Όταν μιλούν οι στίχοι

Then I looked into her young eyes
From eighty years she looks back
Into my young eyes
And she is gone
To where?
Where has her soul gone?
Body found yes
But her very mark her sign
Lost it seems to me now
Though I feel that she is here still
All around me windsouled
To love is always to live somehow
As long as our eyes are still this colourdull glass
I will not know her still
This parched scorched earth
Endless wheel of suffering
Great ocean of pain
Bloodbucket of grief
Roaring mouthgaped O
Of disappointment and despair
Will not then exist
And we shall smile
We shall smile as big
As the big crescent moon
Which lies on its arched back and dreams
Of cats and stars and snow
And as before we saw smiley shining stars
And disreaching them
Our arms would wave like a desperate windmill
Hoping hoping to welcome them home
Now we shall touch them close to our hearts
And what we are
And what we may be
Maybe
Why I have failed
And all I could have been
And am not
And all I had hoped for
And were not
And everything I hoped
And hoped and hoped and hoped for
I prayed in the morning
And I prayed in the evening
And I got not
From the rotgut god
When all the world starts to shiver
And shimmer and shake all around me
And all the worldlight was piecemeal
And peaceless
This is the atomic pain of the worlds
The molecular tears
The final crystalline structure of misery
That winds its way around the wooden snakejawed growing spine
Of the worlds
Listen: I was taken
To be betrayed whenever is hate
To be betrayed wherever is hate
As the body is abused by man
There in the Patrapassion edge of the world
The hanging god is invaded
In heart and soul
I suffer you all suffer
You suffer all I suffer
Suffer suffer suffer suffer
The tearblowing world creaks around
And we are broken (Loss!)
Loss
Light and darkness
Light and darkness
It seems to the little blue and green world
That they do not know each other
But they must finally
(The Master says that Satan too shall be forgiven)
Forgiven
And suffering before
We suffer too
Here's sixpence
Here's sixpence
Go and play and play
In the flaky pale fields that still are somehow this land
And spend oh spend your life away
Spend your spend your night away
And waste and waste your life away
Under the brightstarlight
Under your yewboned archlight body
you are dead
Under this shitstained sky
you are dead
Under the loveless muddy almoststars
You are dead
Under the sleeping closed eyes of the Bhagavan
You are dead
Under the road and the track and the path
Along the green grass slipping way
Along the snaking way
you are deady deady
Deady deady
Deady deady
Dead
Goodnight
The lights are dead and so are you
The light is dead and so are you

μουρλέ Tibet σε αγαπώ

 

Goodnight, Travel Well ( The Killers )



The unknown distance to the great beyond
Stares back at my grieving frame
To cast my shadow by the holy sun
My spirit moans with a sacred pain
And it's quiet now
The universe is standing still

There's nothing I can say
There's nothing we can do now
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing we can do now

And all that stands between the souls release ?
This temporary flesh and bone
We know that it's over now
I feel my faded mind begin to roam

Every time you fall
And every time you try
Every foolish dream
And every compromise
Every word you spoke
And everything you said
Everything you left me, rambles in my head

There's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do now
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do now

Up above the world so high

And everything you loved
And every time you try
Everybody's watching
Everybody cry

Stay, don't leave me
The stars can wait for your sign
Don't signal now

And there's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do now
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing we can do now

Goodnight, travel well
Goodnight, travel well

And there's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do now

 

Rare is this love, keep it covered
I need you to run to me, run to me, lover
Run 'til you feel your lungs bleeding

Oh but the pharaoh knows
Her hungry eye, her ancient soul
It's carried by the sneer in the night rule[?]

Know what it is to grow
Beneath her sky, a punishing cold
To sow the light of her ancient misery

To be twisted by something
A shame without a sin
Like how she twisted the bug man
After she married him

Rare is this love, keep it covered
I need you to run to me, run to me, lover
Run 'til you feel your lungs bleeding

But in all the world
There is one lover worthy of her
With as many souls claimed as she

But for all he's worth
He still shatters always on her earth
The cause of every tear she'd ever weep

Rushing ashore to meet her
Foaming with loneliness
White ends to follow and meet her
Give her his loneliness

Rare is this love, keep it covered
I need you to run to me, run to me, lover
Run 'til you feel your lungs bleeding

Rare is this love, keep it covered
I need you to run to me, run to me, lover
Run 'til you feel your lungs bleeding

Rare is this love, keep it covered
I need you to run to me, run to me, lover
Run 'til you feel your lungs bleeding

 

"Pretty When You Cry"

All the pretty stars shine for you, my love.
Am I that girl that you dream of?
All those little times you said that I'm your girl.
You make me feel like your whole world.

