Keep the Replacement Refs, They're Great
Keep the replacement refs; they're great,
These guys reveal the intelligence of NFL
Over time they illustrate,
The disarray only time could tell.
Medical science in the NFL
Use terms like hum dinger,
Or this guy's bit by the injury bug,
And that guy's suffered a stinger.
Runners in the game they say run north and south,
Yet on screen they move east and west,
That's if you think the tv's a map,
Otherwise direction is anybody's guess.
And I love it when they use the phrase 'mano on mano,
As if mano is Spanish for man,
They don't know the meaning of mano;
They don't know mano is Spanish for hand.
How about the half time show,
Every year at the Super Bowl,
As if we families all live in Las Vegas,
We love old rock and a strip show.

Mano O Mano
Lyrics & Music: John Oates
See a lot of people walking around and around
terra firma turned them upside down
too scared to reach out maybe afraid of what they'll find
but a hand stuck in a pocket come up empty every time
Now you better believe the writing on the wall
all for one one for all
woman to woman and man to man
face to face heart to heart hand to hand
Mano a Mano
Hand to Hand
Mano a Mann
See a lot of people fighting for the left or the right
fighting people see black or white
you'd like to go your way sure I'd like to go mine
but we're all in this together running out of time
Woman to woman and man to man
heart to heart and hand to hand
set on example for all the little boys and girls
for the hand that rocks the cradle can rule the world
Mano a Mano
Hand to Hand
Mano a Mano

Senorita
Ma s che sono io
E lanima la vedi
Oggi mi sento un dio
Domani non sto in piedi
Dammi una mano seorita
E mettila qua
E vedrai che qualcosa
Succeder
Ma s che sono io
tre uomini diversi
Uno non sono io
E gli altri due son persi
A rincorrere che cosa
Ancora non lo so
Ma se mi dai una mano forse
Lo scoprir
Dammi una mano seorita
Tu puoi cambiare la mia vita
Oppure no
Ma se non stai pi nella pelle
E hai bisogno di una scusa
...vuoi salire
Io ne ho tante
Te ne posso dare una!
Ma s che sono io
Un cuore solitario
E ringraziando dio
non mi chiamo mario
Dammi una mano seorita
E mettila qua
E vedrai che forse
cambier
Dammi una mano seorita
Tu puoi cambiare la mia vita
Oppure no
Ma se non stai pi nella pelle
E hai bisogno di una scusa
...vuoi salire
Io ne ho tante
Te ne posso dare una!

Peace In The Mano River Union
River Mano Mano River
Love meanders along a river course
Gossip here will only seal the peace
A man of rivers will only rev a boat
To the other side to the other banks
To withdraw from bankruptcy
I am the Mano River
The collateral for true peace
The pact you signed will last
If you took me in as witness
I was born in peace that was not faked
Witnessing yours renders it fakeless
Write a song that begins with my name
Sing a song that ends with my name
Let the drummer boy talk with drums
With Mano River under the cover
Louder than street drumming and dancing
That advertises in fake tunes
The aged must learn from their young
The art of wriggling like snakes
This is the child that was born to a couple
Named Deception and Ignorance
And learn also from my doctors
How to inject morality therein
I too can dream and I got a dream
That one day my three girls will come together
And own a genuine business
From a Mother of Businesses
Headquartered in my heart
That a single coin might be tossed
And the tossing will give birth to a state
Whose greatness will be larger than the ‘You Ess’
Because it will bring many things on board
To families larger than large
That honour the grey heads
After lodging proverbs in my sentence
And that is my dream for PEACE

040310z Where People Take Their Money
streak of shopping carts
rolling with flashing light
now even a kid could do
like before 'mano o mano'
yes i agree it's wall to wall
it's better run than city hall
strawberries are still fresh
veggies under auto rain spray
bananas multiple fingers
pointing upwards in unison
checkout line is very long

Cambia La Piel
Te tomo la mano y no siento tu mano
Nos damos un beso y no siento tus labios
En tus ojos no luce el azul del cielo
Te miro y lo que veo me parece extrano
Cuando se abre la puerta no me late el corazon
Si en la noche te encuentro ya no pierdo la razon
Cuando estoy a tu lado no se me acelera el pulso
Tus caricias y abrazos ya no me quedan

