Cheating

Versions: #1
[Tarek]
I cheated on you,
If you don't believe me, go find out
Baby give it your best
I've got women saved on my phone under the names of men
I'm cheating on you, I'm cheating on you!
I say I wouldn't even think of it, been doing it for a while
If I died
There would be a women you didn't know among the mourners
You're the widow but that slut is the one crying the loudest
When it all comes out I'll say it's not what it looks like
She tripped and fell on me
You were away for five minutes, I was alone
 
[Refrain]
I'm cheating on you
I'm cheating on you, I'm cheating on you!
He's cheating on you
I'm cheating on you, I'm cheating on you!
I'm cheating on you
I'm cheating on you, I'm cheating on you!
He's cheating on you
I'm cheating on you, I'm cheating on you!
 
[Tarek - Verse 2]
You (you you) make me feel bad
In front of a stranger, I'll make you sick
You dragged him away
I'm swimming in my wetsuit in the water bed
You're cheating on me, you're cheating on me
I know what you haven't told me
You had sex
You cling exhausted onto your lover
And I head what you're saying, he probably suspects it
When it all comes out I'll say it's not what it looks like
She tripped and fell on me
You were away for five minutes, I was alone
 
[Refrain]
 
You're cheating on me
You're cheating on me, You're cheating on me!
She's cheating on you
I'm cheating on you, I'm cheating on you!
You're cheating on me
You're cheating on me, You're cheating on me!
She's cheating on you
I'm cheating on you, I'm cheating on you!
 
[Bridge]
Do we want, do we want to keep on lying?
We've been seperated a long time
We lose, we keep trying again and again
And cheat on each other
 
[Refrain]
I'm cheating on you
I'm cheating on you, I'm cheating on you!
He's cheating on you
I'm cheating on you, I'm cheating on you!
I'm cheating on you
I'm cheating on you, I'm cheating on you!
He's cheating on you
I'm cheating on you, I'm cheating on you!
 

The Bandit

Ole, lace making woman
Ole, lace woman
 
You teach me how to make lace,
I teach you how to make love.
Lampiao came down from the hills
Invited to a bandit's dance
 
Ole, lace making woman
Ole, lace woman
 

Goblet of Gold

Now here comes
The maiden I adore
And in her hand she carries
A beautiful goblet of gold,
And in the goblet she carries...
 
Love's poison,
And she comes to deliver death
To this poor innocent heart.
 
Happy are you,
Like a lovely Doana,
You who enjoy
Pleasures and honors.
 
Now here comes
The mistress of my affections,
And she comes to deliver death
To this poor innocent heart.
 

My Tired Years

Versions: #1
You both killed me and the you in me.
I wouldn't want it to be like this.
I'm defeated but you also lost.
I lost life, you lost me.
 
Damned me, why did I love
you this much.
You weren't worth my purest emotions.
It was a little too late but I learned that.
 
I'm an open wound, I bleed day and night.
My years burned right under my nose.
The rose buds that blossomed in my heart broke before it could turn into a rose.
These tired years are your work.

Pomegranate

The red and white flower has run away from me
O pomegranate1 come visit me 2
O dew on pomegranate flower, come visit me 2
 
Has he3 heard something bad from me?
O pomegranate come and visit me
O dew on pomegranate flower, come and visit me
 
I didn't tell him something bad
O pomegranate come and visit me
O dew on pomegranate flower, come and visit me
 
Why has he discontinued his love?
O pomegranate come and visit me
O dew on pomegranate flower, come and visit me
O pomegranate flower, come and visit me
O dew on pomegranate flower, come and visit me
 
My heart is with the sweetheart tonight
My heart is like an underdone chicken tonight
Make a kebab from Fayiz's4 heart
Because the sweetheart is our guest tonight
 

• 1. It's a metaphor. The poet has likened the beloved to pomegranate and in the next lines to pomegranate flower in beauty
• Most likely means I'm sick, come and visit me
• 3. Apparently, the poet of this song is a male but as the singer is a female, I considered the pronouns based on a female speaker
• 4. The poet's name

Listen for the last time

Versions: #1
Either listen to me hear me out for the last time
or stab the dagger on my heart, push it in deep.
I'm yearning for you, but it's unlikely that you come to me.
Don't ask about my problem to anyone.
 
