SAH EIN KNAB EIN RöSLEIN STEHN

Sah ein Knab ein Röslein stehn,
Röslein auf der Heiden,
War so jung und morgenschön,
Lief er schnell, es nah zu sehn,
Sah's mit vielen Freuden.
Röslein, Röslein, Röslein rot,
Röslein auf der Heiden.

Knabe sprach: Ich breche dich,
Roeslein auf der Heiden!
Röslein sprach: Ich steche dich,
Daß du ewig denkst an mich,
Und ich will's nicht leiden.
Röslein, Röslein, Röslein rot,
Röslein auf der Heiden.

Und der wilde Knabe brach 's
Röslein auf der Heiden;
Röslein wehrte sich und stach,
Half ihm doch kein Weh und Ach,
Mußt es eben leiden,
Röslein, Röslein, Röslein rot,
Röslein auf der Heiden.
 




SANTA MARIA
(Kelfam/Kelfam)

To the sky, to the mountain
To the river, to the valley
To my hometown, to my country
To the place where I was born

To my mother, to my father
To my sisters and my brothers
To my friends and myself
And to those I love so well

Santa Maria, prega per noi
Santa Maria, prega per noi

To the world and the people
In their crisis, in their pains
For the children of tomorrow
For the wars that never end

Santa Maria, prega per noi
Santa Maria, prega per noi

To the sky, to the mountain
To the river, to the valley
To my hometown, to my country
To the place where I was born

To the heroes that we need today
To the lonely with no-one to cry
To the mothers, this source of life
To this world in so much pain

Santa Maria, prega per noi
Santa Maria, prega per noi
Santa Maria, prega per noi

SHE IS CRAZY
(Kelfam/Kelfam)

I know one thing
That the truth in her eyes
Makes me love her
Sticks could break her little fine bones
But words could never harm her

She is crazy, she is crazy
You can't hurt her, you can't break her

I see the skies through her eyes
And the sun shines through her smile
Sticks and stones could break her bones
But words could never harm her

She is crazy, she is crazy
You can't hurt her, you can't break her

The roses are crying, the roses are crying...
I miss her more than words can express
Her lonely dances like the waterfalls

She is crazy, she is crazy
You can't hurt her, you can't break her
 




SHENANDOAH
(Trad./Trad.)

Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, we're bound away 'cross the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, we're bound away 'cross the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, we're bound away 'cross the wide Missouri
 




SHORTNIN' BREAD
(Trad./Arr.: Kathy Kelly)

Put on the skillet, put on the lid
Mama's gonna make a little shortnin' bread
And that ain't all that she's gonna do
She's gonna make a little coffee, too

Mama's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin'
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread

Three little chillun lyin' in bed
Two was sick and the other most dead
Sent for the doctor, the doctor said:
"Give them chillun some shortnin' bread"

Mama's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin'
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread

Put on the skillet, put on the lid
Mama's gonna make a little shortnin' bread
And that ain't all that she's gonna do
She's gonna make a little coffee, too

Mama's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin'
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread

When them chillun sick in bed
Heard that talk about shortnin' bread
Popped up well and dance and sing
Skippin 'round cut the pigeon wing

Mama's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin'
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread
 




SICK MAN
(Trad./Arr.: Kathy Kelly/Kelfam)

Like a sick man that longs for the down
Oh I long for the touch of your smile
Like a sick man that longs for the down
Oh I long for the touch of your smile

As a hungry child gropes for the breast
Oh I search for the words from your mouth
As a hungry child gropes for the breast
Oh I search for the words from your mouth

Like a sick man that longs for the down
Oh I long for the touch of your smile
Like a sick man that longs for the down
 




SILENT NIGHT

Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright
'Round yon virgin mother and child!
Holy infant, so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heav'nly hosts sing, "Alleluia!
Christ the Saviour is born,
Christ the Saviour is born."

Silent night, holy night!
Son of God, Love's pure light,
Radiant, beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.

Silent night, holy night!
Wondrous star, lend the light,
With the angels let us sing
"Alleluia" to our King,
"Christ the Saviour is born,
Christ the Saviour is born."
 




