This charming man - The Smiths

This Charming man - The Smiths

Punctured bicycle
On a hillside desolate
Will nature make a man of me yet ?

When in this charming car
This charming man

Why pamper life's complexity
When the leather runs smooth
On the passenger seat ?

I would go out tonight
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
This man said "it's gruesome
That someone so handsome should care"

Ah ! A jumped-up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said "return the ring"
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things

I would go out tonight
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
This man said "it's gruesome
That someone so handsome should care"
La, la-la, la-la, la-la, this charming man ...
Oh, la-la, la-la, la-la, this charming man ...

Ah ! A jumped-up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said "return the ring"
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things

El Rompeolas - Loquillo

Loquillo - El Rompeolas (Morir en primavera, 1988)

Lunes, Martes, Miércoles,
mirando hacia el mar.
Es un buen lugar para irse a olvidar,
coches policías detrás la ciudad.
Ojalá aquella rubia me mire al pasar.

Tú chica puedes vivir
una vida de hogar,
búscate un marido con miedo a volar.
No hables de futuro,
es una ilusióncuando el rocanrol conquistó mi corazón.
No hables de futuro
es una ilusión
cuando el rocanrol conquistó mi corazón.

Jueves, Viernes, Sábado,
sentado junto al mar.
Es un buen lugar para irse a olvidar.
Dejé a mi familia junto al televisor.
En el rompeolas aún se huele el sol.

Tú chica puedes vivir
una vida de hogar,
búscate un marido con miedo a volar.
No hables de futuro,
es una ilusión
cuando el rocanrol conquistó mi corazón.
No hables de futuro
es una ilusión
cuando el rocanrol conquistó mi corazón.

Opio - Héroes del Silencio

Posiblemente la mejor canción de Héroes del Silencio...


Héroes del Silencio - Opio (Avalancha, 1995)

es el opio la flor de la pereza
hasta que llego a ser sólo existencia.
el humo de leche muge lento
extendiendo el sabor del universo.
el que nada hace nada teme
y de terrenal sabrás lo celeste
un oscuro derecho a la delicia
será un sueño o será mentira.

las cosas más triviales se vuelven fundamentales
eliminando los moldes del azar.
como se agita el viento sin alimento
escucha mi canto abierto de par en par.

es el opio la flor de la pereza
hasta que llego a ser sólo existencia.
el humo de leche muge lento
extendiendo el sabor del universo.
replegado en la madriguera
como un animal acosado
bajo el efecto de la adormidera
y el peso de mis pestañas.

las cosas más triviales se vuelven fundamentales
eliminando los moldes del azar.
como se agita el viento sin alimento
escucha mi canto abierto de par en par.

esquirlas de aire
arcano indrescifrable.
en el jardín de mis delicias
pertenezco a la brisa.
inhalo la niebla
que flota en el ganges
es aceite de incienso
nos servirá de consuelo.

Friday I'm in love - The Cure

The Cure - Friday I'm in love

I don't care if Monday's blue,
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too.
Thursday, I don't care about you.
It's Friday, I'm in love.
Monday, you can fall apart.
Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart.
Thursday doesn't even start.
It's Friday, I'm in love.

Saturday, wait,
And Sunday always comes too late,
But Friday never hesitate...

I don't care if Monday's black,
Tuesday, Wednesday, heart attack.
Thursday, never looking back.
It's Friday, I'm in love.

Monday, you can hold your head.
Tuesday, Wednesday, stay in bed.
Or Thursday, watch the walls instead.
It's Friday, I'm in love.

Saturday, wait,
And Sunday always comes too late,
But Friday, never hesitate...

Dressed up to the eyes,
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise,
Throwing out your frown,
And just smiling at the sound,
And as sleek as a shriek,
Spinning round and round.
Always take a big bite,
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night.
You can never get enough,
Enough of this stuff.
It's Friday,
I'm in love

Menamoré - Georgina

Georgina - Menamoré (Ensayo y error, 2009)

Me enamoré, de un tipo que parece tonto
y no lo es,
no es un modelo de Hugo Boss
pero modela para mí, toda su ropa interior.

