Not Today

Not today
I feel tired
I feel lost, empty and forgotten
With you by my side
 
Not today
This was more than enough
I don't need any more lies, betrayals
I'm destroyed
 
It doesn't matter who you were or who I was
You repaid me with the worst of you
I loved you more than life itself
And now I'm here with my soul crushed
 
Give me back my life
And the not wanting to hate you
Relieve this pain
Or at least return
My heart back to me in pieces
Give me back my life
So that I don't have to bother you anymore
Our love was divine,
Amazing, unforgettable
But this was then
Not today
 
It doesn't matter who you were or who I was (It doesn't matter anymore)
You repaid me with the worst of you (And I'll stay like this)
I loved you more than life itself (And I loved you)
And now I'm here with my soul crushed
 
Give me back my life
And the not wanting to hate you
Relieve this pain
Or at least return
My heart back to me in pieces
Give me back my life
So that I don't have to bother you anymore
Our love was divine,
Amazing, unforgettable
But this was then
Not today
 

Castellana 21

Castellana 211, weekend
Two in the morning, there I am
More than 36 years are always a brake
To fully indulge in any temptation
 
But suddenly I see her from table to table
As the bee does, from flower to flower
Handing us drinks without ever missing
Laughter or a phrase of love in her mouth
 
Who closes the door to that adventure?
She 23 years old, me alone there
Broken already the schemes of sanity
Before I knew it I was already there
 
Tangled up in a dream on the highest point
Not knowing how and when I was going to get out
And that's how we got to breakfast
Castellana 21, the two of us at last
 
August 17 among her clothes
The heat leaves little to guess
And even if one doesn't want to, the eyes go2
Without her seeming to care either
 
Who closes the door to that adventure?
She 23 years old, me alone there
Broken already the schemes of sanity
Before I knew it I was already there
 
Tangled up in a dream on the highest point
Not knowing how and when I was going to get out
And that's how we got to breakfast
Castellana 21, there in Madrid
 

• 1. an address in Madrid
• 2. after her body, ogling

Better Without You

I woke up without remembering what I did
But I asked no one to tell me
Considering the headache, I drinked a lot more than the liver can handle
 
With a hangover I feel happy
Of knowing that I don't have a place to go
I don't have anyone waiting, don't have a relationship to discuss
 
Today things are the way they should be
And you can see for yourself
That my life is so much better without you
 
I feel good where I am
Spending my vacations at the bar
Tonight I don't where I go, but I do know where I'm going to end up
 
But don't think that is easy for me
If no one sees me complaining
Everything that is good comes to an end, so who am I to disagree
 
Today things are the way they should be
And you can see for yourself
That my life is so much better, baby, without you
 
By the morning it's all nice
Afternoon I star to drink
At night I'm useless and there's nothing more that I think about doing
 
Life doesn't have a schedule
Everyone have its own way
Who had been born to walk alone, needs a lot time for itself
 
Today things are the way they should be
And you can see for yourself
That my life is so much better, baby, without you
 
Today things are the way they should be
And you can see for yourself
That my life is so much better, baby, without you
 

Ice

Spilling onto piles of rock
Uselessly flowing forward
Burning the granite mill
Greedily swallowing ice
 
Cold creek
Of our hopes
That will forever
Melt the ice
 
Without touching
The delicate water
It melted
With an easy whisper of silence
 
Fog laying down on the rocks
Closing the sky
Gifting earth kisses
Turns into fragile ice
 
Cold creek
Of our hopes
That will forever
Melt the ice
 
Without touching
The delicate water
It melted
With an easy whisper of silence
 
Time runs fast
But every time
It melts the ice
Inside of our hearts
 
Time runs fast
But every time
It melts the ice
Inside of our hearts
 
Without touching
The delicate water
It melted
With an easy whisper of silence
 
Without touching
The delicate water
It melted
With an easy whisper of silence
 

What do you have to give away?

I'm feeling you you're feelin' me the same
.,long time no see
I want to hold you so much right now!
But I know what you're really about.
 
Just tell me what to do
 
Bring your dream and we will make it come true.
In this desire to hold you
But my dreams go much farther.
'Cause I don’t know if you wanna go back
 
Nobody has ever given me anything as nice as this before.
Let’s put the past behind
Because not everything is what it seems.
I just want you... so you cannot disappointed.
 
