Keoma (Enzo G. Castellari, 1976)

Too bad Keoma didnā€™t become a franchise character the way Django, Sartana, and Trinity did. Maybe someone should write a new western and throw Keoma in there for shits and giggles.

Keoma at the Barber Shop could become a winner.
All filmed in endless slo mo by Enzo with some JC references. Featuring Piero Lulli or Luigi Pistilli as the barber.

I could really see Keoma as a time-traveling bounty hunter.

ONE MAN
LOST IN TIME
FORCED INTO BECOMING A TIME HOPPING BOUNTY HUNTER BY A FUTURE RACE
HE MUST KILL TO GET BACK

Now thats an Idea!

This is my most favorite spaghetti western movie. It is the most creative in term of camera views and sound tracks. I first watched it in the Philippines around 1979, the music still ring in my memory till today. Now I have bought a DVD and watch this movie many times without boring.

Iā€™m searching for the lyrics of the title song, if anyone have it please post it here. Iā€™ll will be in dept gratitude.

Check the comments, there are several text blocks with lyrics (donā€™t know if theyā€™re right, some parts are really hard to decypher because of the extreme high or extrem low singeing voice)

3.5 stars for the movie until the last five minutes
1 star for the last five minutes

Thanks, I found some parts of it in some youtubeā€™s postings. I tried to put them together below with some part I deciphered it myself. I hope someone with English tongue can fill in the missing parts and correct my mistakes.

[size=12pt]KEOMA Lyrics[/size]

ā€œArenā€™t you tired of killing?ā€
ā€œI have to survive.ā€

(Woman)
You are searching
Just for what you are
And you go from town to town
To find yourself
No, Its hell now, Oh Noā€¦
Donā€™t go on, my boy

No, Keoma, No
Donā€™t Keoma, No
No, Keoma, No

And when you find
The love has gone away
The world is crumbling down
Around you walk
Around You tears
You have no right to cry
The pain you see
The pain you feel
The wrong you do
The hurt you feel
Nowwwwā€¦youuu

You can not do it
By yourself
its not to try out
Turn to what beyond the way
You can think of things ways are not ā€¦???
ā€¦
ā€¦

Now you have done already
of what you should have
(ā€¦ (man)ā€¦)
Youā€™ve done even more than you could do, boy
Stop your fighting and find
and find your place now

When there is no way to end your mistakes
Do you remember that I saved you once a time
But I canā€™t help this time if you donā€™t stop
I donā€™t want, I donā€™t want, now to take your life away, No
I wonā€™t this time

(Man)
What it means I canā€™t stop to follow
Those who destroyed the life of the one I love
What is war and I know a man ā€¦???
who can live defied and ā€¦(knocked off ?) ā€¦???
I want peace
I want loveā€¦

I want peaceā€¦
I want loveā€¦
I want loveā€¦

++++++++++++++++

[size=14pt]Keoma Duel[/size]

Yah, Iā€™m here
In front of, these men
Gun in hand
And waiting for what will be
But came my mind, seems memory
Our god is all the ground
And you, you 're there
Waiting for, who you take, away
In this side, Iā€™m tainting ā€¦ ???
Something asked, me why
Why you are here, now
With the will, to kill

+++++++++++++
[size=14pt]Keoma[/size]

You can see how far you got til now
with your bloody thirst of justice
how far youā€™ve got arenā€™t you sorry
arenā€™t you sorry
now you moan your part
now you moan your part
now you moan your life

ā€œNo, No Keoma, Noā€

You can see how far you got til now
with your bloody thirst of justice
how far youā€™ve got arenā€™t you sorry
arenā€™t you sorry
now you moan your part
now you moan your part
now you moan your life

Now pay for what youā€™ve done
And what is wrong
your dream of building something strong
when in your life you mesh together
love and freedom, justice
you thought it was possible
to have them all together all your life long

Your dream of building something strong
when in your life you mesh together
love and freedom, justice you thought it
was possible to have them all together all your life long

ā€¦
It would be so nice to take
freedom in each way that you can
it would be so nice to take freedom, justice, and a bit of love
When you think you reach your goal now
Thatā€™s the moment when you go
or which way to take you
you must know when you destroyed
you must dream, oh boy oh boy Keoma ą¹€

(this part may have a lot of mistake, please help correcting it)
Now that I ā€˜ve seen how ā€¦ ground my old man ā€¦die ā€¦ my own life
even martyrs are regret to come to see that body ā€¦ me
now i donā€™t care whatā€™s gonnā€™a happen
you canā€™t take me when Iā€™m die
when Iā€™m die
when Iā€™m die
when Iā€™m die

Judging by the lyrics, not exactly the most upbeat, optimistic song lol.

Youā€™re missing ā€œwhen the laughter turns to desperate criesā€¦ā€.

Itā€™s after heā€™s shotgunned the guards holding the women on the wagon. About 10-15 mins in or so.

i canā€™t stop hear the music again and again

Jebus no, iā€™m guessing you have heard Mrs Ono singing, it sounds exactly like a pig being butchered in a slaughterhouse.

So Iā€™m not alone. I also love this soundtrack. :smiley:

I didnā€™t mind the soundtrack when the woman was singing, it worked for the atmosphere of the movie unlike Fucliā€™s Silver Saddle or Four Of The Apocalypse for example. When the guy started singing though, argh.

I love all those soundtracks, Mannaja includedā€¦ FotA is probably my favourite

The soundtrack keeps me from showings this movie to friends, I think its whats called a ā€œfatal mistakeā€ in an otherwise stellar film. Everytime I hear it I feel I have to put my hands over my head in disbelief and wonder just why you know? It really is one of the worst songs I have ever heard in my life, if it were just the music without vocals this movie would be in my top 10, the camera and gunplay are second to none in the badass dept.

An excellent George Lucas-ing of this movie replacing the soundtrack with a better one from a lesser spag western would be a noble task highly worthy of 50 virgins in the afterlife.

Yeh, something I would like to see.

I know thereā€™s a fanmade dub where somebody replaced the original ost with something else. I havenā€™t seen it so Iā€™ve no idea what music the guy used and if it improved the movie or not, but it should be available for download somewhere. Iā€™ve seen it labeled as ā€œKeoma Remixā€

Yes tried to download a few times, but no seeders.
