Lyrics Wildsilences

Tu ne m'aideras pas, je ne veux être nulle part, mais voici ton rêve. Toi et moi, perdus dans les rêves, perdus dans les rêves, perdus dans les rêves. Je ne veux pas être ailleurs, tomber dans le noir, tomber dans les arbres, perdu dans mes rêves. Tu étais là, tombant dans le noir, dans des rêves d'avant.

You won't help me, I don't want to be anywhere, but here is your dream.
You and me, lost in dreams, lost in dreams, lost in dreams.
I don't want to be anywhere else, falling to the dark, falling to trees, where lost in dreams.
Here was you, falling to the dark, into dreams before.

street cat by Nova J

[Verse 1]
What’s your life like?
Flirting with your green eyes
Captivating me
Seducing me
I’m your slave 
This feral mind of mine
How it wanders, how it churns
These wild thoughts keep swirling
How they simmer, how they burn

[Chorus]
What it must be like…
To be a street cat…
To wander…
To roam…
To be free…

Ooh ooh

[Vers 2]
I fear for you
I don’t want your life to be hard
You take a drink and I feel chosen
But only for a moment before you run away 
You belong to no one
You are possessed by no one
You are sworn to no one 

[Chorus]
What it must be like…
To be a street cat…
To wander…
To roam…
To be free…

Ooh ooh

[Bridge]
The sun is finally shining
After two long weeks of rain
I even caught myself smiling
Like the old me again
But the storm always returns
And the wind always blows
My restless mind
These thoughts never slow

[Chorus]
What it must be like…
To be a street cat…
To wander…
To roam…
To be free…

Ooh ooh 

[Outro]
I try to sit quiet
I try to sit calm
Typhoons and tempests
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)

AL PREGUNTAR POR MI MAMÁ

Acostado en su cama
no aparta la mirada
del “señor” que está en la cruz.
¿Quién es él? Solo sabe
que se llevó a su madre
y que se llama Jesús.

Su expresión, que es muy dura,
le roba la dulzura
a su carita infantil
que, a pesar de sus años,
el odio ha dibujado
con un semblante muy hostil.

Señor, al preguntar por mi mamá,
me han dicho que usted se la ha llevado:
que ahora estará en el cielo a su lado
pero que nunca a casa volverá.

Mi mamá era su amiga
pues siempre me decía
que tenía que rezar
y antes de acostarme
y también al levantarme
le tenía que besar.

Pero si ahora no vuelve
yo no sé cómo quiere
que le vuelva a rezar
pues no sé cómo hacerlo
¿no ve que soy muy pequeño
y me tienen que ayudar?

Señor, yo creo que puede aceptar
el trato formal que ahora le propongo:
deje volver a mamá, que estoy solo,
y yo le quito los clavos y se va.

Esperó una respuesta
que nunca le fue hecha
y rendido se  durmió
después que unas lágrimas
regaran sus mejillas 
por la enorme decepción.

When asking about my mom

Lying in his bed
does not look away
of the "lord" who is on the cross.
Who is he? Just know
who took his mother
and who is called Jesus.

His expression, which is very harsh,
steals the sweetness
to his childish face
that, despite his years,
hatred has drawn
with a very hostile demeanor.

Lord, when asking about my mom,
I have been told that you have taken it:
that will now be in heaven by your side
but that he will never return home.

My mom was her friend
well she always told me
I had to pray
and before going to bed
and also when I get up
I had to kiss her.

But if she doesn't come back now
I don't know how you want
pray to her again
well I don't know how to do it
Don't you see that I'm very small
and they have to help me?

Lord I think you can accept
the formal treatment that I now propose:
let mom go back, I'm alone,
and I remove the nails and he goes.

He waited for an answer
that was never made
and surrendered he fell asleep
after a few tears
they water their cheeks
for the huge disappointment.
