Jó reggelt Baltimore

O, o, o
Felébredtem ma,
ahogy mindig szoktam
O, o, o
Éhesen valamire,
Amit nem ehetek meg
Aztán hallom a taktust
A város ritmusát
Hívogat, hogy jöjjek le
Akár egy üzenet a
messzi magasból
O, o, o
Kihúz engem
A mosolyokhoz és az
Utcákra, mit úgy imádok
 
Jó reggelt, Baltimore
Minden nap, akár egy nyitott ajtó
Minden éjjel egy mese
Minden úgy hangzik, mint egy szimfónia
 
Jó reggelt, Baltimore
S egy nap, mikor a parkettre lépek
A világ ébred majd és csak nézik
Baltimore-t és engem
 
O, o, o
Nézd csak a frizum
Milyen akarat tudna versenyre kelnu vele ma?
O, o, o
Kéznél a hajlakkom és a rádió
Kész vagyok indulni
A patkányok az utcán
Mind táncot lejtenek a lábam körül
Mintha azt mondanák
'Tracy, csak rajtad áll'
Így, o, o
Ne tarts vissza
Hiszen ma végre minden álmom valóra válik
 
Jó reggelt, Baltimore
Itt a szomszéd, mutogatós bácsi
Itt meg füstölögnek a székeken a bárjában
Mind sok sikert kívánnak iskolába menet
Jó reggelt, Baltimore
S egy nap, mikor a parkettre lépek
A világ ébred majd és csak nézik
Baltimore-t és engem
 
Tudok minden lépést
Tudok minden dalt
Tudom, hogy ez a hely, ahová tartozom
Látom az összes parti fényét, ahogy felettem ragyognak
Szóval valaki hívjon meg
Mielőtt holtan esnék össze (mielőtt holtan esne össze)
 
Így, o, o
Adj egy esélyt
Hiszen amint táncolni kezdek, olyan vagyok akár egy filmsztár
O, o, o
Valami idebent hajt, hogy mozduljak
Mikor hallom a ritmust
Anyám mondja állj
Lábam mondja, szállj!
Akár egy dobos a szívemben
O, o, o
Ne várass tovább
Egy percet se, hogy elkezdődjön az életem
 
Jó reggelt, jó reggelt
Várom, hogy elkezdődjön az életem
Szeretlek, Baltimore
Minden nap, akár egy nyitott ajtó
Minden éjjel egy mese
Minden úgy hangzik, mint egy szimfónia
És ígérem, Baltimore
Aznap, mikor a
parkettre lépek
A világ ébred majd és csak nézni fogja (nézni)
Ébred majd és csak nézni fogja (ébred majd és csak nézni fogja)
Baltimore-t és engem (igen, többé kevésbé, mind egyetértünk)
Baltimore-t és engem (egy nap ébred majd és csak nézni fogja)
Baltimore-t és engem

The Last Goodbye

I know you want to stay with me.
I would also like to stay here
but soon a train will leave
and carry me away from you.
 
This is the last goodbye
for I will go far away
but your love, you know,
I take it away—
I take it away with me.
 
You my love think of me then.
God willing, I will return.
 
~~~~~
 
This is the last goodbye

but your love, you know,
I take it away—
I take it away with me.
 
You my love think of me then.
God willing, I will return—
I will return—
I will return—
hmmm...

I have no rudder

I'm not of those who you'll see crying
For something that had to end.
