Vaya Con Dios
(Hiss)
I see the looks you've been giving me
I know our love ain't what it was
so just ride away, I'll be okay
and baby, vaya con Dios
This town is too small for both of us
so pack up and saddle your horse
if you stick around I'm gonna have to shoot you down
so buddy, vaya con Dios
Vaya con Dios
let's say farewell
Vaya con Dios
see you in heaven or hell
I know this bullet is killing me
I got just one last border to cross
my journey ends, so ride on my friend
and vaya con Dios
Vaya con Dios
let's say farewell
Vaya con Dios
see you in heaven or hell
Vaya con Dios
que te vaya bien
Vaya con Dios
we might meet again
Robot Cowgirl
(Hiss)
Sixteen hours in the saddle
in the Arizona sun
Riding hard, driving cattle
she's handy with a rope and with a gun
She never needs water
she don't need no rest
she's the toughest cowhand in the west
Ride on robot cowgirl
Nobody else could fill her shoes
Ride on robot cowgirl
She's the best of all the buckaroos
Thirteen weeks on the trail
and nothing slows her down
In the blizzard, in the hail
through the badlands and the towns
There is no steer that she can't rope
and no pony she can't ride
the kind of cowhand you'd wanr by your side
Ride on robot cowgirl
Nobody else could fill her shoes
Ride on robot cowgirl
She's the best of all the buckaroos
She don't mind doing the dirty work
she likes riding all day long
When the sun goes down
she sings a cowboy song
Ride on robot cowgirl
Nobody else could fill her shoes
Ride on robot cowgirl
She's the best of all the buckaroos
Cha Cha Till You Die
(Hiss)
Coming from the asteroid belt
it's heading our way
it is going to crash on earth
tomorrow or today
Billions will be killed at once
we won't stand a chance
so honey put a record on
I think it's time to dance
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
baby, please don't cry
there is nothing we can do
but cha cha till we die
Some will hide in bunkers
in caves or in the hills
if the crash won't kill them
the floods and fires will
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
baby, please don't cry
there is nothing we can do
but cha cha till we die
Some say it's the wrath of God
some say it's just bad luck
be it as it may my love
mankind sure is fucked
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
baby, please don't cry
there is nothing we can do
but cha cha till we die

Atomic Girl
(Hiss)
A flash so bright, a boom so loud
in the sky a mushroom cloud
the saddest smile upon your lips
nuclear apocalypse
Our love is hotter than the sun
the chain reaction has begun
this passion has got out of hand
the world is coming to an end
Poisonous rain falls from the sky
the trees, the birds, the people die
we are the last two humans in this world
I love you so, atomic girl
Canción del Cosmonauta
(Hiss)
Es el capitán del cielo
es un hombre de honor
tiene cojones de acero
no tiene dudas ni temor
Es aviador y navegante
es guerrero y prospector
en el espacio distante
busca el saber y el valor
Cosmonauta, cosmonauta
siempre bravo, siempre fiel
cosmonauta, cosmonauta
quisiera ser más como él
Recordaremos a su nombre
y a su gran temeridad
un pasito para un hombre
un gran salto pa’ la humanidad
Que viven el progreso
la patria y la prez
en el día de su regreso
aplaudimos otra vez
Cosmonauta, cosmonauta…
Buscando mi Amor
(Hiss)
De Veracruz a Manzanillo
de Zacatal a Oposol
de Apatzingán a Hermosillo
estoy buscando mi amor
Del continente al océano
del ártico al ecuador
en la sierra, en el llano
estoy buscando mi amor
Perdí toda mi riqueza
mi familia mi honor
nada más gané tristeza
estoy buscando mi amor
De la manigua al desierto
en el frío, en el calor
de los pantanos a los huertos
estoy buscando mi amor
Buscando mi amor en la sequía, en la marea
Buscando mi amor en el pedrisco, en el temblor
Buscando mi amor en la calma, en la procela
Buscando mi amor estoy buscando mi amor
De la tierra a Urano
al espacio exterior
en cada sistema planetario
estoy buscando mi amor
Buscando mi amor en todas las planetas
Buscando mi amor en el frío, en el calor
Buscando mi amor en los bólidos y cometas
Buscando mi amor estoy buscando mi amor
Buscando mi amor en el cercano y lejano
Buscando mi amor en el norte, en el sur
Buscando mi amor en el invierno, en el verano
Buscando mi amor estoy buscando mi amor
Beyond the Milky Way
(Hiss)
I've just gassed up my starship
it's sleek and silver-gray
into deep space it will take me
beyond the milky way
What keeps me on this planet?
