So Cold

Something's breaking inside me,
Didn't you hear it?
 
You're killing me
With this glance,
You're killing me
With this glance that has nothing,
Nothing for me.
 
You're killing me
With these lips,
You're killing me
With these lips that lack any
Thirst for me.
 
Why are you being so cold?
Why are you being so cold?
Didn't I give you all? (Nothing…)
Oh, well, I tried anything. (There's no thirst…)
 
Why are you being so cold?
Why are you being so cold?
Didn't I give you all? (There is)
Oh, well, I tried anything. (Nothing…)
 
You stay away, away,
You don't touch me anymore
And as silent as a stone,
Closed in your castle,
You're looking down on me
And something deep inside me
Is breaking apart, (Something's breaking deep inside me.)
Didn't you hear? (Something's breaking, didn't you hear?)
 
You're losing me…
 
Why are you being so cold?
Why are you being so cold?
Didn't I give you all? (Nothing…)
Oh, well, I tried anything. (There's no thirst…)
 
Why are you being so cold?
Why are you being so cold?
Didn't I give you all? (There is)
Oh, well, I tried anything. (Nothing…)
 
All around me appear
Faces in love.
With arms in love they hug
Bodies in love.
With a loud laughter I hide away
How lonely I am.
 
…So cold?
Why are you being so cold?
Didn't I give you all? (Nothing…)
Oh, well, I tried anything. (There's no thirst…)
 
Why are you being so cold?
Why are you being so cold?
Didn't I give you all? (There is)
Oh, well, I tried anything. (Nothing…)
 
…So cold? (You stay away…)
…So cold? (Don't you want me anymore?)
Nothing… (Didn't I give you all?)
There's no (I tried anything…)
Thirst for me.
 
There is nothing.

Quotas Aren't Handouts

There are a lot of thing they didn't teach you in school
Quotas aren't handouts!
Try being born black in a slum and you'll see
What happens with black and poor people doesn't appear on TV
Oppression, humiliation, prejudice
We know how it ends when it begins like this
From the time she was a little girl, running to help her parents
She watches the kids, cleans the house, a bunch of other stuff
Midday, she takes a bath and goes to school by foot
She doesn't have money for the bus
Her mom used it earlier to buy bread
And now that she's tired, she wants a ride on the bus
But since she's black and poor, the driver yells, 'no!'
And that's only the first door that closes
She doesn't have a bus, she's already tired, but she hurries up
She gets to school, another door closes
You're late! You won't go to history class
Wait, sit there, an hour's passed
Wait a little bit more and go to your second class
'And make sure you're not late again!' the principal says
She gets to the room, now sleep's knocking at her door
But she won't sleep, slowly she learns that
If the ticket is 3.80 and you have 3 in hand
She interrupts the professor and says 'You won't have bread then'
And the friends that laugh at her all day
Laugh more and humiliate her, what would you do?
She got tired of the humiliation and doesn't want school anymore
And on Christmas she cried because she didn't get a ball
Time passed and she grew
Now on the streets she's the black stinky-armpit girl
That straightens her hair to feel accepted
But it gets her nowhere, everyone rejects her
Now that she's grown, she really wants to study
She finishes school, textbooks, she still has entrance exams
And dry mouth, dry, no saliva
She's gonna pay the college, because black and poor doesn't go to USP
That's what the professor that taught at the school said
That they're all the same and that quotas are handouts
Tired of quotas and not burned out from college
She still gets up early and cleans three apartments downtown
Try being born black and poor in the community
You'll see how different the opportunities are
 
And don't you dare come to me saying that's playing the victim
Don't put the blame on me to cover your racism
And don't you dare come to me saying that's playing-, that's playing-
That's playing the victim!
 
They're enslaved nations
And murdered cultures
It's the voice that echoes the drum
Gather around, come here
You too can fight
And learn to respect
Because black people came to revolutionize
 
Don't let them silence our voice, no
Don't let them silence our voice, no
Don't let them silence our voice, no
Revolution!
Don't let them silence our voice, no
Don't let them silence our voice, no
Revolution!
 
