The Spaniards came

The Spaniards came, cannonaded, and left.
The English came, cannonaded heavily, and left.
The French came, blew their bugles, and captured it.

The Forgotten

I am so captured by your love
...like a deer captured in a trap
 
I am so captured by your love
...like a deer captured in a trap
 
Sometimes I cry for my incurable pain
Sometimes I smile at my bad state
 
Sometimes I cry for my incurable pain
Sometimes I smile at my bad state
 
Am I not like Majnun?!1 Can I let my love go?! (No, I can't) 2
So if you are a wise person, (don't waste your time and) don't advise me in a vain (to forget her)
 
If you call my name3 when I'm asleep (dead) in my grave
...my sorrowful soul would calm down
 
I have a soul that I am ready to sacrifice it for the dust of your steps4
Whether you be nice with me or hurt me
 
Am I not like Majnun?!5 Can I let my love go?! (No I can't)
So if you are a wise person, don't advise me in a vain (to forget her)
 
  • 1. : The well-known lover
  • 2. If we translate this verse literally it means: 'I am not like Majnun to let my love go'. But it's counterintuitive, because Majnun never let his beloved Leyla go, but on the contrary he loved Leyla so much, that is why people called him Majnun=crazy, because he was crazy about Leyla. So I think the verses should be a question as I translated it.
  • 3. The poet is addressing his beloved
  • 4. It is an exaggeration, one of literary devices. The poet means I'm ready to give up my life for you
  • 5. The well-known lover

Don't lose your faith

[Agnes Cole, spoken]
Don't worry,
everything will be alright.
Come over, the three of you
 
[Agnes Cole]
You have often experienced it,
nothing in life remains in place
People come, people go
What seemed certain, pass away.
Time smashes the strongest stone,
but what your heart says,
and what you carry in your heart,
will be forever with you
 
Whatever happens
don't lose your faith
even if the world breaks
don't give up
The deepest valley
still ends someday
Whereever I am,
I will send a light to you
Whatever happens
don't lose your faith in you

Look Into My Eyes

Everything looks different now.
Dress warm if you go,
Outside the people closed themselves off.
They became cold, I don’t know exactly why.
I just started the car,
Pushed down the pedal, hurrying..
See, time is dripping out the window.
Everything is passing, at the end only the skies remain.
 
If we're here
And if in the next moment, it fades away,
If the world got a bit crazy,
Swinging on the edge..
If we're here,
Between imagination and reality,
Look into my eyes,
So I’ll know that you're with me.
 
I chose to keep on moving,
Im a man who lives in longing,
Can’t remember for what anymore..
Maybe for maskless humans.
Don’t dress up yourself,
you're most beautiful exactly like that.
Your singers on the radio,
are generating words, captives,
Inside the sea of plastic spilled here,
Don’t hide your heart as they did my love,
A beating heart is a hint we are alive.
 
If we're here
And if in the next moment it fades away,
If the world got a bit crazy,
Swinging on the edge..
If we're here,
Between imagination and reality,
Look into my eyes,
So I’ll know that you're with me.

If you were here

I never gave you a flower
I thought I was too great
It was foolish for me to be gentle with you
I didn't dance with you not even once,
no matter how much you begged me
And I constantly had no time for you
 
[Chorus:]
If you were here now, I'd buy you flowers every day
and take you everywhere with me
I would keep you, love
If you were here now, you wouldn't hear, 'Dance alone'
Now my darling is dancing again,
but now with someone else
 
I did too little for you
How would you love such a person
But I already got what I deserved
Today even when I am with another woman,
I'm looking at her like I'm looking at a wall
I'm thinking only of you, I'm thinking only of you
 
[Chorus:]
If you were here now, I'd buy you flowers every day
and take you everywhere with me
I would keep you, love
If you were here now, you wouldn't hear, 'Dance alone'
Now my darling is dancing again,
but now with someone else
 
And I pray that at least you'd be happy if I can't be
And even if it hurts, believe me my dear, I'm happy for you two
He gives you everything that I failed to give you
And you don't need me, which is my own fault, I know
 
[Chorus:]
If you were here now, I'd buy you flowers every day
and take you everywhere with me
I would keep you, love.
If you were here now, you wouldn't hear, 'Dance alone'
Now my darling is dancing again,
but now with someone else

Gazdag Kölykök

La la la (gazdag kölykök)
La la la.
 
Gyerünk, csapassuk.
 
