I've wanted you

I've wanted you and your hoarse scream in the middle of the night when you wake up
I've wanted that mountain-breaking courage of yours
I've wanted your whole history, the pieces that you collect
To be the rock on the shore against your waves
 
I've wanted to examine the riverbeds and valleys of your curves carefully
I've wanted your books on the bedside table
I've wanted to learn your treasures so I'd have a job as your man
I've wanted the slowly waning youth of yours
 
Because I, I have wanted you
I've wanted to turn Monday morning to the promised land
I, I have wanted you
and whatever happens, I will not regret that
 
I've wanted all your roles, wanted to nurse your bruises
and that lovely sneaking longing of yours on a summer night
I've wanted you when you get tired and wanted you when you're at your best
To always be the seal against your heart
 
Because I, I have wanted you
I've wanted to turn Monday morning to the promised land
I, I have wanted you
and whatever happens, I will not regret that
 
Because I, I have wanted you
I've wanted to turn Monday morning to the promised land
I, I have wanted you
and whatever happens, I will not regret that
 
Because I, I have wanted you
I've wanted to turn Monday morning to the promised land
I, I have wanted you
and whatever happens, I will not regret that

Inside of Giresun

Versions: #2
Inside of Giresun, between two streets
They shot six bullets, and three wounds of knife, and three wounds of knife,
I've been hit, i fell down, i couldn't go far away
What should we do, my Feride, they trapped me, they trapped me
 
Inside of Giresun, let's wander mansion after mansion,
Would (we) take the blame of the one who hit my Feride, would (we) take the blame?
 
I've been hit, i fell down, i couldn't go far away
What should we do, my love, they trapped me, they trapped me
What should we do, my Feride, they trapped me, they trapped me

Today Drunk, Tommorow Drunk


Gramatically incorrect, translation partially word by word, to keep the Romanian musicality of this song
 
Drunk today, drunk tommorow
My house isn't swept
(x2)
And I will sweep it (on) Friday evening,
To be (like this) for the whole summer
(x2)
 
The day after tommorow I'm gonna be sober
And my house I'm gonna sweep it
(x2)
Anything to do has no one
No one with my house. (*)
(x2)
 
To stike him God to strike him
that one with the wide belt
(x2)
'Cause he (had) put the little pub at my gate,
I found my woman drunk
 
And the hoese unswept,
And the house unswept!
 
Hai, la-la-la-la....(Hai = short form for come on/ let's go)
 
And I'm gonna swipe it on Friday evening,
To be (like this) for the whole summer
(x2)
The day after tommorow I'm gonna be sober
And my house I'm gonna sweep it
(x2)
 
(**)
And my neighbours(women) are laughing at me
'Cause I drank the chickens
(x2)
And I'll drink the rooster too
(***)
Only if my oldman lives
(x2)
 
Anything to do has no one,
No one with my house!
 
Hai, la-la-la-la...
 
ENGLISH MEANING FOR (*), changed the repetition word:
No one has anything to do, anything to do with my house
 
ALTERNATIVE FORM FOR (**) - it is interpretable
And my neighbours(women) are laughing at me
'Cause (we) the chickens we drank
And I will drink (I) and the rooster (together)
(***)
Only that my oldman would live!

I never leave entirely

I never leave entirely
I don't like goodbyes
Water simply goes
Stuck in its headspring
That's its way of life
 
Something always remains
Something to be done
Sometimes I almost regret
But they're things I invent
Afraid of losing you
 
I left a marked book
And a rosemary vase
I opened my curtains
And made my bed
So you will remember me
 
I never leave entirely
I live on two desires:
One that goes on the stream
The other stuck in the headspring
Stays for the longing

Why don't you come?

Today I come back to our house
Nothing is the same as before,
Not even a sign remained,
Not even a rebellious scent,
I don't see any book, any picture
Everything is deserted and empty . . .
 
And I feel like I've really lost much, much more
Than I thought that I'd ever lose
 
Why don't you come? (Why don't you come?)
Why don't you hear my voice? (Why don't you come?)
Why does the night have your flavor
It's hard for me without you . . . (Why don't you come?)
Why don't you come, just another day
Why?
Why, why, why don't you come?
 
