A Gypsy Woman Told Me

When the heart awaits and hopes,
life isn’t lost.
Hope is an illusion

Monster of Love

Versions: #1
It's as if I'd become a monster of love
My legs are weakening, my heart is heavy
I will end up by suffocating in all this velvet
It's no use my shouting, my shouts are muffled
 
Tell me, tell me why I'm sinking
Into waters, into shadows
In which I'm drowning
 
Tell me what is this anger
Which twists me, which appals me
That I do not know
 
It's as if I'd transformed into a monster of love
And I've lost family and courage
My eyes have learnt by heart your shapes and contours
And they imagine them when the day fades away
 
Tell me, tell me why I'm sinking
Into waters, into shadows
In which I'm drowning
 
Tell me what is this anger
Which twists me, which appals me
That I do not know
 
Tell me what is this anger
Which twists me, which appals me
That I do not know
 
It's as if I'd become a monster of love
My legs are weakening, my heart is heavy
 

Saint Lucia

In the sky the belt of stars brightly shine
A message in the Christmas night's twinkling shines
Heavenly light - A joyous declaration
Candles are lit - Candles are lit
 
To the forest of the North the crusty sheath is created
And the land is prisoner of its white curtain
Heavenly glow brings - Lucia light bestows
Saint Lucia - Saint Lucia
 
The pearly belt creates crystals to the robe of white
From the cache of the winter night to us comes
Lucia with the wreath on her head - Celebrate this moment
Do come to us - Saint Lucia
 

Kerti bölcsesség

Bármely fénytől, mely derít
gyümölcsözőbb a rejtély.
Pőre testre fátylat borít
a vágyálom kedély.
 
Hétpecsétes lakat alá rejtsd a múltad.
Óvakodj, hogy feltárd
ha jó mélyre dugtad
talán terem nektárt.
Természetesen ez nem más
mint békés kerti okoskodás.
 
Mire tanít szent családfánk?
Megboldogult őseinket
hős vagy gyökér eleinket
mélyen földbe temesük
és ne nagyon feszegessük.
 

You're Falling in Love With Me

You're family don't like me
They say that I'm the worst
That being with me is a mistake
And my love isn't for you
 
They accuse me of being a womaniser
But you don't believe in that
In a hug I discovered
What your lips didn't say
 
You're falling in love with me
You know that I'm crazy for you
You eyes betray you
My mouth can't take it any more
The two of us know that it's like this
 
You're falling in love with me
You know that I'm crazy for you
Don't wait until morning
If you want to today
Why do we have to lie?
 
I know that you said I'm a womaniser
But I swear to you that I've changed
You have all my feelings
I only want to live by your side
 
Get closer to me, listen to me
Let yourself love
Tell me once
I want to have you forever
That you be mine forever
 

Enter, Lucia, enter

In darken lands a light is shining1 -
Lucia is coming in the night.
The snow lays white over grounds and houses,
the forest is thaw-black and heavy its murmur,
the star stands brilliant in night-black water.
Enter, Lucia, enter, enter with your light and your gifts!
We wish to hide them meekly in our minds as a sprout is wrapped by a seed,
until the sun of spring starts to shine.
 

• 1. This is a paraphrase of Isaiah 9:2, in the Swedish translation of the Bible from 1542. In the KJV, this line would be something along the lines of 'A great light shines in the land of the shadow of death'

I do not crash The crown of woders of The worlt

Versions: #1
I do not crash the crown of wonders of the world and I do not kill with my mind the mysteries I find along the way în flowers, eyes, on lips and graves. The Light of other chokes The spell of The impenetrable hidden în the darkest depths, but I, with my light expand The world's mysteries - just like The moon does not decrease with its White rays, but trembling, it increases The spell of night, so do I enrich The darkest skies with sainted mystery and all that is unkwown changes into even bigger unknown under my eyes- for I love flowers and eyes and lips and grave.
 

