Take me or leave me.- RENT [ Spanish Subs]

Scene from the musical RENT. Subbed in spanish.
Lyrics:
Maureen:
every single day,
i walk down the street
i hear people say 'baby so sweet'
ever since puberty
everybody stares at me
boys girls i can't help it baby
so be kind and don't lose your mind
just remember that i'm your baby
take me for what i am
who i was meant to be
and if you give a damn
take me baby
or leave me
take me baby or leave me
Maureen:
a tiger in a cage
can never see the sun
this diva needs her stage
baby lets have fun
you are the one i choose
folks would kill to fill your shoes
you love the lime light to now baby
so be mine and don't waste my time
cryin' 'oh honey bear are you still my, my, my baby?'
take me for what i am
who i was meant to be
and if you give a damn
take me baby or leave me
no way, can i be what i'm not
but hey, don't you want your girl hot?
don't fight, don't loose your head
'cause every night who's in your bed?
who?
who's in your bed?
spoken:kiss pookie
Joanne:
it won't work
i look before i leap
i love margins and discipline
i make lists in my sleep baby
whats my sin?
never quit
i follow through
i hate mess but i love you
what do with my improptu baby?
so be wise 'cause this girl satisfies
you got a prize but don't compomise
you're one lucky baby
Joanne: take me for what i am
Maureen: a control freak
Joanne: who i was meant to be
Maureen: a snob yet over attentive
Joanne: and if you give a damn
Maureen: a loveable droll geek
Joanne: take me baby or leave me
Maureen: a anal retentave
both: thats it
Joanne: the straw that breaks my back
both: i quit
Joanne: unless you take it back
both: women
Maureen: what is it about them?
both: can't live with them or without them
chorus:
both: take me for what i am
Joanne: who i was meant to be
Maureen: who i was meant to be
and if you give a damn
Joanne: and if you give a damn then
take me baby, or leave me
Maureen:take me baby, take me or la-la-la-la-la-leave me
both: take me baby or leave me
spoken: guess i'm leaving i'm gone!

[@cassidyho939]

Took me ages to realize how ironic this song is. Maureen is asking her partner to take her as she is- but when Joanne tries to respond, she gets judged.

[@ZBTFilms]

Same. It really shows how Maureen isn’t fully grown up and is being a diva while Joanne is the adult and doesn’t resort to snide remarks

[@CrisPheasant]

Is it really judgement if it's true? It's a legit question. Joanne more or less admits that she's anal retentive and you see how she dotes on Maureen through out their relationship. The only real judgement I found was when she called Joanne 'droll' because thy obviously have very different ideas about what is fun and adventurous at this point.

[@fwdthinker]

They actually balanced each other out quite nicely. I can't see Maureen being with another Maureen. I also couldn't see Joanne with another Joanne. They were different enough to keep the other from being too wild or too serious. Plus, neither one was afraid to call the other out. LOL!

[@shadowangel6359]

Think it's meant to show off the chaotic nature of their relationship.

[@aeris44]

I love Maureen, but she is the one that basically proposed to Joanne in the movie. Joanne IMO is acting completely rational in this. BUT I still live for their voices in this, I’m not mad.

[@W0rkf4rt]

does it matter, what the gender of the people in the end there are relationships like this in every scale of the spectrum where people can try to change the way their partner acts, and behaves instead of embracing them for who they are. Just as there are relationships where people accept their partner for who they are. At the end of the day if you love someone you should love them for who they are but you should also find a point where if it upsets you, that you talk it out with them.

Justin Simon welll it’s to be fair it’s a reference to the stereotype image of the zodiac signs.

The nature of these signs are in my opinion symbolized in this video

both are kinda at fault. maureen is a free-spirited, sexual woman who loves attention. Joanne is a very modest, loving yet strict and cautious lover. both will have their canines at each others throats but really love each other but Joanne fears maureen will wander away with another and maureen really loves attention, even flirty and will get it no matter what.

[@jasonbolding3481]

@@empressfagiana8293 what fair point ? That she has no control over her flirting and cheating

[@Schoolgirl325]

@@jasonbolding3481I think Maureen is the main one at fault for constantly breaking her word to be faithful to Joann throughout their relationship, though. The only thing that Joann might have been able to do a bit better was making it more clear from the very beginning that she wouldn’t tolerate Maureen being non-monogamous in a serious romantic/sexual relationship with her. From the way they are arguing in this song, it sounds like Maureen expects for her infidelity to be ignored by Joann when she gaslights/guilt trips her by calling her “controlling,” “obsessive-compulsive,” and “paranoid” for being reasonably upset about her flirting with other women after promising to be faithful to her. From her whole “Tango Maureen” number with Mark, it sounds like she’s initially being in-denial about her feelings of betrayal, irritation, and suspicion over Maureen’s loyalty to her. Then, Mark opening up to her about how difficult it was trying to date Maureen exclusively because she refused to commit to him in the past after he asked, gives her more confidence to open up about her similar frustrations with Maureen in their relationship. I have a feeling that Joann had already made it known to Maureen that she didn’t like her infidelity many times before, but I also think that she let Maureen off the hook too easily all those times. I don’t think Maureen is able to really get that her unwillingness to honestly commit to Joann has serious consequences until she does it and Joann finally refuses to tolerate it anymore by breaking up with her.
