Nina Simone все тексты (слова) песен, переводы, видео, клипы

Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Reeds driftin’ on by you know how I feel

It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life

There is no our children in the air
Men and women have lost there hair
Ashes and faces and legs that stand
Ghost and god blends work in this land
When tomorrow becomes yesterday
And tomorrow becomes eternity
When the soul with the soul goes away beyond
When life is taken and there are no more babies born

I live alone.
That hasn't always been easy to do.
But just a single woman;
Some times as night the walls talk back to me.
They seem to say

I ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes
Ain't got no money, ain't got no class
Ain't got no skirts, ain't got no sweater
Ain't got no bed, ain't got no pain
Ain't got no mind

Ain't got no mother, ain't got no culture
Ain't got no friends, ain't got no schooling

Нет дома, нет обуви
Нет денег, нет статуса
Нет юбки, нет свитера
Нет веры, нет степенности
Нет ума

Нет матери, нет культуры
Нет друзей, нет образования

I ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes
Ain't got no money, ain't got no class
Ain't got no skirts, ain't got no sweater
Ain't got no perfume, ain't got no beer
Ain't got no man

Ain't got no mother, ain't got no culture
Ain't got no friends, ain't got no schooling

I ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes
Ain't got no money, Ain't got no class
Ain't got no skirts, Ain't got no sweater
Ain't got no perfume Ain't got no bed
Ain't got no mind,

Ain't got no mother Ain't got no culture
Ain't got no friends, aint got no schoolin'

Ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes
Ain't got no money, ain't got no class
Ain't got no skirts, ain't got no sweater
Ain't got no perfume, ain't got no bed
Ain't got no mind

Ain't got no mother, ain't got no culture
Ain't got no friends, ain't got no schooling

Ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes
Ain't got no money, ain't got no class
Ain't got no friends, ain't got no schoolin'
Ain't got no wear, ain't got no job
Ain't got no man

Ain't got no father, ain't got no mother
Ain't got no children, ain't got no

There’ll be no strings to bind your hands
Not if my love can find your heart
And there’s no need to take a stand
For it was I who choose to start
I see no need to take me home
I’m old enough to face the dawn

Just call me angel of the morning, angel

Old people talk to themselves
When they sit all ’round all day
This old woman I knew
I used to go over there and sit with her
And she’d be sitting around
In a rocking chair talking to herself

And she used to say she used to say

Baby you understand me now
If sometimes you see I'm mad
Don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong you see some bad

Well I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Beat-up little seagull
On a marble stair
Tryin' to find the ocean
Lookin' everywhere

Hard times in the city
In a hard town by the sea
Ain't nowhere to run to

Be my husband man I'll be your wife
Be my husband man I'll be your wife
Be my husband man I'll be your wife
Loving all of you the rest of your life yeah

If you promise me you'll be my man
If you promise me you'll be my man
If you promise me you'll be my man

Red is the color of a lot of lollipops,
Orange is any orange on a tree.
Yellow's the color of a bag of lemon drops,
Green is a piece of seaweed in the sea.

Blue is the color of the sky in summertime
Indigo is a Siamese cat's eyes.
Violet's the color of a flow'r in wintertime.

Black is the color of my true loves hair
His face so soft and wondrous fair
The purest eyes
And the strongest hands
I love the ground on where he stands
I love the ground on where he stands

Black is the color of my true loves hair

Black is the color of my true love's hair
His face so soft and wondrous fair
The purest eyes
and the strongest hands
I love the ground on where he stands
I love the ground on where he stands

Black is the color of my true love's hair

Herbert Sacker, Nina Simone
Why you want to fly Blackbird you ain't ever gonna fly
No place bif enough for holding all the tears you're gonna cry
'cause your mama's name was lonely and your daddy's name was pain
And they call you little sorrow 'cause you'll never love again
So why you want to fly Blackbird you ain't ever gonna fly
You ain't got no one to hold you you ain't got no one to care
If you'd only understand dear nobody wants you anywhere

Langston Hughes, Nina Simone

Mr. Backlash, Mr. Backlash
Just who do think I am
You raise my taxes, freeze my wages
And send my son to Vietnam