A Lot of Silliness

I don't think I'll let you leave my life
I know that you like being in the middle of this fight
What happened was good for us both
Our destiny is to figure out an exit
Only you can avoid my torment
I can't take you out of my mind anymore
If you go away, I fall apart in pain
If you stay, I want to give you my love
It's like this in every story: beginning, middle and end
Again
Maybe
Maybe one chance, not one, one yes
Make you come back to me
Come back to me, come back to me
 
I'll fight for you my whole life
Even if I have to do a lot of silliness
If you go away, I fall apart in pain
If you stay, I want to give you my love
 

Midnight Rain

An archipelago of cars for hire
stationed in mud.
Square of solitude
with four hooks of violet electricity
at center.
Black umbrellas at the Northern corner
struggle against the darkness with edges of transparent drops.
Smoke horses.
Reddish headlights that face forward
always.
A cab driver in slumber.
So goes the night.
Longitudinally.
On the parallel of worldly inertia.
 

Caruso

Here, where the sea glistens
and the wind blows hard,
on an old terrace,
in front of the Sorrento gulf,
a man embraces a girl
after having cried
then he clears his throat
and restarts the song.
 
I love you very much
but so, so much, you know.
It is a chain, by now
that dissolves the blood inside the veins, you know.
 
Saw the lights in the middle of the sea,
thought of the nights there, in America,
but they were only fishing lights
in the white propeller's wash.
Felt the pain in the music,
stood himself up from the pianoforte
but when he saw the moon come out of a cloud
even death seemed to him sweeter.
 
Looked at the girl in the eyes,
those eyes green like the sea,
then, all of a sudden, a tear came out
and he thought he was drowning.
 
I love you very much
but so, so much, you know.
It is a chain, by now
that dissolves the blood inside the veins, you know.
 
Power of the opera
where every drama is a falsehood,
that with a bit of makeup and with mimicry
you can become someone else.
But, two eyes that are looking at you,
so close and true,
make you forget the lyrics,
confuse the thoughts.
 
So everything becomes small,
even the nights there, in America,
you turn and see your life
as the propeller's wash.
But yes, it's life that is ending,
but he didn't so much think about it,
rather, he was already feeling happy
and restarted his song.
 
I love you very much
but so, so much, you know.
It is a chain, by now
that dissolves the blood inside the veins, you know.
 
I love you very much
but so, so much, you know.
It is a chain, by now
that dissolves the blood inside the veins.

Saint Lucy

On the sea glitters
The silver star
Gentle the waves
Favorable the winds
 
On the sea glitters
The silver star
Gentle the waves
Favorable the winds.
 
Come into my nimble little boat,
Saint Lucy!

you have taken my heart

You, you have taken my heart
for me you will be the only love
no, I will not forget you
I will live for you
I will dream about you
in this moment for me
you are like the sun
so far from me
it means death for love
because you're the one that you've stolen my heart
I see you between the rose
I tell you a lot of things
if the wind caresses you slight
a perfume of childhood
you instill in me
during the night I dream shaking in you
which enchantment of my heart
on yours
while you open up your golden pupils
You that took my heart
you will be the only love for me
I will not forget you
I will live for you
I will dream about you
you or anyone else or never
for me now
you are like the sun
so far from me
it means death for love
because you're the one that you've stolen my heart
 

Lucía

I promise you
That everything that is said without words
A wound
Yes but how to separate it
 
There are looks
That don't last
Neither a second
But have an effect of a bomb
And that girl has touched me.
 
In my mind
She entered my spirit
I regret
Every instant where I breathe
 
There are smiles
That catch you
That kill you
I left her go
And ever since then I became lost
 
I really don't know
What her name is
Every time I'm cold
I think of her again
 
And she didn't let it happen
Will she set me free?
Because I in her heart
I am a prisoner
Ho, ho
Lucia, Lucia
 
I give you a name
So that you hear me
Ho ho
Lucia, Lucia
I make up a life with you
Ho ho
Lucia, Lucia
 
In her eyes
I saw that she wanted to go
I want
Her hand make a capture
There are perfumes that I don't forget
Ever
sound among them
She's the one who regrets, yeah
 
I really don't know
What her name is
Every time I'm cold
I think of her again
 
And she didn't let it happen
Will she set me free?
Because I in her heart
I am a prisoner
Ho, ho
Lucia, Lucia
I give you a name
So that you hear me
Ho ho
Lucia, Lucia
I make up a life with you
 
