Life always remains the same

Versions: #2
For those who are born
others will die,
for those who laugh
others will cry.
 
Still water,
rivers without sea,
shames and glories,
wars and peace…
 
There’s always someone to laugh to,
someone to fight for,
there is always someone to suffer for
and someone to love.
 
Finally
what’s done remains
and people are gone.
Others, who come, will continue
and life always remains the same.
 
There are very few true friends
who embrace you when you succeed.
And when you fail, you will learn
the good ones, who’ll stay,
and the bad ones, who’ll leave.
 
There’s always someone to laugh to,
someone to fight for,
there is always someone to suffer for
and someone to love.
 
Finally
what’s done remains
and people are gone.
Others, who come, will continue
and life always remains the same.

Zumba Zum

I became a seamstress
And collapsed from my workload
I sew only for men, for men, for men
And my money rains down like leaves
 
I organized a system
Everyone has their own schedule
My store works until daybreak
So that people don't get fussy
 
I've got a plethora of customers
I just keep changing needles
The house and the streets are full
The needle goes zumba zum, zumba zum, zumba zum
Zumba zum, zumba zum, zumba zum
 

Yugo, my Yugo

My homeland, bountiful and plentiful
Everything dearest to me stayed with you
My husband, my kids, my whole family
And all those whom I loved
 
Ref.
Yugo, Yugo, your people cry out
I will always long after you
If I could just carry a piece of you with me
So that my heart would be filled with joy
Yugo, Yugo, your people cry out
I will always long after you
 
I cry and my heart hurts
Everything I love is far away over there
I have money, everything here is rich
But Yugoslavia is my only true gold
 
Ref.
 
My days remain sad and long
Until I come back to my dear Yugoslavia
My Yugoslavia, my favorite flower
You are the most beautiful country in this world
 
Ref.
 

Pansy Flowers

Versions: #2
Ornate ladybugs and intense pansy flowers
Won't recognize us, we'll come in new garments,
In new attire, having opened new eyes.
They will ask: Who are you? - Try to guess yourselves, guys.
 
Just as we came out, we'll be back already,
They will be surprised, but we'll start laughing steady.
How can one keep from laughing and crying,
They will recognize that and join us in our trying.
 
In the yard's a woodpile - [a] cat sits in limbo,
Stop shedding tears, look out from the window,
How splendid's the sky dome, how vibrant its colors -
These ladybugs and the ornate pansy flowers.

If you figure...

If you figure,
if you figure,
little girl, little girl,
if you figure
that it will, it will
last forever,
the mating
the mating
 
the mating season,
you couldn't be
more wrong, girl.
Couldn't be more wrong.
 
If you think, kiddo,
if you think, ha ha
that your rosy complexion,
your slender waist,
your cute biceps,
your enamel nails,
your nymph's thigh
and your light foot,
 
if you think
that all this
will last forever,
you couldn't be
more wrong, girl.
Couldn't be more wrong.
 
They are soon gone,
the sunny party days.
Suns and planets
all go round in circles
 
as for you, lass,
you're walking straight
toward an unseen future:
 
they are already on the prowl,
the swift wrinkle,
the ponderous fat,
the tripled chin,
the flaccid muscle.
 
So come on, pick, pick
the roses, the roses,
the roses of life
the roses of life.
 
And may their petals
become the quiet sea
of all bliss
of all bliss
 
Come on, pick them all.
If you don't do it,
you couldn't be
more wrong, girl.
Couldn't be more wrong.

The Indian

An opal arrow in my oval1
sweet metal of a Paleface2
A strange flower, an Indian in my heart.
 
A platinum arrow in my bosom,
blood-red tip, feline shoulder,
strange flora, an Indian in my body3
 
He is the love of my life,
I know it's him, everything points at him.
In him, everything is endless.
Night and day, I'm his.
 
An arrow [like] a dawn in my scenery,
golden locks4 with thick resounding skin5
A strange beast, an Indian in my party6
 
A bold arrow for mouth-to-mouth7,
of the 'hands off' type, the 'single bullet' type.
A strange guy, an Indian in my trip.
 
He is the love of my life,
I know it's him, everything hints at him.
In him, everything is endless.
Night and day, I'm his.
 
And if the arrow were poisoned,
I would give without hesitation
my naked heart for him to carry far, far away.
Indian territory.
 
And if the arrow were poisoned,
I would give without hesitation
my naked heart for him to carry far, far away.
 
He is the love of my life,
I know it's him, everything hints at him.
In him, everything is endless.
Night and day, I'm his.
 
