Gogol Bordello Album

Caravan is comin', all guitars are strummin'
Chief is sitting high with gold across the chest
I'm just a little chavo, I don't even own a gitar
But mama they got girl, that I love the best

Lela lela lela, lela pala tute
Jas kana meres, mirala pala late
Lela lela lela, lela pala tute
Aah aah aah, aah aah ai!

[??]
Mishto!

Lela lela lela, lela pala tute
Jas kana meres, mirala pala late
Lela lela lela, lela pala tute
Jas kana meres, mirala pala late

Caravan is comin', all guitars are strummin'
And says old Hidano: boy, forget about the bling,
Here is a gitara for you my little chavo
If you slave to kissing, you gotta play this thing

Lela lela lela, lela pala tute
Jas kana meres, mirala pala late
Lela lela lela, lela pala tute
Jas kana aah, aah aah ai!

[??]
Mishto!

Caravan is leavin', and her breast is heavin'
Lord this kind of love, cannot be untrue
I'm just a little chavo, but I learned a one thing
Girls they like the kissing as much as we do!

Lela lela lela, lela pala tute
I'm dying, I'm dying, dying after you!
Lela lela lela, lela pala tute
Girls they like the kissing as much as we do!

[Eugene goes crazy :)]

We stepped together in the river
We traded fever on turmoil
Last time I saw you was in the middle
I wonder if you hit the soil

Where are you now, my companjera?
Your baby claw stuck in my chest
Where are you now, my sonidera
Who took you from the nest?

Where are you now, my companjera?
I'm hitting bricks from town to town
Where are you now, my sonidera
I met my final down
Down!
My final down

Right through the muzzle came my surrender
I had to tear it off my mind
Then hypothermia took over
And suddenly I went blind

Where are you now, my companjera?
Your baby claw stuck in my chest
Where are you now, my sonidera
Who took you from the nest?

Where are you now, my companjera?
I'm hitting bricks from town to town
Where are you now, my sonidera
I met my final down
Down!
My final down

Eat and sleep without desire
"Would you like window or aisle?"
"Oh, Miss Sky, you ever seen
Warrior that's more fragile?"

Jetlag, hangover, malnutrition
You can't fly in this condition!
And if no-one intervene
Out of the window is my mission!

Where are you now, my companjera?
Your baby claw stuck in my chest
Where are you now, my sonidera
Who took you from the nest?

Where are you now, my companjera?
I'm hitting bricks from town to town
Where are you now, my sonidera
I met my final down
Down!
My final down

What was here now is gone
Up and down, like everyone
Walked the earth in lonesome cry
But when the sun comes up
When the sun comes up
It will be on your side,
It will be on your side.

To the song of wheels
All demons die
Rays of joy, they multiply
Harmony, you will be my bride
But when the sun comes up
I'll let out last breath
And slumber softly into the death

My half-breed odyssey
Your orphan prophecy
Our destiny we will not hide
When the sun comes up
When the sun comes up
It will be on your side
It will be on our side

When the sun comes up
I'll let out last breath
And slumber softly into the death

Rebellious love
Is begging door to door
But finds the silence
Like no-one lives there anymore

Rebellious love
This day ain't got no place
And is running out of town
In shame and covering its face

Love is running back to God (back to God, back to God)
God is running after man (after man, after man)
Men all run to the unknown
From unknown love comes again

Capture, capture...
Will they ever capture
One another?
Will the cowards ever get to capture us?

Rebellious love
Your destiny's arranged
Your days are numbered
And soon you will be caged
But, rebellious love,
I'm coming after you
Cause without you
There is nothing for me here to do

Love is running back to God (back to God, back to God)
God is running after man (after man, after man)
Men all run to the unknown
From unknown love comes again

Capture, capture...
Will they ever capture
One another?
Will the cowards ever get to capture us?

Capture, capture...
Will they ever capture
One another?
Will the cowards ever get to capture us?

