With These Looks

I don't know,
madam, why you think badly of me.
I don't know,
madam, what they have told you.
 
Your daughter and I,
madam, we got married for love.
I know that you
dreamt of a good catch, something better.
 
Madam, what do you know...
You were only concerned
about finding no matter who
with favorable status.
 
Madam, who was going to tell you
you'd have a son-in-law like this:
Adventurer and dreamer,
with looks like this.
 
You say,
Madam, that I'm an opportunist,
and it's that you,
Madam, have judged me without reason.

From a Strange World

When they speak to you about love and about illusions
and they offer you a sun and an entire sky,
if you remember me, don't mention me
because you will feel real love.
 
And if they want to know of your past
it's necessary to tell a lie.
Say that your come from out there, from a strange world,
that you don't know how to cry, that you don't understand love
and that you have never loved.
 
Because I, where I'm going,
will speak of your love
like a golden dream
and forgetting the resentment
I won't say your goodbye
left me unhappy.
 
And if they want to know of my past
it's necessary to lie again.
I'll tell them that I came from a strange world,
that I don't know of pain, that I triumphed in love
and that I've never cried.

You left because of a mistake

You left because of a mistake,
you don't want to understand
that truly I love you
and you don't want to come back.
 
There's sadness in my soul,
Anguish in my existence,
Forgive me if you love me
like you used to say, until death do us part.*
Forgive me if you love me
like yoou used to say, until death do us part.
 
God**, you who can make it happen,
you know how I suffer,
make my lover come back
and understand that it was a mistake.
 
Then when we're together
I ask you to give us your blessing
I want us to come together soon
eternally in understanding.
 
Then when we're together
I ask you to give us your blessing,
I want us to come together soon
eternally in understanding.
 
Remember the pact
that we made one time:
To love eachother forever
when we met,
but today it's incomprehensible
that you left because of a mistake,
You don't want to hear me out,
You leave me suffering
 
God, you who can make it happen,
you know how I suffer,
make my lover come back
and understand that it was a mistake.
 
Then when we're together
I ask you to give us your blessing,
I want us to come together soon
eternally in understanding.
 
Then when we're together
I ask you to give us your blessing,
I want us to come together soon

Morning Comes After Every Night

Lara, lararalaila, larararaira, lararalaila,
Lara, lararalaila, larala, laralará.
Lara, lararalaila, larararaira, lararalaila,
Lara, lararalaila, larala, laralará.
 
Far, endlessly far often is the way in front of me,
far, endlessly far happiness that overcomes loneliness.
Today we still know nothing about us two,
you are, like me, still alone,
but no one can escape one's fate,
I know, once you will stand before me.
 
Morning comes after every night,
happiness comes, would you have thought?
Rain washes the sky,
my beautiful dream will once come true.
 
Morning comes after every night,
happiness comes, would you have thought?
Rain washes the sky,
my beautiful dream will once come true.
 
Lara, lararalaila, larararaira, lararalaila,
Lara, lararalaila, larala, laralará.
Lara, lararalaila, larararaira, lararalaila,
Lara, lararalaila, larala, laralará.
 
Like the river the sea, so I'll find you
Like the stars move, so you'll find me.
I believe: somewhere you exist,
somewhere you too just wait for me,
as no one can escape one's fate.
I know, once you will stand before me.
 
Morning comes after every night,
happiness comes, would you have thought?
Rain washes the sky,
my beautiful dream will once come true...

“I waited for tonight boy”
Then I’ll slowly teach you what to do next

To me, special place and even now ye
 
We’re gonna fly away
I’ll go anywhere for you
Take you somewhere far away
I’ll be by your side babe
 
Be excited
I’m ready
take you somewhere far way
take you somewhere special babe
 

120107 (on a study trip)

I've never enjoyed myself in any fucking lockers, I didn't know what it was but something about strict limits gets me nervious
You are this and you are that and not that many question their locker, because without one you don't have a place
Tabula rasa, fucking take a pile of pills! Lost, in safety I grow over the limits, no more small minded people. I can't fit there. It's shit.
You tell me you're lost and a worse snitch comes to mock, to laugh at your broken pieces, fuck I first thought I'll kill him there and then. I notices that I looked at myself before, and I realized that this dude understands fucking nothing. Fucking schoolyard bullies, I'm not good enough for you. In this cold air there's no space to grow.
 
