Woman's blues

Because I'm a woman, I fall in love
Because I'm a woman, I get drunk in dreams
Because I'm a woman, I'm alone
Because I'm a woman, I'm living
 
To you, I want to cling up
Of you, I want to presume
To you, this life
To you, I want to give
 
Here is Tokyo, neon city
Here is Tokyo, tears city
Here is Tokyo, anything and everything
Here is Tokyo, lies city
 
Wherever I live, the wind blows
Wherever I live, the rain falls
Wherever I live, a single flower
Wherever I live, will fall someday

Out of where, where I have been.

Out of where, where I have been.
I stayed for long, I all forgot.
Can’t remember neither day nor date.
And those streams to force.
 
(I am an unidentified soldier.
Troop soldier. Lambda soldier.
I am the one struck by lost bullets.
I am the bloody ice of January.
I am stiff incrusted into this ice-
In it, as a fly into amber.)
 
Out of where, where I have been.
I was out of everything. I all forgot.
Can’t remember neither date nor day,
Nor can put names upon.
 
(I am the gallop of hard ridden horses.
I am hoarse shouting when running.
I am a moment of a survival day.
I am the battle at a distant border.
I am the flame of eternal fire-
And the flame of cartridges on shelter.)
 
Out of where, where I have been.
Terrible state to be or not to be.
All this I almost forgot.
All this I want to forget.
I am not involved in the war-
She takes part in me.
And the gleam of eternal fire
Trembles on my cheekbones.
 
(I can’t no more be excluded
From these years, from that war.
I can’t no more be cured
From that winter, from those snows.
Out of that earth, out of that winter
I can’t no more be distinguished,
Even before out of those snows, you can’t
No more my tracks discern.)
 
What is, where I have been!

Translation of a poem of Youri Levitansky.
 

I wish for you

I promise to myself to be allright without you
That's what I owe to my heart
And from now I wish to your (heart)
To feel me like a heavy stone
 
I want you to stagger without drinking,
To ask for me every day
To call every (woman) with my name
to regret,
that you're alive
 
Refrain:
I wish you to need me
like the one who is dying from thirst needs water
(I wish you) to miss me, to become your tears
to steam down from you eyes.
(I wish you) to look like a black shadow, unable to love
Let me know that God gave you a lesson.
 
Did you build your happiness on someone else's misery,
It's impossible to play the love,
It will give it back to you a whole lifetime
 
If you can turn back the time
are you gonna turn us into this
To betray again like Judas
or you will fix everything
 
Refrain:
I wish you to need me
like the one who is dying from thirst needs water
(I wish you) to miss me, to become your tears
to steam down from you eyes.
(I wish you) to look like a black shadow, unable to love
Let me know that God gave you a lesson.
 
I wish you to need me
like the one who is dying from thirst needs water
(I wish you) to miss me, to become your tears
to steam down from you eyes.
(I wish you) to look like a black shadow, unable to love
Let me know that God gave you a lesson.
 

Dayenu, It Would Have Sufficed

If He had brought us out from Egypt,
and had not carried out judgments against them - It would have sufficed!
If He had carried out judgments against them,
and not against their idols - It would have sufficed!
If He had destroyed their idols,
and had not smitten their first-born - It would have sufficed!
If He had smitten their first-born,
and had not given us their wealth - It would have sufficed!
 
Dayenu, it would have sufficed!
 
If He had given us their wealth,
and had not split the sea for us - It would have sufficed!
If He had split the sea for us,
and had not taken us through it on dry land - It would have sufficed!
If He had taken us through the sea on dry land,
and had not drowned our oppressors in it - It would have sufficed!
If He had drowned our oppressors in it,
and had not supplied our needs in the desert for forty years - It would have sufficed!
 
Dayenu, it would have sufficed!
 
If He had supplied our needs in the desert for forty years,
and had not fed us the manna - It would have sufficed!
If He had fed us the manna,
and had not given us the Shabbat - It would have sufficed!
If He had given us the Shabbat,
and had not brought us before Mount Sinai - It would have sufficed!
If He had brought us before Mount Sinai,
and had not given us the Torah - It would have sufficed!
 
Dayenu, it would have sufficed!
 
If He had given us the Torah,
and had not brought us into the land of Israel - It would have sufficed!
If He had brought us into the land of Israel,
and not built for us the Holy Temple - It would have sufficed!
 
