Santa María, Strela do día, móstra-nos vía pera Déus e nos guía. Ca veer | faze-los errados que perder | foran per pecados entender | de que mui culpados son; mais per | ti son perdõados da ousadía que lles fazía fazer folía mais que non devería. Santa María... Amostrar- | nos deves carreira por gãar | en toda maneira a sen par | luz e verdadeira que tu dar- | nos pódes senlleira; ca Déus a ti a outorgaría e a querría por ti dar e daría. Santa María... Guïar ben | nos pód' o téu siso mais ca ren | pera Paraíso u Déus ten | sempre goi' e riso pora quen | en el creer quiso; e prazer-m-ía se te prazía que foss' a mía alm' en tal compannía. Santa María... Santa María...

El Condor Pasa 04:31
lyrics

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail, yes I would, if I could, I surely would. Away, I'd rather sail away like a swan that's here and gone. A man gets tied up to the ground, he gives the world its saddest sound, its saddest sound. I'd rather be a hammer than a nail, yes I would, if I only could, I surely would. Away, I'd rather sail away like a swan that's here and gone. A man gets tied up to the ground, he gives the world its saddest sound, its saddest sound. I'd rather be a forest than a street, yes I would, if I could, I surely would. Away, I'd rather sail away like a swan that's here and gone. A man gets tied up to the ground, he gives the world its saddest sound, its saddest sound. I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet, yes I would, if I only could, I surely would.

Oh Katie dear go ask your mother If you can be a bride of mine If she says yes come back and tell me If she says no we'll run away Oh Willie dear there's no use in asking She's in her room and taking rest And by her side is a silver dagger To slay the one that I love best Oh Katie dear go ask your father If you can be a bride of mine If he says yes come back and tell me If he says no we'll run away Oh Willie dear there's no use in asking He's in his room, taking rest And by his side there's a silver dagger To slay the one that I love best Now she picks up that silver dagger And stowed it through her lily white breast Saying goodbye mama goodbye papa I'll die with the one that I love best Now he picks up that bloody dagger And stowed it through his breaking heart Saying goodbye Katie goodbay lover Now for ever we must part

My love has been complicated too. Go away and I will stay complicated too. Gemini is looking in, your libra is too. Why have we sinned? Will our love prove true? I'd rather die... and cry... Than loose you, My love.

The Abby's Garden 04:06
lyrics

The murder of my love , it knocked me down And I will lie abd weep upon this ground And until the darkness takes the light I will let my sorrow fill the night. The tears that stream down my weeping face They puddle til the dirt, it pulls them down My sorrow and the moonlight intertwine A Witch's brew absorbed into the ground A rose in the moonlight A rose, black as coal A rose in the Moonlight And in the Abby's garden it does grow By starlight does her spirit leave the ground Escaping up beyond it's earthly shroud I feel the pain deep inside my chest The spirit of my lover layed to rest A sprout upon her grave is breaking through Reaching to the stars it catches dew With petals black as pitch it grows at night The spirit of my lover blooms tonight A rose....

Bury Me Beneath The Willow 02:44
lyrics

My heart is sad, and I'm in sorrow weeping one I love When shall I see her, oh, no, never Till we meet in heaven above Oh, bury me under the weeping willow Under the weeping willow tree Maybe when she hears I'm sleeping Maybe then she'll think of me Tomorrow was to be our wedding But oh Lord where can she be She's gone to find another She no longer cares for me Oh Bury... Place on my grave a snow white lily To prove my love for her was true An angel softly whispers She no longer cares for you Oh Bury...

Iberian Nights 11:09
lyrics

Ladino A la una yo nací A las dos m’engrandeci; A las tres tome amante; A las kuatro me kazi: Alma, korazón i vida.. Dime ninya donde viyenes: Ke te kero konocer; Yo te hare defender, Alma, korazón i vida. Yendome para la gera, Dos bezos al aire di; El uno es para mi madre; I el otro para ti; Alma, korazón i vida. English At one I was born; At two I grew up; At three I took a lover; At four I married: Soul, heart, and life. Tell me, little girl, where do you come from? I want to get acquainted. If you have no lover, I will defend you, Going off to war, Two kisses into the air; One is for my mother, And the other is for you. Soul, heart, and life.
