BELONG (My daughter, one day, in the future)
You belong to me, like a flower to its plant
you belong to me like water to the sea
one day I'll come and I'll get you, wherever you are
one day we will sleep together in the shade of an old oak tree
I will stroke your hair while you tell me about
your last swim at the river and the dives from the big blunt stone
you're cold, I see it, do not worry, I'm here with you again
we laugh together staring into each other's eyes
everyone hears us from afar
one day I'll come and I'll get you
wherever you are
one day we will sleep together in the shade of an old oak tree
wherever I am

REVOLUTIONARY BUSINESS
Why, that day in April, while the rebellion
still seemed strong and wide, you fixed your gaze on me
i was your shady business
Who first whispered you my name?
You, really are my kidnapper?
Disdain is more than hate
I walked through the mountain, to cross the border on mountain paths
touching orchards of blossoming apple trees
did you think that I could have been useful
for your ruthless plots?
your falsely revolutionary business
you really are my kidnapper - Disdain is more than hate
he who is inspired by evil brings death with him, yeah
Nobody's land, opaque, violent damn land

ALONE. (Me or You or both)
Do you think it’s the right way?
You’re working so hard
Every morning dressing well styling your hair
And you face people wearing jacket and tie
If you want to win the game you need to ensure
That someone loses
Wait honey
Ohhh it's Friday
Leave all your roles
Feel free to breathe as you once did
You will take on extra shifts to pay for a cruise
Even though you’re smiling you can't stand them anymore
All alone alone alone you
Feel alone alone alone here
All alone alone alone you
Feel alone alone alone here
Wait honey
Ohhh it's Friday
Forget all your roles
Feel free to breathe as you once did

I DON'T WANNA KNOW YOUR NAME. (her first love)
I don’t wanna know your name
i don’t wanna be like you
i don’t see the sea over there
i don’t know if you can dream
I don’t wanna know your game
I don’t wanna breathe like you
I don’t see the field over there
I don’t know how you play
And now, take my hand
Because I am burning inside
I'm scared of what's going on between us
I took off once before and now I don't know what to do
Please, hold my hand
Stay with me
Love scares me
Don’t let me down
And now, take my hand
Because I am burning inside
I'm scared of what's going on between us
I took off once before and now I don't know what to do

AWAY
Go away
cross the line, find your hidden essence
she said
“Catch your breath and join me…
I will show you a way to another place...”
Go away
all you need to know is inside you
she said
“you can take the bird and find out who you really are”
AWAY, AWAY, AWAY, AWAY, AWAY, AWAY…
Go away
you could be a new man
I don't know
if you are strong enough, be brave!
AWAY, AWAY, AWAY, AWAY, AWAY, AWAY…

KITE AND GUNS
Then and now it seemed as though every single child
carried a toy gun
The boys ran and ducked for cover taking aim
And shooting at each other
In most other places around the world toy guns are only different gifts
Hands holding soil and Stones, leaving marks on the walls
There are no Dolls, books, or building blocks, Just guns, war, kites and guns
The love they should receive Is buried under Miles of war
Boy, you will grow up without the hope of a better world,
Resigned to the life that someone have drawn
There are no Dolls, books, or building blocks, Just guns, kites and guns,
The love they should receive Is buried under miles of war

DEPENDING ON THE SEASON (my grandfather)
He was sitting there, near the window like he did every day
it was a position that allowed him to watch the cars arriving along the way
So the evening came down, and he moved satisfied to the table of food
He hated the bowl of soup and never forgot to see
where was the bottle of red wine
He loved to do long walks with his hands gathered behind his back
When the sun began to descend or when it warmed the bones
Every step was made of pure life, in May or July, depending on the season
He danced and sang with joy, remembering good times,
dressing a Beautiful white shirt
when the night came back he went to sleep
I hope he had a good long dream
I hope he had a good last dream
He loved to do long walks with his hands gathered behind his back
When the sun began to descend or when it warmed the bones
Every step was made of pure life, in May or July, depending on the season

MY SUN (my daughter)
Today is a special day, you are opening a new door
You will remember the dress, the dress you're wearing now
The colours around you, the smell in the air,
The faces in the room, you are unconscious and thrilled
... and you are my sun
I am ready to be upside down , and look at your eyes
I hope it won't rain , my thoughts go out to you
I take a look at my past, and I live again the time
When my hands were trying to paint the world
And everyone who loves you is there with you
Like angels on your shoulder, they protect you
The colours around you, the smell in the air
The faces in the room, you are unconscious and thrilled
... and you.. you are my sun!
I am ready to be upside down, and look at your eyes
I hope it wont rain, my thoughts go out to you
I take a look at my past, and I live again the time
When my hands was trying to paint the world

FREE UNTIL THE END (Life)
Life taught me no matter how good you are
Sooner or later you will cheat me
I will have to just see if forgiveness is the right way
I would not have to wait, I just want to know it
I would not have to wait, I just want to know it
Life has taught me that it would be good to have a living will
It is essential to be able to choose to be free until the end
All the history of human life has been a struggle between
Wisdom, foolishness, honesty and deceit
You think that one of us would go to join the ancient man?
What would you do in case of unbearable hell?
Wear the cloak the fire is too hot
Wear your suit until the end of the match
Life has taught me, no matter how greedy you are
Sooner or later you will help me
I'll just have to see if it will last long enough
I would not have to wait
I would not have to wait

WHAT'S LEFT OF THE SUMMER (My father)
I'm your father but
I don’t have time for you now
I have to go out
With friends and watch the game on tv
You ask me to bring you to the playground, you like the swing
But I'm tired, maybe next time
I'm your husband
If you get sick I have no time to waste
I have to think about
Someone who feels better than you
I have to find
Someone who makes me feel better
Why do you blame me when I
Just try to be a good man?
Why do you blame me when I
I'm not a bad guy
I am alone now
My son, my wife, i have lost everything
I feel so good now, I can do everything I want
I just have to find somebody to hang out with for
What's left of the summer
