Letra de
Cry Baby Cry

La canción Cry Baby Cry fue compuesta por John Lennon, con una pequeña contribución de Paul McCartney, y es una de las pistas en el Álbum Blanco de los Beatles, lanzado en 1968. La canción refleja la fascinación de Lennon por el surrealismo y el uso de imágenes de cuentos de hadas para comentar sobre cuestiones más profundas. La inspiración vino de un comercial de radio para un juego de mesa, que tenía el eslogan Llora bebé llora, haz que tu madr ... e compre. Lennon transformó esto en una canción que mezcla un sentido de inocencia infantil con un toque de desencanto. Ver más [+]



Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better

The king of Marigold was in the kitchen
Cooking breakfast for the queen
The queen was in the parlour playing piano
For the children of the king

Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry

The king was in the garden picking flowers
For a friend who came to play
The queen was in the playroom painting pictures
For the children's holiday

Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry

The duchess of Kircaldy always smiling
And arriving late for tea
The duke was having problems with a message
At the local bird and bee

Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry

At twelve o'clock a meeting round the table
For a seance in the dark
With voices out of nowhere put on specially
By the children for a lark

Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry

Cry, cry cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry

Can you take me back where I came from, can you take me back?
Can you take me back where I came from, brother can you take me back?
Can you take me back?
Oh can you take me where I came from, can you take me back?
