Miriam Makeba - Chove Chuva
Szavanna August 20th, 2009
Chove chuva
Chove sem parar
Chove chuva
Chove sem parar
Pois eu vou fazer uma prece
Prá Deus, nosso Senhor
Prá chuva parar
De molhar o meu divino amor
Que é muito lindo
É mais que o infinito
É puro e belo
Inocente como a flor
(2x):
Por favor, chuva ruim
Não molhe mais
O meu amor assim
Chove chuva
Chove sem parar
Chove chuva
Chove sem parar

Koos kombuis- Lisa se klavier
Szavanna August 14th, 2009
Here is a real classic with beautiful pictures of South Africa:
Koos Kombuis - Lisa Se Klavier
——————————
G Em
Ek het ‘n vriendin ver by die blou see
G
Teen die hang van Tafelberg
Em
As die son sak
G
Speel sy die mooiste melodiëe
Haar vingers ken die pad opgesluit in wit en swart
Die klavier se grootste vreugde
hartseer en verlange
verstaan die hart se diepste smart
G Am
Ja, die hele wereld word stil, en luister in die donker uur
D Em
Na die naggeluide van Lisa se Klavier
En Lisa kannie ophou as sy eers begin het nie,
En sy laat my nooit huistoe loop
Of afskeid neem
Voor my laaste sigaret nie
Ek staan op haar balkon, ek drink haar appelkoostee
Kyk uit na Kaapstad in die nag
Die liggies, en die swart
Swart see
Ja, die hele wereld word stil, en luister in die donker uur
Na die naggeluide van Lisa se Klavier
Ja, die hele wereld word stil, en luister in die donker uur
Na die naggeluide van Lisa se Klavier
En onder op die sypaadjie
Sien ek die bergie en sy maat
Staan op en opkyk ver na bo
Vannuit die vullis van Oranjestraat
Hul ken al lank die klanke
Wat uit haar woonstel stroom
Lank na twaalf, met die deure oop
Al moan die bure ookal hoe
Word Lisa elke boemelaar se droom

Paul Simon - The boy in the bubble
Szavanna August 12th, 2009
The Boy in the Bubble
It was a slow day,
And the sun was beating
On the soldiers by the side of the road,
There was a bright light,
A shattering of shop windows
The bomb in the baby carriage
Was wired to the radio,
These are the days of miracle and wonder,
This is the long distance call,
The way the camera follows us in slo-mo
The way we look to us all,
The way we look to a distant constellation
That’s dying in a corner of the sky,
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don’t cry baby don’t cry
Don’t cry,
(Pause)
It was a dry wind,
And it swept across the desert
And it curled into the circle of birth,
And the dead sand,
Falling on the children
The mothers and the fathers
And the automatic earth,
These are the days of miracle and wonder,
This is the long distance call,
The way the camera follows us in slo-mo
The way we look to us all o-yeah,
The way we look to a distant constellation
That’s dying in a corner of the sky,
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don’t cry baby don’t cry
Don’t cry
(Pause)
It’s a turn-around jump shot
It’s everybody jump start
It’s, every generation throws a hero up the pop charts,
Medicine is magical and magical is art think of
The Boy in the Bubble
And the baby with the baboon heart
And I believe
These are the days of lasers in the jungle,
Lasers in the jungle somewhere,
Staccato signals of constant information,
A loose affiliation of millionaires
And billionaires and baby,
These are the days of miracle and wonder,
This is the long distance call,
The way the camera follows us in slo-mo
The way we look to us all o-yeah,
The way we look to a distant constellation
That’s dying in a corner of the sky,
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don’t cry baby don’t cry
Don’t cry don’t cry
oooooooooEmmmmmmmmmmm……..

Original from
Third World Child (1987)
Chorus : (2x)
Asimbonanga (We have not seen him)
Asimbonang’ uMandela thina (We have not seen Mandela)
Laph’ekhona (In the place where he is)
Laph’ehleli khona (In the place where he is kept)
Oh the sea is cold and the sky is grey
Look across the Island into the Bay
We are all islands till comes the day
We cross the burning water
Chorus :
Asimbonanga (We have not seen him)
Asimbonang’ uMandela thina (We have not seen Mandela)
Laph’ekhona (In the place where he is)
Laph’ehleli khona (In the place where he is kept)
A seagull wings across the sea
Broken silence is what I dream
Who has the words to close the distance
Between you and me
Chorus :
Asimbonanga (We have not seen him)
Asimbonang’ uMandela thina (We have not seen Mandela)
Laph’ekhona (In the place where he is)
Laph’ehleli khona (In the place where he is kept)
Steve Biko
