sestra_kerryСлушала песни в исполнении Соласов, пошуршала в сети на предмет текстов и оказалось, что одна из их песен написана Вуди Гатри. Вот эта:
Pastures Of Plenty
It's a mighty hard row that my poor hands have hoed
My poor feet have traveled a hot dusty road
Out of your Dust Bowl and Westward we rolled
And your deserts were hot and your mountains were cold
I worked in your orchards of peaches and prunes
I slept on the ground in the light of the moon
On the edge of the city you'll see us and then
We come with the dust and we go with the wind
California, Arizona, I harvest your crops
Well its North up to Oregon to gather your hops
Dig the beets from your ground, cut the grapes from your vine
To set on your table your light sparkling wine
Green pastures of plenty from dry desert ground
From the Grand Coulee Dam where the waters run down
Every state in the Union us migrants have been
We'll work in this fight and we'll fight till we win
It's always we rambled, that river and I
All along your green valley, I will work till I die
My land I'll defend with my life if it be
Cause my pastures of plenty must always be free

А другая - авторства (кого бы вы думали?) Ника Дрейка :)
Clothes of sand
Who has dressed you in strange clothes of sand?
Who has taken you far from my land?
Who has said that my sayings were wrong?
And who will say that I stayed much too long?
Clothes of sand have covered your face
Given you meaning but taken my place
So make your way on down to the sea
Something has taken you so far from me
Does it now seem worth all the color of skies
To see the earth through painted eyes
To look through panes of shaded glass
See the stains of winter's grass?
Can you now return to from where you came
Try to burn your changing name
Or with silver spoons and coloured light?
Will you worship moons in winter's night?
Clothes of sand have covered your face
Given you meaning but taken my place
So make your way on down to the sea
Something has taken you so far from me...

Впрочем, мне очень нравится и оригинал, и версия той же песни группы Deanta: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I27i_-mWBHw&feature=related
