Hay un misterio, un misterio que no se acaba, algo de nostalgia y una historia.
She lived on the curve in the road in an old tar paper shack.
On the south side of the town on the wrong side of the tracks.
Sometimes on the way into town we'd say,
"mother can we stop and give her a ride?"
Sometimes we did but her hands flew from her side.
Wild eyed crazy Mary.
Down a long dirt road past the Parson's place.
The old blue car we used to race
A little country store with a sign tacked to the side
Said 'NO L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G ALLOWED'
Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd.
Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it around.
Take a bottle drink it down. Drink it... Pass it around. Pass it a...
A-take a bottle drink it down. Pass it... Pass it a... Pass it around.
One night thunder cracked. Mercy backed outside her windowsill.
Dreamed I was flying high above the trees over the hills
Looked down into the house of Mary.
Bare bulb on Newspaper covered walls
And Mary rising up above it all.
Next morning on the way into town
saw some skid marks and followed them around
Over the curve, through the fields, into the house of Mary
That what you fear the most could meet you halfway
That what you fear the most could meet you halfway.
Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it around.
Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it... Pass it around. Pass it a...
Last night, she said:
"Oh, baby, I feel so down.
Oh, it turns me off,
When I feel left out"
So I, I turned 'round:
"Oh baby, don't care no more,
I know this for sure,
I'm walkin' out that door"
Well, I've been in town for just 'bout fifteen oh minutes now
And Baby, I feel so down
See I don't know why!
I keep walkin' for miles.
People they don't understand
No, girlfriends, they can't understand
Your Grandsons, they won't understand
On top of this, I ain't ever gonna understand...
Last night, she said:
"Oh, baby, don't feel so down.
Oh, it turns me off,
When I feel left out"
So I, I turned 'round:
"Oh, baby, gonna be alright"
It was a great big lie
'Cause I left that night”
And, people they don't understand
No, girlfriends, they don't understand
In spaceships they won't understand
And me, I ain't ever gonna understand...
Last night, she said:
"Oh, baby, I feel so down.
See, it turns me off,
When I feel left out"
So I, I turned 'round:
"Oh little girl I don't care no more.
I know this for sure,
I'm walking out that door," yeah.
A continuación postearé esta canción en dos versiones: La original de Jimmi Hendrix y un cover realizado por John Mayer para su tercer álbum de estudio (Continuum)
Todo un clásico del señor Cat Stevens(ahora Yusuf Islam), de verdad una canción a-temporal que refleja una realidad presente en prácticamente todas las relaciones padre e hijo, la búsqueda de aprobación, la dificultad de comunicación y el duro proceso de convertirse en adulto con ideas y creencias propias más allá de las enseñanzas de nuestros padres. De verdad un clásico:
Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
if you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
(Son-- Away Away Away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone - no)
Son
All the times that I cried,
keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them They know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(Father-- Stay Stay Stay, Why must you go and
make this decision alone?)
Traducción:
Padre:
No es momento de hacer un cambio,
Relájate, tranquilízate.
Todavía eres joven, ese es tu defecto
Hay tanto que tienes que saber.
Encuentra una chica, sienta cabeza
Si quieres puedes casarte
Mírame, soy viejo, pero soy feliz.
Una vez yo fui como eres ahora, y se que no es
fácil estar tranquilo cuando encuentras
que algo está pasando
Pero tomate tu tiempo, piensa mucho,
Piensa en todo lo que has obtenido
Porque tú estarás aquí mañana,
pero tus sueños quizás no.
Hijo:
¿Como puedo tratar de explicar,
si cuando lo hago el se aparta de nuevo?
Siempre ha sido lo mismo, la misma vieja historia.
Desde el momento que pude hablar me ordenaron escuchar.
Ahora hay un camino y se que tengo que irme.
Se que tengo que irme.
Padre:
No es momento de hacer un cambio,
Relájate, tranquilízate.
Todavía eres joven, ese es tu defecto
Hay tanto que tienes que saber.
Encuentra una chica, sienta cabeza
Si quieres puedes casarte
Mírame, soy viejo, pero soy feliz.
(Hijo: Lejos, lejos, lejos, tengo que tomar esta decisión
Yo solo - no)
Hijo:
Todas las veces que lloré,
guardando todo lo que sé adentro,
es difícil, pero es más difícil ignorarlo
Si ellos tuvieran razón, estaría de acuerdo,
pero ellos no me conocen.
Ahora hay un camino y se que tengo que irme.
Se que tengo que irme Se que tengo que irme.
(Padre: Quédate, quédate, quédate, ¿Por qué debes irte
Y tomar esta decisión tú solo?)
It's nothing, It's so normal
You just stand there
I could say so much,
But I don't go there cuz I don't want to
I was thinking if you were lonely
Maybe we could leave here and no one would know
At least not to the point that we would think so.
Everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking about somebody else
It's best if we all keep it under our heads
I couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling the way I do,
But I'm lonely now, and I don't know how
To get it back to good.
This don't mean that, you own me
This ain't no good, in fact it's phony as hell
But things worked out just like you wanted too
If you see me out you don't know me
Try to turn your head, try to give me some room
To figure out just what I'm going to do.
And everyone here, hates everyone here for doing just like they do
It's best if we all keep this quiet instead
And I couldn't tell, why everyone here was doing me like they do
But I'm sorry now, and I don't know how
To get it back to good.