I've wondered every day
so I set my mind on travelin’
beyond the milky way
Too many days I've wasted
on work for meager pay
no more time I will be loosing
beyond the milky way
So ground control, I'm ready,
all systems work okay
and soon I will be flyin’
beyond the milky way
Ref.:
Now the countdown's done
and the engines run
and I am on my way
Adios muchachos
there ain't much more to say
but I guess I'll see you somewhere
beyond the milky way
Space Buckaroo
(Hiss)
I like to roam the solar system
the neighboring galactic quadrants, too
looking for adventure and for wisdom
like a space buckaroo
Far away from humans
and from everything they do
searching for quiet and peace and freedom
I‘m a space buckaroo
On my metal horse I travel
to places unavowed and new
to uncharted stars and hidden planets
like a space buckaroo
Far away from humans
and the crazy things they do
searching for quiet and peace and freedom
I‘m a space buckaroo

Zombies From Outer Space
(Hiss)
Better start running
Zombies are coming
and they have an appetite
They’re out to get ya
don’t let them catch ya
cause all they wanna do is bite
They’re a-munching and a-chomping
they’re a-lurching and a-stomping
and they can really ruin your days
Keep on running
look who’s coming
Zombies from outer space
Interstellar Love
(Hiss)
On a planet in the inner Milky Way
there's a girl that I think of night and day.
She is pretty, green and tiny
and her hair is blue and shiny.
How I wish I could fly there and stay.
I still see the face of my love in outer space
and I count the days till I see her again.
Interstellar love is what I'm dreaming of,
the only thing that can ease my pain.
In a spaceship defying gravity
came a stranger and he took my heart from me.
How I wanted him to stay
but my dad sent him away,
said our family never would agree.
I still see the face of my love from outer space
and I count the days till I see him again.
Interstellar love is what I'm dreaming of,
it's the only thing that can ease my pain.
Rumba In A Rocket
(Hiss)
We did the line dance in a redneck bar
we danced, we flirted and we kissed
I asked her, baby, what’s a woman like you
doin’ on a planet like this
Let’s rumba in my rocket
and dance in zero gravity
let’s rumba in my rocket
space is the place for you and me
I did the tango on Titan
I did the mambo on the Moon
I did the jitterbug on Jupiter
but there’s a dance I wann show you soon
It’s the rumba in my rocket
a dance in zero gravity
let’s rumba in my rocket
space is the place for you and me
They do the pony on Pluto
the mashed potatoes on Mars
the do the monkey on Mercury
but the coolest dance under the stars
That’s the rumba in my rocket
a dance in zero gravity
let’s rumba in my rocket
space is the place for you and me
The Final Frontier
(Hiss)
As a kid I would often look up to the sky
on nights that where cloudless and clear
an I dreamed of a wild and adventurous life
out there on the final frontier
When they finally sent a space ship out there
I was one of the first volunteers
and I've never regretted for a moment I swear
that I went to the final frontier
Ref.:
Years of exploring in places so foreign
that's the life of a space pioneer
you see alien nations, new civilizations
out on the final drontier
There are chances and prospects too good to ignore
so forget all your doubts and your fear
and boldly go where no man's gone before
out to the final frontier
Ref.

