Body, mind, wealth are all yours

My body, mind, and wealth are all yours
Without you there's nothing that's mine.
My body, mind, and wealth are all yours
Without you there's nothing that's mine.
Day and night I'll sing songs of you,
My body, mind, and wealth are all yours
Without you there's nothing that's mine.
Day and night I'll sing songs of you,
My body, mind, and wealth are all yours.
 
What are the earth, the sun and the moon?
What are the earth, the sun and the moon?
The world is just a trick, an illusion,
I'm a very simple person,
And the world is a den of thieves.
My body, mind, and wealth are all yours.
Without you there's nothing that's mine.
Day and night I'll sing songs of you,
My body, mind, and wealth are all yours.
 
What's mine and what's not?
What's mine and what's not?
Why (should I) willingly get beaten up?
Life is full of comings and goings,
It's a round trip for a hermit.
My body, mind, and wealth are all yours.
Without you there's nothing that's mine.
Day and night I'll sing songs of you.

To Veterans

Thank you for the silence!
I bow down to you, veterans!
You have gone through that terrible war.
Your wounds remain for you as a keepsake.
 
You see in your dreams those horrible times
When you were young.
You couldn't ever forget those times.
 
It is not possible not to remember the past.
It is not possible to ease the pain of the past.
You will remember forever
That the war has broken your hearts!
 
It has taken your brothers and friends,
Your sisters and mothers.
It has taken and burned everything.
It has ruined your lives.
 
It has separated you and your families,
Your native houses and your country.
But you didn't die in the battles.
You didn't capitulate to fascists.
You remained faithful to your Motherland.
 
You gave a precious gift to your Fatherland:
Victory and happiness without war!
Thank you for the silence.
 
Thank you for surviving that war!
I thank you for peace and joy!
Thank you for the sweetness of freedom!
We will be grateful forever to you, dear veterans!

Because finally things are working

Don't shut me out again
Don't close(the door) on me
and I ask of you to stop hiding yourself
Because finally things are working
no bonds can hold me down
Because finally things are working
and we'll help out, hand in hand
 
down the mountain side we go
and you'll get peace away from fear
Because finally things are working
I'll be by your side
 
Anna! go back home
your life is there
Enjoy the sun and open the gates from there
 
Yes, but-
 
I know! you mean well
but go from me
yes, I'm alone but I want to be here
yes, go your way, and take shelter from me
 
That doesn't work out
what do you mean not work out?
I think that you're a little slow.
why am I slow?
 
Arendell is in deep, deep snow.
What?
You put on an eternal winter, everywhere
everywhere?
but that's okay, you just have to thaw it
No, I can't do that, I don't know how
Yes you can, I know you can
 
-Because finally things are working
-I'm such a fool, I can't be free
-You don't have to be afraid
-And if I fail the fight will win
-Our destiny will be found
-I can't control it
-The Icy armor will melt
-Anna, that's too much of a risk
-don't be scared
-Agony sees me
-The sun will shine bright
-You can't be here
-We'll face this together, change this winter wind to fun
-Not possible(?)

The rude

[Verse 1]
You broke my heart
I didn't think it would hurt me
And if I tell you the truth
It hurt me that it fucks
If that wasn't your intention
It hurts like it is
They say I write you a song
They better shut that mouth
 
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not stupid, although sometimes it seems
I upload post, many posts
So that you think it was brief to forget you, to get over you (yes)
I'm going to hit the radio to chase you and tell you
 
[Chorus]
Hey, you screwed up because you broke my heart
And I am the cock, I swear that you will regret it
You will see, that I will be
With someone more beautiful than you
 
[Verse 2]
I want to have a big house
Many dogs, one plane and great pride
Or at least that it seems
So that all your friends appear
I know that's not right, but it makes me feel good
I know that's not right, but it makes me feel good
 
[Chorus]
Hey, you screwed up because you broke my heart
And I am the cock, I swear that you will regret it
You will see, that I will be
With someone more beautiful than you
 
