Eri la più carina uneterna miss liceo Il trofeo per il torneo dei romeo Che dietro di te facevano corteo E tu sfruttavi tutti senza scrupoli Indossavi uomini come abiti Con la tua bellezza li rendevi deboli Servili ed arrendevoli Poi quando ti stancavi li buttavi Tipo straccio vecchio Dei loro sentimenti non ti curavi e amavi Solo la persona riflessa nel tuo specchio Così sei cresciuta giudicando tutto dallaspetto Pensando che la confezione centri con la qualità del prodotto In base a questo hai scelto i tuoi amici Persino il tuo compagno, era bello Quindi era degno di far parte del regno Dapparenza di cui in testa tu avevi il disegno Era come un sogno vi sposaste a giugno A settembre ti mostrò il suo pugno Dimmi ora come ci si sente ad essere insultata ignorata A essere picchiata da una mano ubriaca Ora che anche il tuo specchio non ti vuole più vedere Ora che la tua bellezza sta nel fondo di un bicchiere Dimmi come ci si sente How does it feel? Dimmi come ci sente How does it feel? A stare sempre da sola To be on your own. Nè direzione nè casa With no direction home. Una completa sconosciuta A complete unknown. Come una pietra scalciata Like a rolling stone Tu volevi chiudere tutti i diversi fuori Su questo hai investito tutte le energie e i tuoi averi Ricordo il tuo concetto di straniero Dicevi questo non è il posto loro son maleducati sporchi Ci portan via lavoro Difendevi la tua ottusità come un tesoro Quello il tuo sentiero che non ti ha portato a sentire Che il terreno su cui ogni giorno camminiamo noi non lo possediamo lo occupiamo E non è italiano africano È un dono che è stato fatto ad ogni essere umano I confini le barriere le bandiere sono giunti dopo Aiutando lodio la guerra e il razzismo a fare il loro gioco Dimmi come ti senti ora che non ci sono più confini E le frontiere sono aperte E che hai dovuto appendere al chiodo la tua camicia verde La bandiera più non serve Ora che hai speso tutto e sei ridotta allelemosina Finalmente sai che non cè colore razza ma solo anima Ora tu sei lemarginata evitata scalciata ignorata Quando chiedi qualche moneta Ora che non hai più una proprietà che ti dia un identità Sventoli soltanto la bandiera della povertà How does it feel? Dimmi come ci sente How does it feel? A stare sempre da sola To be on your own. Nè direzione nè casa With no direction home. Una completa sconosciuta A complete unknown. Come una pietra scalciata Like a rolling stone Tu vivevi in un mondo a parte fatto di tasche piene E di porte aperte ma eri insoddisfatta della vita E delle tue spalle coperte Non avevi mai lavorato per mangiare Lo stesso avevi tutto quello che si può desiderare Giravi declamandoti infelice a gran voce Io ti dicevo che eri fortunata ma non ti davi pace Il tuo dramma era scoprire chi eri Ma quello è il dramma di ogni uomo Ed è più facile soffermarcisi sopra a stomaco pieno Non immaginavi quanto scotta E come è dura portarsi a casa la pagnotta Ora lo sai dopo che il papi ha fatto bancarotta Avevi il meglio ma non lo hai apprezzato Perché non possiedi niente se niente ti sei guadagnato E dimmi come ci si sente ora che devi sudarti i beni materiali Vedi che hai poco spazio per i problemi esistenziali ora che sei una parte del mondo che ignoravi sei diventata una di quelle pietre che scalciavi! How does it feel? Dimmi come ci sente How does it feel? A stare sempre da sola To be on your own. Nè direzione nè casa With no direction home. Una completa sconosciuta A complete unknown. Come una pietra scalciata Like a rolling stone

