so cold, so sweet, so fair...

went down to the st james infirmary
saw my baby there
she stretched out on a long white table
so cold, so sweet, so fair
Let her go, let her go, god bless her
wherever she may be
she can look this wide world over
but she'll never find a sweet man like me
When i die want you to dress me in straight lace shoes
i wanna a boxback coat and a stetson hat
put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
so the boys'll know that i died standing flat

Yacimos en el abismo y observamos lo profundo...

He sepultado a mi amor en una verde tumba,
hundido en el helecho profundo,
dos halcones volaron arriba ahí,
uno chocó con el otro fuertemente,
y gotas rojas cayeron,
y gotas rojas cayeron.

Hasta que el velo caiga,
hasta que el silencio quiebre,
permanece a mi lado,
por favor no me despiertes.
Hasta que el invierno pase,
hasta que el día claree,
permance a mi lado,
Por favor no me despiertes.
Permance a mi lado
Por favor no me despiertes.

Encontré a mi amor la noche siguiente,
entre los animales del bosque despertó,
dos halcones nos guiaron entre sueños,
Y nos arrebataron de estas profundidades.

Hasta que el velo caiga,
hasta que el silencio rompa,
permanece a mi lado,
por favor no me despiertes.
Hasta que el invierno pase,
hasta que el día empiece,
permance a mi lado,
Por favor no me despiertes,
permanece a mi lado,
por favor no me despiertes,

Hemos permanecido unidos hasta el final de la noche,
hemos sido los mismos espíritus que invocamos,
yacimos en el abismo y observamos lo profundo,
pero las profundidades ya no pueden sujetarnos más.

Hasta que el velo caiga,
hasta que el invierno pase,
hasta que el silencio quiebre,
permanece a mi lado.
Hasta que el velo caiga,
hasta que el invierno pase,
hasta que el silencio cese,
permanece a mi lado.
Hasta que el velo caiga,
hasta que el invierno pase,
hasta que el silencio quiebre,
permanece a mi lado,
Por favor no me despiertes.

La tragedia del egotismo y la fidelidad de los dioses

Yazgo firme sobre estas piedras
aunque el viento sopla fuerte
y arranca la forma de estas ropas.
Albergo las mismas preocupaciones, como siempre,
las tentaciones de huir, o bien rendir a los fantasmas.
Forcejeo con una visión
que alterna oscuridad con tenues luces;
batallo con las palabras por el miedo que producen.
Y Orfeo duerme, permanece muerto al mundo.

Eventualmente la luz solar desciende, mis alas se despliegan enteras.
Hay cierta belleza aquí que no puedo negar,
Y botellas tiradas con mensajes que se han estrellado a mis pies,
¡Tantas personas de las que nunca me preocupé!
Por abajo, entre los restos del naufragio,
una fortaleza de placeres sin arrepentimientos;
los recursos de sobrevivencia tragados todos por la marea.
Pero Orfeo mantiene su promesa y permanece a mi lado.

¡Enséñame, tengo demasiado que aprender!
¡Comprende, estos fuegos no se consumen!
¡Créeme!, cuando esta broma agote su gracia
escucharé a la promesa de Orfeo cantar.

¡Sueña mientras conduzco la barca!
No importa si hay mal tiempo, ya abandoné la esperanza.
Todos los obstáculos que siento en las entrañas
fueron aceite para el fuego, paja para acostarme.
Las voces aún entrañan relatos
sobre las guerras en el cielo y el infierno,
pero me siento seguro ante tan terribles sueños
si Orfeo canta la promesa que traerá mañana.

¡Cuéntame, tengo tanto que escuchar!
¡Comprende, no cesa de arder mi interior!
¡Por favor créeme!, cuando la dicha haya perdido su peso
escucharé de Orfeo la promesa.

Lovage:Sex (I'm A)

(Dan, I need you now!
OK Mikey... come!)

Feel the fire
Feel my love inside you so bright
There's a sound and the smell of love on my mind
I'm a toy
Come and play with me, say work now
Wrap your legs
Around me ride me tonight
Sex, sex, sex

-I'm a man
-I'm a goddess
-I'm a man
-I'm a virgin
-I'm a man
-I'm a blue movie
-I'm a man
-I'm a bitch
-I'm a man
-I'm a geisha
-I'm a man
-I'm a little girl
-I'm a man
--And we'll make love together

( Why does man go to hooker: First of all because he quite often is not all that happy and sexual satisfied at home... His wife won't perform all the activities he has in mind, and most of all, oral sex is a taboo...
The woman would say "what do you think I am, a whore, I don't want to do that!")

