Angelitos Negros
(by Roberta Flack)
Pintor nacido en mi tierra,
con el pincel extranjero,
pintor que sigues el rumbo,
de tantos pintores viejos.
Aunque la virgen sea blanca,
píntale angelitos negros,
que también se van al cielo,
todos los negritos buenos.
Pintor si pintas con amor,
¿por qué desprecias su color?,
si sabes que en el cielo,
también los quiere Dios.
Pintor de santos alcoba,
si tienes alma en el cuerpo,
por qué al pintar en tus cuadros,
te olvidaste de los negros.
Siempre que pintas iglesias,
pintas angelitos bellos,
pero nunca te acordaste,
de pintar un ángel negro

New York
Start spreading the news
I’m leaving today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes
Are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York
I wanna wake up in a city
That doesn’t sleep
And find I’m king of the hill
Top of the heap
These little town blues
Are melting a way
I’ll make a brand-new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there
I’ll make it anywhere
It’s up to you
New York, New York
New York, New York
I want to wake up
In a city that never sleeps
And find I’m a number one, top of the list
King of the hill, a number one
These little town blues
Are melting a way
I’m gonna make a brand-new start of it
In old New York
And… if I can make it there
I’m gonna make it anywhere
It’s up to you
New York, New York

Breathless
(by Nick Cave)
It’s up in the morning
And on the downs
Little white clouds
Like gambolling lambs
And I am breathless over you
And the red-breasted robin
Beats his wings
His throat it trembles
When he sings
For he is helpless before you
The happy hooded bluebells bow
And bend their heads all a-down
Heavied by the early morning dew
At the whispering stream
At the bubbling brook
The fishes leap up to take a look
For they are breathless over you
Still your hands
And still your heart
For still your face
Comes shining through
And all
The morning glows anew
Still your mind
Still your soul
For still
The fare of love is true
And I am breathless without you
The wind circles among the trees
And it bangs about the new-made leaves
For it is breathless without you
The fox chases the rabbit round
The rabbit hides beneath the ground
For he is defenceless without you
The sky of daytime dies away
And all the earthly things
They stop to play
For we are all breathless without you
I listen to my juddering bones
The blood in my veins
And the wind in my lungs
And I am breathless without you
Still your hands
And still your heart
For still your face
Comes shining through
And all
The morning glows anew
Still your soul
Still your mind
Still, the fire of love is true
And I am breathless without you

Naked, If I Want To
(by Moby Grape)
Would you let me walk down your street
Naked if I want to
Can I pop fireworks on the fourth of every single July
Can I buy an amplifier, oh, on time
My sweet time
Well I ain’t got no money
I will pay this time
And I ain’t got no money
But I will pay you before I die
And would you let me walk down your street
Naked if I want to
Can I pop fireworks on the fourth of every single July
Can I buy an aeroplane while i’m high in all the sky
And I got no mercy
I will pay this time
And I got no mercy
I will pay you before I die

I Feel
(by Hot Boys)
What’s happening?
The Hot Boys got some feelings
They like to get off they chest
And if these niggaz
Feel like we feel, then y’all niggaz real
Cause we feel like this here
I feel like niggaz can’t fuck with me
I feel like someone wanna be B.G.
I feel Lil’ Wayne will burn yo block so quick
I feel Turk will be quiet and take yo shit
I feel Juve will catch you
Slipping and unload the tech
I feel a big ass helicopter on the set
Sometimes I don’t even know how I feel
But I feel if you hating shit goin’ get real
I feel like goin’ buy me a brand new car
I feel like the neighborhood superstar
I feel like goin’ buy me a new rolex
I feel this album goin’ bring a big royalty check
I feel this nigga mad cuz I fucked his bitch
I feel like this nigga could just suck my dick
I feel like we taking over the industry fo” sho
I feel like this bitin’
Wannabe soldiers already know
I feel like Fresh is the best at beats
I feel like when you hear this shit
You goin’ feel like me
Nigga fuck you
I feel just like you (3x)
You fucking with the B.G.
You fucking with the whole crew
I feel like niggaz trying to size me up
I feel like niggaz trying to bust me up
I feel like Look, I can’t be stopped
I feel like me and my click too hot
I feel like hitting the block with four niggaz
I feel like the whole CMB made niggaz
I feel like hitting the ho after this ”cert
I feel like niggaz can’t fuck with Juve
The B.G. and Turk
I feel like
We bout to blow up in this world
I feel like if I gotta hustle
I’mma sell some ?furl?
Sometimes I just feel like jumping shop
I feel if my rhyme got beat, I’mma ride
I feel if a nigga flex up I pop the ?tro?
I feel like I could a nigga ho if I want
I feel like just getting it how I live
I feel like respect my mind lemme feel how I feel
You fuck with Lil’ Turk
You fucking with the whole crew
I feel like I’mma lose my life for this
I feel like I’mma have to fight for this
I feel motherfuckers they goin’ say I’m wrong
I feel niggaz goin’ get buck when they hear my song
I feel like puttin’ 20’s on up in my car
I feel like taking these bitch niggaz to war
I feel I deserve me a platinum plaque
I feel I shouldn’t have to ask for that
I feel y’all hos know a nigga want here
I feel y’all bitches know I’m holding my dick
I feel y’all know I’m bout to hit me a lick
I feel like goin’ to Texas for me some brick
I feel the policeman making me sick
I feel like the law don’t wanna see a nigga with shit
I feel like walking on my judgement now
I feel like on a budget now
Nigga I feel like that everything
I write somebody else will bite
I really think it’s the south fresh
Tracks they be tight
I just can’t explain
I feel like when 200 0 come it’ll be out my way
I feel like the Hot Boys them should be the president
I feel like burning up yo body to leave no evidence
I feel like money
Is the most important thing next to my seater
I feel like I should have
No bald head tramp up in my beamer
And I also feel that I’m also real
Ain’t no rollie like my rollie
Noone live like I live
And I, I feel that I’m one of a kind
I feel like niggaz call shot
But they ain’t got bitches like mine
I feel like tonight I’m goin’ ride, ride
And if you feel you goin’ die, die
Now baby, baby, baby what the deal
Respect my mind I’m just telling you how I feel

