[...unWARP!!!]
Good evening.
This was a song I heard a while back, and I thought that it might more or less reflect Foxglove’s feelings for Dale. Now, I know that the situations this song presents are not exactly as one might have expected from the CDRR episodes, but the chorus is great, so when U read it, PLEASE try to be objective.
Also, I’m providing a literal/linear/word-for-word translation (except where colloquialisms are used), so you people can see more or less how we Hispanos deal with poetry. The verbs in the reflexive mood (to myself, to yourself) don’t translate too well, so bear with me.
Until next time, remember:
I AM THE J.A.M.
Good evening.
[WARP!!!]
