Gypsy Woman

She is not more passionate than other women,
nor does she bring luck just because she is a Gypsy,
she is the counterpart to mystery, an unexplored zone,
conquers the heart, even though yesterday she was a stranger.

Her seductive gaze hides sadness within,
even though, to you, the smile is her trademark,
you can cheer her up thanks to a flower as well,
and that will be enough for you to be a hero to her.

And the centuries within her shadow are densely woven,
the shackles of customs and other people's prejudices follow her,
she will fight, even though her dreams lie stranded,
not caring about those who judge her with their gaze.

Because her heart is wild and loves freedom,
she can fool you with love into thinking she belongs to you,
even though you never dreamed of such an outcome,
you belong to her and that fact does not fade.

And she was not just any Gypsy — she was mine,
or maybe I was only fooling myself at the time,
yet I was hers — I surrendered without a battle,
and I still am, our story is now my burden.

A Secret Love

You're a well-known beauty
everyone wants you,
but no one knows
that you are mine.

We meet in secret
so that no one catches on
that your mother will
call mine her son-in-law’s mother.

Our dear parents
do not yet know
that I will call you
my beloved wife.

Our love is a secret,
the greatest in the village,
they’ll find out when they see
the white wedding dress.

Don’t Take It!

Don’t take it — not from yourself, nor from the world,
no matter how low you ever fall,
don't let the kid you once were
be ashamed of you if he stood before you!

Life is not the dream you dreamed as a child,
it will trample you and spit right in your face,
if it pushes you in the wrong direction,
there is no right one — all stations are missed!

It's your life and you must bare your teeth at it,
don’t just coast through it in neutral,
take responsibility, earn respect,
no one has ever, nor will ever, bow to an amateur!

If you fall to your knees, don't lose heart,
raise your head and direct your gaze toward the stars,
become the master of your life, whatever it may be,
don't just stand by while life is passing by!
