Zero Tolerance

My eyes itch, my nose is running
And my throat feels like after a night out in outer space
As if the oxygen in the air wishes me harm
Yes it's perfectly clear, though it's invisible, more than a little confused
Can it be something I brushed against?
Can it be someone I stood next to?
Can it be a year at high volume
Could it be some kind of strange insect?
The doctor gave me no explanation, just some sort of medicine
He said 'My friend I have no idea, you seen to have an allergy'
Is it to disasters or is it against shame and statistics?
Is it to kittens or full moons, to general hysteria
Is it to pessimism or urinals, or stereotypes or liberals
Or genetically modified tomatoes to big cities with too narrow streets
If I give up lactose, or go to bed around eleven
If I always hold the door for those who can't themselves
Or promise to never go on stage at a Melody Festival
He said you'll definitely be better but you'll never be well
 
The symptoms stand in neat rows
The medicine just makes me weak
One more thing we can't deal with
There's so much we can't tolerate, the smallest thing becomes a disaster
Now I'm standing here with shaking hand
Looking for answers as if they existed somewhere
Was it then that the sickness saw its chance
Or is it just because I lack tolerance
How much do we manage? Everything
How much do we tolerate? Zero
How much do we manage? Everything
How much do we tolerate? Zero
How much do we manage? Everything
How much do we tolerate? Zero
We tolerate zero. We tolerate zero.
 
Doctor we live in the world's cleanest country
Still I'm so intolerant I even get sick from dust
And I was born in a city with such sensible volume
That even music from a passing car made me take a load of Bricanyl
What if it's you I can't tolerate?
It's a damned shame the problem's with me.
What if our sky was completely blue
Instead it's the colour of an electrical cabinet
That lady the other day begging for money on the tube
And those saucer-sized rashes I got on my skin in minutes
Could it be home style blogs?
Could it be too much fast food?
Scandal headlines, parlimentary politics, threat from the climate?
I don't know how it can be remedied
Yeah the intolerance in Europe
But a life is wasted fast, thank heaven for my health-care card
How the hell can I keep up my defences when I can't even keep my word?
So please doctor, is there anything stronger you can give?
Cause right now it feels like I'm looking but I can never see.

And we're climbing the walls, and we don't tolerate graffiti on the walls
The judge said keep them on the benches, instead we're fighting in the stands.
Stuck in too-small shoes and they're getting tight.
What if we were sued by pre-judgements?
How can I be healthy if the doctor needs more money?
And we just clash, like purple and red
And the world is crashing, like something inside it is dead
So give me strength to tolerate, doctor, give me strength to tolerate *1
I said give me strength to tolerate, doctor, give me strength to tolerate
 

Api Neraka (Hellfire)

[Priests:]
I confess to almighty God.
To Blessed Mary ever-virgin.
To Blessed Michael the Archangel.
To the holy apostles, to all the saints.
 
[Frollo:]
Blessed Maria, you know I am righteous
I am proud of my wisdom
 
[Priests:]
And you, Father...
 
[Frollo:]
Blessed Maria, you know I am true
The people are immoral!
 
[Priests:]
That I have greatly sinned!
 
[Frollo:]
Tell me, Maria,
Why I see her eyes scorching the soul!
 
[Priests:]
In thought...
 
[Frollo:]
I think I see the sun in her hair, blazing and uncontrollable!
 
[Priests:]
Word and deed!
 
[Frollo:]
Like hellfire!
Burning my skin
Desire festers,
Falling in sin...
 
It's not my fault! Do not blame me!
The Gypsy girl made this fire!
It's not my fault! It's God's plan!
He made the Devil stronger than man!
 
Help me, Maria,
From the woman's spell
Don't let the fire scorch me!
Destroy Esmeralda!
Let her taste the fires of hell
Or make her mine!
 
[Guard:]
Minister Frollo, the Gypsy girl has escaped.
 
[Frollo:]
What?
 
[Guard:]
She isn't in the Cathedral. She is lost.
 
[Frollo]
How could it be? Oh, nevermind. Get out of here, you idiot! I'll find her even if I have to burn down all of Paris!
 
Hellfire, darkness
Now, Gypsy, it's your turn!
Choose me, or burn
Belong to me or burn!
 
[Priests:]
Lord, have mercy...
 
[Frollo:]
Have mercy on her,
Have mercy on me,
She is mine, or I burn!*

Chorus:
If I was your wife, 'til now, you would've been like tranquil water
You would've been wrapped around my pinky finger if I was your wife
You should've died - burnt down, after a thousand nights combined in one
You should've known - even if you're the king,
when I'm around, I'm in charge
 
Don't even try to look, I'm not on the menu
I've already heard enough of you
I'm giving you 5 mins to impress me,
otherwise, someone else will have me.

