El programa de hoy, dedicado a mi gran amigo Seamus (de Sheffield, Inglaterra) y a su hermoza familia. Nos conocimos 1998, en Co.Donegal en un hostel llamado Corcreggan Mill. Desde ese entonces nos vimos realmente muy pocas veces mas (una?) en Buenos Aires, pero siempre estamos en contacto vía email. Seamus, todo el tiempo me manda CDs. En estos tiempos, en los que el Euro está tan caro para nosotros en Argentina, su aporte es INVALORABLE para el programa (y para mi principalmente!) GRACIAS SEAMUS !!!

La música de hoy, es una selección de algunas de las cosas que él me envió en todos estos años...

01 LAU (14'41) (2008) The Long Set
02 PENTANGLE (06'41) (1969) Hunting Song

03 KRIS DREVER (04'04) (2006) Braw Sailin' on the Sea
04 NORTH CREGG (04'08) (2003) The Recruited Collier

What's the matter with you, me lass, and where's your dashing Jimmy?"
"Them soldier boys have picked him up and taken him far from me
Last pay-day he went into town and them red-coated fellows,
Enticed him in and made him drunk, and he'd better gone to the gallows.

The very sight of his cockade, it sets us all a-cryin', And me, I nearly fainted twice - I thought that I was dyin'
Me father said he'd pay the smart and he'd run for the Golden Guinea,
But the sergeant swore he'd kissed the book, so now they've got young Jimmy.

When Jimmy talks about the wars, it's worse than death to hear him.
I must go out and hide me tears, because I cannot bear him.
A Brigadier or a Grenadier he says they're sure to make him,
So now he jibes and cracks his jokes and bids me not forsake him.

As I walked o'er yon stubbled field - below where runs the seam,
I think on Jimmy hewing there, but it was all a dream.
He hewed the very coils we burn, so when this fire I'm leetin',
To think the lumps was in his hands - it sets me heart a-beating'.

So break me heart and then it's o'er, oh break me heart, me dearie,
As I lie in this cold, cold bed, of a single life I'm weary."

09 UNTHANKS (04'05) (2009) The Testimony Of Patience Kershaw

Acá hay un artículo (en Inglés) sobre la historia de esta canción.
Esta versión de la letra la tomé del EXELENTE sitio The Mudcat Café

TESTIMONY OF PATIENCE KERSHAW
(Frank Higgins)

It's good of you to ask me, Sir, to tell you how I spend my days
Down in a coal black tunnel, Sir, I hurry corves to earn my pay.
The corves are full of coal, kind Sir, I push them with my hands and head.
It isn't lady-like, but Sir, you've got to earn your daily bread.

I push them with my hands and head, and so my hair gets worn away.
You see this baldy patch I've got, it shames me like I just can't say.
A lady's hands are lily white, but mine are full of cuts and segs.
And since I'm pushing all the time, I've got great big muscles on my legs.

I try to be respectable, but sir, the shame, God save my soul.
I work with naked, sweating men who curse and swear and hew the coal.
The sights, the sounds, the smells, kind Sir, not even God could know my pain.
I say my prayers, but what's the use? Tomorrow will be just the same.

Now, sometimes, Sir, I don't feel well, my stomach's sick, my head it aches.
I've got to hurry best I can. My knees are weak, my back near breaks.
And then I'm slow, and then I'm scared these naked men will batter me.
But they're not to blame, for if I'm slow, their families will starve, you see.

Now all the lads, they laugh at me, and Sir, the mirror tells me why.
Pale and dirty can't look nice. It doesn't matter how hard I try.
Great big muscles on my legs, a baldy patch upon my head.
A lady, Sir? Oh, no, not me! I should've been a boy instead.

I praise your good intentions, Sir, I love your kind and gentle heart
But now it's 1842, and you and I, we're miles apart.
A hundred years and more will pass before we're standing side by side
But please accept my grateful thanks. God bless you Sir, at least you tried.

From the "Generations" CD, by Sally Rogers. This CD has yet another version of the Sojourner Truth speech, along with a number of other powerful songs.
Sally's notes say that the words to this song are derived from a transcript of testimony gathered by the Ashley Mines Committee from 17-yr-old Patience Kershaw in 1842. By then, Patience had worked in the mines for most of her life, the effects of which are clear in this song.... The song was written by Englishman Frank Higgins, whom Sally was unable to locate.

