"CANÇÓ A MAHALTA"

MÀRIUS TORRES" 

Corren les nostres ànimes com dos rius paral.lels.
Fem el mateix camí sota els mateixos cels. 

No podem acostar les nostres vides calmes:
entre els dos hi ha una terra de xiprers i de palmes. 

En els meandres grocs de lliris, verds de pau,
sento, com si em seguís, el teu batec suau 

i escolto la teva aigua, tremolosa i amiga,
de la font a la mar -la nostra pàtria antiga-. 

 

--------------------------------------

Tu que m'has descobert el corriol que mena
 al verd país dels teus records,
deixa-m'hi viure en pau al teu costat. La pena
 és que jo també tinc records! 
Però potser -qui sap!- algun dia t'emmeni
 pels meus camins no tan suaus.
Potser la teva passa tan manyaga assereni
 els gorgs, els erms i els afraus 
i quan els dos haurem lligat, per fantasia,
 els records de la joventut,
cadascú tindrà l'altre per fer-li companyia
 i un doble paradís perdut. 

 

"M'HE DESPERTAT TOT SOL"

MÀRIUS TORRES 

 M'he despertat tot sol en un antic jardí
que no sé si és la meva presó o el meu imperi.
Canta pertot l'alè dels arbres, i el misteri
d'un esperit que em crida, però no és per a mi.

Camino poc a poc, amb temença, com si
un àngel no del tot m'acabés de voler-hi.
El meu cor s'exhaureix en el silenci aeri.
La llum és una fronda sobre cada camí.

Adam devia anar pel món, el primer dia,
com jo vaig, sorprenent la verda melodia
de cada veu de l'aire, del gest de cada branc;

per abraçar la llum esbatanant els braços,
el cos encara moll de rosada i de fang,
deixant estela d'ànima darrera dels seus passos.

El Borbó deixeble de Franco, assassí d'elefants i xuclador de mamella fins al final ha tingut la pensada de traslladar-nos l'encàrrec rebut pel fill de puta del seu predecessor.
Cal marxar de la tirania d'aquesta trepa...

"WHIPPED"

BONNIE "PRINCE" BILLY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vSvyxlUdb8 

 

Yes, I'm quieter, tired
I'm more apt to say
"You go on, boys, I'm good
Think I'll stay in today."
I ain't older (yes, I'm older)
But that's not why the scales have tipped.
Oh you know I've been chosen to be whipped.

Lion tamer, pride life reframer
That warm pot of gold
Always waiting, fear abating
To welcome me home from the cold

It's my pleasure or my treasure
It's the opening that I had so dreamed for
Often screamed for I was as I like to die
And then I found her, and now I hound her
To get mine fully lipped, I'm in love, love,
And I am absolutely
Whipped.

Must be love
I'm whipped and cowed
And I'll whoop and holler
If I'm allowed.

"MY HOME IS THE SEA"

BONNIE "PRINCE" BILLY 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Bu-J2NbSqM 

 I have often said
that I would like to be dead
in shark's mouth

a woman swimming under
her warm breath sendin' a thunder
on two parts south

and love is stripped and frayed
and duty is delayed
until next life

someone has my mind
holding yes so kind
it is my wife

and my home is the sea
my home is the sea
look not for me

my home is the sea
disaster flies upon me
and i sleep
we can see the house lights
colored from a distance
for a party as a dream

my tongue will into me
my arms unfold these seeds
cause im a strong man

and do not love my tummy
is round and firm and funny
and thats what i am

my home is the sea
my home is the sea


i am under your spell
you will have me i reckon
and the drowning this town
as a drowning i welcome

i know nothing and im over joyed
i know nothing and im over joyed
i know nothing and im over joyed

god gave you life and thought
now its ours to waste
i have the finest love
and the finest taste

see her when im home
i am home

you are home

"RIDING"

PALACE BROTHERS 

(BONNIE "PRINCE" BILLY) 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jl2loqaByN8

 

 Where you going riding, boy?
I'm gonna ride on down to see you
Where you going riding, boy?
I'm gonna ride on down to see you

Where you going riding, boy?
All dressed up and with that look of joy
Where you going riding, boy?
I'm gonna ride on down to see you