And I feel like I've really lost much, much more
Than I thought that I'd ever lose
I want to turn back time
I want to call love again in two,
I don't know where I'll find
Your former love again?
 
Why don't you come? (Why don't you come?)
Why don't you hear my voice? (Why don't you come?)
Why does the night have your flavor
It's hard for me without you . . . (Why don't you come?)
Why don't you come, just another day
Why?
Why, why, why don't you come?
 
Why, why?
Why, why?
Why don't you come?
 
If I have made a mistake, please, tell me! Thank you!
Dacă am făcut o greșeală, te rog, spune-mi! Mulțumesc!

Once Above The Village Barn

Once above the village barn
Lightning struck with loud clap.
Maidens had their hymens torn,
But women only gasped: Oh, crap!

The Song of the Ainur

Versions: #2
Listen, listen, listen,
Voices ring out from the void,
filling it with new sound.
A world comes into being from sounds, from song.
Slowly breaks the first day,
Everything shines in harmony,
Father of the gods, teach us the melody!
 
From heaven
Comes the song of the Ainur1
Comes the song of the Ainur
Ah, on this day, begin all things.
From heaven
 
Comes the song of the Ainur
Comes the song of the Ainur
Ah, on this day, begin all things.
 
Time and Space filled with colors
Words breathe life in
Hear, ye peoples, here shall you be at home,
Everything shall be real
how the music imagined it.
Father of the gods, start the progress of the worlds
 
From heaven
Comes the song of the Ainur
Comes the song of the Ainur
Ah, on this day, begin all things.
From heaven
Once upon a time, that time
Comes the song of the Ainur
Comes the song of the Ainur
Ah, on this day, begin all things,

once upon a time, that time.
 
Voices ring out from the void.
That begins the course of the world.
With the first morning wakes up Creation.

Tell Me Now

[Verse 1]
I was going to a party at a girls place
All my classmates were there
There was drinks and fun, love
There was singing and dancing, oh yeah
I arrived, the party had started
The girl she stood right there
She was wearing a pink dress
And a skirt that was superb
 
[Build]
Wonder if you like me
Cause I certainly like you
What is your answer?
Yes or no
 
[Chorus]
Come on baby, tell me now, tell me now, yeah
Come on baby, I'm right in front of you
Baby, baby, tell me, tell me
Come on, do you like me?
Yes or no
 
[Verse 2]
All of my classmates were dancing fiercely
Everyone but me
The girl was dancing with another guy
But I'll get you anyway
I went there and asked, do you wanna dance?
She said yes, and I was on fire
Now let's dance the whole night through
Cause baby, I love you
 
[Build]
Dance all night
Dance just the two of us
I am crazy about you
But do you like me?
 
[Chorus]
Come on baby, tell me now, tell me now
Come on baby, I'm right in front of you
Baby, baby, tell me, tell me
Come on, do you like me?
Yes or no
Come on, do you like me?
Yes or no
Come on, do you like me?
Yes or no
 
[Bridge]
I love it when I feel your hand in mine
I blush when you say that I am yours
 
[Chorus]
Come on baby, tell me now, tell me now
Come on baby, I'm right in front of you
Baby, baby, tell me, tell me
Come on, do you like me?
Yes or no
Come on, do you like me?
Yes or no
Come on, do you like me?
Yes or no

Just One Dance

Hey, I wanted to asked you something
It takes my breath away
Tell me, will you gift me
Just this one dance with you?
Come on, let's risk it
What do you have to lose?
Come on, gift me this one
This one dance with you
 
Babe, don't ask why, come on
Come on, gift me this one dance with you
Babe, don't ask why, come on
Come on, gift me this one dance with you
 
Hey, I can understand you
We've never seen each other
You've turned my head
How can somebody look that good?
All eyes on you
'Cause you're the prettiest here
Your looks confuse me, baby
 
I don't want to palaver you like the failures
Who were here once, who couldn't handle it
'Cause you're high class, 'cause you've got style, baby
 
Hey, I wanted to asked you something
It takes my breath away
Tell me, will you gift me
Just this one dance with you?