06 SLIDE (04'22) See Thru Blue

Such a bloody disgrace, you keep hiding your face, afraid it might show through.
Can't see through, blue.
Life's meaning's misplaced, deep within your own space,
Let me in too.

Chorus
I can see from where you are, I'm your witness, you're my star
Up above shining bright, how is it you feel so shite.

Tears ripple clear water, reflects beauty distorted, surface deep it's not even true.
Can't see through, blue.
Lost grip with the border, volumes flowing all over,
Please keep afloat.

Chorus

Pull away, your pupil's vacuum has no shore.
You couldn't care less, I couldn't care more.

You conceal it with grace, but that won't help displace, the weight that's killing you.
Can't see through, blue.
Don't have your mother's black lace, suck the light from this place,
Please see it through.

Chorus

Author's Note
The Celtic Tiger may have left some people behind and created some new fat cats but for most it means working ridiculously hard to feed the tiger. This can stretch beyond what is humanly possible and result in problems like stress and depression. Modern Ireland may have new found comforts and money but at what price, our best people and loved ones may end up exploited to the detriment of their health.

Mas o menos, lo de arriba, quiere decir esto:

El Tigre Celta pudo haber dejado alguna gente atrás y creado algunos nuevos peces gordos, pero para la mayoría significa trabajar ridículamente duro para alimentar al tigre. Esto puede sobrepasar los límites de lo humanamente posible y resultar en problemas como el stress o la depresión. La Irlanda moderna pudo haber encontrado nuevos lujos y dinero pero a que precio? Nuestra mejor gente y seres amados pueden terminar siendo exlotados en detrimento de su propia salud.

“Slide successfully combined the qualities of traditional Irish music with contemporary musical ideas. They are exceptionally talented and their music has both grace and power”, said celebrated Irish musician-producer Donal Lunny

"Slide combina exitosamente las cualidades de la música tradicional irlandesa con idéas musicales contemporaneas. Son excepcionalmente talentosos y su música tiene tanto gracia como energía" dijo el popular músico y productor Donal Lunny

Si querés ver mas vidéos, en su página oficial, hay algunos mas.

Y por último (también tomado de su página web) una pequeña bio (por ahora sólo en ingles... perdon!)

The Irish Times calls SLIDE(IRELAND) “traditional musicians with attitude” and credits the group with “bringing drawing room grandeur and high spirits together” with it’s diverse songs ,which range from soulful and sorrowful to contagiously energetic. Folk Roots Magazine proclaims,”There’s plenty of action and flamboyance in Slides’s music,” which merges “swagger with traditional expertise.”

This rollicking band’s origins date back to Ireland in 1999,when Slide performed in various pubs for a local music festival in Bandon, Co. Cork. The group’s intoxicating music easily won over the crowd, which demanded more of the unique and colourful sound. The positive reaction inspired Slide to release The Flying Pig, which Irish Music Magaize hailed as “beautifully recorded, to preserve the brilliance and clarity of solo and ensemble playing that is positively mind-blowing.” The publication awarded Slide its Best Newcomer distinction in 2001, leading to gigs for the band throughout Europe.

In its insightful second album Harmonic Motion, Slide celebrates self-exploration and collective innovation in a series of self-penned songs that drew critical appraise. The record showcases a variety of clever arrangements – from sensitive whistle harmonies to driving, high-powered strings – and captivating lyrics that Irish Music Magazine calls “inventive and provocative.” The publication adds,

“The melodies and musicianship are first-rate. …[Slide] can sing, they can write, they can dance across fingerboards and piano keys, buttons, and bows, and by crikey they can play.”

The album attracted the attention of renowned Irish talents including Grammy-winning composer Bill Whelan, singers and songwriters Liam Clancy, Damien Dempsey and John Spillane, Danú and the Progressive group Stocktons Wing- who eventually recruited Slide for their own music projects.

