Who, or what, do you think you are?
  A Bollywood star
    A Turkish bazaar
      An iron crowbar
        A permanent scar

The Keystone Cops were funny,
Chaplain, Keaton, Lloyd, and Fields too.
Laurel and Hardy, and Will Rodgers,
Were just some of the names we knew.


Who can forget the Stooges, 
Or all the pies we saw them throw?
Who didn't laugh at the Brothers Marx,
Or Abbot and Costello?


Berle, Caesar, Skelton,...

Der Wald ist ruhiger geworden,
auch in dem Tal ist Stille eingekehrt.
Die Bäume hüllen sich in Schweigen und warten auf das
erste, leise Weiß.
Vereinzelt ziehen Elstern ihre Kreise 
und ein paar Krähen rufen durch die Zweige, 
ihr nimmermüdes Krächzen in den Tag.
Auch über Feldern und den Wiesen,...

Tu yaar, tu hi dildaar, tu hi mera pyar
You're my friend, my beloved, my love
Tera meray dil main hai darbaar	
Your court is there in my heart
Karde ek baar beda paar	For once, make me happy
Mujhe ghar baar lage bekaar
I find home and everything else useless
Phiroon main...

Test Pattern

Such memories
Lost long ago
In an innocent time
Before computers
Before cell phone
And video games
Kids stayed awake 
Hours after going to bed
Hiding under our blankets
Waiting for our parents to go to bed
When we snuck own stairs
Turned on our old B&W TV
Watching until Jack Paar finished
Until the Star-Spangled...

Zweige wie Filigran
verzaubern jetzt den Tag durch weiße Schleier.
Am Boden verlieren Blätter langsam ihre Farbenpracht
und nur allmählich legt sich Morgenlicht über den Rest der Nacht.

Im nahen Park jagt sich ein Rabenpaar
im Streit um ein paar Nüsse.
Jetzt ist die Zeit der Jagd.
Und übers Tal vom Wald...

Kuch surkhiyon si aati hui, ret ko sametiye,
Kaali ghata hai chaah rahi, roshni ko sametiye.
Sametiye, sahejiye, woh pal jo kho rahe abhi,
Jo tera ho na saka, uski yaadon ko sametiye.

Kuch ankahi si baat hai, kuch ankahi si raat hai,
Kuch gun guni si dhoop hai, kuch...

"Prisoner of Shadows"

Bhot sannata hai iss kamre main 
Khamoshi chubh si rhi hai 
Khidkiyon se guzarti hawa
Andhere se , uub si rahi hai

Aur ab main uss duniya main hun
Jahan sirf andhera hai
Jaha na accha hai na bura 
Sirf tanhaiyon ne ghera hai

Yahan paani main chlne...
