En algun lugar - Ducan Dhu

En algun lugar de un gran pais
Olvidaron construir
Un hogar donde no queme el sol
Y al nacer no haya que morir…
Y en las sombras
Mueren genios sin saber
De su magia
Concedida, sin pedirlo
Mucho tiempo antes de nacer.

No hay camino que
Llegue hasta aqui
Y luego prentenda salir.
Con el fuego de
El atardecer arde la hierba

En algun lugar de un gran pais
Olvidaron construir
Un hogar donde no queme el sol
Y al nacer no haya que morir…
Un silbido cruza el pueblo
Y se ve, un jinete
Que se marcha con el viento
Mientras grita
Que no va a volver

Y la tierra aqui
Es de otro color
El polvo lo debe saber
Los hombres ya no
Saben si lo son
Pero lo quieren creer
Las madres que ya
No saben llorar
Ven a sus hijos partir
La tristeza aqui
No tiene lugar
Cuando lo triste es vivir.

Wild World - Cat Stevens

Now that i've lost everything to you,
you say you want to start something new,
and it's breaking my heart you're leaving,
baby i'm grieving.
But if you wanna leave take good care,
hope you have a lot of nice things to wear,
but then a lot of nice things turn bad out there.
Oh baby baby it's a wild world,
it's hard to get by just upon a smile.
oh baby baby it's a wild world.
I'll always remember you like a child, girl.
you know i've seen a lot of what the world can do,
and it's breaking my heart in two,
cause i never want to see you sad girl,
don't be a bad girl,
but if you want to leave take good care,
hope you make a lot of nice friends out there,
but just remember there's a lot of bad and beware,
beware,
Oh baby baby it's a wild world,
it's hard to get by just upon a smile
oh baby baby it's a wild world,
and i'll always remember you like a child, girl.
Baby i love you, but if you wanna leave take good care,
hope you make a lot of nice friends out there,
but just remember there's a lot of bad,
and beware, beware,
Oh baby baby it's a wild world,
it's hard to get by just upon a smile.
oh baby baby it's a wild world,
and i'll always remember you like a child, girl.

Fast Car Tracy Chapman

you got a fast car
i want a ticket to anywhere
maybe we make a deal
maybe together
we can get somewhere
anyplace is better
starting from zero
got nothing to lose
maybe we'll make something
but me myself I got nothing to prove

you got a fast car
and I got a plan
to get us out of here
i've been working at the convenience store
managed to save just a little bit of money
we won't have to drive too far
just 'cross the border and into the city
you and I can both get jobs
and finally see what it means to be living
you see my old man's got a problem
he lives with the bottle
that's the way it is
he says his body's too old for working
i say his body's too young to look like his
my mama went off and left him
she wanted more from life than he could give
i said somebody's got to take care of him
so I quit school and that's what I did

you got a fast car
but is it fast enough
so we can fly away
we gotta make a decision
we leave tonight
or live and die this way
i remember we were driving
driving in your car
the speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
city lights lay out before us
and your arm felt nice
wrapped 'round my shoulder
and I had a feeling that I belonged
and I had feeling I could be someone,
be someone, be someone

you got a fast car
and we go cruising to entertain ourselves
you still ain't got a job
and I work in a market as a checkout girl
i know things will get better
you'll find work and I'll get promoted
we'll move out of the shelter
buy a big house and live in the suburbs

you got a fast car
and I got a job that pays all our bills
you stay out drinking late at the bar
see more of your friends than you do of your kids
i'd always hoped for better
thought maybe together you and me would find it
i got no plans
i ain't going nowhere
so take your fast car
and keep on driving

you got a fast car
but is it fast enough
so you can fly away
you gotta make a decision
you leave tonight or live and die this way

Hotel california-Eagles

On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
The warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And i was thinking to myself
This could be heaven or this could be hell
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought i heard them say

Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
There's plenty of room at the hotel california
Any time of year, you can find it here

Her mind is definitely twisted
She's got her mercedes benz
She's got a lotta pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget

So i called up the captain
Please bring me my wine
He said we haven't had that spirit here since 1969
And still those voices they're calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say

Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
They're livin' it up at the hotel california
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceilling, the pink champaign on ice
And she said we are all just prisoners here of our own device
In the masters chambers they're gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knifes but they just can't kill the beast

Last thing i remember, i was runnin' for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place i was before
good night said the night man we are programmed to receive
You can check out anyytime you like, but you can never leave
