An Island for Lovers

Offer an island,
offer an island
to young men in love.
And leave them alone
with the wind whispering
their dreams.
 
Even the sea,
even the sea,
would calm its waters.
And the happy sky
would find for them
another moon.
 
Thus the day will fade away
and the night will reign forever—
and the song of a siren will follow them along.
 
So I want an island,
I want an island,
where I can bring my lover.
And stay out of sight
from people who might laugh at us
when we kiss.
 
Thus the day will fade away
and the night will reign forever—
and the song of a siren will follow them along.
 
So I want an island,
I want an island,
where I can bring my lover.
And stay out of sight
from people who might laugh at us
when we kiss.
 

At the hours of the night

Without a friend I've lived my whole long life
A heart without love in the dark
Living alone in pain is the journey long, endless
 
Yet one more day leaves behind
Lights go out, ahead of me is a bottomless pit
Begins the hour of the last moment of life
So weak on the inside, very hapless
 
The hours of the night show their face
To its shadows writes that moment eternal
Drives away the fear, taking the pains with it
 
Painstakingly proceeds on the last journey1
Didn't the end ever come
Darkness besides me eternally
 
At the hours of the night I'm left alone
At the hours of the night I'm not afraid of the dark
 
Even if I'm left here alone
I'm not afraid of the dark
 

• 1. 'polkea paikallaan' is literally 'to stomp in place' and means that something is proceeding very slowly or is completely stuck in place, implying that the situation is quite difficult.

So beautiful

This won't be the end of it1, I want to receive everything,
That can be received,
In disorder is the head
Like that of a young wild boy,
When he's really rebelling2
 
And this horrifies me
How will I survive, if you I lose
 
You are so beautiful, perfect
Our night I'll never forget
The kisses that I got, they are only scorching in my soul now
I make my journey to you still
 
They aren't enough to me, these secret messages at the time of the night
Only heated ecstasy
Heart is pounding
Again, like that of a young wild boy
When he's wrenching in frenzy
 
And this shocks me
How could I endure, if without you I remain
 
You are so beautiful, perfect
Our night I'll never forget
The kisses that I got, they are only scorching in my soul now
I make my journey to you still
 
You are so beautiful, wondrous
You offered a moment of redemption
From the shadows of the solemn earth, neither of us hesitated3
When we reached for the heavens so
 
We, for the heavens so4
 
You are so beautiful, perfect
Our night I'll never forget
The kisses that I got, they are only scorching in my soul now
I make my journey to you still
 
You are so beautiful, wondrous
You offered a moment of redemption
From the shadows of the solemn earth, neither of us hesitated3
When we reached for the heavens so, for the heavens so
 

• 1. Lit. 'This won't remain here'. The phrase 'Tämä ei jää tähän' is something that you can say when you end up in an argument or a fight, you're not contempt with the conclusion and want to tell the other party that this will be resumed at a later time. It thus implies strong displeasure with the current state of things.
• 2. I wasn't able to find a good English equivalent for the word 'teutaroida'. It's an urban word that can be used when a dog for example is going here and there in panic/anger/joy, pulling the leash and trying to break free. The word 'oikein' implies that this action is done seriously or with great effort. The word 'se' is the non-human 3rd person 'it', but using it when referring to a person is rather common in casual Finnish.
• There might be a mistake in the Finnish lyrics, but it's hard to say. 'ei epäröi nyt kumpikaan' means 'neither [of us] hesitates now' whereas 'ei epäröinyt kumpikaan' means 'neither [of us] hesitated'. Both kind of make sense and in a song the pronunciation can be exactly the same as well, but it seems to me that the latter is the correct one.
• 4. This sentence is intentionally lacking parts, but it doesn't sound as good in English as it does in Finnish

Fair Kerttu of Karelia

I remember how I walked the streets of Vyborg*
The Papula bridge was left behind me
I was so happy to run into you
It was a wonderful night
 
When the moment came
When we met again
We had a pleasant conversation
The moon shone sweetly as we dreamt together
 
Refrain (2x):
I have so many memories of Vyborg
Now I've lost Kerttu too
When I see you again, Kerttu
We'll have our wedding in the Round Tower*
I'll have you sit on my lap
And I'll know that you're forever mine
 

More beautiful tomorrow

Hey! You dwindle with the Moon
What's wrong? Do not give up!
Tell it!
Hey! The crime is not that if it hurts
But the silent mouth
Speak now!
 
