Yule Lads Poem

I wish to tell a tale
about those old lads,
who came here in times before
to our farm homes.
 
They were seen up in the fells,
— as many do know —
all lined up in one trail
down to the homes below.
 
Grýla, she was their mother,
she gave them giant’s milk,
but father Leppalúði
was of lamentable ilk.
 
The Yule Lads as they were named,
— at Yuletide they were due —
and one by one did they come,
but never two by two.
 
There were thirteen
of these gentlemen,
and they wished not to peeve
all folk at once
 
So into the door they snuck
and took apart the lock.
And most of all they searched all through
the pantry and kitchen.
 
With cunning smiles and sneers
they would hide here and there,
prepared with all of their tricks
when people weren’t near.
 
And still should they be seen,
they were wont to come
to tease people — and disturb
the peace of their home.
 
Sheep-cote Clod came first,
built firm as a tree.
Into the sheepfold he would sneak
to play with the farmer's sheep.
 
He meant to suck the ewes' milk,
— which they liked not at all,
for the wretch had feet stiff like wood
— well, this did not go well.
 
Gully Gawk was the next,
with his grey old head.
He snuck down from the gorge
and in the barn he leapt.
 
He hid himself in the stables
as he stole the froth,
while the friendly milkmaiden
chatted with the farmhand.
 
Stubby was named the third,
stumpy he was.
He snatched himself a cooking pan
whenever he could.
 
He ran away then with his prize
and collected the bits
which sometimes burned and stuck to
the bottom here and there.
 
The fourth lad came, Spoon Licker,
thin was he in shape.
He became mischievous
when the cook was not around.
 
And like lightning he then leapt,
grasping the stirring spoon,
He held it with both his hands
for sometimes it would slip.
 
Then fifth came the Pot Scraper,
a silly lad he was.
When children were given pieces,
he came to tap the door.
 
The children rushed to see themselves
if truly they had a guest.
Then he’d hurry over to the pot
and have himself a fest.
 
Then came Bowl Licker, the sixth,
of startlingly poor ilk.
From underneath the bed frame
he stuck his ugly head.
 
When the people would set down their bowls
for the cat and dog,
he sprang out to grab them
and lick them clean he would.
 
Seventh was the lad Door Slammer,
— quite obscene he was.
If people wished at twilight
to catch themselves a rest.
 
But he was not especially
downtrodden that night
if he could roughly bang on
doors and hear them thud.
 
Skyr Gobbler, the eighth one,
frightfully dim lad,
He’d knock upon the skyr tub
with his fist ‘til it broke.
 
He gobbled it by himself
gaping his mouth with food,
until he felt so full
he had to moan and howl.
 
The ninth was Sausage Swiper,
shifty and clever,
He climbed upon the rafters
and pilfered from there.
 
On a wood beam he sat
masked in soot and smoke,
and stuffed himself with sausage
without any care.
 
The tenth lad was Window Peeper,
odd little man,
Who snuck up to the window
And looked in through it.
 
If something did lie therein
and caught his sly eye,
most often later
to swipe it he would try.
 
Eleventh was the Door Sniffer,
— never had a cold,
yet he had such a funny
and oversized nose.
 
He caught scent of bread loaf
there upon the hills,
and smooth like a smoke cloud to
the sweet scent he ran.
 
Then Meat Hook, the twelfth one,
knew many different tunes,
He frolicked in the countryside
on mass of Thorlak's Day1.
 
He snatched himself a small bite,
when the coast was clear.
But sometimes it was too short,
that one hook of his.
 
Thirteenth was the Candle Beggar,
-- it was cold that night,
if he was not the last of them
on that Christmas eve.
 
He trailed behind the children,
who smiled happy and glad,
and ran about the farmland
with their tallow lights 2.
 
Then on Christmas night itself
-- so goes the story --
the lads, they all sat about
and stared at all the lights.
 
Then away they scampered,
through all the frost and snow.
On the thirteenth day, the last one
of the lads would go.
 
Long since in the mountainlands
have all their tracks faded.
But the memories have turned
into art and song.

