To you, while my heart

To you, while my heart
with sighs of mine, sends its message:
'My soul' it says to you, 'I burn with love,
my soul, for you I burn with love',
oh, do not be silent,
but answer, at least with your eyes:
'Burn and die, my heart,
for love of you, as I do'.
 

The right direction

I'm here,
In a world that
Spins around in vain
Far away from your sun.
It rains, but I
Will do something
To feel once again
All the warmth I lack now
And have some peace of mind I lack now
And the glow in my eyes I lack now,
The right direction I lack now,
I lack now.
 
What are we supposed to do? When you reach the bottom,
When the world spins around, but you are left alone feeling empty,
When everything's broken except for this mirror,
What do you think? Now you see yourself old.
You run away in circles, night and day feel the same,
You're awake while sleeping, you're dreaming while awake.
While you're waiting for the sun, while you're waiting for the best,
While you're dying because you're alive,
You can write words that flow like a river
To the light of a candle.
It's right there that you suffer, with your hand over your heart.
It's you and the moon, but it doesn't even see you,
You only look for what you can't have.
You drink, but there's a hole in the glass,
I wonder how do they feel those who look at the rain falling.
 
I'm here,
In a world that
Spins in vain
Far away from your sun.
It rains, but I
Will do something
In order to feel once again
All the warmth I lack now
And have some peace of mind I lack now
And the glow in my eyes I lack now,
The right direction I lack now,
I lack now.
 
I created my own world, because
I didn't feel like I really belong to ours.
You called me a cunt because I make the time dirty1,
But it's only because I'm exploding inside and I feel cold among the flames.
No, I don't get angry if you talk behind my back,
Because you'll be left behind if you don't get up, man.
I believe in God, because it's true that something is in me,
I know this for a fact and no, I don't have to prove it to you,
Yeah, to you, I don't have to prove it to you, to you.
You know, I changed my smile, I took advantage of the hype
Just to get to those who are never alright.
If you ask me how I am, it's because you actually already know it.
 
I'm here,
In a world that
Spins in vain
Far away from your sun.
It rains, but I
Will do something
In order to feel once again
All the warmth I lack now
And have some peace of mind I lack now
And the glow in my eyes I lack now,
The right direction I lack now,
I lack now.

At a concert at a disco

You junket until morning, good fun
Don't stop, come on, come on!
You junket until morning, your face is laughing
All together, come on, come on!
You junket until morning, full hall today
Left, right, come on, come on!
You junket until morning, head drunk
Even louder, come on, come on!
 
A great agitation in the disco
Drink after drink, the bartender doesn't know what's going on, ooo...
The night is too short to sit down, time to start the show
Delicious cakes are waiting for you yet
 
You junket until morning, good fun
Don't stop, come on, come on!
You junket until morning, your face is laughing
All together, come on, come on!
You junket until morning, full hall today
Left, right, come on, come on!
You junket until morning, head drunk
Even louder, come on, come on!
 
You hear sounds that caress your body
Everyone around is still not enough, ooo...
In a few words a clear message, life goes on and time is running out
So don't waste your life and don't wait
 
You junket until morning, good fun
Don't stop, come on, come on!
You junket until morning, your face is laughing
All together, come on, come on!
You junket until morning, full hall today
Left, right, come on, come on!
You junket until morning, head drunk
Even louder, come on, come on!
 
And now all hands, all hands up
Even more, even more!
And now all hands, all hands up
Even more, even more!
And now all hands, all hands up
Even more, even more!
And now all hands, all hands up
Even more, even more!
 

Bajo la tormenta

He who wants (to succeed), is able

There’s no me but me

There’s no me but me
 
One more night full of tears on my sullen face for the pile
Today I added another day of constant, neverending life the pile too
Every time I looked forward to “tomorrow” when things might just go well for me,
I hid another “today” behind my dresser
I saw myself in the reflection, a person who’s easily shaken time and again
By hearts that changes in a flash
But the moment I closed my eyes, thinking it wasn’t all so bad,
I actually understood what tomorrow would bring
 
There’s no me but me
Which is obvious
So I’d like to live my life
Clearing out the feelings that aren’t worth it
Isn’t that a normal thing to do?
 
