"Mourn the memories later, laugh now aligator"...

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...
