A Better Place

Another teardrop falls
A river on the wall
Disappears into the China Blue
An everlasting kiss is burning on my lips
In my ritual of love for you
 
But oh it’s so easy to fall
so easy to lose our way
And darkness will follow
Baby i know there’s something to guide us
 
In my mind there is a place
Which listens without speaking
You know where it is
In front of the heart full of passion
(I look for you)
You look for yourself incessantly.
Oh it’s easy to live, locked in solitude
So easy.
Without love, without destiny.
I will carry on if you are with me
 
If we reach beyond the moon
Deeper than the sea
And brighter that the sun
There’s a better place to be
It’s older than the stars
But newer than today
 
It will carry us away (x2)
We have found a better place
 
If we find the truth, my love
 
In my uniform of grace
I surround the human race
With all the love i have for you
And all these meadows of light unravel the shadows
Hiding inside us
Baby, I know
I know there’s something to guide us
 
If we find the truth
You and I alone
Without anguish, without fear, love is stronger
That day will come, and if you’re by my side
We will find love
We will find the truth
You and I alone
Without anguish, without fear, a place for us two
That day will come and if you are by my side
We will find the truth
That day will come.
 
We have found a better place (x3)
Baby you can feel it
Uh
Older than the stars
We will find the truth
Carry us away
We will find the truth
Deeper than the sea
We have found a better place (x2)
We have founded...
You can feel it?
 

Into You (빠져가)

Fall in even more deeply, you and I
Let’s fall in deeply, you and I together
The one thing I want
You seep into me, you spread inside of me
Even one small scene
I want to fill it up with you
Fall in even more deeply, you and I
Let’s fall in deeply, you and I together
 
Endlessly unfolding
The sky-like horizon
Like a small island on top of that
You and I float
 
At that smile that sees my eyes
For me, the whole world is bathed in light
Hold my hands and I close my eyes
I hope this time stops here
 
Fall in even more deeply, you and I
Let’s fall in deeply, you and I together
The one thing I want
You seep into me, you spread inside of me
 
Filling my whole heart
With you, I fill my heart
Fall in even more deeply, you and I
Let’s fall in deeply, you and I together
 
Shining white
Picture-like clouds
The sun that has become hot
Create a shade that covers from it
 
Wish will soon become tomorrow
Today is more heart fluttering than yesterday
I want to go together with you
Closer to the place where my dream reaches
 
Fall in even more deeply, you and I
Let’s fall in deeply, you and I together
The one thing I want
You seep into me, you spread inside of me
 
Filling my whole heart
With you, I fill my heart
Fall in even more deeply, you and I
Let’s fall in deeply, you and I together
 
Even if I sometimes pretend it’s not
I can’t hide it all, it becomes clearer
Even if I try hard
I can’t hide my heart toward you
Like how the dim fog disappears
It’s now clear in front of my eyes, baby
Like fate, like fate that’s determined
Like fate that’s determined
 
Fall in even more deeply, you and I
Let’s fall in deeply, you and I together
The one thing I want
You seep into me, you spread inside of me
 
Even one small scene
I want to fill it up with you
Fall in even more deeply, you and I
Let’s fall in deeply, you and I together
 

Secret

A secret to make your heart tremble
(Only I know)
A secret that has a slight feeling
My little shh Little Secret
Even if we stay up all night
I won’t tell you, only I know
I hide myself among the crowd
But you always find me in the end
 
Look up and down, Look back
But this scent continues
The closer you walk to me
 
Hidden in my heart, my little secret
A little secret that I wanna keep to myself
Will you whisper to me, my little secret
A little secret that will make you shine like me
(Don’t ever tell, Hey)
 
Be confident, be prepared to look better
It’s not hard
Somewhere, somehow, I shine
As if I’m hiding something special
 
The eyes on me have grown, it’s always overflowing
So I confidently enjoyed it even more
But why do you think that’s all there is to see?
 
