Texas Tornadoes: Soy de San Luis

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzF1VBE2ErU&feature=related

Por Dios santos, que no vuelvo a Texas, ni por la feria, Flaco.

Voy ya cantar estos versos, aunque yo no soy de aqui,
yo soy puro Mejicano, soy de San Luis Potos.
Caminando y caminando he llegado a San Antonio,
me encontre muy buen trabajo y tambien con el demonio.

Found me a little Tejanita and I fell in love with her.
She was so bonita and I had to marry her.
Then she took off to Laredo, and she called me from Nuevo Len,
She said: Send me some more money, so I can come back home.

Ya me voy para mi tierra, aunque pobre es mi nacin,
pero si, les aseguro, que alla manda el pantaln.
Ah les dejo a mi Tejana, no la pude soportar,
hay que la toree el diablo, a ver, si el la puede aguantar.

Now Im back in my homeland, back where I was born.
One thing I know for sure now, many wear the Pantalns.
Left her in old San Antonio, 'cause I could not afford her.
Hay que la toree el diablo, a ver, si el la puede aguantar.
She belongs to el diablo, he can have her, I dont want her any more.

Hi M.A.O. the Spanish section is for help in understanding English so that people can participate on the English forum. It is not for beginning Spanish discussions. For this reason, I've moved this thread to 'what are you listening to'.

"Thanks" Anart, for the qualification .

John Lennon - Watching The Wheels (Traducida al Español)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDaM9AHAqkY

People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing,
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin,
When I say that I'm o.k. they look at me kind of strange,
Surely your not happy now you no longer play the game,

People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away,
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me,
When I tell that I'm doing Fine watching shadows on the wall,
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball?

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll,
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go,

People asking questions lost in confusion,
Well I tell them there's no problem,
Only solutions,
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind,
I tell them there's no hurry...
I'm just sitting here doing time,

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll,
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go.

I love this guy too -- half the soundtrack material I listen to these days is his. Here's a couple of my recent favorites:

Gaeta's Lament:

And with this, the original place where it aired, which still gives me shivers:

Pictures of you- The cure


This is the clock upon the wall
This is the story of us all
This is the first sound of a newborn child,
Before he starts to crawl
This is the war that’s never won
This is a soldier and his gun
This is the mother waiting by the phone,
Praying for her son

(Chorus)
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Hung upon your wall for the world to see
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Remind us all of what we used to be

There is a drug that cures it all
Blocked by the governmental wall
We are the scientists inside the lab,
Just waiting for the call
This earthquake weather has got me shaking inside
I'm high up and dry

Pictures of you, pictures of me
Hung upon your wall for the world to see
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Remind us all of what we used to be

Confess to me, every secret moment
Every stolen promise you believed
Confess to me, all that lies between us
All that lies between you and me

We are the boxers in the ring
We are the bells that never sing
There is a title we can't win no matter
How hard we might swing

Pictures of you, pictures of me
Hung upon your wall for the world to see
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Remind us all of what we used to be

Pictures of you, pictures of me
Hung upon your wall for the world to see
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Remind us all of what we could have been
