You Got Me Used To

You got me used
To all those things
And you showed me
That they are wonderful
 
Subtly you came to me, like temptation
Filling my heart with restlessness
 
I couldn't imagine what you wanted
In your strange world, and from you I learned
That's why I wonder, seeing that you've forgotten me
Why you didn't show me how to live without you
 
That's why I wonder, seeing that you've forgotten me
Why you didn't show me how to live without you
Why you didn't show me how to live without you
Why you didn't show me how to live without you
 

Västerås

As I, deep in thought, here on the ferry
made my way home on my mind
Now I am leaving Västerås behind
Where pancakes with apple sauce
And Koskenkorva were so good
 
Too drunk to drive home again
But do you remember the summer of ninety-five
When I came home from Västerås
 
It is hardest in the beginning
I made that clear to myself
When the tears in my eyes
Are a sign of love
I already see it, all I want to see
 
Too drunk to drive home again
But do you remember the summer of ninety-five
When I came home from Västerås
 
No but that devil was Åke Örjan
I cannot remember that anymore
I guess Gamla Stygan is still in its place
As it's called little shack
The green villa in summer strand
 

Brazenly

[Intro]
Senya, Senya, Senya Zomb
Yah-oh (yah)
 
[Chorus]
It’s getting hotter, it’s getting hotter
Stole her in front of everybody
Brazenly, in front of everybody
Check this out, what a booty, hey
 
It’s getting hotter, it’s getting hotter
Stole her in front of everybody
Brazenly, in front of everybody
I stole her for good, yeah.
 
[Verse 1, Senya Zomb]
She is the bomb
She’s pretty on the verge of indecency (on the verge of indecency)
No, for real, she’s truly unique
I’m looking for reasons to get to know her personally (a-ha)
Are they filming us? What’s the deal with this operator?
I’m at the bar drinking rum like I’m a pirate
And she will tell me “Get lost”. I’ll tell her about love
Beautifully as if in the songs of Navai (Navai!)
 
[Post-verse]
She wants to shoot a story with me
I want to take of her dress (dress)
Now she wants to go dance
But I think that’s enough (enough)
 
[Chorus]
It’s getting hotter, it’s getting hotter
Stole her in front of everybody
Brazenly, in front of everybody
Check this out, what a booty, hey
 
It’s getting hotter, it’s getting hotter
Stole her in front of everybody
Brazenly, in front of everybody
I stole her for good, yeah.
 
[Verse 2, Senya Zomb]
Sambuca is on fire,
We already are in love with each other
What’s with your best friend?
Sorry, I didn’t ask before
You, baby – are unforgettable
Even if you’re not the one.
Stop pretending to be innocent
Hop on in the taxi with me
 
[Post-verse]
She wants to shoot a story with me
I want to take of her dress (dress)
Now she wants to go dance
But I think that’s enough (enough)
 
[Chorus]
It’s getting hotter, it’s getting hotter
Stole her in front of everybody
Brazenly, in front of everybody
Check this out, what a booty, hey
 
It’s getting hotter, it’s getting hotter
Stole her in front of everybody
Brazenly, in front of everybody
I stole her for good, yeah
 

Corona 22: Obfuscation

If a part of the Humanity

in Reasons of belief

If a part of the Humanity

Speechlessness prevails and the
Freedom drops
 
You just can't prove it 1
That its than normal
So you shift your Apocalypse
Till it's coming
As ordered
 
And your from the past

And the from the past
Turns today to a

• 1. Current Number of victims Germany: 7275

Time has gone by

Alone me and myself
I poured a drink to have
I want to see you in my dream
for a minute.
 
I shut the door so I can write
It's difficult
So I can concentrate I feel like going out to look for you,
but yet I'm staying here.
 
Time has gone by and you don't remember me
Wherever you find yourself,
wherever you might be sleeping,
let me live with the memories.
 
Nothing matters
Just like that, this happened to us
But to me it only matters, you speaking to me.
 
It's two o'clock I cannot contain myself
I looked for you in the usual places where we used to hang out,
It's OK if I suffer, as long as you're fine.
 
