Salmo 110, 3 Dominare.

Be thou ruler,
even in the midst among thine enemies.
 

It illuminates me today

Today it's real, today I don't want to know anything
Today it does not matter, today I don't plan to find out
if they like me, if they betray me
I will make something up
if my bones scream at me, they suffer
I see it raining, I think something's illuminating me today
I will break this curse
I swear by God, this anguish ends because of
the decision I should have made so long ago
I don't want to see if they forget or name me
Today more than yesterday I can go out of the shadow
I go there, I carry marks on my chest
It has to be already, because of my want to be able to
stop looking at the ceiling
I will make something up
if my bones scream at me, they suffer
I see it raining, I think something's illuminating me today
I will break this curse
I swear by God, this anguish ends because of
the decision I should have made so long ago
 

Fragmented innocence

Every time we arrange for a date it's raining
It was fun to stare deeply at our faces
The first day of that love
I want someone to bring it here
The man who was staring at me passionately
I want to meet him again
 
They always make me hear a requiem on that clubroom
I'm prosperous even of my clumsy way of grabbing the tea
Why I wake up on an unexpected moment
Love me this way
It's still incredible
That you put on a goodbye face
 
I always end up without ripen anything
Even if I can shed one or two young tears
The first day of that love
I want someone to bring it here
Like his chest throbbing
I'd understand the one I love
The first day of that love
I want someone to bring it here

Spirit of the wintry wind

On the park road where dead leaves fall dancing
You passed me by
The north wind was disordering your long hair
You were walking at fast pace looking down
Without any voice saying 'How are you?'
You seemed to be lonely
Your eyes showing sorrow
Were crying with the cold wintry wind
 
Surely you can't bring that person back to your memories
You kept walking without having a place to go
If you talk to me, your heart will get lighter
Please turn your face to me anytime
 
Though I'm not affected by the cold
My body shivers a little
I was feeling that way
When I saw the red setting sun
 
My innocent figure is loaded on your back
Love sadness is something that ends dissapearing
If you talk to me, your heart will get lighter
Please turn your face to me anytime
If you talk to me, your heart will get lighter
Please turn your face to me anytime

Sad fairy

How many letters do I have to send to meet you?
How many tears I have to cry for my love to reach you?
I loiter in the journey of a zigzagging love
Ah, please darling, lend me a hand and save me
 
How much I have to hurt myself to become an adult?
How much I have to stretch out to reach happiness?
I loiter in the journey of a zigzagging love
Ah, darling, teach me the answer
 
Men are travelers, they just pass by
Just by crossing inside my heart, they disappear
Hey, how many times should I kiss you for you to turn your face?
How many sleepless nights should I count for the morning to come?
 
Men are travelers, they just pass by
Just by crossing inside my heart, they disappear
Hey, How many winters I have to pass for the spring to come?
Say only an 'I like you' and I'll wait for my cheeks to dye
I'll wait for my cheeks to dye

Loveless generation

Ah, I'll forgive you everything
Even if my heart scars get stiff
Ah, I'll forgive you bad boy
After all, youth won't return to you
 
Through the parlor glass, you sit by the window
On her thin hand, you put a ring
I saw you hidden on the sidewalk mailbox
On the spring of faded colors, my back freezes
 
Ah, I'll forgive you of her
I'll break my diary by scribbling
Ah, I'll forgive you that memo
There's no way it can reach to your hand
 
When we fought, you said 'sorry' on the phone
I understood that I had no news for two months
I walk covered in tears to the mall station
The drizzle got me wet like watercolors
 
Ah, I'll forgive you the sadness
Someday it will disappear in the season
Ah, I'll forgive you, that's a lie
In fact, I curse you till death
 
Ah, I'll forgive you everything
Even if my heart scars get stiff
Ah, I'll forgive you bad boy
After all, youth won't return to you

Water Reflection

Sinking further and further
I can’t see anything, i don't want to see anything anyway
 
What a convenient world isn’t
How painful, even more than underwater
The more you believe, the more you will be betrayed.
I’m done living that way
 
Isn’t this world weird?
 
