Quiero Ser Libre (I Want to Be Free)

Quiero ser libre
para sentir, amar, vivir
quiero ser libre
para reir y compartir

Quiero volver
quiero volver
a tocar el cielo con las manos

Dejame estar
dejame estar contigo
vamos a ser amigos

Quiero sentir
quiero vivir
quiero ser libre

Todas esas veces
que me siento atrapado
si me hubiera dado cuenta
que siempre fui libre
siempre fui libre

Si me hubiera dado cuenta
de que nada me detiene
nada me detiene, nada
nada me detiene
nada me detiene, nada

Quiero ser libre
para sentir, amar, vivir
quiero ser libre
para reir y compartir

Quiero volver
quiero volver
a tocar el cielo con las manos 

Quiero salir
quiero seguir
quiero ser libre

Quiero sentir
quiero vivir
quiero ser libre

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

I want to be free
to feel, love, live
I want to be free
to laugh and share

I want to go back
I wanna go back
to touch the sky with my hands

Let me be
let me be with you
we're going to be friends

I want to feel
I want to live
I want to be free

All those times
when I feel trapped
if I would have realized
that I've always been free
I've always been free

If I'd had realized
that nothing stops me
nothing stops me, nothing
nothing stops me
nothing stops me, nothing

I want to be free
to feel, love, live
I wanna be free
to laugh and share

I want to go back
I wanna go back
to touch the sky with my hands

I want to get out
I want to go on
I wanna be free

I want to feel
I want to live
I wanna be free

Quiero Ser Libre

I don't know what this is really,probably just more DV bollox!

The inspiration for the track came last year when part of my favourite walk was closed for renovations,but I sneaked in past the barriers most days anyway!
Being alone is a landscape prompted be to imagine I was the only person left alive. This in turn took me to what we are doing to the planet and what we might do to help.
Yeah,I was right the first time,more DV bollox!

Taking the shortcut
Past the sign pathway closed
I know I really shouldn't
But as long as no one knows

The sea is ever present
Turning pebbles into sand
As I begin my descent 
Into no man's land

Could be the world has ended
Erased the human race
There are times I have pretended
We didn't leave a trace

Fragile our existence
Living unaware
Yet somewhere in the distance
A rolling nightmare

Reflecting on our being
We seek to understand
Looking but not seeing
We live in Wonderland

Could be the world has ended
Erased the human race
There are times I have pretended
We didn't leave a trace

Wonderland

Anyone who has stood on a stage will associate with this song its a Ballad for a Ballad singer, expressing the experiences and heart felt feeling of the Ballad singers and entertainers the world over. I hope you like it. It is a collaboration between myself and Finn Eces.

Good Rut		c. 2021 by M. A. Manetz

V1
Alarm goes off at six each and every workin' day,
Shower, shave, and breakfast, get the kids off on their way.
Same ol' traffic, same ol' job, same reload/replay.
Sometimes it feels like we're in a rut, but you know what? 

Chorus
It's a good rut,
'Cause I got you by my side,
We're in a good rut,
Together we have made this life...
(Into) Somethin' solid we can hold onto.
I'm happy in this good rut with you.


V2
When we met you swore you'd change my wild and crazy ways.
Now it's dinner, TV, bed by 10, darlin' that's ok.
As long as we're together at the end of the day.
We may be in what some folks call a rut...but...

Chorus

Bridge
Without your love I don't know where I'd be...
Thank my lucky stars you stuck with me...in a good rut.



Chorus

Good Rut

Delighted to have my daughter narrate and my niece Jena join me on vocals. A special thank you to @Philleann for contributing accordion parts and those magical uilleann pipes.     

Set in Ireland in the 1840s, the tale of Cait Ui Challaigh, a widow and mother and a Landlord, Clanricarde who planned to evict them and leave them destitute. A scene played out across Ireland during that period.  

Inspired by the many 'fierce Irish women' throughout Irish History.

I write simple songs, mostly in a country/folk vein. All recordings posted here were done at home with minimal production on my little Tascam Pocket Studio. No great commercial intent here, just a love for the writing process and the hope that one day I will pen one really good one.  Thanks for taking the time to listen!