Chimera

I'm out looking for you, chimera
paper butterfly
I'll keep looking for you for the rest of my life
I'm a dream catcher
I'm a dawn taster
All I have is my will and this flying pen
Life goes around singing clouds
looking for the sky to rhyme
leaving a blank paper
scars printed by time

Gaflet-English Translation

Two eyes are not enough
The indelible writing fall of this forehead is ready to vent the abyss
I haven't got wings, I'm running out of hope
Death has come after me am I happy now?
Don't ask me why you don't know the stab wounds on my back.
Let alone the world and never return.
 
Don't let these eyes see you again.
I don't love again, love is lie
World Dream Wake Up
From this heedlessness.
 
Dark isn't enough to conceal, is it enough to lie to hide the truth?
I woke up I woke up again I have neither the strength to walk nor laugh
Don't ask me, who hurts me you don't know.
Fate won't laugh at me.
 
Love is lie
No unquenchable fire, love is lie
Love is lie, lovers are lie
World Dream Wake Up.
 

Movement

A never-ending dream:
I’m lying in a sea of stars every day.
And night, like a wave
Is rushing over the earth.
 
Don’t worry about what will happen tomorrow,
I’ll help with the light of my soul.
When meeting a real reverie,
You’re not alone.
 
　 Every sound will fill your heart with my warmth.
　 You’ll feel it moving again and again,
　 I’m giving you my love.
　 Raise your hands up to the sky
　 And confidently look through it,
　 Fly.
 
Find me,
As something you were looking for in every dream,
And, like an echo,
Feel what I’m keeping silence about.
 
　 Every sound will fill your heart with my warmth.
　 You’ll feel it moving again and again,
　 I’m giving you my love.
　 Raise your hands up to the sky
　 And confidently look through it,
　 Fly.
 
　 Fly, fly...
　 Fly, fly...
 
　 Raise your hands up to the sky
　 And confidently look through it,
　 Fly.
 

Karma Butterfly

It's fascination, did you notice?
Ever since then
My true self has always been
Pushed inside this cage
 
To the girl reflected off this mirror
I ask softly, who is this girl?
Acting out someone else's role
I don't want to do it anymore
 
Release this feeling
Spread open those wings and set me free
Get away from fate
I'm a Karma Butterfly
This pulse won't stop beating
Until this battle life ends
Release this feeling
 
A sheer feather clothed like
A celestial maiden
Tinged from poison coming from my wings
The fragrance incense
 
I'm born again, make a move
As I please
I've never liked to show anything to anyone
I want to show my face
 
Release this feeling
Spread those wings and let me free
I'm a Karma Butterfly
I won't go back, slipping through
It's just a fabricated battle of my life
Now it's time to show my true self
I'm a Karma Butterfly
 
The horns are still stuck
Even if I continue to fly
It doesn't matter, since i'll keep carrying those horns
Only heaven, knows
Only heaven, knows, knows, knows
 
Release this feeling
Spread those wings and set me free
I'm a Karma Butterfly
This pulse won't stop beating
Until the battle life ends
To the love I don't see
Fly Karma Butterfly
 

My Oh My

Stay up all night
I was waiting without sleeping, good grief
It doesn’t mean a thing
Guys who don’t come back should be kicked out
Hey, a honky- tonk kind of love is a waste of time
Right, “I love you” has no meaning if it’s not honest talk
So blow him away
 
My oh My oh My oh My
Trouble is promised with you
Liar liar liar liar
You already have no house
 
My oh My oh My oh My
My oh My oh My oh My
 
Dancing in the rain
Ragtime piano with the rain
Ain’t gonna fool me twice
(Ain’t gonna fool me twice)
You’re acting like an entertainer
 
You’re not on the same level as the PrimaDonna
Confess one more time if you wanna start over again
Make a fresh start
 
My oh My oh My oh My
You love trouble a lot
Liar liar liar liar
There’s no place for you to come back
 
My oh My oh My oh My
My oh My oh My oh My
 
(Oh) Oh Father Father
(Oh) Hey, God
(Oh) What should I do?
I loved him (Oh)
But I won’t forgive him
 
My oh My oh My oh My
I’m not coming back (Oh)
 
My oh My oh My oh My (Yeah)
Trouble is promised with you
Liar liar liar liar (Liar)
You already have no house
 
My oh My oh My oh My
Without leaving a trace
Fire fire fire fire (Oh yeah, yeah)
I burned everything and disappeared
 
My oh My oh My oh My
My oh My oh My oh My
 

I'll wait for you

I know is hard dating long distance
Not have you here in the moments I need
And it's easier to say, but I know what I am passing through
I don't want to give up because I know it will worth
 
But tell me if you think about me what I think about you
If you count the hours to come back to me
Tell me the feeling wont die
That all our plans still up
 
I'll be here for you
You know well that I will
Your place is with me
And I'll wait for you
 
I believe things will go well between the two of us
Even if they try to take us apart
But I wont, I wont let
I have too much love to give
How I miss you is too much
But believe that I will endure, is so good to love you
 
