Please, Come Back

It's enough, the silence between me and you has lasted too long
Too many nights without you for me all alone
Maybe the day will come and wind will bring my love
And you will disappear like the sand in the dunes
Now come back, please
You should know I said it to you too
I can't handle it anymore
There is too much of you inside me
If you come back, stay a bit long
If you go out
Please, take my love with you
I have so much of you inside me
 
It's enough, the silence between me and you has lasted too long
Too many nights without you for me all alone
Maybe the day will come and wind will bring my love
And you will disappear like the sand in the dunes
 

The Last Dance

All the hours have stopped for us darling,
Happiness remained far away for us
 
If I come to your mind for a moment after years
Send me a smile with the wind
 
I saw you yesterday, darling
There was another man next to you.
You were so happy,
It fell to me to go...
 
All the hours have stopped for us darling,
Happiness remained far away for us
 
If I come to your mind for a moment after years
Send me a smile with the wind
 

It's just me

I don't want to be the one who believes in conspiracies
Don't put any belief in several religions
I hear myself speaking high when I am lonely in the room
Is there someone out there who can imagine himself listening
When we feel fear, when we feel sadness
When darkness shuts tight and everything is just silent
With this life I have got
I want to build, want to create something
Make a difference, do something good, mm
I can't do everything
I have tried a thousand times
So if you hear me, reach out your hand, oh-oh
 
It's just me
It's just me
Is there someone out there who feels the same?
That there is something more
Something we can't see
If you feel the same, reach out your hand and let me hear you
Woah-oh
 
Can we ever learn something from our mistakes
Take the time to stop the clock before the flowers wither
Hear the melodies that the wind whispers
Deep inside we're all the same
At the same time we are all totally unique
Love is our way to win
 
It's just me
It's just me
That there is something more
Something we can't see
If you feel the same, reach out your hand and let me hear you
 
Woah-oh
Woah-oh
Woah-oh
Woah-oh
I saw, Woah-oh
Woah-oh
Woah-oh
Woah-oh
 
It's just me
It's just me
Is there someone out there who feels the same?
That there is something more
Something we can't see
If you feel the same, reach out your hand and let me hear you
 
Woah-oh
Woah-oh
Woah-oh
Woah-oh
I say, Woah-oh
Woah-oh
Woah-oh
If you feel the same, reach out your hand and let me hear you
Woah-oh-oh
 

A little Evening

A little Evening
 
Over a neglected Village,
 
and two eyes..sleepin
 
I recall thirty years and five wars
 
and I bear witness that time..
 
Hides for me..
 
A wheat stalk
 
The singer sings..
 
about fire and strangers
 
and the evening was evening
and the singer was singing
 
and they interrogate him
 
Why do you sing?
 
He answer them:
 
”Because... I sing”
 
and they have searched his chest,
 
and they found nothing but his heart
 
and they have searched his heart,
 
and they found nothing but his people
 
And they have searched his voice,
 
and they found nothing but his sorrow
 
and they have searched his sorrow,
 
and they found nothing but his prison
 
and they have searched his prison,
 
and they found nothing but themselves
confined in chains.
and the evening was still evening
and the singer was still singing.
 

When love comes to an end

When time has played its part
And then love comes to an end,
I will go somewhere far away
To forget you.
 
(Ref.)
For you meant everything to me,
You were the truth to me,
And the one to whom long ago
I made a vow.
 
For you meant everything to me,
You were the truth to me,
And the one to whom long ago
I made a vow.
 
Your soul poisoned mine,
And my heart, like a flower, is wilting away.
With someone else you spend the nights
And say 'I love you'.
 
