101 min is correct.
Many thanks!!!
Someone posted about the lyrics so I tried to get some of them from the songs that play during the movieā¦ not one hundred per cent correctā¦ English is not my first language and the male singer has some strong accent. Thatās all I could catch so far.
The main theme*:
You are searching just for what you are
And you go from town to town
To find yourself
Noā¦ Keomaā¦ Oh Noā¦
Donāt go on, my boyā¦
Donāt Keoma, no(3x)
And when you find that love has gone away
The world is crumbling down
Around you Walk around your
Tears have no right to cry
The pain you see
The pain you feel
The wrong you do
The hurt you feelā¦ now
You cannot do it for yourself
Itās not true
Try and turn the world the other way.
You canāt think of being the one man
Who has got the only right to live.
Now you have done already what you should have
Male voice: (? be and I must work on and on)
Youāve done even more than you could do, boy
Male voice: (Once more and Iām not a coward now)
Stop your fighting and find, find your place now
Male voice: (I have love to give butā¦???..)
When there is no way to end your mistakes
Male voice: (Iāve been livingā¦??..)
Do you remember that I saved you once a time?
But I canāt help this time if you donāt stop
I donāt want, I donāt want now to take your life awayā¦ noā¦ I wonāt this timeā¦
Male voice:
What is in me that canāt stop to follow those
Who destroyed the life of the one I love
What is war and I know the man who can live to fight and like it
I want peace, I want love
I want peace, I want love.
The part That Keoma saves Lisa after the bandits kill her husband:
When the laughter turn to desperate cry
Thatās the moment when your ego is satisfied
No, thatās not right. No, thatās not right.
Aināt no good to kill, aināt no good to cry. Aināt no good to Save.
Aināt no good to try to save a woman who is gonna die in pain and ā¦?..
A woman that ā¦ has(?) a life inside herself already alive
That you can take, that you can save without a goal to keep her heart warm.
In this town you wonāt find pity anywhere.
Everyone will want your hide, boy
And everyone will want her life, every time, every night.
When Keoma visits his father and the bandits take the woman to the mine and he goes to save her again:
You came back and sheās not there. They came and took her far away
And your friend tried to ā¦?.. He was alone they were a lot. Nowhere to go
No what to say, you try to save her once again, Keoma.
Now youāre riding to the ? where the zombies are walking slowly and
asking when will I die, when will he ?. Will he ? for me.
Donāt you know they are gonna kill her now? Maybe theyāve already done it. So why donāt you go
Itās too late, boy. Itās to late, boy.
(this next sentence I didnāt catch anything, just random words)
? crazy way ? ā¦not believe me. Now I tell you just ?_ to take your life
When Keoma saves her and they ride the horse together
Male voice:
Now I went through it and what more do you want from me?
You can see how I was right. Sheās here besides me and sheās quiet now. Yes sheās quite now
yes sheāsā¦ (Female voice) quiet and youā¦
What you think youāve doneā¦
Female and male:
She reminds me of my mom style. Sheās so beautiful and kindā¦ and in her eyesā¦ thereās the answerā¦
Yes, the answerā¦ to my lifeā¦
To my life.
After he fights his brothers
Thereās my father, and my brothers and me.
Tell me now, father, why they hate me so.
Now I wonder why, I am in this mess.
When Keoma runs and hide with his dad*
Now itās time to run away from here, oh boy.
in this land youāll find ā¦?..
Now youāve got your fatherās love and youāre taking her with you
Yes you could, in the end, easy the evil and the pain, run away, run away, run as far as you can.
**** When Keoma duels all those guys****
Yeah, Iām here
In front of these men.
Gun in hand
And waiting for what will be
Back in my mind I see memories
Of bodies on the ground
And you, youāre thereā¦
Waiting for, who will take me away.
Feeling inside, Iām turning cold
Something asks me why
Why youāre here now
With will to kill.
When they get his father
You can see how far youāve got you now
With your blood thirst for justice, how far you got
Arenāt you sorry? Arenāt you sorry?
Now you mourn your pa
Now you mourn your pa
Now you mourn your life
Now you will pay for what youāve done
and whatās wrong
Your dream of building something strong, when in your life you mesh together
love and freedom, justice
And you thought it was possible
to have them all together all your life long
It would be so nice to taste
freedom in each way that you can
it would be so nice to taste freedom, justice, and a bit of love
When you think you reached your goal now
Thatās the moment when you lost
Cause your pa was here at least and always ran to take you.
You must know and you ?
You lost reason, oh boyā¦ Keomaā¦
Male voice:
Now that Iāve seen him on ground
My old man dead with love for my own life
Even my tears are afraid to come to see that body in front of me
Now I donāt care whatās gonna happen
You can take me I wanna die
Wanna die
Wanna die
Wanna die
Female:
Itās so hard that you accept that
Whatās your use in this world, against your own
Itās so hard
Yes itās so hard,
Itās hard my boy
(wanna die)
When the brothers show the body to Keoma
Now I want you here my black lady
Donāt this time.
Come (?) take my life, donāt take his (?)
I want to reach my father
Donāt wanna stay in this world
Well, are youā¦ take me to
Wanna die
I donāt care, I donāt care at all
And perhaps I _?__what I was looking for
But I cannot end it now. Too late.
When Keoma is tied up on the wheel and the woman goes to save him
Eyes for eyes and now is up to you.
As youāre running to the town to set him free.
Itās your turn nowā¦ to save Keoma
Got a chance now
To save Keoma
Got a chance now
To save Keoma
And you know itās coming to an end
And you know how strong the pain you have
And you know that pain is ? love
And you know that suffering is love
Yes, perhaps the ? and ?
The source of pain, the source of love
And you Keoma, you my boy
You wanna die or you wanna live?
Donāt you feel youāve done it all
Donāt you feel the time has come to love.
And then when the movie ends they play the main theme again.
If someone wants to correct this and;or complete the parts I couldnāt that would be great.

