found our strength in labor,
We have paved the way to the cherished world.
 

The One I Want

Might this be the day
When everything changes
If one had hills and happiness
Still something is missing
Somewhere is a lost paradise
I'll never find
How in hell this hell could be
 
The one i want
The one i want
The one i want
The one i want
The one i want
The one i want
 
Everything visible and existing
Lose from my heels
In that moment everything would be
As i want
There would be no world
At least not the way it's perceived
In that moment all would be
As i want
 
The one i want
The one i want
The one i want
The one i want
The one i want
The one i want
The one i want
The one i want
 
If i could ask for something
A mind that works
A poet could be beaten
Leave him in a ditch
Where he could dream
And fear some more
The injustice of the world
And the heavenly father
 
Everything visible and existing
Lose from my heels
In that moment everything would be
As i want
There would be no world
At least not the way it's perceived
In that moment all would be
As i want
 
Everything visible and existing
Lose from my heels
In that moment everything would be
As i want
There would be no world
At least not the way it's perceived
In that moment all would be
As i want
 
Everything visible and existing
Lose from my heels
In that moment everything would be
As i want
There would be no world
At least not the way it's perceived
In that moment all would be
As i want
 
The one i want
The one i want
The one i want
The one i want
The one i want
The one i want
The one i want
The one i want
 

Wego Wego

There must be no answer
I’m tottering like an extra of my own life
I’m not welcomed wherever I go
I’d rather crash my own day
I’ll slam into it, I’ll do it
 
I’d rather move one step forward than hesitating
Even though I come to a dead end We go We go
 
Anyway I don’t care, I don’t make excuses
Don’t worry cause I won’t blame you
Shut up Shut Shut Shut Shut Shut up
 
Take a deep breath Here we go
I’ll go crazy and jump around
There’s nothing more to lose, though
Born with empty hands
There’s nothing gotta fear
 
Said this is enough but
That wasn’t all We go We go
 
I’m not welcomed wherever I go
I’d rather crash my own day
I’ll slam into it, I’ll do it
 
I’d rather move one step forward than hesitating
Even though I come to a dead end We go We go
 
Anyway I don’t care, I don’t make excuses
Don’t worry cause I won’t blame you
Shut up Shut Shut Shut Shut Shut up
 
Take a deep breath Here we go
I’ll go crazy and jump around
There’s nothing more to lose, though
Born with empty hands
There’s nothing gotta fear
 
Take a deep breath Here we go
I’ll go crazy and jump around
There’s nothing more to lose, though
Born with empty hands
There’s nothing gotta fear
 

Marianne

You don't have to be scared of the Gods
Nor death
Nor men
You've already seen it with your eyes
It fell on everyone you love(d)
You don't believe the pouvoirs
Who oppose and assassinate
Your name they sing with hope
You, you carry the peace in your stomach
 
The freedom costs very little
But your children carry the fire
Your light shines beyond the sea
Corscuant in your name, Marianne
 
Marianne
Marianne where are you
Marianne
 
You expectorate on politics
Who melt our world on the scare
Before we start to hate and become fanatical
We don't kill your brothers and sisters
 
Oh no you would never believe
Your heart, your values, your roots
Marianne
Your ancestors gave you life
For your voice to guide your future
 
The freedom costs very little
She has the taste of blood and tears
Everyone, we can die with honor
But nobody
Nobody is called Marianne
 
For students for the future
For this mandatory paradise
For the imprisoned elites
For Afghan children
For all this for non-repetitive
For all these empty slogans
For the rubble of the fake houses
To feel relaxed
For the girl who wished it was a boy
 
Marianne (x16)
 

Suddenly Fall in Love

Nothing particularly happened but I just suddenly fall in love
This is almost like a joke, I just fall in love and crazy about you
It's not like you to ask me to go for a drive
For a little mood booster, with love written all over my face,
...we're pulled back to the beach we used to go
Something smells different on the beach this time
I'm really fall in love now
 
Nothing particularly happened but I just suddenly fall in love
I've never been jealous before until I fall deeply in love with you
You can't even understand what other feels which drive me mad
Just give me a light kiss or something, which is...
...maybe 10 years too early to expect from you,still sounds good
This sudden love requires me to act like a little cute devil
Nothing particularly happened but now I'm crazy about you
 
