One day if you don’t mind
I’ll take you underground
Where the freaks dance around
Under the vaults of a forgotten cave

There’ll be crazy bands
Acting extremely strangely
There might be monster gangs
Who knows what arises when you’re open to change?

And we’ll be sliding in the dark
With magnifying glasses
It all seems to be so stark
But we love seedy places

And this black will be as bright
As the rays of the sunlight
And the colours of their smiles
Will paint our lips in mauve
And I’ll stop holding back
Those words I love you

A flood of words will gush up
We’ll speak and speak endlessly
We’ll fill our eyes with passion
Under the vaults of the forgotten cave

Lifted up by the moment
Overwhelmed with emotions
Our hearts will skip a few beats
Who knows what arises when you’re open to change?

I know your heart is different
You don’t resemble what you are
So one day if you don’t mind
I’d like to take you underground

Where the black will be as bright
As the rays of the sunlight
And the colours of the smiles
Will paint our lips in mauve
And I’ll stop holding

Those words I love you

The legend of the marvellous
Journeys and heroic deeds
The many adventures
Of Prince Bova

The mighty Bogatyr
Begins with the tale of his insidious mother

Militrisa Kirtiervna
Plotted the death
Of her husband
Tsar Guidon
So she could marry her secret lover Tsar Dadon

But when Dadon threw
Bova into a dungeon
Militrisa’s maternal heart
Was deeply touched

The mighty Bogatyr
And so she helped Bova to escape

His two great powers:
Unparalleled strength
And unearthly beauty
Enabled him
To defeat the forces of evil and find his true love:
Druzhevna Zenzeveyvna

He then married her
And he too became a Tsar
They had a son
Whom they also called Bova

The mighty Bogatyr
Ends with the tale of his handsome boy

Bova the elder
When his son grew up
Returned home
Craving for revenge
He beheaded Dadon and his son was crowned Tsar in his place

You wake up
Wrapped in your dreams
You start to stretch like a cat

The sun shines
It’s Sunday morning
And I feel free as a bird

And I love you
The grain of your skin
Spreads sparkles in me

We’re lazy
We share a few kisses
Embrace tenderly

We’ll leave the world behind and keep leaning in the sun
Is time really passing by or are we kind of eternal?

In the air
Flavours of fresh bread
And delicious coffee

The bell rung
Eleven times
It could have been billions more
(and)
Outside
Children are playing
We hear them laughing

I know
You enjoy it
Though you’ve never really loved me

Whatever we are and whatever we feel
There are precious moments we should never throw away

In the beauty of this morning, we’ll just pretend to be one
We’ll try to find a name for the kids we’ll never have
Whatever we are and whatever we feel
There are precious moments we should never throw away

Nathanael
Grows a new skin
Alters his pigments
One/We can change…

Forget it all
Feel everything
Be a filter
By yourself

And I will travel in
The fruits and the flavours
I will taste tangerines
I’ll put my tongue in yours

I will try everything
I’ll learn it all myself
I’ll keep on digging in
I’ll swallow all the earth

Hey baby, I don’t think that you understand
You’re turning, you’re turning,

You are turning around me but I’ve got a man

Well do you need a written notice as a fact?
Are you rea, are you rea,
Are you really stupid or do you just pretend?

I’m already taken and I say
Let us be friends, let us be friends again

Don’t you see that you ain’t deceiving nobody
Your uncea, your uncea
Your unceasing simpering ways get on my nerves

Don’t put on such airs showing so much soppiness
Please relax, have a wank,

And then come back to me when you get over it

You’re nice and cute oh little boy
Let us be friends, let us be friends again

Let us be friends, don’t try to charm me
Let us be friends, don’t put the blame on me
Let us be friends, please keep it cool baby
Let us be friends, just find another lover!

Ye shang hai, bu ye cheng.
