Und zusammen ist Jamaram ein Jameleon!

CUENTITO
próxima estación – goya.
desapareció
al abrir los ojos ya no estaba
como es que salió
esto ya pasó
otra vez perdido me encontraba
y nunca volvió
ahora creo yo
porque estaba loco
y la inventaba, la inventaba
como se voló
ahora es sombra negra que me habla
como se voló
te dormiste tanto
cuando despertaste
no sabías ni donde estás
y soñaste tanto
casi te olvidaste sin querer
de nuestro mar
así se escapó
cuando me di vuelta no había nada
no será de a dos
el mundo cambió
tu a por lo tuyo
no hay mañana
desapareció
no me preguntó
me quedé mirando sin tu cara
como se voló
como lo logró
para que la cosa sea tan rara
como se voló
como se voló
te dormiste tanto
que de nuestro mundo
no quedó ni la mitad
y soñaste tanto
para que buscarte
si cuentito no había más
esa noche aprendí que tenía que aguantar
que mejor que me quedara muy solito y nada más
aunque así ya ni sé como seguir
si es una pesadilla
si me la estoy creando
si todo lo que digo me lo invento
voy andando
y ahora que ya te fuiste
que este sol no llega más
y ahí me reí
intentando de soñar
ahora me levanto
te tengo que llamar
lo mismo en cualquier lado
lo mismo allá que acá
creí que confiando iba a llegar
lo mismo pasó a otros
a todos les da igual
te dormiste tanto
que de nuestro mundo
no quedó ni la mitad
y soñaste tanto
para que buscarte
si cuentito no había más
te dormiste tanto
cuando despertaste
no sabías ni donde estás
y soñaste tanto
casi te olvidaste sin querer
de nuestro mar

HEART ATTACK
She was more than a regular fling
Expertise in doing her thing
She's a queen looking for a king
Expecting a diamond ring
And oh gosh no
I can't give her all
And it's h gosh no
Seems I'm bound to fall for her
After the tour when I got back
There she was all dressed in black
The weight of the world was on my back
And it seems like I'm gonna have a heart attack
And oh gosh no
I can't give her all
It's oh gosh no
Seems I'm bound to fall for her
Heart Attack!
By now I should know it better
She wants to do what she does and wants me to let her
So I signed and sealed and sent my letter
To make my escape the sooner the better
And oh gosh no
I can't give her all
And it's h gosh no
Seems I bound to fall for her
There she is all dressed in black
The look in her eye turns me whack
She won't let me go she wants me back
And it seems like I'm gonna have a heart attack
She took all my money all my silver and gold
There she is waiting out the door
I can't go outside she's back for more
She's my heart attack girl 1 – 2 – 3 – 4
Heart Attack!

END UP
Strophe:
Right now I dont know where I’ll be
(or where I'm gonna end up)
But right you are I'm living beside the trees
(where you're gonna end up)
Don’t you worry 'bout where you might be cause you'll be
(where you're gonna end up)
Living in the moment is the place to be you’ll see
Chorus:
Here or there
There or here
I don't seem to care at all
'cause there
All the same, same then all
Turns clear for you to see
It's where you’re gonna end up
Where I'm gonna end up
Where you’re gonna end up
Where I'm gonna end up
Verse:
Oh oh oh no no what you gonna do when you think that you know
(or where you're gonna end up)
With information that you shouldn't have couldn’t have had don’t think about
(where I'm gonna end up)
But I don’t know where I'm gonna be
(where I’m gonna end up)
I think that I’ll stay living beside the trees for now
Chorus:
Here or there
There or here
I don't seem to care at all
'cause there
All the same, same then all
Turns clear for you to see
You got to
Bridge:
Open up... your heart!! (adlib)
It's where your gonna end up
Where I’m gonna end up
Where I’m gonna end up
Where I’m gonna end up
Where I’m gonna end up
Where I’m gonna end up
Open up end up open up end up…

TIME MACHINE
Strophe:
There ain’t nobody home today
But I’m gonna be ok
Sometimes it’s really hard when I’m trying to explain
What's going on in my heart
What’s running through my vains
And I never ever wanted to wake up in this weather - whether
Or not it was clever to sever our relationship
I tried to reach out for your hand
But their's nothing there to hold on to
Was it me or was it you that just wouldn't budge how can you
Explain to me cause I don't think I understand and it’s overdue
Tell me what you want cause I just don’t get what to do
Chorus:
Won’t you tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Tell me what to say
And put it in a timemachine
And it’s never what we want
It’s never what it seems
We live in an illusion
Until we face reality
Can't you tell me what to do
Tell me where to go
Tell me what to think
'cause I just don't know
I know things never stay the same
We are bound to change
Now I’m living in the past
And I wanna go back again
Strophe:
And if I could go back in time
And if I could give it just one more try
I would save you the tears
I would save you all the crying
Cause girl it seems you were never meant to be mine
I tried to reach out for your hand
But their's nothing there to hold on to
Was it me or was it you that just wouldn't budge how can you
Explain to me cause I don't think I understand and it’s overdue
Tell me what you want cause I just don’t get what to do
Chorus:
Won't you tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Tell me what to say
And put it in a timemachine
And it’s never what we want
It’s never what it seems
We live in an illusion
Until we face reality
Can't you tell me what to do
Tell me where to go
Tell me what to think
'cause I just don't know
I know things never stay the same
We are bound to change
Now I'm living in the past
And I wanna go back again
Outro:
Send it on a piece of paper
Don’t you leave the change for later...

