Ghostin-ARINA GRANDE

I know you hear me when I cry
I try to hold it in the night
While you're sleepin' next to me
But it's your arms that I need this time (This time)
Look at the cards that we've been dealt
If you were anybody else
Probably wouldn't last a day
Every tear's a rain parade from hell (From hell)
Baby, you do it so well
You been so understanding, you been so good
And I'm puttin' you through more than one ever should
And I'm hating myself 'cause you don't want to
Admit that it hurts you
I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again
Over him, mmh
I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again
'Stead of ghostin' him
We'll get through this, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with
A whole lot of baggage
But I love you, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with
A whole lot of baggage, yeah
Though I wish he were here instead
Don't want that living in your head
He just comes to visit me
When I'm dreaming every now and then (And then)
And after all that we been through (And after all that we been through)
There's so much to look forward to
What was done and what was said
Leave it all here in this bed with you (With you)
Baby, you do it so well
You been so understanding, you been so good
And I'm puttin' you through more than one ever should
And I'm hating myself 'cause you don't want to
Admit that it hurts you, baby
I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again
Over him, mmh
I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again
'Stead of ghostin' him
We'll get through this, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with
A whole lot of baggage
But I love you, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with
A whole lot of baggage, yeah
 

Isn't love a hap...?

What should I love you for, my dear,
When you look into other eyes?
What should I kiss you for, darling,
When you bring your lips toward another?
What should I kiss you for, darling,
When you bring your lips toward another?
 
(Refrain)
Isn't love a hap
Which brings burning hearts together?
Is love not a flame
Which joins hearts -and splits them asunder?
(×2)
 
I just gave you a look,
And wished you well,
And forever set aside the notion
That I had once been your love.
And forever set aside the notion
That I had once been your love.
 
(Refrain)
Isn't love a hap
Which brings burning hearts together?
Is love not a flame
Which joins hearts -and splits them asunder?
(×2)
 
She's gone off with another, but what for?
This, I shall never know.
Well, must it always be so,
That one person suffers over another?
Well, must it always be so,
That one person suffers over another?
 
(Refrain)
Isn't love a hap
Which brings burning hearts together?
Is love not a flame
Which joins hearts -and splits them asunder?

Four tall birches...

Four tall birches
Stand in my garden:
Equity
Probity
Liberty
Truth.
Who plays hide and seek?
Life, death, the wind, a cat.
Who wins?
Each in turn.
 

The grand father

A head full of dreams
Stars in the eyes
Like a day of celebration
Everybody is happy
He says goodbye to the country
Without ever returning, ever
Leaving behind him
The one he loved
 
He took to the sea
To give himself the right to dream
He took to the sea
Leaving everything he loved
 
He arrived there
With the desire to succeed
To send happiness to mom, smiles
And if in the end
It is harder to live
Far from your people
Never, never, I swear
Did he complain
 
He took to the sea
To give himself the right to dream
He took to the sea
Leaving everything he loved
 

A lass went picking flowers

A lass went picking flowers,
She wanted to make me a present.
Hey, hey, lassie, eh, the prettiest of flowers!
Hey, hey, lassie, eh, the prettiest of flowers!
 
She picked a carnation,
And then she gave it to me as a gift.
Hey, hey, lassie, eh, carnation of mine!
Hey, hey, lassie, eh, carnation of mine!
 
And I, a lad, didn't know
What to give her in return.
Hey, hey, lassie, eh, I've fallen in love with you!
Hey, hey, lassie, eh, I've fallen in love with you!
 
So then, with no chagrin, I produced
A gold ring from my hand...
Hey, hey, lassie, eh, wait faithfully for me!
Hey, hey, lassie, eh, wait faithfully for me!
 

Almost happy

Friday night, end of the week
I get drunk by myself, getting in and out of bed
I think I ate too much and that I'm almost happy
 
I turn on the TV, but put it on mute
I make impossible plans that come to naught
I'll cancel them later, it's ordinary for me
 
A part of me, of me, of me, of me
A part of me
Is not quite happy
 
Almost happy, happy, happy, happy, happy
Almost happy
Is not enough for me
 
The eternal contradiction of the human race
The parody of civilization
Can make me cry,
but I rather laugh
 
I'm halfway through my life and I want
The sun to rise and wake me up in the morning
If it rises for me, it will also rise for you
 
A part of me, of me, of me, of me
A part of me
Is not quite happy
 
Almost happy, happy, happy, happy, happy
Almost happy
Is not enough for me
 
Almost happy, happy
Almost happy, happy.
 