You give me second class houses

Let me cry, let me sigh
When I'm blue
Let me go way from this lonely town

Won't be long for my song
Will be thru
Cause I know I'm on my last go-round

Hey Lordy mama
I heard you wasn't feeling' good
They're spreadin' dirty rumors
All around the neighborhood
They say you're mean and evil
And don't know what to do
That's the reason that he's gone
And left you black and blue

Break down and let it all out
Break down and let it all out

I've held back my tears
Just as long as I could
But now my eyes can see
It's all over for you and me
And holding back ain't gonna do no good

Arrested on charges of unemployment
He was sittin in the witness stand
The judge's wife called up the district attorney
To say "free that brown eyed man"
If you want your job you'd better free that brown eyed man.

Flyn' across the desert in the TWA
I saw a woman walking across the sand

Won't you to be my chauffeur be my chauffeur
Won't you to ride me
Won't you to ride me downtown oh yeah
Well you ride so easy
Big mama just can't turn you down

Yeah, yeah

Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could
Mold you into someone who could
Cherish me as much as I cherish you

Children go where I send you,
How shall I send you?
I'm gonna send you one by one,
One for the little biddy baby, was born, born, born in bethlehem.

Children go where I send you,
How shall I send you?
I'm gonna send you two by two,

Going where the willows weep no more, darlin' baby
Going where the willows weep no more
Chilly winds don't blow along my shore, oh baby
Where the chilly winds, the chilly winds don't blow

Going where my father waits for me, oh baby
Going where my father waits for me
Going there 'cause there I'd rather be, oh baby

Now every woman is entitled to one mistake
The Lord knows I've made one
But baby forgive me half a chance
I wanna make it up to you

Come on back Jack hey Jack come on come on back
Come on back Jack hey Jack come on come on back
Who's calling me oh who's calling me

Бывает любовь к женщине, или к Родине,
а бывает любовь к Нему...

И тогда звучит госпел.

And now we are one
Let my soul rest in peace
At last it is done

Do I move you, are you willin'
Do I groove you, is it thrillin'
Do I soothe you, tell the truth now
Do I move you, are you loose now
The answer better be (Yes, yes)
It pleases me

Are you ready for this action

Hush now, don't explain
There ain't nothin' to gain
I'm glad that you're back
don't explain

Quiet baby, don't explain
there is nothing to gain.
Skip back the lipstick

Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
But don't you know that no one alive
Can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be bad?

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.

Baby, you understand me now?
If sometimes you see that I'm mad
Don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong, you see some bad
But oh, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
You know sometimes, baby I'm so carefree
Oh, with a joy that's hard to hide

Baby, you understand me now?
If sometimes you see that I'm mad
Don'tcha know that no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong, you see some bad

But oh, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Willard Robison

I left a note on his dresser
And my old wedding ring
With these few goodbye words
How can I sing
Goodbye old sleepy head
I'm packing you in like I said

Don't take all night
To tell me that you love me
Don't take all night to tell me you care

Don't you know I have the right
To know if you want me tell me now
Take my love forever to share

People laugh each time they see us walking by and their whispering just make
You feel like you wanna cry. Keep on walking by my side don't look behind. You
Know I love you, so don't you pay em' no mind.

People say our love ain't gonna last too long. And they point at us, just like
We've been only carry on, keep on looking in my eyes and we'll be fine. You see
I love you, so don't you pay em' no mind.

Hush now, don't explain
There aint nothin' to gain
Im glad that your back
dont' explain

Quiet baby, dont explain
there is nothing to gain.
Skip back the lipstick

Baby you understand me now
If sometimes you see that I'm mad
Don't cha know no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong you see some bad

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I stay, I know I'm that I'ma share your love and that I couldn't take. And
if I go, we'll be apart and I know my heart would surely break. So, what
difference does it make, which one I choose? Either way I lose.

Though I know, my love is true. I'd die if you ever told me good-bye. Ever told
me good-bye. And I know, she loves you too. She would do, the same as I. What
difference does it make, which one I choose? Either way I lose. Either way I
lose. EIther way I lose.

