Day-O (Banana Boat Song) - Harry Belafonte

Came in for the embers Stayed out for the breeze I need to feel elements to remind me There's beauty when it's bleak Stuck out long before lights down Why do I breathe? Oh, I know The more that I love, the less that I feel The times that I jumped never were real They say that all scars will heal, but I know Maybe I won't But the waves won't break my boat But the waves won't break my boat Stones crash on the boardwalk The wind rush through the trees I keep my eyes peeled The memories always fall short Of what we could've been Left out long before last call What do I need? Oh, I know The more that I love, the less that I feel The times that I jumped never were real They say that all scars will heal, but I know Maybe I won't But the waves won't break my boat But the waves won't break my boat But the waves won't break my boat The waves won't break my boat The more that I love, the less that I feel The times that I jumped never were real They say that all scars will heal, but I know Maybe I won't And the waves won't break my boat

One day, one day, one day Sometimes I lay under the moon And thank God I'm breathin' Then I pray, "Don't take me soon 'Cause I am here for a reason" Sometimes in my tears I drown But I never let it get me down So when negativity surrounds I know someday, it'll all turn around because All my life, I've been waitin' for I've been prayin' for, for the people to say That we don't wanna fight no more There'll be no more wars, and our children will play One day (one day), one day (one day) One day (oh-oh-oh) One day (one day), one day (one day) One day (oh-oh-oh) It's not about win or lose 'Cause we all lose when they feed on the souls of the innocent Blood-drenched pavement Keep on movin' though the waters stay ragin' In this maze, you can lose your way, your way It might drive you crazy But don't let it faze you, no way, no way Sometimes in my tears I drown (I drown) But I never let it get me down (get me down) So when negativity surrounds (surrounds) I know someday, it'll all turn around because All my life, I've been waitin' for (waitin' for) I've been prayin' for (prayin' for), for the people to say That we don't wanna fight no more (fight no more) There'll be no more wars (no more wars), and our children will play One day (one day), one day (one day) One day (oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, one day) One day (one day), one day (one day) One day (oh-oh-oh) One day, this all will change, treat people the same Stop with the violence, down with the hate One day, we'll all be free and proud to be Under the same sun, singin' songs of freedom like Wah-yo (one day, one day), wah-yo, oh, oh (oh-oh-oh) Wah-yo (one day, one day), wah-yo, oh, oh (oh-oh-oh) All my life, I've been waitin' for I've been prayin' for, for the people to say That we don't wanna fight no more There'll be no more wars, and our children will play One day (one day), one day (one day) One day (oh-oh-oh) One day (one day), one day (one day) One day (oh-oh-oh) One day, one day, one day

Te vi, me viste, al principio fue una broma Luego la verdad se asoma Intercambiamos sonrisas Pasó algún tiempo, poco menos de una hora Y por debajo de la mesa Tu tacón tocó mi bota Fue más sencillo que hacer la tabla del uno y a la hora del desayuno Ya sabía que te amaba A las semanas de iniciar con la aventura Se nos hizo miel la luna y un concierto pa Tijuana Era prohibido, era imposible, pero hicimos lo que se nos dio la gana Después de eso nos veíamos casi a diario Nuestro amigo el calendario Nos dio 400 citas De tanto amarnos nos volvimos dos extraños No sé quién toma hoy tu mano Ni tú, dónde estoy ahorita Fue más sencillo que hacer la tabla del uno y a la hora del desayuno Ya sabía que te amaba A las semanas de iniciar con la aventura Se nos hizo miel la luna y un concierto pa Tijuana Era prohibido, era imposible, pero hicimos lo que se nos dio la gana, yeh-hey Pasando el tiempo, analizando la ruptura, la versión que tiene el lobo No es la de Caperucita De tanto amarnos, nos volvimos dos extraños No sé quién toma hoy tu mano, ni tú, dónde estoy ahorita Seguramente pa la otra que nos veamos repitamos Lo de la primera cita, yeah, eh-eh-eh-eh Uh, mmh-mmh-mmh, mmh

