There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher
Full of ecstacy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on
He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Czar
But the kasachok he danced really wunderbar
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her son
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on
(Spoken
But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger
for power became known to more and more people,
the demands to do something about this outrageous
man became louder and louder.
"This man's just got to go!" declared his enemies
But the ladies begged "Don't you try to do it, please"
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
Then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap, they're not to blame
"Come to visit us" they kept demanding
And he really came
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison into his wine
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
He drank it all and he said "I feel fine"
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They didn't quit, they wanted his head
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
And so they shot him till he was dead
(Spoken Oh, those Russians)
因当年Boney M演唱歌曲风格,被称乎为"舞王之王....
Boney M(波尼"M)乐队是前西德的演唱组合,她不仅是一支在上个世纪七八十年代风靡一时的迪斯科乐队,更是整个迪斯科时代的一个传奇、缩影和代表。这支乐队在上世纪70年代末80年代初雄踞欧洲音乐排行榜之首。Boney M乐队成员来自西印度群岛、牙买加等地。制作人是弗朗克. 菲林 (Frank Fariam)。1977年他们以一曲《Daddy Cool》走红,特有的迪斯科韵味,加之当时美国风行迪斯科热潮,因而乐队大受欢迎。自那以后,Boney M 的周单曲销量高达10万张,录有这首歌的专辑《TaketheHeatOffme》也随之火爆。
Boney M 名字的由来也同样富有传奇色彩。在乐队组建前期,乐队的制作人Frank Farian正在制作歌曲“Baby Do You Wanna Bump”的时候,还没有真正意义上的乐队和乐队的名字。有一天Farian看到一部澳大利亚电视连续剧中的男主角--一个警察, 他的名字叫Boney,他不仅喜欢这部电视剧中的这位英雄 , 而且他觉得Boney将会是一个很好的名字。但是他还觉得缺点什么,就开始从字母中寻找,最后 Boney M这个名字诞生了。
By the rivers of babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered zion.
By the rivers of babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered zion.
When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the lords song in a strange land
When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Requiering of us a song
Now how shall we sing the lords song in a strange land
Let the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight
Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight
By the rivers of babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered zion.
By the rivers of babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered zion.
By the rivers of babylon (dark tears of babylon)
There we sat down (you got to sing a song)
Ye-eah we wept, (sing a song of love)
When we remember zion. (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
By the rivers of babylon (rough bits of babylon)
There we sat down (you hear the people cry)
Ye-eah we wept, (they need their God)
When we remember zion. (ooh, have the power)
cuando se marchó en silencio un atadecer
se fué con su canto triste a otro lugar
dejó como compañera mi soledad.
Una paloma blanca me canta al alba
viejas melancolías, cosas del alma
llegan con el silencio de la mañana
y cuando salgo a verla vuela a su casa.
¿Dónde va? que mi voz
ya no quiere escuchar,
¿Dónde va? que mi vida se apaga
si junto a mi no está.
Si quisiera volver
yo la iría a esperar
cada día, cada madrugada
para quererla más.
Bengawan Solo(印尼语)
by Gesang Martohartono
Bengawan Solo, riwayat mu ini
Sedari dulu, jadi perhatian dewi Sari
Music kemarau, tak berapa airmu
Di musimhujan air meluap sampai jauh
Chorus:
Mata airmu dari Solo,
Terkurung gunung seribu
Air mengalir sampai jauh
Akhirnya kelaut
Itu perahu, riwayatnya dulu
Kaum pedagang selalu
Naik itu perahu
by Gesang Martohartono
Solo, the Mighty River(英语)
by Gesang Martohartono
The mighty river Solo, your legend this,
From ages past, you captivated the goddess Sari,
In seasons dry, your water is low,
In rainy seasons, the water overflows into the horizon.
Chorus:
The spring of Solo
Locked in thousands of mountains.
Its water flows intot he distance,
At last to the sea.
That boat, legend of the past,
of traders, always going
by that boat.
Shadows of a thousand faces keep on turning in your mind,
and forgotten names and places never really left behind.
Is it your imagination seeking shelter from the rain,
or a lonesome conversation once again.
Shadows never point a finger at the things you say or do,
silently they seem to linger any way you may run to.
Sharing every joy or torment, every laughter or despair,
facing you at any moment if you dare.
Gentle hearts at once surrender what you didn't understand,
conquest of the night thats ended holding you with trembling hands.
In a book a fall leaf-clover marks the days spent alone,
till she found that it was over long ago.
Little things have lost thier meaning leaving only emptiness,
tender words and simple feelings never eased your angried hands.
Yesterdays remain so certain and tomorrows round the bend,
can you read the line that darkens on your hand.
Both ends of a candle burning shine so brightly for a while,
Wrinkles of life reflecting in your smile.
Shadows never point a finger at the things you say or do,
silently they seem to linger any way you may run to.
Sharing every joy or torment, every laughter or despair,
facing you at any moment if you dare.