I never lied to you,
And I should know.
I did everything for you.
Now I gave you everything want something from you.
 
This is the dream I carry in my heart
Bring your dream and we will make it come true.
In this desire to hold you
But my dreams go much farther.
'Cause I don’t know if you wanna go back
 
Nobody has ever given me anything as nice as this before.
Let’s put the past behind
Because not everything is what it seems.
I just want you... so you cannot disappointed.
 
Say the things that you'd always wished you'd said.
You know deep down what direction to take.
All I can remember
It’s what took me away from you
 
Nobody has ever given me anything as nice as this before.
Let’s put the past behind
Because not everything is what it seems.
I just want you... so you cannot disappointed.
 

Anguish

Anguish of not having you,
torment of not having your love,
anguish of not kissing you any more,
nostalgy of not hearing your voice.
 
I will never be able to forget
our nights by the sea,
Oh! with you... all illusion went,
the anguish filled my heart.
 
I will never be able to forget
our nights by the sea,
Oh! with you... all illusion illusion went,
the anguish filled my heart.
 

Like an Animal

I don't have to go... further
Suffering can emerge anew
Once more I brought
Bright light into the dark valley
 
Deeper... where it never stings again
It holds the power and the glistening light
Hid even something else
I'll finish this bloody business of mine
 
Like an animal
Further
Deeper
 
Like an animal
Faster
Higher
 
Like an animal
 
Faster... without rhyme or reason
We are bound by an eternal bond
Lost time like a drop in the wind
In this place where angels live
 
Higher... you'll never be
You're blinded by this heavenly glow
Something else even binds us
I'll finish this bloody business of mine
 
(Further)
(Deeper)
(Faster)
(Higher)
 
Like an animal
Further
Deeper
 
Like an animal
Faster

Go Go

You used to tell me on this basis
Other than me, nobody lives in your head
I am alone without you
I am alone
 
I chose you from all the people
In fact, your heart is without feelings
It can not live without unfaithfulness
Go Go Go
 
X2
You are not allowed to return
Stay away from my path and forget me
You were be my life and my soul
You left my heart broken
When I saw you with someone else
Go Go Go
 
The whole world does not concern me
Go and have fun with others
In the end, you will return and beg me to come back to you
Who has to leave once
Who has no loyalty
Sure, becomes traitor a hundred times
Go Go Go
 
X4
You are not allowed to return
Stay away from my path and forget me
You were be my life and my soul
You left my heart broken
When I saw you with someone else
Go Go Go
 

Sea

I exist and I understand that it's fine
I do not see, I do not hear, I only feel
Because it is hard for me to want for something I don't have for too long
I live and I realise it and I'm sad about it
 
I'm wading into the sea and you too
I sometimes come back, I find in you
I understand it, but it's too difficult for me
I wade into the sea
 
Could it be more realistic than I said to you
Could it stupider than I have tried
What are you thinking about, about what? Or maybe you are just scooping me uop
I'm seeking and when I find it, I leave you
 
I'm wading into the sea and you too
I sometimes come back, I find in you
I understand it, but it's too difficult for me
I wade into the sea
 
And I am you
And I am you
And you are me
And you are me
 

I like not saying much

Versions: #2
I like not saying much - not saying much
I like gazing up high - gazing up high
at the endless songs
 
flying with my shadow - flying
catching stars in the depths - in the depths
the depths of your music
 
and when the frost comes - the frost
making circles around the full -the full
the full moon of your stage
 
I like not saying much - not saying much
I like gazing up high - gazing up high

flying with my shadow - flying
catching stars in the depths - the depths
the depths of your music
 
and when the frost comes - the frost
making circles around the full - the full
the full moon of your stage
 
if only the dim lights - the dim
they were stars shining bright - shining
to put them in your hands
 
Eyes of mine, look for me - look for me
look in the streets of silence - of silence
On my own I'll be erasing my shape
 

Dancing in the Scent of Flowers

With a bright, brilliant radiance
Let's bloom like the flowers
 
All I want is a little courage to take the first step,
and a magic key to open my timid heart
And yet on the count of 'one, two, three!' we spring vigorously.
Our dream begins, our (true) dream - what form will it take?
 
