Boga Boga Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Por el día o por la noche el pescador sale a la mar La mar no le ha puesto horario aún de navegar
Boga, boga, boga vuelve a bogar Boga, boga, boga a trabajar
Por el día o por la noche el pescador y su piel llevan red, llevan anzuelo y más llevan deber
Boga, boga, boga vuelve a bogar Boga, boga, boga a trabajar
Pasan las horas, pasan días y se cuentan por meses Y su alegría y su tristeza la conocen los peces De entre sus manos ve venir cada rincón del porvenir el rostro de la novia, la mamá o el que nació el mismo día en que él partió
Entonces jura que ahora sí que va a vivir entonces jura que más nunca va a salir que esta vez sí es la última en el mar Y pasa el tiempo y no ve el día de volver Y pasa el tiempo entre peligros, sin mujer Y pasa el tiempo que no deja respirar
Pero la tierra se acaba cuando vuelve el pescador por eso regresa siempre al mar su gran amor
Boga, boga, boga vuelve a bogar Boga, boga, boga a trabajar
Y va de océano en océano con su anzuelo, con su red Caiga el rayo o sople el viento, allí es donde se ve
Boga, boga, boga vuelve a bogar Boga, boga, boga a trabajar
Nadie sabe cómo sueña cómo sueña un pescador cada vez que cobra presa, allí viene su amor
Boga, boga, boga vuelve a bogar Boga, boga, boga a trabajar
El pescador lleva a bordo una palma y un amor El amor lo hala del fondo, la palma del corazón
Boga, boga, boga vuelve a bogar Boga, boga, boga a trabajar
Il existe, dans les landes Le château des Quatre-Vents Et la fort belle légende Pour les petits et les grands... Il paraît, quand minuit sonne On entend dans les couloirs Les bruits de pas qui résonnent Et des sanglots dans le noir J'ai voulu savoir la cause De tous ces morts sans repos On m'a raconté des choses Qui m'ont fait froid dans le dos... Dès que minuit a sonné Le bois se met à craquer Le vent sanglote au dehors Le chiens hurlent à la mort Alors, parmi tous ces bruits Une plainte monte, monte... Une plainte qui raconte l'histoire d'amour qui suit
Il y avait 'y a longtemps Que s'aimaient deux amants Ne vivant que pour lui Respirant que pour elle Là, dans ce même lit Oh Dieu, qu'elle était belle... Mais on ne voulut pas de moi Je n'étais pas le fils d'un roi On fit tout pour m'éloigner d'elle Jamais n'ai pu revoir ma belle À la fin d'un beau jour Elle est morte d'amour Dieu n'a jamais permis De supprimer sa vie Elle est morte pour moi Moi, je suis mort pour elle Il ne le fallait pas, il ne fallait pas C'est en vain que j'appelle Chaque nuit, je l'entends pleurer Seule dans son éternité Christine, Christine... je t'aime Christine, Christine... je t'aime Mais elle ne m'entend pas Et je ne la vois pas Christine!... Christine!... Christine!!!
Et l'irréel disparaît Aussitôt que l'aube apparaît Est-ce un rêve, ou la réalité? Là, ma légende est terminée...