But I feel that this will last, all you have to do is believe
Our love is so strong we need to fight
I hope that nothing nor nobody makes we suffer
And that all of our plans stay up
 
I'll be here for you
You know well that I will
Your place is with me
And I'll wait for you
 
I know it's not easy but
I have the assurance this will work out
And I only want you to know that I do miss you a lot
And I won't give up of you
I will always be here for you
 
The time that needs
I'll wait for you
No matter the distance
I'll wait for you
 
No matter the cost
I'll wait for you
 
I'll be here for you
You know well that I will
Your place is with me
And I'll wait for you
 

Send to the Bright Moon

Passing through the old alleyway
Next to the green wall, you look at the sunset
With just a casual look
You mess up my thoughts and make me stay up late
 
I want to turn into Zhuang Zhou and become a butterfly1
And glide across the green clouds and tree leaves
Even if the mountains are stacked2
I don't want to stop here
 
I will send my lovesickness to the bright moon
Hoping that you will notice
I will write you as a poem
And send it innocently across thousand miles
 
You are the dream that soaks the new moon white
That brings an overcast of sadness and joy
You are the breeze that dyes maple leaves red
That carries my thoughts through the mountains
 
You are the tears that soak through the first snow
That's why you can come and go as you like
You are the you who dyed my years red
Changed my silent black and white world
 
Like the stream that trickles through the old street
And takes away the dreamlike season
The people on the bridge pass by endlessly
Dragging my troubled thoughts
 
If we can't recognize the butterflies Liang Zhu3 turned into
And ride on the purple mist through the heavenly palace
We won't understand the feeling of parting
The autumn wind blowing off the leaves
 
I will send my lovesickness to the bright moon
My heart is in turmoil, can't decide
I prepare for a long night
Like the numerous stars flickering on the sky
 
You are the dream that soaks the new moon white
That brings an overcast of sadness and joy
You are the breeze that dyes maple leaves red
That carries my thoughts through the mountains
 
You are the tears that soak through the first snow
That's why you can come and go as you like
You are the you who dyed my years red
Changed my silent black and white world
 
You are the dream that soaks the new moon white
That brings an overcast of sadness and joy
You are the breeze that dyes maple leaves red
That carries my thoughts through the mountains
 
You are the tears that soak through the first snow
That's why you can come and go as you like
You are the you who dyed my years red
Changed my silent black and white world
 

• 1. reference to the Chinese philosopher Zhuang Zhou who once dreamed of being a butterfly

I cry

Versions: #4
Stay for a moment like this
Don't look towards me
I would not be able to hold
If you hold your gaze
which freezes my body
It has happened before
that I can't speak
 
You may think I'm crazy
and is true a little bit
I have to accept,
But if I don't explain to you
What I feel inside
You won't understand
when you see me cry
 
I have never felt so lonely
as I did yesterday,
suddenly I understood as I kept quiet
Life told me in cries
That I never had you and I never lost you
and explained to me,
That love is something
that happens suddenly
in natural form
Full of fire
If you force it, it withers
Without having a beginning, it reaches its end
 
Maybe now you can understand
that if you touch me, my skin burns
Maybe now you can understand
Don't come back if you don't want to see
 
(Chorus)
I cry for you
I cry without you
That I understood
That you are not for me
And I cry
 
I have never felt so lonely
as I did yesterday,
suddenly I understood as I kept quiet
Life told me in cries
That I never had you and I never lost you
and explained to me,
That love is something
that happens suddenly
in natural form
Full of fire
If you force it, it withers
Without having a beginning, it reaches its end
 
Maybe now you can understand
that if you touch me, my skin burns
Maybe now you can understand
Don't come back if you don't want to see
 
(Chorus)
I cry for you
I cry without you
That I understood
That you are not for me
And I cry
 
I cry for you
I cry without you
That I understood
That you are not for me
And I cry...
 

Second daye

Second day of the life in Antiterra
And the cowards still mourn the first day
But I keep safe my sharp night coming to day
And from the ground I count a sparkle to the sky
 
Far from the mutened rage and soundless pulses,
the hearts sunken in despair (and all you can imagine),
some sealed memory makes me tight my fists
like a seed dreaming under the snow.
I can recall how I wasted a whole youth
like a sip or just like that first day
and that i didn't stand next to my security
and with my back turned on the sun watchin only my shadow.
 
Luckily I shared and went deeper than my words
and the roots brought fire to my legs.
What a nice sinking! The earth as mother wished to hide me
and i became the uncanny that fills you up with sorrow.
And i started catching storms in my nets
and sleeping only in my mist,
killing still young my songs on my lips
so they could live in the hearts as my friends.
On the other side – I've always wanted something to change
cuz some used to measure me by my lesser deed.
But one good or bad deed brings along a million ones,
as many times i saw the ebb, I saw the tide as well
Every winter I denied spring and she wasn't mad at me·
i was late a little – she always waited
to wish me the most beautiful and to hold on tight,
coz the lie quenches its thirst on stagnant water.
Second day of life with no fright
and listen to how them cowards mourn the first of days.
But inside me i lock the breeze of dawn
and from the soil I measure an inch of sky.
 