In 2005, Slide – which consists of concertina virtuoso Aogán Lynch, fiddler-guitarist Daire Bracken, bouzouki and mandolin player Mick Broderick, pianist-flautist Éamonn de Barra – won the Young Musicwide Award. Developed in 2001 by the Arts Council of Ireland, Young Musicwide encourages young people to pursue professional careers in traditional Irish Music, Chamber Music,and Jazz and gives promoters access to the best Irish talents. “Slide successfully combined the qualities of traditional Irish music with contemporary musical ideas. They are exceptionally talented and their music has both grace and power”, said celebrated Irish musician-producer Donal Lunny, who helped judge the competition.

Overneath is their third studio album and saw the band hone their creative abilities. It is an exciting addition to Slide’s previous two recordings with receiving great critical acclaim.

Slide have recently been joined by the greatly talented Galwegian, Dave Curley who joined the group for their hugely successful 2008 US Tours. An expanded line up has provided for an even larger live sound with great new additions in songs and dance. For their fourth CD venture Slide bypassed the studio and recorded where their fans are always most excited, live from the stage.

Leaving sweet lovely Derry for fair London town,
There is no finer harbour all around can be found,
Where the youngster's each evening go down to the shore,
And the joy bells are ringing for the maid of Culmore.

The first time I saw her she passed me by,
And the next time that I saw her she bid me goodbye,
But the last time I saw her it breke my heart sore,
For she sailed out of Ireland and away from Culmore.

If I had the power the storms for to rise,
I would make the wind blow out and I'd darken the skies,
I would make the wind blow high and the salt seas to roar,
For the day that my darling sailed away from Culmore.

To the bd part's of Americay my love I 'll go seek,
For it's there I know no-one and no-one knows me,
But if don't find her I'll return home no more,
Like a pilgrim I'll wander for the maid of Culmore.

tres canciones de amor por Andy Irvine...
10 ANDY IRVINE (03'59) (1983) At Twenty-One

At twenty-one I first begun
To court my neighbor's child
We both being young and full of fun
Bright Phoebus on us smiled
We both being young and full of fun
Right well we did agree
'Twas well I knew she would prove true
And loyal unto me.

At twenty-two no man could view
All the beauty that this maid possessed
Her curling hair in ringlets fair
Hung down her snow white breast
The picture of her two blue eyes
My pencil cannot tell
Her effigy no hand could draw
Nor paint her parallel
At twenty-four I did adore
This beautiful young fair maid
When she gave her hand
To a rich young man
Alas but I was poor
They sailed away across the sea
And left me here to mourn
That bright May day she sailed away
Never more for to return

como siempre, esto es "solo una idéa" de la letra en español...

A los veintiun años comence a cortejar a una chica de mi barrio.
Siendo los dos jóvenes y llenos de alegria. Febo nos sonreía.
Siendo los jóvenes y llenos de alegria, acordamos…
y fue así como supe que nos seríamos fieles y leales.

A los veintidos años, era imposible ver tanta
belleza como la que esta dama poseía.
Su cabello rizado colgaba en bucles sobre
su pecho, blanco como la nieve.
Mi pluma no podria describir la imagen de sus ojos azules.
Ninguna mano sería capaz de dibujar su silueta o pintar algo tan bello.

A los veinticuatro años adoraba a esa mujer,
cuando le dio su mano a un joven rico, por que yo era pobre…

Navegaron cruzando el mar y me dejaron aquí
para lamentarme.
Aquella mañana de Mayo, ella
partió para nunca mas volver.

11 ANDY IRVINE AND MICK HANLY IRISH FOLK FEST (05'50) Bonnie Woodhall

la letra la tome de acá

Down by yon green bushes near Calder's clear stream
Where me and my Annie so often have been
When the hours that flew past us, right happy were we
It was little she thought that a soldier I'd be

But it's farewell to Annie and I must away
For the King he needs soldiers and I must obey
But if providence prove kind love until I return
I will wed with my Annie near Calder's clear burn

On the fourteenth of August our regiment was lost
And a ball from the enemy our lines came across
O it struck me in the temple and the blood trickled down
I reeled and I staggered and I fell to the ground

Come here, says our captain, come here with good speed
For I fear by this bullet young Dinsmore lies dead
Two men with a stretcher did quickly prepare
And they carried me away to a hospital there

Cold water and brandy they poured out so free
They turned me all over my wounds for to see
But if I had my Annie to bind up my wounds
One kiss from her sweet lips would soon deaden the stoun

