Microflora Lyrics
This song was really hard to transcribe, but I did my best. If anyone else has another (more accurate) interpretation, I'd appreciate it.
The second stanza is really difficult, and makes almost no sense as it is.
The faux Spanish at the end is equally hard to understand.
This mornin' mama hooked me up with hotcakes and buttered toast with jam Made me say "Damn, what a lucky man I am" Mama can we hook up again
That evening the cat was in the window, the sun was barely settin' on the barn You made me lazy no harm could ever come to me Could't get out of bed or your arms
That night we had to find the places that would serve us some cervesas So we took 'em to a Mexican bar We kept it rollin' although barely able we danced on the table 'till dawn
My microflora quiero uno beso a la vida buena (x3)
This mornin' mama hooked me up with hotcakes and buttered toast with jam Made me say "Damn, what a lucky man I am" Mama can we hook up again
That evening the cat was in the window, the sun was barely settin' on the barn You made me lazy no harm could ever come to me Could't get out of bed or your arms
That night we had to find the places that would serve us some cervesas So we took 'em to a Mexican bar We kept it rollin' although barely able we danced on the table 'till dawn
My microflora quiero uno beso a la vida buena (x3)
Thanks so much! I've edited the lyrics accordingly.
A rough translation for quiero uno beso a la vida buena is:
I want a kiss from the beautiful life. Or I want to kiss the good life.
Or, perhaps more creatively, I want to enjoy life to its fullest.
The great question is, what is a microflora?
A micro-brewed beer? Or, as the dictionary suggests, a microscopic plant life? Or "my little flower"? Perhaps a nickname for his 'mama' ?
Mitchell translated it to me as "I want a taste of the good life." Not speaking spanish, I may have typed it wrong.
Microflora is the beneficial bacteria and such that live in your intestinal tract and help digest your food.
Love all the interpretations of these. This is a great idea for a website!
The idea behind the spanish part was supposed to be "My Micro Flora (My little Flower), Quiero uno beso a la vida buena (I wanna kiss and the good life) - course I'm not spanish and it's not exactly correct, but again it was our interpretation of the words. A personal inside joke between two girls, a cat, some beer and me!
