Milk - Garbage

1996 - La recuerdo en el andén de una estación, esperando para ir a su encuentro...



I am milk
I am red hot kitchen
And I am cool
Cool as the deep blue ocean

I am lost
So I am cruel
But I’d be love and sweetness
If I had you

I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you
I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you

I am weak
But I am strong
I can use my tears to
Bring you home

I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you
I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you
I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you

I am milk
I am red hot kitchen
And I am cool
Cool as the deep blue ocean

I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you
I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you (2)

I’m waiting
I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you

Desperado - Eagles

1973. (Descubierta mucho más tarde). Si pierdo la partida con algún tema musical, es con éste. La banda sonora de una traición compartida, de una excusa inútil y de una razón desleal. No sé si supe perdonar.
-No encontré un video con imágenes; igual no querían robar protagonismo al recuerdo-.Desperado, why don't you come to your senses? / Forajído, por qué no entras en razón?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now / Has estado mucho tiempo evitando sentir
Oh, you're a hard one / Eres un tipo duro
I know that you got your reasons / Sé que tienes tus razones
These things that are pleasin' you / Estas cosas que parecen encantarte
Can hurt you somehow / pueden hacerte daño de algún modo

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy / No tires la reina de diamantes, chaval
She'll beat you if she's able / Te golpeará si puede
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet / Sabes que la reina de corazones es tu mejor apuesta

Now it seems to me, some fine things / Ahora me parece, que hay cosas buenas
Have been laid upon your table / (que) te han puesto sobre la mesa
But you only want the ones that you can't get / pero solo quieres las que no puedes tener

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger / Forajijo, oh, no te haces más joven
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home / tu dolor y ese ansia te devuelven a casa
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin' / y la libertad, sí, la libertad, de lo que habla la gente
Your prison is walking through this world all alone / tu cárcel atraviesa el mundo en soledad

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time? / No dejes que tus pies sientan frío en invierno
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine / No nevará y no saldrá el sol
It's hard to tell the night time from the day / Es duro distinguir la noche del día
You're losin' all your highs and lows / Lo estás perdiendo todo
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away? / Es divertido ver desaparecer lo que sientes?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses? / Forajído, por qué no entras en razón?
Come down from your fences, open the gate / Derriba esas barreras, abre la puerta
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you / Puede que esté lloviendo, pero hay un arco iris sobre ti
You better let somebody love you, before it's too late. / Dejate querer, antes que sea demasiado tarde.

Show must go on - Queen

1991. Muere un ídolo... y un tema queda para la historia: "El show debe continuar". No sé si era su despedida, pero si que escucharla en esos momentos de duda, de "eclipse parcial", suponía (sigue suponiendo) decir adiós para levantarte con más fuerza. Una Filosofía de vida.

Empty spaces - what are we living for?
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score..
On and on!
Does anybody know what we are looking for?

Another hero - another mindless crime.
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime.
Hold the line!
Does anybody want to take it anymore?
The Show must go on!
The Show must go on!Yeah!
Inside my heart is breaking,
My make-up may be flaking,
But my smile, still, stays on!

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance.
Another heartache - another failed romance.
On and on...
Does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess i'm learning
I must be warmer now..
I'll soon be turning, round the corner now.
Outside the dawn is breaking,
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free!

The Show must go on!
The Show must go on! Yeah,yeah!
Ooh! Inside my heart is breaking!
My make-up may be flaking...
But my smile, still, stays on!
Yeah! oh oh oh

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies,
Fairy tales of yesterday, will grow but never die,
I can fly, my friends!

The Show must go on! Yeah!
The Show must go on!
I'll face it with a grin!
I'm never giving in!
On with the show!

I'll top the bill!
I'll overkill!
I have to find the will to carry on!
On with the,
On with the show!

The Show must go on.

