well, i need to make a real entry at some point
i've been listening to this song all day, though:
Hi ha una casa allà a Nova Orleans
S’en diu "El sol naixent"
hi ha estat
de molts
xicots
la perdició.
Jo en sóc un cas vivent.
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been
the ruin
of many
a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
La mare era modista
tenía bones mans.
Mon pare era un jugador,
allà
a Nova
Orleans.
My mother was a seamstress
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down
in New
Orleans.
Maleta i bagul i no res més
li cal a un jugador,
i només se sent cofoi de tot
quan
li diuen
borratxo.
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when
he's roarin'
drunk.
Oh, mare, els fills avisa,
que no facin com jo he fet,
viure sempre en pecat i en el vici,
a la casa
del Sol
Naixent.
Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House
of the Rising
Sun.
Hi ha una casa allà a Nova Orleans
S’en diu "El sol naixent"
hi ha estat
de molts
xicots la perdició.
Jo en sóc un cas vivent.
Well, there’s a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been
the ruin
of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
and i cant get it out of my head.
