Utopia 2014

Dear friends,

this was an exciting year full of turnabouts into unexpected directions sometimes, but allways with a magic effect. Finally the whole thing became a real "Utopia" and I can promise, that there will be more in 2014. Vana Verouti and I will prepare more songs soon and we will watch a video with Vana Verouti, performing Utopia soon. We will also have a greek version of that song. But you might also expect new, surprising concerts. Two of them are known so far. On september 27th, I will perform for the first time in Berlin at the famous "UfaFabrik" and on november 1st, I will return to the "Zeiss Planetarium" in the city of Jena. More concerts are in preparation. Dates will follow soon.

What else can I say now but wishing you a merry christmas and a really happy new year 2014.
I will end for this year now with a little gift for you. If you like, please follow the original lyrics of Utopia in english and greek language. Thank you to "Vana Verouti" for the translation.

May ithe song help you to find your personal Utopia.

All the best

Bernd Kistenmacher

Utopia

We need a new Utopia

We need a new Utopia

We need a new Utopia

We need…

Empty soul, sadness in your eyes

You cannot change your fate

Broken heart, no colors in your mind

Why is there so much hate?

Future’s stolen by corruption and by greed

Who told you, what you really had to need?

What would you do to change your life?

What would you give to finally succeed?

You need a new Utopia

A land of peace and light

You need a new Utopia

Where the sun shines always bright You need a new Utopia

A place where you can dance

You need a new Utopia

YOU WILL CALL IT SECOND CHANCE

Empty world, pollution came not fast

We had time to do the change

But we loved our win, profit was our friend

Money made all of the rules

we made nature part of this damned system

so we thought until the answer came

The lifeless earth tells another story now

we should have changed, before it was too late

We need a new Utopia

A land of piece and light

We need a new Utopia

Where the sun shines always bright

We need a new Utopia

A place where we can dance

We need a new Utopia

A place where we can breathe

Everything you say, everything you do

Endless fight, endless sorrow

You believe there is no hope and also no tomorrow

But this is a lie ‘cause you have the power

To strike against inequity, strike against the hate,

Strike against the ignorance, strike against your fate

Bring down all those barricades that stop you to go

Utopia is in your heart. Just go though the door

We need a new Utopia

A land of piece and light

We need a new Utopia

Where the sun shines always bright

We need a new Utopia

A place where we can dance

We need a new Utopia

A place where we can breathe

We need a new Utopia

A land of piece and light

We need a new Utopia

Where the sun shines always bright

We need a new Utopia

A place where we can dance

We need a new Utopia

A place where we can breathe

A place where we can breathe …

Your time has come. Waste no more time

Take a deep breath now my friend

The key to save all life is lying in your hand

Utopia will become reality…

We need a new Utopia

We need a new Utopia

We need a new Utopia

We need…

                                 Ουτοπία

Μοναξιά, τα μάτια σου αδειανά

Ν’ αλλάξεις τύχη δεν μπορείς

Ερημιά στους δρόμους της καρδιάς

Πως και κανείς δεν αγαπά?

Σου κλέβουνε το αύριο και το τώρα

Οι φωνές που διάλεξες εσύ

Τι θα άλλαζες αν το μπορούσες

Τι θα θυσίαζες εσύ?

Αν ψάχνεις ουτοπία

Ν’ αλλάξουν όλα αυτά

Τον έρωτα μη θάβεις

Στην πόρτα σου μπροστά

Αν ψάχνεις ουτοπία

Με μάτια ανοιχτά,

Αυτής τους ουτοπίας εσύ βαστάς κλειδιά

Σκίζανε τα σώθηκα της γης

Όταν εμείς κοιτούσαμε αλλού

Το χρήμα κάναμε καλό μας φίλο

Το κέρδος νόμο και αρχή

Της φύσης στύψαμε κάθε σταγόνα

Σαν σκλάβα της δικής μας εποχής

Αργοπεθαίνει στα δικά μας χέρια

Μα τα παιδιά μας τα σκέφτηκε κανείς?

Αν ψάχνεις ουτοπία  κλπ

Ότι και να πεις, ότι και αν σκεφτείς

Παράνοιά, ντροπή και θλίψη

Λες πως δεν υπάρχει φώς, μ’ αυτό είναι ψέμα,

Η δύναμή σου είναι σπαθί, στα δυο σου χέρια

Την πλάτη γύρνα στο θυμό, στην απληστία,

Τον γόρδιο κόψε τον δεσμό της αδικίας,

Την ουτοπία της καρδιάς κάνε δική σου μοίρα,

Αν ψάχνεις ουτοπία κτλ

Είναι καημός η αδράνεια και γκρεμός,

Μη χάνεις τώρα ούτε λεπτό

Καν’ την αυλή σου χώρο ειρηνικό

Την ουτοπία τόπο αληθινό