[Bridge]
Wash my mouth with soap and water
'Cause my tongue got loose and I feels like a bastard
When you want to come back and he tells you no
I'm going to be on television
Oh, there is no one like your ex
There is no such person anymore, no, no, no
Oh, no, no (yeah)
 
[Chorus]
Hey, you screwed up because you broke my heart
And I am the cock, I swear that you will regret it
You will see, that I will be
With someone more beautiful than you, uh

Haïku 8 Vera Jahnke

The passing the passing
Of Vera
In the clouds in the wind
Will Always have
For me the same look as
That of a great Swan slow and wise
Astonishing
In my autumn garden.

Care paisane, 17. The chimney! And you, for a salary.

The chimney! And you, for a salary
betray your land, your race...
Baptism just an occasion to wash your head,
not even beasts: puppets is what you are!
 
You are puppets... Numbers! Idiots!
By the press, the forge, the mintage, the ovens,
Dear Francesco do you know? You are slaves,
for twenty thousands lire a day...
 
And you are not able to hammer!
You can't use a wrench!
These are not your skills! And 'Hey what is a casting?
 
Do you wash concrete? And what is a cutter?'.
And then you fake inness:
'Absent!' we'll talk about it at the end of the month...

Not As A Friend

I want to look into your eyes
I want to talk with you
Tell you nice things
Real close to your ear
To see you always in my dreams
As your man and not as a friend
 
I love you, I want you and I'd love to have you with me
I don't want you to continue treating me as a friend
I love you, I want you and I'd love to have you with me
I'd like to look into your eyes, lose myself with you
 
I want your immense love
And for it to be shared with me
And your heart of roses
To be interlocked with mine
To see you always in my dreams
As your man and not as a friend
 
I love you, I want you and I'd love to have you with me
I don't want you to continue treating me as a friend
I love you, I want you and I'd love to have you with me
I'd like to look into your eyes, lose myself with you

A girl in a Greenpeace shirt

She's asleep or pretending to sleep...
a fly comes and sits on her mouth
and nevertheless my world ends in her
 
She's got tired of always sleeping in sofas
and of covering her mouth not to scream.
 
She never knew how to make a living.
Her crib were the scraps of a Mehari
When she gets angry she sizzles unbearably
 
She runs away from dimwit suckers
and novice pimps
and just in case she never dwells near the traintracks
without looking behind... looking behind!
 
Dirtmuth, little sorceress
a girl who pretends to be old
trying for some naive fool to eat the bait
 
Her jean is tight on her strawberry and she's the queen
on walls she writes on fucking her star
 
She dreams of a ruffian
who can give her footing and blow her love
and the joy for which her world spins
 
She runs away from dimwit suckers
and novice pimps
she uses her tongue like a sabre
while she laughs and rushes us...
and just in case she never dwells near the traintracks
without looking behind... looking behind!

Moon Sand

The words scatter with a withered sound,
your words that piled up in my heart
My reason to live, as if it were sand,
is carried off by the wind, leaving only a trace
 
The midwinter sky covered in gray
Did it get muddled with too many colors?
Seems like someone tried to draw
on my heart, and failed
 
Despite every passing day,
It only grows stronger,
My [feelings] for you
 
I live carrying a bouquet of grief and hatred
in my chest
The fragments of your words, turn into sand
Even if I try to collect them
they only slip from my hands
 
I'm the only one getting hurt
Only one crying
I'm the only one
that still has feelings for you
 
Was there a little bit of truth to your words?
I can't help but doubt everything
I wanted to get to know the real you, but
I think I didn't want to learn that now
 
Like a warm moon
I wanted to protect you
I wonder if my feelings for you
were just a burden in the end
 
I live carrying a bouquet of grief and hatred
in my chest
The fragments of your words, turn into sand
Even if I try to collect them
they only slip from my hands
It's irritating, but
My tears remain, I yearn for you
 
The words scatter with a withered sound,
your words that piled up in my heart

Summer Flower

It's goodbye.
Believe me or not, it's the truth.
I see you've cried.
You knew about it, since when?
 
