Antonio Vega - Romance de Curro "El Palmo"

 


La vida y la muerte
Bordada en la boca
Tenía merceditas
La del guardarropa
La del guardarropa
Del tablao del "lacio"
Un gitano falso
Ex-bufón de palacio
Alcahuete noble
Que al oír los tiros
Recogió sus capas
Y se pegó el piro
Se acabó el jaleo
Y el racionamiento
Le llenó el bolsillo
Y montó este invento
En donde "el palmo"
Lloró cantando

Ay, mi amor
Sin ti no entiendo el despertar
Ay, mi amor
Sin ti mi cama es ancha
Ay, mi amor
Que me desvela la verdad
Entre tú y yo, la soledad
Y un manojillo de escarcha

Mil veces le pide
Y mil veces que "nones"
De compartir sueños
Cama y macarrones
Le dice burlona
"carita gitana
Cómo hacer buen vino
De una cepa enana"

Y curro se muerde
Los labios y calla
Pues no hizo la mili
Por no dar la talla
Y quien calla, otorga
Como dice el dicho
Y curro se muere
Por ese mal bicho

¡ay! quién fuese abrigo
Pa' andar contigo

Buscando el olvido
Se dio a la bebida
Al mus, las quinielas
Y en horas perdidas
Se leyó enterito
A don marcial la fuente
Por no ir tras su paso
Como un penitente

Y una noche, mientras
Palmeaba farrucas
Se escapó mercedes
Con un "curapupas"
De clínica propia
Y rolls de contrabando
Y entre palma y palma
Curro fue palmando

Entre cantares
Por soleares

Quizá fue la pena
O falta de hierro
El caso es que un día
Nos tocó ir de entierro
Pésames y flores
Y una lagrimita
Que dejó ir la patro
Al cerrar la cajita

A mano derecha
Según se va al cielo
Veréis un tablao
Que montó frascuelo
En donde cada noche
Pa' las buenas almas
El currito "el palmo"
Sigue dando palmas

Y canta sus males
Por "celestiales"

Megadeth - A Tout Le Monde

 

Don't remember where I was
I realized life was a game
The more seriously I took things
The harder the rules became
I had no idea what it'd cost
My life passed before my eyes
I found out how little I accomplished
All my plans denied

So as you read this, know, my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Please smile when you think of me
My body's gone, that's all

A tout le monde
A tout mes amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free

If my heart was still alive
I know it would surely break
And my memories left with you
There's nothing more to say

Moving on is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard
You know the sleeping feel no more pain
And the living are scarred

A tout le monde
A tout mes amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free

(So as you read this, know, my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Please smile, smile when you think about me
My body's gone, that's all)

(These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free)

SEVDALIZA - SHAHMARAN

 


I'd weigh a million pounds if you were gravity
I'd take a billion pills if they gave me sanity

Time has passed me by
Share my great advice
For granted, taken nice
Weigh a pit underneath the light

The force that perfect us
And all the affections
As they infect us, love couldn't help us
Ooh, you crawl underneath me

I'd die a million deaths, and you'd resurrect me
I'd fall a billion times, but you wouldn't let me
You wouldn't let me

The force that perfect us
And all the affections
As they infect us, love couldn't help us
Where would I go?
Where would I go?

Where would I go?
Where would I go?
Where would I go...?

Ooh

Beth Hart and Jeff Beck - I’d Rather Go Blind (Buddy Guy Tribute)

 

Something told me it was over
When I saw you and her talking,
Something deep down in my soul said, "cry girl"',
When I saw you and that girl, walking out.

Ooo I would rather, I would rather go blind boy,
Than to see you, walk away from me child, and all
Ooooo so you see, I love you so much
That I don't want to watch you leave me baby,
Most of all, I just don't, I just don't want to be free no

Ooo Ooo I was just, I was just, I was just sitting here thinking

Of your kiss and your warm embrace, yeah,
When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips, now baby,
Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah.