I apologize if I was wrong
There's no remorse if I already forgot
Because I'm like a boat adrift
 
I played many games without a reason
I've been where I didn't imagine
And it's not about winning or losing
When there's truth, there's nothing to fear
Because I'm like a boat adrift
I have no rudder

Nostalgic writer

It's not like he's always been offended
On this wall, I have hung every doubt
You are not sure if you start from scratch
I've changed too many times, and now I don't remember what I was like
The strength from before,
where did it go, greedy, stupid life,
now you lose flavor, even uphill,
I calm my anger, squeezing my fingers
You ask me why I feel anger
if in the end I had the world
A family, it doesn't look like me
I escape from sense with a bottle
The bitter defeats that I lost alone
The bitter victories to fill the void
Our moments, what I'm wrong
What I have good inside instead
The disappointed faces to which I apologize
I'm fed up, I only love 3 faces out of 1100
that I knew
Don't ask me yet what remains and how long it lasts
Nostalgic writer, this pen is my cure
Spin the wheel and my turn,
now slow to arrive, I send fuck the world
So I understand
how is it supposed to work
 
Tell me what can I do
Not to live halfway yet
I have already begun to hope
Find a reason to change
But it will start again tomorrow
The usual dissatisfaction
 
What I've always been looking for
This is what I have not always found,
you, call me careless, I insist
until I have victory in my fingers
of this game
And little by little, I reach yet another outburst
And I struggle while swimming
The goal is far away and the usual Void is growing
I make strange speeches
I undertake foreign paths
And I collapse in front of the mirror
When I notice it inside my eyes
There is nothing
Of what you love
Come on, where is the life I dreamed of
I had a dream, but that dream overtook me
It doubled me
Take me where the eyes don't look
To express yourself well
Saving myself from this place is the only way to
Stay together
I hate their faces, their ways
Their fictions
I hate those who pray at night
For a better future,
Who protests all hours
I hate myself when I stay
In the crowd distracted, white, tired on the corner,
I had a happy part,
I stepped on it yesterday in the mud
I sing,
Why so far this first half
Ends at a disadvantage
And to recover
Now it's not enough for me to dream
 
What you are searching for
What you are searching for
What are you searching for in a world
Which is not what you want
What you are searching for
Tell me what you are looking for
In this world that's not what you want
 
What do you expect
Tell me what you expect
In this world that's not what you want
What do you expect
Tell me what you expect in this world
Which is not what you want
 
Tell me what can I do
*
I have already begun to hope
Find a reason to change
But tomorrow, it will start again,
The usual dissatisfaction
 
Tell me what can I do
*
I have already begun to hope
Find a reason to change
But tomorrow, it will start again,
The usual dissatisfaction

The Last Ride Of The Carousel

Romances always end
Sometimes because of tedium, sometimes for nothing
They burn out without a real reason
Like a candle, street lamp's amnesia
 
Romances are just over
As it's happened to us one year ago
How it happens we submit
To this fade of bodies and dreams
I could live and survive
With twenty drops to sleep
I was able to pretend to myself also to dominate the desire to die
 
And now you come back like a comet
Which seems coming from another planet
You would like to talk with me but it's just an excuse
Enormous lie of a little rose
But maybe you're right, as always
'Cause it's never enough the evil wanted
There is just the time to live what remains
Last ride of the carousel
 
Ended romances have an eternal thrill
But they not come back, like the rivers
And they run to the peace of the sea
Where another romance will be able to forgive them
 
I gave you my soul
And among each tear I gave you the time ti be woman
I could believe to your hurry to become mother
 
And now you come back like cut grass
Of who was been in the bed on another planet
But you must pay me to fuck you
It has not sense with you without love
We also made millions of mistakes
But a wind pushes us to the rocks
Stopping would be the right choice
But this detail is not enough for you
And maybe you're right, as always
'Cause it's never enough the evil wanted
There is just the time to live what remains
Last ride of the carousel
 
Romances like our
End when the carousel stops

Elegia

The son drank for another month
And at the beautiful dawn
He convulsed, crying
Now the liquor would win
 
Then mother entered the room
Hearing the lamentation
Quietly she looked at the drunk
Pale as death
 
She closed the curtains
Sat on a chair
As her son coughed
Blood on the floor
 
There was nothing to say
A hand was not reaching for the other
Mothers look went out
To the morning sun
 
So passed an hour, and another
And the sons bed went quiet
So mother got dressed
And pulled boots on
 
Crossed the field
To the neighbours house
Carefully stepped in
To the faint light
 
She was not in a hurry
There was only one concern
'Please call the church
my son just died'

Good day

Today is a good day
Day of realization
Today is a good day
To finish the job
 
Today I hate myself
I understand what I am
I know where I came from
And where I'm going
 
Today everything glimmers
In bright lights
Today is a good day
To see through the smiles
 
Today the lovely sun
Burns the liars
Today is a good day
The final day

Always Loved

You know maybe it's true
In these evenings, I thought about it
I am always so careless
And the desire increases in the head
For fell me in distance
But distance you know I can't stand it
Love is only imagined
It's a step not be taken yet
And it's not doing it, you know the secret
But if everything stays inside
Then the life you know asks the bill to you
And then it seems a little strange to me
The world is a game in hand
 
Get yourself something, go ahead miss