You'll forget one day.
You're already here one day and the next day you're nowhere to be found.
A solution for such sorrow can be hardly found.
Have you ever asked...
 
There's a fear in my heart.
Will the problems come at us again?
Call me by phone. There are scars on my back.
Just don't ask me, 'what's your problem'.
 

Mannequin House

My memory is really bad — I forgot everything, it's sad.
Expecting guests every day but looks like they lost their way.
In my house, I see only them —
Mannequins,
Time stands still as they stand still.
 
Can't get why mannequins are surrounding me —
I'm still in the dark, and no one outside.
Do I live in a ghost town where people died out?
And why every wayfarer avoids my poor house?
 
Who I was, what I've become...
The answer doesn't want to come.
What's behind the mist in my soul?
Loneliness is my enemy and role.
They are here for a reason…
Mannequins, —
I hear my voice from the dark.
 
Can't get why mannequins are surrounding me —
I'm still in the dark, and no one outside.
Do I live in a ghost town where people died out?
And why every wayfarer avoids my poor house?
 
Can't get why mannequins are surrounding me.
I lose all sense of time in creative flow,
I often have a dream where mannequins are alive
And created by me, but I don't believe.
 
Mannequins are laughing, dancing, feel sad,
Why the old house turned into a museum?
Even though they all are so kind and good,
They can't replace real human friends.
 

For once

While the city
Is still lit up at four
And there's a place to distract you somewhere
A modest place
A little place
 
Don't say no
You are denying yourself paradise
I know the place where the light is a streetlamp for years
And sleep is fun
The only fun thing
 
I know that right now
While they start singing whatever song
While we go to dissipate the heat
They are fighting there
 
What will pay for
The blood the earth absorbs?
Which gold which is not gold of dreams weighs this much?
What can be worth more?
 
What will pay this sweat of time passing?
What time is paying his life time?
Which life is bleeding out of the wound
Of going about this earth for once?
Of going about this earth for once?
Of going about this earth for once
 
When at eleven the sun goes away to the centre of the horror
When orders and goals beg for their wall of rock
When from dark to dark they talk to the action
The word is yours, I stay silent in shame
The word is yours, I stay silent in shame
The word is yours, I stay silent in shame
 
What will pay this sweat of time passing?
What time is paying his life time?
Which life is bleeding out of the wound
Of going about this earth for once?
Of going about this earth for once?
Of going about this earth for once
 

I'll Love You Without You

Petek Dinçöz:
Love is not taking but giving.
It means to love them more than yourself.
Even if your time is up and you're to die,
love means to think of him first.
If you have counted days left,
if you're leaving this earth soon,
you can not say ''what you will experience after I'm gone
will be nothing but disaster'', if you're in love.
 
Ferhat Göçer:
What a sadness is this, what a grief...
O the apple of my eyes, we used to be happy.
If I've done something wrong,
two words from you will be enough.
 
What a sadness is this, what a grief...

Petek Dinçöz:
My teardrops are now on my lips.
Death has come now, it's waiting by my door.
I will love you without you
even if I got stuck under dirt.
My teardrops are now on my lips.
Death has come now, it's waiting by my door.
I will love you without you
even if I got stuck under dirt.
 
One day he will understand me,
maybe he will cry a lot.
Maybe he will be too mad
because I hided this from him.
But what could he do even if he knew...
Since there's no remedy for death.
If he learned the truth...
He was going to be upset for months.
 
Ferhat Göçer:
 
Why are you escaping me?
It's like you're hiding something from me.
Be direct with me,
do you want to break up?
 
Petek Dinçöz:
 
My teardrops are now on my lips.
Death has come now, it's waiting by my door.
I will love you without you
even if I got stuck under dirt.
 

