Don't Call Me

Don’t call me
Don’t look for me
Don’t write me
 
Today you’re no longer here
I could decipher
You were the lie
I was your truth
I endangered myself to look for
It hurt me to find out
All the pieces
You knew how to play
 
What sorrow to accept
That I surrendered to you without thinking
My days, my body, and my fixations
And it hurts me to confront
What the rest will think
The wound
That I show each day
 
Don’t call me
Don’t look for me
Don’t write me
I don’t want to surrender myself
To your kisses
The charms
Your caresses
I don’t want to surrender myself, no
 
I am going to eliminate
Trace, chemistry
Reasons that visit
Making me doubt
 
What sorrow to accept
That I surrendered to you without thinking
My days, my body, and my fixations
And it hurts me to confront
What the rest will think
The wound
That I show each day
 
Don’t call me
Don’t look for me
Don’t write me
I don’t want to surrender myself
To your kisses
The charms
Your caresses
I don’t want to surrender myself, no
 
To your pain your malice
That fictitious look
To the passion, your lair, and your warmth
 
Don’t call me
Don’t look for me
Don’t write me
I don’t want to surrender myself, no
 
I don’t want to look at you
I’m afraid to find you
I cannot hide it front you
You know to decipher me
Barriers you cross
You seduce, I lose strength
 
Don’t call me
Don’t look for me
Don’t write me
I don’t want to surrender myself
To your kisses
The charms
Your caresses
I don’t want to surrender myself, no
 
To your pain, your malice
That fictitious look
To the passion, your lair, and your warmth
 
And don’t call me
Don’t look for me
Don’t write me
I don’t want to surrender myself, no

To sit or to dance

It is a story of a boy
Who couldn't stop dancing, oh oh oh
He looked around him
Everyone was sitting, oh oh oh
His parents had already warned him
That one shouldn't spend the nights at the discos

Everyone was sitting
That's really boring

Olyan, mint te

Már régóta keresek
Pontosan olyat, mint te
A világot körös-körül járva
Rád várok, hogy megjelenj
 
Olyan, mint te
Megér mindent, mert
Olyan, mint te
Elégedetté tesz
Pontosan olyan, mint te
 
Nehéz utakon jövök-megyek
Régóta keresek pontosan olyat, mint te
Rendre cipelem a terhemet
Várva a megvilágító fényre
 
Olyan, mint te
Megér mindent, mert
Olyan, mint te
Elégedetté tesz
Pontosan olyan, mint te
 
Lélek kutatást végeztem
Hogy hol vagy, megtudjam
Fel-le autoztam az úton
Idegen országokban
 
Olyan, mint te
Megér mindent, mert
Olyan, mint te
Elégedetté tesz
Pontosan olyan, mint te
 
A világot bejártam
Különféle dobok ütemére lépve
De csak nemrég jöttem rá arra
Bébi, a legjobb csak most jön el
 
Olyan, mint te
Megér mindent, mert
Olyan, mint te
Elégedetté tesz
Pontosan olyan, mint te
 
Pontosan olyan, mint te
Pontosan olyan, mint te
A legjobb csak most jön el
A legjobb csak most jön el
 
Pontosan olyan, mint te

Szerelmes tini

Azt érezteted velem, mintha egy szerelmes tini lennék
Azt érezteted velem, mintha egy szerelmes tini lennék
 
Királynőnek hívsz
A szakadt farmeredben vagy
És épp betettél egy szerelmes számot
Szívek a szememben
Eper égbolt
Cigi illatod van
De az idő csak telik
 
Azt érezteted velem, mintha egy szerelmes tini lennék
Azt érezteted velem mintha örökké fiatal lennék
És nem nem akarok, senki mást
Nem nem akarok, senki mást
Azt érezteted velem, mintha egy szerelmes tini lennék
Szóval ne hagyj el
(Azt érezteted velem, mintha egy szerelmes tini lennék)
Ne hagyj el
(Azt érezteted velem, mintha egy szerelmes tini lennék)
 
A város pletykája
Vettél nekem egy köntöst
Azt mondtad lefeküdtél velem tegnap
Volt egy álmom
Hogy nem vagy ilyen gonosz
De én jobban szeretem ha mérges vagy
De az idő csak telik
 
Azt érezteted velem, mintha egy szerelmes tini lennék
Azt érezteted velem mintha örökké fiatal lennék
És nem nem akarok, senki mást
Nem nem akarok, senki mást
Azt érezteted velem mintha egy szerelmes tini lennék
Szóval ne hagyj el
Ne hagyj el
Ne hagyj el
Ne hagyj el
Ne hagyj el
Ne hagyj el
 
Amikor a közelemben vagy
Mikor a közelemben vagy
Közelemben vagy
Akkor mindig énekelek
Az idő meg csak telik
 
