Estoy dándole vueltas a una canción tradicional (parece) estadounidense,
pero no consigo sacar la letra de la última estrofa. Va en la línea de
la Danza de la Muerte. La cantaba el grupo Kaleidoscope, en el disco
Side Trips (1967), y hasta donde la entiendo va así:
-My name is Death and none can excel,
I can open the gates to Heaven or Hell,
I can cast aside the flesh of thee,
Cast them aside and set you free.
-Oh-oh Death, Oh-oh-oh Death,
can't you spare me over till another year?
-I lock their jaws so they can't talk,
stiffen their legs so they can't walk,
close their eyes so they can't see,
the chill you feel, all comes from me.
-Oh-oh Death, Oh-oh-oh Death,
can't you spare me over till another year?
-Mama, mama, come to my bed
and place a cold rag upon my head.
My eyes are closed and I cannot see,
I feel the sheet pulling over me.
Oh-oh Death, Oh-oh-oh Death,
can't you spare me over till another year?
-My wealth is all at thy command
(...) hand
- (..) quite the s(h)ame,
for the earth and the worm both have a claim.
-Oh-oh Death, Oh-oh-oh Death,
Can't you spare me over till another year?
Si alguien cree que puede echarme una mano pero no tiene la canción, que
se ponga en contacto conmigo. Gracias de antemano.