There's Something

That the guilt didn't weigh if it belonged to both of us
That there were no more words just confusion
You had the sad fortune
Of having committed an act of love
 
That time stopped when I was1
That we were in your imagination
You knew how to find the words
That made me want to talk
 
And you said softly in my ear
'I'm not alone but I want to be with you
I really like you, something has to happen'
And I told you that's why I don't follow you
You're not alone and I don't want to be with you
I really like you, but something has to change
 
That you no longer understood anything about this situation
That the night was perfect to be with you
You had the sad fortune
Of having committed an act of love
 
And you said softly in my ear
'I'm not alone but I want to be with you
I really like you, something has to happen'
And I told you that's why I don't follow you
You're not alone and I don't want to be with you
I really like you, but something has to
 
And you said softly in my ear
All the beautiful things that you wanted2with me
I really like you, something has to happen
And I told you that's why I don't follow you
You're not alone and I don't want to be with you
I really like you, but today I don't want to play anymore

Absent

You said 'left everything behind u'
Everything, in one breath
Missing is easier than meeting with you
 
If i ever look back
You loved once, but you went thousands
Running away is easier than believing u
Forgetting is easier than remembering, easier
 
Do not stop, let me be free
Finish this silence
Take this, this tiredness off me
 
Neither like an absent nor an extra
Neither like a winner nor a loser
Come and take your feelings, off me, off me
 
You said 'be my home' on that first night, with your cold voice
Now if you get cold its easy to burn your house..
You get used to, get used to
'You get along with this situation' is easy to say
From the far
 

Longing

Versions: #1
Those eyes that cry are mine.
This love in my heart feels even
stranger than before.
It's a never ending pain.
 
Because of the sorrow of my soul,
my eyes filled with tears.
I'm agonizing from the depths of me.
I don't know what happened to me.
 
My closest friend
is nights that embrace my soul.
Whom did I get attached to like this..
I'm crying secretly.
 
Give me healing from this sorrow
oh the solitary darkness.
The wounds in my heart are
more and deeper, deeper.
 

Kiss of fire

Inside Out

The day’s shrinking, the sun’s fading away,
The glow of the sky says it’s getting late,
And I’m still wandering in you, like in a forest,
Where’s the way in and way out? I’m perplexed.
 
Your heart’s beating beside me, like a source
Of myself, only I don’t know which way to go,
I’m still wandering in you, like in a grove,
Where I have never been before...
 
Frolicking shadows are beckoning me to rest,
Crossing out the paths, hiding them in the murk,
I’m still wandering in you like in a forest,
The farther I move, the more I loose my way ...
 
I hide you away from the eyes in my heart,
I can’t see because I’m standing in my own way,
I’m still wandering in you like in a thick forest,
And every moment I’m quickening my pace.
 
The day is passing away. It’ll soon end...
So what if it’s the end? If it’s the dark? The night?
I’m still wandering in you like in a dense forest,
Treading a path to you like I did the first time.
 

The Girl With the Blue Backpack

What's the matter, boy, what's the matter?
They tell me at school and they ask me at home,
And all at once, I instantly knew when
I heard the rollcall and she was not present.
The girl with the blue backpack, the one with the sleepy eyes,
Left me with a great anxiety and low grades.
I don't even want to go to the playground,
nothing amuses me
I can't read or write,
I miss her gaze.
 
I still remember their colors,
The pages of the notebook
Tell about romances in smudges
I would like to see her at her desk,
Because if she doesn't come back, my classroom will be very sad.
The girl with the blue backpack, the one with the sleepy eyes,
Left me with a great anxiety and low grades.
I don't even want to go to the playground, nothing amuses me.
I can't read or write,
I miss her gaze.
 

They shouted Black! at me

Versions: #1
I was only seven years old,
barely seven...
Did I say seven years?!
I wasn't even five!
 
Suddenly, some voices on the street
shouted at me: 'Black!'
 
Black! Black! Black!
Black! Black! Black!
Black!
 
