Nick Cave y Kylie Minogue - 'Where The Wild Roses Grow'

They call me The Wild Rose
but my name was Elisa Day.
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day.

From the firts day I saw her I knew she was the one.
As she stared in my eyes and smiled.
For her lips were the coleur of the roses.
That grew down the river ,all bloody and wild.

When he knocked on my door and entered the room.
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace.
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand.
He wiped up the tears that run down my face.

They call me The Wild Rose
but my name was Elisa Day.
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day.

On the second day I brought her a flower.
She was more beautiful than any women i'd seen.
I said," Do you know where the wild roses grow.
So sweet and scarlet and free?.

On the second day he came with a single red rose.
Said."Will you give me your loss and your sorrow.
I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
He said," if i show you the roses will you follow...

They call me The Wild Rose
but my name was Elisa Day.
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day.

On the third day he took me to the river.
He showed me the roses and we kissed.
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word.
As he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist.

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow.
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief.
As I kissed her goodbey, I said,"all beauty must die"
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth.

They call me The Wild Rose
but my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day

En 1996 Nick Cave colabora con su paisana, Kylie Minogue, para esta preciosa balada. El lirismo de la canción la hizo parecer muy romántica, pero realmente narra cómo un asesino acaba con la vida de su amada para conservar su belleza.
