Letras que os gusten especialmente.

Recuerdo del primer mensaje :

Pues eso, si os apetece, podeis poner la letra de alguna canción que os diga o signifique algo especial.
A mi una que me encanta es el "No regrets" de Y&T que además es un temazo:

Wake me up, I've been gone too long
'Cause there's so much ahead of me


All my life, I've had pain and sorrow
And that's all I could ever see
I sat empty, wasting all my days
Waiting for a future dream

And now I see that there's so much more
When I forgive myself and just let it go

So here I stand
With my arms wide open
With No Regrets at all

I've laid naked, with the past I've made
And there's no reason for me to bleed
"What-could-have-been", is a nowhere place
that clouds the view ahead of me

I made a sacrifice, to free my mind
I've shed my past, and put it all behind me

Now here I stand
With my whole life before me
And No Regrets at all
No Regrets, No Regrets, No Regrets at all

All my life, I felt all alone - on my own
But my self-pity got the best of me
Now, I've learned my past, doesn't have to be - my enemy
And I'm the only one, who's in control - in control of my destiny

And now I see that there's so much more
When I forgive myself and just let it go

So here I stand
With my arms wide open
And No Regrets at all
No Regrets, No Regrets, No Regrets
No Regrets at all

Here I stand
With my arms wide open
No Regrets at all

Para mi gusto una lo de las mejores letras.
Queen-Show must go on

Empty spaces - what are we living for?
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score..
On and on!
Does anybody know what we are looking for?

Another hero - another mindless crime.
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime.
Hold the line!
Does anybody want to take it anymore?
The Show must go on!
The Show must go on!
Inside my heart is breaking,
My make-up may be flaking,
But my smile, still, stays on!

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance.
Another heartache - another failed romance.
On and on!
Does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess i'm learning
I must be warmer now..
I'll soon be turning round the corner now.
Outside the dawn is breaking,
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free!

The Show must go on!
The Show must go on! Yeah!
Ooh! Inside my heart is breaking!
My make-up may be flaking!
But my smile, still, stays on!
Yeah! oh oh oh

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies,
Fairy tales of yesterday, will grow but never die,
I can fly, my friends!

The Show must go on! Yeah!
The Show must go on!
I'll face it with a grin!
I'm never giving in!
On with the show!

I'll top the bill!
I'll overkill!
I have to find the will to carry on!
On with the,
On with the show!

The Show must go on.

DIAS DE ESCUELA (ASFALTO)


Bien abrigado llegaba al colegio,
1960 hace poco tiempo.
Formados frente a una cruz
y a ciertos retratos
ente bostezo y bostezo,
gloriosos himnos pesados.
Despertamos en pupitres de dos en dos,
aún recuerdo el estrecho bigote de Don Ramón,
y la estufa de carbón frente al profesor,
la dichosa estufa que no calienta ni a Dios.

Suena el timbre, ¡Al fín!
bocadillo, recreo, ¡Qué pasión!
Una tortura más, antes del juego,
la leche en polvo y el queso americano.

Sales tú y el gordo después,
te cambio los cromos, te juego al tacón.
Sabes tú, la ligo yo,
apuremos el tiempo que ya nos meten dentro.

Yeahh...

Dos horas de catecismo y en Mayo la comunión.
La letra con sangre entra, otro capón,
tarea para mañana y puesto el abrigo,
otra copla a los del cuadro y hasta mañana Don Ramón.
Y ahora tú, qué pensarás,
si cuando más me oprimian, más amé la libertad
y es a tí a quién canto hoy,
enseña a tu hijo, oooohhhhh enseña a tu hijo
a amar, la libertad.

“And The Bands Played On”

Just before dawn in the cold light
We came out of the night
A great expectation from the man who ran the show
Will it rain, will it snow, will it shine, we don't know
Are there clouds up in the sky

We sat in the sun, woah-oh-oh
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on

See the people, feel the power
There was sixty thousand there
Just like thunder the crowds began to roar
Where you there, did ya know, did ya see all the show
There was magic in the air

We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on

See the rainbow shining brightly
Shooting rockets to the sky
Making music and it rolled on through the night
You could hear on the air rock n' roll everywhere
We were strangers in the night

We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh
And the bands played on...

