Miss Sarajevo, by Passengers (Feat. Luciano Pavarotti)

Miss_sarajevo

Ultimo Viernes de Audio & Lyrics del año y que mejor que despedirnos del 2012 que con la mejor creación de Passengers. Ósea, Brian Eno más U2.

Por cierto, Bono alguna vez dijo que esta era su canción favorita de U2… que no era de U2.

Como sea, siempre se agradece escucharla. Y ya nos despediremos del año en forma más adelante. Ahora solo coloquen sus asientos en posición vertical y ajusten sus auriculares.

Enjoy…

Is there a time for keeping your distance
A time to turn your eyes away
Is there a time for keeping your head down
For getting on with your day

Is there a time for kohl and lipstick
A time for curling hair
Is there a time for high street shopping
To find the right dress to wear 

Here she comes
Heads turn around
Here she comes
To take her crown 

Is there a time to run for cover
A time for kiss and tell
Is there a time for different colours
Different names you find it hard to spell 

Is there a time for first communion
A time for East Seventeen
Is there a time to turn to Mecca
Is there time to be a beauty queen

Here she comes
Beauty plays the clown
Here she comes
Surreal in her crown 

Dici che il fiume
Trova la via al mare
E come il fiume
Giungerai a me
Oltre i confini
E le terre assetate
Dici che come il fiume
Come il fiume...
L'amore giungerà
L'amore...
E non so più pregare
E nell'amore non so più sperare
E quell'amore non so più aspettare

[Translation of the above]
You say that the river
finds the way to the sea
and like the river
you will come to me
beyond the borders
and the dry lands
You say that like a river
like a river...
the love will come
the love...
And i don't know how to pray anymore
and in love i don't know how to hope anymore
and for that love i don't know how to wait anymore

[End of Translation] 

Is there a time for tying ribbons
A time for Christmas trees
Is there a time for laying tables
And the night is set to freeze

O lijepa, o draga, o slatka slobodo,
[dar u kom sva blaga višnji nam bog je do...]


End of the World, by Skeeter Davis‏

Tenia que postear esto. Digo, igual y los mayas se equivocaron en el cálculo por algunas horas...

Como sea, disfruten al máximo del tiempo que queda. El cual, ya saben, sigue siendo un misterio.

Ok, necesito un trago. Salú!

Why does the sun go on shining?

Why does the sea rush to shore?

Don't they know it's the end of the world

'Cause you don't love me anymore?

 

Why do the birds go on singing?

Why do the stars glow above?

Don't they know it's the end of the world

It ended when I lost your love

 

I wake up in the morning and I wonder

Why every thing's the same as it was

I can't understand. No, I can't understand

How life goes on the way it does

 

Why does my heart go on beating?

Why do these eyes of mine cry?

Don't they know it's the end of the world

It ended when you said goodbye

 

Why does my heart go on beating?

Why do these eyes of mine cry?

Don't they know it's the end of the world

It ended when you said goodbye

Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out, by Derek and The Dominos

Layla

Feliz fin de semana!
(download)

Once I lived the life of a millionaire,
Spent all my money, I just did not care.
Took all my friends out for a good time,
Bought bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine.

Then I began to fall so low,
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go.
I get my hands on a dollar again,
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins.

'Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you're down and out.
In your pocket, not one penny,
And as for friends, you don't have any.

When you finally get back up on your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend.
Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.

When you finally get back upon your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend.
Said it's mighty strange,
Nobody knows you,
Nobody knows you,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.

 

 

On Battleship Hill, by PJ Harvey

Feliz fin de semana!

The scent of Thyme carried on the wind

Stings my face into remembering

Cruel nature has won again

Cruel nature has won again

On Battleship Hills caved in trenches

A hateful feeling still lingers

Even now 80 years later

Cruel nature, cruel, cruel nature

The land returns to how it has always been

Thyme carried on the wind

Jagged mountains, jutting out

Cracked like teeth in a rotten mouth

On Battleship Hill I hear the wind

Say, "Cruel nature has won again"

Cruel nature has won again…

Science Fiction-Double Feature

From The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Jueves de karaoke. Nosierto!

Como sea, estoy muy en el mud de esta canción esta tarde. Ayer, Gigantes pego primero en el Clásico. Ya saben.

Michael Rennie was ill
The Day the Earth Stood Still
But he told us where we stand
And Flash Gordon was there
In silver underwear
Claude Rains was The Invisible Man
Then something went wrong
For Fay Wray and King Kong
They got caught in a celluloid jam
Then at a deadly pace
It Came From Outer Space
And this is how the message ran...