I heard someone say they were worried that I’d broken through my shell
But I’m no longer in that shell I’m supposed to be confined to
Go ahead and try to be me. See?
You wanted to, didn’t you?
Smoke coiled around me through words left unspoken
 
It’s too embarrassing for me to say out loud
But if I just whittled it down
To the things only I’m capable of defending,
Then, that might not actually be all that bad
 
There’s no me but me
Which is obvious
So I’d like to live my life
Clearing out the feelings that aren’t worth it
There’s no me but me
No one can replace me
I threw myself into tomorrow and opened my eyes
Trying not to run away with the today I’d picked out for myself
 
There’s no me but me
Seems you’re much the same
Sounds like you’re irreplaceable too
We fought with our backs to each other
So I’m not scared anymore
I’ll wait for the dead of night to pass
I think today, I’d like to live my life clearing out the feelings that aren’t worth it
I breathed in
 

The Instant

Where will the centuries be, where will the dream
of swords that the Tartars dreamed of,
where the strong walls they leveled,
where the Adam Tree and the other Log?
 
The present is alone. The memory
erects time. Succession and deception
it is the routine of the clock. Year
it is no less vain than vain history.
 
Between dawn and night there is an abyss
of agonies, of lights, of cares

The mulatto

Versions:
With my woggish mulatto's face,
Wandering Jew's or Greek shepherd's
my shock of hair, so dishevelled,
With my faded eyes in my face,
that make me look like a dreamer,
though I now dream not so often,
With my prowler's and lurker's hands,
hands of a rover, musician
that looted so many gardens...
With my mouth that has drunk so much,
that has bitten and kissed and kissed
yet has always remained thirsty..
 
With my woggish mulatto's face,
Wandering Jew's or Greek shepherd's
my robber's face, vagabond's face,
With my skin rubbed but left unhurt
by the sunlight of all summers
and by every bit of skirt..
With my heart that knew how to hurt
as much as it got hurt
without
making too big a fuss for that,
With my soul that hasn't any
more chance of Salvation, really,
to avoid the Purgatory..
 
With my woggish mulatto's face,
Wandering Jew's or Greek shepherd's
my shock of hair that's dishevelled,
I shall call in, sweet captive , you
O , my twin soul, Fountain of youth,
and I'll gulp down your twenty years..
And I'll be a prince for you, dear,
A dreamer or a teenager,
As you like it , or want to choose..
And we'll turn every day we live
into an eternity of love
that we'll enjoy
so much we'll die...

Stillness

Can you still hear me
I'm there
Where we were completely lost
Where you said
That words don't make sense anymore
 
Do you need something?
Can I
Get it for you
I'd like to bring it to you
You have to ask for it
 
Where you are there is
Stillness, stillness, stillness
Like freshly fallen snow
Like a new land
Like the first day
Of the new year
 
There where you are
Stillness, stillness, stillness
Like a sanctuary
Encircling
That nobody understands
But everyone feels
 
I lose myself
Just like you
But I'm worse
Losing myself in you
You always
Were so impossible
 
Are you coming out of me
Lets go out
You show your face
It makes me happy
To see it
You don't have to talk
Just get up
 
Where you are there is
Stillness, stillness, stillness
Like freshly fallen snow
Like a new land
Like the first day
Of the new year
 
There where you are
Stillness, stillness, stillness
Like a sanctuary
Encircling
That nobody understands
But everyone feels
 

Popasul

Cu o înghețată în fața mea
și moartea în minte,
stând la un bar din Piazza Marina,
privesc două muște ce se iubesc pe mâna mea

The Rest Stop

With an ice cream in front of me
and death in the mind
sitting at a bar in Piazza Marina,
I watch two flies love each other on my hand,
like heartbeats
I hear hammers beating on the rails,
I wonder why I live,
what cry or what fall awaits me around the corner,
I remember another hot sun like this
on my shaved head of a soldier,
another wait, another escape, another burrow.
 