And it's when I am weary and think on lang syne
When I was a miner and wrought in the mine
O the tears they do trickle and down they do fall
Like the roses that bloom around bonnie Woodhall

12 PLANXTY (05'21) (1972) As I Roved Out (Andy)

la letra la tomé de acá

As I roved out on a bright May morning
To view the meadows and flowers gay
Whom should I spy but my own true lover
As she sat under yon willow tree

I took off my hat and I did salute her
I did salute her most courageously
When she turned around well the tears fell from her
Sayin' "False young man, you have deluded me

A diamond ring I owned I gave you
A diamond ring to wear on your right hand
But the vows you made, love, you went and broke them
And married the lassie that had the land"

"If I'd married the lassie that had the land, my love
It's that I'll rue till the day I die
When misfortune falls sure no man can shun it
I was blindfolded I'll ne'er deny"

Now at nights when I go to my bed of slumber
The thoughts of my true love run in my mind
When I turned around to embrace my darling
Instead of gold sure it's brass I find

And I wish the Queen would call home her army
From the West Indies, Amerikay and Spain
And every man to his wedded woman
In hopes that you and I will meet again.

-------------------------------------------------------------
recorded by Planxty on "The Well Below The Valley" (1973) and
performed by Richard Thompson live 1990

There are two songs of this name on that Planxty album, this
is the one sung by Andy Irvine.

"We learned this sad and beautiful song from the singing of Paddy
Tunney who lives in Letterkenny, Co. Donegal. He has described it
as dating back to the days of the famine, when any bit of property
at all was enough to tempt a man to jilt his true love in favour
of the 'lassie with the land'" - Andy Irvine

The last verse seems slightly displaced and doesn't really fit
with the rest.

In iníon d'aoire mé féinig gan amhras
Do bhíodh ina cónaí cois taobh na Leamhna
Bhí bothán agam féin ann is fuinneog i gceann de
Fad a bhíodh an bainne ag téamh agam
'Sea ghlaofainn ar na gamhna

Curfá:
Aililiú na gamhna, na gamhna bána
Aililiú na gamhna, na gamhna b'iad a b'fhearr liom
Aililiú na gamhna, na gamhna geala bána
Na gamhna maidin shamhraidh ag damhsa ar na bánta

Faightear dom cana is faightear dom bhuarach
Is faightear dom soitheach ina gcuirfead mo chuid uachtair
Ceolta sí na cruinne bheith á síorchur i m'chluasa
Ba bhinne liomsa géimneach na mbó ag teacht chun buaile

Curfá

Rachaimid ar an aonach is ceannóimid gamhna
Is cuirfimid ar féar iad amach ins na gleannta
Íosfaidh siad an féar is barr an aitinn ghallda
Is tiocfaidh siad abhaile chun an bhainne i gcóir an tSamhraidh

Curfá

I'm a herdsman's daughter, sure enough
Who once lived down by the banks of the Laune
I had a cabin there, a window in the gable
While I heated the milk
I called in the calves

Chorus:
Aililiú the calves, the pretty calves,
Aililiú the calves, I loved them the best
Aililiú the calves, the fine pretty calves
Dancing in the meadow on a a clear summer's morning

Get me a can and get me a ladle
Get me a vessel to take all the cream
The magic music of the world always around me
But sweeter sounding still the lowing of the cattle to the parlor

Chorus

Let us go to the fair and buy us some calves
Put them to grass out above in the valleys
They'll eat all the grass and the tufts of the strange gorse
And come home for the milk at the start of the summer

Chorus

07 Kate Burke & Ruth Hazleton (05'20) The Wreck of the Dandenong

Oh, wild and furious blew the blast
And the clouds were hanging round
When the Dandenong from Melbourne sailed
For Newcastle port was bound
With eighty-three poor souls on board
Through the storm she cleaved her way
And it's sad to relate of the terrible fate
'Twas just off Jervis Bay

And I dream of you, I dream of sleep
I dream of being warm
But through the night I have to sail
To brave this raging storm

While steaming through the briny waves
Her propelling shaft gave way
And the waters they came pressing in
Which filled them with dismay
All hands on board did all they could
Till at length all hope was gone
And they hoisted a signal of distress
On board of the Dandenong

It was not long ubtil a barque
A brisk and lively crew
Came bearing down and the Captain cried
"We'll see what we can do!"
Came bearing down with might and main
In spite of wind or wave
They did all they could as sailors would
Those precious lives to save

And I dream of you, I dream of sleep
I dream of being warm
I'm afraid the sea won't leave me be
To see another dawn

While some in boats they tried to reach
That kind and friendly barque
And numbers of their lives were saved
And then the night came on pitch dark
What mortal man then could do more
When the storm increased on strong
And the rest now sleep in the briny deep
Along with the Dandenong.