(Ref. ×2)
 

All or nothing

I lie, I lie to you that it will pass
I lie to myself that I'll feel like leaving
But time tries me
You spin me without stopping me
You tell me that it'll be fine
We'll just stick to here and now
You're soul, I'm your soul
Stuck in a ring of smoke
 
The deception drips down my lips
Your gaze, bitter blood
The smell of wild flowers
Makes me addicted to the gram
 
But stay a little longer
I promise that nobody will know
How our hearts beat to the same rhythm
Like two strangers,
I promise that nobody will know
How from nothing, everything was made
And how of everything, nothing remained
 
I feel, I feel you in each night
When my dreams seem longer
The reality is hollow
We hide from ourselves in the pieces of the illusion
I breathe you so sincerely
 
I hold you tight, deep in my chest
You're the breeze which floods my lungs
I miss you when I can't sleep and I wait for you
 
The deception drips down my lips
Your gaze, bitter blood
The smell of wild flowers
Makes me addicted to the gram
 
But stay a little longer
I promise that nobody will know
How our hearts beat to the same rhythm
Like two strangers,
I promise that nobody will know
How from nothing, everything was made
And how of everything, nothing remained
 

Longing

We haven't been together for 1 month
I pretend to be another person every day, I mask a big smile
Dark circles appearing for partying too much, the glass is always full
But I really wanted to hold your hand
 
Why me, who always preferred to stay at home
Why me, I had faith one day we're going to get married
I packed my bags but I didn't leave
I slammed the door but I stayed outside
I'm waiting for you to ask
 
What is the name ...
... of your longing?
Mine is you
Mine is you
What is the name ...
... of your longing?
Mine is you
Mine is you
 
Y-O-U
 

Nothing (feat Li Saumet)

All that I have felt and all that I have lived through
Of all that I have sensed beforehand nothing is left for me
For all that I have suffered, for all that I have learned
For all that I gave you, nothing is left for me
Nothing, nothing
 
I am being honest with you, if tomorrow I die
I am not afraid of it, for I am a woman and I carry the pain inside
I am a woman of rain, of pain, of blood by the moon,
Of earth, salt and dune
With love and without a doubt
If I die tomorrow, I will not move from here
I am not afraid of it, I am not afraid of it, no
 
All that I have felt and all that I have lived through
Of all that I have sensed beforehand nothing is left for me,
For all that I have looked at and all that I have already dreamed
For all that I have waited for, nothing is left for me
Nothing, nothing
 
I am being honest with you, and I am not afraid of
Death, if it wants me
I am waiting for it here, facing it and smiling
I carry the pain inside
The pain is present for me
 
I am a woman of blood by the moon
Of earth, salt and dune
Without sorrow, without a doubt
I carry the pain inside, I carry the pain inside, the pain
 
All that I have felt and all that I have lived through
For all that I have sensed beforehand, nothing is left for me
For all that I have lived through and all that I have learned
Of all that I have suffered, nothing is left for me
Nothing, nothing
 
All that I have waited for and all that I have given
Of all that I have remembered, nothing is left for me
Of the love I gave you, of all that I have chased
Of all that I gave you, nothing is left for me
Nothing is left for me, nothing is left for me
 
The pain is present for me, the pain is present for me
The pain
 

In Order To Save You

I've been in the trade for 10 years now.
I've seen countless patients come and go.
We are really totally1 overwhelmed,
Resources would be needed2, more beds would save us.
 
Never seen that as an emergency doctor.
Dead are pouring into the yard's cold room3.
Covid victims in every family4
Resources would be needed, more beds would save us.
 
Wherever the disease comes from, from China to Italy,
hospital walls won't hold back our madness5.
I put on my coat to contain the pandemic
I had to handle the worst cases6
 
Indeed, in order to save you...
I dedicated my life7 to saving you.
Indeed, in order to save you
I'll pay the price for saving you8.
 
One fine morning I had as slight headache,
rather mild, nothing to worry about.
I'm thinking of my daughter9, she's the reason I get up every morning.
A slight dry cough and a bout of fever.
 
Overwhelmed by a paralysing fatigue
and yet I was the young sportsman type10.
My stretcher is headed for the ICU.
This change of route is messing up my plans.
 
Now I'm breathing with a tube in my mouth
No word lofty1 enough to tell you how much I suffer
My parent's tears feed1 the cries of my wife.
I'm in too much pain11, time for me to go.
 