Thousands of us are born every time one of us falls
Thousands of us are born every time one of us falls
Thousands of us are born every time one of us falls
Thousands of us are born every time one of us falls
And it's open chest, ghetto swordsman, nigga samurai!
it's open chest, ghetto swordsman, nigga
it's open chest, ghetto swordsman, nigga
it's open chest, ghetto swordsman, nigga
it's open chest, ghetto swordsman, nigga samurai!
it's open chest, ghetto swordsman, nigga
it's open chest, swordsman
it's open chest, ghetto swordsman, nigga
it's open chest, ghetto swordsman, nigga samurai!
 
Let's go to the corner where the watch stops
And in the silence our hearts open fire
We'll reign like Zumbi*, Dandara
Odara, Odara
 
Let's go to the corner where the watch stops
And in the silence our hearts open fire
Odara, Odara, hey!
 
Try being born black and poor in the community
You'll see how different the opportunities are
And don't you dare come to me saying that's playing the victim
Don't put the blame on me to cover your ra-ci-sm!
There are a lot of thing they didn't teach you in school
Quotas are handouts.
Quotas are handouts.
Quotas are handouts.
I said, quotas are handouts.
Quotas are handouts.
Quotas are handouts.
Quotas are handouts.
 
They're enslaved nations
And murdered cultures
It's the voice that echoes the drum
Gather around, come here
You too can fight
And learn to respect
Because black people came to revolutionize
 
Quotas are not handouts.
 

Towards the yonder of dreams

Versions: #2
Towards the ever far away, unending
Milky Way, let us sail
Raise the sail, gather winds,
Towards the yonder of dreams
 
Just looking up at the thousands of stars won't get your thoughts reaching anywhere
 
Right now straight, towards tomorrow, seize the future beyond imagination
Speed up, rise up, broaden your heart's map to higher than the sky without limits
 
Towards the ever far away, unending
Milky Way, let us sail
Raise the sail, gather winds,
Towards the yonder of dreams
 
On the small blue Earth, if you just keep waiting then no miracle is going to happen for sure
Without fear or doubts, open the door and fly out of this narrow world, more freely, to the outer space
If you draw your dreams then everything will start there
 
One day you'll surely shine
Go fly until the constellations
Go through the darkness, bathe in the light,
Restless as always
Towards the direction where the heart resounds
 
Towards the ever far away, unending
Milky Way, let us sail
Raise the sail, gather winds,
Towards the yonder of dreams
 
One day you'll surely shine
Go fly until the constellations
Go through the darkness, bathe in the light,
Restless as always
Towards the direction where the heart resounds
 

Don't come back now

I already have learned
to live without you
I have suffered all alone
what there was to suffer
you come to me
without certainty in your eyes
only with a shimmer
of someone who could stay or not
for love, my feelings
say yes to the heart
but the shadow of a doubt
says no, makes me say no
 
Chorus
 
Don't come back now
If it's to make me cry
Don't come back now
If it's for that pain to return
Don't come back now
If it's for forgetting someone here
Come back if it is for my sake
Don't come back now
 
Me without you
I became myself again
and I don't live anymore
amidst the ashes of a farewell
and you are coming back in the moment
that I forgot without forgetting you
but my and your silence
means, only means
 
Chorus
 
Don't come back now
If it's to make me cry
Don't come back now
If it's for that pain to return
Don't come back now
If it's for forgetting someone here
come back if it is for my sake
Don't come back now
 

Stories to lull adults to sleep

Mangueira, clean the dust from the basements
Oh, clear the way for the heroes of the shanties
From the brazilwood that makes a country of Lecis1, Jamelões2
They're green and pink3, the crowds
 
Mangueira, clean the dust from the basements
Oh, clear the way for the heroes of the shanties
From the brazilwood that makes a country of Lecis, Jamelões
They're green and pink, the crowds
 