The Legend Of John Henry's Hammer Composer(s): Johnny Cash - June Carter Cash Performer(s): Johnny Cash; The Carter Family
John Henry's pappy woke him up one midnight He said 'fore the sheriff comes I want to tell you Listen boy he said, learn to ball a jack learn to lay a track Learn to pick and shovel too and take my hammer It'll do anything you tell it to
John Henry's mammy had about a dozen babies John Henry's pappy broke jail about a dozen times The babies all got sick and when the doctor wanted money He said I'll pay you a quarter at a time startin' tomorrow That's pay for a steel driver on this line
Then the section foreman said hey hammer swinger I see you brought your own hammer boy But what else can all them muscles do And he said I can turn a jack, I can lay a track I can pick and shovel too (can you swing a hammer boy) Yes, well I'll do anything you hire me to
(Now ain't you something so high and mighty with your muscles Just go ahead boy and pick up that hammer pick up that hammer) He said get a rusty spike and swing it down three times I'll pay you a nickel a day for every inch you sink it to Go on and do what you say you can do
With a steep nased hammer on a four foot switch handle John Henry raised his back till it touched his heels And the spike went thru the crosstie and split it half in two 35 cents a day for driving steel (Swing, swing it boy swing you owe me two more swings) I was born for drivin' steel
Well John Henry hammered in the mountain He'd give a grunt and give a groan with every swing The women folks from miles around heard him and come down To watch him make cold steel ring Lord what a swinger, just listen to the cold steel ring
But the bad boss come up laughing at John Henry Said you full of vinegar now but you 'bout through We're gonna get a steam drill to do your share of drivin' And what's all them muscles gonna do, ha John Henry Gonna take a little bit of vinegar out of you
John Henry said I feed four little brothers And baby sister's walking on her knees Did the Lord say that machines oughta take the place of living And what's a substitute for bread and beans, I ain't seen it Do engines get rewared for their steam
John Henry hid in a coalmine for his dinner nap Had thirty minutes to rest before the bell The mine boss hollered get up whoever you are and get a pick-ake Give me enough coal to start another hell And keep it burning, mine me enough to start another hell
John Henry said to his Captain a man ain't nothin' but a man But if you bring that steam drill round And I'll beat it fair and honest I'll die with my hammer in my hand, but I'll be laughing 4ause you can't replace a steel drivin' man
There was a big crowd of people at the mountain John Henry said to the steam drill how is you Pardon me Mr Steam Drill, I suppose you didn't hear me I said how I are you ha Well can you turn a jack, can you lay a track can you pick and shovel too Listen this hammer swinger's talkin' to you
Two thousand people hollered (go John Henry) Then somebody hollered (the mountain's cawing in) John Henry told the Captain tell the kind folks don't worry It ain't nothing but my hammer sucking wind, it keeps me breathing This steel driver's muscle, I ain't tin
Captain tell the people move back further I'm at the finish line and there ain't no drill It's so far behind and yet it ain't got the brains to quiet it When she blows up she'll scatter cross the hills Lord Lord When she blows up she'll scatter cross the hills
Well John Henry had a little woman I believe the lady's name was Polly Ann Yes that was his good woman John Henry threw his hammer over his shoulder and went on home He lay down to rest his weary back and early next morning he said Come here Polly Ann come here sugar You know I believe this is the first time I ever watched the sun come up that I couldn't come up Take my hammer Polly Ann and go to that railroad Swing that hammer like you seen me do it And when you're swinging with the lead man they'll know They'll know you're John Henry's woman But tell them that ain't all you can do tell them I can hoist a jack, I can lay a track, I can pick and shovel too Ain't no machine can, that's been proved to you
There was a big crowd of mourners at the church house The section hands laid him in the sand Trains go by on the rails John Henry laid They slow down and take off the hats the men do When you've come to the place where John Henry's layin' restin' his back Some of 'em say morning streel driver, you sure was a hammer swinger Then they go by pickin' up a little speed Clickety-clack clickety-clak clickety-clack clickety-clak (Yonder lies a steel drivin' man oh Lord, yonder lies a steel drivin' man Yonder lies a steel drivin' man oh Lord, yonder lies a steel drivin' man)

The Legend Of Alcatraz Composer(s): Tom Fogerty Performer(s): Tom Fogerty and multiple other artists
In the days of 1890 lived an Indian boy, I'm told He sat upon the rock to prophecy And he spoke of golden bridges And a black cloud up above And the birds in the water in a circle from the sky
And he went down to the valley And he went down through the trees And he went down to the people Telling everyone he'd meet But no would would believe him No one would believe him
In the year of 1970 lived an Indian boy, I'm told He sat upon the rock to criticize And he saw the golden bridge And the black cloud up above And the birds in the water in a circle from the sky
And he went down to the valley And he went down through the trees And he went down to the people Telling everyone he'd meet But no would would believe him No one would believe him
No one would believe him No one would believe him Why don't you tell me who is the winner Tell me who is the winner ...

Along the coast you'll hear them boast About a light they say that shines so clear So raise your glass, we'll drink a toast To the little man who sells you thrills along the pier He'll take you up, he'll bring you down He'll plant your feet back firmly on the ground He flies so high, he swoops so low He knows exactly which way he's gonna go Timothy Leary Timothy Leary
He'll take you up, he'll bring you down He'll plant your feet back on the ground He flies so high, he swoops so low Timothy Leary