I don't know anymore
What her name is
I walk without purpose
Lost under the sky
 
(Did she see it?)
(Did she realize?)
(That Lucia is her)
I see her from afar
I am sure she's the one
Ho ho
Lucía, Lucía
I give you a name
So that you hear me
Ho ho
Lucia, Lucia
I make up a life with you
 
Ho ho
Lucia, Lucia
 
Ho ho
Lucia, Lucia
 

You're always there

The end came,
The clamor stopped,
The magic faded,
And your gaze is fixed on me
The cold light of a pavilion
Falls on a sea of broken glass
And a castaway drowns
In seclusion
 
And my home
Will be in some place,
Some hotel
I've left the city behind
Tell me where you will go tonight
 
The act makes me shake
And the stage is a volcano
That roars like thunder
I search for you in the crowd
Because I know you're always there
 
And my home
Will be in some place,
Some hotel
I've left the city behind
Tell me where you will go tonight
 
You will go down
To the kingdom of darkness
Keep looking for
A stairway to heaven
Tell me if there will be anyone to wait for you
Or if only while you sleep
The eyes of your heroes
Watch you from the wall
 
The clamor has stopped
There will be no end
This spell will not break
All will be well if you are here
All will be well if you are here
 
And my new home
Will be in some place,
Some hotel
I've left the city behind
Tell me where you will go tonight
 
And my new home
Will be in some place,
Some hotel
I've left the city behind
Tell me where you will go tonight
 

You don't die from love

My syndrome is unique and infects the soul
In the mechanisms, full cardiogram
I am rusty to the bone, gotta change the machinery
Gotta throw out all of my equipment
I'm afraid I've ruined myself by giving too much and loving badly
I got lost
I got lost
 
The pain that is eating me up is serious
The doctor will do his best
You don't die from love
You don't die from love
You don't die from love
But I'm calling for help
 
I need repairing but where could I find the courage
To regain health for this body, for this cage
There are some words you don't recover from
You watch for under the skin, we know they sleep there
The pain that is eating me up is serious
The doctor is doing his best
 
The pain that is eating me up is serious
The doctor will do his best
You don't die from love
You don't die from love
You don't die from love
You don't die from love
You don't die from love
You don't die from love
You don't die from love
But I'm calling for help
 

My heart is colourless

Versions: #2
'We are all moving around the old circle'1,
Singing in this sweet and salty language.
What is far is near in the songs
Which make a party between three continents.
 
We dance samba2 and marrabenta3 too,
We cry the fado4and play the coladeira5.
The door is always open to welcome everyone.
If one is tired, says goodbye to tiredness6.
 
Corridinho7 started to run,
A well-performed and hopping dance.
Just play the funaná5and the malhão8 vigorously
And we will dance together, without getting confused,
In the offbeat pace of this heart.
 
Come on, come on, come on,
Let's make a circle and dance!
 
We are on the mood, let's dance.
Come on, mix your flavour with mine9.
Let this song sail away
Because my heart is colourless10.

We are always dancing,
Our bodies swing with sweet and slow moves.
In our mouths there is a tumultuous saudade11
for fig, papaya and guaraná12.
 
Vira13 started to turn and merengue14 too,
We cry the morna5 and play the sapateia15.
The door is always open to welcome everyone
Because we like when our house is full of people.
 
Let's dance the bailinho16,
Bring the sanfona17 and the cavaquinho18.
Chula19 will be danced and the baião2 too
And we will dance together, without getting confused,
In the offbeat pace of this heart.

The Grenade

Hey you
What are you looking at?
You've never seen a woman fighting
Follow me
In the pale city
And I will show you
As I bite, as I bark
Be careful, under my breast, the grenade
Under my breast there look
Under my breast the grenade
Be careful, under my breast, the grenade
Under my breast there look
Under my breast the grenade
 
Hey you
But what do you think?
I am only an animal
Disguised as Madonna
Hey you
I could hurt you
I could hurt you, yes
In the night that shivers
Be careful, under my breast, the grenade
Under my breast there look
Under my breast the grenade
Be careful, under my breast, the grenade
Under my breast there look
Under my breast the grenade
 
Hey you
What do you imagine?
I am also voracious
As alive as you
Do you know
That there under my chest
An anger sleeps
That you do not suspect?
Be careful, under my breast, the grenade
Under my breast there look
Under my breast the grenade
Be careful, under my breast, the grenade
Under my breast there look
Under my breast the grenade
Be careful
 

Andalusia

She of the lanes
narrows and whites,
she who when pain
became singing.
 
