The Guns of Marygold (2005)

HARA-KIRI SHOW

Traduzione

Business men drive fast blue cars
avoiding luckily all the traffic jams
heathen gods are trampling on the tramps
same jester rubbish along the sidewalks

There was a time I could recognise leaves from the smell
why can’t this feeling come and reap me again

Housewife answer silly calls at the phone
trying to reach positions in supermarket queues
fooling close friends pointing at special offers
ancient movies seen many time before

There was a time I could discover every inch of your skin
why can’t this feeling come and reap me again

Day by day, they steal my running time
hold me full responsible for their obvious blame
as the light goes slowly down
they laugh and drink at my health ...... my health

Holy guards kill each other while
captain sole at the telly sat his last idiocy
after all young Dalì was right
we’re rotten flesh inside
the crab

In his sitting room mister Bodo San prepares
his hara-kiri show, fells like a kamikaze
and avery still is a one hundred meter dive, against the career
I’ll keep on fighting the traditional way
reloading my machine gun in the night time
and ’till now I don’t understand
if there could be an easier way
to feel free

Shabby butterflies in the morning hide
disturbing love traces with mascara’s fraud
drinking wine we feel real men at night
silly bears at dawn, one against the one

CROWS ON THE TREE

Traduzione

Today I can’t feel how many crows stand on me
I like them singing, my favourite soundtrack in moments of fall
I have been leaving streets behind
for hundred years since I have lost every hope to move
out of town into another ground hole
far from this place so crowd and cold.

Flex me right, flex me left
renounce wind the claim to uproot my belief
the more I fold myself, the more I’m getting strong
inside the pride of a life lived upright.
oh, I feel to scream, I see a woman crying for love
she wants to cut a male name across my bark
why don’t you spray a house wall and please let me alone
I can’t speak but I am alive too.

Wrapped by the wood dust
men from the sewer approaching me
wind plays like instruments sharp steel blades
as I realise there aren’t oaks, nor elms, nor shrubs
nothing but stupid grass all around ................. the end!

Cut me gently, cut me fast
don’t let all these children be witness of my death
many times my roots sustained the weight of their parent’s flesh
many times my twigs were the place where to play

Sink your saw
cut off all my nerves
so that mr. Jones should find out another silent friend
perhaps his newspaper’s news will take now a bitter look
no more observatory to envy other's joy

Now I’m dressed like a bride, I’m the pride in the dining room
snow white clothes cover me
candles cry as for my fate
hot wax tears on my grains
after all it could be much worse
I knew a pine now some toothpicks

Hear the scream from your furniture,
flat parquets, entrance doors, guitar necks

... wish you all a sunstroke....

Today I can’t feel how many crows stand on me

MARYGOLD

Traduzione

Mother
Long ago, long before our birth
rose a reign built deep under the water
good the king, poor but resolute
rejoiced the males that he was even a monk
one answer he tries still to find out
to the why of the war
he fight now with beings of the surface
accused to pollute his world

The king
“Wake up my friends, the human injustice has come here
pick up your will, and let us go to the re-conquest
of the land we love, the land of our freedom
in which we still believe”

All the guns of marygold - resumed to fire
all the seas turned blood
but after some times the well trained human army
began to get too strong to be defeated
so the water kingdom
got ready with proud for the worst

So spoke wisely and gravely the giant skate
twice admitted at the royal gate
she knew very well humanity
all the customs of the enemy
having been aquarium prisons guest

The giant skate
“Load all the pumps, shot high the infected water
over the fields, so that contagion could destroy them
hiding in the greens
our vegetal revenge by their food chain”

All the pumps of marygold - resumed to fire
all the farms ploughed blood
and after years of illness and pestilence
the war was won wiped out life on the surface
survived not even beetles
a new age began for planet earth

Child
Tell me again mother
about the tale of the secret deep water’s life

Mother
Plunge into the sea five yards
you will not find dreams land
till your small lungs
hold air

Long ago, long before our birth
rose a reign built deep under the water

SUNFLOWERS

Traduzione

The lazy mad house maids are watching me
through my peep hole, they all seem so strange
white chains, white beds white walls
white my thoughts they dare say
but I feel some force in the sun

When it shines my mind passes through these walls
flows on amstel channels grazing by boats
and I can still see the wheat blonde girls riding black bikes
bruine cafe’s signs waving on the road

I can recall

Sharp petrol lamps smell spreading over the docks
clandestine couples sharing secret loves
it’s hard to say hello, you know
she prays to let her go

I don’t need a real escape
I don’t need a real escape
I don’t need a real escape
I don’t need a real escape
I don’t need a real escape , I’ll paint sunflowers on your chains
sunflowers on your beds
sunflowers on your walls
sunflowers on dreamy souls

Sun spreads in every cell, radiate through corridors
pierces through attendants’ ammonia smelling smocks
melting blocks.

Is there something I should regret
let the sunlight still glow
now look at the mad man
unknown worlds beyond stupid words

While tall girls give up chastity
love embrace on the lawns
is it worst my insanity
then your life spent behind my door

So fool to be wise
so wise to be fool

TANIA STANDS...

Traduzione

Tania stands, time is passing by
while the wind is scratching like a cat her slender hands

And she thinks which smile to wear
and she hopes next stranger
will be the one, who let her fly away

Another western dream
we’re fooling each other
another broken dream
that will vanish with the dawn

All is blasted, left behind
now is just hers

The gagarin’s photo on the kiosk, yellow faster
tired iron rocket ships have lost their flight path

To love you is just a dream
we’re killing each other
another broken dream
will vanish with the dawn

As the guards will march on yester tracks
flags trumpet a bit higher
Aged casanovas round the pray
suggest you: “come on, stand”

THE WIZARD

Traduzione

What I am is a slow and a very slight enchanting wizard waiting
for the new age suggestions quite watching the skyline,
sit in front of a mystic scarlet sunshine
which eskimos my eyes like a chemical wisdom laser
I guess i breath with perfect lungs............... Gloomy fresh air.

Through the solitary thoughts of my mind I feel like a leaf,
too early fallen on the old aged ground of love
then a white shy eagle lands light on my arm
telling me: “the abyss is inside you now”

Do you think that I’m only dreaming
or am I just going slowly mad

I see mountains upside down in a red-green lake’s water
like the pictured dark shadows of some ancient dead knights
and I try as soon as possible to get inside
and to ride alone shouting loud those black backed horses

If I don’t hold on I will be food for the ground worms, friends of mine
I’m going to be shipwretched together with my ruined soul
but when I take control of the reins the evil horse does not unsaddle me,
nothing else will evict me out of the shelter of my will

In this storm blend, I must recognise well the right trail to follow on
and just for once in my life I’ll not loose time thinking bad
just for once in my life I’ll be sure of my choice
as the white ibex on the never seen higher mount
has no doubts hurrying up to hide from the eagle of clouds

Now that all has finished, the receiving lounge is full
I would be glad of joining this beauty day
as it was at time’s end and as it may be no longer
I still be waiting
standing under the stars