Space Rangers
(Hiss)
This galaxy used to be a godforsaken place
full of violence, injustice and danger
there were outlaws and monsters and thugs from outer space
with no one there to fight them but us rangers
Space Rangers, Space Rangers
we are on duty night and day
Space Rangers, Space Rangers
bring law and order to the Milky Way
When space pirates attack or hostile aliens start a fight
grab your hyper phone and dial 911
we‘ll be coming to your rescue at velocity of light
with a heart of gold and a laser gun
Space Rangers, Space Rangers
we are on Duty night and day
Space Rangers, Space Rangers
bring law and order to the Milky Way
Space Rangers, Space Rangers
hunting down the thugs from outer space
Space Rangers, Space Rangers
we make this galaxy a safer place
Vaquero Sideral
(Hiss)
Me gusta vagar por las galaxias
en mi caballo de metal
sin límite y sin fronteras
como un vaquero sideral
Lejos de la tierra y la gente
y su vida superficial
busco la paz y el silencio
como un vaquero sideral
Hallo estrellas y planetas
en este vuelo espacial
exploro asteroides y cometas
como un vaquero sideral
Lejos de humanos y sus locuras
y la vida tan brutal
busco la suerte y aventuras
como un vaquero sideral
Three Billion Miles From The Sun
(Hiss)
I see Mars through my window
16 hours after I‘ve gone
in vain she‘ll be waiting
I‘m 140 million miles from the sun
I left a note on the pillow
regrets I‘m having none
this I realize close to Jupiter
half a billion miles from the sun
I pass the silver rings of Saturn
on the 5th day of my run
I know someday I‘ll forget her
I‘m 900 million miles from the sun
I shed a tear near Uranus
but close to Neptune I‘m having fun
I‘m a whistling, I‘m a singing
3 billion miles from the sun
3 billion miles from the sun

Surfing on the Río Grande
(Hiss)
From sunup to sundown we’re riding these plains
It’s hot in the valley and seldom it rains
And when we’ve had enough of the heat and the sand
We go surfing on the Río Grande
We’ve been to Hanalei and Uluwatu,
to Montañita Beach and Lima, Peru
But once you’ve been to Texas, then you’ll understand
There’s nothing like surfing on the Río Grande
Río Grande, Río Grande
The wind cries again and again Río Grande
Río Grande, Río Grande
The wind cries again and again Río Grande
So put on your Stetson and whistle this song
Ride down to El Paso, take your surfboard along
And when you’ve reached the river, you have made it my friend
You’ll be surfing on the Río Grande
You’ll be surfing on the Río Grande
Barn dance bop
(Hiss)
If you wanna have a ball, and stay out late
there‘s nothing like a barn dance in the lone star state
do the barn dance bop, the barn dance bop
swing and sway and skip and hop
and do the barn dance bop
The beer is cold and the music‘s hot
the cowgirls are dancing, they show what they got
they do the barn dance bop, the barn dance bop
they swing and sway and skip and hop
they do the barn dance bop
The band plays the boogie, they do it with style
they‘re rockin‘ and boppin‘, drivin‘ everybody wild
they play the barn dance bop,the barn dance bop
they strum and squeeze and never stop
they play the barn dance bop
The cowboys are drinking, they‘re havin‘ their fun,
they‘re cussing and fightin‘ and shootin‘ their guns
They do the barn dance bop, the barn dance bop
they drink and dance until they drop
they do the barn dance bop
Now it‘s early in the morning, everybody‘s tired
let‘s call in the dogs and piss on the fire
that was the barn dance bop....
Meltdown
(Hiss)
Meltdown!
Meltdown!
Meltdown!
Chrysler 300
(Hiss)
I could have gone to the zoo with Emmy-Lou
To the movies with a lady named Laureen
I could have gone to the beaches with a girl named Peaches
I could have had dinner with Arlene
I could have done all that
But all I wanted was cruising with you
In my Chrysler 300.
I could have ridden with Gwyneth in her 65 Plymouth
With Lisa in her Oldsmobile
I could have ridden with Della in her ivory Impala
With Carla in her Coupé DeVille
I could have done all that
But all I wanted was cruising with you
In my Chrysler 300.
