"The Raven" from Karliene

Oh raven,
an omen you warn,
you've circled my head,
from the day I was born.


Oh raven,
there's blood in your eyes,
oh what have you seen?
what will happen to me?


Oh raven,
you shadow my soul,
forewarning a storm,
so cruel and so cold.


Oh raven,
do lend me your eyes,
and show me my fate
so I may survive.


Oh, oh raven,
oh, oh raven,
oh, oh raven, raven


Oh, oh raven,
oh, oh raven,
oh, oh raven, raven


Oh raven,
there's blood in your eyes,
oh what have you seen?
what will happen to me?


Oh raven,
you shadow my soul,
forewarning a storm,
so cruel and so cold


Oh raven,
do lend me your eyes,
and show me my fate
so I may survive.

"Elizabeth's Lullaby" from Karliene

Eyes sapphire blue,
pale skin like the moon,
with a crown of fire and gold
You will be loved,
this I know to be true
my sweet  little baby girl


They'll travel so far
to revere and admire
the Princess of fire and gold.
For you will be loved,
you will rouse and inspire
my beautiful, flame headed girl


I'll watch you grow strong,
see the lion you'll become
with a mane of fire and gold.
Oh you will be loved,
and I'll be so proud,
my beautiful, flame headed girl


And when the night comes,
you will rise like a sun,
my daughter of fire and gold,
And you will be loved
as you shine from above
my beautiful, flame headed girl.


So sleep my love, sleep
I'll be here as you dream,
kiss your hair of fire and gold,
Oh you are so loved,
you're the heart of me,
my beautiful, sweet baby girl.

Noble Maiden Fair (A Mhaighdean Bhan Uasal)

A naoidhean bhig, duinn mo ghuth
Mise ri d'thaobh, O mhaighdean bhan
Ar righinn oig, fac as faic
Do thir, dileas fhein
A ghrian a's ghealaich, stuir sin
Gu uair ar cliu s ar gloire
Naoidhean bhig, ar righinn og
Mhaighdean uashaill bhan


[English Lyrics Translation]:
Little baby, hear my voice
I'm beside you, O maiden fair
Our young Lady, grow and see
Your land, your own faithful land
Sun and moon, guide us
To the hour of our glory and honour
Little baby, our young Lady
Noble maiden fair

"The Woman of Balnain" from Karliene

I am a woman of Balnain,
The folk have stolen me over again,
the stones seemed to say
I stood upon the hill, and wind did rise,
and the sound of thunder rolled across the land,
I placed my hands upon the tallest Stone
and travelled to far, distant land,
where I lived for a time among strangers
who became lovers and friends
But one day, I saw the moon came out
and the wind rose once more,
so I touched the stones
and travelled back to my own land
and took up again with the man I had left behind.

"Last of the Bards" from Karliene

I was born in the heather
in my sweet Northern Land
with a song in my ears
and a lute in my hand


and I've travelled the plains
collecting the sounds
and the stories of of friends
that I sing about now


And they call me the last of the Bards
when I open my lungs
and I spill out my heart
They call me the last of the Bards
when I sing my old fashioned songs


And I tried not to cry
when I left my sweet home
where the old pipes were playing
my favourite song


And I still hear it now
on the cold Northern wind
and I sing it aloud
for the people I miss


And the call the last of the Bards
when I open my lungs
and I spill out my heart
They call me the last of the Bards
when I sing my old fashioned songs


I was born in the heather
in my sweet Northern Land
with a song in my ears
and a lute in my hand


And I've travelled  the plains
collecting the sound
and the stories of friends
that I sing about now


And the call the last of the Bards
when I open my lungs
and I spill out of my heart
They call me the last of the Bards
when I sing my old fashioned songs


La la la, la la la, ...

The Skye Boat Song

Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
Say, could that lass be I?
Merry of soul she sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye.


Mull was astern, rum on the port,
Eigg, on the starboard bow;
Glory of youth glowed in his soul;
Where is that glory now?


Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
Say, could that lass be I?
Merry of soul she sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye.


Give me again all
that was there,
Give me the sun
that shone!
Give me the eyes,
give me the soul,
give the lass
that's gone!


Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
Say, could that lass be I?
Merry of soul she sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye.


Billow and breeze, islands and seas
Mountains of rain and sun
All that was good, all that was fair
All that was me, is gone


Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
Say, could that lass be I?
Merry of soul she sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye.

See You Again (Whiz Khalifa feat. Charlie Puth)

[Charlie Puth:] It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again
(Hey)

[Wiz Khalifa:]
Damn, who knew?
All the planes we flew
Good things we've been through
That I'll be standing right here talking to you
'Bout another path
I know we loved to hit the road and laugh
But something told me that it wouldn't last
Had to switch up
Look at things different, see the bigger picture
Those were the days
Hard work forever pays
Now I see you in a better place (see you in a better place)

Uh
How can we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gon' be with me for the last ride

[Charlie Puth:]
It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again (I see you again)
We've come a long way (yeah, we came a long way) from where we began (you know we started)
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I'll see you again (let me tell you)
When I'll see you again

(Aah oh, aah oh
Wooooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yeah

[Wiz Khalifa:]
First you both go out your way
And the vibe is feeling strong
And what's small turn to a friendship
A friendship turn to a bond
And that bond will never be broken
The love will never get lost (and the love will never get lost)
And when brotherhood come first
Then the line will never be crossed
Established it on our own
When that line had to be drawn
And that line is what we reach
So remember me when I'm gone (remember me when I'm gone)

How can we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gon' be with me for the last ride

[Charlie Puth:]
So let the light guide your way, yeah
Hold every memory as you go
And every road you take, will always lead you home, home

It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again

(Aah oh)
(Uh)
(Aah oh)
(Yeah)
(Wooooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Ya, ya)
When I see you again
(Uh)
See you again
(Wooooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh)
When I see you again

Glory

One day, when the glory comes
It will be ours, it will be ours
Oh, one day, when the war is one
We will be sure, we will be here sure
Oh, glory, glory
Oh, glory, glory

Hands to the Heavens, no man, no weapon
Formed against, yes glory is destined
Every day women and men become legends
Sins that go against our skin become blessings
The movement is a rhythm to us
Freedom is like religion to us
Justice is juxtaposition in us
Justice for all just ain't specific enough
One son died, his spirit is revisitin' us
Truant livin' livin' in us, resistance is us
That's why Rosa sat on the bus
That's why we walk through Ferguson with our hands up
When it go down we woman and man up
They say, "Stay down" and we stand up
Shots, we on the ground, the camera panned up
King pointed to the mountain top and we ran up

One day, when the glory comes
It will be ours, it will be ours
Oh, one day, when the war is one
We will be sure, we will be here sure
Oh, glory, glory
Oh, glory, glory glory

JOHN LEGEND FT. COMMON, Glory

El Señor de la Muerte (punyabi)

Érase una vez un camino en el que morían cuantos viajeros lo recorrían. Había quien decía que era una serpiente quien los mataba y había quien decía que era un escorpión, pero la cuestión era que todos morían. En una ocasión un hombre muy anciano que andaba por el camino tomó asiento en una piedra al sentirse fatigado y de pronto vio ante él un gigantesco escorpión. Grande como un gallo, el escorpión se transformó en serpiente ante sus propios ojos y se alejó reptando. Atónito, el viejo decidió seguirlo a cierta distancia para descubrir qué era en realidad.