Immigrada, Immigraniada
Immigrada, Immigraniada da da
Immigrada, Immigraniada
We coming rougher everytime

We coming rougher, we coming rougher
We coming rougher everytime
(HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY)
We coming rougher every time

In corridors full of tear gas
Our destinies change every day
Like deleted scenes from Kafka
Flushed down the bureaucratic drain

But if you give me the invitation
To hear the bells of freedom chime
To hell with your double standard
We coming rougher every time

And those who made it
And quickly jaded
To them we got nothing to say
Immigrada, Immigraniada
For them Don Quixote kind of way

But if you give me the invitation
To hear the bells of freedom chime
To hell with your double standard
We coming rougher every time

Frozen eyes, sweaty back
My family's living on the railroad track
All my life I back and back
But man, I got to earn this black

I gotta pay representation
To be accepted in a nation
Where after efforts of a hero
All comes start again from zero

It's a book of a true stories
True stories that can't be denied
It's more than true, it actually happened
It's more than true, it actually happened
It's more than true, it actually happened
We coming rougher every time
Rougher every time

We coming rougher, we coming rougher
We coming rougher everytime
(HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY)
We coming rougher every time

Immigrada, Immigraniada
Immigrada, Immigraniada da da
Immigrada, Immigraniada
We coming rougher everytime

Immigrada, Immigraniada
Immigrada, Immigraniada da da
Immigrada, Immigraniada
We coming rougher everytime

Why didn't you come when I beat my drum
And screamed off my head out into the night
Scared of the slums, afraid of the guns
Don't wanna see the hoodlums fight

Hey hey hey, na na na na
Don't wanna see the hoodlums fight
Hey hey hey, na na na na
Don't wanna see the hoodlums fight

I was gonna come when I heard your drum
And you screamed your head off into the night
I grew up around different part of town
But even the universes collide

Hey hey hey, na na na na
Even the universes collide
Hey hey hey, na na na na
Even the universes collide

There was no letter
No family matter
And by the castes we don't divide
It's just father told me tonight authorities
Preparing ethno-cleansing ride

Hey hey hey, na na na na
Preparing ethno-cleansing ride
Hey hey hey, na na na na
Preparing ethno-cleansing ride

Two helicopters with machine guns
Over the slums proudly will glide
So when the universes collide
Son, don't get caught on the wrong side!

Hey hey hey, na na na na
When the universes collide
Hey hey hey, na na na na
Son, don't get caught on the wrong side

Hey hey hey, na na na na
When the universes collide
Hey hey hey, na na na na
Son, don't get caught on the wrong side

Hey hey hey, na na na na
When the universes collide
Hey hey hey, na na na na
Son, don't get caught on the wrong side

Why didn't you come
When I beat my drum
And screamed off my head
Out into the rain
Your mother told you
Our father stopped you
Out of the hospitals you are afraid
When universe will collide
Don't get caught on the wrong side

From the sidewalks of the sky

Tep-terep-teru, tarap-tap-taru,

Revolution is internal
Help yourself at any time

Poets and rebels craved
To take off the tower
That taught them of the braved

Revolution is internal

[spanish?]
Unvisible barbed wire all along
Around the neck of my song
He Romale, I'm beat up
But going strong

Unstoppable fire of my tongue
And the path ahead that's long
Will get me at the end where I belong

Cause I've seen ship of fools
Sinking in the dunes
As I dragged my coffin on the rope
Them all look down at me
But I got all the help I need
Cause the last one, last one goes the hope
Last one, last one goes the hope

[spanish?]

Unseizable diamond from my sling
Still is searching for its ring
In a city of ruins where no-one sings
But zombies and willful slaves
Living in their tiny private caves
Crooked hands, digging up their graves

Yeah I've seen ship of fools
Sinking in the dunes
As I dragged my coffin on the rope
Them all look down at me
But I got all the help I need
Cause the last one, last one goes the hope
Last one, last one goes the hope

Dee dee dee...
Last one, last one goes the hope
Last one, last one goes the hope

He romale, no passarán
Hey chavale, non rien de rien
You see the thunderbird already starts to spin
He romale, no passarán
He chavale, non rien de rien
Hey, venceremos,
Все равно мы победим!

Cause I've seen ship of fools
Sinking in the dunes
As I dragged my coffin on the rope
Them all look down at me
But I got all the help I need
Cause the last one, last one goes the hope
Ooh, last one, last one goes the hope
Ooh, last one, last one goes the hope
Ooh, last one, last one goes the hope

Dee dee dee...
Ai ai ai...
Last one, last one goes the hope (ai goes the hope!)
Last one, last one goes the hope
Last one, last one goes the hope (ai goes the hope!)
Ooh, last one, last one goes the hope

35 years I lay awake at night
Across my mind is one eternal fight
Inventing new ways to think and see
But keep old friends and answers to old ways

To frontiers my kind is following the spark
To build lighthouse for those who scared of dark
To frontiers where we befriend the shark
And stare at night but do not see the dark
Of sadness, madness...

