One Millimeter From You

I want to be the air
That undresses your mornings
And die in each kiss
Of those who messed us up
 
And I get dressed as a barrier
In case you run away
Now I know that I'm happy
Now I know you're here holding me close
 
I propose to you four plans to find out
Our story that is yet to come
I propose to you four plans to find out
 
That you are the lyrics of my melody
That I feel like I can if you are close to me
I just want to stay and not have to invent you
To keep breathing, filled of you
 
That you are the lyrics of my melody
That we don't wake up with the light of day
I just want to stay not to imagine
To breathe and live a millimeter away from you
 
One millimeter from you, yeah
 
Because someone said it already
It's not how it starts, it's how it ends
I walk with my fingers
On the map of your back
 
I propose to you four plans to find out
Our story that is yet to come
I propose to you four plans to find out
 
That you are the lyrics of my melody
That I feel like I can if you are close to me
I just want to stay and not have to invent you
To keep breathing, filled of you
 
That you are the lyrics of my melody
That we don't wake up with the light of day
I just want to stay not to imagine
To breathe and live a millimeter away from you
 
One millimeter from you
One millimeter from you
One millimeter from you
 
I want to stay with your melody
That we don't wake up with the light of day
I want to stay not to imagine
To breathe and live a centimeter away from you
 
One millimeter from you
From you and from me
And breathe you, breathe, breathe you
One millimeter away from you
 

Looks can kill

we totally didn't get a happy ending the Disney way
fullblown war
your lips taste like gunpowder
makeup running down your cheek now
barking like a pitbull
never seen you like that before
 
looks can kill
we should be dead by now
she saw my future
in that you weren't included
looks can kill
we should be dead by now
should be dead by now
 
despite the words you said
and the punches you dealt, you're crying rivers
doing the same thing over and over again
baby, I have forgotten about you
baby, please forget of me
fuck everything we had
how you dug our grave and left the steeringwheel
doing the same thing over and over again
baby, I have forgotten about you
baby, please forget of me
 
a long time since our hearts beat
time to move on
you're bitter like a lemon
oh, one more episode
is more than I can take
you're the pebble in my shoe
 
looks can kill
we should be dead by now
she saw my future
in that you weren't included
looks can kill
we should be dead by now
should be dead by now
 
despite the words you said
and the punches you dealt, you're crying rivers
doing the same thing over and over again
baby, I have forgotten about you
baby, please forget of me
fuck everything we had
how you dug our grave and left the steeringwheel
doing the same thing over and over again
baby, I have forgotten about you
baby, please forget of me
 
despite the words you said
and the punches you dealt, you're crying rivers
fuck everything we had
how you dug our grave and left the steeringwheel
 
despite the words you said

doing the same thing over and over again

doing the same thing over and over again
baby, I have forgotten about you

Amelia's Will

Ill... She is ill,
Our good king's daughter.
Earls go to visit her,
Earls and the most noble people.
 
Oh, my heart is crumbling
Like a handful of carnations!
 
Her mother also goes there
Once (it's known that) she's beyond hope.
- Daughter, oh my daughter,
What illness is afflicting you?
 
Oh, my heart is crumbling
Like a handful of carnations!
 
- Mother, my dear mother,
You know it well enough:
You have given me the poison
That is ravaging my heart.
 
Oh, my heart is crumbling
Like a handful of carnations!
 

José

I calculated the north, I trusted in luck, I pretended to be strong and went.
I skirted the old ones, cons and advices, corners and flowerbeds and went
To discover the world at the bottom of the garden
 
I drew a map, I made a cover from a cloth, made utopian plans
With the winds and the supplies of Coca-Cola1 and Mentos2, I went
To the ends of the world at the bottom of the garden
 
Breaking woods, tracing the path where the bootee points
I poked myself in a cactus, I stepped on a cat's tail, I lost myself in the grass
 
I saw the end of the world and the bottom's gate, I strongly defended my life
I ran from an insect, I stepped on a waste, I passed near a scorpion
And this is how I saw the ends of the world
 
All I've left is the cunning of a plush dog while the sun disappears
And an Action Force3 that sent an S.O.S in morse code
It costed a lot to discover the end of the world
 
Then, a very angry roar made the whole garden tremble
Is it a cyclone, some hungry dragon or a lot worse bug?
It was my mother's voice asking for me

The Road At Night

I'm going along the road at night,
letting the stars illuminate me.
I'm going along the road at night,
because the shadows are my companions.
 
