NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS: WHERE THE WILD ROSES GROW

They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day

From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
As she stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the colour of the roses
They grew down the river, all bloody and wild


When he knocked on my door and entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
He wiped the tears that ran down my face

They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day

On the second day I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
I said, 'Do you know where the wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free?'


On the second day he came with a single rose
Said: 'Will you give me your loss and your sorrow?'
I nodded my head, as I layed on the bed
He said, 'If I show you the roses will you follow?'

They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day

On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
As I kissed her goodbye, I said, 'All beauty must die'
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth


They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
LÀ NEL GIARDINO DEI SALICI

Là nel giardino dei salici
Ci incontrammo io e il mio amore ‎
E come iniziammo ad amoreggiare‎
Il mio amore cadde addormentato ‎

Avevo una bottiglia di vino drogato ‎
Di cui il mio amore non sapeva nulla
E così ho intossicato quella cara ragazza
Laggiù vicino all’argine

La pugnalai con la mia lama
Fu una notte di sangue‎
La buttai nel fiume‎
Fu orribile a vedersi

Mio padre mi diceva spesso ‎
Che il denaro mi avrebbe reso libero ‎
E così ho ucciso quella cara ragazza ‎
Il cui nome era Rose Connelly

Ed ora [il mio vecchio] siede sulla porta di casa
Asciugandosi gli occhi dal pianto
Ed attende che il suo unico amato figlio
Salga ‎sull’alto patibolo

La mia vita correva sotto il sole ‎
Ma ecco, ora l’inferno mi aspetta ‎
Perchè ho ucciso quella cara ragazza ‎
Il cui nome era Rose Connelly‎