SILVER & GOLD

We had to go and leave our homes
Some died young and some died old.
The roads were long, but our hearts were strong,
Some went down to beat the wrong.

Silver and gold, silver and gold
Took away your son.
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Took away our son, away.

Some were sailing to other lands
And we were starting to the rocking glens.
Roving here, roving there,
Found again, love to be there.

Silver and gold...

Until this day they had no shame,
For gamblers' life, it's all a game.
We are proud to be alive,
To sing this song for father's life.

Silver and gold...

We had to go and leave our homes
Some died young and some died old.
The roads were long, but our hearts were strong,
Some went down to beat the wrong.

Silver and gold...
 




STARS FALL FROM HEAVEN

It's cold outside
And the moon is bright
And I'm all alone tonight
If I was a star
That shined so bright
I'd shine my love to you

It's not the words you say
Neither the way they're said
And it's not the things you do
That make me want to fly
Oh baby

When a star falls from heaven
Don't ask me why
When a star falls from heaven
It just makes me cry

When stars fall from heaven
I don't know why
When stars fall from heaven
Gonna see me cry

It's cold outside
It's dar out here
You're far and I'm alone
The stars shine bright
As the tears roll down
My burning cheeks as I cry

It's not the words you say
Neither the way they're said
And it's not the things you do
That make me want to fly
Oh baby

When stars fall ...

Hey hey hey hey yeah ...
 




STAY BESIDE ME
(Kelfam/Kelfam)

One day, I promised you, if you stay it will be okay
As long as you stay beside me, stay beside me it'll be okay
This day is on its way, so close your eyes and follow me
As long as you stay beside me, stay beside me it'll be okay

Babe - babe - babe, babe - babe - babe
It will be okay
Babe - babe - babe, babe - babe - babe
It will be okay

Someone tryin' to hurt, we're so strong, we're gonna go on
As long as we stay together, stay together it'll be okay
You know there's a way about me, babe
Babe - babe - babe, babe - babe - babe
You know there's a way about me, babe
Babe - babe - babe, babe - babe - babe

Stay beside me, stay beside me, it'll be okay
Stay beside me, stay beside me, it'll be okay
Stay beside me, stay beside me, it'll be okay
 




STAYING ALIVE

Pick up yourself Joe
Tell all the rest there is a way out
If you want get out
Help me out
Everybody thinks he knows the way out
But nobody dares
That's why we're stuck in the ground
Help me out

Staying alive with a trigger in your head
Staying alive with a trigger in your head
Welcome, welcome to the real side of life

Everybody's smiling nobody' crying
But everybody's kniving everyone form the back
Wake up little boy 'cause you're living in your dreams
Open your eyes to the real side of life

Staying alive with a trigger in your head
Staying alive with a trigger in your head
Welcome, welcome to the real side of life

I try to good (yes, you are)
But no one seem to care (oh here he comes again)
The harder I try (you never tried)
The more they want to break me (you never tried anything you)
I try to be good (oh here he goes again)
But no one seem to care
The harder I try (I told you to do what they told you)
The more they tried to break me (you damn kid)
Welcome, welcome to the real side of life

Is it dope you want or is it a gun you want
You spell out what you want
And then I'll get you what you want
I want it all I want it now
I'm gonna go ahead and grab it all
Just for myself

Staying alive with a trigger in your head
Staying alive with a trigger in your head
Welcome, welcome to the real side of life
 




STILL, STILL, STILL

Still, still, still, weil's Kindlein schlafen will

Still, still, still, weil's Kindlein schlafen will
Maria tut es niedersingen, ihre keusche Brust darbringen
Still, still, still, weil's Kindlein schlafen will

Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf, mein liebes Kindlein, schlaf
Die Engel tun schön musizieren, bei dem Kindlein jubilieren
Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf, mein liebes Kindlein, schlaf

Groß, groß, groß, die Lieb' ist übergroß
Gott hat den Himmelsthron verlassen und muß reisen auf der Straßen
Groß, groß, groß, die Lieb' ist übergroß

Wir, wir, wir tun rufen all zu dir
Tu uns des Himmels Reich aufschließen, wenn wir einmal sterben müssen
Wir, wir, wir tun rufen all zu dir

