Toga jutra sam stigao putničkom klasom Pa kući sa stanice časom kroz bašte i prečice znane A u vojsci sam stekao druga do groba I hroničnu upalu zgloba, suvenir na stražarske dane
Ušao sam na prstima, mati beše već budna i brzo se prekrstila Reče: "Prošlo je k'o za čas, baš si stigao dobro, jer svatovi su tu do nas, Pa će ti svirati, a ti ćeš birati"
Svadba beše k'o svadba i šta da se priča Parada pijanstva i kiča i poznata cura u belom Već po redu poželeh im zdravlja i sreće Iz ruku mi otela cveće i sakrila pogled pod velom
Tad me spaziše cigani, kum je tražio pesmu, al' ja sam stig'o, briga njih širok osmeh i zlatan zub: "Znam da nije ti lako, al' danas nemoj biti grub, nego zapovedi šta ćemo svirati"
Svirajte mi Jesen stiže dunjo moja, jesen rana, nek zazvone tambure u transu Znam da nije pesma ova za veselje i svatovac, al' ja moram čuti tu romansu Svirajte mi Jesen stiže dunjo moja, al' polako, da mi ne bi koja reč promakla Sklon'te čaše i bokale, razbio bih svet od šale, da je samo slučajno od stakla Dunjo moja..
Retko odlazim kući, a pišem još redje I slike su bledje i bledje, a lepe potiskuju ružne Al' nekad poručim piće i tako to krene Pa stignem u svatove njene, sve prave su ljubavi tužne
Nikom ne pričam o tome, brzo dodje taj talas i znam da ću da potonem Spas mi donose cigani, oni imaju srce za svakog od nas, briga njih Oni me pitaju šta da sviraju
Svirajte mi Jesen stiže dunjo moja, jesen rana, nek zazvone tambure u transu Znam da nije pesma ova za veselje i svatovac, al' ja moram čuti tu romansu Svirajte mi Jesen stiže dunjo moja, al' polako, da mi ne bi koja reč promakla Sklon'te čaše i bokale, razbio bih svet od šale, da je samo slučajno od stakla Dunjo moja.. |

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind
Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind Dust in the wind, Everything is dust in the wind

Hello darkness, my old friend, Ive come to talk with you again, Because a vision softly creeping, Left its seeds while I was sleeping, And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone, neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of A neon light, That split the night And touched the sound of silence.
And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening, People writing songs that voices never share And no one deared Disturb the sound of silence.
Fools said i,you do not know Silence like a cancer grows. Hear my words that I might teach you, Take my arms that I might reach you. But my words like silent raindrops fell, And echoed, In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed To the neon God they made. And the sign flashed out its warning, In the words that it was forming. And the signs said, the words of the prophets Are written on the subway walls And tenement halls. And whisperd in the sounds of silence. | September 16
You're so right and you don't think you're wrong You're not on the list and you're in my songs I did right to walk and just leave you there cause no one can stand your fear of fear
You're so wrong, and still think you're right I was too old to pick that fight And I take you touch, just changed your day I broke off with you cause you didn't change... Me
Yeah! Yes it's human It's just human You noticed Yeah! Yeah just human Did you notice? Damn right
You're so right and you don't think you're wrong You're not on the list, you're not in my songs I did right to walk and just leave you there
cause no one can stand your fear of fear
(Metallic) Yeah. Yes it's human Yes it's human You noticed
Yeah! Yes it's human It's just human You noticed Yeah! Your just human Did you notice? Damn right

When you were young and your heart was an open book You used to say live and let live you know you did
you know you did you know you did But if this ever changin' world in which we live in Makes you give in and cry Say live and let die Live and let die
What does it matter to ya When ya got a job to do Ya got to do it well
You got to give the other fella hell
You used to say live and let live you know you did you know you did you know you did But if this ever changin' world in which we live in Makes you give in and cry Say live and let die Live and let die

One man come in the name of love One man come and go One man come here to justify One man to overthrow In the name of love! One man in the name of love In the name of love! What more? In the name of love!
One man caught on a barbed wire fence One man he resists One man washed on an empty beach One man betrayed with a kiss
In the name of love! What more in the name of love? In the name of love! What more? In the name of love!
...nobody like you...there's nobody like you...
Mmm...mmm...mmm... Early morning, April 4 Shot rings out in the Memphis sky Free at last, they took your life They could not take your pride
In the name of love! What more in the name of love? In the name of love! What more in the name of love? In the name of love! What more in the name of love...

