And now dance

It was a beautiful and peaceful night
when I saw her in the crowd.
Her beautiful eyes enchanted me
and then I knew what I want.
 
And when she looked at me,
I thought, 'It's the time for the first step
and I'd like your eyes
to look only into my eyes.'
 
And from night until morning,
we'll be dancing, my darling.
 
And now dance, dance, dance,
let the music carry us.
I want to dance with you here.
I want to dance with you and and that's that.
 
'Cause today I already know, I know, I know
that this night won't end.
The girl of my dreams,
I want to dance with you and and that's that.
 
And when this night ended quickly
and the time of separation came,
without saying anything, you didn't say good-bye.
I thought that this is the end.
 
But even a few days didn't pass,
I thought that it's a dream
when I saw her by the sea.
These legs want to dance.
 
And from night until morning,
we'll be dancing, my darling.
 
'Cause today I already know, I know, I know
that this night won't end.
The girl of my dreams,
I want to dance with you and and that's that.
 
'Cause today I already know, I know, I know
that this night won't end.
The girl of my dreams,
I want to dance with you and and that's that.
 
And now dance, dance, dance, my darling,
Let the world spin
when you're dancing and I'm dancing.
 
'Cause today I already know, I know, I know
that this night won't end.
The girl of my dreams,
I want to dance with you and and that's that.
 
And now dance...
 

When a woman

When a woman
Gets up in the morning
Heats some water
Examines her hands
Gets out on the front
Of her cottage
Then perhaps she remembers
Unknown things
She had forgotten
Like a folded of paper
Under a small cushion
As soft as a loafer
 
Gets up in the morning
Heats some water
Looking in the distance
To know what the sky may bring
If it will rain tomorrow
These are unknown things
She had forgotten
Like a folded paper
As soft as a pillow
That one, that very one
On which so long ago
Someone had written
The end of this poem
Of this story
 
Lets water run down
Along the small of her back
Along her spine
And then she remembers
Like a folded paper
Under a small cushion
As soft as a loafer
Those unknown things
She had forgotten
Like a folded paper
Under a small cushion
 
Those unknown things
She had forgotten
An enamelled saucer
Lit up by a ray of sunlight
 

What use is the past ?

What use is the past
Men and animals we knew
Foutains where we drank
Everything is short-lived
A milestone along the ditch
A hand-to-hand fight
 
Even the names that were intertwined
In the stone are now rubbed out
And under the thin and cold rain
Even the oak will lie on the ground
Between two dry flowers
And I shall walk away
Towards the future
Caricature
Just like the skin of a fruit
Of what used to be
Of what fades away
Of what used to be
A river
Enchanted
A river
 
Blackbird and thrush have sung
But say who heard them
In the garden, in the orchard
We were all herdsmen or sheperds
But something must have changed
To blur out the usefulness
Of the past
Men and animals we knew
Our toys are now broken
 
What's the use they met
What's the use they loved each other
If everything keeps going without them
Even the stone is rubbed out
At the place they kissed
At the place they told each other everything
 
Is there a single oak tree standing
Between two dry flowers
And I shall walk away
Towards the future
Towards the frame
Just like the skin of a fruit
Of what used to be
Of what fades away
Of what used to be
A river
Enchanted
A river
 
Is there the slightest mud stain
Or did they make love standing up
In the silks, in the clothes
Let those who knew speak out
But everything dissolves everythink is drunk
Like a hemlock goblet
In the silks, in the clothes
Let those who knew speak out
But everything is dissolved...
 
To the riches of Mysore
To the strands of Cebu
To the riches of Mysore
Let them speak out
But everything is dissolved
In the silks, in the clothes
Like a hemlock goblet
Like a hemlock
Like a hemlock goblet
Like a hemlock
 

In my cradle I can hear

In my cradle I can hear
I can hear the melody of the wind
Like a young child
They hold his hand
They teach him things
All dressed in pink
And white satin
And white satin
 
In my cradle I can hear
I can hear the melody of the wind
From the deep of my dream
Like a buttercup
It has nothing but the sun
It has nothing but the sun
And trees rustling
And trees rustling
And the song of life
And the song of life
And the song of life
 
Like a young child
They hold his hand
They teach him things
All dressed in pink
And white satin
 