She of boulevard
and the Alhambra,
She of ask ground,
ask freedom.
 
She of Machado and Camarón,
She of musical beat rights
and beat the breast
because too much heart.
 
She of the east and the west,
she who break rules,
she of ordinary people
who have kings's blood.
 
She who revival poetry
as soon as day ends.
To her windows I look
and her happiness hurt me.
Nobody will love you as
Andalusia does.
 
She of Mosque
and the roasted fish,
she with a small boat
between sun and sea.
 
She of olive
and olive worker.
She who by february
smell of carnival.
 
She who Picasso talk about
and Lorca drew,
Velázquez, Paco and Alberti,
Carlos Cano and Juan Ramón.
 
She the surrealist more real,
she of bitter talent,
graceful without make up,
millionaire without money.
 
She who revival poetry
as soon as day ends.
To her windows I look
and her happiness hurt me.
Nobody will love you as
Andalusia does.
 

I don't know love

Do not keep coming to me
I’m easily moved.
Everything in front of a thread
Our time tangled in it
I keep trying to keep my mind closed.
I’m easily weakened.
The days when I was used to being alone
Do not let it collapse now.
I lived without knowing love.
I do not deserve to have a heart like this.
I know.
Like the fate that we met without preparation
I shook and woke me.
If this is not the day like this
A completely different road elsewhere
If you met, would it be different from now?
Could I hold your hand?
I lived without knowing love.
I do not deserve to have a heart like this.
I know.
Like the fate that we met without preparation
It was you who rocked me and woke me up.
I met you without knowing love
I keep leaning toward you
I know your feelings.
I did not even know how to give it to me
Teach me all love
Teach me love
 

Come and take care of me

Versions: #2
I've already done everything not to lose you.
I fought against the world, I fought for you.
I've already cried here, locked up in this apartment
and the longing hurting everything in my mind.
I ended up the night looking for you from my window.
I spent the night wishing to have you here.
I need that love with me, I 'm gonna stay with her.
Gimme a sign, tear up my chest, come and take care of me.
 
At least just one night take care of me.
Gimme a sign, do something, take care of me.
Come and take care of me, take this yearning away from me.
Piece of happiness, my sin, my pleasure.
Come and take care of me, come and be my smile again.
The Eve of my paradise, my blue-colored dream, my great love.
 

He created Andalusia

God made the world in six days,
and He rested in the seventh
God made the world in six days,
and He rested in the seventh
And in the rest he dreamed that it lacked joy
And from the dream, and from the dream, He created Andalusia
He created Andalusia, He created Andalusia
He created Andalusia, He created Andalusia.
 
Lean out on the Mediterrean,
on the heart of Triana
Like a nest of white towns,
with flowers in the windows
Land of impossible dreams,
of Caliphs and Romans
Whim of nature,
between divine and human
Between divine and human,
between divine and human
 
Lights and colors wave
they come with the morning
A white and green hall
of the Doñana reflex
Where simple people,
sits in a chair
at the door of their house
Where having a friend,
where love is gifted
Where having a woman,
that makes you fall in love by looking at her.

