Mentiras 05:15
MENTIRAS Cuando era joven, mi padre me dijo Confía en las noticias y en el gobierno Confía en la maestra, confía en el juez Pero esto no es lo que vine a creer después Todos deben de confiar en una cosa Buscando la autoridad aqui y alla Si escuchas a la voz con la mas fuerza Encontrarás que adentro, hablando todo el tiempo Si sabemos la verdad, venceremos mentiras Algunos buscan dinero, algunos la felicidad Mientras otros sólo buscan para vivir la capacidad No confíes en las mentiras que dicen quien eres Recuerda lo que sabes desde un tiempo más antes Todos deben de confiar en una cosa Buscando la autoridad aqui y alla Si escuchas a la voz con la mas fuerza Encontrarás que adentro, hablando todo el tiempo Si sabemos la verdad, venceremos mentiras Porque sabemos la verdad, venceremos mentiras. Hush my little darling, don’t you say a word I’m here to protect you from the lies I know you’ve heard There are many others who would fill your heart with fear But I’ve a message for you and it’s time that you should hear Sigue la passion de tu corazón adelante hasta la realización Yo se que ya viene el futuro mejor cuando la gente escucha a la voz interior Todos juntos como estamos aqui, yo recuerdo el momento y yo se lo que vi Lleno de mentiras, el mundo de hoy, pero somos vecinos, el mensaje que les doy Si sabemos la verdad, venceremos mentiras Porque sabemos la verdad, venceremos mentiras. MENTIRAS (ENGLISH TRANSLATION) When I was young, my father told me Trust the new and the government Trust the teacher, trust the judge But this is not what I came to believe later Everyone needs to trust something Looking for authority here and there If you listen to the strongest voice You’ll find it inside of you, saying all the while If we know the truth, we will overcome the lies. Some look for money, others happiness, While some just look for the ability to live. Don’t trust the lies that tell you who you are Remember what you know from an earlier time If we know the truth, we will overcome the lies. Because we know the truth, we will overcome the lies. Hush my little darling, don’t you say a word I’m here to protect you from the lies I know you’ve heard There are many others who would fill your heart with fear But I’ve a message for you and it’s time that you should hear Follow the passion of your heart, forward until its realization I the better future is coming , when people listen to the primordial voice Everyone together, like we are together now, I remember the moment, I know what I saw The world today is full of lies, but we are all neighbors, that is the message I give you. If we know the truth, we will overcome the lies. Because we know the truth, we will overcome the lies.

Hey there mister can I beg for your attention For it’s been some time since my gate began to slow You know I’ve spent my whole life travelin’ Can you help me with these last six feet to go? I was born in a mill in old New England Where the textiles like the rocky river flow Well the mill shut down and my feet took to wandering Now there ain’t no place in this land that I don’t know. I jumped a train and landed in New Orleans Where I knew a girl whose husband didn’t know Well he came home and that night I took to runnin’ Whether he lived or died I do not know. That night I shared a campfire with the Devil When my only choice was to freeze out in the cold But I tell you I’d no need to fear the Devil For he’d already had his fill of wayward souls. Or I could tell you of the time I wrestled angels Lord I held so hard my arms would not let go But in the morning light I could see it was no angel Just another beggar with his tales of grief and woe. So let me rest my feet right where I’m layin’ For I must have walked a million miles or more These grass and weeds will be my final pillow If you help me with these last 6 feet to go. Yes, hey there mister can I beg for your attention For it’s been some time since my gate began to slow You know I’ve spent my whole life travelin’ Will you help me with these last six feet to go?

What I Do 05:36
Oo, I’ve been waiting on your bed You just stepped out for a minute, or so you said You’ve got the candels burning low And my anticipation is starting to show I only know that there’s one thing That I’ve had on my mind since dinner, baby I cannot wait too much longer, baby Before I get up and go check where you are. And it’s getting stronger now, I can’t wait much longer now I’ve got this feeling from my head down to my toes. You’ve got me going now Let me show you how I love to do what I do. Oo, Baby, I’ve been lying here along for too long I’m starting to see things in the cracks of your ceiling There’s a bunny in a hat. You’ve got me going now Let me show you how I love to do what I do. Won’t you come on back? Won’t you come on back? Won’t you come on back? Before I help myself. I don’t understand how you could take me home Then leave me on the shelf. You’ve got me going now Let me show you how I love to do what I do.

Dere Geliyor 05:04
Amanin aman aman (Oh, Mercy!) Zamanin zaman zaman (Oh, Time!) Bizim dugune zaman yalelellim (When will our wedding be?) Dere geliyor dere, yalelel yalelel (The river is flowing) Kumunu seresere, yalelellim. (Spreading sand) Al bene gotur dere, yalelel yalelel (Oh river take me with you) Yarin oldugu yere, yalelellim. (To where my beloved is) Cayir ince bicilmez, yalelel yalelel (The field cannot be harvested young) Su bulanik icilmez, yalelellim. (Dishwater cannot be drunk) Bana yardan gec derler, yalelel yalelel (They say to me surpass insult and injury) Yar tatlidir gecilmez, yalelellim. (But injury does not pass sweetly) Su gelir millendirir, yalelel yalelel (Water comes and connects) Cayiri cimlendirir, yalelellim. (And makes the fields sprout) O senin guzel gozun, yalelel yalelel (Just as your beautiful eyes) Ahrazi dillendirir, yalelellim. (Make the mute to speak)

Baby. Tell what you’ve done I heard your voice on the phone, made me drop everything and come. You’ve got me. Why did you need me here? There’s so much I could say, but my words don’t get to your ear. Are you thinkin’ ‘bout the past? Did somebody bring you back? Did someone try to fuck with you? Can you tell me what went on? Or are you already gone? I gotta know what you want to do. I’m watching you slip away, and I See a veil cross your face I let you in this far ‘case you know It’s nothing you can’t change. You’re watching me move in waves I can’t reach you in this place I let you in this far, but you know You’ve gotta find another thing for pain Baby. Listen to a friend. ‘Cause that shit that you take, it ain’t no medicine. You’ve got me. Tell me what is wrong. You’ve got all I can give, but not if this shit keeps going on. Now I don’t care if it was free, or who was at the last party ‘Cause now I see how your story ends. Am I wasting both our time, you gotta want the help you find Why’d you call me over again. I’m watching you slip away, and I See a veil cross your face I let you in this far ‘cause you know It’s nothing you can’t change, and You’re watching me move in waves, Why’d you go back to that place? I let you in this far, but you know You’ve gotta find another thing for pain.

I wake up every morning to see your face is something dreams cannot replace The vision of lying with you here in a perfect world I watch you wake with a flutter in your eyes, your lips are dry but I don’t mind. I hold your hand and we’re in a perfect world. I turn my head and kiss your hair smells like a breeze of summer air Who cares if we lay like this forever, we’re in a perfect world So baby, baby don’t rise too soon, there’s nothing outside of our bedroom Just you and me lying here in a perfect world.
