Just One Of Those Things

It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings
Just one of those things

It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Just one of those things

If we’d thought a bit before the end of it
When we started painting the town
We’d have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot not to cool down

So good-bye, dear, and amen
Here’s hoping we meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things

1. Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars)

Um cantinho, um violão,
Esse amor numa canção,
Pra fazer feliz a quem se ama,
Muita calma pra pensar e ter tempo pra sonhar,
Da janela vê-se o Corcovado,
O Redentor que lindo.

Quero a vida sempre assim,
Com você perto de mim,
Até o apagar da velha chama,
E eu que era triste,
Descrente de sinismo,
Ao encontrar você eu conheci,
O que é Felicidade, Meu Amor.

O que é Felicidade, Meu Amor

Quiet nights of quiet stars,
Quiet chords from my guitar,
Floating on the silence that surronds us,

Quiet nights of quiet stars,
Quiet chords from my guitar,
Floating on the silence that surronds us,
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams,
Quiet walks by quiet streams,
And window that looking so to Corcovado,
Oh! How I lovely.

2. The Sky is in your Eyes

The stars are in your eyes, they spark a midnight fire
Your smile is so divine, it takes away the thin veil from my sorrow

The sky is in your eyes, it clears all my confusions
I dream of things that float above the stormy realm of my delusions

Every time I look at you I know that the reason why
we know that it’s not over
‘cause time cannot fade our love into the oblivion
you feel me near, every day
three thousand miles away will never be
too far to know that
I love you

Le stelle son tuoi occhi, son il fuoco nell mio cuore
tuo riso e divino, e toglie il velo grigio dal dolore

il cielo nei tuoi occhi, nascondono i problemi
E sogno che galeggio sopra il regno assurdo del delirio

Ogni volta che’l autunno arriva insieme a te
mia musica ti trova
e balli col vento sulla vecchia strada
ti porta piu vicino a me
mi senti ancora qui
t’aspetto sempre lo sai
ritorni a me

3. Vocalise for my Mother

I keep hearing you in the night and I dream I’m calling for you in the dark
………………………………………..
And I madly come to find in my mind -to face my own fears
That I don’t know, guess I do know, no I don’t know
…………………. In my soul I seek I search and break again
I talk to myself all over again, I am alone

………………………………
I’m frantically gasping for air in the night and I slowly need to breath
……………………………………..it’s a labyrinth in my heart as I die
all over again, no, no lo se, yes, I do know
That your spell is lingering on. In my trance I fly, I fall, and trip again
I slip through the cracks…………………

I keep hearing you in the night I keep screaming madly for you in my dreams
and you’re floating back to me but then I wake up I jump up again and I grieve and come to terms with myself
That I don’t know, guess I do know, yes, I do know
That your spell is lingering on. In my mind I fly, I fall, and trip again
I slip through the cracks and come out untouched.

4. Cry Me a River

5. Ophelia’s Madness

The sky is joyfully crying tonight
Ophelia’s big crystal tears are falling from the thunderous light
Let the pond of your wildest dreams be held in the everlasting madness of Ophelia’s tears
Convincing in love within a dubious thought, oh no, it’s only true feeling that may surrender to an un-expecting crossroad of everlasting changing of time, changing of time, changing of time, changing of time
Ophelia’s madness is screaming and roaring with pride and through joyful tears she rides on the slippery trails of the night.
By my side, through the night, by my side, through the night, by my side……

6. La del Estribo

La del estribo cuando me miras gateando sobre la barra del bar
La del estribo cuando mi idea se ahoga en una copa más

Y bailas sola sin darte cuenta que ya amanece afuera del Blues
y van alzando las sillas negras y grito ahora a’ donde voy

La del estribo cuando te pegas al cuero rojo del asiento viejo
La del estribo cuando ya /imploro/jodo sobre mi pobre desamor

La del estribo cuando el Napo le habla Delia en el cielo pinta´o
y Angel Cobo de donde sea se pierde hacia Guapulo

Las guitarronas ya no asoman se nos quedaron en el taxi amigo
Mi whiskey el Johnnie nos acompaña fielmente a buscarlas ya

La amanecida se pone dura y Christian llora por la nostalgia
La del estribo cuando te miro y digo Negra, ya me voy!

