Lang, con especial atención a la “versión canónica” que hiciese Jeff Buckley y que, de hecho, [...]

They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
As she stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the colour of the roses
They grew down the river, [...]

It goes on and on and on [...]
