Should I Stay Or Should I Go
(The Clash)

Darling you gotta let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
I'll be here 'til the end of time
So you got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go?

Always tease tease tease
Siempre coqetiando y enganyando
You're happy when I'm on my knees
Me arrodilla y estas feliz
One day is fine, next is black
Un dias bien el otro negro
So if you want me off your back
Al rededar en tu espalda
Well come on and let me know
Me tienes que desir
Should I Stay or should I go?
Me debo ir o que darme

Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
An' if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know

This indecision's bugging me
Esta undecision me molesta
If you don't want me, set me free
Si no me quieres, librame
Exactly who'm I'm supposed to be
Diga me que tengo ser
Don't you know which clothes even fit me?
¿Saves que robas me queurda?
Come on and let me know
Me tienes que desir
Should I cool it or should I blow?
¿Me debo ir o quedarme?

Should I stay or should I go now?
¿Yo me frio o lo sophlo?
If I go there will be trouble
Si me voi va ver peligro
And if I stay it will be double
Si me quedo es doble
So you gotta let me know
Me tienes que decir
Should I stay or should I go?
¿Yo me frio o lo sophlo?

Sympathy for tomorrow by Crüxshadows

I'm not asking for favors
not tonight
I look up in the sky...
all the rockets fall down (fall down)
too many promises
too many lies
too many faces for me to know

Sometimes I sit among the markers
and contemplate my next life
says something less sympathetic-
"a little more unconditional respect was buried
here"

"But it never lived
and it never died
it never came from them
it was always inside..."

I don't care if time just passes us by
I can stand the change...
but not the cruelty
too many promises
too many lies
too many faces for me to know

Sometimes I sit among the markers
and contemplate my next life
says something less sympathetic-
"a little more unconditional respect was buried
here"

"But it never lived
and it never died
it never came from them
it was always inside..."

(Spirits of the Dead by E.A. Poe - 1827)

Thy soul shall find itself alone
'Mid dark thoughts of the grey tomb-stone;
Not one, of all the crowd, to pry
Into thine hour of secrecy.

Be silent in that solitude,
Which is not loneliness- for then
The spirits of the dead, who stood
In life before thee, are again
In death around thee, and their will
Shall overshadow thee; be still.

The night, though clear, shall frown,
And the stars shall not look down
From their high thrones in the Heaven
With light like hope to mortals given,
But their red orbs, without beam,
To thy weariness shall seem
As a burning and a fever
Which would cling to thee for ever.

Now are thoughts thou shalt not banish,
Now are visions ne'er to vanish;
From thy spirit shall they pass
No more, like dew-drop from the grass.

This is from the singer of BAUHAUS. Peter Murphy followed solo carier and made some wonderful songs. Here is one of them.

Peter Murphy - A strange kind of love

A strange kind of love
A strange kind of feeling
Swims through your eyes
And like the doors
To a wide vast dominion
They open to your prize

This is no terror ground
Or place for the rage
No broken hearts
White wash lies
Just a taste for the truth
Perfect taste choice and meaning
A look into your eyes

Blind to the gemstone alone
A smile from a frown circles round
Should he stay or should he go
Let him shout a rage so strong
A rage that knows no right or wrong
And take a little piece of you

There is no middle ground
Or that's how it seems
For us to walk or to take
Instead we tumble down
Either side left or right
To love or to hate

From one of my all time favourite bands....

TITLE Sally Maclennane

ALBUM · Rum Sodomy & The Lash (1985)

Well jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born
He played it from the night time to the peaceful early morn
He soothed the souls of psychos and the men who had the horn
And they all looked very happy in the morning

Now jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours
Where the elephant man broke strong mens necks
When he'd had too many powers
So sad to see the grieving of the people that he's leaving
And he took the road for God knows in the morning

We walked him to the station in the rain
We kissed him as we put him on the train
And we sang him a song of times long gone
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
(far away) sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
To the greatest little boozer and to sally maclennane

The years passed by the times had changed I grew to be a man
I learned to love the virtues of sweet sally maclennane
I took the jeers and drank the beers and crawled back home at dawn
And ended up a barman in the morning

I played the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down
I talked of whores and horses to the men who drank the brown
I heard them say that jimmy's making money far away
And some people left for heaven without warning

We walked him to the station in the rain
We kissed him as we put him on the train
And we sang him a song of times long gone
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
(far away) sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
To the greatest little boozer and to sally maclennane

