Rica
Open my legs, lie down with death
– Habri mi pia, drumi ku e morto
We kiss, we sigh, we sweat
– Nos become, supremo, samoa
His blackberry mouth stains my nightgown
– Di boka di biba sin mi samson
I pull him close
– Ta acerca
Wrap my legs around and it tastes like life
– Mantel mi pal’i sa di bida
I twist, I bite
– Giro, moed
The foxes chatter in the night
– Di zorros charla riba e anochi
Show me the way
– Hasimi e kaminda
This feeling leads
– E sentimentu aki ta kondusí
The ache, the kick, the need
– E doló, e bahada, e nesesidat
Show me the way
– Mustra mi e kaminda
This feeling leads
– E sentimentu aki ta kondusí
The ache, the kick, the need
– E doló, e bahada, e nesesidat
A shimmering landscape, I widen my eyes
– Un paisahe briyante, subida di bista
Can I keep all this beauty forever inside?
– Bo por warda tur e bunitesa pa semper den?
I tear off my nightgown and run naked through the town
– Mi ta urbano di samson i otro simpel pa motibu di e stat
Run through rain, run through fog
– Kore dor di awaseru, kore dor di e neblina
Taking consolation in cats and dogs and things that cannot speak
– Tuma enkurashamentu na pushi i kachó i kosnan ku no por papia
Ran to the ancestral plane, but they all showed up drunk and insane
– Nan a kore bai e plan di nan antepasadonan, pero tur a aparesé borí i loko
When I asked what I could offer them
– Ora mi a puntra kiko mi por a ofresé nan
They said, “Gin and tonic or lithium”
– Nan a bisa, Ginebra i toniko òf litio
I asked, “Which way should I go?”
– Mi a puntra: “Na unda mi mester bai?”
Through cigarette smoke, they said
– Pa medio di huma di sigareta, nan a bisa
“Child, how would we know?”
– “Niña, kon nos lo sa?”
Show me the way
– Mustra mi e kaminda
This feeling leads
– E sentimentu aki ta kondusí
The ache, the kick, the need
– Dolor, poncha, nesesidat
Show me the way
– Mustra mi e kaminda
This feeling leads
– E sentimentu aki ta kondusí
The ache, the kick, the need
– Dolor, poncha, nesesidat
Desire beyond reason
– Mi ta deseá mas aleu di rason
Ruinous thing
– Un kos ruinoso
A stranger came to my door
– Un straño a bini na mi porta
And I welcomed him in
– I mi a yama bo bon bini na
My feet are bleeding
– Mi pia ta sangrando
But I cannot stop, I have many, many miles
– Pero mi no por para, mi tin hopi, hopi kilometer
Yet to cross
– Sinembargo, pa krusa
I came to a clearing
– Mi a yega na un kla
Full of wailing and keening
– Yen di lamento i angustia
A well of tears that never runs dry
– Un pozo di lágrima ku nunka ta seka
Women said, “We’ve been waiting
– E muhénan a bisa: “Nos tabata warda
Waiting to meet you, it’s only a matter of time”
– Esperando di konosé bo, ta solamente un asuntu di tempu”
Thrust my fists in the ground
– Mi a hinka mi mannan na suela
And the earth made a moaning sound, oh, oh
– I tera a hasi un gemido, oh, oh
I could feel something shudder
– Mi por a sinti algu temblando
Deeper, deeper down
– Mas profundo, mas profundo abou
And I met every monster from the bar to Broadway
– I mi a topa tur e monstruonan, for di e bar te Na Broadway.
And all their violent offers, I just turn them away
– I tur su ofresenan violento, mi ta simplemente rechasá nan.
And your threats and your promises, they don’t scare me
– I bo menasanan i bo promesanan no ta spanta mi
After all, there’s nobody more monstrous than me (Woo)
– Despues Di tur kos, no Tin niun hende mas monstruoso ku mi (Woo)
Than me (Woo)
– Ku mi (Woo)