Mehettem volna fősulira, ahogy a gazdag kölykök
Füvet venni a pénzen amit anyuci küldött
De le sem szarom a továbbtanulást
Mert tudod a rock and roll-ban diplomás vagyok, te kurva
 
(Így van kölykök)
 
Mindenünk megvan ami csak kell, felpakolva a furgonban,
Mindenkinek bemutatva, padlógázzal léptünk le
 
Én nem vagyok egy gazdag kölyök, lehet ez jó dolog
Semmim sincs, mégis eljutottam idáig
Magamat adva, rímelek és lopok,
Azt csinálom amit akarok
 
Ó, nincs pénzem de az életem
mindig, mindig ragyogó
 
(Igen, így van, itt vagyok, ragyogok,
És most jöjjön a második versszak)
 
Csóró vagyok mint egy narkós, de jól érzem magam
Minden lány szerint cuki vagyok, mert tetszik nekik ahogy rímelek
És a középiskolások ellopják az mp3-maimat
Egy köcsög sem csapatja úgy ezzel a mikrofonnal mint én
 
Én nem vagyok egy gazdag kölyök, lehet ez jó dolog
Semmim sincs, mégis eljutottam idáig
Magamat adva, rímelek és lopok,
Azt csinálom amit akarok
 
Ó, nincs pénzem de az életem
mindig, mindig ragyogó
 
Mindenünk megvan, ami csak kell,
Mindenünk megvan, ami csak kell,
Mindenünk megvan, ami csak kell, felpakolva a furgonban,
Mindenkinek bemutatva, padlógázzal léptünk le
 
Én nem vagyok egy gazdag kölyök, lehet ez jó dolog
Semmim sincs, mégis eljutottam idáig
Magamat adva, rímelek és lopok,
Azt csinálom amit akarok
 
Ó, nincs pénzem de az életem
mindig, mindig ragyogó
 
(Itt vagyok, ragyogok,
Ha ha ha (gazdag kölykök)
Itt vagyok, ragyogok,
(gazdag kölykök))

The Story of Ali Rıza and Ahmed

How strange the story of Ali Rıza
And Ahmed
One lives in the village
And the other one in the city
And every single morning
The one in the city heads to the village
And the one in the village heads to the city

What A Country

What a country, what a country
what a country, unique unto itself
the government squeezes, the country is stressed
what a country, what a country..
 
People are crying, the prices go up and up
paying taxes and also health fees
there isn't any more work, the cash drawer is empty
there is no way to fund life, they closed the work bureau
in the Knesset1they are sitting around, taking advantage of us
they took our savings, the unemployment is done
we are feed up, they issued us another fine
now they are adding tax to milk...
 
What a country, what a country
what a country, unique unto itself
the government requires, cash is requested
what a country, what a country..
 
We have ministers, who just want a chair...
don't do anything for us and just promise and promise
where is the equality, where is the vision
where is the morality, what a waste
what will sing to you and what can i explain
there are many things that we will give up on
despite the mess and the hardships
you are our country is for the generations.
 
What a country, what a country
what a country, unique unto itself
the government squeezes, the country is stressed
what a country, what a country
what a country, unique unto itself...

Mediterranian

Fresh air that comes to my face,
wind blowing from the East,
from Northeast and the North.
I feel the salt in my skin.
 
You and I are earth and sea, uncontrolled pleasure,
and if the boat sinks, I'll stay by your side.
We're strength, fury, blood, the paths we've walked,
protagonists of a story you'll never be told.
 
Waves come and go,
waves are breaking.
Where is the people from the Mediterranean?
 
Mediterranean is a party,
a senseless song.
Mediterranean is the storm,
Mediterranean [is] our yell.
 
Mediterranean is the tenderness
of some caresses in my bed.
Mediterranean is the certainty
that I was born here and I'm here.
 
Mother earth, our mother,
today I entrust your charm.
My house is your house,
a door without a lock.
 
You and I keep rowing, mocking the giants.
A lighthouse in the dark night, the light that will guide us.
Our fight takes the strength it deserves.
We won't rest until the walls fall down.
 
Waves come and go,
waves are breaking.
Where is the people from the Mediterranean?
 
Waves come and go,
waves are breaking.
Where is the people from the Mediterranean?
 
Mediterranean is a party,
a senseless song.
Mediterranean is the storm,
Mediterranean [is] our yell.
 
Mediterranean is the tenderness
of some caresses in my bed.
Mediterranean is the certainty
that I was born here and I'm here.
 