You and I

After so many years
Today I can say
The words that I've kept
And haven't been able to forget
 
I suffered in silence
I fell and got back up
I put up a fight and tried
But I lost, for I pushed you away
 
What a shame
Life pushed us apart
We gave up and didn't fight
Because fate wouldn't allow it
 
Fate regretted it
It turned back and is looking at us
Fate wants to bring us back together
Forever you and I
Forever you and I
 
To tell the truth
I could never forget you
I hugged onto your memory
More and more with each night
 
My body craved your warmth
My lips awaited your love... Oh baby
Forever you and I
Forever you and I
 
What a shame
Life pushed us apart
We gave up and didn't fight
Because fate wouldn't allow it
Wouldn't allow iiiiiit
 
Fate regretted it
It turned back and is looking at us
Fate wants to bring us back together
Forever you and I
Forever you and I
 
Have no fear
I won't run away again
I only want you
Just you
 
Love me, touch me
Kiss me, hug me
Let's run away
 
What a shame
Life pushed us apart
We gave up and didn't fight
Because fate wouldn't allow it
Wouldn't allow it
 
Fate regretted it
It turned back and is looking at us
Fate wants to bring us back together
Forever you and I
Forever you and I
 
Forever you and I
Forever you and I
Forever you and I
 

He

Come, I’m free from eight to ten
We can have fun and have a drink
He’s like a faithful dog
But I prefer you, though people say I’m crazy
 
He acts like a serious man, You’re laughing about it
He intends to be my owner, You phone me and forget me
But I prefer you
 
He forgives me because he’s a scrap of good bread
And he treats me with patience
I know that I shouldn’t be cruel
That I should tell him I’m not interested in him
 
He acts like a serious man, You’re laughing about it
He intends to be my owner, You phone me and forget me
But I prefer you
 
Oh.... Oh.....
 
He says that I will change
That I have to find him when I settle down
Come, I’m free from eight to ten
Then I have to study and think about whom I’m interested in
 
He acts like a serious man, You’re laughing about it
He intends to be my owner, You phone me and forget me
But I prefer you
 
He says that I will change
That I have to find him when I settle down
Come, I’m free from eight to ten
Then I have to study and think about whom I’m interested in
 
He acts like a serious man, You’re laughing about it
He intends to be my owner, You phone me and forget me
But I prefer you
 

Strawberry Heart

Hazelnut eyes with the lips of a princess
Like a promise, fire in your eyes
Strawberry heart
 
All your life in front of you, sixteen Aprils
Your body moves, your mind is excited

Move your waist, dance with the moon
Because the night is young
And it has surprises in store, strawberry heart
 
Where are you going to go (strawberry heart)

Heart of Stone

I am lost in your sea
Your tide has dragged me there
And now I'm floating adrift
Not knowing what star is mine
No tomorrow, no love, no direction
 
Because without you
Dearest love, without you
I don't know how to survive
Heart of stone, heart
Heart of stone
 
It's night again
It's the wee hours again
And I do not have the look of your eyes
Your hugs, your warmth
Your body
And without you,
Dearest love, without you
I don't know how to survive
 
Heart of stone, heart
Heart of stone
 

Javapache

Midnight's already ticking
and for you, with a carnation in my mouth,
I have returned wearing
an Apache costume because..
 
Because you like brutal men
and in this fateful outfit
in the glow of a headlight
you'll dance your java with me,
if in your scared heart
I will be strong for you..
 
Dance the dusky java,
beautiful flower of evil,
under the white moon
you are beautiful and fatal.
Maybe you are, for me,
my destiny
and I will be for you
a rascal.
 
Mouth on your mouth,
the java of love,
woe to him who touches
the woman of my heart.
And if a whisper far away
will call you elsewhere,
you are my woman,
nobody else will ever have you...
~
Black shadows who move forward
and look at me in defiance
what do you want?
I know who you are,
those Apaches that exploited the flower
not a flower of good or evil
this night belongs only to me.
 
Put down the knife, it's not worth it
to scare her with your terror,
come again on my heart
for death and for love..
 
Dance the dusky java,
beautiful flower of evil,
maybe under the moon
in this fatal night
let an Apache believe it
I'm the hawk and you my prey...
 
Open up your mouth
in an endless kiss
woe to whoever touches her...
(gunshot) alas, i got hit!
Like cowards they run
their spirit unpunished
but a wounded hawk
will tighten the grasp of its claw.
 
(whistle) ...The patrol !...
We are only dancing a playful java,
we're no jailbirds, no
we're having fun.. have a good night.
 
A mandolin plays,
we dance again,
but my heart leaves me..
don't give up on me.
 
Take me for a moment
down there in my little house,
mom awaits me,
who knows if she'll see me...
 