I love you and I have not given up,
someday I will be back for your affection.
I love you and don't think that I am repentant
because my great love is unforgettable.
 
I don't care that you go wherever you go,
I don't care that you want to lose yourself.
I will find you, woman, even in death,
beyond the pain and the sorrow.
 
I'm going along the road at night,
letting the stars illuminate me.
I'm going along the road at night,
because the shadows are my companions.
 
I don't care that you go wherever you go,
I don't care that you want to lose yourself.
I will find you, woman, even in death,
beyond the pain and the sorrow.
 
I'm going along the road at night,
letting the stars illuminate me.
I'm going along the road at night,
because the shadows are my companions.
 

The Best, The Best, The Best

The best, the best, the best
The best kind of love is a shy love
When you chatter about everything and you blush
He likes engines, she likes sport, mountains
They definitely will gossip about the teachers
This is what you like to remember
 
May, may, may, maybe they will buy a box in a cinema
Like the Count of Monte Cristo and that duchess
She is literally like Jana Brejchová
Jean Marais is not manlier
This is what you like to remember
 
They don't look at the tower clock on their way back from the cinema
It doesn't work either
They are soaking their noses in an ice cream
 
The most, the most, the most quickly the time flies during the date
Why can't you go out without the permit?
There is so mich talking because of the little delay
Parents won't change in that
This is what you like to remember
 

So Mountainous*

I need a black woman
To love me and give me her love
I need a black woman
To love me and give me her love
 
I don’t care whether she is ugly or
Big-nosed, has a large mouth,
Is lame, or makes like the ones Leonor makes
 
All that matters is that …
All that matters is that …
(All that matters is what, man?)
All that matters is that
She have good intentions towards me.
All that matters is that …
All that matters is that …
(All that matters is what, what?)
All that matters is that
She have a very pure heart
 
Dear, light a candle
But hurry up, be quick
I feel an animal pricking me
It’s biting me hard
Right here above my knee
Maybe it’s a scorpion
 
I’m in despair, my God, mmm!
What a bite this insect has
It feels like a needle
It could be some kind of vampire
That wants to suck out my blood
Or some damned witch
 
Light the candle
-I don’t know where it is
It’s on the table
-I’m approaching it now
Light the candle
I don’t know where it is
It’s on the table
I’m approaching it now
 

It's so easy to love you

It's so easy to love you
To pass all [my] life at your feet
This should be so sweet
And for this I'd give everything
Indeed, everything
And we'd be so happy us two
For it would truly be most unfortunate
To not be able to experience it
It's so easy to love you
 
You'd be so easy to love
So easy to idolize
All others above
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep every home fire burning for
 
We'd be so grand at the game
So carefree together
That it does seem a shame
That you can't see
Your future with me
Cause you'd be oh, oh, so easy to love
 
And we'd be so happy us two
For it would truly be most unfortunate
To not be able to experience it
It's so easy to love you
 

It's been such a long while

It's been such a long while since1
the sky was so very blue,
yet in your eyes I still can see
this bright wonderful land.
 
Sea, desert, sunny palm trees,
where are they now?
It's been such a long while since
we were sixteen and among carefree friends.
 
Our brightest days must have fled
on the boat of our sorrows
and carry our memories with them.
Like a bird coming from afar,
our love made it home
alien to us, as if2 wounded.
 
It's been such a long while since
the sky was so very blue,
yet you are here and I am here
and we hold the hope
of the future in our hands.
 
La la la la...
 
Sea, desert, sunny palm trees,
where are they now?
It's been such a long while since
we were sixteen and among carefree friends.
 
Our brightest days must have fled
on the boat of our sorrows
and carry our memories with them.
Like a bird coming from afar,
our love made it home
alien to us, as if wounded.
 
But there's no use living in bitterness.
We are together and still happy.
Time has fled, another time
is already coming by.
Hope is on its way.

