Rumour spreadin’ a-’round in that Texas town
’bout that shack outside La Grange
And you know what I’m talkin’ about.
Just let me know if you wanna go
To that home out on the range.
They gotta lotta nice girls.

Have mercy.
A haw, haw, haw, haw, a haw.
A haw, haw, haw.

Well, I hear it’s fine if you got the time
And the ten to get yourself in.
A hmm, hmm.
And I hear it’s tight most ev’ry night,
But now I might be mistaken.
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.

Compadre Ram?n (bis)
le hago la visita
pa?que me acepte la invitaci?n
quiero con afecto
llevar al Valle cofres de plata
Una bella serenata
con m?sica de acorde?n (bis)
Con notas y con folclor
de la tierra de la hamaca

Acompa?enme (bis)
a un collar de cumbia sanjacintera
llevo en mi canto
con Adolfo Pacheco
y un viejo son de To?o Fernandez
Y llevo una Hamaca Grande
m?s grande que el cerro e?Maco (bis)

Pa?que el pueblo vallenato
meci?ndose en ella cante

Y conseguir? (bis)
a un indio Parofo
y su vieja gaita que solo cuenta
historias sagradas
que antepasados recuerdo? esconde
Pa?que hermosamente toque
y se diga cuando venga (bis)

Que tambi?n tiene leyenda
cual la de Francisco el Hombre.

Es una historia que… (bis)

Es una historia que, es una historia que
me duele repetir porque es sentimental
todo mi coraz?n se lo entregu?
y ella se complaci? en tratarlo mal (bis)

Si el coraz?n se viera, si el coraz?n se viera
ella pudiera ver como lo tengo yo
me pedir?a llorando que le diera
por toda su maldad el perd?n de Dios

Yo no puedo olvidar a esa mujer
que me hizo tanto tiempo padecer
Yo no puedo olvidar aquel amor
que me dej? sangrando el coraz?n (bis)

porque un amor que sangra no se olvida
porque deja en el alma una onda herida

Yo no puedo negar, yo no puedo negar
que con mucho dolor recuerdo a esa mujer
nunca podr? olvidar aqu?l amor
que me hizo tanto tiempo padecer (bis)

Es una historia que, es una historia que
me duele repetir porque es sentimental
todo mi coraz?n se lo entregu?
y ella se complaci? en tratarlo mal (bis)

Yo no puedo olvidar a esa mujer
que me hizo tanto tiempo padecer
Yo no puedo olvidar aquel amor
que me dej? sangrando el coraz?n (bis)

porque un amor que sangra no se olvida
porque deja en el alma una onda herida

(Spoken:)
Como puede ser verdad
How could it be true?

Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
Just like I’d never gone, I knew the song
A young girl with eyes like the desert
It all seems like yesterday, not far away

Chorus:

Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby



The beautiful island






I fell in love with San Pedro
Warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me
Te dijo te amo
I prayed that the days would last
They went so fast


He told you, “I love you”



(chorus)

I want to be where the sun warms the sky
When it’s time for siesta you can watch them go by
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a girl

Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
It all seems like yesterday, not far away

(chorus twice)

La la la la la la la
Te dijo te amo
La la la la la la la
El dijo que te ama

He told you, “I love you”

He said he loves you

la jalouse
I said no
la jalouse
I told you to go

you trick me with all your lies
trick me ’til I’m on your side
drag me into your stinking pit
jalouse
don’t cry (baby)
just get out and never come back

la jalouse
mon amie mon contre amie
mon amie mon contre amie
la jalouse
I told you to go

something you said
tipped me off to who you were
we were talking in the kitchen
I closed my eyes I put the glass down
I knocked the table over then I
I grabbed your shoulders then I
I threw you as hard as ever

la jalouse
where would you go anyway
(here, have some wine)
la jalouse
let’s talk about old…let’s review some things

you made me crazy lose my mind
now I can’t remember why
I don’t even like the guy

I feel the power of the stranger inside me
A force of magic surrounds me
This fountain within me is overflowing