Slip and slide when you're where you like to feel the blood flow
Not too fast
Don't be slow my love's in your hands

-I'm a man
-I'm a boy
-I'm a man
-I'm your mother
-I'm a man
-I'm a one night stand
-I'm a man
-I'm a bi
-I'm a man
-I'm your slave
-I'm a man
-I'm a little girl
-I'm a man
--And we'll make love together

(Most of them come to a hooker and say: "My wife oh my wife is she dead in bed!
She's frigid, cold as a starfish!"
They take off the pants and their underpants...
There's nothing more ridiculous than a guy with his party socks on
He dives into the bedroom... He says "do me!", suck it!)

Skin to skin
Honey hold tight
Come inside it's a passion play just for you
Let's get lost in the magic place alone now
Drink your fill from a fountain of love wet your lips
-I'm a man
-I'm a teaser
-I'm a man
-I'm a virgin
-I'm man
-I'm a one night stand
-I'm a man
-I'm a drug
-I'm a man
-I'm your slave
-I'm a man
-I'm a dream to find
-I'm a man
--And we'll make love together

-I'm a man
-I'm a goddess
-I'm a man
-I'm a hooker
-I'm a man
-I'm a blue movie
-I'm a man
-I'm a slut
-I'm a man
-Well I'm your babe
-I'm a man
-I'm a dream to find
-I'm a man
--And we'll make love together...

(Fuckin' piece of shit...
One little two little three little indians...
Suck it firehose)

What keeps me breathing?

I'm going under, I'm suffocating
Drowning but I'm holding on
What keeps me breathing? Don't have an answer
I'm drowning but I won't let go
Away now, no way out
Away now, no way out
I've been a walkin' a lonesome highway
I felt as though I had no home
My bed's been taken by another I made the bed, now lie alone
Keep it away now motherfucker, now keep it away
Keep it away now motherfucker, now keep it away
Away now, no way out
Away now, no way out

Hello, it's late
You know I've tried to stop the rain
Did you read about it?
Did you think about it?
Did you cry but nothing came?
Hello it's late
I know we tried to win the game
Did you hear about it?
Did you dream about it?
I know you cried but nothing changed ?
Nothing matters again
I didn't think it'd last that long
But I'm just sittin' on this merry-go-round,
And the music is too loud
It's just a game
That we used to play
I didn't think we'd
Take it all the way
It kills me just because
It can't be erased -
We're married

In this Twilight

watch the sun
as it crawls across a final time
and it feels like
like it was a friend
if its watching us
and the world we set on fire
do you wonder
if it feels the same?

and the sky is filled with light
can you see it?
all the black is really white
if you believe it
as the time is running out
let me take away your doubt
we can find a better place
in this twilight

dust to dust
ashes in your hair remind me
what it feels like
and i wont feel again
night descends
could i have been a better person?
if i could only
do it all again

but the sky is filled with light
can you see it?
all the black is really white
if you believe it
and the longing that you feel
you know none of this is real
we will find a better place
in this twilight

Wish you were here

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war,
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Song to the Siren

Gates of Eden

BOB DYLAN
Gates of Eden


Of war and peace the truth just twists
Its curfew gull just glides
Upon four-legged forest clouds
The cowboy angel rides
With his candle lit into the sun
Though its glow is waxed in black
All except when 'neath the trees of Eden

The lamppost stands with folded arms
Its iron claws attached
To curbs 'neath holes where babies wail
Though it shadows metal badge
All and all can only fall
With a crashing but meaningless blow
No sound ever comes from the Gates of Eden

The savage soldier sticks his head in sand
And then complains
Unto the shoeless hunter who's gone deaf
But still remains
Upon the beach where hound dogs bay
At ships with tattooed sails
Heading for the Gates of Eden

With a time-rusted compass blade
Aladdin and his lamp
Sits with Utopian hermit monks
Side saddle on the Golden Calf
And on their promises of paradise
You will not hear a laugh
All except inside the Gates of Eden

Relationships of ownership
They whisper in the wings
To those condemned to act accordingly
And wait for succeeding kings
And I try to harmonize with songs
The lonesome sparrow sings
There are no kings inside the Gates of Eden

The motorcycle black madonna
Two-wheeled gypsy queen
And her silver-studded phantom cause
The gray flannel dwarf to scream
As he weeps to wicked birds of prey
Who pick up on his bread crumb sins
And there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden

The kingdoms of Experience
In the precious wind they rot
While paupers change possessions
Each one wishing for what the other has got
And the princess and the prince
Discuss what's real and what is not
It doesn't matter inside the Gates of Eden

The foreign sun, it squints upon
A bed that is never mine
As friends and other strangers
From their fates try to resign
Leaving men wholly, totally free
To do anything they wish to do but die
And there are no trials inside the Gates of Eden

At dawn my lover comes to me
And tells me of her dreams
With no attempts to shovel the glimpse
Into the ditch of what each one means
At times I think there are no words
But these to tell what's true
And there are no truths outside the Gates of Eden
