Menú del día: canciones pop para terminar

Este tópico, con el tiempo, amenaza con volverse una nueva ciencia social. O al menos una línea de investigación. Hay sitios especializados que conviene consultar. Lo que ofrezco es una selección/traducción liberal de ciertos temas imprescindibles.

Erykah Badu - "Tyrone"

"I think you'd better call Tyrone/ And tell him come on help you get your sh--/ You need to call Tyrone Hold on/ But you can't use my phone."

Mejor que llames a Tyrone / y le dices que venga a ayudarte pa que te lleves tus weás/ llámate a Tyrone / Pero espérate, no te dejo usar mi teléfono

Ben Folds Five - "Song for the Dumped"

"Give me my money back, you bitch/ I want my money back/ And don't forget to give me back my black T-shirt."

Devuelveme la plata, maraca / quiero mi plata / y no se te olvide devolverme mi polera negra

Bob Dylan - "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right"

"I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind/You could have done better but I don't mind/You just kinda wasted my precious time/But don't think twice, it's all right

no estoy diciendo que me hayas tratado descortésmente / podrías haberlo hecho mejor, pero no importa / me hiciste perder el tiempo nomás / pero no lo pienses tanto, si está bien

Marrillion - "Kayleigh"

"Kayleigh, is it too late to say I'm sorry/ And Kayleigh, could we get it together again/ I just can't go on pretending that it came to a natural end/ Kayleigh, oh I never thought I'd miss you/ And Kayleigh, I thought that we'd always be friends/ We said our love would last forever so how did it come to this bitter end"

Kelly (chilenización del nombre), ¿muy tarde para arrepentirme? / y Kelly, ¿podemos volver otra vez? / no puedo hacer como que esto cayó por su propio peso / Kelly nunca pensé que te echaría de menos / y Kelly pensé que seríamos amigos para siempre / dijimos que este amor duraría para siempre, ¿cómo llegó a este final amargo?

The Byrds - "I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better"

"After what you did I can't stay on/ And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone."

Después de la que me hiciste, no puedo seguir aquí / y me voy a sentir mucho mejor cuando ya te hayas ido

Tonio K. - "H-A-T-R-E-D"

"I wish I was as mellow as, for instance, Jackson Browne/ But 'Fountain of Sorrow' my ass, motherf---er, I hope you end up in the ground."

Me gustaría ser tan tierno como, ponte tú, Jackson Browne / pero “fountain of sorrow”, ni cagando conchetum**e / ojalá termines tirada en el suelo

Ace of Base - The Sign

I gotta new life
You would hardly recognize me I'm so glad
How could a person like me care for you
Why do I bother
When you're not the one for me
Oooo, is enough, enough

Tengo una nueva vida
No podrías reconocerme de lo feliz que estoy
¿Cómo a una persona como yo podrías importarle tú?
¿Para qué pescar si tú no eres el indicado?
Oooo, ya filo, filo

Phil Collins - Against all odds

How can you just walk away from me, when all I can do is watch you leave
Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain, and even shared the tears

Como puedes dejarme, cuando no puedo hacer otra cosa que mirarte partir, porque hemos compartido risas y dolores, e incluso compartimos lágrimas

John Waite - Missing You

And there's a message that I'm sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can't bridge this distance
Stop this heartbreak overload
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone
Away

Quiero mandar un recado
Como un telégrafo a tu alma
Y si no puedo cruzar esta distancia
Parar esta sobrecarga de desilusión
No te voy a echar de menos para nada
Desde que te fuiste
Lejos

¿más?

Right Here Waiting - Richard Marx

Where Do Broken Hearts Go - Whitney Houston

You Give Love a Bad Name - Bon Jovi


Comments:
Pucha Feña que haces las tareas. te pasaste.

Mi favorita, por su dignidad, Knowing me knowing you de Abba:

No more carefree laughter
Silence ever after
Walking through an empty house, tears in my eyes
Here is where the story ends, this is goodbye

Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
We just have to face it, this time were through
(this time were through, this time were through
This time were through, were really through)
Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go
(I have to go this time
I have to go, this time I know)
Knowing me, knowing you
Its the best I can do

Memries (memries), good days (good days), bad days (bad days)
Theyll be (theyll be), with me (with me) always (always)
In these old familiar rooms children would play
Now there's only emptiness, nothing to say

La versión de Evan Dando, culísima. ojalá un día pudiera terminar mis bad relations así.
 
mire: a mi me gusta la siguiente frase de Cerati (ya sé que es Cerati, pero):

"saber decir adios es crecer"

muy como de cuarentón.

y me gusta esta de Julieta Venegas:

"es probable que lo merezca pero no lo quiero"

está bueno eso.
 
bueno, y todas las frases de "thrill is gone", de BB king
 
SI ES QUE HAY SUERTE

(Letra: Covadonga. Música: Nosoträsh)

Hoy me he dado cuenta
de que es hora de hacer las maletas
he pasado tanto tiempo en el mismo lugar...
Ya tengo recuerdos suficientes, tantas fotos tuyas
y en ninguna de ellas salgo yo.

Esta vez me voy en coche,
estoy cansada de volar,
a través de los cristales te diré bye bye.

Mi vida parece una película
y es ahora ahí donde yo quiero estar.

Me verás si es que hay suerte
dando el tiempo por la tele,
o anunciando unas cuchillas de afeitar.

Y es verdad te querré siempre
que haya tierra suficiente,
de por medio juntos ya no podemos estar.

