Genesis

Play me Old King Cole

That I may join with you
All your hearts now seem so far from me
It hardly seems to matter now
And the nurse will tell you lies
Of a kingdom beyond the skies
But I am lost within this half-world
It hardly seems to matter now
Play me my song
Here it comes again
Play me my song
Here it comes again
Just a little bit
Just a little bit more time
Time left to live out my life
Play me my song
Here it comes again
Play me my song
Here it comes again
Old King Cole was a merry old soul
And a merry old soul was he
So he called for his pipe
And he called for his bowl
And he called for his fiddlers three
But the clock, tick-tock
On the mantlepiece
And I want, and I feel, and I know, and I touch
The walls
She's a lady, she's got time
Brush back your hair and let me get to know your face
She's a lady, she is mine
Oh, brush back your hair and let me get to know your flesh
I've been waiting here for so long
And all this time that passed me by
It doesn't seem to matter now
You stand there with your fixed expression
Casting doubt on all I have to say
Why don't you touch me, touch me
Why don't you touch me, touch me
Touch me now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now

La caja musical
Juega conmigo el viejo rey Cole
Play me Old King Cole

Para que pueda unirme a ti

That I may join with you

Todos tus corazones ahora est�n tan lejos de m�.

All your hearts now seem so far from me

Ya casi no importa
It hardly seems to matter now
Y la enfermera te dir� mentiras.
And the nurse will tell you lies

De un reino m�s all� de los cielos.

Of a kingdom beyond the skies

Pero estoy perdido en este medio mundo.

But I am lost within this half-world

Ya casi no importa
It hardly seems to matter now
Ponme mi cancion
Play me my song

Aqui viene otra vez

Here it comes again

Ponme mi cancion
Play me my song

Aqui viene otra vez

Here it comes again
Solo un poco
Just a little bit

S�lo un poco m�s de tiempo.

Just a little bit more time

Tiempo restante para vivir mi vida.

Time left to live out my life
Ponme mi cancion
Play me my song

Aqui viene otra vez

Here it comes again

Ponme mi cancion
Play me my song

Aqui viene otra vez

Here it comes again
El viejo rey Cole era un alma vieja y alegre.
Old King Cole was a merry old soul
Y un alma vieja y alegre fue �l.
And a merry old soul was he

As� que llam� a su pipa

So he called for his pipe

Y le pidi� su cuenco.
And he called for his bowl

Y llam� a sus violinistas tres.

And he called for his fiddlers three
Pero el reloj, tic tac.
But the clock, tick-tock

En la repisa
On the mantlepiece

Y quiero, y siento, y s�, y toco.

And I want, and I feel, and I know, and I touch

Los muros
The walls
Ella es una dama, tiene tiempo.
She's a lady, she's got time

Cepilla tu cabello y d�jame conocer tu cara.

Brush back your hair and let me get to know your face

Ella es una dama, ella es m�a.

She's a lady, she is mine

Oh, retira tu cabello y d�jame conocer tu carne

Oh, brush back your hair and let me get to know your flesh
Llevo tanto tiempo esperando aqu�
I've been waiting here for so long

Y todo este tiempo que me pas�.

And all this time that passed me by

No parece importar ahora

It doesn't seem to matter now

Te quedas ah� con tu expresi�n fija.

You stand there with your fixed expression

Arrojando dudas sobre todo lo que tengo que decir.

Casting doubt on all I have to say

Porque no me tocas me tocas

Why don't you touch me, touch me

Porque no me tocas me tocas

Why don't you touch me, touch me

T�came ahora, ahora, ahora, ahora, ahora

Touch me now, now, now, now, now

Ahora, ahora, ahora, ahora, ahora

Now, now, now, now, now
Ahora, ahora, ahora, ahora, ahora
Now, now, now, now, now

Ahora, ahora, ahora, ahora

Now, now, now, now

Ahora, ahora, ahora, ahora

Now, now, now, now