Azt érezteted velem, mintha egy szerelmes tini lennék
Azt érezteted velem mintha örökké fiatal lennék
Azt érezteted velem mintha örökké fiatal lennék
Nem nem akarok mást
Nem, nem akarok mást
Azt érezteted velem, mintha egy szerelmes tini lennék
Szóval ne hagyj el
(Azt érezteted velem mintha egy szerelmes tini lennék)
Ne engedj el
(Azt érezteted velem, mintha egy szerelmes tini lennék)
Szóval ne hagyj el

Fogoly

Fogoly, fogoly, rabul ejtve
Nem tudlak kiverni a fejemből, a fejemből
Isten tudja, milliószor próbálkoztam, próbálkoztam
Miért nem tudsz, miért nem tudsz csak elengedni?
 
Bekattantam, a kezem bekötözve
Az arcod a plafonon, álmodozom
Ó, nem tudom irányítani, nem tudom irányítani (nem tudom irányítani)
Próbálom városi fényekkel helyettesíteni
Soha nem szabadulok ki, szükségem van az izgalomra
Ó, nem tudom irányítani, nem tudom irányítani (irányítani, ó)
 
Csak tovább nehezíted a tartózkodásomat
De még nem menekülhetek el
Tudnom kell, miért nem tudsz, miért nem tudsz elengedni?
 
Fogoly, fogoly, rabul ejtve
Nem tudlak kiverni a fejemből, a fejemből

Fogoly, fogoly, rabul ejtve
Nem tudlak kiverni a fejemből, a fejemből
Isten tudja, milliószor próbálkoztam, próbálkoztam
Miért nem tudsz, miért nem tudsz csak elengedni?
 
Megízleltem a Mennyországot, most már nem tudok nélküle élni
Nem tudlak elfelejteni, amikor a szerelmed a leghangosabb
Ó, nem tudom irányítani, nem tudom irányítani (irányítani, ó)
 
Csak tovább nehezíted a tartózkodásomat (Ó, én)
De még nem menekülhetek el
Tudnom kell, miért nem tudsz, miért nem tudsz elengedni?

Concentration

Versions: #1
It may be that I will never you again
And that you no longer
No longer know what's happening with you
And me
 
No, no I can't take you out no
Of my mind and of everything that reminds me of your face
I don't want to think about going to look for you at your house
 
You will always be deep deep within me
And I want to take you out to not be like this
Since you left, I feel that I lost something of myself
I think
You will always be deep deep within me
And I want to take you out to not be like this
Since you left, I feel that I lost something of myself
 
It's sad to suddenly see your Myspace
And see that I am no longer in your top
And to see the photos that I also took
Tell me what is it that I have to do
Well I can't anymore, anymore, try living like this
 
You will always be deep deep within me
And I want to take you out to not be like this
Since you left, I feel that I lost something of myself
I think
You will always be deep deep within me
And I want to take you out to not be like this
Since you left, I feel that I lost something of myself
 
And you don't want to leave this place
You don't know how much it costs me to live like this, always thinking about you and me, thinking
 
You will always be deep deep within me
And I want to take you out to not be like this
Since you left, I feel that I lost something of myself
I think
You will always be deep deep within me
And I want to take you out to not be like this
Since you left, I feel that I lost something of myself

Poison

I wish I meet the biggest hope, glistens than other which
I want to see a desire, glistens than anyone else
I love, and want to understand him more than anyone else
...more, more than anyone else...
 
I have no need for worthless things - anything ordinary and boring
What meaning is there to words that will neither be deadly poison nor cure?
I don’t care if nobody understands me
It’ll only take one second for the world of our [beliefs] to fall apart, after all
 
I [believe] that hope will overcome despair and shine
And will offer my pulsating heart
For the sake of that brilliance, I'll tear apart my chest
Until the very last drop trickles down and wets my lips
 
Ordinary and boring people are the majority, because the world is filled with weaklings
You'll only be able to make a giant killing once you stand before the abyss of despair
There's no way for everyone to soar
Because the world of our [beliefs] is so cruel, and takes but a second to change
 
Believing that hope will overcome despair and shine
Will you show no hesitation when drinking the poison poured into that glass
Or will you abandon it at the end of much indecision?
I am merely watching over you, to whom the last choice is given
 
The worst incident in the history of mankind has left this piece of land devoid of life, but the seeds are budding again
The sprouts of happiness should be able to blossom with much vibrance and strength...
 
I [believe] that hope will overcome despair and shine
And will offer my pulsating heart
For the sake of that brilliance, I'll tear apart my chest
Until the very last drop courses through my body and overwhelms me
 
I wish I meet the biggest hope, glistens than other which
I want to see a desire, glistens than anyone else
I love, and want to understand him more than anyone else
...more, more than anyone else...