Summer flower, now... it's over.
 
An enchanted night.
Stars that shine brightly with light.
I feel tired.
I don't want to say a word, you talk.
 
Summer flower, now... it's over.
 
Perhaps I dreamed you lived happily next to me,
always happy inside my arms.
I thought that for you it was enough to get here,
perhaps escaping from some shipwreck.
 
Oh la la la la la la la.
Oh la la la la la la la.
 
Pale fires.
We're two gipsies in winter.
The warm games
didn't last long
and the night took them away.
 
Summer flower, now... it's over.
 
Perhaps I dreamed you lived happily next to me,
always happy inside my arms.
I thought that for you it was enough to get here,
perhaps escaping from some shipwreck.
 
Oh la la la la la la la.
Oh la la la la la la la.
 
Close your eyes and you'll always be next to me,
always happy inside my arms.
And you'll think that you have got here again
perhaps escaping from some shipwreck.

Pack Your Things

Why continue suffering
and make this agony any longer
I'm tired of giving myself whole and only receiving small pieces
Of a mere fantasy love
 
My destiny isn't with you
I loved you and you failed me
Why prolong the inevitable, I want you gone
Because I longer want to deal with you
Just pack your things so that nothing's left
I don't want you to come back with excuses and promises
I'll take any trace of you out of my mind and soul
There won't be any of you
And this heart which beats for you will finally rest
Which you so many times hurt and humiliated
And these hands which always caressed you
Now are waving you goodbye
 
My destiny isn't with you
I loved you and you failed me
Why prolong the inevitable, I want you gone
Because I longer want to deal with you
Just pack your things so that nothing's left
I don't want you to come back with excuses and promises
I'll take any trace of you out of my mind and soul
There won't be any of you
And this heart which beats for you will finally rest
Which you so many times hurt and humiliated
And these hands which always caressed you
Now are waving you goodbye

Corona 34: the frogs

a frog
thrown
into hot water
leaps
out
immediately
 
but
gradually
heated
it stays
motionless
getting boiled
alive
 
i wish
i could
kiss
this frog
awake
 
but that
is sadly
just a
fairy tale

Chimeras

I looked under my bed and whispered, I missed you
I looked under my bed and asked
What does she say of your immaculate game?
Does she have any idea you've sinned?
 
I looked under my bed and found chimeras of you
All in spite of myself
 
I looked under my bed and inhaled a powdery aroma
The pages of my diaries where I die in your hands
 
Humberto, Humberto, what monster have you turned me into?
Humberto, Humberto, what chaos you've let loose!
 
I looked under my bed and found chimeras of you
All in spite of myself
 
Over cups of coffee making me sleepless at your mercy
Muffled cry, brown germ
Humberto is unleashed!
 
Under my bed I keep the damage that deceives me now
Humberto, Humberto my monstrosity
Humberto, Humberto storyteller
 
How I tempt you!
I looked under my bed and found chimeras of you
All in spite of myself
 
Chimeras of you
All in spite of myself

What's it?

I fell in love with you without wanting to, my love
I don't know how to explain what happened
Maybe it was your smile, your warmth
But I know that you have awakened so much love
 
What's it? What's it?
What have you done to me?
What's it? What's it?
I can not live without you
What's it? What's it?
You are everything to me and more
 
Today I can't find the words to make
Your heart understand my love
Every day I realize more and more
That the love that I feel for you will grow
 
What's it? What's it?
What have you done to me?
What's it? What's it?
I can not live without you
What's it? What's it?
What have you done to me?
What's it? What's it?
I can not live without you
 
I fell in love with you without wanting to, my love
I don't know how to explain what happened
Maybe it was your smile, your warmth
But I know that you have awakened so much love
 
What's it? What's it?
What have you done to me?
What's it? What's it?
I can not live without you
What's it? What's it?
You are everything to me and more
 