Everyone here, is wondering what it's like to be with somebody else
Everyone here's to blame Everyone here gets caught up in the pleasure of the pain
Everyone here hides shades of shame
But looking inside we're the same, we're the same
And we're all grown now,
But we don't know how
To get it back to good.
Everyone here
Knows everyone here is thinking 'bout somebody else
It's best if we all keep this under our heads
I couldn't tell
If anyone here was feeling the way I do
But it's over now,
And I don't know how,
It's over now,
There's no getting back to good.
Esta balada es la pista final del exitoso primer álbum de la banda de rock alternativo Matchbox Twenty que lleva por nombre "Yourself or Someone Like You" (Tu mismo o alguien como tú). Disco que trata temas relacionados con la soledad, el abuso psicológico, la humillación y la ira pero con un sonido melodioso y profundas e impactantes vocales y que cierra con broche de oro en esta canción donde una guitarra acústica se una la voz de Rob Thomas para interpretar la última pieza: Hang.
She grabs her magazines
she packs her things and she goes
she leaves the pictures hanging on the wall
she burns all her notes and she knows
she's been here too few years
to feel this old.
He smokes his cigarette
he stays outside 'til it's gone
if anybody ever had a heart,
he wouldn't be alone, he knows
she's been here too few years to be gone.
And we always say
it would be good to go away, someday
but if there's nothing there to make things change
if it's the same for you I'll just hang.
The trouble understand
is she got reasons he don't
funny how he couldn't see at all
'til she grabbed up her coat, and she goes
she's been here too few years
to take it all in stride
But still it's much too long
to let her go (you let her go)
And we always say
it would be good to go away, someday
but if there's nothing there to make things change
if it's the same for you I'll just hang
the same for you I'll always hang
well I always say
it would be good to go away
but if things don't work out like we think
and there's nothing there to ease this ache
but if there's nothing there to make things change
if it's the same for you I'll just hang.
Esta canción, según el vocalista de The goo goo dolls, es sobre una mujer adicta a la heroína y de cómo su pareja trata desesperadamente de salvarla, lo cual ha llevado a especular que se trata de la esposa del bajita de la banda (Robby Takac) quien murió por una sobredosis de heroína.
Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
And you're not thinking about tomorrow
'Cause you were the same as me
But on your knees
A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon
That was your womb
Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer
You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never knew
What's the things they never showed you
That swallowed the light from the sun
Inside your room
Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer
And there's no time left for losin'
When you stand they fall
Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
All because I'm
Comin' down the years turn over
And angels fall without you there
And I'll go and lead you home and
All because I'm
All because I'm
And I'll become
What you became to me
Esta canción la escuché por primera vez hace muy poco tiempo y es de esas canciones que desde la primera vez que las escuchas te gustan y no puedes sacar de tu mente, se llama How to say a life y es interpretada por The fray:
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came.
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life.
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
pray to God he hears you
And prey to god he hears you.
And where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life.
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours, grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came.
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life.
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life.
Traducción:
Paso uno dices: Necesitamos hablar
Él camina y dices siéntate es sólo una conversación
Él te sonríe amablemente
Lo miras amablemente
Hay una especie de ventana a tu derecha
Y mientras él va hacia la izquierda tu permaneces a la derecha
Entre las líneas del miedo y la culpa
Y empiezas a preguntarte por qué has venido.
¿Donde me equivoqué?, Perdí a un amigo
En algún lugar de la amargura
Y podría haberme quedado contigo la noche entera
Si hubiera sabido como salvar una vida.
Le haces saber que tienes mas experiencia
Porque después de todo la tienes
Tratas de atravesar su defensa
Sin admitir inocencia
Dejas caer una lista de las cosas que están mal
Las cosas que siempre le dijiste
Le oras a Dios para que te escuche
Y persigues a Dios para que él te oiga.
¿Donde me equivoqué?, Perdí a un amigo
En algún lugar de la amargura
Y podría haberme quedado contigo la noche entera
Si hubiera sabido como salvar una vida.
Mientras el comienza a alzar su voz
Tú bajas la tuya, le concedes una última opción
Sigue hasta que pierdas el camino
O termina con aquellos a los que has seguido
Él hará una de las dos cosas
Admitirá todo
O sólo dirá que ya no es el mismo
Y preguntarás a preguntar por qué has venido.
¿Donde me equivoqué?, Perdí a un amigo
En algún lugar de la amargura
Y podría haberme quedado contigo la noche entera
Si hubiera sabido como salvar una vida
Si hubiera sabido como salvar una vida.
La que publicaré en esta ocasión es, actualmente, mi canción favorita del quinto álbum de estudio de la banda californiana Counting Crows que lleva por nombre Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings (noches de Sábado y mañanas de Domingo). Esta nueva producción viene a ser un disco conceptual que gira en torno a temas referentes al pecado y el arrepentimiento y esta dividido en dos secciones: Una primera mitad llena de influencias del rock, guitarras eléctricas y algo de distorsión y una segunda mitad mucho más acústica e influenciada por sonidos country, donde Adam Duritz prueba, una vez más, que hay mucho más en esta banda que Mr. Jones. A continuación las letras de When I Dream of Michelangelo:
Well you know I don't like you
But you wanna be my friend
Well, there are bodies on the ceiling
And they're fluttering their wings
It's ok I'm angry
But you'll never understand
When you dream of Michelangelo
They hang above your hands.
And I know that she is not my friend
And I know cause there she goes
Walking on my skin again.
