Vaya Con Dios

Lulus Song

Chains she wears like a crown
For to slavery bound
From the day they have met
Chains that she's dragging around
Never making a sound
From the day she said 'yes'
Chains, to keep her tied to the ground
While he is slipping away
Queen in a glorified cage
With only silence to page
The lonely night long
Wait for the footsteps to fall
For his voice in the hall
Calling her name again
Pray for all the sweetness long gone
When all that's left is the pain
Shame that she's keeping inside
Hiding misery behind
Fancy curtains of lace
Vain, she's hoping in vain
He would kindle the flame
That once burned in his eyes
Rain that beats like time on the pane
When every second's the same
Rain that beats like time on the pane
When every secon's the same
Woman, don't bury that heart of gold
Behind a cold face of stone

Listen

Lay your hands
Off my man
You don't even want him
You just want
What I have
Lay your hands
Off my man
You don't even want him
You just wanna
Take my place
A pretty girl floating in a room
Wrapped in her innocence and her cheap perfume
Fluttering around men like a moth around the light
Think she won't burn herself, well I just think she might
A little girl not a woman yet
Spiteful little eyes that say watch out I'm a threat
Lay your hands
Off my man
You don't even want him
You just want
What I have
Lay your hands
Off my man
Don't you, don't you
Don't you girl, don't you dare
You can call me sweetie and other charming names
Yet you give him the eye while I'm standing next to him
Don't like your ways besides I got my pride
Would you mind me girl stepping aside
Oh! no you don't understand, you're acting amazed
Don't take me for a fool girl, fade away

How We Lose (How We Win)

When he left you
You thought that you would die
You saw the colours fade as he walked away
Your hope is willing
Your heart is crying out
You're just wondering how you will survive

How we lose
How we win
How we choose
As the night begins
You and her
Or me and him
We don't know what life will bring
But I tell you the future is waiting
And someone will find you

You don't know what you're missing, Mister…

Now he's left you
See your tears have dried
Now the colours shine brighter day by day
Your hope is willing
Your heart no longer cries
Skies are clearing the sun is on the rise

No One Can Make You Stay

The storm is getting closer
Till it's over talking louder ain't no use
Discussing from the morning till the evening
Leads you slowly to abuse

Some words are meant to hurt
And cut you deeper than will ever cut the truth
So don't say don't say
I never cared for you
No don't say don't say
I'm disrespecting you
Don't say that you are chained

‘Cos you can always go away
No one can make you stay
Just walk away
Don't wanna see you tamed
But I can say
I've loved you all the way
Until this day

Gotta get it over
‘Cos I can't take it no more

Our love is getting colder
And your shoulder ain't no longer my refuge
The cards are out of order
Every border has been crossed without excuse
These wars are fought for nothing
Can't you see that I am pleading for a truce
So don't say don't say
I never cared for you
Oh don't say don't say
I'm disrespecting you
Don't say that you are chained

Take Heed

The seed you sow
That's what you gonna reap
The seed you sow
That's what you gonna reap
The seed you sow
That's what you gonna reap
The seed you sow
That's what you gonna reap

Mankind take heed
Take heed take heed mankind
Mankind take heed
For the seed you sow mankind
That's what you shall reap
Take heed take heed mankind
Mankind take heed
For the seed you sow mankind
That's what you shall reap

You can't plant corn and reap yam
I said you can't plant corm and reap yam
The fruit from your labour
That's what you gonna eat
The fruit from your labour
That's what you gonna eat

Mankind take heed
Take heed take heed mankind
Mankind take heed
For the seed you sow mankind
That's what you shall reap
Take heed take heed mankind
Mankind take heed
For the seed you sow mankind
That's what you shall reap

From creation
Man has caused destruction
From creation
In every generation
Dispensation

Don’t Deny

The smiles and the glances
How you measure your chances
Don't deny
Don't deny

Strong and pretentious
Blind to my senses
Don't deny
Don't deny
Don't deny me
Don't taint my heart

You deny my fears
You deny my tears
You deny a tender child
You deny my pride
You think I'm defenceless
You take me for granted
You think I'm defenceless
But I will rise above my weakness
You think I'm defenceless
You don't deny the sun
The wind on your face
You don't deny the stars

The lies and the glances
The maddening offences
Don't deny
Don't deny
Retreats and advances
We all know the dances

Ilia

Gone is the man
Who loved his land
More than day
If his heart had to leave
His soul was to stay

Hear them calling
From the mountains
Calling from the plains
Hear the wind
Through the leaves
Singing lonely refrains

Banza banza banza banza ixiámi

Pray for the man
Who left his land
Aching for better days
A man who's heart ‘s
Bound to bleed
For the ones who remain

La Llorona

Todos le dicen el negro, Llorona
Negro pero cariñoso
Todos le dicen el negro, Llorona
Negro pero cariñoso.
Él es como el chile verde, Llorona
Picante pero sabroso.

Ay de mi, Llorona, Llorona, Llorona
Llévame al río.
Tápame con tu rebozo, Llorona
Porque me muero de frío

Cada vez que cae la tarde, Llorona
Me pongo a pensar y digo
De qué me sirve la cama, Llorona
Si él no duerme conmigo

Ay de mi, Llorona, Llorona, Llorona,
Deja de llorar
A ver si llorando puede, Llorona
Mi corazón descansar

Call On Me

If you ever wake up, baby
Tired of running
If the stars you've been reaching for
Are no longer shining
And the moon makes you blue
You can call on me

For so many years now, darling
You've been walking that wire
Filling your emptiness
A slave to desire
When the dancing needs two
You can call on me

The things that I've said sometimes
Have cut you up
But with the truth in my heart
I could never give up now, baby
And you know wrong or right
You'll find
Life is uncertain, baby
One day you're alone
The party is over
Your friends have gone home
And you're feeling the fool
Baby call on me
And I'll be there for you baby
If it makes you feel blue
You can call on me
And no one's gonna hurt you baby
Whatever you do
You can call on me
Anywhere, anytime, baby
You can call on me
Call on me baby
Call on me baby

The things that I've said sometimes
Have cut you up
With the truth in my heart
I could never give up now, baby
And you know wrong or right
Some time
You can call on me
Call on me
Baby, call on me
