We shall overcome - Bruce Springsteen


Yo diría que son momentos de convalecencia.
Siempre viene una cursilona forma de ver el futuro con optimismo, basado en que toda desgracia por pasada, fue peor, y que las desgracias por venir serán menores.
Desde ya que debo ir marcando el paso para no rozar en la calle, en las compras, porque mis sobresaltos serán más grandes. Porque todas se parecen a ti por estos días. Aunque la verdad yo casi no te haya reconocido en términos reales.
Pero se va a mejorar.
One, two, three, four

Hey we shall overcome, we shall overcome
We shall overcome someday
Darlin' here in my heart, yeah I do believe
We shall overcome someday

Well we'll walk hand in hand,
we'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand someday
Darlin' here in my heart, yeah I do believe
We'll walk hand in hand someday

Well we shall live in peace, we shall live in peace
We shall live in peace someday
Darlin' here in my heart, yeah I do believe
We shall live in peace someday

Well we are not afraid, we are not afraid
We shall overcome someday
Yeah here in my heart, I do believe
We shall overcome someday

Hey we shall overcome, we shall overcome
We shall overcome someday
Darlin' here in my heart, I do believe
We shall overcome someday

Thunder road - Bruce Springsteen



Todas las mañanas de calor pueden venir así, más sucias, más rockeras. Estos días descubrí un genio perdido (para mi) en el rock(y van 2 en el mes¡¡¡¡)... y nada... gracias, así cualquiera se vuelve fan.
Que tipo tan olvidado por aquí, pero que genial, que intenso... así sería yo si tuviera talento. No como Charly de extremo, ni como Fito de fashion.
Roto, malparado, sucio y desprolijo. Entero a pedazos. Borracho y crítico. Nacionalista de a ratos, izquierdista con la moda, capitalista razonable.
Rockero, de potrero ricotero. Como un trueno.

The screen door slams
Marys dress sways
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey thats me and I want you only
Dont turn me home again
I just cant face myself alone again
Dont run back inside
Darling you know just what Im here for
So youre scared and youre thinking
That maybe we aint that young anymore
Show a little faith, theres magic in the night
You aint a beauty, but hey youre alright
Oh and thats alright with me

You can hide `neath your covers
And study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers
Throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a savior to rise from these streets
Well now Im no hero
Thats understood
All the redemption I can offer, girl
Is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey what else can we do now?
Except roll down the window
And let the wind blow
Back your hair
Well the nights busting open
These two lanes will take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
To trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back
Heavens waiting on down the tracks
Oh-oh come take my hand
Riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh-oh thunder road, oh thunder road oh thunder road
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
Hey I know its late we can make it if we run
Oh thunder road, sit tight take hold
Thunder road

Well I got this guitar
And I learned how to make it talk
And my cars out back
If youre ready to take that long walk
From your front porch to my front seat
The doors open but the ride it aint free
And I know youre lonely
For words that I aint spoken
But tonight well be free
All the promisesll be broken
There were ghosts in the eyes
Of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
In the skeleton frames of burned out chevrolets

They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
But when you get to the porch theyre gone
On the wind, so mary climb in
Its a town full of losers
And Im pulling out of here to win.

Pay me my money down - Bruce Springsteen


Entre trabajar por placer y por dinero... me quedo con ambas.
Los indicadores del año se deberían cumplir... así no debería dejar de tener inversionistas interesados en mis millas, mis ideas y mis contactos. Pero ese mercado aún no existe: la inversión en personas.
Es otro paso "alla Corleone", mi forma de vivir porque no me gusta el mundo en el que vivo, en el cual veo dos cosas: las que me gustan y las que debo cambiar. Pero si hago el mundo más chico, entonces no habrá tanto por cambiar y viviré mejor.
Cuando la cabeza me deje, y cuando salde esas cuentas del alma, que siguen dando rojo.

I though I heard the Captain say,
Pay me my money down,
Tomorrow is our sailing day,
Pay me my money down

Oh pay me, oh pay me,
Pay me my money down,
Pay me or go to jail,
Pay me my money down

As soon as the boat was clear of the bar,
Pay me my money down,
The captain knocked me down with a spar,
Pay me my money down

Oh pay me, oh pay me,
Pay me my money down,
Pay me or go to jail,
Pay me my money down

I wish I was Mr Steven's son,
Pay me my money down,
Sit in the shade and watch the work done,
Pay me my money down

Oh pay me, oh pay me,
Pay me my money down,
Pay me or go to jail,
Pay me my money down

I wish I was Mr Howard's son,
Pay me my money down,
Sit in the shade and drink good rum,
Pay me my money down

Oh pay me, oh pay me,
Pay me my money down,
Pay me or go to jail,
Pay me my money down