Now the motor is running and Baby looks so stunning
Sitting in my passenger seat
The radio is blaring and everybody’s staring
As we are cruising down the street
I like it like that
Cause all I wanted was cruising with you
Cruising with you
Cruising with you in my Chrysler 300
Licuado de mamey
(Hiss)
Me gusta tomar el chinguirito
y también el pulque de maguey
pero mi brebaje preferido
se llama licuado de mamey
Licuado de mamey, licuado de mamey
Licuado de mamey, licuado de mamey
Te hace poderoso
y te sientes como un rey
es saludable y delicioso
el licuado de mamey
Licuado de mamey, licuado de mamey
Licuado de mamey, licuado de mamey
Tomo siempre lo que quiero
y mi palabra es la ley
Pues invierten su dinero
en licuado de mamey
Licuado de mamey, licuado de mamey
Licuado de mamey, licuado de mamey
De Habana a Santiago
de Mérida a Monterrey
toda la gente quiere un trago
de licuado de mamey
Licuado de mamey, licuado de mamey
Licuado de mamey, licuado de mamey

El canoero
(Traditional)
Yo soy el canoero que rema y rema, que rema y rema
Yo soy el canoero que rema y rema, que rema y rema
Buscando la más linda que es mi morena
La busco para darle cositas buenas
Yo salgo del río sin luz y sigo por el sancoyo
Mirando de playa en playa todas las huellas que dejas tú
Mirando de playa en playa todas las huellas que dejas tú
Me deslizo por el sausa y por suerte el magdalena
Llego al boca del cenizo y no encuentro a mi morena
Llego al boca del cenizo y no encuentro a mi morena
Playera playera
¿Por qué es que te vas?
¿Con quién tú te vas?
¿Y dónde te vas?
Este pobre canoero se va a matar
Yo soy el canoero que rema y rema, que rema y rema
Yo soy el canoero que rema y rema, que rema y rema
Buscando la más linda que es mi morena
La busco para darle cositas buenas
Yo salgo del río sin luz y sigo por el sancoyo
Mirando de playa en playa todas las huellas que dejas tú
Mirando de playa en playa todas las huellas que dejas tú
Yo diviso en alta mar, la espuma de aquel barco
Seguro que se me lleva la mujercita que quiero tanto
Seguro que se me lleva la mujercita que quiero tanto
Playera playera
¿A dónde tú vas?
¿Por qué es que te vas?
¿Con quién tú te vas?
Este pobre canoero se va a matar
Blue in Hawaii
(Hiss)
I'm watching the sea
here in Waikiki
I'm frustrated.
There's no cloud in the sky
but there's tears in my eyes.
The birds in the trees
sing a sweet melody
and I hate it.
Here's the reason I cry
she left me blue in Hawaii
Ref.:
She winked and said Aloha
come on and let us go out to the sea
there she danced the Hula
and then she made a fool out of me
So stranger take my advice
don't come to this paradise
and its ladies
they'll make you will suffer and cry
and leave you blue in Hawaii.
Ref. ...
You will suffer and cry
and be you blue in Hawaii.
Twisting in the Taiga
(Hiss)
Listen, comrade, let me sing you a song
about a land up north where the winter is long
about the bear and the wolf and the siberian tiger
the evenings when everyone is twisting in the taiga.
We work all day on the frozen soil
searching for diamonds and the gas and the oil
when the day is done somebody grabs a balalaika
then we're drinking, we are singing, we are twisting in the taiga.
Some like silver, some like gold
some like it hot and some like it cold
some like Australia and some like Jamaika
I like it here 'cause I like twisting in the taiga.
Baila pendejo
(Ojeda, Hiss)
It was la noche de noches
in the bar "El Tropical"
Near the town of Los Mochis
where I met this brown eyed girl.
She was the pretties muchacha
that I had ever met.
I asked her if she liked to Chacha
and this is what she said:
Ref.:
Baila, baila, baila pendejo
baila y goza ya
baila, baila, baila pendejo
baila el cha cha chá
I searched the bars and the cantinas
and every night I'm sitting here
No one I asked has ever seen her
it seems she simply disappeared.
I'm thinking of the night I've met her
as I lay sleepless in my bed
I know I never will forget her
and the words she gently said.
Ref. ...
