WHEN THE SAINTS
GO MARCHING IN
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyLjbMBpGDA
We are trav'ling in the footsteps
Of those who've gone before
And we'll all be reunited,
On a new and sunlit shore,
Oh, when the saints go marching in,
Oh, when the saints go marching in
Lord how I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in
And when the sun begins to shine
And when the sun begins to shine
Lord, how I want to be in that number
When the sun begins to shine
Oh, when the saints go marching in,
Oh, when the saints go marching in
Lord how I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in
Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call
Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call
Lord, how I want to be in that number
When the trumpet sounds its call
Oh, when the saints go marching in,
Oh, when the saints go marching in
Lord how I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY0G_S6ZrtE
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho,
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
and the walls came tumbling down.
You may talk about your king of Gideon,
you may talk about your man of Saul,
there's none like good old Joshua
at the battle of Jericho
Up to the walls of Jericho
he marched with spear in hand,
"Go blow them ram-horns" Joshua cried,
"'cause the battle is in my hand."
Then the lamp-ram sheep-horn begin to blow,
trumpets begin to sound,
Joshua commanded the children to shout
and the walls came tumbling down.
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho,
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
and the walls came tumbling down.
Didn’t it rain
Didn't it rain children?
Talk about rain, oh my Lord!
Didn't it fall, didn't it fall?
Didn't it fall, my Lord didn't it rain?
Oh, it rained forty days
And it rained forty nights
There was no land no where in sight.
God send the angel to spread the news
He haste his wings and away he flew
To the East, to the West
To the North, to the South
All day all night how it rained, how it rained.
Didn't it rain children?
Talk about rain, oh my Lord!
Didn't it fall, didn't it fall?
Didn't it fall, my Lord didn't it rain?
Some at the window, some at the door
Some said, "Noah can't you take a little more?"
"No, no" said Noah, "no, no my friends
The nature got to keep, you can't get in
I told you, I told you a long time ago
You wouldn't hear me, you disobey me
Lord send the angel a warning to you
It began to rain and now you are through."
Well, it rained forty days
Forty nights without stopping.
Noah was glad
When the rain stopped dropping.
Knock at the window, knock at the door
"Come on, brother Noah
Can't you take little more?"
"No, no, my brothers you are full of sin,
God has the key, you can't get in
Would you listen how it rained."
Didn't it rain children?
Talk about rain, oh my Lord!
Didn't it fall, didn't it fall?
Didn't it fall, my Lord didn't it rain?
About the Gospel Song Didnt It Rain
"Didn't It Rain" is a traditional Black Gospel song popularized by Mahalia Jackson.
Another interpretation of “Didnt It Rain by “Sister” Rosetta Tharpe
Rosetta Tharpe (March 20, 1915 – October 9, 1973) was a pioneering Gospel singer, songwriter and recording artist who attained great popularity in the 1930s and 1940s with a unique mixture of spiritual lyrics and early rock accompaniment. She became the first great recording star of Gospel music in the late 1930s and also became known as the "original soul sister" of recorded music
Other version:
Didn't it Rain
Forty days forty nights when the rain kept fallin’,
The wicked climb the tree, and for help kept a callin’,
For they heard the waters wailin’,
Didn’t it rain, rain,
Didn’t it rain!
Tell me Noah didn’t it rain!
Some climb the mountain, some climb the hill,
Some started sailin’ an’ a rowin’ with a will;
Some tried swimming an’ I guess they’re swimmin’ still.
For they heard the waters roarin’!
Didn’t it rain, rain,
Didn’t it rain!
Tell me Noah didn’t it rain!

(You Make Me Feel Like a) Natural Woman
Carole King, Gerry Goffin e Jerry Wexler - 1967
Aretha Franklin
Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But you're the key to my peace of mind
'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman
When my soul was in the lost and found
You came along, to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
'Til your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
And if I make you happy I don't need to do more
'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman
Oh, baby, what you done to me?
You make me feel so good inside
And I just wanna be close to you
You make me feel so alive
You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman
You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman
traduzione in italiano di Ermanno Tassi
Mi Fai Sentire Una Donna Genuina
Nell’osservare la pioggia mattutina al di fuori
Mi sentivo banale
E giacché sapevo di dover affrontare un altro giorno
Signore, mi faceva sentire tanto stanca
Prima del giorno in cui ti ho incontrato, la vita era così crudele
Ma tu sei la chiave per rendermi serena
Perché mi fai sentire, mi fai sentire
Mi fai sentire una donna genuina
Quando la mia anima era agli oggetti smarriti
Sei venuto a reclamarla
Non sapevo cosa non andava in me
Finché il tuo bacio mi aiutò a dargli un nome
Ora non ho più dubbi sul motivo per cui vivo
E se ti farò felice non avrò bisogno di fare altro
Perché mi fai sentire, mi fai sentire
Mi fai sentire una donna genuina
Oh, caro, cosa mi ha fatto?
Tu mi fai sentire tanto bene intimamente
Ed io voglio solamente starti vicino
Mi fai sentire così viva
Mi fai sentire, mi fai sentire
Mi fai sentire una donna genuina
Mi fai sentire, mi fai sentire
Mi fai sentire una donna genuina
Mi fai sentire, mi fai sentire… (sfumare)