(I was born here and I'm here)
I was born here and I'm here
and since certain things happen to me,
here I suffer, I don't pass, I don't laugh (no)
Here I protest, I don't shut up and I say.
Cross the storm, the sorrow, the wave, the crest,
look at the tenderness, at the end of the way,
we want the promised reward.
Partying Mediterranean!
The boom sounds, the clap sounds,
the bombo sounds, clap!, the dub sounds,
the liberty dance sounds,
travelling hugs in the depths of the sea.
(In the depths of the sea, the depths of the sea)
The sea, cemetery of humanity.
 
Waves come and go,
waves are breaking.
Where is the people from the Mediterranean? (Mediterranean)
 
Mediterranean is a party,
a senseless song. (Mediterranean)
Mediterranean is the storm,
Mediterranean [is] our yell. (Mediterranean)
 
Mediterranean is the tenderness
of some caresses in my bed. (Mediterranean [is] our yell)
Mediterranean is the certainty
that I was born here and I'm here.

Interlude 2

Caught a cold, or maybe does your back ache -
The people, they're not morons :
They clamor about Judgment Day.
It's hailing - for oracles they're shaking.
The water pump is broken - for war they start to bray.
Oh I'm just so, just so bored.
 
Marcel Proust, and also Anatole France
If they were in my place, they'd
Rub fingers and foreheads together
Then start to sing about the weather
They'd make songs about the pump and then make it there in time.
Oh I'm just so, just so bored.
 
Later I will place onto my own wrist
With the face facing down a
Wristwatch with a golden arrow -
And then sit to freshen in the rain's midst
Inside my favorite bus, the 666th
Oh I'm just so bored!
 
Suppose that, within a shouting tumult
A veteran and fellow traveler
Lodges his crutch between my eyes
God's with him! What for was his retirement?
Clearly Marshal material. I guess I'll say nothing
But marshal, I'm so bored!
 
Who should I, for the 666th time
Ask why in life I have not
Amounted to something?
Marcel Proust, and also Anatole France
Have written 'bout this topic over a thousand tomes.
But whose even read them?

This my little spring song, swinging

This my little spring song, swinging,
takes my heart along, a-singing,
to the wide and lovely world out there,
where the leas and meads are flow'ring,
where the fleecy clouds are tow'ring
that old house has long been there.
Still, without worries,
far from all hurries ,
there lies the world in sunshine bright.
Under age-old trees, greening,
let us be dreaming
into spring days full of golden light.
 
All the bees are humming, singing
to my little spring song, swinging,
butterflies are flutt'ring here and there.
Nature brings her vernal blessing:
cherry blossoms sky caressing,
scent of roses sweetly fills the air.
 
Yet how sudden all of this splendour's vanished,
that one lovely day has us brought in May.
For a frosty rime came and all the flow'rs were banished
in a single night they have gone away.
Hushed are all the birds who would sing their spring romances.
Butterflies no longer pleasure in their dances.
E'en the age-old trees do freeze and hope that spring advances,
and the little flowers feel so sad and so blue.
 
Hush - and hear a gentle ringing
of my little spring song swinging
till we feel the spring sun's golden light.
And once more the meads are flow'ring,
e'en the fleecy clouds are tow'ring,
long forgotten is the frosty night.
 
Relish your young days, find out your own ways,
while for you shines the sun in May.
Life in beauty and clover
might soon be over,
for our springtime passes yet so fast away!

Mr. Tambourine Man

Hey, Mister Tambourine Man,
don't you remember me?
Please don't act
like I'm a stranger.
Hey, Mister Tambourine Man,
is it so hard for you?
You, I know,
all this was a long time ago.
 
These days, I still think back often
to the time when San Francisco was our Mecca,
when I wore flowers in my hair
and wasn't even sixteen,
because back then is when life began for me.
 
We wanted love for the world
and hung our hearts
on the songs of Joan Baez,
of Bob Dylan and The Byrds.
That gave us a lot.
 
Hey, Mister Tambourine Man,
don't you remember me?
Please don't act
like I'm a stranger.
Hey, Mister Tambourine Man,
is it so hard for you?
You, I know,
all this was a long time ago.

The white paper

Book of pictures, and book of regrets
I put a sprig of lily of the valley between your pages.
A love book has barely started,
day after day the sprig of lily of the valley has whitered,
 
[Refrain]
In Spring,
as a white paper,
I would write hope in Spring
 
It's a story where anything is the same.
I have an old dream sleeping in my memory.
It's an unknown poem in my heart.
It's an I love you, an I love you and I cry.
 