This is the end of the line
I've clearly read every sign
The way you glance at me indifferently
And take your hand from mine

This is the end of the line
How can I ever define
How helpless I've become

Lyrics in hebrew:

ארץ זבת חלב
חלב ודבש

ארץ זבת החלב
זבת החלב ודבש

I know why I waited
Know why I've been blue
I've been waiting each day
For someone exactly like you
Why should I spend some money
On a show or two
When nobody sings those love songs
Exactly like you

Sammy Lerner, Frederick Hollander
Falling in love again i never wanted to
What am i to do i can't help it
Love has always been my game play it how i may
I was made that way i can't help it

Men cluster to me like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn i know I'm not to blame

Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Reeds driftin’ on by you know how I feel

It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life
For me

Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Reeds driftin' on by you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me and I'm feeling good

My man he don't love me he treats me oh so mean
My man he don't love me he treats me oh so mean
He's the meanest man that I've ever see

My baby wears high peg pants stripes are really yellow
Baby wears high peg pants stripes area really yellow
When he starts into love me he's so fine and mellow

A bird fell to earth, reincarnated from her birth.
She had fodder in her wings.
She had dust inside her brains.
She flitted here and there United States, Switzerland, France, England, everywhere.

With fodder in her wings.
And dust inside her brains.
Oh how sad. Oh how sad. Oh how sad.

Lost in day to day,
Turned another way
With a laugh, a kind hello
And some small talk with friends
I know
I forget that I'm not over you for a while.

A wave, an easy grin,

For all we know
We may never meet again
Before we go
Make this moment live again
We won't say goodbye
Until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand
And my heart will be in it

Eve and Adam had a garden everything was great
Till one day a boy says pardon Miss my name is snake
See that apple over yonder if you'll take a bite
You and Adam both are bound to have some fun tonight
Go on and eat forbidden fruit
It's mighty sweet forbidden fruit
It's quite a treat forbidden fruit
Go ahead and taste it you don't wanna waste it

My skin is black
My arms are long
My hair is wooly
My back is strong
Strong enough to take the pain
Its been inflicted again and again
What do they call me
My name is aunt sarah

You're nothing but a dirty, dirty old man
You do your thinking with a one track mind
Keep talkin' about heaven glory but
On your face is a different story
Clean up your rap your story's getting dusty
Wash out your mouth
Your lies are getting rusty
Can't believe nothing you say

Up in Harlem on a Saturday night
Were the highbrows get together, it's just to tight
We all gather at the Harlem Strut
And what we do is tut tut tut

Ol' Hannah Brown, from way cross town
Keeps drinking her liquor and she brings them down
Just at the break of day

Stay away from me cos I'm in my sin
Stay away from me everybody cos I'm in my sin
If this joint is raided somebody give my gin
Don't try me nobody cos you will never win
Mm yeah don't try me nobody cos you will never win
I'll fight the army and navy somebody gives me my gin

When I'm feeling high I don't have nothing to do

Oh Daughter, dear Daughter,
Take warning from me
And don't you go marching
With the N-A-A-C-P.

For they'll rock you and roll you
And shove you into bed.
And if they steal your nuclear secret

Now if your mind lies in the Devil's workshop
And evil duens your thrill
And trouble and mischief is all you live for
You know darn well
That you'll go to hell

So you're living high and mighty
Rich off the fat of the land

Oh stairs, you look so high tonight
Climbin' up with all my might
Where I got no heart to be
'Cause he ain't comin' home no more

Oh room, I'm all alone with you
Tell me what's a women to do
When her man is gone

He needs me
He doesn't know it, but he needs me
And so no matter where he goes
Though he doesn't care
He knows that I'm there

He needs me
I ought to leave him, but he needs me

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun, and I say its all right

Little darling, its been a long cold lonely winter little darling, it feels like years since its been here here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say its all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces little darling, it seems like years since its been here here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say its all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

There is a house in New Orleans
They call it the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And me, oh God, I'm one

If I had only listened of what my mama said
I'd be at home today
But bein' so young and foolish, my Lord

I who never had much
I now have a treasure
A love too great to measure
I am blessed with happiness
And I'm done with loneliness

I who walked all alone not really knowing
'Til now just where I was going

(1941) Paul Francis Webster, Duke Ellington

My baby ever treats me sweet and gentle the way he should;
I got it bad and that ain't good!