Who you gonna ride with, boy?
I'm gonna bring my sister Lisa
Who you gonna ride with, boy?
I'm gonna bring my sister Lisa

Who you gonna ride with, boy?
All dressed up and with that look of joy
Who you gonna ride with, boy?
I'm gonna bring my sister Lisa

Because I love my sister Lisa
I love my sister Lisa
I love my sister Lisa most of all

Don't you know that that's sinful, boy
God is what I make of Him
Don't you know that that's sinful, boy
God is what I make of Him

I'm long since dead and I live in Hell
She's the only girl that I love well
We were raised together and together we fell
God is what I make of Him

And all I have I give to Him
All I own I owe to Him
All my life I pledge to Him

 

"MIL BILIONS EN ESTRELLETES"

JOAN MIQUEL OLIVER 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umJFITKjk48 

Mil bilions en estrelletes
llums d'avions a pas fugaç
guspiraven ses casetes
a dedins els olivars

Suspirava cansadeta
perquè havia estat plorant
estenia camisetes
i tenia els ulls inflats.

Mil bilions en estrelletes
llums d'avions a pas fugaç
s'aixugava llagrimetes
perquè havia estat pensant.

"CROSS EYED MARY"

JETHRO TULL 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7jLiXeFm_E 

 Who would be a poor man, a beggarman, a thief --
if he had a rich man in his hand.
And who would steal the candy
from a laughing baby's mouth
if he could take it from the money man.

Cross-eyed Mary goes jumping in again.
She signs no contract
but she always plays the game.
Dines in Hampstead village
on expense accounted gruel,
and the jack-knife barber drops her off at school.

Laughing in the playground -- gets no kicks from little boys:
would rather make it with a letching grey.
Or maybe her attention is drawn by Aqualung,
who watches through the railings as they play.

Cross-eyed Mary finds it hard to get along.
She's a poor man's rich girl
and she'll do it for a song.
She's a rich man stealer
but her favour's good and strong:
She's the Robin Hood of Highgate --
helps the poor man get along.

"FAT MAN"

JETHRO TULL 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqbGXl5lxEg 

 Don't want to be a fat man,
people would think that I was
just good fun.
Would rather be a thin man,
I am so glad to go on being one.
Too much to carry around with you,
no chance of finding a woman who
will love you in the morning and all the night time too.

Don't want to be a fat man,
have not the patience to ignore all that.
Hate to admit to myself half of my problems
came from being fat.
Won't waste my time feeling sorry for him,
I seen the other side to being thin.
Roll us both down a mountain
and I'm sure the fat man would win.

"HOW THE DAY SOUNDS"

GREG LASWELL 

https://vimeo.com/1322721 

 Oh who would have
Ever known this?
Could be this easy
I was a long, long way off
Then just like that it was over
Everything I knew of love
I was a long, long way off

And I think I like
How the day sounds
Like how the day sounds
Through this new song

Thank you for opening the window
The sky is clear as my mind is now
I was a long, long way off
Join me in welcoming the sun in
It's much brighter
Than the night I hid in
I was a long, long way off

And I think I like how
The day sounds
Like how the day sounds
Through this new song
And I think I like how
The day sounds
Like how the day sounds
Through this new song

From a long way down

Yeah, it's well worth the time
That it's taken to get here now
Yeah, it's well worth the time
That it's taken to get here now

Ba da dum

So go ahead and bang a gong
Nothing can drown
Out the sound
And the whisper of my love

And I think I like how
The day sounds
Like how the day sounds
Through this new song
And I think I like how
The day sounds
Like how the day sounds
Through this new song
Through this new song
Through this new song

And the blinds
Have all been drawn
I know where I belong
Where I belong,
Where I belong
And the blinds
Have all been drawn
I know where I belong
Where I belong

And I think I like
How the day sounds
Like how the day sounds
Through this new song
And I think I like how
The day sounds
Like how the day sounds
Through this new song

Oh, won't you sing along
Oh, my love
Won't you sing along
Oh, won't you sing along
Oh, my love
Won't you sing along
Oh, won't you sing along
Oh, my love
Won't you sing along
Oh, won't you sing along
Oh, my love
Won't you sing along
