Rose tattoo



The pictures tell the story
This life had many shades
I'd wake up every morning and before I'd start each day
I'd take a drag from last nights cigarette
That smoldered in its tray
Down a little something and then be on my way

I traveled far and wide
And laid this head in many ports
I was guided by a compass
I saw beauty to the north
I drew the tales of many lives
And wore the faces of my own
I had these memories all around me
So I wouldn't be alone

Some may be from showing up
Others are from growing up
Sometimes I was so messed up and didn't have a clue
I ain't winning no one over
I wear it just for you
I've got your name written here
In a rose tattoo

In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I've got your name written here
In a rose tattoo

This ones for the mighty sea
Mischief, gold and piracy
This ones for the man that raised me
Taught me sacrifice and bravery
This ones for our favorite game
Black and gold, we wave the flag
This ones for my family name
With pride I wear it to the grave

Some may be from showing up
Others are from growing up
Sometimes I was so messed up and didn't have a clue
I ain't winning no one over
I wear it just for you
I've got your name written here
In a rose tattoo

In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I've got your name written here,
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I've got your name written here
In a rose tattoo

This one means the most to me
It stays here for eternity
A ship that always stays the course
An anchor for my every choice
A rose that shines down from above
I signed and sealed these words in blood
I heard them once, sung in a song
It played again and we sang along

You'll always be here with me
Even if you're gone
You'll always have my love
Our memory will live on

Some may be from showing up
Others are from growing up
Sometimes I was so messed up and didn't have a clue
I ain't winning no one over
I wear it just for you
I've got your name written here

In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I've got your name written here,
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
With pride I'll wear it to the grave for you
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I've got your name written here,
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
Signed and sealed in blood I would die for you

 

...Il mio nemico non ha divisa
Ama le armi ma non le usa
Nella fondina tiene le carte visa
E quando uccide non chiede scusa
Il mio nemico non ha nome
Non ha nemmeno religione
E il potere non lo logora
Il potere non lo logora
Il mio nemico mi somiglia
È come me
Lui ama la famiglia
E per questo piglia più di ciò che da
E non sbaglierà
Ma se sbaglia un altro pagherà
E il potere non lo logora
Il potere non lo logora...

 

Σαν αυτούς αγαπώ το ξανθό καλοκαίρι
τα ξεκάθαρα λόγια σαν τα άνυδρα μέρη
το χειμώνα φοβάμαι, τους βοριάδες του Μάρτη
μα αντέχουν τα ζόρια της καρδιάς μου οι κάκτοι

Στους φίλους

Γίνεται αργά. Σας βλέπω, αληθινά
ίδιους μ' εμένα στο βίτσιο του πάθους,
με τα παλτό, τα χαρτιά, τα φώτα
των σάλιων, τα μαλλιά ήδη εύθραυστα,
με τις λέξεις και τα κλεισίματα των ματιών, διεγερμένους
κι αποθαρρυμένους, καταβεβλημένους και συντετριμμένους, βραχνιασμένους
απ' την ακατάπαυστη συζήτηση.
Σαν κατεβαίνετε αυτή την γκρίζα κοιλάδα,
όπως το κατάχλωμο χορτάρι σπρώχνει
εκεί που ο δρόμος χάνεται πια και το φως.
Τις φωνές ακούω μακρινές, σαν τις κλωστές
πέρα απ' τα βουνά ανάμεσα στις πέτρες και τα καλώδια...
Κάθε λέξη που με φτάνει, είναι αντίο.
Και χαλαρώνω το βήμα κι εσάς ακολουθώ στην καρδιά,
έναν εδώ, έναν εκεί, στην κατάβαση.
