Letra:

Now when i was just a little boy standin' to my daddy's knee
My poppa said son don't let the man get you do what he done to me
'cause he'll get you 'cause he'll get you now now.

I can remember the fourth of july runnin' through the backwood bare.
And i can still hear my old hound dog barkin' chasin' down a hoodoo there
Chasin' down a hoodoo there.

Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou.

Wish i was back on the bayou rollin' with some cajun queen.
Wishin' i were a freight train, oh, just a-chooglin' on down to new orleans.

Born on the bayou

Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou.

I can remember the fourth of july, runnin' through the backwood bare.
And i can still hear my old hound dog barkin', chasin' down a hoodoo there,
Chasin' down a hoodoo there.

Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou.

Have You Ever Seen The Rain?

Letra y música: John Fogerty - Creedence Clearwater Revival (EEUU)

De las canciones que más me gustan de las bandas de habla inglesa que más me gustan. Estreno la presencia de dos bandas que también me gustan mucho y aún no había nada de ellos, como son R.E.M. y Dire Straits. Pido disculpas por incluir a Rod Stewart, si me arrepiento, un día de éstos lo elimino!
Que disfruten!

Letra:

Someone told me long ago
there's a calm before the storm,
i know;
it's been comin' for some time.
when it's over, so they say,
it'll rain a sunny day,
i know;
shinin' down like water.

Chorus: 
i want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
i want to know, have you ever seen the rain
comin' down on a sunny day?

Yesterday, and days before,
sun is cold and rain is hard,
i know;
been that way for all my time.
'Til forever, on it goes
through the circle, fast and slow,
i know; it can't stop, i wonder.
Chorus
yeah!

Down on the corner

Letra:

Early in the evenin' just about supper time,

over by the courthouse they're starting to unwind.

four kids on the corner trying to bring you up.

willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp.

Down on the corner, out in the street,

willy and the poorboys are playin';

bring a nickel; tap your feet.

Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile,

blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while.

poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo.

willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo.

Down on the corner, out in the street,

willy and the poorboys are playin';

bring a nickel; tap your feet.

Down on the corner, out in the street,

willy and the poorboys are playin';

bring a nickel; tap your feet.

You don't need a penny just to hang around,

but if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down?

over on the corner there's a happy noise.

people come from all around to watch the magic boy.

Down on the corner, out in the street,

willy and the poorboys are playin';

bring a nickel; tap your feet.

Down on the corner, out in the street,

willy and the poorboys are playin';

bring a nickel; tap your feet.

Down on the corner, out in the street,

willy and the poorboys are playin';

bring a nickel; tap your feet.

Fortunate Son

Después de Los Beatles, el grupo que más me gusta de habla inglesa es sin dudas Creedence Clearwater Revival. Ahora que estoy haciendo este post me doy cuenta que aún no habían participado de este espacio, quién sabe porque?! Entonces, vamos a enmendar esa ausencia con esta Fortunate Son de los maravillosos Creedence Clearwater Revival. Que las disfruten!

Letra:


Some folks are born to wave the flag,
ooh, they're red, white and blue.
and when the band plays "hail to the chief",
ooh, they point the cannon at you, lord,
It ain't me, it ain't me, i ain't no senator's son, son.
it ain't me, it ain't me; i ain't no fortunate one, no,
yeah!
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
lord, don't they help themselves, oh.
but when the taxman comes to the door,
lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes,
It ain't me, it ain't me, i ain't no millionaire's son, no.
it ain't me, it ain't me; i ain't no fortunate one, no.
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
ooh, they send you down to war, lord,
and when you ask them, "how much should we give?"
ooh, they only answer more! more! more! yoh,
It ain't me, it ain't me, i ain't no military son, son.
it ain't me, it ain't me; i ain't no fortunate one, one.
it ain't me, it ain't me, i ain't no fortunate one, no no no,
it ain't me, it ain't me, i ain't no fortunate son, no no no.