For one hour of joy

For one hour of joy, a thousand days, a thousand days...
For one hour of joy, a thousand days of sorrow!
 
For one look of your eye, I'd give my life, I'd give my life...
For one look of your eye, dear, I would give my life!
 
(Chorus)
You are, my Milka, mine!
You are, my Milka, mine!
You are, my Milka, mine!
I am yours!
 
Without you, my sweetheart, I cannot live, I cannot live...
Without you, my sweetheart, I cannot live, I'm bound to die!
 
Were you a fragrant flower, I would pick you, I would pick you...
Were you a beautiful flower, I would pick you joyfully!
 
(Chorus)
You are, my Milka, mine!
You are, my Milka, mine!
You are, my Milka, mine!
I am yours!
 

Bring some wine, alewife

Bring some wine, alewife,
As red as your face,
Let me drink, that I may drown my sorrows,
My heart hurts, it wants to burn away.
Let me drink, that I may drown my sorrows,
My heart hurts, it wants to burn away.
 
Oh, God, God, why did you create her?
-To torture and rack young blokes.
The whole village has fallen for her,
And everyone is drinking to drown their sorrows!
The whole village has fallen for her,
And everyone is drinking to drown their sorrows!
 

My heart craves for you

My heart craves for you,
And that yearning often burns.
What else can I offer you
Of my heart and life?
What else can I offer you
Of my heart and life?
 
Gone are the ancient memories,
I haven't known happiness with you,
But believe me, dear, the time will come
When your every dream comes true.
But believe me, dear, the time will come
When your every dream will come true.
 
Without you, life has no charm,
Where you are absent, all is in darkness.
Therefore don't let your heart be in pain,
But come to he who loves you.
Therefore don't let your heart be in pain,
But come to he who loves you!
 

Rain memorandum

When you lit on the faint lights
Tired of waiting for me not returning
The thin letters carving a 'goodbye'
Will float in the room
The name of a far city
That you talked about
Shakes brilliant
Before my eyes
 
If the wind becomes rain in my cheeks
A cruel heart will get lost
But one day I'll dream without you
I was yearning for the night
 
When you search for my whereabouts
Without finding my address
Blowing a kiss to our picture
I'll lean on the bus seat
For the first time I had a fight
And I remember the reasons
You since that day
To someone important...
 
If the wind becomes rain in my cheeks
I don't know why my eyes ache
But I hope the time comes when
A memorandum left in my chest fades away
 
If the wind becomes rain in my cheeks
A cruel heart will get lost
But one day I'll dream without you
I was yearning for the night
 

The woman who defeated me

I thought my way was better, with an unloved soul
I flew crazily and fell without dreams, until you came
I wanted to teach you how to leave without caring
I wanted to forget your childish face, but it's as if I can't get rid of it
 
I can't fight with you, love
Your heat breaks my weapons
And my mind says no
But my soul already knows that you
 
You are the woman who defeated me
Sweet compromise of the soul
I promise to love you in my dreams now, too
You are the woman who defeated me
 
I wanted to let you leave me, on wandering paths
And I sought to remain the way I was, with unfulfilled thoughts
I fought against myself, I thought that you're just a lie
I didn't want to want you until you brought my heart to the moon
 
I can't fight with you, love
Your heat breaks my weapons
And my mind says no
But my soul already knows that you
 
You are the woman who defeated me
Sweet compromise of the soul
I promise to love you in my dreams now, too
You are the woman who defeated me
 
Too much love, it'll surely kill you, boy
The voice within me told me, keep your heart closed off
I don't know how you knew to put a piece of heaven inside of me
You, without weapons, disarmed the heart of a man

(Yam! Bam!)
(My cat 'Splash')
rests on my bed
has eaten her language
By drinking (tronc=trunk but this could be a sound, too) my whisky
concerning me
slept little, exhausted, teased
I have had to sleep in the gutter
Where I've had a flash
Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!
In four colours
 
Come on!
One morning
A darling (oruppy) came toward me
Doll (or: female) from cellophane
chinese hair
a patch
A snout of wood
has drunken my beer
In a big glass
of caoutchouc
Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!
Like an Indian in his iglu
 
It slides for me
It slides for me
It slides for me me me me me
It slides for me
Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!
It slides for me
 
