Tras escribir mi último post sobre Little Jack Melody caí en la cuenta de que mencionaba a dos artistas, Ute Lemper y PaoloConte, de los que -paradójicamente- no existe referencia en Toda esa música. He aquí una pequeña subsanación. La polifacética y versátil artista alemana canta 'The case continues', obra de Neil Hannon y Joby Talbot, y 'Little water song'. 'The case continues' está integrada en el album 'Punishing kiss" (2000), fruto de una acertada selección de temas y colaboraciones que, aparte de los ya mencionados, incluye a Tom Waits, Nick Cave o Elvis Costello (más posts pendientes). Son obras que podrían representar la morbidez y la calidad literaria y musical de un inexistente cabaret contemporáneo.
El binomio Brecht/Weil nunca ha estado ausente como referencia en aquellos que buscan crear e interpretar canciones que se salgan del camino trillado y pestilente.
Letra de "Case continues"
The victim was a woman, a woman in her prime.
The suspect was a lover he had no alibi.
The weapon was a phone call in the dead of night.
You know I never really thought you had it in you.
The case continues
The suspect was a cruel self-motivated man.
He held the victim's heart in the palm of his hand.
The motive is a mystery I'll never understand.
The final cut went deep down to the very sinew.
The case continues
Why did the blood-stained sheets that burned turn quite so cold?
My only crime was passion wild and uncontrolled.
If sex were an Olympic sport we'd've won the gold.
Oh tell me that there's still a little love left in you.
The case continues
The final cut went deep down to the very sinew.
The case continues
The victim is in shock there's not much more to say.
The suspect made a smooth and silent get-away.
The scars may slowly heal but they'll never go away.
I only hope that one day you understand just what I've been through.
The case continues
I only hope that one day you understand just what I've been through.
Oh tell me that there's a little love left in you.
The case continues.
The suspect was a lover he had no alibi.

The case continues.
La víctima era una mujer, una mujer en su florecimiento./ El sospechoso era un amante que no tenía coartada./ El arma, una llamada telefónica en el silencio de la noche./ Sabes que nunca pensé realmente que tuvieras la culpa./ El caso continúa.
El sospechoso era un hombre cruel automotivado./ Tomó el corazón de la víctima en la palma de su mano./ El motivo es un misterio que nunca comprenderé./ El corte final llegó profundamente al mismo nervio./ El caso continúa.
¿Por qué las sábanas manchadas de sangre que quemaba se volvieron tan completamente frías?/ Mi único crimen fue pasion salvaje y descontrolada./ Si el sexo fuera un deporte olímpico hubiéramos ganado el oro./ Oh, dime que todavía queda un poco de amor en tu corazón./ El caso continúa.
El corte final llegó profundamente al mismo nervio.
El caso continua.
El caso continua.
La víctima está bajo el shock, no hay mucho más que decir.
El sospechoso hizo una suave y silenciosa huida.
El sospechoso hizo una suave y silenciosa huida.
Las cicatrices pueden curar lentamente, pero nunca desaparecerán.
Sólo espero que un día comprendas por lo que he pasado.
El caso continúa.
Sólo espero que un día comprendas por lo que he pasado.
El caso continúa.
Sólo espero que un día comprendas por lo que he pasado./ Oh, dime que todavía queda un poco de amor en tu corazón. El caso continúa.
