An Evil God and a Rose

My small feelings
Make something grow violent
And I'm unable to hold back
The budding malice
 
'I want to see the end of your soul'
The evil god sweetly, kindly whispers
 
Unable to believe in each other
Now I wield a foolish power
It vividly dyed
This withered view
 
Since when did I forget
To think of someone else?
In this small world
We just destroy each other
 
There's no future overflowing with dreams
So I gave my body to the destruction created by an evil god
 
Unable to reject the color because of its cleanness
That flower bloomed
A wicked heart and rose
 
Unable to believe in each other
Now I wield a foolish power
The swaying world
Grieved for us
 
Before I know it, I'm wondering who I am
I forgot and don't know even now
The darkness that covers my broken self
Is laughing silently
 
Since when did I forget
To think of someone else?
My severed heart
Will never connected to another
 

RV 644 18. Recitativo: In my tent let it be served.

OLOFERNE
In my tent let it be
served a superb dinner.
Whatever swims in the Pontus,
or flyes in the sky, and whatever earth nourishes
shall not be hard to obtain.
Here, to our queen,
whom you, Vagaus, will serve,
be given the sweet gift of the Cretan Lyaeus.
 

Even If It's Just For A Moment

I want to walk around with the lights turned off
Without feeling that I have to pretend how I feel
I want to walk barefoot around the whole house
And cry away the pain here, in my room
 
Ignoring the calls from the people who save me
It's not that they won't relieve me of all of this pain
The silence is just what's needed sometimes
I want to be with me, today
 
Let me stay alone
Let life slam the door on my chest
And let me shatter, into pieces,
Everything that's protected me for so long
 
Let me cry the pain away and feel alive
When I'm finally dead
I'll only enjoy the summit if I live in the deep end
Even if it's just for a moment
 
Even if it's just for a moment
 
I chose my clothes with nobody in mind
This old shirt that's so stretched out
And I'm going from the sofa to my bed without showering
Today, I put my blame
 
I left a sign on the window
That said 'Closed for construction'
And even though I know everything will change tomorrow
I want to be with me today
 
Let me stay alone
Let life slam the door on my chest
And let me shatter, into pieces,
Everything that's protected me for so long
 
Let me cry the pain away and feel alive
When I'm finally dead
I'll only enjoy the summit if I live in the deep end
Even if it's just for a moment
 
Even if it's just for a moment
 
Today I want to have my tears set alight
Let the wound run through my life
No more looking after myself, no more cleaning
Let me fall because today, I want to lose
 
Let me stay alone
Let life slam the door on my chest
And let me shatter, into pieces,
Everything that's protected me for so long
 
Let me cry the pain away and feel alive
When I'm finally dead
I'll only enjoy the summit if I live in the deep end
Even if it's just for a moment
 
Even if it's just for a moment
 
Let me cry the pain away, let me me feel alive
 

Sleep

Oh life,
why
do you carry me in your journey
still,
why
drag along
my heavy sleep?
 
I know
that the purest fountains
dissolving throughout the earth
won’t return
to the soiled snow
its whiteness.
 
Neither will dawn
with tired magic
revive
among the black houses
the dead mimosas.
 
But alone
at evening’s frost
a flower seller will tremble
beside the fountain’s
uselessness.
 
Oh life,
why
does my desperate sleep
not weigh upon you?
 

Silver and Blue

Silver and blue and you arrive
like every night in my dreams.
You enter the room and then
the universe explodes around us.
 
Now you give me all of yourself,
the room revolves around me.
When I awaken you are
right there in front of my eyes.
 
Help me!
Help me!
Help me!
Help me!
In my mind, I see a thousand images.
I need to know which image you are.
 
Silver and blue, it's really you,
the light bulb shines up there.
Now I know you will stay
and, when I turn it off, you won't disappear.