Brazil, my friend4
Let me tell you
The story that history doesn't tell
The flip side of the same place
The struggle we find ourselves in
 
Brazil, my baby
Mangueira has arrived
With verses that the books have erased
Since 15005 there has been more invasion than exploration
There's inky blood, bruising
Behind the venerated heroes
Women, Tamoios6, Mulattos
I want a country that is not in the picture frame
 
Brazil, your name is Dandara7
And your face is Kiriri8
It didn't come from the sky
Nor from the hands of Isabel9
Liberty is a dragon of the waters of Aracati10
 
Hail the caboclos de julho11
Who were steel in the years of iron12
Brazil, it's time
To hear the Marias13, Mahins14, Marielles15, Malês16

Everything is still a little bit you

Don't stay today from the evening
and if this rain falls
my loneliness would be wet
I missed you a little bit today
I missed you a little bit today
I always walked with no purpose
My inside isn't a desert so that I was left outside
i have no lies, I have no will of it.
Time has tired me.
 
And still you, everything is still a little bit you
everything is still a little bit you
and that ship won't turn back, I got tired of waiting.
 
Now I am a summer day whose not bright
As if I am a little drunk
and a little no one
Which train was on your lane
I lost you that day
You were always a little bit like rain
A little bit rain...

Retarded Chick

[Sett]
Take me to a new world, a new level
Where people and animals share a bunk
Where you don't ride a horse, but the horse rides you
We don't eat chicken, because chicken are babies
There are no wars, diseases and gangs
You marry who you want to, people marry pandas
Pandas marry pidgeons, pidgeons wed snakes
Every day is a celebration, you drink every day
There are no exams, there sre no schools
No one knows how to read, but people love each other
There are no retarded posts on Facebook
Cause no one knows how to write, there's no primary school
You don't have to go to work, you play cards every day
All the people are muscled cause this is Sparta
There's no Monday, every day is Friday
Vlatka has no hit because the bullet does not exist1
 
[Refrain]
Take me to a world
Where all the people are overjoyed
Take me to the world
Where people aren't miserable
Take my hand
And take me to the land of love
Where unicorn and Pegasus
Wait on us on the entrance
 
[3ki Stil]
Take me to the world where all the people are together
Everyone is a rapper there and we're all one gang
There are only weddings, no one gets divorced
Funerals don't exist, only party bliss
No meat to eat, vegetable on the table
People love pigs like brothers
There's no poverty cause there's no money
No lung cancer cause no one smokes cigars
No one sick, there are no hospitals
No tears, no sweat cause there's no hard stool
There are no toalets either cause everyone poops flowers
Later you plant it, pick it and eat it
We are all of same sex and storks bring babies
And babies are a gift from an even better planet
There are no borders, no wars either
We all live on fields cause there are no cities, too
 
[Refrain]

Sirens

My heart is yearning,
I don’t care about the sound of money 1
Only a sailor can comfort me
Cause he is precocious as gold
 
Olè, pretty girls
You know by now
That only a sailor can comfort us
The one that glances through the waves
 
My heart is yearning,
I don’t care about the sound of money
Only a sailor can comfort me
Cause he is precocious as gold
 
My heart is yearning,

My lovely brave sailor

My heart's been pierced by Cupid
I despise glittering gold,
and nothing can console me
except my lovely brave sailor.
 
Come all you pretty maidens
no matter who you are,
you all that love a gallant sailor
who dwells in the seas.
 
My heart's been pierced by Cupid
I despise glittering gold,
and nothing can console me
except my lovely brave sailor.

Tyrant

If you knew what you cause
Oh, if you knew how many lives you burn
It's that I want to believe that you aren't aware
because you'd never see a son die from a shot in the forehead
What do you feel when not feeling pain
and thinking you are my saviour?
It's that I want to believe that you aren't aware
You may be able to operate wallets, but not minds.
The whole world is kneeling before you
among tears and blood on the floor.
Waiting for something to fall from the sky
Defenceless, without exit and without comfort.
How easy it is to die on a square
how simple it is to fire from your house.
Tyrant, there is no sowrd in the world able
to cut your hands off.
Tyrant, tyrant, a thousand prayers in vain
don't help to make you die early.
Tyrant.