Why are you laughing? Won’t crying be enough
In a world where people who want to cry cant.
What is it there to live for?
 
Painful, painful, struggling, desperately
So easily rejected, I can’t get through
 
Even if there is no tomorrow, it is fine by me
Nothing will change anyway
 
My heart is about to tear up
Why is it so painful?
What am I lacking?
Is it wrong to fake a laugh?
I have no choice but to laugh
 
Who made such a world?
 
I want to laugh, I want to cry
In this vast world where i do not belong
What should i live for?
 
Why are you laughing? Won’t crying be enough
In a world where people who want to cry cant.
What is it there to live for?
 
I want to laugh, I want to cry
In this vast world where I do not belong
What should i live for?
 
Distrusting, full of lies, I am sinking deeper
Drowning in this water reflection
 
From Cookie with Love!

I Wish

I wish for light in darkened nights
I wish that we would not stay lost
I wish for joy in chores and work
When it gets better
And these worries fade away, I wish
For your warming hand in my hand
 
I wish
(I wish)
For a smile up to my eyes
I wish for a touching look
I wish that one could actually
Love, as if for the first time
Dreams can finally pass, I wish
For the bubbling bliss of life
 
I wish comfort for the lonely
I wish for bridges between us, I wish
Warmth for those in need, it alone will keep the heart safe
And guard it the best, I wish
That those fears of ours might die
 
That one could actually
Love, as if for the first time
Dreams can finally pass, I wish
For the bubbling bliss of life
 
I wish for the serenity of a child
I wish for belief in the power of love
I wish for a path towards the new
And for inner peace, as I go
Trusting in tomorrow again
 
I wish
(I wish)
For our faded hope to come true
That one could actually
Love, as if for the first time
Dreams can finally pass, I wish
For the bubbling bliss of life
 

A Song About Tanja

She was pretty, Tanjuša*, there was no one prettier than her in the village
By the hem there were red patches, her body covered in sarafan**
 
Over the fence, into the hollow, Tanja goes when the night falls
The moon dances with its clouds in a sooty fog
 
A boy comes and bows to Tanja with his curly head
Farewell, my happiness, I have to take another as my wife
 
She went as pale as death, as cold as morning dew
Her braid fell apart, hung from her shoulder like a snake
 
Oh, my blue-eyed boy, I don't mean to offend you
You know, I came to tell you, that I'm marrying another
 
This isn't the ringing of church bells in the morning, it's the shouting of the wedding guests
A wild wedding on a wagon passed by in a blink of an eye
 
This isn't a call of a cuckoo, it's the terror of the kinsfolk
There's a ghastly wound caused by a mace on Tanja's temples
 
She was pretty, Tanjuša, there was no one prettier than her in the village
By the hem there were red patches, her body covered in sarafan
 

With an open heart (Sognando)

Maybe I dance into emptiness
maybe I play with fire
maybe I shall have to live half-heartedly*
 
Not bursting out laughing too often
never feeling sadness
being nothing but a smile
being nothing but a puppet.
 
Maybe death exists
maybe he looks daggers at me
but he'll always come too soon
and so what, screw him!
 
I'll never read the book
in which we learn to be happy
so I may just as well add fuel to the fire
 
I may as well bite into every apple,
sow each and every one of the seeds of my madness,
grab the present by its horns,
I claim the right to waste my life!
 
So let the party begin,
don't mix water into my wine.
Not every night is luxurious,
tomorrow doesn't always come after each day.
 
I want the lilacs to grow again
where my love has gone,
want loneliness to lie at my feet.
 
I want to sleep in palaces,
I want to roll into the mud,
to belong to the one and only race,
the race of those who come from anywhere.
 
Maybe I am mad
and I am just talking nonsense,
maybe I get drunk on words
but I don't give a damn, I'm drinking tonight!
 
I want to love passionately
I want to scream at the top of my lungs
I am just as much a woman as I am an animal
and so what?
 