And I can't why you'd want to talk to me
When your vision of America is crystalline and clean
I want a white bread life
Just something ignorant and plain,
But from the walls of Michelangelo I'm dangling again.
And I know that she is not my friend
And I know cause there she goes
Walking on my skin again and again.
Saturn on a line
A sun afire on strings and wires
To spin above my head and make it right
But any time you like
You can catch a sight of angel eyes all emptiness and infinite.
And I dream of Michelangelo when I'm lying in my bed
I see god upon the ceiling I see angels overhead
And he seems so close as he reaches out his hand
But we are never quite as close as we are led to understand.
And I know that she is not my friend
And I know cause there she goes
Walking on my skin again and again.
La piel de mi niña
huele a caramelo
y al mango dulcito
que se da en mi pueblo
La piel de mi niña
es mi propia piel
sólo que en la vida
hay sudores viejos
Mi piel chamuscada
ardida en deseos
y la piel de mi niña
huele a caramelo.
Si hay que hacer la guerra
la guerra se hará
para ver los niños
felices jugar
Y a la gente vieja
hablar de la paz
que después la guerra
estará demás
que después la guerra
estará demás
que después la guerra
estará demás.
Pirulí, giraluna
pirulí, pirulero
que la piel de mi niña
huele a caramelo
dormite mi niña
despierten los viejos
busquen la alborada
por un mundo nuevo
Pirulí, giraluna
por la misma tierra
pirulí, pirulero
por el mismo cielo.
La piel de mi niña
es piel de mi pueblo
es mi propia piel
y del pueblo vengo
Con sus niños viejos
sus niños obreros
sin un sólo mango
sin un caramelo
sin un sólo mango
sin un caramelo.
Pirulí, giraluna
pirulí, pirulero
que la piel de mi niña
huele a caramelo
despierten los niños
despierten los viejos
corral la alborada
por un mundo nuevo
Es bravo tío tigre
pero tío conejo
dará a cada niño
un lindo lucero
y también un mango
y un caramelo.
Pirulí, giraluna
pirulí, pirulero
que la piel de mi niña
huele a caramelo
pirulí, giraluna
por la misma tierra
pirulí, pirulero
bajo el mismo cielo.
Ojalá que las hojas no te toquen el cuerpo cuando caigan
para que no las puedas convertir en cristal.
Ojalá que la lluvia deje de ser milagro que baja por tu cuerpo.
Ojalá que la luna pueda salir sin ti.
Ojalá que la tierra no te bese los pasos.
Ojalá se te acabé la mirada constante,
la palabra precisa, la sonrisa perfecta.
Ojalá pase algo que te borre de pronto:
una luz cegadora, un disparo de nieve. Ojalá por lo menos que me lleve la muerte,
para no verte tanto, para no verte siempre
en todos los segundos, en todas las visiones:
ojalá que no pueda tocarte ni en canciones.
Ojalá que la aurora no dé gritos que caigan en mi espalda.
Ojalá que tu nombre se le olvide a esa voz.
Ojalá las paredes no retengan tu ruido de camino cansado.
Ojalá que el deseo se vaya tras de ti,
a tu viejo gobierno de difuntos y flores.
Ojalá se te acabé la mirada constante,
la palabra precisa, la sonrisa perfecta.
Ojalá pase algo que te borre de pronto:
una luz cegadora, un disparo de nieve. Ojalá por lo menos que me lleve la muerte,
para no verte tanto, para no verte siempre
en todos los segundos, en todas las visiones:
ojalá que no pueda tocarte ni en canciones
ojalá pase algo que te borre de pronto:
una luz cegadora, un disparo de nieve.
Ojalá por lo menos que me lleve la muerte,
para no verte tanto, para no verte siempre
en todos los segundos, en todas las visiones
ojalá que no pueda tocarte ni en canciones.
I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm
He came around and he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know
Or seem to care what your heart is for
Well I don't know him anymore
There's nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's fine I'm torn.
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn.
So I guess the fortune teller's right
I should have seen just what was there
And not some holy light
But you crawled beneath my veins
And now I don't care
I have no luck
I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things
That I can't touch I'm torn.
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn...
Torn.
There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's right I'm torn.
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see
The perfect sky is torn.
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I'm ashamed
Bound and broken on the floor
You're a little late
I'm already torn...
Torn.
No, no, no basta rezar
hacen falta muchas cosas
para conseguir la paz.
No, no, no basta rezar
hacen falta muchas cosas
para conseguir la paz.
Y rezan de buena fe
y rezan de corazón
pero también reza el piloto
cuando monta en el avión
para ir a bombardear
a los niños del Vietnam
para ir a bombardear
a los niños del Vietnam.
No, no, no basta rezar
hacen falta muchas cosas
para conseguir la paz.
No, no, no basta rezar
hacen falta muchas cosas
para conseguir la paz.
Nada se puede lograr
si no hay revolución
reza el rico, reza el amo
y te maltratan al peón
reza el rico, reza el amo
y te maltratan al peón.
No, no, no basta rezar
hacen falta muchas cosas
para conseguir la paz.
No, no, no basta rezar
hacen falta muchas cosas
para conseguir la paz.
No, no, no basta rezar
hacen falta muchas cosas
para conseguir la paz.
No, no, no basta rezar
hacen falta muchas cosas
para conseguir la paz.
En el mundo no habrá paz
mientras haya explotación
del hombre por el hombre
y exista desigualdad
del hombre por el hombre
y exista desigualdad.