Time has gone by and you don't remember me
Wherever you find yourself,
wherever you might be sleeping,
let me live with the memories.
 

Another Autumn

Rain - the summer is over
Rain - outside and inside1
Rain that washes everything away
And the sky will be high
And people become so small
And bare trees turn grey
And we - we can only watch
Wind - wind over the open country
Wind - like currents in the cold water
Wind that blows everything away
Wind that heralds the great migration
And we - we must see another autumn
And we - we must see that time passes
And we - we must see that the farmer sows
And we - we must make sure that we understand
Rain - clouds resembling men
Until they die down again
A puddle reflects the flight of the sky
And reminds us of something beautiful
And we - we must see another autumn
And we - we must see that time passes
And we - we must see that the farmer sows

RV 644, II, 2. Aria: Ye stars, constellations.

Ye stars, constellations,
at the waning of the moon
be funeral torches
to our enemy.
In this blessed night
let the godless enemy be destroyed,
and may they be dead
when the sun rise.
 

Who Am I

(They) are convinced that
they captured me
The person they captured instead of me
is now my chance
 
Why should I save him?
Why should I turn myself in?
I've come so far
over this long time by the skin of my teeth
 
If I speak, I am the criminal
If (I) keep my mouth closed, I am a sinner
 
I have many workers to feed
(They) all look to me
Can I abandon (them)?
If I am captured, how will (they) live?
 
If (I) confess, they will die
If (I) keep my mouth closed, I am a sinner
 
Who am I?
 
(If) I pass my crime onto another and
turn a blind eye to the pain
(I'd be) sending a man to prison
for the crime of looking like me
Who am I?
 
How long can I hide?
As I was hiding in the past
He was given my name
Shall I live a life of lie(s)?
 
How (can I)
be believed and another be deceived
I am even deceiving myself
I gave my soul to the Lord
willingly a long time ago
 
(He) gave me hope in my darkness and
a opened a new road (for me)
Who am I?
Who am I?
I'm Jean Valjean
 
Look, Javert, this is the truth
That man (will) no longer bare this crime
 
I am

She Will Laugh

Because you, I know, are better than me,
because you will give her everything you have,
because as long as you live you will love only her,
I will not do anything to bring her back to me.
 
She will laugh, she will laugh, she will laugh,
you make her laugh because
she will laugh, she will laugh, she will laugh,
she cried too much with me.
 
Even if I will suffer more than I know,
even if I already know that I will regret it,
even if she would leave you for me,
I will not do anything to bring her back to me.
 
She will laugh, she will laugh, she will laugh,
you make her laugh because
she will laugh, she will laugh, she will laugh,
she cried too much with me.
 
(She will laugh, she will laugh, she will laugh.)
 
~~~~~
 
(She will laugh, she will laugh, she will laugh.)
 
~~~~~
 
But if you love her a bit less than me,
but if you change and become another man,
but if you spoil what I did for her,
I swear I will return and take her back.
 
She will laugh, she will laugh, she will laugh,
you make her laugh because
she will laugh, she will laugh, she will laugh,
she cried too much with me.
 

To Home (Bring Him Home)

Listen, my Lord
I hope you listen to my prayer
(He) is young and afraid
A weary youth
 
To home
To home
To home
 
If you gave me a son
Here, a young son
The summer passes and time
flows like an arrow
I am also getting old and (will) disappear
 
With peace, with joy
(He) will live, (he) is still a young boy
(You) gave and took (him) away
Let him go
 