My poor heart is sentimental not made of wood
I got it bad and that ain't good!
But when the weekend's over and Monday rolls aroun'

I hold no grudge
There’s no resentment und’neath
I’ll extend the laurel wreath and we’ll be friends
But right there is where it ends

I hold no grudge
And I’ll forgive you your mistake
But forgive me if I take it all to heart

I like the sunrise cos it brings a new day
I like the new day it brings new hope they say
I like the sunrise blazing in the new sky
Nighttime's so weary and oh so am I

Every evening I wish upon a star
That my brand new tomorrow isn't very far
When that heavy blue curtain on night

I loves you, Porgy
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me and drive me mad
If you can keep me
I wanna stay here with you forever and I'll be glad
Yes, I loves you, Porgy
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me with his hot hands

(1935) Ira Gershwin, DuBose Heyward, George Gershwin

I loves you, Porgy,
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
And drive me mad

I put a spell on you
cause youre mine
You better stop the things you do
I aint lyin
No I aint lyin
You know I cant stand it
Youre runnin around
You know better daddy

I put a spell on you
cause youre mine

You better stop the things you do
I aint lyin
No I aint lyin

You know I cant stand it

They say everything can be replaced
Yet every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here

I see the light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now any day now

I want a little sugar in my bowl
I want a little sweetness down in my soul
I could stand some lovin', oh so bad
Feel so funny, I feel so sad

I want a little steam on my clothes
Maybe I could fix things up so they'll go
What's the matter daddy, come on, save my soul

I wish I knew how
It would feel to be free
I wish I could break
All the chains holding me
I wish I could say
All the things that I should say
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole round world to hear

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all the chains holding me
I wish I could say all the things that I should say
say 'em loud, say 'em clear
for the whole round world to hear.

I wish I could share all the love that's in my heart
remove all the bars that keep us apart

Cross, Cory

I'll look around
And when I've found me somebody who laughs like you
I know somewhere spring must fill the air with sweetness
Just as rare as a flower that you gave me to wear

So I'll look around

I'm going back home where I was born
First I planned to stay but I can't live this way
I'm going back home where I was born

Try to understand I think this city's grand
But with all its charme give me the little country farm
I'm going back home where I was born

I'm gonna leave you yes I'm gonna
I'm gonna leave you cos I wanna
And I'll go where people love me
And I'll stay there cos they love me

No more headaches no more heartbreaks
I'm gonna leave you where I met you
I'm gonna leave you whit your money

I told Jesus it would be alright if He changed my name
I told Jesus it would be alright if He changed my name
I told Jesus it would be alright if He changed my name
And He told me that I would go hungry if He changed my name
And He told me that I would go hungry if He changed my name
And He told me that I would go hungry if He changed my name

But I told Jesus it would be alright if He changed my name

If I should lose you
The stars would fall from the sky
If I should lose you
The leaves would wither and die
The birds in maytime
Would sing a lonely refrain
And I would wander around
Hating the sound of rain

If you knew how I missed you
You would not stay away today
Don't you know I love you
Stay here my dear with me

I can't go on without you, without you
Your love is all I'm living for
I love all things about you

Rien n'est jamais acquis à l'homme, ni sa force
Ni sa faiblesse ni son cœur, et quand il croit
Ouvrir ses bras son ombre est celle d'une croix
Et quand il croit serrer son bonheur il le broie
Sa vie est un étrange et douloureux divorce
Il n'y a pas d'amour heureux

Sa vie elle ressemble à ces soldats sans armes

She does not know
Her beauty,
She thinks her brown glory,
She thinks her brown body
Has no glory.
If she could dance
Naked,
Under palm trees

In the evening by the moonlight
When my mother had finished working
We used to sit around the fire place
Till the cornbread it was done
And then we all would eat our supper
After that we'd clean the kitchen
It's the only time they ever gave us to spare
To have a little fun

Choir:
Doo do do, do do do-oo do, do do
Doo do do, do do do
Doo do do, do do do-oo do, do do
Doo do do, do do do

