Izmail (Ukrainian: Ізмаї́л, translit. Izmayil; Russian and Bulgarian: Измаил, translit. Izmail; Romanian: Ismail or Smil; Turkish: İşmasıl or Hacidar; also referred to as Ismail; Polish: Izmaił) is a historic city on the Danube river in south-western Ukraine. The city is the administrative center of the Izmail Raion (district) in the Odessa Oblast (province) and the largest Ukrainian port on the Danube. As such, it is a center of the food processing industry and a popular regional tourist destination. It is also a base of the Ukrainian Navy and the Ukrainian Sea Guard units operating on the river. The World Wildlife Fund's Isles of Izmail Regional Landscape Park is located nearby.
The current estimated population is around 85,000, with ethnic Russians forming about 42.7% of that total, 38% being Ukrainians, 10% Bessarabian Bulgarians, and 4.3% Moldovans.
The fortress of Izmail was built by Genoese merchants in the 12th century. It belonged for a short period of time to Wallachia (14th century) - as the territory north of the Danube was one of the possessions of the Basarabs (later the land being named after them, Bessarabia). The town was first mentioned with the name Ismailiye, derived from the name of the Ottoman Grand Vizier Izmail, the adding of initial i being a feature of Ottoman Turkish.
Please,
spread them!
Fly to end all
the sadness in your eyes,
miles and miles away.
Step around the walls we've built to defend
abundance assail.
We're close to the end of
Ismael. Ismael.
Watch us now, forward not back.
Late, too late to change the track
for Ismael.
Breathe,
I'm sorry for the echoes.
Sorry, sorry.
Breathe, oh
sorry for the echoes,
and it gets us high,
and it gets us down again.
Please,
spread them,
fly a long time.
There's no tomorrow.
Fly away today,
miles and miles away,
million miles away,
away.
Breathe,
I'm sorry for the echoes.
Sorry, sorry.
Breathe, oh
sorry for the echoes,
and it gets us high,
and it gets us down again.
Spread them out - shout!
The eyes in your face
still seem to believe
in human race.
Oh Ismael,
don't you see
we're deaf and blind
in a way so absurd to believe
that we don't pay.
Oh Ismael. Ismael.
Breathe,
I'm sorry for the echoes.
Sorry, sorry.
Breathe (sorry, sorry), oh
sorry for the echoes,
and it gets us high,
and it gets us down again.
Breathe (it gets us down again),
I'm sorry for the echoes.
Sorry, sorry.
Breathe (it gets us down again), oh
sorry for the echoes,
and it gets us high,
Uma esmola pelo amor de Deus
Uma esmola, meu, por caridade
Uma esmola pro ceguinho, pro menino
Em toda esquina tem gente só pedindo
Uma esmola pro desempregado
Uma esmolinha pro preto pobre doente
Uma esmola pro que resta do Brasil
Pro mendigo, pro indigente
Ele que pede, eu que dou, ele só pede
O ano e mil novecentos e noventa e tal
Eu tô cansado de dar esmola
Qualquer lugar que eu passe é isso agora
Essa quota miserável da avareza
Se o país não for pra cada um
Pode estar certo
Não vai ser pra nenhum
Não vai não, não vai não, não vai não
No hospital, no restaurante,
No sinal, no Morumbi
No Mário Filho, no Mineirão
Menino me vê começa logo a pedir
Me dá, me dá, me dá um dinheiro aí!
Now I've looked into the abyss
Been drawn down
Separated from my wings
And you're wrecked
Stranded in a lavastorm
And your sails are burning down
And when the night approaches
To hold your hand this time
Realise and fear
It won't be there when you awake
On your journey
Your companion is a twin
Who scares you with his smile
And tries to turn you `round
To x-ray your thoughts
To find out why you smile
And when the night approaches
To hold your hand this time
Realise and fear

Sunday morning, headache's healed
Strapped into our chesterfield
Caught our breath off the TV's chill
Cat is dead on the window sill
Brain is functioning cold as night
This god-damned day is out of sight
So much time to waste away
Too much time, for just one day
But still I caught a chill from skinny walking
I'm caught off guard that you're still gorgeous when you smell.
Hop the road to go and rent a flick
First time out kind of makes me sick
Today's breakfast won't take us far
Three cups of coffee and a candy bar
Despite the fact we're going to fight today
We'll scratch and win until our love's okay
Screw on the couch and scream at the sun
And maybe Monday morning won't ever come
And I'll never feel this home again
The world outside gives us nothing to see
They're blaring Black Cabbage on the CBC
Coffee's gone around 3 pm
I guess it's time to start drinking again
All our friends come invade our home
Kind of wish they'd just leave us alone
Poser Jesus thinks your dad's too deep
