Are you talking about the song Oye by Jim Papoulis?
I'LL ASSUME "YES" AND HERE IS A SUGGESTION FOR ACCURATELY OBTAINING THEM:
Jim Papoulis is, w/o exaggeration, one of THE foremost choral composers on the planet. However, partly because a song like "Oye" is in a foreign language, it's harder to get lyrics from Google than it is with more "pop" songs.
By comparison, if you type exactly this into Google's search window:
beyonce + "single ladies" + lyrics
you'll get over 700,000 responses. Not so trying the same thing with "oye" + "jim papoulis" + lyrics.
I think the best way to "get" the lyrics and be 100% SURE they are accurate is to purchase the sheet music. If you visit YouTube.com and enter: oye + "jim papoulis" you will get some uploaded video performances. However, for a more "pure" sound, I'd suggest visiting a site like j.w. pepper where the "Oye" sheet music is sold:
http://www.jwpepper.com/3301378.item
on that site, you can ask for a sample LISTEN to "Oye" and the words are certainly clearer than on youtube. but, personally, I wouldn't trust my (or most people's) ability to transcribe lyrics that way.
Net/net: the site I've just listed -- plus a bunch of other that offer Jim Papoulis sheet music for sale -- THAT seems to me to be the only TRUSTWORTHY source of accurate lyrics for this song. Jim Papoulis would personally have reviewed and approved them.
Source(s):http://www.jwpepper.com/3301378.itemAlright, since that person wasn't too good, I would like to add onto him a bit. However, I know very little of the song but I too would like to learn it. My young people's chorus sang it a year before I joined, and they often sing it to me.
"Oye, can you hear us coming, oye..." I may learn it at choir camp this summer, and if I do, I will update this answer. Thanks. Actually, the first persons answer is helpful. I sang this song in my junior choir for our last concert, and the lyrics are: Esta solo, llorando, en silencio, en la oscuridad Esta sonando, deseando, con esperanza, por la oportunidad Escuchalos, escuchalos, ellos te llman *chorus* Oye, are you listening, oye, can you hear us calling, (oye) we are calling to you Oye, are you listening, oye, can you hear us calling, (oye) can you hear us? *musical interlude* Escuchalos, miralos, escucha, lo que tartan de decir Estan en busquedad, del camino, pequenas voces, lamandote *chorus* -Here there is a section where three different parts sing in harmony. This repeats for a little while- 1) Oye, are you listening, oye, can you hear us? 2) I can hear you calling! I can hear you calling! 3) la, la la la la. La, la la la laaaaa -end of that section- Oye, oye, oye, oye, oye! *chorus* *repeat chorus on new pitch* Oye! Hope this helps! I do suggest purchasing the sheet music, though, because it is hard to figure out how to sing this just by knowing the lyrics!
HI -- IT'S ME AGAIN! Person #1.
I really appreciated Person #2's answer.
So now I'd like to identify myself.
My name is Mike Greenly and I am a lyricist partner of Jim Papoulis. (He has several.) I do NOT know most of Jim's choral works. But he and I have written three choral songs together -- two of which are already published. "How Many Christmases" and "We Can Plant a Forest."
With both of these songs, we share our royalties with non-profit charities. For example, from the "Forest" song, we've shared royalties for every download (iTunes) or sheet music purchase with Trees for the Future ... a wonderful, award-winning global organization that helps reforest planet earth. Jim's and my contributions have helped, already, to plant 20,000 trees in under-developed countries. (But many MILLIONS are needed.) We have a third song in the works which we expect to benefit a medical charity. Oh, and Jim and I have also written songs for Kimberly Davis -- the one already published is called "Get Up" ... it's a dance song, and it made it to #12 on BILLBOARD's Dance Club Chart.
Jim Papoulis is one of THE most talented people I have ever known in my life -- and yet he's a very humble, unassuming guy with a big heart. Songwriting is not my "day job" but it's my passion, and I loved coming across this question in the first place. Sorry for the wordy answer (again!) I couldn't help myself -- I loved the previous person's answer ... someone who knows "Oye" far, far better than I do.
Best wishes to all -- mike greenly