In Ukraine (Delanoe/Giraud)

la la la in Ukraine
For the big night of summer
We speed from every bottom of the plains
Over all the roads to go dance
 
la la la in Ukraine
Catherina, the joyful heart
She wears (it) like a queen
Flowers in a crown on her blond hair
 
The entire nation moves
Catharina on the way
Clicks her red boots joyfully
And her linnen skirt flies over the wind
 
La la la a bit before
the feast was begon
she sings about the happiness
of living and loving until she's out of breath
 
La la la in Ukraine
When the night of Saint John returns
It's love which unchains itself
In a tornade of joy and song
 
La la la and the fever
Climbs, climbs amidst the cries
They'll say it's a dream
Their shadows who turn, turn in the night
 
And throughout the village
The rain changes the background
But despite the storm that rages
Catherina dances, dances, still dances
 
La la la in Ukraine
When de night begins during the day
A girl in the plain
Goes for love in the arms of a boy

A Ruháid Alatt

Versions: #2
Te egy dal vagy
Amit Isten kezeivel írtak
Ne érts félre, mert
Ez egy kicsit furán hangozhat
De te birtoklod a helyet
Ahová az összes gondolatom elbújt
És pont a ruháid alatt
Találom meg őket
 
A ruháid alatt
Egy végtelen történet van
Ott a férfi, akit választottam
Ott van a területem
És minden dolog, amit megérdemlek
Amiért ilyen jó kislány voltam édesem
 
Miattad
Elfelejtettem okosan hazudni
Miattad
Elfogynak az indokaim a sírásra
Mikor a barátok elmentek
Mikor vége van a bulinak
Mi még mindig egymáshoz fogunk tartozni
 
A ruháid alatt
Egy végtelen történet van
Ott a férfi, akit választottam
Ott van a területem
És minden dolog, amit megérdemlek
Amiért ilyen jó kislány voltam édesem
 
Téged mindennél jobban szeretlek ezen a bolygón
Mozgunk, beszélünk, sétálunk, lélegzünk
Tudod, hogy így van
Oh bébi, ez olyan vicces
Te talán el sem hiszed
Ahogy minden hang a csendből jön
A lámpák a plafonról lógnak
Ahogy egy hölgyet köt a modora
Úgy vagyok hozzá kötve ehhez az érzéshez
 
A ruháid alatt
Egy végtelen történet van
Ott a férfi, akit választottam
Ott van a területem
És minden dolog, amit megérdemlek
Amiért ilyen jó kislány voltam édesem
 

Rue de la Paix

Versions: #2
Down the Rue de la Paix
through the sunset lights magic
youth goes up in the sky
thinking – “life is not tragic”.
Many just after* school
taking bids to compete with
well-established adults
in the corrupted* systems.
 
The sunrises fly by
with no visible changes,
we did climb for a while
making moves
and arrangements.
Film of memory shows -
band smiles while on the road,
and the roads do not bore
when the dear is aboard
with you
in the bluish heights.
 
Remember how often
we laughed at nothings
and spent so much time
learning to factor numbers,
were then unaware -
and never would guessing -
that was to prepare
to count buddies missing.
 
We often skipped classes
to come to the movies
where blood on the street
and the hero in crosshair is,
but never expected
that roles for real -
to fall in the vortex,
to be stuck in nightmares -
as the worthy pawn
in someone’s game.
 
We wished and hoped
to stay ourselves longer,
to grow on the Rue
de la Paix calm and stronger.
Feel moment and harmony,
heartbeats and love words,
need not to denude soul
or ever to draw the swords.
 
Alas! - greedy eye
of the forthcoming tempest
and shell casings lay
on sidewalks, smooth and dry,
turned down the return,
no comeback,
and in silence
somebody will bow over us,
placing flowers,
still could not move lips for
“Bye”.
 

