Una de mis canciones favoritas es Werewolf, de la banda CocoRosie. He visto videos de cuando la interpretan en vivo, y realizan versiones diferentes, más aceleradas y hip-hop; sin embargo, yo prefiero la versión del álbum (The Adventures Of Ghosthorse And Stillborn) porque es de esas rolas que al cerrar los ojos me van construyendo una historia, con escenarios mitológicos y gotitas de lluvia incluidas. Tenía como reto personal traducir la canción, pero me di cuenta de que perdería gran parte de su sentido, por eso mejor aquí dejo la letra en su idioma original.
Bajé la letra de internet, así que podría tener algunos errores*
Werewolf
In a dream I was a werewolf
My soul was filled with crystal light
Lavender ribbons of rain sang
Ridding my heart of mortal fight
Broken sundown fatherless showdown
Gun hip swollen lip bottle sip yeah i suck dick
Loose grip on gravity falls sky blinding crumbling walls
River sweep away my memories of
Children's things a young mother's love
Before the yearning song of flesh on flesh
Young hearts burst open wounds bleed fresh
A young brother skinny and tall my older walks
Oceanward and somber, slumber sleeping
Flowers in the water, but I’m just his daughter
Walking down an icy grave
leading to my Schizophrenic father
Weeping willow won't you wallow louder?
Searching for my father's power
I'm a shake you off though
Get up on that horse and
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse
He's a black magic wielder some say a witch
Wielded darkness when he was
wilein' on his mom's
And born child and he was the bastard the that broke
Up the marriage evil doer doing evil
from a baby carriage
And he was born with the same blue eyes
Crystal ships dripping with ice,
diamonds coruscate
In the night fireworks electric bright
And now he's got his own two sons
Tries to hide his tears
in a world of fun
But loveless bedrooms filled with doom
Bring silent heartache July to June
Swoon over new young hot flame
Mourn the memories later
Laugh now alligator
In a dream my father came to me
And made me swear that I’d keep
What’s sacred to me
And if i get the choice to live in his name
I’ll pray my way through the rain
Singing oh happy day
I don't mean to close the door
But for the record my heart is sore
You blew through me like bullet holes
Left stains on my sheets and stains on my soul
You left me broke down begging for change
Had to catch a ride with a man who's deranged
He had your hands and my father's face
Another western vampire
Different time same place
I has dreams that brings me sadness
Rain much deeper than a river
Sorrow flow through me
Tiny waves of shivers
Corny movies make me reminisce
They break me down easy on this generic love shit
First kiss frog and princess
I'm a shake you off though
Get up on that horse and
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse...