I've been immobile for two weeks
as long as my life hangs from a thread12
The Covid is taking me away.
Not even enough time left to tell you
that I ??? you...
 
Indeed, in order to save you...
I dedicated my life to saving you.
Indeed, in order to save you
I'll pay the price for saving you.
Saving...
 

• Bad French
• Yoda talk
• 3. Cold rooms overflowing with corpses, really? That didn't happen in France
• 4. In every family, really? With less than one victim out of 20.000 inhabitants?
• 5. Don't know what that means
• 6. The problem is rather that other medical issues have been dropped for an exclusive focus on the Covid. But that's a bit too complicated, it's simpler to tell bullshit.
• 7. 'consacrer pour' is ungrammatical
• 8. Want to talk about doctors dying from the Covid? Let's talk about it. So far, 10 doctors in the public health system, 50 in all for the whole of France, a good portion of them past retirement. That's one out of 7.000 at worst, about 3 times more dangerous than for the whole population.
• 9. Oh please...
• 10. What a crock of shit! A young sportsman would have maybe one chance in a few hundred thousands of dying from the Covid-19.
• 11. Intubated people are sedated and/or put in an artificial coma. This scene of torture is a sick fantasy.

Sau (Bye)

(Bala)
You from me, and I from you, are on a distance that won't allow us to hear each other...
Looking for feelings from one another, we pick open old wounds
 
(Alem)
It wasn't like that from the start
Hate starts to overshadow love
 
(Bala)
Don't approach me, don't approach me!
Good bye! Good bye! (x2)
Don't approach me, don't approach me!
Good bye! Good bye! (x2)
 
(Ace)
This stage act came to an end,
Only the two of us know it
Your games came to an end,
Only the two of us know it
 
(Alem)
Your actions tarnish -tarnish my soul
By your invisible mask,
I've been misguided
 
(Bala)
It wasn't like that from the start
Hate starts to overshadow love
 
Don't approach me, don't approach me!
Good bye! Good bye! (x2)
Don't approach me, don't approach me!
Good bye! Good bye! (x2)
 
(Ace)
This stage act came to an end,
Only the two of us know it...
Your games came to an end,
Only the two of us know it!
 
(Don't approach me!)
 
(A.Z)
It started, when avoiding the eyes, you became cold,
I'm obsessed with you from long ago, poisoning me, did you tie me up?
I've got it, not a flower, you are like a spider,
Can't stand what I've seen,
Pen is vomiting ink, won't go err-r r-r,
Such acts aren't something to cherish...
 
(Zaq)
Heart lacks the beating, feelings withered, faith in you missing,
Ask me 'why?', and I'll answer,
Whatever, it'll happen again,
I'll once again reach for your hand, stop!
Fate is a bad teacher, pity!
Consciousness smudged, melting mind...
 
(A.Z)
but...
I'm back to my senses, let's talk it over, come!
Why, when looking at you, I'm overcome with regret,
I don't understand, are my feelings only left in the past?
 
(Zaq)
Now what?
I'm trying to forget, don't look for meaning in my future acts, bye...
 

I Miss You

It's that I miss you
The distance mistreats us
It's that the distance mistreats us
I miss you
 
A rainy May 12th, 1973
That in this day you find
In joy
If I haven't written to you in a long time
It was because time itself didn't let me
Today I write to you about what's new
 
When I arrived it was morning
It was cold and I was empty inside
On my hands I had the same hope
On my chest my illusion
Without knowing where to go
 
It's that I miss you
 
The cavendish banana is tiny
The tangerine is a mandarin
I miss the moonlight
Everything else is the same
Hugs and that's it
in carnival I'll arrive there
 

The Guide Boy of Tormes / Lazarillo of Tormes

I was raised on Tormes river's riverbank
Theft kept me alive on this hostile land
My sad and poor mother handed me to a blind man
Who will become my master, and I, his hands
 
Our lives were owned by the picaresque
So cruel a life with no escape
The old man taught me the art of deception
And I felt strong with each passing day
 
