Tom Waits Black Wings Letra
Tom Waits Black Wings Traduccion
Take an eye for an eye
Toma diente por diente
take a tooth for a tooth
diente por diente
just like they say in the bible
tal y como dicen en la Bíblia
never leave a trace or forget a face
Nunca deja rastro ni olvida una cara
of any man at the table
de ninguno de los presentes a la mesa
when the moon is a cold chiseled dagger
Cuando la luna es una fría daga cincelada
sharp enough to draw blood from a stone
y está los bastante afilada para sacar sangre de una piedra
he rides through your dreams on a coach and horses
él recorre tus sueños en un carruaje de caballos
and the fence posts in the moonlight look like bones
y los postes de las vallas bajo la luna parecen huesos
Well they've stopped trying to hold him
Han cejado en su intento de atraparle
with mortar, stone and chain
con argamasa, piedra y cadenas
he broke out of every prison
Se escapó de todas las prisiones
boots mount the staircase
Las botas suben las escaleras
the door is flung back open
la puerta se abre balanceandose
he's not there for he has risen
No está allí porque se ha levantado
he's not there for he has risen
No está allí porque se ha levantado
Some say he once killed a man with a guitar string
algunos dicen que una vez mató a un hombre con una cuerda de guitarra
he's been seen at the table with kings
Se le ha visto compartiendo mesa con reyes
well he once saved a baby from drowning
Una vez salvó a un bebé de ahogarse
there are those who say beneath his coat there are wings
Estan quienes dicen que bajo su abrigo hay alas
some say they fear him
bueno, algunos dicen que le temen
Well, some say they fear him
bueno, algunos dicen que le temen
others admire him
otros le admiran
because he steals his promise
porque roba su promesa
one look in his eye
Una mirada a los ojos
everyone denies
y todo el mundo niega
ever having met him
haberle conocido nunca
ever having met him
haberle conocido nunca
He can turn himself into a stranger
Puede transformarse en un desconocido
well they broke a lot of canes on his hide
Le partieron un montón de varas en el pellejo
he was born away in a cornfield
Nació en un maizal apartado
a fever beats in his head just like a drum inside
Una fiebre le late en la cabeza como un tambor interior
Some say they fear him
bueno, algunos dicen que le temen
others admire him
otros le admiran
because he steals his promise
porque roba su promesa
one look in his eye
Una mirada a los ojos
everyone denies
y todo el mundo niega
ever having met him
haberle conocido nunca
ever having met him
haberle conocido nunca