Dance and dance
Don't let it scatter
Together with you, I want to count out more and more –
Unseen views
 
Arranged in fragrant colors, with a bright, brilliant radiance (yes)
Let's bloom like flowers! (yes, yes)
I hope to be able to watch over you from now on.
Arranged in fragrant colors, with a bright, blazing radiance
These flowering feelings are eternal. (yes, yes)
After all, a maiden's way is left to the wind
Is what I murmured... that's a maiden's heart!
 
If you hestitate, nothing will happen.
But your eyes alone say you're ready to move forward.
So 'come on, let's go!' – Tomorrow is shining
And this brilliant dream (it's for real), this dream
Will manifest in colors
 
Sing and sing
while we're lighthearted
I want to always, always have fun together
In this cherry blossom-colored harmony
 
On scattered petals, it flows strongly, strongly (yes)
This ephemeral floral fragrance! (Yes Yes)
I want to always be with you.
On scattered petals, it flows strongly, strongly (yes)
Before getting drunk from the meetings and partings (yes, yes)
I want to softly gaze into each other's eyes,
and feel....
your presence...
That's a maidens wish!
 
Dance – and feel such a joy now
Dance – look we're in such a joy
Feeling like we can jump as high as we want!
Sing – having so much fun now!
Sing – see how much fun we're having
This feeling of wanting to have fun together forever, forever
resonates a cherry blossom-colored harmony
 
Arranged in fragrant colors, with a bright, brilliant radiance (yes)

This colorful fragrance,
I do not want it to fade away
 

Yellow Markers and Fat Catechists

Once I wasn't that silly, I had both crayons and a pencil case,
I had a timetable with Lionel Messi, I'd study at home for every quiz.
Once I wasn't that silly, fat catechists1 would bring us milk and carrots,
And everyone drank it, and everyone ate them, and everyone gobbled them up2.
There's no good and evil, there's only those nice and those naughty,
and they swap Lego minifigures for stickers.
Every day at 7:30 there was a school assembly, and then the rosary.
First they'd drill us, and then we'd say amen.
Every day we'd read the Old Testament and the New Testament,
and The Word would become flesh.
There was this bald priest in glasses, he'd give us cool sermons.
Every first Friday we'd go to mass, on Thursdays there were meetings,
meetings for parents, not for us. They'd make us sandwiches for breakfast,
And sisters would give them to the homeless if we didn't eat up.
And sisters would make us toasts and tell us to kiss the bread if it fell to the floor, and we'd kiss that bread when it fell.
And now I'm begging you, please kiss me, too, because I'm waiting for a signal that I should get up.
 
And although I see with a naked eye that heaven and earth unite somewhere,
It's still far away and I'm really afraid that I'll lose my strength.
And although I actually know more proofs that you don't exist at all,
I'll still try to live as though you were.
 
Once I had a pretty wife and a plastic watch,
I'm thinking about that when I see a sleeping fish on the TV screen at four in the morning
I now appreciate nap times back in kindergarten, although I didn't sleep then at all.
And I'm thinking what is the nap time these days.
Do you remember us talking about various things before going to sleep,
sometimes even about stupid ones?
But I laid hope and faith in you like elbows on a windowsill,
or granulated tea on a table.
Because there are things that we mustn't drink
and that we mustn't eat, like rowanberries, for instance.
And when we eat fish, we have to watch out for bones, but we don't have to fast as much as adults.
And now touch me, just a little bit will be enough,
I don't want to go back anymore to our memories on the shield3.
And now touch me if you hear this, because I'd like to know so much that you're looking.
 

• 1. 'katechetki' - 'female catechists'
• 2. 'każdemu uszy się trzęsły' - lit. 'everyone's ears were shaking' which means that everyone ate eagerly.
• 3. 'wspomnienia na tarczy' - lit. 'memories on a shield', hard to translate. Probably a reference to the idiom 'wrócić na tarczy' (lit. 'return on a shield'), which means 'to fail.'