Lažes zlato, lažes dušo, Lažes vještice Lažes tvojim slatkim jezikom Kurve svetice Medeno sve mednije Kobno, k’o što niko nikog lagao nije
Postoji milion načina da te ostavim Ali ne postoji ni jedan Da te prebolim Ja sam crn sedef za tvoje uho Ja sam luđak od marcipana dušo
O, biće mi žao Biće meni žao, žao Uzeće je drugi, uzeće je Moja biti neće
Lažes zlato, lažes dušo, Lažes vještice Lažes tvojim slatkim jezikom Kurve svetice Pjevaj, duga je iznad tebe Pjevaj, Bog je danas na tvojoj strani golube

Jacques Prevert - This Love
This love So violent So fragile So tender So hopeless This love Beautiful as the day And bad as the weather When the weather is bad This love so true This love so beautiful So happy So joyous And so pathetic Trembling with fear like a child in the dark And so sure of itself Like a tranquil man in the middle of the night This love that made others afraid That made them speak That made them go pale This love intently watched Because we intently watch it Run down hurt trampled finished denied forgotten Because we ran it down hurt it trampled it finished it denied it forgot it This whole entire love Still so lively And so sunny It's yours It's mine That which has been This always new thing And which hasn't changed As true as a plant As trembling as a bird As warm as live as summer We can both of us Come and go We can forget And then go back to sleep Wake up suffer grow old Go back to sleep again Awake smile and laugh And feel younger Our love stays there Stubborn as an ass Lively as desire Cruel as memory Foolish as regrets Tender as remembrance Cold as marble Beautiful as day Fragile as a child It watches us, smiling And it speaks to us without saying a word And me I listen to it, trembling And I cry out I cry out for you I cry out for me I beg you For you for me for all who love each other And who loved each other Yes I cry out to it For you for me and for all the others That I don't know Stay there There where you are There where you were in the past Stay there Don't move Don't go away We who loved each other We've forgotten you Don't forget us We had only you on the earth Don't let us become cold Always so much farther away And anywhere Give us a sign of life Much later on a dark night In the forest of memory Appear suddenly Hold your hand out to us And save us

Sometimes I feel Like I dont have a partner Sometimes I feel Like my only friend Is the city I live in The city of angel Lonely as I am I drive on her streets Together we cry cause shes my companion I walk through her hills cause she knows who I am She sees my good deeds And she kisses me windy I dont ever want to feel I never worry Like I did that day Now that is a lie Take me to the place I love Take me all the way Its hard to believe That theres nobody out there Its hard to believe That Im all alone At least I have her love The city she loves me I dont ever want to feel Lonely as I am Like I did that day Together we cry Take me to the place I love Take me all the way
Under the bridge downtown Is where I drew some blood Under the bridge downtown I could not get enough Under the bridge downtown Forgot about my love Under the bridge downtown I gave my life away.

You and me We used to be together Everyday together always I really feel That I'm losing my best friend I can't believe This could be the end It looks as though you're letting go And if it's real Well I don't want to know
Don't speak I know just what you're saying So please stop explaining Don't tell me cause it hurts Don't speak I know what you're thinking I don't need your reasons Don't tell me cause it hurts Our memories Well, they can be inviting But some are altogether Mighty frightening As we die, both you and I With my head in my hands I sit and cry Don't speak I know just what you're saying So please stop explaining Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no) Don't speak I know what you're thinking I don't need your reasons Don't tell me cause it hurts It's all ending I gotta stop pretending who we are... You and me I can see us dying...are we? Don't speak I know just what you're saying So please stop explaining Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no) Don't speak I know what you're thinking I don't need your reasons Don't tell me cause it hurts Don't tell me cause it hurts! I know what you're saying So please stop explaining Don't speak, don't speak, don't speak, oh I know what you're thinking And I don't need your reasons I know you're good, I know you're good, I know you're real good Oh, la la la la la la La la la la la la Don't, Don't, uh-huh Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush don't tell me tell me cause it hurts Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush don't tell me tell me cause it hurts | May 26
Sono umane situazioni Quei momenti fra di noi I distacchi ed i ritorni Da capirci niente poi Gia come vedi Sto pensando a te...si...da un po'
They're just human contradictions Feeling happy feeling sad These emotional transitions All the memories we've had Yes, you know it's true I just can't stop thinking of you
No I just can't pretend All the time we spent could die Wanna feel it again All the love we felt then
Confinanti di cuore solo che ognuno sta Dietro gli steccati degli orgogli suoi Sto pensando a te Sto pensando a noi
Sono cose della vita Vanno prese un po' cosi Some for worse and some for better But through it all we've come so far Gia...come vedi Io sto ancora in piedi perche
Sono umani tutti i sogni miei Con le mani io li prenderei, si perche What's life without a dream to hold? Take my hand and never let me go
It's part of life together But what future does it hold? Sono cose della vita Ma la vita poi dov'e
Yes, you know it's true I just can't stop thinking of you Questa notte che passa piano accanto a me Cerco di affrontarla, afferrarla If our hearts miss a beat Or get lost like a ship at sea I wanna remember, I can never forget
Can't stop thinking of you Sto pensando a noi Can't stop thinking of you Can't stop