LA BOCCA DE-LA-VERITA' (The mouth Of truth)
In d'una chiesa sopra a 'na piazzetta
Un po' ppiù ssù de Piazza Montanara
Pe la strada che pporta a la Salara,
C'è in nell'entrà una cosa benedetta.
Pe ttutta Roma quant'è larga e stretta
Nun poterai trovà cosa ppiù rara.
È una faccia de pietra che tt'impara
Chi ha detta la bucìa, chi nu l'ha detta.
S'io mo a sta faccia, c'ha la bocca uperta,
Je ce metto una mano, e nu la striggne
La verità da me ttiella pe certa.
Ma ssi fficca la mano uno in bucìa,
Èssi sicuro che a tirà né a spiggne
Quella mano che lì nun viè ppiù via.
English
In a church, in a small square
Shortly after Montanara Square [2] ,
Along the road leading to the salt-works,
As soon as you enter there's something holy.
In all Rome far and wide
You could not find something as rare as that.
It's a face of stone, which tells
Who is a lier and who is not.
If in the mouth of this statue, which is open,
I insert my hand and it does not clasp it,
Consider my truth as most reliable.
But if a lier inserts his hand
Be sure that, push or pull,
That hand won't come out.

Silvia
Silvia riposa dentro la stanza
con una mano sotto il cuscino
mentre di fuori spunta il mattino
che tra non molto la sveglier
Silvia si veste davanti allo specchio
e sulle labbra un po' di rossetto
andiamoci piano per con il trucco
se no la mamma brontoler
'Silvia fai presto che sono le otto
se non ti muovi!!! .... fai tardi lo stesso
e poi la smetti con tutto quel trucco
che non sta bene.. te l'ho gi detto'
Silvia non sente oppure fa finta
guarda lo specchio poco convinta
mentre una mano si ferma sul seno
ancora piccolo ma... crescer
'Silvia fai presto che sono le otto

mentre una mano si ferma sul seno
ancora piccolo ma... crescer
Silvia ora corre incontro allo specchio
dimenticando che sono le otto
e trova mille fantasie...
...che non la lasciano pi andar via...
...che non la lasciano pi...

Bindu. [A poem in Hindi]
Ik roop naino se man mein uttra
Mano dooor kshitij par ik madham sa bindu ubhara
Dhire dhire meri aur badha
Bindu bana ik chand
Roop ne karvat li
Hua chand se pyar
Tab hua milan
Ik madhur milan
Ik sukhad milan
Mano do aatmain samaa gai hoon jismain
Tab samay ki dhara baha ley gai
Milan ke is sukh ko
Usi kshitij ki aur
Chand phir ik bindu bana
Sukhad milan ki dard bhari yaad
jaise dooor kshitij par ik madham sa bindu
Chand ik bindu
Bindu ik roop
Bindu ik yaad
Bindu ik dard
Bindu ik aas
Jeevan ki aas
Asha hi jeevan
Bindu kitna chota sa par kitna mahaan.

La Bella Mano
O BELLA Mano, che ti lavi e piaci
In quel medesmo tuo puro elemento
Donde la Dea dell' amoroso avvento
Nacque, (e dall' onda s'infuocar le faci
Di mille inispegnibili fornaci):—
Come a Venere a te l'oro e l'argento
Offron gli Amori; e ognun riguarda attento
La bocca che sorride e te che taci.
In dolce modo dove onor t' invii
Vattene adorna, e porta insiem fra tante
Di Venere e di vergine sembiante;
Umilemente in luoghi onesti e pii
Bianca e soave ognora; infin che sii,
O Mano, mansueta in man d'amante.
O LOVELY hand, that thy sweet self dost lave
In that thy pure and proper element,
Whence erst the Lady of Love's high advènt
Was born, and endless fires sprang from the wave:—
Even as her Loves to her their offerings gave,
For thee the jewelled gifts they bear; while each
Looks to those lips, of music-measured speech
The fount, and of more bliss than man may crave.
In royal wise ring-girt and bracelet-spann'd,
A flower of Venus' own virginity,
Go shine among thy sisterly sweet band;
In maiden-minded converse delicately
Evermore white and soft; until thou be,
O hand! heart-handsel'd in a lover's hand.