She’s Got You
(by Patsy Cline)
I’ve got your picture
That you gave to me
And it’s signed with love
Just like it used to be
The only thing different
The only thing new
I’ve got your picture
She’s got you
I’ve got the records
That we used to share
And they still sound the same
As when you were here
The only thing different
The only thing new
I’ve got the records
She’s got you
I’ve got your memory
Or has it got me?
I really don’t know
But I know it won’t let me be
I’ve got your class ring
That proved you cared
And it still looks the same
As when you gave it dear
The only thing different
The only thing new
I’ve got these little things
She’s got you

Blue
Blue
Songs are like tattoos
You know I’ve been to sea before
Crown and anchor me
Or let me sail away
Hey blue
Here is a song for you
Ink on a pin
Underneath the skin
An empty space to fill in
You’ve got to keep thinking
There’re so many sinking
You got to keep thinking
We can make it through these waves
Acid, booze and ass
Needles, guns and grass
Lots of laughs
Lots of laughs
Everybody’s saying that hell’s the hippest way to go out
I don’t think so
But I’m gonna take a look around it though
Blue, I love, I love you
I love you
Blue, here is a shell for you
Inside you’ll hear a sigh
A foggy lullaby
There is your song from me
Blue
From me
Odg: Cat Power - Tekstovi Pesama
Don’t Explain
Hush now, don’t explain
You’re the cause of all my
Trouble and pain
Unless you’re mad
Don’t explain
My love, my love, my love
Don’t explain
There is nothing within me now to gain
You know that I love you
Look at what loving has done
All my thoughts were real
And so sincere
I was so completely yours
You know I hear folks cha-cha-cha-chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong, that don’t matter
You’re here with me
Sit down, have a sit
It’s your time to feel the pain
It’s your time to weep
Don’t explain
Hush now, don’t explain
There is nothing within me now to gain
I’m gonna skip it instead
Don’t explain
Don’t explain

Song To Bobby
I wanna tell you
I’ve always wanted to tell you
But I never had the chance to say
What I feel in my heart from the beginning til my dying day
I was fifteen, sixteen maybe
In the park I was waving my arms
You were waved this way
And you sang the song I was screaming
I wanted you to
Another time was in South Carolina
It’s always been the third encore
Whose wind came roaring in
Can you tell me who were you singing for
Oh my God, can you tell me who you were singing to
A phone call from your New York City office
You were supposedly asking to see me
And how I wanted to tell you
That I was just only four hundred miles away
Who could believe that you were calling I was in DC
I was four hundred miles behind
Backstage pass in my hand
Giving you my heart was my plan I wish I could tell you
My chance
In the middle of the stadium in Paris, France
Can I finally tell you
Can I finally tell you
To be my man
April in Paris, can I see you
Can you please be my man