It don’t mean a thing, if you can’t swing
Dooa doa doa – doa doa doaa

Let's go
Just in time you've found me just in time
Before you came my time was running low
I was lost the losing dice were tossed

My bridges all were crossed nowhere to go
Now you hear now I know just where I'm going
No more doubt of fear I've found my way

I take
just like a woman
Yes I do
And I make love
just like a woman
and I ache
just like a woman
but I break

Just say I love him
I've loved him from the start
And tell him how I'm yearning
To say what's in my heart
Just say I need him
As roses need the rain
And tell him that without him
My dreams are all in vain

I'm the keeper of the flame
My torch of love lights his name
Ask no pity about my shame
I'm the keeper of the flame

Played with fire and I was burned
Gave a heart but I was spurned
All this time how I have yearned

Oh she was a lass from the low country
And he was a lord of high degree
But she loved him oh so tenderly
Oh sorrow sing sorrow
Now she sleeps in the valley where the wild flowers nod
No-one knows how she loved him but herself and God

One day when the snow was on the mead

Where is my tambourine wait a minute I'll get your tambourine
Got my tambourine get your thing baby
What's wrong with you what is it you want
Can't forget my tambourine boy want a minute
This is a folk tune nad it's called Little Liza Jane
We get some rhythm started here and see what happens

I got a beau you ain't got none Little Liza Jean

Вечер, уже темнеет, и сгущающиеся сумерки четко вычерчивают сквозь облака круглый диск луны - рано утром было полнолуние.
В этот момент хочется в последние полчаса метнутся в магазин,
потом поднявшись домой распахнуть окно и сев на подоконник и прихлебывая из бокала слушать того,
кто живет внутри и переводить его нытье в четкую латунь формулировок...
Еще блюзик хорошо поставить - вот Нина Саймон подвернулась.
Поет душевно в сгущающейся темноте. О чем поет?
Да мне самому интересно, благо почти все словеса понятны...

Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do
Old girl you're through
Sit there, count your little fingers
Unhappy little girl blue.

Sit there and count the raindrops
Falling on you

Love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won’t believe me but I love you only
I’d rather be lonely than happy with somebody else

You might find the night time the right time for kissing
Night time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

I love dancing
Crazy romancing
Fellas advancing constantly

Marriage is for old folks
Old folks, not for me!
One husband
One wife

He

Marry me marry me
Come and share my destiny
Pair with me
Dare with me
Stand up and declare with me
For we are now

Memphis in June
A shade veranda under Sunday blue sky
Memphis in June
And my cousin Miranda she's making a blueberry pie

I can see the clock outside a ticking and a tocking
Everything so peaceful and dandy
I can see my grandmama 'cross the street still a rocking

Merry mending to you
Merry mending merry mending
May your convalescence be fun as you chat about prevention

Merry mending merry mending
Think you're lucky you are the one
To get all of that attention
Forget about your pills forget about your ills

The name of this tune is Mississippi Goddam
And I mean every word of it

Alabama's gotten me so upset
Tennessee made me lose my rest
And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam

Alabama's gotten me so upset

(1963) nina simone

The name of this tune is mississippi goddam
And I mean every word of it

Alabama's gotten me so upset
Tennessee made me lose my rest
And everybody knows about mississippi goddam

I knew a man Bojangles
And he danced for you
In worn out shoes
With silver hair, a ragged shirt
And baggy pants, the old soft shoe
He jumped so high, he jumped so high
Then he lightly touched down

I knew a man Bojangles
And he danced for you
In worn out shoes
With silver hair, a ragged shirt
And baggy pants, the old soft shoe
He jumped so high, he jumped so high
Then he lightly touched down

My Baby Don’t Care For Shows
My baby don’t care for clothes
My baby just cares for me

My baby don’t care for cars and races
My baby don’t care for high tone places

Elizabeth taylor is not his style

My baby don't care for shows
My baby don't care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for cars and races
My baby don't care for high-tone places

Liz Taylor is not his style
And even Lana Turner's smile

My mans gone now
Aint no use a listenin
For his tired footsteps
Climbin up the stairs