Today I can't find the words to make
Your heart understand my love
Every day I realize more and more
That the love that I feel for you will grow
 
What's it? What's it?
What have you done to me?
What's it? What's it?
I can not live without you
What's it? What's it?
What have you done to me?
What's it? What's it?
I can not live without you

Sphere

By the way, that sphere that tempted me without looking at me
Was nothing more than a sound
That would lead me to try to run away from you... exit you
 
Once more, not knowing why
I quit so I could tell you:
I'm done, I want more...
If it isn't so,
Hide that smile which makes me want to kill for more
More, more...
I want more...
More, more...
So hide that smile which makes me want to kill for more
 
Only then will I manage to not make it hurt anymore
For you to let me go,
For you to free me from you, for you not make me feel
And I don't want to fall, I cannot give myself away
Without your understanding that you cannot judge
And I want to try, to be able to believe
That the angst here inside
One day shall come to an end
And the monster in me will not succumb
It doesn't whither by not making it
That you look at me, that you make me exist
So hide that smile which makes me want to kill for more

Little Affairs

You're going through it. Without paying attention.
 
I have my life equal to me.
 
All my life.
 
Incidents.. You may not interest you.
 
I'm building palaces.
 
And live on it for months.
 
And I spin a lot of stories from her.
 
And a thousand heavens.
 
And a thousand islands.
 
Affairs..
 
Your little affairs.
 
When you smoke, i kneel in front of you.
 
Like your good cat.
 
And I'm safe.
 
I'm chasing a fan.-
 
Smoke strings
 
Distribute it in the corners of the place.
 
Circles.. Circles
 
And you leave at the end of the night for me.
 
As a star, as an immigrant.
 
And leave me, my life friend.
 
For the smell of tobacco and memories.
 
And I keep.
 
In solitary frost.
 
And all my supplies is
 
Cigarette debris
 
And a plate. It's made up of ashes.
 
Featuring gray.
 
***
And when I'm sick.
 
And you carry your precious flowers.
 
My friend.. To me
 
And you put my hand in your hands.
 
It's up to me to color and wellness.
 
And the sun sticks in my cheek.
 
And I'm crying. And I'm crying. Without will.
 
And you're giving my cover back to me.
 
And make my head over the pillow.
 
I wished all the wishes.
 
My friend.. If I
 
I keep. I'm staying aday.
 
To ask about me.
 
To bear me every day.
 
Beautiful roses.
 
And if the phone rings in our house,
 
I'm flying to it.
 
me.. My dear friend.
 
With the joy of a little boy.
 
Longing as a lost bird
 
And embrace the rigid machine.
 
And squeeze its cold wires.
 
And i'm waiting for the sound.
 
Your voice matters to me.
 
A double. Full.. Strong
 
Like the voice of a prophet.
 
Like the sound and impact of the stars.
 
Like the sound of the fall of the ornaments.
 
And I'm crying. And I'm crying.
 
Because you thought about
 
Because you're from the balconies of the clouds.
 
She cheered for me.
 
***
And the day I come to you.
 
To borrow a book.
 
To pretend I came to borrow a book.
 
Stretch your tired fingers.
 
To the library.
 
And I keep. In the fog of fog.
 
It's like I'm an unanswered question.
 
I'm staring at you and the library.
 
Like a good cat.
 
You've found out?
 
See you know?
 
I came to change the book.
 
And I'm nothing but a liar.
 
And he quickly went to my room..
 
I add the book to my ribs.
 
It's like I've been with me.
 
And light my light. And i'm going to stow away around me.
 
And dig between the lines. And behind the lines.
 
And get back behind the commas. Come back.
 
Behind the spin points
 
And my head is spinning.
 
It's like I'm a hungry bird.
 
You're looking for seed waste.
 
Maybe.. Hey, i don't know what you' My dear friend.
 
I was left in one corner.
 
A short love phrase.
 
A little longing garden
 
Maybe among the sheets, you hid something.
 
A little peace. Bring peace back to me.
 