Hidden in my heart, my little secret
A little secret that I wanna keep to myself
Will you whisper to me, my little secret
A little secret that will make you shine like me

Come come come away (Come on)
While everyone’s asleep (Suddenly)
A secret that will make you dazzle more
 
Should I just tell you?
You’ll be surprised, can you follow me?
I’m pulling you, it’s a party you’ve dreamed of
In it, it’s me and you
 
Hidden in my heart, my little secret
A little secret that I wanna keep to myself

A little secret that will make you shine like me

Illusion

Don’t pretend you’re real
It’s too much to sort you out, for me, for me
Everything is outside of my expectations
I can’t feel relaxed, ah
Why does my heart beat fast?
Even though I fly in the sky, I fall endlessly again
Mm, truthfully, it’s really confusing
I still close my eyes, again, again
 
Dream I don’t want to wake up from
When I open my eyes, I’m alone in this night
Dream filled with you
As soon as I embrace, you’ll disappear
 
Dream I don’t want to wake up from ah ah woo
Ah ah woo ah ah woo ah ah
 
I can’t trust all of you
You’re a lie that I dreamt up
I can’t fall into the traps that make my heart flutter
Why does my heart beat fast?
 
Even though I fly in the sky
I fall endlessly again
Mm, truthfully, it’s really confusing
Your heart that still feels like a maze, no, no
 
Dream I don’t want to wake up from
When I open my eyes, I’m alone in this night
Dream filled with you
As soon as I embrace, you’ll disappear
 
Dream I don’t want to wake up from ah ah woo
Ah ah woo ah ah woo ah ah
Dream I don’t like ah ah woo
Ah ah woo ah ah woo ah ah
 
Stay just a bit longer, I’m curious about you, like anticipation
Wonder if you’ll shine in my eyes, nothing wrong with that
Even if I chase you all night, when I turn around you’re already not there
I’m vacant because you scattered between my fingers
 
Dream I don’t want to wake up from
When I open my eyes, I’m alone in this night
Dream filled with you
As soon as I embrace, you’ll disappear
 
Dream I don’t want to wake up from ah ah woo
Ah ah woo ah ah woo ah ah
 
Dream I don’t want to wake up from
 

The Sea Is Spread Wide

The sea is spread wide
And the waves are storming.
Comrade, we're going far away,
Far away from our homeland.
 
No songs are heard on the deck
And the Red Sea is roaring,
And the shore is dim and narrow,
Heartbreaking to remember.
 
Eight bells have rung,
He had to relieve his comrade.
He hardly came down the ladder,
The driver screamed to him: 'Move it!'
 
'Comrade, I can't withstand my duty',
A fire feeder said to a fire feeder,
'The fire doesn't burn in my furnace,
I can't keep the steam in my boilers.
 
'Go and report that I'm ill
And I'm leaving my duty before time,
I'm drenched with sweat and drooping in heat,
I'm beat, I'm dying.'
 
His comrade left, he took the shovel
Summoning up all the strength he had,
He opened the furnace door with a routine push
And the fire lit him up:
 
His face, his shoulders, his bare chest
And the sweat that hailed down.
If anyone could see the fireroom,
He'd call it hell.
 
The steam boilers whirred grimly,
Shuddering because of the steam force.
And the steam, it hissed like a thousand serpents
As it broke through the pipes in some places.
 
And he, bending before the hot fire,
Skillfully threw the coal.
It was dim downstairs: even in the day
Sun rays couldn't reach that corner.
 
It was windless that day, he couldn't stand,
The water had warmed up, it was stifling and hot.
The thermometer was up as high as forty-five1,
The whole fireroom was airless.
 
When he was done throwing coal, he drank some water,
Some unclean distilled water.
Sweat and soot tracks were running down his face,
He heard the boilerman's speech:
 
'You haven't finished your duty, so you can't leave,
The driver is displeased.
You must go and tell the doctor:
If you're ill, he'll give you medicine.'
 
Gripping the handholds feebly,
He went up the ladder.
He couldn't go to get his medicine,
He was stifling in the heat.
 
He went up to the deck, unconscious already,
His eyes dimmed.
For a moment he saw the blinding glare,
He fell, his heart beated no more.
 
They ran up to him with cold water
Trying to bring him to life,
But the doctor said with a shake of his head:
'My skill is powerless.'
 
The deceased lied in the sick-bay all night
Dressed in a sailor's outfit.
He held a wax candle in his hands,
The wax melted, warmed up by the heat.
 
In the morning the sailors, the fire-feeder's friends,
Came to say farewell to their comrade.
They brought him the last present:
A burnt and rusty grate.
 
They tied the grate to his legs
And wrapped the body in a cloth.
The old naval chaplain came
And tears welled in many eyes.
 
The ocean was peacefull and still at that moment,
The water glimmered like a mirror.
The high ranks turned up, the captain came,
And they sang a requiem.
 