'Am I really black?' I told myself (Yes!)
What does it mean to be 'black'? (Black!)
I wasn't aware yet of the sad truth
behind that word. (Black!)
 
And I felt black, (Black!)
as they told me. (Black!)
And I stepped back, (Black!)
as they wanted. (Black!)
And I hated my hair, and my thick lips,
and I was ashamed of my burnt skin,
and I stepped back (Black!)
and I stepped back...
 
Black! Black! Black! Black!
Black! Black! Black!
Black! Black! Black! Black!
Black! Black! Black! Black!
 
And the time went by,
and always so bitter,
I kept on carrying at my back
this heavy burden,
And how heavy it was!
 
I straightened my hair,
I put on powder on my face,
and inside my guts
it always resounded the same word:
 
Black! Black! Black! Black!
Black! Black! Black!
 
But one day, when I was stepping back,
I was stepping back and I was about to fall-
 
Black! Black! Black! Black!
Black! Black! Black!
Black! Black! Black! Black!
Black! Black! Black! Black!
 
So what?! So what?! (Black!)
Yes (Black!)
I am (Black!)
black! (Black!)
I am black! (Black!)
Yes (Black!)
I am (Black!)
black! (Black!)
I am black!
 
From now on, I don't want to
straighten my hair (I don't want to!)
And I will laugh at those
that try to avoid some sorrow for us
by calling black people 'people of color'.
 
And what color it is? (BLACK!)
And how nice it sounds! (BLACK!)
And what a rhythm it has!
 
BLACK! BLACK! BLACK! BLACK!
BLACK! BLACK! BLACK! BLACK!
BLACK! BLACK! BLACK! BLACK!
BLACK! BLACK! BLACK!
 
Finally!
I finally understood! (finally!)
I won't step back (finally!)
and I move forward confident! (finally!)
and I move forward and hope! (finally!)
And I thank heavens because God wanted me to
be this jet black color.
And I understood! (finally!)
I now have the key:
 
BLACK! BLACK! BLACK! BLACK!
BLACK! BLACK! BLACK! BLACK!
BLACK! BLACK! BLACK! BLACK!
BLACK! BLACK! BLACK!
 
I AM BLACK!!!
 

Gidi

Gidi, you are far away from me
falling apart in the background, disappearing in the socket
i can't be alone
Gidi, you are ignoring me
disappearing into the horizon, it weakens my pulse
the plane takes off - you look healthy
what will be with us in the end?
 
So hold me tight, see me
i want to scream so you won't dare forget
that i'm thinking and dreaming only of you
 
so - Gidi no, you all tell him
Gidi, don't leave here
 
Gidi, the cat is talking to you
and scratches me and rejects the milk
both he and i don't love being alone
 
Gidi, the neighbors are asking me
where is he and just 'whats happening'1
what makes me sad and what will be with me
i want you.
 
So hold me tight, see me
i want to scream so you won't dare forget
that i'm thinking and dreaming only of you
 
so - Gidi no, you all tell him
Gidi, don't leave here
 
Gidi, you'll pay dearly
wander around the area with a poker face
i haven't slept for weeks
Gidi, you'll soon return begging2
walling outside like a stressed cat
so decide now - are you going or coming back
or is this the end
 
Gidi no, you all tell him
Gidi, don't leave here

Giving Up

Believe me, I waited for happiness till the last moment.
Believe me, I gave up on this love right now.
Eyes dont lie,
I know...
You did not want me to leave at all.
Just the sides you heard from about me were wrong.
But you could not, you could not see it in any way.
 
Life dragged you into the wrong place too.
All your wishes came before me.

Autumn

In flames, in autumns set on fire,
my heart burns sometimes,
pure and alone. The wind awakens it,
touches its center and suspends it
in a light that smiles for no one:
so much beauty is set free!
 
I look for some hands,
a presence, a body,
that which tears down walls
and gives life to inebriated forms,
a touch, a song, a twirl, barely a wing

Entrapped it in the water

Versions: #1
There's no love, neither a confession.
No address,
nor empty streets help.
 
