MUMFORD & SONS: SIGH NO MORE.

MUMFORD & SONS is one of the bands of the last times. Their album SIGH NO MORE (2009) has been a great success. We have rescued precisely the same title song of this album. Mumford & Sons Recalls other bands like The Waterboys or Fleet Foxes. Their music style is classified as folk. While that may be oversimplifying. Because this is the debut album from a band that is still a long way to go.

LYRICS

Serve God love me and men

This is not the end

Lived unbruised we are friends

And I'm sorry

I'm sorry

Sigh no more, no more

One ? one unsure

My heart was never pure

And you know me

And you know me

And man is a giddy thing

Oh man is a giddy thing

Oh man is a giddy thing

Oh man is a giddy thing

Love that will not betray you, dismay or enslave you,

It will set you free

Be more like the man you were made to be.

There is a design,

An alignment to cry,

At my heart you see,

The beauty of love as it was made to be (x4)

LYRICS

Once I wanted to be the greatest

No wind or waterfall could STALL me

And then came the rush of the flood

The stars at night turned DEEP to dust

Melt me down

into big black armour

Leave no trace

Of grace

Just in your honor

Lower me down

TO CULPRIT SOUTH

Make 'EM WASH A SPACE IN TOWN

FOR THE LEAD

AND THE DREGS OF MY BED

I'VE BEEN SLEEPING

Lower me down

PIN ME IN

Secure the grounds

For the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest

TWO FISTS OF SOLID ROCK

WITH BRAINS THAT COULD EXPLAIN

Any feeling

Lower me down

PIN ME IN

Secure the grounds

FOR THE LEAD

AND THE DREGS OF MY BED

I'VE BEEN SLEEPING

For the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest

No wind or water fall could STALL me

And then came the rush of the flood

The stars at night turned DEEP to dust

LYRICS

Yesterday i got lost in the circus,

feeling like such a mess.

And now I'm down,

I'm just hanging on the corner.

I can't help but reminisce.

Cuz when you're gone,

all the colours fade.

When you're gone,

no new years day parade.

You're gone,

colours seem to fade.

Your mama called, she said,

that you're downstairs crying.

Feeling like such a mess.

Ya, i hear ya,

in the back ground balling.

What happened to your sweet summer time dress.

I know we all,

we all got our faults.

We get locked in our vaults,

and we stay..

When you're gone,

all the colours fade.

When you're gone,

no new years day parade.

You're gone,

colours seem to fade,

colours seem to fade.

Rufus comes from a musical family, his father is Loudon Wainwright III, Kate McGerrigale his mother and his sister Martha Wainwright. Although probably the genius of the family is him.

LYRICS

The mind has so many pictures

Why can't I sleep with my eyes open

The mind has so many memories

Can you remember what it looks like when I cry

I'm Trying, trying to tell you

All that I can in a sweet and velvet tongue

But no words ever could sell you

Sell you on me after all that I have done

I'm only the one you love

Am I only the one you love?

The Lady Gloom and her hornets circling round

Is now before us, the screaming's done without moving

One little move and for sure you will be stung

I'm singing "Oh, Jerusalem oh, Jerusalem

See what he's picked up in the park"

Let's f**k this awful art party

Want you to make love to me and only to me in the dark

I'm only the one you love

Am I only the one you love?

We've traded in our snap shots

We're going through the motions

Into the view, I'm leaving you

Down Conduit Avenue into the early morning

Into the early morning

The one I love

Are you only the one I love?

LYRICS

Afuera el frío arruga la ciudad

y el tiempo sólo existe para los que están

deben ser cuatrocientos años los que se van

las manos son ya ciegas de planchar un plan

Sueño con escapar de este berenjenal

y el mar sólo lo vi en "de aquí a la eternidad"

La encontraron dormida en una rama

la encontraron perdida en una plaza

la encontraron dormida y con el alma lejos,

volando lejos

Asola el pensamiento la agonía de pensar

pensar en tantos valses que pude bailar

domestiqué una culpa por soñar tan mal

con príncipes que no temieran naufragar

Sueño con escapar de este berenjenal

y adentro sufro sola, por no saber gritar

La encontraron...

Tengo el presentimiento de alguna verdad

se agolpa en el recuerdo que futuro no hay

los ojos se me cierran y aún he de limpiar

mañana dulcemente tengo que acabar

De tejer el ayer, recorrer un mantel

poblado de unos niños que yo amamanté

La encontraron...

La princesa se fue su sonrisa mostró

el cuerpo un poco mustio de zurcir tanto el amor

La encontraron...

Its main components were Carles Sabater, singer, and Pep Sala, who played guitar and sometimes keyboards. The group was formed in 1987 and lasted until 1999 when the death of Carles Sabater. We have chosen one of their most emblematic song: BOIG PER TU (Quina Nit, 1990). Some people know this song sung by LUZ CASAL and adapted to Castilian with the title ES POR TI. Then hear the two versions.

LYRICS

A la terra humida escric
nena estic boig per tu,
em passo els dies
esperant la nit.

Com et puc estimar
si de mi estàs tan lluny;
servil i acabat
boig per tu.

Sé molt bé que des d'aquest bar
jo no puc arribar on ets tu,
però dins la meva copa veig
reflexada la teva llum, me la beuré;
servil i acabat, boig per tu.

Quan no hi siguis al matí,
les llàgrimes es perdran
entre la pluja
que caurà avui.

Em quedaré atrapat
ebri d'aquesta llum
servil i acabat
boig per tu.

Sé molt bé que des d'aquest bar
jo no puc arribar on ets tu,
però dins la meva copa veig
reflexada la teva llum, me la beuré;
servil i acabat boig per tu.

LYRICS

I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice

Be afraid of the lame, they'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old, they'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold, they'll inherit your blood
Après moi, le deluge, after me comes the flood

I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice

Be afraid of the lame, they'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old, they'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold, they'll inherit your blood
Après moi le deluge, after me comes the flood

Fevrale dostat chernil i plakat
Pisat O Fevrale navsnryd
Poka grohochushaya slyakot
Vesnoyu charnoyu gorit

Be afraid of the lame, they'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old, they'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold, they'll inherit your blood
Après moi le deluge, after me comes the flood

I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I must go on standing
I'm not my own, It's not my choice

I must go on stan-stan-ding-ding
You can't, can't break that, that
Which isn't, isn't yours, yours
I'm not, not my own, own
It's not, not my choice, choice
