Portishead – Glory Box

Viendo hoy El señor de la Guerra, he escuchado de fondo esta gran canción, que tenía en la recámara. Así que me he decidido a dispararla ya. Se trata de una melodía procedente del disco debut de esta banda, Dummy, en 1994.

Una melodía suave pero con letra dura: Dame una razón para amarte. Me recuerda en el tempo al Mad about you de Hooverphonic. Un poco de trip-hop para un día aciago.

Letra:

I’m so tired of playing,
Playing with this bow and arrow,
I’m gonna give my heart away,
Leave it to the other girls to play.
For I’ve been a temptress too long,

[estribillo]
Oh yeah,
Give me a reason to love you,
Give me a reason to be a woman,
I just want to be a woman

From this time unchained,
Were all looking at a different picture,
Through this new frame of mind,
A thousand flowers could bloom,
Move over and give us some room

[estribillo]

So don’t you stop being a man,
Just take a little look from outside when you can,
Show a little tenderness,
No matter if you cry

This is the beginning of forever and ever,
Its time to move over now,
So I want to be

I’m so tired of playing,
Playing with this bow and arrow,
I’m gonna give my heart away,
Leave it to the other girls to play.
For I’ve been a temptress too long,
