"Rain Dogs"

The phrase "rain dogs" in this song refers to a habit dogs have of leaving home, then getting lost when it rains, because the rain has washed away the markers they have left to guide them.

Esta canción se refiere a el habito que tienen los perros de irse de casa y perderse cuando llueve ya que la lluvia limpia todas las marcas que dejan para guiarlos de regreso a casa. Me gusta la filosofía de Tom Waits es un verdadero poeta urbano y sus canciones hablan de bares, prostitutas, amor y desamor, todo un lowlife, todo el mundo ha sentido en algún momento de su vida el estar o sentirse perdido, y yo aprovechando que este es un día lluvioso en todos los sentidos, les dejo la la letra de "rain dogs":

Inside a broken clock, splashing the wine with all the rain dogs
Taxi, wed rather walk, huddle a doorway with the rain dogs
For I am a rain dog, too

Oh, how we danced and we swallowed the night
For it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh, how we danced away all of the lights
We've always been out of our minds

The rum pours strong and thin, beat out the dustman with the rain dogs
Aboard a shipwreck train, give my umbrella to the rain dogs
For I am a rain dog, too

Oh, how we danced with the rose of tralee
Her long hair black as a raven
Oh, how we danced and you whispered to me
You'll never be going back home
Oh, how we danced with the rose of tralee
Her long hair black as a raven
Oh, how we danced and you whispered to me
You'll never be going back home

Me quedo con la frase "her long hair black as a raven"...buena frase para un día lluvioso y les dejo esta rolota step rigth out de este poeta urbano disfrutenla.