This one dance with you
 
Babe, don't ask why, come on
Come on, gift me this one dance with you
Babe, don't ask why, come on
Come on, gift me this one dance with you
 
Hey, I like the way you laugh
And I love the scent you have
Girl, what you do with your booty is nice, so nice
Tell me, do you want a gentleman like me
Who plays willingly, but who's always honest?
Come, I put the cards on the table
 
I don't want to palaver you like the failures
Who were here once, who couldn't handle it
'Cause you're high class, 'cause you've got style, baby
 
Hey, I wanted to asked you something
It takes my breath away
Tell me, will you gift me
Just this one dance with you?
Come on, let's risk it
What do you have to lose?
Come on, gift me this one (come on)
This one dance with you
 
Babe, don't ask why, come on
Come on, gift me this one dance with you
Babe, don't ask why, come on
Come on, gift me this one dance with you
Babe, don't ask why (Baby, don't ask me why)
Come on (Baby, come, let go!)
Come on, gift me this one dance with you (this one dance with you)
Babe, don't ask why (baby, don't ask me why)
Come on (Baby, come on, let go!)
Come on, gift me this one dance with you (this one dance with you)

Island

You're an island
You're an island
A deserted island
In your heart
In your heart
What it's like, nobody knows
 
You're a passion
You're a passion
A spot on my skin
You're like my name
You're like my name
Something which I can't forget
I dream of biting into an adventure
And you are, you are, you are
 
Out of breath, I feel it from the taste when I kiss you beyond measure
Out of breath, I hear it when you whisper to me
Out of breath, I feel it from the taste when I kiss you beyond measure
You're out of breath, you're afraid again of wanting me
 
NOSFE:
You looked for me all over with the waves
And I messed up all your plans
Your cold soul rested
On my sand of whitened sun
I'm not your big island anymore
I've hidden under the water of sun
It burned me too much
I want to kiss you, out of breath
I want to sink
Call me to you to make love
The moon and stars are ours
I love you so much
Even if this is our last kiss
You drown me in cold waters like in the Titanic
Holding me by the hand is really tragic
My soul is you and this is great
I'd be reincarnated as the water, so that I could be your wave
I'm still your island, and when you kiss me like this, the whole time, I'm
 
Out of breath, I feel it from the taste when I kiss you beyond measure
Out of breath, I hear it when you whisper to me
Out of breath, I feel it from the taste when I kiss you beyond measure
You're out of breath, you're afraid again of wanting me
 
If I have made a mistake, please, tell me! Thank you!
Dacă am făcut o greșeală, te rog, spune-mi! Mulțumesc!

It's Not Unusual

It's not unusual to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual to have fun with anyone
But when I see you hanging about with anyone
It's not unusual to see me cry
I wanna die
 
It's not unusual to go out at any time
But when I see you out and about it's such a crime
If you should ever want to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual, it happens every day
No matter what you say
You'll find it happens all the time
 
Love will never do what you want it to
Why can't this crazy love be mine?
 
It's not unusual to feel angry
It's not unusual to feel so sad
If I ever find that you changed
It's not unusual to keep in love with you
 
Days pass, no matter what you say
You'll find that it happens all the time
Love never does what you want it to do
All this crazy love is mine
 
It's not unusual to be mad with anyone
It's not unusual to be sad with anyone
But if I ever find that you've changed at anytime
It's not unusual to find that I'm in love with you
 
It's not unusual
It's not unusual

Vegetables

[1st verse]
Who'd have thought
I'd end up here
Before going to bed
In this stupid huge city
Thinking that maybe
Your absence comforts me
More than the presence of the rest of the world
And I searched for sleep
On the bottom of a mocha cup
We're penguins that can't escape the seal
I want to swim, but you dried out the seas
I want to fly, but you cut my wings
You gave your best smiles to assholes
You had Richie Cunningham
You preferred Fronzie
But after all it's alright
After all don't worry
Everything can be survived
By listening to Lucio Dalla
 
[Chorus]
We're the end of the world
On a Sunday morning
We're a candlelit dinner
Between two fuel cans
Since you departed
I haven't been afraid anymore
And I even manage to laugh when eating vegetables
 
