Nosotros dos

but this thing I always forget...

I know a guy that's got a lot to lose!
he's a pretty nice fellow;
kinda confused.
Got muscles in his head;
ain't never been used,
thinks he own half of this town.
Starts drinking heavy
gets a big red nose!
beats his old lady
with a, rubber hose!
then he takes her out to dinner
buys her new clothes.
that's the way that the world goes 'round.
That's the way that the world goes 'round!
you're up one day,
the next you're down!
it's half an inch of water
and you think you're gonna drown
that's the way that the world goes 'round.
I was sitting in the bathtub;
counting my toes!
when the radiator broke;
water all froze.
I got stuck in the icem
without my clothes,
naked as the eyes of a clown.
I was crying ice cubesm
hoping I'd croakm
when the sun come through the window,
the ice all broke!
I stood up and laughed,
thought it was a joke
that's the way that the world goes 'round.

He visto los rostros hambrientos
deshacerse en gestos dolorosos,
en calles hediondas.
He visto la codicia del adicto
desesperadamente buscando una dosis más.
He visto amanecer en la montaña,
y pequeños arco iris fugaces cuando las olas
rompían en la playa.
He visto la estupidez disfrazada de elegancia.
He visto a una niña intentando extraer agua
de una bomba, colgada de la palanca, corriendo luego
para beber un poco.
He visto la servidumbre de los mediocres.
He visto la angustia de la prostituta,
y la indiferencia de su cliente.
He visto a las hordas gritando
por un poco de dinero, o mucho,
que algún banco dejó de pagarles.
He visto al soldado que jamás volverá a sonreir
después de haber dado muerte a un ser humano.
He visto el atardecer en el cielo, sobre el río,
rodeado de nubes y pájaros.
He visto la oscuridad del océano
comenzando a disiparse por el Este
mientras África se convertía en una línea dorada
en el curvado horizonte de la tierra.
He visto la luz, he visto lo oscuro.
He visto las cumbres, alguna vez he estado allí.
He visto las profundidades también.
Pero hace cuatro meses
que no veo su sonrisa.
Y es como si no hubiera vuelto a ver nada
desde entonces.

Este blog se creó para honrar un amor.
Luego vino el fin de ese amor (no de mi parte!), y se dedicó a procesar el dolor del fin.
Ahora, han pasado unos meses desde aquella vez. Pasó algo del dolor.
Pasó tiempo.
Pasó agua bajo el puente, y muchas otras cosas también pasaron.
Si alguien lee estas líneas, sepa que dentro de unos días este blog será borrado. Quien desee guardar algo de lo que aquí se ha escrito o compartido, hágalo ahora.

Eso es todo

All the snow has turned to water,
Christmas days have come and gone.
Broken toys and faded colours are all that's left to linger on.
I hate graveyards and old oawn shops,
For they always bring me tears.
I can't forgive the way they robbed me of my childhood souvenirs.

Memories, they can't be boughten.
They can't be won at carnivals for free.
Well it took me years to get those souvenirs,
And i don't know how they slipped away from me.

Broken hearts and dirty windows
Make life difficult to see.
That's why last night and this morning
Always look the same to me.
And I hate reading old love letters
For they always bring me tears.
I can't forget the way they robbed me,
Of my sweetheart's souvenirs.

Memories they can't be boughten,
They can't be won at carnivals for free.
Well it took me years to get those souvenirs
And i don't know how they slipped away from me.

We were standing
Standing by peaceful waters
Standing by peaceful waters
Whoa wah oh wha oh
Many years ago along the Illinois
Wisconsin border
There was this Indian tribe
They found two babies in the woods
White babies
One of them was named Elizabeth
She was the fairer of the two
While the smaller and more fragile one was
Named Marie
Having never seen white girls before
And living on the two lakes known as
The Twin Lakes
They named the larger and more
Beautiful lake Lake Elizabeth
And thus the smaller lake that was hidden
From the Highway
Became known forever as Lake Marie

We were standing
Standing by peaceful waters
Standing by peaceful waters
Whoa wah oh wha oh

Many years later I found myself talking
To this girl
Who was standing there with her back
Turned to Lake Marie
The wind was blowing especially through
Her hair
There was four Italian sausages cooking
On the outdoor grill
And they were sizzlin'
Many years later we found ourselves in Canada
Trying to save our marriage
And perhaps catch a few fish
Whatever came first
That night she fell asleep in my arms
Humming the tune to "Louie Louie"
Aah baby, we gotta go now

We were standing
Standing by peaceful waters
Standing by peaceful waters
Whoa wah oh wha oh

The dogs were barking as the cars were
Parking
The loan sharks were sharking
The narcs were narcing
Practically everyone was there
In the parking lot by the forest preserve
The police had found two bodies
Nay, naked bodies
Their faces had been horribly disfigured
By some sharp object
Saw it on the news
The TV news
In a black and white video
Do you know what blood looks like
In a black and white video?
Shadows, shadows
That's what it looks like
All the love we shared between her
And me was slammed
Slammed up against the banks of old Lake Marie
Marie

We were standing
Standing by peaceful waters
Standing by peaceful waters
Whoa wah oh wha oh
Whoa wah oh wha oh
Whoa wah oh wha oh
Peaceful waters
Standing by peaceful waters
Aah baby, we gotta go now

He remarcado algunas cosas para que ella entienda...nos conocimos y pasamos muchas horas "junto a las aguas tranquilas", después, el amor que compartimos quedó deshecho contra la ribera del Lago...ella sabrá entender...