So Much Into You

Your eyes that look at me
Twinkle like the stars
We’re under the dark sky
Your eyes and your smile resemble the stars
It makes my heart pound
 
Oh you’re so cozy
You feel so familiar for some reason
You’re special
Oh I can only see you
My heart is swaying
I think it’s broken
 
I like you so much
I like everything about you
You have a great heart and a great face
I’m so happy you’re by my side
 
I can hear the sound of your heart
When you look at me
Your cheeks get red, you act weird
It’s so cute, I’m dying
 
Oh I’m just blankly staring at you
I smile whenever I see you
You’re so sweet
Oh It’s like someone
pressed the pause button
Time has stopped
 
I like you so much
I like everything about you
You have a great heart and a great face
I’m so happy you’re by my side
 
oh~ beautiful tonight
oh starry starry starry tonight
oh I’ve fallen into your eyes
Fallen into the blue night
I’ve fallen into you
 
I like you so much
I like everything about you
You have a great heart and a great face
I’m so happy you’re by my side
I’m happy that you made me smile again
 

Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars

Your guitar and my songs,
This love at the horizon
Still conserving
all it's mysteries.
So much quietness for thinking
And time for dreaming.
From the room one can see the Corcovado.
 
Under the sun, as if nothing could change,
That you stay at my side,
Until every flame goes out.
 
I, who had been so sad,
Deceived by this world,
While livinging near you
I understood so well
How it is possible to be happy
 

As People

People deceive, people conceal, yet even still - even still, they laugh.
People run away, people place blame, yet even still - even still, they laugh.
 
I went and lied to you, then came to regret it.
It may be that I, too, was being fooled.
But rather than suspecting and exposing the one who lied,
and hurting them, I think it’s best to take the way of understanding.
 
Isn’t that so?
That I’ve no alternative but to keep believing?
That I’ve no alternative but to keep on loving?
Why do we point fingers at the failures ingrained in each other?
There’s no choice but to accept them, is there?
I’ve no choice but to keep on loving?
Being called an idiot.
You don’t want to become an uncool person, do you?
As people - as people, don’t we want to live coolly?
 
I lose my way, I grow troubled.
But I reject the thought of fleeing. I won’t stand shelving myself away.
I’m so exhausted, I feel so empty.
Yet even still, I don’t want to lay the blame on anyone.
That’s not cool. (That's not cool.)
 
Isn’t that so?
That I’ve no alternative but to keep believing?
That I’ve no alternative but to keep on loving?
I know. I know the one I most adore is me. Everyone’s that way.
Well, shall we laugh together, then?
 
Isn’t that so?
That I’ve no alternative but to keep believing?
That I’ve no alternative but to keep on loving?
Why do we point fingers at the failures ingrained in each other?
There’s no choice but to accept them, is there?
I’ve no choice but to keep on loving?
Being called an idiot.
You don’t want to become an uncool person, do you?
As people - as people, don’t we want to live coolly?
 

That he may set him

That he may set him
with the princes,
with the princes of his people.
He makes the barren woman
to keep house,
joyful mother of children.
 

Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Blessed be
the name of the Lord.
from this time forth
and for evermore.
 

Praise, o children, the Lord.

Praise, o children, the Lord:
praise the Lord's name,
praise the Lord,

Gloria

Glory to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
and now, and ever shall be,
and unto the ages of ages.
Amen.
 

The Lord excels

The Lord excels
over all peoples
and his glory
is above the heavens.
 

From sunrise.

From sunrise
to sunset,
the name of the Lord
is to be praised.
 

The Sun Has Gone Out

The sun has gone out in my heart for you.
There will no longer be another summer of love.
The days are cold nights for me
with neither more light nor warmth.
 
On the warm sea that led us to meet,
an icy wind brings pain to me.
The white moon that made us dream
has gone out like the golden sun.
 
Life dies in the shadows,
in the silence of many memories.
Even if the summer is over,
I love you still.
 
The sun has gone out and you turned it off
when another stole you from my heart.
I never want to fall in love again
and I will search for no one else.

