Don't worry about a thing...

"Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"

Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', "This is my message to you-ou-ou:"

Singin': "Don't worry 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh!
Every little thing gonna be all right. Don't worry!"
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing" - I won't worry!
"'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right" - I won't worry!
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,

Tengo... para ti

Prometo guardarte en el fondo de mi corazón,
prometo acordarme siempre de aquel raro diciembre,
prometo encender en tu día especial una vela
y soplarla por ti...
Prometo no olvidarlo nunca.

Tenia tanto que darte,
tantas cosas que contarte...
Tenia tanto amor,
guardado para ti...

Tenia tanto que darte,
tantas cosas que contarte...
Tenia tanto amor,
guardado para ti...

Camino despacio
pensando volver hacia atrás.
No puedo, en la vida
las cosas suceden no más...
Aún pregunto que parte
de tu destino se quedó conmigo,
pregunto que parte
se quedo por el camino...

Tenia tanto que darte,
tantas cosas que contarte...
Tenia tanto amor,
guardado para ti...

Tenia tanto que darte,
tantas cosas que contarte...
Tenia tanto amor,
guardado para ti...

Tenia tanto que a veces
maldigo mi suerte...
A veces la maldigo
por no seguir contigo...

Tenia tanto que darte,
tantas cosas que contarte...
Tenia tanto amor,
guardado para ti.

Sittin' here in my problem...

Sittin' here in my problem
What am I gonna do now
Am I gonna make it
Someway, somehow

Maybe I'm not supposed to know
Maybe I'm supposed to cry
And if nobody ever knows
The way I feel
It's all right
And it'll be ok

I'm gonna make my world a better place
I'm gonna keep that smile on my face
I'm gonna teach myself how to understand
I'm gonna make myself a better man

Climbing out of the window
Climbing up the wall
Is anybody gonna save me
Or are they gonna let me fall
Well I don't really wanna know
I´ll just hold on the best I can
And if I fall down
I´ll just get back up
It'll be alright
It'll be ok

Maybe I'm not supposed to know
Maybe I'm supposed to cry
And if nobody ever knows
The way I feel
That's all right
It'll be ok

Here they are...

A change is gonna come

I was born by the river in a little tent,
oh just like that river I've been running ever since
It's been a long time coming,
but I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will...

It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
cos I don't know what's out there beyond the sky,
it's been a long, a long time coming,
but I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will...

I go to the movie and I go downtown,
somebody keep telling me don't hang around,
it's been a long, a long time coming,
but I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will...

Then I go to see my brother
and I say "Brother, help me please",
and he just winds up knockin' me
back down on my knees.

Oh, There been times when I thought I couldn't last for long,
but now I think I'm able to carry on,
it's been a long, been a long time coming,
but I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will...
_______________

Sono nato sul fiume in una piccola tenda,
oh, proprio quel fiume che da allora sto percorrendo
ed è passato tanto di quel tempo,
ma so che ci sarà un cambiamento, sì che ci sarà...

La vita è stata durissima, ma ho paura di morire
perché non so che c’è lassù oltre il cielo,
ed è passato tanto, tanto di quel tempo,
ma so che ci sarà un cambiamento, sì che ci sarà...

Vado al cinema e qualche volta in centro,
qualcuno mi dice di non stare a gironzolare,
ed è passato tanto, tanto di quel tempo,
ma so che ci sarà un cambiamento, sì che ci sarà...

Poi vado da mio fratello
e gli dico: "Fratello aiutami, ti prego",
ma lui finisce soltanto
per mettermi ancor più in ginocchio.

Oh, in alcuni momenti ho pensato che non ce l’avrei fatta a lungo,
ma ora penso di poter resistere,
ed è passato tanto, ma tanto di quel tempo,
ma so che ci sarà un cambiamento, sì che ci sarà...

One Love One Heart

One Love, One Heart,
Let's get together and feel all right.
Hear the children crying:
Sayin' - give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right.
Sayin' - let's get together and feel all right.
Let them all pass all their dirty remarks,
There is one question I'd really like to ask:
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner
who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?
Believe me: One Love, One Heart.
Let's get together and feel all right.
As it was in the beginning so shall it be in the end,
give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right.
One more thing:
Let's get together to fight this Holy Armageddon,
so when the Man comes there will be no no Doom.
Have pity on those whose chances grove thinner,
there ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation.
Sayin' One Love, One Heart
Let's get together and feel all right.
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right.
Let's get together and feel all right...

Un solo amore, un solo cuore,
uniamoci e sentiamoci bene.
Qui i bambini stanno piangendo:
Dico - Lodiamo e ringraziamo il Signore e mi sentirò bene.
Dico - Uniamoci e sentiamoci bene.
Lasciamo correre i loro sporchi rilievi,
c'è una sola domanda che davvero vorrei fare:
esiste un posto per il peccatore senza speranza
che ha ferito tutta l'umanità
soltanto per fare il proprio interesse?
Credimi: un solo amore, un solo cuore.
Uniamoci e sentiamoci bene.
Com'è stato in principio così sarà alla fine,
lodiamo e ringraziamo il Signore e mi sentirò bene.
Ancora una cosa:
Uniamoci per combattere questo sacro Armageddon,
così che quando l'uomo verrà non ci sarà alcun Giudizio.
Abbi pietà di coloro che vedono assottigliarsi le loro possibilità,
non vi saranno nascondigli dal Padre del Creato
Dico: un solo amore, un solo cuore.
Uniamoci e sentiamoci bene.
Lodiamo e ringraziamo il Signore e mi sentirò bene.
Uniamoci e sentiamoci bene...

