Music of the day: Otis Taylor “Ten million slaves”

Otis Taylor – Ten million slaves

Rain and fire crossed that ocean
Another mad man done struck again
Rain and fire crossed that ocean
Another mad man done struck again

Sitting down here fallout shelter
Paint my walls, twice a week
Sitting down here fallout shelter
Think about the slaves, long time ago

Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean
They had shackles on Their Legs
Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean
They had Shackles on Their Legs

Don’t know where, where they’re going
Don’t know where, where they’ve been
Don’t know where, where they’re going
Don’t know where, where they’ve been

Sun goes out, you’ll be standing
You’ll be standing by yourself
Sun goes out, you’ll be standing
You’ll be standing by yourself

Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean
They Had Shackles on their legs
Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean
They had shackles on their legs

Don’t know where, where they’re going
Don’t know where, where they’ve been
Don’t know where, where they’re going
Don’t know where, where they’ve been

Ten million slaves crossed that ocean
They had shackles on their legs
Food goes bad, food looks Rancid
But they ate it anyway

Don’t know where, where they’re going
Don’t know where, where they’ve been
Don’t know where, where they’re going
Don’t know where, where they’ve been

Sun goes out, you’ll be standing
You’ll be standing all alone
Sun goes out, you’ll be standing
You’ll be standing all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone, all alone

Música para os meus ouvidos: “Cantigas de Maio” – Carlos do Carmo & Bernardo Sassetti

Carlos do Carmo & Bernardo Sassetti

“Cantigas de Maio”

Interpretation: José Afonso / Carlos do Carmo & Bernardo Sassetti

Music and Lyrics: José Afonso

Eu fui ver a minha amada
Lá p’rós baixos dum jardim
Dei-lhe uma rosa encarnada
Para se lembrar de mim

Eu fui ver o meu benzinho
Lá p’rós lados dum passal
Dei-lhe o meu lenço de linho
Que é do mais fino bragal

Minha mãe quando eu morrer
Ai chore por quem muito amargou
Para então dizer ao mundo
Ai Deus mo deu Ai Deus mo levou

Eu fui ver uma donzela
Numa barquinha a dormir
Dei-lhe uma colcha de seda
Para nela se cobrir

Eu fui ver uma solteira
Numa salinha a fiar
Dei-lhe uma rosa vermelha
Para de mim se encantar

Minha mãe quando eu morrer
Ai chore por quem muito amargou
Para então dizer ao mundo
Ai Deus mo deu Ai Deus mo levou

Eu fui ver a minha amada
Lá nos campos eu fui ver
Dei-lhe uma rosa encarnada
Para de mim se prender

Verdes prados, verdes campos
Onde está minha paixão
As andorinhas não param
Umas voltam outras não

Minha mãe quando eu morrer
Ai chore por quem muito amargou
Para então dizer ao mundo
Ai Deus mo deu Ai Deus mo levou

Mishka – Happy

Album: Double Take-Here 2 Stay

Your legs so long, your smile so sweet
And you move gracefully down the street
Right in the time with the beat
Of my heart, yeah

Your eyes of fire
Your voice choir of angels
You’re so beautiful
That I don’t really know where I’m to start

When I tell you the truth girl
You run away and cry
When I tell you the truth girl
You run away and cry, yeah

But you’re happy, happy, happy
You’re so happy with your plastic smile
Are you happy, happy, happy
Are you happy with your plastic smile and a lie

I give you my ocean songs and they go on for miles
But all you wanted to do was walk the aisles of some shopping malls
I won’t put down my guard in a world so hard I got to move forward, yes
But it seems that all I’m doing is building walls, yeah

When I tell you the truth girl
You run away and cry
When I tell you the truth girl
You run away and cry

Are you happy, happy, happy
Are you happy with your plastic smile, oh baby
Are you happy, happy, happy
Are you happy with your plastic smile and a lie

When I tell you the truth girl
You run away and cry, yeah
When I tell you the truth girl
You run away and cry

Are you happy, happy, happy
Are you happy with your plastic smile
Are you happy, happy, happy
Are you happy with your plastic smile and a lie

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros – Man on Fire

 

 

I am a man on fire
Of the . street
With one guitar two dancing queens
Only one desire that is left in me
Hold on that road to come dance with me
Come dance with me
Murder and pain
Come set you free
Oh hardly can change
On see our bodies burning like old big sun
Only one .. deep burning from
Everybody wants safety
Everybody wants comfort
Everybody wants certain
Everybody but me
I am a man on fire
Of the . street
With one guitar two dancing feet
Only one desire that is left in me
Hold on that road to come dance with me
Come dance with me
Yeah
Come dance with me
Murder and pain
Come set you free
Oh hardly can change
Won’t see our bodies burning like old big sun
Only one .. deep burning from
Everybody wants safety
Everybody wants comfort
Everybody wants certain
Everybody but me
I am a man on fire
Of the . street
With one guitar two dancing feet
Only one desire that is left in me
Hold on that road to come dance with me
Come dance with me
Yeah

Music of the day: The Paper Kites “Bloom”

  The Paper Kites – Bloom

In the morning when I wake
And the sun is coming through,
Oh, you fill my lungs with sweetness,
And you fill my head with you.

Shall I write it in a letter?
Shall I try to get it down?
Oh, you fill my head with pieces
Of a song I can’t get out.

Can I be close to you?
Ooh-oo-oo-ooh, ooh (simile).
Can I be close to you?
Ooh, ooh.

Can I take it to a morning
Where the fields are painted gold
And the trees are filled with memories
Of the feelings never told?

When the evening pulls the sun down,
And the day is almost through,
Oh, the whole world it is sleeping,
But my world is you.

Can I be close to you?
(Ah) ooh (aah), ooh (aah).
Can I be close to you?
(Ah) ooh (aah), ooh (aah).

*whistling*

Can I be close to you?
(Ah) ooh (aah), ooh (aah).
Can I be close to you?
(Ah) ooh (aah), ooh (aah).

Can I be close to you?
Ooh, ooh.

Music of the day: Beirut – Vagabond

Beirut – Vagabond

Left a bag of bones
A trail of stones
For to find my way home

Now, as the air grows cold
The trees unfold
And I am lost and not found

And who’d know?

Left a bag of bones
A trail of stones
For to find my way home

Now, as the air grows cold
The trees unfold
And I am lost and not found

Music of the day: Dalida – Bang Bang

Mi ricordo quando noi
eravamo due bambini
e puntavamo le pistole
dai cavalli a dondolo

Bang Bang
io sparo a te
Bang Bang
tu spari a me
Bang Bang
e vincerà
Bang Bang
chi al cuore colpirà.

Sono passati gli anni e poi
noi ci siamo innamorti
correvamo per i prati
tu scherzavi insieme a me

Bang Bang
per ridere
Bang Bang
sparavi a me
Bang Bang
e vincerà
Bang Bang
chi al cuore colpirà.

Certo non scherzavi tu
quando mi sparavi al cuor
nel mirar non sbagliavi mai
prove a negare se tu vuoi .
Ora non mi ami più
ed ho sentito un colpo al cuore
quando mi hai detto che
non vuoi stare più con me

Bang Bang
e resto cui
Bang Bang
a piangere
Bang Bang
hai vinto tu
Bang Bang
il cuore non l’ho più.

Quando vedo intorno a me
che i bambini giocano
e puoi fingon di sparar
come mi si stringe il cuore

Bang Bang
rivedo te
Bang Bang
che spari a me
Bang Bang
quel suono sai
Bang Bang
non lo scorderò mai
