JUEVES - LYRICS ("Animal instinct")

- Animal instinct – Cranberries

Suddenly something has happened to me

as I was having my cup of tea.

Suddenly I was feeling depressed,

I was utterly and totally stressed.

Do you know you made me cry?

Do you know you made me die?

And the thing that gets to me

is you'll never really see.

And the thing that freaks me out

is I'll always be in doubt.

It is a lovely thing that we have.

It is a lovely thing that we.

It is a lovely thing, the animal,

the animal instinct

So take my hands and come with me,

we will change reality.

So take my hands and we will pray,

they won't take you away.

They will never make me cry, no.

They will never make me die.

And the thing that gets to me

is you'll never really see.

And the thing that freaks me out

is I'll always be in doubt.

The animal, the animal,

the animal instinct in me.

It's the animal, the animal,

the animal instinct in me.

It's the animal, it's the animal,

it's the animal instinct in me. [x2]

- Notas: El “animal instinct que da título a la canción es el instinto materno de protección que toda madre tiene, y que a la cantante Dolores O’Riordan le surge tras el nacimiento de su hija. Ese sentirse deprimida o con ganas de orar le vienen precisamente de la ansiedad que le provoca el que algo salga mal y a su hija le pase algo (“they won’t take you away”). Esto es lo que le llena de dudas a la cantante en su papel de madre, y esa es la relación especial de la que habla, la relación madre – hija.
- 1. “…freaks me out…” = “Freaky” es un adjetivo para indicar que alguien es raro, que da miedo. Lo españoles hemos medio copiado el término y usamos “friki” para hablar de alguien raro. “To freak me out” se usa para hablar de algo o alguien que es raro, fuera de lo normal, y que por eso nos da un susto de muerte.