(I was not the only one there)
That his wife is not crazy, nor a thief, a drinker or careless’
(I was not the only one there)

a drinker or careless’

(I was not the only one there)
He slapped Comadre Diana with the back of his hands, and she fell under the table’

but that who spills it will have to catch it
even if it is in Prego Ribeira.’

(I was not the only one there)
‘I’m the daughter to Archangel Michael’
(I was not the only one there)
‘The men who suppresses me is the like satan in hell’
(I was not the only one there)
He said ‘Christ woman, what’s batuku after all’
(I was not the only one there)
I told him ‘if you listen, you will know’
(I was not the only one there)
‘Batuku is sentiment and happiness, is peace and love,
is solidarity, is sending a message, Batuku is the ‘’good live’’,
it's everything we feel inside of us’
(I was not the only one there)
 
Oh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah
I hope you can change
 
Ohh Compadre
(I hope you can change)
Why you're doing me like that
(I hope you can change)
Why are you treating me badly?
(I hope you can change)
Why you only think about war
(I hope you can change)
He made the world, and made it big so we can all fit in it
(I hope you can change)
The world have a head and a feet (it is perfect)
(I hope you can change)
The world have half and middle
(I hope you can change)
The world have a road and a route
(I hope you can change)
You tell me the way
(I hope you can change)
He (God) send us his white Lamb with long wool
and someone already sheared him
(I hope you can change)
That’s why it was killed (possibly meaning Jesus)
(I hope you can change)
 
[Goes to explain that the world is not in harmony anymore because of how people act. She talks in detail about her crops not being abundant and her chicks being killed by birds of prey]
 
Oh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah

It wasn’t only me (that was there)
It wasn’t only me (that was there)
 
I went up the hill
I came down the hill
I cross all of this, it is no big deal
 
It wasn’t only me (that was there)
It wasn’t only me (that was there)
It wasn’t only me (that was there)
It wasn’t only me (that was there)
It wasn’t only me (that was there)

The old house close to the fountain

The old house next to the fountain,
Overgrown by the vine
And cobweb-ridden,
Used to smell of fruit-jam,
Untidiness
And of darkness,
Autumn,
Childhood,
Eternity.
Around/ it, there were just
Silence
And wasps
And also some bird's nests
We used to go angling
For crayfish together with
Mr the priest
We would swim stark naked ,muddy,
With all the little girls
And the ducklings
The old house, near the council-flats
Has become a factory
And a supermarket
And the trees have vanished
And all smells sulphurised hydrogen
Petrol
and War
Society
it's not so Bad
It's just normal
Progress, It's called.

Szerelmes levelek

Szerelmes levelek
Egyenesen a szívedből
Oly közel hoznak minket
Miközben távol vagyunk.
 
Nem vagyok egyedül az éjszakában
Mikor is enyém lehet az összes szeretet
amit írásba foglaltál
Minden sorát megjegyzem
És nevedet csókolom,
Az aláírásodon
És drágám újra és
Újra olvasom
Elejétől a végéig
Az egyenesen a szívedből jövő
Szerelmes leveleket
 
Minden sorát megjegyzem
És nevedet csókolom,
Az aláírásodon
És drágám újra és
Újra olvasom
Elejétől a végéig
Az egyenesen a szívedből jövő
Szerelmes leveleket

The Baddest Kid In Prison

I cheated on the test
And the dreams all vanished
A prisoner in my school
I wasted my life
 
I took the road of the darkness
And wore the clothes of strife
I forgot all my manners
And I wasted my life
 
I used to love peace
Then I knew vengeance
I cheated and stole
And I wasted my life
 
They think that prison
Is the penalty for the crime
Prison is cruel
It showed me tragedies
I know my faults
And I wasted my life