I too can say 'I love you'
I've said it thousands of times
but if I want to become a bitch
it's none of your business!
 
I'm not like everybody,
I've got nothing in common with you,
You who say that the Earth is round,
you who always know where you're going.
 
I don't know what I'm looking for,
I don't even know where due North is.
I only know that grass is green
and even that...**
 
I know that this night will be a sleepless one
and that I cry and I laugh
and that there's a strong chance
it may last for the rest of my life.
 
Maybe my life
is but a joke in the face of despair***
but I can't care, tonight I'll sing
and so what? to hell with mirrors!
 

Honest diary

Ah, why? Do I do these things I wonder
Ah, why? Nothing but him/her, it's always him/her
Because I'm already at my limit. Ah, again.. With this.. Look.. I went and said it again
 
Things like getting hate from people are only words
 
Says the one who's becoming truly alone
 
00:02:02.060,00:02:06.720
Actually knowing what it is, and be it too (alone)
What's next?
Looks like a tough time ahead
 
Me with a clever mouth, I presently can't do anything
I have no money, no love, but
 
I'm fine with this
I am. Tomorrow and the day after. Just a bystander
Just that was fine. It was fine
I'll just humor (trick) you with this crap, you said
 
You are really such an idiot
 
'I love you', such words are... lies
Especially you young ladies who spout it all the time
...Yep...Bull's eye.
Be it a close friend, a partner, or just someone you don't care about
You do it willfully
 
It's really funny, look (sounds like it's not really funny)
They look like they are piles of dust
These words used to... violate
Just as I realized. A person... Understood the fever.
Understood the ice so cold it's freezing to touch they both did
 
One day I'll feel a pain. And one day, the scar will vanish as well
I don't get it (there is no way/I don't know how)
 
I'm fine with this
I'm fine with this
I'm fine with this
I'm fine with this
 
I'm fine with that
Even with my rotting future too
And at the end
There was no choice but to grow up
 
It's really bad...
 
From Cookie with Love!

the mind returns

the mind goes where does it go
who knows...
i feel like a women like this , how ?
outside its a world that is already waiting for me, i know...
 
i want to live even for me
to discover what it is
i want
to open the door ,but...
 
when you arrive ,the mind returns
my heart closes
and around me the space is immense,
that even I no longer make sense.
 
when you arrive the world is lightened
what was mine you have already taken
there are no more hesitations
i will ask you only if you forgive me
 
you do not greet me ,you sit and than you open the newspaper ,you do not see me anymore
you leave me alone like this why?
i fly without you
i have already decided ,but ...
 
when you talk to me ,my mind returns
my heart is already closed
and around me the space is immense,
that even I no longer make sense
 
when you arrive the world is lightened
what was mine you have already taken
there are no more hesitations
i will ask you only if you forgive me

Don't remember

Remember me, at least in pieces
We're done with it but it's not over yet
Remember me, Lone Wolf
Remember the snow of our magic night
Remember me, at least in pieces
We're done with it but it's not over yet
Remember me, Lone Wolf
Remember the snow of our magic night
 
With a crazy rhythm you showed me the dark world
You stayed with me like airy poetry
Of Corneille* that you left forgotten
Playing and showing off from time to time
How much I want to hold you close and forget about everything
I'm thinking back and it seems that snow was you
The story's with no beginning or end, running on empty
You are a strategist, conquered my land
 
Remember me, at least in pieces
We're done with it but it's not over yet
Remember me, Lone Wolf
Remember the snow of our magic night
Remember me, at least in pieces
We're done with it but it's not over yet
Remember me, Lone Wolf
Remember me, remember..
 
It's really sad that things are so complicated
All that covered our roads was unreal
Taste of my skin on a knife blade
You're a perfumer in the fire
It's such a shame that we will never be together
Remember my sad kindness, at least from time to time
Keep in mind that I am there for you, my dear Wolf
If you ever want to be yourself, my address is the same
I still remember every kiss and every touch
I got lost in the desert of your sweet lies
You were the first of us who let the sadness go
Time will put all the things in order
Vice and crystal water are in your eyes
I thought you were a devil, but you're just a man
The only way out of my obsession is to run away
So I am running from my fate to the magic snow
 
Remember me, at least in pieces
We're done with it but it's not over yet
Remember me, Lone Wolf
Remember the snow of our magic night
Remember me, at least in pieces
We're done with it but it's not over yet
Remember me, Lone Wolf
Remember me, remember..
 