Because I Hurt Myself

I promised myself that I would never love anyone again
And that if I did involve myself, it would be just for a moment
That with time never someone would believe again
That no one would have the mornings to hurt my feelings
 
Because I hurt myself
I thought it was best to run away
But you touching me with caution
Got me
 
Because i hurt myself
Almost, I almost lost
The wild sweetness of your arms
The most beautiful love that I have known
 
I was always a reserved and cold person
I am here counting stars
Looking at the ocean, it is so beautiful
 
What I want the most is to go far
In this deep love of ours
I want you, love, appreciate
Cutest thing in the world
 
Because I hurt myself
I thought it was best to run away
But you touching me with caution
Got me
 
Because i hurt myself
Almost, I almost lost
The wild sweetness of your arms
The most beautiful love that I have known
 

What happened, happened

What happened, happened
It doesn't concern me
If I suffered and cried before
Everything is in the past
I forgot, I forgot, I forgot
 
In my life I have who to live for
I love and I'm loved
I will never ever be
Alone and sad anymore
I forgot about the past
 
Please give an applause to love
That has come to me
A thousand thanks for so much, so much love
 
I live in love, I fell in love today
I'm so happy
I forgot everything, and to all the past
I said good bye
 
I forgot, I forgot, I forgot
 
Please give an applause to love
That has come to me
A thousand thanks for so much, so much love
 
I live in love, I fell in love today
I'm so happy
I forgot everything, to all the past
I said good bye
 

Poor Of Me

Very sad I live
poor of me!
Unable to find a remedy,
just for loving you
my life is like this.
 
I want to be a shadow in the night,
poor of me!
To contemplate you when you sleep,
just for loving you
my life is like this.
 
More or less in the early morning
Poor me!
To wake you up with a kiss
just for loving you
my life is like this.
 

I love you

I wish I had the guts to say
How big is my love
But I don't know what happens
My voice disappears
When I'm by your side
I try to disguise
either smiling or singing
But inside I'm crying
 
Not even the sky, that makes everyone dream,
Can't inspire me
All I know is that I'm suffering
I'm dying little by little
Just because I can't tell it
And I call you when I'm by myself
I complain very low
How I'd like to say
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
 
Not even the sky, that makes everyone dream,
Can't inspire me
All I know is that I'm suffering
I'm dying little by little
Just because I can't tell it
And I call you when I'm by myself
I complain very low
How I'd like to say
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
 

Just tell me !

How many nights costed you the voice of mine to forget?
'cause without fear of loosin you, always i warned you
That at a certain time your soul's gonna ache lovin me
And that the blame wasn't from the both of us
Because i wasn't takin' care , the soul of mine was at loss
 
Today i don't find the way to ask forgivness
The life's killin me and i feel your pain
 
SO much
Today it pains me so much
Now tell me , how much it must pain me
 
You only tell me
'How long this hell's gonna take ?
I', cold chills in this inferno
I feel that now i regret
I don't lie to you
 
Just tell me
If you feel me, still
IF this has any 'exit'

For this i keep your memories

The Indians of the Meia-Praia

Meia-Praia Village
Right next to Lagos
I’m gonna write you a song
As best as i can
 
From Monte-Gordo they came
Some of them walking on foot
One arrived by bike
Another went astern
 
When your eyes stumble
On a seagull flight
Instead of fish they see pieces
Of gold falling in the fish market
 
Whoever comes to live here
Don’t bring tables nor beds
With six feet of land
You can build a hut
 
You work all year round
At the fish market they leave you mute
They rob you up to the bones
They take away your scalp
 
I wish we had
The bravery of Agostinho*
To feed the rage
Of strangulating the bourgeoisie
 
I said goodbye to Monte-Gordo
(Nothing holds him to bad memories)
But nothing holds him to the present
If only he is fooled
 
Eight thousand counted hours
Were rigorously laboured
Until it came the first
Certified Document
 
They were women and children
Each one carrying it’s brick
'This was an orchestra '
Who says otherwise is a fool
 
And if the spiteful tongues don’t cease
I won’t leave here alive
For nothing erases the nobleness
Of the indians of the Meia-Praia
 
It has always been your trademark
A shark with a thousand scraps
Leaving everything suspended
When you’re glancing the pray
 
From the finished elections
From the expected result
Came out what you have seen
Lots of withholding works
 
But not by one’s will
Because the fight will carry on
Since this is his story
And the people took the streets
 
High finance leaders
Make everything go backwards
They say the world only moves on
Having a foreman in charge
 
They were women and children
Each one carrying it’s brick
'This was an orchestra'
Who says otherwise is a fool
 
And let’s get on with the paperwork
In the toing and froing of the ministries
But they will run away from screams
And band is still in the streets
 

What One Day Was, Will Not Be

In your hands I learned to drink water,
I was a sparrow who was imprisoned in your cage,
because I cut my wings, and the birdseed that you gave me
Was so little, and yet I loved you.
 
