Musica y Futbol -two views-


musica y futbol -two views of the beautiful game-

I'm going to let the lyrics speak for themselves:


LA POLLA RECORDS
(Spain)
-Gol en el Campo-


Gol en el campo, paz en la tierra // goal on the field, peace in the land
que bonito es el futbol, que pasiones despierta // how beautiful is football, what passion it awakes
defiende tu colores, sudar la camiseta // defend your colors, sweat for the shirt
que bonito es el futbol para los que gobiernan //how beautiful is football for those who govern
estan pegando el palo sin partido de vuelta // they are hitting the post without a return leg

Gol en el campo, paz en la tierra
Justicia corrompida arbitra la contienda // corrupted justice arbitrates contention
patron enloquecido despide libremente // crazed patron takes leave freely
y roban la pelota por la extrema derecha // and robs the ball for the extreme right
atentos al remate que directa a puerta // look out for the rebound that goes straight at goal

Gol en el campo, paz en la tierra
Que bonito es el futbol, que pasiones despierta
defiende tus colores, sudar la camiseta
que bonito es el futbol para los que gobiernan
estan pegando el palo sin partido de vuelta

Gol en el campo, paz en la tierra
tras la pelota hay mucha mierda // behind the ball, there's lots of shit (happening)

(I dearly dearly dearly love La Polla Records)



MALDITA VECINDAD Y LOS HIJOS DEL QUINTO PATIO
(Mexico)
-Fut Callejero (Pura Diversion)-


El futbol llanero es lo mio // (plainsman. cowboy, gaucho) football is what I prefer
es aburrido nomas verlo alla en la tele, no! // it's boring to only watch it on the telly, no!
me lanzo a la cancha del palillo // I play on the (hard court, anything not a proper pitch)
y con los compas de la cuadra jugare mi propio mundial // and with my friends from the neigborhood, I'll play my own World Cup

Futbol llanero
fut callejero // street soccer
juego del barrio // game of the barrio
pura diversion // pure diversion
futbol escencia // football essence
futbol consciencia // football conscience
aqui no hay violencia // here there's no violence

Juego en grandes estadios // I play in great stadiums
alla en el barrio cascareo a diario // there in the barrio I scrimmage every day
jugando voy // I play
dribland entre la gente // dribbling between everyone
parando goles gambeteando la pelota de la vida // stopping goals, dribbling the ball of life
futbol llanero
futbol callejero
juego del barrio
pura diversion
futbol esencia
futbol conciencia
aqui no hay violencia
pura diversion

Ya llego el Patadura, el Tiroloco y el Rey // Patadura (hard foot), Tiroloco (crazy kick), and Rey (the king) are already here
talonear el arbitraje // heed the ref
saca y avisale a aquel // take him aside and advise him
un balon en el llano los cuates // a flat ball, the guys
pura pasion por jugar // pure passion for playing
finta, chanfle, cabesazo, tacon, dominadas y mas // feint, curl, header, backheel, dominate and more
y mas y mas y mas // and more and more and more

Estamos senoras y senores en el estadio Palillo // here we are, ladies and gentlemen, in the stadium Palillo
transmitiendo por Radio Pirata // transmitting on pirate radio
a todas las cuadras aledanas y circunvecinas // to all the surrounding blocks

por el movimiento alternativo // by the alternative movement
de panboleros amateurs y asociados // of amateur (panboleros?? something to do with futbol) and the like
de los barrios populares de todo el pais // of the popular barrios from the whole country

entre los grandes equipos el Real Albanil y el Atletico Maldito // between the great teams Real Bricklayer and Atletico Damned

Seven Samurai and Jane Eyre

I am working on a few projects right now--the search for employment also involves mountains of free time. Having finished Aladdin's Lamp: How Greek Science Came to Europe Through the Islamic World --I took notes and asked and answered questions of what I learned and already knew--I started on The Inheritance of Rome: Illuminating the Dark Ages, 400-1000 , again using the same note-taking process. It's the only way I can process information.  I have also started reading Age of Aztec , having finished the others in the Pan the on .  I began a project involving reading Jane Eyre  and watching the films, I read twitter updates from the futbol world, my dad and I have taken to watching one or two episodes of Star Trek Enterprise  every night for a month now, I play soccer on three teams, volunteer at the local museum, take care of the doggies...Needless to say, Reader, I am making my way quite slowly through my projects.  Tonight I finished watching Seven Samurai   wit

Musica y Futbol -Rayo Vallecano & Ska-P-

Image
the importance and thoughts of futbol/soccer/football in song -of RAYO VALLECANO & SKA-P- I had some idea of Rayo Vallecano due to two songs by Ska-P, a Spanish ska-punk band that hails from a barrio of Madrid, called Vallecas. Rayo Vallecano is the team that belongs to that area, one that has a history of fluctuating between the first and second divisions of the Liga. Ska-P are known for their political messages; they do not back down from stating their thoughts on the death penalty , abuse of children by priests , abuse of power by politicians and government , and are f ervently against the long-standing Spanish tradition of bullfighting ; they sing for a united world, without borders , with tolerance. While they have been around since 1994, what they sing about is still very relevant. "COMO UN RAYO" Of the two songs in this post, this is the first I heard, and of the two, it is a sweet lyric of being proud of your team. Son las doce ya, esto va a comenzar // It's a

Mr. Stevie Ray Vaughan

Image
For some reason I got into a Stevie Ray Vaughan kick tonight, and it turns out to be a week from the 22nd anniversary of his death. I always want to cry if I think about him too much, and tonight I did. His guitar & music make me feel such joy, such elation in my body and heart, and I become overwhelmed at the knowledge that he is no longer around, though I have known this for most of my life. My dad tells me every time I mention SRV that he had the privilege to see the great man in concert a few weeks before his death, and though Dad has told me many times, I never stop him, knowing that he mourns in a way, too. (I especially get emotional when I hear Stevie Ray play " Little Wing ", because it also makes me think of Jimi Hendrix .) Anyway.