No, no, no basta rezar
hacen falta muchas cosas
para conseguir la paz.
No, no, no basta rezar
hacen falta muchas cosas
para conseguir la paz
Cuando el pueblo se levante
y que todo haga cambiar
ustedes dirán conmigo
no bastaba con rezar
ustedes dirán conmigo
no bastaba con rezar.
No, no, no basta rezar
hacen falta muchas cosas
para conseguir la paz.
That I would be good even if I did nothing
that I would be good even if I got the thumbs down
that I would be good if I got and stayed sick
that I would be good even if I gained ten pounds.
That I would be fine even if I went bankrupt
that I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth
that I would be great if I was no longer queen
that I would be grand if I was not all knowing.
That I would be loved even when I numb myself
that I would be good even when I'm overwhelmed
that I would be loved even when I was fuming
that I would be good even if I was clingy.
That I would be good even if I lost sanity that I would be good whether with or without you.
Con toda la ira, la crudeza y la fuerza del grunge nos llega este cover de Pale Blue Eyes, original de la Velvet Underground, realizado en vivo por la banda encabezada por Courtney Love:
Some...
Sometimes I get so sad
Sometimes I feel almost heavenly but
Baby, I mostly feel mad
Yeah, lately I just feel bad
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes.
It was good what we did yesterday
And I'd do it again
The fact that you're insane
Only proves that you're my best friend
Well, I will never fuck anyone else again
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes.
Thought of you as my mountain top
I thought of you as my peak
Thought of you as everything
That I had and I couldn't keep
Yeah, that I had and I couldn't keep
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes.
Yeah, you explode inside of me
Yeah, you explode my heart
I never had nothing anywhere
So the end is where I start
'Cause I'm real and that's all that matters
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes.
Can you remember when,we used to cry
But never in distress
Or can you picture when
We used to pride ourselves on neatness
I can’t understand,what you meant to me
You made me wild, then you tied my hands.
Can you remember when
we used to laugh
At those mistakes we made
Or can you picture then
How we used to drive
And never reach the end.
'Cause I can’t understand,
What you meant to me
You made me wild,
Then you tied my hands,
You tied my hands.
But since you went away
Made me find
I have nothing to say.
Since you went away
Made me find
I have nothing to say.
'Cause I can’t understand,
What you meant to me
You made me wild,
Then you tied my hands.
'Cause I can’t understand,
What you meant to me
You made me wild,
Then you tied my hands.
You tied my hands
Tied my hands
You tied my hands
You tied my hands
You tied my hands.
I fell into the ocean
When you became my wife
I risked it all aganist the sea
To have a better life
Marie you're the wild blue sky
And men do foolish things
You turn kings into beggars
And beggars into kings.
Pretend that you owe me nothing
And all the world is green
We can bring back the old days again
And all the world is green.
The fase forgives the mirror
The worm forgives the plow
The questions begs the answer
Can you forgive me somehow
Maybe when our story's over
We'll go where it's always spring
The band is playing our song again
And all the world is green.
Pretend that you owe me nothing
And all the world is green
We can bring back the old days again
And all the world is green.
The moon is yellow silver
Oh the things that summer brings
It's a love you'd kill for
And all the world is green.
He is balancing a diamond
On a blade of grass
The dew will settle on our grave
When all the world is green.
If you close the door
Just turn off the lights now
The world looks better into the dark
Between the curtains somebody's watching
Oh sail me to the moon
Before it's too late.
So don't kiss me goodbye, baby
Don't kiss me goodbye, baby, baby, baby.
I turn around since too much time
Those railroad tracks
Will swallow my mind
I try so hard to stop wasting my life
If only I could just make you mine.
Don't kiss me goodbye, baby
Don't kiss me goodbye, baby, baby, baby.
Don't kiss me goodbye, baby, baby,
Don't kiss me goodbye, baby, baby.
Sometimes I feel so happy,
Sometimes I feel so sad.
Sometimes I feel so happy,
But mostly you just make me mad.
Baby, you just make me mad.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Thought of you as my mountain top,
Thought of you as my peak.
Thought of you as everything,
I've had but couldn't keep.
I've had but couldn't keep.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
If I could make the world as pure
And strange as what I see,
I'd put you in the mirror,
I put in front of me.
I put in front of me.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Skip a life completely.
Stuff it in a cup.
She said, Money is like us in time,
It lies, but can't stand up.
Down for you is up.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
It was good what we did yesterday.
And I'd do it once again.
The fact that you are married,
Only proves, you're my best friend.
But it's truly, truly a sin.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Que triste, se oye la lluvia
en los techos de cartón
que triste vive mi gente
en las casas de cartón.
Viene bajando el obrero
casi arrastrando los pasos
por el peso del sufrir.
Mira que mucho sufrir
mira que pesa el sufrir.
Arriba, deja la mujer preñada
abajo está la ciudad
y se pierde en su maraña
hoy es lo mismo que ayer
es su vida sin mañana.
"Ahí cae la lluvia,
viene, viene el sufrimiento
pero si la lluvia pasa,
¿Cuando pasa el sufrimiento?
¿Cuando viene la esperanza?"
Niños color de mi tierra
con sus mismas cicatrices
millonarios de lombrices
Y, por eso:
Que tristes viven los niños
en las casas de cartón
que alegres viven los perros
casa del explotador.
