Letra 'The Origin Of Love' de 'Rufus Wainwright' traducida al español

When the earth was still flat,
And the clouds made of fire,
And mountains stretched up to the sky,
Sometimes higher,
Folks roamed the earth
Like big rolling kegs
They had two sets of arms
They had two sets of legs
They had two faces peering
Out of one giant head
And they could watch all around them
And they talked while they read
And they never knew nothing of love
It was before the origin of love

The origin of love

And there were three sexes then,
One that looked like two men
Glued up back to back,
Called the children of the sun
And similar in shape and girth
Were the children of the earth
They looked like two girls
Rolled up in one.
And the children of the moon
Were like a fork shoved on a spoon.
They were part sun, part earth
Part daughter, part son

The origin of love

Now the gods grew quite scared
Of our strength and defiance
And thor said,
'i'm gonna kill them all
With my hammer,
Like i killed the giants.'
And zeus said, 'no,
You better let me
Use my lightening, like scissors,
Like i cut the legs off whales
And dinosaurs into lizards.'
Then he grabbed up some bolts
And he let out a laugh,
Said, 'i'll split them right down the middle
Gonna cut them right up in half.'
And then storm clouds gathered above
Into great balls of fire

And then fire shot down
From the sky in bolts
Like shining blades
Of a knife
And it ripped
Right through the flesh
Of the children of the sun
And the moon
And the earth.
And some indian god
Sewed the wound up into a hole,
Pulled it round to our belly
To remind us of the price we pay.
And osiris and the gods of the nile
Gathered up a big storm
To blow a hurricane,
To scatter us away,
In a flood of wind and rain,
And a sea of tidal waves,
To wash us all away,
And if we don't behave
They'll cut us down again
And we'll be hopping round on one foot
And looking through one eye.

Last time i saw you
We had just split in two.
You were looking at me.
I was looking at you.
You had a way so familiar,
But i could not recognize,
Cause you had blood on your face;
I had blood in my eyes.
But i could swear by your expression
That the pain down in your soul
Was the same as the one down in mine.
That's the pain,
Cuts a straight line
Down through the heart;
We called it love.
So we wrapped our arms around each other,
Trying to shove ourselves back together.
We were making love,
It was a cold dark evening,
Such a long time ago,
When by the mighty hand of jove,
It was the sad story
How we became
Lonely two-legged creatures,
It's the story of
The origin of love.
That's the origin of love

Cuando la tierra seguía siendo plana,
Y las nubes de fuego,
Y las montañas se extendía hacia el cielo,
A veces superior,
La gente deambulaba por la tierra
Al igual que grandes barriles rodantes
Tenían dos pares de brazos
Tenían dos pares de piernas
Tenían dos caras de interconexión
Fuera de una cabeza gigante
Y se podía ver a su alrededor
Y hablaban mientras leían
Y nunca supieron nada del amor
Fue antes de que el origen del amor

El origen del amor

Y había tres sexos entonces,
Uno que parecía dos hombres
Pegado a espalda con espalda,
Llamado a los niños del sol
Y similares en forma y el grosor
Eran los hijos de la tierra
Parecían dos niñas
Envuelto en una.
Y los hijos de la luna
Eran como un tenedor sobre una cuchara.
Eran parte sol, la tierra parte
Hija de la Parte, el hijo de la parte

El origen del amor

Ahora los dioses crecieron bastante asustado
De nuestra fuerza y ??desafío
Y Thor dijo:
"Voy a matarlos a todos
Con mi martillo,
Al igual que yo maté a los gigantes. "
Y Zeus dijo, 'no,
Será mejor que me deje
Usar mi rayo, como tijeras,
Al igual que corté las piernas de las ballenas
Y
