Ohrbooten

Band called Ohrbooten comes  from Germany and combines different genres: hip hop, pop, rock, gypsy, reggae, jazz, dancehall, alternative, salsa, orientaö, ragga, rap and ska. Ohrbooten calls their musical style as Gyp-Hop, that's also the name of their third and for now latest album. Name comes from gypsy and hip hop.

There are four members (from left): Christopher Noodt (keyboard, bass, back vocals), Ben Pavlidis (leading vocals, guitar, lyrics), Markus "Onkel" (means "Uncle") Lingner (percussion, drums, cajon,  back vocals) and Matze Jechlitschka (guitar, back vocals).

Band Ohrbooten sings in German because they want to be undesrtod in Germany because the lyrics are essential. They don't sing just in German but in slang od Berlin. Though they have performed on the stage they keep coming back to the streets where their group was formed and started for to be near their audience and people.

Ohrbooten has collaborated with such Central European bands as Estonian group Vanilla Ninja and German group Culcha Candela (maybe more about them later) and from 2008  Ohrbooten has been working for German project "School without rasism - School with courage".

This song is about the sad weather when we want to go elsewhere "where the weather is better". I heard this song first time when it was raining cats and dogs and tarantellas and this was like a ray of sun in the middle of grey. I apologize for this lyrics translation may contain errors for I have translated it from slang of Berlin which I do not speak.

UND TSCHÜSS!!!!

ik loof da so die Straße lang
kalter Regen is of menen Wegen
und es fängt auch noch zu hageln an
ey wat is 'n dit für 'n Leben?
wat mach ich bloß in dieser Stadt,
die mehr Winter als nen Sommer hat?

*und tschüss!...
wann ik wiederkomm is ungewiss
sicher is, dass ik mir verpiss
dahin wo det Wetter besser is
Sonnenschein ohne Kompromiss*

mene Füße in die Socken
mit zusammn in mene Botten
und dann volle pulle joggen
zu Robben und Wientjes

Lasterverleih!!!

allet wat ik hab, 
ab of 'n Truck jepackt
durch die Innenstadt
Stop vor 'nem Trödelshop-Spot
und verklopp den Schrott
dit war doch allet nur 'n Anker
und ohne soviel Zeug läuft et doch sowieso entspannter
schicket one-way-ticket
der Style is mein Mantra

*und tschüss!... * (2x)

mein Konto lös ich auf
Wohnungskündigung is raus
mein Auto is verkauft
meinen Kumpels sag ich ciao

*und tschüss!... *

UND TSCHÜSS!!!!



 AND BYE!!!!

I run down the street...

The cold rain is on my way

It starts to hail...

Ey what is this?

What am I really doing in this city

Which has more winter than summer?

*And bye!...

When do I come back

It's uncertain

Certain is that I'll go

There where the weather is better

Sunshine without compromise *

My feet are in my socks

With my boots

And then full speed ahead

To the "Robben und Wintjes" ( a rent a car& transport company)

!!!Rastafari!!!

All what I got

Is packed in a trunk

Through the city

STOP in front of a junk shop

I leave all my stuff

All that was just an anchor

With less stuff it's more relaxing

Send a one-way-ticket...

That is my mantra

*And bye...* (2x)

I erase my account, my house dismissal is on,

My car is sold, to my friends I say ciao!

*And bye...* (3x)

AND BYE!!!

Huecco

Iván Sevillano Perez known as Huecco is a Spanish singer. His musical style is vide: latin, rock, salsa, banda, cumbia, samba, son cubano, reggae, urban, reggaeton, rumba, pop, mambo, ska, hip hop, flamenco... He makes combinations and suprising mixtures of different genres.
Also he is known for creating new music style rumbaton.

Huecco is known mostly in Latin lands like America, Brasil and Portugal. He also has travelled in America in Cuba, Mexico, LA, Sao Paulo etc. to combine theme with his Spanish roots.

His lates album is Assalto released in 2008.

Along with Spanish Huecco sings few songs in Portuguese and French.

