The homeland comrade

You look at a child and another
and then many more
Their eyes don't say a thing
their mouths ask for bread
 
You look at the retired
who can't go on
gathered without understanding
what will happen to the,
 
And you see the lodgers
ghosts without a home
followed by the winter
looking without looking
looking without looking
 
The homeland, they said to you
and they said wrong
the homeland of Artigas
we'll have to find it.
We'll have to find it
even if it becomes
a needle in the haystack
 
It was fenced by friends
of Lecor or Alvear
and by those who betrayed
Artigas too
 
The homeland comrade
we're gonna find it
we're gonna find it
we're gonna find it
The homeland comrade
we're gonna find it

But Not Another Winter

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
 
I walk every day
Through the street that own and have
I get back
And you ask me, ”so, are you ready yet?”
Give me flowers on balconies
Give me dope and Ketobemidon
Give me everything that will make me happy
2025 plans
Science fiction novels
Give me Third World War on a plate
 
But not another winter
But not another winter
 
I strike a blow
I have landed and on my way away from here
It goes back to the election
Go on and get a sub
Give me boot stomping in the streets
Fire at the embassies
And squares that are filled with hate
Give me techno-. Pluto-crater
Sovereign oligarchs
Those that are lying when they come in peace
 
But not another winter
But not another winter
 
Spring flowers in the trees
Faith and things under control
Everything much closer
Swan stomping on the lake
Beat music in my ears
Sun in my nights
It will be summer and we'll come, oh oh
 
Now we'll forget it was winter
Now we'll forget it was winter
Now we'll forget it was winter
Now we'll forget it was winter
 
Spring flowers in the trees
Faith and things under control
Everything much closer
Swan stomping on the lake
Beat music in my ears
Sun in my nights
It will be summer and we'll come, oh oh
 
I walk every day
Through the streets it's my human shower
I'm left with
Tell me after post war comes what?
 
Then another winter comes
Then another winter comes
 
Everything much closer
Sun in my nights
It's coming, it will be summer
It's coming, it will be summer and winter
Everything much closer
Sun in my nights
It's coming, it will be summer
But not another winter

I Think I Am The Champion

Are you ready, ours is a heroism story
We have two small hearts and shouldn't be afraid to leave
 
She's looking at me, looking at me right now
And holding my hand without feeling shy
No I'm kidding, I'd die for you
 
She loves me, she loves the champion
She has miracles classy
In love with you, adore you
Look at your palms
 
You're in every detail
Want to hear your name under every music
I'm endless in your prayers
I think I am the champion

Alone

Na na na
No need to talk
We already feel the connection
As soon as you showed up, you got everyone's attention
that will be there the whole night
if she gets what she wants
I wanted to see you dancing with me
moving the way you like
 
She says she [rather] dances alone
saying that no one controls her
[but] when it comes to me, she ignores all of this
when we're dancing, hours go by
She says she [rather] dances alone
saying that no one controls her
[but] when it comes to me, she ignores all of this
Yeah
But she doesn't ignore me
 
Waiting for you to work with me
to feel a bit of your [magic] powers
Don't try to put off that [now] it's time
Let me try all of your moves
We're leaving while the music keeps playing
I look at your face and I see you smiling
They are watching us, I like everything we're doing
I want this night to go by slowly
We're leaving while the music keeps playing
I look at your face and I see you smiling
They are watching us, I like everything we're doing
I want this night to go by slowly
 
She says she [rather] dances alone
saying that no one controls her
[but] when it comes to me, she ignores all of this
when we're dancing, hours go by
She says she [rather] dances alone
saying that no one controls her
[but] when it comes to me, she ignores all of this
Yeah
But she doesn't ignore me
 
She is the only one who shows up and shines like a star
I have never seen a woman so beautiful
Be careful with her, don't you crash-land
She...
She is the only one who shows up and shines like a star
I have never seen a woman so beautiful
Be careful with her, don't you crash-land
We're leaving while the music keeps playing
I look at your face and I see you smiling

I want this night to go by slowly

I just want

Hiding where you won't find me
So that for once you'll miss me, too.
Didn't get in touch with you in weeks
And am constantly wondering where you are
 
I just want,
that you know, that you are still loved by me.
And that, in the end, there's no one else, either
Who completes me like that.
Who moves me like that.
 
