"The Kids"
===================
album _Berlin_
(Lou Reed, 1973)
written by Lou Reed
===================
They're taking her children away
because they said she was not a good mother
They're taking her children away
because she was making it with sisters and brothers
And everyone else, all of the others
like cheap officers who would
stand there and flirt in front of me
They're taking her children away
because they said she was not a good mother
They're taking her children away
because of the things that they heard she had done
The black Air Force sergeant was not the first one
and all of the drugs she took, every one, every one
And I am the Water Boy, the real game's not over here
But my heart is overflowing anyway
I'm just a tired man, no words to say
But since she lost her daughter
it's her eyes that fill with water
And I am much happier this way
They're taking her children away
because they said she was not a good mother
They're taking her children away
because number one was the girlfriend from Paris
The things that they did, huh, they didn't have to ask us
and then the Welshman from India, who came here to stay
They're taking her children away
because they said she was not a good mother
They're taking her children away
because of the things she did in the streets
In the alleys and bars, no she couldn't be beat
that miserable rotten slut couldn't turn anyone away
I am the Water Boy, the real game's not over here
But my heart is overflowing anyway
I'm just a tired man, no words to say
But since she lost her daughter
it's her eyes that fill with water
And I am much happier this way
Iván el terrible
La noche del cazador, un presa que elegir,
avería y redención para ponerlo todo en la canción,
contarlo todo sin decir cómo paso,
es imposible no entenderlo.
Algo de autodestrucción y una pizca de placer,
kilos de insatisfacción y una oreja más que conquistar,
alguna mueca, una sonrisa de pavor,
hemos llegado hasta la puerta.
Una etapa con dos puertos de montaña,
el corredor de fondo sabe superar
el contratiempo, es juez y parte,
el propio tiempo es arte y hasta nos podría ayudar.
Es imposible no entederlo,
lucha en el barro como en una peli,
Rocco Siffredi es siempre otro.
Me contaron una vez
que hoy el lujo en Nueva York
ya no es lo que era ayer,
hoy cualquiera podría tener
alguna marca (mueca) que distinga donde está,
por eso ya nunca sabemos quién es quién cuando es discreto.
Un aplauso americano,
poco a poco va empezando el rock que siempre es lo mejor.
El corredor de fondo sabe
"el tiempo es sólo una ilusión y algunas veces la jugó".
Con más burbujas que un anuncio de champagne
hemos llegado hasta la puerta.
Es imposible no entenderlo ahora ...
ahora ...
ahora, ahora ..

woman in green
No hay alternativa,
si la hubiera no me gustaría.
Mira la ciudad por la ventana
de la cafetería,
y me dice que sonría.
Sé que ella quisiera regalar
sus superpoderes
igualarse a los demás.
La mujer de Verde
se ha vuelto a poner el traje
para rescatarme.
¿Qué sucederá cuando las balas no reboten
y los malos sean más fuertes
y volar no sea tan fácil
y conozcan nuestros planes?
Dame una señal,
yo buscaré un disfraz
de carnaval.
Encontraremos algo en el desván
prometo no estorbar.

santificado comienzo de año
I wish I was a fisherman
tumbling on the seas
Far away from dry land
and its bitter memories
Casting out my sweet line
with abandonment and love
No ceiling bearing down on me
Save the starry sky above
With light in my head
you in my arms
Woo!
I wish I was the brakeman
on a hurtling fevered train
Crashing a-headlong into the heartland
like a cannon in the rain
With the beating of the sweepers
and the burning of the coal
Counting the towns flashing by
in a night that's full of soul
With light in my head
you in my arms
Woo!
Tomorrow I will be loosened
from bonds that hold me fast
That the chains all hung around me
will fall away at last
And on that fine and fateful day
I will take thee in my hands
I will ride on the train
I will be the fisherman
With light in my head
you in my arms
Light in my head
You in my arms

Mad about the boy
I know it's stupid to be mad about the boy
I'm so ashamed of it but must admit the sleepless nights I've had
About the boy
On the silverscreen
He melts my foolish heart in every single scene
Although I'm quite aware that here and there are traces of the cad
About the boy
Lord knows I'm not a fool girl
I really shouldn't care
Lord knows I'm not a school girl
In the fury of her first affair
Will it ever cloy
This odd diversity of misery and joy
I'm feeling quite insane and young again
And all because I'm mad about the boy
So if I could employ
A little magic that will finally destroy
This dream that pains me and enchains me
But I can't because I'm mad...
I'm mad about the boy

bueno y malo
mi mente está triste me siento algo extraño,
mi cuerpo se agota mi alma lo nota,
de ver en el mundo me tira de otra oca,
la loca envídia que trae la mentira
palabras tan falsas que por mi mente pasa, hoy pasa y yo....
El tiempo se pasa y los años me cansan,
de ver la mentira que traen gente vana,
mi tiempo está en vilo yo sé que me pasa
mentiras, palabras y todo es una falsa
hoy tengo un momento de ansias con ganas
quisiera decir lo que siento en mi alma
la vida pasa, hoy pasa y yo.....-
y en mí, y en mí, y en mí,
en mi mundo nuevo lo voy a olvidar
las aventuras que he podido vivir
en mí ,y en mí, que yai que yai
no aguanto más, mi historia es asi,
y en mí......
que por mi mente pasa, hoy pasa y yo....

nothing beside
Ozymandias
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
El soneto es de Percy Bysshe Shelley, criatura inglesa que, de puro romántica, vivió 30 años (1792-1822) porque un naufragio en un velero se lo llevó por delante. Eso es ser consecuente y lo demás son pamplinas. Su biografía, fácilmente encontrable, es de traca.
El poema se publicó en enero de 1818, cuando contaba con 25 primaveras. El entrecomillado corresponde a la inscripción que Diodorus Siculus dice en su Biblioteca histórica que había en la base de la estatua de Ramsés II allá por Egipto. El tal Diodorus era historiador de los de la época -siglo I a. de C.-, es decir, mitad escritor de ficción, mitad testigo imparcial. Ozymandias proviene de una transliteración al griego hecha malamente, por cierto, del nombre del trono del tal Ramsés
Pero la idea está clara, tanto como la de 1968, que aunque de mala calidad, de sobra es conocida.
La lectura -magnífica- corresponde a Bryan Cranston haciendo de W. W. En Breaking bad. La de Richard, por cotejar, no es asunto menor.
transliterar. (De trans- y el lat. littĕra, letra).
1. tr. Representar los signos de un sistema de escritura mediante los signos de otro.
La palabra ciclable no está registrada en el Diccionario.