Come on! The girl
what a foot!
What a vibration!
Of sending itself
To the floor mat
Rasped, ruined, exhausted, satisfied
'You are the king of the divan!'
That's what she said to me while passing by
Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!
I am the King of the divan
 
It slides for me
It slides for me
It slides for me me me me me
It slides for me
Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!
It slides for me
 
Come on!
Get busy
alarm yourself
Don't touch my planet
It's not today
That the sky falls on my head
And that I will miss the alcohol
Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!
It slides for me
 
Come on! My girl
has streched herself
has closed herself
Finally it's enough of hiding everything
the sink, the bar leave me alone
like a big idiot
Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!
The foot in the plate

Barát

(Verse1)
Egy kibaszott katasztrófa vagyok
Nem akarok túl sok lenni
De nem akarom hiányolni az érintésed
És úgy látom, te ezt leszarod
Nem akarlak megvárakoztatni
De csak azt teszem, amit tennem kell
És talán nem én vagyok az igazi számodra
De nem lesz szerelmed
 
(Pre chorus)
Mert tudom hogy olyan bonyolultak vagyunk
De olyan kuszák vagyok, ez őrültség
Nem kaphatom meg amit akarok, de te sem
 
(Chorus)
Nem vagy a barátom
(Barátom)
És én sem vagyok a barátnőd
(Barátnőd)
De nem akarod hogy mást lássak
És én sem akarom hogy mást láss
De nem vagy a barátom
(Barátom)
És én sem vagyok a barátnőd
(Barátnőd)
De nem akarod hogy máshoz érjek
Baby, nem mondjuk el senkinek
 
(Verse2)
Még ha nem is vagy az enyém, esküszöm, ahogy veszekszünk
Olyan érzést kelt bennem mintha szerelmesek lennénk
Mert baby, mikor a húzásból ellökés lesz
Basszus, baby, én is egy katasztrófa vagyok
Elvesztem az eszem, mikor rólad van szó
Időt szánok arra, akit választok
És nem akarok mosolyogni, ha az nem miattad van
 
(Pre chorus)
Tudom, hogy olyan bonyolultak vagyunk
Szeretni téged sokszor az őrületbe kerget
Mert nem kaphatom meg amit akarok, de te sem
 
(Chorus)
Nem vagy a barátom
(Barátom)
És én sem vagyok a barátnőd
(Barátnőd)
De nem akarod hogy mást lássak
És én sem akarom hogy mást láss
De nem vagy a barátom

De nem akarod hogy máshoz érjek
Baby, nem mondjuk el senkinek
 
(Bridge)
Meg akarlak csókolni, nem akarlak hiányolni
De nem lehetek veled mert vannak fenntartásaim
Igen, a felszínen úgy néz ki, mintha könnyű lenne
Óvatos vagyok a szavakkal, de így is nehéz engem leolvasni
A stressz magas, mikor kevéssé bízunk
Rossz hangulat, hova tűnt a móka?
Próbálj megnyílni és jobban szeretni
Próbálj megnyílni és jobban szeretni
Ha a barátom lennél
És te meg a baratnőm
Biztos hogy nem néznék másra
De ezt nem garantálhatom magam
 
(Chorus)
Nem vagy a barátom
(Barátom)
És én sem vagyok a barátnőd
(Barátnőd)
De nem akarod hogy mást lássak
És én sem akarom hogy mást láss
De nem vagy a barátom

De nem akarod hogy máshoz érjek hozzá
Baby, nem mondjuk el senkinek
 

Mind Brand

Prepare your ass
 
***
 
Hey, wait, miss that appeared outta nowhere
And can’t keep her legs shut,
You have no more shame
Than the hole in your crotch has.
You really think you have more decency
Compared to everyone else?
Use your only grain of brain,
Who will believe in such a fad!
 
Hey, wait, our brave hero, lemme figure out
What kind of freak are you?
You’re always thinking with your manhood,
Not with your head at all,
You’ve dishonored a girl
And promised a star from the sky
And then, just like a scum,
Got away into the fog while no one was looking…
 
“Let's split up, or else
A rumor about us will instantly go around”
Under the sympathetic grimace,
There’s a vile sarcasm hiding.
Hypocritical ridicule,
As it seems, I’m already sick of it.
And, for us, with no other options,
Hell has been opened with welcomes long ago…
The cauldron is already boiling!
 
