Descubrimiento

Entré a un lugar muy canchero en Palermo y a los dos segundos no podía creer lo que oía. No les pasa sentir una emoción megatérica al escuchar por primera vez una canción que saben que les encantará? Es como descubrir un tesoro escondido o encontrar semienterrado en tu jardín un juguete tuyo que no veías hace añares.

Hay que compartir estas cosas, inmediatamente. No se puede esperar al viernes.
La canción es "Katie Cruel" y la canta Karen Dalton. Alguno de uds. la conocía?

Katie Cruel

When first I came to town
They brought me bottles plenty
And now they've changed their tune
They bring me the bottles empty

Diddle-ay, oh diddle-i o-day

Oh that I was what I would be
That what I be that I am not
Here am I where I must be
Go where would I cannot

I know who I love
And I know who loves me
I know where I'm going
And I know who'll go with me

Diddle-ay, oh diddle-i o-day

Through the woods I'll go
Through the bog and mire
Ride on down the road
And to my hearts desire

Diddle-ay, oh diddle-i o-day

Oh that I was what I would be
That what I be that I am not
Here am I where I must be
Go where would I cannot

Eyes as bright as coals
Lips like a bright red cherry
And 'tis her delight
To make the young folks marry

Diddle-ay, oh diddle-i o-day

When first I came to town
They called me the roving jewel
Now they've changed their tune
They call me Katie Cruel

Diddle-ay, oh diddle-i o-day

Oh that I was what I would be
That what I be that I am not
Here am I where I must be
Go where would I cannot
