Song I couldn't write
05:42

So my mother told me the other day
hey you, singer, why don't you play
a song about a song you couldn't write
when you left your guitar in the car of that guy
But she was my mother, so I said: oh, lord...
you know I love you mama, why to ask for more?
When I was 12 I fell in love
with the neighbour girl, and well, how not?
I liked to hide with her when we played
I dreamed with her kiss, and that's all I'll say
But she was 2 years older than I, oh lord...
I couldn't have any chance of a yes from her words.
I was playing alone, with the branch of a tree
I was jumping with my hands and landing with my feets
when I hurt one hand and wondered if I could
keep playing with the other one that'd be fun and good
But it was too high and risky for me,
I knew I couldn't fly, I knew it couldn't be
When I grew up a little, but still a kid
I wanted to travel all around and keep
a brave and a free heart, I wanted to meet
the beauty of this world and its mistery
But I was too young and I feared to die,
and I was alone, and I, and I...
When I first played my first guitar
I played some chords and I sang some lines
I made up a story and I felt so free
so I did it again, alone and for me
But I knew the sound of my voice was so bad
in the end I choosed to use what I had
So I sing, sing, sing
my stories and songs,
and I went away to travel alone,
and I nearly died, and sometimes it went wrong,
if you look in my eyes you'll see I've never returned,
and I jumped with one hand, to play with the branch
and I fell to the floor and I broke my arm,
and I took strenght and I went to show
"I love you, girl", and she said no,
and I wrote this song I couldn't write
when I left my guitar in the car of that guy,
and I thank you mama, still hard to tell
if I did wrong or I did well,
But anyways I travel on
and now I fly, the fear is gone,
and now I'm so proud of my mum,
and I listen to her, and I do what I want,
and I say "love you" whenever it's true,
and I sing sing sing my song to you...
And I sing, sing, sing my stories and songs,
and I went away to travel alone,
and I nearly died, and sometimes it went wrong,
if you look in my eyes you'll see I've never returned,
and I jumped with one hand, to play with the branch
and I fell to the floor and I broke my arm,
and I took strenght and I went to show
"I love you, girl", and she said no,
and I wrote this song I couldn't write
when I left my guitar in the car of that guy.
-Castellano-
Entonces me dijo mi madre el otro día:
oye, cantante, ¿porqué no tocas
una canción sobre una canción que no pudiste escribir
cuando te dejaste la guitarra en el coche de ese tio?
Pero era mi madre, asíque dije: dios mio...
Si ya sabes que te quiero, mama, ¿para qué pedir más?
Cuando tenía 12 años, me enamoré
de la vecina, y bueno, ¿cómo no?
Me gustaba esconderme con ella cuando jugábamos,
y soñaba con su beso, y es todo cuanto diré.
Pero era dos años mayor que yo, ai dios...
No tenía una la más mínima oportunidad de un sí de su boca.
Estaba jugando solo con la rama de un árbol,
saltaba con las manos y aterrizaba con los pies,
cuando me hice daño en una mano, y me pregunté si podría
seguir jugando con la otra, sería divertido,
Pero estaba demasiado alto, y era demasiado arriesgado,
sabía que no podía volar, que eso no podía ocurrir.
Cuando crrecí un poco, pero aún un niño,
quería viajar por todo el mundo, y mantener
un corazón valeroso y libre, quería conocer
la belleza de este mundo, y su misterio.
Pero era demasiado joven, y yo tenía miedo de morir...
y estaba solo, y yo..., y yo...
Cuando toqué por primera vez mi primera guitarra
toqué algunos acordes y canté algunas líneas,
me inventé una historia y me sentí tan libre
que lo hice de nuevo, solo y para mi.
Pero sabía que el sonido de mi voz era tan horrible...
Al final, decidí usar lo que tenía
asíque canto, canto y canto
mis historias y canciones,
y me fui lejos a viajar solo,
y casi me muero y a veces fue mal la cosa,
si miras en mis ojos verás que nunca he regresado,
y salté con una mano para jugar con la rama,
y me caí al suelo y me rompí un brazo,
y cogí fuerza y fui a mostrarle
"te quiero, niña", y me dijo que no,
y escribí esta canción que no pude escribir
cuando me dejé la guitarra en el coche de ese tío,
y te lo agradazco, madre, pero sigue siendo difícil decir
si lo hice mal o si lo hice bien.
De cualquier forma, continúo adelante,
y ahora vuelo y el miedo se ha esfumado,
y estoy tan orgulloso de mi madre,
y la escucho y hago cuanto quiero,
y digo "te amo" cuando es verdadero
y canto, canto y canto mi canción para ti.
Asíque canto, canto y canto
mis historias y canciones,
y me fui lejos a viajar solo,
y casi me muero y a veces fue mal la cosa,
si miras en mis ojos verás que nunca he regresado,
y salté con una mano para jugar con la rama,
y me caí al suelo y me rompí un brazo,
y cogí fuerza y fui a mostrarle
"te quiero, niña", y me dijo que no,
y escribí esta canción que no pude escribir
cuando me dejé la guitarra en el coche de ese tío.