I (will) die
Kill me
(Bring) the boy home
to home
to home
 

You would have left sooner

There is no perfect love
I'm starting to think that
This love thing is a fantasy
I still don't believe it
That you don't remember
Of all times
That I made you mine
And you still demand me
Forget your smile
And erase all your caresses from my mind
You're bringing me up to the sky
And then I fall down
Because you leave when I loved you most
You'd have left sooner
Why didn't you leave
When you weren't that indispensable yet?
You're asking me to forget you
When you did everything to fall in love
You were playing me
Why the hell did you force me to love you?
And then you walked away?
You'd have left sooner
I don't think I deserve that
My heart throws away
Sounds so illogical to me
Now you say it wasn't your fault
If you didn't care about me, you kissed me
With so sweet and so tender
You'd have left sooner
And so I wouldn't have
I'm looking forward to begging you
And you still demand me.
Forget your smile
And erase all your caresses from my mind
You're bringing me up to the sky
And then I fall down
Because you're leaving
When I loved you the most
You'd have left sooner
Why didn't you leave
When you weren't that indispensable yet?
You're asking me to forget you
When you did everything to fall in love
You were playing me
Why the hell did you force me to love you?
And then you walked away?
You'd have left sooner
I don't think I deserve that.
My heart throws away
Sounds so illogical to me
Now you say it wasn't your fault
If you didn't care about me, you kissed me
With so sweet and so tender
You'd have left sooner
And so I wouldn't have
I'm looking forward to begging you
 

White Day

Versions: #1
If you'll come along
For whatever comes
With me
I promise you the sun
If the sun is out today
Or the rain
If the rain pours
If you'll come along
Until where we could go
A square by the sea
Some piece of anywhere
On this white day
If white it is
This much
This singing of love
Oh!
If you'll want and you'll come
For whatever comes
With me
I promise you the sun
If the sun is out today
Or the rain
If the rain pours
If you'll come along
Until where we could go
A square
Just by the sea
At some piece of anywhere
And on this white day
If white it is
This singing
This so great love
Great love
If you'll want and you'll come
For whatever comes
With me
With me, with me
 

I’ll Miss You

I’ll miss you if you leave
I’ll miss your serenity
Your words like songs in the wind
And the love that you take away
 
I’ll miss you if you leave
Now and forever i don’t know how to live
And the joy,my love
Goes away with you
 
I’ll miss you i’ll miss you
Why do you go away?
Because the love inside of you is dead?
Why,why?
Nothing’ll change i know that
Inside of me i feel you
 
I’ll miss you i’ll miss you
Why do you go away?
Because the love imside of you is dead?
Why,why?
Nothing’ll change i know that
Inside of me i feel you
 
I’ll miss,the immensity
of our days and nights together
your smiles,when it was dark
your being naive,like a small girl
 
I’ll miss you,my love
i look and find emptiness inside of me
 
And the joy,my love
goes away with you...
 

I'm Losing You

I'm losing you in this bleak crowd,
I'm losing you by grains and by cells 1
With each moment that's flown by in the heavens,
Warmth gives way to spiderwebs and nets
 
I'm losing you and won't find you again,
I'm losing you gradually with each line
In a simple way like Cinderella just before midnight,
And in a complicated way like a piano tuner
 
I'm losing you, like a sound, like a taste,
I'm forgetting to write down, it's late - and forgotten!
I'm losing, Kazakh, I'm losing, Tungus,
I'm losing, alzheimer - I'm murdered, murdered!
 
My memory's gone and also are you,
Die, die and don't ask for handouts!
I'm losing people, I'm losing friends,
I'm losing heirs, losing my name!..

We're A Mistake

Don't think that everything's over.
It's so easy to say it and run off.
Sometimes pain is such a thing that
It is so hard to take it.
 
Memories keep hitting
my shores with every opportunity they get
Memories stay stay and remain
But what is more is revenge.
 
Even if one day passes easily, the other day lingers
Even if I forgave you, love won't forgive you.
Oh oh it is lies again.
It'd only mean one thing: We burned in vain
 
Even if one day passes easily, the other day lingers
Even if I forgave you, love won't forgive you.
Oh oh it is lies again.
So I told myself we are a big mistake.
 
I said it doesn't matter anymore, it's over
But I'm lying.
Me being separated from you only
causes me to cry and cry.
 
Memories keep hitting
my shores with every opportunity they get
Memories stay stay and remain
But what is more is revenge.
 