I Called

I loved you a lot, but I've fallen again
I gave my heart to you, but today I got something new
Oh, my crazy heart, how are you bleeding again?
As usual, you're burned in this game again
 
I have no regrets, you made me cry so much
I'm never gonna go back to you again
 
I called, I called, you didn't open it
How many times I called, you didn't hear
You never asked what state I was in
You're not worthy to me
 

Take Drugs

Take drugs son, you have nothing to live for
Your conscience is telling you that drugs cost the least
Less than tuition, how much do you use
No matter how smart you are, you’re the last on the list
Forget ideals, here morons govern
You’ll finish school but then where will you go next
Fleeing really doesn’t make sense
There’s more like them on the outside and more Nazis
A stranger in a foreign land hungry for money
What do you expect from them, they all fuck you there?
Shoot up and don’t think about the cretin
Don’t think about children and don’t have a wife
What’s the real question surrounding the birthrate?
You give birth to children, let orphans walk the earth
Brother, the more of us the better, let us be a little China
And we take drugs when it’s not going well
 
Take drugs son, no one will pay attention
When you fuck up, you won’t do time
They’ll prepare you for the psych, give you pills
Take drugs son, there won’t be any harm
It’ll be great, you’ll be the center of attention
And you’ll get pussy since they need a delivery guy
Hit yourself already, come one, who gives a fuck
Like anyone cares about you anyways
Listen to your conscience, she knows
You’ll end up in a commune, led by a bunch of thieves
They seem like philanthropists, but they’re actually pieces of shit
Someone else gets charged, someone else’s unfortunate ignorance
No, it doesn’t matter, you’ll deal with it, laugh loudly
Kill people, but for that, you won’t do time
You’ll have privileges with a good plan
Free needles in action, to prevent HIV
That’s how it goes, this type is desired as a member of the government
Those types don’t think about it when these types start to steal
And the music festival sounds good while on drugs
Fuck techno, everyone’s tried it in techno
Everything looks so beautiful, everything looks super and
Time is relative, you live today for yesterday
You’re right, drugs are the meaning of life
Still costs less than tuition
 

Sing for us

Friday is a day to wet the feet
To lay in the hammock, [with] the blanket on the body and no stress
And let the wind refresh
I play guitar for us to rest
 
While we clap our hands, always calm, my love
Let's wash our souls
Today I'm not gonna have insomnia
Your smile sets me free from Babylon

Nazani (Lovely)

You are the angel who stole the boat.
Because you stole and captured my heart as hostage with delusion, my lovely.
There is no one like you, my lovely,
Not in the east, nor the west, nor the north, nor the south.
There is no one like you my lovely,
Not in the east, nor the west, nor the north, nor the south.
 
For your love, a lot of people lose their faith and belief.
Have a mercy on me and stay with me
Then my happiness would last forever
With a guitar, a violin and a tambour, my lovely.
Then my happiness would last forever
With a guitar, a violin and a tambour, my lovely.
Then my happiness would last forever
With a guitar, a violin and a tambour, my lovely.
 

Georgi Was Left An Orphan

Georgi was left an orphan,
without a father, this Georgi, but with a mother.
 
So his mother raised him,
he bacame a big lad.
 
Wonders his mother, she wonders,
what craft to choose for him.
 
She chose, his moher, she chose,
to make him a goldsmith.
 
A young goldsmith in the village,
to make bracelets, rings.
 
Georgi was pouring gold,
pouring gold, he was.
 
Twice his face was shining,
twice shined, threefold shined on.
 

How It All Began

Who's going to tell me how it all began?
My life no longer make sense now
I know, there won't be any way to see you
Without me knowing why you went away
 
And without wanting to hurt you, I never knew how to be like
What you imagined for yourself
 
Give me your hand, don't lie anymore
Look that your eyes are crystals
Please don't say you don't go out
Because I always know where you're going
 
There's no more reason to live without the passion
That haunts me and follow me all the time
 
Because, without wanting, I hurt you so much, I never knew how to be like
What you imagined for yourself
 
Give me your hand, don't lie anymore
Look that your eyes are crystals
Please don't say you don't go out
Because I always know where you're going
 
Give me your hand, don't lie anymore
Look that your eyes are crystals
Give me your hand

My life is a miracle
Even if sometimes I'm bad
But everything is fine
My life is a miracle
 
I don't smile out of spite
No, everything is fine
My life is a miracle
Try to sleep tonight
'Cause everything is fine
My life is a miracle
 
It's true that I don't run anymore
But somewhere else, others are running on mines
I nourish myself with these tubes
But elsewhere, others only know famine
I know that you want to know more
Elsewhere, others don't have a mother any longer to kiss
It's true that we go back and forth
Elsewhere, others don't have the means to take care of themselves
So
 
I don't smile out of spite
No, everything is fine
My life is a miracle
Try to sleep tonight
'Cause everything is fine
My life is a miracle
 
I don't smile out of spite
No, everything is fine
My life is a miracle
Try to sleep tonight
'Cause everything is fine
My life is a miracle
 
It's true that I see my friends less
But elsewhere, others only have loneliness
It's true that I missed some classes
But elsewhere, others dream about studying
 
It's true that I am less home
Elsewhere, others live under a pile of ruins
I am not underestimating my situation
Elsewhere, others don't have the strength you give me
So
 
I don't smile out of spite
No, everything is fine
My life is a miracle
Try to sleep tonight
'Cause everything is fine
My life is a miracle
 
I don't smile out of spite
No, everything is fine
My life is a miracle
Try to sleep tonight
'Cause everything is fine
My life is a miracle
 
I address you with a couple of words
Like a bandage, a pomade
To thank you for this love
Which I draw to my courage
You are my injection
With you, life is a miracle
But to see you so sad
That's what makes me so sick again
Really sick
Really sick
Really sick
Mama
Mama
Mama
 
Mama
Thanks to you
My life is a miracle
My life is a miracle
Mama
Mama
Mama
 

Revolution

Hard life
Hard times
Hungry children
Was enough
 
Revolution
Revolution
 
Time passes
No more lies
The mothers cry
No more tears
 
Revolution
Revolution
 
Now we see
That there is no hope
Time has come
Where do we have to go?
We
Grey sky
Every day
We betrayed ourselves
We have
 
Revolution
Revolution
 
When we pray in the rain
We are saved from this pain
 
Revolution
Revolution
 
Now we see
that there is no hope
The time has come
Where we have to free ourselves
 
And we drive deserted streets
Free our land!
And we overcome each desert
We leave it all behind
 
And go toward the city
For a sacred word
We survive all the battles
In order to fight another day
 
What can we do?
To stop the tears
Revolution near
Revolution here
 
Don't cry for me
My heart is free
My broken wings
Went away with the wind
 
Don't cry for me
My heart is free
My wet dreams
Became part of myself
 
And we drive deserted streets
Free our land!
And we overcome this desert
And we leave it all behind
 
And go toward the city
For a sacred word
We survive all the battles
In order to fight another day
 
What can we do?
To stop the tears
Revolution near
Revolution here
 
Revolution
Revolution
 

When you go away

When you go away,
because you have to leave some day,
and I've always known that.
When you go away,
don't try
to hold me in your arms.
 
No, don't say anything to me.
I've been expecting this for so long.
Doing worry, everything will be ok.
But as you leave look at me
and simple smile.
 
The world will carry on,
the earth won't stop.
When you go away,
neither you or I
will cry about it.
 
When you go away,
like those great birds who fear the winter
who go far away in search of blue skies.
 
Go, don't lie to me.
I know very well that sometimes
you are already very far away from me.
Go, follow your own path,
and as for me, I'll follow mine.
 
The world will carry on,
the earth won't stop.
When you go away,
neither you or I
will die from that.
 