It would be nice to hurt someone who hurts others, but I swore I wouldn't hurt anymore. You see that everything is not ok, you should open your arms and not hurt anymore. He who loses himself finds himself. It's always easy to point, satan, but you seem to be on a study trip too.
 
I remember when I first found a conscience. What are these bitching feelings? I thought I was gay. 'What the fuck do you care about those, you beat them like before, or are you a bitch?' We've gotten here from those times, I remember getting wasted in the park, some stayed to do drugs like some macho men. I ran away from home, when I came back I realized it was never my home. I look at a grown up little kid, if I had stayed I'd be there. Broken, put together from pieces, bloody and sweaty from growing pains. It's so simple but hard to understand, to dig from under the shitty feeling. You would support me when I break, I'd support you when you break, and we would be just fine
 
It would be nice to hurt someone who hurts others, but I swore I wouldn't hurt anymore. You see that everything is not ok, you should open your arms and not hurt anymore. He who loses himself finds himself. It's always easy to point, satan, but you seem to be on a study trip too.
 
From weakness we travel to strength, from strength to sickness. Matti is worried, asking if it's normal, scared. Normal is an average value, Matti, Do you want to be average, Matti? To be good enough for others when you're not even good enough for others, to not judge anybody, it could be you. So many times I've had to hold on to the bed so that I wouldn't jump from the balcony into hell. I pay for the trauma I've caused, I don't even dare to go to the class meetings. Not even mentioning the little princesses that I ruined on the way. Some higher power could throw into my brain some storms, after them I'll be happy that I'm even standing up, I'll hug the homeless and stop bullying gays, give empathy to junkies, people pushed down, people opressed.

White Christmas

Sweet is singing the angel choir
Christmas
and outside, the snow trickles silently.
Festively shine candles, in all hearts
pass away grief today and sore.
 
Sweet sounds the bell tone, Christmas
the feast of love is here now.
And a single wish comes,
it would always be peace on earth.
 
Dab dab dab dab dab dab dab dab
dab dab dab dab dab dab dab dab
 
Festively shine candles, in all hearts
pass away grief today and sore.
 
Dab dab dab dab dab dab dab dab

And a single wish
comes,
it would always be peace on earth.

Promise Me

Everyone says it's a lie that I love you
because never [before] has anyone seen me in love
I promise even I don't understand
why I always follow your call.
 
When I'm near you you're happy
I didn't want you to think of anything
I have jealousy even the thought
that you['ll remember] to love somebody else.
 
Promise me
that even with the passing of time
you won't forget the moment
that I met you.
 
Look at me
for there is nothing more profound
nor greater in the whole world
than the affection there's in me.
 
Kiss me
with a passionate kiss
like I've never been kissed
Since the day I was born.
 
Love me
love me even to madness
and like that you will see the bitterness
that I'm suffering over you.

In the valley it gets quiet

In the valley it gets quiet, 'cause the night wants to come,
a star shines over the house.
The day falls asleep, a dream is waving at you,
so quickly turn of all the lights !
 
The wind promises you very quietly
that it will take you for a ride.
It sings you its song,
but then it gets tired
and slips away through the backdoor.
 
Iaiaia iaiaia iaiaia iaiaia
Iaiaia iaiaia iaiaia iaiaia
 
In the valley it gets quiet, 'cause the night wants to come,
now tell the wind what do you wish!
It has counted all the wishes in the whole world
and knows there are millions of them.
 
It knows about the big and small one,
knows about your and mine.
It sings you its song,
but then it gets tired
and slips away through the backdoor.