I couldn't find it without asking,
maybe I lost my way.
Even if I read it, I can't say your name
because I entrapped you in water.
 
I memorized it by reading and reading
but no matter what I did, I couldn't teach you about love.
I couldn't wake up when I was sleeping next to your
knees even
when I wake up.
 
I couldn't find it without asking,
maybe I lost my way.
Even if I read it, I can't say your name
because I entrapped you in water.
 
Neither birds nor these trees help.
There are so many mornings I spent without seeing.
When I was delusionally repeating love love love,
just when I said I gave up, I lost the way.
 
Even when I cry, I couldn't tell you my problem.
Because I entrapped you in water.
 

This love wont fit in this city

Versions: #1
I dive into bottomless depths.
Someone inside me cries for me.
I'm still a child, I build dreams
in these half enjoyable nights.
 
I hold onto one song to other.
I put one thousand stars on one cherry lip.
Heart goes and falls for the moon.
The body is blood red from head to toe.
 
No solution can be found if I die or stay alive.
This love is impossible, it won't fit in this city.
 
It is an open sea, ports are on my heart.
Your memory comes and goes, goes and comes back.
I know my hope is stubborn to hold on in vain.
My hope can pass as a white sail.
 

The Holy Company*

When at sunset
the last rays of the sun
were playing hiding
the lights and the color
of the forest of loss
Something begins moving
Something is seen in the distance
 
The rain made a whisper out of the sea
and the God of Shadows settled down
The Queen of The Night turned up
Her Majesty The Moon came followed
by a procession of souls in pain
Light carriers
Roses in a coffin
 
At the front they see
a living one with a cross
Well, they need him
to bring death
For I shall able to see him
Don't open the door to anyone, woman,
not until dawn
 
If you hear them arrive
and you want to save your soul
draw a protection circle1 now
Enter it and pray
and don't listen to its voice
Death will make you believe,
that it's me, 'Sweetheart2, open your doors for me'
 

• 1. To avoid receiving the curse of the 'Holy Company', which forces one to lead the procession, one should draw 'Solomon's Circle', a special type of protection circle, on the ground and quickly enter it. Waiting inside the circle until the procession passes protects the participant from being cursed
• 2. Despite its meaning being 'Sky' or Heaven', 'Cielo' can be also used to address a loved one.

Today is our buddy's marriage, today is our buddy's marriage
 

Under

I'll be 'the young' that Magzhan said!*
I'll lead my entourage!
Ruling the country with art,
I live ahead of others!
 
I'll be 'the young' that Magzhan said!
I'll lead my entourage!
Ruling the country with art,
I live ahead of others!
 
I have an instrument, I'll play it a little bit there
For a while the moon shines in the sky
 
86 revolution - you're sleeping at home in the bed!*
Understand your only nationality
I put the song to 'Red Birch'
 
How many different thoughts,
Become the path to dark eyes
Snatched, dragged, exchanged, handcuffed in the dark.
 
I'll be 'the young' that Magzhan said!
I'll lead my entourage!
Ruling the country with art,
I live ahead of others!
 
Kairat Rysqulbekov: 'Ahmet Baitursynov told us:*
My Kazakh, my country, be patient, resist being torn
Your cattle in the despoliation, your soul in captivity, Open your eyes - wake up!
You still don't sleep well?
You wanna sleep, where is your sleeping bag?'
 
To be different
Day after day, flip from style to style
Your people who don't fight won't ride in the name of freedom.
They won't understand, don't feel its taste
Those who have forgotten their home, choose the one that's gone.
When your dreams are shattered 'for the country',
Left ashes are gonna be lit up from black candles in here, in this castle
 
In the meantime, if you don't think, the sun is gonna set!
I shouted 'Wake up!'
Got threatened 'Stop!'
My sweat isn't wasted!
Heroes that share the same wish with the country,
I followed their path,
Told about their 'efforts' loudly but no one listened.
 