The bad weather of this season...
...must have clouded my judgment
I'm really in love now
 
Whatever, it's my loss to fall to this sudden love
I can't tell anyone that I've been head over heels on you
Seems like the wind and the waves will wash it away anyway
The funny line I'm supposed to say is stuck inside, I can't say it
I'm still quite inexperienced... pathetic me
 
Nothing particularly happened but I just suddenly fall in love
This is almost like a joke, I just fall in love and crazy about you
 

Now or Never

I'm packing my stuff
I'm looking back in
I'm putting it all behind me now
What will happen tomorrow?
What are we on?
We have enough we must make
'Cause it's now or never
 
Now, now
It's now, it's now, it's now, now
It's now or never
 
Now, now
It's now, it's now, it's now, now
It's now or never
 
Now, now
It's now, it's now, it's now, now
It's now or never
 
'Cause I wanna see my ground
We try new things
And do we know what we find now
It's now or never
 
Now, now
It's now, it's now, it's now, now
It's now
It's now or never
 
Now, now
It's now, it's now, it's now, now
It's now, it's now, it's now, it's now, now
It's now or never
 

Feathers of Four Seasons

The powdery snow flutters down,
coloring the mountain ridge white
The two inside a run-down house in a desolate village
huddle together in the winter night
 
“It’d also been snowing the day we’d met,”
you murmured with a smile
And I’d hidden my face flushed from the hearth
within the shadow of your large sleeve
 
With a breath of joy,
I sang of spring’s arrival along with the chirping birds
“Your voice is beautiful,” you told me,
and that alone, just those words, made me so happy
 
“If someday, I no longer had this beautiful voice,
would you still, even then, love me?”
“Of course,” you said, smiling gently
as your large hand softly stroked my cheek
 
One leaf-lit summer afternoon,
you collapsed from illness
Our poor married life
couldn’t afford the medicine to cure it
 
The next day, along with the following,
I did nothing but intently weave
I wouldn’t let your life fall
like the short-lived autumn leaves
 
The seasons flow by,
the bell crickets mark the end of the summer with their cries
“Your fingers are beautiful,” you told me,
gripping my wound-covered hands, but yours were much too cold…
 
“If someday, I no longer had these beautiful fingers,
would you still, even then, love me?”
“Of course,” you said,
coughing as your large hands caressed my hurting fingers
 
Day and night, don’t stop weaving
Hurry, hurry, I need to buy the medicine…
A little more, just a bit longer, before the maple leaves shed,
Until these fingers can’t move… Until these feathers are used up…
 
――Ah, the sunset’s breeze――
――sways the ruthlessly decaying fruit’s flame――
――Until it goes out――
 
“If someday, I were no longer human,
would you still love me?”
The truth I feared left unable to be told,
I softly pluck the final feather alone…
 
“Of course,” I say, smiling.
I promised I’d embrace you when you lost your wings
And that crane which had beautifully taken flight that day,
I’ve never forgotten, and still remember, even now
 
And just like always, I love you
 

Summer in Lapland

In Lapland all of nature blooms so quickly,
Dwarf birch and barleygrass on Lappish soil is borne.
These things I have considered long and often,1
when I see2 our people's present mood forlorn.
 
Why do these things of beauty seek the darkness
and all our treasures great wither away?
Why are our brightest minds consumed by madness?
Why does the kantele's3 song so seldom play?
 
Why are the best of men so swiftly cut down
as if tall grass, — men of true desire,
men of ideas, men of emotion, all left rotting,
their life's work turned to ashes in the fire?
 
In foreign lands, grey-hairs glitter in the firelight,
the soul's bright sun, though it be older, seems to bloom.
For us, the newborn babe already seems an old man,
the youthful are preparing for their tomb.
 
And me, myself? Why do I think this way?
An early sign, perhaps, of old age drawing near.
Why should I not now heed the instinct of my bloodline,
why is the dest'ny of this nation what I fear?
 
