Carol of The Bells - Celtic Woman

Hark how the bells
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say
Throw cares away

Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer
To young and old 
Meek and the bold 

Ding dong ding 
That is their song 
With joyful ring 
All caroling 

One seems to hear 
Words of good cheer 
From everywhere 
Filling the air 

Oh how they pound 
Raising the sound 
O'er hill and dale 
Telling their tale 

Gaily they ring 
While people sing 
Songs of good cheer 
Christmas is here 
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas 
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas 

On on they send 
On without end 
Their joyful tone to every home 
Dong ding dong ding

MAN GAVE NAMES TO ALL THE ANIMALS - BOB DYLAN

Learn this beautiful and rhitmic song from Bob Dylan:
Aprende esta hermosa y rítmica canción de Bob Dylan:

      


 MAN GAVE NAMES TO ALL THE ANIMALS 
EL HOMBRE LES DIO NOMBRES A TODOS LOS ANIMALES

Man gave names to all the animals 
In the beginning, in the beginning. 
Man gave names to all the animals 
In the beginning, long time ago. 

He saw an animal that liked to growl, 
Big furry paws and he liked to howl, 
Great big furry back and furry hair. 
"Ah, think I'll call it a bear." 

Man gave names to all the animals... 

He saw an animal up on a hill 
Chewing up so much grass until she was filled. 
He saw milk comin' out but he didn't know how. 
"Ah, think I'll call it a cow." 

Man gave names to all the animals... 

He saw an animal that liked to snort, 
Horns on his head and they weren't too short. 
It looked like there wasn't nothin' that he couldn't pull. 
"Ah, think I'll call it a bull." 

Man gave names to all the animals... 

He saw an animal leavin' a muddy trail, 
Real dirty face and a curly tail. 
He wasn't too small and he wasn't too big. 
"Ah, think I'll call it a pig." 

Man gave names to all the animals... 

Next animal that he did meet 
Had wool on his back and hooves on his feet, 
Eating grass on a mountainside so steep. 
"Ah, think I'll call it a sheep." 

Man gave names to all the animals... 

He saw an animal as smooth as glass 
Slithering his way through the grass. 
Saw him disappear by a tree near a lake . . .

Aquí tienes la letra

YELLOW SUBMARINE

In the town where I was born,
Lived a man who sailed to sea,
And he told us of his life,
In the land of submarines,

So we sailed on to the sun,
Till we found the sea green,
And we lived beneath the waves,
In our yellow submarine,

We all live in a yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine,
We all live in a yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine.

And our friends are all aboard,
Many more of them live next door,
And the band begins to play.

(Trumpets play)

We all live in a yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine,
We all live in a yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine.

(Full speed ahead, Mr. Barkley, full speed ahead!
Full speed over here, sir!
All together! All together!
Aye, aye, sir, fire!
Captain! Captain!)

As we live a life of ease(life of ease)
Every one of us(every one of us) has all we need,(has all we need)
Sky of blue,(sky of blue) and sea green,(sea of green)
In our yellow(In our yellow) submarine.(submarine) ( Haha! )

We all live in a yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine,
We all live in a yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine.

(fading)

We all live in a yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine,
We all live in a yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine.

BLOWING IN THE WIND - THE TIMES ARE CHANGING

This two classical songs from Bob Dylan (wich real name is Robert Allen Zimmerman) became anthems for the US civil rights[3] and anti-war[4] movements.

BLOWING IN THE WIND

A version with subtitles in English


Original version with subtitles in spanish




How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man look up

Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist

Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.


THE TIMES ARE CHANGING




Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics

Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen

Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers

Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn

The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.