An opal arrow in my oval
sweet metal of a Paleface
A strange flower, an Indian in my heart.
 
He's the one, yes he is, he is.
An Indian for life.
 

• 1. Not quite sure what she means by that. A mirror maybe?
• 2. lit. 'sweet pale-faced metal', but the pun on Palefaces vs Indians is obvious in French
• 3. plays on coeur/corps
• 4. lit. 'golden helmet', but the expression is a cliché to talk about thick blond hair, as in
• 5. 'cuir' usually means 'leather' but can also mean '[thick] skin'. As for what she actually means, your bet is as good as mine
• 6. 'fête' (party) sounds close to 'tête' (head).
• 7. also means 'resucitation' in French

It's Over

The sentence goes on repeat, the eco of my voice
Never been that tormented, felt the consequences that clearly
Of an own choice, but was that what I wanted?
It was my own choice and now I have to stick to it
(I lost the roof completely) I started to see what I had done
It's no way back, it could have bee us but I didn't choose it
 
It's over, it's over, it's o-o-over
It's over, it's over, hey oh oh oh oh
It's over, it's over, it's o-o-over
It's over, it's over, hey oh oh oh oh
 
The words were in the air for a moment before they hit you
We're still close but I feel you drifting away from me
I meant everything I said, even if I didn't know
It became a truth, from the gut to consciousness
(I completely lost the roof) I begin to understand what I have done
It's no way back, it could have bee us but I didn't choose it
 
It's over, it's over, it's o-o-over
It's over, it's over, hey oh oh oh oh
It's over, it's over, it's o-o-over
It's over, it's over, hey oh oh oh oh
 
I see your world falling apart, looking for answers in my eyes
I don't know what you saw, but I know that a part of me let you go
Can you ever be fully sure?
(???), it feels like the biggest betrayal
You draw back miles away, can change in a second
Everything is temporary
 
It's over, it's over, it's o-o-over
It's over, it's over
Hey! It's over, it's over, it's o-o-over
It's over, it's over, hey oh oh oh oh
It's over, it's over, it's o-o-over
It's over, it's over, hey oh oh oh oh
 

Now You've Got Me

Ohhh ohhh ohhh
Ohh ohhh ohhhh
Ohhh ohh ohhh
 
You had everything to give me
But I was always, too cowardly
It can be hard to believe in something
You don't know
They can be quite nice
The flowers that bloomed
Late
 
You were so full of faith in who we were and
What we should
That when it was my turn I was more threatening
To turn
Then you stopped giving and I got interested
But now I no longer get your attention
 
Now you've got me
All of me
Can you tell me what to do
So that you'll be like you were before
Now you've got me
oh oh
I am so full of faith in who we are and
What we shall
And I'll happily wait an eternety until
You get ready
But I think and think and think
Of if you have gotten tired of me
Or just mean that I have to wait for you
 
Now you've got me
oaahh ohhh oooh
All of me
Can you tell me what to do
So that you'll be like you were before
Now you've got me
ohh oh oh
I feel it clearly now
No doubt, only faith
I feel it clearly now
 
No doubt, only faith
No doubt, now you've got me
oaahh oh oh
All of me
Can you tell me what to do
So that you'll be like you were before
Now you've got me
oh oh
 
oooahhh ohhh ohh ohh
ohh ohh oohhh ohh oh
 

Love for money

She'd want to try everything and right away,
She wanted to sell her love for money,
and she wanted more, she wanted Hollywood,
and she wanted the stars to lift her to the heavens,
She wanted the high life and flew high above,
But he brought another girl to spend his million...
 
I would want to love you, but you don't let me,
I really don't understand what he has that I don't,
I'd call your name even if I had no voice,
A moment doesn't pass that I'm not thinking about us,
I would give you my youth all the way to old age,
You spit on all that and said that you didn't care,
But I dream that we're together from moon to moon,
Where I patiently show you that I care about you,
Where you love me as much as I love you,
When bad things happen you tell me that you support me,
Where you wait for me every day when I come home from work,
But I don't want to comprehend that even that isn't enough for you,
Maybe I don't have everything I'd wish for, but I love everything I do have,
I'd give you myself, but I didn't matter to you,
Because you're a materialist, your mind focuses on money,
And you constantly chase after people who hold the keys to the door...
 
She'd want to try everything and right away,
She wanted to sell her love for money,
and she wanted more, she wanted Hollywood,
and she wanted the stars to lift her to the heavens,
She wanted the high life and flew high above,
But he brought another girl to spend his million...
 