She forgot me

She forgot me, forgot, forgot, forgot
The love in me is killed, killed, la, la
It has been frozen in my chest for so long, frozen, frozen
Love is dangerous power!
She forgot me, forgot, forgot, forgot
The love in me is killed, killed, la, la
It has been frozen in my chest for so long, frozen, frozen
Love is dangerous power!
She forgot our, our, our, our summer
She forgot, how we walked until dawn with her
I'm inhaling nicotine and it's like sweet scent
And our endorphins won't find the way back
We flew with you above the clouds
I thought so, but you weren't there
I was against, to such an alignment
You left, leaving only the sky to us
- Ey! I'm tired of yelling at you already
But you don't hear me and your number
The phone, it's like, you didn't hear
And now you're my ex
Replaced me, me my smart girl
Mine isn't around, I replaced you with poison
Ey! Replaced, forgot, ey!
My baby's cold, ey!
Replaced, forgot, ey!
My baby
She forgot me, forgot, forgot, forgot
The love in me is killed, killed, la, la
It has been frozen in my chest for so long, frozen, frozen
Love is dangerous power!
She forgot me, forgot, forgot, forgot
The love in me is killed, killed, la, la
It has been frozen in my chest for so long, frozen, frozen
Love is dangerous power!
Let go, or still be mine
I'm alone, or we're together again
I'm flying somewhere above the sky
Like cigarette smoke
Flashbacks crushes the past again
Where's this poison, but you can't poison me
I forgot you, loved you
But time's killing us here
Give me strength, let go
I'm more used to being without you, I'm alone
But your scent couldn't leave
I'm remembering, I'm drowning
In an apartment, where you aren't
My baby
She forgot me, forgot, forgot, forgot
The love in me is killed, killed, la, la
It has been frozen in my chest for so long, frozen, frozen
Love is dangerous power!
She forgot me, forgot, forgot, forgot
The love in me is killed, killed, la, la
It has been frozen in my chest for so long, frozen, frozen
Love is dangerous power!
She forgot me, forgot, forgot, forgot
The love in me is killed, killed, la, la
It has been frozen in my chest for so long, frozen, frozen
Love is dangerous power!
She forgot me, forgot, forgot, forgot
The love in me is killed, killed, la, la
It has been frozen in my chest for so long, frozen, frozen
Love is dangerous power...

Like A Dream

Do you remember?
Moments that were more awkward Because we were so comfortable with each other
Even when we were joking around
You looked at me with serious eyes
 
You still act indifferent and honest
And I like that
 
You’re the only one who makes me smile
Without knowing
 
It’s like a dream
Being with you
Because it was you
My memories are so special
 
Several times a day
I remember like it’s yesterday
I hope this lasts forever
You and me
 
I guess it was good, I keep laughing
I can’t stop
You’re shyly smiling
Come one step closer to me
 
Can I love you?
I’ll go closer to you
 
It’s like a dream
Being with you
Because it was you
My memories are so special
 
Several times a day
I remember like it’s yesterday
I hope this lasts forever
You and me
 
I can’t believe it
Now I know the reason that I met you
 
It’s like a dream
All of my moments
Are filled with you
All of those moments
 
Because it’s you, I can smile
So I can lean on you and rest
I hope it’s you each moment
You and me

The Yellow House

I won't come back to the yellow house
I'm far from it already
Far from there, far from there
You'll won't see me at the yellow house anymore
I got lost
The last time, the last time
 
I won't come back to the yellow house
The windows are shut
You'll won't see me at the yellow house anymore
I've changed my star

The Bison

Mountainous, worn down, indecipherable,
flaming red as an ember that goes out,
it walks burly and slowly in the vague
solitude of its untiring wilderness.
 
It awakes with its equipped nape.
In this old bull with sleep rage,
I see the Indian men from the West
and the lost men from Altamira.
 
Then I think that human time, whose
spectral mirror is memory, ignores it.
Time cannot reach it, nor can the history
 
of its passage, so changeable and futile.
Timeless, numberless and nil
is the first and final bison.

The Prisoner

I envy you, little sparrow
You who come a few times to visit me
Perched on one of the bars
From that tiny skylight looking so sad
 
When you don't come
I see a corner of sky, granted to me in favor
But I wait for you every time
Thinking that now you know when it's time
 
I’m a prisoner
and Mom is dying.
Forgive me, Mom
to hurt you so much.
 
I can't make a move
To kiss her one last time
I don't care about the rest
'Cause if she dies, it's because of me
 
She who never fell asleep
Without imploring Madonna, and the Saints
She who had given so much
So we can say later, he's a very good man
 
I’m a prisoner
and Mom is dying.
Forgive me, Mom
to hurt you so much.
 
I’m a prisoner
and Mom is dying.
Forgive me, Mom
Forgive me

Börtön szex

Sokáig tartott visszaemlékezni arra ami történt.
Olyan fiatal és szűzies voltam akkor,
Tudod, hogy fáj nekem,
De lélegzem, szóval azt hiszem, még élek.
Még ha úgy is tűnik, hogy a jelek mást mutatnak.
Kezeim megkötözve, fejem lehajtva, szemeim becsukva,
félig becsukva, másik nyitva.
 
Tedd azt másokkal, amit velem tettek,
Tedd azt másokkal amit veled tettek.
 
Próbálok a felszínen maradni,
aludnom kellene egy kicsit.
Bárányom és mártírom, olyan aranyosan nézel ki.
Nem akarsz, nem akarsz egy kicsit közelebb jönni,
elég közel, hogy érezhessem az illatod.
Szükségem van rád, hogy érezzem ezt,
Nem bírom ki túl sokáig.
Szabadon engedve ebben a bűnös élvezetben.
Egyetlen édes pillanatért teljes vagyok.
 