Welcome to the forum btw 
Thanks for your efforts Rheumatic. I remember I tried to decipher the lyrics of the mannaja soundtrack and it was like pulling teeth lol.
Wow this is an interesting thread. Took me a long time to read it all. I just wanted to say I love the movie and the soundtrack. The music is weird and a little cheesy, but itās one of the richest and most unique soundtracks. Keoma rocks! (in a very dark and disturbing way).
I re-watched Keoma yesterday, it was the second time I watched this one. Previously I didnāt really like the soundtrack because it almost felt comical to me, but surprisingly this time even the soundtrack felt better and like an integral part of the story to me. Itās the great and almost dreamlike atmosphere what makes Keoma stand out from the generic Spaghetti Westerns. Still I have to say that even this time the plot dragged a little bit, and that could be the only weak point of Keoma in my opinion. All in all this late Spaghetti Western felt better to me on a second viewing, last time I gave about 3/5 stars but now Iāll have to give this 4 out of 5 stars.
Re-watching Keoma made me think about watching Jonathan of Bears for the first time, I guess Iāll have to do it now when Iām in the right kind of mood for these movies.
I forgot how brilliant Keoma was. Just finished watching it.

The theme song is one of the weirdest songs Iāve ever heard. Just when you think it doesnāt get any weirder, it does.
I hated it at first but it grew on me. I like it a lot now but not as much as Mannajaās main theme.
Itās just so strange to me, that I do kind of like it.
I know exactly what you mean. It sounds like Kate Bush and Arnold Schwarzenegger teaming up to sing Leonard Cohen songs.

I described it more as Yoko Ono singing Tiny Tim and accompanied by a Dalek doing Tuvan throat singing.

The soundtrack grew on me over time. Along with The Big Gundown, Keoma is actually my favourite non-Leone spaghetti.

A fine late SW with its enjoyable sing-a-long soundtrack and Peckinpah style slo-mo. This shares some of the supporting players with the directorās The Heroin Busters but I did not spot Domenico Cianfriglia or recognize Angelo Ragusa.

I love this film more every time I watch it. And I remember Nero said itās his personal favourite from his career.
Itās good. The characters and story structure are all interesting. There are possible supernatural elements which make it soundtrack. It has the same downbeat tone as Django but has a passionate soul. And of course it has a singer named Guy doing his best Terminator impression.