I know that the ladies can corrupt their beauty through their behavior,
And a bad attitude doesn't do them too many favors,
Still from that one day I thought daily,
What I'd see if I could see the world through your eyes,
That sad thought strangles my chest,
When I hear the stories that people gossip about you,
With you I was ready to travel the whole world,
But you said you have a crush on criminals, fame, and a full pocket,
Someone once told me: 'Be patient, a good woman will come,
Don't give up, and this too shall pass,'
Now I have fame and my pocket is just right,
But fuck it, now I love another girl,
I loved you so much, now I wouldn't even look at you,
I feel shame for you, where did all this lead you,
I loved you so much, now I wouldn't even look at you,
I feel shame to say that I wanted, wanted to live life with you...
 
She'd want to try everything and right away,
She wanted to sell her love for money,
and she wanted more, she wanted Hollywood,
and she wanted the stars to lift her to the heavens,
She wanted the high life and flew high above,
But he brought another girl to spend his million...

Mardi Gras1, where do you come from?

We come from England, oh my dear,
Oh my dear,

Oh my dear,
There is only half a glass,
All around the bottom of the glass.

All around the bottom of the glass.
 
There are only the dregs, oh my dear
Oh my dear,
There are only the dregs,
All around the bottom of the glass.
 
And the dregs, we won't drink, oh my dear,
Oh my dear,
And the dregs, we won't drink,
All around the bottom of the glass.

We ask you for a little something
We ask you for the oldest daughter
We're going to make her do something nice
We're going to make her warm up her feet3

The Mardi Gras Song of Basile

Captain:
Captain, captain,
Wave your flag and move your group along.
 
Chorus:
All round about the hub. 
 
Captain:
The road is great, 
the night is long,
and women aren't invited.
It's Mardi Gras,
it just once a year
to ask for charity.
Once a year,
it's not too often
for you anyway.
 
Chorus:
It's hip, it's hip, it's hop,
and my dear fellow.
It's hip, it's hip, it's hop,
and my dear fellow.
 
Captain:
It's the Mardi Gras
It comes from far
It comes from England.
 
Chorus:
All round about the hub.
 
Captain:
It's the Mardi Gras
It's all the good young people,
The good young people that
Come from good families.
 
Chorus:
All round about the hub.
 
Captain:
They are not troublemakers.
They're just beggars.
 
Chorus:
It's hip, it's hip, it's hop,
and my dear fellow.
It's hip, it's hip, it's hop,
and my dear fellow.
 
Captain:
The Mardi Gras
Asks the mistress,
The mistress for
a small fat hen
and rice or fat.
 
Chorus:
All round about the hub
To make their giant gumbo
tonight in Grand Basile.
 
Chorus:
It's hip, it's hip, it's hop,
and my dear fellow.
It's hip, it's hip, it's hop,
and my dear fellow.
 
Captain:
You would promise me this,
You would promise me that,
but you won't give it to me.
 
Chorus:
All round about the hub.
It's hip, it's hip, it's hop,
and my dear fellow.
It's hip, it's hip, it's hop,
and my dear fellow.
 
Captain:
Captain, captain
The savages,
they can sing no longer
because their throat is dry.
 
Chorus:
All round about the hub.
 
Captain:
A good small cold beer 
would make them sing better.
 
Chorus:
It's hip, it's hip, it's hop,
and my dear fellow.
It's hip, it's hip, it's hop,
and my dear fellow
 

The Mosquitoes Have Eaten Up My Darling

Mosquitoes have eat up my darling,
They only left the big toes,
This is to make corks,
It's to seal my half full bottles.
 
Your father looks like an elephant,
And your mother looks like a car,
And your little brother looks like a bullfrog,
Your little sister looks like the corner of the sidewalk.
 

Summer days with you

A young girl stares at a motorcycle traveling across the shoreline​
The sunlight peeks through her straw-hat, dazzlingly brightening her face
 
In the white hand that I extended lies a fragment of the earth
I hand it over to you and a tiny heartbeat comes alive
 
A contrail stretched out in the wide sky
I break into a run as a new hope is pressed down by the wind
I shall cross over the contrail and go on a search
I run ahead without looking back
to the summer days I had with you
 
Your figure as you look up at the blue sky resembles a blooming field
You shouted loudly and gently smiled at me
 
The shore being in high spirits, showed me its tears
The white waves washing ashore erased my footprints
 
The silver colored ocean has an orange shine
I make a wish to the first evening star that we would surely meet again
If I were to listen closely to the sound of the waves breaking on the shore
It's as if I hear a love song saying「embrace me…」
that eternally resounds
 
As we seemed to lose sight of each other we linked our hands
The fireworks illuminate the two of us
I want to conceal my throbbing heart forever
 
A contrail stretched out in the wide sky
I break into a run as a new hope is pressed down by the wind
I shall cross over the contrail and go on a search
I run ahead without looking back
to the summer days I had with you
 

What is the matter

What is the matter?
What is
Going on
In this mind of yours?
 