Come on, just let me do it, I'm the usual idiot
But with the face of a liar
And with a hearth of baby
You know, I always dream of touching you
But then I wake up in the pillow
And you take with you everything
Don't look at me with those eyes
Always alive in my lyrics
Which sent me the memories
It still hurts me now
But you always loved
I can hear you in the sentences of people walking
While talking about topics
To whom perhaps he did not believe before
When I try to change my life in the morning in a few hours
Please always loved
Remember that loved always
 
And give me life in my hands
As if I were passing the room
As if I wanted the heart
And the heart to know it, you just need another one inside
And then it seems a little strange to me
The world is a game in hand
 
And then away from this sky that contains its planets
The ones I sang loud when I wanted but you weren't there
And let our time not always walk in time
The more you think about a wish, the more he turns into wind
And people looked at us like we were two aliens
And I am used to exposing my secrets
I confess that I never look at his eyes closely
Because then I crash into it
And I don't notice that I breathe
And turn off the light that I can't stand on my feet
Then turn it off and I see little
But everything is in my hands
I can't see you but I can feel you and the bed has become sea
You get close and I can't stay close to you without loving
Please always loved
Please always loved
Remember, you always loved

Story of a man

Ah, I was a step away from being a grown-up
And a step may be huge one
'Come on, come on' the ones by my side tell me
She is a flower that lights March up
I've always written for something strong
The wind takes my cards away with it, tired faces
You would lose if you could, with no excuses
Listen, we are slaves of small gestures
And 'feel free' he repeated to her
While she laid her eyes on the sky
Child of a black heartbeat
You can list our defects
I'm obsessed with them too
Like with your not so rebel ways
Compared to me cause I live looking at drawings
'Are you happy?' she asked him curling her hair
And here what has been doesn't matter
Only what's left matters
But how can you erase the memory of the sun
In those who now live without a window
You can't do it, no
you can't do it, no
 
But it's the story of a man
Who left by chance
Looking for love
In the wrong place
He found his woman
And asked her a smile
But she didn't answer, no
And kept going on her way
And since that day he says
Nai, na nai, na na nai na nai
And since that day says
Nai, na nai, na na nai na nai
And since that day says
 
Says that he doesn't find a meaning anymore and this place is cold
He wandered for days like winter rains and falls from above
This world is an asshole and so wears someone else's life
She wears high heels and doesn't care about anything
When you're beautiful some things don't even matter to you, it's right
Everyone has their dose of fortune
Love is lack
You love what you don't have
Like the day loves the Moon
And he calls her from afar
He's desperate, 'you're drunk' she tells him
The Sun has just arrived
'How could I not be?'
Look at me, I have the eyes of a great memeory, but I lived in a hurry
And I have tears on my face, yes I know that it's stupid
I've always hated everyone and now I'm crying for you
And I feel like a child, maybe I am deep down
But I crossed the sea just to have you close to me
 
But it's the story of a man
Who left by chance
Looking for love
In the wrong place
He found his woman
And asked her a smile
But she didn't answer, no
And kept going on her way
And since that day he says
Nai, na nai, na na nai na nai
And since that day says
Nai, na nai, na na nai na nai
And since that day says
Nai, na nai, na na nai na nai
And since that day says
Nai, na nai, na na nai na nai

The station of memories

My heart is flying and you should feel carefree
I hit life hard and I've been doing it for all my life
I never feel right, in these indifferent situations
I laugh, look at my defects like they're perfect
If I had my father's eyes I'd try to think
But I was born with the will to overdo and the need to fly
You said 'Close your eyes, don't think about it'
But those like me close their eyes just to get far
To get far from what, it's always the same here
You feel the need to change and the ones who change are the ones who aren't here anymore
I remember nights in a parking area, empty beers on the instrument panel
We talked, yes, but without ever paying a check
We are the ones with no excuses, with a past on fire
The ones who speak with everyone, but it's nothing important
Cause the beautiful things are inside and deserve stars
We are all Giusy, inside which skin is the only thing that changes
I could sing for a hundred years and I'd say the same things
And it's not monotony, it's my personal shelter
Don't ask me anything, tonight we feel good
Take some of your memories and then mix them together
 
I'd want to talk about her too, but without exaggerating
Cause the sky is there looking at us and we are ants fed to a cruel world
Then a pair of blue eyes is enough and everything comes back
The heart comes back, in its place where there's warmth
I felt like singing but just what I had inside
I feel that the more I feel empty and the more I'm full inside
I remember there on the terrace, fifth floor, above everyone
Spending nights in rooms where you can't see everyone very well
And with the hand, and with the hand, and with the hand you move the smoke away, cause it burns your eyes
Feeling last but smiling cause today has gone by too
Mum, mum, mum I let you down many times and it's not victimism
I saw you crying and I curse the day when you didn't see me anymore
When you came home from work and there was that silence
And the teachers shouting at you 'your son is rotten inside'
But what do they know, what do they all know
I lived my life only by my own choices
And I'll pay the price in ten years, or maybe even tomorrow
But the winner is who wakes up, lives, dies and hopes, always in his own hands.

