ای کاش میتوانستم
بارونو قطع کنم
بالا پرواز کنم
آفتابو ببوسم

کاش نمیترسیدم
ازتنهایی و غم
از فراموش کردن
و از بدون تو بودن

ای کاش میتوانستم
خودمو ببخشم
از خواب هی نپرم
کابوس نبینم

ای کاش میتوانستم
تو راه روزگارم
یه جاده ابریشم
واسه خودم بسازم

جای من و تو خالیه
جای عشق من و تو خالیه

ای کاش میدونستی
چقدر تو فکرم ای
این عشق آتشی
کبریتهاشو سوزوندی

کاش نمیترسیدی
از عمق و نزدیکی
تصمیم و عاشقی
چرا هی فرار میکنی؟

جای من و تو خالیه
جای عشق من و تو خالیه

ای کاش میتوانستم
بارونو قطع کنم
بالا پرواز کنم
آفتابو ببوسم

امید رویایی
با دوستی و دوری
من میخواهم بدونی
هنوز عزیز دلمی

If Only

If only I could stop
the rain from every drop
If I could fly up high
and kiss the sunny sky

and if I wouldn't fear
loneliness and tears
forgetting and
being without you

If only I could
forgive myself
wake up from my sleep
without nightmares

If only I could
make a silk road
for myself
on the thread of life

We are missing
Our love is missing

And if only you knew
how much I think of you
why did you spill all the matches
of this burning love

If only you weren't afraid
of depth or nearness
of decisions and being in love
why do you keep running from me?

We are missing
Our love is missing

If only I could stop
the rain from every drop
If I could fly up high
and kiss the sunny sky

With dreamy hope
far or nearby
I want you to know
that you are still the one

If Only کاش

I love the way that you open your eyes
it’s the end of the dark, you’ve come like a surprise
My hand on your chest, your heartbeat a slow mystery

I love the way that you open your mind
your view on this world, you’re a sparkling delight
you’re walking around, your thoughts on a slow melody

you sing
laay laay lala lala la laay laay

You woke up the sun, you woke up the light
please take me along to your paradise
I’m holding you tight, you’re singing your own lullaby

you go
laay laay lala lala la laay laay

Lullaby  لالایی

Open my eyes if they are closed
Tell me am I real, or just a ghost?
Could you wake me up, make a new start
and pull the stake out of my heart?

I have no fear of the unknown
I have no memories of my own
I'm hiding my demons in a safe
I'm trying to ride the big wave

I will row on

O my dear sea, you are my friend
Could you please tell me, will this end?
Will you wash away, will you devour?
Will you be there in my last hour?

I will row on

until I reach the shore
I won’t come back no more
I’ll find a final cure
a new world to explore


I will not wake
I will not sleep
I will not laugh
I will not weep

I will not burn
I will not freeze
I will not choke
I will not breathe

I will not scream
I will not shout
I won’t let it in
won’t let it out

I will not float
I won't go down
I will not swim
I will not drown

I will row on

until I reach the shore
It won't be like before
your eyes, i can’t ignore
the purest of the pure

music & lyrics: wijbrand luth | c 2015

The White Sea  دریای سفید

We're a grain of sand
swallowed by a teardrop
a boundless no man’s land
a blizzard in a teacup

Visions of our childhood
tales of nails and dogwood
Innocence and barbed wire
Tricked ourselves and played with fire

Oh, our hands are tied
Burns we try to hide
Stains on our mind
there’s no rewind

We’re a wayward wren
crashing on a tree-top

What might come tomorrow 
No regrets or sorrow
Close your eyes and fly blind
from the days we’ve left behind

Everything we’ve tried
just a glimpse of light
I’m glad to find
there’s no rewind

When the seasons end
I hope we will meet again

Lyrics & Music: Wijbrand Luth | © 2016

Stains لکه

You.
You are breaking the waves for me
And you, you are bending the time for me
so I can go and walk through walls

You.
You make silences audible
and I don't know if that's good for me
but it keeps me in a funny lucid dream

You.
You are stealing my soul from me
and I
can't just walk away from this
like nothing's going on and say goodbye

I, no I won't feel anything
But why are you so here in me
are you so here in me?


تو
موجها را واسم می شکونی
تو زمان را خم می کنی
که من بروم رد شوم از دیوار 

تو
با تو سکوت را می شنوم
من
نمی دانم خوب است واسم
ولی منو نگه می دارد تو یک خواب شفاف

تو
دل منو می دزدی
و من نمی توانم از این فرار کنم و خدا حافظی کنم ازت
انگار هيچى نشده

من
هیچی حس نمی کنم
ولی چرا
چرا همش درون من ای؟


music & lyrics: wijbrand luth | copyright 2012

Lucid  شفاف

If my hands still fit in yours
If my eyes could still see yours
If my head would not be heavy now
If my feet would touch the ground

This ain't forever gone
And you stay forever young
Can you show me how
I hope you're happy now

I don't know where I'm going to
with all I've ever learned from you
I could warm my hands and face
If Iceland wouldn't be a place

This ain't forever gone
And you stay forever young
Can you show me how
I hope you're happy now

Iceland  ایسلند

زمرد

امشب شبی است که طنین ستاره ها شنیدنی ست
تو، از حالتی در آمدی که الان نمی دانی خواب ای یا بیداری
از تخت خواب که بلند می شوی همه چی حس سبکی می دهد
یه دریاچه لخت جلوی چشمهات دراز کشیده
لرزان خوابیده در انتظار دست تو
نیلوفرها که باز شدند در دل هر کدامش سکه است
در دل هر کدامش انعکاس آسمان جواب می دهد
امشب شبی است که همه چی توسط نور عوض خواهد شد
و تو تنها کسی هستی که می داند
که این پایان ندارد و پایان نخواهد داشت


Emerald

Tonight the resonance of the stars is audible
You have come out of a mood and you don't know whether you are awake or asleep
when you get up from your bed everything feels very light
A lake is stretched out naked before your eyes
it lays trembling, awaiting your hand to touch it
there's a coin in the heart of every lotus flower
when it opens
in the heart of every flower the reflection of the sky appears
Tonight everything will change through light
and you are the only one who knows
that is has no ending
it will never end

music & lyrics: wijbrand luth | copyright 2013

Emerald  زمرد

ابرها جمع شدند بالا سرم
بارون می ریزه توی قهوه ام
هی ببار
ای بارون
تا مزه تلخو نفهمم

دریای فکرام چه تاریک است
صدف وا شد مروارید کجاست؟
کاش نه تو
نه هیچکس
اشک نبینه تو چش من

بارون می ریزه تو لیوانم
هی ببار
ای بارون
تا مزه تلخو نفهمم


A cloud follows everywhere I go
A rain makes my coffee overflow
Come pour down
Run through me
Dilute my cup of bitterness

A sea rolls it’s darkness through my mind
A shell opens but it has no pearl inside
My wish is
that no one
could see the tears in my eyes

A cloud follows everywhere I go
Please rain down
Honeydrops
Sweeten my cup of loneliness