And, somewhere in the earth,
Down there in its depths,
Having buried his happiness forever,
There’s a fair knight crying
Since the battle is lost.
 
The heat of being close
And the fire of fighting
Have burned all our love
Leaving no trace!
Maybe, if I forget about it,
I’ll be able to find peace?
 
Prepare your ass
 
***
 
All the skin is covered with scars
Just like an unlucky soldier –
Oh, my dear, you’ll certainly
Be glad about this pain.
Or you gotta be stubborn again
And hurry to object me?
You’re too young to open your mouth
And know nothing of life!
 
What are we gonna do now?
“We need to blend in.”
You find our conversation unpleasant?
“Stay out of sight from now on.”
Who messed the directions up?
“Here’s the lost soul.”
We’re the steps to the future,
Our lives are worth no penny –
We should’ve understood it long ago.
 
And, wrapping her fears
Into bright silks,
Her happiness
Is being torn into pieces…
And the heroine is loudly crying,
Having misquoted her own scenario.
 
My feelings
Have found no shelter,
And the heart
Won’t respond to them…
Maybe, if I forget about it,
I’ll be able to find peace?
 
***
 
I’m putting on a brave face, but my deceit is revealed again,
I’ll pretend, but my old wounds are bleeding,
They can’t be hidden, can’t be patched up anymore…
“This is painful, and I have no more strength to stand it!”
 
Even though, day by day,
We’ve been together,
Our happiness
Is just a glimpse…
And these happy memories
Make me sad!
 
Oh, how you hugged me
And kissed me
With a smile on your wonderful face,
I just want
To forget it
Forever!

Her Great Love

My best friend—that's the way it goes—
told me last night that she came to see me
to tell me that she finally has fallen in love.
She told me the name of her great love.
 
She spoke to me and I listened carefully to her.
She said she was very much loved by him—
that they were in love madly and hopelessly.
She told me the name of her great love.
 
For my part, I had tears in my eyes when she spoke.
She left me by saying adieu
and I still hear the words that she said to me,
but I can only cry for her.
 
Because the other day, that gentleman,
I was the one in his arms.
He swore to me that I was his only love.
I knew the name of her great love.
 
For my part, I had tears in my eyes when she spoke.
She left me by saying adieu
and I still hear the words that she said to me,
but I can only cry for her.
 
Because the other day, in his arms,
he swore to me a hundred times, that gentleman,
that I was his only love.
I knew the name of her great love—
and it was the same one who said to me 'I love you' —
and it was the same one who said to me 'I love you' —
and it was the same one who said to me 'I love you'...
 

No one is like you

You're still here somehow
Still with me
After all these years, you follow my in my dream
I still don't want you to go
Why, why, why* should I believe you?
 
I don't ever want to lose my head* again
I don't ever want to risk my heart again
I never want to feel such pain again
Because of you
I never want to be alone again
I never want to be so lonely again
Never again suffer so terribly
Because of you
But no one is like you
I finally admit it
 
What would have become of us
A house, a child, a dog
Sometimes I start to fantasise
We ruined it ourselves
The big dream of happiness
You know that I still miss you
 
I don't ever want to lose my head* again
I don't ever want to risk my heart again
I never want to feel such pain again
Because of you
I never want to be alone again
I never want to be so lonely again
Never again suffer so terribly
Because of you
But no one is like you
I finally admit it
 
There are others
More interesting
But no one is like you
 
I don't ever want to lose my head* again
I don't ever want to risk my heart again
I never want to feel such pain again
Because of you
I never want to be alone again
I never want to be so lonely again
Never again suffer so terribly
Because of you
But no one is like you
I finally admit it
 

Stories to lull adults to sleep

The story that history doesn't tell
The flip side of the same place
The struggle we find ourselves in
 
Brazil, my baby
Mangueira has arrived
With verses that the books have erased

There's inky blood, bruising
Behind the venerated heroes
Women, Tamoios6, Mulattos
I want a country that is not in the picture frame
 
Brazil, your name is Dandara7
And your face is Kiriri8
It didn't come from the sky
Nor from the hands of Isabel9
Liberty is a dragon of the waters of Aracati10

Who were steel in the years of iron12
Brazil, it's time
To hear the Marias13, Mahins14, Marielles15, Malês16

You're killing the crowd of boys around
Take care, baby, when keeping your eyes on someone
Slowly slowly slowly slowly
Slowly slowly, dance slowly
You're killing the crowd of boys around
 
[Outro Bridge: Pitbull]
They sing to me about the way she dances
They sing to me about the way she moves
Sexy sexy sexy
Sexy sexy sexy
They sing to me about the way she dances
They sing to me about the way she moves
Sexy sexy sexy
Sexy sexy sexy
 

There are Bigger Things

There are bigger things than us—
things that are worth more than the two of us.
And, with time, you too will see
that these loves never last.
But remember always
that I have loved you,
and, even if I leave you,
I suffer more than you.
 
