Letra y Significado de Matilda Mother, Pink Floyd


wikiw opina:

La letra cita fragmentos de cuentos de hadas leídos de un libro al cantante por su madre ("leer (ing) el negro garabateado", refiriéndose a escribir en un libro como lo ve un niño), y en el coro él le implora que "dime más". "Matilda Mother" representa un tema común en la obra de Barrett: su nostalgia por la infancia y la conciencia de que no se puede recuperar.

There was a king who ruled the land.
his majesty was in command.
with silver eyes the scarlet eagle
showers silver on the people.
oh mother, tell me more.
Why'd'ya have to leave me there
hanging in my infant air
waiting?
you only have to read the lines
they're scribbly black and everything shines.
Across the stream with wooden shoes
with bells to tell the king the news
a thousand misty riders climb up
higher once upon a time.
Wandering and dreaming
the words have different meaning.
yes they did.
For all the time spent in that room
the doll's house, darkness, old perfume
and fairy stories held me high on
clouds of sunlight floating by.
oh mother, tell me more
tell me more.
aaaaaaaah
aaaaaaaah
aaaaaaaah