***
And when we're together on the way.
 
And unwittingly take my arm.
 
I feel like I'm.
 
With something deep.
 
Something like a fire.
 
On my elbow.
 
And raise my hands to the sky.
 
To make my path unfinished.
 
And I'm crying. And cry without interruption
 
So i'm going to keep losing.
 
And when I get back in the evening, I'm back in my room.
 
And take off my shoulders.
 
I feel like, and what you're in my room.
 
That your hands.
 
A phone at the mercy of my elbow.
 
And I stay to worship, exhausted.
 
Where your warm fingers are.
 
On the sleeve of my blue dress..
 
And I'm crying. And I'm crying. Uninterrupted
 
It's like my arm's not my arm.

extraterrestrial sweets

I received an order to send you
On a special mission to the planet earth
 
Extraterrestrial sweets
For the sad soul
Enjoy it, your journey will start imminently
The depression will disappear
 
Extraterrestrial sweets
For the sad soul
To taste them is a good step
Into a life without additional fear
 
It's during the fourth
You're driving home
But on the wrong way
Now it's becoming problematic
 
Deplorable man
Stop for fuel
And leave to us the steering
Of the end of the night
 
Inside the station
You notice our signal
You're curios
About this riddle
 
You are Arthur Dent
We are your space capsule
You are David Vincent
We are your invaders
 
We speak in the language of the earthlings
Thus, for a moment
We'll forget the martian language
 
Extraterrestrial sweets
For the sad soul
For unforgettable memories
Delicious delight without limits
 
Enjoy our staged
Little adventure
You'll feel good
After the pleasures of this night
But ask nothing
Because there is no answer
Just buy things
From the martian world
 
We begin to rule your conscience
We begin to rule your opinions
We begin to rule the situation
We begin to rule, we begin to rule!
 
Can you imagine what would happen
If the earthlings arrived?
They would make us chew chewing gum
Read mangas, our radio waves were
Full of telenovelas, pafklik-music...
We'd might end up having to pay taxes in the end!
 
Extraterrestrial sweets
For the sad soul
For unforgettable memories
Delicious delight without limits

Ye Sons Of Men, In Earnest

Ye sons of men, in earnest, prepare your hearts within
The wondrous Conqu'ror cometh, whose power can save from sin
Whom God in grace alone, hath promised long to send us
To lighten and befriend us, and make His mercy known
 
Oh set your ways in order when such a guest is nigh
Make plain the paths before Him, that now deserted lie
Forsake what He doth hate, exalt the lowly valleys
Bring down all pride and malice, and make the crooked straight
 
The heart that's meek and lowly is highest with our God
The heart now proud and lofty He humbles with His rod
The heart that's unenticed by sin, and fears to grieve Him
Is ready to receive Him, to such comes Jesus Christ
 
'Twas thus St. John hath taught us, 'twas thus he preach'd of yore
And they will feel God's anger who list not to his lore
Ah God ! now let his voice to Thy true service win us
That Christ may come within us, and we in Him rejoice !
 
Translation by Catherine Winkworth

Seraphim's Regret

I am floating, greets the night wind
Decorating the life, darkened by memories
I am flying
Away, to the black clouds, decorating
The long night
Like a tear, dripping in the soul
Spell out, never returning
Repeating what happened
To You(*), I lean on
To You, I prostrate
To You, I lament
A life, vanished forever

Winter

Where you are, there is music,
Southern harmony.
 
Chorus:
 
And we've rusted in apartments -
That's season.
We all set the drunk table,
Your thermometer is singing as well,
That there is below zero outside,
Yesterday there was an autumn,
Tonight there is already winter.
-------------------------------------------------------
You are snipping sun from paper
Slowly on the balcony.
 
Chorus.

If I Didn't Know You

If I didn't know you, if it wasn't for your love
my heart wouldn't know how beautiful living is.
If I didn't have you, I wouldn't know how, at last,
I've managed to find in you what was missing in me.
 