I'll be 'the young' that Magzhan said!
I'll lead my entourage!
Ruling the country with art,
I live ahead of others!
 
I'll be 'the young' that Magzhan said!
I'll lead my entourage!
Ruling the country with art,
I live ahead of others!
 
I'll be 'the young' that Magzhan said!
I'll lead my entourage!
Ruling the country with art,
I live ahead of others!
 
I'll be 'the young' that Magzhan said!
I'll lead my entourage!
Ruling the country with art,
I live ahead of others!
 

The Party-Hard Girl from Belén

I party the hardest in my family
The prettiest Black woman ever born
In Havana's neighborhood of Belén
 
I, I am the one who arrives at the party
And when I start dancing with my spongy little waist
I draw all the fearless handsomes
From out of the crowd
 
I've got hot sauce and peppers
In my atomic waist
And when I dance 'rumba' music
Let me leave my own juicy flair on it
 
Because I party the hardest in Belén
Because of my little waist
The men go crazy for me
Because of my little waist
 
(Because of your little waist)
Yeah, I party the hardest in Belén
(Because of your little waist)
Hey, those men go crazy over me
(Because of your little waist)
It's because I have hot sauce and peppers in my walk
(Because of your little waist)
Hey, Belén, Mari Belén, Mari Belén, I could die
(Because of your little waist)
 
They call me the 'guarachera' rhythm lady of Cuba
(Because of your little waist)
Oh, Belén, ay, Belén, Mari Belén, Mari Belén, I could die
(Because of your little waist)
Belén, Belén, Belén, Belén, Belén, Belén...

Hunting Season

Versions: #1
Endowed with magnificence
By God himself, a vamp was created
From a good family1, spoiled and clever
The gravestone for ballsy players2
She pursues the trends, she’s dangerous
Obscene, vulgar, overpowering and honest
Seductive, whorish and provocative
The slut has you well in hand
 
I’m small, my heart is pure
Don’t you wanna be my toy?
 
[chorus:]
Hunting season, it’s hunting season
So run! Run, baby, run!
 
The bitch who everyone knows by name
The hook on which your heart already hangs
 
Run, run baby, run
 
Her smile as real as her tits
Magnet for men with big cars
She pours on the charm, and makes you hot
Her love is fickle and sinfully costly
The knockout who wipes the floor with you
The snake who serves you every lie ice cold
 
The bitch who everyone knows by name
The fuse that’s gonna burn your ass
 
I’m small, my heart is pure,
Don’t you wanna be my victim?
 
[Chorus]
 
The chick who runs roughshod over you3
The blonde poison that consumes your heart
 
Hunting season, run baby, run
 
Vulgar bitch, cunning minx
In bed you’ve got your hand at the helm
Your lips, your mouth, your sex
Your spirit has bewitched me
 
Your eyes, your scent, your hair, your knowledge,
Your power, your chains, your filth, my conscience
Your quirks, my hands, your gaze
Your madness, my desire, your fucking
 
[Chorus]
 
The broad that eternally entices and calls
The prey that seeks vastness
 
Run, run baby, run!
 
The trail is fresh, ready to pounce
Schlachtfest4 in the clearing
 
Run, run baby, run!
 

• 1. German says from a good house, but as the same implications as this English phrase, meaning someone from a rich, upper-class, well educated background
• 2. A 'Stecher' can be used either derogatorily or congratulatorily to refer to a woman's sexual partner. Player seemed the closest equivalent. There's a unique meaning in the German that doesn't translate though - a 'Stecher' is an engraver, or someone who would inscribe a tombstone so the German implies the player is making their own grave as well
• 3. 'mit jemanden schlitten fahren' is an idiom meaning to treat someone harshly, bully them, or be inconsiderate. Since the German involved 'driving your sled' I chose 'run roughshod over' as a somewhat similar English expression.
• 4. When used in English, Schlachtfest is rarely translated. It literally means 'slaughter festival' and involves a pigroast.