Dayenu, it would have sufficed!
 

A woman's Jonkara bushi

The snow flies high from below
Entwining in my red hem
The journey of a woman with a thick-necked shamisen
Grumbles, bursts open, smokes and burns
There's a man I can't be apart from him
Jonkara, jonkara, I want you to understand me
 
The disorder of my bachi and mine
I won't let you say farewell words
The weakness of a woman who waited in the deep
Male instincts are lighter than the wind
Hiding in the moon, I do it like this
Jonkara, jonkara, I want you to let me cry
 
The sky became plumb-coloured
The spring is too distant from me
If I hit the thick neck, I break even the strings
I hate you, I love you, you ache me, you're hard
A woman's melody entines in my finger
Jonkara, jonkara, I want you

I go crazy

I hear a familiar voice talking to someone else.
You're somewhere there,
I can't see but I feel how you're testing me.
 
I go crazy about you, you're just what I want.
When I go crazy about you, I won't settle for anyone else.
I pick up a flower and garnish your hair with it.
I tell you how beautiful you look
In your white dress.
When I go crazy about you, you're just what I want.
When I go crazy about you, I won't settle for anyone else.
Your button eyes, I have looked at the for a long time already.
Feels good, to be quiet and I whisper in your ear:
I go crazy about you, you're just what I want.
When I go crazy about you, I won't settle for anyone else.
 

How Could I Forget You

How could I forget you
How to endure your absence
How to run away from memories
I can't help it, I just can't.
 
I don't know how to explain
If I lean on your chest
If I cry till I dry out
If I beg you not to leave
 
Wake up from sleep now
Save me with this fear
Save me from this solitude
Don't leave me.
 
How can I forget you
How to hide my love
How to use my hands
I can't help it, I just can't.
 

Inside me

I... fell when you fell
I... am the silver in your veins
Always... we are so close together and apart
Always... you and I are mortal through and through
 
No longer do words hurt
Light... no longer scares the eyes
Let... my heart fall to pieces
Let... me freeze, it's all the same to me
 
Inside me the fire burns out...
Inside me is cold pain...
Inside me a star goes out...
Inside me there's cold again...
 
Hide... my two wings behind my back
I... will sketch the sky with you
We... looked eye-to-eye in unison
We... became close, but it's not possible any more
 
I... will break, you will understand me
And... the rain just goes through me
There... fiery frost fell from the sky
There... no one will ever find us again
 
Inside me the fire burns out...
Inside me is cold pain...
Inside me a star goes out...
Inside me there's cold again...

Evander

Nobody Has Flown Successfully, Ever

I'm going to leave
I can't breathe here
I sealed windows in order to stop feeling
And now I don't feel anything aside from emotional fatigue (asthenia)
 
I want to decompress
To see clearly, once again
To take wing, like Reichelt in Paris (see note)
And glide and be Aurora Boreal / Borealis (see note)
 
And revive (and have a comeback, resurge), and levitate, and to finally feel weightlessness (antigravity)
 
You, you, you, you, you, you
You need to wait
You, you, you, you, you, you
You should give up (desist)
You, you, you, you, you, you
You need to forget (your plans or dreams)
 
Nobody has ever flown
Never, nobody has managed to escape from here
I'll jump into the void (total vacancy, total vacuum)
I'm going to survive
 
Nobody has ever flown, never (see note)
Nobody has ever gotten to escape from here
They cling to this place
(They are) Loyal until they die
 
I wanted to flee
I could no longer put up with it
That constant hammering (lamb-related? borreguil?)
And so much laughter, so much merriment, so much wit (salt)
 
I tried to stop listening
To that crazy and loud uproar
I went slowly with a plan and I built
A large anechoic spheroidal room (camera, chamber) (see note)
 
And to revive (to resurge), I managed to levitate, and to finally feel weightlessness
 
And everyone said:
You need to stop, you should give up
You need to wait, you need to forget about it
And I wanted to fly, I wanted to FLY
 
Nobody has ever flown
Never, nobody has managed to escape from here
I'll jump into the void (total vacancy, total vacuum)
I'm going to survive
 
Nobody has ever flown, never (see note)
Nobody has ever gotten to escape from here
They cling to this place
(They are) Loyal until they die
 
