of course, it is not an "official" translation of the title, but that is what I understand, according to some information I have found on the web:

"This is a tribute to a soul food restaurant Jim Morrison ate at on Venice Beach called Olivia's. Morrison often stayed too late at Olivia's, where he liked the food because it reminded him of home and warmed his "soul." They often kicked him out so they can close, thus lines like: "let me sleep all night, in your soul kitchen."

I hope this helps! :)

Me parece que hace referencia al ambiente caliente que existe en la cocina....

... Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I'll wander baby
Stumblin' in the neon groves ...

Me parece que toda la estrofa no se refiere literalmente a una "cocina", precisamente....!

personalmente creo que la pauta es \"turn me out\"

In my understanding, the phrase is literal (with some metaphorical undertones from the concept of soul food itself) ... a place where he feels completely comfortable.

Este vínculo quizá te ayuda:

More than any other genre of popular american music, soul music is the result of the combination and merging of previous styles and substyles in the 50's and 60's. Broadly speaking, soul comes from gospel and blues, two afro-american musical styles. Blues was mainly a musical style that praised the fleshly desire whereas gospel was more oriented toward spiritual inspiration. This opposition which gave birth to soul will reveal its wide ranging and immensely diverse style that we found in the passion, pride and optimism that performers rarely showed so strongly.


Yo diría que la "cocina del Soul" es donde se produce esta música, donde nace el fenómeno, donde nace.

La cocina es el espacio físico/ el lugar donde se preparan los alimentos para nutrir nuestro cuerpo, pero nuestra alma también necesita alimentarse...Y es, en este sentido, que se habla de "alimento para el espíritu" / "alimento para el alma" / "alimento para la mente" cuando nos nutrimos de forma espiritual, mediante la literatura, la poesía, y en definitiva, el arte, en todas sus manifestaciones. El término "soul kitchen", en mi opinión, hace referencia al lugar donde se gesta cualquier tipo de creación, la cual, posteriormente, servirá de alimento espiritual/inspiración a quien se identifique / conecte con ella.
