Spem In Alium – Thomas Tallis

Anybody here because of a genuine interest and love of good music, and not because of some shitty half-baked erotic novel?

VANESSA DA MATA + BEN HARPER Boa Sorte (Good Luck)

Tudo o que quer me dar / Everything you want to give me É demais / It’s too much É pesado / It’s heavy Não há paz / There’s no peace Tudo o que quer de mim / All you want from me Irreais / Isn’t real Expectativas / That expectations Desleais Now we’re falling Falling, falling Falling into the night Into the night Falling, falling, falling Falling into the night

Mesmo se segure Quero que se cure Dessa pessoa Que o aconselha Há um desencontro Veja por esse ponto Há tantas pessoas especiais Now even if you hold yourself I want you to get cured From this person Who advises you There is a disconnection See through this point of view There are so many special People in the world So many special People in the world In the world All you want All you want

That’s it There’s no way It’s over, good luck I’ve nothing left to say It’s only words And what l feel Won’t change Tudo o que quer me dar / Everything you want to give me É demais / It’s too much É pesado / It’s heavy Não há paz / There is no peace Tudo o que quer de mim / All you want from me Irreais / Isn’t real Expectativas / Expectations Desleais

É só isso Não tem mais jeito Acabou, boa sorte Não tenho o que dizer São só palavras E o que eu sinto Não mudará Tudo o que quer me dar É demais É pesado Não há paz Tudo o que quer de mim Irreais Expectativas Desleais

Phoenix – Rome

 

The sound is so somber and happy at the same time, and the mellow vocals and slightly upbeat tempo compliment each other too well

Thé à la menthe – La Caution

Jeune, j’ai souvenir d’une « Mme Nicole »
instit’ qui pensait qu’un Bougnoule n’était pas fait pour l’école !
J’portais un velours troué, des bottes rouges en plastique,
une cagoule en laine, un chandail ou des « Play-Basket ».
Le coiffeur ne savait même pas encore que j’existais !
Mais , soit sûr que le 1er qui nous a vus s’est désisté !
Pourtant jeune et innocent, la morve au nez sans Kleenex,
on squatte le bac à sable avec nos « Shabs » et nos idées
afin de faire du vandalisme même sans le savoir !
Nos parents n’ont pas donc on erre sans avoir !
D’après nos voisins, de gros racistes, je le précise,
nous étions mal élevés et leurs bergers allemands mieux dressés !
Moi, j’y crois pas , d’ailleurs j’y ai jamais cru
car , parental est le seul amour que j’ai jamais eu !
Donc pour pas se véner, ce qui me met à l’amende :
les vertus du « Naanaa » donc du thé à la menthe !

HI-TEKK :

1ère époque bidonville, ambiance clandestine dans un bar à Barbès :
thé à la menthe, couscous et tagines à la carte.
Plus de scopitones pour Mouloud et Saïd AbdAllah.
Avec un sale accent, pas de salamaleks me dit Hassan l’athlète
originaires d’Algérie , d’Hollywood à Tamanrasset.
Plus de thé à la menthe, juste des palabres amères !
Comme un malade mental, j’ai mal à la tête, je cavale en
stan-smith adidas, jean 501, ça va j’m’en tape !
Ici c’est v’là l’attentat, pour quelques douzes de plus, y a des
carnages dans l’air.
Cette France me désintègre : on classe l’Arabe comme un barbare bancal !
Nique la culture du barbecue, du steak et des fast-foods !
Au bled , c’est la djellaba et les sandales, d’Oujda à Casablanca,
c’est banal en bas de la tess, je m’emmerde et je pèse que dalle.
Ça se balafre en bas de mon hall, ma peine et ma joie se confondent,
et c’est tout ce qui reste de notre héritage culturel !

NIKKFURIE :

Une adolescence « Nastase et 501, Pento, cassette de funk et le daron en 505 ».
Mais vint le mot « Problème » avec un grand P,
face auquel tout le monde a tremblé ou trempé !
Après l’innocence, le pessimisme s’est ancré,
devant l’incandescence, le droit chemin s’est cambré !
Je lui ai tendu la main et le bonheur m’a crampé,
genre « seul l’argent et l’honneur peut me rendre vrai » !
Mais ici, on peut t ‘accuser de choses que si t’avais fait : tu te pendrais !
Il leur faut un arabe, un noir, c’que tu veux , bref du concret !
On a eu la chance de ne jamais se prendre au sérieux…
Côtoyer le vice sans jamais faire le saut périlleux.
Modelant notre vie loin du saut de l’ange…
A l’école , nous, vautours, contre l’albatros de Baudelaire !
On s’est retrouvé dans le rap contre toute réelle attente…
La recette : Sampler, stylo et thé à la menthe !