White butterfly

There's a white butterfly that tries to swim
She looks like someone who knows that the world lies
I'd want to give her more than what I can
Make her feel more than what she feels
A butterfly lands on the shoulder
Today I'll sit and listen to her
Then she says it isn't time to talk
Cause then tomorrow she has another life to meet
She says please take me to the sea
I'd just need to understand
If it's right to live what's left
 
And I'd take you
I'd take you
In a place inside
In a place inside
And I'd take you
I'd take you
In a place inside
In that place inside of me
 
A butterfly lands on the shoulder and I
Can't give her other than a goodbye
Cause her destiny is as fragile as strenght
But she says that today flies and it's there the richness
She puts in a minute twenty years of things
In the end time is what we give to it
Of those wings who knows what will be left in a hundred years
She tells me 'I leave the dream to fly to children'
But now please, take me to the sea
Whatever place as long as it's somewhere else
Where words aren't needed anymore
 
And I'd take you
I'd take you
In a place inside
In a place inside
And I'd take you
I'd take you
In a place inside
In that place inside of me

Swallows on a leash

Versions: #2
Take me to feel the waves of the sea
Bring me things far away
Take me wherever there is enough room
For a beer and some old regrets
And take me to hear the wind
So much would you return at any time
Take me anywhere, as long as there is room
For a smile and some old regrets
 
Where you want, not where you know
Where you exist and you are not there
 
bring me with you
bring me with you
Where everything changes
Where the world does not touch me
And take me with you
bring me with you
Where my luggage is light
Where you love me even if I'm wrong
Where it flies and rebels
Each swallow on a leash
 
And take me to safety but without talking
And let your way of doing it do it
Bring me to a bridge over there
Combining your pain with your usual charm
And bring me please where you prefer
Where if you set foot in a moment you exist
Because there is no answer to things past
You lead me to love the things you never loved
 
And where you want, not where you know
Where you exist and you are not there
 
You take me with you
bring me with you
Where everything changes
Where the world does not touch me
And take me with you
bring me with you
Where my luggage is light
Where you love me even if I'm wrong
Where it flies and rebels
Each swallow on a leash
 
Where the sky moves if you look at it carefully
Where an intense minute is enough to live forever
Where it rains but you go out to wet your mind
Because if life is ours it hinders us nothing
Where you have two empty pages instead of feet
And every step you take they write notes
Where the sun is a hypothesis and you can only think so
But that's enough for you to fill yourself with ideas to nourish it
When it is spring
 
You take me with you
bring me with you
Where everything changes
Where the world does not touch me
And take me with you
bring me with you
Where my luggage is light
Where you love me even if I'm wrong
Where it flies and rebels
Each swallow on a leash

When it's raining outside

The fairy tales' fault
They have always deluded me a little
When it's raining outside
Because the world has always disappointed me a little
The music's fault
It has turned my eyes a little bitter
I watch the sun outside
And I close myself off in a breath
You know, too often I wonder where does a flower end up
When you run inside a meadow
And words are of no use to you
 
I was wondering how are you
It's already been a while since we last spoke
I'd like to take you to the sea
But I don't have any more beautiful words
Because time has taken everything
And it has taken our love as well
I'd like to speak to you like I used to
With the same passion
But when you live together for too long something goes away
And I never feel worthy
of being with you
 
It's the life's fault
It has laid me in this place without asking before
at least a classical 'may I?'
And I never manage
to pretend it is alright
You say 'you will regret it'
You know, too often I wonder where does a flower end up
When you run inside a meadow
And... and words are of no use to you
 
I was wondering how are you
It's already been a while since we last spoke
I'd like to take you to the sea
But I don't have any more beautiful words
Because time has taken everything
And it has taken our love as well
I'd like to speak to you like I used to
With the same passion
But when you live together for too long something goes away
And I never feel worthy
of being with you

The Fairy Tales' Fault

It's the fairy tales' fault
That you are not with me anymore
That I walk along the road when
There's just no road
That I can't manage to be great
and I fall in love in private
Because I delude myself into believing that people
are more than what they are
 
It's the fairy tales' fault
That I smile without a reason
That when I look at the sky I see
a face and I think of you
And it's not my fault, as you say
If at night I dream a little
At day I'll dream more
 
It's fault of the things
that I've always postponed
just to joke around a bit
and just what use is joking around?