I show you that I don't need you
And that I can leave whenever I want
Do you have any idea how much I'm smoking
Since you're gone?
And if you're asking, then I am silent.
 
I just want,
that you know, that you are still loved by me.
And that, in the end, there's no one else, either
Who completes me like that.
Who moves me like that.
 
I just want, that you know, you are still loved by me.
And that, in the end, there's no one else, either
Who completes me like that.
Who moves me like that.
 
I just want, that you know, you are still loved by me.
And that, in the end, there's no one else, either
Who completes me like that.
Who moves me like that.

You're not the way you were anymore

Winter's gonna come as in the old days
and the sky as always
the loneliest ones will dream in the station
the moon above...
I'll see two angels in the parking lot
just singers at the gate
the house at the corner will have
the colour of a morning...
 
But you're not
the way you were anymore
No, you're not
the way you were when you were mine...
You're not
the way you were anymore
No, you're not
the way you were when you were mine...
 
The bells will ring again
never late, as usually
the phone will ring the same way:
one-two-three...
We'll listen to the same jokes
we'll laugh all so much
and we'll be back for an hour
there in the past...
 
But you're not
the way you were anymore
No, you're not
the way you were when you were mine...
You're not
the way you were anymore
No, you're not
the way you were when you were mine...

Bubalu

[Intro: Prince Royce & Anuel AA]
(Ooh, yeah, ooh, uuh, yeah, yeah)
Ever since I saw you, I knew you were for me
Now, look at you, your heart beats for me
But I didn't appreciate you, baby, I did you wrong
Now you got me here talking to myself in the mirror
Asking myself 'why do I feel you distant.'
Look what came from a simple wish
But if it's for you, everything died
 
[Chorus: Anuel AA & Prince Royce]
Let me in, like before
When you and I were lovers
Baby, I'm not here to miss you
This has taken an interesting turn
Let me in, like before
When you and I were lovers
Baby, I'm not here to miss you
This has taken an interesting turn
 
[Verse 1: Anuel AA]
My bubalu, I miss biting you all over and your blue hair
I'm always alone in the Ferrari thinking about you and the engine is in the trunk
Come back, if you try, the angels cry that's why the clouds are raining
Sometimes, you don't know what you got until you lose it
And you killed Cupid
There were so many promises and none of them I've fulfilled
Baby, I miss your moans and your happiness I won't impede
But you've made your life and I hate your husband
And I wish times were like before
But like Ozuna, I was a 'Farsante'
And I failed and disappointed you
And our love I've tainted
 
[Chorus: Anuel AA & Prince Royce]
Let me in, like before
When you and I were lovers
Baby, I'm not here to miss you
This has taken an interesting turn
Let me in, like before
When you and I were lovers
Baby, I'm not here to miss you
This has taken an interesting turn
 
[Verse 2: Becky G]
I've always been here, she is temporary
Tell her I'm the one that can steal you
I have proof and, baby, you think about me
Don't dare to deny it
Let's do it like before
I'll wait for you in my room
I want you to make me lose control
Lips without looking for love
I want to win even though my heart doesn't prove it
And I'm lying if I tell you I don't think
About our first meet
Everything that just one kiss entails
How to forget what ended skin to skin
 
[Chorus: Anuel AA & Prince Royce]
Let me in, like before
When you and I were lovers
Baby, I'm not here to miss you
This has taken an interesting turn
Let me in, like before
When you and I were lovers
Baby, I'm not here to miss you
This has taken an interesting turn
 
[Bridge: Prince Royce, Becky G & Anuel AA]
Ever since I saw you, I knew you were for me
Now, look at you, your heart beats for me
But I didn't appreciate you, baby, I did you wrong
Now you got me here talking to myself in the mirror
Asking myself 'why do I feel you distant.'
Look what came from a simple wish
But if it's for you, everything died
 
[Outro: Anuel AA & Becky G & Prince Royce]

I cannot be upset

x 2
I cannot be upset
If I don”t have something,
When I know that I have in my life
Something that others don”t.
 