I can hear the melody of the wind
From the deep of my dream
Like a buttercup
It has nothing but the sun
It has nothing but the sun
And the green of trees
And the green of trees
And leaves rustling
And the song of life
And the song of life
And the song of life
And the song of life
 

24 hours in love

I don't even know it myself, but, oh, it feels so good
When you laugh, my heart skips a beat
My thoughts are full of you, to the brim
 
I don't sleep anymore because I keep myself up
When I sleep all I dream of is you
Oh, it's a fairy tale and that's isn't wrong
Even though it seems my heart has been hypnotized
 
Oh, I'm in love with you 24 hours a day
Oh, in love with you 24 hours a day
 
I'm drawn to you, like a magnet
I don't know what I should do
Is this it, tell me please...
If you feel this, are you truly in love?
 

Fragments of Memories -Tentomon Side-

Koushirou-han, don’t do that!
 
Koushirou-han, don’t do that!
If you sleep at your desk you’ll catch cold!
It causes stiff neck, lumbago…
Eat my special miso soup and
It’ll give you strength
Overwork is forbidden, your body is an asset
My most-important partner
It’s no use worrying
 
Don’t make such a sad face
Give me a smile!
Even if I forget everything
And start over from the very beginning
You’ll still know me, right?
I’m sure it’ll be fun
That’s what I believe
 
Koushirou-han, you’ll be fine
Koushirou-han, you’ll do your best
Koushirou-han, you can see it through
That’s what I’m sayin’
You’ll blow through any mistakes!
 
(blow through)
 
It’s especially rough, huh?
Even things you’re good at seem impossible?
Just do your best
‘Cause I’m always by your side
Koushirou-han, don’t do that!
 
It bothers me when you don’t take me seriously
My partner of many years
Even I kind of get it
Gaining knowledge is like a treasure hunt
And the things you don’t know are the treasure
And of all that hidden treasure
Which is the brand newest?
That’s why it’s fun, am I right?
 
Koushirou-han, you’ll be fine
Koushirou-han, you’ll do your best
Koushirou-han, you can see it through
My prided partner
The number one genius in Japan
Aren’t you more of a super amazing person
Then you think you are?
So, Koushirou-han
Face forward
No matter what happens
Don’t throw away your hope

Stay With Me

Suddenly a square, suddenly a bar
Suddenly some wine, suddenly (I'm) confused
Suddenly you, sitting next to me
Ah, suddenly you, who I worship so
 
For me, these are the most beautiful hours.
This can't last long enough for me
Saying nothing, (we're) just looking at each other
Yeah, this is truly what I want to succumb to
I'd give all time for this
You don't know me, yet you belong in my life
Maybe it's a lot I want
Only for you, I'm willing to waste my time
 
(chorus)
Stay with me
It'd be too good if you asked me this now
Don't leave
No, I will never get tired of you
Stay with me
It'd be too good if you asked me this now
Don't leave
No, I will never get tired of you
 
I don't even know your name, yet you're with me
I'm now rhyming a poem for you
And everyday I spent waiting for you
You cause me sleepless nights
 
Don't know anything to sya
or to explain
I close my eyes
and meet you
 
Stay with me
It'd be too good if you asked me this now
Don't leave
No, I will never get tired of you
Stay with me
It'd be too good if you asked me this now
Don't leave
 
No, I will never get tired of you
For me, these are the most beautiful hours.
This can't last long enough for me
Saying nothing, (we're) just looking at each other
Yeah, this is truly what I want to succumb to
I'd give all time for this
You don't know me, yet you belong in my life
Maybe it's a lot I want
Only for you, I'm willing to waste my time
 
Stay with me
It'd be too good if you asked me this now
Don't leave
No, I will never get tired of you
Stay with me
It'd be too good if you asked me this now
Don't leave
 
No, I will never get tired of you
For me, these are the most beautiful hours.
This can't last long enough for me
Saying nothing, (we're) just looking at each other
Yeah, this is truly what I want to succumb to
I'd give all time for this
You don't know me, yet you belong in my life
Maybe it's a lot I want
Only for you, I'm willing to waste my time
 
Stay with me
Stay with me
Don't leave
Don't leave
Stay with me
Stay with me
Don't leave
Don't leave
 

Enter the dream

Pull the sheet back over your eyes and
Enter the dream
Start again other people's life from where you left it
When the day is done
See colors, see shapes
In a word walk while the others sleep
See colors, see shapes
Towns becoming towns right by the night
With animals walking silently
In your back, fear always follows you
 
