Tom Waits - Tell It To Me Lyrics






They say you're seeing someone, you're wearing his ring
They say you laughed when you heard my name
They say he takes you dancing, he holds you so near
They say he'll buy you anything
Tell me am I foolish, I don't believe these stories
And I'll be coming home soon

Louise, Louise, if it's true
Tell it to me

I know, you will not see me, but I know you have a daughter
And I hear she has my eyes
They say she calls him "father", and he's proud of her
And even believes all of your lies
But for all your faithless beauty, I'd give all my tomorrows
And if you're still thinking of me
Louise, Louise, if it's true
Tell it to me

Oh Louise, Louise, if it's true
Tell it to me
Oh Louise, Louise, if it's true
Tell it to me

  3. W.... S....

    Wow this hit home!

  4. p.... a....

    Siento por esta romanza un apego especial, parejo al que despiertan en mí la mayoría de estas “huérfanas”. A menudo, me acompañan como cuentas de un rosario que resumiera mi propio peregrinar, en algún momento, me detengo en una de ellas y me delecto en sus palabras y en su cadencia. Todas hablan más allá de lo que cuentan, portan la vida misma en cualquiera de sus formas, a modo de un compendio de lo humano.

  5. A.... B....

    And "Orphans" is something high!

  6. A.... B....

    Just : JESUS!!!!

  7. C.... S....

    Brilliant.

  8. p.... a....

    Tom Waits representa para mí la figura del rebelde americano que supo salir ileso de la quema, apartándose de la escena, cada vez que pudo, para refugiarse entre los suyos, como el viejo guerrillero que vuelve a la cabaña tras cada gesta. No hay duda, las epopeyas más densas son las ordinarias, caballos celestes caídos en el desaguadero que renacen indemnes: «Usted debe haber traído el mal tiempo/ El cielo es color de plomo/ Todo lo que me ha dejado es una pluma/ en una cama sin hacer…» A cada cual su farsa. El sosiego no es buen lecho para el rebelde. La melodía se teje en lo efímero… recurso fatal: « à force d’écouter. Bramer, hurler, rugir, / pour leur cœur c’eût été trop peu. Où tout à l’heure/ une hutte offrait à peine un pauvre abri » . ¿Recuerdas? Tu decías, "la sentencia de Rilke es veraz, Orfeo yace bajo su lira" .

    Maybe he stayed away too long and did not make clear if he would ever come, but it is still a tear-jerker, Arthounot. I like how he leaves the door open regardless of her answer. The poignancy exists mostly in the time between when he asks, and she tells him.

  12. p.... ....

    meravigliosa !

  13. 2.... ....

    Yeah, it's a nice one...even though I like his faster ones and more "experimental" ones better. He is a true artist!