ER COMPANATICO DER PARADISO (Heaven's Food)
Dio doppo avé creato in pochi giorni
Quello che c'è de bello e c'é de brutto,
In paradiso o in de li su' contorni
Creò un rampino e ciattaccò un presciutto.
E disse: "Quella femmina che in tutto
Er tempo che campò nun messe corni,
N'abbi una fetta, acciò non magni asciutto
Er pandecèlo de li nostri forni".
Morze Eva, morze Lia, morze Ribbecca,
Fino inzomma a ttu' moje a man'a mano,
Morzeno tutte, e ppijele a l'inzecca.
E ttutte quante cor cortello in mano
Quando furno a ttajà feceno cecca:
Sò sseimil'anni, e quer presciutto è sano.
English
After having created in a few days
What is good and what is not, God
Created in heaven, or in its whereabouts,
A hook, and hung a piece of ham to it.
He said: "The woman who during her whole life
Has not been unfaithful to her husband
Will receive a slice, to be eaten with
The heavenly bread of our bakehouse".
Eve died, Leah died, Rebecca died [2] ,
Little by little, up to your wife,
All of them passed away, every single one.
And each of them, knife in hand,
when it was their turn to slice it, failed:
After six thousand years that piece of ham is untouched.

Tu y yo locura de amor
Cuando el uno aprende a ser dos
En la pasion
Y a viajar y a so? ar y so? ar
De corazon
Y ahora se bien donde voy donde ire por ti, amor
Somos la semilla
De una nueva vida
Y de cada pena
Haremos una risa... (se repite)
Al pensar con el corazon
Tu y yo llevamos razon
Porque el amor
Solo da la verdad, de verdad
Sin condicion
Por eso se bien donde voy
Donde ire por ti, amor

Y de cada pena
Haramos una rise... (se repite)
Tu boca en mi boca
Mi piel en tu piel
Bebiendo tu agua con mi sed

Tu mano en mi mano
Tu piel en mi piel
Juntando mi aroma con tu miel

Timido
Sacala, que ya viene, esa nena, nena linda...
Sacala, que ya viene, esa nena, nena linda...
Anoche te vi bailando solo
Sin una mujer que te acompane,
Pienso que eres un cobarde
Por no pedir la mano para que baile,
Sudaste, te intimidatse,
Cuando la viste ni te arrimaste,
Mientras que tu piensas y dudas,
Maria baila con un cualquiera....
Sacala hermano ponte a bailar mira que te llama maria....
Pidele, pidele la mano hermano,
No tengas miedo, no seas cobarde,
Si no la sacas a bailar,
Otro vendra y juntos se van,
Juntos se van, juntos se van,
Otro vendra y juntos se iran,
Sacacla hermano ponte a bailar,
Mira que te llama maria...

Fatima's Hand
Fatima is 21
And around here - when your 21
u gotta start thinking about getting a man
getting a son - getting it done
just like her mom when she was 21
but even though Fatima's not ready for it
she not gonna say some
she feels she gotta do this for the parents
cuz they've been on her for the last 5 years
a lotta men from motherland
came up here hoping she say yeah
but she ain't down
wants somebody that can make her feel alive
chill every time she wanna cry
the one in a million type of guy
but her mom keeps telling her
"compromise, this ain't no fairy tale my child
do not waste your time
u'll regret u didn't say yes to this guy"
everyday is the same
like a battlefield
she gets the blame
bringing shame on the family name
just cuz the streets be babbling
like a Bedouin in a dessert storm
she lays low from all their songs
try to make'em understand
but it's like talking to the wall
her desire's burning to change her ill state
it's strange - for the first time
in a long time - she sees the light in the end
[Chorus:]
she brings the pain within your brain
y'all don't really wanna understand her thang
boo be really strong enough to maintain
thru your bullshit
it ain't nothing but pain
but she knows in the name of Fatimas hand
she don't go wrong
in the name of Fatimas hand
she will move on
hey hoping everything will be alright!!!
[Majid:]
I see tears in everybody's eyes
But I don't understand why
Mama standing in the kitchen
preparing dinner while she cries
as the pain spreads inside
cuz something that's going on
denial of my first question
second time got no respond
to lose some one that had always been there
She always had my back
And she always did care
So with these lines right here
I wanna explain how much I love u
No matter what u do I will forever stay true
Until this day
Can't nobody tear us apart
10 years is past
But u are still living in my heart
truly no poetry can explain how much I miss ya
No matter where u are U will always be my sister
[Chorus...]
Con la mano de Fatima
sobre su alma encantadora
su camino es protegido
no importa cual escoga
y ella fue escogida
para verla y admirarla
en sus ojos tiene un algo
impecable es su retrato
y cada vez que pasa
lo duro se ablandese
la noche se agrandese
lo malo desvanece
no la olvidaran, la esperaran
al otro lado de esta vida
su amor alumbrara, su voz les cantara
en las memorias hay momentos de pasion
afecto y comprension, retratos y recuerdos
dando vuelta en las fantasias
su aura es alegria
lleva la mano de Fatima
[Chorus:]