Hey! Run throught the space
Come, I'm waiting here for you
Only for you
Hey! Too many problems, I understand
But light comes for us
 
Your smile will heat me throughly, encahnts me
You beleive that a more beautiful tomorrow could be from today
Come with me you must step over the no
I have faith that you reaching throught once the all
 
Your smile will heat me throughly, encahnts me
You beleive that a more beautiful tomorrow could be from today
Come with me you must step over the no
Fell that the sorrow went far
 
Hey! You get a new dress
The love put it on you
Wear it then!
Hey! Look up, Sun shines on you
How could you deny that?
 
Your smile will heat me throughly, encahnts me
You beleive that a more beautiful tomorrow could be from today
Come with me you must step over the no
I have faith that you reaching throught once the all
 
Your smile will heat me throughly, encahnts me
You beleive that a more beautiful tomorrow could be from today
Come with me you must step over the no
Fell that the sorrow went far
 
(Heat me throughly, encahnts me...
You must step over the no)
 
Refrain:
 

Anthem of the Lebanese Communist Party

We are a flag that unites all people
From the East, the West, the North and the South
We are the army that remains after the war
We're the ones eaten by fire!
 
We're the ones who faced fire and gunpowder
We made the name 'Leader' immortal
So the leadership remains even if our soldiers died
They died in the colonial war!
 
We will not remain slaves with a hundred identities
This hymn unites us, this salute unites us
We will not remain slaves with a hundred identities
This hymn unites us, this salute unites us
 
Oh Era of divided nations, salute, salute!
Oh Era of divided nations, salute, salute!
 
We do not believe that there is a day,
Together we managed to build this world
You, whose name is Comrade, come and join me
 
My arm in yours, day and night
This World is all ours, along with all the roses
Nothing separates us but the borders
We are the ones who remain loyal to our promises
 
From Lebanon, and there are a lot of us
 
We will not remain slaves with a hundred identities
This hymn unites us, this salute unites us
We will not remain slaves with a hundred identities
This hymn unites us, this salute unites us
 
Oh Era of divided nations, salute, salute!
Oh Era of divided nations, salute, salute!
 

The earth is so beautiful

The earth is so beautiful
The creator's sky is bright
The souls' pilgrimage is wonderful
Through the world
We wander singing
Traveling towards heaven
 
Time flies
Years go by
Generations fall into oblivion
Forever bright
The singing souls'
Heavenly sound remains
 
First the angels
Sung to the shepherds
The sound echoes from soul to soul
Glory to the Lord
Peace on earth
For Jesus brought us mercy
 

I don't give a damn

Rolling in my bed until hitting the wall, I hear you with my back
You're leaving as I expected
You're collecting memories that say 'Not all was bad'
You put them in your bag worrying
 
If you go, I wish you happiness
If you feel like returning, do it anytime
Let me at least cool down a little
And go while I pretend to be asleep
Aaaaah Aaaaah Aaaaah
Aaaaah Aaaaah Aaaaah
 
Holding a bourbon bottle I stand near the window late at night
I can see you wandering
For some reason, saying goodbye feels so boring
So I bid you farewell with a soft 'Bye'
 
It's not that I enjoyed bothering you
It's just that I was embarassed to say that it was love
Even if it's night, I'm gonna play a loud record
I'll have fun until the morning with my one man show
Aaaaah Aaaaah Aaaaah
Aaaaah Aaaaah Aaaaah
 