(pre-chorus)
I always ask myself:
If we have just one life,
Why people are bad?!
Cause we don”t live thousand of years
So as we argue for money.
 
(chorus)
Oh, oh, troubles and sorrows,
Oh, oh, man, you have them until you die...
I lost once, I gain once,
A dozen times I started over again.
I did good things, I did bad things,
Every day is a new start.
 
x 2
If I praise with what I have
What”s the point?
I live my life as I know
And I work hard to have my own place/ meaning.
 
(pre-chorus)
I always ask myself:
If we have just one life,
Why people are bad?!
Cause we don”t live thousand of years
So as we argue for money.
 
(chorus)
Oh, oh, troubles and sorrows,
Oh, oh, man, you have them until you die...
I lost once, I gain once,
A dozen times I started over again.
I did good things, I did bad things,
Every day is a new start.

Dervish

Nothing would happen to you
Don't say that to me
These tears I'll keep on shedding
are coming from you
 
Love made us tired, it was hard
I think it's enough, my heart is tired
Has swallowed the pain, held the fire
Would it end if it'd suffer for a century
 
I've become I've become I've become
I've become a dervish I've become
I've burn I've burn
I'm not myself, I'm died down

It shines!


Oh Tamatoa's life is shining!
I was once sidelined.
I will be living happily from now on
I have become beautiful!
 
Did Grandma tell you to listen to the heart?
Did she say you will be victorious?
She did say beauty is not in the form,
She told a lie!
 
Rather my body-
It shines! Like the treasure of pirates!
All cleaned up and scintillating-
It shines! Like the jewellery of a princess!
It shines Do you know?
 
Fish chase stupidly anything that
glitters! Go shoo away!
The come hurried, by the beauty of (my) shine
They behold!
 
Mmmm... Fish dinner-
 
Is my free feast! And you're my sea food!
 
...
 
Mauis magic has no effect!
You are no creator!
Alas, your adventures have failed!
I will vanquish-
You!
 
You're not as strong as before!
I will thank you specially!
Like your body art
I made my body shine everywhere!
 
Do I hide now... No! My body...
It shines! Like a diamond on a heap of trash!
Shine it does, my form
It shines! And your strength is not enough to destroy me!
Strong guy!
 
And you too...
May grow up a little
I will not lose to you! Bow to me!
For your life to end, for your story's end it's time!
The time will end
 
You made a mistake, you were sidelined! Those
Humans' love you will not receive it back!
You were branded as a thief!
Your powers abandoned you!
 
Maui!
 
Your time is counted in days!
My body though, like lightning-
 
It shines! Your eyes will see the final scene!
This is life! From now on-
It shines! May you tell your last wish before dying
To me!
 
My body though will be better than yours
Like a streak of lightning, it illuminates
It shines!

amazarashi - In the Darkness: To Leave and Never Return

Versions: #2
In the Darkness: To Leave and Never Return
 
Sucking on a piece of hard candy, in a school building the night before the war, jailed-up teenagers whistle the moonlit night.
 
And on the two-day-old newspaper that clings to the iron fences are the typical sensationalist headlines and smiles of a mother and father.
 
On the veranda of an apartment building, a pack of panty-raiding boys - steal the capitalism-glorifying lingerie.
 
In my case, I want to get in a little bit of trouble tonight, so I'm packing contraband CDs and a knife in my backpack.
 
Misery is continuing to act miserable, while being miserable all the while.
 
And my misery makes me boast about how miserable I am.
 
''If it's sunny out tomorrow, let's go play catch or something!'' - Catch this emotionally unstable curveball!
 
The days always pass us by, and they always leave us in the dust.
 
We missed the last train, and we're waiting for daybreak on the platform.
 
But we're such cowards, so we always cry as though we were the victims.
 
And we'll cry untill these excuse-like tears return to the sea.
 
It's like I'm driving a bomb-rigged truck down the rough roads of the Middle East with a speed far greater than merely hurrying toward death.
 
And though that's not really the reason, I'm going out on a journey.
 
There's exhaust gas in the headwinds, and I've got the Blue Hearts playing on cassette.
 
Tomorrow will take care of itself, just like it always does.
 