Now it is difficult and sad, I know.
The hours will be long for us.
Every season ends and departs.
Staying far apart will help us.
You try to understand.
Do not look at me like that.
You don't need to cling to me.

Grown-Up, Grown-Up, Grown-Up

I will have to fight with you.
You cannot take it the way you are.
Your faults are so many
that you have no idea what they are.
 
You are worse than a capricious child.
You always want to win.
You are the most selfish and bossy woman
that I have ever known.
 
But if there is an up-side, it is that the right moment
you can turn into someone else.
In a jiffy, you
are grown-up, grown-up, grown-up—
I forget all of my hurt.
 
I find that all of my friends
are quieter than me.
They don't feel the need to discuss everything
the way you make me do.
 
They receive the usual necktie
on their birthday.
They always say yes.
They never have problems and are convinced
that life is complete.
 
But no—but no—
my life is just what you give to me.
Every day that I am at war—
that's the way you like it.
 
I hate you, then I love you,
then I love you, then I hate you,
then I love you.
 
Never leave me again
You are grown-up, grown-up, grown-up—
how you are grown-up, only you.
 
I hate you, then I love you,
then I love you, then I hate you,
then I love you.
 
Never leave me again
You are grown-up, grown-up, grown-up—
how you are grown-up, only you.
 

Crazy Heart

A crazy heart that still follows you
and day and night thinks only of you.
And I can never make him understand
that you love someone else and not me.
 
A crazy heart, crazy to latch on,
that still believes you think of me.
He is not convinced that you left—
that you left me and will not return.
 
Tell him the truth—(tell him the truth)—the truth.
And perhaps he will understand—(perhaps understand)—will understand
because you never before told the truth.
(da-da-da-dah!)
 
A crazy heart that loves you
and forgives you for everything you do.
But sooner or later you know that he will heal,
and you will lose him—thus you will lose him.

Big Party

I'm still going to win the Festival1
With a song of macramé2
I will appear on a newspaper cover
Flaunting an alligator
 
I hope your mouth drops to the floor
'Cause I'm ready for the big party
And you with a cigar and wearing a robe
With a harpoon sticked to your forehead
 
I still hope to be a hurricane3
To have a waist of a ballet dancer
Dragging my jewels on the floor
Waving from a chaffeured Porsche
 
I hope your mouth drops to the floor
'Cause I'm ready for the big party
And you with a cigar and wearing a robe
With a harpoon sticked to your forehead
 
I still hope to have something carnal
In my chalet's armchair
To kill this cannibal hunger
'Cause I'm so tired of coffee
 
I hope your mouth drops to the floor
'Cause I'm ready for the big party
And you with a cigar and wearing a robe
With a harpoon sticked to your forehead
(x2)
 
'Cause I'm ready for the big party

Sing for us

Friday is a day to wet the feet
To lay in the hammock, [with] the blanket on the body and no stress
And let the wind refresh
I play guitar for us to rest
 
While we clap our hands, always calm, my love
Let's wash our souls
Today I'm not gonna have insomnia
Your smile sets me free from Babylon
 
[Let's] sing in one single voice
 
La-da-yah, la-da-yeh
In one single voice, sing for us
 
Friday is a day to wet the feet

Today I'm not gonna have insomnia
Your smile sets me free from Babylon
 
[Let's] sing in one single voice
And if I make a mistake, sing for us

Go To Work

I remember I was still a kid,
but I was already working like a man.
This was my song:
 
Certainly the earth takes effort,
ever more, always more
Certainly the earth is like a woman,
every season, the skirt changes.
Yellow in summer—
ripe wheat.
Red in autumn—
fermented wine.
It is olive green
when winter comes.
In spring, it dresses itself.
 
I go to work,
but tonight what do you do?
A woman who has it?
La la la la la la la
I go to work,
but where does my heart go?
Look for a flower that does not have it—
and if it is a rose, let it pick me.
 