Even if it's night, I'm gonna play a loud record
I'll have fun until the morning with my one man show
Aaaaah Aaaaah Aaaaah
Aaaaah Aaaaah Aaaaah

Beautiful Home

You awake before me just like always
Brew coffee, read the newspaper, just like always
When I come next to you
Again you leave
Without thinking to say good morning
You are again in the middle of something
 
I remember when we went to Ikea
To buy that sectional *(see note)
We were so sure then
That we wouldn't sit on this old one anymore
All of our stuff has it's place
Of us you are the better cleaner
Even though we are suffocating each other between these walls
We have a beautiful house
 
You go to sleep before me just like always
I watch tv with the dog on Saturday
Sometimes I wonder whether I'm the only one
Who thinks that is we break up,
Who gets our Aino *(see note)
 
I remember when we went to Ikea
To buy that sectional *(see note)
We were so sure then
That we wouldn't sit on this old one anymore
All of our stuff has it's place
Of us you are the better cleaner
Even though we are suffocating each other between these walls
We have a beautiful house
 
I hate Salatut Elämät *(see note)
You hate Salatut Elämät
But at 7:30p.m.
Again we watch Salatut Elämät
Here there is no discussing
No more loving
Here we just live
 
I remember when we went to Ikea
To buy that sectional *(see note)
We were so sure then
That we wouldn't sit on this old one anymore
All of our stuff has it's place
Of us you are the better cleaner
Even though we are suffocating each other between these walls
We have a beautiful house
 
We have a beautiful house
We have a beautiful house
We have a beautiful house
We have a beautiful house
We have a beautiful house
 

Beautiful And Proud

Versions: #2
The roads are mine
The dust that gathers
Is in my lungs
 
The houses are mine
The shadow that falls
Darkens my streets
 
The darkness is mine
The day that ends
Is too bright
 
Because you got everything you wanted
You became beautiful and proud
Because you got everything you wanted
You became beautiful and proud
 
The trees are mine
The branch that bends
Touches your hand
 
You are mine
The taste that sticks
Is on my lips
 
Because you got everything you wanted
You became beautiful and proud
Because you got everything you wanted
You became beautiful and proud
 
The scent of your skin is good
 
Because you got everything you wanted
You became beautiful and proud
Because you got everything you wanted
You became beautiful and proud
 

A beautiful day

Versions: #2
There was love, maybe it'll reform
It'll make it, even though it once failed
Tomorrow will have something in store that I saw coming
Today
 
I wake up and I might recover at some point
And I wish, sometimes even believe
That the solace I saw coming will come
Today
 
You were gone when I turned back around
I could only spot your shadow
He shook my hand firmly and adviced me to get up
You were gone when I turned back around, you were gone
 
My feet get stronger, they hold me up
I throw away my evenings but morning forgives
And I'll get up even though I'm falling
I'll get up though I'm falling
 
You were gone when I turned back around
I could only spot your shadow
He shook my hand firmly
And adviced me to get up
 
You were gone when I turned back around
I could barely reach your shadow
He escorted you without any explanation
He told me to not follow
You were gone when I turned back around, you were gone
 
I wake up and I might recover at some point
And I wish, sometimes even believe
That the solace I saw coming will come
Today
Because a day is beautiful
 

I'm Not in Love With Your Eyes

Versions: #2
Confused, troubled! Mismatched, why, what is it?
I want to nonchalantly peek at the answer, a bad habit, isn’t it
 
It’s ambient unrest! However, in the middle of comprehending,
I’m always getting saved by a whirlpool of bitter thoughts
 
A wrong virtual image, infused with a wrong vision of the future
I think it’d be best to stop soon, but
 
So that I can at least hear your voice properly
I’ll get wet in a storm, I won’t mind because I’ll leave it to the bath towel
In a world shined on by the golden wavering sun, I’ve already
Thought a little about trying to live, you might be why
I might die regretting it Things like guarantees are after all useless
In a naive moment, being deceived?
 
