My Way To Peace

As of lately, I’ve been wondering un-doubly
And as of late, I’ve doubted if I’m wandering
With the right west wind dear friend

I’ve been shaken lately but I haven’t given way
Out on a burning bridge 
Garden-rakes and snowflakes stained as missing faces

But out on this burning bridge
I’ve been thinking back to my days as a kid
I hope you get found soon

Now hail is frozen rain fallen
But snow is tears a person can hold
And I’ve been doing it all wrong

Up on a common cloud
Get your things together
Back to that house out on the edge of town

I’m quite thankful for this day
Accepting the unknown as treasures
And the obvious as gifts 

I’m beginning to notice
I’m quite thankful for you 
It’s written amongst my lips

This is my way to peace
And if the train doesn’t stop
Take the journey to your feet 

Follow your way to peace
Blow Gabriel
Send us on home

Premium Member I Will Guide the Way For You

I set a side my golden fleece.
I set a side my golden sword.
You look to me.I say to you.
'I think it's time, I guide you through'.
'I'll guide you through, this world you see'.
I'll guide you through, this world with me'.
'I'll guide you through eternity'.
'I'll guide you through, this world with me'.
Because! As your long lost lover.
I will guide the way for you..

As a fair minded man.I searched for you.
As a fair minded maiden.You came to me.
After lead through a life of treachery.
As a fair minded maiden.You came to me.
You look to me.I say to you.
'I think it's time, I guide you through'.
'I'll guide you through, this world you see'.
I'll guide you through, this world with me'.
'I'll guide you through eternity'.
I'll guide you through, this world with me'.
Because! As your long lost lover.
I will guide the way for you..

Now it's time to set you free.
From a life of treachery.
One kiss from me, and you will see.
Your love! Was only meant for me..
Because! As your long lost lover.
I will guide the way for you..

Because! As your long lost lover.
I will guide the way for you..

Dimash Song Lyric Translations

These are my English translations of songs sung by Dimash Kudaibergen.

This is my translation of one of my favorite Dimash Kudaibergen songs, the French song "S.O.S." ...

S.O.S.
by Michel Berger
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

Why do I live, why do I die?
Why do I laugh, why do I cry?

Voicing the S.O.S.
of an earthling in distress ...

I have never felt at home on the ground.

I'd rather be a bird;
this skin feels weird.

I'd like to see the world turned upside down.

It ever was more beautiful
seen from up above,
seen from up above.

I've always confused life with cartoons,
wishing to transform.

I feel something that draws me,
that draws me,
that draws me
UP!

In the great lotto of the universe
I didn't draw the right numbers.
I feel unwell in my own skin,
I don't want to be a machine
eating, working, sleeping.

Why do I live, why do I die?
Why do I laugh, why do I cry?

I feel I'm catching waves from another world.
I've never had both feet on the ground.
This skin feels weird.
I'd like to see the world turned upside down.
I'd rather be a bird.

Sleep, child, sleep ...



"Late Autumn" aka "Autumn Strong"
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
based on the version sung by Dimash Kudaibergen

Autumn ...

The feeling of late autumn ...

It feels like golden leaves falling
to those who are parting ...

A glass of wine
has stirred
so many emotions swirling in my mind ...

Such sad farewells ...

With the season's falling leaves,
so many sad farewells.

To see you so dispirited pains me more than I can say.

Holding your hands so tightly to my heart ...

... Remembering ...

I implore you to remember our unspoken vows ...

I dare bear this bitterness,
but not to see you broken-hearted!

All contentment vanishes like leaves in an autumn wind.

Meeting or parting, that's not up to me.
We can blame the wind for our destiny.

I do not fear my own despair
but your sorrow haunts me.

No one will know of our desolation.

Shadow In the Night --- Song Lyric

I thought the way to win
Was to lie and take them in
Show them all a plastic face
Then disappear without a trace

Just a phantom, passing through,
The ones I touched, they never knew,
How I yearned to meet their eyes
Took so long to realize…

I’ve played too many games
Forgot the faces and their names
Saw love die and fall apart
Tried to hide my aching heart…

Like a river
that never found the sea, 
like a drifter 
who's never broken free.
Too long I wandered, 
a shadow in the night;
I need you to see me 
as my shadow reaches,
reaches for the light. 

I know how it feels to fall
Where you can’t find a friend to call
All I built was built on sand,
God, I need a helping hand

Instrumental

It took years, day after day,
To break through and find my way
Took a step but wasn’t sure
Turned around and there you were.