My song for you always complete,
without you I could not fly in other skies,
but you left me alone, confused and forgotten,
and another hand offered me the desired fruit.
 
Chorus:
What one day was, will not be,
Now do not come back to look for me
I have nothing to give you,
I got tired of your birdseed.
 
Go fly to other skies
and leave your cage open,
maybe another sparrow will fall,
but give him a drink.
 
Let me turn on the light, I don't want anything,
If this had been yesterday, I would take it,
the first time you offer yourself so that I stay here,
but without loving you anymore, what would you gain?
 
Chorus:
What one day was, will not be,
do not come back and look for me
I have nothing to give you,
I got tired of your birdseed...
 

Something Prodigious

Someone watches over the child
When he fell asleep
Someone who put a million stars
In the infinite
Someone who will always guide the swallows
To far-off lands
Someone who, when desperate
Shows a path that can save them
 
That prodigious something
That illuminated my life
With a marvelous sun,
The tenderness of your love
 
You, only you
That is a ray of light in my life
You, spring
Of happiness, calm and peace
 
That prodigious something
That illuminated my life
With a marvelous sun
The tenderness of your love
 
You, only you
That is a ray of light in my life
You, spring
Of happiness, calm and peace
 
Someone watches over the child
When he fell asleep
Someone who put a million stars
In the infinite
 

I Remember A Day When I Was In Jaffa

I remember a day when I was in Jaffa
Tell us, tell us about Jaffa
My boat1 in Jaffa's harbor
O, the days of fishing in Jaffa
 
The sea called us to go fishing on a clear day
So, we prepared our boats2
We glimpsed images in the heart
We came back with longing to Jaffa
 
We sailed3 at dawn
The froth and sail
We got lost in the middle4
And we could not find the beach5
 
Did you find a lot of fish
And did you catch a lot of it?
Say, 'day and night
We play with water'
 
But at night, at night
The wind came at night
What a lashing storm
It connected the sea6 with the sky
 
The night sea storm
A pack of Seawolves
We dropped the mast
We held the oars
We fought so hard
And death was playing us
 
We fought the angry waves
We dove into the tumultuous sea
And our hands are pulling bluntly
And the boat is pulling, and pulling itself too
 
That day, they said that we are lost
That we are doomed in the cold ever
But we came back with the morning light
We came out of the wind just like a genie coming out of its lamp
 
We interned Jaffa's harbor
What a sweet feeling returning to Jaffa
We filled the bank with seashells
How beautiful are the days at Jaffa
 
We were, with the wind howling
Saying, 'We will come back, Jaffa'
And today, the wind is howling
And we will come back Jaffa
And we will come back Jaffa
And we will come back Jaffa

Rajta szív!

Nem, nem tudom megérteni
Szerelmünk miért van tele meglepetéssel
Az illata megőrjített
És most hirtelen elpárolog
 
Ha kicsúszik a kezeim közül
És ha sokkal többet volt ott, áttörvén a falaimat
És eljött nekem a magány, De meg kell szöknöm
Hogy újult erővel éljek.
 
Rajta szív, ne álljál meg többet!
Hisz az élet fájdalom nélkül nem lenne ugyanaz
Felesleges várni
Nem akarom belehalni a szerelembe.
 
Rajta szív, ne sírj többet
Még ha a szerelemig hosszú is az út
Nagyon erősen kell dobbannod
Amit az élet elvár már!
 
Igen, még el akarom hinni
Vissza akarom szerezni az ábrándjaimat,
A sebeim begyógyulnak és lesznek hegeim
Amik megmaradnak.
 
Hiszen az élet a szerelem,
Még most is dobban
Hogy a fájdalmat megszüntessem.
 
Rajta szív, ne sírj többet
Még ha a szerelemig hosszú is az út
Nagyon erősen kell dobbannod
Amit az élet elvár már!
 
Bolondan, a kezeim közt ott volt
És a karjaiban aludtam
És miközben sírtam
Ő vele nevetett.
 
Rajta szív, ne álljál meg többet!
Hisz az élet fájdalom nélkül nem lenne ugyanaz
Felesleges várni
Nem akarom belehalni a szerelembe.
 
Rajta szív, ne sírj többet
Még ha a szerelemig hosszú is az út
Nagyon erősen kell dobbannod
Amit az élet elvár már!
 