It’s unbelievable, it’s strange but true It’s inconceivable it could happen to you You go north and you go south Just like bait in the fish’s mouth You must be living’ in the shadow of some kind of evil star It’s unbelievable it would get this far It’s undeniable what they’d have you to think It’s indescribable, it can drive you to drink They said it was the land of milk and honey Now they say it’s the land of money Whoever thought they could ever make that stick It’s unbelievable you can get this rich this quick Every head is so dignified Every moon is so sanctified Every urge is so satisfied as long as you’re with me All the silver, all the gold All the sweethearts you can hold That doesn’t come back with stories untold Are hanging on a tree It’s unbelievable like a lead balloon It’s so impossible to even learn the tune Kill that beast and feed that swine Scale that wall and smoke that vine Feed that horse and saddle up the drum It’s unbelievable, the day would finally come Once there was a man who had no eyes Every lady in the land told him lies He stood beneath the silver sky and his heart began to bleed Every brain is civilized Every nerve is analyzed Everything is criticized when you are in need It’s unbelievable, it’s fancy-free So interchangeable, so delightful to see Turn your back, wash your hands There’s always someone who understands It don’t matter no more what you got to say It’s unbelievable it would go down this way

Hes got everything He needs, Hes an artist, He dont look back He can take the dark out of the nighttime and paint the daytime black You will start out standing, proud to steal her anything He sees But you will wind up peeking through her keyhole, down upon your knees He never stumbles, Hes got no place to fall Hes nobodys child, the law cant touch her at all He wears an Egyptian ring, it sparkles before He speaks Hes a hypnotist collector, you are a walking antique Bow down to her on Sunday, salute her when her birthday comes For Halloween, buy her a trumpet and for Christmas, give her a drum

Im walkin through streets that are dead Walkin with you in my head My feet are so tired and my brain is so wired And the clouds are weepin Did I hear someone tell a lie? Did I hear some long distant cry? I spoke like a child and it struck me with a smile But I was sleepin Well, Im sick of love but Im in the thick of it Im sick of love, well, Im lovesick I see, I see lovers in the meadow I see, I see silhouettes in the window I watched where theyre goin but they keep me hangin on To their shadow Well, Im sick of love, I wish I never met you This kind of love, oh, Im trying to forget you Just dont know what to do Id give anything to be with you

Too much of nothin can make a man feel ill at ease One mans temper might rise While the other mans temper might freeze In the days of long confessions, we cannot mock a soul Ah, when theres too much of nothin no one has control Say hello to Valerie, say hello to Marion Send them all my salary on the waters of oblivion Too much of nothin can make a man abuse a king He can walk the streets and boast like most But he dont know a thing Its all been done before, its all been written in the book But when its too much of nothin, nobody should look Say hello to Valerie, say hello to Marion Send them all my salary on the waters of oblivion Too much of nothin can turn a man into a liar It can cause some man to sleep on nails Another man to eat fire Everybodys doin somethin, I heard it in a dream But when its too much of nothin, it just makes a fella mean Say hello to Valerie, say hello to Marion Send them all my salary on the waters of oblivion

I wandered again to my home in the mountain Where in youths early days I was happy and free I looked for my friends but I never could find them I found they were all rank strangers to me Everybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger No mother or dad not a friend could I see They knew not my name and I knew not their faces I found they were all rank strangers to me They all moved away, said a voice of a stranger To that beautiful home by the bright crystal sea Some beautiful day Ill meet them in heaven Where no one will be a stranger to me

In the time of my confession In the hour of my deepest need When the pool of tears beneath my feet Flood every newborn seed Theres a dying voice within me Reaching out somewhere Toiling in the danger And in the morals of despair Dont have the inclination to look back on any mistake Like Cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break In the fury of the moment I can see the Masters hand In every leaf that trembles and in every grain of sand Oh, the flowers of indulgence And the weeds of yesteryear Like criminals, they have choked the breath Of conscience and good cheer The sun beat down upon the steps of time To light the way To ease the pain of idleness And the memory of decay I gaze into the doorway of temptations angry flame And every time I pass that way, I always hear my name Then onward in my journey, I come to understand That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand I have gone from rags to riches In the sorrow of the night In the violence of a summers dream In the chill of a wintry light In the bitter dance of loneliness Fading into space In the broken mirror of innocence On each forgotten face I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea Sometimes I turn, theres someone there, other times its only me I am hanging in the balance of a perfect finished plan Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand

Se la vedi dille ciao, salutala ovunque sia E partita tempo fa, potrebbe essere in Tunisia Dille che non si preoccupi per le cose lasciate qui E se crede che labbia scordata non dirle che non è così Abbiam dovuto dividerci e sbatterci qua e là Ma per quelli che si amano non è certo una novità E adesso che se nè andata, adesso che non cè È ancora nel mio cuore, è ancora vicino a me Se per caso la incontrerai dalle un bacio da parte mia Ho sempre avuto rispetto per lei, anche per come se nè andata via E se cè un altro che le sta accanto certamente non sarò io A mettermi fra di loro, puoi giurarci che non sarò io Faccio un lavoro strano, vedo gente in quantità E mi capita ogni tanto di sentire il suo nome in giro per le città E non cho fatto ancora labitudine o forse mai ce la farò Sarà che sono troppo sensibile o nella testa chissà che cho Sole grande, luna blu, il passato è ancora qua E so a memoria i ricordi e il tempo prende velocità Se tornasse da queste parti il mio indirizzo la gente lo sa Tu dille che può chiamarmi, se trova il tempo mi troverà

Oh, where is little Maggie Over yonder she stands Rifle on her shoulder Six-shooter in her hand How can I ever stand it Just to see them two blue eyes Shining like some diamonds Like some diamonds in the sky Rather be in some lonely hollow Where the sun dont ever shine Than to see you be another mans darling And to know that youll never be mine Well, its march me away to the station With my suitcase in my hand Yes, march me away to the station Im off to some far-distant land Sometimes I have a nickel And sometimes I have a dime Sometimes I have ten dollars Just to pay for little Maggies wine Pretty flowers are made for blooming Pretty stars are made to shine Pretty girls are made for boys love Little Maggie was made for mine Well, yonder stands little Maggie With a dram glass in her hand Shes a drinking down her troubles Over courting some other man

If today was not endless highway If tonight was not an endless trail If tomorrow wasnt such a long time Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all Yes and only if my own true love was waiting If I could hear her heart softly pounding Only she was lying by me Then Id lie in my bed once again I cant see my reflection in the water I cant speak the sounds that show no pain I cant hear the echo of my footsteps I cant remember the sound of my own name Yes and only if my own true love was waiting If I could hear her heart softly pounding If only she was lying by me Then Id lie in my bed once again Theres beauty in the silver singing river Theres beauty in the sunrise in the sky But none of these and nothing else could match the beauty That I remember in my true loves eyes Yes and only if my own true love was waiting If I could hear her heart softly pounding If only she was lying by me Then Id lie in my bed once again If today was not an endless highway If tonight was not endless trail If tomorrow wasnt such a long time Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all Yes and only if my own true love was waiting If I could hear her heart softly pounding If only she was lying by me Then Id lie in my bed once again