And come to me

If some day you think you cannot go on, and give up, feeling lost,
if your friends are suddenly gone and you realize you were cheated,
if suddenly nothing works anymore, then trust me, I'm here for you.
If the whole world is against you, then think of me, whenever you miss someone.
 
And come to me...
And come to me...
And come to me...
 
If the night attacks you in your room and loneliness is not a friend,
if you're worried again because you are afraid of the morning that is so dark
If suddenly nothing works anymore, then trust me, I'm here for you.
If the whole world is against you, then think of me, whenever you miss someone.
 
And come to me...
And come to me...
And come to me...
 
If love forgets you and you're sad and you do not want to hear anything about it,
if you don't even look into the mirror and you can't see yourself anymore, then trust me.
If suddenly nothing works anymore, then trust me, I'm here for you.
If the whole world is against you, then think of me, whenever you miss someone.
 
And come to me...
And come to me...
And come to me...

June and July

In your blue eyes
I'm swimming with the dolphins
Azure color in them
Like on the Maldives
 
I dive into those eyes
To get some rest
There's a black pearl there
Where your pupil lies
 
The salt on your skin is calling again
For us to be together
This salt will disappear like the messages in a bottle
Which the sea has carried away
 
Chorus
Jun and July are passing by, but without you
I'm still waiting for you
Like the Sun waits for the North
 
The Moon is full, the crowd is here
Drunk a bit
Ever since you've left
The time has stopped
 
They're dancing around the fire
Choosing one another
The guitars that are playing for the
Are touching my soul
 
I know that tonight
Someone worse than me is kissing you
And I'll break everything around here
Who mentions your name
 
The salt on your skin is calling again
For us to be together
This salt will disappear like the messages in a bottle
Which the sea has carried away
 
Chorus
Jun and July are passing by, but without you
I'm still waiting for you
Like the Sun waits for the North
 
The Moon is full, the crowd is here
Drunk a bit
Ever since you've left
The time has stopped
 
How much I've loved you
You're lips are not worth my pain
 
Every swallowed tear burns the heart
Sleep tight in a city that runs
 
Jun and July are passing by, but without you
I'm still waiting for you like the Sun waits for the North
 
The Moon is full, the crowd is here, drunk a bit
Ever since you've left the time has stopped
 

I was

Now I know that you don’t want to be with me…
Now I know that I can’t live like this, I mean,
In this uncertainty, among the lies…
Among those disgusting lies!
I don’t understand it. What separated us?
Too bad that the love turned out to be unfaithful.
Too bad that I won’t be alive to see it
what really was before me…
 
Ref.
I was… Only for that, so you’d be with me… still stayed with me here…
I was… Only for that, so we could reach, could reach with you stars…
I was… Only for that, so you’d believe me, believe I’m not afar
I was… Only for that, so I’d be close to you, still be close to you!
 
Still be close to you!
 
I feel sorry for those days, where I let you to possess
every moment every moment you destroyed. I guess,
I still hate your arms with which you were painting our goodbye.
I still hate your words which left nothing else but only ice.
 
Don’t know why I was so naïve at that time and let you totally win it…
Don’t know what is the reason I left myself to you, at least a half of me…
Maybe it’s time to forget your existence?
Love wasn’t there, in distance…
Maybe it’s time to find out what I keep looking?
What I keep looking?
 
(I was…)

I was… Only for that, so you’d be with me… still stayed with me here…

I was… Only for that, so I’d be close to you, still be close to you!

Paradise

Orinda:
Sweat on cold nights
Dripping from the warmth of the bodies,
It feels as if it was just a dream,
Not an instance (I) experienced
How many words were said sweetly
And how much lips were trembling
Could we have seen paradise maybe?
Our successors wouldn't believe us
 
Flori:
Many poetry lines were said
That many poets searched for
It wasn't our fault, neither you nor me
From the depth of our hearts (they) flew
(I) search for words to tell you how much I am feeling
Like poets, I too am wrong
There are very few magical words in life
I love you,
I adore you
 
Elvana:
It's me
The one who feels you the most, who feels you the most
With the blankness that surrounds me
You are my lights, that blinds me
You are, you are, you are, it's only you
 
Julka:
I want your beauty
When you wake up in the morning
Your kisses give life to me
My body longs for your scent
I love you, I love you but it is not enough
It is not enough to me.
 