Life's a battle
This luck we have to defeat
And when hunger strikes there's nothing else to lose
The blind man and the squire
The friar or the sheriff
They never gave me as much as I gave to them
 
Among alms, I was begging on the streets
With the avarice of whom never is satisfied
I left my masters because I didn't believe in miracles
And I bought a sword, but it was all in vane
 
I followed the path of losers
But I found a chore
I became a man of honor
The tale wanted me to marry the princess
But I always loved the maid
 
Life's a battle
This luck we have to defeat
And when hunger strikes there's nothing else to lose
The blind man and the squire
The friar or the sheriff
They never gave me as much as I gave to them
 
And now the books tell the story of my life
But to history, I was a loser
A futureless liar, lazy man, and miserable thief
But I fought against the misery
Of a century of gold that forgot
That what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and polishes the heart
 

Jump in the air

Heavy is the weighty passer-by
Just as elephants are, too
Who does press men against the asphalt?
Their Daisies follow, looking at the effect they have
 
Who, from Equator up to the poles
Did put that burden we have on our shoulders?
Is it the sky, Baudelaire’s lid1
That flattens us, pins us against the ground?
 
I figured it out, how horrendous
Earth’s like a vacuum cleaner
That wants our body, sucks it down, hopes for it
She wants you, don’t let her do it
 
Jump in the air
 
Since we’re inescapably sinking
Into dust, lil' brother
Jump in the air
 
Hold my hand if you’re scared
My little kangaroo, my lil' sister
Jump in the air
 
We tense all our muscles
To escape from that flesh-eater
Cling on to the ceiling, grab the lamps
So the Earth won’t eat you, gobble you
Jump in the air
 
Fresh mimosa, soft grass
Being above or below doesn’t feel the same
Jesus was swallowed, but he resisted
He jumped up, so c’mon! Now it’s your turn!
Jump in the air

You Will Remain in the Longing

You ended the joy
Of my love
You lied, deceived
And left me out
You are to blame for my samba
Becoming sadder
Oh, I'm leaving
 
Now I give
My points
And I will say why
You are a woman and beautiful
I cannot forget
You will remain in the longing
My lady
Oh, I'm leaving
 
Goodbye love
I'm going to depart
Oh, I'm leaving
 
You ended the joy
Of my love
You lied, deceived
And left me out
You are to blame for my samba
Becoming sadder
Oh, I'm leaving
 
Now I give
My points
And I will say why
You are a woman and beautiful
I cannot forget
You will remain in the longing
My lady
Oh, I'm leaving
 
Goodbye love
I'm going to depart
Oh, I'm leaving
 

How Much You Miss Me

I lived some time at the bottom of the well
Only God knows how much I suffered
What I went through to forget you
 
I thought I was even going crazy
I did nothing wrong, it was over something so small
And I reinvented myself without you
 
It's just that one in love doesn't think
Loving for two is a disease
It's double the suffering
Heartache squared
It's not worth it
 
You had so much time to repent
And only now that I've forgotten you
You come to tell me how much you miss me
Don't even
 
You had so much time to look for me
Now it's my turn to ignore you
You know what do when you tell me you miss me
I won't even say it
 
It's just that one in love doesn't think
Loving for two is a disease
It's double the suffering
Heartache squared
It's not worth it
 
You had so much time to repent
And only now that I've forgotten you
You come to tell me how much you miss me
Don't even
 
You had so much time to look for me
Now it's my turn to ignore you
You know what do when you tell me you miss me
I won't even say it
 

I bet with the Sun

I bet with the Sun
To get to the Germany at the same time
The Sun hasn't rose
When I was already at the seashore
 
There isn't Sun in the afternoon
When I'm already at the sea bend
There isn't Sun in the evening
When I was already in Germany
 
I found the daughter of the Sun
Washing the linden table
Washing the linden table
With barefoot

Swear

I will not change
I will not leave
I will momentarily remember these things
 
The oath you promised me
It's just a matter of years to go and forget it
 
The oat that always stood by me
That promise that you'll always be by my side
 
Like a bubble,in a second
Spread out in my eyes and disappear
 
A vain dream
It's gone
A vain dream
It's gone
A vain dream
Everything was buried in the past
 