Sitting on the edge of the ocean - Bonnie Tyler

1979. El puntito era esa voz rota, que en aquella época sonaba tremendo. De pequeño la veía con unos rizos preciosos y una carita dulce, como una princesa de cuento. Luego crecí (Antes escuchamos el It's a heartache)

You asked me to come
And so here I am
Has everything gone
According to plan
Don't know what to play
But something still burns
As soon as we touch again
That feeling returns
A little confused
But better by far
To be lovers again
'Cause that's what we are, it's like
[Más Letras en es.mp3lyrics.org/xnj]

*I'm (just) sitting on the
edge of the ocean
Walking a very fine line
Laying my cards on the table
Got to be honest this time
I'm just sitting on the
edge of the ocean
Telling it all to the sea
Baby, you know that I love you
But I want you to know that I'm me

I knew him before
Before I met you
He was my first love
So what could I do
I've opened my heart
Now you know it all
You want me to stay
You've only to call, it's like

*repeat

In the ghetto - Elvis Presley

1969. Bueno, yo la descubrí bastante después. Un día un locutor (entonces se podía escuchas canciones de cualquier año, sin presiones varias) la puso y la tradujo. Yo me rebané los sesos intentando sacar la letra (no existía internet y yo estaba en mantillas con la lengua de Shakespeare o Thatcher entonces). La historia tan hermosa como dura me impactó. No ha perdido vigencia.

As the snow flies / Mientras la nieve vuela
On a cold and gray chicago mornin’ / En una mañana fría y gris de Chicago
A poor little baby child is born / Un pobre niño pequeño, un bebé, nace
In the ghetto / en el gueto.
And his mama cries / Y su madre llora
’cause if there’s one thing that she don’t need / porque, si lo que ella no necesita,
It’s another hungry mouth to feed / es otra boca hambrienta a alimentar
In the ghetto / en el gueto.

People, don’t you understand / Gente, ¿no lo entendéis?.
The child needs a helping hand / El niño necesita que le ayuden
Or he’ll grow / o el crecerá, algún día,
to be an angry young man some day / para convertirse en un adolescente enojado.
Take a look at you and me, Échanos un vistazo,
Are we too blind to see, / ¿Estamos demasiado ciegos para verlo?.
Do we simply turn our heads / ¿Simplemente volvemos nuestras cabezas
And look the other way / y miramos a otro lado?.

Well the world turns / Bien, el mundo continua
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose / y un pequeño chico, con una nariz moqueante,
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows / juega en la calle mientras sopla el viento frío
In the ghetto / en el gueto.

And his hunger burns / Y su hambre arde.
So he starts to roam the streets at night / Por eso comienza a deambular por las calles de noche.
And he learns how to steal / Y aprende a cómo robar.
And he learns how to fight / Y aprende a cómo pelear
In the ghetto / en el gueto.

Then one night in desperation / Entonces, una noche de desesperación
A young man breaks away / un adolescente revienta.
He buys a gun, steals a car, / Compra un arma, roba un coche.
Tries to run, but he don’t get far / Intenta escapar, pero no llega muy lejos.
And his mama cries / Y su madre llora.

As a crowd gathers ’round / Mientras una multitud se reúne alrededor
an angry young man / de un adolescente enfadado
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand / tumbado, boca abajo, en la calle con un arma en su mano
In the ghetto / en el gueto.

As her young man dies, / Mientras su hijo adolescente muere,
On a cold and gray chicago mornin’, / en una mañana fría y gris de Chicago,
Another little baby child is born / otro niño pequeño, un bebé nace
In the ghetto / en el gueto.

Can't make you love me - Bonnie Raitt

1991. Mike Reid, compositor country (para que luego digan...), lo borda. Pero Bonnie Raitt le pone el alma. Y es que cuando no se puede, no se puede... Y qué vas a hacer?
-Por cierto, la versión de George Michael tampoco está mal-Turn down the lights, turn down the bed / Apaga las luces, ven a la cama
Turn down these voices inside my head / Apaga esas voces en mi cabeza
Lay down with me, tell me no lies / Duerme a mi lado, no digas mentiras
Just hold me close, don't patronize - dont patronize me / Solo abrázame, no seas indulgente

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't / Porque no puedo amarme si tu no lo haces,
You can't make your heart feel something it won't / No puedes hacer que tu corazón sienta algo que no existe
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours / Aquí en la oscuridad, en estas oscuras horas
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power / Apaciguaré mi corazón y sentiré el poder
But you won't, no you won't / Pero tú no; no, tú no
cause I can't make you love me, if you don't / debido a que no puedo hacer que me ames, si no lo sientes