Till the day you believed in me
I didn’t know what love could be
Now I’ve got so much to give
Fin’lly learned I don’t have to live…

Chorus

Kokane Blues

Jackie's calling
no room to stay
statues falling
she'll soon decay
cocaine harlots
no room to pray
craving's raw
she's a hell of a crutch
the machine is hungry
in these midnight hours
Jackie's calling 
no room to stay
statues falling
or so they say

Katrina's rage
she'll knock you
from your cage
and back to these 
streets of rage

Gina's girl
she prayed today
tomorrow's rage 
it end's tonight
burning bridges
there'll be hell to pay
sun is lurching
it want's to come in
Gina's girl
she prayed today
to jesus christ
he washed his hands
statues falling
there'll be hell to pay

Katrina's rage
she'll knock you
from your cage
and back to these 
streets of rage

Katrina's rage
she's calling you
at Gina's cage
no where to run to 
no where to hide

I Need To Listen --- Song Lyric

*** Another response to the shooting in Colorado... as I try to make some kind of sense of it. Which is futile... I know... but I still have to try. ***

There's darkness all around me.
I need to find a way to gain some balance...
in this insane world...
I need to listen to some Blues.

I'm so tired of all the tragedies.
If I don't get away they're going to overwhelm me.
I feel my spirit yearning to be free...
what I need is Reggae music.

Some people have known pain
beyond my comprehension
but have found a way to live
that hate cannot destroy.
I need to hear the voices
of those who've known oppression
but who still stand up
to express their living joy.

In Boulder Colorado
a madman with a gun
for some crazy reason
left 10 people dead or bleeding.
Voices of real people
speaking plain and clear
that's what I want now...
that's what I am needing.

Some people have known pain
beyond my comprehension
but have found a way to live
that hate cannot destroy.
I need to hear the voices
of those who've known oppression
but who still stand up
to express their living joy.

There's darkness all around me.
I need to find a way to gain some balance...
in this insane world...
I need to listen to some Blues.

Premium Member Pray For Me---

pray for ME---


Maybe I’m a sinner
Pray for me
Maybe I am saved
Pray for me
Maybe I’m a winner
Stay with me
Keep me in your memory
As I breathe
Do you yet believe?
That we are free, yes free

Maybe I’m a criminal
Pray for me
Maybe I don’t deserve love
Pray for me
Maybe I’m an abomination
Maybe I don’t deserve living
In a mansion that lies on streets of gold
I was told

I was told maybe I’m a sinner
I was told Pray for me
I was told maybe I am saved
I was told Pray for me
I was told maybe I’m a winner
Stay with me, I was told
Keep me in your memory, I was told
As I breathe
Do you yet believe?
That I am, I shall be free, yes I’m free
Still yet won’t you please?
Pray for ME

Indestructible, For Johnny Cash

Indestructible, for Johnny Cash
by Michael R. Burch

What is a mountain, but stone?
Or a spire, but a trinket of steel?
Johnny Cash is gone,
black from his hair to his bootheels.

Can a man out-endure mountains’ stone
if his songs lift us closer to heaven?
Can the steel in his voice vibrate on
till his words are our manna and leaven?

Then sing, all you mountains of stone,
with the rasp of his voice, and the gravel.
Let the twang of thumbed steel lead us home
through these weary dark ways all men travel.

For what is a mountain, but stone?
Or a spire, but a trinket of steel?
Johnny Cash lives on—
black from his hair to his bootheels.

Lost Love

I engrave your name
upon my heart,
but you amputated it,
it was in our plan
to love no matter what,
but I guess I wasnt it,
you had change of plans,
you up and left again,
and went home to your ex girlfriend,
you left my heart soar,
it cut me hard and deep,
when you walked out the door,
its like I loss apart of me,
boy you oughta feel sorry,
I do regret for loving you,
and this the thanks I get from you,
I wont lash out like a hurricane,
In time I will try to forget you,
you said, no woman nor man
cant come between us two,
but that wasnt true
"so why you fallen out of love"

It Ain't TV
Ain't TV.
Ain't TV, like it used to be..
We gotta rock.
We gotta roll.
We gotta sing, for the young and old.
We gotta jump.
We gotta shout.
We gotta sing, and dance about.
'Cause it ain't TV.
Ain't TV.
It Ain't TV, like it used to be.

No Peter Pan.
No Superman.
No song and dance, for the Spiderman.

It ain't TV.

We gotta rock.
We gotta roll.
We gotta sing, for the young and old.
We gotta jump.
We gotta shout.

'Cause it ain't TV.
Ain't TV.
It ain't TV, like it used to be.