Icarus jumps, he opens his wings
He feels the force, he wants to fly higher
Daedalus (father of Icarus) yells, Daedelus doesn't want to lose Icarus
He begs Icarus to come down, he implores him to come back
Icarus wants to be free, to cross the galaxy
The universe, to see even farther
 

The Valleys Of This Beautiful Land

The valleys of this beautiful land
Everywhere you can see galloping horses
The abundant wild horses racing
They pour forth approaching and trotting
 
This untamed beautiful land
I grew up hunting prey here
Upon the back of a fast tawny horse
In this land where I grew up
 
The earth is beautiful in this land
Hunting prey is always bountiful
Atop a majestic speckled horse
Trotting on, steadily as I grew up
 
These eternal blue skies are mine
Here are the spirits of my ancestors
Our strength until the very end
The might of our forefathers mercy
 

Yugo, my Yugo

My homeland, bountiful and plentiful
Everything dearest to me stayed with you
My husband, my kids, my whole family
And all those whom I loved
 
Ref.
Yugo, Yugo, your people cry out
I will always long after you
If I could just carry a piece of you with me
So that my heart would be filled with joy
Yugo, Yugo, your people cry out
I will always long after you
 
I cry and my heart hurts
Everything I love is far away over there
I have money, everything here is rich
But Yugoslavia is my only true gold
 
Ref.
 
My days remain sad and long
Until I come back to my dear Yugoslavia
My Yugoslavia, my favorite flower
You are the most beautiful country in this world
 
Ref.
 

Just Say One Word

I’ve experienced so much,
Was on the lookout,1
So much has happened.2
I ran through walls,
Thought I had made it,3
But (it was) never the same as with you.
 
I’ve lost thoughts,
And found them again,
But still never understood.
I’ve fallen in arms,
That have held me tight,4
But never the same as with you.
 
Just say one word,5
Just say one word,
Then we’ll swear to each other for a lifetime,
That we belong together.
 
I’ve travelled through in cities,
Lapped up excess6
Drawn blood7 so as not to freeze.
I was never really
So truely at home,
Never the same as with you.
 
I’ve lied to myself,
Often deceived my heart,
I could only lose.
I didn’t believe anymore,
That “I” could be “we”
Never the same as with you.
 
Just say one word,
Just say one word,
Then we’ll swear to each other for a lifetime,
That we belong together.
 
Oh, just say one word,
Just say one word,
Then we’ll swear to each other for a lifetime,
That we’ll never lose each other.
Then we’ll swear to each other for a lifetime,
That we belong together.
 
Just say one word,
Just say one word,
Just say one word,
Just say one word,
Then we’ll swear to each other for a lifetime,
That we belong together.
 

• 1. literally 'was on the search'
• 2. The sentiment of this verse seems to be that he has gone out and experienced life but finds that it doesn't compare to his time with her.
• 3. literally 'thought I'd arrived'
• 4. ”hab’ much festgehalten” literally “have held myself tight”, but I think my translation makes more sense in the context. Happy to be corrected as always!
• 5. comparable to the English phrase 'just say the word'
• 6. or “drank/got drunk on sleeping around”. The phrase “durch Betten (schlafen/gehen)” literally means “(to sleep/go) through beds” but is used as a euphemism for “sleeping around”.
• 7. literally “hurt”. I assume the idea here is that when you cut yourself blood rushes to the wound and hence warms you up for a time - I thought “drawn blood” got that message across more clearly.

Pansy Flowers

Versions: #2
Ornate ladybugs and intense pansy flowers
Won't recognize us, we'll come in new garments,
In new attire, having opened new eyes.
They will ask: Who are you? - Try to guess yourselves, guys.
 
Just as we came out, we'll be back already,
They will be surprised, but we'll start laughing steady.
How can one keep from laughing and crying,
They will recognize that and join us in our trying.
 
In the yard's a woodpile - [a] cat sits in limbo,
Stop shedding tears, look out from the window,
How splendid's the sky dome, how vibrant its colors -
These ladybugs and the ornate pansy flowers.

Forgiveness

Forgive me, my God:
I confess, I have sinned.
Contrite and humiliated
I beg for mercy.
 
Eternal goodness,
sovereign clemency,
in Your presence
I abhor my guilt.
 
Humbly I rush to your feet,
a miserable sinner,
with sincere sorrow
and crying.
 
By speaking I blamed myself,
greatly I've offended You,
it’s a great burden for me,
my God.
 

