Kirsty MacColl - In These Shoes?

Πριν 7 χρόνια στις 18 Δεκεμβρίου 2000 χάθηκε με τραγικό τρόπο η Kirsty MacColl. Το In These Shoes? βρισκόταν στο τελευταίο της album "Tropical Brainstorm " [2000].
Τις 3 περασμένες χρονιές το Fairytale of New York που ήταν προϊόν συνεργασίας της με τους The Pogues ψηφίστηκε σαν το αγαπημένο χριστουγεννιάτικο τραγούδι των τηλεθεατών του μουσικού καναλιού VH1.

I once met a man with a sense of adventure
He was dressed to thrill wherever he went
He said lets make love on a mountain top
Under the stars on a big hard rock
I said in these shoes?
I dont think so
I said honey, lets do it here.

So Im sitting at a bar in guadalajara
In walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes
He said Ive got as powerful horse outside
Climb on the back, Ill take you for a ride
I know a little place, we can get there for the break of day.
I said in these shoes?
No way, jose
I said honey, lets stay right here.

No le gusta caminar. no puede montar a caballo
(I dont like to dance, I cant ride a horse)
Como se puede bailar? es un escandolo
(how can I dance? its a scandal)

Then I met an englishman
Oh he said
Wont you walk up and down my spine,
It makes me feel strangely alive.
I said in these shoes?
I doubt youd survive.
I said honey, lets do it.
Lets stay right here.