Old man sorrows
Come to keep me company
Whisperin beside me

Не покидай меня
Нужно забыть
Все может забыться
То, что уже прошло
Забыть время
Недоразумений
И время, потерянное
На то, чтобы узнать, как

Ne me quitte pas
Il faut oublier
Tout peut s'oublier
Qui s'enfuit deja
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
A savoir comment

Summer,
Not a bit of breeze,
Neon signs are shining,
Through the tired trees,
Lovers,
Walking to and fro,
Everyone has someone,
And a place to go

No good man
Loving on a no good plan never treats me as he should
And that ain't good he's always bringing me down
He's no saint Heaven knows taht's what he ain't
Spends his money foolishly and not on me
I'm the one who gets the run around

I ought to hate him but still I love him so

When life seems full of clouds and rain
I am filled with an awkward pain
Who soothes my aching, thumping brain?
Nobody

When winder comes with snow and sleet
I'm so tired
with cold feet

Как только я жил жизнью миллионера,
Потраченный все мои деньги, я только не заботился.
Вынул всех моих друзей в течение хорошего времени,
Купленное контрабандное виски, шампанское и вино.

Тогда я начал падать столь низко,
Потерянный все мои хорошие друзья, я не должен был нигде не пойти.
Я достаю доллар снова,

Nobody's fault but mine
Nobody's fault but mine
If I die and my soul be lost
Nobody's fault but mine

I said, "I had mother who could pray
I had mother who could pray"

Old jim crow
Where you been baby
Down mississippi and back again
Old jim crow dont you know
Its all over now

Old jim crow
Whats wrong with you

(1928) Bertolt Brecht, Kurt Weill

You people can watch while I'm scrubbing these floors
And I'm scrubbin' the floors while you're gawking
Maybe once ya tip me and it makes ya feel swell
In this crummy Southern town
In this crummy old hotel
But you'll never guess to who you're talkin'.

Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
It was where everyone could see
He belonged to someone, but not me
On his hand was a plain gold band

Plain gold ring has a story to tell
It was one that I knew too well
In my heart it will never be spring

A child ran through the meadow on a sun drenched summer day
And then he stopped his play
And kneeled in a field of poppies.

A man walked through my ghetto on a humid summer day
And then he stopped to pay and he dealed in a field of poppies.

Oh, flower of forgetfulness, just an hour away to the moon

Dorothy Fields, Jimmy MacHugh

This song talk about the same Porgy
That we've talked about for two years now
His name is Porgy only this
One was written by eh
Dorothy Fields and Jimmy McHugh

You're a rich girl and you're goin' too far
'Cause you know it don't matter any way
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money

It's a bitch, girl but it's goin' too far
'Cause you know it don't matter any way
Say money, money won't get you too far

Sinnerman where you gunna run to
Sinnerman where you gunna run to
Where you gunna run to
All on that day

Well I run to the rock
Please hide me I run to the rock
Please hide me I run to the rock

Save me, somebody save me
Save me, somebody save me

I promised myself after the last romance
That I wouldn't give ya a second chance
They say to you seek, you're sure to find
And I know how sure that is
'Cause the closer I get to ya, baby

Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Alright ye

See-line woman
She drink coffee
She drink tea
And then go home

Darling, you always needed
And your tenderness is needed too
And it seems that I'm never tired
loving you, loving you
never was a feeling stronger
aching for the sweet things you do
and it seems that I'm never tired loving you
should the mountains crumble to ashes

Yeah
This is a song... was sung by Leadbelly and it was written for...his friend...
He had a friend named Blind Lemon...
And they used to ride back and forth on a train from somewhere to Texas...
And I leraned this tune from a record
I heard by him

Silver City bound I'm Silver City bound

You made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you

Love brings such misery and pain
I guess I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you

Sinnerman where you gunna run to
Sinnerman where you gunna run to
Where you gunna run to
All on that day

Well I run to the rock
Please hide me I run to the rock
Please hide me I run to the rock

Simone, Nina - Sinner Man

Oh Sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
Sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
Where you gonna run to?
All on that day

Will I run to the rock

Oh, Sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
Sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
Where you gonna run to?
All along dem day

Well I run to the rock, please hide me
I run to the Rock, please hide me
I run to the Rock, please hide me, Lord

Since you've gone I spend each lonely night,
Dealing out the cards from left to right,
And the King of Hearts is there to remind me
That I'm all alone playing solitaire.