Here I crawl to rise above (to rise above)
To rise above (to rise above)
Oh, what is godless and misleading
And touch the world (touch the world)
And touch the world (and touch the world)
And touch the world that isn't bleeding

'Cause I don't know if anywhere in this universe there is this kind of love
I don't know if anywhere in this universe someone like you to know
I don't know if anywhere in this universe there is this kind of love
I don't know if anywhere in this universe someone like you to know

And I did see most beautiful of dreams
A cosmic harp where we were the strings
So making sure that the shudder is in tune
To loneliness we were all immune

To frontiers my kind is following the spark
To build lighthouse for those who scared of dark
To frontiers where we befriend the shark
And stare at night to erase the mark
Of sadness, madness...

Oh, here I crawl to rise above (to rise above)
To rise above (to rise above)
Oh, what is godless and misleading
And touch the world (touch the world)
And touch the world (and touch the world)
And touch the world that isn't bleeding

'Cause I don't know if anywhere in this universe there is this kind of love
I don't know if anywhere in this universe someone like you to know
I don't know if anywhere in this universe there is this kind of love
I don't know if anywhere in this universe someone like you to know

Sometime when you have to take the hardest way
That don't mean that your star is leading you astray
Forget fashion symposium
You'll get panoramic!
All I gotta say, my friend, stay aerodynamic!
All I gotta say, my friend, stay aerodynamic!

Oh, my spirit guides, lurking in the window
Never did I fit the frame invented by the gringo
Oh, my spirit guides, store up on provisions
Oh, expect nothing more or less but critical condition!
Oh, expect nothing more or less but critical condition!

Cause in the meantime in Pernambuco
Cachaça льётся
Yeah, Cachaça a-clandestina
Yeah, Cachaça da cigana

Da da da...
Russo Frevo!
Da da da...
Cachaça da cigana

Once we're there, the locals ask
"Amigo, who sent you?"
Paranoia, violence is always on the menu
But once the hospitality will dissolve the fear
Nothing but good kind of trouble
There is left to stir

Whoa my spirit guide, lurking in the window
Never did I fit the frame invented by the gringo
Oh, my spirit guide, store up on provisions
Oh, expect nothing more or less but critical condition!
Oh, expect nothing more or less but critical condition!

Cause in the meantime in Pernambuco
Cachaça льётся
Yeah, Cachaça a-clandestina
Yeah, Cachaça da cigana

Frevo, Frevo, Frevo, Frevo
Frevo, Frevo, Frevo, Frevo
Russo Frevo

Cachaça da cigana!

Just because I come from Roma camp on the hill
They put me in a school for mentally ill
Opa, opa deedeeda
All their lies about Roma

Just because I do refuse to take your pill
Any road I take leads to the Bastille

When death comes I won't be there
In fact I will not be found anywhere
Not in Nevada, not in Sahara
On Chomolungma or Guadalajara
Cause I'll be climbing top of Never-Neverest
With my contaminated friends

Gah!
Hey hey hey hey, hali hali ho, hali hali hey
Hey hey hey hey, hali hali ho, hali hali hey
Hey hey hey hey, hali hali ho, hali hali hey
Hey hey hey hey, hali hali ho, hali hali yah!

На параллелях и меридианах
Again I am, waho, Vasco da Gama
In my headphones is Bob Marley and a-Joe Strummer
I'm on a quest for solar amalgama
I'm on a quest for Never-Neverest
With my contaminated friends

Hey hey hey hey, hali hali ho, hali hali hey
Hey hey hey hey, hali hali ho, hali hali hey
Hey hey hey hey, hali hali ho, hali hali hey
Hey hey hey hey, hali hali ho, hali hali yah!

Old school, they were just nomadic forces
Kill all the men, steal all the women and the horses
Then later on, moved on to the pursuit of spices
And finally the rest of all devices

But in the wake of the Trans-continental hustle
Government cloak it went up in flames
And by the time we builded up the muscle
There was no time or space left to claim

Iglesia de la calla transcontinentau
Cigano urbano maracatu rurau

We gonna build new kind of globalizer
Without pantzer-foust or a shmiser
And may the sound of our contaminated beat
Sweep all the Nazi purists off their feet

Hey hey hey hey, hali hali ho, hali hali hey
Hey hey hey hey, hali hali ho, hali hali hey
Hey hey hey hey, hali hali ho, hali hali hey
Party!

Contamination
Amalgamation
Cross-pollination
Is on the way, on the way, on the way!
Hey hey hey hey, hali hali ho, hali hali hey
Cross-pollination, hali ho, is on the way
Contamination, ha hali ho ha ha...