They raised the plank with a trembling hand,
And the body in a shroud slided down,
In the deep obscure abyss of the sea
It sank forever with a splash.
 
The old woman is waiting for her son in vain,
When someone tells her, she would weep.
And the waves run away from the screw under the aft
And their trace disappear in the distance.

Intoxicating lilacs

My eyes hold neither sadness nor yearning
But chagrin to the sudden melancholy
So be it that you're far away, faraway
So be it that I'm alone, so be it!
Cold fog does not lift from the ground
Day holds autumn-like frown
Maybe there was no love - twas a lie
But why did then lilacs have blossomed?
 
Refrain:
Oh, why in that illusive hour
On that quiet and gloomy day
Snow-white intoxicating lilacs
As if January's snow powdered us?
 
Above me are the rustling lilacs
With their fresh and silky leaves
Befuddling are those wild flowers
Intoxicating me with their scent.
But melted, as if ice in spring,
Your ethereal, transparent shadow
Could it have been all but a dream...
But why did then lilacs had blossomed?
 
Refrain:
Oh, why in that illusive hour
On that quiet and gloomy day
Snow-white intoxicating lilacs
As if January's snow powdered us?
 
My eyes hold neither sadness nor yearning
But chagrin to the sudden melancholy
So be it that you're far away, faraway
So be it that I'm alone, so be it!
Cold fog does not lift from the ground
Day holds autumn-like frown
Maybe there was no love - twas a lie
But why did then lilacs have blossomed?
 
Refrain:
Oh, why in that illusive hour
On that quiet and gloomy day
Snow-white intoxicating lilacs
As if January's snow powdered us?

Me of you

Many of your things got worse
Though you're someone who lets me ask
Doubting is a sad thing
Covering my ears, I believe you
 
If for loving, the people of the world
Throw a cold stone away
Let's divide in two the same pain
You and I reached here
If we part, we'd probably die
 
Something unknown and attached to you
Still has a lot for saying yes
But I can't feel your pinky in my skin
Beautiful feelings are happy
 
If for loving, even the friends
End up split
Let's bear together the same pain
You and I reached here
If we part, we'd probably die
 
If for loving, the people of the world
Throw a cold stone away
Let's divide in two the same pain
You and I reached here
If we part, we'd probably die

I don't want to love you like before

It pains me to survive on my own, I no longer miss you
You know, your skin was almost my bread, my slavery
I managed to live without you but to never again love like that
I don't want to love you like before
 
Chorus:
No, I don't want to love you like before
My heart just can't take even the slightest cheating
No, I don't want to love you like before
No, no, no
 
I no longer cry, yesterday is far behind
Nor do I give of myself to someone else
I don't allow someone to again hurt me like that
I don't want to love you like before
 
Chorus:
No, I don't want to love you like before
My heart just can't take even the slightest cheating
No, I don't want to love you like before
No, no, no
 
No, I don't want to love you like before
My heart just can't take even the slightest cheating
No, I don't want to love you like before
No, no, no
 
No, I don't want to love you like before
My heart just can't take even the slightest cheating
No, I don't want to love you like before
No, no, no
 

Babka Yozhka's Limericks

Versions: #2
Spread the bellows and start playing,
Oh my true accordion.
Sing the limericks Babka Yozhka,
Sing into the unison.
 
I was tipsy in the gloom
And went flying on a broom,
Although I am not the one
Superstitious hag around.
 
As I walked along the wood,
A small imp has grabbed my hood.
Though I thought he was a man.
What the hell is all this scam?
 
As I turned to hit the road,
This old imp again bestowed,
So I spat on his bald head
And has ordered to drop dead.
 
The most wicked of them all
Is the evil fabler scrawl.
He's a crafty fabulist,
Too bad he's on tabu list!
 
Spread the bellows and start playing,
Oh my true accordion.
Sing the limericks Babka Yozhka,
Sing into the unison.
 

I can't wait for the summer

Knock me, my heart
Knock me, with your love
Knock me, try to knock
 
I'm not good with half-hearted loves
With all my heart I want you to make up your mind
A strong punch to the shore of my chest
Love is not a game
Welcome boy with Oedipus complex
Nobody strong can snatch me away from you
The hem of your pure white T-shirt
I wanna go catching. I follow you!
 