I'm lonely because i don't have you

Boring April rains have once washed off shadows from the wall
Since then i drink a few drops over the line of extent, over the line of shame
Once i loved all the way to the end of sky, where winds blow
Once i had everything i need for my soul
 
Now i don't know where to find a place for me in this wide world
I'm not lonely cause i have no one
I'm lonely because i don't have you
 
Once i loved all the way to the end of sky, where winds blow
Once i had everything i need for my soul
 
Now i don't know where to find a place for me in this wide world
I'm not lonely cause i have no one
I'm lonely because i don't have you (2x)
 
Now i don't know where to find a place for me in this wide world
I'm not lonely cause i have no one
I'm lonely because i don't have you
 

Shore Daraye, Shesh Barer Moto - Stepping Aside, For the last time

Someone is coming through the fog
The light of lantern drains my fear
Where am I going this late at night?
He asks me
I can't tell
I don't know
Where am I?
In the middle of what, how?
Darkness, darkness everywhere
Lightning flashes, burns my my eyes
Walked this path, watched darkness many times
Many times
Many times
The morning talks are coming back
Remembering bits of civilized noon
Afternoon-Evening Night after Night meaningless pain
Plans to make everything right
Come back, don't leave me in the dark
Everything's gonna work this time, please listen to me
The angel of death, won't take me
Broke the old place down to come here
Please take me
Please take me
Please take me
Where am I?
In the middle of what, how?
Darkness, darkness everywhere
Lightning flashes, burns my my eyes
Walked this path, watched darkness
Many times
Many times
I want back the old
I want back the old
I want back the old obscure
The obscure faded, drowned laughter
Come back, you've gone too far away
Come back, let's go now
Go somewhere and sit
Come back, you've gone too far away
Come back, let's go now
Go somewhere and sit
 

Dusk (He's coming)

The postman is no longer passing,
my phone does not ring,
deserted and endless road
now that he does not love me
 
But in the dusk
the north winds cry
and thousands of mouths
'Coming', 'coming',
'He's coming' they tell me
 
I did not get news from none of friends,
I did not hear from you
If I send you my bitter tear
it will be lost with you too
 
But in the dusk
the north winds cry
and thousands of mouths
'Coming', 'coming',
'He's coming' they tell me
 

My friends at dawn

Versions: #1
I hear laughter and footsteps on the stairs
my friends again come home at dawn
still holding their bottles of beer
they pass my door singing happily
 
And I'm still waiting for you laughter
holding a glass, turbid by my breath
I hear a knock on my door, but I don't answer
because tonight I want to hide from everyone
 
Because I can't stand them, coupled
and I, without having you to hold in my arms
What am I doing here, with so much love around me?
I envy them all and I'm longing for your caress
A body lost in the winds
What am I doing here among the lovers?
 
I'm out of lies to tell them
I told them you travel for your work
and while I wan to be part of their joy
I let my pride prevail
 
Because I'm still waiting to hear your footsteps
holding a glass turbid by my breath
I hear a knock on my door, but I don't answer
because tonight I want to hise from everyone

Nothing, just nonsense

I'm just a piglet!
 
Is everything all right?
Moving story
 
It's a shame when he eats
It looks like a sack that encloses with a drawstring
I know my skin is thick, I am sensitive
When my friends go, I have pneumonia
I wish I was with you
I'm sorry to hear that
Shame on you
Shameless
I want to change my name
For example, Brett
I'm embarrassed and ashamed, I'm very upset
Won't you stop me?
No, I do not stop cultured pig

Water Spring

Spending salary for myself
Buying one ticket of the newest movie
Ordering just one portion

Celebrate your feelings as a human
 
If you ever got hurt, raise your hand

If you ever feel disappointed, raise your hand

If you ever feel happy, raise your hand
If you ever feel disappointed, raise your hand

Mother's Jewel

Very beautiful, this jeweled ring
That I use in my ring finger
Oh darling
A souvenir from my dearest mother
When going to the afterlife
 
When I remember, my dearest mother
This jeweled ring, I kiss it passionately
Tears falling down
Lamentation of my tears pierced my heart
Oh darling
But what can I do, I'm helpless
This jeweled ring, I kiss it passionately
 
When I remember, my dearest mother
This jeweled ring, I kiss it passionately
Tears falling down
Lamentation of my tears pierced my heart
Oh darling
But what can I do, I'm helpless
This jeweled ring, a friend in grief
 

It kills me

You drag me by my head,
you pull me by the nose,
you've got me crazy, so crazy,
so crazy but happy,
you've got me, you've got me
hand, hand, hand, hand-tied,
 
It kills me, it kills me, it kills me,
Your gaze kills me,
It kills me,
It kills me, it drags me,
It pulls me, it tears my head off
It kills me, it kills me, it kills me,
Your gaze kills me,
It kills me,
You kill me, you drag me,
You pull me, you tear my head off
It kills me...
 