Science fiction (ooh ooh ooh) double feature
Doctor X (ooh ooh ooh) will build a creature
See androids fighting (ooh ooh ooh) Brad and Janet
Anne Francis stars in (ooh ooh ooh) Forbidden Planet
Wo oh oh oh oh oh
At the late night, double feature, picture show

I knew Leo G. Carroll
Was over a barrel
When Tarantula took to the hills
And I really got hot
When I saw Janette Scott
Fight a Triffid that spits poison and kills
Dana Andrews said prunes
Gave him the runes
And passing them used lots of skills
But When Worlds Collide
Said George Pal to his bride
I'm gonna give you some terrible thrills
Like a...

Science fiction (ooh ooh ooh) double feature
Doctor X (ooh ooh ooh) will build a creature
See androids fighting (ooh ooh ooh) Brad and Janet
Anne Francis stars in (ooh ooh ooh) Forbidden Planet
Wo oh oh oh oh oh
At the late night, double feature, picture show
I wanna go - Oh oh oh oh
To the late night, double feature, picture show
By R.K.O. - Wo oh oh oh
To the late night, double feature, picture show
In the back row - Oh oh oh oh
To the late night, double feature, picture show

Pale Blue Eyes, by The Velvet Underground

(download)

Viernes de quincena, de tráfico desquiciante, de protestas, del estreno de la película de dicho presidente gringo en su faceta de cazador de vampiros… Y Viernes de Audio & Lyrics también, claro.

Esta vez presentamos una canción que no necesita presentación, la cual me ha acompañado en muchas madrugadas de domingos, con los últimos vestigios de fiestas que se van consumiendo tan tristemente como cabos de velas solitarias en bibliotecas de monasterios medievales. O algo así.

Como sea, es una gran canción.

Que tengan un excelente fin de semana.

Sometimes I feel so happy
Sometimes I feel so sad
Sometimes I feel so happy
But mostly you just make me mad
Baby you just make me mad
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes

Thought of you as my mountain top
Thought of you as my peak
Thought of you as everything 
I've had but couldn't keep
I've had but couldn't keep

If I could make the world as pure and strange as what I see
I'd put you in the mirror I put in front of me
I'd put in front of me

Skip a life completely, stuff it in a cup
She said money is like us in time
It lies but can't stand up
Down for you is up

It was good what we did yesterday
And I'd do it once again
The fact that you are married
Only proves that you're my best friend
But it's truly, truly a sin
Linger on, your pale blue eyes

Linger on, your pale blue eyes 

Sunny Afternoon, by The Kinks

(download)

En esta parte del mundo, el cambio de estaciones es más sutil de lo que se piensa. Solamente los calendarios nos pueden decir la fecha exacta en la que la primavera deja de ser primavera para convertirse en verano, pero nadie checa los calendarios para eso, la verdad. Aun así, tenemos un método infalible para saber cuándo llega el verano: el inicio de las vacaciones escolares.

En esta parte del mundo nos damos cuenta del transcurso de las estaciones mediante fechas específicas. El invierno inicia el 12 de diciembre y se acaba aquél día que dicen es el Natalicio de Don Benito Juárez. El verano dura más o menos un mes, cuando hace más calor y no hay clases. El otoño es todo lo que le sigue hasta que empiezan las fiestas de fin de año.

Sí, quizá no sea la manera más exacta de medir el paso de las estaciones, pero es nuestra manera. Los cambios climáticos quizá no son del todo perceptibles, pero sí los cambios en nuestra rutina. Lo cual nos ayuda a darnos cuenta de que la vida va avanzando, dejando dolor y felicidad atrás y cargando, cada vez un poco más, nuestros discos duros con las sombras de dichos sucesos.

Esta semana se acabó el verano. Lástima por los escolapios. El camino parece largo hasta la primera posada, pero créanme que la verdad no lo es.

Buen fin de semana.

The tax man's taken all my dough, 
And left me in my stately home, 
Blazing on a sunny afternoon. 
And I can't sail my yacht, 
He's taken everything I've got, 
All I've got's this sunny afternoon. 

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze. 
I got a big fat mama trying to break me. 
And I love to live so pleasantly, 
Live this life of luxury, 
Blazing on a sunny afternoon. 
In the summertime 
In the summertime 
In the summertime 

My girlfriend's run off with my car, 
And gone back to her ma and pa, 
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty. 
Now I'm sitting here, 
Sipping at my ice cool beer, 
Lazing on a sunny afternoon. 