Peaceful and inviting
Beautiful and enticing

Rising sun bless me morning with a smile
A magic pearl from the seas
Born in a willow breaze
Loyal friend my guardian angel in the sky
You’ve served me well all these years
Greeting with both hands trusting with no fears
Till the end

When everything is golden and everything is oh
And everything is oh
My only living treasure on this eartg

When everything is golden
Everything and everyone is oh

(Back to me)

Lovers walk off on each other
Brothers go their separate ways
You wake up somewhere in the middle
Wonderin’ why nobody stays

You are a child of wild desires
When you’re innocence leaves, yeah
Why you wanna play with fire
Here I am, here I am

J’ m’appel La Flamme (?? c’est mon nom)
Set off your alarm (ooh se coir)
Let me take you home
Bet’cha I’ll take care of everything
Tonight
(What, what, what, what’cha gonna do for me)

You thought her love was too good
But she’s the reason for your pain
But hey I’m gonna make you happy
I’ll never let you hurt again
Almost killed you with her honesty
Back when you innocently stayed
Why you wanna play with fire
Here I am, here I am

J’ m’appel La Flamme (?? c’est mon nom)
Set off your alarm (ooh se coir)
Let me take you home
Bet’cha I’ll take care of everything
(Ain’t, ain’t, ain’t nobody) Tonight

J’ m’appel La Flamme (?? c’est mon nom)
Oh, set off your alarm (ooh se coir)
Let me take you home
Bet’cha I’ll take care of everything
Tonight

Tonight, make it happen for real
Make your fantasies happy, completely
Come stay with me, stay with me

J’ m’appel La Flamme (?? c’est mon nom)
Set off your alarm (ooh se coir)
Let me take you home
Bet’cha I’ll take care of everything
Bet’cha I’ll take care of everything
Tonight

J’ m’appel La Flamme (?? c’est mon nom)
Set off your alarm (ooh se coir)
Won’t you take me home
Bet’cha I’ll take care of everything tonight
J’ m’appel La Flamme (?? c’est mon nom)
My nomme is Chaka Khan
Won’t you take me home
Bet’cha I’ll, I’ll take care of everything

I lay my head on her bosom
To cry myself to sleep
I see no greater wisdom
Than she has given me

La dolly vita
Sweet as true love
La dolly vita
Cool as ice cream
Cool as ice cream

You hear a lot of visions
You can’t even stop
Can’t see what you’re missing
Spinning like a top

Fade away, I want to see her
Fade away, I want to see her
I only want to meet her

La dolly vita
True as blue sky
La dolly vita
Cool as ice cream
Cool as ice cream

Take it all the way down
Forsake what you have now
Take it all the way down

Por l’amor d’una mujer
si sabe les Comprender
Djo no quiero nostre amor pensa
Por l’amor d’una mujer
Que no diega les comprender
El es fonte des mi vida
Todo mi parace
Como un sueno des la vida
Por te Cambiera des nostre amor sincero
Todo mi parece
Que tu no li cari si aba
Te prometto que no volvera

To do mi parece
Que tu no li cari si aba
Te prometto que no volvera

Lolai, lolai, lolai

Perch? d?inverno ? meglio

la donna ? tutta pi? segreta e sola

tutta pi? morbida e pelosa

e bianca, alfagana, algebrica e penosa

dolce e squisita, ? tutta un?altra cosa

vuole andare in gita non sa – non sa – non sa



Mentre la neve attenua ogni rumore

e in strada gli autocarri non hanno pi? motore

e questo ? il tempo di lasciarsi sprofundare

nel medioevo delle sua frasi amare,

dice che non vuol peccare

per?, si sa lo fa.



Sto trafficando beato me

sotto un fruscio di taffet?

e mi domando in fondo se

mentre lei splende sul sof?

d?inverno, d?inverno

non sai anche pi? intelligente.



Si, si d?inverno ? meglio

dopo ? pi? facile dormire e andare

oltre i pensieri com un libro

di Lucrezio aperto tra le dita

cos? ? la vita, tra una vestaglia e un mare

chi vuole andare in gita

non sa, non sa, non sa
