Because The Night - Patti Smith
Take me now baby here as I am.
Pull me close, try and understand.
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe.
Love is a banquet on which we feed.
Come on now try and understand
the way I feel when I'm in your hands.
Take my hand come undercover.
They can't hurt you now,
can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now
because the night belongs to lovers,
because the night belongs to lust,
because the night belongs to lovers,
because the night belongs to us.
Have I doubt when I'm alone.
Love is a ring, the telephone.
Love is an angel disguised as lust.
Here in our bed until the morning comes.
Come on now try and understand
the way I feel under your command.
Take my hand as the sun descends.
They can't touch you now,
can't touch you now, can't touch you now,
because the night belongs to lovers,
because the night belongs to lust,
because the night belongs to lovers,
because the night belongs to us.
With love we sleep,
with doubt the vicious circle
turn and burns.
Without you I cannot live.
Forgive, the yearning burning.
I believe it's time, too real to feel.
So, touch me now, touch me now, touch me now
because the night belongs to lovers,
because the night belongs to lust,
because the night belongs to lovers,
because the night belongs to us.
because tonight there are two lovers
if we believe in the night we trust
because the night belongs to lovers,
because the night belongs to lust,
because the night belongs to lovers,
because the night belongs to us.
- Notas: Curiosamente, esta canción fue compuesta inicialmente por Bruce Springsteen, que considero que no era un tema adecuado para el disco que estaba a punto de sacar (Darkness in the edge of town), y por eso se lo paso a Patti Smith para ver si le podía ser de utilidad.
Esta
cantante reescribió la canción y compuso la letra una noche mientras esperaba
la llamada de teléfono de su novio (de ahí lo de "love is a ring, the
telephone"), y este se retraso hasta altas horas de la noche, cosa que le
sirvió de fuente de inspiración. Así, la canción pasó a tener como tema central
esa ansia por estar con la persona a la que se ama.
- 1. “…undercover…” = Esto se usa principalmente para hablar de las operaciones policiales cuando un agente trabaja "undercover" y se mete en la banda criminal para obtener pruebas que permitan detenerles. Sería algo así como "en secreto".
- 2. “…lust…” = Uno de los siete pecados capitales, el "lust" es la lujuría, o esa pasión sexual desatada que nos lleva a hacer cosas que pueden ser consideradas inmorales.
- 3. “…disguised…” = Los
"disguises" son los disfraces que se usan para aparentar ser otra
persona, especialmente en fiestas de disfraces tipo Carnaval. Como verbo se usa
para hablar de la acción de disfrazarse, o en este caso, de hacerse pasar por
una cosa siendo otra totalmente distinta.