I can't wait for the summer. I can't wait for the summer
The deep red sun is in a hurry and impatient
I can't wait for the summer. I can't wait for the summer
Don't get in a bad mood and hold me without warning
 
Stop if you're going to kiss me as a friend
You can be more ambicious
Push me down your arms
I hate a certain air
Like if it came from the movies
Because I can't go on being sweet
Open your convertible cape
Wash away my feelings. Take me
 
I can't wait for love. I can't wait for love
I just want a lively love under the deep blue sky
I can't wait for love. I can't wait for love
Stop teasing me. Suddenly the deep water is lovely.
 
I can't wait for the summer. I can't wait for the summer
The deep red sun is in a hurry and impatient
I can't wait for the summer. I can't wait for the summer
Don't get in a bad mood and hold me without warning
 
Knock me, my heart
Knock me, with your love
Knock me, try to knock
Knock me, a door opens

That summer bike

On an old garage, covered in dust
Continuously forgotten, distant memories of the wind
 
A red freeway followed by the setting sun
As if I'm shaking off a long shadow
Clinging to your back
From my arm, love has spilled
If you go down the next interchange
You'll go to an unknown city
 
Yeah, I begged you that summer bike
I was choking with a caught goodbye
Yeah, I begged you that summer bike
Once more, I wanted to run through memories
Together in the fog
 
In a small cape not found in the map
I followed a shoreline love
Through the pale sunrays I turned a moment
A claxion sounded like a period
 
While you drive fast that august bike
I'll throw the freeway tickets
While you drive fast that august bike
I'll never travel on that road again
Alone in the fog
 
Ah, if I turn of the engine
The noise of the tides change
 
Yeah, I begged you that summer bike
I was choking with a caught goodbye
Yeah, I begged you that summer bike
Once more, I wanted to run through memories
Together in the fog
 
On an old garage, covered in dust
Continuously forgotten, distant memories of the wind

Guajiro From The Wild

Hello!
Hey, Trismila!
It's your grandfather talking to you,
For you thought I'd died.
 
And I'm alive in my wild place.
 
I'm a guajiro,
I live in the wild.
I have a hut
Up in the mountain. (X2)
 
I know all the plants,
As brother of mother earth,
The ones that cleanse from anything bad,
The ones that free man.
 
Thinking I was dead,
Manuel is forever my name.
 
I'm a guajiro,
I live in the wild.
I have a hut
Up in the mountain. (X2)
 
So you know I'm alive,
And that no one can kill a wise man,
Now I live in the wild,
With the rivers that sing to me.
I invite you to come in here,
So I can gladden your body and soul.
 
Guajiro, guajiro, guajiro from the wild.
You thought I was dead,
Manuel is forever my name.
 
I'm a guajiro, guajiro, guajiro from the wild.
 
I know all the plants,
As brother of mother earth.
 
I'm a guajiro, guajiro, guajiro from the wild.
 
I sing to you so you know I'm alive
And that no one can kill a wise man.
 
I'm a guajiro, guajiro, guajiro from the wild.
 
Now I live in the wild
With the rivers that sing to me.
 
I'm a guajiro, guajiro, guajiro from the wild. (repeated)
 
I talk to the animals
And they answer me.
 
Never does a wise man die
I live free singing here in the wild.
 
I'm a guajiro, guajiro, guajiro from the wild.
I'm a guajiro, guajiro, guajiro from the wild.
 
I talk to the animals
And they answer me.
 
Never does a wise man die
I live free singing here in the wild.
 

Love (handmaiden of time)

Handmaiden of time,
Mistress of space,
You walked... I sang to be heard by you.
But it's too late:
I'm already burnt...
To save me isn't even in your power, love.
 
Narcotic faithful,
Into all corners
Your magic flow is carried thru,
But my veins
From your needle run
How regretful! Yet, I will resist [temptation]!...
 
But sometimes
I so want to lie to myself and others, that I'm loved...
Only years - water...later - shards of ice...
Where is the fire? What happened to it?...
 
Coming through the breakage,
Having felt all of the pain,
Grateful!...but...leave.
Forgive, eternal NOT my love!
I will be again alone...alone...
Farewell, forever NOT my love!
I will be again,
As always,
Alone...

My six-stringed friend

Won't you play me a tune, my six-stringed guitar?
Help me recall times of old.
Your wails, your sorrowful sounds
intoxicate me more than a strong wine.
 
See how I take my beloved guitar in my hands,
play a chord and sing along.
I sing of my love and youth,
and the girl I love.
 