Love was just another game for two,
I see now that's all it meant to you,
And my heart got lost somewhere in the shuffle,

Sprinh is here
Why doesn't my heart go dancing
Spring is here
Why isn't the waltz entrancing
No desire no ambition leads me
Maybe it's becaus nobody needs me

Spring is here

I was never one for singing what I really feel
Except tonight I'm bringing everything I know that's real

Stars, they come and go, they come fast or slow
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
And all you see is glory
Hey but it gets lonely there when there's no one here to share
We can shake it away, if you'll hear a story

Southern trees bear strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black body swinging in the Southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

Pastoral scene of the gallant South,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolia sweet and fresh,

Tell It Like It Is

Now if you want something to play with, go out and find yourself a toy,
Cause little boy my time is too expensive and I'm not a little boy
So if you are serious, don't play with my heart, it makes me furious
But if you want me to love you, you know I will, you know I will
Tell it like it is.

Tell me more and then some
Daddy you know what I wanna hear
I want some more and then some of that
I love you only dear

I want some more and then some
Oh how you feel
And then when you done told me

I can only give you country walks in spring time
The hand to hold when leaves begin to fall
And the lover's burning lights were born on the winter nights
That's all that's all

There are those I know who have told you
They could give you the whole round world for a toy
All I have are my arms to enfold you

Don't try to blow out the sun for me baby
I'm not asking for what I know can't be
All that I ask is a kiss a day
And I'll give you love that'll never go away
Yes I will yes I will
I wouldn't ask you to lift up
This great big world little baby
I'm not that kind of a girl

I see your face in this room full of faces,
I'm trying hard not to stare,
Strange to see you again, here of all places,
That's him over there.

My baby looks the same as he did when I met him,
I'd know that laugh anywhere,
It was foolish of me to think I'd forget him,

Hollis Brown
He lived on the outside of town
Hollis Brown
He lived on the outside of town
With his wife and five children
And his cabin brokin' down.

You looked for work and money

The sun is falling and it lies in blood
The moon is weaving bandages of gold
Old Black Swan where oh where is my lover now
Where oh where is my lover now

Torn and tattered is my bridal gown and my lamp is lost
With silver needles and with silver threads
The stars stitch a route for the dying sun

«The House of the Rising Sun» (Дом Восходящего Солнца) — народная американская песня, баллада; иногда называется также «Блюз восходящего солнца» (англ. Rising Sun Blues). Действие песни происходит в Новом Орлеане. В исполнении британской группы The Animals эта песня занимала первые строчки хит-парадов как США, так и Великобритании в 1964 году. Версия The Animals вошла (под № 122) в Список 500 лучших песен всех времён журнала Rolling Stone (2004).

Существует множество вариантов песни, в которых значительно варьируется сюжет. Во всех вариантах герой повествует о том, как погубил свою жизнь в доме Восходящего Солнца, и предостерегает от такой судьбы; однако в разных вариантах это то женщина (в том числе в первоначальной фольклорной версии), то мужчина (в том числе в версии The Animals). Дом Восходящего Солнца одни понимают как публичный дом, другие как тюрьму, третьи как кабак или игорный дом. Неизвестно также, о реальном или вымышленном здании в Новом Орлеане идёт речь. В городе в разное время в XIX веке были два заведения с таким названием, но оба раза недолго, и об их дурной репутации ничего не известно. Ни то, ни другое здание не сохранилось.

Известный фольклорист и собиратель блюза Алан Ломакс писал в 1941 году, что слова этой песни (на музыку традиционной английской баллады) написаны двумя жителями Кентукки — Джорджией Тёрнер и Бертом Мартином. Есть и другие версии происхождения песни. Первая известная запись относится к 1934. Песню исполняли многие блюзмены 1930-х-1940-х (в том числе в одном из вариантов Лидбелли в сделанной незадолго до смерти записи), а затем огромное количество рок- и поп-музыкантов второй половины XX — начала XXI в. Наибольшую известность получила версия The Animals, хотя двумя годами раньше этот хит записал Боб Дилан (1962), версию которого The Animals аранжировали (в свою очередь Дилан «позаимствовал» аранжировку у Дейва ван Ронка).

