Perfecta

Ayer, viendo en un genial concierto a Luis Ramiro (en el Café Teatro en Valladolid, por cierto), gracias a una canción suya, me descubrí pensando de nuevo en esa persona que, desde lejos, sigo queriendo. Porque ella es Perfecta:




De nuevo en mi habitación, tras otra cena de navidad, llegado el reposo y la música aleatoria que marca mi ordenador, de nuevo pienso en ella a causa de Missin you, de Everything but the girl:



Creo que no estoy espantando los males. Pero ha pasado así como lo escribo. Además, aunque otra persona se ha colado en mis pensamientos últimamente, anoche y hace unos minutos fue en ella, en la que no cree en el amor en la distancia, en quien pensé entonces y pienso ahora. Ojalá entendiera la canción de Perfecta, pues es bien bonita.

Spread your wings, Queen

Sammy was low,
just watching the show,
over and over again.
He knew it was time,
he'd made up his mind,
to leave his dead life behind.

His boss said to him
boy, you'd better begin
to get those crazy notions
right out of your head
Sammy who do you think that you are?
You should have been sweeping,
at the Emerald bar.

Spread your wings and fly away,
fly away, far away.
Spread your little wings and fly away
fly away, far away.
Pull yourself together,
'cause you know you should do better,
that's because you're a free man.

He spends his evenings alone,
in his hotelroom.
Keeping his thoughts to himself,
he'd be leaving soon.
Wishing he was miles and miles away,
nothing in this world, nothing,
would make him stay.

Since he was small,
had no luck at all,
nothing came easy to him.
Now it was time,
he'd made up his mind,
this could be my last change

His boss said to him
now listen boy, you're always dreaming,
you got no real ambition,
you won't get worried for.
Sammy, boy don't you know who you are?
why can't you be happy,
at the Emerald bar?

(So honey) spread you wings and fly away,
fly away, far away.
spread your little wings and fly away,
fly away, far away.
pull yourself together,
'cause you know you should do better,
that's because your a free man.
come on honey (fly with me)...ç

Compuesta por John Deacon, la he descubierto no hace mucho y cada vez me gusta más. Del vídeo no sé nada, pero a lo mejor ayuda a refresacarse. Spread your wings es del álbum News of the world, de 1977.

Mi alma perdida, Amaral

Dame una corona más
que esta noche yo quiero perder
la conciencia que me hace temblar
cada vez que te veo venir
y volverme invisible tal vez
seguirte por toda la ciudad y llegar a tu casa
sentarme a tu lado
escucharte escondida
conversar saber lo que piensas de la vida cuando ves las noticias

protegerte de noche a los pies de tu cama descifrar el sentido de tus sueños quedarme los besos que se escapan
cada vez que respiras
cada vez que dormido me hablas

Dame una corona más
para ver si dejo de pensar
en poderes paranormales
de heroína de cómic
y me atrevo a acercarme hasta ti
soltarte a la cara la verdad
y dar media vuelta
recoger mi chaqueta
y salir por la puerta contigo

(Estribillo)
Te daré mi corazón
te daré mi vida
te daré mi alma perdida

Ojalá ojalá nunca cambies
esa forma que tienes de
estar en el mundo
ojalá que el tiempo no te cambie

(Estribillo)
Te daré mi corazón
te daré mi vida
te daré mi alma perdida

Te daré mi corazón
te daré mi vida
te daré mi alma perdida
te daré mi alma perdida

Dame una corona más
Dame una corona más


Aunque tal vez no sea esto lo más adecuado para espantar mis males.

Monochrome, Yann Tiersen

Live Aux Eurockéennes De Belfort (06-07-2001). Vocal, Claire Pichet.

Anyway, I can try anything
it’s the same circle
That leads to nowhere
and I’m tired now.

Anyway, I’ve lost my face,
My dignity, my look,
Everything is gone
And I’m tired now.

Don’t worry,
I found a good job and I go to work
Every day on my old bicycle you loved.

I'm pulling up some unread books under my bed
And I really think I’ll never read again.
No concentration,
Just a white disorder
Everywhere around me,
You know I’m so tired now.

Don’t be scared,
I often go to dinners and parties
With some old friends who care for me,
Take me back home and stay.

Monochrome floors, monochrome walls,
Only absence near me,
Nothing but silence around me.
Monochrome flat, monochrome life,
Only absence near me,
Nothing but silence around me.