(chorus)
Resound, my guitar, so dolefully,
and play my song to the end.
May it fly into the girls' white bosoms
and melt their hearts of ice.
 
I sang so many griefs, so much happiness,
I shared it all with you.
They were problems, my loved one cheated on me,
but you never were unfaithful.
 
(chorus)
 
When my time comes to depart this Earth,
I'll gather my friends and tell them:
'lay down my six-stringed friend next to me in my grave,
and I will wake every dead on Earth!'
 
Maybe I'll burn in the flames of hell,
maybe I'll end up in paradise.
My six-stringed friend will always help me
and sing of my past life.
 
(chorus)
 
and melt their hearts of ice...
 

Drinking night

I don´t ask for forgiveness, although I sometimes cried for you
and I swore you a thousand times that I wont repeat that again
I don´t ask you to shut up to keep it in secret
let´s be honest and God will decide
 
I don´t ask you to see you anymore
it´s impossible to look at the past and stop going
I don´t ask you to forget and start over again
I know well that night I did bad
 
It was a drinking night, crazy night
I kissed other lips, I forgot yours
I smudge your image, I lost myself
and that´s the story
 
It was a drinking night, crazy night
I kissed other lips, I forgot yours
I smudge your image, I lost myself
and that´s the story
 
I don´t ask for forgivenes because I had reasons
you were so far and I so bad
and even though I had never cheated on you
that night, my love, I couldn´t anymore
 
But now I know
that was awkward, I loved you and I love you
although it´s too late now
I wanted to revange myself and the damage is done
I ask you to forget, will you, love?
 
It was a drinking night, crazy night
I kissed other lips, I forgot yours
I smudge your image, I lost myself
and that´s the story
 
It was a drinking night, crazy night
I kissed other lips, I forgot yours
I smudge your image, I lost myself
and that´s the story
 
It was a drinking night, crazy night
I kissed other lips, I forgot yours
I smudge your image, I lost myself
and that´s the story
 
It was a drinking night, crazy night
I kissed other lips, I forgot yours
I smudge your image, I lost myself
and that´s the story
 

Leave her

[Him: Hello?]
Where have you been today? [Him: Yes. It's me.]
It was our weekly date [Him: Oh! Really?]
Candles, music, champagne [Him: Right, right!]
Seven days preparing it
 
Always the same situation
Alone, hating you and loving you
I always end up in a corner
Alone, crying until sunrise
 
Tell me if she's with you [Him: Of course.]
Tell me if you were kissing her [Him: Not at all.]
I don't know how to live without you, you know? [Him: I'm sorry.]
I want you to make your decision.
 
Leave her my love!
Leave her my love!
What can she have that I don't?
What can she give you? Tell me!
 
Leave her my love!
Leave her my love!
 
You swear once and a thousand times [Him: Well.]
That you love me, that I should trust you
You swear that I'm your great love [Him: The thing is...]
But our situation doesn't change.
 
I'm tired of living like this
Alone, hating you and loving you
 
Leave her my love!
Leave her my love!
What can she have that I don't?
What can she give you? Tell me!
 
Leave her my love!
Leave her my love!
What can she have that I don't?
What can she give you? Tell me!
 

I love you, I love you

Listen: I love you, I love you
I don't know what is this
And I love you, I love you.
 
Wait: give me your hand,
I will shout and tell you
That I love you, I love you.
 
Every time that we nag each other,
I love you, I love you,
And I love you, I love you.
 
Wait, I'm impatient
But I don't yield because I know
That I love you, I love you.
 
I am not dreaming,
You are mi master, this is a fantasy
And I love you, I love you.
 
I know that you and I quarrel
But I love you, I love you,
I only love you.
 
Take me, leave me, buy me, sell me,
Tie me, untie me, love me, forget me.
Take me, leave me, buy me, sell me,
Tie me, untie me, love me, forget me.
 
You're always happy,
But I love you, I love you,
I love you, I love you,
 
Listen: I love you, I love you
And soon you're mocking,
And I love you, I love you.
 
Listen: I have you inside
And at the same time I regret it
And I love you, I love you.
 
I know that you and I quarrel,
But I love you, I love you,
I only love you.
 
I know that you and I quarrel,
But I love you, I love you,
I only love you.
 
Take me, leave me, buy me, sell me,
Tie me, untie me, love me, forget me.
Take me, leave me, buy me, sell me,
Tie me, untie me, love me, forget me.
 
