MANHATTAN TRANSFER lyrics : "Blues For Pablo"

Adios mi Corazon Iberia
Adios mi Corazon adios
Adios, adios Iberia

Adios, adios Iberia

Adios my Pablo

You know how much we'll miss you
When you finally leave us
Vaya con Dios


Over the water came a
Brother driven mad

Puttin' forth a heathen horde
On his people
To blacken human spirit'll

Make the devil glad -- glad
Things like that will make
The devil glad

Make the devil so glad
You fight your brother
Tryin' t' fight your brother

Drives you mad
And madness blinds you Pablo


Mi Pais, mi Catalonia -- When?
When you comin' home?
When you comin' home?

Well, my heart is near home
Ever home
None play our music

None paint our pictures
None make our spirit glow
My body's leaving but not me

Your face we will see
On the day that we're free
So go -- Pablo

When danger threatens I must flee

The darkness comes

With a roll of the drums

Dark! Dark!


All the people work
Yet there is no pay

No pay -- low pay
All the people work
Yet the children hunger on, Pablo


Hear me say Madre, mi Madre
The everlasting light of art

Will ever shine
As long as I'm away from home
The devil strikes without warning

Turn life's wheel aroun'
Black is white, wrong is right,
Up is down


Life is heavy 'neath these
New Conquistadores

Los Conquistadores acted nice
While at home
Madre

Mi Madre
Mi Padre
I know that you're the music

And the beauty
All I ever do
Is to keep the lamp of beauty

Burning bright to keep it alive
Keep the light alive
To keep the light alive

Keep the light alive
That's a light s' gotta live


All the people work
All the people pray
We miss you
All the people pray
For your safe returning (oh Pablo)

Will you, will you, will you,
Will you, will you please
Cast an eye overseas,
Over there, over there
Over there around the

Hispaniolas -- si Cuba
Hombre Cubano,
El comprende como sta?
Adios, mi Corazon, Iberia
Adios, o' little sons of Iberia

Adios, Adios, Adios
Adios