The first day was pretty in antiterra
but the second, definitely brings some fresh air.
And so I leave the window open towards the east
to light my cell of oblivion.
And there's a chance the flies to find their time
To say, nevermind, everything has their secret purpose
Valiant laws, old and eternal, solid
And we are whole in front of the reckoning
MIracles of every day, beautiful things -think·
think of the extend of passion that'll throw away the ageing.
Shameless visions on capital words
and for our fur noone has the stitches.
Blasphemy became the weaver of our speech
and we certainly head straight on our way.
And if life let us go before the finish line,
we'll be reborn in the fire by some mother.
 

The Gardener

Versions: #2
In order to forget you
I'm going to cultivate the soil
I hope to find in it
Medicine for my sorrow
Here I will plant the rose bush
Of the thickiest thorns
I will have the wreath ready
For the moment you die inside me
 
For my sadness, Blue Violet
Small red carnation for my passion
And in order to know if he loves me back
I put off the petals of a big white chamomile
If he loves me a lot, a little or nothing at all
My heart will stay quiet
 
Little by little they will grow up
The cheerful pansies
Once they're already bloomed
Your memories will fly away
Of the Poppy's flower
I will be its best friend
I'll put it under my pillow
To sleep peacefully
 
For my sadness, Blue Violet
Small red carnation for my passion
And in order to know if he loves me back
I put off the petals of a big white chamomile
If he loves me a lot, a little or nothing at all
My heart will stay quiet
 
Lemon balm's sprout
When my sorrows increase
The flowers of my garden
Will be my nurses
And in case I'm absent
Before you regret it
You will inherit this flowers
Come to heal yourself with them
 
For my sadness, Blue Violet
Small red carnation for my passion
And in order to know if he loves me back
I put off the petals of a big white chamomile
If he loves me a lot, a little or nothing at all
My heart will stay quiet.
 

Memory

Damn this memory
It’s turned me back
Reminds me of my love in the past
Who broken my heart
Who broken my heart
 
Damn this memory
It’s turned me back
Reminds me of my love in the past
My tears become down
 
I remember him and miss
he saw me like his baby
I’m crying and missing there’s no solution
The time never come back
 
From where I got someone like him !!!!?
There’s no one like him
Who deprived my lover
I wish god destroyed who deprived him
 
God assistance you my heart for this missing
Death it’s better after broken up
 
My soul got sadness after this departure
I feel something broken in my soul
I was thinking he will be beside me to the death
But he left me
But he left me
 
I miss him so much
I imagine he is sitting in front of me
But he never come back again
The love disappear like drop in ocean
 
Until the death I will love him
This is promise to myself
I will stay waiting you
I swear my sorrow never leave me
 
God assistance you my heart for this missing
Death it’s better after broken up
 

Ranch chacarera

When I start singing chacareras
which will be, which will be
this ranch chacarera sir
of course, of course.
 
In my ranch hanged in a post
I have a violin, I have a violin
made of carob and also mistol
made by myself, made by myself
 
Maybe my ranch is a little small
for us two, for us two
I'm making close to the salao
a better one, a better one
 
When I start singing chacareras
which will be, which will be
this ranch chacarera sir
of course, of course.
 
I made to the ranch special eaves
for dancing, for singing
to have the pleasure of playing vidalas
from christmas to carnival
 
A mud oven, a mortar and a stove
I have too, I have too
And my dear girl who knows to brew a mate
nothing else needed, nothing else needed
 
If I could have a baby
I'd be happy, I'd be happy
but as they say 'God will bring it'
it will come, it will come
 
When I start singing chacareras
which will be, which will be
this ranch chacarera sir
of course, of course.

Spring

And I'll draw valleys across your body,
plugging it like it was ground,
I'll erase those marks,
from your last war.
 
And I'll burn with fire
this bad weed of yours,
and I will make you, with water,
more fertile and more alive.
 
And I'll pray for the sun
to dry up these tears,
and I'll pray for time
to heal your wounds.
 
Then I'll build a greenhouse
around your smile,
I will make out of your life
another heaven.
 
I will be your farmer
ad you will be my ground,
I'll fight with the wind
to not carry you away from me.
 
Then I'll sprinkle my seeds
in your green valley
ad we will wait together
for Spring to come,
for Spring to come.
 

Blue Train

Every minute that we have we leave behind,
Don’t expect to see them round the bend.
And although it’s sad to tell the past “Goodbye”,
Better things await us in the end.
 
Endlessly, endlessly winds the road ahead of us
Into the horizon and beyond.
Everyone, everyone always hopes for better things
Once again, once again, our blue train rides on.
 
Maybe on our way we've sometimes made mistakes,
But, as always, time will turn the page.
New adventures wait for us ahead, my friends…
Engine driver, speed us all away!
 
Endlessly, endlessly winds the road ahead of us
Into the horizon and beyond.
Everyone, everyone always hopes for better things
Once again, once again, our blue train rides on.
 
Our blue train is passing round another bend,
Slowly shifting into higher gear.
Why, oh why does this day have to sometime end?
Couldn't it just last another year?!
 
Endlessly, endlessly winds the road ahead of us
Into the horizon and beyond.
Everyone, everyone always hopes for better things
Once again, once again, our blue train rides on.
 

If (Masquerade)

Marie Antoinette:
If I wasn’t who I am1, then I’d run away with you
 
Axel von Fersen:
If I wasn’t who I am, I’d stay forever here2
 
Axel & Marie:
Why has the accident of birth imprisoned me in this life?
Something in me longs to one day be completely free3
 
Margrid Arnaud:
If I wasn’t who I am, people would fawn over4 me
 
Duke of Orléans:
If I wasn’t who I am, I would rule this land
 
Duke & Margrid:
Why has the accident of birth imprisoned me in this life?
Something in me longs to one day be completely free
 
Ensemble:
Our fate is fixed
The wish to escape remains a fantasy
And so we put on our masks
In the hall and the gallery5
But we’re never content6
 
Margrid & Axel:
Is the path we travel also determined
Desire has another end in sight7
 
Marie & Duke:
We would like to see into hearts
But what we see is always just
A masquerade, masquerade8
 
Ensemble:
Our fate is fixed
The wish to escape remains a fantasy
And so we put on our masks
In the hall and the gallery
But we’re never content
 
Marie & Margrid:
Something in me longs to one day be completely free…
 
All:
Don’t expect too much from here,
In the end9 its just a masquerade...
 

• 1. literally “that which I am”
• 2. ”with you” is implied here
• 3. literally “something in me longs after one day being free” as in “what I long for is to one day be free”
• 4. or “flatter”
• 5. perhaps this refers to paintings in galleries - they’re all fake and staged
• 6. or “satisfied/happy”
• 7. literally “has another goal/destination”
• 8. literally “mask game” - in German “die Maskerade” is “masquerade”, but the point here is the same.
• 9. literally “end-ly” or “finally”

Don't take him from me

I'm burning like a cigarette
on gloomy sky, no stars at all
I embroider the best novel with his eyes
but, today the problem is not him
 
She, a rare woman
I also would love her if I was a man
She, with her straight black hair
Where from the hell you came, you are a fairytale
She has delicacy mmm
With her touch she attract
She grab your attention
Not everybody can pass it
 
You don't take him from me
Please don't take him from me
You can have everyone
You point your finger, he loves you
But I can't have another one
And you don't take him from me
Please don't take him from me
In front of you with my naked soul
If you believe in God, bring him back to me
Bring him back to me, you bring him back to me
 
Last night when I was with him on bed
I felt he wasn't there
And today that I saw you together
I know, he was with you
I was trembling, I didn't understand why I was trembling
I faded, from your silhouette I faded
I love him so much
I love him
And today I scream lonely in a room
Why it's happening to me
 
You don't take him from me
Please don't take him from me
You can have everyone
You point your finger, he loves you
But I can't have another one
And you don't take him from me
Please don't take him from me
In front of you with my naked soul
If you believe in God, bring him back to me
Bring him back to me, you bring him back to me
 
1am, where are you
2am, are you still there
3am, please bring him back
4am, you aren't even close
5am, another morning
Don't take the sun from me or I will die
 

My Appeal to Shareholders of JSC Gazprom

1. Dear shareholders of JSC Gazprom,
It would be a great pleasure to meet you,
I am Semyon Slepakov, just call me Semyon,
You even may call me every name you like:
Victor, Gennady, Akaky1, Yegorka2,
The most important thing that it would be comfortable for us,
Okay, now I turn to the subject,
I want to tell you all about my problem:
In short, my situation is so:
Somehow, I am tired of working,
I know you will pay attention to my words,
Because who can understand them except you?
Generally, I tell you honestly and straight:
I have seen your advertising on TV,
And it very convincingly says
That all dreams come true together with Gazprom,
Gazprom always fulfills its obligations,
You all are the bright proof of that,
Seeing your facial expressions,
I guess that your dreams have come true!
Eventually, I am impressed by your bright example,
So I would like to be a shareholder like you,
I do not need a large astronomical sum of money,
Please, give me at least one little percent,
Only one percent... It matters nothing for us,
It's just a small number... of nine digits,
You're so rich that you can even wipe your asses with cash,
But someone has only a budget gap.
 