Pull the sheet back over your eyes and
Enter the dream
Turn on the marvellous screen
When the day is done
To find your wounded love
At the bottom of the drawer where you left it
To find your wounded love
Cut the world in pieces with a razor blade
To see the black pit inside the fruit
Life is not what they want us to believe
Life is not life
 
Life is not what they want us to believe
The sheet of despair is better
As life is not what they want us to believe, then
The sheet of despair is better
Pull the sheet back over your eyes
Turn on the marvellous screen
When the day is done
 

He who walks ahead

He who walks ahead
You have known him for a long time
You see his back, you know how he is inside
He walks in the storm
And you don't hear him
It's never the right time
In the old days he was a leader
Now he is nothing, the soil is glassy
The road is black like licorice
The trees planted in olden days
Shed on him with their wooden hair
Both sun and shade
You have little love left for him now
But you will follow him till the end
Till the end
Till the end...
 
Remember, when you met him
That often you were naked
You see what he has become
It's you who drag the case
With the years you have put inside of it
Time has no more hold over you
Only hide and skin remain
Of the suit and the coat
You used to put on his back
Close your eyes, think it over
He who walks ahead
So that your heart may hurt
As his own hurts to be like this
You have little love left for him now
But you will follow him till the end
Of memories
Till the end
Till the end...
 
He who walks ahead
He who walks ahead
He who walks ahead
You know him
You know him
You know him
 

We Don't Need Flags

With the authority that good judgement gives us and in full use of our reason,
We declare to officially break the ties that could ever bind us
To an institution or form of representation that declares us as part of their total.
 
With full honesty and with a cool mind
We deny any pattern,
Now every currency is indifferent to us,
We deny any color,
Call it religion, call it nationality, we don't want representativeness.
 
We don't need flags,
We don't recognize borders,
We won't accept affiliations,
We won't listen to more sermons.
 
It's easy to vegetate, let others talk and say 'they know more than me',
Put on a badge, march behind a leader and let them wield us as a reason,
We are not going to wait, we never liked the idea, they are not doing what at the beginning was agreed upon.
 
We don't need flags,
We don't recognize borders,
We won't accept affiliations,
We won't listen to more sermons.
 
We don't need flags,
We don't recognize borders,
We won't accept affiliations,
We won't listen to more sermons.
 
No, no, no, no, no, no... No! hey!
No, no, no, no, no...
 

Waiting is Useless

What do you want to understand
Of this love
Of my giving me too much
Of my losing hope
For a change
I always find I only love myself
 
But as long as you stay, I don't care
Which do you want to be the price of being a loser?
It's pretty obvious that you're only a lover
But it's only me who loves
 
For you, you don't know
For you
The things I'd do
The things that
You would never do
For me
I know
Waiting is useless
 
But I know
That if I went away
From you
I know
After a moment
I'd be back
Waiting is useless
 
Your hesitation no longer affects me
I'm ready to do everything to be close to you
By now, it's always me who pays the bill
 
And if there's anyone who thinks they should say it's enough
Let it be without a head
That hurts itself
It doesn't matter
The only exigence
Is being with you
 
Because the things I'd do
For you
That you would never do
Waiting is useless
 
But you know
That if I went away
From you
I know
After a moment
I'd be back
Waiting is useless

How the Things Were

I think it's time for another smoke bomb
And beat me in retreat
Our society hurts me
You are not any girl
 
How ridiculous is it that you think
Everything is yours including me
All of that can be yours
But tonight is for both
 
Maybe it was in the morning
in which bandaged the two
We discovered how things were
And without opening our eyes we teleport
Where we would like to be
 
Then undo the spell
that forces me to crawl
Between Guinea and your savanna
Our society does not help much
While you have a good time, I fight
 
x2
Maybe it was in the morning
in which bandaged the two
We discovered how things were
And without opening our eyes we teleport
Where we would like to be
 
But I'm also sorry
That it's only a moment
That we should all spend
 
x2
Maybe it was in the morning
in which bandaged the two
We discovered how things were
And without opening our eyes we teleport
Where we would like to be
 

Obok

I don't belong to your world
You don't belong to mine
But you get used to anything
And sometimes I turn around
As I go on without you
 
You may turn the other cheek one thousand times
Split your coat
You may carry your cross
Fair enough, but I did carry mine
From Obok to Lalibela
I have kept a few nails
Hammered, hammered
Hammered, hammered
 