I ate up sentiment! In the middle of running side-by-side with the unexpected
Catching up, getting ahead, doing it over again is human nature
 
Feeling sad and grumbling, instantly coming to an agreement and resetting
It can’t be that simple to do, huh?
 
I’m not in love with your eyes but I understand
When you lose something important, that breaking feeling
A shining rainbow-colored happiness, even if such a thing doesn’t exist
There are still things created from a teaspoonful of simple machinery
 
My confidence is in high spirits, I’ve gotten used to failing severely and things I was afraid of
And I fell into a never-ending loop, it’s a disease, a disease, well, just a little until the tide pulls
 
I’m not in love with your eyes but I understand
When you lose something important, that breaking feeling
A shining rainbow-colored happiness, even if such a thing doesn’t exist
A thing created from a teaspoonful of simple machinery
Could you try to believe me a little, even though it’s true there’s no guarantee
You can hold my hand, after all
 

Spring is coming and we

As the golden dandelions begin to bloom, droplets that failed to become snow are dripping.
They looked a bit like a crying face, so I offered my umbrella without even thinking.
Right? Left? Which is the right way? The road ends before we can even decide.
But when someone special comes to mind, we’ll choose the path that saves them from pain.
 
With a small bit of courage, we proceed forward.
When the path gets jagged, we head diagonally.
Once we’ve made progress, it’ll become new light!
With the calling of songbirds, like their close embrace,
The tick-tock of the season’s clock can be heard.
 
Spring comes again and we drip our paints upon a new page.
We became friends. We ate delicious things. We even argued, just a little bit.
Holding our respective days close to our hearts, we’ve watched light stream through the trees again and again.
We head toward a future we believe won’t be a mistake.
As our one-way tickets flutter in the tailwinds pushing us onward, today is a gold star day!
 
We get caught up out of nowhere and worry too much. We think we’re happy, but something doesn’t seem right.
We feel like we’re back at zero again. It’s quite the maze!
But the most random thing can make us smile in an instant.
Just like that, just like that, I’m sure we can keep ourselves going!
 
Changing our hair style, we press the shutter.
Leaping over a puddle, we press the shutter.
A splash glides through the air and we feel somehow moved.
We’ll wish for each and every blink to become a photograph!
 
As we make our brushes dance, we begin to wish we could stop time.
But the smiles overflow, becoming a never-before-seen color. They can’t be contained by our field of view.
We’re not doing all this for whomever will read the finished pages. That’s not quite it, right?
There’s an answer we can only understand in this moment!
If we’re still saying “I don’t know”, let’s at least say “Who cares?” as we stick out our tongues!
 
Even if the fate in which our dreams come true is a lie,
Let’s mix in some different colors, making yet another future!
By the time God gets fed up, we’ll already feel a warm wind coming on.
 
Spring comes again and we… I’m so sorry, we’ll end up being selfish.
We’ll wish to keep the new, in equal measure to the things we’ve treasured all along.
 
Spring comes again and we drip our paints upon a new page.
We became friends. We ate delicious things. We even argued, just a little bit.
Holding our respective days close to our hearts, we’ve watched light stream through the trees again and again.
We head toward a future we believe won’t be a mistake.
Our one-way tickets flutter
From the tailwinds pushing us onward. I’ve chosen this answer with my own two feet, so watch me as I go!
 

There's No Love in Your Eyes

So lost and confused! Why is everything not how it should be?
I want to look at the answer like I just don't care, but I know I shouldn't.
 
Ambient and disturbing! But to be fair I'm still chewing on it,
From the whirlpool made of my bitter promises to save you.
 
A mistaken pretense, infused into our mistaken future plan.
I've been thinking that it might be the time to put it to rest.
 
As long as I can hear your voice alone more clearly than anything,
I don't care if I'm drenched in this storm. I'll just leave the towels to you.
The sun, shimmering in gold, shines its light on the whole world.
If it weren't for you, I don't think I'd want to live in it any longer.
I might die with all of my regrets in tow. And I can't rely on any guarantees.
Was I tricked by a moment of happiness?
 