Sometimes I search an event
Or something to remind,
But I’ve really got
nothing in mind.

Sometimes I open the windows
And listen people
walking in the down streets.
There is a life out there.

Don’t worry,
I found a good job and I go to work
Every day on my old bicycle you loved.

Anyway, I can try
Anything it’s the same circle
That leads to nowhere and I’m tired now.
Anyway, I’ve lost my face,
My dignity, my look,
Everything is gone
And I’m tired now.

Don’t be scared,
I often go to dinners and parties
With some old friends who care for me,
Take me back home and stay.

Monochrome floors, monochrome walls,
Only absence near me,
Nothing but silence around me.
Monochrome flat, monochrome life,
Only absence near me,
Nothing but silence around me


Mi canción favorita de Yann Tiersen. Espero que suene en la gira que tiene preparada para julio. La siguiente es instrumental, pero también me gusta mucho.

Quimper 94:

Fix you, Coldplay

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I...

Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I...

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Me encanta este tema. Desde que lo conocí. Sobre todo por esa idea de que si no nunca lo intentas, nunca no lo sabrás; porque es cierto. Conócete a tí mismo, que decía Sócrates.

Womanizer, Britney Spears

Siguiendo con otra mujer increíble, aquí os dejo esta canción de Britney. Que conste que no la sigo nada, pero esta canción me atrapó hace unos días y me gustó por ser pegadiza. Luego busqué lo que decía (que ya me imaginaba, por otra parte) y terminó de convencerme. Allá va:

Superstar, where you from? How's it going?
I know you got a clue what you're doing
You can play brand new to all the other chicks out here
But I know what you are, what you are, baby

Look at you gettin' more than just a re-up
Baby, you got all the puppets with their strings up
Fakin' like a good one but I call 'em like I see 'em
I know what you are, what you are, baby

ESTRIBILLO:
Womanizer, woman-womanizer, you're a womanizer
Oh, womanizer, oh, you're a womanizer baby
You, you-you are, you, you-you are
Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer
(Womanizer)
Boy don't try to front
I-I know just-just what you are are-are (x2)
(You!)
You got me goin'
(You!)
You're oh so charmin'
(You!)
But I can't do it
(You!)
You womanizer
Boy don't try to front
I-I know just-just what you are are-are(x2)
(You!)
You say I'm crazy
(You!)
I got your crazy
(You!)
You're nothing but a
(You!)
Womanizer

Daddy-O, you got the swagger of a champion
Too bad for you, you just can't find the right companion
I guess when you have one too many, makes it hard, it could be easy
Who you are, that's just who you are, baby

Lollipop, must mistake me you're the sucker
To think that I would be a victim not another
Say it, play it how you want it
But no way I'm never gonna fall for you, never you, baby

ESTRIBILLO

Maybe if we both lived in a different world, yeah
(Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer, womanizer)
It would be all good and maybe I could be your girl
But I can't, 'cause we don't, you!

ESTRIBILLO

Boy don't try to front
I-I know just-just what you are are-are (x2)

Womanizer, woman-womanizer, you're a womanizer
Oh, womanizer, oh, you're a womanizer baby

That's The Thing About Love, Alicia Keys

Un capón para mí por conocer esta canción por el final de un capítulo de Medium, por mucho que me guste la serie. Pero me pareció Alicia Keys y me dije, tengo que dar con esto. Saqué parte de la letra y ya estaba (casi) todo hecho.

Love
Love will come find you
Just to remind you
Of who you are

Oh love
It will forsake you
Threaten to break you
Take what you got

Everybody laughs
Everybody cries
Sure it can hurt you baby,
but give it a little try
See that's the thing about love

Friends
Sometimes will blind you
Sneak up behind you
Can't give enough

They lie
It would embrace you
Totally amaze you
So you don't give up

Everybody laughs
Everybody cries
Ooh it can hurt you baby,
but give it a little try
See that's the thing about love

Oooh tell me that I'm not the only one
who's going through it all
Oooh sometimes I feel that I'm the only
one who's going through it all

But it's time, oh it's time
for me to shine
So it's 'bout time, oh it's time
for me to shine

It's 'bout time, it's 'bout time
for me to shine
It's 'bout time, it's 'bout time
for me to shine

Everybody laughs,
Everybody cries
Sure it can hurt you baby
but give it a little try

See that's the thing about love
That's the thing about love
That's the thing about,
That's the thing about love