Tedd azt másokkal, amit velem tettek,
Tedd azt másokkal amit veled tettek.
 
Lélegzel, szóval azt hiszem, még élsz.
Még ha úgy is tűnik, hogy a jelek mást mutatnak.
Nem akarsz, nem akarsz egy kicsit közelebb jönni,
elég közel, hogy érezhetném az illatod.
Szükségem van rád, hogy érezzem ezt.
Szükségem van erre, hogy teljessé tegyen.
Szabadon engedve ebben a bűnös élvezetben.
Én vagyok a tanúd, hogy a hús-vér megbízható tud lenni
Csak egyedül ez a szent dolog tud szellemi békét adni nekem.
 
Kezeid megkötözve,
fejed lehajtva,
szemeid becsukva.
Olyan aranyosan nézel ki most.
 
Találtam még némi józanságot ebben a sz*rban, vérben, és g**iben, ami a kezeimen van.
 
Teljes, egész körben érkeztem.
 
Bárányom és mártírom, ennek hamarosan vége lesz.
Olyan aranyosan nézel ki.
Olyan aranyosan nézel ki most.

Put Your Head On My Shoulder

Put your head on my shoulder
Come, we'll dance a slow one
The dance [will] be a game for two
Come, close your eyes
 
You breathe on me
Nothing exists except you
I whisper sweet words
It's only us
 
Let's dance, think of nothing else
Tomorrow, that's too far away
Let's dance like this
You on me
All else doesn't matter
 
Put your head on my shoulder
Say no more, we take off
You'll see how fine we'll feel
Above the ordinary
 
I feel your skin which shudders
I long to dance the whole night
This song which is ours
Oh! Put your head on my shoulder

The Bison Hunt

The bison hunt ends.
The wind that is missing ends, my son.
It is time for me to recall long fables that are good for your children—
in the evening, around the fire, together again—
and from the hill that guards the south because, from there,
the smoke of the city could rise.
 
As far as you can see, you can hunt—
but not a day's journey further.
Respect the white man when you meet him on the same road—
but don't fear him and never trust him.
Teach your people the paths of courage, along with piety.
Do not stop until your heart cannot go on.
 
And, with us, the evening hour is sweet—
and the wise man never flees from it.
I see new hunting, new pastures, and new wars for freedom.
Eternity does not end with me—
but rather on the smile of the warrior when he leaves what he loved here,
knowing that it is right that this is how it ended.
 
The bison hunt ends.
The breath that is missing ends, my son.
It is time for me to recall long fables that are good for your children—
in the evening, around the fire, together again—
and from the hill that guards the south because, from there,
the smoke of the city could rise.

Poison

I just happened to walk with you behind me
Because of you who is sorry
I try to hold back the tears I’d hate you to see
I stood up first
I knew today would come
The day our love ends
For us that we went wrong, the sky certainly
Has no forgiveness
 
Tell her that I’m sorry
Because I had her happiness
 
Don’t leave this kind of pain anymore
I was the only one
Deceiving everyone while loving
Was it harder for you?
 
Now don’t look for me in your dreams
I’m not in you (a part of you) anymore
Just forget about me and go back
To her embrace
 
The memory of you crying in my arms too
Was a performance just for me?
I was your only love
I used to believe those words
 
Your lovely smile and your warm gaze
Now I’ll share them with her
 
Don’t leave this kind of pain anymore
I was the only one
Deceiving everyone while loving
Was it harder for you?
 
Now don’t look for me in your dreams
I’m not in you (a part of you) anymore
Just forget about me and go back
To her embrace

Secret love

Dance with me
Dance with me
Night covers us like a sheet
Nobody will see you here,
entrapped in my arms.
 
Play with me
Play with me
I'm the mouse, you're the cat.
Do whatever you please with me.
As the song goes, it'll be alright1
 
And what if secret love
was indeed true love?
No living witnesses,
only trees and wind.
 
When hidden love(rs)
can't get close, doesn't that
make vows written in chalk
even truer?2
 
And what if secret love
was indeed true love?
No living witnesses,
only trees and wind.
 
Dance with me
Dance with me
What we're doing together is neither the business
of narrow-minded persons3 or the law
This fight is ours alone4
 
Carry me away
Carry me away
Just like in the delta of a river,
what is me
and what is you
mix up but don't unite5
 
And what if secret love
was indeed true love?
No living witnesses,
only trees and wind.
 
When hidden love(rs)
can't get close, doesn't that
make vows written in chalk
even truer?
 
And what if secret love...
 
When hidden love(rs)
can't get close, doesn't that
make vows written in chalk
even truer?
 