Usted no lo va a creer
pero hay escuelas de perros
y les dan educación;
pá que no muerdan los diarios
pero el patrón,
hace años, muchos años
que está mordiendo al obrero
oh, oh, uhum, uhum.
Que triste se oye la lluvia
en las casas de cartón
que lejos pasa la esperanza
de los techos de cartón.
Los que mueren por la vida
no pueden llamarse muertos
y a partir de este momento
es prohibido llorarlos.
Que se callen los redobles
en todos campanarios
vamos pu' pa'l carajo
que para amanecer
no hacen falta gallinas
sino cantar de gallos.
Ellos nos serán bandera
para abrazarnos con ella
y el que no la pueda alzar
que abandone la pelea
no es tiempo de recular
ni de vivir de leyendas.
Canta canta compañero
que tu voz sea disparo
que con las manos del pueblo
no habrá canto desarmado.
Canta canta compañero

que no calle tu canción.
Si te falta bastimento
tienes ese corazón
que tiene latir de bongo
color de vino ancestral.
Viene tu cueca de lucha
cabalgando un viento austral
Canta canta compañero

Seguimos con más de The Cranberries. Que Cranberrizado estoy últimamente.
I'm not going out tonight 'cos I don't want to go
I am staying at home tonight 'cos I don't want to know
You revealed a world to me and I would never be
Dwelling in such happiness, your gift, your purity.
Eh-ee-oh, eh-ee-oh, eh-ee,oh, eh-ee-oh.
Aahh, you and me it will always be
You and me Forever be,
Eternally it will always be You and me.
Taylor, Taylor, Taylor, Taylor.
I don't pay attention to the ones who never cared
Find your own direction 'cos there's sweetness in the air
You will be the world to me and I will always be
Dwelling in this happiness, your gift, your purity.
Eh-ee-oh, eh-ee-oh, eh-ee,oh, eh-ee-oh.
Aahh, you and me it will always be
You and me Forever be,
Eternally it Will always be
You and me.
Always be You and me
Forever be, Eternally
It will always be You and me
Forever be, Eternally.
Lying in my bed again
And I cry ‘cause you're not here
Crying in my head again
And I know that it's not clear
Put your hands, put your hands
Inside my face and see that it's just you
But it's bad and it's mad
And it's making me sad
Because I can't be with you.
Be with you
Be with you
Baby I can't be with you.
Thinking back on how things were
And how we loved so well
I wanted to be the mother
of your child
And now it's just farewell.
Put your hands in my hands
And come with me
We'll find another end
And my head, and my head
On anyone's shoulder
Cause I can't be with you.
Baby I can't be with you.
Cause you're not here, you're not here
Baby I can't be with you
Cause you're not here, you're not here
And baby I'm still in love with you.
Traducción:
Acostada en mi cama otra vez
Y lloro porque no estás aquí
Llorando en mi cabeza otra vez
Y sé que no está claro
Pon tus manos, pon tus manos
En mi cara y ve que sólo eres tú
Pero es malo y disparatado
Y me está poniendo triste
Porque no puedo estar contigo.
Estar contigo
Estar contigo
Cariño no puedo estar contigo.
Pienso en cómo eran las cosas
Y cómo nos amamos
Quería ser la madre de tu hijo
Y ahora solo hay un adiós.
Pon tus manos en las mías
Y ven conmigo
Encontraremos otro final
Y mi cabeza, mi cabeza
En el hombro de cualquiera
Porque no puedo estar contigo.
Cariño no puedo estar contigo.
Porque no estás aquí, no estás aquí
Cariño no puedo estar contigo
Porque no estás aquí, no estás aquí
Y cariño todavía te amo.
Hold me now I need to feel relief
Like I never wanted anything
I suppose I'll let this go and find a reason I'll hold on to
I'm so ashamed of defeat
And I'm out of reason to believe in me
I'm out of trying to get by.
I'm so afraid of the gift you give me
I don't belong here and I'm not well
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living
Right on the wrong side of it all.
I can't face myself when I wake up
And look inside a mirror
I'm so ashamed of that thing
I suppose I'll let it go
Untill I have something more to say for me
I'm so afraid of defeat
And I'm out of reason to believe in me
I'm out of trying to defy.
I'm so afraid of the gift you give me
I don't belong here and I'm not well
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living
Right on the wrong side of it all.
Hold me now I need to feel complete
Like I matter to the one I need
I'm so afraid of the gift you give me
I don't belong here and I'm not well
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living
Right on the wrong side of it all.
Now I'm ashamed of this
I am so ashamed of this
Now I'm so ashamed of this
I am so ashamed of me...
Mientras youtubeaba esta tarde buscando diferentes versiones de Immortality (Pearl Jam) me econtré con que Seether había grabado un cover de esta canción (acá) y así me enteré de que habían lanzado un disco acústico "One Cold Night" en el 2006. La canción que posteré a continuación es el segundo track de éste album que cuenta con una perfecta ejecución por parte de la banda y una no menos poderosa y desgarradora voz de su Vocalista Shaun Morgan.
Do you think I'm faking
when i'm lying next to you
do you think that I am blind
there's nothing left for me to lose
There must be something on your mind
something lost and left behind
Do you know I’m faking now?
Do you know I’m faking
when I’m lying next to you?
Do you know that I am blind to everything you ever do?
Must be something on your mind
something lost for me to find
Do you know I’m faking?
But then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before on him
Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before, oh man.