Help me, help me, help me sail away, 
Well give me two good reasons why I oughta stay. 
'Cause I love to live so pleasantly, 
Live this life of luxury, 
Lazing on a sunny afternoon. 
In the summertime 
In the summertime 
In the summertime 

Ah, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze. 
I got a big fat mama trying to break me. 
And I love to live so pleasantly, 
Live this life of luxury, 
Lazing on a sunny afternoon. 
In the summertime 
In the summertime 
In the summertime 
  

Beetlebum, by Blur

(download)

Viernes de Audio y Lyrics y también último viernes de los Juegos Olímpicos de Verano de este 2012 que, dicen, será el año en el que se acabe el mundo. Pero aunque así fuera, podemos decir que mientras vivimos fuimos testigos de la historia, de la construcción de leyendas. Vivimos en una época de gigantes realmente envidiable.

 

Si el mundo no se acaba en diciembre, tendremos mucho que contar cuando seamos viejos y ricos.

 

Como sea, los dejo con Blur y les deseo un excelente fin de semana.

 

Beetlebum
What you've done
She's a gun
Now what you've done
Beetlebum
Get nothing done
You beetlebum just get numb
Now what you've done
Beetlebum


And when she lets me slip away
She turns me on all my violence is gone
Nothing is wrong
I just slip away and I am gone
Nothing is wrong
She turns me on
I just slip away and I am gone

Beetlebum
Because you're young
She's a gun
Now what you've done
Beetlebum
She'll suck your thumb
She'll make you come
Coz, she's your gun
Now what you've done
Beetlebum

And when she lets me slip away
She turns me on all my violence is gone
Nothing is wrong
She turns me on
I just slip away and I'm gone  

That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore, by The Smiths

(download)

Buen fin de semana!

 

Park the car at the side of the road 
You should know 
Time's tide will smother you 
And I will too 
When you laugh about people who feel so 
Very lonely 
Their only desire is to die 
Well, I'm afraid 
It doesn't make me smile 
I wish I could laugh 

But that joke isn't funny anymore 
It's too close to home 
And it's too near the bone 
It's too close to home 
And it's too near the bone 
More than you'll ever know ... 


Kick them when they fall down 
Kick them when they fall down 
You kick them when they fall down 
Kick them when they fall down 
You kick them when they fall down 
Kick them when they fall down 
You kick them when they fall down 
Kick them when they fall down 


It was dark as I drove the point home 
And on cold leather seats 
Well, it suddenly struck me 
I just might die with a smile on my 
Face after all 


I've seen this happen in other people's 
Lives 
And now it's happening in mine 

I've seen this happen in other people's 
Lives 
And now it's happening in mine 


I've seen this happen in other people's 
Lives 
And now it's happening in mine 


I've seen this happen in other people's 
Lives 
And now it's happening in mine 
Oh ... 


I've seen this happen in other people's 
Lives 
Oh ... 
And now it's happening in mine 
Happening in mine 
Happening in mine 
Happening in mine 
Happening in mine 


I've seen this happen in other people's 
Lives 
Oh ... 
And now, now, now it's happening in mine 
(I've seen this happen) 
Happening in mine 
Oh... now, now


I've seen this happen in other people's 
Lives 
Oh ... 
And now it's happening in mine 
(Happen) 
Happening in mine 

Oh ... 

Happening in mine 

Happening in mine 

Happening in mine 


I've seen this happen in other people's 
Lives 

Oh ... 

And now, now, now it's happening in mine 

Happening in mine 

Mine, mine 

Happening in mine 


London Calling, by The Clash

(download)

Teníamos que postear esto, ya saben. Y sí, ya sé que pueden escuchar esta canción en todos lados ahora, pero aquí la pueden descargar, jojojo.

Feliz fin de semana. Disfruten de los Juegos!

London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared, and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look to us
Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing

[Chorus 1:]
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning, and I live by the river

London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, you can go it alone
London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holding out, and draw another breath
London calling, and I don't wanna shout
But while we were talking, I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain't got no high
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

[Chorus 2: x2]
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning, and I live by the river

Now get this

London calling, yes, I was there, too
An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
After all this, won't you give me a smile?
London calling

I never felt so much alike [fading] alike alike alike
