Grandma loved a sailor who sailed the frozen sea.
Grandpa was that whaler and he took me on his knee.
He said, "Son, I'm goin' crazy From livin' on the land.
Got to find my shipmates and walk on foreign sands."
This old man was graceful, with silver in his smile.
He smoked a briar pipe and He walked for country miles.
Singing songs of shady sisters and old time liberty.
Songs of love and songs of death And songs to set men free.
I've got three ships and sixty men, A course for ports unread.
I'll stand at mast, let north winds blow Till half of us are dead.
Land ho!
Well, if I get my hands on a dollar bill, Gonna buy a bottle and drink my fill.
If I get my hands on a number five, Gonna skin that litlle girl alive.
If I get my hands on a number two, Come back home and marry you, marry you, marry you. All right! Land ho!
Yeah, land ho Yeah, land ho
Well, if I get back home And I feel all right
You know I'm gonna love you tonight
Love tonight Love tonight
Yeah, land ho!
The lyrics LAND OH! of THE DOORS is also present in the album Morrison hotel (1970)
The Doors sono stati un gruppo rock statunitense formati a Venice Beach, California, nel 1965. Il gruppo era composto da Jim Morrison (voce), Robby Krieger (chitarra), Ray Manzarek (organo) e John Densmore (batteria). Conosciuti per il loro sound psichedelico e le performance teatrali di Morrison, The Doors hanno raggiunto la fama internazionale negli anni '60 con brani come "Light My Fire", "Riders on the Storm" e "The End". La loro musica esplorava temi oscuri come la morte, la sessualità e la società americana. Dopo la tragica scomparsa di Morrison nel 1971, il gruppo ha continuato a registrare per alcuni anni, ma senza raggiungere più i successi del passato. The Doors sono considerati uno dei gruppi rock più influenti della storia, con un'eredità che continua ad ispirare artisti e fan in tutto il mondo.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