I guess you know I’m faking
when I tell you I love you
I guess you know that I am blind
to everything you say and do
Must be something on my mind
there’s nothing left for me to hide
Do you know I’m faking?
Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before on him
Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before, oh man.
We have to succumb to the feelings we can never face
I need you. I breathe you.
I can’t go through this all again.
We have to succumb to
the feelings we can never face I need you.
I breathe you. I can’t go through this…
Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before
Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before on him
Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before, oh man
Then she told me she had a gun
she says she wants to use it on me now…
Una nota curiosa sobre este video es que la canción originalmente dice "I don't wanna stay" o "no me quiero quedar" pero Eddie al ver sorprendido la reacción del público durante su presentación cambia la letra por "I wouldn't mind if I stay" (no me importaría quedarme). Gran presentación, gran canción, gran banda, disfruten.
Vacate is the word
Vengeance has no place on me or her
Cannot find the comfort in this world
Artificial tear...vessel stabbed...next up, volunteers
Vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere
A truant finds home
And a wish to hold on
But there's a trapdoor in the sun.
Immortality...
As privileged as a whore
Victims in demand for public show
Swept out through the cracks beneath the door
Holier than thou, how?
Surrendered...executed anyhow
Scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor...
A truant finds home
And a wish to hold on too
He saw the trapdoor in the sun.
Immortality...
I cannot stop the thought
I'm running in the dark
Coming up a which way sign
All good truants must decide...
Oh, stripped and sold, mom
Auctioned forearm...
And whiskers in the sink...
Truants move on
cannot stay long
Some die just to live...
Hey, I ain't never coming home.
Hey, I'll just wander my own road.
Hey-hey, I can't meet you here tomorrow - no, no.
Say goodbye don't follow -
Misery so hollow.
Hey you, you're livin' life full throttle.
Hey you, pass me down that bottle, yeh...
Hey-hey you, you can't shake me round now.
I get so lost and don't know how, yeh...
It hurts to care, I'm goin' now.
Well I forgot my woman, lost my friends
Things I've done and where I've been,
Sleep in sweat - the mirror's cold -
Seen my face? It's growin' old -
Scared to death, no reason why
Do whatever to get me by,
Think about the things I've said
Read the page its cold and dead
An' take me home!
Yeah! Take me home!
Oh-oh... take me home
Take me home, yeah.
Take me home. Yeah, oh.
Say goodbye. Don't follow.
A pesar de que desde hace bastante tiempo tengo la discografía completa de Staind no fue sino hasta la pasada semana que "descubrí" esta canción la cual es la última pista de su primer disco independiente "Tormented". Tormented, que trata temas referentes a el dolor, el odio y la depresión; viene a ser un trabajo conceptual que gira en torno a la historia de un individuo sumido en la depresión que eventualmente comete suicidio, por lo que es sin duda alguna el disco más lúgubre (aunque no por eso de menor calidad) de la banda hasta la fecha. Sin más Four Walls:
The thoughts from my mind Command my lips say I hate you The thoughts from my mind Command my hands to cut your silken flesh The thoughts from my mind Command my feet to stomp your head The thoughts from my mind have one question... When will this ever end?
Not much to the life I live Same 4 Walls I have nothing left to give Please take it all away.... Same 4 Walls.
The thoughts from my mind Feel the pain as rats claw at my flesh The thoughts from my mind Feels the joy as the needle hits my vein The thoughts from my mind Smells the stench as shit runs down my leg The thoughts from my mind ask for sanity Now for this I beg.
Not much to the life I live Same four Walls I have nothing left to give Please take it all away.... Same four Walls.
my mind is like today. damp dark dreary as the rain falls outside beating, though it hits the ground i can feel it slipping away dying without decay dying like my soul from the inside out. i can only prey it won't be long it won't be long now it can't be long it can't be long now... help me... (where do i go from here?)
The thoughts from my mind Command my lips say I hate you The thoughts from my mind Command my hands to cut your silken flesh The thoughts from my mind Command my feet to stomp your head The thoughts from my mind have one question... WHEN WILL I BE DEAD?
Not much to the life I live Same four Walls I have nothing left to give Please take it all away.... This is the life I have to live Same four Walls. There's nothing left for me...
Hoy uso palabras de Bob Marley para tratar de ponerle un nombre a lo que siento, aunque no creo que alguna vez pueda llegar a hacerlo.
I wanna love you and treat you right;
I wanna love you every day and every night:
We'll be together with a roof right over our heads;
We'll share the shelter of my single bed;
we'll share the same room
Jah provide da bread
Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
I wanna know - wanna know - wanna know now!
I got to know - got to know - got to know now!
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I - I'm willing and able,
So I throw my cards on your table!
I wanna love you - I wanna love and treat - love and treat you right;
I wanna love you every day and every night:
We'll be together, yeah! - with a roof right over our heads;
We'll share the shelter, yeah, oh now! - of my single bed;
We'll share the same room, yeah! - Jah provide da bread
Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Wo-o-o-oah! Oh yes, I know; yes, I know - yes, I know now!
Yes, I know; yes, I know - yes, I know now!
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I - I'm willing and able,
So I throw my cards on your table!
See: I wanna love ya, I wanna love and treat ya -
love and treat ya right.
I wanna love you every day and every night:
We'll be together,yeah with a roof right over our heads!
We'll share the shelter of my single bed;
We'll share the same room, yeah! Jah provide da bread
We'll share the shelter of my single bed.
Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven...
Would you hold my hand
if I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
if I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day
'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven...
Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart, have you begging please...begging please
Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven...
Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven...
Traducción:
¿Sabrías mi nombre
Si te viera en el cielo?
¿Sería todo igual
Si te viera en el cielo?
Debo ser fuerte y seguir adelante
Porque se que no me corresponde estar aquí en el cielo…
¿Tomarías mi mano
Si te viera en el cielo?
¿Me ayudarías a levantarme
Si te viera en el cielo?
Hallaré mi camino a través de la noche y el día
Porque sé que no me puedo quedar
Aquí en el cielo…
El tiempo puede derribarte
El tiempo puede doblar tus rodillas
El tiempo puede romper tu corazón
Y ponerte a rogar por favor.
Más allá de la puerta hay paz, estoy seguro,
y sé que no habrán más lágrimas en el cielo…
¿Sabrías mi nombre
Si te viera en el cielo?
¿Sería todo igual
Si te viera en el cielo?
Debo ser fuerte y seguir adelante
Porque se que no me corresponde estar aquí en el cielo…
Hace pocos días escuché esta balada mientras veía el concierto Imagine en Cornice (Italia 2006) y desde la primera vez que la escuché me cautivó:
If I keep holding out
Will the light shine through?
Under this broken roof
It's only rain that I feel
I've been wishin' out the days
Oh oh oh
Come back.
I have been planning out
All that I'd say to you
Since you slipped away
Know that I still remain true
I've been wishin' out the days
Please say that if you hadn't have gone now
I wouldn't have lost you another way
From wherever you are
Oh oh oh oh
Come back.
And these days, they linger on, yeah, yeah
And in the night, I've been waiting for
The real possibility that I may meet you in my dreams
I go to sleep.
If I don't fall apart
Will my memory stay clear?
So you had to go
And I had to remain here
But the strangest thing today
So far away and yet you feel so close
I'm not going to question it any other way
There must be an open door for you
To come back.
And the days they linger on, yeah
And every night what I'm waiting for
Is the real possibility that I may meet you in my dreams
Sometimes you're there and you're talking back to me
Come the morning I could swear that you're next to me
And it's ok.
It's ok, it's ok.
I'll be here
Come back, come back
I'll be here
Come back, come back
I'll be here
Come back, come back.
Traducción:
¿Si sigo esperando
Brillará la luz?
Bajo este techo roto
Sólo siento lluvia
He estado contando los días
Regresa.
He estado planeando
Todo lo que te diría
Sabes que desde que te marchaste
Permanezco auténtico
He estado contando los días
Por favor di que si no te hubieras ido ahora
No te hubiera perdido
De donde sea que estés
Regresa.
Y estos días, son interminables
Y en la noche espero
La posibilidad de encontrarme contigo en mis sueños
Me voy a dormir.
¿Si no me desmorono
Mi memoria permanecerá clara?
Tú tuviste que irte
Y yo tuve que permanecer aquí
Pero lo más extraño
Es que aún estando tan distante te siento tan cerca
No voy a cuestionarlo
Debe haber una puerta abierta para ti
Para que regreses.
Y estos días, son interminables
Y en la noche espero
La posibilidad de encontrarme contigo en mis sueños
Algunas veces estás allí, hablando conmigo
Y cuando llega la mañana puedo jurar que estás a mi lado
Y está bien.
Está bien.
Yo estaré aquí
Regresa, Regresa
Yo estaré aquí
Regresa.
My friend's got a girlfriend
Man he hates that bitch
He tells me every day
He says "man I really gotta lose my chick
In the worst kind of way"
She sits on her ass
He works his hands to the bone
To give her money every payday
But she wants more dinero just to stay at home
Well my friend
You gotta say:
I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way
(now now) Why don't you get a job
Say no way, say no way ya, no way
(now now) Why don't you get a job.
I guess all his money, well it isn't enough
To keep her bill collectors at bay
I guess all his money, well it isn't enough
Cause that girl's got expensive taste.
I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way
(now now) Why don't you get a job
Say no way, say no way ya, no way
(now now) Why don't you get a job.
Well I guess it ain't easy doing nothing at all oh yeah
But hey man free rides just don't come along
every day.
(Let me tell you about my other friend now!)
My friend's got a boyfriend man and she hates that dick (and the guy!)
She tells me every day (woo! everyday now)
He wants more dinero just to stay at home (stay at home!)
Well my friend
You gotta say: (gotta say!)
I won't pay, I won't pay ya (woo), no way (no way!)
(now now) Why don't you get a job (woo - get a job!)
Say no way, say no way ya, no way
(now now) Why don't you get a job
(oh yeah!)
I won't give ya no money
I always pay
(now now) Why don't you get a job (get a job!)
Say no way, say no way ya, no way
(now now) Why don't you get a
job!
Un año, dos años, tres años, cuatro años. Los viejos hábitos son duros de matar. La noche del viernes promete unos cuantos besos, esperemos que sea suficiente...esperemos. Scott a seis pies del borde del abismo sigue creyendo que hay algo esperando por él. ¿Será muy tarde?, ¿será muy tarde? A seis pies del borde del abismo hay esperanza, ¿la habrá a un paso? Y Eddie, otra vez Eddie, siempre Eddie, y los porqués, las preguntas sin respuestas, las interrogantes que nos atormentan por el resto de nuestra vida. Luego entro en un episodio casi espiritual lleno de tranquilidad y profunda reflexión, pero sé que nunca me he perdido, que nunca me han encontrado y sé que mi presencia no hace ninguna diferencia.