The Boxer

I'm a simple guy
My history is so usual
I changed my security
For a world made only of dreams and promises
That's always like this when we hear what we want to hear
 
When I left my home I was just a boy
And strangers were all around
I walked around the station without deciding
Where to go? Looking for places where my luck could be
Waiting for someone to accompany me
 
In the big and cold city I tried to surrender
But no one listened
Only women came closer to invite me
Let me confess, I felt so alone that I even agreed to pay1
 
And time passed faster than the trains
And after so many fights, everything is identical
So identical, everything is identical
In the dark and cold winter
I think of running away and coming back
To somewhere where the airs of this city don't suffocate me anymore
I'll run away, I'll come back
 
In the arena there's a man
A boxer
That carries the memories
Of every time he fell to the ground2
Because of a punch or money
Many times he wanted to run away
But deep within he knew that he needs to keep on, insist
 

• 1. Maybe they're prostitutes
• 2. He was knocked down

Because I pursue your love
But you give me the cold shoulder

Because in my dreams I hope
to embrace you ever tighter

That by loving you has brought
On himself endless disasters

though my feet can only waver

You keep throwing as leftovers

That will not dare take a gun

You are the one to Blame

Versions: #3
you are the one to blame for
this anguish and this torture, this pain and all this misery
you've filled my life with nothing
except these sweet anxieties and all these bitter memories
 
your love is like an outburst
i carry in my being and also in my heart
i have no choice about this
i'm just a slave in your eyes, a plaything for your love
 
don't play with my anxiety, don't play with my emotions
they are the only ones i've got
your are my one and only, my final hope for living
you must believe it once
 
you know it makes me desperate
it kills me, it drives me crazy
you know i'd give my whole life to overcome my fear
of kissing you
 

The gloomy one

Versions: #3
How gloomy was to say our goodbyes
just when our love was growing the most
the swallow then decided to fly
like foreboding the worst
 
How gloomy it all seems without you
the ocean turns away from the coast
the colors have become all gray hues
I am feeling alone
 
Who knows if I will see you again
who knows what kind of fate will I have
Without the starry blue of your air
Giving light to my path
I’ve chosen to devour my pain
Not taking neither pity or relief
the story of our love will remain for all eternity
 
How gloomy they all say that I am
that you are the motif of my talk
they haven’t realized that your love, your love
it’s what keeps me alive to this day, it’s what keeps me alive to this day
 
I’ve chosen to devour my pain, not taking neither pity or relief
the story of our love will remain for all eternity
How gloomy they all say that I am that you are the motif of my talk
they haven’t realized that your love your love
it’s what keeps me alive to this day, it’s what keeps me alive to this day, it’s what keeps me alive to this day
 

Pillow

Versions: #2
Love like ours there are not two in life.
no matter how hard you search, no matter how hard you hide it.
you sleep with me every night
you stay silent without any reproach.
that's why I love you, that's why I adore you
You are my life's treasure.
 
Sometimes I return drunk in distress.
I fill you with kisses and withered caress.
but you're asleep, you dont my feel touch, i hug you tightly to my chest I sleep with you, but when i awake you're not with me is only my pillow.
 
Sometimes I look at you and you're quiet and absent. And
I suffer in silence as so many people do.
I want to scream out loud to please come back with me. that I am still alive is only to love you. but everything passes and to the sufferings as to the words the wind takes them all.
 
That's why I return drunk in distress.
I fill you with kisses and withered caress.
but you're asleep, you dont my feel touch, i hug you tightly to my chest I sleep with you, but when i awake you're not with me is only my pillow.
 

Tell Me That You Will Wait

Tell me that you will wait
Tell me that your lips still contain the taste
Of a spring morning
And that there is still no way
That your face declares it self imprisoned
And the passenger can't escape
And if I don't bring keys
You greet me at door
And you tell me it was always open
 
I'd return to be wrong one more time
I'd return to you, yesterday, in the past
I would stay if you still believed me
I will return, I will return
If you tell me that you will wait for me
I will return, I will return
 
Tell me that you will wait
Tell me the hours and minutes
I counted thinking of you were not in vain
Let me explain to you
That to love again
I missed letting go of your hand
And sometimes I ask myself
If you knew what I feel
I wouldn't like to cheat time
 
I'd return to be wrong one more time
I'd return to you, yesterday, in the past
I would stay if you still believed me
I will return, I will return
If you tell me that you will wait for me
I will return, I will return
 
It's never too late, it's never too late
You know it, you know it, you know it
It's never too late, it's never too late
You know it, you know it, you know it
 