When jimmy came back home he was surprised that they were gone
He asked me all the details of the train that they went on
Some people they are scared to croak but jimmy drank until he choked
And he took the road for heaven in the morning

We walked him to the station in the rain
We kissed him as we put him on the train
And we sang him a song of times long gone
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
(far away) sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
To the greatest little boozer and to sally maclennane

SOUNDGARDEN - FELL ON BLACK DAYS

Whatsoever I've feared has come to life
Whatsoever I've fought off became my life
Just when everyday seemed to greet me with a smile
Sunspots have faded
And now I'm doing time
Cause I fell on black days

Whomsoever I've cured I've sickened now
Whomsoever I've cradled I've put you down
I'm a search light soul they say
But I can't see it in the night
I'm only faking when I get it right
Cause I fell on black days
How would I know
That this could be my fate

So what you wanted to see good has made you blind
And what you wanted to be yours has made it mine
So don't you lock up something that you wanted to see fly
Hands are for shaking
No, not tying

I sure don't mind a change
But I fell on black days
How would I know
That this could be my fate

Will the Sun Rise? - Stratovarius

Throwing my dreams out of my mind
casting them into the sky
canceling tasks I've delayed for so long
now it's do or die

I can't be seen I can't be heard
but I am here and I am wondering

Will the sun rise tomorrow
will it light up my sky
can I wake up with no sorrow awaiting
will the sun rise tomorrow
will I still see the dawn
and not worry 'bout the future at all

At the end of each day I promise myself
I'd better start to live
coz sooner or later I'll find out
there's so much I can give

I can't be seen I can't be heard
but I am here and I am wondering

Will the sun rise tomorrow
will it light up my sky
can I wake up with no sorrow awaiting
will the sun rise tomorrow
will I still see the dawn
and not worry 'bout the future at all



Hold On - Mob Rules

Underneath the surface
Beyond the human skin
There's a certain feel of hunger
A scream from deep within

I never reached the higher grounds
I always failed the time
Just tried to get the inner strength of mine

Hold on and try to fly
Hold on like wings in the sky
Hold on we tried to fly
So hold on

All the dreams are over
In the black hole of the sun
The seed of our madness
Took my soul and made me run

The moment when a child is born
The miracle of life
Is stronger than the shadows of the night

Hold on and try to fly
Hold on like wings in the sky
Hold on we tried to fly
So hold on

Raze I definitely like your taste in bands. Iced Earth, Demons and Wizards, Lake of Tears, Stratovarius...
Speaking of Stratovarius, here's a short sad one that I love and am feeling right now:

Forever - Stratovarius

I stand alone in the darkness
The winter of my life came so fast
Memories go back to childhood
To days I still recall

O, how happy I was then
There was no sorrow, there was no pain
Walking through the green fields
Sunshine in my eyes

I'm still there, everywhere
I'm the dust in the wind
I'm the star in the northern sky
I never stayed anyway
I'm the wind in the trees
Would you wait for me forever?
Will you wait for me forever?



Sadly, I think her answer is going to be no. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

I don't know if this lyric is completely new, but it's nice the way what the singer sing it now. It's really nice, if somebody can get and hear it, tell me what you think besides you don't understand the lyric, later i'll traduct it.


The sound and the rythm(right?) is really nice, i've heard this music today and loved it, i have to admit it.

The singer's voice is really good too.

Kiya i didn't forgot of yoooouuuu..... jus't because that i remember you of it here, cause i can't send pm's.


Sorte Grande - Ivete Sangalo


A minha sorte grande
Foi você cair do céu
Minha paixão verdadeira.
Viver a emoção
Ganhar teu coração
Pra ser feliz a vida inteira.
É lindo o teu sorriso
O brilho dos teus olhos
Meu anjo querubin.
Doce dos meus beijos
Calor dos meus braços
Perfume de jasmim.
Chegou não deu espaço
Mandando no pedaço
O amor que não é brincadeira.
Pegou me deu um laço
Dançou bem no compasso
Que preazer levantou poeira.
Poeiraaaaaaa...
Poeiraaaaaaa...
Poeiraaaaaaa...levantou poeira.
Thurun dhun
Thurun dhun
Thurun dhun
Thurun dhun

Thurun dhun

Chegou não deu espaço
Mandando no pedaço
O amor que não é brincadeira.
Pegou me deu um laço
Dançou bem no compasso
Que preazer levantou poeira.
Poeiraaaaaaa...
Poeiraaaaaaa...
Poeiraaaaaaa...
Poeiraaaaaaa...
Levantou poeira...
Eu quero ouvir você cantar. Poeiraaaaaaa...