Now I pay, I get up,
this day is wrong,
this one and the others before,
I am an unhappy man.
 

I'll drink everyday

Fake laughs these are, I know the fake stands.
It's gonna pass when I turn my back, gonna pass when you go back.
There's something that's missing, somewhere and still missing.
It seems meaningless to you but it hurts me so dear.

As I trip and fall and if you pull me up at all,

When you throw yourself down, It'll suit you if you shove me as well.

Santiano

It's a famous three-master, thin like a bird
Heave high! !
Eighteen knots, four hundred tons
I'm proud to be a sailor
 
Keep the wave right, keep the wind right
Heave high! Santiano!
If it's God's will, always straight on
We'll reach as far as San Francisco
 
Oh, the wind was foul and the seas ran high
Heave away! Santiano!
She shipped it green and none went by
Along the plains of Mexico!
 
Keep the wave right, keep the wind right
Heave high! Santiano!
If it's God's will, always straight on
We'll reach as far as San Francisco
 
I set off for many long months, leaving Margot
Heave high! Santiano!
My heart was so heavy when I thought of her
While rounding the lights of Saint Malo
 
Keep the wave right, keep the wind right
Heave high! Santiano!
If it's God's will, always straight on
We'll reach as far as San Francisco
 
We swear by rote, and want of more
Heave away! Santiano!
But now we're through so we'll go on shore
Along the plains of Mexico
 
Keep the wave right, keep the wind right
Heave high! Santiano!
If it's God's will, always straight on
We'll reach as far as San Francisco
 
Keep the wave right, keep the wind right
Heave high! Santiano!
If it's God's will, always straight on
We'll reach as far as San Francisco
 

A Short Tune

Time flies, yet you cannot slow it down,
Hundreds of years shall pass in the blink of an eye,
The vast sky stretches beyond what one can see,
Tens of thousands of cyclic change have taken place,
Even the draping hair of Magu,
Half has turned into the color of frost.
 
Billions of laughter has been heard from the King of the East and the fairy,
I want to take a joyride back to the east with the six dragons, and hang the sun at the Fusang tree.
Using the spoon made from the Big Dipper to spoons out good wine,
Beseeching the dragons to drink a chalice.
Not because I want to be rich or famous, but to stop the time for all and forever young.

Earphons and a Chorus of Cicadas

I need a holiday
But it's not like I wish for everyday to be a holiday
Cause I wouldn't be able to bear the pain
of knowing it's not true freedom
 
Not bad enough to throw away, but not good enough to really talk about
Downing the cheap vending machine drinks, today is distinctively summer
I dashed across the burning asphalt, its heat proportional to the blazing sun
A solitary journey in an unknown world - a summer fantasy I've longed for since days past
 
Streets without a shadow of a person but filled with heat shimmers, from my earphones leaked out a melody
But it was drowned out by the singing cicadas, and sounds of summer clad in wind
The unease of pent up emotions, unable to let out yesterday's thoughts
This consdendation of anxiety and regret, will be washed away by the evening rain in this summer world
 
I just want to be coloured in a summer dream
Even after erasing all my unnecessary thoughts, this incessant crying is as annoying as ever
'Look I'm alright, there's no problem at all'
I throw up these thoughts of fake bravado and become so empty even my presence becomes permeable
 
I just want to be coloured in a summer dream
I'm begging you, please, don't wake me up.
 
The long vanished shade under the trees, the sky that's cried itself dry
Where did it all go? What is this voice I'm still hearing
Wallowing in my tears, in a small corner of summer
I'll pray that I can smile.
 
