şahane bir mercyful fate parçası. emperor da başarılı bir cover'ını yapmıştır. sözlerini de yazayım.
this magic winter night i see a light
again i hear that tune, some sort of croon
oh no, no, no, oh, my brain.
i see them gypsy waggons left in the snow
oh, i must see that lady, i have to know
gypsy woman, let me inside
they say you know the secret, secret of time
so gaze into your crystal and tell me
all you see
gypsy woman, let me know
"oh, my son, you were never gone
you're the devil's child and so am i
gypsy now i know you're not my mother
you're a part of my soul,
it's dear for all to see
oh no, no, no, i am you
gypsy you're inside of me
ı was only seventeen
ı fell in love with a gypsy queen
she told me: hold on
her father was the leading man
said: youre not welcome on our land
and then as a foe, he told me to go
he took me to a little shack
and put a whip across my back
then told her: leave me
ı was out for quite a time
came back with her on my mind
sweet little girl
she means all the world
oh, ı want my qypsy queen
will she still be torn between
her father and lover
one day ı will go to him
strong enough to fight and win
the kind of a man
that hell understand
şahane bir mercyful fate, mükemmel bir uriah heep şarkısı olduğu gibi, güzeller güzeli bir saybia şarkısıdır aynı zamanda, hüzünlendirir insanı aşağıdaki gibidir:
ı was a gypsy
travelling light and feeling lonely all the times
'till ı met you
felt our desire set my world on fire
a cornerstone
ı'd been walking through cities on my own
ı past a store, a cornerstone
ı'd been walking through this life on my own
ı'm still a gypsy
ı travel through countries, a family by my side
ıt's a wonder
a mans desire setting souls on fire
ı'm flesh and bone though
ı'd never make it through this life on my own
ı'm flesh and bone
soul, flesh and bone
could never make it through this life on my own
and now that ı've told you the truth
my world lies open
and ı regret
ı regret all the things ı said to you
ı regret all the shit ı put you through
put you through
you set me free
- touching every inch of my skin
caress it with a love that never ends
patient through the days that ı hide
always in the room right by my side
black sabbath'ın da aynı isimde bir parçası vardır. ahan da sözleri:
watch the universe at the and of another day
fatalistic ships from a distant shore
ın the back of my mind ı could see
she was standing there
like the feeling you have when
you've been there before
she was a gypsy woman
she was as cold as the day
she said ı'd got it coming
and then she took me away,yeah
she took me through the shadows of her sunken dream
ı thought it's over for me
she wasn't all she seemed
she took my hand and then she started to speak
she told me she'd had the call
with eyes of fire that were burning my soul
she looked into her crystal ball
she read my fortune then she read my mind
she didn't like my thoughts at all
she showed me shadows, a specter of life
my soul just wanted to scream
she stared so deeply into my eyes
that's when ı fell into a dream
when ı awoke in bed she lay beside me
and as she read me with her eyes, she said:
"so you wanna be a gypsy,
come on now,
so you wanna be a gypsy,
come on now, now, now..."
gypsy woman you're the devil in drag
you are the queen of all hell
you took my body now you're wasting my soul
you've got me under your spell
and as the sun shines on another day
you're gonna take mind,as well, its over
so you wanna be a gypsy,come on now
so you wanna be a gypsy...
ı'm just a gypsy who gets paid, for all the songs that ı have played
and all the records that ı made
ı'm part of a caravan, ı have travelled on the land
making music for my fellow man
and every song ı played or wrote, with a sad or a happy note
some are made to make you laugh, some are made to make you cry
ı don't know the reason why
some are made to make you laugh, some are made to make you cry
ı don't know the reason why
but ı'll continue to travel
though my guitar's old and tyring fast
she just listens to me, her music means more to me
than any other woman ı have known
she just listens to me, her music means more to me
than any other lady ı have known
ı have known, ı have known
oi va voi un laughter through tears albümünün en neşeli şarkılarından birisidir. içiniz kıpır kıpır olur oturduğunuz yerde omuzlarınız oynamaya başlar istemsizce* işte sırf bu yüzden otobüste dinlenmemelidir. insanlar garip garip bakıyorlar. ben bunu gördüm.*
sözleriyse;
now there's many tales
in many cities to tell
and there's so many ways
that the story is told
there's a room with no bed in the heart of the ghetto
where the rags and words lie still
there's a room with a chair in the heart of the city
but only memories sit there
princelet street in the heart od the ghetto
still katz sells bags and strings
calling you back are the streets of the ghetto
climb the stairs where you're from
there's a room at the top of the heart of the gheto
but the gypsy's been and gone
oh see them watching
oh streets always watching
they're a watching now
oh see them watching
oh ghosts always watching
they're a watching now
saying them prayers by edge of the city
and now it's time to move on
new voices talk in the heart of the ghetto
make a little money move on
memory thieves in the heart of the ghetto
don't want ghosts movin' on
but the gypsy's on the loose in the heart of the city
and now ya see he move on
oh see them watching
oh streets always watching
they're a watching now
oh see them watching
oh ghosts always watching
they're a watching now
listen to the street move on
letters and numbers move on
gypsy always move on
see him there then he gone
see him there then he gone
he always go to move on
see him there then he gone
see him there then he gone
always go to move on
always go to move on
always go to move on
blackmore's night'ın (ritchie blackmore'un folk-rock şeysi) ultra romantik ocean gypsy adlı şarkısında okyanus versiyonu anılan nadide ve saygı duyulası gezme tozma insanı.
ocean gypsy
tried to take it all away,
learn her freedom... just inside a day,
and find her soul to find there fears are laid...
tried to make her love their own,
they took her love... they left her there,
they gave her nothing back that she would want to own...
gold and silver rings and stones,
dances slowly off the moon,
no one else could know, she stands alone...
sleeping dreams will reach for her,
she can not say the words they need,
she knows she's alone and she is free...
ocean gypsy of the moon,
the sun has made a thousand nights for you to hold...
ocean gypsy where are you?
the shadows followed by the stars have turned to gold...
turned to gold...
then she met a hollow soul,
filled him with her light and was consoled,
she was the moon and he the sun was gold...
eyes were blinded with his light...
the sun he gave reflected back the night
the moon was waning, almost out of sight...
softly ocean gypsy calls...
silence holds the stars a while,
they smile sadly for her where she falls...
just the time before the dawn,
the sea is hushed the ocean calls her,
day has taken her and now she's gone...
no one noticed when she died,
ocean gypsy shackled to the tide,
the ebbing waves, the turning spreading white...
something gone within her eyes,
her fingers, lifeless, stroked the sand,
her battered soul was lost,
she was abandoned...
silken threads like wings still shine,
wind swept pleasures still make patterns in her lovely hair... so dark and fine...
stands on high beneath the seas, cries no more, her tears have dried...
ocean weep for her, the ocean sighs...