Towards the Moon

Yo
We're headed way up, towards the moon
Then we'll just stay in the present
Let's see what happens and let's settle down
Blindfolded, straight into the unknown
 
We're headed way up, towards the moon
Then we'll just stay in the present
Let's see what happens and let's settle down
Blindfolded, straight into the unknown
 
Oh, the direction is set towards the moon
With both feet on the ground, let's hold tightly onto the present
Please excuse me if I forget myself for a bit
There's no time pressure, no, we're in no hurry
Baby, trust me
Don't look down, no, rather follow me
This is an easy game floating, we'll both become numb
Yeah, we dance steadily to the beat even though we don't know the choreo
 
Hey, yeah
I know I sound crazy
But do you want to come with me, maybe?
Your charm simply snatched me
Oh, baby
 
Hey, yeah
I know I sound crazy
But do you want to come with me, maybe?
Your charm simply snatched me
Oh, baby

Blindfolded, straight into the unknown
 
We're headed way up, towards the moon
Then we'll just stay in the present
Let's see what happens and let's settle down
Blindfolded, straight into the unknown
 
Hold tightly onto my hand and don't let go
So high, high up, I feel like I'm falling
To the beat of our time, I dance
And stop for a moment just to catch my breath
 
Hey, yeah
I know I sound crazy
But do you want to come with me, maybe?
Your charm simply snatched me
Oh, baby

Tell Me

Tell me,
If you've ever lied,
If and when you did it, tell me,
Did you feel ashamed for being a liar?
Tell me, tell me, tell me
If you've ever hated,
And whom did you make believe,
that it was true love?
Tell me,
If you feel your heart,
as in inside itself,
the pain of your *brother?
Tell me, tell me, tell me...
If you've picked any flower
without your hands trembling?
Tell me,
If you truly believe in God,
Like you believe in fire when you burn yourself?
Tell me, tell me, tell me...
If the sky is your illusion
or if it's the truth on the earth?
Tell me...
To each thing, yes or no?
And then I'll know, if you're my dream
Tell me, tell me, tell me.
To each thing, yes or no?
And so I'll know,
what's your creed.
Tell me.
 

Now You've Got Me

Ohhh ohhh ohhh
Ohh ohhh ohhhh
Ohhh ohh ohhh
 
You had everything to give me
But I was always, too cowardly
It can be hard to believe in something
You don't know
They can be quite nice
The flowers that bloomed
Late
 
You were so full of faith in who we were and
What we should
That when it was my turn I was more threatening
To turn
Then you stopped giving and I got interested
But now I no longer get your attention
 
Now you've got me
All of me
Can you tell me what to do
So that you'll be like you were before
Now you've got me
oh oh
I am so full of faith in who we are and
What we shall
And I'll happily wait an eternety until
You get ready
But I think and think and think
Of if you have gotten tired of me
Or just mean that I have to wait for you
 
Now you've got me
oaahh ohhh oooh
All of me
Can you tell me what to do
So that you'll be like you were before
Now you've got me
ohh oh oh
I feel it clearly now
No doubt, only faith
I feel it clearly now
 
No doubt, only faith
No doubt, now you've got me
oaahh oh oh
All of me
Can you tell me what to do
So that you'll be like you were before
Now you've got me
oh oh
 
oooahhh ohhh ohh ohh
ohh ohh oohhh ohh oh
 

I am losing the true faith

I am losing the true faith -
It hurts me over our USSR:
Examine Nasser's decoration -
The decoration doesn't suit Nasser!
 
One may even swear from the platform in bad language,
Distribute presents obliquely all over the place,
Call Nasser our brother. -
But give him the Medal Gold Star of the Hero* - that's to squander!
 
Why is no gold in the country?
Gave it away, the bastards, gave it away!
It would have been better to have given it during the war, -
And Nassers would later forgive us.
 

Irony of Fate

As long as the patterns are drawn on the glass, it's winter
As long as you're not with me, but all alone
I so fled, I so flew
Snowflakes in your blizzard
Snowflakes in the blizzard of yours
To say I love you.
 
Whenever on the streets the winter performs and flaunts, na-na-na
And all the dogs and the flat owners are thus comfortable in [their] homes, na-na-na
 
Chorus:
Such is the story
The irony of fate, irony
Such is the story
Of how I found you.
 
