Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma!
Tu pure, o, Principessa, nella tua fredda stanza,
guardi le stelleche fremono d'amoree di speranza.
Ma il mio mistero e chiuso in me,il nome mio nessun sapra!
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo diro quando la luce splendera!
Ed il mio bacio sciogliera il silenzioche ti fa mia!
(Il nome suo nessun sapra!...e noi dovrem, ahime, morir!)
Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle! Tramontate, stelle!
All'alba vincero!
Vincero, vincero!
Nadie duerma! Nadie duerma!
Incluso tú, Princesa, en tu helada habitación,
mira las estrellas cómo tiemblan de amor y esperanza!
Pero mi secreto está guardado en mi interior, mi nombre nadie lo sabrá!
No, no, a tu boca se lo diré justo cuando el amanecer llegue!
Y mi beso romperá el silencio que te hará mía!
(Nadie sabrá su nombre, y nosotras moriremos!)
Desvanécete, oh noche! Apáguense estrellas! Apáguense estrellas!
Al alba venceré!
Venceré, venceré!

Nesum Dorma - Giacomo Puccini

Stay - U2
You don’t smoke, don’t even want to, I see you check your change
Dressed up like a car crash, the wheels are turning but you’re upside down
You say when he hits you, you don’t mind
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
Is that what it is?
Red lights, grey morning, you stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim, it depend’s on who’s around
You used to stay in to watch the adverts, you could lip synch to the talk shows
And if you look, you look through me
And if you talk it’s not to me
And when I touch you, you don’t feel a thing
If I could stay... then the night would give you up
Stay, and the day would keep it’s trust
Stay, and the night would be enough
Faraway, so close, up with the static and the radio
With satelite television, you can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast and Berlin
And if you listen I can’t call
And if you jump, you just might fall
And if you shout I’ll only hear you
If I could stay... then the night would give you up
Stay then the day would keep it’s trust
Stay with the demons you drowned
Stay with the spirit I found
Stay and the night would be enough
Three o’clock in the morning, it’s quiet and there’s no one around
Just the bang and the clatter, as an angel runs to ground
Just the bang and the clatter, as an angel hits the ground

Protection - Massive Attack
Dato freak: a Everything but the girl le pusieron ese nombre luego de que presentaran un demo y el imbécil del productorcillo les dice que "está todo perfecto, excepto la mina". Vaya ojo del funcionario.
This girl I know needs some shelter. She don't believe anyone can help her. She's doing so much harm, doing so much damage. But you don't want to get involved. You tell her she can manage. And you can't change the way she feels. But you could put your arms around her.
I know you want to live yourself. But could you forgive yourself? If you left her just the way you found her
I stand in front of you, I'll take the force of the blow. Protection.
I stand in front of you, I'll take the force of the blow. Protection.
You're a boy and i'm a girl, but you know you can lean on me.
And I don't have no fear, I'll take on any man here.
Who says that's not the way it should be.
I stand in front of youI'll take the force of the blow. Protection.
I stand in front of you, I'll take the force of the blow. Protection.
She's a girl and you're a boy. Sometimes you look so small, look so small.
You've got a baby of your own. When your baby's gone, she'll be the one to catch you when you fall.
I stand in front of you, I'll take the force of the blow. Protection.
I stand in front of you, I'll take the force of the blow. Protection.
You're a girl and i'm a boy [x4]
Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter.
Just runnin' round and round, helter skelter.
And I've leaned on me for years.
Now you can lean on me.
And that's more than love, that's the way it should be.
Now I can't change the way you feel, but I can put my arms around you
That's just part of the deal. That's the way I feel. I'll put my arms around you.
I stand in front of you, I'll take the force of the blow. Protection.
I stand in front of you, I'll take the force of the blow. Protection.
You're a boy and i'm a girl [x4]

