LETRAS DE CANCIONES [6]

Y bien, después de las carátulas voy a seguir con más letras. La siguiente es la letra de la canción ''Dangerous'' de Roxette, que está muy buena y con la que pienso que ella se remarca y se ha remarcado. Esta canción es todo un éxito de Roxette.

Roxette

Dangerous

You pack your bag, you take control 

You're moving into my heart and into my soul
Get out of my way, get out of my sight
I won't be walking on thin ice to get through the night

Hey where's your work? What's your game?
I know your business but I don't know your name

Hold on tight
You know she's a little bit dangerous
She's got what it takes to make ends meet
The eyes of a lover that hit like heat
You know she's a little bit dangerous

You turn around, so hot and dry
You're hiding under a halo, your mouth is alive
Get out of my way, get out of my sight
I'm not attracted to go-go deeper tonight

Hey, what's your word? What's your game?
I know your business but I don't know your name

Hold on tight
She know she's a little bit dangerous
She's got what it takes to make ends meet
The eyes of a lover that hit like heat
You know she's a little bit dangerous
Ooohhh, just a little bit dangerous

Hey, what's your word? What's your game?
I know your business but I don't know your name

Hold on tight
You know she's a little bit dangerous
She's got what it takes to make ends meet
The eyes of a lover that hit like heat
You know she's a little bit dangerous

She's armed, she's extremely dangerous
She's got what it takes to make ends meet
The eyes of a lover that hit like heat
You know she's a little bit dangerous
Ooohhh, just a little bit dangerous

Hey, what's your word? What's your game? 

I don't know your name...
Hey you… just a little bit dangerous…don’t know your name

Ahora voy a pasar a la artista Martika. Para mí, Martika es una gran artista. La que les voy a mostrar ahora es la canción ''I feel the earth move'' originalmente compuesta por Carole King. La version de Martika es espectacular, ya que es High-energy, y merece la pena escucharla. Es un rock bien puesto.

Martika

I feel the earth move

I feel the earth move onto my feet                                   

I feel the sky tumbling down

I feel my heart start to trembling

whenever you're around

Oh, baby, when I see your face

Mellow as the month of May

Oh, darling, I can't stand it

When you look at me that way

I feel the earth move onto my feet

I feel the sky tumbling down (tumbling down)

I feel my heart start to trembli-ing

Whenever you're arooooound...

Oh darling, when I'm near you

And you tenderly call my name

I know that my emotions 

Are something that I just can't tame

I've just got to have you baby

Yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah

I feel the earth move onto my feet 

I feel the sky tumbling down

I feel my heart start to trembling

Whenever you're around

Oh! Yeah!

Oh baby, when I see your face

Mellow as the month of May

Woah darling, I can't stand it

When you look at me that way

I've just got have you, baby

Yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah

I feel the earth move onto my feet

I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down

I feel the earth move onto my feet

I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down

I just-a lose control

Down to my very soul

Yeah, I get hold and cold

All over, all over, all over, all over

I feel the earth move onto my feet

I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down

I feel the earth move onto my feet

I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down

Uh tumbling down, down, down, down, down, down

Earth move, bud-a bud-a bum bum, bud-a bum bum

Earth move, earth move, earth move, earth move I, yeah!

I feel it rock, I feel it roll, I feel it shake

Bud-a bud-a bum bum, bud-a bum bum

Tumbling down, down, down, down, down

Una canción de Martika que está buena es ''Toy soldiers''. Esta es una balada contra las drogas con una historia triste en la que un adicto a las drogas que sale con Martika muere a causa de su adicción.

Martika

Toy soldiers

Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers

It wasn't my intention to mislead you

It should have been this way

What can I say

It's true, I did extend the invitation

I never knew how long you'd stay

When you hear temptation call

It's your that takes, takes the fall

(Won't you come out and play with me?)