Our freedom always makes us run off at the mouth about how restrained we are.
 
If yesterday never comes back once it leaves, then on recycling day, it can take with it the thrown out heap of classified magazines.
 
The days always pass us by, and they always leave us in the dust.
 
We missed the last train, and we're waiting for daybreak on the platform.
 
But we're such cowards, so we always cry as though we were the victims.
 
And we'll cry untill these excuse-like tears return to the sea.
 
Until they return to the sea.
 
Until they return to the sea.
 
''Do we keep going? Do we turn back?'' We can't look back ever again!
 
''Do we keep going? Do we turn back?'' Once you stand still, it's over!
 
Like empty soda cans that didn't make it into the park trash bin - Look! Our unfulfilled dreams from way back when are littered on the ground.
 
The days always pass us by, and they always leave us in the dust.
 
We missed the last train, and we're waiting for daybreak on the platform.
 
But we're such cowards, so we always cry as though we were the victims.
 
And we'll cry untill these excuse-like tears return to the sea.
 
Until they return to the sea.
 
Until they return to the sea.

How can I get you?

How can I get you and what must I do?
Who do I need to show up with and where?
 
How can I get you? Fire was running in my veins,
when I saw you for the first time.
 
Can you reveal me the that secret?
 
How can I get you? Tell me, I do not know.
I want to take you somewhere hidden and own you.
 
I'll go hang from the bridge's fence,
I'll go tattoo your name on my forehead.
 
I'll honor you on my knees,
if that's the way to get you.
 
You can take my passport, whatever.
Or ruin me, it doesn't matter.
 
I'll accommodate you in my bachelor's box,
if that's the way to get you.
 
How can I get you? You appeared in my way,
almost like it became an obsession.
 
How can I get you? Do you have a price?
You'd be the most wonderful thing to buy.
 
Can you reveal me the that secret?
 
How can I get you? How do I change your mind?
How do I convince you, that you're mine?
 
I'll go hang from the bridge's fence,
I'll go tattoo your name on my forehead.
 
I'll honor you on my knees,
if that's the way to get you.
 
You can take my passport, whatever.
Or ruin me, it doesn't matter.
 
I'll accommodate you in my bachelor's box,
if that's the way to get you.
 
Aaa.. Aaa.. Aaa..
How can I get you?
How can I get you?
How can I get you?
 
I'll go hang from the bridge's fence,
I'll go tattoo your name on my forehead.
 
I'll honor you on my knees,
if that's the way to get you.
 
You can take my passport, whatever.
Or ruin me, it doesn't matter.
 
I'll accommodate you in my bachelor's box,
if that's the way to get you.

Always of you

I still see us standing in the rain.
A last kiss, a last glance.
No answer to the question:
will you ever come back?
 
Why can't I be free anymore
and go forward like before?
I close my eyes and miss you,
I feel so utterly empty.
 
I'll always think only of you
till the end of my days.
You'll always be
the answer to my question.
Always,
till the end of my days
I'll think only of you.
 
The Earth keeps spinning
yet time stays frozen for me.
So many unasked questions,
which way should I go now?
 
Give me a token of your yearning,
just a little piece of you.
Lead me to light in my every hour
and dispel the darkness in me.

On the road to Villa Nueva

Memory of a yesterday
when I met you,
for all your love
you offered (it) to me.
 
There a love was born
because of you beautiful woman,
and time gave us
that joyfulness of a love.
 
How to forget it if it was
an peerless idyll
lived between both (of us)
in that beautiful place!
 
On the way to that jebar
landscape like Eden,
to my hometown
New Villa of my love.
 
Today alone when remembering
I'm fullfullied with emotion
bliss and happiness
they enthral my heart.
 
Charm of living
so united the two of us
and relive your love
as a blessing of God.

Poison

With poison through the entire body
Moved your warmth
I already feel the closeness
I am even closer to you
 
I need to trigger the senses
To know the smell of your body
To feel the pleasure
And stay next to you tonight
 
Hey, hey, another day will pass
Hey, hey, another night will die
I do not know how to be without you.
 