And what if secret love
was indeed true love?
No living witnesses,
only trees and wind.
 
  • 1. that's a rather anachronic pun. 'ça ira' means 'it'll be alright' in modern French, but the he refers to rather says 'That will happen for sure, all the aristocrats will be hung' Regular smile
  • 2. that's arguably nice-looking gibberish in French too
  • 3. 'bien-pensant' is also a trendy modern term, it really sounds out of place in a 18th century story
  • 4. what fight? Are they making love or war?
  • 5. another bit of abstruse French

You think of her

You think of her
better1 than of the comeback of the swallows
You think of her
like a priest to his parish
You think of her
like a dog in front of its bowl.
You think of her
 
Speak no more.
I recall her yesterday morning
Speak no more,
or beauty is worthless2
Speak no more.
I can hear horses in the dist3
Speak no more.
 
She will make you
swear Judas' oath.
She will carry you
all around the world in her arms.
She will leave you
on the corner of a bed, your heart spread-eagled4.
She will forget about you.
 
Speak no more.
Love is killing me in this garden.
Speak no more.
Living without her is a grief.
Speak no more.
Dying every day
is my fate.
Speak no more.

  • 1. sounds odd in French too
  • 2. ??? as if speaking would make beauty worthless ???
  • 3. ...ance. 'loin' is an adjective meaning 'far'. Correct French would use the noun 'lointain' (far distance)
  • 4. 'en croix' is usually said of the arms forming a cross with the body, equivalent to the spread-eagle posture. It could also evoke a crucified heart, with an effort of imagination

Terror, citizen

Terror1, citizen
I can see it dance in your hands
I can feel it clearly, going along
with all these heads in your basket.
 
Terror, citizen,
I can see it coming tomorrow,
along with the taste of others' blood.
Who's next? Who's to blame?
 
Terror, citizen,
from the Vendée2 to Saint Germain3
I can see it being thrown like a stone
by Robespierre's hand.
 
Terror
Terror
Terror, citizen
 
Terror, citizen
I stand alongside it every morning,
in the eyes of the temple child4
they locked up to make an example.
 
Terror, citizen,
that's where it comes from. It came a long way.
It can put me on its list,
even though I'm no royalist.
 
Terror, citizen,
from the Montagnards to the Girondins5,
torn apart by a convention
that is no longer the revolution.
 
Terror
Terror
Terror, citizen
 
Oh, oh, Terror
Terror
Terror,
it's such an error, citizen.
 
Oh, oh, Terror
Terror
Terror,
it's such an error, citizen.
 
Terror is such an error, citizen.
 
  • 1. 'la Terreur' is the name of a period after French revolution when many members of the nobility and alleged royalists were summarily executed, using the infamous guillotine
  • 2. a region of France where a bloody civil war erupted after the revolution
  • 3. I don't recall the city played any significant role during the revolution. Maybe an allusion to the ?
  • 4. It's about Louis XVII, infant heir to the throne, detained in the Temple prison where he would die in 1795
  • 5. the two main political factions in the newly formed parliament which was called the 'convention'. Many of its members would meet their end to the guillotine during the ferocious political struggles that followed the revolution

France

With its villages and castles,
its grey houses by the waterside,
I know very well what people do there1.
 
With its fears and angers,
its revolutionary ideas,
I know it better than you'd think.
 
With its belfries and churches
and customs. Whatever they say,
it still harbours a desire for insolence2
 
Though I might have offended it at some point,
it is like an heartache
that makes me quietly cry.
 
France, France
is like the shadow of a cross under Provence's sky.
France
is keeping faith while all bets are off3.
 
With its romantic gardens4,
its fishing harbours on the Atlantic,
I know its diversity5.
 
With all its craftsman trades,
stonecutters or peasants,
it's been moving forth for 2000 years.
 
With its immortal provinces,
the cherished child of the Sun King6
I know his descendants well.
 
With its words of liberty,
equality, fraternity
which never occurred to me.
 
France, France
is to believe until the end, until the last chance.
France
is to keep our childhood memories inside of us7
 
France, France,
it remains my country, from yesterday to today.
France,
with all its colours, remains in my heart.
 
  • 1. lit. 'the way they dance there', but the idea is rather 'what's going on there'
  • 2. that sounds pretty bad in French too, like corporate or media waffle
  • 3. more precisely: when the result is inevitable
  • 4. actually the 'romantic' movement didn't exist at the time, it was an invention of the triumphant bourgeois social class that would bloom in the mid-19th century Regular smile
  • 5. 'différence' is a trendy politically correct word for 'diversity'
  • 6. a common nickname for Louis XIV, a most prestigious king of France who ruled with great pomp for 70 years until early 18th century
  • 7. what a lot of hot air...