Me enamoré, de alguién que no usa perfume
y huele bien
no es un amante de novelas
pero me entrega su amor, sin escenas mias.

No tiene cabellera hermosa,
no es un metrosexual de la prensa rosa

CORO
Me enamoré, de un tipo que
no me ha dado flores ni una vez
pero llenó de primavera, toda esta casa vacia
no quiero rosas carmucadas
que el tiempo ha de marchitar
prefiero estar contigo
y convertir todos los meses en abril

Me enamoré, de alquien que cree que el
matrimonio es un papel
de alquién que se queja por todo,
pero me da la razón,
sin pedir explicación.
No quiere ver, que existe un dios que puede
mucho más que él,
pero me lleva al paraiso, cuando hacemos el amor.

No tiene cabellera hermosa,
no es un metrosexual de la prensa rosa

CORO
Me enamoré, de un tipo que
no me ha dado flores ni una vez
pero llenó de primavera, toda esta casa vacia
no quiero rosas carmucadas

The promise - Tracy Chapman

Tracy Chapman - The Promise

If you wait for me then i'll come for you
Although i've traveled far
I always hold a place for you in my heart
If you think of me if you miss me once in awhile
Then i'll return to you
I'll return and fill that space in your heart
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting
If you dream of me like i dream of you
In a place that's warm and dark
In a place where i can feel the beating of your heart

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting
I've longed for you and i have desired
To see your face your smile
To be with you wherever you are

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting
I've longed for you and i have desired
To see your face, your smile
To be with you wherever you are

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
Please say you'll be waiting

Together again
It would feel so good to be
In your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise if it's one that you can keep, i vow to come for you
If you wait for me and say you'll hold
A place for me in your heart.

El universo sobre mi - Amaral

Amaral - El universo sobre mi (Pajaros en la cabeza, 2005)

Sólo queda una vela encendida en medio de la tarta, y se quiere consumir...
ya se van los invitados tú y yo nos miramos sin saber bien que decir.
Nada que descubra lo que siento
que este día fue perfecto
y parezco tan feliz
nada como que hace mucho tiempo
que me cuesta sonreir

Quiero vivir
quiero gritar
quiero sentir
el universo sobre mi
quiero correr en libertad
quiero encontrar mi sitio

Una broma del destino
una melodia acelerada
en una canción que nunca acaba
ya he tenido suficiente
necesito alguien que comprenda
que estoy sola en medio de un montón de gente
que puedo hacer

Quiero vivir
quiero gritar
quiero sentir
el universo sobre mi
quiero correr en libertad
quiero llorar de felicidad
quiero vivir
quiero sentir
el universo sobre mi
como una náufrago en el mar
quiero encontrar mi sitio,
sólo encontrar mi sitio

Todos los juguetes rotos
todos los amantes locos
todos los zapatos de charol
todas las casitas de muñecas
donde celebraba fiestas
donde sólo estaba yo
Vuelve el espíritu olvidado
del verano del amor...

Quiero vivir
quiero gritar
quiero sentir
el universo sobre mi
quiero correr en libertad
quiero llorar de felicidad
quiero vivir
quiero sentir
el universo sobre mi
como una náufrago en el mar
quiero encontrar mi sitio
sólo encontrar mi sitio

Quiero vivir
quiero gritar
quiero sentir
el universo sobre mí
quiero correr en libertad
quiero llorar de felicidad
quiero vivir
quiero sentir
el universo sobre mí
como una náufrago en el mar
quiero encontrar... mi sitio!

Aaaah ....