Sentiment slapped me in the face! Always keeping up without me knowing.
It catches up and then passes me by, that's what we call this thing called life.
 
I grumble, down in the dumps. Seems someone agreed and hit reset.
Not like you could ever change something as easily as that.
 
I can't see a single trace of love in your eyes, but I totally get it.
On the day you lost everything, you can't help but feel like you're breaking.
Even if you don't have the happiness of a shining rainbow in the sky,
You can make all of the colors yourself with just a teaspoon of water.
 
You lose your nerve when you make a mistake, and all the times you feel scared.
If you get used to it you'll never recover, at least not until the tide rolls out.
 
I can't see a single trace of love in your eyes, but I totally get it.
On the day you lost everything, you can't help but feel like you're breaking.
Even if you don't have the happiness of a shining rainbow in the sky,
You can make all of the colors yourself with just a teaspoon of water.
Won't you try to give faith a chance? Though it's true that there's no guarantees.
You can just hold on to my hand.
 

Listening to Linear Blue

Can I replay it again? I'm not gonna stop, you know.
Lost in the trance, with no reason or sense.
 
If today I’m still not good enough, I'll just have to postpone it once more.
Unbalanced? So what if it's hard to understand.
 
Always unaware, stifling the countless sighs
Frazzled by imitations
But even when I crash into the other's justice, I'm alright.
I still have to be me.
 
Though all on my own, I'm listening to the linear blue
And I so wish to believe you're waiting for me at the end of it.
If I give up, I'll never reach you.
I'm sure there's tomorrow - the most important there's ever been
So today the melody will play on, over and over again.
 
Ah, so that's what it’s like
The astronomical potential to bear everything that comes down one day
A speck of the Big Bang show.
 
It's more than enough
It's unconditional
You know, I'll show you
The show of a single instant
That paints a parabola onto the future.
 
Our hearts knit together, with no intention or aim
And the feelings have stirred, unstoppable.
Would you say it's wrong?
Well, I don't give a damn.
It's not for them to decide.
 
Linear blue seeps into the tedium of today
And I feel like I'm now a bit closer to the magic of the sky
Can you hear it?
Like long-awaited sunset, creeping near and bringing joy to a lone man
The melody whirls into space.
 
It doesn't have to be right now.
But if at the end - at the very last moment - I could finally touch you
It’d be a sacrilege to fold under some trifling hardship now
And the reason is simple enough
'I truly mean it'.
 
Though all on my own, I'm listening to the linear blue
And I so wish to believe you're waiting for me at the end of it.
If I give up, I'll never reach you.
I'm sure there's tomorrow - the most important there's ever been
So there can be no hesitation, none at all.
 
Where's that shining end full of smiles and laughter?
I ask myself countless times as the night passes by.
But if give up I won't reach it.
For you're waiting for me, in the same sky and space.
 
I want us to make music together, but for now
The melody will play on, over and over again.
 

Tracing the Orion

Good day to you. Something's wrong, isn't it? I can tell from just one look at your face.
You think I have extrasensory perception or something? Don't be silly now!
 
Bored girl, do you wish to be talented? A decision comes after a barrage of deliberations.
The streets will dance to your Venus sustain.
 
Perfectly, Euphoria!
 
At times we cry at even the most insignificant words.
See, we are fairly moderately dramatic. We can easily become superstars.
 
In a night as deep as this, where we're tracing the Orion constellation,
We want to be connected. We want to be separated. In short, we're dubious and muddled up.
Wishing for a brand-new future, if only we could weave out
some marvelous never-before-heard words, then even time will stop.
 
'IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO END HERE.'
 
Let's have a toast in celebration of the grand announcement of our newest technology.
Is it extrasensory perception? Is it? At this moment, nothing will be disclosed.
 
Bored girl, are you singing a song? Don't worry if your audience is somewhat barren.
I find your Venus sustain unquestionably touching.
 