The Chorus:
 
I don't wanna be an engineer,
I don't wanna be a combine driver,
I wanna be a shareholder of JSC Gazprom,
I don't wanna be a land-surveyor,
I don't wanna be a fashion designer,
I wanna be a shareholder of JSC Gazprom.
 
2. I promise I will live in a small way
Like an ordinary employee of Gazprom,
I won't throw big money around like a fool,
I will spend my money carefully, I won’t stand out,
I’ll buy a Swiss watch made of gold,
Well, it's for being like y’all, so I won’t stand out,
There will be 10-15 diamonds on my watch,
Another way, I'll immediately start to stand out,
Also, I’ll buy a little Mercedes C-class
For being like Gazprom’s faceless mass,
I don't need nor a Maybach neither even an AMG,
I’d like just a humble C-class, for my soul,
Also, I’ll build three cottages on Rublyovka3,
Well, it’s for keeping traditions of Gazprom,
Personally, I would have enough only two houses,
But I should obey our esprit de corps!
I’ll buy a Bentley with red and blue car interior for my wife
(Like cars which your security guards gift to their wives)
And a ring with a 20 carat diamond,
Because she also wants to not stand out,
I’ll buy a Ferrari for my son, he’s already 17-years old,
Well, my boy mustn’t stand out in the MGIMO4,
I’ll buy myself a yacht of 30 meters length
So I’ll be able to blend in with your crowd,
Honoring our modest corporate customs,
I’ll celebrate my birthday in Nice,
I’ll invite Britney Spears and Madonna for singing,
So I won’t be the black sheep in the company.
 
The Chorus:
 
I don't wanna be a millionaire,
I don't wanna be a billionaire,
I wanna be a shareholder of JSC Gazprom,
I don't wanna be the Mayor of Moscow,
The President5, and even The Prime Minister6,
I wanna be a shareholder of JSC Gazprom.
 
3. My dear and lovely shareholders,
I beg you to start speedy action
To allow me to join to your magic JSC,
Despite my plea is a little sudden,
I hope you will favourably consider it,
Because the gas selling by Gazprom is our common,
But only you have your dreams come true.
 
The Chorus:
 
I don’t wanna be a policeman
And even a chief of a dermatovenereological dispensary,
I wanna be a shareholder of JSC Gazprom,
I don’t wanna be Pierre Narcisse7,
I don’t wanna be a man with a large dick,
I wanna be a shareholder of JSC Gazprom,
I don’t wanna be a poacher,
I don’t wanna be a gondolier,
I wanna be a shareholder of JSC Gazprom,
I don’t wanna be a drug courier,
I don’t wanna be a just courier,
I wanna be a shareholder of JSC Gazprom.

I'm sitting by the side of the road

I can't stay this way anymore
here, waiting for you
for you to one day all of a sudden
come back again to me
but one more time it's possible that changes
this life of mine
I'm sitting by the side of the road
which has no end
my gaze wanders around the people
of that very sad road
yesterday's nostalgia that doesn't exist anymore
causes my weeping
the sun caresses my face
and I have a dream of hope
seeing you show up there
in the distance
my love, come to me soon, I can't resist anymore
if you don't come back I won't exist
the weather's changed, it's raining
and I don't care for anything anymore
my tears mixed up with rain shout
that I love you so much
in my dark destiny I'm looking for
the faith that can't be reached
I'm only what's rest of the hope
on the side of this road
I lost my love, I can't do it anymore
if you don't come back, I won't exist
people, lands, cars, everything, everything
is mixed up in my mind
and my shadow is fed up with following me
and it dies slowly
only you can't see that I can't suffer no mre
this destiny of mine
and always waiting , always to see your love
by the side of this road
I have to forget that I exist
I have to know for sure if I exist
if I exist

I Dreamed A Dream (Hebrew Version)

There were better days
Where people spoke softly
In words of grace
There were days of love
In a world that was woven
With songs of magic
There were days, but it's all over...
 
I dreamed a dream long ago
The hope of my life like a shining light
I dreamed of an endless love
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
 
I was very young then
With dreams made out of thin air
A world washed by pink light
I sang a song, I sipped some wine
 
But there are tigers at night
The roll of thunder in their voices
And they tear apart
Dreams made of golden string
 
He slept a summer by my side
And my days were tasteful
And he plucked my childhood
And disappeared when autumn came
 
But someday
I dreamed, we'll be together again
But dreams do not come true
And the heart also surrenders to the fear
 
I dreamed a dream about a life
So different from all this suffering
A different life called my name
My life has murdered...
My dream
 

I don't know what

Me, I already have too many tears
And sadness in my life
But now I see the sky
And the stars that reflect in your eyes
 
I don't know what
You have that which one can't describe
I don't know what
Something that burns in me
If I am near you it's like a delirious feeling
I don't know why
 
When the storm goes
The sun and the moon shine
We don't see anything but love
Hearts which beat together
Is it that your heart beats for me?
 