[Refrain]
In Spring,
as a white paper,
I would write hope in Spring (x2)
 
[Refrain]

Halfheartedly

You taught me dance and defeat
Electricity in stories
Smoke in your truth
Instagram queen
 
They sang every version
All our frozen plans
Crystal lips
Eye of the storm
 
If I gave you everything
And it still wasn't enough
I start over
Without direction
There's no home in Madrid anymore
There won't be a ditch in Paris
 
I mixed memories with alcohol
Your voice rhymed with pain
Cold beer and long nights
If the hangover brings back your smell
Fill up my cup, please
I don't know how to live halfheartedly
 
You dressed up all your excuses
Black clothes and yet you're still naked
Something was wrong
Queen of darkness
 
If I didn't give you everything
Tell me what happened
You start over
With one condition
There's no home in Madrid anymore
I'll forget Paris
 
I mixed memories with alcohol
Your voice rhymed with pain
Cold beer and long nights
If the hangover brings back your smell
Fill up my cup, please
I don't know how to live halfheartedly
 
So many people and nobody at the same time
They will open the concert doors
I say goodbye to X in Paris 1
To everything we were
To being with and without you
 
I mixed memories with alcohol
Your voice rhymed with pain
Cold beer and long nights
If the hangover brings back your smell
Fill up my cup, please
I don't know how to live halfheartedly

Soon The Skies Will Open

Soon the skies will open,
And our home will probably be lit,
‏And we will dance
‏in our living room barefoot,
‏Clean from the darkness
‏that has visited the world.
‏Soon we will run into the water again, ‏like children,
without fear, without heat or cold,
‏And a spark shall creep before your eyes,
‏Evidence that we have returned
‏from what was.
 
‏Soon you will raise your hands,
‏That does not mean that you surrender,
‏You are finally free,
‏Like that time you told me,
‏'There is a Great God, that watches over us from there,'
‏There are the things that we forget,
‏They will continue to beat, Only at a new pace,
Like that time you told me,
‏'There is a Great God, That watches over you and I.'
 
‏Soon a skyline will reveal,
‏In colors of orange and white,
‏And when the sun rises and sets,
‏We will capture the moment,
‏Only in our eyes.
‏And maybe even come back to ourselves,
‏We’ll understand that there is no meaning to the pursuit,
‏And words will come back to affect,
‏Like they always have affected,
‏Before our hearts fall asleep.
 
‏Soon you will raise your hands,
‏That does not mean that you surrender,
‏You are finally free,
‏Like that time you told me,
‏'There is a Great God, that watches over us from there,'
‏There are the things that we forget,
‏They will continue to beat, Only at a new pace,
Like that time you told me,
‏'There is a Great God, That watches over you and I'

Medication

They told me it's temporary
What if I took the wrong train?
It's true, I'm not old
Always under the impression that it's the end
Promise, i'm not angry
Simply fed up of crawling in the morning
I draw a line on my past
Break the pencil, I tear the painting
I need medication, I would like to survive but tell me how
I need 10 tranquillisers to put me to sleep without sticky lashes
I need medication, sorry mom but yes
I'm suspicious now, my laughter is less frequent than before
I'm suspicious now, my laughter is less frequent than before
Even the night falls with me
We can skate on my dark circles
I break the mirror when I see myself
Open wounds so I shut myself up
The seconds become months
Life is a Western conquest
In my jaw there is a debate
To know who will crack first
I need a medicine, I would like to survive but tell me how
I need 10 tranquillisers to put me to sleep without sticky lashes
I need medication, sorry mom but yes
I'm suspicious now, my laughter is less frequent than before
I need a medicine, I would like to survive but tell me how
I need 10 tranquillisers to put me to sleep without sticky lashes
I need medication, sorry mom but yes
I'm suspicious now, my laughter is less frequent than before
I'm suspicious now, my laughter is less frequent than before
The press me like a lemon, I'm going to end up in the tank
In distress, pin-pon-pin-pon, how do I blush the dull complexion?
I am pressed faster than the sound, I do not dare to screw everything up
They tell me 'distress, wait you're stupid, you have so many beautiful things to do'
The press me like a lemon, I'm going to end up in the tank
In distress, pin-pon-pin-pon, how do I blush, the dull complexion?
I am pressed faster than the sound, I do not dare to screw everything up
They tell me 'distress, wait you're stupid, you have so many beautiful things to do', ah

I couldn't say we broke up (x2)
 
Our love began with you with hope
Why we broke up I couldn't know (x2)

I couldn't laugh what i did (x2)

I Didn't Fall,Yet

Step,Zemheri× eyes is step
İf the earth and sky are four wall slowly
I didn't fall,yet
Those who in love with heavy narrow streets deeply
Make to stand up those who fell slowly
I didn't fall,yet
 
Dry cold,hit me,if you are gonna hit, with no shame
O Fortune,you turn back,too if you are gonna turn back
Quickly lose your light,Orphan star and dive in deep
Doomsday,you come too,if you are gonna to come
Why didn't your night,your day recognize me?