Step by step

Heart to heart

Left, right, left

We all fall down

Like toy soldiers

Bit by bit

Torn apart

We never win

But the battle wages on 

For toy soldiers

It's getting hard to wake up in the morning

My head is spinning constantly

How can it be?

How could I be so blind to this addiction?

If I don't stop, the next one's gonna be me

Only emptiness remains

It replaces all, all the pain

(Won't you come out and play with me?)

Step by step

Heart to heart,

Left, right, left

We all fall down

Like toy soldiers

Bit by bit, 

Torn apart

We never win

But the battle wages on 

For toy soldiers

We never win

Only emptiness remains

It replaces all, all the pain

(Won't you come out and play with me?)

Step by step

Heart to heart,

Left, right, left

We all fall down

Like toy soldiers

Bit by bit, 

Torn apart

We never win

But the battle wages on 

For toy soldiers

Step by step

Heart to heart,

Left, right, left

We all fall down

Like toy soldiers

Bit by bit, 

Torn apart

We never win

But the battle wages on 

For toy soldiers


Y ahora voy a pasar al grupo Alphaville. Esta es la canción Forever young (que no hay que confundir con la canción del mismo nombre de Rod Stewart). Para mí es una canción triste, y, por lo que entiendo, la letra habla de que tarde o temprano todos vamos a morir algún día.

Alphaville

Forever young

Let's start in style, let's dance for a while

Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies,

Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst

Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever

We don't have the power but we never say never

Sitting in the sandpit, life is a short trip

The music's for the sadman

Can you imagine when this race is won?

Turn our golden faces into the sun

Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune

The music's played by the, the madman

Forever young

I want to be forever young

Do you really want to live forever?

Forever, or never

Forever young

I want to be forever young

Do you really want to live forever?

Forever young

Some are like water, some are like the heat

Some are a melody and some are the beat

Sooner or later, they all will be gone

Why don't they stay young?

It's so hard to get old without a cause,

I don't want to perish like a fading horse,

years like diamonds in the sun,

and diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today,

so many songs we forgot to play, 

so many dreams swinging out of the blue,

oh, let it come true

Forever young

I want to be forever young

Do you really want to live forever?

Forever, or never

Forever young

I want to be forever young

Do you really want to live forever?

Forever, or never

Forever young

I wanna be forever young

Do you really want to live forever?


Voy a pasar a un artista que con su canción me ha sorprendido. La canción ''El año del gato'' es de Al Stewart. Esta canción, a mi gusto, es una canción formal, pués está hecha con piano. La canción parece una pieza clásica o al menos eso es lo que connota. Además, la letra es rara, aunque tal vez linda -por lo menos a mí me gusta-, con un mensaje particular, de lo que tal vez hace que sea una canción y/o una letra un poco triste. Éste cantante y compositor es escocés y éste tema pienso que lo ha remarcado.

Al Stewart

The year of the cat

On a morning from a Bogart movie

In a country where they turn back time

You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre

Contemplating a crime

She comes out of the sun in silk dress

Running like a watercolor in the rain

Don't bother asking for explanations

She'll just tell you that she came 

In the year of the cat

She doesn't give you time for questions

As she locks up your arm in hers

and you follow till your sense of which direction

completely disappears

By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls

there's a hidden door she leads you to

These days she says I feel my life just like a river

running through the year of the cat

She looks at you so cooly 

and her eyes may shine like the moon in the sea

She comes in incense and patchouli

you take her to find what's waiting inside 

the year of the cat

Well morning comes and you're still with her

and the bus and the tourists are gone

You've thrown away your choice, you've lost your ticket

so you have to stay on

But the drum beat-strains of the night remain

in the rhytym of the new born day

I have known some time you're bound to lose her

but for now you're gonna stay

in the year of the cat


Linda canción, ¿no? Bueno, ahora quiero pasas a los Pet shop boys. Una canción que me gusta de ellos es ''Always on my mind'', aunque no es de ellos, más tarde me enteré de esto, sino que es sólo una version. Esta version, en contraposición con la que es de Elvis, me gusta mucho porque me caracteriza. Así que quiero compartir la letra con ustedes