Kiya

Me alegro mucho de verle - hasta pronto <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

"I definitely like your taste in bands."

Me too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> .. I'll have to see if I can find something more obscure...
I like 'Forever' as well.


"Sadly, I think her answer is going to be no. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> "

A Million to One - Kiss

Baby, now that you've made up your mind
I'm gonna let you go, if that's what it takes to show love is blind
I gave you the best love you ever had, but it wasn't enough
So if you think you're so smart, go and play with your heart
When you walk out the door, you'll realize what you never did before

Chorus:
A million to one - that's what it will be
A million to one - there's someone better than me
A million to one - no, you never will find
A million to one - another love like mine

Yeah, we chose our sides and I've been misunderstood
But everytime I try to open your eyes, I'm damned and I'm no good
Day after day, you're further away, I can't take anymore
So it's time that you go, but I want you to know, I won't stand in your way
Deep in my heart I know, girl you're runnin' away

Chorus

One of these days you'll come out of your haze, no matter what you do
It'll be too late, something good won't wait, love is runnin' out on you

Chorus

A million to one - listen to your heart girl - a million to one - oh
A million to one - no, you never will find
A million to one - another love like mine
A million to one - no, you never will find
A million to one - another love like mine

A million to one (repeats out)

Mirror Mirror - Blind Guardian

Far, far beyond the island
We dwelt in shades of twilight
Through dread and weary days
Through grief and endless pain

It lies unknown
The land of mine
A hidden gate
To save us from the shadow fall
The lord of water spoke
In the silence
Words of wisdom
I've seen the end of all
Be aware the storm gets closer

chorus (1):
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That tomorrows bears insanity

Gone's the wisdom
Of a thousand years
A world in fire and chains and fear
Leads me to a place so far
Deep down it lies my secret vision
I better keep it safe

Shall I leave my friends alone
Hidden in my twilight hall
(I) know the world is lost in fire
Sure there is no way to turn it
Back to the old days
Of bliss and cheerful laughter
We're lost in barren lands
Caught in the running flames
Alone

How shall we leave the lost road
Time's getting short so follow me
A leader's task so clearly
To find a path out of the dark

chorus (2):
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change

Even though
The storm calmed down
The bitter end
Is just a matter of time

Shall we dare the dragon
Merciless he's poisoning our hearts
Our hearts

How shall we leave the lost road
Time's getting short so follow me
A leader's task so clearly
To find a path out of the dark

chorus (2)



And now a couple a bit more obscure, I think;


Burning Hills - Danse Macabre

Did you know which way we went?
Fast ways and many burning hills

I cannot tell you which way we went

That's where I've lost you
Realize it now

But I do know that we went astray

The tie around our fingers is torn apart

One glimpse enough to comprehend all
But frost conquered our hearts
There remains this wall

We knew each other, by the look in our eyes
Didn't dare to say, too frightened to give too much

Did you know which way we went?
Fast ways and many burning hills

I cannot tell you which way we went

That's where I've lost you
Realize it now

But I do know that we went astray

This will be the moment for a new start

We knew each other, by the look in our eyes
Didn't dare to say, too frightened to give too much

Why should you close your eyes?
If there is nothing to look for
Our slippery hands didn't hold
And we've got colder

Deep inside the little child cries
Feeling the old ache, remembering for God's sake
Don't let the tears cry slow
It is healing and trying to grow
The flame on every flower
The wound of every injury
Has been healed now

Did you know which way we went?
Fast ways and many burning hills
That's where I've lost you
Realize it now
The tie around our fingers is torn apart
Your soul around my body did dispart
Our slippery hands didn't hold
And we've got colder

Your mind slowly fades away
Moving further away
The flame on every flower
The wound of every injury
Has been healed now



Rodeo - Pretty Maids

I was born and raised on the street
I grew up in a jungle of stone
I felt the madness of people
But I fought my way up alone

Cause I saw the new horizons
The future and the flame
I walked my own directions
For fortune and fame

Don't leave it behind
Go for it and maybe you'll find
Cause something is waiting for you
Just keep on believing
And make it through

Life is a rodeo
Somebody makes it
Somebody don't
And even though
You feel like loosing
Don't ever let it go

And sometimes when I came to a crossroad
Should I stick to the left or the right
When there was more than just one way to go
Then I chose to head for the light

I found myself on the outside
And I faced the chance to get in
Now I left the moments of twilight
Prepared to win

[Chorus]

Yes, of course I recognized the Blind Guardian lyrics (love that song), but the others...yes, definitely obscure enough.