Darkness at the break of noon Shadows even the silver spoon The handmade blade, the childs balloon Eclipses both the sun and moon To understand you know too soon, there is no sense in trying Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn Suicide remarks are torn From the fools gold mouthpiece the hollow horn Plays wasted words proves to warn That he not busy being born is busy dying Temptations page flies out the door You follow, find yourself at war Watch waterfalls of pity roar You feel to moan but unlike before You discover that youd just be one more person crying So dont fear if you hear A foreign sound to your ear Its alright, Ma, Im only sighing As some warn victory, some downfall Private reasons great or small Can be seen in the eyes of those that call To make all that should be killed to crawl While others say dont hate nothing at all, except hatred Disillusioned words like bullets bark As human gods aim for their mark Made everything from toy guns that spark To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark Its easy to see without looking too far that not much is really sacred Our preachers preach of evil fates Teachers teach that knowledge waits Can lead to hundred-dollar plates Goodness hides behind its gates But even the President of the United States Sometimes must have to stand naked An all the rules of the road have been lodged Its only peoples games that you got to dodge And its alright, Ma, I can make it Advertising signs that con you Into thinking youre the one That can do whats never been done That can win whats never been won Meantime life outside goes on all around you You lose yourself, you reappear You suddenly find you got nothing to fear Alone you stand with nobody near When a trembling distant voice, unclear Startles your sleeping ears to hear That somebody thinks they really found you A question in your nerves is lit Yet you know there is no answer fit To satisfy insure you not to quit To keep it in your mind and not forget That it is not he or she or them or it that you belong to Although the masters make the rules For the wise men and the fools I got nothing, Ma, to live up to For them that must obey authority That they do not respect in any degree Who despise their jobs, their destinies Speak jealously of them that are free Do what they do just to be Nothing more than something they invest in While some on principles baptized To strict party platform ties Social clubs in drag disguise Outsiders they can freely criticize Tell nothing except who to idolize and say, God bless him While one who sings with his tongue on fire Gargles in the rat race choir Bent out of shape from societys pliers Cares not to come up any higher But rather get you down in the hole that hes in But I mean no harm nor put fault On anyone that lives in a vault But its alright, Ma, if I cant please him Old lady judges watch people in pairs Limited in sex, they dare To push fake morals, insult and stare While money doesnt talk, it swears Obscenity, who really cares propaganda, all is phony While them that defend what they cannot see With a killers pride, security It blows the minds most bitterly For them that think deaths honesty Wont fall upon them naturally Life sometimes must get lonely My eyes collide head-on with stuffed graveyards False goals, I scuff at pettiness which plays so rough Walk upside-down inside handcuffs Kick my legs to crash it off Say, Okay, I have had enough, what else can you show me? And if my thought dreams could be seen Theyd probably put my head in a guillotine But its alright, Ma, its life, and life only

Im standing in the shadows with an aching heart Im looking at the world tear itself apart And its turned to hours, hours turned to days Im still loving you in a million ways Well the devils in the alley, theres a mule kicking in my stall Say anything you wanna, I have heard it all I was raised in the country, Ive been working in town Ive been in trouble ever since I set my suitcase down Well I aint got nothing for you, I had nothing before Dont even have anything for myself anymore The sky is full of fire, pain is pouring down Theres nothing you can sell me, Ill see you around Well I got here following the Southern star I crossed that river just to be where you are Theres only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long Well Ive been loving you too long, I know you aint no good Dont make a bit of difference to me, dont see why it should I was thinking about the things that Rosie said I was dreaming I was sleeping in Rosies bed Well Im walking through the leaves falling from the trees I feel like a stranger nobody sees So many things we never will undo I know youre sorry, Im sorry too Some people will offer their hand and some wont Last night I knew ya, tonight I dont I need something strong to distract my mind Im gonna look at you til my eyes go blind Well everybodys moving, God knows where But Im still here, youre still there Only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long Well my ships been split to splinters and its sinking fast Im drowning in the poison, got no future, got no past But my heart is not weary, its light and its free I got nothing but affection for those who have sailed with me Winter goes into the summer, summer goes into fall I look into the mirror, dont see anything at all Stick with me, baby, stick with me anyhow Things should start to get interesting right about now My clothes are wet, tight on my skin And as tight as the corner that Ive painted myself in I know good fortune is waiting to be kind So give me your hand and say youll be mine The emptiness is endless, cold as the clay You can always come back, but you cant come back all the way Only one thing that I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long

On a little street in Singapore Wed meet beside a lotus-covered door A veil of moonlight on her lonely face How pale the hands that held me in embrace My sails tonight are filled with perfume of Shalimar And temple bells will guide me to the shore And then Ill hold her in my arms and love the way I loved before On a little street in Singapore

