Magdalena (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Please don?t tell me I can?t make it
It ain?t gonna do me any good
And please don?t offer me your modern methods
I?m fixing to carve this out of wood

From Nogales to Magdalena
There are 60 miles of sacred road
And the promises made to those who venture
San Francisco will lift your load

In the land of old Sonora
A shallow river valley cries
The summer left her without forgiveness
It?s mirrored in her children?s eyes
Prodigal sons and wayward daughters
Carry mandas that they might
Be delivered from the depths of darkness
And born again by candlelight
And born again by candlelight

Blisters on my feet, wooden rosary
I felt them in my pocket as I ran
A bullet in the night
A Federales? light
San Francisco, do you understand?

Tell him that I made the journey
And tell him that my heart is true
I?d like his blessing of forgiveness before the angels send it through

And I will know that I am clean now
And I will dance and the band will play
In the old out to cantina
Cause we?ll runneth over the ancient clay

And if I should fall to temptation when I return to evil throes
From Nogales to Magdalena
As a two time beggar
I will go where I know I can be forgiven
The broken heart of Mexico
The broken heart of Mexico
The broken heart of Mexico

overcome by your moving temple
overcome by this holiest of altars
so pure, so rare to witness such an earthly goddess
that i’ve lost my self control
beyond compelled to throw this dollar down
before your holiest of altars
i’d sell my soul,
my self esteem a dollar at a time for
one chance,
one kiss,
one taste of you my magdalena
i bear witness to this place,
this prayer so long forgotten
so pure, so rare to witness such an earthly goddess
that i’d sell my soul,
my self esteem a dollar at a time for
one chance,
one kiss,
one taste of you my black madonna
i’d sell my soul,
my self esteem a dollar at a time for
one taste,
one taste,
one taste of you my magdalena

To witness such an earthly goddess

Beyond compelled to throw this dollar down before your

To witness such an earthly goddess

Morning, sit in the morning sun
Evening, watching the shadow come
Through the bright streets of london
I feel the rain
Upon my eyes as i wonder
At this spell that i’m under, magdalen
Since you came along

Meet me with your arms of snow and
Meet me with your mouth undone
I’m burning up from head to tow eh
Magdalena when you’re gone

Dreaming, we’re drinking the night away
Talking, way past the break of day
Through the bright streets of london
I feel the rain
Upon my eyes as i wonder
At this spell that i’m under, magdalen
Since you came along

Meet me with your arms of snow and
Meet me with your mouth undone
I’m burning up from head to tow eh
Magdalena when you’re gone

Nananananananananananananana
Nananananananananananananana

Meet me with your arms of snow and
Meet me with your mouth undone
I’m burning up from head to tow eh
Magdalena when you’re gone

There was a man
A little ole man
Who lived in montreal
With a wife and a kid
And a car and a house
And a teenage daughter
With a see-thru blouse
Who loved to grunt and ball – –
And her name was magdalena

The little ole man
Came home one night
To his house in montreal.
He caught his daughter
In the blouse by the light
And he said to himself:
"she looks all right!"
And he reached for a tit
And grabbed it tight
And threw her up
Against the wall
(blue cross!)

Magdalena, my daughter dear,
Do not be concerned when your
Canadian daddy comes near.
My daughter dear
Do not be concerned when your
Canadian daddy comes near.
I work so hard,
Don’t you understand,
Making maple syrup
For the pancakes of our land.
Do you have any idea
What that can do to a man
What that can do to a man?
Do you have any idea
What that can do to a man
What that can do to a man?

The little ole man
With the grubby little hand
Who lived in montreal
Was drooling a bit
As he reached for her tit
And he said to himself:
"this gonna be it!"
But the girl turned around
And said: "go eat shit!"
And ran on down the hall.
Right on, magdalena!

My daughter dear,
Do not be concerned when your
Canadian daddy comes near.
My daughter dear
Do not be concerned when your
Canadian daddy comes near.
I work so hard,
Don’t you understand,
Making maple syrup
For the pancakes of our land.
Do you have any idea?
What that can do to a man
What that can do to a man?
Do you have any idea?
What that can do to a man
What that can do to a man?

Magdalena, don’t you tease me like this
Right in the hallway with your blouse and your tits
If your mommy ever finds us like this
She’ll call a lawyer, oh how mom will be pissed

Doodle doodle doodle duh-duh dee-uh
Doodle doodle doodle duh-duh dee-uh

Magdalena, magdalena, magdalena, magdalena,
Daughter of the smog-filled winds of los angeles,
I’d like to take you in the closet
And take off your little clothes
Until you’re virtually stark raving nude,
Spread mayonaise and kaopectate all over your body
And take you down to hollywood boulevard
And we can, we can walk down the streets
By the stars that say john provost and leo g. carrol
Together, baby.

Magdalena sits in her chair
Speaking on the mass
She talks in splice and splinters
She laughs not breaking glass
She said that she would have me
Spirit her away
Stealing all my images
Till there’s nothin’ left to say

Oh, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
Your love is like a razor
My heart is just a scar
Oh, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are

She tells me that she wants me
Then she tells me not to bother
She tells me that i couldn’t hold
A candle to her father
She knows that she’s got me
When i start to rave about
She’ll justsmile and flash her eyes
And blow the candle out

Oh, magdalena
Oh, ho, ho, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are

Magdalena lying there
Could make a dancer stumble
Make a preacher bite his tongue
And leave him with a mumble
And if you think i’m crazy babe
Or that i’m kiddin’ you
Just pay your dues and lose your blues
When she gets her tongue in you

Oh, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
Your love is like a razor
My heart is just a scar
Oh, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are

Well, i can’t be forgotten
And i can’t be ignored
You find me with my poems
And my songs
But if upon your journey you’re turning to l.a.
Won’t you take this little red-haired girl aong?

Oh, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
Your love is like a razor
My heart is just a scar
Oh, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