I'll close my eyes, then I won't see / Cerraré mis ojos, entonces no lo veré
The love you don't feel when you're holding me / El amor que no sientes cuando me abrazas
Morning will come and I'll do what's right / La mañana llegará y haré lo correcto
Just give me till then to give up this fight / Sólo dame ese tiempo para terminar esta batalla
And I will give up this fight / Y terminaré la batalla

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't / Porque no puedo amarme si tu no lo haces,
You can't make your heart feel something it won't / No puedes hacer que tu corazón sienta algo que no existe
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours / Aquí en la oscuridad, en estas oscuras horas
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power / Apaciguaré mi corazón y sentiré el poder
But you won't, no you won't / Pero tú no; no, tú no
cause I can't make you love me, if you don't / debido a que no puedo hacer que me ames, si no lo sientes

Have I told you lately - Van Morrison

1989. La canción de amor más hermosa. Y punto.

Have I Told You Lately that I love you? / ¿Te he dicho últimamente que te amo?
Have I told you there's no one else above you? / ¿Te he dicho que no hay nadie más que tú?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness, / Llenas mi corazón de alegría, te llevas toda la tristeza
Ease my troubles, that's what you do / Alivias mis problemas, eso es lo que haces

For the morning sun in all it's glory, / Como el sol de la mañana con todo su gloria
Meets the day with hope and comfort too, / Encuentra al día con esperanza y también confort
You fill my life with laughter, somehow you make it better, / Tú llenas mi vida con risas, de algún modo lo haces mejor
Ease my troubles, that's what you do / Alivias mis problemas, eso es lo que haces

There's a love less defined, / Hay un amor menos definido
And it's yours and it's mine, / Y es tuyo y es mío
Like the sun / Como el sol
And at the end of the day, / Al final del día
We should give thanks and pray, / Deberíamos dar gracias y rezar
To The One, to The One. / Al único, al único

Have I Told You Lately that I love you? / ¿Te he dicho últimamente que te amo?
Have I told you there's no one else above you? / ¿Te he dicho que no hay nadie más que tú?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness, / Llenas mi corazón de alegría, te llevas toda la tristeza
Ease my troubles, that's what you do / Alivias mis problemas, eso es lo que haces

There's a love less defined, / Hay un amor menos definido
And it's yours and it's mine, / Y es tuyo y es mío
Like the sun. And at the end of the day, / Como el sol. Al final del día
We should give thanks and pray, / Deberíamos dar gracias y rezar
To The One, to The One / Al único, al único.

Have I Told You Lately That I Love you? / ¿Te he dicho últimamente que te amo?
Have I told you there's no one else above you? / ¿Te he dicho que no hay nadie más que tú?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness, / Llenas mi corazón de alegría, te llevas toda la tristeza
Ease my troubles, that's what you do / Alivias mis problemas, eso es lo que haces

Take away all my sadness, fill my life with gladness, / Te llevas mi tristeza, llenas mi vida con alegría,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do / Alivias mis problemas, eso es lo que haces

Take away all my sadness, fill my life with gladness, / Te llevas mi tristeza, llenas mi vida con alegría,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do / Alivias mis problemas, eso es lo que haces

Oliver's army - Elvis Costello and The Atractions

1979. Aquí comenzaba la música más indie, pero con componente de protesta...

Don't start that talking
I could talk all night
My mind goes sleepwalking
While I'm putting the world to right

Call careers information
Have you got yourself an occupation?

Oliver's army is here to stay
Oliver's army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
But here today

There was a checkpoint Charlie
He didn't crack a smile
But it's no laughing party
When you've been on the murder mile

Only takes one itchy trigger
One more widow, one less white nigger

(Chorus)

Hong Kong is up for grabs
London is full of Arabs
We could be in Palestine
Overrun by a Chinese line
With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne

But there's no danger
It's a professional career
Though it could be arranged
With just a word in Mr. Churchill's ear

If you're out of luck or out of work
We could send you to Johannesburg

(Chorus)

Sharing the night together - Dr. Hook

1979. El country rock pedía paso... Temazo. Luego los Eagles completaron mi formación vaquera. (Cuando te enamoras de una mujer bonita sono mucho en España)

You're looking kinda lonely girl / Pareces sola
would you like someone new to talk to, / ¿Te gustaría alguien nuevo con quien hablar?
ah yeah alright / Ah, vale
I'm feeling kinda lonely too / Yo también me siento solo
if you don't mind can I sit down here beside you / Si no te importa, ¿puedo sentarme aquí a tu lado?
ah yeah alright / Vale