Blessed are those that mourn
For they shall be comforted
Those who sow tears
Shall reap joy

Taking precious seeds
And come with joy

I Don't Have You to Lose Anymore

Time heals all wounds
But you still have to find time
Where everything else turns silent too, at some point
A couple of days, an hour
Maybe just a second
Where memories stay but the future dies
I think I've done it
At least I can sleep again at night
Hey, such a thing will never happen to me again
Oh, no, no
It wasn't that hard at all
To listen to everyone else
And to finally understand the goodbye
 
I don't have you to lose anymore
I'm not letting you control my heart again
No more love songs
Will I write for you
 
I don't have you to lose anymore
I'm not letting you control my heart again
No more love songs
Will I compose for you
And yet I'm sitting here again
 
It's not a problem for me
To see you this happy
Hey, right now I'm not doing so bad either
Then I'll just start all over again
I know I can do that well
And my tears weren't real anyway
 
I think I've done it
At least I can sleep again at night
Such a thing cannot happen to me again
And it wasn't that hard at all
People say, but usually afterwards
I'm leaving the keys and closing the doors
 
I don't have you to lose anymore
I'm not letting you control my heart again
No more love songs
Will I write for you
 
I don't have you to lose anymore
I'm not letting you control my heart again
No more love songs
Will I compose for you
And yet I'm sitting here again
 
I don't have you to lose anymore
I'm not letting you control my heart again
No more love songs
Will I write for you
 
I don't have you to lose anymore
I'm not letting you control my heart again
No more love songs
Will I compose for you
And yet I'm sitting here again
 

The angelic salutation

'Hail, Mary, Mother of grace!'
So the angels were singing to the Virgin Mary
while she was struggling with herself in her prayer.
 
'Mary, you shall conceive a son!
Heaven and earth are yearning for
you being the Mother of the Lord.'
 
'O Angels, how can I live to see that.
I have not had a husband yet
in this big wide world.'
 
'Like the dew falls upon flower meadows,
the Holy Spirit shall overshadow you,
and the Saviour shall be born.'
 
Mary was delighted at hearing this,
saying, 'I am a handmaid of the Lord,
be it done unto me according to thy word!'
 
The Angels sank to their knees.
They all sang, 'Mary, Mary!'
They sang the praises of Mary.
 

God Dries Your Tears

Verse 1:
The reunion will soon pass,
something new will arise out of the unseen,
we will see a new heaven
when we stand before Jesus.
 
Do you hear the voice as it speaks to you?
'I am the beginning, the end,
I am your light.
I am the one who breaks through time
and knows your face.'
 
Refr..:
God wipes all tears away,
God dries your tears.
God wipes all tears away
here in the land of glory.
 
God wipes your tears away,
God dries your tears,
your pain and your suffering
he will gladly take from you.
 
Verse 2:
Whoever overcomes will soon be with him,
past the pain, past your shrine.
The King himself will be your champion.
God will not leave you alone.
 
A thousand years will pass like a day
no matter what was, what is, or what may come.
He gives you comfort so your heart will not despair.
He takes away whatever troubles you.
 
2x Refr..:
God wipes all tears away,
God dries your tears.
God wipes all tears away
here in the land of glory.
 
God wipes your tears away,
God dries your tears,
your pain and your suffering
he will gladly take from you.
 

BWV 245 20 Aria T: Consider how his back so stained with bleeding.

Consider how his back so stained with bleeding
In every portion
Doth heaven imitate,
On which, when once the waves and waters
From our own Flood of sin have settled,
The world's most lovely rainbow, arching,
As God's own sign of blessing stands!
 

O great love, o love beyond all mesure,

O great love, o love beyond all mesure,
that brought You to this way of martyrdom!
I lived with the world in pleasure and joys,
and You must suffer!

Tell Me Now

[Verse 1]
I was going to a party at a girls place
All my classmates were there
There was drinks and fun, love
There was singing and dancing, oh yeah
I arrived, the party had started
The girl she stood right there
She was wearing a pink dress
And a skirt that was superb
 
[Build]
Wonder if you like me
Cause I certainly like you
What is your answer?
Yes or no
 
[Chorus]
Come on baby, tell me now, tell me now, yeah
Come on baby, I'm right in front of you
Baby, baby, tell me, tell me
Come on, do you like me?
Yes or no
 
[Verse 2]
All of my classmates were dancing fiercely
Everyone but me
The girl was dancing with another guy
But I'll get you anyway
I went there and asked, do you wanna dance?
She said yes, and I was on fire
Now let's dance the whole night through
Cause baby, I love you
 
[Build]
Dance all night
Dance just the two of us
I am crazy about you
But do you like me?
 