Silk Stockings

In the evening, by car, with the top down,
You go out for a ride filled with pride,
With your skirt as short as possible
Because you want to show off your legs.
 
Legs that are wearing, very coquettishly,
Beige silk stockings
That make even prettier the little shoes
That your tiny feet are showcasing.
 
[Chorus:]
Fine silk stockings,
The ones that you love so very much!
Fine silk stockings
That have a mysterious allure...
And, in the maddened temptation
Of your most intimate affairs,
You threw out those others
That were so humble, made out of cotton.

 
First stockings, then dresses,
Later on a haircut à la garçon.
Good quality hats, expensive jewels
And a very pretty little love nest.
 
Driven around, each night you go to ...
Hard partying, a senseless glamour!
Those fine silk stockings were the ones
That brought about your perdition!
 
[Chorus:]
Fine silk stockings,
The ones that you love so very much!
Fine silk stockings
That have a mysterious allure...
And, in the maddened temptation
Of your most intimate affairs,
You threw out those others
That were so humble, made out of cotton.

My city

We were here, you and I and love
and love is a spring that brings us together, remember those days?
 
You gifted me a flower necklace and poems of love
and our initials inscribed in trees
telling the world our story, as our city glimmers night and day
 
My city my city my city my city
My city my city my city my city
 
My city is another word for beauty
all the corners are adorned by the golden sun rays
 
Trees, flowers and roses covering it in all colors
and the sun breeze touching us, drawing us over branches
looking forward to a familiar tomorrow, playing us with loving fingers,
my love, like melodies
 
My city my city my city my city
My city my city my city my city
 
My city is my home and my meadow, my family and my being,
the beauty of the world in a place that resembles me and my dreams
 
It's the home of everyone I love, the scent of my relatives' love
sneaking between the veins, running like blood in my artery
 
My city my city my city my city
My city my city my city my city

The Convoy Song (Shir Hashayara)

Once we all used to speak just every language
And didn’t know each other, and it caused some anguish
We had to leave all places that we lived in
And came to one and only place that we believed in
We had to leave all places that we lived in
And came to one and only place that we believed in
 
And the convoy carries on
From some centuries long gone
Look at them all gathered here
Farmers, workers, pioneers
All who toiled and who travailed
And haven’t reached the final trail
Now it is our turn, we’re walking
On the country’s gate we’re knocking
No, we’re not afraid of danger
‘Cause it is our life’s adventure
 
We burst from ghettos, camps and from confinement
And came to swamps and barren land with one assignment
We came from Russia, Poland and Arabia
And built Dimona, also Dgania and what have ya
We came from Russia, Poland and Arabia
And built Dimona, also Dgania and what have ya
 
From every corner of the earth
To a new people we gave birth
A new country has been born here
And a language that was dormant
Is awake with chitter-chatter
And we are no longer scattered
Yes, the storm is not yet quiet
And we have to fight the riots
But our deepest hope we’re voicing
‘Cause there’s so much for rejoicing
 
See Israel, the gem that it’s becoming
Yes, we are stronger, much more than all our shortcomings
You’ll see, one day the Negev, too, will flourish
And our Ben Gurion will be happy and well-nourished
You’ll see, one day the Negev, too, will flourish
And our Ben Gurion will be happy and well-nourished
 
From every corner of the earth
To a new people we gave birth
A new country has been born here
And a language that was dormant
Is awake with chitter-chatter
And we are no longer scattered
Yes, the storm is not yet quiet
And we have to fight the riots
But our deepest hope we’re voicing
‘Cause there’s so much for rejoicing

Mediterranean

A melody in your mouth
Eyes that chase
A glow in the middle of a street
Of lips that I’ll forget
While the wind blows away
Even the last bonfire
 
I could tell you another lie
I could tell you something about me
But I don’t know anything about you
But it doesn’t matter even though
On the street they talk about me
The rest I’ll save for you
 
Stay calm if this is a rodeo
Karma will take care of it, come on
It’s hot and your pareo is hanging low
And when the sun asks
The moon where I’ll go
I’ll go wherever you go
Nowhere else
 
When you dance your body moves with mine
And this night seems like the last
Don’t turn away from here
From here the streets seem like the roof of the world
And Mediterranean music
Mediterranean
 