I don't belong to your world
To your wisemen, your marabouts
Who read in animal guts
I don't belong to a century
That boils like a pot
Of tasteless soup
 
Suddenly you turn round
As if you wanted to split wood
And set fire everywhere
As I did you see
From Obock to Lalibela
I have kept a few bruises
Hammered, hammerred
Hammerred
 
From the hill of Saint-Cloud
Sometimes I turn around
Like a ship without mast
I go without you
 
You may turn the other cheek one thousand times
Split your coat
You may carry your cross
As I did carry mine, see
You see, from Obok to Lalibela
I have kept a few bruises
Hammered, hammered
Hammered
 
Hammered, hammered
 

Her room

And I promised myself that I would get myself together
And I promised myself that I would not call anymore,
But she makes me not be a man of my word anymore.
And I run on the streets, drunk, again
So that I can maybe forget all that hurt me
But it hurts more and more.
What was I thinking to look at her?
 
Her room,
The museum of love,
From today, it is closed
And I've woken up from the dream.
Her room,
A world without a key,
Even if today was the last day,
Again, we would find each other.
 
And I tried at other doors, too
Even at Brancusi's door,
But still, I miss her voice, at the shower.
From so many doors of the world that were constructed,
Exactly on hers did I knock,
And I remained, for good, at hers, unloved.
What was I thinking to kiss her?
 
Her room,
The museum of love,
From today, it is closed
And I've woken up from the dream.
Her room,
A world without a key,
Even if today was the last day,
Again, we would find each other.
Again, we would love each other.
 

Petenera of the Sea

I'd like to know
One day you'll have to explain it to me
Because the sea is always
Present in you
 
You'll have to explain it to me
Without too many words
But in one go
Because day by day
I like to sail more and more
 
Sailor burning with desire
For the water of your walk
Because the sea is always
Present in yout
 
You'll have to teach me
The width of paths
From the edge into the sea
Because day by day
I like to sail more and more
 

Little Rock 'n' Roll Flower

Versions: #2
Why throw flowers
if you are a garden?
With those scents,
I feel like dying.
 
Little rock ‘n’ roll flower,*

unforgiving.
I will put you in a pot.
 
Why give kisses,

She is everywhere

You don't want to be longing
And there she passes by
Can you make her turn around
Is it a fantasy?
Take the chance while you're alive
 
Yes, she will love you with the life that you're given
She sees you
She will heal every wound
You can be someone's everything
And you can share sweet moments and every tear
She hears you
She can decipher your tracks
She is everywhere
 
Uncertainty disturbs
Will she be here
When it feels like that, and give you peace?
The anxiety becomes overwhelming
But she is the one you need
When you're drifting
Stop hesitating, commit yourself, you're just being stupid now
 
She will love you with the life that you're given
She sees you
She will heal every wound
You can be someone's everything
And you can share sweet moments and every tear
She hears you
She can decipher your tracks
She is everywhere
 
Yes, she will love you with the life that you're given
She sees you
She will heal every wound
You can be someone's everything
And you can share sweet moments and every tear
She hears you
She can decipher your tracks
She is everywhere
She is everywhere
She is everywhere
She is everywhere
She is everywhere
 

Letter from the ( White ) Duke

They pass like swallows
Possibilities and utopias
They fly without reins
As free harmonies.
 
And they no longer know the laws of gravity
Ostals 1 and complexity
I reach another dimension
If I close my eyes, I see the infinity in me
I overcome my limits more than I imagine
You are talking to a person who is not there
Silent soul that this sun illuminates
 
I see the towns - I see the mountains
Here in my heart - Out of time
A new fronteer - Another game to play
Old pictures pass
Indelible on us
There are still phrases and music
And you will hear that beat
I no longer understand certain meanness
The poor mediocrity
I live another dimension
If you close your eyes, you see the infinity in you
And you overcome your limits more than you imagine
You will see that there is a spiritual world
Fire inside the soul ,that all around lights up
 
I see the towns - I see the mountains
Here in my heart - Out of time
A new fronteer - Another game to play
I see the towns - I see the mountains
If I close my eyes, I see the infinity in me
I overcome my limits more than I imagine
Down down , I see the wall falling ...

