As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains.
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was countin'.
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier.
I said stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya.

I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny.
I took all of his money and I brought it home to Molly.

But the devil take that woman, yeah for you know she tricked me easy.

TRADUCCION

Mientras iba por
Las montañas Cork y Kerry
Ví al Capitán Farrell
Su dinero estaba contando
Primero saqué mi pistola
Y luego saqué mi espadín
Dije "la bolsa o la vida,
O el diablo puede llevarte"

Tomé todo su dinero
Y era un dineral
Tomé todo su dinero
E hice que Molly se diera cuenta
Ella juró que me amaría
Que nunca me dajaría
Pero que el diablo se lleve a esa mujer
Porque sabes que me engaño fácil

Estribillo:
Musha rig dam a du dam a da
Una golpe para mi papá-o
Una golpe para mi papá-o
Hay whiskey en el frasco-o

Estando borracho y cansado
Fui al dormitorio de Molly
Llevando a Molly conmigo
No conocía el peligro
Parque a eso de las seis o tal vez las siete
Entró el Capitán Farrell
Me levante de un salto, disparé mis pistolas
Y lo fusilé con los dos cañones

(Estribillo)

Ahora a algunos hombres les gusta la pesca
Y a algunos hombres les gusta la caza
Y a algunos hombres les gusta escuchar
Escuchar rugir la bala de cañón
Pero a mi me gusta dormir
Especialmente en el dormitorio de mi Molly
Pero aquí estoy, en la carcel
Aquí estoy con una bola y una cadena, si

Love rescue me
Come forth and speak to me
Raise me up and don't let me fall
No man is my enemy
My own hands imprison me
Love rescue me

Many strangers have I met
On the road to my regret
Many lost who seek to find themselves in me
They ask me to reveal
The very thoughts they would conceal
Love rescue me

And the sun in the sky
Makes a shadow of you and I
Stretching out as the sun sinks in the sea
I'm here without a name
In the palace of my shame
Said, love rescue me

In the cold mirror of a glass
I see my reflection pass
See the dark shades of what I used to be
See the purple of her eyes
The scarlet of my lies
Love rescue me

Yea, though I walk
In the valley of shadow
Yea, I will fear no evil
I have cursed thy rod and staff
They no longer comfort me
Love rescue me

Sha la la...sha la la la
Sha la la la...ha la la...
Sha la la la...sha la la la
Sha la la la...sha la la
Sha la la la...sha la la la
Sha la la...
I said love, love rescue me

I said love
Climb up the mountains, said love
I said love, oh my love
On the hill of the son
I'm on the eve of a storm
And my word you must believe in
Oh, I said love, rescue me
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah...

Yeah I'm here without a name
In the palace of my shame
I said love rescue me

I've conquered my past
The future is here at last
I stand at the entrance
To a new world I can see
The ruins to the right of me
Will soon have lost sight of me
Love rescue me

U2 & Leonard Cohen-Tower of song

Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey 
I ache in the places where I used to play 
And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on 
I'm just paying my rent every day 
Oh in the Tower of Song 

I said to Hank Williams: how lonely does it get? 
Hank Williams hasn't answered yet 
But I hear him coughing all night long 
A hundred floors above me 
In the Tower of Song 

I was born like this, I had no choice 
I was born with the gift of a golden voice 
And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond 
They tied me to this table right here 
In the Tower of Song 

So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll 
I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all 
I'm standing by the window where the light is strong 
Ah they don't let a woman kill you 
Not in the Tower of Song 

Now you can say that I've grown bitter but of this you may be sure 
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor 
And there's a mighty judgement coming, but I may be wrong 
You see, you hear these funny voices 
In the Tower of Song 

I see you standing on the other side 
I don't know how the river got so wide 
I loved you baby, way back when 
And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed 
But I feel so close to everything that we lost 
We'll never have to lose it again 

Now I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back 
There moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track 
But you'll be hearing from me baby, long after I'm gone 
I'll be speaking to you sweetly 
From a window in the Tower of Song 

Yeah my friends are gone and my hair is grey 
I ache in the places where I used to play 
And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on 
I'm just paying my rent every day 
Oh in the Tower of Song

Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - Bono

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmellow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high
Newpaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.

Across The Universe - I'm The Walrus - Bus Scene - Bono

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together. 
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly. 
I'm crying. 

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come. 
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday. 
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long. 
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen. 
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.

Mister City Policeman sitting 
Pretty little policemen in a row. 
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run. 
I'm crying, I'm crying. 
I'm crying, I'm crying. 

Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye. 
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess, 
Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down. 
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen. 
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob. 

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun. 
If the sun don't come, you get a tan 
From standing in the English rain. 
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen. 
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob. 

Expert textpert choking smokers, 
Don't you thing the joker laughs at you? 
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, 
See how they snied. 
I'm crying. 

Semolina pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower. 
Elementary penguin singing Hari Krishna. 
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe. 
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen. 
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob. 
Goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob g'goo.
