Highwayman

Tässäpä neljän country-mestarin - Willie Nelsonin, Kris Kristodfferssonin, Waylon Jenningsin ja Johnny Cashin biisi "Highwayman" (Bandiitti). Millaisia ajatuksia se teissä herättää?

Verse 1: (Willie Nelson)
I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did ride,
Sword and pistol by my side,
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade,
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade,
The bastards hanged me in the spring of 25,
But I am still alive

Verse 2: (Kris Kristofferson)
I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide,
With the sea I did abide,
I sailed a schooner round the horn of Mexico,
I went aloft and furled the main sail in a blow,
And when the yard broke off they say that I got killed,
But I am living still

Verse 3: (Waylon Jennings)
I was a dam builder, across a river long and wide,
Where steel and water did collide,
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado,
I slipped and fell on the wet concrete below,
They buried me in that gray tomb that knows no sounds,
But I am still around,
I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around, and around

Verse 4: (Johnny Cash)
I'll fly a starship across the universe divide,
And when I reach the other side,
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can,
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again,
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain,
But I will remain,

Outro: And I'll be back again, and again, and again, and again, and again

Hyvä kappale! http://youtube.com/watch?v=uw1bHaUk1CM


Olin kataari, elin rauhassa kera veljien,
Kirkon mielestä harhaoppinen
Oli usko sellainen,
Jossa kehitys on iankaikkinen
Ei saanut veljeys kukoistaa,
Paavin käsky: tappakaa, tuhotkaa.
Periksi antanut en,
Omistin taivaan avaimen,
Hyökkäsimme hurjasti huutaen,
Elänyt sitten enää en,
Mutta omistin taivaan avaimen,
Palaan tänne aina vain,
Kunnes käsky ylhäältä tulee kaiken tehdyks' sain

Äänestä

In a dream it would seem
I went to those who close the open door
Turning the key I sat and spoke to those
inside of me

They answered my questions with questions
And pointed me into the night
Where the moon was a star painted dancer
And the world was just a spectrum of light

They reached to my centre of reason
And pulled on the touchstone that's there
The shock of that light has me reeling
And I fell into the depths of despair

They answered my questions with questions
And set me to stand on the brink
Where the sun and the moon were as brothers
And all that was left was to think

They answered my questions with questions
And pointed me into the night
The power that bore me had left me alone
To figure out which way was right

tämä jälleensyntyminen!

Vahinko, että kaikki ei sitä vielä oikein tajua! :/

Kauniitalaulunsanoja täällä. Tässä kans yksi, joka mielestäni kertoo tarinaa kuolemattomasta sielusta, jota ei tämä kamala maailma voi satuttaa!

Young girl in the market
Music to the men
When the men leave
Her eyes are red
When her eyes are closed again she sees the dark market of above

And she sings
'They say the most horrible things
But I hear violins, when I close my eyes
I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done'

Young boy in the market
Follows all the men
When the men leave
He's out of his head
When his eyes are closed again he sees the dark market of above

And he sings
'They break the most beautiful things
But I hear violins, when I close my eyes
I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done
I look into your eyes
And I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done'

Center of the sun

Young boy in the market
Sees the girl alone
And asks her
'Have you lost your way home?'
She sings
'You say the most beautiful things, just like my violins'

I look into your eyes
I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done

When I close my eyes
I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done

'Cause
I hear violins
I hear violins

I hear violins
I hear violins

Center of the sun
