...SKELETONS OF QUINTO... by The Folksmen
-------------------------................
*from A Mighty Wind Original Soundtrack (2003)*
Intro:
Verse 1:
I worked the fields my father worked,
From dawn until setting sun.
My calloused hands and wind-burned face,
Have marked me as a man.
Chorus 1:
Who has no voice, no rights, no hope,
No place to call his own.
And the skeletons, of Quinto, call me home.
Bridge 1:
The silver tentacles of the moon s rays haunt me,
The deathly silence of the mountains, chill me to the bone.
And the skeletons, of Quinto, call me home.
Verse 2:
If I lived to be a hundred, I won t know me Papa s plight.
The cruelty of the master s whip, the horrors of the night.
Chorus 2:
He braved them all and stood his ground;
The bravest ever known.
And the skeletons, of Quinto, call me home.
Bridge 2:
Un Oceano de verguenza incita nuestros recuerdos,
Las estranguladas, lesadillas de muerte.
Me estremecen hasta los huesos,
Y los esqueleetos de Quinto, me llaman a mi morada.
Interlude:
(x2)
,
Verse 3:
I know that somehow, in this world, the workers must be free.
The toil and sweat and tyranny, the fascist jeu d es-prit.
Chorus 3:
Will only serve to keep us down; and aid the bourgeoi-sie.
And the skeletons, of Quinto, call me home.