What is the matter?
What
Do I lack
That prevents me from getting to know you better?
 
So that I can receive you without a shock
So that I can perceive you
With the touch of my hands
In your heart
 
What is the matter?
Why haven't you in such a long time
Sought my shoulder to cry on?
Why is that?
 
Why is that so that this fire
Does not burn what it has to burn?
That we don't love
What there is for us to love
That the sun is setting
And we don't let go
Of this anguish in our glance ah ah ah
 
Call me, do not let me escape
Fill my empty spaces
Pull me from this anxiety
Nurture me, calm me down
In your soft arms
Soft arms!
 
What is the matter?
What is going on
With my head?
No, I do not know
What is the matter?
 
Call me, do not let me escape
Fill my empty spaces
Pull me from this anxiety
Nurture me, calm me down
In your soft arms
 
What is the matter?
What is the matter?
What is the matter?
 

Laughter one day, crying in the other

A song that comes from an autumn dream
In the solitude of march's color, my bedroom
Maybe a last cigarrete, I feel a burning
Until it's time to sleep.
 
The pain that exists in every waiting, awakens
The love that in every late night, vanishes
In a to and fro motion that does not change, in the world
I make a toast to celebrate the last departure.
 
A day she laughs, without a reason why
Then cries afterwards, because of a desire
And it's always the same each time
A great love
 
One day she goes, in the other she comes
And if she stays, she leaves as well
Life is like that
One day the laughter, in the other the pain
 
For the love that burning today like a fever, warms me
Or that tomorrow opens a wound in me, and gets cold
I know that one more suffering, and time
Will help me to forgive
 
And I go on saying 'I love you so much' to so many
And go on turning new pages, the faces
Of this adventure novel of mine, the escapes
That go on marking my life.
 
A day she laughs, without a reason why
Then cries afterwards, because of a desire
And it's always the same each time
A great love
 
One day she goes, in the other she comes
And if she stays, she leaves as well
Life is like that
One day the laughter, in the other the pain
 

They don't allow me to love

That we meet in secret
that we meet in secret
says the city gossip
says the city gossip
 
They found out about us
how will go forward, my love?
we won't lose hope
we won't lose hope
 
Ref.
We aren't bothering anyone
leave us alone, people
what did we ever do to anyone
to deserve our love being forbidden?
have you a heart?
 
My heart is in love
my heart is in love
sending you a message
sending you a message
 
But what will we do
to save our love?
how will we go forward?
how will we go forward?
 
Ref.
 
They don't allow me to love
they don't allow me to love
do you know that, my love?
do you know that, my love?
 
Never leave me
come closer, embrace me
we're stronger together
we're stronger together
 
Ref.
 

The Cold Teardrop

Whenever Chico Sanfoneiro gets excited
Everyone1 slips2 into the forro3 which never ends
It goes on until the sweet morning
[And Zeca dies of fury]
It goes on until the sweet morning
[And Zeca dies of fury]
 
It's that Rosa, so sinful
In the hall wishes to end
It's that Rosa, so sinful
In the hall wishes to end
And Chico, full of prose
[He doesn't live up to his reputation of singing to thousands]
And Chico, full of prose
[He doesn't live up to his reputation of singing to thousands]
 
I like her, she's my love
[But she turns me down]
I like her, she's my love
[But she turns me down]
He says it blind, almost crying
[Playing his viola]
And repeats, almost crying
[Playing his viola]
 
What culture, what culture can there be?
A brave guy like Zeca da Viola
What culture can there be?
[If the guy didn't go to school]
What culture can there be?
[If the guy didn't go to school]
 
His song, though, is strong
His speed is to appreciate
His song, though, is strong
His speed is to appreciate
So that Rosa understands him
[The viola will tell him]
So that Rosa understands him
[The viola will tell him]
 
I like her, she's my love
[But she turns me down]
I like her, she's my love
[But she turns me down]
He says it blind, almost crying
[Playing his viola]
And repeats, almost crying
[Playing his viola]
 
And Chico couldn't believe
That Zeca da Viola with his song was so good
But when [Chico] heard him singing
[A cold teardrop fell]
But when he heard him singing
[A cold teardrop fell]
And [in sadness] he understood
[That Rosa changed color]
And [in sadness] he understood
[That Rosa changed color]
 
Ohhhhhh, Chicago
Chico I like her
I like her, like her.