7. Mi Amargo Placer

Mi Amargo Placer
Dedicado a Chabelita Vargas

Me pierdo en mi cantina
Con tabaco y tequila
Cigarrillo maldito, alcohol bendito
Apacigua mi amargo sin sabor

Canto con feroz voz alli donde voy
Con roja luz al andar las miradas se dispersan
Entre viejas guapas y poetas delirantes

Bohemia me deleitas, bohemia me das vueltas
Bohemia me torturas, bohemia me perviertes
Bohemia, Bohemia, eres mi amargo placer

Los recuerdos se desvanecen detras de la memoria
La muerte persiste e insiste y el tiempo no cesa.
Mi delirio me despierta y junto a mis suenos rotos cabalgo sin frenar bajo la noche tan fria del boulevard y sus piedras malditas
reflejan sus almas perdidas entre el sexo y el dolor

Bohemia me deleitas, bohemia me das vueltas
Bohemia me torturas, bohemia me perviertes
Bohemia, Bohemia, eres mi amargo placer

8. Nuestro Juramento

No puedo verte triste porque me mata
Tu carita de pena, mi dulce amor
Me duele tanto el llanto que tu derramas
Que se llena de angustia mi corazón

Yo sufro lo indecible si tu entristeces
No quiero que la duda te haga llorar
Hemos jurado amarnos hasta la muerte
Y si los muertos aman
Después de muertos amarnos mas

Si yo muero primero, es tu promesa
Sobre de mi cadáver dejar caer
Todo el llanto que brote de tu tristeza
Y que todos se enteren de tu querer

Si tu mueres primero, yo te prometo
Escribiré la historia de nuestro amor
Con toda el alma llena de sentimiento
La escribiré con sangre
Con tinta sangre del corazon

9. Spanish Dreamland Inquisition

My memory is locked and you yourself shall keep the key
away from fearful words of a sunlit girl who saw demons way too soon
for her innocence was destroyed before true love was to come her way
So she said, do not be afraid you’ll never be alone.
Do I just sound like non sense to you? I’m sure I do
because they are “only”dreams that make no sense
but if you listen closely you will know what they are meant to be

Very high clear blue water seemed to drown me from afar
creeping up on me fiercely flirting with my feet
I rapidly hike up to the top, look behind me and run from the rough hit
I see the pitch dark city from the mountain, it is late and I am escaping once more but those guards take me back to my jail. My house, where I thought once to be the princess to her prince but there outside the truth was to unveil before my eyes. I saw the mushroom patch under the orange sun glaze, the flowers swayed to sweet warm wind and the man
in front of me rapidly & disgustingly transformed into the devil himself and so I understood who I had married once upon a time. I understood I had to get away for black witchcraft had reeled me in.

Oh, why don’t you just sail through these troubled waters of my tempest heart
for in battle you have to encounter gods, beasts & humans but more so, yourself.
So I say say say, set your compass for clearer skies ‘cause the spirit doesn’t change,
it’s only the mood.

I live to live not to die and am afraid of that last short and deep breath that will be the final one when memories shall pass too fast too soon to take me into the journey of another dreamland wherever that one may be. They say surrendering is not the same as giving up. I further ask you, do you really live in the truth or in a lie or live like you should, do you wallow in your own pity and play victim of a crime? Or do you cut their heads off, breath and move on? M

My soul must be printed

10. Princesa Baronesa

It was a very starry night
and we were out and about
at Beto’s Bar looked like the place to be

While we were lighting a joint
el Cabo Pisco walks by
Oiga Senorita, le espera el Capitan

El Bolo’s saying why, why why?
Minino dice que que que?
And Ana whispers weed weed weed weed
We wonder what the hell we did?

And it turns out that in town
the rumor spreading around
about some naked gringas taking sun

We were accused of a crime
It’s true, we did cross the line
God damn, we are the guilty ones?!