I love you,
I love you,
I love you but it is not enough
It is not enough...
Could we have seen paradise?
Our successors would not believe us

Rebel Love

Once, in spring, you found out that a life is true if there's love.
Until the right man comes, live your freedom recklessness.
 
Rebel soul,
Sun on your skin
Shirt and skinny jeans to sign the sex to challenge who.
 
Rebel soul
Eyes like stars
A rarity
You say something
You are embarrassed about the virginity
 
You are 20 and you're not a woman, but easily you open your arms.
But love has an identity, ans the only the moments have no age
 
Rebel soul,
Sun on your skin
Shirt and skinny jeans to sign the sex to challenge who.
 
Rebel soul
Eyes like stars
A rarity
You say something
You are embarrassed about the virginity

Can't Live Like This

From so much feeling the skin burn,
From so much shouting 'I love you' to the stars,
and then to betray your loyalty,
I played around with happiness.
 
From so much saying [']well[',] knowing that it's bad,
from so much spying on those who go down, those who go out,
I've forgotten about life and love
and the little things I [once] had in my heart.
 
Can't live like this. Can't live like this.
Can't live like this. Can't live like this.
 
From so much travelling by sky and by sea,
from so much seeing and then not observing,
and to get to [be] number one,
I only think of myself and don't believe in anyone.
 
From so much night changing into day,
from so much warning: 'Tonight I won't return',
I've forgotten about life and love
and the little things I [once] had in my heart.
 
Can't live like this. Can't live like this.
Can't live like this. Can't live like this.
 
From time to sleep in a strange bed,
from so much dreaming a dream not true,
I sold this soul of mine
but only to transistor [radios] and to a record collection.
 
From so much accepting those who count and aren't worth it,
from so much following a trivial world,
I've forgotten about life and love
and the little things I [once] had in my heart.
 
Can't live like this. Can't live like this.
Can't live like this. Can't live like this.

Today the city dresses itself
in [its] Sunday raiment and has
make itself beautiful for you, Manuela.
Roses bloom from
Asphalt and concrete,
The air is filled with music, Manuela.
 
I go through the park,
Here the trees waved at me
And rustle gently, Manuela.
High in the sky
White clouds write your
Name in the blue, Manuela.
Too bad, that no one sees,
And only I alone know
What today is happening, Manuela.
 
In the stars it is written:
Blessed are only those who love.
That which we long dreamed
That which we long yearned,
Today will finally come true, Manuela.

No one is dancing,
Because there is a party, Manuela.
A thousands flowers the
Wind tears off the branches,
Brings them to you as a greeting, Manuela.

Blue

Why do you sit here silent?
Take what you know and run.
There when you fall asleep, nobody asks what goal you'd like to have.
 
Again that fear will wake a new day.
 
Home is warm until morning.
All alone staring in the mirror.
Fear pierces the face.
It covers the ball, let's go there.
 
Again that fear will wake a new day.
The same familiar twang will drown out our morning.
 
Again that fear will wake a new day.

I'm sleeping.
 

You

Versions: #2
You're the one to blame
For all my anguish and all my losses
You filled my life
With sweet inquietudes and bitter disenchantments
 
Your love is like a scream
That I carry here in my soul and here in my heart
And even though I don't wanna be
Slave to your eyes, or toy of your love
 
Don't play with my sorrows or my feelings
It's the only thing I have
You are my hope, my only hope
Understand for once.
 
You make me despair
You kill me and drive me crazy
That even my life I gave up
To overcome the fear
Of kissing you
 
Your love is like a scream

I'm crazy , crazy, because I'm sigh for love.
Loving you, it's gonna extend until the next century.
Maybe I have to learn how to let go one day.
 