Fifteenth night

Versions: #2
The look in my eyes is lonely, one of a lost child's
My chest aches from the marks of your love
Darkness comes over like a fleet of bomber crafts
And really, I never ask what the cost will be
 
The fifteenth night comes again with its nightmares
And everything, except life, is in vain
It's hard to always have faith in men
When humanity is committing a suicide
 
(chorus)
I look at the world with you
And dream the same dream
Like a lunatic, I shout after my love!
I make myself comfortable in your embrace
 
And if you'll just allow me, I'll stay for the night
And when the morning comes, I don't know where I'm waking up.
 
The wind whistles through my head, from south to north
I'm alone at the ruins of my thoughts
Words will always rattle into the void
And once again the cloak of agony is on my shoulders.
 
chorus
 
The fifteenth night, it always comes back around
Once again I notice two weeks have slipped out of my mind
There's sand of a deserted beach left on my skin
It might be that I'll get some sleep at last.
 
chorus x 2
 

Red spider lily

That there's a sadness that doesn't become tears
Right now I found out
Wondering why happiness doesn't take shape
Right now is gloomy
That letter for you
I can't remember how it ended
Where do I draw the line?
When the flowers by the window bloomed?
When the dead flowers fell?
No. When you loved me.
 
A red spider lily is a woman in love
A red spider lily. The sinfulness
That dye even the white flowers red
 
Waiting devotedly for untrustable promises
I'm doing it now however
Running devotedly after the tenderness that doesn't become words
I'm doing it now however
Those thoughts towards to you
I wonder how far they go
Yourself is too much for me to handle
When the flowers on the desk shook?
When the smell of the flowers reached me?
No. When you loved me.
 
A red spider lily is a woman in love
A red spider lily. The sinfulness
Burning her life completely
 
A red spider lily is a woman in love
A red spider lily. The sinfulness
That dye even the white dreams red

Stalemate situation

To want to break up with him
Is something I can't do
Loving him
Is something I do too
 
The evening falls at the café
She bites a white handkerchief
Shining in her ring finger
Her silver ring flips me out
 
There he is, he came late
He told us to calm down
Three people in a stalemate situation
 
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Make up your mind!
Make up your mind!
Make up your mind!
I can't go on like this
Between her and me, who you choose?
 
A rose in between the flowers
She moves hiding her tears
Her lips seen in a glimpse
Shiver together with the coffee cup
 
There he is, addressing us
He told us that he loves us both
We're in a stalemate situation
 
Come on, come on, come on, come on
You made up your mind!
You made up your mind!
You made up your mind!
I can't go on like this
I've been defeated by the depth of her tears
bye bye bye bye I can't go on like this
bye bye bye bye I can't go on like this