On a tightrope

I remember you once wanted us to go up to heaven
But now with Hades and darkness I live every night
I remember you once said I'll always be your other half
What a lie, it wasn't meant to be
 
On a tightrope the heart
Balances again
And falls back into old mistakes
I want to see you because
 
All my nights are empty
This breakup left many scars inside of me
My life was left empty too
You became my breath
The definition of love
 
I want to see you because
 
I remember we once smiled and dreamt
Look at how it all changes, now you don't even care that we talk
I remember we once used to get drunk on just a simple kiss
Yesterday threatens me, I miss you so much
 
On a tightrope the heart
Balances again
And falls again into old mistakes
I want to see you because
 
All my nights are empty
This breakup left many scars inside of me
My life was left empty too
You became my breath
The definition of love
 

Still Living In Wonderful Day

I like it like this
I said to myself
As I turned around with a smile
That night we said goodbye
 
This is good enough
When tomorrow comes
I can walk with you again
 
Because we can look at the same sky
Because I can block the cold wind for you
I’m living overwhelming days
I like it like this
 
You held my shoulders without reserve
As you told me your dreams
So now I’m living as I dream of you
I like it like this
 
We’re laying down side by side
Underneath the spilling stars
As we talked, you peacefully fell asleep
I wonder if I’m in those closed eyes
Suddenly I got scared
At myself, slowly wanting you more
 
I like it like this
It’s so strange
Now I can’t even smile
I don’t want to just let you go today
 

We Want Hope

Out of prison yesterday, life begins now
Behind the bike 600 new white shoes
I'm not going back there because I'm not going to sleep there tonight.
And I think more about a Mercedes Benzo or a Range Rover
I'm going to win bad luck, I've lost all my brothers
It was part of the reckoning, it's not for us, but for the children
We want hope to live without this anxiety
When they come back from school, when they're down at the bar
And they put guns, drugs and related things in hands.
They land the trucks with the slag, and we bring them flowers too.
We all think so but no one says it
We have a question: but who judges those who judge?
It is today that tomorrow is built, it is logical that if you remain helpless
nothing changes, you've got cold feet like in winter
We watch from inside the binoculars these bastards as they play
Without the risk of going to jail just like in the monopolies
We want hope to live tomorrow
Hands up, this song is dedicated only to those who remain
I don't even know who I am if
My soul is torn apart
Every day here there is a massacre
 
Spread when you're not sleeping
I look you in the face when I hit you
I dope heavily when I get angry
Money from drugs lifts my dreams
Threats make you a man
Easy life doesn't make you rot, it melts you in acid
And sometimes I can't, sometimes I don't find peace
I want another perspective, active prosperity
I look at my son in the morning
Ready for another destiny
I'm a mastiff, but preserving is a punishment
Stirpe nova in the party, spreads you out
Instigates revolution in every person
I want well-being inside this toilet
I don't want to understand
Risks and risks well, the ugly only makes noise
Mourning swallows you, cancer exploits me and does not die
Hard face of the hope of those who have children in their belly
I can only look forward, behind falling into the void
 
We want hope to live tomorrow
Hands up, this song is dedicated only to those who remain
 
No more rows and rent prices
Give it to me shit, I said, as long as it's life
Things don't change and we scream
Only when trouble is touching us
The state is backing the ecoballs in our heads
You come down and get high like someone who doesn't know
Why don't you want to know? Brother, did you give up?
You have days like money in your pocket: they are counted
Garbage!
 

I'm lost

Tezzla
 
I've been lying on the street for months living with loneliness
Away from the world lost aimlessly
I don't know where you are
And now I can't now, give me one more beer
That if I'm not drunk, I start to remember you
And now I can't anymore, give me something to forget
I can't get you out
 
I'm lost in the nights
And time dying inside from so much taking
And your scent is not removed from my body
And here I am drinking because you are not
 
And for you drunk I go
I have a pet at home that now doesn't even know who I am
Now I don't even remember how much I drank
In the mirror I speak to a stranger
 
And now I don't know what to do
I'm going crazy
From bed to bed looking for you in every woman
And now I don't know what to do
I'm going crazy
From bed to bed looking for you in every woman (Woman)
 