Sólo queda una vela encendida en medio de la tarta y se quiere consumir

Better Together - Jack Johnson

Jack Johnson - Better Together

There is no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing, but I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a, shoebox of photographs
With sepia-toned loving
Love is the answer,
At least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and
Sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together

Mmm, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, we'll look at the stars when we're together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

And all of these moments
Just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they'll be gone
When the morning light sings
And brings new things
For tomorrow night you see
That they'll be gone too
Too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way
Into my day to day scene
I'd be under the impression
I was somewhere in between
With only two
Just me and you
Not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be
We'll sit beneath the mango tree now

Yeah, it's always better when we're together
Mmm, we're somewhere in between together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

Mmm, mmm, mmm

I believe in memories
They look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up,
You look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time,
And there is no, no song I could sing
And there is no combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We're better together.

Still got the blues - Gary Moore

Esta es una de las canciones que sigue estremeciéndome. La inconfundible voz de Gary Moore y la magistral manera de tocar la guitarra hacen que este tema sea una de las baladas más impresionantes de la historia de la música.
Para acabar la semana, domingo de Reyes con este impresionante bluesman...


Gary Moore - Still got the blues

Used to be so easy to give my heart away
But I found out the hard way
There's a price you have to pay
I found out that love was no friend of mine
I should have known time after time

So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you

Used to be so easy to fall in love again
But I found out the hard way
It's a road that leads to pain
I found that love was more than just a game
You're playin' to win
But you lose just the same

So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you

So many years since I've seen your face
Here in my heart, there's an empty space
Where you used to be

So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you

Though the days come and go
There is one thing I know
I've still got the blues for you.

My Way - Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols - My Way

And now, the end is near
and so i face the final curtain (ha ha ha!)
you cunt, i'm not a queer
i'll state my case, of which i'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
and each and every highway
and much, much more than this
i did it my way
Regrets, i've had a few
but then again, too few to mention
but i did .. what i had to do
i'll see it through without devotion
I planned, each chartered course
be careful thought along the highway
and more, much more than this
i did it my way
There were times, i'm sure you knew
when there was fuck, fuck fuck else to do
But through it all, when there was doubt
i shot it up, or kicked it out
i faced the wall .. and .. the wall
and did it my way
I've loved in bed last night
i've had my fill, my share of looting
and now, the tears subside
i find it all so amusing
To think, i killed a cat
and may i say .. not in the way
"but no, no, not me"
"i did it my way"
For what is a brat, what has he got
when he wears hats that he cannot
say the things he truly thinks
but only the words, not what he feels
The record shows, i've got no clothes
and did it my way

Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns'n'Roses

Con este emblemático tema se presentaba al mundo la banda de hard rock más importante de la historia."Sexo, drogas y rock'n'Roll" para Abrir las Venas...


Guns'n'Roses - Sweet Child O' Mine (Apetite for destruction, 1987)

She's got a smile it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

Oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Oh,
Sweet love of mine

Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Oh, oh
Where do we go?
Oh,
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Oh, (sweet child)
Where do we go now?
Oh,
Where do we go now?
Oh,
Where do we go?
Oh,
Where do we go now?
Oh,
Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Oh,
Where do we go now?
No, no, no, no, no, no
Sweet child,
Sweet child of mine.

Fear of the Dark - Iron Maiden

Uno de los precursores del heavy metal con uno de sus mejores temas. Abrid las venas de par en par...


Iron Maiden - Fear of the Dark

I am a man who walks alone
And when I'm walking a dark road
At night or strolling through the park

When the light begins to change
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it's dark

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's
Always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's
Always there

Have you run your fingers down
The wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light?
Sometimes when you're scared
To take a look
At the corner of the room
You've sensed that something's
Watching you

Have you ever been alone at night
Thought you heard footsteps behind
And turned around and no one's there?
And as you quicken up your pace
You find it hard to look again
Because you're sure there's
Someone there

Watching horror films the night before
Debating witches and folklore
The unknown troubles on your mind
Maybe your mind is playing tricks
You sense, and suddenly eyes fix
On dancing shadows from behind

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have constant fear that something's
Always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's
Always there

When I'm walking a dark road
I am a man who walks alone.

One - Metallica

Metallica - One

I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, wake me

Back in the womb it's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, wake me

Now the world is gone, I'm just one
Oh God help me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, help me

Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell
