ii. Alone in Stockholm colore delle foglie sta cambiando sta cambiado dentro m' invade il cuore perche' cio fa male? per lasciarlo alle spalle Amiamo meno? Ricorda per favore mantieniti per sempre se lasci andare trovami nascosto al sicuro Piccole tasche cucile insieme per mantenerle fuori prima che si scontra come onde rivelando Perche amiamo? non so non ho mai detto addio perche son perso ii. Alone in Stockholm (English) The leaves are changing colors Changing inside Invading my heart Why does this hurt? To leave it behind Do we love less? Please remember Forever hold on If you let go Find me tucked away Safely Little pockets Piece them together Leaving the holes To keep them out Before it crashes kike wavesforgotten Why we love I know not I never said goodbye For I am lost

iv. Free Zion Kiss me one last time Before you walk away I’m alone thinking of you I will never ever leave you Hold me one more time Before you let go of my heart Ache Broken heavy times Will you return When I say hello Leave me once again Before you fly away Even though you still love me I may never ever see you Please come home I’m sorry Darlin’ won’t you come home to me Come back home to me Come back tomorrow I won’t let go this time Again Free Zion Like a lion Wide eyed Like your mother I stole you From this world Please forgive me

Te Extraño 03:51
v. Te Extrano Sigo pensando en ti Te extraño Soy tu hogar Amor (Pero) el tiempo se detuvo ¿Te volveré a ver? Amor ¿A dónde te fuiste? Parecemos muertos Si tocas mi puerta Te dejaré entrar Y esta vez No te voy a dejar ir No logro comprender No más familia Sólo arrepentimiento Si tocas mi puerta Te dejaré entrar Mi Amor Una herida de por vida Nuevos sentimientos Y de respirar No las puedo reemplazar Los viejos olores me recuerdan a ti ¿Piensas en mí? v. Te Extrano (translation) I still think about you I miss you I am your home Love (But) time has stopped Will I ever see you again? Love Where have you gone? It's like we died If you ever knock on my door I will let you in And the next time I will never let you go I can not comprehend No more family Regrets I will keep If you ever knock on my door I will let you in My love A scar for a lifetime New feelings New breath Never replaced Old smells remind me of you Do you think about me

Kosovo 04:51
vi. Kosovo Nunc solum in Kosovo in timore Et futura vita transgressus ad terminus in bus in Serbia perambulas affectus aliqua passione german aliena novum amicum coquens In humere meo et Perdidit ad curare ruina magna tristitia mihi sentit perdidit In timore lux splendida facit reflexione Nune solum in Kosovo a milliario a monte pluvia impediit ruina magna gratias agens pro salvifica me interfecit a domo praterita transierunt Et futura vita vi. Kosovo (translation) Alone in Kosovo With fear The future is life Crossing the border On a bus through Serbia Going through the motions With no emotion A new German friend Friendly but square Sleeps on my shoulder Too lost to care In awe of the horizon Glares etch a reflection Now alone in Kosovo A mile up a mountain Rain in the way My depression Feels lost In a world of ruin She thanks me for saving A family destroyed The past is gone But the future is life