You're always happy,
But I love you, I love you,
I love you, I love you,
 
Listen: I love you, I love you.
Wait: I love you, I love you.
Listen: I love you, I love you.
Wait: I love you, I love you.
 

The blackout

I was alone in the street
When it suddenly happened
A blackout
I better not tell
The adventure I experienced
Someone grabbed me by the waist
Took me to a portico
And in that dark street
Ah! What has happened to me!
 
With the blackout, such things happen!
Such things happen with the blackout!
With the blackout, such things happen!
Such things happen with the blackout!
 
I remained very still in that
Awful darkness
And a hand oh! so swift
Handled me with confidence and freedom
If there was danger up here
Down there the situation was worse
The attack was so serious...
Ah! What has happened to me!
 
With the blackout, such things happen!
Such things happen with the blackout!
With the blackout, such things happen!
Such things happen with the blackout!
 
And unable to see the enemy in that terrible darkness
They took off my coat
The hat and... How awful!
I was thinking about the punishment
That shameless person
Was going to get from me
When the lights came back on
Ah! It was my dad!
 
With the blackout, such things happen!
Such things happen with the blackout!
With the blackout, such things happen!
Such things happen with the blackout!
 

It will be tomorrow

I don't know why
But I feel like a day is coming
Bringing a love to my life, I know it well
 
And I will love
As I've dreamed many times
And that dream will come true, I know it well
 
It will be tomorrow,
And after tomorrow,
Monday, or Tuesday,
It will be any day
In any moment
They will come to touch me
The doors to my heart
 
And I'll forget
The pain with which I've suffered
And that I cried
And that I lived
And yesterday
In solitude
 
All my dreams will come true
And my wishful thoughts
And I'll forget
The pain with which I've suffered
And that I cried
And that I lived
And yesterday
In solitude
 
It will be tomorrow,
And after tomorrow,
Monday, or Tuesday,
It will be any day
In any moment
They will come to touch me
The doors to my heart
 
I don't know why
But I feel like a day is coming
Bringing a love to my life, I know it well
 
And I will love
As I've dreamed many times
And that dream will come true, I know it well
 
It will be tomorrow,
And after tomorrow,
Monday, or Tuesday,
It will be any day
In any moment
They will come to touch me
The doors to my heart
 
And I'll forget
The pain with which I've suffered
And that I cried
And that I lived
And yesterday
In solitude
 

I Am A Good Dreamer…

Versions: #3
I’m too old to change occupation
To learn through the pain and the scars
I probably won’t ever travel
To gorgeous amazing new stars
These days it's just too complicated
So much I can’t feel any more
I celebrate birthdays belated
But I dream just as big as before…
 
That while sailing adrift
I’ll acquire a gift
Stumble over a fortune right at my feet…
In a different world
With a love to behold
At the open doors where someone’s waiting and loves and believes in me!
 
I can’t recall all the strangers
That I had befriended along
Countless sleepless nights flowing
At times when I felt so alone
Some folks to me are just boring
To them l look tired it seems…
With so many words outpouring
I’d rather stay home and daydream…
 
That by staying adrift
I’ ll acquire a gift
Stumble over a fortune right at my feet
In a different world
With a love to behold
At the open doors where someone’s waiting and loves and believes in me!
 
If best moments could be repeated
It still wouldn’t be quite all that…
Officially, I am over ’30’
And I am not giving up dreaming yet…
 
That while sailing adrift
I’ll acquire a gift
Stumble over a fortune right at my feet,
Of a different world
Of a love to behold
Of the open doors where someone’s waiting and loves and believes in me!

Irremediable

I fall into this lost war
with badly wounded soul
it rains the memory on you
it seems a street without exit
 
I was left with so many scars
broken without you, without wings or roots
 
Inevitable
I die of love on that place so common
irremediable the night grows
our sun went by some skylight
 
I cross an empty universe
without your arms that were mine
you only left me the silence
of faded rainbows
 
There are already my impossible dreams
they'll be just invisible stories
 
Inevitable
I die of love on that place so common
irremediable the night grows
our sun went by some skylight
 
Another star that goes out
another step of loneliness.
and losing you will be
 
Inevitable
I die of love on that place so common
irremediable the night grows
our sun went by some skylight
 

Now it´s too late

I followed the path to you
I gave you my whole being
and now I realize
that is too late
 
And you passed by and I saw you and I thought
he is not, is not for me
but I smiled
 
