Bertolt Brecht - Die Ballade von der sexuellen Hörigkeit versuri traducere în engleză

English (poetic)

The Ballad of Sexual Dependency

Now, here's one as good as the devil himself
The butcher, he, and all the others, calves
The cheekiest dog! The worst whoremonger!
Who does him in, who does them all in? Women
Don't ask if he likes it, he's up for it
That's sexual dependency

He does not believe in the Bible, nor the law
He thinks himself the greatest egotist
Knows who so much as glances at a woman is compromised
And won't let a woman near him
He shouldn't celebrate too soon
Before it's night, he'll lie upstairs again

Many a man saw many a man croak
A great mind got stuck in a whore
And those who witnessed it, whatever they might have sworn to themselves,
When they croaked, who buried them? Whores
Whether they like it or not, they're up for it
That's sexual dependency

That one follows the Bible, flouts the law
He'll be a Christian, he'll be an anarchist
At lunch, you force yourself not to eat celery
In the afternoon, you devote yourself to some idea
In the evening, you say, 'I'll make it to the top'
But before it's night, you lie upstairs again

Now, here's one as good as on the gallows
They already bought the lime for his body
His life hangs by a brittle little thread
And what's he thinking of, the fellow? Girls
Even on the gallows, he's up for it
That's sexual dependency

He's long sold, anyway, lock, stock, and barrel
He's seen her with her thirty pieces of silver
And now he begins to understand
That that woman's hole is the one he'll be buried in
And though he may ramp and rage against himself,
Before it's night, he'll lie upstairs again

Stratos Dionysiou - Σκιά που σέρνομαι (Skia pou sernome) versuri traducere în engleză

Shadow crawling

The lights go out, the doors close
And I'm crouched at the table, dazed,
a figure lost in my drunken stupor,
'a drink', I say, 'one more', tearful.

Shadow crawling in my late night,
in my drinking and cigarette smoke.
Your memories come to mind
like scattered notes on an untuned guitar.
Shadow crawling.

The hall emptied, the people are gone
and I am left in the back, forgotten.
In a monologue I speak to you,
in the glass and in a daze immersed.

Shadow crawling in my late night,
in my drinking and cigarette smoke.
Your memories come to mind
like scattered notes on an untuned guitar.
Shadow crawling.

Goodnight

Farewell and goodnight to you all
Goodnight and bless you all
I wish you good health always
Goodnight, bless you all

There's not a musical instrument that plays
That makes my heart more joyful
Than the sound of young girls singing
Goodnight, bless you all

And the voice that fills my heart with songs
Is the happy sound of young people singing
A peaceful place from the days of my youth
Joy be with you always

There's not a musical instrument that plays
That makes my heart more joyful
Than the sound of young girls singing
Goodnight, bless you all

An abyss

In our hands, lips, hair and our shoulders,
In our words, thoughts, eyes and our silence,
Today, we are similar and differ with you,
It's half step between us, so far like an abyss.
You little one, scared of darkness so much
I'm feeling all that, I see all of you
I'll be your warm blanket, your mantle
If you only ask me,
'Till you want to end it

In letters, in pictures, in writings, in dreams
Cannot be expressed what's happens between us
I know how the loneliness feels time to time
It's half step to you, so far like an abyss
I wish to shout out to you, I wish you could listen
I'm tiptoe, I'm groping, at half strength, I'm rushing
Tell me if we feel the same way with the others
In our hands, lips, hair and our shoulders?

For you, for you
I summons in vain at the midnight
Never, ever betray you or let somebody take you out
So now, so now I'll turn into a pillar of salt1,
But I, but I will trust you like in last one

Our common world is going to hell
Like a blast wave, snow avalanche descents
Let everything goes awry, wrong way, bass-ackwards
Just to your voice went right into my heart.

1. 'become a pillar of salt' - sending to Bible, when Lot's wife is turned into a pillar of salt when she look back to her crushing city. In song man don't mind to become a rock of salt only for going back to their crushing relations

Let It Come

Let it come like definitely
Let your soul pick up heavy, put down light like the wind on the porch
And let the wind blow gently
Don't hurry
With my melody
Upset that day, didn't see you over
Afraid you'll pay attention to the thing that separates us
You don't know, what to do
Also betraying
With a lover, that's all

And only when you see those two tears
Feel so empty
When you only live for yourself
Find your name in the forgotten
You when you first met me
Been buried, for long
No matter how much you try to hold
Fought back some words
Now all I say will be too quick in your eyes
Just need you to love me, that's it
That should be enough
Hoo, ooh-hoo-ooh-hoo

The rock on the cliff
Where has it rolled
Why are you still waiting for him?
Too far from you (have far from you)
Too far to tomorrow (To tomorrow)
To walk away without coming back
As if I was never alive

To let you see those two tears (those two tears)
See the void you left (see the void)
When you only ever live for yourself (When you left me in the void)
Leave your name in oblivion
You when you first knew me
Been hiding, for too long
No matter how much you try to cling
And just argue back
Even the time will make your eyes sadden
Just need you to love me, that's all
Guess I'm done talking
Hoo, ooh-hoo-ooh-hoo

Hah, ah-ah-ah
Hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

When you see those two tears (see those two tears)
See the emptiness (See the emptiness)
When you only live for yourself) (When you left me in the void)
So I'll leave your name in the back of my head
You when you first met me, hoo
Let it come like definitley