There is a light that never goes out - The Smiths
Tengo que reconocer que mi gusto por The Cure como que me mantuvo alejado de toda la onda inglesa en los ochenta, no en términos de conocimiento, pero si en cuanto a acrecentar la discoteca que manteníamos con mi hermano.
Fue a mediados de los noventa cuando encontré los discos de los Smiths. Y ya saben, fue amor a primer oido. Y después fue Morrisey, pero eso es harina de otro post.
La historia viene muchos años después, cuando trataba de hacerme los primeros pinitos en Santiago y pasaba las tardes de cesantía conectado al viejo computador que me dejó un trabajo de poca monta y a los discos que, junto a los libros que me traje de Conce, eran mis tesoros preciados, las joyas de ese cuchitril que llamaba pieza.
Una época depre-depre, que no pudo tener mejor banda sonora que los lamentos de Morrisey diciendo que "ayer soñé que alguien me amaba, no hay esperanza, no hay ternura, sólo es otra falsa alarma...". Pero más allá de lo bajoneado, estaba esta canción que tiene la más linda letra de amor, en especial cuando le dice a su amor que "...si un camión de diez toneladas nos matara, bueno, sería un placer y un privilegio morir a tu lado". Tierno. Je.
Dato: Para toda una generación, criada con radio antes que discos, esta canción tuvo una afortunada versión a cargo de Mikel Ereitxun. Un poco frikeante, pero le sale bien.
Take me out tonight, where there's music and there's people, who are young and alive
Driving in your car, I never never want to go home, because I haven't got one, anymore
Take me out tonight, because I want to see people and I want to see lights
Driving in your car, oh please! don't drop me home, because it's not my home, it's their home, and I'm welcome no more
And if a double-decker bus crashes into us. To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck kills the both of us. To die by your side, well, the pleasure and the privilege is mine
Take me out tonight. Take me anywhere, anywhere, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass I thought Oh god! my chance has come at last
(but then a strange fear gripped me and i just couldnt ask)
Take me out tonight. Oh, take me anywhere, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
Driving in your car I never never want to go home. Because I havent got one, da ...Oh, I haven't got one
And if a double-decker bus crashes into us. To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck kills the both of us. To die by your side, well, the pleasure and the privilege is mine
Oh, there is a light and it never goes out
There is a light that never goes out (Repeat)

If you leave me now - Chicago
A ella nunca más la ví.
If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, no, baby please don't go
And if you leave me now, you'll take away the very heart of me Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, no, baby please don't go
A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away?
We've come to far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way?
When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret things we said today
A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away?
We've come to far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way?
When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret things we said today
If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, no, baby, please don't go

Tea in the Sahara - The Police
And it may sound strange, as if our minds are deranged
Please dont ask us why, beneath the sheltering sky
We have this strange obsession. You have the means in your possession?
Tea in the sahara with you. Tea in the sahara with you
The young man agreed, he would satisfy their need
So they danced for this pleasure, with a joy you could not measure
They would wait for him here, the same place every year
Beneath the sheltering sky, across the desert he would fly
Tea in the sahara with you. Tea in the sahara with you
Tea in the sahara with you. Tea in the sahara with you
The sky turned to black, would he ever come back?
They would climb a high dune, they would pray to the moon
But hed never return. So the sisters would burn
As their eyes searched the land, with their cups still full of sand
Tea in the sahara with you. Tea in the sahara with you
Tea in the sahara with you. Tea in the sahara with you

Baby what you want me to do - Etta James
You got me doin' what you want me. So baby why you want to let go
Going up, going down. Got me up, down, down, up, anyway you want to let it roll. Yeah, yeah, yeah!
You got me doin' what you want me. So baby why you want to let go
Got me beeping, got me hiding. Got me beep, hide, beep, hide, anyway you want to let it roll. Yeah, yeah, yeah!
You got me doin' what you want me. So baby why you want to let go

Ciudad de pobres corazones - Fito Páez
En esta puta ciudad todo se incendia y se va, matan a pobres corazones.
En esta sucia ciudad no hay que seguir ni parar, ciudad de locos corazones.
No quiero salir a fumar, no quiero salir a la calle con vos. No quiero empezar a pensar quién puso la yerba en ese viejo cajón.
Buen día lexotanil, buen día señora, buen día doctor. Maldito sea tu amor, tu inmenso reino y tu ansiado dolor.
Qué es lo que quieren de mí, qué es lo que quieren saber? No me verás arrodillado.
Dicen que ya no soy más yo, que estoy más loco que ayer, y matan a pobres corazones.

Eu sei que vou te amar - Vinicius de Moraes
Eu sei que vou te amar
Por toda minha vida eu vou te amar
A cada despedida eu vou te amar
Deseperadamente, eu sei que vou te amar
E cada verso meu, será prá te dizer
Que eu sei que vou te amar, por toda minha vida
Eu sei que vou chorar
A cada ausência tua, eu vou chorar
Mas cada volta tua há de apagar
O que essa tua ausência me causou
Eu sei que vou sofrer, a eterna desventura de viver
Na espera de viver ao lado teu
Por toda minha vida

Desconfío de la vida - Pappo
No se porque imagine que estabamos unidos y me sentí mejor
pero aquí estoy tan solo en la vida que mejor me voy
Un viejo blues me hizo recordar momentos de mi vida y mi primer amor
pero aquí estoy tan solo en la vida que mejor me voy.

Te quiero, te quiero - Nino Bravo
De porque te estoy queriendo, no me pidas la razón
pues yo mismo no me entiendo con mi propio corazón.
Al llegar la madrugada, mi canción desesperada te dará la explicación.
Te quiero vida mía, te quiero noche y dia, no he querido nunca así.
Te quiero con ternura, con miedo, con locura, solo vivo para tí.
Yo te seré siempre fiel, pues para mi quiero en flor, ese clavel de tu piel y de tu amor.
Mi voz igual que un niño te pide con cariño, ven a mi y abrázame!
Por que te quiero, te quiero, te quiero y hasta el fin te querré.