And I dream of you, I dream of sleep
I dream of coming home
Tonight the water buries me
Beneath this raging foam

And I dream of you, I dream of sleep
I dream of being warm
But through the night I have to sail
To brave this raging storm

12 MADDY PRIOR & THE GIRLS (08'37) (2005) Meeting Point

Time was away, and somewhere else,
There were two glasses and two chairs
And two people with the one pulse
(Somebody stopped the moving stairs):
Time was away and somewhere else.

And they were neither up nor down;
The stream's music did not stop
Flowing through heather, limpid brown,
Although they sat in a coffee shop
And they were neither up nor down.

The bell was silent in the air
Holding its inverted poise -
Between the clang and clang a flower,
A brazen calyx of no noise:
The bell was silent in the air.

The camels crossed the miles of sand
That stretched around the cups and plates;
The desert was their own, they planned
To portion out the stars and dates:
The camels crossed the miles of sand.

Time was away and somewhere else.
The waiter did not come, the clock
Forgot them and the radio waltz
Came out like water from a rock:
Time was away and somewhere else.

Her fingers flicked away the ash
That bloomed again in tropic trees:
Not caring if the markets crash
When they had forests such as these,
Her fingers flicked away the ash.

God or whatever means the Good
Be praised that time can stop like this,
That what the heart has understood
Can verify in the body's peace
God or whatever means the Good.

Time was away and she was here
And life no longer what it was,
The bell was silent in the air
And all the room one glow because
Time was away and she was here.

Como siempre... esto es sólo una idea de la letra en castellano:

El tiempo estaba ausente, en algún otro lugar,
Había dos vasos, dos sillas y dos personas con el mismo pulso
(Alguien detuvo las escaleras mecánicas)
El tiempo estaba ausente, en algún otro lugar

No estaban ni alegres ni tristes,
La música del arroyo no paraba de fluir a través del brezo, marrón límpido,
Aunque ellos estaban en un café, ni alegres ni trustes.

La campana estaba callada en el aire
Sosteniendo su postura invertida entre clang y clang
Una flor, un cáliz de bronce mudo
La campana estaba callada en el aire

Los camellos cruzaban las millas de arena que se extendían en torno de las tazas y platos;
El desierto era de ellos, planeaban repartirse las estrellas y los días. Los camellos cruzaban las millas de arena.

El tiempo estaba ausente, en algún otro lugar.
El mozo no venía, el reloj los olvidaba y la música de la radio surgía como agua de una roca:
El tiempo estaba ausente, en algún otro lugar.

Sus dedos sacudieron la ceniza, que florecía nuevamente en árboles tropicales:
A quien le importa si los mercados colapsaban, teniendo semejantes bosques?
Sus dedos sacudieron la ceniza

Dios, o lo que quiera que significa el Bien, sea Alabado por que el tiempo pueda detenerse así,
Y porque lo que el corazón ha entendido, pueda verificarse en la paz del cuerpo,
Dios o lo que quiera que significa el Bien.

El tiempo estaba ausente, en algún otro lugar,
Y la vida ya no fue más lo que era,
La campana permanecía silenciosa en el aire
Y todo el salón resplandecía porque
El tiempo se había ido y ella estaba aquí.

Esta versión de la letra, la tomé de acá. No es exactamente la verisión que pasamos, pero por lo menos se entiende la historia...