Pet shop boys

Always on my mind

Maybe I didn't treat you

quite as good as I should

Maybe I didn't love you

quite as often as I could

Little things I should've said and done,

I never took the time

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you

all those lonely, lonely times

And I guess I never told you,

I'm so happy that you're mine

If I made you feel the second best,

I'm so sorry, I was blind

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died

Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied

Satisfied

Little things I should've said and done,
I never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't treat you
quite as good as I should
Maybe I didn't love you
quite as often as I could
Maybe I didn't hold you
all those lonely, lonely times


Y bien, dejo de lado a los Pet shop boys para meterme con Elton John. Éste artista es una artista que le gusta a mi hermano Jonatan. Esta canción, que le gusta a mi hermano, también me gusta a mí, y se llama ''Recover your soul''. Para mí es una canción filósofica.

Elton John

Recover your soul

Baby you're mssing something in the air

I got a name but it don't matter

What's going on, it's cold in here

You have a life but's it's torn and tattered

Maybe you're losing pieces of your heart

You have a world but it stopped turning

You lose the day and gain the dark

Love was a fire but it stopped burning

Spare your heart, save your soul

Don't drag your love across the coals

Find your feet and your fortune 

can be told

Release, relax, let go

And hey, now, let's recover your soul

Lazy old sunset sinking like a tear

Alone at night in a losing battle

That perfect world is never clear

You have to fight for the things that matter

Spare your heart, save your soul

Don't drag your love across the coals

Find your feet and your fortune can be told

Release, relax, let go

And hey now let's recover...
and hey now let's recover...
Hey now let's recover... your soul
And hey now let's recover your soul

Vuelvo a hablar de Al Stewart. Una canción que me gusta también de él es ''Time passages'', que a mí parecer es una canción triste y tiene ese típico toque de las bandas. Esta es la letra

Al Stewart

Time passages

It was late in december, the sky turned to snow

all round the day was going down slow

night like a river beginning to flow

I felt the beat of my mind go

drifting into time passages

years go falling in the fading light

time passages

buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight

Well I'm not the kind to live in the past

the years run too short and the days too fast

the things you lean on are the things that 

don't last

well it's just now and then my life gets cast

into these  

time passages

there's something back here that you left behind

oh time passages

buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight

Hear the echoes and feel yourself starting to turn

don't know why you should feel 

that there's something to learn

it's just a game that you play

Well the picture is changing

now you're part of a crowd

they're laughing at something

and the music's loud

a girl comes towards you

you once used to know

you reach out your hand

but you're all alone, in these

time passages

I know you're in there, you're just out of sight

time passages

buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight

Ahora les voy a poner la canción ''Forever young'' de Rod Stewart.


Rod Stewart

Forever young

May the good lord be with you down every road you roam

And may sunshine and happiness sorround you 

when you're far from home

And may you grow to be proud, dignified and true

and do unto others as you'd have done to you

Be courageous and be brave

and in my heart you'll always stay

forever young (forever young)

forever young (forever young)

May good fortune be with you, 

may your guiding light be strong

Build a stairway to heaven with a prince or a vagabond

And may you never love in vain

and in my heart you will remain

forever young (forever young)

forever young (forever young)

For ever young

for ever young

yeah!

And you finally fly away I'll be hoping that I served you well

for all the wisdom of a lifetime no one can ever tell

But whatever road you choose

I'm right behind you, win or lose

forever young (forever young)

forever young (forever young)

For ever young

for ever young

for! for! ever young

for ever young

Voy a pasar a Stevie Nicks. Esta canción de ella se llama ''Rooms on fire'' (Cuartos en fuego). Me gusta cómo está hecha, porque para mí, por sus sonidos y su ritmo, es una canción filosófica.

