Grateful Dead: Dire Wolf

Grateful Dead: aquí huele a muerto.

   Se puso muy agresivo, tanto que tuve que sacar las garras. Entre garrazo y garrazo le dije: "menos lobos, caperuzita...". Eso pasa por rodearte de fieras salvajes, nunca calculas bien el ataque; jamás el acecho.

In the timbers of Fennario
the wolves are running round
The winter was so hard and cold
froze ten feet neath the ground

Don't murder me
I beg of you don't murder me
Please
don't murder me

I sat down to my supper
T'was a bottle of red whiskey
I said my prayers and went to bed
That's the last they saw of me

Don't murder me
I beg of you don't murder me
Please
don't murder me

When I awoke, the Dire Wolf
Six hundred pounds of sin
Was grinnin at my window
All I said was "come on in"

Don't murder me
I beg of you don't murder me
Please
don't murder me

The wolf came in, I got my cards
We sat down for a game
I cut my deck to the Queen of Spades
but the cards were all the same

Don't murder me
I beg of you don't murder me
Please
don't murder me

In the backwash of Fennario
The black and bloody mire
The Dire Wolf collects his due
while the boys sing round the fire

Don't murder me
I beg of you don't murder me
Please
don't murder me

Cocteau Twins: cerezas de temporada.

  Los cerezos abrieron sus ramas y pintaron el paisaje de un blanco frutal. La tierra es cambiante, siempre para mejor.

Beetles and eggs and blues and pour a little everything else
You steam our unstable eyes and glass
Not get passed off through my bird lips as good news
Still we can find our love down from behind
Down far behind this fabulous, my turn rules
Beetles and eggs and blues and bells and eggs and then blues
Beetles and eggs and blues and pour a little everything else
You steam our unstable eyes and glass
Not get passed off through my bird lips as good news
You'll have the hardest black and dullest knife
We hanged your pass and start being as you in ecstasty
Still being cried and laughed at before
Should I be sewn in hugged I can by not saying
Still being cried and laughed at from light to blue
And should I be hugged and tugged down through this tiger's masque
And should I be sung and unbroken by not saying
You mind not saying
He'll have the hardest black and dullest ignite
Still being cried and laughed at from behind me, from gains
We hanged your pass and star being as you in ecstasy
Still being cried and laughed at from behind me, from gains
Should I be sung and unbroken by not saying
Still being cried and laughed at from behind me, from gains
Hugged and tugged down through this tiger's masque for key

Anne Briggs: The Time Has Come

Anne Briggs: cigarro y campiña.

   Su hora llegó y no estaba preparada. Sacó un cigarro, puso el vídeo y su alrededor se volvió negro. Era de noche, cerró los ojos y se despidió. Ahora ya no está.

Oh, my babe, don't you know
The time has come for me to go.
Tomorrow comes like yesterday
The autumn fades our love away.

Oh, my babe, don't you know
The time has come for me to go.
Don't you think of me no more?
I'm going to some foreign shore.

When I'm there maybe I'll find
Some other young man pleasing to my mind.
Oh, my babe, why don't you know
The time has come for me to go.
Tomorrow comes like yesterday
The autumn fades our love away.

Van Morrison: Starting A New Life

Van Morrison: el león petirrojo.

    Era un jovenzuelo con ganas de escapar, salir disparado hacia otro lugar. Aquel trabajo de aprendiz era un auténtico rollazo. A veces cerraba los ojos e imaginaba mi caminar animado y travieso, sin rumbo y con ganas de descubrir la luz tras la maleza. Siempre me repetía: "El día que me plante, ya verás... "

When I hear that robin sing
Well I know it's coming on spring
Ooo-we and we're starting a new life

I've been shoveling the snow away
Working hard for my pay
All I gotta say is we're starting a new life

We're gonna move
Way on down the line
Girl, we been standing
In one place for too long a time

When I hear that robin song
Well, I know it won't be long
Frank, I know we belong
And we're starting a new life

We gonna move, move way on down the line
Girl, we been standing
In one place for too long a time
When, when, when I hear that robin's song
Well, I know it won't be long
Find out where we belong
And we're starting a new life
And we're starting a new life
And we're starting a new life
And we're starting a new life