Ahí coincido con Udo, GRUPAZO, y TEMAZO, una de esas canciones que transmiten sentimiento por todos lados, tb me quedo con:


DEF LEPPARD: Hysteria


Out of touch, out of reach yeah
You could try to get closer to me
Im in luck
Im in deep, yeah
Hypnotized, Im shakin to my knees

I gotta know tonight, if youre alone tonight
Cant stop this feeling
Cant stop this fire
Oh, I get hysterical, hysteria, oh can you feel it?
(oh can you feel it? )
Do you believe it?
(do you believe it? )
Its such a magical mysteria when you get that feelin
(when you get that feelin)
Better start believin
(better start believin its a)
cos its a miracle, oh say you will
Ooh babe
Hysteria when youre near

Out of me, into you yeah
You could hide its just a one way street
Oh, I believe Im in you, yeah
Open wide, thats right!
Dream me off my feet
Oh, believe in me

Come on
Ooh babe
(oh, can you feel it? )
Ooh baby
(do you believe I get hysterical? )
Oh!
Hysterical
(hysteria)
Hysteria
(when you get that feelin)
Youd better believe it!
(better start believin)
cos its a miracle, oh, say you will
Oh babe, say you will
(get closer to me)
Get closer baby
(oh)
Baby
(oh)
Closer
(closer)
Closer
(get closer)
Closer to me

SCORPIONS
“Crossfire”

It seems to me a nightmare becomes reality
The last days of the paradise are gone for you and me
We're living in the crossfire
And we'll be killed at first
Why cannot people that we made the leaders of the world
Understand that we don't wanna fight
Understand that we are MUCH too young to die
Understand no one will survive
Understand that we love our life

Can I trust the meaning of the life line in my hand
Which is as long as exciting hundred years
I could be a lucky man
But I'm living in the crossfire
Of a time that starts to burn
Why cannot people that we made the leaders of the world
Understand that we don't wanna fight
Understand that we are MUCH too young to die
Understand no one will survive
Understand that we love our life

Esta me salvó la vida:

MARVELOUS 3 - CIGARETTES LIGHTER LOVE SONG

I know youre not asleep
I can feel you moving over there
Youve been playing with the seam
In your worn out underwear
My lips are raw as hell
From biting on them just to stay awake
Its not like Im gonna need them, you wont be around
To see them bleed and break

Chorus:
All that I do, comes back to you
So Ill just think about you
til theres nothing in my head
All I can do, is try not to screw this up again
And just be friends, Id rather be dead

I drove out of east atlanta
With a headache the size of my car
I called to say I was okay anyway
cause I know how you are
Im like a movie without an ending
You know Ive got nowhere to go
And it makes me wanna throw up
To see you wanna give up
More than youll ever know

(chorus)
Bridge:
Everythings supposed to have a happy ending
But the record keeps skipping and the needle keeps bending
Like the road Im driving to the bridge that has no end
I wanna take back everything that Ive broken
But the bridges behind me are burning and smokin
I guess this is the end
(chorus)

Keykey escribió:

trying to understand escribió:A mí me encanta la letra de "I saw red" de Warrant, especialmente la parte del primer pre-estribillo que dice:

If the moon and stars should fall
they´d be easy to replace
I would lift you up to heaven
and you would take their place.

¿Se puede decir algo más bonito en una canción?

Qué curioso... A mí también siempre me ha encantado ese parte de la letra. Lo mismo que este estribillo

CHORUS
Blind Faith in you, oh yeah.
I've got blind faith in you
And I'm not sure that I deserve
A woman so true,
But I love, that you think I do

Una "cursilada" que me encanta

Jani Lane es un puto poeta.

Pues yo me quedo,a botepronto, con dos:

Roger Waters-Perfect Sense, sobre todo por esta frase:
"and the germans killed the jews and de jews killed de arabs and the arabs killed the hostages and that is the news". Cada vez que algún "reprimido" mata a algún "represor" me viene a la cabeza.

Y esta otra:
The Smiths-Panic
"burn down the disco, hang the blessed DJ, because the music that is constantly playing it says nothing to me about my life".

Por cierto, creo que en el rock hay realmente muy pocos buenos letristas...Byff Byford es de los poquillos, Waters otro, y no sigáis contando muchos más...de los peores, para mi gusto, Coverdale, su clon de Gotthard...

Saludos!

Adolfo escribió:Me llama la atención que todo el mundo elija canciones en inglés. Yo que quereis que os diga. Me llegan mas las letras en castellano:

EL SILENCIO DE LA NOCHE


Cuando el día amanece triste y gris
burlándose de mi
solitario en un tren sin dirección
así me siento yo
Y aunque viajo en el último vagón
no pierdo la ilusión

Tantas cosas que fui dejando atrás
que ya no volverán
y ese amor que busqué con ansiedad
y sigue sin llegar
Pero escucho una voz dentro de mi
tengo que seguir

El silencio de la noche
me dice una vez más
que en algún lugar te tengo que encontrar
Y en silencio cada noche
comienzo a caminar
todavía queda mucho por andar
hasta el final, hasta el final

Cada vez hay más gente junto a mi
y nada que decir
la distancia me ahoga el corazón
y pierdo la razón
y aunque soy lo que siempre quise ser
así no lo soñé

El silencio de la noche
me dice una vez más
que en algún lugar te tengo que encontrar
Y en silencio cada noche
comienzo a caminar
todavía queda mucho por andar
hasta el final, hasta el final

Estoy contigo, me encanta esta letra, aparte de ser para mi el mejor tema de SANGRE AZUL y una de la mejores baladas que se han escrito en castellano....

