miriam makeba - can t cross over

The river come down
The river come down
River come down
I can?t cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can?t cross over

I wanted to go down
To the other sideof town
There was water all around
And I couldn?t cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can?t cross over

Well a gal she come by
And I give she the eye
So she started to sigh
And I couldn?t cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can?t cross over

The river come down
The river come down
River come down
And I couldn?t cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can?t cross over

Now bird he can fly
Foggy jump high
Fishes never die
And I couldn?t cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can?t cross over

A well I stole me a kiss
I couldn?t resist
Just think what I?d a miss
If I could have crossed over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can?t cross over

The river come down
The river come down
River come down
And I couldn?t cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can?t cross over

I had a curiosity
Now I got a family
Bouncing baby on my knee
?Cause I couldn?t cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can?t cross over

So when you see your neighbor daughter
Better run for the water
You?ll do things you hadn?t ought to
If you can?t cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can?t cross over

The river come down
The river come down
River come down
And I couldn?t cross over
Why-o, why-o, why-o
I can?t cross over

miriam makeba - chove chuva

Chove chuva
Chove sem parar
Chove chuva
Chove sem parar

Pois eu vou fazer uma prece
Prá Deus, nosso Senhor
Prá chuva parar
De molhar o meu divino amor

Que é muito lindo
É mais que o infinito
É puro e belo
Inocente como a flor

(2x):
Por favor, chuva ruim
Não molhe mais
O meu amor assim

Chove chuva
Chove sem parar
Chove chuva
Chove sem parar

miriam makeba - down on the corner

Early in the evenin' just about supper time
Over by the courthouse, starting to unwind
Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up
Willy picks a tune out, he blows it on the harp

Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the poor boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile
Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for a while
Poor boy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo

You don't need a penny just to hang around
But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down
Over on the corner there's a happy noise
People come from all around to watch the magic boys

miriam makeba - mas que nada

O ariá raió
Obá obá obá

Mas que nada
Sai da minha frente
Eu quero passar
Pois o samba está animado
O que eu quero é sambar
Esse samba
Que é misto de maracatu
Ã? samba de preto velho
Samba de preto tú

Mas que nada
Um samba como este tão legal
Você não vai querer
Que eu chegue no final

O ariá raió
Obá obá obá

miriam makeba - one more dance

Darling, go home, your husband is ill
Is he ill? Let them give him a pill
Oh, come my dear Franz, just one more dance,
Then I'll go home to my poor old man,
Then I'll go home to my poor old man

Darling, go home, your husband is worse
Is he worse? Well I am no nurse
Oh, come my dear Franz, just one more dance,
Then I'll go home to my poor old man,
Then I'll go home to my poor old man

Darling, go home, your husband is dead
Is he dead? There's no more to be said
Oh, come my dear Franz, just one more dance,
Then I'll go home to my poor old man,
Then I'll go home to my poor old man

Darling, go home, the will's to be read
What's that you said? I said the will's to be read
Oh, no, no, my dear Franz, this is no time to dance,
I must go weep for my poor old man
I must go weep for my poor old man

miriam makeba - suliram

Suliram, suliram, ram, ram
Suliram yang manis
Adu hai indung suhoorang
Bidjakla sana dipandang manis

Tingi la, tingi, si matahari
Suliram, Anakla koorbau mati toortambat
Suliram, sudala lama saiya menchari
Baruse klarung sa ya mendabat

La suliram, suliram, ram, ram
Suliram yang manis
Adu hai indung suhoorang
Bidjakla sana dipandang manis

miriam makeba - sunrise sunset

Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
I don't remember getting older,day by day
Sunrise, sunset, swiftly fly the years
One season following the other
Laden with happiness and tears

When did she get to be a beauty
When did he grow to be so tall
Wasn't it yesterday when they were small?
Sunrise, sunset, swiftly fly the years
One season following the other
Laden with happiness and tears

Igqira lendlela nguqo ngqothwane
Sebeqabele gqi thapha bathi nguqo ngqothwane
Sebeqabele gqi thapha bathi nguqo ngqothwane

miriam makeba - the naughty little flea

Where did the naughty little flea go
Nobody know, nobody know
Where did the naughty little flea go
Nobody know, nobody know

A naughty flea he came to town
Started searching up and down
Looking for a place to nest
Where he can get some food and rest

He saw a lady round and fat
He smiled a smile and tipped his hat
He said oh yes Im goin have a ball
Man look at all that cholesterol

The naughty flea went to the beach
He saw such tasties in his reach
He said hurrah and thank you Lord
Thats what I call a small guest bug

The naughty flea went to the zoo
Saw a skunk and bit him too
He bit him in the usual place
And said Holy Macro what a taste

Sum up friends well can you see
The big advantage of being a flea
Just remember what ever you do
That what you bite is what you chew