Ooo and baby, baby, I would rather, I would rather be blind boy
Than to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah

Ooo baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind now

David Byrne - Take me to the river

 


I don't know why I love her like I do
All the changes you put me through
Take my money, my cigarettes
I haven't seen the worst of it yet
I want to know that you'll tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Take me to the river, dip me in the water
Washing me down, washing me down

I don't know why you treat me so bad
Think of all the things we could have had
Love is an ocean that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I would never regret

I want to know that you'll tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Push me in the river, dip me in the water
Washing me down, washing me

Hug me, squeeze me, love me, tease me
'Til I can't, 'til I can't, 'til I can't take no more of it
Take me to the water, drop me in the river
Push me in the water, drop me in the river
Washing me down, washing me down

I don't know why I love you like I do
All the troubles you put me through
Sixteen candles there on my wall
And here am I the biggest fool of them all

I want to know that you'll tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river and drop me in the water
Dip me in the river, drop me in the water
Washing me down, washing me down

Steve Earle - Meet me in the Alleyway

 

I had a melancholy malady
Wen to see the doctor and the doctor say
Too bad nothin' he could do he
Knew a man in Louisiana if I'm willin' to pay
Laid my money on the barrelhead
Man behind the bar began to shimmy and shake
Can't lie I reckoned I was dead
When he picked up my money up and I heard him say

Meet me in the alleyway
Minute to midnight don't be late
Meet me in the alleyway
Better come runnin' the spirits won't wait

Thirteen tiger teeth in my talisman
St. John The Conqueror and a black cat bone
Been seen walkin' with the Guardians
Now I'm in the alley and I'm all alone
Can't run can't hide from destiny
Knew this day was comin' nearly all of my life
Been done ain't the only boy from Tennessee
To carve his name in cypress with a jawbone knife

Meet me in the alleyway
Minute to midnight don't be late
Meet me in the alleyway
Better come runnin' the spirits won't wait

So you wanna be the king of America
Say you wanna know the oracle's mind
Say you wanna see the Marquessess of Mardi Gras
Dancin' with the devil at the end of the line

Meet me in the alleyway
Minute to midnight don't be late
Meet me in the alleyway
Better come runnin' the spirits won't wait

Meet me in the alleyway
Don't be late
Meet me in the alleyway
Better come runnin' the spirits won't wait

Tash Sultana - Pink Moon

 


Pink moon light the darkest room
Soon I will find my way through the record sound
Play my favourite song
Wipe the dust away
Carry all the weight
I miss someone said
Bury your heart in the deepest ocean
And I would travel clearing ants
Past the black quicksand
But I don't got a light
Putting up one hell of a fight
Playlist in the water
To kill where they torture
And no, I don't care
No I don't

No I
I don't care

No, I don't care
'Cause I'm going crazy
I can't
'Cause I'm going crazy
I can't

Pink moon light the darkest room
Show that unhinged; my brain
Send me on a soldiering
Kiss away the plane
It all feels the same
Put the candlelight on
Like we had before
The captain was wrong
We run out with the winds
Where does this all end?
I'm buckling in my shirts

But I don't got a light
Put up one hell of a fight
Playlist in the water
To kill where they torture
And no, I don't care

No I don't
No I don't
No no no
No I don't...

'Cause I don't care
No, I don't care
And no, I don't care
No, I don't care

Start going crazy
'Cause I'm going crazy
'Cause I'm going crazy
'Cause I'm going crazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy
'Cause I'm going crazy
I can't, I can't

Porcupine Tree - Harridan

 


Gold man bites down on a silver tongue
Takes a deep breath and blows the candle out
He knows the truth but he keeps it to himself
Here it is
You can only save yourself
Only yourself

When we bite the dust
We will hide our cuts from the world
When you’re in the dirt
You don’t show your hurt to the world
When we bite the dust
We will hide our cuts from the world
When you’re in the dirt
You don’t show your hurt to the world

Cold man, white knuckles on the wheel
Well it’s all just there to steal
You just gotta take it
Take it like the harridan you are

When we bite the dust
We will hide our cuts from the world
When you’re in the dirt
You don’t show your hurt to the world

It’s the time of the almost rain without you
I am in debt to night
And gone to earth for love
And I, a shadow
And what of us?
And what of me?
And what is left without you?