Even if one day passes easily, the other day lingers
Even if I forgave you, love won't forgive you.
Oh oh it is lies again.
It'd only mean one thing: We burned in vain
 
Even if one day passes easily, the other day lingers
Even if I forgave you, love won't forgive you.
Oh oh it is lies again.
So I told myself we are a big mistake.
 

AFK

[Intro: Boulevard Depo]
Hm-m-m, wassup
Ye-ya
It's GERA PKHAT and Boulevard Depo
Ya-ya-ho
 
[Verse 1: Boulevard Depo]
DVD copy of 'Zhmurki' in my backpack, I'm AFK skinny asses
With a (???) on my apartment, it's impossible to get close to me
I look like a phantom dribbler, a square of a kitcken like in the TV show 'Tanci'
I made a move, like a car, but I'm still lazy to try
I have a full ammunition box on me, we don't give a fuck who you are
GERA PKHAT's coming to rush, there's a whole truck full of infantry
While AFK, While AFK, but not for long
I'll fly into your babe, I'll pull out my clip in her face, lamer (ya-ya-ya)
Lamer, you may sleep tight now
I'm shooting up the cities, and we're not taking over the homes
I don't sleep, and you're a fool, I'm dangerous even when I'm dead
Behind the shooter, yeah, we need to cover each other
If my homie's AFK, AFK, AFK, AFK, AFK, AFK
If my homie's AFK, AFK, AFK, AFK, AFK, AFK
 
[Verse 2: Yanix]
You thought I'm AFK, but I lifted them to 'ha-ha' (ha-ha)
Face barking to an elephant, but my mouse is an owl (oh-ye)
One click, and your time has come — the bell's already ringing
On your moustache of hope a beard fit instantly
My chain is armor, my salary — level up (up)
Players: PowerPuff, YANIX, GERA PKHAT (ya)
I'm your daddy, fucking hell, and my skill's my experience
You'll understand what I mean in the next year — it's lag
Just look at my stats
I'm wearing vintage Gucci, like it's a fucking artifact
Never gave it a whole hour, and it can't wait much longer
My cat catching my mouse, fuck off, not now (combo)
 
[Verse 3: GERA PKHAT]
Sorry, I lived here, since you were rapping (you were rapping)
Real thrill, real while AFK (while AFK)
My team's blowing heads off hackers, uh-huh (uh-huh)
And every rat turned into cats in a muzzle like in Postal 2
And I'm here, let's get it, who let the noobs to the map?
Buying all these goons, all for a little price
No one would believe it, we'll blow their base in under a minute
Kicking down the doors with Depo, lying down we realized, who we are and where are we from
I'm a real MVP
Streets know PKHAT, I'm from Ufa
Collecting mana while AFK I'm an OG
I take everything I want, son, I have a genius
If my homie's AFK
I take more ammo for soldiers for the whole squad
And we're all riding on a tank, but this ain't no parade
Taking out everyone for real, pretending that we're playing
While AFK
My frags are all on the map, I dance like a retard
While AFK
If Depo's AFK, AFK
If PKHAT
If PKHAT'S AFK
 
[Outro: Yanix]
Trap houses rock the PKHAT's track
 

Flashback

Flashback (flashback)
You can't press 'undo'
Nor go back to simplicity
That takes away my sadness
There's no one like you
Sharing songs with me
But they're more mistakes
Rather than illusions
 
Ah ah
How do I get out
Ah ah
Yes, I love this loop
Ah ah
I live in the past and it's not right
It's good and it's not right
 
Flashback
Those times in which nothing worried me
My desire, your dream and the dawn
Became deserted in an instant
What comes and goes, what comes and goes
 
Flash
Flashback

And after so long
It's impossible to find
That glow from the beginning
But let's talk about the present
Perhaps it already doesn't glow the same
But it always remains
Remains
 
Ah ah
Stay
Ah ah
Even though I'm still in this loop
Ah ah
I live in the past and it's not right
It's good and it's not right
Flashback
Those times in which nothing worried me
My desire, your dream and the dawn
Became deserted in an instant
What comes and goes, what comes and goes