Something is burning, baby, are you aware? Something is the matter, baby, there’s smoke in your hair Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign Is the love in your heart for me turning blind? You’ve been avoiding the main streets for a long, long while The truth that I’m seeking is in your missing file What’s your position, baby, what’s going on? Why is the light in your eyes nearly gone? I know everything about this place, or so it seems Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams? Well, it is so obvious that something has changed What’s happening, baby, to make you act so strange? Something is burning, baby, here’s what I say Even the bloodhounds of London couldn’t find you today I see the shadow of a man, baby, making you blue Who is he, baby, and what’s he to you? We’ve reached the edge of the road, baby, where the pasture begins Where charity is supposed to cover up a multitude of sins But where do you live, baby, and where is the light? Why are your eyes just staring off in the night? I can feel it in the night when I think of you I can feel it in the light and it’s got to be true You can’t live by bread alone, you won’t be satisfied You can’t roll away the stone if your hands are tied Got to start someplace, baby, can you explain? Please don’t fade away on me, baby, like the midnight train Answer me, baby, a casual look will do Just what in the world has come over you? I can feel it in the wind and it’s upside down I can feel it in the dust as I get off the bus on the outskirts of town I’ve had the Mexico City blues since the last hairpin curve I don’t want to see you bleed, I know what you need but it is not what you deserve Something is burning, baby, something’s in flames There’s a man going around calling names Ring down when you’re ready, baby, I’m waiting for you I believe in the impossible, you know that I do

Mama take this badge Off of me I cant use it anymore Its getting dark Too dark to see Feel Im knocking On heavens door Knock knock knocking on Heavens door Knock knock knocking on Heavens door Knock knock knocking on Heavens door Knock knock knocking on Heavens door Mama put my guns In the ground I cant shoot them anymore That long black cloud Is coming down I feel Im knocking On heavens door Knock knock knocking on Heavens door Knock knock knocking on Heavens door Knock knock knocking on Heavens door Knock knock knocking on Heavens door Knock knock knocking on Heavens door Knocking on heavens door Knock knock knocking on Heavens door Knock knock knocking on Heavens door

Your breath is sweet Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky Your back is straight, your hair is smooth On the pillow where you lie I dont sense affection No gratitude or love Your loyalty is not to me But to the stars above One more cup of coffee for the road One more cup of coffee fore I go To the valley below Your daddy hes an outlaw And a wanderer by trade Hell teach you how to pick and choose And how to throw the blade He oversees his kingdom No stranger dare intrude His voice, it trembles as he calls out For another plate of food One more cup of coffee for the road One more cup of coffee fore I go To the valley below Yeah, oh One more cup of coffee fore I go One more cup of coffee fore I go Into the valley below Your sister sees the future Like your mama and yourself Youve never learned to read or write Theres no books upon your shelf Your pleasure knows no limits Your voice is like a lark But your heart is like an ocean Mysterious and dark One more cup of coffee for the road One more cup of coffee fore I go To the valley below One more cup of coffee fore I go One more cup of coffee fore I go Into the valley below To the valley below

Ring them bells, ye heathen From the city that dreams Ring them bells from the sanctuaries Cross the valleys and streams For theyre deep and theyre wide And the worlds on its side And time is running backwards And so is the bride Ring them bells St. Peter Where the four winds blow Ring them bells with an iron hand So the people will know Oh its rush hour now On the wheel and the plow And the sun is going down Upon the sacred cow Ring them bells Sweet Martha For the poor mans son Ring them bells so the world will know That God is one Oh the shepherd is asleep Where the willows weep And the mountains are filled With lost sheep Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf Ring them bells for all of us who are left Ring them bells for the chosen few Who will judge the many when the game is through Ring them bells, for the time that flies For the child that cries When innocence dies Ring them bells St. Catherine From the top of the room Ring them from the fortress For the lilies that bloom Oh the lines are long And the fighting is strong And theyre breaking down the distance Between right and wrong