Loving you, you make me learn how to be in sorrow.
And my thoughts are how to get the blessing.
 
* Crazy, I just wanna hold you tightly.
I'm crazy, I love you.
I'm crazy, I'm crying.
And I'm crazy that everything is all for you.
 
* Crazy, I just wanna hold you tightly.
I'm crazy, I love you.
I'm crazy, I'm crying.
And I'm crazy that everything is all for you.
 

Yellow Tulips

Fountains are dry now, and the summer left the town.
You have come with tulips, I’m surprised by their colour.
Don’t you know of it: the colour can be cruel hint.
The flowers were yellow, oh-oh-oh, flowers were yellow.
 
(refrain)
Amber-yellow tulips’re messengers of parting,
They are of the colour fading morning star,
fading morning star.
Amber-yellow tulips touched your hands, my darling.
They recall you smiling, they are festive plants,
strong and festive plants.
Those yellow tulips touched your hands, my darling.
They recall you smiling,
strong and festive plants, o-o-o
strong and festive plants, o-o-o,
strong and festive plants.
 
You are leaving, darling, and the city’ll get quite silent
Quarrel was so stupid, you‘re right I cannot argue.
Flowers shouldn’t be blamed for all my dreams flew away.
Amber-yellow tulips, o-o-o, amber-yellow tulips.
 
(refrain)
 

Remembering

In my music box
Dreams sleeping in the silk
Skinned through destiny
 
Remembering a smile that does good
That reminds of of where we're from
Even skinless, I remember
 
My life in disorder
Borders me with absence, covers me in gold
I discover Pandora's box
 
Remembering to better forget the worst
Tasting all the flowers of evil
To never come back here again
 
Remembering is also forgiving
Forgiving others' insults
Getting back up with your head held high
 
I remember
 

Leave Without Saying Anything

You are angry with time,
You struggle with the countercurrent
On this place,
A heart lost in this town,
Your heart beats melancholy
And time passes
 
The day where everything turned,
The prayers that reassured you
Had already left their place
To the silences that we haven't understood,
Would tenderness have been enough?
 
And if you still think
That happiness can be found elsewhere
If life is wrong
Leave without saying anything
 
You didn't want to hear yourself say
That the most beautiful is yet to come
Friends fade
They feel like strangers
Heroes have escaped
And this is the impasse
 
We could tell each other that we've gotten old
A coffee, some shards of life,
A bit of the past that breaks
Hoping for a sign from you
I, I remain planted here
 
And if you still think
That happiness can be found elsewhere
If life is wrong
Leave without saying anything
 

Together

To break all the chains, I still believe in it and even so,
Blood would burn the sky so that no one could steal my wings
 
Burned like by the irons, it is from lands that crawl
Where soldiers of pain lift their feet from the dust
 
Together, we could be the world, I still believe in it, still
Together, we could make the world, I believe more and more strongly
 
To break all the hates, the same veins in our bodies
For when, I do not know, to see the universe from the same roof, from the same roof
 
Together, we could be the world, I still believe in it, still
Together, we could make the world, I believe more and more strongly
 
We could make the world together
 

The Path to School

Have you looked again at our tracks on the path to school?
There where our feet would drag, our schoolbags on our shoulders,
The wind erased them, a road has taken its place there
Even our names on the willow, time has chased them away
On the area surrounding the barn, a furious dog would come out
Barking towards the sky at the game of curious children
 
That was us and our laughs on
Life's path
I had to let go of your hand
I want to today
 
Of our chalk, of our dreams
A washed blackboard
Yes time has passed, nothing remains
Of our traits, of our lips
A blackboard used
By broken, lost promises
Nothing remained
And the two of us, we missed the train
 
Have you saved those words that I had written
On the pages?
Those of the history books,
of the envelopes and the margins
You lost them, moved them forward into the fire
Or let them die by the hands
Of other women
I, I saved the flowers in a yellowed notebook
Five crumpled petals that say 'madly' 1
 
It's on this stone bench
On the path to school
That for the first time
You took me by the shoulder
 
Have you seen your buddies again, those for which you
Left me, standing in front of my door
So sad and wounded
Where are they today?
And she who ravished you?
There's only me and me alone getting old
Close to your bed
 
That blade that brings you
This chagrin that no one sees
To not hurt others
You've turned it on yourself
How?
 
