MIS CANCIONES FAVORITAS (II)

Ahí va otra de mis canciones favoritísimas, ultimamente, la escucho mucho y me pone las pilas... Lanzada a la fama por Gloria Gaynor, también me gusta mucho la versión de los estadounidenses Cake, la ralentizan de manera que el cantante parece que escupe las palabras con mucha más rabia que la buena de Gloria.




"I Will Survive"
At first I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
and so you're back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me

Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now'
cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not II will survive
Oh as long as i know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive (hey-hey)

It took all the strength I hadnot to fall apart
kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
and I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
and you see me
somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
still in love with you and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
and now I'm saving all my loving
for someone who's loving me

Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now'
cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
Did you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not II will survive
Oh as long as i know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive[x2]

MIS CANCIONES FAVORITAS (I)

Como ya ha hecho Mr. Celofán en el terreno del cine, voy a comenzar una serie de post que, espero que con una regularidad continuada, os demuestren algunas de mis canciones favoritas.

La primera canción ya la he puesto alguna vez (creo), pero es que es más que bonita. Si no sabe inglés y la oyes, puedes creer que es alegre. Pero la letra es demoledora, habla, en resumidas cuentas de un amor no correspondido, la persona que ama le dice a la amada que aunque no lo le preste atención, que aunque no le escuche, que aunque mire a través de él, desde el momento en que se levante hasta el momento en que se acueste, estará a su lado, aunque la amada no se estremezca por nada, él estará ahí. Es la historia de mi vida amorosa resumida en tres minutos, cantada por la mejor banda del panorama internacional actual: Coldplay.





So I look in your direction
But you pay me no attention, do you?
I know you don't listen to me
'Cause you say you see straight through me, don't you?
But on and on, from the moment I wake
'Till the moment I sleep
I'll be there by your side
Just you try and stop me
I'll be waiting in line
Just to see if you care
Did you want me to change
Well I changed for good
And I want you to know
That you'll always get your way
I wanted to say
Don't you shiver
Shiver
Sing it loud and clear
I'll always be waiting for you
So you know how much I need you
But you never even see me, do you?
And is this my final chance of getting you
But on and on, from the moment I wake
'Till the moment I sleep
I'll be there by your side
Just you try and stop me
I'll be waiting in line
Just to see if you care
Did you want me to change
Well I changed for good
And I want you to know
That you'll always get your way
I wanted to say
Don't you shiver
Don't you shiver
Sing it loud and clear
I'll always be waiting for you
Yeah I'll always be waiting for you
Yeah I'll always be waiting for you
Yeah I'll always be waiting for you
For you
I will always be waiting
And it's you I see
But you don't see me
And it's you I hear
So loud and clear
I sing it loud and clear
And I'll always be waiting for you
So I look in your direction
But you pay me no attention
And you know how much I need you
But you never even see me...