Allways the same no more

Robertson Blackhat was loving Louise
Louise was falling in love with Robert
But every time he came closer and near
she feared without knowing why, leading to nothing
It was allways the same, he came to the floor...
better allways the same no more.
Louise Guitar was loving Bob
Bob was falling in love with Louise
but every time she went away
he feared without knowing why, leading to nothing
it was allways the same, when crossing the door...
better allways the same no more.
One evening, after having sex,
he said "love you so much", she didn't answer
he feared abandon, so came closer to her
but she got away the closer he came
it was allways the same, it was breaking his heart
for better allways the same no more.
Louise didn't want to break up with him
she just needed space in betweetn, but she loved him.
But Bob was getting so mad with Louise,
he suffered like crazy, but couldn't achieve
to see it was allways the same, but what for...?
better allways the same no more.
And I wonder myself, how many times
I've broken my heart for no reason
for stucking with someone that's no able to give me
that love that I need, that love that I seek for
it was allways the same, my heart on the floor...
but allways the same no more.

Winter call
04:35
|

I walk to the winter call
The leafs around me, they fall
The leafs around me, they fall
They fall into my bare hands
Just some, so I understand
Just some, so I understand
Sometimes it's hard to tell
What's love and what's golden hell
What's love and what's golden hell
And I beleive no devil
And I beleive no god
And I beleive no good ones
And I beleive no bad
I know I got my body
And that's all I have
I know I got some needs
And that's why I breathe
So If you're able to accept my body
And you're able to accept my needs
And you're able to show your respect
I can love you, bad or good one,
And we can become good friends
I sing my life clear and free
To find myself outside me
To find myself outside me
The clearer I speak, the more
I'll laugh when crossing the door
I'll laugh when crossing the door
I'll be smiling by those eyes
That show how simple is life
That show how simple is life
And I beleive no devil
And I beleive no god
And I beleive no good ones
And I beleive no bad
I know I got my body
And that's all I have
I know I got some needs
And that's why I breathe
So If you're able to accept my body
And you're able to accept my needs
And you're able to show your respect
I can love you, bad or good one,
And we can become good friends

Lion Kid

I once found a smiley puppy
hidden in some bushes
of colorful ideas and crazy dreams
flying over poetry I found her an interesting being
So we played a little while
we rolled over the ground
and we grew a shiny smile
time was like a mess, space was like the higher cloud
and we had a lot of sex
Lion Kid, her red hair blowing with the wind
Lion Kid, I see her smiling as I sing,
Lion Kid, your red hair blowing with the wind,
Lion Kid, I see you smiling...
Her skin was soon covered by feathers,
she flew over the river
and she kind of gave me wings,
we went along toghether
she brighted like the red sun,
what a crazy living thing
Nothing ever got her down,
for there was freedom in her soul,
and there was love filling her heart,
she crowld and she said no
when she wanted to
and she didn't fear to say goodbye
Lion Kid, her red hair blowing with the wind
Lion Kid, I see her smiling as I sing,
Lion Kid, your red hair blowing with the wind,
Lion Kid, I see you smiling...
One day she went just as she came
atracted by a rainbow that stimulated her game
of poetry and fantasy
freedom and much love within
she only left behind her flying name...
Lion Kid, her red hair blowing with the wind
Lion Kid, I see her smiling as I sing,
Lion Kid, your red hair blowing with the wind,
Lion Kid, I see you smiling...