[2nd verse]
But who'd have thought
It would end like this
Eh eh eh
I'm on my bed
With your bones you forgot here
I'm making some wind chimes
And I'll hang them on the door
They'll warn me when my memory of you tries to enter
And I won't open
And my eyes are tired
I'm not going to renew Netflix
I search for you in Google Maps
And see if I can find you
A word is too much
While two are too few
So break a leg, Princess Mononoke
Because I'm done with sad songs
They're like candies given by dentists
We were fuel, a calm life
And then I met you and we got hooked
 
[Chorus]
We're the end of the world
On a Sunday morning
We're a candlelit dinner
Between two fuel cans
Since you departed
I haven't been afraid anymore
And I even manage to laugh when eating vegetables
 
[Bridge]
We're the end of the world
We're the end of the world
We're the end of the world
We're the end of the world
What are we?
(We're the end of the world)
What are we?
(We're the end of the world)
What are we?
(We're the end of the world)
What are we?
 
[Chorus]
We're the end of the world
On a Sunday morning
We're a candlelit dinner
Between two fuel cans
Since you departed
I haven't been afraid anymore
And I even manage to laugh when eating vegetables

Salty water

No one is inside
solace is no-longer enough
sloping red wall painting
my heart is pumping
flowing blood in my veins
is cool deserted senseless
and resembles to boundless rivers
 
Salty water
sharp twist
ways that we take like greased lightning
it can not be very close
too far
too near
smithereens of those cloths
too near yet too far
not a single thing can possible without you
 
dissuade me, come enamor me
passion has unwrapped my pieces come...

The other side of the maddalion

The lovers, the beloveds laugh everyday
The smilers, smilers become happy
 
Sometimes the smiler cries
Suddenly his happines passes away
This is the other side of the maddalion
 
Trees, trees scatter life
Flowers, flowers become beautiful
 
Sometimes the flower wither
Suddenly its beauty passes away
This is the other side of the maddalion
Every beauty passes away one day
 
Before you know it, the life ends
Every beauty passes away one day
This is the other side of the maddalion
Every beauty passes away one day

Write It Aside

I looked at the road that my love traveled
For a long time my eyes were filled again
Your face came to my mind
 
Take the tears from my eyes, the day will come when you will dry them
Write this down so you remember, if you go you forget
 
The harbor’s ships pulled up their anchors and will go
Who saw my tears, who will know
 
Take the tears from my eyes, the day will come when you will dry them
Write this down so you remember, if you go you forget

The woman on the picture

White streaks in her hair,
years showing on her skin,
all this fickle time
she bears on her back.
She's the woman you can see
in the middle of the picture.
 
In her generous heart
hidden under her knitted jumper
one can make out her sweetheart,
this man gone too soon.
She's the woman you can see
in the middle of the picture.
 
Everything in her home is welcoming,
from the table to the trinkets.
Though there's not much talking going on
the words are quite meaningful1
Among the living and those,
those that she misses.2
She shares her meals
and her rest with them.
She sits in the centre,
in the middle of the picture.
 
She used to do her best,
the right gesture, the right word.
So much love in her eyes
covered us with a coat.
She's the woman you can see
in the middle of the picture.
 
In her joyful garden
I built castles
and wonderful worlds
where I was a hero.
Everything was delicious,
her hugs, her cakes.
It made everything smoother,
the cocoa of
the woman you can see
in the middle of the picture.
 
And then, on a rainy morning,
in her bed, in her grave,
a last breath, a farewell,
and this bloody weather.
Everything is so silent
without these little phone calls.
Everything is heavy, painful,
everything is empty, much too empty without
the woman you can see
in the middle of the picture.
 
As rain is falling on the ground
Earth is your new home3
Pieces of a nice noble wood
are keeping her warm now,
the woman you can see
in the middle of the picture.
 
Sometimes I envy the sky,
sometimes my heart gets heavy.
How very lucky they are
to have you up above!
I feel sad yet happy
to have been granted this gift,
to have known your eyes,
your love and your words.
I still keep you with me a little,
you the woman standing
in the middle of the picture.
 