In my throat
Is a bowl of sorrow-
Not a giggle.
I see-
Trailing with a slashed wrist,
Of your own
Bones
You are rocking the bag.
-Enough!
Stop it!
Have you lost your mind?
So,
On your cheeks
Must be spilled
The mortal chalk?
Yours
At such things
They were skillful,
As to another one
No other one
It was impossible.
Why?
What for?
I am split by perplexity.
Critics mutter
-It comes from alcohol
This…
And that…
But first,
Not enough ties,
And last
A lot of beer and wine-
To say,
You would have exchange
Bohemia
For the class,
Entangled by the class,
You would have stop fighting.
But, the class itself
When thirsty
Is it not drinking kvass?
So far-the class
To have drunk is not dumb.
To say,
To you had been added
Someone of “Na Pastou”-
Would have put
To the content
Far more value.
You would have
Per day
Written
A hundred lines
Painfully
And slowly,
Like Dorodine.
As to me,
If is realized
Such a frenzy,
You would have to yourself
Earlier slashed your wrist.
Far better
Of vodka dying,
Than of boredom.
Don’t explain
To ourselves
The source of losses
Neither the hanging loop,
Nor the little knife.
May be,
Would have been
Some ink at the “England”,
Your veins
To cut
Would have been no reason.
Imitators rejoiced
Encore!
To himself
Not least a platoon
Has done justice.
So why
To increase
The number of suicides?
Better
Pushing up
The production of ink!
For ever
From now on
The tongue
Is sticking to the teeth.
Is heavy
And inopportune
To cultivate mysteries.
People,
Creator of language,
Has lost
A loud
Debauchee apprentice.
And are brought
Rudely tied up lines,
Out of previous
Funerals
Nearly without change.
On a hill
Dumb rhymes
With a stick to plant-
Should we
A poet
Respect in such a way?
At you
Still no memorial,
Where are,
The sound of bronze,
Or the grain of granite?
Already
Has been piled up
Of dedications
And souvenirs the trash.
Your first name
Blown up in handkerchiefs,
Your verb
Spluttered by Sobinov
Who expires
Under a puny birch-
“No more a word
O my fri- iend,
No more si-igh”.
Ah,
Having spoken in another way
To this
Leonide Lohengrid-whatever!
We should here burst
Into a loud scandal:
-I don’t bear
To chew verses
Nor to offend them!-
Should be stunt
Those people
By blowing three fingers whistle
To grand-mother
And god spirit should go mother!
For destroying
Untalented dirtiness
Inflating
With darkness
The sails of jackets,
For
In all directions
Exploded Kogan,
Those he meets
Mutilating
With moustaches’ spikes.
Rubbish
Right now
Has slowly faded.
Has done a lot
To only arrived at it.
We must
The life
First to rebuild,
In doing so-
We can celebrate.
That time-
Is uneasy to the pen,
But tell
You
Lame and cripple,
Where
When,
Who, to be great, chose
A lane,
That would be crowded
And minor?
Word-
Is marshal
To human forces.
March!
That age be
From behind
With cannonballs spread out.
Of old days
By the wind
Be blown away
A sole
Lock.
 
To be happy
Planet Earth
Is unfit.
We have to
Strip
Joy
Out of days to come.
In this life
To die
Is no difficulty.
Building future life
Far more difficult.

but they let you know what they seen
so you evaluated it

They say i´m crazy
Rumours In town say that I go out with everybody.

Rumours in town say. rumours in town say,
and I´m not alive.
 
Night, hundred of maniacs

Memories of Ypacaraí

On another beautiful night we met
Together at the blue Ypacaraí Lake1
You were singing sad along the way
Old melodies in Guarani2.
 
And in that sweet blend of those songs
There love being born in me again
And in the night filled with enchantment
Of your soft hands, I felt the warmth
And love turned into a thousand caresses.
 
Where are you now, darling
For your sweet song doesn't come to me
Where are you now, my soul awaits with frenzy
 
Everything reminds me of our love
Together at the blue Ypacaraí Lake
Everything reminds you, my love calls you, darling.

It's Not True

It's not true
that our love
is ending.
 
It's not true
that so much love
is being lost.
 
Know
I'm kissing you
and it's true
I'm feeling you.
 
Don't doubt anymore
for I love you the same
as yesterday
or more perhaps than yesterday.
 
It's not true
that our love
is coming to the end1.
 
It's not true
forget it
for it's not true.
 
It could be
that I went on forgetting
to say
that I'm loving you.
 
But love
is much more, darling
without speaking
only without speaking.
 
It's not true
that our love
is coming to the end.
 
It's not true
forget it
for it's not true.
 
la, la, la, la, la, la.

Ballad on a Day in July

The oxen carry
Sterling silver.
 
Where are you going, my girl,
Of sun and snow?
 
        I'm going to the daisies
 
       of the green meadow.
 
The meadow is far away
And he has fear.
 
To (the god) Airón and to the Shade
 
       My love does not fear.
 
Fear the sun, my child,
Of sun and snow.
 
He left my hair
 
       Forever.
 
Who are you, white girl?
Where do you come from?
 
I come from the loves
 
       And from the fountains.
 
The oxen carry
Sterling silver.
 
What are you wearing in your mouth
that lights you up?
 
The star of my lover
 
       Who lives and dies.
 
What are you wearing on your chest
So fine and light?
 
        The sword of my lover
 
       Who lives and dies.
 
What are you wearing in your eyes,
Black and solemn?
 
        My sad thought
 
       That always hurts.
 
Why are you wearing a cloak
of Black Death?
 
        Alas, I am the widow
 
       Sad and without assets!
 
       From the Earl of Laurel
 
       of the Laurels.
 
Who are you looking for here
If you want nobody?
 
I'm looking for the Count
of the Laurel's body
 
Are you looking for love,
Aleve wink?
You are looking for a love
I hope you find.
 
Stars of the sky
 
       They are my wants,
 
       Where will I find my lover
 
       Who lives and dies?
 