You were sitting at home, but your white Labrador 'Salmon'
Whined, into the yard I wanted to go and at the phone the cord was gnawing
You were sitting at home alone in the embrace of a blanket
And into the yard he escaped, you had to break after him.
You lost him in the blizzards
And she went in tears among the snowy firs
Snowdrifts like riding breeches
I saw your gaze through the window of the cafe.
 

For everybody there's always somebody

For everybody there's always somebody
nobody ever lives without love
now that that somebody
[To] love is you
 
For everybody there's always somebody
Somebody to knows how to understand you
There's the mouth which
Can kiss you
 
And if it were in my power
the same I'd do with you
with your sweet smile
with your face that has made me fall in love.
 
For everybody there's always somebody
nobody ever lives without love
now that that somebody
Forever is you.
 
And if it were in my power
the same I'd do with you
with your sweet smile
with your face that has made me fall in love.
 
For everybody there's always somebody
nobody ever lives without love
now that that somebody
Forever is you.
chorus: for everybody there's always somebody
 

Nuse, Nuse

(You are sweet as chocolate,
I will steal you in front of your door,
Neither your father,
nor your nine brothers will rescue you.
 
Regardless that he calls his churches mosques,
we are old friends since the time when we played with marbles.
I saw him accidentally in a pub at Bit Pazar*,
he had never looked so sad, desperate.
Instead of his Nuse**, he is holding and cuddling
a glass of warm rakija*** in his Hands.
 
Nuse, Nuse, oh Nuse, oh,
I am gathering marks**** to buy you
your father asks for them.
Nuse, Nuse, oh Nuse, oh,
I do not have money, but I will take you,
just keep on laughing.
 
If you would be far away, you would be a movie couple,
but her father comes from a village near Gostivar*****.
I see, my brother,
you have a big desire underneath your skin.
My heart is tearing apart,
hear what I can propose to you.
Everything for love, we give our word,
if it is necessary we will steal her.
 
Nuse, Nuse, oh Nuse, oh,
I am gathering marks**** to buy you
your father asks for them.
Nuse, Nuse, oh Nuse, oh,
I do not have money, but I will take you,
just keep on laughing.
 
Nuse, Nuse, Nuse, (Albanian words)
Nuse, Nuse, Nuse, Nuse, my love!
 

The wind rises up

The wind rises up. Now is autumn
From today I'm a pilgrim of the heart
 
I don't want to show my sad face
Violet, sunflower, freesia
On the terrace of the plateau, a letter
I write with the ink of the wind
SAYONORA　SAYONARA　SAYONARA
If I look back, the grass changes its color
It seems that I can live alone
I have a red bandana rolled up my neck
You told me to not cry now
SAYONORA　SAYONARA　SAYONARA
 
The wind rises up. Now is autumn
I want but I can't return to your chest
The wind rises up. Now is autumn
From today I'm a pilgrim of the heart
 
My personality should be cheerful
Violet, sunflower, freesia
I don't want you to worry
Becuase separation is setting off on a trip
SAYONORA　SAYONARA　SAYONARA
 
Kissing the leaves of the grass
I want but I can't forget your smile
Closing my eyes, remembering
It's a wonderful trip from summer to autumn
 
The wind rises up. Now is autumn
I want but I can't return to your chest
The wind rises up. Now is autumn
From today I'm a pilgrim of the heart

Suicide/Love

Not tomorrow, today
Not half, whole
Be mine tonight
If my eyes see summer
My essence wouldn't forget winter
This night won't end.
 
Is there more?
I cheated loneliness
With you only.
Stars envied.
I talk about you,
to the ones whom doesn't believe in love.
The moon darkened.
 
Leave me, I can leave, myself
I got used to the loneliness, from now on
I'm not like you know me,
I'm like the way you erased me.
Loving you is like a suicide,
But not like a possibilty
The dress of love,
Is looking good on you,but, what a pity,
I'm not your tailor.
 
Nothin', but blue skies from now on.

Someday

Even though I knew this day would come,
my tears never stop flowing.
In the white room filled with summer sunlight
I saw a dream of eternal love with you.
 
The short season had passed, and the dream had gone and left.
A cold wind passes through my heart.
 
I will sing your favorite song
we used to listen to with each other.
Remember once again
and embrace you strongly.
 
The words of departure echo softly,
and your shadow disappears into the crowd.
 
While standing in the dripping rain,
I gaze up at the cloudy skies.
 
I will never forget the smiles you gave
me in those dazzling mornings.
Go back and once again, embrace you strongly.
 