Miras con tanta dulzura, hermosa criatura Tú mi bello ángel que cayó del cielo Soy un simple pobre diablo que corrió con suerte Que logró obtenerte por obra divina Pues en cada esquina te busqué Solo tú eres la persona La que me ilusiona, la que me emociona Por ti pierdo el rumbo y en cada segundo Me voy de este mundo con sentirte a ti Entre el cielo y el infierno Solo hay un espacio, solo hay un abismo Es que yo pierdo el ritmo cuando me abandonas Y me quedo solo, solo sin ti Viniste a reconformarme, a rehabilitarme Tú mi bello ángel, yo estaba perdido Siento que después de ti yo soy otra persona Ya no me conozco, ¿qué paso conmigo? Por eso te digo que tú Solo tú eres la persona La que me ilusiona, la que me emociona Por ti pierdo el rumbo y en cada segundo Me voy de este mundo con sentirte a ti Entre el cielo y el infierno Solo hay un espacio, solo hay un abismo Es que yo pierdo el ritmo cuando me abandonas Y me quedo solo, solo sin ti Solo tú eres la persona La que me ilusiona, la que me emociona Por ti pierdo el rumbo y en cada segundo Me voy de este mundo con sentirte a ti Entre el cielo y el infierno Solo hay un espacio, solo hay un abismo Es que yo pierdo el ritmo cuando me abandonas Y me quedo solo, solo sin ti

Compa ¿Qué le parece esa morra? La que anda bailando sola Me gusta pa' mí Bella Ella sabe que está buena Que todos andan mirándola cómo baila Me acerco Y le tiro todo un verbo Tomamos tragos sin peros solo tentación Le dije "Voy a conquistar tu familia" Que en unos días, vas a ser mía Me dijo Que estoy muy loco, pero le gusta Que ningún vato como yo actúa Ahí te va mija Y pura doble P viejo Así no más compa Pedro puro Eslabón Armado A las plebitas (cha-chau) No soy Un vato que tiene varo Pero hablando del corazón Te cumplo todo Me agarro Pegadito de su mano Mi compa ni se la creyó Que al pasar fui yo Su cuerpo Juro por Dios, que era tan perfecta Su cintura como modelo Sus ojos Desde el principio me enamoraron A ella le gusto Y a mí me gusta

Every little part of me Is holding on to every little piece of you Is holding on to every drop of blood you drew Is holding onto you And every waking hour I spend Holding out for reasons not to go to bed I'm holding out for someone else to hold instead If every hope of you is dead 'Cause every night since you cut and run I feel like the only one who's ever been the lonely one Trying to mend a heart that keeps breaking With every step that you're taking 'Cause you've been running circles 'round My mind, turnin' me inside out And I fell for you, but hit the ground 'Cause the only love I've known has let me Down, and I need liftin' up Now you ain't here I'm sleeping rough And I'm prayin' I can pray enough So wakin' up without you ain't so tough I find it hard to find my feet When I keep on stumbling over you and me But I keep on trying 'cause I know I need To outrun the memories And every day, I'm reminded of The way I let it come undone I feel like the lonely one The only one with time worth wasting Well, I still can't stop chasing 'Cause you've been running circles 'round My mind, turnin' me inside out And I fell for you, but hit the ground 'Cause the only love I've known has let me Down, and I need liftin' up Now you ain't here I'm sleeping rough And I'm prayin' I can pray enough So wakin' up without you ain't so tough, oh Tough, oh, tough So wakin' up without you Say I Thought I was talkin' to you Say I I guess I'm talkin' to myself Me and nobody else 'Cause you've been running circles 'round My mind, turnin' me inside out And I fell for you, but hit the ground 'Cause the only love I've known has let me Down, and I need liftin' up Now you ain't here I'm sleeping rough And I'm prayin' I can pray enough So wakin' up without you ain't so tough