Fat man looking into shining steel Thin man looking at his last meal Hollow man looking in a cottonfield For dignity Wise man looking in a blade of grass Young man looking in the shadows that pass Poor man looking through painted glass For dignity Somebody got murdered on New Years Eve Somebody said dignity was the last to leave Went into the cities, went into the towns To the land of the midnight sun Searching high, searching low Searching everywhere I know Asking the cops wherever I go Have you seen dignity? Blind man breaking out of a trance Puts both his hands into the pockets of chance Hoping to find one circumstance Of dignity Stranger stares down into the light From a platinum window in the Mexican night Searching every bloodsucking thing in sight For dignity I went down where the vultures feed Wouldve gone deeper, but there wasnt any need Heard the tongues of angels and the tongues of men It all sounded no different to me Soul of a nation is under the knife Death is standing in the doorway of life In the next room a man fighting with his wife Over dignity

Darkness at the break of noon Shadows even the silver spoon The handmade blade, the child’s balloon Eclipses both the sun and moon To understand you know too soon There is no sense in trying Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn Suicide remarks are torn From the fool’s gold mouthpiece the hollow horn Plays wasted words, proves to warn That he not busy being born is busy dying Temptation’s page flies out the door You follow, find yourself at war Watch waterfalls of pity roar You feel to moan but unlike before You discover that you’d just be one more Person crying So don’t fear if you hear A foreign sound to your ear It’s alright, Ma, I’m only sighing As some warn victory, some downfall Private reasons great or small Can be seen in the eyes of those that call To make all that should be killed to crawl While others say don’t hate nothing at all Except hatred Disillusioned words like bullets bark As human gods aim for their mark Make everything from toy guns that spark To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark It’s easy to see without looking too far That not much is really sacred While preachers preach of evil fates Teachers teach that knowledge waits Can lead to hundred-dollar plates Goodness hides behind its gates But even the president of the United States Sometimes must have to stand naked An’ though the rules of the road have been lodged It’s only people’s games that you got to dodge And it’s alright, Ma, I can make it Advertising signs they con You into thinking you’re the one That can do what’s never been done That can win what’s never been won Meantime life outside goes on All around you You lose yourself, you reappear You suddenly find you got nothing to fear Alone you stand with nobody near When a trembling distant voice, unclear Startles your sleeping ears to hear That somebody thinks they really found you A question in your nerves is lit Yet you know there is no answer fit To satisfy, insure you not to quit To keep it in your mind and not forget That it is not he or she or them or it That you belong to Although the masters make the rules For the wise men and the fools I got nothing, Ma, to live up to For them that must obey authority That they do not respect in any degree Who despise their jobs, their destinies Speak jealously of them that are free Cultivate their flowers to be Nothing more than something they invest in While some on principles baptized To strict party platform ties Social clubs in drag disguise Outsiders they can freely criticize Tell nothing except who to idolize And then say God bless him While one who sings with his tongue on fire Gargles in the rat race choir Bent out of shape from society’s pliers Cares not to come up any higher But rather get you down in the hole That he’s in But I mean no harm nor put fault On anyone that lives in a vault But it’s alright, Ma, if I can’t please him Old lady judges watch people in pairs Limited in sex, they dare To push fake morals, insult and stare While money doesn’t talk, it swears Obscenity, who really cares Propaganda, all is phony While them that defend what they cannot see With a killer’s pride, security It blows the minds most bitterly For them that think death’s honesty Won’t fall upon them naturally Life sometimes must get lonely My eyes collide head-on with stuffed Graveyards, false gods, I scuff At pettiness which plays so rough Walk upside-down inside handcuffs Kick my legs to crash it off Say okay, I have had enough, what else can you show me? And if my thought-dreams could be seen They’d probably put my head in a guillotine But it’s alright, Ma, it’s life, and life only

