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!

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)