Destiny is treachery
The complicated connection between
You and me
My endless battle
My hustle towards you
 
I can't cut it off
I'm going crazy
Get in trouble
 
Your brilliant self
Your last memory of all that
I can't forget the memories with you
 
You erased everything and you left
But I still remember you
 
I'm living in the past
Just one word for me to forget
What I want is what I want
I've lost the memories of you
I hope you erase it quickly
 
Even when you shout into the air
Even if you run like crazy
 
What's all about me and you is over
What I still want is a miracle of you and me
 
Like a bubble,in a second
Spread out into my eyes and disappears
 
A vain dream
It's gone
A vain dream
It's gone
A vain dream
Everything was buried in the past
 
I can still see you
Your voice is ringing in me ears
 
A vain dream
It's gone
A vain dream
It's gone
A vain dream
Everything was buried in the past
You are buried in the past and you are gone
 
It's over
It's over
It's over
There's no turning back
It's over
An unfulfilled pledge of love
 

Sorrow

Sorrow
Since without you, (I) can't delete the sorrow
Since you've gone, (I) miss that much
Missing someone, sinking into a cold shadow
Seems death is in void and cold silence
And in nothing, we hear a lyric
A singing voice ... infatuation
Trying to wait
Warm sunshine of tomorrow will give me laughter
Then I will write you a song, dreams that we forget
That love, who knows who is aware of?
Love becomes a prison, then falls
Oh! That love
Oh! Love cries or smiles
How to say in words? That love buries
Trying to wait
Warm sunshine of tomorrow will give me laughter
Then I will write you a song, dreams that we forget
Sorrow
Since without you, (I) can't delete the sorrow
Since you've gone, (I) miss that much
Missing someone or falling in love?
That love, who knows who is aware of?
Love becomes a prison, then falls
Oh! That love
Oh! Love cries or smiles
How to say in words? That love buries
 

Sărut de dor

Valuri sacre ale lui Tajo,
lasă-mă să-ți sărut apele,
lasă-mă să-ți dau un sărut,
un sărut de durere,
un sărut de dor
să-l duc mării, iar marea în țara mea.
 
Țara mea este cea micuță,
este Capul Verde cea care-i a mea,
țară care pe mare pare un copil,
este fiica oceanului,
este fiica cerului,
țara mamei mele,
țara iubirii mele.
 
Pe valurile tale cristaline,
lasă-mă să-ți dau un sărut
pe gura ta de fetiță.
 
Lasă-mă să-ți dau un sărut, o Tajo,
un sărut de durere,
un sărut de dor
să-l duc mării și marea în țara mea.
 
Pe valurile tale cristaline,
pe gura ta de fetiță,
un sărut de durere,
să-l duci mării, iar marea în țara mea,
să-l duci mării, iar marea în țara mea.

I ran all the way here without rest so why
Is everything around me still so dark, why?
They say time will solve everything
But those words just give me fear
 
Time can’t solve this
I’ll get caught, if I just wait
I have to do something
I have no other way
Is the time here gold or a beast?
If I get caught while playing hide and seek
Would it be me or a dream?
 
Day and night, every day I
I'm afraid I'll get caught
 
I dash out and run, even if I get out of breath
I’m running endlessly
Why is time running so quickly to me?
 
I dash out and run, even if I fall
I’m running without fail
I just need to keep running so the time can’t even see me
 
Woah woah woah yeah yeah
Tick tock tick tock gettin’ closer
Woah woah woah yeah yeah
Tick tock, run fast
 
Watch out, watch out
I should open my eyes
Countdown, countdown
What to do now?
Feels like I’m trapped in an hourglass
 
Watch out, watch out
I should open my eyes
Countdown, countdown
What to do now?
If I stop, it’s over
 
I dash out and run, even if I get out of breath
I’m running endlessly
Why is time running so quickly to me?
 