Shack

I live in a shack
There, in the morro da alegria 1
And when it rains, it changes its place
It's all made from wood and zinc
There's only clarity in moonlit nights
There's a tunnel in which I make tanks and latches
Water comes when São Pedro decides to send it
But anyways, I'm very happy and I'll go singing
Because I live in the slum I found
An open sky to live.
Because for me
My shack is a beauty
If sadness comes
I'll sing a samba and it'll go away
My shack doesn't know
What's sadness
There isn't a bed, nor a table
But there's leftover peace.
I had a bungalow when I lived in the city,
Had stuff, but a lot of stuff
With the utmost ease
But I never was happy,
Because I was missing love
Now I have it in my shack
All of the happiness
That was missing in the bungalow

We're the stars

I am right here even though it's a maze of darkness
Let's call out to each other and keep moving forward
 
It is a road where no signs can be seen
However I have companions with me
 
Your eyes shine brighter than even light
 
We're the stars, each of us holding onto a star,
We keep walking
When we hold each other's hands, we will form a constellation
We can keep shining till the end of time
I believe
 
I will be beside you when you feel like crying
Until all your tears disappear
 
When you look down you will see a small world
However, raise your head
 
If you look up it will all look eternal
The sky is vast for you
 
We're the stars, in your heart there is a single drop of hope which is shining
Let's gently connect it so that it may look like a constellation
We will stay friends for eternity
I believe
 
We are living at the same place at the same time
You are the friend that I got to meet among countless people
 
We're the stars, each of us holding onto a star,
We keep walking
When we hold each other's hands, we will form a constellation
We can keep shining till the end of time

The Last Patrol of U-210

A submarine travels towards the North Pole.
The chin of the Captain with ice is adorned.
And suddenly comes a peculiar thought:
“This tower needs badly a hearth for the warmth!”
 
But waters rushed in, replacing the smoke,
Preventing the vessel to sail its north course.
The corpses inside looked all peaceful and pale,
In reaching the North Pole their vessel did fail.
 
Deep under the ice, so frigid and rigid,
All seamen had found the end of their mission.
With fortune and fame they’ll never be gifted,
They’re standing together in their last vigil.
 
The Kingdom of Whiteness had asked for high price:
The dreams of this voyage have melted like ice.
Today many vessels are passing this sight,
And stories are told when aurora is bright.
 
The Inuit elder doesn’t hunt anymore,
He’s making a fortune from telling old lore:
That deep down below the old vessel still lays,
And young boys’ laments could be heard on dark days.
 
The world knows such stories without an end,
But nothing of this we can comprehend.
'Let’s sail to the North, towards the land’s end.
The South is hackneyed”, - we jolly pretend!
 

The White Lotus

A lotus flower
Sitting in the middle of the pond
Blooming as white as snow
Without any imperfection
As I want to reach
For this beautiful lotus flower
I could not achieve it with my own strength
My heart is disappointed
 
(music)
 
This glowing flower
Lighting up inside my heart
My heart then lulled to sleep
Oh I love! Oh I love!
Do not let these flowers wither
It must be kept blooming and glowing
 
(music)
 
Dear, oh dear
The bird came to trample it
Each strand wilted, each strand fell
The lotus withered away
Oh no, my flower!
The compassionate heart, now frozen and shattered
The glowing white lotus
Is now destroyed and withered
 

White Tree

Under a white tree with trembling leaves
a sad lover’s blue eyes were lost
He sings a song while shedding tears from his heart
A song that I will remember for the rest of my life
 
Where can I escape from the weight of that time
From the memories and absence of my darling friend
darling… darling…
 
Sitting on the floor with his head on his knees
His cheeks are red and teary and his heart is broken
With the flower pattern rugs and the hanging plants
his image has become one with that little room
 
He forgave me and left, but with him his laughter left
A part of me also left with his belongings
left with him… left with him…
 
He’s gone quietly and there’s no sign left
except a drawing in an unread book
In my mind though from the moment he left
the image of him smiling has remained as a souvenir
 
Hey dandelion! If you see two heavenly eyes
will you deliver my greeting to my beautiful friend?
deliver… deliver...
 
