And please check this out as well - the Pogues were the only decent thing to come out of the punk movement, and to see them with the Dubliners is just so good:

Hope you're enjoying your new government - at last!

Merry Christmas!

Ahm, I could be wrong (and I'm listening to the song as I type, just to make sure I'm not wrong), but I don't think 'The Power of Love' was a Christmas song?

O'Roth, you asked for it

Pero mira como beben
Los peces en el rio
Pero mira como beben
Por ver al Dios Nacido
Beben y Beben y vuelven a Beber
Los peces en el rio
Por ver a Dios Nacer.

La Virgen esta lavando
Y tendiendo en el romero
Los pajaritos cantando
Y el romero floreciendo

Pero mira . . . .

La Virgen se está peinando
Entre cortina y cortina
Los cabellos son de oro
Y el peine de plata fina

Pero mira . . .

La virjen lleva una rosa
En su divina pechera
Qoe se la dio San José
Y el dia de nochebuena

Pero mira . . . .

Hoy es noche nochebuena
Y manana navida
Los pollos en la cazuela
Y la casa sin fregar

Pero mira . . . .

En el portal de belen
Hay un hombre haciendo migas
Se le callo la sarten
Y acudieron las hormigas

Pero mira . . . .

Y en portal de belen
An entrado los ratones
Y al pobre de San Jose
Le han roido los calzones

La virjen lava panales
Y los tiende en el romero
Los pajaritos le cantan
Y el agua se va riendo

Pero mira . . . .

En el portal de belen
Hacen lumbre los pastores
Para calentar al nino
Que a nacido entre las flores

Pero mira . . . .

Cuando paso por tu puerta
Tu madre me llama fea
Y otra vez que me lo llame
Saco la picha y la meo

Pero mira . . . . [/b]

My (awful) translation:

But look how they drink, the fish in the river,
but look how they drink, to see the Birth of God,
They drink, and they drink, and they drink again,
to see the birth of God

(that's the refrain, loosely translated, let me know if you want the rest)


Ow boy, they 'modernized' it. And it's AWFUL!!

Imagine someone raping 'Oh Holy Night' :s