A few more, since I can't sleep;

From a band I'm not often in the mood to listen to, though I really like the lyrics of this song. They are not nearly as anti-Christian as the name implies.

Between Times - Rotting Christ

The drums of time I have stopped
The ecstatic quietude
Sucks up every fear
And every desire

Illusions of the moment
Featureless figures
Intensified feelings
I'm running behind my shadow

In this vastness
I can feel your presence
I cannot understand
Your misleading words

Inconceivable beauty
Sweet melody
Forgotten senses
Are waking up

Dark in the dark
Always and never
This is the time
Of total purification

Lost in thought
Trying to touch
The perfect moment
But the clock strikes again



This group has a few good songs, but not so that I listen to them often.

Dreaming Neon Black - Nevermore

Sometimes when I'm alone I still feel you
Your breath on my neck, you're still with me
And I'm still dreaming neon black
I wait for you, to taste your unknown world
The clock spins to time that must mean nothing

Chorus:
Meet me in the dreamtime water, drown
Shifting shaping currents flow in memory
(swim through me)
Meet me in the drowning pool of tears
And wash away my innocence

and fear

Sometimes I wonder where you are, can you feel my tears?
I never knew what changed you
Did they paint your dreams in pale shades?
I wait for you, you know you cannot hide
Division from within invalidates suffering

[Chorus]

I am a child of light living in your mind
The pain, the unknowing washes away in time
Until then will you meet me whenever I call to you?

[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Meet me

My only cure won't you meet me?
In the drowning pool of fate the moon and the sun still wait

Won't you meet me?
I suffer silently for our love, the jester has lost his dove



Nobody's Fool - Cinderella

I count the falling tears
They fall before my eyes
Seems like a thousand years
Since we broke the ties
I call you on the phone
But never get a rise
So sit there all alone
It's time you realize

Chorus:
I'm not your fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
I'm no fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
Never again, no, no

You take your road, I'll take mine
The paths have both been beaten
Searchin' for a change of pace
Love needs to be sweetened
I scream my heart out, just to make a dime
And with that dime I bought your love
But now I've changed my mind

[Chorus]

I count the falling tears
They fall before my eyes
Seems like a thousand years
Since we broke the ties
Ohhh

[Chorus]

Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool

[Chorus]

have i ever mentioned my fetish for 80's power ballads?

love that cinderella song, raze. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

80's power ballads, eh... let me blow the dust off my tape case. All female singers;


If This Is Love - Lee Aaron

Never had a feelin', never felt what I'm needin', 'til tonight
Never had a reason, ohh.. to believe it
But I couldn't see, with my eyes..., this is the first time

Losin' all my senses, I keep forgettin', I don't have to dream...
Nobody ever mentioned how close I'd be gettin'
Ta you, and you ta me...

It comes over me, when our bodies touch
Lookin' in your eyes they tell me so much

Chorus:
If this is love that we feel inside..
If this is love let's hold on to this night
If this is love

I feel like I've taken, a drug that was made in, the sweetest fantasy...
My heart's overtaken but it can't be mistaken
This was planned for you an' me...

When I look in your eyes they tell me so much...

[Chorus]

If this is love that survives the storm..
If this is love that is keeping us warm
Hold on to the night....

If this is, if this is love
If this is, if this is love
If this is, if this is love

[Chorus]

If this is love that survives the storm..
If this is love that is keeping us warm..
If this is, if this is love....

[Chorus]
If this is, if this is love
If this is



Ti Amo - Laura Branigan

verse 1:
Ti amo, God how I love you so
My heart just won't let go
Day after day I'm still holdin' on
Even though you're gone

verse 2:
Ti amo, wasn't I good to you?
I did all that I could do
To make you want to be here with me
I thought you loved me

verse 3:
I can't believe you could just turn and leave
Y'did it so easily
You pulled my world out from under me
Look what you've done to me

Chorus 1:
How could you end it this way
After the love that we made?
God how I wish you had stayed
Can't you see that I just want you back?