I dash out and run, even if I fall
I’m running without fail
I just need to keep running so the time can’t even see me
 
Ooh like a tunnel with no light
Yeah ooh, there’s no end, I'm scared
 
Ooh like a tunnel with no light

Why is time running so quickly to me?
 
I dash out and run, even if I fall

Other People

In a new attack of vanity
You ended up sharing everything about your sorrow with the entire world
 
Oh, that hope was crazy, and it's game over
But your tiny heart is still racing
 
But who should you be? (Try being like someone who's a little more)
 
Here he is with Keld Heick
Here he is with Lou Reed in New York
 
But you could draw a straight line from Father Blicher1 to my family
My nature's characterized like that, mute as the rock, silent as the tree
Share and like if you think I look like Michael Falch or Justin Bieber
Staring down at a screen, whispering, 'Take me, lift me, hold me, love me
Hell is other people'
 
Please be merciful to these young men
And forgive them, for they know not what they are saying
 
They'll write anything to see themselves
At the top of a several kilometers long commentary track
 
Let's leave (There's nothing here for us to bring along)
 
Spread your prejudices out, stitch them together into a parachute
Take the leap into your dream and see if it'll work
 
If we're to stand here as the world is ending, let me die as an influencer
All this pop makes me sore and bitter, save me, Henrik, Jens, and Hilmer2
I'm not a confident media madman like Eva Selsing and Mikael Jalving3
Just a man with a dream who thinks, 'Who can afford real enemies?
Hell is other people'

Purple Melancholy, Red Invitation

From the moment we met, we never expressed a word of yearning for one another
Spent many nights stargazing, wishing our fate lasts an entire lifetime and love deepens
Full of nostalgia, I dreamt that someone returned, lips curved up in a beautiful smile
Only to be saddened, the moonlight was still there, and hearing the sound of the wind, realized I was only dreaming
 
When in love, the soul blossoms like a flower, constructing a lovely dream
Grasping the future with certainty, as if it were in your hands, with mere words
Sometimes when we run into each other, I want to bring it it up but decide against it
Too shy to say so, rather let it drift away with the wind
 
Today, seeing the flower-adorned car [wedding sedan] along the road
I sent a letter to the person I loved, a few words of yearning
Spirits soaring for happiness, waiting for a response
Hope in heart extinguished, only to see a red invitation [a wedding invitation]
 
That evening, a purple sunset, walking down an old road, saddened by the strumming [music], breaking my heart
Seeing a white car adorned with flowers, I thought I was dreaming, red fireworks coloring the street purple [once red festive fireworks go off, their remnants are purple]
The letter slowly falls, each piece bearing its own sadness [speaker is tearing up the letter they wrote], thought you came back
I was ready to welcome you with open arms but saw no one
Melancholy rising from the heart, when will it [the heart] find solace?
 

An Avenue Full of Saudade

Who knows how long I take Lisbon in me?
How long have I been raising this city in my voice?
At any time, time does not forgive
It is from this city the blue that hurts me
And time is in us the same age
 
Who knows everything that Lisbon knows about me?
How many seagulls has the quay of this anxiety?
In my chest, there is an echo that stuns me
A pigeon that lifts and flies
An avenue full of saudade1
 
If the night is one of uncertainty and poetry
I close the shutters of joy
I cast my look into clarity
If sadness hurts more than I can bear
 
It is in the deep roots of beauty
That I fill my hands with freedom
 
Who knows everything that Lisbon knows about me?
How many seagulls has the quay of this anxiety?
In my chest, there is an echo that stuns me
A pigeon that lifts and flies
An avenue full of saudade1
 
Knowing how long the pain has tired us
Lisbon is a child in my blood
That brings on the face a little bitterness
But it is a party every dawn
 
Lisbon...
Lisbon is the hope we have left
The capital city of wind and tenderness
 

• a unique Portuguese word that means the feeling of hurt and nostalgia, caused by the absence, disappearance, distance or deprivation of people, times, places or things to which one has been affectionately connected and that one wishes to have again in the present

Without You (Save Me)

Without you, I think I might die.
The sun looks dead now—
life is a sort of game that,
without you, I might not play.
 