NIKKFURIE:

Boy, I remember Mrs. Nicole
A teacher who thought a raghead wasn’t made for school!
I wore ragged velour, and red boots made of plastic,
A wool jacket, a t-shirt or some “Play-Basket”.
The barber didn’t even know that I existed!
However young and innocent, the snot on our noses with no Kleenex,
we squatted in the sandbox with our “Buds” and our ideas,
born to vandalize without even knowing it!
Our parents didn’t have so we erred without having!
According to our neighbors, blatant racists, to put it best,
we were badly raised and their German shepherds better dressed!
Me, I don’t believe it, and I never did
because parental is the only love that I ever had!
Thus for not loving myself, what puts me on the mend:
The virtues of “Naanaa” or some tea with mint!

HI-TEKK:

First generation slum, clandestine environment in a bar in Barbès:
tea with mint, couscous and tagines a la carte.
More scopitones for Mouloud and Said Abdullah.
With a dirty accent, no “Peace to you” said Hassan the athlete
originally from Algiers, from Hollywood to Tamanrasset.
More tea with mint, just bitter words!
Like a mental illness, I have a headache, I cavort
in stan-smith adidas, 501 jeans, it’s O.K., I’m stuck with them.
Here, there’s the assault, for a dozen more, there will be blood in the air.
This France tears me apart: an Arab is classed as a bandy-legged barbarian!
Fuck the culture of barbecue, steak and fast food!
In the bled, it’s djellaba and sandals, from Oujda to Casablanca,
it’s banal at the bottom of the city, I’m pissed and I don’t give a shit.
It slashes at the base of my home; my pain and my joy are mingled
and that’s all that remains of our cultural heritage.

NIKKFURIE:

An adolescence “Nastase and 501, Pento, funk cassettes and Daron in 505″.
But as soon as the the word “Problem” comes with a capital P,
in the face of which all the world trembles or deceives!
After innocence, pessimism takes root
before incandescence, the right road bends,
I took his hand and my happiness cramped me,
along the lines of “only money and honor can make me real!”
But here, one can accuse you of things that if you did them, you would hang!
They need an Arab, a black, what you will, in short something concrete!
One is lucky never to be taken seriously . . .
Approach vice without ever going over the edge.
Modeling our long life on the flight of an angel . .
In school, we, vultures, against the albatross of Baudelaire!
One finds oneself in rap despite every real expectation . . .
The recipe: Sampler, pen, and tea with mint!

Flobots – No handle bars (Dj Shadow remix) – grandi verità in un breve testo

I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars

I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars

Look at me, look at me
hands in the air like it’s good to be
ALIVE
and I’m a famous rapper
even when the paths’re all crookedy
I can show you how to do-si-do
I can show you how to scratch a record
I can take apart the remote control
And I can almost put it back together
I can tie a knot in a cherry stem
I can tell you about Leif Ericson
I know all the words to “De Colores”
And “I’m Proud to be an American”
Me and my friend saw a platypus
Me and my friend made a comic book
And guess how long it took
I can do anything that I want cuz, look:

I can keep rhythm with no metronome
No metronome
No metronome

I can see your face on the telephone
On the telephone
On the telephone

Look at me
Look at me
Just called to say that it’s good to be
ALIVE
In such a small world
All curled up with a book to read
I can make money open up a thrift store
I can make a living off a magazine
I can design an engine sixty four
Miles to a gallon of gasoline
I can make new antibiotics
I can make computers survive aquatic conditions
I know how to run a business
And I can make you wanna buy a product
Movers shakers and producers
Me and my friends understand the future
I see the strings that control the systems
I can do anything with no assistance
I can lead a nation with a microphone
With a microphone
With a microphone
I can split the atoms of a molecule
Of a molecule
Of a molecule

Look at me
Look at me
Driving and I won’t stop
And it feels so good to be
Alive and on top
My reach is global
My tower secure
My cause is noble
My power is pure
I can hand out a million vaccinations
Or let’em all die in exasperation
Have’em all healed of their lacerations
Have’em all killed by assassination
I can make anybody go to prison
Just because I don’t like’em and
I can do anything with no permission
I have it all under my command
I can guide a missile by satellite
By satellite
By satellite
and I can hit a target through a telescope
Through a telescope
Through a telescope
and I can end the planet in a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust

I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars

I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars
