Boney M. Album

We are down, we are crazy fools everyday at school.
Teachers here, teachers there,
Books and books, they are everywhere.

Come on boys, we need to dance, we have got a good chance.
Lay your problems on the floor, clap your hands and sing once more:

Everybody, let's go to the "King",
We can dance there, dance and eat an ice-cream.
Everybody dancing all night long,
Try to do it, sing a happy song.

Music, dancing in the night, we can get so high,
For no reason no long stop, now's the time to go to the top.

It's a sweeter happy song, we'll sing all night long.
Lay your problems on the floor, clap your hands and sing once more:
Everybody, let's go to the "King",...

It's time to dance, it's time to sing, sing a happy song, a happy song.
Let's go, let's go boys, come with me and sing, sing a happy song.

Come on boys, we need to dance, we all have got a good, good chance.
Lay your problems on the floor, clap your hands and sing once more.
Music sound in the night, we all can get so high,
For no reason no long stop, now's the time to go to the top.

We are down, we are crazy fools everyday at school. ...
Come on boys, we need to dance, we have got a good chance. ...
Everybody, let's go to the "King". ...
Let's go, let's go boys, come with me and sing, sing a happy song.
Everybody, let's go to the "King",... - Everybody -

I was born and raised in the ghetto
Talk with me and you'll know
I wasn't satisfied, with living on the side
I started looking around, for a possibility
Listen to my story, of what became of me

I met a businessman
Who said he had some friends back east
So why don't you come along
Well we can help you at least
We'll make you into a big star
By playing your guitar
But the joke was on me
They left me flat to see

Going back west
Yes I know I'll make out alright
Going back west
Where my music's playing all night
Going back west (going back west)
I think I'll do alright

Going back west
Yes I know I'll make out alright
Going back west
Where my music's playing all night
Going back west (going back west)
I think I'll do alright

Struggling for recognition, identity and respect
I got a lot of promises
They told me not to fret
So we will stand by you
If the going gets rough
But when I started thinking
They didn't even bluff

'bout a year has come and gone
And left me standing here
Thinking how it could have been
For still I ain't nowhere
They surely took me for a ride
Trampled on my pride
But I hold my head up high
Got no more tears to cry

Going back west
Yes I know I'll make out alright
Going back west
Where my music's playing all night
Going back west (going back west)
I think I'll do alright

Going back west
Yes I know I'll make out alright
Going back west
Where my music's playing all night
Going back west (going back west)
I think I'll do alright

Going back west
Yes I know I'll make out alright
Going back west
Where my music's playing all night

If you want to know what's written in the stars
And you're in Rio, go-to Barbarella's bar
With a magic circle as that company
Today she writes tomorrow's diary

Barbarella, magical Barbarella
Mystical fortuneteller
Painting a sky of blue
Do you know Barbarella, magical Barbarella
Mystical fortuneteller
Selling your dreams to you

Oh oh oh, oh...
Oh oh oh, oh...

You take a look into her gypsy eyes
You'll get the feeling
That she never ever lies
She will seduce you with that misty look
She's gonna read you like an open book

Barbarella, magical Barbarella
Mystical fortuneteller
Painting a sky of blue
Do you know Barbarella, magical Barbarella
Mystical fortuneteller
Selling your dreams to you

Oh oh oh, oh...
Oh oh oh, oh...

Heya, heya, Make the furure very clear
Don't you be too shy!
Heya, heya, While you whisper in my ear
Tell another lie

Barbarella, magical Barbarella
Mystical fortuneteller
Selling your dreams to you

Oh oh oh, oh...
Oh oh oh, oh...

Oh oh oh, oh...
Barbarella, magical Barbarella
Mystical fortuneteller

What a beautiful morning
Just to wake up beside you
Is something I've missed for so long
I'm so glad that you came back home

Baby let me tell you
How my days slipped away
And how I was afraid of the night
But now I'm alright

I feel good
Feeling like a lover should
What else can I say
Won't forget the day
You came back to stay
I feel so good (I feel good, I feel good, I feel good)
Finally we understood
You and me were meant
True lovers from the start
We can never part

Our love is grown stronger
More than any temptation
In this world could possibly be
There's no doubt 'cause it's plain to see

I feel good
Feeling like a lover should
What else can I say
Won't forget the day
You came back to stay
I feel so good (I feel good, I feel good, I feel good)
Finally we understood
You and me were meant
True lovers from the start
We can never part

I feel good
Feeling like a lover should
What else can I say
Won't forget the day
You came back to stay
I feel so good (I feel good, I feel good, I feel good)
Finally we understood
You and me...