It looks like it appears and then it disappears
Would you like to try again
Do it, want to do it
Come on, you want to do it
I remember that you like to play
Pain doesn’t hurt, no
It’s like scoring goals
But the sea isn’t love no
I won’t call you, you can hope, you can hope
Like a casino
And when the sun asks
The moon where I’ll go
I’ll go wherever you go
Nowhere else
 
When you dance your body moves with mine
And this night seems like the last
Don’t turn away from here
From here the streets seem like the roof of the world
And Mediterranean music
Mediterranean
 
And the rhythm that when it slows down
And your skin that tempts me
Your mouth, mouth, your truth I know
Who touches, touches doesn’t deserve you
However
 
When you dance your body moves with mine
And this night seems like the last
Don’t turn away from here
From here the streets seem like the roof of the world
And Mediterranean music
Mediterranean

És ha ő volt

Ma zaklatott a szívem
Megérinthetett egy angyal
Éreztem egy lehelet súrolását
Még az idő is megállt
A testem észrevette
Ez a szeretet kérdése
És a szerelemé
 
Akár az ég küldötte, úgy tűnik, ő senkitől sem fél
Akár a lázadók kikkel szembeszállt és sosem adta meg magát
Azt mondja hűséges míg meg nem égeti szárnyait
Meglátott engem
Mosolygott rám
És ha ő volt
Azt hiszem ő szintén megértette
Az egyetlen egy, immáron
És ha én voltam
Én őneki
 
Ma az életem felfordult
 
Egy idegen megváltoztatott
Mindent összekevert, felforgatott
Nézd
A kezeim remegnek
És a hangom elfojtott
A bőröm bizsergett
És bár azt hiszem megvagyok magam
Rá várok
 
Mint az ég küldötte, úgy tűnik, ő senkitől sem fél
Mint a lázadók kikkel szembeszállt és sosem adta meg magát
Azt mondja hűséges míg meg nem égeti szárnyait
Meglátott engem
Mosolygott rám
És ha ő volt
Azt hiszem ő szintén megértette
Az egyetlen egy, immáron
És ha én voltam
Én őneki
 
Mint az ég küldötte, úgy tűnik, ő senkitől sem fél
Mint a lázadók kikkel szembeszállt és sosem adta meg magát
Azt mondja hűséges míg meg nem égeti szárnyait
Meglátott engem
Mosolygott rám
És ha ő volt
Azt hiszem ő szintén megértette
Az egyetlen egy, immáron
És ha én voltam
Én őneki

You couldn't be happy

What more bad things will happen to me
I couldn't attain my desires in life
If eyes flooded by tears, they flow in vain
My damned life... you couldn't be happy (even) during one day
Darling, you couldn't be happy
 
You couldn't be happy (X2)
My damned life...you couldn't be happy (even) during one day
Darling, you couldn't be happy
 
How my fate is badly written like this
This distress / ordeal isn't ending by enduring
You wittingly ruined me by your fire of love
My damned life... you couldn't be happy (even) during one day
Darling, you couldn't be happy
 
You couldn't be happy (X2) be happy
My damned life...you couldn't be happy (even) during one day
Darling, you couldn't be happy

Szemtől szembe

Kegyelemre várva
Falakhoz ragasztva
Szemtől szembe, szemben a másikkal
 
Egy kép megrepedt
Minden zavaros lett
Mások tekintetétől
 
Csak mert az ellenkezője az intoleranciának
Csak mert az erőszak fogságában van
Csak mert különb
Az ítélet adott, bármit teszünk
 
Az ártatlan szerelem hiánya miatt
Szeretünk és nem szeretünk, anélkül, hogy ismernénk
A türelmetlen szeretet bűne
Szeretünk és nem szeretünk, anélkül, hogy bármikor is feltűnnél
Anélkül, hogy bármikor is feltűnnél
 
Kitéve a sértéseknek
Rémülten
És felnézve, felnézve a másikra
 
Nincsen közép út
Cenzúrált hiba
Semmi sem törölheti ezt
 
Csak mert az ellenkezője az intoleranciának
Csak mert az erőszak fogságában van
Csak mert a csend rabja
Védtelenek vagyunk, bármit is teszünk
 
Az ártatlan szerelem hiánya miatt
Szeretünk és nem szeretünk, anélkül, hogy ismernénk
A türelmetlen szeretet bűne
Szeretünk és nem szeretünk, anélkül, hogy bármikor is feltűnnél
 
A bizalmatlanság hiánya miatt
Szorosan követünk, szeretünk
A bizalom megsértése
Zsákutcába kerítettünk, nem szeretünk
 
Szeretünk
Szemtől szembe, szemben a másikkal
Szeretünk
Anélkül, hogy felnéznél, teret adnál a másiknak
 
Az ártatlan szerelem hiánya miatt
Szeretünk és nem szeretünk, anélkül, hogy ismernénk
A türelmetlen szeretet bűne
Szeretünk és nem szeretünk, anélkül, hogy bármikor is feltűnnél
 
A bizalmatlanság hiánya miatt
Szorosan követünk, szeretünk
A bizalom megsértése
Zsákutcába kerítettünk, nem szeretünk
Szeretünk, szeretünk, nem szeretünk

I've been praying for years (O Medina)

I've been making Du'a1 for years,
To go to Hajj2 one day.
To perform the Ka'bah Tawaf3,
To utter 'Labbayk Allah4!'
 
