Ana Tijoux: Las horas
• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnRywV8Hh-U
Hace horas que te espero
y hace horas no te veo
hace horas que te quiero pero
hace horas que te pierdo
hace horas que te espero
y hace horas no te veo
hace horas que te quiero pero
hace horas que te pierdo
Hace horas que te pierdo
en esta esquina sólo me acompaña esta
tímida neblina el sabor de tus besos
impregnados al vapor de este solitario invierno
quizás me olvidaste
o quizás la verdad tú solo me borraste
este amor es un chiste triste triste
como se siente cuando todo lo perdiste
la miel la piel y el riel
cual es el sentido cuando la vida luego es tan cruel
dame más tiempo frecuento un momento
juro que mi sombra será tan discreta como tu silencio
pero nunca me respondes …

Premier jour Jacques Prévert, Parole
Des draps blancs dans une armoire
Des draps rouges dans un lit
Un enfant dans sa mere
Sa mère dans les douleurs
Le père dans le couloir
Le couloir dans la maison
La maison dans la ville
La ville dans la nuit
La mort dans un cri
Et l’enfant dans la vie.

La chaise où quelqu’un s’est assis
Le chat que quelqu’un a caressé
Le fruit que quelqu’un a mordu
La lettre que quelqu’un a lue
La chaise que quelqu’un a renversée
La route où quelqu’un court encore
Le bois que quelqu’un traverse
La rivière où quelqu’un se jette

Kennings
A kenning is a form of metaphor,
originally used in Anglo-Saxon and
Norse poetry.
In a kenning, an object is described in a
two-word phrase, such as 'whale-road'
for 'sea'.
Some kennings can be more obscure
than others, and are close to being a
riddle.

Wrecking Ball"
We clawed,
we chained our hearts in vain
We jumped never asking why
We kissed, I fell under your spell.
A love no one could deny
Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I can't live a lie, running for my life
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
I put you high up in the sky
And now, you're not coming down
It slowly turned, you let me burn
And now, we're ashes on the ground
Don't you ever say I just walked away
I can't live a lie, running for my life
En vano hoy mi corazón saltó,
Pero sin preguntar, hoy te besé
Un hechizo fue
Amor, no lo puedo negar
No me digas que sólo me alejé
Yo siempre te amaré
Ya no mentiré, por ti escaparé
Es como una Demolición
Golpea fuerte el corazón
cada muro en mi derribas hoy
lo único que hiciste tu, fue destruir
sólo, fue destruir
Te puse en lo alto de Cielo
Y ahora no bajarás
Esto cambio el fuego
Me quemó
Cenizas quedarán
No me digas que sólo me alejé
Ya no mentiré, por ti escaparé