Is he dead in the water,
Snow girl,
Covered with nostalgia
And of carnations.
 
Oh! errant knight
 
       From the cypresses,
 
       My soul offers you
A moonlit night
 
       
Ah dreamy Isis,
Girl without honeys
The one in children's mouths
Your story pours.
 
I offer you my heart,
Dim heart,
Wounded by the eyes
of women.
 
        Galant knight,
 
       With God you stay.
I'm going to look for the count
 
       Of the Laurels ...
 
Goodbye my little maid,
Sleeping rose,
You go for love
And I to death.
 
The oxen carry
Sterling silver
 
My heart bleeds
like a fountain.
 

Heartquake (Is Farewell Easy For You?)

Farewell, is it easy for you?
 
(I Hate You) (I Miss You)
 
Shit man, I do feel so sorry
'Bout to say something what - uh
It’s obvious since you do everything hastily
Always going up and down with our love easily at your lips
As a person, I already received a lot of pains from you
So how do you want me to quickly
Send you a report of our breakup?
Only being able to flip a few pages of a book that we were going to read
Now our recently started love meets farewell faster than memories
Even if you take all the blame, I have nothing to say
Saying that i wish that there were no memories
I have nothing else to say
Love of a celebrity… It’s always like this...
 
My broken heart (Girl)
When we loved you shook my heart (Girl)
Now when we’re breaking up, you break that heart
When you smash apart the heart that loved you
It h-h-h-h-hurts so much
How am I supposed to live? (Girl)
Is it the end once you leave like this? (Oh~)
Don’t you know that wounds that you gave me? Can’t you think of me who’s crying?
It h-h-h-h-hurts so much, me, who has become alone
Is farewell easy for you?
 
(I Hate You) (I Miss You)
 
I drink every night to comfort my day
Having nowhere to go, my heart hurts, hurts
The moment that the memories with you become buried in pictures
Why do you leave, leave
Leaving my heart in pain
Can’t you hear my heart? It’s crying out to you...
If you tell me to die, I’ll die, I need you to live
I even gave you all of my heart..
Now expressions, spaces of our relationship
What kind of problems make you so hard and
Sad and weak
Even you’re better than thousands of people, it’s merely a moment
Even then, those feelings become merely a picture in the heart after a few days
It’s easier than you think
Me, who looked at the one whom I truly loved leaving
More than that...
The story that’s like a sad move
My story
 
You who destroyed everything and left
 
My broken heart (Girl)
When we loved you shook my heart (Girl)
Now when we’re breaking up, you break that heart
When you smash apart the heart that loved you
It h-h-h-h-hurts so much
How am I supposed to live? (Girl)
Is it the end once you leave like this? (Oh~)
Don’t you know that wounds that you gave me? Can’t you think of me who’s crying?
It h-h-h-h-hurts so much, me, who has become alone
 
If you’re going to leave me like this, take everything and go
Even the yearning for the happy memories that will slowly start to annoy me
Even the love that remains in my heart
 
Is farewell easy for you (Girl)
When we loved you shook my heart (Girl)
Now when we’re breaking up
Even after you’ve smashed apart the heart that loved me
Don’t you know the h-h-h-h-hurt?
Can you endure it? (Girl)
Is it the end once you leave like this? (Ih~)
Are you going to hurt someone else? Can’t you think of me who’s crying?
It h-h-h-h-hurts so much, me, who has become alone
 
Wake up, fool, you’re not my person
Nw we can’t even go back to before
You know it too, my heart that looked at only you, only you
I should have said it earlier
Even though I repeated it countless times
“Sorry.. I love you..” even though I put those words in my mouth repeatedly
I should have said it earlier, even though I repeated it countless times
Yeah.. The person who’s me is like this..

Crazy
I think I'm empty without you
I'm crazy
Crazy without you
 
You
Everything for me
and you
forever in heart.
 
Love
You melt this heart
Longings
where are you.
 
Crazy
I think I'm empty without you
I'm crazy

I'm crazy
without you
and I'm crazy
Because of you.
 
Crazy
I think I'm empty without you
I'm crazy
my love
I'm crazy
without you
and I'm crazy because of you.
 