(ESTA ES LA PARTE NOTABLE):

Dentro de unos años volveremos a encontrarnos
en un bar y por casualidad,
tú estarás tan calvo y tan gordito,
y yo tan guapa
nos tendremos tanto que contar...
 
50 Ways To Leave Your Lover

The problem is all inside your head
She said to me
The answer is easy if you
Take it logically
I’d like to help you in your struggle
To be free
There must be fifty ways
To leave your lover
She said it’s really not my habit
To intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning
Won’t be lost or misconstrued
But I’ll repeat myself
At the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways
To leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover
You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don’t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
She said it grieves me so
To see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do
To make you smile again
I said I appreciate that
And would you please explain
About the fifty ways
She said why don’t we both
Just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning
You’ll begin to see the light
And then she kissed me
And I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways
To leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover
 
pero no dice cuáles son las fifty ways! devuelvan la plata
 
es cosa de kmasu, me imagino
 
otra:
Ahora me voy
No me lo repitas
Estoy recogiendo las cosas precisas para irme a un hotel
Un par de pijamas, jabón, zapatillas,
Un par de camisas para no volver

Ahora me voy, no me lo repitas
También me he cansado de tantas mentiras
De no serte fiel
Aqui en esta bolsa me cabe la vida
Con ella a la espalda soy libre otra vez

El dia que puedas me mandas con alguien
Las cosas que ahora pudiera olvidar
El libro de versos que yo te leia
Los dias felices que no volveran
 
el dia que puedas me mandas con alguien
las cosas queridas de mi propiedad
las cosas comunes las tiras al aire
que vuelen sin rumbo, que no vuelvan más, nunca más

(vaya tema)
 
se nos olvidaba "qué nos va a pasar" de La Buena Vida
 
Here's Where The Story Ends

(The Sundays)

People I know, Places I go
Make me feel tongue tied
I can see how people look down
They're on the inside

Here's where the story ends

People I see, weary of me
Showing my good side
I can see how people look down
I'm on the outside

Here's where the story ends
Ooh, Here's where the story ends

It's that little souvenir of a terrible year
Which makes my eyes feel sore
Oh I never should have said the books that you read
Were all I loved you for
It's that little souvenir of a terrible year
Which makes me wonder why
And it's the memories of the shed that make me turn red
Surprise, surprise, surprise

Crazy I know, places I go
Make me feel so tired
I can see how people look down
I'm on the outside

Oh, Here's where the story ends
Ooh, Here's where the story ends

It's that little souvenir of a terrible year
Which makes my eyes feel sore
And who ever would've thought the books that you brought
Were all I loved you for
Oh the devil in me said go down to the shed
I know where I belong
But the only thing I ever really wanted to say
Was wrong, was wrong, was wrong

It's that little souvenir of a colorful year
Which makes me smile inside
So I cynically, cynically say the world is that way
Surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise

Here's where the story ends
Ooh, Here's where the story ends
 
Cry Me a River


Now you say you're lonely
You cried the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cause I cried, I cried
I cried a river over you

You drove me,
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear

Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
Now you say you say love me
Well, just to prove you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

You drove me
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear

Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was to plebeian
Told me you were through with me...
And now, now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do...
Come on! and cry, cry, cry me a river
Cry me a river...
Cause I cried a river over you

If my pillow could talk
Imagine what it would've said
T'would be a river of tears
I cried in bed
So you can cry me a river
Daddy, go ahead now and cry that river
Cause I cried how I cried
A river over you
 
Love will tear us apart

joy division

When the routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high
But emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways,
Taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed,
Our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again

Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings expose?
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just can't function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again
 
Moldy Peaches, The - Goodbye Song

Adam:

Packing my bags
Time is a drag
Smell myself to make sure I'm still there
I'm alone in the dark
With the sabre-tooth shark
And every pretty girl that broke my heart
Be seated in lines
Broken dimes
Who's gonna get their match this time
The maker's at home
Smoking a bone
I'm on my own, I'm on my own
These nightmares
Nightmares
With the repeating cast of characters
I don't wanna talk
When my thoughs are true
I hate myself when I think like you
Cause its over
Its over
Its ancient, its so old
Its ancient
Its ancient
Its so old, lets call the whole thing
Off

Lets call the whole thing
Off

Kimya:

Say goodbye
I won't cry
Old friend, see you again
I know
Must go
See red, sore head
Alone here
Alone there
I'm alone everywhere
Say goodbye
I won't cry
Old friend, see you again
So afraid
Back in the day
Tag along, sing song
Bazooka Joe
Punk show
Front row, dammo
3000 miles
New styles
When in Rome, go home
Say goodbye
I won't cry
Old friend, see you again
Say goodbye
I won't cry
Old friend, see you again
Say goodbye
I won't cry
Old friend, I'll see you again
 
feel a whole lot better
teenage fanclub

The reason why
oh I can't say
I have to let you go babe, and right away
After what you did I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better
When you're gone
Baby for a long time
You had me believe
That your love was all mine,
And that's the way it would be
But I didn't know, that you were puttin' me on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better
When you're gone
Now I gotta say that it's not like before
And I'm not gonna play your games anymore
After what you did I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better
When you're gone
 
lo siento, colecciono letras
 
acabo de cachar the byrds/teenage fanclub
 
mismo tema con version de C. García, es bien bueno el cover. Claro que es menos tajante la version.
