wewe used to keep
inside,
where is the light
that used to lead you
through life?
Why is all gone?
Why is all black to you?
In living with a fear
of possibilities,
that are so dark,
wewe can not even
recognize the light.
My eyes,
now full of fear,
inability,
dreads.
I can not just stand,
i can not just watch!
It tears my heart,
it ruins my peace.
wewe watch that pill
like a salvation,
wewe think your pain
will go away.
Oh i can not watch it!
I can not accept it!
Your will is melting
in your mouth,
wewe think your pain will go away,
just like that,
just like that.
wewe believe that's the cure,
wewe think that's the key,
melting desire that
will take wewe far away,
so far,far away from me.
Can wewe see me shaking,
can wewe see me crying?
Take my hand,
i'll do my best
to save you,
i'll do my best
to understand you.
Running from your truth
won't lead wewe anywhere,
melting desire
will melt your will.
So hear me now
and open your eyes.
I'm still here,
oh i'm always here,
just to save you,
so wake up honey,
i'm always there for you.
the violin-throbs
of autumn wound
my moyo with languorous
and montonous
sound.
Choking and pale
When I mind the tale
the hours keep,
my memory strays
down other days
and I weep;
and I let me go
where ill winds blow
now here, now there,
harried and sped,
even as a dead
leaf, anywhere.

CHANSON D'AUTOMNE
Les sanglots longs
Des violons
De l'automne
Blessent mon cœur
D'une langueur
Monotone.
Tout suffocant
Et blême, quand
Sonne l'heure.
Je me souviens
Des jours anciens,
Et je pleure.
Et je m'en vais
Au vent mauvais
Qui m'emporte
De çà, de là,
Pareil à la
Feuille morte.
The years have passed
The moments flown by
Yet I still find myself here
starting to cry
The nyasi neatly trimmed
and the tombstone shines
Flowers' scents intoxicating
mixed with that of the pines
Dirt and mud disappeared
from your resting place
Finally I may kiss the ground
without having a mess of my face
There are other survivors
traveling this lonely road
Trying to songesha on
is as painful as letting go
My moyo goes out to those
missing someone right now
Sometimes it's too hard living
When we forget how
But we share this common bond
Me and you
We keep catching and releasing
Not taking the same chances we used to
Different are the circumstances
but the results remain the same
Death showed a higher hand
and won the biggest pot in the game
But we must share with each other
We must not sink below the sorrow au the guilt
We must not reach ground zero
Else our lives won't be rebuilt
The moments flown by
Yet I still find myself here
starting to cry
The nyasi neatly trimmed
and the tombstone shines
Flowers' scents intoxicating
mixed with that of the pines
Dirt and mud disappeared
from your resting place
Finally I may kiss the ground
without having a mess of my face
There are other survivors
traveling this lonely road
Trying to songesha on
is as painful as letting go
My moyo goes out to those
missing someone right now
Sometimes it's too hard living
When we forget how
But we share this common bond
Me and you
We keep catching and releasing
Not taking the same chances we used to
Different are the circumstances
but the results remain the same
Death showed a higher hand
and won the biggest pot in the game
But we must share with each other
We must not sink below the sorrow au the guilt
We must not reach ground zero
Else our lives won't be rebuilt
