Abrazo para Dani

Estoy contigo en todo momento.

Jamás lo olvides.

Ten fe.

Lía, de Ana Belén

Tal para cual

Este octubre me regalé otro concierto fabuloso: "Tal para cual", Ana Belén y Víctor Manuel. Novena fila, justo en medio. Los tenía frente a mí, casi sentía que si estiraba mi mano los tocaría.

Realmente las palabras jamás alcanzarán para hablar de este concierto. Fue tan sencillo que rayó en la perfección.



La escenografía: mamparas blancas donde proyectaban fotografías acorde a cada canción. Imágenes bellísimas en su mayoría.



El repertorio impecable. Canciones de ayer y de hoy. Bloques donde cantaba Víctor Manuel, otros para las interpretaciones de Ana Belén. Algunos duetos. Siempre permitiendo el lucimiento del otro.



Detalles de afecto, el juego entre pareja. La conversación amena con el público...



Pero indudablemente lo mejor: la magnífica voz de Ana Belén. Sus discos no le hacen justicia. Nunca nadie me había sorprendido tanto al escucharla en vivo como ella. Nadie me había impactado como ella. Nadie me había conmovido así.



Gustosa pagaría el doble por verlos de nuevo.

Difícil decidir qué me gustó más. ¿Derroche? ¿La canción nueva de Víctor Manuel? ¿No sé por qué te quiero? ¿Si me nombras? ¿El hombre del piano? ¿Luna llena? ¿Sube al desván? ¿Lía? ¿Rumbo al Sur? Todo fue magnífico.



Dos fechas para la memoria: octubre 19 2007 "Dos Pájaros de un Tiro", Joaquín Sabina y Joan Manuel Serrat; octubre 18 2008 "Tal Para Cual", Ana Belén y Víctor Manuel.

El año que entra, en esas mismas fechas, ¿a quién iré a ver?

Memory

MEMORY
Artista: Barbra Streisand
Musical: Cats
Album: The Essential

Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan

Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can dream of the old days
Life was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

Every street lamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp sputters
And soon it will be morning

DaylightI must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I musn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
A street lamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning

Touch me,
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with my memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me,
You'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun...

Qué canción.
Y con esa voz...

Now and Forever

NOW AND FOREVER
Artista: Carole King
Película: A league of their own
Album: Color of your dreams

Now and forever you are a part of me
And the memory cuts like a knife
Didn't we find the ecstasyD
idn't we share the daylight
When you walked into my life

Now and forever I'll remember
All the promises still unbroken
And think about all the words between us
That never needed to be spoken

We had a moment
Just one moment
That will last beyond the dream
Beyond the lifetime
We are the lucky ones
Some people never get to do
Oh we got to do
Now and forever I will always think of you

Didn't we come together
Didn't we live together
Didn't we cry together
Didn't we play together
Didn't we love together
And together we lit up our world

I miss the tears
I miss the laughter
I miss the day we met
And all that followed after
Sometimes I wish I could always be with you
The way we used to do
Now and forever I will always think of you
Now and forever I will always be with you

You've Got a Friend

YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND

Artista: Carole King

Album: Tapestry

When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing, nothing is going right

Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend

If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow

Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there

Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend

Esta es MI canción, y al mismo tiempo es mucho más que eso.
Es un regalo.
Una ofrenda.
Una promesa.
Es una afirmación.

Wind beneath my wings

"Wind Beneath My Wings"
Artista: Bette Midler
Película: Beaches

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.

Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,thank God for you, t
he wind beneath my wings.
