SU-LA LUA DA LOISEANA

Ainda há que beber muito uisque ...



30 miles on the Gulf Stream
I hear the south wind moan
The bridges getting lower
The shrimp boats coming home
The old man down in the Quarter
Slowly turns his head
Takes a sip from his whiskey bottle
And this is what he said
I was born in the rain
On the Pontchartrain
Underneath the Louisiana moon
I don't mind the strain
Of a hurricane
They come around every June
The high black water
A devil's daughter
She's hard, she's cold, and she's mean
But nobody taught her
It takes a lot of water
To wash away New Orleans
Man came down from Chicago
He gonna set that levee right
He said, it needs to be at least three feet higher
It won't make it through the night
But the old man down in the Quarter
He said, don't you listen to that boy
The water'll be down by the morning
And he'll be back to Illinois
I was born in the rain
On the Pontchartrain
Underneath the Louisiana moon
I don't mind the strain
Of a hurricane
They come around every June
The high black water
A devil's daughter
She's hard, she's cold, and she's mean
But nobody taught her
It takes a lot of water
To wash away New Orleans
30 miles on the Gulf Stream
I hear the south wind moan
The bridges getting lower
The shrimp boats coming home
The old man down in the Quarter
Slowly turns his head
Takes a sip from his whiskey bottle
And this is what he said
I was born in the rain
On the Pontchartrain
Underneath the Louisiana moon
I don't mind the strain
Of a hurricane
They come around every June
The high black water
A devil's daughter
She's hard, she's cold, and she's mean
But nobody taught her
It takes a lot of water
To wash away New Orleans
I was born in the rain
On the Pontchartrain
Underneath the Louisiana moon
I don't mind the strain
Of a hurricane
They come around every June
The high black water
A devil's daughter
She's hard, she's cold, and she's mean
But nobody taught her
It takes a lot of water
To wash away New Orleans
Nobody taught her
It takes a lot of water
To wash away New Orleans, yeah

HOME DE CONSTANTE TRISTEZA



I am a man of constant sorrow,

I've seen trouble all my days.

I bid farewell to old Kentucky,

The place where I was born and raised

The place where he was born and raised!

For six long years,

I've been in trouble

No pleasure here,

On earth I've found

For in this world

I'm bound to ramble

I have no friends to help me now

You can bury me in some deep Valley,

For many years, there I may lay.

Then you may learn to love another

While I am sleeping in my grave

While he is sleeping in my grave!

Maybe your friends think

I'm just a stranger

My face you'll never see no more

But, there is one promise that is given,

I'll meet you on God's golden shore.

He'll meet you on God's golden shore!

TWO METRES TWO MUCH




Hai que manter as distâncias
deixar-se de promiscuidades
e arregaçar as mangas

E sobretudo, que nom se toquem
entre elas
as crianças

Filhos da puta

COM DEUS ME DEITO, COM DEUS ME LEVANTO

Com deus me deito, com deus me levanto
comigo eu calo, comigo eu canto
e bato um papo, e bato um ponto
e tomo um drinke e fico tonto

QUATRO CARROUCHOS


Quatro caminhos
quatro jeitos de faguere
cada quem o seu latim
(quatro flous, meu irmão)

Um mesmo destino
pois que a luz somos todos.

(Desço pola rua
pra ir trabalhar ... )

RESPIRA

(Respira quanda mim)
Vem e apreixa
óu, vem jogar c’a minha ixola
cascuda, buraco, lagarto baldreu ...

VEM JOOOOGAR MEEEEU

MOURÉM, MOURÉM, MOURÉM
(caíche no ichó!)



BREATHE

Breathe with me
Breathe the pressure
Come play my game, I'll test ya
Psychosomatic, addict, insane
Breathe the pressure
Come play my game, I'll test ya
Psychosomatic, addict, insane
Come play my game
Inhale, inhale, you're the victim
Come play my game
Exhale, exhale, exhale
