ég veit ekki almennilega hversvegna en þetta lag hefur alltaf rosaleg áhrif á mig…
Finnst það sorglegt en jafnframt rosalega fallegt. það fellur alveg 100% inn í að vera eitt af mínum uppáhalds lögum, það eru ekki mörg lög sem ég get alltaf hlustað á, hvernig skapi sem ég er í eða hvenær sem er.. en þetta er pottþétt eitt af þeim 🙂
:: Where The Wild Roses Grow ::
Kylie Minogue:
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
Nick Cave:
From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
She stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the colour of the roses
That grew down the river, all bloody and wild
Kylie Minogue:
When he knocked on my door and entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
He wiped at the tears that ran down my face
Chorus
Nick Cave:
On the second day I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful than any woman I’d seen
I said, “Do you know where the wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free?”
Kylie Minogue:
On the second day he came with a single red rose
Said: “Will you give me your loss and your sorrow”
I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
He said, “If I show you the roses, will you follow?”
Chorus
Kylie Minogue:
On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he knelt (stood smiling) above me with a rock in his fist
Nick Cave:
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
And I kissed her goodbye, said, “All beauty must die”
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth
Chorus