You've got me like drugged down,
I don't wanna run away,
you've hipnotized me
I can't wake up,
you've incarcerated me,
pa, pa, pa, paralyzed,
 
It kills me, it kills me, it kills me,
Your gaze kills me,
It kills me,
It kills me, it drags me,
It pulls me, it tears my head off
It kills me, it kills me, it kills me,
Your gaze kills me,
It kills me,
You kill me, you drag me,
You pull me, you tear my head off
It kills me...
 

Open your eyes

I want to see you everytime
Just give my feelings one chance
Even if you don't want me
I still love you
 
I know you're avoiding me
You may love someone else
I always remember our past
I cry when I recall our promises together
 
I told you before
I'm your only love
And you left me like this
You hurt my heart
 
Open your heart
Open your eyes
So you can see
Open your heart
 
Open your eyes
So you can see
I hope you find true love
I pray that you'll be happy
 
Just be careful
There's lots of temptation
Specially times like these
Mind can be easily led astray
Open your heart
 
Open your eyes
So you can see
Open your heart
Open your eyes
 
So you can see
Open your heart
Open your eyes
So you can
 

Demands

I’m not going back I still have demands
I’m not going back I still have demands
Give us a civilian government
And the blood of those who killed the students
 
The people came out to face it all
Revolutionaries chanting “we won’t go back”
Our women, forever on the front lines
Revolutionary, free and unbowed by the military
 
It’s really simple all we want is freedom, no violence and brutality
We fight together and we march together, to make our dream a reality
It’s really simple all we want is justice, no violence and brutality
We fight together and we march together, for peace and equality
 
I’m not going back I still have demands
I’m not going back I still have demands
Give us a civilian government
And the blood of those who killed the students
 
Civil

By Chance, New Town

It reaches me through online news, the tale of your heroism
Generation after generation, the shooting star of this lonely town
 
By chance, I just happened to be there, that's all
By chance, we just happened to meet eyes that day, that's all it was
 
To the lifestyle of us two living in New Town,
I don't want a new type, the truth about the rumors, no thank you
 
In the intersection where the deadline lies in wait
Pretending to have it tough, a heroine of falsehoods
Scared of rollercoasters, there's no way you could be, right?
I'll put a ribbon on all the bothersome things, and it's a present (for you)
 
By chance, I just happened to be there, that's simply all
By chance, our hands happened to touch that day, that's simply all it was
 
Inside the case in a 2 bedroom apartment in New Town,
A nuclear family that has nothing like mutant growth going on
Deep breaths during the cooldown, with two out and bases loaded
The New Town floated up, an ordinary sweet home
 
New town, new town, new town,
By chance, new town
New town, new town
By chance
 

See You Tomorrow!

Well, see you tomorrow!
A small promise, exchanging smiles
 
Occasionally I feel depressed, and there are also things that are about to break me
Instead of complaining, I just grip my fist
 
No need to say anything because I'll understand
There is also that kind of days but it's all right, that's why it's okay to run, roll and climb over it
 
The sinking setting sun, piercing my heart, the usual way back home
Well, see you tomorrow!
A small promise, exchanging smiles
 
Always reckless, I just live honestly
My happiness is about meeting friends I want to protect and think of
 
Overreach myself, endure myself, until I shape my form
Accepting myself as is, that's why it's okay to smile more or cry
 
In the twilight city, walking side by side, the usual way back home
Well, see you tomorrow!
A small promise, exchanging smiles
 
Because I don't want to see the crying faces of my family, friends and important people
I'll become stronger, stronger than today
 
The gentle wind, grazing my cheek, the usual way back home
Well, see you tomorrow!
A small promise, because I will always be here waiting
 
Always always always
Surely surely surely
Always always always
 

Statues

Versions:
In this holy hour
When our lips meet
And lock up thousands of 'I love yous'
In this holy hour
We don't need words
Our love speaks for the both of us
 
Statues, we'd become statues
In this holy hour
At this moment
My love, I'd die in your arms
You'd die in my arms, too
As if a kiss were a knife
 
In this holy hour
When our hands are burning
When longing is both sweet and torturous
Time would stop in this holy hour
When the words 'I love you' were spoken
 
Statues, we'd become statues
In this holy hour
At this moment
My love, I'd die in your arms
You'd die in my arms, too
As if a kiss were a knife
 

Vande Mataram

Versions: #1
Mother, I praise thee!
Rich with thy hurrying streams,
bright with orchard gleams,
Cool with thy winds of delight,
Dark fields waving Mother of might,
Mother free.
 