Who are you? Where are you now?
Do things go like you wanted?
How've you been?
Burnt all the bridges, turned them into smoke?
What should we do? Forget it all?
Turn all answers into dust?
Or just love
Who are you? Where are you now?
Do things go like you wanted?
How've you been?
Burnt all the bridges, turned them into smoke?
What should we do? Forget it all?
Turn all answers into dust?
Or just love

Pain is Beauty

(intro)
Just try me
Yeah
Pain is beauty
I will tell you
 
Even now i'm still a lonely girl
The crossroads appeared too many times
Every time someone is chosen again
Between 'Yes and No', I prefer to be invisible
Nobody can understand why
I don't want to get hurt
I stay quiet because I can't say I understand
 
Everyone around me is judging me
But I don't have the power to say it
I'm not asking for a lot
I just want to be protected by someone
My long sleeves cover my wounds
So it helped me feel stronger
 
Don't come near me
All my words are full of lies
If I get out of here
I can do anything so i said
 
Go away, I'm not afraid of being alone
I want to look stronger
But I wonder if I really am that strong
So try me, I love the pain, I finally understand it now
Pain is such a beautiful feeling
That made it beautiful too
Pain is beauty
 
The world has always been cold towards me
But apparently I am the one without common sense
But because it doesn't make any sense
I just accepted the complexity and tried again
Let me show you how I fight, baby
Come here when you're tired
I would like to sing this song to the important people
 
But it's hard because it's the same old words
Stubbornly burst into my heart
I want to feel, I want to feel this pain
I was not realising all the songs I heard
were such a precious thing to me
Even though I was singing them so casually
 
I was told that I was loved
but i didn't notice it
I don't care if you have anything else you have to say
Go and hate me all you want
 
Go away, I'm not afraid of being alone
I want to look stronger
But I wonder if I really am that strong
So try me, I love the pain, I finally understand it now
Pain is such a beautiful feeling
that made it beautiful too
 
If you keep on going forward
I wonder if the sadness will ever go away
All the blood and tears I shed
I painted them into colours and they became beautiful
 
Go away, I'm not afraid of being alone
I want to look stronger
But I wonder if I really am that strong
So try me, I love the pain, I finally understand it now
Pain is such a beautiful feeling
That made it beautiful too
Pain is beauty
 

The Responsible

The fault of my foolishness
the blame lays on you
you treated me with sweetness,
patiently only you.
 
Restlessness (concern) I've got in life
only for you, woman,
I do have to pin the blame on you
of my dreadful sorrow.
 
Your eyes, you lips,
your sweet gaze
my soul has been spellbound (beguiled)
and I don't have anything to do other than crying.
 

My fault

From a friend to a little more- high society
with the air of the 19th century, like an emperor.
How boring it is to stay here? How long will it last?
Old people, dazed people- if this keeps going, I'll fall asleep.
 
How I am, I don't know, how do you think I am
without my sweaters and my Indian tunics?
What nostalgia from jeans, nothing rock and roll,
you steal a kiss from me, then you say 'I've been tired for a little'
 
Chorus:
It's my fault I love you,
it's my fault,
It's my fault that I always follow you,
it's my fault.
 
But why, why don't we go
get out of here and change our clothes.
I want to be with you,
alone with you.
But why, why don't you understand
the anger I have that shocks you.
I want to have you to myself,
only for myself.
 
From a friend to something more - high society,
Butlers in black and shining for millions.
What a nuisance to stay here! How long will it last?
I have a better idea- let's go home, you'll get it later.
 
Chorus:
It's my fault I love you,
it's my fault,
It's my fault that I always follow you,
it's my fault.
 