Disenchantment

We dreamed so much of being free,
of being free
before we became rebels.
 
We dreamed so much of being immobile1,
of being immobile
before we became emigrants.
 
We all loved the same France,
the same childhood,
before we made mistakes.
 
It wavers at the end of courage
on the flag of the revolutions.
It has made nobody dream,
the disenchantment.
It dwells in the hearts of men,
as the bereavement of their imagination.
It spared no one,
the disenchantment.
 
We always dreamed of always following
of always following
a wind of liberty.
 
We dreamed so much of writing the book
of writing the book
of a forgotten story.
 
We fought
for offences,
for differences2
that brought us closer.
 
It wavers at the end of courage
on the flag of the revolutions.
It has made nobody dream,
the disenchantment.
It dwells in the hearts of men,
as the bereavement of their imagination.
It spared no one,
the disenchantment.
 
This dagger in the heart
that dares not speak its name3
and kills happiness
by saying 'no' to you.
 
It wavers at the end of courage
on the flag of the revolutions.
It has made nobody dream,
the disenchantment.
It dwells in the hearts of men,
as the bereavement of their imagination.
It spared no one,
the disenchantment. (x3)
 
  • 1. being immobile is not really something people dream of, for all I know. No idea what he means by that
  • 2. again this PC synonym of 'diversity'. It doesn't really mean anything here
  • 3. another cliché for 'hidden' or 'covert' or 'deceptive' that has no real meaning here

Marie-Antoinette

She holds the last king of France
stubbornly1 to her heart2.
She says again how much she loves him,
and that he has to survive her absence
and harbour no thought of revenge.
And her guards already drag her away.
 
She would want to leave it up to God,
but where is God right now?
She says: 'you can cut my hair,
but please take care of my child'
 
She walks obediently,
remembering the dance steps
in her queenly finery.
She retained that elegance
that would grant the court of France
its European insolence.
 
She hears the shouts of the crowd
and the insults of the innocents3
She hears the drums rolling
and the belfry of St Vincent.
 
Soldiers, hats off.
The queen walks to the scaffold.
Soldiers, this is one death too many.
Which republic is without its faults?
 
She thinks of the former king of France,
of her nice childhood years
in an Austrian province.
And, as the cart comes forth,
she takes her allotted place
next to a Gypsy girl4
 
She would want to leave it up to God,
but God is never where He should be.
She refuses to lower her eyes
in front of the executioner's hood5.
 
Soldiers, hats off.
The queen walks to the scaffold.
Soldiers, this is one death too many.
Which republic is without its faults?
 
She no longer knows what she's thinking about.
Everything changes dramatically6 as something obvious7
She seems to hear the noise of chains,
and in a silent whisper,
deep inside everyone's consciousnesses
everybody wonders: 'why the queen?'8
 
  • 1. lit. 'insistently', but that doesn't really make sense in French either
  • 2. it's about Louis XVII, a 8 years old child who would eventually die in prison two years later.
  • 3. ??? sounds like 'innocent' is meant as 'feeble-minded' here. Or maybe the people that are not to blame for her execution?
  • 4. I suppose that's a wink to Esmeralda, though I wonder what Notre-Dame de Paris has to do with the French revolution. In reality she was accompanied by a priest.
  • 5. this is purely apocryphal. As the story goes, she inadvertently stepped on the executioner's toes and her last words were 'I beg your pardon, Mister. I did not do it on purpose'
  • 6. the verb also means 'topple over'. It's obviously a kind of play on both meanings. Not a very good one, in my opinion.
  • 7. I don't know what they mean by that
  • 8. Though the crowd indeed remained silent after her death, Marie-Antoinette was a symbol of all that was wrong with the nobility. Living in an indecent luxury, oblivious to the needs of her people, playing the shepherdess with her courtesans while children starved in the streets around her palace. I very doubt many commoners questioned the reasons for her execution.

Cruel Heart

Tell me, what is your heart made of?
Maybe it is chilli sauce maker grinding stone,
the more I love you,
the more you still persist in denying me your affection.
 
Oh, my little sweetheart*
oh, my little lovely sweetheart,
when I ask you a favour
please, never ever dare to give me a pinch!
 
It is impossible to forget you, oh my sweetheart!
I love you more and more with each passing day!
 
Dear sweetheart,
starry-eyed little lovely girl,
from now on, I will make you forget
your erstwhile lover (boyfriend)!