Glory of moonlight dreams,
Over thy branches and lordly streams,
Clad in thy blossoming trees,
Mother, giver of ease
Laughing low and sweet!
Mother I kiss thy feet,
Speaker sweet and low!
Mother, to thee I praise thee.
 
Who hath said thou art weak in thy lands
When the swords flash out in seventy million hands
And seventy million voices roar
Thy dreadful name from shore to shore?
With many strengths who art mighty and stored,
To thee I call Mother and Lord!
Thou who savest, arise and save!
To her I cry who ever her foeman drove
Back from plain and Sea
And shook herself free.
 
Thou art wisdom, thou art law,
Thou art heart, our soul, our breath
Thou art love divine, the awe
In our hearts that conquers death.
Thine the strength that nerves the arm,
Thine the beauty, thine the charm.
Every image made divine
In our temples is but thine.
 
Thou art Durga, Lady and Queen,
With her hands that strike and her swords of sheen,
Thou art Lakshmi lotus-throned
And the Muse a hundred-toned,
Pure and perfect without peer,
Mother lend thine ear,
Rich with thy hurrying streams,
Bright with thy orchard gleems,
Dark of hue O candid-fair
 
In thy soul, with bejeweled hair
And thy glorious smile divine,
Loveliest of all earthly lands,
Showering wealth from well-stored hands!
Mother, mother mine!
Mother sweet, I praise thee,
Mother great and free
 

Vande Mataram

Mother, I praise thee!
Rich with thy hurrying streams,
bright with orchard gleams,
Cool with thy winds of delight,
Dark fields waving Mother of might,
Mother free.
 
Glory of moonlight dreams,
Over thy branches and lordly streams,
Clad in thy blossoming trees,
Mother, giver of ease
Laughing low and sweet!
Mother I kiss thy feet,
Speaker sweet and low!
Mother, to thee I praise thee.
 
Who hath said thou art weak in thy lands
When the swords flash out in seventy million hands
And seventy million voices roar
Thy dreadful name from shore to shore?
With many strengths who art mighty and stored,
To thee I call Mother and Lord!
Thou who savest, arise and save!
To her I cry who ever her foeman drove
Back from plain and Sea
And shook herself free.
 
Thou art wisdom, thou art law,
Thou art heart, our soul, our breath
Thou art love divine, the awe
In our hearts that conquers death.
Thine the strength that nerves the arm,
Thine the beauty, thine the charm.
Every image made divine
In our temples is but thine.
 
Thou art Durga, Lady and Queen,
With her hands that strike and her swords of sheen,
Thou art Lakshmi lotus-throned
And the Muse a hundred-toned,
Pure and perfect without peer,
Mother lend thine ear,
Rich with thy hurrying streams,
Bright with thy orchard gleems,
Dark of hue O candid-fair
 
In thy soul, with bejeweled hair
And thy glorious smile divine,
Loveliest of all earthly lands,
Showering wealth from well-stored hands!
Mother, mother mine!
Mother sweet, I praise thee,
Mother great and free
 

When To Return

Maybe we gave up1
too quickly
from who did we hide our faces
and until when
with the time
it leaves a sign
everything goes up in smoke here
and man eats man2
we are forbidden to approach
 
Tell me when to return
if in the window a light is shining
if i have, i have, i have
or i don't, i don't, i don't
tell me when to return
 
Maybe we gave up too quickly
from who did we hide our faces
and until when
this world is strange
dark, hungry, deceitful
strikes like a punch in the heart
and i am wiped out, write, leave
until we will be allowed to approach
 
Tell me when to return
if this is the end or a ray of light
if i have, i have, i have
or i don't, i don't, i don't
tell me when to return
 
Maybe we gave up too quickly...