And I only wish I had been
a little less of an absentee
So I could look you in the eye
And tell you, my love, now stay
Because it's the fairy tales' fault
That this is now my life
 
It's the rules' fault
I've never imposed them
And I've lived under the weight
Of teachers and then psychologists
Who said come on, try
not to be so absent-minded
for life does not come back
and if you get lost you're screwed
 
It's fault of the nights
when there was no calmness for me
And I had dreams so I could have you
And at least you seemed real there
And it's not my fault
As you say
If at night I dream a little
At day I'll dream more
 
It's fault of the music
which has made me too detached
I am a sun-ray which from the sun
won't jump and stays in the warmth
And I answer to my fears
That I am not this body
My love, it's not the rain's or the clouds' fault
That I speak little, know it's only
The fairy tales' fault

That House We Had in Mind

I stay but I can't manage
I speak about something but I don't speak
and I contradict everything that I touch
The world is a big place but not too much
 
So that a second is enough for me
and I go back, like it is no big deal,
to that place so much awaited for, as much
as much as a word if I don't speak
 
And I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you
but, I beg you, the way you used to be
with your child face
And I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you
but, I beg you, the way you used to be
looking as someone who is in a queue
absently waiting for their turn
thinking that in the end it will come anyway
 
You hold too big of a place
and, of course, now it's weird not to talk about
that house we had in mind,
far from the road, surrounded by green
 
Do you remember, you were always cold
and I was too but I've never admitted it to you
because our story lives in these things
in all the things we don't say but still stay
 
I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you
but, I beg you, the way you used to be
with your child face
I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you
but, I beg you, the way you used to be
looking as someone who is in a queue
absently waiting for their turn
thinking that in the end it will come anyway

The last

She hurt the two of us
And I don't see her feel guilty
Well the sequel to his deception
It makes her feel superior
 
Until we were enemies
In discord for her love
We fell ugly in her claws
We don't know who was the bigger idiot between you and me
 
The last fools, a song
Where I sent her to hell and died
I hope she suffers like that in raw flesh
For all her crimes
 
The last that we saw was her inside
Inside is malignant, black is the heart
She has the skills to tie you up
Dressed as an angel
 
I propose a truce, I don't want to be your rival
For that damn woman who has paid us badly
It's late but you have to know that it's not worth it
Bring us tequila, whiskey, and a liter of rum
Today we prepare an orgy of bachatas and liquor
These kings don't want pain from a supposed queen
 
We share the penalties, misfortune and condemnation
Of being the finalists that the brunette deceived
 
Kneeling intoxicated with a rose in the hands
I ask God to punish her
That he doesn't take pity on her, on her
 
Hopefully the devil will take her and we will enjoy it
Because she played with you and with me
It is good misfortune
Let the hell burn
We are going to celebrate

My Last Bolero

Listen to my last bolero,
that I sing with my soul, inspired by you.
 
I want people to know,
That all of my love was always for you.
 
I take your love to infinity,
full of great happiness.
 
Listen to my last bolero,
that I sing with my soul, inspired by you.
 
I take your love to infinity,
full of great happiness.
 
Listen to my last bolero,
that I sing with my soul, inspired by you.

The Last Dreamer

A river without a bed—
a field without flowers—
a face without a name.
 
A day without sun—
a sky without stars—
the world without love.
 
The hot wind of summer—
friend of many years ago—
sunrises with a ruby sun.
 
Beautiful days of serenity—
on the roofs, songbirds,
to embroider melodies.
 
But time
has erased everything—
unfortunately that is so today.
 
But I am convinced
it cannot end everything—
it cannot end badly.
 
They will return—
the beautiful springtimes—
and love will be victorious.
 
The hot wind of summer—
friend of many years ago—
I recall how it was yesterday—
I burst with happiness.
 
The long rivers run to the seashore—
the nostalgia of the first 'no'—
I will be a deluded dreamer
but one day everything will change.
 
The long rivers run to the seashore—
the nostalgia of the first 'no'—
I will be a deluded dreamer
but one day everything will change.

The Ultimate Romantic

The ultimate: I am the ultimate romantic—
the one who can bring you flowers,
and know what you feel, just from the look on your face,
or the tremor of your hand—to know if you love me.
 
The ultimate: the ultimate romantic in the world
who can be moved upon seeing two doves
making love on a piazza, ignoring the people
who almost trample them in haste while rushing by.