As in this moment I just want to be coloured in today
If every time I end up wishing for something, I lose something in return
 
I'll get rid of the me who continues to wish.
No matter what I may lose tomorrow, I swear to continue moving towards the future
If I'm going to end up forgetting the colour of that summer,
Then as payment along with these tears, I'd like to be able to sing with a smile once again.
 
I need a holiday
But it's not like I wish for everyday to be a holiday
Cause I wouldn't be able to bear the pain
of knowing it's not true freedom
 

If you only knew

(intro)
I gaze at the rising day in the distance
A day without joy, without reason
I weep thinking about the brief hours
Hours of love and abandonment
 
If you only knew how much I cried
If you only knew how much everything has changed
O my love! Yes, you would come back
If you only knew
 
How lonely I have been since you left,
How much I suffered in my despair,
O my love! Yes you would come back
If only you knew...
 
...that so much pleasure and so much joy
would could come back for a word from you
 
If you only knew how much I cried
If you only knew how much everything has changed
O my love! Yes, you would come back
If you only knew
 

Omul cu sufletul ranit

Zi după zi zilele mor
Lăsând o viață-n urma lor
 
În curtea omului cu sufletul rănit,
Flori nu mai cresc, și iarba a îngălbenit
Pe trunchiul mort nu mai crește nimic
Doar fructele durerii ce-a trăit
 
Pereții patru ai casei lui
Adăpostesc doar golul
Prietenii-au plecat pe rând
Cu râsul lor și al lor cînt
Prietenii-au plecat pe rând
Cu râsul lor și al lor cînt
 
Din când în când, s-adape lacrimi vin
A ierbii arse amintiri
Dar care soare putea va încălzi
Zile ce-au fost sau care vin ?
 
Pereții patru-ai casei lui
Adăpostesc doar golul
Prietenii-au plecat pe rând
Cu râsul lor și al lor cînt
Prietenii-au plecat pe rând
Cu râsul lor și al lor cînt
 
Zi după zi zilele mor
Lăsând o viață-n urma lor
 

Despre ceea ce nu se știe nimic

Versions: #1
Luna nu știe că este liniștită și strălucitoare
și nici măcar că este lună

I'll Keep My Wishes In Your Heart

I'll keep my wishes in your heart
Come here my love, I'll keep my life within you
 
Why do your eyes seem so empty?
Where did all those love-filled words go?
I'll put my smile on your lips
 
Tears stream down your face, my heart cries
You get hurt and I feel pain
I'll put my tongue over your wounds
 
Love, take hold of my arm
Say something with your mouth
I'll put the whole word at your feet
 

The health bulletin

I lost my jowls, I lost my paunch
And this in a way so clear, so sudden
That some suppose I have in me an evil that does not forgive
Who laughs at Aesculapius and leaves him stunned
 
The Loch Ness monster no longer bringing its dime
During hollow times in certain gazettes
Systematically, obituaries like
To shroud me under sausage wrapper1
 
Now, tired of serving as a punching ball
Of the gloomy tales I'm the star of 2
I, who am well, who breathes health
I step forward and scream the whole truth
 
All the truth, gentlemen, I deliver it to you
If I left the ranks of the over-two-hundred-pounds
It's the because of Mimi, Lisette, Ninon
And many others, I don't remember names
 
If I betrayed the fat, the chubby, the obese
It's that I fuck, that I fuck, that I fuck
Like a buck, a ram, a beast, a brute
I am haunted: the heat, the heat, the heat, the heat
 
Let me be understood, I have the soul of a satyr
And his behavior, but that doesn't mean
That I have the talent, the genius, far from it
Not a single one yet shouted “bravo!' to me
 
Among other fine flowers, I count on my pink
List a decent number of journalists' wives
Who, thinking I'm done, put all their faith
To give me happiness one last time
 
It's beautiful, it's generous, it's big, it's magnificent
And, in the most pornographic positions
I give them the honors with the buttocks down
On piles of drafts, piles of unsold
 
And that's what makes that when your legitimate (wife)
Show their buttocks to the people as well as to your intimate friends
You can often read, printed backwards
The echoes, the little gossip, the in-briefs
 