Alright

ALRIGHT
Life's kind of hard from time to time
check this!
Holding onto the wheel but the car's out of control
Tryin' to make the steal but I just can't see the ball
Something's going on up in this here neighborhood
I would put my finger on it if I thought I could
What's going on? – I haven't got a clue
But it feels like I got a ton of gum under my shoe
I would try to solve it if I knew just what to do
But I'm lookin' in the mirror and I'm staring at a fool
Pull yourself together! – O.K. my man you're right and
You know how tough it is when it's your own self your fightin'
I go from right to wrong – I go from wrong to right
I go from night to day I cut it loose and keep it tight
And it#s alright – It's gonna be alright – everything is alright
Open your eyes there's light on the other side
And it's alright – It's gonna be alright – everything is alright
Ah ah ah yeah
Back on track again I gotta see what's happening
I'm on fire I'm burning and crackling
What's that? I'm under attack
Stones in my way heavy load on my back
Before I keep on moving got to take a step back
Give me a break come on cut me some slack
It's like No No No! what you think you're doin'
I feel like I'm stuck, when I ought to keep on moving
Oh what the heck – ropes around my neck
Holding me back when I should take the next step
Just let go! - There''s no need in fighting
There ain´t no use in running and hiding
And it's alright – It's gonna be alright – everything is alright
Open your eyes there's light on the other side
And it's alright – It's gonna be alright – everything is alright
Ah ah ah yeah
It will be alright
It may take sometime
Think it over it ain't over – yet
What you're going to do
There's nothing left to do
Cause I'm done looking at myself wondering if I'm cool
Oh don't you take a walk with all your worries and your school
I don't need to be lectured by a teacher who's a fool
I'm trying to say don't be so hard on yourself
Take out all your worries put them up upon the shelve
Just let them dust rust you must not be occupied
But stopp that's no matter let them pass all by
And it's alright – It's gonna be alright – everything is alright
Open your eyes there's light on the other side
And it's alright – It's gonna be alright – everything is alright
Ah ah ah yeah

EVA
Chorus:
Eva Eva Eva Eva Eva Eva Eva Eva
In any kind of weather
Me and that girl Eva
Strophe:
It's all the same got no one to blame
And your standing in the frame framed by the game
And you've got nothing to say but day after day
Keeps moving the way you planned out straight
So step aside and take a break from love
Turn around and look me in the eye
Chorus:
Eva do you remember
We went to school together
Any kind of weather me and that girl Eva
Eva do you remember
We went to school together
Any kind of weather me and that girl Eva
Strophe:
I was passing by a passenger in the morning on the train
I'm sure I knew her from somewhere or does she just look the same
And I'm asking her have we met before can't remember your name
Some place some how we lost contact and there's no one to blame
So step aside and take a break from love
Turn around and look me in the eye
Chorus:
Eva do you remember
We went to school together
Any kind of weather me and that girl Eva
Eva do you remember
We went to school together
Any kind of weather me and that girl Eva
Bridge
Eva do you remember...
Eva do you remember...

END OF THE WORLD
You know that time and time and time again
Change will come for the better or the worse
And you know maybe some day it will change
And at the end of the day change is gonna come
It's the end of the world as we know it
Things are gonna change
It's the end of the world as we know it
Surely gonna rearrange
It's the end of the world as we know it
Never be the same
It's the end of the world as we know it
I look to the front to the back to the left to the right look up and down
And all I see is the same old story
Competition who's the best? How can I exceed my next door neighbor
Is our only worry
But when the water that we all need
Air that we all breathe
Food that we all eat goes to waste
How can we not see
Our mother earth bleed
Nature is crying don't leave it too late
Know that time and time and time again
Things will change for the better or the worse
I know that sometimes they stay the same
But by the end of the day the change is gonna come
It's the end of the world as we know it
Things are gonna change
It's the end of the world as we know it
Surely gonna rearrange
It's the end of the world as we know it
Never be the same
It's the end of the world as we know it

HARD WAY
It's hard to tell what's wrong or what's right when
Love's got you tangled up and fogs up your sight and
No way to fight it so don't even try
To read the truth in between the lines
And so my friends
Were right about you when they say
That you were no good
And in the end
It's true what they say
That some have to learn it the hard way
Love's not a game that we just play
It takes what it takes
We all make our mistakes
Who wants the truth when you're living the fake
Sooner or later everybody brakes
Call it coincidence or call it fate
And some say
It's just a matter of time
Someday
I know I'll be fine
It's o.k.
Everything is alright
Some have to learn it the hard way
Love's not a game that we just play
What's over is over
What's gone that is gone
What's over is over
And now I gotta sing my sad song
What's over is over
What's gone that is gone
What's over is over
And now it's time for me to move on
And so my friends
Were right about you when they say
That you were no good
And in the end
It's true what they say
That some have to learn it the hard way
And so my friends
Were right about you when they say
That you were no good
And in the end
It's true what they say
That some have to learn it the hard way
Some say
It's just a matter of time
Someday
I know I'll be fine
It's o.k.
Everything is alright
'Cause some have to learn it the hard way
Love's not a game that we just play
Some have to learn it the hard way