El Capi dice please, please, please
You cannot really do this here
and I was saying what, what, what, what
Hable serio, Capitan!
Soy la Princesa Baronesa, soy la Princesa Baronesa, Soy la Princesa Baronesa

It was a very sexy bar
the clock read quarter to five
the time was right for us to have a scotch

The sketchy hang was at the square
the boyz were up to no good
Que fueff? I heard it from the curb

El Cuarto grita habla yaafff
Pirata’s saying yeah yeah yeah
El Diablo dice si si si, si
Los cocos te los bajo yo!

The sun was cooking Villamil
the dock was covered with seals
and frigate birds are trying to steal the show

The swell is looking really sick
so take a run to the hut
Time out, to ride that gnarly wave

Ermanno dice no no no
El Kino saying yeah yeah yeah
And Fufi’s smiling go go go go
I just want to smoke a blunt, Ma

Soy la Princesa Baronesa, Soy la Princesa Baronesa, soy la Princesa Baronesa….

11. Light or Dark

You are my greatest fear the one that I dread the most
How far can I travel without crossing
into this treacherous road
Baby, you tell me, should I live in the dark?You are my deepest thoughts, they wake me up at night
How can I exorcise them from my mind
while they haunt me deep inside
Baby, you tell me, should I live in the dark?Still, you touch me with fearful hands as if you’re the one afraid of me
Still, you talk to me with awkward words as if you could not get through to me
Still, you smile with dreaming lips and try to take me on like a little girlYou carved inside of me like a sculptor with his knife
You provoked my stormiest nights while the thunder made cry
You browsed inside of me, you bruised and you burnedI was caught on fire with a knot inside my heart
Now, baby, you tell me, please, should I live in the dark
Baby, you tell me, should I live in the light?

Stand Still (Remix)

Every time you walk away
My heart says stay another day with me
But you’ll come back in the autumn light
That holds you oh ever so tight
When the yearning thrives
Oh, come home make love to me
Oh, one more time deliciously

Are you playing with my heart
How many different words can comfort me
Why cast your spell in every trail that leads
You to another girl, look into my eyes
Dare to tell me that we’re not
Meant to be in state of love

Stand still
Wait until the sound of the warm thrill
That gently wakes you up
And stand still
Cause it’s our loving sin
And it’s meant to be
Naturally, eternally
To stand still
And wait until the sign from the moon & stars

Summer In New York

Corners, streets, and alleys meet
Zebra stripes and traffic lights
I miss metro stops
Swinging me downtown
Chinese crumbles news
To make his bed at night

Lust and sex and humid heat
Madness calls and muses float
Tell me where you are
Please come back to me
I loose myself at night
To make my lonely days seem right

Summer in New York
Summer sexy breeze…yeaaahhh
Dancing on the river…yeeeeaaahhh

City lights and devilish drinks
Wild woman come to me
Kiss me on my lips
Burn me with your fire
Meet me in my dreams
Make my lonely days seem right

Summer in New York
Summer sexy breeze..yeaaah
Dancing on the river…yeeeaaah

Dancing barefoot in the park
To the beat of who knows who
You pierce through my pores
Lead me to the end
Underneath the moon
Make my lonely nights seems right

Fifteen Day Affair

rifting wood in the sunrise light, you knew me well, a life
in a dark night drowned at sea
Misty, playful, subtle eyes, who would have known this
would start an endless fifteen day affair

Broken laugh in a sundown melt, I knew you well, tears of
a wild cry, run to sea
Drifty, chilling, southern wind, who would have known this
would start an endless fifteen day affair

I say no and you say yes, I say why and you say when
I say soft and you say kiss, I say flirt and you say touch
And I’ll never be the same again
And I’ll never be the same again
In this side of town a baby smiles

Give me your sweet lips of life
Give me your love when I call
Dragonflies, dunes of rose, barefoot dreams, sandy streets
In fifteen day affair

I Love

I love to dance
I love to sing
I love to roam
I love a storm
I love to catch and ride a wave
On a glassy morning day
I love to live
I love to cry
I love a thrill
I love a chill
I love a silent starry night
I love making love to you

