Many thanks!!!
Someone posted about the lyrics so I tried to get some of them from the songs that play during the movie⌠not one hundred per cent correct⌠English is not my first language and the male singer has some strong accent. Thatâs 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
No⌠Keoma⌠Oh NoâŚ
Donât go on, my boyâŚ
Donât 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 feel⌠now
You cannot do it for yourself
Itâs not true
Try and turn the world the other way.
You canât 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)
Youâve done even more than you could do, boy
Male voice: (Once more and Iâm not a coward now)
Stop your fighting and find, find your place now
Male voice: (I have love to give but�??..)
When there is no way to end your mistakes
Male voice: (Iâve been livingâŚ??..)
Do you remember that I saved you once a time?
But I canât help this time if you donât stop
I donât want, I donât want now to take your life away⌠no⌠I wonât this timeâŚ
Male voice:
What is in me that canât 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
Thatâs the moment when your ego is satisfied
No, thatâs not right. No, thatâs not right.
Ainât no good to kill, ainât no good to cry. Ainât no good to Save.
Ainât no good to try to save a woman who is gonna die in pain and âŚ?..
A woman that ⌠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 wonât 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 sheâs not there. They came and took her far away
And your friend tried to �.. He was alone they were a lot. Nowhere to go
No what to say, you try to save her once again, Keoma.
Now youâre riding to the ? where the zombies are walking slowly and
asking when will I die, when will he ?. Will he ? for me.
Donât you know they are gonna kill her now? Maybe theyâve already done it. So why donât you go
Itâs too late, boy. Itâs to late, boy.
(this next sentence I didnât catch anything, just random words)
? crazy way ? âŚnot 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. Sheâs here besides me and sheâs quiet now. Yes sheâs quite now
yes sheâs⌠(Female voice) quiet and youâŚ
What you think youâve doneâŚ
Female and male:
She reminds me of my mom style. Sheâs so beautiful and kind⌠and in her eyes⌠thereâs the answerâŚ
Yes, the answer⌠to my lifeâŚ
To my life.
After he fights his brothers
Thereâs 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 itâs time to run away from here, oh boy.
in this land youâll find âŚ?..
Now youâve got your fatherâs love and youâre 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, Iâm 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, youâre thereâŚ
Waiting for, who will take me away.
Feeling inside, Iâm turning cold
Something asks me why
Why youâre here now
With will to kill.
When they get his father
You can see how far youâve got you now
With your blood thirst for justice, how far you got
Arenât you sorry? Arenât you sorry?
Now you mourn your pa
Now you mourn your pa
Now you mourn your life
Now you will pay for what youâve done
and whatâs 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
Thatâs 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 boy⌠KeomaâŚ
Male voice:
Now that Iâve 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 donât care whatâs gonna happen
You can take me I wanna die
Wanna die
Wanna die
Wanna die
Female:
Itâs so hard that you accept that
Whatâs your use in this world, against your own
Itâs so hard
Yes itâs so hard,
Itâs hard my boy
(wanna die)
When the brothers show the body to Keoma
Now I want you here my black lady
Donât this time.
Come (?) take my life, donât take his (?)
I want to reach my father
Donât wanna stay in this world
Well, are you⌠take me to
Wanna die
I donât care, I donât 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 youâre running to the town to set him free.
Itâs your turn now⌠to save Keoma
Got a chance now
To save Keoma
Got a chance now
To save Keoma
And you know itâs 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?
Donât you feel youâve done it all
Donât 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 couldnât 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 itâs 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 didnât 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. Itâs 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 Iâll 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 Iâll have to do it now when Iâm 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 Iâve ever heard. Just when you think it doesnât 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 Mannajaâs main theme.
Itâs 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 directorâs 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 itâs his personal favourite from his career.
Itâs 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.
Itâs not Guide de Angelis itâs Guy.
Iâm quoting Tom Betts here:
GUY (Cesare De Natale) [1/8/1943, Florence, Tuscany, Italy - ] â composer, lyricist, member of âHollipopsâ, duet âSybil and Guyâ (aka âSusan and Guy), also the group âDandylionâ, married to singer Susan Duncan Smith (1987- ).