But why, why don't we go
get out of here and change our clothes.
I want to be with you,
alone with you.
But why, why don't you understand
the anger I have that shocks you.
I want to have you to myself,
only for myself.
 

I'm a Pop

Where are you from? Ay
Anywhere
wherever someone is
no matter what
all the time
Why not?
 
What do you think if I speak Korean?
All of this talent is because of my mom.
Do you envy me? I know all about that.
I'm getting a lot of abuse.
 
This music has no name.
Why is it that's all my own real melody, and that's all my lyrics?
with someone's freedom
 
I’m a pop, I’m a rock
And I’m a hip-hop
I can’t breathe in here
stuffy
I’m a pop, I’m a rock
And I’m a hip-hop
It's stuffy in here
stuffy
 
Everybody cares about it wherever it is.
I was listening in silence. be already in the air
He's not hip-hop. He's tired of hip-hop and so on. Doctor
I wanted to express it more than hip-hop or hit songs.
I'm honest with you about genre and culture.'
What's it like to be somebody or something like that?
Shame and deserved criticism.
If you think you're gonna chew me, come here.
If you hide, you'll lose all your chances.
 
This music has no name.
I'm just going to have a real melody, and I'm just going to have this song.
with someone's freedom
 
I’m a pop, I’m a rock
And I’m a hip-hop
I can’t breathe in here
stuffy
I’m a pop, I’m a rock
And I’m a hip-hop
It's stuffy in here
stuffy
 
Don't let me ride. Baby.
What's wrong with greed?
this music of my own
I want everything.
I want everything.
 
I’m a pop, I’m a rock
And I’m a hip-hop
I can’t breathe in here
stuffy
I’m a pop, I’m a rock
And I’m a hip-hop
It's stuffy in here
stuffy
 

Illumination

I'm sure the suit color for you
Is not red, blue or yellow
Even the burning flame
There is the only one color will left
 
To be happy is
Have to pay something
I see the sky that seems to be crying
I know your strength
 
Like the color that seems dirty
You are sulking like that
without being seen by other people
you wipe your tears on your sleeves
 
I'll take you to the city that cover in pure white
The beautiful green and red light
Until the sleeve arm being warms
The footprints of the two peoples
which coloured snowy road
 
If goodness has color
It is not red, blue or yellow
Mix them all together
and only one color is formed
 
It's gray, right
Don't wrinkle your face
Without knowing by other people
you spend the night without sleep
 
Let's go to our home
On the way back it looks like a silhouette
The Footprints face each other and hold hands
to the people who smell of dinner
 
It seems to be strong and weak
But, gray is the color that is given to you
which looks weak and strong
 
This year, winter feels warm
I’ve told you earlier
In a such moment, the world
become pure white like this
 
I'll take you to the city that cover in pure white
The beautiful green and red light
Until the sleeve arm being warms
The footprints of the two peoples
which coloured snowy road
and the footprint continues
 

Snow

And I'd like to think about it some more,
we're frightened by this angel.
Come to think of it, it's true, who knows where is
the last word that concerned you.
 
But you're, you're
you're like snow
when touched it's already melted
and you don't know where it is anymore.
 
Only a flying image
and you're in my mind, yes,
only in my mind, like that,
only in my mind, you.
I'm vague in my mind.
 
Who among us already has an idea?
Seeing you again and not talking with you makes me shiver,
mad obsession of those who don't know who is
a new love being born here.
 
But you're, you're
you're like snow
when touched it's already melted
and you don't know how it is anymore.
 
Only a flying image
and you're in my mind, yes,
only in my mind, like that,
only in my mind, you.
I'm vague in my mind.
 
But you're, you're
you're like snow
when touched it's already melted
and you don't know how it is anymore.
 
Only a flying image
and you're in my mind, yes,
only in my mind, like that,
only in my mind, you.
I'm vague in my mind.
 
Only you, only you...
In my mind
only you, only you...