You approached
you invited me out, I refused
but curiosity caught me and I accepted
 
I had the intention
to go very slowly while walking
but I stumbled on your perfect way of kissing
 
And then it happened
what didn´t have to happen
and you got yourself in my mind, in my space
in myy body and nothing and nobody can take you out
 
Now it´s too late
for sanity
to say you: no
wait, I´m not sure
 
It´s too late
to be more mature
I don´t want anything from you
just come and help me with a doubt
if you were not going to love me, if you were not going to love me
why did you make me yours
 
And you kept quiet and you left and I called you
but then again
I believed you and I don´t know why
 
And again it happened
what didn´t have to happen
and you got yourself in my mind, in my space
in myy body and nothing and nobody can take you out
 
Now it´s too late
for sanity
to say you: no
wait, I´m not sure
 
It´s too late
to be more mature
I don´t want anything from you
just come and help me with a doubt
 
No, don´t answer me, it´s not necessary
but let this help you see
all the damage you have caused
 
Now it´s too late
for sanity
to say you: no
wait, I´m not sure
 
It´s too late
to be more mature
I don´t want anything from you
just come and help me with a doubt
if you were not going to love me, if you were not going to love me
why did you make me yours
 

Early winter rain in the pier

The early winter rain in the pier falls at night
On the other side of the rain my hometown is seen
Here is the Tonosho port at Setouchi
Staying for a night, wearing a garment over another
One day I became familiar with the neon city
 
If troubles weigh on your shoulders
I'll do you the favour of finding where to throw them away
Here is the Tonosho port at Setouchi
Drink another cup of neon sake
On the snowy night of the sad world's path
 
That's the last bus to Takamatsu
A steam whistle entangles in the hand that holds the glass
Here is the Tonosho port at Setouchi
Love comes and dreams too
The neon city shines red of spring

Noto Peninsula

The dawn comes and the northern sea is as wild as tides
I look like a desperate and grieved travelling woman
Curling my unkempt hair in my fingers, sighing
I was just looking at the landscape while I was going by the road
In my 19 years I didn't know love
In my 19 years I knew love
Darling, I'm on a journey to visit you
From summer to fall to the Noto Peninsula
 
When I received the journey postcard saying 'I'm here'
Something inexpected bursted in my chest
Immediately I prepared myself for a one night journey
I wanted to jump on your warm chest
In my 19 years I didn't know love
In my 19 years I knew love
I leave it all and I go running
From summer to fall to the Noto Peninsula

19 years old innocence

For your surename I dyed my cheeks
If I imagine the evening, I blush
A love scar was carved in my fingers
I softly wrapped it with a white handkerchief
I can't tell anybody about
My 19 years old innocence
 
For you I put up my hair
I also bloomed beautiful
I felt a sign of love in my lips
This morning I saw my lipstick shining
I can't show anybody
My 19 years old innocence
 
Even if the storm blows on this flower
Let's make this love of two bloom without fall
Now in me nothing is seen
I only have nothing but a dream
I can't show anybody
My 19 years old innocence

Drift ice

A year and then two
After three years, love is heavy
Without being thrown away nor abandoned
It passes through anywhere in the stream
The outside of the glass window grows dark in the snow
People look like migratory birds
Cold, you're cold
Just the way you are now, you're frozen
 
The firestove burns bright red
While a flower fastened in the hair​ feels both hands
Without dying nor living
I look haggard
The foghorns mingle with the noise of the wind
They only sing a desperate enka song
Cold, you're cold
Just the way you are now, you're frozen
 
Winter becomes intense
If it is the case that love is pale happiness
Even if you embrace me and go away
You wait aimlessly for the spring
The night gets late, the crying sea gets frozen
My entire chest creaks like in a sound
Cold, you're cold
Just the way you are now, you're frozen

Going by the road from Hakata

City lights at the right, Genkai at the left
A steam train is splitting the night
If I pass under the barrier hiding my face
I'll barely have a seat like you
 
Ah, I preteded to be a woman travelling alone
Gazing through the window, however
Going by the road from Hakata in a party of two
A woman who couldn't fly, flew away
 
The fire of the strait baits are the lights of a place near the mountains
The hand that peels tangerines shivers
I don't know anybody worried about love
I remember a year passed
 
Ah, forgive me
Surely I'll achieve happiness
Going by the road from Hakata in a party of two
A woman who couldn't fly, flew away

