Ishkode! Ishkode! Songtext
von Jonathan Richman

Bonfire
Before anyone notices
At the party
They′ve opened up
Bonfire
Without anyone noticing
They started talking
Sorrows they couldn't name
Sorrows they couldn′t name
Ishkode, ishkode
Oh my bijan
Ishkode, ishkode
Ganawa bandan
Ishkode, ishkode
Oh my bijan
Ishkode, ishkode
Ganawa bandan
Bonfire, bonfire
There are sorrows in me
That I find hard to bring


Out to the surface
In a day to day conversation
But bonfire
Around a bonfire like yourself
Just staring
I can't take my eyes off it
I can't take my eyes off it
I just keep staring
And sorrows come out
I start talking about sorrows
That I can′t name
Ishkode, ishkode
Oh my bijan
Ishkode, ishkode
Ganawa bandan
Ishkode, bonfire, fire
Oh my bijan, come
Ishkode, ishkode
Ganawa bandan
Come look at it
We′ll start
Ishkode, bonfire
In front of you I start to talk
In ways I wouldn't usually talk
Wouldn′t usually talk
Wouldn't usually talk