In a loveless world full of pain,
the truth is so clear in your eyes - don't cry anymore.
And because of you, I feel
that this dream would die forever
if I didn't know you.
 
If I didn't know you, if it wasn't for your love,
my heart wouldn't know how beautiful living is.
And because of you, I feel that in my life no dream
would exist if I didn't have you.
 
I know our love would be so immense.
Together, the world shines brighter.
I never thought hatred would cause so much damage.
We'll only love each other in silence until the end.
 
And my heart tells me it is true.
If I didn't know you, if it wasn't for your love,
(Solitude doesn't exist anymore since you're by my side...)
my heart wouldn't know how beautiful living is.
(Next to you, I'm so happy, only because of you...)
 
I know our love would be so immense.
Together, the world shines brighter.
I know our love would be so immense.
It shines even in the dark.
And my heart tells me it is true.
That it is true.
 
Without your feelings, the dream would die
(Without your feelings...!) inside my heart,
without a reason, forever,
if I didn't know you.

When I Was A Little Girl

When I was a little girl,
Just a newborn,
I could barely open my eyes:
I was already doing to to look at you
Juster after being born!
 
I could barely open my eyes:
I was already doing to to look at you
Juster after being born!

 
Ai-ó-lo la-ri-lo-le-la!
Ai-ó-lo la-ri-lo-ló!
 
[Instrumental]
 
Once I become old
And I've just died,
Look well into my eyes...
Lifeless, they want to see,
Just after I've died.
 
Look well into my eyes...
Lifeless, they want to see,
Just after I've died.

 
Ai-ó-lo la-ri-lo-le-la!
Ai-ó-lo la-ri-lo-ló!
 
[Instrumental]
 
If I died just now
After having given you my word,
Not even the earth would want to take me!
If my love remained here
After having given you my word...
 
Not even the earth would want to take me!
If my love remained here
After having given you my word...

 
Ai-ó-lo la-ri-lo-le-la!
Ai-ó-lo la-ri-lo-ló!

The Shootout

I drank some mates1 as I stood in the kitchen,
I saw how the sun sprung itself on the world.
I looked at the time, it was a quarter 'til seven,
I already felt tired of waiting.
I started putting on my shirt and jeans,
I put the revolver in the shaft of my boot.
I lit a candle at the feet of San Antonio,
The patron saint of outlaws.
 
I flew on my motorcycle to the La Cucaracha bar
Where in silence, the boys were waiting for me.
Fernet with cola2 and whiskey with cigarettes,
Death smelled of tobacco and coffee.
The hit was more or less well planned,
More than two months finishing up the details.
Two of us robbing the cashiers
And me on the street in a rental car.
 
But you already know how these things happen,
There are always details left out of the script,
Some employee who leans on an alarm,
Some trigger that's in a hurry to respond.
The first shot hit me in my left hand,
I took the revolver from my boot and opened fire.
The police demanded that I give up:
'You're surrounded, there is no way to escape'.
 
'It's been ten years,' I replied, 'that I've been surrounded.'
Ten long years that I have not found even one job.
What good is it for me to be alive if I am dead,
I don't even need to wear a mask.
If they heard me, they paid me no mind
In an instant the shooting began.
I ended up flopping3on the sidewalk
After having emptied my magazine.
 
I think about this while I feel that my life
Is going to the side of death,
I have the revolver unloaded, and in my chest,
A very difficult hole to fill.
My face resting on the asphalt,
My hands cold, and even my breath hurts.
I know that it's daytime, but I feel like it's night,
I'll ask San Antonio about that.
 
I don't have anybody and I don't leave many things,
Just a motorcycle at the La Cucaracha bar,
Tell them everything and undo the padlock
She already knows where she's going to wait for me.

Why did you leave?

Versions: #1
Why did you leave (me)? Why am I so restless?
I wish for your embrace,
 
You didn’t say that the moon was beautiful tonight,
You didn’t see that I was impatient of sorrow,
 
Why did you leave? Why am I so restless?
 