I don't know what
You have that which one can't describe
I don't know what
Something that burns in me
If I am near you it's like a delirious feeling
I don't know why
 
I love you madly
I will love you for eternity
I don't know what…
 
I don't know what
You have that which one can't describe
I don't know what
Something that burns in me
If I am near you it's like a delirious feeling
I don't know why
 

The hope

In the land with no clouds,
many children wait for the morning.
In the land with no rain,
kids want a new world...
 
Come with us, come with us,
child with eyes so big!
Don't be afraid, don't be so sad,
Don't shudder!
Day after day, day after day,
laugh, sing, cry
and spread your hand
to hold mine...
 
Come with us today to launch
peace on Earth
Come with us today
Come with us today
the world is yours...
 
In the land of the yellow Sahara,
if you could only look at a flower...
In the land of wild winds,
many children watch the stars
 
Come with us, come with us,
child with eyes so big!
Don't be afraid, don't be so sad,
Don't shudder!
Day after day, day after day,
laugh, sing, cry
and spread your hand
to hold mine...
 
Come with us today to launch
peace on Earth
Come with us today
Come with us today
the world is yours...
 
Come with us today to launch
peace on Earth
Come with us today
Come with us today
the world is yours...
 

Losing You

Versions: #2
Slowly, meaningless 1 words melt away, while I nervously bite my lip.
Someone loses, someone leaves, but later there's just a faded 2 memory.
Today an emotionless 3 taxi waits for someone
to carry the tears away, and not bring her back.
 
I'm losing you. Losing you.
I'm losing you. Losing you.
Right now, I can't think. I'll just close my eyes for an hour.
This is the last time that I'll lose you.
 
It's impossible to explain what I'm feeling inside. 4
Today I lost (you), and (my heart) stopped beating in my chest.
 
I'm losing you. Losing you.
I'm losing you. Losing you.
Right now, I can't think. I'll just close my eyes for an hour.
This is the last time that I'll lose you.
 
One cigarette (later) and a few minutes (more)
I'll try to go to sleep.
Cold hands caress me.
I'm simply losing my mind.
 
I'm losing you. Losing you.
I'm losing you. Losing you.
Right now, I can't think. I'll just close my eyes for an hour.
This is the last time that I'll lose you.

Felicianera couplets

My singing wakes up here
with a Entrerriano whistle,
birds sing and whistle
from my coasts, Feliciano *.
 
Braided in couplets of two
for Mr. Carlos Parera,
good friend, one of a kind
of Felicianeras lineage.
 
Oh, who could live
like that brother bird,
to be born and to die
on your shores, Feliciano***!
 
To be the wings of my Feliciano
and in your destiny to dream,
to make of life a trill
and in the song to live on.
 
From the green to the blue to travel
to have payé, to be a baqueano***,
to bloom with the singing
of my coasts, Feliciano.
 
Silence of your beaches,
thickets of chilcal*
that break in the tremulous
alert of the thrush *.
 
When the light slashes
the heart of the talas***,
when it distils harmony
the skylark has bewitched it.
 
So mixed of voices
your scrublands and estuaries
and the sweet, chained lullaby
of the chucarreros***.
 
Oh, who could live
like that brother bird,
to be born and die
on your shores, Feliciano!
 
And I'm already bidding farewell,
friend Carlos Parera,
with my flock and my couplets
of Felicianera lineage.
 

Géraldine

Géraldine's long white arm
Dangles lasciviously off the bed.
My black tarantula patters,
approaching her.
I dreamed that the insect
was going to bite Géraldine.
But what is is that I imagine,
Géraldine broke it.
 
Géraldine I ha...love you!1
 
Géraldine is all alone,
Naked in her bathroom.
It's especially important that she won't scream
When she feels my hands
Seize her, pressing shut that throat
That belongs to no-one but me.
There we've got it, I'm going crazy,
What am I imagining!
 
Géraldine I ha...love you!
 
I stick my long knife
Into Géraldines left breast.
The red blood on the skin,
It's beautiful, it drips down.
Her terrified eyes look at me
For the last time.
Oh Géraldine take care,
Géraldine I've got more than you.
 
Géraldine I ha...love you!
 
Géraldine I imagine
Every evening, lying in bed,
That I kill you, I assassinate you,
I cut your throat, and I strangle you.
Oh, it's only because I love you.
And if you don't come back
I'll go to the extreme
I can't be held responsible for myself anymore.
 
Géraldine I ha...love you!

You're not the way you were anymore

Winter's gonna come as in the old days
and the sky as always
the loneliest ones will dream in the station
the moon above...
I'll see two angels in the parking lot
just singers at the gate
the house at the corner will have
the colour of a morning...
 
But you're not
the way you were anymore
No, you're not
the way you were when you were mine...
You're not
the way you were anymore
No, you're not
the way you were when you were mine...
 