To whom love failed

To whom love failed, who didn't love
To the one who never touched her fragrant lips
Never felt her dark look
Her hurting eyes, disarmed by fever
 
To the one who never pointed at the deep wound
The tearing pain of the beloved one
And the most commonplace daily moments
Becoming precious without meaning to
 
Like a plant you pull up
From the soil, from the compost 1
Like a hand you set free
 
But for sure these two will lose their eyesight
In the midst of heavenly bliss
Together blind to the cruel world
With no need to hide anymore
 
Like a plant you pull up
From the soil, from the compost
Like a hand you set free
 
To whom this caress was never given
To the one who never touched the thick grass
That shivers and bows as in times past
But these holes are sockets through which the air blows
 
And in the end I couldn't care less about it
Perhaps shall I disappear in a fold of nothingness
For having been together, leaving nothing more than
A feeling that vanishes in tears and water
 
Like a plant you pull up
From the soil, from the compost
And remains attached by its stem
And will neither grow nor die nor pass
Simply decay
Who didn't know
Who didn't love...
 

Soon

There is a prince somewhere across the world
Who is looking for me.
Like the rainbow in the sky
He will appear in my home.
 
Soon, it won't be a dream,
He will come here, yes...
 
I know, and hear
His voice
Because my heart is his.
 

Bad karma

It's big, it's big,
you can always see
such a white, white sand.
Yet the world is enclosed regardless,
inside a screen.
You can see men, women and children moving
inside a screen.
But someone plays up there,
pulls the neck downward.
Things go about,
switch on and off
and are happy and bleed
endlessly
on this screen, on this screen.
 
No future, no past,
not the slightest reason to live,
no reason to exist.
No future, no past either,
and yet you have to cross
from one shore to the other.
 
Never look through the rear window
at the lizards bogged down under the stone benches
at the buffalos stuck in the river sand banks,
temples bared, hair pulled back,
temples bared, hair pulled back,
 
Look and see darkness passing by,
Look and see darkness and lights passing by (x2)
 
Bad karma.
And since ten thousand years the mark of a finger
pushing the wheel,
the wheel of law.
Slam the door and shudder, shudder...
 
No future, no past,
now where are the roads,
the faded roads?
What have become of all
our thoughts?
This world is bound to break.
 
What has become of all our past lives,
the marches on which we all danced,
our acts, our gestures, our thoughts?
Whose skink have they sunk into?
Whose skink have they sunk into?
 
Look and see darkness passing by,
Look and see darkness and lights passing by (x2)
 
Bad karma.
On the bottom of a glass, the mark of a finger
like a face that would look like you.
Slam the door and shudder, shudder...
 
Bad karma.
And since ten thousand years the mark of a finger
pushing the wheel,
the wheel of law.
Slam the door and shudder, shudder...

On the day you will want to leave

Versions: #2
There won't be any trains left in the stations
on the day you will want to leave,
among children sleeping
in gardens and in beds.
There won't be any planes left in the air.
The city will be like a wasteland.
Nothing but children huddling together
to block your way.
 
Waiting for the fires and the noise of the city
to ebb,
you will pour water on the foreheads of those you love
and who are bleeding,
among sleeping children
and birds fallen from their nests.
 
There won't be any flowers left on the tables.
The child will put his satchel down.
Hiding his face in his hands to cry,
he will hear you walking away.
 
Waiting for the fires and the noise of the city
to ebb,
you will pour water on the foreheads of those you love
and who are bleeding,
among unknown children
and lost wolves and dogs.
 
You're bound to remember one day
this city that once was yours,
with its children asleep
on the marble fountain rims.
 
Waiting for the fires and the noise of the city
to ebb,
you will pour water on the foreheads of those you love
and who are bleeding,
among sleeping children

Sad Tropics

Versions: #2
We're told about Indians who suffer and are becoming scarce.
Aren't we themselves oppressed peoples?
No penis sheats, no curare,
but the same terror that forces us to back off.
 
Some used to set off in the morning and come back
in the evening, living off the land and false hopes.
On piddling hunting grounds,
you still own the right to be cynical
and to refuse to follow the crowd like donkeys1,
and not to go dancing like pieces of machinery
on the incense smokes of
on the incense smokes of sad tropics,
among apocalyptic flute sounds.
 
Some used to set off in the morning and come back
in the evening, hunters-gatherers clad in black.
Even though the forest is dying, rotting away,
this is not enough to be considered a challenge.
 