It's too late

Versions: #1
When you left
I cried, I cried for the pain
Today you're mine once again
and you're asking me if I still love you.
 
It's too late now,
it's too late
today you wish we can go back
to what we used to be.
 
But all of your fake and false
promises
tell to my heart:
you will never change.
 
In vain
you're still trying to lie to me,
why are you saying:
I'm back because
you're the only one.
 
I can see in your eyes
everytime you look at me:
Everything is over now,
it's too late.
 
Kisses without feeling
promises without faithfulness,
maybe there will be someone else
who believes your last lie.
 
In vain,
you're still trying to lie to me,
how could you say:
I'm back because
you're the only one.
 
I can see in your eyes
everytime you look at me:
Everything is over now
it's too late.
 

Lucía

This song flies out
For you, Lucía
The most beautiful love story
That I ever had or will have
It is a love letter for you,
That is carried away by the wind
Colored in my voice
It goes nowhere
It reaches no mailbox
 
There's nothing more beautiful
Than what I never had
Nothing more beloved
Than what I lost
Forgive me if
Today I look for the
Full moon in the sand
Which the sea used to scratch
 
If I ever was like a bird of passage 1
I forgot that, to make my nest in your arms
If I was ever beautiful or good
It was when I was entangled in your neck and breasts
 
If I was ever wise at love
I learned it from your lips of a songstress
If I ever loved
If there was any day when
I loved after loving
It was because of your love, Lucía
Lucía
 
The memories of you
Grow sweeter each day
Oblivion only took away half of them
And your shadow
Still lies down on my bed
In the darkness
Between my pillow
And my loneliness
 
If I was ever wise at love
I learned it from your lips of a songstress
If I ever loved
If there was any day when
I loved after loving
It was because of your love, Lucía
Lucía
 
If I ever loved
If there was any day when
I loved after loving
It was because of your love, Lucía

Neapolitan heart

You change all the world, but Naples, you know,
like a star in the sky
eternal beauty will be.
My heart too will never be able to forget it
 
Neapolitan heart, it's always you
even if in Marechiaro
i don't sing anymore.
Santa Lucia, Sorrento and Marì and 'O' sole mio',
Cannot die.
 
Naples, in my dreams
you appear to me
but when the day comes
you aren't there anymore.
The years pass by, but to me
Neapolitan heart it's forever you.
 
You wrote my mother, wants me by her side
How much sadness,
oh, mother, I feel for you
My heart says 'wait',
and I wait, why?
 
Naples, in my dreams
you appear to me
but when the day comes
you aren't there anymore.
The years pass by, but to me
Neapolitan heart it's forever you..
 

Time for waking (singable translation)

(Calaf, the unknown prince:)
Tíme for wáking!
Tíme for wáking!
You tóo Princéss are sléepless
Shút in your cóld apártments
Wátching the stár rays
Still trémble with afféction
And wíth endúrance...
 
But my mýstery‿is búried in mé
My real náme shall stáy unknówn!
No, no! Kíssing your móuth tomórrow‿at dáwn
Í shall disclóse‿it, ónly thén!
Only my kíss is bound to bréak the sílence
That mákes you míne.
 
(Choir of women)
His real náme shall stáy unknówn...
And all of ús, alás, are dóomed to díe!
 
(Calaf, the unknown prince:)
Do vánish, dárkness! Stars, do sét alréady!
Stars, do sét alréady! When dáwn comes Í shall wín!
Í shall wín! Í sháll wín!
 

Every star was bright ablaze (singable translation)

Versions: #1#2#3
Every stár was bright abláze...
The ground gíving off vápors
The gárden gate creaked wide ópen...
She cáme toward mé with light fóotsteps...
I smélled a newest frágrance
Then she féll down - in my‿embráce.
 
She kíssed my líps wite pássionate elátion
While Í ardéntly set hér free fróm the veils that híd her béauty!
My dréams of lóve are now destróyed foréver
The‿ínstant depárted, so‿I'll díe in désperátion!
I'll díe in désperátion!
Yet néver béfóre I wíshed so múch to líve on,
Só much - to líve on!