Without you, I think I might die.
I would be a lonely man who goes
far afield and then
I would lose my way.
 
I would—
I would like to scream at you—
the door is open—go ahead, go away
I am not afraid of losing you
and I do not want to see you anymore
 
But—
without you, I believe that I might not live—
I might not live more than another day, as only you know—
like a butterfly that
will not live to see the sun twice.
 
But, without you, I think I might die—
I would be a lonely man.
 

War song

Mother's crying, father's tears are pouring
Farewelling their only child to the army
Grandpa leaning on grandma
Hiding his tears with the edge of his hat
 
With God, son, with God, kin
Rush so you don't miss your train
Travel, dear, and take care of yourself
We'll all think of you
 
Uncles have lifted their glasses
'Our soldier' they both say
Aunties have moved to stand alone
Wiping their tears with the edge of their scarves
 
By the end of the gate, a beautiful girl stands
She's not crying yet, but she's counting the minutes
She'll cry when the train leaves
Her heart won't be able to handle it
 

Time Machine

The time machine
Has taken me away
It drives so far away
Maybe to you
 
Maybe I'll be scared on this long road
Maybe it will be tough in the distant future, but it is interesting
High-beams are turned on
 
I believe that you are waiting for me with hope out there
That hope will not die
The coordinates will lead to where love is
I will beat the spaces
 
The time machine
Traps me
I feel in my body how
We are running through time
 
Maybe I'll be scared on this long road
Maybe it will be tough in the distant future, but it is interesting
High-beams are turned on
 
I believe that you are waiting for me with hope out there
That hope will not die
The coordinates will lead to where love is
I will beat the spaces
 
I believe that you are waiting for me with hope out there
And that hope will not die
The coordinates will lead to where love is
I will beat the spaces where you are
 
I am going to where you are, where you are, too
I am going there where you are, where you are, where you are, too
 

The Lost Sheep

Far away upon the wild heath, in cold weather and wind
There wandered the wild sheep and could not find his way
He went around in circles, alone there, back and forth
As storm and ill weather roared, and he found little feed
 
But the herdsman longed for the sheep that had been lost
And he went out searching in fell and dale and cliff
At last he found the sheep, worn out, weak and low
And laid him on his shoulder with affection mild and warm
 
And now the sheep was saved from cold and need and night
And the herdsman was joyful because he had found him again
He called together his friends and they rejoiced together
Because the wild sheep was come home again that day
 
Yeah, I was the sheep, who went the wild way
And Jesus was the herdsman, who went out searching for me
He saved me from sin, and gave my heart peace
And therefore I will praise him for age and eternity
 
In heaven there is rejoicing when a sinner return
From the wild way, which is so cold and dim
Hear the herdsman's voice calling: come home from the wild way
Then you'll be saved from sin, which down to the darkness drags
 

You, the one that left

You, the one that left
without my will
you, whom I wished
only the best
 
Chorus:
I'm writing with my heart not with my hand
a song with a message
leave a picture at the chimney,
a glass of wine
leave a memory
so I don't kiss another woman
 
You, the one that left
that took the happiness with her
you, the one I love and will love
 

I still stand

[Intro: Maitre Gims]
Pambola ngai, nzambe pambola ngai
Limbisa ngai, nzambe limbisa ngai
Limbisa ngai, nzambe limbisa ngai
 
[Refrain: Maitre Gims]
It touches me, but I still stand
I’m touched but I still stand
I'm trying to make ends meet
It hurts but I still stand
It touches me, but I still stand
I’m touched but I still stand
My clothes are full of mud
It hurts but I still stand
 
[Couplet 1: Lefa]
Hardships, we never cease to go through them
No one knows when the vapor will turn around (but)
We still stand we stick together
We endure them because we serve the purpose enduring of blows
Worries prevent me from going to bed early
I only rest when the brothers or the sisters give me a hand
We gnash our teeth when, we go to the extremes
We conceal fatigue despite the baggy eyes and all
 