I love the bubbling of champagne
I love to hang out with my friends
I love the wrinkling on your face
I love the wisdom in an old man’s eyes
I love to jam and drink all night
Until the dancing breaking light
I love making love to you

I love their fears
I love their tears
I love a kiss
I love New York
I love the sound of ballet shoes
And I hate, and I hate, and I hate saying bye to you

Stand Still

Every time you walk away
My heart says stay another day with me
But you’ll come back in the autumn light
That holds you oh ever so tight
When the yearning thrives
Oh, come home make love to me
Oh, one more time deliciously

Are you playing with my heart
How many different words can comfort me
Why cast your spell in every trail that leads
You to another girl, look into my eyes
Dare to tell me that we’re not
Meant to be in state of love

Stand still
Wait until the sound of the warm thrill
That gently wakes you up
And stand still
Cause it’s our loving sin
And it’s meant to be
Naturally, eternally
To stand still
And wait until the sign from the moon & stars

What a Difference a Day Makes

What a difference a day made twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers where there used to be rain
My yesterday was blue, dear , today I’m part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear , since you said you were mine
What a difference a day makes there’s a rainbow before me
Skies above can’t be stormy since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss
It’s heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made and the difference is you
What a difference a day makes , there’s a rainbow before me
Skies above can’t be stormy since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss
It’s heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made and the difference is you

Red Mafia and Jass

New Orleans lost in the past
I loose myself in your guts
Cajun moon in the Quarter
The Mississippi blues

Red mafia and jass
And I smell the sex
Down to Storyville

New Orleans lost in the past
I loose myself in your guts
Drunk by women in cribs
Deep black soul in love

Red mafia and jass
And I smell the sex
Down to Storyville

I miss you so
Wait for me
I miss you so
Don’t die just yet
I miss you so, New Orleans
I’ll always come back
I’ll come back to your lust

New Orleans lost in the past
I loose myself in your guts
Reminds me of streetcar on Charles
And Blanche’ s lonesome desire

Creoles, cotton & swamps
And I smell the sex
Down in New Orleans

East of the Sun

East of the sun and west of the moon
We’ll build a dream house of love dear
Close to the sun in the day
Near to the moon at night
We’ll live in a lovely way dear
Sharing our love in the pale moonlight

Just you and I, forever and a day
Love will not die; we’ll keep it that way
Up among the stars we’ll find a harmony of life to a lovely tune
East of the sun and west of the moon dear
East of the sun and west of the moon

Perfect Little Storms

Don’t you start to cry, my little baby
My sweet blue eyes, my little baby
Your funny laugh and games
Make me shine every single day and night in my life

Don’t you start to pout my little man
My perfect little storm, my little man
Your foolish laughs and games
Make me shine every single day and night in my life

You always melt my heart with your baby laughs,
with your baby smile, with your baby walk
With your curly hair you dance with me
And I sing to you and you smile through your eyes
And you love me too like I do you, all our lives.

Don’t you start to pout my little man
My perfect little storm, my little man
Your funny laughs and cries
Make me shine every single day and night of my life

You always melt my heart with your childish games, and your childish laughs
and your childish talk
With your wild hair you rock with me and sing Summertime
And sweet tears in your eyes say you love me too
Like I do you, all our lives

Fine and Mellow

My man don’t love me
He treats me oh so mean
My man he don’t love me
He treats me awful mean
He’s the lowest man
That I’ve ever seen

He wears high trimmed pants
Stripes are really yellow
He wears high trimmed pants
Stripes are really yellow
But when he starts in to love me
He is so fine and mellow

Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long
Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long
Love will make you do things
That you know is wrong

Treat me right baby
And I’ll stay home everyday
Just treat me right baby
And I’ll stay home night and day
But you’re so mean to me baby
I know you’re gonna drive me away

Love is just like a faucet
It turns off and on
Love is like a faucet
It turns off and on
Sometimes when you think it’s on baby
It has turned off and gone