And if you hear surging through the plinths
From the boudoir of these ladies groans and complaints
Do not say: 'It is Uncle Georges who is expiring'
It's just the angels who sigh 3
 
And if you hear screaming like in (nineteen)fourteen
'Arise ! Arise the dead! », Do not bulge the torso
It's the exalted wife of an editor
Which prompts me to assault once again
 
Certainly, it happens to me, flip side
To sometimes leave feathers in battle
Hippocrates says: 'Yes, these are cockscombs'
And Gallien replies: 'No, it's gonococci'
 
Both are right, sometimes Venus gives you
Wicked kicks that a good Christian forgives
Because if they cause harm to manly attributes
They seldom endanger existence
 
Well, yes, I have all that, ransom of my frenzy
The boat for Kythera is quarantined
But I haven't yet, no, no, no, three times no
This mysterious evil whose name we hide
 
If I betrayed the fat, the chubby, the obese
It's that I fuck, that I fuck, that I fuck
Like a buck, a ram, a beast, a brute
I am haunted: the heat, the heat, the heat, the heat

Speed of light

Strange dreams, distant spaces
The journey is my home
People always (think) only of today
So that I don't ever have to think
Checking the phone every two minutes to see if the others are still there
Every three minutes my mum asks me if I'm ever getting there
24 hours, yet it feels like it's nothing
I run
 
In the speed of light
time stands still
In the speed of light
I can kill the time
I dissolve the faster I run, everything expands
In the speed of light
time stands still
 
A thousand stars, oh how I long to be the most beautiful one
But I learn, from the distance, everything can seem huge
I compare myself, and it's not enough, if you only look above
Failing more beautifully, I have to go on, wonder if there's an ending
 
In the speed of light
time stands still
In the speed of light
I can kill the time
I dissolve the faster I run, everything expands
In the speed of light
time stands still
 

Broken Face

Your laughter sounds like it comes from a tape
You hold your glass like a shield in your hand
Your pride is framed by black hair
That's all that I found remaining
 
The day is long, the day is empty
It never ends
The pain is dull, the pain is strong
Crawls into your hands
The city is bright, the city speaks
With a thousand tongues
The breath bites, the breath stings
Pain in your lungs
You turn away as it breaks
Your broken face
Your broken face
 
You are, as always, on guard
If someone asks, of course you are fine
With a mounted bayonet
In the next bed
You gather fresh anger
 
The sweat is wet, the sweat is cold
Creates no closeness
The storm distracts, the storm holds
Until I go
The wine is red, the wine is white
Makes you drunk
Your star shines bright and cold like ice
Soon it goes down
A dull thud as it breaks
Your broken face
Your broken face
Your broken face
 

Nu e serios

Nu e serios
Iubirea mea, iubirea mea,
Să ne sărutăm așa,
Pe stradă, oriunde.
Nu e serios,
Dar e bine, iubirea mea,
Când gura ta flămândă
Rătăcește pe gâtul meu.
 
Și eu sunt timid,
Mă simt solid
De când mă iubești.
Cum să ascundem fără să trișăm
Această mare fericire
Pe care-o afișăm fără pudoare?
 
Nu e serios
Iubirea mea, iubirea mea,
Să ne sărutăm așa,
Pe stradă, care ne vede
Cu acei ochi
Prea curioși, peste tot.
Așa că vino la mine acasă,
Vino la mine, la mine acasă.
 
Nu e serios,
Iubirea mea, iubirea mea.
Știi, toți amicii noștri
Cred cu siguranță
Că noi am murit.
Au trecut patru nopți și patru zile
De când noi n-am mai scos
Nasul pe-afară.
 
Și dacă ne ei ne vor întreba,
Va trebui să le dăm
O scuză valabilă.
Și la dracu, până la urmă!
Nu ne pasă, cu obloanele trase.
 
Nu mă gândesc decât că te iubesc.
 
