AFGHAN RAPSODY (Dari language below)
Hey what a heavy phase
Everything is black and white, nothing is colored
Again, me and a lifeless body
Re-painted plaster wall
Wow, I criticized him for not laughing
With my eyes I locked this fire in the lighter
A dark room with the smell of cart smoke
How lucky you are with an empty pocket
Do not say we are the same color
I spent a lifetime laughing in the room
I'm dead, son of a bitch
I always hit the rock to the foot of the road
If I make people lawful
Yeah Al that sounds pretty crap to me,
Looks like it ain‘t for me either
From myself From everyone from the court table
From thinking about tomorrows that are on my brain
Hey, don‘t you tell me not to worry,
in this crazy world everybody has a story,
Hey, don‘t you tell me not to worry,
all I get to hear is: I am so sorry, I a m so sorry,
Am I dead or alive? I do not know exactly
A fallen earth away from the world
I lived a life full of twists and turns
When I arrived, I pulled him out from under him
I'm so high that I can not say a word
I kill so much that I die and I do not feel sorry
I could not eat the meat I have eaten so far
I lost what we have won so far
See the law, you leave your opportunities behind
He tears your eyes when you have dreams
Let Dad take the world once
Before one or two goals are scored
Longing for my legs to be straight and standing
See what I have a story with my own conscience
This ritual is like a snake's trunk
Wrap around both hands and
Your life goes on...
ی
همه چی سفید سیاهه چیزی رنگی نی
بازم من و یه جسم لش و بی حال
دوباره رنگ پوسته شده گچ دیوار
وای انقد کشیدم که نمی گیره خندم
با چشمام قفلم به این آتیش رو فندک
یه اتاق تاریک با بوی دود گاری
چه بخت گندی داری تو با جیب خالی
نگو که هستیم رنگ مشابه
من یه عمره رو صورتم خنده اتاقه
من مُردم پسر یه عقدم که سر
تا پای مسیرو همیشه خوردم به سنگ
اگه که مردم حلال کنینم
آره تا حالا ساختم ولی الان بریدم
از خودم از همه از میز محکمه
از فکر به فرداها که روی مغزمه
من مُردم یا زندم ؟ دقیق نمی دونم
یه زمین خورده خاکی از دنیا به دورم
بیخی زندگی شدم که پر ِ پیچ و خمه
رسیدم تهش کشیدم بیرون کل زیر و بمش
اونقد بالا ام که نمی تونم حرفی بزنم
اونقد می کشم تا بمیرم و دل نمی کنم
گوشت نشد به تنم اون که تا حالا خوردم
باختم هموناییم که تا حالا بردم
ببین قانونشه فرصتاتو پشت سر می ذاری
اون وقتی که تو رویاهات داری چشماتو می مالی
ولش کن بابا بذار یه بارم دنیا ببره
قبل اینکه یکی دو سه تا گل اون بزنه
حسرت جفت پاهام واسه صاف واستادن
ببین چیه با وجدان خودم داستان دارم
این رسمه روزگاره مثل تنه ماره
می پیچه دور دو دست و
زندگیت ادامه داره

PARADISE
(text by Victoria Priester & Robert Soko)
I will lead u darling
Lead u from despair
Just take my hand and cling to me
Through desert sand
***
Seven days and a thousand miles
You and me, side by side
Laj laj laj
We wander through the trials
Walking through dust and fire
Reborn as bright Safire
Laj laj laj
Just don’t turn around
***
We have reached paradise
Do you feel mesmerized?
***
See my hair glowing
In the breeze flowing
Catch my eye and fly away with me
On a sail above the sea
***
Seven days and thousand miles
You and me, side by side
Laj laj laj
We’ll see the blue whales fly
Even in the storm and rain
We become stronger then pain
Laj laj laj
Just don’t turn around
****
We have reached paradise
Do you feel mesmerized?

Na severu ciča zima,
Za tu zimu leka ima,
A sa juga bije tuga,
Tuga sebi traži druga
Ej živote, gdje je ona sada, skim li je?
Oj, stoj živote stoj,
Stani malo, sipaj alkohol!

