Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin'.

We're finally on our own.

This summer I hear the drummin'.

Four dead in Ohio.

 

Gotta get down to it.

Soldiers are gunning us down.

Should have been done long ago.

What if you knew her and

Found her dead on the ground?

How can you run when you know?

 

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.

 

 

Gotta get down to it.

Soldiers are cutting us down.

Should have been done long ago.

What if you knew her and

Found her dead on the ground?

How can you run when you know?

 

Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin'.

We're finally on our own.

Four dead in Ohio.

Four dead in Ohio.

Four dead in Ohio.

Four dead in Ohio.

Four dead in Ohio.

Four dead in Ohio.

Four dead in Ohio.

Four dead in Ohio.

Four dead in Ohio.

Chicago ~ Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young

Though your brother's bound and gagged

And they've chained him to a chair

Won't you please come to Chicago

Just to sing

 

In a land that's known as freedom

How can such a thing be fair

Won't you please come to Chicago

For the help that we can bring

 

We can change the world

Re-arrange the world

It's dying ... to get better

 

Politicians sit yourself down

There's nothing for you here

Won't you please come to Chicago

For a ride

 

Don't ask Jack to help you

'Cause he'll turn the other ear

Won't you please come to Chicago

Or else join the other side

 

We can change the world

Re-arrange the world

 

It's dying ... if you believe in justice

It's dying ... and if you believe in freedom

It's dying ... let a man live his own life

It's dying ... rules and regulations, who needs them

Open up the door

 

Somehow people must be free

I hope the day comes soon

Won't you please come to Chicago

Show your face

 

From the bottum of the ocean

To the mountains on the moon

Won't you please come to Chicago

No one else can take your place

"Southern Man"

 

[YOUTUBE]rxSP5E5va-g[/YOUTUBE]

 

 

Southern man

better keep your head

Don't forget

what your good book said

Southern change

gonna come at last

Now your crosses

are burning fast

Southern man

 

I saw cotton

and I saw black

Tall white mansions

and little shacks.

Southern man

when will you

pay them back?

I heard screamin'

and bullwhips cracking

How long? How long?

 

Southern man

better keep your head

Don't forget

what your good book said

Southern change

gonna come at last

Now your crosses

are burning fast

Southern man

 

Lily Belle,

your hair is golden brown

I've seen your black man

comin' round

Swear by God

I'm gonna cut him down!

I heard screamin'

and bullwhips cracking

How long? How long?

Il ne faut oublier le mega chef d'oeuvre Judy Blue Eyes ! ;)

It's getting to the point

Where I'm no fun anymore

I am sorry

Sometimes it hurts so badly

I must cry out loud

I am lonely

I am yours, you are mine

You are what you are

And you make it hard.

 

Remember what we've said and done and felt

About each other

Oh babe, have mercy

Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now

I am not dreaming.

I am yours, you are mine

You are what you are

You make it hard.

 

Tearing yourself away from me now

You are free and I am crying

This does not mean I don't love you

I do, that's forever,

Yes and for always

I am yours, you are mine

You are what you are

You make it hard.

 

Something inside is telling me that

I've got your secret.

Are you still listening?

Fear is the lock, and laughter the key to your heart

And I love you.

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are

You make it hard

And you make it hard (x 3).

 

Friday evening, Sunday in the afternoon

What have you got to lose?

Tuesday morning, please be gone I'm tired of you.

What have you got to lose?

Can I tell it like it is? (Help me I'm suffering)

Listen to me baby.

It's my heart that's a suffering (Help me I'm dying)

It's a dying, that's what I have to lose

I've got an answer

I'm going to fly away

What have I got to lose?

Will you come see me Thursdays and Saturdays?

What have you got to lose?

 

Chestnut brown canary

Ruby throated sparrow

Sing the song don't be long

Thrill me to the marrow.

 

Voices of the angels, ring around the moonlight

Asking me, said she's so free

How can you catch the sparrow?

 

Lacy, lilting, lyric, losing love, lamenting

Change my life, make it right

Be my lady.

 

Que linda me la traiga Cuba,

La reina de la Mar Caribe.

Cielo sol no tiene sangre allí,

y que triste que no puedo vaya,

Oh va, oh va, va.

 

Translation:

(Oh, what beauty Cuba brings me,

The queen of the Caribbean Sea,

Sunny sky has no blood over there,

And how sad that I cannot go,

Oh go, oh go, go.)

Toutes les chansons de CSNY (ou CSN) sont magnifiques ,sans exception, mais ma préférée reste leur reprise de "Dear Mr Fantasy" de Traffic

Plus recemment, en 2004, David Crosby et Graham Nash ont fait un album à 2 seulement, dont est extraite cette chanson que je trouve sublime