Some Atlantises again
Some Atlantises again are collapsing into the sea,
but all that dies one day is reborn one day.
We still own the right to sit there
in the din of great trees and saws,
not to ape others, to pretend,
not to go dancing like pieces of machinery
on the blue smokes of sad tropics,
on the blue smokes of sad tropics,
among apocalyptic flute sounds.
 
Naked Indian girls, ageless women
who will have turned into peat or folliage,
the day you wake up, the swamp
will be covered in steel up to the clouds.
 
And in front of precious marble pools
the Indian girls come to die and become scarce.
Aren't we themselves the rarest of Indians?
It might not be too late to save us.
 
Since we all have to meet our end someday, somewhere,
we will go into hinding in some pond,
in one of those lagoons spared by History,
where the sand is a home, and the wind is a tune,
in one of those sad tropics' lagoons
where the sand is a home, and the wind is a tune,
in one of those sad tropics' lagoons.
 
In one of those lagoons
where the sand is a home.
in one of those sad tropics' lagoons.
 
In one of those lagoons
In one of those lagoons

Spare Keys

So we will be
My friend, I have an arrow in my heart
men that show up and disappear
Only you stayed in the end
So we will be
Only when you're here do I feel great
men come and go, our dreams stolen
Again the two of us remain together
 
He leaves the house and I feel a pain in my heart
Inside my life there is a another cut
See if the color fades from my eyes
Be careful with me
Hold me I'm a mess catch me fainting
Give me another drag from your cigarette
Open my purse, I have spare keys
For you to have
 
Another defeat
Don't tell me what I said
Love is fire
 
Look at what I have suffered
Don't tell me what I said
And don't lose the keys
 
So we will be
My friend I'm losing myself
I didn't tell you 'thank you' or how much I love you
I only say that I will fall and die
So we will be
You gather my unwashed hair
Our taxi arrived and he missed it
You'll tell me, wearing my glasses
 
He leaves the house and I feel a pain in my heart
Inside my life there is a another cut
See if the color fades from my eyes
Be careful with me
Hold me I'm a mess catch me fainting
Give me another drag from your cigarette
Open my purse, I have spare keys
For you to have
 
Another defeat
Don't tell me what I said
Love is fire
 
Look at what I have suffered
Don't tell me what I said
And don't lose the keys
 

Song for you to love me

I drew your heart
over my flag,
I left it hanging eternally in the balcony
for you to love me.
 
I made you a new song...
I'm having three hundred...
there's no melody that I haven't tried,
for you to love me.
 
I'll take you my dear,
even in my last breath,
I'll take you in my voice
your name like the wind on the high sail,
I'll take you to a painless harbor.
And beyond too...
 
I'll take you my dear,
even in my last verse,
until my song
becomes a memory of someone who tried
to change the world and never achieved it...
but the world didn't change me.
 
I tried to bring the sun down for you
without a ladder,
I tried it writing 'a while ago' in Sol minor
for you to love me.
 
As I'm not a doctor
I didn't heal your pains
but if it were the case I'll pull out my heart today
for you to love me.

The Girl from Huanchaco

Brunette girl from
You who come to the very sea side
To ask the waves
If they have any piece of news.
 
The sea, with its strange power
Cast its nets upon your darling lover
And imprisoned him in its waters
(Which are) so cold, so blue and so transparent.
 
Where is he?
Why won't he come back?
He has already been missing for a week...
His boat, filled with dreams
Gently rocks under the sun's caress.
 
I'm comforted by his perfume
Which has impregnated my handkerchief
Since that night in October
When he kissed me for the first time.
 
Where could he be?
When will be return?
She is already dying of grief over him!
Stop crying
For he shall come back
To tell you how much he loves you...
 

Womb

Children in paradise
Are children on earth
Lined up like radishes
Along their mother
 
Children in paradise
Are children on earth
With rounded eyelids
And noxious irides
 
(Noxious irides)
They came on earth
Without asking for anything
Like a winter rain
Over a flooded city
 
Is it to help us
Withstand the fear of the dark
The trembling of our memories
The rattling of our jaws ?
 