Nu e serios,
Iubirea mea, iubirea mea,
Așa e, dar de multe ori,
Când facem în viață
Ceea ce e serios,
Iubirea mea, iubirea mea,
Uite-așa ne plictisim,
Ne plictisim, ne plictisim.
 
Uite-așa ne plictisim,
Ne plictisim, ne plictisim.
 
Uite-așa ne plictisim.
 

Peahen

In the garden at midnight the peahen said,
'Chana-na-chan! Look madam, how my bangles ring!
How my bangles ring upon my arms!'
 
I, in my shame, melted away*
Now that everyone had heard my love story
The story slipped from my lips amidst conversation, amidst conversation,
'Chana-na-chan! Look madam, how my bangles ring!'
Who knows at what time my love leaves home,
When I leave in my veil, it brings pouring rain,
My thirst is not quenched by the downpour, by the downpour,
'Chana-na-chan! Look madam, how my bangles ring!'
 
My love, on my bare bed I lay awake all night,
My sleep followed you as you left,
And my peace left with you as well.
'Chana-na-chan! Look madam, how my bangles ring!'
My heart leaps** and my chest bursts like a drum
Oh drummer, don't leave
Hey drummer, don't leave
 

Lies

When you look at me
I see it well, it's really true
Your gaze goes away
And passes through me
To lose itself beyond me
And when I ask you
Repeatedly what you're thinking of
Do you believe that I don't feel
That you answer me with lies?
 
Do you know that I like your lies?
Do you know that I like your lies?
 
You can lower your eyes
Ruffle my hair
Say whatever you like
I don't believe you
 
When you kiss me
I tell myself yes of course it's true
As long as he kisses me
Of course he's hooked
As everything moves along and wears out
And when you smile at me
With a distracted air, it's true
Do you think that I don't see
That you're thinking about everything except me?
 
Do you know that I like your lies?
Do you know that I like your lies?
 
As long as you lie
You're holding on to me
The same way I hold onto you
Even in spite of you
 
But you don't know
Me, though, I know that it's true
That you are like that
Because I know you
And you don't know yourself
I only live for you
You only live for yourself
And yet you without me
That won't work out, don't you think so?
 
Do you know that I like your lies?
Do you know that I like your lies?
 
As long as you cheat on me
And you come back
It means that you can't
Do without me
 
I like your duplicity
Alas, alas, it's true
Do you think that I don't hear
When you call me
By all kinds of new names?
If one day you leave me
Don't worry, it's true
Me, I will disappear
You won't hear anything more about me
 
I will miss your lies
I will miss your lies
 
Keep on lying
I won't deprive you
As for me, I can't
Live without you
As for me, I can't
Live without you

i don’t know what love is
 

Opaque blanket of snow

This opaque blanket of snow
Probably, holds some meaning
For that I collected
I pray
 
Ah, the shape of my heart
formed in my childhood,
Brought me back to this time
I spent with you
 
In solitude I was overflowing with loneliness
Unable to say anything, I hid it all
Memories of your crying profile
pile up like snow
 
I drop you into the restless
depths of my heart
because you bring light to me
The dream ends...
 
This opaque blanket of snow
Probably, holds some meaning
For that I collected
I pray
 
I feel like I can still remember
Even your habits and movements
One day, it'll all melt and become pure again
 
Ah, this place I spent time with you
The mornings I'm not
by your side
pile up like snow...
 
Your words and voice
Ring in my ears
Even though we were so tightly knit...
 
My murky feelings
Pushed you away
The words I didn't mean to say increase...
 
I really wanted to convey it
That I love you
But I couldn't put power into it...
 
Laugh for me one last time
Will your smile, one day
melt into the snow, and become pure again?
Under this opaque blanket of snow
The days that we spent together
and the love we had, are melting away...
 

