The greatest

Dedicada a mis amigos: ellos son "the greatest".

Cat Power - The Greatest

Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars at night turned deep to dust

Melt me down
Into big black armour
Leave no trace
Of grace
Just in your honor
Lower me down
To culprit south
Make ‘em wash
A space in town
For the lead and the dregs of my bed
I’ve been sleeping
Lower me down
Pin me in
Secure the grounds
For the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest
Two fists of solid rock
With brains that could explain
Any feeling

Lower me down
Pin me in
Secure the grounds
For the lead and the dregs of my bed
I’ve been sleeping
For the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars of night turned deep to dust

Smoke Fairies – Summer Fades (letras)

[See this post in English]

Mi intento de sacar la letra de esta maravillosa canción de Smoke Fairies.

Sé que mi inglés no es especialmente bueno, así que si veis algún error en las letras, por favor avisadme :)

Summer Fades



As the summer fades
to a watery light
and autumn’s hues
are coming into life.

Can we start something new
just me and you?
Through low light and trees
a future unseen
is a future I can believe.

Through the cold
these months
I held onto
a day in hope
that flickered in you.

Can we start something new
further than you?
A step is the path
the Moon to the Earth.
Find a future I can believe.

Can you hold me like you held someone
you shouldn't have let go?
Can you keep me deep inside
like the regrets that burnt a hole?
Can you love me like you loved someone
you loved so long ago?

Take me far away
the late night drive.
See her lights flash
in a stranger's eyes.

And then start something new
just me and you.
Through low light and trees
a future unseen
is a future I can believe.

Can you hold me like you held someone
you shouldn't have let go?
Can you keep me deep inside
like the regrets that burnt a hole?
Can you love me like you loved someone
you loved so long ago?

Can you hold me like you held someone
you shouldn't have let go?
Can you keep me deep inside
like the regrets that burnt a hole?
Can you love me like you loved someone
you loved so long ago?

Lori Meyers - Ventura

Una de mis canciones favoritas de los Lori Meyers y con la que más identificado me siento últimamente :)

Hay un tren...
vaga desde largo tiempo atrás.
Puede que
busque una odisea que contar.

Movimiento en el trayecto
con la poca fe que queda dentro.
Mal reparto en los asientos
alguien conduce por derecho.

Oh oh no tiene dirección
oh oh perdido y sin control
oh oh oh

Hay un tren...
va formando nubes de vapor.
Ha de haber
un tesoro oculto en su interior.

El camino se hace largo,
los recursos se van agotando.
Hay un cruce hacia otra vía
mas angosta pero con salida.

De entre todos sus vagones
solo los de atrás ven lejano el horizonte.

Oh oh no tiene dirección
oh oh perdido y sin control
oh oh camino a la estación
oh oh oh

Hay un tren...