I'm lost in the nights
And time dying inside from so much taking
And your scent is not removed from my body
And here I am drinking because you are not
 
Hallucinating way without your kisses
In every corner I invent that I have you
From your memory I am still a prisoner
And I can't get out
 
And now I don't know what to do
I'm going crazy
From bed to bed looking for you in every woman
And now I don't know what to do
I'm going crazy
From bed to bed looking for you in every woman
 
I'm lost in the nights
And time dying inside from so much taking
And your scent is not removed from my body
And here I am drinking because you are not
I'm lost in the nights
And time dying inside from so much taking
And your scent is not removed from my body
And here I am drinking because you are not
 

So many dances

[Marta Soto:]
Your eyes waiting in double file
The desire to cross me on your avenue
How silly that coincidence laugh
 
[Blas Cantó:]
I don't know if it was reality from your hand
Or Seville so pretty reflected in you
Reflected in you
 
[Marta Soto y Blas Cantó:]
That you unintentionally undressed
My most primary instincts
I have so many lives to still steal from your lips
We missed so much night, so early dawned
That I still have so many dances
For you to learn me, for you to leave
 
Be,be,be
 
[Blas Cantó:]
The night lights casting a shadow
Your shadow being light in that square
How stupid the first kiss we gave
 
[Marta Soto y Blas Cantó:]
I don't know if it was life that lives in your eyes
Or your eyes that looked
And gave life to me, to me
 
That you unintentionally undressed
My most primary instincts
 
I have so many lives to still steal from your lips
We missed so much night, so early dawned
That I still have so many dances
For you to learn me, for you to leave
 
Be,be,be
 
For you, for you to let yourself be
That you unintentionally undressed
My most primary instincts
 
I have so many lives to still steal from your lips
We missed so much night, so early dawned
That I still have so many dances
For you to learn me, for you to leave
 
Be,be,be
 

Ossanha's Chant

Hail, Xangô, my Lord King
Hail, my orixá
There are seven colors that are yours
Seven days for us to love
 
Hail, Xangô, my Lord King
Hail, my orixá
There are seven colors that are yours
Seven days for us to love
 
The one who says 'I give' doesn't give
Because those who give don't talk about it
The one who says 'I go' doesn't go
Because when they went, they didn't want to
The one who says 'I am' is not
Because those who really are say 'I'm not'
The one who says 'I'm there' isn't there
Because no one's there when they want to be
Poor man who falls
for Ossanha's misleading chant
Poor man who falls
Behind the witchcraft of love
 
Go, go, go, go, I won't go
Go, go, go, go, I won't go
Go, go, go, go, I won't go
Go, go, go, go, I won't go
Go, go, go, go, I won't go
I won't go
I won't go
 
The one who says 'I give' doesn't give
Because those who give don't talk about it
The one who says 'I go' doesn't go
Because when they went, they didn't want to
The one who says 'I am' is not
Because those who really are say 'I'm not'
The one who says 'I'm there' isn't there
Because no one's there when they want to be
 
Hail, Xangô, my Lord King
Hail, my orixá
There are seven colors that are yours
Seven days for us to love
 

To Follow Your Lips

When I once forget to tell you 'I love you'
You should know it won't be my fault
When my lips once forget you,
I will not be alive then
 
So don't let go of me, don't let go of me
Just hold me hard
Don't let go of me, stay beside me...
If only, if only it could like this forever
Forever like this, my love...
 
To follow your lips, to be worthy by your side
To give myself completely because I belong to you
To love you the way I know how, forever...
To follow your lips cause I am fading without you
To give myself completely because I belong to you
To love you the way I know how, forever...
 
Don't let our souls remain empty
Cause a love like this is what everyone dreams of
Don't let our words one day become
Just broken promises
 
So don't let go of me, don't let go of me
Just hold me hard
Don't let go of me, stay beside me...
If only, if only it could like this forever
Forever like this, my love...
To follow your lips, to be worthy by your side
To give myself completely because I belong to you
To love you the way I know how, forever...
To follow your lips cause I am fading without you
To give myself completely because I belong to you
To love you the way I know how, forever...
 