The arpeggiopoplars

the arpeggiopoplars
In the black wind of october
and the cellofir-trees
were playing for me in the snow
their lovely sober music
their frail recorder tune..
Can you hear them ,O, arpeggiopoplars?
that say that everythingislinked in the universe?
And the oboefir-trees, these bright green violas?
their sosnowywhisperthat sayseverythingisasound?
and vibration andbeatinunison?
Yes, I hear them clearly,
the arpeggiopoplars
which play the notes of their nice Advent concerto claiming
that plantandanimalandmanandeverythingFEELS?
and that nothing is ever squandered in the gusts of the wind
nor in the clouds or in the flocking flakes..
Everything lulls me in autumn, soothes and lightens me
all the trees rise and form their greyish orchestra
and the bassons play for me an enthralling tune,
a song that tells me again and again
that everything is a sacrilege
when man and nature do not live in harmony.
O, Can you hear them too,
the arpeggiopoplars,
Themwhosepurecorderlinksupairtimeandspace?
 

Fericirea

Cine îmbrăţişează o femeie este Adam.
Femeia este Eva.
Totul se întâmplă pentru prima oară.
Văzut-am ceva alb pe cer.
Că-i luna mi se spune, dar ce pot face
cu un cuvânt şi o mitologie?
O înfiorare simt când văd copacii.
O, cât sunt de frumoşi!
 
Se-apropie de mine cu blândeţe tot felul de jivine
pentru ca eu să le spun pe nume.
Pe raft stau cărţi, dar litere nu au.
Când cartea o deschid, apar şi ele.
Când răsfoiesc atlasul, trasez conturul Sumatrei.
Cine aprinde un chibrit în întuneric
născoceşte focul.
În oglindă cineva stă la pândă.
Cine priveşte marea vede Anglia.
Cine recită un vers de Liliencron
a intrat în luptă.
 
Am visat Cartagina şi legiunile
care au nimicit Cartagina.
Am visat spada şi balanţa.
Lăudată fie dragostea în care nu există posesor
şi posedat, căci amândoi se lasă în voia ei.
Lăudat fie coşmarul, care ne arată
că putem crea iadul.
Cine se scaldă într-un râu se scaldă în Gange.
Cine priveşte un ceas de nisip vede
năruirea unui imperiu.
 
Cine se joacă cu un pumnal
prevesteşte moartea lui Cezar.
Cel care doarme este toţi oamenii.
În pustiu am văzut apărând Sfinxul,
pe care chiar atunci îl terminaseră.
Nimic nu e atât de vechi sub soare.
Totul se întâmplă pentru prima oară,
dar într-un chip veşnic.
Cine citeşte cuvintele mele le inventează.
 

The Time To Live

Versions: #1
We will take the time to live
To be free, my love
Without plans and without habits
We can dream our life
 
Come, I am here, I wait only for you
All is possible, all is allowed
 
Come, listen to the words that vibrate
On the walls of the month of May
They tell us the certainty
That all can change one day
 
Come, I am here, I wait only for you
All is possible, all is allowed
 
We will take the time to live
To be free, my love
Without plans and without habits
We can dream our life
 

Your Eyes Have Understood

Your eyes have understood me to be deserving of love,
Stop, oh my heartbeat, I have found my destination.
Your eyes have understood me...
 
Yes, this decision of yours is acceptable to me,
Yes, this decision of yours is acceptable to me.
My every glance is saying, oh lord, thank you.
You have blended me into your life with a smile,
Stop, oh my heartbeat, I have found my destination,
Your eyes have understood me...
 
I am your destination, you are my destination,
I am your destination, you are my destination.
Why should I fear a storm, you are my shore,
Someone tell the storms that I have found my shore.
Stop, oh my heartbeat, I have found my destination,
Your eyes have understood me...
 
Your shadow has fallen upon my heart,
Your shadow has fallen upon my heart.
In every direction, millions of shehnaais* are sounding,
I have obtained all the joys of both worlds today,
Your eyes have understood me to be deserving of love,
Stop, oh my heartbeat, I have found my destination,
Your eyes have understood me...