The season

See those frontiers all around
See how speeches at night
And dim lights that appeared
In the distance
Seem to guide us
Seem to be within reach
Boundaries against which we brush
Rivers along which we wander
 
Don't be too afraid
The season is nice
I'll smother you with pearls
Don't be too afraid
The season is nice
I'll cover you with flowers
 
See how currents carry me off
Did they swear to want me dead
Dangers we faced since dawn
And the roads we've been walking
 
Cliffs to climb
And roaring waves
In our footsteps
Korea is under the rain
 
Don't be too afraid
The season is nice
I'll smother you with pearls
Don't be too afraid
The season is nice
I'll cover you with flowers
 
And finally our archipelago
And your season is back again
I know time goes by
I never thought I wouldn't be back
 
Don't be too afraid
The season is nice
I'll smother you with pearls
Don't be too afraid
The season is nice
I'll cover you with flowers

Rab

[1.versszak]
Sosem mehetek vissza
A lelkem nem lel békére
Próbáltam elveszteni az árnyékomat
Még mindig hordozza a múltamat
 
Sosem vagyok egyedül
Ezek a démonok befészkelték magukat
Mélyen a törött testem belsejében
Azt hiszem, elvesztettem az irányítást
 
[Elő-kórus]
A szívem, a fejem, harcolnak egymással
Elvesztem a fogást, csúszok
Kereszttűzbe kerültem
Próbáltam megmenteni magamat
 
[Kórus]
Elfutok az arc elől, akit látok
Hogy visszabámul rám
Futok, de mindig is saját magam rabja leszek
 
[2. versszak]
Tovább imádkozok a változásért
Szóval miért vagyok még mindig ugyanaz
Az emberek azt mondják, jobban nézek ki
De ők nem érzik a fájdalmamat
 
[Elő-kórus]
A szívem, a fejem, harcolnak egymással
Elvesztem a fogást, csúszok
Kereszttűzbe kerültem
Próbáltam megmenteni magamat
 
[Kórus]
Elfutok az arc elől, akit látok
Hogy visszabámul rám
Futok, de mindig is saját magam rabja leszek
 
[Átkötés]
Saját magam rabja
Saját magam rabja
Egy rab, egy rab
 
[Kórus]
Elfutok az arc elől, akit látok
Hogy visszabámul rám
Futok, de mindig is saját magam rabja leszek

Szépasszony

Szépasszony sétál az utcán
Szépasszony, egy olyasvalaki, akit szívesen megismernék
Szépasszony, nem hiszek benned,
Nem vagy igazi
Senki nem tudna olyan jól kinézni, mint te
Irgalom!
 
Szépasszony, bocsáss meg,
Szépasszony, nem tudtam segíteni de megértem
Szépasszony, elragadóbb már nem is lehetnél
Magányos vagy akárcsak én
 
Szépasszony, várj egy pillanatig,
Szépasszony, mondj valamit,
Szépasszony, mosolyogj rám,
Szépasszony, igen, igen, igen,
Szépasszony, figyelj rám,
Szépasszony, mondd, hogy velem maradsz!
 
Szükségem van rád,
Gondoskodom rólad
Gyere velem, drágám,
Légy enyém ma éjjel!
 
Szépasszony, ne sétálj el,
Szépasszony, ne ríkass meg,
Szépasszony, ne hagyj itt!
Rendben
 
Ha már így kellett lennie, jól van
Azt hiszem, haza megyek, késő van
Lesz még holnap is éjszaka.
 
De várj, mit látok?
Visszafordul?
Igen,elindul felém,
O, oh
Szépasszony.

The Prisoner of the Tower

The prisoner of the tower
Was killed this morning,
Grandmother.
We will not go to Mass tomorrow.
He threw himself from the tower
While I was holding out my hands,
Grandmother.
It seemed to me that I was in sorrow.
 
If the king knew that, Isabelle,
Isabelle, if the king knew that,
In the lace dress,
You would never be allowed,
Isabelle, if the king knew that.
 
The prisoner of the tower
Was my only friend,
Grandmother.
We will not go to Mass today.
He was my only love,
The reason for my life,
Grandmother
And my youth is extinguished with him.
 
If the king knew that, Isabelle,
Isabelle, if the king knew that,
In the lace dress,
You would never be allowed,
Isabelle, if the king knew that.
 
The prisoner of the tower,
Each evening, waited for me,
Grandmother.
We will not go to Mass anymore, never.
It's a sin that love
And the world is poorly made,
Grandmother.
My lover, whom I loved, was killed.
 
If the king knew that, Isabelle,
Isabelle, if the king knew that,
In the lace dress,
You would never be allowed,
Isabelle, if the king knew that.
 
The prisoner of the tower
Will not have grave clothes
And nothing
Nothing but a black hole where the leaves are engulfed,
But me, I will go each day
Crying under the lime trees
And nothing,
Not even the king, will prevent my mourning.
 
If the king knew that, Isabelle,
He could only cry with you
Because he loved a beauty
Who was not for a king
And the beauty, Isabelle, was me...