 
Why, if a rose is a rose
no matter where in the world, must I change?
Why, if the sea and the sky,
the sun and the wind never change?
 
Why, if love has been love
since the beginning of time, must I change?
Why, since there are already so many things
that change--but love does not?
 
The ultimate: the ultimate romantic in the world
who can be moved upon seeing two young people
kissing in the piazza, ignoring other people—
just as we are doing now—just as the two of us are doing now.
 
Why, if a rose is a rose
no matter where in the world, must I change?
Why, if the sea and the sky,
the sun and the wind never change?
 
Why, if love has been love
since the beginning of time, must I change?
Why, since there are already so many things
that change--but love does not?
 
La la la la la la la...

The Ultimate Romantic

Versions: #2
The ultimate:
I am the ultimate romantic—
the one who can
bring you flowers,
and know what you feel,
just from the look on your face,
or the tremor of your hand--
to know if you love me ...
 
The ultimate:
The ultimate romantic in the world
who can be moved
upon seeing two doves
making love on a piazza.
They ignore the people
who almost trample them
in haste while rushing by.
 
Why …
a rose is a rose
no matter where in the world
 
I must change
Why …
if the sea and the sky, the sun and the wind,
they never change--
Why …
 
If love has been love
since the beginning of time
must I change …
 
Why …
there are already so many things
that change--
but love does not ...
 
The ultimate:
The ultimate romantic in the world
who can be moved
upon seeing two lovers
kissing in the piazza.
They ignore other people--
just as we are doing now--
just as the two of us are doing now.

Maya's Alphabet: T - Timotej

Imagine in the arms of nature
Where even blades of grass have a name
The most beautiful is Timotej
A name that would suit me!

For a moment

Every time I die a little
When I know I'll lose
I'm sorry
What they blabber about
It's charm school
I don't like it hey-oh
Put your hands up if you know how to
Stand still
A dream
I crave it
 
There ain't a voice screaming harder
There ain't no greater weapon
Than a dream
You change the world
 
I'd like for tomorrow
Than those far away
Would come closer
And fearlessly
Without excuses
Like we were
one even just for a moment.
 
They teach us war
We want some more
Because we dig it,
hurting
Sayin no
Is so much simpler by the way
I don't like it
 
Put your hands up if you know how to
Stand still
A dream
I crave it
 
There ain't a voice screaming harder
There ain't no greater weapon
Than a dream
You change the world
 
I'd like for tomorrow
Than those far away
Would come closer
And fearlessly
Without excuses
Like we were
one even just for a moment.
 
No, not now
I want to be right
Don't tell me you don't want it
If what's left
Is a song and nothing more
I'll sing it more
 
Put your hands up if you know how to
Stand still
A dream
I crave it
 
There ain't a voice screaming harder
There ain't no greater weapon
Than a dream
You change the world
 
I'd like for tomorrow
Than those far away
Would come closer
And fearlessly
Without excuses
Like we were
one even just for a moment.
Uuuuh
for a moment-oh-ah-uh
Yeah
for a moment

Tell Me A Lie

When you don't love me anymore
When I have to leave
Don't have mercy upon me
 
You're not hurting
My soul waiting
Don't pretend to love me
 
How many times did I dream of this
Or imagined it
I always thought of the two of us
And if I let you down
I'm sorry, I always tried
You were everything to me, love
 
If you give me more of your kisses
If you give me more of your lips
Maybe you won't want to come back
If I give you more of my kisses
If I give you more of my lips
Maybe you won't want to leave me
 
If you give me more of your kisses
If you give me more of your lips
Maybe you won't want to come back
If I give you more of my kisses
If I give you more of my lips
Don't leave me
 
Tell me a lie again
You know I would never notice with that smile
Pierce my skin
You know I would never expect it, expect it from you

Hannah and Gretel's Wedding Waltz

I love the deep lines that cover your restless hands
I love stretching the gentle intricacy of your skin
 
And my lips love to touch your wet and enlogated tongue
From you I got my existance, this life of mine
 
Each minute of every hour
Each little spring and early fall
We were so radiant and young like the heavens
 
Each little gasp I ever breathe
Breathing together until the end
We were together, we were together eternally
 
A life together we traveled with each other at our sides
Evenings and mornings together, I spent them next to you
 
Loving you each and every single day and night
I loved you even more than I love life itself
 
Each minute of every hour
Each little spring and early fall
We were so radiant and young like the heavens
 
Each little gasp I ever breathe
Breathing together until the end
We were together, we were together eternally

The last day of the Earth

There is nothing to understand,
you just have to calm down.
