Anyone interested in writing a modern shine tune
how about a minor chord (more mournful) tune
Any opening lines
eg, lightning flashed across the sky
above the demon jury
your once free souls upon the line
the time is now to worry
Got anything betterÉ (seem to have temporarily lost my question mark)
group shine tune

The Guaro Hymn
Original Spanish words by Hernán Elizondo
Translation by Jim Marshall, San Jose, Costa Rica
White Guaro is my food - my sustenance.
My only desire is to slam it down.
When it passes down my throat, I love knowing how to drink.
Anisette, Colored, Whiskey and Gin are the flavors of Guaro I want to drink.
I want to be drunk and alive; stuck in its embrace.
I prefer a shot to a woman.
Listen to me friend, slam a shot of this witch's blood- it's the best !
(repeated refrain)
Listen to me friend, slam a shot of this witch's blood- it's the best !
Don't think about your mother-in-law or dwell on sad thoughts, because if you're walking drunk you're feeling no pain.
When I fly to the stars I only want to slam shots to live.
And I want them to bury me with 100 bottles because it's from this vice that I wish to die.
(repeated refrain)
When I fly to the stars I only want to slam shots to live.
And I want them to bury me with 100 bottles because it's from this vice that I wish to die.

Moonshine Anthem
Traditional Costarican song - author unknown.
Translation by Jim Marshall, San Jose, Costa Rica
From the sugarcane comes the Guaro.
Caramba ! The cane is a good fruit !
If you crush the cane you can suck the Guaro from it's waters.
El Guaro, you are the one who said you would never forget me.
Come - let's get drunk until the sunrise starts the new day!
(repeated refrain)
El Guaro, you are the one who said you would never forget me.
Come - let's get drunk until the sunrise starts the new day!
Wine - the wine from heaven.
Caramba ! You knock me down, you kill me, you make me crawl on 4 legs like a cat.
Caramba ! But I always soar !
You are the one who told me to drink the firewater.
Caramba ! Cognac is a vain drink, but there is no shot more gallant than a shot of firewater !
You are the one who called me to drink.
(repeated refrain)
Caramba ! Cognac is a vain drink, but there is nothing classier than a shot of firewater !
You are the one who called me to drink.

A Sumerian drinking song
translated from the original Cuniform by University Staff
( originally chisled into a stone tablet about 3000 b.c,
this free translation by Jim Marshall 5000 years later )
The guaro, the guaro vat !
The guaro vat, the lovely vat !
The guaro vat, which puts us in a happy mood !
The lovely vat, which makes the heart rejoice !
The guaro jar, glory of the house !
The guaro jar, filled with drink !
The special jar, which carries the guaro from the guaro vat !
The troughs made with bamboo and the pails for the mash !
All the beautiful vessels stand ready on their pot stands !
May the heart of your god be well disposed towards you !
Let the eye of the guaro vat be our eye, and let the heart of the guaro vat be our heart !
What makes your heart feel wonderful in itself
also makes our hearts feel wonderful in themselves !
We are in a happy mood, our hearts are joyful !
You have poured a libation over the fated brick,
and you have laid the foundations in peace and prosperity --
now may the great goddess dwell within you !
She should pour guaro and wine for you !
Let the pouring of the sweet liquor resound pleasantly for you !
In the troughs made with bamboo, there is sweet guaro.
I will have the cupbearers, the boys and the brewers stand by.
As I spin around the lake of guaro, while feeling wonderful,
feeling wonderful,
while drinking the liquor in a blissful mood,
while drinking alcohol and feeling exhilarated,
with joy in the heart and a contented liver --
my heart is a heart filled with joy !
I clothe my contented liver in a garment fit for a queen !
The heart of the goddess is happy once again;
the heart of the goddess is happy !
