Hamburger Fields / Merry Blues Songtext
von Manu Chao

This was day sin

A child is born (a child is born)
Let′s celebrate (let's celebrate)
Well it′s a date (well, it's a date)
Let's eat pop corn (let′s eat pop corn)
In the hand of fate (in the hand of fate)
He′ll be educated (he'll be educated)
In the hand of fate (in the hand of fate)
He′s gonna leave (he's gonna leave)

In the hamburger fields (in the hamburger field)
In the hamburger fields (in the hamburger field)

Over the soda rivers (over the soda river)
In front of the gasoil sea (in front of the gasoil sea)
Havin′ TV dreams (having a TV dream)
Under the air conditionned skies

Fly, fly, my baby fly
No matter if your daddy cries
Fly, fly, my baby fly
Over the Hamburger Fields, oh


(Pa-ra-ra-pan-pa-ran-pa-pa-pa-ran-pa)
(Pa-ra-ra-pan-pa-ran-pa-pa-pa-ran-pa)
Ayola (pa-ra-ra-pan-pa-ran-pa-pa-pa-ran-pa)
(Pa-ra-ra-pan-pa-ran-pa-pa-pa-ran-pa)

A child is born (a child is born)
Let's celebrate (let′s celebrate)
Well it's a date (well it's a date)
Let′s eat pop corn (let′s eat pop corn)
In the hand od fate (in the hand of fate)
He'll be educated (he′ll be educated)
In the hand of fate (in the hand of fate)
He's gonna leave (he′s gonna leave)

In the hamburger fields (in the hamburger field)
In the hamburger fields (in the hamburger field)
In the hamburger fields (in the hamburger field)
In the hamburger fields (in the hamburger field)

Woah-woah-woah (woah-woah-woah)
Woah-woah-waoh (woah-woah-woah)
Woah-woah-waoh (woah-woah-woah)
Woah-woah-waoh (woah-woah-waoh)
A child is born (hey, hey, hey, hey)


So many nights
With your shadow in my bed
So many nights
Baby, you whisper in my head
So many nights
Sing along the merry blues

So many nights
I told you once
I told you twice
The merry blues
I told you once
I told you twice
The merry blues

I cannot sleep
Haunted by your pretty body
I can not sleep
I want the world set on fire
So many nights
Can't keep from going down loose

I told you once
I told you twice
The merry blues
I told you once
I told you twice
The merry blues
I cannot sleep
I cannot sleep

Woah-woah-waoh (woah-woah-waoh)
Woah-woah-waoh (woah-woah-waoh)
Woah-woah-waoh (woah-woah-waoh)
Woah-woah-waoh (woah-woah-waoh)

I told you once
I told you twice
The merry blues
I told you once
I told you twice
The merry blues
I cannot sleep
I cannot sleep

Woah-woah-waoh
Woah-woah-waoh
Woah-woah-waoh
Woah-woah-waoh

So many nights
Can′t keep from going down loose
I told you once
I told you twice
The merry blues
The merry blues, yeah

Woah-woah-waoh (woah-woah-waoh)
Woah-woah-waoh (woah-woah-waoh)
Woah-woah-waoh (woah-woah-waoh)
Woah-woah-waoh (woah-woah-waoh)
I cannot sleep