If I seem to come on too strong / Si parezco estar insinuando demasiado
I hope that you will understand / Espero que tu lo entiendas
I say these things 'cause I'd like to know / Dije esas cosas porque me gustaría saber
if you're as lonely as I am / Si tu estás tan sola como yo lo estoy
and if you mind / Y si te importa

Sharing the night together, oh yeah / Compartir la noche juntos, oh si
Sharing the night together, oh yeah, sharing the night. / Compartir la noche juntos, oh si, compartir la noche

We could bring in the morning girl / Podríamos esperar la mañana, chica
if you want to go that far / Si tu quieres ir allá lejos
and if tomorrow find us together / Y si el mañana nos encuentra juntos
right here the way we are / Justo aquí de la manera que estamos
would you mind / ¿Te importaría?

Sharing the night together, oh yeah / Compartir la noche juntos, oh si
Sharing the night together, oh yeah, sharing the night. / Compartir la noche juntos, oh si, compartir la noche

Would you like to dance with me and hold me / ¿Te gustaría bailar conmigo y tenerme?
you know I want to be holding you / Tú sabes que quiero tenerte
ah yeah alright / Vale
'cause I like feeling like I do / Porque me gusta sentir lo que siento
and I see in your eyes / y lo veo en tus ojos
that you're like it and I'm like it too, / que te gusta y a mi también
ah yeah alright / Vale
like to get to know you better / Cómo llegar a conocerte mejor
is there a place where we can go / ¿Hay un lugar donde podamos ir?
where we can be alone together / Donde podamos estar solos y juntos
and turn the lights down low / Y bajar las luces
And start sharing the night ...together / y comenzar a compartir la noche

Honesty - Billy Joel

1979. Triste triste donde las haya... (Otro concepto de canción protesta -fíjate en la letra-). Y cómo sonaba el piano!!!!!

If you search for tenderness
it isn't hard to find.
You can have the love you need to live.
But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind.
It always seems to be so hard to give.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

I can always find someone
to say they sympathize.
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve.
But I don't want some pretty face
to tell me pretty lies.
All I want is someone to believe.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

I can find a lover.
I can find a friend.
I can have security until the bitter end.
Anyone can comfort me
with promises again.
I know, I know.

When I'm deep inside of me
don't be too concerned.
I won't as for nothin' while I'm gone.
But when I want sincerity
tell me where else can I turn.
Because you're the one I depend upon.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

Orchard road - Leo Sayer

1983. 3 años después de More than I can say. Bonita bonita... (aunque menos valorada. Qué vamos a hacer...)

To tell the truth its really such a sad affair
Standing here waiting in the cold night air
But Ive got to make this call
cause my heart is breaking.

I hear the bips drop a coin in the slot
Has it been that long
I thought youd forgotten me
Well I know that its getting late
But I just couldnt wait

Will I have the nerve to say
I just wanna come back
You shouldnt just go away
I just wanna come back

Ive been struck by such a bad luck
I need a place a little happiness and some love
I think I can see it now
Now let me paint the picture

Its twelve oclock and the curtains are drawn
Theyre counting sheep down in orchard road
Youre hanging on the telephone line tonight
And I wish I could be in orchard road

Not much been happening here
I think Ive got a job
Theyre gonna call me next week
And Ill be working out of town
But it sure beats hanging around

Whats that? tomorrow at two
Youre kidding me -- no
Is it allright with you
I dont know what to say
Itll be like a holiday

When you say youre all alone
Makes me wanna come back
And this house is not a home
I just gotta go back

Its twelve ten when I put down the phone
The moons shining down on orchard road
And Im feeling like a schoolboy again and tonight
Ill see you in my dreams of orchard road

Its funny but I thought Id never go back
I think sometimes I might loose track
But I remember you and the things we do
And I want it back.

In orchard road youve got my heart
I left it in your doorway
In orchard road a welcome back
Is waiting there just for me
In orchard road the sun will shine
Again I know I know
In orchard road you keep my love
Just waiting there for me

Its eight oclock and the dawns arrived
In orchard road its breakfast time
I climb in my car and I turn the key and Im gone
I am coming home
To orchard road

Im coming home
