Few & Far Between

[ merchant ]
[ alto sax: maceo parker/tenor sax: alfred pee wee ellis/trombone: fred wesley (together: the jb horns) ]
Times are far between, and few I bet, when we can look upon our lives without regret.
Of all the things I have done, you think Im proud of everyone without exception?
till you make your peace with yesterday, youll never build a future.
I swear by what I say.
Whatever penance you do, decide what its worth to you and then respect it.
However long it will take to weather your mistakes, why not accept it?
My hands, for now, are tied.
Im a body frozen.
Im a will thats paralyzed.
When will you ever set aside your pain and misery?
No matter how I beg, no matter how I wish or plead, youll never be more than alive.
Youll never do more than survive until you expect it.
Do you want to build a world with our lives?
You better soon decide or you can forget it.
My hands, for now, are tied.
Im a body frozen.
Im a will thats paralyzed.
till you drop that heavy baggage youre dragging behind, there wont be room for us to both go this ride.

Volare

penso che un sogno cosl, non ritorni mai piy
mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu
poi d4improvviso venivo dal vento rapito
e cominciavo a volare nel cielo infinito.
volare, oho
cantare, ohohoho
nel blu, dipinto di blu
felice di stare lassy.
e continuo a volare felice piy in alto del sole, ancora piy su mentre il mondo pian piano spariva lontano laggiy
una musica dolce suonava soltanto per me.
volare, oho
cantare, ohohoho
nel blu, dipinto di blu
felice di stare lassy
ma tutti i sogni dell4 alba svaniscon perchh
quando tramonta la luna li porta con sh
ma io continuo a sognare negli occhi tuoi belli
che sono blu come un cielo trapunto di stelle
volare, oho
cantare, ohohoho

Volare

Sometimes the world is a valley of heartaches and tears,
And in the hustle and bustle, no sunshine appears,
But you and I have our love always there to remind us
There is a way we can leave all the shadows behind us.
Volare, oh, oh!
Cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Lets fly way up in the clouds
Away from the maddening crowds
We can sing in the glow of a star that I know of
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind
Let us leave the confusion and all disillusion behind
Just like birds of a feather, a rainbow together well find
Volare, oh, oh!
Cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
Your love has given me wings
Your love has given me wings
Penso che un sogno cos non ritorni mai pi
Mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu

Volare (Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu)

Sometimes the world is a valley of heartaches and tears,
And in the hustle and bustle, no sunshine appears,
But you and I have our love always there to remind us
There is a way we can leave all the shadows behind us.
Volare, oh, oh!
Cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Let's fly way up in the clouds
Away from the maddening crowds
We can sing in the glow of a star that I know of
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind
Let us leave the confusion and all disillusion behind
Just like birds of a feather, a rainbow together we'll find
Volare, oh, oh!
Cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
Your love has given me wings
Your love has given me wings
Penso che un sogno cos non ritorni mai pi
Mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu

Aquel Romance

Si una cancin
Habla de amor
Cierto temor me hizo olvidar
El tiempo que fue
La llama que ardi
Fue felicidad que no nos dur
Por eso hoy quiero recordar lo que pas
Quiero revivir aqu en mi corazn
Aquel romance de los
Dos
El dijo que s
Y yo dije no
En contra de mis
Sentimientos de amor
Mi fuerza cedi ante su pasin
Mi mente vol ms alto que el sol
Por eso hoy quiero recordar lo que pas
Quiero revivir aqu en mi corazn
Aquel romance de los dos
Aquel romance de los dos

Guantanamo

[Intro:]
El sol calienta alla en lo alto
Y la palma real nos alumbra
Orgullo de mi tierra cubana
Aqui no hay canto en vano
[Translation:]
The sun heats above
And the royal palm enlights us
With the pride of my Cuban soil
Here it can't be found
A song in vain
[Chorus]
Mi casa y su casa - Guantanamo
The grass is greener on my side - eh eh eh
And I got all my moros here - Guantanamo
Just me y my familia - eh eh eh
[Rapverse1 (Isam)]
Ey chico!
Just idle the car while I run in to the super Mercado
Cop the Cuban bootleg compay Segundo

Take Me Back

Everyone tells me
I was dealt a losing hand
The way that I look
And the way that I act
Its not hard to understand
Sure I got troubles
Maybe you gotem too
Id like to explain what has happened to me
So it doesnt happen to you
I was born in los angeles
Many, many, many years ago
We lived out in north hollywood then
In a steamy little bungalow
My mother, my father
My baby brother and me
Playin cowboys all day
Out there in the valley
What a perfect family
Hey, hey
Get em up, get em up

Chan Chan

(francisco repilado)
(dm) - (f) - (c) - (a7)
De (dm) alto cedro voy (f) para marcane
(c) luego a cueto voy (a7) para mayari.
El cariiao a,ue te tengo
Yo no lo puedo negar
Se me sale la babita
Yo no lo puedo evitar.
Cuando juanica y chan chan
En el mar cernian arena
Como sacudia el jibe
A chan chan le daba pena.
Limpia el camino de paja
Que yo me qriero sentar
En aquel tronco que veo
Y asi no puedo llegar.
De alto cedro voy para marcane
Luego a cueto voy para mayari.

C. U. S. T.

Written by ugly kid joe
Im frank sinatra in a rock n roll band
Im a hevayweight demon with a heavyweight plan
Im uncle sam with a joint in my mouth
And my v8s floored when I headed down south
This aint hell, sure aint heaven
Pull on over to the seven eleven
Stop rich now, pontiac here
Big blue love budweiser beer
Cant you see them
Cant you see them
Gi joe Im stretch armstrong
Every blade of grass Im the water in the bong
Im aqua man Im the devil with a grin
Ambidextrous now cause I use both limbs
East palo alto, age 26
Full love circle not one love missed
A1 liquor, berones too
Crown royal, no. 502
Cant you see them

Walzer Di Gomma

Corre la giovent / corre e non
torna pi
passano gli anni e poi / non passan pi..."
"Bella la giovent / passa e non torna pi"
Quando mi trovo a passare di qua
sento la gente "cantare"
vedo le donne cambiare opinione
senza lasciarsi "fregare"!
Batto la testa in un mare di gomma
battere non mi fa male
ma le mie mani non toccano niente
le senti solo "affondare"!
Quando mi trovo a volare in alto sopra al mondo vedo la gente scappare
sento che arrivano gli uomini con il fucile sento che vogliono "sparare"!
Batto pi forte la testa nel muro battere fa rimbalzare
mentre la gomma, non fa il minimo rumore la senti solo affondare!
Quando la sera diventa pi buia
dopo una giornata splendida di sole ---h!
sento il respiro, il respiro del mare
dentro la gente che muore.