Even though I was desirous of you for an entire lifetime,
Even though the hope (of your love) was in my thoughts,
 
Come and give another kind of wine tonight,
Give me a drink from the cup of truth,
 
[Chorus]
 
Make my crazy heart crazier
Make me unaware of both worlds,
 
Come and give another kind of wine tonight,
Give me a drink from the cup of truth,
 
[chorus]

Lost place

Gold covered cupolas
And a young kid, a novice, burns leaves
I will pray for those who wait in shackles,
I will run to my friend for a moment,
I will toss bread to the birds,
I will drink to the place, lost to the people.
 
Chorus:
There by the perimeter lights burn,
And a solitary guitar plays.
Bullfinches will not fly there in the winter,
Crows are there.
There by the perimeter lights burn,
And a solitary guitar plays.
Bullfinches will not fly there in the winter,
Crows are there.
 
The towers are covered in forged iron bars,
Wire coils on the fence.
I will pray for those, for whom prison is home.
The camps’ hope is ablaze,
A couple’s hut for a conjugal date
I will drink for the melancholy and sorrow in them.
 
Chorus:
There by the perimeter lights burn,
And a solitary guitar plays.
Bullfinches will not fly there in the winter,
Crows are there.
There by the perimeter lights burn,
And a solitary guitar plays.
Bullfinches will not fly there in the winter,
Crows are there.
 
Gold covered cupolas
And a young man burns leaves.
I will pray for those who wait in shackles,
I will run to my friend for a moment,
I will toss bread to the birds,
I will drink to the place, lost to the people.
 
Chorus:
There by the perimeter lights burn,
And a solitary guitar plays.
Bullfinches will not fly there in the winter,
Crows are there.
There by the perimeter lights burn,
And a solitary guitar plays.
Bullfinches will not fly there in the winter,
Crows are there.
 
There by the perimeter lights burn,
And a solitary guitar plays.
Bullfinches will not fly there in the winter,
Crows are there.
There by the perimeter lights burn,
And a solitary guitar plays.
Bullfinches will not fly there in the winter,
Crows are there.

The World With A Coffee

I shall try to understand
The world with a coffee,
I'll pretend to read the newspaper
As if nothing had happened...
 
All of a sudden,
In a single instant,
I'll understand it all:
I will see everything clearly!
 
You shall surely find,
All those things I have not given you.
You shall find someone
Who will give you peace of mind...
He will die for you...

 
All of a sudden,
In a single instant,
I'll understand it all:
I will see everything clearly!
 
You shall surely find,
All those things I have not given you.
You shall find someone
Who will give you peace of mind...
He will die for you...

 
He will make you breakfast.
While sleeping, he will hold your hand
And, without you, he won't understand the world
And together, you'll see the end of it all.
 
He will tell you about his past

Everything Is Going Well

Stop it with the sorrows:
Do you want to come here, to play with me?
Can't you see that we're fine?
There isn't anything to cry about.
 
Today, I've also
Felt very lonely,
And I have seen that everything was dark,
Deadened and disastrous...
 
If you laugh, I will laugh
And the both of us will be able to leave behind
Obsessions and nightmares,
Locked within an old drawer.
 
Don't insist on
Doing everything on your own

You Would Have Left Before

Versions: #1
Perfect love doesn't exist
I am beginning to think
This love thing is a fantasy
I still don't believe it
That you no longer remember
Of all the times
That I made you mine
 
And you still demand me
to forget your smile
And erase all your caresses from my mind
You raise me to the sky
And later I fall to the ground
Because you leave
When I loved you the most
 
You would have left
Why didn´t you leave?
When you weren't so indispensable yet?
You ask me to forget you
When you did everything to fall in love with me
You were playing me, tell me
Why the hell did you make me love you?
And later went away?
 