Carried Away
04:30

CARRIED AWAY
It's good to be so far
So far away
To take a peak behind the fog and step
Step into the light
Break open the night
It'll burn your eyes but it will clear your sight
You might get upset
'bout what you find
But let me tell you brother it's alright
Cause now you can see
What lays behind
Your own facade putting up a fight!!!
Fight fight fight
For your mind
You better
Fight fight fight
For your mind
I got carried away... today
With a child in my arms... oh yeay
Wrapped in a charm
Just carried away, carried away, carried away
The child in you
Will come on out
Look into the sky and wonder all about
About all the places
You sold out
Break through that shell and climb their own route
Upon the face
Of the EARTH
It reflects you and it gives birth
To the child in me
And the child in you
Walk upon the beaches lay inside the surf
Surf surf surf
All around
Oh you gotta
Surf surf surf
And not drown
Oohh…. Oohh….
Oohh…. Oohh….
Now it may shine
And it might snow
Seasons change don't you grow cold
Cause things are fine
When you unwind
Try to grow young while you're growing old
...all around you
We're growing old old old
And we're bound to get
Carried away… some day
With a smile on our face… ooh yeay
For the child in your arms...
Just carried away, carried away, carried away
Take some time to
Look out side you
Don't be shy you
You can shine too
I got carried away... today
In the arms of a child... ooh yeay
Healed by a smile... on it's face
Just carried away, carried away, carried away

RAINBOW
Let's go
Back to Rainbow
A place where you can be who you want to be
Rainbow house down in UG
Let's go
Back to rainbow
When I'm stuck over here in the rain and snow
Rainbow house is the place to go
The matatu I got on got a flat is out of order
It's so hot so good luck that today I brought my water
From Bukasa down to Kabalagala
I'm hangin' out and I'm chillin' in Kampala
Should I walk to Rainbow or take a boda boda
No need to rush – mpola mpola
Let's go
Back to Rainbow
A place where you can be who you want to be
Rainbow house down in UG
Let's go
Back to rainbow
When I'm stuck over here in the rain and snow
Rainbow house is the place to go
O baile todo ta zuando
Baile todo ta maluco
E lancamento novo no passinho vai
Mamo mano penetra como se fosse em uganda bis
De manana no estamos en alemanha
Mamo mano penetra como se fosse em uganda bis
De manana no estamos en alemanha
Mexe essa bundinha tanz was du kannst bis
Mexe essa bundinha como se fosse a beyonce
Mexe essa bundinha tanz was du kannst bis
Mexe essa bundinha como se fosse a beyonce
Let's go
Back to Rainbow
O uganda morena de angola
Let's go
Back to Rainbow
O keniana menina que linda
Ich will noch lang nicht gehen ich will nicht jetzt schon heim
Eu quero voltar para esse rainbow maravilhoso beleza
Was kann es schöneres geben als in UG zu sein
Conheci uma gatinha de uganda, o morena gostosa
Die Füße tragen mich von selbst ich war noch nie so leicht
E saimos na nigth kampala galera manera brinca comigo oooo
Die Welt ist riesengroß ich laufe los und fühl mich nicht so klein
O jamaram em uganda zuamos kampala no rainbow

When I look into your eyes
Then I can see right through you
Take off your disguise
There ain't nobody trying to fool you
When I look into your eyes
Then I can see right through you
Take Off your disguise
There ain't nobody trying to fool you
Who do you think you are do you think you are do you think you are?
Who do you think you are do you think you are do you think you are?
Who do you think you are do you think you are do you think you are?
Who do you think you are do you think you are do you think you are?
Take a walk in my boots
Then you can see what I do
I'm telling you the truth
There ain't no tree without roots
When I listen to your lies
Then I can see the true you
Take off your disguise
There ain't nobody trying to fool you
We are gone like a shooting star like a shooting star like a shooting star
Your gone like a shooting star like a shooting star like a falling star
You fade like a shooting star like a shooting star like a shooting star
You're gone like a shooting star like a shooting star like a falling star
Take a walk in my boots
You are to go take a walk in my boots
Then you can see what I do
Maybe you can change your point of view
I'm telling you the truth
Telling you the truth
There aint no tree without roots
There isn't any tree without roots
Take a walk in my shoes
You need to change your point of view

Jamaram Munich, Germany
It is hard to say for how many bright faces JAMARAM can be accredited for within the previous 20 years of performing live on stage. With approx. 100 shows a year, the number of singing mouths and dancing legs in the audience probably ranges into the hundreds of thousands. Having toured halfway around the world and despite, or maybe because of their longevity, the band is far from retiring! ... more