BLOOD ON BLOOD (BON JOVI)

I can still remember
When I was just a kid
When friends were friends forever
And what you said was what you did

Well, it was me and Daddy and Bobby
We cut each other's hands
And held tight to a promise
Only brothers understand

But we were so young (so young)
One for all and all for one (for one)
Just as sure as the river's gonna run

Blood on blood
One on one
We'd still be standing
When all was said and done
Blood on blood
One on one
And I'll be here for you
Till Kingdom come
Blood on blood

Well, Bobby was our hero
Cause he hed a fake I.D.
I got busted stealing cigarettes
And he took the rap for me

Danny knew this white trash girl
We each threw in a ten
She took us to this cheap motel
And turned us into men

We were so young (so young)
One for all and all for one (for one)
Just as sure as the river's gonna run

Blood on blood
One on one
We'd still be standing
When all is said and done
Blood on blood
One on one
And I'll be here for you
Till Kingdom come
Blood on blood

Solo

Now Bobby, he's an uptown lawyer
Danny, he's a medicin man
And me, I'm just the singer
In a long haired rock'n'roll band

Through the years and miles between us
It's been a long and lonely ride
But if I got a call in the dead of the night
I'd be right by your side

Blood on blood, blood on blood

Blood on blood
One on one
We'd still be standing
When all is said and done
Blood on blood
One on one
And I'll be here for you
Till Kingdom come
Blood on blood

Ya puestos a reivindicar letras de "casa", cualquiera de las letras de los dos discos de Siddharta me parecen excelentes.

Una banda que ya no sé ni si existe pero que debería haber llegado muchísimo más lejos.

Homre, en nacional...
Cualquier cosa de Yosi(los suaves) o Sabina. Y en vasco, cualquiera de Joseba Sarrionandia

RATA BLANCA - MUJER AMANTE (1990)



Rata Blanca - Mujer Amante

Siento el calor, de toda tu piel
en mi cuerpo otra vez.
Estrella fugaz, que enciende mi sed,
misteriosa mujer.
Con tu amor sensual,
cuanto me das.
Haz que mi sueño sea, una verdad.
Dame tu alma hoy, haz el ritual.
Llévame al mundo donde pueda soñar...
Uh! debo saber si en verdad
en algún lado estás.
Voy a buscar una señal, una canción...
Uh! debo saber si en verdad
en algún lado estás.
Solo el amor, que tu me das,
me ayudará...
Al amanecer tu imagen se va,
misteriosa mujer.
Dejaste en mí lujuria total,
hermosa y sensual.
Corazón sin Dios, dame un lugar.
En ese mundo tibio, casi irreal.
Deberé buscar, una señal,
en aquel camino, por el que vas...
Tu presencia marcó,
en mi vida el amor ,lo sé.
Es difícil pensar en vivir ya sin vos...
Corazón sin Dios, dame un lugar.
En ese mundo tibio, casi irreal...

les encontre en un mercadillo,,en un pueblo,,se llamaban o se seguiran llamando 16 valvulas...el disco no es que sea la ostia pero tienen esta ultima cancion ....lo mejor de ellos me gusta mucho...A TODO GAS .es el tituo del disco.
PRINCESA DE CRISTAL...
nadie me enseño,a nadar contracorriente
pero se que el corazon,nunca me miente
siempre estoy intentando ir a buen puerto
y al final sigo el camino del desierto,
tal vez no este tan mal,pensar que puede
haber princesas de cristal ,vestidas de mujer
no estaria tan mal, buscarle compañia a la soledad
no estaria mal, pensar que no estaria tan mal..
sigo en pie, es dificil condenarme
y he aprendido a caer y a levantarme.
no estaria mal pensar, que puede
haber princesas de cristal vestidas de mujer.
no estaria mal buscarle compañia a la soledad ,
no estaria mal pensar que no estaria tan mal,
no estaria mal
no estaria mal

Born To Be My Baby"

Rainy night and we worked all day
We both got jobs 'cause there's bills to pay
We got something they can't take away
Our love, our lives

Close the door, leave the cold outside
I don't need nothing when I'm by your side
We got something that'll never die
Our dreams, our pride

My heart beats like a drum (all night)
Flesh to flesh, one to one (and it's alright)
And I'll never let go cause
There's something I know deep inside

You were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

We got something to believe in
Even if we don't know where we stand
Only God would know the reasons
But I bet he must have had a plan
Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