Eu tenho a boca que arde como o sol O rosto e a cabeça quente Com a Madalena vou-me embora Agora ninguém vai pegar a gente Dei minha viola num pedaço de pão Um esconderijo e uma aguardente Mas um dia eu arranjo outra viola E na viagem vou cantar pra Madalena Não chore não, querida, esse deserto finda Tudo aconteceu que eu nem me lembro Me abraça, minha vida, me leva em seu cavalo E logo no paraíso chegaremos Vejo cidades fantasmas e ruínas À noite escuto o seu lamento São pesadelos e aves de rapina No sol vermelho do meu pensamento Será que eu dei um tiro no cara da cantina? Será que eu mesmo acertei seu peito? Vamos voando, minha Madalena O que passou, passou, não tem mais jeito Naquela sombra vou armar a minha rede E olhar os solitários viajantes Beber cantar e matar a minha sede Lá longe onde tudo é verdejante Não chore não, querida, esse deserto finda Tudo aconteceu que eu nem me lembro Me abraça, minha vida, me leva em seu cavalo E logo no paraíso chegaremos O padre vai rezar uma prece tão antiga Domingo na capela da fazenda Brinco de ouro e botas coloridas Nós dois aprisionados nessa lenda Ouço um trovão e penso que é um tiro A noite escura me condena Não sei se vivo, morro ou deliro Depressa, pega a arma, Madalena Tem uma luz por trás daquela serra Mira, mas não erra, minha pequena A noite é longa e é tanta terra Poderemos estar mortos noutra cena Não chore não, querida, esse deserto finda Tudo aconteceu que eu nem me lembro Me abraça, minha vida, me leva em seu cavalo E logo no paraíso chegaremos Não chore não, querida, esse deserto finda Tudo aconteceu que eu nem me lembro Me abraça, minha vida, me leva em seu cavalo E logo no paraíso chegaremos

My name is Donald White, you see I stand before you all I was judged by you a murderer And the hangmans knot must fall I will die upon the gallows pole When the moon is shining clear And these are my final words That you will ever hear I left my home in Kansas When I was very young I landed in the old Northwest Seattle, Washington Although Id a-traveled many miles I never made a friend For I could never get along in life With people that I met If I had some education To give me a decent start I might have been a doctor or A master in the arts But I used my hands for stealing When I was very young And they locked me down in jailhouse cells Thats how my life begun Oh, the inmates and the prisoners I found they were my kind And it was there inside the bars I found my peace of mind But the jails they were too crowded Institutions overflowed So they turned me loose to walk upon Lifes hurried tangled road And theres danger on the ocean Where the salt sea waves split high And theres danger on the battlefield Where the shells of bullets fly And theres danger in this open world Where men strive to be free And for me the greatest danger Was in society So I asked them to send me back To the institution home But they said they were too crowded For me they had no room I got down on my knees and begged Oh, please put me away, But they would not listen to my plea Or nothing I would say And so it was on Christmas eve In the year of 59 It was on that night I killed a man I did not try to hide The jury found me guilty And I wont disagree For I knew that it would happen If I wasnt put away And Im glad Ive had no parents To care for me or cry For now they will never know The horrible death I die And Im also glad Ive had no friends To see me in disgrace For theyll never see that hangmans hood Wrap around my face Farewell unto the old north woods Of which I used to roam Farewell unto the crowded bars Of whichve been my home Farewell to all you people Who think the worst of me I guess youll feel much better when Im on that hanging tree But theres just one question Before they kill me dead Im wondering just how much To you I really said Concerning all the boys that come Down a road like me Are they enemies or victims Of your society?