You have tears that taste sweet.
Where do you escape like that in the middle of the night?
You only have to swear to me
that you will never do it again.
If not, I am suffering, eh, ah-oh
 
The stars are falling over the rooftops of Milan,
maybe we should make love
in this seventh floor room.
Asteroids come down from the sky like ships,
maybe we should hug each other again.
Maybe we should go back to Rome,
for the last, uoh-oh
 
Come on, nothing happened,
there's no reason to stay
all day long with that moon face.
And do not write me that you love me,
that you don't want to go back anymore,
that you don't want to suffer anymore,
because that's not fair, eh, ah-oh
 
The stars are falling over the rooftops of Milan,
maybe we should make love
in this seventh floor room.
Asteroids come down from the sky like ships,
maybe we should hug each other again.
Maybe we should go back to Rome,
for the last, uoh-oh,
for the last, uoh-oh,
day of the Earth.
(This is a song that I wrote for you)
(So when you hear it you will start crying)
Day of the Earth
(Then we make peace and you don't want to hurt me anymore...)
Day of the Earth
Day of the Earth
 
The stars are falling over the rooftops of Milan,
maybe we should make love
in this seventh floor room.
Asteroids come down from the sky like ships,
maybe we should hug each other again.
Maybe we should go back to Rome.

Testimony

I'm not giving up my existence
Like a dying man in the flesh
The sorrow doesn't remain behind
 
A victim to whom loss now sticks
 
I am the witness to my mortality
The witness to my own death
Here I am and I just watch myself
Death spreads over me
 
I am a witness to my death1
I am a witness to my death
I am a witness to my death
I am a witness to my death
 
As a true witness to my own death
I experience dying, here in my own body
Oh, as a true witness to my own death
Oh, I experience dying here and now in myself, ah, ah, ah
 
My street doesn't end there at the gate
To step through it is forbidden to the body
But my body will finally set me free, me free, me free
Trapped here inside myself
Where death can't get me
 
No peace, no going back
No comfort and no sorrow
No peace, no going back
No comfort and no sorrow
 
I am a witness to my death
I am a witness to my death
I am a witness to my death
I am a witness to my death
 
I am a witness to my death
I am a witness to my death
I am a witness to my death
I am a witness to my death
 
As a true witness to my own death
I experience dying, here in my own body
As a true witness to my own death
Oh, I experience dying, here in my own body
 
I am a witness to my death
I am a witness to my death
I am a witness to my death
I am a witness to my death
 
  • 1. From the German text, I'm assuming this is what is meant here, in which case it should be 'Testis sum meo morti'. For 'It is witness to my death': 'Testis est meo morti'. Any suggestions welcome.

The vase

Once there was a vase
It lived above the wood
And I met it
And treated when I was a child
I painted it blue
Because I loved the stars
And I filled it with flowers
Because I hated death
We used to joke
And make fun of the passers-by
So stupid and banal
Closed in their ideals
But what is more beautiful
Than a vase that promises you
To protect the flowers
That you gave it
 
And one day that vase
With a blow of wind
Broke and fell on the floor
I tried to piece it together
I believed I did
And at the beginning I deceived myself
That it could
Be the same as before
After all everything fixes itself
You only need to wait
You only need to wait
You only need to die
But then the warps
I started to notice them
And the vase was accusing me
I should have stopped
That blow of wind
That made it fall
It is not happy any more
And I am not able to love any more
 
And from this experience
I learned one thing
When a vase falls
Take a broom and a dustpan
Rest the soul in peace
 
The vase
The vase I painted blue
The vase that is not the same as before, no, no
That is not the same as before, no
The vase is not any more
The vase is not any more
The vase is not the same as before
Is not the same as before, eh
The vase is not any more, eh
And it is not the same as before

The Latest Romance

Versions: #3
I found her when I didn't want to
But searching for my love
was how long it took for me to deserve it
About a month and I don't even know
And even those who see me reading the newspaper
In the bakery line know that I've found you
 
And nobody will say
That it's too late,
That it's so different
From our love
We're the ones who know, little one
Oh, *tell me what is *suffocation and *I can show you
Someone willing to accompany you
And if the case is going to the beach
I'll take this whole house in a bag...
 
I found her and tried to doubt it,
So many cliches
It can't be.