When we bite the dust
We will hide our cuts from the world
When you’re in the dirt
You don’t show your hurt to the world

It’s the time of the almost rain without you
I am in debt to night
And gone to earth for love
And I, a shadow
And what of us?
And what of me?
And what is left without you?

Yasmin Williams - Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

 

The Teskey Brothers - Crying Shame

 

Sonata Artica - Good Enough Is Good Enough

 

It was not hard - to choose all the words that I should
put in your mouth
in my own play of shadows
Between lines, word for word, honey.

See who I am?
Out where nothing's forgiven
A small yet very loud part of me is still screaming after you...

Good enough was good enough for me
as it should always be
You broke my heart when it was weak
Guess you were not meant for me...

I had a dream you broke - with your twisted ways
Still leaving me? Please take your time, but go away
Don’t flash that light anymore, honey...

The seasons change...
I was the summer to your heart
the winter lured you away more than once, now I know:
I am free

Good enough was good enough for me
as it should always be
You broke my heart and still I grieve
How can you be over me?

I always thought we’d made it, found a way to live together
You saved the best for last and now it's too late
I count the hours of the day that
seems to last forever

Words through the door
a glance from a broken window
I found your key from the floor
and my heart, suddenly, cut off clean

Good enough was good enough for me
as it should always be
You broke my heart and still I grieve,
How can you be over me?

Good enough was good enough for me
as it should always be
You spread a tale of lies about me
And I believed it, my heart's got a leak...

Balthazar - Moment

 

I'm not in a hurry to
Stop living this illusion
And I don't even wanna know
How it's feeding my confusion

So can we take it all, this time
No need to start choosing
See baby ain't it fun to win
After so much losing

And anytime, anyhow
I'm living for this moment
But it means nothing without you

So why are you in a hurry to
Stop living this illusion
After all there ain't nothing else
To build upon these ruins

Anytime, anyhow
I'm living for this moment
But it means nothing without you
Yeah you

Ooh
Free your mind, free your mind
Ooh
Free your mind, free your

Every other mantra sounds
Like the next solution
See I come to you, you come to me
And so we'll preach our own conclusion

Anytime, anyhow
I'm living for this moment
But it means nothing without you
Yeah you

Ooh
Free your mind, free your mind
Ooh
Free your mind, free your mind

Ooh
Free your mind, free your mind
Ooh
Free your mind, free your mind
Ooh
Free your mind, free your mind
Ooh
Free your mind, free your

Paul Mccartney & John Lennon - The Long And Winding Road

 

The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to you door

The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here?
Let me know the way

Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried
Anyway, you'll never know
The many ways I've tried

And still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long, long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door

But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long, long time ago
Don't keep me waiting here
Lead me to your door

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ritual - Wingspread

 

There was dawning nature looking in serene
Put no question answer still unseen
Measure not the wingspread mentioned in this pact
So true movers so true shakers act

Conscious mastering teacher cheat no more with time crushed by silence takes you to her clime
Points of view forgotten opened to the world
You won′t hear me if I open true the words
In the flux of everything

In this wingspread
In the flux of everything
In this wingspread

Only for an instant heed the chant of life
On the rugged path still remoter strife
Starry recognition conveys the gentle will
Lichen voices spell your fortune still

So your attitude will be that of acceptance
In the flux of everything that happens
This heroic spirit learned the winding shores
Now when passive wide it's wingspread soars

In this wingspread
In the flux of everything
In this wingspread

Erik Truffaz & Sophie Hunger - Let Me Go !

