227 - Vertigo
شايد علتش بازتاب صحبت هاي اخير رئيس جمهور
درمورد وبلاگ من در مجامع بين المللي است
كه اين روزها حال و روز كانتر وبلاگم
شباهت عجيبي با بورس تهران پيدا كرده است
Maybe It is the reactions of International Communities
Against the recent speech of Our President's about my weblog
That has lead the number of my daily visits to
fall like Tehran's Stock Exchange

226 - Think About The Little 15's
چه تفاهمي بالاتر از اينكه
من و تو هر كدوم يكديگر رو قبول نداريم؟
What can be more valuable than this thing that we've got in common
which is: Each One Of us dont believe the other

225 - To Read And not To Hold
اين ها چه جماعتي اند ديگر؟
2 + 2 هايشان هميشه 4 است و
كوركورانه آنها را براي من و تو مي نويسند
و تازه توقع دارند كه ازشان خوشمان هم بيايد!
وقتي به نظر مي رسد هيچ گونه خلاقيتي در ذهن صلب شان ديده نمي شود
اين جماعت كيف دستي به دست و پالتو پوش
What Kind Of Social School Are They?
Their 2 + 2 always Equals 4 and
They Imitate Blindly and Write it for Me And you
!and surprisingly They Expect us to honor them too
When it seems that They've got no Creation and Invention in their Rigid Minds
The people With Portfolio, Wearing Macintosh

224 - You Know, You Are Right
شايد مغازه ها را براي من ساخته اند
تا وقتي توي ماشين بحث هاي احمقانه ات را پيش مي كشي
هدفون هايم را توي گوشم فرو كنم
و از پشت پنجرهء بخار گرفته ام تماشاشون كنم
May Shops Have been built For Me
to Put my earphones on
and Watch them through the Fume Wiped Car's window
when you complain about worthless subjects while you're driving

223 - Nocturne
به زيبارويان بايد گل سرخ هديه كرد
و هنگامي كه مسخ رنگ سرخش شدند
آنها را با بوسه اي عاشقانه و مسموم كشت
و آنها را جايي در ته باغ گل سرخ دفن كرد
تا از خاك پيكر سپيد, زيبا و خوش تراششان
گل هاي رز وحشي بيشتر و اصيل تري پرورش و به آيندگان هديه داد
Beauties should Be Donated With Red Roses
And Kill them with an Amorous, squiffed Kiss
As soon as they got cursed to its Red Colour
And Bury Them Somewhere Down the Rose Garden
To use the Ash of those white, Nice beautiful bodies as Soil
For Floriculture to Donate More Pure Wild Roses to The Others

222 - A Killer in Me is A Killer In You
ياهو مسنجر هم مثل موبايل آزار دهنده شده است
وقتي افراد براي بيان روزمرگي هاي بي اهميت شخصي شان
طولاني ترين و وقت گيرترين راه را انتخاب مي كنند
پاكش مي كنم...
Messengers Have become as Bothering as Cell phones
When People Choose The Most Time taking Method
For Talking About their personal daily activities which is none of my business at all

221 - There's One thing that I'm hangin' on to
وقتي كسي را براي غر زدن ندارند
وقتي كسي را براي علاقه يا نفرت ورزيدن ندارند
«تو» يي خيالي مي سازند و برايش حرف در مي آورند
وقتي راهي براي گذران روزمرگي ندارند
وقتي چيزي براي ارائه كردن ندارند
When They've got noone to nag at
When They've got noone to love or hate
They Produce this Fantasy "You" and Talk over it
When they've got no way to spend the same old routines
When They've Got Nothing special to give

220 - I'm gonna Split this room in half
پرستارهاي ديوونه خونهء جديدم
به من لباس سفيدي پوشانده اند
كه دستم را نمي توانم در آن حركت دهم
فكر مي كنند من «ديويد كاپرفيلد» ام!
The Nurses Of My New Bedlam
Have put me on a white suit
which has stucked my hands in
They think I'm David Cuperfield!
cuperfield? I was meaning that 80's magician, thats all!

219 - Times Like This
زندگي گاهي همينه ديگه:
آخرش مزهء هديه اي كه براي تولدت خريدم بايد بره!
با پول شهريه اي كه آخر هفته بايد ازت بگيرم...
64 يا 46 فرقي نمي كنه, هميشه انسان بزرگي بوده اي
Life's Just Like this Sometimes:
They've Got To Piss Us Off of the Birthday Gift I Bought For You anyhow they can
Even By University tuition that I should Ask you for at the end of the week
Who Cares 64 or 46? , You're Always The Great

دنياي متناقض من و تو

جاذبهء بينمون خيلي وقته از دست رفته

214 - I Got A Right
همه چيز تمام شد...
6 تا ماشين پليس اطراف من رو گرفته
و چراغ گردونشون تمام فضا را آبي و قرمز كرده
من رو روي در ماشين فشار مي دهند و از پشت به دستانم
دست بند مي زنند... مامان هم ماشين جون جونيشو پس ميگيره
و من در همان خلوت هميشگي محبوس مي شوم
من رانندگي را نه در بازي هاي
Need For Speed
بلكه فقط در واقعيت دوست داشته ام
...It's All Over Now
There Are 6 Car Cops Surrounding My Car
And The Atmosphere Is All Red And Blue
They Push Me To A Police Car And Handcuff My hands
Mommy Takes Her Goody Goody Nice Car and
And I'll Be Confined In My Own Solitude
I Have Never Liked Driving In
The "Need For Speed" Games
I Have Always Liked It In Reality

212 - Thank God! My Old Feelings Are Not Dead
هنوز هم زل زدن به چشمان
دختر دههء هشتادي سخته.
حتي نمي توني نگاهت رو به پايين بلغزوني
فكر اينكه خيال كنه به چاك سينه اش خيره اي سخت تره.
و بالاخره برداشتن روتختي اي كه جعبهء كوچك و چرمي هديه اش
هنوز روي اون جا خوش كرده سخت ترينه.
«كرت كوبين» مرده پس
در خلوت شبي كه بي رحمانه سرده به موزيك همسرش تجاوز مي كنم.
Its Still Hard To Stare At
The 80's Girls Eyes
You Cant Roll Your Look a lil bit down, On her Chest.
The thought That She Might Consider that You're Staring At Her Breasts Is Even Harder
And Finally the Hardest Part Is
Taking Away The Blanket which The Leather Gift Box She Left, has Still Laid On it.

امشب سانتا قراره بياد اينجا
مي خواهيم ببريمش بار
مستش كنيم, سر كارش بگذاريم

و جلوي دخترهاي توي بار كه با ترس بهش نگاه مي كنن
بخوره زمين, چت كنه
هر چيزي خورده روي ريشش بالا بياره
زير بغلشو بگيريم از بار ببريمش بيرون
سوغاتي هامون رو بگيريم و
بعدش بياندازيمش روي سورتمه اش
بزنيم پشت كون گوزنهاش و بره.... و بخنديم!
تا سال بعد!
Santa Is About To Come Here!
We want To take him To A Bar
And Get Him Drunk, Hoax Him and Playing Games On Him
Make Him feel Astonished So That
He'd Fall to The Ground In Front Of The Girls At The Bar
who Look Damn Scared
to get him Stoned!
and Vomit All He'd Ate at His White Beard
So we take his Oxter
and Take him out of the Bar
And Grab Our Gifts
And Put Him On His Sled
And Kick His Deer's Asses And let him go And Laugh...
Till Next Year!
