WIRJA TAUFAN

I'm Dead And Life Back

I don't like to hug the palace

Not walking on your red carpet

All the  way to the holes without life

You won't find my footprints

Will not be able to drag my death

I die and come back to life

Without the shadow of your lies

Democracy is wrapped in thousands of scents

Tekateki, weapons, intoxicating kisses

In labyrinths and colorless holograms, my children

Lost fireflies

Chanting the rights of his ancestors, over the house lost land and cities

Burn in your hand

I die and come back to life

Leave my destiny in vowels and consonants

Signals that bulge without substances

Destroys your veins

Without prayer, without flowers and a thousand kisses

Walking Together

I admire flowers and trees

Seeing dreams floating from the stalk

and the shoots

Light up on thousands of tears

Let's walk together. Leave the inscription

without footprints. Give a smile from the pain

Pieces of the day, with empty hours

Creeping into a trembling wound

Up to a horizontal line in the sun

We revive the hands

where there is no light. So you can feel hugs and kisses

In the rain and dance of flowers and trees

Our children swim in the river of goodness

Without thorns without the slightest pain

We live, walk together. Make a dream

back to shine. Raise brotherhood

without hatred and revenge

Lovingly reached the sun and hugged him

Continue

I keep going

Even though people keep erasing my footprints

Keep on walking. Up to any planet and galaxy

Dream with you

Touching the morning sun in your eyes

I light a fire in my chest

Burn loneliness and smile of death

The trees light up

Light words in each room without lights

Continue to burn

Shaping a sea of color in your eyes

I keep going

Feel your warm hug

Sharpen the sky at each end of your gaze

Bringing morning every evening and your evenings

Shadow of swimming fish is also present there

Walking With You

Today I want to walk

with you. Crossing rivers, forests,

a cave in the middle of the city

Howling like a wolf

I have to keep going

With love and respect

to you. Make a boat in your dreams

sailing in a burning soul

River, forest, a cave in the middle of the city

Paint your smile and gaze

Light up spaces, doors and windows

We hold hands. The tighter

bring love with courage

Under the sky and the sun

The words are now burning. Between darkness

and shadow drops of many colors

Our love is transformed into a fireball

Replace the sun and moon

In The Death Of Every Heartbeat

I hid from their applause

Hug my tears

Without a milestone, the land is calling for me

Look for my beach, old and blue harbor

I kiss your every step. Every time

Sounds, words, like flower petals

Beat my death

I said, I will not die

History will scream my wounds in your city

No alphabet, no names of heroes

In death every heartbeat