Hey dandelion! If you see two heavenly eyes
will you deliver my greeting to my beautiful friend?
deliver… deliver...
 

Corona 13: The End of the World

Corona hit us hard,
Only a few people are still alive,
But there's no reason for them to be hopeful,
The next calamity is looming.
 
An asteroid is coming to Earth!
On the 29th of April
Perhaps it will hit us
There'll be a big bang, and then silence.
 
We won't even be able to have lunch,
because it's going to arrive before noon.
So instead, should we ask
what's left to be done?
 
A face-covering would surely be useful,
as the impact will raise dust.
The masks will protect us from that,
but the noise will surely make us deaf.
 
So put cotton wool in your ears,
and your briefcase on your head,
since without that you'll be lost.
Or would a saucepan be better?
 
We'll do it together,
The authorities are already aware.
Death will not grab us.
We'll do it, we're ready.
 
In case we don't see each other again,
I greet you one all last time.
I'm going to a brighter world,
This one here was pure agony.
 

Corona 12: The Great Mistake

I must confess, much as it pains me,
I almost emigrated.
I read New Zealand's death figures
My God - how I was wrong.
 
At first, I was white with shock
and then I was red with shame
A whole land full of corpses.
19 people are dead there!
 
How I underestimated
The dreadful pestilence
I wrote poems, frantically
Despite the clarity of the facts.
 
But now everything is so much clearer
And now I must beg forgiveness
Now it's so much more obvious to me
I hope you will forgive me
 
Tomorrow, I'll go - you can imagine
obediently with my mask, to go shopping
I'll make my way through a crowd of corpses.
Whoever is willing to see, they will see them too.
 

Corona 16: The Solution?

Mankind daily multiplies, you know,
them flying to and fleeing fro,
It's utter chaos, beyond compare,
How to reach out for the dream of freedom we all share?
And if we want to stay on this planet any longer,
We have to save our Resources much stronger.
Economic crisis, there will be more and more,
A fast solution seems to be the ony the score.
 
Freedom was my finest dream,
but in this darkness - can you still see it gleam?
To face this problem here, to ring the bells,
I focus on my body-cells.
Amany Trillions there are, they say,
And not one lives for itself, okay?
They cannot vote at an election,
but they are cells, so no objection.
 
The brain, dictator, defines the law,
else humans suffer, so I saw.
But brains get confused, quite a few,
which makes the cells run out of queue.
The drunkyard in drinking up his liver,
Even if it hurts like hell, he calls it a shiver,
Greed, anger, lust, and fear - to torture us - their mission!
Obesity, war, strokes, AIDS are their admonition.
 
The cells, who once lived so carefree,
drop dead like flies now, you can see.
I wonder if all the little, tiny cells
do wonder sometimes by themselves,
if all they've done was good at last -
making our freedom so enourmous and vast.
So, to diminish us as 'solely cell'
implies that every freedom goes to hell.
 

Evenings

Versions: #1
I remember those evenings
We lived in Khrushchev together
You're tired of my words
My life is now nothing for me
 
All the electricity was off
Everyone forgot about me and you
I light all the last candles
Just like that, all our love's faded away
 
In Khrushchev, we were together and we've had coffee closely
And all I see is moth and cigarette smoke
Tarnished flowers that smells like you
You left them to me, you left them to me,
 
I remember those evenings
We lived in Khrushchev together
You're tired of my words
My life is now nothing for me
 
All the electricity was off
Everyone forgot about me and you
I light all the last candles
Just like that, all our love's faded away
 

It Wasn't An Island

Like a wounded dragon,
Like small islet
Dancing on the sea...
She is a gorgon:
Alexander The Great's sister,
Who grieves with a scream
That moves storms!
 
She floods lands with delirium!
She floods lands with delirium!
She floods lands with delirium!
 
She floods lands with delirium
And it doesn't stop until all of them are free!
She floods lands with delirium
Near Crete...
 