Stevie Nicks

Rooms on fire

Somewhere out in the back of your mind

comes your real life and the life that you know

it seems like it was the creation of some of those

same old things

it seemed to be the only thing left out in the light

She had trusted many

But be unfamiliar with

almost everyone but you

Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire

everytime you walk in the room

Well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself

I have known this much longer that I've known you

She had trusted many

and then there would been someone who would enter into

her presence

that she could sense for miles

she dreamed of her wanton luxury

and she laughed and she cried and she tried to taunt him

and he hated to be separated

from that picture no

Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire
everytime you walk in the room
Well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself
I have known this much longer that I've known you

Long nets of white cloud my memory

long nets of white cloud my memory
Ooh there is magic all around you
Everytime time you walk the door

Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire
everytime you walk in the room
Well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself
I have known this much longer that I've known you

38 Special es un grupo que tiene una canción que me gusta mucho que se llama ''Caught up in you''. Está muy buena

38 Special

Caught up in you

I never knew there'd come a day

When I'd ne saying to you

''Don't let this good love slip

away now that we know that it's true''

Don't, don't you know the kind of man 

I am

No, said I'd never fall in love again

But it's real and the feeling comes 

shining through

So caught up in you, little girl

And I never did suspect a thing

So caught up in you, little girl

That I  never wanna get myself free

And baby it's true

You're the one

Who caught me, baby, you taught me 

How good it could be

It took so long to change my mind

I thought that love was a game

I played around enough to find

No two are ever the same

You made me realize the love I missed

So hot love I couldn't quite resist

When it's right the light just comes 

shining through

So caught up in you, little girl

You're the one who's got me down on my knees

So caught up in you, little girl

That I never wanna get myself free

And baby it's true

You're the one

Who caught me, baby, you taught me

How good it could be

Fill your days and your nights

No need to ever ask me twice oh no

Whenever you want me

And if ever, comes a day

When you should turn and walk away, 

oh no

I can't live without you

So caught up in you

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

And if ever, comes a day
When you should turn and walk away, 
oh no
I can't live without you

So caught up in you, little girl
You're the one who's got me down on my knees
So caught up in you, little girl
That I never wanna get myself free
And baby it's true
You're the one
Who caught me, baby, you taught me
How good it could be
Little girl You're the one who's got me 
down on my knees
So caught up in you, little girl
That I never wanna get myself free
And baby it's true
You're the one
Who caught me, baby, you taught me
You got me so caught up in you

Otro artista que me gusta es Hootie&The blowfish. La canción ''Let her cry'' me gusta y está buena

Hootie&The blowfish

Let her cry

She sits alone by a lamp-post

trying to find a thought that escaped her mind

She says dad's the one I love the most

But Stipe's not far behind

She never lets me in

Only tells me where she' been

When she's had too much to drink

I say that I don't care

I just run my hands through her dark hair

Then I pray to God

You gotta help me fly away

And just 

let her cry

If the tears fall down like rain

Let her sing

If it eases all her pain

Let her go 

Let her walk right out on me

And if the sun comes up tomorrow

Let her be

Let her be

This morning I woke up alone

Found a note standing by the phone

Saying baby, ''maybe I'll be back some day''

I wanted to look for you

You walked in I didn't know just what I should do

So I sat back down and had a beer and felt sorry for myself

Saying

Let her cry

If the tears fall down like rain

Let her sing

If it eases all her pain

Let her go 

Let her walk right out on me

And if the sun comes up tomorrow

Let her be

Ohh...

Last night I tried to leave

Cried so much I could not believe 

She was the same girl I fell in love with

long ago

She went in the back to get high

I sat down on my couch and cried yellin'

''Oh momma, please help me! Won't you 

hold my hand?''

Let her cry

If the tears fall down like rain

Let her sing

If it eases all her pain

Let her go

Let her walk right out on me

And if the sun comes up tomorrow

Let her be

Let her cry

If the tears fall down like rain

Let her sing

If it eases all her pain

Let her go

Let her walk right out on me

And if the sun comes up tomorrow

Let her be

Ahh, let her be