At the Maqam-e-Ibrahim5,
To perform Namaz6,
To drink Zamzam7 water,
To heal my Iman8.
 
Chorus:
O , o Medina,
Will I get to see your beauty?
Will I be granted Naseeha9,
To be your Musafir10?
 
All the Hajjis11 which were there,
Utter the same words:
Medina is the most beautiful,
And Nur12 is coming out of it.
 
O Allah, when will I see,
All the places of our Rasul13,
And pray two Rakat14
In his Jami'a15?
 
Chorus.
 
Every night I'm getting up,
To pray Qiyamu-l-Layl16.
While crying in Sajdah17, I say:
O Allah, make me one of your Hajjis.
 
The Mecca and Medina,
To see with my own eyes,
To die, and not regret,
And that my eyes remain open.
 
Chorus.

What You're Feeling

A lot has happened by now, I know,
I thought to myself I should measure the distance,
I hear the news on the radio,
The weatherman claims it will rain soon,
And you're far away now, I know,
All of your promises
are lying here on the clotheslines,
And I have no special way of winning,
This gaze of yours that came back to me,
 
Because up until yesterday I was pretty sure,
That you've gone out of my heart and my head,
That this hourglass already ran out,
Suddenly I'm not calm anymore,
If only you'd say what you're feeling.
And up until yesterday, the longing was asleep,
And warm colors have returned to paint
my day in consolation,
Suddenly I'm not calm anymore,
If only you'd say what you're feeling.
 
Some coffee would help now, I know,
I remember how you'd drink it slowly,
And an old song that was playing in the background,
Connected all the lines one by one,
And you're far away now, I know,
You've always told me that this day would come and here it is,
And I have no special way of winning,
You don't die from love nowadays.
 
Because up until yesterday I was pretty sure,
That you've gone out of my heart and my head,
That this hourglass already ran out,
Suddenly I'm not calm anymore,
If only you'd say what you're feeling.
And up until yesterday, the longing was asleep,
And warm colors have returned to paint
my day in consolation,
Suddenly I'm not calm anymore,
If only you'd say what you're feeling.
 
A lot has happened by now, I know,
I thought to myself I should measure the distance.

Still Waters Run Deep

I saw him at a party
For the very first time
And he wasn't even dancing
He couldn't hold my interest at all
 
And my friends said,
'There's not much to know about him.'
They said, 'He's shy,
And a wet blanket as well.'
 
But just then I remembered the old saying
That everyone knows:
 
Still waters run deep
That gave me pause
And so from then on I started
To send looks his way
 
Still waters run deep
There must be something to that saying
Otherwise, there wouldn't be any meaning
In this old saying at all
 
Out of pure curiosity I
Asked him about all sorts of things
But he hardly looked at me
And hardly said anything.
 
But later he took my hand
He even kissed me
That's when I realized
How true the old saying was
 
He held me in his arm
My heart pounded with alarm
 
Still waters run deep
That gave me pause
And so from then on I started
To give him my heart
 
Still waters run deep
Yes, there is a lot to that saying
It was a very smart fellow
Who came up with that saying

A fejemben

A fejemben
Te vagy az, akit egész életemben kerestem
Te vagy az egyetlen, aki meg tudná változtatni a gondolatomat
Megértettem minden okot
Szeretlek
A fejemben
 
Ha az idő ad nekünk egy kis időt
Ha tudomásul vesszük a holnapot, mit ad
Igazán semmi sem választhat el minket!
 