Crave for rain

Versions: #2
immature, heartless. even so, it's still beautiful
 
No destiny that suits ourselves
this won't be enough
if we talked over it, it will go smoothly
materials, money, love, words...I'm already tired with your show-off
 
Dejavu, what are you unsatisfied about?
saying those terrible and selfish things, what do you want again?
even so, I kinda don't hate it
 
enough, 'I'm already sick hearing that lines'
I don't want to keep things unfinished!
 
it's enough!
even though you said this and that
even though you said that you love me
it's easy if it's only to fool around, but doing this for serious is nonsense!
those thoughtless, insubstantial (serious) words,
how many times do you want to say it?
after all…
even if i was hoping in this fixed game
even those all quoted phrases
words that make people run away, make it a taboo
read the situation, I'm just hoping it won't rain
 
'I hate this boring talk'
'don't talk more than necessary, only within two letters, please'
 
the red butterfly that can't send a message
extending its fragile wing, it's more fascinating by that way right?
 
in confusion
if you can't respond, leave me alone
if you are hesitant, go away from me
the main thing that you ignored, it's like bring you a peace
if the sweet raindrops fall,
it makes you want to hold up your umbrella right?
as it is
i glad i'm still can hope on it, i closed my eyes
i wanted to change, tried to act like an adult
i lost something that irreparable
please don't stop raining, right now
 
copy, paste, delete.
repeat it again, breath in, breath out
so…
that's fine, i want to stay here
 
it's enough!
even though you said this and that
even though you said that you love me
it's easy if it's only to fool around, but doing this for serious is nonsense!
those thoughtless, hard truth (lies),
should we make it a taboo?
surely
even if i was hoping in this fixed game
even those formal phrases
i'll end this habit of running away
read the situation, please don't be sunny right now
 
today is raining too…
close the umbrella, let's go home wet
 

main actor

A manga's protagonist said
'I'll protect you'
They were a really cool protagonist
If it were me, I wonder if I'd just be 'villager B' that runs away
 
Without making one unpleasant face, smiling, crying in the shadows
They fought, they saved people
They were everyone’s favorite person
They were a hero, it’s obvious
 
If it were me I’d cling to and depend on the protagonist
I wonder if I’d just be “villager C”
 
I just waited for the morning without doing anything, alone on my bed
While drinking a cup of soup
While watching the same old news again in front of the television
I waited again for the usual peace
 
Just once, just once, just once, just once
Give me proof that I exist
Only me, only me, only me, only me
Give me proof there’s something only I can do
 
Even you, it’s the same, everybody, is waiting
I’m singing probably because even I don’t know what that is
 
I’ve grown tired of each day I thought of as ordinary things have come
I hated things that were difficult, simplicity was better
But for some reason the guitar in my room
was the only thing I couldn’t throw away
 
Just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit
I wanted even a square meter where I belonged
Only me, only me, only me, only me
I wanted to be someone’s number one
 
It won’t change, it won’t change
It can’t change, it can’t change
 
‘Cause, just as I thought, this is how I am
 
Just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit
I wanted even a square meter where I belonged
 
Just once, just once, just once, just once
Give me proof that I exist
Only me, only me, only me, only me
Give me proof there’s something only I can do
 
Because it's me, because it's me, because it's me, even if I am how I am,
Love me
Forgive me
 
From Cookie with Love!

Salt Water

Simple and so banal
I would say, it's almost predictable and always the same.
They're all made this way:
Love and men.
As you see, they are adjectives. 1
That stick to us
Come on, we're not crazy.
 
Without you it's like not being anything.
You speak very well and you surprise me with your words.
In your mind you know very well where you will arrive
You practice more than I do.
And it could be the reason
I desire to have your love
 
It's me who's always with you.
I'll need you forever
I don't want anything else.
Salt water to drink.
from the punches you (threw) when you don't stop yourself.
that which pulses through my veins
your intoxicating lies, and the other stuff you fill me with.
 
And you fill me
And you throw me
Like a stone that does not feel emotions
From your footprints
I am the sand
And it's me who will suffer, love, all the pains.
 
