[...unWARP!!!]
Good evening.
This was *another* song I heard a while back, which might also reflect Foxglove’s feelings for Dale. This one reflects her frustration at his lack of response from her initial advances. Hope you like it.
This one also has a literal/linear/word-for-word translation (except where colloquialisms are used). Watch out for the verbs in the reflexive mood (to myself, to yourself), they don’t translate too well.
Until next time, remember:
I AM THE J.A.M.
Good evening.
[WARP!!!]

"Un Poco De Amor"
Hoy es un día de aquellos
Today is one day of those
En que miro hacia el cielo
In that [I]look toward the sky
Tratando de descifrar
Trying to decipher
El que estés
The that [you]are
De vez en cuando lejos
From time in when far [from time to time]
Y de vez en cuando cerca.
And from time in when near.
Unas veces subir, y otras caer.
Some times to-ascend, and others to-fall.
Y yo cuando tu te me acercas
And I when you [to]me approach
No respondo de mis actos
Not [I]respond of my actions
Siento que aquí voy. . .
[I]feel that here [I]go. . .
De odiarte a quererte
From hating-you to wanting-you
De principio a fin.
From beginning to end.
Buscando un poco de amor,
Searching[for] a little[bit] of love,
Buscando un poco de amor.
Searching[for] a little[bit] of love.
Hay cosas en la vida
[There]are things in the life
En que no encuentras salida,
In that not you-find exit,
Y ante tus ojos se cierra el telón,
And before your eyes itself closes the curtain,
Y tapas la boquilla
And [you]cover the nozzle
Del volcán que se hace lava
Of-the volcano that itself makes lava
Que hace mil años
That ago [one]thousand years
Está aquí adentro.
Is here inside.
Y yo tejiendo redecillas
And I knitting little-nets
Para ver si puedo atraparte.
To see if [I]can capture-you.
Y aquí voy. . .colando la macilla
And here [I]go. . .filtering the clay
En medio de este trópico mortal.
In middle of this tropic deadly.
Buscando un poco de amor
Searching[for] a little[bit] of love
Buscando un poco de amor. . .
Searching[for] a little[bit] of love. . .
