They two are nobody special,
two women whose hands are held each other,
a nuance comes afterward
when they do it under tablecloth,
later alone with nothing to lose,
after the hands comes the rest of skin,
A love to hide,
though a naked body nowhere to hide it,
they cover it of friendship.
when it goes for a walk around city.
One of them says that it is not right,
the other one says what else can we do?
and the opinion of people doesn't care us.
who stops pigeons flying at ground level,
woman against woman.
I have no intention to throw to them the first stone,
if I bump the situation where they lock lips each other in lounge
I wouldn't even be able to cough
if i am not welcome, I know I have to do,
they build their wall with my stones.

Woman Against Woman
ReplyDeletecontroversial song due to its homosexUAL* content, it was a hit in the 80's in many countries and censured in others where to be a homosexUAL was still a crime)
ThE two OF THEM are nobody special,
two women HOLDING hands,
a nuance comes afterward
when they do it under THE tablecloth,
later alone with nothing to lose,
after the hands comes the rest of THE skin,
A love to hide,
though THERE IS NOWHERE TO HIDE a naked body,
they cover it WITH friendship.
when it goes for a walk around THE city.
One of them says that it is not right,
the other one says what else can we do?
and the opinion of people doesn't BOTHER us.
whoEVER stops pigeons flying at ground level,
woman against woman.
I have no intention to throw AT them the first stone,
if I RUN INTO the situation where they lock lips [] in A lounge
I wouldn't even be able to cough
if i am not welcome, I know I have to do,**
they build their wall with my stones.
*I have not heard or seen "homosex" in English.
**I don't understand this line in either language.
comments:
ReplyDelete1. quien detiene palomas=whoever stops pigeons
I think it means: who is able to stop pigeons..? then "whoever" is still right?
2."si no gusto ya sé lo que hay que hacer" I think it means: if I am not attractive enough for them then I rather come out. (Sometimes it is hard to understand some pieces of songs in Spanish)
I think the choices are:
ReplyDelete1. Whoever stops pigeons...
2. He who stops pigeons...
They usually mean the same thing, although the second can refer to a specific person, while the first is always general.
I don't think we can form a noun phrase beginning with "who".
thank you very much, the comments helps a lot.