Leave invisibly
Leave me while I am still asleep
I promise to be sad
Promise me to return for a long time
 
When I wake up in your room
I see myself in the mirror
The pillows smell like you
Tonight we became close
 
Hey, hey, another day will pass
Hey, hey, another night will die
I do not know how to be without you

Like a sleeping forest

The swamp is whispering in a summery night
like a sleeping forest
In it the treetops are waving
As a dead tree's trunk
And underneath lying
happily sleeping
Like being on a walk
The road is steady and blooming
 
But on who's country road
are you able to hear singing?
When through a broad land is singing
the swamp like a sleeping forest
The road has been cast
by time itself
That's why the one back home
Know's it's path
 
I feel it,
I'm here only as a quest.
Unfamiliar valleys,
Have already been forgotten.
For me weird is,
My shoulders' weight.
Unknown,
My sweet girl is.
 
I feel it,
Quietly whispering it's yearning.
The fields are lonely,
Their land is black.
For me weird is,
the frosts cover.
Unknown,
is the lady of dreams.
 
There flailing a farmer's job,
like the foam of a river.
It's froth covers the rocks,
It has a steady stream.
When it arrives to me,
The fresh hay's scent.
I won't harvest,
That old swampy land.
 
When I take my final step,
That lady can pick up
the dead flower.
Like she'd know my dream,
That I won't wake up from it.
Under a gray trunk,
If the time of living,
goes through all fear.
 
I feel it,
I'm here only as a quest.
Unfamiliar valleys,
Have already been forgotten.
For me weird is,
My shoulders' weight.
Unknown,
My sweet girl is.
 
I feel it,
Quietly whispering it's yearning.
The fields are lonely,
Their land is black.
For me weird is,
the frosts cover.
Unknown,
is the lady of dreams.
 
I feel it,
Quietly whispering it's yearning.
The fields are lonely,
Their land is black.
For me weird is,
the frosts cover.
Unknown,
is the lady of dreams.
 
I know, that living
just for tomorrow.
It feels like from a moment
the steps ran away.
Now time is disappearing,
Fading in to the shadows.
Like restless,
and gone is my dream.

You're lit

You came in the middle of a lying winter
Welcome
it's been written in my destiny, I know
you are the price to all my good deeds
Does it suit you leaving without an answer?
Is it possible
when i look at you my heart crushes at the look of your face
 
You kissed me without getting noticed
And i didn't run away of course
Actually I have a soul
I wanted it,too
a good blessing
the beauty of my soul
A fake one just won't do it my lover
 
You're lit and you know it, too
I'm shocked as to how you are mine
Don't i know the value of your heart?
To my life you are a miracle.

Everything is an Illusion

Everything is only illusion
And created by me,
But I am not able to escape from it.
I have been caught in my own delusion
And my poor eyes cannot perceive any aim.
 
The answer can never be outside,
It always lies inside,
Sleeping within me.
But what eye can see inside?
I need a new look
A new meaning
 
Everything is only illusion
And created by us,
But we are not able to escape from it.
We have been caught in our own dellusion
And our poor eyes cannot perceive any aim.
 
The answer can never be outside,
It always lies inside,
Sleeping within us.
But what eye can see inside?
We need a new look
A new meaning

Cadaver's Star

For you, I have died
And must in every cage
stand up again.
My eye has glared
And no one has
seen within this moment.
 
For you, I have died
Very slowly , but the chimney
only shortly spewed smoke.
No moon was there to bay.
I have only
Naked neon lights spat at.
 
For me Treblinka is every day.
Soweto and My Lai.
For me Golgatha is every day
And the war never ends.
The war never ends...
 
For you, I have died.
That's how you survive
Your sick life.
How can you merely stand
That you, from my birth on,
Give me no chance.
 
For you, I have died
And above you, always hangs
This burnt smell.
You name the history of the world
But you are still today
Just an animal experiment.
 
Now I grab at the trash
From the rich table of the Lord
Somewhere far above
On the Cadaver's Star.
On the Cadaver's Star....

The Face

I wear a face
But you do not recognize me,
Because something about it disturbs
That doesn't belong to me.
 
I wear a face.
But when it speaks to you,
It lies without reason
With a warped mouth.
 
