ayer conoci un cielo sin sol
y un hombre sin suelo
un santo en prision
y una cancion triste sin dueno

ya he ya he ya la he
y conoci tus ojos negros
ya he ya he ya la he
y ahora si que no
puedo vivir sin ellos yo

le pido al cielo solo un deseo
que en tus ojos yo pueda vivir
he recorrido ya el mundo entero
y una cosa te vengo a decir
viaje de Bahrein hasta Beirut
fui desde el Norte hasta el polo sur
y no encontre ojos asi
como los que tienes tu

rabboussamai fikarrajaii
fi ainaiha aralhayati
ati ilaika min haza lkaaouni
arjouka labbi labbi nidai
viaje de Bahrein hasta Beirut
fui desde el Norte hasta el polo sur
y no encontre ojos asi
como los que tienes tu

ayer vi pasar una mujer
debajo de su camello
un rio de sal un barco
abandonado en el desierto

ya he ya he ya la he
y vi pasar tus ojos negros
ya he ya he ya la he
y ahora si que no
puedo vivir sin ellos yo

le pido al cielo solo un deseo
que en tus ojos yo pueda vivir
he recorrido ya el mundo entero
y una cosa te vengo a decir
viaje de Bahrein hasta Beirut
fui desde el Norte hasta el polo sur
y no encontre ojos asi
como los que tienes tu

le pido al cielo solo un deseo
que en tus ojos yo pueda vivir
he recorrido ya el mundo entero
y una cosa te vengo a decir
viaje de Bahrein hasta Beirut
fui desde el Norte hasta el polo sur
y no encontre ojos asi
como los que tienes tu

No, no intentes disculparte
No juegues a insistir
Las excusas ya existían antes de ti

No, no me mires como antes
No hables en plural
La retórica es tu arma más letal

Voy a pedirte que no vuelvas más
Siento que me duelas todavía aquí
Adentro

Y que a tu edad sepas bien lo que es
Romperle el corazón a alguien así

No se puede vivir con tanto veneno,
La esperanza que me dio tu amor
No me la dio más nadie,
Te juro, no miento

No se puede vivir con tanto veneno
No se puede dedicar el alma
A acumular intentos
Pesa más la rabia que el cemento

Espero que no esperes que te espere
Después de mis 26
La paciencia se me ha ido hasta los pies

Y voy deshojando margaritas
Y mirando sin mirar
Para ver si así, te irritas y te vas

Voy a pedirte que no vuelvas más
Siento que me duelas todavía aquí
Adentro

Y que a tu edad sepas bien lo que es
Romperle el corazón a alguien así

No se puede vivir con tanto veneno
La esperanza que me dio tu amor
No me la dio más nadie
Te juro, no miento

No se puede morir con tanto veneno
No se puede dedicar el alma
A acumular intentos
Pesa más la rabia que el cemento

So I find a reason to shave my legs
Each single morning
So I count on someone on
Friday nights to take me dancing
And then to church on Sundays
To plant more dreams
And someday think of kids
Or maybe just to save a little money

[Chorus:]
You’re the one I need
The way back home is always long
But if you’re close to me I’m holding on
You’re the one I need
My real life has just begun
Cause there’s nothing like your smile made of sun

In the world full of strangers
You’re the one I know

So I learned to cook
and finally lose my kitchen phobia
So I’ve got the arms to cuddle in
When there’s a ghost or a muse
That brings insomnia
To buy more thongs
And write more happy songs
It always takes a little help from someone

You’re the one I need
You’re the one I need
With you my real life has just begun

You’re the one I need
You’re the one I need

Nothing like your smile made of sun

Nothing like your love
Nothing like your love
Nothing like your love

“It ain’t my fault
It’s 6 ‘o’clock in the morning”
He said
As he came up out of the night

When he found I had no coins to bum,
He began to testify
Born in a depression
Born out of good luck
Born into misery
- In the back of a truck..

I’m telling you this mister
Don’t be put off by looks
I been in the ring and I took those right hooks

Oh the loneliness
Used to knock me out - harder than the rest

And I’ve worked for breakfast
‘N I ain’t had no lunch
I been on delivery and received every punch

Suddenly I noticed that it weren’t quite the same
Feel different one morning maybe it was the rain

But everywhere I looked all over the city
They’re runnin’ in an out of the bars
Someone stopped for a pick-up driving one of those cars
Y’see I allways wanted one of those cars
Long black ‘n shiny an’ pull up to the bars
Honk your horn, put down your windows, push yer button,
Hear it coming in
You can say I can see the light… roll!
Forward! Drive! Green lights! Green lights!
Intersection city coming a running comeback home I run back
Not that strong now
Yes who’s there now, can I help you? Calling Intel station light