Summer came and I caught the rose.
Long live the bridegroom! Long live the bride!
The more the nights pass, the more I am in love—
but when it is day, I work twice as much—
work in the sun,
work in the wind,
we leave at dawn,
we return at sunset—
but under the moon and the clear sky,
I lay on the hay—with you darling.
 
I go to work,
but, if I were born a king,
I would party with you
la la la la la la la la
 
I go to work—
I am worn out but so what?
At night, she doesn't know it.
la la la la la la la
I go to work,
but, if I were born a king,
I would party with you.
la la la la la la la la
 
I go to work,
outside it's cold, but so what?
There is someone who will keep me warm.
 

Tenderly, Anne Marie

Anne Marie, tonight you are with me
and the past already no longer exists—
images that now
no longer remain for us.
 
Tenderly, tonight I will dream
about my new life together with you—
but now, love, no,
tell me nothing more.
It is enough for me to imagine the words you will say.
 
And how,
like the first time, you know,
I do not ask you what we are about anymore.
It is enough to just have you here.
But kiss me on the eyes
and tell me good night
so that I can dream.
 
Anne Marie, tonight I will dream
about my new life together with you—
but now love, no,
tell me nothing more.
It is enough for me to imagine the words you will say.
 
It is enough for me just to have you here.
If I close my eyes, touched by your kisses,
I no longer want to think—
I want to fall asleep.
 
Tenderly, love.
 
Anne Marie, love.
 

Ave Maria

Ave Maria! Virgin of heaven—
Queen of gratitude and pious mother—
who always answers the fervent prayer.
Do not refuse this, my broken heart.
Give respite to its sorrow!
My lost soul appeals to you—
and, full of hope, prostrates itself at your feet.
It invokes you and waits for you to give it
the peace that only you can give.
Ave Maria!
 

On My Knees for You

Versions: #2
I want for myself your caresses—
yes, I love you more than my life!
I will come back to you on my knees.
Your other lover is
no one and nothing to me.
Now I know that
I have made a mistake with you.
I will come back to you on my knees—
and I will kiss your hands, love.
In your eyes
that have cried for me,
I will search
for forgiveness from you—
and I will kiss your hand, love.
I want for myself your caresses.
Yes, I love you more than my life.
I want for myself your caresses.
 

A Girl Named Mary Rose

I was speeding on a motorcycle on a Monday.
The cold wind ripped into me.
In every street, she was there.
She flagged me down and I stopped.
 
My lights reflected in her eyes
and her hair was the color of yellow wheat.
(Her hair was the color of yellow wheat.)
She was dressed in colorful clothes.
In the meadows together, we picked flowers.
(In the meadows together, we picked flowers.)
 
A girl named Mary Rose—
grass and wheat—
hair blowing loose in the wind.
With my eyes closed, I think of her
and I no longer forget—I don't know.
Now I know that we die alone.
How love hurts!
Mary Rose, how it hurts!
 
The setting sun, the sky fades,
the cold ride back to return.
Distant lights of the city.
Mary Rose, where will she be?
 
The motorcycle still warm in the garage.
Without eating, I throw myself in bed.
(Immediately I throw myself in bed.)
In the dark I see her colorful clothes.
In the meadows together, we picked flowers.
(In the meadows together, we picked flowers.)
 
A girl named Mary Rose—
grass and wheat—
hair blowing loose in the wind.
With my eyes closed, I think of her
and I no longer forget—I don't know.
Now I know that we die alone.
How love hurts!
Mary Rose, how it hurts!
 
With my eyes closed, I think of you,
Mary Rose!
To forget— I don't know.
Now I know that we die alone.
How love hurts!
How it hurts, Mary Rose!
 

Princess

Princess, princess—
there is woe in your face.
You are sick with sadness.
Everyone wonders why.
In your emerald eyes,
the smile is almost extinguished.
The dawn of each new day
makes your face grow more pale.
 
Princess, princess—
I know what your malady is.
Only with love
can you drive it away.
All you need do is run in the grass
and see that there
is a boy in love
who will give his heart to you.
 
Princess, do not recall
how your heart was beating
when I taught you the game of love.
Caresses, words—
they made you go mad—
you have come back many times at nightfall.
 
Princess. princess—
there is joy in your face.
You healed so quickly.
You healed more than me.
But why lower your eyes
to respond to my bow
when you come into the fields
with your neighbor, the prince.
