    Svirajte mi jesen stize dunjo moja



      
    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..

    Dust in the Wind





      
               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

    Sound of silence






    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.

    Carpark North - Human





      
    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

    Live and let die





      
    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

    Pride (In the name of love)





    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...

    Bijelo Dugme - Lazes







    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

    Under The Bridge










    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.

    No Doubt - Don't speak


    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

    Eros Ramazzotti - Cose della vita (with Tina Turner)




    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

    Frederico Garcia Lorca


    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

    Severed Garden









    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.

    Pablo Neruda

             


    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.