  • 1. I don't really know this 'fort en propos' expression. 'fort en qq ch' usually means 'with a high sth. contents', like 'fort en alcool' for 'with a high alcohol contents', so this is like 'with a high talk/saying contents'. 'fort en gueule' can also mean 'a loudmouth'. Oh well...
  • 2. This is a very unusual way of saying, I'm not quite sure that's what he actually means, but that's my best guess
  • 3. frankly I'm not sure what he means. 'reprendre le flambeau' ('take back the torch') is a fixed expression meaning 'take the succession' or 'continue the work of someone else'. I just guessed the meaning from the context.

Nuclear

I wasn't exactly bad
When you pressed the nuclear button
It was getting too deranged
Nothing was like normal
 
If suddenly when you explode
You saw beyond
There would be nothing
that could stop us
 
You were looking for spiritual guidanc
And some stupid reason to jump
You had sides so thin
Like you just couldn't anymore
 
If half of our dramas
Were even real
There would be nothing
that could save us
 
You can talk to me more and more clearly
You can tell me that it's weird to you
You can stop shooting
to dance
 
You can feel a strange knot inside
I can swear to you that I won't stop screaming
 
You gave a little summersault*
Defying gravity
Flying over
The nuclear zone
 
Give me an instant to think
What we dream doesn't matter now
You, like the eagles, abandoned
The nuclear zone
 
Today you floated over the city
Like a handkerchief in a hurricane
You wore shoes on your hands
And a world-drunkness**
 
If every time you return broken
You saw beyond
There would be nothing
That could stop us
 
You can talk to me more and more clearly
You can tell me that it's weird to you
You can stop shooting
to dance
 
You can feel a strange knot inside
I can swear to you that I won't stop screaming
 
You gave a little summersault*
Defying gravity
Flying over
The nuclear zone
 
Give me an instant to think
What we dream doesn't matter now
You, like the eagles, abandoned
The nuclear zone
 
You gave a little summersault
Defying gravity
Flying over
The nuclear zone
 
Give me an instant to think
What we dream doesn't matter now
You, like the eagles, abandoned
The nuclear zone

The Boats Are On Their Way

The boats are already on their way
To some new world
Bells are ringing in the harbor
Summer is sinking like a boat
 
The sky is lonely and city is rainy
And sea is empty before us
 
The boats are already on their way
And we wanted that too
And the last boat is getting ready
But there's no room on it
 
Our dreams will catch it
But we will always stay here
 
This city is all you have
This harbor, my life
Now all you are looking for
You must find in her
 
And you will not know another love
But the one I give to you
But like myself one day,
You will be happy, I know that
 
Boats are sailing for a long time
Because they have to go a long way
And all that can be heard are
The storms following them
 
Strange seas and a rainy night
But they will surely come

Only Those Who Know Wistful Longing

Only those who know wistful longing1
know from what I suffer!
Alone and detached
of all joy,
I look to the heavens,
towards that direction.
 
Oh! Whoever loves and knows me
is in the vastness.
It deceives me, it burns
my intestines.
Only those who know wistful longing
know from what I suffer!
 
  • 1. The word 'Sehnsucht' has no direct translation in English. It is often translated as longing, yearning, hunger, desire, etc., but it is far more nuanced and beautiful than what any of those words can capture.The British author C.S. Lewis described it as 'the inconsolable longing in the heart for we know not what.”

5 Minutes

I think I stopped loving you
5 minutes ago
Then I wrote it down
And in the meantime it's 7 (minutes)
I think I stopped loving you
5 minutes ago
Then I wrote it down
And in the meantime it's 7 (minutes)
I wake up in the morning light
And my eyes hurt
How late is it? I don't know
That is okay
I need to eat something
And look back at what's still there
Striked my mind
That it's warm outside
Standing around at Winer Platz (1)
Waiting on the 13 (2)
One can see so far from here
Unlike anywhere else in this area (3)
Watch what happens when I
Simply continue like earlier
I think I stopped loving you
5 minutes ago
Then I wrote it down
And in the meantime it's 7 (minutes)
I think I stopped loving you
5 minutes ago
Then I wrote it down
And in the meantime it's 7 (minutes)
Emojis that you
Also the nudes, sorry, they don't turn me on anymore
I also don't know what it is
You leave me cold, better not call me anymore and yah
And since last week we texted everything, we went through that
Now you type 'I love you!' and 'I miss you' in your phone
And I simply fall asleep while that happens
Facetime with you
I saw, that you don't need me anymore
Without me, you roll a joint, smokes
Believe me, you looked so happy, and I
Dial you number
And I hang up again
From this number
We don't get out like this anymore (K-K-K-K)
I think I stopped loving you
5 minutes ago
Then I wrote it down
And in the meantime it's 7 (minutes)
I think I stopped loving you
5 minutes ago
Then I wrote it down
And In the meantime it's 7 (minutes