Take it off,
Take it off.
Go away,
Go away.
 
I wear a face
That shies from daylight.
It shows itself only at night
When no one watches any more.
 
I wear a face,
Eyes without light.
Its last, weak glimpse
Completely leaves me.
 
Take it off,
Take it off.
Go away,
Go away.

Peace Itself

Just a few days, and you learn to hate me
For your jealousy of every short skirt.
Instead of going, and finally leaving me,
You stand as if petrified, before the knife block.
 
Push the blade into my heart.
Drive it in.
You ought to be more brave.
You ought to be more brave.
 
Just a few night, and you learn to despise me.
While I sleep, you count every breath.
You stare at me like a scientist, eyeballing an insect.
'Where is my ring, that he wore just last night?'
 
Press a pillow to my face.
Let no air in.
You ought to be more brave.
Put the noose around my neck.
Constrict it.
You ought to be more brave.
You ought to be more brave.
 
Just a few years, and you begin to devise plans
For the day when you stand silent by my bed
Until everyone says: 'He has peacefully passed away!' (He has peacefully passed away)
And there would be no smile on your face to see.
 
Trickle poison into my glass.
Then leave me alone.
You ought to be more brave.
 
Do you really believe, that you are
Alone with your hate?
Should I scream my
unvarnished contradiction?
 
I am peace itself.
Look at me! [x8]

Dorina's Picture

We carried the cannon
In single-file through the mud.
First with song, then without
Until we were over the ridge.
 
We pieced it together
In the fog-front of ice and firn.
Hands full of scraps
Cold sweat on my forehead.
 
Every time
When I sat alone at the post
Every time
When the cold ate through my clothes
Every time
I carried it protectively like a shield
I held Dorina's picture
 
Sometimes we were blinded by the snow.
Many were frozen.
In the icy, cold wind
My companion went missing.
 
I sat there like a corpse,
Motionless for hours.
My eyes played tricks,
Saw ghosts there on the slope.
 
Every time
When I sat alone at the post
Every time
When the cold ate through my clothes
Every time
I carried it protectively like a shield
I held Dorina's picture
 
In the light of the flickering lantern
Lay listening posts overhearing.
In tunnels, deep in ice caves
They hear the glaciers whisper.
 
We're not alone here.
Nights, one hears them digging.
The enemy buries itself in the stone,
Hammering and scraping.
 
They tirelessly drag tons
Of explosives into the shaft.
Bright as 1000 suns
The explosion tears the night.
 
With a shock
Burst bones, rock and steel.
With a shock
The glacier rushes into the valley.
With a shock
Bodies fall heavily onto stones.
With a shock
Suddenly calm takes over.
 
It's like my dreams.
I lay on my back in the high grass
On the field, under trees,
Where I often sat with her.
 
In her summer dress, she comes to me.
The sun shines in her face.
She looks at me, smiles a bit.
A last time
Dorina's picture...

And then you came

Back then I was wandering from place to place,1
envious of the pigeons who knew where to nest.
I fell asleep on the grass in Henry IV2 square.
My roaring twenties sought I don't know what,
and when night came to take me in its arms,
I was afraid of my own shadow, and yet stood up magnificently to it.
 
And then you came
See, the world is in full bloom3
 
My only possessions were a pair of stockings,
a too long dress and the cat's basket
that I clasped to my heart like a tender rose.
I was conspicuously squandering my youth4
I was both the wine shoot and the fire in the heart,
that left a constant taste of ashes on my lips.
 
And then you came
See how my hands are shaking
 
I had lovers like you ride the subway
when you've had enough of waiting
for a cab in the street and, regardless of the weather,
I waited for them to fall asleep against me
then resumed my vagrant life5
Dawn dogs wandered behind me like a parade.
 
And then you came
See, nice weather, it's snowing
 
I don't know myself who I really was.
Whas I a fool or wise or both? I couldn't say,
what with me banging my clumsy wings around.
Still I know that today, with you,
I remained true to who I was before,
when my only wish was to be of some use.
 
Since you came,
see, everything is possible now.
 
