"Mas se eu pudesse, a mágoa que em mim chora, 

Contar, não a chorava como agora, 

[But if I had been able to tell the hurt 

that cries in me, I wouldn't have cried like I am now.]" 

-Florbela Espanca (1894-1930), translated by Billie J. Maciunas 

Song of the day

Feuertanz by Reliquiae

Album: Babylon (2019)

I could go on about how much I love the instruments here (violins AND bagpipes? Niiiice!) and how the dark fairytale aesthetic in the lyrics (Rumpelstilzchen, in this case) is right up my alley. But also, this song is very much “Horny on main - the playlist edition”. Just ...

“Heute back ich, morgen brau ich, und dann krieg ich dich mein Kind Ich verfolge deine Schritte bis wir ganz alleine sind Zier dich nicht, komm auf die Bühne, deines Herren braver Knecht Schmerzen sind nur Illusionen und die Feuer sind nicht echt”

(Today I bake, tomorrow I brew and then I’ll get you, my child. I follow your steps until we’re all alone. Don’t be shy, get up on the stage, your master’s obedient servant. Pain is only illusion and the fires aren’t real.)

“Nenn mich Herr und nenn mich Meister Spieler der die Fäden hält Deinen Schöpfer, deinen König Herrscher über deine Welt”

(Call me lord and call me master. Puppeteer holding the strings. Your creator, your king, ruler of your world.)