Csak a nyár

A Nap beragyog az ablakon
Hogy miért mosolygok, nincs ötletem
Azt hiszem, szerelembe estem
Vagy talán csak a nyár érkezett meg
 
Minden nyár a klubokban
Minden átmulatott nyár
És hangosan sikoltasz
Hé! Semmi sem bánt
 
Refrén.
Csak, csakis a nyár kelt fel
Csak a nyarat akarom
Csak a nyár, az egész életem
Reggelig táncolnék
 
Csak nyáron őrülök meg
Csak nyáron talállak meg
Csak nyáron szeretlek
Csak, csak, csak, csak nyáron!
 
Múlt éjszaka egy bulin voltam
Hogy kivel voltam, nincs ötletem
Azt hiszem, megint szerelembe estem
Kivel ébredtem?

We have a chance

Come and we'll fly
We'll stop counting the years
Peel from the body
Everything that stuck and left marks
 
Come and we'll move
It's good for us to be someone else for a bit
To go and to sit
To return to touch as if we were strangers
 
There's a sense now
A weakness of sorts
Look how my hand shakes
Mouth pressed to mouth
Everything relaxes
We have a chance so come, let's fly
 
All night
Come come
We have a chance so come, let's fly all night
 
Come and we'll dare
To put the truth on the table
It'll be a shame to waste
An hour that won't return on another small lie
 
There's a sense now
A weakness of sorts
Look how my hand shakes
Mouth pressed to mouth
Everything relaxes
We have a chance so come, let's fly
 
All night
Come come
We have a chance so come, let's fly all night

Venus

Tune me in give me a sip of your soul
From your softness that vertigo in your calm
Before it's too late
Love me with kisses
 
Intoxicate me
With your wet caresses
Before it's too late
Smear me with foam
Oh no, oh no
 
You come like the sea, back in a cycle
You come and go, like a Venus you appear
I will sink in your waves
And let the current carry us
 
Intoxicate me
With your wet caresses
Before it's too late
Smear me with foam
Oh no, oh no
 
You come like the sea, back in a cycle
You come and go, like a Venus you appear
I will sink in your waves
And let the current carry us
 
It will be because I love you, it will be because it is so
I know it's not real and you're not my property
But I feel you mine
 
Just because I love you, just because it's like that
I know it's not real, that you do not belong to me
But I feel you mine
 
Thanks for being, thanks for putting up
I promise to be by your side until the end
I'll hide you as you do for me
 
How do you do it for me

Unless the Lord

Unless the Lord build the house,
they have laboured in vain who build it.
Unless the Lord keep the city,
The watchmen waketh but in vain.

Jumynüdyr

Versions: #2
1.
I don't know what I am going to do.
The flow of water can't be reversed.
Under your white wedding scarf1
you seem like a white swan.
Holding your ringed hand,
the groom leads you into a waltz.
As I wish happiness to your soul
and your family, my heart cries.
 
(chorus)
Jumynüdyr2, daughter of God,
you descended from the skies,
a vision appeared before me
for my bliss and for my sorrow.
Jumynüdyr, daughter of God,
oh, the way you smile!
But why, oh why
where you born for another?
 
2.
Oh, how you dance and sway to the tune
of wedding pipes and drums3
You're not mine, not mine!
I drink but tears for beer4,
a much too bitter treat,
for the bride is but the grief of my soul.
'bitter, bitter!'5 - so bitter indeed
is the shout I utter through my tears.
 
(chorus)
 
3.
I don't know what I am going to do.
A thought crossed my mind:
grabbing hold of you
and taking you far away.
You cast a glance over your shoulder,
as if you had felt my thought.
But you were not meant to, no,
you were not meant to be mine.