Parla piu piano e nessuno sentira , Speak quietly and no one will hear Il nostro amore lo viviamo io e te, Our love will live you and I Nessuno sa la verita No one knows the truth Neppure il cielo che ci guarda da lassa Not even the sky that watches us doesnt know Insieme a te io restero I will stay with you Amore mio, sempre cosi My love, always like that Parla piu piano e vieni piu vicino a me Speak quietly and come closer to me Voglio sentire gli occhi miei dentro di te, I want to feel my eyes inside you Nessuno sa la verita No one knows the truth E un grande amore e mai piu grande esistera It is a big love, and bigger love will never exist Insieme a te io restero i will stay with you Amore mio, sempre cosi My love, always like that Parla piu piano e vieni piu vicino a me Speak quietly and come closer to me Voglio sentire gli occhi miei dentro di te, I want to feel my eyes inside you Nessuno sa la verita No one knows the truth E un grande amore e mai piu grande esistera It's a big love, and bigger love will never exist

Because for a Mirror sleeping
Sleep. Do not fear the gaze that wanders. Sleep.
Not the butterfly or the word or the furtive ray from the keyhole will hurt you. Sleep.
As my heart so you, mirror of mine. Garden where love awaits me.
Sleep without a care, but wake when the last one dies the kiss on my lips.
| Wish
Just your hot heart, nothing more.
My Paradise, a field, no nightingales, no strings, a river, discrete, and a little fountain.
Without the spurs, of the wind, in the branches, without the star, that wants to be leaf.
An enormous light that will be the glow of the Other, in a field of broken gazes.
A still calm where our kisses, sonorous circles of echoes, will open, far-off.
And your hot heart, nothing more. | April 14
Wow, I'm sick of doubt Live in the light of certain South Cruel bindings. The servants have the power Dog-men and their mean women Pulling poor blankets over Our sailors
I'm sick of dour faces Staring at me from the tv Tower, I want roses in My garden bower; dig? Royal babies, rubies Must now replace aborted Strangers in the mud These mutants, blood-meal For the plant that's plowed.
They are waiting to take us into The severed garden Do you know how pale and wanton thrillful Comes death on a strange hour Unannounced, unplanned for Like a scaring over-friendly guest you've Brought to bed Death makes angels of us all And gives us wings Where we had shoulders Smooth as raven's Claws
No more money, no more fancy dress This other kingdom seems by far the best Until it's other jaw reveals incest And loose obedience to a vegetable law.
I will not go Prefer a feast of friends To the giant family.

In My Sky At Twilight
In my sky at twilight you are like a cloud and your form and colour are the way I love them. You are mine, mine, woman with sweet lips and in your life my infinite dreams live.
The lamp of my soul dyes your feet, the sour wine is sweeter on your lips, oh reaper of my evening song, how solitary dreams believe you to be mine!
You are mine, mine, I go shouting it to the afternoon's wind, and the wind hauls on my widowed voice. Huntress of the depth of my eyes, your plunder stills your nocturnal regard as though it were water.
You are taken in the net of my music, my love, and my nets of music are wide as the sky. My soul is born on the shore of your eyes of mourning. In your eyes of mourning the land of dreams begin.

Your Laughter
Take bread away from me, if you wish, take air away, but do not take from me your laughter.
Do not take away the rose, the lance flower that you pluck, the water that suddenly bursts forth in joy, the sudden wave of silver born in you.
My struggle is harsh and I come back with eyes tired at times from having seen the unchanging earth, but when your laughter enters it rises to the sky seeking me and it opens for me all the doors of life.
My love, in the darkest hour your laughter opens, and if suddenly you see my blood staining the stones of the street, laugh, because your laughter will be for my hands like a fresh sword.
Next to the sea in the autumn, your laughter must raise its foamy cascade, and in the spring, love, I want your laughter like the flower I was waiting for, the blue flower, the rose of my echoing country.
Laugh at the night, at the day, at the moon, laugh at the twisted streets of the island, laugh at this clumsy boy who loves you, but when I open my eyes and close them, when my steps go, when my steps return, deny me bread, air, light, spring, but never your laughter for I would die.