You told me
Not to worry
Have faith and see courage in love
And just seeing you there
I feel like trading
My TV for a way
to take you anywhere
you feel like going,
and where the wind goes,
'cause for the two of us
to leaving home is
already adventurous
 
Oh, tell me what is comfort and I can show you
Someone willing to accompany you
And if time takes you away, I'll follow time
I'll get a ride
To accompany you

Don't Investigate

For reasons not relating to you
again it just happened to occur,
that many got laid off
and disgraced and shamed.
And neither of course is anyone responsible for that,
'send our regards home, thanks for these past years'
we were told, when beautiful memories
could be swept down the drain.
 
Don't investigate,
don't bother talking shit!
Shut your mouths
and search inside yourselves
Don't investigate,
don't bother talking shit!
Look into my eyes
maybe you can even manage that.
 
How about you talked straight,
making an exception, for once
it's tiresome to try to guess
what might hide underneath the mask.
In this game the most vile thing is
not knowing, from which direction
you get punched in the face
someone else makes a mistake,
in the mirror you see Mr. Perfect.
 
Don't investigate,
don't bother talking shit!
Shut your mouths
and search inside yourselves
Don't investigate,
don't bother talking shit!
Look into my eyes,
maybe you can even manage that

Maybe You'll Sleep

I'm afraid to talk to you while the world sleeps
While the moon rises and the sky welcomes it
I'm afraid because I always miss the words
I'm a child that's lost and never knows where
It's my stupid fragility
When I shut out reality
 
And how do you do it?
Leave the city behind
I stay here
To drink something
In this stupid bar
Maybe you'll sleep
Yes, now you'll sleep
 
You understood that I'm not how you believed
I always send away those who kept me standing
On this road, you ask me: What do you see in me?
The sky is crying, noises on the windows
It's my stupid fragility
When I shut out reality
 
And how do you do it?
Leave the city behind
I stay here
To drink something
In this stupid bar
Maybe you'll sleep
Yes, now you'll sleep
 
And how do you do it?
Leave the city behind
I stay here
To drink something
In this stupid bar
Maybe you'll sleep
Yes, now you'll sleep
 
Now you'll sleep
Yes, now you'll sleep
Now you'll sleep
Yes, now you'll sleep
Maybe you'll sleep

I dedicate silence to you

It feels strange tonight
And I come back home silently
Through the traffic noise
And my phone shut down
And people look at me
But I've got nothing that's true
I just need to think about you and I already can't breathe anymore
For a long time I've been searching for that time I miss
For a long time, you know, I've been thinking time isn't enough for me
You know how expensive it is for you
But I'm just looking for a reason
To feel alive, and it isn't simple
I know how much those far fears weigh on you
You deserve a place to visit too
 
The sky feels strange tonight
I go out home silently
It isn't even dawn, but I can't think of sleeping
I'm just trying to understand you
And I can't sleep without thinking about it
If only I had any peace I could be like them
For a long time I've been searching for that time I miss
For a long time, you know, I've been thinking time isn't enough for me
I know how expensive it is for you
But I'm just looking for a reason
To feel alive, and it isn't simple
I know how much those far fears weigh on you
You too deserve
 
A place to visit
And I dedicate to you the noise
Of these useless words
A painting without its colors
Which went away by flying elsewhere
I dedicate silence to you, since you don't understand words anyway
Tonight I'll try doing it
Tonight I'm calling you
And you won't answer anyway
And even if you answer
You'll say we aren't ready
And I know how much it's expensive for you
But I'm just looking for a reason
To feel alive, and it isn't simple
I know how much those far fears weigh on you
You deserve a place to visit too
 
You deserve a place to visit too

The same things that I did with you

The same things that I did with you
Now they seem stupid
Going to drink in the evening to this isolated place
That seemed a market if you were by my side
The same things that I did with you
Now she wants to repeat them
She enters the car shouting our songs
And I smile in silence and watch her
And later I feel a coward because
I also sing them
To not make her realise that I am already thinking about something else
That I am already thinking about something else
 
But she seems so stupid
You were the real music
But she seems so stupid
You were the real music
And he seems so stupid
You were the real music
 
The same things that I did with you
Now they seem stupid
She who speaks about everything in that formal way
And you who barely knew how to speak
She who says 'smoking does harm, it is wrong'
And you who holded me up when I was drunk
She who says 'I want to make my father proud'
But you cried for having met him
For having met him
 
But she seems so stupid
You were the real music
And he seems so stupid
You were the real music
And he seems so stupid
You were the real music
 
But she seems so stupid
You were the real music
And he seems so stupid
You were the real music