I'll wait for you, babe,
It's all I do, babe,
Don't come through, babe,
You never do.

Because I'm pretty when I cry.
I'm pretty when I cry.
I'm pretty when I cry.
I'm pretty when I cry.

All those special times I spent with you, my love,
They don't mean shit compared to all your drugs.
But I don't really mind I've got much more than that.
Like my memories, I don't need that.

I'll wait for you, babe,
You don't come through, babe,
You never do, babe,
That's just what you do.

Because I'm pretty when I cry.
I'm pretty when I cry.
I'm pretty when I cry.
I'm pretty when I cry.

Don't say you need me when
You leave and you leave again.
I'm stronger than all my men,
Except for you.

Don't say you need me here,
You leave us, you're leaving,
I can't do it, I can't do it,
But you do it well.

'Cause I'm pretty when I cry.
I'm pretty when I cry.
Pretty when I cry.
I'm pretty when I cry.

Pretty when I cry.
I'm pretty when I cry.
I'm pretty when I cry.
I'm pretty when I cry.

 

Και όταν τα χρόνια θα περάσουνε
Γρήγορα όπως περνάει μια στιγμή
Και όταν πια οι μορφές μας πια γεράσουνε
Δεν θέλω να ψάχνω τότε το πώς και το γιατί

Και όταν τα πράγματα αλλάξουνε
Όπως δεν περίμενες ποτέ
Και όσα μπροστά μου θα περάσουν
Κάποτε και αυτά θα ανήκουν στο χτες

Και αν είναι να χαθώ
Ας χαθώ πάλι μες στο όνειρο
Σε ότι αξίζει να μένει ζωντανό
Σε ότι αντέξει στο καιρό
Σε ότι αγάπησα σε ότι ξέχασα
Σε ότι νοστάλγησα μα το έχασα
Σε ότι θυμήθηκα μα δεν γέλασα
Σε όσα σε εμένα χρέωσα

Πόσα την ζωή μας την σημάδεψαν
Όπως την γη οι εποχές
Και σαν τα πλοία μες στη θάλασσα
Πολλές οι τρικυμίες και λίγες οι στεριές

Και όσο θα γράφω στοίχους τα χαράματα
Τόσο θα απαλύνουν τις πληγές
Και όσο παλεύουν οι λέξεις με τα πράγματα
Τόσο θα ψάχνω νόημα στου ονείρου τις σχισμές

Και αν είναι να χαθώ
Ας χαθώ πάλι μες στο όνειρο
Σε ότι αξίζει να μένει ζωντανό
Σε ότι αντέξει στο καιρό
Σε ότι αγάπησα σε ότι ξέχασα
Σε ότι νοστάλγησα μα το έχασα
Σε ότι θυμήθηκα μα δεν γέλασα
Σε όσα εμένα χρέωσα

Λεωφορείο η ζωή θα ήταν ένας ωραίος τίτλος
Στο έργο που όλοι παίζουμε ανεξαρτήτως
Εκεί που η αλήθεια και ο μύθος έχουν την τάση να μπερδεύονται
Εκεί που οι ψυχές των ανθρώπων με τον καιρό σμιλεύονται
Γνωρίζονται συγκρούονται σπρώχνονται για μια θέση
Πόσο αυτή η μάχη ακόμα θα διαρκέσει
Ίσως για πάντα ίσως μέχρι τη επόμενη στάση
Εκεί που άλλοι θα κατέβουν και θα μπούνε σε άλλη φάση
Και άλλοι θα συνεχίσουν την διαδρομή
Μήπως βρούνε κάποιο γνωστό κάποιο νέο να τους πει
Να τους θυμίσει τα παλιά ή απλώς να πούνε ένα γεια
Μοιάζει απόμακρο και χάνονται στο πουθενά

 