Body And Soul Composer(s): Frank Eyton; Johnny Green; Edward Heyman; Robert Sour Originally performed by: Jack Hylton Covered by various other artists
You're making me blue All that you do Seems unfair You try not to hear Turn a deaf ear To my prayer It seems you don't want to see What you are doing to me My arms are waiting to caress you And to my heart they long to press you, sweet heart
My heart is sad and lonely For you I cry For you, dear, only I tell you I mean it I'm all for you Body and soul
I spend my days in longing And wondering it's me your'e wronging Why haven't you seen it I'm all for you Body and soul
I can't believe it It's hard to conceive it That you'd turn away romance Are you pretending Don't say it's the ending I wish I could have one more change to prove, dear My life a hell you're making You know I'm yours for just the taking I'd gladly surrender Myself to you Body and soul
Life's dreary for me Days seem to be long as years I've looked for the sun But can see none Through my tears Your heart must be like a stone To leave me like this alone When you could make my life worth living By taking what I'm set on giving, sweetheart
My heart is sad and lonely For you I cry For you, dear, only I tell you I mean it I'm all for you Body and soul

Body And Soul Composer(s): Virginia Stauffer Performer(s): Bill Monroe
See that train coming round the bend Carrying the one that I love Her beautiful body is still here on earth But her soul has been called up above
Body and soul, body and soul That's how she loved me, with body and soul
Her beautiful hair was the purest of gold Her eyes were as blue as the sea Her lips were the color of summer's red rose And she promised she would always love me
Tomorrow as the sun sinks low The shadows will cover her face As her last sun goes down, she's laid beneath the ground And my teardrops are falling like rain
Legacy Composer(s): Dennis Larden First release by: Rick Nelson & The Stone Canyon Band - 1974
Go down to the sea put your ears to the ground and open your heart to the waves and the sounds that they make as they break along the shore never more to pass this way again
open your eyes to the cries of the crane and look to the skies for a life that you won't see again as the silence cuts the glen never more to pass this way again
never coming through here, oh no my time is through here - that, I know and all that I leave I bequeth to my son and beg his forgiveness, for all that I've done in his name as the cycle comes to end never more to pass this way again
never coming through here my friend I know my road has reached the end never more to pass this way again

Bocca Di Rosa French Title: Gueule De Rose Composer(s): Fabrizio de André Originally performed by: Fabrizio de André Covered by various other artists
La chiamavano bocca di rosa metteva l'amore metteva l'amore la chiamavano bocca di rosa metteva l'amore sopra ogni cosa Appena scese alla stazione del paesino di Sant'Ilario tutti si accorsero con uno sguardo che non si trattava di un missionario C'e' chi l'amore lo fa per noia chi se lo sceglie per professione bocca di rosa ne' l'uno ne' l'altro lei lo faceva per passione Ma la passione spesso conduce a soddisfare le proprie voglie senza indagare se il concupito ha il cuore libero oppure ha moglie E fu così che da un giorno all'altro bocca di rosa si tirò addosso l'ira funesta delle cagnette a cui aveva sottratto l'osso Ma le comari di un paesino non brillano certo d'iniziativa le contromisure fino al quel punto si limitavano all'invettiva Si sa che la gente da' buoni consigli sentendosi come Gesù nel tempio si sa che la gente da' buoni consigli se non può dare cattivo esempio Così una vecchia mai stata moglie senza mai figli, senza più voglie si prese la briga e di certo il gusto di dare a tutte il consiglio giusto E rivolgendosi alle cornute le apostrofò con parole acute: "Il furto d'amore sarà punito -disse- dall'ordine costituito" E quelle andarono dal commissario e dissero senza parafrasare "Quella schifosa ha già troppi clienti più di un consorzio alimentare" E arrivarono quattro gendarmi con i pennacchi con i pennacchi e arrivarono quattro gendarmi con i pennacchi e con le armi Il cuore tenero non e' una dote di cui sian colmi i carabinieri ma quella volta a prendere il treno l'accompagnarono malvolentieri Alla stazione c'erano tutti dal commissario al sagrestano alla stazione c'erano tutti con gli occhi rossi e il cappello in mano A salutare chi per un poco senza pretese, senza pretese a salutare chi per un poco portò l'amore nel paese C'era un cartello giallo con una scritta nera, diceva "Addio bocca di rosa con te se ne parte la primavera" Ma una notizia un po' originale non ha bisogno di alcun giornale come una freccia dall'arco scocca vola veloce di bocca in bocca E alla stazione successiva molta più gente di quando partiva chi manda un bacio, chi getta un fiore chi si prenota per due ore Persino il parroco che non disprezza fra un miserere e un'estrema unzione il bene effimero della bellezza la vuole accanto in processione E con la Vergine in prima fila e bocca di rosa poco lontano si porta a spasso per il paese l'amore sacro e l'amor profano
