"Raising Cain" in lyrics
Hazbin Hotel (OST) - Addict (pilot episode)
I'm addicted, I'm dependent
Looking awesome, feeling helpless
And I know I'm raising Cain by every highway in hell
Maybe things won't be so terrible inside this hotel
I'm addicted, I'm dependent
Looking awesome, feeling helpless
And I know I'm raising Cain by every highway in hell
Maybe things won't be so terrible inside this hotel
Elton John - The Bitch is Back
I was justified when I was five
Raising Cain, I spit in your eye
Times are changing, now the poor get fat
Harry Belafonte - Homme intelligent (femme plus intelligente)
Lorsqu'il s'y est installé, Ève se mettait à errer.
Nombreuse sont les nuits qu'il passait en douleur.
Aussi souvent qu'Ève le pouvait, elle élevait Caïn.1
- 1. J'ai choisit de traduire cet idiome mot pour mot pour attirer l'attention au jeu de mot dans les paroles anglaises. Caïn était sûrement élever par ses parents, Adam et Ève, et les mots anglais "raising Cain" peut être comprise ainsi. Mais ces mots sont plus souvent, en fait presque toujours, un idiome anglais qui, selon reverso, se traduit par "faire un grand vacarme." Mais même cette traduction ne capte pas complètement les sous-entendus de l'idiome anglais. L'implication est qu'elle cherchait son plaisir avec vigueur. Et maintenant tu ne rit pas. C'est dommage. L'humour ne se traduit jamais et l'explication fait fuir l'humour au lieu de l'accentuer, n'importe quand que tu l'expliques en n'importe quelle langue. Je t'en prie de me pardonner. Crois-moi, c'est hilarant. Je te souhaite des rires la prochaine fois que tu lis ou écoutes la chanson.

Woke up in my rocking chair
Holding a beer in my hand
Johnny Cash - Down There by the Train
There's a place I know where the train goes slow
Where the sinner can be washed in the blood of the lamb
There's a river by the trestle down by sinner's grove
Down where the willow and the dogwood grow
Tom Waits - Down There by the Train
Well, I've never asked forgiveness and I've never said a prayer
Never given of myself, never truly cared
I've left the ones who loved me and I'm still raising Cain
I've taken the low road and if you've done the same

Then came a little break to get blinded with red wine and grilled boars and the flamenco began. Since the romans back then were ruling the Hispalis area and had a branch in Santiponce which was called Italica back then, they got interested to the flamenco singing in such way that there was no party without its part of flamenco. Back then in Rome they liked a lot the Fandangus Onubensus, I mean the Huelva fandango, specially when it was sung by the Toronjos Filio 1 who were some artists the crowd fought over.
Another thing they loved was the dancing of the Checoslovacorum.2 Everytime she was going, the Caesar sent her lions, camels, and slaves as a gift because the naughty Caesar had a...you know what I mean, and the Checoslovacorum wasn't falling for him because she had a you know what I mean with an olive picker of La Mancha. Since the Caesar was crossing the line, the dancer used to leave him an eye like a carpet. The Caesar guardians to ass lick him came out to defend him and this was ending like raising Cain which definitively was what Tiberius the restless wanted, to have lots of atmosphere. After the fights, they were bringing more wine and grilled boar to the yell of "Prorrogati cachondeo" which meant "Let's keep the party alive"
You step into the light
Breaking horses, raising cain heading for the hills
The best day ever just got better, it gets better still

I look like Abel but I′m raising Cain
War and money burning all the time