When I once forget to tell you 'I love you'
You should know it won't be your fault

Last Ambient

Cloud of fogs wander under the crescent moon
In the silence, the light gradually dawns upon the labyrinth of only night
 
The memory of the scene which commotion started to break the silence is projected onto my eyes
Just eager to understand the meaning of breath,
 
Just to helplessly process every day that had passed in vain
Countless thoughts of wanting to escape from this come to my mind
As I self-loathe the chaos in this head that had been pried open
 
The sky is soaring high and solitary, the serene blue had inadvertently taken away my breath
With nowhere to go but to pursue the star trails
If a place with downpour is where I return
Then nothing has changed at all since the past
 
Like a fugitive who had fallen into the abyss, silently count to three and hide my breath alone
What can I perceive is like an unimaginable light mixed with the note of sound on my doomsday
Everything was blurry and nothing can be seen under the dim lights in the sky at sunrise
Once again, ahh, might as well I just drown myself in the sea of memories
 
Shut-out and seal away, as if unknowingly imitating someone, tracing the withered cheek with my fingertips
I burst into tears to the point where I was broken
If the roaring blaze can be consumed and eventually turn into ashes
Then there is no way to engulf the endless loneliness
 
The window reflected my worn-out body
And my heart is struggling to get over those days that I had lost
Once, on the very star that I had my wish upon reflected your image that brings me faint warmth
 
The heavy rain poured down and the wound healed slowly
I began to tremble as the hopes slip through my clenched fists
The ideal haven that we aim at
Just like this, always envisaging at the very same dream
 
The sky is soaring high and solitary, the serene blue had inadvertently taken away my breath
With nowhere to go but to pursue the star trails
If a place with downpour is where I return
Then nothing has changed at all since the past
 
It is too difficult to keep things as it was, and we always fear for those that are unbeknownst to us
As if the moon is swaying, those flowing time that we passed, those drifting years that we spent, ahh
The fleeting reverberation somehow becomes lasting
There, my imagination is this so-called reality
 

Pop Love

For all that I did and said about you
kilometres of forgiveness wouldn’t be enough,
I start the journey and wait for you.
 
That then, let’s talk clearly, I, without your eyes
am a poor Christ who’s looking for his cross.
I wish I could exchange them with mine.
 
I miss you that I almost hate you
and then I hate that I almost miss you
but, in the meantime, I miss you
and today perhaps even a bit more.
 
And I’ll find that I need you
while I’m already looking for you for a while,
we’ll be like two lovers in a movie
that, regardless, ends well.
 
I smell the scent of your words,
they taste of oranges and southern sea.
We, who do not go for pop love,
that doesn’t let us be well.
 
For all that I feel, that I think about you
a literature per month wouldn’t be enough
but, in the meantime, I’m starting to write, to write.
 
Because, let’s face it, without your mouth,
I’m empty and feel almost useless
like the “r” in a Marlboro.
 
I miss you that I almost hate you
and then I hate that I almost miss you
but, in the meantime, I miss you
and today perhaps even a bit more
 
I’ll hang our gazes in the Louvre
so that someone will steal them
and then we’ll find them in a bar
sitting at a table.
 
I smell the scent of your words,
they taste of oranges and southern sea.
We, who do not go for pop love,
that doesn’t let us be well,
that doesn’t let us be.
 
We are like dust in the darkness
that, if you don’t see it, it nevertheless is there.
 
And I’ll find that I need you
while I’m already looking for you for a while.
We, who do not go for pop love,
that doesn’t let us be well,
that doesn’t let us be well,
that doesn’t let us be well,
that doesn’t let us be.
 