While standing in the dripping rain
I gaze up at the cloudy skies.
 
I will never forget the smiles you gave
me in those dazzling mornings.
Go back and once again, embrace you strongly.
 
The day we meet again will definitely come
when that time comes, forgive me and once again
embrace you strongly.
 

There came the day

There came the day and the moment
When your mother found you by her side
After nine months, with great hardship
She made you and kissed your brow
 
Sleep little one, sleep with the angels
Sleep and rest, I sing you a lullaby
Oh, sleep my beautiful girl
Oh, sleep my beautiful girl
 
If from heaven a fairy descended
She could not match the splendor
That you are radiating, my adored beauty,
In your cradle of roses and flowers
 

Bad Neighbour

The dog has bitten my neighbour,
he said that he’ll make me pay
because he thinks that I’ve incited it,
but how can he think so?
My dog did his duty.
 
It saw people coming into its house:
it’s my house, and so be it!
He said he was coming in to greet,
yeah, to say “good evening” at midnight.
But he was touching my lemons and oranges,
not certainly to say hello at such an hour!
 
Then it was he the malefactor,
that’s why all the fruit was missing:
he jumped over the low wall and got in.
You can think of your neighbour:
evil bird, the fox was you!
 
Hide your face in a corner,
ask, if you need something.
My dog doesn’t want anyone to touch
its master’s oranges and lemons.
Forgive it and shut your mouth,
that’s what is anywhere in the world.
 
Whoever touches what he shouldn’t touch
can only expect a hard way,
he can’t expect to have grace
when he takes possession of other people’s things.
Malefactor, with a low wall!
 
So the chicken-stealer fox has jumped:
hide your face in a corner,
ask, if you need anything,
be it lemon, orange or onion.
Forgive it and shut your mouth,
that’s what is anywhere in the world.
 
So it was he the malefactor,
that’s why all the fruit was missing:
he jumped over the low wall and got in.
You can think of your neighbour:
evil bird, you are the fox!
 
Hide your face in a corner,
ask, if you need something.
My dog doesn’t want anyone to touch
its master’s oranges and lemons.
Forgive it and shut your mouth,
that’s what is anywhere in the world.
 

Raquel Villanueva

Surname is Villanueva and lies Monterrey licensed profesision the women is brave terror of the courts
They nickname her Raquenel
 
She defends pure narcos
So they said juge
What sums very millionaire
Your charge to defend
And for taking out criminals that I just put in
 
I know many bother my way of working
Well I have no commitment with no authority
They fight for confinement I fight for Freedom
 
I don’t come to defend nuns, nor sacristans nor cure
I come to defend my clients who request my help
That I charge them I charge them that has no doubt
 
I know I don’t fix the world but I’m something I have to help
well my work is very human Pay the one who can Pay
Share of that money took food to prison
 
She is a single mother and the little girl is her love
For the noble and justice treats her the world upside down well the evilness of a men is taught by a woman
 
Many have suffered attacks and god let her live
leave god to decide whos turn is it to die
 

Virgo shrine

I come with you (Really?)
I decided it for a long time (Where?)
From now on we'll go on a trip
If you invite me
Closing my eyes gently (great)
I nod lightly (and then)
Depending on the map of the constellation
We'll go together searching for happiness
 
Come on, let's ride on a falling star of the Milky Way railroad
The universe of stars are shining on the night sky
Acrossing Pegasus, I went round Taurus
I played with Cancer, and now I'm with you, Leo
 
I'm going immediately (For real?)
No. I won't regret (With who?)
With who taught me that believing is love
With you, my sweet dear
Dressing a wedding dress (white)
And carrying roses in my arms (full)
Like a pair of lovers in a Shoujo manga
Stars shine in our eyes
 
Come on, let's ride on a falling star of the Milky Way railroad
From among the stars scattered all over this world
I fell in love with Capricornus, I dumped Scorpio
My first love was Pisces, now I'm crazy for you, Leo
 
Come on, let's ride on a falling star of the Milky Way railroad
Every night the stars live shining
Only the heartbeat of a love life is a prayer of Virgo
I'm crazy for you young Leo, crazy for you

Not about you

Versions: #2
This isn't a song about you
Even though one might think so
Nor a song about the times
 