[Chorus]
Come on baby, tell me now, tell me now
Come on baby, I'm right in front of you
Baby, baby, tell me, tell me
Come on, do you like me?
Yes or no
Come on, do you like me?
Yes or no
Come on, do you like me?
Yes or no
 
[Bridge]
I love it when I feel your hand in mine
I blush when you say that I am yours
 
[Chorus]
Come on baby, tell me now, tell me now
Come on baby, I'm right in front of you
Baby, baby, tell me, tell me
Come on, do you like me?
Yes or no
Come on, do you like me?
Yes or no
Come on, do you like me?
Yes or no

Your face - It is reflected in the rain puddles
Ey you can even wear gray
When i'm once more not close to you
You wait for me with open arms
In your streets I can lose myself so wunderful
And whatever I'm looking for
I find it here
 
Oh home, beatiful how you laugh to me
You're always there, when I have nobody to talk to
Oh home, how you are looking again,
I always carry you, always with me
Like a souvenir
 
You and me, alone at night in the neon light
Sometimes I dance with you
Come, don't act like that
I know you inside and out
You know way too much about me
Sometimes you're loud, sometimes you're silent
Sometimes you're tired, but not alone
If you want to, you can warm me
Or be freezing
 
Oh home, beatiful how you laugh to me
You're always there, when I have nobody to talk to
Oh home, how you are looking again,
I always carry you, always with me
Like a souvenir
 

You should be able to play the piano

You should be able to play the piano
Whoever plays the piano is lucky with women
Because the gentlemen who can make music
Quickly win the ladies trust.
 
The sound of the piano playing
Works on everyone like sparkling wine
And her most secret feelings
Are awoken by the piano, forte
The man who can do that makes his advances,
He is rewarded by her with tenderness.
The other men have no chance
They look at the instrument and the moon.
You should be able to play the piano
Whoever plays the piano is lucky with women
Because only he can with tones
For the listening beauty
Build castles of love in the air
 
To be lucky in love,
Is not always easy
But there are different ways
You can attain it:
With music is the best,
And we show here
How to charm beautiful women
At the patient piano:
 

I Will Capture You

For several days I have dreamed about you
In all of my dreams.
All my thoughts have revolved around
You and only you.
Where will I find you?
Where are you hiding?
Will I ever find you?
 
[Chorus]:
Certainly I will capture you someday
So that you come to freedom
And I will never let you go again.
May you travel throughout the world
 
It's gotten to the point
Where you sound in my head all day.
All the sounds are formed from
The rhythm of knock after knock.
I fear that you will run far away.
I am trying to hang onto you.
Soon I will have you.
 
[Chorus]
 
And now on the screen
Level indicators are dancing.
I am listening, full of joy
And it is that joy that makes me sing
You will never run away from me again.
You will make the people happy
On your voyage around the world.
 
[Chorus]
 
Word after word
Chord after chord
I will capture you.
I will never let you go again.
May I travel throughout the world.
 

Hundert Lives

The first cigarette smoke followed you closely by whiskey smell
And the great love, the one man never forgets
At the beginning, no one wanted to leave
But then we also discovered
That life is behind the sign
The teachers were always trying hard
Fridays were fired up
No, at that time there was no loneliness
Never play it safe
Day after day see siblings
Every age also has its time
 
We have experienced a lot
A story that always stays with us
And we have seen a lot
That is good enough for hundred lives
Without our yesterday, I would not be looking forward to tomorrow
It is not that what counts
A time
That is good enough for hundred lives
That is good enough for hundred lives
 
Our old streets look like time has stopped here
I drive again with you all over
Melle is long gone
Christian brings his son to bed
And Ben and I do not really have much time
Just looked in and laughed a lot
And one of my friends says
I look like my dad just with a beard
Everything like before, as if we were kids again
To go away from here was also really hard
 
We have experienced a lot
A story that always stays with us
And we have seen a lot
That is good enough for hundred lives
Without our yesterday, I would not be looking for tomorrow
It is not that what counts
A time
That is good enough for hundred lives
A time, that is good enough for hundred lives
 
We do not know what's coming
We only know what stays forever
 
We have experienced a lot
A story that always stays with us
And we have seen a lot
That is good enough for hundred lives
Without our yesterday, I would not be looking for tomorrow
It is not that what counts
A time
That is good enough for hundred lives
That is good enough for hundred lives
 

