This is the original version of Jet Airliner. The song was made famous by Steve Miller Band after he received an unreleased copy of Paul's album New Train. Due to problems with famous manager Albert Grossman, Paul Pena's phenomenal album New Train didn't get released for almost 30 years. It's a truly amazing work of art. While Steve Millers version is fantastic and a great cover, Paul's original version is out of this world. It's a very deep and heartfelt song. Paul, who was completely blind by the age of 20, sings of his experience on an airplane trip from Boston to Montreal to play the first-ever date with T-Bone Walker's band. Most of Paul's income came from the royalties for writing this great song. He later was the focal point of the award winning documentary "Genghis Blues." Sadly, Paul passed away in 2005 after a long bout with Pancreatitis. I highly suggest everyone pick up a copy of New Train if you can: itunes.apple.com www.amazon.com. + Informações

From the album Kongar-ol Ondar & Paul Pena - Genghis Blues Lyrics: Tras d'orizao teng terra, teng terra long' teng mar i seu. Na mar i seu teng Jar Brava, Jar Brava'nya terra, terra'd'nya cre cheu. [Repeat verse] Beyond the horizon, there is a land, sea, and sky. In the sea and sky is Jar Brava, Jar Brava is my land and the land of my sweetheart. [Bridge:] Mos, bo ke nya'mig mand'es cartinya, O bu ta lebal pa nya cre cheu? Ora k(i)bu chiga'la bu ta fram'el, Ki m ta sinti sodadi lonji. Dor di pashao m teng amor di bai Cabo Verd'. [Repeat bridge] Oh, young man, my friend, take this letter for me, Please you will take it to my darling? When you get there tell her for me, That I feel great home sickness (longing), And pain, and passion; I long to return to Cabo Verde.
