Homenaje musical a un famoso y a un desconocido
Domingo, Julio 22, 2007
El jueves, como muchos deben saber, murió el genial dibujante y escritor Roberto Fontanarrosa. Anoche, como casi nadie debe saber, murió en un accidente automovilístico Gastón Cadierno, el hijo de Lily, mi última profesora de inglés (y la mejor que he tenido). No es la primera vez que alguien que conozco -aunque, tengo que confesarlo, bastante superficialmente- fallece, pero es la primera vez que se trata de alguien joven (tenía 28 años) y no por causas naturales. En cualquier caso, quiero homenajearlos con una canción, Wonderwall, de Oasis (hubiese querido poner Rock N’ Roll Suicide, de David Bowie, pero la tecnología me traicionó). Chau, Negro. Chau, Gastón.
Today is gonna be the day
That they’re gonna throw it back to you
By now you should’ve somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don’t believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I’m sure you’ve heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don’t believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
I don’t know how
Because maybe
You’re gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You’re my wonderwall
Today was gonna be the day?
But they’ll never throw it back to you
By now you should’ve somehow
Realized what you’re not to do
I don’t believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now
And all the roads that lead to you were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don’t know how
I said maybe
You’re gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You’re my wonderwall
I said maybe
You’re gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You’re my wonderwall
Said maybe
You’re gonna be the one that saves me
You’re gonna be the one that saves me
You’re gonna be the one that saves me…