Ti amo, I never had a clue that I was losin' you
You never once let me know you were lettin' me go
Oh, I guess it was there in your eyes
Guess it was there in your sighs
Guess it was there in your lies
I was blind then, couldn't face the end

Chorus 2:
Ti amo, thought we'd go on and on
Thought we had something strong
You pulled my world out from under me
Look what you've done to me

[Chorus 1]
[verse 1]

Guess it was there in your eyes
Guess it was there in your sighs
Guess it was there in your lies
I was blind then, couldn't face the end

[Chorus 2]
[Chorus 1]
[verse 2]
[verse 3]
[verse 1] ... [fade out]



I always liked this song, but never thought to translate it until now, from Altavista's Babelfish.
Update: and now, through the miracle of the internet, comes human translation.

A couple more songs, continuing with female singers.


Wanderlust - Nightwish

I want to see where the sirens sing
Hear how the wolves howl
Sail the dead calm waters of the Pacific

Dance in the fields of coral
Be blinded by the white
Discover the deepest jungle

I want to find The Secret Path
A bird delivered into my heart, so

It's not the end
Not the kingdom come
It is the journey that matters, the distant wanderer
Call of the wild
In me forever and ever and ever forever
Wanderlust

I want to love by the Blue Lagoon
Kiss under the waning moon
Straying, claiming my place in this mortal coil

Riding the dolphins
Asking the mountains
Dreaming Alaska
The Earth can have but Earth

I want to find...

It's not the end...

Drown into my eyes and see the wanderer
See the mirrors of a wolf behold the pathfinder



Nighttime Birds - The Gathering (BTW, this song is almost 7 minutes long)

Their ways are open
they spread as their wings
they want to be certain
of a warm surrounding

When they fly
through the night as beautiful
nighttime birds

The warm wind picks them up

When they fly
through the night as beautiful
nighttime birds



The Beast - Concrete Blonde

The prey of the beast screamed
Bloody murder
The line is so fine between
Hoping and hurting
Former believers they beg for release
As love looking down on them
Smiles and picks his teeth
Trapped in between heaven and hell
He knows all the secrets
And don’t want to tell
There’s nowhere to run and there’s
Nowhere to hide
Love knows you all too well
He will find you

Love is the ghost haunting your head
Love is the killer you thought
Was your friend
Love is the creature who lives
In the dark
Sneaks up, will stick you
And painfully pick you apart

Love is a poet, love sings the songs
Pointing his finger you follow along
Voice are calling,
The monster wants out of you
Paws you and claws you, you try not to fall

Love is the leech, sucking you up
Love is a vampire, drunk on your blood
Love is the beast that will
Tear out your heart
Hungrily lick it and
Painfully pick it apart

Love is a ghost, haunting your head
Love is the killer you thought
Was your friend
Love is the teacher who lives in the dark
Sneak up and stick you
And painfully pick you apart

I don´t know about you guys but I am amazed with Raze....

Dead Can Dance - The Ubiquitous Mr Lovegrove

I thought that you knew it all
Well you've seen it ten times before.
I thought that you had it down
With both your feet on the ground.
I love slow...slow but deep.
Feigned affections wash over me.
Dream on my dear
And renounce temporal obligations.
Dream on my dear
It's a sleep from which you may not awaken.

You build me up then you knock me down.
You play the fool while I play the clown.
We keep time to the beat of an old slave drum.
You raise my hopes then you raise the odds
You tell me that I dream too much
Now I'm serving time in disillusionment.

I don't believe you anymore...I don't believe you.

I thought that I knew it all
I'd seen all the signs before.
I thought that you were the one
In darkness my heart was won.

You build me up then you knock me down.
You play the fool while I play the clown.
We keep time to the beat of an old slave drum.
You raise my hopes then you raise the odds
You tell me that I dream too much
Now I'm serving time in a domestic graveyard.

I don't believe you anymore...I don't believe you.

Never let it be said I was untrue
I never found a home inside of you.
Never let it be said I was untrue
I gave you all my time.

One more I like very much.

Christian Death - Figurative Theatre

In the shallow holes
of a thousand eyes
in the knee-deep graves
of future survivors

The fleshless guests live off
children of the past
Their aging fingers cast the
Shadow of Death

(Chorus)
Their razor sharp tongues
invite to relax
as they slip the skin of your
eyelids back
invasive spectators
get into the act
with roses and candles
silver knives and spoons
persona read women dance with
priests on a side road
your vision perspectives are
turning to stone
cabaret slide show starts
shooting their loads
Act one is the end, the show
now begins
(chorus)

Breath ballet prancers spin on
Porcelain backbone
a child's muddled cry turns into
Hilarity

Ungracious freeloaders leave their
dead on a doorstep
Flowers of doom bloom in prosperity

luxuries of past days are

luxuries of our days

luxuries of past days

luxuries of our days