[Couplet 2: Black M]
Knees on the ground it’s not blows
I’m like the father
Man, I remain standing
By God’s grace I won’t get to the point where I commit suicide
Yes it’s on my knees that I’d like to revive myself
My scars are like my tears
Too proud to show them, even if I’m in pain
A word of encouragement to those who have lost a loved one
I just want to tell the Keita family to take heart
 
[Refrain: Maitre Gims]
It touches me, but I still stand
I’m touched but I still stand
I'm trying to make ends meet
It hurts but I still stand
It touches me, but I still stand
I’m touched but I still stand
My clothes are full of mud
It hurts but I still stand
 
[Couplet 3: Barack Adama]
Worried, you have debts all over
Fortunately, you have friends
You sell the car of your dreams before it gets tax relief
Speaking of ribs, yours a took a hit
On the red list of the Bank of France, you are seen as a cheat
But too bad, tomorrow is another day
Not the type to call for help, nor to turn the other cheek
Very little tears, the cost is already high
They have increased your salary, it was a restricted diet all these years
Fortunately you have faith, you won’t take the path of suicide
Depression wants a rendezvous, but you don’t want to see it
You keep smiling yet it’s your esteem that’s being undermined
But you close down your heart, for fear of it being burgled
 
[Refrain: Maitre Gims]
 
[Interlude: Lefa]
Remain standing , Oh oh oh (x4)
 
[Outro: Lefa, Doomams & Black M]
(Remain standing) To the families of Boulevard Auriol
(Remain standing) The illegal migrants at Courneuve
(Remain standing) To those coming by swimming
(Remain standing) And who go back on a charter flight
(Remain standing) To all those handicapped
(Remain standing) Words of encouragement to those locked
(Remain standing) To all people under oppression
(Remain standing) To our families
Chapiteau, Sow, Diallo
The Keita family, the Bas, Sall family
The M’Baye family, the Seris
The Rocards
To the little Anais Keralla and her entire family
To Zaire, Guinea, Somalia, Rwanda
To the nations in crisis
We still stand!

Dilma - Salutations to Cassava (REMIX)

I'm saluting the cassava,
I'm saluting the cassava.
We're communing the cassava with an ear of corn,
We're communing the cassava with an ear of corn.
 
And, certainly, we (oh~oh) will obtain a lot of (oh~oh) other products
Which were essential
To the development of all human civilization (human civilization).
 
I'm saluting the cassava (cassava),
I'm saluting the cassava (cassava).
I think it's one of the best conquests of Brazil!
I'm saluting the cassava (cassava),
I'm saluting the cassava.
 
When we create a ball like this one,
We become
Homo Sapiens or Women Sapiens.
For me, this ball is the symbol of our evolution.
 
Cassava.
 
We're communing the cassava (oh~oh) with an ear of corn,
We're communing the cassava (cassava) with an ear of corn.
I'm saluting the cassava (cassava),
I'm saluting the cassava.

Southpaw

That terrible guy with the nº 1 shirt is my opponent
Like a flamingo he suddenly stands in one foot
Before his superstar presence
The bench sign is an intentional walk
But I can't escape
 
If I were a man, I'd escape from here
But I'm a woman, I can't do it
Before the timid sign I swing my neck
I'll just throw my victorious magic ball
It's winning or losing
 
The stadium is in silence
It's the moment of the century
The hot game is the love feeling
My chest palpitates, I feel dizzy
I'm gonna lose, I'm gonna lose
 
I'm a pink southpaw
I'm a pink southpaw
Whirling, whirling
My magic ball is a hurricane
 
That terrible guy with the nº 1 shirt is laughing
He laughs saying 'Throw it, girl'
Goodbye to the sexy girl for a moment
Until I finish with a great opponent
It will have to wait
 
Suddenly he stomps his feet. Suspense
It's the thrilling moment
If I get tangled in his hot look
A white spark bursts, my heart is on fire
I'm burning, I'm burning
 
I'm a pink southpaw
I'm a pink southpaw
Whirling, whirling
My magic ball is a hurricane