Γέρικος λύκος και τυφλός
Η μνήμη όταν πεινάσει
Με τρώει σαν άγριος πυρετός
Με πίνει όταν διψάσει

Και δεν τολμάω να θυμηθώ
Χωρίς να χάσω αίμα
Χωρίς να μείνω ο μισός
Χωρίς ν’ αλλάξω δέρμα


Έρχεται πάνω στο κρασί
Ξέρει τα λάθη μου φαρσί
Ανίκητη γυναίκα

Ψάχνω να δικαιολογηθώ
Μία κουβέντα θα της πω
Θα μου γυρίσει δέκα

Δείχνει τα δόντια το θεριό
Αν με πετύχει μόνο
Και πριν στο στόμα του να μπω
Μ’ αφήνει και γλιτώνω.

 

This old death ( Ben Nichols )



Old death, where are you now?
You've left me behind somehow
Drank deeply from your cup
Now see what I've become

What's left but ash and burn?
No last pale light to follow
Along here, to find my way
I'll catch up with you One day

And this old death is crooked in the truth
I played your game but now I think I'm through
I know what you look like
And I'll see you before long

And this old death is crooked in the truth
I played your game but now I think I'm through
I know what you look like
And I'll see you before long

 

Thunder in the air,
Before a storm that rips,
Anger in my heart,
A finger on my lips,

You showed me that silence,
That haunts this troubled world,
You showed me that silence
Can speak louder than words

Words end in disaster
On the rocks, in pieces,
I know something lives on there,
But I can't say what it is,

You showed me that silence,
That haunts this troubled world,
You showed me that silence
Can speak louder than words.

 

 
"One More"
(feat. MO)

[Verse 1 - Elliphant:]
Come on na sugar, come
I really don't wanna go home
Stay with me, be a friend
These streets so cold and my money full of ghost
Come up na we take your car
I own sleazy bar
Now far downtown you can tackle slow free
And it's open all night, come on hang with me
I got money [x4]
(I play for you, I play for you)
(I play for you, you play for me)

[Chorus - Elliphant & MØ:]
Stay with me tonight
We can count the street lights
Stay with me alright
Let's bring it all back to life
Don't fade away
Stay

[Verse 2 - Elliphant & MØ:]
I like it here, fuck work
Plus you said your boss is a jerk
I need you tight, don't bang on me
Imma break your shit, let's do what we
Always used to do
Stupid around like two fools
Nights alone, I'm feel alone
You look after me, it hurts
I got money [x4]
(I play for you, I play for you)
(I play for you, you play for me)
(Won't you play for me, oh)

[Chorus - Elliphant & MØ:]
Stay with me tonight
We can count the street lights
Stay with me alright
Let's bring it all back to life
Don't fade away
Stay

[Bridge - Elliphant & MØ:]
One more
Come on
It's not a big deal
One more (one more, girl)
On me (come on)
Let we go on
It's not a big deal (it's not a big deal)
One more (one more)
On me (come on)
It's not a big deal (it's not a big deal)
One more (one more)
On me (on me)
Let we go on (et we go on)
It's not a big deal (it's not a big deal)

[Chorus - Elliphant & MØ:]
Stay with me tonight
We can count the street lights
Don't fade away
Stay with me alright
Let's bring it all back to life
Don't fade away
Stay

 

Για το χαμόγελό σου τραγουδώ
γιατί μου δείχνει πως το κλάμα έχεις γνωρίσει
και για το βάδισμά σου το γλυκό
που μόνο όποιος σκόνταψε μπορεί να εκτιμήσει

αυτό το χάδι που 'ναι τόσο τρυφερό
είναι από χέρια που σκληρά έχουν παλέψει
κι αυτά τα χείλη που με αγάπη με φιλούν
δεν τ' άκουσα ποτέ πικρή να πούνε λέξη

Για το χαμόγελό σου τραγουδώ
που όσο κι αν πόνεσες δεν το εγκαταλείπεις
που με κουράγιο με γεμίζει αν το δω
και χάνονται με μιας τα σύννεφα της λύπης

Είμαι στ' αλήθεια τυχερός που σ' έχω εδώ
όταν τα πράγματα ζορίζουνε τριγύρω
και ξέρω αν τύχει και ποτέ εξαντληθώ
θα 'σαι στο πλάι μου επάνω σου να γύρω