Fate

If we knew what will come tomorrow
If we guessed the course of events
What kind of a ball is fate preparing
If funeral or a carnival
And the secret meaning of guessing
Hints, signs and marks
What the fate promises us to understand
There are questions but not answers
 
Fate, fate
Good or evil, hangman or judge
What is in your fate
Written to you, say
Fate, fate, fate, fate
Good or evil, hangman or judge
What you hide in the dark
Only you know
 
Friends, I want to know why
The fate plays game with me
Why all the time I can hear it
Breathing on my back
Why the fate inspires the fear
Threatening to take away its gifts
We are just toys in its hands
And the results of the game
 
Fate, fate
Good or evil, hangman or judge
What is in your fate
Written to you, say
Fate, fate, fate, fate
Good or evil, hangman or judge
What you hide in the dark
Only you know
 
Fate, fate
Good or evil, hangman or judge
Fate, fate, fate, fate
Good or evil, hangman or judge
Fate, fate
Fate
 

Accidentally fell in love with you so much

Accidentally fell in love with you so much, i can't do anything but watch the rain
Through bushes, the number of raindrops i counted
Are as many as the times I'm missing you in my mind
Accidentally fell in love with you so much, i can't do anything but count the stars
Looking up the sky, the number of stars i counted
Are as many concerns in my mind
Afraid that i will lose you when fall comes, green leaves suddenly turn brown
When the rain hasn't come, you love someone else
Afraid that i will let you fade away in the middle of chaotic life
Babe, wait for me
(I just want to tell you that)
 
Because i love you so much, i don't dare to promise a lot
Just close your eyes and feel my love
No matter how sunny, rainy or what season it is
My love will always be here
You don't have to find it anywhere else
Still keep our own sky
To let the wind carry it to a solitary place
 
Accidentally fell in love with you so much that i only focused on it
Even if we're not going to be together tomorrow and after
Even if my heart breaks when you just fall in love with someone else
Accidentally fell in love with you so much, i don't care about anything
Even rain, thunderstorm, the deep river, the vast ocean
Or even the burning sun could not wear me down
Afraid that i will lose you when fall comes, green leaves suddenly turn brown
Babe, wait for me
(I just want to tell you that)
 
Because i love you so much, i don't dare to promise alot
Just close your eyes and feel my love
No matter how sunny, rainy or what season it is
My love will always be here
You don't have to find it anywhere else
Still keep our own sky
To let the wind carry it to a solitary place
 
I'm in love with you..nah nah nah
U know, I'm in love with you...nah nah nah
I love you so, babe i love you so
We need to walk slowly as tomorrow will be a long day
Accidentally loved...nah nah nah
I love you so, babe i love you so
We need to walk slowly, slowly
 
Who knows, waking in the morning
You are not gonna be here hugging me and kissing me gently
Leaving our love flows apathetically
Waiting for thunderstorm and hurricane to sweep away unexpectedly
And who knows, when dream doesn't come true
When you are not beside me, our love is not so strong
One of us keeps looking and waiting, the other keeps dreaming
 
Because i love you so much, i don't dare to promise alot
(I don't dare to promise anything no no no no)
Just close your eyes and feel my love
(Can you feel my love, love babe?)
(Even how many seasons past, i will still be here)
My love will always be here
You don't have to find it anywhere else
Still keep our own sky
To let the wind carry it to a solitary place
(I love you so
Love you so
Love you so
I love you so..)
Accidentally loved..because one has accidentally loved, accidentally love..
 

Yours

The beauty of the flowers attracts the bees
You, you attract the gentlemen
But if springtime the flowers return the same
You, you have only a spring.
 
Yours, yours
There are flowers on the earth
Yours, yours
There are also dreams.
 

Crazy

Crazy
It's a great loneliness
And I'm crazy
Heart's no longer in the mood
I knew
I love you very much
But someday
I'd leave you too.
 
Worry
I'm always worrying
Wondrin '
What's wrong with you?
 
Crazy
Imagine your love is real
Crazy over hope
Crazy over [crying]
And crazy I am, for loving you.
 

A La La Lazy Life

We live a decent life you'd think
Have sex once a month or so
Our only source of grief
is that our dog Snuffe is dead
 
A la la lazy life
A la la lazy life
 
I guess I am pretty satisfied with my wage
and that I have chosen a wife from a weaker sex
 
One is surely almost Christian
One should surely have some faith
 
A la la lazy life
A la la lazy life
Sure there is quarrel
Even in a lazy life
 
When the grass is growing, I cut it
The wife cuts the children's hair
Sometimes I have thought about leaving it all
But that will have to be enough with me
I am doing well as I am
I am doing well as I am
 
La la la la la
A la la lazy life
A la la lazy life
Sure there is quarrel
Even in a lazy life
 
A la la lazy life
A la la lazy life
La la la la la la la la la...