Escuchando: Old Habits Die Hard, One Last Breath, Black, King Without a Crown y Mistake.
I thought I shook myself free
You see I bounce back quicker than most
But I’m half delirious, it’s too mysterious
You walk through my walls like a ghost
And I take every day at a time
I'm proud as a lion in his lair
Now there's no denying it, and no decrying it
You're all tangled up in my head.
Old habits die hard
Old soldiers just fade away
Old habits die hard
Harder than November rain
Old habits die hard
Old soldiers just fade away
Old habits die hard
Hard enough to feel the pain.
We haven't spoken in months
You see I’ve been counting the days
I dream of such humanities, such insanities
I'm lost like a kid and im late
But I’ve never taken your calls
You see, I put a block on my phone
I act like an addict, I just got to have it
I never can leave it alone.
Old habits die hard
Old soldiers just fade away
Old habits die hard
Harder than November rain
Old habits die hard
Old soldiers just fade away
Old habits die hard
Hard enough to feel the pain.
And I can't give you up
Can't leave you alone
And it’s so hard, so hard
And it’s hard enough to feel the pain.
Old habits die hard (old habits die hard)
Old habits die hard
Harder than November rain
Old habits die hard
Old soldiers just fade away
Old habits die hard.
Please come now I think I'm falling I'm holding on to all I think is safe It seems I found the road to nowhere And I'm trying to escape I yelled back when I heard thunder But I'm down to one last breath And with it let me say Let me say.
Hold me now I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking maybe six feet Ain't so far down.
I'm looking down now that it's over Reflecting on all of my mistakes I thought I found the road to somewhere Somewhere in His grace I cried out 'Heaven save me' But I'm down to one last breath And with it let me say Let me say.
Hold me now I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking maybe six feet Ain't so far down Hold me now I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking maybe six feet Ain't so far down I'm so far down.
Sad eyes follow me But I still believe there's something left for me So please come stay with me Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me For you and me For you and me.
Hold me now I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking...
Hold me now I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking maybe six feet Ain't so far down Hold me now I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking maybe six feet Ain't so far down.
Please come now I think I'm falling I'm holding on to all I think is safe.
You're all that I have and you're all that I need Each and every day I pray to get to know you please I want to be close to you, yes I'm so hungry You're like water for my soul when it gets thirsty Without you there's no me You're the air that I breathe Sometimes the world is dark and I just can't see With these, demons surround all around to bring me down to negativity But I believe, yes I believe, I said I believe I'll stand on my own two feet Won't be brought down on one knee Fight with all of my might and get these demons to flee Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe Out of darkness comes light, twilight unto the heights Crown Heights burnin' up all through till twilight Said thank you to my God, now I finally got it right And I'll fight with all of my heart, and all a' my soul, and all a' my might.
What's this feeling? My love will rip a hole in the ceiling I give myself to you from the essence of my being and I Sing to my god, songs of love and healing I want Moshiach now, time we start revealing What's this feeling? My love will rip a hole in the ceiling I give myself to you from the essence of my being and I Sing to my god, songs of love and healing I want Moshiach now, time we start revealing.
Strippin’ away the layers and reveal your soul Got to give yourself up and then you become whole You're a slave to yourself and you don't even know You want to live the fast life but your brain moves slow If you're trying to stay high, bound to stay low You want God but you can't deflate your ego If you're already there then there's nowhere to go If you're cup's already full then its bound to overflow.
If you're drowning in the water's and you can't stay afloat Ask Hashem for mercy, and he'll throw you a rope You're looking for help from God you say he couldn't be found Searching up to the sky and looking beneath the ground Like a King without his Crown You keep fallin' down You really want to live but can't get rid of your frown Tried to reach unto the heights and wound bound down on the ground Given up your pride and the you heard a sound Out of night comes day and out of day comes light Nullified to the One like sunlight in a ray, Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze.
What's this feeling? My love will rip a hole in the ceiling I give myself to you from the essence of my being and I Sing to my god, songs of love and healing I want Moshiach now, time we start revealing.
See I lift up my eyes where my help come from And I seen it circling around from the mountain Thunder! You feel it in your chest You keep my mind at ease and my soul at rest You're not vexed Look to the sky where my help come from Seen it circling around from the mountain.
As I sift and drift through bullshit, That plagues from day to day, Would you ever really notice I've gone away?
I'm over the wall, Over the hill, Over at your place, I'm over the safeties, Over the phone calls, Over the rage, What a mistake.
When you've lost the stones to throw, The ones I found to make a fire, And all the lonely souls that say so get fired.
I'm over the wall, Over the hill, Over at your place, I'm over the safeties, Over the phone calls, Over the rage, What a mistake.
What a mistake, What a mistake, What a mistake, What a mistake,
I've never been lost, I've never been found, And it makes no difference, if I'm around, There's never been words,I've never made actions Never made promises that i never kept.
I'm over the wall, Over the hill, Over at your place.
Interlude by both Chad & Ryan:
I just can't seem to get out of this,(I'm over the safeties) Pulling on a thread,(Over the phone calls) I'm always pulling on a thread,(Over the rage) I'm always pulling on a thread, And I'm always What a mistake, mistake.
So as i sift and drift through bullshit, That plagues from day to day, Would you ever really notice I've gone away?