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht
Alles schläft, einsam wacht
Nur das traute hochheilige Paar
Holder Knabe mit lockigem Haar
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh'
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh'

All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant, so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

as it has taken this greatest of Christmas songs, "Stille Nacht",
into the English world as "Silent Night",
and even into the Spanish world of 315 million people;

In my bed there are tears
Come out, out of cry

While you´re out let it see
So woman do you want to see my dear
Everybody needs a friend

Bruised but strong, didn´t dye
Stronger than ever
Bruised but strong, didn´t dye
Everybody needs a friend
Everybody needs a friend

SUMMERTIME
(George Gershwin/Heyward do Bose)

Summertime when the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Yo' daddy is rich an' yo' mummy is good lookin'
So hush, little baby, don't you cry

One of these mornin's I'm gonna rise up singin'
I'm gonna spread my wings an' I'll take to the sky
But till that mornin' there is nothin' can harm you
Cause daddy an' mummy standin' by

Summertime...

One of these...
 




SUNDAY MORNING

Sunday morning, when I'm in bed
I here those birdies singing my favourite time
I like so much
Monday morning when he's in bed
He wish it was sunday with bredfast in bed
But it's monday, it's monday, it's monday, it's monday
Then tuesday, then tuesday, and wednesday and thursday
Friday and saturday and sunday then monday again
The week goes slow but he tries to run
He wants to run through dapee, dapee, dapee, dapee
The week goes slow but he tries to run
Go too fast
Can't control the sun
So he runs fast (x4)
He's speeding (x3)
For the paycheck (x4)
Again
My peace at home
Cause my boat is my home (x3)
My boat is home
When I go on a trip or two
I miss my birdies singing my favourite time
I like so much
When I come back from heavy town
I hear those birdies singing my song
But he's running (x4)
So I stop him from running
So I stop him from running
I tell him stop peeding (x3)
For the paycheck
Again
He says it's monday...
And tuesday, too
 




SWEETEST ANGEL

I'll send her rose and I wonder
Will she cry or will she smile
Darling don't let me down
Don't get some other one
'Cause I'm for you

You're my sweetest angel
You go to my heart
You're my sweetest angel
You've got the touch
To my heart, baby yeah

Took her hand and she smiled
Darling you're my true love
Damn it! I won't, damn it!
I won't let you down
'Cause I'm for you

You're my sweetest angel
You go to my heart
You're my sweetest angel
You've got the touch
To my heart, baby yeah

I only need my little room
A mirror and a brush
Don't forget the nicest pillowcase

You're my sweetest angel
You go to my heart
You're my sweetest angel
You've got the touch
To my heart, baby yeah
 




SWING ALL NIGHT
(Paddy Kelly/Angelo, Maite, Barby, Paddy Kelly)

Will the sun shine on his soul or will the rain fall on his head
Or will he go on stage again
Should we sing for you again or should we dance for you again
Or should we give you all we have

We said: Swing and dance all night, come on, babe
We said: Swing and dance all night, come on, babe

We said, you got more than you can see, all you need is a pair of hands
So clap along with us, babe
Grandmamas and punky heads, come on, clap your hands together again
Scream out real loud with us: Yeah, yeah!

We go to swing and dance all night, come on, babe
We go to swing and dance all night, come on, babe

You can do it, I know you can, so take your hands together again
So take your hands and mine, babe
Come and sing for us again, oh come and laugh with us again
Oh come and feast once more, babe
Come and sing for us again, oh come and laugh with us again
Oh come and feast once more, babe

We go to swing and dance all night, come on, babe
We go to swing and dance all night, come on, babe
We go to swing and dance all night, come on, babe
We go to swing and dance all night, come on, babe
 




SWING LOW

Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home! (2x)

 I looked over Jordan an' what did I see,
Comin' for to carry me home
A band of Angels comin' after me,
Comin' for to carry me home.

Swing low...

If you get there before I do,
Comin' for to carry me home,
Jess tell my friends that I'm comin' too,
Comin' for to carry me home.

 Swing low...

I'm sometimes up and sometimes down,
Comin' for to carry me home,
But still my soul feels heavenly bound
Comin' for to carry me home!