You would have left before
I don't think that I deserve that
You throw my heart in the trash
It sounds so illogical to me
That now you say that it was not your fault
If you weren't interested for what did you kiss me
With such sweetness and with such tenderness
 
You would have left before
And so I wouldn't have
These desires to beg you
 
And you still demand me
to forget your smile
And erase all your caresses from my mind
You raise me to the sky
And later I fall to the ground
Because you leave
When I loved you the most
 
You would have left
Why didn´t you leave?
When you weren't so indispensable yet?
You ask me to forget you
When you did everything to fall in love with me
You were playing me, tell me
Why the hell did you make me love you?
And later went away?
 
You would have left before
I don't think that I deserve that
You throw my heart in the trash
It sounds so illogical to me
That now you say that it was not your fault
If you weren't interested for what did you kiss me
With such sweetness and with such tenderness
 
You would have left before
And so I wouldn't have
These desires to beg you

White day for us too

Versions: #1
I will water with a salty tear of mine
the times, bitter summers,
I learned to pass by your side,
Dead doves
the dawn filled the heavens with.
 
I will be back, my heartbroken Virgin Mary.
Farewell, don't cry, your sorrow
learn not to hang as an amulet.
Say 'It's all right,
there will come a white day for us too'.

Accelerate

Another day, what a drag!
It's so late!
Quick, to do gymnastics
1, 2, 3
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
I don't have enough time
For coffee
I don't know why I'm in a hurry
The thing to do is
 
Chorus: Accelerate
(Accelerate, accelerate, accelerate
Oh, oh, oh, oh)
 
x3
 
I must exit hurriedly
It's already ten
I can't find my shirt
What am I going to do?
 
The minutes go by
1, 2, 3
I don't know why do I hurry
The thing to do is
 
Chorus x4
 
Have I lost my mind?
(Oh, oh, my mind)
Where do I think I'm going?
(Where do I think I'm going?)
Out of breath and constantly watching the clock
 
Accelerate, accelerate
 
There must be a way to arrive
(A way to arrive)
To the same place
(To the same place)
Step by step with more calmness

Desperate (I'm going to drink)

You will ask yourself
Why do I call you if I swore that I would never
look for you again, but I couldn't take it anymore
My heart screams for me to take
this damn cell phone and ask you how you are
 
Imagining who the hell you'll be with
thinking so much makes me want to drink
this bottle gives me strength to forget
I want to look for you
 
That's why I'm going to drink
to get out of my head that I still love you
well, I want to look for you anywhere
I am desperate to have you by my side
 
That's why I'm going to drink
to get out of my head that I still miss you
well, I want to look for you anywhere
I am desperate to have you by my side
 
Cali y El Dandee, yo'
Oh, you are going to kill me
without you I feel empty, I go to the house to look
I need you here with me, let's be friends
we go to the park where we gave each other little kisses
 
Come on, I need you
that I need you, I need you
open the door whenever you want
you know it's raining outside
you know I'm getting wet
 
With tears from the ice chest
and how much I want you to be mine (ah)
but you went first (woh-oh-oh)
that's why I'm going to call, that's why I try again
that's why I cry again
 
That's why I'm going to drink
to get out of my head that I still love you
well, I want to look for you anywhere
I am desperate to have you by my side
 
That's why I'm going to drink (that's why I'm going to drink)
to get out of my head that I still miss you
well, I want to look for you anywhere
I am desperate to have you by my side
 
Greeicy, Greeicy
I want to have a delicious drink that helps me forget
that these are the crazy women who want to taste you
I just can't take it anymore
but I still don't know if I can forgive you
 
Is that I lost confidence in you
I don't know if I can get it back
because I already understood when love is damaged
And why try it?
 
What was damaged, it was damaged, and why try it?
what ended, it's over, and why fix it today?
what happened to us, it hurted me
it hurt me a lot, but today I'm looking for something to forget
 
That's why I'm going to drink
to get out of my head that I still love you
well, I want to look for you anywhere
I am desperate to have you by my side
 
That's why I'm going to drink
to get out of my head that I still miss you
well, I want to look for you anywhere
I am desperate to have you by my side
 
That's why I'm going to drink