There is but one reply to that: the Lappish summer.
There, in one's thinking, a gloomy fog resides.
These Lappish things are brief: birdsong, and pleasure,
the flowers' blooming-time, and happiness besides.
 
But winter's reign is long, and for a moment
one's thoughts may take pause here, as if in flight,
then once again they travel south, ever sunward
and leave behind them Lapland's icy night.
 
O, splendid white birds, guests of the Lappish summer,
auspicious omens, I send my warm regards!
O, would you stay here, might you build your nest here,4
though you return one day to lands of southern stars!
 
O, from the swan,5 you may learn a hard-won lesson!
She6 leaves in autumn, but here in summer dwells.
For us, our gentle shores are ever calm and peaceful
and safe now are the softly sloping fells.7
 
May your wings soar across that blue sky, ever onwards!
Attend to your task, light this land vividly!8
But when you see from there that winter here has ended,
I beg of you, I pray: come back to me!

Burnt generation

One of us was given a few stars instead of his hands and feet
The other was not given the same stars instead of his hands and feet
One of us was torn apart in the war, the other was unable to do anything
Someone has returned to the trench to retrieve his friend's bones
 
Tell me what happened to our generation, to that rainy generation
The generation that passed through the mirror, silently in one motion
The generation that wanted to make the earth a paradise
But today even the sky of this generation is enclosed in a frame
 
One of us was given a few stars instead of his hands and feet
The other was not given the same stars instead of his hands and feet
One of us was torn apart in the war, the other was unable to do anything
Someone has returned to the trench to retrieve his friend's bones
 
The one whose tall stature was the shield of this land
To live in cold foreign lands, today, is looking for a small piece of land
Many of us were dropped off, many people boarded instead of us
One sacrificed his life to fight the night, but who that never fought became a star
 
One of us was given a few stars instead of his hands andfeet
The other was not given the same stars instead of his hands and feet
One of us was torn apart in the war, the other was unable to do anything
Someone has returned to the trench to retrieve his friend's bones

Back in the saddle again

I'm back in the saddle again
Out where a friend is a friend
Where the longhorn cattle feed
On the lowly gypsum weed
Back in the saddle again
 
Ridin' the range once more
Totin' my old .44
Where you sleep out every night
And the only law is right
Back in the saddle again
 
Whoopi-ty-aye-oh
Rockin' to and fro
Back in the saddle again
Whoopi-ty-aye-yay
I go my way
Back in the saddle again
 
I'm back in the saddle again
Out where a friend is a friend
Where the longhorn cattle feed
On the lowly gypsum weed
Back in the saddle again
 
Ridin' the range once more
Totin' my old .44
Where you sleep out every night
And the only law is right
Back in the saddle again
 
Whoopi-ty-aye-oh
Rockin' to and fro
Back in the saddle again
Whoopi-ty-aye-yay
I go my way
Back in the saddle again
 

Ideelles Weiterleben?

Bald
ein abgesägter, überholter
früh oder auch spät verstorbener Mann,
von dem man spricht wie von einer Sängerin
mit ausgesungenem Sopran
oder vom kleinen Hölty mit seinen paar Versen −
noch weniger: Durchschnitt,
nie geflogen,
keinen Borgward gefahren −
Zehnpfennigstücke für die Tram,
im Höchstfall Umsteiger.
 
Dabei ging täglich so viel bei dir durch
introvertiert, extrovertiert,
Nahrungssorgen, Ehewidrigkeit, Steuermoral −
mit allem musstest du dich befassen,
ein gerüttelt Maß von Leben in mancherlei Gestalt,
 
Auf einer Karte aus Antibes,
die ich heute erhielt,
ragt eine Burg in die Méditerranée,
eine fanatische Sache:
südlich, meerisch, schneeig, am Rande hochgebirgig −
Jahrhunderte, dramatisiert,
ragen, ruhen, glänzen, firnen, strotzen
sich in die Aufnahme −
 
nichts von alle dem bei dir,
keine Ingredienzien zu einer Ansichtskarte −
Zehnpfennigstücke für die Tram,
Umsteiger,
und schnell die obenerwähnte Wortprägung:
überholt.