La mañana de San Juan - al tiempo que alboreaba,
gran fiesta hacen los moros - por la vega de Granada.
Revolviendo sus caballos - y jugando de las lanzas,
ricos pendones en ellas - broslados por sus amadas,
ricas marlotas vestidas - tejidas de oro y grana.
El moro que amores tiene - señales de ello mostraba,
y el que no tenía amores - allí no escarmuzaba.
Las damas moras los miran - de las torres de la Alhambra,
también se los mira el rey - de dentro de la Alcazaba.
Dando voces vino un moro - con la cara ensangrantada:
- Con tu licencia, el rey, - te daré una nueva mala:
el infante don Fernando - tiene a Antequera ganada;
muchos moros deja muertos, - yo soy quien mejor librara,
siete lanzadas yo traigo, - el cuerpo todo me pasan,
los que conmigo escaparon - en Archidona quedaban.
Con la tal nueva el rey - la cara se le demudaba;
manda juntar sus trompetas - que toquen todas el arma,
manda juntar a los suyos, - hace muy gran cabalgada,
y a las puertas de Alcalá, - que la Real se llamaba,
los crisitianos y los moros - una escaramuza traban.
Los cristianos eran muchos, - mas llevaban orden mala,
los moros, que son de guerra, - dádoles han mala carga,
de ellos matan, de ellos prenden, - de ellos toman en celada.
Con la victoria, los moros - van la vuelta de Granada;
a grandes voces decían: - -¡La victoria ya es cobrada!

07 CHRISTY MOORE (04'29) gortatagort - La historia de la canción, tomada de acá

A nice story about a song and a farm -- by John Spillane.

I wrote a song called GORTATAGORT (THE FARM), about the farm where my mother comes from in Bantry, County Cork. I named all the fields in the song and tried to capture the feeling of the place. I spent all my holidays there when I was a boy.

Anyway … Christy Moore, the great Irish folk singer, got on to me and was really into the song, said it moved him deeply, and asked if I would be comfortable with him singing it. Well, I said, it would be a great honour for me and for my family if he sang that song.

Well, I invited Christy to visit the place and we met in the Colomane Bar and went up to visit the farm. We were met by three generations of women and had a lovely visit to the farmhouse. We had high tea. Then Aunty Mary played some tunes on the fiddle -- "The Red River Valley", some Waltzes and a Slide -- then I sang Gortatagort in the kitchen at Gortatagort with the clock ticking away time on the wall. Then Aunty Chrissie cried inconsolably; then Christy Moore sang the Cliffs of Dooneen. Then I took Christy on a walk around the farm and showed him all the places in the song. It was a really lovely day.

Great excitement being in touch with Christy about this song. He really studied it deeply and was living and breathing it, walking around inside in my song. I love it.

This is the third song of mine that Christy Moore has done, the first two being "Johnny Don't Go To Ballincollig" and "Magic Nights in the Lobby Bar".

Happy days in the Hit Factory. Another ball in the back of the net!

Delighted!

John Spillane

I Sing the Fields I sing the Farm
I Sing the House my Mother was Born
In Gortatagort, Colomane
A Green Jewel

Sewn in a Patchwork Quilt of Fields
Between the Mountain and the River
In this Time now, and in Another
Where I ran Free with my Brothers

Through the Long Meadow, the Cnocán Rua,
The Fort Field, the Páirc na Claise,
The New House Field, the Gallán Field,
The Clover Field, the Rushy Field

Where the Red Fuschia weeps in the Hen’s Garden
And the Angels bleed over Bantry Bay

I see the House I see the Yard
I see the Stall I see the Stable
I see the Haggard and the Hen’s garden
I see the Hill I see the Well

I Sing the Spring and the Well water
The Flat field, the Hilly field
The South Ray Grass, the North Ray Grass
The Brake, and the Páircín na hEornan

Where the red fuschia weeps in the Hen’s Garden
And where God goes to sleep in the Hills and Valleys
And the Moon rises over the Haggard
And Peace descends on Gortatagort
And the Angels bleed over Bantry Bay

Ah saddle up the old Gray Mare
Tim Big Danny, and Jackie Timmy
Are going to ride across the Mountains to Puck Fair

I Sing the Fields I sing the Farm
I Sing the House my Mother was Born
In Gortatagort, Colomane

A GREEN JEWEL.

