EDDIE PALMIERI - Cinturita

Bueno, esto necesita letra. Es una canción para gozarse un fin de semana ya sea en 33 revoluciones como en la version del vídeo...



...O en 45 revoluciones por minuto para bailar más acelerado:

RAUL GARCES - Lejos de ti (tango)

Un hermoso tango colombiano del compositor Julio Erazo, interpretado por Raúl Garces y los caballeros del tango.

Hoy que la lluvia entristeciendo esta la noche,
y las nubes en derroche tristemente veo pasar,

Viene a mi mente la que lejos de mi lado,
El cruel destino ha posado solo por verme llorar.

Y a veces pienso que es tal vez mi desventura,
La causa de esta amargura que no puedo soportar,

Quiero estar al lado de ella, para decirle que es bella,
Para decirle que nunca podría dejarla de amar.

Pero estoy lejos de ti, sin saber como estarás,
Si estarás pensando en mi, o no me recordarás.

Solo se que yo te quiero, con una inmensa pasión
Y que mi mas grande anhelo, es que no olvides mi corazón.

SKIP JAMES - Devil got my woman

Está canción la conocí por formar parte del soundtrack de la película del 2001 "Ghost World" (adaptación del cómic que lleva el mismo nombre) protagonizada por Thora Birch (American Beauty) y Scarlett Johanson.

Una hermosa canción, que suena como un lamento:



(La letra podría no coincidir con la versión del vídeo)

You know, I'd rather be the ol' devil
Well, I'd rather be the devil
Then to be that woman' man
You know, rather be the devil
Than to be that woman' man

You know, I'm so sorry
You know, so sorry
That I ever fell in love wit' you-ooo-hoo-oo
Because you know you don't treat me
Baby, like you used ta do-hoo

You know, I laid down last night
You know, I laid down last night
And I thought to take me some rest
But my mind got to rambling
Like a wild geese from the west

You know the woman that I love
The woman that I love
I stol't her from my best friend
But you know he done got lucky
An he done got her back, again

You know, I used to cut your kindleing
You know, I used to cut your kindleing
Baby, then I made you some fire
Then I would tote all your water
Way, way, way, from the bogy brier

You know, my baby she don't drink whiskey
My baby, she don't drink no whiskey
An I know she ain't crazy about wine
Now, it was nothin' but the ol' devil
He done changed my baby's mind

You know, I could be right
You know, I could be right
Then again, I could be wrong
But it was nothin' but the ol' devil
He done got my baby
Now he done gone.

*I'd rather be the devil, to be that woman's man
I'd rather be the devil, to be that woman's man
Aw, nothin' but the devil, changed my baby's mind
Was nothin' but the devil, changed my baby's mind
I laid down last night, laid down last night
I laid down last night, tried to take my rest
My mind got to ramblin', like a wild geese
From the west, from the west
The woman I love, woman that I loved
Woman I loved, took her from my best friend
But he got lucky, stoled her back again
But he got lucky, stoled her back again

STILL LOVING YOU - SCORPIONS

Una linda canción de amor, no dice nada nuevo, pero expresa muy bien parte de ese sentimiento.



Still Loving You
Time, it needs time
To win back your love again
I will be there, i will be there
Love, only love
Can bring back your love someday
I will be there, i will be there

I'll fight, babe, i'll fight
To win back your love again
I will be there, i will be there
Love, only love
Can break down the wall someday
I will be there, i will be there

If we'd go again
All the way from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed our love
Your pride has built a wall, so strong
That i can't get through
Is there really no chance
To start once again
I'm loving you

Try, baby try
To trust in my love again
I will be there, i will be there
Love, our love
Just shouldn't be thrown away
I will be there, i will be there

If we'd go again
All the way from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed our love
Your pride has built a wall, so strong
That i can't get through
Is there really no chance
To start once again

If we'd go again
All the way from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed our love
Yes, i've hurt your pride, and i know
What you've been through
You should give me a chance
This can't be the end
I'm still loving you
I'm still loving you, i need your love
I'm still loving you

Tiempo, esto necesita tiempo
para volver a ganar tu amor otra vez
estaré ahí, estaré ahí
amor, sólo amor
puedo volver a traer tu amor algún día
estaré ahí, estaré ahí