Perfectly, Euphoria!
 
We're so tightly knit that we're inseparable. It's about time you realize this!
Now, use your right hand to grope for treasures at the bottom of the darkness. Tension MAX!
 
We will sing in praise for our youthful days at the end of which we can smile,
as well as the days where we dream, love, and become utterly astounded again and again.
If you could grasp the true meaning behind the knife I carry,
then you would make me really really happy.
 
Even if I have stumbled and fallen,
I was standing just a moment ago, so I can still stand up now.
My shining voice becomes lighter, floats up, and drifts away as far as possible.
 
In a night as deep as this, where we're tracing the Orion constellation,
We want to be connected. We want to be separated. In short, we're dubious and muddled up.
Wishing for a brand-new future, if only we could weave out
some marvelous never-before-heard words, then even time will stop
 
In a night as deep as this, where we're tracing the Orion constellation,
I am here, and you're here, and that's more than enough to make me grateful.
Wishing for a brand-new future, if only we could weave out
some marvelous never-before-heard words, then we shall let them fly into the sky.
 
We will accept and love our past, and then look at some never-before-seen scenery.
'IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO END HERE.'
 

Heaven and Hell

Who is normal in this show?
 
frustration of banknotes and conferences
her mister, the boss’s yell is pointless
merely resounding, it’s distorted, I’m not in the registry of name
 
throwing a fresh tomato at the white walls
because we don’t want to spill unnecessary blood
nontheless, the triad collapse, causing puzzles beyond our expectations to occur, shake it
 
whether it is the suspect, whether it is treachery
there is no end to it, hence let’s stay around until the result is out
 
counting the heavens and hells
before I get killed out of boredom
I raised unwavering condition and definite reasons, and wait on your reply
counting the heavens and hells
as it flickers before my eyes, I can’t deny my inferiority complex
I’ll be there because I won’t let you go, making noise selfishly tonight as well
 
it is merely madness till the end
tick-tack of the diamond, as if it is rolling within my palms
such strong spirit, such hate, I don’t think I can get used to it
 
the idea of “ladies first”, giving presents spontaneously
as they don’t exist in my dictionary, I’ll leave to it the few gentlemen
 
counting the heavens and hells
before I get killed out of boredom
without reducing growth, putting on simplicity and good conduct, I’ll play with your humility
counting the heavens and hells
I will not be deceived into sly errors by your innocence
Watch your step! aa don’t look down on adults, comfortably making noise selfishly
 
on the bass with the fakest beat!
on the drums with clever shots!
chaotic show at the same time!
 
OK people, one more time
 
counting the heavens and hells
before I get killed out of boredom
I raised unwavering condition and definite reasons, and wait on your reply
counting the heavens and hells
as it flickers before my eyes, I can’t deny my inferiority complex
I’ll be there because I won’t let you go, making noise selfishly tonight as well
however I am attracted to your beauty
 

After everything you're beautiful

A piece of soil was left as they were carried
Upon your wing
Two boys into your bed
We fit easily
And when he fell asleep on his side
You descended the stairs, down and down
 
After everything you're beautiful
After everything
 
The year went like footsteps
Rabbit leaps
I grew used to your jacket in the clothes hook
And you gave your sign
A piece of soil was left as we vowed
Under nails, rising, bending
 
After everything you're beautiful
After everything
 
The yellow ship is laden with us
The red ship is laden with us
The blue ship is laden with us
The white ship is laden with us
 

Marked for Life

[Chorus: Dokou]
Because I'm marked for life
Marked by my time
I sing the scars
the cries and the revolt
Yes I'm marked for life
Just like you I bear
the hazards of life
Even when the devil knocks at my door
Because I'm marked for life
Marked for life
 