An Avenue Full of Saudade

Who knows how long I take Lisbon in me?
How long have I been raising this city in my voice?
At any time, time does not forgive
It is from this city the blue that hurts me
And time is in us the same age
 
Who knows everything that Lisbon knows about me?
How many seagulls has the quay of this anxiety?
In my chest, there is an echo that stuns me
A pigeon that lifts and flies
An avenue full of saudade1
 
If the night is one of uncertainty and poetry
I close the shutters of joy
I cast my look into clarity
If sadness hurts more than I can bear
 
It is in the deep roots of beauty
That I fill my hands with freedom
 
Who knows everything that Lisbon knows about me?
How many seagulls has the quay of this anxiety?
In my chest, there is an echo that stuns me
A pigeon that lifts and flies
An avenue full of saudade1
 
Knowing how long the pain has tired us
Lisbon is a child in my blood
That brings on the face a little bitterness
But it is a party every dawn
 
Lisbon...
Lisbon is the hope we have left
The capital city of wind and tenderness
 

• a unique Portuguese word that means the feeling of hurt and nostalgia, caused by the absence, disappearance, distance or deprivation of people, times, places or things to which one has been affectionately connected and that one wishes to have again in the present

Grey mirages

Only because you're a nobody
You're able to talk to another human
A rich life full of secrets
Inside a common man, a common man
 
Cheap words, faces, smiles
Don't say too much, common man
Though you're a nobody, remain that way
Save your grey secrets for me
 
Thousands of faces, hundreds of mirages
It's the man who creates metamorphoses
Metamorphoses metamorphoses metamorphoses metamorphoses
 
And leave it a secret
What you usually have for breakfast
And whether you make love
Seven or five times a week
Your house among hundreds of other houses
With a grey door, a grey balcony
If you're tormented by grey dreams
Knock on my grey door
 
Thousands of faces, hundreds of mirages
It's the man who creates metamorphoses
Metamorphoses metamorphoses metamorphoses metamorphoses
 
Only because you're a nobody
You're able to talk to another human
A rich life full of secrets
Inside a common man, a common man
 
Thousands of faces, hundreds of mirages
It's the man who creates metamorphoses
 

If Someone Tells You

If someone tells you that, while far away from you,
I will forget that my heart
belongs to you—
you need not hear it
even if someone will say to you
that, if I leave, I will never come back—
you need not hear it, no.
 
What we have between us,
you know it will not end—
and so wait for my love
and do not cry any longer—
even if someone will say to you
that, far from you,
I will forget the sweet phrases,
whispered to you in kisses—
you need not hear it, no.
Even if someone will say to you
that, far from you,
I will forget the sweet phrases,
whispered to you in kisses—
you need not hear it, no.
 

I'm Hallucinating

Around me it's dark
Around me is you
Like I'm diving on a breath
Tonight's pain has a threshold
like the Great Wall of China
 
Around me is a lie
You know that the best
When everyone betrays you
You'll remember me
Then give me whatever you give me
 
I'm blowing up my mind
I'm hallucinating
Everyone's asking what I'm on
When I start to hurt over you, I'm not picky
I'm on everything
 
I'm not faking
I'm demolishing myself
When I hit my head in a wall
I move the house's foundation
To get you out of my heart
 
I have a serious fault
I want you as a gift
Promise me everything
Then betray me like before
That's a normal thing
 
I need one hundred years
I need two hearts
And one sober night
And some magic
To get over you
 
I'm blowing up my mind
I'm hallucinating
Everyone's asking what I'm on
When I start to hurt over you, I'm not picky
I'm on everything
 
I'm not faking
I'm demolishing myself
When I hit my head in a wall
I move the house's foundation
To get you out of my heart
 
I'm blowing up my mind
I'm hallucinating
Everyone's asking what I'm on
When I start to hurt over you, I'm not picky
I'm on everything
 
I'm not faking
I'm demolishing myself
When I hit my head in a wall
I move the house's foundation
To get you out of my heart
