Song lyrics challenge.

votes

This challenge is a translation of song lyrics. It is an American/English song from the late 60's(rock). Part 1:Translate it into the English version which should come out as a rhyming lyric and Part 2: Tell me the name by private message. I will post the song title in a couple of days depending on how it is working out. Clues?There are certain hazy clues to be seen if you're clever enough, the artists no longer exist, the song was never released as a single as it is too long, therefore only ardent fans of *** ***will know the song (I would have guessed this one in the first 3 words).Here are the lyrics, ¡Buena suerte! Remember to post lyrics only, pm the title to me and I will answer.


¡Hurra! Despierto del ayer - vivo, pero la guerra sigue aquí para quedarse; Así que mi querida Catherina y yo - decidimos hacer una última caminata del ruido al mar; No para morir sino para renacer - lejos de la tierra tan maltratada y rota - Siempre.

What??? No one has bit on this yet??? not even a nibble???

Well Yesero, how about the words...

  • Hooray, I awake from yesterday,
  • alive but the war is here to stay.
  • So my love, Catherina, and me
  • decide to take our last walk through the noise to the sea
  • not to die, but to be re-born
  • away from lands so battered and torn, forever.

OH! You guys are good. I didn't realize the clue you referred to in your pm was that obvious. You win and I will announce and accept your answer later on. I want to see if anyone else knows. - Yeser007, Feb 13, 2010
Nice job Aloshek and Fidalgo, the answer= "1983..(a merman I should turn to be)" by Jimi Hendrix - Yeser007, Feb 13, 2010

Here is mine:

.

"Hay una señora que está segura

que todo lo que brilla es oro,

Y se está comprando una escalera al cielo"

(This is similar to Aloshek's post because there's only one answer.)

Hurray, I awake from yesterday

Alive, but the war is here to stay

So my love, Catherina and me,

decide to take our last walk through the noise to the sea

Not to die but to reborn,

away from lands so battered and torn

Forever

Would that be "Fool in the Rain" covered by the Mexican band "Mana"?

"Hay una señora que está segura

que todo lo que brilla es oro,

Y se está comprando una escalera al cielo" There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold and she's buying a stairway to heaven. and if anyone doesn't know that title, shame on you! Anyone have another song?

OK guys, three answers, one which doesn't count because she helped me with my translation. I still want the name of the song if anyone else out there knows it. Send pm.