Have you been able to forget this path, that school?
When I loved you less than my father
But much more than another man
 
For other paths...

The Girl of the Previous Me

Often agreeing with the others
Not connecting much with herself
She wanted people to love her
Often changing and rerouting
The great angers under tenderness
Always too much to do
A little lonely without swearing too much to
The desire to send everything flying
 
The girl of the previous me
That was just the outlines,
The early stages,
The woman now
Finishes the tricks
It will have taken me thirty years
 
Often in the shadow of a sun
To mope around, eyes towards the sky,
Hiding her sensitive soul
The young girl, always faithful
Rather docile but not weak
Small pieces of idyll
A little lonely without swearing too much to
The desire to send everything flying
 
The girl of the previous me
That was just the outlines,
The early stages,
The woman now
Finishes the tricks
It will have taken me thirty years
 
Reviewing all the turns
Knowing to say 'no, it's not, that's all'
Accepting to wrong the crazy people
Repeating 'no' again
No...
 
The girl of the previous me
That was just the outlines,
The early stages,
The woman now
Finishes the tricks
It will have taken me thirty years
To kill the girl of the previous me
 

Bedroom window

Behind a bedroom window you'll find me, who can't sleep
We've been awake for longer than we're allowed to
A carrier pigeon flies through the forest
On the way to your window
Can I come along in your dream?
 
And do you want to meet me where we met yesterday
You can play banjo and I can sing
And maybe you can show me some tricks
And maybe I'll be taken aback
Can I come along in your dream?
 
Because anything can happen when the moon shines
Anything can happen when the moon shines
Anything can happen when the moon shines
Can I come along in your dream?
 

Give a little whistle

If you're sitting in your window
And looking down at the city
Will you
Give a little whistle?
If I should walk past you
On a line of cobblestones
Will you
Give a little whistle
Ooooh
 
Wake me from the world that's rushing past
When I look
Down at my shoes
That take me every day
Where they took me yesterday
So come on and
Teach me how good it can be to stop
 
Day after day I've walked back and forth
In the light of the city's streetlamps
I've walked here a lifetime now
On a line of cobblestones
Will you
Give a little whistle?
Ooooh
 
Wake me from the world that's rushing past
When I look
Down at my shoes
That take me every day
Where they took me yesterday
So come on and
Teach me how good it can be to sit in peace
 
Far from a rootless city in a rootless time
Come on
Invite me in
Tear me out
Of this street, I've had enough
When I look
Down at my shoes
That take me every day
Where they took me yesterday
So come on and
Teach me how good it can be to sit in peace
 

Dear let's go out for dinner

Now we are fighting for two or three days,
because of stupid things, because of I don't know what,
everyone blames the other one.
But these are the consequences of a life together.
 
The seperated rooms and the night goes,
far like the stars in the abyss.
Then, everything like before, you always win.
I am only looking for peace. I can't take it anymore.
 
Dear, let's go out for dinner!
Put your flower dress on like back then
I want to make love in the same park with you
Where I saw you
 
Dear, let's go out for dinner!
I want to retaste all those flavors
that slowly we forgot,
without knowing why.
 
Call the girl that now is up here.
We will feel calmer if she comes down.
The excuse of the child, the life that one has,
we are not the masters of intimacy anymore.
 
Dear, let's go out for dinner!
So we can forget our disagreements,
on the highway till late night,
very fast.
 
Dear, let's go out for dinner!
Let's wait for sunrise with all its colors!
With the new day a way out 1
sooner or later it will come.