I'd return to be wrong one more time
I'd return to you, yesterday, in the past
I would stay if you still believed me
I will return, I will return
If you tell me that you will wait for me
I will return, I will return
If you tell me that you will wait for me
I will return, I will return
 

The sound of the guitarra is the soul of a people

The sound of the guitarra1 is the soul of a people
That cries forth its fate2 in song
That lives a life on the banks of a river
And dies in the waves of the sea
 
And the sound of the guitarra is the soul of a people
That took to the streets in April3
That discovered the world by caravel
From Angola to Timor to Brazil
 
O, nation of sad poets
Who fight alone, resist
Up north, down south, in Lisbon
For Zeca, Camões, and Pessoa
 
O, nation of lonesome poets
You pray for us in May
In a fado of Amália, crying forth
A longing to be remembered
 
O, my warrior nation, you never give in
And you fight for your principles
Legends, prophecies from Alcácer Quibir
There are already too many utopias
 
O, nation of sad poets
Who fight alone, resist
Up north, down south, in Lisbon
For Zeca, Camões, and Pessoa
 
O, nation of lonesome poets
You pray for us in May
In a fado of Amália, crying forth
A longing to be remembered
 
For the sound of the guitarra is the soul of a people
Now free and able to dream
 

• 1. Portuguese guitar associated with fado
• 2. referring to both the idea of fate and the genre of fado
• 3. Carnation Revolution of April 25, 1974

The Good Side of Things

I don't know what is going on on this life
As everything comes and goes without warning
Your voice is stuck in my mind
You know that I don't want to punish myself
And I follow every step you take
Your shadow is leaving soon
 
And even if it costs me, I promise to avoid me
Rebuilding my life piece by piece
I'll change my answers for a no
 
As I don't want an incomplete life
Looking for a starting point
If I forget what you told me
When I dressed up embracing you, and you dressed up embracing me
As I don't want an incomplete life
Erasing the sun from my days
Escaping from your cowardice on this cold bed
I'll do anything to see
The good side of things
The good side of things
 
I roam on the streets, so lost
It is overwhelming to walk on your city
With your voice stuck in my mind
I see your face on the windows
And I, who try to see you and not watch
You're leaving, it's time
And even if it costs me, I promise to avoid me
Rebuilding my life piece by piece
I'll change my answers for a no
 
As I don't want an incomplete life
Looking for a starting point
If I forget what you told me
When I dressed up embracing you, and you dressed up embracing me
As I don't want an incomplete life
Erasing the sun from my days
Escaping from your cowardice on this cold bed
I'll do anything to see
The good side of things
The good side of things

You won't even miss me

What else can I give to you, that I haven't give you already?
I have to get away, loving you harms me,
can't go back, I deserve much more.
 
Maybe I was wrong, at not perceiving your signals
if you didn't love me yesterday, tomorrow it'll be late,
it hurts to accept you left me behind.
 
But no, I can't be with you, you hurt me so badly,
From now on, I give you back all the past, and this is the end,
who am I kidding?, you won't even miss me.
 
Don't know why I last so long for realizing
you're not the one who I imagined all over my head,
I know it was my mistake, I deserve something better.
 
Because no, I can't be with you, you hurt me so badly,
From now on, I give you back all the past, and this is the end,
who am I kidding?, you won't even miss me.
 
From now on, I give you back all the past, and this is the end,
who am I kidding?, you won't even miss me.
 
Just learning.

Northern

Northern, her dimple is northern
and I can't handle the laugh, precious
I wish that what took her to the east bring her back back to north
and she turned the west into south as well and the north
 
my heart fell for her and won't forget
told her that it cannot become cold
and if her sea needed a harbor
I will send my soul
 
North, to you I hit the road
and your eyes are all I've got
your love is like the heart that's on the left of my body
and your voice is like a singing flute

Kiss

[Verse 1]
Kiss, as simple as that
As simple as a kiss
Everything can change
 
Kiss, as simple as that
As simple as a kiss
Everything can get sorted out
 
[Chorus]
Kiss me, you lips together with mine again
Cause I wanna love you and tell you what I know
But I can't find the words, kiss me
 
Kiss me, you lips together with mine again
Cause in order to make you fall for me like I did yesterday
I'll have to start by getting closer, kiss me
 
[Verso 2]
Kiss, a fragment of the universe
A ritual in front of the verses
Natural desire
 
Kiss, a language so diverse
A path with no going back
An immortal elixir