She floods lands with delirium!
She floods lands with delirium!
She floods lands with delirium...!
 

Verona

[ THE PRINCE ]
Perhaps you think you've seen it all
And count all knowledge your own
Are you tired from traveling far and wide?
Welcome to our city!
 
Perhaps you seek adventure
And love wicked scenes
Maybe you're not quite satisfied with life?
Welcome to our city!
 
Here it's just like anywhere else
Nothing stays secret, no one incognito
Perhaps mere coincidence brought you here?
Enjoy the night with us!
 
[ ALL ]
Long live Verona! Beautiful Verona!
Where everyone hates with passion
And love never quite fits in
Here only two make the laws
The Montagues and Capulets!
No one needs to take a side
That was done for us long ago!
 
Long live Verona! Beautiful Verona!
The poison of hate flows through these streets
Through our lives, through our veins!
Our gardens bloom every spring
And we're not short of pretty faces
We live in a paradise on earth
But our souls are chained below!
 
[ THE PRINCE ]
Long live Verona!
 
Do you sleep soundly in your bed?
Trusting that you are loved?
This sort of peace doesn't exist here
Welcome to our city!
 
But God also has power over us
We do die, but we die old
Here everyone wears the prince's crown
Welcome to our city!
 
Here it's just like anywhere else
Nothing stays secret, no one incognito
Perhaps mere coincidence brought you here?
Enjoy the night with us!
 
[ ALL ]
Long live Verona! Beautiful Verona!
 
[ MEN (staggered) ]
Long live Verona! Beautiful Verona!
 
[ ALL ]
Where everyone hates with passion
And love never quite fits in
Here only two make the laws
The Montagues and Capulets!
No one needs to take a side
That was done for us long ago!
 
Long live Verona! Beautiful Verona!
The poison of hate flows through these streets
Through our lives, through our veins!
Our gardens bloom every spring
And we're not short of pretty faces
We live in a paradise on earth
But our souls are chained below!
 
[ Refrain and dialogue together ]
 
[ THE PRINCE ]
Benvolio and Mercutio, two friends who love their weapons.
 
[ BENVOLIO, MERCUTIO ]
Even the prince's words can't keep us from a fight!
 
[ THE PRINCE ]
And this is Tybalt, their sworn enemy, the leader of this slaughter!
 
[ TYBALT ]
Laws mean nothing to me! I live and die by the sword.
 
[ THE PRINCE ]
City of insanity! Everyone fights everyone else. War dominates everyday life!
 
[ ALL ]
Long live Verona! Beautiful Verona!
The poison of hate flows through these streets
Through our lives, through our veins!
Our gardens bloom every spring
And we're not short of pretty faces
We live in a paradise on earth
But our souls are chained below!
 
[ THE PRINCE ]
Verona! Verona!
Long live Verona!
 

One Day

[ ROMEO ]
In 20 years of life
I've often been an object of desire
I've learned quite a lot
About meaningful things
But though I've been sought after
I've never truly loved
Yes, I've stayed untouched
In this game of desire
In this game of lust
It's only about seduction
But I want true love!
 
[ JULIET ]
What can one know of the world
Who's not even 16 years old?
I hope love will make the future bright!
I've yet to experience life
And I know so little of many things
The vision before me
Is a grand dream of falling in love
A dream of being together
Only my wish can guide me
I want to feel love!
 
[ ROMEO ]
One day I'll find her
Discover true happiness!
 
[ JULIET ]
One day desire will fade
If we find each other!
One day...
 
[ BOTH ]
One day our loneliness will end
Together for eternity
One day we'll love each other deeply
Invincible for eternity!
 
One day love will guide us beyond time
Every day we will swear our love anew
Love gives us wings, love lets us conquer
One day
 
One day love will guide us beyond time
Every day we will swear our love anew
Love gives us wings, love lets us conquer
One day
 
[ ROMEO ]
One day
 
[ JULIET ]
One day
 

Hate

[ LADY CAPULET ]
God help us all
Tyranny divides us
God, ice runs in our veins
Hate's poison drives us soon
To violence
The hate, the hate
Slithers in like a snake
The hate, the hate
Has long festered within our hearts
The hate, the hate
Is the poison in our veins
The hate, the hate
It burns within like an eternal flame
Oh, how I hate this hatred!
 
