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