This is my freedom,
This is my voice,
My piece of venom,
My blind eyed choice.

These are my movements,
These are my arms,
This is my trumpet,
These are my drums, drums, drums

Let me go, Let me go,
Let me go, let me go.

This is my moment,
Again and again,
I'm not in existence,
I have never been.

I am my future,
I'm on my way,
For ever, for ever,
Lets play, lets play, play, play.

Let me go, let me go,
Let me go, let me go.

Frozen - Let It Go


The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I'm the queen

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I've tried
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know

Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don't care what they're going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway

It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I'm free

Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me cry
Here I stand and here I stay
Let the storm rage on

My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back, the past is in the past

Let it go, let it go
When I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand in the light of day
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway

Buika - La Niebla


Para verme mejor, cierra los ojos
Para encontrarme, mejor perderme
Para tenerme cerca, suelta la cuerda
Que yo estoy aquí como está la niebla

Si me hablas a mí, no uses la lengua
La soledad y yo hacemos uno
Si quieres que ande, no me des cuerda
Que yo estoy aquí como está la niebla

La niebla que no obedece reglas
Que es humo y bruma tras la fiesta
Niebla, la niebla no sabe de reglas
Es humo frío y bruma tras la fiesta

Deja que llegue a ti como la niebla
Lo que no se puede decir, no se dice
Y lo que no se pueda contar, no se cuenta
La niebla no sabe de reglas
Es humo frío y bruma tras la fiesta

Deja que llegue a ti como la niebla
Lo que no se puede decir, no se dice
Y lo que no se pueda contar, no se cuenta
La niebla no sabe de reglas
Naturaleza que es humo frío y bruma tras la fiesta

Para guardarme a mí la jaula abierta
Para gozar mi sonrisa, hazme feliz
Para recoger primaveras antes siembra
Yo estoy aquí como está la niebla

Yo sigo aquí como la niebla
Yo estoy aquí como está la niebla
Para ti como la niebla

Cécile McLorin Salvant - I Didn't Know What Time it Was


I didn't know what time it was then I met you
Oh, what a lovely time it was, how sublime it was too
I didn't know what day it was you held my hand
Warm like the month of may it was and I'll say it was grand
Grand to be alive, to be young, to be mad, to be yours alone
Grand to see your face, feel your touch, hear your voice
Say I'm all your own
I did not know what year it was, live was no prize
I wanted love and there it was, shining out of your eyes
I'm wise and I know what time it's now.
Grand to be alive, to be young, to be mad, to be yours alone
Grand to see your face, hear your voice, feel your touch
Say I'm all your own
I did not know what year it was, live was no prize
I wanted love and there it was, shining out of your eyes
I'm wise and I know what time it's now.
I didn't know what time it was then I met you
Oh, what a lovely time it was, how sublime it was too
I didn't know what day it was you held my hand
Warm like the month of may it was and I'll say it was grand
Grand to be alive, to be young, to be mad, to be yours alone
Grand to see your face, hear your voice, feel your touch
Say I'm all your own
I didn't know what year it was, live was no prize
I wanted love and there it was, shining out of your eyes
I'm wise and I know what time it's now.

SYML - Symmetry

Come now child, the day is long
Hide not yourself from me
Angels sing the final song
Silence will turn to sleep
Take heed my son
The darkness will come
Black holes will bend the proudest ones
And change up your symmetry
Just as the night swallows the sun
I know you'll come for me
Take heed my son
The darkness will come
Take heed my son
The darkness will come
Rest now, child, the day is done
The dark comes for everything
Inside the heart of everyone
There lives infinity

José James - The Dreamer

I saw the dreamer raise his hands
Into a world of possibilities
I saw the dreamer raise his hands
Into a sky of light and love
I saw the dreamer raise his hands
Into a day of tomorrow
I saw the dreamer raise his hands