Check also: La reina de los angelotes (acoustic)("The queen of little angels"), Mirando al cielo ("Looking to the sky"), Je pense a tes yeux ("I think of your eyes"), Los tesoros imposibles ("The impossible treasures"), Si me ayudas volar ("If you help me to fly"), Idiota ("Idiot"), Se acabaron las lagrimas with Hanna ("The tears stopped"), Los tacones baratos ("Cheep heels"), lyrics


What I specially like in Huecco is his great lyrics and the strange way to express himself. His music is catching and partly wild. Reina de los angelotes is one of my fovorites along with the song Creo, which is my song to share today. Notice that Huecco mentions a name, Itzel, she is his daughter and song is dedicated to her. 



CREO

Creo en la fuerza del hombre
Cuando invade tierras que no le corresponden
Creo en Troya cuando arde
Y en la buena fe de los daños colaterales.

Creo en Dios cuando en su nombre
Tiemblan los vagones de Madrid y Londres
Trueques de petróleo y sangre
Bendito intercambio siempre en busca de culpables.

Y creo en la magia que se esconde
Tras la Patria y las banderas de colores
En los que mueren en combate
Y en los que pisaron las minas de chocolate.

Por eso, sólo creo en ti
Uay ay ay amor, sólo creo en ti.
(sólo creo en ti).

Creo que creo en las distintas versiones
En las mil caras del miedo y sus manifestaciones
Ratitas presumidas y arrogantes
Juegan a barrer países y a esconder las llaves.

Y las tiran al fondo del mar
Matarile rile ron matarile rile ran
Creo en fuegos artificiales
Y en las fallas militares.

Por eso, sólo creo en ti
Uay ay ay amor...

*No, no creo en la inocencia
De la voz, de la voz de su conciencia
Yo no, yo no, yo no voy a besar las bocas de la violencia
Porque las flores se mustian y el odio te angustia
Y yo sólo creo, sólo creo en ti.
(sólo creo en ti).*

Creo en discursos con sermones
En promesas para adulterar las elecciones
Creo en ladrones de blanco guante
Cínicos pinochos en sillas de gobernantes.

Caballos comen peones
Alfiles se rinden ante el poder de las Torres
Y jaque al rey desde los mares
En el ajedrez de las potencias nucleares.

Por eso, sólo creo en ti
Uay ay ay Itzel...

*No, no creo.. *

No me interesa ser la fresa presa de sus ambiciones
Leones con encías que vacían nuestros corazones
No hay razones pa que nos sigan tocando los cojones
Nadie confiesa ni expresa perdones... ni expresan perdones.

No, no creo en la inocencia
De la voz, de la voz de su conciencia
Ay!

*No, no creo... *



I BELIEVE

I believe in mankind

When it conquires lands that do not belong to it

I believe in good belief of collaterar damages

I believe in God when in His name

Carriages of Madrid and London are trembling

The trade of petrol and blood

Blessed exchange always seeking for culprits

Yes I believe in magic that hides

Behind the homeland and flags of colours

In those who die in the battle

And in those who step into the mines of chocolate

That's why I only believe in you

Uay ay ay my love, I only believe in you

(I only believe in you)

I think I believe in different versions

In one thousand faces of fear and its manifestations

Complacen and arrogant little rats

Play sweeping the countries and hiding the keyes

And thay'll be thrown to the bottom of the sea

Killingile rile ron killingile rile ron

I believe in fire works

And in the militarian faults

That's why, I only believe in you

Uay ay ay my love, I only believe in you

*No, no I don't believe in the innocence of the voice, of the voice of concience

I'm not, I'm not, I'm not gonna kiss the lips of the violence

Because the flowers whiter and the hate disstress you

And I only believe in you, only in you

(only believe in you) *

I believe in speeches with sermons

In promises to falsify the elecctions

I believe in robbers with white gloves

Mordant cynics on the chairs of government

The horses eat pawns

The bishops surrender under the pover of the Towers

The check to the king beginning from the sea

In the chess of nuclear power

That's why I only believe in you

Uay ay ay Itzel

*No, no I don't.. *

I'm not interested to be the strawberry catch of your ambicions

Lions with gums drain our hearts

There is no reason us to keep touching the balls

No one confess, nor expresses the forgiveness

Nor express the forgiveness

No, no I don't believe in the innocence of the voice, of the voice of concience

Ay

*No, no I don't.. *