ولفي يا مسافر
Where? To Ramallah!
Where? To Ramallah!
Oh my love, are you going to Ramallah?
اب قلبي والله
ذاب قلبي والله
يوم الودعتك
ذاب قلبي والله
My heart melted
My heart melted
The day I said goodbye to you
My heart melted
ين يابو شامة
وين يابو شامة
ناوي ع السفر
وين يابو شامة
Where are you going, oh girl with the beauty spot
Where are you going, oh girl with the beauty spot
Are you planning to leave?
Where are you going, oh girl with the beauty spot
يا رب تعيدو
يا رب تعيدو
حبيب روحي بالسلامة تعيدو
Oh God, bring me back my love
Oh God, bring me back my love
The love of my soul, please bring her back
بالوشم ع ايدو
بالوشم ع ايدو
مكتوب اسمي
بالوشم ع ايدو ...
As a tattoo on her arm
As a tattoo on her arm
My name is written
As a tattoo on her arm
وين ع رام الله
وين ع رام الله
ولفي يا محلق
Where? To Ramallah!
Where? To Ramallah!
Oh my love, are you flying to Ramallah?
Where? To Ramallah!
ذاب قلبي والله
ذاب قلبي والله
يوم الودعتدك
ذاب قلبي والله
My heart melted
My heart melted
The day I said goodbye to you
My heart melted
قالوا قصيرة
قالوا قصيرة
قلت يا گظبة الخنجر

"PITBULL"
(text Nenad Janković aka Dr Nele Karajlić)
I’m willful and I’m skillful
I’m d d d delightful
And I find myself mixed
Between beauty and the beast
Kill them quick that's my motto
Than police take a photo
Than police take a photo
On a sunny side of street
The wolf I like the most
He refused to be a dog
He refused to be a creature
Just like Lassie was
Just show me a bloke
And in seconds I ‘ll choke
In second like tomato
Like tomato I’ll squeeze
I am Pit bull terrier
I am pit Bull Terrier
Black Cat - White Cat
I’m hit and I’m fit
And I never never quit
When I bleed I bleed
Like James Cagney on the screen
I shit and I spit
But I don’t care a bit
I am proud and I happy
´Cos I am not a human being
I am Pit Bull terrier
I am Pit Bull Terrier
Black Cat White Cat
I never feel sadness
I never feel pain
With my cunning and with my stealth
I don’t need a brain
I never feel sadness
I never feel pain
With my cunning and with my stealth
I don’t need a brain
I am Pit Bull Terrier
I am Pit Bull Terrier

"OUT TO LOUNGE BALKANBEATS REMIX"
(Lyrics by Arturo Gueglio & Cristian Anibal del Negro / Buenos Aires, Argentina 2017)
Si venimos a reparar los agujeros en la pared
que dejaron tus disparos, no te asustes
Si venimos a reparar los agujeros en la pared
que dejaron tus disparos, no te asustes
calculando el impacto
aspecto abstracto
de medición
del hecho al acto
un largo trecho
la bala cruza el pecho
camino estrecho
los arboles de techo
se instala,germina,genetica combina
los atomos componen la materia
elimina teoria alternativa
la ciencia herramienta
los pibes les fascina
patean colmenas
en casas ajenas
provocan escusas
con manos intrusas
es una conquista
falsos coleccionistas
sin nadie que resista
ganan los narcisistas
RATATATATA no te asustes!
Si venimos a reparar los agujeros en la pared
que dejaron tus disparos, no te asustes
Si venimos a reparar los agujeros en la pared
que dejaron tus disparos, no te asustes
Si venimos a reparar los agujeros en la pared
que dejaron tus disparos, no te asustes
bump bump tomahawk en tu cabeza no resiste
bump drones en el aire no son chiste
bump bump tomahawk en tu cabeza no resiste
bump drones en el aire no son chiste
saltan pulgas
al precipicio
cuando las tierras arden
no importa lo que tarden
los divididos
se ponen de acuerdo
dejando rencores para el recuerdo
Rompecabezas que les faltan piezas
las marcas las manos tropiezas tristezas
algunos rezan
otros seguimos buscando en le fondo del mar la pureza
RATATATATA no te asustes!
Si venimos a reparar los agujeros en la pared
que dejaron tus disparos, no te asustes

