Hoy toca un clásico, y a la vez mi primer intento de integrar videos a mi blog, a ver si lo consigo con exito. He escuchado esta canción hoy yendo a la uni y se me han puesto los pelos de punta pensando en la letra: una chica pidiendo ayuda y un hombre que pasa olimpicamente de ella ("He pretends he can't hear her"). ¿Cuántas veces habremos hecho eso nosotros durante nuestra vida? ¿Cuántas veces miramos para otro lado intentando no ver las injusticias, para no sentirnos mal con nosotros mismos? Por suerte es inevitable que a la vez nos avergoncemos de nuestra actitud, aunque hagamos otras cosas para olvidarlo. ("starts to whistle as he crosses the street seems embarrased to be there.")
PROPOSITO: Intentar no adoptar nunca esa posición: no negarle ayuda a alguien que la necesite nunca... Aprovechar cada momento para hacer la vida un poco más fácil a aquel que lo necesite.
LYRICS:
She calls out to the man on the street
'Sir, can you help me ?'
'it's cold, and I've nowhere to sleep.
is there somewhere you can tell me ?'
He walks on, doesn't look back,
he pretends he can't hear her
starts to whistle as he crosses the street
seems embarrased to be there.
Oh think twice, it's another day for
you and me in paradise
Oh think twice, it's just another day for you,
you and me in paradise
She calls out to the man on the street
he can see she's been crying
she's got blisters on the soles of her feet
she can't walk, but she's trying
Oh think twice .....
Oh Lord, is there nothing more anybody can do
Oh Lord, there must be something you can say
You can tell from the lines on her face
you can see that she's been there
probably been moved on from every place
'cos she didn't fit in there
Oh think twice ......