Did you put your money in? Yes I put it in
It say go, I say go, she say go, so we say go
Cos I can see the light all night tonight this night right now
Coming on forward motion across the ocean
An’ up the hills yeh boys let’s strike for the hills
While that petrol tank is full
Gimme a push gimme a pull
Gimme a llama gimme a mule
Gimme a donkey or gimme a horse

Down the avenue
So fine
In style

I get violent when I’m fucked up
I get silent when I’m drugged up
Want excitement, don’t get none, I go wild

I don’t know what can be done about it
If you play the game you get nothing out of it
Find out for yourself try bein’ a goody goody

You better cheat cheat
No reason to play fair
Cheat cheat or don’t get anywhere
Cheat cheat if you can’t win

Nobody knows what they are doing
It’s beyond your control, an’ friday night’s a ruin
If you wanna survive you better learn how to lie

Don’t use the rules
They’re not for you, they’re for the fools
And you’re a fool if you don’t know that
So use the rule you stupid fool

There is a train at Version City
Waiting for the rhythm mail
If you can jump then jump right now
She can pull you through to better days

Is that the train that the speak off
The one I heard in my younger days
All great bluesmen have rode her
I’m jumping up gonna ride that train

There’s a lonely soul out on the crossroads
He’s waiting there in the pouring rain
He’s looking for that great ride yeh
That’ll take him to oh what’s her name

So I rode that train from Version City
For ninety-nine an’ one half days
Never heard such rhythm sound
It was in my soul which was on the train

We went straight through Syndrum Inc.
Up an’ over the Acapella Pass
Then Gibson Town and Fenderville
All stations to the Mesa Boogie Ranch
We saw that soul out on the cross roads
Waitin’ there in the pouring rain
We called hey engine slow your rhythms
See he wants to ride the version train

We rode that train from Version City
For ninety-nine and one half years
I never seen such funky country
While riding with the engineers

Could not fill no application
Before I rode this rhythm train
Could not work at my station
Before I rode the version train

There is a train at Version City
Waiting for the rhythm mail
If you can jump then jump right now
She can pull you through to better days

 The memories of a man in his old age
Are the deeds of a man in his prime.
You suffle in gloom in the sickroom
And talk to yourself till you die.
Life is a short, warm moment
And death is a long cold rest.
You get your chance to try
In the twinkling of an eye:
Eighty years, with luck, or even less.
So all aboard for the American tour,
And maybe you’ll make it to the top.
And mind how you go.
I can tell you, because I know.
You may find it hard to get off.
You are the angel of death
And I am the dead man’s son.
And he died like a mole in a fox hole.
And everyone is still in the run.
And who is the master of fox hounds?
And who says the hunt has begun?
And who calls the tune in the courtroom?
And who beats the funeral drum?
The memories of a man in his old age
Are the deeds of a man in his prime.
You suffle in gloom in the sickroom
And talk to yourself till you die.

Stay and help me to end the day.
And of you don’t mind,
We’ll break a bottle of wine.
Stick around and maybe we’ll put one down,
Because I wanna find what lies behind those eyes.
Midnight blue burning gold.
A yellow moon is growing cold.
I rise, looking through my morning eyes,
Surprised to find you by my side.
Rack my brain to try to remember your name
To find the words to tell you goodbye.
Morning dues.
Newborn day.
Midnight blue turn to gray.
Midnight blue burning gold.
A yellow moon is growing cold.

I am a little bit of loneliness a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can’t help the fact that everyone can see
these scars
I am what I want you to want what I want you to feel
But it’s like no matter what I do, I can’t convince you, to just believe
this is real
So I let go, watching you, turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I’m not
But I’ll be here ’cause you’re all that I got

(I can’t feel the way I did before)
(Don’t turn your back on me)
(I won’t be ignored)
(Time won’t heal this damage anymore)
(Don’t turn your back on me)
(I won’t be ignored)

I am a little bit insecure a little unconfident
Cause you don’t understand I do what I can but sometimes I don’t make
sense
I am what you never wanna say but I’ve never had a doubt
It’s like no matter what I do I can’t convince you for once just to hear
me out
So I let go watching you turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I’m not
But I’ll be here ’cause you’re all that I’ve got

(I can’t feel the way I did before)
(Don’t turn your back on me)
(I won’t be ignored)
(Time won’t heal this damage anymore)
(Don’t turn your back on me)
(I won’t be ignored)

(No)
(Hear me out now)
(You’re gonna listen to me, like it or not)
(Right now)
(Hear me out now)
(You’re gonna listen to me, like it or not)
(Right now)

(I can’t feel the way I did before)
(Don’t turn your back on me)
(I won’t be ignored)

(I can’t feel the way I did before)
(Don’t turn your back on me)
(I won’t be ignored)
(Time won’t heal this damage anymore)
(Don’t turn your back on me)
(I won’t be ignored)

I can’t feel
Don’t turn your back on me
I won’t be ignored
Time won’t heal
Don’t turn your back on me
I won’t be ignored