[ LADY MONTAGUE ]
I agree with you
We are compelled to hate!
No olive branch can save us
But only cause more death!
The hate, the hate
It robs us all of reason
The hate, the hate
Tears every peace offering
apart
 
[ LADY CAPULET ]
The hate, the hate
Why does it hold us in its spell?
The hate, the hate
It is the mightiest power!
 
[ ENSEMBLE ]
The hate, the hate
 
[LADY MONTAGUE]
For every night I've lain awake
You've felt my wrath
From far and wide
Those who you curse
Seek only hatred
You're just as lost
As everyone here!
 
[ LADY CAPULET ]
Look at yourselves!
What madness is this?
This game of death will take more and more
The wheel of horror
Spins mercilessly
And you'll be caught in its tread
It makes no sense!
 
[ BOTH ]
What drives you, what oath
To commit these atrocities, to commit violence?
Finally open your ears to us women
Trust in our feelings!
 
[ ALLE ]
The hate!
 

Rulers of the World

[ ROMEO ]
High up above
The rulers of the world!
They live lives
Only rulers enjoy
Up on their hill, they can see far and wide
But, apparently,
 
[ ROMEO & BENVOLIO ]
They can't see us!
 
[ BENVOLIO ]
The rulers of the world are never alone
But they live lonely lives bathed in golden light!
Up in their castles, there's not a laugh to be heard
Not like down here, where we dance the night away!
 
[ ALLE ]
To make love
To do as you please
Day and night
To the fullest
What can life bring us
If the rulers control us?
To recognize their authority
Is nothing but a waste of time
If there's one thing everyone here knows
The true heroes
Are us!
 
[ MERCUTIO ]
The rulers of the world are always looking over their shoulders
Because their power is borrowed!
Sooner or later they fall into their own trap
Even love itself balks at entering their walls!
 
[ ROMEO & BENVOLIO & MERCUTIO ]
The rulers of the world love to squabble with each other
But only one can sit on the throne
The battles they fight mean nothing to us
The games that they play aren't our responsibility!
 
[ ALLE ]
To make love
To do as you please
Day and night
To the fullest
What can life bring us
If the rulers control us?
To recognize their authority
Is nothing but a waste of time
If there's one thing everyone here knows
The true heroes
Are us!
 
[ ROMEO ]
The time is near!
We're ready!
 
[ ALLE ] (3x)
To make love
To do as you please
Day and night
To the fullest
What can life bring us
If the rulers control us?
To recognize their authority
Is nothing but a waste of time
If there's one thing everyone here knows
The true heroes
Are us!
 
[ ROMEO (together with the Ensemble) ]
The time is near!
We're ready!
 
[ BENVOLIO (together with the Ensemble) ]
The time is near!
We're ready!
 
[ ROMEO & BENVOLIO (together with the Ensemble) ]
To the fullest, day and night!
 
[ ROMEO (together with the Ensemble) ]
Day and night!
 
[ BENVOLIO (together with the Ensemble) ]
We bow to no one
 
[ BENVOLIO & MERCUTIO (together with the Ensemble) ]
We'll never recognize their authority
 

The Bridge's Railings

The bridge's railings
Swing from side to side when I walk by.
It's only you that I love:
I ignore all the others.
 
Oh, listless one! Out of mercy!
Tell me that you love me,
Do not make me grieve!
 
Oh, listless one! Out of mercy!
Come on, now!
Tell me that you love me,
Do not make me grieve...
 
The bridge's railings
Swing from side to side when I walk by...
 
Oh, listless one! Out of mercy!
Tell me that you love me,
Do not make me grieve!
 
Oh, listless one! Out of mercy!
Come on, now!
Tell me that you love me,
Do not make me grieve...