Día y noche, la serpiente se deslizaba de acá para allá y tras ella iba, como su sombra, el anciano. Una vez entró en una posada y mató a varios viajeros; en otra ocasión se coló en el palacio y mató al mismísimo rey. Trepó por el canalón de los aposentos de la reina y dio muerte a la menor de sus hijas. Así continuaron las cosas, y allá donde fuera pronto resonaban llantos y gemidos, y el anciano la seguía, silencioso como una sombra.
El camino se convirtió de pronto en un río ancho y profundo, en cuyas orillas aguardaban viajeros pobres que deseaban cruzarlo y no tenían dinero para pagar al barquero. La serpiente se convirtió entonces en un hermoso búfalo, con un collar de latón al cuello del que colgaban varios cencerros, y se plantó en el río. Al verlo, los viajeros dijeron:
-Este animal va a volver a casa cruzando el río a nado. Nos llevará a la otra orilla si nos matamos sobre su lomo y nos agarramos a su cola.
Montaron, pues, sobre él y el búfalo se lanzó al agua. Al llegar a la mitad del río, donde era más profundo, se puso a patear y a dar tales sacudidas que tiró a los viajeros o se desprendió de ellos. Todos se ahogaron.
El viejo cruzó en la barca y al llegar a la margen opuesta el búfalo había desaparecido y en su lugar había un espléndido buey. Al ver aquel magnífico ejemplar merodeando a sus anchas sin que hubiera señales de su dueño, un campesino se encaprichó con él y lo atrajo a casa. El buey era muy manso y permitió que lo atase junto al resto del ganado. Pero en plena noche se transformó en serpiente, mordió a todo el rebaño, mató a los habitantes de la casa mientras dormían y se fue furtivamente. Tras ella iba el viejo, silencioso como una sombra.
Llegaron poco después a otro río y allí la serpiente adoptó la apariencia de una bella joven engalanada de joyas de pies a cabeza. Dos hermanos, soldados ambos, acertaron a pasar por allí al rato y cuando se acercaban a la muchacha, ella prorrumpió en amargos sollozos.
-¿Qué te pasa? -preguntaron los hermano-. ¿Por qué una mujer tan guapa y joven como tú está aquí sola?
La mujer serpiente respondió así:
-Mi marido me llevaba de vuelta a casa. Mientras esperábamos a la barca, fue a lavarse la cara, resbaló en una piedra, cayó al río y se ahogó. No tengo a nadie más, mis parientes viven muy lejos.
-Nada debes temer -dijo el mayor de los hermanos, a quien la belleza de la mujer había cautivado-. Si vienes conmigo y te haces mi esposa, yo cuidaré de ti.
-Con dos condiciones -replicó la mujer-. Nunca debes pedirme que mueva un dedo en las faenas de la casa. Y tendrás que darme todo lo que te pida.
-¡Te obedeceré como un esclavo! -exclamó el joven.
-Entonces ve a ese pozo a traerme un tazón de agua. Tu hermano se quedará acompañándome -dijo la muchacha, y, en cuanto el hermano mayor volvió la espalda, le dijo al hermano menor-: vayámonos antes de que vuelva. Te amo a ti. Le he mandado a por agua para librarme de él.
-No, no -dijo el joven-. Le has prometido hacerte su esposa. Para mí eres como una hermana.
La mujer montó en cólera al oír esto. Al ver que el hermano mayor regresaba con el agua, se puso a llorar y a lamentarse a voces.
-Este hermano tuyo es  un mal hombre -le dijo a gritos-. ¡Me ha pedido que me fugue con él y te deje a ti plantado!
Sin dar tiempo al hermano pequeño a decir una palabra, el mayor desenvainó la espada y se enzarzaron en una pelea. Todo el día estuvieron luchando y al caer la tarde ambos yacían muertos a la orilla del río. Entonces, la mujer volvió a transformarse en serpiente y el anciano la siguió, silencioso como una sombra.
Por último, la serpiente se convirtió en un anciano de barba blanca. Cuando el viejo que la seguía vio a otro hombre de su edad, se armó de valor para acercarse a él y preguntarle:
-¿Quién o qué eres?
El viejecillo de barba cana sonrió y dijo:
-Algunos me llaman el Señor de la Muerte, porque recorro el mundo sembrando la muerte.
-¡Mátame a mí! -le rogó el anciano-. Llevo muchos días siguiéndote y he sido testigo de tus artimañas. Estoy harto de la vida.
-Ah, no, todavía no -repuso el Señor de la Muerte, sacudiendo la cabeza-. Sólo doy muerte a aquellos a quienes les ha llegado su hora. ¡A ti te quedan sesenta años de vida por delante!
Y dicho esto, el viejo de barba blanca se esfumó. Pero ¿era realmente el Señor de la Muerte o era un demonio? ¿Quién lo puede saber?