Against all odds - Phil Collins
Este si que es puro placer culpable. Phil Collins no me va ni me viene. A lo más forma parte del soundtrack personal por un asunto de sonido de fondo, de ruido ochentero que estaba ahí, en las micros y en la tele, en las insufribles fiestas de los taquilleros de siempre y en los compilados de adultos jóvenes que no tienen la valentía de cerrar el ciclo.
De todas maneras, está acá, en este blog, porque sin saber cómo, este temita se fue colando, colando, por la memoria y quedó pegado en la muralla en donde guardo algunas postales de cierto viaje mochileando y de tardes de ángeles en Concepción, mientras el futuro estaba allá lejos y todos los días eran más iguales al anterior.
Y ocurre que, cuando estaba terminando mi carrera, que fui obligado a tomar una buena cantidad de electivos (un asunto de créditos para terminar el semestre como la gente). Y como soy medio tarado, me inscribí en Coro. Ja.
Ahí supe que era bajo barítono, y que toooodos podemos tratar de cantar algo afinados. Bueno, el asunto es que el profe, en las primeras clases, nos avisa que el examen consistirá en cantar, frente a toda la clase, una canción que será ensayada personalmene en todo el semestre.
Nunca supe cómo llegó el listado de canciones a mis manos, pero cuando leo "Against all odds", que me acuerdo de diez años de historia. Voy y le digo al profe: "Este es el que voy a cantar". De puro patudo.
El primer día que comencé a ensayar, me pasaron la letra y, aquí es donde la historia pasa a cuento, resulta que me la sabía. No tenía que leerla, me la sabía. Era la primera vez que me sabía una canción en inglés de memoria, y nunca supe cómo miércales había sido el proceso. Si a mí Phil Collins no me va ni me viene.
Aprobé el curso. Y desde entonces, cuando suena en la radio, me paro de mi asiento y canto como me enseñaron, impostando, proyectando hacia adelante y haciendo que las letras resuenen en la parte superior de la cabeza.
Sip, hago eso, a pesar de que voy en la micro, o estoy en una reunión. Maldito Phil Collins.
How can i just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace
When i stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me, When all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Ooh take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what i've got to face
I wish i could just make you turn around (turn around and see me cry)
There's so much i need to say to you,So many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now, cos there's just an empty space
But to wait for you, is all i can do and that's what i've got to face
Take a good look at me now, cos i'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It's the chance i've gotta take
Take a look at me now

Is it a crime? - Sade
This may come, This may come as some surprise, but I miss you
I could see through, all of your lies. But I stll miss you
He takes her love, but it doesn't feel like mine. He tastes her kiss, her kisses are not wine, they're not mine
He takes, but surely she can't give what I'm feeling now. She takes, but surely she doesn't know how
Is it a crime? Is it a crime?
That I still want you. And I want you to want me too
My love is wider, wider than vitoria lake. My love is taller, taller than the empire state
It dives and it jumps and it ripples like the deepest ocean
I can't give you more than that, surely you want me back
Is it a crime? Is it a crime?
That I still want you. And I want you to want me too
My love is wider than vitoria lake, taller than the empire state
It dives and it jumps! I can't give you more than that, surely you want me back
Is it a crime? Is it a crime?
That I still want you. And I want you to want me too
It dives and it jumps. And it ripples like the deepest Ocean
I can't give you more than that
Surely you want me back
Tell meIs it a crime

In between days - The Cure
Yesterday I got so old, I felt like I could die. Yesterday I got so old, it made me want to cry
Go on go on, just walk away. Go on go on, your choice is made. Go on go on, and disappear. Go on go on, away from here
And I know I was wrong, when I said it was true: That it couldn’t be me and be her, in between without you, without you
Yesterday I got so scared, I shivered like a child. Yesterday away from you, it froze me deep inside
Come back come back, don’t walk away. Come back come back, come back today. Come back come back, why can’t you see? Come back come back, come back to me
And I know I was wrong, when I said it was true: That it couldn’t be me and be her, in between without you, without you

Seguir viviendo sin tu amor - Luis Alberto Spinetta
Si a tu corazón yo llego igual, todo siempre se podrá elegir, no me escribas la pared, sólo quiero estar entre tu piel.
Y si acaso no brillara el sol, y quedara yo atrapado aquí, no veria la razón de seguir viviendo sin tu amor,
Y hoy que enloquecido vuelvo, buscando tu querer, no queda más que el viento, no queda más que el viento.
Y si acaso no brillara el sol y quedara yo atrapado aquí, no veria la razón de seguir viviendo sin tu amor.