Light a candle, blow the world away
Table for two on a TV tray
It ain't fancy, baby that's OK
Our time, our way

So hold me close better hang on tight
Buckle up, baby, it's a bumpy ride
We're two kids hitching down the road of life
Our world, our fight

If we stand side by side (all night)
There's a chance we'll get by (and it's alright)
And I'll know that you'll be live
In my heart till the day that I die

Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

We got something to believe in
Even if we don't know where we stand
Only God would know the reasons
But I bet he must have had a plan
Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

[Solo]

My heart beats like a drum (all night)
Flesh to flesh, one to one (and it's alright)
And I'll never let go cause
There's something I know deep inside

Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

We got something to believe in
Even if we don't know where we stand
Only God would know the reasons
But I bet he must have had a plan

Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

You were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

Pues a mi me encanta la letra del antologico baladon "I Want To Know What Love Is" de los maravillosos Foreigner, os dejo la letra....traducida al español:

Debo tomar un poco de tiempo
Un poco de tiempo para pensar las cosas
Mejor leo entre líneas
En caso de necesitarlo cuando sea viejo

Yo puedo escalar esta montaña
Siento el mundo sobre mis hombros
Veo el brillo del amor a través de las nubes
Esto me mantiene caliente mientras la vida se hace más fría

En mi vida ha habido angustia y dolor
No se si pueda enfrentarlo nuevamente
Ahora no puedo parar, he viajado demasiado lejos
Para cambiar esta vida de soledad

Quiero saber lo que es el amor
Quiero que tú me enseñes
Quiero sentir lo que es el amor
Sé que tú puedes enseñarme

Voy a tomarme un poco de tiempo
Un poco de tiempo para mirar a mi alrededor
No tengo ningún lugar para esconderme
Parece que el amor finalmente me encontró

En mi vida ha habido angustia y dolor
No se si pueda enfrentarlo nuevamente
Ahora no puedo parar, he viajado demasiado lejos
Para cambiar esta vida de soledad

Quiero saber lo que es el amor
Quiero que tú me enseñes
Quiero sentir lo que es el amor
Sé que tú puedes enseñarme

Quiero saber lo que es el amor
Quiero que tú me enseñes
Quiero sentir lo que es el amor
Sé que tú puedes enseñarme

.....................................................................................------------------------------------------
Venga, tambien en ingles:

I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older

Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like the world upon my shoulders
And through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I want to know what love is
I want you to show me
I want to feel what love is
I know you can show me

I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I want to know what love is
I want you to show me
I want to feel what love is
I know you can show me

SCORPIONS - CATCH YOUR TRAIN
Lyrics:klaus meine


Wake up man it’s late but not too late,
It’s six o’clock like everyday!

Get your things run and forget the rain,
Take powerpills don’t miss your train!

And you’d like to be another
A different guy and a better lover
For your love, for your life check your way.
And you like the rock’n’roller
A different life and whisky cola
But don’t be low keep your own style
And catch your train!

Don’t be lazy man and work off your ass,
He’s the boss you’ve gotta do what he says!

Catch your train, run and forget those ways,
Keep it cool it’s not too late!

And you’d like to be another
A different guy and a better lover
For your love, for your life check your way.
And you like the rock’n’roller
A different life and whisky cola
But don’t be low keep your own style
And catch your train!

Como dice Jon tema que habla de lo que es la amistad. Este es mi tema preferido de Bon Jovi entre otras cosas por la letra.

AVALANCH

Lucero
Brisa ante mí
Jugara con su pelo.
Huele a jazmín
Me dibuja su cuerpo.
Pasara ante mí
Como un sueño.
La oigo caminar
Y mi alma se asoma
Quisiera gritar
Pero un nudo me ahoga
No sabría que decir
A mi diosa.
Entre niebla surgió
Una luz que me habla
Me describe a mi amor
Y se va con el alba.
Jamás se fijara en mi
Jamás sabrá que existí
Jamás oirá este lamento
Que llevo tan dentro de mí
No sé como es
Aunque sueño su cara
Me muero por ver
Si con suerte hoy habla
Oír su tierna voz
Eso me basta.

Yo tengo ese disco, no está mal, eran guipuzcoanos y desaparecieron hace muchos años.

Esta me encanta, aunque practicamente cualquier cosa escrita por Phil Lynott podria valer:

EMERALD- THIN LIZZY

Down from the glen came the marching men
With their shields and their swords
To fight the fight they believed to be right
Overthrow the overlords

To the town where there was plenty
They brought plunder, swords and flame
When they left the town was empty
Children would never play again

From their graves I heard the fallen
Above the battle cry
By that bridge near the border
There were many more to die

Then onward over the mountain
And outward towards the sea
They had come to claim the emerald
Without it they could not leave