Look, it's fine to have fun
I feel like I'm laughing at myself, and I just take what's coming
I can't stand a lot of things. I can't tell you which ones.
Your silences, my silence.
Your questions, my listening.
Let's find out what they are.
 
It's me who's always with you.
I'll need you forever
I don't want anything else.
Salt water to drink.
from the punches you (threw) when you don't stop yourself.
that which pulses through my veins
your intoxicating lies, and the other stuff you fill me with.
 
And you fill me
And you throw me
Like a stone that does not feel emotions
From your footprints
I am the sand
And it's me who will suffer, love, all the pains.
 

• 1. 'Amor and Hombres' are actually 'nouns', so I don't know what this is supposed to mean. Perhaps the reference is to 'simple and banal'.

Mr boatman

Hey Mr boatman, Mr boatman
Can you hear me calling from the bank?
Can you see my older sister hair?
Turn charmingly
And lower the spead
Of your boat, of your boat
 
Hey Mr boatman, Mr boatman
Last night when I heard a song
The boats tied to the dry riverbed
Sail charmingly
And after, the white tides
Are cold, are cold
 
Hey Mr boatman, Mr boatman
Without forgetting the moonrise tides
Without waking up the plovers who sleep early
Flow charmingly
Hidden from the public gaze
Come, come

Chanchiki Okesa

The moon is the sake's bittersweetness
Of a miserable stand on the other side of an alley
An unknown fellow hits a small dish
Chanchiki Okesa
Okesa, pain is helpless
 
That girl left me alone
My mom says 'Are you well?'
Tonight I beg your pardon
Chanchiki Okesa
With the Okesa I torment myself
 
When I left my hometown
The big dreams thet came
Sigh floating in a sake cup
Chanchiki Okesa
The moon gets cloudy of tears

Snow migratory bird

Putting on the raincoat, a migratory bird
Makes a nest somewhere in my hat
Though I don't complain, there are no returning shoals
I miss the lights of Izu and Shimoda
 
'I'm a man who lives proudly'
I say to my chest that I live traveling
Three months, three years, I still can't give up
The lingering affections I leave behind cry
 
Though I leave my bills aside, they happen
What regrets have the rain and the snow?
I'm also a silver and thin koi
If I draw my long sword, there will be a blood blizzard

A Home on Top of the World

My love, do not cry for me.
If this world does not smile on me,
I thank God for having already given me you, given me you.
 
You will see that one day all will change.
The morning will come when I wake you up,
and we will go to my home--you and me, you and me.
 
Our home on top of the world--
and when you come along, light will follow,
and the sky will follow along with us.
 
Our home on top of the world--
the earth will turn, far more than ever before,
and you will leave it behind with me.
 
My love, do not cry anymore,
lovers can never be poor.
My love, trust in me, trust in me.
 
Our home on top of the world--
and when you come along, light will follow,
and the sky will follow along with us.
 
With us, with us, with us.
 

Yoko from the docks, Yokohama, Yokosuka

If it happened a moment ago, I'd remember
If it happened a year ago, I don't know
You say it's a long haired woman. There are a lot here.
Sorry. Ask somebody else
Hey, you got something with that girl!
Yoko from the docks, Yokohama, Yokosuka
 
She quitter half year ago. She didn't even saluted us
She took a Mary client, she made an uproar
You can't have such lack of manners
Hey, you got something with that girl!
Yoko from the docks, Yokohama, Yokosuka
 
It's a girl who came from Yokohama
She was good for jitterbugging
She was there until three months ago. One night she picked a kitten
She scaped with the kitten
I don't know to where
Hey, you got something with that girl!
Yoko from the docks, Yokohama, Yokosuka
 
Though she said she liked Yokosuka
She looked pitiable with foreigners
Though she was a girl who didn't speak much
She talked with the kitten
She paid me in advance a month ago and she left
Hey, you got something with that girl!
Yoko from the docks, Yokohama, Yokosuka
 
A while ago she was sitting on a box of that corner
A client touched her somewhere and she ran from the store
Somehow that girls doesn't want to be an innocent baby
Hey, you're in love with that girl, aren't you?
Yoko from the docks, Yokohama, Yokosuka