Lyrics:
Adieu ! je crois qu'en cette vie
Je ne te reverrai jamais.
Dieu passe, il t'appelle et m'oublie ;
En te perdant je sens que je t'aimais.
Pas de pleurs, pas de plainte vaine.
Je sais respecter l'avenir.
Vienne la voile qui t'emmène,
En souriant je la verrai partir.
Tu t'en vas pleine d'espérance,
Avec orgueil tu reviendras ;
Mais ceux qui vont souffrir de ton absence,
Tu ne les reconnaîtras pas.
Adieu ! tu vas faire un beau rêve
Et t'enivrer d'un plaisir dangereux ;
Sur ton chemin l'étoile qui se lève
Longtemps encor éblouira tes yeux.
Un jour tu sentiras peut-être
Le prix d'un coeur qui nous comprend,
Le bien qu'on trouve à le connaître,
Et ce qu'on souffre en le perdant.
CROATIAN:
Adio, adio sad moj brat
Oprosti mi na francuskom
Al Jebem ti rat
i krizu i silu i svu tu moćnu kliku
i veliku sliku, biznis i politiku
i bombe što su padale na moj grad
ubile život posijale jad
ubile nadu izbrisale sutra
morao sam na put tog jutra
po žegi i kiši bio dan il mrak
pješke kroz šumu pa skok na teretni vlak
prošao hiljadu milja i sad sam tu
nadomak cilja i pružam ti ruku
Pa čovječe nisam ja tamo neki tat
Ko da ću ne daj Bože krast il djecu klat
Pa nisam ja zvijer
Od zvjeri bježim da preživim
I samo tražim mir.

"TESLA"
(Lyrics by Robert Šoko, Yuriy Gurzhy⎜Berlin 2017)
He is a genius,
He is a mess,
He is the best,
He is a sinner,
He is a saint, he is possessed,
He is cursed and he is blessed,
He left his nest and headed to the west,
Talking to a pigeon became his own religion,
To understand this world he use the intuition,
Sometimes he talks to me about power transmission,
He don‘t believe in God, he is following his vision,
chorus:
My brain, my brain, my brain is a black hole,
Your heart, your heart, my magnetic pole,
New power and daemons, establishing control,
Cold hearts, rough love, they alternate my soul
Alternate my soul, Tesla

"SCHÖNE TAGE"
(Lyrics by Robert Šoko & Katya Tasheva ⎜Berlin 2016)
MALE VOCAL:
Das war einer dieser Tage,
fühlte sich an wie eine Plage,
aber du bist endlich weg,
und ich bin wieder "in der Lage",
Ich genieß´die schöne Tage,
Das war einer dieser Tage,
fühlte sich an wie eine Plage,
aber du bist endlich weg,
und ich bin wieder "in der Lage",
FEMALE VOCAL:
Ich liege in der Bauchlage,
in der neuen Wohnanlage,
Mit ´nem Sekt in der Hand,
und glaub´s mir wenn ich sage, die Gefühle sind noch vage,
Es ist noch ´ne Zeitfrage,
das mit der Unterhaltszusage,
wenn ich diese neue Seite aufschlage
dann - kommen - Schöne Tage!
MALE VOCAL:
Das war einer dieser Tage,
fühlte sich an wie eine Plage,
aber du bist endlich weg,
und ich bin wieder "in der Lage",
Ich genieß´die schöne tage,
das steht sicher außer Frage
denn du bist endlich weg,
und ich bin wieder "in der Lage",
SCHÖNE TAGE
Hör mal zu was ich sage,
es steht doch außer Frage,
aber nach jeder Ehescheidungsklage ,
kommen wieder Schöne Tage...

Ξένος εδώ, ξένος εκεί, όπου και αν πάγω ξένος
αν πάγω και στη μάνα μου, παραβαρώ ο καημένος
θα πάρω έναν ανήφορο, να βγω σε κορφοβούνι
αχ, να βρω κλαράκι φουντωτό και ριζιμιό λιθάρι
(να βρω και μια κρυόβρυση, στον ίσκιο της να κάτσω
αχ, να πω τα μαύρα ντέρτια μου και τα παράπονά μου,
τραγούδια αν έχει η μαύρη γης κι ο τάφος χαμογέλια
έχει και μένα η καρδιά, που βρίσκομαι στα ξένα).
English:
Alien(foreigner/stranger) here,
alien there,
wherever I go,I feel like an alien,
Even when I visit my own mother,
I feel like I impose upon her,
so I will climb a mountain to get to its peak,
oh, seeking for a little bushy branch and a rooted rock
(I wish i could find an icy watered fountain and rest under its shadow,oh, and confess my darkest pains, my sorrows and all the grievances
so if the black ground has its songs and the grave has its smiles,
so does my heart have the above, as long as I am in a foreign land)