A New Feeling

I was like that - nostalgic and disconnected
It was already said: 'You know you're no longer the same'
I was like that - a hurt eagle
Afraid of starting a new life
 
When you lose love, you stop believing
That it can heal, that your heart can start singing again
 
I already thought of running away
So far that I could at least not think
But I was here - looking up to the ceiling
Not wanting to get up and redo my bed
 
When I had already turned off the lights
Of this already peaceless soul
Your ray of sun woke me up
 
A new feeling
Erases every regret
Only you are my world - now you are everything
Love, love again
I taste you again
A sweet elixir, magic that makes us forget
All the pain within the soul
It turns that farewell that spat the bitterest poison
Into a black and white movie
 
A new feeling
Is as strong as the winds
Of a hurricane
 
I was like that - dramatic and absent
A desperate actress in an empty theater
I'd chain myself to the boredom of the memory
Without gracing the word with nothing more than a glance
 
When I had already turned off the lights
Of this already peaceless soul
Your ray of sun woke me up
 
A new feeling
Erases every regret
Only you are my world - now you are everything
Love, love again
I taste you again
A sweet elixir, magic that makes us forget
All the pain within the soul
It turns that farewell that spat the bitterest poison
Into a black and white movie
 
We know that time mends everything
But thanks to you it was fast
There's an unlimited horizon for us
And a calm sea, bluer than the sky
 
A new feeling
Erases every regret
Only you are my world - now you are everything
A new feeling
Erases every regret
Only you are my world - now you are everything
 
(A new feeling
Erases every regret
Only you are my world - now you are everything
A new feeling
Erases every regret
Only you are my world - now you are everything
A new feeling
Erases every regret
Only you are my world - now you are everything)

Hey love, love

My love, my love, you see me
Where are mistakes in your love?
Only for others, there is separation
I survive when you are near me
 
Don't leave me after showing a random way
I always want you as my partner in my way
You talk something, let the shyness go
 
You call me with my name
I want to get closer to you
 
My love, my love, you see me
Where are mistakes in your love?
Only for others, there is separation
I survive when you are near me
 
I feel a heaviness in my lower heart
If you ask the question 'By whom', it's a sin
 
Each time, a type of dizziness
will come to us both and leave
 
You talk something, let the shyness go
You call me with my name
I want to get closer to you
 
My love, my love, you see me
Where are mistakes in your love?
The one that gets reduced is the gap
I survive when you are near me
 
Don't leave me after showing a random way
I always want you as my partner in my way
 
You talk something, let the shyness go
You call me with my name
I want to get closer to you

In a one feet road

I jump and run in a small one feet road
I long and search for my cuckoo bird niece
 
The sandalwood garland is adding more attraction,
the intensity of smell increases
I feel like to merge with my parrot
like a chain
 
The sugar gives a mesmerizing effect on me,
can this bro-in-law come to exchange garland?
 
My eye balls
Sa Ga Ni Sa
Ga Ni Sa Ma Ga Ma Ga Sa
Ga Ni Sa Ga Ga Sa
Ga Pa Ga Sa Ga Ga Sa Ni Sa
 
You are the chrysanthemum flower bloomed in streets
You are the flower bouquet which I saved in my eyes
 
Hey, hey, the flower vine
O the mother's lap place where one forgets worries
O beauty, o beauty, the girl beauty
O the chariot beauty who walks in road
 
Like a shadow, I came running after you
Once you look at me
 
I jump and run in a small one feet road
I long and search for my cuckoo bird niece
 
Many times you went without seeing me
I became like a rust in the iron
 
I gave my life to you
Still I was afraid to come closer to you
O life, o life, my life
You are my world, O life
 
I have mirror all over my heart,
don't break it by playing ball game on it
Don't kill me, O eyes, O eye balls
 
I jump and run in a small one feet road
I long and search for my cuckoo bird niece
 
The smell that I feel inside my heart is forest golden champak flower
The love sandalwood will speak of news and glare the eyes
 
To fly like a bird, will you come along with me?
 