Send us back where we came from
Where we were born, where we remember
The drops of tenderness
The sobs of drunkenness
 
Send us back where we came from
Without difficulty you know quite well
That we have not really grown up since
Blood throbs at our temples
 
Womb that made me
In its unmade bed
Womb that made me
Evil... Evil is done
 
Womb
Womb
 
Send us back where we came from
Through the same path, the same channel
Of the everlasting pain
Of the vale of tears
 
Send us back for our own good
We don't need more, we ask for nothing
Other than swimming in the great liquid
Like an empty-eyed tadpole
Womb that made me
In a perfect mold
Womb that made me
Evil... Evil is done
 
Womb
 
Womb after all
You know the world is ready-made
The more you move towards the infinite
The more you know its finished
Womb that made me
Evil, the evil is done
The more you move towards the infinite
The more you know its finished
Womb
Womb
Womb
 
Womb...
Womb you..
Womb...
Womb you...
 

Always together

We shall always talk together
We shall always understand each other
All our days look alike
We shall always get bored together
We shall always get sad together
We shall always get happy together
If heaven's voice trembles
We shall stay together all the same
If heaven's voice trembles
We shall sleep together all the same
We shall fly away towards the clouds
We shall be able to break the bars
The bars, the bars
Of the cage
We shall be able to break the bars
The bars, the bars
 
We shall fly away towards the clouds
We shall not carry any luggage
Farewell Earth, last journey
The great trip in the skies
We shall always fly off together
We shall leave the temple stairs
If heaven's voice trembles
We shall sleep together all the same
If heaven's voice trembles
We shall stay together all the same
We shall fly away towards the clouds
We shall be able to break the bars
The bars, the bars
Of the cage
We shall be able to break the bars
The bars, the bars
 
We shall fly away towards the clouds
We shall be able to break the bars
The bars, the bars
Of the cage
We shall be able to break the bars
The bars, the bars
 

White is the snow

By dint of facing each other
Of misunderstanding, of lack of love,
Really, our time is running out
Really, our time is running out
 
Then, as the harm is done,
As the gap widens, the bed is unmade
They look at each other, they remain silent
They look at each other, they remain silent
 
The man leans his body forwards
Like a dead trunk, he holds out his branches
But the cold has come, white is the snow
But the cold has come, white is the snow
The cold has come, white is the snow
 
He is leaving tomorrow, he sets off again
All along his way, each step will be painful
To grow away from you, whatever the cost
To grow away from you, whatever the cost
 
The man leans his body... (refrain)
 
You leave us for that country
Where as you say people are beautiful
What is it you desire other than you already have
What is it you desire other than you already have
 
The man leans his body... (refrain)
 

The mask on the wall

He has sold everything, given everything
In the deserted house
You can hear the echo of his steps
Only one light is left on
Only one light...
 
There's also a mask on the wall
It gives you the creeps
It gives you the creeps
There's also a mask on the wall
It never says a word
It never says a word
No, it never says a word
It never says a word
 
He has sold everything, given everything
Just kept his necklace
That comes from India
The last page of his notebook
You can't read it, it's all crossed off
You can't read it...
 
There is also a mask on the wall
It gives you the creeps
It gives you the creeps
There's also a mask on the wall
It never says a word
It never says a word
No, it never says a word
It never says a word
 
When he went off
He didn't know, didn't know
That you never come back
You never come back..
 
He has given everything, sold everything
Only one photo is left hanging
With naked women and children
It's over there they met
It's over there they...
 
There's also a mask on the wall
It gives you the creeps
It gives you the creeps
There's also a mask on the wall
It never says a word
It never says a word
It will never say a word
It will never say a word
 
When he went off
He didn't know, didn't know
That you never come back
You never come back
You never come back
You never come back
You never come back..
 

Deliverance

Day of wrath and doom impending
David's word with Sibyl's blending
Heaven and earth in ashes ending
Oh, what fear...
 

Letter of a soldier

I've waited for a letter
that hasn't reach my hands, no
and going on with the wind
and dreaming with the rain.
 
Remember that pretty face,
so far away from me
and dreaming I wake up
a morning, so close to you.
 
Oh, it's been already three months,
with no knowledge of your love,
praying for two months and not knowing what to do
because when you left you said:
'I'll wait for you''.
 
Remember that pretty face,
so far away from me
and going on while everything it's fine
screaming ''forget her''
 
Oh, they will hug you too,
jelousy, why?
to the new love that will come, you'll swear
the same intense love that yesterday
you swore to me.
 
Remember that pretty face,
so far away from me
and going on while everything it's fine
screaming ''forget her''
''forget her'', ''forget her''.
 
Just learning.