Yalla Bye!

And at night at my sister's
on her white balcony
she explained to me detail by detail
how the son of a bitch left
 
So i said there are a few basic rules
that always protect me
let me only donate to you two words
Yalla1Bye
 
No, don't make a scene for him
no, it's not worthwhile
if it's over tell the boy
you said that it's enough so Yalla Bye
 
It's true that he always made
chinese food as well as pie
so eat this month from a box
and Yalla Bye
 
No, don't make a scene for him...
 
And that you should never request
'Perhaps just give me another chance'
so you will have a few difficult days
and Yalla Bye!
 
No, don't make a scene for him...
 

• 1. Arabic, slang - get going, OMG

Better later

Versions: #1
It would be something if I could care less
Maybe it would be easier in here then
Struggling to answer the phone when you call
Seems i possible to make you understand how I remember it
 
When a word can become so large, I'm breaking, burning up
When things go wrong, they go wrong, they go wrong
Wanted to turn off the light and sleep it all away
 
Maybe there is no heaven
Things should be better, should be better
I'm not like this because I want to
I cry too often, it always feels like Monday morning, and everything starts over
I haven't cleaned at all, I just got lost in dreams
Maybe there is no heaven
But hey, tell me again, that things will be better later on
 
I don't want to say things if they might make you sad
I've become good at just backing out and leaving the party
Don't have a car, no kids, don't live like my friends do
Just trying to decide how I feel
 
Like breathing without air, I'm afraid to take you with me
No, things go wrong, they go wrong, they go wrong
Usually turn off the light and sleep it all away
 
Maybe there is no heaven
Things should be better, should be better
I'm not like this because I want to
I cry too often, it always feels like Monday morning, and everything starts over
I haven't cleaned at all, I just got lost in dreams
Maybe there is no heaven
But hey, tell me again, that things will be better later on
 
It would be something if I could keep track of the time (ADHD!)
Have never been good at things I have to do, but faking happiness
 
But I know I am myself and I have the courage to feel that
If things go wrong, they go wrong, they go wrong
I can turn off the light and sleep it all away
 
Maybe there is no heaven
Things should be better, should be better
I'm not like this because I want to
I cry too often, it always feels like Monday morning, and everything starts over
I haven't cleaned at all, I just got lost in dreams
Maybe there is no heaven
But hey, tell me again, that things will be better later on
Please tell me again, that things will be better later on
 

Two strangers in the town

Gaze of where we ended up at the end
We are two strangers more in that town
We are enemies who are competing, one against the other
So, we can see who, of the two of us, can resist more time
 
Everything went out of hands
Our love has left the equation
There was something we weren't able to discover
Where did we go wrong?
 
And the truth is that we're not the same, we've changed
It's time to take a breath and start a new paragraph
 
Nobody has died for being in love
I get to know all of your secrets and I know what your blind spot is
and I know the weakness you're hidding, because you are afraid
of dealing with our own reality
 
And if I am asking you to go on a break
Is because I'm lacking air and my only yearning is
You and I make a clean break before this became a hell
Before we could hurt ourselves set me free
 
I wouldn't want to be in your place
You know that all the things you have done weren't right
There is no way to win against karma
 
And the truth is that we're not the same, we've changed
It's time to take a breath and start a new paragraph
 
Nobody has died for being in love
I get to know all of your secrets and I know what your blind spot is
and I know the weakness you're hidding, because you are afraid
of dealing with our own reality
 
And if I am asking you to go on a break
Is because I'm lacking air and my only yearning is
You and I make a clean break before this became a hell
Before we could hurt ourselves set me free
 
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
 
Nobody has died for being in love
I get to know all of your secrets and I know what your blind spot is
and I know the weakness you're hidding, because you are afraid
of dealing with our own reality
 
And if I am asking you to go on a break
Is because I'm lacking air and my only yearning is
You and I make a clean break before this became a hell
Before we could hurt ourselves set me free
 
Gaze of where we ended up at the end
We are two strangers more in that town