08 JONI MITCHELL (06'01) (1976) Amelia - Canción inspirada en Amelia Earhart (wikipedia)

I was driving across the burning desert
When I spotted six jet planes
Leaving six white vapor trails across the bleak terrain
It was the hexagram of the heavens
It was the strings of my guitar
Amelia, it was just a false alarm

The drone of flying engines
Is a song so wild and blue
It scrambles time and seasons if it gets thru to you
Then your life becomes a travelogue
Of picture-post-card-charms
Amelia, it was just a false alarm

People will tell you where theyve gone
Theyll tell you where to go
But till you get there yourself you never really know
Where some have found their paradise
Others just come to harm
Oh amelia, it was just a false alarm

I wish that he was here tonight
Its so hard to obey
His sad request of me to kindly stay away
So this is how I hide the hurt
As the road leads cursed and charmed
I tell amelia, it was just a false alarm

A ghost of aviation
She was swallowed by the sky
Or by the sea, like me she had a dream to fly
Like icarus ascending
On beautiful foolish arms
Amelia, it was just a false alarm

Maybe Ive never really loved
I guess that is the truth
Ive spent my whole life in clouds at icy altitude
And looking down on everything
I crashed into his arms
Amelia, it was just a false alarm

I pulled into the cactus tree motel
To shower off the dust
And I slept on the strange pillows of my wanderlust
I dreamed of 747s
Over geometric farms
Dreams, amelia, dreams and false alarms

10 SOLAS (03'21) (1996) The newry highwayman

In Newry town, I was bred and born,
In Stephen's Green now I lie in scorn.
I served me time at the saddling trade,
I always was a roving blade.

At seventeen I took a wife,
I loved her dearer than I loved me life;
And so to keep her both fine and gay
I went out robbing on the King's highway.

I never robbed a poor man yet,
Nor lately caused anyone to fret.
But I robbed lords and ladies fine
I carried the gold unto me heart's delight.

I robbed Lord Golding I do declare,
And Lady Mansel, up in Grosvenor Square;
I closed the shutters and bid them good night.
I carried the gold unto me heart's delight.

To Covent Garden I made my way,
With me dear wife for to see the play;
Lord Fielding's gang they did me pursue,
And I was taken by that cursed crew.

My father cried, "Now, my darling son."
My wife she cried, "Now, I am undone."
My mother tore her white locks and cried,
"It's in the cradle I should have died."

When I am dead, I want for my grave
A flashy funeral pray let me have;
Six highwaymen for to carry me.
Oh give them broadswords and sweet liberty.

He stands with his head in his hands
In the corridor in A&E
He couldn't resucitate her
And now he'll go home to his wife for tea

We sing as the sky falls down
We sing as the sky collapses
And make what we can of this
It's okay, we're all going to end up dead and gone

He crawls into her aorta
To pull him out of his reverie
And mentally puts her back together
With sticks and glue until she breathes

He crawls like a rat inside her spine
It's a passage to another world
He pulls on a coat of new born skin
And sends a secret message to that girl

Positions himself in space
And looks down on such slight a thing
Swears he'll make what he can of this
Because one day out there we will all be dead

So leave your imprint upon
All the atoms you press against
All the people you press against
Because one day out there we will all be
Leave your imprint upon
Every mouth that you press against
Every word that you press against
It's okay because one day we will be dead

Come and join with Captain Coulston, that hero stout and bold
Who fought his way all on the sea and never was controlled
For six long weeks in the summer gales we sailed upon the sea
All bound for New York City, that city fair to see.

The captain and his lady they came on deck each day
To help us with our merriment, going to Amerikay
The merriment being over we're going to bed one night
The captain he came upon deck to see if all was right.

He said my boys do not go down you need not think on sleep
For in a few hours more we shall be slumbering in the deep
For a pirate ship is coming down upon the western sea
to rob us of our property going to Amerikay

The pirate ship came up to us and ordered us to stand
Your gold and precious loading this moment I demand
Your gold and precious loading resign to me this day
Or not a soul you'll ever bring unto Amerikay

The battle it commenced, brave boys, and blood in streams did flow
While undaunted did our passengers the pirate overthrow
The cries of women and children lying in the hull below
While the captain and his passengers the pirate did overthrow

The pirate ship surrendered just by the break of day
And we brought her as a bounty unto Amerikay

Farewell, farewell to you who would hear
You lonely travellers all
The cold north wind will blow again
The winding road does call

And will you never return to see
Your bruised and beaten sons?
"Oh, I would, I would, if welcome I were
For they love me, every one"

And will you never cut the cloth
Or drink the light to be?
And can you never swear a year
To anyone of we?

