The Ballad of Sexual Dependency

Now, here's one as good as the devil himself
The butcher, he, and all the others, calves
The cheekiest dog! The worst whoremonger!
Who does him in, who does them all in? Women
Don't ask if he likes it, he's up for it
That's sexual dependency
 
He does not believe in the Bible, nor the law
He thinks himself the greatest egotist
Knows who so much as glances at a woman is compromised
And won't let a woman near him
He shouldn't celebrate too soon
Before it's night, he'll lie upstairs again
 
Many a man saw many a man croak
A great mind got stuck in a whore
And those who witnessed it, whatever they might have sworn to themselves,
When they croaked, who buried them? Whores
Whether they like it or not, they're up for it
That's sexual dependency
 
That one follows the Bible, flouts the law
He'll be a Christian, he'll be an anarchist
At lunch, you force yourself not to eat celery
In the afternoon, you devote yourself to some idea
In the evening, you say, 'I'll make it to the top'
But before it's night, you lie upstairs again
 
Now, here's one as good as on the gallows
They already bought the lime for his body
His life hangs by a brittle little thread
And what's he thinking of, the fellow? Girls
Even on the gallows, he's up for it
That's sexual dependency
 
He's long sold, anyway, lock, stock, and barrel
He's seen her with her thirty pieces of silver
And now he begins to understand
That that woman's hole is the one he'll be buried in
And though he may ramp and rage against himself,
Before it's night, he'll lie upstairs again

Is everything really fine as is?…





[Stanza omitted in this performance]
The world is washed by the rain, dried by the sun…
In this world, everyone knows:
If you can hear - then you must listen!
If you have a voice - then you must sing!
 

I did not go looking for a forbidden treasure.
Life threw me a nickel - on that nickel I lived.
I do not need anything... need not be anywhere.
Everything is fine as is. Everything is fine as is.
 

No abode, no yard… no cherry orchard…
Home and family to us - a tavern, everlasting
I do not need anything... need not be anywhere.
Everything is fine as is. Everything is fine as is.
 

From the latest war, my rewards are prostheses.
They say we died for nothing in the crucible of war.
I do not need anything... need not be anywhere!
Everything is fine as is. Everything is fine as is.
 

Even if we are docile, like an obedient herd,
And even if dogs cannot stomach our food.
We do not need anything! We need not go anywhere.
Everything is fine as is. Everything is fine as is.
 

Even though at times, we aren’t even glad to be living,
Even if the neighbor lives for a quarter a month.
She needs nothing, she needs not to go anywhere!
Everything is fine as is. Everything is fine as is.
 

And it seems to me that beyond the grave’s veil,
Chuckling in the coffin, I will say: 'What a nut!
I don't need anything... need not go anywhere...
Everything is fine as is. Everything is fine as is.
 

And when, finally, we’ll tire of humiliation,
Get tired of handouts, tired of fights -
Maybe then we will ask ourselves:
Is everything really fine as is? Is everything really fine as is?!

The Mariner





The Mariner, The Mariner
Has gone around the Earth
From Portugal to Peru
From Brazil down to England
 

The Mariner, The Mariner
Went on an adventure
On the Atlantic Ocean
He lived like a corsair
 

Gentlemen, gentlemen
The Mariner is back
Ladies, ladies
They say it's for love
Ola Olé, The Mariner is in town
Olé Ola, be careful with your daughters!
 

The Mariner, The Mariner
Arrives from the ends of the world
With magnificent silks
For brunette girls and blonde ones
 

The Mariner, The Mariner
Had left without wealth
He returns on a three-mast ship
Filled with gold and jewels
 

Gentlemen, gentlemen
The Mariner is back
Ladies, ladies
They say it's for love
Ola Olé, The Mariner is in town
Olé Ola, be careful with your daughters!
 

The Mariner, The Mariner
Loves the strong wind in the sails
The scorching sun of Africa
And the Northern Lights as well
 

The Mariner, The Mariner
Is a child of Bohemia
He doesn't know how to say thank you
But knows too well how to say I love you
 

Gentlemen, gentlemen
The Mariner is back
Ladies, ladies
They say it's for love
Ola Olé, The Mariner is in town
Olé Ola, be careful with your daughters!
 

Ola Olé, The Mariner is back
Olé Ola, they say it's for love

Don't look at me that way and kiss me no more





Don’t look at me that way tonight
As I sense your love in my heart
Don’t look at me as the music is playing
I’ll tell you the things I'm feeling
So close your eyes and leave
For your eyes are as green and dreamy
As once hers
I’m a man without the strength
To start all over again
I’m a dreamer
who’s dreamed
With only one woman
I’m a gambler with no luck
I’m scared
I’m begging you
Leave now
And don’t look at me that way
And kiss me no more
Don’t offer me your lips tonight
I’ll wish them to always kiss me
Don’t speak so nicely
I don’t trust the lips that lose
They lied to someone else
They will lie to me too
Like once hers once.
As they lied to someone else
They will lie to me too
Just like once hers

How beautiful this world is





How beautiful it is
This world
There the stream,
Here the flower,
Over there the field,
Here, the garden,
Up there, the sun,
Down here, the shade!
Over there the Danube,
Full of gold,
There the grass,
Here the shrub,
The nightingale's song
Sways the hedge.
I listen to it
And my friend.