Together

Versions: #1
Landing in a dream
I navigate life
Today I gift myself a new day
Yes, yes the moon always guides me
 
I don’t always understand the present
But I look for a way out
Better to be injured than absent
Better to dream than to go in a limb
Life is better when you feel
 
If you look at me, I know you are trying to decipher me
If I look at you I will do the same
You know very well, that this road is like an open book
 
And if today is
The last day of my life
Life of mine, I will give it all
Let’s be one, let’s go around the world
There is nothing we can’t do together
 
We go through this road
Following only the horizon
I carry in my eyes melancholy
Yes yes, the moon always guides me
 
I know you have another life
I have mine
We all have in life
Open wounds
Sometimes we go through life
Looking for ways out
Better to dream that to go in a limb
Life is better when you feel
 
And if today is
the last day of my life
Life of mine, I will give it all
Let’s be one, let’s go around the world
There is nothing we can’t do together
 
You give light to my life
When you look at me, you illuminate me
For the rest of my days
There will be no cuts because you heal my life
 

Come on, help us make the sun rise up

Come on, help us make the sun rise up, all over Greece
Come on, help us make the sun rise up, all over the world
See, it's wheels are stuck deep into the mud
And see, it's wheels are stuck deep into blood
Come on, guys, the sun won't rise on itself
Push with your knees and chests so we can take it out of the mud
Push with your knees and chests so we can take it out of the blood
We touch on it my same-blooded brothers
Come on, brothers, and it used to save us with it's fire
Come on, come on, it's flame wrapped us up my brothers
 

Out of Love For My Mother

Out of love for my mother,
I'm going to stop partying.
Even if they call me a coward,
I don't care about anything else.
 
My little mother, crying,
tells me to stop drinking.
That life is running out
and she fears being abandoned.
 
Goodbye, bottle of wine,
goodbye, jolly women,
goodbye to all of my friends,
to false lovers too.1
 
Out of love for my mother,
I'll make whatever sacrifice.
Before it's too late,
I'm going to rid myself of my vice.
 
I know I'm not a nobody
because my mother's still alive.
If not, in this instant I'd be
like a feather in the air.2
 
Goodbye, bottle of wine,
goodbye, jolly women,
goodbye to all of my friends,
to false lovers too.

One hundred bells

Don't tell me tonight
to whom you have bewitched the heart,
the truth hurts,
leave me this vision to hope ...
 
Ding-dong, ding-dong 1, love
a hundred bells are saying no
but you, but you my love,
if you've left me again, don't say so.
 
No, don't say it, don't talk
are you a woman or a witch, who knows?
I have one hope left, the hope of what I was.
 
Ding-dong, ding-dong, love
even the witches told me no
but you, but you my love,
if you enchanted me, tell me yes.
 

• 1. 'Ding-dong' is the sound of bells.

Innamoramento

Versions: #1
You who did not recognize me
Ignorant of my life, this monastery, I have
In front of me a door, half opened
On a maybe
Even if I have to start all over
 
You who did not believe my solitude
Ignored its cries, its harsh angles. I have
In my heart a minuscule thread
A lunar filament
That holds onto a diamond, being worn away...
But that loves
 
I didn't choose this
But it is here, the 'innamoramento'
Love and death maybe
But I would suspend time for one word
Everything swells and yields
And it is here, the 'innamoramento'
All of its being is imposed upon us
Perhaps we will finally find its echo
 
You who have not seen the other side of....
The condemned doors of my memory, I have
Fled from everything, the treasures of the past
Those wounded years
Do you understand I will have to stop?
 
I no longer look to heaven, I have
In front of me a half opened door, but
The unknown has bruised more than one heart
And its soul mate
We hope for it, wait for it, we even flee it
But we love
 

RV 630, 2. By tempting look. 3. The serpent hisses.

2. Recitative.
By tempting look this world deceives the eye,
but pierces hearts by hidden wounds.
Let us flee him who smiles, shun him who follows us,
for by skilfully displaying its pleasures, this world
overwhelms us by deceit.
 
3. Air.
The serpent hisses
among blossoms and colours,
uncoils itself and conceals the gall,
But after a furtive kiss,
a man maddened by love
often licks it like honey.