  • 1. 'clocher' is a church bell tower, but 'la cloche' means to live as vagrant. For some obscure reason, the bell is a symbol for vagrancy in French. Even 'clochard' (tramp) derives from it.
  • 2. le Vert Galant was a nickname of French king Henry the 4th. There is a famous square with that name in Paris. 'vert galant' means something like 'old womanizer' so the line sounds like she would be a sugar daddy's girl while she actually just sleeps in a square Regular smile
  • 3. 'en gerbe' refers to harvested wheat tied in sheafs, but the idea is the same
  • 4. 'beffroi'(belfry) is mostly there for the rhyme, but 'au beffroi' evokes a conspicuous attitude, like shouting something from the rooftops. The line can evoke two images based on two meanings of 'claquer', either 'burn through your money' or 'flap' like a flag. Either she dillapidated her youth (perched on a belfry!), or she was like a piece of laundry (hung from a belfry!) flapping aimlessly in the wind.
  • 5. 'déménager à la cloche de bois' ('moving into the wooden bell inn') means living in the street.

Gold Lining

I could talk only bad about you
But it doesn't help, it doesn't help anyone
And I don't feel like hating, I don't feel like hating you anymore
 
I could say you hurt me the most
But it doesn't change, it doesn't change anything
And I don't want to cry, I don't want to cry for you
 
Now when I look at this picture
which I used to turn towards the wall
I remember all the good about you
and that beautiful day when we said 'I do'
I will never forget or experience something greater
I didn't get a happy ending
But I keep it within a gold lining
 
But what if I tell you about it
that I'm OK, everything is OK
and I'm not missing, not missing that often anymore
 
Now when I look at this picture
which I used to turn towards the wall
I remember all the good about you
and that beautiful day when we said 'I do'
I will never forget or experience something greater
I didn't get a happy ending
But I keep it within a gold lining
 
I didn't get a happy ending
But I keep it within a gold lining
 
A happy ending
But I keep it within a gold lining

Csak álmodva

Ma semmit sem mulasztottam el,
Mert csak rólad álmodtam.
Régóta nem láttuk egymást,
Egyszerűen átmegyek hozzád.
Minden, amit benned kedvelek,
Úgy értem, ahogy mondom,
Teljesen zavarodott vagyok,
Meg fogok őrülni, ha ez ma megtörténik.
 
Olyan egyedül vagyok...
Megőrülök...

I fell in love with a monster


You could be a bit more tender with me.
But you were so strikingly handsome
when you spilled out the truth
in my face like a bucket of icy water.
From now on it will be as you asked.
And I feel like I'm lost in a haze.
I can't feel the ground under my feet.
I came close to you,
looked you in the eye
and couldn't see love there.
 
Me, I could live for you,
just for you.
I could die for you
and come back from the dead.
Just tell me why,
I can't understand.
What kind of force keeps me tied to him?
Sister, I fell in love with a monster.
 
Shutting our eyes as if blinded by a flash,
we repelled each other as hard as we could1,
and moved away,
without a glance back.
From now on it will be as you asked.
 
Me, I could live for you,
just for you.
I could die for you
and come back from the dead.
Just tell me why,
I can't understand.
What kind of force keeps me tied to him?
Sister, I fell in love with a monster.
 
I fell in love with a monster...
Sister, I fell in love with a monster.
I fell in love with a monster...
 
Me, I could live for you,
just for you.
I could die for you
and come back from the dead.
Just tell me why,
I can't understand.
What kind of force keeps me tied to him?
Sister, I fell in love with a monster.
 
  • 1. she reuses the word 'сила' (force/strength) as if their relationship was based on electromagnetic attraction and repulsion, but the pun was too hard to render in English. Sorry about that.

Southern wind

The sea breeze salutes me
My body takes the rhythm to nature
I whirl my panama hat revolving the finger
 
The fruit wine they sent to my table
Is a message of someone unknown
I look on my back an I'm perplexed by a strong gaze
 
With the feet crossed in a white chair
And resting the chin in a hand you draw my attention
Like in a movie
I comb my hair up a little melancholically
Dangerous heart
 
Under the silhouette of the shadow of a coconut tree
My burnt body rests
Ignoring your transparent gaze and your pose
 
If you're a man dead of temptation
The seaside distracts me
Spontaneously you waved your hand attracting me
A beautiful boy on a white yatch
Dazzling eyes
 
If you're a man dead of temptation
You call me to the hotel window
Making me wave my freshly washed hair
In an instant I wink at you playing
Is it dangerous?