Chandamama chandamama ravaya

Chandamama dur ke, puye pakaayen boor ke
aap khaayen thaali mein, munne ko de pyaali mein
pyaali gayi toot munna gaya rooth
laayenge nayi pyaaliya baja baja ke taaliyaan
munne ko manaayenge ham doodh malaayi khaayenge,

Udankhatole baith ke munna chanda ke ghar jaayega
taaron ke sang aankh michauli khel ke dil behlayega
khel kood se jab mere munne ka dil bhar jaayega
thumak thumak mera munna vaapas ghar ko aayegaa,
chandamama ...

Il testo è una trasliterazione dall'hindi. La canzone è una filastrocca per bambini, usata anche come ninnananna. Chandamamma vuole dire "zio luna" (la luna in lingua hindi è di genere maschile e ai bambini si dice che la luna è come uno zio). La traduzione, per quel po' di hindi che conosco, significa più o meno questo:

Lo zio luna da lontano, sta facendo un dolce con la bianca farina
dolce che lui mangia in un grande piatto,
e offre a un bimbo in una tazza.

La tazza è rotta, lo zio diventa infelice.
Noi troveremo tazze nuove, e continuiamo ad applaudire.
Noi faremo felice il bambino, e mangiamo latte e crema
Chandamama ecc...

PS और जैसा कि Marcos कहता है: मॅँ आशा करता हूं कि को नहीं ने कहा है कि (लिखित) एक grosería… चंद्रमा मेरे लिए एक महिला बना रहता है फिर भी बहुत सुंदर एक हैं.

PS E come direbbe Marcos: spero di non aver detto (scritto) una grosería... La luna per me rimane comunque una bellissima donna. D*

Talkin' about a Revolution

Don't you know,
they're talkin' about a Revolution,
it sounds like whisper...
Don't you know,
they're talkin' about a Revolution,
it sounds like whisper...

While they're standing in the welfare lines,
crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation,
wasting time in the unemployment lines,
sitting around waiting for a promotion...

Poor people gonna rise up
and get their share.
Poor people gonna rise up,
and take what's theirs.

Don't you know,
You better run, run, run...
Oh I said you better
run, run, run...

Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a Revolution
_________

Non lo sai,
stanno parlando di una Rivoluzione,
sembra un sussurro...
Non lo sai,
stanno parlando di una Rivoluzione,
sembra un sussurro...

Mentre fanno la coda per il sussidio,
piangendo alla porta degli eserciti della salvezza,
sprecando tempo agli uffici di collocamento,
aspettando una promozione...

La povera gente si ribellerà
e si prenderà la sua parte.
La povera gente si ribellerà
e si prenderà ciò che le appartiene.

Non lo sai faresti meglio a
correre, correre, correre...
Ho detto che dovresti
correre, correre, correre...

Finalmente la situazione si capovolgerà,
parlando di Rivoluzione...

You've got the good sensation...

Let's don't worry my brother
in this world we are all the same,
we must find peace,
we must find it together,
is not far away from your heart,
you've got the good vibration...

Let your heart follow the rhythm,
when the voice give you emotion,
you have fulfill peace...

When the butterfly dances in the sky,
when you want to sing what you like,
you've got the good sensation...

Lets don't worry my brother,
in this world we are all the same,
we must find peace,
we must find it together,
is not far away from your heart,
you've got the good vibration...

No matter who you are...

This songs says:
Ah, no matter who you are,
no matter where you go in your life
at some point you gonna need
somebody to stand by you.

Oh ya, oh my darling, stand by me.
No matter who you are,
no matter where you go in life,
you gonna need somebody to stand by you.
No matter how much money
you got or friends you got,
you gonna need somebody to stand by you.

When the nigth has come
and the land is dark
and that moon is the only light we'll see,
no, I won’t be afraid , no I won’t shed one tear
just as long you people come and stand by me.

And darlin', darlin' stand by me,
oh now now stand by me
stand by me, stand by me...

If the sky that we look upon
should tumble and fall
and the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear,
just as long as you stand, stand by me...

And darlin', darlin', stand by me,
oh stand by me, stand by me...

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me,
oh now now stand by me, oh stand by me...

Darlin', darlin', stand by mee, stand by me,
oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me...

What we need is Love!

Until the philosophy which holds one race
Superior and another inferior
Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned
Everywhere is war, me say war

That until there is no longer first class
And second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes
Everywhere is war, me say war

That until the basic human rights are equally
Guaranteed to all, without regard to race
Is a war

That until that day
The dream of lasting peace, world citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion
To be pursued, but never attained
Now everywhere is war, war

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
That hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique,
South Africa sub-human bondage
Have been toppled, utterly destroyed
Well, everywhere is war, me say war

War in the east, war in the west
War up north, war down south
War, war, rumours of war

And until that day, the African continent
Will not know peace, we Africans will fight
We find it necessary and we know we shall win
As we are confident in the victory

We don't need no more trouble;
What we need is love, now. What we need is love!
We don't need, Oh, we don't need no more trouble!
We don't need, no - we don't need no more trouble!
We don't need - no, brothers and sisters ... No more trouble!

We don't need no trouble; we don't need no trouble!
We don't need no trouble!
What we need is love!