"No, I will never cut the cloth
Or drink the light to be
But I'll swear a year to one who lies
Asleep along side of me"

Farewell, farewell to you who would hear
You lonely travellers all
The cold north wind will blow again
The winding road does call

04 DERVISH (05'30) (2004) Boots of Spanish Leather

Oh, I'm sailin' away my own true love,
I'm sailin' away in the morning.
Is there something I can send you from across the sea,
From the place that I'll be landing?

No, there's nothin' you can send me, my own true love,
There's nothin' I wish to be ownin'.
Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled,
From across that lonesome ocean.

Oh, but I just thought you might want something fine
Made of silver or of golden,
Either from the mountains of Madrid
Or from the coast of Barcelona.

Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean,
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss,
For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.

That I might be gone a long time
And it's only that I'm askin',
Is there something I can send you to remember me by,
To make your time more easy passin'.

Oh, how can, how can you ask me again,
It only brings me sorrow.
The same thing I want from you today,
I would want again tomorrow.

I got a letter on a lonesome day,
It was from her ship a-sailin',
Saying I don't know when I'll be comin' back again,
It depends on how I'm a-feelin'.

Well, if you, my love, must think that-a-way,
I'm sure your mind is roamin'.
I'm sure your heart is not with me,
But with the country to where you're goin'.

So take heed, take heed of the western wind,
Take heed of the stormy weather.
And yes, there's something you can send back to me,
Spanish boots of Spanish leather

La idéa (no es una traducción!) de la letra en castellano

Mi amor, mañana por la mañana partiré a navegar a traves del oceano, Hay algo que te pueda traer de las tierras lejanas en donde desembarcaré?

No… no hay nada que me me puedas enviar, salvo a mi amado. No hay nada que desee tener. Sólo vuelve sano y salvo del solitario océano

Ohh… pero pensé que te gustaría tener algo, quizá de plata u oro… Ya sea de las montañas de Madrid o de la costa de Barcelona.

Oh… pero si tuviera las estrellas de la noche mas oscura y los diamantes del mar mas profundo, los cambiaría por tus dulces besos, ya que es todo lo que deseo tener.

Pero puedo estar lejos por un buen tiempo, y todo lo que te pregunto es si habrá algo te pueda enviar para que me recuerdes. Para hacer que tu tiempo pase mas facilmente.

Como puedes preguntármelo de nuevo? Sólo me da tristeza. Lo mismo que te pido hoy, te pediré mañana…

Recibi una carta, un día solitario. Era de un barco en altamar y decia "no se cuando volveré depende de cómo me sienta"

Bueno, si es asi como piensas, estoy segura que tu mente esta vagando y tu corazon no está conmigo, sino con el país al cual está yendo.

Así que cuíidate de viento del oeste, y de las tormentas… Y si… hay algo que me puedes enviar… Botas de cuero de España…

Had do we cope
With the days after a death?
Empty days, nothing left
Not even a funeral

I see shapes falling inside
Paintings
Animals and humans, row upon row
Walking toward something
Waiting for something

I'm looking for an answer,
Me and a million others
Disbelievers
Deserted lovers
Dear God,
You better not let me down this time

Cracks in the canvas
Look like roads
That never end

11 RADICAL FACE (2006) Let The River In
12 SOAP&SKIN (05'43) (2009) Cry Wolf
13 THE DIVINE COMEDY (04'24) (2006) the light of day

I found a photograph of you and me
Drinking sangria somewhere by the sea
There's laughter in our eyes and dreams in our hearts
Before life waded in and tore it all apart

When there's no more lies to hide behind
And no more tears to cry
I know we'll be alright
'Cause even though the skies above are cold and grey
I'm sure tomorrow we will see the light of day

I found some letters from a happier time
I smelled the scented pages and re-read the lines
Why must the summer always turn into the fall?
Why must we lose love to ever know love at all?

When there's no more lies to hide behind
And no more tears to cry
I know we'll be alright
'Cause even though the skies above are cold and grey
I'm sure tomorrow we will see the light of day

The light of day shining through our window pane