Near you sadness doesn”t show up

Like the sunshine after rain,
You show up in my way and then
Ceaselessly, from that moment,
You give me a great happiness!
 
(pre-chorus)
For some people love is just a game,
For us, love means everything!
 
(chorus)
Near you/ With you sadness doesn”t show up,
Even though it will be raining, it will be rain and sun too.
Today love made me smile again
And I locked, I locked the past in a drawer.
 
Caress me with your words,
Because you never lie to me.
Love was a disillusion,
But since I”m with you, it isn”t this way anymore!
 
(pre-chorus)
 
(chorus x 2)

Vénusz vére

Vénusz mérge mindannyiunkat elvakított
Méreghozó a szívnek és elmének
Sose állj ellen, mikor a szemeid lángra lobbantják a vadat
Vénusz mérge vagy egy tündérmese
Énekelj a csábításról, mikor a szirének sírnak
A csodák miatt, amiket leleplezel, kiment a fejünkből
 
Gyere, áldott vágy, buktass el mindannyiunkat
 
Mi vagyunk az átkozottak, jégből és tűzből vagyunk
Mi vagyunk az elsők, akik megölik a bűnöst a hazugságokért
Mi vagyunk az áldottak, sóvárgunk Vénusz mérge után egész életünkben
Egész életünkben
Mi vagy a kard, mi megszelídítjük a tüzet, a lángot
Köszöntjük az Urat, nem féljük a lázadót, a fájdalmat
A hatalmában vagyunk, Vénusz mérge folyik az ereinkben
 
Vénusz mérge elönti az ereinket
Megsemmisíti az elménket, míg csak a vágy marad
Gyújts fel minket, mint a hurrikánok nyomán
Vénusz mérge mindannyiunkat félrevezet
Hozd el a bűnt, mielőtt a mártírok imádkoznak
Hadd kezdődjön el az ítéletnapunk hajnalán
 
Mi vagyunk az átkozottak, jégből és tűzből vagyunk
Mi vagyunk az elsők, akik megölik a bűnöst a hazugságokért
Mi vagyunk az áldottak, sóvárgunk Vénusz mérge után egész életünkben
Egész életünkben
Mi vagy a kard, mi megszelídítjük a tüzet, a lángot
Köszöntjük az Urat, nem féljük a lázadót, a fájdalmat
A hatalmában vagyunk, Vénusz mérge folyik az ereinkben
 
És minden hívő szemében
Vezess minket egyenesen az isteni átokhoz
És mire a szívünk kezd meggyógyulni
Fecskendezd be a mérget az agyunkba
 
Mi vagyunk az átkozottak, jégből és tűzből vagyunk
Mi vagyunk az elsők, akik megölik a bűnöst a hazugságokért
Mi vagyunk az áldottak, sóvárgunk Vénusz mérge után egész életünkben
Mi vagy a kard, mi megszelídítjük a tüzet, a lángot
Köszöntjük az Urat, nem féljük a lázadót, a fájdalmat
A hatalmában vagyunk, Vénusz mérge folyik az ereinkben

A Chat With Happiness

Happiness out of the blue
Knocked upon my door
Are you joking? Happiness?
Why now and what is this for?
Rain and snow, bitter tears
A budget that's stretched too thin...
All these years, all these years
Where the heck you’ve been?
 
Chorus:
All of a sudden, the creaking of the door
Announced to me what I was living for
Long daunting years, heated arguments with Fate,
And now YOU arrive so fashionably late...
Freezing my gut and swimming across the stream
Had not lowered my self-esteem!
Subjecting myself to the high and the low extremes -
All that for this ultimate dream!
 
You had come, you came true
Just like that - unspoken
I was cursed without you
But now the spell is broken
Those who wait upon the Lord
Will walk and will not faint
And receive and afford
The wings with no restraint!
 
E.T. (Eva Trussell) aka Vesper Lynd