Szeretlek
A fejemben
Tovább és tovább
Egymáshoz tartozunk
Nem lehet rossz
Mikor te vagy minden amit akarok
Szeretlek
A fejemben
 
Sosem tudtam, hogy ez igaz lehet, a nem tervezett álmatlan éjszakák
Hajlandó vagyok fejlődni, ha menni akarsz
Itt tarthatnálak
 
A mi titkos szerelmünk
Minden szeretet emlékeztet minket
Az okra, a szenvedélyre
Minden visszatérés örök
 
A fejemben
Még ha szemem nem látja, mit a te szemed
Még ha bőrünk sosem találkozik
Tudom, ezzel a magánnyal sosem lehetne szeretni
A fejemben
 
Távol a szemtől
Lehetnénk, te és én
Nincs távol a szívtől
Mert valahol máshol vagyunk
 
Szeretlek
A fejemben
 
REFRÉN
 
Mérföldekkel távolabb de mindig a szívemben
Bármikor
Adsz egy jelet, és mindig ott leszek
 
REFRÉN
 
A fejemben
A fejemben
Itt tarthatnálak
A fejemben
A fejemben
Ez az egyetlen egy harcom
A fejemben

Mediterranean

In my mind there’s a land,
A path through the ridge,
A journey, a sacred place:
It’s a day blooming with songs
On the stars of my dreams,
On the stars of my dreams.
 
A hand that travels
From a guitar to a wing
Is sowing songs and tales,
A hand like a bee
Through the veils of the wind,
Through the veils of the wind.
 
I have a land in my mind, foam of island
I have a land in my mind, seeds of water
Mediterranean, Mediterranean
My country to be done… Mediterranean…
 
The wind brings seeds
Of islands, dreams in mind
With a song that goes
Looking for new verses
In an old poem,
In an old poem.
 
The sun will rise again
On the fronds of the tales,
On your throat, on your forehead.
Tomorrow they will talk about it
From east to west,
From east to west.

And Now She's There


I am a nobody, no one sees me
They tell me that I gave the best of my love
And when I see her, I thank the God
And pray that her life will be beautiful and shadeless
And Juliette had grown
 
And now she's there, she's in love with him
The childhood is gone, she's leaving me
And it is I who is captive in the cradle of her babyhood
It is not I whom she wants
And only I have never given up on her
And now she's there, she loves him
And her heart is full
 
And she who was once mine, now belongs to another
When her mother said 'My daughter', I felt how my heart was flaming
Why, for their husbands' sake, do so many women forget
That the birthing and the contractions, will bring them to their twenties
And Juliette had grown
 
And now she's there, she's in love with him
She's a woman now, and she's leaving me
And I who sees, who watches without a word
Shall give her my entire life
To my child who grew
 
And now she's there, in love with him
And her heart is full
And now she's there, and now I know
That love is the devil
Give me courage and strength
To get used to this groom
And now she's there, she loves him
And her heart is full
 
And now she's there

Gyógyír

Úgy érzem, kezdem elveszíteni az eszem
A falba verem a fejem
Nem tudok elaludni, a semmibe merengek
Nem tudom abbahagyni, túl sokat gondolkodok
Mitévő legyek? Darabokra hullok
Kellene egy csapás a szívembe
Senki sem vágyhat most a helyembe
 
Nem kell nekem whisky
Sem pedig jég
Nem fogok pirulát bevenni
Pirulát bevenni
Mert ha azt akarom, hogy megszűnjön a fájdalom
Hogy egy pillanat alatt elmúljon
Csak te segíthetsz
Te vagy számomra a gyógyír
A gyógyír, a gyógyír
Te vagy számomra a gyógyír
 
Szakértője vagyok a dolgok bonyolításának
Ilyennek születtem, nem nagy élvezet, nekem elhiheted
Veled viszont a háború is könnyed játéknak tűnik
Csókolj meg, és elfelejtem az egészet
Te vagy a fehér zászló a lövészárokban
Amitől megadom magam
Pokolian vágyom rád
Ne hagyd abba, amit elkezdtél
Ne hagyd abba soha
 
Nem kell nekem whisky
Sem pedig jég
Nem fogok pirulát bevenni
Pirulát bevenni
Mert ha azt akarom, hogy megszűnjön a fájdalom
Hogy egy pillanat alatt elmúljon
Csak te segíthetsz
Te vagy számomra a gyógyír
A gyógyír, a gyógyír
Te vagy számomra a gyógyír
 
Te mindent szebbé varázsolsz
Veled teljesnek érzem magam
Te mindent szebbé varázsolsz
Veled teljesnek érzem magam
 
Nem kell nekem whisky
Sem pedig jég
Nem fogok pirulát bevenni
Pirulát bevenni
Mert ha azt akarom, hogy megszűnjön a fájdalom
Hogy egy pillanat alatt elmúljon
Csak te segíthetsz
Te vagy számomra a gyógyír
A gyógyír, a gyógyír
Te vagy számomra a gyógyír
 
Te vagy számomra a gyógyír