Lucharé nena, lucharé
para volver a ganar tu amor otra vez
estaré ahí, estaré ahí
amor, sólo amor
puedo derribar las murallas algún día
estaré ahí, estaré ahí

Si hemos de ir otra vez
por todos los caminos del comienzo
trataría de cambiar
las cosas que mataron nuestro amor
tu orgullo ha construido una muralla tan fuerte
que no puedo conseguir cruzarla
si no hay realmente oportunidad de
comenzar otra vez
estoy enamorado de ti

Intenta, nena, intenta
confía en mi amor otra vez
estaré ahí, estaré ahí
amor, nuestro amor
no deberías tirarlo
estaré ahí, estaré ahí

Si hemos de ir otra vez
por todos los caminos del comienzo
trataría de cambiar
las cosas que mataron nuestro amor
tu orgullo ha construido una muralla tan fuerte
que no puedo conseguir cruzarla
si no hay realmente oportunidad de
comenzar otra vez

Si hemos de ir otra vez
por todos los caminos del comienzo
trataría de cambiar
las cosas que mataron nuestro amor
sí, sé que he dañado tu orgullo
que tú has terminado
deberías darme una oportunidad
ésto no puede ser el final
aún estoy enamorado de ti
aún estoy enamorado de ti, necesito tu amor
aún estoy enamorado de ti

LAYLA - ERIC CLAPTON

Una hermosa canción como ninguna otra, lástima que me traiga recuerdos tan...confusos. ¿Como es posible que un momento de felicidad como ese, se haya convertido en uno tan triste ahora? Me han arruinado esa canción para siempre.

VERSION UNPLUGGED



VERSION ORIGINAL



What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.


Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.


I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.

Chorus

Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.

Chorus

Chorus
__________________________________________

Qué harás cuando te encuentres sola
Y nadie esté esperando a tu lado
Has estado corriendo y escondiendote durante demasiado tiempo
Tú sabes que esto es solo tu estúpido orgullo

Layla, me tienes a tus pies
Layla, te lo estoy rogando, querida, por favor
Layla, querida, no alivias mi preocupada mente

Intenté darte consuelo
Cuando tu padre te dejó
Como un tonto, me enamoré de ti
Giré mi mundo entero poniéndolo al revés

Layla, me tienes a tus pies
Layla, te lo estoy rogando, querida, por favor
Layla, querida, no alivias mi preocupada mente

Deja salir lo mejor de la situación
Antes de que me vuelva loco
Por favor, no digas que no encontraremos una manera
Y dime que mi amor no es en vano

Layla, me tienes a tus pies
Layla, te lo estoy rogando, querida, por favor
Layla, querida, no alivias mi preocupada mente

Layla, me tienes a tus pies
Layla, te lo estoy rogando, querida, por favor
Layla, querida, no alivias mi preocupada mente.

ROCK THE CASBAH - THE CLASH

Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin' to the top
The sheik he drove his Cadillac
He went a-cruisin' down the ville
The muezzin was a' standing
On the radiator grille

CHORUS:
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the shareef
Had cleared the square
They began to wail

CHORUS

Now over at the temple
Oh! They really pack 'em in
The in crowd say it's cool
To dig this chanting thing
But as the wind changed direction
The temple band took five
The crowd caught a whiff
Of that crazy Casbah jive

CHORUS

The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better earn your pay
Drop your bombs between the minarets
Down the Casbah way

As soon as the shareef was
Chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare

As soon as the shareef was
Outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed

CHORUS

He thinks it's not kosher
Fundamentally he can't take it
You know he really hates it

WRAPPED AROUND YOU FINGER - THE POLICE

You consider me the young apprentice
Caught between the Scylla and Charibdes
Hypnotized by you if I should linger
Staring at that ring around your finger
I have only come here seeking knowledge,
Things they would not teach me of in college
I can see the destiny you sold
Turned into that shining band of gold

I'll be wrapped around your finger

Mephistopheles is not your name
But I know what you're up to just the same
I will listen hard to your tuition
And you will see it come to its fruition

I'll be wrapped around your finger

Devil on the deep blue sea behind me
Vanish in the air you'll never find me
I will turn your face to alabaster
When you find your servant is your master

And you'll be wrapped around my finger