O eye balls, come
to pamper me, come

Invent

And then again, who hasn't ever dreamt of changing the world?
 
We're tired of becoming the serious-minded youth
either necessarily satisfied, or criminals, or neurotics:
we want to laugh, to stay innocent, to expect something from life, to ask, to ignore.
We don't want to be this dreamless already. [- Pier Paolo Pasolini]
 
Somebody should really invent a two-ended toothpaste tube
so no wife would be mad at her husband for pressing the tube from the wrong side
Somebody should really invent an alternative role
for the children who play the trees in school plays
Somebody should really invent a way to tell her 'don't leave me!'
without then dying from guilt if, in the end, she actually stays
Somebody should really invent a new philosophy
or a new zeitgeist according to which the soul is the body's parole.
 
Somebody should really invent a follow-up to this song
cause I'm fucking tired of this 'Somebody should really invent' anaphora
It'd be great if pop understood that there exist four chords other than these
 
I want to see Pasolini in prime time on Italia Uno
insulting capitalism and the consumistic logic
I want to see more people at a Vasco Brondi gig
and possibly some less at a Vasco Rossi's (*)
 
You understand a lot of those who tell you their most intimate truths
You understand everything about those who tell you only superficial lies
People never change, those who are against homosexuality today,
in the 17th century defined telescopes as the devil's work
And everyone loves Coldplay who always play the same four chords
because you can't really love music unless you're also a little deaf
And in spite of all the new experiences we're all slaves to our dreams
because it's impossible to be happy unless you're also a little foolish
 
Keep in mind that you'll be judged based on how many likes your status will get
and if you don't get at least 20 likes you'll be considered a bit lame
I stopped tripping in my head cause I can't afford the tickets anymore
and I think love is like the tangent of a right angle

If I never would have met you I'd been happy now.

It's something in your glance
I don't know what I have yet
If you gave me a chance a last time, I wouldn't take it
It's something in your way, ah I think it drags me down
First when I've gotten under you, you want to see me.
 
If I never would have met you, would I've been happy now?
I woke by a dream, one morning it laid here on the table
Like a rain of sun* I laid, he who had a hard time with the words
He wrote that it was over now, that I could breathe now.
 
That I probably shouldn't be here, that we should meet others.
 
If I never would have met you, would he have been happy now?
The one who got burnt by the fire, blows even though it's cold
The one who got scared once, and feels worry for everything
 
If I never would have met you, would I've been happy now?
He was like a room, one with white cracked edges
She wanted to give you all from what I understand.
 
But that which is easy in the beginning
often becomes harder with time
And she became like an ocean that runs along the cheek
 
If I never would have met you, would she'd been happy now?
The one who got burnt by the fire, blows even though it's cold
The one who got scared once, and feels worry for everything
 
If I never would have met you, would I've been happy now?

Now is the salvation and the strength

Now is the salvation and the strength and the kingdom and the might of our God
become [those] of his Christ,
since he has been cast out
who complained about them day and night before God.

So What


This unfamiliar feeling...
I am chained to you, but only from afar
I was hurt and unintentionally left you
But now I found the sense to tell you
 
I'll find a few words and a dry 'Hi, how's it going?'
And I heard again that there's no love between us anymore
But listen to me:
 
So what?
It's never too late to start everything from scratch, to make amends
So what?
I have nothing to lose, standing here in front of you
So what?
I'm a bit late, falling in love with you yet again
So what?
It doesn't matter who you're with - tonight, you're coming home with me
 
Nothing personal in those indifferent notes I see in your eyes
Did we stay the same, or not?
After all, you still love me
 
I'll find a few words and a dry 'Hi, how's it going?'
And I heard again that there's no love between us anymore
But listen to me:
 
So what?
It's never too late to start everything from scratch, to make amends
So what?
I have nothing to lose, standing here in front of you
So what?
I'm a bit late, falling in love with you yet again
So what?
It doesn't matter who you're with - tonight, you're coming home with me
 
So what?
It's never too late to start everything from scratch, to make amends
So what?
I have nothing to lose, standing here in front of you
So what?
I'm a bit late, falling in love with you yet again
So what?
It doesn't matter who you're with - tonight, you're coming home with me