Theres a long-distance train rolling through the rain Tears on the letter I write Theres a woman I long to touch and Im missin her so much But shes drifting like a satellite Theres a neon light ablaze in a green smoky haze And laughter down on Elizabeth Street Theres a lonesome bell tone in that valley of stone Where she bathed in a stream of pure heat Her father would emphasize you got to be more than street-wise But he practiced what he preached from the heart A full-blooded Cherokee, he predicted it to me The time and the place that wed part Theres a babe in the arms of a woman in a rage And a longtime golden-haired stripper onstage And she winds back the clock and she turns back the page Of a book that nobody can write Oh, where are you tonight? The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure To live it you had to explode In that last hour of need, we entirely agreed Sacrifice was the code of the road I left town at dawn, with Marcel and St. John Strong men belittled by doubt I couldnt tell her what my private thoughts were But she had some way of finding them out He took dead-center aim, but he missed just the same She was waiting, putting flowers on the shelf She could feel my despair as I climbed up her hair And discovered her invisible self Theres a lion in the road, theres a demon escaped Theres a million dreams gone, theres a landscape being raped As her beauty fades and I watch her undrape Well I wont, but then maybe again, I might Oh, if I could just find you tonight I fought with my twin, that enemy within Till both of us fell by the way Horseplay and disease is killing me by degrees While the law looks the other way Your partners in crime hit me up for nickels and dimes The man you were lovin could never get clean It felt out of place, my foot in his face But he shoulda stayed where his money was green I bit into the root of forbidden fruit With the juice running down my leg Then I dealt with your boss, whod never known about loss Who always was too proud to beg Theres a white diamond gloom on the dark side of this room And a pathway that leads up to the stars If you dont believe theres a price for this sweet paradise Just remind me to show you the scars Theres a new day at dawn and Ive finally arrived If Im-a there in the morning, baby, youll know Ive survived I cant believe it, I cant believe Im alive But without you it doesnt seem right Oh, where are you tonight?

And so Patty calls the cops And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin In the hot New Jersey night Meanwhile, far away in another part of town Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin around Number one contender for the middleweight crown Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road Just like the time before and the time before that In Paterson thats just the way things go If youre black you might as well not show up on the street Less you wanna draw the heat Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin around He said, I saw two men runnin out, they looked like middleweights They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates. And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head Cop said, Wait a minute, boys, this ones not dead So they took him to the infirmary And though this man could hardly see They told him that he could identify the guilty men Four in the mornin and they haul Rubin in Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs The wounded man looks up through his one dyin eye Says, Whad you bring him in here for? He aint the guy! Yes, heres the story of the Hurricane The man the authorities came to blame For somethin that he never done Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been The champion of the world Four months later, the ghettos are in flame Rubins in South America, fightin for his name While Arthur Dexter Bradleys still in the robbery game And the cops are puttin the screws to him, lookin for somebody to blame Remember that murder that happened in a bar? Remember you said you saw the getaway car? You think youd like to play ball with the law? Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin that night? Dont forget that you are white. Arthur Dexter Bradley said, Im really not sure. Cops said, A poor boy like you could use a break We got you for the motel job and were talkin to your friend Bello Now you dont wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow Youll be doin society a favor That sonofabitch is brave and gettin braver We want to put his ass in stir We want to pin this triple murder on him He aint no Gentleman Jim. Rubin could take a man out with just one punch But he never did like to talk about it all that much Its my work, hed say, and I do it for pay And when its over Id just as soon go on my way Up to some paradise Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice And ride a horse along a trail But then they took him to the jail house Where they try to turn a man into a mouse All of Rubins cards were marked in advance The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance The judge made Rubins witnesses drunkards from the slums To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger No one doubted that he pulled the trigger And though they could not produce the gun The D.A. said he was the one who did the deed And the all-white jury agreed Rubin Carter was falsely tried The crime was murder one, guess who testified? Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride How can the life of such a man Be in the palm of some fools hand? To see him obviously framed Couldnt help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land Where justice is a game Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell An innocent man in a living hell Yes, thats the story of the Hurricane But it wont be over till they clear his name And give him back the time hes done Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been The champion of the world