Lord, Help The Poor And Needy
Lord help to send a man
In this land
Oh Lord help send a man
In this land
When we all die together
And we face the rising sun
Oh my Lord, oh my lord
Lord Help the Poor and needy
In this land
Oh Lord Help the Poor and needy
In this land
When we all die together
And we face the rising sun
Oh Lord, help, my Lord
Lord help the human race
Lord help human race
Cause we all die together
And we face the morning sun
Oh Lord, help
Lord help the motherless children
In this land
Oh Lord help the motherless children
In this land
Cause we all die together
And we face the rising sun
Oh Lord, help, Lord

I Believe In You
They ask me how I feel
And if my love is real
And how I seem
To think that I know
I’m gonna make it through
They looked at me and frowned
They drove me from this town
They don’t want me around
Because I believe
They showed me to the door
They said don’t come back no more
We don’t like the way
You think you do
So I walked on my own
One thousand miles from my home
But I don’t feel alone
‘Cause I believe, I do
I believe in you even through all
Tears and laughter
I believe in you, even though
We’re apart
I believe in you, even in
The common laughter
Oh, when the dawn is nearing
And when the night is disappearing
This feeling will still
Be here in my heart
In my heart
Please don’t let me drift too far
Keep me safe and sound where you are
So I’ll always be renewed
And what you’ve given me here today
Is worth everything I’ve made
No matter what everyone might say
Because I believe
I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe in you
I believe in you
When we’ve had no time together
I believe in you
When white turns to black.
I believe in you
Even though we’ll all be a number
I’ll be oh your earth will be shaken
And friends will be forsaken
Please, we can’t go back
I believe in you

Silver Stallion
I’m gonna steal
A silver stallion
With not a mark upon
His silky hide
Teach him
He can trust me
Like a sister, one day
We’ll saddle up and ride
(Chorus)
And we’re gonna ride
We’re gonna ride
Ride like the one eyed
Jack of diamonds
With the devil
Close behind
We’re gonna ride
We’re gonna ride
I’m gonna find me
A reckless man
Razor blades
And dice in his eyes
Just a touch of sadness
In his fingers
Thunder and lightening
Iin his thighs
(Chorus)
I’m gonna chase
The sky forever
With the man
And the stallion
And the wind
The sun is gonna burn
Into a cinder
Before we ever pass
This way again
(Chorus)
Odg: Cat Power - Tekstovi Pesama
Lost Someone
I lost someone
A million to one
Ten thousand people
Under my false
Someone, the one, my one
The only one
That’s the someone
The someone
The only one
That’s the someone
That I lost
He’s nothing but a stranger
Come on home to me
I’m so weak on my knees
Help me, help me please
Please, please
Good God Almighty I love you
I lost someone
One trillion to one
A million people
Under the big old sun I see
My one on the street
Looking like a bomb
That’s my one
That’s my someone
He’s the one
He’s
Help that one
He’s nothing but a stranger
Bring on home to me
He’s so weak on both his bended knees
Can you help me, help me please
Gee whiz, I miss the one that I need
I lost someone

Ramblin’ (Wo)man
I can settle dow-own
And be doin’ just fine
Til I hear an old train
Rollin’ down the line
Then I hurry
Strai-aight home and pack
And if I didn’t go
I believe I’d blow my stack
I love you ba-aby
But you gotta understand
When the Lord made me
He made a ramblin’ man
Some folks
Might sa-ay that I’m no good
That I wouldn’t settle down
If I could
But when that open ro-oad
Starts to callin’ me
There’s somethin’
O’er the hill
That I gotta see
Sometimes it’s har-rd
But you gotta understand
When the Lord made me
He made a ra-amblin’ man
I love to see
The tow-owns a-passin’ by
And to ride these rails
‘Neath God’s blue sky
Let me travel this la-and
From the mountains to the sea
‘Cause that’s the life
I believe He meant for me
And when I’m go-one
And at my grave you stand
Just say God
Called home
Your ra-amblin’ man

Metal Heart
Losing the star without a sky
Losing the reasons why
You’re losing the calling that you’ve been faking
And i’m not kidding
It’s damned if you don’t and it’s damned if you do
Be true ’cause they’ll lock you up in a sad sad zoo
Oh hidy hidy hidy what cha tryin to prove
By hidy hidy hiding you’re not worth a thing
Sew your fortunes on a string
And hold them up to light
Blue smoke will take
A very violent flight
And you will be changed
Sand everything
And you will be in a very sad sad zoo.
I once was lost but now i’m found was blind
But now I see you
How selfish of you to believe in the meaning of all the bad dreaming
Metal heart you’re not hiding
Metal heart you’re not worth a thing
Metal heart you’re not hiding
Metal heart you’re not worth a thing