A rúzs illata

A rúzsod illata
Lövell a vénámban
Rab vagyok most
Kiöntöm a bort
 
S mindenkivel háborúban állok
Hogy ma éjjel rádtaláljak
fel fogom forgatni a várost
Átkozottam
 
Ma éjjel valahol rád fogok találni
Megyek, hogy romba döntsem magam
Hozzád fogok indulni
S holnap vezekelni fogok
 
Ismerlek...
Tudom, hogy a nyomomban jársz
Gyűlölsz, mert mégis kedves vagyok hozzád
Mert te s én, olyanok vagyunk egymásnak,
Mint a drog, s éreznem kell
 
Ref.

Women port town

Women port town
Why the sunrise comes too early?
'Then, goodbye'
Murmured a man like a black gull
Farewell words are very fleeting
Though I want it, I can't forget
A painful love
Women port town, my farewell tears
Nobody will understand them
 
Women port town
Crying, you raise the anchors
'You shouldn't cry' says a man
Who in a hurry he waves his hand on the deck
Though I understand it's a temporary consolation
Though I want it, I can't forget
A painful love
Women port town, in my lonely smile
A rain of sorrows fall
 
Though I hate such man from the heart
Though I want it, I can't forget
A painful love
Women port town, my farewell tears
Nobody will understand them

Stolen my dreams

Hey you, I saw you in the pa... Huh?
 
Hey you, I saw you in the papers
You were speaking at some film expert fair
If they so gave me a hundred grand
I would never go and listen to you
 
I see you smile on all pictures
On the radio you speak of the artist's calling
I have my puny film with cones
That I did five years ago - that is all
 
I also wanted a house when I was little
Wanted to make my own mark
And fly around the entire globe
And write autographs in Cannes
But almost nobody knows who I am
 
Hey you, what do you make a week?
It's probably more than I do in a year
And every day I ride the bus
You brag about biking beside the pier
 
And I never have anything to say
But fuck me, neither do you
A harangue of empty phrases
To impress all the journalists and models
 
I also wanted my own island when I was little
And for everyone to love me
But you have stolen my dreams
And everyone thinks they were made for you
And almost nobody knows who I am
 
And space is scarce on the top
Far up there where the air is clear
Where you sit and piss down on
Us poor bastards who were left behind
 
My best friend is sick with cancer
At least none of us can evade that
And when I see how you get older
It sometimes soothes my roaring mind
 
I also wanted a life when I was little
And to accomplish something vast
But you have stolen my dreams
And now time goes by so fast
 

The Sampa Girls

The Sampa girls are as white as could be
No wonder!
Their beach is the Ibirapuera1
 
The Sampa girls want money and a nice guy
A powerful one!
An American way of live
 
The Sampa girls are so modern, eternal effettes!
But to have some samba, they must be born in Rio
 
Some Sampa girls are discreet, positive
Ladies!
In the raves she is very very crazy
 
I really like the Sampa girls!
I really like the Sampa girls!
I really like the Sampa girls!
I really like the Sampa girls!
 
The Sampa girls are in style, we talk about them, they all rock
They're under the spotlight
The 'Made in New York' actually comes from Paraguay
 
The Sampa girls say 'baloney'2, 'eggplant'
'Apartment' 3
Their Bixiga4 accent, like dolls, a hundred percent
 
The Sampa girls only know Bahia5 on pictures
Such nature!
Every girl from Bahia has an easy, tranquil life
 
The Sampa girls work hard at the bank
(Hold you hands up high!)
Give or leave or get off the asphault!
 
I really like the Sampa girls!
I really like the Sampa girls!
I really like the Sampa girls!
I really like the Sampa girls!
 
The Sampa girls
The Sampa girls
The Sampa girls
The Sampa girls
 
I really like the Sampa girls!
 
The Sampa girls
The Sampa girls
The Sampa girls
The Sampa girls
 
I really like the Sampa girls!