Circles

Often Start and End is the same point
Since the birth, the same blood that is running through the veins
We start every year to freeze at the same time
We're blowing rings in the air until the smoke is gone
Hold us tight when the earth is turning pirouettes
And we turning aswell when the pointer rotating
 
Ey when everything is turning in circles
Then you go left then I go right
And soon our ways are crossing
When we see us
Ey when everything is turning in circles
Then you go left then I go right
But we don't stand still
Until we see us again
 
The divider is drawing every day on the empty paper
And the moon takes over the sun in the night
I ask myself again what happens to you at the time
Poesie on the wall in the pub toilet
Don't hold tight what you love rather let them go
And if that comes back then it belongs to you
 
Ey when everything is turning in circles
Then you go left then I go right
And soon our ways are crossing
When we see us
Ey when everything is turning in circles
Then you go left then I go right
But we don't stand still
Until we see us again
 
Doesn't matter how far away we go
On the radar, i just see us (oh yeah)
No matter how far apart we are
We have the same midpoint
 
Ey when everything is turning in circles
Then you go left then I go right
And soon our ways are crossing
When we see us
 
Ey when everything is turning in circles
Then you go left then I go right
And soon our ways are crossing
When we see us
Ey when everything is turning in circles
Then you go left then I go right
But we don't stand still
Until we see us again

Magneten

You are into big theater
that's not really my thing.
You can also be silent for hours
I could sing all day.
You like it when it's cold
I'm not feeling well when it's snowing.
I often think about the future
and you into eternity.
But somehow
we get dressed.
And there is something
which you can not explain
Like plus and minus
like shadow and light.
One thing can not exist without the other.
We are magnets
we are magnets.
How loud and quiet
like war and peace.
One can not exist without the other.
magnets
 
I'll never let you go.
 
Being alone is silver to me.
For you it's worth more than gold.
You are so outrageously honest.
I am often unwanted.
But somehow
we get dressed.
 
And there is something
which you can not explain.
 
Like plus and minus
like shadow and light.
One thing can not exist without the other.
We are magnets
we are magnets.
How loud and quiet
like war and peace.
One can not exist without the other.
Magnet.
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
Ooohhh no.
 
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
 
I think I do not have my own head
so he gets lost to me
but only so you can give it to me
Twisted day after day.
 
Like plus and minus
like shadow and light.
One thing can not exist without the other.
We are magnets
we are magnets.
How loud and quiet
like war and peace.
One can not exist without the other.
Magnet.
I'll never let you go.
 

Deep in My Heart

I saw you in the hallway
Thought that you might like me
You looked happy
Your hair was as red as crimson
I was looking forward to everything
That might happen between us
Did you?
 
I soon made certain
That you really liked me
Maybe you even fell in love?
Is it true love?
Our hands found
Each other in your lap
At some point
 
Will we only be friends?
Are we going to screw around
It's either through words or through kisses
That you are most likely to find the way to my heart
 
We hugged late at night
Hidden in the dark
And we reared up passionately
Fooling around is fun
But somehow a certain kind of feeling remains
Do I hurt you?
Kiss me anyway
 
What do we expect now from all of this?
You definitely know that there are others whom I love
Many things are possible with me
But it will certainly never
Be you and me alone...
 
You say that you don't know
How our relationship will carry on
We don't if we want it
Or if it's good
But for you there will always
Be love
To be given and to be taken
 
Will we only stay friends?
Will there be more for us than sex?
Either with words or with kisses
There will always be room for you
Deep in my heart
 

Somebody Like You

Versions: #1#2
I don't manage to get distracted,
I can't sleep, can't eat
It's so hard to think about it
But even harder to forget
It would be best to simply think about myself
 
Refrain (bis)
And then I look
then I look
then I look
again for somebody like you
again for somebody like you
 
Have begun to smoke again
This time I'm not to blame
I can't be of any use anymore
Your still there, but you're not here
It would be best to simply think about myself
 
Refrain (bis)
And then I look
then I look
then I look
again for somebody like you
again for somebody like you
 
Somebody, somebody, somebody
Like you
Somebody, somebody
Like you
 
Only when I've understood all this
And how come, wherefore, why not I
I will release those pictures of you from my head
At last drawing this line
 
Refrain (bis)
And then I look
then I look
then I look
again for somebody like you
again for somebody like you