It’s not ’cause I wouldn’t,
It’s not ’cause I shouldn’t,
And, you know though well, it’s not ’cause I couldn’t,
It’s simply because I’m the laziest gal in town.

My poor heart is achin’
To bring home the bacon,
And if I find myself alone and forsaken,

You know I smoked a lot of grass,Oh Lord
And I popped a lot of pills
But I never did touch nothing
That my spirit couldn't kill
You know I see a lot of people walkin' round
Here with tombstones in their eyes
'Cause the pusher don't care
Child if you live or if you die

(Это песня из The Saboteur - последней игры студии Pandemic)

Birds flying high, you know how I feel
Sun in the sky, you know how I feel
Reeds drifting on by, you know how I feel
It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good

Love me love me love me
Say you do
Let me fly away
With you
For my love is like
The wind

Give me more

Joseph Hathaway, Charles Kingsley

Down deary down

There was a knight and he was young a-riding along the way Sir

And there he met a lady fair among the stacks of hay Sir

Only the lonely love
Only the sad of so
Wake and begin their day in the middle of the night
To breakfast on their pride
Where joys and tears just ride
To breakfast with the moon
In the middle of the night
Then to cut once more, my measly horde

There' a light
A certain kind of light
It's never shown on me
I want my whole life to be
Lived with you
Lived with you

There's a way

Though some may reach for the stars
Others will end behind bars
What the future has in store no one ever knows before
Yet we would all like the right to find the key to success
That elusive ray of light that will lead to happiness

Tomorrow is my turn
No more doubts no more fears

Trouble in mind, I`m blue
But I won`t be blue always,
`Cause the sun`s gonna shine
In my backdoor some day.

I`m all alone at midnight
And my lamp is burnin` low
Ain`t never had so much

When I was a young girl I used to see pleasure
When I was a young girl I used to drink ale
Right out of the ale house and into the jail house
Right out of the bar room and down to my grave

Come mama come papa sit you beside me
Come mama come papa and pity my case
My poor heart is aching my heart it is breaking

When I was in my prime, I flourished like a vine.
Along there came a false young man, come stole the heart of mine.
Come stole the heart of mine

The gardener standing by, three offers he made me.
The pink, the violet, and red rose, which I refused all three.
Which I refused all three

Nina Simone

"Who knows where the time goes?"

Across the evening sky, all the birds are leaving
But how can they know it's time for them to go?
Before the winter fire, I will still be dreaming
I have no thought of time

why keep on breaking my heart?
when it's beating for you
only you

why do you toy with my dreams
they're depending on you to come true

when you invaded my mind

Love me love me love me
Say you do
Let me fly away
With you
For my love is like
The wind
And wild is the wind

The rain has stopped
The streets are fresh and warm
The sky is clear the day begins to form
Once more I step outside and in my quiet way
Once again these words I have to say

Will I find my love today
Will I see his smiling face

Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang
Breaking rocks and serving my time
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang
Because they done convicted me of crime
Hold it steady right there while I hit it
well I reckon that ought to get it
been
working and working

I don't want him you can have him
He's not worth fighting for
Besides there's plenty more where he came from
I don't want him you can have him
I'm giving him the sack
And he can go right back where he came from
I'm afraid I never loved him
Sweetie he'd be better off with you

You don't know what love is
Until you learn the meaning of the blues
Until you've lost a love you had to lose
You don't know what love is

You don't know how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost

Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that’s so hard to bear

You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning

You've got to learn to show a happy face
Although you're full of misery
You mustn't show a trace of sadness
Never look for sympathy

You've got to learn although it's very hard
The way of pocketing your pride
Sometimes face humiliation

Love me love me love me
Say you do
Let me fly away
With you
For my love is like
The wind
And wild is the wind

I put a spell on you
cause youre mine

You better stop the things you do
I aint lyin
No I aint lyin

You know I cant stand it