The bells will ring again
never late, as usually
the phone will ring the same way:
one-two-three...
We'll listen to the same jokes
we'll laugh all so much
and we'll be back for an hour
there in the past...
 
But you're not
the way you were anymore
No, you're not
the way you were when you were mine...
You're not
the way you were anymore
No, you're not
the way you were when you were mine...
 

Oh My Spring

Please go away
Don't look at me like that
I just want to be alone now
That's all I want
You won't have me doubting
Myself anymore
 
I don't care anymore
If you're going to condemn me
For seeking my own destiny
Or if on the day I leave
You're going to tangle me up as always
So that I have no path to follow
 
Oh my spring
Who ever shall give back to me
What I was before
Slowly
So that I can find a new path
Slowly, slowly, slowly
Like me
 
My future is a lie
My past haunts me and weighs me down
Now if I keep quiet down the line
I know that my mouth will burn
 
I shouldn't keep quiet
Because I'm on a quest to find
A slow path
I'm on a quest to find a slow path
I'm on a quest
To find you, to find me
And to find you on the way
Oh my spring
Who ever shall give back to me
What I was before
Slowly
When I breathed slowly
When I moved slowly
Slowly like me
When you loved me slowly
When you kissed me slowly
When you believed me slowly
Slowly like me
 

Companions

The best thing a man can do when he sees a woman kissing his son, when he sees a woman break winter´s teeth and break her back for others, is to give way. To look on intently. To stand up. Escandar said that wherever he looked, he could only see women fighting. Women bearing the load, opening, healing. Mothers who have their souls crushed bending down to remove the stones in your path, so I won´t trip over them.
 
You´ll always see them ready. She-wolves that milk and tend to their cubs, that tend to everything, mothers with open arms, open hearts, open souls. They are perfect by the mere fact of existing, of having been born, of returning that present for giving birth to another life. You should clap when you see them pass by, cleaning the world with their sons, with February on their backs, taking care of he house, of production, of life. They are everywhere, blazing a path, bringing you light, wiping the ghosts from your brow.
 
Women whose elbows get nailed so they won´t climb the social ladder fixed in place by men, because they owe themselves to the house. A world of men, women held back, patriarchal world, sick world, women cast out, women without a garden of Eden. Just loving, seeing the uneven distribution of power and keeping on loving. Women who love, gendered division of jobs, women who love, obstacles to advancement, unpaid jobs (to want and to shut up), women who love, competent but not outstanding, patriarchal world, sick world, sick world, sick world.
 
Poster woman for your enjoyment, for you to look upon, objectified women. Bombarded women: the tyranny of cosmetics, complex upon complex, sale upon sale.
 
Women we force to be mothers, lovers, flowerpots, ribs, Cinderella, cooks, whores, educators, Adam´s rib, doormat, 24/7, always perfect, rib and culprit, original sin, always ready the way I like them, the way men like them, always at hand. And not only rib, not only Mary Madeleine, and not only brothel, also burkha, Mad Juana, genital mutilation too, Joan of Arc, arranged marriages, Penelope too, Cassandra, also Pandora, also the guilt, not only the rib.
 
Domestic violence, with or without blows, justifications, customs, excuses, accepted societal norms, accpeted by everyone because we are not brave enough to restart to world, with them on the wheel, with us on the wheel, with everyone on the wheel, courts of law that forgive.
 
If you don´t see them, you are an idiot. They are fighting, breaking their bones for everyone. Many say it, that if they ruled the world, there would be no wars. None will push others to kill the son that other mother bore in her womb because only them know the endless pain of losing your offspring.They would never take the miracle of being a mother away from someone. Never. They would never.
 
I only want them to rest, for us to let them rest, that this century will, little by little, return them all they lost, their timetables, that they stop cleaning up our path, of solving our crosswords, they have enough with theirs, with their ghosts, let them forget mine, yours.
 
Frida´s mirror, Szymborska´s mirror, Rosa Parks mirror, the mothers of Plaza de Mazo, Mafalda, Femen, Simone de Beauvoir, women fighting against history, Mother Theresa´s hands, Indira Ghandi, Victoria Kent and his gaze on the prisoner. The example set, the marked path.
 
Mothers, women, sisters, partners, companions, eternal, companions, miracle, companions, without owners, companions, always, companions.
 

Monday

Monday, the first day in life without you
On the table there's coffee only for me
Your cup is empty and your seat is empty
Monday, the first day with silence everywhere around the house
But you know that my heart belongs to you
Why are you changing now the route?...
 
Monday, oh my God, how I hate that day
From now on, it will be a nightmare
Four wheels and a blank look on my face
On Monday I will not have your good morning wishes anymore
Your absence is driving me crazy
I can't handle being away from you
 
Monday, the first day I'm waking up without you
How I would like it all to be a lie
A bad dream I've seen
Monday, loneliness is a pistol with one bullet
That takes my hope even further
And shoots me right in the heart...