In the hills above Freno
By a shiny mountain stream
A young man laid where he fell
In the ruins of his dreams
He looked into the sky
Happy to see that the dawn was slowly breaking
And the women knelt beside him
Consuela Biaz

Consuela Biaz she knelt there and gently
She bathed his wounds
And he kissed her trembling fingers
Consuela Biaz

Consuela Biaz she knelt there and gently
She bathed his wounds
And he kissed her trembling fingers
Consuela Biaz

In the town San Domingo
As we laughed and danced all night
To the thrub of flamingo guitars
Seemed a long long way from tomorrow's fight
He came from over the sea
Full of the passion of when
You were born to be free
From the Valley of Ronda
Consuela Biaz

Consuela Biaz she knelt there and gently
She bathed his wounds
And he kissed her trembling fingers
Consuela Biaz

Consuela Biaz from the Valley of Ronda
To the hills above Freno
Just to die against her shoulder
Consuela Biaz

They got the luxury money can buy
They're living like kings and queens
The whole world's crying whenever they cry
They smile when they smile at scenes
What's left of all that glamour and glory
You find behind the doors in Hollywood

Living like a moviestar
Tell me how they really are
Prisoners of roles
Until their final curtains fall
Living like a moviestar
I don't think I go too far
If I say they're lonely after all

Too much of everything
Too much to choose
They finally lose control
Crime and insanity, scandals and booze
They're dying 'fore getting old
What's left of all that glamour and glory
You find behind the doors in Hollywood

Living like a moviestar
Tell me how they really are
Prisoners of roles
Until their final curtains fall
Living like a moviestar
I don't think I go too far
If I say they're lonely after all

Living like a moviestar
Tell me how they really are
Prisoners of roles
Until their final curtains fall...

In a Gadda-Da-Vida, Baby
You know that I'm loving you
In a Gadda-Da-Vida, Honey
You know I'll always be true

Don't you know that I'm loving you
In a Gadda-Da-Vida, Baby
Don't you know that I'll always be true

Oh won't you come with me
And take my hand
Oh won't you come with me
And walk this land
Please take my hand

Time, changer of seasons, time will see another flower growing.
Climb over the mountains, there you'll find warm winds blowing.

Somewhere in the world there is peace of mind.
Somewhere in the world that's what I must find.
Somewhere in the world there's a place for me in this world.

I cannot believe it, everywhere I see lonely faces.
Why have we no answers, just some more empty places?

Somewhere in the world there is peace of mind.
Somewhere in the world that's what I must find.
Somewhere in the world there's a place for me in this world.

Time, changer of seasons, time will see another flower growing.
Climb over the mountains, there you'll find warm winds blowing.

Somewhere in the world there is peace of mind.
Somewhere in the world that's what I must find.
Somewhere in the world there's a place for me in this world.

Somewhere in the world there is peace of mind.
Somewhere in the world that's what I must find.

African Moon
Roll with the mighty waves
We'll be there soon
Feel the winds as we sail on home to African Moon

African Moon
My heart beats like the drum
Now it is noon
Loved ones we left behind I'll see again
African Moon

African Moon
I will see you once more
Yes again I'll adore the real sound of the drum
Oh yes I'm sailing feel your hot sun
African Moon

African Moon
Looking out to the sea
A reunion there'll be in the evening sun
Oh there's a new life that's awaiting me
African Moon

African Moon
This land is my rightful home
We'll never roam
You'll weep fou your sons no more and daughters
African Moon

Hold up your head
One day you'll be understood
Stand and be proud
Your sorrows are gone for good
Hold up your head
And you'll be satisfied!

We are Children of Paradise
When the Lord created us
All his work was through
Then the Children of Paradise
Did the only thing
They really shouldn't do

Children of Paradise
We started out there
Full of innocence in our eyes
And without a care

We're Children of Paradise
We knew of no crime
Until one of the meanest lines
Has changed our time

It was long ago
In the early morning glow
When it all began
With Adam and Eve
They were young and free
And for all eternity
They were meant to feel
No trouble, no grief

Children of Paradise
We started out there
Full of innocence in our eyes
And without a care

We're Children of Paradise
In search of the light
That was put out in Paradise
And started the night

It was long ago
In the early morning glow
When it all began
With Adam and Eve
They were young and free
And for all eternity
They were meant to feel
No trouble, no grief

We are Children of Paradise
When the Lord created us
All his work was through
Then the Children of Paradise
Did the only thing
They really shouldn't do

Aaahhh...

We're Children of Paradise
Who didn't obey
When we followed the wrong advice
We wandered astray

We're Children of Paradise
In search of the light
That was put out in Paradise
And started the night

It was long ago
In the early morning glow
When it all began
With Adam and Eve
They were young and free
And for all eternity...

Boonoonoonoos give me Boonoonoonoos
Boonoonoonoos little bit Boonoonoonoos

Let me tell you of a feeling
That is spreading to the land
It will give you good vibrations
It will help you understand

Boonoonoonoos that's Boonoonoonoos

It will help you love your neighbour
It will turn you to the light
It will make you come out jammin'
From the morning till the night

Boonoonoonoos that's Boonoonoonoos

Boonoonoonoos give me Boonoonoonoos
Boonoonoonoos little bit Boonoonoonoos

Everywhere the sun is shining
There's a sweetness in the air
Can you feel a new day rising
On the people ev'rywhere

Boonoonoonoos that's Boonoonoonoos

We can split a tiny atom
We can walk upon the moon
It's been too long coming on us
Gonna hear about it soon

Boonoonoonoos that's Boonoonoonoos

Boonoonoonoos give me Boonoonoonoos
Boonoonoonoos little bit Boonoonoonoos
Boonoonoonoos give me Boonoonoonoos
Boonoonoonoos little bit Boonoonoonoos