Esperienza Religiosa
Qualcose di te sembra restare qui
In questa notte che scende fredda e sola
Unaria di estasi che mi consola
Mi avvolge come un abbraccio e minnamora
Ogni volta que ti vedo
Io riscopro linfinito
Trema il cielo
La notte vola via
E il silenzio diventa melodia
Ecome unesperienza religiosa
Sentire la tua mano che mi sfiora
Toccare la tua pelle
Tra mille e mille stelle
unesperienza religiosa
Ecome unesperienza religiosa
Sentirti in ogni istante, in ogni cosa
In questa notte buia
Gi sale un alleluia
unesperienza religiosa
Torna presto da me, non mi lasciare qui
Che in questa notte profonda sto soffrendo
Ho bisogno di vivere la tua allegria
Per non sentire il dolore che porto dentro
Nelle cose che mi hai dato
Io mi sono ritrovato
Il tempo pasa
Veloce nel mio cuore
Mi sento nuovo
In questo grande amore
Ecome unesperienza religiosa
Sentire la tua mano che mi sfiora
Toccare la tua pelle
Tra mille e mille stelle
unesperienza religiosa
Ecome unesperienza religiosa
Sentirti in ogni istante, in ogni cosa
In questa notte buia
Gi sale un alleluia

Colpa D'Alfredo
Ho perso un'altra occasione buona stasera
andata a casa con il negro, la troia!
mi son distratto un attimo...
colpa d'Alfredo
che con i suoi discorsi "seri" e inopportuni
mi fa sciupare tutte le occasioni
io prima o poi lo uccido!...lo uccido!
E lei invece non ha perso tempo
ha preso subito la palla al balzo
l'ho vista uscire, mano nella mano, con
quell'africano
che non parla neanche bene l'italiano,
ma si vede che si fa capire bene quando vuole...
tutte le sere ne accompagna a casa una diversa
chiss che cosa le racconta,
per me la macchina che c'ha che conta!
E quella stronza non si neanche
preocupata
di dirmi almeno qualche cosa, che so, una eeeeehhh! si era gi dimenticata
di quello che mi aveva detto prima....
"mi puoi portare a casa questa sera?
abito fuori Modena, Modena park"
ti porterei anche in America
ho comperato la macchina apposta!
...e mi ero gi montato la testa...
avevo fatto tutti i miei progetti...
non la portavo mica a casa,
beh se la sposavo non lo so, ma cosa conta!
sono convinto
che se non ci fosse stato lui
mi avrebbe detto si!
sono convinto
che se non ci fosse stato lui
mi avrebbe detto si!!!!

Trapecista
Saliste de entre el fondo de la noche
Y cruzaste mi puerta palida
Te temblaba tu piel como una hoja
Y susurabas algo
Que mas da
Te dije nada mas
Maldita suerte
Y sujete tu mano minima
Te habian hecho mal en todo el alma
Y venias a mi
Buscando paz
Loca
Tu jugaste al trapecista
Y sin red
Y el amor ciega
Y el amor es cruel
No saltes te adverti
No saltes,
Pero ves,
Es ley de vida
Y amar es al fin
Caer
Volvi a secarte bien entre mis manos
Y al lamer tus heridas fragiles
Te abrace contra mi lo mas que pude
Y te bese los ojos sin querer
Te dije nada mas
Maldita suerte
Y sujete tu mano minima
Te habian hecho mal en todo el alma
Y venias a mi
Buscando paz
Loca
Tu jugaste al trapecista
Y sin red
Y el amor ciega
Y el amor es cruel
No saltes te adverti
No saltes,
Pero ves,
Es ley de vida
Y amar es al fin
Caer
Loca
Tu jugaste al trapecista
Y sin red

Vedi, non lontano,
Partiam, ben mio, da qui.
Vorrei, e non vorrei,
Mi trema un poco il cor
Felice, ver, sarei,
Ma pu burlami ancor.
Vieni, mio bel diletto!
Mifa piet Masetto. Io cangier tua sorte
Presto non son pi forte.
Andiam, andiam...

Andiam, andiam, mio bene,
A ristorar le pene
D'un innocente amor.