Forgotten
08:20
|

She came not knowing
where she was going
in this world where she was told to be what she was not.
She longed for loving,
as everyone
but she was allways forgotten until she, herself, forgot.
I saw some broken eyes,
I heard a silent cry
she had to stand her relationship
without saying what she thought to make no conflict
She understood him every day,
but he rathered saying: women are just this way.
So many things she didn't say
not to make him angry again
And her,
forgotten from the lands she belongs,
belonging some land she doesn't know,
she want's to speak to you
but she's alone.
When she was younger than now,
she used to go out with her friend
they runned away from her mum and dad
to have some fun over the clouds.
And with the boys all day the same,
same dirty jokes, same attitude of them:
you're the weak, we're the strong,
they were saying while laughing on and on
And her
forgotten from the lands she belongs,
belonging some land she doesn't know,
she want's to speak to you
but she's alone.
One day, she met the guy who
she got married with, 'cause she was supposed to
it was supposed to be the dream,
but she felt her wings becoming poor.
So she dove in into her books,
she saw her starting a life she didn't want to,
so as the guy was shouting by
she went away to live her own life.
and her
forgotten from the lands she belongs,
belonging some land she doesn't know,
she want's to speak to you
but she's alone.
So in the end, she met this man
he was intelligent, creative and kind
but many times she couldn't speak to him,
for he went angry and went away so mad
And she was getting old,
and she was getting tired
and she went down the river
and he did never ever know why...
And her
forgotten from the lands the belongs,
belonging some land she doesn't know,
she want's to speak with you
but she's alone...

My first true love, my darling, my dear
I'll sing you this song, I'll sing these old tears
'cause there have been some things I didn't speak clear
About how much I wished to know you more closer
About how much I wished to see you those evenings
About how much I wished to share my whole living
I was asking for oceans where there was just rivers
I was asking for oceans where there was just rivers
My first true love, my darling, my dear
I'll sing you this song, I'll sing these old tears
'cause there have been some things I didn't speak clear
About lies I beleived to think I was stronger
About lies I beleived that made me weaker
"It's allright for me to see you as friends just"
"And I'm not in love, and I don't suffer like crazy"
Truth is I was crazy for love you
Truth is my heart was all gone for your laughter
Truth is I didn't feed what he asked for
And he asked for your loving, I couldn't ask you
And I went away, thousand miles grieving,
And I looked for the roads that lead me to anywhere
And I just found some roads that lead me to nothing
'Cause I was running away from the only road leading
To the only one thing that my hommeless heart cared for
It was you, the only one my hommeless heart cared for,
And you were the reason that moved me for leaving
I was asking for oceans where there was just rivers,
I was asking for oceans where there was just rivers...
My first true love, my darling, my dear
I'll sing you this song, I'll sing these old tears
'cause there have been some things I didn't speak clear
I was asking for oceans where there was just rivers
And I hated myself when I heard my own grievings
And I dead-feared you said "I don't want to see you"
And I died each time you didn't want to see me,
`Cause my heart's true will was to dive in your eyes' look
'Cause my heart's true will was to dive in your silence
And I hated myself and I died in my grievings,
'Cause my heart's true will was to dive in your eyes' look
And I allways felt you some kind of love me
Yes, I allways felt you some kind of love me
My first true love, my darling, my dear
I'll sing you this song, I'll sing these old tears
'cause there have been some things I didn't speak clear
You've been in my thoughts, you've been my best friend
And I've dead-feared your love could come to the end
But the fear is now weaker, so now I intend
To show you these old tears, somehow I still love you
And I allways felt you some kind of love me
And I see there's no point on asking for oceans
And I'll look for the oceans there where I can find them
And maybe we'll see each other a' morning
When I come in-land for the mountains I needed
And then we could have a nice time by the river
And then we could have a nice time by the river
My first true love, my darling, my dear...

Little boy song
03:35
|
|||
On the countryside road
where the flour find the bees
a man and his
sweet guitar sang as I ride
Why you 'lone little boy,
what's that silence in your eyes?
I said thanks for your singing,
but my heart's all dead and gone,
still have my tongue
but no words in there for sing.
And I once had it all,
and I've lost too many things.
He said I see your silence,
and I understand your grievings.
Life is a dream,
not all dreams are worth of living.
You can grow those old tears,
or you can grow for better dreamings.
And I cried, yes I cried, cried, cried...
On the mountain-side road,
where the clouds meet the trees
a man and his
sweet guitar sang as I ride
Where' you going little boy,
what's that sadness in your eyes?
I said thanks for your singing,
but my heart's lost and gone
Ain't got no home
and I got no place to stay,
I once had a destination,
now I'm lost along the way.
He said I see your silence,
understand your confusion,
life's an ilusion,
so decide which one to choose:
you got everything to win
and you got nothing to loose.
But I cried, yes I cried, cried, cried...
On the river-side road,
where the water find the mist
a man adn his
sweet guitar sang with a smile,
he was once a little boy,
he was lost and gone sometimes...