[Verse 1: Tunisiano]
I'm marked by life
Marked by the conflicts
Marked by our time
Cast aside, body bruised
Gone too soon
Assassinated friends,
No lovely novels,
The feelings are paper
Too emotional, it's never the right moment
To talk about it
However
Simple loudspeaker
Ghetto narrator
Skinned by life and by the tears
I write in the heart of the funeral pyre.
In the game of hate
They fell
We set fire to the plains
Continue
The next firefighter
Will be Le Pen in quarantine.
We wander in the open air, we slave away
They covered up the poverty
Like in a crime scene.
Determined to reach the target, I move forward
Sneaking, hiding out,
The devil tempts me,
I miss Moumouss
Locked up
In a cell
Waiting for the heart to come back to life
No-one comes out of their cell
With the keys to success.
We invite ourselves in
Without notice, you're not thrilled
We're hated and banished,
We're marked for life.
 
[Chorus: Dokou]
 
[Verse 2: Tunisiano]
Courted by the devil
Presumed guilty
My life is not profitable
Abused
And I'll f*** them
With no parental lock
And slave away and not get s***
When outside it's a monsoon
You sob that you thirst for an ideal,
A bit like Alain Souchon
I'm moving in traffic jams,
So not ready to be flashed.
A heart of teflon
It's only in a car that you can get attached/buckle up
My sound relates to you
It had to. Suicidal
On a Charley
In concert I found out
Who I was talking to.
In the competition,
On my life I'll wring them out
I'm coming, storm warning,
On the game the rain is pouring
On a quest for the title
But who can shut me up?
Rap with my heart and soul
Rap as if it was my last
Flipping out about these times
You click on old farts
They swindle us
You've got a boner
They're topless in their videos
But f*** it says a lot
Miss you're really into the scumbags
Choose a guy who has ambition
Swag doesn't pay the bills
 
[Chorus: Doku]
 
[Tunisiano]
Marked by life
Honest people are oppressed
Cast aside, dirtied or underestimated
Prove we can measure up
Yes proud of our values
Neglected despite so much potential
A thought for our mates in the sky.
Because I'm marked for life.
 

The communist old man

An old man who used to be a communist
sits down to smoke the entire evening.
 
While good rain falls outside
the old man thinks with a naked voice.
 
Why is it that they coincide on his window,
the grey pigeons and the sorrow he smoked
the grey pigeons and the sorrow he smoked.
 
He turns his eyes to a distant day
to a book, a verse,
to a girl, a thought
to a book, a verse,
to a girl, a thought
 
He believes nothing can surprise him anymore
that he's cured of the fright,
he wore out the cry
that he's cured of the fright,
he wore out the cry.
 
He remembered songs he used to sing
and conversations he had with friends until dawn
and conversations he had with friends until dawn.
 
He remembered the corner of his house
when he said good bye and saw his mother crying
when he said good bye and saw his mother crying.
 
And now it's also raining in his eyes
because he's surprised it still hurts.
 
The years, life, his love,
they all still hurt.
 

Colorful dreams

Granddad's dream is of a light brown color,
It's a large and soft armchair where one could rest their nerves
And grandma's dream is a wonderful flowergarden
Where there's many vibrant blossoms and a velvetsoft lawn
 
On daddy's mind there is a large and slick limousine,
Of a blueish-black color and takes us everywhere
But our mommy's wish is a fine and fashionable partydress
Which is seagreen, which has a wonderful glint
 
But my dream is the color of a rainbow
There's the shades of yellow sun, melting water and rain-gray
There I sit with the soft armchair in granny's garden
Eat red-ripe strawberries and count raisins in my loaf
 
Dreams are what give thoughts wings
 
Every small, every large one has gazillion dreams
If even one's fulfilled then several more are born
 

Three things of beauty

Two things of beauty exist in summer:
Leaf in the tree, grass on the land
I will be the third one
I'm a leaf that flutters
I'm a flower that blazes
I'm a grass that wavers
But I have no care nor concern
A good grass, to waver
A good flower, to blaze
A leaf of love, to flutter
Evil men don't know of the kind one
Scoundrels don't know of the beauty
Derelicts of the one that glows
Boozehounds of the one with red blood