When we were in other people's courtyard
Kissing against the wall
Couldn't even wait until we got home
This isn't a song about you
Even if you heard a rumour
Nor a song about burning love
A flame that was just lit
One that not even the oceans of the world
Managed to put out
 
This isn't a song about longing
Nor is it about real life
This isn't a song about love
Nor about terrible sorrow
Not about you
 
This isn't a song about you
And you shouldn't think so
Nor about how I'm missing
You, won't tell anyone
A beautiful story about us
We never existed after all
 
This isn't a song about longing
Nor is it about real life
This isn't a song about love
Nor about terrible sorrow
Not about you
 
This isn't a song about you
This isn't a song about you
 
This isn't a song about longing
Nor is it about real life
This isn't a song about love
Nor about terrible sorrow
No, not a song about longing
Nor about real life
This isn't a song about love
Nor about terrible sorrow
Not about you
Not about you
Not about you
Not about you
 

Sergueï Essenine

Versions: #2
You are gone,
As they say,
To another world.
Void…
You are flying,
Among exploding stars.
No more deposit
Nor beer.
To be sober.
No, Essenine,
It’s not
Mockery
In my throat
Is a bowl of sorrow-
Not a giggle.
I see-
Trailing with a slashed wrist,
Of your own
Bones
You are rocking the bag.
-Enough!
Stop it!
Have you lost your mind?
So,
On your cheeks
Must be spilled
The mortal chalk?
Yours
At such things
They were skillful,
As to another one
No other one
It was impossible.
Why?
What for?
I am split by perplexity.
Critics mutter
-It comes from alcohol
This…
And that…
But first,
Not enough ties,
And last
A lot of beer and wine-
To say,
You would have exchange
Bohemia
For the class,
Entangled by the class,
You would have stop fighting.
But, the class itself
When thirsty
Is it not drinking kvass?
So far-the class
To have drunk is not dumb.
To say,
To you had been added
Someone of “Na Pastou”-
Would have put
To the content
Far more value.
You would have
Per day
Written
A hundred lines
Painfully
And slowly,
Like Dorodine.
As to me,
If is realized
Such a frenzy,
You would have to yourself
Earlier slashed your wrist.
Far better
Of vodka dying,
Than of boredom.
Don’t explain
To ourselves
The source of losses
Neither the hanging loop,
Nor the little knife.
May be,
Would have been
Some ink at the “England”,
Your veins
To cut
Would have been no reason.
Imitators rejoiced
Encore!
To himself
Not least a platoon
Has done justice.
So why
To increase
The number of suicides?
Better
Pushing up
The production of ink!
For ever
From now on
The tongue
Is sticking to the teeth.
Is heavy
And inopportune
To cultivate mysteries.
People,
Creator of language,
Has lost
A loud
Debauchee apprentice.
And are brought
Rudely tied up lines,
Out of previous
Funerals
Nearly without change.
On a hill
Dumb rhymes
With a stick to plant-
Should we
A poet
Respect in such a way?
At you
Still no memorial,
Where are,
The sound of bronze,
Or the grain of granite?
Already
Has been piled up
Of dedications
And souvenirs the trash.
Your first name
Blown up in handkerchiefs,
Your verb
Spluttered by Sobinov
Who expires
Under a puny birch-
“No more a word
O my fri- iend,
No more si-igh”.
Ah,
Having spoken in another way
To this
Leonide Lohengrid-whatever!
We should here burst
Into a loud scandal:
-I don’t bear
To chew verses
Nor to offend them!-
Should be stunt
Those people
By blowing three fingers whistle
To grand-mother
And god spirit should go mother!
For destroying
Untalented dirtiness
Inflating
With darkness
The sails of jackets,
For
In all directions
Exploded Kogan,
Those he meets
Mutilating
With moustaches’ spikes.
Rubbish
Right now
Has slowly faded.
Has done a lot
To only arrived at it.
We must
The life
First to rebuild,
In doing so-
We can celebrate.
That time-
Is uneasy to the pen,
But tell
You
Lame and cripple,
Where
When,
Who, to be great, chose
A lane,
That would be crowded
And minor?
Word-
Is marshal
To human forces.
March!
That age be
From behind
With cannonballs spread out.
Of old days
By the wind
Be blown away
A sole
Lock.
 
To be happy
Planet Earth
Is unfit.
We have to
Strip
Joy
Out of days to come.
In this life
To die
Is no difficulty.
Building future life
Far more difficult.