Lesser cuckoos

When we go together to the town
I walk three steps behind you
Before any whim of yours
I honestly answer 'Yes'
Lesser cuckoos are lesser cuckoos
They don't become white cranes
But devoting myself to you
I sacrifice my woman life
 
When you come back
I welcome you with three fingers on the floor
Until you have a dream
Softly I rub your back
Lesser cuckoos are lesser cuckoos
They don't become white cranes
But while you sleep, close to your ear
I sing words of love
 
Lesser cuckoos are lesser cuckoos
They don't become white cranes
But the next time I'm born
I want to live near you

Hide and seek

I remember the hide and seek
When the twilight was approaching in an alley
I wanted my darling like the ibis of a demon
To find me soon
Covered in the wheat I was peeking
And I was waiting, I was waiting
 
Unforgettable hide and seek
Of a childish first love
My darling is not found
Like a demon I looked for him
Your figure is not seen anywhere
I was crying, I was crying
 
Now I can't play hide and seek
With time I became adult
My darling is in a far town
I can't go anymore
I sneak you out in the middle of the afterglow
I'm nevertheless alone, nevertheless alone

Because of the plumber

Versions: #2
With the paycheck at the market
if you go early in the morning
you pay a visit and that's it.
 
If you want, just like a fool,
to see how much is the meat muscle,
you remain with a node in your throat
 
Life is so full of problems
like a ? of bombs
with immediate effect.
 
If I'd have time and space,
health and happiness,
I'd make some order in the state.
 
[Prechorus]
In the social life
I'd make a new start,
I'd have atitude
but the water valve is broken!
(Oh, yeah!)
 
[Chorus:]
And the plumber asks me
for more and more money, what should-I do?!
And the plumber asks me
for more and more money, what should-I do?!
 
It's not that I got no guts to say,
It's not that I got no guts to say,
But, God, I don't know to who
 
And I can' get out of the house
'cause the neighbour has a dog
and I am afraid of it!
 
I'd go to the mayor's office
to ask him for street repairs
so they can pour asphalt
 
And though I'm good on words,
I'm kinda short
and the mayor's kinda tall...
 
[prechorus...]
 
Without any doubt
I'd have a decent life,
I'd have atitude
but my sink is clogged...
(Oh, yeah!!...)
 
[Chorus...]
 
I'd take some big steps
to take the country out of the crisis
I'd make myself an investor.
 
But when It's time to enter the competition
to make an investition,
I can't because of the plumber...
 
[Prechorus]
 
There is no doubt
that I'd make a good work
but then again, it's wet
and I gotta put some clay...
 
[Chorus]
 

Universe's introspection, cradle of the dead

The universe is wriggling my birth
The universe's creation's is the birds that are crowding
My body is becoming whole with a planet
Ephemerid's light of wings' is zero gravity
 
The infernal star and the infinite density's of observatory
A spacetime's burial and a doodlebugs' snare
 
A fire bird of the whole creation
The universe's elementary cells
I am the Samsara
Of the black hole which is the cradle of the dead

My body became into the universe..!
 
Absolute consciousness is connected beyond the void
In one second, there counts hundreds of millions of light years
Life is to get connected to it, to born and become a star
 
The cradle of the dead..!
 
The earth's hourglass is the time remaining to the sun
The Siriuis' cycle on the ancient's calendar is the ancient times' space of structure
 
The dark lines of Stellar gas' canvas dust
The universe's rules is to spread as an elliptic spiral
 
The tower of truth is dominating the view from beyond the universe
In one second, there counts hundreds of millions of light years
They approach and keep away, the coming and going waves are praising...
 
The cradle of the dead..!

Life is to get connected to it, to born and become a star

Holidays

How much light, how much warmth
These three weeks gave us!
The kind wildflowers
Looked into our eyes everywhere
Who can remember how many times
Stars fell from the sky for luck.
This does not often happen on Earth
But where are they now?
 
The happy times have left their fleeting glimpse and passed
The short holidays are over
Alas, love did not call on us then
Love did not call on us, it just called out.
 
The grey rain is coming
And then there will be blizzards...
Will these three weeks really remain somewhere in the past?
Who can remember how many times
Stars fell from the sky for luck.
This does not often happen on Earth
But where are they now?
 
The happy times have left their fleeting glimpse and passed
The short holidays are over
Alas, love did not call on us then
Love did not call on us, it just called out.
